SALEM — Cylvia Hayes — the woman at the center of an ethics scandal that prompted the resignation of Gov. John Kitzhaber last week — has launched a legal fight to keep her private emails out of the public eye.

The lawsuit came to light Thursday, the day that Oracle Incu the tech giant that built Oregon's botched health insurance exchange, filed a lawsuit against several of Kitzhaber's former campaign advisers. The company accusesKitzhaber'sadvisersoforchestrating the abandonment of the Cover Oregon website to help his re-election effort. Oracle also served notice that it might sue Kitzhaber and hisformer chiefofstaff.

The flurry oflawsuits keeps alive two controversies that weighed on Oregon's oncepopular governor.

According to Roberts, in its nonlethal war chest, the county owns five miles of electrified flagged fencingavailableforranchers touse duringcalving season,threereceivers, three antennas, a directional finder and two radio-activated guard boxes.

The guard boxes, which emit loud sounds when a collared wolf triggers a signal, "don't work as well due tothe terrain,and batteriesare an issue," Roberts said.

The batteri es,powered by solar panels, don't stay charged in the winter. Water gets into the boxes, compromising the electronics.

Another dilemma is that the same radioreceiver used tolisten for collared wolf signals also runs the guard box, and the receiver can be

County Commissioner Susan Roberts said the county expended $43,500 on range riders in a less than a year. ''We got the money in April last year, and the money had to be spent or allocated by the end of January," Roberts said.

She said the state requires the county to spend 30 percent of its grant money on non-lethal deterrents. Last year Wallowa County spent50 percent ofitsbudgeton such deterrents — most of it on range riders.

The biggest concern is that guard boxes work only if a collared wolf is in its vicinity. Not every pack has a coll ared member, and atm osta pack has two collared wolves. To add insult to injury, the state has lostseveralcollarswhen thewolves dispersedout ofthestate.

Collar information is also critical to the range riders. Otherwise it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

'The range riderproves effective in preventing interaction when the pack is collared and we have some idea where they are," Roberts said.

Otherwise the riders are looking for wolf signs. They report what they see with a camera that

stamps each photo with a GPS point, date and time. That information, as well as collar signals received,are reported to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, landowners and public land grazing permittees in the area.

James Henry of DECAArchitecture of Portland, which is doing the design work for bond projects, noted that the auditorium will become more userfriendly for community organizations putting on shows there. One reason is that the lights and sound system will be simplertouse.

"It will be much easier to put on performances," Henry said.

Renovation of the LHS gym, which is about 100 feet from the auditorium, will include replacing its aging bleachers and floor. The new bleachers will have railings and other features that will make them easier to use for senior citizens and those with mobility issues. ''We get requests from seniors for bleachersthat are more accessible," Glaze said.

The floor now runs north-south; it will be reposi tioned torun east-west.Bleachers will run along both sides of the floor and behind both basketball backboards. ''We will create an arena setting," Henry said.

Original plans called for gym renovation work to start this summer. The school board on Wednesday decided, by consensus, to recommend work on the gym be delayed until the spring of 2016.Cost isoneofthereasons forthe delay. CM Co. representatives told the board it would be diKcult to get many companiesto bid on projectsforgym work this close to the summer.

$329 million, Tidwell said.

Overall, the Forest Service responded to 52,000 fires in 2014, he said.

"The system is essentially broken," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who sits on the committee, said during Thursday's hearing. Wyden has introduced legislation, co-written with Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, that would create the framework described by Tidwell. The plan hopes to end "fire borrowing," when U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Managementraid other programs' accounts within the agencies when fire-suppression funds run out during increasingly intense fire seasons.

'You all don't get enough resources in order to deal with prevention, then you have a situation where it gets hotter and drier, and you get a lightning strike and all of a sudden you have an inferno on your hands. In effect the prevention fund is asked to put up the money to put the fire out, and the problem gets worse because you've shorted prevention,"Wyden told Tidwell.

"From acostperspective,itwould be better to wait until next year," Crookston said.

