ODOT outpost at Flora might close By Katy Nesbitt

Motocross trac proposed

• Course would be located on Mount Emily Recreation Area land off Fox Hill Road By Bill Rautenstrauch The Q:lserver

Union County's Mount Emily Recreation Area Motorized Use AdvisOiy Committee heard a proposal Tuesday for grant-funded construction of a

motocross track, but decided to feel out public opinion before going ahead with the project. Cody Vavra, a motocross enthusiast and formerly the manager of the county-owned recreation area north of La Grande, presented the committee with a proposal Tuesday for .6 mile track located across Fox Hill Road from MERA's main staging area. He proposed start of construction in the summer of2013, with site

preparation to start immediately. Vavra said he thinks the track, covering 7.5 acres, would see significant motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle use, and create economic activity in the county. "I would expect it to be the mostused site on the entire park. That's just the way motocross tracks are," he said. Union County bought the 3,700 acre MERA property from Forest Capital Partners in 2008 and made it

into a multi-use recreation area open to all. Now in its fourth year as a public facility, MERA offers a wide range of motorized and non-motorized, off-highway recreational opportunities. It's a popular destination for ATV and motorcycle riders, mountain bikers, hikers, horseback riders, berry pickers, and more. Vavra said the MERA master plan adopted in 2010 identifies a See Motocross I Page GA.

The Observer

Winter travel in Wallowa County will become more difficult if a remote Northeast Oregon highway maintenance station is shut down. The Oregon Department of Transportation outpost at Flora is being studied for closure as part of$132 million in budget cuts statewide. Region 5, which covers onethird of the state and hundreds of rural miles, needs to tlim about $1.76 million in the 2013-2015 biennium, said Wallowa County Commissioner Mike Hayward. Closing the Flora Station that services remote Highway 3 from Enterprise to the Washington state line would save $140,000 a year. The two highway workers who live and work out of Flora would be moved to Enterprise as would some of the equipment, said Hayward. The big cost ofrunning the Flora maintenance station is

1905 caboose arrives

Community patrol helps combat crime By Mike Shearer The Observer

They call tl1emselves tl1e "eyes and ears for the sheriff's department in Union." They aTe the Union Community Patrol. "We have been told we cut crime here about in half;" said Jeanne Johnson, one of those active in the patrol Several years ago, Union gave up its own police department - primarily because of the cost - and it has ever since contracted with the Union County sheriff for protection. But several citizens have for many years now patrolled the town in pairs, checking business doors to make sure they're locked, monitored activities in the park, and driving past homes of people who have notified the patrol that they will be out of town. "We work hard at what we do, and we don't get much thanks," Johnson said. "We do it for our little town." Although she patrols as a p1ivate citizen, Johnson happens to be a city councilor and president pro tempore of the council in the mayor's absence. She said she started with the patrol in 2006 or 2007 and said "four or five" people m·e now actively involved. She said the late Jack Zimmerman was very active in the community patrol. They always go out in pairs for safety, she said, and at random times. "It might be at 6 p.m. or midnight." They step up their patrols during the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show.

Kindergarten attendance and assessment test scores for students are likely to continue climbing in the La Grande School District in 2012-13. Higher assessment test scores and improved attendance are elements of a proposed achievement compact between the school district and the Oregon Education Investment Board, which the La Grande School Board recently approved. La Grande and all school districts are required to annually enter into achievement compacts with the OEIB, which was created by state legislation in 2011. The compacts set targets for districts in the categOiies ofcollege and career readiness, student progression, equity and other areas. Targets which are part of the La Grande compact include having 75 percent of the school district's fifth graders, eighth graders and 11th graders meeting state

QUOTE OFTHE DAY "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject:' - Sir Winston Churchill

Burglar dies BURKE, Vt. (AP) Vermont State Police say a man died after h e broke into a home by smashing a glass window and was severely cut as he climbed through it. Police responded to a report on Wednesday of a dead man on the kitchen floor of the unoccupied home.

Debate over lire retardanttoxicitv rages CHEYENNE, Wyo. Forest Service officials insist firefighting won't be hindered by new rules meant to prevent millions of gallons of retardant dropped onto scorched landscapes each year from poisoning streams and killing fish and plants. The agency rules that resulted from a lawsuit require drops to come no closer than 300 feet from streams and lakes except when human safety is at risk, adding a new concern for the tanker plane pilots who barnstorm low over treacherous terrain to spread the fire retardant. The substance consisting primarily of ammonium phosphate also can't be dropped in areas with endangered or threat(AP) -

ened plants. "It is an increasing workload, there's no doubt about that," said Dan Snyder, president of Missoula, Mont.-based Neptune Aviation Services, which operates eight Lockheed P2V planes. "It may reduce the speed at which they can affect the fire because they do need to take those few extra minutes to study the charts and plan on how they can put the retardant on the ground and still comply with the rules." Still, the company, which operates almost half of the U.S. private fleet oflarge tanker planes, agrees for the most part that the new regulations won't set back firefighters.

Basically a fertilizer, ammonium phosphate has been known to kill off fish, though documented cases of fish killed by fire retardant are relatively rare. One case came in 2009 when ammonia in retardant dropped on wildfires near Santa Barbara, Calif., killed 50 protected steelhead trout in the Santa Ynez River. In 2002, a slurry bomber inadvertently dumped between 1,000 and 2,000 gallons of fire retardant on the Fall River about 25 miles south ofBend, Ore. The retardant immediately killed all of the river's fish, an estimated 21,000 mainly juvenile brown trout, redband trout and mountain whitefish over a six-mile stretch.

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE t896

GUEST EDITORIAL

Rebuilding the center in politics St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Former Sen. John C. Danforth has criticized the direction of his Republican Party. It wasn't the first time he had done so.lt probably won't be the last. But his critical speech was notable for its timing in this presidential election year and for the clarity with which it points to the crumbling foundation of our national two-party political system. "GOVERNMENT IS BROKEN, unable to deal with any subject deeper than politics itself," Danforth said in an annual lecture named after him and the late Sen. Tom Eagleton, a Democrat. "Here, I think, is the problem: Politics is the art of compromise, and, in today's climate, compromise isn't tolerated." Danforth was just getting started. He criticized "Rush Limbaugh and his ilk" for wanting politicians with ''hard edges." He referred to the unwillingness to compromise in politics as biblical idolatry. ''It's possible to advocate positions without worshipping them," he said. Danforth's statements are much like those offormer Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who recently decried the state of politics in the Republican Party. He suggested that both his father, former President George H.W Bush, and former President Ronald Reagan would struggle to be effective today. The former govemor and the former senator are right. For the sake oftheir party, and because the nation works better when compromise isn't a dirty word, other important national voices should take up their cause.

UNFORTUNATELY, BOWING TO PARTY LOYALTY PRESSURES, Bush and Danforth

have diminished their otheiWise strong messages. Last week, when prominent Republicans criticized Bush for daring to question the party, he quickly tumed to the social media site Twitter to fire off a few partisan criticisms of the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama. lt was ifhe wanted to restore himself to the good graces of those who might determine whether Bush is a future power broker. Why walk back the truth? What Bush said not only was accurate, but it also had to be said. He should say it again and again so that his party can appeal to the independents who have abandoned it.

Obama'stake on economy false I had high hopes for President Obama's speech on the economy. But instead ofgoing to Ohio with a compelling plan for the future, the president gave Americans a falsehood wrapped in a fallacy. The falsehood is that he has been serious about cutting government spending. The fallacy is that this election will be some sort ofreferendum that will break the logjam in Washington. Fallacy first. "Both parties have laid out their policies on the table for all to see," Obama said. ''What's holding us back is a stalemate in Washington between two fundamentally different views of which direction Ammica should take. And this election is your chance to break that stalemate." He's right about the stalemate_But he's absolutely ~Tong that November offers an opportunity to break it. No scenmio shows either pmi;y with a chance of amassing a solid governing majority of the sort Obama had when he took office_ The way to break the stalemate is through compromise, not conquest. And that leads to the falsehood. Despite his claim that "both parties have laid out their policies on the table," Obmna has made no serious proposal to fix the runaway entitlement programs that threaten to swamp the government's finances.

"My own deficit plan would strengthen Medicare and Medicaid for the long haul by slowing the growth of health-care costs - not shifting them to seniors and vulnerable fmnilies," Obama said. "And my plan would reduce our yearly domestic spending to its lowest level as a share of the economy in nearly 60years." THAT'S INCORRECT. As Politifact has pointed out, Oban1a's claim that he would reduce annual domestic spending to a percentage of gross domestic product not seen in 60 years is true only if you don't count programs such as Medicare. Of more concem is Obama's nonsensical claim that he has a deficit plan that would strengthen Medicare for the long hauL He has called for doubling Medicare spending over the next 10 years, to nearly $1 trillion in 2022. His cuts in the rate of growth amount to just a few percentage points. As The Post's Lori Montgomery has reported, the president's 2013 budget marked "the second year in a row Obama has ignored calls to restructure Social Security and Medicare entitlement programs." Nothing in Obama's speech came

close to a proposal to fix the debt problem; he dealt \vith that only at the end of the address - lm·gely by complaining about Republicans' refusal to consider higher taxes on the wealthy. Obama alleged, correctly; that Republicans' refusal to countenance tax increases scuttled the Bowles-Simpson plan and the Senate's Gang of Six plan. He argued, also oorrectly, that Republicans' refusal to budge on taxes is "the biggest source of gridlock in Washington toda}~" He's on solid ground, too, in saying Republicans would end Medicare as we know it But none of that is going to help Obama, because he hasn't come up with a viable altemative.lt isn't enough to claim that the other guys have a bad plan (though they do). As Democratic strategists Stan Greenberg and James Carville wrote in a memo widely discussed last week, Obama needs a "new narrative" that "focuses on what we will do to make a better future for the middle class_" Instead, Obama's speech was a rehash of earlier proposals -such as sending more Americans to community college and spending more on clean energy. Those plans for additional spending would be more credible if he had a plausible plan to refonn entitlement spending, the biggest driver offuture debt.

