Taylor said the day offers a chance for a"pleasant shopping experience" with fiiendly business owners versus never-ending lines and employees who would rather be with their families on Black Friday.

In La Grande, Taylor said, shoppers will have the opportunity to enter a drawing for gift baskets with each purchase they make at participating businesses.

Taylor, who was named the nonprofit's new director this summer, said business owners seem to enjoy Small Business Saturday.

"A lot of them really like it, even the ones that aren'tparticipating,"he said.'There's Black Friday and Cyber Monday — it's only fair they get their day for sales and to show the community what they have to offer."

Huntington K's mariiuanasales

By Joshua Dillen WesCom News Service

The Huntington City Council has made a final decision to allow marijuana dispensaries in town.

After deciding to ban them in September and then reversing that decision during its Nov. 17 regular meeting, the Council called a special meeting Tuesday to address the issue once again.

Huntington Deputy Recorder Shellie Nash said the city council decided they neededthe specialme eting to discuss the marijuana issue again and indicated that some council members might change their minds on the issue.

At the special meeting, Councilors Rhonda Bronson, Chuck Guerri and Cindy Deck were in favor ofbanning marijuana dispensaries.

Councilors Eileen Driver, Carol Allender and Jack Gerould were in favor of allowing the businesses in town.

Mayor Travis Young ultimately made the decision to not move forward with a ban.

His decision broke the stalemate between the councilors, according to Huntington City Recorder Tracy McCue. McCue said the decision

came after an hour-and-ahalf discussion that included topics such as marijuana odor, tax revenue for the city kom sales of the herb as well as how to move forward with restricting or regulating when, where and how dispensaries will be operated.

She said the council will alsoexplorethoseissuesata future meeting.

McCue said most importantly, the council wants to implement a 3-percent local tax onpotentialrecreational sales of marijuana if such a dispensary were to open.

She said as Huntington's budget officer, she would welcome whatever tax revenue dispensaries would bring in.

The local tax is allowed by Oregon law. There is also a 17-percentstate tax on recreational marijuana, which will takeeffectoncerecreational m arijuana dispensariesare operational in late 2016.

Currently, the only recreational marijuana for sale in the state is kom medical marijuana dispensaries. The dispensaries have been authorized to sell recreational marijuana, which is taxed at 25percent,by thestate Legislature until recreational dispensaries are open for business.

Shoppers buy'one last thing' on Thanksgiving sl

By Claire Withycombe WesCom News Service

BEND — On the morningof the most anticipated feast of the year, Kevin Campbell wanted to buy one thing. Lipton tea.

His companion at Newport Avenue Market, Jennifer Kemph, had a different idea: "No we're not," she said.

Campbell reminded her he doesn't drink coffee. But they still had to buy coffeebeans — "for everyone else," Kemph said — and milk, to go with the pie, of course.

Such negotiations — internal or with others — weren't uncommon in the aisles of the northwest Bend grocery store Thursday morning as customers sought the finishing touches.

In the baking aisle, AmyAppel was hunting for cornmeal, an ingredient she deemed"boring."A Portlander visiting her parents for the holiday, Appelplanned to make spoonbread and had also been charged with picking up drinks, vegetablesand appetizers.

Meanwhile, not far away, Adam Romines and Chandler Smith forgot maple syrup, which they said was a key ingredient in that morning's breakfast. eWe pretty much have Thanksgiving together," said Romines, who was visiting kom Jackson, Wyoming."It's breakfast you forgetto preparefor."

With nine people in the house for the holiday and all seeking pancakes, one-fifth of a bottle of syrup just wasn't going to cutit. They settled on two bottles of Canadian, 100 percentmaple syrup.

Amy Appel shops for cornmeal for a spoon bread recipe on Thanksgiving morning at NewportAvenue Market in Bend. that many people who come into the store Thanksgiving morning aren't typically in charge of shopping for their families and may not be as familiar withthe localgrocery store.

While family matriarchs take the lead on cooking, Anzaldo surmised, it's often"dadsand grandfathers" tasked with last-minute errands. He said one man had just come in asking where the mayonnaise was.

But in the produce section, Joe Marshell was armed with a simple list: oranges,bread,crackers and parsley. eWe came here yesterday and forgot parsley," he explained as he stuffed the curlygreen leaves into aplasticbag.

