ELGIN — School bells do not ring in this classroom, but train whistles can be heard instead.

W elcome to atemporary satellite of Elgin High School's campus, a site where students have an unconventional assignment — help build a 1,600-square foot, three-bedroom home.

Students in EHS's construction classes started building the house in the fall. The foundation of the home being built, which is two blocks west of the school, is now in placeand framing work started Monday.

Matt Adams, EHS's construction class teacher, is impressed with the job his students are doing and their attitude.

Barricades surround the old Shelter From the Storm building as its demolition draws near. While some are sorry to see the building be torn down, others look at it as a new day in whathas been a long strugglefora new Union County Courthouse.

Mike Becker General Contractor of La Grande has started its preliminary work on the building, which is slated to come down first thing Thursday, said Jared Teeter, project manager with Becker. uBecker Construction has a plan still in review with the planning department, with some minor adjustments needed," McClure said.'They'redoing prep work rightnow."

The Shelter From the Storm building, which was built with a Community Development Block Grant in 1998, has to be torn down in order to build a new county courthouse.

La Grande senior Avery Stanton (2), vvho served as one of the girls soccer team's captains this past fall, recently inked a letter of intent to play for North Idaho College.

• La Grande's Avery Stanton joining pair of former Tigers on North Idaho College team

By Josh Benham The Observer

Avery Stanton knew almost instantly when she took a trip to North Idaho College it was the place for her. ''When I went to visit, it just felt right," she said.

It also didn't hurt that she's joining a pair of former teammates on the soccer field.

The La Grande High School senior recently signed a national letter of intent to compete for the Cardinals women's soccer program.

"It feels amazing," Stanton said of signing."It feels like a huge accomplishment, and just looking back on all the injuries and everything I went through, it showed that the

hard work has paid ofF." Stanton split time between midfiel der and forward during her senior season for La Grande, and says her coach at North Idaho indicated she'd be in an attacking role in her &eshman year of college.

That versatility is something she felt pushed her over the edge in catching the eyes of the Cardinals' coaches.

"It definitely helps when a coach is recruiting you and they see a player that can play difFerent roles," Stanton said."It shows I'm not just a one-trick pony."

Coeur d'Alene, where North Idaho is located, is just less than 300 miles away, but having a couple of &iends there will definitely smooth that transition.

2014 La Grande graduates Haley White and Jasmine Smith were &eshmen on the soccer team this

past fall. That aspect played a big role in Stanton choosing the Cardinals aker she initially reached out to the North Idaho coaches.

"Ultimately it came down to location and the fact I can have &iends there," Stanton said.uWith them already on the team, it gained some credibility for me and showed the coaches La Grande has a great program."

Stanton said she'll leave around Aug. 10. While she knows there will be moments ofhomesickness, she's looking forward to the new adventure and the fact it's already feeling like a second home.

"La Grande soccer has given me a lot of amazing years," she said.

"I'm thankful for all the coaches and people who have helped me.

I'd say that I'm more excited to leave than sad to go. I'm ready to be grown up and experience something new."

One person who has worked with her closely is La Grande head coach Sam Brown. He knows the Cardinals are gaining a well-rounded person, on and ofFthe field.

Pendleton's Caden Smith hit a tiebreaking three-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning, which proved to be the difFerence as the Buckaroos outlasted La Grande 8-6 Tuesday in a nonleague baseball matchup at Pendleton.

"We didn't come out on the right side of the game,"Tigers head coach Parker McKinley said."We didn't losethe game, we gotbeat."

With the bases loaded and two outs, Smith lofled a Jon Gonzalez pitch into the outfield, which the wind carried to the base of the wall, allowingallthreerunners to score.

Drew Hively hit a two-out solo home run in the top of the seventh to draw the Tigers to within 8-6, but the rally fell short.

Despite the loss, which was the fourth in a row for La Grande, McKinley said the team played a m uch cleaner game than ithad recently and is moving in the right direction.

'The last three losses were pretty disheartening, in that we didn't compete well,"he said.'"Ibday we competed well against a quality opponent. The wins will start to come.

I'm not overly concerned with where we are at record-wise."

Chris Leavitt said his five years of teaching experience at La Grande High School doesn't compare to those teachers who have a longer tenure than him.

Nevertheless, the Union County Chamber of Commerce named the 28-year-old Educator of the Year.

Leavitt said when he graduated from high school, he really wasn't sure what he was

He jokingly said he considered working at Safeway for the rest ofhis life.

However, Leavitt decided to become a teacher because of the positive experiences he had with teachers. eWe have fantastic teachers in the valley," Leavitt said.

Leavitt went to Eastern Oregon University where the school had added music performance as a major. It had previously been ofFered only as a minor.

He wanted to work at a high school because he felt he was"best suited for high school."

"I'm better equipped to work with the high school students," he said.

Leavitt now splits up his time between La

He envisions himself working at the collegiate level some day but feels good about where he's at.

K s program has been growing steadily.

He took over for Jim Howell, who was one of Leavitt's mentors when he was in school.

Two years ago, Leavitt had 160 students in the program. Now, he has nearly 200.

'The way Jim did things meant a lot to me when I was a student," Leavitt said."I wanted to continue that. When you teach, you do what works. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. I experienced the program myself and it works."

Leavitt said one of the reasons students drop out ofband is because they don't understand the instrument. eWe want to make it so music theory isn't so scary,"he said."We want them to have a proficiency in music. We want them to be independent musicians, to see sheet music

Leavitt said just because someone doesn't do well in band doesn't mean they should quit entirely. He said some students have moved into choir and had better success.

Another thing Leavitt wants to make sure his students learn is that their extracumcular activities don't have to compete with music.

