Flu shots available as season approaches
Australia had a bad flu season
this year, with more than twice as
many reported cases as last year.
This is an indicator that the flu
season in the U.S. could be a bad
one as well, said Katy Russell,
Warm Springs Community Health
director.
Good news is that the flu vac-
cine appears to be a good match
for this year’s strain, Ms. Russell
said. Community Health has flu
shots available at the clinic. They
will also be making visits around
the community in coming weeks,
providing vaccinations.
Nurses will start visiting local
schools giving flu shots on Tues-

age-appropriate flu vaccine.
Getting an annual flu vaccine
is the first and best way to pro-
tect yourself and your family
from the flu. Flu vaccination can
reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ vis-
its, and missed work and school
due to flu, as well as prevent flu-
related hospitalizations.
The more people who get vac-
cinated, the more people will be
protected from flu, including
older people, very young chil-
dren, pregnant women, and
people with certain long-term
health conditions who are more
vulnerable to serious flu com-
plications.

Klamath-Modoc artist featured
at Water of the West exhibit
A $100,000 grant to the High
Desert Museum in Bend will help
with the creation of an interdisci-
plinary exhibition, Water in the
West.
The project will connect artists
from multiple mediums with sci-
entists to creatively approach the
topic of water in Oregon, and ex-
plore the relationship between art
and science.
The exhibition will be on dis-
play from May 2019 to Novem-
ber 2019. The project is funded
through Oregon Community
Foundation. Artistic disciplines in-
clude visual arts, music and spo-
ken word.
Weaving together multiple ar-
tistic mediums with science and
natural and cultural history, Wa-
ter in the West will provide a com-
pelling exploration of water in Or-
egon.
For the exhibition, the museum
will commission four works of art
that will explore a variety of top-
ics related to water in the West, in-
cluding biodiversity in riparian eco-
systems, how water has shaped the
West’s natural, cultural, and geo-
logical history, and contemporary
issues, such as water usage, Indig-
enous rights and the impacts of
climate change.
The exhibition will feature:
A visual art installation by con-
temporary Klamath/Modoc artist
Ka’ila Farrell-Smith. Farrell-Smith
uses painting and sculptural art
forms, such as basket weaving and
drum making, to explore the space
in-between the Indigenous and
western worlds, and several of her
recent works have explored Indig-
enous water rights.
A spoken word piece composed
by critically acclaimed artist/per-
for mer Jason Graham (also
known as Mosley Wotta).
An intermedia art installation
created by Harmonic Laboratory,
a collective of artists who integrate
art, science and the humanities.
