Hello, War m Springs
community!
My name is Kathleen
Boxx, and I am the new
Women, Infants and Chil-
dren—WIC—coordina-
tor and Dietitian at the
Health and Wellness Cen-
ter.
Today I’m promoting
Oregon’s Farm Direct
Nutrition Program. And
I would like to explain
how WIC participants
can get their farmers’
market vouchers.
It
is
currently
Oregon’s growing season,
and far mers’ markets
across the state are open
and fully stocked with
fresh fruits and veg-
etables.
WIC participants can
purchase these fresh
foods using far mers’
market vouchers pro-
vided by our WIC clinic.
Warm Springs’ WIC
will begin distributing
these vouchers to WIC par-
ticipants in early July.
Along with your vouch-
ers, WIC participants will re-
ceive a reusable shopping
bag, a nutrition and cook-
ing information pamphlet,
and our 2020 Far mers’
Market Guidebook.
This Farmers’ Market
Guidebook highlights our
top picks for farmers’ mar-
kets in Central and North-
Central Oregon as well as in
the Portland Area.
The guidebook includes
16 different farmers’ mar-
ket locations, their hours of
operation, the types of fresh
available for services until
further notice.
Most DMV offices are
open for appointments, but
Madras is not on that list at
this time.
Many services, such as
vehicle titles and registration,
are only available via mail
or at DMV2U.Oregon.gov
or OregonDMV.com
A law enforcement grace
period on expired licenses
and vehicle registration is in

The grace period is in-

Pamela Jyoti Louis ~ 1956-2020
Pamela Jyoti Louis
passed on Wednesday
May 27, 2020 in her
pajamas, due to a vari-
ety of medical issues,
but mostly just impa-
tience.
Ms. Louis was born
in Portland, Oregon in
March 1956 to Walter
A. Langnese and her
mother. Her father
Walter loved to fish,
drink beer and plant to-
matoes in his garden.
Her mother... well her
father worked as a
butcher, drove a Pontiac
and liked dogs.
At 13 Pamela left
home with the intent of
peace and quiet, the ex-
citement of freedom
and safety ahead of
her. She never looked
back.
In 1984 Pamela ac-
complished a Bachelor
of Fine Arts in Sculp-
ture, and like most art-
ists who haven’t found
themselves yet, quickly
took a position helping
a friend open a restau-
rant.
Unlike most artists,
she became an accom-
plished chef in the San
Francisco area—a skill
that was heralded by
guests to the end of her
days. Then another then
another until 30 years
passed and her health
had gone to pot. Liter-
ally.
Moving to Atlanta,
Georgia in 1999,
Pamela began ceramic
classes at Georgia State
University.
After three years of
schooling, she had found
(muse? Medium? Form?)
and took on the motiva-
tion of how to start plan-
ning her own ceramic
business.
Until the last days that
her physical strength
would, Joyti could be
found throwing clay in
her home studio in Warm
Spring.
Jyoti, meaning “Di-
vine Light,” was the
name given by her guru
Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
while she lived with her
Kashi
family
in
Sebastian, Florida. She
lived through the name’s
meaning throughout her
time in this life.
Oregon requires face masks in public indoor places
Face masks are now re-
quired throughout all of
Oregon, in public indoor
places, Governor Kate
Brown announced Monday.
The governor said all
Oregonians will need to wear
face coverings in the public
indoor locations, extending
her order that had been man-
dated in eight counties.
“Over the last month, we
have seen the disease spread
at an alarming rate in both
urban and rural counties,”
Gov. Brown said.
“The upcoming July 4
holiday weekend is a criti-
cal point for Oregon in this
pandemic, and we can all
make a difference.”
Modeling from the Or-
egon Health Authority
shows that if the state resi-
dents do not take further ac-
tion to reduce the spread of
the disease, hospitals could
be overwhelmed by new
Covid-19 cases within weeks.
The Portland Metro re-
gion accounts for half of
new Covid-19 cases in Or-
egon.
The governor said she
does not want to close busi-
nesses again “like other states
are now doing.”
Meanwhile, though, the
upcoming Fourth of July
holiday has health officials
deeply concerned. “We saw
a lot of new Covid-19 cases
following the Memorial Day
holiday,” Brown said. “An-
other spike in cases after the
upcoming holiday weekend
could put Oregon in a dan-
gerous position.”
