WALLOWA COUNTY

By Katy Nesbitt, The Observer

The relationship between humans and dogs dates back centuries One o. f the first uses ofdogs in civilization was for the protection oflivestock Guard dogs remain an integral part of raising goats and sheep in Wallowa County Skye Krebs and his son, Cale, graze their sheep in Ione in the Columbia River Valley in the late winter and early spring and move them to Wallowa County in June for approximately six months. The Krebs have raised sheep for several generationsand rely on guard dogs to protect theirbands trom predators. Skye Krebs said he uses a variety of different breeds, including Pyrenees, originally trom Spain and France, and Kangals, a breed of dog from Turkey. Of awide variety ofguard or"sheep" dogsused to protectlivestock throughout Europe and into Turkey, there are a lot of similarities. Most are white, which can be easily detected trom wolves. In the last century in Eastern Oregon, guard dogs have beenused toprotectagainstbears, cougars and coyotes, but, historically, in Europe, they were also used to keep

«i ««

wolves away from livestock. Krebs said he uses between two and four dogs per band of sheep, as they are available. "Dogs come and go. When I need a new dog,Icallaneighborfor another pup," Krebssaid."It'slike atree-trade agreement. They patrol all the time. When they see a predator they bark. They are more of a deterrent than lethal control. When a cougar hears a bark, the dog/cat thing runs deep." Krebs' shepherds haven't encountered wolves in the sheep yet but graze in areas where they are known to travel. He said when wolves have a den near a band the wolves tend to defend their territory and attack the dogs. "The dogs generally lose," Krebs said. With wolves establishing territory throughout Wallowa, Union, Baker and

Umatilla counties, guard dogs' effectiveness against the wolves remains to be seen. As far as bears go, guard dogs are effective, Krebs said. Krebs said the dogs' natural instinct is long bred into them to protect and they need little training. Websites describing the various breeds say they can be difficult to train as pets. "They bond with sheep, but aren't superfriendly to people,"Krebs said. "They don't like other guard dogs or working dogs, but when they are with sheep, a light goes on. They are like fanged sheep and act more like sheep than dog."

• Wallowa County agrees to discount fees for Rahn Sanitary Service By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

ENTERPRISE — Wallowa County Commissioners voted unanimously to reduce Rahn Sanitary Service's rates at the county

landfill. At the county's meeting earlier this week, Commissioner Paul Castilleja said the county's only garbage disposal company approached him to have a contract agreement with county protections. "I have been working on that and thought we had that settled," Castilleja said."I assumed we were going into a graduated process." However, such a matter must be raised in a public meeting and brought up for a vote. Castilleja said he spoke with both Board Chairman Mike Hayward and Commissioner Susan Roberts separately about the issue on several occasions.By doing so,heavoided See Fees /Page 5A

Goats owned by Larry Davis and Nicole Bellows graze for noxious weed control in Wallowa County. This summer the goats are battling leafy spurge along Parsnip Creek and Leap Road north of Lostine. Their guard dogs protect them at night when they are bedded down from predators — primarily cougars and coyotes. Guard dogs are effective against bears as well. Time will tell if they are a good deterrent against wolves.

"Expect reduced speeds, traSc pattern changes and single-lane travel for eastbound and westbound travel with traSc separated by a concrete barrier," said ODOT spokesperson Tom Slrandberg. Single-lane traSc is expected to shift from the eastbound lanes to the resurfaced westbound lanes July 15 to accommodate resurfacing of the eastbound freeway.

