Oregon, 5A LAKE OSWEGOThe GOP is making a bold play for a U.S. Senate seat in reliably Democratic Oregon, where a Republican hasn't been elected to a statewide office in more than a decade. Republicans back in Washington think they've found the right candidate in Monica Wehby, a children's brain surgeon who's raised more than $1 million and put her early opposition to President BarackObama's health care law at the center of her campaign.

BRIEFING

for rain • With Phillips Reservoir not quite half full, water supplies this summer could come up short !

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Jeff Colton has been getting an awful lot of what he doesn't want — wind — and very little of what he needs. Rain. Colton, who manages the Baker Valley Irrigation District, would like to fill Phillips Reservoir, the Powder River impoundment between Baker City and Sumpter that supplies irrigation water for about 30,000 acres in Baker

But the weather, after deliveringa seriesofsnowpackboosting storms in February and March, has yet to summon the spring rains that are so vital locally. "I'm curious to see what this storm's going to bring this week," Colton said this morning."It'd be a life-saver for me if we could get some good rain." April is well behind schedule in that regard. Measurable rain has fallen on just two days this month at the Baker City Airport, for a paltry total of.15 of an inch. April' saverage is .82ofan inch. Instead of soil-nourishing rain, fields have been swept by a nearly relentless, moisture-sapping wind. 'That wind sure takes its toll," Colton said.

Saturday's event finds Nicholas Chantel-Cassaro with a good grasp on the situation. Hundreds of children are attracted to the event where the contents of eggs include candy or tokens that can be redeemed for prizes. r,4

A Good Grasp On The Situation

Sports, SA HOUSTON — LaMarcus Aldridge had just fouled out late in overtime after scoring a career-high and franchise playoff-record 46 points when he went to Portland teammate Damian Lillard with a simplemessage. "I said: 'Take it over,'" Aldridge said. Lillard did just that, finishing with 31 points and making the goahead free throws in overtime to lift the Trail Blazers to a 122-120 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night in a thrilling firstround series opener.

the opportunity to return to Eastern. "I'm very excited. I feel honored and privileged," he said. Kenton's ties to Northeast Oregon run deeper than his three-year stint at EOU. He is building a cabin near Joseph and often comes to Northeast Oregon to hunt elk and go on river excursions. "Ilovethearea and thepeople,"

Kenton said. He said that EOU is critical to the Eastern Oregon region and has the potential to play an even more important role than it does now. Kenton will formally take the reins at Eastern on June 16 after current president Bob Davies steps down.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 21, 1964 (Editor's Note: CongressmanAl Ullman asked and was given permission to extend his remarks into the Congressional Record concerning the death of the Rev. Bruce Klunder. Following is his statement taken from the Congressional Record: "Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday a fine young man died for a cause. It was a case he felt it his Christian duty to support — not just by words, but by action. I am sure he did not expect to die, nor did any of the others who were present at the tragic scene intend that he should, but it happened. He died in a heroic gesture of defiance against what had become to him and others a symbol of injustice and inequality." 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 20, 1989 The Baker County Court heard a request from a local bass club for more parking and work on the boat ramps at Hewitt Park at its regular session Wednesday morning. County Judge RalphWard said Phil Simonski, a spokesman for the Lunker Landers bass club told the court that the group would like to see more parking available at the park and would like to get the boat ramps extended another 50 to 60 feet. He said Hewitt Park is full and is expected to remain full for most of the summer. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 21, 2004 Aletha Bonebrake didn't know the Oregon Library Association gave out a distinguished service award. The reason was simple: This is the first year the OLA has sought nominations for this honor, which recognizes a librarian or library staff member who has been in the profession for 15 or more years for exceptional service over a period of years. Bonebrake found out about the new award at the OLA conference on April 15 — just a few moments before learning that she is the first-ever recipient. "It was pretty cool," she said. "I was thrilled." ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 24, 2013 Benjamin Foster, a student at Eastern Oregon University and an intern at City Hall, addressed the City Council Tuesday to promote his proposal to ban the use of tobacco products in city parks and recreation areas. Foster, who lives in Baker City and is minoring in government at EOU, drafted proposed ordinance 3322. The ordinance would exclude the city-owned Quail Ridge Golf Course from the tobacco ban. Foster spoke at a council meeting earlier this year and asked for the ban then. He returnedTuesday night to promote the idea again.

