Addison also spent two years working at the Center for Human Development in La Grandefrom 2001 to 2003. Since September, he's changed direction and instead of investigating news tips, he's ferreting out ways to help find jobs for his clients— or in some cases even createjobsforthem. Addison explained his role to the Baker City Council at its Oct. 14 meeting. He asked the city to consider hiring from his pool of workers who he says are "motivated to get up and get jobs." He said he also has met with Greg Smith, Baker County Economic Development director, to consider ways that Addison's clients could possibly work with community partners. Smith has offeredtotrain peoplewho are interested in how to develop their own small businesses and provide contractedservicestoem ployers. Addison suggested, for example, that instead of city employees being called away from their job duties at a higher wage to perform tasks such as washing city vehicles, city officials might consider hiring one of his clients at a lower rate through a contract.

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Nov. 10, 1964 The grand opening of the Royal Cafe's "Shangrila Room" will be held at 5 p.m. today, the owners, Jack Eng and HenryWong announced today. The addition to the Cafe includes a cocktail lounge, a dining room, and a private banquet room with seating capacity of more than100 persons. Ryder Brothers Stationery Store, moved to a new location recently, will have its grand opening Friday, it was reported. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Nov. 10, 1989 The new Powder River Correctional Facility became just that today with the arrival of13 inmates from the Baker County Jail. Gov. Neil Goldschmidt will dedicate the prison at 2:30 p.m.Wednesday during an open house.The DemocratHerald will publish a special section about the prison Monday. The public is invited to take a walking tour of the facility. Nor pictures of inmates will be allowed, unless the inmates cannot be identified or the inmates sign a release form. And no weapons or alcohol will be allowed into the prison, said Superintendent Dan Johnson. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Nov. 10, 2004 If you seek shelter in Geiser Pollman Park this winter you might want to burrow beneath the rnerr-gg-rronn. City officials plan to tear down the covered picnic structure on the park's west side within the next10 days, said Tim Collins, the city's public works director. But a new, and much larger, shelter will rise on the same site, probably next year. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Nov. 18, 2013 The fish dart from side to side, trying to escape the eyes on the other side of the glass. But the students are tasked with observing the behavior of these fish, so the swimmers better get used to being watched. These fish are the control group, whose size will be measured against the fingerlings across the room that are part of an aquaponics project at Eagle Cap innovative high school in Baker City.

Hunlinglonmanrollshisfour-wheeler

LOCAL BRIEFING HBC getting ready for Christmas season

By Chris Collins ccollins©bakercityherald.com

A 79-yer-old Huntington man was hurt Friday morning when he rolled his four-wheeler in the Pedro Mountainarea offRye Valley Road. Robert Witter was taken by Life Flight helicopter to a Boise hospital about 11 a.m. Friday, said Sheriff Mitch Southwick. Witter was traveling up a trail by himself on his four-wheeler when the vehicle flipped about 7:30 Friday morning, Southwick said. Witter was

able to call out on his cellphone and reached his friend, Steve Stacy of Huntington, who called 9-1-1. Stacy directed the Huntington ambulance and search and rescue team to the location where the crash took place, Southwick said. The Huntington ambulance crew was taken by a four-wheel drive vehicle to within about a half mile of Witter. The rescue team then traveled in on four-wheelers and with the help of the Life Flight and ambulance crews and Witter's hunting partners,

was able to load Witter onto the Sheriff's Department's ATV rescue trailer. Wi tterwas transported on the trailer another quarter mile to the spot where the helicopter had landed, Southwick said. Witter couldn't move when he made his call for help, but he was able to communicate with the sheriff's offi ce as therescue effortwas organizing, Southwick said. More information about Witter's condition was not available in time forthisreport.

DemocraticwinsNushlegislature lefl SALEM iAPl — They are only two seats, but the Democratic gains in the Oregon Legislature could make a worldofdifference. Atter picking up one seat in the state House and one in the Senate, Democrats have moved the Legislature decisively to the left. With a razor-thin margin, a second Senate seat also could flip to the Democrats' control. The partisan shift opens the door to gun control, environmental regulations, votingrights and other ideas that liberals have tried and failed to pass in the last four years. "Our political plan for this election cycle was really all aboutestablishing a proconservation majority in the state Senate," said Doug Moore,director ofthe Oregon League of Conservation Voters."And that happened." Democratic Sen. Alan Bateswas re-elected in a

closely divided Southern Oregon district, and DemocratSara Gelser defeated Republican Sen. Betsy Close in the Corvallis and Albany area. Those victories give Democrats, at worst, a 17-13 edge in the Senate, up from the 16-14 margin they have had for the past four years. Centrist Democratic Sen. Betsy Johnson occasionally sides with all 14 Republicans, particularly on business, environmental and gun legislation, locking the Senate in a 15-15 tie. Sixteen votes are required to pass a bill. With the outcome of one Senate race still uncertain, the numbers could shift even more. In Washington County, Republican Sen. Bruce Starr and Democratic challenger Chuck Riley were separatedby just13 votesoutof 36,000, with thousands left to count. Democrats won nearly ev-

GUEST EDITORIAL

san ar BW 1C

,P'

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Last week the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality had a public hearing on its low carbon fuel standards, a scheme to push Oregonians to use cleaner fuel. It will do so because back in February the governor asked it to, although the law requiring the standards sunsets next year. The standards themselves cannot be met, says Paul Romain, a lawyer and lobbyist for the Oregon Fuels Association, which, he notes, sells ethanol and other alternatives right alongside gasoline and diesel. He argues alternatives are not well-enough developed to meet demand.