a en Oregon, the joke goes, has two seasons: winterand road construction. Since the only ice now is in people's drinks, and the heat wave is Aexing its muscles, it must be road construction season. And that means Aaggers along the road trying to prevent chaos and anarchy. Even today, when air conditioning no longer means rolling down the window and letting in some oven-baked air, many drivers see Aaggers and see red. Drivers' trips are being delayed. Their precious time is being wasted. It's time to look at the bigger picture. Take the massive construction project under way this year and next on Interstate 84 up the canyon west of La Grande. Think of the smooth sailing once the project is completed in 2015 and of the three lanes up the steepest of the hills that will alleviate congestion and some road closures in winter. Plaggers who are working at the closed entrance to I-84 on the northwest corner of La Grande report encountering some overheated drivers. Some put up a real stink. Others think they can navigate a construction zone on their own and do not need to follow signs. Pace it. We are a country in a hurry. Every year it seems to get worse, as we rush from place to place, always rimning late. How much better for our collective blood pressure and overall health would it be to just takea deepbreath and practicepatience.W e can appreciate the challenges Aaggers face. Imagine standing for hours in the hot sun. Imagine having to explain to red-faced drivers thattheroad closed sign really doesmean road closed, and that the detour might take a fiveminute bite out of their day. People need to respect what the hard work Aaggers do and treat them with dignity. Driversneed tofollow thespeed signsin construction zones and drive carefully, especially when around workers. Remember, fines, already large, double in construction zones. Drivers need to slow down. Oregon's two seasons — winter and road construction — are as inevitable as the March winds that rattle the blacksmith anvils we use in this region for chimes. Any time we take a trip, we need to figurethat we willfaceroad construction and budget extra time. Leave home sooner. Plan on taking longer. Take a deep breath, exercise patience and enjoy the drive.

The woman in a wheelchair rolls down the sidewalk, dodging puddles. These are the invisible people. Perhaps you have been one, too. My first stint wearing the cloak of invisibility occurred during college when I got a job pumping gas. This was in rainy Eugene — motto:"At least our necks are above water." College in those days was less expensive. If you had a good summer job, lived at home with your parents, limited extraneous spending to 99 cents a week and commuted by bicycle through the monsoon season, which lasted nine months, you could get through without debt. Not today. Now college students, upon graduation, already have a debt the equivalent of a small house or a large car. When they go to buy a home, it is as if they already have a vacation home, which is the college debt. That water up to their necks, whether the grad lives in Eugene or theOregon desert,isdebt. Pumping gas was a chance to get spending money. Only problem is, I had the social skills of a wallflower. And many of my customers had the social skills ofa broad spectrum herbicide. Blame the rain.

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN constant cloud cover. Eugene is only 60 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Storms stack up offshore like jets waiting to land at a major airport. Mercifully, the storms take turns marching inland, with the rare 15-second sun break prompting college students to frantically race outdoors to work on their tans. Lots of people when ordering gas were rude and crude. Those were the kinder ones. The meaner ones looked right through me, didn't even see me. They didn't see a person, they saw a gasoline attendant. Occasionally, a customer would initiate ashortconversation and say please and, equally as astounding, thank you. Some would even try to make me laugh by telling a rain joke, such as,'What do you call two straight days of rain in Eugene? The weekend." Most customers, however, seemed in ahurry to gethome and kick thedog or

yell at the wife, kids and hippy-dippy weatherman on TV for causing it to rain. After a few days of dodging storms, both of rain andrudeness,Idecided 99 cents a week was plenty of spending money. Meanwhile, back at school, the

journalism professors were urging me to take the vow of poverty. I made it through school without debt. And when Igotajob atanewspaper and received my first paycheck, I felt I was absolutely rich, even though the paycheck barely paid for my spartan apartment and mac and cheese diet. Later, after a layoff from a publishing house, I entered my second stint wearing the cloak of invisibility. I got a temporaryjob asa toy stockeratGoodwill Industries. Shoppers would walk by and look right through me, not easy since I was a former shot putter in track and at the time weighed a whopping 240 pounds. The point is, as Booker T. Washington once said, there is as much dignity in digging a ditch as in writing a poem. And there should be as much dignity in pumping gas as in doing surgery. Work is work. The main thing is to care about what we do and treat others with the dignity they deserve. The other point is, try to see these invisible people. And if you feel inspired, talk to them. Try to brighten their day — and yours, too. Worst case scenario, you might get the cold shoulder. Best case, you might make a new friend — or at least hear an interesting rain joke.

