CHILD CARE COSTS AMONG NATION'S • La Grande City C ouncil to consider moratoriumat next council meeting in January What's

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

The La Grande City Council sent the ordinance establishing a moratorium on marijuana facilities to its second reading at Wednesday night's city council meeting. City Planner Mike Boquist said the marijuana facility ordinance recently passed by the city council was rushed due to time constraints and does not address many of the issues that may arise due to the Nov. 4 passage of recreational marijuana. Boquist said the marijuana regulation ordinance was taken from rules similar to thosethe state created. oWe don't have regulations addressing grow sites," Boquist said."If someone were to grow marijuana plants, then there's a concern about mold or health issues that could come from that for the owner or their neighbors."

IleXt? The council will have the second reading of the ordinance Jan. 14 and must have a unanimous vote to declare an emergency to enact the moratorium, according to City Planner Mike Boquist.

OTEC has announced it will remove the three meters the Lions Club and Island City use for Hog Wild Days electrical sites.

But the coaches did much more than build resumes. They leR and are leaving the people involved in their programs ready to meet the challenges oflife with grace, dignity and a can-do spirit. The Cinderella season for the EOU volleyball team, making its first appearance at nationals, ended with a loss to Biola in the quarterfinals. However, the team's accomplishment was much greater. The squad was crowned as the NAIA Champions of Character, an honor bestowed on just one of the 24 teams at the tournament. OKcials cited the team's involvement in a Special Olympics clinic held in Sioux City and were especially complimentary of the way the coaches and players conducted themselves throughout the tournament. McLean-Morehead said her team goes about competition the right way. They thank the oKcials, ball retrievers and other volunteers for all they do. Thank yousgo a long way, McLean-Morehead said. It was the way she played (she graduated from EOU in 2004) and now sets as an example for her players. The coach did not stomp her feet, pound her fist or go into histrionics on the bench, writes Tim Gallagher in an article about EOU in the Sioux City (Iowa) Journal. The players never questioned calls or called out a teammate for a mistake. In short, they played with graciousness, and made a strong impression on officials and fans alike. A 2004 EOU graduateand former playerherself, McLean-Morehead became head coach at age 23 and coached EOU for four years. Now she is completing her second four-year stint and is the school's career leader in volleyball victories. The program continues to head in the right direction, building women of character. Miller took over the LHS wrestling program in 1974 andby 1978 led theTigers to their firststate wrestling championship. Miller's team won another state title in 1996, and he coached through 1997. He knew the hard work, discipline and incremental improvements it takes to Wlll.

But his main focus was never winning. It was about turning boys into men who would be good sons, husbands, fathers and community members. Players on McLean-Morehead's and Miller's teams learned and are learning far more about succeeding in life than in sports. And that's as it should be.

To the Editor: In a recent My Voice column, Judges Russ West and Brian Dretke attempt to make the case for a new one-story courthouse that would require the destruction of the relatively new Shelter From the Storm building. Although Union County certainly needs the new courthouse, their rationale in this column just doesn't make sense to a reasonable, fiscally responsible person. Somehow, courthouses across the state, most of them two or more stories, have managed security, effic iency,and costtopresent adignified focal point for the community with integrity. Also, the judges have not included an explanation of why financially responsible alternatives are not workable. In fact, soon tobeformer commissioner Rosholt admitted in court that they did not doacomparative costanalysisof alternatives. The judges desire a new courthouse building, built for that specific purpose. They apparently fail to recognize that the shelter's operations are equally complex, and their building was built for thatspecifi cpurpose ata costofalm ost a half million dollars. SFS cannot simply be moved to a new office," without a significant loss of essential services, any more than the courtscan operate effectively in their Joseph Building office." A community's trust in a"sense of order and equal justice under the law" is dangerously damaged with this lack of fi scalresponsibility and disregard for those in our community who need the services provided by SFS. Our community would have a difficult time taking pride in a courthouse built in such a financially irresponsible and unethical manner as this one appears to be. Yes, we need a new courthouse. No, we don't need to get it this way. Our community wants viable, ethical and financially responsible alternatives: One county commissioner lost his seat over the way the new courthouse operation has been handled, and another commissioner, running unopposed, lost 21 percentofhisvote to a lastm inute write-in candidate. These results are clearly not a vote of confidence in the current plan. Our tax dollars, and our community, deserveabettersolution.

