IDAHO POWER'S PROPOSED BOARDMAN-TO-HEMINGWAY POWER LINE

• New crypto-inactivating UV light facility is up and running

Oregon, 6A WASHINGTONEarlier this month, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., announced his intention to introduce sweeping anti-discrimination legislation that would provide federal protections for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender individuals. The bill, which Merkley plans to introduce sometime after the 114th Congress is sworn in Jan. 6, will be designed to protect members of the LGBT community from unequal treatment in such areas as employment, housing and access to public accommodations.

• That's the preferred route for the line as outlined in a draft environmental impact statement written by BLM By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

BRIEFING

Scouts picking up Christmas trees on 3an. 3 Baker City Scouts will be picking up Christmas trees the morning of Jan. 3 starting at 8:30. Residents can leave their tree near the curb of the street that morning. Scouts will deliver trees to Baker Sanitary Service, which will turn the trees into mulch. Donations are appreciated, but not required. They may be placed in an envelope attached to the front door of the residence. Contributions go toward supplies, camping and other activities as needed by the Scout units. The money remains with the local Scouting unit that picks up the tree. More information is available by calling Ed Hibbard at 541-519-6806.

The fi nal phase in Baker City's war against cryptosporidium is complete. Crypto oocysts in the municipal water supply are doomed. The city is fighting the guttwisting bug with light. Deadly ultraviolet iUVl light, that is.

A new $3 million UV water treatment plant is up and running. The facility and its maiming of oocysts that may be in the city's water supply — the oocyst is the shell that protects crypto from conventional disinfectants such as chlorine, which the city adds to its water — is the final blow to the microscopiccritter.

The plant went online last month. It replaced a temporary and portable UV treatment system that had been in use since March 2014. Cryptooocysts willbedeactivated — not necessarily killed — as aresultofbeing bathed in

The proposed route of Idaho Power Company's transmission line linking Oregon and Idaho would put the 500-kilovolt line, suspended by towers ranging in height from 110 to 195feet,asclose as1.1m ilestothe Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. That route, referred toasthe "proposed action" in the draft environmental impact statement iDEISl the BLM released last week, routesthe power lineeastofthe Interpretive Center, which is along Highway 86 about five miles east of Baker City. The line's closest proximity to the Center would be about 1.1 miles southeast of the popular visitor attraction, which is operated by theBLM and opened in May 1992. However, another possible route puts the Boardman-to-Hemingway power line on the west side of the Interpretive Center, between it and Baker Valley. Idaho Power, which unveiled the Boardman-to-Hemingway iB2Hl project in 2007, has estimated the 305-mile line, ifbuilt, wouldn't be finished until 2020 at the earliest. The project is named for the two substations at its ends — one that would be built by Portland General Electric near Boardman, and the other Idaho Power's existing Hemingway substation near Melba, Idaho.

If you welcomed Baker City's balmy December as an early Christmas gift, the month's final week might seem more like a lump of coal. Although you'd probably like to have the coal if you had a stove to burn it in. The Christmas Eve snowstorm might have been the vanguard of an all-out assault of arctic air that could hang around until the first week of 2015. Today will be relatively tranquil. But another storm is forecast to bring about 2 to 4 inches of snow from Saturday afternoonthrough Sunday morning. Then comes the real cold. On Tuesday the temperature might not rise above the teens. The next morning it coulddip a degreeor tw obelow zero. See Frigid/Page2A

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Dec. 26, 1964 The first major shipment of mail from Portland for nearly a week is expected to arrive at Baker tonight, it was learned. United Press International, in a telephone interview with the Democrat-Herald this morning, said the City of Portland was expected to leave Portland at12:30 p.m.— the first eastbound train since Tuesday. A shipment of mail from Washington and Pendleton arrived at Baker shortly after 9:30 a.m. today by truck, the first such shipment since midweek. Baker Postmaster G. Lowell Fuller expected Portland mail to arrive by train this afternoon, however, the Democrat-Herald learned that the train was unable to leave as scheduled because water rose two feet at Portland's Union Pacific Railroad depot. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Dec. 26, 1989 Greenhorn's "urban growth area" is just a little bigger. A request to expand Greenhorn's Urban Growth Boundarywas approved Wednesday by the BakerCounty Court. With the request, the urban growth area will expand to encompass 1"/2 acres owned by Baker County. An urban growth boundary encompasses land outside the city where growth is anticipated. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Dec. 27, 2004 LA GRANDE — Boise Cascade LLC is selling all of its 22.2 million acres of U.S. timberland, including 331,000 acres in Oregon's Northeast Region. The regional timberlands stretch from the Joseph area in Wallowa County, through Baker and Union counties as far west as Ukiah, andrange up inWashington as far as Waitsburg. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 3, 2014 2013 started dry and ended parched in Baker County. In between wasn't all that soggy, either. Except for four days. They made up barely1 percent of the year, but those four days had an outsized effect. Had all four been rain-free, 2013 would have ranked as the second-driest year at the Baker City Airport since at least 1943. Instead, those four days accounted for 2.57 inches of rain — almost one-third of the year's total.

