me r will
explore his genealogy and find that his ancestors journeyed West on the Trail. Shooting for the episode took place in May, when Grammer and a small filming crew from Los Angeles arrivedatthe center. "They were very friendly and helpful," said Kelly Burns, a visitor information specialist at NHOTIC, about the crew."Kelsey Grammer himself was a very nice man. "They contacted us earlier in the spring and told us that they wanted to use our site for filming a documentary." Grammer's visit was part of astring ofstopsthat included libraries in both San Francisco and Oakland, California.

thorities on the south Oregon coastare trying to determine why a 34-year-old man lured his father to his death at a remote campsite, then drove to a beach where he shot five vehicles in a parking lot, killing a Michigan camper who was sleeping in his vehicle. The gunman then killed himself, a prosecutor says. When officers went to inform Zachary Brimhall's mother of her son's death, she asked them, 'Where's my husband, Ray?" Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said. That's when they learned that the younger man had called his father, 58-year-old William Ray Brimhall of Dillard, Oregon, on Monday to say his car had broken down at a Coos County campsite and he needed help. Investigators think the elder Brimhall was fatally shot shortly after he reached the campsite Monday night, Frasier said. The older man's body, shot multiple times, was found Tuesday near his vehicle on a remote logging road in the Coast Range.

Kelsey Grammer, center, visited the National Historic Oregon Trail lnterpretive Center in May to film of an episode of "Who Do You ThinkYou Are7" airing tonight at 9 onTLC.
'They were veryfriendly and helpful.Kelsey Grammer himsel f was a very nice man.' Kelly Burns, NHOTIC visitor information specialist, speaking of the special visitor and the film crew
Burns said that it's actually quite common for NHOTIC visitors to come in looking for information aboutrelatives. This isn't exactly easy. "People sometimes believe that we must have a list somewhere," of trail migrants, "but that doesn't exist anywhere," she said. Burns likened the migrants'journey to a modern family moving out of their house. ''When you rent a U-Haul to move, there's no sign-out sheet for your house when

you leave," she said. So while it's possible to use peripheral resources like diaries, letters, and landdeeds to piecetogether estimates of who journeyed West on the trail, Burns said that"that's not close to everybody who came." All in all, Burns said that the May filming session appeared to be a big success. "iGrammerl was appreciative to find out what he knew," she said. "He felt he and his wife would do more researching on their own."
• What: Episode of Who Do You ThinkYou Are?' to feature Kelsey Grammer's visit to the Oregon TrailInterpretive Center. • When: At 9 o'clock tonight. • Where: On TLC (The Learning Channel). • Why: Grammer traveled to Baker City in May to film the episode, which features people who are searching for details of their family's history.
U.S. Forest Service is continuing to remove wild horses from the Murderers Creek section of the Malheur National Forest but is holding offon aggressive action until a new environmental impact statement is finished. Lastyear,aspartofa settlement to a lawsuit brought by Grant County ranchers, the agency agreed to gradually reduce the number of wild horses in the area until it is within the range it says the area can healthily support, known as the Allowable Management Level, or AML. The AML for the 62,000acre range was set at 50 to 140 horses in the 2007 wild horse herd management plan. The agency is working on a new planning document, Tom Hilken, the Forest Service's range program manager for the Pacific Northwest region, said last week. See HORSES /Page A3

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 20, 1964 The Baker County LivestockAssociation last night withheld official comment on the beef import bill that passed Congress Tuesday pending a full study of the provisions of the compromise measure. The bill created machinery to apply a flexible system of quotas to block excessive imports of beef, veal and mutton. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 21, 1989 Even though the are jobs available and people to fill those jobs, the social structure makes it more attractive for people who could work to stay home. That's the problem a group of business leaders mulled Friday during a forum jointly sponsored by the Baker CountyVisitor and Convention Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce. Although a statewide problem, most Baker businessmen agree that unless peoples attitude toward work changes, there will continue to be severe manpower shortages in the local hospitality industry. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 20, 2004 Two teams of fire experts have taken over the task of keeping tabs on a trio of blazes that has burned about 865 acres in the Eagle Cap Wilderness east of Cove, and could spread across several thousand acres before the snow flies. The teams' presence allows local Forest Service fire managers to focus on putting out new fires outside the wilderness, said John Denne, public affairs officer for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 28, 2013 Some Baker City Councilors still have questions, but on Tuesday the council didn't object to the city continuing to work toward using ultraviolet light to protect drinking water from cryptosporidium and other parasites. Until a treatment system is constructed and fully operating, residents will be sitting on "pins and needles," said David Leland, the Oregon Health Authority's interim director of the Center for Health Protection. Leland assured the councilors that a UV treatment system is "still an option" that would comply with a 2006 federal rule requiring cities that don't filter their water, such as Baker City, to add a treatment method that deals with crypto, which is resistant to the chlorine the city now adds to its water as a disinfectant. Hundreds of residents, and possibly a thousand or more, likely were infected with crypto in the city's water in July.

