The Observer

It'sbeen a coupleof months since the first round ofburglaries in October occurred when 14 businesses were broken into.

Recently, burglaries have started again with three more break-ins in the last three weeks. Some of the owners of the businesses who were hit have made changes.

Mike Simonis, who works at R&C Family Store located along Bearco Loop, said the store has upgraded its security since they were broken into about three weeks ago.

Simonis said burglars took less than $100 and no merchandise as far as he could tell, but the store has made changes to its security system.

Employers brace for

workplace changes

By George Rede The Oregonian

PORTLAND — A handful ofbig changes are coming to the Oregon workplace in 2015, though not all employers will be equally affected or even at the same time.

The short list of major issues includes an increase in the minimum wage, the Affordable Care Act employer mandate, legalization of recreational marijuana and the expansionofpaid sick leave.

The new laws and requirements come from all directions, asa resultofstate and federal laws, local ordinance and voterapproved initiative.

Amy L. Angel, a partner with Barran Liebman, a Portland firm specializing in employment and labor law, says the coming changes are relatively few in number, compared to previous years.

During the drill, Laina Fisher of the county's health department put in a call to find out it would take seven hours for an ambulance from Portland to reach Enterprise.

The patient would then be driven back to a Portland hospital.

During the meeting, it was agreed that a nurse and a paramedic would travel with the patient on the ambulance to Portland.

Tim Peck, Wallowa Memorial's lead paramedic, said Life Flight won't fly Ebola patients because of the extreme closequarters.

Because of systems put

Anyone who returns to the U.S. kom a country with widespread transmission, primarily Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, areconsidered at least at a low risk.

Women can

have higher levels of hormone

By Lynne Terry The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Women who suffer physical violence kom men have higher levels of the body's key stress hormone, pavingtheway foravariety of adversehealt h effects.

That conclusion was drawn kom research by scientists at the University of Oregon and the Oregon Social Learning Center, which recruited 9- and 10-year-old boys in 1983. They mostly came kom lower-income families livingin neighborhoods with higher-thanaverage juvenile delinquency.

When the boys reached 17 to 18 years old, their girlkiends were folded into the study.

The researchers measured daily fluctuations of cortisol in more than 120 couples by collecting saliva samples four times a day — upon waking, 30 minutes later, in mid- to late afternoon and at bedtime — over four consecutive days.

Cortisol levels usually rise first thing in the morning, peak shortly afterwards and then decline rapidly. Researcherscompared the cortisol levels with the frequency ofinterpersonalviolence as reported by each person in the relationship.

They found disrupted cortisol levels only in the women, with levels dropping more slowly in the afternoon and remaining higher-thannormal late in the day.

Researchers have suspected that the system that controls cortisol production is adversely afFected by violence. Now this study, published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, shows that's the case.

uv.'

m n cri ca inves en Domestic violence does not take a holiday.

And neither does Shelter From the Storm, the domestic violence and sexual assault crisis center that o6ers both immediate and long-term assistance to victims, survivors and their families.

The shelter is busy this holiday season moving from its current headquarters on the Union County campus to a new location on Island Avenue. The move will involve a lot ofhard work and should be completed by Jan. 5.

Finding a new location for Shelter From the Storm comes as a relief to many county citizens, ending months of contentiousness over the county's plan to build a new courthouse on the old shelter's footprint.

The county will pay $75,000 to help with the move. It is money well spent. That the leaders of the shelter and the county could find compromise out of contentiousness, reach a middle ground and move forward so both can provide services in an efficient manner is a bonus.

The county needs a new courthouse. The county must have a shelter.

The way the matter was handled was far fiom graceful. It's a shame that a 16-year-old building has to betorn down. However, U nion County has been deemed the county with the most deficient courthouse of the 36 counties in the state. For years, officials have been seeking a way to replace the old courthouse with a new, up-to-date model that would serve the public better. State funding made such a move possible, but the window of opportunity could have snapped shut had building plans been delayed.

Lots of lessons can be learned fi om the courthouse saga. For one, more gets done when matters are handled civilly and with less combativeness.

Second, negotiation is nearly always preferable to litigation. Third, it's important to search for common good, to seek reconciliation and to move forward in the spirit of cooperation. Fourth, anger is not a productive use of energy.

