Facts are facts, but stories sellFacts are facts--but storiessell. I learned this manyyears ago, and listening to andreading reports of news sto-ries since that time has onlysharpened my resolve to tellthe story as it is. I do notconsider owning or reportingin a newspaper to be licenseto in any distort the facts in astory. The story should standfor and by itself. There have beenmany times when I have at-tended events and have writ-ten my story only to find that itis significantly different thanthe story other reporters havetold. One or both of us iswrong when that happens. Internet news-whichis the only news that manypeople get nowadays-is sooften skewed so badly thatyou have to wonder what plan-et those people are on, ormore specifically, which planetreporters are on. I would beunkind and ask what kind ofmedication they were on if ev-eryone didn't deserve somerespect. This is not to say thatthere aren't good reporters outthere who do fair and unbi-

ased stories, because thereare. But the insane desireto chastise gun owners be-cause of the actions of a fewcrazies is really lame. My in-formation says that the shoot-er in Orlando used an AR-15rifle and handguns to kill alarge number of people. Well,there are literally millions ofAR-15 rifles out there and notall are using them for killinggays in a nightclub. Most usethem for fun or for target prac-tice or competitive shooting.Actually, there are probablymore than a billion firearmslegally owned in this countryand the vast majority is usedfor legal purposes, such ashunting, target shooting or forinformal plinking. They arenot used in the commission ofcrimes. Yet the media (usingthe term to brand a vast major-ity of them) like to embellishthe story so they get nationalrecognition. Firearms, and es-pecially what they refer to asassault weapons, has becomea buzzword for certain peo-ples in Washington and bearsno semblance to what he factsare in the case. Yes, it is

certainly a tragedy, whether itis Orlando, Ft. Hood Texas, orFaluja. But get things in per-spective. Airplanes wiped out3,000 on 9/11, at least sixearthquakes accounted forupwards of 100,000 deathseach since 1900, and hurri-canes and tropical stormshave wiped out far more thana lone gunman. 3 million peo-ple in Africa were killed withmachetes in an ethnic cleans-ing without too much publicscrutiny--hard to pin that oneon illegal use of firearms. We need to scrutinizethe news rather than just takeit in without filters. The media(not all of them) tell a far differ-ent story than what the actualfacts in a case might be. It isour duty as citizens not only tofilter what we see and hearagainst a background of logic,but it is our duty to call themon it when they are wrong orare trying to create an impres-sion that is incorrect. It is our right to know,but we need to have the cor-rect information. Demand thetruth, don't let them get awaywith the stories.RM

Senator Doug Whitsett

Senator Whitsett Newsletterthese derangedkillers havesought out gun-ff-free zones fortheir carnage.The historyspeaks for itself.Moreover, everydespotic regimein modern historywas initiated byfirst disarming itspeople. The com-mon pretext is tocreate a safer so-ciety. Once thepeople have suc-cumbed to theruse, they arehelpless to de-fend their free-dom. Nevertheless,

in the aftermath of the reli-giously motivated terrorist at-tack in Orlando, pundits andpoliticians are once again at-tempting to convince our citi-zens thatthey mustdisarm inorder to besafe fromsuch at-tacks. Weshouldnever forgetthe folks inthat night-club weretotally vul-nerable onlybecausethey allowedthemselvesto be disarmed. The American Lexi-cographer Noah Webster ob-served: "There are men in allages who mean to govern well,but they mean to govern. Theypromise to be good masters,but they mean to be masters.” Also, the Britishstatesman Edmund Burkewrote "The people never giveup their liberties, but undersome delusion."

So too, Ben Franklinreflected: "They that give upessential liberty, to obtain alittle temporary safety, de-serve neither liberty nor safe-ty." Those statements re-main as true today as theywere when made during the1780s. No citizen can ever befree without the means to de-fend themselves and theirfamilies. To give up thatmeans of defense against theaggressive acts of others, or ofgovernment tyrants, under anypretense, represents an openinvitation to subjugation andtyranny. Unfortunately, toomany among our state andnational political leaders meanto be our masters. From theirvotes and statements yester-day, our president, our gover-nor and both of Oregon’s U.S.Senators appear to believethat in order to be safe from

terrorism, wemust give upcertain of ourrights to de-fend our-selvesagainst ex-tremists andreligious fa-natics. Theydo not appearto compre-hend that dis-arming thevulnerableonly makes itsafer for ter-

rorists. Our response to anyeffort to disarm us todayshould be no different than theanswers of our nation’s found-ers.Never!