STATE AND NATIONAL NEWS
after SulIEiueli llrOteStS,S.S. Courtney wantsmoney to
llttarneyarrieeSinMiSSOuriprepare for earthquakes CLAYTON, Mo. iAPl — As his father was killed while U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in Missouri on Wednesday, a small group of protestersgathered outside the building where a grand jury could begin hearing evidence to determine whether a Ferguson police officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown should be charged in his death. Outside the St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton, where the grand jury was expected to convene, two dozenprotesters gatheredin a circlefor a prayer, chanted, and held signs urging prosecutor Bob McCulloch to step aside. Nearly two dozen officers guarded the building's main entrance, which also was blocked off with yellow police tape. McCulloch's deep family connections to police have been cited by some black leaders who question his ability to be impartial in the case of Darren Wilson — the white officer who fatally shot the unarmed Brown on Aug. 9. McCulloch's father, mother, brother, uncle and cousin all worked for the St. Louis Police Department, and
HORSES Continued ~om Page1A ''We really want to get this new plan in place that's going to be looking at the latest science and management tools that may allow us to be a little more aggressive to get down to our AML," said Hilken. ''We're continuing to cull the herd over time." In recent months, the agency has removed a handful of horses, focusing mainly on the five or six animals that have wandered off of federal land onto private property, he said. 'They've gotten outside the designatedterritory and are on private property. That's where our priority is now," he said. The herd currently stands around 200 or 220 horses, he said. Reducing their numbers poses a challenge for
responding to a call involving a black suspect. The prosecutor, who is white, has insisted his background will have no bearing on the handling of the Brown case, which has touched off days of rancorous nighttime protests during which authorit iesused teargas and rubber bullets to clear the streets of the St. Louis suburb where he was killed. The protests were more subdued Tuesday night, with smaller crowds, fewer confrontations and no tear gas. Police said they still made 47 arrests, but mainly of people who defied orders to disperse. Tensions rose briefl y when someone hurled abottl e atofficers,butthere were no reports of gunfire or the clashes that had marked previous nights. The slight easing of tensionspreceded the visit during which Holder was expected to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown's death, as well as with community leaders.Ho lder arrived in St. Louis shortly before 11 a.m.
land-management officials because the herd grows by about 20 percent every year. ''We do not cull during the foaling period," Hilken said. Most of the wild horses and burros on public lands in 10 Western states roam lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. More than half of the Murderers Creek herd, which is overseen by the U.S. Forest Service, are"timber horses" that live in mountainous areas, using Ponderosa pine and mixed conifer thickets as shelter. According to BLM estim ates, 33,780 wild horses and 6,825 burros live on public lands overseen by the agency across 10 Western states. This is almost 14,000 more than the total the agency believes the rangelands can support. In Oregon, the BLM estimatesthere are3,120

CST Wednesday, along with several Justice Department officials including members of its Civil Rights division. In a letter published late Tuesday on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website, Holder promised a thorough investigation while calling for an end to the violence in Ferguson. He said the bond of trust between law enforcement and the public is "all-important" but also "6agile. "Arrest patterns "mustnotlead to disparate treatment under the law, even if such treatment is unintended. And police forces should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve," Holder wrote. He said the Justice Department would "defend the rightofprotestersto peacefully demonstrate and for the m edia to cover a story that must be told." The department has mounted an unusually swift and aggressive response to Brown's death, from conducting an independent autopsy to sending dozens of FBI agents to Ferguson in search of witnesses to the shooting.
wild horses and 60 burros as of March, more than the 2,715 maximum envisioned as the state's AML. Another 50,000 wild horses are kept in federal holding pens. According to a 2001 genetic analysis of the Murderers Creek horses, the herd is genetically distinct from the other herds found roaming Western rangelands. Many of the horses appear to be descendantsofhorses lostorset free by farmers and ranchers and genetically resemble American light racing and

