RECORDS/FAITH Simpson commissioned as National Guard officer LA GRANDE — Terry John Simpson graduated with a business administra- tion degree Saturday, June 16 from Eastern Oregon University and was com- missioned as an officer in the Oregon Army National Guard as an Armor Officer. The son of Terry Shaun Simpson and Lori Brogoitti, Simpson also is a 2014 grad- uate of Weston-McEwen High School. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Koko the gorilla, whose remarkable sign-language ability and motherly attach- ment to pet cats helped change the world’s views about the intelligence of ani- mals and their capacity for empathy, has died at 46. Koko was taught sign language from an early age as a scientific test subject and eventually learned more than 1,000 words, a vocab- ulary similar to that of a human toddler. She became a celebrity who played with the likes of William Shatner, Sting, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams and Mr. Rog- ers. At her home preserve, where she was treated like a queen, she ran around with Williams’ eyeglasses and unzipped Rogers’ famous cardigan sweater. In so doing, Koko showed the American public that a giant ape didn’t have to be scary but wanted to be SUNDAYS tickled and hugged. The Gorilla Foundation said the 280-pound west- ern lowland gorilla died in her sleep at the founda- tion’s preserve in Califor- nia’s Santa Cruz mountains Tuesday. Koko was the not the first animal to learn sign language and communi- cate, but through books and media appearances she became the most famous. Yet there was debate in the scientific community about how deep and human-like her conversations were. Koko appeared in many documentaries, including a 2015 PBS one, and twice in National Geographic. The gorilla’s 1978 National Geographic cover featured a photo that the animal had taken of herself in a mirror. “Koko the individual was supersmart, like all the apes, and also sensitive, some- thing not everyone expected from a ‘king kong’ type ani- mal that movies depict as dangerous and formidable,” Emory University primate researcher Frans de Waal BAHA’I FAITH IN PENDLETON Morning Celebration - 10am Morning Kids Place - 10am Evening - 6pm Adult - Study Youth - Small Group Kids - Rangers & Girl’s Ministries “See ye no strangers, rather see all men as friends, for love and unity come hard when ye fi x your gaze on otherness.” – Abdu’l Baha THURSDAYS 1015 SE Court Place Celebrate Recovery - 6pm Celebration Place - Kids - 6pm The Landing - Teens - 6pm Everyone invited!

Koko’s real name was Hanabi-Ko, Japanese for fireworks child. She was born July 4, 1971, at the San Francisco Zoo. Francine Patterson was working on her doctoral dissertation on the linguis- tic capabilities of gorillas and in 1972 started to teach Koko sign language. Pat- terson and biologist Ronald Cohn moved Koko to their newly established preserve in 1974 and kept teaching and studying her, adding a male gorilla in 1979. In 2004, Koko used American Sign Language to communicate that her mouth hurt and used a pain scale of 1 to 10 to show how badly it hurt. “Koko represents what language may have been 5 million years ago for peo- ple,” Cohn said in 1996. “That’s the time that goril- las and humans separated in evolution.” WORSHIP COMMUNITY Family service 9am Sunday N.E.

Gritz UPCOMING SERVICES Please come visit with us at St. Johns Episcopal Church 401 Northgate, Pendleton said in an email Thursday. “It changed the image of apes, and gorillas in par- ticular, for the better, such as through the children’s book ‘Koko’s Kitten’ that may young people have grown up with. To view apes as nice and caring was new to the public and a big improvement.” Koko watched mov- ies and television, with her handlers saying her favor- ite book was “The Three Little Kittens,” her favorite movies included the Eddie Murphy version of “Doctor Doolittle” and “Free Willy,” and her favorite TV show was “Wild Kingdom.” For her 25th birthday, she asked for and received a box of rubber snakes. In 1996, she even asked to be a mother. Despite attempts by her keepers to introduce male partners, Koko never became a mother. Instead, she had a series of kittens as pets. The first was named All Ball, a gray and white tail- less kitten, given to Koko for her birthday in 1984. DEATH NOTICES Sharon K. Gritz, 68, of Hermiston died Wednesday, June 20, 2018, at her home. She was born Nov. 12, 1949, in The Dalles, to Gerald and Georgia “Aileen” (Scott) Nisbet. Arrangements are with Burns Mortuary of Hermiston.