During the crisis, many national headlines, especiall y related to sports,arose around theissue of domestic violence. A side benefit to the dispute, locally, is how it called attention to the Shelter From the Storm's mission. Domestic violence and sexual assault is not something that happens somewhere else. It has to be conIronted head on in the local community. It's important that victims and survivors and their families have the opportunity to take advantage of these services, and that services are available when needed. The shelter is an important part of the fabric of the community.

The county's money is well spent in giving the shelter the chance it needs for a fiesh start in a new location.

LL> Goodbye to the worst Congress ever T

he 113th Congress last week went the way of the dodo — literally.

The lawmakers of the 2013-2014 legislative session finally put themselves out of their misery but not before Harry Reid's Senate passed one final piece oflegislation: S. Res. 564, marking "the centennial of the passenger pigeon extinction."

This bipartisan legislation recalled the Sept. 1, 1914, death at the Cincinnati Zoo of Martha, the last of a population of ectopistes migratorius, once 3 billion-strong in North America.

It hailed the work of Project Passenger Pigeon, devoted to making sure Martha did not die in vain.

This commemoration of extinction was a perfect end to what was, by just about every measure, the worst Congress ever.

According to a tally by the Library of Congress, 296 billsw erepresented to the president by this Congress — nearly the same as the 284 presented by the previous Congress, the fewest of any Congress since the counts began in the 1940s. (The"do nothing" Congress of 1948 passed about 900.l More than 10 percentofthebillspresented were about naming or renaming things and awarding medals.

House Speaker John Boehner said last year that Congress should be judged not by laws passed but by"how many laws we repeal." To calculate that, you add the ones column, the tens and the hundreds, and you get — let's see here — zero.

Here is what Congress did achieve: The 113th Congress was responsible for the 16-day government shutdown in 2013,preceded and inspired by the "Green Eggs and Ham" filibuster by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.l. The legislative term also saw the criminal indictment of one House Republican on tax-evasion charges4e was reelected),theresignationofanother aftera cocaine arrest and the defeat of a third who was caught on film kissing a staffer. Perhaps that's because they had so little work to do: A Politico count found that the Senate was in session 141 days per year on average in this Congress, and the House 147days.

Lawmakers passed into law not a single one of the 12 annual appropriations bills this year and no budget resolution. The House voted on seven

of the spending bills, and the Senate didn't vote on a single one. Instead, they passeda seriesofcontinuing resolutions that left government spending on autopilot — further squeezing domestic programs and the military while doing little to curb entitlement programs that threaten the nation's finances.

House Republicans set a record for the number of"closed rules" — those blocking amendments — at 83, comparedwith a previous record of61.

Rep. Louise Slaughter (N.Y.l, the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee,said thisblocked compromise and created"the leastproductiveCongress in history."

In the Senate, meanwhile, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.l used a legislative maneuver to block amendments more times in his tenure than under the last five majority leaders combined, Republicans point out. Reid also detonated the"nuclear option" during this Congress, stripping decades oftradition that gave the minority the right to filibuster judicial nominations. He was so successful at bottling up legislation passed by the House that President Obama didn't have to issue a single veto.

Congress failed to take meaningful action on immigration, the economy, the tax code and the fight against Islamic State. But the House continued to hold votesto repealObamacare (more than 50 since 2011l and it spent $1.5million to form a new"select committee" on the Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attacks — even though several congressional investigations led by Republicans and Democrats alike have found no scandal in the administration's handling of the incident. House Republicans are also suing Obama over the Affordable Care Act. The gushing sewer of money into politics — some $4 billion spent on this year's midterm elections,arecordfurther undermined Americans' trust.

Gallup found that Americans' approval of Congress averaged 15 percent in 2014 and a record low 14 percent in 2013.

Disdain was shared equally by Republican, Democratic and independent respondents.

It's no coincidence that this worst Congress was also the one that saw the departureofitslastthreeWo rldWar IIveterans:One died,oneretired and one was defeated. Less than 20percent oflawmakers now are veterans — compared with about 75 percent a generationago — and fewer are able to grasp that their political opponents are patriotic Americans and not the enemy.

In January, eight years of Democratic control of the Senate come to an end and Republicans will have sole responsibilityforCongress.There'slittle prospect of improvement, but at least Republicans will benefit from low expectations: Americans assume Congress can fly no betterthan a passenger pigeon.

aWe're trying to be vigilant," Simonis said.

Across the street, El Erradero is still waiting for its window to be replaced which the burglars broke when they entered in October.

