G F ORSOLUTIONSTORESTORE• Medical marijuana dispensary considerlng ' appeal ofhoursofoperation condition Set to file

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

The owners of Eagle Cap Dispensary are appealing the hours of operation on their conditional use permit. Earlier this month, the La Grande City Council passed the medical marijuana facility's CUP but added a condition that the business must close between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. during the school year to avoid it being open while children are unloading off school buses. Jeff Durning and Wilma Reynolds, owners of Eagle Cap Dispensary, which will be located at 1601Albany St., must prove the condition on the CUP will have adverse effects on their business.

• Cove Kgh School students present options for preserving, restoring old gymnasium By Dick Mason The Observer

W hat do you think?

It is a forgotten, fun and tumble-filled chapter from the Cove School District's past. At least six decades ago,the building today known as the distri ct' sold gym was used as an informal skating rink. The gym was sometimes open for roller skating between basketball seasons,according to a story in the Oct. 17, 1991, edition of The Observer. Roller skates marks are not evident in the gym today, but evidence of Father Time's corrosive hand is. The gym's bleachers are rickety, nail heads sometimes pop up from the floor, forcing extra layers of wax to be applied; the building's ceiling needsrepairwork, and itsold windows may be letting heat

It was a mix of emotions at the Union Food Bank on Saturday. The food bank was closing its doors at the location it has called home since 2003. Some were hopeful it will move somewhere else, while others felt it would never open its doors again. The Union Food Bank, which has operated out of the United Methodist Church since opening, was asked to leave the church because of the wear and tear it takes on the building. "It puts a strain on the facility," said Joe Gonzalez,

Area residentsurge OEC Ctokeeg atightrein LEGAL MARIJUANA

By Noelle Cronnbie The Oregonian S

PENDLETON — Oregonians settled the question of marijuana's legality in a decisive vote last November. Yet the home of the 105-year-old Pendleton Round-Up isn't ready to concede. This Eastern Oregon town, where the motto is "Let 'er buck," doesn't want to let go of marijuana's prohibition era. And if that seems hardheaded, consider the spirit of its fabled rodeo, where crowds of up to 20,000 chant the town's hang-tough slogan when a cowboy enters the arena. ''When it comes to a lot of our laws, they are determined by a couple of counties and Portland," said Pendleton Mayor Phillip Houk.

We are used to that, so what we have to do is buck up and figure out what we are going to do." The Willamette Valley, Portland especially, may have moved on from debates over cannabis. But among many here, marijuana's dark reputation as a gateway drug linked to mental illness, family dysfunction and addiction remains intact. As part ofitseffortto collectinput from Oregonians, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission last Thursday held the first of 10 statewide public forums. The first two were in Baker City and Pendleton, drawing more than 200 residents from a sparsely populated swath of Eastern Oregon.

Police, elected leaders, business owners and parents filled seats at the events, some driving more than an hour to talk about what legal marijuana means for rural Oregon. Speaker after speaker told Rob Patridge, chairman of the liquor control commission, to craft rules that will keep marijuana away from kids, limit marijuana retailers' abilitytoadvertise and restrictw here they can operate. Residents pushed the commission to develop a robust public education campaign aimed at Oregonians young and old about marijuana and its risks. Delmer Hanson, mayor of Island City said he's especially worried about the potency of marijuanainfused edible products, such as

gummy bears and other candies. S We just have to figure out a way to keep this away from our children," Hanson said."I think we will find that even adults don't realize the m agnitude oftheeffecttheseedibles can have on them." Karen Howton agreed."Our youth do not need to see this as a normal thing," the 36-year-old mother of two from Island City said at the Baker City forum."I am a parent and I'm scaredtodeath ofit." Howton echoed the view of many in theroom when sheurged Patridge to think about Eastern Oregon when writing the rules. The counties that hosted the first two public forums — Baker and Umatillavoted against the measure.