Glazesaid another advantage to waiting until the spring of 2016 to start the gym work is that it would prevent the LHS basketball and volleyball seasons from being interfered with.

Nearly $4,000 will go toward reimbursement for direct losses. More than $33,000 will be paid out to ranchers with above average losses, and $40,000 will go toward range riders, who spend their time canvassing the county looking for scat and wolf prints, and listening to receivers to detect signs of wolves that are collared.

La Grande junior Bryce Ebel won a pair of individual state titles at the 4A/3A/2A/1A state meet last weekend in the 50-yard freestyle race and the 100 butterfly.

• La Grande junior rips off pair of state titles, leads Tigers to second place

By Josh Benham The Observer

Bryce Ebel first began participating in swimming when he was 7 years old. He said, at first, it felt more like a chore than a good time.

But a funny thing happened five years later. ''When I turned about 12 yearsold Istarted getting fast," Ebelsaid.

Ebel hasn't slowed down since.

The La Grande swimmer put the finishing touches on an already superb season with a fantastic encore to cap the winter campaign by becoming a two-time state champion at the 4A/3A/2A/1A state swim meet in Gresham Feb. 20

and 21.

His pair offirst-place showings helped the Tigers finish in second place with 46 points behind first-place Catlin Gabel.

"It was incredible," Ebel saidofthe boys'placing.

"This is the best the guys' team has done in awhile. Everyone was awesome during the whole season."

The junior won the 50-yard freestylerace with a tim eof 22.45 seconds, edging out the runner-up by 0.17 seconds.

There was no photo-finish for his second title, though.

Ebel blistered the field in the 100 butterfly with a time of 50.86, nearly two seconds faster than his preliminary race and 3.76 seconds in frontofthe second-place swimmer. To put that in perspecti ve,the nextbiggest time disparity between the top six swimmers was 1.11 seconds, with the smallest being 0.03 seconds.

NBApioneer dies The Associated Press

Earl Lloyd was a player and coach, an NBA champion and later a Hall of Famer.

Within the basketball world, he's something much bigger.

He was a pioneer.

Lloyd, the first black player in NBA history, died Thursday at 86. West Virginia State, his alma mater, confirmed the death but did not provide details.

'The NBA family has lost one of its patriarchs," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement."Earl Lloyd, the first AfricanAmerican to play in an NBA game,was as inspirational as he was understated. He was known as a modest gentleman who playedthe game with skill, class, and pride.

His legacy survives in the league he helped integrate, and the entire NBA family will strive to always honor his memory."

Lloyd made his NBA debut in 1950 for the Washington Capitals, just before black players Sweetwater Clifton

and Chuck Cooper played

their first games.

Lloyd helped the Syracuse Nationals win the 1955 NBA title, joining teammate Jim Tucker as the first black players to play on a championship team. Lloyd later became the first black assistant coach with the Detroit Pistons in 1968.

The National Basketball Retired Players Association said Lloyd"forever changed the game ofbasketball" on Halloween night in 1950. The organization hailed him as "a leader, a pioneer, a soldier."

Lloyd missed the 1951-52 season while in the Army.

"Modest and willing to share his story with anyone when asked, Earl offered a vivid window into our nation'ssegregated past and personified change in this country," the NBRPA said."A truly historic figure in American history has passed."

The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 8.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in 560 regular-season games in nine seasons with Washington, Syracuse and Detroit.

Beyond that, RickmanJohansen wants her team to play with the same outlook that got them to this point.

"Bonanza is here for a reason. They're one of the top-16 teams in the state," she said. aWe have a mindset that it's one game at a time. We'll stayin the here and now, and never overlook a team and never be overconfident."

The tension gets ramped up at this point of the year, but Union's coach just wants her players, especially the seniors, to savortheopportunity Saturday.

"Thisisthe bestpartof the year," Rickman-Johansen said."This is what you play for. You show up in the rain, snow and cold for almost four months, every day to practice to get better, just for this. I want my seniors to enjoy the moment and to really remember it."

"The senior class is a big class, and this is something they have dreamed about since they were little girls," Rickman-Johansen said.

