Two minivans collided Dec. 16 at the intersection of First and B streets. It's one of Baker City's many "uncontrolled" intersections — those that don't have a stop sign for either street.

By Joshua Dillen Idillen©bakercityherald.com

Intersections. To control or not to control — that is the question. There are many factors that determine the placement of stop signs as controlsatan intersection,according to officials in Baker City, where more than a dozen intersections lack stop slgns. Public Works Director Michelle Owens explained that city planners in the1970s decided that residential areasneed stop signsevery couple of blocks at the most. "They felt that that was an appropriatedesign,"she said. Operations Supervisor Tom Fisk

said Baker City intersections are controlled in a manner that doesn't impede trafftc flow. He said that streets that don't see much trafftc and their corresponding intersections don't need stop signs. "I think some of my predecessors in this position evaluated what they wanted for the major trafftc flows in town," he said. Fisk believes those officials did a good job and they determined where tolocatestop signsprovidea smooth flow of trafftc through town along with safe intersections. Fisk said he wasn't aware of any uncontrolled intersections that are a problem and potentially in need of stop signs.

"I think we're in pretty good shape," he said. Fisk and Owens both explained that residential streets iwith the exception of those in school zones) don't need controls like the main arterials or col lectorstreetsin town Arterials are those that carry the most trafftc through town such as Campbell, Main and 10th Streets. Most of those are state highways as well. Controls on these streets have trafftc signals as well as stop signs. The necessity and placement ofthese controlsisevaluated and managed by the Oregon Department of Transportation. See Stop/Fbge 2A

Have you ever wandered the fiction aisles at the Baker County Library, overwhelmed by the thousands of choices? Bringing along a few literary critics would be handy. Except it might get a little crowded. And loud, what with the inevitable bickering among the experts over whether you ought to check out, say, a Faulkner or a Twain. But there's an easier, and quieter, way to assemble a reading list. And you don't even have to leave home. The Baker County Library District's website — www. bakerlib.org — boasts a bunch of tools that help customers narrow their search, said Diana Pearson, the district's public services librarian. These include "NoveList" and the Wilson Core Collection, both accessible by clicking on the "Research" tab at the upperleftofthe bakerlib. org home page. 5ou'll need to log in with your library card ID num-

Meet Remington Gallegos: Baker City's First Baby of 2015 StAlphonsus Medical Center-Baker City announced the arrival of the hospital's first baby of 2015. Remington Gallegos didn't wait long for the newyear — he was born on Jan.1 at 1:17 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. Remington was born to Shannara McGuire and Anthony Gallegos. Remington is also welcomed by his older brother, Mason McGuire. Both mother and baby are doing well. To commemorate the hospital's New Year's baby, St. Alphonsus presented the family with a basket filled with baby clothes, diapers, blankets, Alphonzo the bear and other items parents of newborns need and enjoy.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 4, 1965 A piece of radioactive equipment fell out of a trailer when a truck and semi transporting the equipment went out of control Sunday some 25 miles west of Baker, state police said today. Two agents of the Atomic Energy Commission at Richland, Wash., investigated the equipment at the scene of the accident and no danger to the area was reported. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 2, 1990 It's official. The town's name change to Baker City went into effect Monday. The change comes after the Nov. 7 election, in which voters approved restoring the town's name to Baker City by 1,752 yes votes to 1,149 no votes. The town had Baker City as its original name upon its incorporation in 1874, but it was changed to Baker in a 1911 election. "I think in general it's going to work out real well for us, said City ManagerArt Reiff. He said participants at the League of Oregon Cities meeting in Eugene knew of the change last fall. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 4, 2005 JimThomas has a succinct summary for why the money to fund an energy assistance program that's popular among Baker County seniors and the disabled has already run out for the winter. "Sometimes," he says dryly, "I think the government forgets that it gets cold in the winter. Thomas, assistant manager at Community Connection of Baker County, is referring to the Low Income Home EnergyAssistance Program, which provides energy assistance payments to about 400 low-income senior and disabled people in the county. Thomas said he's not sure when funds will once again become available. For the time being, Community Connection is adding names to a waiting list. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 10, 2014 Bill Harvey says he believes he and Dick Fleming would make a great team as county commissioners and he's willing to put his career on hold to devote his efforts to the full-time chairman's seat. Fleming, on the other hand, has some other projects he needs to complete that would conflict with the full-time job, Harvey said in a telephone interviewWednesday. That's what led the two men to refile their candidacies Wednesday for county commission seats. Harvey, who will try to unseat Fred Warner Jr. as commission chairman in the Republican primary in May, originally had filed for the position held by Mark Bennett, who was appointed to the commission in May 2013 after Carl Stiff resigned for health reasons. Fleming, 63, who had filed to run againstWarner originally, instead will challenge Bennett.

