• Community-active couple has witnessed firsthand the perils of marijuana By Dick Mason The Observer

La Grande dentist Lynn Harris speaks not of toothaches but ofheartache when discussing the 21 months he recently spent treating inmates at state prisons in Baker City and Pendleton. Harris provided dental care and voluntarily counseled many inmates from 2011 through 2013. Harris said these were men trying to rebuild shattered lives, that often had crumbled because of the use ofhard drugs like heroin and meth, substances the inmates often told Harris that marijuana led them to. "Most of their medical histories included drug abuse. Many said marijuana was the gateway drug that got them started," Harris said."A 1,000-mile journey starts with a first step and for many of these people that first step was marijuana." Listening to inmates share their tales about drug abuse was sobering for Harris. "It was heart-wrenching to hear their stories. They didn't like their lives, they really wanted to change," SeeHarris / Page 5A

The Observer

The owner of Green Apothecary, Rona Lindsey, was granted a business permit to operate a medical marijuana dispensary at 1709 Adams Ave. last month by City of La Grande Planner Michael Boquist. According to state law, the site is appropriate for a medical marijuana dispensary, because it is not within 1,000 feet of a school for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Chronic pain and nausea are round-the-clock companions of Dorene Johnson of La Grande. Johnson, however, succeeds in keeping these foes at arm's length for at least a portion of each day thanks to the medically prescribed marijuana she uses. "I can't imagine my life without it," Johnson said. uiNot having it) would deny me a quality oflife existence. It gives my mind reliefby helping me escape the pain." Johnson uses cannabis to reduce pain caused by four back surgeries and severe nausea brought on by stomach surgery and"wasting disease." Years have passed since Johnson last felt normal, but she feels close to it briefly each morning after taking her dose of cannabis. "It is my best time," said Johnson, who has been taking marijuana for medicinal reasons for years.

He noted that when schools now provide reading instruction students are given dry manuals to study rather than works about subjects they might find riveting. The move toward Common Core is being driven by poor performances by United States students on the Program for International Student Assessment test. Recent PISA test results indicate that United States students ranked 24th internationally in reading, 28th in science and 36th in math. Perry believes these rankings are misleading. Look closely at the PISA scores and one will discover that the United States ranks among the world's elite, he said. Perry said what is dragging the United States PISA scores down is many students from poverty-stricken families taking the test, far m ore on a per capita basis than in manyother countries. "The United States has a higher percentage of poor kids (taking the test) than most," Perry said."Itis not a good comparison."

Surprise, hopefully, won't evolve into disgust, but, since we live in the current political climate, anything is possible. Bergdahl's negotiated release triggered debate, finger-pointing and — you guessed it — plenty of politicians jockeying to position themselves in the right light as questions regarding the sergeant's statuswas he a deserter or something else — gained momentum.

There isn't much of a debate regarding some facts. For example, the United States exchanged five detainees — all of them considered to be dangerous to the security of America — to retrieve Bergdahl. And there some other known facts too. For example, in 2009, Bergdahl disappeared from his infantry unit in Afghanistan. Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time in Iraq or Afghanistan understands that leaving the safety of Forward Operating Base (FOB) in enemy controlled country — alone — is not just a bad idea it is nearly unthinkable. In 2010, the Army determined he lek his post voluntarily. That fact alone, if true, pretty much makes all the other political white noise irrelevant. He lek his post without permission. He is — under the rules of the military — either AWOL or a deserter. Other facts are not so well explained. Why did the sergeant leave his post? Was the swap for him a good idea? The list could be — and probably will be — endless. What is discouraging is that the fate of this young man has been turned into what is now standard operating procedure within this nation's political forum: the marquee member of a circus. That fact is not only disdainful but frustrating. What needs to be done is a concerted effort of separating facts and then deciding on a course of action. One fact that is, or should be inconvertible, is that America doesn't leave its warriors behind. Regardless ofhis motives, notwithstanding his status, he disappeared while on active duty in a combat zone. Then he was paraded by the Taliban on videos like a carnival attraction. America has, in the past, sort of allowed that dictum — leave no one behind — to fade into the background. All one has to do to find proof is delve into the factual swamp of the still missing American POWs from Vietnam. The second fact is that if, indeed, the Idaho soldier walked away from his post, then the code of Uniform Military Justice is fairly straightforward on that issue. There isn't much debate. We should always do everything possible to find our POWs — whether they deserted or were capturedand bring them back home. If the sergeant committed a crime under military law, then he should be afforded a trial and either exonerated or punished under those mandates. Beyond that, most of the political bickering is yet another large example of what occurs a lot in modern American politics today: An example of a colossal waste of time. Yet there is a lingering question and that is this: How much of an impact will the five detainees traded for Bergdahl have on the ongoing war on terror? It is a question with no answer. At least not yet.