Continued ~om Page1A The chill might abate a bit on New Year's Day, but temperaturesaren'tforecastto rise above freezing until the second day of 2015 at the soonest. This is all quite a contrast to most of December. Through Christmas Day, the averagetemperature for the month was 35.4 degrees, which is 10.5 degrees above average. The average high temperature of 41.9 degrees exceeds the average by 6.5 degrees, and the average low of 29.0 degrees is 11 degrees warmer than average. In fact December was on pace to set arecord forthew armest averagelow temperature. The current record, 27.6 degrees, was set in December 1950. The pending cold snap likely will preserve 1950's place in the record book, though. Based on the National W eather Service' spredicted low temperatures for the remaining days of December, the monthly's final average low will be around 25 degrees. That's still well above the longterm averageof18 degrees,butit wouldn't push 2014 into the top five warmest Decembers.

Continued ~om Page1A The DEIS is a document of substantial length, at about 3,000 pages including appendices. You can download a copy, or request a DVD version, at www.boardmantohemingway. Copies are also available at the Baker County Library, 2400 Resort St. in Baker City, and in the Planning Department at the Baker County Courthouse, 1995 Third St. Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett said this morning that he's "disappointed" with the DEIS. Bennett said the county's top goals include keeping the line out of the Baker and Durkee valleys, and increasing the mileage that would be built on public rather than private land. "It appears that we were not successful on any of those issues," Bennett said. Although the "proposed action" route does have the power line east of the Interpretive Center and not in the Baker Valley, Bennett points out that that route is the one Idaho Power prefers. BLM, by contrast, which along with other federal agencies and potentially Oregon agencies will have a say in where the power line would actually be built, lists as its "environmentally preferred" alternative a route that puts the line along the eastern edge of Baker Valley, on the west rather than the east side of the Interpretive Center.

enrolled in what was then Oregon State College, now University, in Corvallis. She was an outstanding student in the pharmacy program for two years, but switched to more general science courses after her marriage in June 1947 to Victor E. Lovejoy. She was in the Class of 1949, but never quite graduated, with the couple's first wonderful daughter being born in August 1949. After Victor graduated, they moved to Chewelah, Washington, in 1951. There, she raised her children and became involved with the community. She was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, and at various times was involved with Sunday school, vacation Bible school, and played the organ for church services for many years. Norma was immensely interested in education and was an active member of various parentsupport organizations, including the music boosters, PTA, and the Chewelah School Advisory Council.

The BLM has scheduled a series of open houses, including two in Baker County, during January to give residents a chance to learn about the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the proposed Boardman-to-Hemingwaypower line. •Thursday, Jan. 8, Sunridge Inn, Baker City,5 p.m.to8 p.m. • Friday, Jan. 9, Durkee Community Hall, Durkee,5 p.m.to8 p.m. More information is available at www.boardmantohemingway.com.

According to the DEIS, the BLM prefersthisalternateroute because itwould disturb381 fewer acresofsagegrouse priority habitat during construction, and 87 fewer acres once the power line is in

place. As for the publicjprivate landissue, both the proposed action and the BLM's preferred routes would put more than 60 percent of the line on private land. The amount is even higher on Baker County's approximately 70 miles — about 72 percent of the mileage would be private land. The public comment period for the DEIS continues through March 19. Details about how to comment are on the websitelisted in the shaded box above.

recesses Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The value of recess for young students isn't in doubt, but some schools are cutting precious minutes of free play to meet state instructional time requirements. It's dassic good-competing-with-good, but trimming recess is a counterproductive answer to the need for more teaching minutes. In the Salem-Keizer School District, oKcials determined that some elementary schools haven't been meeting state rules for teaching time. Their answer, according to the Statesman Journal, is to trim kindergarten recess from 15 minutes to 10 minutes per day starting in January. It's common knowledge that kids need to blow oA' steam so they can concentrate on their lessons. The benefits, though, go much further. As detailed in a 2013 policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, it's notjust the physical activity that has value. Recess "represents an essential, planned respite from rigorous cognitive tasks" and allows kids to"rest, play, imagine, think, move and socialize." It doesn't matter if the play is inside or outside, or even if children choose to talk instead of run and jump. And it's crucial that it's not structured play, which has its own value but doesn't allow the youngsters to make their own choices about what to do. The Academy statement says it has found a growing trend toward cutting recess in favor of academic time. The amount of recess varies widely across the nation, ranging from 20 to 60 minutes per day. In contrast, the Academy report says Japanese primaryage students get a 10- to 15-minute break every hour, based on the conclusion that concentration fades after 40 to 50 minutes of focused instruction. The Oregon Department of Education is in the midst of reviewing multiple issues surrounding instructional time, including proposals to increase required hours and change what activities can be considered instructional. For example, one proposal would end the current practice of induding parentteacher conferences, teacher training and nonacademic assemblies, among others. On the other hand, there's consideration of allowing recess hours to be included in the calculation. Full-day kindergarten will be widespread in Oregon starting in fall 2015, and some educators hope this will lessen the recess problem. The new rules need to give heavy consideration to allowing enough unstructured break time, especially for the youngest children. Otherwise, more class time could ironically lead to less learning.

