TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 23, 1964 Five teachers from the Eagle Valley high school at Richland and the Richland elementary school have resigned, it was confirmed today. The resignations came during a controversy over the school board's building proposal that resulted earlier this month in a petition for the recall of board member David Densely of Richland. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 24, 1989 "A too heavy reliance on property taxes and inequity between voters of various school districts caused Oregon's school finance rebellion," Alex Byler told the Baker County Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon Friday. Byler is a Pendleton attorney, a longtime school board member, and was a member of the Commission to Study Educational Reform, from which came a major measure to face voters on May16. He appeared Friday to explain House Joint Resolution No. 1, which puts before voters a plan to alter the basic taxing structure of school districts. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 23, 2004 Baker City's traditional Little League parade will span a single parking lot instead of half the city this Saturday. The event, which marks the start of the Little League baseball and softball season, usually starts at GeiserPollman Park. From there the 600 or so players, clad in their jerseys and clutching their mitts, would stride south along Main Street and Dewey Avenue, then east on Myrtle Street to Wade Williams Elks Memorial Park. But this Saturday, the event will start and finish at Wade Williams. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 26, 2013 Mark Bennett saidThursday that he would resign from county employment if appointed to the Baker County Board of Commissioners. He is one of nine people vying for the open seat on the Baker County Board of Commissioners. The other hopefuls are Roger Coles, Chris Dunn, Dick Fleming, Bill Harvey, Jeff Nelson, Jeff Petry, Terry Schumacher andTom Van Diepen. Carl Stiff resigned from the commission because of health problems.

The Langrells contend that the city had no legal authority to continue charging them double the normal water and sewer rates for theirmotel afterthe property was annexed into the city in 2005. City ofFIcials, though, point to City Council meeting minutes and other recordsthat indicate the Langrells agreed to continue paying the higher rates after annexation in exchange for a 10-year exemption to paying city property taxes. The Langrells have not paidproperty taxes to the city since their motel was annexed.

tered." City officials assert that in 2005 Langrell conceded to pay double water and sewer fees in exchange for a 10-year property tax waiver on his property after it was annexed into the city. Under citycode,a business outside the city limits that is connectedto the city'sw ater and sewer systems pays double the normal rates. Typically, once a property is annexed into the city limits, the property owner no longer pays double water and sewer rates but must begin paying property taxes to the city. The city believes it had a deal with the Langrells. But Richard Langrell assertsno provision exists in writing that requires him to continue to pay double sewer andwater ratesafter his business was annexed. The annexation agree-

ment that he and his wife signed in 2005 does not mention the couple continuing to pay double water and sewer rates. City ofFIcials, though, said there are a host of documents that show Langrell not only understood he was to pay double water and sewer rates after annexation but in fact asked the city for the terms. Langrell said in an interview earlier this month that the issue is simple.

"They ithe city) say they don't owe me money. Well they do," he said.

EDITORIAL

iremare, S en In most businesses and government agencies, employees' salaries and benefits are the biggest part of the budget, so it follows logically that the more workers employed the greater the cost. Not necessarily. If an organization has so few workers that those on the payroll have to work a lot of extra hours, the attempt to run a lean operation can backfire and lead to

corpulent overtime bills. In some cases an outfit might save money byhiring a new employee and severely curtailing overtime. Baker City isn't quite in that predicament, but in the fire department it's pretty close. The department, whose employees also staf the city's ambulances (they actually spend more time on ambulance

calls than on dousing fires), is one person short of its optimum sta5ng. That means the department frequently has to call in oA'-duty firefighter/paramedics when there are multiple simultaneous fire or ambulance calls. Over the past three fiscal years the fire

department averaged$50,000 in overtime per year. In the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, the overtime tab totaled

''We can support the energy and spirit of the"Occupy" Movement for economic and social justice, and the Contract for the American Dream cobbled together by the"Rebuild the Dream" coalition headed by Van Jones." ''We can support President Obama and other leaders in achieving some measure of economic justice" Are these the same values of Fred Warner? Is that why Fred listened to McComb and Dielman and watered down the GOP Second Amendment resolution to protect only hunting rifles? Is that why McComb distributed yardsigns and registration forms in my neighborhood? Why does the BakerCounty Democrat Chairman support Fred Warner? Could it be they both endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2008, or they both support Democrat Senator Ron Wyden? Could it be that Fred Warner was a registered Democrat last year and now a Republican? Is McComb going to join with the already 150-plus Democrats in Baker in temporarilyregistering to Republican? Remember when you get your ballot who is trying to hijack this"Republican" primary and who they are supporting. Send a message to the Democrat Chair: Vote Against Fred Warner.

