By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Northeastern Oregon's mountain snowpack hasn't made up for its sluggish start.

But it has turned a major deficit into a minor one.

After the fifth-driest autumn on record, and a similarly arid January, the region's snowpack was about 32 percent below aver-

age.

Sharon Cantrell thinks she knows where the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is.

And it isn't off the coast of Australia.

Instead, the La Grande woman said she believes the missing Boeing 777-200 crashed into the Andaman Sea off the northern coast of Sumatra. She said she reached her conclusion after spending days poring over satellite imagery on the NASA web site and while working with an online

group of amateur sleuths via Facebook.

Cantrell said her tale began when a friend on Facebook received an email alert from TomNod.com, an Internet-basedsearch site that uses crowdsourcingand satellite imagery — to find missing objects across

the globe.

"It was a thing put out by the TomNod group. It was interesting to me that they had images that you could view," Cantrell said.

From there, Cantrell said she linked up with four other women — in different

parts of the U.S. and Australia — on the Facebook group to search for the missing airliner. The group utilized all the information available from news reports and from online sources and began to methodically search.

Cantrell said before long she was communicating with another member of her Facebook search group. cWe starteddiscussing our theories and they lined up together," she said.

Cantrell said she spent hours scanning satellite photos of probable flight paths of the jetliner. Media

reports — including a March 12 story from United Press International about an eyewitness account from an oil derrick worker in the area — helped her narrow down the search parameters. She said she and her Facebook comrade began to concentrate on satellite imagery from the northern coast of Sumatra and the Andaman Sea. Slowly, she said,shebegan to detect w hat she believed to be signs of a plane crash in the sea.

The Baker City Council reviewed future public works projects and aw aterfeehike proposal during a work session Tuesday night at City Hall.

Along with the council, city staff members including Public Works Director Michelle Owen, City Manager Mike Kee and Finance Director Jeanie Dexter were on hand at the session.

Councilors Roger Coles and Dennis Dorrah were absent.

Offtcials discussed a proposed 6.6 percent increase in water rates.

The fee hike is estimated to increase the average

resident' sbillby about$2 per month.

The fee increase consistsof two parts.

Sam-OSwim Center

By Pat Caldwell pcaldyyell©bakercityherald.com

A key component to a filter used to prevent sand from flowing into the pool at the Sam-0-Swim Center failed earlier this week, prompting Baker City Councilor Roger Coles to ask for an explanation why yet another mechanism at the facility was not working.

Coles sent an e-mail to City Manager Mike Kee askingfora fullreporttothe City Council on the issue. .. I am requesting a full report from "you" at the next council meeting on the "Sand Filter" at the Sam-0 that started leaking sand into the pool again this weekend after "

.

is isicl was supposedly fixed ..." Coles wrote in his email to Kee. Public Works Director Michelle Owen confirmed that a tube inside one of the filters did fail. The failure of the tube inside the filter dribbled sand into the pool but Owen said city public works crews fixedthe problem Monday.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 2, 1964 Western music enthusiasts are due for a pleasant surprise when the ever-popular Grand Ol' Opry direct from Nashville, Tenn., stops overnight in Baker and puts on a show at the Community Center.... ... A cast of ten will feature top Columbia recording star Stonewall Jackson and other recording artists including Columbia's "Little" Jimmy Dickens who will be remembered for his"Out Behindthe Barn" and"Sleeping At the Foot of the Bed," among others.

Stonewall is 25, a former North Carolina logger and farmer who found sudden success in the music world.

However, Stonewall says, he's not parting with his logging truck, "just in case."

Stonewall's first record release "Life To Go" put him on top and his next release "Waterloo," soared to the top of the pop charts all over the country.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 3, 1989 Joanne Conrad, senior agent with New York Life insurance in Baker, was recently named1988"woman of the year" by the Idaho general office of NewYork Life.

Once a year the priests from the diocese gather with the bishop in Baker City at the Chrism Mass to prepare for the months ahead.

level head and wisdom were an asset to many individuals in the 12 different locations and four different states they lived in during this time; and their three sons benefited as well.

Youngest son, Randy appreciated how his mother would always give a wise answer with positive encouragement and a good direction to go without being pushy. Older son Jerry simply sums it up saying she was just a great mom!