Please remember--if we donot stand up for rural Oregon,no one will.

According to our con-stitutions, each American citi-zen possesses theunconditional, guaranteed rightto own, keep and bear firearms. The Second Amend-ment to the Unites States Con-stitution reads: “Awell-regulated militia, beingnecessary to the security ofa free state, the right of thepeople to keep and bear arms,shall not be infringed.” “Shall not be infringed”has clear meaning. It means nogovernment shall encroachupon, interfere with, violate,disobey or disregarded theconstitutionally guaranteedright of a citizen to own andbear firearms. Article I, Section 27 ofthe Oregon Constitution is evenmore specific:  “The peopleshall have the right to beararms for the defense of them-selves, and the State…..”Both of these declarations, ofour constitutional rights, are ex-plicit and unambiguous.  Theyare also prescient. Virtually every massshooting in the United States,during the past 25 years, hasoccurred in a gun-free zone.Whether in a school, a govern-ment building, a military baseor a night club, those areaswere each gun free, becausepoliticians passed laws infring-ing on their constituents’ consti-tutional right to carry a firearmto defend themselves in thosezones. When confronted withdetermined killers possessingfirearms, those laws have con-sistently resulted in killingzones rather than safe zones.No one can rationally deny that

So too, BenFranklin reflected:"They that give upessential liberty, toobtain a little tem-porary safety, de-serve neitherliberty nor safety."

Fireworks season June 23 opens the season for fireworks sales in Ore-gon. Legal fireworks may be purchased only from Oregon per-mitted fireworks retailers and stands. The Office of State FireMarshal has issued more than 709 retail fireworks permits,and 211 display permits. Oregon law forbids possession, use,or sale of fireworks that fly, explode, or travel more than sixfeet on the ground or 12 inches in the air. Bottle rockets,Roman candles, and firecrackers are ILLEGAL in Oregon. All fireworks are prohibited on all Oregon beaches, inparks, and campgrounds. Illegal fireworks can be expensive. Under Oregon law,illegal fireworks may be confiscated and offenders fined up to$500 per violation for possession of illegal fireworks and en-dangering life and property. Offenders may also be arrested.Any fireworks causing damage, or misuse of fireworks carriesa liability for the offender, who may be required to pay for re-sulting fire or other damage. Parents are liable for fireworks-caused damage by their children. Costs may include assessedfines as well as the cost of suppressing fireworks-caused fires.

Draft UR flood mapDraft flood map revisions inthe Upper Rogue Watershedand what they mean for prop-erty owners will be discussedduring a July 13 open house inShady Cove.The Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency has issuedpreliminary maps showing re-visions to the 100-year flood-plain, which has a1-percent-annual-chance offlooding in any year.The revised flood insurancerate maps cover propertiesalong the Rogue River, LittleButte Creek, and otherstreams in the Upper RogueWatershed.

Despite having a leadin both games, North Jacksonended up dropping both endsof a doubleheader, 3-2 and11-6 in Roseburg on Wednes-day afternoon.

Dominick Fontana,who just completed his fresh-man year at Eagle Point, tooka four-hitter into the bottom ofthe seventh with the Royalsleading 2-1. But three walksloaded the bases (the last in-tentionally) and head coachJosh Leedy went to the bull-pen for lefty Lydon Spradley.The ground ball specialist, al-lowed the tying run on a softlyhit grounder to tie the score.Then with two outs, anotherground ball found a hole upthe middle for the game win-ner.

“(He) just locateddown in the zone, used theumpire’s zone, adjusted tohim, he was calling lowstrikes,” Leedy said of hisright-hander. “He located

there, and was very, very ef-fective. Just got a little tired Ithink.”

“If he’s earned it, andhis pitch count is where it was(around 80), you wanna say‘here let’s see what you cando here. See how gritty youcan be.’ We just wanted toreward the kid for pitching sowell.”Fontana ended up allowingthree runs (two earned) withsix strikeouts over 6 1/3 in-nings.

The Royals had a 5-3lead in the second game, onlyto have the bullpen give upeight runs over the last threeinnings.

Trae Perkins contin-ued his hot hitting with threehits in the twin bill, including apair of doubles.

