Sports, 5A SAN ANTONIO"Beat the Heat!" had a whole new meaning in a sweltering start to the NBA Finals.

With an air conditioning failure making it feel like a sauna and causing Miami's LeBron James to battle cramps that knocked him out of the decisive stretch, the SanAntonio Spurs pulled away to win the opener of the first finals rematch since 1998.

Tim Duncan had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the Spurs beat the Heat 110-95 on Thursday night in Game 1 at steamy AT8r TCenter.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m.atthe library,2400 Resort St. The money-saving plan was introduced by Perry Stokes, library director, in his presentation to the library district's budget committee during its May 21 meeting.

Stokes said the action is needed because of a 22-percent increase in health-care benefits for library employees, a total in-

A tire from a trailer traveling on Interstate 84 near Baker City came loose just after noon Thursday, and the tire and one lugnut rolled intothe roadside grass and ignited two small fires, both well under one acre.

A U.S. Forest Service fire engine put out both blazes, said Gary Timm, fire division manager for Baker County Emergency Management. The fire, which was reported at 12:18 p.m., was next to the westbound lanes near Milepost 308,about two mileseastof Baker City.

The fire, on private property outside any fire protection district, was originally reported to the BLM's Vale District. BLM then called the Forest Service, which had a fire engine just a few miles away in Baker City.

Last month Eastern Oregon's OregonArmy National Guard outfit fought an enemy force in a number of running battles where tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehides were destroyed and troopers were killed orwounded.

The fightinside a foreign country lasted all weekend. Then, on Sunday, battalio n trooperspacked uptheirgear and pulled down a large light-brown interconnected tent fiom the drill floor attheLa Grande Armory and went

home.

In reality, the two-day conflict occurred inside a virtual world and not a single Guardsmen suffered a scratch during the May drill weekend. Yet the event — dubbed a Command Post Exercise — married high-tech gadgetry with real-time decision making by offic ersand troopersofthebattalion to preparethem for arealwarand setthe stage for one of the unit's busiest summers in years.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 6, 1964 Special Deputy Otto "Dutch" Wendt was awarded the Cross of Valor last night for saving the life of Sheriff Delmar E. Dixon in 1960.

The award, the highest ever given by the Oregon State Sheriff's Association, was presented to Wendt at the association's Spring Convention at Canyon City.

This is the third time the award has been presented in many years and Wendt is the first person in Baker County to receive it.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 6, 1989 "The center (National OregonTrail Interpretive Center) is a tremendous involvement and will be very important to local communities and the state and the nation," said Dave Hunsaker, the new project manager.

On May 24, Hunsakertookovermanagement ofthe project, which is now in the stage of preliminary planning and site development on Flagstaff Hill.

Hunsaker comes to the project after four years as U.S. Bureau of Land Management park manager at the Red Rock Canyon Recreation Lands near Las Vegas, Nev. That park drew 550,000 visitors last year to the 67500-acre natural wonderland.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 7, 2004 Fred Boyer saw the soldier's guts strewn across the sand of a Normandy beach, a scene infinitely more ghastly than anything a filmmaker could ever concoct.

He heard the soldier's dying cries.

And 60 years later Boyer hears them still.

He knowshe could nothave saved the soldier.

Even if Boyer had been a skilled surgeon rather than a sailor, it would not have mattered a whit.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 14, 2013 The end of the school year hasn't meant the end of obligations for Nanette Lehman, the 2012-13 Oregon Teacher of the Year.

Lehman's traveling plans this summer extend way beyond moving her second-grade classroom from the North Baker campus back to the newly refurbished Haines Elementary School.

Lehman,45,hasspeaking engagements and meetings to attend and in July she'll be jetting off to Alabama for a visit to Space Camp with her fellow honored teachers.

The library also took a funding hit because property taxescollected to support the library, though projected to increase 2.5 percent per year, are actually down slightly because of compression.

Ballot Measure 5,passed

by Oregon voters in 1990, put a limit on property taxes through the process known as compression. Under the law, property owners pay a

maximum of $10 per $1,000 ofrealmarket property value to support general government, which includes the library district.

Property owners are as-

than would have otherwise been collected on the local option levy.

"That's one-fourth of the amount voters would like to give us, but can't," Stokes saidoftheeffectsofcom pression.

Taxes to support the generalfund through the permanenttaxlevy areprojected to

drop nearly $12,000 because ofcompression,Stokes added.

He attributes the decline to the economic struggles still facing the region. ''We're hoping we're seeing the bottoming out and the worstofthe economic effects," he said.

Stokes hopes to reinstate stepincreasesand cost-ofliving increases to the stafF in next year's budget.

For the coming year, the budget proposal leaves his salary unchanged at

$71,718. The library comanagers, Carmen Wickam, who is employed full time and SaraDurflinger,wh ois PERS retired but continues to work half-time on contract, will earn $39,199 and

$18,921 respectively.

The proposed budget includes scheduled increases for three stafFmembers who do not qualify for benefits, at

a cost of $1,882.

"The stafF are working harder every year and not necessarily being able to be compensated for that gain," Stokes said.

Library usage has grown 4 percent annually over the past five years, and 2014 usage is up 6 percent over last year, Stokes said in his budget report.

New DVDs featuring recentmovie releasesarethe most popular, accounting for 45 percent ofthe materials checked out from the library, he said.

The public will probably notice the absence of new DVDs the most as a result

'There will be no decrease in the number of books coming out, but they will be a little bit older," Stokes said.

"People are voracious for new books," he said.'We have a treasure house of great and slightly older things as well."

Any"unanticipated" funding that comes to the library during the year will be directed to collection development, Stokes said.

