A recent designation by U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack m akes rest oration offorestlands at risk from disease across the country a high priority.

Vilsack's designation coincides with work going on in many places across Oregon with local collaborative groups finding common ground to develop restoration projects, on which Oregonians with a range of views Vilsack ca n agree with.

Nearly 3 millionacres offederalforestland in Oregon have been designated for landscapeKitzhaber scale treatment of insect and diseasethreats.A provision of the newly passed federal Farm Bill set up the process for governors to request these designations under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. The Wallowa-Whitman isone ofsix nationalforests in Oregonreceivingfederal designation as "focalareas" for treatment of insect and disease.

A statement by the Oregon Department of Forestry said Vilsack's announcement came in response to a request from Gov. John Kitzhaber.

The State Board of Higher Education is closeto adopting 2014-15 tuition ratesthat would freeze tuition at EOU. EOU would continue to have the lowest tuition of any state university in Oregon if the proposedtuition ratesare adopted by the State Board of Higher Eduction. Jay Kenton, who will become EOU's interim president on June 16, said this is important because Eastern has many students from low-income families. owe want to keep tuition as low as we can for our price-sensitive students," said Kenton, the Oregon University System's vice chancellor for administration and financial affairs.

Sacred Heart Academy, a Catholic school that educated studentsin kindergarten throughatleasteighth grade,served asa boarding school in La Grande in the early 1900s. The school was run by nuns from the Third Order of St. Francis in Glen Riddle, Pa. The parochial school was located just south of where Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, 1002 L Aveu is today.

Sacred Heart Academy opened as a day school in 1894. A boarding school was established after many students from outlying areas enrolled. Facilities for boarding students included a dormitory and a recreation room, according to records from Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church.

Sacred Heart Academy had 40 students its first year, 150 in 1912 and by 1919 enrollment had reached 168, including 42 boarding students.

ENTERPRISE — Wallowa County has one more community member representing them at the state level.

Lisa Dawson, executive director ofNortheast Oregon Economic Development District, has been tapped to join the Oregon Parks Commission.

Dawson said last summer she was asked to consider filling the Eastern Oregon spot on the commission.

After a considerable amount of thought, she said, she ran it by the development distric t' sboard.They gave her the go-ahead and she agreed to be considered for the position.

"I wanted to have an opportunity to represent the three counties. I serve on a statewide commission and hoped I would help to make good choices," she said.

Dawson said she interviewed with former Parks Director Tim Woods and with the governor's natural resource office.

'They were excited to have someone from Eastern Oregon willing to serve," Dawson said.

Following the nomination process, Dawson said she was approved by the state Senate in February. She attended a hearing by phone that all appointees are required to attend and the confirmation was complete.

The commission has five members and meets five times a year, said Dawson.

Her first meeting in April was in Bend. She said each meeting has a one-day field trip and a day of meetings.

While in Central Oregon the commission visited Smith Rock State Park, a popular sport climbing destination, and Petersen Rock Gardens.

'That was the fun part," Dawson said.

Petersen Rock Gardens is not a state park, but was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places.

All of the structures on site are miniature buildings made of rock, said Dawson, built in the 1940s following

Lisa Dawson, executive director of the Northeast Oregon Development Economic District, accepted a position on the Oregon Parks Commission. a trend throughout Europe and the U.S."There are fantastic miniatures of interesting building architectures with an Americana theme," Dawson said.

She said the people who own it are descendents of the people who built the gardens. The hope, Dawson said, is that the historic designation will help draw more visitors to the gardens.

One of the challenges for the commission is grappling with a significant funding cut from the state with the department sending more ofitsrevenue directly to counties to run their parks.

For the current biennium, Dawson said $80 million comes from the state lottery, $40 million is from park user fees and $20 million comesfrom recreational

vehicle registration.

Dawson said lottery funding has been going down over time.

"It had its high from 2007 to 2009 and has gone down since then and is expected to go down even more this biennium," she said.

Parks acquires property allover the state and conducts both purchases and land exchanges. Dawson said one new acquisition in the works is the 357-acre Beltz Farm near Tillamook on the coast.

"The state has had their eyes on it for a long time," Dawson said."Their interest

in acquiring the property dates back to the 1960s."

Dawson began working with the development district in 1989 and took over the helm in 1993. She said her experience will help her as a commission member.

"I understand the connection between what the state parks department does and community and economic development," Dawson said.

lionbe adopted for 2014-15, down .008 percent from its current budget of $4,144 million.

One reason the school district' sbudgetisdown isthat the state has changed the method it uses to determine how many students districts have who are from families below the poverty line, Sullivan said.

The change means the state is now calculating that the Imbler School District has fewer students in the poverty category. This will cost Imbler since school district's receive an additional $1,700 for each student from a family below the poverty line.

Imbler plans to compensate for the shortfall by taking steps like reducing what it spends for supplies, Sullivan said.

The Imbler School District's Budget Committee may vote on whether to recommend the district's proposed 2014-15 budget to the schoolboard foradoption when it meets Tuesday. The meeting will start at 5:30 p.m. in Room 1 of Imbler

High School.

Betty Alice (Malony) Huggins

Betty Alice (Malony) Huggins, 99, departed this life Friday, April 25, 2014, at her home in Pullman after a brief illness.

She wasborn Nov. 23, 1914, in Spokane, to Walden Leroy "Pat" Malony and Pearl Darling (Boyles) Malony.

Betty's childhood was spent on "The 80," one section of her grandparents', John and Alice Boyles, wheat ranch near Colton that her parents farmed. Their rural life changed when her father's civil engineering career took them east.

Skipping two grades at the four-room Colton School, she was just 12 when she started high school in Minneapolis and only 16 when she graduated in Wellesley, Mass.