“Even his outs areloud right now, which is reallyimpressive…Line drives upthe middle…Having him stepup the way he does, it’s niceto watch him have fun. He’sjust really embracing seeing

the beach ball at the plateright now.”

Perkins continues tolead the team with a .486 av-erage, 15 RBI’S, and 13 runsscored.

Catcher Charles Littlecontinues to see a resurgenceat the plate, adding three hitsin seven at-bats, raising hisseason average to .270. Histwo out single in the fourthinning of game one broke a1-all tie, a lead the Royalsheld until the seventh.

Shortstop JacobNielsen seems to have founda home batting second in thelineup. He notched two hits inthe opener, while reachingbase three times, scoringthree runs in the nightcap.

The shorthandedRoyals, who continue to loseplayers to summer camps ofother sports, hope to havecloser to a full allotment thisweek for four league gamesagainst Ashland and KlamathUnion.

By Dennis EllingsonThe Power of Seeds – June2016I can remember when I be-came fascinated in the tinyseeds. I was a child and hadreceived a handmade cardfrom my Sunday Schoolteacher. She had shared afavorite verse by Jesus as Hetalked about the MustardSeed and the power of whatone good seed, planted ingood soil could do. Literally, ifyou think about it, a fully nur-tured seed could eventuallyfeed the whole earth.This year I have been growinga number of herbs for just theseed such as Cumin, Dill,Fennel etc. Each seed tendsto be power packed with flavoradding much to any entrée.Then there are the medicinalbenefits from each seed. Forinstance Dill Seed used to becalled “Dull Seed”, this had todo with the action the seedwould have on a colicky baby.Moms would give the child theseeds and it would calm ordull the symptoms. Similar forFennel seeds, knowing cookswill put Fennel Seeds in anycabbage dish because theyknow that the tiny seeds willcounteract the bloating feelingone might get from a big plateof sauerkraut.So here are a few seeds toconsider growing and usingfor culinary and medicinal pur-poses.Anise Seeds: These have abit of a licorice flavor and are

often used in breads and pas-tries. Anise seeds also act asover all digestive aid. If youare into fishing, then anise oilis often used as an attractantto fish – you might just limit out!Celery Seeds: All of celerycontains naturally occurringsalt, so if too much salt is aconcern then shaking celeryseeds instead of the salt shak-er might be a better idea. Cel-ery is also considered diureticand it might help with keepinga good reading on your bloodpressure.Coriander Seeds: These areconsidered the spice of theCilantro plant. The groundseeds are highly flavored andused in many ethnic dishesand often a favorite with yourlocal Mexican restaurant.Herbalists have used crushedseeds, mixed into a paste, tobe applied for relief to painfuljoints.Chia Seeds: Turns out thatthere might be a better use forChia then growing Chiaheads, a perennial Christmastoy favorite. This plant is partof the huge Sage/Mint familyof plants. Chia seeds are fullOmega 3 fatty acids.Flax Seeds: I love the Blueand Red Flax flowers in thegarden. But these flowersthen produce many seeds.Flax has long been used forcolon and stomach health be-cause it is high in Alpha-linole-ic acid.Mustard Seeds: Back in yourgrandparents or great-grand-

parents day, Granny grewmustard greens. These wouldbe steamed like such greensas spinach. In Asian cuisine,mustard greens are used. Andthere is a new interest ingrowing mustard. I love thestuff so I always have somegrowing. In the spring aroundSouthern Oregon, Wild Mus-tard grows just about every-where. But most of us knowmustard from that yellow sub-stance put on the hotdogs.The many and pungent seedsare ground and combined withvinegar and other substancesto get that mustard. Back inthe day, if Grandpa or one ofthe kids came down with aterrible cold or flu, Grannywould carefully make up amustard plaster to place onthe chest. It would quickly re-lieve those stuffy, congestedsymptoms.Want to know more about theseeds? Check out my booksGod’s Healing Herbs andGod’s Wild Herbs. I will tellyou how to grow them, whereto find the wild ones and whatto do with them.Dennis Ellingson is a retiredpastor and counselor. He isthe author of six books in cur-rent publication.

The Lazy Days of SummerBy Lynn LeisslerFor the Independent

Roll out those lazy,hazy, crazy days of summer—so goes a song of the 60s,written for teens on schoolbreak. Mom, meanwhile, la-bored to keep up their laundryand supply the pretzels andpop. (Yes, the song refers toan adult beverage.)

