Voter turnout lagging Baker County Clerk Tami Green wants to remind area voters to get their ballots for the Tuesday election in by the May 20 deadline. The contest for the Baker County Commissioner Chair and the competition for the Baker County Commissioner Position No. 2 are the key races for the election that concludes Tuesday but three individuals — Cindy Carpenter, Marcy Osborn and Lara Petitclerc — are also in play for the county clerk slot. Local builder Bill Harvey is running against incumbent Fred Warner for the commission chair position while DickFleming and Gene Stackle are competing against incumbent Mark Bennett for the County Commissioner Position No. 2. Information from the county clerk's office Friday showed that of the 10,114 eligible voters registered in Baker County, 2,926 have turned in a ballot, for a 28.93 percent participation rate.

9th Circuit Conrtof AppealsRuling

By Katy Nesbitt VVesCom News Service

La Grande — An appeals court decision is forcing the WallowaWhitman National Forest to create more protection for elk within the 29,000-acre Snow Basin loggingprojectarea. A lawsuit filed in 2012 sought protection for not only elk, but also endangered bull trout. The appeals court upheld the Forest Service and the U S. Fish and Wildlife's decision that there is

However, the courtdid orderthe Forestto provide supplemental information that would ensure protection for elk from vehicular travel. Baker County intervened in the case, siding with the Forest. "I was disappointed that the Ninth Circuit reversed their decision," Fred Warner Jr., Baker County Board of Commissioners Chairman, said Thursday.

The project began, really, with mud. And dirt. And old playground equipment. The idea to produce new playgroundequipment for Geiser-Pollman Park in Baker City was fueled by a muffled sense of frustration foragroup oflocalm others who decided one day to get involved and to initiate change. They didn't know exactly how they were going to accomplish their goal; they didn't have any money; they didn't have a firm plan. All they really knew was that theywere tired oftraveling to one of Baker City's beautiful parks and watching their children play in mud, dirt and on antiquated playground equipment. The playground restorationprojectrevolved around two women — Lisa Jacoby and Megan Fisher — but eventually encompassed a dozen or more other mothers and concerned residents, including Baker City Councilor Ktm Mosrer. Jacoby — a young mother — saidshe wanted tobe able to bring her children down to the park so they could play in a suitable environment. A location that did not include mud, dirt and outdated — and perhaps slightly unstable — equipment. ''When you have a 15-month-old and bring them down and all they do is fling dirt because there isn't any age-appropriate equipment it's frustrating. The stufF

thing going." Darilyn Parry Brown, Hells Canyon Preservation Council's executive director, said under the Forest's Travel Management Plan the closure ofcross-country travel and key roads within Snow Basin addressedthe plaintifFs'concerns. With the Plan on hold, those protecti ons are notin place. "The Travel Management Plan closedcertain roads in the project areaforelk habitat;thoseprotections are no longer in place, so the court is requiring a supplemental environmental impact statement," Parry Brown said.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 16, 1964 Baker County Circuit Court Judge Lyle R.Wolff was nominated for re-election to another six-year term by a 649-vote margin in yesterday's primary election. He defeated his opponent Baker attorneyWilliam L. Jackson, by 2,839 to 2,190. JudgeWolff's nomination means a virtual election this fall because his name will be the only one appearing on the November ballot. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 16, 1989 It rolled out ofthe hills near Union Monday, its black tongue licking the air and its engine roaring like some sort of mythical bull.

Near La Grande's depot, a crowd gathered to see the steaming, smoking, growling 45-year-old machine ... "I think this is the greatest thing I've seen in a long time," said Corene Mattlock of Baker.

Adding that firefighter is one of the few significant changes listed in the proposed budget that Gillham unveiledThursday at the inaugural meeting of the city's budget board. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 22, 2013 Kevin D. Cassidy, a resident of the Rock Creek area near Haines, and Richard McKim of Baker City have been elected to four-year terms on the Baker School Board, according to unofficial results from the Baker County Clerk's Office. Cassidy received1,770 votes to defeat challenger Mike Ogan for Position 3. Ogan received 1,324 votes in Tuesday's election. .

NEW YORK — Florence Jones went to work on Sept. 11, 2001, wearing a pair of black, high-heeled Kenneth Cole shoes. "I did not plan on walking down 77 flights of stairs," Jones said Thursday in brief, poignant comments at thededication ofthe 9/11 Memorial Museum, where her shoes now are on

display. President Barack Obama, the governors of New York and New Jersey, the city's present and former mayors and scores of survivors and victims' relatives attended a dedication ceremony in a room dominated by a steel column that once formed part of theWorld Trade Center. The 36-foot-tall chunk, known as the Last Column, was one of the final pieces retrievedfrom the rubble after hijackers flew planes into the north and south towers, bringing them to the ground. It is one of thousands of exhibits, some m assive, some tiny,collected forthe 110,000-square-foot museum, which will open to the public on May 21. "Those we lost live on in us," Obama said in a ceremony that steered clear of politics and focused on the actsofpeople who died saving others, and of those who survived against all odds. Obama spoke of a mysterious young man in a red bandanna, whom survivors

The man rushed up and down countless flights of stairs to guide people to safety, until the moment the towers came down and buried him. "They didn't know his name. They didn't know where he came from. But they knew their lives had been saved by the man in the red bandanna," said Obama, who went on to introduce Alison Crowther, the mother of the man: Welles Crowther. "For us, he lives on," Crowther said of her son, who was 24. One of his bandannas is now on display in the museum. Jones had worked on the 77th floor. She described

of bringingtogethervictims' families, politicians, civil leaders, and developers in a projectthat seeks to combine solemn remembrance with a harsh history lesson. But those speaking at the ceremony said they hoped the museum, while detailing the rise of al-Qaida and the loss of nearly 3,000 human lives on Sept. 11, 2001, and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, would send a messageofresilience. Many spoke of the outpouring of goodwill toward New York that followed the attacks, and of the acts of heroism, such as Welles Crowther's, the young man in the red bandanna. "That is the true legacy of Sept. 11," his mother said.

