Safety and Cost-Savings in the Pharmacy
Pharmacy directors juggle multiple pressures and responsibilities each day, from workplace efficiency to formulary pricing to the workload of our staff. But ultimately, each of these elements helps protect the health and safety of our patients.
The recently released Institute of Medicine report (IOM, 2007) on medication errors highlights our direct impact on preventing medication errors. The IOM estimates that one medication error occurs per patient per day in hospital care. Disturbingly, these errors often involve commonly used antibiotics such as ceftriaxone — the US Pharmacopeia named it among the top 25 drugs associated with medication errors overall (US Pharmacoepia, 2006), and among the top three drugs associated with medication errors in the emergency department (Hospital & Health Networks, 2006).
Multiple factors can contribute to these errors; the challenge is to eliminate as many factors as possible. Although I do not interact with patients directly, as pharmacy director at Potomac Hospital in Woodbridge, Virginia, I am responsible for both the medications they receive and the delivery system used to administer them.
Hospitalized patients routinely receive medications that are not properly activated and therefore administered only partially or not administered at all. Based on that insight, we recommended a simple, concrete first step: use a medication delivery system that helps increase compliance with JCAHO patient safety guidelines and reduce errors.
Most hospitals require pharmacy staff to inspect nursing units and automated drug dispensing machines at least once a month. Refrigerated or frozen solutions expire rather quickly and without frequent inspections, accidental use of expired drugs can occur; this possibility is reduced by using a system that is easily stored, with a long shelf life and no need for refrigeration. In addition, the time required of pharmacy staff to make rounds is reduced. Such a system offers hidden cost-savings: if the physician decides to discontinue the prescription, the unused drug can be returned to the pharmacy inventory, resulting in cost savings and less waste.
Wasted drugs, as any pharmacist will tell you, is no small matter — their cost can add up quickly. Yet the designs of many drug delivery systems actually invite waste, with the drug having to be added into the carrier solution, or reconstituted. These same design flaws can also increase the risk of medication errors.
When nurses mix medications on the floor, they may infuse the carrier solution without the full dose of antibiotic properly integrated, and several concerns arise: patient safety is compromised, and product is wasted — that drug and bag cannot be reused. To help prevent those errors from happening, our system utilizes two chambers separated by a quick release seal, which is broken just before administration. The drug is stored in the chamber adjacent to the IV line, making it impossible to “forget” the antibiotic when administering, helping to prevent dosage errors.
In addition to eliminating waste and preventing inaccurate administration, the drug delivery system can actually reduce distribution time — an attribute crucial in the emergency department or intensive care units. With a drug delivery system that is ready-to-hang, preparation time is eliminated, and patients can receive critical antibiotics within JCAHO-specified time constraints, as in the example of community acquired pneumonia, which requires antibiotic administration within 4 hours to reduce length-of-stay and improve outcomes.
In the critical care units, a drug delivery system that eliminates the need for mixing on the floor helps nurses comply with sterility requirements. Additionally, drug preparation time is significantly reduced with a system that can be stored at room temperature; there is no need to wait for the drug or carrier solution to thaw or warm. And for all patients, room-temperature drugs are far more comfortable than cold, thawed solutions being administered intravenously.
Throughout the hospital, from pharmacy to nursing units, staffs operate with the goal of patient safety. Medication administration errors not only put patients at risk, but can also cost the institution countless dollars in extended patient stays, wasted drugs, and even litigation. As responsible pharmacy directors, we must act to enhance the experience of patients and hospital personnel. Enlisting the help of a thoughtfully designed drug delivery system is a simple, concrete place to start.

Replying to questions, he said a list of 42 fugitives of both Indian and Pakistani nationals, including ones involved in the 1993 Mumbai series bomb blasts and the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, has been given to Islamabad.
Krishna said whatever evidence and dossier is given, Pakistan's refrain is that it is not enough and cannot be proven in court of law.
He said Pakistan has denied presence of dreaded criminals like Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon, Chota Shakeel and Lakhbir Singh who are among the Indian nationals in the list.
"For Pakistani nationals, Pakistan has pointed to lack of extradition treaty and lack of evidence," he said.
"We have made 11 futile attempts with Pakistan to conclude an extradition treaty," he said. Pakistan has not responded "positively to our proposals to conclude an extradition treaty," he said.
"We have been impressing upon Pakistan that it is in the interest of both countries that we enter into a treaty of extradition," Krishna said. "Government is endeavouring to persuade Pakistan to develop a cooperative relationship with India."