QUOTE OFTHE DAY "My experience of the world is that things left to themselves don't get right." — TH. Huxley, English biologist andauthor

By Dick Mason A lockout was conducted at Willow Elementary School from about 8 a.m. to noon Friday. La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze decided to institute the lockout after being told by the La Grande Police Department that a man at the Orchard Motel, a quarter-mile from the school, was threatening to commit suicide and was armed. Glaze said there was no immediate threat to students, but he stillopted for the lockout as a precaution. S We always want to err on theside ofsafety for children," the superintendent said. Throughout the lockout,

all doors to Willow, a kindergarten-only school, were locked. People Glaze w h o needed to enter the school, such as school district employees, were let in during the lockout. Classes were conducted in regular fashion at Willow. The only difference was students could not go outside duringrecess, Glaze said. The morning session ended at its regular time, 10:40 a.m., after which children went outside to board a school bus or be picked up by parents. If children set to ride the bus lived in the vicinity of the Orchard Motel, precautions were taken. Arrangements were made to have these children picked up by theirparents,Glaze said. Glaze was pleased with how the lockout was handled by school district employees. "The staffhandled it

REAL PEOPLE

Clerk Qana Boiiertsoverseesgrogertytitles,elections By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

ENTERPRISE — The inner workings of the courthouse are intricate, but not so mysterious. On the main floor of the Wallowa County Courthouse are the treasurer' soffi ce,the assessors' office and the county clerk. All three are held by non-partisan, elected officials with staf, and all three work together managing the titles and tax assessment of private land within the county. Dana Roberts, the county derk, oversees property titles and elections. ''When we get a document to record here — deed records, easements, contracts or anything that is going to change the name on the property, we give the assessor's photocopies," she said. From there she said the assessor's office changes the property owner's name. Anythingbefore 1990 has to be looked up in large ledgers stored in her office. The ledgers date back to 1887 when the county was first incorporated. She said these old books are used

quite a bitwhen someone is looking for a title for a piece of property, or a piece that might have gotten left out. When the informationis found, itreferences the book and page to see the deed. "This is what we used all the time,"Roberts said. Since 1990, everything has been entered into a database. Roberts said she started working in the courthouse part-time when the clerk needed extra help before for an election. By late 1990, she was working full-time in the clerk's office. Before that, she'd raised three sons. When she started working full-time, she said it helped that her husband, Everett, was home from work early enough to be with the kids when they got out of school. For the past 25 years, Roberts has held up her corner of the courthouse's main floor with limited or no staf. For more than a year, Sandy Lathrop has been learning the ropes, transferring from the commissioner's office. She, too, used to help out with elections before she took the job in the clerk's office. Roberts said the county hasn't had a good automated counting

Wallowa County Clerk Dana Roberts tracks election procedures and property information at the courthouse. Her office is decorated by quilts she's made over the years. machine for too long. The first tally on election night takes about 15 minutes, but anything turned in after 8 p.m. must be opened, the signature verified and a second stack ofballots readied togothrough the counter. That can take a couple hours to complete the second count. Before the new machine, the county had countingboards and people hand counted the ballots. Then there was

a counting machine thatlooked like acardboardsuitcaseand each ballot had to be fed into it one at a time. Election workis sporadic throughout the year — filings for candidacy on even years open in February and dose in March, Roberts said. Roberts graduated from Enterprise High School and the Pratt School before that, a two-room school on Elk Mountain Road.

She grew up on a ranch on Swamp Creek three miles from the school and remembers an Enterprise with both Sears and Montgomery Ward catalog stores, the Enterpriser ,a generalmercanti le,two drug stores, a Mode 0 Day, Western Auto and two or three taverns. "It was kind of scary moving in to the Enterprise School," she said. 'There were more kids in my class than in the whole Pratt School." As her kids grew up and left home, she turned her eye to quilting. One ofher sons accuses her of packing up his stuff and ~ his bedroom into a sewingroom. She spends a lot ofher fiee time cutting fabric into small shapes and sewing them back together into beautiful collages of color and pattern. One quilt hung on the wall in her office for a long time and was raflled to benefit the Fountain of Honor on the courthouse lawn. Several ofherworks adorn thewalls in the clerk's office. In acouple years Roberts said she intends to spend more time sewing when she hangs up her hat as county clerk. 'That's my entertainment," she said.