Son Dan recalls his mother taking the boys to a river to play and seeing another young fellow swim across it.

Upon inquiring about this, Jean told him, "Don't fight the current, you can make it.

You'll end up downstream, but you can make it." Dan then swam the river and not onlyfelta greataccomplishment, but learned a life's lesson.

After their years with the Forest Service and additional ranching experiences, Jean and Tom were moved to become lay ministers for the Methodist Church, which they did for seven years at a church in Belgrade, Mont.

During this time they continued to enjoy the outdoors and horses with pack trips to the wilderness and family canoeing on the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. More recentfavorit e outdoor activities had been skiing at Bridger Bowl in Montana, especially on family gatherings each February.

Indoor talents included knitting, writing, cooking, making family history, church news and other volunteering in later years. Her husband, Tom, was the love ofher life. As Tom says,"it was a wonderful life."

She was a very special beloved lady, family members said.

Many family members and fiiends were privileged to say goodbye during Jean's brief illness. Her faith and strength were a great example and testament to the Lord for all who knew her.

"She was a blessing to everyone, and she herself was blessed to be active in life even skiing only a few days before her passing," they

said."She will be greatly missed."

Survivors include her husband, Tom Griffith; sons, Jerry, Dan, and Randy with their spouses and eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; three brothers, Mac, Tim and James Kerns; a sister, Ellen Stevenson; and many nieces and nephews.

re season Nature, as usual, thumbed its frost-nipped nose at calendars, including the Oregon Department of Transportation's.

On Tuesday, the first day studded tires were illegal on the state's highways, a snowstorm slickened highways in Central and Southeastern Oregon.

Baker County, fortunately, was spared this storm.

But as anyone knows who has lived here for more than a few years, it's hardly uncommon for heavy snow to fall in April (and, let's be honest, in May or, occasionally, in June).

The state has acknowledged as much in a few recent springs by extending the deadline beyond April 1 based on forecasts of widespread snow.

Tuesday's storm, although it was predicted by the National Weather Service, apparently didn't rate as severe enough to warrant an extension.

Which is precisely the problem.

ODOT oKcials need to concede that the April 1 deadline isn't working.

The agency should switch the studs-o6'date to either April 15 or, better still, April 30.

Most residents on the west side of the Cascades would probably continue to remove studded tires before March 31, and why not? The chances for westside snow beyond that date is remote.

We understand that state oKcials want to minimize the use of studded tires and thus reduce the damage they cause to highways.

But whatever amount of wear would accrue during two weeks or a month is not close to enough to justify forcing Oregonians to sacrifice driving safety.

WASHINGTON — Bob was a dirt poor kid from Pensacola, Fla., when he won a scholarship for football at a Division One school in Mississippi. He had grown up in the kind of poverty most of us can hardly imagine and the scholarship was a godsend — the only way he could imagine going to college.

There was only one hitch. He had absolutel y nomoney, beyond theroom and board provided by the university and he had no legal way of getting it. He couldn't buy a hamburger nor afford to go to a movie or to get his bad teeth fixed.

His family had nothing and the time he spent on the football field and keeping up hisgrades and therestrictionsimposed by the NCAA precluded him from working.

While others around him were enjoying atleastsome semblance ofcollege social life, the small amount of free time afforded him was spent in his dorm room. He increasingly believed he was in prison. He saw only one way out. He quit the team and dropped out of school.

He found a job and enrolled in a much cheaper community college program.

He was frugal, living in a tiny room and washing dishes at an all-night restaurantforhisfood.

It took Bob three years and working two jobsto complete a tw o-year course at the community college. But he saved enough money to enroll at a large university in his home state and complete his education in journalism with honors. He had a substantial career and ultimately m ade it hereasa correspondent for a major newspaper.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: The president of the United States has awesome powers, especially in military matters, as he must to keep the nation safe. But his authority is also limited by constitution and law, also to keep us safe.

The U.S. House voted last week to put reasonable limits on presidential power to designate national monuments under the 1906 Antiquities Act. Instead of allowing the president to act unilaterally, the revision would require environmental review and limit the number of designations to one per state in any four-year presidential term.