SALEM iAPl — Oregon Senate President Peter Courtney on Tuesday called forthe state totakeon
$200 million in debt to help prepareschoolbuildings fora devastating earthquake that scientists say could come at any time. A 2007 analysis of Oregon's school buildings found that more than 1,000 were at a high or very high risk of collapsing in a major quake. ''We do have this responsibility to the children to get the schools to the point where they can take this kind ofhit," Courtney, a Salem Democrat, said at a news conference at a Salem elementary school. Experts say the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Oregon coast shifts on average every 300 years, causing massive earthquakes on par with the magnitude-9.0 temblor that shook Japan in 2011. The last Cascadia earthquake was in 1700. School construction is generally the responsibility oflocal school districts. Some have done more than others to retrofit their buildings, often with bonds approved by voters. Courtney said the
money would be available to all schoolswithout regard to how much money local taxpayers have committed. Courtney has long advocatedimprovements in earthquake safety at schools, but fixes often lose out tootherprioritiesin the Legislature. The proposal couldface betterodds next year, however, as lawmakers look at retrofitting their own offices in the state Capitol. Republicans signaled it won't be an easy slam dunk. They criticized Courtney's move and said school upgrades should take precedenceovercapitalim provements that are estimated to cost at least $250 million. The GOP has targeted Courtney in the November election, but he's the frontrunner in a district that favors Democrats. "I'm not opposed to improving the capitol and making sure that it's seismically safe," said state Rep.Mike McLane, the top Republican in the House."But before I'm going to vote for $300 million of taxpayer money in order to make it safe ... I think we have to first say, What other places are we going to make
safe in a big earthquake?"' The $200 million Courtney is requesting would fund grants up to $1.5 million per school through an existing seismic retrofit program. It would be a significant increaseover the $34 million that lawmakers have allocated to school retrofits since 2005. Some schools can be retrofitted for less than the $1.5 million grants, while others have required significantly more money, said Gloria Zacharias, who manages the grant program for the Oregon Business Development Department. A school's size, soil and construction materials have a big impact on its vulnerability and the price tag for stabilizing it. Chirsty Perry, superintendent of Salem-Keizer Public Schools, said her district has used its own bonding authoritytoprepare some ofits schools for earthquakes. But there's more work to do, she said, and the state money would be a boost. State bonding is limited to ensure debt payments don't consume more than 5 percent of the general fund budget each year.
Chamber dumps money into primray WASHINGTON iAPl — The U.S.Chamber of Commerce is stepping in to help a Republican preferred by the establishment in a bruising three-way Arizona primary in one of the most competitive House districts in the country. The powerful business group is putting hundreds of thousands of dollars behind a television ad for state House Speaker Andy Tobin, filling a void for the financially strapped GOP candidate, who has been unable to spend on television advertising. Tobin's two GOP rivals — businessman and rancher Gary Kiehne and state lawmaker Adam Kwasman — are already on the air
with ads. The primary is Tuesday but early voting began July 31. The Chamber ad, which begins airing on Thursday on broadcast and cable, focuses on Tobin and the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, and makes no mention of the two other Republicans. In the ad, grainy black-and-white images of House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Kirkpatrick give way to color shots of Tobin and the question,'Who will work to stop an out-of-control Washington? Andy Tobin will, the rock-solid conservative we need in Washington."

GUEST EDITORIAL
oesn BVC 0 1B Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:
Last year, the Oregon Legislature created a task force to look into the possibility of creating a staterun retirement plan open to all working Oregonians. It did so rather than simply getting the state into the retirement business, though it should have been clear that the task force would recommend going ahead with the idea. And so it has, or at least that's the conclusion drawn in a draR of its final report to the 2015 Legislature. Too many Oregonians retire without the resources to live out their years in relative comfort, the report says. Too few employers oA'er retirement plans, and not all employees participate when given the opportunity to do so. The state should step in to take up the slack.
Bad, bad idea. What the state envisions is a system in which employees are enrolled when they take a job. They may opt out, but if they do not their contribution will be automatically deducted from their paychecks. Employers would not be required to participate, though they would be responsible for enrollment paperwork. It may sound good, but it loses its luster on closer inspection. The task force does not discuss who will pick up the fees for a system in which a state board hires and overseesprivatefund managers. Fund managers are nice folks, to be sure, but they do not work for free. The report touts the notion of portability of an account from job to job. Yet employees already have the ability to move money from one retirement plan to another without being charged taxes or penalties. Nor does the report suggest what the impact of a state-run, automatic-enrollment system would be on privately offered retirement plans. Would private retirement plans be allowed to disappear without penalty? Or would employees who work for those companies be exempted from state enrollment? We'll agree with the task force on one thing: Too few Oregonians have enough cash stashed for a comfortable retirement. The solution, however, is not a state-run retirement system, but a better effort at educating our citizens and — perhaps — exploration of ways to assist small employers in setting up plans of their own.

