Day's prevention, education and events coordinator. sWe can meet with them in another location," Bogart said."Or, over the phone. They don't have to walk in the door on Main Street to get services." And victims should rest assured that anything they tell MayDay advocates is kept confidential and will only be shared with other agencies if the victims sign a releaseproviding that authorization.

sWe are a nonreporting agency," Joseph says, which means MayDay is not bound by Bog a rt the mandatory reporting law that requires other agencies to reportsuspected crimes. That is a detail that is not well-known Joseph says.

As of Thursday, 138 Baker County voters have changed their registration to Republican this year, a shik that allows them to vote in the two all-Republican county commissioner races in the May 20 prrmary. The majority of the registered voters who have switched their a51iation to the GOP since Jan. 1 were previouslyregistered asDemocrats. According to records fiom County Clerk Tami Green's offi ce,91ofthe 138registered voters who changed their a51iation to Republican this year had been registered as Democrats. Another 28 were previously not a51iated with any party, and 14 had been registered as Independents. The pace oftheregistration changes has increased substantially during April. See VoterslPage7A

City might hire new

police, firefighters By Pat Caldwell pcaldyyell©bakercityherald.com

A series of measures designedto create a m ore frugal city government could pay dividends in the near future by furnishing the city with financial flexibility to hire a firefighter and fill two vacant slots at the police department. Interest in public safety produced comments from several Baker City Councilors last week during their goal-planning session at City Hall. Both city public safety agencies face a growing array of needs while at the same time stable funding continues to shrink. Several councilors expressedan interestin addressing — and perhaps solving — what is viewed by some as a lingering disparity inside the fire department in terms of personnel. The Baker City Fire Department — which also furnishes the ambulance service for the county — is short one firefighter/paramedic.

A small group representing the Huntington City Council presented a written request to the Baker County Budget Board Monday asking that the board consider the position as part of its deliberation of the county's $2.7 million 198990 budget. "The City of Huntington is willing to contract with the Baker County Sheriff's Department for 33 percent of the cost of the officers," said Lee Stevenson, a spokesman for the group. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 19, 2004 Federal officials have decided that they're not ready to decide whether the sage grouse, a desert-dwelling bird that lives in Baker county and in parts of 10 other Western states, should be protected under the Endangered Species Act. They plan to study the sage grouse for about nine more months, then make a final decision. Ranchers fear that if the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service deems the bird threatened or endangered, the agency might curtail or even ban cattle grazing on millions of acres of public land.

Nine students entered the contest, which offers a chance to win up to $5,000 for school and community projects. ... In this spring's contest, students were challenged to use at least100 lunch milk cartons to create a landmark. The Eagle Cap students created a replica of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the WorldTrade Center in New York City and even included the memorial grounds that stand there today in honor of those who died in the attack, Richardson said.

BeeHiveassistedliving facilitvonens Local art on OPB By Pat Caldwell pcaldyyell©bakercityherald.com

By Lisa Britton

The four Baker County residents behind the effort to open a new assisted living centerreached theirdecision in different ways but each held acommon goal: provide better care for seniors. Robert and Krischele Whitnah and Jeremy and Traci Thamert said their motivation to build the new BeeHive assisted living center in Baker City stemmed from a simple premise. 'The goal is to make people comfortable. We want to keep them (residentsl as active and needed, loved and feel like they are still useful,"Traci Thamert sRld. The new BeeHive assisted living facility, on the corner of Walnut and F streets, was very much a collective effort between the Whitnahs and Thamerts. The four local investors exuded a consensus view regardingcareforthe elderly. ''We arenotacorporation thatmakes decisionsbased on the bottom line but on the needs of the residents. Everyone here will get the care they need," Jeremy Thamert said. BeeHive Homes — a franchise spread across the West — began in Meridian, Idaho, in 1987. The BeeHive Homes model is simple, yet in many ways cutting-edge in terms of philosophy. The homes are typically small-

BeeHive's new assisted living center is on the corner of F and Walnut streets. the Baker City facility boasts 15 specialized rooms complete with a private shower and >/4 bath — that allows a higher ratio of caregivers to residents. The Baker City center also featuresalarge,open,modern kitchen. Food — or more specifically meals residents actually like — is a crucial piece of the overall purpose of the facility, Krischele Whitnah said. "Food is home. So we will ask the residents or the resident's family to give us two or three meals to put into the menu," she said. The Whitnahs and Thamerts said once the idea to build a facility came up, the project gained steam. "Itjust kind of came together. Doors opened up at the right time," Jeremy Thamert said."I had this idea with Bob, Traci and Krischele. It took off

for us." All four said theyrecognized early on in the process that there was a demand for a facility like the BeeHive home locally. Still the BeeHive home project did notspring outof the thin air, ready-made, Traci Thamert sRld. "It took us 2'/2 years to get to this point," she said. As the venture evolved, Bob Whitnah said, the group saw the ultimate goal begin to crystallize. "All four of us have bought into trying to change the standardpeopleexpectoutofa care facility," he said. Jeremy Thamert agreed. ''We are four committed peoplewho aretrying to m ake a difference," he said. All four partners said that their commitment centers on furnishing an active, clean and

interactive place for seniors who need specialized care. The BeeHive home, they said, is not a facility oflastresort but just another milepostin life to enjoy. Part of the success, Bob Whitnah said, will be the individuals who work at the facility. The Baker City BeeHive Home will employ eight or nine people. 'The key to making this workis to notjust have good employees, but the best Baker County has to offer," he said. This week, Krischele Whitnah said, the first resident was set to move in. "Some of our rooms are Medicaid eligible, some are private pay," Krischele Whitnah

e r e ame r oano er erm The Baker County voters who will decide between incumbent Fred Warner Jr. and challenger Bill Harvey for the position of Baker County Commission chairman have a tough choice. Harvey is a strong candidate. We're impressed by his passion for Baker County and by the amount of time he has devoted to his campaign. Harvey has traveled throughout the county over the past couple months. He has attended a bunch of public meetings. He has talked to many dozens of residents. And Harvey brings more to the ballot than enthusiasm. He's been a successful homebuilder in Baker County for decades. He served on the Baker County Planning Commission for many years. He can do this job well. But Warner has been doing the job well for 11 years. We think voters should elect him to his fourth four-year term. Although the May 20 election is the primary, not general election, because no Democrats have filed it's likely that the winner of the Harvey-Warner race will run in the general election either unopposed or against a write-in candidate. That means the primary probably will be the decisive election. Both candidates emphasize the importance of natural resources industriesranching, logging and mining — in Baker County. But they have vastly diferent beliefs about the level of inHuence the County Commission has over the management of the federal lands that make up about half of Baker County's 2 million acres, and contain a majority of those natural resources. Harvey contends that the county has the legal authority to in eA'ect override decisions by the Forest Service and BLM through a process known as "coordination." ''We need to take that authority," Harvey said Monday in an interview with the H erald's editorialboard,w hich consists of publisher Kari Borgen, reporter Chris Collinsand editor Jayson Jacoby. We wish the county had that authority, but we don't believe that's the case. We've seen no compelling evidence that any county has been able to exert anything

Who was really responsible for rescinding travel plan?

like veto power over federal agencies when it comes to managing public land that belongs to allAmericans. Warner, by contrast, told us he considers coordination a valuable tool for the county in dealing with onerous edicts from Washington, D.C. But coordination, Warner said, "is not a silver bullet." He cited a couple of recent examples in which he advocated on the county's behalf on federal issues and helped win noteworthy successesforresidents. In March 2012, Warner, backed by hundreds of angry citizens who, Warner emphasizes, deserves much of the credit, opposed the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest's plan to ban motor vehicles from more than

3,500milesofroads. The Wallowa-Whitman withdrew the proposal. Warner also talked about his eforts to defend the Forest Service in a legal challenge to the Snow Basin logging project in eastern Baker County. The Forest Service prevailed, and the project could generate the largest volume of timber of any project on the Wallowa-Whitman in the past quarter century. As Warner admitted during an interview with the editorial board, he doesn't exactly relish campaigning and the self-aggrandizement that goes along with it. Indeed, his reputation as a commissioner probably has sufered because he doesn't often tout accomplishments which, though important, aren't as compelling as, say, thwarting road closures. Perhaps his greatest achievement is running a county that, compared with many of Oregon's other 35 counties, is in an enviable financial position. Baker County isn't Hush with cash, to be sure. But during Warner's tenure the county has consistently provided the essential services residents expect and deserve, such as law enforcement and road maintenance. In addition, Warner, during more than a decade in oKce, has cultivated relationships with state and federal lawmakers and other oKcials that can, in a pinch, give Baker County an advantage over other counties. We can't recommend voters give up those advantages, no matter how impressed we are withHarvey as a candidate.

