Sidewalks surfacing on 2nd By Bill Rautenstrauch The Observer
Reconstruction of Second Street near Pellll Avenue entered a new phase this week as workers began building sidewalks and curbs. The major rebuild began this year after the City of La Grande's public works department discovered that the hillside in the area was slipping. Work to date has included construction of a retaining wall and replacement of a pipeline along the street. The final phase, happening now; includes the sidewalks and curbs and street paving. Public Works Director Nann Paullus said the street could be re-opened in two or three weeks, depending on the schedule ofthe contractor, JW Contracting of Bend. "We're cleaning the project up, getting it done," Paullus said.
Blue Mountain Translator District
Signals go digital By Bill Rautenstrauch The Observer
Chris Baxter I The Observer
New sidewalks and curbs grace Second Street near Penn Avenue as a $900,000 reconstruction project in the area continues.
The project has an estimated cost of $900,000, and is being paid for with city utility and street user fees, and federal funding distributed by the state of Oregon.
The Blue Mountain Translator District on Thursday completed its transition to a digital format. Ken Patterson of the district said that with the conversion complete, people with digital televisions will need to re-scan for channels, and those with oldm; analog sets will need to get converter boxes. There shouldn't be any need to replace antellllas, though. "The older antennas will work," Patterson said. The translator district provides over~tlte air television to about 1,200 subscribers in Baker and Union counties. A transmitter on Beaver Mountain
sends signals to Baker County, while Union County is served by transmitters on Mount Faimy and Mount Harris. Patterson said that people using the Mount Harris transmitter may have to search for their channels because they are now on a different location in the spectrum. In other news about the Blue Mountain Translator District, Patterson said he is currently seeking volunteers who would like to sit on the board of directors. He also said he encourages people who do not subscribe but who get TV signals from the transmitters to sign up as subscribers. For more infonnation, call Patterson at 541-786-1788.

City services, staffing will stay at current levels By Bill Rautenstrauch The Observer
The La Grande ('ity Council approved proposed budgets for 2012-13 totaling about $43 million on Wednesday, preserving services at current levels and keeping staffing levels the same as last year. The city's budget committee fonnulated its 2012-13 recommendations in May and passed them on to the council for final adoption in the June regular session. By law, the council has the option of adjusting the recommended budgets by 10 percent.
No major changes were recommended Wednesday, though Councilor John Bozarth zeroed in on an item that increases the city's tree care educator's hours from 19 to 20. With 20 hours, the employee would qualify for some health care and pension benefits. Bozarth said making her position a benefitted one will cost the city an additional $10,200 year. "I don't think it's appropriate," Bozaith said. He said he believes the increase would be unfair to taxpayers, and also worries that changing the position would set an unwanted precedent.

He suggested putting the $10,200 back in the general fund, and giving the employee a raise instead. Avote on that failed. After some debate, the council voted to keep the $10,200 in the urban forestry division budget as proposed. The position will be upgraded. The tree care educator coordinates the programs of the city's Urban Forestry Division, including the street tree planting prograin, a tr·ee removal and replacement partnership with Oregon Trail Electric Co-op, the Adopt a Tree and Memorial Tree Programs, and more. She also
does work in ordinance and code enforcement related to urbail forestry, works with volunteers and does community outreach and education. The proposal to make her a benefitted employee had the backing of the city's Community Landscape and Forestry Commission. In a letter to the council, Chair Robin Maille said the Urban Forestry Division is a vital city program and that the tree cai·e educator provides valuable service.

WASHINGTON - Risking an election-yeai' backlash from Republicans, the Obama administration is proposing new air quality standards to lower the amount of soot that can be released into the air. The move by the Environmental Protection Agency won immediate support from environmental groups and public health advocates, who said the EPA was protecting millions of Americans at risk of asthma attacks, lung cancer, heart disease and premature death. But congressional Republicans and industry officials called the rules overly strict and said they could hurt economic growth and cause job losses in areas where pollution levels are detennined to be too high. "EP.Ns proposal could substantially increase costs to states, municipalities, businesses and ultimately consumers without justified benefits," said Howard Feldman, director of regulatory and scientific affairs for the American Petroleum Institute, the top lobbying group for the oil and gas industry. Feldman said the rule could See Soot I Page 2A

discourage economic investment in counties that fail to meet new federal standards, including in political swing states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, where a natural gas drilling boom has boosted the local economie.<J. "Non-attainment means non-investment" by industry, Feldman said. Perhaps wary of the rule's political risk, the administration had sought to delay the new soot standards until after the November elections. But a federal judge ordered officials to act after 11 states filed a lawsuit seeking a decision this year by the Environmental Protection Agency. An administration official said the new rule was based on a rigorous scientific review. Virtually all counties in the United States would meet the proposed standard by 2020 ¥.ith no additional actions needed beyond compliance with cmrent and impending rules set by the EPA, the official said. Soot, made up of microscopic particles released from smokestacks, diesel trucks and buses, fu·eplaces and wood-burning stoves, and other sources, can burrow into lungs. Breathing in soot can cause lung and hemi problems. Dr. Albert Rizw, chairman ofthe board of the American Lung Association, said soot, also known as fine particle pollution, is a known killer. "The science is clear, and overwhelming evidence shows that pmiicle pollution at levels currently labeled as officially 'safe' causes heart attacks, strokes and asthma."

Once again it is time to start the annual fire hydrant testing and maintenance program. The La Grande Public Works Department will be conducting these tests this year starting June 11, 2012. This program is very important to allow the public works department to identify the quantity of water available for firefighting purposes and it serves to rid the city's water distribution system of umulations of sedimentation deposits over the past year. Citizens who experience any unusual water clarity problems _,_...... the hydrants are flushed are encouraged to turn on a cold-water faucet outside the house and let it run for 5 to 10 minutes. This will normally clear up the agitated water from the service line to the home. problems may be referred to the La Grande Public Works Department by calling 962-1325.

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE t896
GUEST EDITORIAL
Gas tax not good enough for Oregon The Oregonian:
More than 90 years ago, Oregon became the first state to figure out that taxing gasoline was the best - and fall-est -way to share the cost of building and maintaining roads. This system worked well for many years, particularly as most passenger vehicles required roughly the same amount of fuel to go the same distance. But revenues have sagged for at least the last decade and now fail to underwrite the most basic road maintenance and construction needs. This trend will continue. Engine efficiency continues to shoot upward; new piston-driven autos easily attain 30 miles to the gallon but in the coming years will top 40. Prices at the pump continue to rise, too, spurring interest in cars that use little or no gas. AS A RESULT, THE AMOUNT OF GAS needed to move the average car down the road has declined and there's less revenue to show for it. The tax as a user fee is no longer fa.IT. When it comes to road repa.IT, those who drive thirsty road hogs are now subsidizing those who drive efficient and unconventionally powered cars. This trend needs to reverse, and the best strategy for ensuring fairness and adequate funding for roads may be a miles-driven tax paid by Oregon drivers. In the fall, a gas tax task force created by the Legislature will introduce a plan to measure miles driven by owners of electric vehicles and possibly gasoline-electric hybrid cars - and, of course, to charge user fees. The gas tax won't go away any time soon, and that's fine. Despite its imperfection, it remains an essential revenue source. Meanwhile, the state's experiment in alternative taxation is nothing to worry about. It is more equitable than relying upon fuel taxes alone. And it's less worrisome than a 2006 attempt to tax drivers by the mile, when officials blundered by deciding cars should carry GPS units produced by the govemment. The new idea -which may go to the Legislature next year for passage -involves off-the-shelf devices such as smartphones or nontracking GPS units as well as factory-installed entertainment systems. MEANWIDLE, THE DIGITAL RECORD would be no greater than people already shoulder in using their devices for other purposes. At first, the plan will involve only electric cars. But a successful debut could lead to wider use and, eventually; the replacement of the state's withering gas tax. Keeping it simple will be important. The gas tax may be in decline, but it's easy to assess and collect. It also will be important to continue taxing cars from other states that use Oregon's roads. Presumably; a car from Washington wouldn't be equipped with a new mileage-tracking gizmo. But such vehicles pay our gas taxes when they fill up in Oregon. Other methods of charging alternative vehicles for road impacts are under consideration, too, including annual fiat fees tied to vehicle registration. How, exactly; the state decides to spread the cost of maintaining roads farrly is very much an open question, of course. What matters, though, is that it does so - and does so as simply as possible.