oma iccure or e ression We are all shocked and saddened by last week's apparent suicide of Robin Williams. It leaves us all with a number of questions, induding: How could it happen to him? He was so successfui. Why couldn't they cure him? He had accessto the bestm entalhealth care available. Why couldn't this be prevented? Couldn't anyone see it coming? Ifit happened to him, could it happen to anyone? M ost people underestimate theseverityand epidemic proportions ofdepression, which Williams reportedly suffered from. Why else would most health plans offer such inferiorcoverage form entalhealth treatment compared with what they do for skin rashes. One could argue indefinitely about w hat percentage ofdepression isgenetic, biochemical, or cognitive in origin; but it's clear that once you have it, you need a great amount of qualified professional help to recover. And there is no happy pill. Prozac was never a cure-all. Way too many doctors, pharmaceuticai firms and healthinsurance entities would rather you take medicine than go repeatedly to a qualified psychotherapist. Yes, it's true that we cannot tell youin advance how many sessions it would take to get you on an even keel. And yet insurance-plan providers,
ANN ROSEN SPECTOR people who often are without any mentalhealth training, think they can decide. Depression respects no borders, nor education, race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or age. Itis clearly exacerbated by life events but the number ofhighly successful people who suffer with itis very high. Take a look at"Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness" by prize-winning author William Styron. The book is a short but elegantintroduction to the vortex ofhelplessness and hopelessness that he felt, even as he was at the pinnacle of success. Undoubtedly, Robin Williams had access to world-class professionals. Did he use them effectively? Even ifhe attended therapy on a regular basis, it still only adds up to several hours a week. Unless you buyyour own psychologist, someone who can live with you 247, you are going to have many more hours without that support than with it. It is essential that your network of support also includes family and friends, people who can be with you through your own darkest hours; that is diKcult becauseboutsofdepression can lastfor protracted periods of time and, fiankly, peoplegettired ofyour depression.Some ofthatreaction isbased on thefearof

Many people who discuss suicidal intent never follow through; many who succeed havenevertold anyone.Ifonem akes a suicide attempt and survives, most of the time that person would be hospitalized in a psychiatric facility or wing — for 72 hours.

BRIEFING Police have beef with shopliRer PORTLAND iAPl — Police have a beef with a man they say stole meat worth $2,700 from three Safeway stores in Portland. Police say 53-year-old Barry T. Sanders was caught on video hiding meat in a shopping cart at least 13 times in July and August, then leaving the grocery stores without
paying. KOIN reports Sanders was arraigned Tuesday on theft charges in Multnomah County Circuit Court. He didn't enter a plea and will be assigned a lawyer on Wednesday.
Arena at Oregon State Fairgrounds unsafe SALEM iAPl — Dozens of teens expecting to compete at the 4-H Horse Fair at the Oregon State Fairgrounds left Salem disappointed Tuesday after events such as barrel racing were canceled because the arena is unsafe. The deputy director of Oregon State Parks, MG Devereux, told the Statesman Journal that crews worked all night Monday but they were unable to condition the packed dirt to give horses the needed traction for quick starts and stops. He says footing has been increasingly diKcult to manage at the arena, which was built in 1919.
Oregon man explains bonfire gunshots COOS BAY iAPl — If there's a lesson to be learned from the account that Coos County sherifFs officers heard recently, it might be this: If you bring your gun to a fire you've built on the beach, be very sure you know where it 1s.
Sgt. Pat Downing says deputies headed to a Coos Bay, Oregon, hospital last Friday night after a 27-year-old Grants Pass man called to say he had shot himself in the
leg. The man said he and two friends had built a fire out on a beach, burning brush they brought with them. The 27-year-old said he set his .38-caliber pistol on the tailgate ofhis truck. At some point as brush was being thrown on the fire, the gun ended up there too. It soon discharged three rounds. One hit the Grants Pass man in the lower right thigh, and another grazed a second man's abdomen. The deputies' assessment: investigation showed the story to be true. Case closed.

