Its construction is monthsfrom starting but a new Central Elementary School building is looming on thehorizon.

A conceptual drawing of the two-story building, which will be constructed at Second Street and H Avenue, has been completed, and groundbreaking is set to begin in early to mid-May, according to school district offtcials.

The La Grande School District will begin accepting bids for the building project in March. The new Central Elementary School building, which will be less than 100 yards south of La Grande High School, is expected to be completed

by August 2017, said La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze.

Lindsay Warness didn't like the draft version of the Forest Service's plan to manage five million acres in Northeastern Oregon and Southeastern Washington when it was unveiled almost two years ago.

Warness was hardly alone in that opinion.

A forest policy analyst for Boise Cascade in La Grande, Warness contends the Forest Service's draft plan for the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur national forests didn't propose enough logging to keep the region's sawmills operating at current levels or to restore the Blue Mountains' ailing forests.

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT

The Observer

On Jan.15, 1976,Sara Jane Moore was sentenced to life in prison for her attempt on the life of President Gerald R. Ford in San Francisco.

The City of Elgin in collaboration with the Elgin Museum and Historical Society formed a six-person committee Tuesday night at the city council meeting to negoti ate a leaseforthe future Elgin museum.

The committee will have three members from the historical society, two councilors and City Administrator Brock Eckstein, and will meet together and discuss theterms ofthelease agreement, Eckstein said. '%e'll probably sit down next week and come up with some starting points," Eckstein said, adding that the lease will likely be comparable to the Elgin Opera House agreement.

The future museum will be located in a double-wide, three bedroom, two bathroom manufacturedhome at 350 N. Seventh Ave. Technically, the building and the land are owned by the city.

Eckstein said both were deeded to the city from the county.

According to documents submitted to the city, the Elgin Museum and Historical Society group submitted a three-phase plan for the property.

Eckstein said the museum is still in the first phase and has completed acquiring the site and investigating the cost of insurance. The next stepisto analyzethe costof operation, according tothe documents.

As evidenced in the city documents, the first phase will be completed in March.

The second phase is the renovation of the structure and is the main portion of the project.

The third phase will be the opening of the museum in 2017.

The council also elected Eckstein as the city budget officer, which is typical for a city administrator, he said.

The city also voted to put liens on properties with delinquent water bills.

Eckstein said most of the properties are abandoned but

Osburn Files for coun co • Five contesting for Union County commissioner seat

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Anyone who is closely watching the upcoming commissioner election in Union County knows a running list isprobably required atthis point.

Doug Osburn makes the fifth candidate voters will see on the ballotin the May primary.

Osburn, 67, has served on the Union City Council for more than seven years and worked for the City of Union in the wastewater department for 15 years, he said.

Osburn said the main reason he's running for commissioner is to help build a stronger economy in the county.

"I look at the main streets in all the communities and every year there are more boardedup empty buildings," Osburn said."I believe there should be a coordinated effort from the county level to help those communities thrive. I think when the cities thrive, then the county will too."

Osburn stands behind his record as a city councilman and beli eves that' sone ofthe reasons why voters should vote for him.

"I believe in people's property rights and I don't

believe in an overbearing government," Osburn said. o "I don't believe Osbum in p assing new ordinances or resolutions that violate a verbalorinsinuated agreement with people who have lived here a long time and have to change their way of living to accommodate something new. I think government is too heavy handed and that starts at the county level."

It was the Shelter From the Storm situation between the county and the domestic violence shelter that made Osburn want a change, though.

"I keep going back to the idea that there was an overwhelming, communitywide sentiment to not do what ithe county) did," he

said.'%e had a building iplanl that would house a third floor for the icourthousel and it wasn't even considered. Some of the meetings that took place, the public didn't know about.

OUR VIEW

HEY,CLEMS.' WHAT'6 THK "Foclrs T COMgfLTuTlON" POlN& 1N HERK ~ Ij l.OMS RAN oU'TtA, 9LIS'MlHT '7oll ST PAPFlE:--

SCOIlIM La Grande as a city faces a number of challenges for the upcoming year, many of which will require prudent study by elected leaders and — hopefullyvigorous debate on the road to finding viable solutions.

That is why the recent controversy regarding a letter signed by five La Grande city councilors so aptly fits the description of"needless distraction."

Needless because there remain a host of real challenges on the road to the future that deserve, and, in fact, demand the full attention of the council.

At the heart of the latest matter is whether a document that lists nine topics elected leaders want to discuss during the council's annual retreat constitutes a violation of Oregon Public Meetings law.

Mayor Steve Clements indicated during a recent city council session he believes the document is unethical and perhaps even illegal. The key question is whether the five city councilors gathered somewhere, deliberated and then collectively made a decision to push the priority items forward to the mayor. Oregon statute is fairly clear regarding such matters, outlining that a quorum of elected leaders cannot meet in private to craft or"deliberate" toward a decision on public matters. ORS 192.610 further states that a"decision" means "... any determination, action, vote or final disposition upon a motion, proposal, resolution, order, ordinance or measure w hich vote a ofa governing body is required,atany meeting at which a quorum is present."

Framed within that context, a letter outlining priorities signed or otherwise promoted by city councilors doesn't fit into a deliberation regarding a law or ordinance or a resolution. The letter says a lot about the internal mechanisms and attitudes of the council but hardly rises to the level of a Machiavellian plot to hoodwink the voting public.

If one reads between the lines what this latest city council saga tells voters is that there may be a disconnect between some councilors and the mayor.

That is reason for concern and is certainly a question and a problem the council — collectively — needs to address and iron out.

The letter does not represent a unified, methodical example of councilors banding together to enact law. If all the councilors met somewhere, crafted an ordinance or debated an existing law and then voted on it in secret and then pushed the mandate onto the books, that would represent a problem.

By all indications that isn't what occurred. What appears to have happened is five councilors put together a list ofpriorities they want the council to review during the retreat. Those priorities are certainly not secret — at least not anymore — and whether any of those topics have merit is something that can be debated.