When my kids werelittle, I had more time, or so itseems. Many activities weresuspended for the summer,and although the kids createdmore work with their pres-ence, they also pitched in bymaternal directive. No chil-dren run through my housethese days, so why is summerbusier? Well, there are wed-dings to attend, trips to take,and, though I’m loathe toadmit it, I don’t have the ener-gy I had in my 30s. And mychildren have children, takingup the generational slack.

In spite of a busyschedule, I decided to set afew goals this year. In thereading realm, I’ll tackle clas-sic literature. Last year I read“Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Thisyear I’m considering “MobyDick,” a book few tout as theirfavorite-ever, but one thatwell-read individuals mightwant to add to their readingbucket list.

Next, a project for myyard—vines along a side

fence. I’ll chose a gentle vari-ety, though not wisteria, as itwill commandeer a garden. Ionce saw a wisteria vine twist4x4 timbers by its massiveweight.

Indoors, I want to fin-ish a quilt I started in 2001.Then, a quilt for a great nicewho just had a baby. (Yikes!That makes me a great greataunt! Sounds like I should behobbling around with a walk-er!)

That’s my plan, andI’m putting out a challenge foryou to take on a project or two.Choose an unfinished projectthat’s been hanging aroundforever, or something you’veintended to do for eons. Un-less you’re a rare or endan-gered species, we all haveideas or starts in our brainsand homes. Those one-oftthese-days items on our men-tal to-do lists. Why not thisyear?!

The sense of accom-plishment is worth the effort.For me, the vines will cover ablah fence and offer a morepleasant view, as well as de-flect some heat reflection.When the quilt is on the guestbed, I’ll smile each time I walkby. As to reading my chosenclassic, I’ll be able to toss outat some gathering, “Oh yeah,I read ‘Moby Dick.’”

So enjoy summer,with a good balance of accom-plishment and lazy.

Let’s do lunch

Photo by Ralph McKechnieBy Ralph McKechnieOf the Independent One of the most diffi-cult things to "give up" whenyou decide to change to a morehealthy diet is cheese. In adiscussion the other day, Bevand I decided it was becauseall the dishes I had liked weremade with cheese in one formor another. Those cheesesrange from the ever popularCheddar to the mozzarella tothe dry cheeses like parmesan.There are other stops along theway, but those are the mainones because of the manydishes we create with them. I have never been onefor the famous cheeseburger,but have long appreciated agrilled cheese sandwich andhave savored those cheesesused on pizza. I've neverturned down the parmesancheese on spaghetti and manysoups are greatly improved bythe addition of the dry cheeses. One of the majorhang-ups most seem to havewhen changing to a differentstyle of eating is the change orelimination of cheeses. Itseems to have a grip on us likesome form of drug, the pull isso strong. Many people havean easier time of giving upsmoking than they do giving upcheese. A change in diet isn'teasy, but one of the things Ihave noticed is that I now likecertain foods that I would nevertouch in the past. But thecheese dilemma lingers. Untilrecently, that is. Today we'regoing to look at one of thecheese types I mentioned Parmesan cheese isone of the hard cheeses madefor grating and if you want toget really technical, comesfrom a specific region in Italy.But it is probably less importantto know of the origins of thischeese than to know that it is awonderful companion to manydishes. The only problem withit is that it is made from cow'smilk, and that means trouble formany people, including myself. The good news in allthis is that there is an alterna-

tive that is just as tasty andcontains no milk or milk prod-ucts. One of the drawbacks isthat you will have to make it foryourself, but it is not what youmight call labor-intensive. Mat-ter of fact, it is just about one ofthe easiest things you canmake. While there are severalrecipes, all very similar, mostcontain virtually the same in-gredients. There are small dif-ferences in the amounts ofingredients, but it hardly affectsthe taste--the reason we eat itin the first place. Here is a very basicand simple recipe: 1/4 cup al-monds (or cashews), 1 table-spoon nutritional yeast, 1/2teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 tea-spoon garlic powder, 1/2 tea-spoon onion powder. Place allingredients in the blender orfood processor and pulse it afew times until it resembles finebreadcrumbs and you aredone. Care should be takennot to over work the nuts in theblender or you will end up withnut butter, which isn't so bad,but is not what we want here. I didn't do a side-by-side taste test, but did sampleit right after it was finished andit is excellent. Later in the eve-ning, I used the parmesan onpizza and it was really greatthat way. The only thing I mightchange is to add a little moregarlic to give it slightly morezing. A friend makes dozensof cheeses from foods I wouldnever have imagined and shehas convinced me to try someof the slicing cheeses. Hope-fully we will be able to featuresome of those in the near fu-ture. This recipe is dedicat-ed to the Eagle Point Chamberof Commerce who are savingthe July 4 celebration in EaglePoint. It is a tradition thatshould not go away. Thanks toall you members who havehelped make this happen. As always, eat well,live well, live long and pain-free. And most of all live withpassion!

