Oregon, 7A GRANTS PASSOne of Oregon's wolf packs is one livestock attack away from becoming the first to be considered for a kill order under the state's unique rules.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Wednesday that the Umatilla Pack, which roams mostly private land about 30 miles west of Pendleton, has been confirmed responsible for killing a sheep last week.

Ginger Savage, director of the Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, is doused with ice water Wednesday evening. She agreed to endure the frigid experience after the center raised enough money to schedule two visits from the Missoula Children'sTheater next summer.

Staff members at Albertson's grocery in Baker City recently accepted a challenge and submitted to a mass soaking, and an assortment of challenges and volunteerism led each of Kcia Fletcher's three sons — Ethan, 7, Dawson, 5, and Oliver, 2 — to bathe themselves in frigid water.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 29, 1964 Baker, for the fourth year, is the new home of an excited and amazing foreign exchange student, Miss Sonia Berez Leon, from Lima, Peru, who arrived in Baker two days ago for a year's study at Baker High School.

For a student who has never been in America, and has had one year of the English language for background, she is amazing. She understands the English language well and is doing an excellent Iob of speaking it for the short time she has been inAmerica.

Miss Leon, a young lady of 16, speaks with much enthusiasm about spending her senior year in high school here in the friendly town of Baker.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 29, 1989 A new power line from Sumpter to Granite along with generators to those now served by the old line is being proposed by Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative.

According to a news release, this is the "best solution to a long-standing safety and service problem in that area."

The plan to build the line mostly along the highway right of way between those communities and to deenergize most of the existing line awaits a Forest Service right-of-way permit for construction to begin.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 30, 2004 With a stroke of his pen lastThursday, President Bush authorized the remainder of the $1.4 million needed for a Baker Valley pipeline project that will provide off-stream stock water for up to 6,000 head of cattle, allow for improved fish passage, and restore more than 65,000 plants along 10 miles of the Powder River.

The president's executive order on cooperative conservation will pump about $7 million into 97 projects in 39 states, said John W. Keys III, commissioner for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. He added that the Interior Department, under which his bureau operates, has awarded more than $1.3 billion in cooperative conservation grants over the past three years.

Keys himself was on hand at the home of Rob and Lori Thomas Friday for a speech dedicating the pipeline, fish passage and fencing project.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 6, 2013 An official fromAsh Grove Cement Co. said he is"cautiously optimistic" that the company's Durkee plant can meet federal limits on airborne mercury emissions slated to take effect in two years.

"I'm glad we have till 2015. It appears we will (meet the EPA's regulations)," said Curtis Lesslie, corporate vice president of environmental affairs for Ash Grove, which is based in Overland Park, Kan.

tended grade school under the supervision ofher father, both her teacher at times, and the principal of the school.

Jeanette's skills as a musician emerged early in her life, and continued under the instruction of Margaret Coates while in high school. As a member of the marching band, she played the clarinet. In the dance band, she entertained at the piano, on which she excelled throughout her life. Following high school, Jeanette attended the University of Oregon, studying music and education. She first taught in Sutherlin, Oregon.

While continuing her education at summer school in Missoula, Montana, Jeanette met her husband, Lyman Jampolsky of Edmonton, Alberta. The couple were married in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, a year later, in 1955.

The newlyweds made their home in Cardston, Alberta, where Lyman was the school superintendent, and Jeanette became a homemaker and piano teacher. The next 14 years were spent in Canada, first in Alberta where her two children were born, and later in British Columbia and Ontario.

The family enjoyed travels to Baker most summers, and in 1969, Jeanette returned to her hometown where she continued to teach piano lessons and worked at Neuberger and Heilner until the store closed. She played the organ and directed the choir at the United Methodist Church, retiring in 2006 after 36 years.

With her limited eyesight, Jeanette still enjoyed reading literature, doing intricate needlework and sewing for her granddaughters. Her vast knowledge on most subjects was evident whenever playing Scrabble with her or watching Jeopardy. In her later years, she enjoyed classical music and old movies by satellite TV. Jeanette is survived by her son and daughter, Dave Jampolsky and Lisa Weichbrodt of Baker City; siblings, Sammye Linzel and Dee Becker of Baker City, and Curtis Holloway of Portland; six grandchildren: Joel, Holly and Carrie Weichbrodt, Jenny Bamford, Emily and Ellen Jampolsky; and two great-grandsons, Elijah i11l and

EDITORIAL

e voers eci eon O S O S We agree with Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner that the City Council should start discussing the regulation of marijuana stores, even though the city's current ban on medical marijuana outlets continues until May 1, 2015.

But we also believe that in the end this matter has such significant potential ramifications that it should be decided by the city's voters, not just its seven elected councilors.

Recent history in Oregon suggests that the public and the politicians don't always agree on marijuana issues.

In 2010 the state's voters rejected a ballot measure that would have legalized medical marijuana dispensaries.

But three years later the Oregon Legislature approved a bill, which Gov. John Kitzhaber signed, that allows medical pot shops.

That law prompted dozens of cities, including Baker City, to impose one-year moratoriums on such

shops.

By November there might be even more at stake than stores that sell marijuana to only those residents who have a medical marijuana card — about

65,000people,including247in BakerCounty.

That's because voters will decide in the Nov. 4 election whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use, not just medicinal purposes, for people 21 and older.

If voters approve the measure, then cities likely will have to deal with the possibility of stores that sell marijuana to any adult, not just those with a medical marijuana card.

Although Lohner has suggested the City Council consider not only an outright ban on marijuana stores, but also possibly a business license ordinance that would accomplish that purpose, we're leery of the latter approach.

In particular we don't think the city, which does not require a general business license now, should create one, especially if such a license came with a fee. We don't need to discourage businesses by increasing their operating costs.

Your views Lamenting the loss of good journalists I certainly enjoyed reading Steve Paul's column in the Aug. 22 issue of the Herald. One of my pet peeves has been the loss of good journalists. They are replaced by folks who don't check facts or just make them up. I grew up with Huntley, Brinkley and Deep Throatwho brought down a president.

Journalism is an honorable profession and some of us rely on journalists for our news, whether in a newspaper or on a screen. If we don't get it, it is like living in a media-controlled state. We have to trust someone so we can make informed choices. Making up the story isn't OK. Iva Mace Baker City

Speak out about the forest plan revision "One of the big misconceptions is that this is a travel management plan and w e are closing roads and trails.A forest plan does not close roads and trails. It is as simpleas that,"Kramer said We are smarter than this and it's time we stand up to these claims.

Simplystated,ifa road isnotdesignatedas a route,the road isclosed.

That language "designated routes" is not found in the current forest plans, and with its addition to the Forest Plan Revision, it allows for the closing of roads that currently is not a reality, nor is allowing the public cross country travel imotorizedl acceptable under the Forest Plan Revision.