It is hard to find someone in Baker County not familiar with the WallowaWhitman's attempt to introduce a Travel Management Plan on our forest. The Forest Service was iisl to implement a system of roads and trails, provide us with maps, and close our treasured"open forest." In response, our county decided to go out and inventory the roads and submit a plan. A committee was formed iwhich included a seat at the table for Hells Canyon Preservation Council) and many took on the road inventory chore. Roads werelost;"open forest"was given away. The nod was given to designatespecifi careasfor cutting firewood. Dispersed camping would becomeregulatedcamping. As Irecall, road inventory was not finished in some areas. The county would finish scratching our roads,ofFthe m ap,ata later time. It's up for speculation how many people on the road committee signed the final document. In my opinion the county did a terriblejob ofrepresenting the constituency. An attempt to hold onto a couple of RS 2477 roads were in the plan. Mining community will inform you, that RS 2477routes areguaranteed tothe

public. The travel management victory is being claimed by incumbents at both the localand federallevels.An enormous effort by citizens led the rally to stopthe Record ofDecision,fortravel management. Those wishing to retain accesswere labeled as a "small group of radicals" and "unreasonable." This myth reigned until we filled a conference room in La Grande, with an overflowing crowd of the silent majority. Now everyone is jumping on the victory train. Trust me, that claim will not pass the "snifF test." Bill Harvey will stand up. Time the local people had a voice. Show your support and vote for Bill Harvey. Tork Ballard Baker City

Warner's leadership too valuable to let go It's an honor to endorse the outstanding work Fred Warner has done for our county as commissioner over the past 12 years. Iurge every voterto keep this dedicatedpublicservant in offi ceforthe good of Baker County. As Commission Chair Fred has provided strong leadership holding up the people's interests against heavy-handed government rulemaking that impacts our way oflife. He is candid and courageous speaking for common sense and cooperation. Because Fred is knowledgeable and fair-minded in his arguments, he has gained the respect ofhis peers in all his working relationships Years ago at a meeting in Huntington I saw him being verbally attacked by angry citizens over a Hells Canyon county road issue. He listened, he an-

swered questions, he kept his cool and the issue was resolved. This scene has played over and over in many different venues in the years of Fred's calm and steady leadership. Fred manages the county's day-to day-business with an open door and sincere attention. Fred goes to bat for us in Washington, D.C., too. He is known and welcomed in the corridors of power, successfully halting or mitigating decisions that threaten our economy and environment. Fred is also connected into thelarger Oregon political structure where he can and doesefFectively present the needs of Eastern Oregon and afFect outcomes. Fred is a rare political leader. He is well-informed, unbiased and open-minded in working through every issue that comes before him. Fred not only speaks with conviction, but also acts decisively. He took Anthony Lakes Ski Resort under the county wing after careful research and in timely manner to save it asoneofourgreatassets. Fred hasbeen a cost-effective administrator of your county services and steward of taxpayer money. Fred daily defendsagainstregulatory actions that threaten to damage our quality oflife, whether that community is a small town, an individual business like Ash Grove, oroneofourcriticalresource based industries. Such leadership is a true gift to Baker County. Don't let it go. Vote for Fred Warner Jr. Aletha Bonebrake Baker City

Warner leads with common sense, is willing to listen Ibeli eve Fred Warner Jr.isa good administrator of our county. We have approximately 130 employees in 17 departments and a $28 million budget. Under his leadership there has been openness and common sense. He works on many issues at the local, state and national level. Some decisions he has made, I did not agree with but when asked for an explanation, his decision was logical. Usually I did not have all the needed information Ibeli eve Fred isvery approachable and will listen. Sometimes change is good, but not this time. Vote to retain Fred Warner Jr. as Baker County Chairman. Robert McKim Baker City

'rst an s a e t a t e t i mme iate amiiar The first time I shook Sid Johnson's hand I felt an instant sense of familiarity. His hand was my grandpa's hand. It was rough with sandpapery callouses, the fingers thick and gnarled like oak limbs, but it was also protective, in the manner of a wool blanket that is itchy but will keep you warm on a January night. It was the hand of a working man. A hand made to grasp a hammer, to planea board,tobuild structures that would endure for decades. It turned out that Sid and my grandpa had quite a lot more in common than well-weathered hands. Indeed I've not met another man who reminded me so much of my grandpa, Edd Jacoby, who died in 2002. Like Sid, my grandpa built houses for a living. He built his own home in Stayton, and he built the home, a mile or so away, where I grew up.

JAYSON JACOBY I recognized my grandpa in Sid's seemingly grufFpersonality, and I heard him in Sid's rock crusher of a voice. But I also understood, almost immediately, that Sid's brusque exterior, like my grandpa's, was only a veneer, and that beneath it both men were capable of cooing at an infant grandchild with all the delicacy of a new mother. Over the years — I don't remember precisely when I made Sid's acquaintance but it must have been in the mid 1990s — I came to see other parallels between him and my grandpa. Both men,though they worked at a blue collar trade, also had a perceptible intellectual streak. Grandpa was a voracious reader and when I think of him the scene, more often than not, is the sofa in his dining room where he liked to

recline and leaf through his latest volume. Sid, too, had a restless mind whose interests were many and varied and whose lifelong pursuit of knowledge seems to me a model worth emulating. I'd like to think that even in my waning days I'll still retain at least a vestige of a child's curiosity, will continue to be invigorated by the discovery of some new fact and to be

delighted by a good tale, well told. When I read the obituary that Sid's family compiled it seemed to me that they could have been describing my grandpa. Sid, his family said, was "a prolific writer with artistic talent, he filled journals with stories ofhis life." I don't know that I could fairly call my grandpa's writings prolific but in the last few years before dementia robbed him of all but a few persistent memories, he filled a couple of notebooks, in longhand, with stories from his youth in North Dakota. He also had a local printer

publisha briefbook — more ofa pamphlet, really — that included many ofthose anecdotes. But it was the description of Sid's "artistic talent," that caught my eye. My grandpa had considerable natural ability as a sketcher. I remember sitting in his den and watching him take up a charcoal pencil and effortlessly, or so it seemed to me, conjure in a few minutes a horse so realistic I could sense the rippling of its muscles and feel the wind whipping its mane. Sometime in the 1970s he took up oil painting, and a few ofhis canvases hang from the walls of my home. The greater partofSid'slegacy, by contrast, won't fit in a living room. Besides all the sap and shed needles. But the forest that he created on his Alder Creek property has a beauty that not even the most skilled hand can replicate with a paintbrush and a palette smeared with colors.

Nor can any painting produce that unique vanilla-cinnamon aroma of ponderosa bark warmed by a July sun. I can't claim that I knew Sid well. But I am grateful to have known him at all, to have been his guest at Alder Creek, to have sat next to him in a helicopter as pilot Phil Stevenson guided his aircraft over the sage hills so that Sid could find new patches ofhis great nemesis, the noxious weed leafy spurge. That Sid reminded me so much of my grandpa, who I didn't often see during his last decade, seems to me a happy coincidence. The richness of our lives, I believe, has much to do with those we meet along the way, and in this I have been fortunate. Some Ihave shared a name with. Others, like Sid, I have shared hours of conversation. And a handshake, a trivial event that will, I suspect, stay with me always. Jayson Jaeoby iseditor of the Baker City Herald.