Krishna said India will continue to improve relations with Pakistan despite Islamabad's reluctance. "In spite of Pakistan's reluctance to help us to improve our relations, India's endeavour will be to continue to impress upon Pakistan that we have to have good neighbourly relations," he said.
"Our hope is that Pakistan will see sense in such kind of approach," he added.

More than a year after the start of the proceedings, the triple case opened in the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office about the emeritus king and his opaque fortune is advancing towards a diffuse horizon. The investigation has risen in tone in the last hours with the appearance of possible serious crimes of corruption on the payroll of Juan Carlos I but without the Prosecutor’s Office clarifying for the moment if it intends to denounce the monarch before Justice.
The defense of the king emeritus clashes with the Prosecutor’s Office over corruption accusations
In a rogatory commission in which he requests documentation from Switzerland, the content of which was advanced by The world, the Prosecutor’s Office points out for the first time the crimes that Felipe VI’s father could have incurred: money laundering, against the Public Treasury, bribery and influence peddling. The qualitative leap is great, at least with the Penal Code in hand. The investigation that began to examine possible tax crimes, leaving aside everything that Juan Carlos I had done during the forty years that he was head of state and was protected by the shield of inviolability, has been transformed into an investigation into the most common ingredients of corruption cases. Two of them are even part of the catalog that the General Council of the Judiciary includes in its statistics on corruption processes.
On paper, all of this worsens any defendant’s prognosis. Money laundering, for example, is punishable by up to six years in prison. Influence peddling, with up to two years. Bribery, with up to six in the most serious cases. Hypothetical sentences that undoubtedly overshadow the criminal horizon of a defendant for tax crimes, punishable by a maximum of six years in prison. The previous monarch has tried to neutralize the fraud to the Treasury with regularizations in which he has paid the treasury five million euros.
This new catalog of crimes would also aggravate the economic punishment. The Penal Code specifies that a person convicted of money laundering will also have to pay fines three times higher than the value of the money laundered. In the case of the monarch, the 65 million euros that he received from Saudi Arabia in 2008 are being investigated and on which there are suspicions that it could be a commission in the framework of the works of the AVE to Mecca, the ten million euros located in an account on the island of Jersey where he is listed as a beneficiary, the eight million euros in private flights that his distant cousin Álvaro de Orleans paid him, as well as the expenses that he and other relatives – among them, Queen Sofía and some of his grandchildren – they did in 2016, 2017 and 2018 with opaque cards that were nourished by funds not declared to the Treasury, as revealed by elDiario.es.
The Supreme Prosecutor’s Office has indirectly attributed these crimes to the emeritus for several months, as it appears in a rogatory commission sent to Switzerland last February but whose content has just transpired. Once published in the media, the public ministry itself tried to reduce the intensity of its accusations in a statement released this Friday. “We are not facing an opinion, request for prosecution or conclusions from the Prosecutor, but within the framework of a request for information, in which the possible illicit crimes that are the subject of investigation are simply detailed,” said the Prosecutor’s Office in its communication to the media .
The accusations that appear in the letter sent to Switzerland, although circumstantial, have not pleased the defense of the king emeritus. A few hours after transcending the content of the rogatory commission, his lawyer, Javier Sánchez-Junco, starred in an unprecedented public clash with the investigators by ensuring that the communication to the Swiss authorities contains “serious statements and allegations of conduct” that are made , in his opinion, “without any support” and that “they lack the slightest justification, being contradicted by other facts about which nothing is said.” The lawyer did not specify what facts contradict the accusations.
No complaint in sight
This escalation in the accusations and the ongoing investigations have not translated, at least for the moment, into a clear intention of the Prosecutor’s Office to file a complaint against the emeritus before the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court, which is competent to try him. In the same statement, the Prosecutor’s Office acknowledged that it is still waiting to receive documentation from different countries before making a decision, including the possibility of opening new lines of investigation. “It will be precisely the content of the response that the requested authority gives to the corresponding rogatory commission which in turn will allow the Prosecutor to confirm or discard these indications, or even open other avenues of investigation,” said the Public Ministry this Friday.
Long lights on the possible prosecution of some of the ramifications of the case that overlap with various information from the Prosecutor’s Office that points to the file. Media such as El Confidencial or El Mundo have reflected on several occasions that the investigators are not clear that a complaint against Juan Carlos I is viable after the fiscal regulations that he has implemented or because of the inviolability that protects any possible crime committed during his mandate .
Sources of the investigation affirm that the Office of the Supreme Court Prosecutor has already received “almost all” the letters rogatory that they launched, in a process in which collaboration with some countries has been more fluid than with others. The investigations into the monarch in the hands of the public prosecutor’s office are taking longer than other similar investigations into alleged commission agents before their prosecution in the National High Court.