Davis and Bellows winter theirgoatson theirfarm outside of Lostine and in the summer they are hired out to ranches throughout the region. This month, Davis is grazing the goats on Leap Lane where leafy spurge has been a thorn in the side of ranchersformany years.On a hotJuly day, Davis, his guard dogs and his herding dogs roam the hillsides along Parsnip Creek northwest of Lostine. During the day, the guard dogs hide from the heat in a culvert. Their job comes into play largely at night, since guarddogs are asnocturnalasare m ost of the predators they watch out for. Davis and Bellows also use a variety ofbreeds. Ringo, an Akbash, is the original dog the couple got when they startedrunning goats. Akbashes are from western Turkey.

Edna is with Davis, a Kuvasz/Kangal mix, on Parsnip Creek. The Kuvasz breed is from Hungary and Kangals are from Turkey. They also have a Sharplaninatz, a Yugoslav sheep dog, and a Maremma, an Italian breed. Davis and Bellows have four guard dogs, three with the grazing goats and one with the goats that remain on their farm. "They have an innate ability," Davis said."It' swhat they are raised todo." At eight weeks, a pup is put in with sheep or goats and raised with them. "They will socialize with other dogs, but prefer tobe with thegoats,"Davis SRld.

Four hundred goats graze along the country road and herding dogs help Davis get them where they need to go, but when the goats are bedded down at night, the guard dogs go to work. Around their farm, especially in the spring when the goats kid, coyotes come close to the herd. Bellows said one got into the goats and Ringo

Sterling trial put on hold LOS ANGELES (APj — A trial that could determine the fate of the Los Angeles Clippers was delayedThursday until after a deadline to conclude a $2 billion sale — and a scheduled NBA vote on the deal — but there is hope for more time. Donald Sterling has vowed never to sell the team and he's trying to block his wife's singlehanded deal with former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Attorneys for Shelly Sterling have accused his side of stalling tactics. Superior Court Judge Michael Levanasputoffthe next hearing until July 21 because two of Sterling's lawyers had plans for a vacation and a wedding anniversary. He set closing arguments for July 28.

Kershaw's streak ends All that Chase Headley's home run did was end Clayton Kershaw's scoreless streak at 41 innings. The San Diego Padres had only two other hits against the two-time Cy Young Award winner. Odrisamer Despaigne allowed just two runs and seven hits with seven strikeouts over seven innings Thursday night in his fourth big league start. But the 27-year right-hander picked the wrong night to pitch, as the Padres lost 2-1 in the opener of a four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The newest signee for the Eastern Oregon men's basketball program comes from one of the premier high school teams in the United States. Mountaineer head coach Jared Barnett announced Thursday that Miles Loupe, of Las Vegas, Nev., has signed his Cascade Collegiate Conference letter of intent, becoming the eighth member of the Mounties' 2014-2015 recruiting class. The 5-foot-9 point guard won backto-back state titles during his final two prepseasons,leading the Gaelsto a 30-3 finish in his senior season.

He averaged eight points per game, with six assists and three steals while starting half the games for Bishop Gorman during his senior year. EOU will be getting a hard worker and someone who earns respects, as his teammates awarded him the sportsmanship award at the end ofhis senior campaign. ''We are really excited to land another Las Vegas player in Miles Loupe," Mountaineer head coach Jared Barnett said."He is a lightning-fast point guard that has played for one of the best

high school programs in the country at Bishop Gorman. He started about half ofhis games this past year on a team full ofhigh major talent. He knows how to run a team offensively and has great defensive instincts." Loupe joins Kentrell Washington (Trinity Valley Community College), Case Rada (Sacramento State), Bryan McGriff (Grays Harbor Community

Elgin athletic director Paul Willmarth announced that the school' sfootballprogram has succesfully petitioned the OSAA to compete as an independent 8-man squad in the upcoming season, rendering the program ineligible to compete in any postseason. The move comes after Elgin went 5-3 playing 8-man football at the Class 1A level last season. Elgin head coach Brock Eckstein said he is not worried about keeping his players in spite ofhaving no postseasontoplay for. "After we went winless playing 11-man football in 2012, we won our first four games last season, and the kids had such a huge motivationboostafterthehotstart," Eckstein said.'These kids have worked so hard over the summer, and will continue to work hard because they just love to win. I know they're goingtobeready to go this fall, and I have full confidence in them." Eckstein said the success of Union opting to play 8-man football for three years until returning to the 11man ranks last season was a factorthatinspired him to petition the OSAA. ''We saw what they did, and decided numbers-wise, that was the best route to go," Eckstein said.'We had 20 kids on the team last season, so it was really difficult for us to play when we couldn't have full 11-on-11 scrimmages." Eckstein also said the decisionwas also a resultof Elgin High School's decreasing enrollment. Elgin is expected to have an enrollment next fall ofless than 100 students. Staying in the Blue Mountain Conference would have forced the Huskies to competeagainstthelikesof Grant Union and Burns, two schools with enrollments of over 300 students. See Elgin / Page9A