Sometimes it's hard to anticipate the tools necessary to get the turkey to the table — Kyle Piro, of Bend, wandered around the deli in search of meat thermometers.

Jarem Anger and his 4-year-old son, Gus, were in the housewares sectionin search of aroastingpan — butwhich one?

"I don't know, to be honest with you," the elder Anger said, when asked what he was buying for the holiday. He said he usually does the grocery shopping for the family and noted — as Gus evaluated cooling racks — he'd also come to the store forholiday"beer and goodies."

nee e America no longer needs to be reminded that we live in an oken hostile and dangerous world. We oken take solace in our 239-year-old safety, created through geographic conditions that places our country between two oceans, seemingly separated from the confusion and violence in other sections of

//ggrrr-

.

the globe.

If we have, indeed, secured a hereditary distance from the chaos that haunts other nations in the world we also built our Republic on a series of political and philosophical pillars unique to history. As Americans we take these concepts — the right to free speech, the right to keep and bear arms, etc. for granted and rightly boast of the expertise of our form of government.

No one even vaguely aware of our history can refute the fundamental fact that immigration is woven into the fabric of our collective narrative. By virtue of a subject, immigration is a controversial topic at any time but recently it gained a new validity of disagreement in the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks in France. Because we rest inside a presidential election cycle the legitimacy of the immigration debate typically gains new traction.

Presidential candidates Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina have all called into question the nation's immigration policies, drawing on the specter of terrorists infiltrating into our nation and linking such assertions to national security.

Claims — many of them patently false — have been delivered about immigration, Syrian refugees and immigration that draw on fear for fuel.

That there remains a risk regarding terrorists infiltrating into the U.S. there can be no doubt.

However, common sense dictates that there exists now — with leaky borders — better alternatives for fanatical terrorists to enter the U.S. Sadly, the immigration debate now is about fear.

And we have only ourselves to blame. Because no man or organization or nation can terrorize the United States unless we become willing accomplices.

Instead of drawing on the history of our ancestors and bravely facing what can only be termed as a new 21st century tyranny in ISIS, we search for easy answers to complicated problems. Wide-sweeping judgements are easy to come by, and trading in the innate courage of our founders for hysteria can be a tranquil action. In times such as these, the pillars of our Democracy — valor, audacity and resilienceappear to be fragments lost on the wind.

Yet we cannot dismiss our heritage. We are a nation of immigrants. A mammoth melting pot of diferent cultures and ideas and creeds that stands apart from the rest of the globe. We cannot suddenly sufer from an allergy to the ideals that stand as the bedrock to our Republic.

We've allowed a tyrannical group of misfits, reli-

undits like to complain that there are few voices from the Islamic world that condemn terrorist attacks by Islamic extremists. I run a small business that distributes editorial cartoons from around the world. With every major attack, including the recent attacks in Paris, I see a chorus of cartoons from Arab countries condemning the terror.

The pundits must not be looking at the cartoons.

Editorial cartoonists are typically the most influential voices in newspapers throughout the Middle East, reflecting theviews oftheirreaders.Newspapers remain important in everyday life in the Middle East. Editorial cartoons grace the front pages throughout the Middle East.

Arabic language cartoonistsare typically anti-American and anti-Semitic, but on issues of terrorism they are largelyvoicesofreason.

I often hear politicians complain about how the war with Islamic extremists is a battle for hearts and minds and we need to step up our role in an information war that we are losing.

Editorial cartoons could be aweapon on the front lines of that battle. By now Americans should see how powerful cartoonscan be;clearlythe terroristssee this,ascartoonistsare among their primary targets. It is difficult for Americans to comprehend that editorial cartoonsare important and effectivein the Middle East because we view cartoons as trivial jokes, leading us to miss many opportunities.

Until recently, the U.S. State Department had programs that brought

DARYL CAGLE GUEST CQLUMNIST

American cartoonists on speaking tours to the Middle East to meet their colleagues,and had reciprocalprograms to bring Arabic language editorial cartoonists to America. The programs sought to spread common values to countries where persecuted and influential cartoonists typically are barred from drawing their own presidents. These effective State Department speaking programs foreditorialcartoonistswere dropped at the time of the "sequester" budget cuts.

USAID-supported journalism education initiatives in the Middle East ignore and exclude cartoonists.