to become a machinist/mechanic, a craft that he perfected during the war at many bases throughout the Southwest. These skills also proved very useful when repairing his and his friends' farm equipment. When Don was discharged, he and Leone movedtoOgden, Utah, where their son, John, was born in 1946. However the lack ofhorses and cows in that area led them to Mitchell, where Don worked as the machinist for the sawmill in addition to running their small ranch. Their daughter, Donna, was born at Prineville in 1950. In 1952, the search for a larger ranch led them to Pine Valley where they bought the West Dry Creek ranch. In 1973 Don and Leone embarked on their most ambitious trip, when they traveled on their own to visit Donna who was in Nepal. They stopped en route in India to see the Taj Mahal. The local Nepalese food was not high on their list of good memories, but the elephant ride was. Don retired from ranching in 1985 to embark on his second career as a blacksmith. As he became more proficient, his clientsasked forlarger pieces,and now his work can be seen throughout Pine Valley, Baker City, and in Idaho, Florida and Great Britain. When he wasn't in the blacksmith shop, he could be found at various fishing holes. In retirement he made time to go camping and traveling with friends and family, visiting Alaska, Florida, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, family members said. Survivors include his son, John, and his wife, Ranee; his daughter, Donna, and her husband, Chip Carter; and his grandson, Abe. Memorial contributions may be made to the Halfway Lions Club or the Pine Valley Fair Association through Tami's Pine Valley Funeral Home & Cremation Services, P.O. Box 543, Halfway, OR

EDITORIAL

The federal government, it turns out, isn't quite the inflexible monolith it's often purported to be. Last week the U.S. Forest Service decided to give the public an extra 60 days to comment on the draR version of new forest management plans for the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur national forests. This was a welcome concession. Although mandatory seems to us the more appropriate adjective, considering the various documents the Forest Service released to the public in March

exceed 1,000 pages. And this is not light reading, in the figurative or the literal sense. Ninety days, the standard public comment period, was woefully insuKcient. Now that the feds have acceded to the public's request for more time, we encourage residents to make good use of the extra two months. Specifically, we hope people who have an interest in the matter — a group which ought to include anyone who ever visits one of these three national forests — to gain at least a passing familiarity with the documents and then send in comments. There's no guarantee, of course, that anyone's ideas will be adopted wholesale into the final version of the forest plans. But that doesn't mean your opinions and ideas aren't important, or that they don't have the potentialto make sure the needs oflocalresidents— those who not only use but in some case rely on these public forests — are taken into consideration. Public sentiment, aker all, got us all 60 more days to try to absorb a massive amount of information. Now we just need to use that time to help create a management plan that will benefit our communities, and our forests, for the next couple of decades.

Saluting Lynette Perry, the Herald's own Easter Bunny Saturday marked the 20th-annual Baker City Herald Easter Egg Hunt. It's an event that draws hundreds of local children each year to gather free eggs and toys in Geiser-Pollman Park. But it almost disappearedin

KARI BORG EN

1995.

That year ~, the Baker City Jaycees, who had been the organizer of the annual event, disbanded. It looked as though the Easter Egg Hunt would not go on, for lack of a sponsor. But Lynette Perry, the Baker City Herald's advertising manager, couldn't stand the thought of an Easter in Baker City without a community Easter Egg Hunt. She decided that with the help of the community and some promotion from the Herald that she would organize the event. The April 17, 1995, Baker City Herald pages celebrate the success of the event with pictures and thank you messages to sponsors and volunteers from the community. And so the stage was set for the event for the next 19 years. Lynette has very nearly single-handedly organized the event ever since. She has had a great deal ofhelp with donations from the community, including generous businesses, service groups and from volunteers who have stuffed eggs, cleaned up the park and herded stampedes of egg-hunters. The Baker City Herald, of course, has supported the effort as well. But mostly the credit for the Baker City Community Easter Egg Hunt each year goes to Lynette. On this, the Monday after the 20th Baker City Herald Easter Egg Hunt, I'd like to recognize the sponsors, donors, service groups and volunteers who work to make the event so successful for our children every year. But I would particularly like to thank Lynette for rescuing and continuing to organize the Easter Egg Hunt. Thank you, Easter Bunny. Kari Borgen is the publisher of the Baker City Herald.