Rogue River Trout fishing

Summer flea season is here Summer  has officiallyarrived and the Oregon De-partment of Agriculture isoffering  advice to pet ownerswho can take several stepsthemselves in providing  relieffrom fleas. An arrayof  pesticide products on themarket  are among the toolsthat can be used to effectivelycontrol fleas, but  they comewith the usual caution of need-ing to be handled properly. If occasional high tem-peratures this spring are anyindication, summer mightbe  blazing hot, which often

exacerbates the skin irritationof pets that comes  with fleabites. If that happens, petowners will need to be ready

for action.  The first order ofbusiness is to verify the issue.

This week we’ll meeta critter that truly is “crawly”!Meet the Pacific SidebandSnail (Monadenia fidelis), asnail of a different color forsure. Most of us are familiarwith the Brown Garden Snail,which is an invasive speciesoriginating in England. Thepretty Pacific sideband, how-ever is a native species. Prob-ably why its camouflage soperfectly matches the deepreds and browns in our for-ests.

During summermonths sidebands are gener-ally found close to creeks andrivers, blending into the leaflitter and munching on fungiand other plants. They aremore often found out of habit-

ed areas, our yards are usual-ly inhabited by the GardenSnail.

Sidebands are prettybig snails. An adult’s shell isjust under 1 and ¼” in diame-ter. Snails move slow andgrow slow; it takes them twoyears to reach full size andthey can live up to six years.

Loss and fragmenta-tion of habitat has reduced thenumber of sidebands. Luckilythey are not yet a ThreatenedSpecies in the US, but BritishColumbia, Canada has side-bands on its Concerned List.

Here in the UpperRogue, look for sidebandswhen you’re out enjoying ourPublic Lands. The picturedsnail was moseying alongsideElk Creek.

Racing at the speedwayBy Don Martin IIFor the IndependentTwo Nights Of Racing AtSouthern Oregon Speedway As the weather heatsup and signals the beginningof summer, the racing will beheating up at Southern Ore-gon Speedway as well.  Therewill be two nights of racing thisweek, and it starts on Fridaynight with another night of Out-law Kart racing on the fastone-eighth mile dirt oval.  OnSaturday, it will be six divisionsof racing on the big track. The Kart track is cre-ating our next generation ofstars, and Tanner Holmes wasthe star who shined the bright-est last time out.  The reigning250 Kart champ won that divi-sion's Main Event and thenmade his first start in the 500Karts a winning performance.The skill in which he handledhis Karts would suggest thatthis young man could be afuture Sprint Car star in themaking. Another youngster bythe name of Trevor Grimes gothis Box Stock title defensestarted off right with an impres-sive feature win of his own.The Box Stock division is aclass filled with some talentedgirls in the field, including 2014champion Carley Holmes, Nat-alie Richard and Emma Rod-gers.  Isabella Jaime alsoimpressed with her heat racevictory on opening night. A field of about threedozen Karts is anticipated Fri-day night, which will include

the youngsters of the Begin-ners Box Stocks.  These arethe kids ages 5-8 who are justgetting started.  The show willget started at 7:00 p.m.  Gateswill open 5:00 with a generaladmission of $10.  Children sixand under are $5. On Saturday night,the three-tenths mile clay ovalwill play host to a six divisionprogram that will include Pen-nzoil Winged Sprint Cars,IMCA Sport Modifieds, MiniStocks, OTRO Hardtops,Super 4's and Hornets.  TheHornets were added to theprogram this week in part be-cause of the light schedulethey have.  Also, the six carfield produced last time wasthe highest car count in thethree seasons the class hasbeen running. Promoter Mike McCa-nn has sent as message to theracers that the four cylinder

divisions are just as importantto the track as the other class-es, and the Hornets play avital role in the growth of theprogram.  They bring new rac-ers to the speedway with anaffordable set of rules.  Lastweek, Heather Menzel andJoby Shields made their firststarts of the year, and Shieldswon the Main Event. Tim Hedges won aheat race a week earlier.  HisMain Event didn't go so well."I went the wrong way on tirepressure, " Tim explained.  "Iadded when I should havesubtracted.  That made a bigdifference." There aren't too manysetup secrets in the Hornetclass, but tire pressure doeshave an impact on the speedand handling of these cars.Hedges won the Trophy Dash