"The advantage these seniors have is experience in the playoffs, which is huge, and will help them maintain composure. We also have I'juniorl Elly Wells with three yearsofstate experience,and isophomorel Delanie Kohr, who played state games last year."

PowderValley's Sam Kerns goes up for a transition bucket Wednesday against Dufur.

BADGERS Continued from Page 8A Feik chipped in six points and three steals. The Badgers had 29 team rebounds, with many coming in the second half to finish the victory.

"Rebounding was really big,"Amanda Feik said. aWithout that we wouldn't have won."

Powder Valley's win set up a second-round meeting at Condon/WheelerSaturday, with the winner earning a trip to the state tournament.

The Badgers used a 10-0 first-half run to take a 10-4 lead in the second quarter, and behind Kerns' eight firsthalf points, Powder Valley went into halfbme with an 18-12 lead.

"Sam is just an aggressive player," Bingham said."She just looks for opportunities and takes them. For a freshman, that's something you can't coach. It's just something she has."

With the Badgers up 23-15, Dufur began to battle back with some full-court pressure. The Rangers' Hannah Harris scored offa steal, and Aimeelyn Miller hit a runner to cut the lead to 2319 midway through the third quarter. After four straight Dufur free throws, Stephens found Kerns for the full-court

heave and stopped the Dufur momentum.

"I think we really struggled the last few games coming out in the third quarter, and tonight we did make some mistakes," Powder Valley's Sally Mary Blair said.

"But we pulled through and started playing a lot better in the fourth."

Up by two at the start of the final period, Powder Valley's Taylor Martin scored inside, and Kerns found Amanda Feik in transition after a steal to go up 31-25.

Following Miller's free throw that made the score 33-30, the Badgers put the game away starling at the 6:30 mark.

Kerns converted a 3-point play, and Amanda Feik scoredoffa putback ofher own miss to go up seven.

After a Badgers' free throw, Hallie Feik sliced into the lanefor a score to putthe Badgers up 40-30 with 3:15 remaining.

M artin scored offan offensive rebound, and Hallie Feik's 3-point play offher own steal pushed the lead to 15 and sealed the win.

"I don't think iDufurl could handle this full-court man defense," Bingham said.

"Dufur is huge, but we felt like our guard play out at the middle of the court was going to be a good thing for us, and it was."

Vehicle dependability ranking

Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — Lexus, Buick, Toyota and Cadillac capturedthe top fourspots in J.D. Power and Associates' annual vehicle dependability study, which measures owner-reported problems in three-yearold vehicles.

Breaking down the results by segment, General Motors and Toyota each received seven"best in segment" awards. All four GM brands finished above the industry average of 147 problems per 100vehicles.Complete results can be found at www. jdpower.com/dependabil ity.

Ford's luxury brand Lincoln ranked 7th with 118 problems per 100, but Ford brand slipped to 25th &om 17th in 2014 with 188 problems per hundred.

Of Fiat Chrysler's brands Ram ranked the highest (14th) up fiom 25th in 2014. Chrysler brand held steady at 23rd, Dodge ranked 27th, Jeep was 29th and Fiat was 31st.

This was the second dayin a row that GM received high marks from an independent firm measuring consumers' perceptions. Tuesday, Buick became the first domestic car brand in three years to crack the top 10 on Consumer Reports annual report card.

In the J.D. Power study, which focused on consumer satisfaction with 2012 models, all four GM brands ranked above theindustryaverage lastyear, justasthey didlastyear.

VVesCom News Service

JOSEPH — The backcountry possibilities are infinite in the remote Wallowa Mountains and partnerships the U.S. Forest Service and volunteer groups make the Wallowa-Whitm an National Forestaveritable paradisefor snow sports.

Sweyn Wall works in recreation at the forest's Wallowa Mountains Office. He said it takes a partnership to manage the hundreds of miles of trails. On the north end of the forest the Wallowa County Gamblers Snowmobile Club maintains and grooms a system of 200 miles of trail. On the south side of the Eagle Caps the Snowdrifters maintainCatherine Creek and Ladd Canyon and the Panhandlers Club grooms trails out of Halfway.

