The La Grande School District's financial situation has improved dramatically since 2009 when it had to cut about $2 million due to the recession thatforced the stateto reduce its public school funding. La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze said the chance to boost the budget is most welcome after many years ofhaving to make cutbacks. He was worried that he might never

The 2014-15 budget will allow the schooldistrictto add back 7-V4 teaching and non-teaching positions. The total will include 4-V4 teaching positions, with three slated for La Grande High School in the areas of math, science, social studies, health and career technical education.

TODAY Today is Friday, May 30, the 150th day of 2014. There are 215 days left in the year.

By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

To get a better understanding of the movement of Northeast Oregon wolves, biologists trapped and collared a pair this past week. Russ Morgan, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's wolfbiologist, said a yearling male from the Imnaha Pack, dubbed OR-25, was collared May 20 on national forest land in the pack's home range. A 100-pound male was captured and collared on Mt. Emily last Saturday. This time of year, Morgan said, the department uses leg-holdtraps tocapture and collar wolves. Aerial trapping is only done in the winter when wolves are easyto see against the snow and when using traps is harmful to wolves due to the cold. Morgan said the Department is working to get collars on a number of packs this spring, including the Minam, Mt. Emily, Snake River and Walla Walla packs. The Snake River and Walla Walla packs have had m embers col lared over the last couple years, but they have dispersed leaving it more difficult to track the

Richard 'Rigk' Frank Smith Enterprise 1946-2014 Rick Smith, 67, passed awayon May 24inWest Jordan Utah, surrounded by his family and lifelong friends. Rick was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Nov. 1, 1946, to Lester and Agnes Smith. Rick's life was cut short, leaving behind family and friends who will always love and miss him. Rick had an

amazing life because he loved it,friends and family said. He was gifted with the insight that Smith eve ry day was an adventure. As a child he loved baseball so much that he went to work at the age of 8 sellingnewspapers on street corners in Salt Lake City so he could buy his first baseball mitt. As he grew older, he would ride his bike to the Great Salt Lake in search of adventure. As time passed, he found himself at the stockyard where he found his calling, working with horses and cattle. After graduating from West High School, he was off to El Paso, Texas, with a personal reference from Sen. Frank Moss of Utah, to work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a cotton inspector. Rick later returned to Utah to begin his studies

at Utah State University. His collegeeducation was interrupted when he was drafted to serve in the U.S. Marine Corp during the Vietnam War. When he returned home, he decided to clear his head andsetoffto Idahofor ranch work. While working on the ranch, he spent time working with and breaking horses, and trapping during the winter months. He developeda loveforroping, herding, feeding and branding cattle. When he returned to school, it wasn't all work. He met his future wife not in class, but at a dance hall. With his two left feet, he kept JoAnn George to himself all night long. He created a humorous courtship and they were married April26,1976. After 38 wonderful years, they renewed their vows on April 26, 2014. Rick graduated from Utah State University with a B.S. degree in range conservation. He worked for the BLM in

Hanksville, Utah, until he was offered a job with the U.S. Forest Service in Salt Lake City. He worked on the Wasatch-Cache National Forestand latertransferred to Tonopah, Nevada, to the Humbolt-Toiyabe National Forest. From there he transferred to the WallowaWhitman National Forest in Enterprise, where he retired after35 yearsofservice.Rick always said, "I never worked a day in my life because I love what I do. Not very many people can say that." In his free time, he enjoyed the beauty in his own backyard. He loved sitting and watching his children, and later his grandchildren, playing in the creek and having hot dog roasts under the willow tree. He loved sitting on the porch or at the kitchen table visiting with friends and family. He was the ultimate storyteller and always in search for the next joke or trick to play. He loved working with his horses and

mules, hunting, fishing, and tinkering in his workshop. With his love for learning and endless supply of determination and patience, he became aJack ofalltrades. This was handy for his home projects and when anyone needed help. Rick was genuine, sincere, humble, selfless and had a notable soft spot for animals and children, his family said. His family says they lost a"one of a kind" loving husband,father,grandfather, brother, uncle and fi iend who was mentor and their solid foundation. He stood up for what he believed was right, even when it wasn't popular. Rick is survived by his wife, JoAnn, his two sisters, Elaine Smith and Carolyn Jennings, his two daughters, Jessica Anderson iJakel and Orianna Leith iBradl, three grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. He also leaves behind an infinite list of fiiends that have shown such greatlove and support

for an extraordinary person. A viewing will be held at from 11:30a.m. to 12:30 p.m. May 31 at Nelson's Mortuary, 162 East 400 North, Logan, Utah. Graveside services will follow at Providence Cemetery, 700 River Heights Blvd, River Heights Utah starting at 1 p.m. All fiiends and family are welcome to attend. A Celebration of Life will be held in Enterprise at a later date. Condolences may be expressed to the family online at www.nelsonfuneralhome. com/. I

