    Battle zucchini

    Overwhelmed with zucchini? Some of us at the Herald and News are. One of our copy editors brought in a box of giant zucchini last week and put us to the test. I turned one specimen into four loaves of zucchini bread and a casserole and still had a significant amount left. That’s not counting the zucchini that ended up in my eyebrows. Luckily, the Herald and News is here to help. Each year we print recipes from readers. If you have a tasty favorite, send it to news@heraldandnews.com.

Testing for staph: What our hospitals do

Monday, November 12, 2007 10:08 PM PST
10 p.m., Monday, Nov. 12, 2007

Oregon and California hospitals aren't required to test patients for MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant strain of staph. Staph are bacteria that live in the nose and throat of healthy people, and about 1 percent of the population carry the drug-resistant form.

Hospital officials say other preventative measures are in place, such as handwashing and isolating patients for testing who show signs of staph infection.

Full story will be in Tuesday's Herald and News.