A chance meeting on a train traveling from New York led Betty to become a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at college. Her parents met in 1904 at the same college (now Washington State University) where in 1937 Bettyearned her bachelor of arts in sociology and Spanish.

She married John Douglas Huggins in January 1940, and they managed the dairy farm in Tammany, part of the Huggins Dairy concern located on 18th and Main streets in Lewiston.

Betty and their first child, Richard Malony Huggins, spent the World War II years in Spokane at her parents' home while John fought with Patton's army. Betty drove a forklift at Kaiser Aluminum, but found her niche as secretary to the editor of the Spokane Daily Chronicle.

By the time their second child, Patricia Alice Huggins, was born in 1951, they had settled on a farmlet in the Lewiston Orchards, Betty as homemaker and John as an electrician and paper maker at Potlatch Forests Inc. Eventually, John's career took them to Longview, Wash., where he worked for Weyerhaeuser as a national troubleshooter, executive, and in research. Betty worked as a social worker for the state's foster care services. They retired to northeast Oregon and rehabbed a century-old farmhouse and acreage in Cove they called"Full Circle Ranch." In 1999, after 21 years ofbeautiful Blue Mountain vistas, they moved to Pullman to live with their daughter and to be near family.

Betty's husband (wed 62 years) and little sister, Patricia Williams, preceded her in death. For the past decade, she was cared for at home by her children, Patricia and Richard. She is survivedby them and her niece, Wendy Williams of Pullman; sisters-in-law Lois Huggins and Marjorie Huggins of Lewiston; numerous nieces and nephews; and pets Pippa and Sparky.

Betty lived through two world wars and saw many changes in her almost 100 years. Besides Betty's generous spirit, she will be remembered by all the things she loved: cooking for family gatherings, delicious cakes, Scottish terriers, roses, wildflowers, Western meadowlarks, John Wayne movies, good writing and the Palouse — and for teaching us to enjoy the moment.

An informal celebration oflife will be held at a future time. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory can be made to Circles of Caring Adult Day Health in Moscow, Doctors Without Borders or to the American Red Cross.

THANKYOU

ee om If you want to really understand the price of freedom and the debt the nation owes its former and active warriors, go to an area Veterans Administration hospital.

Not to visit the sick or those who are healingthough that would certainly not be a bad idea either — butjust find a good seat on the main floor where the doctors and physician assistants meet patients.

Because you will begin to see — though never completely understand — the true outlay, the genuine human expenditure our wars inflict on our fellow Americans.

The patients — those who seek assistance from the VA for a wide range of medical issues — are of all colors and creeds; some are young and some are old and some are middle aged. There are males and females. They come from every corner of Idaho and Oregon andthe nation.

And many, far, far too many, grapple with lifealtering injuries and wounds. Many of those wounds are visible, many more are not and fester inside the psyche of our warriors.

They come each day to take advantage of the one visible debt-repayment program this nation offers its veterans.

Yet if actual, physical evidence does not suit you, perhaps numbers can help. Now, more than 600,000 veterans of the global War on Terror boast some kind of oKcially sanctioned disability. Another 2 million American children are forced to cope — sometimes half a dozen times — with watching their parent leave for a combat zone.

For the most part, the rest of us, those who did not sign a commitment to stand on a wall on a distant shore, have it pretty easy. From 2001 to now, a lot of us were able to go to our son's, or daughter's or grandchild's little league game or to a local prep football game and, essentially, live a life devoid of the kind of sacrifice our warriors endured silently.

We could slap a bumper sticker on the family truckster supporting our troops, make widesweeping proclamations about patriotism and watch 30-second news clips — when, that is, the war was even shown on TV — and then settle in for a quiet night of"American Idol" or"CSI: Miami." The war, it seemed, was a distant thing, like the serious illness of an old, but not really close, friend.

If at some point, someone somewhere, felt just the slightest tingle of regret about the situation that was probably good news. It showed that even though we back home enjoyed the fruits of our hard-won freedom at least we recognized the sacrifice of others in faraway places.

Avisit to aVAhospital to see the final bill our fellow warrior citizens must pay should be a required element to citizenship in America. That it is not, and probably never will be, says a whole lot more about where we are as a nation than it does about the facility of such an appointment.

So if you really want to know what such events as Tarawa,the Pusan Perimeter,Khe Sanh and Sadr City did to our fellow citizens then visit a VA hospital someday. Just sit down and watch. And, perhaps, reflect onjust how lucky the rest of us are and how fortunate we remain to be represented by such fine men and women in our armed services.

YOul VieWS Lauritzen: Time to support a fair health care system

Write to us

To the Editor: Now that the flurry of activity of the elections is over, we need to turn our attention to the ongoing issues facing Oregonians. One of those issues is the needforproviding health care forall Oregonians.

Considering the challenges with the complicated system of Cover Oregon, itiseasy to seethatweneed a sim ple system that includes everyone and excludes no one.

We need a system that is easy to access without the cost and confusion that comes with multiple insurers and multiple plans.

A recent fiscal study by Dr. Gerald Friedman of HR 676, a federal bill sponsoredby Rep.John Conyers ofM ichigan, reports that upgrading the nation's Medicare program and expanding it to cover people of all ages would yield over a half-trillion dollars in efficiency savings in its first year of operation, enough to pay for high-quality comprehensive benefits for all residents of the United Statesat a lower costto m ostindividuals, families and businesses.

Isn'tittim e foreveryone to supporta changetoa m ore affordable,reasonable and fair health care system?

