BILL INTRODUCED IN OREGON LEGISLATURE

Kathy Orr / Baker City Herald

New snow dusted the tops of the Elkhorn Mountains Saturday morning, the final day of February. That was a rare scene during the month, which ranks as the fourth-warmest on record at the Baker City Airport. Weather forecasts for the week can be found on Page 10B.

February in its final week finally started acting like, well, February.

Until then it felt rather more like April.

The latespellofseasonably chilly weather kept the month from sett ing arecord asthe mildest February since at least 1943 in Baker City.

But it still ranks as the fourth-warmest.

The average high temperature for the month at the Baker CityAirportwas 49.6degrees.

That's almost 9degrees above average.

And it's the highest average since February 1992, which retains its title as record-holder, with an average high of 51.0 degrees.

WINTER WARMTH WARMEST AVERAGE HIGHTEMPERATURES FOR FEBRUARY

1992: 51.0' 1963: 50.1' 1970: 49.9' 201 5: 49.6' 1995: 49.2' +at the Baker CityAirport

The runner-up is February 1963, with an average high of 50.1 degrees. February 1970 holds third-place, at 49.9.

This February, except for the first couple days, never was especially wintry.

On 14of the first 22 days the temperature reached or exceeded 50 degrees.

Four of those days set daily records for warmth, including 62 degrees on Feb. 7. That was thesecond-earliest60-degreeplus day in any year at the alrport. iThe earliest is Jan. 31, 2003, when the high was 61.)

February's final week wasn't frigid. But temperatures dropped enough — just two of seven days above 50, and one day, the 22nd, with a high of just 38 — to drag the monthly averagebelow the record level.

Although most of the warmer days during February were also sunny, the month was actually slightly wetter than usual. The monthly rainfall total was .71 of an inch; average is .62.

Bentz would impose a criminal sanction on people who participate in online impersonation, and permit those harmed by the action to sue for damages.

Bentz, R-Ontario, said he was approached by constituents after a recent election to help get the bill off the ground.

"I was asked by some folks to bring the bill.

There had been an allegation of someone pretending to be someone else. They did it online so it appeared they were someone else and they weren't," Bentz said.

Bentz said the issue revolved amund someone trying to inquire about support for a specific candidate.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald March 2, 1965 A search continued today for a Halfway man reported lost last night on the Sparta Hill Road some five miles west of New Bridge, Sheriff's deputies said this morning.

The Baker County Sheriff's Posse searched all night for Ross Turner, about 80, and additional members of the Posse joined in the search today.

The search hasbeen concentrated some 25 mileseast of Baker in the foothills between the two Sparta Roads and the river, deputies said.

Baker Police hope to replace dog

Legal marijuana may force a dognamed Zoey intoearly retirement come July.

Zoey, a Belgian Malinois w ho is trained todetect marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin, has recovered more than 40 pounds of drugs in her two years as a drug detection K-9 for the Bend Police Department, according to Bend Police Lt. Nick Parker.

But Zoeymay be out ofa job soon. When possessing limited amounts of marijuana becomes legal in Oregon on July 1, dogs trained to alert on its scent may become a liability rather than an asset.

That's largely because the reaction ofa drug dog trainedtodetectmarijuana won't constitute a basis for searching the property or person in question. The dog's reaction no longer can indicate an illegal substance may be present, Parker said.

For example, ifduring a trafIIc stop Zoey picked up on another drug that will continue to be illegal — such as methamphetaminethat reaction isn't suKcient probable cause to conduct a search because she also alerts to a legal substance.

"That negates our ability to use that evidence to further conduct searches," Parker said.Italso negatescourt testimony: A K-9 handler must be able to say under oaththatthedog detected

By Chris Collins ccollins©bakercityherald.com

If, as Baker City Police ChiefWyn Lohner, expects, Turbo, the city's drug detection dog is forced into retirement on July 1, the chief says he's ready to put together a plan to secure funding for another dog.

Turbo, who will turn 10 this month, would have retired in another year or two anyway, Lohnersays.Butthe November passage of the law making recreational marijuana legal for those 21 and older in Oregon probably will end his career early.

