Lebanon, Ore. — As temperatures drop, fire place and wood stove usage increases. That directly correlates to an increase in chimney fires. Nearly twenty percent of all residential fires are chimney fires. The largest percentage of chimney-related fires (65%) occur between November and February. Since 2010, in Oregon alone, there were over 3,000 fires that were either confined to a chimney/flue or started in a fireplace, chimney, or flue and extended to the structure. During this period, these fires resulted in one death, 14 injuries, and more than $9 million in estimated damage. Most fires involving chimneys are confined to the chimney or flue. These confined fires rarely result in serious injury, and account for just 3% of estimated losses in chimney-related fires. The average estimated loss per fire that was confined to the chimney or flue was $95. Conversely, 9% of chimney fires spread to become building fires. These fires account for 97% of estimated losses in chimney-related fires. The average estimated loss per fire, not confined to a chimney or flue, was more than $33,000. Additional chimney-related fire statistics: * The largest percentage (46%) were caused by failure to clean. * Half of all chimney fires occurred between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Most chimney/flue fires are preventable. Inspect and clean your chimney and wood stove flue each year. For the DIY'rs, Lebanon Fire District has chimney brushes that you can check out for free. Pleases remember that your safety is paramount and if you do not have the proper tools or skill to clean your own chimney that qualified chimney sweeps can be found by searching local directories. Other safe practices for using wood stoves and fire places include using a fireplace screen, keeping combustibles away from heat sources, and properly disposing of ashes. For further information, please contact the Lebanon Fire District at 541-451-1901

Salem, Ore. — November 7, 2015 marked 35 years since Randall Leach was last seen in Idaho while traveling to Bend, Oregon. Oregon State Police, with the assistance of Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office, Wisconsin and Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho are asking the public’s help for any information on a missing man that was last seen in 1980. Randall Dean Leach, 20 years old at the time, was last seen the morning of November 7, 1980 walking away from a Dairy Farm in Idaho Falls, ID. At the time of his disappearance, Leach was described as a white male, between 5’8” to 5’9” tall, about 140 to 160 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

between Randy’s father, Richard Leach, and the Deputy Inspector of the Detective Division at the time Randy went missing. That relationship between their agency and Randy’s family has continued and investigators have worked with the family to obtain Randy’s dental records which have been uploaded to the National Dental Image Repository (NDIR). By doing this, it makes images available to law enforcement and medical examiners nationwide. Investigators have also obtained DNA samples from family members which were provided to the University of North Texas (UNT)-Center for Human Identification. UNT personnel have established a DNA profile suitable for comparison for Randy Leach and that profile has been added to the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), which allows nationwide comparison. Investigators also created an entry with the National Missing and Unidentif ied Persons System (NAMUS) for Randy Leach (MP# 7429). All tips or information in/from Oregon are requested to be forward to: Northern Command Center (NCC) 503-375-3555 reference OSP case # SP15-348371

The Oregon State Police was notified on February 2, 1981 by family members that Randall Leach was missing. He had left Wisconsin around November 1, 1980 hitchhiking towards a final destination of his sister’s residence in Bend, Oregon. The missing person case has been on-going for 35 years. During this time frame OSP has not received any information or confirmation that Mr. Leach reached his final destination of Bend, Oregon or if he had ever entered the state of Oregon. The Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office (Sheboygan, WI) became involved in this investigation due to a friendship

THE VALLEY EXPLORER New rules for hunting Canada geese in northwest Oregon are in effect when the Northwest Permit Goose Zone

SALEM, Ore.—New rules for hunting Canada geese in northwest Oregon are in effect when the Northwest Permit Goose Zone opened to hunting beginning Oct. 24.

Gone are the requirements to check in geese at a check station, which was inconvenient for hunters. The check-in requirement was to screen for Dusky Canada goose, a subspecies of Canada goose with a small population size.

A hybrid variety of cannabis known as Blue Dream. Photo courtesy of Backyard BBQ Facebook We found some great eats in our everyday travels and wanted to share these mouth-watering hot spots, they are all locally owned, operated and delivering some big flavors. Some places focus on the sauce while others spotlight the rubs and smoking techniques. You make the choice.