Proposed Medicare ChangesSacrifice Cancer Patients forCost Savings By Eric Hargis Officials at the Cen-ters for Medicare and Medic-aid Innovation (CMMI)recently proposed a majorchange to the way Medicarepays for advanced cancermedicines. Unfortunately, thechanges threaten cancer pa-tients' access to lifesavingcare. Many people are fa-miliar with Medicare Part D,which covers prescriptiondrugs that beneficiaries pur-chase at pharmacies. Part B,however, is less well known. Itcovers drugs for illnessessuch as cancer, rheumatoidarthritis, and immune diseas-es that are administered atclinics or outpatient hospitals. CMMI believes doc-tors prescribe expensivedrugs, rather than clinicallyappropriate drugs, becauseunder Part B doctors receivea percentage of the drug'sprice to cover the cost of ad-ministering it. While there isno evidence doctors prescribethe wrong drug so they makemore money, CMMI neverthe-less proposes to "fix" this sup-posed problem by alteringphysicians' reimbursements. Doctors who adminis-ter a drug under Part B weretraditionally reimbursed theaverage sales price of themedicine plus 6 percent. Fol-lowing budget cuts in 2013,Medicare officials reducedthat rate to about 4.3 percent.

Now, they're proposing to cutit to 2.5 percent, but add a flatfee of around $17 each timedoctors administer a medi-cine. CMMI ignores the im-pact this change will have onpatients. Smaller communitypractices and those in ruralcommunities will drop patientsthat lack supplemental insur-ance or send them to majorhospitals for treatment; thisoccurred in 2013 with the "se-questration" budget cuts. CM-MI's latest cuts will force moreproviders to turn away pa-tients. And if making patientspotentially drive hundreds ofmiles each week for chemo-therapy wasn't enough, CMMIproposes to test a host of "val-ue-based care models." Forexample, in one model offi-cials would compare a drug'saverage life expectancy gainsto its cost. If the drug doesn'tmeet an arbitrary dollars-toddays ratio, it's considered abad bargain for the Medicare. Some countries, likeBritain, already use costeffec-tiveness metrics to restrictdoctors' ability to prescribeadvanced drugs. Unsurpris-ingly, cancer survival ratesare lower in those nationsthan in countries that don'tinterfere in doctor-patienttreatment decisions. That begs the ques-tion: who receives the "value"from these models? Is it pa-tients, who potentially lose ac-cess to the most innovative,

life-saving treatments? Or is itMedicare, which saves moneyby denying payments fortreatments the governmentdecides aren't "cost-effective." The health of tens ofmillions of Americans hangsin the balance. Men have afifty-fifty chance of developingcancer in their lifetimes; forwomen it is one in three.Given that cancer dispropor-tionately impacts older adults,it is likely that if a person de-velops cancer, he'll rely onMedicare Part B to covertreatment costs. Americans must askthemselves: when they ortheir loved ones develop can-cer, do they want to receivethe treatment their doctorssay will provide the bestchance of survival and qualityof life? Or do they want toreceive only the medicinesthat government officialsdeem cost-effective? Patient health is notsomething to be toyed with.It's time for the governmentofficials who tinker with reim-bursement formulas to realizethat their fiddling has conse-quences for real people.

“Make sure  your pethas a flea problem,” saysRose Kachadoorian, entomol-ogist with the Oregon Depart-ment of Agriculture’sPesticides Program. “Theymay be  scratching them-selves, but it could be afood  allergy or pollen. Workwith  your veterinarian to es-tablish whether the problem iscaused by fleas.” If the  answer is yes,pet owners can improve theconditions that lead to flea in-festations. Prevention tacticsare usually best started inthe  spring. However, there isstill plenty that pet owners cando now.  A  thorough cleaningand vacuuming of the house–especially where pets  sleep–is a good start. “I would  vacuum myhouse at least every otherday, if not every day, tosuck up fleas and their eggs,”says Kachadoorian. “Alsowash the pet’s bedding once aweek with hot, soapy water.” The most  fastidiouscleaning job in the world mightnot be enough if your  pet al-ready has fleas. Persistencein cleaning and early treat-ment is the key. There are a number ofadult flea control productsavailable on themarket, including spot-on topi-cal products that are usuallyapplied monthly. Some of the