Cl'C S 8 CBIIl: In this holiday season, let's suppose what might strike some as a miracle, that our Democratic president and a Republican Congress will soon join forces to do something wondrously humane. Let's suppose they agree to do what actually works to help shove poverty off the American map. We've already had truly effective action in bits and pieces. One significant actor has been President George W. Bush, largely unappreciated as the herohe is for starting a program dramatically reducing homelessness. He heeded someone who had been working with the homeless for decades and had discovered through first-hand observation that the best answer for theirplight was to place them in apartments immediately. This enabledservice agencies to offer assistance that counted for something and saved tax money used for more expensive group shelters and such matters as frequent emergency room visits. The Bush administration, which worked with agreeable localities throughout the country to implement the program, saw amazing results. Over aperiod from 2005 to 2007, homelessness figures went down by almost a third. Even during the early years of the recent recession, this "HousingFirst"idea isreported to have shrunk homelessness by another 19 percent. President Barack Obama helped out. He in effect gave Bush a cheer by keeping the effort alive and buzzing. Obama himself deserves kudos for

BIIM-

JAY AMBROSE that and still more for his insistence on demonstratedevidence ofeffectiveness asa criterion ofdeciding what social programs tofund. Such decisions have too often been based on constituency-pleasing politics or genuinely good intentions sadly bereft of astute analysis. Ron Haskins, a Brookings Institution scholar with a Republican background and someone who co-authored a book on the subject ("Show Me the Evidence"), sees enormous potential in using testing as a means of determining what to improve, what to keep the way it is or what to expand. Many agree that it is absolutely splendid to proceed this way, but some wonder how effective it will be. A Heritage Foundation fellow, David Muhlhausen, has written that just a tiny part of the whole is being tested and that hundreds of billions are still being wasted. He's dubious that much that's useless will go away and is cited as arguing for more involvement by states and localities. All of this brings us to Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee and his plan to do strikingly more on the poverty front. Just like Obama, he wants to test for what works but would do it in a way that could far more likely lead to widespread improvements. He would letstates and localgovernments in-

novate with a fund consolidated from a varietyofdifferent federal welfare programs tohelp people find work while also assisting them and being constantly watched by third-parties. If at first they did not succeed, they would have to try again another way. Haskins is also excited by this plan and what it would do simultaneously: address the infamy of our mass incarceration rates, banish regulations that themselves banish opportunity, take stepstoimprove education and boost tax creditsforw orking people. What we need is for Obama and Ryan to begin a process of negotiation and compromise, with Obama bringing more Democrats aboard as Ryan brings more Republicans aboard until finally there is widespread concurrence that would give the disadvantaged a major boost and give the country a far better future. Hopeful signs? The White House has already sent queries to Ryan about his plan, both sides seem to have atleast somewhat similarideas aboutcutting corporate welfare to pay extra costs, and Ryan has advised the GOP to prove itself more through positive actions than by slamming Obama. Wealsoonce had another Democratic president named Bill Clinton who reformed welfare beneficially in cooperation with a Republican Congress. Pray for the best.

"In dozensfstates, o LGBTAmericans

lack the basic nondiscrimination protections thatso many fous take for granted."

WASHINGTON — Earlier this month, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., announced his intention to introduce sweeping anti-discrimination legislation that would providefederalprotections for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender individuals. The bill, which Merkley plans to introduce sometime after the 114th Congress is sworn in Jan. 6, will be designedtoprotectmembers of the LGBT community &om unequal treatment in such areas as employment, housing and access to public accommodations. At an event at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank in Washington, D.C., Merkley said most Americans would be shocked to realize how much discrimination is still legal in various states across the country. "In dozens of states across the country, LGBT Americans lack the basic nondiscrimination protections that so many of us take for granted," said Merkley at the event."In North Carolina today, a gay man could be fired from his job just for being gay. In Michigan, a young couple could be denied the chance to buy their first home just because they're both women. In Pennsylvania, a transgender woman

— Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.

could be denied service and kicked out of a restaurant just for being who she is. And all of this would be perfectly

legal." Merkley supported legislation during the term of Congress that just ended that would have made it illegal to fire someone based on sexual orientation, but it was not enacted into law. The new legislation aims to put broaderprotections into place for LGBT individuals. Jann Carson, associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, said the ACLU strongly supports bringing a holisti capproach toadding protections under the law for LGBT individuals. "I think most Americans think it is wrong to discriminate against someone for who they are," she said. While prospectsforMe rkley's legislation may face an uphill climb in the next Congress when Republicans control both chambers, just the debate around it will keep the issue of equality under discussion, she said. "The need is there, so we shouldn't shy away &om try-

ing to advance civil rights for

iLGBTl people just because it'sa tougherclimate, or because we might have to be more convincing," she said. While public opinion seems to have coalesced around acceptance of samesex marriage, and the U.S. Supreme Court has hinted it will allow rulings in favor of same-sex marriage to stand, progress shouldn't end there, she said. ''What we're saying is: We want to reach the age where who you love doesn't become a lawful disqualifier foraccessto allofthese other essentials in being able to live in America, to be able to get a job, to have housing," she said. Portland attorney Kevin Clonts, who serves as the co-chairman of OGALLA: The LGBT Bar Association of Oregon, said the organization supports extending the protections that already exist in Oregon to include the entire country. Federal law bans discrimination based on a person's gender, religion, national origin, race and ethnicity, he sald.

day. He had questions for the 32-year-old Wade about what changes at that age. That's what they talked about, no smack about how the Cavaliersareperceived tobe a championship contender and how the Heat aren't even at the .500 mark. aWe only play this game for so long," said James, who got a warm ovationwhen avideo ofhis Heat highlights played in the first quarter.aYou've still got life afterwards. For us we're going to compete, we're going to go about our business and do what we need to do in our profession. You'll never let fiiendship come in between that." It was fitting that they talked about life after 30 — because for the seventh time in their head-to-head m eetings, both scored atleast 30 points. James had 30 points and eightassistsforthe Cavaliers, who got 25 fiom Kyrie Irving and 14fiom Kevin Love. "Couple of the best in this generation," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said about the James vs. Wade nights. "Spectacular. I wish I could sit back and enjoy it like a fan,because it'sjustfantastic basketball.... However long these two guys play, you'll get your money's worth."

AP Basketball Writer

MIAMI — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade wrapped each other in a pregame embrace, chatted and laughed at halfbme, then hugged again after the final buzzer. Just like old times. Only this time, just one got to enjoy a victory. James'return to Miami as an opponent was a success — for the Heat, that is. Wade scored 24 of his 31 points in the first half, Luol Deng had 25 points and dogged James defensively all night, and the Heat beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-91 in a hyped Christmas matchup Thurs-

day. aWe didn't have a bad breakup,"Wade said.aWe playedagainsteach otherfor seven years, man. The weirdness just wasn't there. It wasn't like we played against each other our whole career and the breakup happened. We played against each other for seven years, then with eachotherfora period of time, then he went back to the same situation and I'm in the same place."

SAN ANTONIO iAPl — Russell Westbrook scored 34 points, and Oklahoma City beat San Antonio in a rematch oflast season's Western Conference Finals. The Thunder earned their sixth straight regular-season victory over the defending NBA champions in the first meeting between the teams since San Antonio topped Oklahoma City in six games on the way to a fifth title. The Thunderwere without reigning MVP Kevin Durant, and the Spurs were missing Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, but there was still plenty of firepower.

With Bryant missing his second straight game, the Lakers were unable to pull off another upset. They stunned Golden State on Tuesday night but came up short against the Central division leaders. Gasol, a two-time champion in six-plus seasons with the Lakers, was 9 of 14 &om the field in his first game against Los Angeles since joining the Bulls in the summer. Wesley Johnson led Los Angeles with 19 points.

Wizards 102, Knicks 91 NEW YORK iAPl — John Wall had 24 points and 11 assists, eluding the Knicks all day until getting knocked to the floor by a flagrant foul that sparked an altercation, and Washington beat New York. Wall toyed with the Knicks for 3 V2 quarters, highlighted by a spinning, 360-degree layup, before Quincy Acy knocked him down with a forearm shove with 5:31 to play. Wall got up and pushed Acy, who responded with a punch that appeared to hit Wall behind the neck. Acy was ejected in the Christmas dust-up, and Wall received a technical foul. BradleyBeal added 17 pointsfor theW izards.