Walllen'scamnaignhas 1.8million, GOP challenger linthicum 8,402 ByAndrew Clevenger VVesCom News Service

WASHINGTON — Withjust over a month left before the Mayprimary,incumbentRep.GregWalden hasan enormous money advantage over his 2nd Congressional District primary challenger, Klamath County Commissioner Denv "" nis Linthicum. During the flrst quarler of 2014, Walden, R-Hood River, W alden

raised $493,000,leaving him with $1.8 million cash on hand, according to his most recent campaign flnance report, flled this week with the Federal Election Commission. Linthicum Over the same period, Linthicum raised $13,053, leavinghim with $8,402 cash on hand.As of March 31,hiscampaign owed $8,375,m uch ofit to Linthicum himself to cover outlays for expenses.

Walden, an eight-term incumbentwho chairs the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, raised almost $232,000kom individual contributions, and more than $261,000kom political committees, some of which were Political Action Committees, or PACs. Thmugh his spokesmanAndrew Malcolm, Walden said successtul fundraisingis animportantindicator of a healthy campaign, but not the onlyelement. 'Tm verythankfulandenthused by the supportof so many people kom all across our districtwho notonly an. donating to m ycampaign atrecord levels,butalsoare signing up to help at the grassroots level," Walden said."All this gives me gtieat encouragement to keep working for commonsense solutions to growjobs in our communities, reduce wasteful federal spending and help get Oregon andAmerica on a better track" As chairman of the National Republican Congtessional Committee, Waldenis tasked with protecting, and increasingif

possible, the Republican majorityin the House of Representatives. He has said the GOP has some ground to make up to Democrats whenit comes to online outreach, and his campaign looks to do just that. "I take everyrace seriously, and greatly appreciat e thosesupporterswh oarestepping up at an unprecedented pace to help," he said. Linthicum, serving his flrst four-year tenn as a county commissioner, acknowledged he has been outpaced byWalden whenit comes to fundraising. "But I believe, as the Founding Fathers did, that the course of the countryis decided in the marketplace ofideas, not the size of someone's purse,"he said."Every day, I am ofleml volunteer time kom folks in District 2 who can't afford to help flnancially. Every time a fanner, smallbusiness man, mom or dad sacriflces to give mycampaign a little cash at an event, I am overcome with gratitude and I can't wait to serve these hattI-workingpeoplein Congress."

MAYDAY Continued ~om Page1A And it can alsobe abarrierthatprevents victims of domestic assault, sexual violence or elder abuse from calling MayDay for help. But that needn't be the case, Joseph maintains. MayDay's status as a nonreporting agencyallows "victims to have asafe place to talk"without fear oflosing custody of theirchildren orotherrepercussions that might worry them, Joseph said. During a survey of community partners and members of the general public, MayDay employees sought to determine how well the organization is known and respected. "Over the years MayDay has had a goodreputation,"Bogartsaid."People think we serve an important role in the community." Given the research that shows domestic violence is"vastly underreporled," Joseph and Bogart believe that many Baker County victims continue to shy away from calling MayDay or seeking other help. National Coalition Against Domestic Violence statistics indicate that one in 10 Oregon women were victims of domestic violence in a five-year period and one in six have been raped in their lifetime, Bogart said. And there were more than 27,000reportsofelderabusein 2010. Following national statistics, only about17 percentofthedomesticviolence perpetratedagainstwomen getsreported; 13 percent ofthedomesticviolencecases against men; 36 percent of the sexual assaults; and 7percentofelder abusecases, Bogart said. According to 2013data,Bogartsaid most of the clients served by MayDay are white females ages 25 to 59. The second most served population is white women ages 18 to 24. About 5 percent are men. The survey showed that the greatest barriers preventing victims from contacting MayDay for help are a desire for privacy and fear of the consequences of reporting, Bogart said. Those fears are wide ranging, he added. They are afraid of what will happen to them when their abusers find out they sought help, how their fiiends will react to their situation and what will happen

CITY Continued from Page1A City Manager Mike Kee said that there is a possibility thatcost-saving procedures sanctioned in the past may provide a pathway to filling the vacant slot at the fire department. ''We can hire a fireman potentially," he said. Yet Kee emphasized that any plans to add personnel is, at this point, firmly locked in the planning arena. "Idon'twant togettoofar out in front of this. It does look like we are going to have a savings in the public safety portion of the general fund that will enable us to keep the police fully staffed and hire an additional fireman/ paramedic which is badly needed," Kee said. Kee said, however, some of the projected savings could be gobbled up if the cityis requiredto pay outunemployment benefits. ''We pay our own unemployment benefits. Those two ipolice department) positions that left, depending upon what those guys do in the future, we may be on the hook

for up to $50,000," he said. Councilor Clair Button said that the empty slot at the fire department produces

Continued~om Page1A As of Thursday, 48 voters had switched to the Republican Party since April 1 — 37 of them having previously been registered as Democrats. The figures for previous months: • March: 29 voters changed to Republican — 20 of them were previously Democrats • February: 28 voters19 previously Democrats • January: 28 voters — 15 previously Democrats Amos Rasmussen and his wife, Rosemarie, of Baker City, changed from nona51iated status to registered Republicans in early February. Amos Rasmussen said the couple discussed making the change and decided to do so because the county commission election"is something I felt I needed to be involved in, and my wife agreed with me." Rasmussen said he also was motivated by his fiiendship with Mark Bennett, an incumbent commissioner who is running against Dick Fleming and Gene Stackle forPosition 2. "Inorderto vote forM ark I had to register as a Republican," Rasmussen said. He said he and his wife probably will switch back to their previous non-a51iated status after the primary. Pamela Noble, who lives near Baker City, said she and her husband, David, had beenregistered Democrats "forever," but both switched their a51iated to the GOP on April 14. Pamela Noble sard they did so because they want to have a vote in the primary and because"we just got to the point where we want a change in government." As with the Position 2 race, the campaign for the full-time county commission chairman position has only Republicans on the ballot: incumbent Fred Warner Jr. and Bill Harvey. Voters who aren't registered as Republicans will receiveaprimary ballotthat doesn't include either commission race. "Itjust doesn't seem right thatyour voice basically doesn't count,"Noble said. She said she and her husband haven't decided whether they will revert to Democratregis tration after

The bowling night is different than the MayDay vigil that is scheduled annually during the first part of October in conjunction with Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Unlike the vigil, which honors survivors and those who lost their lives to domestic violence, the bowling event is lighthearted, Bogart sald. 'The issues of MayDay are so serious that if we always hammer away at the grim details, people close that off," he said.'We can do uplifbng fun things and still getthem essage out." Another of those 'fun things" is the annual Karen Bass Memorial Softball Tournament. Karen Bass and her fiiend, Sid Stratos, were killed by Bass' estranged husband in July 1998. The annual softball tournament honors Bass' memory. MayDay also participates in community-wide events such as the Miners Jubilee, Community Night Out and the Health Fair. A Friends of MayDay group also will be organizedtohelp getthe word out and support the program and its services. And Joseph and Bogart hope to increase the organization's outreach in the schools. A May Day advocate is housed at the DHS office 30 hours a week to assist the agency on cases as needed. In addition to the office at 1834 Main St., MayDay also staffs a 24-hour crisis line to provide help around the clock, seven days a week. Community members who help guide the MayDay effort through serving on its Board are Patty Blum, president; Kevin Bell, vice president; and directors Jim Tomlinson, Sharon Bass, Janet Plumley, Marilyn Gorrell and Kathryn Nicole. For more information, call the MayDay offi ce at541-523-9472 orvisitthe website at www.maydayinc.net. The agency also is on Facebook at MayDay, Inc. The crisis hotline number is 541-5234134 ortoll-fiee,888-213-4131.

