A special good day to Herald subscriber James Lampkinsof Baker City.

Sports, 6A Tribute to the late Daryl Ross from sports editor Gerry Steele: I was saddened to hear of the passing of my former classmate, Daryl Ross, in Burns Feb. 17. Daryl, 60, and I both graduated from Baker High School in 1972. Arguably one of the best boys basketball players to play for the Bulldogs, Daryl anchored the middle on the 1972 Baker team that placed second in the Class 4A state tournament, losing to Jefferson59-52 in the title game at Memorial Coliseum. I was one of the managers on that team.

The work sessions qualify as public meetings under Oregon law, since a quorum of the Commission is present iwith just three commissioners, only two have to be present to constitute a quorum) and commissioners are discussing county business. Bennett said commissioners have not made any decisions during the work sessions, nor do they intend to.

Elishah Thomas remembers well the years she worked at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, and the lives she saw changed — for children and for horses. 'The ranch is an amazing place," she said. Thomas, who lives in Baker City, grew up in Tumalo, which is west of Bend. After she finished college, she worked on a youth ranch for awhile, and then heard about Crystal Peaks when she returned home.

A Pendleton man hiked about 17 miles on a snowbound road in the Blue Mountains westof Baker City, andhis wife and sister-in-law walked about2V2 miles last week after their four-wheel

drive rig got stuck in snow between Ukiah and Granite. All three came out of the ordeal with no major injuries. "But it could have had a different outcome," said Grant County Undersheriff Todd McKinley, who rescued

the two women who started walking toward Granite after third member of the group, one of the women's husbands, hadn't returned with help almost a full

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Feb. 27, 1965 Twenty-five persons attended a meeting of the Baker County Mental Health Planning Committee at Roy's Corral Wednesday to explore the possibility of establishing a mental health clinic in Baker County. President Ralph McNeil introduced Wesley B. Terwilliger from Eastern Oregon State Hospital in Pendleton, who advised on procedures and answered questions concerning the proposed project. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Feb. 27, 1990 The Baker County Sheriff's Department's plans to fly to the site of a Feb. 5 plane crash were delayed Monday. The department's plans were changed when the National Guard refused to attempt to land one of its helicopters on the mountainous terrain where the plane wreckage was sighted Saturday, saidTerry Speelman, Baker County sheriff. Instead, the sheriff's department planned to send a fourman crew to Red Mountain today on a Rambling Rotors helicopter from La Grande. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Feb. 28, 2005 For the fourth time in five years, Baker County commissioners have declared the obvious: There's a drought going on. The so-called "declaration of local disaster" has made its way through the state's Drought Council and now must be approvedby Gov.Ted Kulongoski.Then it'sonto U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns for final approval. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Feb. 28, 2014 Nanette Lehman had a hard time believing her good fortune when she was named Oregon's Teacher of the Year. But the fairy tale that began in the fall of 2012 is continuing for Lehman, who teaches second grade at Haines Elementary School. These days she is busy preparing for a June trip to China through the 2014 Global Learning Fellows Program. A group of 34 educators will travel to Beijing and Xian, China.

Johnson, 5J curriculum director, said in a press release. The new tests have been adopted as a way of measuring student learning under the new Common Core State Standards, which Oregon has adopted along with more than 40 other states, Johnson said. 'They are clear, consistent guidelines for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level in math and English language arts in order to graduatehigh schoolready forcollege,careers, and life," he stated in the press release.

The Smarter Balanced Assessments are expected to be more challenging, but will provide better information about where students are on their path to college and career readiness, Johnson said. Child care will be offered at the middle school during the forum and re&eshments will be served. Ma'Lena Wirth, the district's Spanish translator, also will be on hand.

STUCK Continued from Page1A The incident started Feb. 17 when Lonnie J. Hubbard, 58, his wife, Brenda K. Hubbard, 56, and Brenda's sister Sheri Deen, 52, left Pendleton about noon, intending to drive to Granite via Ukiah. The group was in the Hubbards'1993 Jeep Cherokee. Their intended route, along the Blue Mountain and Elkhorn scenic byways, is not plowed of snow during the winter. It is a snowmobile route, however. Although the road was covered in snow the Jeep was able to stay on top of the snow until Lonnie, who was driving, tried to turn around. He said he didn't have tire chains, which might have enabled him to extricate the vehicle. "Itjuststopped,"Brenda said. At that point the group was about 31 miles southeast of Ukiah, and about 17 miles northwest of Granite. About 7 p.m. on that first day, Feb. 17, Lonnie Hubbard decided to walk to Granite to get help, leaving his wife

have a gun. Deen spotted McKinley's vehicle first.