Senators fawn over bank CEO JPMorgan Chase boss Jamie Dimon has been a scourge of the Obama administration in recent months, but when he appeaTed on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Republicans found the head of the country's largest bank to be alarmingly off-message. Dimon had little interest in joining Republicans in complaining that President Obama's regulations destroyed capitalism as they knew it. In fact, he even had some kind words for the Dodd-Frank financial reforms. And the banker's most passionate plea to the lawmakers was one that Republicans most emphatically don't want to heaT: Enact the Simpson-Bowles debt proposal, a package of spending cuts and- gulp increased tax revenue that was largely scuttled by House Republicans. "If we had done something remotely like Simpson-Bowles," Dimon said in response to Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) at the end of the hearing, "you would have increased confidence in America. You would have shown a real fix of the long-term fiscal problem. I think you would have had ... a more effective tax system that is

conducive to economic growth." In fact, he said, not enacting such a plan ''helped cause a downturn last year." Ostensibly, Dimon went to Capitol Hill to be grilled about his bank's loss of more than $2 billion on an investment strategy that amounted to a glorified game ofcraps. MEMBERS OF THE SENATE banking committee were to determine whether stronger financial regulations are needed. But tougher regulation is unlikely, given Wall Street's bankrolling of panel members' campaigns, and lawmakers acted as though they were wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan. ''You're obviously renowned, rightfully so, I think," said Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), "as being one of the most, you know, one of the best CEOs in the country." Democrats, perhaps worried that Wall Street has been shifting its campaign
largess to 1\fitt RDmney and the Republicans, joined the sycophancy. Sen. Robert Menendez (N.J.) called JPMorgan Chase "one of the nation's finest," and Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) told Dimon: "You guys know the industry better than anybody sitting up here." Despite all the a:ffinnations ofhow ve:ry big and great and powerful Dimon is, he declined to join theiT all-out assault on the Wall Street refonns. "Has Dodd-Frank more than marginally made our banking system safer?" Corker asked. "I think parts of it, in conjunction with higher capital liquidity," the executive replied. ''The financial system is safer today than it was in '07." Dimon had a more deserving target for his criticism than Democrats and regulations: a demand to "get our fiscal act in order'' before the election and before automatic tax increases take effect next year. The Simpson-Bowles plan "is a road map which I like," he said, and the important thing is "getting something like that done." If Dimon is the senators' best friend, as their fawning suggests, perhaps they'll take this advice seriously.
Your views Differing opinions To the Editor: I am dismayed at the recent letter to the editor from Rrian Addison regarding Loren Hughes that ended with a warning about the loss of "fundamental American ideals such as freedom, liberty and private property rights." Although emotions over land use issues run high, these statements are so extreme and misleading they deserve a response. Honest people can disagree , a principle that is at the absolute core of "American ideals." In fact, the biggest change we have seen throughout the West in the past generation, besides population growth in urban areas and increasing retirees in rural America, is the change in uses of the public lands.

lt wasn't lon~ a~o that resource development was what "multiple-use" was all about. Today, increased numbers of fisher folks, hikers, birders, climbers, rafters and people just seeking respite from urban life have an interest in how our public lands are managed, as do loggers, miners and livestock man agers. This public land belongs to all of us and, as such, should be sustained for future generations and these many uses. Differences of opinion from these diverse interest groups are healthy and should be addressed respectfully. Mr. Hughes isn't doing this on his own. He, like groups such as Hells Canyon Preservation Council, is articulating the views of a public concerned with the future of our public lands. For this, the communities of
Eastern Ore~on and across the U.S. owe him their respect and gratitude. It is counter-productive and in fact contrary to "American ideals" (which include all sides in the discussion) to heap abuse on people who promote the goals of sustainability in our complex and threatened world of the 21st century. The dangers alluded to in the recent letter from Mr. Addison (such as weakening property rights) are not at risk from debates over forest policy. Also, broadenin g the uses of our public lands will enhance the very economic vitality that we need to draw our young people back to the land. For bringin g these issues to our attention, Mr. Hughes and the many folks like him (think Teddy Roosevelt) deserve our thanks.

Religion could tiP presidential race By Steven Hurst The Associated Press
WASHINGTON- Powerful, unique and unpredictable religious crosscurrents are at work in the U.S. presidential election and could produce subtle but significant shifts that would decide the outcome in what is shaping up to be a very close contest between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Most important are evangelical Christians, one of the most powerful and reliable voting blocs in the Republican party. Many ofthem are unsettled by Romney's Mormon faith. Few, if any, Evangelicals will vote
for Obama regardless because his support for abortion rights and his new backing of same-sex marriage are an anathema to Christian conservatives. But many fundamentalist Christians consider Romney's religion a sect and not Christian. Furthermore, Romney's positions on certain social issues like abortion have shifted over the years, fueling doubts among some Republicans about his conservative convictions. He now says he op}Xlses abortion. The question, then, becomes will Christian conservatives go to the polls? During the Republican primary race, many Evangelicals voted for Romney's more conservative rivals,
inducting Rick Santorwn and Michelle Bachman. "What happens to the conservative evangelical force that supported Santorwn and Bachmann? My sense is that a lot of them will stay home," said Katherine Knutson, a political scientist who studies religion and politics at Gustavus Adolphus College. "This is such a strange election when it comes to religion," Knutson said. "Tensions an1ong various sectors of the religious factions make this a really unusual period." It becomes all the more unusual in an election year where the economy, not social issues that normally involve religious belie~ is
the top issue among voters. Right now, Obama and Romney are polling about even and that means the election will be decided in the very few U.S. states that do not reliably vote either Republican or Democrat. In those states, independent voters will decide which man sits in the White House come January 2013. Predicting where they will fall on the issue ofeconomy becomes even more difficult when compounded by the unknown variables ofhow they will decide on matters ofconscience, how deeply they follow the dictates of their religion. The unknowns are compounded by Roman Catholics who are watching as the church hierarchy sues
the Obama administration over health insurance coverage for birth control, citing its belief the governmentis impinging on religious freedom. Romney's faith and the Catholic Church hierarchy's anger at Obama over contraception health insurance coverage could prove to be critical if somewhat ''hidden issues," says Carl Raschke, religious studies professor at the University of Denver. That wiH make them difficult to measure in polling as the can1paign moves toward the November vote. "Such prejudices or convictions will come into play when it comes time to pull the voting levm;"he said.

James silences Ex-Sonics, helps Heat tie NBAFinals
Cascade's best Eastern's Robbie Haynie wins male athlete of the year, 8A
•• •
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - LeBron Jan1es had received plenty of help from Dwyane Wade and Clnis Bosh, and now he had to finish it on his own. With what Wade called the loudest crowd he'd ever heard booing, certain Jan1es had just fouled Kevin Durant, the league's MVP walked to the free throw line ¥~ith 7.1 seconds left and the :Miami Heat's huge lead down to two points. The guy who has endured too many fourth-quarter failures wasn't letting another NBA Finals game get away. Jmnes made both free throws, completing a 12-for-12 pe1formance at the line and a 32-point night, and
the Heat held on for a 100-96 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night tltat evened the series at one game apiece. "On a big stage like this in a big game like this, every point counts, every point matters. So you go to the free throw line, no matter how hostile the environment, and try to knock them down," James said. "Like I said, I'm happy that I was able to go up there and make a few plays, go up there and make my free throws. We needed it. We needed every point tonight." Wade rebounded from a poor opener to add 24 points and Bosh had 16
•• •
points and 15 rebounds in his return to the starting lineup for the Heat, who needed a big night from tlteir Big Three to snap a four-game finals losing streak with their first victory since Game 3 against Dallas last year. "It's been so long since we've had them all together," Heat fmward Shane Battier said. "They played like the All-Stars that they are and that's the effort that we need." Now they go home to host Gmne 3 on Sunday and the next two after that, knowing they don't have to hear the noisy Thunder fans again - not to mention all their critics - if they win all three.
Miami blew a 13-point lead in Game 1 and seemed headed toward a repeat of tlte second gmne of the finals last year, when it blew a 15-point edge on its home floor. Not this time. "This is a good team and we didn't want to be down 2-0," Bosh said. ''We know in order to accomplish our goal, we have to win on the road. We're a good road team.We've done it before. ''They posed a great challenge because they haven't lost up until today. But we felt that we let one get away and we felt that we could play a much, much better game in Game 2."