The Forest Plan Revision authorizes road closures through the designation of routes, and the USFS is attempting to sell you a bill of goods that it doesn't, we all need to stand up and clearly speak out that this is unacceptable.

Pleaseconsider the below contacts and get active. While they may choose to not answer you, they clearly hear us.

Please start contacting the below list and speaking out for yourselves, you can do this, we have complete faith in you.

You have to stay persistent in your contacts and not give up.

o nt e r e o n Ihave very nearly exhausted my internal thesaurus in describing the breezes that buffet the Oregon Coast, delving on occasion into that subsection of words which aren't fit for publication in a newspaper.

Being by nature lazy, I tend to grasp for the low-hanging profanity when I'm annoyed.

Although I believe even the rare saint among us would have his equanimity sorely tested if, say, he were scanning the retreating tide for agates while an onshore gale was trying to sandblast through his contactlensesto getathiscorneas.

But never had I believed that the appropriateadjective forthese almost constant winds was "refreshing."

Until now.

It was a queer feeling to be hiking through a rain forest of mossladen Sitka spruce and Douglas-fir, the Pacific breakers visible iand audible) below, and there to pine, as adesert travelermight,foreven a gentle zephyr to fan my sweaty face.

Stranger still that my walk on Cascade Head, just north of Lincoln City, happened only a few days after I had hiked in arid Eastern Oregon and there dealt with conditions more familiar to the beachcomber than to the backpacker.

JAYSON JACOBY The five of us — my wife, Lisa, her dad, Howard Britton and her brother, Dave Britton, and Dave's son, Tyler, who's 11 — hiked from Wallowa Lake to Ice Lake on Aug. 15.

During the final series of switchbacks that deliver hikers to this magnificent alpine lake, we were at times enveloped in a fog that briefly thickened into a light rain. But for the absence of crashing waves, the cawing of gulls and the heavy scent of salt on the air we might well have been hiking on a coastal spit rather than climbing a mountain slope 250 miles from the sea.

The trail, which typically has been churned by mid-August to a talc-likedustby the passage of hundreds ofboots and the hooves of pack animals, was instead perfectly damp — neitherdusty normuddy.

We relished the cool air, too.

After a torrid summer it was pleasant, hiking with the temperatureabout 60.Ieven donned my light fleece jacket when tendrils of fog began to waft up the canyon of Adam Creek, the outflow stream from Ice Lake.

This reprieve from the usually relentless heat of an Eastern Oregon August is among the attractions of hiking along the coast.

The proximity to the chilly North Pacific, where the water rarely warms beyond the mid 50s, and the prevailing onshore wind create a nearly infallible air-conditioning effect.

I grew up near Salem, about an hour's drive from the beach, and I remember escaping Willamette Valley heat waves by driving to Lincoln City.

The experience seemed to me magical then, and if anything it's more so now what with the ubiquity of external thermometers on cars.

Itborders on ecstasy tocross a Coast Range pass and watch the numbers on the dashboard spin backwards from 95 degrees to 65, sometimes within the span of a dozen miles.

And so I at first puzzled when, 15 minutes after Lisa and I, this time accompanied by our two kids, had started hiking toward Cascade Head, I noticed that my T-shirt was stuck like a barnacle ionly clammierl to my back.

This had something to do with my passenger — 35 pounds of three-year-old Max is a considerableburden to beareven on flat

o a st : us tra i ground.

Still and all, I noticed that even when we stopped to rest I didn't imm ediately feelcooler,asIexpected I would.

The car thermometer did show 70 degrees when we parked, but I put that off to our being a couple miles inland, where the moderating influence of the world's largest ocean isn't quite so blatant.

It's common for the temperature on the beach to be 10 or even 20 degreescooler than justa m ile orso inland.

Yet even after we reached the first view of the beach the relief I anticipated was absent.

I was in fact hotter than ever, with sweat soaking my hair as well as my Max-embraced back.

The Nature Conservancy's trail to Cascade Head stays among the deep woods for most of the first mile but as it climbs onto the south slopeofthe headland itselfthe path leavesthe treesforgrassy meadows.

This, I figured, is where the bracing ocean breeze would assertitself.

What I got instead was full sun and abarely perceptiblebreath of wmd.

Also, dust.

The trail ,once clearoftheforest, was coated with a couple inches of

dark brown dust that puffed with eachsteplikethe dregsofa box of Cocoa Krispies cereal.

It was as though the boot-invading, leg-staining, nostril-clogging powder that distinguishes trails in the Eagle Cap had migrated clear across Oregon. ilt wouldn't be the first such trip, geologically speaking. Some coastal rocks — Cascade Head not among them — arebasaltthaterupted from vents in the Wallowa Mountains 10 to 15 million years ago.l Now I expect to come home from a beach trip with sand having infil trated evercrevice— ofbody, car, footwear.

But a dusty coastal trail was, until last week, outside my ken.

This, of course, is the sort of trick Oregon excels at conjuring.

Our state's diversity, in climate and landscapes, in flora and fauna, is rivaled by few states and, in my estimation, is surpassed by none.

That's reason enough, certainly, for me to keep exploring this place and to remain forever in awe of its ability to whip up an ocean fog in the landlocked mountains, to slatherdesertduston a trailthat's almostout to sea.

BAKER CITY HERALD — 5A

the way to trigger the kicker. ''We're expecting the year to be a pretty good year.

It's just whether or not it turns out to be better than expected," said Josh Lehner, a senior economist with the OIFtce of Economic Analysis.

Economists for the third time this year adjusted their revenueforecasttoaccount for higher revenues. Lehner saidsome ofthatcame from job gains and from tax increases by the Legislature in the past year.

Wednesday's forecast includeda deeper look at Central Oregon, which is still recovering from the second-worst housing bust in the state's history. Econom ists said thereisreason for parts of Central Oregon to be excited.

Bend in 2013 saw 1,317 applications for building permits. That number was up from 801 in 2012 and 459 in 2011, according to census data. Data released Tuesday shows the area has seen 767

WesCom News ServIce

If the Oregon economy grows through 2015 like it did through July, residents m ightseea pieceofm ore than $290 million in tax rebates.

Stateeconomists said during a quarterly economic update on Wednesday that the Oregon economy has rebounded ata rate thatfell just 0.2 percent — or $27 million — shy of the threshold that would give taxpayers their first tax rebate since 2007.

Known as the kicker, the rebate would give back money whenincome tax collect ions grow at a rate that's more than 2 percent above what economists predict. Despite being so close, that's going to be a difficult threshold to meet. Econom ists based their predictions on an expected "aggressive" growth through 2015, so it would take a very good year to push revenue the rest of

building permits through July 2014.

"It's turned the corner, it's on the upswing and it's growing really, really quickly today," Lehner said.

That might not come as a surpriseto a booming population that is looking for places to live amid a rental vacancyratethat' sclose to 1 percent.