Lohner said he will be meeting with DistrictAttorney Matt Shirtcliff for a final determination on the matter.

"I'm 99 percent sure that's what's going to happen," Lohner said ofTurbo's early retirement.

If it does, Lohner plans to "challenge" Steve Folkestad, organizer of the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally, to raise the $10,000 to $15,000 to buy a new dog. The rally has been an ongoing supporter ofTurbo over the years along with golf tournaments, other community organizations and the PortlandbasedMaybelle ClarkMacdonald Fund.

Since passage of the recreational marijuana bill in Oregon, dogs are being trained to respond to heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine, but not to the presence of marijuana, Lohner said.

an illegal substance, Parker sald.

For its part, Redmond Police do not yet have a contingency plan for Ike, its drug dog, according to Redmond Police Chief Dave Tarbet.

"Statewide, a lotofagencies are looking to replace theirdogs or retirethem,"

The city has $15,000 to $20,000 in a fund used to pay for future overtime paid to the dog handler when he and the animal are called out and for veterinary bills for the dog, Lohner said.

"Turbo has cost the city virtually nothing," Lohner said.

Even the vehicle driven by handler Rand Weaver was paid for by a federal grant, he sald.

Weaver, Turbo's third handler, has worked with the dog for about five years. Wayne Chastain started withTurbo and developed the city's drug dog detection program, but then was deployed to Iraq for two years in his role with the Oregon National Guard.

Officer Mike Harris then took over working withTurbo for a short period before leaving Baker City to join the La Grande Police Department.

Weaver was then assigned as the dog's handler and partner.

Lohner has faith in Folkestad and his fellow motorcyclists' ability to raise the money needed.

"The goal is to have a dog operational by the end of the summer," Lohner said.

In addition to the drugs Turbo has found in his searches over the years, Lohner believes the dog's presence alone has served as a deterrent.

"The drugcommunity knows," he said.

"The greatest benefit is the unknown."

said Tarbet.'We haven't got that far as what we're going to do with Ike." Meanwhile, the Deschutes County SherifFs Office has been set to retireits drug dog this year,according to Deschutes County SheriA"s Capt. Erik Utter.

ors ee s It's a perennial problem with no easy solution.

Baker City's streets are, well, not crumbling, exactly. Not rapidly, anyway.

But they are deteriorating, and have been for more than a decade.

Trouble is, neither of the two main sources of money to maintain streets — the state gas tax, and local property taxes — has been rising. And in the case of the gas tax, the city's share has been flat or declining slightly the past few years, the result of new, more fuel-eKcient vehicles gradually but steadily replacing old gas-guzzlers.

A complicating factor is the likelihood that the Oregon Legislature will pass, and Gov. Kate Brown will sign, a bill extending the state's low-carbon fuels standard, which could boost gas prices by up to 19 cents per gallon by 2025.

But that's only half of the problem.

As the condition of a street worsens, the cost to fix it grows. For instance, a street in good shape generally requires an occasional fog seal treatment, at an estimatedcostof$2.55 per square yard. Yet a street rated as fair — about one-third of Baker City's 60 miles of paved streets is in that condition — can cost more than twice as much (and in some cases considerably more than that) to bring back to very good

shape.

None of this is news to city oKcials.

Indeed, City Manager Mike Kee said he expects the street maintenance dilemma will be a key topic when the City Council meets later this month to discuss its goals.

In one sense the situation is simple: The city needs to spend more money on streets to reverse the inexorable downward trend and to prevent the fix from getting even more expensive.

But the sources of that money — a local gas tax or a monthly surcharge are two possibilities — are certainto be controversial.

Before the city takes any proposal to voters, we'd like to see oKcials assemble a comprehensive report that not only explains the situation — the city's annualpavement management reportalready does that — but also estimates the cost to repair the city's most dilapidated streets based on a wide range of timeframes and strategies.