Your views I've worked with Warner, and I'm voting for him I am writing in support of Fred Warner for Baker County Commission chair. I have had the opportunity to work with Fred in a variety ofcapacities,as an employer, a fellow elected offrcial, and like all citizens of Baker County, as our highest elected county administrator. As an employer he leads by example, tirelessly working for the benefit of the community and encouraging other county employees to do the same. He works with an eye toward doing things right the first time, saving time and taxpayers money. And showing those around him what it means to be a"public servant." As an elected offrcial, I've seen Fred Warner take a lead role in communication with state and federal officials to improve and protectthe lifestyle we appreciate in Baker County. His leadership helped to keep Anthony Lakes Ski Area open, saving jobs and bringing tourist dollars to our community. He has worked with the city of Baker City to consolidate duplicated services, savingtaxpayer dollarsand improving effrciency. In his leadership he has not sought to gain recognition for such achievements, but is always working forthe bestresult. And lastly, as our county commission chairIappreciate Fred for hisopen, forthright approach to governing. In my experience, he has always been responsive to citizen questions. He and his staff are forthcoming with information about our county government, which is exactlywhat votersdeserve. Above all, I know that Fred is committed and experienced and always looking to better the future of our county. I am gladtobevoting for Fred Warner for County Commission chair. Kim Mosier Baker City

Vote for Harvey to bring fiscal responsibility Fred Warner stated at the Republican forum the other night that under his watch the county has a one million dollar surplus. WHY? Government is NOT supposed to profit from the taxpayers. Governm ent is supposed to break even tobalance. Even with a contingency line item for emergencies. What's next? Another bonus for county employees or elected offrcials? Surplus county dollars should go back to the taxpayers. This is not something to brag about Mr. Warner. A voteforBillHarvey isa vote for fiscal responsibility.

Baker County needs new energy; vote for Bill Har vey This past January the Baker County Commissioners held a work session on BLM's sage grouse proposal. During the discussion Commissioner Warner said,'We don't have the power to kick the feds out. We have to work within the system and co-exist." It seems like Warner has no fight left in him to defendBaker County.We need someone who will at least try to defend what is left of our freedoms. I sure don't want to see a Nevada-Bundy Ranch situation happen in Baker County over apublic lands issue.

Re-elect Warner, keep county headed in right direction

Fred Warner Jr.is mychoice for Baker County Commission Chairman for the followingreasons: Everyone talks about tough economic times the pastfew years, yet Thomas Jefferson said,'When Baker Countyhas paid the bills and stayed financially sound.Additionally, we have Government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the maintained government services as needed, government there is tyranny." It is time withoutincreasing taxes.

Fred has steadilynegotiated with the Shawn Overbay public land management agencies to Baker City enhance public use and limit fees on public lands. Fred submitted several documents Warner has track record on public landissues.

leadership in running county

I have been very impressed with how BakerCounty ism anaged.We read about strife in the school board and conflict with city government, but our county seems to run smoothly and within budget. I have been very involved with the county zoning ordinance, especially the transportation standards ordinance, involving driveway standards for new and remodeled homes in the county. This was a long process with many public meetings and vastly differing opinions. Mr. Warner did a very good job ofbringing the parties to a workable solution. Watching him calm the atmosphere while keeping everyonefocusedgave me insightasto why the countyruns so effectively. Four years ago the owners of the Anthony Lakes ski area offered to donate theareato Baker County.Union County was offered first but chose not to accept. Mr. Warner had many public meetings to gauge community support, and meetings with other ski area owners to determine ifAnthony Lakes could operate at a profit. It was a very tough decision because Anthony Lakes was approaching 50 years of operation, was an integral part of our Baker County lifestyle but