erro11sm One of the most diKcult elements America must face in the next 25 years is the fact that terrorism isn't going to go away any time soon. The sentiment may run counter to what we all want to believe and what we all wish was the reality. Americans desire clear end-points and we recoil from complicated, untidy foreign policy endeavors. We want clear conclusions and specific victories. The deadly attacks that unfold in distant places such as Paris and Pakistan carry with them the obvious fact they are far away and therefore part of a greater collective dissonance that has shaped our perceptions since 9/11. Fourteen years is a long time and the fact thatAmericahas not endured such a terrible event as the 9/11 attacks is comforting and because of countless factors. For one, we've spent a lot of money and built a mostly super-secret security surveillance system to guard against such attacks in the future. We've seemingly traded in some hard-earned American principles for security and then brought most of the troops back home and declared the global war on terror over. Except it isn't going to be that easy. We can look to 9/11 as a clear demarcation line in our history on a number oflevels, but in the case of new expectations, it clearly pushed America into an uncertain and wavering future. The old American habits of quickly shutting the door on conflicts and foreign policy endeavors was shattered by 9/11 and eradicated forever after a decade-long war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many Americans do not really seem to want to look to a future that will certainly boast the newly evolved malady of terrorism. The troops are out of Iraq. Most of them are out of Afghanistan. The war should be over. But it isn't. And it won't be. Not for a long time. So Americans will be compelled to face diKcult problems related to foreign policy and the growing security-industrial complex. Hard questions will need to be asked. Ignoring the problem won't solve it. Terrorists are going to try to strike at America again and they will try to do it as soon as possible. So that means we must actively ask tough questions about security — as in, how much is enough? — demand answers regarding government intrusion into our private lives and seek not accommodation with terrorists but concrete, effective methods to combat what can only be termed as world malignancy. The terrorists that slammed the jets into the World

Trade Center on a bright blue day so long ago killed thousands and sparked a decade-long war. But they also shoved us, all of us, onto the oken tilting and unsteady world stage where Americans traditionally do notlike to be. We are there now, whether we like it or not, and we can't just label the war over and pretend terrorism has been vanquished. It hasn't. So we must face the future with realistic expectations and concrete solutions and debate what trade-oAs are necessary in such a new paradigm.

Your views Thiesfeld: MERA tower would benefit BMTD in Union County To the Editor: I guess the sky must be falling if you are tobelievethe Observer'sarticle about the Blue Mountain Translator District .FirstofEtheObserver needs to do their homework a little better. OPB is not the only English speaking channel available. The transmitter on Tollgate broadcasts "This TV" on 11.2 and the Tri-Cities'"Fox HD" on 11.1. I might add that the 11.1 The Fox channel has a much betterbroadcast ofthe Seattle Seahawks' games. From my way of thinking, the BMTD has three main costs: • USFS tower broadcasting lease fees. • Programming costs from Direct TV. • Electricity. Lease fees: The county- owned Mount Emily Recreation Area property has a peak that hits an elevation of5,600feet, more than adequate to broadcast TV to the majority of Union County. The county also has a precedence of giving free leases to nonprofit entities that benefit the entire county ithink Shelter From the Storm). I'm sure the county commissioners could be convinced to allow a tower facility to be built on the top of MERA when it will benefit the entire county. The tower could also serve public safety/searchand rescue radiorepeaters. If you consolidate the BMTD transmitters on Mount Harris and Mount Fanny down to one tower on MERA, you eliminate those USFS lease costs. Programming: Do we really need to bring the Portland stations into the valley when the BMTD could translate the Tri-Cities stations directly from the top of MERA for free? I haven't done any testing from MERA, but we may even be able to translate some of the Portland stations directly too. With a tower on MERA, there is no need to pay Direct TV for programming costs. Electricity: The Mount Emily tower farm already has electricity there, so the costs to build electricity to a new tower should not cost too much. And since OTEC could afford to build the new Taj

Mahal out on Cove Avenue at its shareholders expense, I'm sure they could be coaxed to build a new line to MERA at little to no cost. This doesn't solve the BMTD problem for Wallowa and Baker counties, but if people would start thinking outside of the box, I'm sure it could be resolved without the "sky is falling" tactics.