JOHNSON Continued from Page 8A to others. Thus, Johnson found a new outlet as a Kajukenbo instructor. Formed in 1947 in Hawaii as the first mixed martial art created in the United States, Kajukenbo blends karate, judo, ju-jitsu, kenpo and chinese boxing together. "Kajukenbo is a hybrid method of combat, not an art," Johnson said. As the owner of Racom Radio Communications, Johnson added that he is a scientifically minded person and remains focused on teaching his students more important skills than just the ability to fight other

people. 'There are no secrets in martial arts," Johnson said. "All martial arts is just applied biomechanics. Being a scientifically minded person, I like to break things down specifically and scientifically. "The biggest thing we teachkids are leadership skills and not being afraid of getting singled out. I want kids willing to be apart from the crowd instead of being a part of the crowd. That gives them such a big jump in life." Johnson, who turned 54 on Thursday, has 45 years of m artial artsexperience,and said he's only awarded five ofhis students black belts in Kajukenbo, as his students must earn a black belt in each of the five branches first. One of Johnson's students to receive all five black belts is United States Lt. Col. Brian Dean. Johnson said Dean went to Iraq as an intelligence officer in 2004, earning a bronze star for ensuring none of his approximately400 troops were killed in combat. He was also the intelligence officer for the entire 43rd Battalion, and ensured none of the 2,000 men under his supervision dieddue as aresultofa combat-related incident during the war. Throughout his experiences as a Kajukenbo instructor, Johnson said he enjoys watching the transformation

his students undergo over time. "I often have shy kids that come in that are being picked on and have a lot of personal troubles," Johnson said. "However, pretty soon you'll see them standing in a group of 30 to 40 people telling them what to do. Kajukenbo is definitely a lifestyle. No one everleaves thisprogram as the same person they were before because everyone changes. The students see themselves as having responsibility for their situations." Johnson added that one of the biggest misconceptions in m artial artsisaboutpeople learning how to hurt others. ''We believe the more you know how tofi ghtand protectyourself,the lessoften you'll have to," Johnson said. 'You go to blows and fight when you feel overwhelmed and have no other option. It's all about your perception and ability to handle the situation. "My program teaches you three levels of defense: How to protect yourself, how to protect others around you and how to protect your attacker." Rod Newell protected Johnson in 1998, when Johnson shattered his anterior cruciate ligament, medial cruciate ligament and posteriorcruciateligament in the middle of a fight. After Dean pushed his knee back into place, he was barely able to finish the fight. Instead of knocking him out, his opponent opted to simply land enough strikes to ensure victory, while also ensuring Johnson's already devastating injury was not exacerbated. Following the injury, Johnson saidthe toughestpartof his recovery was learning to trust his knee again. At the same time, Johnson credited the recovery process with lengthening his career in competitive martial arts and called it a blessing in disguise because it taught him how to become a more well-rounded fighter. "My knee injury forced me to become a more dynamic martial artist because when I was young I was a really powerful kicker," he said."I

