Andrew Crollard of La Grande was just completing a three-week trek in Nepal Saturday when an earthquake turned his world upside down. Along with his girlfriend, Natalie Linton, Crollard was back in the capital of Kathmandu when the quake struck. But not out of harm's way. Not by a long shot. Some 50 people died when a six-story hotel collapsed into a pit where locals did laundry, less than 100 feet from his location As of Tuesday morning, Crollardhad returned safely to La Grande. Meanwhile, back in Nepal, the death toll from the 7.8 on the Richter scale earthquake had passed 5,000, including 18 climbers who were at a Mount Everest base camp hit by an avalanche triggered by the quake.

In 1861, the Maryland House of Delegates voted 53-13 against seceding from the Union. In 1913, Swedish-born engineer Gideon Sundback of Hoboken, New Jersey, received a U.S. patent for a "separable fastener" — later known as the zipper. In 1946, 28 former Japanese officials went on trial in Tokyo as war criminals; seven ended up being sentenced to death. In 1957, the SM-1, the first military nuclear power plant, was dedicated at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. In 1974, President Richard M.

Martin Tadlock, the provostand vice president for academic affairs at Bemidji State University in Minnesota, knows what it is like to take the reins of a university. The EOU presidential finalist served as the interim president of Northeastern State University in Oldahoma for six months in 2011 while the university conducted a search for a permanent president "I enjoyed it. I found that I could make a significant impact in ways that I could not as aprovost,"said Tadlock at a reception following his presentation at a public forum on Tuesday at Eastern. Northeastern State Universityis one of seven universities Tadlock has worked at during a 25-year career in higher education. He said thatif selected as Eastern's next president he would hope to stay at EOU for 10 years. He said that he and his wife,Larae,aretired of fiequentmoves. "I'm not interested in staying here only two or three years," Tadlock said."I would like to move one more time and be somewhere the last 10 years of my career." He saidhe isim pressed with the people he has met at Eastern, itsprograms and the beauty of the region. Tadlock said he would want to help Eastern develop the distinctive qualities that set itapart from other universities in the state. This has been a goal ofhis at Bemidji State, located in rural northwest Minnesota, and it appears tobeyielding dividends. Bemidji State, Tadlock said, is now the only state university in Minnesota with an upward enrollment trajectory. Bemidji State's enrollment is projected to be up 1.5 percent to 2 percent in 2015-16, while all of Minnesota's otherpubli cuniversities are projecting a decline in enrollment.

increase considering that enrollment at many of Minnesota's stateuniversities has dropped during this time. "People are knocking at the door to us asking how we are doing it," Tadlock said. He credits the increase to a number ofinnovative steps, including an international study program. Through it studentsareoffered the opportunity to study for a semester in another country at a cost of no more than $1,000 more than what they would have paid had they studied on the Bemidji State campus. Presently about 100 students take part in the program each year. "I hope that we can get it up to 400," Tadlock said, noting that the program is immensely popular with students. Another step Bemidji State is planning to take will involve not charging freshmen for tuition. This program is settobe phased in starting in 2020. Bemidji State is similar to Eastern in that many of its students are from lowincome families. Tadlock has taken pride throughout his higher education career in providingopportunitiesto students from low-income families. "It is all about the greater

"I refuse to come here next year and not have answers for us," said La Grande Mayor Steve Clements. Funding for the officer in the 2015-16 budget comes out of a $200,000 allotment thatwas tobe transferred from the city's general fund to thecity'sgeneralreserve fund. Strope said he had intended for that funding to gotoward the startofa capital fund for a potential new police station, which a committee has been investigatingover the pastyear. Following the decision to fund another officer, La Grande Police Chief Brian Harvey said he was relievedand that theadded officer will help the department carry out its daily functions.

