Belinda Butcher worked for the Elgin Plywood facility for eight years but was terminated due to alleged job abandonment. Butcher filed a lawsuit against the company claiming it harassed and humiliated her.

By Cherise Kaechele, The Observer

A former Boise Cascadeemployee who was fired in 2012 has filed a lawsuit against the company, accusing it ofharassment Belinda Butche.r, 57, is seeking$750,000 in her lawsuit that claims Boise Cascadefired her after Butcher says she used her Oregon Family LeaveAct allotment and vacation days to carefor her dying father Butcher of La Grande is represented by Portland lawyer Patrick Angel. According to the lawsuit that was filed in September 2012, Butcher's time off from the Elgin Plywood facility began in March 2008when she had gallbladder surgery. Butcher applied for, and was granted, time off per OFLA guidelines. OFLA grants employees 12 work weeks off, which must be applied for and approvedpriorto the tim eoff,for the birth of a child, for a serious health condition of the employee, to take care of family members with a serious health condition or to serve on active duty in the military. The employee's physician, the employee and the employer all must sign off on the OFLA request at least 30 days prior to the leave. Employers do not have to pay the

employee for the time off under OFLA rules, according to the Oregon Employers website, but the employee has the ability to useallofhisorher accrued paid leave before using their OFLA leave. Butcher returned to work less than a month later, but she said she returned too soon and hurt herself, resulting in additional surgery. "I went back to work too soon and was back in surgery, which put me on leave for a second time," Butcher said. When Butcher came back from her second surgery, she could tell her employers were not happy about the time off. About that time, Butcher's father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Her father, who worked for Boise Cascade as anelectrician for 35 years,decided to forego treatment and spend his last days as happily as he could.

Butcher decided to take care ofher father, but had family members in the area who could also help, she said. She wouldn't take time off work unless no one else could help him. ''When I took the OFLA you could tell iBoise Cascade'sl attitude, disposition and body language had changed," she sald. "The only thing I wanted to do was be with my dad and try and comfort him to the very best of my ability," Butcher said. "I wanted to work and make a living and take care of myself. I wasn't asking for anything out of the ordinary or asking for special treatment. I just wanted to be with my dying father. "They made it crystal clear that if I returned back to work that I would be staying, or risk losing my position." See Butcher / Page 5A

EDUCATION

Resource officer making a positive first impression 5 Cody Bowen establishing student connections quickly By Dick Mason The Observer

The pace oflife around public schools in La Grande and Island City remains brisk midway through the second week of the new school year. The pace is a little too quick in the eyes of Cody Bowen, the La Grande School District's new resource officer. Bowen is finding that a number of drivers are exceeding the 20 mph speed limit that is in effect in school zones when students are present. "A lot of people have forgotten that they have to slow down now that school has started. They need to be reminded," said Bowen, a Union County Sheriff's Office deputy who is conducting traffic patrol at schools when he is not inside them meeting with students. The new school year is only a few days old but Bowen is already making a strong impressionas thedistrict'sfi rstresourceoffi cer in at least four years. The impression is one See Bowen / Page 5A

RETURNS TO HIS HOMETOWN ROOTS • Ian Clark returns to film movie in the Grande Ronde Valley By Dick Mason The Observer

Sometimes a 20-yard sprint becomes a mini marathon, something Zach Weintraubdiscovered Wednesday in a forest about 10 miles north of La Grande. Weintraub, of Olympia, Wash., is the co-star of"A Morning Light," a featurelength science fiction film being made in the Grande Ronde Valley about extraterrestrial visitations. A scene filmed Wednesday night called for Weintraub to desperately emerge from a tent and dash through a forest frantically searching for a girlfriend who had suddenly disappeared. The scene was shot about eight times and in each take Weintraub ran 20 yards down a slope and then back up it. Weintraub never seemed to wear down but appearances can be deceiving. "I was pretty tired but I thought it was fun,"Weintraub said. The actor made his sprints over the course of an hour as film director Ian Clark strived to get an optimal mix of shots. Clark thought he had exactly what he needed before discovering that only two seconds of Weintraub's previous run had been recorded due to a technical glitch. Still, Clark remained upbeatand unflappable,a ma n clearly in his comfort zone. "It is a gift to be able to do this work, to be able to work with such talented people," said Clark, who grew up in La Grande. Clark has made three feature films since 2009. His list of credits include "Country Story," about small town youthfi lmed in theGrande Ronde Valley in 2010. The film helped create a buzz for Clark, who in 2012 was sa-