day. Baker City residents use about 1 million gallons of water per day in the winter, Plant Operator Jake Jones sard. Each reactor utilizes40 bulbs that expose 1,400 gallons of water per minute to UV light. During peak operation — during the summer, city residents can use as much as 8 or 9 milliongallons ofwater perday — two reactors will work full time with each one capable oftreatingup to 8,300 gallons of water per minute. Up to 6 million gallons of water per day can hurtle past the UV bulbs in each reactor on its way into the city's water distribution system. Two reactors will function simultaneously. The third is a backup. "It's nice to know we can breathe easy because every drop of water that we 're sending to town has been treated," Schwin said. Water begins its journey to the plant from various

(A sample of water from Elk Creek collected in early August 2013 contained the largestnumber ofcrypto oocysts during the outbreak of theparasite thatmade hundreds of residents ill.)

The ultraviolet light water treatment plant sits next to the city's lower reservoir that receives treated water. way to your faucets is a 4.5-million-gallon chlorination tank. It is bafIIed so the w aterhas time to be treated with chlorine. The bafIIes are arranged in a circular pattern that forces the water and chlorine to mix long enough for chlorine to kill bacteria and other pathogens that may cause sickness. Gravity allows the chlorine-treatedwater to travel through a 24-inch pipe into the 1,700-square-foot UV treatment facility. It then flows into a manifold with three 14-inch pipes that connect to the UV reactors.

You could say that is where crypto sees the UV light at the end of the tunnel. After passing through the gantlet of 40 UV lights and theircrypto-deactivating illumination, the water flows into a 3-million gallon tank. The water in this tank is what supplies the municipal water supply. 'You could say it's a bucketful of water waiting for someone to turn on their faucet," Schwin said. There was a lot of new information for Schwin and Jones to absorb concerning the operation of the new

facility. When construction was completed last month and the plant was started up, factoryrepresentatives were on site to train water facility employeesduring a fi ve-day demonstrationperiod. 'You look at this compared to what it was — everything was by hand," Jones said. "It was pretty intimidating when the factory rep was here going through it, but now that we've sat down and done it and worked through it — it's not that bad." Full automation of the facility is achieved with a supervisorycontroland data acquisition (SCADA) system that is the brains of the plant.Itlogsand processes all the information related the function of the plant and thewater itprocesses.

The HMI shows the operator how each system in the plant is functioning with a representativeschematic that includes the chlorination tank, reactors and the 3-million-gallon tank that holdsthe treated water below the facility. The SCADA system will alertthe plant operatorwith an alarm if there are any problems with the system. Jones said another advantage with the SCADA system is that it logs all water use information. "After the plant has been online long enough, we can see the data from specific dates and times," said Jones. "That will be a huge help in deciding how much water to release because we can compare the usage to the same time period from the previous year. It will make my job a lot easier." There are aspects of getting water to customers that will never be automated and still require manpower to accomplish. Jones still has plenty of other tasks that require work that only a person can perform. Depending on snow accumulation, access to the watershed may only be by snowmobile or snowshoe. Jonesstillhasto open gates and clean screens to keep water flowing to the facility no matter what the weather or access conditions are. 'You turn on your faucet and you have water. A lot of people don't understand what it takes to really getit (their water)," Jones said. The contractor who built the new facility is James W. Fowler Co. The plant finished its 30 day commission period last Friday. As required by the contract,thecommission period was necessary to assure that there were no malfunctions or issues with the system. According to Baker City Public Works Director Michelle Owen, the original contract amount was just under $3.2 million. Owen anticipates that the final contract price will be well under that amount. The three reactors had a

price tag of $290,000. Ongoing costs for the facility include replacement UV lamps that have price

of $125 each and monthly

Start your delightful ride approximately 70 miles east of Baker City, on Oregon Highway 86 in Oxbow.

Big game and turkey hunters need to report their results, whether or not they were successful in 2014 hunts, before Jan. 31, 2015, to avoid a $25 penalty. Hunters who participated in a telephone survey are also asked to report their results. Hunters can report in the following ways: • online at www.dfvv.state.or.us. • by calling 1-866-947-6339. Hunters will need their hunter/angler ID number. If you don't have a license, tag or other document with your number, call 1-866-947-6339 to get the number. Hunters whose hunt area included more than one Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) will need the two-digit number of the WMU where they spent the most time. Reporting information includes whether you were successful, and how many days you hunted (including rnentrri n youth). The deadline to report for hunts that end between Jan. 1 and March 31 is April 15.

The road follows the Hells Canyon Reservoir in delightful undulating swells that meander in and out of drainages and around rock bluffs. Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America. The canyon is known for its beauty and wildness. The surrounding mountains and ridgel ines boastelevations that exceed 7,000 feet whereas the Hells Canyon Road flirts with an elevationof1,800feetand lower.Thelarge variation in elevation makes for a very dramatic landscape of snowtoppedpeaks and ridges thatdrop to the reservoir and are reflected in the water. The elevation ofthe reservoir allows for temperatures that are much more moderate then the surrounding areas. The daytime temperatures of the Oxbow area are rarely below freezing and often flirt with 50 degrees and higher starting in March.