Washburn believes that an RFID system, which would cost about $70,000 to install, is cost prohibitive. "It would almost break our budget," she said. Washburn noted that the library might not be able to purchase any new booksfortwoyearsifitinstalled an RFID system. She explained that $70,000 is about what the library spends on new books every two years. She doubts that the library would be given the additional money it would need for an RFID system.

endeavor, Harvey said. "It's fallen on police to cover that gap," he said. "That problem is not going to go away." He said the department has lost two sworn officers since 2008. One position was added back via a grant to investigate domestic violence cases. That grant runs out in the fall of 2016, and Harvey said there's a chance funding may not be renewed. The committee voted to include the police officer with only City Councilor Gary Lillard voting no, saying he was the"voice of caution." The committee approvedotherwise status quo budgets for the general fund and enterprise and other funds, with most of the differences coming in the way the city calculates "beginning resources." The citypreviously referred to this item as cash on hand but changed it at the advice of its auditing firm. The same committee on Monday convened as the Urban Renewal Budget

Committee, passing the proposed budget that includes funding for ongoing projects — the facade grant program,discretionary project program and the previously approved Market Place Family Foods project. The UR budget also includesdebt service forthe next portion of the Adams Avenue Streetscape project, previously called Big

The budgets are subject to adoption by the Urban Renewal Agency and La Grande City Council at their June 3 meetings.

Today, Insko, who lives in La Grande and is the area manager for Boise Cascade's Inland Region, believes he doeshave the skillsettohelp a university he dearly loves. "I want to apply my leadership skills in a new environment," Insko said. The chance to take the reins of a university he is immensely proud of is one he could not pass up. "It is a unique dream opportunity," he said. Insko, 45, said he underwent an amazing transformation at EOU, moving from a shy youth to an outgoing and self-assured young adult equipped with skills employers were seeking. This transformation is one he wants others to have the same opportunity to experience. "It really is about changing lives. I want what happened to me to happen to others," Insko said. Insko said that at Eastern his confidence soared because of professors he highly respected who reached out to him and pushed him out of his comfort zone and encouraged him to do new things. Insko graduated from Eastern with bachelor of science degrees in mathematics and business/economics. He later earned amaste r's degree in business administration from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. His degrees have served him well, one reason he believes Eastern should continue to maintain a strongliberalartsprogram as opposed to focusing on becoming aprofessional school.

Questionsraised after stagecollapses By Rick Callahan The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The superintendent of an Indiana schooldistrictwhere a stage collapsed, injuring 16 high school students when they plunged an orchestra pit, said Friday that the section that gave way was only a few years old, but it's unclear whether it was ever subject to inspection. The uncertainty surrounding the regulation of the orchestrapitcoverthatcollapsed during Thursday's finale of a musical at Westfield High School, 20 miles north of Indianapolis, is reminiscent of questions that arose in 2011, when heavy winds toppled stage rigging onto fans awaiting a performance by country duo Sugarland at the Indiana State Fair.

John Erickson, a spokesman forthe state'sDepartment of Homeland Security, said the state rules adopted after the fair rigging collapse don't apply to the type of permanent, indoor stages found in schools. And he said it's unclear whether inspectionsofpublic school stages are required under any state rules. "It does not look like plans were required to be filed" forthe stage attheschool, Erickson said. Westfield Washington Schools Superintendent Mark Keen said he wasn't sure who, if anyone, handles inspections of the district's schoolstages.He said school officials are delving into records and will provide information to investigators.

Sheehy. "I definitely think that our girls are in the running for district and forstate,"Union head coach Jay Blackburn said."Ourgirlshave stepped up big time and I think we're in that hunt. We've done the numbers. We know

we're in the running." Union is also in a stretch of dominating the district meet, having won four times in five years. It should be right there again in 2015. "Not saying it's going to happen, but our girls are the favorite for that," Blackburn sard. It's the second year in a row the Bobcat girls have won theirannual home meet. Last year's team came within five points of winning a 2A state title. This team has some new faces, but it is also a squad that has more than one athlete who can score points. Bullard is currently tied for the top high jump mark in 2A. Elizabeth Herbes is currently second in the 200 and third in the triple jump. Wells is fourth in the 3,000. Laura Herbes and Sheehy are fourth and fifth, respectively, in the pole vault. Union is not a one-trick pony. The Bobcats showed that fact with how they ran away with Saturday's meet title, winning by almost 30 points over 4A McLoughlin. The talent is there for eitheroftheseteams toleave Eugene with a first-place trophynextmonth, and no one should be surprised if they do.