An example of this type of case is the one opened against Gustavo de Arístegui and Pedro Gómez de la Serna, two former leaders of the PP, in December 2015 before falling into the hands of judge José De la Mata in January of the following year. In other cases such as the DEFEX plot, the Anticorruption investigation was extended even more, between February 2013 and the summer of 2014, as stated in the order to open the oral trial of the case.
Last March, in an appearance in the Congress of Deputies and in the face of criticism from some parliamentary groups for the lack of results of the investigations of the Prosecutor’s Office on the emeritus, its head, Dolores Delgado, attributed the slowness of the investigations to “international cooperation” – he said that there were several letters rogatory pending sent to different countries and that delayed their progress – and put in value that these inquiries had allowed to surface an “important” and “unimaginable” amount of money for the public coffers.
Delgado was referring to the 678,393.72 euros that Juan Carlos I paid in December 2020 to prevent a criminal investigation on his opaque cards and the 4.4 million euros deposited in February 2021 with which he intended to regularize the pleasure trips that for years he was paid by a foundation under suspicion. These voluntary regularizations of five million, carried out after knowing that he was being investigated, imply the recognition by the emeritus that he evaded taxes to the Spanish treasury and the attempt to avoid criminal investigations that could seriously compromise his judicial future.
However, the payment of 4.4 million euros opened a new line of investigation in the Public Prosecutor’s Office and an inspection in the Treasury on the origin of those funds. As revealed this Friday The country, the Tax Agency, which is tracking cash income and payments from the account in which the emeritus received his public salary since his abdication, has asked the Casa del Rey to inform him of all the payments he made to Juan Carlos I between 2014 and 2018. Tax inspectors and technicians criticized at that time that the emeritus could have regularized the expenses of the Zagatka Foundation before an inspection was denounced or opened.

"The Battle of New Orleans and American Identity"
Coming at the end of a war that had mostly been as disaster for the United States, the outcome of the Battle of New Orleans restored Americans’ faith in their country and fostered a sense of national identity, aspects of which can be seen in nineteenth-century literature, art, and song. The irony is that this defining victory should have occurred in Louisiana, a place many Americans saw as a foreign land. Yet for Louisianans, too, the victory at Chalmette strengthened and cemented the bonds between themselves and the young republic they had so recently joined.

"My Louisiana Love"
My Louisiana Love follows a young Native American woman, Monique Verdin, as she returns to Southeast Louisiana to reunite with her Houma Indian family. She soon sees that her people’s traditional way of life--fishing, trapping, and hunting these fragile wetlands– is threatened by a cycle of man-made environmental crises. As Louisiana is devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and then the BP oil leak, Monique finds herself turning to environmental activism. She documents her family’s struggle to stay close to the land despite the cycle of disasters and the rapidly disappearing coastline. The film looks at the complex and uneven relationship between the oil industry and the indigenous community of the Mississippi Delta. In this intimate documentary portrait, Monique must overcome the loss of her house, her father, and her partner – and redefine the meaning of home.
Monique Verdin is a native daughter of southeast Louisiana. She is an artist, filmmaker and project manager of The Land Memory Bank & Seed Exchange, which intends to create a record of the unique land, cultures and ecology present at the base of the Mississippi River Delta.

The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council in 2000. The Resolution recognizes the role women play in conflict resolution, conflict management and sustainable peace. It calls women of all levels to participate in the decision making process and in State mechanisms for the prevention and management of conflict. The 4 pillars highlighted by the resolution are participation, protection, prevention, relief and recovery. All member States including Sri Lanka has an obligation to take measures to implement the Resolution at domestic level.This briefing paper summarizes the Baseline Study Women in Times of Transition: 1325 In Sri Lanka carried out by FOKUS, which highlights the extent of participation of women in peace and security initiatives, both state and non state and the challenges faced by women in post conflict Sri Lanka and recommendation for the effective implementation of UNSCR 1325.
1. Chronology of Women, Conflict and Peace Building - Past and Present
FINDINGSWomen have been active in the area of peace for many years. However UNSCR 1325 is not utilized as an entry point to address womens needs.
yAlthough womens groups collaborate on specific issues of concern, there is no distinct womens movement in Sri Lanka.
yWomens efforts on peace building are diverse and are included within a broader framework of developmental, political and social, cultural and economical issues.Militarization in the North and Vanni has impacted womens security. A sense of
insecurity and fear leaves little room for reconciliation and peace building efforts.Post war has left many women as widows to bear primary responsibility for income
generation as female heads of households creating new labour demands.Securing land rights in the light of government policies on resettlement, land
documentation, dismantling of HSZ, availability of usable land and inability to prove title due to lack of documentation has added to the vulnerabilities of women.