Lehner said the low housing availability means Bend and Deschutes County probably will lead the region's recovery with more housing project s."That'sgood news for economic activity," Lehner said.

Central Oregon, which lost jobs at nearly double the state average during the recession, has been adding jobs atnearly tw ice the rate since 2011.

But that growth has been led by Deschutes County and Bend. Crook County, meanwhilehas added fewer than 20percent ofthejobsit lostto the recession.

Community Connection of Baker County had its annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner Thursday evening to honor the many people who provide volunteer services in various programs.

The dinner was at the Powder River Correctional Facility, and the meal was prepared and served by the inmates and PRCF stafF. About 115 volunteers attended.

They werewelcomed by PRCF Superintendent Brad Cain and Mary Jo Carpenter, manager of Community Connection of Baker County lCCBCl. Carpenter thanked the PRCF and its stafF for their strong support and partnership in helping with this event, and throughout the year as inmates work at the Community Connection facility.

The Marian Kolb Volunteer of the Year award was given to Diana Doss, who has been volunteering at CCBC for about eight years helping out at the Dining Center.

This is the 19th year the award has been given.

Duringthedinner,Carpenter provided a summary of the value of volunteer hours for the organization. About 300 volunteersparticipate,contributing more than 9,000 hours, equal to more than four full-time stafF positions.

The value of this volunteer service is nearly $90,000 for the agency, which is used, in part, to match the federalgrant funds the agency receives to operate its programs.

Politicians took the release of theeconomic forecast to hint at proposed changes in tax policy next session.

Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day, and House Republican Leader Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, issued a joint statement to call for renewed focus on rural parts of the statethat haven'trecovered as quicldy.

Grant County, which includes John Day, and seven other rural counties have regained fewer than 10 percentofthejobsthey lost to therecession,the report showed.

"As we look toward the 2015 session, the Legislature needs to ensure that all Oregonians benefit from any proposedeconomic policies and legislation," the two wrote. "This means providing tax relief for Oregon families and increasing opportunities foreconomic development in all regions of the state."

A documentary of a man's campaign to designate wilderness areas in the U.S. will be shown one night only, Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Eltrym Theater in Baker City.

Admission is &ee.

"Monumental: David Brower's Fight For Wild America,"isbeing shown as partofa celebration ofthe 50th anniversary of the 1964 Wilderness Act. That act, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, created several wilderness areas in Oregon, including the Eagle Cap of Baker, Union and Wallowa counties.

all things considered," Savage said.

Continued from Page1A The ice bucket challenge has becomea reliable fundraising tool, and the ALS Association says it raised $93 million between July 29 and Aug. 27-

compared with just $2.9 million for the same period last year.

The challenge has gotten so popularthat it'sseeing use beyond donations to ALS research.

Just ask Ginger Savage,executivedirectorof the Crossroads Carnegie Art Center in Baker City.

Savage employed the challenge to fund two visits next year by the Missoula

Children's Theater iMCTl. The theater, which visits communities and enlists local children to act in a play, has been coming to Baker City for six years.

A glut of interest this year meant that not everyone who wanted to participate was able to.

"I probably had to turn 15 kids away," this year, Savage said."It hurt my heart."

That prompted a plan to bring the MCT to Baker twice in 2015. However, it coststhecenter $2,900 for a visit by the MCT, "which is ascreaming good deal,

SUMPTER Continued ~om Page1A According to publicity about the program on'The Dead Files" website, Toni Thompson of Sumpter is interviewed as a"local historian" and Ken Anderson tells about the area's mining history during a segment of the program. Amy VanGaasbeck, gallerydirector atthe Dancing Elephant Gallery, will be featuredas the sketch artist.

DiSchiavi is one of the stars of the show along with Amy Allan, described on the website as "a physical medium."

"They are a paranormal team like no other, combining their unique, eclectic and often-conflicting skills to solve unexplained paranormal phenomena inhaunted locationsacrossAmerica," the websitestates.

Barbara Phillips, 67, said she was a little nervous aboutagreeing to bepartof the program, but she and Jay, 68, both appreciate the business that has come their way through their involvement in the "Ghost Mine" project.

Barbara said she emphasized that they didn't want the program toscare off customers.

'This is our home, our business — we love it here and

The $5,800 needed for two visits seemed like a tallorder,and thatsaw Savage turn to buckets of ice water to help her cause, appealing to the young castofthisyear'splay for help spreading the word.

The goal was to raise the money primarily through audience growth at this year's play, but donations started to roll in as well.

"I promised ithe kids) that if we did it, they'd get to dump water on me," Savage said."I totally stole ALS' gig on that one."

Soon enough, the fundraising effort was at a point where the center could say it succeeded.

Savage held up her end of thebargain,getting doused along with her intern, Heather Mazzagotte, who had only just been challenged to an ALS donation on Facebook shortly before Savage's scheduled soaking.

Savage, whose family will be writing its own check to the ALS Association, said that her job calls for undertakings like this from time to time.

"That kind of thing is part of what you do with

this gig." we are not airaid," she told the promoters."Don't expect me to be crying and acting like something's wrong."

The show's producers suggested approaching it perhaps fiom the angle of seekingways to protecttheir family and their customers fi'om any possible evil forces.

The bed and breakfast originally was built as a hospital in 1900. It was sold to the Masonic Lodge in 1918 and was used for that purpose until 1973, Phillips said.

One bit of history tells that"Miss Betsy" used the building as a brothel between the time of the devastating Sumpter fire in August 1917 and before the lodge took up residence on the property.

Rather than thinking of tragedies that might have taken place when the building was a hospital, the couple say they prefer to think of the good things that happened to people inside those walls.

Still, the Christian family sought a blessing &om their Episcopalpriestasrecommended duringtheprogram.

There is a chance the program will return to see how the recommendations worked out as has been done at other locations, Barbara said.

The Sumpter Bed and Breakfast is filled to the limit as the Labor Day Weekend approaches and the Phillipses hope "The Dead Files" will do more of what"Ghost Mine" did for business.

People still drive in off the &eeway while traveling through the area to take pictures of the building because it was featured on"Ghost Mine," Barbara says.

"pools" ofmosquitoes igroups of 10 to 50 insects), all of them trapped in Keating Valley, Hutchinson said.

Although West Nile virus is spread by mosquitoes, not all species of the biting insects are equally culpable.

Hutchinson said the virus usually targetsa singlespecies in Baker County: culex tarsalis.

All seven of this summer's infected mosquitoes were culex tarsalis. That was also the casewith all13infected mosquito pools trapped in Baker County in 2003, and with each of the county's 12 infected pools in 2009.

Culex tarsalis mosquitoes are relatively common in Keating Valley and are sometimes found in Baker Valley, as well, Hutchinson said.

But that type of mosquito rarely is found in the Vector Control District's traps in Baker City, he said.

