Saturday, October 26, is Matilda Jackson Legacy Day at the historic 1847 Jackson Courthouse. We'll honor the pioneer woman who crossed the Oregon Trail in 1847, watched her husband drown crossing the Snake River in what today is Idaho, gave premature birth to her baby girl, and finished the trip with her four young sons between the ages of nine and three. She recuperated at the Whitman Mission, shot Celilo Falls in a canoe because she was too weak to portage around, and, in May 1848, married the first American settler north of the Columbia River. She gained a reputation for good cooking and hospitality throughout Washington Territory and entertained Washington Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens and his family as well as U.S. Grant, Phil Sheridan, and George McClellan, who later became generals. We'll also unveil the book, Washington Territory's Grand Lady: The Story of Matilda (Glover) Koontz Jackson. A special U.S. postal cancellation honoring Matilda will be available at the Jackson Courthouse station.

WA State Attorney General: AG FERGUSON WANTS TO HEAR FROM BORROWERS STRUGGLING WITH PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS
October 17, 2019
Department of Education has approved only 1 percent of applicants
OLYMPIA — Attorney General Bob Ferguson is urging Washington student loan borrowers who have had trouble with public service loan forgiveness to submit a complaint to the Attorney General’s Office. According to the U.S. Department of Education, it has only approved 1 percent of applications for loan forgiveness under the program.
“With the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, the federal government made a deal with students,” Ferguson said. “For a decade, these borrowers have upheld their part of the bargain by using their talent and skills for the public benefit. However, the refusal rates we’re seeing are frankly alarming. I’m asking any Washingtonians who have had trouble with this program to contact my office.”
Information on filing a complaint is available here.

Health Corner: Health Capsule - Millions Taking Aspirin Without Clear Benefit
News In Health - National Institutes of Health
October 2019 - Many people take aspirin every day to prevent a heart attack or stroke. But daily aspirin isn’t advised for everyone. A survey found that about 29 million adults without heart disease take low-dose aspirin for prevention. But many of them shouldn’t under new guidelines.
Aspirin works by thinning the blood and preventing clots. But taking a daily aspirin can also increase the risk of bleeding.
New studies found that aspirin has little benefit for some people. As a result, experts no longer recommend daily low-dose aspirin for adults age 70 and older—or for people with a higher risk of bleeding, like those with stomach ulcers.
So how many people are affected by the new guidelines? To answer this, scientists surveyed 14,000 adults age 40 and older. About 23% of people without heart disease were taking a daily aspirin for prevention. Almost a quarter of these did so without a health care provider’s recommendation.
Nearly half of people age 70 and older who did not have heart disease reported using aspirin daily. So did a quarter of people with a history of stomach ulcers.
“Our findings suggest that a substantial portion of adults may be taking aspirin without their physician’s advice and potentially without their knowledge,” says Dr. Christina Wee at Harvard University, who led the study.
Talk with your doctor if you’re taking aspirin daily or plan to start.
*NIH Health Capsule posted monthly.
*Disclaimer: As always, check with your medical practitioner before embarking on lifestyle changes. Health Corner topics are intended to raise questions rather than answer them definitively. Things change. New knowledge arises. Ancient wisdom is revived.
And miracles take place against all odds.