spot-on products also containgrowth regulatorsthat inhibit the development ofimmature flea life stages. Petscan also be given tablets oral-ly containing these insectgrowth regulators. Flea collarsand  ultrasonic devices havehad limited success,according  to  Kachadoorian.Again, a conversation withyour veterinarian isan important step to take. “Most of  these prod-ucts usually work very well,”says Kachadoorian. “They areso  much more effective thanthe old days of putting a dustor spray on the animal or giv-ing them a flea bath.” Remember–  most ofthese products are consideredto be pesticides. Care andcaution is  required to usethese flea control products be-cause, if used incorrectly,the pet could have a bad reac-tion. “You need to read thatpesticide label very carefullyand make sure you apply theproduct properly as instructedby the label,” says Kachadoo-rian. “The  label instructionsare not part of some marketinggimmick,  but are thereto protect animals and ensurethat fleas are safely killed.” For example,  a prod-uct’s label may say that it is tobe used only on dogs. Someactive  ingredients in products

are not toxic to dogs but maybe lethal to cats; an examplewould be permethrin. Product  labels alsoprovide instructions on the ap-propriate age and weight ofthe animal being treated. “There have been in-stances of people trying tosave money by purchasinga  product meant for a GreatDane– a large animal– andthen splitting that  product upto treat smaller animals,” saysKachadoorian.  “Often,the dosage isn’t right and petscan develop medical prob-lems or worse.” Use  fleacombs to pick up fleas, fleaeggs, and ticks on puppiesand kittens that are too youngfor flea and tick products.Younger animals and smallerbreeds  can be particularlysensitive to insecticides.

If your pet experienc-es a bad reaction from a spot-on product, immediatelybathe  the pet with mild soap,rinse with large amounts ofwater, and callyour veterinarian. Ask your vetto report the reactionthrough the National PesticideInformation Center’s Veteri-nary Pesticide Incident Re-porting Portal  at<http://npic.orst.edu>, or callNPIC at 1-800-858-7378.

Butte Falls passes city budget 2016-17By Ralph McKechnieOf the Independent With only moderate dis-cussion, the City of Butte Fallspassed their budget for 2016-17.As noted during the meeting, fundswere transferred between accountsto balance the columns. Depart-ment reports showed that every-thing is functioning as usual. During the meeting, sev-eral resolutions were passed, someto clean up language and some toupdate older ordinances. There was discussion ofsome nuisance items, such as gar-bage collection--rather lack of col-lection, and the odors thatnecessarily eminate from suchitems. One item discussed was arequirement to force residents touse garbage collection servicesrather than allowing accumulationof items. There seemed to be aquestion whether the city councilhad the right to force the issue. Unlike Shady Cove, thecouncil agreed to make Butte Fallsa part of the heritage district, there-by allowing residents the right tovote on the county-wide ballot.Allowing the residents to vote also

allows them the right to participateshould the county-wide ballot turnout in the affirmative. The council also passedresolutions to increase water userfees and also increase sewer fees.Along with those rate changes arechanges in usage amounts. Public works reported asteady flow from the city's water

source, with only minor fluctuationsdue to recent rains. The final item on theagenda was the naming of the rail-road and they settled on the ButteFalls Historic Railway. The mayoralso reported on a search for apolice officer. She noted that thereare many agencies that are havingdifficulty filling uniforms through outthe valley,

“His” slogan “America First”originated in the 1930’s ---with US supporters of AdolfHitler. Trump’s current use re-veals either gross historicalignorance or a telling indiffer-ence to connection to fascism.  In the wake of the attack inOrlando, Trump continues hisbombastic self-promotion, fur-ther demonstrating his pro-found unfitness for thePresidency. It’s all about him,not our country’s welfare.Timothy Egan, (NYT,6/17/16), summed up the mis-match: “In this time of trial andtragedy, Trump has showedhow he would govern --- byfear, by intimidation, by theturning of American againstAmerican, by exhibiting all theempathy of a sociopath.”  (198words) Robert John ScheelenMedford, OR 97504