Also, with much gratitude to the Haines United Methodist Church, the ladies (Mary Rider and Marilyn Delfatti) who hosted the day's events at the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall, could not have been a better representation of the facility and God's loving hand over the Memorial event. Their sweetness and the generosity of the church was a wonderful combination. Additional blessings of the Memorial was to have family friend, Keith Miles, Pastor & Missionary, perform the memorable service as well as Laura Fisher Wallace, a childhood family friend, who added beautiful piano music to the atmosphere. Such a lovely time of reflection for all...

LOCAL AND STATE

regonactivistsannounce M la elingcamSaign By Gosia Wozniacka Associated Press

PORTLAND — Activists in Oregon have announced a signature gatheringcampaign to place aballot measure requiring the labeling of genetically modified foods on the statewide ballot in November. If adopted, the initiative by Oregon GMO Right to Know would require food manufacturers, retailersand suppliersto labelraw and packagedfoods produced entirely or partially by genetic engineering. The measure would not apply to animalfeed orfood served in restaurants. Itwould be effective January2016. More than 87,000 signatures are needed to qualify for the ballot. The group has until July 3 to collect signatures. Signature-gathering is also un-

derway in Colorado and in Arizona to put up similar labeling measures. Unlike dozens of other countries, the U.S. currently does not require the labeling of genetically engineered foods. But the use of GMOs has been a growing issue of contention in recent years, with American consumers, environmentalists and health advocates pushing for mandatory labeling. Earlier this month, Vermont became the first state to pass a law that requires labeling of genetically modified organisms. The law takes effect in mid-2016. Maine and Connecticut have enacted labeling laws for engineered foods, but those won't go into effect until other states in the region follow suit. Counties in Hawaii, Washington state and California have adopted laws banning or limiting

genetically modified organisms. There are currently 85 bills on GMO labeling in 30 states, with more than half introduced this year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, as well as dueling bills in Congress. Two recent labeling ballot measures failed. Last November, Washington voters narrowly rejected a mandate to label GMO foods.Backers blamed the defeat on a record $22 million raised by labeling opponents, including largebiotech corporations and food manufacturers. Supporters raised

about $8.1 million. A ballot measure also didn't make it in California in 2012, where pro-labeling activists were equally outspent by biotechnology companies. Biotech firms raised $45 million in that state, while consumer

In Oregon, a GMO labeling initiativewas defeated in 2002.H owever, concerns over GMO's in Oregon regained momentum two years ago, when some organic farmers in the southernpartofthe state discoveredgenetically altered beetswere being grown near their fields. Farmers in several counties pushed for measures to ban genetically modified crops, though only the initiative in Jackson County made it to the ballot. Voters will decide whether to ban GMO crops in that county next week. Hoping to forestall a patchwork oflocal regulations,Oregon enacted legislation barring counties &om adopting GMO bans. Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber also created a task force on genetically engineered

The proposedbudget includes costofliving adjustments for the staf, professional development for stafF iwhich has doubled in the last few years and is paid with designated federal funds), continued support for literacy programs anda focus on career development, facilities improvements and technology. There are seven statImg changes proposed in next year's budget, Dalton said. A halftime paraprofessi onalteaching assistant will be added to accommodate an enhanced kindergarten program. And 1.91 positions will be added at Baker High School to accommodate the new Baker Technical Institute. Other staffing changes are spread throughout the district. Jerry Peacock, Baker High School principal, will lead the BTI program, which is designedtohelp betterprepare students for lifeaftergraduation.

agricultureand directed the state's Department of Agriculture to examine issues surrounding GMO crops, including labeling. Currently, there's little science that says genetically engineered foods are unsafe. But labeling proponents say too much is still unknown about GMO's, so consumers have a right to know if they are eating them. "GMO's are not systematically, independently tested for safety beforethey'resold toconsumers, so we should give Oregonians the abilitytodecide forthemselves,"said David Rosenfeld, executive director of the state's consumer group

OSPIRG. Labeling critics say mandatory labels would mislead consumers into thinking that engineered ingredients are unsafe.

modeled to accommodate BTI, Dalton said. Under the enhanced kindergarten program, all kindergartners will be served lunch and will receive expanded library services and music programs. They will be taught physical education and both stafF and students will benefit &om interaction with their peers, Dalton said. A new program titled "Bronco Boost" will be offe red on a voluntary basisforselect students, he added. Students will rotate throughout the year for an extended day of kindergarten with the focus on improving reading skills. Transportation will be provided. The district is poised to implement all-day kindergarten when it is required to by the Oregon Department of Education, Dalton sald. "State law does not mandate all-day kindergartenand the board doesn'tsupport that until they do," he said. At the high school, the district is expanding thecareer opportunitiesforstudents through BTI and considers it an"economic development/community bettering project," Dalton said. In addition to earning high school diplomas, students will have the option of developing skills in these career pathways: ag sciences, computer sciences, engineering, building trades, diesel mechanics and health services.