had been losing $150,000per year for several years. The county accepted the area and Fred named a two-women and three-man board to oversee management. His directive:"Run it like a business. The county will not subsidize Anthony Lakes. It has to be self-supportive." This was my first time working with Fred. He attended every meeting to make sure that the county's best interests were served, but he allowed the board to make all decisions. Anthony has run at a profit every year since. It adds $300,000 a year in wages, fills over 800 hotel rooms and puts 150 school kids on the mountain every Friday for two months. All of this happens in the winter when dollars are hard to come byin Baker County. If Fred would not have said yes, the owners were going to sell the assets ofF

Harvey will fight to keep our public lands open I like Fred Warner Jr., he is a nice, fiiendlyguy, but as the chair ofour County Commissioners there are several issues in which I feel he has worked against the voters of this county. The firstinstance was Move Idaho Power. We had goodorganization and a lot ofpublic support and I feel we could have m ovedIdahoPower outofBakerCounty had we had the supportofour commissioners. However, at the second meeting,it became apparent to me that though Fred said he was for theranchers and wanted to preserve the scenicbeauty andlivabilityof our county, whathereallywanted was the money Idaho Power would pay the county. Livabilitysold out for moneyin the county coffers. The secondissue was the windfanns. In this case our countycommissioners delayed any action, forcing the court to decide and thus robbing those ofus who opposed wind fanns anyright of appeal. Itwas a calculated political move and speaking ofcalculated political moves: Whydid Fred changed his political party? Although he has aright to change parlies, he certainlyhasn't changed his political views and aliberal by anyother nameis still a liberal. I plan to vote for Bill Harvey. He has had experience with countygovernment serving on the planningcommission.As abusinessman Bill will work to bringeconomic growlh and jobs to our community. I know he cares aboutlivability and will work to preserve the beautyofour county and he will fight to keep our public lands open for us to enjoy.Another thingI appreciate about Bill Harveyis thatheis straight up withyou. He won't tell you one thing because he thinks that's whatyou want to hear, and thendotheopposite.You know where Bill stands. Bill Harveyis a good conservative choice for County Commissioner chair.

STATE BRIEFING Crater Lake's annual snowfall declining SALEM iAPl — You wouldn't know it from appearances, but Oregon's only national park has been losing snow. Crater Lake National Park averaged 460 inches of snow each year between 2000 and 2013. Though that's plenty of powder for the thousands of cross-country skiers and snowshoers who visit each year, it's much less than what the park got in the 1930s and 1940s — when the annual average was more than 600 inches. 'The really surprising thing was seeing how much snow used to fall here in the 1930s and '40s," Crater Lake park ranger Dave Grimes told the Statesman Journal newspaper4ttp://is.gd/Ofvrlh l."Ithasbeen a very gradual decline, but when you look at the numbers, it's something that definitely sticks out." The trend is important because snow, for a variety of reasons, is the lifeblood of the southern Oregon park, Grimes said. 'The first of which is that it provides water for Crater Lake itself," Grimes said."One of the reasons it's consideredthecleanest and clearestlakein theworld isthatit's mostly pure snowmelt." The snowmelt also provides drinking water at the park, and seasonal water to the Rogue and Klamath basins for irrigation, fish, plants and wildlife. Grimes also noted that animals like voles and the snowshoe hare depend on snow for survival. "Rain is just not as valuable as snow because it just runs off right away and it's gone," Grimes said."I think a lot of the really heavy rain we get in spring and fall used tofallassnow."