Bogart listed these other identified barriersthatpreventreporting: • A sense ofhelplessness or futility. • Fear of change. • Lack of commitment or a desire for a "quick fix." • Family loyalty • Economic dependence on the abuser. MayDay faces its own challenges in its efforts to provide help throughout the county, including staff turnover and limited resources, Bogart noted. But as itsclientbaseincreases,sodoes the opportunity for grant funding, he said. That's why MayDay is working to expand the number of people of all ages that it serves throughout the county. Part of that effort includes making thepublicmore aware oftheservicesofferedatMayDay through working with the news media and scheduling special events. In March, MayDay sponsored its first "Strike Out Abuse" cosmic bowling event in conjunction with Elkhorn Lanes. MayDay earned a little more than $700 during the 2V2-hour family fun night, Joseph said. The bowling alley was filled to near capacity with bowlers and those hoping to win door prizes and raffle items throughout the night. Another bowling fundraiser is plannedfor late October,Joseph said. Sign-ups are being accepted now for up to sixbowlers perlaneata costof$15 per person, which qualifies the bowlers for three lines ofbowling, shoes and one ticket for the door prize drawings. Other tickets, including those for raffle drawings, also will be available.

"We don't want to create a situation where

several challenges, including excess overtime pay. ''We've been listening to iJiml Price and others telling us that they are really burning up too much overtimeand burning up people. And we don't want to create a situation where something happens and they ithe fire department) can't respond promptly — for an ambulance call in particular," Button said. For now the police department is moving ahead with a process to fill its vacant slots and Kee said the addition of another fireman/paramedic will also yield savings. "The fire department has been over budget with overtime so that would be another thing, we'd try to reduce overtime and have that savings to help with that position," he said. The fire department, Kee said, has been doing more

with less for a long time. "Since I've been here we've been operating with a minimum staff and that has forced us to keep the chief on rotation shifts in order to have enough manpower. That hasn't been optimal. The fire chief should be doing administrative things, you know, like making sure we are getting out and doing our inspections, "Kee said. The consideration of the idea to hire a fireman/paramedic would not be possible, Kee said, without a concerted effort by city staffand leaders. ''We've been managing, mangers have cut costs. We've found savings. It is all generalfund so ifwe areable to cut costs in the general fund all of the departments benefit," he said. During the Council planning session, Councilor Roger Coles suggested shifting the funding for the two open police department slotsto the fire department, mainly because he said he is concerned about the ambulance service securing enough personnel. "I think those two openings in the police department should be shifted to fire to get the ambulance covered. I kindoflook atthepractical side of it. The ambulance is

a concern," Coles said at the planning session. Kee said he didn't dismiss Cole's idea, though he said he beli eves there arebetter methods to utilize to solve the fire department issue. "I think we could figure out how to address the problem in a different way and still maintain services. There are things we are looking at we'd rather do then move personal from anunderstaffed police department to an understaffedfi re department.Itis not just a matter of moving one position from another," he said.

the primary. Green said that although voters have untilApril 29 to change their a51iation, she recommends that people who intend to re-register as Republicans dosobeforethe deadline. The reason, she said, is that she plans to mail ballots on April 30 for the vote-bymail election. With only one day between thedeadlineforvoters to change their a51iation, and the mailing ofballots, Greensaid it'spossiblethat she and her staff won't be able to process all the lastminute re-registntions. In that case, voters who had switched to GOP registration might still receive a ballot that shows their previous a51iation. Such voters could go to the Courthouse and ask for a new ballot that shows their updated registration, Green said. However, a voter who mistakenly filled out a ballot, then realized the ballot didn'tindude the updated registration status, would be out ofluck, she said. Green said thatif necessary she would delay mailing ballots for one day, until May 1, but she would prefer not to do so. Green said she hasn't see so manyregistration changes since 2008 when dozensofvotersregistered as Democrats so they could vote in the presidential primary between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

caue eas u o s owin By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercttyherald.com

Baker's Dani McCauley was not to be denied Thurs-

day. The Bulldog sophomore blooped a two-out eighthinning single over the Fruitland second baseman's head to score Sally Mary Blair from second base and give Baker a 3-2 nonleague softball win at the Baker Sports Complex. W ith the scoretied at 2-2, Blair opened the eighth inning with a single. Molly McCrary then grounded out, pitcher to first, moving Blair to second base. An out later McCauley blooped her winning single into right-centerfield. McCauley earlier had given Baker a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning. Blair again opened the inning with a single. Two outs later McCauly doubled to center field to tie the game at 1-1. Morgan Plumbtree then reached base on a passed ball on a third strike, giving Baker runners on first and third.

• It was the deadliest disaster ever on the world's highest peak By Binaj Gurubacharya Associated Press

KATMANDU, NepalAn avalanche swept down a climbing route on Mount Everest early Friday, killing at least 12 Nepalese guides and leaving four missing in the deadliestdisasteron the world's highest peak. The Sherpa guides had gone early in the morning to fix ropes for other climbers when the avalanche hit them at about 6:30 a.m., Nepal Tourism Ministry official Krishna Lamsal said from the base camp where he is monitoring rescue efforts. An injured survivor told his relatives that the path up the mountain was unstable just before the avalanche. As soon as the avalanche hit, rescuers and climbers rushed to help. Rescue workers pulled out 12 bodies from under mounds of snow and ice and were searching for the four missing guides, Lamsal said. 0$cials had earlier said three were missing. The avalanche hit an area nicknamed the"popcorn field" for its bulging chucks

of ice and is just below Camp 2, Ang Tshering of the Nepal Mountaineering Association said. Camp 2 sits at an elevationof6,400 meters i21,000 feet) on the 8,850-meter i29,035-footl mountain. Survivor Dawa Tashi was airlifted to Katmandu and was lying in the intensive care unit at Grande Hospital in Katmandu. Doctors said he suffered several broken ribs and would be in the hospital for afew days. Tashi told his visiting relatives that the Sherpa guides woke up early and were on their way to fix ropes to the higher camps but were delayed because of the unsteady path. Suddenly the avalanche fell on the group and buried many of them, according to Tashi's sister-inlaw Dawa Yanju. Hundreds of climbers, guides and support crews are at Everest's base camp preparing to climb to the summit when weather conditions will be at their most favorable early next month. They have been setting up camps at higher altitudes, and guideshave been fi xing

routes and ropes on the slopes above. The Sherpa people are one of the main ethnic groups in Nepal's alpine region, and many make their living as climbing guides on Everest and other Himalayan peaks. More than 4,000 climbers have summited Everest since 1953, when it was first conquered by New Zealander Edmund Hillaryand Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Hundreds have died attempting to reach the peak. The worst recorded disaster on Everest had been a snowstorm on May 11, 1996, that caused the deaths of eight climbers. Six Nepalese guides were killed in an avalanche in 1970. Earlier this year, Nepal announced several steps to bettermanage the heavy flow of climbers and speed up rescue operations. The steps included the dispatch of officials and security personnel to thebase camp at5,300 m eters i17,380 feet),where theywillstaythroughoutthe spring climbing season that ends in May.

PORTLAND — After startingoffasone ofthehottest teams in the NBA, the Portland Trail Blazers wilted a bit after the All-Star break. The low point came on March 25 when the Blazers fell 95-85 at Orlando. The losscapped a 4-9 stretch for Portland. But since then, the Blazers have won nine of their final 10 games and wrapped up the regular season with a five-game winning streak. It's that rebound that gives

playoffs." Portland, the fifth seed in the West, faces the Rockets in the opening round of the playoffs with Game 1 set for Sunday night in Houston. The Blazers haven't been to the playoffs since 2011, when

they fell in six games to the Mavericks in the first round. Portland finished the regular season with 54 wins, the team's most since the 2008-09 season, and bettered their record by 21 wins over lastseason forthe biggest turnaround in franchise history. ''We saidbefore theseason there was something special about this team. To get 54 wins after having 33 last year and being written off from thejump — we played with an edge all year," guard Wesley Matthews said.

The Blazers gotoffto a surprising24-5 startthis season, the best record in the NBA at the time. The addition of center Robin Lopez and the inspired play of LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard helped fuel the ascent. Both Aldridge and Lillard were named All Stars. The March swoon coincided in part with the absence of Aldridge, who missed seven games because of a lower back contusion. His returnsteadied the team for the push toward the playoffs.

