SOUND OFF www.lagrandeobserver. com

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

SALEM — Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is showing no sign of walking away from a decades-long political career, even though he's been abandonedby most ofhis party's leadership amid influencepeddling allegations surrounding him and his fiancee.

Three senior Democrats on Thursday told the four-term governor, who is under criminal investigation by the attorney general, it was time to step down. The woman who would succeed him described a "strange"meeting after thegovernor summonedherfrom Washington, then asked her why she'd come.

• School's institutional board meets for the first time Board turnover

By Dick Mason The Observer

Itwas ared-letterday in Eastern Oregon University's nearly 86-year history.

The university's new institutional board met Thursday for the first time to discuss bylaws and begin planning how to lead Eastern once it gains governing authority.

No bugles or drums sounded, still the magnitude of the moment was not lost on the 14 board members present.

'This is an opportunity to really shape the future of the university. The year to come will be a very exciting adventure for all of us. The outcomewillbebetterfor EOU," said David Nelson, who was named the board's chairman during Thursday's meeting.

Eastern has been governed by the State Board of Higher SeeBoard / Page 5A

The board will have 15 members, 14 of whom have already been appointed by Gov. John Kitzhaber and confirmed by the state Senate. All 14 were appointed to four-year terms, a concern since it means the board could completely turn over in four years.

SEARCH AND RESCUE

Technology poses some challenges

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

With the advent of GPS and cell phones, many involved in search and rescue believed the need for their services would diminish.

That's not necessarily the case, say J.B. Brock and Capt. Craig Ward, leaders in Union County Search and Rescue.

The growing presence of social media just adds another element to the mix, a takeaway from a Sunday mission in which the SAR team successfully located a missing 13-year-old boy on timberland in the north end of the valley.

About 20 showed up outside the Oregon Rural Action office in La Grande to take selfies and join in on a photo petition, in which single-payer supporters were photographed holding signs in support of Health Care for All Oregon.

Jane Howell, a leader at the event, has been involved with HCAO for several years and said she believes

Howard Roy Naegeli February 18, 1928 — February 4, 2015 Born in Sil-

Nicole Elaine (Taylor) Williams January 2, 1970 — January 27, 2015

A source of strength and inspiration Io all who knew her, Nicole Elaine iTaylorl Williams passed away Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015, at her home in El Dorado Hills, Calif., after a nearly 10-year battle with breast cancer.

A loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Nicole was born Jan. 2, 1970, in La Grande, Oregon and graduated from Oregon State University in 1993 with a bachelor of science in merchandising management. Nicole married her husband, Jonathan, in 2003 and gave birth Io their son, Alexander, in 2004.

Nicole was diagnosed with breast cancer the Friday of Memorial Day weekend in 2005. She has been a daily inspiration Io her husband, family and friends, for her strength, perseverance, courage, kindness and the love she shared with those who knew her. Despite her diagnosis, she was determined Io live her life Io the fullest, and with no regrets. Nicole attacked the cancer with all of her strength and intelligence — learning so much about the disease and treatment that she inspired even her oncologists. She fought the disease with the most aggressive of treatments, and made so many sacrifices in doing so, which those of us who loved her believed gave us the gift of her presence for as long as we had her. She traveled with her husband and son relentlessly, calling the disease "the gift of perspective" as she never waited for the "right time" Io do the things she wanted Io do. If someone can live a lifetime in nearly 10 years, Nicole set a pretty good standard in doing so. Those who loved her were blessed Io know her and will miss her every day.

Nicole is survived by her husband, Jonathan Williams; son, Alexander; father and mother, Merton and Joyce iPceplesl Taylor; sister and brother-in-law, Lynne and Doug Smith; brother and sister-in-law, David and Laurann Taylor; and countless dear friends. A celebraIion of Nicole's life will be held at I p.m. Monday, Feb. 16, 2015, at Wilhelm's Portland Memorial Funeral Home, 6705 S.E. 14th Ave., Portland.

No public servant has given more to Oregon.

And there is another side. He is a friend. He is a son. He is a brother.

He is a father. He is a human being. It is all of these things for which I hope he is remembered.

I hope all of these things are his legacy."