Belief in hell better predictor of crime • Specific beliefs may be determining factor when it comes to criminal acts, UO prof fmds.

By Nancy Haught The

Oregon~n

Beliefin hell, as opposed to heaven, may curb criminal behavior, according to a study published this week by a psychologist from the University of Oregon. Religion generally frowns on unethical behavior, but specific beliefs may be the determining factor when it comes to criminal acts.

Azim F. Shariff; a UO psychology professor and director of the Culture and Morality Lab, and co-author Mijke Rhemtulla of the University of Kansas studied 26 years of data involving 143,197 people in 67 countries. The study was published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS ONE. "The key finding is that, controlling for each other, a

nation's rate of belief in hell predicts lower crime rates, but the nation's rate ofbeliefin heaven predicts higher crime rates, and these are strong effects," Shariff said. "I think it's an impmiant clue about the differential effects of supernatural punishment and supernatural benevolence," he said. "The finding is consistent with

controlled research we've done in the lab, but here shows a powerful 'real world' effect on something that really affects people - crime." A 2003 Hmvard study found that gross domestic product was higher in developed countries where people believed in hell more than they did in heaven, Shariff said. ''At this stage, we can only

speculate about mechanisms, but it's possible that people who don't believe in the possibility of punishment in the afterlife feel like they can get away with unetlrical behavim: There is less of a divine deterrent." So what do you think? Is belief in or fear of hell more potent than belief in or the promise of heaven?

Man's hunger strike reaches 20 davs PORTLAND (AP) - Three weeks without food would leave most of us sick, gnunpy or desperate. Maybe all tlrree. But Cameron Whitten looks remarkably well for a man on a hunger strike_ He laughs often, maintains a finn handshake and has a ready quip when passersby inevitably ask about his health: "I feel like a million bonbons." Whitten, a prominent

figure in last fall's Occupy Portland movement, started the strike to highlight housing issues just weeks after losing last month's election to become Portland mayor. Thursday marked his 20th day without food- he drinks water and juice - as he conducts a 24-hour-a-day demonstration on the sidewalk outside City Hall. Dressed in a navy blue jumpsuit and wearing a

Suicidal Tendencies baseball cap, the 21-year-old activist and community college student spends his days sitting on a shabby office chair smrounded by protest signs and his nights in a sleeping bag on the sidewalk. To conserve energy, he generally moves only to charge his cell phone and use the batlrroom. Whitten said he shed 11 pounds from his 193-pound frame in the first 13 days of

the protest, but hasn't been on a scale since. He said his arms have lost muscle and his energy level is diminished. A policeman recently conducted a welfare check after a caller expressed concern about his appearance. The officer traded jokes with Whitten and congratulated him on his relatively strong showing in the mayor's race - he finished fifth out of 23 candidates.

There have been many changes in what we had become used to, and I'm wondering how many of them the readers have noticed. I'm sure they are aware of the change in type size and font, placement of stories, arrangement of regular features and the increased use of colored ink. It is the latter that draws my attention. Everyone can easily see that the colored inks being used now include black, white, red, blue, green, yellow and colors mixed together to make other hues, and are liberally used throughout each edition.

Legends fall to Yakima, 6-1 WALLA WALLA, Wash.- Legacy dropped a game to the Yakima Beetles Thursday on the first day the Walla Walla Tournament. The Legends fell6-1. 'We didn't hit the ball well at all," coach Brian Chamberlain said. "We just couldn't keep the bat on the ball to keep up with those guys." Yakima broke open a scoreless ballgame in the third when they put three runs on the board. The Beetles added one more in the fourth and two in the fifth. The Legends didn't get on the board until the seventh inning when J.C. Rogers scored their only run. Eli Wisdom and Derrick Peasley each finished two for three, while Jeremy Evans was one for three and Hayden Albrecht went one for four. Kaleb White took the loss, going six innings, allowing six hits and striking out two. "They didn't overpower us. But when they had guys on base they came through," Chamberlain said. Legacy will play Toyota Baseball and the Sumner Bandits today. They face off with the Salem Senators Saturday.

Miami heats up to claim championshiP MIAMI (AP) -Best player in the game. Best team in the league. Now NBA champion, too. LeBron James is finally savoring it all since taking his talents to South Beach. "Happiest day of my life;' he said. James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, leading the Heat in a 121106 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night to win the NBA Finals in five games. All that was left was a celebration nine years in the making- and two years after his acrimonious parting from the Cavaliers. "It means everything," James said moments before being named the playoff.-; MVP to go along with his regular-season award. "I made a ctifficult decision to leave Cleveland but I understood what my future was about ... I knew we had a bright future (in Miami). This is a dream come true for me. Tlris is definitely when it pays off." James left the game along with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for good with 3:01 remaining for a round of hugs and the stm:t for a party he's been waiting for since arriving in the NBA out ofhigh school as the No. 1 pick of the 2003 draft. James hopped up and down in the final minutes, shared a long hug with opponent Kevin Durant, and then smiled as he watched the confetti rain down from the rafters. "It's about damn time. It's

about damn time," James said. He was a choker last year, the guy who came up small in the fourth quarter, mocked for "shrinking" in the moment while playing with what he called '1tatred" in trying to prove Iris critics wrong. He came to Mianri seeking an easier road to the finals but found it tougher than hoped, the Heat coming up empty last year and nem:·ly getting knocked out in the Eastern Conference finals this time by Boston. Facing elimination there, James poured in 45 points on the road to force a Game 7 and the Heat won it at home. "It was the hardest thing I've ever done as a basketball player," Jan1es said. ''You just put a lot of hard work into it and you hope that one day it will pay offfor you." This time, with a chance to clinch, the Heat took control in the second quarter, briefly lost it and blew the game open again in the third behind their role players, Jan1es content to pass to wide-open 3-point shooters while the Thunder focused all their attention on him. The disappointment oflosing to Dallas in six games a year ago vanished in a blowout ofthe demoralized Thunder, who got 32 points and 11 rebounds from Durant. Bosh and Wade, the other members of the Big Three who sat alongside James as he promised titles at his Miami welcoming party, both had strong games. Bosh, who

wept as the Heat left their own court after losing Game 6 last year, finished with 24 points and Wade scored 20. The Heat also got a huge boost from Mike 1\lliller, who made seven 3-pointers and scored 23 points. That all made it easier for James, the most heavily scrutinized player in the league since his departure from Cleveland, when he announced he was "taking his talents to South Beach'' on a TV special called ''The Decision" that was criticized everywhere from water coolers to the commissione1;s office. James has said he wishes he handled things differently, but few who watched the Cavs fail to assemble championship talent around hin1 could have argued with his desire to depart. He found in Miami a team where he never had to do it alone, though he reminded everyone during this sensational postseason run that he still could when necessary. He got support whenever he needed it in this series, from Shane Battiers 17 point-; in Game 2 to Mario Chalmers' 25inGame4. In the clincher it was Miller, banged up from so many injuries that he limped from the bench to scorer's table when he checked in. He made his fourth 3-pointer of

Chicago in 1996. Westbrook scored 19 but made only four ofhis 20 shots, unable to come up with anything close to his 43-point outing in Game 4, and Harden finished a miserable se1ies witlt19. "It hurts, man," Durant said. 'We're all brothers on this team and it just hurts to go out like this. We made it to the finals, which was cool for us, but we didn't want to just make it there. Unfortunately we lost, so it's tough." Nothing they did could have stopped James, anyway. Appearing fully over the leg cramps that forced him to sit out the end of Game 4, he was dominant again, a combination of strength and speed that is practically unmatched in the game and rarely seen in its history. Wade skipped to each side of the court before the opening tip with arms up to pump up the fans, then James showed them nothing wrong with his legs, throwing down an emphatic fast-break dunk to open the scoring. He made consecutive baskets while being fouled, showing no expression after the second, as if he'd hardly even known he was lilt. Th·awing so much attention from the Thunder, he started finding his wide-open shooters, and the Heat built a nine-point lead before going to the second up 31-26. Oklahoma City got back within five early in the third before consecutive 3-pointers by Chalmers and Battier triggered a 27-7 burst that made it 88-63 on another 3-pointer by Miller.