The Antiquities Act has been used to set aside 137 sites, including the Grand Canyon, the Oregon Caves and the Statue of Liberty. Most presidents have used it, starting with Theodore Roosevelt at a time when some of the protected land was in territories, not yet states. Barack Obama has designated 10 sites.

But like any unilateral power, it can be misused. According to The Hill news report, Republicans give the example of President Bill Clinton designating 2 million acres in Utah — the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument — without advance notice to the state, and then announcing it during an election-related tour.

Although the law might have been originally used to protectat-risk land, criticssay,ithasbecome atoolforgaining political support. Whatever the merits of any one specific site, setting asidevastpropertiesdeserves theinvolvement of more than one person, however powerful. State and local interests deserve significant consideration.

The bill would still allow designations for sites of 5,000 or feweracresto protectsensitive sites,with environmental review to follow within three years. It also requires an assessment of a monument's benefits, such as jobs or tourism, and it would block designation of private land without the landowner's agreement.

Unfortunately, this common-sense legislation is not expected to succeed in the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate.

Although the House vote was not strictly along party lines, the "yes" side was dominated by Republicans.

According to Oregon's U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River,"Land use decisions should be made in the sunshine with full input from affected citizens like farmers and ranchers.... This common-sense bill would ensure that future national monuments are created with public participation, not behind closed doors at the White House."

Well said.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (La Grande) Observer: In terms of political and governmentaldebacles,voterswillhave a hard time finding a case that outshines the recent Cover Oregon fiasco.

That is why the news last week that Oregonians will secure an extra month to sign up for the subsidized health plan was such a breath of fresh air.

Lately, just about anything remotely linked to the troubled health program has been contaminated by controversy.

Most readersprobably already know the basic factsregarding the Cover Oregon flaws. After the state dumped somewhere around $200 million into Cover Oregon, the program basically doesn't work. More than five months after the online health exchange was to

be operational, people still cannot sign up completely for health insurance.

Instead, voters must utilize a combination of the online system and a paper process.

Recently, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber fired one key official — Bruce Goldberg, the director ofthe Oregon Health Authority — after a second independent report on the failed system showed serious flaws. And the governor has been in the bull's-eye of public criticism regarding the failure of the system. To some extent, Kitzhaber doesshare some blame.As the leader of the state, and at the end of the day, the proverbial buck does stop athis desk.

Still, while it is always gratifying for many to point fingers and seek judgment, in the end this latest saga should

be moreabout what the state'selected and appointed officials are going to do to fix the broken system.

The deadline extension is a good first step on the long road to redemption in the Cover Oregon chronicle. The new deadline stipulates Oregonians will have until April 30 to sign up for subsidized health care insurance.

The extension was granted after the Obama administration declared it would need the extra time because of specific situations, including technology issues.

All of this,ofcourse,isbecause ofthe new federal law that requires Americans to have health care coverage.

The deadline extension is not only a good thing, it is the right route in the wake of the Cover Oregon disaster.

Portland124,lA.laKers112

Lillard, Aldridge lead Blazers to win LOS ANGELES iAPlThe Portland Trail Blazers are hoping they've put all the bad habits behind them with the playoffs on the horizon.

And with a healthy LaMarcus Aldridge providing his usual numbers, they are confidentthatthey can make some noise in the postseason — with or without homecourt advantage.

Damian Lillard scored 34 points, Aldridge had 31 points and 15 rebounds, and the Blazers beat the Los Angeles Lakers 124-112 Tuesday night. aWe had a rough stretch, but now we've kind of picked it back up and we're going in the right direction at the perfect time," Lillard said.

"Now that we're close to the postseason, we want to have that rhythm going into the

playoffs."

The Blazers' fourth straight win, coupled with Houston's loss at Brooklyn, moved Portland within 11/2 games of the Rockets for fourth place in the Western Conference and home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.

The Blazers have six games left on their schedule, five of them at home. One more win will give them their 12th 50-win season in the franchise's 44-year history.

But the last four times the team won 50 or more games, they didn't make it past the first round of the postseason.

ErnieKent hired as Washi ngton St.coach

Basic package:Lipid panel — $0

PULLMAN — Athletic director Bill Moos once hired Ernie Kent to turn Oregon around. He's now done the same at Washington State.