Dave was born on June 21, 1937, at Clinton, Iowa, to Harry Edward Anderson Dav i d and Pauline Ande rson Ann Dilerang. He was their only child. Dave grew up learning the merits ofhard work on the farm and learned to drive tractor and truck at a young age. He was taught by his father how to both

Dave graduatedfrom Iowa State University in forestry and went to work for the Forest Service, working in the states of Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. His career took him and his family to many beautiful parts of the Pacific Northwest, including the north central Cascade Mountains, Mount Hood, the Elkhorn Mountains, the Wallowa Mountains, and the Snake River drainage around Boise. As a manager of fire and aviation programs within the forest he was able

saidcrash data are evaluated when determining whether an intersection needs stop slgns. "Crash data supports that these uncontrolled intersections are safe. In reality, we don't have a lotofaccidents because people are so cautious," she said. She also said that the data show more accidents happen at control led intersections and between intersections than at the uncontrolled intersections. Paying attention and obeying trafrc laws are the best ways to avoid an accident at uncontrolled intersections. That's the advice Fisk and McCormick offer for local drivers. Common sense is the best way to avoid thattype ofaccident or any accident at such an intersection, Fisk said.

WHAT'S THE lAW REQUIRE? Drivers approaching an uncontrolled intersection must yield to traffic coming from the right.

much drivers need to be cognizant of when they are entering these intersections, and to proceed accordingly. McCormick said failure to yield the right of way is probably the main reason accidents happen at these intersecti ons. Slowing down and paying attention along with obeying trafrc laws are imperative he said. 'The biggest thing I would say is to watch your speed. The speedlimitsaretherefor a reason," McCormick said. "At an uncontrolled intersection you have to yield to the vehicle to the right." On Dec. 16 there was a non-injury accident at the uncontrolled intersection of First and B Streets that caused one of the vehicles involved to flip upside down. During the investigation of that accident, police determined that one of the drivers had failed to yield the right of way. That driver was cited. Data from Baker City Police on accidents at uncontrolled intersections in which the cause was failing to yield the right of way shows there were nine such accidents in 2014. Those drivers were cited for failing to yield.

BOISE — A hunting derby offering $1,000 each for whoever kills the most wolves and coyotes was scheduled to start at sunrise Thursday in east-central Idaho. Idaho for Wildlife's three-day Predator Hunting Contest and Fur Rendezvous is planned on private ranch land and U.S. Forest Service land around Salmon. "I think we're going to have a good turnout," saidSteveAlder,organizerofthecontest.He didn't have an estimate on the number of hunters, though, due to the remoteness of the area. The group this year received permission to include land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, but the agency withdrew the permit in November after two lawsuits by environmental groups.