Coaching is alabor otlove in college rodeo CASPER, Wyo. (AP)Casper College rodeo coach Tom Parker delivered a handful of$20 bills to roughstock riders Justin Moldaschel and Zach Phillips during Saturdays College National Finals Rodeo contestant check-in at the Casper Events Center. "That's the part these guys like," Parker said with a wry grin.

Per diems. Mileage reimbursements. Cash prizes. Clearly the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association isn't sanctioned by the NCAA. In fact, you'd be hardpressed to find a more efficiently run club sport in college athletics. Those in the know give much ofthe credit to coaches like Parker, now in his 22nd year with the Thunderbirds. "The role of the coach is to make sure we have everything we need to succeed," Phillips said. For Parker that means, but is not limited to: -Transporting livestock to and from practice at the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds during the fall (Sept. 1 through Nov.1) and sp1ing (Feb. 1-late May) seasons. - Running daily fourhour practices fur 50-some contestants. -Consistently hammering home, following up on and

''I think it's becoming more of a specialized deal," said Aragon, who took over a nearly defunct Mesalands Community College (Tucumcari, N.M.) program in 2007 and quickly tumed it around. Aragon and his youthful vigor represent the NIRRs past successes as much as its present and future growth. He competed in team roping at the collegiate level in the

late 1990s and last qualified for the professional Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in 2006 while conducting roping clinics. Now he's lending his enthusiasm, fundraising skills and hands-on experience to a new generation of cowboys and cowgirls. Mesalands had a total of five contestants when Aragon arrived. Today it has 43, including 10 at this week's CNFR. The program qualified for the CNFR as a team from 2009 to now, and Aragon was named NIRA Coach of the Year in 2010. As a full-time member of the college's student services and academic affairs office, he is eligible to serve on the NIRRs 11-member faculty board, which governs college rodeoalongwithan 11-member student board. The NIRA was fanned in 1949 by students and faculty and it remains self-supported to this day. ''A lot of people have asked me why this works," Else said.

Sandusky jury back deliberating BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) - Jurors in Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial listened again Friday to testimony from a key prosecution witness against the forn1er Penn State assistant fuotball coach, then went back behind closed doors for a second day of deliberations. The jury had talked for more than eight hours Thursday before adjouming at tl1e end of a long session that featured dueling portrayals of Sandusky as a "predatory pedophile" or the victim of a conspiracy between investigators and his accusers.

They started their second day by rehearing testimony given by another Penn State assistant, Mike McQueary, about an unknown boy alleged assaulted by Sandusky inside a football facilicy shower. The jurors took copious notes, appearing to pay close attention to McQuear:Ys statement that he did not see penetration, but did see a boy pressed up against a wall with Sandusky behind him. Jurors also reheard the testimony of a McQueary family friend, Dr. Jonathan Dranov.

Oregon Department of Transportation runs two shifts a day and the two highway workers stationed in Flora cover four days a week combined, the rest of the coverage comes out of Enterprise, said Hayward. The cost-saving measures would save jobs, but could slow traffic during winter storms. Highway 3 is also

request. Kehr said this would further the development of the students' wrestling skills and help them be more successful in high school competition. Kehr also said allowing sixth-graders to join the teain would not cost the school district any money in part because of the pay to play fees the fainilies of the wrestlers would have to pay. LMS assistant Principal Brett Jackman said he is a supporter of wrestling but said he was opposed to having having sixth graders join the wrestling team because of a fiscal concern. Jackman fears if sixth graders ai'e allowed to join the teain, parents and community members will be pushing to have sixth graders allowed to play on LMS's other athletic teains. Jackman said allowing sixtlt graders to join these teains might increase the cost of operating LMS's athletic prograin, an increase it might not be able to afford. Glaze agreed to meet Kehr and Jackman to develop a plan for allowing sixth graders to wrestle at LMS which would address the concerns expressed.

She said over-all the town's reaction has been positive but added, ''We have certain teenagers that think we're ruining the fun for them by not letting them tear up the park. A couple of years ago the park had a rowdy crowd.You wouldn't want your little kids there." She

said the park is much safer now. She emphasized those on patrol don't car.ry guns and they don't confront anyone. ''Ifthey're not doing anything wrong, we don't bother them," she said. "But if anything is out of the ordinary, we call the sheriff"And she has praise for the speed with which the sheriff responds. She said tltey also might ask the sheriff to check on the welfare of senior citizens if no one has seen them for a while. "Our seniors and our businesses are important to us. And the safety of our children is important to us because those little kids are going to run this town some day."

Swim free In memory of Elgin civic leader

Poo

ByTrish Verges Correspondent

The Jessie and Lee McDonald Memorial Pool at the Elgin Community Center will be open for a free swim from 1 to 5 p.m. today in honor of the late Jessie McDonald. McDonald wasbomJune 22,1927, in Elgin, and she became an active community McDonald leader during her lifetime. She had a special interest in developing a community center and pool in Elgin. McDonald seiVed on the City Council and became a chiving force in the consb:uction of the community center and pool in 1970. She also was a strong advocate of swimming lessons. The pool was dedicated to Jessie and Lee McDonald on July 23, 2009. Ludwig told her about the pool's new dedication name, and she was humbly grateful to be remembered this way. McDonald died two weeks later on Aug. 18, 2009. "During her lifetime, Jessie never learned how to swim but she knew the importance of it for the kids," said Ludv.lig. Ludwig said he met McDonald in 1986, and that she recruited him to help at the community center's annual benefit auction. The benefit auction helps to raise thousands of dollm·s each sp1ing to maintain and improve the building that McDonald poured her heart into. Kids are invited to enjoy "Jessie Day'' at the pool. Not only will admittance be free, but the pool staff will be handing out free popsicles to the kids too, Ludwig said.

• Four public swim sites provide opportunity to have fun, improve health By Dick Mason The Observer

Swimming is considered by many as one of the most healthful of activities. Swimmers exercise their heart, lungs and muscles while experiencing very little joint sb:·ain. Anyone looking for safe local places to swim this summer need to look no further than three public pool sites in Union County plus the Sarn-O Center (YMCA) in Baker City. Here is information about prices and hours.

COVE WARM SPRINGS POOL, COVE • The pool is open from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday fur recreational svvimming. The pool is closed on Mondays. • Admission: $7 for adults and $4 for children 6 and under. All children 6 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Accessories such as goggles and nose clips are sold at the pool. Cove Warm Springs Pool is fed by a spring that keeps the water temperature at 86 degrees. The pool is owned by Dave and Teckla Cline. The outdoor pool will remain open through August. Information: 541-568-4890

bercise will change vour lite, and here's whv By Maureen O'Hagan The SeattleTimes

SEATTLE - One afternoon not long ago, a friend and I were talking at her dining-room table, and I'll admit it, we were feeling a bit self-righteous. We'd gone bowling with her parents, and we both noticed her mom could barely roll the lightest ball down the alley. She sb:uggled with a lot ofother tasks, too. We didn't think of her as an elderly person. But there she was, lookingfeeble. 'Well," my friend said, shaking her head, "she doesn't really exercise." I nodded kno~ingly. The way my friend m1d I see it, there are two kinds of people: exercisers and everyone else. We - the exercisers prefer to sweat, not sit. They - we11 call them "the relaxers"- prefer to read, not run. They think we're nuts. We think they're slowly letting themselves wither.

We'll call this The Great Divide, and my friend and I patted ourselves on the back for being on the right side of it. Then we got up to leave. "Ouch," I ·winced, grabbing at my hamstrings. "I'm sooooo sore!" she groaned. And as we hobbled away, we felt decidedly less smug. Are you laughing at us? Nodding sympathetically? Either way, we'll hazard a guess:Whichever side of The Great Divide you're on, you can't imagine living the other way. "People internalize an image of themselves as an exerciser or not," says David B. Cappel, a sports psychologist at the University ofWashington. So before we go any further, I'll confess. I used to think people like me - who exercise four, five, six times a week - were crazy.Three years ago, I desc1ibed my physical condition as be-

THE FACTS: • Mortality rate for Colorectal Cancer in Union County is higher than both the State & National averages.* • Colorectal Sc reenings in Union County lag behind the State average by 8%.*

ing "what you might expect fur someone who types for a living." Another confession: Despite the incident at the dining-room table, this article is not going to say exercise is bad for you. Sorry, relaxers. Because we can hear the complaints already, we will admit that at times, if you go overboard, it can definitely beat you up. OK, it can beat you up even if you don't go overboard. But we're going to explain that, too. So stick ·with us as we take a run at some of the biggest hurdles to becoming an exerciser. I'm perfectly fine the way I am, thank you. I'm not even overweight. The b:uth is, getting up and moving is good even if you're thin. It turns out being sedentary is a health risk. Period. It's up there with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, See Exercise I Page 2B

It's time you got serious about screening.