The value of such a report is that it would show city residents how much it might cost them to smooth the streets. A new tax or fee might be more palatable if residents understand that procrastination could cost them more in the end, whether in dollarsor potholes,or both.

Weaker U.S. in a dangerous world The world seems to be becoming more dangerous these days. Not so coincidentally, America's military power continues to decline rapidly.

Before considering how and why, here's a snapshot of what's happening around the globe: • Russia has annexed Crimea, is dismembering Ukraine, is probing the defenses of Northern Europe, and is again casting a covetous eye on the Baltic and South Caucasus states. Vladimir Putin is exploiting not only Europe's dependence on Russia's energy resources and markets but also its anemic military condition, getting all he can while the gettingisgood.

• The Islamic State, homicidally focused on dragging the world back to the seventh century, has carved a caliphate out of the dysfunctional states of Syria and Iraq. It's fomenting instability across the region through its surrogates and franchises and other like-minded violent Islamists in Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Nigeria.

• Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons capabili ty,betting on thedesperation of the U.S. to secure a"deal" that would make it impossible for us to stop them from succeeding.

• China is entrenching itself in disputed waters, fortifying atolls, muscling away the fishing and commercial fleets of competitor claimants, and contesting international airspace. Meanwhile, it's exploiting vulnerabilities in America's cyber shields to steal intellectual property worth billions of dollars and millions of man-hours, penetrate government and financial sector systems, and conduct deep cyber reconnaissance of America's national critical infrastructure.

DAKOTA L. WOOD In times past, the United States would have risen to such challenges to its security interests and to the existing globalorder,asitdid when the Soviet Union or China sought to export their brands of communism. America's confident strength steadied friends and allies and pushed back against belligerent opportunism.

But thosedays appear tobereceding.

The U.S. has elevated other interests to higher priority ias a look at the federal budget readily shows), and the U.S. military's ability to protect America's global interests is in freefall.

In fact, the U.S. military now finds itself in a state where it would be unable to successfully handle two major conflicts in different parts of the world, a long-held objective of national security

policy.

America's Navy, at 285 ships, is approaching pre-World War I levels; its Air Force flies planes more than a quarterof-a-century old isome more than a half-century); the Army is approaching half the size deemed necessary just a few years ago; and the Marines, with demand for their shrinking force at record highs, have committed indefinitely to near-continuous rotational deployments oftheiroperatingforces.

This problem did not suddenly emerge. It has slowly, but relentlessly evolved as funding for the base-budget has declined in constant dollars, and the cost for manpower, equipment, and weapons has steadily risen. Extended production timelines for expensive, high-end platforms, sustained use of the forcefor the pastdecade or mo re,and

lack of funding to replace items that are retiredor lostin combat, havecombined to result in a force that is older, smaller and more worn out.

All the details can be found in The Heritage Foundation's inaugural Index of U.S. Military Strength, an annual publication that assesses the condition of America's military forces and their ability to meet national security requirements. It also evaluates the condition of key allies and their regions as they affect the ability of U.S. forces to conduct operationsabroad,asw ellaswho poses direct, high-level challenges to U.S. national security interests.

Some may suggest looking to America's allies. Though reasonably stable and steadfast, they arelesscapable dueto their own neglect of their military forces.

We can't assume thegl be able to contribute much. Further, competitors that poseserious challenges toAmerica are investing heavily in military capabilities carefully matched to their own circumstancesand objectives,increasing the challenges our forces would face.

These trends are ominous, to say the least, especially because it'sfareasierto decline still further than to make rapid improvements that take substantial time, money and attention — all of which seem to be in short supply.

The 2015 Index of U.S. Military Strength makes it clear that unless we take agreaterinterestin the state of our security — now — we may be in for some serioustrouble.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Wy en as e r i Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, isin the thick of the negotiations about how the United States should handle trade deals.

Critics agonize that Wyden's plans are

going to be bad, bad, bad — bad for U.S. workers, bad for foreign countries and bad for democracy. But Wyden has got this right.

The debate is about fast-track authority.

In other countries, the legislative branch and the executive branch typically work more closely together. The U.S. is set up so

t a ro a c t o tra ene otiations

the president has the authority to negotiate with other countries. Congress regulates commerce with foreign nations.