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE I666

OUR VIEW

ORKISON TgllNAlvtl

ran s seer oo im oran Unless you're living under a rock, you know that our local governments are strapped for resources and looking for savings wherever possible. The La Grande Police Department was lucky to have received an allocation from the city budget committee for a software upgrade. The department could still use another oKcer. Fortunately, there are grants available to help oA'set costs for the local law enforcement and criminal justice system, vital components of our community. Safety of Union County residents is a top priority for local oKcials, and residents are thankful for that. Residents are also thankful for nonprofit organizations, like Shelter From the Storm, that are able to pick up the slack — though by no fault of those various agencies needing support — and get grants to provide additional resources for those valuable agencies. The La Grande Police Department now has a full-time domestic violence detective because of a grant written by Shelter From the Storm. And though the county is the recipient and applicant for another grant, the shelter is instrumental in helping them get funding for a number of partial and full-time positions, including half a sherif's deputy, the victim's advocate and a quarter of a deputy district attorney's position. It would be a shame for the community to lose such valuable positions that are relieving a burden on other stafK The community is right to fear this could happen with the shelter losing its location and advocacy center. Grant funding is competitive and requirements stringent. Many require a nonprofit agency as a partner. As Shelter From the Storm Director Teresa Crouser put it,"If we go, the grant goes." It's time for the county and shelter to come to the table and craft a resolution to this situation, one that addresses the important need for a new court facility without neglecting the vital domestic violence agency that help keep the county safe. Yes, the county owns the building and land. Yes, the county has o6'ered Shelter From the Storm space in the Joseph Building. However, there isn't enough moneyaround toadequately renovate the space for the shelter, and the question of what the shelter would do during the new courthouse construction remains. It may take much thought and innovation, but there is a workable solution to this scenario somewhere. Union County is full of smart and hard-working people. Now let's put our minds together to keep safety a top priority for the community.

The2016presidential candidate we need 11modern presidents ofboth parties ave been too much with us. Talking incessantly, they have put politics unhealthily at the center of America's consciousness. Promising promiscuously, theyhave exaggerated government's properscope and actual competence, making the public perpetually disappointed and surly. Inflating executivepower,they have severed ittrom constitutional constraints. So, sensible voters might embrace someone who announced his 2016 candidacy this way: "I am ambling — running suggests unseemly ardor — for president. It is axiomatic that anyone who nowadays will do what is necessary in order to become president thereby reveals character traits, including delusions of adequacy and obsessive compulsive disorder, that should disqualify him or her from proximity to powers concentrated in the executive branch.

"I'velooked atotherjobs — office jobs — and they require more experience.

Robinson and Mitchell both said they filled out numerous applications before getting their jobs. Both will w alk across the stage at the La Grande High School graduation this weekend. Alexis Johnson graduated &om LHS last year and currently works at Top That, a new restaurant in Island City near Walmart. Johnson happened upon that position throughfiiends.

In a letter to Cover Oregon's temporary leadership last month, Oracle President and Chief Financial Olficer Safra Catz wrote that the company provided"clearand repeated warnings" to Cover Oregon that the exchange website would not be ready to launch last October.

making it harder for them to compete with the experienced applicants," the study says. Jason Yohannan, regional economist for the employ-

ment department, said there is a limited availability of jobs for teenagers. "There are more opportunities for youth in the summer, but wehave alsonoticed over the past few years that many ofthejobsthataretraditionally filled by youth have been taken by adults," he said. With fewer teens working, that generation hasn't had the chance to develop a work ethic, the study says. For Robinson, who has worked at Taco Time for almost a year, learning those"soft" skills has been important to her. "I get my own money so I can pay my bills," she said.

Think of it in this metaphorical sense, every drop of water in the ocean is different to some degree, but every drop is in the ocean and the ocean is in every drop. So it is with God in creation and creation in God. Take a moment to say this to yourself "The Holy Spirit is the perfect, intelligent, excellent vital essence of my being." Then say it agan and again and again.

Hawkins leads UO to victory Making her debut in the Women's College World Series, Oregon sophomore left-hander Cheridan Hawkins acknowledged she was a bit nervous, which led to a shaky first inning. She quickly recovered, though, pitching a one-hitter in topseeded Oregon's 3-0 victory over Florida State on Thursday in the opening round. Alexa Peterson had a pair of hits, including a run-scoring double, to help Oregon (55-7-1 ) break the schoolrecord for victories in a season. The Ducks advanced to play Florida on Friday. Florida, which beat the Ducks 2-1 in eight innings on Feb. 28, downed Baylor 11-0 in five innings in another first-round game on Thursday.

Ballmer signs Clipper deal Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has agreed to buy the Los Angeles Clippers for a recordbreaking $2 billion. Now it's up to others whether the deal goesthrough. Shelly Sterling said in a statement issued late Thursday that she'd signed a binding contract for a sale of the Clippers by The Sterling Family Trust to Ballmer in what would be a record deal if approved by the NBA. Ballmer "will be a terrific owner," Sterling said, "We have worked for 33 years to build the Clippers into a premier NBA franchise. I am confident that Steve will take the team to new levels of success." Shelly Sterling's statement noted that she made the deal "under her authority as the sole trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers." -The Associated Press

Throughout each practice leading up to its playofFopener against Regis, Union/Cove head coach Paul Phillips constantly emphasized the importance of scoring early runs to put immediate pressure on the opposition. Kindra Moore responded, clubbing a two-run home run that bounced ofF the topofthefence,then over to score. The Lady Cats never looked back and remained in complete control of the entire game at home to win 10-0 in six innings Wednesday.

"My mind was very clear heading to the plate," Moore said."That was also the first time my dad saw me hit, so it was pretty exciting afterward." Moore added that she was confused while running the bases and unsure of whether she'd actually hit the homer. "I didn't know it was over the fence until I heard coach say, 'keep running,' and I was confused," Moore said. "Then I saw it over the fence and Chris Baxter/TheObserver didn't know what happened.