The derby last year drew 230 people, about 100 of them hunters, who killed 21 coyotes but no wolves.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The new year brings with it good news for older Americans who purchase MedicareAdvantage insurance rather than the original government-run Medicare. In some cases they will be able to change plan providers midyear, rather than wait for the annual election period that runs from mid October to early December. Medicare Advantage plans cover some 15.7 million seniors, nearly 30 percent of all those on Medicare, according to the Heritage Foundation. Those who purchase MedicareAdvantage insurance do so for a year at a time during the election period, and they may change plans at other times only under very limited circumstances, such as when a purchaser moves to an area in which his or her current plan is not available. The insurer's decision to drop clinics or other provider groups has not been among the conditions in which plan purchasers can look for new coverage, however, and that's been a problem. In Connecticut, for example, UnitedHealthcare/AARP cut 1,200 physicians in a single practice early this year, leaving thousands without coverage for doctors they had relied upon and without the ability to change insurance plans until late this year. Similar cuts happened in nine other states, as well. Had thecuts been scheduled forFebruary 2015, things might have been different. Starting next year the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that oversees the two programs, will have the power to create special threemonth enrollment periods when Advantage plans cut their ties with clinics. That doesn't mean that all those who find their doctors are no longer covered by theirAdvantage plan will be able to move at will. CMS will make that decision on a case-by-case basis, Kaiser Health News says, and it will consider such things as the number of people affected by a change, the plan's service area size and the number of other providers available. From a patient's standpoint, the change is far from perfect, for some unknown number of providers are likely to be dropped with no special enrollment period available to their patients. Still, it's better than nothing — a small but badly needed improvement.

T e worst of gove e n tred tape As 2014comestoa close,itisenveloped in redtape.Fmm the breakfasttableto the night light, governmentregulators invaded nearlyeverymoment ofour lives. Here's our take on the 10 worst examples of the pastyear: 10. Federal Censorship Commission. The FCC began considering a petition to revoke the bmadcast license of a Washington, D.C., radio station for using the name of the city's football team, the Redskins. FCC chairman Tom Wheeler declared the moniker"offensive" and urged owner Dan Snyder to change it"voluntarily."The agency has yet to rule on the petition. 9.April Fool's Rule. The Volcker Rule prohibits banks fmm trading securities on their own accounts. The 1,000-page regulation crafted by five federal agencies over three years supposedlyremedies one of the causes of the 2008 fmancial crisis. But there is no evidence to support thatclaim. That the rule took effect onApril Fool's Dayis thus entirely appropriate. 8. EPA's power grab. Inits quest to replace cheap and reliable fossil fuels with costly and unreliable"renewables," the EPAin June unveiled new restrictions on so-c alled greenhouse gasemissions fmm existing power plants. These hugely expensive regulations ate all the more maddening for accomplishing virtually nothing to impact the dimate or protect human health. 7. Uber iegulation. The popular ridesharing service Uber is changing the way Americans get amund town. Its fleet of independent drivers offers an efficient alternative to traditional taxis. Yet Uber faces significanthurdles as local regulators try to stop its expansion, claimirg that the service is"unfair" to the excessivelyregulatedcabdrivers.Sofar,though,U berand its loyal customers have fought off those

Winter ues: P I got my flu shot this fall but I've been infected by a powerful seasonal virus anyway. And no inoculation exists, so far as I know, for this afffiction. I'm obsessed with planning summer hiking trips. That this inclination consumes me every year about this time, when our favorite trails in the Elkhorns and the Wallowas are obscured by snow and will not emerge in some cases for seven months, seems cruel. It's like strapping on snowshoes in August and clanking around on the sun-baked asphalt. Well, actually it's pretty much the opposite ofthat. In both cases, though, the desire must go unfulfilled. Unlike the flu and other actual viruses, this one doesn't cause nausea or fever or other unpleasant symptoms. I can happily while away an hour of a winter's afternoon poring over maps and guidebooks and photographs with nothing but a minor case of eyestrain. These diversions can be nostalgic, in the case of trails I've already hiked, or, for those I've not, tinged with that special quality of the unknown.

JAYSON JACOBY M ostly it'sbeen thelattersofar this year. I'm hoping next summer to visit one of the jewels of the Eagle Cap W ilderness that sofarhasavoided my boots: Echo Lake. To be specific, the northern Echo Lake. The people who named lakes in the Eagle Cap boast an admirable record, itseems to me ,ofresisting the temptation to overindulge in such geographic cliches as rock or pine or square. Indeed the wilderness abounds with unusual monikers, including Aneroid and Catched Two and Tombstone. But apparently somebody forgot to compare notes in one case. And so the Eagle Cap, which is Oregon's largestwilderness and its most amply endowed with lakes, has two Echo Lakes. At least they're not near one another.