SEATTLE — The hits keep coming for the Seattle Mariners. If only the runs would do the same. The Mariners lost their third straight game at home to the Minnesota Twins, falling 4-2 Thursday night despite pounding out 12 hits at home. They had 32 hits in the threelossesand scoredjust five runs. Thursday, the M ariners loaded the bases three times and scored just one run. 'You can only do what you can do," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said.'We hit the ball hard. It was just singles. We didn't have a lot of opportunity for first and third or second to home. "That just the way it is. I'd like to see doubles. It didn't

happen." The Mariners have scored just nine runs over their past seven games — going 2-5. During that stretch they have just two hits in 33 atbats with runners in scoring position. ''We pitched pretty decent here," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said."But they can hit. These guys can swing the bat. We've gone through a little of the same thing." "They have a great pitching staf. I've talked to Lloyd about it. You know they're

searching, putting those big innings together like everyone else." The Mariners were tamed by rookie right-hander Yohan Pino i1-2l, winning his first big league game in his fifth bigleague start. Throwing 100 pitches, Pino allowed one run and seven hits in five innings, walked two and struck out four. "iPinol was fabulous," Gardenhire said.'We gave him the game ball for his first major league win. We saw he had tobattleforit.H em ade it through the fifth, which was huge." Kendrys Morales had the big hit, a two-run double in the fikh inning that gave the Twins a 4-1 lead. Glen Perkins worked the ninth to pick up his 22nd save in 25 opportunities. Tom Wilhelmsen i1-2l made his first major league start after 191 relief appearances for the Mariners, never pitching more than three innings in his career. He worked 2 2-3 innings, allowing two runs, one hit and three walks with three strikeouts. McClendon used six relieversto cover the nine innings after Taijuan Walker, who would have started, was sent down to Triple-A Tacoma to keep him in rotation during the

While I was recovering and learning to trust my knee again, I focused in on everything I'd been taught on hand fighting, so my hand fighting skills went through the ceiling. That's the reason my career has lasted so long becauseI' ve become a lotmore balanced." Johnson took an aggressive approach to his recovery, as he ran a 5k nine weeks after surgery and defended his Hawaii Pacific Coast title 12 weeks after going under the knife while wearing a knee brace. His knee injury is is one of countless injuries Johnson said he's suffered. He has suffereda shattered ankle, broken an elbow, broken fingers, breaks in both arms, had his eye split open, broke

his nose at least 15 times and has dealt with several broken ribs. When passing by the Grande Ronde Kung Fu and KarateSchoollocated at 1308 Adams Ave., onlookers often first notice Johnson's dozens of trophies that he's won since opening the academy at that location in 1993. Johnson, who has two children and three grandchildren, insists he has learned more from his teaching experiences and is more focused on maintaining the school more than anything else. He added that he does not ever intend to turn a profit from the school, as he funds it through his work for Racom. 'Teaching Kajukenbo gave me a reason to keep learning," Johnson said."It's one thing to learn for yourself, it's another thing to look at how

a kid, woman or overweight person can protect themselves, and I've really enjoyed learning how to help differentkinds ofpeopledealwith challenging situations." Johnson, who served eight years in the U.S. Navy from 1980 to 1988, is always excited to take new students, and tailors his lesson plans to the specific needs of each individual student. "The beauty of Kajukenbo is that it takes your natural abilities, enhances them and gives you the abilities and weapons of all martial arts. Then you pick and choose what's needed in that situation. It's about protectingkids from people putting you down and the world pushing you back, and about taking on the world's challenges instead of backing down. I want thisto always be a place

All-Star break. The decision alsogave stafface Felix Hernandez an extra day's rest, making him available to start Friday against AL West-leading Oakland A's. McClendon also made the move knowing his bullpen had a 0.77 ERA with 63 strikeouts in the previous 18 games. Wilhelmsen had little trouble through the first two innings, throwing just 27 pitches. But he labored in the third, issuing a one-out walk to Sam Fuld before Brian Dozier singled. With Kurt Suzuki at the plate, the runners pulled off a successful double steal. But catcher Mike Zunino's throw to third sailed into left field, allowing Fuld to score and Dozier to reach third.Dozier scored on Suzuki's sacrifice fly to center. "It went pretty quick," Wilhelmsen said."Really quick for the hours of anxiety and the eagerness to get out there." He said he had the same routine. 'There's a batter in the box, it the same mindset. Let's get them out, let's attack, let's go. I'dlove to have another crack at it. It was fun." Kyle Seager, heading to the All-Star game on Tuesday, had given the Mariners a 1-0 lead with his 14th home run in the second inning.