Barry: County oNcials' performance abysmal

To the Editor: We should all be delighted that funding has arrived for the new courthouse. Unfortunately, too many important questions remain unanswered. Why must Union County have the only one-story courthouse in Oregon? Judges Russ West and Brian Dretke insist"A itwo-storyl courthouse requires a minimum of two elevators for public and prisonersand athird elevatorfor court staff and judges."Why would they say that? The Oregon Judicial Department has no specific requirements for elevators. The 20 small counties with only one courthouse elevator report no security problems. The counties with more than two courthouse elevators servepopulations of350,000 to 544,000. Only one courthouse has a separate Denise Stone elevatorforjudges;one hasa designated La Grande stairway. At least Judge Dretke has

abandoned his "million dollar elevator maintenance" fantasy. But this isn't about two-story buildings and elevators. It's about public trust. Too many opportunities for open, honest communication have been lost. If the county commissioners and judges had ever thought to collaborate with the public during the planning process, community turmoil and anger could have been avoided. Several otherfeasible sitesforthecourthouse exist on the county campus; county officials have refused to consider them. After you make a bad decision, there's nothing wrong with changing your mind. Reasonable people do it all the time. For months our elected officials have justified their hasty decision by repeating the same prepared statements. That doesn't make them true and doesn't make them right. The judges refer to "integrity." Pillars and a Disneyland bell tower don't represent integrity. Safeguarding the SFS AdvocacyCenter,thepeopleitserves and the $378,000 of federal money that built it, that's integrity. Admitting that other sensible plans exist, like demolishing the aging Joseph Annex or building the new courthouse beside the SFS Center, would be integrity. The Oregon Judicial Department's stated goal is "earning enduring public trust and confidence." To date, the performance of our commissioners and judges in that regard has been abysmal. Three months remain before groundbreaking for the new courthouse, ample time to initiate constructive dialogue and to make positive changes. Lois Barry La Grande

Hill: Serviceman grateful for show of thanks To the Editor: I put on the shirt and pants of my World War II uniform "sun tans" and wore them to church. I received a few comments, but after church, the three of us went out to Denny's for lunch and several people acknowledged the uniform and thanked me for my service. When I went to the cashier to pay for our lunch, I was told that someone had already paid for our meal. I guess they paid as they left, for whoever it was, was gone, and I had no chance to thank them, or even know who they were. So, whoever you are, "thank you." Fred Hill La Grande

COUNCIL Continued from Page1A the city council for consideration on the moratorium matter included articles talking about health hazards of indoor grow sites. No one testified for or against enacting the moratorium at the city council meeting. Boquist said as long as the council is actively amending codes in the ordinance to regulate the marijuana facilities, it can extend the moratorium three times for six months each. The council will have the second reading of the ordinance Jan. 14 and must have a unanimous vote to declare an emergency to enact the moratorium, according to Boquist. The first set of regulations from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission will

not come out until January 2016. People are able to consume the product legally beginning July 1. Additionally, the council approved a $1.5 million streetscape project that will focus on Adams Avenue, Fourth Street and some of Jefferson Avenue and is intended to replace the sidewalks along these streets. However, members of the council are not happy with the area this project is focused on. Mayor Daniel Pokorney was opposed to thechosen location oftheproject. eWe're not asking the business owners what they think," Pokorney said. "Some of them are struggling and would love a new sidewalk." Jerry Sebestyen said this is the area through which drivers tend to enter town and it needs to look good. 'This is our living room," Sebestyen sald.

Sebestyen also said this is an ongoing project and other businesses may eventually get the new sidewalk. Pokorney said business owners should've been consulted before designing theproject. eWe should have had public hearings and asked the owners what they wanted," Pokorney said. City Manager Robert Strope said the timeline for redesigning the project to a different area in town would delay the project by atleastayear. Pokorney said that would give the council enough time to hold public meetings. The financial agreement is a 20-year loan with a maximum average interest of 5 percent.

attending school at Willow, Greenwood Elementary and La Grande High School under a preliminary plan the school district is considering adopting. The changes will be necessary in part because the school district will switch from a half-day to a full-day kindergarten program in 2015-16, said La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze. Willow does not have the space needed to accommodate a full-day kindergartenprogram soadditional locations will be needed for classrooms. Kindergartners who live in the Greenwood attendance area will attend Greenwood in 2015-16. The school will have room for them because two kindergartenclassrooms will be built at Greenwood next summer with money from the $31.85 million bond levy for maintenance and capital construction La Grande School District voters approved in November. The bond will also fund the construction of kindergarten classrooms at Island City El-

The Island City classrooms will not be completed until about the fall of 2016, and the new Central building will not be finished until mid-2017, according to a preliminary school timeline, meaning temporary adjustments must be made toaccommodate kindergarten students in the Central and Island City zones in the interim.

