Being thoughtful about who is elected, no matter what the level, and the perspective they take on public education is extremely important right here in the Omak School District. The Omak School District does not have any ballot measures on the November ballot. However, the state and federal legislators and State Superintendent of Public Instruction, who determine school funding and set learning priorities, are on the ballot.

The main push behind the upgrades is to enhance our 911 response. Now any phone call to 911 will show the exact room the call came from. All external phone numbers have remained the same. Internal extensions have changed. The system is being managed by the NCW Educa- tional Service District.

Okanogan County law enforcement is also launch- ing a separate line, but information can be shared between the two if needed. For the Omak Schools tipline, anyone can text with a keyword or submit a tip via social media or web form. Tips could be anything such as seeing drugs or alcohol on a school campus, reporting bullying, sharing concerns about a potentially suicidal friend or sharing something positive about a program or employee. A mobile tipline app will be available from Android or in the App Store soon. Register for OK Fair There’s still time to register for Okanogan County Fair!

Before availability of vaccines, thousands of children and adults died each year in the United States from diseases. With tIle advent of modern vaccines in the 1950's millions have been spared the devastating and debilitating effects of once-common diseases such as polio. However, there is evidence that vaccine preventable diseases such as pertussis are on the rise, with over 2300 cases currently in Washington State and a large number ofthose cases occurring in adolescents. The author will assess adolescent immunization rates, review current literature addressing adolescent immunizations, and identify strategies for meetillg Healthy People 2020 immunization goals in rural communities. ADOLESCENT IMMUNIZATION RATES 3 Improving Adolescent Immunization Rates in Rural America Inlmunization demonstrates primary prevention at its best and is one ofthe most effective interventions that protect family's health. However, many vaccine-preventable diseases continue to be significant public health problems in the United States despite wide availability of safe and effective vaccines (Centers for Disease Control, 2011).

  • Bonaparte Creek – Okanogan River Watershed HUC #1702000602
    Bonaparte Creek – Okanogan River Watershed HUC #1702000602 This is a collection of quantitative and qualitative information to develop a watershed profile, analysis of that information sufficient to make qualitative statements as to resource concerns and conditions, and the generation of new information with which to make decisions about conservation needs and recommendations. These assessments are conducted through the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and by conservation planning teams working within the watershed, meeting with landowners and conservation groups, inventorying agricultural areas, assessing current levels of resource management, identifying conservation recommendations, and making qualitative estimates of the impacts of conservation on local resource concerns. FINAL - August 31, 2012 Okanogan Conservation District, 1251 2nd Ave. South, Room 101, Okanogan, WA 98840 – www.okanogancd.org Funding provided by the Washington State Conservation Commission. Introduction The Bonaparte Creek – Okanogan River 10 digit Hydrologic Unit (#1702000602) is a portion of the larger Okanogan River Watershed in Okanogan County, Washington. This HUC10 is about 249,994 acres in size. Private lands in the watershed are approximately 170,040 acres, with the remainder in public land (Federal, Tribal, and State) management. The watershed is dominated by range land with approximately 144,378 acres and forested land with approximately 100,388 acres. Cropped lands are primarily located near the valley floors, along streams and adjacent terraces. Most cropped lands are a mixture of irrigated and non-irrigated pasture and hay land. There are also proportionally significant acreages of irrigated orchard which are predominately on the Okanogan River valley floor. The City of Tonasket is the only urban area of the watershed located along the northern edge of the watershed planning area.