Oregon has a reputation for innovation. The state was the first in the nation with the Bottle Bill, the Beach Bill and vote by mail. Ballot Measure 60, a citizen's initiative in 1998, made Oregon the first state in the United States to conduct its elections exclusively by mail. Now it is time to show the nation that vote by mail is the way to go by having a high percentage of voters participating in the primary election, which concludes May

20. Perhaps your ballot is sitting on the kitchen counter in a stack of bills. Dig it out. Fill it in. Get it in the mail. You've seen the political signs all around town

blooming like dafodils given a huge dose of MiracleGro. Perhaps you've read the massive amounts of letters to the editor and studied our Primary Election Guide or reviewed the Voter's Pamphlet that recently came in the mail. Perhaps you've even met the candidates at forums held hither and yon and learned more about their views in person. Good for you. Election day will be here before we know it. Now is the time to take action, to exercise your sacredright and make your voiceheard. Many people today complain about politicians not listening to the public. The first step in getting politicians to listen, to grab their attention, to promote change is to vote your conscience. No, Oregon's election day is not a state holiday. Voters won't walk through an avenue of flags to get to the polls, nor will they be serenaded by marching bandsplayingpatrioticsongs.Some ofthe pomp and circumstance of going to the ballot box, at least in Oregon, is gone. Voting by mail, however, is way easier for most of us than going to the polls. We don't have to take time oA'work to get to the polling places. We don't have to remember to vote on a specific date. We can sit down in the comfort of our own home, at our convenience, and vote our conscience. Sure, we're not going to like all the candidates. Sometimes we're forced to pick the better of two choices we feel are not so great. No matter. The important thing is that we weigh in and contribute our part to making the democracy thrive. In some parts of the world, people don't get a chance to vote. Every time we fail to vote, through apathy, alienation or just plain laziness, we erode this valuable right. Take a few minutes to vote by Tuesday and get your ballots to the Courthouse on time. It's as easy as that. Exercise your right to vote and show the nation that the innovative Oregon vote by mail system is the right way to go.

We who love trees must of course leaven our affection with patience. Much more patience, certainly, than we invest in the sowing of a vegetable garden or an expanse of grass, either of which yields its final products in a matter of weeks or perhaps a few months. Trees are nothing as ephemeral as a row of peas or corn, but the greatnessofa tree accumulates only over many years. There is I think a slight similarity in this respect between trees and children. Neither arrives fully developed.

GaryDielman's 3apanese stories were 'top-notch'

Thanks for printing recent installments re: Japanese in Baker City. Gary Dielman's writings were wonderfully informative. He wrote not only

Phyllis Badgley Lifelong Baker City resident

Warner's favorite color 'still' blue despite party change Apparently Fred Warner was told he could not win the election running as a Democrat; he did the politically expedient thing and changed parties. This followed the example of Wayne Morse, who went the other way. It bothers me that a person can thrown his core values to the wind and assume those of others. Then a friend of mine told me that the only core values that Democrats have is to win, at any price. Maybe Fred learned this from our present president. I thought it interesting that even though Fred became a Republican he maintained his favorite color, blue. iA11 of his campaign signs are "still" blue.)

The Arbor Day Foundation has designated Baker City as a Tree City USA for 29 straight years — a streak exceeded by just four other Oregoncities. But that recognition, though well-deserved, is based on statistical factors— appointing a tree board and passinga tree ordinance,for instance. Ifyou asked me about Baker City's trees I wouldn't talk about percapitaspending on treesor recite fiom a resolution passed by the City Council. I would try instead to describe the fragranceofbittercherry blossoms on a May day when the air falls softly on a bare arm, neither spring nor summer but a perfect and soothing combination ofboth seasons.

re c iate I would endeavor to explain how my heart swells when I walk beneath the brilliant chandelier that is a weeping birch on a clear day in lateOctober. I would extoll the sight of a ponderosapine atdawn after a heavy fall of snow, and wax rhapsodic about the bliss of standing in the shade of agreatmaple on an August afternoon. I'd like to think that Mr. Silvers' affinity for Baker City's trees was similarly sensuous. Regardless, his generosity ensures that all of us, residents and visitors, will always have an abundanceoftreesto appreciate in our own way. Jayson Jacoby is editor of the Baker City Herald.

Students learned how planting and harvesting crops have changed as technology has improved and the population moved to the cities. What took hours and days to plant and harvest takes only hours now, instructors told them. In the early part of the 20th century agriculture was thought of in horsepower with real horses and now it represents how much

power each engine can produce. At one time each farm produced enough for their family and some of the surrounding area with about 90 percentofthepeoplein agriculture. Now 2 percent of the people feed the world. With new technology farmers can more efficiently save on fossil fuels,use lessofherbicides and increase crop production, students learned.

The Baker boys golf team will have the opportunity to challenge for the Class 4A state championship again next week. The Bulldogs, who placed second a year ago, weren't sure for a while whether they would get that opportunity. Baker placed second at the Greater Oregon League district tournament Tuesday, earning a state berth. Or so

the Bulldogs thought. But, there was a question about a score on a Baker scorecard, and that

Spring reflections

• I

As the sun peaks its head up over the valley for a new day, two American avocets begin their daily ritual of eating tiny insects, seeds and crustaceans. They swing their bills from side to side on the freshly watered pasture as they prepare for another year of raising their family.

The transformation of light beams on the still BakerValley meadow shows the radiant beautywe all enjoy each spring as the new cycle of life begins and the valley agricultural season gets under way.

Salmon POWDER RIVER advocates getvictorV PORTLAND iAPl — A tiny, unnamed stream in the Willamette Valley became the center of Oregon's long-running battle over salmon and dams on Thursday when the state high court delivered a resounding victory for advocatesofwild m igratory

fish. The Oregon Supreme Court ruled that the state's w ildlif edepartment has for years incorrectly interpreteditsrulesconcerning the needs of migratory fish through dams. The court ruled that the department must enforce a state law that puts the needs of the fish's passage ahead of the dams owners' right to determine the best needs of their water rights. Charles and Deborah Noble own a property upstream from two small, privatedams, and made improvements on the stream toallow forcutthroat trout habitat and migration. The dams allowed for ish to travelovertheir tops f when the water level was high enough.