The most common species of mosquitoes in the city are severalaedes varietiesalso known as floodwater mosquitoes — that move into town from flood-irrigated fields in Baker Valley, Hutchinson said.

Aedes mosquitoes can carry West Nile virus but in Oregon they have been a farlesscommon vectorof the disease compared with culexvarieties.No aedes mosquitoes trapped in Baker County have ever tested positiveforthe virus.

In 2013, for instance, none of the 88 mosquito pools that tested positive for West Nile virus across Oregon was an aedes variety.

Of the 88 pools, 80 were culex tarsalis, and seven were another culex type — pipiens. iThe lone remaining infected pool consisted of anopheles mosquitoes, which were trapped in Klamath

County.)

Since West Nile virus arrived in Oregon in 2004, just 14 out of 505 mosquito pools

After a rash of complaints about mosquitoes from residents in Baker City and in Haines in late July, the Vector Control District used its trucks to spray permethrin, which kills adult mosquitoes, in both towns.

Complaints dropped substantially after the spraying, but have increased slightly recently after another round of fl ood irrigation — the last of the year.

GRANTS PASS — One of Oregon's wolf packs is one livestock attack away fiom becoming the first to be considered for a kill order under the state's unique rules.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Wednesday that the Umatilla Pack, which roams mostly private land about 30 miles west of Pendleton, has been confirmed responsible for killing a sheep last week in a private pasture. Two other attacks occurred in June.

The state cannot kill a wolf unless three conditions are met: There's hard evidence

the pack isresponsibleforfourlivestock attacks over the past six months, the rancher has taken non-lethal steps to protect his livestock,and the department feelswolfattacks are likely to continue even with more non-lethal protections.

"Under these rules, the key consideration for lethal control or any other actions will be to take an action that minimizes the risk of further depredation," department spokeswoman Michelle Dennehy said in an email.

Rob Klavins of the conservation group Oregon Wild said they would prefer a sciencebasedconservationgoalfordelisting,rather than one set by political negotiation.

BRIEFING Little League board meeting Sept. 7

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

Baker's volleyballseason gotoffto a rocky start Thursday against a strong Fruitland squad on the Grizzlies' home court.

Bakerdropped the nonleague match 25-14, 25-8, 25-17.

'They're a good ballclub," said Baker coach Michele McCauley of Fruitland.

'That is probably as good a team

as we'll see all season. They probably should win their division in Idaho."

McCauley said that although the scoreswere one-sided,particularly in Game 2, Baker never gave up. aWe see what we need to do. I'm happy. We'll continue to get better," she said.

Michelle Freese led Baker with 15-of17 hitting and four kills.

Dani McCauley was 10-of-12 hitting

with two kills and six assists.

Makenna Bachman was 6-for-6 serving with six assists. Kate Averett was 9-of-10serving.Amy Wong had nine digs and Michelle Lehman two kills.

Baker lost the freshman match 25-22, 22-25, 15-11. Desi Davis led Baker with four kills.

No JV results were available.

GOLDENDALE, Wash.— Kyle Dennis of Halfway placed fifth in the saddle bronc competition Aug. 24 at a prorodeo at Goldendale.

ATLANTA — Bo Wallace wants to close his college career in style.

He'd rather forget the way his final season started out.

The Mississippi senior was picked off three times in the first half, and the No. 18 Rebels struggled to a 7-6 lead heading to the fourth quarter against Boise State. But Wallace tossed three ofhis four touchdown passes in the final period — on consecutive throws, no less — and Ole Miss pulled away for a sloppy 35-13 victory Thursday night.

"Just decent,"Wallace said, assessing his 387-yard performance."I have things to work on. Luckily, we were able to bounce back in the second half."

Rogers places first at two pro rodeos Garrett Rogers of Baker City placed first in team roping headercompetition atrodeos atDavenport and Waterville Wash., Aug. 23-24.

At Davenport, Rogers' time was 5.3 seconds.

Boise State quarterback Grant Hedrick (9) is hit by Mississippi defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche at the Georgia Dome inAtlanta onThursday

"I'm not going to sit here and made excuses for not going out there and winning the ballgame," Harsin said. ''We've got to find ways to get better."

Cody Core, who won a starting job during preseason practice, hauled in a pair of TDs for Ole Miss: a 30-yarder in the final minute of the first quarter, then a 76-yarder midway through the fourth aftergrabbing a shortpass on a slant route and breaking free down the middle of the

"It was awful hard to watch for 2 V2 quarters," coach Hugh Freeze said.

"Then we got in a decent rhythm the last part of the game."

Boise State (0-1l lost in the debut ofcoach Bryan Harsin, who took over after Chris Petersen bolted for Washington. The Broncos no longer

Also in the final period, Wallace went to Laquon Treadwell for a 14-yard TD and hooked up with Quincy Adeboyejo on a 31-yard scor-

ing play.

That was more than enough against Boise State, which was coming off its worst season since 1998 (8-5l and seems to have lost its BCS-busting swagger.

Grant Hedrick was picked off four times. The Broncos had first-and-goal at the Ole Miss 1 in the second quarter, ran threestraight playsthatlost a totalof2yards,and settled fora fi eld goal. aWe've got to punch it in,"

Harsin said.aWe were not good enough tonight to get that done."

Franldy, neither team lookedas ifitw asready for the season. Wallace's three interceptions before halftime were matched by Hedrick, and both quarterbacks had one picked off in the end zone to ruin good scoring chances.

Freeze was baffled by a coupleofW allace'sinterceptions, saying the senior threw toward receivers who weren't even supposed to be part of

the play.

"He wants to do so well and have a great year," Freeze said.

COLUMBIA, S.C.— Kenny Hill looked more than ready to replace Johnny Manziel on the field. He is still getting used to the attention that goes along with the job.

Hill broke Manziel's single-game passing record with 511 yards and No. 21 Texas A&M beat No. 9 South Carolina 52-28on Thursday night,ending the Gamecocks' 18-game home win streak.

Hill looked poised and confident in his frststart,leading theAggies(1-0,1-0 i Southeastern Conference) to the most total and passing yards against South Carolina. The sophomore completed 44 of 60 passes with three touchdowns.

The hardest part ofhis night came after the celebration on the field.

"I just wanted to get the first press conference over with," said Hill, who hadn't spoken with reporters before."I get nervous up here."

That's a far cry from Manziel, a lightning-rod personality quick to speak his mind and gesture to crowds and opponents. Johnny Football rode his flashy style all the way to the Heisman Trophy in his freshman year, and one of the Aggies' biggest worries was if they could find the same rhythm with a different leader.

Hill made it clear they could. ''We aren't a one-trick pony,"Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin said.

SEATTLE (APl — Mike Leach wants to change the culture around the football team at Washington State. The necessity to do so was evident Thursday night.