He noted that a number ofparents objected when the district's sixth graders were moved &om grade schools to La Grande Middle School several years ago. Glaze said he believes that any concerns parents have could be alleviated by explaining to them that their children would be kept separate from high school students and that in many ways would be connected to Central. He noted that the students would eat lunch at Central and go there for recess.

AT A GLANCE

Westbrook leads Thunder OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers found out before Thursday's game that they would be without LeBron James. They couldn't have found a less sympathetic opponent. Oklahoma City, which struggled without injured stars Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant the first month of the season, took advantage of the shorthanded Cavaliers with a 103-94 victory. James sat out with left knee soreness, and without him, Cleveland's winning streak ended at eight games.

LAS VEGAS — Asthe 2014 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo reached it's halfwaypointon Monday night, it's somewhat surprising that there have only been two changes in the world standingsover the pastthree nights. However, every event except the bareback riding has seen a change in the leaders for the WNFR title, and there has beenthree different leaders in the steer wrestling and the barrel racing. The final fi ve rounds are where the world champions

beginto separate themselves, but unfortunately for former BMCC cowboy and Pendleton Round-Up and Farm City ProRodeo champion, Steven Peebles of Redmond, his WNFR is over. In the third go-round his horse reared and compressedhis thoracicspine,as well as breaking off a piece of bone. There's good news for Trevor Knowles of Mount Vernon, though, and he is climbing back into the hunt. He had dropped as low as fourth in the world standings but with his second-place fin-

ish of 3.9 seconds in Round 5 he trails world leader Luke Branquinho by less than

$6,000. Branquinho of Los Alamos, California, is in search ofhis fifth world title and does lead the aggregate at 19.1 seconds on five runs. Knowles is ninth after the disastrous first-round run. Former Farm City champion Curtis Cassidy won the fifth go in 3.3 seconds. Former world champion bareback rider, Justin McDaniel of Porum, Oklahoma, is the only contestant to maintain his aggregate

"But a win is a win, especially early in the season when we're still trying to work out a few kinks." Boyd also said he was unhappy with the team's performance in the first three quarters. aWe started out a little terrible, but we picked it up on defense and showed them we really wanted to win," Boyd sard. Dall led La Grande with 25 points, including a layup just before the halftime buzzer that gave the Tigers a 30-29 lead going into the locker room. "Brandon played well for us tonight," Carollo said."He always gives 110 percent. He needs to improve on defense, but he's always a threat to score." Carollo added that he was impressed with Hively and senior Andrew Kevan fortheireffortshelping the Tigers off the bench.

OREGON IN BRIEF Erom wire reports

Pro-GMO labeling camp concedes defeat SALEM — Proponents of an Oregon ballot measure requiring labels on genetically modified foods conceded defeatThursday after a judge ruled against them and an automatic recount appeared unlikely to sway the outcome. The Yes on 92 campaign saidthere are no legaloptions remaining that could lead them to victory. Measure 92 was defeated by just 812votesoutof 1.5 million, triggering an automatic recount. With two counties left to report their results, both of which opposed the measure in the initial tally, the recount has resulted in a net shift of just 11 votes in favor of the initiative. The proponents said they would continue working toward a labeling requirement for genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, but stoppedshortofpromising a 2016 campaign. The initiative would have required manufacturers, retailers and suppliers to label raw or packaged foods produced entirely or partially by genetic engineering.

Oregon Legislature createspotcommittee SALEM — The Oregon Legislature will have a committeededicated to gettingready forthe voter-approved initiative legalizing marijuana. The Joint Committee on Implementing Measure 91 will be comprised of both House and Senate members. Sen. Ginny Burdick and Rep. Ann Lininger were named the committee's cochairs on Thursday. Measure 91 gave the job of regulating marijuana to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. Lawmakers are likely to discuss issues that include the fate of the medical marijuana system and localtaxation ofpot.

Audit finds problems with welfare software SALEM — An audit finds that a new computer system led the Oregon Department of Human Services to overcharge the federal government by nearly $24 million for child welfare services. The audit was released on Thursday by Secretary of State Kate Brown. The OR-Kids computer system was launched in 2011 to manage foster care, adoption, guardianship and otherservices,replacing old computer systems and paper files. Auditors found that the softwarecaused the state to take more money &om the federal government than it was entitled to. The software also caused inaccurate accounting of state money. The federal money has been refunded. The agency says the computer system is helping caseworkers do their jobs. Olficials are using a workaround to ensure the federal governmentis not overcharged.