Skovlin: County Campus has room for both buildings To the Editor: To become more informed on this issue of the Shelter From the Storm and the proposed Circuit Court facility, Idroveto the site ofthe problem on what is called the "County Campus." It appeared to me there was ample room right there for both buildings. When I visited the county planning department to ask questions about this, I got an explanation which boiled down to both buildings couldn't be there because there would not be enough room foralltherequired parking spaces.I have to wonder if that is a good enough reason to tear down the shelter building and replace it with another building. I believe somewhere within our community there are people creative enough to come up with a satisfactory solution to this parking problem. To learn more about this, go to www. union-countyorg and read the minutes of the March 5 commissioner's meeting. If you are curious enough to go to the site that sits between the jail, the Catholic Church and the county commissioner's offices, take a look at the shelter. It looks like the county which owns the building is neglecting its maintenance. Donna Skovtin Cove

Feeling pugnacious, but not sure

oIo ' .'

exactly why Pugnacious. It was a delicious word on this particular morning. I let itroll around in my mouth and thought about it in three syllablespug-nay-shus — letting my lower jaw jut out in defiance. Defiance against what? And, why in the moment did I feel combative? I went over the thought that had invaded my morning coffee moments, watching the sun come up on a perfectly fine Saturday morning. The day ahead had only pleasant opportunities to offer if I chose to acceptthem. There was no pressure to push me in any one direction, and yet, I felt anger stirring within me and I needed to understand its presence. Things picked at me in my personal world like "little buttercups" — the weed — and stuck to me like the little sharp brown burs the soft green growths would become, capable of flattening car and wheelchair tires or puncture bare feet. My world, I concluded, had become too big and I couldn't contain its needs and demands within the scope of my individual realm. I wanted to pluck them out and be done with them, but I didn't know what they were. I was being overwhelmed by some dark looming creature of fear without knowledge of its demands and for what reason. Sipping the hot brew and turning overthe solitaire cardswith aone on one snap as though they could predict my future, Iwondered why some days started out this way with nothing to support them. It was just one of those mornings that started out a blank page but unreasonableanger stirring overwhat? Was it something in a non-rememberable dream that caused it? The condition of the world after hearing troubling news? The day-by-day problems to be faced and overcome? The build-up of issues, minor in themselves, but forming a block of an enemy ready for combat? No rememberable dreams had marred my sleep the night before, but I knew a sense of exhaustion that sometimes haunted me, again for no specific reason. Just that my world had become too large to handle, I surmised. Too many people to worry about; too large an area needing my concern; too many bad decisions governing too much of the population from afar; too many little personal worries looming into one dark cloud. I felt discouraged even as the sun burst forth into what promised to be a lovely day, hopefully washing away my doubtsand anxieties. Did everyone feel this way from time to time? I wondered. When they initially felt"pugnacious," did the negative feelings wash away? Did their world shrink back to size so it could be handled,molded,shapedinto a more controllable size? SeeDory/Page 2B

A healthier alternative to mac-n-cheese — less fat and chock full of chard.