Because, I have to be honest, about the third inning I was a little worried. Macey's home run kind of sparked us." With a steady sprinkle of rain through the first three innings, it appeared that Enterprise/Joseph/Wallowa's energy had been doused. An RBI single from Santiam Christian's Cassie Huflman and Hannah Yelas' sacrifice fly had put the Cubs in a 2-0 hole after two innings. SeeCubs / Page10A

SOFTBALL Continued from Page 8A the Tigers struck out 16 times, including eight of the first nine batters. Perhaps the most fi ustrating moment of the season came for the Tigers in the third inning when three consecutive players struck out after loading the bases with no outs. aWe were very inconsistent with our fielding this season," Casaciato said."I thought we did avery goodjob ofcleaning up our mistakes towards the end of the season, but we sufferedarelapsein theplay-in game, and it was very tough." The Tigers finished the seasonwith a 8-14 overall record, and a 5-7 mark in the GOL. Four Tigers were given first-team all-Greater Oregon League honors, with Kali Avila as a catcher, Avery Albrecht in utility, Kendal Kirkland as an infielder and Auslin Mc-Daniel-Perrin in the outfield. In the second team, Marissa Carson was named as a pitcher, Addie Haggerman and Brandi Blackman for their play as infielders, and Katelyn Bell in the outfield. Mattie Spencer was named an honorable mention for her pitching, while Shania

Holpuch was named as an outfielder. Holpuch, Kirkland and Bell are the only three players graduating, so Casaciato will see many familiar faces on next year's team. aWe're going to be really young again next year too," Casaciato said."I really enjoyed working with all of these kids. I would like to see a bit more intensity or softball savvy, but I don't have any complaints and it wasn't a hard season to get through. I had a couple weeks that weren't too enjoyable, but everything got worked out." Casaciato said hedoesn't foreseeLa Grande winning the GOL title next season because Mac-Hi pitcher Colette Robert will return for her senior season. Robert was named a first-team all-GOL selection, and is committed to playing Division I softball at the University of New M excio. Casaciato said oneof his favorite moments of the season was when the Tigers reached one of their season goalsofscoring a run ofFRobert during their final meeting against Mac-Hi. With both Carson and Avila returning for the Tigers, Casaciato will have both of the team's top two pitchers back in the fold next season. Breann Gib-

bons also figures to play a partin the La Grande rotationafterpitching for the junior varsity team for most of the season. In the loss to Stayton, Gibbons came on to pitch in the final inning. Gibbons recorded the Tigers' only strikeout of the game, retiring the side without allowing anyone to reach base. In order to put the ball in play more frequently next season, Casaciato said his girls need to be more willing to adjust their swings to make contact and put additional pressure on the tougher opponents. "These kids need to learn a lot about adjusting their swings,"Casaciato said.aWe hit a lot of home runs, but when you go up against a pitcher that is locating well with their pitches, then you have to shorten your swings, keep your head on it, open up your hips and make adjustments. I want my kids to buy in on changing their swings up during the same at bats." "I think we will be much better all-around next season," Casaciato said."In everyaspectofthegame from fielding to hitting and pitching, I think we will make big improvements."

TIGERS Continued ~om Page8A intentionally walking Rogers to face him," head coach Parker McKinley said."He was excited to have the opportunity to win it for us, and he did a great job." The Tigers also won the earlier meeting between the two teams on March 22 by the exact same score. Hunter Hoyt also pitched for the Indians just as he did in the first contest, and had a much better showing in the playofF tilt. Throwing a complete game, Hoyt allowed four hits and three walks, while delivering nine strikeouts. Eli Childs was the only Tiger to record multiple hits, going 2-for-4 from the batter's box. As the No. 12 seed facing the No. 5 Indians, the Tigers began their upset bid in the first inning as Cederholm also scored the firstrun of the game for the Tigers ofFa throwing error. The Tigers held the Indians scoreless in the first inning, but pitcher Trenton Powers gave up each ofhis three earned runs in the second. Powers finished his day on the mound with two strikeouts, while giving up five walks and five hits in

four innings. "Trenton wasn't able to throw his best stufFtoday," McKinley said."He had trouble finding the zone, but he did a good job of keeping the ball down for the most part and we had to pull him in the fourth since we knew his arm was getting tired Irom throwing a lot of pitches." Although he is accustomed to pitching as a starter, Tanner Stremcha gave the Tigers a solid showing in three innings of relief, allowing two hits, no runs and one walk while tallying four strikeouts. The Tigers began to chip away at the 3-1 Scappoose lead in the fourth inning, when Childs hit a grounder that drew another throwing error, allowing Rogers to score. The Tigers tied the game up in the sixth inning Hively scored after Childs stole second base. "The tying run was a great, well-executed offensive situation for us with runners on first and third base," McKinley said. With the win, the Tigers will be back on the road today against No. 4 North Marion. The Huskies defeated No. 13 Hidden Valley at home Wednesday, 11-5. McKinley said he will choose between starting Stremcha and Tyson Wicklander as his starting pitcher.