STATETREASURER TED WHEELER "It is with deep sadness thatI ask Governor John Kitzhaber to resign his position as Governor of Oregon. He has accomplishedmany great things during his long career, and history will be kinder to him than current events suggest. Unfortunately, the current situation has become untenable, and I cannot imagine any scenario by which things improve."

SECRETARY OF STATE KATE BROWN "Late Tuesday afternoon, I received a call from the governor while I was in Washington, D.C., at a Secretaries of State conference.

He asked me to come back to Oregon as soon as possible to speak with him in person and alone. I got on a plane and arrived at 3:40 in the afternoon. I was escorted directly into a meeting with the governor. It was a brief meeting.

He asked me why I came back early from Washington, D.C., which I found strange. I asked him what he wanted to talk about. The governor told me he was not resigning, after which, he began a discussion about transition. This is clearly a bizarre and unprecedented situation.

I informed the governor that I am ready, and my staff will be ready, should he resign. Right now I am focused on doing my job for the people of Oregon."

last week, the governor met separately with legislative leaders on Tuesday.

He told KGW that he wanted to discuss how his presence would affect the legislative agenda.

Senate President Peter Courtney and House Speaker Tina Kotek, both Democrats, declined to say what was discussed, but Courtney indicated his was a difficult meeting.

"That was not a hi, how are you' meeting," said Courtney, who, like Kitzhaber, isamong the state's most enduring political figures."I'm not smooth today, I'm not cool today. I don't have the nice cookie cutterpressrelease statement today."

A fiercely prIvate person, Kitzhaberhas been forced to answer embarrassing and personal questions about his relationship.

Brown's abrupt and unexplained return to Oregon sparked speculation that Kitzhaber planned to quit. Hours later, Kitzhaber issued a statement saying he would stay put. It was not clear why Kitzhaber changed his mind.

"Let mebe asclear as I was last week, that I have no intention of resigning as governorofthestate of Oregon," Kitzhaber said in a statement."I was elected to do ajob for the peopleofthis great state and I intend to continue to do so."

The governortold KGW that he asked Brown, a Democrat, to return from Washington so he could tell her he was not resigning.

Newspaper editorial boards and Republican political operatives have been criticizing Kitzhaber and calling for him to leave office over allegations that his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, used his office to land contracts for her consulting business.

She's accused of advocating policies that she was paid to promote.

Hayes has been under

increasing scrutiny since October, when a series of reports chronicled her work for organizations with an interest in Oregon public policy, which came as she served as an unpaid adviser in the governor's office.

The focus led Hayes to revealthat sheaccepted about

$5,000 to illegally marry an immigrant seeking immigration benefits in the 1990s. Later, she acknowledged purchasing a remote property with the intent to illegally grow marijuana.

Kitzhaber, meanwhile, has denied wrongdoing, saying he and Hayes took stepstoavoid confl ictsof interest. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum has launched a criminalinvestigation.

Kitzhaberwas re-elected by a wide margin in ¹ vember,easily defeating Republican state Rep. Dennis Richardson.

By the time she was 29, she was a twice-divorced graduate student at Evergreen State College.

She supported herself in partwith the proceeds of an illegal sham marriage to an Ethiopian immigrant in 1997. Last year, she acknowledged buying property in rural Washington statefora potoperation in 1997 but said the grow effort never materialized.

In 1998, while trying to escapea relationship she described as abusive, she went to her boyfriend's house carrying a stun gun.

He beat her with it, according to court records. Hayes packed up her belongings and moved to central Oregon.

She set up an environmental nonprofit and in 2002 was the Democratic nominee for a legislative district in Bend. She met Kitzhaber in the waning days ofhis second term as governor when he campaigned for her.

Hayes lost her race.

Kitzhaber left office at the beginning of 2003 and announced days later that he and his wife were divorcing.

Later, he and Hayes reconnected, and their relationship became romantic.

"I don't think it factors in too much," Robinson said, "but obviously this is a business.

With the running back position being so devalued, I think he wants to be paid like the heartbeat of the team, which he should be.

"He knows that he has the leverage. He knows that he's the best back in the league.

He knows he's a difference maker not only on the field but off the field."

So will he return?

"C'mon, man, it's Marshawn," Robinson said, meaning one never knows for certain what Lynch is thinking."Has he had enough football? You can't ask him that right after the season because your body is telling you yes. Right now you just have to let him wait it out, see how the offseason goes, let him get his body right again and then you will see if he wants to come back or not."