GUEST EDITORIAL

The DEQ disputes that claim. Cory Wind of the agency notes that there's commercially available diesel from tallow, soybeans and canola already, as well as ethanol from both sugar cane and sorghum. Too, such things as natural gas, hydrogen and electricity are already fueling vehicles. Meanwhile, the law allows for that with what's essentially a cap-and-tax system on standard fuels. Fuel producers would purchase credits that would let them to continue selling conventional fuels, then pass the cost of those credits on to customers. There's disagreement about how much that tax-by-another-name would cost, to be sure. DEQ estimates it would add something between 6 cents and 19 cents to each gallon of fuel purchased; the fuels association pegs the cost at between 33 cents and more than$1. Either way, Oregonians could not vote to repeal the tax, because it's been disguised in a cap-and- tax costume. The low carbon fuels law at the root of all this was billed as something good for both the economy and the environment. Supporters promised a 29,000-job boost &om the ethanol plants that would be built here, though that hasn't happened yet. The environment would benefit &om all that clean fuel. If this reminds you of the state's Business Energy Tax Credit program at its worst, it should. You are likely to drive at some disputed additional cost, and that money will, in turn, be given to alternate fuel producers. The cost will fall directly on every car, truckand lawnmower owner in Oregon. If the DEQ is unwilling to end the exercise now, the Legislature should do it come 2015.

Voters want to see real j.ea ers Editorial from the Dallas Morning News: Republicans' resounding midterm gains include a U.S. Senate majority and greater House dominance, but they still go only so far in achieving what voters really want: superior governance. The team-sport aspect of American politics, with all its flaws, does produce winners and losers, as we saw Tuesday. Now what Americans demand is a government that advances solutions and bettersolvesproblems. Both teams, Republican and Democrat, have been guilty ofarrogance and overreach. This election also makes clearthat both sidesalso need each other. Republicans, who will control all of Congress in January, must show they can do more than obstruct the president and his party. This means more John Cornyn and less Ted Cruz and his one-way-street approach.It'spossible to remain conservative and still work across the aisle; in fact, it'sa requirement in today'sdivided government. And President Barack Obama needs

to domore than pay lip service to compromiseifhe hopesto build areal legacy in his final two years. This means fewer threats to impose executive action fixes to big problems, like immigration reform, and more coalition-building with actual lawmakers. Words matter, but actions matter more. We want to believe key figures in both parties sending signals that compromise is the new player in Washington. Then we remember hearing similar words after every election. Eventually, we catch on. Instead, what we want is to see our executiveand legislative branch leaders actually lead. A good time to test-drive this is during the lame-duck session before the new Congress is seated in January. One must-do is the matter of funding thefederalgovernment, as a stopgap measure expires Dec. 11 — precisely the kind of measure that has caused past D.C. governance to grind to a halt. Other issues are stalled Obama nominations and whether to renew a series of expired tax breaks. These, too, will require give

and take. This newspaper has been critical of congressional Republicans for their obstinacy — and will remain so if they continue on that path. Poll after poll shows Congressathistoricapproval lows.Yetit'salso true thatvoterssenta clear message Tuesday to Obama that the pox is on both houses. In a Wall Street Journal/NBC News pollreleased on the eve ofthe vote, two-thirds of Americans said they wanted to see"a great deal"or"quite a bit" of change in the way Obama does business. Even among self-described Democrats, 47 percent said they want substantial change &om the president. The Democrats' dramatic lossesseven or more Senate seats, more than a dozen in the House and three blue state governorships, including in Obama's Illinois — only served to reinforce the polling dissatisfaction. Americans have seen far too much of government that doesn't work over the past six years. They've also made it clear thatthey've about had enough.

By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Wnter

SALT LAKE CITYFor about 5 seconds, the ball was just lying there in the end zone at the feet of Oregon's Erick Dargan. Utah's Kaelin Clay was celebrating with his teammates what looked like a long touchdown catch to put the Utes up 14-0 in the second quarter against the fifth-ranked Ducks. Joe Walker knew better. Clay had nonchalantly

dropped the ball a yard before crossing the goal line. Walker returned Clay's careless goal line fumble 100 yards for a touchdown and Marcus Mariota threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score as Oregon turned back No. 20 Utah 51-27 on Saturday night. The Ducks scored the final 21 points after Utah got within three early in the fourth quarter. "A gutty, gutty win by our team," Oregon coach Mark Helfiich said."A huge turn of events, obviously, on the fumble going into the end zone. A great lesson for all of us." Mariota was not at his best, but he did nothing to hurt his Heisman Trophy hopes while keeping the

Ducks i9-1, 6-1 CFP No.4l in the thick of the College Football Playoff race. The junior ran for 114 yards and was 17 for 29 for 239 yards passing. Oregon also clinched the Pac-12 North and a spot in the conference championship game on Dec. 5, but lost a key player. Tight end Pharaoh Brown was carted otf after an ugly right leg injury in the fourth quarter. Utah's Travis Wilson didn't get the start, but threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns after Kendal Thompson went out with a knee injury in the first quarter. Clay had 152 yards on five catches, butit was the 1yard he let slip away that will be remembered most.

The Utes i6-3, 3-3l were on their way to taking a two-touchdown lead on the first play of the second quarter when Wilson connected with Clay on a deep ball down the middle. Clay was cruising, but he left something important behind. "I thought he might have dropped the ball a little early. I wasn't too sure,"Walker said."I saw the ref throw the bean bag ito indicate a fumble). Ran down there, picked up the

ball." Dargan grabbed it first, got into a scrum with a Utah player and lost it. Walker then grabbed it and took otf the other way. By then there was a flock of Ducks leading him against only one Utah player and Walker chugged in to tie the game at 7. The Utes and their fans were stunned and silent. Clay slumped down on thebench and briefl y

pulled his black head band down over his eyes. "I know how important points are, so I take full responsibility," Clay said."I got carried away."