• No GOP candidate has won a statewide race since 2002, but Obamacare could be key issue By Jonathan J. Cooper Assoaated Press

LAKE OSWEGO — The GOP is making a bold play for a U.S. Senate seatin reliably Democratic Oregon, where a Republican hasn't been elected to a statewide office in more than a decade. Republicans backin Washington think they've found the right candidate in Monica Wehby, a children's brain surgeon who's raised more than $1 million and put her early opposition to President Barack Obama's health care law at the center ofher campaign. The race is shaping up to be a strong test of the GOP strategy of relentlessly using the health law against Democrats in hopes of regaining control of the Senate. The rollout of the law in Oregon has been worse than in most other states, and Republicansare hoping a doctorhas the credibility to capitalize on the resulting voter discontent. "Doctors are trained differently,"Wehby said in a recent candidate forum at a Republican women's club in Lake Oswego, a well-to-do Portland suburb.'We know how to look at things logically, notideologically, and we also know how to work with other people." Ballots go out April 30 in the state's all-mail primary and mustbereturned by May 20, when they will be counted and results announced. Wehby faces four other Republicans, most notably state Rep. Jason Conger of Bend, a lawyer who's promoting his conservativecredentialsand

hisexperiencerepresenting a district that, like the state as a whole, favors Democrats. The Republican nominee will face long odds against the incumbent, Democrat Jeff Merkley, who's in his first term. Merkley used Obama's coattails to slip past GOP Sen. Gordon Smith in 2008. Eight months before the November general election, Merkley rates as the favorite, based on the Democrats' 8-point edge in voter registration and the GOPs longstanding weakness in statewide elections. If Republicans can put the seatinto play,it would boost their efforts to reclaim the Senate. They need a net gain of six seats to hold a majority. "I want someone that I feel has enough support to have a realistic opportunity of winning," said Marge Mares, 70, a Republican from Portland. "It would be wonderful if the Republicans can take back the Senate." Mares, who owns a steel business with her husband, said the health law is her "number one concern." No Republican has won a statewide race in Oregon since Smith was re-elected in 2002. In 36 statewide partisan electi ons overthe pasttwo decades, said Portland pollster Tim Hibbitts, Republicans have won just three, and none ofthe last19. But Merkley does have some obstacle sto overcome. It's a midterm election, which often means lower Democratic turnout.

Also, Wehby, in particular, could attract a lot of money from deep-pocketed donors. Empowered by U.S. Supreme Courtdecisions,out-of-state donors have been putting money into campaigns in Oregon, a small state where contributors believe their money will have more impact. Merkley's prospects are linked to voter attitudes toward Obama, Hibbitts said. ''What Obama's approval is in Oregon on Election Dayis more important to me right now,fi 'ankly,than anythmg Merkley has or hasn't done." Wehby, 51, has kept her eye on the general election, taking moderate positions on social issues that are in line with a majority of Oregon voters and betting that her advantage in campaign cash can get her through the primary. She supports same-sex marriage and says the federal government shouldn't be involved in abortion, although she says she's personally opposed. Wehby insists she's concerned about more than just "Obamacare." She says the health law is an example of an overreaching federal government"that is encroaching on everyaspectofourlives."But the issue is at the heart ofher pitch to voters. "It's not brain surgery," she says, dressed in surgical scrubsfora television ad that aired last week."Obamacare is bad for Oregon."The ad never mentions she's a Republican. Wehby appeared in television ads opposing the law in

She calls for repealing the Affordable Care Act and enacting something else, a common theme among Republican office-seekers. She said she doesn't think"we can go back to the way things were before." Conger, 45, is running to Wehby's right. He says her standson socialissuesare out of step with the Republican Party, and pitches his own experience winning elections in a Democratic district. "I've won by really significant margins," Conger said in an interview."And the only way that could happen is, I've demonstrated the ability to reach out to voters who are not already convinced, not already Republican, and persuade them that I will do a better job. I think that's important for the Republican nominee." Conger's life story is a rich political narrative. From a hardscrabble childhood in California — "I still remember what it's like to live in a trailer park," he says — he managed to put himself through Harvard Law

Prisons encourage families to visit inmates PORTLAND iAPl — When they read a study that suggested inmates who were visited by their families while in prison were significantly less likely to return to prison, officials in the Oregon Department of Corrections crunched their numbers and found about 60 percent of the state's inmatesnever received avisitor. That led to a push that began two years ago to increase the number of visitors, including putting video conferencing stati ons atm ostprisons. There's no data yet on recidivism, but the number of inmates who get visits now stands at 60 percent, The Oregonian ihttp//bit.ly/1nsGrecl reports. The 2011 study, which came from the Minnesota Department of Corrections, concluded"visitation significantlydecreased therisk ofrecidivism." Oregon Corrections officials are now surveying a large segment of the 14,000 prisoners about what might help in the transition to life outside the prison. Corrections officials have also considered setting up prisoners with trained volunteer mentors and relaxing visitation rules for inmates who are in disciplinary housing units.