Austin Will of Portland, an actor in "A Morning Light," is among those who have performed under Clark's direction before. "Shooting with Ian is amazing. Working with him is a dream. It is like working with your best friend right away,"Will said. The actor credits Clark with creating an atmosphere that has structure but inspires creativity. "He's relaxed and he knows exactly what he wants,"Will said."He is direct with it but allows you to experiment." All of"A Morning Light" is being filmed in the Grande Ronde Valley except for one portion that will be shot at Hoffer Lake in the Anthony Lakes area. Most scenes are being shot in the earlymorning and evening. "Morning and evening light is more beautiful. Itprovidesmore atmo-

sphere,"Will said. Clark likes coming to the Grande Ronde Valley to film because of the scenery it ofFers and the help the community provides. eWe get an incredible amount of support," Clark said. This is the first science fiction film Clark has made. It focuses on a young couple, played by co-stars Weintraub and Celia Rowlson-Hall of New York, who are trying to rekindle a relationship when they encounter extraterrestrials. "Itisa spooky portraitofcharacters,"

Will said. Local residents who will appear in the film include Dusty Decker, who lives at the site where much of the filming is being done. He is gladly helping to make it available to Clark. "Anything for art," Decker said. ContactDick Mason at 541-786-5386 or dmasonClagrandeobserver.com. Follow Dickon Twitter C IgoMason.

Rehab planned for bumed sagegrouse land The Associated Press

EASTERN OREGON

VALE — It could take a few yearsto rehabilitate the habitat ofsage grouse after wildfires in eastern Oregon this summer, say officials of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Plans for the work on two fire areas totaling more than 650 square miles in Malheur and Harney countiesare being developed, the Ontario Argus Observer reported. Larry Moore, spokesman at the bureau's office in Vale, listed some of the tasks in the wake of the wildfires: stabilizing the soil to prevent erosion; preserving unburned

spots within the fire areas as a source of seeds to rehabilitate sage grouse habitat; fending ofFinvasive species; and then for two or three years after the fire, rebuilding fences, replacing signs and making other repairs to infrastructure. The federal government is considering listing the sage grouse as an endangered species. One of the two fires, known as Buzzard, was by far the larger, burning more than 625 square miles in the sparselypopulated region. That's about 400,000 acres,

The master plan is intended to "forecast airport facility requirements, prepare a 20year development program and identify methods to implement airport-related programs for the planning period 2014-2034," according to state documents. With grant fundingin place, expensesfortheprojectwillbe eligible for reimbursement.

At the commissioners' meeting, they also approved a bidaward for anew patrol vehicle for the Union County SherifFs OIFice and a twoyear jail-use agreement with Wallowa County. Wallowa County contracts with the Union County Jail to house inmates. The new agreement amounts to $55 per day per prisoner in the first year and $56 per day per prisoner In the second year. County commissioners also discussed partnering with the Baker Soil and Water Conservation District becausesome ofthe district's lands come into Union County. The district is exploring whether Union County would be willing to participate in an opportunity for landowners to comment on thepossible sagegrouse listing as an endangered species. Because some of the land is in Union County, commissioners would serve as a sort of"enforcer" ofCandidate Conservation Agreements landowners may sign.

On Sept. 2, 2014, Avista filed a request with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (PUC) to increase natural gas base rates by an overall 9.3 percent, or $9.1 million. If the request is approved, a residential customer using an average of 47 therms a month would see a $5.78 increase, or 10.3 percent, for a revised monthly bill of $61.75. We asked for this adjustment to recover capital investments to expand and replace the facilities we use every day to serve our customers. This includes, among other things, increased investment to update the technology that is the backbone of our customer information system and the replacement of natural gas pipe. As required by the PUC, Avista filed its annual Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment (PGA) in July 2014. PGAs are filed each year to balance the actual cost of wholesale natural gas purchased by Avista to serve customers with the amount included in rates. The PGA filing is separate from the general rate request and does not increase or decrease the