CUBS Continued from Page 8A In the top of the fourth, Cara Wonsley ripped a two-run bases-loaded double, and HuSnan knocked in another run on a single to take the five-run lead. Amy Edison led ofF the bottom half for the Cubs with a single up the middle, and one batter later,Freihitarocketthateasily cleared the fence in left field to slice the lead to three. "It didn't even feel like I hit it that hard," Freisaid."Itfeltlike thatwa sthepartthat started us. Everyone else got up iemotionallyl after that." Indeed, there was a noticeable shift in momentum following Frei's blast. Santiam Christian's starting pitcher, Yelas struck out seven batters and had kept the Cubs hitters at bay up until that point. The Cubs kept the pressure on the following inning. Darby Gassett and Taylor Harshfield opened the fifth inning with consecutive singles on the Eagles. Sidney Cooney then reached on a Santiam Christian error, allowing Gassett to score. Following the first out of the Irame, catcher Callyn Stewart sliced a double into the right-center field gap, driving in Harshfield and Gassett to tie the game up at 5-all.

"Ihad popped out thetw otimes before,soI just kind of settled myself and told myself to square it up," Stewart said. However, the comeback attempt was almost made in vain, as Santiam Christian put runners on second and third with no outs in the sixth inning. But Cooney induced HuSnan into a ground ball to shortstop Amy Edison, who threw home to get the lead runner out instead of making the sure out at first base. Cooney also got a ground ball Irom the ensuing batter, Bretta Harless, and first baseman Noel Taylor completed a double play when her throw to home was in time to tag out the Santiam Christian runner. Neither team earned a breakthrough until the bottom of the seventh, when Cooney led off with a single. Edison followed up with a base hit of her own, and with Cooney on third, Hellas threw her pitch over the catcher's head, allowing Cooney to race home to easily score the winning run. Enterprise/Joseph/Wallowa totaled 11 hits, with Edison notching three and Frei and Gassett each adding a pair. Cooney went the distance, allowing 11 hits but continually getting key outs when she had to. "That was not Sidney's best game by far, but she battled," HuSnan said. The Cubs will head on the road to face Dayton today in the second round.

years ago in the Dominican Republic, while researching the ancient origins of diseases spread by ticks and mosquitoes. He did not find the tick until five years ago, and when he cracked open the amber, saw the tick was full of millions of fossilized bacteria. Poinar writes in the latest edition of the journal Historical Biology that the fossilized bacteria are similar in form to the bacteria causing Lyme disease. The fossil record indicates homo sapiens has been around about 200,000 years.

2 accused ofabusing daughters insqualid RV BEAVERTON — Beaverton police say they've accused a couple ofliving with their daughtersin a recreational vehicle full of garbage and human waste, and social workers have begun an investigation. The Oregonian reported the adults were accused of criminal mistreatment. They were identified as 33-year-old Sarah K. Clark and 34-yearold Marcelino Navarro. OffIcers said they found

garbage piled up high all around the motor home, feces all over the bathroom and no running water. The only food in the camper was chips, candy and energy drinks. Police said the couple told them the children hadn't been in school or taken showers. Police said the girls are ages 7 and 12, and are living with relatives. They were arrested Tuesday on a secret indictment.

WesCom News Serwce

SALEM — Did you get an X-ray in the past three years? How about surgery? Whatever it was, chances are the Oregon Health Authority knows about it. Nearly all medical claims paid in Oregon by private insurers, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage from the past three years and counting are stored in the All Payer All Claims database. Now, Oregon Health Authority officials are working to strip the huge database of personally identifiable health information and make it available to the publicon a searchable website,a tricky task given the wealth of private information it contains. The hope is that making such information public will allow people to comparetreatment costsand effectiveness. Gretchen Morley, the Health Authority's health analytics director, told a group of state senators Wednesday the OHA will put out a call for proposals next month to build an online tool that will publicly present the data in an accessible way. Ideally, visitors will be able to search by county and ZIP code, she said. OHA officials have been moving forward cautiously. Privacy issues have been thought through, Morley said. The Oregon Health Authority is also working with the Oregon Insurance Division to add more price and quality data as well as information on the m ajor driversofhealth costs,such as heartdisease ordiabetes.

A total of 20 firefighters fought the fire, including crews from Clackamas Fire District 1, the Sandy Fire District and the Estacada Fire District. It took about an hour to extinguish the blaze.

Indian Ocean where 'pings' heard The Associated Press

Boeing 777 has been found in one of aviation's most baffling mysteries. The news comes after the U.S. Navy dismissed an American expert's reported comments that acoustic "pings" heard in April did not come from the jet's black boxes. CNN reported that the Navy's civilian deputy director of ocean engineering, Michael Dean, said most countries now agreed that the sounds detected by the Navy's Towed Pinger Locator came from a man-made source unrelated to the jet. "Mike Dean's comments today were speculative and premature, as we continue to work with our partners to more thoroughly understand the data acquired by the Towed Pinger Locator," U.S. Navy spokesman Chris Johnson said in a statement, referring to Australia and Malaysia. Dean, who is based in Washington, could not be immediately reached for comment. In an emailed response to questions, the joint coordination agency said it was still examining the signals, but acknowledged We may never know the origin of the acoustic detections." The agency would not yet reveal the next most likely crash site, saying that "will be made public in due course."

CANBERRA, Australia — Investigators searching for the missing Malaysian jet have concluded an area where acoustic signals were detected is not the final restingplaceofthe plane after an unmanned subm ersible found no traceofit, the searchcoordinator said Thursday. The U.S. Navy's Bluefin 21 finished its final underwater mission in the southern Indian Ocean on Wednesday after scouring 850 square kilometers i330 square miles), the Joint Agency Coordination Center said. "The area can now be discounted as the final resting place" of the missing plane, the Australia-based center said in a statement. The underwater search for the airliner, which vanished March 8 with 239 people on board en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, will be suspended for a couple months while more powerful sonar equipment is brought in to search a much wider area of 21,600 square miles, based on analysis of satellite data of the plane's most likely course, the center said. That analysis has led authoritie stobelievethat Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 diverted sharply from its flight path and flew south to the Indian Ocean. But not a single piece of the missing

More than seven weeks after searchers thought they had received transmitter pings from the black boxes of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, search coordinators now admit those signals were likely not related to the missing jetliner.