Kent was hired Monday as the Cougars' new men's basketball coach, giving him another shot at leading a Pac-12 Conference program four years after he was let go by Oregon. Kent's mission is significant: try to revitalize a program that has gone downhill in the past five seasons, both in terms of record on the court and interest in the stands. ''When WSU is having success, Beasley Coliseum is one of the best environments in the West," Kent said in a release from the school.'The students are so passionate, I saw 5,000 of them out there ready to go during warm-ups, one of the few places I've ever witnessed that. When you've seen that arena full and the program was at its best and now you have the opportunity to lead that program and you understand the potential that exists, that is very special to me."

Kent agreed to a five-year contract to leave behind his current job as an analyst for the Pac-12 Networks and re-enter the coaching ranks. He'll be introduced at a press conference on the Washington State campus on Wednesday. The hiring may not bring the headlines Washington State got when Moos hired Mike Leach as his football coach, but Kent understands the situation he's inheriting.

Kent replaces Ken Bone, who was fired on March 18 after five seasons during which the Cougars were unable to match the success they had under his predecessor, Tony Bennett.

Bone was 80-86 at Washington State and just 29-61 in the Pac12,never making theNCAA tournament.

Can you use household items to extract DNA7That is the question behind Isabella Evans' Science Fair experiment at Baker Middle SchoolTuesday. By combining rubbing alcohol, saltwater and Dawn dishwashing liquid, she says she would get DNA from strawberries and a banana. Evans methodically worked on the presentation for judges, who were to figure out the best projects done by all the students.

The other portion of the boost — about 1.6 percent — is tied to the consumer price index.

No decisions regarding fees,costsorotherplans were made during the meeting. The meeting was an informational session to updateelected leaders.

Most, if not all, of the proposalsdiscussed in the session — including the proposed water rate increase— willgobefore the City Council for a decision during a regular meeting this spring.

Owen updated council members on the current and future public works blueprint for the city, which includes work on a variety projects forthe second half of the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.

The public works department will confront 11 projects in the current cycle — from an environmental

assessment of the mountain line replacement venture to the replacement of fire hydrants — with an estimated

about $2.8 million.

SAM-0 Continued from Page1A City Manager Mike Kee said when something like the filter tube failure occurs, the processtofi x itisfairly straightforward.

"So the pool shuts down and they vacuumed the sand.

Then we go in, city crews go in, and shovel out all the sand through a small hole and repairthetube,"Kee said.

Kee While t he problem was repaired, Kee said a long-term fix will be necessary to eliminate the filter challenge. One problem, he said, is that the two filters used to keep the sand out of the pool are old.

"A month or so ago one of the tubes iinside the filter) broke. It is just normal wear and tear. We expect they will continue to fail," Kee said.

Kee said there are severaloptions to solve the filter failure issue. One would be to replace the tubes in each filter.

'These tubes are only like, less than $10 apiece. It is not a huge cost. It is just a matter to take the time to shut down and do it," he said.

Another plan is to wait until September — when the pool is already scheduled to be shut down for a few weeks — and replace the system. Kee said the drawback to that option is the fact that until September the city would be compelled to make ad hoc repairs.

Also, in terms of available funds, Kee said it would be better to get into the next fiscal

year budget — the new fiscal year starts July 1 — before the city tackles a repair project. sWe arealready over budgetforlabor at the pool because of the things we did this year," Kee said.

Another possibility, Kee said, would be to make extensiverepairsoversuccessive weekends. sWe could go in and pay overtime and startworking as soon asthepoolclosesSaturday. I could pay some city staff to work all day Sunday and try to get one of the filters emptied and all new tubes put in. And then do it again with the other sand filter next weekend. That would be real expensive," Kee said.

Kee said he favorsjustrepairing both ilters atonce assoon aspossible. f "It seems like to me like what we ought to do, rather than just continuing to have these things break, let's just repair them all at once.

We 'llhaveto closethepoolfor tw o or three days to empty out all the sand," Kee said.

Owen agreed a quick solution to the problem is the right course of action.

"I think we'd like to see all of these repairs done prior to the summer swim season," she said.

Owen said her department will propose that all of the tubes in both filters be replacedas soon aspossible and thatshewill work with Baker County YMCA director Heidi Dalton regarding the matter.