HEALTH & FITNESS

EXERCISE Continued from !B

even smoking, according to a 2010 article in the Jownal of the American Heart Association. In fact, fitness level is a "more powerful predictor'' of survival than traditional risk factors, the joumal says. That means an active person who's overweight can have a better prognosis than a thin, sedentary person. Really? Yes. Exercise: -Can reduce your risk of getting, or dying from, certain cancers; -Can delay or avert Type II diabetes, as well as reduce your mortality risk ifyou have diabetes; -Can help maintain your cognitive function into old age. Is that enough? OK, one more thing: Studies - including one by the American Cancer Society - have shown that sitting itself can take years off your life. It's not just that you're burning fewer calories. It's that certain bodily processes go silent - processes that do things like regulate your insulin and get the fat out of your bloodstream. "Excessive sitting," a Mayo Clinic researcher was quoted in The New York Times as saying, "is a lethal activity." But I do exercise ... sometimes. That's what a lot of people tell themselves. In surveys, a consistent 30 to 35 percent of people report moderate to vigorous levels ofphysical activity. But in the past few years, researchers have begun to outfit study pariicipants with devices that record movement, and the truth has come out: Fewer than 5 percent of adults are doing the recommended level of activity. Do I really need this? I'm young and healthy. Yes, says Kevin Conley, a University ofWashington radiology professor who has developed contraptions to measure muscle activity as well as something in the muscles called mitochondria. These ar-e the powerhouses, where the body turns fuel into activity. Conley compared three groups: active adults, inactive adults and the elderly, and looked at fitness in a variety of ways. As expected, the seniors had fewer mitochondria. But so did the inactive adults. In fact, in each area measured, the inactive adults had scores that were close to - or worse than - the old folks.

At 82, AI Erid<son's got more pep than people half his age. Scientists are finding that being sedentary can cause the body to age prematurely.

"Inactivity does the same thing as aging," Conley says. "It was so astonishing at first I didn't believe it myself" Why should you care? Because it becomes a vicious cycle. Don't exercise and your mitochondria decline, which makes you less able to move, which leads to fewer mitochondria and so on. The moral of the story is, you can choose to get old before your time. But fm so out of shape. This is a pet peeve of another local academic, Glen Duncan, associate professor of epidemiology and nutritional sciences at the UW "I get very frustrated when people say things like, 'I can't walk up the steps,"' he says. ''The reason you can't walk up the steps is because you're deconditioned, and the Thursdays. • Lap swims: 8-9 a.m. and 5-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. • Teen swims: 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays. • Admission - Adults $4, youths ages 2-17 $2.

reason you're deconditioned is because you never walked up the steps." He pauses. "You did it to yourself" Didn't you hear me? I said I can't walk up the steps. OK, don't walk up the steps (yet). Try strength training. Every local expert we talked to, as well as a number of national groups, say strength training, like weight lifting, can be more important than aerobic activity, especially as we age. Ifyou don't maintain your strength, things start to slide. It might be the stairs that give you trouble first. Then it's flat ground. Then it's getting out of a chair. Seriously. It happens. I'm afraid I'm going to hurt myself

You're right: When you exercise, you're putting strain on your muscles, your bones, the whole shebang. But that

very stress is what tells the body to build. Scientifically speaking, says Michael Regnier, a bio-

engineering professor at the University ofWashington, ''When you exercise, it stimulates the release of hormones that signal the cells to start protein synthesis." When you lift a heavy load, it puts compressive forces on your bones. Those compressive forces tell the bones - uh-oh, we'd better get stronger. It increases their density. Cartilage, as well, gets its nutrients from moving. So you are stressing your body; you're also building it up. But I'm afraid I'm really going to hurt myself Perfectly reasonable. How many times have you read the warning, "Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise prograrn"? It used to be that health authorities thought it could put people at risk of a sudden heart attack. The advice has always been, take it easy! Regnier thinks people have followed that advice a little too well. ''They've over-minimized," he says. Health authorities now believe it's riskier not to exercise. "Sudden death," a major federal report says, "is, more accurately, a risk of inactivity." But I'm too old! Why bother at this point? Admittedly, when we age, our bodies tend to fall apart on us. But professor Conley found something interesting with his mitochondria-measuring contraption. Scientists used to think the decline of those powerhouses was inevitable, and that it started as early as the 40s and 50S. The bad news is, it is inevitable. The good news is, the inevitable part doesn't start in middle age. We can stave it off until we're in our 70s or 80s - if we take the time to exercise.

HOROSCOPES FRIDAY, JUNE22, 2012 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of the most vibrant, colorful and attractive individuals born on your sign -- and there is a certain sexiness about you that is neither cultivated nor intended; rather, it is just a part of you-no different, really, than an arm or a leg! Because of this, you are likely to enJOY quite an exciting romantiC life, even when you are young, and you will attract all kinds of people into your orbit -- so you v.ill always have a wide variety to choose from when you are seeking your next romantic partner. You are almost sure to leave many broken hearts in your wake. SATURDAY, JUNE 23 CANCER (June 21-)uly 22) -- You must digest informal!on as quickly as possible in order to keep yourself open to the options that will be presented later on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- No lack of confidence will stop you from doing what must be

done today; even if you have doubts, your daring and expertise will do the trick. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be excited by the options that are presented to you today, though you may have to make some adjustments to your schedule. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 22) -- It's a good day for reaching out to those who are feeling your absence more strongly than before-- and you know who they are. SCORPIO (Oct, 23-Nov, 21) -- Those who are ready to follow you will offer you more than support as you prepare for what lies ahead. Others need not hold you back. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will have the right words to offer when words are needed -- but take care that you don't actually say too much. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-)an. 19) -- You may disoover, quite to your own surprise, that you have been skipping a few essential steps in your attempts to pick up the pace. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone

by Stella Wilder you trust is ready for you to share an insight or two -- and he or she will give you the feedback you truly need. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your emotions are quite near the surface today, and the smallest thing may be enough to elicit quite a vocal reaction from you. ARIES (March 21 -Aprill9) -- You'll know what another needs today because you are so familiar with his or her sttuation. Past experience serves you well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An undesirable turn oi events can be alleviated simply by using more tact than usual when speaking about what has been done. GEMINI (May21-June 20) -- That which has been drawing your attention toward the future will seem to take on a different look

LOS ANGELES (AP) - After failing to stop the debut of ABC's "The Glass House," CBS is trying another tactic against its competitor: sarcasm. CBS argued in court last week that the ABC show is a copy of CBS' "Big Brother." But a judge refused to bar "Glass House"fium airing, saying he wasn't persuaded that CBS would be harmed by it. So CBS issued a tongue-in-cheek news release Wednesday claiming it's developing a reality series called "Dancing on the Stars" - a jab at ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." CBS says the mock series will air from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles and feature "moderately fanwus and sort of well-known people" who will compete by dancing on stars' graves. A spokesman confumed the release came from CBS but wouldn't elaborate. ABC declined comment.

He told The SWl Herald afterward (http://bit.ly/KomkZV ) that it was windy for about the first 30 seconds of the walk, then the breeze calmed down. An estimated 10,000 people gathered to watch the daredevil, who wore a microphone during his perfonnance.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -A hacked road sign in Louisville instructed motorists to "honk ifyou're horny'' and ''beware of zombies," prompting the city's public works department to investigate who was changing the messages on the electronic message board. Lindsay English, a spokeswoman for the Metro Public Works and Assets, told The Courier-Journal (http:// cjky.it/NmwkqZ ) that the sign on Brownsboro Road was hacked twice on Tuesday and Wednesday. She said the signs are operated through a subcontractor, SafetyCo., which was investigating how the electronic signs were reprogrammed. The signs are password-protected and were changed as soon as the city was notified.

HUNTING Report BAKER COUNTY

TURKEY: General spring turkey season has ended. SPRING BEAR: Spring bear season has ended. 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

SPRING BEAR: Spring bear season is closed. TURKEY: Spring turkey season is closed. GROUND SQUIRRELS: Squirrels are now up and active. The best hunting is often on warm days after the rain and cold weather. Remember, always ask first to hunt on private land. See Hunting I Page 2C

VIEWING Report BAKER COUNTY

Bald and golden eagles can be seen along open water areas of the Snake River and Brownlee Reservoir. For best viewing, drive the Snake River Road between Richland and Huntington. Turkeys can be seen and heard throughout the county in the transitional zone between the forest and the valley. Agood area to look is on the Elkhorn Wildlife Area. Deer and elk are steadily moving toward traditional spring ranges. The first deer fawns and elk calves are hitting the ground now. Remember to leave any newborn animals where you found them. Many times the mother is still close by and will return later to pick it up. Bighorn sheep can be seen in the Burnt River Canyon west of Durkee or along the Snake River Road south of Richland. Ewes are with lambs now and can usually be found in higher elevation areas with rugged terrain. In some cases, prolonged glassing is required to locate the sheep. Canada geese goslings are starting to be found on waterways throughout Baker County. UNION COUNTY LADD MARSH WILDLIFE AREA

Brook trout plentiful at easily accessible Van Patten Lake By Jayson Jacoby Baker City Herald