Marine officer relieved of command SAN DIEGO — A Marine major in charge of a swimming training program at Camp Pendleton has been relieved ofhis command after an investigation into the drowning of a private concluded that the major had allowed unsafe conditions. A Marine Corps investigation said that Maj. Adam Burch had placed too high a value on having each Marine finish the training while he was commanding officer of the Reconnaissance Training Co. and not enough significance on ensuring their safety. Pvt. Joshua Islam, 18, of Union City, N.C., drowned Jan. 13 after refusing to quit during the training.

WesCom News Servicestaff

Thanks to an expected return of 1,500 spring Chinook to Lookingglass Creek, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced the creek will open to fishing for hatchery Chinook beginning Saturday. The creek, a tributary to the Grande Ronde River at Palmer Junction, will be open from the Moses Creek Lane

Bridge iCounty Road 42l upstream to the confluence of Jarboe Creek. The fishery will remain open until the harvest quota is reached, which biologists estimate will be two to four weeks. Biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will monitor the harvest on a weekly basis. 'This year's strong return and subsequent fishery are due largely to a revamped hatchery program for Lookingglass Creek that should provide more consistent fishing opportunities in the future," said Tim Bailey, ODFW district fish biologist in La Grande. The majority of returning fish will be hatchery fish. Anglers may retain two adipose fin-clipped chinook adults and five adipose fin-

clipped jacks per day, with two daily limits in possession. Jack salmon are less than 24 inches in length. Anglers do not need to record jack catch on their combined angling tags, but it is illegal to continue fishing for jack Chinook once the adult bag limit is met. Unmarked iwildl fish must be releasedcarefully and unharmed. As with the trout fishery that opened on Lookingglass Creek on May 24, anglers arerestricted to artificial flies and lures while fishing for salmon and no bait is allowed. "There are bull trout in Lookingglass Creek, and bait fishing could pose a threat to them, so all fishing in thecreek isrestricted to artificial flies and lures," Bailey said. Private timberlands owned by Forest Capital and open to public access border the area open to sport fishing. Anglers arereminded to respect private property by picking up trash when leaving.

LEARNING THE RIGHT WAY TO GO By Eric Avissar WesCom News Service

With summer fast approaching, the Grande Ronde Fly Fishers comprise a club of men seeking to expand local interest in fly fishing. On May 21, former national fly fishing champion and La Grande resident Duane Thompson held a tutorial at Pioneer Park on how to correctly cast, while also correcting common fly fishing mistakes. ' When you'he castingout a line, you wantit to be as straight as possible to minimize windresistance,"Thompson said.'You're supposed to useyour rotator cuffwhen castingyour line out as opposed to pushing and pulling the line outwardbecause thenitcannot goasfar." Thompson whotaught both onearm and two-arm casting techniques, enjoys using his 20-foot long pole. "I like fishing with the long pole becauseit'sgood forcasting outin the middle of a river," Thompson said."A long pole allows you to get way above the trees behind you to get over the brush so it keeps the line way up in the air, and you can also cast farther."

Thompson, right, watches Jim Mollerstrom's cast as he provides lessons on proper casting techniques during a Grande Ronde Fly Fishers activity. During the tutorial in which Thompson taught eight fly fishing club members, Thompson also demonstrated how to mend a line, which in essence is how to cast a line upstream around rocks to allow the line to drift

more naturally. While teaching how to mend, Thompson had to break certain misconceptions ofhow early a fisherman can begin the mending process. SeeFishing / Page 2B

Camping season is under way and, while fire conditions allow, campfires are an integralpartoftheexperience. The Umatilla, WallowaWhitman and Malheur nationalforestsoffersuggestions for campfire safety. Beginning in June, visitors are required to have their campfire located in a fire pit surrounded by dirt, rock or commercial rings, in areas cleared of all flammable material within a 5-foot radius from the edge of the pit and freeofoverhanging material. These requirements also apply to the use of charcoal briquettes. The new regulation does not prohibit the use of campfires, it only designates properconditions forsafe campfires. 'The intent is to allow campfire use while promoting safe campfire building techniques that, in the long run, will protect lives, property and our natural landscapes," said Brian Goff, Umatilla fire management officer.aWe live in an area where the summers are hot and dry. There's a long history of wildfire in the Blue Mountains and we do not expect that to change." Though lightning is the No. 1 cause of wildfires in this area, human-caused wildfires are preventable, unpredictable and can occur anywhere with no warning. "Historically, the public has practi ced safecampfire techniques and it is much appreciated," said Bret Ruby, Wallowa-Whitman fire management officer."However, thepotentialforlarge human-caused wildfires still exists." The new seasonal campfire requirements will be in effect June 1 through Oct. 31,unless more restrictive measures are warranted. During times ofhigh or extreme fire danger, forests will implement additional public use restrictions, which will further restrict the use of campfires, chainsaws, smoking and travel. Restrictions will be implemented in phases, based on increased fire danger, hot and dry weather conChtions and concern for public safety. "Preventing wildfires is our ultimate goal," said Roy Walker, Malheur fire management otfhcer.