Women in Times of Transition
1325 in Sri Lanka
2. Implementation of UNSCR 1325State meCHaNISmS aND FRameWoRkS the State has the sole responsibility and obligation to ensure the implementation of UNSCR 1325.
However, the State does not have a formal mechanism or framework to ensure its realization. The implementation of 1325 is through existing institutions or networks or through mechanisms especially created after the conflict for the conflict affected areas. These primary institutions and initiatives broadly include:
yThe Draft National Action Plan on Women (NAP) which includes a component on women in armed conflict;
yThe Presidential Task Force on Northern Development (PTF) 2009 on resettlement;
yDevelopment and security in Northern Province;yThe Sri Lanka Joint Plan for Assistance Northern Province 2011;yThe Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) 2010 and the yThe National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP) 2012.
CIvIl SoCIety meCHaNISmS aND FRameWoRkSThere are many civil society organizations working at the national level as well as in post conflict areas that encourage and advocate womens participation in peace building and reconciliation.
this work is not always directly related to or done for the purpose of enforcing 1325 but contribute towards womens empowerment, womens participation in politics, equal rights and prevention of GBv, livelihood options and economic development.
Civil society organizations and initiatives are largely concentrated in Batticaloe, Trincomalee, Polonnaruwa border village areas, Vanni, Jaffna, Vauniya, Ampara, Akkaraipattu and in Puttlam in IDP centres.
UNIteD NatIoNS aND INGo meCHaNISmS aND FRameWoRkSthe United Nations Development assistance Framework (UNDaF) supports governance, peace, gender and poverty initiatives through its implementing agencies.
the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPa) specifically targets its initiatives based on 1325 in providing support for local womens organizations and national NGos, womens centres at village level and the Human Rights Joint Programme focuses on promotion and implementation of womens participation in peace and security.
INGOs such as the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Diakonia and CARE provide legal aid and psycho social recovery and reintegration of people affected by war.
CaRe supported a project Women Headed Households for Development and Peace and sought to support 1325 by strengthening WHH in the decision making processes.

3. Baseline: Has the 1325 mandate been realized?GeNeRal CoNClUSIoNS the UNSCR 1325 has made a minimal impact in Sri lanka due to lack of accountability and commitment on the part of the State.
yCurrent challenges in the North, East and Vanni impede work on 1325.yFailure to accept or realize that gender concerns are paramount to rebuilding war
tone areas by the state imposes a threat to peace building and reconciliation. yThe 1325 label has not been attached to majority of current peace building work
thereby minimizing its impact. yLack of awareness on the UNSCR 1325 by the state, civil society and even the UN
agencies pose difficulties in monitoring its work. yThere is minimum engagement with the media on introducing and implementing
the UNSCR 1325.yThe inordinate delay in implementing the Draft National Action Plan for Women
which includes a section on Women in Armed Conflict is a drawback to the implementation of the resolution.
yLack of a concerted effort to coordination and advocacy by civil society organizations together with the state on issues such as land rights, resettlement, housing and security has impeded work under 1325.
yLack of systematic documentation of research and advocacy and a systematic approach to trainings and workshops organized by womens organizations and donor agencies minimize impact made by 1325 activities.
It is important to pick leaders amongst the women through workshops. training fifty women does not mean you educate them. It is also important that the chosen women are those that command the respect of the community at largea change of strategy is needed ms. Ferial ashraff, Former minister
4. Recommendations GeNeRal ReCommeNDatIoNS The implementation of UNSCR 1325 should be context oriented: taking into account womens meaningful participation in peace building given the lack of livelihood options, democracy and security, erosion of media freedom and the right to freedom of speech and dissent.
leadership and commitment to enforce the resolution must come from the State.
yA Link should be drawn with other international instruments such as CEDAW concluding observations relating to gender and 1325 to ensure a holistic approach to gender based interventions.
yGeneral intervention to empower women through increase in womens participation in politics is vital to development.
1325 in Sri Lanka
... 3 ...