Boise State (12-2l raced to a 21-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes behind a string ofbig plays before allowing Arizona to claw its way back. The Wildcats marched quickly down the field in the closing seconds, but Kamalei Correa sacked Anu Solomon at the 10 on the final play.

The Wildcats rallied, but had trouble finishing drives, settling forthreefield goals after driving deep into Boise State's end.

Arizona won bowl games its first two seasons under Rich Rodriguez and took a big step this season, winning the Pac-12 South Division to earn a spot in an upper-tier bowl for the first time since the 1994 Fiesta Bowl. Adding to the intrigue, the Broncos and Wildcats have two of the nation's most prolific offenses, setting up what was expected to be a wild game. It certainly lived up to the billing at the start. The big-play Broncos burst out of the gate with long touchdowns on their first two drives: a 56-yard touchdown run by Ajayi and a 57-yard TD hookup between Hedrick and Chaz

ATLANTA — Gary Patterson knew just what to say when asked if TCU's rout of Mississippi was a statement the Horned Frogs should have been in the four-teamplayoK "I don't think I have to say anything," Patterson said. No need. The Horned Frogs said it all on the field. Playing like a team motivated by the playofF snub, No. 6 TCU rode three touchdown passes from Trevone Boykin and a dominant defense to a 42-3 rout of No. 9 Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl on Wednesday. Josh Doctson had two touchdown catches and Aaron Green ran for a score and added a touchdown reception for the Horned Frogs (12-1l. eWe showed Atlanta, the crowd and everyone that we deserve to be in the playoffs competing for the national championship," said receiver Kolby

Listenbee, who threw a touchdown pass and had a scoring catch. Added Doctson:"I think people around the nation will be talking about us for a while now." TCU fans also were thinking of the national championship they can't win. Late in the third quarter, when the lead was 42-0, TCU fans targeted the No. 1 seed in the playofF when they chantedcWe want Bama!" Ole Miss (9-4l lost four of its last six games. Bo Wallace threw three interceptions, including one caught in the Rebels end zone by defensive end James McFarland for a touchdown. TCU looked like a championship contender to Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze. "TCU is a very good team," Freeze said."They deserved every mention they got this year to be in the hunt for one of the four.... I'm glad I'm not on that committee to pick the four. They certainly could compete with any of the four in it, there's no question in my mind."

The action was as lopsided as the score. TCU finished with 423 yards and allowed only 129 to Ole Miss. The Rebels were held to 9 yards rushing in the biggest margin of victory in Peach Bowl history. TCU led 28-0 at halfbme. cThe first half was like a straight punch in the mouth," said Ole Miss tight end Evan Engram. Ole Miss ranked first in the nation with its average of only 13.8 points allowed. Turnovers and TCU's quickstrike offense were too much to overcome. W allace completed only 10 of23 passesfor 109 yards with threeinterceptions. The Rebels avoided the shutout when Gary Wunderlich kicked a 27-yard field goal with 7:18 remaining.

By Stephen Hawklns AP Sports Wrrter

ARLINGTON, Texas — Connor Cook and the Michigan State Spartans want to have a different role in the playofF talk next season. With their big comeback finish in the Cotton Bowl, the No. 7 Spartans could be set up as a viable championship contender next season, after their only losses this season were to playofFteams. Michigan State scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter on New Year's Day to beat playofF-snubbed and No. 4 Baylor 42-41 in the highest-scoring Cotton Bowl ever. "For us to win in such an emotional and dramatic fashion like you just saw out there, really just I think with all the guys coming back, all the juniors, really just makes us feel good and brings us closer together," said Cook, who threw a 10-yard TD pass to Keith Mumphery with 17 seconds left.