To the Editor: The Jan. 19 article 'Walden talks timber, health" speaks loudly about whose health Walden actually is concerned for. His particular happiness with the amendment he supported and helped pass, "Save American Workers Act," will directly benefit businesses at the expense of American workers and their families. The amendment he passed will change the current definition of"fulltime work." That definition now is 30 hours or more per week in order to qualify for health care benefits and is a reasonablerule considering themaj ority of workers in America work part time but less than 40-hours per week. But Mr. Walden and his colleagues in the House supported and were able to pass a new definition increasing the minimum from 30 hours to 40 hours per week that you must work in order to qualify. He cites his reasoning for increasing the hours are because businesses were reducing workers' hours to 29 to get under the existing law of 30 hours. He further cited that his amendment will "protect 2 million workers from wage cuts." Mr. Walden provided no facts to support his allegation because he has none. The only comment he could give is that it will benefit businesses since they will no longer be required to make health care insurance available to anyone working less than 40 hours per week. Mr. Walden clearly understands who will benefit from these cuts to working Americans — Big Business. And he should be straightforward enough to say that. In a nutshell, Walden has hurt Eastern Oregon families, the middle class and all hardworking Americans when he supports laws that penalize our neighbors, friends and loved ones.

"Oftentimes people who aresuicidal doone oftw o things: become homicidal or want suicide by cop," Harvey said.eWe didn't want either of those things to happen." Suicide by cop is a method by which an individuals acts with the goal of provoking a lethal response by law enforcement. An armored vehicle was parked in front of the motel room to further contain the situation. Union County SherifF's Capt. Craig Ward said Friday that adjacent rooms were evacuated and the remaining guests had been advised. He said the armored vehicle keeps the situation contained and keeps people safe. ''We're always frying to contain the situation," he sald. Harvey said a crisis negotiator, a mental health professional from the Center for Human Development, and the man's parents talked to the man for hours to try to talk him down. "All told we had close to six hours of negotiation on the phone," Harvey said. At 10:53 a.m., though, officers on scene heard a single

Jurors found in favor of Elgin and two former city police offi cersaftera fourday trial that concluded earlier this month in Pendleton before U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Sullivan. Itwas one ofthosecases where no one really wins, said Portland lawyer Steve Kraemer, who represented the city, former Officer Eric Kilpafrick and former Police Chief Kevin Lynch. "This has been a very emotionally draining case for everybody that has been involved," Kraemer said. "No matter what, this is just a terrible tragedy." The tragedy began on the morning of Aug. 1, 2011, when Officer Eric Kilpatrick responded to a domestic disturbance call from Gloria Shafer. She reported that her husband refused to let her leave the home. When Kilpafrick reached the house, he found Gloria Shafer inside talking to her husband. She wanted to move some ofher belongings out of the home and put them in her van. But when she carried a box outside, her husband tried to stop her. Kilpatrick said she could take a few items. At one point, Dickie Shafer picked up an AR-15 military-style rifle. Kilpatrick pulled his Glock semiautomatic pistol and orderedShafer atleast twice to drop the weapon, Kraemer said. But Shafer did not acknowledge the command. The officer pulled his Taser and fired, but it missed Shafer. Then Kilpatrick struggled for control of the AR-15 in Shafer's hands. "Give it to me," he shouted. As the two men fought for the rifle, Kilpatrick saw the muzzle moving toward

At the Jan. 14 city council meeting, City Planner Mike Boquist said the council can add conditions to regulate the business or come up with a valid reason to not pass the CUP altogether. Mayor Steve Clements, who had just been sworn in to his position during the same meeting, told the five dissenting councilors who did not want to pass the CUP to come up with a reason. Otherwise, the owners will likely appeal it and the council will have to, once again,

But many residents in the city of 1,700 remained shaken by the shooting as conflicting accounts of the shooting swirled through town. Evidence presented during last week's trial disproved one account that Shafer was shot after dropping the weapon, Kraemer sald.