Cooke: Baretto owes farm workers an apology To the Editor: Some farm workers in our valley may be laboring away behind the campaign signs of a candidate who has spent the hard-earned donations of others to promotea bigoted world view.Ifthey were aware of this, they might ask their employers to remove the signs.

These workers have no connection to any crimes committed, and are helping our agricultural economy while trying to supporttheirfamilies.Greg Baretto doesn't think they deserve to have a driver' slicenseor be able to buy autoinsurance. He should have taken the time to get to know them instead of researching old crimes. Their children will be our futurevoters,too.

Since Greg Baretto has so much time on his hands, he should pitch in and drivetrucks carrying wheat, potatoes and sugar beets for 12 or 14 hours a day.

Maybe then he would appreciate the honest labor of other men.

Using his own bigoted logic, he should surrender his license because some white men ofhis age have committed heinous crimes in our state. Or would he prefer to make a public apology now?

warn others so they won't fall victim to the same tricksters Ihave.

Don't ever go there when a pop-up invites you to participate in a survey. I was signed in to Safeway's "Just 4 U" site, when an ad popped up under the name Safeway.com. It was a survey. I had never been tempted to participate in such a thing in the past but for some reason I was like Eve, taking that first bite of fruit. I answered their questions and earned my choice of three prizes. All I had to do was pay the shipping charge of $4.95 for something I really didn't care to have in the first place.

When my bank statement arrived the other day there were two deductions for what had to bethecompany. My personal banker, my precious lovely granddaughter, checked it out online, and the news wasn't good. They had bilked many out of hundreds of dollars. She convinced me to call the bank and stop my debit card and check my account. I was a little late. They had already taken two debits, one just over $99 and one justover $98.Fora freeitem?

The 877 number they'd enclosed for a customer service number wasn't operable, but the bank gave me a different one that I was able to reach a customer service rep at. After letting her know we were wise to their tricks and I wanted my money back immediately, she informed me she could not discuss the situation and I'd have to call my bank representati ve.We drove tothebank, called the number again and wouldn't you know? No one answered.

Well, a fool may be born every moment, as some say, but this ol' gal has attended the School of Hard Knocks and this will never happen again to me.

"I've taken a couple of kids who before that had never been out of the valley, or on an airplane, for that matter," Blackman said.

Blackman remembers one year the tour guide grabbed her. The guide was worried about a girl who had wandered ofFtrom the group in Washington, D.C., and was staring intently at a parking meter. It was the first time the girl had seen one.

'You mean you all don't have no parking meters," the guide said, stunned.

The Philly Trip, however, is about more than just the details of city life unfamiliar to rural kidsfrom Northeast Oregon. The trip is also aboutseeing allthose famous places often featured on TV. It's about stepping back into history. Blackman said some ofher and her students' most memorable and life-changing visits were to the Arlington National Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol building, the Museum of American History, George Washington's home in Mount Vernon and the Vietnam Memorial, all in the Washington, D.C., area, as well as Independence Hall in Philadelphia and the Statue of Liberty in New York City.

• Peer editing program boosts 3rd-graders' skills

By Dick Mason The Observer

Twenty-five third-graders at Central Elementary School recently benefited from some big brother and bigsistertype ofacademic guidance.

The third-graders received editingadvicefrom about 25 La Grande High School students in David Westenskow's English 11 class. The LHS students helped the thirdgraders write papers they had been assigned by their teacher Kristy Boyd.

"It was a positive experience for everybody all the way around," Boyd said.

The Central students wrote papers about the day

they were born and something they have had success at.

The May session was about the fourth time this school year that Boyd's students have had their work edited with the help of LHS students. She said that her students enjoy making connections with high schoolers, noting that they look up to them.

"It builds a bridge and a connection," Boyd said.

Westenskow said he was pleased with how the session conducted earlier this month went.

"I was impressed with the way they helped the kids," the LHS language arts teacher said.

Westenskow said his students sharpened their writing skills in the process ofhelping the Central

third-graders.

"The best way for kids to learn is to teach," Westenskow said.

This was the third or fourth time Boyd has brought her students to LHS forpeer editing sessions.

Boyd has been having her studentsdo peer editing work with LHS students for about three years.

She often works with students in Westenskow's classes. The LHS English teacher has enjoyed participating in the program because it has been so successful.

He said thisisoneof many excellent programs in the school district, a number of which are overlooked in terms of publicity.

"There are a lot of good things going on in the school district. They are going on all the time," he said.

e or ames ir - ar so are orcom uer reac The Associated Press

SALEM — A piece of third-party software that hadn't been updated might have been the vulnerable point invaded by hackers of the Oregon secretary of state's website,a statereportfound.

The February breach took election and business records oNine for nearly threeweeks,delaying disclosure of campaign-finance information and forcing staff to handle many functions

by hand.

Citing security concerns, officials wouldn't name the suspect sofbvare but described it as an application development tool commonly used by governments and private-sector organizations.

They say the software has now been patched, and they're working to have future security updates installed

automatically.

The report was sent to state lawmakers on Thursday. Secretary of State Kate Brown is asking the Legislature's Emergency Board for approval to move money around to cover the $176,000 price tag for investigating and fixing the problem.

The secret aryofstate'soffice hasm ore than 1,300 types of sofbvare, said Tony Green, an agency spokesman. Many update automatically, but some require staff to download them manually. ''We are working toward a solution to remove the human element and providefor an automated method for providing patching updates," Green said.

Officials wrote that encrypted, personally identifiable information was stored on the agency's computers, but

they didn't identify the type of information, again citing security concerns.

The agency says it spent $176,223 responding to the attack, about a quarter of it on overtime for 17 employees. It also bought new hardware and sofbvare, including a vulnerability management tool that tracks which sofbvare needs updates.