"She said 'lights, headlights,' " Brenda said."Sheri goes, 'are you here for us?' He said he was. We were glad to get into a warm rig." McKinley drove Brenda and Deen back to Granite and thentoward Sumpter, transferring them near Blue Springs Summit to a crew &om the Powder River Rural Fire Station at Mosquito Flat near Sumpter. The Powder River Rural crew then drove toward Baker City. A Baker City Fire Department ambulance picked up the women en route and brought them to St. Alphonsus Medical Center-Baker City, where both were treated and released later on Feb. 19. Brenda said doctors and nurses at the Baker City hospital"treated us like queens." The Pendleton trio's ordeal is similar to situations that play out almost every late winter or spring in the mountains, said John McDonald, a volunteer with the Powder River Rural Fire District. The snow on the Elkhorn

and Blue Mountain byways is compacted by snowmobiles to the point that wheeled vehicles don't sink in. But it's a precarious thing McKinley said. Warm temperatures can quickly soften the snow so that a vehicle's tires start

digging in. Driverssometimes get stuck trying to turn around, sincethe area compacted by snowmobiles is relatively narrow, McKinley said. "People need to be aware that it's still the backcountry," he said."Tell people where you're going and when you expect to get back." McKinley also urges travelerstocarry maps and to bring food, water and winter clothing whenever they venture into the mountains, even if you never intend to leave the pavement. Brenda has another piece of advice. "People should read signs carefull y, "she said,referring to a sign on the outskirts of Ukiah that warns travelers that the Blue Mountain Byway, though paved, is not maintained during winter.

re ons vaccina on exem ons 1IIll

The "debate" over vaccinations is misnamed. That vaccines are overwhelmingly effective and safe has been proved beyond any reasonable doubt by decades of unimpeached scientific studies. But even if for some peculiar reason you aren't convinced by the published research of the world's eminent immunologists, you need only consider how vaccines have changed America for the better. Kids don't die from polio or survive the disease but with crippling, permanent injury, as was depressingly common as recently as the 1950s. Other diseases that were once widespread — measles, mumps, whooping cough — have been nearly eradicated as well. The sole reason for these improvements is vaccines. Vaccines aren't perfect, of course. Very rarely they're ineffective for an individual. Even more rarely, a vaccine can seriously harm, or even kill, a child. Unfortunately, the minuscule risk of vaccines has been exaggerated to the point that in some places enough parents are withholding vaccines from their children that dangerous diseases we had nearly forgotten in America have been infecting more people than any time in past several decades. Oregon, sadly, is a leader in this trend. Our state has the highest rate of students who aren't fully vaccinated. Not coincidentally, Oregon reported more than 900 cases of whooping cough in 2012 — the state's most in more than 50 years. A state legislator wants to reverse this trend. Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, who is a medical doctor, is sponsoring Senate Bill 442. Under the current law, parents who don't want their kids to be vaccinated, but still enroll them in public school, can opt out of inoculations for medical, religious or philosophical reasons. In effect, for any reason they want. SB 442 would get rid of the latter two exemptions, leaving only the medical one, which of course is legitimate. The bill would apply not only to public schools, but also to students who want to attend private schools or daycares.

Oregon would join Mississippi (which averages just 60 to 100 whooping cough cases per year) and West Virginia as states that allow only a medical exemption from vaccinations for students attending public schools. The Legislature should pass SB 442, and Gov. Kate Brown should sign it into law. Parents could still say no to vaccines for their kids, of course. That option should always be available; it is, aker all, a free country. But Oregon shouldn't continue to be so accommodating to those parents. That approachhas helped almost-banished diseases revive and endangered students and others who, for various medical reasons, can't be vaccinated. That's unacceptable — the more so since it's a threat we've proved as a society can be almost completely avoided.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Brownnee sto rove er commitment to o enness Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Oregonians should not dreamily hope that Gov. Kate Brown's office is going to be a lot different from Gov. John Kitzhaber's office when it comes topublicrecords. There's always lots of such talk. Any skilled Oregon politician knows how to say the right things about the state's laws about openness. What matters is what they do. Kitzhaber used to say he wantedtoincreasetransparency to increase government accountability. But he delayed records requests by media organizations trying to discover ifhe or his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, waltzed right across ethical lines. In the final days ofhis administration, his office even tried to get

emails destroyed. Brown's new biography as governor says she was a leader "in increasing government transparency and accountability." In her first speech as governor, she pledged We also must strengthen laws to ensure timely release of public documents." But state officials have asked for a criminal investigation into the leaks of some of Kitzhaber's emails to the Willamette Week newspaper. Two employees at the state'sdata centerhave been placed on paid leave. Oregon State Police are investigating. The investigation doesn't have to go that way. It doesn't have to be a criminal investigation. It could be handled as a personnel matter. Remember what was in the

emails. They revealed Kitzhaber was saying one thing in public. In private, the tale was different. He cast doubt publicly that Hayes was a member ofhis household. The emails show a mingling of finances. That leak was embarrassing and inconvenient for Kitzhaber.Itwasdisconcerting and disturbing for those who have supported him. It should not be acrime toexpose the governor as a double-dealer. State officials have known foryears about theproblems with Oregon's public records laws. They are structured to be convenient — for public officials. Many documents are released in a timely way. But the law freely allows officials to delay a release or to effectively deny it by heaping on legal fees. Brown needs to change that.