For at least a couple decades, Union County has been in dire need of a new courthouse. The old courthouse had many defects that made holding trials a trial. It is, without doubt, antiquated, outdated, perhaps the most unuseful courthouse in Oregon. It was time for a change. When co~ o n ers at last saw awindow ofopportunity with funding from the state, they leaped through thatwindow. They had to act fast. The window was closing quickly. The countywould lose $2 million in funding(the entire projectis set to cost $3.1million) for the new courthouse ifit could notproceed in a timely~on according to the Department of Justice contract. The countyhopes to break ground on the new courthouse in February, and the Shelter From the Storm building, on whosefootprint the courthouse is to be built, would have to be razed prior to that. The commissioners, however, acted too hastily in picking a courthouse design that would necessitate the razing of a less than 20-year-old building built specifically for the unique needs of Shelter From the Storm, the domestic violence and sexual assault crisis center. Now a judge has tossed out the shelter's lawsuit. The decision came as no surprise. The shelter had sought an injunction in order to stay at its advocacy center located on the county campus. The lawsuit was a last-ditch e6ort to save the building, clearing way for the courthouse plan and building to proceed. Only in America, however, do you see a less than 20-year-ol d building torn down to make way for new construction. The center was built with a Community Development Block Grant in 1998 and specifically designedto meet shelterneeds. Union County, of course, owns both the property the advocacy center sits on and the building itself so has the right to proceed as it sees fit. Yet commissioners are also obligated, at least on a human level, to help the shelter meet the important needs it serves in the community. They do not need to be seen as the bull in the china shop, but that is how some are viewing this predicament. When people complain about wasteful federal spending, of government waste and inefficiency, and it happens frequently, they should look no further than this example. Questions remain. Couldn't the Shelter From the Storm have been incorporated into the new courthouse design? Several options allowed for this. Commissioners said the plan to build the new courthouse on the shelter footprint made common sense and was the most cost effective of the seven options County Planner Hanley Jenkins presented. Cost is important. Yet it should not take precedence over community needs. A win-win situation may still be possible. Yet county commissioners and shelter officials need to get together, seek reconciliation and find common ground on a plan moving forward that works for both parties. Such a plan will not be seen as ideal, most likely, but with due deliberation a problem implies a solution. The shelter provides services for some of the most vulnerable in our community and deserves full support in getting an adequate facility that meets its needs to move forward. The community needs a courthouse. The community needs a shelter. It does not need to have a functioning courthouse and a nonfunctioning shelter.

started in this business as a sportswriter. A part-time sportswriter, actually. Long enough ago that I really hesitate to even talk about the year. Early on in my sportswriting career, I tended to view each sport through a different lens, focusing on the ones I had the most knowledge of. At that time, sports like football and wrestling were pretty easy for me to cover because I played both in high school, was a fan ofboth and knew a great deal about them. Other sports like volleyball and soccer, I had to learn. Quickly. Because, as I also learned,deadline and the readers held no reprieve. You either made deadline or not and readers know when sportswriters don't know what they're writing about. It was trial by fire for several months. Eventually, I figured it out well enough tobe able to coversportsfor eight years, on and ofE at three different newspapers. Eventually, I made the move out of sportsto thenews side.Iwasglad for the upward mobility, but I concede there is a big part of me I left behind on those autumn football fields.

ANDREW CUTLER That initial experience probably explains, at least partially, my enthusiasm forthe 2014 edition ofThe Observer's Kickoff magazine that was in Monday's paper. Kickoff marks a return of The Observer's in-depth review ofarea prep football teams and upcoming season previews. The magazine, a joint product with our sister paper, the Baker City Herald, is a benchmark of sorts. It signals, at least to me, that a changing of the season — from summer to fall — is just around the corner. Italsomeans the sportsdepartment is gearing up for the busiest next nine months of the year. The long days of summer will quickly fade away, and the fall, winter and spring sports schedules will be, as always, a grind. I know the hours the sports department will put in. I've been there. And I'm familiar with the type of challenges that my sports department will face. Still, sports, and specifically prep

sports, arefullofa specialtype ofpureness diKcult to find anywhere else. That's what makes covering local high school athletics such an honor for any sportswriter worth his or her salt. The Kickoff magazine highlighted in-depth analysis and previews of area teams and leagues. The success of the section this year rests firmly on the shoulders of the newsroom and the advertising department, along with such individual standoutsas sportseditor EricAvissar, sportswriter Josh Benham, composing supervisor Dorothy Kautz and photographer Cherise Kaechele. Avissar and Benham did nearly all the stories, while Kautz designed the cover and Kaechele was instrumental in making sure photos and illustrations were done. Watching a bunch of talented individuals in the newsroom, production departmentand advertising tackle the project was gratifying and it really reinforced what a small staff at a small newspaper can do.

According to the lawsuit, in October 2009 she was written up by a supervisor for absenteeism and given a three-day suspension while she was on vacation time taking care ofher father. It was neither the first nor the last time she was punished for taking time off under OFLA, Butcher says. She said Boise Cascade also accused her of taking long weekends. The company fired her, claiming job abandonment, in April 2010, but Butcher filed a grievance through her union. Boise Cascade reinstated herjob with back pay, according to the lawsuit. "Boise Cascade made things very difficult for me mentally, physically and financially because I was always being disciplined for one reason or another and suspended for one reason or another," Butcher said. "And through all of this, the union was very much involved and filed numerous grievances." She wasgiven a formal reprimand for taking too long of a break, she said. A month later, she was again accused of taking a long break and suspended. An investigation took place and Boise Cascade could not prove she had taken a long break, so she received back pay for the time suspended, according to the lawsuit. "It all ran into a chain of command," Butcher said.