Uber: Eugene law doesn't fit

THE OBSERVER — 11A

STATE

By Taylor W. Anderson WesCom News Service

EUGENE — The online taxi business Uber, a company worth billions, is contesting a $2,000 fine issued by the city of Eugene, which says Uber should get a license. The Register-Guard reported Thursday that city lawyers contend Uber fits municipal rules requiring any vehicle that transports a passenger for money to get a"public passenger vehicle" license. It levied the fine last month. Uber takes a cut &om fares collected by private drivers &om passengers who useitsapp.Itsappeal says Uber doesn't operate any "public passenger vehicles," so it isn't governed by the city requirement. The company has been operating in Eugene since July. It's also in legal disputes in Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

SALEM — After consecutive years ofbad wildfire seasonsin Oregon,the state may not get its unique fire insuranceto help cover costs next year. Similar to car insurance, Oregonpays a premium for fire insurance every year. The state then must pay the deductible, which last year was $20 million, before the insurance policy pays for up

to $25 million. Also like car insurance, where premiums go up when drivers have accidents, one thing is clear: If the state can land another policy through insurance giant Lloyd's of London to help with rising wildfire costs, it'sgoing to haveto cut a bigger check. eWe're fully expecting that based on the experience of the last two years that we'll probably be paying more for insurance if we can get a policy in the coming year," Rod Nichols, spokesman for the Oregon Department of Forestry, said Wednesday. The prospect of missing out on wildfire reliefhas rural lawmakers talking about thinning and clearing fuels &om forests and addressing theeffectsofclim ate change. "One of these years we're going to light up Southern Oregon and have a fire season you won't believe," Sen. Alan Bates, D-Medford, said. Oregonhas had a wildfi re insurance policy for nearly four decades. The policy coverspart oftherisingcost of fighting wildfires after the statepays itsdeductible and premium, which was around $2 million last year. Now Department of Forestry officials will have to make the case to Lloyd's thatthe state aggressively fights wildfires and that the last two years were caused by anomalies in dry weather and lightning strikeson state lands. The agency is putting togetherapresentation for Lloyd's to see whether the company will still provide a policy, and that's got lawmakers nervous. Representatives &om Lloyd's weren't immediately available.

Worker dies in Cottage Grove COTTAGE GROVE — A worker who was trapped in machinery died at the Weyerhaeuser sawmill in Cottage Grove. He was identified by the Lane County sheriA"s office as 31-year-old Justin Simons. KVAL reports he was &ee of machinerywhen South Lane County Fire and Rescue arrived Tuesday atternoon but died at the scene of his injuries. The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Agency says Simon was fatally injured in a sawdust conveyer. He was a 7-year employee of the mill.

Man wounded in Portland shooting PORTLAND — Police say a man was critically wounded in a shooting early Thursday in southeast Portland. OIIIcers found the man with multiple wounds before 2 a.m. near an intersection. He was taken to a hospital with life threatening injuries. Sgt. Pete Simpson tells KOIN there's no suspect yet. Police are looking for witnesses. — The Associated Press

By Tom Avril The Philadelphia inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — A summer jobs program for teenagersappears to cutthe rate of violent crime, according to a new study by a University of Pennsylvania researcher. And not because the youths were too busy working to break the law. Those who were randomly chosen to get the eight-week positions were arrestedforviolentoffenses 43 percent fewer times than their peers, and most of that difference occurred during the 13 monthsafterthejobswere finished. The findings by Sara B. H eller, an assistant professor of criminology at Penn, were reported last week in the journal Science. Teens in the study were generally &om lower-income families, and one-fikhofthem had previously been arrested. Heller, who conducted the studyin Chicago in cooperation with the city government, said it was not entirely clear why the summer jobs seemed to have a lingering positive impact after they concluded, at the end of summer in 2012. One factormay have been"soft skills" learned on the job, such as conflict resolutionand self-control, said Heller, who came to Penn &om the University of Chicago in 2013. Each youth was partnered with a mentor, who may have helped teach those skills, she said, calling the results "surprising and really exciting." ''We don't have a lot of successstoriesforreducing violence among disadvantaged youths," she said.

