SALEM — With Oregon Democrats moving forward on a bill to require background checks for private gun sales, the potential political backlash is becoming apparent. Gun rights advocates last week filed petitions to recall three Democratic lawmakers who sponsored the legislation, and they say more could follow. It's not yet clear whether deep-pocketedgun interests such as the National Rifle Association will get involved and raisea seriousthreat to the targeted lawmakers. The state Senate voted last week to require background checks on any person-to-person gun sale not involving relatives. The recallmove puts pressure on Democrats as the billaw aits a hearing in the House, which could come as soon as SeeRecall / Page 5A

More than 40 beavers were spotted along Catherine Creek outside of Union over the weekend. A riverengineering classof 46 students from Oregon State University traveled to Union for the opportunity to put what they've learned in the classroom intopractice. Desiree Tullos, OSU professor ofbiological and ecological engi-

neering, brought her class to Hall Ranch, which is owned by OSU and located southeast of Union, and presented them the problem needing to be solved. Along Medical Springs Highway, Catherine Creek has diverted itself and is now eroding the highway, said student Elsie Weisshaar. The students'job is to figure out what can be done to save the roadway without hindering the wildlife and the creek. "The class takes a lot of the

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, leased by BP, killed 11 workers and caused a blow-out that began spewing an estimated 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico.

ON THIS DATE In 1861, Col. Robert E. Lee resigned his commission in the United States Army. (Lee went on to command the Army of Northern Virginia, and eventually became general-in-chief of the Confederate forces.) In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed a proclamation admitting West Virginia to the Union, effective in 60 days (on June 20, 1863). In 1945, during World War II, allied forces took control of the German cities of Nuremberg and Stuttgart. In 1972, Apollo 16's lunar module, carrying astronauts John W.Young and Charles M. Duke Jr., landed on the moon.

The women were attending the 12th annual meeting of Impact100,an organization composed oflocal women that has become one of the leading charitable organizations in Union County. The 50 women did what they do best Wednesdayextend hands of assistance to the less fortunate in Union County.

SusieHarris,a leaderof Impact100 and one ofits founders, said the opportunity to give back to the community during the annual Impact 100 meetings is an extraordinary experience. "It is my night to be Santa Claus," Harris said.

"I wanttobe clearthatI won't be intimidated away from doing what I think is right," Hoyle said. Separately, a group of constituents filed recall petitions against Rep.

Riley barely eked out a win, defeating a Republican incumbent by less than apercentagepoint last year. But he said he's not concerned about a recall over gun control, noting he campaigned on the issue. He saidhe believes his support for background checks is part of the reason he won his election. "There's no reason to think that you're going to be recalled for doing what you said you were going to do in your campaign," Riley said.

It's unclear whether the recall backers will attract largedonations or organization. The National Rifle Associationdid notrespond to a request for comment.

animals to pasture. A joint indictment charges Denton and Painter each with 11 counts of first-degree animal neglect and 34 counts of seconddegreeanimal neglect. Judge Russ West presided over the hearing Fridaymorning and addressed both of them on their release conditions. Jake Kamins, a state deputy district attorney, requested the pair notify the court when any animal is put on or taken off their Union County property and allow a veterinarian onto their Union County property with 24-hour notice once a month. The veterinarian will inspect all animals on the property and list any concerns of the well-being of the animals. Painter and Denton will have to comply with any recommendations the veterinarian has for the animals and will pay for all costs incurred. Additionally, the codefendants sell pork and lamb and will need to buy some additional animals this season, said attorney Brent Smith, who represents Painter. "The issue is that Painter sells pork, and he has to buy a new boar and

They were also approved to purchase goats per a request from Smith. 'You're in the business of raising livestock. You're not a livestock trader,"West said to Denton and Painter. He emphasized that in similar cases, many defendants arenotallowed topossess any animals at all once animals have been seized. Denton and Painter can also keep any animals of the liveborn offspring their herd produces. The Union County Sherifl"s 0$ce in late January seized more than 70 animals from their property on Behrens Lane in Summerville after a search warrant was executed. Sherifl"s officials saidatthe time that carcasses were found on the property. Accordingtoa secretindictment from a grand jury last month, each first-degree animal neglect charge reflects that between Aug. 1, 2014, and Jan. 27, the defendantsfailed toprovide minimum care for an animal, with "such failure resulting in the death of the animal."