Owner Roberto Arceo jokingly said they don't want to fix the window if the thieves are going to break in again.

Arceohad a more positive, upbeat attitude about the break-in. He said he's not tooworried about arepeat offense and he hasn't made any changes to the way he runs his business.

He estimated about $50 was taken when burglars broke in.

Across town, Moy's Dynasty made an improvement to its front door, through which the burglars gained entry.

Quin Yu, co-owner of the Chinese restaurant on Adams Avenue, said this was the first time the restaurant had been broken into. Bur-

glars took $100 and a couple bottles of alcohol.

Yu said the doors are now made of tougher glass, similar to a car window, instead of the single-pane glass they had before.

She said she's had conversations with neighbors

Police said burglars smashed windows and busted doors to gain entry, causing extensive property damage.

Nature's Pantry and the Sub Shop were also broken into last week. Police believe those cases could be connected to the string of earlier burglaries.

STUDY Continued from Page1A making competence were more likely to have behavioral problems.

Weller said decision-making competence includes several components: Framing aWe put a spin on something and when we put a spin on something, it could change how you make a decision,"Weller said.

For example, he said, suppose one supermarket labeled hamburger meat as 95 percent lean and another superm arket labeled itas5 percentfat.A shopper might rate the 95 percent lean as healthier — but"if you are responding in a rational and consistent way, the 5 percent fat should be the same as the 95 percent lean,"Weller said.

Confidence: This means how confident a person is in his or her decision, Weller said."If they get it right 50 percent of the time, their confidence should be,'I'm just guessing most of the time,"

he said.

Ifsom eone isright60percent of the time but says he was very accurate, "there's a miscalibration there between confidence and ability level."

Rule-following: This refers to a person's ability to select the right option from a matrix of different choices, Weller said.

The study offers several takeaways for parents, Weller said.

"Parents can talk to children about diKcult decisions to encourage exploring multiple points of view and other people's perspectives,"he said.

Parents can encourage kids to think aboutappropriate times fordecision making.'When you're stressed out or under pressure or when you're in a bad mood, you might not want to make a really important decision,"Weller said.

Parents can help kids figure out which decisions are important for them, based on the potential consequences.

Parents can model decision-making behaviors, including perseverance and resilience.

Parents can emphasize the decision-

making process and reward that, rather than the outcome. People can make decisions that aren't well thought out and still getgreatoutcomes,"and conversely you could make a real sound decision and when you get to the consequences, you're like, 'Oh, I'm deflated' or 'I don't feel like I got what I wanted,"Weller said. An example of this would be a test in school.aYou might not have remembered that one thing iandl it might have pulled your grade down,"Weller said.

A parent could focus not on the grade but on the fact that the child decided to spend several nights studying for the test.

"It's not hard-wired,"Weller said of decision-making competence."I firmly believe that there's a lot of plasticity there and you can learn these things."

That's in line with work being done at the Palo Alto, California-based Decision Education Foundation, whose mission is to "improve the lives of young people by empowering them with effective decision skills."

HeatsgoilleSron'sreturntoMiami The Associated Press

MIAMI — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade wrapped each other in a pregame embrace, chatted and laughed at halfbme, then hugged again after the final buzzer.

Just like old times.

Only this time, just one got to enjoy a victory.

James'return to Miami as an opponent was a success — for the Heat,that is.W ade scored 24 ofhis 31 points in the first half, Luol Deng had 25 points and dogged James defensively all night, and the Heat beatthe Cleveland Cavaliers 101-

NBA 91 in a hyped Christmas matchup Thursday. aWe didn't have a bad breakup," Wade said.aWe played against each other for seven years, man. The weirdness just wasn't there. It wasn't like we played against each other our whole career and the breakup happened. We played against each other for seven years, then with each other for a period of time, then he went back to the same situation and I'm in the same place."

Here's an example ofhow their

relationship has endured: When James, who returned to Cleveland in the offseasonafterfourseasons and two titles with the Heat, and the Cavaliers landed in South Florida on Wednesday, the four-time NBA MVP went to Wade's house for a night of Christmas Eve revelry.

James turns 30 on Tuesday. He had questions for the 32-year-old Wade about what changes at that age. That's what they talked about, no smack abouthow the Cavaliers areperceived to be a championship contender and how the Heat aren't even at the .500 mark.

Doug Trice is considered the face of Union County Special Olympics as the local program coordinator. However, Trice will be the first to tell you that the success oftheprogram dedicatedto helping athletes with intellectual disabilities is fueled by the entire volunteer staff.

