Wolf pups born in N.E. Oregon as kill order weighed By Jeff Barnard The Observer

While judges on the Oregon Court of Appeals consider whether to authorize state biologists to kill two wolves for preying on livestock, the Imnaha pack has been going about its business, producing four pups this spring. At least two and perhaps all four ofthe packs in northeastern Oregon have produced pups this year, bringing Oregon much closer to a milestone in restoring the predators wiped out to protect livestock.

But the Oregon Department ofFish and Wildlife is still a long way from winning over ranchers to the idea of more wolves, largely because of ranchers' frustrations over the lawsuit from conservation groups. The groups sued after the department issued a kill order last fall for two Imnaha wolves for killing cattle. The order has been suspended while the groups' challenge is heard in court. ''The enviromnental groups and the ranchers helped craft this (Oregon Wolf Management Plan), and we're trying to

"If they'd taken care of the problem when they could have, we wouldn't have problem wolves teaching these pups to kill sheep and cattle." Wallowa County rancher Rod Childers added the department has not always followed through on killing problem wolves, even when there were no lawsuits blocking them. See Pups I Page 3A

Wallowa County and the Forest Service are back at the table trying to decide how best to manage forest roads. Representatives from the forest's travel management team and the county dove into site-specific variances between the two entities Tuesday moming. ''We are here to sort out the differences between what we had and the alternative that has been withdrawn," said Commissioner Susan Roberts. Monica Schwalbach, supervisor of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, released the forest's travel management plan on March 15, proposing the eventual closure of3,800 of the forest's 6,691miles of roads. Citizens from Baker, Wallowa and Union counties held public meetings regarding the plan, culminating with one attended by more than 1,500 people at the armory in La Grande. Responding to the public and all three of Eastern Oregon's congressional representatives' disapproval, the Forest Service withdrew its proposal April17 and agreed to re-work the plan. Shortly after its withdrawa~ Schwalbach met with officials from each county and agreed to create maps that highlight differences between what the counties want and what the Forest Service proposed. All told, Wallowa County and the forest are in disagreement over the designation of more than 300 roads. "Some roads will take 30 seconds to discuss and others will take longer;' said Rod Childers, who chaired the county's travel management committee. To address specific concerns, large, clear, plastic road maps were produced of both the road designation proposals. See Roads I Page 3A

No staff will be cut under new school budget By Dick Mason The Observer

COVE - The Cove School Board voted Tuesday to adopt a 2012-13 budget which calls for the district to spend $205,000 less than it did in the past school year but not cut any staff. The board adopted a budget of$3.842 million for 2012-13, down from its present year budget of $4.047 million. The budget calls for no personnel or program reductions, according to information provided at a budget hearing prior to the meeting. The p1imary reason the district's total budget will be down is that it will receive less federal funding in 20 12-13.1t will not receive stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or funds from a charter school grant, which it did in the past school year. The federal stimulus money is being cut because the ARRA program is ending. The school district will not receive a charter school grant in 2012-13 because it will be in its fuurth year as See Cove I Page 3A

Steve Pedecy of Oregon Wild said ranchers in wolf country have been slow to adopt proven non-lethal measures for p1otecting their herds, such as putting out lines of fluttering material to scare off wolves, hiring range riders to keep an eye on herds, and burying carcasses of dead cows. "The wolf plan called for using lethal control as a last resort," Pedecy said. ''As soon as

Following GPS positions from radio collars on wolves, biologists two and a half weeks ago walked in a rendezvous site for the Imnaha pack on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and the den site for the Wenaha pack on the Umatilla National Forest, said Russ Morgan, wolf coordinator for the state wildlife depar1ment. Four pups, each about 6 weeks old, were spotted with each pack. Morgan said the four pups with the Wenaha pack looked at him for a moment, then went into their den. There were no adults around. He added biologists have

If all four packs have produced pups, that would be a major step toward the Oregon Wolf Plan's Phase One recovery goal offour packs producing pups three years in a row.

GUEST EDITORIAL

A plague

of vaccine exemptions The Oregonian:

Certain stories have a morbid - and irresistible -fascination, including those about contemporary people afflicted with diseases that once terrorized nations, but now exist primarily in history books. Such is the case with a Crook County man who was infected by the bubonic plague earlier this month while trying to separate a mouse from a stray cat. Many people, we suspect, responded by asking, 'People still get that?" Apparently so. While the plague is, admittedly, an extreme example of the phenomenon, we tend to forget eventually about the ravages of certain diseases after they've been tamped down by modern medicine and public health measures. But many of them are still around and capable of causing serious problems. Such is the case with tuberculosis, which has evolved a frightening resistance to drugs. And it's certainly the case with the various diseases for which children are routinely vaccinated. SADLY, MANY PEOPLE have come to fear the vaccines more than the diseases themselves, which is an ironic consequence of success. Ifyou don't see kids sickened by whooping cough, for instance, you tend to forget that it can be deadly. While parents are required to vaccinate their children, complying with Oregon's !aw is largely a matter of choice. State law allows people not to immunize their children for religious reasons, but the applicable rule defines religion as "any system of beliefs, practices or ethical values." In other words, whatever. Provide a giant loophole like this, and people will use it, as they have in Oregon with increasing regularity. During the 2006-07 school year, only 3.7 percent of the state's kindergarten students were exempted from one or more of the required vaccinations, which cover such diseases as polio, measles and pertussis, also known as whooping cough. The rate has climbed every year since and was 5.8 percent for the 2011-12 school year. THE EXEMPTION RATE includes both religious and medical exemptions, which apply to kids who can't be immunized for health reasons. But only 0.2 percent of kindergartners had medical exemptions during the 2011-12 year, while the vast majority - 5.6 percent - had religious exemptions. So, why do all of these numbers matter? In part, kids who haven't been vaccinated are more likely than others to contract nasty diseases. Also, because people who can't be vaccinated, whether because they have health problems or are too young, rely upon people around them not to pass along illnesses like whooping cough, which is on the upswing. As of early this week, the state had tracked 380 cases of whooping cough so far this year, which is about three times last year's infection rate, according to Dr. Paul Cieslak, medical director of the Oregon Immunization Program. While the pertussis vaccine isn't perfect - it's about 80 percent effective- and does lose effectiveness gradually, it does create "herd" protection for the most vulnerable, including infants. I

Picking the Supreme Court Because judicial decisions have propelled American history and because a long-standing judicial mistake needs to be rectified, the most compelling ofthe many reasons for electing Mitt Romney is that presidential elections shape two of the federal government's three branches. Conservatives, however, cannot make the case for Romney as a shaper ofthe judicial branch until they wean themselves, and perhaps him, from excessive respect for judicial ''restraint" and condemnation of"activism." In eight years, Ronald Reagan appointed 49 percent of the federal judiciary; Bill Clinton appointed 43 percent. Clint Bolick says that the power to nominate federal judges has become "the grand prize in presidential elections," because presidents now choose appointees with

special attention to judicial philosophy and because hUillan longevity has increased. SINCE BARACK OBAMA appointed Elena Kagan to replace John Paul Stevens, whose liberalism surely surprised his appointe1~ Gerald Ford, the court's liberals are all Democratic appointees, the conse1vatives all Republican appointees, and both cohorts frequently are cohesive in important cases. The average tenure ofjustices has grown from eight years in the young Republic to 24.5 years today. There have been four presidencies since Reagan's, but two of his Supreme Court

appointees, Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy, still serve. Ofthe dozen justices confirmed since 1972, only one, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was 60 when appointed. If Clarence Thomas, who was 43 when nominated, continues to the same age as the justice he replaced, he will smve 40 years. Since Thomas replaced Thurgood Marshall21 years ago, no appointee has altered the court's balance: Four liberals replaced liberals and two conservatives replaced conservatives. Today, however, two conse1vatives (Scalia and Kennedy) and two liberals (Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer) are in their 70s. So if Obama wins he may be able to create a liberal majority; if Romney wins he may be able to secure a conservative majority for a generation. Contact George Will at georgewill@washpost.com