12s Super Bowl bound: Wilson's magic lifts the Kearse "Never, ever ever ever ever give up."

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN

— Winston Churchill he Northwest has a new

T lucky rabbit's foot.

It comes in the form of Russell Wilson, 5-foot-2 quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks pro football team. Actually, Wilson is5-foot-11,buthe plays asifhe is the size of the Jolly Seahawk Green Giant. Wilson hopes he can pull more magic out of his helmet Sunday as he leads the Hawks in their quest for a second straight Super Bowl. The Hawks are playing the vaunted New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady, the guy with the movie star looks and more conventional size for an NFL quarterback, 10 feet and 300 pounds. Actually, Brady is 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds of laser arm and deflatedfootballs. By comparison, Wilson looks more like a mailman, except all he delivers is unbelievable wins. Case in point: The National Football Conference championships played Jan. 18 in the Emerald City. It was an instant classic. Wilson's team was down 19-7, time was running out and the Green Bay Cheeseheadser, Packers — were controlling the ball. An old saying goes, "It's not over until the Fat Lady sings." Well, the Fat Lady was

warming up her vocal chords, and the Seattle bandwagon, once crowded with zealous fans, had just a few diehards hanging onto the sides as it hit another pothole. The only Seattle score had come at 4:44 left in the third quarter. The Hawks' holder for a field goal attempt, Canadian punter Jon Ryan, who looks like adoppelgangerofcomedian Jim Gafflgan, had taken the snap androlled left.Atthe last moment, Ryan passed to rookie tackle Gary Gilliam, who is about the size of a Greyhound bus only with better hands. That made Ryan three-for-three passing in his career. Even that did not infuse life into the anemic Seahawks offense. Wilson had thrown a careerhigh four interceptions — all targeting Northwest native Jerome Kearse ipronounced "Curse"). The less optimistic among the crowd was preparing for the headline, "Seahawks have been Kearsed." Then, suddenly, late in the fourth quarter, a shaft of sunlight pierced the leaden January Seattle skies. Wilson ran for a one-yard touchdown. With 2:07 left to play in regulation, Seattle

was down 19-14. The 12s, as Seattle's fans are known, whether at the game, at sportsbars orin living rooms acrossthe region,gotjetplane loud. The 12s got even louder when Ryan booted the ensuing onside kick into the ground. The kick bounced high in the air, went right through the hands of a Packer who was supposed to be blocking for his more sure-handed brethren and was recovered by an alert Hawk at the 50 yard line. At 1:25 to go, the Hawks went into beast mode. Taciturn running back Marshawn Lynch rumbled 24 yards for a touchdown. Lynch is famous for his post-gameinterviews.He'llbe asked something like, "Describe in detail how you were feeling when you ran in the winning touchdown," and he will answer "Fine." Skittles rained down. It's a Seattle tradition to shower Lynch with Skittles, a colorful candy he is partial to, when he scores a touchdown. That put the Hawks up 20-19. They chose to go for a two-point conversion, knowing the Packers and their all-world quarterback, 6-foot-2, 225-pound Aaron Rodgers,had plenty oftim e to lead his team to at least a tying field

goal. Another shaft of sunlight pierced the skies. Wilson rolled

right and, with a tsunami of Packers in hot pursuit, started running away from the Hawks' end zone. Then, when all seemed lost, he lofteda rainbow passwhat in the trade is called a hail Mary — across the field to where only Seahawk receiver Luke Willson seemed less than mesmerized at the unusual ball

flight. As expected, the Packers were down but not out. They marched down the field like Gen. Sherman approachingAtlanta and Mason "Bing" Crosby, their all-world kicker, made a 48-yard fi eld goalto tie the game at 22. Another shaft of sunlight pierced the skies. Seattle won the all-important coin flip to startthe overtime and got the

ball. The coin flip is critical in the NFL, since through a strange rule if the first team that gets the ball scores a touchdown, the game is over. The coin flip should be practiced daily. Just over three minutes later, with Seattle's offense finally in high gear, Kearse bolted down the field trying to salvage his reputation. Despite having a defender hanging from his nose, he caught a 35-yard touchdown strike. Seattle had won 28-22. The Kearse hadbeen lifted.