Dave McConathy, a member of the Gamblers, said he and a handful of others maintain the roads from Salt Creek to Ollokot and as far as the Hells Canyon Overlook. Riders have many options between out and back routes and loops. ''We try to groom five days a week if conditions warrant," McConathy said.

Cutting trees out of the trail takes up a lot of time as well. McConathy said what they like to do is have a snowmobile rider in front, stopping to cut blown down trees out of the way, with a snow cat driver following behind to groom. The cat, owned by the Oregon State

THE NEXT RIDE

The weather has been sort of odd lately. I'm pretty sure that we hit 60 degrees at least once in February. This may be a very sad thing for those who like to play in the snow, for the sunorientedcrowd itmay be cause forcelebration, or so the conventional wisdom would suggest.

But Eastern Oregon is not conventional, and here's the thing that is amazing about our wonderful little part of the world — you can do almost everything right now. Some specific ideas for each weather preference could include:

everything right also means that our ski season will hang tough well into spring.

Which brings me to the backcountry.

You are likely to be able to strap on the skins, march in to the peaks and track down the corn long after Anthony closesitsdoorsfor the season in April, and that applies to snowshoes as well.

Forgive me for preaching to the choir here,but this season isfar from over.

Trail

Alkali Canyon. It is organized with a main trail traveling both sides of the drainage and addition mileage available via the loops that link into it. This type of trail design can be easily adapted to match the time allotment and fitness level of the rider. The lack of rocks, copious amounts of smooth surface, flowing curves and pastoral scenery are very conduciveto both beginner and expertriders.

A great basic ride on this trail system is about 11 miles long and starts on the west side ofAlkali Canyon traveling south on Loop A and Shayne's then connecting with loops B, D and Shelly's Trail. Loop A starts out gradually following the contours of the hillside gaining and losing elevation with delightfully banked corners, boardwalks and monstrous sagebrush.

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

Right now the Mt. Emily Recreation Area iMERAl is fully open with dozens of trail miles for bikes and ATVs. It's also dried out, so it may well be the besttime to getup there before another round of snow or rain swings through, in which case you might even be able to switch over to the cross country skis again.

And of course you can always go for a hike anywhere you please! If you want to be able to follow it through the bestapproach isto check elevation and snow levels, weather, etc. You don't want the snow moving in on you after postholing your way to top of China Cap.

WINTER Continued ~om Page1C "Without them we would not have the breadth of opportunities that we have,"

Wall said.

Twice a year, in early December and again in late February, the district'srecreation staff meets with both motorized and non-motorized winter recreation enthusiasts, he said. ''We'vebeen fortunateto have the winter partners we have,"Wall said."Sitting at the table with different recreationists is what's helped."

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

From good communication come good projects.

Wall said the Gamblers volunteereed to install signs at junctions to keep snowmobile riders from getting lost. ''We purchased the numbering and theyinstalled them,"

Wall said.

Dustin James said there's been a snowmobile club in Wallowa County since the 1960s, originally called the Whiskey Bandits.

Dedicated to good trail maintenance, members of the club helped build the Salt Creekhut,and they volunteer forsearch and rescue missions throughout the Wallowas.

Last February McConathy helped rescue skiers trapped in an avalanche out of Cornucopia in Baker County.

Two skiers died in that accident.

Wall said the only assistancethevolunteersreceive is fuel reimbursement to get back and forth to Salt Creek Summit where the trails begin. McConathy said most of the club's members donate that money back for the snow cat's upkeep.

The machine puts in a lot of miles. Most of the riding is on Forest Service roads with the Wallowa Mountain

BVlBIl WOI' • Birds will fake broken wings to lure possibl epredatorsaway from nests

By Damian Fagan Forvvescom News service

KILLDEER Scientific name Charandrius vociferus

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

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

Breeding

attainable for a beginning to intermediate mountain bike rider. The final bermed corners into the parking lot will leave a smile on a riders face.

