After living in Seattle for almost20 years, Muller moved back eastand met Webb at a music confer-ence. They started performing to-gether in 2003, based in Charleston,West Virginia, and in 2012 theymoved back to the Northwest, set-tling in Enterprise, Oregon.

In 2012, hefinished a three-yearproject sponsored by Al-legheny Mountain Radio,in which he created theradio documentary “Pass-ing It On: The Rebirth ofOld-Time Music inPocahontas County,WV,” which will soon bedistributed to all NationalPublic Radio stations. Healso collaborated withKate Long on the radioseries “In Their OwnCountry,” which wasnominated for a PeabodyAward, and the radio pro-duction, “Kettle Bottom.”Besides performing,

Muller and Webb share apassion for teaching mu-sic to people of all ages.They host an annualadult music camp, Dulci-mer Week in theWallowas, and haveworked extensively with

at-risk children, both in the ruralcoalfields of southern West Vir-ginia and in the inner city, throughtheir own Music Mentors pro-gram and Clay Community Arts.They have published their ownbooks for mandolin and dulcimer,and taught at dozens of folk anddulcimer festivals nationwide.They also enjoy being communityartists-in-residence teaching mu-sic, songwriting, and recordingoral histories from senior citizens.Funded by the Mid-Atlantic ArtsFoundation, Muller collected thelocal history of Big Ugly Creek,WV and wrote songs with chil-dren and adults, which later cul-minated in a 200-page book shecompiled, entitled PatchworkDreams.

At their December 11, 2012 meet-ing, the Boardman City Counciltook the first step in passing a gangordinance. The ordinance changesthe City’s Municipal Code to in-clude language establishing a pro-cedure for law enforcement to iden-tify and designate persons who areassociated with criminal gangs andinvolved in criminal gang activity.The ordinance also includes lan-guage for those persons to appealthe gang designation.

A person who meets the criteriaset in the ordinance, designatingthem as a gang member, will be rec-ommended to the Morrow CountyDistrict Attorney’s Office to beplaced on a list of designated gangmembers. This list will be a usefultool for law enforcement in caseswhere it may be a parole violationfor someone to be in the companyof known gang members. The des-ignated gang members list will

CORVALLIS, Ore. – As you’rewelcoming wild birds into youryard this winter, be sure to keepyour bird feeder clean and keep aneye on the health of your feath-ered diners.

“Sick birds will either be founddead or perched, often with feath-ers in disarray, eyes squinted orwings held out,” said DanaSanchez, a wildlife specialist withthe Oregon State University Exten-sion Service. “Healthy birds arealert and mobile, whereas sick birdsstand out because they are neitherof those.”

Birds can get salmonella frombird feeders. Other diseases canspread when birds congregate orland on infected perches, Sanchezsaid.

“If the sick bird is associatedwith your feeders, take down thefeeders and clean them,” she said.“It is probably a good idea to keepthe feeders down for two to threeweeks, until the disease has had achance to run its course in the lo-cal population. Allow the bird torecover on its own. Make sure chil-dren, pets and free-ranging catscannot get to the bird.”

Sanchez offered these tips tomake sure your feeders are clean

and free of mold for backyard visi-tors.· Clean your feeders once amonth during low-use times and upto once a week during high-useperiods.· Scrape off bird droppings andrinse or wipe clean the percheswith a solution of 1 part vinegar to20 parts water.· Hang your feeders where thefeed won’t get wet. If seed in afeeder has gotten wet and com-pacted, remove the feed and dis-card it. Then clean the feeder withwarm water and a brush.· Dry the feeder before refillingwith the fresh seed.· If your feeder’s location is likelyto get wet often, only fill it with aone- to two-day supply of seed ata time.· Clean up under feeders regu-larly and prevent accumulation offeed beneath the feeders by mov-ing them occasionally. Seed on theground can attract other animals,such as rodents, that you wouldprefer to not have near your home.