Teen golfers make an impression at U.S. Open SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - At 17, Beau Hossler is almost old news at the U.S. Open. That's what happens when a 14-year-old gets in the field at The Olympic Club and all Hossler has done is qualify two straight years as a high school amateur. Even Hossler's dad said all the media attention on Andy Zhang this week was warranted. "I understand the crowds around a 14-year-old getting in. That is incredible," Beau Hossler Sr. said Wednesday. "He deserves that attention." While Zhang will be battling the nerves of a firsttime competitor, Hossler is feeling right at home. He and fellow amateur Alberto Sanchez took money off Phil Mickelson and Mark McCormick on Tuesday in a little old-vs.young match-play competition. And Wednesday, Hossler was playing a relaxed practice round with Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk and Zach Johnson - who have a combined 41 previous U.S. Opens under their belts. "It's pretty cool," said Hossler, who birdied two of his final tlrree holes at the nearby Daly City sectional to qualify this year.
"I feel like I'm a little more experienced this year. I feel comfortable out here." That has changed his goals - even ifhe shares the same braces-filled smile as Zhang. '1 want to be low amateur, and play the entire tournament," Hossler said about making the cut, which he failed to do last year in shooting rounds of76-77 at Congressional. That would mean faring better than Walker Cup players Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Spieth - the latter a big reason Hossler committed to play at Texas in 2013 '1 think (Olympic) suits my game better in that it's very difficult off the tee and plays hard and fast," Hossler said. Of course, just a few years ago getting offthe tee was hardly Hossler's strong suit. "I'm going to say he was 5-3, 130 pounds, and that might be pushing it," his father said about his son competing as a 14-year-old in his first U.S.Amateur. "It was impossible. He had to lay up at seven of the par 4s." The kid from Rancho Santa Margarita in Orange County finally shot up at age 16, which left him feeling less-than-coordinated at last year's U.S. Open.

Haynie grabs records, titles Haynie amassed a school-record 7,598 points in the decathlon at the outdoor national championships. That total is just two points shy of the U.S. Olympic Trials provisional mark and is 18th best from any collegiate level this year. During the decathlon, he hit a personal record in pole vault at 17 feet, 10 inches. That mark is currently the 13th best mark from any collegian this season, and a new NAIA Outdoor National Championship record in the decathlon. In the high jump, the senior cleared 6 feet, 11.5 inches for the national title. He entered the event as the top seed. He entered the pole vault as defending champion and top seed but ripped his hand open the day prior in the decathlon pole vault. Ifhe would have made his first attempt at the opening height of 16-6 he would have won. Haynie collected 20 points at the national championships, which if he were his own team he would have finished 14th.

FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2012
Driven to wonder why motorists do things they do H Wallowa/Asotin County 9th Annual ave you ever noticed how nice folks are at the four- and fiveintersection stop-signs? I am impressed every time I drive down any of those streets, checking out which cars are ahead of me and when it should be my tum to continue on down the street. It really is wonderful to see how thoughtful most folks are behind the wheel. As a rule. Oh, sure, there are those who get in a hun-y and take their turn out of tum, running in ahead of others as though they have more important things to do than anyone else, but I discount them for their rudeness and figure they don't understand the unwritten rule of taking a proper turn when everyone must come to a stop and then proceed in an orderly manner, the first car in is the first car out around the circle. Maybe they are from outof-town or new to town and haven't yet become accustomed to the way we do things here. Maybe in time they willleam. 01; maybe they are in a hun-y because they are really late for an appointment or are needing to reach someone who is ill. There are always possible excuses for taking their tum out of turn so we must be patient and continue to be thoughtful and orderly. Further up in town the two-hour parking rule seems to be quite well covered by the police department and tickets handed out if one shops too long, but I've wondered if other rules should be as well enforced and if the new rules are laid out for all of us and not for just a few. Driving habits seem to be changing in La Grande, for I have noticed drivers going one direction and suddenly spotting a parking spot across the street, turn their vehicle around and claiming the place as their own. Hmmm. Have the rules really changed that much since when I was trained to drive on up the street hoping to find a parking space on my side of the street or, if not, turning around in a legal zone and retracing the track back to that other opening? That makes me wonder if they are concerned that someone else will come along and take their coveted spot and they dare not take the chance, or
DORY'S DIARY
is that the way it was done "where they come from?" One of the most obvious places of changing the law we used to have is on Fourth Street at Washington Avenue where a big sign at the intersection plainly says that turning around there is forbidden. Oh? Is that why cars turn around in the street just before they reach the intersection and park on the opposite side of the street? Is that more legal than if they turned around in the forbidden intersection? And, why do they go around the comer and then turn their vehicle around, again to park on the other side of the street, sometimes even waiting for a car idling at the stop sign for their turn to proceed, and then tuming around right behind them as it moves on? One other thing I've been noticing is how many cars do a rolling stop through stop-signs. Sometimes the driver cautiously checks left and right before proceeding but other times it appears that everyone had best move out of the way because that rig is coming tln-ough. Oh, there are other things and people to observe while you are driving around or watching from a parking spot. There are bikers Iiding down the middle of the lane, not willing to move to the right so cars can pass, drivers not willing to give way to bikers or pedestrian traffic and pedestrians taking advantage of their right to cross by casually sauntering across the street or at an angle. There was even
one lady who put her hand out from the driver's side as though for a left-hand tum but was merely enjoying the wam1 sunshine. I try not to be too hard on folks since I have a few faults of my own as well (ahem), but in time we will learn to live together in a more gentle caring way. For instance, I admit that sometimes a pedestrian, biker or car can come out of nowhere and it is too late to react to the situation, but most of the time we can be more observant of what's ahead or to the side and use good manners as we go along. Certainly I have found myself in many such situations so I try not to judge others too harshly. Still, I guess we all have room for improvement everyday. Hey, watch out. It's my tum. I'm coming through.

Don't let stray ge1ms ruin your travel plans. Here's something to brighten up your summer travel prospects. Airports and airplanes are major gathering places for microbes fi·om around the world, says Peter J. Sheldon Sr., a vice president with the Coverall HealthBased Cleaning System a company that cleans places such as hospitals. Notlting ruins a trip more than spending it in bed with a bug you picked up during the travel, he said. And there's no better way to spread them than pack a lot of people into a small place. So be cautious and take steps to stay well, Sheldon said. The first line of defense, is to carry a hand sanitizer and alcohol wipes. Then, know the favorite places where germs and viruses to linger.

Feeling unhealthy? Just need to eat better? Numerous nutritionists are here to help. But not all nutrition professionals are equal, which could make choosing one a little confusing. You could seek nutritional counseling from a registered dietitian, a nutritional therapist or a lifestyles educatOI: Or; you can turn to your established physician, naturopath or chiropractor. Whoever it is, check into their nutrition credentials before deciding how much credence to give their advice. There are various levels of qualifications in nutrition-related care. And, different credentials might represent different philosophical approaches.

Nutritionists First thing to know: The oft-used title "nutritionist" is a meaningless term. "In Oregon, it is legal for anybody to call tltemselves a 'nutritionist,' "said Connie Georgiou, a registered dietitian and emeritus associate professor at Oregon State University's depmtment of nutrition and exercise science. "Many people with little to no training use this term, but a lot of us who do have training also use it because it's a tenn consumers are attracted to," said Julie Hood Gonsalves, a registered dietitian and associate professor ofhealth at Central Oregon Community College. "That term alone doesn't lead consumers to a trained professional, and may be considered a red flag if no other credentials are given."
Registered dietitians "Nationally, the registered dietitian professional credential is the one accepted by the medical professions as the standard for providing scientifically sound nutrition infonnation for the public and providing medical nutrition therapy for patients," Georgiou said. Registered dietitians translate nutrition research into individualized diets or largerscale meal plans. People see registered dietitians for all sorts of problems: cardiovascular, blood pressure, digestive, weight and so on. Registered dietitians work in both private in public settings, in clinical environments such as hospitals, and in food service See Nutritionists I Page2B

Golf pro Bob Garza says yoga helps protect his back from injury and improves his game.
Yoga improves flexibility, strengthens core By Anne Aurand W esCom New s Service
When Bob Garza was in high school and college, yoga was not considered a man's activity or a particularly athletic thing to do. The 53-year-old pro golfer is thankful things have changed. "Top athletes do it," said Garza, an Oregon golf teacher. He says his yoga practice helps protect his back from injury and improves his game. Yoga has loosened his hamstrings - tight hamstrings can lead to lower-back problems. He has had sciatic nerve problems that prevented him from swinging a club a few times. But, "since I started yoga that rarely happens;' he said. Yoga has also improved his core strength, which is helpful since the whole midsection is involved in the golf S\ving.A strong core lets you rotate the torso faster, he said. Garza started doing yoga about four years ago, as his age started to affect his flexibility. He has more time for yoga in the winter when he's not so busy on the golf