PortlandTrail Blaiers

ll ri ge, Slaiersroll gastNuggets By Anne M. Peterson AP Sports Wr ter

PORTLAND — With the Trail Blazersoffto a 4-3 start,LaMarcus Aldridgewas asked tooffer his early assessment of the team. ''We're growing," he said. Aldridge scored 28 points and had nine rebounds in the Trail Blazers' 116-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night. The Blazers, winners of three of theirlastfour games, made 16 of31 3-point attempts and all five starters scored in double figures. With a renewed emphasis on defense this season, Portland held the Nuggets to 17 third-quarter points. "Ithought we played a very good offensive game throughout. The secondhalf defense, even though we got off to a bit of a slow start in the first three minutes, we had a good defensive

second half," coach Terry Stotts said. "It was a good, solid home win." Wesley Matthews added 21 points, making five of 13 3-point attempts. Ty Lawson had 18 points for Denver aftermissing the team's 110-101 loss at home to Cleveland on Friday night with a sore left ankle. Kenneth Faried led the Nuggets with 19 points. It was Denver's fifth straight loss. "I didfeelbetter about thisgame," Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said. "There's no moral victories but I did feel better with the rotation, with the effort that our guys gave. So we just have to keep chipping away to try and stopthe bleeding." Portland was coming off a 106-102 loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles the day before but showed no sign of fatigue, leading by 18 points in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets closed to 102-94 on

Lawson's driving layup with 3:11 left, but Damian Lillard hit a 3-pointer that extended it to 111-98 with just over a minute left to seal it. Denver also saw the return of J.J. Hickson, who finished a five-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy. Coach Brian Shaw said Hickson's minutes would be limited because the forward was coming off March surgery to repair a torn ACL. The Nuggets were without reserve forward Darrell Arthur, who was suspended for a game without pay for shoving Cleveland guard Dion Waiters in the back as he went up for a first-quarter layup. Arthur was ejected. Aldridge put the Blazers up 55-43 in the first half with a 21-foot jumper. But the Nuggets pulled back into the game, closing to 59-54 on Timofey Mozgov's dunk.

Seattle is the first NFL team to have a running back rush for four touchdowns and a quarterbackrun foratleast 100 yards in the same game. It was Lynch's day. He scored on runs of 1, 2, and

3 yards and capped his day with a 16-yard TD.

sofarin 2014 compared to a year ago. Figures show more than 13,000 fish tallied at the dam including jacks and adults, which far eclipses the 2013 mark of 2,691. In fact, m ore coho passed the dam during the first five days of November than all of last year, mounting a robust fishery for both tribal and non-tribal anglers throughout the basin. Fall chinook, meanwhile are down about 590 in the Umatilla River compared to this time last year and steelhead up 114. Richards, who works as a project leader for the ConfederatedTribes oftheUmatilla Indian Reservation, said a combination of improved survival ratesand favorable ocean conditions are what's drivingtheimpressive coho run. "The biggest thing is once those fish leave here, they're on their own," Richards said. "As long as ocean conditions are favorable to those fish, you'll typically see good returns." It'san impressive feat, considering salmon were once driven to extinction in the Umatilla River. Over-allocationofwaterfor the area's agriculture left the river dry for months at a time, while diversion dams blocked fish from reaching their prime spawning habitat. The tribes and Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlifespearheaded restoration work in the mid-1980s, with results starting to show. Last year marked the first time the Umatilla River opened to fall chinook fishing, as near-record returns surged up the Columbia River into tributaries. Still, Richards said there is always room for improvement. "The more water we have, the better it is for fish," he

Every one of those fish is handled by stafFat the dam, operated by the tribes and ODFW to monitor counts and collect local broodstock for spawning. Dressed in river waders, ODFW biologist Wes Stonecypher pulls each fish from the trap and identifies it based on sex, species and whether it is tagged or finclipped. He slides the salmon down a long metal table where it is either released directly back into the river or sorted into the facility's holding ponds. Inside the spawning facility, sexually mature coho are killed — all Pacific salmon die naturally after spawning — andsperm from the males is mixed with eggs from females for fertilization. The eggs are then taken to ODFW's hatchery in Irrigon to be reared. The goal istobolster populationsforsustainable fisheries, Richards said.

Will Cameron, researcher and biologist with ODFW at Three Mile Falls, said coho and fall chmook have been some of their more stable fish populations in recent years. Increasing returns have been fabulous news for recreational anglers, he said. 'This has been a pretty steady fall salmon season on the Umatilla," Cameron said. "In particular, it provides opportunities for bank anglers."