Your views Forest plan flawed from start To the Editor: Our forests have been defined as public lands owned by the government. This is nonsense. The federal goverment does not even own the land or building the forest service uses as operations bases. We pay the U.S. government to hire the Forest Service to manage our forests for our economic benefit, our recreation and to maintain our natural resources - not to preserve them. Each ofthese need to be maintained to our staisfaction. The stern public outcry over the Forest Service seemingly taking over the forests as though they owned them as they have mistakenly professed, it is obviously not acceptable to the forest users. The public has always seen the Forest Service as proxy employees and only stewards of the furests to manage for our needs. The economic benefits have all but ceased, recreation is apparently in the

sights for curtailment and there is little being done to maintain a healthy, renewable resource. Much of that has been stifled by the courts due to preservationist lawsuits and liberal judges. It is to the Forest Service supervisor's credit that she recognized the discontent ofthe users. I am troubled, however, that she used confusion as a reason. That statement implies tlmt the forest's Travel Management Plan was not flawed and that the users need to be educated. User confusion isjustifed by a confusing, flawed plan. The process for the TMP has been flawed from beginning to end. Individual concerns submitted to the Forest Service initially were never responded to if the individual concern was rejected Users had to wait until the final adoption to know if their concerns were addressed. User groups were not collaborated with in concerning any of the pending plans being constructed. Agencies such

as the National Marine Fisheries, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Fish and Wildlife, county commissioners, the confederated tribes and, of course, the Forest Service, were the only groups collaborating on the TMP adopted. The TMP was flawed in the end at the moment it was presented by maps that were too small and unclear as to the closures. The internet and DVD maps were inconsistent with the road nmnbers at the roadjunctrn·es, and the color coding confusing. Some roads appear to be open year round but only seasonal on one or both ends of that road. One road I noticed was colored grey (not recollllllended for travel) on one end, purple (open all year) in the middle and green on the other end (seasonally open). There were no other accesses to the purple in the middle. I did not look for others but have been told there are several.

Cooper is a bronze medal winner in the Thelonious Monk and Great AmeriCahill can Jazz piano competitions, has toured with the Woody Herman's big band, and peifonned with Clark Terry, Nancy King, Eddie Harris, the Nelson Riddle Orchestra and Les Elgart. His CD ofjazz sextet originals, "Clovis", won an award in the "Best Instrumental Song" category from the JPF Music Foundation in 2009.

Locally, Cooper is on the Eastern Oregon University music faculty and peifonns as the Matt Cooper X-Tet, the Depot Street Syncopators, Porter and the Pale Ales, Red Hot and Blue, and with Carolyn Lochert. Cahill is an English, French and theater teacher at La Grande High School and the litermy and drama influence he has on his students comes from his own deep passion for the arts.

Summer Solstice brings magic, delight

fthere's any place that should go all out celebrating the summer solstice, it is the Grande Ronde. We have here what I would call a flirtatious spring, a reluctant season that teases and tempts but doesn't really deliver until. .. Well, until swmner. Acunnudgeon by nature, I ignore most calendar holidays, but I absolutely revel in summer solstice. Pmiicularly since I moved north of the 45th Parallel. Ah, tlte longest day ofthe year, June 20 this year, the day those depressed folks with Seasonal Affective Disorder can skip their dose of Prozac. Lots of light and little dark. The shortest night oftheyear. We need to do more to celebrate it. It's an official holiday in many places. If anyone wants to propose a La Grande version of the wild Summer Solstice Parade and Pageant with painted naked cyclists that the Fremont neighborhoodofSeattlestagesevery year, 111 gladly sit at the council meeting and giggle like Puck as it's proposed. When I first moved here, I didn't think about the latitude much until the dead of winter when the sun seemed

MIKE SHEARER extremely stingy to me. The days were more than an hour shorter than they were back in New Mexico. Not only were the days abmpt because we are so far north, but we have the added shade the Blue Mountains provide to hasten the sunset.And then there's the fact that winter is our wettest - hence cloudiest- season. But it serves to make summer's longest day, sometimes called mid-summer, all the more delicious.

Silliest day of year It is perhaps the silliest day of the year. Hippolyta from Shakespeare's mischievous comedy "Midsummer Night's Dreain" says, "This is the silliest stuff that ever I heard." And an1id Shakespeare's impish celebration of the pagan delights of summer solstice, Puck exclaims, "Lord, what fools these mortals be." It's a day- and night when being foolishness is a good thing. Winter earns it for us. It has a rich history that

includes magic and faeries and dusts of mysterious herbs and potions that nowadays would have to come from a dispensary and require a prescription signed by Dr. Puck. Although it is seldom the hottest day of the year in Northeast Oregon, summer solstice is technically the hottest day of the year in the northern hemisphere because the sun is directly overhead at its most northern point at noon on summer solstice, creating more sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere than any on any other day. Something called "seasonal temperature lag" causes the heat from the solstice to be stored until sometimeinJulywhen we actually feel the solstice heat! Since no one has yet persuaded the city council to sponsor painted nude cycling or any of the other wild festivities that have occmred worldwide since ancient times, we should all make sure to celebrate privately this Wednesday (starting at exactly 7:09p.m.) when the sun "stops.""Solstice"is from the Latin solstitium, from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop), which until modern tin1es revelers thought meant the

sun did stop and reverse directions. It was an illusion. Maybe an illusion of an illusion of an illusion. Like most everything else in life. It was silly of them not to have understood astronomy as we can now. But no matter how well we've figured out everything, let's not lose sight of the magic and delight of this glorious day and night. No long speeches. No sennons to mark this holiday, nothing political or pious or reeking of history. No acre of birthday candles to test our lungs. No innocent turkeys to carve, no credit cards to exhaust, no Hallmark hearts lost in the mail, no salutes or devoted hands over hemts. Just madness and mayhem and primal joy. Just for a day. Mike Shearer can be reached at abqmikes3@aol.com.

Public Informational Meeting 1-84 Kamela Interchange 2"d St Undercrossing (La Grande) Project

Thursday, June 21,2012 6:00pm

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will host a Public Open House Meeting June 21 , 6:30-8 p.m., at the ODOT Region 5 Headquarters in La Grande, located at 3102 Island Avenue. The meeting is being held to share information and hear comments regarding ODOT's $43 million 1-84 Kamela Interchange - 2nd St Undercrossing (La Grande) Project that will begin construction next year. The work will extend along the interstate between the Kamela Interchange at Exit 246 and the 2nd Street undercrossing in La Grande at mile post 260.2. The multi-year project will resurface the fast/inside lane with new asphalt and place concrete in the outside lanes of the freeway, replace functionally obsolete median barrier, repair bridges, construct rock fall corrections, add truck chain-up areas and build a westbound truck climbing lane along the Spring Creek grade. Persons interested in hearing more about the project are encouraged to attend this public meeting . One phase of the project will construct new, or extend existing truck chain-up areas along the side of the interstate to provide more room for comm ercial vehicles to install and remove chains during winter weather events. A new 10-foot wide chain-up area will be added along the eastbound freeway near mile post 253.5. Existing eastbound and westbound chain-up sites at mile post 249 will be extended to create more room for trucks. The project will also add illumination to several of these sites if funding allows. An existing chain-up area near La Grande, at mile post 259.5 is being considered for added illumination.