It came to me, in one of those rare and random numerical epiphanies, that I have worked at the Baker City Herald for more than half my life.

ovin it Journalists, inevitably, become acquainted with people at difficult, and sometimes tragic, times. These awful episodes are of course balanced, in a sense, by stories of triumph and joy. But these extreme cases, of either kind, are the exceptions. M ost of thepeople I'vetalked with over more than 22 years, my pen scratchingacross a sheetof paper, had nothing dramatic to tell me. They invited me into their living rooms and offered me coffee. They talked of their hobbies and their children and their spouses and their jobs and their businesses. They scolded their dogs that tried to leap in my lap and slather my cheeks with slobber. I believe strongly that these seemingly mundane stories are not that at all. Indeed, I believe that the ordinary stories from people living ordinary lives tell an extraordinary taleabout thisplacewe love. I consider it a great privilege to have helped write even a minuscule chapter. And after nearly a quarter century I've not even begun to tire of this tale, and the characters who make it so worth telling. Jayson Jacoby is editor of the Baker City Herald.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2015

wim( Continued ~om Page1A The board then voted unanimously to offer Betty Palmer, another finalist for the superintendency, the job of assistant superintendent and director of curriculum and instruction. Palmer, 58, is principal of South Baker Intermediate School. The two were finalists in theboard'seffortsto hirea replacement for Superintendent Walt Wegener, who announced in October that he will retire June 30. A third finalist, Robert Vian, 67, superintendent of Joint School District 171 at Orofino, Idaho, withdrew his name from considerationforthejob prior to Thursday's meeting. The three were interviewed by the board Feb. 20 inpreparation for Thursday night's meeting. The next step will be for board members Chris Hawkins and Kevin Cassidytonegotiate contracts with Witty and Palmer. A special meeting will be calle d to take further action as needed, Andrew Bryan, board chair, said Thursday. Bryan declined to comment on other administrative changes that would be requiredas a resultof Palmer's reassignment.

Wegener said today that he will be working with Palmer, who is expected Wege ner to move into her new administrative role by March 9, to ensure a smooth transition. "Betty will be elevated to the position of interim superintendent with me as a consultant,"Wegener sald. He will especially point his efforts toward ensuring that math curriculum is aligned at all grade levels, working with the Legislature and "other duties as assigned." "That's something I'll work out with Betty when she and I sit down and talk about the transition," Wegener said. Whatever she wants, I'll give her." Anthony Johnson, the district's current curriculum director, has announced that he plans toretire attheend of this year, Wegener said. Palmer's role will not be an additional administrative position, but it will be somewhat different than Johnson's job, he said. Palmer has a plan for filling the vacancy that will be left at South Baker as she moves into the interim role as superintendent, Wegener said. "There are a dozen dif-

ferent ways to do that," he said, adding that the plan will be announced as soon as it is finalized. The board's March meeting will be a week earlier than usualMarch 10 — in order to meet state requirements regarding renewal of certified staffing contracts. Contract negotiations with Witty and Palmer should be finalized by that time, Wegener said. As the transition begins, Wegener will pursue otherjob opportunities as they come along and w ould be free to accept other employment while continuing to serve as a consultantfor the district through June 30 under the terms ofhis resignation agreement. Wegener, who was a finalist for a part-time job as superintendent of the Reedsport School District earlier this month, said he would be interested in other part-time jobs in smaller school districts as he eases into retirement. Wegener said the transition plan developed by the board is new to him, but he's confident it will succeed. "I find the process interesting and unique," Wegener said."The idea is to make the transition as smoothand effectiveas possible. If it works, it will be amazing."

Two directors were also the subject of a failed recall during that time. In the last two years with changes in the board, Knight's relationship with fellow directors has taken on a different tone. He ended his letter of resignation with a note of appreciation for his experience on the board. "I am honored to have worked with such a fine group of people in the capacity of improving the district and its functions for the betterment of the students and the community," Knight stated. Knight's term is set to expire June 30. March 19 is the deadline for candidates to file for the four-year position. In other businessThursday, the board: • Approved a 2015-16 calendar of174 teacher contract days and 147 student days. The calendar calls for teachers to report for work after summer break on Monday, Aug. 24. The first day of school is scheduled Aug. 31. Christmas break is scheduled Dec. 21 through Jan. 4, and spring break will be March 21-25. Classes will end on June 8, 2016, under the approved calendar. • Accepted the retirement of Sue Richard, Haines fifth- and sixth-grade teacher, and approved a one-year leave of absence for kindergarten teacher Jean Justus. • Learned that Diane Davis is retiring from her job as a paraprofessional at South Baker Intermediate School and that Dawn Light, a former substitute custodian, has been hired as a parttime custodian working 18 hours per week. • Approved the hiring of Dave Johnson as BHS assistant tennis coach for 2014-15 andTim Greene as BHS assistant trackcoach or 2014-15; and accepted the resignations ofAmy Powell as Baker Middle School track coach and Mike Knutson as BHS cross-country coach. • Honored Grant Ermovick of BakerTechnical Institute and Andrew Shetler as "Promise of Baker" students. — Chris Collins

Director Kyle Knight, who was elected to the Baker School Board as a 19-year-old while he was away at U.S. Army basic training four years ago, announcedThursday night that he will resign from the position March 31. In a letter to his fellow directors, Knight said he will be moving from the area "to focus on school and military service." Knight said today that his military training obligations will K nig h t be especially demanding this summer and he believes it would be best for the district if he steps down at this time. He plans to move to either La Grande or Portland to continue his studies in criminal justice and business. Knight began work as a long-haul truck driver last June and has attended most meetings telephonically since. He works from Portland. Knight, 23, was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about two years ago and put his education on hold and thought he would be unable to pursue a military career. Since then, the disease has been brought under control and he can again turn his sights to those goals, he said. Andrew Bryan, board chair, wished Knight well and expressed appreciation for his hard word on the board after receiving his resignation letter. Bryan and Knight are the only directors remaining from a slate that was split three to two for the first two years of Knight's term with Bryan and Knight on opposing sides of most issues. During that time, Knight filed complaints with the Secretary of State and Attorney General against his fellow directors and also filed a civil rights lawsuit against the district, the superintendent and fellow board members after he was censured by the board. The majority of the board took that action against him after accusing him of releasing confidential employee information to the media. The censure was lifted after the lawsuit was settled in mediation.