The killdeer, a relatively common bird in Northeastern Oregon, is a master of camouflage. A type of plover, killdeer usually arrive in the region in late March or earlyApril depending on the weather. Females lay eggs in a shallow dug out in rocky or gravel areas, usually in open areas (see photo at lower right). These are ideal sites for the eggs because their color and size allow them to blend in with the gravel. As an indication of the eggs' size, the item just to the left of the eggs is a cigarette butt. Once hatched the chicks, in the lower left photo, are also nearly indistinguishable from the surrounding gravel. The mother, in top photo, also blends in well. If a possible predator comes near, however, including a person, the mother will flutter away from the eggs, pretending to be injured so as to draw the threat away from the eggs. Chicks can stand and run within a few days of hatching. Killdeer mainly feed on insects and their larvae, such as small beetles, mosquitoes and, in the case of arachnids, ticks. In late fall the birds migrate south. The bird gets its name from its piercing, distinctive call, which, with a bit of imagination, sounds like "kill deer."

Continued from Page 1B "Most people think of mending as something that happens once your line gets in the water, but if you try it when your line is on the water, then it starts to drag on the water," Thompson said. "It's betterto learn how to doitin the airbeforeitgetsinto the water.You can mend the line while it's in mid-air when it's rolling. Once it gets halfway out you can swing it sideways backand-forth with your arm." Thompson also spent the clinic teaching local fishers how to correct mistakes, the most common of which he calls a tailing loop — where the line with the hook on it crosses the line below, causing the line to hook itself, then break once it catches a fish. He also worked on helping fellow fishermen improve their loop size and shape to minimize wind resistance.

Grande Ronde Fly Fishers hold their monthly meeting every third Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m., alternating locations between the local library and Mamacita's restaurant. However, the June meeting will take place June 18 at Morgan Lake. There will be no meetings in July and August, with the next set for Sept. 18 in the Cook Memorial Library's community room. Club President Richard Mace has been involved with the club since its inception, and said he enjoys being a part of the local fishing community.

Being campground hosts didn't occur to the couple when they first hit the road. "Right after we retired, we traveled the United States coast to coast," Susan said. 'That was our plan and we sort of got thatoutof our system. ''When you'retraveling, you seeareas superficially. When you stay put, you have time toexplore the area more thoroughly, meet people, get tips from locals, discover trails— and restaurants."

Mace fondly recalled a time when he was amazed by Thompson's ability to cast out an entire fly fishing line 100 feet without using a fishing rod. From 1978 to 1993, Thompson actively took part in competition casting, culminating in 1993 when he won the U.S. fly fishing national title over world-renowned fisherman Steve RajefK Though he retired from competition casting after winning the title, Thompson is still an active fisherman, and said he loves teaching others how to fish. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife along with the Grande Ronde Fly Fishers and La Grande City Parks and Recreation Department will host the annualMorgan Lake Kids Day June 13 during which children will not be required to have a fishing license to go fishing on the lake. Thompson said he hopes to see plenty of kids in attendance who will enjoy the event, and then seek to attain a fishing permit.

s a Pendleton teenagerin the late 1990s I remember listening to 97 Rock, the regional, modern alternativerock station out of the Tri-Cities, and hearing a large amount of anti-dam breaching rhetoric from the station's DJs between Limp Bizkit and Nickleback songs. The bumper sticker-worthy slogan they had so crudely put together was "Don't touch our dam Snake, ya breach!" This was my first exposure to a contentious issue that has been a heated topicofdebate fordecades in the Pacific Northwest. Fast forward to 2014 and the releaseofthefi im aDam¹ tion,"which has been busily screening across the country, induding La Grande lastweek. Over the course of 90 minutes, co-directors Ben Knight and Travis Rummel cover multiple facets on thesubjectofdams induding an exaniination the history of dam buildingin the United States, their impact on watersheds and ecosystems (including salmon), the loss of cultural sites like Celilo Falls, environmental activists defacingdams,and modern dam breaching campaigns. The notion of breaching dams has evolved from a radical environmental activist cause in the late 1960s to a practi calmattersupported by many biologists, farmers, tribal members, outdoor enthusiasts, civil engineers and federalbureaucrats.It'srather shocking to find out that there are more than 75,000 dams in the United States over three feet high and only about 1,750 of those generate hydropower. A significant chapter of the film follows the process of removing two dams along the Elwha River in the Olympic Peninsula in Washington: from the anxiety felt by the communities that benefit from the dams to the actualdemolition process and gradualrestoration of the salmon run.

Unvaccinated residents in the U.S. and foreign visitors who traveled to the Philippines, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific are the main culprits in a growing spike of measles cases in this country that began several years ago and exploded this year. To date, 288 cases have beenreportedin 18 states, thehighestyear-to-date total since 1994 when 963 cases were reported by year's end. The overwhelming majority of U.S. cases are among people who have chosen to go unvaccinatedfor personal, religious or philosophical reasons, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, directorofthe National Center for Immunizations and RespiratoryDiseases at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Ohio alone, 138 cases have been linked to Amish communities where several members had traveled to the Philippines, which is experiencing its own measles outbreak with more than 32,000 cases and 42 deaths this year, Schuchat said. Fifteen outbreaks, involving threeormore related cases, have occurred in places like New York City and in

Prior to the U.S. measles vaccination program, which began in 1963, three to four mtlhon people tn the U.S. developed measles each year, leading to 48,000 hospitalizations and 400 to 500 deaths. As measles vaccinations took off in the 1960s, the rateoftransmission steadily declined, prompting health officials to declare in 2000 that the indigenous spread ofthedisease had been eradicated in the United States. It's re-emergence through imported cases is a troubling development for health officials. Measles patients in the U.S. range in age fiom two weeks old to age 65, with more than halfbeing over age 20. About 164,000 people around the world die from m easles eachyear.M easlesalso can cause women to miscarry or to give birth prematutely.