SPeCIFIC ReCommeNDatIoNS Demystification of UNSCR 1325 Create awareness on content and impact of UNSCR 1325 through local translation and dissemination
yUN Agencies to apply and label 1325 to research, advocacy and funded projects to encourage and expedite the implementation of the UNSCR 1325.
yWomens groups within and outside the state to identify initiatives based on their international obligations such as the UNSCR 1325.
yTo tap into existing awareness campaigns such as the SthreeMela to create awareness.
training Programmes to include a module on 1325a 1325 module to be developed and include procedural as well as substantive aspects of peace building
yThese modules should be included into ongoing existing training programmes such as the Mediation programme and the CSHR Advanced Training Course on Women and Peace Building.
ySuccessful models such as the Womens Centres, WRDSs and Study circles should be replicated to mobilize and empower women at the grassroots level.
Data Collection and Research there is an urgent need for systematic documentation of data disaggregated by gender
yThere is a need for systematic documentation of those who have lost their legal documents due to war, displacement, tsunami, etc and provision of the same to secure land rights and other entitlements.
yCollection of Data should be disaggregated by Gender to target gender sensitive development initiatives.
yOrganizations should develop necessary skills and training for systematic documentation
yResearch should be targeted and new research areas should be identified in the North, East and Vanni.
Identification of Specialists groups to empower, to network and coordinate the State needs to identify specific officers and groups with the existing government administrative framework to channel initiatives to maximize on resources and impact.
yIdentify potential partners and political groups such as Club 1325, faith based groups, informal groups such as Team1325, GBV networks and local community groups to lead advocacy on womens issues.
yWomens organizations especially in affected areas to network and coordinate at a local, district and national level to ensure a top down and bottom up approach.
Inclusion of media in 1325 workyBuild awareness on the part of the Electronic, Print and New Media with regard to
UNSCR 1325 in order to create mass awareness and disseminate information

For the first time in human history more people now live in cities than don’t. Yet urban areas continue to be characterised by what are often extreme and stark variations in economic and social health, says Dr Arpana Verma.
It is no surprise that the juxtaposition of the urban rich living right next to the urban poor means health inequality remains a burning issue for policymakers.
Indeed, ever since the World Bank recently classified the urban poor as actually being worse off than the rural poor, the debate has gained a considerable head of steam. An acceptance has grown that international collaboration and knowledge exchange is now fundamental to public health improvements.
One particular response has been the European Urban Health Indicators System projects, which were set up to try and learn more about health in cities, and to try and improve the health and well-being of urban populations. Specifically, the aim was to improve health in urban areas through the collection and analysis of health-related indicators. The project went on to become the largest urban health and lifestyle survey ever carried out in Europe, generating comparable estimates for 50 cities and urban conurbations on a range of health and well-being issues.
For instance, it revealed that Greater Manchester and Merseyside suffered from some of the highest binge drinking rates among teenagers in Europe. The lowest rate of teenage drinking was found in the Macedonian city of Tetove where just 16% of the population had drunk alcohol before the age of 13, compared to a shocking 61% in Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
However urban health problems are particularly magnified for the elderly. With the number of over 75s set to triple worldwide over the next 40 years, this means there will be a massive increase in people living in cities being more susceptible to infectious diseases such as TB and pneumonia; non-communicable diseases such as asthma, heart disease, cancer and diabetes; and injury from road traffic accidents.
The numbers are already cause for concern. If you look at life expectancy in the UK it is diverging across the country with the gap getting wider both within cities and between regions. For instance, according to the Office for National Statistics, from 2010–12 male life expectancy at birth was highest in East Dorset (82.9 years) and lowest in Glasgow City (72.6 years). For women, life expectancy at birth was highest in Purbeck, Dorset (86.6 years) and again lowest in Glasgow City (78.5 years). Approximately 91% of baby boys in East Dorset and 94% of girls in Purbeck will reach their 65th birthday, while comparable figures for Glasgow City are 75% for baby boys and 85% for baby girls.
Against this backdrop it is now imperative that policymakers implement a generic health and wellbeing toolkit to ensure that the ageing are cared for properly in our cities.The big challenge though, is how do you actually go about presenting health indicators to policymakers?
In this context a new EU grant has recently been secured for Urban Health Centre 2.0 which will focus on impacts of healthy ageing such as frailty, integrated care pathways and the prevention of falls. It is a three year project involving institutions in five European cities including Manchester, Valencia, Rotterdam, Rijeka (Croatia) and Pallini (Greece). The organisation overseeing the research in Manchester will be the Manchester Urban Collaboration on Health (MUCH) in The University of Manchester’s urban health department.
We’re very excited about the potential of this latest study which will build further on our work of recent years. The interaction that will now take place between us, general practice, Tameside and Manchester City Council, and UK policymakers, is a fantastic opportunity to help influence policy in order to make cities better places to live, work and play.