James Rabourne took a step closer to getting back to his roots. But he's hoping in the coming months to receive the good news he's waiting for. The blind Cove resident shot an elk in October in the Catherine Creek Unit, with a little help from a friend.

sight-impaired and legally blind hunters to use laser sights on their rifles is being dropped back into the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee this week, in one of District 58 Rep. Bob Jensen's final motions before giving way to Greg Barreto. If passed, the bill would allow companions to verbally direct the blind hunter's aim — up, down, left, right — but the hunter would ultimately fire the shot. Backed by the Blinded Veterans Association, Rabourne has been lobbying for the bill since 2008, and will testify in favor of it in February. "I never thought I'd be involved in politics. It's way out of my comfort zone, but no one else wanted to doit,"he said. Rabournesaid 16 other states have changed the laws to allow laser sights on rifles, but Oregon is still resisting. The main argument centers around fair chase and the traditions of hunting. "Oregon is just a very antitechnology state," Rabourne said. 'It's kind of sad. If it was passed, it See Hunt /Fbge 2C

SALEM — With trapping seasons under way, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife reminds dog owners to be aware that there could be traps in areas where they walk or hike. Traps may be present on public land, though state regulations require they be seta certain distance from designated trails and public use areas. Traps can also be seton private land by permission of the landowner. Dogs running loose can be accidentally captured in legally set traps, causing injury or even death. Take these steps to keep your dog safe: • Keep your dog on a leash. • Or, keep your dog in sight and under voice commanddon't let your dog wander ofE especially out of sight. • Keep your dog on designated trails and within designated public use areas. Traps m ust be seta certain distance away from these locations. • Remember, lures and baits used by trappers can attract dogs,too. • Understand how to releasea dogfrom a trap. Idaho Fish and Game iwww.fishandgame. idaho.gov/public/hunt/ trappedPetBrochure.pd5 and Alaska Fish and Game iwww.adfg.alaska.gov/index. cfin?adfg=trapping.sharingl have brochures and videos with detailed how-tos. • Carry the appropriate tools icable cutter and length of rope) to be prepared in case you need to release your dog from a trap or snare. Furbearer regulations set restrictions on where trappers may set traps and snares on state and federal lands. Traps may not be set within 50 feet of any designated public trail or within 300 feet of any designated trailhead, public campground or picnic area. It is illegal to disturb or removethetraps orsnares of another person. Individuals thatsee traps they believe are illegally set should not disturbthe trap,butcontact Oregon State Police. OSP can identify the owner of a legally set trap through a unique branding number required on each trap. Oregon has about 1,200 licensedtrappers.Before becominglicensed,trappersin Oregon must pass an education course that deals with topics like wildlife identification, trappingethics,and setting traps to catch target animals. Mosttrapping seasons opened Nov. 15 or Dec. 1 and end Feb. 28 or March 31.A few seasons are open the entire year, butwinter is the most populartime totrapbecause pelts are in prime condition.

Fowlhunting in Ladd Marsh slowed by we ather

Use this nymph in slow-moving streams and in still waters

Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is open Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and federal holidays during pheasant, quail, partridge and waterfowl seasons. Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult game bird regulations before entering the wildlife area. Waterfowl hunting has been slow due to the early freeze-up. Recent warm temperatures and rain are beginning to open some areas. Local bird numbers remain good, and hunting should improve if warm temperatures persist. Hunters should watch local weather reports for high winds near Ladd and Pyles canyons. This generally means good waterfowl hunting at Ladd Marsh. Upland hunting has been good for pheasants and quail. Nesting conditions were good for both this year. Hunt areas near water with dogs for the best success.

Created by Louis Arthofer, it is popular in Austria and throughout Europe. Fish the Arthofer Nymph by itself or in tandem with a Callibaetis Nymph or a Rubber-Leg Hares' Ear. Use either a floating line or a clear slow-sink line and a long fluorocarbon leader. Tie this one with brown or black thread on a No. 8-12 nymph hook. For the tail, use three strands of ostrich herl dyed brown. Wrap brown ostrich herl for the body. Use hen pheasant fibers for the wing case. Wrap the thorax with copper wire. Finish with a short-clipped guinea fowl or partridge hackle. Source:GaryLewis, ForWesComNewsService