"He teaches lessons before the law is broken," Jackman sald. McKinney noted that Bowen is aided by a familiarity with many students at the middle school, whom he has gotten to know while coaching youth sports. Talia Whitmore, an LHS sophomore, said Bowen's presence makes her feel more secure. "I feel like if a bad guy walks into school he won't do anything bad after seeing him,"Whitmore said. Bowen, whose position is funded by the school district and the Union County Sheriff's 0$ce, said he finds himself counseling young people in the school district every day. "Ninety percent of my job is talking to people and resolving situations," he said. 'The last thing I want to do is take people to jail or write tickets.

"Ihave about IOyears until retirement,"he said.

By Will Bowman ForThe Observer

Just in front of the Oregon capital building in Salem, stands an iron gray statue: a manin acape on a horse, hair parted down the middle, left hand firmly on his reins, his right holding up a Bible, a book into which he buries his head and reads as he rides. He rides across the Siskiyous, Cascades, or the Eastern Oregon plains, all the way to his next passel of congregants, congregants waiting for him to comfort, train and preach then, sadly, leave yet again, trudging out to his next stop on the preaching circuit, leaving the spiritual lives and community in the capablehands ofthelocal men andwomen he trained. He's a circuit rider, provenance of all Methodist/ Episcopalian clergy in the Grande Ronde, clergy which Pastor Steve Wolff sees himself returning to, one church visit at a time, with one key difference. "I have a bicycle," he said. Wolffpastorsthe 150-yearold La Grande Methodist congregation. And like the circuit riders of yore, Wolff also travels every third Sunday to other Methodist congregations in the Grande Ronde Valley to preach, visit, connect and train the congregations to continue in his absence. "I have about 10 years until retirement," he said."And I really feel this is what I am calledto doforthose last10 years."

the world, everyone is going to want to be a disciple.' But then we realized, hey, that doesn't work so good.It'sbetter to make disciples and let them change the world." So now, Wolff sees his responsibility to drive ior bike) his circuit, training local laity and congregantsinto leadership and service positions in the church. "People coming together to find their place in the body of Christ,"Wolff said.'That's what I think this community is all about," alluding to Paul's assertion in Ephesians 4:11: "And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, tothebuildingup of the body of Christ." But community build-

He tries to connect the church and the surrounding communities as well, he said, including Haven from Hunger, Neighbor to Neighbor, Mission's and More, the White House recovery center, K House College Ministries, seven Narcotics Anonymous groups that meet in the church, elderly care homes and much, much more. Bridget Thalmert, just graduatedstudent director of Haven from Hunger and twoyear congregant, said their community involvement is herfavorite facet. "Some peoplemay be doing something because they're going to get something on the big day," Thalmert said."Not because it's the right thing to do, not because it's what Jesus did. But in two years at this church, I've never encountered that feeling from anybody. They just do."

Pastor SteveWolff poses in front of the La Grande United Methodist Church's organ. "La Grande needs the little Methodist church as a center for community,"Wolff said. "And all the other little com-

munities need their churches as a center too." "Jesus was the community," Thalmert said."Jesus was

the church, the church is the community, the community is the church. There's your tripartit erightthere."

Riding the circuit Circuit riders, or saddleback preachers, were the backbone of western Episcopalian Methodist movement between1784 and justbefore the Civil War. At their peak, nearly 6,000 circuit riders servicedalmost 750,000 congregants. Each rider itinerated a preaching circuit of two or more churches. On their rounds, riders trained local "disciples" to continue sacraments, preaching and community development during their absence. However, by the mid-19th century, the Wesleyan church was losing this discipleship orientation, Wolff said. Wesleyanism split over slavery, and theclergy displaced their effort from raising local leaders to fixing societal and ecclesial issues themselves. "One of our rock star pastors," explained Wolff, "said we thought'If we transform

The mountain goats that amused and entertained us in the afternoon were a nuisance by dinner, and downright annoying as dusk settledoverour camp at Twin Lakes in the Elkhorn Mountains. It was Aug. 1. My daughter Olivia, who's 7, and my father-in-law, Howard Britton, pitched our two tentsin agroveofsubalpine firs at the northwest corner ofthelower,and larger,of this pair oflakes in a glaciercarvedbasin about 13 miles west of Baker City. We expected goats. Indeed I hoped that Olivia, who had never watched a mountain goat saunter across a nearly sheer precipice, would geta good look at a groupofthese charismatic animals. Thereisnobetterplace for goat-watching in the Elkhorns — probably no better place in Oregon, come to that — than Twin Lakes. Goats claimed this clifFencircled alpine basin as a favoritespotsoon afterthe first batch was transplanted in 1983 along Pine Creek, a few miles to the north.