Two of Trice's most valued and hardworking volunteers include Kathy Hagey and Tina Bowen.

"I have the utmost trust in Kathy and Tina," Trice said.

"They don't have to ask me anything, they just go out and do it."

Hagey, who worked with Trice at Union Pacific Railroad, said she was hesitant to volunteeratfi rstbefore deciding to attend a track and field practice in 2009.

"I stayed consistently persistent, so after a while, she probablygottired of me telling her to come out," Trice said."Kathy sees a lot of these athletes, and they recognizeherand love to give her a big hug."

Hagey said she is happy Tricewas so dedicated togetting her to help out.

"I went out to track practice one time, and I have been hooked ever since," Hagey said."I just loved interacting with the athletes and seeing how much they care about everyone."

Hagey, who works for chiropractor Thomas Miller, a sponsor of Special Olympics, said her schedule is always busy, but she is always happy to make time to help the athletes.

Both Bowen and Trice said they are happy Hagey is learning sign language, a skill that will help her communicate with hearing-impaired athletes. Hagey said one of thebiggestdraws for Special Olympics is the surrounding smiles she sees from every athlete at practice along SeeVolunteers I Page 9A

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.— NFL fans and fantasy football owners debating Peyton Manning's prowess and problems can continue that discussion well into the new year.

Manning was asked during his weekly news conference Wednesday if

there were a set of circumstances that would lead him to retire after the upcoming playoffs.

"I have not thought about those circumstances at all," Manning replied.

Food AmericantravelerreleasedfromEastIimoriail carts get home in Sisters

By Ted Shorack WesCom News Service

SISTERS — Afew food cartscould become apermanent fixture in downtown Sisters after a recent decision by the city approved them for a corner lot next to a bike and ski shop owned

by Mayor Brad Boyd, whose term ends in January.

Food carts within the city have been approved as temporary vendors in the past, but the application submitted by Boyd for the quarter-acre lot is the first time anyone has undergone a site plan review for a piece of property where the carts could be kept year-round.

The approval, made in late November, has generated interest in how the decision was reached and whether a precedent has been set that blurs the distinction between temporary vendors and licensed businesses.

0$cials involved in the process said nothing was done differently on behalf of Boyd because he is the mayor and that nothing changed in the city code that would require a more scrutinized review process.

"Allofthe processesand procedures were followed," said Alan Holzman, chairman of the Sisters Planning Commission.

The approved food cart lotisatthecornerofHood Avenue and Fir Street. Boyd purchased the property and building for his business this year and moved out of a space he had rented for years. He said he envisions a spot outside the shop similar to the The Lot in Bend on NW Columbia Street, which has foodcarts,tablesand beer taps. No food carts have come forward to use the spot yet, but Boyd said he expects threeorfourto be located there depending on their size.

"My customers are excited, "Boyd said."It's nothing new, and people are excited about it. People want one more option."

Boyd said the outdoor, low-costoption offood carts is something his customers want after biking or other outdoorsports,instead ofgoing to a sit-down restaurant.

The food cartswould provide an alternative and bring people to the location.

"I want to make my property as vibrant and attractiveasIcan forboth residents and tourists alike,"

Boyd said.

Eric Porter, the city's senior planner, approved the site plan review for the project and categorized the carts as eating and drinking establishments, which are an"outright permitted use," in the downtown commercial district of the city.

"I am overjoyed to learn of Dr. Stacey Addison's release from prison," said US.

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A U.S. traveler detained for months in East Timor has beenreleased from prison.

Stacey Addison, 41, of Portland was arrested in September shortly after crossing the border into the Southeast Asia nation. The veterinarian was sharing a taxi with a stranger who asked the driver to stop the car so he could pick up a package.

daughter, though obviously happy, was still in some disbelief over the whole situation.

"I anticipated it not being a very good Christmas," Kero said."And this is just the best Christmas present, other than her actually coming home."

Addison has been traveling the world since January 2013, starting in Antarctica. Kero said her daughter has always loved to travel, and saved her money and sold her home in preparation for the lengthy trip.

The planning commission could have called up the decision for a review. No appeals were filed within the 14-dayperiodafterthedecision, the time period when it could have been challenged.

— CAVT MAREA DECISION tootraumatic.