Ifyou want to walk where a glacier once flowed, the Elkhorn Mountains are fertile ground. Except it's not what any traveler less agile than, say, a mountain goat would call easy ground. Among the half a dozen major valleys in the Elkhorns, and more than a dozen lesser ones, that were sculpted by rivers ofice ten.s or hundreds of thousands of years ago, most deserve that well-worn adjective applied to untrammeled places: Remote. Which is to say, they're not easy to get to whether you're driving or hiking. Or a combination of the two. One destination that comes close, though, to qualifying as an exception to that general rule is Van Patten Lake. The walk to this alpine lake in the Elkhorns near Anthony Lakes Ski Area is rather more taxing than a stroll through La Grande's Riverside Park or along Baker City's Leo Adler Memorial Parkway, to be sure. But neither does the 3-mile round trip require anything like the preparation for an expedition to Everest or K2. Or, to use a more familiar local example, stocking up for a weekend backpacking journey into the Eagle Cap Wilderness. You won't need as much beefjerky, to put it another way. Van Patten Lake's biggest advantage, in terms of accessibility, is that the hike starts just a few humh'ed yards from the paved Anthony Lakes Highway. This site is known as Little Alps - though not as often as it used to be. There was a ski area here before the current Anthony Lakes resort, about 3 miles to the west, opened. These days Little Alps is the place where snowplow drivers go to load their trucks with gravel to spread on the snow-covered highway. Technically, the first mile ofthe hike follows a road rather than a trail. But describing this route as a "road" requires a, well, generous definition of that word. Fortunately, you don't have to pit your rig's oil pan and other sensitive bits against the granitic fangs that jut from the track. Walking around them is much easier. The route climbs steadily, but never terribly steeply, through a forest oflodgepole pine and subalpine fir, making one switchback along the way. The "road" ends after a mile, and an elevation gain of about 700 feet, at a tiny turnaround that is the official trailhead. There's a signboard here with a curious accessory: A foot-long length of PVC pipe stuffed, literally, with sharpened pencils (their tips, fortunately, pointing down.) These are provided for hikers willing to fill out a fishing survey, copies of which are also supplied. Angling is an approptiate topic, as Van Patten is well endowed with small (generally less than 12 inches) but feisty eastern brook trout. The typical alpine tactics should work on these trout - worms, salmon eggs, PowerBait, maybe a Rooster Tail

At nearly 20 acres, Van Patten Lake is one ofthe bigger lakes in the Elkhorn Mountains. Fortunately for hikers, it's also one of the easiest to get to.

On June 16 a few patches of ice still floated on Van Patten Lake near Anthony Lakes. The lingering ice, as well as snowdrifts around the lake, should melt by early July.

IF YOU GO To get to the trailhead at Little Alps From La Grande, drive Interstate 84 to North Powder, then follow signs to Anthony Lakes From Baker City, drive Highway 30 to Haines, then fo llow signs to Anthony Lakes About 3 miles before Anthony Lakes Ski Area (31 miles from Baker City, 43 miles from La Grande), turn left at a sign for Van Patten Lake trail. Follow the gravel road a couple hundred yards. There's ample parking beside the road or in the turnaround next to the gravel piles. The trail (actually an old road) starts on the east side or other small spinning lure. Flycasting probably would produce fish, too, although trees crowding the shoreline in most places would require an adept casting ann. Beyond the turnaround the route - now a proper

ofthe gravel road. There is a sign. As of June 16, there were deep snowdrifts blocking the trail for about 100 yards just below the lake.These likely will be gone by early July. If you plan to go to the top ofVan Patten Butte, expect lots of snow; this is a much easier climb by mid July when most of the snow has melted. No parking pass required Angling rules: No limit on number or size of brook trout taken; rainbow trout, 8-inch minimum length, daily limit of 5 fish More information: http://www.fs.usda.gov/ activity/wallowa-whitman/ recreation/hiking single-track trail - heads southwest toward the looming ramparts ofVan Patten Butte.

and then crossing an open, south-facing slope studded with, of all things, sagebmsh. This shrub, better known from its range in the hot, arid lowland steppes, does quite well as high as 8,000 fuet on sunny exposures in both the Elkhorns and the Wallowas. The trail climbs again for the final football field's length to the lake's northeast comer. The elevation is 7,395 feet a climb of 1,000 vertical feet from Little Alps. Van Patten lies in a cirque - a glacier's birthplace, as it were. Ice that accumulated here over many millennia gradually gouged this flat-floored basin which is smTOunded, on tln·ee sides, by nearly vertical slopes. (The rock, with its saltand-pepper appearance, is generally referred to hereabouts as "granite." Most of it, according to geologists, who tend to be fussy about such things, is actually granodiorite or tonalite, but neither of those quite rolls off the layperson's tongue.) Cirque lakes tend to be circular or oval, but Van Patten is long and narrow - shaped rather like a trout, in fact. According to a survey done in 2007 by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Van Patten's maximum depth is 42 feet. Although the maintained trail ends at the northeast shore, hikers over the decades have created trails clear around the lake. The best campsites are on See Lake I Page 2C

FISHING Report NORTHEAST ZONE

Weekend fishing opportunities Holliday Park, Long Creek, Cavender and 7th Street ponds have now been stocked. The water is clearing and the stoneflies are hatching on the Grande Ronde River. Water levels are still high, but look for trout along the bank or in slower pockets. CATHERINE CREEK: chinook salmon, trout Catherine Creek opens to angling for spring chinook salmon Saturday, May 26, until further notice. The open area is from the Miller Lane Bridge to the Highway 203 Bridge upstream of Catherine Creek State Park, effective The bag limit is two (2) adipose fin-clipped adult chinook and five (5) adipose 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 opens 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. GRANDE RONDE RIVER: steelhead, trout, whitefish, bass The Grande Ronde River opened for fishing this past weekend. Higher flows from spring runoff still persist, but the water is generally clear. Under these conditions, trout and whitefish can be caught where flows are slower in pools, behind large rocks and boulders, and near shore. Warmer weather has brought out the bugs, as stoneflies are currently hatching along the river corridor. Flows are still too high and cold for bass, but anglers should take advantage of this great bass fishery later this summer. See Fishing I Page 6C

Briefly Fly fishing magazine looks at local water Baker City has a river running through it, but it's not likely to be the setting for a novel, or movie, about fly-fishing. Yet the editors at Northwest Fly Fishing magazine think enough not only of the Powder River, but of several other bodies of water in Baker and Union counties, that they devoted four pages of the May/June issue to the region. The magazine's "Urban Angler" section has a story by John Shewey andTim Blount that puts Baker City as the headquarters for a fly-fishing vacation. Besides the Powder River, the article includes tips on fishing Phillips Reservoir in Baker County, and Pilcher Creek, Wolf Creek andThiefValley reservoirs in southern Union County. Northwest Fly Fis hing is published bi-monthly. More information is available online at www. matchthehatch.com .

the north side. About three quarters of the way along that shore, a chunk of rock thrusts, sort of like a dock, about 50 feet into the lake. This is a fine spot to fish, or doze, or, if you're an adventurous sort who isn't afraid of goosebumps, leap into the chilly water and have a refreshing swim. In common with many natural lakes in the Elkhoms and Wallowas, Van Patten has been tapped as a source of irrigation water. Its level doesn't drop as far as some lakes by late summer, though. Geologically speaking, Van Patten is something of a contradiction among Elkhom lakes. Althoughitsoneofthe bigger lakes in the range, covering almost 20 acres, its glacial valley is a minor divot compared with the gaping troughs of its neighbors, Dutch Flat and Anthony creeks and the North Powder River. According to research done by Emily Geraghty, a geology student at Whitman College in Walla Walla,Wash., glaciers just to the north of Van Patten, along Anthony Creek and Antone Creek, extended about 7.5 miles. Van Patten's glacier, by contrast, was a mere tributary to the much longer and wider glacier that scoured the valley of Dutch Flat Creek, less than a mile south, said Mark Ferns, retired geologist from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries field office in Baker City. Van Patten Lake, Ferns said, lies in a "classic hanging valley!' That's basically the glacial version of a waterfall. Glacial ice widespread The Van Patten glacier flowed east for a short distance, then veered south, where it plunged into the Dutch Flat Creek valley. Glacial ice was \videspread in the Elkhorns during two separate eras, according to Geraghty's work: the Bull Lake period, 150,000 to 200,000 years ago, and the Pinedale period from about 10,000 to 30,000 years ago. The best way to see the evidence all that ice left behind (well, other than virtually cruising over the Elkhorns courtesy of Google Earth, which Ferns recommends) is to climb from the lake to the top ofVan Patten Butte. This is a much more difficult trip than the hike to the lake. There's no trail, for one thing. And you have to climb another 1,400 feet, for another. The simplest route is to follow the north shore to the west end of the lake, then continue west up the slope, following the little stream that empties into the lake. When you get to the ridgeline you can hike north to the summit and a panoramic view of the Antone Creek glacial valley and the peaks that fonn the scenic backclTop for Anthony Lakes. (The Anthony Lakes Highway basically follows the route of the Antone Creek glacier.) Tum left (south) if you want to look down on Dutch Flat Creek and its U-shaped valley, which could serve as a model for a glaciology textbook. Large swathes of the Baker and North Powder valleys are visible to the south and west, and the high Wallowas - which boasted even more glaciers than the Elkhorns - dominate the northwestern skyline.

This cow moose and calf were spotted about4 p.m. June 13 on the south side of the Grande Ronde River byTed Schroeder and his wife, Lani, of La Grande during a raft trip. The moose were a half mile upstream from Grossman Creek, 28 miles below Minam. Moose can run up to 35 mph and stay underwaterfor 30 seconds or longer.

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 ridgelines 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 nearest cover next to the kill site (pay attention to drag marks).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 $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. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.