Gary Dielman, Library Board chairman, said he is always concerned when the amount spent on books drops. ''We try to meet the standard in the library world ... on the percentage of our budgetthatgoesto books," he said."I would like to meet thattarget."

Dielman said he has appreciated the long tenure of former librarian Aletha Bonebrake, who now serves on the library's budget committee, and Stokes, who is in his seventh year as Baker County Library director.

'That stability is really nice," Dielman said.

BAKER CITY HERALD —3A

By Chris Collins ccollins©bakercityherald.com

Three Southern Oregon boys who walked away from the Elkhorn Adolescent Treatment Program late Monday night, are accused of stealing a pickup truck from Miller's Home Center and crashing it through a locked gate early the next morning.

Two Klamath Falls boys — a 17-yearold and a 14-year-old — and a 14-yearold Chiloquin boy, were taken into custody Tuesday and transported to a juvenile detention center at The Dalles, Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner sald.

Klamath County authorities authorized detaining the boys for violating terms of theirprobation,said District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff.

On Wednesday, the three were returnedtoKlamath County.They arebeing held at the juvenile detention center

there on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, criminal mischief and runaway status.

Lohner said the three left Elkhorn Adolescent Treatment Center, 3700 Midway Drive, at about midnight Monday. They are suspected of taking a 1988 Ford F150 pickup truck and driving it through a locked gate of the lumber yard at Miller's Home Center, 3815 Pocahontas Road.

Lohner said the three then drove the pickup truck, which sustained front-end damage and loss of its headlights in the crash, through Baker City to Highway 7. The pickup was found abandoned Tuesday at the weigh station just south of town.

After ditching the vehicle, the boys returned to Elkhorn Adolescent Treatment Center, which is not a secure facility, Lohner said. For that reason,

Elkhorn employees do not attempt to stop runaways, they simply report them to thepolice,he added.

Lohner said the boys probably were able to drive out of town unimpeded by police because officers were responding to Elkhorn to take the runaway report at about the same time the three would have been driving out of the city.

Lohner believes the boys had no trouble driving without headlights with the benefit of city street lights to guide them, but then abandoned the pickup when they left the city and couldn't see where they were going in the dark.

They returned to the juvenile treatment center early Tuesday morning and were taken into custody by Baker City Police.

Damage to the pickup truck is estimated at $3,625. The gate at the lumber yard also sustained $600 in damages, Lohner said.

Fire preparednessmeetingschednledjnne14 There will be a Community Fire Preparedness gathering Saturday, June 14,aimed at helping prepare homeowners in the wildland urbaninterface areas of Baker County for the upcoming fire season.

EDITORIAL

June 6, 1944, was a terrible day.

But at least Americans had the meager solace of understanding exactly why 2,500 of their soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen died while taking the first step toward liberating France from the Nazis.

It was an awful sacrifice, but a necessary one.

Today, 70 years later, we not only honor those who fought, and those who died, on the beaches of Normandy.

We also reAect on how vastly diferent the perceptions, and the realities, of America's military endeavors are now.

The current controversy surrounding President Obama's decision to secure the freedom of American prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl by releasing five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay illustrates the ambiguity that distinguishes America's War on Terror.

There are it seems more questions than answers.

Was Bergdahl an innocent victim, or was he so ashamed ofhis country and its military that he leR his post with the intention of being taken prisoner and, potentially, becoming a political pawn?

Was Obama's circumvention of the law requiring him to notify Congress at least 30 days before the hostage exchange necessary because the deal was tenuous, or was his a calculated decision designed to score political points regardless of the danger those five terrorists pose to innocent people?

In June 1944Americans were united in a way perhaps not replicated until September 2001. The fight to thwart Hitler's genocidal rampage was as righteous as it was dangerous.

It was, in author Studs Terkel's famous phrase

(and book title), the "GoodWar." Today, by contrast, we pontificate about Bowe Bergdahl's father's beard,and his speaking in Arabic and Pashto while standing beside Obama at the White House.

There is, to be sure, some consolation here. The Bergdahl afair is frustrating because it seems to have so little to do with why we're fighting.

But the death toll, at least, is much smaller.

w ocars, I own two vehicles, which have between them 12 forward gears.

Not so long ago you needed three or four rigs to get that many transmission cogs, but such is progress.

The unusual thing about my modest fleet, though, isn't the gearbox tally — showrooms abound these days with 7-, 8- and 9-speed transmissions — but rather the type.

Both are manuals, which is to say stickshifts.

It used to be you could tell oftentimes what kind of transmission a car had without wriggling onto the floor to count the pedals, which can give you a crick in the neck. Or worse, if you rise up too fast and whack your forehead on the fuse

block.

If the shift lever poked out from the floor, the transmission almost certainly was a manual.

But if the lever jutted from the right side of the steering column, the odds were better than even that it was an automatic. iThere were, to be sure, manual transmission-equipped cars with column-mounted shifters — the colloquial "three on the tree." But as ageneral ruletheposition ofthe shifter was compelling evidence.)

Over the past 30 yearsorso the manual transmission has fallen out

GUEST EDITORIAL

Oregon violates residents' privacy to access eir eal Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: You may nothave been aware ofit, but chances are the state of Oregon knows a great deal about your health these days, including the number of doctor visits you've had recently, the medications you take, the procedures you have had.

That's so because in 2009, lawmakers approved a bill allowing the state to collect from insurance companies personal health information on nearly everyone for whom they paid claims.

The information includes a surprising amount of identifiable personal information, including each person's date of birth, gender, ethnicity and location.