LA GRANDE — 34 locals participated in the 39th annual Union County Christmas Bird Count last weekend. The event required the effort of 413.5 miles and 54.75 hours by vehicle, 27.7 miles and 22.83 hours by foot, 4.33 hours at bird feeders and 11 hours, 74 vehicle miles and 1.5 miles by footforowling. The birders tied orexceeded the record numbers of17 species,according to coordinator Trent Bray. The biggest increase was of the American robin, as the birders found 721, up from theprevious record of237in 2000. The black-bi lled magpie saw the second-biggestincrease,as the group found 626 magpies compared with 452 in 2013. Other species that set new records this year: •red-tail ed hawk, 221 (previous record,172,setin 2005) • red crossbill, Ross Hubbard and Jim Lawrence saw 60 of these birds, (previous record, 24, set in 2005) • Eurasiancollared dove,196 (previous record,126,setin 2012) PaulTople/Akron Beacon Journal • marsh wren, 28 (previous record, 18, in 2005) • pine siskin, 128 (previous record, 91, in 2002) American robin • great-hornedowl,21(previous record,17,in 2013) There were a number of notable sightings, as well. Rob and Robin Ostermann found a Ross's goose with a large flock of Canada geese, and the couple also saw a peregrine falcon along Godley Road. Two Lincoln's sparrow were sighted at feeders. Mike Mahoney, Kendrick Moholt and Elizabeth Howard-Larvik found a varied thrush along Little Creek. The Roaming Owl Squad of Mahoney, Bray, Moholt and Mike McAllister found two Northern saw-whet owls in Ladd Canyon. Four Virginia rails were discovered around Hot Lake and Curtis Road, and Sara Watson saw a pileated woodpecker near Cath erine Creek State Park.

At the Sheep Ridge corral the sheep are treated somewhat like livestock — They are herded into a chute, a biologist sits on the back while another puts a hood on the sheep to calm it down, then takes samples. When all is done, the sheep jumps out of the chute and bounds away. Most animals are fitted with Global Positioning System collars that send a signal once a day that can be tracked from the comfort of an office. The collars can also be tracked using a handheld receiver.

Gray was raised in La Grande and North Powder, where she graduated from high school. She also graduated from Oregon State in 2010 and from Midwestern University in May 2014. She joins Dr. Eli Mayes in general dentistry at the Elgin clinic and is excited to work with the community. She is taking patients at the clinic on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In the spring, she will expand her hours. "Growing up in a rural area and seeing the dental needs that are here,Ijust wanted to come back and give back to the areathatraised me,"Gray said. The dinic also announces expanding their services to indude laser dentistry and implant dentistry. A few amenities are being added to the dinic building such as six business phone lines to directpatient calls expediently, music throughout the dinic and televisions above each chair to entertain and calm patients during their dental procedures.

Eastern Oregon Audiology receives national honor Eastern Oregon Audiology in La Grande, was presented with the "AudigyCertified Provider of Distinction Award" at a national conference of independent hearing care providers in Las Vegas. The audiology practice was recognized at the 2014Audigy Group Team Summit at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for delivering exceptional service to patients by providing comprehensive hearing care and support to people who struggle daily with hearing loss. ''We were thrilled to be recognized among our peers in the independent audiology community for our service," said Dr. Robin Maxon, owner of Eastern Oregon Audiology.'We help hundreds of people each year to iaudiblyl connect with their loved ones and stay engaged in the world around them while dealing with the difficulty of hearing loss.

Simon will be seeing patients during clinic hours Monday through Thursday.

US moves to end ban on blood donations by gay men WASHINGTON — Federal health officials are recommending an end to the nation's lifetime ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men, a 31-year-old policy that many medical groups and gay activists say is no longer justified. The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it favors replacing the blanket ban with a new policy barring donations from men who have had man-on-man sex in the previous 12 months. The new policy would put the U.S. in line with other countries including Australia, Japan and the U.K. The lifetime ban dates trom the early years of the AIDS crisis and was intended to protect the blood supply from what was a then little-understood disease. But many medical groups, including the American Medical Association, say the policy is no longer supported by science, given advances in HIV testing. Gay activists say the ban is discriminatory and perpetuates negativestereotypes.