As international respect for America has plummeted, respect for many of our institutions still runs high. American cartoonists arerespected around the world, like American jazz musicians and basketball players. Middle Eastern cartoonists areeagertohavetheirw ork appreciated by American readers and by the star American cartoonists who they respect and emulate.

The Arab cartoonists push back againstthepressrestrictionsimposed by their regimes and envy America's press freedoms.

Everyactofterrorbringsnew recruits to the Islamic extremists in ISIS. They seek glory, selling an image ofbravery, striking back against the arrogant infidels in the West. Brandishing a gun demands a kind of respect. Fighting for

President Barack Obama recently claimed that he is already doing most of the things that his political opponents demand in the war with ISIS; he called on his critics to contribute new and constructive ideas on what should be done.

My recommendation is inexpensive and powerful: Bringback and greatly expand the State Department's shutterededitorialcartoon programs around the world.

The baskets had turkeys, carrots, two loaves ofbread, celery, flour, fresh milk, corn, peas, green beans, tomato sauce, eggs, pies and much more.

Many of the recipients of the food baskets were visibly moved by the generosityofthoseinvolved in theproject.

"One man couldn't talk ibecausel he was in tears," said Darrel Plank of VFW High Valley Post 4060.

Many of the items in the baskets were provided from the VFW post's food bank in Union. This was at least the 10th consecutive year that the veterans organization has helped spearhead this holiday season food distribution program.

Encompass made a contribution w orth at least$2,500 tothisyear's holiday food basket program. Encompassvolunteers collected food and cash donations at Safeway in La Grande,

OSP forensic scientist Nika Larsen, above, has been accused of stealing pills and other drugs and replacing them with overthe-counter pills.

Continued from Page1A made no public announcement of the change.

Until suspensions are lifted, drug evidence will be processedat the state'slabs in Portland, Springfield and Central Point. The Bend and Pendleton labs will continue to processothertypes of evidence.

'They put the brakes on these labs until the policies, practices and protections can be fi xed,"said John Hummel, the Deschutes County District Attorney, who is reviewing more than 500 cases.

"Obviously the controls were insufficient. The suspect had a relatively easy time doing what she did," he said.

WWW,LA G ANDEOBSERVER,COM "Statepolice are comfortable, for what it's worth, with these other labs testing drugs.

State police first alerted district attorneys on Sept.11 that Larsen, who had worked in four different forensic labs since she was hired in 2007, was under investigation for stealingdrugs,according to court testimony by Oregon State Police Capt. Theodore Phillips earlier this year.

After receiving a report of missing drugs, Phillips had performed an audit of evidence at the Pendleton lab, where Larsen was serv-

ing on temporary assignment. Larsen had bounced back and forth between the labs in Bend and Pendleton four times from Jan. 1, 2012, to when she was placed on leave Aug. 27, 2015.

Hummel and others have voiced concerns about how carefull y statepolicehave monitored the labs and what has been done when problems were found.

In late September, Gov. Kate Brown appointed a work group composed of lawyers, legislators and police officials to look into the issues. A meeting scheduled for December was canceled and a new meeting date for the group has not yet been set.

AT A GLANCE

Panthers improve to 11-0 Cam Newton is still perfect this season. Tony Romo is out for good with the same injury that sidelined him for seven games.

Newton got a big boost from a defense that returned two of Romo's three interceptions for touchdowns, and the Panthers ran their NFLbest winning streak to 15 regularseason games with a 33-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.

Romo injured the same left collarbone that sidelined him for all seven games of a losing streak that damaged the playoff hopes for the defending NFC East champion Cowboys (3-8), and will miss the rest of the season.

Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly intercepted two straight passes by Romo, returning the first 32 yards for a touchdown.

Safety Kurt Coleman picked off Romo's second pass of the game and took it back 36 yards for a score to help the Panthers become the 16th NFL team to start a season 11-0.

Lions win third

straight game Matthew Stafford tied a career high with five touchdown passes, three to Calvin Johnson, and Detroit routed Philadelphia for its third straight victory.

Stafford threw for more than 200 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover in the first half to help the Lions (4-7) take a 24-7 lead.

He finished 27 of 38 for 337 yards.

The Eagles (4-7) have lost three straight. They have allowed at least 45 points in two straight games in one season for the first time in team history.

Mark Sanchez started for Philadelphia, and he was 19 of 27 for 199 yards and two touchdowns.