Commission that is. At the national and state levels we, the people, have learnedthat top positionsofauthorityshould notbe"professionalized." We have wisely, therefore, limited the number of terms that an official can serve consecutivelyin these important positions to two, for instance president of the United States and governor of Oregon. Mr. Warner has now had three terms and is running for his fourth. Winning this election would certainly qualify Mr. Warner as a professional politician. It is fortunate that we have a man with outstanding qualifications who is a willing replacement to give Mr. Warner a well-deserved rest. Bill H arveyis asuccessfulprofessional contractor who is a long-term resident of Baker County and has served on many official public assignments. His willingness to set a successful business aside for the benefit of our communityis a true measure of Mr. Harvey's sincerity. Mr. Harvey is well versed on both the U.S. Constitution and the Oregon Constitution and understands that they are the basis forgovernmentaldecisions. In a business situation, and this trulyis, the voting public would serve as the board ofdirectorsand the commission candidates as potential company president. Competent members of the board would search for a president they believe would best serve the company under the current circumstances. Personal friendships, family ties, party affiliations etc. would not compete with company success in the selection process. If we voters will follow this simple procedure we will serve our county well now and in the future. Jasper Coombes Haines

BAKER CITY HERALD — 5A

6 in GOP hogeto challenge KitihalIer By Hillary Borrud WesCom News Service

Aftera seriesofhighprofil eproblems during Gov. John Kitzhaber's third term, the Oregon governor's race w ould appear ripe forchallengers. The failed launch of Oregon's online health insurance marketplace drew national attention, and Kitzhaber was unable to convince state lawmakers to proceed with the Columbia River Crossing project. Yet none of this was enough fodder to draw a serious Democratic challenger into the governor's race, and political analyst Bill Lunch said the Republican frontrunner, state Rep. Dennis Richardson, will find it difficult to win in the increasingly Democratic suburbs outsidePortland because of hisconservativepositions on social issues. Six Republican candidates will face off in the May 20 primary election, while the only Democratic candidate who filed to challenge Kitzhaberdoes notappear to be actively campaigning.

Lunch, a retired Oregon State University professor who regularly provides political analysis for Oregon Public Broadcasting, said in an interview last week that health care reform and the governor's other policy priorities are still popular enough with Democratic voters in Oregon that they are not much of a liability for Kitzhaber. "The issues that might be problematic for the governor are not ones that have a lot of resonance with the kind of voters on the Democratic side," Lunch said."The Republicans have a kind ofstructural problem right now, which is their appeal to rural constituencies, which is substantial ,probably covers at the very most a third of the state's population. What has happened in the last 10 to 12 years is the suburbs have swung more to the Democrats." The higher concentration of voters and political power in the state's liberal metro areas is exactly what frustrates many Republican gubernatorial candidates,

who say they want more local controloftheirproperty and tax dollars. Kitzhaber is a well-known advocateforhealth care innovation, and the state got an early start building its own online health insurance marketplace. But six months after the insurance exchange was supposedtogo live,Oregon is the only state in the nation where residents still cannot sign themselves up for health coveragein one sitting. The state has paid the primary technology contrac-

tor,Oracle Corp.,$134 million in federal money and is withholding $26 million from the company, while Cover Oregon's board decides how to proceed with the website. Board members are deciding whether to fix the existing w ebsite orgo to thefederal insurance exchange. For his part, Kitzhaber, a former emergency room physician, said his takeaway from the experience is that he is agood doctor,"butI don't know a whole lot about building websites." The governor defended the

over arching goal ofhealth care reform."The buck stops here on the management problem," Kitzhaber said. "But at the end of the day, the website is a means to an end, not an end in itself." That's not the only problem Kitzhaber faces. Republicansalso say the governor wasted money on the defunct Columbia River Crossing project, the planned new Interstate 5 and lightrail bridge in which Oregon and Washington jointly invested more than $180 million. The Oregon Department of Transportation shut down planning for the project in March, after state lawmakers declined to pay for construction. Kitzhaber said the state's investment in the project was not wasted becausethe state willarchive all of the planning documents for later use. "It is the weak link in our transportation between Canada and Mexico," Kitzhaber said of the existing I-5