Pulled Pork Sanwich Taking the I-5 Pacific Blvd exit, I noticed a purple shack, and after driving past it, thought it was time to see what was cookin.’ The name of the place is the Oregon Barbecue Co. We tried it and we really liked it. I had the pulled-pork sandwich with the sausage. The two sides I ordered that came with the meal were slaw and potato salad. We tried to get the ribs but they sell out almost everyday, unless you get there early. The Oregon Barbecue company serves up pulled pork,beef briscuit sandwiches and of course ribs. They have a number of sides you can choose from like tater salad, bbq beans, slaw, and chips. They also do catering.

Pulled Pork Tacos Backyard BBQ and Catering is the brain-child and mobile barbecue truck conceived by Randy Simi, Tracy Simi and Zach Jones. They offer everything from chili, to beef brisket, chicken and pulled pork tacos. The Simi’s focus less on the sauce and more on the rubs and smoke. They’ve already had their share of repeat business. I asked a couple ordering from the red chow truck what their favorite item was on the menu, they responded almost in unison,”the beef briscuit and pork tacos.” The food is smoked on a Louisiana Pellet grill and the choices of sides include mom’s home made potato salad, homemade chili, bourbon baked beans, macaroni and cheese, and cole-slaw. For the upcoming holidays you can special order smoked prime rib, turkeys, and hams.

By Herb Green THC is the component in cannabis that creates the euphoric effect. We talked to several dispensaries in order to get some tips and tricks for first timers. There are typically three strains or prototypes of cannabis. Divided into these three categories — Sativa, Indica, and a Hybrid of the two varieties. The Sativa plants tend to be more of a head high or buzz. The Indica has more of a mellowing effect — where after a couple of hits you can find yourself getting swallowed by the nearest chair or sofa-also known as ‘couch lock’. The strains we reviewed in this issue of The Valley Explorer are Master Kush and Blue Dream. Blue Dream has been popular for decades in Northern California and Southern Oregon. The plants popularity is it produces well and is tolerant of the high temperatures and harsher environments found in these parts of the state. They also do well in the Willamette Valley if planted in early June. The first bud we sampled was the Blue Dream. This type of smoke is a hybrid combining both Sativa and Indica properties. When these strains are genetically combined, they can bring on both a head like high and a re laxative or body high. This starts out as nice head high then tapers off into a mindful relaxation. This strain is great while raking leaves, painting the fence, or just hanging out with your peeps. The cannabis website Leafly says this is a great strain for first timers. The Blue Dream bud I sampled was dense and heavy in white crystals or trichromes. While smoking this strain I noticed a mix of several different terpenes. I got tastes of pine and a citrus like flavor. The effects of this strain, as typical of some hybrids was more of an uplifting, head-like high. This is one of those strains that lifts you up instead of crashing you into the nearest sofa.

Next, we sampled a popular Indica variety called Master Kush. This variety originates from Amsterdam. This bud had a very nice floral bouquet similar to that of a garden rose. The bud is dank and did not have as many tricromes present as the Blue Dream. This bud had hints of rose and citrus with a smooth earthy finish. This is a great bud to have towards the end of your day or on a weekend when you can take a nap. This would also be a great choice to calm mind and body stress after a hard day. Remember to ask lots of questions before you try some of these potent strains. The bud tenders are knowledgeable and informed at the many dispensaries scattered throughout the Willamette Valley. Try a bud with a smaller amounts of THC, so you know how it is going to effect you. Smoke your buds when your home for the night and ready to chill out.

Now, the Dusky Canada goose season is simply closed. It is a wildlife violation to shoot one. Legal shooting hours have also been changed to 15 minutes after sunrise to 15 minutes before sunset. “It is more important than ever for hunters to hold their fire unless they are sure the target is not a Dusky Canada

goose,” says Brandon Reishus. “Hunters are advised to focus efforts on cackling Canada geese, which are very abundant and easy to identify.” Goose hunters are still required to pass the Northwest Oregon Goose Identification Test to hunt. Also, the Northwest Permit and Northwest General goose zones are combined and now the Permit Zone include all of Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill counties. The Northwest Permit Zone goose season will be open Oct. 24-Nov. 1, Nov. 21-Jan. 12 and Feb. 6-March 10. See page 22 of the Oregon Game Bird Regulations for more details.