By Ronald Bond The Observer

Hopes are high in Joseph as the Eagles' boys basketball team continues its resurgence underhead coach Olan Fulfer.

Fulfer, in his third year as the Joseph coach, took over a team that won just two games in the 2012-13 season and has quickly brought about a change. The Eagles won seven games in his first year and upped the total to 12 last winter, earning their first playoffberth in four years in the process.

What does the 2015-16 season have in store?

Fulfer hopes it's for Joseph to make some noise at the state tournament.

ewe have pretty lofty goals, and we think we can achieve them," he said.ewe want to make it to the state tournament for sure, and we want to do some damage there."

Joseph returns several players from last year's squad, including juniors Cayden DeLury and Aaron Borgerding.

"Both of those players have had an insane amount of improvement," Fulfer said.

Seniors Cody Stone, Wyatt Smith and Deni VanWinkle round out what will likely be Fulfer's starting five when the Eagles begin Observer file photo play Wednesday at Cove.

After a highly competitive Class 2A Wapiti League fall season, the league battles could be even more entertaining in2016,atleastbased on thetalent thatwas recognized atthe postseason coaches meetings.

Nine area athletes were chosen for the all -league teams, and eightofthe selections were from the junior class or younger. State champion Burns led the league with six honors, including junior Catherine Clemens being named player of the year.

Imbler received four selections, tying with Grant Union. The Panthers finished third at the district tournament and made it to the state tournament site, where they were defeated by Burns and St. Paul.

Heading the list for the Panthers was a pair of juniors, outside hitter Hannah Wilhelm and libero Tori Brownell, with Wilhelm also garnering a significant national award. Wilhelm was named first team all-league in addition to making the third team all-state squad, and Brownell was named second team all-league while also making third team all-state.

Wilhelm led the team with 323 kills, was second in digs (266) and was third in aces (37). She was named the MaxPreps/OVCA player of the week for the entire state after totaling 53 kills and 40 digs in four matches from Oct. 5 to Oct. 11.

The Enterprise wrestling team entersthe2015-2016 season with a squad dominated by youth, but not lacking in mat experience.

Of the Outlaws' 10 wrestlers, five are freshmen, and there is not a senior anywhere on the roster. But head coach Troy Farwell is used to most of the wrestlers on the team.

"I have two freshmen who have never wrestled before, (but) the other three have wrestled rn our club and junior high programs," the second-year coach said."I'm really familiar with my team.

The (other) two freshmen I coached in other sports but never wrestling. They're doing really well."

Adding those five to the squad along with a sixth wrestler who is out for the first time in Adrian Widener gives Farwell 10 on his team this year — double what the Outlaws had a year ago. eTo be at 10, that's a big key," he said."One thing that's going to hurt me is just that senior leadership and not having that.

JUVENILESEX OFFENDER REGISTRIES

Teen questions connection between sex and marriage DEARABBY:Iam16and a sophomorein high school. As someone who is exposed to social media, I see that many people emphasize sexas asign oflove.They seem to besaying a happy marrmge cannot survive without sex.

My parents do not have sex and are distant with each other. They have issues between them. I'd like to know if a happy relationship can survive abstinence from sex.

— ABSTAINING DEARABSTAINING:

DEARABBY: With the holiday season coming I want to offera word ofadviceto parents who are considering having Santa photos taken of their kids at the mall. I managed oneofthoseconcessions and saw the best and the worst of parenting. Forcing kids to get your memory photo of them screamirg in terror is rr'diculous, and I will add, not funny. Parents should take the time to ask the children if they want to see Santa.

Ifnecessary,theparentshould bein the photo, too. Don't tell the kids to smile and show their teeth. They'll look like the grill on a Ford. Don't wait till the last days, visit Santa when it's really crowded, enter a lorg line and then complain that the line is long.

And don't assumeit's safe or that the company cares .M y bosstold meIshouldn'thave backgroundchecksdonebecauseit"costtoo

much."Iordered them anyway,and when the reportswere returned, we had to have one o fthe Santas removed immediately fmm the floor.

— SANTA HELPER IN FLORIDA DEAR SANTA HELPER: Thanks for sharing your insight. I'm all for wanting to capture the memory, and during holiday time, temptation can be hard to resist. But forcing a child who finds Santa terrifying to sit on his DEAR lapfora picturedoesn'tseem

ABB Y

Because someone"expects" you to have sex does not mean that you are obligated to. The decision is a personal one, and if you prefer to abstain until after you are married, that is your privilege.