BOND the program, and they push each other. Tradition has a lot to do with it. I couldn't be more proud of them. Each year they challenge each other." The Enterprise victory could have been greater too. Moody said the team had a down day from some of its key contributors. What that does show, however, is their depth. The Outlawshave a number of players who can step up and perform. If a teammate has an off-day, the team won't lack because someone else will pick up the pieces. Moody said he doesn't go into a meet trying to necessarily win the team title. He said he changes his athletes' events up occasionally like he did Saturday. The fact Enterprise won considering its switch-ups shows something special is brewing for the 2015 Outlaws. Obviously only time will tell if this team will take that elusive state title. But with a team led by Lathrop and Fuller, and loaded with other talent in Nathaniel Perren, Daniel Kohlhepp, Chander Burns, Rocky Davidson and Brandon Frolander — to name a few — it would not be a big surpriseifthis team took it all. Enterprise was close a year ago, falling just eight points behind champion Central Linn. The Outlaws will be close again. Meanwhile, the Union girls ran away with the team title in the Pepsi Invite, their first team win of the season. Like Enterprise, this team is loaded.

Physically, it's only a move of a few feet. But in reality the switch is gigantic for a defensive lineman. Lanoue is using the spring to get adjusted to the inside. "It's justthefeel.Feeling a guard come down onyou,orfeeling a big double team instead of just a running back with a tackle," Lanoue said."It's just a lot different. You're in the trenches and you're getting cut now." Camp said a number of players are standing out, including the aforementioned Lanoue and Connors. Among those he also mentioned were returning quarterback Zach Bartlow, running backs Jace Billingsley iwho will be a full-time back after splitting time at the wide out position) and A.J.

The Center for Human Development and the Union County Safe Communities Coalitionare partnering to provideinformation to parents and community members about the steadily growing number ofyoung people who are drinking. ''We're a community," said Katie Baeza, strategic prevention framework coordinator at CHD.'We need to help protect each other." The town hall meeting will bringin speakers like treatment specialists, multiple law enforcement agencies, and stafFfrom Shelter From the Storm and Eastern Oregon University to talk about what they're seeing as far as underage drinking, as well as those who may be oflegal drinking age but are drinking excessively. "Local professionals will be talking about the issue itself," Baeza said. The town hall is intended to raise awareness about what students experience at school but also to educate parents on the ramifications of drinking regularly in front of children, Baeza said. The children see alcohol regularly consumed and think it's OK to drink if the parents do. "Substance use is a problem in Union County," she said, specifying that alcohol and tobaccouse are problem areas.'We'retrying

to give all the support we can to inform how to protect our kids to make the right choice." She said even if a child is 10 years old now, they11 eventually get to the age where their peers are pressuring them. "More than 37 percent of Union County 11th-grade students consumed alcohol in the last month," she said, quoting a 2014 Oregon Healthy Teen survey. The number of eighth-grade students consuming alcohol is increasing, she said. "It's a community issue," she said.'They're our future. The community needs to make sure we're not providing alcohol to minors. It's never OK because they're underage." Baeza said it's an uphill battle about preventing alcohol abuse in children but one that the local organizations are willing to fight. It is a free event and a light dinner will be provided.

Types of Stroke According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year more than 795,000

people in the United States have a stroke — three-quarters of

which are over the age of 65. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries blood tothe brain is

suddenly blocked by a clot (ischemic stroke), or burst (hemorrhagic stroke), causing parts of the brain to become damaged or

die.About 87 percent of all strokes are ischemic. Depending on the severity of the brain damage, strokes can c ause mild to severe disabili t i e s

Haggen grocery store sets timeline for Baker franchise BAKER CITY — The Haggen grocery chain is tentatively scheduled to take over ownership and operation of the Albertsons store in Baker City May 14-16. The conversion typically takes about 36 hours, during which the store is closed, said Deborah Pleva, an associate with Weinstein PR, a firm that represents Haggen. Pleva said the May 14-16 schedule is not final. The Baker City Albertsons is one of 146 stores that Haggen agreed to buy in December. Haggen's acquisitions were prompted by the merger of Albertsons and Safeway. The Federal Trade Commission required the merged company to sell stores in markets such as Baker City that have both a Safeway and an Albertsons store.