LADD MARSH WILDLIFE AREA Bird hunting seasons are now closed. New this year, a parking permit is needed for Ladd Marsh. Hunters get the permit free with their purchase of an annual hunting license. Display on car dash. More information 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. GRANT COUNTY COUGAR hunting remains open. Successful hunters, remember checkin of skull and carcass is mandatory. COYOTE numbers are good in most of the district. Coyotes may respond to distress calls. Try calling in the early morning and late evening. GROUND SQUIRRELS are becoming more active. Most squirrels are on located on private land in agricultural fields around the John Day Valley, Bear Valley, and Fox Valley. Ask permission before entering private lands.

Wildlife, historv abound where Clearwater, Snake rivers ioin By John Gottberg Anderson WesCom News Service

LEWISTON, Idaho- The panorama from the summit of lewiston Hill just might take your breath away. From an ovedook more than 2,000 feet above the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake rivers, the view is at once soothing and dramatic. Green hills fall like crumpled velvet to the banks of the two streams. The twin cities of Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Wash., roll across the opposite shores. Residential neighborhoods rise on wooded hills above riverside downtowns, which are linked by several bridges. To the south,justoutof sight, is pure wilderness, some of the most rugged terrain on the North American continent. Only a few miles out of view; the Snake River emerges from Hells Canyon. Half again deeper than the Grand Canyon, this parched gorge is home to bighorn sheep, golden eagles and rattlesnakes. It is the heart of a national recreation area much loved by whitewater rafters and seasonal hunters. It had been my intention, on this visit to Lm.viston, to explore miles of the Snake by jetboat. At least a halfdozen local outfitters run the 76 miles of river south to Pittsburg Landing, and some continue an additional 32 miles to the Hells Canyon Dam. But I was told that high water, caused by spring snowmelt, carried snags and other debris that made the river unsafe for the jetboats' water-intake engines. So instead of spending a day or two on the river, I made an abrupt change of plans. I chose to focus not on the area's geology and natural history, but upon the human history that created the modem cities ofLe\viston and Clarkston nearly 400 miles northeast of Bend. lewiston, by far the larger of the two with 31,000 people, was founded in 1861 as a river port from which Rocky Mountain gold could be shipped to the mouth of the Columbia River. But its roots, along with those of neighboring ClaTkston (population 7,200), may be traced to the fan1ous explorers after whom they were named - Meriwether le\vis and William Clark - and to the Nez PeTce people whose presence preceded them by thousands of years. I found Lewiston to be a perrect base for learning about both the early-19thcentury pathfinders and the history and culture ofthe Nez Perce. From musewns and interpretive centers to roadside markers and historic sites, there was plenty to be discovered about the Corps of Discovery and their Native American friends.

Only three days earlier, they had departed their socalled Canoe Camp 38 miles up the Clearwater. Hungry and exhausted after encountering early snow in theil' crossing of the Bitteroot Range ofthe northern Rocky Mountains at Lola Pass, they had been revived by gracious Nez PeTce Indians at a village four miles west of present-day Orofino. During a lV2-week stay, they built five dugout canoes for their voyage to the Pacific, leaving their horses in the tribe's care until they could retrieve

them the following sp1ing. One month later, the Lewis and Clark expedition reached the Pacific, where they wintered at rainy Fort Clatsop. Returning upstream in April, they fell back upon the hospitalityofthe Nez Perce when they were again challenged by mountain blizzards. The expedition stayed a month on the Clearwater - near what is now the town of Kamiah, 66 miles east of lewiston - at a meadow they called Long Camp. Historical signs at Canoe Camp, Long Camp and other sites document the party's travels through the Clearwater corridor. The explorers finally crossed the mountains in June and concluded the journey at St. Louis in September 1806. Part of their success may be ascribed to the Shoshone woman known as Sacajawea. The V~.ife ofthe party's French-Canadian interpreter, the young mother accompanied the corps of three dozen adventurers from the Missouri River to the Pacific and back. Her ability to ease tensions with potentially hostile tribes, as well as her knowledge of natural landmarks, enabled the expedition to build relationships with the native peoples they encountered. In Lewiston, in particular, Sacajawea's legacy is widely acknowledged. The central image ofthe Corps of Engineers memorial is that of a symbolic Native American earth mother that might well be fashioned after Sacajawea. And on the campus of Lewis-Clark State College, a highly regarded four-year liberal-arts institution in the heart of Lewiston, the newly constructed nursing and health-sciences building has been dubbed Sacajawea Hall in remembrance of the native woman's contributions.

waiting for someone to teach them lessons from the "Book of Heaven," the Bible, described to them at Long Camp 25 years earlie1: In response to their request, missionaries Henry and Eliza Spalding were sent west to establish the fust Christian mission among the Nez Perce in 1836. The site of the township that grew up around the Spalding mission is now the location of the Nez Perce National Historical Park visitor center. The hub of information on the park's 38 separate sites in four states, this building presents a highly informative, 23-minute film on tribal history and culture. It also features a small but colorful museum of traditional crafts and tools. Instructional programs engage tribal members as well as curious visitors. Bessie Blackeagle, a young park ranger preparing for a summer posting at the park's Big Hole National Battlefield site in Montana, was painstakingly practicing tipi construction outside the visitor center during my visit. "This is not something I learned as a child," she confessed.

The The Nimiipuu call themtribe had become impatient selves the Children of Coyote.

The reason became clear to me when I visited the Heart of the Monster, just south of Kamiah, one of 15 national historical park sites on reservation land. Nez Perce tradition abounds with stmies about clever, no-nonsense Coyote, none of them so gripping as the one related here.A five-minute recorded audio presentation describes how Coyote's epic battle with a great monster led to the emergence of the Nez Perce people. Visitors can still see the monsters enormous heart, which Coyote cut out after being inhaled by the creature; use your imagination, however, or you might think it is a mound of rock. The Nez Perce reseiVation was established in 1863, as the U.S. government sought to buffer white settlements, including potentially rich gold claims, from the native population. Not all Nez Perce signed or even accepted the treaty, however. Some of them refused to leave their ancestral homes on either side of Hells Canyon in Idaho and Oregon. In 1877, conflict flared when the Army issued an ultimatum to the dissident bands. In the resultant Nez Perce War, 800 men, women and children followed chiefs Joseph and White Bird acr·oss four states for four months. They crossed 1,500 miles, only to be forced into surrender 42 miles short of the Canadian border at Bear Paw; Mont. Many of the associated sites are now part of the national historical park. There may be no site, however, more ancient than Buffalo Eddy. The distinct and densely grouped petroglyphs and pictographs - the finest

concentration I've seen in the Pacific Northwest - are scribed on rocks on opposite banks of the turbulent Snake River, 24 miles south of Clarkston via the small town ofAsotin. Their age has been estimated at as much as 4,500 years. A level trail leads a couple ofhundred yards from a parking pullout to the historic site on the Washington side of the river. Some of the in1ages obviously depict hwnans and animals, including deer and bighorn sheep; others are more abstract, with circles and triangles. Among the most obvious diagrams at this site are stick figures holding dumbbell-like objects, which archaeologists speculate may be paddles or rattles. Already at this point, I felt the walls of Hells Canyon closing in. A lone jet boat, the only one I saw all weekend, raced past me down the river. A pair of osprey obseiVed me from a nearby nesting box. Across the river, I saw a lone cabin sheltered among rocks. I wondered how the owner got there.

Around 'Ragtown' On the Lewiston side of the river, the nearest outpost of civilization is Hells Gate State Park, four miles from downtown off Snake River Avenue. Many ofthejetboat outfitters begin their excursions from the marina here, adjacent to the 960-acre riverside park \vith its extensive campgrounds. Park headquarters are at the Le\vis and Clark Discovery Center, which has displays on the intrepid explorers and a half-hour film on their impact. Just uphill, the Jack O'Connor Hunting

Heritage & Education Center pays homage to O'Conn01; a longtime editor of Outdoor Life magazine, who lived in Lewiston for 30 years until his death in 1978. The collection offers four decades of O'Conno1ls game trophies from Africa and Asia as well as North America. Downtown, I found exhibits at the Nez Perce County Historical Society Museum to be enlightening. They fill several rooms of the art deco-style Luna House, built in the 1930s on the site of an 1863 hotel. lewiston was founded as a wild-and-woolly gold-rush tent village known as "Ragtown," I learned; but within two years it was the fust capital ofthe Idaho territory. Although the boom didn't last long, lewiston persisted as a hub for steamboat and stagecoach traffic, and later for the Union Pacific Railroad. The downtown historic district has a genteel charm highlighted by numerous b1ick buildings and public art installations. But the most intriguing sculpture is not yet on official display. Sculptor Christopher Fennell may soon complete "Canoe Wave," his welded tribute to Lewis and Clark, now resting behind a warehouse, beside railroad tracks near the Snake River confluence. You can see both rivers from the 10-square-block campus of lewis-Clark State College, on the hill above downtown. About 3,500 students attend classes at this school, well-known to baseball fans as the home of the annual NAIA World Series. Every year on Memorial Day weekend, 10 small-college teams from all over the United States compete in a double-elimination tournament. 1-C State is a perennial contender and a frequent winner. The school has produced 15 major-league baseball players, including cwTent Seattle Ma~iners shortstop Brendan Ryan. Before leaving Lewiston, I drove once more to the swnmit of Lewiston Hill. U.S. Highway 95, the main route towaid the university towns of Pullman, Wash., and Mosco¥-j Idaho, makes easy workofthe ascent - but it's nowhere near as fun as the original road. When the Spiral Highway was built in 1917, it was considered a marvel of modem engineering. Anearly continuous 4 percent grade falls 2,000 feet in a series of 64 cuiVes over 91;2 road miles. And the view is unremittingly marvelous almost all the way to the bottom of the hill. I only wish it could have carried me a little further into Hells Canyon.