Smith said Custer threw 25 first-pitch strikes in the game. Not to be outdone, Gulick threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of the 17 hitters he faced in Game 2. "He kept his pitch count down, and threw only 68 pitches, 47 for strikes," Smith sald. Gulick also struck out 10 Pioneers while throwing a five inning one-hitter. Baker fell behind 2-0 in the first inning of the opener, but answered with four runs on four straight hits in the bottom of the frame. Then, leading 4-3 in the third, Baker scored five unanswered runs to break the game open. Keaton Bachman led Baker's offense with three hits, including a pair of doubles, and two RBIs.

Hawksrollnastlndiana,take1-Olead By Michael Marot AP Sportsm(rtter

INDIANAPOLIS — Atlanta's Jeff Teague demolished the Pacers' grand

playofFplan. As his teammates set up around the 3-point line, Teague simply blew through open lanes to the basket repeatedly. The Pacers didn't have an answer. Teague scored a playofFcareer-high 28 points, Paul Millsap added 25 and the eighth-seeded Hawks won their first road playofF game in three years,

shockingtop-seeded Indiana 101-93 to take a 1-0 lead in the first-round series. "I just wanted to win," the Indianapolis native said after beating his hometown team. Perhaps that's why Teague finally cracked a hesitant smile in the locker room before stepping to the podium. Or it could be that Teague remembers the frustration Indiana caused when it clinched last year's 4-2 firstround win on Atlanta's home court. As one of the few remaining links to that team, Teague wasn't about to let some-

thing like that happen again. This time, surrounded by a mostly new group of 3-point shooters, a firstyear coach and a game plan that the Pacers never adapted to, Teague kept gettingto basket. He wound up 9 of 19 from the field and 9 of 10 from the free-throw line with five assists and three rebounds on a night the Hawks snapped an eight-game road losing streak in the playoffs and became the first team to beat Indiana on its home court twice this season.

HOUSTON — LaMarcus Aldridge had just fouled out late in overtime after scoring a career-high and franchise playofF-record 46 points when he went to Portland teammate Damian Lillard with a simplemessage. "I said Take it over,"'

Beverley re-injured his right knee on the play where Aldridge fouled out and McHale said the Rockets wouldknow more about the guard's status after an MRI exam on Monday. Beverley missed eight games late in the season because of a torn meniscus in that knee. A dunk by Robin Lopez gave Portland a 116-114 lead beforehe fouled outseconds later. Howard made both free throws to tie it. Houston scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter, with the first four from Howard, to make it 86-73.

Howard missed fourstraight freethrows as Portland cut the deficit. A 3-pointer by Lillard had tied it at 104-all before Harden put Houston up with two free throws.

"The guys continue to improve with every match," he said. In girls play, the Baker doubles team of Hannah Wilson and Lena Bowers placed second, advancing to the title match before losing their first match. In singles play, Grace Huggins advanced to the semifinals before falling. She then won the thirdplace match. "I thought the girls played real well.

Spurs to Maveric SAN ANTONIO (AP)The Spurs rode the wide shoulders of Tim Duncan to victory. The Mavericks were not going to let San Antonio beat them with 3-pointers, and they did not want Tony Parker using the lane as his personal playground. So the veteran Duncan overcame a brief injury scare to score 27 points. The Spurs held Dallas to one field goal in the final seven minutes to rally for a 90-85 win Sundayin Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. The Mavericks also went scoreless for 51/2 minutes during that stretch, their lone field goal coming with less than a second remainmg.