What lawmakers did not do that year was approve a measure that would have allowed individual Oregonianstheright torefuse to participate in the collection if they so choose.

i n formation

The state of Oregon argues that what's known as the All Payer All Claims database is a very good thing, indeed. The information thus collected will be used to help measure the success of the Oregon Health Policy Board in creating a healthier Oregon, officials say.

In the end, they argue, Oregonians will be healthier and pay less for the privilegeas a result.Besides,other states are doing the same thing.

Perhaps. But in an era when privacy is an increasingly elusive commodity, at what expense?

Without personal information, the state could easily learn how many surgical procedures were performed at every hospital in the state, what the outcome of each was and what the various doctors charged. It could find out how many of us routinely take Paxil and how many are using prescription

of favor, and the automatic transmission shift lever's migration to the floor is nearly complete.

But unless the shift pattern is printed prominently on the top of the lever, it's awfully hard to distinguish between an automatic and a manual based solely on the lever's location.

Judging by a variety of estimates I've read, something between 4 percent and 7 percent of the new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. have manual transmissions. After searching in vain for more than a month earlier this spring to find a manual-equippedMazda 6 sedan, the newer of our two cars, these paltry figures don't surprise me.

What does surprise me is how relativel y rapid theprogresswas toward our current disdain for the hassle of pushing a clutch pedal.

In 1987, which seems to me not so terr ibly distant,about 30 percent of cars rolling out of American showrooms were stickshifts.

The subsequent predominance of the automatic transmission is but one measure of drivers' increasing annoyance at being bothered with

details such as selecting gears while they're driving.

When you're simultaneously texting and shufKng through Pandora channels and sipping an iced latte,you can'tbe expected to decide whether second gear or third is more appropriatefortheapproaching curve.

Simply steering keeps most drivers occupied; and even that task is too much for some, judging by the police blotter.

I don't mean to suggest there's a conspiracy at work here. The demise of the stickshift doesn't derivefrom a corporate cabalaimed at denying drivers the pleasure of executing a perfectly rev-matched downshift.

The manual transmission has had a fair chance in the marketplace, I believe, but the truth is the engineers, with the aid of everimproving computer controls, have devised automatic transmissions that pretty much negate the stickshift's traditional advantages.

To return briefly to 1987 iand having perused that year's hairstyles, who wants to stay any longer?l, that year's Honda Accord was ratedat 31mpg when equipped with a stickshift, and 27 mpg with an automatic.

True, the personal information allows researchersto link yesterday's X-ray to next week's knee replacement surgery.

That may have some value, but not, we suspect, as much as state offic ialssay itdoes.

And, whileOregon has farmed out itsdata collection to aprivate company, its record both with complex computer systems and writing contracts that do what supporters say they will is sketchy.

In the end, health care is not a matter of national security, though the data collected for All Payer All Claims is arguably more invasive than the National Security Agency's broad sweeps of telephone records. That's wrong, and it' s a practice the state should end sooner rather than later.

orm se ated faster.

Those advantages, combined with manuals being cheaper, made fora strong argument in favor ofa stickshift.

Today, by contrast, an Accord with an automatic tops the stickshift by 2 mpg — 30 vs. 28. And the automatic is a tad quicker getting to 60 mph.

The most compelling reason to buy a car with a stickshift now, it seems to me, is that it's simply more fun.

That's what motivated my wife and I, anyway — we both enjoy the mechanical precision of guiding a gear-lever through itsgates,ofdeciding whether to downshift when takinga corner instead ofletting a microchip choose for us.

I'll concede, though, that this preferenceisa decidedly personal matter.

The benefit sofa modern automatic, by contrast, are numerical and thus beyond debate. If you can go two miles more on each gallon of gas you'llsave money — maybe even enough, over the life of the car, to offset the higher initial cost of the automatic ione aspect of the automatic vs. manual comparison that hasn't changed since 1987l.

Mechanically speaking, a manual transmission is a simpler device

than an automatic, and generally is less likely to require expensive repairs or maintenance such as fluid replacement.

But though the engineers haven't completelyerased that difference, they've come awfully close. Modern automatic transmissions, like most of the other major mechanical componentsoftoday'scars,typically perform flawlessly for at least 100,000 miles in exchange for little more than an occasional look at the dipstick.

In general I endorse the technological evolution of the automobile.

I much prefer flipping a switch to raise and lower the windows as opposed to spinning a handle ialthough I notice that the term "rolling down the windows" seems destined to live on despite its increasing inaccuracy).

But I still believe that cars, for all their utility, are far more than appliances, and that driving can be, and should be, fun.

And executing a fast, smooth 1-2 shift, a feat which requires simultaneous dexterity with both feet and your right hand, is a lot more fun than pulling a lever back to the "0' detent and leaving it there until you park.

• Air conditioning fails inside AT%T Center, pushing temperature to 90 degrees and contributing to leg cramps that kept Miami's LeBron James on bench late in game

By Brian Mahoney AP Basketball Writer

SAN ANTONIO — "Beat the Heat!" had a whole new meaning in a sweltering start to the NBA Finals.

The San Antonio Spurs handled the conditions, and the team, and it sure helped when a suffering LeBron James couldn't make it to the finish.

Tim Duncan had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the Spurs beat the Heat 110-95 on Thursday night in Game 1 at steamy AT&T Center.

With an air conditioning failure making it feel like a sauna and causing James to battle cramps that knocked him out of the decisive stretch, the Spurs pulled away to win the opener of the first finals rematch since

ally hot out there."

James, who had cramping issues two years ago in the finals, had to ask for a break in the fourth quarter and was getting treatment during a 15-4 Spurs run that turned around the game.

James came back in and made a basket that cut it to two points with about 4 minutes left, but couldn't even run back on defense, promptly putting his hand up and lingering at the baseline until help arrived to take him off for good.