Are beer bellies a real thing? Do social drinkers really carry around an extra five pounds of weight? I have avoided investigating the answers to this question for all my adult life — and all my years as a health reporter. Call it denial by someone who likes her wine. Recently, I learned that the caloric content of alcohol is higher iseven calories per gram) than that of proteins and sugars iboth four calories per gram), and nearly as much as fats inine calories). That sounded very worrying, I'll admit. But remember that for managing weight, a more important number is the total number of

And as far as common wisdom on drinking and weight gain goes, I am here to report, the science is murky. For starters, epidemiological studies in large populations trequently show that moderatedrinkers tend togain lessweight over time than teetotalers, says David Hanson, an alcohol expert at the State University of New York at Potsdam.'There's every reason to believe people who drink alcohol will gain weight," he says, "but they don't." Women who drink moderately — that's defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as one drink per day

and using a written asthma action plan, making regular follow-up appointments with your physician and trying to control environmental triggers. Some triggers areeasy tocontrol, such as smoking, while others — for example, dust and mold in work spaces — might be a little tougher to manage. Though asthma, especially in children, sometimes seems to disappear on its own, it generally cannot be cured. But it can be effectively treated, with knowledge and careful management. "For adult asthmatics, it doesn't tend to getbetter,butit doesn't have to getworse,"said Janna Tuck, a Missouri allergist and spokeswoman for the American College of Allergy, Asthma

and Immunology. Jill Selman, a high school teacher in Montgomery County, Md., has her asthma under control with medication when she began running six years ago. But three years ago, her symptoms flared up in a major way. "I could barely run a minute anymore. A lap was hard," Selman said."But my awesome allergist at Rockville Asthma and Allergy encouraged me to exercise and run. My doctor said to do it long-term helps expand my lung capacity." So she kept running. And slowly but surely, she was able to train for October's Marine Corps Marathon.'The training went great. I could run 16 to 21 miles with no problem," Selman said.

for women, two for men — seem to do the best in terms of the dreaded weight gain in middle age. Looking at body mass index — a gauge of fat calculated by weight and height — a 1997study found that women added an average1.4 to their BMI in a 10-yearperiod, but beer-drinking and wine-drinking women generally lost as much as 0.4 BMI units. For a 5-foot-4-inch woman, that's the equivalent to gaining 8 pounds or losing 2 pounds. Rosalind Breslow, an NIAAA researcher, studiedsurvey data trom 45,896 adultsto see ifpatterns ofdrinking made a difference in weight gain over time. Rather than looking at averagealcohol consumption over aperiod of time, her team measured drinking days per month and number of drinks on those days.

Be sure to ask any questions aboutyourdiagnosis,tests,options, advantages and disadvantages of a suggested treatment plan. "Ifyou know you can'tremember what your doctor is saying, ask your doctor to write it down or print it off for you to take home with you," Hamilton said. Taking action when communicating means the patient applies the provider's directions, whether that is a treatment plan, exercise program orprescription

in your lap, is much lower than a desktop monitor. This requires you to tilt your chin down more than you should. Jill Layton, an occupational therapist at STARS, suggests raising the laptopso the screen iscloserto eyelevel,and attaching a separate keyboard, which allows the elbows to still be at a 90-degree angle. As for texting, or playing on a tablet, Zinn says she encourages everyone— especially teenagers — "to intermittently hold their cellphone or tablet at face level if possible, to break up the tendency to always be lookingdown atthesedevices."

Common concerns

By Tiish Yerges ForWesCom News Service

about vaccinations regon families lead the nation in filing non-medical immunization waiversfortheirkindergarten children. Health care professionals believe this is due to parents having a lack ofscience-based education, while parents say they do understand the science, but are concerned about vaccine safety and risks. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention w ebsite states,"A vaccine, like any medication, could cause a serious reaction. But the risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small." For example, febrile seizures occur in one child out of every 1,000vaccinated formeasl esmumps-rubella; and severe allergic reactions occur in one childout ofevery 1,000,000 vaccinated for MMR. To discuss the risks and benefits of vaccinations, a groupoflocalhealth care professionals convened at Grande Ronde Hospital, including Dr. Keith Graham, a practicing internist and Union County health officer. Together this panel answered the following questions: Q: Whydoes my personal choice not to vaccinate matter to others? A: Carrie Brogoitti, public health administrator with the Center for Human Development in La Grande, said getting vaccinated is a social responsibility.'Vaccinationsare about protecting population health," she said. "There are a lot of people who can't get the vaccination due to concrete medical reasons, so when I get my flu shot, it helpsto protectthem." April Brock, a registered nurse at Grande Ronde Hospital, noted that the parents who are choosing not to vaccinate their own children have themselves been vaccinated as children; consequently, they have a false sense of security because they have probably never seen a child paralyzed with polio or in an iron lung or a child with measles, mumps or small pox. 'This is a generation of parents who have never seen a public health crisis," Brock said."Therefore, they don't seetheimportance ofvaccinations. So what my generation is doing is probably bringing back preventable illnesses." Q: Hotv effective are vaccinations for preventing disease? A: "There's published data See Yerges / Page 5C