Former Seattle Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson spoke with Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch and confirmed that Lynch isn't sure whether he wants to continue playing. eMy bet would be that he plays next year in Seattle," Robinson said Thursday during a 710 ESPN Seattle radio interview.eI don't think Marshawn knows yet. I don't know what the timeline is. It's probably going to be a feel thing and we'll just see like everybody else."

Lynch held out of training camp last summer for eight days before getting changes in the structure ofhis contract, which has one year remaining at $7 million in 2015.

"I don't think he knew whether he was going to play last year until almost training camp," Robinson said."Marshawn is getting to a point in his life where he may want to enjoy other things that are important to him."

After speaking with Lynch, Robinson said Lynch also is considering retiring because

OREGON IN BRIEF Erom wire reports

No snow for Bend WinterFest games BEND — A sign of how little snow has fallen this winter: At the annual Oregon WinterFest this weekend in Bend's Old Mill District, there won't be any ski or snowboard competitions.

In previous years, event organizers have trucked in hundreds of cubic yards of snow fiom Mount Bachelor to lay down a base for the events.

This year, the Bulletin newspaperreportsthattheorganizers have announced that given the sorry state of the snowpack and the moderate amount of snow in the forecast, it's not possible to hold the competitions responsibly.

Senators want drone memos released ByAndrew Cievenger WesCom News Service

WASHINGTON — Oregon's U.S. senators weighed in Wednesday on lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and The New York Times, urging the court to require the Obama administration to release its legal justification for lethal drone strikes.

Both the ACLU and the Times requested the legal justifications produced by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Council under the Freedom of Information Act in 2011. The following year, after the administrationrefused to release the opinions and memos, citing FOIA exemptions designedtoprotectnational security, the organizations sued in federal court. The court required the release of some legal opinions, but sided with the government against releasing all of the requested documents.

The ACLU and Times have appealed that ruling.

Four senators, including Oregon Democrats Ron W yden and JeffMerkl ey, filed an amicus brief in the case Wednesday, calling for the documents to be made public. An amicus brief, sometimes called a friend ofthecourt"brief,allows interestedpartieswho are notinvolved in a case to offer their input.

The brief maintains that because the government released some documents to support its claims that it may unilaterally conduct deadlydrone strikesagainst U.S. citizens without first

to release the documents, and has filed amicus briefs in other cases as well, said spokesman Keith Chu. "There's obviously more that needs to be done, which is why he's pursuing several avenues simultaneously," Chu said.

Merkley spokeswoman Martina McLennan said Merkley believes that all Americans have the right to know how the law is being interpreted and applied when it comes to their rights.

'This case provided a unique opportunity to seek disclosure of the legal analysis that is governing whether or not the government can targetAmerican citizens with drones and, if so, under what circumstances," she said."By lending his voice as a senatorto theamicus brief he can add further weight and supporttothelegalcase forsecretlaw tobeappropriately declassified and disclosed."

The Department of Justice did not respond to requests forcomment forthisarticle.

In May 2009, Obama gave a speech on national security at the National Archives, saying Whenever we cannot release certain

giving them a trial, it can't argueagainsttherelease of additional documents because they contain some information not in the previous disclosures. This would allow the government to pick and choose what information it provided to the public, possibly cherrypicking the documents that put the targeted killing program in the best light, the senators argued.

"Having launched a public relations campaign to buildsupportforitsdrones program, the Executive Branch's assertions that it must maintain the confidentiality of the OLC Memos should be carefully scrutinized, lest the courts inadvertently authorize the very type of selectivedisclosures that FOIA was intended to prevent," the briefreads.

Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., joined Wyden and Merkley in submitting the amicus brief.

In various ways, all of the senators have called upon the administration to release additional information about its justification for its targeted killing program for years, sometimes in letters to the executive branch. Wyden threatened to block the nomination of CIA Director John Brennan in February 2013 unless the administration shared certain OLC memos with Congress, and Paul filibustered on the Senate floor for 13 hours a month later to draw attention to the drone issue.

Wyden has directly urged the administration

information to the public for valid national security reasons, I will insist that there is oversight of my actions, by Congress or the courts."