The summer schedule for the battalion will be especially difficult for the Baker City unit, Dean said.

"They have to support four different company-sized elements, plus the scouts. It's a huge job so the problem for them is how do they take theirlim itedresources and develop a way to support the maneuver units," Dean said.

The battalion's annual training schedule — three weeks in August — will present the unit with a number of new challenges and trigger a higher tempo of operation than in the past.

JOSEPH — Imitating nature is tried and true in the world of natural resource science.

The Native Americans taught early settlers to bury fish heads when planting corn,and fishermen throughout the ages cleaned their fish and returned the entrails to the stream. The nutrients left behind are just how nature would have it.

When fish die after spawning,their bodiesdecompose, leaving behind nutrients fed on by newly hatched fish, bears and macroinvertebrates. This spring, the Joseph Nez Perce Fisheries beganreleasingsteelhead carcassesinto Little Sheep and Big Sheep creeks, tributaries to the Imnaha River.

Jim Harbeck, Joseph Nez Perce Fisheries manager, said more than 300 animal species benefit from the nutrient enhancement.

A few miles up Forest Road 39 off the Imnaha Highway, Harbeck and Fisheries Biologist Neal Espinosa make their first stop to distributethe 12 carcassesin Little Sheep Creek that they picked up from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife steelhead hatchery in Enterprise. Espinosa said during an annual operating plan meeting attended by fisheries agency partners in the fall, he asked ifhe could take any of the steelhead carcasses not used for brood stockor forfood distribution to try out this time-proven method of reintroducing nutrients into the environment.

'The fish released are past theirprime forfood distribution, but from our perspective these fish have value," Espinosa said.

Any surplus fish not used for the hatchery program or givento localfood banks are usually buried at the hatchery, said Espinosa, but SeeFisheries / Prrge 2B

The NationalWilderness Preservation System, which was established by the Wilderness Act of 1964, turns 50 years old this year. As part of the celebration, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is introducing many opportunities for backcountry enthusiasts to honor the wilderness' 50th anniversary.

• Wilderness Act turns 50 this year with plenty of events to mark the occasion

By Jayson Jacoby The Wilderness Act of 1964, which established the National Wilderness Preservation System, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

The United State Forest Service manages 440 wilderness areas and is hostingavariety oflocaleventsand celebrations in honor of the golden anniversary of the Wilderness Act. "Each of the seven eastern Oregon wilderness areas offers a unique contribution to our nation's wilderness legacy.

These aretruly specialplaces protectedfortheAmerican people," said John Laurence, Wallowa-Whitm an forest supervisor.

Northeastern Oregon boasted a wealth of wilderness long before Congress got around to writing bills and passingactsintended topreserve the primitive nature of the nation's more remote chunks of public land.

And almost half a century after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the original Wilderness Act, on Sept.

3, 1964, ourregion boaststhebiggest wilderness in Oregon.

That's the Eagle Cap, which covers 361,000 acres in the Wallowa Mountains,an area thatincludes partsof Baker, Union and Wallowa counties.

Itsname derives from the 9,595-foot peak that's near the geographic center of the Wallowas iyou might hear the range referred to as "The Eagles" in Baker County).

The Eagle Cap is one of Oregon's original wilderness areas, receiving that designation when LBJ scrawled his signature in the White House Rose Garden in that long-ago September.

But the U.S. Forest Service, which manages the area, had long since acknowledged the special qualities of this land ofserrated granite peaks,dense SeeAct / Prrge 3B

en I was young, I used to rodeo a lot.One year I got on 165 bareback horses. Some days I got on three to five in one arena but still I traveled a lot. As a kid I didn't have a decent car, so it's a wonder I didn't break down more than I did and have a whole list ofhorror stories. I've really been pretty blessed in this area.

Since trucks do break down and it can be serious in the backwoods, let's discuss that today. I've noticed that 90 percent of the time my truck starts sounding a little weirdbeforeitwhacks.Getit checked out. The problem is, many times it occurs literally days before you leave. Get it checked before you leave, though. It won't get any easier in the woods.

Here's a list, and history, of wilderness designations in Northeastern Oregon EAGLE CAP Designated as wilderness in 1940; Wilderness Act of 1964 placed the area in the NationalWilderness Preservation System; now totals 359,991 acres.

HELLS CANYON Established in 1975; the wilderness features133,170 acres in Oregon and 83,811 acres in Idaho.

NORTH FORK JOHN DAY Designated in 1984; comprised of four units, three on the Umatilla National "; Forest, one on theWallowa-Whitman National Forest; totals 120,560 acres. "

Not smart. In the woods you need good traction. They also puncture easier when worn.

The worst I've ever had was eight years ago on a moose hunt.Iwoke up threemornings in a row with flats. I had to go to town at lunch every day and either purchase a tireor have a flatfixed.

Ed Sweet was bear hunting on rocky roads and punctured two tires in one afternoon. Now I carry two spares. Pick up a used tire at yourlocaltire shop orgoto a junkyard and pick up a tire and rim semi cheap.

I've never had trouble with my 4-wheeler but it'd be smartto have a spare.W e run overa lotofsticks and sharp rocks. That could be bad if you had a flat 15 miles from camp. How would you getback to camp? Icarry a can of flat fixer.

MONUMENT ROCK Designatedin1984; encompasses 20,079 acres from the Malheur National Forest onto the adjacent Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

WENAHA-TUCANNON Designated in 1978; includes approximately 65,114 acres in Oregon and 111,443 acres in Washington

STRAWBERRY MOUNTAIN Designated in 1964; features 68,700 acres and includes the headwaters of Pine, Indian, Strawberry, Canyon, Bear, Lake, Wall, Roberts and Big Creek.

