P O RT L A N D
(AP)
— Providence Health &
Services in Oregon is notify-
ing about 5,400 current and
former patients that a former
employee may have improp-
erly accessed their patient
records.
Providence said in a state-
ment Friday that it learned
of the breech in May dur-
ing an internal audit and had
since fired the Portland-based
employee.
The audit found the
worker had accessed health
records between July 2012
and April 2016. It says the
worker viewed demographic
and medical treatment infor-
mation, and may also have
seen insurance information
and Social Security numbers.
The healthcare provider,
however, says it does not
believe the worker used or
disclosed the information
beyond seeing it.
Providence apologized for
the breech, says it’s taking
steps to make sure it doesn’t
happen again and is offering
those affected 24 months of
credit monitoring.
POSTER: Young artist
has many varied
interests

Nore obliged, incorporating a
hiker, horse, fish, coffee and
pastry, and a guitar plus other
local items.
“I researched the project
and immediately felt inspired,
both artistically and person-
ally. The nine tenets that C4C
and Speak Your Peace pro-
mote resonate deeply with my
own beliefs,” Nore said.
“The project of creation
proved challenging, yet as
rewarding as presenting the
final project!”
The Sisters poster is not
Nore’s first venture into that
design arena. She was chosen
the winner of the 2013 Bend
Winterfest Poster Art Contest
with her watercolor-and-ink
entry illustrating components
of the annual event. She was
also the Newberry National
Volcanic Monument poster
artist for 2016.
Her list of accolades
includes being a contest win-
ner of the 2010 Oregon Wild
Outdoor Photo contest, a
recording artist on a number
of CDs, logo designer, suc-
cessful entrepreneur with her
business narZart, and numer-
ous art shows.
Last November she was
the youth representative from
Caldera at an awards cer-
emony at the White House.
She received the award on
behalf of Caldera from First
Lady Michelle Obama. The
National Arts and Humanities
Youth Program Award is the
nation’s highest honor for
creative youth programs and
Caldera was one of 12 organi-
zations so honored.
“When I walked onto the
stage to accept the award, I
felt as though I was taking
every single person involved
with Caldera with me. I could
feel their support and happi-
ness in my heart. The moment
was life-changing. I am still
overwhelmed by the beauti-
ful, positive energy that was
flowing through that experi-
ence,” Nore said.
Nore’s home page on
her WIX.com site says that
creation is her meditative
practice.
“I aspire to help people
understand how they think,
to encourage free-artistry, and
intend to facilitate therapeutic
activity in my future as an art
therapist,” the site says.
Drawing is not her only
artistic pursuit.
“My artistic interests are
quite sporadic. Thus, thanks
to SHS’s arts program and
Caldera, I experiment with
every visual art form I can get
my hands on!” Alena said.
“While painting is my
favorite visual art medium by
far (I am enamored by water-
colors), I also enjoy sewing,
sculpting, knitting, collage-
making, mono-printing,
linoleum-stamp making, and
working digitally on my new
photo by sue staFFord
alena Nore with her poster for the Sisters civility project.
Surface Pro (which was my
Quest for Excellence Visual
Arts scholarship award).”
Alena is also a musician.
She was a three-year member
of the SHS Jazz Choir and the
High Desert Chorale during
her senior year.
She participated in the
SHS Americana Project,
which introduced her to the
guitar. She is now a singer-
songwriter and performer
as a result of her Americana
experience. Although she also
dabbles in piano and drums
and creates digital mixes, her
guitar is her go-to instrument.
Come fall, Alena will be
attending Grinnell College, a
private liberal arts college in
Grinnell, Iowa, known for its
rigorous academics and tradi-
tion of social responsibility.
“Words cannot fully
express how excited I am,”
Alena said when talking about
Grinnell.
“Ultimately, I intend to
attain certification in counsel-
ing and to practice arts ther-
apy,” she said of her plans for
the future.
Those plans also include
travel to Japan.
“I was the first to utilize
online self-study of Japanese
through Middlebury College
to meet SHS required lan-
guage credits,” Nore said.