"Itmakes them feelgood togive back,"said Veronica Johnson, correctional rehabilitation manager at PRCF. There is a system for how they raise money and contribute to local causes. At PRCF, the adults in custody have different assignments such as janitorial, kitchen work and cleaning. By filling the assignments, the men earn points they can redeem for items at the canteen — envelopes, coffee,and more.

RULING Continued from Page1A "Our concern is adequate protection for wildlife and old growth," he added. In March2012 the Forestreleased itsdecision on road closures that was met with local and congressional representative pushback. The Plan was put on hold the following month for further review, leaving elk at risk from vehicular travel, according to the plaintiffs. ''We certainly support local jobs, but they have to get it right," Parry Brown said."Our forest is heavily roaded — one of the most roaded in the nation — with roads in certain areas in critical elk habitat."

obvious, she said. "No one balked. Not one shred of resistance from anyone," Mosier said. The city eventually provided a $25,000 grant match which essentially cleared a major hurdle, Jacoby said. Yet the Leo Adler/city grants proved to be just one key component in a multitiered effort to find endowments and donations across thecommunity.The group, spearheaded by Fisher and Jacoby, sought every conceivable funding source available. For example, the group secured a Ka-Boom Playground Grant — sponsored by Dr. Pepper and Snapple — through a nationwide, online voting process. Other grants followed and the Baker Lions Club stepped up. "They said we will be your nonprofit partner," Jacoby said. Eventually, through grants and donations — from businesses and individuals — the PIP group gathered around $150,000 toward the purchaseofnew playground equipment.The total value of the equipment, Jacoby said, is

Jacoby agreed. ''We decided to takeaction instead ofcomplaining," she said. Jacoby said the entire project is really a testament to the type of people who live in Baker County. People she said, are willing to step in and help for the right kind of cause. Dedication played a role as well. Fisher forexample,became involved in the project before she moved with her husband, Troy, to Newberg. Yet she returned this week to help with the installation of the equipment. "I couldn't leave it. We put a lot of tears and emotions into the whole thing," Fisher said. More than 35 area businesses and organizations — from the National Honor Society, Oregon Trail Electric, South Baker Intermediate School to Bella Main Street Market — contributed funds toward the project. And the city ensured that Bornstedt's time, which included handling much of the administration of the grants, was donated as well. An inmate work crew from Power River Correctional Facility also provided critical assistance probably closer to $190,000, but by taking during the installation process, Jacoby said. advantage of discounts from equipment firms, (Seerelated story on this page). the group kept costs down.

Different assignments earn different pointsthe most an adult in custody can earn in a month is equivalent to $75. The men work on budgeting while incarcerated, and they can choose to spend their points or save them. Any points remaining when they are released can be cashed out. On occasion, the activities committee — which is made up of adults in custody — schedules fundraisers, such as an evening with fried chicken and a movie. The admission fee then goes into a fund thatcan be used for specialeventsordonated toa cause they choose. Some examples: They donated money to the Bingham family who was awaiting a new heart for their daughter; they held a Family Day that

school supplies; and also supported the Thanksgiving soup supper at Charley's Ice Cream Parlor. They have also purchased new basketballs, movies, and recreational equipment. "In a time when there is no budget for these things, we need to be creative," Johnson said. Proposals from the activities committee are presentedtothe stafFand submitted forapproval by management. And sometimes, the staf brings ideas to the committee. "Powder River Correction Facility recognizes that family connections and the opportunity that the adults in custody have to give back to the community are fundamental components for a successfulrelease process asthey prepare togoback to their communities," a press release from the prison stated.

Parry Brown said the plaintiffs would like to see the Forest comply with a national mandate to closeoff-road or"cross-country"travel and toclose roads she called ineffective. She said elk do not do well in heavily traveled areas. "A lot of studies show they are adversely affected by motorized travel." The plaintiffs, Hells Canyon Preservation Council and the League of Wilderness Defenders, filed suit in December 2012 and a preliminary injunction April 2013. The injunction was denied last July. The plaintiffs filed an appeal in August 2013. The most recent opinion by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was released May 8. The appeals court's opinion was that the Forest's "discussion was insufficiently clear, and

The judges remanded, with instructions,"for the district court to enter a preliminary injunction sufficient to protect the status quo while the United States Forest Service completed a supplemental environmental impact statement."

Training

a dog for the hunt

e put away the fishing pole and the pheasant wing after a few sessions in the sagebrush. The goal was to find out if the pup had "prey drive," and if she did, could we promote the idea of the point and the chase? She is 20 weeks old and has been apartofthefamily for 10 weeks now. We call her Liesl, which, on a good day rhymes with lethal and on other days rhymes with weasel. So far, every major stride she has made has involved eithera bird or adogbiscuit. She is a pudelpointer, bred for intelligence, love of water, retrieving instinct and willingness to please. Her lineage can be traced back 135 years to seven German hunting pudels and 20 English pointers. The breed was brought to the United States in 1956. Sixyearsago,m yfiiend Steve Waller showed me how adept the breed was at finding deer and elk antlers. Later, we hunted pheasants. Waller introducedme to fellow breeder Rod Rist, and this year we got our first pudelpointer. Prey drive, both Rist and Waller told me, is the most important quality at this stage. At 16 weeks old, she hunted for the first time with a French Brittany named Beau and a black Lab named Max. Over the course of the afternoon, she watched Beau point chukar, saw the birds flush, saw the hunters shoot and the dogs retrieve. Next, I hid sausage in the yard then watched as she began to hunt with her nose instead ofher eyes. This was a trick I learned from Scott Linden. Two days of this and we had to leash her up to get her out of the yard. On her second hunt, while on a lead, Liesl pointed two chukar then trailed them, m ade both retrieves and brought the birds to hand. Since then we have trained with &ozen chukar and with mule deer antlers. This dog, we hope, will be an antler dog as well as a bird hunter. Waller, who lives in Oakland, was the first one to teach me about pudelpointer shed antler hunting. "Anydog can do it, but some breedsarebetterthan others," Waller said."I believe itis a genetic thing; it comes down

thmugh the ipudelpointerl gene pool. I believe the pudelpointers do so goodbecause they are trained onfur and hair and antlerin the old country." Every week or so, I talk to Rist, who owns High Life Pudelpointers, in Terrebonne. "Let her be a puppy," he tells me, which I'm content to do, but our play centers around her future careers as bird hunter and antler finder.