The Importance Of Pollinators

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

However

you enjoy Easter, it is

a day for celebration Sunday a week ago was Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter. It was commemorated in Christian churches as the day Jesus entered into Jerusalem and palm branches were strewn before him in elco e. ...Easter punday, The following Friday was meaning so many

called Good

things to so many Friday and we people for so may question many reasons. the use of the word "good" because it commemorates Jesus' crucifixion on the cross. A black day to Christians. Life is so very strange as we sense the happiness of welcoming a loved one into one's community. How quickly it can change. When you think things will stay wonderfully well, they don't. When you think things can't get worse, they do. W hen you think you can'tbearany more, you can and do. When life looks hopeless, it isn't. When you look back, it appears not tohave been as bad as itseemed even though it was.

Why? I think it may have been because there was always an unseen hand at work to give one the boost when and where needed. We can bear more than we imagine. Then comes the next Sunday known as Easter Sunday, meaning so many things to so many people for so many reasons. Yesterday was Easter Sunday in the U.S. Today is Easter Monday in Canada. The common words of Easter have to do with the "name of pagan vernal festival almost coincident in date with paschal festival of the church; an annual Christian festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus." Then there is Easter Island, an island in the South Pacific, discovered on Easter Sunday in 1722. For many it calls into play the Easter Rabbit, the Easter egg, the Easter lily, the approaching arrival of spring, the wearing of new clothing, attendance at church services. In different ways it is a day of celebration. May each of you have enjoyed Easter Sunday in your own way, with joy. May the pleasures of the coming spring and summer be yours.

Honeybees enjoying a sunflower last summer. The sunflower was grown from seed, sown directly into the ground.

By Jennie Hagen ForThe Observerand the Baker City Herald

I'vebeen asked to dedicate an entire, and extensive, column on the beloved honeybee. Known as the pollinator of the skies, honeybees are diligent and gentle workers who assist us with the monumental task offeeding the human population. Oh sure, there are literally thousands ofdifferent bee species and all of them do a dandy job of spreading pollen and thus helping plants become fertilized and set seed.

Some are better at this than others and many are barely discernible as they travelfrom flower to flower. But all of them are necessary and should be regarded asallies,notmere "insects" to annoy us. The reader who made the request is a professional in the agricultural field and had been approached by someone who wanted to remain anonymous but also wanted some advice. Several years ago this individual had sprayed his fruit trees, while in bloom, and discovered the next morning literall y thousands ofbees dead

on the ground. "Is there a quick fix for this" she asked me, "and can you writeabout it?" After suggesting both of them do research at the Oregon State University Extension website she replied, "Ihave,butthere's too much information and you get lost looking at all the links." In our era of the "information highway," electronic knowledge is abundant and, as she found out, nearly impossible to navigate for a"quick fix." With all the information currently available on the plight and demise of the honeybee, I

wondered how could I possibly contribute anything that hadn't already been written. But there is one thing that I seem to be overly endowed with, and that is common sense. What makes sense to me isn't necessarily what is right. But perhaps that's one reason why I have successfully gardened in places I was advised it wouldn't be possible. So here is my common sense approach to helping the honeybee and all otherpollinators survive,and in fact thrive, in your garden. SeeBeeslPage 2B

Hammingitus: Making themostof Easter'sleftovers By Lee Svitak Dean Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

I'm practical and hungry, a duo that makes leftovers the best part of any holiday meal. That's as true for the Easter ham as with any other platter ofprotein atafam ily gathering. But before the leftovers,of course, comes the ham in all its glory, tender slices gleaming as it's served on what we hope will be a warm, sunny

day. For years, my single oven was stuffed with the foods of the holiday as I tried to make all the dishes of dinner finish at the same time, sometimes "borrowing" the oven of a neighbor who was out of town to allow for more space. Then I discovered a mighty secret that has changed my ham prepforever:Icook it in the slow cooker, which frees up the oven for the egg dishes, roasted asparagus or whatever else grabs my fancy as cook. It's an embarrassingly easy way to cook the main course for a family gathering. First I sprinkle brown sugar in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker. Then I add a half ham, up to 10 pounds in size, which sometimes requires a bit of cutting to fit it comfortably into the appliance — no squeezing allowed (food in there needs space). More brown sugar lands on top of the ham before the slow cooker is covered and switched to "on." Three hours later — or six to eight, depending on the temperature — and the meal is ready while the oven is free