NORTH POWDER —A perfectly executed inbounds strike pulled Powder Valley out of its funk in the third quarter. ~ ha d just rattled ofF eight straight points, turning an eight-point Badger lead into a tie ballgame at 23-all with three minutes left in the period. Against thepressure defense of the Rangers, Savanah Stephens whipped a onehanded,football-style pass the length of the floor. On the other end was a sprinting Sam Kerns, who took it ofF one bounce and laid it in. The play galvanized Powder Valley, which would outscore Dufur 25-7 from that point on, including 15 unanswered points to close the game out, as the Badgers pulledaway fora 48-30 win over the Rangers Wednesday in a 1A first-round girls

basketball playofFgame. During Powder Valley's previous two possessions, Dufur had stolen the inbounds passesforfour straight points. On the pivotal inbounds, Kerns broke away from the mass in front of Stephens, who lofted in front of Kerns, just like the Badgers had drawn up. 'That's a back-breaker if you can make it work. It's a killer if it doesn't," Powder Valley coach Allen Bingham said.aWe work on that play, and wepracticetocatch it on the first bounce. It was a great pass." Kerns led the Badgers with 12 points. Stephens

I was saddened to hear of the passing of my former classmate, Daryl Ross, in Burns Feb. 17. Daryl, 60, and I both graduated from Baker High School in 1972. Arguably one of the best boysbasketballplayers to play for the Bulldogs, Daryl anchored the middle on the 1972 Baker team that placed second in the Class 4A state tournament, losing to Jefferson 59-52 in the title game at Memorial Coliseum. I was one of the managers on that team. I knew Daryl as far back as our freshman year at Baker Junior High School ithe freshman class still attended the current Middle

pAiI6P,

GERRY STEELE game. In 1972, we lost to Jefferson in that memorable title game. Daryl, who is a member of the Baker High School Wall of Fame, was named secondteam all-Intermountain Conference in 1971, and first team in 1972. Following graduation, Daryl played four seasons of Division I college ball at Montana State. A highlight for Baker fans was when Daryl and his MSU teammates played Freeman Williams and Portland State in the BHS gym. Daryl was named firstteam all-Big Sky Conference in 1976, his senior season at

School back then).

PowderValley'sAmanda Feik goes up for a shot through the defense of Dufur'sTaylor Darden Wednesday at North Powder. added 11 points, Amanda Feik had eight points and seven rebounds and Hallie Feik chipped in six points and three steals. The Badgers had 29 team rebounds, with many coming in the second half to finish the victory. "Rebounding was really big,"Amanda Feik said. aWithout that we wouldn't have won." Powder Valley's win sets up a second-round meeting at Condon/WheelerSaturday at 4 p.m., with the winner earninga trip tothestate tournament.

The Badgers used a 10-0 first-half run to take a 10-4 lead in the second quarter, and went into halfbme with an 18-12 lead. With the Badgers up 23-15, Dufur began to battle back with some full-court pressure. The Rangers' Hannah Harris scored ofFa steal,and Aimeelyn Miller hit a runner to cutthelead to 23-19 midway through the third quarter. After four straight Dufur free throws, Stephens found Kerns for the full-court heave, and stopped the ~ momentum.

Up by two at the start of the final period, Powder Valley's Taylor Martin scored inside, and Kerns found Amanda Feik in transition aftera stealto go up 31-25. Following Miller's free throw thatmade the score 33-30, the Badgers put the game away starting at the 6:30 mark. Kerns converted a 3-point play, and Amanda Feik scored ofF a putback of her own miss to go up seven. After a Badgers' free throw, Hallie Feik sliced into the lanefora scoreto putthe Badgers up 40-30 with 3:15 remaining. M artin scored ofFan offensive rebound, and Hallie Feik's 3-point play offher own stealpushed the lead to 15 and sealed the win. "I don't think iDufurl could handle this full-court man defense," Bingham said."Dufur is huge, but we felt like our guard play out at the middle ofthecourt was going to be a good thing for us, and it was."

The last time I visited with Daryl, who has lived in Burns for many years, was in 2008 when Coach Gary Hammond passed away. It was my task to try to contact all of the players on the 1972 team to hold a memorial at the Baker Elks

Lodge. Daryl actually called me at home and we had a nice visit aboutthe old days. A Celebration of Life is planned March 21 at the Burns Elks Lodge. Gerry Steete is Baker City Herald sports editor.

Baker City Police ChiefWyn Lohner is well armed in the event that Joe Curtis' hunting dogs locate the cougar seen in the Myrtle Street area west of Highway 7Wednesday. between Seventh and 10th streets, after a resident said he had seen a cougar along the ditch several times

recently. Again the hounds didn't find the cougar. "My biggest concern is that

this icougarl has taken up residency and will remain a threat to the community," Lohner said.