Without legislation to smooth that conflict, the overlapping authority on trade deals between the president and Congress can be like checks and balances on steroids.

The president' steam could negotiate allit wanted. Then 535 congressmen would get their hands on the deal. Trade deals would stall, meander or have to begin again.

The solution was the fast track. Congress

has agreedin thepasttovote on trade deals negotiated by the president within a set time limit and without fiddling with them.

Congress did have to approve the talks in advance, and trade negotiators had to keep Congress up-to- date on the discussions.

But some in Congress are nervous about granting that authority again. They worry the closednegotiations subvert open government. And there's always worry about what a tradedealcould mean forjobs.

Wyden is negotiating the new authority

with Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. Wyden wants access to negotiation documents for members of Congressand staffwith appropriateclearance.

He also wants "much stronger enforcement of the rules to hold trade cheats accountable, strong protections for labor, human rights and the environment, and new rules that are fundamental to preserving free speech and the exchange of ideas over the Internet."

Wyden has the smart track for fast track.

SALEM — The final two weeks former Gov. John Kitzhaber was in office were shroudedin questions. Even hisstafFappeared not to know where he was much of the time, and he made no public appearance.

Records obtained by the Statesman Journal show that between Feb. 5 and 18, Kitzhaber was engaged in less and less state business.

He used much of his time for personal businessor appointments with no obvious ties to his role in the Governor's OfFIce. Even before other Democrats were calling for Kitzhaber's resignation, his focusappeared to bedrifting elsewhere.

The following are the events scheduled for Kitzhaber during his final two weeks. His schedule was not detailed, and informational context has been added where possible.

BRIEFING

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercttyherald.com

It's obvious that to win in any sport you have to have more points than your opponent.

That not only applies at the end of the game, but during the action as well.

Baker i14-12l found that out the hard way Friday, losing a Class 4A state boys basketball play-in game to North Marion 65-59 at BHS. Baker fell behind 7-0 to startthegame, battled back to take a halfbme lead, then fell behind again in the third periodand could never quite catch up again. eYou just can't have scoring droughts," said Baker coach Joel Richardson.cWe were very complacent at times.

We were just searching for the combination of guys that would work."

North Marion made just one field goal in the first three minutes of the game, but still led 7-0. That's because the Huskies went to the free throw line eight times during that same stretch.

Both Logan Scott and Logan Sand went to the Baker bench with two early fouls.

Baker finally lit the scoreboard with 3:44 left in the first quarter when Aiden Hayes drove thebaselinefor

Baker's Aiden Hayes winces as he is hit by two North Marion players Friday evening.

0S to take a 23-19 lead.

Srack, Bruce, Brandon Stairs, Sand and Hayes each hit a basket. Taylor Gulick added a three-pointer.

The teams then battled through five lead changes and two ties before another Gulick three-pointer gave Baker a 33-30 halfbme edge.

But, as hot as Baker was in the second period, the Bulldogs were that cold in the third.

Baker didn't score until Clay LeaMaster's threepointer with 54 seconds left in the quarter.

North Marion led 45-36 at the break.

Baker managed to pull within three points with 51 seconds left in the game, but then had to foul and North Marion finished the game hitting four more free throws.

Hayes led Baker with 20 points.

LeaMaster added 12 and Gulick 11.

Josh Umbenhower led North Marion with 26 points.

As most coaches will say afteravictory,defense was the key.

Class4AStateWrestling

Sulldogsnlace24that Class41wrestlingmeet PORTLAND — Baker w restlers placed 24th in the team standings at the Class 4A state wrestling tournament Saturday.

"The kids gained a lot of valuable experience as most of our team is young," said Baker coach Brandon Young.'We will return eight qualifiers next season. Jace

Hays, James AhHee, Logan Valentine, Marco Vela, and Will Goodwin went 1-2.

AhHee and Vela both were state qualifiers last year, which helped their confidence going into the tournament. I think a lot of our guys were a little nervous going into the Coliseum to compete. But, now most of

our team has been there and will know what to expect next year."