In a prepared release, ACLU Deputy Legal Director Jameel Jafer said the drone memos should be made public.'While the government has a legitimate interest in protecting intelligence sources and methods, it has no legitimate interest in creatinga body ofsecret law. As the senators rightly point out, the secrecy surrounding the drone program makes it impossible for the public to assess the lawfulness of one of the government's most controversial national security policies."

The FOIA requests and subsequent lawsuits came afteratleastthreeU.S. citizens were killed in drone strikes in Yemen in 2011, although The New York Times reported that only one, Anwar al-Awlaki, was specifically targeted. Samir Khan, a magazine editor fiom North Carolina, was inadvertently killed in the strike that killed al-Awlaki, and two weeks later, al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son Abdulrabman was also

killed.

WIRE BRIEFING Nation & World News

Peace deal reached for eastern Ukraine MINSK, Belarus — The peace deal reached Thursday for Ukraine, if it holds, would be a partial win for both Moscow and Kiev: Ukraine retains the separatisteastern regions and regainscontrol ofitsborder with Russia, while Russiaholds strong leverage to keep Ukraine from ever becoming part of NATO. But neither side came away fromthemarathon talks unscathed.

There's no sign Russia will soon escape the Western sanctions that have driven its economy down sharply, and Kiev's priceforregaining control of the border with Russia is to grant significant new power to the east.

But the complicated calculus of whether any side came out truly ahead can't be determined unless a single, straightforward term is fulfilled: halting the shooting and artillery salvos that have killed more than 5,300 people since April. That is supposed to happen on Sunday,at one minute after midnight.

A cease-fire called in September never fully took hold and fighting escalated sharply in the past month.

Questions remain about whether either side possesses the will or discipline to ensure a truce this time.

Egyptian court orders journalists freed CAIRO — A court ordered two Al-Jazeera journalists freed on bail Thursday after more than a year in detention on terrorism charges in a case that human rights groups have called a sham.

If authorities aim to eventuallyexonerate Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamm ed, thei r strategy for doing so remains murky and slow as they apparently seek a face-saving way out of a legalprocessthathasdrawn international criticism of Egyptian justice.

A solution was found for a third Al-Jazeera defendant, Australian Peter Greste, when he was deported two w eeks ago to hisgreatrelief.

But Thursday's decision indicated the court was moving ahead with a retrial of Fahmy and Mohammed.

The decis ion torelease Fahmy and Mohammed broughttears ofjoy and relief by their relatives in the Cairo courtroom.

Al-Jazeera called the decision"a small step in the right direction" butsaid thecourt should dismiss "this absurd case" and release both journalists unconditionally. The trial's next session is set for Feb. 23.

'American Sniper' trial begins STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Police video played in court Thursday showed a former Marine telling officers investigatingthedeaths of two men including"American Sniper" author Chris Kyle that he had "taken a couple of souls" and had more to take.

The recording shows police in Lancaster, near Dallas, trying to coax Eddie Ray Routh from a pickup in the hours after famed Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were found dead at a shooting

range in February 2013.

Offrcers in the video are seen trying to talk Routh into surrendering as he makes comments such as, "Anarchy has been killing the world."

"He told us he'd taken a couple of souls and he had more souls to take," Lancaster police Lt. Michael Smith testified Thursday.

Defense attorneys have said Routh, 27, was insane when Kyle and Littlefield took him to a shooting range to provide support and camaraderie.

Routh believed the men planned to kill him, his attorneys say. Routh faces life in prison without parole if convicted.

ing veto by President Barack Obama of a Republicanchampioned bill foreshadows a key question for the White House: whether the president and Republicans can find areas to work together, even as Obama strikes down many of their top priorities.

Since Republicans won full control of Congtess tlnee months ago, Obama has issued a flurryofveto threats to Republican bills. Obama hasn't had to make good on those tlneats, but now a bill forcing approval of the Keystone XL pipeline is headed to his desk Although Obama's intentions to reject the Keystone bill are well known, the veto nevertheless marks a turning point in Obama's presidency, as hebraces to fend offan onslaught of GOP attempts to reverse actions he has taken.

"This upcoming veto could serveto crystalizethe situation on Capitol Hill," said Jim Manley, a former top adviser to SenateDemocratic leader Harry Reid."Either Republicans are going to have to figure out a way to compromise, or they're not going to be able to get anything done the next two years."