Submitted to the Observer

Award-winning fiction writer and Eastern Oregon University alumnus Evan Morgan Williams is the first guest of the newly named Carl and Sandra Ellston Ars Poetica Reading Series. The readingstarts at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Pierce Library at EOU and is free and open to the

public. Williams will share selectionsfrom hislatestcollection of short stories, "Thorn," winner of the 2014 G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for short fiction at BkMK Press (University of MissouriKansas City). Copies of the book will be available topurchase after the reading. In the book's foreword from AlYoung, thejudge who selected "Thorn" for

the award, he writes, "The seductive beauty of these subtle, troubling fictions Cari reflect their author's dreamy, voice-drenched ",I , visions of underdog lives." Support for Sandra t h e Carl and Sandra Ellston Ars Poetica Reading Series comes from Sandra Ellston, retiredEOU professor of English and writing, who established an endowment in memory ofher husband Carl Ellston, who died in

2008. "A live reading makes the art vivid and meaningful in a way words on the page never quite can," Ellston said."To hear a writer speak

of the work and its inception and then to animate the language with personal inflection is an experience like no other. The Ellston Ars Poetica series will continue to help inspire EOU students now on through the generations." Ellston recently published a memorial to her late husband called "J. Carl Ellston of Exeter, Missouri." The book contains stories he wrote of hischildhood,circa 1930 to 1935, and documents from his life, including pages from the pocket notebook he carried when he served as a forward observer during the Korean conflict.

When blacksmith's anvils fly: April in the Grande Ronde Valley storm detector is broken. Blame April.

M yPredicting weather in April is about as

easy as knowing how much will be spent on the presidential election, with only 600 days of hot air to go. The first evidence my storm detector is broken came on an outing at Buffalo Peak Golf Course, which some call Lonely Acres. The panoramic view of the Grande Ronde Valleyrevealed severalbands ofshowers marching with reckless abandon. The closest shower, which had anger management issues, remained several miles away. I told my golf partner we had nothing to fear. Just when I started my backswing, however, Ifelta largedrop hitm y leftear.Soon more rain began to fell, with drops the size of quarters.

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN are driving a souped-up cart, all the while getting pummeled by rain that pretty much drowned any debate over drought. The second piece of evidence my storm detectorisbroken came on arecent trip toSeaside on the north Oregon coast. I had bought a kite as a birthday present for my wife, Wonder — funny how her presents all seem to be things I covet — and I was hankering to try it out on the beach. Again, showers could be seen offshore. I told Wonder we had nothing to fear. The kite soon was airborne. It began doing some dazzlingaerobatics,with no assistance from the captain, which should have been a warning that the storm was starting to act out. I let out more and more line, anyway.

Just when I had all the line out — it seemed to be about a quarter mile of string — the first raindrop fell. That's no so bad, I thought, lost in the mission to keep the kite aloft. Soon more drops fell. Then the heavens let loose with a storm cloud bombing run. Before I could reel in the kite, we were soaked to the skin. Now, for some reason, my golf partner and Wonder, too, look askance when I begin to m ake weather predictions.I've begun to realize doing so in April is a fool's mission. April weather is fickle. It's a month where all you have to do is wait five minutes for a change in the weather. The moodiest of months gives us brilliant sun one minute, hail the next. It gives us 70-degree temperatures one day, snow showers the next. Lateron our trip,when we ventured up to Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, we were