A pickup truck driven byTeresa Coombs,46, of Boise, rolled onto the driver's side just after noon Tuesday in the Albertsons parking lot in Baker City. Police said it appears Coombs suffered from a medical issue. She was taken by ambulance to St. Alponsus Medical Center-Baker City, where she was treated and released later in the afternoon.

HAPPENINGS 3oseph's Stein Distillery wins double gold for whiskey blend A local business won recognition this spring, raising its profile internationally.

Stein Distillery of Joseph distinguished itself with its Big Buck Blend, winning double gold for its two year-old whiskey at the World Whiskey awards. The competition is sponsored by Whiskey Magazine, said General Manager Dan Stein. The magazine is out of Norwich, England.

Big Buck, said Stein, is a made from W allowa County rye and barley and blended with Hermiston corn. Already well known for their rye and bourbon, Stein said the blend is "smoother than both."

The distillery has only been open for three years, but already gained attention nationally last year with its rye whiskey and raspberry and huckleberry cordials winning bronze medals at the Washington Cup held in Washington, D.C. Heather and Austin Stein, the owners of the distillery, raised the bar this year and released their newest concoction on the international stage.

Big Buck Blend can be purchased at Stein Distillery's tasting room in downtown Joseph or at most Oregon state liquor stores. Steins is also available in Washington, California, Montana and Georgia.

From theearly days ofvodka and cordial production, Stein has expanded to offering both light and dark rum and makes an all-wheat whiskey under the Hamley's label for the famous Pendleton restaurant.

SEATTLE — Efforts to establish a quinoa production center in the Pacific Northwest is thesubjectofa lecture to be presented by crop breeding expertKevin Murphy. The Washington State University Innovators lecture and lunch is slated April 24 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seattle.

Quinoa has captivated the world with its powerful package of proteins and phytonutrients and its gluten-free status. WSU's efforts in quinoa production and organic crops are geared toward spurring local agricultural economies.

"Washington is fortunate to have a climate conducivetothe production of the highest quality quinoa, but the industry is still in

its infancy," says Murphy, assistant professor in WSU crop and soil sciences who is focusing on quinoa and alternativecrops fororganic farmers.

WSU is leading research intothe seed'smo xieasa healthy food source, an ally in fi ghting world hunger and a potentially profitable crop for growers in the Pacific Northwest.

Funded by grants, Murphy and his team are testing more than 1,000 quinoa varieties under anumber offarming systems and bioregions.

Collaborating with local growers who plant quinoa test plots, he has demonstrated that the climate and soils of the state are well suited to quinoa cultivation.

"A CSA is a great way for farmers and eaterstosupporteach other, "said Gibans. eWe love sharing the bounty with our customers, and they are thrilled with the variety and freshness of what's in season."

The CSA is ideal for people who like to cook and enjoy being creative with a variety ofseasonal produce.It'salso a better value than buying produce each week at the market.

People who sign up for weekly deliveriesalso gettheadded benefitofreceiving their produce without having to go

shopping.

"Opening the box each week is a real pleasure which usually includes snacking on something right out of the box, immediately incorporating other veggies into that night's dinner, and putting away the rest for use over the following week," said member Adele Buttolph."The program feels like a bountiful produce oasis."

The cost of membership averages out to about$22 per week for the full share, $15 per week for the half share.

Vegetables include salad mix, spinach, broccoli ,beets,carrots,onions,potatoes, tomatoes,basil,peppers,zucchiniand winter squash. The variety and quantity oftheproduce increases astheseason progresses.

This spring the water isn't the only thing that is hot in Medical Springs— dozens ofvarieties of chilies grown on Val's Veggies farm giveoffplenty ofheat,too.

Valerie and Rod Tachenko's 13-acrevegetable farm south of Medical Springs in Baker County produces 58 varieties of chilies and peppers, not to mention 146 varieties ofheirloom tomatoes, 72 types of squash, greens, cabbage, broccoli, beets, beans, cucumbers, herbs, garlic and okra, just to name a few.

The Tachenkos focus on selling theirfood locally atfarmers markets, their farmstand in Baker and through their Community Supported Agriculture program, which is a new concept to many in Eastern Oregon.

