for a $50 prize should submit an application to senior
center staff by Monday, July 17. Competing for $50
each, the age groups are 5-17, 18-59 and 60-plus.

is $5. Kids under 12 are $3. Kids under 4 are free.

Tick-caused Lyme
disease up in Oregon
ZACH URNESS
STATESMAN JOURNAL
On the East Coast and
Midwest, public health of-
ficials are bracing for
what they’re calling the
“worst season ever for
tick borne diseases.”
Lyme disease, a debili-
tating infection carried
by deer ticks, is expected
to reach an all-time high
this summer in parts of
the country, according to
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The same concern
hasn’t been raised in Ore-
gon. A normal winter and
spring means tick popula-
tions aren’t expected to
skyrocket, officials said.
The number of Lyme
disease cases has grown
in Oregon — doubling to
almost 40 to 50 cases per
year from 2008 to 2015 —
but it still remains far be-
low the national average.
Still, the disease is
making inroads in Oregon
and could expand in the
future.
“There has been an ex-
pansion of deer ticks
throughout the United
States, and into Oregon,”
said Emilio DeBess, state
public health veterinari-
an. “We’re seeing deer
ticks places we’d never
seen them before.”
The difference in Ore-
gon, DeBess said, is that a
lower number of West
Coast deer ticks are in-
fected with the bacteria
that causes Lyme disease.
“On the East Coast, up
to 60 percent of deer ticks
test positive for Lyme dis-
ease,” he said. “In Oregon,
it’s closer to 3 to 4 per-
cent.”
The heaviest concen-
tration of deer ticks in
Oregon is west of the cas-
cades and along Columbia
River at elevations below
1,200 feet, DeBess said, in-
cluding the Hood River
area.
While cases of Lyme
disease are low in Oregon
compared to the nation-
wide average, the disease
remains life-altering and
hard to detect.
Initial symptoms of
Lyme disease can include
fever, headache, fatigue
and a skin rash, according
to the CDC. If left untreat-
ed by antibiotics, the ail-
ment can spread to joints,
the heart, and nervous
system.
Often, ticks transmit-
ting the disease are less
than 2 millimeters in size
and don’t form the typi-
cally telltale bullseye
rash.
DeBess said preven-
tion was the key to pre-
venting Lyme disease.
Here’s suggestions on
avoiding ticks.
Tick protection
Avoid Direct Contact
with Ticks
Avoid wooded and
brushy areas with high
grass and leaf litter.
Walk in the center of
trails.
Repel Ticks on Skin
and Clothing
Use repellent that con-
tains 20 percent or more
DEET,
picaridin,
or
IR3535 on exposed skin
for protection that lasts
several hours.
Always follow product
instructions.
Parents
should apply this product
to their children, avoiding
hands, eyes, and mouth.
Use products that con-
tain permethrin on cloth-
ing. Treat clothing and
gear, such as boots, pants,
socks and tents with prod-
ucts containing 0.5% per-
methrin. It remains pro-
tective through several
washings.
Pre-treated
clothing is available and
may be protective longer.
The
Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
has an online tool to help
you select the repellent
that is best for you and
your family.
Find and Remove
Ticks from Your Body
Bathe or shower as
soon as possible after
coming indoors (prefer-
ably within two hours) to
wash off and more easily
find ticks that are craw-
ling on you.
Conduct a full-body
tick check using a hand-
held or full-length mirror
to view all parts of your
body upon return from
tick-infested areas. Par-
ents should check their
children for ticks under
the arms, in and around
the ears, inside the belly
button, behind the knees,
between the legs, around
the waist, and especially
in their hair.
Examine gear and pets.
Ticks can ride into the
home on clothing and
pets, then attach to a per-
son later, so carefully ex-
amine pets, coats, and day
packs.
Tumble dry clothes in a
dryer on high heat for 10
minutes to kill ticks on
dry clothing after you
come indoors.
If the clothes are
damp, additional time
may be needed.
If the clothes require
washing first, hot water is
recommended. Cold and
medium temperature wa-
ter will not kill ticks effec-
tively. If the clothes can-
not be washed in hot wa-
ter, tumble dry on low
heat for 90 minutes or
high heat for 60 minutes.
The clothes should be
warm and completely dry.