where they can come where people can choose to learn from their past and move forward. I do not view this place as a business, I have always thought of it as a part of the La Grande community." During his last tournament in Las Vegas, Johnson saw his fighting career come full circle when he was asked to take a picture with one of the opponents he had just defeated. "A guy I beatinVegas asked me to take a picture with his family," he said."He asked me if I recognized the other men in the picture, and I said I did not. As it turns out, I had beaten his father, his grandfather and hisgreatgrandfather.I was holding his son in the picture, and he said, 'But my son is going to kick your butt.' Since I'll be in my seventies when he's ready, I will have quit competing by then if I'm smart. When he told me that, it really felt like a kick to the kidneys." Johnson still said he plans on fighting as long as his body allows him to, and is motivatedto keep competing because he gets a special experience out of fighting that he can't get anywhere else. "I love getting in the ring because it's the only place in the world where there is real honesty," he said.'You don't have anyone else's issues or conspiraci es.It'stw opeople walking into a ring where you know what you want, and they know what they want. There is no deception. It's just the most honest thing you can ever have."

Federal gas taxrevenues alone would cover about 70 percent of the federal money Oregon is used to getting, said Travis Brouwer, assistant director of ODOT. Congress isdivided overwhether to boost transportation spending with general revenue, and if so, how to pay for it. The bills approved Thursday would ensure suffrcient funding for current projects and avoid the need forthe state to essentially lend money to the federal government, Brouwer said. They would not, however, provide enough money to allow the state to seek bids for work slated to begin next year. "It's a short-term solution that doesn't really solve thelong-term prob-

Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who chairs the Finance Committee, and the committee's senior Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. Both the House and Senate measures would extend transportation funding through the election, but they differ in what sources would be tapped to generate the additional money.

EUGENE — An inmate who told FBI agents he was "at war with the world" has been convicted a second time for attacks on other inm ates at thefederalprison in Yamhill County.

Cornelius was acquitted of the most serious charge, attempted murder. He is now awaiting sentencing in both cases. Authorities said after guards removed Schultz from the cage, Cornelius took two other inmates hostage, holding the razor bladetothe throat ofone. He eventually surrendered without harming the other two inmates.

A hot, dry spell, he said, can turn land into "organic gasoline, just waiting for any spark or trigger." The hottest temperatures oftheyearsofarare expected in the Puget Sound area. The state Department of Natural Resources iDNRl already is fighting five fires. The largest is in Chelan County near Entiat; there are three in Douglas County

percentcontained as of Thursday afternoon, The Associated Press reported. The fir ethreatened about 60 homes Thursday, and the Spokane Lake campground is closed while crews use the site, according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center. The three fires in Douglas

County all were at least 50 percent contained. This year's firefighting preparations began two weeks earl ier because it's been so dry, said DNR spokeswoman Debbie Robinson. Fugazzi added that extreme heat and dry conditions usually don't pose a threat until August.

By Batsheva Sobelman JERUSALEM — The death toll continued to climb Thursday in the Gaza Strip as Israel stepped up attacks while amassing troops for a possible ground incursion into the Hamas-controlled coastal area. Medical sources in Gaza reportedat least10people killed since midnight, among them seven members of the al-Haj family in Khan Younis, and three others who Israeli officials said were militants involved with manufacturing rockets. Additionally, media reports said that five Palestinians in Khan Younis were targeted &om the sea by Israel's navy and killed while watching a World Cup soccer match. A volley of five rockets aimed at Tel Aviv was intercepted early Thursday, sending shrapnel into the streets and suburbs of the central Israeli metropolis. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the fire, launched shortly after three of its men were killed in a targeted airstrike. Sirens also sounded later in Dimona, where Israel's main nuclear reactor is located. Israel's military continued to build up its forces to expand the military operation launched early Tuesday and dubbed Protective Edge. About 20,000 army reserves have been called up so far, half the total number approved by security cabinet ministers. ''We are building our force in the ground and preparing for a possible ground opera-

