Christmas trees Continued from Page 1A sociation, said the nation’s market for trees is hardy, though drought in California and the Northeast has af- fected production there. She said people won’t have an issue finding trees this year. Oregon trees go around the continental U.S. and abroad, said Bryan Ostlund, executive director of the Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association. They can go overseas to Asia, for example. While supplies have tightened, Ostlund said, he wouldn’t call it a shortage. He attributes Oregon’s lead- ership in the nation to its ideal climate for the trees’ growth. “It’s what mother nature provides us here in the Northwest,” he said, later adding, “It’s just a perfect natural growing environment for these conifers.” Send questions, comments or news tips to jbach @statesmanjournal.com or 503-399-6714.

Landers said it’s taken a couple of weeks to confirm the local reports were indeed mumps, and not another viral infection masquerading as mumps. “Since there are other viral infections that can cause swelling of the salivary glands, we had to do special vi- ral isolation tests,” Landers said. It’s tough to pinpoint a reason behind the sudden boost in cases, but Landers did mention some people who choose not to vaccinate their children or them- selves as a contributing factor. Landers said any time there is a low level of vaccines in a population, which can be defined as not having both doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vac- cine or just one dose of the vaccine, the virus is bound to spread easily. Oregon law requires students who attend school to receive two doses of MMR, with the first dose starting as children enter kindergarten. The second vaccine should be received at least 28 days after the first dose is administered. As of 2015, 82 percent of 2-year-olds in Marion Coun- ty were up to date on their MMR vaccines. In Polk Coun- ty, roughly 77 percent of 2-year-olds were up to date on their MMR vaccines, according to the Oregon Health Authority. “The best way you can prevent mumps is to get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine,” Land- ers said.