A rufous hummingbird enjoys a sweet drink. Although the birds will drink from feeders filled with commercial nectar, some have suggested the red dye in the mix may be harmful. A simple home recipe — four parts water with one part sugar — can be warmed a bit to melt the sugar. Don't let the feeder run dry as the birds may not return. Many casual observations have revealed that some hummers will feed at night — especially when feeding young or during cooler weather.

''We'll be fundraising throughout the year to helpsupportthese projects," said Will Simons, foundationmanager. Proceeds raised from the next benefit golf tournament will go toward the acquisition of the ventilator, and the wireless transducers will be part of the foundation's year-end giving strategy. The C-arm is expected to be GRH's first purchase sometime in June. All the projects are examples of GRH's vision of enhanced patientcare and experience.

The best way to promote healthy snacking is to buy healthy foods and have them washed up, cut up and ready to eat. Make healthy snacks accessible to your child. ''When offering children a snack, let them choose between two or more healthy options as opposed to a healthy versus unhealthy option," Findholt said. If your child takes a home-packed lunch to school, make sure to include healthy snacks in there. For example, a low-fat yogurt and a cheese stick or cut carrots and sweet grapes would be healthy selections along with a sandwich and low-fat milk. eWork with your school to set guidelinesfor schoolparties and celebrations," Findholt suggested. "Healthy foods can be fun. Make these the focusofparties.Better yet,celebrate with an outdoor adventure or longer recess." Changing the psychology of eating for children and adolescents will require a partnership between teachers and parents, but the health benefits will be worth the effort.

But this is no doctor's offtce: Matulaitis sits in his rural Maryland home as a neurologist a few hundred miles away examines him via the camera in his laptop. Welcome to the virtual house call, the latest twist on telemedicine. It's increasingly getting attention as a way to conveniently diagnose simple maladies, such as whether that runny nose and cough is a cold or the flu. One company even offers a smartphone app that lets techsavvy consumers connect to a doctorfor$49 a visit. Now patient groups and technology advocates are pushing to expand the digital care to people with complex chronic diseases that make a doctor' strip m ore than just an inconvenience. ''Why can't we provide care to people wherever they are?" asks Dr. Ray Dorsey, a neurologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center who is leading a national study of video visits for Parkinson's patients and sees broader appeal. 'Thinkoftaking your mom with Alzheimer's to a big urban medical center. Just getting through the parking lot they're disoriented," he adds."That's the standard of care but is it what we should

Once he was stabilized on medication, Dorsey enrolled the Salisbury, Md., man in a pilot study of video house calls. Set-up was simple: The doctor emailed a link tovideo software designed forpatient privacy. He's thrilled with the care. "It's just the same as if you've ever done Facetime on an iPhone," explained Matulaitis, 59, who continues his virtual checkups with Dorsey a few times a year."It allows the doctor to seethe patientata point where they are at their best." Telemedicine is broader than a Skype-like doctor visit. Foryears,doctors have delivered different forms of care remotely, from the old-fashioned phone call to at-home monitors that measure someone's blood pressure and beam the information to a clinic. Hospitals routinely set up on-site video consultations with specialists. But the virtual house call is gaining interest. Some insurers offer versions, such as Wellpoint Inc.'s LiveHealth Online service. Telemedicine provider American Well is making headlines with itsdirect-to-consumer service, offered in 44 states. Psychiatrists are exploring mental health follow-up counseling from the privacyofa patient's home computer. New guidelines from the Federation of State Medical Boards say telemedicine can be OK without a prior in-person visit, a change expected to influence licensing regulations in a number of states, said federationpresident Dr. Humayun Chaudhry. The guidelines hold virtual visitsto the same standards as an office visit, including a full medical history and informed consent, and say patients should be able to chooseamong participating doctors. The group also is finalizing a plan to make iteasierfordoctorstopractice across state lines. But does a virtual exam translate into better outcomes for the chroni-

cally ill? 'There's an evidence gap that needs to be filled," said Romana Hasnain-Wynia of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, an agency created under the new health care law to study which medical treatmentsand procedures work best.

With a $1.7 million grant from PCORI, Dorsey's study is randomly assigning about 200 Parkinson's patients from around the country to receive either their usual care or added virtual checkups from a specialist. His pilot studies have suggested telemedicine allows needed care such as medication adjustments while saving patients time.

In time, Deborah Cole Thomas, 60, of Plum, Pa., would undergo surgeries to fuse joints in both feet along with a left-ankle replacement, all from the wear-andtear form of arthritis. She endured shoulder pain and more recent problems with right-knee pain, which she likens to a knife stab. Round-the-clock pain medications are a must. "I try not to let it affect me," Thomas said, noting that her husband, Llewellyn, 82, has had both arthritic kneesreplaced."Itdrivesme to keep moving.