By analysing a range of indicators it will particularly help us further analyse precisely where the inequalities in our cities exist, and what we can do to address them.
Quantifying all our data will be extremely important for policymakers who want to know exactly what the costs and benefits are. Community involvement will also be key. Within cities, influences and decisions on people’s health does not just lie with the health sector but with local authority, education, urban planners, engineers and those who determine physical infrastructure and access to social and health services. Getting all the right people behind the table will be very important.
One also needs to bear in mind that the built environment affects the work we do in urban health. Urban planning, architecture and health are all intrinsically linked.
We will be exploring how physical factors affect health issues too. If you take a city like Manchester, yes it has some fantastic new buildings and parts of the city such as Salford Quays have been transformed. But what actually happens to the communities in these areas? Where do they go? Does their health improve?
Our study is just one of many ongoing around the globe on this subject. The wider drive to harmonise data collection tools so that we can collate more data in more countries is gaining real traction. The ultimate goal will be to put together one definitive index for urban health, a panacea for all policymakers.

Cross-country: Wilsonville to reunite with rival Sherwood at Sandelie Golf Course
Teams meet two months after joint training camp
Wilsonville cross-country coach David Barkley knows his schools rivalry with Sherwood is often intense. But he doesnt believe it has to be bitter.
So when his Wildcats arrive at Sandelie Golf Course for a 34-team meet Oct. 11, perhaps theyll exchange pleasantries with the Bowmen. Maybe theyll ask each other about their respective seasons, crack a few jokes and wish each other good luck.
Sherwoods runners, after all, are not complete strangers. Wilsonvilles student-athletes began building relationships with them during a joint training camp in August, part of a competitive yet symbiotic framework that the two Northwest Oregon Conference contenders have created over the last decade.
In cross-country, anyway.
Steel sharpens steel, Barkley said. But we really do it so the kids know that, after the race is over, the kids at Sherwood are really good people.
After the district race is over in cross country, your competitors from districts are the folks that are pulling for you in the state meet. The kid you out-leaned, or vice versa, is likely the only one who really knows how hard you ran. Hence, we bring Sherwood along.
The Wildcats and the Bowmen have come together for preseason training camps three times since Barkley took the helm at Wilsonville about 10 years ago.
The joint sessions didnt start with Sherwood, though. They started with Lakeridge.
About 7 years ago, Wilsonville teamed up with the Pacers for offseason training and other activities because of a family connection between the schools. Jalen and Ty James, the sons of Lakeridge coach Ken James, both ran at Wilsonville.
They have an excellent coaching staff, Barkley said of Lakeridge, which will also take part in the upcoming meet at Sandelie Golf Course. We swap ideas, and both programs have improved for it.
Barkley has also formed strong bonds with Sherwood coach Wendell Otto and his assistants thanks to many years of crossing paths in the running world even before the Wildcats and the Bowmen moved up from Class 3A to 5A in 2007.
So after Barkley saw the benefits of his programs camaraderie with Lakeridge, he and Otto decided to bring a similar dynamic to the Wilsonville-Sherwood rivalry.
The rivalry adds a little bit of spice to workouts and runs, Barkley said of the preseason training camps with Sherwood. It is important for our athletes to recognize that the Sherwood kids are good people.
For both the Wildcats and the Bowmen, the upcoming meet at Sandelie Golf Course is the final tune-up before the Oct. 23 district championships.
The girls varsity race will begin at 4:15 p.m. at the 9-hole golf course off Advance Road. The boys race will follow at 4:45 p.m. Parking costs $5 per vehicle.

10 Don’t-Miss Experiences For Your Next Visit to Red Lodge, Montana
10 Don’t-Miss Experiences For Your Next Visit to Red Lodge, Montanatim.weamer2018-08-07T10:10:13-06:00
Tucked at the base of the rugged Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, Red Lodge is a bucket-list stop for anyone visiting Montana. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this quaint hub of barely 2,000 residents has become a destination all its own—a quiet getaway from the more well-known attractions in the state. There’s something for everyone, whether you want to ski, fish, hike, spend the day golfing, or relax with a locally brewed beer.
In fact, there’s so much to choose from that we’ve rounded up 10 of the most incredible experiences you can have in Red Lodge—including a day on a lake, a quad-busting hike in the surrounding wilderness, a historical look at the region, and much more.