The U.S. Forest Service has published a guide for mushroom hunters in the Blue Mountains. No, it doesn't come with a map dotted with'Xs u to show you the best patches of morels(see photo at right) and boletes. Mushrooms are too unpredictable anyway, rarely sprouting in the same place in consecutive years.

Many species of mushrooms are poisonous, so pickers should consult one of the many books or websites that help identify which mushrooms are safe to eat. The key rule in mushrooming is simple: "If in doubt, throw it out." People who plan to pick no more than one gallon of mushrooms per day, for personal use, don't need a permit ithe limit is five gallons in the portion of the Umatilla National Forest in Washington). These free-use mushrooms are for personal consumption and can't be sold, bartered, or given away. A commercial mushroom permit is

An Industrial Camping Permit is required if commercial mushroom harvesters and buyers plan to camp overnight on national forest land. Industrial camping permits can only be obtained at the local Ranger District offIce. Commercial mushroom harvesters and buyers are prohibited from camping in developed campgrounds. Commercial mushroom picking is prohibited in wilderness areas. Beginning this ttm o season, commercial mushroomers will be required to keep a record of the date, time, and quantity of mushrooms they pick.

Sandhill cranes have recently arrived at Ladd Marsh and are setting up housekeeping. The birds will lay and hatch two eggs, but often only one chick, also known as a colt, will survive. The birds can live up to 40 years. About10 to 15 pairs breed on the wildlife area.

Blue on black. This fly speaks sea-run cutthroat in October when harvest trout stack against the bank in deep, slow pools— blue-backed tears on a river. This fly boasts a slim, dark profile that swims with a tantalizing up-anddown motion. Don't mess around with other patterns and don't cast over the fish Lay the fly down about 6 feet away from the nearest trout and let the fly sink to the count of three. Match on a fire. Start a slow 1-inch retrieve and, if you see the strike, wait until the fish turns before lifbng the rod. Tie this one with black thread and a dark bead. For the tail, use a short length of black marabou. Dub the tapered body with midnight blue sparkle dubbing. Finish with a palmered black dry-fly hackle.

iin arrives, an I i S in Ii ieS Ii' • The water's warm ingand crappie,one of the tastiest fish, will soon start getting ready to spawn and they'll go on a feeding binge that makes them easy to catch What is it about spring that makes you want to go fishing? The fi rstw arm sunny day and I'm ready to go.The problem is, even though it may be warm where you are, in the water where the fish are it won't be warming up for another week or two. But sometime soonit' sgoing to start getting warm and sunny and you'll getbitbythe ", ~ . TQM CLAYCQMB fishing bug, and crappie are one of the most low key, best-eating fish that you can ask for. OK, how do we get into them? Water temperature is probably the biggest key to catching crappie. The change in water temperature spurs crappie to start moving in from their deeper wintering holes to their spawning areas. To be successful you either need to have a good reliable fishing report, a good buddy who is out there all the time, or go yourself so as to be on top of things. To know right when it kicks off you need to be out there a few days early so when it starts you won't miss the kickoff. Everyone will tell you that crappie start moving out of their deeper wintering holes when the water hits something like 45 to 50 degrees. Then when it hits 55 theQ stage outside of their spawning areas. Then near 60 the males will move inand fan outa bed.Crappie willbeon a pre-spawn feeding binge during this time. And then, when the water temp gets up to 60 to 65, they start spawning. These temps are general. Anyway, let's say that conditions are right. Where do you fish? Crappie are unique. I've fished for them in a lot of states. In North Texas they went up in the willows and spawned. In Nebraska it's been up in the brush piles, but in Oregon and Idaho it's right up against a bare rocky bank. I mean I catch them literally one foot from the bank. Best lakes seem to change for me everyyear. Some years I do real good at Brownlee Reservoir and others at Lake Owyhee. There are a lot of methods to catch them but minnows are best. The problem is, out West most states don't allow fishing with minnows so here's another setup that is effective. I like to put on a small pencil bobber. I don't know why you catch more fish with a pencil bobber than with a round bobber but it sure works better for me. Below the pencil bobber I put on a small jig. I'll throw it right up along the bank and let it sit there. The action of the water will draw a bite. As a kid, yellow was always the hot spring color but the last two years I've smoked them on black and white jigs. Before that it was red and white. I don't know if you catch all the crappies out of the gene pool that sees black and white best but it seems to change every few years. Maybe it's the amount oflight, clarity of water at that time, who knows. But carry multiple colors of jigs and see which one works best for you. Little Roadrunner jigs also work great and you can jig with them if they're staged out deeper. If I'm having a slow day I like to troll around with a Hot'n Tot or a Rattlin'Trap. I'll usually pick up quite a few with them. Then after I locate them I know where to camp out and slay them. Crappie are a schooling fish so where you catch one, you'll catch a lot more so anchor there and jig. I also catch a lot of fish over the day if I throw a worm off the back of the boat with a split shot. A lot of people throw them in a 5-gallon bucket. In the old days everyone used a fish basket. The only bad deal with a basket is if you blast off and forget to pull it in the boat, your basket will rip off and you'll lose all of your fish. I just carry a cooler and throw in a jug of ice to keep them fresh. Everyone has their own favorite recipes but my favorite method to cook them is to just roll them in cornmeal, throw them in a hot skillet and sprinkle on some Tony Cachere's seasoning.Crappie are about asgood ofeating asitgets. ~

Morel of the story: Frustration, fulfillment Mushroom huntingis relatively new to me and though Igetobsessiveduringthe searchforlostkeys,looking for small, brown morels that melt into their surroundings can be kustratjng. I first went looking for the tasty fungi two years ago. Since they look like small pine cones, my strategy was to look for pine cones, but that didn't work very well. I soon lost interest, but I had a camera and took dozens of dose-ups of wildflowers. I found three morels all day, and one I was led to with much pmmpting. Last year I fared a little better — suddenly I could see them betterand Istarted to learn some of the habitatin which they gmw. Though I still tire easily when the search yields little kuit, fm motivated by one thing: I love to eat them. With morels stored in the keezer that were cooked in garlic butter,and yearsof dried ones shoved into a back cupboauf corner, kom time to time I ask permission to use some of nature' ssolidgold for dinner. fve always liked mushrooms, but wild mushrooms, picked locally, not only have more mystery and allure, but a lot more flavor than the criminis and portabellos available at the gmcery store. A couple springsagoIdined on m orels in stmganoff, onion soup and in risotto all in one week. I never tire of them, but they are a precious commodity. During the early season we gorge on them, thinking of ways to sneak them in to dinner and brunch dishes. Even with a healthy stash, I try to pace their use throughout the year to maintain the specialness of adding wild mushrooms to a m eal. Last Sunday's dinner was

One suggestionIread wasto soak them in chicken broth. I had a quart in the keezer. The mushrooms changed kom a gray color back to the brown hue of their kesh state. I added broth to the polenta as well as milk, garlic powder and Parmesan at the end. That tasteoflastspring ofmorels in the polenta has whetted my appetite for mushroom hunting. Mushrooms come into season atdifferenttim es,elevations and moisture content. Is the ground warm enough? After a rain a good sunny day or two can have them popping up like camouflaged dandelions. I have heard legends of a hundred in one spot, but so far I'm excited to find as many as half a dozen at a time. I feel it's a little early, but on a walk last week I couldn't help peeling my eyes along the side of the trail and poking into needles under fir trees to see if they were there yet. All Idiscovered were buttercups and the tips of wild iris that will carpet my favorite trail in the coming weeks with their purple petals. Morels. One more sign of spring. While I wait for the little buggers to pop through I can dream ofrecipes in which to include them. In fact, I think I'm going to dig into the stash for a spinach, mushroom and egg casserole for Easter brunch. As Julia Child used to say, "Bon Appetit!"