That's critical, Manley and otherDemocrats said,because Republicans eyeing the 2016 elections need to show they can govern successfully when in power.

The Keystone bill, passed by the House on Wednesday on a 270-152 vote, capped weeks of debate on an infrastruct ure projectthat

'The more public attention it gets, the better," said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., a staunch Keystone supporter.

White House officiais haven't yet decided whether Obama will veto the bill in private and announceitin a simple statement, or whether he11do itpublidyin grander fashion, a move that would show defiance against Republican attempts to undercut him. Duringhis administration, President Bill Clinton took that approach when he vetoed a tax-cutbillin the Rose Garden, serenaded by a brass band.

"For us, this is not filled with a lotofdrama oranticipation becausethepresident' sviews on this are well known,"White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in an interview. eWe're mostlyinterested in not lettingtheseareasofdisagreementbecome obstacles for working together with Congress on other issues" such as trade, taxreform and a war powers resolution.

Republicans declared their top priority after they took control of Congress. A group of 24 Republican governors wroteto Obama on Thursday urging him not to veto the bill.

Althoughit's been sixyears since the oil pipeline was proposed, Obama has said the US. is still deternnning whether it's in the national interest. He vowed to veto any attempts bylawmakers to usurp his authority to make the call.

Republicans, emboldened after having passed a bill they never could get through a Democratic-run Senate, planned a triumphant signing ceremony at the Capitol on Friday. Yet GOP leaders were expected to wait to send the bill to the White House until after lawmakers return fiom their recess later this month.

That way, when Obama vetoes the bill, Republicans will be on hand to blast the presidentfor nixing a project they say will spur jobs and economic growth.

Idaho Power Co.'s annual survey of fall chinook salmon nests (also known as oreddsnl in the Snake River and several tributaries below Hells Canyon Dam showed a record high total.

Idaho Power and cooperating agency and tribal biologists conduct the survey each fall.

Snake River fall chinook returning from the Pacific Ocean lay their eggs in shallow gravel nests. Counting these redds is one way to monitor the health of the fish population.

Idaho Power biologists count the redds in the roughly 100-mile reach of the Snake River from Hells Canyon Dam to Asotin, Washington. Many of the tributaries entering the Snake Riverare surveyed by biologistsfrom the Nez Perce Tribe and Washington Department of Fisheries.

The 2014 survey, finished in December, identified 2,808 redds in the Snake River — the third-highest total since intensive surveying began in 1991.

In the Clearwater River, 3,078 redds were counted. Other tributaries — the Grande Ronde,Imnaha and Salmon rivers— added smalleramounts, resulting in a total count of 6,373.

Some redds were undoubtedly missed, due to weather conditions that prevented some helicopter flights, and muddy conditions in some of the tributaries later in the season, Idaho Power biologists said in a press release Even so, the record number is a good sign for the salmon, biologists said.

More information about Idaho Power's fall chinook program is available online at https://www.idahopower. com/OurEnvironment/FishAquatic/ Chinook/default.cfm

Bald Eagle Count In addition to the chinook nest count, Idaho Power biologists during January madetheiryearly one-day censusofbald eagles along the three reservoirs in Hells Canyon: Brownlee, Oxbow and Hells Canyon.

Idaho Power's survey is part of a nationwideeffortto keep track ofbald eagles, which were removed from the listofendangered speciesin 1995.

Biologists counted 48 bald eagles, about average for a year without heavy snow.

The day of the survey was foggy, as well, which made it more difficult to see the birds.

During years with heavy snow, the number ofdead deer,a favorite food for eagles, tends to be higher, which concentrateseagles near the reservoirs.

Overall, the Hells Canyon bald eagle population has been relatively stable in thepast several years,biologists sard.

They also counted seven golden eagles during the one-day survey.

Grande Mat Club iLGMCl won its second straight state title in the Oregon USA Wrestling State Championships Feb. 7-8 in Portland.

More than 1,200 wrestlers, ages5 to 15,com peted, representingmost sections of Oregon.

La Grande Mat Club sent 26 wrestl ers tocompete as individualsand for the overall team championship.