By Karen Kain Who doesn't love mac-ncheese? I have avoided making it for years due to the high fat content coming from the cheese m ost reci pes callfor. This recipe is lower in fat and gluten free if you use gluten free pasta. The first time I made it I had low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was really delicious and now one of my favorites. Itisa greatwa y to getgreens into picky eaters. I made this dish for an entire middle school class and they all really enjoyed it. I often encourage you to play with ingredients, but if you are making this for the first time, I suggest that you use the smoked gouda,itreally addsa great flavor. For my second recipe I am sharing an old favorite from the UK. I made it the first time for curiosity reasons after hearing my fiiends boast about how delicious it was. I readily admit that I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I added in the green olives, blue cheese and boiled eggs, I think it is a great combination of flavors. Discard if you are not a fan. The key to this dish is in making the white sauce. Spend the extra time needed to ensure the sauce is thickened.

Glutenfree Mac n cheese vfth Chard One 12-16 ounce package gluten-free elbow macaroni 2-4 cups chopped Swiss chard (omit only tough stalks) 1/2 cup cream cheese cut into small cubes 2-3 cups milk (dish will thicken considerably after refrigeration) 4 tablespoons parmesan (grated) 1/2 cup mild cheddar (grated) 1/4 cup smoked Gouda (grated) 4 tablespoons butter (optional) 1 teaspoon onion

Once the milk has thickened add the cheese and stir until melted. Put the fish in a baking dish with 3-inch sides and cover with the white sauce. Next, layer the sliced eggs and then layer the green olives. While the potatoes are still hot add the blue cheese and mix well. Pat the mashed potatoes over the fish, sealing the dish, salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn the broiler on high for 5-10 minutes and brown the top. This is a wonderful winter dish that reheats well. Enjoy!

Keesha Sarman hugs Chelsea Houck during the medal ceremony following Union/Cove's 2-1 victory over Bonanza in the OSAA 2A/1A state championship Friday in Corvallis. By Eric Avissar The Observer

Up 2-1 in the top of the seventh E inning,Union/Cove appeared ready to win its second consecutive 2A/1A state championship as it quickly got the first two outs. Yet Bonanza made what had already been an enthralling game even more suspenseful once Baylee Kirk hit a single into right field. Maria Mojica then followed with what should have been a routine pop fly for Kindra Moore, but the hearts of Lady Cat fans were ai& momentarily stuck in their throats after Moore dropped it. However, Jaiden Wright refused to wait any longer for Union/Cove to once again become champions, as she struck out the final batter with three scathing pitchesto sealthe 2-1victory.

• La Grande resident holds his own amongst professionals over the weekend Even though Doug Bean largely performs in rodeos and stock shows for fun, it was tough to tell he wasn't a professional over the weekend. The La Grande resident made the most of an opportunity to perform in front ofhis hometown fans, taking first place in the second round of the steer roping event, as the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show concluded at theUnion Rodeo Grounds Sunday. At the start ofhis turn, the leader was C.A. Lauer with a time of 14.3 seconds. Bean lassoed and brought his steer down at agood pace,butitw ashistie-up ofthe

OBSERVERATHLETE OF THE DAY

Sophomore pitcher JaidenWright delivered a brilliant performance for Union/Cove in the state championship win over Bonanza with both her arm and her bat. Battling hip pain that has bothered her since the final regular season game, Wright threw six strikeouts while giving up five hits and no walks. As the leadoff hitter, Wright also went 2-for-4 with two doubles. In the final at-bat of the game, Wright threw a strikeout on three consecutive pitches to seal the championship. After the game, Wright credited her team's defense for giving her the confidence to not allow a walk.

He quickly got offhis horse and made short work of getting the steer's legs tied up, doing it in just about five seconds, and his time of 14 seconds-flat was good enough to hold onto first.