It paid $72,000 to Virtual Security Research LLC for an analysis of vulnerabilities on the network and training to prevent future problems.

Another contractor handled communications with people who had informationstored in the affected databases.

About $5,000 was spent on hotel rooms and lodging for four employees who stayed in Salem so they could work through a snowstorm that made travel difficult.

PLEASANT HILLWhen the late author Ken Kesey and his pals, the Merry Pranksters, took their psychedelic bus ride across America to visit the New York World's Fair, the nation was mourning President John F. Kennedy's assassination and the Grateful Dead was not yet a band.

And, perhaps most importantly, LSD was still legal.

For their trip, they rode in a bus painted with brightly colored swirls, outfitted with a sound system and emblazoned with the word "Further" as the destination.

Sporting short haircuts and red-white-and-blue sport shirts, they had plenty of marijuana and LSD. 'The whole psychedelic scene came from that bus trip," said Kesey's son, Zane, who as a 3-year-old helped paint the bus and waved a tearfulgoodbye asitdrove away.

Now, on the 50th anniversary of the journey, Zane Kesey has launched a campaign on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter, looking

for a few good modern-day Pranksters to contribute

$200 each for a chance to do it all again, though on a different bus. And without the LSD. His father, who wrote "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," had been a guineapigforgovernment tests of the mind-altering drug and shared the experience at a seriesofpartiesat his home in the hills above Stanford University that became known as the Acid Tests.

They featured a local bar band called The Warlocks, which turned into the Grateful Dead. After the trip, the bus became the centerpiece as the Acid Tests went on the road.

After a road trip to New York with his parents and wife, Faye, to see the stage production of"Cuckoo's Nest," Kesey thought it would be fun to get his friendsto do another crosscountry ride that would serve as the basis for a movie, with LSD at the center, fiiend Ken Babbs said.

Man rescued aRer boat sinks off coast NEWPORT — The Coast Guard rescued a fisherman off the Oregon coast after his boat sank Sunday morning near Newport.

The master of the 28-foot fishingvessel Rip Rider contacted the Coast Guard at 8:20 a.m. to say his boat was taking on water. He was wearing survival gear and his radio beacon broadcast hisexactlocation to rescuers.

A Coast Guard helicopter found the man in the water and hoisted him aboard.

the family station wagon would not be big enough, so Kesey sent a friend up to San Francisco to check out an ad for an old school bus convertedinto a camper, with bunks and a kitchen,

Babbs said.

"I think it was $1,500," he said.

During the journey, the bus was pulled over by a policeman in California, got bogged down in an Arizona Riverand lostone ofitscrew to a bad trip in Texas.

In Louisiana, the Pranksters jammed with a piano player in a New Orleans bar. In New York, they rolled through the streets playing their homemade music and met poet Alan Ginsberg, who took them to a Connecticut estate to meet LSD guru Timothy Leary.

The movie never materialized as the new art form Kesey had envisioned, a victim of the film and audio tapesreproducing atdifferent speeds that couldn't be synchronized until 30 years later with the help of digital technology. Kesey died in 2001.

Texas A&M historian Terry Anderson, author of the book,"The Sixties," said the bus trip was too early to kick off the counterculture, adding that it was overshadowed by the Beatles and the signing of the Civil Rights Act the same year.

But the tapes and film gave author Tom Wolfe the material he needed for his 1968 book, "The Electric

Babbs said Kesey himself neverclaimed tohave startedthe psychedelicera, but he was happy to ride the wave. 'We were too young to be beats, and too

old to be hippies," he said. ''We were really our own thing."

People who want a chance to get on the bus must

invest $200, and pass a seriesoftests,answering questions such as whether they like movies about gladiators. The chosen will get a token to board the bus for a leg, and join in making a new movie.

Though not even born when the original bus embarked on June 17, 1964, Joshua Priest, 26, and Andrea Castillo, 21, of Menisee, California, are determined to get onboard.

GOLETA, Calif.— It was Friday night when Elliot Rodger's mother gota call from her son's therapist that he had emailed a ranting manifesto about going on a deadly rampage.

The mother went to her son's YouTube channel and found the video in which he threatens to kill people. She alertedauthoritiesand set off frantically with her exhusband to Santa Barbara.

By the time they arrived, it was too late: their son had killed six people and then, authorities say, himself.

"They're in deep, deep grief," family friend Simon Astaire said Sunday as he recounted the family's ordeal."Their grief which is nearly unbearable to be close to is as much for the lossoftheir son asforthe victims."

It was the second time in recent months that Rodger's mother tried to intervene.

In April, she had called one ofherson'scounselors after seeing bizarre videos he had posted on YouTube, though not the disturbing one he postedshortly beforethe killings, Astaire said. The counselor called a mental health service, which then called police.

Santa Barbara County SherifFs deputies who showed up at Rodger's doorstep to check on his mental health, however, weren't aware of any videos, the department's spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said. They concluded after their visit that

"Obviously looking back on this, it's a very tragic situation and we certainly wish that we could turn the clock back and maybe change some things," Brown told CBS'"Face the Nation" on Sunday.

"At the time deputies interacted with him, he was able to convince them that

he was OK," he said.

It's not clear whether the mother's concern about the videos was conveyed to the deputies. An email to the counselor was not immediately returned.

Doris A. Fuller, executive director of the Virginiabased Treatment Advocacy Center, said California law has provisions that permit emergency psychiatric evaluations of individuals who pose aserious threat,but thatwas never triggered.

Lawmakers call for tighter grip on VA hospitals The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The chairmen of House and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees on Sunday decried long waits and backlogs at the nations VA hospitals but stoppedshortofcallingfor the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.