The airplane washroom is the gern1iest place on a trip, or for that matter, any toilet in a transportation hub. E. coli and other infectious agents can be on any surface. The tiny sink, door handles, even the paper dispensers have germs. The facilities devices are rarely cleaned adequately between flights, especially continuing flights. Advice -Avoid using the airplane restroom. If you must, use paper towels to turn faucets on and off and to open the door. Close the lid ofthe toilet before flushing. Carry sanitizing wipes and use them when you exit.
2. Onboard magazines Passengers don't wash their hands before reading an airplane magazine, and often they lick their fingers as they turn the page. Advice -Bring your own reading material and avoid touching anything on the back of the seat except the emergency evacuation instructions. Use the alcohol 'vipes.
3. Water fountains Public drinking fountains can harbor as many as 2.7 million bacteria per square inch on the spigot. Advice- Avoid fountains. Bring water in small bottles. Often check-ins allow sealed bottles. Or buy water from vendors in the terminal. On the airplane, ask for bottled water from the beverage cart as on-board tap water can carry microbes.
4. Airline pillows and blankets Of 100 pillows and blankets on an airplane, five will be contaminated with cold or flu See Genus I Page 2B

and golfers might bend to the side and twist the torso at the same time. Golfers often come to Cooper with lower-back problems, he said. But, improving the stability and flexibility of the hips and back can protect a golfer from some injuries. In many yoga poses, a person's feet are planted on the ground, their lower body stable, while their torso is rotating. Same thing happens in golf "One reason (golfers) see me for low back pain is because their stability segment is trying to be a mobility segment, because their midback and hip sockets don't move," Cooper said "It matters ifyour hip joints can move, if your midback can move," Cooper said. Coupled with good golf instruction, yoga just might improve someone's back swing, too, he said. ''You can turn further, create more coil and potential energy to uncoil toward the ball," he said. That makes the ball fly farther. There's one more component, Cooper said: breathing. Yoga brings awareness to one's breath. A focus on the breath can help a golfer in the game. "A lot of golfis mental Breathing can let some tension go that will create an injury," he said. "It will remind the body to calm down."
industries such as restaurants and school districts. Some are hired to mn corporate wellness programs. Many focus on a specialty, such as diabetes or sports performance. Unlike many other nutritionist<;, registered dietitians' nutrition counseling can, in some cases, be covered by insurance. Different insurance plans cover varying amounts of nutrition consultation, said Lori Brizee, a registered dietitian who has her own practice.
GERMS ContinURd from JB viruses from coughs, sneezes or drool, says Sheldon. Advice -Rather than risk the dice throw of on-board pillows and blankets, bring your own U-shaped neck pillow. Or, wear an extra layer of clothing if you're prone to chills. Use your coat as a blanket and ball up that sweater for a pillow.
5. The security line No one itches to walk through an airport security line, but you may be itching afte1wards if you let your feet go commando. You can pick up foot infections including athlete's foot and mysterious grunge from others' shoes. Advice -Always wear socks when traveling to avoid barefoot time. Wear sturdy shoes on the flight in case ofemergencies.

Nutritionist
Certified nutrition specialist
An unprotected term that does not signify any specific training in Oregon.
A credential for professionals with an accredited master's or doctoral degree and clinical experience, who have passed an exam offered by the Certification Board for Nutritional Specialists (www .cbns.org), which was originally founded by the American College of Nutrition (www .americancollegeofnutrition .org). Requires continuing education.

Nutritional therapy practitioner Registered dietitians' association with insurance companies, govenunent agencies and medical institutions has drawn some nutritionists to advocate for alternative approaches. Gina Bailey, a nutritional therapy practitioner who has her own business called The Health Connection, said those establishments don't seem to be working for most Americans, who in general are not that healthy. For example, Bailey said, registered dietitians often seek ways to cut calories and fat, even if that means allowing fuods that nutritional therapy practitioners consider poor choioes, such as artificial sweeteners or processed, low-fat alternatives. Weight loss is not a focus in her nutritional therapy work, she said. Rather, her focus is on metabolic dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, improving digestion and identifying food allergies. She believes in using nutritional supplements, from vitamins to hydrochlmic acid supplements, to aid in healing when needed, she said. She said she uses many lines of supplements, including those from Biotics Research Corp., depending on the dysfunction. The president of Biotics Research Corp., a supplement manufacturm; founded the Nutritional Therapy Association, which certifies nutritional therapy practitioners. The Nutritional Therapy Association's philosophies are aligned with the Weston A Price Foundation, a nutrition education group that advocates a diet of nutrient-dense foods, which include fats sucl1 as butter and bee~ as well as whole grains and vegetables. And that suits Dr. Lisa Uri who is adding the nutritional therapy training to her Westem medicine training. In medical school, Uri said, "Nutritional tr·aining was next to nothing, which is really unfortunate." It would be ideal if the medical community could help people understand nutrition better, she said, but doctors rarely have enough time to deal with serious issues from chronic diseases to acute pain, so it's hard to include a thoughtful discussion about nutrition in most visits. Processed foods, artificial sweeteners and
Registered dietitian Someone who has at least abachelor's degree with specific courses in biological science and nutrition from an accredited institution; has completed a supervised internship at a university or health care facility or agency; has passed an exam from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (www. eatright.org) which regulates this job title. Requires continuing education.
Ucensed dietitian A state license only available for registered dietitians. In Oregon the license is optional. Nutritional therapy practitioner Someone who has completed nine months oftraining about diet, nutrition and
refined sugar account for a lot ofillnesses Americans are experiencing, Uri said. ''We always tell patients fat and cholesterol make you fat and give you high cholesterol. Unbeknownst to most of us, low fat usually means high sugm;" said Uri. "Ever since the low-fat craze, trends in heart disease, diabetes and obesity have skyrocketed." She said some of these diseases are preventable, and what she's learned in the training made her step away from the low-fat paradignl.
Complementary credentials Like Uri, many health-related professionals build on their education with additional nutrition training. There's a chiropractor in Bend who has supplemented his education with a nutrition certification by Firstline Therapy, a p1ogram for health practitioners o:ffured by a supplement company called Metagenetics. There's a "certified nutrition specialist" who works for a local naturopath. She also has a master of science degree in herbal medicine from tl1e Tai Sophia Institute, an accredited graduate school in Maryland. The naturopathic office's website says she consults patients about health and healing. Bari Liebowitz earned a master's degree in human nutrition because she thought it would integrate vvith her chiropractic practice. Patients often ask her about nutrition and supplements, weight loss, food intolerances and
Certified clinical nutritionist A credential offered through the Clinical Nutrition Certification Board (www.cncb. org), it includes 56 hours of online training and an exam for nutrition professionals who have at least a bachelor's degree or a professional degree in a licensed health care field. Emphasis is on alternative medicine and supplements.
fuod allergies. Her nutrition education included courses on the biochemistry of nutrition, which she said helped her understand how food and supplements play a role in fatigue disorders and how she could help people feel better. She lemned about spmts nutrition and nutritional needs for working out and recovery. "I wanted to be able to give my patients the best possible care in not just chiropractic, but holistic medicine," she said. "This type of education fits great into a chiropractic office or even a medical offioe where tl1ey want to incorporate nutrition. These programs focus less on the meal plans, etc., that a (registered dietitian) would do, and more on organic foods, superfoods and supplements."
Be a skeptic Conswners need to ask questions of their health care providers and look into their credentials. Be wary of titles such as '1ife coach" or "wellness coach," said Gonsalves. They don't always ensure the provider had adequate training in safe, effective nutritional therapies, she said. Many people who use those titles have degrees in some kind of wellness field, from nursing to chiropractic. But some don't. "Coaching is a contemporary word, kind oflike 'nutritionist,' "Gonsalves said. "Lots of people use it to promote themselves. That doesn't mean they m·en't competent, but it is certainly 'buyer beware.' "

HEALTH & FITNESS
AU-or-nothing approach to exercise unhealthy • Men's health improves with moderatetrall1ing By Nancy Chum in The Dallas Morning News
DALLAS-After Glenn Gehan graduated from college, he knew he didn't want to keep up the intense workouts that had allowed him to attend the University of Southern California on a swimming scholarship. He gave up the meetfocused, year-round, fourhours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen he'd kept up from age 10 through college. "I was burned out," says Gehan, 47, of Dallas. He didn't exercise for 10 years. That kind of ali-or-nothing attitude is both common and unhealthy for men, experts say. "There hasn't been a lot of really good science about why men don't exercise, but anecdotally there is no doubt at all," says Gretchen Reynolds, New York Times columnist and author of"The First 20 Minutes:Surprising Science Reveals How We Can Exercise Bettm; Train Smmter and Live Longer'' (Hudson Street Press, $25.95). "There's an aura of competitiveness in many men about what they have to do to be fit and healthy," she said on the phone from Santa Fe, N.M."I hang out with a lot of middleaged men, many of them former athletes, and it's really common for them to feel if they can't do a sustained mnount of vigorous exercise, then they're not going to do anything. As a result they don't do anything." The irony, Reynolds says, is that any movement is helpful, both for the former athletes and for the nonathletes who shied away from physical activity after decid-