In recent years, CSA programs have taken off in many cities in Oregon. The concept is that peoplebecome "members" ofthe farm and receive weekly boxes of fresh local food. CSA members pay fora season'sw orth offood up front, which guarantees them a good price, the first pick from the farm, reliability and convenience. CSAs benefit growers by providing reliable business and operating money in the spring.

CSA shares come in three sizes to serve various family sizes and single people. Tachenko said that CSA boxes are also good for people who can't garden any more but love homegrown food or to supplement smaller home gardens.

As interest in CSAs grows, Val's Veggies has offered new optionsand incentives toeaters.

BRAIN FOOD ICEN ICELLER

Why you need 'A' players in your company t

n my opinion, companies that underperform almost always lack enough"A" players to become a breakthrough organization.

Through the years I have witnessed businessesleapforward with proper leadership and top employees on the payroll.

Ihave alsoobserved companies failbecause they did not recognize the need to hire top employees and place them in key positions.

If those failing companies did hire great employees, they did not put them into the right roles or not enough were hired to make a difference.

It can be argued that some business models don't require the best employees because the systems and procedures are set up to allow the company to hire marginal candidates and literally plop them into a job with a short orientation and some basic training.

But most companies are not like that; most organizations need a high quality"go-getter" to thrive. Unfortunately, that person is usually the founder or owner of the company.

Owners are not always inclined to hire top talent. It can be expensive. The process can be demanding, long and disappointing. New employees might not fit with the company culture.

Bringing in top talent may require some internal changes that might generate resistance. The owner might see a new hire as a threat instead of an opportunity.

What is an"A" player? This employee elevates all those around them through setting an example. These individuals encourage, motivate and drive those around them to a higherstandard ofexcellence and performance. When they take responsibility for a department, a result or a function, they own itinevery aspect.

Do these individuals have strong egos?

Perhaps, but more importantly, they have a strongdesireto succeed and achieve forthe company. They set personal achievement behind that helping their company winning.

As a then lifelong San Francisco Giants fan, I watched a Hall of Fame player, arguably the best all time player at his position, leave the team after just two years because the owner would not agree to his compensation demands.

Through this process I came to realize that the Giants at that time were a mediocre organization; and they remained so for many years following the departure of Joe Morgan.

Morgan played second base. At the end ofhis contract, he did not ask for a salary increase for the following years. What he did ask for, and his offer was turned down, was thathe receive additional income based on the team achieving its goals, and he achieving goals in the next season.

To be a lifelong Giants fan, I was also a long-suffering Giants fan. I was frustrated and shocked when the owner rejected a reasonable offer made by an"A" player. It was not that Morgan was a great player, though he was. What was obvious was that he elevated the playing ofhis teammates, and had experience with championship teams.

Morgan was all about winning baseball games. He was also all about energizing his teammates to play hard, minimize mistakes and get on base and score runs.

Companies that are serious about improving to get stronger financial and market performancehave certain characteristics about them.

You'll find "A" players in key roles: encouraging, challenging, doing more than is expected for the company and their fellow employees.

CORVALLIS — Oregon State University scientists have createdafashion accessory that doublesas apollution detector.

Similar in style to the popular wristbands supporting various charitable causes, OSU's new siliconebraceletshave a porous surface that mimics a cell, absorbingchemicals thatpeople are exposed to through their environment.

'The wristbands show us the broad range of chemicals we encounter but often don't know aboutand may be harming us," said Kim Anderson, a professor in OSU's College of Agricultural Sciences."Eventually, these bracelets may help us link possible health effects to chemicals in our environment."

In an OSU experiment, 30 volunteerswore the braceletsfora month. The bracelets soaked up nearly 50 chemical compounds, including traces of &agrances and other personal care products. They also detected flameretardants, pesticides, caffeine, nicotine, and chemicals &om pet flea medicines.

Roofers also wore the wristbands, showing exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 12 of which are on the Environmental Protection Agency's priority list. The bracelets, however, cannot detect some metals, like lead and chromium, or gases like carbon monoxide.

In an OSU experiment, rubber wristbands absorbed almost 50 chemical compounds, including pesticides, caffeine and pollution.

OSU where they are soaked and shaken in a mix of solvents, which pull chemical compounds into a liquid that can be tested in a lab. Researchers can screen for 1,200 chemicals that may accumulate in the wristbands.