Honoring ose lost in e wars One of my perceived problems in getting really settled in my house has been the accumulation ofbooks — boxes and boxesofbooks — avirtuallibrary ofm y own, most of which I've never read. Oh, I've been sure I would get through each novel, each autobiography, a rereading of each story from my childhood, and a withdrawing of every kind of information historically. Somehow, in the passage of time, it just never came about. And yet the books remain close to my heart and I haven't been ableto dom oreto settlein than walk around the heavily stacked boxes for"some day." It has been clear to me that maybe I would do better to turn my books into paperartlikethey doatthelibrary and acquire something called a Kindle thatlooks like apad ofpaperencased in plastic and offers all books to me in a tiny space via electronics. No, I guess not. Somehow I prefer the feel of a printed hardcover book to hold in my hands as in friendship while acknowledging each to his/her own choice of reading material. I like the warmth of character that belongs with something called"hard copy" to sit on a shelf or table visibly, its cover an inviting invitation to become part of it. To get on with my story beyond my inability to clear my house ofboxes of books, one day I decided shelving my books was of prime importance and I must doitby myself, so I set about to do the impossible. Scouting about the house, I discovereda number ofusable piecesof furniture that could be considered bookshelves. The problem was getting them into place along a wall. Years ago I learned to"walk" furniture that was too heavy or awkward for my aging body. With this procedure and the addition of loor-saving scatterrugs,Im anaged to f overcometheimpossible. It took several exhausting days, but eventually the bookcases were in place, ready to be lined with the reading material. Sorting and filing the books was another tiring, time-consuming undertaking but it was finally overcome as well. Among my books, bringing me to the crux of what I wanted to relate, were three books written by Ernie Pyle, the famous war correspondent in World War II, one in 1943 and two in 1945. They were "Here Is Your War," made into the movie'The Story of G.I. Joe" starring Burgess Meredith. Then there was "Brave Men" written in double columns to conserve wartime paper. The final description of the war by Ernie came in 1945 when Pyle went from the successful conclusion in Europe to the Navy in the South Pacific. Tragically, on April 18, 1945, Pyle lost his life while in the midst of reporting the battle, and the book so named"Last Chapter," simply states the fact of the author's loss at the end of the book. At that time, we all felt his tremendous loss, for he had become one of our own through his printed words. I hadn't been aware of this third book in my collection, so I sat down to look through it, surprised to find an Index of Persons and Places in the back. These were the identities of the service folk with whom Pyle visited aboard an aircraft carrier ship called"The Iron Woman" by the crew. He was welcomed by the crew with a large cake baked and frosted in the ship's bakery. One name that stood out was Baker 2nd Class Ray Conner, the only one mentioned from Oregon. He was from Le Grande isicl, and was instrumental in getting the cake baked. SeeDory/Page 2B

And war it was! Once in a while I went into the house after watering my flowers and pots without being wet, but it was rare. Ilovethe"pocket hose" concept so even with previous bad experience I bought three of the new and improved hoses in the spring. I was assured that if theyruptured in short order I could take them back. ONE lasted all summer. All summer, mind you, until our son and family came for a visit, bringingtheirLabrador retriever to take pheasant hunting. He is still young and playful so he found the hose out by the garden, and he would pull it out and let it snap back and then do it all over again. The most upsetting part of the whole deal is, my husband watched him from the bedroom window! I guess it would only take one tooth puncture to do it

Cobbler recipe touted as

Eggrollusisano- rainer 'best dessert ever created' By Renee Enna

• Restaurant's tasty dish is easy to re-create at home

Chicago Tnbune

So Dad was over for a visit and wanted scrambled eggs for breakfast. When I expressed some reluctance about pulling out a fiying pan (OK, it was a whole lot of reluctance), he remained undeterred.'You don't have to fry it," he told me."Use the microwave. Get me a saucer." It took a crafty 92-yearold cook to show me how to exploit the microwave, which in my kitchen is better known as the popcorn maker and frozen-l eftovers defroster. Within minutes, we were both enjoying a delectable scrambled egg. Cleanup was just as simple. When I realized the cooked egg was nearly the same size and shape as an 8-inch flour tortilla, this rollup was a natural progression. And frankly, if you're going to start with a no-brainer microwaved egg, you might as well keep the resulting recipejustas easy, or what's the point? The fillings suggested here can be swapped out with any number of ingredients. Caveats: The recipeisfor one rollup; because the egg is cooked in two 1-minute phases, you can be filling one while the next one starts cooking. Be carefulnotto get too much of the giardiniera's liquid onto the egg or it won't set. Also, I use a slightly cupped Corelle saucer (easy to find at thrift stores), but any microwave-safe saucer no larger than 8 inches in diameter will do the trick.

DORY Continued fmm Page 1B His father had been a schoolteacher in La Grande, he had told Ernie. I had known the Conner name from folks living in our Old Town, but I didn't know them as well as did my folks. Still, I wondered if this Ray Conner had been related to this family. Now I also wonder, on this day before Veterans Day, what became of Navyman Ray Conner. Did he return from the war safely? Did he remain a baker? Did he have his own bakery as he thought he might after the war? My questions come almost 70 years since World War II as I feel my gratitude to those who have served in the military over the years. While handling my treasured books, I felt the need for a special place for those written by Ernie Pyle as unbidden tears coursed down my cheeks over all of our suffered losses.

A majority, 51 percent, favors legalizing marijuana, according to a Gallup poll. That's about where support has been since 2011, but a drop fi'om the 58 percent who told Gallup lastyear they supported legalization. Lastyear's poll came just after Colorado and Oregonhad voted to allow marijuana to be sold in stores and werein theprocessofsetting up the market. Since the last poll, marijuana stores have opened their doors in those states and somepartsofthe rollout have beenbumpy. Gallup's analystswrote in a blogpost that public support may have been weakened by several unwelcome headlines in Colorado around the sale of pot-infusedcandies,cookies and other sweets that would appeal to children. But other factors could also explain why support for legalization appears to have hitaplateau aftera decade of steadyincreases,Gallup said.

did discussion of the political movementin the press. 'The relative lackof attention to new legalizationinitiatives thmugh 2014mayhave caused public support to subside," the Gallup analysts wrote. Legalizatio n advocates say the drop was expected. The surge of support Gallupreported lastyear"was something of an outlier," said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance. He attributed it to the poll's timing, noting it was conducted just after the Obama administration gave Washington and Colorado the green light to proceed with implementing their initiatives and"beforemedia began to focus on the actual challenges of transforming a previously illegal, unregulated market into a legal, regulated one." Support for legalization varies widely from one part of the country to another. It is particularly strong on the West Coast and Northeast.