Jean Geddes presents:

Legends split with Hustlers By Casey Kellas The Observer

The Legacy Legends had to settle for a split with the Fort Dalles Hustlers Tuesday. The Legends took the opener 12-2 in five innings but fell 7-6 in Game2. "That's not a team we should have split with," coach Shaun Cedarholm said. "I think everyone kind of came out and stopped playing (in Game2)." Legacy mixed in timely hitting to go along with a stellar performance on the mound by starting pitcher Hayden Albrecht in Game 1. The Hustlers were able to parlay an enor in the first inning into a run to take a 1-0 lead, but the Legends wasted no time responding. After walking the bases loaded, Seth Madsen came through with a two-Iun single to put the host team on top, 2-1. The visitors tied the game up in the third inning, but that was all the Hustlers would muster off of a steady Albrecht. The offense, meanwhile, was just heating up in the third. Madsen drove in Joe Griffin, who was courtesy running for Albrecht, to put Legacy back on top at 3-2. Then Kaleb White drove in a run with

a sacrifice fly, before RBis by J.C. Rogers, Tyson Wicklander and Albrecht blew the game open at 7-2. Another run came home on a Madsen hit that was bobbled at first base to make it an 8-2 advantage. ''We were able to work the count a lot. Our approach at the plate is getting better," Cedarholm said. A two-run single by Wicklander followed by an RBI double by Logan Lankford in the fourth inning stretched the lead to 11-2. The game ended in the fifth inning on a balk that brought home Jake Chamberlain and put the 10Iun rule into effect. Albrecht pitched five innings and struck out 10 while allowing just four hits. "Hayden threw awesome, especially since he didn't have his cmve ball until the later innings," Cedarholm said. Wicklander had three RBis in the win. As a team the Legends had nine hits. Gan1e 2looked like it was going to be a similar outcome, until some late-inning hitting by the visitors made it go the other way. The Legends jumped out to a 6-llead over the first four innings, while starting pitcher Jordan Rogers held the Hustlers to just one hit.

Legacy first baseman Eli Wisdom is pulled off first base during the Legends' Game 2 loss to the Hustlers Tuesday at Optimist Field. The Legends split with the Hustlers.

But in the sixth inning the Legends turned to Madsen on the hill, which is exactly what the Hustlers needed it appeared. Fort Dalles got a two-run double with two outs in the sixth before Madsen walked back-to-hack hitters. That led to a two-run single and just like that it was a onerun game at 6-5. Then in the seventh inning,

the leadoffhitter got on base on an enor after a bunt attempt. With one out, Madsen hit a batter to put runners at the comers before an RBI single tied the game. The Hustlers got the goahead run on a steal of home plate to take their first lead at 7-6. The Legends went down in order in the bottom of the

seventh to end the game. 'We need to work on eliminating the mental errors," Cedarhohn said. Jordan Rogers was two for two at the plate with three RBis. He also struck out two in five innings on the mound. Madsen took the loss after two innings of work. The Legends will return to action Thursday at a tournament in Walla Walla.

La Grande's Kennon rides to New Mexico for nationals By Casey Kellas The Observer

At just 12 years old, Kayla Kennon is already making a name for herself in the world of rodeo. Kennon, a home-schooled sixth grader in La Grande, will compete at the eighth annual National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Gallup, N.M., starting Sunday. Kennon will compete in barrel racing as part ofTeam Oregon and will be traveling with other junior high cowboys and cowgirls from Oregon. Kennon is cUITently the top-ranked barrel racer in the state at the junior high level. She qualified for the NJHFR by eaming points through a number ofjunior

high rodeos this spring. It should come as no surprise that Kennon, who has been competing for five years and riding since she was 4 years old, is a natural when it comes to barrel racing. Her older sister, Marlee, is a professional barrel racer in Arizona and has competed at events on the Harley Tucker Rodeo Series as well. The younger Kennon is using her big sister's horse, Call Me Coyote, or Cody for short. Cody is a 16-year-old quarterhorse. "He's retired from professional rodeo, but he's still great for her level;' Kayla's dad, Bob, said of Cody. The National Junior High

Mariners outlast Diamondbacks in 10-inning marathon PHOENIX (AP) - Ichiro Suzuki wasted little time reaching another milestone after a rare day off. Suzuki led off the game with his 2,500th career hit and finished 4 for 5 with two doubles, two RBis and two runs scored and the Seattle Mariners outlasted the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-9 in 10 innings on Tuesday night. "If you look at me know and if you look at me when I first got here in 2001, ifl said my first day that my goal is to hit 2,500, on that day people would say that I was crazy," Suzuki said through an interpreter."Now looking at, things do come true." Between his nine seasons in the Japanese Pacific League and his 12-plus seasons in Seattle, Ichiro has 3,781 hits, the third most among pmfessional players in either country, trailing only Pete Rose and Ty Cobb. The milestone came the night after Seattle manager Eric Wedge had given Suzuki

his second day off ofthe season. "Yesterday was tough for me," lchim said. "It was ve:ry regrettable because you want to go out there and perform but I understand the skipper's situation. It depends from here on how I will be given the day off." Wedge had no doubts spending a night in the dugout helped his right fielder. ''You saw the way he swung the bat today," Wedge said. "From his first swing in his first at-bat when he fouled that pitch back, tl1at got my attention right away. ''Then he dropped a couple in there and hit a couple hard. "It is something that he has to understand that it's not a bad thing if you get a day off now and then. I know what he is conditioned for and that he wants to play eve:ry day but what we are looking for is getting the most out of eve:rybody over 162 games." Suzuki capped the Mariners' three-run lOth inning

"I was kind of picking up where he released from, which basically was the dirt," Wells said. "I was looking for a pitch that I could handle and hit it hard.You have to have your focus."

THE OBSERVER - 9A

Heat take 3-1 series lead with Game 4win MIAMI (AP) -The pain was so great, LeBron James said, that his body practically shut down on him. He could hardly stand, certainly couldn't run. Good thing all he needed to do was shoot. Alimping, grimacing James shook off the pain ofleft leg cramps to hit a tiebreaking 3-pointerwith 2:51 remaining and the Miami Heat held off the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 104-98 victory Tuesday night and a 3-1lead in the NBA Finals that no team has ever blown. "He was hurting," teammate Dwyane Wade said. "But that's what it's about this time of the year. It would hurt more if we lose the ballgame, so it feels a little better if you can win it." Imagine how good it will feel if the Heat get one more victory. Better get well fast, LeBron. You're one win from the biggest pmiy of your life. Game 5 is Thursday night and James will have a chance to finish a nine-year chase that started in Cleveland before he fmnously- or infamously - left for South Florida before last season. "Of course it's there to think about," said Jmnes, making it clem· he plans to play. "I'll be ready for GameS." With James watching the final moments, Mario Chalmers finished off a stellar 25-point effort that matcl1ed Wade. Jmnes had 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, missing a shot at a tripledouble only because he was on the bench at the end after the thigh cramps emerged follo~ing a fall near the Thunder basket. The Heat needed all James could give and more to hold off Russell Westbrook. He scored 43 points for

the Thunder, who wasted an early 17-point lead but were never out of the game because of their sensational point guanl. Kevin Durant had 28 points but James Harden threw in another clunker, finishing with eight points on 2-of-10 shooting. Westbrook and Durant were the only Thunder players to score in the last 16:46. "Shots were falling," said Westbrook, who was 20 of 32. "It really doesn't mean nothing. We didn't come out with the win." James stumbled to the court on a drive midway through the fourth quarter, staying on the offensive end of the floor as the Heat regained possession on a blocked shot, and he made a short jumper that made it 92-90. After Westbrook missed a jumper, the Heat called timeout as James gingerly went to the court. Unable to walk o~ he was carried to the sideline. He returned to a huge roar with a little over 4 minutes left and the Heat down two, and after Chris Bosh tied it, James slowly walked into a pull-up 3-point attempt - perhaps doing so knoVi~ng he couldn't drive by anyone - and drilled it. "That 3 was just sheer will and competitiveness, to contribute in some way," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. That made it 97-94, and when Wade followed with a layup with 2:19 left, the Heat finally had enough room to withstand Westbrook, who kept coming all night. "I was just trying to make a play," James said. "If I was out on the floor, I wanted to try to make a play with the limited mobility I had at that time, and I was happy I was able to come

Miami's Dwayne Wade scored 25 points in the Heat's 104-98 victory over the Thunder in Game 4 of the NBA Finals Tuesday night.

through." Chalmers, the player who was struggling so badly that the Thunder put Durant on him in hopes of avoiding further fuul trouble, made 9 of 15 shots, scoring more points than he had in the previous three gmnes. "Obviously LeBron James is one of the most dominant players in the

game, and he explodes many nights scoring-~1se.