''Wealso need togetthe wolves off the state Endangered Species list, which has alotofrestrictionsfor management," he said. Even if wolves are removedfrom the federal Endangered Species Act, they are still listed as Endangered underthe Oregon Endangered Species Act. Once there are four breeding pairs of wolves in Eastern Oregon for three consecutive years they can be considered for removal kom the Oregon

ESA. Last year was the second

consecutive year that Oregon wolves had four breeding pairs with pups thatsurvived atleastuntil Dec. 31. ''We don't need wolves listed," said Coggins.'The state is fully capable of recovering them." As an example, Coggins notes that in the late 1960s, the cougar population was so low that they probably would have been listed if there had been an EndangeredSpeciesActatthe time. Instead, without any federalprotections,thestate recoveredthe population, and cougars are now present in nearly every part of Oregon. Moose have also been successfully colonizing northeastern Oregon in recent years without any ESA protection, Coggins said.

OUTDOORS 8 REC

• Travel Oregon puts together a list of the state's top scenic attractions, and one of them (only one?) is in Northeastern Oregon By John Gottberg Anderson FormfesCom News Seryice

You may have seen Travel Oregon's new promotional campaign in television commercials, printadvertisements or on its website. It's called "The Seven Wonders of Oregon." The Portland agency Wieden+Kennedy designed the campaign, but I think their efforts fell short of their mark: Certainly, there are more than seven wonders in our state. Here's how Travel Oregon announces the campaign: 'There are 7 Wonders of the World, and not a single one of them is here in Oregon. All we can figure is whoever came up with the listmust have never setfoot here. They must have never seen Mount Hood or the grandeur of the Columbia River Gorge. They certainly didn't explore the Oregon Coast. The exposed earth of the Painted Hills, Smith Rock's towers of volcanic ash and the alpine peaks of the Wallowaswere overlooked as well. Even Crater Lake, the deepest lake in America, was left off their list. So we see your Wonders, world. And raise you 7 of our own. And we invite you to not just see them, but experience them. Because our Wonders aren't just for taking pictures of — to truly say you've seen our Wonders, you have to get out of the car, hike down &om the scenic vista and feel them beneath your feet." I agree with the sentiment. So to the original list, I have addedtwo that Iconsider essential — Oregon Caves and Hells Canyon. Neither one of them can be seen &om the safety of your car.

At its wetter western end, the highway weaves past the stunning Chanticleer Point scenic viewpoint and the classic Vista House at Crown Point State Park, 733 feet above the Columbia River. It also passes numerous spectacular waterfalls, including Multnomah Falls, second-highest falls in the United States, plunging 611 feetin two cataracts. The eastern end of the Gorge beyond Hood River is much drier, but it is no less scenic. Just west of The Dalles, the highway winds through wildflower-rich Tom McCall Preserve and over Rowena Crest, with a descent alongaseriesofgraceful switchbacks. And near its east end, on the Washington shore, such enigmatic creations of Quaker leader Sam Hill as a war-memorial replica of Stonehenge and the Maryhill Museum of Art riseon bluffs above theriver. Today, tourism takes a differentform than itdid before World War II. The Gorge is home to highly regarded wineries and breweries, and prevailing winds on the Columbia River have made the Gorge world-renowned for wind surfing and kite boarding.

Painted Hills

Within the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, layersoflakebed sediments and fossilized soils have left an artist's palette 33 million years old. In the Painted Hills, vividly striped hummocks, bands ofburnt-orange and ocher-yellow, olive-green and rust-red, lay a unique veneer upon the arid landscape. There are four short trails here. The Painted Hills Overlook Trailgivesthe best overall view of this vibrant landscape, its appearance changing as clouds come and go.

The Wallowas In so many ways, Wallowa County is the proverbial end of the road. All alone in Oregon'sisolated northeastern corner, its lofty peaks surround aspectacular glacial lake, a nationally acclaimed community of bronze sculptors in Joseph and beautiful ranchland that spreads to the rugged chasm of Hells Canyon. The summer tourist season is short, and even at the peak of thatseason,velvetantleredmule deer sidestep small tents to graze in the state park's campground. Meanwhile, the region's No. 1 man-made tourist attraction, the Wallowa Lake Tramway to the top of Mount Howard, is lucky to fill every third cab. Above deep-blueWallowa Lake, nestled in the cradle of moraines, foot and horseback trails climb into the Eagle Cap Wilderness, long ago nicknamed "America's Alps." Wallowa regional history has deep roots in the Nez Perce tribal culture. These people knew their homeland as "the land of wandering waters." When American settlersbegan occupying their lands, father-and-son Chiefs Josephled aresistance that remains one of the moist poignantepisodes ofW estern history.

Crater Lake

The Oregon Caves, south of Grants Pass, are formed of calcit e thatwas deposited by sea water 250 million years ago. Buried far beneath overlying rock, the calcite metamorphosed into marble, a feature of only about 5 percentofthew orld'scaves. Water filtering &om the surfaceover the past2.5 millionyears created a carbonic acid that continues to seep through the rock, dissolving it and creating formations on the ceiling of the cavestalacti tes,draperiesand flowstone. It is not only rock that lives within the cave system. Federally preserved as a site of"unusual scientific interest," the Oregon Caves arehome to 120 distinct, endemic species, more than any other cave west of the Mississippi River. Most of them arespiders,insectsand eightdifferent types ofbats.

Hells Canyon, through which the Snake River flows along the border of Oregon and Idaho, makes claimtobeing thedeepest river-carved gorge in North America. At 7,913 feet i&om the summit of Idaho's Seven Devils Mountain, 9,393 feet, to the canyon floor at Granite Creek,1,480feet),it'shalf again deeper than Arizona's Grand Canyon. Though not as colorful nor as spectacular as the Grand &om a geologi calstandpoint, it is a national recreation area ofhuge appeal to whitewater rafters and jet-boat enthusiasts, while backpackers, hunters and fishermen love the chasm as well. On both sides of the northbound Snake, basalt cliffs rise in stepsabove theriver.Here and there are gravel bars and alluvial streams, where Nez Perce once wintered and pioneerhomesteaders built remote cabins and orchards. As recently as 1975, when the Hells Canyon National RecreationArea was established, sheep grazed the sparsely vegetatedterrain.

Sportsmen, however, may be isolated for days at a time,asaccessroadsinto the canyon are few and far between.

Congress signed off on the huge land buy in 2010 to settlea law suit,afterroyalties from Indian land never m ade it back tothetribesas promised. Since the program officially launched in 2012, the Department of Interior has focused the bulk of its work on just three tribes. It has made its first offers to landowners on the Makah reservation in Washington state and the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations in South Dakota. Appraisal work is under way on three other reservations in Montana. But cri ticsfearthedepartment won't have enough time to meet its goal of buying land for at least 150 tribesbefore the program expires in 2022.

microbiome

ou may not be who you think you are. According to Mitchell Jones, M.D., Ph.D., only 10-percent of your cells are ofhuman origin. Ninety percent of the cells in your body are non-human microorganisms. These microbes cover your skin, intestines, respiratory and urogenital tracts. But read on before you bathe yourself in Lysol. While we are outnumbered by our microbiome, they seem to be eager to help. The specific mix of microbes a person has is unique to them. A variety of microbes makes up your unique microbiome and is determined by your diet, genetics and antibiotic use. These friendly bugs grow in distinct populations on yourbody toadapt to local environments. The microbiome in your gut, or in your sinuses, or on your skin, for example,have adapted to life in that particular environment. The microbiome plays a major role in our health in many ways. This recent area of study has already found helpful bugs make vitamin K and B, harvest energy and nutrients from otherwise useless indigestible foods, and play a role in our immune function and intestinal barrier health. Without these helpful microbes, we would perish. The balance of these bugs canbe stable,butis influenced by diet, stress and drugs. A diet high in carbohydrates, or fats, or fiber will alter the balance. Drugs like antibiotics, steroids and hormones adversely affect the balance. An understanding of our m icrobiomeor"forgotten organ" can be very helpful. The typeand variety ofm icrobes you have can help knowledgeable doctors diagnose and treatdisease.Prediction ofdisease,possible therapeutics and outcomes are all improved if we understand the role the microbiome plays. While the fact that you are sharing your body with one to the 30th power microbes may be news to you, it's been going on a long time. By the way, one to the 30th power is a pretty big number: one followedby 30 zeroes,alm ost twice the number of grains of sand on all the world's beaches, according to the University of Hawaii.

he newest report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that Alzheimer's disease is now the third leading cause of death in the United States, moving up from its former sixth-place rating of prior years. Alzheimer's is not easy to diagnose, being one of a number of dementia types, so it oftenbecomes the default diagnosis after all other types of dementia are ruled out. "Alzheimer's disease is only diagnosed when everything else is ruled out," said Kaylena Townsend, expressions director of Wildflower Lodge in La Grande, an assisted living and memory care facility. When diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, physicians often look for three impairment indicators. These indicators show up early in the disease progression and are known in the medical profession as the "A-Triad" of Alzheimer's disease. They include

agnosia ivisionl, aphasia ispeechl and apraxia imotor skills). Any one or a combination of these impairment indicators, in addition to memory and cognitive changes, may be present early on in the Alzheimer'sprogression.Todatethey are the most accurate clues that a dementia patient has Alzheimer's. For this reason, it's important for family and caregivers togetfam iliarwith these early signs.