1. Drive (or Bike) the Beartooth Highway
Rising nearly 11,000 feet above sea level, the Beartooth Highway is a National Scenic Byway and one of the highest-elevation highways in the U.S. Pull over at one of many awe-inspiring viewpoints and look for mountain goats grazing on the hills. If you drive this route at the right time, take a photo next to the 15-foot-tall snow banks plowed by the hard-working road crews. Avid, fit cyclists can ride the Beartooth Highway, but be sure to brush up on your road etiquette and be vigilant of cars on this challenging, winding ride. The highway is 68 miles long and leads all the way to Yellowstone National Park’s Northeast Entrance.
2. Explore the Northeast Side of Yellowstone National Park
Since you’re here already after driving the Beartooth Highway, don’t miss a day exploring the northeast side of Yellowstone National Park. You’ll enter the park via one of the most iconic entrances. Be sure to stop in Lamar Valley and look for wolves. This side of the park is truly incredible and houses one of the most diverse array of large animals in the Lower 48. On the way back, time your drive to catch the sunset from the top of the Beartooth Highway.
3. Raft the Stillwater River
Strap on a life jacket, grab a paddle, and get ready for some whitewater excitement. An assortment of local outfitters will regale boaters with tales of the region while providing a guided rafting trip through the region. The Stillwater River is a tributary of the mighty Yellowstone, flowing between the Absaroka Range and the Beartooth Mountains. It is prime for fishing and rafting, and there are many options for tour duration and difficulty.
4. Hike the Beaten Path through the Beartooth Mountains
If you’re looking for one of the most incredible multi-day hikes in the country, look no further than the 26-mile Beaten Path. The trailhead for this incredible trek is located just 25 minutes from downtown Red Lodge, starting a path that traces across the Absaroka Wilderness all the way to Cooke City. Shuttle logistics and backpacking gear are all you need to spend 1-3 nights camped in this incredible country. The trail is easy to follow, and there are so many lakes you’ll lose count along the way.
5. See Mountain Lions, Bears, and More at the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary
See the animal residents of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem up close and personal at the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary, a nonprofit facility located just minutes off Red Lodge’s main drag. The sanctuary provides lifelong care and habitat for non-releasable Montana wildlife while educating visitors about conservation and rehabilitation for their 35-plus animals. Take a stroll around the different habitats, or for a few extra bucks, schedule a private wildlife encounter or sanctuary tour. Educational programs run year-round as well—check online for schedule updates.
6) Land a Trout on Rock Creek
Rock Creek begins in the mountains of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness before flowing more than 55 miles to the confluence with the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. This scenic body of water passes right by Red Lodge, packed with brook and cutthroat trout above town, and full of rainbow and brown trout downstream. This river is ideal for fishermen without drift boats, as it is accessible, makes for easy wading, and can be crossed in multiple shallow areas depending on runoff and season.
7. Relax at Wild Bill Lake
This peaceful lake and recreation area sits right outside town, located on the West Fork of Rock Creek Road. The family-friendly, wheelchair-accessible body of water is stocked with rainbow trout several times per year, and it is easily reached via a short trail. Picnic sites and maintained toilets make this a perfect place to spend the afternoon relaxing, picnicking, or practicing your cast.
8. Stroll the Historic Downtown Shopping Area
Park your car and stroll from one end of Broadway Avenue—Red Lodge’s historic main street—to the other. Grab a fresh-brewed coffee, a bite to eat, and check out the unique local shops, some of which still have their original facades. Whether you’re looking to browse fine art, poke through antique collections, or gear up for your next wilderness adventure, you’ll find it here.
9. Discover Local History at the Carbon County Historical Society and Museum
Looking for an entertaining and educational way to spend a few hours? Check out the Carbon County Historical Society and Museum to discover the mining history of the area, follow the journey of early explorers, and examine artifacts from the Apsaalooke Indian Tribe. This local attraction was created in 1959 by Alice Greenough to preserve and display her rodeo family’s extensive collection. Today’s visitors will see collections of rodeo, firearm, and geologic artifacts, in addition to an interactive coal and hard-rock mining exhibit. Lectures, visiting authors, and other events take place throughout the season.
10. Grab a Pint at the Red Lodge Ales Brewery
Thanks to a dry climate, soft water, and high-quality Montana-grown malting barley, Red Lodge is an optimal place to brew beer. Stop by the Red Lodge Ales Brewing Company after a day on the river or trails and enjoy locally brewed beer, laid-back vibes, and enough food to help you recover from your day of activities. Beer drinkers of all tastes will find something here, whether you’re in the mood for an IPA, a porter, or one of its seasonal specialties. Plus, all Red Lodge beers are brewed with energy-efficient practices, which means you can feel even better about your pint.