The animals, which might be native to the Elkhorns although there is not universal agreementamong biologists on the matter, have in any case thrived in the mountains. ODFW oScials, who try to count the goats every summer, have estimated the population in the Elkhorns at as many as 306 animals, in 2012. The numbers have declined since — this summer's census turned up 176 goats — but the animals have long been common around Twin Lakes, said Justin Primus, assistant district wildlife biologist at ODFWs Baker City oSce. Moreover,the goats, unlike most other wild animals, rarely flee when people approach. The main reason, Primus said, isthatthegoatshave learned they have no reason to fear humans. ODFW has allowed hunters to pursue billy goats in the Elkhorns each year since 1997, but the number of tags is so small — this year's total ofeightisthe m ostever-

Mountain goats are willing photo subjects, but their lack of fear of humans can pose a problem when the animals hang around campsites in the Elkhorn Mountains. that goats, unlike deer and elk, which have thousands of people chasing them around for much of the fall, treat peopleas acuriosity rather than a threat, Primus said. "They're used to seeing people and having no negative reinforcement &om that," he said. All of which goes to explaining why, less than an hour after we had unrolled our sleeping bags and other-

Primus said the primary reasongoats are attracted to peoplecomes down toa singleelement — or,tobe chemically accurate, to a pair of elements, sodium and chlorine. Salt, in other words. Goats, like all mammals,

need salt to survive. But Primus said mountain goats seem to have an unusually powerful hunger for salt. They will even eat dirt if they find a patch of soil that's especially salty. People, of course, have an a5nity for salt, too. Freeze-dried meals, a staple for many backpackers, contain considerable amounts of the stufI: And then there's sweat. And, well, other bodily fluids. Hikers can hardly help but sweat while hiking to Twin Lakes — a trip of 3.5 or 4.5 miles depending on the route. And that sweat soaks not only our clothing but also, among other things, our backpack straps and trekking pole handles. Mountain goats love to munch on those items — and any other sweat-stained items we leave lying around camps, Primus said. Our urine, too, is quite salty, a fact of which the goatsare wellaware,he said. Several years ago the goats were so often hassling campers at Twin Lakes — gnawing socks left dangling from treelimbs todry,forinstance — that ODFW set out salt

blocksin several sites above the lakes, hoping to lure the goats away from campsites, Primus said. The strategy seemed to succeed, and the volume of complaints &om campers declined. Until this summer, anyway. Olivia, Howard and I weren't the first group this year to have goats not merely investigate our campsite but to ineffectsettlein. By dinner time during our stay the goats were grazing, in some cases, within five feet of our tents. We hucked several rocks in theirdirection butthe goats were undeterred — they would rrm away for a few seconds and then slink back and resume their meal. That, Primus said, "is the kind ofbehavior we're not wanting to see." Although no one has reported to ODFW that goats at Twin Lakes or anywhere else in the Elkhorns acted aggressively, it's impossible to predict the behaviorofany wild animal, Primus said. "In general they're just a nuisance, but one of them could mow you over or rrm right through your tent," he SRld.

winshome opener By Josh Benham The Observer

No. 23-ranked Eastern Oregon dominated Walla Walla University in its home opener even with Casey Loper mostly a bystander. With the senior middle hitter playing a limited role after tweaking her shoulder during last weekend's Concordia UniversityIrvine tournament, the rest of the Mountaineers picked up the slack in a 25-16, 25-14, 25-10 sweep over the Wolves Wednesday. Kasaundra Tuma paced Eastern with 11 kills, Kendra De Hoog added 10 and Emily Nay had seven kills and two blocks. cWe depend on Casey a lot, so it's probablygood forusto nothave her every once in awhile," the freshman Nay said."But obviously, we always want her on the court." Fellow freshman Isabelle Statkus chipped in with six kills and a team-high three blocks. Rachelle Chamberlain had 27 assists and Jessalyn Smith added 20 digs for the Mounties, who were never threatened. SeeMounties / Page10A

Seahawks beat Packers SEATTLE (AP)Russell Wilson made sure everyone knew Percy Harvin was healthy. Marshawn Lynch bullied his way to another 100-yard rushing performance. And Richard Sherman? He was just bored. The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks opened the same way they finished last season, with a blowout victory. "We'll always find something that we can do better," Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. "That's why we're so good." Lynch ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, Harvin had 100 combined yards rushing and receiving.

La Grande'sZack Jacobs pulls down a touchdown pass from quarterback Brandon Dall, as Ross Duncan looks on during the final play of the team's intrasquad scrimmage Aug. 23 at the high school. Jacobs will start for the Tigers tonight against Nyssa at safety.