SHERIFF

"I'd like to think the Sheriff's Olfice is better ofFtoday than it was when I came," he said."The guys are more professional and more responsive to the community." Durrng hrs tenure, Southwick also has taken over supervision of the Parole and Probation Department, which has helped improve the department's working relationship with other law enforcement officers, he said. "And the Search and Rescue has done some wonderful things," Southwick said, pointing to rescues that gained national — and even international — attention. One of the more notable was the September 2007 rescue of 76-year-old Doris Anderson who was lost for 13 days near Eagle Creek in the Wallowa Mountains. Searchers also found lost hunter Greg Baker in 2005. Baker's company later donated

But because Southwick is retiring outside the general election cycle, the County Commission instead will appoint a replacement to fill out the term. A new sherifF then will be elected from among candidates who file to run for the position in 2016, Carpenter said. And the newly elected sheriff will serve a four-year term, beginning on the first Monday of January 2017, she sald. Southwick spoke highly of Ash in his press release: "Lieutenant Ash has been a valued employee of the SherifFs OIFrce since 2005 with several years' experience before that time. He is an exceptional police officer and effective leader and will continue to lead the Sheriff's Olfice in a positive direction." Southwick began his law enforcement career in 1971 as areserve policeoffi cer with the Pendleton Police Department. A year later he joined the Oregon State Police. He ended his 28-year career with the agency in 2000, after spending his last five years as a lieutenant and station commander of the Baker City OSP offrce. In retirement, he worked for the U.S. State Department as an international police officer with the United Nations in Kosovo &om 2002 to 2004beforetaking over as sheriff in 2005.

Continued ~om Page1A Southwick is more than halfway through his third term as sheriff, which was scheduled to end on Dec. 30, 2016. He was elected to a third term in office in November 2014afterdefeating challenger Dee Gorrell, a former longtime sheriff's deputy. In his first run for sheriff, Southwick was the top choice &om what began as a slate of five nonpartisan candidates. The group was pared to two in the primary — Southwick and longtime Baker City Police officer Kirk McKormick. Southwick went on to win the November 2004 general election. He tookoffi cein January 2005, replacing Troy Hale, who declined to run for a second term. Southwick ran unopposed for his second four-year term. The sherifF said the arrival of what he terms "a significant birthday" next week was a factor in his decision. "I've decided to do it — it was time. I'm tired," Southwick said in a telephone interview Wednesday."I might take up fishing, or whatever comes along. I'll have time to do whatever I want." As he prepares to step down in two months, Southwick looks back on his 10 years in office with pride.

SNOW IS SCARCE IN MOST OF OREGON, BUTTHE NORTHEAST CORNER AT LEAST RESEMBLES.....

VVesCom News Service

JOSEPH — The backcountry possibilities are infinite in the remote Wallowa Mountains and partnerships the U.S. Forest Service and volunteer groups make the Wallowa-Whitm an National Forestaveritable paradisefor snow sports. Sweyn Wall works in recreation at the forest's Wallowa Mountains Office. He said it takes a partnership to manage the hundreds of miles of trails. On the north end of the forest the Wallowa County Gamblers Snowmobile Club maintains and grooms a system of 200 miles of trail. On the south side of the Eagle Caps the Snowdrifters maintainCatherine Creek and Ladd Canyon and the Panhandlers Club grooms trails out of Halfway. Dave McConathy, a member of the Gamblers, said he and a handful of others maintain the roads from Salt Creek to Ollokot and as far as the Hells Canyon Overlook. Riders have many options between out and back routes and loops. ''We try to groom five days a week if conditions warrant," McConathy said. Cutting trees out of the trail takes up a lot of time as well. McConathy said what they like to do is have a snowmobile rider in front, stopping to cut blown down trees out of the way, with a snow cat driver following behind to groom. The cat, owned by the Oregon State

THE NEXT RIDE

The weather has been sort of odd lately. I'm pretty sure that we hit 60 degrees at least once in February. This may be a very sad thing for those who like to play in the snow, for the sunorientedcrowd itmay be cause forcelebration, or so the conventional wisdom would suggest. But Eastern Oregon is not conventional, and here's the thing that is amazing about our wonderful little part of the world — you can do almost everything right now. Some specific ideas for each weather preference could include:

Snow First about the resort skiing, snowboarding and cross country skiing — as of this writing, Anthony Lakes has a base depth of 49 inches. Two other major resorts in the state, Mt. Bachelor and Mt. Hood Meadows, have 47 inches and 31 inches, respectively. We have the best base in Oregon iagainl!

everything right also means that our ski season will hang tough well into spring. Which brings me to the backcountry. You are likely to be able to strap on the skins, march in to the peaks and track down the corn long after Anthony closesitsdoorsfor the season in April, and that applies to snowshoes as well. Forgive me for preaching to the choir here,but this season isfar from over. Trail

Alkali Canyon. It is organized with a main trail traveling both sides of the drainage and addition mileage available via the loops that link into it. This type of trail design can be easily adapted to match the time allotment and fitness level of the rider. The lack of rocks, copious amounts of smooth surface, flowing curves and pastoral scenery are very conduciveto both beginner and expertriders. A great basic ride on this trail system is about 11 miles long and starts on the west side ofAlkali Canyon traveling south on Loop A and Shayne's then connecting with loops B, D and Shelly's Trail. Loop A starts out gradually following the contours of the hillside gaining and losing elevation with delightfully banked corners, boardwalks and monstrous sagebrush.