Overall: A highly drinkable IPA on the slightly sweet, piney-side with plenty of hops and a high-enough ABV (7%) to easily make it worth the admission price. At this level, and especially for the price ($9 for six-pack bottles) there may not be a better mid-level IPA. A current go-to beer for me. ReidBix (27) - - JUN 26, 2017
Pretty smooth IPA, bit of some fruity hops with a simple aftertaste. One of the easier IPAs to drink, but is still refreshing

André Sevrugian , known later as “Darvish,” was the son of photographer AntoineKhan Sevruguine , born on May 1,1894 in Tehran. Vasil, Antoine’s father, studied Oriental languages at the Lazarev School in Moscow, after which he entered the civil service, working as a diplomat at the Russian Embassy in Tehran. Vasil, due to his political position, was obliged to change the surname “de Sevruguine.” Antoine adapted the name slightly, while his son André returned to the Armenian spelling. Antoine Sevruguine left the world of photography an exceptional oeuvre, consisting of photographs of the various regions of Iran and the court of Naser ad-Din Shah of the Qajar Dynasty.
André inherited his father’s artistic predisposition, and was fascinated from a very early age by Persian poetry, which was later to be central to his artistic oeuvre. He was present when his father’s friends visited his home, and would listen in fascination when his father recited verses from the Shahname. Often he would put on an old helmet, jump on a chair and pretend to be Rostam, Afrasyab, Qejqaus or Bijan, the heroes of the epic. He belonged to the generation of artists of the first third of the 20th century who attempted to bring something new into the rich and renowned tradition of Pesian art, which had stagnated since the 19th century.
He proceeded to illustrate his childhood dreams, inspired by evening recitations of the Persian national epic Shahname in his parents’ house. In these pictures he was able to integrate the styles of the early and Safavid masters, such as Behzad and Reza Abbasi with their ornamentalized focus on detail, with modern elements, such as perspective, light and shadow, and spatiality. The result was again a series of illustrations of Omar Khayyam,Hafez and Baba Taher. Paintings on Armenian history and folk life, and particularly the songs of the Armenian bard Sayat-Nova, have a specific place in Darvish’s oeuvre. André Sevrugian let himself be inspired by the centuries-old tradition of Persian book illustrations, and yet his paintings are a unique synthesis of Western and Eastern art.

Your Achilles tendon – the longest tendon in your body – connects your calf muscles to your heel bones. One incorrect step or landing though, and you can quickly injure it. When this happens, the expert podiatry team at The Foot Doctors of Santa Cruz County can help. They offer several Achilles tendon treatments at their Watsonville and Santa Cruz, California, offices, so you can heal and come back stronger to prevent future injuries. Schedule your exam by requesting an appointment online or by calling your most convenient location.
Achilles Tendon Q & A
What causes Achilles tendinitis?
Achilles tendinitis stems from repetitive motions or intense strain on the tendon. Since your Achilles tendon is responsible allowing walking, running, or jumping motions, it’s relatively easy to stress or overuse it. You have a higher chance of developing an Achilles tendon injury — including a tear or rupture — if you:
- Run long distances
- Are older or are male
- Have flat arches
- Participate in jumping sports or activities that require sudden stops, like basketball or tennis
Medical experts also find that men and women who have chronic inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis, also have a greater risk of Achilles tendinitis. Sometimes, you might just be prone to injury because of the use of certain types of antibiotics, too.
How do I know if I have Achilles tendinitis?
The symptoms you experience from Achilles tendinitis depend on the severity of your injury. Initially, you may feel mild aching along the back of your lower leg, right above your heel, especially after running or playing sports.
As your Achilles tendon injury worsens, it’s common to start noticing some tenderness or stiffness that’s usually worse in the morning or right after waking. You might also find that this discomfort occurs after long periods of sitting. If left untreated, your Achilles tendon issues can continue to worsen.
What is the treatment for an Achilles tendon injury?
Treating an Achilles tendon injury includes a combination of several therapies that are designed to reduce pain and inflammation, build up strength, and prevent future injury. Your individual Achilles tendon injury care plan at The Foot Doctors of Santa Cruz County can include:
- Custom orthotics or wedge inserts
- Stabilization through bracing
- Physical therapy and localized stretching
- Anti-inflammatory medications
In most cases, Achilles tendinitis improves within a few months of trying these conservative therapies. If your condition is worsening or if you’re just not getting relief, your dedicated podiatrist could suggest surgery. Achilles tendon surgery involves repairing any tears or ruptures in the injured tendon.