PASADENA, Calif — Touchdown. Turnover. Touchdown. Turnover. Touchdown. And on it went for Oregon. Marcus Mariota and the Ducks are built for speed and in a flash they turned the first College Football Playoff semifinal game into a Rose Bowl rout. The Ducks dusted Florida State 59-20 on Thursday and now it's on to Texas to try to win their first national championship. "It's incredible.I'm so proud oftheseguys righthere,"Ma riota said.aWe've got one m ore to take care of." Pac-12 champion Oregon (13-1) will play Ohio State in the title game Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas. Ohio State beat Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night. The second-seeded Ducks scored six straight times they touched the ball in the second half, with five of the touchdowns coveringatleast21yardsand the lastfour coming after Florida State turnovers. In a span of 12:54 on the game clock, the scorewent from 25-20 to 59-20. "A lot of fun," said Oregon coach Mark Helfrich of the Ducks' run,"but at the same time these guys were able to retain a tremendous focus." In the matchup of Heisman Trophy winners, Jameis Winston matched Mariota's numbers, but the Seminoles (13-1) were no match for the Ducks. Third-seeded Florida State's winning streak ended at 29. In Winston's first loss as acollege starter,m aybe hislastgame in college, he threw for 348 yards and turned the ball over twice. "I think what he did as a competitor and what he does with his teammates, he's one of the great players in not only college football, but college football history to me," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said."It was a tough day out there." Mariota was mostly brilliant again. Directing the Ducks' warp-speed, hurry-up offense, thejuniorpassed for 338 yards and two touchdowns. When he sprinted for a 23-yard touchdown with 13:56 left in the fourth quarter it made the score 52-20 and it made the Ducks the first team to reach 50 points in Rose Bowl history. This was game No. 101. "The longer you go, the stronger you get," said Ducks safety Erick Dargan, who forceda fumble and intercepted a pass. aWe went longer and we stayed stronger.

Ducks rewrite Rose Bowl record book PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — It was a Rose Bowl to remember for Oregon, and one to forget to Florida State. Unfortunately for the Seminoles, the record book of the Granddaddy of Them All is now filled with reminders of their humiliation. The Ducks broke 10 Rose Bowl records, headlined by scoring the most points (59) in the history of the event and securing the largest non-shutout margin of victory (39). Oregon had 639 yards of total offense to break Pac-12 Conference foe Southern California's 7-year-old mark, and theDucks had eighttouchdowns to match Michigan's total in 1902, back when a touchdown was worth five points. And the 27-point third-quarter blitz by Oregon matched the most points ever scored in a quarter, equaling lllinois in 1952 and the loaded Miami Hurricanes team that won the BCS title in 2002. Linebacker TonyWashington'sbackbreaking 58-yard scoop and score in the third quarter was the longest fumble return ever in the game.

other." The fi rstplayofFgame at collegefootball's highestlevel,the type ofpostseason game fans have longed for forever,looked likeit would be a classic for about two and a half quarters. Under a cloudless sky, on a chilly day in Pasadena, the Rose Bowl featured the third matchup of Heisman Trophy winners and a couple of quarterbacks who could be vying to be the first overall pick in April's NFL draft. On the same field where Florida State erased an 18-point deficit against Auburn to win the national title last year, the Seminoles trailed at half for the sixth time this season. And then the hole got deeper. Seminoles freshman Dalvin Cook was stripped by Derrick Malone Jr. with Florida State in Oregon territory. The Ducks quickly flipped the field and Royce Freeman scored his second touchdown of the day from 3 yards out to make it 25-13.

