Sept. 7, 1916 Grant County Journal 100 years ago Mayor Walks to Baker A short time ago Mayor Cleaver went to Baker after a cow, and decided that he would walk out in order to see what kind of road he would have to lead his bossy back over. Mr. Cleaver rode part of the way out, getting a lift several times, but coming back he hoofed the whole 70 odd miles, leading the cow and made the trip in two days and a half. Sept. 8, 1966 Blue Mountain Eagle 50 years ago Fair Pavilion Dedication Features Morse, Jackman Highlighting the 57th an- nual Grant County Fair will be a special dedication cere- mony of the pavilion build- ing with guest speakers Sen- ator Wayne Morse and E.R. Jackman. The dedication will be held Saturday at 5 p.m. in the pa- vilion. Of special interest to the residents of Grant county will be the naming of the building. Oregon agriculture is to be the subject Senator Morse’s speech and Jackman will speak on the John Day Coun- try–looking back and looking ahead. Senator Morse originally informed the fair offi cials that he would be unable to attend the fair, but last week said he would come. The former dean of the University of Oregon law school has been a senator from Oregon since 1944. Jackman, a noted author and educator, has served with the Oregon State University extension service for nearly 40 years. He is credited with developing much of Oregon’s $20 million seed industry. He has also written numerous magazine articles and books. Serving as the master of ceremonies for the program is Donald Ostensoe, execu- tive secretary of the Oregon Beef Council. He has been active in various civic ac- tivities in Oregon. Ostensoe has served as chairman of the March of Dimes campaign for Oregon. The pavilion building was constructed during 1963- 64 under the direction of Al Reinertson who was fair manager. The building sur- vived the 1964 Christmas fl ood, but about 12 inches of water and silt covered the en- tire fl oor. Reinertson and his wife, Dolly, spent the better part of fi ve years working on the building. The Grant county fair board has spent $30,000 on the building. The appraised value of the building is $72,000. Members of the fair board are Darrell Johnson, Prairie City; L.J. (Pete) Baucum, Canyon City; Herman De- Souza, Mt. Vernon; Mrs. Ar- lene Oliver, John Day; Rev. Phil Ryan, John Day; Imme- diate past chairman of the board is Niles Sproul, Can- yon City. Fair manager is Dale Mar- tin, Long Creek, and fair sec- retary is LaVeda Millering, John Day. Quality Healthcare Close To Home 170 Ford Road, John Day • 541-575-1311 • www.bluemountainhospital.org Pre-diabetes – It Could Be You! By Kim Jacobs, Lifestyle Coach According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), one out of three people have a con- dition known as Pre-diabetes. Of those individuals, 9 out of 10 do not know they even have it and 15-30% will most likely develop Type 2 Diabetes within 5 years. What is Pre-diabetes? Pre-diabetes is when your blood glucose level is higher than normal, but it’s not high enough for a di- agnosis of Diabetes. You can think of it as a warning sign. This is your chance to step things up and make healthy lifestyle changes that will lower your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Good nutrition and physical activity have a major effect on preventing Type 2 Diabetes. Studies show that people with Pre-diabetes who lose at least 7% of their body weight and engage in moderate physical activity at least 150 minutes per week can prevent or delay Diabetes and even return their blood glucose levels to normal. Are you at risk? There are several risk factors that make it more likely that you’ll develop mPre-diabetes: • Weight: If you’re overweight (have body mass index of 25 or greater), your risk is higher. If you carry a lot of extra weight in your abdomen, this also increases your risk. • Lack of physical activity: This often goes hand-in- hand with being overweight. If you are physically inactive, you increase your risk. • Family history: If someone in your close family has Diabetes, you are more likely to develop it. • Race/Ethnicity: African-Americans, Hispanic Amer- icans, Native Americans, and Asian Americans are more likely to develop Pre-diabetes. • Age: At age 45, your risk starts to increase. After age 65, your risk increases signifi cantly. • Gestational Diabetes: If you developed Diabetes during your pregnancy, you are at increased risk.