Coaches Walt Anderson, Jason Kehr, Dalton Sheets, Klel Carson and Matt Wolcott led the 13 individual state placers "This team is the best in Oregon once again, and we are still getting better," Sheets said."It's hard to say how many championships we can win in a row." eWrestling is quickly turning into La Grande's sport," said Geoff Robinson, LGMC president."Everywhere our team goes, we are the team to beat.Ilovetosee the white and blue crowds pile up around our wrestlers as they are headed out to the mat. It's almost like they have an entourage. I have no doubt that our wrestlers feel like the toughest guys in the room before the matches even start."

LGMC put five wrestlers in the finals for a chance at becoming individual state champions.

First up was Jerrick Leonard, a 45-pounder who competes in the Pee-Wee division.

After pinning his way all the way to the finals, Jerrick faced Kash Davis from Redmond.

Despite a well-fought match, Leonard was caught

by Davis in a tight pinning combination. Leonard finished second.

"Jerrick fought hard but just got caught in a tough position," Kehr said."He wrestled like a champion, regardless."

Next up, Shaun Musgrove of LGMC battled Preston Duke of Prineville for the 70-pound Bantam crown.

Musgrove clung to a 2-1 lead late in the third and final round. In a last ditch effort, Duke would get the final takedown to take home the championship, with

Cleaver took his defensive style into the third round clinging to a 1-0 lead. Paustian would aggressively take shots on Cleaver throughout the third round with Cleaver defending each attempt.

With time running out Paustian got a deep shot in on Cleaver, but again Cleaver's defensive style overcame the attack and he ended up on top to finish the match with a 3-1 victory.

"Cleaverhad to wrestle flawlessly to beat Logan, and that's what he did," Sheets said. "Logan wrestled with a lot of heart and just came up short."

Carson, who is also the La Grande High School varsity wrestling coach, said he was excited to watch the youngsters compete. ''When you have three wrestlers in the final rounds all competing at the same time, and you don't have enough coaches to go around, that's a good problem," Carson said. "It took everywrestlerathis bestto make this state championship a reality. All the hard work paid ofK We took 26 kids to state and had 14 placers. That's unbeliev-

"It took our entire wrestling family to make this championship a reality," Geoff Robinson said.

BACKCOUNTRY Continued from Page1C The race has a disco theme with prizes for the winners and best-dressed racers.

An avalanche companion rescue clinic led by Hatch, who is a member of the Wallowa Avalanche Center's board of directors and its forecaster/education coordinator, will begin at 10 a.m.

This clinic will focus on proper use of avalanche gear — beacon, shovel, and probe — and how to organize and carry out an effective and efficient companion rescue.

If there is additional interest, Hatch and other EOU faculty in the afternoon will spend time in the Anthony Lakes backcountry demonstrating skills and tests useful in identifying unstable layers and their subsequent sensitivity to human triggering.

On Sunday, skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to self-organize trips to the backcountry of Anthony Lakes to explore the Elkhorn Mountains in winter. eWe are looking forward to this year's festival and hoping to raise money for the EOU Outdoor Program, as well as provide a fun event for local and regional backcountry skiers and snowboarders," Hatch said.

MEASLES Continued from Page6C Union County is even higher, with numbers closer to 95 percent.

February is when student immunization records are checked,and lettersare sent home to parents whose child isn't up-to-date. The same check is performed at child care facilities and preschool programs.

The list includes 11 vaccinations: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, varicella ichicken

pox) and Hib. Exclusion Day is Feb. 18 — on that day, any students who are not current on immunizations will have to go home, and can't return until they are fully immunized or have completed the exemption process.

"The goal is to make sure kids can go to school in a healthy environment that is freeofvaccine-preventable diseases," de Assis Matthews sald.

Immunizations are available at the county health departments, orparents can call their health care provider.

Measles The Baker County Health Department, in light of the recent measles cases, has specific information about the disease compiled by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.

SYMPTOMS Measles is an acute, highly contagious, potentially serious viral disease characterized by fever and widespread rash.

Symptoms generally appear in two stages. The first stage can include a runny nose, cough and slight fever. The eyes may become reddened and sensitive to light, while the fever rises each day.

The second stage begins on the third to seventh day, and includes fevers as high as105 and a red rash lasting four to sevendays.The rash usually beginsonthefaceand then spreads over the entire body. Koplik's spots (little white spots) may also appear on the gums and inside of cheeks.

Symptoms usually appear in 10 to 12 days, although they may occur as early as 8 or as late as18 days after exposure.