But we've always got his back, and certain nights like tonight when he wasn't feeling his greatest, you have guys like Mario Chalmers step up, big plays, big moments," said Wade, who had to shake offlris own aches and pains after landing hard on his back in the first half fol-

lowing a spectacular block by Serge lbaka. "That's what tlris temn is built on, and that's the reason we're playing together." The Heat couldn't have done it without James, who refused to let any pain prevent him from taking the biggest step oflris career. The Heat led 2-1 in the finals last year but James' struggles were their biggest problem as they lost the next three to Dallas. He was at his brilliant best in this one, keeping up lris scoring surge but also willingly kicking it out to open teammates whenever he was double-teamed. He tried to play through the pain, but the Heat had to call another timeout and remove him for good shortly after his go-ahead basket, and Spoelstra said the Heat couldn't keep playing four against five. Bosh finished with 13 points and nine rebounds for the Heat, who quickly climbed out ofthe 17-point hole by scoring 16 straight points, with Chalmers and backup Norris Cole helping steady them until James and Wade got going. 'We're going to keep fighting," Durant said. "It's just frustr·ating, but we're going to keep fighting. That's how we've been since I got here." In foul trouble the last two games, Durant began the game covering Chahners, an adjustrnent that :freed him :from the burden of defending Jmnes. It kept Durant safe from fouls - but the Thunder probably didn't count on the scoring explosion from Chalmers after he totaled just five points over the previous two gmnes. "I took that as a little sign of disrespect," Chalmers said.

Acquittal could boost Clemens' bid for baseball Hall of Fame court in Washington, D.C., on six counts that he lied and obstmcted Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. "I think everybody believes he was guilty in some form or fashion," said John Harper of the New York Daily News, who doesn't plan to vote for Clemens. "I think that's the real issue as far as voters go. I know that's an issue for me." Rusty Hardin, Clemens' defense attorney, said his client never fixated on whether or not he would gain admission to the Hall. "You know, the Hall of Fame thing, that's always been other people's concern," Hardin

NEW YORK (AP) - Acquitted in court, Roger Clemens must wait a half-year before finding out whether he cleared his name in the minds of Hall of Fame voters. Standmus fur conviction m·e clear in court, less so in baseball, where Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro have been bypassed for the Hall thus fm· despite distinguished careers. "I think the voters have already spoken, with McGwire and Palmeiro. I don't see him getting into the Hall of Fame as a first-year eligible," said ESPN reporter/analyst Tim Kurkjian, who plans to vote for Clemens. Clemens was acquitted Monday in federal

said Tuesday morning during an appearance on CNN. "Roger has made clear that wouldn't have driven him. "He wanted to be considered the greatest pitcher in the history of baseball. "Ifhe's judged in history by people in baseball to have been a great pitcher, that's good enough for him. If the writers decide to put him in the Hall of Fame, that's fine. If they don't, that's their call. This guy is one of the best people who happen to be also a great pitcher that I've ever known." Clemens, Barry Bonds and Smy Sosa all will be first-timers on the ballot, which

in some ways ~ill be a referendum on the Steroids Era. Mike Piazza, Curt Schilling and Craig Biggio also will be making their initial appearances. "I haven't made any final decision on my votes, but my opinion has always leaned toward the idea that it is unfair to make Hall of Fame voters the steroids police,"The Seattle Times' Larry Stone said. 'We'll never know definitively who used and who didn't use, and MLB has never disallowed any statistics, so my inclination is to make judgments based on their performances on the field."

Hargrove says it's not his voice on video tape NEW YORK (AP)- Former New Orleans defensive end Anthony Hargrove says it's not his voice saying "Give me the money" in a video used by the NFL as evidence in its investigation of the Saints' bounty progrmn. A day after Hargrove and three ofhis ex-teammates made appeals of their suspensions at NFL headquarters, he returned to the sidewalk outside the league offices Tuesday for an informal news conference. As curious passers-by huddled around, Hargrove read a 13-minute statement, making references to Bill

Clinton and the Mona Lisa and often sounding like a colorful defense attorney giving a closing argument. "I've never offered nor received money to intentionally hmt a playe1;" Hargrove said. On Monday, the NFL showed reporters a clip from the 2010 NFC championship game in which Hargrove purportedly made the "money' comment about injuring then-Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. Hargrove insisted it was someone else uttering those words, though he said he didn't know who.

Going wild

nan unseasonably beautiful spring day a friend and I were discussing swnmer travel plans. "But we don't really need to go anywhere," she said as she gestured toward the Lostine Canyon out her dining room window. ''We have this." When I first moved to Boulder there was so much to discover that I felt as if my life was a vacation. The easygoing lifestyle never made me feel penned in like I did when I worked in Washington, D.C. I had a boss in Boulder who traveled the world regularly, but he said whenever the plane started its descent to the Rocky Mountain Front Range he was in awe of the place he called home. Those years of working in downtown Washington were punctuated with weekends of sailing or backpacking in the Shenandoahsorcampingin Western Maryland. Particularly hectic weeks made me want to soak my head in a mountain trout stream and run barefoot down dirt paths in the George Washington National Forest, which I did. Even poking around northern Maryland to sail or canoe was a welcome change from running from the metro station to my desk and back again each day, along with thousands ofother harried office workers. During part of my D.C. experience I commuted fmm the Mmyland countryside where my house was surrounded by 1,000 acres of horse pasture and com fields.

Watching lightning bugs Smnmer evenings were spent listening to cri<kets and watclllng lightning bugs. Sunday afternoons I would walk for hours in the nearby woods. Over the years I've retreated from the concrete and traffic lights further and further. I don't long to escape to the wilds like I used to; I live in them. Camping is a blanket and a book in my front yard, and a hike could be out the front door or a shmt drive away. I have a great appreciation for the throngs that flood Joseph in the summer. Each and every one of those ice cream cone munchers and mt enthusiasts is here for the same reason; they want a change of scenery. Having a Coke with Mt. Joseph in your lap is not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon and those of us who live here don't take that for granted. Consider the statue of Old ChiefJoseph at his monument near the foot of Wallowa Lake. Perhaps he beckons seekers on an alpine get-away, "Come soak your head in my lake and run barefoot along the trails of the Eagle Cap Wilderness." Reach the author at knesbitt@ lagrandeobserver.com.

Strickly local Volunteer-run gallery provides venue for homegrown art By Bill Rautenstrauch The Observer

Artists wanting to showcase their work at the Blue Turtle Gallery in downtown La Grande need to meet one qualification above all: they've got to be from around here. Since its opening three years ago, the shop at 1224 Adams Ave. has celebrated and championed artists and crafts people from Union, Wallowa, Baker and Umatilla counties. Afew other venues around town, including the seasonally-open La Grande Farmer's market, display and sell local works, but only the Blue Turtle has a mission of supporting strictly home-grown art the year around. The gallery isn't a big money maker, but it was never meant to be, according to manager Sandra Young. "Christmas is the best time, then the rest of the year ifs OK We pay the rent," Young said. Young said the idea for the gallery came from the mind of Eric Laurence, the man whose family has owned the building at 1224 Adan1s for decades. Several years ago, his mother Donna Laurence retired and closed her jewehy store, leaving the ground floor space at the comer ofAdams Avenue and Depot Street empty. As the store sat idle, Eric Laurence got to to talking the situation over v.ith Young, his neighbor. He had a fairly good idea of the kind of business he wanted to see move in. "Eric is responsible for this. He said he'd really like to have an art gallery where the jewelry store was. After a lot of soul searching, we took on the job;'Young said. The "we"in this case is a group of four retired women who run the gallery as volunteers. Young was a good pick to manage the place, since she fom1erly owned a clothing store downtown, knows retail operations, and also has a knack for display. The three other women - Donna Knox, Sarah Jane Williamson and Joy Bristow - have talents that include bookkeeping skills and customer service. The women keep the gallery open five days a week, selling products while developing and preserving relationships "'rith artists and customers alike. At this point, thanks are mostly what they get for their efforts. "None of us get paid. Any profit goes back into the business, and

"We get new artists all the time, so our stock does change a lot;' Young said. Knox took a reporter on a tour of the gallery last week, showing off some of the current offerings.