OTEC places first in Northwest regional safety award OregonTrailElectricCooperativeplaced first in the 2015 Northwest Public Power Administration Safety Awards contest. General Manager Werner Buehler was delighted with the notification received earlier this month. 'This is a big deal for us," he said. ''While this is not the first time OTEC has received this honor, it acknowledges our continued perseverance and commitment to safety. It is priority No. 1." In 2014, between the 150,000-500,000 hour category, OTEC had no lost-time accidents. This paired with the lack of injury cases is what put OTEC in the lead for the recognition. "Utilities from across the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and California compete in this annual safety contest, and it is a great honor to be recognized," Buehler said. The awards ceremony was held at NWPPA's Engineering and Operations Conference on April 9 at the Tacoma Convention Center in Washington and a small representative group from OTEC traveled to accept the award.

Classroom, Web-based and Web-based interactive have all been part of their training paths and each has completed more than 150 credit hours of instruction to reach this goal. Stockhoff and McEwan will continue their training to achieve "master" level recognition. John Deere University credits are earnedin various categoriestoensure expertise in the sales,service and parts departments of John Deere Dealerships, like Tri-County Equipment.

• Elgin man wins Eastern Oregon's Tree Farmer of the Year' award By Tiish Yerges ForWesCom News Service

Tree farmer and retired wildlife biologist Harlan Scott of Elgin receivednotice thathewas selected as the eastside runner-up for the 2014 Oregon Tree Farmer of the Year award. "Jamie Knight of the Oregon Department of Forestry in La Grande gave me the news this week," said Scott."This is the first time I've won this particular award. I was surprised." Scott also won the 2014 Union County Forest Steward of the Year and the 2014 Union County Tree Farmer of the Year. At age84,Scott'sdaily retirement occupation revolves around his tree farm. His 730-acre farm is located on Yarrington Road outside of Elgin, and it stretches out about two miles. Most ofitis flat land, but some of it includes gullies and part of Duncan Canyon. He also has a couple of ponds on the property. "I'vebeen ableto gooutalmost daily from February on because the weather has been warmer," Scottsaid."Ispend a lotoftim e thinning the trees and spraying the weeds around the little trees forbettergrowth."

have long believed that if you are not growing, you are dying. This applies to both individuals and organizations. Before the Great Recession, I met owners who had the "Goldilocks Mentality," which is to say, they had created and built an organization that was "just right." Most of those folks are now out ofbusiness. They failed to grow their business when timeswere good,and suffered when times were bad. If you want to grow your business, you have to grow personally and professionally as the owner and leader. You also need to invest in your people; you need to help them grow too. I've heard owners say, "Our employees are our most important asset," but do they act with that belief? I know owners who shun investing in their people out of fear that, once the investment is completed, the employee will leave, and their next employer ioften a competitor) will reap the return on investment. That kind of thinking will keep a company small, regardless of revenue size or headcount. The employees who leave were already planning onmoving on;the education provided would have been paid for by you or their next employer, regardless. Then there are owners who believe that employees should take the burden of development and improvement solely on themselves. Those few employees who rise to this challenge usually end up competing against their former employers. Imagine the positive impact ofhaving smarter, more productive, more engaged employees in return for investing in their growth. Which leads to the question,'What are you doing to help your people grow?" My fiiendDave Baney, founder of 55 Questions in Chicago, recently highlighted a story in Fortune magazine with the publication of its list of"100 Best Companies to Work For." These companies make a priority to invest in their employee's development and have historically grown nearly twice as fast as the

• Magic Garden receives grant toward new commercial kitchen appliances By Katy Nesbitt WesCom News Service