She'd stand and struggle to flex stiffened joints. In coming years, she faces further surgeries, including knee-replacement surgery. But she's still walking, with the goalof10,000 stepsa day and an average of about

But she works around those limitations. "There's always something I can do just to keep moving." While people with osteoarthritis struggle to move, there's plenty of movement in research as scientists work through the biological puzzleofosteoarthritisto come up with potential treatments. A University of Pittsburgh research team, led by Rocky S. Tuan — professor and executive vice chairman of the department of orthopedicsurgery and directorof the Center for Cellular and Molecular Engineering — is making headway in understanding the complex stew of enzymes ihistonesl, proteins and genes that cause osteoarthritis while identifying a potential treatment to slow the rateofcartilage destruction. There's further breaking news from the Tuan camp that sounds like science fiction: His team is using a 3-D printer, which makes structures one layer at a time, to make new joints. Using a solution containing the patient's stem cells, along with growthfactors and scaffolding material, the 3-D printer constructs actual cartilage in theright shape to replace damaged cart ilage. The stem-cell solution extrudedthrough acatheter alsocould be used tocreate new cartilage, as guided by a 3-D printer, directly onto the joint bone. The team's tissue-engineered joints already have shown success in large animals, raising the promise of creating replacement joints for people now dependent on plastic and metal ones. The processcould beparticularly useful in repairing battlefield injuries. Tuan announced the successApril27 atthe

''We essentially speed up the development process by giving the cells everything they need, while creating a scaffold to give the tissue the exact shape and structure that we want," Tuan said, adding that his team continues working to develop cartilagemore closely resembling human cartilage. "Total joint replacements involving plastic and metal joints work well, but they don't last long enough," Tuan said."For someone who is 60, that's OK. But if you are in your 30s, that's not good because you may need revision after revision. ''We are not in position to say that it will last a lifetime.

Tuan and Dr. Veronica Ulici, an Arthritis Foundation-supported post-doctoral fellow at the university and medical doctor, are focusing on a method to prevent destruction of the cartilage, which would do away with the need to replace joints. 'The joint is a very interesting organ," Tuan said. "There is no blood flow there, or nerves." The immune response in the joint that occurs from chronic wear and tear or injury increases the level of unhealthy inflammation, which eventually causes cartilagedegradation.Tuan said, "It tries to repair itself, but in the end it fails." Tuan, a doctor of biochemistry and cell biology, and Ulici have investigated the process, which focused attention on the histone deactetylase enzymes, or HDAC. Injury to the joint activates certain genes to produce known inflammatory factors, which increase the activity of degradative enzymes. Genes activated by injury can be bad ones, initiating a vicious cycleofenzyme degradation that causes fibrillation on the cartilage surface while chewing up cartilage. The studies involving cow tissues show that injured cartilageappears to generate increased levels of HDAC enzymes, raising the specter that they play a key role in activating thechanges leading to cartilage damage. But a pharmaceutical agent that inhibits HDAC, already being testedas a treatment for lymphoma, slows down the degradationofcartilage,the Pitt team has found. As such, it holds promise as a treatment, with the advantageofalready being

tested for safety in human clinical trials as a lymphoma treatment. It would take five or more years before any treatment is available, if all goes well with the research. "Once we know the effects, we can stop them with treatment," said Ulici, a key figure in theseriesofstudies."Ifwe can do that, we can prevent osteoarthritis and its changes in the tissue." While the pharmaceutical agentdoesn'tstop cartilage degradation, "we do see good improvement," Ulici said. 'The inflammatory molecules are going down." "Obviously, the goal is to preventdegradation from happening in the first place," Tuan said."Based on Veronica's findings, if someone gets banged up one way or another, there's a way to make sure HDAC activity is involved, then use inhibitors thatareinjected to avoid degradation"ofthecartilage. There's even more news that could advance treatm ents forosteoarthritis. The Pitt team also is using tissueengineering to develop human tissue and cartilage in a laboratory dish that can beused to testtheeffect of drugs. The live model of human joint tissue is being heraldedas thecreation of "the first example ofliving human cartilage grown on a laboratory chip." For now, the engineered cartil age tissueon a computer chip will serve "as a test-bedforresearchers to learn about how osteoarthritis develops" and to develop new drugs. ''We hope that the methods we're developing will really make a difference, both in the study of the disease and, ultimately, in treatments for peoplewith cartilage degeneration or joint injuries," said Mr. Tuan, who also serves as director of the McGowan Institut e forRegenerative M edicine and director ofthe Center for Military Medicine Research at the Pitt School of Medicine. Osteoarthritis, the Arthritis Foundation website states, "leadsto 632,000 joint replacements per year, with a total cost of $128 billion in 2012formedical care and indirect expenses, including lostwages and productivity. One in two people will developa form ofarthritisin their lifetime." It is distinct from rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation in flexible joints, with potential to lead to severe disability ifleft untreated. But it affects less than 1 percent of Americans. The foundation said trends suggestthat"halfofall adults will develop symptomatic osteoarthritisofthe knee at some point in their lives and the riskincreases with obesityto tw oofevery three obese adults." Women older than 50 are more commonly affected by osteoarthritis than men, with it typically beginning after

age 40. But arthritis is a tough opponent. Ms. Thomas, as board member of the foundation's regional chapter,says peoplemust work to staveoff immobility by walking and exercising. She's trying to avoid another round of foot surgery. That's why the Pitt research is stirring optimism for her and the Arthritis Foundation.