Housing starts fall in Mav, but permits surge

Beautifying The Marketplace

WASHINGTON (MCT) - U.S. builders started work on new homes in May at a slightly slower pace, but permits for future construction jumped to the highest level in nearly four years, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Housing starts fell4.8 percent in May from the month before to an annual rate of 708,000- below the 720,000 forecast of economists surveyed by MarketWatch. The data are seasonally adjusted.

Yet construction in April was revised sharply higher to the fastest rate since October 2008. Starts in April totaled 744,000, up from an initial reading of717,000. Housing figures are frequently revised as the government gathers more complete data from builders. What's more, pennits for future construction shot up to an annual rate of780,000 in May from an upwardly revised 723,000 in April.

Area jobless rate dips sliUhtlv By Bill Rautenstrauch The Observer

Unemployment fell a little in Union, Baker and Wallowa counties in May; according to preliminmy figures released this week by the Oregon Employment Department. Officials pegged Union County's May jobless rate at 8.5 percent, down from

April's 9.4 percent. In Baker County, unemployment dropped from 9.8 percent in April to 8.9 percent in May. In Wallowa County, unemployment fell from 12 percent in April to 10.1 percent in May. Across Oregon, May's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate came in at 8.2 percent, a shade below April's

8.5. The nation's jobless rate in May; also seasonally ad-

justed, stood at 8.2 percent, up from April's 8.1. Total non-farm employment for Union County in Maywas 9,820, up 130jobs from April's 9,960. Much of the gain was due to seasonal hiring by local, state and federal government agencies that added 60 jobs in

May. Other Union County employment sectors showing job gains included mining and logging, construction, trade, tr·ansportation and utilities, and educational and health services. Wallowa County also saw a surge in government hiring, adding 30 jobs in the federal government sector.

Albertson's deemed 'Local Hunger Hero' C'AJmmunity Connection of Northeast Oregon paid respects to Albertson's food store in La Grande this month, recognizing the business as a "Local Hunger Hero." Carmen Gentry; Community Connection's food bank manager; presented the award in a ceremony at Albertson's in the La Grande Town Center; expressing appreciation for the store's help in fighting hunger in a service area that takes in Union, Wallowa, Baker and Grant counties. "Albertson's has been a crucial supporter of the food bank network, providing us with almost 300,000 pounds offresh and perishable food since 2009," Gentry said. Gentry said that lowincome families in the area continue to str11ggle with unemployment and high food and gas prices. She cited United States Department of Agriculture statistics that say one in six people are food insecure, meaning that at some time during the year they have difficulty proving enough food for their family because oflack of resources. "At the same time, local and state budget cuts have badly frayed the public safety net and federal nutrition programs are under attack;' Gentry said. ''While the need continues to climb, the amount of food resources is unceliain."

She said Albertson's has made a significant difference by donating food that might otherwise go to waste. ''We have been able to supply families with more nutritional foods thanks to Albertson's staff and management. The program is win-win. Our clients get more nutritious food and we are reducing the an1ount of waste in the landfills and compost piles," she said. Gentry said the battle against hunger is an ongoing one and Community Connection and the food banks its serves welcome donations from community members. ''The road ahead is no less challenging. We all need to stick together to help our

friends and neighbors who are struggling," she said. ''Many people in our community are one paycheck away from standing in the food bank lines." People wishing to donate funds can do so at Community Connection, 1504 Albany St., La Grande, OR 97850. Those ·wishing to donate food should contact any one of the following: • Neighbor-to-Neighbor Ministries, 541-963-9126. • La Grande Salvation Army, 541-963-4829. • Elgin Food Bank, 541786-8995. • Union Food Bank, 541562-5848. • North Powder Food Bank, 541-898-2146. • Shelter From the Storm,

Solar's economic impact Report measures effects of buying Oregon-made solar equipment By Jordan Novet WesCom Nevvs Service

When it comes to buying solar power components and installing systems, the state of Oregon has some advice: buy local. Purchasing components made in Oregon and hiring local workers to put them together creates more manufacturing jobs and provides more income to Oregonians who then spend in their communities, according to a state Department of Energy report being touted by Gov. John Kitzhaber. ''When we can identify and source market-competitive, Oregon-made products, we enhance our business cluster strategy and see economic benefits all over the state," the governor said in a news release. Oregon has become the U.S. solar manufacturing capital, employing 1,800 people in advana:d manufacturing jobs at 12manufacturingfacilities, according to Kitzhaber's draft 10-year energy action plan, released June5.

RealNetworks IDUSI P8V $2M II CODSUIDers Oregon consumers may be eligible for restitution under a settlement the Washington State Attorney General's Office reached with Seattlebased RealNetworks, Inc., an online digital services company that offered subscriptions to games, video and music via free trial offers. The restitution pool, a total of$2 million, is available to consumers nationwide through Aug. 22. The lawsuit and settlement filed in King County relates to RealNetworks' use of so-called "freeto-pay conversions," or negative option marketing, in which free trials result in regular monthly charges unless consumers took quick action. For free trials with a negative option feature, unscrupulous companies take a consumer's failure to cancel as permission to bill them a recuning monthly payment that is typically difficult to cancel. Over the last seven years, more than 500 complaints flowed into the Washington Attomey General's Office and the Better Business Bureau regarding RealNetworks. Consumers spoke of "odd charges" appearing on their credit cards, complaining ofbills for monthly subscriptions for premium television, sports or game content that they never ordered. The 'vvindow for making claims expires on Aug. 22. Consumers who were unkno'vvingly signed up using pre-checked boxes between Janumy 2007 and December 2009 will receive an email or postcard indicating that they are eligible for a refund.

WINONA, Texas (AP)-A decorative globe not meant for use in getting from here to tl1e1-e has helped a Texas woman ¥~in the 15th Annual Wacky Warning Labels contest. Organizers on Monday announced the top entry was submitted by Kelly Watson of Winona, about 100 miles southeast of Dallas. The 7-inch worldly item includes a label warning that says: "These globes should not be referred to for navigation." The contest is a project of the nonprofit Center for America. The group promotes itself as helping to educate, motivate and empower Americans to expand skills, entrepreneurship, prosperity and freedom. Watson has won $1,000 from the organization, which calls out silly warning labels and rails against lawsuits it deems frivolous.

PHOENIX (AP)- Arizona transportation officials are getting the message out about dust stonn safety - in precisely 17 syllables. The Arizona Department of Transportation is encouraging Twitter users to tweet haikus around the theme safe driving in haboobs - severe dust stonns that hit Phoenix in the summer. An example, from Phoenix resident Mindy Lee, who goes by the Twitter handle mindyblee: "Haboobs blow through town I In one instant it is dark I Pull over and wait." Transportation department spokesman Timothy Tait says the agency was looking for a creative way to engage residents in its "Pull Aside Stay Alive" campaign. So far they've seen more than 30 entries and are re-tweeting some ofthe best ones. An example is "Haboobs will blind you I They will take you by surprise I In doubt? Don't go out." - From wire reports

IRON RIVER, Mich. (AP) A couple in Michigan's Upper Peninsula got their marriage off to a smashing start over the weekend. WLUC-TV reports (bttp:!/bit. ly/KJgV5z ) Heather Benette and Dennis Charbarneau tied the knot Saturday ahead of a demolition derby at the Iron County fairgrounds in Iron River. They've known each other for nearly two decades and, after going separate ways, saw each other again at a wedding in 2010. Benette and Charbarneau wanted to get married in a unique way, so the ceremony was held in the middle of the arena before the start of the demolition derby.