It was a three-point game with a minute left, and the ball was up for grabs. Union's Quinn Evans had rushed up the court and was swarmed by an Imbler trap around midcourt. After losing control for a moment, Evans scrambled to re-secure it, but found himself surrounded by Panthers once again. Evans found teammate J.D. Graves amidst the chaos, and the Bobcat senior turned and saw a welcome sightDawson Kennon all by himself. "I was just trying to help Quinn get out of that jam, and I looked down court, and Dawson was there wide open," Graves sald.

Bend's Fowler wins tight100-mile race By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

JOSEPH — The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, or to quote another work ofliterature, when itcomes tothe 100-mile EagleCap Extreme Sled Dog race, things weren't as they seemed. The Observer reported its Fridaythat Laura Warren of Council, Idaho, was the winner, by less than a minute, of the 100-milesled dog race. On Saturday night at the banquet, the record was set straight. According to Warren, there was an addition error made at Ollokot, one of the checkpoints for the race. When Bend's Bino Fowler arrivedatOllokotbeforethe trek back to Ferguson Ridge, his time was entered incorrectly and was declared the winner. Warren was second and her son, Garrett Warren, was third, less than a minute behind her. 'There is no glory in winning if we didn't,"Warren said."Everyone has been very apologetic." No one was aware of the errorat Ollokot.W arren said she spent a while checking on her dogs and left late. She said she caught Fowler and passed him. Somewhere on the trail in the dark she had

You'll never see me wearing the knitted stocking cap and scarf combination — the one with the variety of colors that I told you about in my column just last week. Ithad every colorfrom black to purple to pink to orange to yellow to green to blue. I had thought it would be really flashy, and I would be really flashy wearingit, I decided, if I ever finished it. To my surprise, I really did finish it, even attached the tassel at the end. Then I tried it on just for fun, wonderingif I had nerve enough to wear it out in public to surprise my relatives and friends. I pulled on the cap part and wrapped the scarf end around my neck and over my shoulder so it would hang down my back. The trouble was that I couldn't see. The size 3 needles and the type of yarn hadmade the cap toolargefor my head and the cap had slid down over my eyes, then down my face. I guess it would have been all right had I planned for eyeholes in the proper placement. SeeDory/PaI,e 2B

I am told theybloom once ayear, which sounds fair since they bloom for so long. Just like violets, don't over water them. Some recommend givingit one ice cube a week, which makes the amount easy. You could give someone a big bouquet ofroses and they would be wonderful for awhile, but then theywould be gone.

How are those New Year's resolutions working out for you? Many resolutions to eat better and lose weight are born from holiday binge-eating guilt and regret. Some of us actually eat more sweets and goodies and egg nog during the holidays than we ordinarily would, knowing that come the new year we will be resolvingtoeatless. The time has come. The time is here. The time is now. And the resolutions that we made so recently are withering and dying away. Have no fear. We are here to help with an assortmentofrecipesthattastegood and are good for you. And we're not saying "taste good and are goodforyou" because itis afood-w riters'trite cliche. These recipes actually do, and they actually are. My eye was turned by a recipe for Beef and Barley with Carrots and Mushrooms. First, I was intrigued by the thought of what is essentially a rice pilaf made with barley, a tragically underused grain. And second, I liked the symmetry of making a solid-dish versionofa soup (beefand barley)after I had just cooked a soup version ofa solid dish