You are right to be concerned for your daughter-in-law. For years, dermatologists have cautioned the public about the dangers of exposure to the sun. With the invention of tanning beds, the rates of melanoma among young people have soared. For anyone who isn't aware, melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer that can be fatal. Tanning can be addictive, and you should urge your daughter-in-law to discuss this with a dermatologist. Because tanning also causes premature aging of the skin, she should explore "sunless tanning," which is much safer.

optimal shape n averageour brainsweigh about 1/60th our

O body weight, yet consume fully a quarter

of all the blood pumped by your heart. When it comes to handing out nutrients and oxygen, your body puts the brain at the head of the line. Jean Carper writes in'Your Miracle Brain,""Unquestionably, the brain is our most precious physical possession... nothing is HEALTH more central MATTERS to a successful DR. JOHNWINTERS and fulfilling life than an optimally functioning brain." Our brains consist of trillions of interconnected nerve cells that communicate using neurotransmitters. Research has identified about 50 neurotransmitters so far, but we know there are many more. Scientists are learning how the body uses serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, GABA and dopamine. There are many drugs available designed to artificially manipulate their levels. Drug treatment can be helpful or even lifesaving, but the brain is complex. Certain nutrients and hormones also have well known affects on brain function. Dementia is a decrease in cognitive function or mental ability such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering. There are many possible causes including poor circulation, poor nutrition and depression. Other possible causes include prescript ion drugs and diseases ofthethyroid, liver or pancreas. Sub-optimal B12 status and thyroid function are important and are common in the elderly. When evaluating test results and other assessments of your health, remember that"normal" or may not be the same as"optimal." Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia, usually appears as an increasing inability to recall recent events, or to learn and retain new information. Difficulties managing money, following instructions, finding the right words and disorientation may also be signs of dementia. Many of us have had these experiences, but they are caused by fatigue, multi-tasking or inattention, not dementia. Alzheimer's Disease is currently estimated to be the number three cause of death in the U.S., followingcardiovascular disease and cancer and is the most costly cause of death in the U.S. Risk factors for dementia include poor circulation, poor hydration, hypertension, blood sugar imbalances, oxidative damage, inflammation or being a politician. OK, I made up that last one. Understanding what contributes to problems leads us to many possible solutions. Increase blood circulation by drinking pure water. To determine how much to drink, divide your body weight in pounds by two and drink that many ounces of water daily. Being active, deep breathing and stretching also improve circulation. A recentsix-year study of1,700 adultsover 65 years old found that exercising 15 minutes only three times a week lowered risk for Alzheimer's diseaseby 35-40 percent.That' sa tiny price for such a payotK Inflammation, oxidative damage and blood sugar imbalances can largely be addressed with diet. What you eat sets the stage for health, or for imbalances and disease.A wholefoods, minimally processed Mediterranean-type diet is agreat start.Green tea,berries,good fats from fish and olive oil are excellent ideas. Other natural interventions might include ginkgo, CoQ10, phosphatidyl choline, grape seed extract, withania and bacopa. Each option is backed by studies and many years experience. Carefully choose any treatment and address your unique needs. Lastly, like any muscle, your brain grows stronger with use. Exercise your brain by seeking new skills, hobbies and friends. Read books, stay curious and maintain social contact. The book'Younger Next Year" addresses these points well. Dr. John Winters is a naturopathic doctor and owns Winters Naturopathic Clinic in La Grande.

Yes, many names are given to the weight — the five or 10 pounds — that seems just out of reach no matter how much we exercise and improve our eating habits. But why is it out of reach? Is it all in our heads? Or is it because the body has a set-point or ideal weight — a weight &om which it doesn't want to

College student's sleep study taps subjects' mindset By Stephanie Earls MCT News Service

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— You've likely heard oftheplacebo effect,an outcome that cannot be attributed toa specifi ctreatment or therapy but rather is caused by a patient's mindset alone. As it turns out, the force behindthe placebo effect — namely our beliefs and perceptions — might be one of the more powerful health tools in our arsenal. A study by a Colorado College senior found that students who were told they'd gotten a good night's sleep, even if they hadn't, performedbetteron tests thatassessed attention and memory skills than students who were told they'd slept poorly, even if they were well

Christina Draganich based her results on two experiments with 164 students, and a paper about the study,"Placebo Sleep Affects Cognitive Functioning," was published this year in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition. The placebo effectis potent, time-proven medicine. In fact, it's speculated that between 60 percent and 90 percent of drugs and physician-prescribed therapies work, at least in part, because patients believe they will. The "nontraditional" placeboeffecthasbeen found to cause poison ivy in test subjectsexposed tofake plants, physical improvements in people who'd undergone

''We've known about the regularplacebo effectfor thousands of years, but most of the time we hear about it in drug studies," said Kristi Erdal, a psychology professor at ColoradoCollege and faculty supervisor for the study.