greeted by five inches of what Northwest TV anchors call "fresh powder" but what more closely resembles Cascade pre-mix. The wet, heavy concoction does make excellent snowballs and igloo foundations. Now I am back home, in glorious Northeast Oregon, the fickle weather capital of the world. One day it is 70 degrees. The next it is 37 degrees and snowing. I am keeping the kite in the closet, for fear of sunstroke or frostbite. The directions say a 5 to 15 mph wind is ideal for kite flying. They don't give an ideal temperature. Some April days, the Grande Ronde Valley cooperates. Other April days, we get wind that could pretty much launch a blacksmith's anvil. Whatever the wind, the cold, the heat, Canada geese being blown inside out, April is a month designed for short attention span theater. Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes.

This is one of the Civilian Conservation Corps camps that were in the area. The photograph, taken about1939, is of Company 3217 located just west of Elgin. The CCC, or 3 Cs as it was called, was a public work relief program designed to put men to work. They built roads, bridges, planted trees, built parks and many manual labor jobs. They came into an area, built a camp and did the jobs needed then moved on to another location. La Grande had one and there was another one at Hilgard — just to name a couple of the others in the local area. They were discontinued when WorldWar II started, but they were proved to be a bonus to the war effort because of the well trained disciplined men that left the CCC camps to join the service.

• Grande Ronde Valley automotive artist Dennis Hoyt is exhibiting nine works in Kingdom of Bahrain By Dick Mason The Observer

Dennis Hoyt, a Grande Ronde Valley automotive artist, often jump starts his day with a cup of coffee. Hoyt did not need a caffeine-fueled jump start on a late winter morning two months ago. A glance at an email did the trick, getting Hoyt's heart racing like a Ferrari at Le Mans. The email was from Hoyt's agent, Mark Hughes, who lives in Great Britain and the Middle East. Hughes said Hoyt had been invited to put on an exhibit of his works in the Kingdom of Bahrain, an island nation in the Persian Gulf, at a Formula One Gulf Air Grand Prix auto racing event this month. Hoyt said he immediately accepted the invitation atter shouting and leaping for joy. ''When a door opens, you don't think about it, you jump through it," Hoyt said.

The man related how it was also a place for youthful adventureand dreaming. On oneforaythrough thedump, he announced to his childhood fiiends that they were no longer in the City of Union, but at the place of a famous Indian jump, called Buffalo Peak. Kids have known it as such ever since. Perhaps many of our most famous names came about from a child-eye view of the world, as things could have been. So the name"Buffalo Peak" has stuck, and modern eyes can still see the silhouetted buffalo-like shoulders of solid basalt to evoke this area's past connections with famous Native American buffalo, wagon trails and settler families. Whoeverreall y named Buffalo Peak, there's no shortage ofloyalty for its modern role in Union. The trails to the Buffalo Peak golf course now amble through other historical events people can't see. Experts wanted to deal with the City of Union's wastewater needs in the 1990sand settled on a golf course as a win-win situation. Then-mayor Sue Briggs recalls sitting at Knotty Pine cafe/bar with fellow councilors from Union. The subject at hand was picking the right name for thedeveloping golf course. Some of the names might have been more memorable, but Sue also recalls with a laugh that"some of the suggestions couldn't really be printed."There was one name everyone loved."Buffalo Peak.

NASHUA, N.H — Think the Republican field is already crowded? Better find more room, because the rosterofpotentialcandidates for may grow even more. New Hampshire Republicans over the weekend heard from 18 people who are or may berunning forpresident. Two others didn't attend. It probably didn't matter, because when the forum marathon ended, no one could claim momentum. And no one could reliably say what the state primary ballot will look like. Prominent party figures barely known outside their home states areconsidering running. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich are thinking about it. Snyder loyalists have set up a fund that so he can travel and boast about hisbattered state'seconomic comeback. Ehrlich, who won the governorship in heavily Democratic Maryland, has made several visits to New Hampshire in recent months. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's prospects sank during the recent flap over Indiana's religious liberty law, but he still has fans among conservatives. Nevada Gov.