Mountain bike trails near Echo are wellsuited to beginning as well as advanced See Next RidelPage 2C ri ders.

Right now the Mt. Emily Recreation Area iMERAl is fully open with dozens of trail miles for bikes and ATVs. It's also dried out, so it may well be the besttime to getup there before another round of snow or rain swings through, in which case you might even be able to switch over to the cross country skis again. And of course you can always go for a hike anywhere you please! If you want to be able to follow it through the bestapproach isto check elevation and snow levels, weather, etc. You don't want the snow moving in on you after postholing your way to top of China Cap.

Keeping the lines of communication open keeps problemsfrom getting outof hand —forinstance,potential resource damage or negative skier/snowmobile interactions, said the district's recreation manager, Curt Booher.

Wall said. Dustin James said there's been a snowmobile club in Wallowa County since the 1960s, originally called the Whiskey Bandits. Dedicated to good trail maintenance, members of the club helped build the Salt Creekhut,and they volunteer forsearch and rescue missions throughout the Wallowas. Last February McConathy helped rescue skiers trapped in an avalanche out of Cornucopia in Baker County. Two skiers died in that accident. Wall said the only assistancethevolunteersreceive is fuel reimbursement to get back and forth to Salt Creek Summit where the trails begin. McConathy said most of the club's members donate that money back for the snow cat's upkeep. The machine puts in a lot of miles. Most of the riding is on Forest Service roads with the Wallowa Mountain

BVlBIl WOI' • Birds will fake broken wings to lure possibl epredatorsaway from nests By Damian Fagan Forvvescom News service

KILLDEER Scientific name Charandrius vociferus

Characteristics Medium-sized shorebirds, killdeer are members of the plover family. At 10'/2 inches long, they have two black breast bands, a reddish orange rump, short pointed bills and white undersides. The brownish, pointed wings have long white wing stripes that are best seen when the bird is in flight. The large brown head has a white forehead and eyebrow stripe. The dark eye has a reddishorange eye ring.

Range Found throughout the United States and Canadian provinces during the breeding season; many of these birds winter in Mexico, Central America and South America.

Using a shallow depression as a nest site, killdeer nest on beaches, fields, pastures or along the edge of gravelly roads, and even on graveled roofs. The birds may add grass, shells, pebblesorother debristo the nest to help camouflage the site. The female lays three to six brown, speckled eggs that blend into the surroundings; both adults incubatethe eggs for 24 to 28 days. The young are able to walk and run soon after hatching but take about 25 days to fly. Pairs may raise up to three broods a year.

Habitat Killdeer are found in open areas such as marshes, ponds, pastures, agri-

cultural fields, golf courses, dirt parking lots or fallow fields. They are one of the leastwater-associated shorebirds.

Food Thesebirds eatinsects, invertebrates,snails,crayfish, dead minnows and seeds, often chasing prey on foot or with a short flight.

Bird facts Early-season migrants, the first ones are usually observed in Central and Northeastern Oregon in February. The common name comes from the bird's call 'kill-dee!N or'kill-deer." Early naturalists called them the noisy plover or chattering plover. The species name vociferous means "very loud voiced," which aptly applies to these birds. When danger threatens a nest site, the adult stretches out one wing and pretends to have a broken wing, thus luring the intruder away from the nest. If the intruder is a cow or horse, the killdeer fluffs up itsfeathers and spreadsits tail feathers up high behind its back and charges at the animal in an attempt to keep it away from the nest. The birds may also bob up and down before running away a short distance. Before mating, the adults engage in a"scrape ceremony," where the male lays down in a small depression or scrape, and digs with his feet. The female approaches, and then she sits in the scrape while the male stands nearby with his tail spread out, and calling rapidly. — Damian Fagan is a volunteer with t/re East

Callforstudvtosettleifanesthesiaposesrisktoiiaiiies By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Studies of baby animals have long suggested that going under anesthesia can have some harmful effects on a developing brain. Now some scientists want to find out whether those same drugs may pose subtle risks for human babies and toddlers. It'sa balancing act:Doctorsdon't want to unnecessarily fiighten parents whose tots need generalanesthesiafor crucialsurgery. There's no clearevidence ofside effects, such as learning or attention impairment, in youngsters. Wednesday, an anesthesia research group, partnered with the Food and Drug Administration, saidit'stim efor a large study of children younger than 3 to settle the question. Meanwhile, "surgeons, anesthesiologists and parentsshould consider carefully how urgently surgery