A girl who has sex with a boy as a way to hang onto him will be in for a disappointment. If the sex is all that's keeping them together, he will soon wander when he becomes bored and look for another conquest.

You askif a sexlessm arriagecan be successful and use your parents as an example. The direct answer to that question is, sometimes.

No two couples are alike. Some stop having sexbecause they have lowered hormone levels, which makes them less interested. Sometimes one partner isunableto perform becauseof a medical condition. This doesn't necessarily spell theend ofthem arriage.Italldepends upon the individuals and the situation.

COFFEE BREAK

By Rebecca Beitsch

WASHINGTON — After

like great parenting to me. A

better idea would be to wait until Christmas morning and take some candid shots of the child opening his or her presents at home. That way the smiles will be genuine and it will ensure a betteroutcome foreveryone involved.

DEARABBY: While I was nine months pregnant with my ftrst child, I asked my husband what he would say ifI had any problem during my delivery and he was askedtochoosebetween me or thebaby.His answerwas,"OfcourseI'd pick the baby because you can never replace the baby."His answerbroke my heart.Fourdays later,my waterbrokeat86 weeks,and Ithank God for giving me a healthy little boy.

While in labor, I was terrifted because I had some complications with my health at the beginning of my pregnancy. I can't getit outofmy headnow, becauseI feellikemy husband doesn't love me. I have tried to talk to him about how it hurt me, but his answer is that this is his belief and I can't charge that. Was I wrong for asking him?

— MOTHER INAMARILLO, TEXAS DEAR MOTHER: I don't think so. You were asking for his reassurance, and I'm sorry you didn't get it. If a child is delivered in a Catholic hospital, the policy is to save the child if a choice must be made. It appears this is also your husband's belief.

My advice is, dry your tears and remember that what he implied about wives being replaceable can also be said about husbands.

Perhaps it's time to give serious thought to drawing up a health care directive so that, in the event you should become unable to make decisions for yourself in the future, your wishes are clearly known.

WEEICLY FISHING REPORT

NORTHEASTERN OREGON

GRANDE RONDE RIVER • Steelhead fishing on the Grande Ronde is good right now. With the recent bump in flows, catch rates should remain high for the next few weeks. Fish are taking everything, including flies, lures, bait and anything else anglers want to throw at them.

The outlook for steelhead is currently great for 201 5-16 with nearly 21,000 Wallowa/ Imnaha fish set to pass Bonneville Dam, much higher than the average of 14,000.

IMNAHA RIVER • The river is fishing well for steelhead.

The recent bump in flows will bring more fish up from the Snake River and fishing will remain good. The outlook for steelhead is currently good for 2015-16 with nearly 21,000 Wallowa/Imnaha fish set to pass Bonneville Dam, much higher than the average of 14,000.

WALLOWA RIVER • Steelhead season is open. However, fishing doesn't normally pick up until later in the year and into the spring. Trout fishing has been good on the river with angers finding some nice fish. Fall caddis and mayfly hatches have been good, and fish seem to be keying in on them.

• The Wallowa is also a whitefish factory and can produce some large fish. Whitefish are native to Oregon and are a respected sportfish across the West. Whitefish can be great in the smoker and are a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing.

WALLOWA LAKE • Trout fishing has slowed. However, the pressure has dropped off with the end of the summer season. During the fall, stocked trout have been in the lake long enough that they start to learn to eat natural food. Try fishing with flies and other more natural baits. The lake has received additional rainbow trout stocking.

So far in 2015 in the Blue Mountains hunting zone, which has the highest cougar kill quota among six zones in Northeastern Oregon, 58 cougars have been killed by hunters. But the declining kill numbers are due to paltry hunting conditions rather than a drop in population.

The number ofhunters who buy a cougar tag hasn't changed much in the past several years.

In 2015, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, citing a computer model that predicts the statewide cougar population had increased by 9 percentfrom 2006 to 13,increased the cougar kill quota for the Blue Mountains zone from 245 cats to 270.

It was the first increase for the zone since 2006, when the annual quota went from 139 to 245.

Continued from Page1C The total mortality of 77 isaboutthe same, asoflate November, as in 2014.