trending Democratic, has also been mentioned, though more as a potential vice presidential pick. This muddled, stillemerging field is the result of an unusual convergence of political influences. Republicans for years have given their nomination to the next in line, often a runner-up in the previouscycle ora vice president. This time,"there's no heir apparent," said Steve Duprey, the state's Republican national committeeman. There is a widespread feeling that Republicans have a good shot at winning the White House. Only once since World War II has the same party won the presidency more than twice in a row — Republicans in 1980, 1984 and 1988. So Republican activists have two broad standards for picking a candidate. They want someone reliably conservative. And,"I want a winner," said Tanja Owen, an Amherst m arketing director.It'sa sentiment echoed repeatedly. Republicans often feel they had to settlefor2008 nomineeJohn McCain and 2012 nominee Mitt Romney because they suppos-

Jeb Bush would fit the M cCain-Romney mold, and that's a drawback with some. "Gov. Bush is a wonderful person. I'm just concerned he's goingto be another Romney," said Lisa Mediano, an attorney from Fitzwilliam, N.H."I don't want the national party telling me who's going to win." Republicans have a long rosterofotherproven vote-getters acceptable to thediehard conservatives, notably governors who have won in swing states. Activists tend to like governors. 'They have that executive experience. They know how to run things," said Jane Lane, a law firm secretary from Keene.

Guadalupe Vasquez, left, was recently released from prison in El Salvador after seven years for a miscarriage. At right is Sara Garcia, an activist trying to help women likeVasquez. By Tracy Wilkinson Los Angeles Times

SAN SALVADOR —When Guadalupe Vasquez became pregnant at 17 after being raped by a neighbor of the house where she worked as a maid, she decided she wanted the baby.She even picked outaname: Gabriel. Then, on a dayin late 2007, pain shot through her back and abdomen. Vasquez says she started bleeding, but her employer wouldn't lether leavethehouseto getmedicalcare.Sick in her room and alone, she wentinto labor. The babycried briefl y,and then hewa sdead. Only then did the employer send her to the hospital, Vasquez recalls. She passed out, and when she came to, she was handcuffed to the bed ata statehospital. The rapist was free, but now it would be Vasquez who would go to prison — for seven years and three months. Vasquez is one of several women in El Salvador who have been sentenced to as long as 50 years behind bars — not for having an abortion, which is illegal in the country, but as a result of miscarriages or stillborn births. In these cases, prosecutors have accused the women of causing the death of their fetus or infant. El Salvador, along with neighboring Nicaragua and three other countries, has the strictest abortion laws in the hemisphere. Virtually no exception is allowed for the termination of pregnancy, not for rape, incest, malformed fetus or danger to the woman's life. Yet the law is being taken to another extreme: imprisoning women who say the loss of their fetus or child was not their doing. Four days after Vasquez awoke in handcuffs, she was whisked to a courtroom. After two briefhearings, she says, she received a 30-year prison sentence for homicide. "I didn't understand what was happening," said the recently freed Vasquez, who is from aruralvillageand never made itpastthird grade. A court-appointed attorney"barely spoke to me. He didn't defend me in anything."

Salvadoran activists who have taken up the cause of Vasquez and other women have identified 17 similar cases and believe there are atleast15m ore such prisoners. The Salvadoran Citizens' Coalition for the Decriminalization of Abortion offers even bleakerstatistics:129 women prosecuted between2000 and 2011 for"abortion" crimes, 23 convicted for having received an illegal abortionand 26 convicted ofhomicide. Activist Sara Garcia said Salvadoran laws disproportionately harm women who are poor and uneducated, but also reflect a general "hatred of women." cWe live in a misogynist, machista society ... with prejudices about how a woman should behave and the punishment she should receive for not fulfilling those expectations," Garcia said. There is no presumption of innocence." The acti vistsanda team ofdefenselawyers atedemandingfieedom forthewomen. Under the banner of an organization called Las 17, they have filed petitions for pardons for the 17 women. Vasquez, now 25, was granted the first pardon by a bitterly divided legislature. The legal underpinning was that Vasquez was denied due process in her original hearings. Her attorney, Dennis Munoz, has said she was a victim of a"witch hunt on women." Vasquez left the Ilopango women's prison on the outskirts of San Salvador in late February. Cristina Quin~ s e n tenced to 30 years aftershehad amiscarriage,wasreleasedlast year by a court, which commuted her sentence to three years, amounting to time served. Another prisoner was ordered released by the Supreme Court after 12 years behind bars. The court ruled that her sentence for attempted mutder was excessive. In her case, the babyhad survived. International organizations including Amnesty International and the United Nations have asked El Salvador to relaxits abortion laws. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 35,000 women in El Salvador obtain unsafe, dandestine abortions everyyear.