EASTSIDE ' PRIDE OUTSIDE JAMES WHITBECIC

Love for outdoors awelcome

have a confession to make. When I started my little outdoor shop a few weeks ago here in La Grande, my first thought wasn't how to make money selling expensive equipment to unsuspecting tourists who forgot a pieceofgearathome. Itwasto fulfill a need I didn't think was being met — in a word, to serve the local community. I won't pretend that I'm not a business person at heart any more than this wasn't a project that needs to be profitable in order to survive. But what got me excited was the prospect that I could kill two birds with one stone — support myself financially while also supporting the local outdoor community. I was inspired by the idea that the people here seem to understand their outdoor environment in a way that I haven't quite seen before: as a thing to be respected, asm uch asitisto be appreciated. As a relatively fresh transplant I may be guilty of oversimplification. But hunters here don'tseem tosolely seetheir craft as a way to exploit their environment simply for the head on the wall, any more than backcountry skiiers live here only to collect bragging rights on every Eagle Cap peak. These are byproducts that aren't necessary to calling the experience a success. We encourage tourists to enjoy the area with their Big Elk Hunt, or a cabin at Wallowa Lake, while also understanding that they may not feel the same need to holistically contribute as we do. They may pass through with a contribution to our local economy, but sharing the outdoor wealth of our corner for more than just the change in our pocket is more important. The practice of this thinking in everyday life here blew me away when I arrrived, and I wanted to contribute in whatever small way I could. To say that was a new and exciting orientation for me personally would be an understatement — in the past, I have always been the person"just passing through" describedabove.IfLa Grande and our neighbors don't need what I have chosen to bring to the table, I am quite happy to head for the drawing board. I have never been a person afraid of starting fresh if the fit isn't there. Of course, it isn't about me and never was — it's about finding a way to plug in, to add a differentshaped cog to a grand engine you already had humming well before I was given an opportunity to show up and enjoy it.

After hatchery quotas are met, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will often use surplus steelhead to augment many of our local waters. This is in addition to the thousands of legal-sized (8 inches), trophy (16 inches and over) and fingerling trout that are released to provide recreation for area fishermen.

Outdoor folks in Northeast Oregon have agood many things to do when summer rolls around There's hiking camping horseback riding boatingand swimming Toss in alittle watermelon and a good game ofhorseshoes Many go fish.ing The Oregon Department ofFish and Wildlife has doneagreat jobofhelping ourdayson thewaterbecornesuccessful Exceptformaybe the Snake River impoundments, most of our wild fish populations simply can't reproduce enough to meet demand. Rainbow trout, for instance, don't spawn very well in lakes or ponds. So, fish stocking has become necessarytoprovide adequate recreation for this area's fishermen. Shahab Farzanegan, the department's angling education coordinator,suggeststhattroutstocking is an invaluable tool to getting folks fishing, both youth and adults alike. But, he adds, "there should be a level of consideration when stocking to create a successful experience, but not so many fish that it creates an artificial experience thatsetsa false expectation that fishing is good every time." Jessica Sall, fish programs communication coordinator with the department, says, in 2014, the agency will stock about 223,000 legal-sized rainbow trout in Northeast Oregon waters — along with 13,000 trophy fish and 29,000 fingerlings.

~~ ' ,

These fish come from the Irrigon, Wallowa and Oak Springs hatcheries. Along with that, the department uses a few surplus steelhead to augment the program. To learn a bit more about this state's fisheries angler education programs, you can log on to www. dfw.state.or.us/education/angling. To plan your upcoming fishing endeavor,you can find out where and when the fish are being stocked by logging on www. dfw.state.or.us/resources/fishing/ troutstocking schedule. This state's fish stocking programs are especially good for kids. The fish, in stocked waters, are plentiful and usually easy to catch. And, the waters supplemented are quite accessible. The end result is a good mess of tasty trout for the dinner table and a chance to cool the video games down for a few hours.

This state's fish stocking program is a boon for kids. It creates a great fishing experience for those just learning the craft, and a chance to learn about other wildlife, and nature in general.