To create the wristbands, OSU scientists modified widely available silicone bracelets — similar to the yellow "Liveslrong" bands — by washing them in chemical solvents. The university can make 400 wristbands a week.

The bracelets are not yet available to the public. Anderson's lab is recruiting participants for upcoming studies with the bracelets. Citizen scientists — or nonprofessional scientists — can also propose projectsto Anderson's lab at citizen.science. oregonstate.edu. The bracelets and testing come with a customized fee. Eventually, OSU researchers may license the

bracelets to acompany orstart their own.

OSU's research was published in the article "Silicone Wristbands as Personal Passive Samplers" in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

The full study, which is available at bit.ly/OSU WristbandStudy, was funded by the National Institute of Environmental Sciences, the OSU Food Safety and Environmental Stewardship Program, and the National Institutes of Health.

OSU is also using the bracelets in an ongoing study in New York City to measure the chemical exposure of pregnant women in their last trimester and how that affects their children after birth. The volunteers are wearing thebraceletsaswellasa traditional air sampling unit, which consists of a 5-pound backpack with a fan and battery.

It's also unclear if Wal-Mart is done with Oregon City.

The company has located its grocery stores in existing retail space in Lake Oswego, West Linn and Oak Grove.

Would Wal-Mart would consider such a project in Oregon City if suitable space was available?

— LANDLOCKED IN VIRGINIA

DEARABBY:I have been with my current boyfriend for ayear and a halfand I love him dearly. However, I often ftnd myself drawn tootherguyswho Iknow arenothing but trouble. It never goes further than simple flirting butI still feel guilty for doing it when I'min a relationship. How do I keep myself from temptation?

DEAR LANDLOCKED: It would be interesting to know how your husband developed this phobia. But because he refuses to do anything about it and you feel restricted, consider traveling with another companion.

By Ken Armstrong, Justin Mayo and Mike Baker The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — State regulators have been using outdated boundaries to restrict logging above the Snohomish County slopethat collapsed March 22, failing to incorporate newer research that would have protecteda swath ofland that wound up being clear-cut, accordingto a SeattleTimes analysis of documents and geographical data.

Becausefreesintercept and absorb water, removing them can contribute to the risk or size of a landslide by increasingthe soil'ssaturation, according to geological reports. The impact can linger for years.

In 1997, a reportcommissioned by the state Department of Ecology used"newly developedcomputational tools" to map the plateau atop the unstable hill outside Oso. That report was prepared by geologist Daniel J. Miller and hydrologist Joan Sias; Miller's portiondrew boundariesfor where groundwater could feed into the slope and increasethe risksoflandslide.

When the Department of Natural Resources iDNRl issued logging restrictions later that same year, the agency cited the Miller-Sias reportand treated itas state of the art, saying any future study should emulate its methods. But instead of adopting Miller's map, DNR used boundaries that had been drawn up in 1988. r We did the work. It was citedin the prescriptions as what you should do. And it

appears from your comparison of the maps that it didn't get done," Miller told The Seattle Times on Sunday."I suspect it just got lost in the shufffe somewhere."

Had Miller's map been usedforthe plateau,called the Whitman Bench, an additional 12 acresto the west would have been placed underprotection,according to a Seattle Times analysis.

In 2004, DNR approved the dear-cut ting of7-1/2 acreson the plateau — about 5 of which would have been protected under Miller's boundaries.

Grandy Lake Forest, the owner of that property, finished harvesting the acreage by August 2005. The 7 V2 acres took the shape of a pizza slice — with its tip just touching the part of the slope that fell away this month, releasing millions of cubic

yards of sand, silt and clay.

The Seattle Times previously reportedthe actualharvest appeared to extend past the permitted area, with about an acre cut in restricted land.

The hill that collapsed had a long history of slides, including ones in 1949, 1951, 1967 and 1988. Geologists studying the slope have cited multiple factors that could have contributed to the slides, from excessive precipitation to erosion of the hill's base by the Stillaguamish River to logging.

DNR issued its logging restric tions in 1997 aspart of what's called aw atershed analysis. Even then, the geologist who authored the section on the potential link between logging and landslidesexpressed doubts about using the boundaries from 1988.