The Cougars lost a wild 41-38 contest to Rutgers, a game that seemed to be in Washington State's grasp until the Scarlet Knights recovered a fumbled punt return and put together the game-winning drive in the final minutes.

"For too long around this university, expectations to perform and all that's been too low," Leach said."Unless we as coaches, we as players change that ... it's not going to get changed from the outside. I mean everybody's going to have 20 pats on their back before they get back to their house. We got to change that. We've got to expect more of ourselvesand we've gotto getm ore outofourselves."

Clinging to a 38-34 lead with 7 minutes left, the Washington State defense stopped Rutgers on three consecutiveplays insideitsown 20 toforce a punt.River Cracraft fumbled the punt return at midfield and the Scarlet Knights fell on the loose ball.

Easternmen's cross country ranked 12th LA GRANDE — The Eastern Oregon University Men's Cross Country team starts the season out as the No. 12 in the NAIA Preseason Men's Cross Country Coaches' Preseason Poll, the national office announced Thursday.

The Mountaineers finished 11th at the NAIA National Championships in Lawrence, Kan. EOU looks to replace All-American Isaac Updike. Updike led the Mountaineers and finished 24th at the National Championships.

WELL, ALMOST

If You Go.....

Ice Lake is a place of exceeding beauty, and it's also pretty popular on summer weekends.

These two traits are not coincidental.

To get there, start at the Wallowa Lake Trailhead above the south end ofWallowa Lake. Remember to fill out a free wilderness permit, which is available at the trailhead sign board. Hike the West ForkWallowa River Trail for about 2.8 miles, then turn right at the well-marked junction.

The Ice Lake trail crosses the West Fork on a single-log bridge (railing on one side) then climbs via more than 40 switchbacks for 5.1 miles to the lake. The scenery improves along the way and includes two waterfalls along Adam Creek, the stream that flows from Ice Lake, as well as the distinctly dark brown rock that makes up most of the Huiwal Divide.

Grouse season '. starts Sept. 1

Both ruffed and blue grouse seasons will open Sept. 1. Ruffed grouse tend to inhabit lower riparian areas while blues favor open ridge tops. At mid-day, blue grouse will often group near springs. The daily bag limit for grouse is 3 of each. Hunters should be reminded that spruce grouse, living in some areas of the Eagle CapWilderness, are rare and protected. =

Fires are prohibited within 1/4-mile of Ice Lake, and camping is prohibited within 100 feet of the water.

The best campsites are on the peninsula on the east shore, and in a thicket of subalpine fir trees beyond the west shore.

The climbers' trail to Matterhorn starts at the northwest corner of the lake, where a stream flows into the lake.

A13-mile stretch of this popular road linking Highway 86 in Baker County and Joseph will remain open through Qct. 14. Starting Qct. 15 the contractor plans to close the section which runs from Highway 86 north for 13 miles. A gravel detour route, by Forest Road 66 from Halfway to Fish Lake, will be open until the first heavy snowfall.

As a consumer, this often meant making things work with the cheapest and most straightforward solutions I could find.

As someone who absolutely loves to"bootstrap" my way through things 4ave you seen the store?), it can be interesting to be on the other end of the conversation with a customer looking at a new purchase.

This stuff can add up fast!

An example: water filters.

Panorama looking east from near the top of the Matterhorn. Ice Lake is about1,700 feet below.

MATTERHORN Continued from Page1C Climbing the Matterhorn's east slope above Ice Lake — an ascent of 2,000 verticalfeetover about tw o miles — is more properly called a scramble than a technical climb.

There's a trail — albeit a very steep and narrow trail, marked in placesby rock cairns— most of the way to the top. Neither ropes norcrampons nor otherspecialized climbing equipment is necessary so long as there's no snow or ice.

Every summer dozens of people complete the trek and revel in a panorama that takes in almost the whole of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon's largestat365,000 acres.

But compared with several other prominent Wallowa peaks — Eagle Cap, for instance, which has a wide and well-graded trail all the way to its 9,595-foot summit — the Matterhorn poses challenges of the mental as well as the physical variety.

Climbers call it"exposure."

What they mean, basically, is how far you'd likely fall if you took a tumble — or at least how far you think you'd fall, which is the nub of the matter after all.

Although the Matterhorn hardly rivals, say, the north face of the Eiger in verticality, to get up the final 300 feet or so you have to ascend barrenlimestone slopes thatare strewn with marble-sized rubble capableofturning a bootinto a temporaryrollerskate.

These slopes are moderate enough that if you slipped you could probably arrest your slide quickly.

But"probably" didn't sound good enough for our party when we reached that point the morning of Aug. 16.

I was hiking with my wife, Lisa, her brother, Dave Britton, and Dave's 11-year-old son, Tyler.

At the spot where the trail seemed to peteroutwe stopped to restand to ponder our options.

W e were atabout 9,600feet, according to my pocket altimeter, little more than 200 feet from the summit.

Butit was the next 30 feet, across a scatt ering oflimestone boulders, that worried us.

I have the shortest mountain climbing resume conceivable.

Most of the central and eastern sections of the Eagle CapWilderness is visible from the eastern slopes of the Matterhorn. The view includes the wilderness area's namesake peak, several miles to the south.

I climbed Three Fingered Jack, the heavily eroded and exceedingly craggy remnant of a volcano in the central Cascades near Santiam Pass. Jack is rated as an easy, but technical, ascent, for which ropes are strongly recommended.

I finished that climb for two reasons: First, I went along with a science teacher from my high school. He was an experienced climber who had been on Three Fingered Jack many times.

Second, I was 17 and had just graduated from high school.

The latter, of course, was the key factor.

I don't so much fear heights as have areasonablerespectforthem, and my tolerance for exposure has declined steadily since that July afternoon when I sat on Three Fingered Jack's precariously tiny summit.

The longer our Matterhorn rest stop went on, the more sketchy the restofthe route seemed tous.

We decided to turn back.

Going on in such circumstances

shop,that serviceishelping build that investment strategy.

We prideourselves on carrying gear that's accessible to an average user's budget along side the more technical, higher pricepoint items that you might want to "ante up" on.

The important thing to note here is that no good

with anything less than complete confidence is unwise, it seems to me.

M oreover, in almost every case in the mountains, climbing up is easier, and safer, than going down.

We figured that disconcerting section oflimestone would look even more dangerous from the opposite direction. Caution is a valuable commodity, to be sure, but too much caution can cause legs to quiver and feet to step tentatively when a confident stride is called for.

We chose a diferent route for the first part of the descent to Ice Lake.

This gave us a chance to watch mountain goats gambol across snowfields.

And we filled our water bottles from a spring just a few feet from where the fiigid water seeped out of the rock, like nature's own faucet.

The minor disappointment I felt when we started our retreat — a matter of stubbornness rather than bravado — had dissipated by the time I returned to the lake. It's hard to feel anything but exalted while standing on the shore of Ice Lake.