"We don't want them to have to make a choice," Leavitt said. If the students are given a schedule of their games, they're expected to let Leavitt know so they can be excused from any kind of competition that may conflict.

' olden irls'housing modelinsyirationalfor seniors

By Pamela Yip The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — When it comes to aging gracefully, most people prefer to do that in the comfort and familiarity of their homes.

And hopefully not alone.

Social isolation is a killer for seniors — physically and emotionally.

To alleviate loneliness and financial pressures, a gmwingnumber of seniors are settinguphouseholds together in the model of the popular 'Golden Girls"television series in which four older women share ahome.

'There's a growing interest in this discussion, and this is being looked and considered as much more of a possibility for baby boomers, particularly as they age," said Sandy Markwood, chief executive of the NationalAssociation ofArea

Agencies on Aging.

That's not surprising.

"One of the major issues as people grow older is loneliness, especially if you end up single for whatever reason," said Bonnie Moore, founder of the Golden Girls Network, a national electronic database that helpsolderwomen and men fi nd housemates.'There are more and more single older people, so the idea ofliving alone just does not appeal to people. If you do live alone, you become depressed more easily."

Moore, who lives in Bowie, Maryland, got the idea for the Golden Girls Network after she and her husband split up. She had remodeled her home and was left with a m ortgage she couldn'tafford.

On top of that, the 2008 recession hit and she lost equity. She started looking for roommates and found &iends.

"Even the short time I was liv-

ing in my house alone, I hated it because I just don't want to live alone," Moore said.

Financial concerns are also a major reason seniors are setting up house together.

"Many of the people who are now starting to retire have sufFered &om the recession of 2008,"Moore said.

'Vou have peoplewho thought they had a lot of equityin their homes and the housing market fell. Many people lost their homes.... People lost

moneyin their 401(k)s, people lost their jobs, so all these things are now starting to impact their retirement."

After Evelyn Black's husband died in 2004, she lived in their four-bedroom home in Denton all by herself.

"I wasn't a&aid, but it was just lonely," said Black, 81."I thought about (renting to) a student and well, you never know."

It turned out that her &iend, Emily Mae StafFord, 80, was going to give up her lease and look for another place to live.

"It occurred to me, well, I have room," Black said.

Stafford moved in 2007 and now pays Black rent. They share expenses for utilities, yard maintenanceand a maid. They buy their own groceries but often have dinner together and watch the news.

"It has helped me tremendously financially," Black said."My income is now the same as it was before my

"We have a good time together."

ELGIN — The Espresso Wagon CofFeeCo. at 790 Division St. had a soR opening Friday and Saturday to introduce its food and beverage service to the community.

Owner LindaJuniper of Elgin purchased the 27.5foot by 120-foot commercial property &om Earnest Parsons of Elgin in mid-February. It adjoins the Fountain Park and includes an espresso stand, cement patio for outdoor grilling and a large, park-like area, which in past years has been used unofficially as an extension to the Fountain Park.

Juniper has spent the last six weeks cleaning, remodeling and furnishing the espresso stand for cooking, baking and food service. Her step daughter, Leah Juniper, 27, will operate the business.

"We took a lot of stufFout ofhere," said Linda Juniper, "and weputin new floors,a sink, new plumbing, a new toilet, and a storage cabinet with a new counter top. We also bought a Nuova Simonelli espresso machine."

'Vou can call in your orders and carry out or eat them right here at the park," said Juniper."Our hope is to ofFer real Chinese and real Mexican foods as we progress in the future."

The Espresso Wagon is certified to cook outside on a grill, so Juniper plans to put an awning up over the patio area adjoining the stand and do some commercial grillmg this summer. eWe also have a certified

Juniper said that she wants to use the property's large park area to hold a farmers' market. She hopes to have this available to the communityseven days a week starting in June. She also wants to hold a harvest fair the first week in September.

That's why this property will be an alcoholand drug-&ee, safe zone for

To the north, at smaller Lake Mendocino, storageisnearly 65,000acre feet, or 79 percent of water supply capacity.

Last year at this time, it was at roughly 47 percent, according tostate records.

The improvedstorage outlookis expected toprovide some cushion — for drinking water,6uming andrecreationaluses — but it'simportant to remember thatthe benchmark this spring follows two exceptionally dryyears,water officials said.

"It's better than last year, but last year was very, very bad," Jasperse said.

"We basically bought ourselves six months ofbreathing room," Don McEnhill, director of the group Russian Riverkeeper, said of the few good winter storms — what meteorologists now call "atmospheric river events."

"We'll probably get through the summer," said McEnhill, a veteran waterman who spends many hours paddling boats on the Russian River.

LAUSANIK, Switzerland — The U.S. and five other world powers extended talks with Iran for at least another day Tuesday as negotiators sought agreement on key elements of a deal to curb that country's nuclear program.

"We've made enough progress in the last days to merit staying until Wednesday.

There are several difFtcult issues still remaining," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters here late Tuesday.

The statementcame afler a dayofmixedsignahasnegoliators initiallysaid that an announcementwouldbe made in advance ofa self-imposed midnightTuesdaydeadline,then su@estedthat talks might have hita snag, onlyto endby announcing an extension.

In six days of intense highlevel talks, the negotiators have been able to avoid a breakdown that would have imperiled an 18-month efFort to reach a dealcurbing Iran's nuclear activities. But they have not reached agreement on some key issues.

Earlier in the day, U.S. officials issued a statement taking a tough tone, saying negotiators might not com-

Uranium enrichment has been a major topicin the U.S.-lran nuclear negotiations. Over the past weeks, Iran has agreed to cut from nearly 10,000 to 6,000 centrifuges enriching uranium.

Tehran saysit wants to enrich only for energy, science, industry and medicine. But many fear Iran could use the technology to make weapons-grade uranium.