NEW ORLEANS — Ezekiel Elliott sprinted down the field, nothing between him and the end zone. Cardale Jones was righton hisheels,eager tojoin thecelebration. They can keep right on running. Next stop, the national championship game. Elliott shredded the fearsome Alabama defense and Jones again proved to be a worthy replacement at quarterback, leading Ohio State to a stunning 42-35 victory over the top-ranked Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night. The Buckeyes (13-1) advanced to face Oregon in the Jan. 12 title game at Arlington, Texas. Without the new playoff, they never would've had a chance. "Obviously, we're really thankful for the playofF system," said Elliott, knowing the fourth seed would've been shut out under the old BCS system that only rewarded the two highest-ranked teams."They gave us a chance to go out there and show that we're one of the better teams in the nation and we deserve to be in the national championship." No doubt about that. Ohio State rallied from an early 21-6 deficit, scoring 28 straight pointsagainst the Crimson Tide (12-2). Then, with the Buckeyes clinging to a 34-28 lead, Elliott came up with the play that essentially sealed the victory with 3 V2 minutes remaining. Right after Jones twisted for a 1-yard gain on third down to keep the possession alive, Elliott took a handofFaround the left side, broke one feeble swipe at his ankles, and keptright on running foran 85-yard touchdown. Jones wasn't too far behind, jumping on his teammate's back after they got to the end zone. Oregon advanced to the title game with a 59-20 rout of defending national champion Florida State in the other semifinal at the Rose Bowl. The Ducks' performance was impressive, indeed, but Ohio State coach Urban Meyer likes his team's chances after taking down a team seeking its fourth national title in six years. aWe're good enough," Meyer said."That was a classic." Here's some things we learned in Ohio State's Sugar Bowl win:

COLOSSAL CARDALE Before the game, Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen compared the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Jones to a linebacker and said his size could create "a matchup problem." Indeed it did. Though three sacks limited Jones' net yards rushing to 43 yards, he had several first-down scrambles including a 27-yard gain. Throw in 243 yards passing and it was another solid performance for a quarterback making only his second career start.

SEC OUT For much of the season, the SEC West was touted as the toughest division in the toughest conference. Alabama's loss not only droppedthedivision to 2-5in bowl games, but ensured the conference would be without a team in the national title game for the first time since 2005, when Vince Young led Texas past Southern California.

POROUS ALABAMA The Crimson Tide simply wasn't as dominant defensively as it had been in recent seasons, and not even a couple extra weeks to prepare for the Sugar Bowl could cover up deficiencies exposed in several games this season. The Tide allowed Ohio State to rack up 537 total yards. And this time it wasn't just the secondary that got gashed. Alabama's run defense, which came in ranked second nationally at 88.6 yards per game, allowed a season-high 281 on the ground.

STOPPING COOPER Ohio State will be facing Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota and the highscoring Oregon offense, but the Buckeyes already proved they can limit one of the nation's bestplayers.Alabama receiver Amari Cooper, a Heisman finalist who came in with 115 catches and a nation-leading 1,656 yards, was held to 71 yards on nine catches.

TRICK PLAY With a Meyer-coached offense, you can always count on something a little out of the ordinary. This time, it was a trick play near the end of the first half that gave the Buckeyes all the momentum. Jones handed ofF to receiver Jalin Marshall on an apparent end-around, Marshall flipped it to Evan Spencercoming the otherway, and Spencer suddenly pulled up and threw toward Michael Thomas in the end zone. He leaped up to make a twisting catch and somehow got his left foot down just inside the line for a 13-yardscore,oneofthe m ostspectacular catches of the season.

Ducks favored in title game Ohio State is looking for its first national title since 2002. Oregon is seeking its first, period. Pac-12champion Oregon and Big Ten champion Ohio State will meet in Arlington, Texas, at the home of the Cowboys on Jan. 12 in the first College Football Playoff championship game. The Ducks (13-1) and Buckeyes (13-1) last played in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, in 2010. Ohio State won that game 26-17.Now the Rose Bowl comes toTexas, but with so much more at stake. The oddsmakers have installed the Ducks as seven-point favorites. — Ralph D. Russo, AP SportsWriter

ATLANTA — The flu has officially reached an epidemic threshold, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At least 15 children have died from flu-related deaths across the country, according to the CDC. A 3-year-old child in Georgia recently died from flu-related complications, according to latest flu report released Wednesday by the Georgia Department of Public Health. In Georgia, there have been of 12 flurelateddeaths thisyear since Oct. 1. Most of the deaths involvedadults65 and older. Last year at this time, there were 8 flu-associated deaths in Georgia. The flu season is in full swing with the flu widespread in Georgia and much of the country. State data suggest flu season may have peaked earlier this year than last. State health department spokeswoman Nancy Nydam said at this time last year, flu activity was low and intensitywas 4ion a scale of1-10, 10 being the highest). This year flu activity is widespread and intensity is 10 — and has been for the past 2-3 weeks. There have been 459 people hospitalized this year in for flu-related illness in metro Atlanta area. One reason forthe bad fl u seasonisthisyear'svaccine isnotconsidered as effective. The dominant flu strain this year — H3N2 — has mutated, and only about half of the cases match the vaccine,