Glenn Gehan exercises during his twice-weekly, hour-long workout. More than 60 percent of American adults are not regularly active, and 25 percent of adults are not active at all, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That heightens the risk of a multitude of health problems.
ing they couldn't throw a ball or excel in a particular sport. "Inactivity is the greatest public health concern in America and the easiest to combat," she says. More than 60 percent of American adults are not regularly active, and 25 percent of adults are not active at all, which heightens the risk of a multitude of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and dementia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "The solution sounds simple and facile, but it's not," Reynolds says. "You have to understand that the human body is
built to move. It is not built to run, but we are built to walk. You don't have to have a sport, and you don't have to compete, but the science is unequivocal that going for a walk makes a big difference physiologically. It will make you healthier, and it may help you be around for your kids for another 10 years." Those who scoff that a walk won't make you fit or lose a significant amount of weight are right, too, but fitness and weight loss are different goals from health, she said. "If you want to move from being healthy to being fit, then you walk five times a week 30 minutes at a time or
swim or bike. But you do not have to get your heart rate up to be healthy. Ifyou can't do 20 minutes a day, move 10 minutes multiple times a day. If you stand up every 20 minutes, it will help. Just do something." Dr. Rosemary Bates is an internal medicine specialist in a private practice in Plano, Texas. She often tries to persuade her male patients, who believe that they can't exercise if they don't have two hours a day to devote to a workout, that there is another way. "I tell them if you would just walk away from your house for 15 minutes and walk back, it would be so
beneficial," she said. ''Women will go for brisk walks with a friend and chit-chat, but men think if they'r e not huffing and puffing, it's not worthwhile." She speculates that men have become increasingly sedentary because, unlike women, they tend not to multitask. Instead, many drive to a desk job. The technology available at most desk jobs, from email to texting to Internet access, allows them to get everything done without leaving their chall: Then they head home and sit again, with a remote in hand, to relax and watch TV. "Men love their technology and their gadgets," she said.
Gehan, the fanner swimmer, started seeking a less competitive approach to exercise 15 years ago. Working with his trainer, Shannon Edwards at Cooper Fitness Center; he found a schedule and pace for his swims, his runs and strength training that he could balance comfortably with his busy work schedule and home life as a father of three. It's much different from the schedule of his youth, and it's a change he likes. ''I got into it for mental health," he says. "When I took those 10 years off; I didn't feel as good mentally as when I was working out. There was also a little bit ofvanity involved when my clothes didn't fit. I thought instead of going to the tailor, I'll go to the gym." Edwards says that as a trainei; his job is to help his clients figure out and attain their goals. While he's happy to help someone train for a marathon or compete in a triathlon, he's just as enthusiastic about helping former athletes ease into a less intense routines or nonjocks, who have never been comfortable working out, learn to enjoy exercise. ''Ifyou nm a race, you may or may not win," Edwards said. "But when you come in the door, you win every time because you're giving your body what it needs and wants." It's a message Gehan said he's taken to heart. ''It goes back to enjoying the journey," Gehan said. "If you look forward to seeing your t:z·ainer and you're having fun week in and week out, that's good. But if you spent the last six months training for an Iron Man and it rains that day or you have an injury and you feel that you wasted your time, then you weren't doing the right thing."
Mind games: Mental exercises are key to better brain function By Robin Erb Detroit Free Press
DETROIT - Go ahead - do it: Grab a pencil. Right now. Write your name backward. And upside down. Awkward, right? Butifresearchers and neurologists are correct, doing exercises like these just might buy you a bit more time with a healthy brain. Some research suggests that certain types of mental exercises - whether they are memory games on your mobile device or jotting down letters backward - might help our gray matter maintain concentration, memory and visual and spatial skills over the years. "There is some evidence of a use-it-or-lose-it phenomenon," says Dr. Michael Maddens, chief of medicine at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Mich. Makers of computer brain games, in fact, m·e tapping into a market of consumers who have turned to home treadmills and gym memberships to maintain their bodies, and now worry that aging might take its toll on their mental muscle as well. But tweaking every day routines can help. Like brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand. Or crossing your arms the opposite way you're used to, says Cheryl Deep, who leads "Brain Neurobics" sessions on behalf ofthe Wayne State Institute of Gerontology.
At a recent session in Novi, Mich., Deep encouraged several dozen senior citizens to flip the pictures in their homes upside-down. It might baffle houseguests, but the exercise crowbars the brain out of familiar grooves cut

deep by years of mindless habit. "Every time you walk past and look, your brain has to rotate that image," Deep says. "Brain neurobics is about getting us out of those ruts, those pathways, and shaking things up." Participants were asked to call out the color ofink that
flashed on a screen in front them. The challenge: The colors spelled out names of other colors. Blue ink spelled o-r-a-n-g-e, for example. Several in the crowd at Waltonwood Senior Living hesitated - a few scrunching up faces in concentration. The first instinct is to say "orange!' In another exercise, participants had to try to nmne as many red foods as possible. Apple? Sure that's an easy one. It took a while, but the crowd eventually made its way to pomegranate and pimento. Elissa and Hal Leider chuckled with friends as they tested their recall. Hal Leider, 82, a retired carpenter, was diagnosed 'vith em·ly-stage Alzheimer;s, and he tries to challenge hin1self mentally and physically- bowling and shooting pool and playing poker:"I think anything we can do might be helpful," says Elissa Leider, 74. The idea of mental workouts marks a dramatic shift in how we understand the brain these days. ''We want to stretch and
flex and push" the brain, says Moriah Thomason, assistant professor in Wayne State University School of Medicine's pediatrics department and in the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute for Child and Family Development Thomason also is a scientific adviser to www. Lumosity.com, one of the fastest-growing brain game websites. ''We used to think that what you're born with is what you have through life. But now we understand that the brain is a lot more plastic and flexible than we ever appreciated," she says. Still, like the rest of your body, aging takes its toll, she says. The protective covering of the neural cells - white matter - begins to shrink first. Neural and glial cells, often called the gray matter, begin to shrink as well, but more slowly. Neurotransmit-

ters, or chemical messengers, decrease. But challenging the brain stimulates neural pathways - those tentacles that look like tree branches in a cluster of brain cells. It boosts the brain's chemistry and connectivity, refueling the entire engine. "Certain activities will lay more neural pathways that can be more readily re-engaged," Thomason says. "The hope is that there are ways to train and strengthen these pathways." Maddens explains it this way: Consider the neurons of your brain like electrical wires and the white matter like the insulation. When the insulation breaks down over time, things can misfire. In Jabs, those who engaged in mentally challenging games do, in fact, show improvement in cognitive functioning. They get faster at speed games and strun-
ger in memory games, for example. What's less clear is whether this improvement transfers to everyday tasks, like remembering where you parked the car or the name of your child's teacher, both Thomason and Maddens say. But when it comes to the link between physical exercise and the brain, researchers and clinicians agree: physical exercise is good for the brain; it has also been linked to lower rates of cln·onic disease. Good nutrition is essential too. Oxygen, itself; is essential, Deep said: "Your brain is an oxygen hog." Diet, exercise and mental maneuvers all may boost brain health in ways science still doesn't understand. In the best cases, the right mix might stave off the effects of Alzheimer's and other agerelated disease too, Maddens says.

HOROSCOPES FRIDAY, JUNE 15,2012 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of those who can come up with a brilliant plan, but you may need the assistance of others to help you bring it to fruition -- for you are far more a thinker than a doer, and you are far more likely to come up with a good idea than to know how to implement it or put it into practice. As a result, of course, you will always illlve to work as a member of a finely honed, well-oiled machine; indeed, teamwork itself is the very thingby which you can achieve even individual success -- which is likely to come to you in the form of recognition for an anginal idea, even when others are credited for making it happen. SATURDAY, JUNE 16 GEM INI (May 21-june 20) -- What you are facingtoday may seem daunting, but with a little help from the stars -- and that certain someone -- you'll do just fine. CA\CER (June 21-July 22) -- An early
start today allows you the flexibility you need to adapt to changing c1rcwnstances w1thout losing stride. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not make sense every lime you speak today, but in time, others will realize that you are speaking from the heart at all times. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Prospects are brighter now than they have been in the recent past. Today, that which seem' most <ltraclive lo you is worlh <second look. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0 ct. 22) -- You know howto put yourself in thebest position at this time to be as competitive as possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It may have taken you quite a while to sort through a few muddled issues, but today the view ahead is clearer than usual. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-JJcc. 21) -- You are likely to be asked to do one or two things today that you would never normally consider. Anything seems possible right now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You
~NELSON
by Stella Wilder can teach others a great deal -- and learn a few important lessons yourself-- by sharing what has happened to you openly and honestly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-fcb.18) -- You seem to know what is going to happen right before it happens-- but not all the time. Examinallon reveals a common denominator. PISCES (Feb. 19-:11arch 20) -- You're seeking a new way to maneuver in difficult circumslance;; today, a little e,tperimenlal!on pays oif in a big way. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are considering changing the game plan, but before you do, you'll want to be sure that the current standings are favorable to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Anxiety increases today as you approach that turning point you've been fearing. You'll realize that not all is as it seems. (>I: I10P.S. For editori::ll qmtio~, ?lt:!S<!