KLAMATH FALLS iAPl — Ranchers in south-central Oregon have legally killed a nearly 500-pound black bear after one of their heifers was killed by a bear and the giant animal was found in the family's cattle herd. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist Craig Foster says Marie Leehmann went beyond legal requirements by obtaining a kill permit before a family member shot the bear. The Herald and News reports ihttp J/is.gd/BORFOg l that field biologists say the male bear weighed 490 pounds,stood 6-foot-5 and was 13 to 15 yearsold.Foster said the largest bear he had previously seen weighed 345 pounds. The kill permit was issued after it was determined that one of the Leehmanns' yearling heifers had been killed by a bear. Two days later, on April 4, Leehmann was checking the cows when a bear ran out of the herd. Her son, Ryon, shot the bear within a quarter-mile of their home. Foster says ranchers are legally allowed to kill bears that attack cattle.

A Whole Lot Of Snow

By Chad Garland The Associated Press

SALEM — Medical marijuana cardholders in some parts of Oregon will have to look harder than they expected for dispensaries as cities and counties throughout the state enact ordinances to keep the pot shops from opening within their borders. A total of 13 Oregon counties and more than 100 towns and cities have passed moratoriums banning the pot shops since a law allowing the dispensaries took effect March 1. More than 30 other local governments are considering similar measures. The state's dispensary law was intended to move dispensaries out of a legal gray area. But after a number of communities voiced a desire to keep dispensaries out locally, the Legislature in early March passed a law that would give them until May to adopt moratoriums of up to a year. The bill took effect days after Oregon had already begun accepting applications from dispensaries seeking state approvaloftheiroperations.

An Oregon Department ofTransportation snowblower clears snow Monday from McKenzie Pass on state Highway 242 near DeeWright Observatory at the summit of the pass. Peter Murphy of ODOT says the scenic highway,which crosses the Cascade Mountains about 15 miles west of Sisters, will be "open to motor vehicles not before June 16." Right nowthe roadway is open to foot and nonmotorized vehicle traffic. The McKenzie Pass was one of the earlier motor roads built across the Cascades but it is closed by snow for more than half the year because it's too difficult to keep the narrow, curving road clear of snow, and because Highway 20 over the Santiam Pass, about15 miles north, remains open year-round.

Miners balk at proposed water rules MEDFORD iAPl — Gold miners are not happy with proposedwater quality rulesrelated to elevated mercury levels in the Rogue River. The Mail Tribune 4ttp://bit.ly/PqVqcwl reports miners at a hearing Monday in Medford said they are being blamed for a problem that is not their fault. Miners added that the suction dredges they use to filter gold from gravel on river bottoms also pick up mercury and remove it. A toxin, mercury is found in nearly all fish, but tests on resident northern pike minnow in the Rogue found levels 10 times higher than state standards. The source is not certain, but could be the soils or old mines. The state ison track tolist216 milesofthe Rogue as mercury-impaired, leading to more stringent and expensive permitting for miners.

The woman escaped by jumping fiom the moving vehicle. She suffered a fractured skull and other injuries. When investigators examined Swoboda's van after the March shooting, they discovered chains mounted to the floor in back and items used to tie a person, including

ropes and zip ties. The woman who escaped had not noticed such items, leading a prosecutor to ask whether Swoboda had later converted the van intoa"moveable dungeon." "I'm thinking exactly that one victim got away, and he wasn't going to let the next one get away," said Detective Mary Nunn of the Clackamas County Sheriff's OffIce, accordingto thetranscript."Our discussion at my office is that he was coming up with a better way to restrain somebody in his vehicle."

A prosecutor asked Kammerer what all of it meant. "He's making notes on people that he finds — I don't want to use the word attractive — people he's interested

Investigators also said they recovered pornographic magazines and DVDs fiom the van that featured teenage girls and young women. The transcript runs more than 300 pages, and much of itdescribes the sequence of events leading to the shootout between Swoboda and OffIcer John Romero. Swoboda was shot three times and died at the scene. Romero, a school resource officer at Wilson High, took a bullet to the hand.

WesCom News Service interviewed seven candidates about why they are running for governor. Here are their responses.