I'm loathe to use superlatives in

The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest has re-opened Forest Road 4240 to Hat Point overlook and Warnock Corral trailhead, as well as Hurricane Creek Trail 1807 in the Eagle Cap Wilderness.

Boththeroad and thetrailhad been closed forseveral weeks due to wildfires.

Some restrictions remain in effect, however.

From Warnock Corral trailhead, the Western Rim National Recreation Trail, No. 1774, is still closed to motor vehicles due to firefighter trafftc.

In addition, a temporary flight restriction is in place over the Lord Flat airstrip. That restriction might be lifted late this wee; pilots should check wwwfaa.gov for updates.

Forestoffi cialshave alsoinstituted an area closure eastof Forest Road 4240-315, the Lord Flat Road. Trails along the perimeterofthe area closure willbe open,butthoseinside will be closed — eastern portion of Trail 1770a between junction of Trail 1771 and 1770; and the western portion of Trail 1750 from the junction of 1771 and Road 4240-315.

So rather than boast that Ice Lake is the most beautiful spot in

The two peaks, connected by a narrow ridge and about three-quarters of a mile apart, have vied for the title of tallest in the Wallowas for decades.

Initially, though, neither mountain was in the running.

In the pioneer days, residents believed Eagle Cap, the wilderness area's namesake peak that stands near its center, was tallest.

Eagle Cap, alas, doesn't even rank in the top 5, at 9,595 feet.

Having dispelled that notion, cartographers for some years thought both Matterhorn and Sacajawea exceeded 10,000 feet, and that Matterhorn was slightly taller.

The latest decision in this long-running bout gives the edge to Sacajawea, at 9,838 feet to Matterhorn's 9,826.

J's Kicker Frog

A frog fit for fooling e bass

By Gary Lewis ForWesCom News Service

Everseea frog on theJohn Day River? Betyou haven't.

But the bass know what they are. And every time one splashes down, there's a smallie licking his lips. J's Kicker Frog employs a lifelike profile with rubber legs to simulate life and movement.

Splash it down close to the bank and let the ripples dissipate. Now chug the bug and let it sit again. If no grab, chug it again. Give it three chugs then cast to a different spot. The bass come at this with their mouths wide open.

Tie J's Kicker Frog on a No. 2-6 TMC 8089NP hook. For the thread, use white 3/0. An optional weedguard can be fashioned from 40-pound mono. Tie in the back legs with medium yellow rubber legs strung through olive crosslink foam.

For the body, use Rainy's Foam Frog. Use medium yellow rubber for the front legs. On the body and legs, paint yellow and black highlights with enamel paint. Use a light green paint on the bottom. Finish with Hologram Dome eyes.

ou may not have heard of parkour, but you've certainly seen it. Some of its more extreme moves, such as rooftop jumping from building to building, are often featured in action films.

But for everyday practitioners of parkour, it's about scaling more down-to-earth terrain, like picnic tables or fences — even just walking along rocks and curbs.

Parkour — also known as "the art of movement" — is basically the act of walking along without stepping aside for anything. That includes rocks, walls, even skyscrapers. 0$cial practitioners go over what is in front of them, never around. Then came the modern version.

Modern parkour began with the military in Vietnam as a way to escape from something or someone chasing a soldier. The basic moves were just running, jumping and rolling to absorbthe stresses ofa landing. Since then, it's caught on with civilians throughout the world, not as a method of escape but as a way to work the body.

You can add parkour-type movements to an ordinary walk to become a much more functional athlete.

These simple moves will improve your balance, timing and coordination.

You'll be less likely to fall if you get offbalance, and more able to make the extreme moves that are sometimes required in almost every sport. You'll be able to jump higher and react quicker — all without

GETTING

'p= ~j FIT M Q WINASTURGEON ever lifting a weight or going to the gym.

A walk that includes parkour-type movements requires looking around fornaturalobstaclesthat you can use as you walk along, such as picnic tables and benches, fences, low walls and curbs. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you take on the obstacles without breaking pace. For example, if you see a picnic table with benches ahead, you just jump up onto the bench or table without a pause in your walking movement, neither speeding up or slowing down, then jump down without a"stutter step," continuing your walk. You don't stop to gauge the obstacle.

A parkour walk can be as extreme as you wish.

You may choose an obstacle that's relatively easy, such as walking on rocks in a stream bed, or in a more urban area, use something more difficult, such as a chain-link fence ithat you don't need permission to climb). Step close enough, reach out to grab the fence and begin climbing, maintaining the rhythm of your walk, swing one leg then the other over the top of the fence, climb down and continue walking.

One of the best ways to plan a parkour walk is to make a repeatable course, just as you design a regular workout with sets and reps.

IG: Shoddy careby VAdidn't cause Phoenix deaths The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Government investigators found no proof that delaysin care caused veterans to die at a Phoenix VA hospital, but they found w idespread problems that theVeterans Affairs Department is promising to fix.

Investigatorsuncovered large-scale improprieties in the way VA hospitals and clinics across the nation have been scheduling veterans for appointments, accordingto a reportreleased Tuesday by the VA's 0$ce of Inspector General.

The report said workers falsified waitlists while their supervisors looked the other way or even directed it,

But, the report said %hile the case reviews in this report document poor quality of care, we are unable to conclusively assert that the absence of timely quality care caused the deaths of these veterans."

Top VA officials said the report's findings were troubling.

"I'm glad that veterans didn't die becauseofdelaysin care,or atleastthey weren't able to conclude that they did," Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said in an interview."But the fundamental issue is, veterans are waiting too long, and that's the problem we've got to face."

"Inappropriate scheduling practices are a nationwide systemic problem," said the report by Richard Gri5n, the VA's acting inspector general."These practices became systemic because ithe Veterans Health Administration) did not hold senior headquarters and facility leadership responsible and accountable."

The report could deflate an explosive allegation that helped launch the scandal in the spring: that as many as 40 veteransdied while awaiting care at the Phoenix VA hospital. Investigators identified 40 patients who died while

TESTING Continued from Page10C ''We've gotten to the point where we've realized we can't do much better (at preventing cancer) with our current screening," he said.

"But maybe we could do better by just eliminating harm, and so we started spacing out how we do this."

Harm arises when a woman has a false positivepap testresultand is referred for colposcopy, a more extensive test to look for cancer or precancerous lesions. Guideline-setting groups use the number of colposcopies asa m easure of harm, because the procedure is anecessary prerequisite formore invasive treatments. They start women down the road toward biopsies and treatments thatcarry arisk ofbleeding and infection in the short term, and an increased risk of pregnancy complications, such as preterm delivery or infertility, later on.