Access and Habnat in Oregon Gary Lewis writes that the program is a partnership for private hunting access Gary lewis W escom Nev.;s Service

How much is one deer worth? I asked myself that question when I saw one of the latest press releases from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. There was a time when one buckskin was worth about one dollar, hence the tenn ''buck."Try paying for anything with a pile ofbuckskins these days! Economists and insurance actuaries, it turns out, put the value of one deer at approximately $1,250. That, after calculating insurance losses in cmideer altercations. Last year, I bought a hunting license and deer tag and spent about $100 on fuel and

tagged a buck, which yielded about 50 pounds of meat back from the butcher. That is about $6 per pound by my calculation.Ask a non-hunting spouse what the true cost of a deer is and the number is likely to go higher. What about all those bucks ODFW collected for special deer, elk, pronghorn, sheep and goat tags? The 2012 ODFW auction and raffles for big game grossed $523,202, of which $308,566 will go to the Access and Habitat Program and $179,937 will fund big game research and management. Eleven special big game auction tags grossed $347,000, including $110,000 for a bighorn sheep tag. The sportsmen and

conservation groups that sponsored the auction will keep 10 percent of the auction proceeds. Those groups include chapters of the Mule Deer Foundation, Safari Club International, Oregon Bow Hunters, fue Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Oregon Hunters Association. It turns out that more than one hunter believed that a mule deer tag that allows him or her to pursue deer anywhere in the state was worth upwards of$20,000 at auction. In the raffie, ticket sales for various statewide and regional deer hunts totaled $34,896. That means a few affiuent hunters and a few lucky raffie winners get to pursue a dream hunt for a trophy buck, bull or ram. What tl1at should mean to you is that there are more places to hunt, thanks to the work and generosity of sportsmen and conservation

groups. For tl10se of us tl1at can't affurd to buy a hunt at auction and aren't lucky enough to draw a raffle tag, this has been a week for wailing and gnashing of teeth, or celebration as we check our mailboxes for hunting tag results. Perhaps you didn't draw the tags you hoped for this year. There are options. Arifle hunter who didn't draw a big game tag may still hunt for blacktail deer or Roosevelt elk in the Cascades and west to the coast. A bow hunter may hunt deer or elk in most of the state, just by buying the proper tag before the season starts. If it is a question offinding a new place to hunt, check out the Access and Habitat program. For a quick look at distribution of properties involved in the A&H program, click on www.oregonhuntingmap. com. To narrow down the search to a specific hunting unit, click on Wildlife Man-

agement Units. There are millions of acres enrolled in fue program, wifu the bulk offue opportunity in Western Oregon and in the northeast comer of fue state. Access and Habitat program coordinator, Matthew Keenan, seeks to build partnerships Vl:ith law enfOrcement, landowners and ODFW. Two offue best examples are the North Coast Travel Management Area and Willamette Private Lands law enfOrcement projects that take in properties in the Saddle Mountain, Scappoose, Wilson, Trask, Santiam, Alsea, Stott Mountain, McKenzie, Siuslaw and Indigo units. "By providing funds for 11 state troopers and two sheriff's deputies to patrol the land, the Access and Habitat Program has kept four million acres open for hunting for blacktail deer and Roosevelt elk," Keenan said.

Hunters, animal-rights groups face off over ban on using dogs to hunt bears, bobcats By Paul Rogers San Jose M ercury New s

SAN JOSE, Calif - For a fuousand years, dogs and hunting have gone together like bows and arrows, guns and bullets, predators and prey. In medieval Europe, people tracked boars and stags \villi packs ofhounds. Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and George Washington owned hunting dogs. But simply because something is an old tradition doesn't mean it should continue, say animal-rights groups, whose efforts to ban the use of dogs to hunt bears and bobcats is gaining momentum in the California Legislature. The issue, this year's most heated environmental battle in Sacramento, is drawing intense passions. Critics say hunters with packs of yapping dogs fitted with radio collars chase exhausted wild animals for miles, cornering them in branches and shooting them point blank. "It's not only unethical and inhwnane, it's unnecessary," said Jennifer Fearing, California director of the Humane Society of the United States. ''We don't do it for public safety or population management. We do it for recreation. It's out of step with California's values." But hunters say their opponents are barking up the wrong tree. They see the bill, SB 1221, by state Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Redondo Beach, as the

•• •

latest assault by mostly mban environmentalists and voters against mostly rural hunters. "First they banned mountain lion hunting, then trapping," said Dan Tichenor, a retired Castro Valley engineer who hunts bears with his six Plott hounds, a breed with supremely sensitive sniffing abilities that looks a bit like a bloodhound, without the loose skin. "Now they're going after bear and bobcat hunting with dogs," he said. "I think the plan is to ban it species by species, state by state. Their goal is to eventually ban all hunting." At a key hearing in Apri~ 600 hunters and 200 animalrights supporters turned out at the state Capitol. Tichenor, who worked on nuclear weapons components and combustion resem·ch for 33 yems at Sandia National Laboratory in Livennore, began hunting with dogs as a 7-year-old in rural Missouri, pursuing squirrels and raccoons v,rith his father. Ifbem· hunting is going to be legal in California, he said, using dogs is the most compassionate way to do it because the animals die immediately '.vith a direct shot. "Climbing trees is a natural behavior for a bear," he said. "Yes, you are shooting a bear at close range. But it is humane. When most animals in the wild die, they do not die that quickly." California wouldn't be the

fil'St state to ban the use of dogs for hunting bears. Fourteen states, including Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and Montana, now ban the practice. Thirteen states ban using dogs to hunt bobcats. "I want California to be as humane as Montana was in 1921 when that pro-hunting state banned the use of dogs for bear hunting," Lieu said. Lieu is not a hunter. He was a captain in the Air Force, however, and won two mm·ksmanship awm·ds for handgun shooting. Shooting a bear in a tree after tracking it with dogs, he said, "is like shooting a bear at a zoo." According to state Department of Fish and Game estimates, 23,000 to 39,000 bears roam California. All are black bears, which have never killed anyone in California. The season for hunting them runs from September to December, with a limit of one per hunter per year. Most bear hunting occurs near Redding and Red Bluff and in the Siena Nevada. Lieu said he has received a lot of hate mail from hunters. "Some of them say because I'm not a hunter I shouldn't do anything about hunting bills," he said. "It's like saying because I'm not a firefighte1; I shouldn't be able to carry legislation about firefighting or because I'm not a doctor, I can't take on medical issues. That's not how it works." Lieu's bill passed the state Senate 22-15 in late May. It now heads to the Assembly,

where passage in the Democratic-controlled chamber is expected. Whether Gov. Jerry Brown will sign it ifit reaches his desk is unknown. Twice before, in 1993 and 2003, California lawmakers rejected efibrts to ban hound hunting. But this year, the issue gained new attention after Dan Richards, president of the state Fish and Game Commission, was photographed holding a dead mountain lion he chased with dogs and shot in Idaho, eliciting cries of outrage in California. "I was surprised to learn we allowed this practice," said Lieu, who introduced his bill in March. "It came to light because of Dan Richards. It's not why I'm doing the bill, but it's how I first heard about it." During legislative hem~ ings, supporters of Lieu's legislation, which include the Sierra Club and the ASPCA, have presented examples of dogs being mistl'8ated, abandoned and running roughshod over private land. But Tichenor and other opponents of the bill, including the California Outdoor Heritage Alliance, say that hound hunters are like all dog lovers and that most take good care of their animals. "People say my dogs are vicious," Tichenor said."But the worst you'll get fr.·om them is a lick in the face." Black bear hunting season in California typically begins in the fall. It ends when

hunters report that 1,700 black bears have been killed, or on fue last Sunday in December- vvhichevercomes first.

California is home to 23,000 to 39,000 bears, according to fue state Fish and Game Department. All are black bears.