They really help your traction. They may even be needed on the way home. Always carry an ax and a saw.

When the wind whips up it can blow down trees. One trip to the Frank Church Wilderness we had three trees and a log blocking the path behind us. I had my big, stout nephews with me so we were able to move them, but ifthey'd ofbeen bigger we would have been in trouble.

Carry a shovel I was out whistle pig hunting last year and bottomed out in a badger hole. Luckily I had a shovel so I jacked up my truck, filled in the hole and off I went. Many times a road may wash out or you SeeClaycomb / Page 2B

NORTH FORK UMATILLA Designated in 1984; is the smallest wilderness in Northeast Oregon. It encompasses only 20,299 acres in Umatilla and Union counties.

Iron, steel may distort'map sense'

of young steelhead

By Josh Benham WesCom News Service

By Michelle Klampe

If a local angler has been bugging you to get out and cast a line with him or her, this weekend may be the time to take them up on their offer.

This Saturday and Sunday, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will put on its annual Free Fishing Weekend all over the state. On this two-day event, fishing licenses, tags and endorsements are not required to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon where fishing is legal. Normal regulations on fishing limits will still be in place.

"It certainly gives some folks a chance to get out and fish for the first time," said ODFW Fish Communications Coordinator Jessica Sall."It also gives existing anglers a chance to bring along a friend or family member that is new to fishing. Then that person can give it a try without having to make a commitment and purchase a license and see how they enjoy it."

Or perhaps you have let your fishing rod collect dust in your attic or closet. This weekend gives that person an opportunity to get back in the swing of things.

"It also might be for someone who hasn't fished in a while and just wants to take advantage of the gorgeous weather," Sall sard.

This Saturday and Sunday, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be putting on its annual Free Fishing Weekend all over the state. On this two-day event, fishing licenses, tags and endorsements are not required to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon where fishing is legal. Normal regulations on fishing limits will still be in place. free weekend, the state is offering organized fishing eventsatlocations allover that offer people numerous options. At the majority of these places, fishing gear, bait and helpful instruction will be provided for the user.

In Northeast Oregon alone, there are four such events, all on Saturday, that beginners can attend.

Wallowa County is holding its free fishing day at Marr Pond from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Baker County will put on a clinic at the Highway 203 pond from 9 a.m. to noon. Umatilla County's

eventtakes place starting at 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Twin Ponds. Grant County will hold its event at McHaley Pond from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

'These are for the novice that maybe doesn't have any fishing gear to take advantage of," Sall said."It's a way forsomeone togetafeelfor fishing."

Sall said the instruction aspect will aid people who are hesitant to pick up fishing if they are somewhat green to the sport.

"It will help people make that first cast, to find out if they are fishing in the right

spot," she said."It certainly m akes it easierfor people to get into it."

There will also be fishing derbiesforkidsatTwin Ponds, Rainbow Lake and West Evans Pond, all from 8 a.m. to noon, complete with games,prizes,education and more that will help get children more involved.

The weekend also coincides with State Parks Day on Saturday, where camping is offered without having to purchasea permit.Activities such as guided hikes and barbecues will be available to visitors.

In 1930, the agency deemed part oftoday'sEagle Cap Wilderness as a"primitive area," the term then in vogue.

A decade later, in 1940, the ForestServicestarted referringto thearea asa wilderness.

But it wasn't until 1964 and the passage of the Wilderness Act that the Eagle Cap, and dozens of other areas across the nation, were endowed with the now-familiar protections of wilderness status.

Chief among those is that motor vehicles and other machines powered by internal combustion engines — chain saws, for instance — are prohibited.

So are bicycles and hang gliders.

Which is not to say there are notracesofpeople in wilderness areas.

The Eagle Cap, in common with most wilderness areas, featuresan extensive network of trails open to hikers and horseback riders.

There are hundreds of trail signs and dozens of wooden bridges in the wilderness.

The Eagle Cap became Oregon's biggestwilderness only after a couple of growth spurts, in the form oflater action by Congress that both created new wilderness areas and expanded ones from the original1964 roster.

In 1964 the Eagle Cap covered about 220,000 acres.

Congress added 73,400 acres in 1972, and another 67,700 acres in 1984.

The Eagle Cap Wilderness was something of an oddity in Northeastern Oregon for itsfi rstdecade orso.

Today the three national forests ofthe Blue Mountains — Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur — manage sevenwilderness areas totaling 983,000 acres.

DtnracIED n UNaERaL UCLICKFQRUFr SUNDAY, JUNE 8, 2014 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you tend to laugh when thing are bleak, and laugh even harder when they are not. Indeed, laughter to you is, as the adage has it, the best medicine, whether you are sick or not! You are a highly intelligent individual, able to conceptualize the most complicated notions and present them to others in a waythat they can understand. You are also highly instinctive, and it is this contrast between your gut and your mind that definesyou as a hard-core Gemini native.

You are continually trying to balance what goes on in your head with what goes on in your heart, and you try to tell both how to behave, while listening to each in its turn.

COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France — Ceremonies to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day are drawing thousands ofvisitorsto the cemeteries, beaches and stone-walled villages of Normandy this week, including some of the few remaining survivorsofthe largestseaborneinvasion evermounted.

World leaders and dignitaries including President Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II will gather to honor the more than 150,000 American, British, Canadian and other Allied D-Day veterans who risked and gave their lives to defeat Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.

For many visitors, the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial with its 9,387 white marble tombstones on a blufFoverlooking the siteofthe battle'sbloodiest fighting at Omaha Beach is the emotionalcenterpiece of pilgrimages to honor the tens of thousands of men killed on D-Dayand the months of fighting afterward.