Clements is correct to bring the issue to the attention to the public and to rightfully question whether the process was ethical. The larger concern for the public in this incident is the apparent disconnect between the mayor and other elected leaders on the council. That is an issue that should be — and must be — worked out to ensure the city can move forward into the future in a united effort to find prosperityfor residents.

n recent weeks, the people of Harney County have become no stranger to national headlines. On Jan. 2, a group of armedprotestersovertook afederal facility in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. And on Jan. 5, Dwight and SteveHammond, father and son ranchers from Harney County who were convictedofarson forsetting abackfi re thatburned 139 acresoffederalland, reportedtoprison to serve the remainder of a mandatory five year sentence.

W hile these storiesplayed out across every major media outlet, it's important to understand what is driving this anger and what steps we can take to improve the situation.

The thread that ties the Hammond family's case together with the calls of those who took over the Refuge is decadesoffrustration,arrogance and betrayal that has contributed to the mistrust of the federal government.

Too many people often don't understand the culture and the lifestyle of the great American West — and how much the ranchers and farmers who live in this vast, beautiful, harsh landscape care about the environment, their children's futures, and about America and the Constitution. Nor do they realize how hard they work to produce the food we eat. We're seeing now the extent they will go to in order to defend all that.

While I understand their passion, I cannot condone the actions of the armed protesters, led largely by people who are not fiom our state. They've made their point loud and clear, and local community leaders, including manyranchers, have asked them to leave. They should do so.

The day after the Hammonds went to prison, I went to the U.S. House floor intending to give a five-minute speech on whatwas unfolding in Harney County. But when decades of my own pent up frustration with the federal government's treatment of rural Oregonians came to the surface, I spoke before my colleagues for nearly half an hour.

In my years representing the people of Oregon's Second District, I have worked with local ranchers and the citizensofEastern Oregon toresolve disputes, to find solutions and to create a morecooperative spiritand partnership with the federal agencies. After all, more than half the Second District is under Federal management, or lack thereof.

REP. GREG WALDEN GUEST CQLUMNIST I don't get angry very often, but this arrogance really got to me. And while thereare very good federalworkersin our communities who do follow the law and do work cooperatively to find solutions, it only takes a few of the others to causeus to losefaith.

A similar experience is taking place across the West through the so-called travel management plans. Originally intended to minimize damage from off road vehicles, it quickly became a powerfultoolto close roadsand shut people out of theirforests.

What happened in the WallowaWhitman National Forest is a classic case in point. After years of community meetings, public workshops and incredible effortsto update the government's faulty maps, a forest supervisor decided she knew better. Her choice of a management plan was such an aflront that more than 900 people packed a meeting in La Grande in protest. I, too, was incensed and called upon the Forest Service to withdraw the plan, and they did. But the damage was done. How can peoplebe expected tohavefaith in a public process when they see outcomes like these?

Meanwhile, other threats loom on these same people. From the onerous "watersoftheU nited States"rules,to threats of more national monuments, thefederalgovernment isaggressively tryingtogetcattleofftherange and people off their public lands.

Right now, it's strongly rumored that the Obama administration will declare more national monuments, including one in Malheur County, next to Harney County. It could be up to 2.5 million acres — bigger than Yellowstone National Park. Ranchers and community leaders are being told either agree to abigwilderness area orplan on getting amonument shoved down your throat.

Is it any wonder we feel our way oflife is threatened by our own government? If the president wants to help reduce the tension, and try to restore a bit of trust, he would publicly back off this proposal.

federal land. We all know fire is a tool on the range todealwith invasive species and to stop other fires. In 2012, more than a million acres burned in Harney County, alone. All too often, I've met with ranchers who were burned out by backfires they say should never have been set by the agencies. And while I have thegreatestrespectfor the power of a fire, and the courage and talent of firefighters, they make mistakes, too.

The Hammonds were tried and convicted under a law written after the Oklahoma City bombing. The presiding judge in the case made clear that its penalties when applied to a fire on the high desert of eastern Oregon didn't make sense. But a court found he lacked the authority to invoke a lesser sentence.

We need to revisit the 1996 law that landed the Hammonds with a punishm ent disproporti onate to the severity of the crime. I'm working with my colleaguestodojustthat.

We need to have the president understand that more monuments may bring cheers from certain companies and communities, but in reality they leave behind more mistrust and mismanagement.

And those not familiar with the high desert of the West need to understand what we face before they quickly condemn the frustration and anger that is so evident.

CROSSING Continued ~om Page1A Oregon. All are designed to keep the public and train operators safe.

Rick Shankle, manager of the crossing safety section at the Oregon Department of Transportation, said the decision tochoosewhat a crossing gets as a guard is not a simple decision.

"Nothing in government is easy or straightforward," Shankle said.'What devicesgo ata crossing isreached by agreement by the road authority iwhere the intersection is located), the railroadoperator and my department."

Shackle said the three entities try to collaborateabout the decision forthe intersection as much as possible, but can go to court if there is no consensus. ''We're looking for a whole conglomerate of items — the number of trains passing through, the speed they're traveling, the number of cars, the speed of the cars, the distance around the area, road approaches, do school busses use the intersection, is it a normal route

PLAN Continued ~om Page1A But others assailed the 2014 draft plan Irom the opposite flank, arguing that the Forest Service was calling for too much logging, livestockgrazing and motorized vehicle access.

Critics on both sides won't have to wait too much longer to find out whether the final version of the management plans will change their views.

That document should be ready bythe end ofSeptember, said Sabrina Stadler, team leaderfortheforest plans revision project.

The managementplans for the tluee national forests au. vital documents thatwill guide how the Forest Service managesthosevastpubliclandsfor the next 15 years or so.

More than 1,000 people sent written comments to the agencyduring afi vemonth period after the draft plan debuted in March 2014.

Many commenters, among them Warness, focused on what they deemed flaws in the Forest Service's proposed approach.

The volume of comments, and thewidespread dissatisfaction with the draft plan, promptedForestService officials to, as they put it, "re-engage" with the public.

Thatmeant, in part, a series ofmore than a dozen public meetings across the regionin 2015 at which ForestService olficials asked residents to suggest ways to improve the drak managementplans.

The most recent of those meetings happened in December.