As you leave Echo visit Sno Road Winery on Main Street and let your pleasure and thanks be known.

If you are interested in mountain bike racing or just a great dayin Echo be sure to check out this year's Echo

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

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

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

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

Bird facts Early-season migrants, the first ones are usually observed in Central and Northeastern Oregon in February. The common name comes from the bird's call 'kill-dee!N or'kill-deer."

Early naturalists called them the noisy plover or chattering plover. The species name vociferous means "very loud voiced," which aptly applies to these birds.

When danger threatens a nest site, the adult stretches out one wing and pretends to have a broken wing, thus luring the intruder away from the nest.

If the intruder is a cow or horse, the killdeer fluffs up itsfeathers and spreadsits tail feathers up high behind its back and charges at the animal in an attempt to keep it away from the nest.

The birds may also bob up and down before running away a short distance.

Before mating, the adults engage in a"scrape ceremony," where the male lays down in a small depression or scrape, and digs with his feet. The female approaches, and then she sits in the scrape while the male stands nearby with his tail spread out, and calling rapidly.

Callforstudvtosettleifanesthesiaposesrisktoiiaiiies

By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Studies of baby animals have long suggested that going under anesthesia can have some harmful effects on a developing brain. Now some scientists want to find out whether those same drugs may pose subtle risks for human babies and toddlers.

It'sa balancing act:Doctorsdon't want to unnecessarily fiighten parents whose tots need generalanesthesiafor crucialsurgery.

There's no clearevidence ofside effects, such as learning or attention impairment, in youngsters.

Wednesday, an anesthesia research group, partnered with the Food and Drug Administration, saidit'stim efor a large study of children younger than 3 to settle the question.

Meanwhile, "surgeons, anesthesiologists and parentsshould consider carefully how urgently surgery

"Surgeons, anesthesiologists and parents should consider

care fully how urgently surgery is needed,particularly in children under 3yearsfoage."

— Report in The New England Joumal of Medicine

is needed, particularly in children under 3 years of age," concluded a reportin TheNew England Journal of Medicine co-authored by the FDA's current and former anesthesia chiefs along with doctors in the SmartTots research partnership.

Already, in the vast majority of cases, children that young only undergo surgery if it is medically necessary, not elective. Some operations, such astocorrectbirth defects, have better outcomes at earlier ages,surgeons recently told the FDA. "Millions of kids safely undergo anesthesia," stressed SmartTots co-

author Dr. Beverley Orser, a professor of anesthesia at the University of Toronto.

Those drugs have been used for decades so any big risk would have been spotted by now, she said. But with animal studies raising the possibility of subtle effects on behavior or learning, "we have to sort this out," Orser added.

At issue are drugs used for general anesthesia and sedation,notlocal anesthetics. Questions began years ago whenexperimentsin newborn rats showed such drugs could kill certain brain cells. The FDA formed a partnership with the International Anesthesia Research Society, called SmartTots, to better study the issue. In 2012, SmartTots, the FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a public caution about the uncertainty.

Wednesday's report says studies in a range of species, including baby monkeys, have found similar

neurotoxic e%cts. Do they have lasting consequences? In some cases, the animals showed later impairments in memory and attention. Importantly, the cumulative dose mattered.

That doesn't automatically translate to risk for humans. A few studies have tracked youngsters who underwent anesthesia earlier in life. Some haven't found problems, but one found those who received anesthesia multiple times had a higher risk of learning disabilities.

Yet those kinds of studies can't tell ifany problem was due to a drug, the stressofsurgery orthe original medical condition, Orser noted.

The proposed next step: A large, multihospital study that would assign youngsters now undergoing surgery to diferent kinds of anesthesia, and compare their outcomes.

What's the message for parents?

Occasionally, some ask about this issue, and doctors must help them weigh an unknown risk with

the fact that"your child needs to have surgery, and they do need an anesthetic," said Dr. Allison Kinder Ross, chiefofpediatric anesthesia at Duke University Medical Center, who wasn't involved with Wednesday's report.