• "Wading for bass is about as much fun as you can have fishing' By Dennis Anderson M inneapolis Star Tribune

BRAINERD, Minn.Absent a boat, some anglers remain couch-bound, thinking more about fishing than doing it. This needn't be, pmiicularly when the target is largemouth bass, and especially not in late spring and early summer, when these fish inhabit shoreline haunts. Bill Marchel and I were talking about this the other evening as we pulled on our waders and slapped the odd mosquito. Wade fishing for bass has long been a favorite pastime of Bill's, and over the years I've joined him on a few forays into shoreline slop bait-caster in hand, its spool wound with heavy line. "Wading for bass is about as much fun as you can have fishing," Bill said. Of course, many waters that can be fished on foot can also be reached by boat. But not all Vegetation we waded the other night, for example, was too thick for even the most powerful electric trolling motor. And too shallow for the shallowest running boat. Also in their waders, and fishing with Bill and me, were my son, Cole, and his pal, Max Kelley, both 16. The three of us had been bassin' on the Whitefish Chain last week, and took a break from that action - all undertaken in a boat - to wade with Bill 'The key to wade fishing for bass, as in all bass fishing, is to make long casts, to get the Jure as far fi·om you as possible," Bill said. "On occasions over the years I've waded for bass on the edge of hard-stem bulrushes or lily pads, and have had fishermen in boats come close to me after they see me catching fish. "But often they don't catch anything, and it's because they're distwbing too much water with their boat. You

have to make long casts." In the Brainerd area, and also in and around the Twin Cities, there's no shortage of lakes and rivers that can be waded for bass. Some scouting is involved. But little effort is needed to find fairly thick stands of shoreline vegetation, combined with waters of wading depth. "Let's give it a try," Bill said. And we waded in. Experienced bass anglers, Max and Cole were well accustomed to chucking baits great distances, whether plastic worms, buzz baits or - as was the case when

we fished with Bill - Scum Frogs. These last are weedless, a necessary component of lures used to fish vegetative slop.Also to their advantage, Scum Frogs are heavy enough to cast, and light enough to retrieve while skimming atop lily pads. Fanning out, the four of us sprayed lures hither and yon, though not so far from one another that we couldn't share in each other's excitement when a bucketmouth rose from the depths to hit a bait. Which after all is the

attraction oftop-water bass fishing: seeing the water boil below a lure before a fish explodes topside, its mouth agape, to inhale what 1\II:r. Bass thinks is a frog or other terrestrial. But instead is a hunk of soft plastic. With hook-;. "Son!" Bill said, as he took one bass, released it, and soon reefed back on another. Max and Cole were into fish as well, casting stout wands of graphite and unspooling yard after yard of braided line before finding bass lurking just below the surface.

•• •

"It's getting a little late in June for this type of fishing," Bill said. "It's still good. But it's not as good as when more of the bass were still along the shorelines, in shallow water." Over the years, Bill and I also have wade-fished for sunnies. Fly rods can make this sport still more fun, provided they're cast along the edges of vegetation, not in the middle of it, as we did the other evening. "A fly rod just can't pull bass out of the heavy stuff;" Bill said. "Particularly not 3and 4-pounders. That's why

I use 60- or 80-pound line on my bait caster." Brainerd-area lakes are so popular that sometimes multiple boats crowd favorite walleye and bass haunts. That's rarely, if ever, the case while wade fishing. The other night, Bill, Cole, Max and I occasionally heard a personal watercraft whine in the distance, or a vehicle motor atop nearby blacktop. Otherwise, striding through thick slop, we were so alone we could have been in the boundary waters. Casting, and casting again. Son!

Spring chinook season to reopen on Lookingglass Creek Fishery managers announced this week that Lookingglass Creek, a tributary to the Grande Ronde River at Palmer Junetion, will reopen to fishing for hatchery spring chinook for four days from Friday through Monday. According to Tim Bailey;

ODFW fish biologist in La Grande, anglers did not catch the hru:vest quota before the previous season closed on Jlme 12. ''The additional four-day season will provide anglers one more opportunity while the fish ru:·e still returning in good numbers," he said.

The creek will be open from the Moses Creek Lane Bridge (County Road 42) upstream to the confluence of Jarboe Creek. Anglers may retain two adipose fin-clipped chinook adults and five adipose fin-clipped jacks per day; with two daily limits in possession. Jack salmon are

less than 24 inches in length. Anglers do not need to record jack catch on their combined angling tags, but it is illegal to continue fishing for jack chinook once the adult bag limit is met. Unmarked (wild) fish must be released cru:·efully and unhanned. The use of bait is not al-

lowed. "There are bull trout in Lookingglass Creek, and bait fishing could pose a threat to them, so all fishing in the creek is restricted to artificial flies and lures," Bailey said. The area open to fishing is bordered by p1ivate timberlands owned by Forest

fishing difficult, but some trout and whitefish can be caught where flows are slower in pools and near shore.The Wallowa River is currently open for salmon fishing, but no fish have been reported caught so far. Salmon fishing is expected to improve as river flows subside and more fish enter the Wallowa system. SNAKE ZONE BROWNLEE RESERVOIR: crappie, bass, perch, catfish, bluegill, trout Current water level is at 2,073 feet and rising. All boat lanunches can be used. Fishing for smallmouth bass and channel catfish is good, but slow for crappie.

were harvested this past week, and creel surveys are reporting catch rates of 50 hours per fish kept. Anglers are also reminded that new for 2012, only adiposeclipped trout may be kept in the Snake River. SNAKE RIVER (Above Brownlee Reservoir): channel catfish, flathead catfish, smallmouth bass Angling for catfish and smallmouth bass is improving. Flows at the Nyssa gauge averaged 10,290 cfs and flows at the Weiser gauge averaged 15,721 cfs (June 17). Water temperature ofthe Snake River near Weiser was 68'F (June 17). Boaters should continue to use caution the Snake River is high and turbid. Old debris remains in the river channel and new debris maybe enter the river from tributaries. SOUTHEAST ZONE HWY 203 POND: trout, bass, bluegill Has been stocked with legalsized rainbows. NORTH POWDER POND: rainbow trout, bluegill The pond has been stocked with legal rainbows and fishing should be good. PHILLIPS RESERVOIR: trout, perch The water level is at 90 percent full. Sampling on Phillips Reservoir shows nioe sized trout (12-14 inches). Legalsized trout were stocked early to mid-April. Yellow perch have spawned and moved back into deeper water. PILCHER RESERVOIR: trout, crappie

Water level is at 100 percent full. Gillnet samples indicate rainbows up to 16-inches are available. POWDER RIVER: trout, spring chinook The section below Mason Dam has been stocked with legal rainbows.The river belowThiefValley Reservoir is a good location to catch large rainbow trout up to 20-inches this time of year. The 1,000 feet of river immediately downstream of the dam is open to public access. Do not trespass on private property without permission. Chinook salmon are planned to be stocked in this section, as well, on June 14. The release will occur immediately downstream of Mason Dam.

Angling is good for 10-14 inch rainbows.

Continued from Page 1C IMNAHA RIVER: steelhead Salmon fishing on the lmnaha is off to a good, but slow, start. Since the season opened on June 9, catch rates were estimated at 20 hours per fish caught and 30 hours per fish harvested (both include jacks). River flows are fishable, but have remained high enough to limit the availability of good holding water in some sections. As more salmon move into the Imnaha and flows decline, catch rates are expected to improve. JOHN DAY RIVER: smallmouth bass and channel catfish The spring chinook season closed on June 3. Below Kimberly smallmouth bass and channel catfish angling is heating up and will be improving throughout the month. Trout fishing is open on the John Day Rivers and tributaries. LOOKINGGLASS CREEK: chinook salmon, trout The chinook season closed June 12. MORGAN LAKE: trout, bullheads, bass Fishing for trout is fairto good. OLIVE LAKE: rainbow and kokanee Will be stocked with 2,000 legal-sized rainbow trout and 500 trophies this week. PEACH POND (Ladd Marsh): rainbow trout

VIEWING

Osprey have re-claimed nest sites and are incubating. They can be seen hunting over ponds on and near Ladd Marsh. For more information on access rules for Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area, consult the Oregon Game Bird Regulations or call the wildlife area at

Continued from Page lC TuleLake Public Access Area and the Auto Route are open for the season. The Glass Hill Unit is also open to public access. Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult game bird regulations before entering the wildlife area. Dogs are not permitted within the wildlife area, on or off leash except during authorized hunting seasons. There are numerous quality-viewing opportunities from county roads that pass through the area. Binoculars or a spotting scope will help as many animals are best viewed from a distance. Waterfowl using the area 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

541 )-963-4954.

Blue herons are frequently seen in the wetlands of Northeast Oregon. 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.

WALLOWA COUNTY Herons are common and can be observed throughout the Wallowa Valley feeding along creeks and rivers. Waterfowl species such as Canada geese and mallards 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 throughoutWallowa 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 throughoutWallowa 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 nearTroy. A good place to look is along the Eden Bench Road during early morning or late afternoon hours.

House passes sea lions kill bill PORTLAND (MCT) -The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill t oday that would make it easier for Northwest stat es and tribes to kill California sea lions that eat salmon a nd other fish , including fish not list ed under the Endangered Species Act. House Bill 3069, spearheaded by U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings, RWash ., passed 232-188 as part of a package of 14 natural resource bills. Since 2008, the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho have pursued killing California sea lions that gath er at the base of Bonneville Da m to munch on adult salmon r eturning to spawn. But that program, which his killed or relocated 50 animals to date, h as been st alled periodically by lawsuits from the Huma ne Society of the United Stat es. A lawsuit is proceeding now. Supporters said th e bill's br oader congressional au th orization will help insulat e the government from lawsuits under the Marine Ma mmal Pr otection Act. It would also speed leth al take approvals by eliminating for at least five years review und er the National Environmental Policy Act.