"Agnosia is the inability of your brain to interpret signs from your senses," said Townsend. "Our eyes act as a camera, which transmit information for the brain to interpret, but with Alzheimer's disease,thisinterpretationprocess becomes altered." With visual agnosia, the eyes and the optic nerve are not injured, but the information pathway doesn't identify the object being viewed by the eye. When a person touches or holds that object, then the tactile information pathway, or in other words, their sense of touch will help them identify it. Visual agnosia explains why some patients who wander away from home, may not be able to find

Researchers have known for some timethat cardiovascular problems in middle and later adulthood may cause cognitive deficits as we age. But surprisingly, there has been little if any research into whether such problemsearlierin adulthood have the same effect. A new study from the University of California at San Francisco shows that they may, providing another reason to pay attention to fitness and cardiovascular health early in life. "The factthat we're able to see the association so early is kind of amazing, and it's kind of sobering and exciting," said Kristine Yaffe, a professor ofpsychiatry and neurologyat UCSF, who led the study."We know these connections are true for the heart, and now we know it's true for the brain."

their way back because they do not recognize their home or the neighborhood streets. In cases where a patient with visual agnosia has gone missing, it is important to tell law enforcement officers about their condition. Agnosia is caused by brain damage to certain pathways that go between the primary sensory processing area ofthebrain to the partsof the brain that store information and knowledge. "The olfactory cortex is the part of the brain that identifies odors," said Townsend, "and it is one of the first

partsofthe brain tobe affected by Alzheimer's." For this reason, a person may not be able to identify spoiled foods like milk. "It may smell okay to an Alzheimer's patient, but it's spoiled," said Townsend."That is why caregivers should routinely check the refrigeratorforspoiled foods." The diminished ability to smell can createserious health risks. Our ability to identify smells often stimulates hunger and thirst, but when odors are not recognized by the brain, the Alzheimer patient SeeAlzheimer's/ Page 2C

The reasons for that aren't clear, they wrote, but they speculated that the circulatory problems might limit blood flow to the brain or evendamage the brain's blood vessels in ways that aren't apparent until the tests are given. One limitation of the study is thatresearchers did nothave baselinedata on the participants'cognitive function, so they could not compare their performance on the tests over time. So the comparison was between people with the risk factors and those without them.

EYE ON HEALTH DR. DAVID GLABE

Observer staff

Simple technique may help detect eye problems ost eye problems that result in vision loss affect one eye significantly more than the other. However, becausethe brain piecestogether visual information from both eyes, vision loss that occurs in an overlapping area of the visual field often goes unnoticed — at leastuntiltheother eye iscovered. Common and debilitating eye diseases like macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, cataracts,and amblyopia i"Iazy eye"l would often be detected earlier if one eye's vision was occasionally compared to that of the other eye. Earlier detection of eye disease allows for earlier intervention when needed, which often makes the difference in preserving visual function. I would like to suggest a simple fourstep process that may help you or your lovedones detecteyeproblems sooner: 1.Look ata distantobjectthatis small, but visible with both eyes open. 2. Cover your right eye with a hand and pay attention to the image focus. 3. Now uncover your right eye and cover your left eye. 4. Compare right and left eye image clarity. While small differences between the eyes may be normal, if one eye's image is significantly worse than the other, a visit to your local optometrist or ophthalmologist may be needed to determine the reason why. Sometimes the image disparity isa resultofm ore nearsightedness, farsightedness,or astigmatism in one eye, and a prescriptionforeyeglassesmay be allthatis required to resolve the problem. In other cases, the vision imbalance may stem from an underlying medical eye conditionthatneeds to be addressed to avoid further vision loss. While this procedure cannot detect alleye problems and istherefore nota substitute for regular and comprehensive eye examinations by a qualified professional, it may help you detect eye conditions affecting your vision sooner than you would otherwise recognize them. So remember every now and then to cover an eye — because you might just uncover an eye problem you weren't aware of. Dr. David Glabe in an optometrist at La Grande Family Eye Care

It manifests itself in many ways, including the dropping of words in a sentence or inability to clearly identify an object, referring to itperhaps as "thing" instead of its name. Some with aphasia resort to describing the object when they cannot think of its name. For example, when a person can't say"door" he may say instead, "that thing you go through to the next room."

7 million are enrolled, but challenges remain By Ricardo AlonsoZaldivar The Associated Press

Seven million people signed up, so there is an appetite for President Barack Obama's health care law, but that doesn't guarantee success for the country's newestsocialprogram. Big challenges are lurking for the next enrollment season, which starts Nov. 15. Chief among them are keepingpremiums and other consumer costs in check, and overhauling an enrollment process that was adverti sed ascustomerfriendly but turned out to be an ordeal. "They have demonstrated the law can work, but we are a ways off from being able to judge its success," said Larry Levitt, an expert on health insurance markets at the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. For opponents of the law, on the other hand, "just talking about repeal is not going to make it with 7 million people getting insurance on the exchange," said economist Gail Wilensky, who ran Medicare under President George H.W. Bush. "And it has to be something reasonably credible," Wilensky continued "... It can't just be repeal. We are beyond that."

&om the nation's new economic reality: a shrinking middle class and many working people treading water in low-paying jobs. Health insurance has been oneofthepillarsof middle-class security for decades. With fewer jobs thesedays that provide health benefits, there was an opening for a government program to subsidize private insurance.

Enter Obama When Medicareand Medicaidwere created in the 1960s,policymakers took itforgranted that people working steady jobs would have access to health care, saidLen Nichols,directorof the health policy center at George Mason University in Virginia. That was "back in the day," Nichols said."Our assumptions have been all along that you could buy what you needed. But you cannot. And that is why we are where we are." Itcouldtake therestof the year to sort out how many uninsured people have actually gotten coverage,the ultimate testof Obama's law. Early statistics provided by the administration have not been useful, mingling uninsured people with those who previously had coverage. But an ongoing Gallup survey has shown a steady drop in the share of Americans without insurance

since Jan. 1, when the law's main coverage expansion took effect. Those numbers should improve because many people still can take advantage of extensions granted by the administration, and because those eligible for the law's Medicaid expansion can apply at any time. Still, vindication for Obama's law isn't guaranteed. Among the top challenges:

Affordability Health insurance premiums tend to go up every year, so the question now is how much higher in 2015. "How fast they go up will no doubt vary across the country," Levitt said."Public judgment of the law will be influenced by how rapidly premiums rise." There's a back-andforth going on, he said. An improving economy and the law's taxes on insurers will tend to push up premiums. Mechanisms in the law to assist insurers with a disproportionatel y largeshare ofhigh-cost patients will push down premiums. The big unknown is what economic bets insurers made whentheyjumped into the markets created by the law. If they were conservative and figured a big share of costly cases among the newly insured, that would take some pressure off premiums for next year. Another important affordability issue has to do

with deductibles and copayments that consumers have to pay when they use their insurance benefits. Many of the new plans have high out-ofpocket costs,a tradeotf for keeping premiums low. The advocacy group Families USA, which has supported the law from its inception, says the government should nudge insurers tocovermore routine m edical careoutsideofthe annual plan deductible, the amount consumers pay before insurance kicks in. Right now it's mainly preventiveservicesthat arecovered outside ofthe deductible.