Homely furniture Bs B story to WBITI1

e eart There is a disreputablepiece of furniture beside my easy chair where I spend agreat dealofm y leisuretime. Normally I think nothing about it as it sits there quietly answering to my utilitarian needs, but this morning I noticed it as a visitor might see it. Why don't you get a new side-table?" they might wonder."Or, at least, just paint it?" The latter question has occurred to me but, like so many other undone things, I just haven't gotten past the recognition of need. The piece of furniture of which I speak is justa setoffour drawers painted white and gilded with a strip of gold paint and a marble look-alike top of contactpaper,allwell-worn. It really is quite homely, quickly m ade with hardly any redeeming features except that it"holds things." I have to admit that my George, whom I proudly praise in many ways, built this stand as well as a second mate to it, hidden someplace about the house. To an outsider, it might be an embarrassment in their home, but in mine I know the story behind it and therein makes the difference. Back in 1963 we purchased and moved into a house perched on the crest of a hill overlooking the valley from where we had left behind the valley home formerly owned by George's folks. From there we had brought the framework of an iron bedstead that had come across the plains in a covered wagon by Mother Fleshman's Willett parents. She had told us we could have it but that it lacked one of the frame mattresssupportrailsbecause she had broken it and had used it in her flower bed tosupport the taller growth. We had no idea how that little woman had broken off the piece of steel that she needed to hold up her flowers, but she seemed capable of most anything. After her death and in our moving to the hill, George dug out the broken portion of the rail and brought it the two pieces along to the new house. The bed frame was in deplorable paint condition, but we wanted to use our hist oricbed,so we setabout restoring it, not to its original condition, for it was just an openwork of curling iron rods that Mother Fleshman had painted some time before, but with a new coat of white paint, gilding the raised portions. Somehow George had m anaged to fasten together thepieces ofbroken railing to the headboard with a bit of wire and this and that, so the stead stood ready forouruse. It really turned out quite nicely with our matching window drapes and

bedspread. The bedhad come with a mirrored dresserand a tallseven-drawer chest, the wood in both in equally poor condition,sothey received the same treatment of white paint and gold gilt. We were proud of our new master bedroom except for one thing. We had no bed stands. Here we were in the middle of getting settled in our new house in the middle of winter, George attending to so many details as well as his job in town, and there was no place to put his alarm clock or drawers for our personal belongings on either side of

the bed. SeeDory/Page 2B

Allspice is a victim of its own name. You can't blame someone for seeingthe word "allspice"and thinking that it is a blend of m any spices — oreven allspices. It's a natural assumption. But allspice is just one spice, a driedberry from abroad leafevergreen tree that grows primarily on the islands of the Caribbean Sea and Central America. It got its English name, according to a book published in 1736, because it tastes like"all the other spices." Usually when people today try to describe the taste, they limit the mixture of spices it resembles to cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Sometimes they also add juniper, ginger and black pepper. What this means to the home cook is that allspice can be counted on to add an extra kick to practically everything. Whatever tastes good with cinnamon, clovesornutmeg tasteseven bet-