Although the risk of harm is small, and certainly outweighed for women who actually have cancer, the high rate of false positives in pap tests means many women undergoing colposcopy are subjected to unneeded treatments and their resulting risks. One review foundthatwomen who undergotreatment for cervical lesionshave a 70percent to 160 percent increased risk for preterm delivery, as well as higher risk for low birth weight, premature rupture of membranes and C-sections.

In the 2012 guidelines, the groups calculated that screening women every threeyearsinstead ofevery year would result in two to five additional cancer diagnoses for every 1,000 women, although with the high survival rate, only two additi onal deaths per 100,000 women. On the other hand, annual screening would result in nearly three times as many colposcopies.

Because cervical cancer is relatively slow to develop, screening every year is unlikely to catch many more lesions or cancers than screening every three to five years.

Meanwhile, the discovery thatcervicalcanceriscaused by the human papillomavirus, or HPV, has led to more accuratescreening teststhat detect thevirusdirectly.That in turn allows doctors to better stratify women as highorlow-ris k forcervicalcancer, and tailor their screening regimen going forward.

Professional societiesnow back simultaneous pap and HPV tests every five years from age30 to 65,unlesspatients test positive at some point or fall into certain high-risk groups. A less-effectivealternative,although still acceptable under the guidelines, is pap tests alone every three years. The guidelines call for screening women 21 to 30 with pap testing every three years, because they are likely to have HPV infections that will clear on their own.

Poor compliance Physicians have been slow to adopt the new guidelines. In 2012, researchers from the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University mined electronichealth records atone Midwestern clinic to see how well doctors were following the screening guidelines.

They found that out of 1,705 women who met the criteria for extended screening, 66 percent had a second pap test done within the following two years, and 25 percent had tests done both years.

Thoseadditional 1,551 pap tests resulted in 21 women undergoing colposcopy, with 20 women getting negative results. The additional tests identified one woman with adenocarci-

Patients who have become accustomed to yearly tests, however, can see a longer screening interval as less protection. ''When we interview women, they think that the provider who is telling them to extend the screening interval is doing it to save money and it's not really in their best benefit," said Dr. Mona Saraiya, a CDC epidemiologist."(They believe) it's more about the government cutting back."

Providers who take the time to explain why an extended screening time is safer, however, have found women are generally receptive. Kaiser found that 92 percent of women were fine with the longer intervals. ''When these extended intervals came out, we heard from women in droves who were like, 'Oh my gosh, what do youmean Idon'tneed to get my annual pap smear?"' said Fred Wyand, director of communications for the National Cervical Cancer Coalition.'There's a big piecewith both providers and patients to make sure they understand not only what the new guidelines are, but the rationale behind it."

Itrepresents a major pivot for women's health advocates. ''We finally feel we've got the message across and now we're changing therecommendation," said Dr. Wendy Brewster, an assoc iateprofessoratthe Universityof North Carolina School of Medicine and spokeswoman for the Societyof Gynecological Oncology.

As confusing as the changes are for both doctors and patients, the bottom line, she said, is that HPV testing will allow doctors to find more lesionsbefore they progress to cancer and help women avoid unnecessary tests by betterstratifying theirrisk of cervical cancer.

Broader acceptance of HPV testing and its longer screening intervals may require a concerted education effort for doctors and their patients, so that women aren'tleftto feelthey are less safe with less screening.

"It's the difference between your care being rationed and your care being tailored based on new information," Brewster said. ''We can hone in because this wonderful test has identified you as somebody who is atincreased risk.W e're tailoring your care. It's personalized medicine. It's what everybody wants."

Women's health advocates also emphasize that any sort of testingis better than no testing at all. Of the more than 12,000 women who arediagnosed with cervical cancer in the US. each year, 54 percent have never been screened, and 12 percent had apositivetestresultbutnever followed up for further testing.

Mss than a third of cancers were missed by screening.

In the long run, the landscape may change significantly as more women are vaccinated against HPV, and newer iterations of the vaccineprotectagainstmore strains of HPV. Doctors started vaccinating teens in 2006, but only a small percentage ofgirlshave been vaccinated.

In 2013, only 57 percent of girls 13 to 17 had received at leastone dose ofthevaccine.

Cervical cancer screening in the U.S. takes place in a largely unvaccinated population, a dynamic public health officials hope will change in the coming decades.

noma in situ, a precancerous condition that is generally treated with hysterectomy. It is possible the woman could have had the same outcome had she waited. It can take months or years for invasivecancer todevelop from this initial stage. But the researchers acknowledged the woman might have been harmed if she had not been screened for another year.

'This is a predictable consequence ofless fiequent screening," the researchers wrote.

Trade-offs like these make the balance ofbenefits and harm in screening a tricky business. Doctors could do such frequent screening that virtually no cancer would escapedetection,butthat could come at a heavy financial cost and with many unintended patient harms.

Instead the guidelines try to find the screening interval that will offer the best mix of maximizing cancer protection while minimizing harm.

That balance could be upset when physicians optforshorter screening intervals. Yet a 2011 survey of physicians by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found either widespread ignorance or woeful disregard ofthescreening guidelines.

Less than a third of doctors reported that they would lengthen screening intervals to three years in a 35-yearold woman with three normal pap test results and no new sexual partners, as the 2003 guidelines recommended. Fewer than one in five would lengthen screening intervalsto three years in the same patient with a normal pap test and a negative HPV test as recommended starting in 2004.

Doctors may be reluctant to movetolessfrequent testing because of the financial incentives. Or they may believe they are providing women better protection with annual screening.

There are some signs that m ore doctors and patients might be coming around. In Oregon, cervical screening ratesforwomen 18 to 39 droppedfrom 33 percent in 2009 to 25 percent in 2012.

"Mostofthatdecline,"said Dr. Sean Schafer, an epidemiologist with the Oregon Department of Human Services, "happened in women 18 to 20,"who are too young to be screened under the guidelines.

mayintensily now that the FDA has approved the first HPV test that can be used alone for primary cervical cancer screening, potentially eliminating pap tests altogether forthosepatients.

Studies have shown that HPV screeningaloneisalm ostas good as doing both tests,and that adding a pap test may not be worth the added costs.

Professional societies plan to issue interim guidance for the HPV test this summer.

They must still sort out the bestage to startscreening with HPV tests, and how to manage women who test positive for an HPV strain, but then have a normal followup pap test. And they must determine which screening interval will provide the greatest benefits with the least amount ofharm.

Individuals familiar with the societies' discussions say the guidance is likely to add screening through HPV alone as a third option alongside pap tests alone or doing both tests, rather than torecommend allproviders move to primary screening with the HPV test.

Data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California's use of HPV testing showed that HPV testing every three yearsprovided betterprotection than the current recomm endations forpap tests every three years or doing both tests every five years.

'There is really a greater reassurance in a negative HPV test than a negative pap," said Dr. Julia Gage, a National Cancer Institute epidemiologist who analyzed data from Kaiser's use of HPV tests in northern California."Many settings are still using primary pap testing, and this could be a definite viable alternative."

