Hermiston librarian to take Appalachian trip Hopes to create specific geography lesson plans By JAYATI RAMAKRISHNAN East Oregonian Hermiston High School doesn’t have a dedicated geography class, but its students can still become global citizens. So says librarian Delia Wallis, who hopes to encourage that process via a trip she and several other Oregon librarians will make this summer. Wallis will be taking a three-week trip Wallis to Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia with a group of teachers from Oregon, learning about the geog- raphy of the Appalachian Mountains, and comparing it to the geography of Oregon’s mountains. After the trip, Wallis hopes to use that informa- tion to work with Herm- iston teachers to create specific geography lesson plans. The trip is entirely funded by the Gray Family Foundation and run through Portland State University’s Center for Geography Education in Oregon. The group will visit major cities, small towns, historical sites and geographical regions, and will stop at several sites to discuss both the physical and human geography of each location. “We’ve already met a couple of times prior to going,” said Wallis, who leaves for the trip on June 19. “A pair of us will be an ‘expert’ at each stop along the way.” Wallis, along with a teacher from Salem, will be presenting a lesson on Blackwater Falls and Spruce Knob-Seneca areas in West Virginia Wallis said her specific responsibility is researching the human geography of the area. “Human geography refers to the transfer of ideas, goods, the politics of that area,” Wallis said. “When we get there, the biggest eyeopener of all will probably be talking to the people about their area and what they find important.” Though Wallis is the only teacher on the trip from Eastern Oregon, she hopes to make her research relevant to her hometown. “I’m going to be comparing the Blue Mountains’ forest and water resources to the forest and water resources (in the Appalachians),” she said. “And see how things have progressed in each area with what’s a finite resource.” Once she returns, she hopes her firsthand experi- ence with a new area will allow her to help teachers create more thorough geography lessons for their students. “If there’s a fourth grade class looking at the concept of mountain ranges — we don’t have the concept of ridgelines here like they do there. It’s easier to explain something when you’ve seen it,” she said. “The key purpose is: You’re better able to teach about a place when you’ve seen it.” While she lamented the lack of geography classes in the district, she said it’s still possible to teach students about places outside their local area. “We need to infuse it into other classes as much as possible,” she said. “Never before have kids been able to be global citizens like this. With that comes the responsibility of knowing as much as we can about other places.” ——— Contact Jayati Ramakrishnan at jramakrishnan@eastore- gonian.com or 541-564- 4534 LOTTERY Monday, June 12 Megabucks 11-20-25-27-30-36 Estimated jackpot: $1 million Lucky Lines 2-8-11-15-17-22-27-29 Estimated jackpot: $26,000 Win for Life 5-61-74-76 Pick 4 1 p.m.: 0-8-2-8 4 p.m.: 9-7-5-9 7 p.m.: 6-6-9-4 10 p.m.: 8-6-9-7 Tuesday, June 13 Pick 4 1 p.m.: 3-0-1-6 Page 5A OBITUARIES Nathan Allen Munoz Robert R. ‘Bob’ Smith Pendleton October 6, 1992-June 10, 2017 Weston April 15, 1926-February 24, 2017 CTUIR member Nathan Allen Munoz, 24, of Pend- leton passed away Saturday June 10, 2017 in his home.

Oregon Health Authority and Union County health officials are investigating five suspected cases of mumps associated with a confirmed case. Three of the five people work in a health care setting. Officials urge providers to help identify additional cases to reduce further spread. Across the border in Washington, mumps has appeared 864 times in 15 counties this year, including four cases in Benton County. No cases have been identified in Umatilla County, according to Umatilla County Public Health Director James Setzer. “People should be aware and make sure they get seen and that cases get reported should they appear here in Umatilla County,” he said, adding that it’s not a cause for scare or concern as yet, but residents should keep their eyes and ears open at this point. The confirmed Union County case is a 41-year-old man who was initially diag- nosed with parotitis, a painful swelling of the parotid sali- vary glands and a common symptom of mumps. Public health officials are working to identify the source of this outbreak and to identify exposed persons, especially health care workers who don’t have mumps immunity. Symptoms of mumps include fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, loss of appetite and swollen glands. Symp- toms typically appear 16-18 days after infection. Most people experience mild or no symptoms and recover in a few weeks. Rarely, someone with mumps, usually an adult, will experience complications such as menin- gitis, deafness or encephalitis.