Communicating clearly with family, caregiversand primary care providers can be a challenge for the chronically ill, but the Living Well Workshop facilitated by Rochelle Hamiltonand Kathy Hayden of Community Connection of Northeast Oregon offers some helpful suggestions. ''When asking for help from caregivers, be specific," Hamilton said. "Forexample,you might ask,'Can

you help me move?"' When someone who is chronically ill states precisely what they need, they are far more likely to be satisfied with the response. Sometimes, however, a chronically ill person will receiveoffersfor help thatthey did not ask for. Hamilton suggests declining the offer graciously so as not to embarrassthe generous giver. Communication is more than talking, though. Good listening is the most important skill in communicating with others, and it involves more

than your ears. It involves your eyes too. "Listen to the words, the tone of voice and observe the body language," Hamilton said. The best communication involves "mirroring," which confirms that you understood what was being said. "Let the person know you heard what he said by repeating it back to them," Hamilton said."Remember to acknowledge and validate the content and emotion in their communication."

Communicating with one's health care team requires an approach that Hamilton calls "PART' — prepare, ask, repeat and take action. "Ask yourself, What is the purpose of my doctor's visit, and what do I expect trom my doctor?"' Hamilton SRld.

To aid in communicating with your provider, prepare in advance with a list of the questions you want to ask. Highlight the top two or three. Hand the entire list to your SeeSkills / Page 5C

CHRONIC LUNGDISEASE

Asthma,

exercise CAN FIX A PAIN IN THE NECK can coexist • A body's proper posture has three curves — cervical, thoracic, lumbar

By Mike Plunkett The Washington Post

By Lisa Bntton ForWesCom News Service

In these days of technological revolution, a smartphone allows you to text, email, check Facebook, send a tweet on Twitter and post a cute photo on Instagram. But it can also give you a pain in the neck. Blake Marlia, a physical therapist at Baker Valley Physical Therapy, has recentlyseen cases ofdisc herniation in the neck. ''Which you never used to see," he said. His explanation is simple — posture. Or bad posture,to be specific. A body's proper posture has three curves — cervical

ineckl, thoracic iupper back) and lumbar gower back). If you're looking down at the phone in your hand, you loseboth the cervicaland lumbar curve. A goodruletoremember, Marlia said, is for every 30 m inutes ofactivity,do 30 seconds of a counter exercise. For example, if you've looked down at your phone for 30 minutes, take 30 seconds to tilt your head back a few times. If you've been sitting for 30 minutes, stand Lisa Britton/Forwescom News Sennce up and walk around. Caleb Mcllmoil, physical therapist at BakerValley PhysicalTherapy, demonstrates See Neck / Page 5C good posture, which maintains the natural curves in the spine.

Guidelines for good posture Here are some tips and tricks for improving posture DO'S • Ears over shoulders over hips when sitting upright • Eyes at downward angle of 10 to 20 degrees while looking at computer screen • Elbows at 90-degree angle • Keep your wrists in a neutral (straightj position — not resting on desk • Hips and knees at 90-degree angles • Feet flat on floor or footrest

DON'TS • Don't hold phone between your ear and shoulder • Don't face body one way and twist to work in another positionposition work station so everything is in easy reach • Don't conform to chair — make chair conform to you • Don't stay seated for entire shift — get out of the chair briefly at least once an hour or "power sit" (see

Asthma: It's that first breath that always seems the worst. The chest tightens and the airways spasm. A cough, a wheeze and an attack. Especially when it's exacerbatedby thecold ofwinter, asthma isadiscomfort for some and a medical issue for many. Almost 19 million American adults have adult-onset asthma, a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. About 90 percentofthem — and about 10 percentofthegeneralpopulation — periodically suffer a related condition called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, in which someone exercising suddenly struggles to beableto breathe,with little or no warning. It's understandable that adults with these conditions — and there are more all the time, due partly to poor air quality and other environmental factors — may find some types of fitness to be an arduous endeavor that ultimately won't be worth the effort. But experts say that knowledge ofboth conditions is improving and, in consultation with physicians, it is possible for sufferers to exercise and maintain an active lifestyle. 'Ten percent of Olympic athletes have asthma, so asthma won't stop individuals trom high functionality," said Albert Rizzo, chief of Christiana Care Health System's pulmonary and critical care medicine section in Delaware and senior medicaladviserfortheAmerican Lung Association.'With medication, they can go a long way." In fact, exercise can have beneficial effects on people with asthma symptoms."Exercise and staying fit is SeeAsthma / Page 5C