Bighorns moved for genetic diversi WesCom News Service

SALEM — State biologists captured and relocated California bighorn sheep at several locations early this month to improve genetic diversity among herds to continue torestore thisnative species in Oregon. Bighorns were captured in the Deschutes and John Day River canyons and in the Branson Creek area of Grant County. Fifteen sheep captured in the Deschutes River Canyon were released at AlvordPeaks in Harney County, and 20 sheep captured in the John Day River Canyon went to McClellan in Grant County. The sheep relocated will supplement existing herds to increase genetic diversity within the herds. "Research conducted in Oregon shows we need to mix up the genetics of the herds," Don Whittaker, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife ungulate coordinator, said."Higher genetic diversity leadstobetterpopulation performance and we hope to see population increases, too." During the capture operations this week,ahelicopterwas used to locate sheep before they were captured using a net fired out of the helicopter from a specially-designed gun. Once captured, the sheep were blindfolded and restrained to calm them, then hoisted in the air by the helicopter and taken to a location where biologists and veterinarians cared for the animals. Each bighornsheep was disease-tested and many were fitted with a transmitter so their movements can be tracked. Twenty bighorn sheep were also released on Bureau of Land Management land in the Klamath River Canyon below JC Boyle Dam where bighorn sheep have not been seen since they were extirpated from Oregon in the 1940s. Most of these were from the Branson Creek area of Grant County. Wildlife managers removed all sheep from Branson Creek during this week's operation because domestic sheepalsograze in partsofthisarea, and thereisa risk ofdisease transmission between wild and domestic sheep.

Cycling survey nearingcompletion WesCom News Serwce

SALEM — Travel Oregon and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department are asking cyclists for input on an economic impact and user study of bicycle recreationand travelfor Oregon's Scenic Bikeways. As part of their information gathering, the two organizations want cyclists to respond to an online survey by Dec. 31. Oregon is the only state in the nation with Scenic Bikeways — offering Oregon's "best of the best" road routes — and the feedback can make them even better. Travel Oregon and Parks

and Recreation want to hear how often people ride the Scenic Bikeways and get feedback on what people thought of them. The survey can be found at www.surveymonkey. com/s/ScenicBikewaySurvey1. Anyone who has ridden a bicycle on any one of the 12 designated bikeways is requestedtoparticipatein this survey. The responses will be kept confidential and beused for statistical purposes only. The survey takes about 10 minutes, and the results will help improve the Oregon cycling experience for all.

State biologists relocated California bighorn sheep last week to improve genetic mix among Eastern Oregon's herds. fornia bighorns were the most abundant native wild sheep in Oregon and were foundthroughout the mountainous terrain of southeast Oregon. This week's operations are part of continuing efforts to restore the speciesto its native range. "These magnificent animals are an iconic species in southeast Oregon's mountain country," Tom Collom, district wildlife biologist in Klamath Falls, said."This week's operation will help maintain healthy herds of bighorn sheep and continue the state's restoration efforts, which have been in the works since the 1950s." Several sheep released have GPS collars, which will allow biologists to closely monitor their location. Periodic aerial and ground surveys are also planned. Bighorn sheep live in rugged country where rafters along the Klamath River may catch a glimpse of the

sheep. Bighorn sheep died off in Oregon in the 1940s due to unregulated hunting and their susceptibility to domestic livestock diseases. The first successful bighorn sheep relocation in Oregon occurred in 1954, when 20 California bighorns were relocated from British

Columbia to the Hart Mountain NationalAntelope Refuge in Lake County. Since then, the population of bighorn sheep has grown to an estimated 3,500-3,700as a resultofthe state's aggressiverestoration efforts. Next week, biologists will conduct additional collaring of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in the Lower Imnaha River area to help wildlife managers better monitor herds in northeast Oregon. Bighorn sheep are one of the rarest game mammals in Oregon today. Less than 100 bighorn sheep tags were offered to hunters last year on a "once-in-a-lifetime" hunt basis. The state auctions and rafIIes off a bighorn sheep tag each year at events sponsored by sportsmen conservation groups; proceeds from the sales benefit the managementofbighorn sheep. About 800 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep live in the mountains and canyons of Northeast Oregon; the rest of the animals in the state are California bighorn sheep. The state generally relocates 20-80 bighorn sheep annually with the ultimate goal of creating healthy bighorn sheep populations in all available suitable habitats within Oregon.