PORTLAND — The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday reinstated the conviction of an Oregon man in a sex abuse case more than a decade ago. Scott Jones of Lincoln County was found guilty in 2003 of unlawful sexual penetration. The female and two witnesses recanted their testimony years later, leading a federaljudge tothrow out the conviction. The appeals court, however, noted that all three people came forward with new stories at roughly the same time, casting doubt on their veracity. Even if they were telling the truth, the court said, theirrevised accounts were not enough to prove that Jones is actually

SACRAMENTO, Calif. iAPl — Members of three Northern California Indian tribes rallied outside a federal water agency office in Sacramento to demand more water be releasedfrom reservoirstoprevent the spread ofa parasite among salmon returning to the Klamath River to spawn. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation says Regional Director David Murillo met for an hour Tuesday with members of the Hoopa Valley, Yurok and Karuk tribes. There was no indication the bureau was changing its plans to hold off any water releases until significant numbers of salmon begin to die. But Murillo said in a statement they are closely watching the situation and meeting with interested parties. The Klamath Basin is in a severe drought, which has forced cuts in irrigation for farms, as well as river levels for

Enterprise-based renewable energy company installs Ahican school's irrigation system By Katy Nesbitt Wescom News Service
ENTERPRISE — Installing renewable energy projects in Africa is becoming a regular part of Matt King's summer. The renewable energy coordinator for Wallowa Resources recently returned from a trip to Malawi and Rwanda with Ben Henson of Renewable Energy Solutions, an Enterprise-based company that does a lot of work in Alrica. Last summer, King installed solar-poweredirrigation pumps in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia "Farmers around here are familiar with those pumps," King said.'They save Alrican farmers from carrying water on their heads from the source, like the closestriver orlake,to their farm." In Rwanda, King helped change out a flood irrigation system to a sprinkler-based one at a school for girls. Rwanda is almost 20 years beyond the civil war genocide where 1 million people were slaughtered. Under the military dictatorship that now rules the country, King said there is the presence of armed military"all over the place," but the tight confrol has some interesting aspects. Plastic bags are outlawed and the country is incredibly clean; there is no trash to be seen. King said the last Saturday of every month is a nationwide, mandatory community service day in which every citizen must complete three hours of community service like picking up trash, digging ditches or painting the school. "It's incredibly developed and safe to ensure the genocide doesn't happen again," King said. He went on to say that the

The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Oregon state regulators rejectedaproposalfor acoalterminalon the Columbia River that would be a conduit for exporting millions of tons of American coal a year to Asia. The decision is a victory for tribal groups that said the terminal threatened their fishing and environmentalists opposed to sending what they call"dirty coal" abroad. In denying an important permit, the Department of State Lands said Monday the terminal would interfere with what regulators called "a small but important and longstanding fishery in the state's waters." The department said the applicant, Ambre Energy, presented some possible optionsto mitigate the effect on fishing but failed to commit to any specific action. It also said Ambrehadn'tproperly investigated alternatives that would avoid construction of a new dock. "From reading more than 20,000 public comments to carefully analyzing technical

WASHINGTON — A message for new parents: get ready for sticker shock. A child born in 2013 will cost a middle-income American family an average
of $245,340 until he or she reaches the age of 18, with families living in the Northeasttaking on a greater burden, according to a report out Monday. And that doesn't includecollege— orexpenses if a child lives at home after
age 17. "In today's economy, it's importanttobeprepared with as much information as possible when planning for the future," said USDA Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Under Secretary Kevin Concannon."In addition to giving families with children an indication of expenses they might want to be preparedfor,thereportis a critical resource for state governments in determining child support guidelines and fostercarepayments."
Those costs that are included — food, housing, childcare and education — rose 1.8 percent over the previous year, the Agriculture Department's new "Expenditures on Children and Families" reportsaid.Asin the past, families in the urban Northeast will spend more than families in the urban South and rural parts of the U.S., or
In 1960, the first year the reportwas issued,a middleincome family could spend about $25,230, equivalent
to $198,560 in 2013 dollars,

