Welcome to the
team Traci!
Thank You
We are grateful for the loving care that our Doris received at Valley View
throughout her years with them. The caregivers, staff and residents became her family,
and the facility became her home. Her life at Valley View became our life as we grew
familiar with these wonderful people who attended to Doris on a 24-7 basis. To each of
the caregivers, we would like you to know how amazing and valuable you are. Your
caring attitude has not gone unnoticed and to the great staff whose primary focus was
towards the well-being of Doris. “You are stars!”
And a big Thank You to Hospice, who came to assist during this end of life process.
We appreciate the comfort given, not only to Doris, but to family in the final weeks of
her life. As family, we noticed the team work between Valley View and Hospice whose
foremost concern was to make the last days of Doris’ life as
comfortable and pain free as possible and treated her
with dignity in the process.
God bless you all! We can never
thank you enough for your hearts
that cared through your hands
in assisting Doris in all
her days, weeks, months and
years in your care.

EDITOR WANTED
Join Our Team!
Some Western regions are epicenters of change. Our beautiful Oregon community is one of
those. The territory served by the Blue Mountain Eagle frequently juggles forest health,
logging, public lands grazing, water supply, wildlife habitat improvements and wildfire
resilience.
For a journalist who thrives on the new story of the West, becoming Editor of the Eagle is an
excellent opportunity. Our work place offers year-round recreational opportunities, including
backpacking, camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and horseback riding.
Part of a family-owned Oregon media company, the Blue Mountain Eagle is located in John
Day, Oregon, just 3 hours from Bend and Pendleton. There is a small-town lifestyle and the
news opportunities are varied and challenging. The community is at the center of an evolving
natural resource restoration economy, which gains statewide and even national attention.
The Eagle, seeks an energetic, creative, outgoing and hard-working Editor. This is your
opportunity to join a company that believes in community journalism. The Eagle is the oldest
(146 years) weekly newspaper in Eastern Oregon and is part of EO Media Group, an award-
winning and innovative news organization with active owners.
We seek a journalist who is passionate about local news, excited about the opportunity to
publish in print, on line and with social media. You’ll manage and mentor two newsroom
employees and work with a professional page design team. Your journalistic integrity is a
must; leadership, budgeting, multi-media and mentoring experience are a plus. This is a
hands-on position that edits and writes stories; takes photos; posts daily to our web site; and
uses social media to engage readers. Along with the Eagle’s Publisher, you will need to be
involved in the community.
Candidates with an education in journalism or a related field, plus at least 5 years of
progressive newspaper leadership experience should send resume and letter of interest to
EO Media Group, PO Box 2048, Salem, OR 97308-2048, by fax to 503-371-2935 or
email hr@eomediagroup.com.
