mosquito-borne. 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.

A blessing
This is community. 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.