My face makes me special and I am not making any excuses about it." Organizers say they staited the pageant as a novel way to entertain audiences. Zimbabwe already has a host of conventional beauty contests. Masvinu beat four other ugly men to land the title, $100 in cash and a night at a hotel. Masvinu said he cashed in the hotel voucher to buy fuod. "It didn't make sense to sleep in a nice hotel on an empty stomach," he said.

EL PASO, Texas (AP)- The new California owners of a 2004 car from Texas have found a more than 50-year-old wedding ring lodged in a seat. The El Paso Times (http:l/bit. ly/MD5Z77 ) reported Tuesday that Steve and Shannon Callahan of Sacramento, Calif, want to find the ring's owner. Shannon Callahan says they discovered the 15-karat gold ring last week while seeking her husband's cellphone. The ring, with several diamond chips, is inscribed with the year 1961. The Callahans figure the ring owner is from El Paso.A label on the Grand Am says Crawford Auto Plaza in El Paso. Callahan, using the vehicle ID nun1ber, detennined the vehicle the couple bought in January originally was sold in March 2004 in El Paso. The Callahans, who've been married 11 years, still haven't found their cellphone.

They say their love, unlike the cars at the demolition derby, is indestructible.

AlSO FEATURING Music

Concert series kicks off in La Grande Martins and Kunkle are currently composing originals, including one that has been rewritten over and over and over and is near to being ready for a public audience. "Invisible" may be played on Thursday evening ''if they get their courage up," Janet Martins said. For the moment, the music man, Kunkle, and the word man, Martins, are messing with alternate takes. ''You can tweak it to death,"

Martins said. "It's like concrete work. You need to know when to say when." "Ed's really good with the words," Kunkle said. "I throw chords and notes together. Our chemistry works." So what does the future hold? Only God knows, right? "The goal," Edward Martins said," is to share the positive message with as many people as possible."

Forgiven, a contemporary Christian band, will perform from 7 to 9 Thursday evening at Max Square to kick off the Max Square Concert Series. • What: Max Square Concert Series • When: 7 to 9 p.m. Thursdays • Where: Max Square, La Grande • Details: Various artists perform music each Thursday evening of the summer.

By Jeff Petersen Go I Magazine editor

Forgiven, a contemporary Clrristian band, is opening the Max Square Concert Series Thursday. The series runs all summer on Thursday evenings, with music running from 7 to 9. Admission is free. The Forgiven lineup is Edward Martins on lead guitar, Janet Martins on lead vocals, K.C. Kunkle on bass and vocals, Cheri De La Rosa on synthesizer and vocals, David Riley on piano, Jim Bars on rhythm guitar, P.J. Hurd on drums and Josiah Hackerott on rhythm guitar and vocals. The band has been together

since last November. Members of a church praise team band wanted to do more contemporary Clrristian music as is heard on Positive Life radio, 105.5 and 106.7 FM, Walla Walla. 'We play a cross between country and pop," Edward Martins said. "In style it sounds a lot like the band U2." The band plays what it calls family-friendly music. ''You can bring your entire family from grandma down to 2-yearold kids," Kunkle said. 'We're not too loud." "But we're not a snoozefest either," Edward Martins said. The band's go-to songs are "Revelations" by Phillips, Craig and Dean; ''Amazed" by Kutless; and "He Reigns" by Newsboys. The band members, who range in age from 22 to 60, have developed a great chemistry, both as friends and in their music, the

band's music director, Kunkle, said. ''The passion these people have for the music overtakes any lack of skill," Kunkle said. "Their musicianship has been growing since Day One." It's a journey toward excellence, Janet Martins added. 'We analyze the music of top groups like Newsboys," she said. 'We try to find their points of excellence and mimic their methods." Don't expect to get preached at when the band plays at secular venues like Max Square, Edward Martins said. "We're not evangelizing," he said. "It's more about the music than the message, although the message is, of course, important." The band covers songs of other contemporary Clrristian artists, now. But don't be surprised if that changes in the future. Edward

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 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 accumulations 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. her problems may be referred to the La Grande Public Works Department by calling 962-1325.

The Blue Turtle is proud to introduce Karen Lee Deutsch, photographer, to art lovers in the local area during the Third Thursday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. at participating La Grande galleries. This will be Deutsch's first appearance in La Grande as an artist. Deutsch is known locally as a jazz singer with the Red Hot and Blue Band and also with the La Grande High School/community big band. The exhibit is titled "Celebrate the Imagination." Many ofher photographs are of details ofTom Dimond's blown glass. They are beautiful images of swirling colorful glass in vibrant colors that seem to shine from the frame. But she leaves the inte:rpretation ofher images up to the viewer. Deutsch said she loves interesting, colorful, abstract designs. Her images are details of small areas of nature that she magnifies into abstract pictures. She takes photographs of twigs, leaves, ice, swirling water- anything that catches her discerning eye and manipulates them into imaginative and interesting images. Deutsch has been interested in photography since junior high school. In high school she took a class in which she learned to develop black and white film. In the past four years, when digital

cameras became affordable and much more versatile, her interest in photography was rekindled. The many opportunities digital photography presents for interesting and beautiful images, the opportunities to enhance those images and the ability to select an image from among many excited and motivated her to take her talent to a higher plane. Deutsch says, "Nature is my pallet; the photograph is my canvas. I want to free the viewers imagination and encourage them to inte:rpret my photos as they want." Karen's work will be on display at the Blue Turtle Gallery, 1124AdamsAve.fromJune 21July 17.

Mitre's Touch features landscape paintings The Mitre's Touch is pleased to

feature the landscape paintings of Steve Feldman of La Grande at Third Thursday Art Walk. Feldman, his wife, Dede, and daughter, Lexi, moved to the Grande Ronde Valley in 2006 from Southern California, where Feldman's art career started 26 years ago. "I was always drawing as a kid," said Feldman. "I graduated from the Arts Center College of Design in Pasadena where I earned a bachelors in fine art." He's been a professional illustrator since 1986 and has created more than 1,700 images for clients like The New York Times, Random House, St. Martin's Press, Scholastic, Delacorte Press, Wright Group/McGraw Hill, Qwest, Merk, Pfizer, Virgin, Chiquita and the Discovery Channel. He modestly refrains from naming his awards

over the years, but his work speaks for itself In his home studio, which overlooks the old Oregon Trail, he works with traditional painting, using watercolors and acrylics as well as digitally with a Wacom drawing tablet. "It's nice to get away from the computer and paint (traditionally)," said Feldman. ''The concentration needed to do this is different from the digital work. I can watch what I'm doing, and I'm able to move around when I work with paints, unlike sitting in front of a computer." All of Feldman's newer work is from Northeast Oregon, but his past paintings have captured the eastern Sierras and scenes from Alaska. Some of his work hangs regularly at Marie Josephine's in La Grande. "I've made a transition in my

Also, she has shown in La Grande at the Bushwhack Gallery, Arts East and the Season's Faire. A full range of Clark's work can be seen at the Mitre's Touch Gallery where her work is also available in greeting cards and prints. The following is Clark's artist statement: "My love for nature is the enduring inspiration for my art. This includes birds, animals, and of course, the great outdoors. Growing up in beautiful Bend taught me at an early age the love of the outdoors and its majestic beauty. Camping, hiking, fishing, and riding horses throughout the Three Sisters mountains made a deep imprint on me, and continues to be a source for my work. My work today is influenced by our beautiful Eastern Oregon vistas, with their splendid skies, mountains, forests and valleys. "In recent years I have added some bold abstracts, mixed media collages, and acrylic layering to my repertoire. With whatever medium I use, I am constantly drawing, designing, painting and experimenting. I believe it is in this daily experimentation and critiquing that the real growth occurs. It is when I am totally immersed in my work that I can experiment without concern for the completed piece. These are the

pieces that truly shine."