Si\l UKDA\', IUN!ll6, 2012 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Ste!Ja Wilder Born today, you know how to treat others v.ith admiration and respect. and that is likely to win you the respect and admiration of others in turn. h1deed, your relationships with other people are likely to prove central to your life -- buih personallyand professionally -- and when things are uncertain in this arena, you may feel that your entire life is on shaky ground. You appreciate another's creativity just as much as your own, and there are !tmes when you will put aside a project you are working on merely to help another with his or hers. You know what is valuable, and you want to see it thrive. SUNDAY, JUNE 17 GEMINI (May 21-)une 20) -- Good ideas come to you easily during the Jlrst part of the day. Later, implementatio n may not be quite as 'month and simple. CANCER (June 21-july 22) -- li's a good day for you to take on a little more respons1-

SCOKPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- \'ou'rc in favor of a plan that is not popular with others, but you can support your position with compelling facts and figures. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It is essential today for you to do only that which
must not allow the tension at home to increase today; you will make one or two deCISions that seem to bring family members together. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. IS) -- Others will appreciate what you have to offer today. Give freely of your time and talents, and you'll be rewarded in turn. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your very personality will prove your greatest asset today;you needn't do much to have an impact -- JUSt being there will do the tnck. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will attract those who want something more out of a certain situation. \'ou know how to maximize gains for yourself and others.

SUNDAY, JUNE 17,2012 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WUder Born today, you often seem to have your own view of reality that is not shared by others. In both your personal life and professional endeavors, this can bring you a great deal of personal satisfaction -- but it may also keep you from communing successfully with others, since so many may find your way of thinking odd or bizarre. \'ou will surely have your admirers, for everyone can find something to admire in one who marches to the beat of a different dmmmer -- but you will also have your critics, those who see m you nne who is determ ined tn go against the current and do things merely lu gel allention or mb others the wrong way. You are often misunderstood! MONDAY, JUNE 18 GEMINI (May21-)une 20) -- That power play in which you are currently involved can teach you a lot about what you do and don't want. It's time for a subtle change.
CANCER (june 21-)uly 22) -- Contlict can be kepi to a minimtlm Imlay. even when parties are disagreeing about basic issues. You can steer the conversation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be called upon to step in and solve a problem that was not of your making. Only you, however, understand how to break a stalemate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can uncover the tmth today and lead others to a conclusion that is benellcial to all. There's no need to do something the hard way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0 ct. 22) -- !low you support those ahead of you will say a great deal ahout what you are ahout --and those in ch<rge will be impreS>ed by whailhey see. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-\'ov. 21) -- You have a story to tell, and today is the day to tell it. Don't worry about logistics and technicalities; they'll fall into place.

Mother hurt when girl dumps her son MOIHER IS CRUSHED WHEN GTRT, OF HER DREAMS DUMPS HER SON DEAR ABBY: I need to get something off my chest. My son and his wonderful -- or so I thought -- girlfriend, just broke up. OK, she dumped him. Out of the blue, with no warning, she slept with another guy and the next day she told my son it WdS over. I am devastated! 'Ibis is a girll LOVED. He hadn't proposed yet, but my son wanted lo marry her. She was going lo be my daughter-in-law, the mother of my grandchildren -- holidays, birthdays, weekends in rhc park, the beach, our house, their house, the whole nine yards. Now I don' l know who has cried more, me or my son. I know it's none of my business and I have to let these two kid5 work it out for themselves if there is anything salvageable.

COFFEE BREAK
Scottish council gags critic LONDON (AP) - No one likes a c1itic. About six weeks ago, 9-year-old Mm~ tha Payne began taking pictures of the lunches being served up at her school cafeteria in the Scottish coastal town ofLochgilphead, about 130 miles (210 kilometers) west of Edinburgh. Her photos of uninspiling school meals - one consisted of two croquettes, a plain cheeseburger, three slices of cucumber and a lollipop - drew international attention. But local officials aren't amused and have ordered the schoolgirl to stop taking pictures. In a statement released Friday, Argyll and Bute Council said that Payne's photos were misleading and had caused distress to cafeteria staff. The ban quickly became an online talking point, with free speech group the Index on Censorship even weighing in on Payne's behalf
Forest boy mystery hoax BERLIN (AP)- The forest boy mysteiy is solved: It's not true. Berlin police said Friday that an English-speaking teenage boy allegedly called Ray who wandered into the city nine months ago saying he had been living in the forest for the last five years has been spinning a yam. After publishing his picture earlier this week, police said a fanner girlfriend identified him as a 20-year-old from the Netherlands who was repolied missing last September. Neither Dutch or Berlin police would identify lrim due to p1ivacy laws, but Netherlands state broadcaster NOS inte:rviewed several friends and said his name was Robin van Helsum. A German security official ~ith knowledge of the case, speaking on condition of anonymity, confinned the name. Dutch police spokeswoman Chantal Westerhoff said he was "a 20-year-old man from Hengelo"- near the German border. When confronted with the facts, police say van Helsum admitted the truth. "The young man known as 'Ray' was confronted with the results of the investigation," police said in a statement. ''He then confinned his real personal details and admitted that the previous story that he had lived for years in the woods - had been invented." A Dutch website on missing relatives canied an entry on Robin van Helsum, saying he was bom in 1992 and had been missing since Sept. 2, 2011three days before he anived in Berlin. Robin ''left after leaving a farewell note. He was last seen traveling with a friend to Berlin. Since then every trace of him is gone," the entry on Vermist.nl says. Berlin police said even though he had been repmted missing, there was no active investigation into his disappearance because there was no evidence offoul play and he was an adult. Van Helsum showed up Sept. 5 at Berlin city hall claiming that his mother had died in a car crash when he was 12 and he and his father had been living in the forest outside the Geiman capital. He claimed not to know his last name or where he was from and spoke English but little German. He said his father had died in August and he buried him in the woods. Police are now checking whether van Helsum could be charged with fraud.
Duct tape patch fails LIVINGSTON, Mont. (AP)- Maybe duct tape doesn't fix everything. Officials in southern Montana say a Canadian truck driver found that out the hard way when he tried to stop a fuel tank leak with the all-purpose tape before going to sleep at a t:tuck stop near Livingston. The Livingston Enterprise reports a truck stop employee called Park County firefighters at about 3 a.m. Thursday to report the leak. Fire Chief Dann Babcox
estimates about 100 gallons of diesel fuel leaked from the tractor-trailer onto the giDund. The truck driver works for a company based in Saskatchewan. He says he thought he might have hit something on Interstate 90, but when he stopped at the time, he didn't notice any damage.
Stun gun used on horse CALIFORNIA, Pa. (AP)- State police say they used a stun gun and lasso to catch an unbridled horse that was rwming loose on a Pennsylvania highway. State police say the horse was spotted near the California, Pa., exit of the ManFayette Expressway about 7:15p.m. Wednesday. Police say the horse would run away when they approached, so they used the stun gun and lasso to subdue and control the animal. Police say they can't find the owner. They say the animal wasn't saddled and had no identifYing brandings or other marks. The horse was taken by Washington County Animal Control. A veterinarian was called in to tend to the horse. California is about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh.
Woman bites employee KODIAK, Alaska (AP)- AWal-Mart employee in Kodiak is taking a bite out of crime - the hard way. A 33-year-old Kodiak woman is accused of shoplifting and biting an employee in the chest while he was trying to hold her in the parking lot until police anived. Hope Fuller is charged with assault, theft and criminal mischief The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports (http://is.gd/7HYAes) authorities say she was shopping at Wal-Malt on June 7. Court documents say she entered with a large, relatively empty bag and security footage shows that bag much fuller after she left a changing room. She was confronted leaving the store by employees, including Mark Pascua, when she allegedly bit him on the chest. Pascua described the alleged attack as "creepy."