BEEF WITH BROCCOLI

(duxelles). The heartybarley was made even more nutty and delicious by the addition of the water I had used to soak dried porcini mushrooms. The carrots added a touch of sweetness to counteract the meaty, bold flavor of the rest of the dish. Yet I still wanted more low-calorie dishes. I rarely cook with beefbecause of the fat and the calories, so naturally I liked the challenge of making another healthful weightlosing dish with it. But I cheated. I turned to Japanese cuisine, which is one of the most healthy, lowest-calorie cooking there is. And then I uncheated, so to speak. The recipe I chose, which the Japanese cookbook called Gyuniku to broccoli no itame-ni, is utterly unrelated to Japanese cuisine. The w riters, asitturnsout,appear to have left out a vital ingredient (stock), which would have changed the cooking method (simmering the meat in a broth) and made the meal a lot more Japanese. Instead,Im ade the dish asthe recipe instructed. Made this way, it turned out to be very similar to the familiar ChineseAmerican dish Beef With Broccoli, and it is an excellent version of it, too. You can eat it on its own, as I did, or serve it with rice. I still had plenty of energy, probably from eating all those holiday goodies, so I decided to make one last low-cal dish. It is hard to find a cut of meat with fewer calories than pork tenderloin, so that is what I used for a very simple meal. Well, relatively simple. It requires two differentstages ofcooking,oneon top ofthe stoveand one in theoven.And you have to

Before Valentine's day, Walmarthas been known to get in some really nice orchids, so for $16 attim es we have added a splash of color to my husband's waiting room at his offtce. The receptionist said everyone that came in would rave over the orchid or ask if it was real. So how do you keep them happy? They want to be where they get good light, but not direct sun. I place them on atable acrosstheroom from awindow and they look toward it, thus giving us

the best view of the blooms. When I satitin front of the window it gradually started to turn more toward the window and hide the blooms. To any guys out there who might read this: Add an orchid to your Valentine shopping list and you will put a smile on that special someone's face for months to come. To any ladies reading this, just know he wanted to give you something as long lasting as his love for you — or something mushy like that.

FRANKLIN, Wis.— Don Valenti and his son Steve restoredthe gleaming red 1961 Corvette about 25 years ago as nothing more than a hobby, with no intention of selling it and no notion that when they did so, they were embarking on a joy ride across the global economy. They completed that first restoration job in theearly 1990s, and the early clientele for the garage where the self-taught mechanics began overhauling vintage cars was almost exclusively local. Then came the Internet. For the first time, an enthusiast in the African Republic of Benin could track down Valenti Classics Inc. in metro Milwaukee and see if they could find a 1918 Ford Model-T, restore itto its original performance, give it a shiny black paint job, redo the upholstery, and ship it to Alrica.

For a gearhead in Bahrain, the Valentis resurrected a curvy 1967 Chevy coupe. In Saudi Arabia, there's a fully refurbished blue'52 Ford F-1 pickup racing around. A collector in Spain ordered a burgundy'35 Cadillac with an imposing grille and bug-eye headlamps. Another in Brazil took possession of a'37 Caddy. As much as globalization has disrupted the lives of many Midwestern machinists and mechanics, it opened a world of far-flung destinations to Valenti Classics for the likes of Packards, Bentleys, Studebakers, Excaliburs and no end of muscle cars &om the 1970s. "From my perspective, it happened by accident," said Don, 72. "The world kind of shrunk," said Steve, 40. During the garage's early years, Don said, 95 percent of its clientele was from around Chicago and Milwaukee. These days, 95 percent of its

It shows 34 nations where they've deliveml their automotive makeovers, covering every continentexcept Antarctica, and every US. state save Alaska. The work often entails automotive archaeology. They search for old cars and partsat auctions,in forgotten barns, junkyards and online. And when parts no longer exist, they fabricate them in the shop. On a recent visit, one of the workshops included two 1956 Chrysler Imperials. "Everyone here is a car nut," Steve said. Don and Steve recently purchased additional industrial space nearby, which will become their colorand design studio, focusing on exterior body work while the existing workshops will concentrate on internal mechanics and machining.

— COLD FEET INIOWA DEAR COLD FEET: A person does not have to track"dirt" into a house to carry germs onthe solesofone'sshoes.Ifguests have walked on a sidewalk or driveway where someone has walked a dog or spat, then I can see why a parent might want shoes removed if children play on the floor. Good manners in a case like this would be to cheerfully cooperate with your hosts and, ifslippers are notprovided,tobring a pair over that you can leave for the next time you visit. It's a small price to pay for spending time with your beautiful grandchildren.