TONIGHT'S PICIC

Wright delivers in the clutch for Lady Cats

•000

nion/Cove softball's 2-1 victory over Bonanza in the state championship game was a truly thrilling and enthralling contest that could have gone either way. Although Jaiden Wright was hurling hot fire throughout the game for the Lady Cats, the Antlers put up enough pressure to suggest they could spring a second upset over a lower-seeded team after beating No. 1 WestonMcEwen Griswold in the semifinals. When asked about the keys to their success, Union/ Cove players and coaches tend togivethe same cliched answers of"we have a lot of heart,""we never give up," or "webattle,compete and always do our best." The thing is, the Lady Cats have embodied those cliches, and have lived by them. When Bonanza tied the game in the fifth inning and had runners on second and third base with one out, a classic massive shift in momentum ensued. Bonanza fans erupted in sheer delight as they attempted to will their team to victory, while the opposite end of the stands was filled with nervous energy and could sense an ominous implosion brewing. Instead of caving under the pressure, the sophomore Wright showed poise far beyond her years, and got the Lady Cats out of the jam. With two state titles already SeeAvissar / Page 2C

Union/Cove players begin to gather around the pitcher's mound to celebrate its second consecutive state championship victory Friday in Corvallis.

LADY CATS Continued from Page1C we've ever played," Union/ Cove shortstop Keesha Sarman said."It was awesome. There were times when it was difficult for us to keep our spirits up, but we did everything we had to do to pull this one ofKa While the Lady Cats blew severalopportunitiesto take firm control of the game, they also refused to wilt under the immense pressure the Antlers generated down the stretch. With Wright on the m ound for theLady Cats and Rose Anderson pitching for the Antlers, it was clear that scoring runs would be an uphill battle for both teams. Wright's double was the only hit of the first three innings. Both pitchers threw complete games, as Wright had six strikeouts while giving up five hits and no walks and Anderson threw three strikeouts and gave up one walk and seven hits. A lapse in judgment from Union/Cove head coach Paul Phillips in the third inning cost the No. 3 Lady Cats its first chance to put a run on the board. After Sarah Good reached first on a fielder's choice, she stole second base while Baylee Dirk made an errant throw that compelled Phillips as the third base coach to usher Good on to third. Instead, center fielder Erin Tyree easily threw Good out at third. In the next at-bat, Wright hit her first of two doubles that would have scored Good had she stayed at second. "I cost us a run early on trying to get Sarah to third," Phillips said."I felt really bad about it, and we missed some opportunities afterward, but w e were stillabletotakecare ofbusiness." The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourthinning,when Sarman used her deft touch to lay down a bunt that sent Kindra Moore home, as Sarman narrowly beat the throw to first base. After Sarman reached base, the shortstop easily stole second and third. Yet the Lady Cats left one of severalopportunitiesbegging,as Hannah Shanks struck out and Chelsea Houck flied out to end the inning. The Antlers gave a swift response in the top of the fifth, as Arianna McGee crushed a double into center field that fell just short of going over the fence. McGee then advanced to third off a groundout, and the Lady Cats didn't even attempt to throw out Dirk after she laid down a bunt intended to send McGee home. With runners on the corners, the Antlers scored their only run and galvanized their travelling fans after Wright dove for a ball that dribbled inches away from her to get the final out of the inning.

ranching all the time," he said. Bean will compete in rodeos and stock shows that are in the area but does not go on long circuit tours, and said he likes to compete just for fun. "I've been doing this for a long time," he said."I mostly do it as a hobby. There are guys that travel all over the United States to diferent rodeos, but I mainly do it in the Columbia River Circuit." Following the end of the EOLS, the next rodeo Bean will compete in is the Crooked River Roundup in Prineville June 26-29. He said he really enjoyed getting a chance to perform so close to his home, especially with the sunny days that treated Union this past week.

"The weather has been great," Bean said. "Normally this stock show doesn't have weather this good, but it's been beautiful." Other winners at the EOLS included Russell Cardoza of Terrebonne, who earned the all-around cowboy title after finishing third in tie-down roping and steer roping, and second in the team-roping with Spencer Mitchell. Sean Santucci from Prineville claimed first place in the steer wrestling event with a time of 4 seconds-flat, just ahead of Trevor Knowles of Mount Vernon, who finished at 4.1. Hermiston's Brad Goodrich placed first in the tie-down roping at 8.2 seconds. Bryce Palmer, from Milton-Freewater, and Jake Minor of Ellensburg, Wash., won the team roping event, and Brandon Martin of La Grande failed to qualify for the top four after a solid first run.
