Shirley M. Trachsel of
Stanfield, Oregon, joined her
Lord and Savior on January
8, 2018, after a courageous
battle with cancer.
Shirley was born in
Crowley, Colorado, on
May 29, 1931. She was the
first of nine children born
to Levern and
Gladys Galbraith.
The family moved
often and settled
in
Oregon
in
1936.
Shirley
started school in
Sutherlin, Oregon.
They then moved
to Mount Hood,
Oregon, in 1939.
When Shirley was
10 years old they Trachsel
moved to Bonny
Slope and she lived
in the area for the next 51
years.
Shirley married Herbert
K. Trachsel in 1948 and she
became an instant mom for
Herbert’s two children by a
previous marriage, Herbert
Jr. and Beverley. Shirley and
Herbert had two children:
Charlene and Kelly Trachsel.
Shirley worked at Wool-
worths in Portland, then at
Sunset Lanes in Beaverton.
That’s where her love for
bowling got its start. One
of her teams was called
Gladys’s Girls, named for
her blind mom, Gladys, and
included her two sisters,
Marge and Edna, and a
close friend, Jeannie. They
traveled with mom all over
the U.S.A. bowling in state
tournaments. Also, with her
love for travel, she visited
Israel two times.
Shirley’s
lifelong
loves were her family and
friends and the Crossroads
Community Assembly of
God Church in Stanfield,
where she was a greeter.
She enjoyed dancing and
of course bowling,
which
was
a
weekly event. She
also loved taking
her motor home
traveling
and
camping out with
her Columbia River
Good Sam Club.
Shirley
was
preceded in death
by her parents,
Levern and Gladys
Galbraith, her first
husband Herbert,
his children Herbert Jr. and
Beverley J. Meader, her
second husband Stan Jacobs
and three siblings, Doris
Warren, Jim Galbraith and
Dale Galbraith.
Shirley is survived by her
daughter Charlene and son
Kelly Trachsel, her siblings
L. Don Galbraith, Marge
(Larry) Nelson, John (Marie)
Galbraith, Edna Lien and
Raymond Galbraith, along
with many cousins, nieces
and nephews.
A memorial service will
be held January 20, 2018,
at 1 p.m. at the Stanfield
Crossroads
Community
Assembly of God Church.
Burial services will be at the

Doc: Trump healthy, did ‘exceedingly well’ on cognitive test
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Donald Trump’s
overall health “is excellent”
and he did “exceedingly well”
on cognitive screening, the
Navy doctor who performed
Trump’s
first
medical
checkup said Tuesday.
Ronny Jackson had issued
a blanket declaration that
Trump was in “excellent
health” after last Friday’s
exam, and promised to
provide a fuller readout on
Tuesday.
He reported that the
6-foot-3 president weighed
in at 239 pounds — three
pounds heavier than he was
in September 2016, the last
time Trump revealed his
weight to the public.
Trump’s blood pressure
was 122 over 74, and his total
cholesterol was 223, which is
higher than recommended.
Trump was 70 when he
took office on Jan. 20, 2017,
making him the oldest person
ever elected to the presidency.
Trump’s heart exam was
normal, with regular rhythm
and no abnormal sounds,
which Jackson said led him
to conclude with confidence
that Trump “has a very strong
and a very probable possi-
bility of making it completely

through his presidency with
no medical issues.” Trump
has no heart disease and no
family history of it.
The 71-year-old president
performed
“exceedingly
well” on cognitive screening,
which is not standard but
was requested by Trump.
The doctor said he had
“absolutely no concerns”
about Trump’s cognitive
abilities. He speculated that
Trump requested the exam
in an attempt to beat back
the narrative of the past few
weeks that he is mentally
unfit for office.
“He’s very sharp. He’s
very articulate when he
speaks to me,” Jackson
said. “I’ve never known
him to repeat himself when
he’s around me. I found no
reason whatsoever to think
the president has any issues
whatsoever with his thought
process.”
Trump last revealed
details about his health two
months before the November
2016 election.
Trump’s
cholesterol
reading from Friday’s exam
was borderline high even
though he takes a low dose
of the statin drug Crestor.
Jackson said he would
increase that dose in an effort
to get Trump’s so-called
“bad” cholesterol, or LDL
level, below 120; it currently
is 143.
Trump’s body mass index,
or BMI, of 29.9 puts him in
the category of being over-
weight for his height. A BMI
of 30 and over is considered
obese.
Jackson said he prescribed
a diet lower in fat and carbo-
hydrates, and exercise. He’d
like the president to lose 10
to 15 pounds over the next
year.
Despite the diet and
cholesterol
concerns,
Jackson stressed that Trump’s
“cardiac health is excellent.”
He passed a battery of heart
exams including a stress test
that Jackson said showed
an above-average exercise
capacity for a man of his
age, despite some calcium
buildup in his arteries. He
also takes a low-dose aspirin
for heart health.
With such a bad dietary
history, how can that be?
Jackson said Trump has
avoided some big heart
risks — he’s never smoked
and isn’t diabetic — and has
no family history of heart
problems.
Trump did not undergo
a psychiatric exam. But
in a surprise, Jackson said
he did perform a cognitive
screening test, at Trump’s
request. Called the Montreal
Cognitive Assessment, it is
designed to detect early signs
of memory loss and other
neurologic functions — and
Trump had a perfect score.
Cognitive
assessments
aren’t routine in standard
physicals, although they
recently became covered in
Medicare’s annual wellness
visits for seniors.