Those are the areas organizersareplanning totargetfor a series oflegalization initiatives in 2016. Solid majorities of 57 percent still support legalization in the coastal states. Pot is a much tougher sell in the Midwest and the South, where supporters oflegalization are in the minority. In the Midwest, support plunged 13 points sincelastyearand now stands at 45 percent. In the South, 47 percent support legalization, the poll found. Cannabis advocates are also having a tough time convertingconservatives,despite their success in Alaska, a GOP stronghold, and their contention that marijuana legalization is not a partisan issue. The weak support among conservatives — 31 percent favorlegalization — does not bode well for their plans to gradually shik the fight from the states to Congress, which will soon be entirely controlled by the Republicans.

TRIBUTE TO VETERANS

MILITARY FAMILY DEALS WITH HUSBAND'S ABSENCE — AND HIS RETURN I

~~ie~

By Jayson Jacoby

Alexander De Anda kept looking for his daddy in the computer. Even when his daddy, Jorge, was sitting in the next room. Alexander, now 5, was just a toddler back in 2011 when Jorge returned after a long absence in a distant land, and so the boy's confusion about his father's whereabouts was perhaps to be expected. So far as he could remember, daddy was the man whose face showed up on the screen every week or so, courtesy of Skype. "He wanted to take his daddy out of the computer," said Jorge's wife, Nancy. But Alexander wasn't the only member of his family who struggled to adjust to his father's sudden reappearance in flesh and blood rather than pixels. Jorge, who had finished his second combat tour in Iraq with the Oregon Army National Guard's 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment, did not smoothly resume his domestic life. Nor did Nancy. Itis,they both agreed,a curiosity of military families that the long-term separations, and the constant nagging fear they spawn, are actually less stressful than the reunion. The De Andas, who met in junior high school in Hermiston and were married in 2008, between Jorge's two tours in Iraq, understand that their experience seems to defy common sense. Reunions ought to be joyous occasions, after all. And indeed the De Andas, who were living in Hermiston in 2011 but moved to La Grande the next year, rejoiced when Jorge was safely home with his family. But after the couple had embraced, and after their two boys, Alexander and his brother, JorgeLuis, two years older, had hugged their dad

Jorge De Anda with his sons, Alexander, left, and JorgeLuis, before Jorge's second deployment to Iraq in 2010.

Jorge was grateful for the National Guard's yellow ribbon reintegration program. It helped him to understand that his fears, and his doubts about his ability to resume his life away from war, were not unique to him but were in fact common. The months passed and everything that had felt new, and for that reason frightening, gradually became familiar, and welcome. Alexander, who for some weeks insisted on using his toy telephone to talk to his dad, even when Jorge was home, came to understand that his dad really lived there, and not in the computer. "I'd say it took about a yearforusto really be comfortabletogether again," Jorge said. The De Andas agree that the adjustment period was longer, and more complicated, after Jorge's second deployment to Iraq. When he was first sent there, in 2004-5 as an en-

for the first time in almost a year, the realities of daily life replacedthe ecstasy ofthose moments. And the reality is that Jorge was a different man, reunited with a different family. "The separation you get used to," Jorge, 34, said.cThe re-integration is the hardest." Nancy, who's 33 but, she says with a smile, just a few weeks younger than her husband, nods in agreement with his statement.

'You get so used to being alone," she said.'When he came back it was really a disruption." Nancy said that after a year of raising her sons while Jorge was in Iraq, she was used to following a specific schedule. Jorge, in effect,interrupted that. He, meanwhile, was accustomed to the rigorous demands of commanding his platoon of 54 soldiers as a first lieutenant iJorge's current rank is captain). That's a vastly different task than being a loving husband anddotingfather. "That was my biggest fear — I was scared to see how he would adjust to being a husband and a father again," Nancy said."A year in children's lives is huge; they change so much.

Walter Richard of Union, with his daughter, Katrina, 16, and wife, Rose, have endured two deployments to Iraq. He bought his daughter a teddy bear at a forward operating base, and Katrina sent him a smaller military teddy bear to keep up the connections although he was half a world away.

it's important for family members to realize that the soldier has been through a traumatic experience. "Their sleeping habits might be totally different" Rose said. "One guy we heard of was going out to dinner and a car going by backfired." The guy, perhaps suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, dove for cover. "If they want to talk about their time at war, go ahead and talk about it," Rose said. "If they don't, don't pressure them."

She followed the news, but she also had another, much more intimate source of information. Her nephew was serving in Iraq at the same time as Jorge. And her nephew gave her much more detaile d reports. "Itwas frustrating for me," Nancy said. "My nephew would talk about what's going on, but when it came to Jorge itwas'yep, nope, we're OK.' " But there was another factor, Jorge said,in his reluctance to talk about bombs and patrols and snipers. "Ilooked forward to our phone calls because they took my mind off what I had to do in Iraq," he said."(Nancyl wanted to talk about Iraq. I wanted to getthe daily gossip of Hermiston. It was my little escape." Nancy said she understands better now why Jorge deflected her questions about his war experiences. And despite her frustration after many of those phone calls, now almost a decade ago, she also relied on them to ease her fears forthe man shewould end up marrying. "It was very comforting," Nancy said. The De Andas can even share a laugh about the unpredictable quality of