By Bonnie Miller Rubin Chicago Tnbune

CHICAGO — With"Sesame Street" characters gracing the walls and building blocks on the floor, the pediatrician's office may seem like an unlikely place to discuss birth control. But concerns about teething and toilet training quickly give way to discussions of other developmental milestones — such as a budding attraction to the opposite sex. Without a lot of fanfare, the American Academy of Pediatrics recently issued new birth control recommendations for adolescents who are sexually active: long-actingreversibleforms ofcontraception, such as intrauterine devices or hormonal implants, citingeefficacy, safety and ease of use." The new policyis a shift for the nation's leading pediatrics organization, w hichlastissued contraceptiveguidelines in 2007 and did not recommend a specific contraceptive method. "It's a change ... and one people might be surprised about," acknowledged Dr. Anita Chandra-Puri, a pediatrician in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. "But it's a change based on very careful research studies, which shows that this is asafe and veryeffective method of contraception." According to the academy's policy statement, published in the October issue of Pediatrics,adecade ofexperience and data have demonstrated that IUDs and implantsprovide three to 10years of contraception and are low risk and reliable. Only 1 in 2,000 women using implants get pregnant in a given year; for IUDs, the unintended pregnancy rate can be 1 in 500, depending on the type used. By contrast, the failure rate for condoms, the most popular form of contraceptionforteens,is18 outof100 times, the AAP reports. The academy's guidelines support the 2012 findings of the American College of Obstelricians and Gynecologists, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Dr. Mary A. Ott, lead author of the update. eWe're really not a trailblazer ... we're just looking at the same evidence thatIUDs aresafe and effective,"said Ott, who practices in Indianapolis.eWe have a lot of work to do in pediatrics to expand our skills and our patients' comfort level ... but this policy statement is a stepin the rightdirection." The academy's endorsement comes on the heels of the controversial Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case that closely held businesses can deny coveragefor certain birth controlm ethods — including IUDs — for religious objections. Butopposition tothe pediatricgroup'srecommendation appeared to be muted, Ott said."I'd say there was more surprise Irom the lay public than pushback." While the academy still recommends thatabstinence educationbe a partof any discussion about sexual health, clinicians are also realistic about their hormone-driven patients. "Existingdata suggestthatovertim e, perfect adherence to abstinence islow," the academy said.' Therefore,pediatri-

Contraception IIse by teens Teen pregnancy, birth and abortion rates have reached historic lows in the United States due to more and better contraceptive use, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Use of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods — including intrauterine devices (lUDs) andimplants — is growing among women 15-19 years old. The use of these types of contraceptives was recently recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

On average, young people have sex for the first time at age 17, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a New York-based reproductive health and rights organization. The academy stressed that condoms are still essential for preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. "Adolescentsare capable ofunderstanding complex messages about sexual health ... they understand that their pedialricians can simultaneously encourage abstinence and provide nonjudgmental contraceptive information and care," explained Ott, adding that all methods ofhormonal birth control are safer than pregnancy. Although the U.S. teen birth rate remains the highest among industrialized nations, according to the Guttmacher Institute, it has been on a long downturn. In 2010, the teen birth rate was 34.4 births per 1,000 women — a

In Colorado, for example, the state's birthratefellby 40 percent Irom 2009 to 2013, which officials attribute to dispensing IUDs, funded by an anonymous donor. With fewer unplanned pregnancies, the abortion rate dropped by 35 percent, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reported.

pingpong as a kid because your parents set up a table in the basement. Maybe you played in high school because you were hanging out with friends at the rec center. And maybe later, you played that other version of pong that requires a table and a ball but no paddles because, you know, you were in college. You may well have drifted away Irom the sport since then, but you know what? Your younger self was onto something. Table tennis is an effective — and fun — way to work up a sweat. Your older self might want to lry it if you're looking for a vigorous workout with very little risk of injury. And you might even benefit Irom the positive effects the sport is widely credited with having on brain functions. Then there's Navin Kumar, a 40-year-old government worker who told me, "I'm playing table tennis really for my survival." Kumar has gotten back into the sport in a big way recently, despite some

pretty major health challenges. The Gaithersburg, Md., resident was born with a congenital heart condition and has undergone five open-heart surgeries, two of them when he was just 3 years old. Now his heart is partially mechanical, with valves made Irom carbon fiber, and he uses a pacemaker. On a Caribbean cruise a few years ago, Kumar won a pingpongtournament (most aficionados refer to it as table tennis, but the more informal term is still acceptable), and he was remindedofhow much he had enjoyed the sport as a youngster, even competing in an officially sanctioned eventin 1986.He started coming to the Maryland Table Tennis Center in Gaithersburg but then had to take some time offbecauseofsome more heart-related issues, as well as thebirth ofa child. Since July, Kumar has been back at MDTTC with a vengeance, saying that, "in fact, now I'm playing betterbecause,from aheart standpoint, I've had all the open-heart surgeries I need — knock on wood."