Lastyear'stotalfor the Blue Mountains ended up at 95 cougars. That was 40 fewer cougars than were killed in 2013 and well below the annual average of 159 cougars killed in the zone between 2005-13.

But even two years of data — presuming the 2015 total remainsbelow the average of the previous decade — would not constitute definitive proof that the cougar population in the Blue Mountains is declining.

The number of cougars killed by hunters in two consecutive years is not a reliable way to gauge cougar populations, said Bruce Johnson, a recently retired research biologist with ODFW in La Grande.

Hunters' success at killing cougarsistoo dependenton factors other than cougar populations, Johnson said.

Weather, as Ratliff pointed out, is chief among those factors.

'There is no reason right now to believe that cougar numbers in the Blue Mountains are down substantially," Johnson said.

'figures are as of Nov. 20 ceded Ratliff as the head biologist in Baker County, said he never considered hunter success as an accurate reflection of cougar populations.

'You just can't say that a drop in success means the population has gone down at all," said Keister, who designed the computer model that ODFW uses to estimate cougar populations.

That the agency relies largely on a computer model, ratherthan on itsbiologists' eyes, to estimate numbers highlights the challenge in trying to figure out how many of the big cats roam Oregon.

Unlike deer and elk, which congregatein large herds at certain times of the year and can becounted trom aircraft with considerable accuracy, cougarsare generally solitary animals.

They're also secretive and elusive — some biologists will go years, despite spending much time in the woods, without actually seeing a cougar.

ODFW has tried to supplement computer modelswith more aggressive census-taking tactics, but the expensive of that work means it must be limited both geographically and in

pasttwo years,in addition to making it more difficult for hunters to track cougars in snow, have prevented deer and other prey animals from gathering in large numbers in small areas where feed is available.

During hard winters, Ratliff said, deer tend to congregatein certain areas.

Cougars naturally focus on those areas, and so do cougar hunters. But during easy winters the deer, and thus the cougars, are not so concentrated, which likely reduces hunters' success, he sald.

The bottom line, Johnson said, is that until more data are available, biologists can theorize about the significance of cougar kill numbers but they can't make scientifically defensible conclusions about the connection betweenthosestatisticsand the cougar population in the Blue Mountains.

'There are a lot of possiblecauses iforthe current decline in hunter success), but none can really be proved at this point," he said.

next two years, he said.

In the meantime, ODFW biologists will continue to track cougar harvest numbers.

If the harvest numbers remain below the previous decade's average for two or three more years, that would at least heighten biologists' suspicion that the region's cougar population actually is dropping, Johnson said.

For now, though, he and other biologists can only speculateabout otherfactors that could in part explain why hunters are killing fewer cougars in the Blue Mountains.

Ratliff suggests as a possibility, although he emphasizes this is a theory only, that the increasing population of wolves in the Blue Mountains has affected both thedistribution ofcougars and of their prey, primarily deer and elk.

Research in others states has shown that wolves can affect the movements of other predators such as cougars, Ratliff said.

He also speculates that the relatively mild winters the

During 2011-12, the agency employed trackers with trained dogs to try to gauge how many cougars live in the Mount Emily unit north of La Grande.

That project established a baseline population estimate for that area, which is part of the Blue Mountains zone.

But until the census can be repeated, there's no way for biologists to say, with any degree of certainty, what the cougar population trend is in the Mount Emily unit, Johnson said.

CHICAGO — TheAsso•

ciation of American Medical Colleges projectsthatthe nation will face a shortage of 12,000to 31,000 primarycare physicians by 2025.

So it's no wonder you may be finding it harder to find a doctor or to schedule an appointment with the one you have.

What's fueling this problem? The baby boom generation pouring into older age, an aging physician workforce preparingtoretire and an estimated 30 million Americans joining the ranks of the insured since enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010.

What that means is that you may not be seeing a doctor at all the next time you go for health care.

'The impending physician shortage is an opportunity to move to a health care model where the physician can be more of a quarterback on a team ofhealthcareproviders, rather than being on the front lines," said Dr. David Gorstein, managing director of Health Innovations, a health care consulting firm in Charleston, South Carolina, focusing on new models of health care. It's time to look to other, m ore affordable and accessibl e settings,he said.

Here are five options for addressing shortages and reining in costs.

Retail clinics Maybe you have a scratchy throat and suspect another cold, but there's a two-week wait to see your doctor. Or you're out of town on business or are self-employed without health insurance.