I ordered the cheese omelette. The mixture of cheeses were very well balanced to create some excellent flavors. The omelette was fluffy and seasoned perfectly and was accompanied by pan roasted red potatoes and a few choices of bread topped with an optional homemade marion-berry jam. The portions for the pricing made for a great brunch.

Feral Cats an Oregon Dilema By Kay Sams Corvallis, Ore. — Over 82 million feral cats exist in the United States, today; and with the numbers pushing over 2 million across the state, overpopulation of feral cats is a dilemma in Oregon, as well.

In contrast to the aggressive measures taken by the MPCCP, scarce availability of free or low cost clinics in Linn and Benton counties has driven the overpopulation of free-roaming cats to a grand total of more than 129,000.

For many of these cats, their silent exile began as abandoned house cats; some were unaltered pets, lost in search of a mate, and others were born into colonies forged out of a common need by free roaming cats to band together and fend for themselves. (A free roaming cat is a stray cat that becomes feral after three years of living on its own.)

“A more proactive movement is in “desperate need” to manage the numbers of meet numbers of unaltered feral cats with free clinics that are easily accessible to the public, says veteran cat trapper Jody Harmon of Albany, who has trapped over 10,000 cats in Linn County.

According to the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon (FCCO), feral cats may look wild, but generations of domestication have left them without the adaptations for living outside permanently, therefore, cats don’t “regain their instincts” after living on their own. Even so, without the stresses of mating and continual reproduction, feral cats can be just as healthy as pet cats, with equally low rates of disease. But if allowed to breed, feral cats only live an average of 4.7 years. They may also attack pet cats in order to claim territory or be drawn by the lure of food left outdoors. If colonies are overpopulated they can succumb to malnutrition and diseases, such as distemper, rabies, and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), (spread through deep bite wounds in male cats, taking three years of exposure to develop). But the most “prevalent disease” among all cats is the feline leukemia virus (FeLV), which usually affects kittens less than four months old, reports Leah Kennon, Operations Director of the FCCO in Portland. Furthermore, left unaltered, one female cat with four kittens will reproduce over 250,000 cats within seven years. At any rate, the numbers speak volumes and the message is loud and clear: Something must be done about the feline overpopulation problem. With this in mind, and over 70,000 stray cats in their own backyards, concerned citizens of Marion and Polk counties joined forces to create the Marion and Polk County Cat Program (MPCCP), based out of the Willamette Humane Society (WHS), in Salem. In 2014, the program decided that TNR (trap neuter, and release) was the best method for lowering the stray cat population to manageable levels. “The overall goal is to reach at least 50 to 75 percent of the free roaming cat population and bring it into balance by performing 1,700 free spay/neuter surgeries in 2014 and 2,500 in 2015,” says WHS communications Manager, Jay Levitre,

Vitamin D, xanthohumol may offer new approach to obesity epidemic and improved lipid metabolism, compared to a control group of rats that ate the same amount of food. They had a higher rate of fatty acid oxidation and energy metabolism. In simple terms, they burned more fat. In other studies, higher levels of vitamin D status in humans have been associated with reduced risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and other health problems.

“That would, in and of itself, cut the feral cat population in half, just by preventing house cats from reproducing.” Adding fuel to the overpopulation explosion in Linn and Benton counties is the lack of participation by local veterinarians to honor Oregon Spay and Neuter Fund (OSNF) coupons, which offset surgery fees by 85 percent. Currently the coupons are only accepted in Salem, Portland, Sherwood, Wilsonville, Newport, and Eugene. (The OSNF coupons are currently accepted in Salem for entire litters of cats or dogs for $5.00. Go to www.oregonspayneuter.org/services.) The absence of FCCO clinics held biannually in Corvallis has affected the population growth, as well. “Holding the mobile clinics in Corvallis was too risky and expensive”, says Kennon. “But the FCCO is revamping the model for mobile clinics…until then; we encourage people to drive cats to Portland or Salem area free clinics—we are actually looking for cats to fix, because we have the capacity.” All in all, the challenge met by the MPCCP was “well worth the effort and one for the rest of Oregon to follow suit with,” says Pullman. “There is no solution to make cats disappear—the best we can do is stop the pyramid of exponential breeding with population control.” For more information about feral cats in your neighborhood, local spay and neuter clinics, visit: heartlandhumane. org.