I wondered if their scores were maybe influenced by their attitude regarding how tired they thought they were," said Draganich, who graduated in 2012. Because the study hinged on students' believing researchers could assess the quality of their previous

As setup, she irstasked participantsto f fill out a questionnaire about how well they believed they'd slept the previous night; the, they were brought into the lab for a five-minute lesson about sleep. "I told them sleep quality can be measured by the percent of time spent in REM sleep, and sleep quality often predicts cognitive functioning," Draganich said. She then told them about a new, cutting-edge technique thatallows researchersto assess an individual's REM sleep jrom the night before by measuring lingering biological markers such as heart rate and brain wave jrequency.

that you have been good for so long that you are letting some old habits back in?" she suggests. If so, start — or go back to — afood log to keep track of even the small calorie intakes, including the 100-calorie snacks that can add up during the course of the day. "Finishing the kids' mac and cheese or caramel corn can make all the difference," Gloede says. Another reason that weight plateaus can be that the resting metabolic rate drops as the weight drops, says LeBrun. In other words, you need fewer calories the less you weigh. So if you want to continue to drop weight, you have to drop calories and increase calorie-burn — the physical fitness portion of weight loss and maintenance. "It's alsoabout body composition, not just weight," Rippe says."As you lose fat, you want to maintain lean muscle mass through both strength training and aerobic conditioning." There are also age-related reasonsforweight plateaus or even gains, Rippe says. "Hormonal changes as we age can make it more difficult to loseweight." Men, for example, don't make as much testosterone as they age, which can lead toincreasesin bodyfat,especially in the midsection. Rippe encourages people to clearly differentiate between w eight lossgoalsfor health reasons and those that revolve around vanity. 'They are both relevant issues, but they are different issues," Rippe says."One is where important health benefits are seen and the other is about vanity — wanting to look good in a bathing suit."

Parenting a small child requires the forethought of a crisis planner, the reflexes of a professional goalkeeper, the energy of a cheerleader and the empathy of a therapist. Aftereons ofpractice atsuch caregiving, it'sclear thatmothers have evolved some brawn in those parts of the brain that weave together these many skills, and that practice strengthens them. But fathers can clearly develop the same cognitive and emotional muscle, and a new study finds that the more he cares for his offspring, the more a father's brain looks and behaves like that of a mother engaged in the everyday care of a child. In fact, say the Israeli authors of the study, the very practice of caregiving, whether by a mom who is her child's primary caregiver, a dad who steps in to help or agay father raising a child with no woman in the picture, activatesarecognizable"parental caregiving neural network." Their research was published Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers said they may be the first to take advantage of an unprecedented cultural shift. Changing cultural mores have given modern men a larger role in the care of their offspring, and

In a series of experiments, the researchers, led by Eyal Abraham of Bar-Ilan University, visitedand videotaped 89 first-time parents as they interacted with their babies. They took measurem ents of the parents'levelsof oxytocin, a hormone that mediatesbehavior related to nurturing, trust and affection. And later they scanned the brains of the parents as they watched video of themselves with their babies, and ofother parents interacting with their own children.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is a lover of games played on hard courts, grassy diamonds and in 10-yard increments. His two daughters are active in sports and, like many parents with children on athletic teams, he worries about their safety. But unlike many of those parents, Obama is uniquely positionedto help address the concerns. At the White House on Thursday, Obama was hosting a summit with representativesofprofessional sports leagues, coaches, parents, young athletes, medical professionalsand othersto call attention to the issue of youth sports concussions. Not enough is known about how the injuries may affect still-developing brains, the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council said in a report last fall, and the issue concerns Obama as a president and a parent. Obama once said he'd "have to think long and hard" beforeallowing a son to play football because oftherisk of head injury. At the summit, Obama will also highlight millions of dollars in pledges and other support from the NFL, the National Institutes of Health and others to conduct researchthat could begin to provide answers and improve safety.

CORVALLIS — Lyme disease is a stealthy, often misdiagnosed disease that was only recognized about 40 years ago, but new discoveries of ticks fossilized in amber show that the bacteria that cause it may have been lurking around for 15 million years — long before any humans walked on Earth. The fi ndings were made by researchers from Oregon State University, who studied 15-20 million-year-old amber from the Dominican Republic thatofferstheoldestfossil evidence ever found of Borrelia, a type of spirochete-like bacteria that to this day causes Lyme disease. They were published in the journal Historical Biology. In a related study, published in Cretaceous Research, OSU scientists announced the first fossil record of Rickettsial-like cells, a bacteriathatcan cause varioustypes ofspotted fever. Those fossils from Myanmar were found in ticks about 100 million years old.

As soft-bodied organisms they are rarely preserved in the fossil record,butan exception is amber, which begins as a free-flowing tree sap that trapsand preserves material in exquisite detail as it slowly turns into a semi-precious mineral. A seriesoffour ticks from Dominican amber were analyzed in this study, revealing a large population of spirochete-like cells that m ost os clely resemble those of the present-day Borrelia species. In a separate report, Poinar found cells that resembleRickettsia bacteria, the cause of Rocky Mountain spottedfever and related illnesses. This is the oldest fossil evidence of ticks associated with such bacteria. In 30 years of studying diseasesrevealed in the fossil record,Poinarhas documented the ancient presence of such diseases as malaria, leishmania, and others. Evidence suggests that dinosaurs could have been infected with Rickettsial pathogens. Humans have probablybeen getting diseases, including Lyme disease, from tick-bornebacteria aslong as there have been humans, Poinar said. The oldest documented case is the Tyrolean iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy found in a glacier in the Italian Alps.