ENTERPRISE — Growing food for kids and with kids was just the beginning for the Joseph and Imnaha Magic Gardens. A grant this spring from the Wallowa County Soroptimist Club will help the Magic Gardens realize its next dream — a commercial kitchen open to the public. The Joseph Methodist Church's congregation has committed $340,000 in its capital campaign to build a fellowship and activity hall that will serve as a Friday soup kitchen, a food bank and a commercial kitchen available for members of the community who need access to a licensed kitchen to make food for sale. 'The kitchen will be open to local entrepreneurs at an inexpensive cost," Robin Martin, the Magic Gardens organizer, said. She said she expects the combination of the historic church and the new activity hall to become a popular wedding venue. Martinsaid to add togrowing vegetablesand teaching courses the Magic Garden now has an acidification specialist on hand to help make pickles,relishes and salsa forthe schools. Those skills will be used to teach classes to the community, as well. The grantThe Magic Garden received in April from the Soroptimist Club is $4,272 to buy a multi-burner propane stove and convection oven. In the grant application, Martin said that those two items were the most requested when local chefs were polled. 'The kitchen will have a good impact on the whole county," Soroptimist Sue Coppin said."Our whole goal behind our large grant, and our mission, is to improve the lives of women and girls.

M artin's grant application said the reason the church and the garden organizersdecided to build theirown kitchen is because other available commercial kitchens have proven inadequate in terms ofhigh cost of rental, adequate space for community cooking classes and times available for rental or donated use. Martin said the church will provide commercialkitchen space atreasonable cost for women entrepreneurs who may be unable to afford to attempt a food-basedbusiness because ofthe high costs associated with equipment, safestorage,food production and space rental.

Coppin said the club had $5,000 set aside for what they call their Major Grant, a program started about four years ago. They awarded the Magic Garden the full request of $4,272 because the club thought that would make the most impact. ew e decided todo thatinstead of dabbling a little bit here or there.

DEARABBY: I have been marfv'ed twice. My ftrst marriage lasted 20 years, the second one about four years. During my ftrst marriage, I started cheating seven months after our wedding. My wife knew about some oftheaffairsand stuck with me anyway. I ftnally felt so guilty for hurting her emotionally, I called it quits and married the last woman I cheated on her with. My second marf7'age was in many ways better. I was able to remain faithful for more than threeyearsbeforecheating again.Ifeel terrible that I have hurt another woman I loved, but I have now fallen in love with the woman I'm cheating with. It's like I'm in a perpetual cycle and don't know how to stop. I want this relationship to be my last one. I want to remain faithful and committed, but I'm scared to death I'll end up cheating on her and let us both down. I'm not proud ofhow I treated my exes, but I can't change the past. How do I change this pattern ofbehavior soIcan beafaithfuland devoted partner?

By Mark Sherman The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Pivotal Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote could decide the same-sex marriage issue for the nation, did not tip his hand Tuesdayin historic arguments at the Supreme Court. But Kennedy's record on the issue could give encouragement to gay and lesbian couples. As advocates and protestersdemonstrated outside, the author of the court's three prior gay rights rulings talked about the touchstones of dignity and concern for children in same-sex householdsthatdrove hisfavorable earlier opinions. But he also worried about changing the definition of marriage from the union of a man and a woman, a meaning that he said has existed for "millennia-plus time." "It's very difftcult for the court to sayWe know better"'

Dissenting

afterbarely adecadeofexperience with same-sex marriage in the United States, Kennedy told Mary Bonauto, a lawyer representingsame-sex couples. The 78-year-old justice's likely role as a key, perhaps decisive votewas reinforced during arguments that lasted 2-'/~hours in a rapt courlroom and appeared to divide the court's liberaland conservative justices over whether the Constitution gives same-sex couples the right to marry. Those couples can do so now in 36 states and the District of Columbia, and the court is weighing whether gay and lesbian unions should be allowed in all 50 states. "Same-sex couples say, of course, We understand the nobility and the sacredness of marriage. We know we can't procreate, but we want the otherattributes ofitin order to show that we, too, have a dignity that can be fulfilled,"'