DEMOCRATS JOHN KITZHABER Kitzhaber, 67, said he is asking voters for a fourth term because he wants to continue working on Oregon's economic recovery. "I ran in 2010 because I felt that embedded in this recession was an opportunity for some real transformational change," Kitzhaber said. Four years later, "There are parts of rural Oregon that continue to suffer from double-digit unemployment, and a lot of the jobs we've created have been at the bottom or top of the income ladder." Kitzhaber said the economy continues to be the most important issue in this election, and he created Regional Solutions Centers to identify local economic development opportunities across the state. The regional advisory committee in Central Oregon identified as its top priority the expansion of Oregon State University-Cascades Campus, and university officials say the first phase of the campus will open to students in fall 2015. Kitzhaber said the new campus will help more Oregonians obtain the skills necessary to obtain good jobs. Ifeanyichukwu Diru, the only Democratic candidate who filed to challenge Kitzhaber, does not appear to be actively campaigning and did not respond to repeated attempts to contact him.

REPUBLICANS TIM CARR Carr, 56, said he decided to run for governor because no other Republicans from the Portland metro area had jumped into the race, and he believes a moderate Republican from this area would be the strongest candidate to challenge Kitzhaber. Carr said that with ongoing problems at Cover Oregon, "This is the one time I think Kitzhaber couldgo down....Hecould do anything wrong, and no one seems to care." Carr said his top priority as governor would be to reform Oregon's public pension system, and the only way to achieve this would be to start by moving the governor and his or her staff, plus all lawmakers and the Oregon Supreme Court, onto a 401(k) retirement system. The governor, lawmakers and judges currently have a financial interest in maintaining the pension system because they benefit from it, Carr said. "That is going to take such an effort to get these people to vote against their own financial interest," Carr said. "People cannot forget that issue is still out there. It's going to bankrupt this state."

•

GORDON CHALLSTROM Challstrom's main focus in this election is on jobs. "That's what this state is starving for," he said. "I want to see people become more self-reliant and self-sufficient." Challstrom, 58, would like to boost Iob growth by loosening land use restrictions, including mining and timber reforestation policies, so the state can make better use of its natural resources. Challstrom said he would push for the federal government to transfer land it owns in Oregon back to state control. According to Challstrom's website, this would spur the creation of well-paying jobs in Oregon. DARREN KARR Karr, 44, said that if voters elect him as governor, he will use crowd-sourcing to gather new ideas to improve Oregon's government. "There's a lot of ideas and innovation that we're missing out on because we're stuck in this old party system," Karr said. Karr did not provide details of how he would orchestrate his crowd-sourcing plan, but he said he would hire technology firms to set up the new system.

LORRAINE MAE RAFFERTY Rafferty, 52, said she decided to run for governor because she opposes Richardson's plan to attract Chinese companies to Oregon. Rafferty said she learned of Richardson's support for the idea through a June 2011 newsletter to constituents, in which Richardson cited the benefits of Japanese car companies opening manufacturing plants in the United States. "Our message for Chinese investors is this ... Oregon is open for business," Richardson wrote. Rafferty said she is concerned that as Chinese companies purchase land for companies in Oregon, Americans will lose control of the state. "We're inviting an invasion," Rafferty sald.

Raffert y also said Oregon has too many regulations, so she would like to pick a point in history and remove all the state laws passed since then. Rafferty said that going back to Oregon's 1959 laws "might be good," but she would have to do further research in order to select the correct year.

Betty's Books to mark 35 years with party, book-signing BAKER CITY — Betty's Books in Baker City will celebrate 35 years in business with a party and special book-signing at the store May 3. Although the store, at 1813 Main Stu opened on March 30, 1979, it has taken a while to find the right date to mark the anniversary. The party will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the book-signing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dan Warnock, longtime Baker County resident and rancher, has written a book titledc You Can't Borrow Yourself Rich: Warnock Ranching History." His father was born in Wallowa County so the Eastern Oregon roots go very deep. The book includesa number oftalesofrealestate transactionsas oneranch or pieceof land was traded for another, and the title comes from his father's admonition that "you're not rich just because you have money from the bank." Dan spent a number of years working as a banker, so he must have had a chance to observe this truth from both sides of the desk. There are many other fascinating tales as well, dating back as far as an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War.