D-Day veteran Clair Martin, 93, said he's come back to Omaha Beach three times in the last 70 years — "four if you count the time they were shooting at me."

The San Diego, California resident landed on D-Day with the 29th Infantry Division and said he kept fighting until he reached the Elbe River in Germany the following April."I praise God I made it and thatwe've never had another World War," he said.

By Lizzie Johnson The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — Thirteen needles are simultaneously zinging in and out of Adam Metzger's shoulder.

The 27-year-old is unrumed. He stares unblinkingly out the storefront window of Taboo Tattoo, a studio in the Bishop Arts District.

To his right, Cody Biggs shades blue into a square of the Texas state flag.

His movements are sure, even.

The buzzing suddenly falls silent.

Biggs pauses to dunk the handpiece into a thimble-sized plastic cup of ink, then turns back to his canvas.

Metzger's shoulder is pink and pufFy, weeping streams of ink and blood.

"How are you doing, buddy?" Biggs asks, rubbing on ointment in counterclockwise circles.

"Itdoesn'tfeelgood,man, " Metzger responds. "But I've definitely felt worse pain."

Plenty of people know what he's been through. As of 2012, 1 in 5

So far this year, five people have come down with measles in Oregon, compared with six in all oflast year.

U.S. health officials have seen a similar trend across the country, with 288 cases reported through May 23, more than in any year since the illness was declared eliminated in 2000.

The cases in Oregon —and the rest oftheUnited States— can betraced to foreign countries. Either the patients traveledthemselves orwereexposed to someone who had been abroad.

• Soft sound of ringing bells sent through GRH's messaging system when a newborn arrives at Family Birthing Center Observer staff

The next time you are visiting Grande Ronde Hospital, pay close attention if you hear sweet sounds of gentle bells softly ringing through the hospital's overhead messaging system. A lullaby now plays to welcome every new baby born at the hospital. cWe aregetting a lotof goodfeedback from patients and visitors.

For more than two years, GRH had been considering ideasfora sweetand simple way to honor new babies right at birth, by announcing it discreetly to the entire hospital. Doug Romer, executivedirector ofpatient care services at GRH, came up with the idea of playing a lullaby. Romer, Ford and the hospital's Family Birthing Center stafFbegan the search for music. It was harder than they thought to find that signature piece. cWe had not been able to find just the right music for more than a year. We wanted it to be very special — somewhat traditional and soft, but also unique. And, of course, we wanted the opinion of our birthing center nurses because they know our new moms and babies best," Romer said.

Last Christmas, one of the birthing center's nurses approached Romer with what she thought was a perfect fit.

Peg Brown, who has been a bell ringer since 1998, has played with local bell choir Bellagio for many years.

• About 14.5 million Americans have survived cancer, and a study predicts the number of cancer survivors in U.S. will grow by 30 percent over the next decade

By Karen Kaplan Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — A new reportidenti fiesa group of Americans thatis expected to grow by 30 percent over the next decade: cancer survivors.

As of Jan. 1, there were nearly 14.5 million people alive in the United States who had been diagnosed with some type of cancer. By 2024, that igureisprojected toreach f 18.9 million, according to a reportreleasedthisweek by the American Cancer Society.

The authors of the reportfiom the ACS and the National Cancer Institute — define a cancer"survivor" as anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer and is still alive. That indudes patients who are undergoing treatment as well as those who have finished treatmentand areconsidered cancer-6ee.

The growth in cancer survivors is not an indication that cancerratesarerising;in fact, the rates iadjusted for agel have actually declined over the past10years,thereportnotes.

But since the U.S. population is both aging and growmg, the total number of cancer patients is bound to increase.

In 2014, half of the cancer survivors were diagnosed beforethe age of66 and half werediagnosed after,the report says. But the median age at diagnosis varies greatly depending on the type of cancersomeone gets.Forpatients with acute lymphocytic leuke-

Today, 64percent ofall cancer survivors have lived at least five years since their diagnosis. That includes the 15 percent of people who have livedatleast20yearssince being told they have cancer. A great many of these survivors have gone on to live long lives, with 46 percent of them reaching their 70th birthday.

Among women, survivors ofbreastcancerarebyfarthe largest group — they make up 41percentoffem alecancer survivors in 2014. Survivors ofuterinecancerand colorectalcancer each account for8 percent of the total, followed by melanoma i7 percent) and thyroid cancer i6 percent). By 2024, colorectal cancer survivors will overtake uterine cancer survivors, though not

by much, according to the report' sprojections.

For both men and women, all of the 10 most common typesofcancer survivorsin 2014 will still be on the Top 10 listin 2024,thereportsays.

Many types of cancer are about as common in women as in men. For instance, survivorsofcolorectalcancers accountfor 9 percent of male cancer survivors and 8 percentoffem ale cancer survivors. Similarly, survivors of melanoma account for 8 percentofm ale cancersurvivorsand 7 percent offem ale cancer survivors. People who have been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma accountfor 4 percent ofboth male and female cancer survivors, and those who have been diagnosed with lung and bronchus cancers make up 3 percent of cancer survivors ofboth genders.

"The growing number of cancer survivors in the U.S. makes it increasingly important to understand the unique medical and psychosocial needs ofsurvivors," ACS epidemiologist Carol DeSantis, the lead author of the report,said in a statement."Cancer survivors face numerous, important hurdles createdby afractured health caresystem, poorintegrationofsurvivorship care,and financial and other barriers to quality care, particularly among the medically underserved."

For children and pets alike, this makes taking a dip in your backyard poolseem more attractivethan ever.

Although your children may be competent swimmers, do not assume that your petsare.Preventing poolaccidents for your pets takes adequate planning and careful supervision.