'The meetings have really helped to better know the individuals that commented and to better understand the intent of what was written in the letters," Stadler said.

'The team has reflected on the conversations we've had.

We are meeting with our

for Hazmat vehicles, what the road surfaces are," Shankle said.'There's a number of different criteria to come up with to help determine the best devices."

With more than 100 diferent devices, Shankle explained markings on the road, signs activated by the train, automated flashing lights and bells are all different options to be determined.

"It all depends on the crossings," he said.'Wehave 2,400 publiccrossings in the state.Approximately 1,900 are at-grade crossing, which means the road and track are atthe same level.

1,900 of those have some type of warning devices on them."

Shankle said an estimated cost of a signali zed crossing activated by an approaching train can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. ''When we pay for something like that, thecrossing serviceacrossthetrackwill haveconcrete panelsand the devicesat the crossing will have flashing lights, bellsand two gates,oneforeach approach to the crossing, will run between

Shankle said a sign costs approxi-

mately $300.

For situations where there is a fatality at a railroad crossing, ODOT will use the materials analyzed from the policedepartment'sinvestigation.

"Ifit'sa random actorifit'ssom ething that needs to have some type of improvement determines whether the device needs to be changed," he said.

However, he said, if any of the three entities involved in the choice of the device want to make a change to the crossing, then they are responsible for paying for it. ''We receive $2.1 million in funds for safety improvements every year," he said.'That doesn't go very far.

Typically, it's spent to convert passive crossing gike a stop sign) to signalized crossings."

Among the top concerns for officials from Boise Cascade, which depends on trees from the three national forests to keep its Union County mills running, is that the Forest Service will not be aggressive enough in loggingovercrowded forests.

Warness said none of the five strategies outlined in the 2014 draft plan would, in her estimation, "meet the needsoftheforestsorour communities."

Nick Smith, executive directorofHealth Forests, Healthy Communities, a nonprofit that advocates for "active, sustainable forest management," according toitswebsite,agreesw ith Warness.

Smith contends the message people expressed in written comments to the 2014 draft, and during ForestService-hosted meetings in 2015, was unmistakable.

"The Forest Service should have heard loud and clearthat thereisa strong desire to be managing these national forestsforforest health and sustaining our forestproducts infrastructure," he said.

Both Smith and Warness want the Forest Service to add a sixth strategy to the five included in the 2014 draft.

This new alternative, they say,should callforconsiderably more logging than even the mostaggressiveofthe five in the draft plan.

That most aggressive alternative, designated"0'in the drak, proposes an annual harvest ofabout243 million board-feet of timber fiom the threenationalforests.

That represents a substantial increase overthe approximately 50 million

board-feet thetrio offorests has produced annually over the past decade or so.

But Warness contends it would take an estimated 375 mill ion board-feetofcutting each year to meet the capacity of the region's mills and to help restore sickly, overcrowded forests.

She's concerned that with the Forest Service aiming to release a final plan by the end of September, there isn't enough time to incorporate an entirely new alternative strategy, and thatalternative D will continue to •

Stadler, the Forest Service team leader, said the agency is not working on a new alternative. Instead officials are "making changes to the preferredalternative"— the one likely to most accurately reflect the strategy outlined in the management plans the Forest Service eventu-

ally adopts.

The Oregon Ducks have struggled with slow starts on the road this season. If Utah was expecting that on Thursday night, they had another thing coming. eWe were really aggressive right from the start," Dillon Brooks said.

Brooks had 21 points and eight rebounds and the Ducks had the Utes reeling from the opening tip on their way to a 77-59 victory. ''Wow, that was a fun game. To play that well on the road was huge for us.

We knew how much energy they would have in their first conference home game and we just had to exceed that and be the aggressor," said Casey Benson, who scored a

career-high 15 points.

The Ducks i14-3, 3-1 Pac 12l never trailed in notching theirthird straight conference win.

"That was as good a game as we have played, the whole game," Oregon coach Dana Altman.'You hate to get down early on the road and we'vehad a problem with that this year. Not this time."

Brandon Taylor led Utah i12-5, 1-3l with 12 points as the Ducks neutralized the Utes' interior offense.

Sophomore center Jakob Poeltl, who missed a couple of practice days this week with a sprained ankle, made just one fi eld goaland had seven points in Utah's first home loss of the season.

'You may not always have

your 'A' game, but if you come in withyour'D' game you are going to get your butt kicked," Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said.

The Ducks shot 55 percent for the game while the Utes connected on just 34 percent of their shots, even though many came kom close range. eWe m ade their bigsguard us and we spread the court so wewere able to exploitthe middle. Plus, we have great shooters so they had to stay out on them and gave us room to move," Brooks said.

Obviously, anything can happen on any given night, and upsets are possible, but I will be very surprised if La Grande doesn't go undefeated.

• Wapiti: Sorry, Northeast Oregon fans, but the Wapiti is Burns' to lose this year.

The Hilanders return several key components kom a team that reached the 2A title game last year, including lastyear'sleague co-player of the year, Catherine Clemens. Burns won the league's regularseason titlebefore losing to Union in the league tournament. This winter, all 13 of its wins have been by double figures, including four wins against 4A and 5A schools, and its lone loss is to 3A Nyssa by just four.

After Burns, though, is when it gets muddled. Entering play today, Grant Union and Enterprise aretied for second at 3-1, with Imbler nipping at their heels at 2-1 and Union at 1-2. The Prospectors have wins over the Outlaws and Bobcats, and probably have the upperhand for second, but Enterprise has rallied with three wins in a row. Imbler is dangerous, and Union, though young and dealing with injuries, can't be counted out. Cove and Elgin are mired in losing streaks, with the Leopards dropping four in a row and the Huskies losers of their last eight. Both are already behind the 8-ball with losses to the teams above them.

Getting into one of those top five spots to qualify for the district tournament, while not impossible, will be very difficult kom where they stand.

These kids who want to continue to play, it'll get exposure for EOU and for them."

For Camp, it's a trip that provides a challenge as he has just a handful of days to prep and coach athletes he mostly isn't familiar with for the game. However, it gives him a chance to interact with coaches kom across the country and glean information he hopes will benefit Eastern in the long run.