'You've got an entrenched bureaucracy that exists out there that is not held accountable, that is shooting forgoals,goalsthatarenot helping the veterans," said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House panel "I think some people may by cooking the books" to suggest waiting times are shorter that they actually are, said Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who chairs the counterpart Senate committee.

Both chairmen were interviewed on CNN's "State of the Union."

Meanwhile, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said on CBS'"Face the Nation" that the Justice Department "hastobeinvolved."He said thereis"credible and specifi c evidence of criminal wrongdoing across the country" at VA hospitals.

'%e're not rushing to judgment. But the Department of Justice can convene a grand jury, if necessary," Blumenthal said.

Lawmakers from both parties have pressed forpolicy changes and better management as the Department ofVeterans Affairsconfronts allegations about treatment delaysand falsifi ed records at VA centers around the country. The program serves nearly 9 million veterans.

President Barack Obama did not mention the VA issue in a speech on Sunday to U.S. troops in Afghanistan during a surprise visit.

"The VA really didn't factor into the planning for the trip at all," said Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser."The VA is obviously something he's going to continue to work on very hard in the coming days and weeks back home as well."

Meanwhile, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ,in a pre-recorded interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," called the VA's current problems "outrageous— ifthe allegations are documented and proven. And I suspect some

of them will be."

"They've got to be held accountable," Dempsey said, adding that Shinseki"has made it very clear that they will be held accountable," The department's inspector general says 26 VA facilitiesareunder investigation, including the Phoenix VA hospital, where a former dinic director says as many as 40 veterans may have died while awaiting treatment.

0$cials also are investigating claims that VA employees have falsified appointmentrecords to cover up delays in care. An initial review of 17 people who died while awaiting appointments in Phoenix found that none of their deaths appeared to have been caused by delays in treatment.

The allegations have raised fresh concerns about the administration's management of a department that has been struggling to keep up with the influx of veterans returning home from the wars in Iraq and

Afghanistan, and Vietnam veterans needing more care as they age. cYou know, if we are going to send people off to war, we have a solemn promise to make sure that when they come home, we are going to take care of them," Sanders sald.

The two committee chairmen appeared a day after the Obama administration agreed to recommendations from lawmakers in both parties and said it would allow m ore veterans togetcare at private hospitals to help ease pressure on backlogged VA hospitals dealing with patients from the wars on terrorism as well as treating old soldiers from prior conflicts including Afghanistan and Iraq.

The problem is not a lack of resources, said Miller."If money was the issue, this problem would have been solveda long time ago.

VA is not using the resources thatthey're provided appropriately."

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which help you stay healthy.

By Karen Kain Blueberries are second only to strawberriesin popularity.

They also have one of the highest antioxidant capacities.

Antioxidants are essential to optimizing your health. Blueberries benefit brain health and have been shown to improve memory and cognitive function.

They are also high in vitamin K, C, manganese, fiber and copper.

The good news is that frozen blueberries keep their antioxidant qualities.I personally just love them and I hope you will enjoy these two recipes.

2B — THE OBSERVER a BAKER CITY HERALD

A day to indulge in good memories It must be readily apparent to anyone who has peeked into my diary on a regular basis that my hometown is La Grande, Union County, for I write about it a great deal.

HOME 8 LIVING

DORY'S DIARY

marrying a La ' DQRQTHYSWART '<, Grande boy, ' FLESHMAN and living out life here after a 15-year leave of absence, the fact should speak for itself; however, life itselfhas managed to intertwine my family and me with three other surrounding counties — Baker, Umatilla, and Wallowa.

When I wrote for newspapers earlier, The Observer and the now extinct Eastern Oregon Review, they were both in La Grande, so there was no problem in anyone feeling left out.

Once my"Dory's Diary" column began appearing in the Baker City Herald as well as the La Grande Observer, I became increasingly aware ofhometown turfhaving encompassed much more than where I actually live. That may be why my thoughts often run to the Willamette Valley and the Salem area as well.

Every Wednesday I send my column to the Baker City Herald now rather than The Observer so that it can come out in both newspapers in the B Section on Mondays, sharing the front page of that section with Jennie Hagen's interesting garden column, which I read and glean facts even though I'm not a gardener. We also share the page with the cooking and recipe offerings and occasionally other writers. I appreciate their having accepted me into their fold.

Once that happened, I became increasingly more aware that George used to have Hall cousins living in Baker City and I have my Hofmann cousins inresidence there now. As well as family, there are members of the Daughters of the American Revolution iDARl where we meet in Baker City every other month, so my interests do run that direction near the Anthony Lakes area where we used to ski.

Looking to the Wallowa Mountains I find my family and George's living or having lived there — Enterprise, Joseph, Lostine, Promise, Wallowa, and having been a fan of the Wallowa Chieftain newspaper and the Octoberfest at Wallowa Lake — Swart, Fleshman, Willett, Pickett, Carper, and others.

Still the Blue Mountains tie me to Umatilla County where the Swart and Adams families met, married, and worked their way to La Grande via the railroad. Also bonded to Fleshmans, Rogers, Metcalfs, and friends there, the East Oregonian becomes one of them.

And, so, here I am now, tied with bonds of love reaching in all directions.

That I could go on with more names and more stories from all places, including reaching across the ocean where more tieshave been formed.

But, there is only so much space in each Monday's newspaper to relate any memories, and I never know from week to week what is going to come to mind, but in the diary of my mind they are all included and are processed within my mind in little bits of things that pop up now and then. If I'm not able to share them with my diary doesn't mean that I'm not enjoying them personally.

Too bad I can't tell you about things like Lawrence accidentally dumping his little brother Gordon out of the wheelbarrow and then running to comfort him in the safety of his arms.