Potter's House features Schreiner's work The Potter's House is proud to feature the work of local artist, Linda Schreiner during this month's art walk. Her artist's statement is as follows: "I am interested in using traditional domestic materials to memorialize and create a ritual link with past generations of women in my family. By continuing the tradition of handwork I create a link with these past generations, while continuously pushing the limits of these traditional materials. "My interest in textiles began at a very young age as I saw my mother and grandmother spend many hours making our home beautiful and functional with all their handwork. Also the garments that were done for me

and my sisters gave us wonderful things to wear. I learned that handwork was a valuable skill. "Many of my pieces are references to my grandmother's handwork yet differ from hers while still connecting to my heritage. The threads of this heritage have become the connection that creates the ritual of weaving the women in my family together. "My work uses traditional images of quilt blocks and designs, combining printmaking techniques, to create new cloth or paper. I also print my drawn or painted images over actual quilt block, all the while striving to convey the touch and caring concern of each stitch made. " Art lovers are invited to stop in this Thursday evening to see variety of Schreiner's work. She is looking forward to meeting art enthusiasts and discussing her work.

Every Thursday afternoon, all summer long, the community gathers at the Wallowa County Courthouse gazebo at 5:30p.m. to enjoy free, 90-minute performances by local and regional musicians. The series features a broad range of musical genres, including classical, folk, jazz and rock. It's a perfect opportunity, series organizers say, to pack a picnic, bring family, meet up with friends and enjoy the music. The Courthouse Concert Series is partially funded by the City of Enterprise, The Wildhorse Foundation and donations from generous concert-goers.

EGCG also possesses antiviral and antibacterial properties, and is believed to protect against the spread of influenza and hepatitis C. EGCG can promote weight loss and may impart protective effects against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Topical EGCG can help to protect the skin from damaging UV-rays from the sun. Although most of the studies have shown benefits with two to three cups of green tea per day, the optimal dose of EGCG has not yet been established. We can compound EGCG in various dosage forms such as capsules, troches, lollipops, nasal sprays, and topical formulations. Ask our professional staff for more information.

BOOKS

Signing set for 'Blanket of Deception' By Katy Nesbitt Go I Magazine staff

What do the Nez Perce, the CIA, and the State Department have in common? A plot of evil intent and exacting revenge in Joe DeAguero's premier novel, "Blanket of Deception." DeAguero weaves Native American legend through a story that brings such divergent characters together in the Eagle Cap Wilderness as a CIA agent, a ne'er do well bartender, a Catholic priest, and a soul singer for a two-week horse packing trip. Terminal Gravity Brewing in Enterprise hosts DeAguero's book signing for "Blanket of Deception" Friday at 6 p.m. It is available for sale at The Bookloft and The Dollar Stretcher in Enterprise, at Coco's in Joseph, or through DeAguero at 541-263-1256 or via email at joedeaguero@hotmail. com. Meanwhile, the Secretary of State and members of congress conspire to dupe New York tribes into a business deal that would make them rich while

pandering to questionable foreign allies. The book is a page-turner, with a fluid stream of events meticulously linked together. The American Indian lore and Eagle Caps backdrop make sense for a writer who has lived in Wallowa County for eight years and is part Jicarilla Apache, but what about the political intrigue? DeAguero said, "I see what's going on in the world and what some people do is fundamentally wrong. Unlimited power is not good- it's wrong, it's criminal." The book started as a dream DeAguero had about a white spider. He uses American Indian legends as well as a mythology of his own creation to tell a story of good and evil and the balance between the forces in the universe. DeAguero said he used quotes at the beginning of each chapter, many from American Indian leaders such as Young Chief Joseph, to explain what people should be doing. 'We should be honest and stop

the lying, wars, and deceit," said DeAguero. One character in "Blanket of Deception", Tom, intersects the world of power and manipulation with the "seekers" on their modified vision quest in the wilderness. Tom is haunted by coyotes, known as "tricksters"

in native lore. An extremely unpleasant, arrogant man, he is given an opportunity to follow a path of enlightenment, but is too attached to his anger and selfrighteousness to follow it. DeAguero said, "Everyone has met a Tom somewhere along the line. They are very alone and their

demons are within their minds." DeAguero's other characters are a cross-section of everyday people - some more open to self-discovery than others. Their interactions are realistic and balance the fantasy side of the story. "Blanket of Deception" is about balance in many ways - human interactions, the physical world versus the supernatural, good against evil, cityscapes and wilderness. Inside everyone is a book and DeAguero says he awakes with dream segments and ideas all the time. He started writing this dream segment turned novel three years ago, but put it down to pursue his master's in Business from Marylhurst University. Matriculating a year ago, he re-opened the file of the unfinished novel and decided to see it through. He credits friends and fellow writers Dean Metcalf and Jon Rombach for their help. "They gave me real, constructive criticism. Without their comments it wouldn't be what it is today," said DeAguero.

MOVIES

Disney's latest princess is Scottish, feisty and downright 'Brave' By Roger Moore McCiatchy-Tribune News Service

(MCT) -There are so many rules for a Disney princess. Too many for Disney's newest princess, the Scottish heroine Merida in "Brave," to remember. ''A princess does not doodle," her mother lectures in a light Scottish burr. ''A princess does not chortle." ''A princess does not stu:ffher gob." ''A princess does not raise her voice." But here's the one that makes the fiery redheaded archer snap: ''A princess should not have weapons." Pixar's first "Disney princess" completes the evolution of the studio's distinctly American take on young womanhood. Princesses have evolved from sailor-obsessed mermaids to Merida, a spunky, self-assured lass who'd rather eat an arrow than take up with some guy her parents point her

way. She has duties, obligations, an arranged marriage to endure. Her mother, Queen Elinor (voiced by Emma Thompson), may insist 'We can't just run away from who weare." But as Merida narrates, her fate should be her own. "Destiny- it's the one thing we search for, or fight to change." "Brave" is a spirited Scottishaccented romp that packs female empowerment into a generally amusing tale of youthful impulsiveness and its consequences. The writers and animators blend the oafish, brawny Scots humor of "How to Train Your Dragon" with the magic of''The Secret of Kells" into a story about being brave enough to change your fate. Merida (Kelly Macdonald of "Nanny McPhee" and "No Country for Old Men") seizes her destiny when her father (Billy Connolly) and mom start parading unsuitable suitors before her, a marriage

that will keep the peace among the Scottish clans. As tradition would have it, the would-be-kings compete in feats of strength to win her hand. But she selects one sport where she herself dominates. She hopes to win her independence with the draw of a bow. Her mom says "Nothing doing." So Merida takes her case to a witch, which is how mum gets turned into a bear. And since this is the bear-hunting-happy comer of Scotland, that's when "Brave" tumbles, delightfully, into slapstick. Bear gags pile up, and I love the way the animators turn the queen into a critter who can't shake her dainty manners, or sense of decorum, even in ursine form. Merida has to protect the mother she quarreled with and endangered from a castle-full of burly Scotsmen who want a trophy for the castle wall. Merida's helpmates in all this

are her mischievous younger brothers, three wee hellions with can-do attitudes about any prank, hurling themselves (without dialogue) into the mayhem. Since its inception, no animation house has been as good at telling an adult story for children, as adept at tugging the heartstrings as Pixar, and "Brave" continues that tradition. The colors are stunning, the animation lush, photo-realistic and wet. And if they haven't progressed as far as some in animating the human face, that's just as well. Princesses are supposed to look otherworldly. It's the destiny ofPixar's "Scottish Play'' to change the way movies, and wide-eyed young viewers, look at "princesses" from now on. They're beautiful, yes. They're also smart, self-reliant and able to learn from their mistakes, as long as they're the ones who get to make those mistakes in the first place.