Limiting their access to the pool is an easy and effective way to prevent accidental fall-ins.

"A good gate will be the best way to limit pet access to the pool," said Dr. James Barr, assistant professoratthe Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medi-

cine & Biomedical Sciences."Keeping the door closed at all times is important for children and dogs alike, as is only allowing them to be in the pool area supervised."

Contrary to popular belief, not all dogs are efficient swimmers. This common misconception can be life-threatening to your pet.

"The dogsthat areconsidered to be brachycephalic, such as English bulldogs, American bulldogs, and French bulldogs, are notoriously bad swimmers," said Barr.

Therefore, itissm artto teach these dogs how to swim and exit the pool safely to prevent drowning.

LOSANGELESCommercials forelectronic cigarettes have become so ubiquitous that millions of American teens have seen them since 2012, a new study says.

About 4 out of 5 of the TV ads seen by these young viewers were for blu eCigs, a brand that was purchased by tobacco giant Lorillard Inc. in April 2012. Though the ads are ostensibly aimed at adults, they employ language that m akes e-c igarettesseem desirable to teens, researchers write in a study published Monday by the journal Pediatrics.

Electronic cigarettesare battery-powered devices that allow users to inhale nicotine vapor. The devices have generated billions of dollars in sales but remain controversial .Advocates fore-cigaretteslikethat the vapor contains fewer toxins than the smoke from traditional cigarettes, and some studies suggest they can help smokers kick the habit. But public health advocates contend that e-cigarettes get young people hooked on nicotine, increasing the risk that they will become regular smokers. The devices also undermine efforts to make smoking seem taboo and may make it harder for smokers to quit by keeping them hooked on nicotine, they say.

Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced its intention to prohibit sales of e-cigarettes to minors, the agency has not taken steps to limit advertising aimed at kids. The authors of the new report wanted to quantify how often teens and young adults saw ecigarette ads on TV. To do so, they turned to data from Nielsen, the company that keeps track of what Americans are watching. The data reported in the study was in the form of"target ratingpoints"or TRPs, a measurement that combines the proportion of viewers exposed to an ad and the number of times it may be seen.

The researchers found that nationally televised e-cigarette commercials

were not particularly common through the first half of 2012. But in the second half of 2012 and the first nine months of 2013the period after Lorillard entered the industrysuchadvertising increased dramatically.

Between 2011 and 2013, the TRPs for viewers between the ages of 12 and 17 rose by 256 percent, according to the study.

In the year that ended Sept. 30, 2013, those TRPs were high enough that 80 percent of teens could have seen 13e-cigarette commercials, on average. Those TRPs also could work out to half of all teens viewing an averageof21e-cigarette ads over the course of a year, or 10 percent of viewers watching an average of 105commercials over a year.

The researchers also calculated the exposure for young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 and found that it increased by 321 percent between 2011 and 2013. The TRPs for this group were high enough to allow half of these young adults to see 35 e-ci garettecommercials, on average, over the course of a year.

About 75 percent of these commercials aired on cable TV channels, includ-

ing AMC iwhich aired 8 percent of them), Country Music Television i6.1 percent), Comedy Central i5.9 percent), WGN America i5.4 percent) TV Land and

VH1 4oth 5.3 percent), the study authors found.

The commercials also ran during network shows that are popular among teens, including"The Bachelor," "Big Brother" and "Survivor," according to the study.

Among the nationally televisedads seen by teens, 82 percent were for blu eCigs, the data show. For young adult viewers, ads for blu eCigs accounted for 80 percentofthetotal.

The study was conducted by researchers at RTI International in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park and a colleague at the Florida Department of Health in Tallahassee.

Funding was provided by the state's Tobacco Free Florida program.

The 16-week course, which is followed by monthly meetings, includes information on diet and exercise. But more than anything else, the program sets out to change lifestyles in a way that is supportive and nonjudgmental.

Vicki Olejnik, who is nearing the end of the program, initially thought that 16 weeks was a long time.

"My daughter said,'Gosh, Mom is like the Energizer Bunny,' " Olejnik said.

Olejnik, who is 69 and works for Milwaukee County, was contacted

by UnitedHealthcare after a health screening that is part of the county's wellness program. Olejnik's mother and grandmotherdeveloped diabetes. And she knew her blood sugar was high.

The program is an outgrowth of a study by the CDC and the National Institutes of Health that compared the effectiveness ofa diabetesdrug with a program to help people lose at least 7 percent oftheirweight through diet, exercise and individual counseling.

The results, published in 2002, showed that the weight loss reduced the risk ofdeveloping diabetesby 58 percent over three years, compared with 31 percent for people who took the drug metformin.

Researchers at Indiana University then modified the program and worked with the YMCA in Indianapolis toadoptthemodel forsm all groups.

The CDC provided funding for

a pilot program at several YMCA sites. In 2010, UnitedHealth Group proposed taking the program nationwide and offering it as a benefit in its health plans.

Between one-third and two-thirds ofthe people with prediabetes are likely to develop type 2 diabetes within six years, compared with 5 percent of those with normal blood sugar. And the potential benefits of preventingthediseaseare clear.

According to the article in Health Affairs, an analysis of UnitedHealthcare claims data found: The average total annual cost for an adult with employer coverage who was diagnosed with diabetes

was $11,700 in 2009, compared with $4,400 for an adult who did not have the disease.

The average annual cost for an adult with diabetes who developed complications was $20,700.

Annual health-care spending attributable to prediabetes or diabetes could rise from $206 billion in 2011 to $512 billion by 2021. Almost twothirds of the cost would be incurred

by Medicare and Medicaid because of the higher prevalence of the disease among people covered by the programs.

