“Mom made quilts for all
of us kids at one point in her
life,” Miller said.
Most were made by an aunt.

effective,” Deschutes County
Communicable Disease
Program Supervisor Heather
Kaisner says, the best plan is
prevention. “People should
avoid contact with bats and
vaccinate dogs and cats
against rabies. While bats
play a valuable role in nature,
contact with humans should
be avoided.”
Sick bats may be seen
flopping around on the
ground or otherwise acting
unusual. If you find a sick
bat or other sick wildlife on
your property, take children
and pets indoors and call
the ODFW at 541-947-2950
and call the Communicable
Disease Reporting Line at
541-322-7418.
To protect your pet, make
sure rabies vaccinations are
up to date. Emilio DeBess,

With the Quilt Show
celebrating its 40th year in
Sisters, it seemed appropri-
ate to break out the heirloom
quilts.
“Jean Wells (founder of
the quilt show) actually told
the gals to give me a call and
see if I still had them,” Miller
said. “I’ve had ’em at home
in a cedar chest for years.”

veterinarian, advises that
dogs, cats, and ferrets be vac-
cinated against rabies at three
to six months of age. Initial
vaccination takes about two
weeks to provide peak pro-
tection for your pet. After ini-
tial vaccination, a booster is
required in one year and then
every three years after that.
Under Oregon law, dogs,
cats, and ferrets that do not
have current vaccinations and
are suspected of exposure to
rabies must be euthanized or
placed under strict quarantine
for six months.
According to the Oregon
Health Authority, bats are
the most common carriers
of rabies in this state. So far
this year three other bats have
tested positive (in Benton,
Josephine, and Washington
Counties). The last bat posi-
tive for rabies in Deschutes
County was in October of
2014. Authorities emphasize
that the main protection for
humans is to make sure pets
are vaccinated and avoid con-
tact with stray animals and
wildlife.
