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.”

Mumps reported in northeast Oregon
East Oregonian
Mumps has popped up in
Union County.
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.
At one time, according
to the Centers for Disease
Control, about 186,000 cases
