MAY 18, 1993
According to studies,
30 percent of the Amer-
ican population is aller-
gic to something. For
some it could be a certain
food, cologne, fabric or
insect repellent. However,
according to Dr. Richard
Flaiz of Hermiston, most
individuals suffer from
what goes up their nose,
in the form of pollens and
molds.
Sitting in his office at
the Good Shepherd Med-
ical Center, Dr. Flaiz
and his allergy nurse,
Sarah Zwiefelhofer, R.N.,
explain that they have
begun a multi-year proj-
ect that should give Herm-
iston-area allergy suffer-
ers a fighting chance in the
battle against the sneeze,
wheeze, drip and cough of
airborn allergens.
While no one can com-
pletely shield themselves
from all sources of aller-
gies, Zwiefelhofer states
that their present project
will give locals an idea of
what is blooming in the
area so they can take pre-
cautions. The apparatus
the duo is using to make
their study is located near
the hospital and in essence
is a small wind gauge that
traps all passing particles
and funnels them onto a
small, adhesive glass rod.
Once each day, Zwiefel-
hofer lowers the mech-
anism from its perch,
removes the rod and puts
it under a microscope to
determine what molds and
pollens are blowing around
in the area. As a service to
the residents of northeast-
ern Oregon, Dr. Flaiz will
be issuing a pollen and
mold report every week on
the front page of the Herm-
iston Herald.
• One of the long-stand-
ing arguments between the
proponents of sport hunt-
ing and the animal rights
extremists may be tak-
ing on a new twist in the
future, a twist that almost
borders on the comedic.
For eons, hunters, biol-
ogists and wildlife manag-
ers have argued that sport
hunting is the most natu-
ral, efficient and logical
management tool for keep-
ing certain wildlife pop-
ulations (such as deer) in
check. The animal right-
ists, on the other hand, have
long tried to sway public
opinion away from this,
preaching that the more
labor-intensive and costly
trap-and-relocate methods
are the most acceptable.
Now they’re touting an
even more bizarre solution:
birth control for animals.
While still an exper-
imental concept, hav-
ing not been approved or
put through vigorous test-
ing by the Food and Drug
Administration,
animal
rights advocates believe a
new technology involving
“immunocontraceptives”
could be a viable alterna-
tive to hunting everywhere.
to celebrate these wonder-
ful educators who are mak-
ing a difference every day
for students,” said Michele
Madril, IMESD director of
communication.

action with the armed
forces overseas. The word
was received by her par-
ents at Ontario where Miss
Luehrs had gone to visit
for the weekend.
There is still some faint
ray of hope, however, as
the news was received
from the Red Cross from
a German government
source which might be
misleading.

er’s impression of the city
of Hermiston. It will set the
stage for a panel discussion

make local citizens aware of
the shortcomings and assets
of Hermiston as seen by a
casual visitor, said Bernie
Carper, project committee
chairman for the Congress
for Community Progress.
The entire community is
cordially invited to attend.

Next week will be a busy
one in the lives of Hermis-
ton high school seniors who
will complete four years of
study, climaxed by receiv-
ing their diplomas Thurs-
day night. A total of 25
seniors will conclude their
high school days, to enter
new fields of endeavor
which at the present time
are none too bright.
Graduation
exercises
will be held Thursday eve-
ning, May 20, beginning at
8 p.m. The program will be
opened by the processional
by the high school band,
followed by the invocation,
and a musical selection
by the chorus. Charles F.
Walker, president of Behn-
ke-Walker Business Col-
lege, will deliver an address

The Hermiston Bach-
elors Club, composed of
Tom Campbell, president;
H. K. Dean, vice presi-
dent; James Smith, sec-
retary-treasurer; and Sam
Oldaker, advisory member,
broke all the rules of the
organization Thursday eve-
ning by being hosts to all
the local school teachers of
the female persuasion at a
sumptuous turkey dinner at
the Hotel Hermiston.
We do not know as yet
what the outcome will be,
but some fear is felt that
the club will lose its hon-
ored president and vice
president.
•When the American
steamship Kansan was sunk
some time ago by a German
submarine it had on board
a great quantity of masks,
gloves, baseballs and bats
for the United States troops
in France, all of which
went to the bottom of the
sea with the ill-fated ves-
sel, thus depriving the boys
“over there” from indulging
in the national game.
Now, however, popu-
lar subscription is mak-
ing it possible for the send-
ing of another cargo of the
paraphernalia to the sol-
dier boys, and in this mat-
ter Hermiston is doing her
share. The little drive for
this cause was handled by
William Shaar, who was
commissioned to do the
work, and in the three or
four days he has been solic-
iting subscriptions he has
raised quite a neat little
sum.