The returners are joined by a large keshman class dotted with state-champion talent. Among the newcomers on the women's side is Andrea Lemus-Cisneros of Umatilla, who won the Class 3A state championship in the 200-meter dash and placed fourth in the 100. Former Viking teammate Amie Zitterkob took second in both races, and the pair was also on a title-winning 4-by-100 relay team. Local standout Morgan Reddington joins Eastern after taking second in the 100 for Cove at the 2A level last spring.

On the men's side, Welch pointed to Codi Blodgett of Clatskanie, a 3A state champion in both the 100 and 200, and Jebarri Cumberbatch from Barbados as newcomers who could make an immediate impact. eWe got a really good keshmen sprint class," Welch said.

The Mounties tentatively have just six meets lined up for the short indoor season before the NAIA National

Championships March 3-5 in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Four of those meets, including the regular season finale, are in Nampa, with the final meet before nationalstaking place Feb.13.

Welch is also curious to see how his younger athletes, which make up about half of the roughly 45 he's taking to Nampa, handle their first indoor meet. He noted the track, for example, is just half the size at 200 meters, with banked corners and the setting is much smaller and intimate. All this is while they competeagainsta range of athletes, including those at the Division I level.

'There's just quite a few tricks to it, how to run in and out of the corners without slowing down, how to pace yourself on a smaller track," he said."It's just a different atmosphere, more kind of upbeat and uptempo than what people are typically used to. With us competing primarily against Division I, that brings an element of interest and intensity to it, too."

Since the occupation began on Jan. 2 at the refuge headquarlers southeastof Burns, Ammon Bundy, his bmther, Ryan Bundy, and their supportershave aired theirgrievances with the federal government at regular news conferences.

The Bundys — sons of ¹ vada rancher Cliven Bundy, who earned fame for his 2014 standoff with federal officers — have said they do not plan to leaveuntilthe federalgovernment hands over control of public lands there to the people of the county.

For County Judge Steve Grasty, the highest elected official in the county, the number of federal workersisjust another sign of an economy holding on to agriculture as a driver. The agencies manage public land.

"The only industry that we havelef tisthe agriculture industry," he said.

There are two pieces to the agriculture industry in Harney County, Grasty said: grazing, which mainly occurs

Souice: Bureau of Land Managefnent, U.S. Fieh and yltdlNe Servioe

on public land, and hay production, which mainly occurs on private land.

Chiefamong the Bundy's gripes is how the BLM manages grazing in Harney County and around the West.

Harney County covers more than 10,100 square miles. About 6,000 square miles of it — about 60 percent — is overseen by the BLM, according to information kom the U.S. Census Bureau and the BLM. Much more spacious than the close cluster of counties around Oregon's population center in the Portland metropolitan area, Harney County encompasses more than 10 percent ofthe state and an area 35 times that of Crater Lake National Park. It's the largest county in Oregon.

Being a big county means few people per square mile, with the 2010 Census show-

Carli Krueger / The Bulletin

ing there was less than one person per square mile, 0.7 people per square mile to be exact. In contrast, Oregon as a whole has about 40 people per square mile and Deschutes County has more than 50 peoplepersquaremile.

Governments in general are big employers in Harney County, with local and state governmentagenciesproviding about 750 jobs combined, according to Oregon Employment Department.

The commotion and dosures caused by the ongoing occupation at the refuge have been costly for the county, Grasty said. Last week, when schools were closed because of the occupation, he estimates it cost the county about $60,000 a day. The costis less this week with school backin session.

Grasty plans on sending an invoice Friday to the militants at the refuge.

SALEM — After years of delayfrom state agencies running Oregon's hemp program, the Legislature aired its latest ideas for hemp in Oregon. Among them: folding hemp into the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program but not limiting the number of plants growers can produce.

The proposal appears to directl yaddress the setbacks growerssaid theyfaced last year during Oregon's first legal hemp season in decades.

The state Department of Agriculture told growers they couldn't use greenhouses or other techniques that are also used in the marijuana industry.

The conceptintmduced by Rep. Carl Wilson, R-Grants Pass, would rewrite the state's 2009 law that first legalized hemp and explicitly allow hemp fanners to grow the plantin any way they want, potentially opening up the clearest pathway for Oregonians to farm hemp after yearsofbureaucraticdelays.

"I have great excitement and exuberance about this

product and what it can do," Wilson said Wednesday.

The proposal, which received a largely wann unveiling during a public hearing in the Legislature's marijuana committee Wednesday, comes aftergrowers faced with pushbackkom the Department of Agriculture harvested few acres in Oregon's first legal hemp season.

Farmers had been eager to grow hemp, which has virtually no psychoactive ingredients, for another product that is potentially highly profitable: cannabidiol, or CBD oil.

In addition to its fibers, edible seeds and potential as a biofuel and building material, hemp if grown well can produce high quantities of CBD, which some believe has curative qualities capable of treating and even curing cancer and other ailments.

Trump,Cruiassert theirstanding atopRepuiilicanfield

By Julie Pace and Bill Barrow The Associated Press

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. -

With just over two weeks until voting begins, Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz firmly asserted their standing atop the GOP race in a fiery debate, overshadowinga crowded fi eld of rivals still grappling for a way to overtake the front-runners.

Thursday night's debate underscoredthat thecompetition between Trump and Cruz will be rough-and-tumble in the days leading up to the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses, a shift from the relative civility that's defined their relationship until now.

The candidates tangled over Cruz's eligibility to serve as commander in chief and the real estate mogul's "New York values," with Trump besting his rival with an emotional recounting ofhis hometown's responsetothe Sept.11attacks. ''WhentheWorld Trade Center came down, I saw something that no place on Earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than New York," Trump said."That was a very insulting statement that Ted made."

Trump renewed his suggestion thatCruz may notbe eligible to serve as commander in chief saying the senator has a"big question mark" hanging over his candidacy, given his birth in Canada to an American mother. Cruz suggested Trump was only ~ on h i m because he's challenging for the lead in Iowaand the businessman agreed.