"Surgeons, anesthesiologists and parents should consider

care fully how urgently surgery is needed,particularly in children under 3yearsfoage." — Report in The New England Joumal of Medicine

is needed, particularly in children under 3 years of age," concluded a reportin TheNew England Journal of Medicine co-authored by the FDA's current and former anesthesia chiefs along with doctors in the SmartTots research partnership. Already, in the vast majority of cases, children that young only undergo surgery if it is medically necessary, not elective. Some operations, such astocorrectbirth defects, have better outcomes at earlier ages,surgeons recently told the FDA. "Millions of kids safely undergo anesthesia," stressed SmartTots co-

author Dr. Beverley Orser, a professor of anesthesia at the University of Toronto. Those drugs have been used for decades so any big risk would have been spotted by now, she said. But with animal studies raising the possibility of subtle effects on behavior or learning, "we have to sort this out," Orser added. At issue are drugs used for general anesthesia and sedation,notlocal anesthetics. Questions began years ago whenexperimentsin newborn rats showed such drugs could kill certain brain cells. The FDA formed a partnership with the International Anesthesia Research Society, called SmartTots, to better study the issue. In 2012, SmartTots, the FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a public caution about the uncertainty. Wednesday's report says studies in a range of species, including baby monkeys, have found similar

neurotoxic e%cts. Do they have lasting consequences? In some cases, the animals showed later impairments in memory and attention. Importantly, the cumulative dose mattered. That doesn't automatically translate to risk for humans. A few studies have tracked youngsters who underwent anesthesia earlier in life. Some haven't found problems, but one found those who received anesthesia multiple times had a higher risk of learning disabilities. Yet those kinds of studies can't tell ifany problem was due to a drug, the stressofsurgery orthe original medical condition, Orser noted. The proposed next step: A large, multihospital study that would assign youngsters now undergoing surgery to diferent kinds of anesthesia, and compare their outcomes. What's the message for parents? Occasionally, some ask about this issue, and doctors must help them weigh an unknown risk with

the fact that"your child needs to have surgery, and they do need an anesthetic," said Dr. Allison Kinder Ross, chiefofpediatric anesthesia at Duke University Medical Center, who wasn't involved with Wednesday's report. But anesthesia is used with some nonsurgical procedures, too, such as to keep tots still during MRI scans — and Rosssaid that'san area to try alternatives. For example, Duke has had parents or nurses crawl inside scanners to hold a child. "Under 3 is certainly more challenging, but it's doable for a lot of kids," Ross said. Last June, SmartTots convened doctors' groups to update itsearlier cautionary statement, and a draft now beingconsidered suggestspostponing surgeries or other medical procedures "that could reasonably be delayed" in children younger than 3. It's not clear whether that language will be adopted.

ASTHMA

Pove , race drive asthma rates up By Meredith Cohn

The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — It was the day after Mother's Day in 2012 when Faith Walker ran into her East Baltimore house unable to breathe. Her mother, Tyishia Walker, who suffers from asthma and has an older daughter with the disease, knew exactly what was wrong: Faith also had the chronic lung condition. "I'm sure it's &om living in the city," said Tyishia Walker."We have more rats, more mice. The house is old and moldy. I believe it makes a big difference." For the past 50 years, scientists also believed urban living led to higher rates of asthma in children. But new research fiom Johns Hopkins Children's Center disputes the notion that geography alone is a major risk factor for the disease and its telltale coughing, wheezing and breathlessness. Up to 20 percent of children in Baltimore City have asthma, compared with the national average of 9.4 percent, according to government data. There are, however, pockets around the country in suburban and rural areas where the prevalence of asthma is just as high, according to the study, recently published in the JournalofAllergy and

Income, race links The common links among 23,000 patient records reviewed from around the country appeared to be race, ethnicity and income, said Dr. Corinne Keet, a pediatric allergy and asthma specialist at Hopkins and the study'slead investigator. Public health advocates say the information could impact how health departm ents lal ocateresources in suburban and rural areas, ensuring that at-risk kids outsideofcitiesare screened and treated. Key risk factors for asthma include roach and other pestallergens,indoorsmoke, air pollution and premature births, but such issues are not exclusive to cities. Poor peopledon'tnecessarily escape poverty by moving out of inner cities, and those who are African-American or Puerto Rican, specifically, don't escape the genes that may be at play. Nationally, about 17 percent ofblack children and 20 percent of Puerto Rican children have asthma, compared with 10 percent of white children and 8 percent of Asian children, government data show. ''When we did the study we were expecting the prevalence to be higher in inner cities," Keet said.

''When we looked more closely at poor areas in cities and poorareas notin cities, we found there wasn't a big difference." Keet said more study is needed, but already some policy expertsand doctors say the research may help public health officials in directingresources outside of urban areas.

Potential funding impacts "The implications are clear," said Dr. Cary Sennett, president and CEO of the advocacy group Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America."Asthma is not a disease of the inner city, but affects children everywhere and, disproportionately, those who are living in poverty. In the wealthiest country in the world, we have much to do to address the problem of asthma in those who are most vulnerable — wherever they live." Poor families not only deal with more cases of asthma, he said, butmore severe episodes because they are less able to afford interventions such as home assessments and remediationof"triggers," such as mold, insect and rodent feces, and others.

"This study shows that we need to not only continue to provideeffective preventive care to the high-risk children in Baltimore City, but further study the need to expandtheseservicesto other communities as well," Bollinger said. The Hopkins researchers did not assess which cases were more severe, though they plan to study that next. Another ongoing Hopkins study is assessing if home allergen management, specifically control of mice and theirdroppings,im proves asthma symptoms in children.