WesCom News Servicestaff

verybody knows that in ordertoaccomplish something, be it big or small, you must set a goal. It doesn't m atter ifthegoalistolose 10 pounds,toeathealthierorto work out consistently. Although we probably all agreethatgoal-settingis necessary, the real problem is not setting the goal, but sticking with it. Talk is cheap, and if you really want to achieve your goals this summer, fitness or otherwise, you really need a plan. To help you get it right this summer, here are my seven

'r ". sa ,a

habits ofhighly fit people: 1. Set a goal. Similar to a business metric, you must set quantifiable fitness and health goals. For example, if your cholesterol is 250, give yourself the goalofgetting it down to 200 by your next checkup, as opposed to just wishing that number would go down. Take concrete steps, like limiting or eliminating your consumption of highcholesterol foods,likebutter, cheese, eggs and meat.If weight loss is also a goal, commit to a number, let's say 20 pounds, and figure out how many weeks or months it will take you to safely reach your goal. If you stay committed, you can safely lose 20 pounds in 10 weeks. If you want to improve your muscle tone and strength, give yourself a goal like achieving 10 perfect pushups in eight weeks, and so on. Otherwise you are just wishing forresultsasopposed to planning and tracking your success. A wish requires no action on your part, but a plan does. 2. Write it down. Some wise person once said "failing to plan is planning to fail." Write down every single thing you would like to accomplish to improve your health, diet and workouts. You are far more likely to reach your goals if you write them down. 3. Avoid portion distortion. Many people mistakenly think that working out is a license to eat not only whatever they want, but also unlimited quantities. Nothing could be further from the truth. With or without exercise, if you consume more calories than you burn each day you will gain weight. If you're aiming for a sixpack, guess what — it starts in the kitchen, baby. At the minimum, diet is 80 percent of the equation and exercise is 20 percent but you still have to do both. There are no shortcuts, and no amount of SeeGarrison / Page 5C

DANCING STRESS,POUNDS

By Tiish Yerges ForwesCom News Service

Zumba dance-fitness parties are gaining popularity in Union County, as their exotic Latino drum beats irresistibly draw participants to the La Grande dance studio of Belgium born instructor Annelies De Vriendt. Zumba is a Latin-based dance workout led by an instructor, who guides students through dance steps that strengthen and tone muscles. It's so fun that most studentsdon'tconsideritexercise becauseofitsappealing and soulstirring music. Whether it's cumbia, salsa, merengue, mambo, flamenco, chachacha, riggaeton, soca, samba, hip-hop, axe music or tango, Zumba helps dance away the calories. "Zumba is for everyone, children

and adults," De Vriendt said."So many are afraid to go to a gym. Don't be afraid. Come to Zumba dressed as you are. All that matters is that you're here with us." De Vriendt teaches Zumba classesather studioaswellasthe Grande Ronde Fitness Center in La Grande. To help eliminate the self-consciousness so many feel when working out, De Vriendt turns off the lights in her dance studio on the second floor of 1315 Adams Ave., and illuminates it only with a tiny string oflights along the floor. Participantsfeelm orefree to enjoy the class without all eyes upon them. 'There is only one rule in this class, and that is to have fun," De Vriendt said."Perfection is an illusion and imperfection is beautiful. So you might as well step outside of

Just in time for the peak of grilling season, results of a new study show that most consumers need to improve food handling and preparation practices in their own kitchen to help minimize the chancesoffoodborne illness. The study, conducted by University of California, Davis, emphasizes the need forincreased food safety education for consumers and contains some surprising resultsbased on observation of mealsprepared athome. Cross-contamination and insufficient cooking are the most common risks found while observing the handling and preparation of raw poultry. Among those participating in the West Coast study were households in Portland as well as Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. 'The most surprising aspect of these findings to me was the prevalence of undercooking," said Christine Bruhn, director of the Center for Consumer Research at UC Davis, who authored the study.aWe are now in summer, the peak season for foodborneillness,and these results come at a time when more consumers can benefit from beingaware ofbetter foodsafety practices.Even tips usually considered basic, like washing hands with soap and water before and after handling raw poultry, and never rinsing raw poultry in the sink, still need to beemphasized fora safer experience." The study and its findingshave prompted Oregon Department of Agriculture Director Katy Coba to lend her voice to the consumer education effort. Coba has recorded a public service announcement for the summer that focuses on proper handlingand preparation of poultry. "As we all know, food safety SeeSafety / Page 5C