But anesthesia is used with some nonsurgical procedures, too, such as to keep tots still during MRI scans — and Rosssaid that'san area to try alternatives. For example, Duke has had parents or nurses crawl inside scanners to hold a child.

"Under 3 is certainly more challenging, but it's doable for a lot of kids," Ross said.

Last June, SmartTots convened doctors' groups to update itsearlier cautionary statement, and a draft now beingconsidered suggestspostponing surgeries or other medical procedures "that could reasonably be delayed" in children younger than 3. It's not clear whether that language will be adopted.

ASTHMA

Pove , race drive asthma rates up

By Meredith Cohn

Clinical Immunology.

The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — It was the day after Mother's Day in 2012 when Faith Walker ran into her East Baltimore house unable to breathe.

Her mother, Tyishia Walker, who suffers from asthma and has an older daughter with the disease, knew exactly what was wrong: Faith also had the chronic lung condition.

"I'm sure it's &om living in the city," said Tyishia Walker."We have more rats, more mice. The house is old and moldy. I believe it makes a big difference."

For the past 50 years, scientists also believed urban living led to higher rates of asthma in children. But new research fiom Johns Hopkins Children's Center disputes the notion that geography alone is a major risk factor for the disease and its telltale coughing, wheezing and breathlessness.

Up to 20 percent of children in Baltimore City have asthma, compared with the national average of 9.4 percent, according to government data. There are, however, pockets around the country in suburban and rural areas where the prevalence of asthma is just as high, according to the study, recently published in the JournalofAllergy and

Income, race links The common links among 23,000 patient records reviewed from around the country appeared to be race, ethnicity and income, said Dr. Corinne Keet, a pediatric allergy and asthma specialist at Hopkins and the study'slead investigator.

Public health advocates say the information could impact how health departm ents lal ocateresources in suburban and rural areas, ensuring that at-risk kids outsideofcitiesare screened and treated.

Key risk factors for asthma include roach and other pestallergens,indoorsmoke, air pollution and premature births, but such issues are not exclusive to cities. Poor peopledon'tnecessarily escape poverty by moving out of inner cities, and those who are African-American or Puerto Rican, specifically, don't escape the genes that may be at play.

Nationally, about 17 percent ofblack children and 20 percent of Puerto Rican children have asthma, compared with 10 percent of white children and 8 percent of Asian children, government data show. ''When we did the study we were expecting the prevalence to be higher in inner cities," Keet said.

From rural Eastern Oregon to Portland, Eugene and Ashland, gardening has always been awayoflife, butin the lastdecade more and more peopleraise their own chickens, primarily for eggs,

''When we looked more closely at poor areas in cities and poorareas notin cities, we found there wasn't a big difference."

Keet said more study is needed, but already some policy expertsand doctors say the research may help public health officials in directingresources outside of urban areas.

Potential funding impacts "The implications are clear," said Dr. Cary Sennett, president and CEO of the advocacy group Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America."Asthma is not a disease of the inner city, but affects children everywhere and, disproportionately, those who are living in poverty. In the wealthiest country in the world, we have much to do to address the problem of asthma in those who are most vulnerable — wherever they live."

Poor families not only deal with more cases of asthma, he said, butmore severe episodes because they are less able to afford interventions such as home assessments and remediationof"triggers," such as mold, insect and rodent feces, and others.

State data show that many poor Alrican-American children in Baltimore do havepoorly controlled asthma. They have the highest rates of emergency

She is the medical director of the Breathmobile, which has been providing &ee care to high-risk Baltimore kids since 2002.

"This study shows that we need to not only continue to provideeffective preventive care to the high-risk children in Baltimore City, but further study the need to expandtheseservicesto other communities as well," Bollinger said.

The Hopkins researchers did not assess which cases were more severe, though they plan to study that next.

Another ongoing Hopkins study is assessing if home allergen management, specifically control of mice and theirdroppings,im proves asthma symptoms in children. Mice are considered a toptrigger ofattacks.

Spencer Baty, 11, has a skin patch applied to his back to help desensitize him to peanuts.