Australia and many European countries have already announced plans to move to HPV screening alone with screening intervals anywhere from three to seven years. Many suspect the U.S. will eventually move in that direction. The interim guidance is also likely to leave the U.S. as the only country with three different screening protocols. It also means women may move between screening protocols when they change doctors. ''We have concerns that introducing a third screening paradigm will cause a huge amount of confusion," said Dr. David Chelmow, a professor of obstetric sand gynecology at Virginia Commonwealth Uni-

Canadian golfer Lori Kane participates in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Approaching $100 million, the viral fundraising campaign for the ailment better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease has put the ALS group into the top ranks for medical charity donations. Since the end of July, the money has been sloshing in at a rate of about $9 million a week. Last year, from July 29 to Aug. 26, the group raised just $2.6 million.

ALS Continued ~om Page10C death, and the association estimatesthat about 5,600 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.

This campaign hasn't exactly put the charity in the same neighborhood as giants like the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association or Susan G. Komen for the Cure — which

raised $889 million, $529 million and $310 million last year, respectively. But it's moving into the same ZIP code now.

"People who have been in thisspace for alongperiod of time feel like it's a dream come true," says Munk.

In case you've been under the proverbial rock, here are the basic rules: Someone issues a challenge — that you allow yourself to be doused with a bucket of ice and water, like winning coaches along the sidelines. Then, the challengee has 24 hours to make a $100 donation to the ALS Association or submit to the water torture.

In the last month, everyone from Microsoftcofounder Bill Gates to former President George W. Bush has been doused. The Internet and airwaves are awash in videosofpeople taking the challenge — even if they fully

intend to write the check.

Jonah Berger, author of the book"Contagious: Why Things Catch On," says it's like a modern-day chain letter— except,in thiscase, everyone will know if you break the chain.

"Ithas alotof the key ingredients that often make people want to share things," says Berger, a marketing professorattheUniversity of Pennsylvania's Wharton School."It gives people lots of social currency tobe partof it. It makes you look good. It makes you look smart and in the know; you know what's going on. And it's always hard to back down from a challenge."

And now others are coopting the bucket challenge for their own causes.

Actor Matt Damon, for instance, dumped toilet water overhishead tocallattention to his passion — safe drinking water. Actor Orlando Jones of the television series "Sleepy Hollow" showered himself with bullets in the wake ofblack teenager Michael Brown's shooting death by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

"I'm challenging myself to listen without prejudice, to love without limits and to reverse the hate," he said."So that's my challenge — to me.

And, hopefully, you'll accept this challenge, too."

Pap smear samples are processed at Grande Ronde Hospital in La Grande. Pap testing, a medical ritual for more than 50 years, remains the best way to catch cervical cancer, which for years was the No. 1 cancer killer for women. But the potential for harm arises after a false positive test, sending women into unneeded treatment.

For years doctors have urged women to come in for annual pap smear testing to screen forcervicalcancer.

But over the past decade, women's health experts have recognized that such fiequent testing not only doesn't providegreaterprotection fiom cancer, it may be causing serious medical harm.

u n- n i i v • Fructans in wheat, not gluten, could be causing GI problems

By Tara Bannow VvesCom News Service

Gluten-fiee dieters are sprouting up all over the place. Some believe the diet will make them healthier or skinnier. Others claim a sensitivity or intolerance to gluten.

Collectively, gluten-fiee eaters fueled a more than $4.2 billion industry last year, and that number is expected to grow to more than $6.6 billion in 2017, according to the American Celiac Disease Alliance, a group that supports people with

an autoimmune disorder in which eating gluten damages their small intestines and makes it harder for theirbodiesto absorb nutrients.

The gluten-free boom — much of which in recent years has been fueled by non-celiacs — even prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationto adopt new regulations governing what constitutes a glutenfree food.

Even as all that is happening, physicians and researchers are uncertain about whether gluten sensitivity among non-celiacs exists at all.

'The jury is still out," said Dr. Eamonn Quigley, chief of the division of gastroenterol ogy and hepatology

at Houston Methodist Hospital."I don't see enough data to convince me of exactly what's going on. I think we just don't know."

Many dietitians and gastroenterologists like Quigley are now recommending that non-celiac patients who say they have a gluten sensitivity — which tends to present in the form of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation,bloating and vomiting — try what's called the low-FODMAP diet.

Kids have been zipping down streets and sidewalks on wheels of some sort for generations. Help your child avoid injury: Be sure the bike fits. One sign of a good fit: Your child's feet can touch the ground when he or she is sitting on the seat.

Be sure the helmet fits the sport and your child's head. Askthe shop's staff for help in finding the right helmet. Look for a label saying the helmet meets the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's standards.

Residents near Enterprise will soon have the chance to be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. St. Katherine Catholic Church will host Life Line Training this fall.

Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions and assess osteoperosis risk.

Packages start at $149. All five screenings take 60 to 90 to complete. For more information or to register, call 1-877-2371287 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com.

It's caught everyone offguard, none more so than the ALS Association folks.

But they know this is likely a one-off phenomenon, and the group now faces the task of spending all that money wisely. Research, care and advocacy are the group's three main missions — but officials say they don't know yet exactly how they11 use the astonishing windfall.

"I think even if I or any PR person at either a nonprofit or a for-profit company had all of the PR dollars in the world to invest, no one would have come up with this idea," says Carrie Munk, the association's spokeswoman.

Zachary Quinto

BY JACQUELINE CUTLER

Chris Moore of "Project Greenligh<" is very clear that his latest endeavor, "The

Chair," premiering Saturday, Sept. 6 on S<arz, is a documentary, no< a reality show.

"The Chair" chronicles a contest, in which two burgeoning filmmakers are pitted against each other. Each has the same script and budget.

With Zachary Quin<o ("S<ar Trek") as a mentor, and Pittsburgh as their playground, the two hopefuls create 90minute features. Eventually, the audience votes.

Direclors sel lo lake 'The Chair' OII StarZ

"I share my opinion and I provide a little guidance and advice throughout the project," Quin<o says.

He wanted <o give back <o his hometown. The film m akers must retain the characters' names, and the basic plot revolving around college students returning h om e for t h eir f i rst vacation.

Both directors rewrote the original script.

Challenger Shane Dawson is a YouTube sensation with 10 mi l l i on followers.

"I have been making videos since I was

5," he says. "My goal has always been directing."

His competition, Anna M ar<emucci, with an NYU f i l m degree, says, "I really feel like I achieved what I se< ou< <o achieve. I wanted <o make a classic teen sex movie with two elements I never see — humor-grounded reality and having weird sex and the true awkwardness of all that for a teen sex comedy where females are given equal weight, where

everybody is a complete human being."