Chris Burk never intended to find a full-time career and a retirement when he joined the Oregon Army National Guard. Instead, his motivations proved to be more mundane — and noble — than searching out a long-term career when he signed up. He just wanted to take care ofhis family after spending four years in the US. Navy. "I joined the Guard mostly for my family. We were slruggling financially when I came out of the navy. It was hard to find work," he said. In September Burk, still a relativelyyoung man in his early40s,retired from the Oregon Army National Guard aftera 20-yearstintasa m aster sergeant. The ceremony at the Baker CityArmory signified the end of an era for the Baker City resident who has spent most ofhis early adult life inside the military in one form or another. "Ihad 20 yearsofactivefederal service. Around 25 years altogether. 20 years with the

(3rdl battalion," he said. Burkjoined Eastern Oregon's Guard outfit, the 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment, in 1996 and served on a part-time basisfortwoyears. Then Burk said he secured an opportunity to work fulltime for the Guard as an AGR, or Active Guard Reserve. The AGR program places parttime Guard and Army Reserve personnel in a full-time status to help the part-time force, or M-Day, Guardsmen. Burk said the choice to go full-time was really an easy one. "I kind of felt like that was where life was leading me. I

had work at the time butit was just minimum wage jobs. There were no family-wage jobs that I could find," he said. Throughout his career Burk served in combat and noncombat positions for the Guard. He was a M1A2 tank crewman at one point and alsoserved stints asan administrative specialist, a personal services sergeant, a logistics specialist and a human resources noncommissioned officer. He served a large chunk of his time with the 3rd Battalion but also spent time on the western sideofthe statewo rking for the Guard. In 2004, Burk, along with the restofthe 3rd Battalion,prepared to deploy to Iraq on what would prove to be the first of two tours the Eastern Oregon citizensoldier outfit completed in that war-torn nation. Burk was ready to deploy but was sidelined suddenly by a heart ailment he never knew he had. "I had to return for heart surgery. I had a hole in my heart that I had since birth but I didn't know it," he said. Burk was able to get the required surgery and, eventually, returned to his full-time position with the 3rd Battali on. Burk said that while he knows he will miss some elements of his full-time Guard job, he is excited about stepping into civilian ranks for the first time in more than two decades. "I am actually really excited about retiring. I will be able to have my weekends back and spend time with my family," he said. He said he has already

encountered one issue. For years Burk said he lived in a world that revolved around the calendar and long-term plans. Now that is gone. "I'm so used to having things planned out, always forward thinking, having things planned 120 days out," he said. In his two decades of service to the Guard, Burk said many elements of the job are different. Especially technology, he said. "The biggest thing that changed was from the time I started until the time I left was the automation of the Guard, everything computerized. And how security conscious the Guard is," he sard. Burk said he is pleased with his career and his ability to make a difference but he wasableto do one last thingbefore he retired he is most proud of. "I went back and tried to find all the people who had not received their awards in the pasttwoyears.Igota whole bunch of people their awards," he said.

"I looked forward to our phonecalls becausethey took my mindffowhatI had to do in Iraq. (Nancy) wanted to talk about Iraq. I wanted to get the daily

gossip of Hermiston. It was my little escape." — Capt. Jorge De Anda, talking about phone conversations with his wife, Nancy, while he was serving with the Oregon Army National Guard in Iraq

those phone calls. "Most of the time I would end up cutting him off," Nancy said. Jorge said he spent much of his time during that first deployment to Iraq pondering his future. "I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted to do with my life," he said. Yet for all his consideration of the future, when he got home he wasn't able to immediately devote all his attentionto hisgoals. When he returned to Hermiston in 2005 he struggled, as so many combat sol diers do,to adjustto a world that suddenly was nearly devoid of the bullets and bombs and other dangers that were commonplace in Iraq. Nancy noticed right off how Jorge had changed. cWe would go out and you could tell he was tense," she said."One time he saw and heard a seagull flyingby and he immediately went to the ground."

Jorge takes up the story. "I heard the seagull and the sound, just the pitch of it, was so much like an incoming rocket," he said. Jorge gradually became comfortableagain. He enrolled at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande, where he earned a bachelor's degree in business administration in 2008. After having his studies interrupted by his second deployment to Iraq, he is pursuing his master's at EOU now. He has progressed professionally, as well. In 2012 Jorge accepted a job with the ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) at EOU. He is also a company commander for the 3rd/116th at The Dalles. He hopes to remain in La Grande. "I really enjoy working here," Jorge said. "Going to college here I fell in love with the area and the town."

TRIBUTE TO VETERANS

Puttingtogetheracamyrundyveterans,for veterans By Katy Nesbitt WesCom News Service

JOSEPH — When a dream becomes areality,itcan be as overwhelming as affirming. In just three short years was transformed from a family hunting retreat into a respiteforwounded warriors. Julie Wheeler said she sat on the porch ofher family's cabin on land high atop a ridgeline divided by Big and Little Sheep creeks, a 45-minutedrivefrom Joseph, on a good day. She was preparing the property for sale, when she took a break, lettingtheessence ofthe place and her thoughts intermingle. She was about to retire from the federal government where she worked in critical incident stress management rehabilitating those who endured traumatic events in the line of duty. Her background got her thinking about how she could use the family property for troops who had been through similar situations. As she sat surrounded by the utter quiet ofher family's retreat, with majestic pines and firs tossed by the wind, she thought of who could benefit from some time in the woods. Originally, the camp was where her father ran a pack business in the summer and guided hunters in the fall. When her father was no longer able to guide, hunters used the cabins as base camp. The proximity to prime big game hunting of course was the original draw, but she wanted to extend the gift of serenity and privacyto a specialgroup of people dear to her heart. Wheeler said while traveling in Asia it was overwhelmingly evident the freedom Americans have. She saidcollege students she met abroad asked her questions like, "Americans can travel kom town to town without permits?""People can gather in public?" During one conversation, a kid