Thursday's debate was one of the last high-profile opportunities other candidates on stage had to sway

But none appeared to emerge with a breakout moment.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who holdsa slightadvantage over the field of more mainstream candidates, found himself in heated exchanges with both Cruz and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Rubio likened Christie's policies to President Barack Obama's, particularly on guns, Planned Parenthood and education reform — an attackChristiedeclared false. Seeking to undermine Rubio's qualifications for president, Christie suggested that senators "talk and talk and talk" while governors such as himself are "held accountable for everything you do."

Cruz confronted Rubio late in the debateover hissupportfora Senate bill that would have created a pathway to citizenship for people in the

Thursday night's debate came at the end of a week that has highlighted anew the deep rifts in the Republican Party. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a rising GOP star, was widely praised by many party leaders for including a veiled criticism of Trump's angryrhetoric during her response to Obama's State of the Union address — only to be chastised by conservative commentators and others for the exact same comment.

Trump said he wasn't offended

by Haley's speech and argued his anger is justified.

'Tm very angrybecause our country is beingrun horribly,"he said."And I will gladly accept the mantle of anger."

Trump also stuck with his controversial call for temporarily banning Muslims from the United States because offearofattacks emanatingfrom abroad.He said he

U.S. illegally, an unpopular position among GOP primary voters. Rubio tried to flip the criticism around on Cruz, accusing him of switching positions on immigration himself, as well as on numerous other issues.

'That is not consistent conservatism," Rubio said."That is political calculation."

Cruz was also on the defensive about his failure to disdose on federal election forms some $1million in loans fium Wall Street banks duringhis 2012 Senate campaign. He said it was little more than a paperworkermr."

Rubio and Christie are among the candidates seeking to break out of the establishment pack, particularly in the New Hampshire primary, which quickly follows the leadoff Iowa caucuses. The race in Iowa has settled into a tight, two-way contest between Trump and Cruz.

had noregretsabout the proposal and noted his poll numbers went up after he announced the plan.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has emerged as a frequent critic of Trump, urged the frontrunner to reconsider the policy. ''Whatkind of signal does that sendtotherestoftheworld?"said Bush, who has struggled to gain any momentum in the race and often appeared overshadowed Thursdaynight.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich also broke with Trump on the Muslim ban, but like the entire GOP field, called for at least a temporary halt on the Obama administration's plan to allow thousands of Syrian refugees into the country.

"I've been for pausing the Syrian refugees," Kasich said."But we don't want to put everybody in the same category."

On the economy and national security, the candidates agreed any of them would be better than Obama or Hillary Clinton.

"On Tuesday night, I watched story time with Barack Obama, and it sounds like everything in the world was going amazing," Christie said.

Bush suggested the country was less safe under Obama and declared Clinton would be a"national securitydisaster."

Rubio went even further, saying Clinton was "disqualified for being commander in chief," accusing her of mishandling classified information and lying to the families of Americans killed in the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Ben Carson generated laughs after joking about having to wait nearly 15 minutes to get his first question.

MIAMI — A rare January hurricane formed far out in the Atlantic on Thursday, and U.S.officials said it was the first hurricane to form in the month of January since

1938.

Hurricane Alex's maximum sustained winds were near 85 mph. A hurricane warning was issued for Portugal's mid-Atlantic Azores Islands, where the Civil Protection Service issuedaweather red alert, the highest of four warnings that indicates extreme risk, forfi ve ofthearchipelago's nine islands. It said residents should expect waves up to 60 feet high and wind gusts up to 100 mph.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said in a Facebook post that there hasn't been a hurricane present during the month of January since 1955, when Alice formed in late December 1954 and carried over into the next month.

The hurricane was centeredabout 415 milesi670 kilometers) south of Faial Island in the central Azores and was moving northnortheast near 20 mph i31 kphl. Alex was expected to move near or over parts of the Azores on Friday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center sard.

The Azores government on Thursday advised kindergartens to stay closed and told residentsto ensure drainage systems aren't blocked.

The archipelago, which has a population of around 250,000, has been threat-

WEEKLY FISHING REPORT

SLED DOG RACING

GRANDE RONDE RIVER • The river is no longer locked in ice and flows are at a desirable range for catching steelhead.

Water temperatures are still cold, so look for fish in slow tailouts where they can rest. This year's run of steelhead is one of the best in recent years and catch rates have been good throughout the season.

r

eg glECapexrrrrmie.gorp

IMNAHA RIVER • Anglers are still finding success for steelhead on the Imnaha River. Most of the success is currently below Horse Creek. However, a few fish have been caught just below the town of Imnaha.

Fishing will pick up as winter progresses into spring.

WALLOWA RIVER • The river is free of ice and a few anglers are finding steelhead. As winter progresses and fish move toward the hatchery facilities, fishing will improve.

This year's run is one of the best in recent history and catch rates are expected to be high when the peak fishing arrives.

• The Wallowa is also a whitefish factory and can produce some large fish. Whitefish are native to Oregon and are a respected sportfish across the West. Whitefish can be great in the smoker and are a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing.

WALLOWA LAKE • Some holdover trout wilI still be available for the hardy trout fishermen willing to brave the cold weather. Kokanee can also be caught by jigging deep during the winter months. The lake does not reliably freeze every year.

However, when the lake does freeze, ice fishing can produce good catch rates for trout and kokanee.

JOHN DAY RIVER • Steelhead fishing has slowed due to cold temperatures and the river icing over. River flows are now near 500 cubic feet per second at Service Creek.

Eagle Cap Extreme photo

Brett Bruggeman, 2015 Eagle Cap Extreme champion, receives a high-five at the starting line of last year's race. Bruggeman is among 10 mushers set to embark on Joseph next week for the 200-mile, three-day race, half of whom bring Iditarod experience.

By Ronald Bond VVesCom News Serwce

The 2016 edition of the Eagle Cap Extremesleddog race,scheduled for Thursdaythrough Saturday,notonly has alarge fi eld forits200-milerace, but the talent pooled for the 12thannual event is deep.

Half of the 10 mushers currently registeredforthisyear'srace have past experience in the well-known IditarodSled Dog Race.