I am not going to say that no one should ever use chemical fertilizers and herbicidal or insecticidal sprays. I would like to, but that would probably cause about half of you to stop reading this column. "She's fanatical" — I can just hear it now. But I guess I am in one way. I'm fanatical about life and living and treating all living creatures and plants as close associates and here for a reason. Yes, I swat mosquitoes and will continue to doso.Ilove our colder, bone-chilling winters as they, hopefully, keep Africanized killer bees away. And yes, I even love the wind as it keeps us, mostly, fog-fiee. First, try to goas"green" as you can. There are many commercial, and effective, products that successfully keep ants from storming

(The liquid will reduce by about half ifyou simmer it for 2 hours.) Remove the soup pot from the heat and carefully strain the solid ingredients, discarding them. Refrigerate the stock to cool.

BROWNSUGAR HAM Servings vary. Brown sugar (for an 8-pound ham, use about 2 cups) Ham (chunk or slices)

In a slow cooker or skillet, sprinkle half the brown sugar Place ham, flat side down, on sugar and sprinkle remaining brown sugar on top. In a slowcooker, heat on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for about 3 hours. In a skillet, cook until meat is thoroughly heated through and sugar has melted and caramelized on meat.

by Stella Wilder TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2014 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you are never one to do something the same way twice if you can help it. This quirk in your nature is sure to lead you down many unusual paths in life and enable you to learn a great deal that would otherwise remain unknown. You aren't the kind to do what you are told - at least not without complaining about it! You will do all you can, like so many Taurus natives, to assert your individuality in all situations, whether significant or trivial. Indeed, the most important thing to you, no matter what may be happening, is thatyou areableto beyourself.Somemaynot respond well to this, but that is not your concern; what matters to you most is complete honesty - of character, if not of utterance!

WASHINGTON — Hundreds ofinterstate highway fatalities have been prevented in multiple states byrelatively inexpensive safety devices that were not in placeatthe site of a fiery bus-truck collisionin Orland that killed 10 people. While interstates ate statistically the country's safest roadways, they're also vulnerable to one of the deadliest kinds ofcrashes, where one vehide cmsses the median at a high speed and strikes another traveling the opposite duection. At a time when states are pinching their transportation pennies, the installation of steelcablemedian barriers has helpedstatesim prove highway safety without a lot of investment. "It's very effectiveat capturing the vehicle," said John Miller, a traiftc safety engineer with the Missouri Department of Transportation. 4W e've seen a lotof great benefit from it." On April 10, a FedEx double-trailer truck crossed fiom the southbound to the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 in Orland, slamminginto a motor coach that was taking a group of Los Angeles-area high school students on a visit to Humboldt State University. The drivers of the two vehicles, five students and threechaperones were killed. Some victims were thrown &om the bus, while others died in the ensuing fire. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. M ore than 300 fatalcross-

median crashes happened on interstate highways in 2012, according to data &om the National Highway Traiftc Safety Administration. Despite improved highway safety in states that have installed barriers along rural interstatesin recentyears,the federal government doesn't require them in the medians of divided highways. Missouri and North Carolina, which haveinstalled thebarrierson parts or all of their interstate highways, have seen crossmedian fatalities cut by as much as 90 percent. Others, such as Kentucky, are in the process of installing more.

The left shoulders of the California roadway also are equipped with rumble strips, grooves in the pavement that warn drivers when they starttoveer offtheroadway because of distraction or drowsiness. The Federal Highway Administration recommends rumble strips on the left and right shoulders of divided highways, citing a study that showed vehicles were just as likely to veer left 'The widespread deployofftheroad asright. m ent of cablebarrierin recent The California Department of Transportation said years has, in my opinion, saved many lives in our coun- last week's crash site didn't try," said John Njord, who meet its requirements for installing median barriers, was Utah's transportation which include frequency of secretary fiom 2001 to 2012.