Study shows Northwest still near top in wind energy By Ted Sickinger The Oregonian

Oregon remains near the front of most rankings of the wind industry, a new study shows, though development of new wind resources hit a major lull throughout the Northwest in 2013 that shows little sign of ending. Oregon is in the top five states in the nation in total installed wind capacity3,153megawatts nameplate — and total investment — $6.2 billion, according to an annual report from the American Wind Energy Association. It's also in the top 10 oftotalwind energy generated — 7,452 megawatts hours ienough to supply nearly 700,000homes) and thepercentage oftotal generation from wind — 12.4 percent.

n an age where the cell phone seems almost to have become a natural outgrowth of the ear, here are a few enlightening statistics from the Pew Research Internet Project: • 90 percent of all American adults have a cell phone • 58 percent of American adults have a smart phone • 32 percent of American adults have an e-reader. • 42 percent of American adults own a tablet computer. So, is mobile device repair a good business to be in? You bet. This month, Albin and Chris Presley celebrated the first anniversary of The Cell Fix, the company they run in a neatly appointed business suite on West First Street in Island City. With a lot ofhelp from their full-time technician Nick Bates, they take in broken cell phones, tabletsand game consoles,and send them back to their owners good as new. It's the only business of its kind in Union County, and one of just a small handful in eastern Oregon and southeastern Washington. The Presleys say they get customersfrom alloverthe region,and don'thave a reason tobelieve business is going to slow down anytime soon. "Nick and I work full-time, and we're looking for another part-time person just to keep up," Albin said.cWe've grown every month since we started."

JOB VACANCY SURVEY

Oregon businesses reported 10,000more job vacanciesearly in 2014 than they did the prior year. Businesses had approximately 32,700 job vacancies in the winter months of 2014, according to a Job Vacancy Survey recently completed by the Oregon Employment Department. Not only did employers report having more openings, they also reported more difficulty finding the workers they need, and

they are offering higher average wages, possibly to attractmo re applicants. All of this means additional

Goals Baseball teams begin the seasonwith a stated goal. This goal is set by the ownership of the franchise and it is communicated to everyone in the organization. Not every team has the same goal; the Oakland A's have astated goalto getinto the playoffs which take place aftertheregular 162-game season. Other teams, such as the New York Yankees, expect to win the World Series each year. Teams saying they are "rebuilding"don'tsetspecific goals. As a result, those teams don't do aswellas those teams that set and announce their goals. Unfortunately, most businessesdo notpublicizetheir goals, for avariety ofreasons, the most common one being that goals do not exist. The existenceofgoalscauses performance to improve yet many owners ignore this fact.

Scoreboard As the season progresses, every stakeholder iplayers, management, coaching staf, fans and medial sees exactly how the team is doing againstthe stated goal. This is done through a daily reportcalled "the standings." During each game, those same stakeholders can see what is happening by watching"the scoreboard." The scoreboardlistshow those playingare performing. This is the equivalent of an ongoing, visible and highly public performance evaluation. Employee engagement levels would likely be higher ifcompanies posted the results to show how the business is doing versus goals.

The GM The sole responsibility of the general manager is talent acquisition. A baseball team is no different than most businesses; having the right people in the right spot is a critical component ofsuccess. In many businesses, talent management is diffused and no single person"owns" the responsibility. This means underperformers remain on the payroll when perhaps they should be working elsewhere.

Field manager The manager has just 25 men on the active roster to win each game. Resources must be used wisely. The manager has the final call on all decisions on who plays where and for how long. SeeKeller / Page 2B

Albin Presley is a Union County native who graduated from La Grande High School in 1975. After high school, he got into the building trade. He met Chris in Sacramento, Calif., and married her in 1978. The couple moved back to La Grande in 1982, and became the owners of STD Steel Buildings. A couple of years ago, Albin started looking for another career, mainly because construction kept him on the road too much. Initially he thought about a cell phone repair franchise business, but after some research he decidedtogo independent. "After I talked to the franchise companies, we decided to open a store ourselves. The school I went to off ered allthe same stuff,

BUSINESS 8 AG LIFE

Harshweathergushesdeefgricestoall-timehighinllS By David Pierson and Tiffany Hsu Los Angeles Times