Or how sister-in-law Marge celebrated her 94th birthday, cousin Maxine her 93rd, fiiend Orella at 95, and Aunt Esther coming up on 96. Or, even, how I'll miss June's letters now that they can no longer arrive.

I could tell you about George's experience climbing the Matterhorn in Switzerland as well as the one in the Wallowas and our trip together to meet relatives for the first time in Canada, one of the one's missed having been a Canadian Mountie.

There are things to remember like reunions with Air Force crew members; being in the middle of an earthquake in Whittier, Calif.; and thinking about, while I stood in the middle of the Alamo in Texas, those who had lost their lives in that tragic battle.

There are so many things to remember, to think about, to w rite about,to consider,sodiariesabout each one can exist and yet not fit the local area memory that folks seem to want to know about; however, surely &om time to time my memories can touch on those just beyond the circle of mountains that has been my home all these many years and my four counties of memories.

I think about them, particularly, on this Memorial Day.

CORVALLIS — If you don't have much space to plant shrubs, you11 want to keep an eye out for Oregon Snowflake, a new flowering currant developed by Oregon State University that is smaller than other currants.

This low-growing shrub is the first cultivar to come out of OSU's new ornamental plantbreeding program, according to Ryan Contreras, a plant breeder and assistant professor in OSU's Department of Horticulture.

OSU released the cultivar in March, but don't expect to see it in nurseries until spring 2015, he said.

The new varietyis one of a kind because its leaves appear segmented, similar to those of a fern, Contreras said.It'salso agood fi tfor small yards, growing to approximately 4-5 feet in height with an equal spread and a low, rounded shape, he said.

"A lot of other flowering currants get very leggy when they're growing, and once they are done flower-

LIEACS Continued ~om Page 1B Each year, the farmhouse, which was built by Hulda's parentsin 1889,isdecorated with a diferent theme in mind. This year's "Out of the Sewing Box" focus brought antique sewing machines, the dress forms Hulda used for her sewing projects, and otherspecialaccessories,for display in the various rooms of the house.

One woman, who actually was acquainted with Hulda before her death in 1960, recalled how she visited the Klager lilac gardens as a child. When one ofher fiiends commented about how much fun she must have had playing in the expansive gardens, she just laughed.

She said Hulda was a stern woman who was very serious about her gardens.

"There was no playingin Hulda's lilac gardens," she sald. iMaybe I shouldn't assume familiarity with Mrs. Klager; it's just that I feel like I've come to know her over these last two years and that we are kindred spirits in our loveforpretty plantsand flowers.)

Aroom at the fiontof the building, sort of an inside porch, is the place where Hulda did her work hybridizing lilacs. The 3V~acres behind the Victorian farmhouse showcase plants with varying blossom sizesand colors ranging fiom light pink to dark purple, white and even

Oregon State University developed the Oregon Snowflake, a smaller version of the currant. ing they are not particularly attractive," Contreras said.

"Oregon Snowflake is much more compact and more densely branched than other flowering currants."

This new cultivar of Ribes sangumeum 1s declduous and winter-hardy to Zone 6. It is well-suited for much of the Pacific Northwest, Contreras said.

The shrub belongs in the same family as currants and gooseberries, which includes

m ore than 150 speciesprized either for their fiuit or their ornamental qualities. The fiuit of'Oregon Snowflake' is edible but not delicious, Contreras said. ''We thought we'd name it 'OregonSnowflake'tocom bine its Oregon origin with a reference to its lacy leaves and white flowers, both of which are reminiscent of snowflakes," Contreras said.

Contrerasaims todevelop similarly low-growing variet-

Fragrances in the garden run the gamut fiom a faintly perceptible scent to an almost overwhelming aroma.

Hulda spent her life creating the different varieties.

The garden was wiped out when the Columbia River flooded in 1948, but with the help of family and fiiends, it was rebuilt two years later.

Hulda continued to open her garden to the community until her death at the age

The gardens are beautiful anytime, but those few weeks in spring are truly

splendid.

"Larger goals also include breedingfornew traitsthat make for novel cultivars, such as flower colors, leaf colors and improved form, especiall y compact forms," Contreras said.'We try to stay connected to the nurseryindustry and the consumertoprovidevarieties with traits that are lacking in current commercial cultivars."

For example, he is working to combine the weeping shape of Morioka Weeping katsuratree with the red foliage of Red Fox. The resulting red-leavedweeping cultivar would be the first ofits kind among katsuratrees, he said.

And this May the blossoms — at my house, anyway — are just in time for Memorial Day. Whenever we're home for the May holiday, we travel to La Grande where we will place the lilacs fiom our yard, and maybe some gleaned fiom the neighbors, in containers that will add colorto thegravesofour family members who are no longer with us.

It's always a bittersweet time, but one that brings happy memories along with a longing to once again hear a loved one's familiar laugh or to see the mischievous twinkle in ol' Grampa's eyes — a twinkle that our childrennever gotto seefor themselves.

Lilac bushes are a familiar sight at cemeteries, which makes perfect sense. They bloom at just the right time each year, bringing their beauty and &agrance to the grounds for Memorial Day as we honor those who have left their indelible marks on our lives.

Having said that, I must admit that upon returning to Baker City that second week of May, our own hometown lilacs made me wonder why I'd ever considering leaving town in search oflilac splendor.

Every yard in my eastside neighborhood claims a unique hue of the beautiful, &agrant bush.

Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the Allied forces in World War II — that's started a war among his admirers, lawmakers, the commission behind the memorial, the celebratedarchitectFrank Gehry, city planning and art experts, and the Eisenhower family. It will, in all likelihood, be the last memorial built on the mall, with stakeholders and lawmakers agreeing that the 2-mile stretch fiom the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol is maxed out.