BAKER COUNTY
Catherine Creek opened to angling for spring chinook salmon Saturday, May 26, until further notice. The open area is from the Miller Lane Bridge to the Hwy 203 Bridge upstream of Catherine Creek State Park. The bag limit is two adipose fin-clipped adult chinook and five ad ipose fin-clipped jacks per day; two daily limits in possession. It is illegal to continue fishing for jack chinook once the adult bag limit is met. All other general, statewide and Northeast zone regulations remain in effect. Trout season also opened May 26. Fish began returning to the counting weir last week. Fishing pressure has been light and only a few fish has been checked in the creel survey. Water conditions are good. The Grande Ronde River is open for fishing. High flows from spring runoff are currently making fishing difficult, but some trout and whitefish can be caught where flows are slower in pools and near shore. Cooler weather has been holding spring hatches back, but we expect more hatches to come off with warmer weather. Flows are still too high and cold for bass, but anglers should take advantage of this great bass fishery later this summer. The Imnaha River is open for fishing. High flows from spring runoff are currently making fishing difficult but some trout and whitefish can be caught where flows are slower in pools and near shore. ODFW opened the Imnaha River to spring Chinook salmon fishing on June 9. Anglers will be able to fish the Imnaha River from its mouth upstream to Summit Creek Bridge. The bag limit will be two adipose fin-clipped adult chinook and five adipose fin-clipped jacks per day; two jack daily limits in possession. See Fishing I Page 2C
COUGAR: Cougars can be found throughout Baker County but hunters should target areas with high concentrations of deer and elk. Setting up on a fresh kill or using distress calls can all be productive techniques. Hunters are required to check in the hide of any cougar taken, with skull and proof of sex attached. COYOTE: Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties. SQUIRRELS: Ground squirrels are out and active throughout the valley. Hunters should find good numbers of squirrels when the weather cooperates; remember to ask permission before hunting on private property. UNION COUNTY
COUGARS: Cougars are common in Union county. Due to the mild winter, deer and elk can be found at higher elevations. Focus on game rich areas with long ridge lines or saddles that cats typically travel. Setting up downwind of a deer or elk killed by a cougar can be productive. A cougar kill is often covered with material that has been scraped up in about a 10 foot diameter circle around the carcass. Cougars will often drag their kill to the See Hunting I Page 2C

A moose slips through a clear-cut north of Elgin. Wildlife biologists suggest this state's moose population is building, but not without considerable setbacks. Six radio-collared, adult moose have been found dead. Decomposition was too advanced, but tell-tale signs on local live moose suggest the animals are suffering from severe infestations of an arterial worm. The worm is hosted by mule deer and later passed on to the moose. Also, predation is very evident on young calves as mothers leading calves in spring are showing up in the fall without young. Currently, biologists suspect about 60 moose are living in northeast Oregon.
Biologists speculate parasite culprit in five moose deaths Dick Mason Tl1e Q:Jserver

Oregon Depmtment ofFish and Wildlife biologists in Wallowa County are puzzled. Five moose radio collared in 2008 by the ODFW have been found dead for no apparent reason over the past two years in Wallowa County. Two were found in June and July of2011 and three were discovered in 2010. It was obvious that neither predation nor malnutrition were factors in their deaths, said Enterprise ODFWbiologist Pat Matthews. Biologists wonder if the possible culprit may be a tiny parasite known to fell moose - the carotid worm. Biologists have no direct evidence linking the deaths to the parasite. However, they do have reason to believe that Wallowa County moose may be infected by the carotid wonn. Matthews noted that two years ago a moose died in Wallowa County while being captured so that a radio collar could be attached.An examination of the animal revealed that it had carotid wonns. Unfortunately, biologists do not know if the five radio collared moose found

Shooting shelter takes shape on Ant Flat By Katy Nesbitt The Q:Jserver
Steel targets were on the menu at the Eagle Cap Shooters range Saturday morning, and every second Satunlay of the month from April through September. The range on Ant Flat Road north of Enterprise is privately owned yet open to the public for the steel target shoots as well as .22 tim-fire shoots on the third Saturday of each month. The Eagle Cap Shooters Club was fom1ed in 2004 and, in 2005, 160 acres of range land was purchased for a shooting range. By 2010, the land was paid off due to very successful fund raising, said President Steve Wolfu. This spring, members began the construction of a shelter to keep shooters dry See Shelte1· I Page 5C

Briefly Climber falls 1,000 feet on Mt. Hood OREGON CITY (AP) Clackamas County authorities say search and rescue crews reached a climber Thursday climber who fell 1,000 feet near the Hogsback area of Mount Hood. The climber's age, hometown and condition are not known. Other climbers saw him fall Thursday morning and alerted authorities. Sheriff's Sgt. Adam Phillips says the man had fallen from near the 10,000 foot level. News helicopters hovering above show several rescuers with the fallen climber. Zac Snow, a 27-year-old climber from Ashland, passed the area where the man fell. He told The Oregonian he couldn't see the fallen climber but said it was pretty steep where the climber had been. Good weather attracted dozens to the peak late Wednesday and early Thursday, and the conditions helped rescuers.

include Canada goose, snow goose, greater white-fronted goose, northern pintail, American wigeon, ring-necked duck, mallard, gadwall, cinnamon teal, green-winged teal and northern shoveler. Broods of ducklings and goslings can be seen in nearly any wetland. Some Canada goslings are nearly as big as the adults and are beginning to "color up" to look like them, too. Shorebirds have included killdeer, black-necked stilt, American avocet, greater yellowlegs, spotted sandpiper, Wilson's snipe and others. Most local sandhill cranes have hatched and the young may be visible as they feed in meadows with their parents. A spotting scope or quality binoculars are important as the meadows are closed to entry and viewing is best from the viewpoint or county roads. There are also small groups of non-breeding sandhill cranes using the wildlife area. Cranes can be seen from county roads in several locations. Please report any sandhill cranes wearing leg bands to the Ladd Marsh staff (541-9634954). If possible, note the color and order of bands on each of the bird's legs (e.g., pink above white on left leg; silver above black on right leg). The specific combination and order can identify individual birds. Songbirds are nesting and many are feeding young. The songs of territorial males are mixed with the cries of hungry young in the overall soundscape of the marsh. With spring foliage at its peak, many birds can be heard but seeing them can be a challenge. Red-tailed hawks are feeding young and the Swainson's hawks are also nesting. Osprey have re-claimed nest sites and are incubating. They can be seen hunting over ponds on and near Ladd Marsh.

You need to be extremely patient and wear camo when calling cougars as they come in slowly and use every bit of cover as they approach. Using remote calls will focus the eat's attention away from your blind. Above all, DO NOT MOVE! -their eyesight is excellent. Finding tracks in the snow, determining direction of travel and setting up ahead of the cat may produce results. Nonresident hunters can include a cougar tag with others tags for only $14.50. All cougars taken must be checked in within 10 days of harvest; call for an appointment before coming in. COYOTE: Coyote numbers are good throughout the district.Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Ask for permission before hunting on private properties. WALLOWA COUNTY Coyote: Good numbers of coyotes can be found throughout Wallowa County. Calling coyotes with rabbit distress type calls has been effective for hunters. It is important to choose areas with abundant coyote sign and little human activity. Cougar: Cougar numbers are strong throughout Wallowa County. Most lions are taken incidental to other hunting; however, calling with fawn bleat, or locating a cougar kill and waiting for a cat to return are often successful techniques.

Until a calf elk is old enough to outrun a predator, the best way to survive is to keep a low profile and be quiet. Mothers only visit their young long enough to nurse and then move away - avoiding the ever-watchful eyes of hungry mouths lurking nearby. Humans that come upon these seemingly abandoned fawns or calves often "rescue" them and bring them to the nearest wildlife office. Many are brought in each year. In nearly all cases, the young would be best left alone for their mothers to return and care for them. can be observed on Wallowa Lake and throughout the Wallowa Valley feeding in agricultural fields. Prairie falcon, red-tailed hawk, northern harrier and Swainson's and Ferruginous hawks, as well as a variety of owls can be observed throughout Wallowa Valley and Zumwalt Prairie. Most raptors can be easily observed from county roads. A good pair of binoculars will improve viewing opportunities. A wide variety of songbirds can be observed from now through the summer in forested areas north of Enterprise, and along rivers and streams throughout Wallowa county. Mule and white-tailed deer are common in agricultural areas adjacent to Highway 82. Animals can be observed during early morning and late evening hours. Persons willing to drive down the rough Imnaha River Road will often observe bighorn sheep north of Cow Creek near Cactus Mountain. Elk can often be observed along the Zumwalt Road near Findley Buttes. Another good location to observe elk during winter months is on the Wenaha Wildlife Area near Troy. A good place to look is along the Eden Bench Road during early morning or late afternoon hours.