By MollyHennessy-Fiske Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — After Ricardo Aguilera took a bullet to the back ofhis head in a drive-by shooting, he recovered enough to tell police he had seen the gunman: a light-skinned Latino with a goatee, riding in a Dodge Ram pickup with a guy from the Ford Maravilla gang.

The police put together a photo lineup, and Aguilera pointed to a young man with a shaved head and facial hair. It was him, he said.

Deputies showed up at Rafael Madrigal's door in Mira Loma, about 45 miles from the crime scene in East Los Angeles. Madrigal, who had never been in a gang, who hadn't even lived in East L.A. for five years, was incredulous.

The photo in the lineup was atleasteightyearsold,he said force when he was a teenager.

He had a house, a goodjob, two kids he coached in soccer. A timecardindicated he'd been at work the day of the shooting in 2000, but the date stamp on the machine was broken, and the supervisor had written in the date by hand.

Investigators didn't believe him, and neither did a jury.

Madrigal was sentenced to 53 yearsto lifeforattempted murder. It took three years before he found an attorney willing to appeal, three more years before they could convince a judge that Madrigal's original attorney defended him ineffectively.

Madrigal walked out of

Big game and turkey hunters need to report their results, whether or not they were successful in 2014 hunts, before Jan. 31, 2015, to avoid a $25 penalty.

Hunters who participated in a telephone survey are also asked to report their results.

Hunters can report in the following ways: • online at www.dfvv.state.or.us.

• by calling 1-866-947-6339.

Hunters will need their hunter/angler ID number. If you don't have a license, tag or other document with your number, call 1-866-947-6339 to get the number.

Hunters whose hunt area included more than one Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) will need the two-digit number of the WMU where they spent the most time.

Reporting information includes whether you were successful, and how many days you hunted (including rnentrri n youth).

The deadline to report for hunts that end between Jan. 1 and March 31 is April 15.

When asked about genetic diversity, Tuers-lance pointed to the ridgeline on the opposite side of the Lostine River Canyon and said the Bear Creek herd is just over thereand the two herds'territoriesoverlap, leading biologists to believe they crossbreed.

"This is a unique opportunity. The sheep are habituated so we can study them so closely. We have one of the best data sets in the country because the feeding site is so accessible in the winter," she said.

as you do not park on the bridge itself, there should be several acceptable locations available. Once on your bicycle, cross the bridgeat Oxbow on the NF-454 road, otherwise labeled the Hells Canyon Road.The paved two-lane road travels north 22 miles on the Idaho side of the Snake River until it dead-ends at the Hells Canyon Visitors Center, just downriver from Hells Canyon Dam. The road follows the Hells Canyon Reservoir in delightful undulating swells that meander in and out of drainages and around rock bluffs.

Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America. The canyon is known for its beauty and wildness. The surrounding mountains and ridgel ines boastelevations that exceed 7,000 feet whereas the Hells Canyon Road flirts with an elevationof1,800feetand lower.Thelarge variation in elevation makes for a very dramatic landscape of snowtoppedpeaks and ridges thatdrop to the reservoir and are reflected in the water.

The elevation ofthe reservoir allows for temperatures that are much more moderate then the surrounding areas. The daytime temperatures of the Oxbow area are rarely below freezing and often flirt with 50 degrees and higher starting in March.

The complete Best Dam Ride loop is a smidge over 44 miles and gains an incredible 4,652 feet of elevation. The elevation gain is monumental for a ride that follows a level reservoir.

"The side of the hill stays fairly windswept so there's grass showing most of the winter," Tuers-Lance said.

A couple hundred yards away is a small herd of 20-some elk. When they heard the ATV they started to move upslope to the south where there's forested cover.

There is a sharp little climb that then relaxes into the constant up and down as well as twists that give this ride its character. Flanked by water and rock, the road is constantly offering up a new vista. However, remember to watch where you aregoingbecause itisavariable road and large amounts of rock debris have been found on it.

As you near Allison Creek, you will notice beautiful limestone cliffs to the east that will seem to glow at twilight. The geology of the area lends itself to surprises such as natural caves and interesting fossils oflong gone sea creatures.

The human history of Hells Canyon is also rich and ranges from indigenous tribes roaming and leaving cave petroglyphs behind tolarge abandoned fi uit trees that fed the miners and dam builders who called it home. There are several historic site signs along the road that inform you ofthegeographic,human and animal past.