CORVALLIS, Ore.– A growing body of evidence suggests that two natural compounds, vitamin D and xanthohumol, have the ability to address imbalances in gut microbiota that may set the stage for obesity and metabolic syndrome - problems that affect about one out of every three adults in the United States. To explore and identify the specific mechanisms by which these compounds have beneficial effects, researchers in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University have received a new five-year, $2.64 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. The possible payoff of this research, they say, may be an entirely new way to reduce or prevent some of the major diseases that are killing millions of people every year, such as heart disease and type-2 diabetes. The new approach would attempt, using high dose supplementation, to prevent disease from developing, instead of treating it after the fact. “The benefits of xanthohumol and vitamin D have been clearly shown in laboratory studies to reduce weight gain and improve gut barrier defenses,” said Adrian Gombart, an associate professor of biochemistry and biophysics in the OSU College of Science, and a principal investigator with the Linus Pauling Institute. “These compounds appear to activate nuclear receptors and pathways that may affect microbe composition, and in the process reduce the damage from metabolic syndrome.” One study published by OSU researchers two years ago in the Journal of Biological Chemistry found that rats given xanthohumol supplements, which are made from hops, had a 14 percent reduction in weight gain, a 25 percent reduction in plasma fasting glucose,

Other lead investigators on this research include Claudia Maier, an OSU professor of chemistry; Fred Stevens, a professor in the OSU College of Pharmacy and also a principal investigator with the Linus Pauling Institute; and Balz Frei, a distinguished professor of biochemistry and biophysics, and director of the Linus Pauling Institute. The OSU researchers believe some of the benefits of vitamin D and/or xanthohumol may be a strong increase in the expression of the cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, or CAMP gene. The hypothesis to be tested in this research, using animal models, is that higher CAMP levels improve gut epithelial barrier function, reduce inflammation, modify gut microbiota and in the process reduce problems with obesity and metabolic syndrome.

EFT another key to enter the zone ALBANY, Ore. — Emotional Freedom Technique also known as EFT, is the process of combining Sports Psychology and Acupressure to achieve physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. CEO and Counselor Greg Warburton has been a leader in the process, his book: Warburton’s Winning System, Tapping and Other Transformational Mental Training Tools for Athletes describes the process in greater detail. I was able to see the EFT process firsthand at the recent ABC House Runaway Pumpkin half-marathon in Lebanon. Greg offered the halfmarathon participants a complimentary session as a warm-up and relaxation tool. The exercise begins with crossing your legs, while breathing deeply and clearing your mind. The tapping begins on the forward of the eye-socket. Tapping firmly but not to cause pain. The process continues among the many energy points located from the head

down to the torso. The fingertips also have these energy points allowing runners and athletes to tap these pressure points while in competition, bringing them back into focus. Warburton has had much success with the process and it’s not limited to only athletic performance training. This process can also be used as a parenting mechanism in order to create more self - reliance in children. Warburton works with many top athletes and as a part-time counselor at ABC house. He also wrote a chapter in the upcoming book titled Sports, Energy, and Consciousness. Greg offers individual training sessions and is available by calling 541-971-9810. You can find more information at his website www. gregwarburton.com. We will apply these techniques in more detail and as a tool to improve ski and snowboarding performance in the next issue of The Valley Explorer.

“Some of the benefits we’re seeing are fairly clear and dramatic, and we need to better understand the mechanisms that cause them,” Stevens said. The compounds may also affect liver function, shutting down metabolic pathways that produce fat and glucose, he said. Vitamin D can be obtained through either the diet or produced by the skin, with adequate exposure to sunshine. Millions of people who live in temperate zones around the world, however, have been found to have inadequate levels of this vitamin, but this can be corrected by taking a supplement. Xanthohumol, a flavonoid, is also a natural compound and is found in the hops used to make beer. Researchers point out, however, that the levels of xanthohumol being used in this research greatly exceed any amount that could be obtained by drinking beer. Direct health care costs arising from obesity and related disorders accounts for almost 10 percent of U.S. health care expenditures each year, the researchers said. The health care costs of diabetes alone were estimated in the U.S. at $176 billion in 2012, and it’s one of the leading causes of death in the nation.