For the last several years, pronghorns have been frequenting the Grande Ronde Valley in small numbers. Several come to Ladd Marsh to have their fawns.

MOOSE Continued from 1C
count during aerial surveys. Counting is also difficult because moose tend to be loners. "They are very solitary," Matthews said. "They do not group up." The ODFW relies on counts made on the ground and reports of moose sightings to make its population estimate, which Matthews said is conservative. Matthews said the ODFW will try to obtain funding in the near future for the use of a helicopter for flights which would be conducted specifically for counting moose. The Wallowa, Union and Umatilla county area had no had no known resident moose a dozen years ago. Since that time, moose have been moving in. Most of the moose are believed to have come here from the Spokane, Wash. area and the Moscow Mountain region of Idaho. Moose are known to have started producing offspring inNortheast Oregon in 2005.
SHELTER ContinURd from 1C
during snowy and rainy days. Wolfe said the shelter was funded by a grant from Friends of the National Rifle Association for $15,000 and one from Oregon Department ofFish and Wildlife for $18,500. These funds were put together with $3,000 in private contributions and $3,500 in in-kind donations. The state funds come from the Pitman-Robinson fund, said Wolfe.Whenever anlmunition, guns or reloading supplies are purchased, those funds are distributed to the states for wildlife projects, range improvements, and shooting activities. The frame of the shelter is up and concrete poured for a floor - the finishing touches, including a roo~ should be completed this smnmer. The second and third Saturday shoots are open to the public as are special events throughout the season like the egg shoot near Easter and the cowboy shoot, where a barrel doubles as a horse complete with saddle. The range is only open to members outside of special events. For more information, visit http://eaglecapshooters. com.

App attracts fish with underwater sounds By Sam Cook Duluth News Tribune
DULUTH, Minn.- Greg Bambenek remembers as a kid going out on the Mississippi River with his dad, putting out set lines for flathead catfish. In a rowboat, the two would set out 50 baits, all suspended from one long cord. When the last one was baited and dropped, Bambenek's dad, a commercial fishemtan, would always whack the water with a paddle. "He'd say, 'That should bring'em in,' "Bambenek said. "I knew there was something going on ¥.-ith sound." Bambenek, now 64, has spent a lot of his free time finding ways to catch more fish, and his latest is all about sound. He has developed an app called TalkWithFish for iPhones, iPads and iPods that allows anglers to play sounds undeiWater with an attached speaker. Sounds like bass crunching crayfish, bluegills chomping beetles and-yes - herring farts. Ifyou play it, they \\ill come. At least that's Bambenek's theory. "Sound brings them in from farther away, and it turns them into a striking mood, either for feeding or to kill," said the longtime angler, a consulting psychiatrist in his day job. The sounds can be heard up to 100 yards away from the speaker, Bambenek claims. You may recall that Bambenek also is the guy who created Dr. Juice attractant scents, liquid you squeeze from a small bottle onto your fishing lures to give fish one more reason to strike. He went public \\ith Dr. Juice in 1980, and it's still on the market. Bambenek began experimenting with underwater sound devices at least 20 years ago, he said. He lives on London Road \\ith Lake Superior in his backyard. He would drop a speaker down through the ice while he fished for Kamloops rainbow trout. "I'd crush up some eggs and some scent and make it smell like fish spawning," Bambenek said. "Then, at the Lester River, I'd record the sound of a brook. I'd play that under my hole." He was appealing to the rainbows' desire to seek out

Greg Bambenek holds a system he developed to play fish sounds underwater. The system uses an iPod, iPhone, or iPad with an application that plays fish sounds when plugged into an underwater speaker.
a North Shore strean1 for spawning. He imagined a trout thinking, "It smells like (a stream). It sounds like it. It's gotta be here somewhere." "It would bring in more fish," Bambenek said. ''I kept doing more and more research on it." With the advent of Apple's app technology and devices like the iPhone, he had a way to both market and play the sounds. The ''TalkWithFish" app sells for 99 cents at the App Store on Apple devices. Anglers can order a cable and speaker for $39.95 that plugs into the iPhone or other device. From there, it's merely a matter of selecting the kind of fish you want to catch and choosing one of the sounds Bambenek has
recorded to lure fish closer. On his website, www. talkwithfish.com, Bambenek has videos sho\\ing anglers catching salmon while playing the sounds of salmon moving gravel onto their spawning beds, catching sharks in the Bahamas using lobster stridulation calls (rubbing their antennae on ridges of their shells) and crab-crunching calls, and catching smallmouth bass using the sounds ofbass slashing at shiners. So-called hening fawrts are sounds that herring make by expelling gas, Bambeneksaid. ''The theory is they're communicating their location at night so the school can stay together," he said."Salmon and trout are hearing these
sounds. When the sun comes up, they want to be where the school is." In some cases, the TalkWithFish underwater speaker is just suspended overboard. For wading streams, Bambenek suggests wearing the speaker near the foot of waders. While bass fishing, he has attached it to his trolling motor with a bungee cord. Bambenek said he had the speakers ready a couple of years ago, but it took him a year and a half to get the Apple app approved. That approval came May 29. The 99-cent app gets an angler three basic sounds: bass che\\ing crayfish, hening farts and bluegills chomping beetles. With additional in-app purchases,
an angler can get another 21 freshwater calls for $2.99, another 19 saltwater calls for $2.99, 39 fresh- or saltwater calls for $2.99, or all 79 calls for $6.99. Another underwater sound system for anglers, called HydroWave, sells for $399.99.1t does not use Apple technology. Bambenek's interest in attracting fish with sound and scent is a logical extension of his day job, he said. ''Being a psychiatrist, I'm interested in animal behavior and trying to change behavior," he said."One aspect ofthat is trying to get them to come to you, then to get them to bite your hook."

Some fishing kayaks give you the option of raising the seat. Lower it for stability while paddling, and raise it for improved vision and comfort while fishing.
away from your fishing spot. You're also sitting low in the water in a fairly tippy craft, so it's no wonder local anglers haven't flocked to them. Fishing kayak designers haven't ignored those problems, and they've addressed them in different and clever ways. For example, Hobie makes a fishing kayak with a unique pedal system.You can propel the boat with your feet and keep your hands free for fishing. Check them out at hobiecat.comlfishing. Another example, Diablo Paddle Sports, makes what the company describes as a
hybrid between a kayak and a stand-up paddle board for a stable platform for fishing. You can see them at diablopaddlesports.com. Jackson takes more of a traditional kayak and rebuilds it from the water line up for anglers. Go to jacksonkayak.com to see how. Prices for fishing kayaks range from about $1,000 to upwards of$2,500, so they're more expensive than most other solo fishing craft. But they're also rugged and durable. With reasonable care, one could easily last decades, if not a lifetime. I've been watching the evo-

lution of fishing kayaks and wondering how they would do on local waters. Anderson has a pair of Jackson kayaks, and we recently spent a day fishing at a local pond. I already own a driftboat, a whitewater kayak and a "Float Cat," which is essentially a plastic pontoon boat for fly-fishing. I have always enjoyed paddling a kayak, but the speed and storage advantages of a kayak could never overcome the advantages of other solo fishing craft, which have traditionally been more stable and easier to control. The stability issue has been addressed \\ith fishing kayaks - they're now stable enough that you can stand in them, which literally puts you head and shoulders above a float tube or similar solo craft. About five minutes after I paddled the 11-footJackson Coosa onto a local pond, I was standing and fishing. It not only gave me better vision into the water to spot fish or their hiding spots, but it also allowed me to cast in about a 180-degr:ee arc. Was it rock-solid stable? No. I got fawn legs a few
times, but I didn't capsize or fall overboard, and I quickly gained confidence in the kayak's stability. The Jackson is initially tippy, but has excellent secondary stability, which means it's easy to tip side to side, but it takes a substantial shift in your weight to capsize it. I discovered that after I missed a paddle stroke, lost my balance and shifted hard to one side. The boat tipped, and I was expecting to capsize, which would have happened in my whitewater kayak. But the fishing kayak tipped on its side and stabilized. I was able to regain my balance and avoid an unwanted S\\im. Is it stable enough to stand in the 1niddle of a big reservoir on a \vindy day? I doubt I would, but even under those conditions I could still comfortably fish out of it. The Jackson and other fishing kayaks are equipped with elevated seats, which improves visibility and comfort and is a nice compromise between standing and sitting at water level. But there are trade-offs. Fishing kayaks were widened to make them stable, which sacrifices speed.
