By ROSE DREGER - ‘Did you know that | commini- ty action is an effective way ta influence the health of your community? Many factors influence how healthy we are as individuals: While some of.our ilinesses are inherited, more of them are related to our ability to adjust to our environment. We get sick. when our resources are low. Communities also respond to” their environments. Some fac-. tors, such as weather and geography are beyond our con- trol, The northwest will never ‘be southern California. But ‘ within these' restrictions: there . are many things that we can modify.

If you are like 99% of-us, that entire “happening” occupied a duration of only a few moments, or a few. years at most. And yet it is the one thing that we rernember above all else.