At issue is the memorial's design, a unique interpretationthat featuresbas-relief sculptures based on two famousphotographs:oneof Eisenhower in uniform on D-Day addressing the troops, and the other ofhim working

A key approving agency, the National Capital Planning Commission, voted April 3 againstletting theprojectgo forward because it didn't meet three of seven required design elements, particularly because the columns and tapestries are so large they would impede sight lines to the Capitol.

Keesha Sarman walked with the bases loaded to score the first run for the Bobcats, then Delanie Kohr struck a sacrifice fly to send Roberts home.

AfterMoore stole third base, she promptly scored off an error. Sarman scored the final run of the opening inning on a close play at the plate in which she narrowly avoided getting tagged out.

hungry for more • The Imbler junior will seek to break her mother/ coach's record

By Josh Benham The Observer

Imbler's Emma Bowers nearly helped break a record her coach and mother held at the 1A OSAA state track and field championships Friday.

The Panther junior vows next year will be different.

Bowers ran on the 4-by-100 meter relay team that won the title with a time of 51.77 seconds. The Imbler record was set in 1986 by a team that included Imbler track and field head coach Heidi Bowers clocking in at 50.8.

"It felt really good, especially getting to do it with my teammates," Bowers said on running with Jessica Snider, Malia Hassan and Hannah Wilhelm."Although we were a little disappointed not getting the record, you can't be too picky."

'They told me they're going to get itnextyear,"Heidisaid.

Ifthe starsalign and Emma is able to break it with her team, it would be extra special knowing she knocked offher mom.

Emma was a two-time winner this past weekend, as she took home first in the triple jump ona leap of32feet,7.5 inches. For the coach/mother, it was a special experience seeing her daughter claim two state championships.

The Imbler girls didn't head to the OSAA state track and field championships looking for a title, but they nearly snagged one.

Behind their superb relay times, the Panthers scored 59 points to finish second to Condon/Wheeler's 65.5 points Friday in the 1A championship at Hayward Field in Eugene.

"I'm very proud," Imbler head coach Heidi Bowers said.awe didn't come in trying to bringin any team hardware, we just wanted to come here to experience the amazing track and do the best that we could."

The experience was particularly fruitful for the relay teams, as Imbler finished first in both the

4-by-100 4-by-400 relays. The 4-by400 team of Jessica Snider, Kristen Allstott, Malia Hassan and Kailey Smith clocked a time of 4 minutes, 18.73seconds toearn their besttim e

of the season.

"That was awesome," Bowers said.

"It was a team record we broke by five seconds."

The 4-by-100 finish also peaked at the end of the season, winning on a time of51.77.

"I can't believe it," Hassan said, who ran on both teams."I'm really happy to share it with my amazing teammates."

Hassan also placed second in the 400 meters, with Allstott joining her on the podium with her seventhplace finish. Emma Bowers, who raced on the 4-by-100 team, won the triple jump and placed third in the 100 hurdles.

Joining Imbler in the top five was Cove, which finished tied with Pacific at fikh with 28 points.

DelCurto led the way, ending up second in the pole vault on a vault of 9feet,3 inchestotie herpersonal best. She also claimed fifth in the long jump in the final meet of her high school career.

"It's pretty bittersweet being my last time," DelCurto."It's my fourth time Igottom ake to ittostate,and it'sbeen really greatcompeting at Hayward the last two years."

Teammate Morgan Reddington clocked her best time of the season in the 100-meter dash in 13.35, finishing third.

"I really do a goodjob of separating family and the team, but it was exciting," Heidi said."Any parent wants to see her kid be successful. I see how hard she works in practice."

Athletic success for Emma is nothing new, as she's also a standout in volleyball and basketball. Both ofher parents have played a major role in her sporting career, as her father Barry coaches the Panthers' girls basketball team.

"From the time my four kids were born, we've coached them in all kinds of sports," Heidi said.

Heidi also spotted Emma's natural talent as a runner at a young age.

"My mom always jokes that I actually started running before I started walking," Emma said."I 'vegrown up around sports being a track and basketball manager."

Emma, whose brother Eli alsocompeted atthestate meet, says at times her mother can be tough on her. Yet she knows it's for a reason.

"I know that she needs to set an example, and doesn't want me to get special treatment," Emma said.

Andretti falls short again at Indy 500 lbaka's return fuels Thunder win The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS iAPl — Marco An-

The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY iAPl — Serge Ibaka pointed to the sky, soaking in the cheers from the adoring home crowd moments before coming out of a game that just a few days earlier, he never imagined he could

play.

He scored 15 points in a dramatic return from what was thought to be a seasonending left calf strain, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 106-97 on Sunday nightin Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.

Ibaka started after missing the first two games of the se-

ries. The Thunder originally said he would miss the rest of the playoffs, but changed course Friday. His presence helpedtheThunder dominate and cut the Spurs' lead in the series to 2-1.

Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks took Ibaka out with 3:17 remaining and the Thunder ahead by 20. ''When you talk about a teammate, that's everything you want in a teammate," Thunder forward Kevin Durant said."I gained so much more respect for Serge for sacrificing himself for the team. Regardless of what happened tonight, that's something you want beside you."

dretti stood in hisgarage in thedays leading up to the Indianapolis 500, quietly recalling with disappointment how he had led many laps in the race but never the final one.

He led 20 more on Sunday. He still hasn't led when it counts the most.

Andretti' s bid to exorcise his family's infamous curse at Indianapolis Motor Speedway came up short when he was passed by Ryan Hunter-Reay with 17 laps remaining, and then couldn't get within striking distance ofhis teammate during the frantic final laps.