That fact, coupled with 2015 Eagle Cap Extreme winner Brett Bruggeman returning to attempt a repeat, has race board member and Public Relations Coordinator Troy Nave excited.

'This is going to be by far the most

competitive field we've put out in 12 years by a long shot," he said.

Bruggeman, a resident of Great Falls, Montana, won the 200-mile race last year with a time of 30 hours, 3 minutes, and is back looking to repeatand pulloffthe same featas Laura Daugereau, who won both the 2013 and 2014 races.

Bruggeman bested last year's 10-racer field by 37 minutes over runner-up Jessie Royer of Darby, Montana i30:40l, an impressive feat given Royer's pedigree as a repeat competitor in the Iditarod who took fourth last year.

"She's the highest caliber racer in terms ofher resume that we've had," Nave said, noting that Royer is

The first is mellow and STEELHEAD NATION also happens to be the son oflegendary singer/songCAMERON SCOTT writer Townes Van Zandt. The other is a firecracker; a fish addicted elder statesman from whom no fish is safe, called Zeenie. ne of the things I love most about Oregon is how quickly the weather can change. Seems Spoiler alert: Van Zandt spends the entire film like one week we might have winter temperaswinging flies and ends up catching a single steeltures dipping into the single digits, and the next a head. Zeenie, on the other hand, is a bobber-centric, chinook will blow through and warm things up into fish-whacking machine. As their two philosophies the low 40s. When that happens, it is time to take clash and their friendship/mentorship becomes strained, the film explores the physical, metaphysiadvantage and get out on the river.

Life can be this way, too. Which is why it is handy cal and spiritual thing we call fishing for steelhead — which reminds me of a recent joke I overheard to have certain rituals you look forward to every year when slush runs heavy in our local river sysabout steelheading in Wallowa County.

One ofthose Iditarod veterans, JasonCampeau ofRocky Mountain House, Alberta, is back after missing last winter's Eagle Cap Extreme, but Campeau is coming off an impressive 2015 year that saw him take 18th in the Iditarod and seventh in the 1000mile Yukon Quest a few weeks earlier — his first time running both races.

The Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. — Wildlife officials have divvied up how many grizzly bears can be killed by hunters in the Yellowstone region of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho as the statesseek controlofa species shielded from hunting for the past 40 years, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The region's grizzlies havefederalprotections,but that could change in coming months, turning control over to the states. The AP obtainedadraftagreement detailing thestates'plansfor the animals.

The deal puts no limits on grizzly bear hunting outside a 19,300-square-mile management zone centered on Yellowstone National Park. Inside the zone, which includes w ilderness and forestlands near the park, hunters in W yoming would geta 58 percentshare ofthe harvest, a reflection that it's home to the bulk of the region's bears.

M ontana would get34 percent, and Idaho, 8 percent.

The management zone has an estimated minimum

717 grizzly bears. There is no estimate ofhow many live outside the area, although the number is increasing as they expand into new habitat, biologists say.

Wildlife advocates say the bearpopulation remains too small to withstand much hunting. That's a particular concern given the large numbers ofbears already dying, including during surprise run-ins with hunters and after livestock attacks that prompt officials to trap and kill problem bears.

In 2015, atleast59Yellowstone-area grizzlies were believed to have been killed or trapped and removed by government agencies. That's the most since the animal received protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1975.

Despite the deaths,state officials say the grizzly population has recovered from excessive hunting and trapping that exterminated grizzlie sacrossmost ofthe U.S. in the early 1900s. The officials have increased pressure on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Dan Ashe in recent months to revoke the

animal's threatened status.

Directors ofthe three states'wildlife agencies told Ashe in a Dec. 4 letter that such a step was long overdue.

"It is critically important that we capitalize on our tremendous progress and momentum ... by proceeding with a long overdue delisting" ofbears from the threatenedspecieslist,the directors wrote.Itwassigned

by IdahoFish and Game Director Virgil Moore; Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Director Jeff Hagener; and Wyoming Game and Fish Director ScottTalbott.

Wildlife advocates and some bear researchers dispute government claims that the Yellowstone bear population is stable or increasing. A closerlook atthe trends suggests it's actually in decline, said David Mattson, a former grizzly researcher with the U.S.GeologicalSurvey.

"All indicators are we have a population that's in trouble, "Mat tson said."It boggles my mind that people would consider going down this path that could consist of implementing a sport hunt."

Lately, the world seems a lot darker. And threats can be anywhere — even our own street corners.

Experts say we should arm ourselves with street smarts, situational awareness and basic defensive moves. Anyone can benefit from knowing a few simple moves to stay betterprotected.

W e asked self-defense experts familiar with fighting for one favorite move they recommend that everyone learn. Following aretheirtips— from defensive moves to using your body weight to make it harder to be taken.

More rapid identification will ensure that the right antibiotic is started earlier, potentially reducing length of hospitalization and cost. By limiting the use of broad-spectrumantibiotics,disease-causing bacteria can be eliminated before the helpful strains are killed.

Defensive kick Before even teaching defensive measures, AvitalZeisler,creatorofthe Soteria Method self-defense program, first preaches the importance of situational awareness. Paying attention to your surroundings is paramount, she said. But if you should find yourself caught off guard, one ofhertop protective moves — pretty much a good one in anybody's book — is a defensive push kick. Target the groin, she said, and use your hip to thrust your foot forward in a kick. Drive the ball of your footintothe attacker'sgroin,the idea being to push the attacker back.

She suggests the more conventional groin kick with the top of the foot as another option, but pushing back is preferred if you're trying to keep the attacker at bay.

In the course of promoting the book, she has heard stories of emotional healing from cat-, dog- and horse-lovers.

Cascio tells his students to remember the phrase "base and space" to help maneuver an escape.

The "space" part means creating distance from the attacker. aYou cannot let the attacker stay close to you in a bear hug," Cascio said.

Use your arms to protect yourself with this basic move, suggests hand-to-hand combat expert Zeisler, who recently launched a site for her tips and workouts.

You want to try and hit the attacker in the face, back of the head or groin, depending on what angle the attacker is facing.