In 2011, the Eastern Oregon men's cross country team finished 17th at the NAIA national meet. The Mounties followed that up with a 14th-place result the next year, and last year the Mountaineers took 11th. The team is banking on another three-spot jump this fall. "I think that we can make a similar jump again and go into the top 10," senior Hans Roelle said."Shooting for the top 10, that's everyone's goal." The Mounties break the tape on their season Saturday when they travel to Walla Walla, Wash., for dual meet with Whitman College.

possession, totaling 22 first downs forthe game, and held Dayton to just 29 rushing yards. "Our defense was pretty lockdown," Eckstein said."I think Dayton had less than 20 rushing yards gained until the last quarter." The Huskies imposed their will from theget-go.Afterforcing a threeand-out on the game's first possession, Levi Carper, who had three sacks, basically shoved hisblocker into the punter to block the kick. "Levi just dominated all game," Eckstein said of Carper."He had him hiking the ball early and drew a bunch of false start penalties. He dominated that middle. It was pretty impressive." After Elgin took over, a 15-yard scamper from Weaver set up McKay's first touchdown, a 5-yard burst up the middle for a 6-0 lead less than two minutes in. SeeElgin / Page11A

Hermiston priest accused of sexually abusing altarboy

Erom wire reports

Squirrel blamed for power outage A squirrel is again to blameforpower outages affecting about 8,000 Portland General Electric customers in Washington County. According to PGE spokesperson Melaine Moir, the outages stemmed from the Oak Hills Substation, located at Northwest Cornell

Road. The outagesaffected customers in Hillsboro and the Bethany area. Power went out around 8:30 a.m. and was restored around 10:15 a.m., Moir saId. It is the third squirrelrelated outage at the Oak Hills Substation this year, Moir said. Within a week after a July outage, PGE installed energized fencing around the substation. Unfortunately, another squirrel was still able to get in, Moir said. 'They give up their life forthis,"M oirsaid,adding that the substation is located near a wooded area.

Tigard police seeking 3 armed men Tigard police say they are seeking three armed men suspected of burglarizing a home Tuesday. A maleresident reported finding the men in his home in the 16000 block of Southwest Friendly Lane about 2:50 p.m., police said. The man soon told the intruders he was calling 911 and ran away unharmed. The suspects are described as having guns and dressed in red and white clothing with rags covering their faces. The three men left the area in a dark gray or green 1990s Honda-type car.Policehave notsaid how the suspects broke into the home or if anything was taken. The case is still under investigation.

Wildfire starter to

pay $7.9 million The fleeting impulse that drove Sadie Renee Johnson to toss a lit firework onto parched Central Oregon grassland was years in the making. The 23-year-old woman alreadyhad convictions for assault, theft, resisting arrestand other crimes fueled by anger and substance abuse, according to a filing by the U.S. Attorney's OffIce. She had been in and out of drug- and alcohol-treatment programs, relapsing each time. But on that July 2013 day, her impetuous decision to start a brush fire to occupy her"bored" firefighter friendsexploded into a ragingblaze thatscorched 51,480 acres, forced evacuations and cost the Bureau of Indian Affairs $7.9 million to fight, according to filings. That moment also will likely stay with her for the restofher life— in the form of minimum $50 monthly payments to pay full restitution — under a sentence imposed Wednesday morning by U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez. Hernandez, accepting the recommendation from attorneys for the government and Johnson, also sentenced Johnson to one-and-a-half years in prison and an additional six months at an in-patient drug-and-alcohol center. Johnson also faces three years of supervised release and must perform 200 hours of community service to helprepair thedamage to the burned acreage, Hernandez ordered.

A man who said he was sexually abused as a boy in the late 1980s by a Capuchin priest in Hermiston filed an $8.1 million lawsuit Thursday against the Capuchin Franciscan Friars, the Roman Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Baker and a Hermiston church. Accordingto thefederal suit, the boy was abused by Father Luis Jaramillo in the fall of 1988 and the winter

of 1989. Now in his mid-30s, the man identified in the suit as"John JP Doe" says Jaramillo trained him as an altarboy and then regularly molested him on parish grounds atthe Our Lady of Angels parish in Hermiston.

The suit alleges that Jaramillo was transferred from Los Angeles to Hermiston in 1987 after he was accused of molesting two boys. After the Hermiston boy told his mother about the abuse and that Jaramillo threatened to kill him ifhe resisted, the mother complained to church offIcials, the suit alleges. A Capuchin Franciscan supervisorasked Jaramillo about the alleged abuse; court documents say Jaramillo admitted to 'kissing the boyon the mouth and petting his legs and fondling his genitals." After learning of the confession, the chief executive of the Western American Province of the Capuchin Franciscan Order, the lawsuit

kids before he even came to Oregon. He admitted to molesting this boy. Then afterwards, they did everything in their power to protectJaramillo from going to jail, or from the truth coming out." The case was never reportedtopolice,but Jaramillo was transferred to a church in New Mexico forcounseling,according to court documents. Over the past 25 years, Jaramillo remained active in the church in Mexico, Argentina and the Philippines, the plaintiff's attorneys saId. OffIcials with the Capuchin order could not be reached for comment; the Diocese of Baker did not return calls.