The CDC said flu shots may still offer some protection against drifted viruses, which could help lessen the severity of the symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, such as hospitalization and death. Flu shots also will still protect against flu strains that have not mutated, such as the influenza A iH1N1l virus and the B viruses contained in the vaccine. Since experts must pick which viruses to include in the vaccine several months in advance to produce and deliver thevaccineforthe upcoming flu season, there's always this risk that the circulating viruses will deviate from the ones used for the vaccine.

time to change the vaccine for this flu season. In past years, H3N2 strainshave tended to be more severe, sending more people to the hospital than other strains — and causing more deaths, especially among the elderly, children and people with weakened immune systems. The flu usually takes the highest toll on the very young and the very old. Depending on the season, the flu claims the lives of anywhere between 3,000 and 49,000 people a year in the United States. Even when some circulating virusesare different from the vaccine viruses, the CDC continues to strongly recommend vaccination against the flu. While the vaccine may be less effective against drifted viruses, it can still protect m any people and prevent fl urelated complications. Facing a nasty flu season, getting a vaccinethat provides even partial protection may be more important than ever, according to the CDC.

A lifetime ago, in the snow bound Rocky Mountains, my friends and I began a tradition of fishing New Year's Day. Regardless ofhow early or late we went to bed we would meet up and go fishing Jan. 1st. This tradition carried on briefly after moving to Oregon, then passed away to the place many New Year's traditions end up, namely on the couch watching football. Unwilling to let go of the tradition, especially one involving fishing, I rallied last year. After much boondoggling and a considerable amount of proselytizing I convinced two fiiends to go fishing shortly after New Year's. While said fishing trip took place Jan. 2nd, it was close enough to feel like the old days, requiring a lot of warm clothes, WD40 for spraying on the rod guides and reel to keep things from freezing up, and some major foodgroups,namely leftover Christmas cookies, beef jerky, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Only what greeted us last year was a forty degree day, a cooler full of steelhead, and a general feeling of unfrozenness. Happily awed at our good fortune, it was by far the fishiest and warmest New Year's fishing trip I'd ever been on. That it involved freshly caught steelhead, and a freshly cooked meal, a bonus. So what's the fishing going to be like Jan 2015? This December's reports on the Grande Ronde and Wallowa Rivers have been mixed, but with the amount of fishing traffic, and fish still moving into the system mixed should be expected. As temperaturesand river levels rose with early December's rain, then dropped toward the end of the month, new ish have worked theirw ay f up river.

A flock of turkeys search for food in a field. By Gary Lewis WesCom News Service

"Shopping for a turkey could be so much more interesting," my daughter Mikayla said. aYou want a Christmas turkey? Here you go."And the grocer chucks your Butterball into a ravine.

In addition to conferring a healthy measure of prestige, the award also comes with a substantial infusion of research funding:

TRISHYERGES

Can't sing onkey or dance to a beat?

Feeling hopeless about the Hu B

y now you've read the news this year's flu shot is largely ineffective. The prime viral target mutated and is unaffected by the flu shot. Still,the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other experts urge us to get the shot anyway. News like this can leave one feeling hopeless and vulnerable. Stay tuned.

