HERMISTON — Twenty-one students from Hermiston High School were inducted as new members of the National Honor Society in a ceremony held at the school June 1. Members were selected by the chapter’s faculty council for meeting high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Students inducted were: Sydney Adams, Amelia Boyd, Kaitlynd Ellis, Allison Galdamez, Alondra Garcia, Jessica Giordano, Canden Gutierrez, Morgan Hancock, Alexandra Varela Lepe, Anders Lind, Shikha Patel, Jessica Sandoval, Lauren Santoyo, Lesly Santoyo, Joshua Simpson, Nuel Smith, Adriann Stewart, Isel Tejeda Urenda, Ellen Vander Stelt, Zhipeng Wang and James Zwiefelhofer. “We are very proud to recognize these outstanding members of our student body. National Honor Society members are chosen for and then expected to continue their exemplary contributions to the school and community,” said Chris Demianew chapter adviser. Senior Sydney Moore was selected as the outstanding member for her dedication to the society and for her personal growth that she exhibited as a member. This past academic year, Sydney was directly responsible for organizing many service projects including: work with the Humane Society of Eastern Oregon, Hermiston Police Department’s Toy Express/ Canned Food Drive, and Highway 395 clean up. The Hermiston High School Chapter has been active since 1949. Each year the chapter sponsors several service projects for the school and community. This year NHS members logged well over 1,000 hours of volunteer time with organizations throughout the Hermiston community, including Hermiston Police Depart- ment’s Toy Express and Canned food Drive, Hermiston Education Foundation Annual Steak and Lobster Feed, and tutoring at the area elemen- tary schools and Hermiston High’s Saturday Success Program. The National Honor Society ranks as one of the oldest and most presti- gious national organizations for high school students. There are chapters in more than 16,000 high schools and, since 1921, millions of students have been selected for membership. Millions of dollars in scholarships have been awarded to senior members since 1945 by the sponsoring organi- zation, NASSP (National Association of Secondary School Principals). Autopsy report: Prince died of fentanyl overdose By MICHAEL TARM and AMY FORLITI Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Prince died of an overdose of fentanyl, a powerful opioid painkiller that is up to 50 times more potent than heroin, autopsy results released Thursday show. The indings conirm suspicions that opioids played a role in the death of the superstar musician, who was found dead April 21 at his Minneapolis-area estate. It was not immediately clear whether Prince had a prescription for the drug and, if not, how he obtained it. At least one friend has said he suffered from intense knee and hip pain from many years of stage performances. The results raised the possibility that anyone who provided the drug illegally could face criminal charges. Although the death was formally ruled an accident, that merely signiied that it was not intentional and in no way precludes prosecution. After Prince died, authorities began reviewing whether an overdose was to blame and whether he had been prescribed drugs in the preceding weeks. According to a one-page report released by the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Ofice, Prince administered the drug himself on an unknown date. The ofice said the death investigation is complete, and it had no further comment. Conirmation that Prince died of an opioid overdose was irst reported by The Associated Press. The autopsy report was released hours later. Fentanyl is a synthetic drug that has legitimate medical uses. It is also partly responsible for a recent surge in overdose deaths in some Photo by Matt Sayles/Invision/AP, File In this Nov. 22, 2015 ile photo, Prince presents the award for favorite album - soul/R&B at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles. A law-enforcement of- icial says that tests show the music superstar died of an opioid overdose. Prince was found dead at his home on April 21 in suburban Minneapolis. He was 57. parts of the country. Because of its risks, it is tightly controlled by the Food and Drug Administration, but much of it is manufactured illegally. Pain patients who have built up a tolerance to other prescription painkillers, or who have become addicted, sometimes seek out stronger drugs such as heroin or fentanyl. More than 700 fentanyl-re- lated overdoses were reported to the Drug Enforcement Administration in late 2013 and 2014. Prince, 57, died less than a week after his plane made an emergency stop in Moline, Illinois, for medical treatment as he was returning from an Atlanta concert. The Associated Press and other media reported, based on anonymous sources, that he was found unconscious on the plane, and irst responders gave him a shot of Narcan, an antidote used in suspected opioid overdoses. The autopsy was conducted the day after Prince’s body was found. When his body was exam- ined, he was 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighed 112 pounds and was dressed almost entirely in black. He had scars on his left hip and right lower leg. The report did not say whether those scars were evidence of any past surgery to relieve pain. The focus of the investiga- tion will now probably turn to determining who supplied the fentanyl and whether the sources were legitimate or illegal, said Gal Pissetzky, a Chicago-based attorney who has represented multiple clients facing drug charges. He has no link to Prince. Authorities may also look to the singer’s associates. “The investigation may expand to people who surround him,” Pissetzky said. “If fentanyl was obtained illegally, I don’t think Prince would have gone out to meet someone in a dark alley to get the substance.” If a street dealer was the source, identifying that person will not be easy. “It’ll be very, very difi- cult,” he said. “These guys don’t write receipts, and they change phones all the time.” Illegally distributing fentanyl to someone who then dies from it is punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years under federal law. Under Minnesota law, the same actions can result in third-degree murder charges and up to 25 years in prison. The names of at least two doctors have come up in the death investigation being conducted by the Carver County Sheriff’s Ofice, the U.S. Attorney’s Ofice in Minnesota and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Dr. Michael Todd Schulenberg, a family prac- titioner, treated Prince twice in the weeks before his death and told investigators he prescribed medications for the singer. The medications were not speciied in a search warrant for the Minnesota hospital that employed Schulenberg at the time. Schulenberg saw Prince April 7 and April 20 — the day before his death — according to the warrant. Schulenberg’s attorney has declined to comment on the case. Dr. Howard Kornfeld, a California addiction specialist, was asked by Prince’s representatives on April 20 to help the singer. Kornfeld sent his son Andrew on a redeye light that night, and Andrew Korn- feld was among the people who found Prince’s body the next morning, according to Kornfeld’s attorney, William Mauzy. The younger Kornfeld, who is not a doctor, was Destiny Theatres Fri - Wed, June 3 - June 8, 2016 Subject to change. Check times daily.

Mauzy has refused to iden- tify that doctor. Schulenberg is not authorized to prescribe buprenorphine. On Thursday, Mauzy said his clients never delivered, dispensed or administered any medication to Prince. The Kornfelds “were simply trying to help and remain saddened by Prince’s death,” he said.