That could mean the difference between having — or avoiding — a potentially fatal reaction, said Lisa Geschke Sawyer, a spokeswoman for the Seattle Food Allergy Consortium, or SeaFAC, which works to bring allergy-related clinical trials to Seattle. 'Your biggestfearisto get something with a little bit of ian allergen) in it," said Sawyer, whose own son is allergic to cashews and pistachios. "It's a big deal to have this here now." The double-blind trial included221 participants ages 6 to 55 — 113 of them under age 12 and 73 ages 12 to 17at sites in the U.S., Canada, France, the Netherlands and Poland. They were tested to see how much peanut protein it took to elicit a reaction, and then asked to wear adhesive patches infused with dosesof 50,100or 250 micrograms of peanut protein. Atter a year theywere tested again to see iftheirreaction thresholds were higher. The 250-microgram patch, the highest dose, was the most effective, according to the study led by Dr. Hugh Sampson,aprofessorofpediatric allergy and immunity at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In children ages 6 to 11, more than 53 percent re-

sponded to the infused patch, versus less than 20 percent who responded to a placebo. Significantly, none of the participants required epinephrine injections to stop allergic reactions, indicating that the patch is safe, Tilles said. The results are encouraging, said Dr. James Baker, chief executive of Food Allergy Research & Education, or FARE, an advocacy group. About 15 million people in the U.S. have food allergies, and the rate of peanut allergies among children tripled between 1997 and 2008, accordingto the Centersfor Disease Control and Prevention. "It is a crucial time to accelerate thedevelopment of new therapeutics," Baker sald. The next step is a Phase III clinical trial, the final hurdle before submitting the productforconsideration by the federal Food and Drug Administration. If all goes well, the product could be available in 2018, Tilles said. The recent Phase IIb trial lasted a year, but Spencer's father, David Baty, 53, said the boy was accepted into a two-year extended program in which he'll continue applying the peanut patches to his backeveryday.Thefamily would have participated in the trial simply in the interestofadvancing science,but the benefit for Spencer has been remarkable, the Batys sald. "I like having the bit of cushion that I have," Spencer said."If I eat something, it's not the end of the world."

Rebecca Fincher and her husband Bill of Johns Creek, Georgia, were among the first to share a story about the daily struggles of raising a special needs child. "It's like scheduling around a newborn or toddler that never grows up," said Rebecca Fincher.'You have to plan and act on the needs of that person 24 hours a day." At 22, John Fincher is the youngest of the couple's three children. Last October, he aged out ofhigh school without funding for a Medicaid waiver but was recently granted one. Without it, Fincher said he wouldn't have muchofa future and neither would she. Fincher feels luckier than most, but her personal and

professional life have suffered. "I'd love to work on a habitat house routinely work out at the Y, travel with my husband but even a trip to the grocery store has to be scheduled and planned for," she said. The public rarely sees the demands caregivers face, Sass said. They don't see them feeding them, bathing them, liNng them. 'That's part of the personal story that they don't share," she said."I hope the photo essays I have created will provide a better understanding of the unique challenges people with developmental disabilities and their families experience in their daily lives and whyfunding forsupport is critical."

raising money to build a longhouse. The longhouse, I was told, is where religious ceremonies and feasts are held. A couple years ago, the Homeland Project board and volunteersbuiltabarbecue tocook salmon. If you've never been to the Friendship Feast the last day of Tamkaliks, a pow wow held each July, you are missing out on some of the tastiest salmon. Salmon is considered a first food for the Nez Perce and other tribes along the Columbia River and its tributaries. I got a lesson in both first

HEALTHY LIVING KATY NESBITT foods and longhouse ceremonies when the Homeland Project finished construction of a commercial kitchen on the Tamkaliks grounds. The meal is a holy experience starting with salmon, then game, followed by camas and berries. The drink of choice is water. I also learned that the Nez Perceconsider food asme dicine. That made me stop and think about the definitions of medicine. Without food we cannot live. In

light of the Complete Health Improvement Program, I am thinking of food as medicine and more than fuel for the body; if we choose the right foods, we gain better health than on a diet of Cheetos and Coca-Cola. When I talk to my classmates, invariably they say they feel better. I notice now a difference if I have too much salt, eat cheese or havetoo big ofa serving of meat or meat that is fatty. With a meal loaded with vegetables with either a light portion of meat or legumes instead, I don't feel as lethargically full. I read an article several months ago that said meat

should be used sparingly, not as the center of the meal. It's hard to shift from meat taking up a good thirdoftheplate reduced tomo re of a condiment or small side dish. When you ask someone what they had for dinner, they usually say,'%e had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans,rollsand salad." Meat leads the list. Last week, much to the chagrin of fiiends who raise beef, nutrition specialists recommended that Americans eat less meat. They also said eggs aren't as bad for you as once thought.

HEALTH TIP

Teens' lack of sleep increaseshealth risks

Wallowa County Caregivers meet regularly

A recent study indicates teens aren't sleeping as much as they need to. Those14 to17 need about i eight to 10 hours of sleep each night, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Without enough sleep, risk increases for things like substance abuse, weight gain, mental health issues and trouble in school. Parents can help by encouraging teens to get homework done before bedtime, discouraging caffeine use later in the day and reminding their teens to try to go to bed at the same time each night.

Wallowa County Caregivers, a recently formed free support group for anyone caring for a loved one, meets twice a month in theWallowa Memorial Hospital's conference room. The confidential meetings take place at 3 p.m. on the first and thirdTuesday of the month. "Come as you are. Stay as long as you can," organizers of the group said.