ALLSPICE Continued ~om Page 1B The nexttime you make a chicken soup — or beef soup, or tomato — add a little allspice. Four or five berries will do for a gallon of soup, or one berry for every quart of liquid. Or if you are making a pot roast, stew or otherbraised dish,try three to fiv e allspice berriesfor a lovely hint of the flavor of the islands. And don't forget to use it in desserts, too. Allspice is like cardamom; it is just as happy in sweet dishes as it is in savory. Cookies, cakes, oatmeal and even applesauce all perk up a bit when sprinlded with ground allspice. I decided to use it in three distinctly different ways: as part of a flavorful rub on roast chicken, in a spicy marinade inspired

net chile peppers).

I couldn't find scotch bonnets locally, so I used habaneros instead. They areclosely related and pack the same amount of fierce heat, but scotch bonnets are said to taste a bit fruitier. Because of the wallop of fire that these peppers contain, Iremoved the seeds before chopping them.

DO-ITYOURSELF CORNER

ByAlison Highberger WesCom News Service

If you have a concrete driveway, chances are you're goingtogetacrack or tw o as time goes by. If you don't do anything about it, a crack will just get worse as water seeps in and freezing and thawing occurs. So it's time to fix those cracks. eWeather is our problem in Central Oregon — hot days, cold nights, expansion and contraction. Ifthe subgrade wasn't prepared properly and moisture gets under concrete in the winter and freezes,thaws and settles, weak spots can turn into cracks," said David Graham, a Central Oregon custom home builder who specializes in concrete. He's run DC Graham Construction for 19 years and gave us tips for successfulconcreterepair. The good news is that filling a concrete crack, and preventing it &om cracking more, is a relatively easy do-it-yourself job if both sides of the crack are the same height. The bad news is that it's only aBand-Aid fi x,even when done by an expert. The only real solution for a cracked driveway is an entirely new driveway at some point. "Igetfourorfivecalls each week, sometimes two or three per day, asking me, 'Do you do driveway crack repair?' and honestly, I don't anymore. That's what crack filler is for, and most peoplecan do itthemselves. I recommend going to a good place like Bend Construction Supply to get their recommendation for a product that works best in our climate," Graham said. David Baker, the owner of Bend Concrete Supply, said most people use a hybrid polyurethane caulking. He carriesavariety to choose from that come in multiple colors, including concrete gray. They can match most stainedorcolored concrete as well. This is a do-it-yourself project thatBaker told usis definitely worth doing, and the sooner the better.

Driveway cracks can be filled to prevent worsening of the crack.

DRIVEWAY CRACK REPAIR • Time: One day to sweep or hose off the driveway, widen the crack, let it dry, vacuum it and then fill it with caulk. • Difficulty: Moderate, because it involves drilling and physical exertion. • Cost: Less than $200, assuming that you already own some of the supplies. SUPPLIES: Broom, whisk broom, dustpan Shop vacuum 4/2-inch angle grinder ($30-$150), with V-shaped crack chaser ($40-$100), or Hammer and chisel (about $35) Sand or backer rod (aka foam rope) Polyurethane caulking ($8 per tube that covers 10 to 12 feet) Caulking gun ($5) Mask (N95) to prevent breathing concrete dust (about $15) Safety goggles (about $20) STEP 1: CLEANTHE DRIVEWAY Sweep and then wash off the driveway, getting as much debris as you can out of the crack with a broom, whisk broom or water. Let the crack dry. STEP 2: ENLARGETHE CRACKAND VACUUM Put on safety goggles and a mask (N95 is a particulate respirator mask that will prevent you from breathing in concrete dust). With a hammer and chisel or, for greater speed and precision, a grinder with a crackchaser blade attachment, cut a V-shaped groove into the concrete crack, opening it up to a consistent width of "/4-inch to "/2-inch, so you have space to fill it with caulk. Sweep the concrete dusk you generate into a dustpan and save it for sprinkling over the crack when it's filled. The crack will be less noticeable that way. After the crack is widened, vacuum out any debris with a shop vac or wash it out with a hose. If the crack is wet, allow it to dry completely before you fill it. STEP 3: FILLTHE CRACK Before you start caulking, if the crack is deep or cracked to different depth levels, you might want to pour in some sand or push a backer rod (foam rope) into it, so that you'll be able to fill the crack to a consistent depth of about "/2 inch. Put a tube of polyurethane crack filler in a caulking gun, and then fill the crack. "While the caulk is wet, broadcast the concrete dust you saved over it, and it'll stick. The next day, when it's dry, sweep up any excess that did not stick," said David Baker of Bend Construction Supply.