Use the meaty side of your fist to strike out, and twist your body to slam your fist into the attacker. Use a downward motion to drive the side of your fist down on the attacker' sface.Ifthe attacker doubles over, strike again in the back of the neck.

THETHERAPEUTIC BENEFITS OF PETS

at 1 t • Research suggests dogs have other benefits, such as reducing stress and encouraging exercise

By Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tnbune

Julie Barton was sitting on the couch one day with her head in her hands, utterly defeatedby the severe depression that filled her with sadness and self-loathing, when she felt an unexpected warmth in her toes.

Her fluffy red golden retriever puppy, Bunker, was sitting on her feet.

"He leaned against me, and itseemed tome tobe very deliberate," she says. "He looked at me like, 'Are you better?' or 'Did that help?' and I thought, 'Either I'm going totally crazy, or he sees me.' And I decided to do one hopeful thing, which was to trustthat feeling."

Barton's new memoir, "Dog Medicine: How My Dog Saved Me From Myself," joins a growing list of books, both fiction and nonfiction, that highlight the role pets can play in emotional healing.

While the iconic pets of the past — Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Benji,"That Darn Cat" — saved humans from physical dangers, the furry heroes of books such as the national best-seller "Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him" (Hachettel and the novel"The Dog Who Saved Me" (St. Martin's Press), help their owners fend off depression, anxiety and PTSD. Science is moving in the same direction, with research suggesting that dogs bring down stress levels, encourage physical activity and reduce depression.

"The results are almost always the same: You get anyplace between a 30 percent and a 50 percent added improvement in the reduction of depressionscores (w ith pets),so it's quite huge," Coren says.

Questions remain: A 2014 review of the effectiveness of animal-assisted therapy for the elderly (uThe Benefit of Pets and Animal-Assisted Therapy to the Health of Older Individuals" in Current Gerontology and Geriatrics Research complained of the "poor methodological quality" of pet therapy studiesand pointed to issues such as small sample sizes, and lack of adequate controls and comparison groups.

It's a good time to find out the levels of the cancer-causing gas in your home becausewhen temperatures fall, radon levels rise.

Radon is the No. 1 cause of lung cancer in non-srnkker. In addition, smokers are much more likely to experience lung cancer if they are also exposed to radon.

"One great resolution is to get your home tested for radon," said Curtis Cude, manager ofthe Oregon Health Authority's Environmental Public Health Surveillance Program.

There are different types of tests.

You can learn more about shortterm and long-term tests and where areas of low to high risk for high radon levels are around the state by going to Oregon Radon Awareness Program's website at www. healthoregon.org/radon.

A winter radon test is likely to show the highest seasonal levels because: • A closed house keeps radon from getting into outside air. In the winter, we tend to keep our windows and doors closed. Radon is not able to dilute as fast and can build up in the horn. This results in higher radon concentrations.

• The stack or chimney effect is increased during the heating season.

side air, it rises and exits the house.

The warm air that is no longer in the house has to be replaced. Soil gases from under the house tend to replace that air. The warmer the house and the colder it is outside, the greater the "stack" effect is at drawing radon into the horn.

• More radon can come into thehouse.Radon comes from the soil underneath the house. In winter months, the ground around our home can freeze.This creates another layer for radon to try to get through. Because less radon is being released around the horn, the radon build-up and the house's air pressure actasavacuum.Thism ay result in higher radon concentrations. Rainy periods also can create a cap on the soil.

By Dr. George R.Wettach Imagine if your doctor could swab a wound, learn which infection it is, and prescribe the best antibiotic — all in a fraction of the time it usually takes.

Microbiology is one of the most time-consuming areas of the clinical laboratory.Traditionally, organisms have been identified through a variety of techniques, Wetta c h including observing how they interact with different chemicals as they grow. The greatest challenge is knowing which tests to apply up front.

This is why microbiologists require a description ofthe source and prefer as much information about the patient as possible, such as age, symptoms, and history of any sick contacts.

The specimen is streaked onto one or more gelatin plates with different nutrients. Some organisms require specific sugars and proteins to grow, a fact that allows us to distinguish one from another. After several hours to even a few days, a microbiologist must then transfer small colonies to other tubes and cards to see how the organism responds to various chemicals.

These patterns must then be recorded and interpretedcorrectly to reach the right conclusion.

Matrix-assi sted laserdesorption and ionization time-of flight mass spectrometry — or MALDI-TOF — will greatly shorten the time to result by eliminating the need for these biochemical tests.

Once theorganism isisolated on a culture plate, typically after 16 to 24 hours, a small sample is smeared onto a metallic plate with a proprietary matrix.

This system uses barcodes to help minimize clerical errors, and there are crosshairstoguide a laserto the target on the plate. The laser then blasts the specimen, and the fragments are vacuumed through a column. As pieces strikea detector,thetimes ofim pact are recorded as peaks on a graph.

A computer inside the instrument comparesthe pattern ofpeaks against an expanding library of known bacteria and fungi.

"For years, some have argued that there's nothing really new in microbiol-

ogy," says Sandi Larison, MT (ASCPl. "This is a total game changer."

There are only a few such instruments in Oregon and Idaho. Nationwide, Grande Ronde Hospital is one of very few critical access hospitals with this technology, joining the ranks of much larger facilities, such as the Mayo Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente.

While waiting for cultures to grow and other conventional tests to be completed, doctors often usebroadspectrum antibi oticsbased on a best guess of what is causing the infection.

Eastern Oregon University point guard Maloree Moss is off to a fantastic start to her senior season. Against Northwest University Dec. 30, she had Eastern's first triple-double in nearly four years.

Her play has kicked into highgear recently. After her triple-double, Moss scored a season-high 14 points in a win over Evergreen State. She followed that up with eight assists in the win over thenNo. 24 Warner Pacific College, and tallied eight points in 22 minutes in a blowout victory over Multnomah University.

"She was a great shooter in high school. She just didn't always believe she could," Weissenfluh said. "But she's got good confidence now, and she can shoot as well asanyone in ourprogram.

She knows that our team relies on her to shoot the ball."

Moss believesit'sthe mental side that has led to her successful senior campaign.

