OBITUARIES
Rose Mary (Trump) Pruit
May 17, 1943–September 29, 2019
Rose Mary (Trump)
Pruitt was born May 17,
1943, in La Grande, Ore-
gon, to Guy Spencer and
Mildred (Johnson) Trump.
Rose grew up in
nearby Wallowa
with her two sis-
ters Zora and
Ruth. After mov-
ing to Eugene in
high school, she
met and married
Steven
Pruitt.
Along with rais-
ing a family,
she enjoyed careers in the
dental and educational
fi elds, working at Cascade
High School in Turner for
many years. Rose devoted
her life to her Chris-
tian faith, spending her
time involved in church
and mentoring… youth
through programs such as
4-H. Additionally, she was
an avid textile artist. She
was a member of several
local quilt guilds, partici-
pated in spinning demon-
strations at Ore-
gon Trail events,
and
operated
a dressmaking
business. Rose
passed away on
September 29,
2019, in Salem.
She is survived
by her sisters;
children, Sam,
Tom, and Millie (Taylor);
and grandchildren, Rose,
Bradley, Aidan, and Dane.
A service was held Satur-
day, October 19, 2019, at
1 p.m. at Weddle Funeral
Service in Stayton. Private
burial took place at Willa-
mette National Cemetery
in Portland.
Concussions in high school
athletes linked to suicide risk
Male participants with a
reported concussion in the
last year were twice as likely
to report having attempted
suicide and three times more
likely to report a history of
receiving medical treatment
for an attempted suicide
than those who did not have
a recent concussion.
The study also revealed
female students with a his-
tory of concussions had
greater odds to report all
risk factors of suicide. A
recently published arti-
cle in the journal Pediatrics
revealed female high school
athletes have higher concus-
sion rates than their male
counterparts.
“Everyone needs to be
aware of the warning signs
and the risks that come with
concussions — parents,
teachers, coaches, but also
the students themselves,”
Mantey said. “ If a child is
diagnosed with a concus-
sion, everyone in their sup-
port network should look
for changes in mood or
behavior that may be warn-
ing signs of reduced mental
well-being.”
By Wendi Hawthorne
University of Texas
Concussion, the most
common form of trau-
matic brain injury, has been
linked to an increased risk
of depression and suicide in
adults. New research pub-
lished by The University of
Texas Health Science Cen-
ter at Houston suggests high
school students with a his-
tory of sports-related con-
cussions might be at an
increased risk for suicide
completion.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention, suicide is the sec-
ond-leading cause of death
in Americans ages 10 to 34.
Common symptoms of a
concussion include loss of
consciousness, headache,
confusion, and change in
mood.
Researchers discovered
that teenagers who reported
having a concussion in the
last year were more likely
to report feelings of depres-
sion, suicidal ideations, and
planned or previous suicide
attempts.
Archaeologists explore pictograph ochre pigment mystery
this bacteria to a tempera-
ture range of approximately
750°C to 850°C to initiate
the color transformation.
“It’s common to think
about the production of
red paint as people collect-
ing red rocks and crushing
them up,” MacDonald said.
“Here, with the help of mul-
tiple scientifi c methods, we
were able to reconstruct the
approximate temperature at
which the people at Babine
Lake were deliberately heat-
By Brandi McDonald
University of Missouri,
Columbia
Ochre, one of Earth’s
oldest naturally occur-
ring materials, was often
used as a vivid red paint
in ancient rock art known
as pictographs across the
world. Despite its broad
use throughout human his-
tory and a modern focus on
how the artistic symbolism
is interpreted, little research
exists on the paint itself and
how it was produced.
Now, scientists led by
Brandi MacDonald at the
University of Missouri are
using archaeological sci-
ence to understand how
ochre paint was created by
hunter-gatherers in North
America to produce rock art
located at Babine Lake in
British Columbia. The study
was published in Scientifi c
Reports, a journal of Nature.
“Ochre is one of the only
types of material that people
have continually used for over
200,000 years, if not longer,”
said MacDonald, who spe-
cializes in ancient pigments.
“Therefore, we have a deep
ing this biogenic paint over
open-hearth fi res. So, this
wasn’t a transformation
done by chance with nature.
Today, engineers are spend-
ing a lot of money trying to
determine how to produce
highly thermo-stable paints
for ceramic manufacturing
or aerospace engineering
without much known suc-
cess, yet we’ve found that
hunter-gatherers had already
discovered a successful way
to do this long ago.”