The event required the effort of 413.5 miles and 54.75 hours by vehicle, 27.7 miles and 22.83 hours by foot, 4.33 hours at bird feeders and 11 hours, 74 vehicle miles and 1.5 miles by footforowling.

The birders tied orexceeded the record numbers of17 species,according to coordinator Trent Bray. The biggest increase was of the American robin, as the birders found 721, up from theprevious record of237in 2000.

The black-bi lled magpie saw the second-biggestincrease,as the group found 626 magpies compared with 452 in 2013.

Other species that set new records this year: •red-tail ed hawk, 221 (previous record,172,setin 2005) • red crossbill, Ross Hubbard and Jim Lawrence saw 60 of these birds, (previous record, 24, set in 2005) • Eurasiancollared dove,196 (previous record,126,setin 2012) PaulTople/Akron Beacon Journal • marsh wren, 28 (previous record, 18, in 2005) • pine siskin, 128 (previous record, 91, in 2002) American robin • great-hornedowl,21(previous record,17,in 2013) There were a number of notable sightings, as well.

Rob and Robin Ostermann found a Ross's goose with a large flock of Canada geese, and the couple also saw a peregrine falcon along Godley Road.

Two Lincoln's sparrow were sighted at feeders.

Mike Mahoney, Kendrick Moholt and Elizabeth Howard-Larvik found a varied thrush along Little Creek.

The Roaming Owl Squad of Mahoney, Bray, Moholt and Mike McAllister found two Northern saw-whet owls in Ladd Canyon.

Four Virginia rails were discovered around Hot Lake and Curtis Road, and Sara Watson saw a pileated woodpecker near Cath erine Creek State Park.

Bray said the big misses this year were the hairy woodpecker, horned lark and the bohemian waxwing.

Most animals are fitted with Global Positioning System collars that send a signal once a day that can be tracked from the comfort of an office. The collars can also be tracked using a handheld receiver.

"Growing up in a rural area and seeing the dental needs that are here,Ijust wanted to come back and give back to the areathatraised me,"Gray said.

The dinic also announces expanding their services to indude laser dentistry and implant dentistry. A few amenities are being added to the dinic building such as six business phone lines to directpatient calls expediently, music throughout the dinic and televisions above each chair to entertain and calm patients during their dental procedures.

Eastern Oregon Audiology receives national honor Eastern Oregon Audiology in La Grande, was presented with the "AudigyCertified Provider of Distinction Award" at a national conference of independent hearing care providers in Las Vegas.

The audiology practice was recognized at the 2014Audigy Group Team Summit at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for delivering exceptional service to patients by providing comprehensive hearing care and support to people who struggle daily with hearing loss. ''We were thrilled to be recognized among our peers in the independent audiology community for our service," said Dr. Robin Maxon, owner of Eastern Oregon Audiology.'We help hundreds of people each year to iaudiblyl connect with their loved ones and stay engaged in the world around them while dealing with the difficulty of hearing loss.

US moves to end ban on blood donations by gay men WASHINGTON — Federal health officials are recommending an end to the nation's lifetime ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men, a 31-year-old policy that many medical groups and gay activists say is no longer justified.

The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it favors replacing the blanket ban with a new policy barring donations from men who have had man-on-man sex in the previous 12 months. The new policy would put the U.S. in line with other countries including Australia, Japan and the U.K. The lifetime ban dates trom the early years of the AIDS crisis and was intended to protect the blood supply from what was a then little-understood disease. But many medical groups, including the American Medical Association, say the policy is no longer supported by science, given advances in HIV testing. Gay activists say the ban is discriminatory and perpetuates negativestereotypes.

Are beer bellies a real thing? Do social drinkers really carry around an extra five pounds of weight?

I have avoided investigating the answers to this question for all my adult life — and all my years as a health reporter. Call it denial by someone who likes her wine.

Recently, I learned that the caloric content of alcohol is higher iseven calories per gram) than that of proteins and sugars iboth four calories per gram), and nearly as much as fats inine calories).

That sounded very worrying, I'll admit. But remember that for managing weight, a more important number is the total number of

Those guidelines, which come trom the National Asthma Control Initiative, include using inhaled corticosteroids, assessing the severity of your asthma to determinewhat types oftreatment are needed, developing

calories in your beer or your glass of red wine A sugar-heavy 12-ounce cola also carries 150 calories.

And as far as common wisdom on drinking and weight gain goes, I am here to report, the science is murky.