They won't immediately cure the illness but can lessen its severity and shorten suffering by about a day, Frieden said. Some doctors may hesitate, reasoning that flu season usually doesn't hit hard until around February.

Thursday's news follows another problem recently identified by CDC officials, involving the nasal spray version of flu vaccine. At a scientific meeting at the CDC in October, vaccine experts were told of preliminary results from three studies that found AstraZeneca's FluMist nasal spray had little or no effect in children against the swine flu strain that was the most common bug making people sick last winter. Because this year's version of FluMist is the same formulation, experts said it's possible thespray vaccine won't work for swine flu this season, either.

Hearing screenings may not accurately assess hearing loss School hearing tests used in most states screen mainly for low-frequency hearing loss rather than the more commonly affectedhigher frequencies,accordingto researchers from Penn State College of Medicine. Studies also show that adolescentsare poor self-reportersofhearing status, meaning that teenagers at the highest risk for hearing loss may not be receiving the hearing care education or protection that they need. 'Teens are usually at a higher risk for hearing loss than much of the general public because they aren't as educated on the risks of exposure to loud noises," said Dr. Robin Maxon of Eastern Oregon Audiology.aw e find thatthey'rem ore likely in general to listen to music loudly, attend concerts or sporting events without hearing protection, and hunt or ride ATVs without protection." Schools that screen mostly for lowfrequency hearing loss and do not tailor questions to adolescent hearing loss are missing out on potential red flags, researcherssay,leading to inaccurate readings.

Flu season has begun to ramp up, and officials say thevaccinedoes notprotect well against the dominant strain seen most commonly this year. That strain tends to cause more deaths and hospitalizations, especially in the elderly. 'Though we cannot predict what will happen the rest of this flu season, it's possible we may have a season that's more severe than most," said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a news conference Thursday.

Congressrelaxeswhole grainstandanls

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Congress is taking some whole grains off the school lunch line. A massive year-end spending bill released Tuesday doesn't allow schools to opt out ofhealthier school meal standards championed by first lady Michelle Obama, as House Republicans had sought. But it would ease standards that require more whole grains in school foods. The bill also would put off rules to make school meals less salty, suspending lower sodium standardsthat were supposed to go into effect in 2017. Some school nutrition directors

havelobbiedforabreakfium the standards, which have been phased in since 2012, saying the rules have proven to be costly and restrictive. Some kids don't like the meals, either. House Republicans have said the rules are an overreach, and have fought to ease them. As the debate escalated this summer, Michelle Obama said she would fight"to the bitter end" to make sure kids have good nutrition in schools. The White House did not have immediate comment on the language in the

spending bill. Many schools have complained that the whole grain standards are a challenge, especially

when preparing popular pastas, biscuits and tortillas. Food servicecompanies don'thave as many options in the whole wheat varieti es,and preparation can be more diKcult, especially with some whole wheat pastas that can be mushy and hard to cook. The spending bill, expected to become law before the end of the year, would allow schools that can demonstrate they have had difficulty finding and affording acceptablewhole grain products likepastas and breads to be exemptedfrom 2014 standards requiring all grain products to be mostly whole grain. Those schools would still have to abide

spotlight BY JAY BOBBIN Remember when President John F. Kennedy ordered hundreds of people into the cosmos aboard a giant spaceship? You don't? Well, don't worry:

Neither does anyone else, and that's why "fiction" is part of the term "science fiction." The premise fuels "Ascension," a new Syfy miniseries running

Midway through the 100-year trek, a murder aboard their ship named Ascension prompts questions about the true intent of the mission. Cast as the self-concerned wife

'Ascension' puts Svfv m ord>t

of the captain (who's played by "Cougar Town" alum Brian Van Holt ) is Tricia Helfer, no stranger to sci-fi — nor to Syfy — thanks to her run as the Cylon known as Number Six on the reboot of "Battlestar Galactica." She says creator and executive producer Philip Levens

("Smallville") explained to her that "Ascension" is "sort of loosely based off of a real project, Project Orion, that was about sending a nuclear-powered ship. "It's interesting to have this alternate reality, sort of a 'Plan B' for hum anity ... and for me, it was all about the characters and the stories of 'what IP.' What if these people were in space on this journey. They didn't know if Earth still existed when my character was born on the ship."