Come grilling season, expect your sirloin steak to come with a hearty side of sticker shock. Beef prices have reached all-time highs in the U.S. and aren't expected to come down any time soon. Extreme weather has thinned the nation's beef cattle herds to levels last seen in 1951, when there were about half as many mouths to feed in America. ''We've seen strong prices before but nothing this extreme," said Dennis Smith, a commoditiesbroker for Archer Financial Services in Chicago.'This is really new territory." The retail value of"allfiesh" USDA choice-grade

beef jumped to arecord $5.28 a pound in February, up fiom $4.91 the same time a year ago. The same grade of beefcost$3.97 asrecently as

2008. The swelling prices are roiling the beef supply chain fiom rancher to restaurant. Norm Langer managed to go two years without raising

prices at his famed Los Angeles delicatessen. But last week, he reluctantly began printing new menus showing a 50-cent increase for sandwiches at his 67-year-old restaurant. Langer accepts it's one oftheperilsofbusiness when your bread and butter happens to be corned beef and pastrami. But he fears he may have to raise prices again, driving away customers. "No beef, nodelicatessen. That's the bottom line," Langer said after a typically frenetic lunch service."Jewish delis aren't vegetarian; they're based on corned beef and pastrami. Things are beyond my control. With the price increase, I hope my customersare tolerant." Langer said beef prices are the main reason his wholesalefood costshave risen 45 percent in the past two years — much of it passed from his longtime supplier, R.C. Provision Inc. The half-century-old Burbank, Calif., company preparescorned beef,pastrami, roast beef and chili for L.A. icons such as Canter's Deli,

Food preparation and serving workers, and production w orkers topped the listof occupations with vacancies, with more than 4,000 apiece. All regions had more vacancies this year than last.

But that's beginning to take shape, she says. Wind's competitiveness in replacing coal may depend heavily on the Congress's willingness to renew the production tax credit, which provides 2.3 cents for every kilowatt hour of electricity generatedduring a project's first 10 years of operation. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore, is now chair of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, and has signaled his willingness to extend the credit. But the effort could become a political football in the U.S. House of Representatives.

WEDNESDAY,APRIL 23, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, yeu are one of the most complex and multi-faceted individuals born under your sign -- or perhaps any sign, for that matter -- but your desires arestraightforward and even quite simple. Yeu have agreat deal to offer the world, but your talents areso many and so varied that yeu may not know where they will lead yeu until, at a significant point in your life, yeu are introduced to your particular "niche" almost by accident. The fact that yeu basically fall into your chosen careermay prove a sourceofresentment for others; they may not accept the fact that yeu areanaturaltalent.Yourdeeds,however,are sure to trump your critics' opinions again and again.

By Joseph Sema,Kate Mather and James Rainey The dark of night still draped Mineta San Jose International Airport when a 15-year-old boy from nearby Santa Clara, Calif., wandered onto a secure airport ramp and toward a Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 767. Then he disappeared. The slight teenager, first seen on a security camera video, would not appear again until later Sunday morning, when airline workers spotted him 2,350 miles to the west, walking on the tarmac at Kahului Airport on the island of Maui. In the interim, authorities say, the boy survived a perilous, 5'/2 -hour odyssey — enduring frigid temperatures, oxygen deprivation and acompartment unfi tforhuman habitation — as he traveled over the Pacific Ocean in the jet's wheel well. The incident prompted authorities to question both how the teen so easil y gained accesstothe jumbo jet and how he survived with so little apparent trauma. Aviation security experts said it was troubling that the teenage had been able to bypass security and get to the plane undetected. U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he wanted more answers, adding that the incident"demonstrates vulnerabilit iesthatneed to be addressed. The Transportation Security Administration planned to meet with law enforcement and airport officials to review security atter the incident, which experts noted could have been catastrophic had the stowaway been armed with explosives."

don't think that telling your granddaughter the man is too old for her w ould be a good idea because it would imply that she is too young, and no 18-year-old wants to hear that. Tell her instead that you think she would have a lot more in common with someone closer to her age. This is particularly true if she is still in high school.

DEAR LOVING GRANDMA: I DEARABBY: After sixyears of unsuccessful fertility work, my husband and I were forced togive up. Last summer his sister ojI"ered to be asurrogateforus,and we'lluse a donor egg since I have none. We have told only a few people. We're having an embryo transfer next week and thought we'd wait until after the ftrst trimester to "announce."But what is the proper way to do it when it's not actually I who is expecting? And is there etiquette forhaving a baby shower in this situation? We're excited and proud of this opportunity, but it takes a lot of explaining for people to understand