Young said Valentine in his second match got a fire lit in the third round when tied3-3.Valentine scored 9 unanswered points to win 12-3. Goodwin got thrown in a head and arm and then fought off his back to catch

his opponent from Banks for the fall.

The rest of the Baker wrestlers went 0-2, "but will be better prepared for next season." Those were Dawson Dollarhide, Elijah Banister, Dylan Feldmeier, Peter Baker, Sam Harper. ''We arelosing seniors Peter Baker and Logan

Valentine, and gaining some tough eighth-graders, and hopefully get a few others that could help us out," Young said."I could see this team improving similarly next season and making it intothe top 10."

Young thanked the community, school and parents fortheirsupport this season.

On the way home, in tears, he told me that he didn't want to swim without a floatie, "because they are so much fun." This stemmed from a few days earlier when we had met some friends at the pool.

After he practiced swimming I let him loat around with everyone else.He had f such a good time that he didn't want to bother with actually learning to swim anymore.

Well, you see, the ones I have seen began back in 1941 and took in the years of 1942 and 1947 and ended at her death in 1953.

At that time, her faithfully kept diaries were handed out to members of her family, basically returning them to the ones who had given a new one to her each year.

Daffodils: The old reliables They just keep on giving.

About 15 years ago my mother-inlaw bought the house across the street from us, so I planted mini daffodils on the south side of the house, which happens to face us.

At the time I hadn't realized we were the ones who would enjoy them the most as we look out our windows or come and go. They usually show their splash of yellow the first part of March, but this year they popped out closer to Valentine's Day. Tom and Jeanine Trotter live across the street now, but we still enjoy the blooms, without having to do the weeding and watering anymore. Now that is

a good deal.

chicken pieces on skewers alternating the chicken, tomato, pepper and onion. Place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt tk pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Cook the chicken on low broil for 6-10 minutes, turn and cook an additional 4-8 minutes, or until done. Each broiler will vary.You can cook the chicken on the grill if you prefer.

I am sharing one of my new favorite meals. I love the combination of chicken and rice when served together with a homemade sauce that makes the meal complete.

Making your own sauce is simple. Although it takes a bit of effort, I think it is totally worth it. The key to making good sauce is allowing it to cook down before you addthe flour and butter paste. I combine the flour and butter together making a paste and then I add it to the pan.

Ihave been making many different variations ofthissauce and this is my latest. I love the sweetnessthat the pineapple

brings and I found this meal to be refreshing and delicious.

nioV orei ntrave — s ut ecare u Before traveling to a foreign country one is often given warning ofbeing aware of your immediate surroundings in order to not become avictim. Travel agents,guides,and well-meaning friends do this because they want you to have a safe journey and not be takenadvantage ofin any wa y.

The first time this happens we say"thank you" and feel that there are not going to be any problems because we aren't going into any dangerous areas, we are on a guided tour, or weare carefulpeople.Iam heretotellyou that no matter what your circumstances, chances are the pickpockets they are warning aboutare professionals and very skilled in their work. In our travels the more we were exposed to them the more we found it fascinating to watch them work a crowd — and they did indeed.

Many times the word Gypsies appeared in these warnings. Now this brings me to a clarification point. I have to say here that not all pickpockets and thieves are Gypsies and not all Gypsies are thieves or pickpockets. And notalltravelinggroups are truly Gypsies, and vice versa. Add to that not all Romany peopleare Gypsies and notallGypsiesare of Romany descent. Now that we are clear about that, I need to add that in Europe it is even more difficult to discern.

During our trips we experienced various exposures to Gypsy situations such as the ones about which we were warned, although we've never been victims. It seems there are locations in the world that just happen to be magnets for Gypsy operations. One is the Charles Bridge in Prague, which I have previously described as a pedestrian bridge being like a museum with a carnival oflife taking

OUT 5ABOUT GINNY MAMMEN place in the middle of it. It is so crowded that crossing without being bumped, jostled or simply carried along with the crowd is nearly impossible. Those professionals I mentioned know how to take advantage ofevery body contact to make it worthwhile.