PEANUT cess. He wetn from having an allergic reaction to as little as one-tenth of a peanut to having a reaction only when exposed to 10 peanuts — or more.

That could mean the difference between having — or avoiding — a potentially fatal reaction, said Lisa Geschke Sawyer, a spokeswoman for the Seattle Food Allergy Consortium, or SeaFAC, which works to bring allergy-related clinical trials to Seattle.

'Your biggestfearisto get something with a little bit of ian allergen) in it," said Sawyer, whose own son is allergic to cashews and pistachios.

"It's a big deal to have this here now."

The double-blind trial included221 participants ages 6 to 55 — 113 of them under age 12 and 73 ages 12 to 17at sites in the U.S., Canada, France, the Netherlands and Poland. They were tested to see how much peanut protein it took to elicit a reaction, and then asked to wear adhesive patches infused with dosesof 50,100or 250 micrograms of peanut protein. Atter a year theywere tested again to see iftheirreaction thresholds were higher.

The 250-microgram patch, the highest dose, was the most effective, according to the study led by Dr. Hugh Sampson,aprofessorofpediatric allergy and immunity at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In children ages 6 to 11, more than 53 percent re-

sponded to the infused patch, versus less than 20 percent who responded to a placebo.

Significantly, none of the participants required epinephrine injections to stop allergic reactions, indicating that the patch is safe, Tilles said.

The results are encouraging, said Dr. James Baker, chief executive of Food Allergy Research & Education, or FARE, an advocacy group.

About 15 million people in the U.S. have food allergies, and the rate of peanut allergies among children tripled between 1997 and 2008, accordingto the Centersfor Disease Control and Prevention.

"It is a crucial time to accelerate thedevelopment of new therapeutics," Baker sald.

The next step is a Phase III clinical trial, the final hurdle before submitting the productforconsideration by the federal Food and Drug Administration. If all goes well, the product could be available in 2018, Tilles said.

The recent Phase IIb trial lasted a year, but Spencer's father, David Baty, 53, said the boy was accepted into a two-year extended program in which he'll continue applying the peanut patches to his backeveryday.Thefamily would have participated in the trial simply in the interestofadvancing science,but the benefit for Spencer has been remarkable, the Batys sald.

"I like having the bit of cushion that I have," Spencer said."If I eat something, it's not the end of the world."

Rebecca Fincher and her husband Bill of Johns Creek, Georgia, were among the first to share a story about the daily struggles of raising a special needs child.

"It's like scheduling around a newborn or toddler that never grows up," said Rebecca Fincher.'You have to plan and act on the needs of that person 24 hours a day."

At 22, John Fincher is the youngest of the couple's three children. Last October, he aged out ofhigh school without funding for a Medicaid waiver but was recently granted one. Without it, Fincher said he wouldn't have muchofa future and neither would she.

Fincher feels luckier than most, but her personal and

professional life have suffered.

"I'd love to work on a habitat house routinely work out at the Y, travel with my husband but even a trip to the grocery store has to be scheduled and planned for," she said.

The public rarely sees the demands caregivers face, Sass said. They don't see them feeding them, bathing them, liNng them.

'That's part of the personal story that they don't share," she said."I hope the photo essays I have created will provide a better understanding of the unique challenges people with developmental disabilities and their families experience in their daily lives and whyfunding forsupport is critical."

Teens' lack of sleep increaseshealth risks

Wallowa County Caregivers meet regularly

A recent study indicates teens aren't sleeping as much as they need to. Those14 to17 need about i eight to 10 hours of sleep each night, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Without enough sleep, risk increases for things like substance abuse, weight gain, mental health issues and trouble in school.

Parents can help by encouraging teens to get homework done before bedtime, discouraging caffeine use later in the day and reminding their teens to try to go to bed at the same time each night.

Wallowa County Caregivers, a recently formed free support group for anyone caring for a loved one, meets twice a month in theWallowa Memorial Hospital's conference room.

The confidential meetings take place at 3 p.m. on the first and thirdTuesday of the month.

"Come as you are. Stay as long as you can," organizers of the group said.