In response to a column abouttossingvegetables in olive oil and roasting them in a 400-degree oven, a reader &om Connecticut writes: "My wife and I often roast vegetables as you described. But we recently heard that olive oil, when used with high heat, creates icompoundsl that are definitely not good for us. We are now concerned about using olive oil in cooking and baking and are somewhat confused as to what we should do. Do you have any knowledge or information about such issues?" High heat can definitely damage the integrity and nutritional value of cooking oils, say food chemists. Especially when the oil is heated beyond its "smoke point." How do you know when it reaches this level? It emits a harsh odor and sets off your smoke alarm. When oils begin to smoke, they release volatile and sometimes dangerous compounds into your food. Oils vary in their smoke point. Extra virgin olive oil, for example, disintegrates at alower temperature than refined olive oil. And the practice of reusing the same oil over and oversuch as in deep fat fiying — causesitto become rancid much more quickly. Studies conducted on "thermally stressed culinary oils" show they can produce toxic substances known to harm health. And valuableomega-3 fats are destroyed when vegetable oilsareheated above their

smoke points. Exposure to light and oxygen can accelerate thedeterioration of cooking oils as well, so where we store them becomes important. Here are some other guidelines: Avoid consuming fiied foodsas much as possible. Duh. When you do cook in oil, use high monounsaturated fats such as olive and canola oils. These may be better able to resist oxidativedamage when heated than oils that are high in polyunsaturated fats such as corn or safIIower oils. Use extra virgin unreined oilsforsalad dressf ings and lightly sauteed dishes. Use more refined oils for cooking at higher temperatures. Extra virgin olive oil, for example, has a smoke point of about 320 degrees F. whereas refined olive oil begins smoking at around 410 degrees. Use nut oils like peanut, walnut, sesame and grapeseedfordishes thatrequire higher cooking temperatures. These oils generally have smoke points of 400 degrees or higher. Save your cherished flax-

seed, hemp and poppyseed oilsforrecipesthatrequire little if any heat. These oils have a high propensity to become rancid even at low cooking temperatures. Who needs to char foods with ghastly high temperatures anyway? According to a technical paper on this topic &om Oklahoma State University, most foods cook well at temperatures between 325 and 375 degrees F. Maybe we could even turn the heat down a bit with our olive oil tossed roasted vegetables.

starts popping ofE and it's crumbling and falling apart, it'stime for a tear-out," Baker said. If you decide that it's time to get a new driveway put in, Graham said the price is anywhere from $1.45 to $1.75per square footto

remove theold concrete. An average two-car driveway is about 600 square

feet, sothat'sabout$900. Then the cost ofhaving a new driveway poured runs

between $2,000 and$4,500. Graham said he's putting in more paver driveways than

concrete ones these days. "Pavers in Central Oregon are agreat option because if something happens to one of them, you just replace it, not the whole driveway. Pavers last longer than concrete, and wearbetter,too,"Graham said.