Andretti finished third behind Hunter-Reay and Helio Castroneves, who waged a dramatic duel after a red flag came out for a wreck with 10 laps left in the second-closest finish in history.

cWe never really dominated. You could say Ryan and Helio did,"Andretti said."The only way we had a shot is if those two got together. They were putting so many blocks on me that there was nothing I could do. Every time we got to the front, we got shumed back."

Andretti has now led 141 laps in the Indy 500, fifth-most among drivers who have never won. His father and team owner, Michael Andretti, tops that dubious list.

"I wanted him to get up there and ifhe can pass him, do it," Michael Andretti said."But I knew there were a few times he tried to get up there and his car didn't have the speed and downforcethere,and thatwas difference between Ryan's car and his."

The only time the Andretti name adorned a car that pulled into Victory Lane was 1969, when Marco's grandfather Mario was in the driver's seat. Mi-

chaelwas poised towin severaltim es over the years, only for fuel pumps and punctured tires and Lady Luck to spoil his chances. cHeran so strong for so manyraces and never found his way,"Hunter-Reay said.

That's starting to become the story of his son.

Marco Andretti finished second as a rookie at the Brickyard in 2006, beaten to the line by 0.0635 seconds by Sam Hornish Jr.— with his father close behind. And he was fourth last year, his car dominant in long stretches of the race only to falter in the waning laps.

This time, Andretti went to the front on lap 182 when he went around Hunter-Reay on the top side of Turn 3.

But his car just didn't seem to have the same power as that ofhis teammate, and Hunter-Reay went back around Andretti the next lap in the short chute between Turns 3 and 4.

Eastern Oregon junior Hans Roelle begins to pass John Hester at the final turn of the men's 800 meters in Gulf Shores, Ala. Saturday.

EOU Continued from Page1C struggling early on, but made his move right at the end to win."

During the previous NAIA indoor track and field championships, Roelle won the 1,000 meters, while Hester won the 600.

Roelle finished third in the 800 last year after nearly getting disqualified for pushing and shoving his way out of getting boxed in. Since then, Roelle has never been boxed in, while Welch said Roelle has evolved into both an immensely smarter and physically stronger runner for the Mounties.

"Being from Alaska, it was not easy for Hans to handle temperatures over 90 degrees today,"Welch said."I'm extremely proud of him. It's not easy to come in ranked No. 1 with a target on your back. Today he really proved that he is the best."

In the men's 3000-meter steeplechase, Lucas Updike startedoffin lastplace,but passed mostofthe competition one-by-one to finish fourth. Updike's time of 9 minutes, 6.87 seconds was 11 seconds faster than his previousbest,to earn his first all-American honors. second-place in EOU's record books behind his brother, Isaac, who sat out this season after Welch electedtouse hisredshirt. cWe hope to have both of the Updikes at the top competing for a national title next season,"Welch said.eThey will both be duking it out in practice every day and constantly pushing each other to get better."

D.J. Flores also took home all-American honors in the men's 5,000 meters after finishing second with a time of 14:44.07. Flores ran his last 400 meters in 59.3 with the last200in 27.4 toearn his fifth all-American honor between cross country, indoors and outdoor. Flores also finished fourth in the outdoor 5,000 in 2011.

"D.J. told me before the race that he didn't want to start off slow,"Welch said.

"He made sure he stayed on his pace and ran a very savvy

race."

Flores entered the race ranked ninth in the nation after winning the indoor 5,000 national title this past winter.

In the first women's event Saturday, Kadie Booth broke her own school record with atime of55.48in the 400 meters to finish fourth. Booth finished out her EOU track career with all-American honors in both the 400 and the 4-by-400 relay.

"Kadie has had an outstanding career,"Welch said."She has been a terrific leader for us, and I think she's really inspired a lot of runners on the team."

Freshman Harley McBride also came away with all-American honors for her performance in the long jump, finishing seventh with a jump of 5 feet, 6 inches.

McBride matched her career-best after finishing third at the NAIA indoor national championships this past winter.

In the last event of the day for the Mounties, Booth suffered through what Welch described as a bizarre and gruesome end to her career in the 4-by-400 relay.

"Megan Sullivan lead off with a strong leg to hand off in about fifth-place, Irene Olivo kept them in contention for fourth. Carlondra McGee-Woolbright ran a stronglegto hand offto Kadie in fifth," Welch said.

"Then, disaster struck once Kadie dislocated her shoulder as she turned her back to receivethe baton."

Welch said that Booth had a history of issues with her shoulder before the race.

In spite of the injury, Booth gutteditoutand earned allAmerican honors for herself and her teammates, as the Mounties finished eighth with a time of 3:57.95.

"A lot of people would not have continued after that," Welch said."I'm really proud of Kadie in spite of the fiustrating situation."

Concordia had the best overall showing amongst Cascade Conference schools with the men finishing third overall, while EOU's men finished one spot ahead of conference champions Southern Oregon.

best performance of the season in which she threw 10 strikeouts, Wright followed it up with another complete game, as she tossed four strikeouts while allowing five hits and four walks.

"Jaiden wasn't able to play her very best because of the pain in her hip," Phillips said."Still, she gave us a very solid showing and helped us accomplish our immediate goal of reaching the state playoffs."

The Bobcats followed up their immediate offensive surge in the first inning with another four runs in the second and two in the third.

"Our goal was to jump out early in the first game, and that's exactly what we did," Phillips said.cWe came in focused, and the four errors we made only cost us one run."

Delanie Kohr was the lone Bobcat with more than one hit, batting 2-for-3.

With their place in the state playoffs secured, Phillips rested Wright for the second game against Weston-