In a Madrid plaza, we observed a quick colliding ofbodies, a snatch, and an even quicker getaway. This area wasn't even crowded.

Theseperpetratorshave deceptiveways of approaching a mark. One is to create a commotion. In an Italian train station we watcheda group ofGypsy women appearing to have a fight in the parking lot — lots of shouting and pushing. We avoided the area, but kept them in our sight as we watched the younger men and girls working a crowd thrown totally off guard while intently watching the fight. Someone once told me of an incident in which a woman actually tossed her baby into someone's unsuspecting arms tocreatea diversion.

Heroes' Square in Budapest, a large open area with massive statues and completely surrounded by many architecturally interesting buildings, is a pickpocket's dream spot. A tourist standing in the center has visual overloads in every direction. If that distraction is not enough, women approach the tourists to sell handmade items while the men work the unsuspecting crowd.

Other times while busing through the countryside we observed the Romany people in their everyday environment. In Serbia, we

passed an extended Gypsy family in the front yard of their large two-story crumbling stone house. They appeared sad and were lean and wiry with huge haunting brown eyes.

Although this made a perfect Kodak moment something unspoken kept everyone from responding.

Then in Romania on our way to Bucharest we passed through a small village on market day. Tables laden with watermelons, tomatoes and green vegetables lined the edge of the narrow road. Around them sat happy groupings enjoying the sunshine and each other while children chased chickens and played. Our bus barreling through that scene kept thoughts on everyone's safety rather than photos.

Both of these times we knew these were the Romany people with the women wearing the traditional head scarves and the long skirts ias did the women in the Italian train station).

We learned over 30 years ago that one need not travel to a foreign country to encounter gypsies/Gypsies, foron May 12,1982,Gypsies came to La Grande and caused one big commotion.

By Kim Ode You can tut-tut all you want about the toast trend.

(Yes, it's really a trend. Yes, there are restaurants that feature toast. Yes, the word "artisanal" comes up.)

But be honest: You know when you've encountered a reallygreat piece oftoast, and when you bite into a slice that's just ordinary.

W e're talking about toast that doesn't scour the roof of your mouth, nor collapse under the vague pressure of a jammy knife.

We're talking about a proportion of tiny crannies that, in the words of an 1805 book,"Receipts in Modern Cookery," enable the toast to "imbibe the butter with more freedom."

The right toast, of course, starts with the right bread.

Some loaves, while delicious, don't make notable toast. But a bread that makes great toast also should be delicious in its unsinged state.

Plus, adding mashed potato to breaddough boostsits nutritional profile. Potatoes providefi bercomparable to whole-wheat bread, along with zinc, iron and a healthy joltofpotassium, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

There's a lotto besaid for growing indoor plants.

There's the beauty of a fern with its delicate fronds, or an African violet with a cluster of vibrant flowers. Some, like jasmine,add fragrance to a room. Others, like ivy, can adorn a windowsill with trailing glossy foliage.

What's more, you don't have to be a gardening guru to get them to thrive indoors, says Ellen Zachos, author of"Growing Healthy Houseplants: Choose the Right Plant, Water Wisely, and Control Pests."

An instructor at the New York Botanical Garden, Zachos was first intrigued by houseplants when she was performing in"Fiddler on the Roof'in

issues. My two sisters and I are pretty sure Mom did not make TNC, at least not often, though she did make her shareofpossibly loveit-or-hate-it dishes including Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast and a concoction given to her by our Scottish ranch-house neighbors called "Mince and Tatties," which is an exotic way to say hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes.

I have no idea where I first tasted TNC, and it's not something I make or eat often, but what's not to like about the rich combination of noodles and cheesy sauce, with a crunchy topping, and "tuna fish," as I grew up calling it inever just"tuna").