An individual is contagious from four days before to four days after rash onset. It's possible for the virus to linger on for an hour or two after the patient has left the vicinity.

THE VACCINE Children are able to receive their first dose of measles/ mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine between 12 and 15 months of age and another dose at kindergarten.

In Oregon, two doses of measles vaccination, given at least four weeks apart, have been required for school children since1998. Unvaccinated children and teachers may be excluded from school in the presence of vaccinepreventable diseases.

MEASLES INTHE U.S. The CDC reports that the last major measles outbreak in the Unites States was in 1989-1991 with more than 55,000 cases reported and more than 120 measles-related deaths.

From 2000 to 2012,17 cases of measles were reported in Oregon — an average of 1.3cases per year. Since then, we have had12cases: 6in 2013,5 in 2014and1 in January 2015 — 8in persons unvaccinated against measles, 3 in vaccinated persons and1 with no documentation of vaccination against measles.

Gloria Schott was 3-V2 when she started tripping and falling often.

And she had flu-like symptoms.

It was 1946.

The doctor diagnosed Schott with polio and immediately put her in isolation.

A stranger drove her from her hometown of Weiser, Idaho, to St. Luke's Hospital in Boise.

She said doctors didn't know how to treat polio, and at the hospital the nurses rolled her in steaming wool.

"I have claustrophobia because of it," says Schott, who now lives in Baker City.

In her hospital room she laid with her head against the wall. When she screamed for her parents, a patient on the other side of the wall told her to be quiet.

That mystery voice was deep,and 3-year-old Gloria said it was her boyfriend.

When she was able to leave the room — crawling — she found the person who belonged to the voice. It was a young woman in an Iron Lung, which helped polio

HEALTH TIP

Take heart medicines asdirected by doctor

Healthy eating presentation coming Feb.23

If you have heart disease, you may need to take several medicines to protect your heart and your health. Each medicine must be taken the right way — or exactly as prescribed. Taking a variety of medicines can be challenging. That's why it is so important to follow these four guidelines: 1. Be sure you know what each medicine is for, when to take it and how to take it.

2. Take your medicines at the same time each day.You might choose to schedule taking your medicine with a daily event, such as brushing your teeth.

3. Get organized. Consider using a pillbox to help you keep track.

4. Stay in touch with your doctor. Don't stop taking medicine without your doctor's OK, even ifyou feel fine Conversely, ifyou don't thinkyour medicine is making a difference, alert your doctor and ask why.

Youth sports coaches, parents, teachers and athletes are invited to a free presentation about healthyeating and snacking.

Top trainers, including the Oregon State University head football trainer, OSU sports dietician and Eastern Oregon University coaches will give free tips on fueling for optimal performance. For more information, contact Patty Herron or Carole Smith with OSU Extension at 541-963-1010.

Picture Don Ri ckles as a bow<ied puppet R ottweiler with a cigar dangling from h i s his mouth and you have a handle on the co-s<ar of the new comedy series "The Jack

and Triumph Show."

The series, which premieres Friday, Feb. 20, as part of the Adult Swim p rogramming block on C artoon N e t w o r k , stars Jack McBrayer ("30 Rock") as Jack, a former child star of a "Lassie"-type series that ran in the 1980s and '90s. After the

series was canceled, his canine co-s<ar Triumph spiraled downward into t r o uble

and brought Jack along with him. Now 15 years later, Jack has gotten away from show business and cleaned up his life. Then Triumph shows up on his doorstep.

The series is shot in m u l t i - camera format, offering a mix of scrip<ed scenes and remo<es like those the character did o n shows ranging from " L ate N i ght W i t h C onan O ' B r i en" <o the Westminster D o g Show.

A< a recent gathering of TV c r i t ics in Pasadena, Calif., series creator and wr i t er

Robert Smigel ("Sa<urday Night Live," "Conan") as Triumph broke up the crowd a< a post-lunch Qs'A session with a slew of often profane jokes directed a< the audience, proving that insult comedy is still indeed alive.

"People kind of m ake an assumption that Triumph j ust rushes up <o people in t hese remo<es and assaults them," S m i g el

explains. "I actually always ask people in advance before we pu< the camera in their face, ' Do you guys mind i f w e h u r t

your feelings?'