Folk duo performs Tuesday Submitted to Go I Magazine

Nelson & Hines, a contemporary folk duo, will be playing at 10 Depot Street in La Grande on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Jim Nelson is a singer-songwriter who currently lives on the North Oregon Coast. He has teamed with Tim Hines, local bass guitarist, to create an intriguing and surprisingly diverse set of original tunes with a few covers thrown in as well. Folk, jazz, bluegrass, reggae, new age, blues and rock are all adjectives that some use to try to pin down what it is the two are playing, but it's really Nelson's lyrics that define the music. There is a focus of nature and social consciousness in the writing as well as a variety of other topics. Nelson has lived on North Oregon Coast for more than a decade after he spent a decade on the east side of the state in Pendleton and Ontario. In Pendleton he started the Blue Mountain Folklife Society that featured open mics, concerts and contradancing. He has performed at folk festivals throughout the Northwest and within the folk and songwriting circuits. He is now on the

Hines has been playing bass for a variety ofbands in Eastern Oregon and is currently working with Janis Carper and Jeny Smith in the Alibis as well as Al "Too Loud'' MacLeod. He has teamed with Nelson to

add his own flavor and interpretation to the songs. Nelson says, "Tim's bass has added a new drive and enhanced the meaning to my songs in sensitive and profound ways. I'm continually amazed by his abilities." Nelson's music has been played on college radio stations and on public radio broadcasts.

Race for a cure set Saturday

Maybe Jimmy Lloyd Rea isn't the old blues man who's been singing the blues ever since the world began, but he's something close to it. Rea often fronts a band called the Switchmasters, but he also enjoys playing events with local musicians. The past seven years, he's been the Third Thursday act at 10 Depot Street in La Grande. There, he's often sided by friends from the neighborhood. In fact, Rea will play at 10 Depot, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. this comingThursday,jammingwith Ron Kames and Luke MCKERN on guitar, Dr. Ruth Davenport on keyboards, and Brian Kelly on harmonica. Kimberly Rose of 10 Depot said it's always an act hearing, and is encouraging people to come out for the fun. "Jimmy always does a great job. People love his blues," she said. Rea, the son of Baker

County Judge Jimmy Lloyd Rea, grew up in Baker City and early developed a love for the blues. Through high school in Baker City and college at Eastern Oregon State College (now Eastern Oregon University) in La Grande he built his early reputation playing local dances, wedding and other events. There came a time when he hit the road, touring and playing with greats like Pete Kames, Muddy Waters, and the group Canned Heat. Though he's played in big cities across the country, he's never lost his love of small town life and continues to call Baker City home. The gravel-voiced, bass-playing, blues-howling local legend has been performing since the 1960s and doesn't have plans to quit any time soon. With a new album set for release, he's feeling just fine. 'We're coming out with our sixth CD is the middle of July. It's going to be a double album with about 28 songs. It's blues rock," Rea said.

Books

Wyoming author to visit Baker City the West and to leave them out of the books would be, excuse the pun, criminal. There's actually a friend of mine by the name of Marcus Red Thunder , who is the model for Henry Standing Bear in my books and who gave me an entree into that world. I also wanted to comment on friendship and how it shouldn't have boundaries such as gender or race or age. Of course, Walt and Henry are the same age and gender, but the ethnicity and upbringing are so different- maybe obstacles like that make for a stronger bond.

• What: A visit by Craig Johnson, author ofthe book series featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire • When: 7 p.m. June 25 • Where: Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, 2020 Auburn Ave. • Details: Free admission, open to the public

By Lisa Britton Gol staff

Wlwt inspired the Longmire series? Have you always been a writer, or wanted to write?

I come from a family of storytellers and it seemed like a logical progression to write; a couple of my degrees are in writing, so I'd say yes, I always wanted to be a writer. Like most writers, life took a hand, and I didn't get started on my first novel until I was in my forties, and that was "The Cold Dish" which introduced Walt Longmire - the sheriff of the least populated county in the least populated state in America. You have to keep in mind that the nearest town to my ranch in Wyoming has a population of25. I've had a lot of interaction with a lot of sheriffs and they are an interesting bunch, but I think when you're writing first person you kind of have to keep the narrator close to the vest. I've been accused of being Walt, but I think he's more of what I'd like to be in about 10 years- and I'm off to an awfully slow start. In a cinematic, Cimarron sense, he's a hold-over from an earlier time, a kind of man exemplified by some of the characters that used populate the big screen - courageous, quiet, humble, and kind; Will Kane in the right county.

You're on a major road tour- what can people in Baker City expect when you come here? Will you read from the books?

Author Craig Johnson will talk at 7 p.m. June 25 at Crossroads in Baker City. Johnson's books featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire have now inspired a television series on A&E that airs Sundays.

This is your second year on the New York Times Bestseller List with a television series based on your books onA&E that's the highest rated scripted show in that network's history -did you ever see the books becoming as popular as they are?

Nope. I think I was just interested in telling stories that were different from the majority of stuff that's out there and I think Warner Horizon and A&E were interested in the same thing. Walt is a sheriff and sheriffing is an interesting vocation in the sense that it's the only position in law enforcement where you have to get elected- you have to be a policeman and a politician. The nice thing about that is that you're connected to your community. In

a time when most protagonists in crime fiction and television are lone-wolf characters who kill twenty-seven people before the novel or episode is over, Walt is based more in reality, with a lot of humor thrown in. About the Native Americans (or should I say Indians?) -as I read, I get a sense ofgreat respect. Are you close to that culture?

Indians -my friends up on the

Rez make fun of me when I try to be politically correct. I'm fortunate enough to have good friends on both the Crow and Northern Cheyenne reservations and am lucky enough to be one of the only white men ever asked to raise the center lodge pole in the Cheyenne Sundance, which is quite an honor. These people are incredible in so many ways -their integrity, their humor, their spirituality ... They are the bedrock of

It'll be my first time in Baker City , so I'm really looking forward to it. I'll probably talk about all the things that are going on, read a little bit and then let folks ask questions about me, the novels, the TV show or what I had for lunch yesterday- I'm up for anything.

DAY TRIP

The warmer side of Baker County â&#x20AC;˘ What: A loop drive, starting

in Baker City, that goes through Huntington, along Brownlee Reservoir, through Richland and back to Baker. It is about 125 miles, but plan on taking four to five hours to complete the route.

By Lisa Britton Gol staff

The days are wanning up nicely, as they should in late June. But sometimes, when the cool rains come, I yearn for the heat of summer, the wannth that drives you to the shade. You needn't hop on a plane to find that climate- simply drive east, to the border of Oregon and Idaho. That is where the Snake River flows, and the section of dammed water known as Brownlee Reservoir. If you have a boat, greatthere are quite a few places to launch. If you are stuck to the land, there are still plenty of options for places to stop and cool your heels in the water. You can make a nice loop drive of it, starting in Baker City. First, head southeast on Interstate 84 to Huntington, about 40 miles from Baker City. Drive slowly through this railroad town on old Highway 30, the predecessor to today's I-84. Huntington offers gas, a convenience store for snacks and Howell's Cafe if you're really hungry. Just past downtown, the highway curves to the right, toward Farewell Bend State Park (also a nice destination). But for our loop, take the road, also paved, that leads to the left. This is Snake River Road- the

pavement continues for about five miles, then gives way to gravel. These are the Snake River breaks, where high mountains slope down to the wide, slow reservoir.

Drive slow- some sections are better suited to one-lane traffic, and people are often parked or camped along the road. This road curves much like a snake, following the turns of the

river. The water level at full pool is 2,077 feet above sea level, so summer arrives here much earlier than in Baker City (elevation 3,400), La Grande (2,800) or Enterprise (3,800).

As June progresses, more and more boats will be seen on this water- fast bass boats, slower cruisers and speed boats out for a day of play. The river offers wannwater fishing for bass, crappie and catfish. It is about 30 miles to Richland, which is the next place for gas and food. There are also two nice county parks here -Hewitt and Holcomb. (If you want a longer trip, you can complete the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway, which goes through Halfway, Joseph, Enterprise and then to La Grande.) From Richland, take Highway 86 back to Baker City, through the curves of the Powder River Canyon. If you like history, pull over at the Hole-In-The-Wall between mileposts 30 and 31. This is where the mountain slid down in the 1980s, blocking the original highway and forcing the Oregon Department ofTransportation to build a new section of road. Another historical site is closer to Baker City- the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. When you get here, you're about five miles away from town. You can either tour the center, or park along the highway near an access point that leads to the Oregon Trail ruts.