"I think it's my mental toughness," Moss said. "One thing with Anji is she wants you to be mentally tough, and I think coming in as a freshman, I was not. That has probablybeen one ofmy biggest growths."

That mental toughness may come in handy for Moss when this season concludes. A 4.0 student at Eastern currently enrolled in the Master's program for arts and teaching, student teaches at the high school in Imbler. She said it's a fun age to teach, and wants to stay in that age range when she graduates.

"It was hard earning their respect initially, because I am pretty young," Moss said. "But now I really enjoy it."

It's human nature in sports to look ahead to that big rivalry showdown. In Eastern Oregon University's case, it's Saturday that features the game of the weekin the Cascade Collegiate Conference when undefeated No. 8 Southern Oregon University visits for a battle.

But the second-place Mounties didn't compile a 7-1 CCC record by lookingdown theroad.Their eyesarefirmly fixed on Friday's meeting with a dangerous Oregon Tech squad.

"It's hard to stay focused on OIT, because that rivalry with Southern is exciting," Eastern's Maloree Moss said."But OIT is not a team you can overlook.

They're always a top team in the conference."

The Owls enter today's matchup nipping at Eastern's heels with a 6-2 conference mark and are one of the top teams in numerous statistical categories.

"A big thing is, this is the first time in my (collegel career I've come back to the same coach," he said. "Playing for the same coach in back-to-back years has helped me out a lot."

His season-high of 30 points came in a 102-75 blitzing of Corban University Dec. 18, in which he was 7-for-10 from beyond the arc.

"He's in by far the best shape of anybody on our team, and he came into the season in phenomenal shape to start the year," Eastern head coach Jared Barrett said."I have a lot of guards, and the fact that I play him 35 minutes a game says a lot about him on offense, defense, rebounding, communicating — everything on the floor.

Following that stint, he moved on to Sacramento State, also a D-I program, where he played in 20 games as a sophomore, with a season high of nine points. But he wasn't happy in California and wanted to play closer to home, and EOU's connection to Rada brought him here.

"My assistant last year, Kris Groce, is from the Tri-Cities and also played for me at (Sacramento State)," said Barrett, who was an assistant for the Hornets for six years.eWith Kris knowing Case, we got in touch with him, and he ended up coming here."

Stuck in the middle of the Cascade Collegiate Conference pack with a 4-4 record, Eastern Oregon University is aware of just what is at stake this weekend.

"It's a huge weekend for us," headcoach Jared Barrettsaid."It's an opportunity to do something we haven't done this year — beat teams that are ranked ahead of us."

Today, the Mountaineers welcome Oregon Tech, a team that was ranked in the top 10 earlier this year. That precedes Southern Oregon University, the team tied for first in the conference, coming to Quinn Coliseum Saturday. The Raiders are 7-1 in CCC play and ranked No. 12 in the latest NAIA Division II coaches poll.

Barrett said."They play man and a 2-3 zone. Sometimes they're switching offball screens, sometimes they're not. They're playing well on both ends and they're playing with confidence. I have bigger guards, so we should be able to switch some offball screens and hopefully keep them in front and take away the 3-point line."

The Raiders, meanwhile, are prolific offensively with an unselfish nature, as they lead the conferencewith 19.61 assistspergame.

Southern averages 83.22 points a game and shoots a Cascade-best 50.5 percent from the field, but Eastern has been holding opponents to just a 41 percent shooting clip, good for second in the CCC. "Southern is playing really well," Barrett said.'Their pointguard and shootingguards shootitreally well and at a high percentage.

They run an offense with not a lot of on-ball screens, but they just execute. They're just really solid. They share the ball really well, they mix up their defenses and they've got really good program guys.

"Both of these teams have kids that will outwork a lot of teams and are really solid. The guys should not have a hard time being abletogetup forthesegames."

After splitting their last weekend homestand, Rada and his teammates hope the outcome turns out differently this weekend.

"It's always important to hold down the home court," he said.

'This is our place. We want to defend the home court."

1. Southern Oregon: The Raiders get the nod as the top team due to their 80-75 win over NCU this season.

2. Northwest Christian: Since that loss to Southern, however, the Beacons have reeled off seven straight wins.

3. College of Idaho: After losing three straight, the Yotes have won four in a row.

7. Oregon Tech: After three CCC losses to start conference play, the Owls havewon six ofseven games.

8. Evergreen: The Geoducks have dropped five of their last seven games.

BY GEORGE DICKIE

Rashida Jones

It's been more than three decades since the short-lived cop show parody "Police Squad!" graced the small screen.

A wordiy descendant in die same vein will try to make a more successnrt go of it beginning this week on TBS. "Angfe Trfbeca," premiering Sunday, Jan. 17, widi all 10 episodes of its first season, is a satire of police procedurals with the soul of"Airplane!" or die aforementioned 1982 Mslie Nielsen sitcom. And diat becomes evident in die names of some of the characters.

Created by Steve and Nancy Carell t"The OfFice"), die half-hour comedy surs Rashfda Jones 1"Parks and Rccreadon," "The OfFice") as die dtle

The deadpan 'Angie Tribeca' spoofs police procedurals

character, a lone-wolf LAPD detective who is not thrilled to be paired with her new partner, J Geils (Hayes

Vermeulen t"FCU: Fact Checkers Unit"). There is also die squad's apoplectic captain, Chet Atkins t)ere detective Danny Tanner (Deon Cole,

"black-Ish").

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, they take on Los Angeles' toughest cases, from a venirfloquist' murder to a rash ofbaker suicides.

"The tone of something just depends on how you play it," explains Vermculen, no siranger to sadre from her days with die Chicago improv uoupe Upright Cfdzens Brigade, "so you could read the same sentence five different ways and we've just chosen to play difngs very seriously.

"There's a scene benvcen Rashfda and I," she continues, "where one of our detectives played by Hayes MacArthur, he's gone rogue ... and he's decided diat he's going to be a lifeguard and twe) can't get him back from the beach. And Rashfda and I have a very serious conversation where I ask how bad it is and she very seriously says,'He pooped in the sand and covered it like a cat.' And I go, 'Oh, I see.' Like played so seriously but we're saying die most ridiculous things."