For starters, epidemiological studies in large populations trequently show that moderatedrinkers tend togain lessweight over time than teetotalers, says David Hanson, an alcohol expert at the State University of New York at Potsdam.'There's every reason to believe people who drink alcohol will gain weight," he says, "but they don't."

Women who drink moderately — that's defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as one drink per day

and using a written asthma action plan, making regular follow-up appointments with your physician and trying to control environmental triggers.

Some triggers areeasy tocontrol, such as smoking, while others — for example, dust and mold in work spaces — might be a little tougher to manage.

Though asthma, especially in children, sometimes seems to disappear on its own, it generally cannot be cured. But it can be effectively treated, with knowledge and careful management.

"For adult asthmatics, it doesn't tend to getbetter,butit doesn't have to getworse,"said Janna Tuck, a Missouri allergist and spokeswoman for the American College of Allergy, Asthma

and Immunology.

Jill Selman, a high school teacher in Montgomery County, Md., has her asthma under control with medication when she began running six years ago. But three years ago, her symptoms flared up in a major way.

"I could barely run a minute anymore. A lap was hard," Selman said."But my awesome allergist at Rockville Asthma and Allergy encouraged me to exercise and run. My doctor said to do it long-term helps expand my lung capacity."

So she kept running. And slowly but surely, she was able to train for October's Marine Corps Marathon.'The training went great. I could run 16 to 21 miles with no problem," Selman said.

Looking at body mass index — a gauge of fat calculated by weight and height — a 1997study found that women added an average1.4 to their BMI in a 10-yearperiod, but beer-drinking and wine-drinking women generally lost as much as 0.4 BMI units. For a 5-foot-4-inch woman, that's the equivalent to gaining 8 pounds or losing 2 pounds.

Rosalind Breslow, an NIAAA researcher, studiedsurvey data trom 45,896 adultsto see ifpatterns ofdrinking made a difference in weight gain over time. Rather than looking at averagealcohol consumption over aperiod of time, her team measured drinking days per month and number of drinks on those days.

Carter said there are risksinvolved ifyou piece-meal a child's vaccinations. ''When parents choose to wait, especially with whooping cough at 2 months, then their children have a higher risk of getting the illness," she said.

"Ifyou know you can'tremember what your doctor is saying, ask your doctor to write it down or print it off for you to take home with you," Hamilton said.

Common concerns

By Tiish Yerges ForWesCom News Service

about vaccinations regon families lead the nation in filing non-medical immunization waiversfortheirkindergarten children. Health care professionals believe this is due to parents having a lack ofscience-based education, while parents say they do understand the science, but are concerned about vaccine safety and risks.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention w ebsite states,"A vaccine, like any medication, could cause a serious reaction.

But the risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small."

For example, febrile seizures occur in one child out of every 1,000vaccinated formeasl esmumps-rubella; and severe allergic reactions occur in one childout ofevery 1,000,000 vaccinated for MMR. To discuss the risks and benefits of vaccinations, a groupoflocalhealth care professionals convened at Grande Ronde Hospital, including Dr. Keith Graham, a practicing internist and Union County health officer.

Together this panel answered the following questions: Q: Whydoes my personal choice not to vaccinate matter to others?

A: Carrie Brogoitti, public health administrator with the Center for Human Development in La Grande, said getting vaccinated is a social responsibility.'Vaccinationsare about protecting population health," she said.

"There are a lot of people who can't get the vaccination due to concrete medical reasons, so when I get my flu shot, it helpsto protectthem."

April Brock, a registered nurse at Grande Ronde Hospital, noted that the parents who are choosing not to vaccinate their own children have themselves been vaccinated as children; consequently, they have a false sense of security because they have probably never seen a child paralyzed with polio or in an iron lung or a child with measles, mumps or small pox.

'This is a generation of parents who have never seen a public health crisis," Brock said."Therefore, they don't seetheimportance ofvaccinations. So what my generation is doing is probably bringing back preventable illnesses."

Q: Hotv effective are vaccinations for preventing disease?

A: "There's published data See Yerges / Page 5C

Communicating clearly with family, caregiversand primary care providers can be a challenge for the chronically ill, but the Living Well Workshop facilitated by Rochelle Hamiltonand Kathy Hayden of Community Connection of Northeast Oregon offers some helpful suggestions. ''When asking for help from caregivers, be specific," Hamilton said.

"Forexample,you might ask,'Can

you help me move?"'