CARDIFF, Wales — The U.S. and its European allies plan another round of sanctions against Russia if President Vladimir Putin doesn't withdraw thousands of troops from Ukraine. The threat of additional economic punishments came as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko met Thursday with NATO leadershere to discussthealliance' sresponse to Russian incursions. NATO member nations pledged 15 million euros about $19 million to boost Ukraine's security, and U.S. officials said they expected more announcements Friday on NATO plans for new bases in Eastern Europe to provide a speedierresponse to Russian aggression. Representatives of Kiev, Moscow and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe are scheduled to meet Friday in Minsk to discuss a potential cease-fire offered by Putin. Poroshenko said he's cautiously optimistic about the talks. NATO leaders were skeptical about the outcome.'While talking about peace, Russia has not made one single step to make peace possible," said NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. The White House is coordinating with the European Council to impose another round of sanctions if the talks don't work out, said Ben Rhodes, a deputy White House national securityadviser.He noted thattheleaders agreed thereneed"to be additional costsim posed on Russia for what it's done in Ukraine." He would not elaborate on which areas the administration would seek to target in what would be thelatestin a seriesofsanctions that White House officials say are straining the Russian economy but have yet to convince Putin to change course. Some in Congress have called on the administratio n to step up itsresponse and provide weapons to Ukraine, including Sen. Carl Levin, D-Micho the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, who recently returned trom a trip to Ukraine and Iraq and called it"very much in our interest" to provide weapons. The WhiteHouse has been wary ofproviding weapons to Ukraine to fight the Russianbacked separatists. The NATO summit in the south of Wales

For 13 years, the Rusty Riders Off-Highway Vehicle group has put in hours of work volunteering to maintain OHV trails on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The group doesn't just dedicate a day; they dedicate an entire week to help out theforestrecreation program. The group works with Whitman Ranger District employee Marty Harriman once a year to help complete projects on theforestthat otherwise could not get completed. "It doesn't matter whether we are working on the Blue Mountain Trail out of Unity or the Winom-Frazier Complex out of Ukiah, this group will always show up," said Harriman.'They will work wherever we need them to." The Rusty Riders volunteer every June following Father's Day weekend. They complete a variety of work including installing new cattle guards, maintaining existing cattle guards, pruning brush and trees in thetrails,removing rocks and other debris, putting up new trail signs and markers, picking up garbage, repairing existing signs, building new bridges, repairing existing bridges and riding the trails toidentif y areasthatneed to be fi xed by the OHV dozer. The group recruits volunteers from Dallas, Vale, Albany, Monmouth, Ontario, Aurora, Mulino, La Grande and Herefordtoparticipate in the clean-up event. They stayforatleasta week, sometimes longer, camping at the campgrounds near the area they are working. Usually at least 12 members participate; sometimes more than 20 people will come to help complete a project. The members provide their own four-wheelers and ATVS and provide their own fuel to complete the work. Often, they work out of the Unity area, but they are willing to assist anywhere the work is needed. In one week, the group easil y completes more than 200 hours of volunteer work. 'These folks are very hardworking, dependable, and fun," said Ha rriman. aWe appreciate all the work they do to help our program." June weather on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forestcan be unpredictable and challenging, often cold and spitting snow; however, the Rusty Riders never let thatdamper their spiritsor slow down their work.

Our diets are improving — unless you're poor The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Americans' eating habits have improved — except among the poor, evidence of a widening wealth gap when it comes to diet. Yet even among wealthier adults, foodchoicesremain farfrom ideal, a 12-year study found. On anindex ofhealthy eatingwhere a perfectscore is 110, U.S. adults averaged just 40 points in 1999-2000, climbing steadily to 47 points in 2009-10, the study found. Scores for low-income adults were lower than the average and barely budged during the years studied. They averaged almost four points lower than those for high-income adults at the beginning; the difference increased to more than six points in 2009-10. Higher scores mean greater intake ofheart-healthy foods including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, and a high score means a low risk of obesity and chronic illnesses including heartdisease,strokes and diabetes. Low scores m ean people facegreater chancesfordeveloping those