Typically located in pharmacies, groceriesand"big box" stores, these walk-in clinics began cropping up in 2000 and served more than 20 million patients in 2014, accordingto theirtrade association, the Convenient Care Association. To date, they number more than 1,800 in 40 states and Washington, D.C., offering lower-cost optionsforhealth services with transparent pricing, so consumers know what they are paying for.

Visits typically range from

$40 to $75 and address acute conditions, such as bronchitis and earinfections,aswellas provide immunizations and physicals. Usually staffed by nurse practitioners, who arehighlytrained registered nurses, some incorporate pharmacists into ongoing care iwhich is particularly valuable in medication counselingforchronicdiseases See Shortage / Page 5C

Unlike a more youthful athlete, "veterans" can't train every day.

If you think smoking is gaining popularity, think again. Far fewer adults are smokingtoday than in2005.Andthosewho are smoking? They're smoking fewer cigarettes, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCj. It found that rates of smoking have been declining since 1965. They dropped by about1/5 from 2005 to 2014. CDCused 10 years of National Health Information Survey data to compare the rates of smoking among adults 18 years and older.

Despite the heightened danger, deaths from cardiovascular disease among people with rheumatoid arthritis are declining, the research found. The study was among Mayo Clinic research presented recently at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting in San Francisco.

Other Mayo studies discussedatthe conference chronicled a significant increase in gout; examined rare intestinal microbes in rheumatoid arthritis patients; and discoveredthatpeople with rheumatoid arthritis use opioid painkillers at a higher rate than the general public, but that it isn't related to disease severity.

In the study on rheumatoid arthritis and heart disease,researchers looked at heartdisease deaths within 10 years of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis among two groups of people: 315 patientsdiagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis from 2000 to 2007 and 498 patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the 1980s and 1990s.

They also looked at heart disease deaths among 813 people without the rheumatic disease. Roughly two-thirds of pati ents studied were women, and the average age was 60.

They found a significantly lowerrate ofdeathsfrom heart disease in the more recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis patients than in those diagnosed earlier: 2.8 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively.

The study also analyzed deaths among rheumatoid arthritis patients from a particular type ofcardiovascular disease — coronary artery disease — and found those too declined in the 10 years after the patients studied were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

Among the 2000-07 diagnosis group, 1.2 percent died of coronary artery disease, paralleling the general population, compared with 4.7 percentofthosediagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the 1990s.

After several years of flipping homes, Tarek and Chrisdna El Moussa are ready to go

bigger.

Soon after welcoming infant son Brayden to join dcem and daughter Taylor, the couple begins Season 4 of their HGTV series

"Flip or Flop" Thursday, Dec. 3. While the premise is dce same — as dcey frequendy run into unforeseen hurdles once dcey've bought Southern California homes to renovate and sell, hopehclly for a profit, but without seeing dce interiors first — dcey undermtce more expensive residences in the new round.

Even then, Tarek believes "Flip or Flop" sill has value for viewers in any monetary

uibulations, the design aspects, dce financial aspects ... I think dcat's what keeps viewers

engaged."

So do dce very natural reacdons of the couple when dceyencounter the unexpected, which happens often, upon first entering a house dcey've bought. "Even dcough we've done dcis so many dmes," Christina reflects, Christina "I am still totally surprised by dce gross dcings we Bind. I actually swallowed a fly that El Moussa had just been eating a rat carcass." (Tarek chimes in widc mild glee, "That's going to be airing in December!" ) The fourdc "Flip or Flop" stanza is "a unique season," Tarek says, "probably our favorite season to date dcat we've filmed. We did some really cool houses, including a couple of million (-dollar)-plus houses, which nobody's seen before. Because we did high-cnd stuft we were able to do things we've never done."

Christina adds dce season's theme is "big projects, so we really stepped it up on design. We took a lot of dme."

Widc a special "Flip or Flop" holiday edidon set for Dec. 10, Tarek claims dce show's popularity — and his and Christina's fame — haven't impacted dceir business much. "At dce end of the day, it's still up to dce bank that's giving dce buyer dce loan to approve the appraisal," reasons Tarek. "Even if the buyer really wants the house and makes a high offer, if the bank cuts the value, somedmes tbuyers) can pay the difference and sometimes they can't. It just depends, case-by-case."