The National Rifle Association donated a trackchair, left, to the Divide Camp for veterans who are unable to walk. The trackchair sits next to a new feature at the camp. The dying fir is now a bulletin board with a bald eagle perched on top and a bear cub reading the list of volunteers and donors. startedplaying a guitar,butwas quickly stopped by nearby security. "I realized, keedom isn't free," Wheeler said. Ever respectful of the young men and women who fight the battles in the name of American values and return wounded and disassociated when they return, Wheeler dreamed adream forthem: toprovide a far-away place to write, hunt, fish and just listen to the wind blow. In the summer of 2013, she had help renovating the cabins kom a local Iraq vet, Matt Hay. W heeler's dream, she said,isto have the retreat, known as Divide Camp, run by vets, for vets. Hay said when he returned to his home in Bend after his tour, he struggled to find work and to fit back into society. "The idea of a place like this is important to me," Hay said."I

would like to bring guys in who have gone through what I have, or worse, and bring them here." The camp, for Hay, has been what Wheeler envisions for other vets. "It has a healing sense to it," Hay said."There is something about being out in the woods and away kom

people." Hay has continued to help Wheeler by representing Divide Camp at various groups and meetings in Wallowa County. Donations and volunteer hours have gotten theplace ready for guests. In 2013, volunteers donated 1,577 hours, and in 2014, volunteer hours totaled almost 2,000, Wheeler said. Much of the help has come from Vietnam veterans and families with strong military histories, and a few are exactly who she envisions coming to Divide Camp, recent war veterans.

"The volunteers leave knowing they area partof'it,"'Wheeler said. "If they can participate in renovation or work splitting firewood, they feel so invested in it." One of the vets hadn't been out of his house in a long time and helped build a picnic shelter, Wheeler said. Tyler Andreatta found the Divide Camp online and wrote Wheeler an email about his struggles returning home from war. He quickly became involved by representing the camp at a sportsmen's show and is now on theboard ofdirectors. Andreatta enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2007 and did multiple tours in five years. He was injured in Afghanistan and went through rehabilitation in Portland. He was the first official veteran guest at Divide Camp and spent four weeks there this summer. James Nash returned kom the

This summer, he took vets fishing on the Salmon River in Idaho as a guide employed by Winding Waters River Expeditions and is scheduling events for 2015. He and Wheeler have a new dream — to use the U.S. Forest Service compound in Wallowa forclassrooms tohelp veterans reintegrate to American life. When Wheeler mentioned it to Nash he said,aWe could go kom a five-month to a 12-month operation." She said the Pacific Northwest has very little to offer vets and having both a headquarters in the valley year-round and the mountain retreatwould be a big asset. Wheeler said,'These wars aren't going to end. We will always have a need." The Divide Camp got its nonprofit status in July, allowing it to receive a grant kom the Wildhorse Casino in Pendleton. Those funds went to improving the camp's solar system that has six 250-watt panels. "Even on cloudy days the batteries never went below 65 percent," Wheeler said. A grant kom the National Rifleman's Association purchased a track chair that allows those who cannot walk to be mobile all over the rugged terrain of the camp. Last summer a flagpole was erected, and this year a white fir endangering the camp's lodge was cut down. One stem was carved into the likeness of a bear cub looking up at another stem that was carved into a bald eagle. The trunk will be engraved with lists of donors and volunteers when it is completed. Kathy Cleary, an Iraq vet, said she struggled with her identity when she returned from war, yet found solace at the Divide Camp. 'You can go and soul search and find out who you really are at the camp. The Divide camp is my hero."

Local veterans give theVeteran Affairs Community Based Outreach Clinic in La Grande high marks.

National shake up of VA will help vets • Local veterans will soon have more health care options By Dick Mason vvescom News service

A proud agency took an enormous hit last spring and summer. It was a hit whose impact w ill reverberate foryears, one that sparked changes that may soon help Northeast Oregon veterans in a

big way. The changes were made afterthe health care provided by the Veterans'Administration came under highly publicized fire when it was revealed that military veterans regularl y faced extraordinary long waits for health care at VA medical centers. In a number of instances it was shown that veterans in places like Phoenix had died while waiting many months to receive health care at VA medical centers. The revelations prompted outrage that resulted in Congress overhauling the VA health care system and pouring billions of additional dollars into it to help it better meet the health care needs of veterans. A sizable portion of this money will go to help veterans who live in rural areas, said Byron Whipple, Union County's veterans services oScer. He said that within a year local veterans who go to VA medical centers in Boise, Idaho, Walla Walla, Wash., Spokane, Wash. and Portland to see specialists will see an improvement in the servicethey receive. "It will take some time for the money to work its way into the system but it will be a tremendous help," said