ailments. The widening rich-poor diet gap is disconcerting and "will have important public health implications," said study co-author Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health. Diet-linked chronic diseases such as diabeteshave become more common in general, and especially in the poor, he noted. "Declining diet quality over time may actually widen the gap between the poor and the rich," Hu said. Harvard School of Public Health researchers developed the healthy diet index used for the study. It is similar to federal dietary guidelines but features additional categories including red and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol. The study authors used that index along with government estimates on trans fat intake to evaluate information in 1999-2010 national health surveys that included interviews with people about their eating habits. The results are published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Hospital, foundation team up on projects G rande Ronde Hospital is utilizing three new patientcare projectson its fiscal wish list, thanks to a collaboration of funding from the hospital's budget and bridge-gapfunding from GRH Foundation and community donors. Funding new patient care projects is one of the main objectives of GRH Foundation besides raising money, accepting donations and utili zing thoseresources to improvepatient care atthe hospital or clinic. 'The board decided to

budget just over $235,000 forpatient care projectsthis yearforthe hospital,"said Foundation Manager Will Simons."That was enough to fund five of these projects. That's our largest amount of money for projects in a long time. This is almost double what we typically do for patientcare projects." Most prominent among those is the wireless OEC 9900 Elite Mobile C-arm for high quality, 3-D surgical imaging for inpatient and outpatient settings. It is manufactured by GE in Salt Lake City, Utah. 'The Mobile C-arm is a device that can go anywhere in the hospital and perform Xray images in real time," said Troy Juniper, the hospital's imagingservicesdepartment manager.'This instrument is especially useful in our emergency department, surgery center and ICU. It's also a big partofourorthopedicdepartment, which always requires imaging." The imaging department typically replaces its Mobile C-arms every 10 to 15 years, Juniper said. This recent purchase is its third replacement model, and it comes with improved image quality and computer digitizing capabilities. 'The dose of radiation on this C-arm is also lower," Juniper said."Since 2008, radiation doses have been reduced by 70 percent of what they used to be." In its first week of use, 20 patients utilized the new C-arm. The older C-arm will be sold back to the manufacturer, completely refurbishedand resold to another hospital. All the images produced by the C-arm can be viewed in real time on the system's computer monitors. The images are electronically stored on the hospital's PACS system and may be transferred remotely to any authorized SeeYerges / Fbge 5C

Pap smear samples are studied at Grande Ronde Hospital in La Grande. Pap testing, a medical ritual for more than 50 years, remains the best way to catch cervical cancer, which for years was the No. 1 cancer killer for women. But the potential for harm arises after a false positive test, sending women into unneeded treatment.

• Financial issues may slow change to new Pap smear recommendations By Markian Hawryluk VVesCom News Service

With the realization that a Pap test every year may expose women to greater harm than benefit, guidelines have shifted toward less frequent screening. But with so many women still being tested annually, experts are wondering whether physician reluctance to adopt the new screening schedule may be fueled by legitimate concerns about women's health or by financial concerns.

About the series This is a two-paitWescom News Service series Last week: Annual pap smears come with risk of harm for those at low risk for cervical cancer. Today: Are physicians ignoring guidelines for medical reasons or financial ones?

Pap testing is not a particularly lucrativeprocedure.Medicare

pays physicians about $46 to collect the sample, Medicaid an averageof$28.Butithasserved as a way to get women into the clinic on an annual basis. New

guidelines that extend the screening intervals to three or even five years could result in a substantial loss of patient volume and revenue, upsetting the traditional gynecology business model. "The office's contact with patients revolves around using the Pap as a reason to get the patient in," said Dr. Mark Stoler, a professorofpathology,cytology and gynecology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. 'You're used to filling your office five days a week with people who are coming in for annual screenings, so that you can also touch base with them on other health issues."

HEALTH TIP

Amateurgolftournament slated Sept.12-14

Your intestinal flora's appetite could be driving your unhealthy food choices, according to a new review of research. Gut bacteria appear to have the ability to influence our food choices for their gain. By tweaking your preference for sweet treats, messing with mood-altering hormones and even hijacking the neural highway that runs between the gut and the brain, gut microbes could cause you to scarf down foods that are high in fat or sugar.

The 20th Annual Grande Ronde Amateur GoldTournament is approaching with a entry deadline of Sept. 11. Entry fee is $120, which includes 36 holes of individual stroke play golf, range balls and one ticket to Saturday evening event (barbecue dinner and raffle). Register online at www.grh.org. For more information, contact the Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation at 541-963-1431 or foundation@grh.org.

nual Pap smear for the past 50 years, but that started to change in 2002. Now guideline-setting groups including the American Cancer Society, the U.S. Preventive Health Services Task Force and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology all recommend that Pap tests be conducted every three years as long as the tests are normal. Women w ho have a normal Pap testand a negative HPV test can wait five years between tests. Changing deeply ingrained practice patterns isalways challenging, but can be particularly difficult when the change runs counter to the financial incentives in play. SeePap / Fbge 5C
