Salisbury High School, Rolling Hills Foundation and Barnes and Noble teamed up recently to pro- vide new books to students that they can call their own. Darbie Andrews, a teacher at Salisbury, has dreamed of students being able to experience a real book store like Barnes and Noble and be able to pick out and take home a book of their choosing. She went the extra mile to contact Rolling Hills Foundation and put in for a donation of $1,600. The foundation awarded the donation of $1,600 and then Andrews contacted Barnes and Noble to set up a book fair for the school. The book fair allows a per- centage of sales at the store to be distributed back to Salisbury High School for future student book pur- chases. Two trips have already been taken up to the Red- ding Barnes and Noble Store. Another one for the REACH students is planned for April 17. Students have a total of $20-25 to get whatever books they desire. Some students knew exactly what they wanted and picked it out right away and others took their time and really looked around to find some- thing special. One of the students from the first trip, Cyrille Re- ese, said, "Their collection of books is amazing. I had never been to a Barnes and Noble store before so it was great to have this opportu- nity. Getting to pick out a book for myself was an amazing experience." Field trips up to Barnes and Noble will continue for students as long as there is money in the account. Hopefully the school can continue to get donations and the money coming back from the book fairs will keep this going for a long time. "It's been wonderful working with the Roll- ing Hills Foundation and Barnes and Noble," An- drews said. "They have re- ally stepped up and sup- ported Salisbury High School and our students." The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians and Roll- ing Hills Casino are proud donors to many community projects and events. They have donated more than $5.5 million since open- ing in 2002. They primar- ily make major donations to community education proj- ects.

Man has narrow escape when bed catches on fire Spring is officially here and with it, mosquitoes have begun their emer- gence. Be- sides be- ing terribly annoying, mosquitoes can carry the nema- tode para- site known as Dirofi- laria immitis, which causes that deadly disease known as heartworm. In compan- ion animals, heartworm is diagnosed mainly in dogs and less frequently in cats and ferrets. However, heart- worms also live in other wild animal hosts such as wolves, coyotes, foxes, Cali- fornia gray seals, sea lions, and raccoons. Make no mis- take, even though the dis- ease is easily preventable, it is prevalent, and it is a killer. Mosquitoes acquire the parasite while feeding on an infected host. Once in- gested by the mosquito, the parasite develops into ma- ture infective larvae. These larvae then migrate to the "mouthpart" of the mos- quito so that when it bites, they move into the wound created and deposit them- selves into the bloodstream where they will then be- gin the harmful portion of their life cycle. Heartworm is only conveyed through the bite of an infected mos- quito, therefore an infected dog cannot transmit the disease to either people or other pets. It will take these depos- ited larvae approximately 6 months to mature into adult heartworms. If un- treated, these adults will mate and produce prog- eny, thus increasing their numbers. In addition, adult heartworms can live for 5-7 years in dogs, thus each mosquito season can poten- tially increase the number of worms in an already in- fected pet. As these heartworms move through the body they can cause extensive damage to many vital organs such as liver, lungs, kidneys, and heart. They can cause in- flammation of the blood ves- sels, and too many of them can cause heart failure, re- sulting in the pet's death. However, by giving a rela- tively inexpensive monthly oral medication, heartworm in dogs is preventable. One may wish to give the dog the chewable pill only during the typical mosquito season. However, because many of these preventatives also in- clude a control for round- worms, whipworms, or tape- worms, it is best to give it throughout the year. When initially choosing a method of prevention, discuss it with your veterinarian. They can make recommendations based on your pet's require- ments. One of the first symp- toms that the animal has heartworm is coughing. Coughing up bloody mu- cous and chest pain follow. Other symptoms are vom- iting, weight loss, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Some dogs may not have any symptoms until the in- fection is in its late stages. Even though they may have a large number of worms present, symptoms may not be observed in inactive dogs until a dramatic increase in activity causes symptoms to manifest. The best way to treat heartworms is, initially, to have x-rays and blood tests done to establish how seri- ous the infection is. After this, a series of injections of drugs called adulticides is administered to the dog. The two adulticides used most commonly are deriv- atives of arsenic. Depend- ing on whether all the pre- treatment tests are done, or just the treatment given, costs can range anywhere between a few hundred dol- lars to over a thousand. However, if you opt instead to use the common monthly preventative in a dog with the disease, you can expect the dog to remain heart- worm positive for about two years. Unfortunately, while being treated the heart- worms continue to cause permanent damage to the heart. Nevertheless, if some- one cannot afford the ac- tual treatment, using the monthly preventative is cer- tainly better than not doing anything. It is also important to re- member that during and after treatment, for sev- eral months the dog must remain quiet. After the worms begin to die, they break into pieces that may cause blockage of vital blood vessels, which could also result in death. Keep- ing the dog quiet allows his/her body time to absorb the dying worms.

Our pets depend on us to take care of them. Heart- worm prevention is one of the ways we can protect our faithful companions from disease and help insure that they will have long, active lives and healthy hearts.
