Two cases o f sexual transmission have been reported in the past 10 years. This appears to be rare. Two types o f mosquitoes are known to spread Zika vi rus; neither is found in O r egon. Symptoms o f Zika include fever, rash, joint pain and red ness o f the eyes. Eighty per cent o f people infected with Zika virus are asymptomatic. Zika symptoms are mild, and serious illness requiring hospitalization is uncommon. A handful o f Zika cases have occurred in Oregon in recent years; all were travel ers returning from areas with active Zika transmission at the time. O th er th an a single re ported case o f sexual trans mission, all cases o f Zika in the Continental U.S. are re lated to travel in areas where the virus is circulating. There is no treatm ent or vaccine for Zika, , but it can be prevented by usihg insect repellent and protecting your skin from m osquito bites. The O regon H ealth Au thority is working with local county health departm ents and Oregon health care pro viders to identify and test appropriate persons for Zika virus. The Centers for Disease C o n tro l an d P re v e n tio n (CDC) is providing testing for Zika on samples from sus pected cases sent from state public health labs. T he C D C recom m ends pregnant w om en postpone travel to areas where Zika is circulating due to its possible link to a brain development disorder (microcephaly) in unborn babies.

This is love at its greatest: A k in d so u l M artiR ai R am sey h eard th a t W arm Springs photographer Jayson Smith suffered an unfortu nate accident. As a result o f the accident, Jayson’s laptop was smashed. The computer is the very tool that enables Jayson to immeasurably bless the com munity and people o f Warm Springs with Lis photography. MartiRai hoped to raise, $500, and yet in less than 24 hours 34 people stepped up to donate $1,175. Is this won derful or what? This single act o f kindness will in turn bless an entire co m m u n ity w ith p h o to graphs, the modern archiving o f culture. This will encouf-' age a young m an w ith his craft, and generate Blessings that cannot even; be calcu lated in money alone. I am hum bled and im pressed by the random acts o f kindness I witness daily by the beautiful and am azing people o f the Warm Springs, Paiute and Wasco communi ties, the Confederated Tribes. Ju st think o f it: if every one o f us extended a random genuine act o f kindness to one another, how our com munity will flourish! ' This blesses me because I enjoy seeing Jayson's pho- tos, especially o f the chil dren. H e captures their joy and hope. MartiRai, thank you for your example. If people con tinue to gift with their heart at anÿ level, this gentleman will be able to get software, perhaps a new camera:— all kinds o f great things can hap pen. I f you are n o t fam iliar with Warm Springs, just visit the KWSO or Spiiyay Tymoo websites, and you will see his amazing photographs. C on tinued blessings to you both.

T he submissions can also depict pre-treaty tra ditional practices. We ask artists to in clude in their proposal how they will conduct re search along w ith their creative process in imag ining the scene that they seek to depict. The events and settings should be set in the 19th century or earlier, since there is little record o f those times. This project is funded by the W ashanaksha Cultural Grant, and is called the Mul timedia Shaptakai: A r t In terpretations o f Tribal H is tory. The images will be digi tized and paired with audio ab o u t the subject m atter. T he artw ork w ill also be framed and displayed.
