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.

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.

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.

els if you’re overweight and if you have one or more