Life in Oregon got a lit-
tle more expensive in the
wake of the 2017 Legisla-
ture.
Before banging their
gavels and going home
Friday, lawmakers adopt-
ed, or increased, taxes,
fines and fees on bicycles,
marriage, divorce and
definitely the shiny new
car that caught your eye.
While the big, contro-
versial bills like abortion
and extending health
benefits to undocumented
children caused all the
fireworks between Feb-
ruary and July, the little
boosts in fines, fees and
taxes may be the biggest
bite that Oregonians feel.
This is not to say that
the
Democratic-con-
trolled Legislature was
any more greedy than its
predecessors. All Legisla-
tures work the tiny levers
that bring in gallons of
cash by means of a drip,
drip, drip at the cash reg-
ister.
Consider how much
Oregon legislatures love
so-called sin taxes on
wine, cider, microbrews,
cigarettes and, most re-
cently, e-cigarettes. The
state takes a sip of every
pint you quaff.
This session, the Legis-
lature’s biggest push in
that direction was making
it easier for brewers and
vintners to pay up
through a new, online por-
tal.
Like to be out on the
open road, feeling the
wind in your hair?
Well, the Legislature’s
all-new
transportation
packages has some taxes
for you, too:
Buying a new car?
Your dealer likely will
pass on a 0.5 percent ex-
cise tax on the retail val-
ue. That’s $157 on the av-
erage new-car price of
$31,400.
And registering that
car also will cost more,
too. The basic fee will in-
crease from $43 to $56 per
year. Beginning in 2020,
an additional amount will
be imposed, with higher
fuel economy vehicles
paying more – as much as
$110 more for electric ve-
hicles.
Gas taxes are going up,
too, by 4 cents next year
and another 2 cents every
other year through 2024.
And don’t think you can
escape by using your own
muscle and sweat to scoot
down the road . Oregon
will impose the nation’s
first bicycle tax – a flat $15
fee on grow up bicycles
that cost $200 or more.
As for mass transit im-
provements, most every-
one
will
contribute
through a 0.1 percent pay-
roll tax. It will cost a work-
er with a $50,000 annual
salary about $50 per year.
What will you get for
all that?
If you’re buying an
electric vehicle, you’re in
luck. Part of the payroll
tax will subsidize rebates
of up to $2,500 for electric
and other zero-emissions
vehicles.
Your commute could
go faster as a result of
congestion-relieving pro-
jects in the Portland area
and around the state.
More money for mainte-
nance will mean fewer
potholes. In Salem, the
Center Street Bridge will
get a major seismic up-
grade lest your fear the
Big One -- a Cascadia sub-
duction zone earthquake.
Being in and out of
love gets costly
To the Oregon Legisla-
ture, even relationships
are a taxing matter.
If you want to get mar-
ried on the cheap at a
county courthouse, it’ll
cost you an additional $5
for a total of $110, thanks
to the 2017 Legislature.
Breaking up is hard to
do, but now it’s even more

Afroso to perform at
East Valley libraries
ANNETTE UTZ
SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL TRIBUNE
Looking to put a differ-
ent beat into your summer
step?
Performer Okaidja Af-
roso will present African
music, dance and stories
on Thursday, July 20,
from 4 to 4:45 p.m. at the
Stayton Public Library
and from 7 to 7:45 p.m. at
the Silver Falls Library in
Silverton.
Weaving the traditions
of his native Ghana into
his performance, Afroso
uses song, dance and
drumming to bring sto-
ries to life through music.
He was raised in a fam-
ily of musicians and story-
tellers in
the village
of Kokro-
bite on the
west coast
of Ghana.
He began
Afroso
his career
as a dancer with the Gha-
na Dance Ensemble and
grew to become a multi-
instrumentalist, singer-
songwriter and music ar-
ranger.
These are free events
and no registration is nec-
essary. All ages are wel-
come to take part.
For more information,
contact the Stayton Li-
brary at 503-769-3313 or

expensive. The Legisla-
ture added $14 to the cost
of filing for separation,
annulment or divorce.
The total cost is now $287.
To keep your pocket-
book safe, watch out what
you do behind the wheel.
The Legislature gave a $5
bump to speeding in a
highway
work
zone,
school zone and safety
corridor. Fines can be as
steep as $875 for the most
egregious violators.
Get caught texting or
talking or checking Face-
book while behind the
wheel more than once and
you’ll be liable for a whop-
ping $2,000 fine, up from
$500 in previous law.
And finally, even good
luck won’t help you es-
cape the state’s pinch-
.Place a bet at Portland
Meadows and odds are
that 1 percent will be
skimmed off to support
the Oregon Racing Com-
mission.