Whipple, who is based at the Center for Human Development. Veterans in Union and Wallowa counties have had to waitfor extended periods to receive health care at VA centers out of town. Waits for health care at the VA Community Based Outreach Clinic in La Grande have never been a problem, Whipple said. He gives the clinic extremely high marks forthe quality ofcare itprovides and for how quickly its staff responds to patient needs. "Their hearts are in it. It is very personal," Whipple sard. He said that ifaveteran calls with an urgent but non emergency need he or she will almost always be seen by the clinic's physician within one day. Whipple said that if a veteran has a general, nonurgent need, he or she can always get an appointment in less than two weeks. "Overall, the clinic does an excellent job," Whipple said."I can't think of anyone who has received bad care." Union veteran Ken McCormack agrees that the La Grande clinic, which opened less than 15 years ago, is a tremendous attribute. "It means that veterans do nothave to gooutside the GrandeRonde Valley to receivehealth care,"M cCormack said."They don't always have to go to Walla Walla, Spokane, Boise and Portland. They can get it right here in the city." He agrees with Whipple thatveterans can getappointments quicldy, never having to wait more than a day or two. He knows this from personal experience. "Sometimes I can get in

on the same day," McCormack said. McCormack is a member oftheadvisory board for the LaGrande Community Based Outreach Clinic. He said that the clinic's staff is responsive to any suggestions it may make. While veterans have had few issues with the health care received at the clinic, they have had to wait extensivelyto receive health care at centers in Boise, Spokane, Walla Walla and Portland. The long waits are for ailments that are not directly related to their time in the service. "If someone needs a knee or shoulder replacement, they may have to wait well overayear,"Whipple said, referring to joint replacements not needed because of service-related injuries. W aits ofayearor more have been needed because the non-local centers are servingveterans from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nevada, Whipple said. The waits are also needed because veterans with servicecaused health problems aregiven top priority. A veteran, for example, suffering from an problem caused by an explosion in Iraq can get into to see a specialist within a few days, Whipple said. Because veteranswith servicecaused injuries get priority, it means that those with health issues not connected to military service have to wait longer to see VA doctors. Local veterans with serviceand non-servicerelated health issues will not have to waitaslong to seespecialists in the future because a portion of the money being poured into the VA will be used to reimburse them for

carethey receiveoutside the VA. To illustrate how this will help veterans, Whipple used the example of a veteran in Union or Wallowa county who needs to see a podiatrist forafootproblem. "Sometimes veterans have to travel to Portland just to see a podiatrist for a 15-minute appointment,"

Whipple said. Such experiences are exasperating for some in part because the VA does not always cover the travel expenses of veterans. Soon, however, Union and Wallowa county veterans will be making fewer trips outside Northeast Oregon formedicaltreatment because some of it will be outsourced. This means a veteran will be able to see a local podiatrist and be reimbursed for the cost by the VA. "The VA will provide us with an outsourcing option,"

Whipple said. This will be a tremendous plus for local veterans, said Lonnie Myers of La Grande, See VA /Prrge 8D

If Jeff Heiser's words reach out and touch at least one person, save at least one person from becoming a suicide statistic, then he has succeeded. "If you can save one life, that's what it's all about," he says. Heiser, 57, is a U.S. Navy veteran. He lives in Florida and travels around the country sharing his personal storyofovercoming battles with post-traumatic stress disorder iPTSDl, suicide and substance abuse. He has given 12 presentations about PTSD in Eastern Oregon since he arrived Nov. 5, and his final speech — this one about the sacrifices our military make — will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday during the Veterans Day observation at the Baker County Courthouse. He was invited here by Cliff Cole, director of the Northeast Oregon Compassion Center in Baker City. Cole heard Heiser speak in Boise, and knew his message needed to be heard in Eastern Oregon. Heiser hasn't always been so open about his struggles

Jeff Heiser, a U.S. Navy veteran, helps fellow veterans dealwith post-traumatic stress disorder that followed more than 10 years of service between 1977 and the early 1990s. "I didn't have a problem," he says. He knew he was angry-

there were instances when he couldn't even remember punching a wall in a fit of rage. He also turned to alcohol. "I started drinking. A lot.

PTSD develops after a traumatic incident causes you to fear for your life. Heiser had a number of those occasions while serving in Puerto Rico, where gunshots became everyday background noise. One event in particular, though, happened in December 1979 when he'd just switched from day shift to evening shift for driving the bus full of soldiers. The bus was ambushed during the day shift. Two died — including the man sitting in the seat where Heiser would have beenand 10 were wounded. No one talked about the incident. But it affected him. "I think everybody I was stationedwith sufferfrom a form of PTSD," he says. Heiser didn't acknowledge his battle with PTSD for nearly 30 years. Then his son, who served in theNavy, came home and "had an incident" caused by PTSD. Heiser decided this disorder which affects so many

needed attention. "I decided it was time to starttalking,"H eisersays. He made a short film titled "Return But No Escape" to raise awareness about PTSD and suicide among veterans. He said studiesreport that 8,030 veterans commit suicide each year. He hopes that his film and his talks help families understand PTSD, and maybe inspireveterans to seek help.

'You can be tough and strong and ask for help," Heiser says."I don't want to see guys take their own life because they think there's nothing else." As for hnn, it helps to share his story. "It's actually therapy, for me," he says. PTSD is still very real in his life. "It's with you all the time," he says.

VA Continued from Page 6D a member of American Legion Post 43. Myers said that the veterans it will help include those who need eye surgery, which if everything goes as planned, will be able to be outsourced to ophthalmologists in Northeast Oregon. Presently, veterans must travel to the VA medical center in Spokane, Wash., for an eye operation. "It is difficult for many veterans to get transportation to Spokane," Myers said. He said that the VA provides transportation from Walla Walla to Spokane and back several times a week. Unfortunately, no transportation is provided to Walla Walla from Union and Wallowa counties. 'Veterans must get to Walla Walla on their own," Myers said.

Whipple said that young veterans are receivingbetter medical care and other servicesoveralltoday in large partbecause of the support they are receiving from Vietnam veterans. He noted that surviving Vietnam veterans still outnumber veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan by a 2-1 margin. These Vietnam veterans remember how they were often treated poorly on many levels after first arriving back home. 'Vietnam veterans are making sure that nobody is treated as badly as they were. We need to thank Vietnam veterans for the respectyounger veterans arereceiving,"