Why people get sick has been debated throughout medical history. How important is your state ofhealth versus how important is the pathogen? Louis Pasteur argued that disease was caused by the pathogen, that the condition of the terrain was unimportant. Bechamp maintained that the "terrain" or the person's health was more important. Bechamp argued that while a pathogen can be associated with an illness it doesn't always cause it; sometime people are exposed to a pathogen but don't get sick, The presence of germs does not constitute the presence of disease, he maintained. He thought the"terrain" upon which a pathogen landed was more important than the pathogen. Like the farmer's seed, a pathogen needs certain conditions to thrive. These days, conventional medical treatments focus on the pathogen and usually ignore the terrain. Awareness and training in how our bodies stay healthy is seen mostly in "alternative" medical practitioners. I believe both Pasteur and Bechamp made good points and that Bechamp's "terrain" is usually overlooked in the current medical system. If they were alive today, Pasteur might be worried because this year's flu shot is ineffective, but Bechamp might say: "So what, let's get busy making the terrain hostile to invaders." Our world is teeming with microbes. They are on our skin, in our bodies and on everything we touch — everywhere. Our bodies have known this a long time. Some of these microbes are necessaryto life,som e are pathogenic. Our defense mechanisms must know the differenceand aredesigned accordingly. There are daily challenges to our health by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites and we almost always are able to keep them in check. The yearly flu shot SeeWinters / Page 5C

A second study, among pre-K and kindergarten children in four schools in rural Virginia, found that calories, fat, saturated fatand sugar were significantly higher and protein, fiber and calcium were significantly lower in lunches brought from home than in the meals served in school. A third study examined food selection and plate waste by elementary and middle school children in four schools in an urban, low-income school district before and after introduction of the new meal standards. Juliana Cohen and co-authors found no increase in waste and a significantly greater selection and consumption ofvegetablesand fruitsfrom the improved menus.

Q: What is tone deafness? A: When most people use the term"tone dealness," they are referring to sensory hearing loss. This is the most common type of hearing loss that adults experience. This type ofhearing losscan be gradual over many years or it can be sudden with an onset of only a few hours or days. Q: Why can't some people sing on pitch? A: The cochleais the hearing organ. It has microscopic hair cells that move in response to sound and act as a natural amplifier. When these hair cells stop functioning properly, the person will acquire sensory hearing loss and will not hear some of the pitches normally or at all. The hearing loss could be caused by a number of things including noise exposure, genetic factors, chemotherapy, viral illness in the cochlea or strong, life-saving antibiotics. As a hearing loss progresses, itm ay become poor enough that an individual's cochlea has "dead regions." This suggests that the perceptionofsome pitches would be altered, usually the high-pitch tones. In the presence of normal peripheral hearing, when the cochlea is functioning SeeYerges / Page 5C

Regort:4millionactive enrollinhealth glans By Carla K. Johnson The Associated Press

The first 50-state report on the latest sign-up season under President Barack Obama's health care law shows that more than 4 million people selected plans for the first time or re-enrolled in what the administration called "an encouraging start." More than 3.4 million people enrolled using HealthCare.gov as of Dec. 15, and more than 600,000 peopleselected plans in the

state-runmarketplaces,according to a Department of Health and Human Services report released Tuesday. The figures are generally up-todate through Dec. 13. About half of those enrolling are first-timers and half are returning customers, suggestingthere are about 2 million Americans new to the program. The figures look good for the administration meeting its goal of 9.1 million customers signed up and paying premiums in 2015, indepen-

"I really think they need to get to 13 million this year to have a sustainable program, not this low-ball estimate that nobody takes seriously," said Washington, D.C.-based health care consultant Robert Laszewski. cWe don't know how many ofthesepeople are going to pay. And we don't know how many of the existing people aregoingtore-enroll." Young adults still aren't flocking to the program, which could increase costs down the road. About 24

dent experts said. But they predicted the program won't meet another target: the 13 million enrollments forecast by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget 0$ce in 2015. "It would take a massive surge in enrollment over the next six weeks" to reach 13 million, said Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation.

Maintain your resolutions throughout 2015 S ki conditioning classscheduled for Tuesday

Two kinds offish

Making resolutions is one thing. Maintaining them through the year is another. Here are some tips to stay on track through all of 2015: • Focus on one change at a time. Start with the one goal that's most important for you. • • Aim big, start small. Breakyour goal into specific, small, doable steps. •Workwith a buddy. Some people enlist a friend or co-worker to be a coach, cheerleader, sounding board or fellow goal-seeker. • Keep going. Even if you stumble, get up and dust offyourdreams.