The sign-up process One of the law's main goals was to take the mystery out of purchasing insurance, in the same way buying a car is less intimidating these days because prices, quality ratings and loan rates are easily available on the Internet. But even when the websites are working, the insurance exchanges are anything but easy to navigate. Finding out what hospitalsand doctors are in particular plans requires additional work. Also, experts say it's really difficult to getto a true bottom-line estimate that includes premiums and expected cost-sharing. "The promise has not been reali zed,"said Robert

Krughoff, president of Consumers' Checkbook, a rating servicethat evaluates health plans for members of Congress and federal employees. "The law says the exchanges will assist consumers in making easy plan choices, and that has not been realized. But it could be." One common recomm endation istoprovide consumers with much more in-person assistance to enroll and pick a plan. A change that might help meet that goal is to align sign-up season with tax filing because that could enlist the help of tax preparers. As it stands now, the administration has scheduled open enrollment season to end on Feb. 15, 2015, right around when most people are just starting to think about filing their taxes.

Seasick? Distraction

might help By StephanieRosenbloom New YorkTimes News Service

Few things will ruin a cruise faster than feeling seasick. To help prevent motion sickness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying hydrated as well as curbing alcohol and cafeinated drinks and eating small meals iyeah, right) and limiting external stimuli. While some experts say cabins in the middle of the lower deck of a ship may help temper motion sickness, the CDC has reported that"cabin locationon a cruise ship does not appear to influence the likelihood of motion sickness." What to do? You could take Dramamine or another antihistamine, which can control nausea and vomiting, or a prescription medication such as the Transderm Scop patch or Promethazine, many of which will make you drowsy.

Aromatherapy Forsome travelers,essential oils from plants alleviate nausea, especial lylavender and peppermint aromatherapy. Yet according to the National Institutes of Health"there is little scientific evidenceoflavender'seffectiveness for most health uses."

Music Studies have shown the power of music therapy for lessening anxiety, easing nausea and vomiting &om chemotherapy, relieving pain atter surgery and, yes, for reducing seasickness. The underlying reason? Distraction, which, it turns out, can work wonders. A study published in 2012 by researchers at the University Medical CenterHamburg-Eppendorf in Germany found that distraction isn't only a mental process: It can reduce the number of pain signals traveling from the spinal cord to the brain.

Ginger According to the National Institutes of Health, ginger contains chemicals that work in the stomach and intestines, but possibly also in the brain and nervous system to control nausea. The key word is "pos-

sibly." A ratings scale known as the Natural Medicines ComprehensiveDatabase ratestheetfectiveness of natural medicines based on scientific evidence, accordingto the Institutes. Ginger is rated as "possibly effective" fordizziness and nausea yet, "possibly ineffective" for preventing motion sickness and seasickness.

HEALTH 8 FITNESS

ess-sc ooe w e s o se o n evi , s concu es By Michael Kanell The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATLANTA — Barbara Gentry slowly shifts her heavy frame out of a chair and uses a walker to move the dozen feet to a chair not farfrom the pooltable atthe Buford Senior Center. Her hair is white and a cough sometimes interrupts her speech, but she says she enjoys coming to the center for bingo. Itbeats staying home alone, the 64-year-old says. "I don't work," she said."I don't do anything but come here.I've gotfriends here." Gentry is among an estimated 340,000 white Georgia women who never finished high school, a group whose members have paid a price not just in lost opportunities but also poorerhealth and reduced lifespans, according to a new study. Nationwide, the life expectancy of white women without high school diplom as fell from 78.5 in 1990 to 73.5 in 2008, according to the study. Lifespans for white men with no diplomas fellfrom 70.5 to 67.5 over the same period. "It is as if Americans with the least education are living in a time warp," said S. Jay Olshansky, professor in the school of public health at the University of Illinois at Chicago and lead researcher on the study."The declines were more rapid and larger than anything we've seen in history." Life expectancy in the United States has risen steadily overall, across genders and ethnicities, according to studies by the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies. Olshansky's study is unusual in that it focuses on the correlation between lifespan and education level. White men without a high school education still liveabout a yearlonger than black men in the same category, though the latter group's longevity has risen.

Lifespans for black women with no high school diploma also are up and slightly exceed those for white women, according to the university's study. Longevity among Hispanics of either gender without high school diplomas also has climbed, and they outlive both blacks and whites, the research found.

M ost other categories of education level — high school, some college, college degree — showed gains for both genders and all three ethnicities. Why the sharpest decline among undereducated white women? cWe are not entirely sure about why it happened," Olshansky said.

People attend the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session and Expo in Washington. A large study in Sweden found that a blood test plus the usual electrocardiogram of the heartbeat were 99 percent accurate at showing which patients could safely be sent home rather than be admitted for observation and more diagnostics.

Study: Diabetic heart attacks and

strokes falling The Associated Press

NEW YORK — In the m idst ofthediabetes epidemic, a glimmer of good news: Heart attacks, strokes and other complications from the disease are plummeting. Over thelasttw odecades, the ratesofheart attacks and strokesamong diabeticsfell by more than 60 percent, a new federal study shows. The research also confirms earlier reportsofdrasticdeclines in diabetes-related kidney failure and amputations. The drop is mainly attributedtobetterscreening, medicines and care. The improvements came even as the number of U.S. adults with diabetesmore than tripled in those 20 years. "Itisgreatnews,"said Dr. John Buse, a University of North Carolina diabetes specialist, of the drop in rates. 'The prognosisforfolks with diabetes has improved dramatically over the last two decades,atleastforthose

with good access to care," Buse said in an email. He was not involved in the study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention research is reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. Diabetes is a disease in which sugar builds up in the blood. The most common form istied toobesity,and the number of diabetics has ballooned with the rise in obesity. Today, roughly 1 in 10 U.S. adults has the disease, and it is the nation's seventh leadingcause ofdeath,according to the CDC. The obese are already at higherrisk forheartattacks and strokes. But diabetics seem to have more narrowing of their blood vessels — a condition that can further fosterthose problems. In the 1990s, key studies showed thatdiabeticscould keeptheirblood sugar,blood pressure and cholesterol under control.

Worship requires neither proper place nor proper clothing. For believers, the same couldbe said ofGod'sgrace. It requires no invitation and is necessitated by no particular Sunday morning ritual. It can sometimes show itself ostentatiously on a Monday morning or slyly reveal itself entirely unbidden on a Thursday at 3:15. And sometimes it can show up when you are in an uncomfortable yoga position where you started by doing a push-up, then your left knee dropped to the floor near your right hip and your forearms lowered to the mat and then your right leg fell to the floor and your right foot's circulation is about done and you'resupposed to belifting your chest up at the same time. And there itis. What everyone here has come for, really. That moment that"I'm with God by myself;" explains Courtney Scantlin, a working motheroftwofiom Lake Forest, Calif., who is not so unfamiliar with God's grace that she is blinded by the fact that she is also multitasking while doing Holy Yoga at Mariner's Church in Mission Viejo, Calif, on a Tuesday night. But, say its adherents, Holy Yoga is hardly an attempt to make worship more convenient for the overtaxed 21st-century fitness-minded set. Imagined 10 years ago by Brooke Boon, a yogi before she was a Christian, its mission statementis designed to put a halt to those Christian groups that might find the traditional Easternpracticeofyoga somehow suspect as a vehicle for Christian reverence.

"Holy Yoga," the statement reads, "is experiential worship specifically created to deepen your connection to Christ.

She was once a runner."I was running away from my house," the mother of three daughters laughs. Thompson says her first Holy Yoga session was one she "went to reluctantly. Yoga looked boring to me." It turned out to be "the most powerful experience of worship I'd ever had," Thompson says now."I cried through half of it. When I got back in the car, I told my sister-in-law who went with me I wanted to become an instructor."Within two weeks, she'd signed up. Within two months, she'd taken daily training and was ready to teach a beginning-level class. She calls this "full-body worship," but is emphatic thatsheisnotapastor.