People who took statins to lower their cholesterol levels ate more calories and fat in 2009-10 than did those who took them a decade earlier, raising the question of whether the drug provides a false sense of dietary security. Researchers who used data from a national health survey found that in 1999-2000, people who tookstatins atefewer calories, by an average of 179a day,and lessfat than people who didn't take them. The differences began to shrink, and by 2005-06, the difference was insignificant. And by 2009-10, statin users had increased their daily calories by 9.6 percent and their fat intake by 14.4 percent over the decade. Those not taking statins did not have a significant change, the researchers said. The increase ofbody mass index — a measure of obesity calculated by comparing weight and height — also was greater for people who took statins than those who did not. Diet modifications and m edications are used to lower cholesterol levels as ways to prevent heart disease and other conditions. "Statins are used by about one-sixth of adults. We may need to re-emphasize the importance of dietary modification for those who are taking these medications, now thatobesity and diabetes areimportant problems in society," Takehiro Sugiyama, who led the research while a visiting scholar at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, said in a statement. The study was presented last week at the annual meeting of the Society of General Internal Medicine and is being published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. For this study, the researchers used data from nearly28,000 participants ages 20 and older m the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. What they ate was measured with a 24hour dietary recall, taken by trained interviewers. The reasons for the changes are not certain, said Dr. Martin Shapiro, one of the authors.

three deployments to Iraq and three to Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Dennis Swols is agitated, prone to bouts of anger and unable to really talk about his time on the battlefield. But as Swols sits in a small office in the Robinson Health Clinic at Fort Bragg, his hand drops to the furry head beside him and his mood brightens. Settled at his feet, Lexy, a 5-year-old German shepherd, gives Swols a few moments of dist raction. It's her job. And, according to Swols, she's good at it. "I have a hard time talking to people about my deployments and everything," says Swols, who is with the 82nd Airborne's 4th Brigade Combat Team. After taking part in the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the march into Baghdad in 2003, he's been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress."But having her here, I just pet Lexy. Or I'm just sitting here and we won't talk about deployments, we'll just (talkl about the dog.... My day is better every time I come in." For 82nd Airborne psychiatrist Maj. Christine Rumayor, Lexy is a partner,a conversation starter and a living, breathing medical tool that can calm a patient and make atherapy appointment a little more enjoyable. A slowly evolving form of treatment, animal therapy is used in only a few other Army installations, including Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. A small number of dogs like Lexy are being usedalmost as co-therapists. Others routinely work as service animals and are often used for animal-assisted therapy, including in visits to patients in the hospitals. Lexy's move into therapy was unexpected. Rumayor decided to put her new puppy through the training when she realized Lexy was less of a guard dog and more of a calm cuddler. So, Lexy went through about 2'/2 years of training before she was able to pin on her rank — she's a lieutenant colonel — and become certified as Fort Bragg's only therapy dog. As the Army struggles to addressthe broad swath ofstress disorders and mental health problems brought on by more than a decade of war, one of the biggest hurdles is getting soldiers to putaside thebravado and seek treatment. Lexy, it turns out, is particularly good atthat. Van Woodruff, who was a sergeant first class, went to his scheduled appointment just a few days before he was setto gethis medical retirement and move out of the Army after 13 years in the service. "It'shard forme tocome to these appointments. I can't really sit in the waiting room," said Woodruff, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. "I don't look forward to this whole process ofbeing here.... The whole process of being here is something that'sagitative tomy diagnosis."

But on a sunny Wednesday morning, the Alabama native is sitting in Rumayer's office. "This is the only one I look forward to going to because of Lexy. I love dogs." Rumayor, who wrote the Fort Bragg policy that allows her to use Lexy in her practice, said there was resistance at first. 'You don't want everybody to think they can just bring their dog to work," she said. Rumayor also has seen what an asset the dog can be in getting soldiers to seek out therapy and consistently attend their appointments. Walking around the base, she uses Lexy as a lightning rod to attract soldiers, then draws them into conversation. On any given day, she and Lexy will wander over to the motor pool or anywhere troops might gather, to see who might be interested in having a chat. "Stigma is one of the huge things the military is trying super hard toovercome — behavioral health stigma being the biggest one, I think. And Lexy is probably the biggestassetIhavein overcoming that stigma," Rumayor said. "There's nothing better than coming to an appointment where you get to have a warm fuzzy thing that you get to pet all the time. People don't want to come in the door. When they see her coming in, it makes them want to come in the door." And often the soldiers reward her. On her vest, Lexy sports an Army Ranger tab and a spray of otherbadges and patches that she got from patients. The special forcestab came from a soldierwho had been injured in a roadside bomb blast, and Lexy and Rumayor visited him in the hospital. Navy Capt. Robert KoSnan, the senior consultant for behavioral health at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, has a therapy dog of his own, named Ron. And he's seen the broad impact the dogs can have. Ron, a 3-year-old golden retriever/labrador mix, holds the rank of a one-star general and his designated military occupation is a "psych tech." He's even trained to bringtissues to distressed patients and put his head on a person's lap ifhe orshe is stressed. Lt. Col. Matthew St. Laurent, who is the occupational therapy chief at Walter Reed, said the use of dogsto aid therapy has been endorsed by U.S. Army MedicalCommand and appears to be gettingmore support acrossthe military. Both he and KoSnan saidadditionalresearch isneeded to determine how and when it is best to use the animals. "It's tough for anybody to go to their mental health provider," said St. Laurent, who also runs the Therapeutic Service Dog Training Program."But they need to see mental health providers and if you're introduced to the mental health community by a flufFy, loving canine, you'd be more inclined to come to the clinic and pet the dog. And one thing leads to another, and you're in the clinic."

Chris Schreiner, executive director of Oregon Tilth, a nonprofit that's responsible forcertifyingproducers as organic, said time will tell what the impact will be of removing antibiotics from orchards. "I think that particular disease is very devastating," he said."It won't just wipe out a particular season'scrop,but it can wipe out a whole orchard if it goes untreated or unaddressed."