KELLER Continued from Page IB answer depends on the attitude of the owner. Employees look to the owner for a sense of mission, a sense of purpose. Only the owner can provide this. This can't be delegated. A mission also is what sets one organization apart from all the others. It's unique. The mission tells every employee what they need to be doing every day. Those who don't know what the mission is need to have it explained to them. Those who need help making sure they understand what they need to do every day to be in alignment with the mission need to be coached. Those who don't agree with the mission need to find another organization to earn a paycheck. A mission statement is not"to make money." Some owners, unfortunately, don't understand that, and while they may be wealthy, they lead organizations that are not built on anything but greed and profit. Owners need to continually be learning and applying what is learned. No company can get better at what it does without the person at the top getting better at what they

aresupposed tobedoing:leading. When employees see their owner improving how he or she can become better at the top leadership position, they know they are working for an individual who is in business for the long haul. No employee I've ever met wants to be around someone who already knows everything and is constantly trumpeting that
belief. Employees want to be with a winner, not a whiner. Employees want to know that when times are tough, that their boss will keep fighting, not throwing in the white towel or tossing a temper tantrum. Being an owner is not the same thing as beinga leader.Leaders have fargreater responsibility. It's a shame many owners don't see the distinction because they act like owners when they should be leading an organization.
DEAR CARRIE: I am a career coach. A client told me about an unusual interview her 28-year-old daughter had recently. An interviewer asked her, 'What's one thingyou don't want me to know about you?"It seems like an inappropriate question. Is it even legal? I've also heard of people being asked, 'What wasone questionyou were hoping I wouldn't ask today?" Just wondering what your take is on these kinds of queries. — Questionable Queries
DEAR QUESTIONABLE: Before I offer my thoughts on the queries, I asked the letter writer if she wanted to weigh in as a career coach. For the first question about revealing something the interviewee didn't want the interviewer to know, the coach suggested the interviewee try answering with something completely irrelevant to work, such as, "I'm atraid of heights." "Iftheinterviewer pressesfora diferent answer," the coach said, "I would say,'I'm not sure what you're asking in terms of my candidacyfor thisposition."' Then she said the interviewee should wait for a response. "Listen to your gut," she said."If you feel the interviewer is deliberately trying to make you uncomfortable, you might consider getting up and reaching out to shake hands as you say, 'I don't think this is going to be a good fit for me. Thanks for your time."' As for the second query, "What was one question you were hoping I wouldn't ask today?" the coach said the interviewee should offer up a response that incorporatessome free-association, such as hoping the interviewer wouldn't ask, "If

you werean animal, which one would you
be?" Answer the question in a way that showcases your skills, she said. "Name the animal and the qualities ofthatanimal that aretied tojob performance," the coach said."My favorite answer is horse: They are strong and function well independently or as part of a team." The interviewer probably thought he or she was being edgy with such questions. But instead the company representative was dancing around a precipice. Questions like that are risky because the interviewer could break the law ifhe or she presses the job candidate to reveal things like his or her m arital status,orin the case ofan olderjob candidate, the person's age. Anyone asked such ill-suited questions should play along but keep his or her answers simple to avoid getting mired in such a strange line of inquiry. To the question,'What's one thing you don't want me to know about you?" I would answer,"I like putting hot sauce on scrambled eggs." For the other question, I would answer, "I was hoping you wouldn't ask me if I could start tomorrow."

THURSDAY,AUGUST 2), 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you can sometimes be a little too aggressive for your good. This aggression is borne of a desire to take charge, to see things progress at apacethat suits you, and to steer the course of events in a certain diraction. You must always remember, however, that while your ideas about what should be done, and how, will be shared by many, not everyone will agree with you — either in theory or in practice. You will certainly encounteryour share of confl ict as you progress through life. You are likely to shine at one thing, yet you will insist upon learning about a great many others. You are not the kind to think that only one line of endeavor will satisfy you throughout an entire lifetime. FRIDAY, AUGUST22 have been expecting comes to you from a surpri sing sourceand sendsyou offin a surprising new direction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)--What begins

