Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday. October 12, 1994 - FIVE Salmonella outbreak in county Sheriff's dog put to sleep Deputy Terry Harper and dog Dax The Morrow County Sheriff's Office is mourning the death of one of their staff. Dax, the departm ent's four-year-old German Shepherd police dog, was put to sleep after the discovery of a tumor in the dog's spinal cord. Morrow County Undersheriff Verlin Denton said that the Dax had demonstrated motor func tion problems, such as dragg ing his paws to the extent that the dog wore the hair off the front of his feet. The depart ment eventually took the dog to the W ashington State U niversity D epartm ent of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, who discovered the tumor. Ac cording to Denton, veterin arians at WSU said that Dax had only a 50 percent chance of surviving surgery and if he did, he would probably be paralyz ed. They said he would never again be a police dog and recommended that he be “ put dow n", said Denton. Denton said that the whole department was saddened by the dog's death, especially Dax's master, Morrow County Sheriff's Deputy Terry Harper and Harper's family. Dax lived at the Harper home, sleeping at the foot of Harper's bed. “ This has hit everyone kind of hard," said Denton. Denton added that Dax was “ invaluable” and was just star ting to show some real promise in working with the drug task force. While the department hopes to someday replace Dax, Denton says, “ Right now we just don't have the m oney." The dog cost the department $5,000, with another $5,000 for training. Denton says that the department is trying to get compensation from the Ger man breeder who sold them the dog. The department got Dax in Sept. 1993. TV service may be interrupted Heppner T.V. Inc. service may be interrupted Oct. 6 through Oct. 14 at approx imately 1:05 to 1:14 p.m. daily due to solar interference. Other satellites will be off approx imately 35 minutes later. This interruption is due to solar interference when a loss of satellite signal will occur, says Judie Laughlin, Office Manager for Heppner T.V. Inc. Solar interference is an in herent part of satellite opera tions and occurs in the spring and fall of each year. This takes place when the orbital positions of the satellite and the sun are in one line. The earth station then receives signals from both, but the more powerful sun sub dues the desired signal, caus ing a loss of service. Salmonella enteritidis bacteria.