Substancesscrutinized Some have grown disillusioned with how organics are regulated in the U.S. Rangan, who's studied the process for 15 years, said the NOSB doesn't always perform thorough scientific reviewsofthe substances itallow s in organic food production. Often the board members simply make a few phone calls or assumptions about their health impact, she said. Some of the products approved have come under scrutiny from consumer advocacy groups. The Cornucopia Institute has targeted carrageenans, polysaccharides made from seaweed used for their thickening properties. They're commonly found in organic chocolate milk and liquid baby formula. Fantle said not only are they unnecessary ipeople could just shake the products to mix them), but carrageenans also are known to cause inflammation in the intestinal tract, which can be especially hard on infants. Fantle's group also has concerns about docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid commonly added to milk and baby formula that's believed to improve cognitive function. Fantle said although he believes DHA can be obtained from natural sourceslike eggs,it'sharvested from algae that's likely fed genetically modified corn and extracted using solvents prohibitedin organicfood production. Until September, the NOSB reviewed the substances it allowed every five years and a two-thirds majority vote was required to keep the substance in use. Under the changes the USDA made, however, a two-thirds vote is now required to ban the substance, thereby making it more difficult to ban substances.

U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, D-vt., and Congressman Peter DeFazio, DSpringfield, protested the change in a letter to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. They argued the change was made without going through the proper public channels and it conflicts with the 1990 law they authored creating the NOSB. eWe are extremely concerned by this significant and unwarranted policy change," Leahy and DeFazio wrote. "It is counter to the key principals of public involvement and oversight in the organiccertification processasw ell as adhering to the highest standards possible fororganicfood production." The purpose of the five-year window is togiveresearchers time to develop organic alternatives to the synthetic substances.

PULLMAN — Let's say you're m a locker room after completing a workout. You grab a towel on the bench before realizing it belongs to someone else. Unknown to you, the person who just used the towel left behind some lingering Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, commonly known as "staph." The organism was spread to that person's hands after rubbing an infected hair follicle on his inner thigh. Now, imagine that one or two ofthose staph bacteria on the towel enter an open paper cut on your finger. Inside your body, they multiply. A few days later, what began as a simple paper cut is now pufFy and seeping pus. Your finger is red and swollen. You visit an urgent care clinic. Ideally, you'd be prescribed an antibiotic that would kill the staph cells. But maybe some of those cellsare abletoresistthat drug. They keep replicating, rapidly, in the face of treatment. All the while, the infection disperses throughout your body. You have contracted a"community acquired" antibiotic-resistant infection, caused by certain geneswapping bacteria flourishing beyond hospital walls, said Guy Palmer, regents professor and director of Washington State University's Paul G. Allen Center for Global Animal Health. Whether you're in Kansas, Costa Rica or Congo, "a series of seemingly innocuous events can lead to a potentially lifethreatening situation where an infection defies the very drug designed to destroy it," said Palmer, who serves on the National Academy of Sciences Board on Global Health. "Resistantbacteria don't recognize borders," he said. "They're no longer confined to hospital sand other clinical settings. They're in the environment, replicating and spreading among diversepopulations."

Sounding the alarm Palmer's comments come on the heels of a recently issued stark warning by the World Health Organization iWHOl. Common bacteria are becomingresistant to antibiotics in "every region of the world," concluded authors of the new report. And though scientists and public health officials have been sounding alarm bells for more than a decade, this is the first time hard data have replaced global guesswork. The world is entering a"post-antibi oticera," the reportconcludes isee http://apps.who.intjiris/ bitstream/10665/112647/V WHO HSE PED AIP 2014.2 eng.pdPua=ll

A hard sell It's well-documented that without efFective antibioticspeople getsicker,stay sick longer, require more costly treatments and are more likely to die. Even so,antibioticresistance is a tough topic to sell, said Palmer, whose work with the National Academy of Sciences involves advising the Institute of Medicine on health issues transcending continental boundaries — of which antibiotic resistance ranks high. A clearer picture is neededifthe problem isto be addressed on a globalor even national — scale, he said: "It's one thing for the problem to be known; it's another for it to be widely

understood." For example, a public misconception persists that resistance only impacts people who have taken too many antibiotics or have misused them, he said. "Even if you've never had antibiotics in your life, resistant bacteria can still be passed on through food, through water and soil, through contact with humans," Palmer said; for example, through swallowing a mouthful of water downriver from a city or farm; eating undercooked poultry or meat; breathing in germs from a person's cough. "This is not an individual's problem; it's a societal problem," he said. And it's exacerbated by modern air travel, where an antibiotic resistantstrain ofbacteria can beon the opposite side oftheworld one day and in the United States the next. "It's said that any pathogen can move around the globe within 24 hours, but the same can be said of antibiotic resistance," he said.

Raise awareness, limit use Although resistance is a natural consequence of bacteria's evolution — they change in order to survive — "we'vefueledtherise of these pathogens with the inappropriateuseofantibiotics in humans and animals alike," Palmer said. Heightened awareness among the public, clinicians, policymakers and food-animal producers is crucial in ordertoreverse,or atleast slow, the steady march of drug resistance, he said. On the human side, antibiotics have been overprescribed; on the animal side, they've been harnessed to spur growth. "The more antibiotics that people take and the more antibiotics we give our livestock and poultry, the more chances we provide for bacteriato develop resistance to them," he said."That's why animals, like humans, should only be given these drugs in an appropriate treatmentregimen forbacterial infections." Palmer's view is supported by scientific studies and backed by a growing list ofleading health organizations, including WHO, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's announcement late last year requesting voluntary phasing out of the non-medical use of antibiotics in farm animals is agood start,said Palmer. There are also signs of market-driven change. A growing number of U.S. companies, including Chipotle, Panera and Applegate Farms, now sell antibioticfree meat and poultry. And in February, the popular fast-food restaurant Chickfil-A announced plans to serve chicken not raised on antibiotics.

Here, there, everywhere Now that we've reached the tipping point of antibiotic resistance — worldwide and nationally — it will require a fundamental shift in how these drugs are viewed, what they're used for and how they're developed, said Palmer. Today, new antibiotics on the market are rare whilebacteriaresistant to antibiotics are abundant, he said.