Dog dangers:Whenneteats VourNills The Seattle Times A medication that does one thing for peopledoes notnecessaril y dothe same for our pets, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association iAVMAl. Although there are many medications used in both animals and people, the effects, dosesneeded,and otherthings can differ. A pet can easily ingest dropped pills or may be given harmful human medications by an unknowing owner, causing illness, or even death. About one-quarter of all phone calls to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center are about human medications, the AVMA says. The center lists the 10 most common human-medication complaints they receive. Here they are, in order based on the number of complaints: 1. Ibuprofen: Also sold as Advil and Motrin, this is the most common human drug ingested by pets. Many brands have a sweet outer coating that makes it appealing to pets ithink"M&M,n but a potentially deadly one). Ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney failure. 2.Tramadol: Also sold as Ultram, this is a pain reliever. Your veterinarian may prescribe itforyour pet,butonly ata dosethat'sappropriate.Never giveyour medication to your pet without first consulting your veterinarian. Too much tramadolcan cause sedation oragitation, wobbliness, disorientation, vomit-

Alprazolam: Also sold as Xanax, thisisprescribed asan anti-anxiety m edication and a sleep-aid.M ostpets that ingest alprazolam can become sleepy and wobbly; however a few will become veryagitated instead.These pills are commonly ingested by pets as people put them out on the nightstand so they remember to take them. Large dosesofalprazolam can drop theblood pressure and could cause weakness or collapse. 4. Adderall: This is a combination of four different amphetamines and is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder iADHDl in children. This medication doesn't have the same effect in pets as it does in people; it acts as a stimulant in pets and causes elevated heart rate and body temperature, along with hyperactivity, tremors and seizures. 5. Zolpidem: Also sold as Ambien, this is a sleep-aid for people. Pets commonly eat pills left on the bedside table. Zolpidem may make cats wobbly and sleepy, but mostpetsbecome very agitated and developelevated heart rates. 6. Clonazepam: Also sold as Klonopin, this drug is used as an anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety medication. It is sometimesalsoprescribed asa sleep-aid. When animals ingest clonazepam, they can become sleep and wobbly. Too much

clonazepam can lower the blood pressure,leading tow eakness orcollapse. 7. Acetaminophen: Also sold as Tylenol, acetaminophen is a very common pain killer found in most households. Catsareextremely sensitiveto acetaminophen, but dogs can be affected, too. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage.Italsocan cause damage to yourpet' sred blood cells so thatthe cells are unable to carry oxygen — like your body, your pet's body needs oxygen to survive. 8.

Toxicology studies show a mix of oil and dispersants hurt animals more than oil alone, partly because breaking down the oil makes it easier to consume. Sargassum mats — crucial beds of floating material that harbor young marine animals — sink when exposed to oil and then dispersant. Crude oil interrupts the ability of fish heart cells to beat effectively. And early findings show oil spill cleanup workers reported increased coughing and wheezing and mental health symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, compared to nonworkers, according to the National Institutes of Health, halfway through a study of 33,000 workers for 10 years.

April20is the fifth anniversary of the explosion at BP's Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig, the beginning of an oil leak that officially ended Sept. t9, 20t0, when the oil well was sealed.

BILOXI, Miss. — Vernon Asper is a scientist who works in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, looking for oil. It's still out there, five years after the nation's worst oil spillthe Deepwater Horizon blowoutinApril 2010 that killed 11 rig workers and spewed what was estimated at the time to be 205 million gallons into the Gulf over three months.

The La Grande softball team found itself in a precariousposition Friday afternoon. The Tigers had already dropped the opener of their Greater Oregon League doubleheader to Ontario, 4-0, and were behind 8-1 as they stepped to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning. An 0-4 start in league play was staring them in the face — a start that would be difficult to climb out of to garner one of the two GOL playofFspots. But the hits finally started to drop in, and an RBI single by Breann Givens in the bottom of the seventh capped a furious comeback as La Grandescoredthe lasteight runs of the game to win 9-8 over the visiting Tigers, salvaging a split. 'They answered. They came through in a tough situation," head coach Lin Casciato said ofhis team. 'They picked it up, found new life and ran with it." Marissa Carson, Givens, Britney Bertrand, Brandy Blackman and Kali Avila connected on five consecutive hits in the fifth inning, with Avila's RBI single drawing La Grande to within 8-4.