When someone who is chronically ill states precisely what they need, they are far more likely to be satisfied with the response. Sometimes, however, a chronically ill person will receiveoffersfor help thatthey did not ask for. Hamilton suggests declining the offer graciously so as not to embarrassthe generous giver.

Communication is more than talking, though. Good listening is the most important skill in communicating with others, and it involves more

than your ears. It involves your eyes too.

"Listen to the words, the tone of voice and observe the body language," Hamilton said.

The best communication involves "mirroring," which confirms that you understood what was being said.

"Let the person know you heard what he said by repeating it back to them," Hamilton said."Remember to acknowledge and validate the content and emotion in their communication."

Communicating with one's health care team requires an approach that Hamilton calls "PART' — prepare, ask, repeat and take action.

"Ask yourself, What is the purpose of my doctor's visit, and what do I expect trom my doctor?"' Hamilton SRld.

To aid in communicating with your provider, prepare in advance with a list of the questions you want to ask. Highlight the top two or three. Hand the entire list to your SeeSkills / Page 5C

exercise CAN FIX A PAIN IN THE NECK can coexist • A body's proper posture has three curves — cervical, thoracic, lumbar

By Mike Plunkett The Washington Post

By Lisa Bntton ForWesCom News Service

In these days of technological revolution, a smartphone allows you to text, email, check Facebook, send a tweet on Twitter and post a cute photo on Instagram.

But it can also give you a pain in the neck.

Blake Marlia, a physical therapist at Baker Valley Physical Therapy, has recentlyseen cases ofdisc herniation in the neck. ''Which you never used to see," he said.

His explanation is simple — posture.

Or bad posture,to be specific.

A body's proper posture has three curves — cervical

ineckl, thoracic iupper back) and lumbar gower back).

If you're looking down at the phone in your hand, you loseboth the cervicaland lumbar curve.

A goodruletoremember, Marlia said, is for every 30 m inutes ofactivity,do 30 seconds of a counter exercise.

For example, if you've looked down at your phone for 30 minutes, take 30 seconds to tilt your head back a few times. If you've been sitting for 30 minutes, stand Lisa Britton/Forwescom News Sennce up and walk around.

Caleb Mcllmoil, physical therapist at BakerValley PhysicalTherapy, demonstrates See Neck / Page 5C good posture, which maintains the natural curves in the spine.

Guidelines for good posture Here are some tips and tricks for improving posture DO'S • Ears over shoulders over hips when sitting upright • Eyes at downward angle of 10 to 20 degrees while looking at computer screen • Elbows at 90-degree angle • Keep your wrists in a neutral (straightj position — not resting on desk • Hips and knees at 90-degree angles • Feet flat on floor or footrest

DON'TS • Don't hold phone between your ear and shoulder • Don't face body one way and twist to work in another positionposition work station so everything is in easy reach • Don't conform to chair — make chair conform to you • Don't stay seated for entire shift — get out of the chair briefly at least once an hour or "power sit" (see

below) POWER SIT For each of these, hold for six seconds and repeat five times.

• Lift arches off floor while keeping toes and heels touching floor • Tense/tighten quads • Squeeze glutes • Suck in tummy • Squeeze shoulder blades back and down • Tuck chin

Asthma: It's that first breath that always seems the worst.

The chest tightens and the airways spasm. A cough, a wheeze and an attack.

Especially when it's exacerbatedby thecold ofwinter, asthma isadiscomfort for some and a medical issue for many.

Almost 19 million American adults have adult-onset asthma, a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. About 90 percentofthem — and about 10 percentofthegeneralpopulation — periodically suffer a related condition called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, in which someone exercising suddenly struggles to beableto breathe,with little or no warning.

It's understandable that adults with these conditions — and there are more all the time, due partly to poor air quality and other environmental factors — may find some types of fitness to be an arduous endeavor that ultimately won't be worth the effort.

But experts say that knowledge ofboth conditions is improving and, in consultation with physicians, it is possible for sufferers to exercise and maintain an active lifestyle.

'Ten percent of Olympic athletes have asthma, so asthma won't stop individuals trom high functionality," said Albert Rizzo, chief of Christiana Care Health System's pulmonary and critical care medicine section in Delaware and senior medicaladviserfortheAmerican Lung Association.'With medication, they can go a long way."

In fact, exercise can have beneficial effects on people with asthma symptoms."Exercise and staying fit is SeeAsthma / Page 5C