When Jeannie Entin was pregnant, she insisted that anyone who planned to visit her newbornbaby fi rstget a boostershottow ard otf whooping cough.

Entin knew the mandate would cause some eye rolling.

Already, family members suspected she was reading too many pregnancy and parenting books.Most adults, meanwhile, are notoriously lax when it comes to updating vaccinations.

But pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratorytractinfection that can turn serious in infants. When Entin explained that adults are the most common source of the illness, she found most people were

happy to comply.

"Iwould rather regret people thinking I'm overprotectiveoreven alittle crazy than toregretnotprotecting my baby," said Entin, 35, of San Jose, Calif.

In an effort to protect newborns and increase adult immunization rates, some obstetricians and pediatricians are promoting the concept of"cocooning, "orvaccinating anyone who comes into contact with the infant.

"It's still rather new but catching on," said Dr. Bill SchatIner, a professor of medicine in the Division ofInfectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

Research suggests that newborn babies are most likely to catch whooping cough trom someone in their own home. To reduce the risk, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that pregnant women receive a combination vaccine that contains tetanus, diphtheriaand pertussis,also known as Tdap, during every pregnancy.

In studies where researchershave been ableto pinpoint a cause, mothers are responsiblefor30 to 40 percent of the infections in babies. The restofthetime ,otherpeople can make the babies sick, including siblings, grandparents, caregivers and those well-meaning visitors.

coverage, SchatIner said.

But getting everyone on board can be a challenge.

"It's difficult to have to ask," said Leah Sarago, a strength and conditioning specialist based in Fort Worth, Texas, who recently had her second

child.

She planned to ask family members who might be staying with her to get vaccinated — her parents and sister already had the boosterbutstopped short ofrequesting that visiting fiiends get immunized.

"It's hard enough to get fiiends and family to use hand sanitizer before touching the baby," she said.

New mom Jill Manrique, of Evanston, Ill., had a home birth in February and asked everyone who was present during the delivery to get the Tdap and influenza vaccines.

One family member didn't vaccinate her kids, leading to an awkward situation, she said."I'm still pretty vigilant about it with visitors both adults and children," Manrique said.

Whooping cough starts with coldlike symptoms and sometimes a mild cough or fever.

can rest assured that fully vaccinated A children .Parentsalmost certainly won't contract the disease during an outbreak, says Dr. Sunil Sood, chairman of pediatrics at Southside Hospital in Bay Shore and attending physician in infectious diseases at Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park on Long Island.

Usually a child is inoculated at 12 months and receives a second dose between ages 4 and 6. Those two doses protect for life, Sood says. "No vaccine is 100 percent protective, but if you've had two doses, almost no one will get the measles," he says. And if a vaccinated child did contract measles, it would be a much milder case, he says.

The susceptible childhood population is babies younger than 12 months, and children whose parents have chosen not to immunize them, Sood says. "It is a very dangerous infection to get," Sood says. "It can produce pneumonia, it can produce encephalitis in the brain." It rarely causes death in the United States because of the health care available here, he says.

There is a possible serious late side effect, Sood adds.

In rare cases, a child who had measles can years later develop a type of encephalitis known as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, or SSPE, which can cause seizures and bizarre behavior.

The study was published this week in the journal Health Affairs. It was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Healthy Eating Research Program.

The group tapped into existing databases to create a model of food purchasing, food consumption and purchasing choices and trade-offs by SNAP recipients.

They then looked at how those factors would change under two conditions: a rule that would prohibit the use offood stamps to buy sugar-sweetened beverages and a program that would remit 30 percent of the cost of tresh fiuits and vegetables back into recipients' accounts — essentially subsidizing their produce purchases.

After calculating the dietary changes that would result trom recipients' changed buying patterns, the study authors modeled their effect on the health of the SNAP program's low-income population, which is somewhat more obese than the general population and carries a far higher burden of Type 2 diabetes.

On a daily basis, the average SNAP recipient takes in 157 calo riesfrom sugar-sweetened beverages,versus 140 calories for a matched comparison group of non-SNAP recipients. A ban on the purchase of sweetened drinks with food stamps would prompt SNAP recipients to increase their purchase and consumption of fruit juices, the authors calculated.

But they reckoned that the average net caloric intake would decline by 11.4 calories per day. And a prohibition on the purchase of sugary drinks with food stamps would drivedown the average recipient' sglycemic load — a measureofblood sugar response todiet — by 2.7 grams

per day.

Over 10years,the average food stamp recipient' sweight would decline by 1.15 pounds as a result. Roughly 422,000 people would not become obese — the equivalent of a 2.4 percentdeclinefrom current obesity prevalence rates among SNAP participants.

And over a decade, 240,000 SNAP recipients would not be diagnosedwith Type 2 diabetes,a 1.7 percent decline in the incidence of the metabolic disorder, which increases by two to four times the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Subsidizing the purchase of fruits and vegetable with food stamps resulted in health gains that were somewhat harder to measure. It certainly increased the purchase and consumption of fruits and vegetables among a population even less likely than the general population to take in therecommended fi veportions a day.

Although the program puts food on many American tables, the health and nutrition status of food stamp recipients is poorer than average. The policy change would increasethefruitand vegetableintake ofthe average recipient by about a quarter-cup per day. That change would, in turn, boosttheproportion ofrecipientsmeet ing federal recommendations for daily fruit and vegetable consumption trom a dismal 1.3 percent to a slightly less dismal 3.4 percent.

The fruit and vegetable subsidy would not change the average number of calories consumed by the average food stamp recipient, nor change the average glycemic load.

Consequently, the policy had no noticeable effect on the incidenceofobesity orType 2 diabetes among recipients.