Canned tuna has never bothered me, and I've only grown to appreciate its convenience and nutrition as I've gotten older iespecially after I was turned on to the highend Spanish stufF). Early in my days in Pittsburgh, when I was living up on Mount Washington, I had a tunafish epiphany at La Tavola Italiana restaurant, where I saw it served, with cold tomato sauce, atop hot pasta, a Sicilian summer trick. I was skeptical, but I loved it, and now, I make some variation of that — sometimes with fresh cherry tomatoes, or no tomatoes— atleastonce a week, using good-quality tuna packed in olive oil. Tuna and noodles sans casserole.

If the name "Tuna Noodle Casserole" is off-putting, you could call it"Tuna Stroganoff," one of the recipes I recently found in the spiral-bound"The Best from the Blade Cookbooks: 1950-1960," a compilation published by the PG's sister newspaper in Toledo, Ohio.

"Serveon toast,flufFyriceor buttered noodles and sprinkle with parsley and chives," directedtherecipe' scontributor, a Mrs. Fred Stauber, who includes V3 cup of sherry for good measure.

It's a simple recipe, evoking perhaps simpler times. Especially today when many of us can eat just about anything we can imagine whenever we want, I like the dish's thrift and humility, which makes it a veryappropriateno-meat one to make for Lent.

It'seven simpler to not make it and instead seek it out at one of the church fish fries that serve during Lent.

Think of houseindoors. How is this one plants as living things, different? not inanimate objects. I : It's a book for belike epiphytic ferns — not 'nners for sure — a dainty, fussy ferns. They small book with essential look like sculpture in the information. There are home. They all grow in outdoor gardeners who a north-or east-facing don't know how to take window, and they're not careofindoor plants,or heavy feeders. In winter, I'm watering just every they receive an unfamiliar plant as a gift. I chose two weeks.

OUT S ABOUT Continued ~om Page 1B The adults, who spoke the Romany language, were arraigned and jailed while their children were placed into protective custody. By this time law enforcement and the courts realized they were dealing with people of a culture thousands of years old who didn't recognize our laws and that we needed to become informed before making decisions that would be the best for all concerned.

Three professors from Eastern Oregon State College were contacted as consultants. One spoke Croatian and could communicate with this colorful bunch. A general summarization of the 1982 Observer interviews with the other two, who were scholars of the culture, tells what helped the authorities gain an understanding for the situation: the key to the Gypsy way oflife is the concept of marime ... roughly translated to mean pollution or defilement. This is the culture's main method of control since they are an international roving society without a country of their own and bound only by ties of family and kinship. They do not recognize our laws, the family is the main social unit, and they only recognize crimes against their own people. All those outside their culture igadjel areinferior andfairgame forrusesorotherexploitations — in a sense gadje are nonpersons.

Dale was district attorney at that time and for the three weeks until June 2 when they were released and sent on their way, our household was also one big commotion. We learned a lot — that our culture had broken some major laws of the Gypsy culture, that rarely do they do anything violent, that for centuries this type of activity has beenconsidered by the Gypsies a socially acceptable way for supporting themselves. In the end, both sides had to compromise in order to find a solution.

Everyone isn't the same! There are reasons why! Learn to understand! Be aware! Enjoy!

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to lash out at the emerging U.S.led nuclear deal with Iran in Congress this week will generate nearly as much anger among his opponents at home as at the White House.

The anger in Israel, however, may be mitigated by the fact that few of Netanyahu's domestic critics disagree about the nature of the accord taking shape with Iran.

"The criticism here against Netanyahu's speech to Congress, especially its timing in the middle of an election campaign, shouldn't obscuretherealdisagreement between Israel and the U.S. over Iran," said Zaki Shalom, seniorresearch fellow atTel Aviv's Institute for National Security Studies."There is genuine concern among Israelis that Iran is trying to obtain nuclear weapons, and the U.S. is negotiating an agreement that will ultimately allow them to do so."

Netanyahu may ask lawmakerstopressfor a delay in the deadline for an Iran agreement, an official traveling with him has said.

That move would be certain to further exacerbate tensions between the Israeli leader and President Barack Obama.

Obama and Netanyahu have already clashed on several tronts, including over Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank and the pace of peacemaking