Obama administration is promising to change the way travelers can ask to be removed from its no-fly list of suspectedterroristsbanned from air travel. The decision comes after a federaljudge'sruling that there was no meaningful way to challenge the designation, a situation deemed unconstitutional. In response, the Justice Department said the U.S. will change the process during the next six months. As of late last summer, about 48,000 people were on the no-fly list. The government's policy is never to confirm or deny that a person actually is on the no-fly list, citing national security concerns. In most instances, travelersassume they are on the list because theyareinstructed to go through additional screening at airports orbecause they are told they can't board their flights to, from or within the United States. The no-fly list is one of the government's most controversial post-9/11 counterterrorismprograms because of its lack of due process, long criticized because people cannot know why they were placed on the list and lack an effective way to fight the decision. Changing how people can challenge their designation could amount to one of the government's most significant adjustments to how it manages the list. "It's long pasttim eforthe government to revamp its general procedures," said
cons i der it money well spent.

DEAR CURRENT
DEAR ABBY: My 18-yearold daughter was killed in an auto accident a coupleofmonthsaftershegraduated from high school with honors. She had planned to go to collegeand become a nurse. Right after graduation she went on a senior trip to Mexico. Two days later she called me wanting to come home. She said everyone was drinking doing drugs, having sex with strangers and she didn't like it. I bought her a plane ticket and she came home the next day. She died two months later. Eight months went by and I was having a particularly hard time one night. I prayed for a sign from God thatshe wasin heaven and doing well. The next day, the day before Good Friday, I went to my mailbox. Inside was a postcard DEARABBY: I have been in a relationfrom my daughter. She had mailed it from theday beforeshereturned.Itwasin ship with "Bob" for 12years. He doesn't work M exico and doesn't take care of our children because mint condition and had been lost in the mail he says it's "not his responsibility."I have for 10 months. The cardread:"Itisbeautifulhere.I'm supported him all this time, yet nothing is OK Imissyou and loveyou, Mommy. Love, good enough. He has cheated on me several times. DurBrandi."I was so happy and relieved! I was ing his third affair, he had two kids with the able to move on with my life after that. I other woman. He doesn't understand why signed up for college a few weeks later and I don't trust him and why Iinsist on seeing earned my degree four years later. Thank you, Ab by,forletting me share my his cellphone. The last time I was able to get ahold ofit, he broke down the bathroom door "miracle" with you. trying to getit back. — SHARONINLOUISIANA He threatens to move out, and fihe does, DEAR SHARON: My goodness, you don't have to thank me. Your letter moved me to that will be "the lastI hear from him."I the point of tears. Although I have printed would berelievedifhe went.Ihave so much anger toward him. I love him, but at this many letters about pennies from heaven, point love doesn't have anything to do withit. this is the first time I have heard about a I have asked him several times to leave, postcard. I'm glad itgave you the comfort and validation that you needed. but hejust keeps saying he'll be leaving EVENT: Waynemay reactdefensively when you say you're"sick" ofhis stories because he feels you are criticizing him. Perhaps if you told him that hearing him dwell on past relationships is hurtful, he might be willing to enlarge his repertoire. Ifthatdoesn'thelp,it'spossibleyour husband feels his best years are behind him. Past conquests and adventures can be more fun to dwell on than the new lawnmower, the plumbing that needs replacement, which fiiends are sick and the most recent one who died. Things might improve if you work together to create activities that will spice up your lives and give him some new material. Try it. It might benefit you both.

Hina Shamsi, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. Shamsi is among the attorneys who represent 13 plaintiffs who sued the federal government over the current policy, saying it violates their constitutional right to due process. Earlier this summer, a federal judge in Portland agreed with them. The Portland case is one of five around the country challenging some aspectofthe terror watch lists. So far, the government is offering few details about upcoming changes. In a court filing earlier this month, it said it will "endeavor to increase transparency for certain individuals denied boarding who believe they are on the No Fly List." One of the plaintiffs in

Abe Mashal, 31, poses for a photo at his home in St. Charles, III. Mashal says being banned from flying to or within the U.S. nearly cost him his dog-training business, for which he must travel to meet clients. He says he learned he was on the list in 2010, when he was surrounded by police at a Chicago airport.

A counter representative told him he was on the no-fly list and would not be allowed to board. Mashal was surrounded by about 30 law enforcement officials, he sald. Mashal appealed the same day but six months later the governmentresponded,"no changes or corrections are warranted at this time." He appealed the decision in May 2011. Nine months later, the government said its ruling was final. The appeals process, known as redress, was started in 2007.
