GRANTS PASS iAPl — Fire fighters got permission Tuesday to use helicopters and chain saws to battle a bunch of small wildfires in a wilderness area along the Oregon-California border. Federally designated wilder ness areas are generally ofF limits to mechanized equipment such as ATVs and mountain bikes, but that restriction can be lifted by regional foresters. Under less volatile conditions, firefighters would use hand saws rather than chain saws, and no helicopters would be used. Crews wasted no time in tak ing advantage of the permission. U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Virginia Gibbons said five, 20-person hand crews were joined by smokejumpers and a crew rappelling from a helicopter to fight six fires ignited by lightning SeeFires / Page2A

STUCK THE

LAvpINe.

As the temperature creeps up toward the 100 mark, and the sun shows no mercy, a lot of us are heading for the old swimming hole to cool down. It' s the dog days of summer — and even the people are panting. But we need to play in the water with care. A spate of recent drownings in Oregon brings home the mes sage that water sports, while fun, carry inherent dangers. We should especially watch our children to make they are safe around water. Active supervision is im portant. According to Safe Kids Oregon, 18 percent of all drowning deaths in the state between 2000 and 2006 wereofchildren ages 14 and younger.A bout one in three of the drowning deaths in children ages 15 and younger occurred in swimming pools. Active supervision means watching the kids in action, not talking on the cell phone, reading a book or talking to the other people on the "beach." Sure, that's not so

much fun. But it can mean the difference between life and death. Let's have fun in the sun — and be safe.

In a burst of clarity, legislators decidedthat was notagood message to send. The Legislature's compromise oozed into something almost equally disagree able. It tweaked the qualifications so that more families will qualify. "A discussion of whether we should have an estate tax or not is a discussion for another time, another place," State Rep.

place. Think about what the state's death tax does. Oregon already taxes income. Then, when a person dies, if they have been successful enough, Oregon goes after that income again. We don't think the state should be looking for ways to punish success. The discussions about abolishing Oregon's death tax usually end as soon

as people bring up the $100 million a year in revenue it delivers. But couldn' t getting rid of the death tax also benefit the state? People who retire think about where to go. They think about being able to pass along what they have earned to their families. A way to improve Oregon's reputation as a great place to live and retire is to make it a place that doesn't fine people for dying.

beach volleyball LONDON (AP) The beach volleyball title is staying in the United States. That' s for certain. The big question now is which team gets the gold. A few hours after twice-defending champions Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor beat China, first-time Olympians April Ross and Jennifer Kessy joined them for an all-American final. With a win on Wednesday night, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor would further cement their status as the most decorated women' s team in the brief history of Olympic beach volleyball. "We want to seal the deal that we' re the best team that' s ever happened," Walsh Jennings said Tuesday night after the two-time gold medalists advanced to their third consec utive Olympic final with a 22-20, 22-20 victory over China.

She is a sprinter, special izing in shorter freestyle and backstroke events. She has made tremendous progress this year. "Moriah has been ham

pered by injuries, but she is really starting to get through them and returning to good performances." The swim meet was also the last club meet for stand out Matt Cook, who will swim for the University of Wyoming next season. Cook won the 100 freestyle with a time of 52.78. He also took first place in the 100 backstroke with a time of59.38 and the 50free style with a time of 24.25. Cook teamed up with Ebel, Clay and Keegan Dutto to win the men's open 200 free style relay. The foursome finished in a time of 1:44.85. Coach Dutto added that the timing of the swim meet was appropriate with the 2012 Summer Olympics taking place in London. 'The La Grande Swim Club isproud to bea partofU.S. Swimming and to support our wonderful athletes that so well represent our country at the London Olympics. "I am hoping that the Olympic games will inspire our swimmers to strive to achieve all of their goals, swimming and otherwise."

North Medford rode a solid pitching perfor mance by Brett Pearson and shut out a La Grande team that had been swinging the bat as well as anyone. aWe had opportunities but just couldn't put the ball in play," coach Brian Chamberlain said.

"In Ontario on the day of the event, they have seen teams already signed up for the next year because people (on teams) don't want to be left out," said Gentry.

The six-day camp will be put on by the Ascension School of Cove, EOU and E.S.T.E.A.M. Peer mentoring will be one focus of the camp. ''We all have something to offer each other. Support systems are what allow us to be successful in life," said Dawn Schiller, an author and an environmental health and safety technolo gist at EOU who is one of the camp's organizers. While discussing the arts and writing portion of the camp, Schiller pointed out that everyone has different voicesrepresenting various elements of their personali ties. An objective of the Mir rorsofMe camp, she said, is to help girls understand thesevoices and "translate them into the something artist ic." Those giving presenta tions at the camp include April Curtis, an EOU theaterprofessor.Curtis will lead a mask-making session.

A statue of Chief Joseph, with his back to the mountain named for him, was installed and dedicated during Chief Joseph Days immediately following the annual Kiddie Parade on Friday morning. The donor of the bronze, Christy Welton of Jackson Hole, Wyo., was honored as well as its artist, Georgia Bunn of Medford by Valley Bronze owners Malcolm Finney and Katy Jackman. In a town that defines itself by art, Mayor Dennis Sands said he and the council were happy to accept Welton's generous donation. Welton, a patron to the arts, credited Bunn, new to sculpting, as having great passion and industry. "She began sculpting a few years ago against advice in the industry," Welton said of Bunn, "But she quit her job, put her head down and went to work." Welton said she admired Chief Joseph for attempting to lead his people from the valley tofreedom and safety.Hismilitary tacticsare

The business used to be in the 2200 block of Windmill Road and, at one point, was located downtown, said Gary Hutton. He and business partner Ted Douglas offer vintage and collectible cars as well as a long and eclectic list of resale items: tools, books, lamps, furniture, equipment, glassware, appliances and home decor. They also sell cars on eBay. This new location is slightly smaller than the one on Windmill Road, but it provides the business with a lot more exposure to potential customers.

The Observer

Though its mission remains the same, the La Grande Main Street program has a new home and is operating on its own. The program, which ran under the guidance of the City of La Grande since its founding in 2009, has moved from City Hall and is doing business as a 501 C 3 non-profit out of an office at 118 Depot St. Through its volunteer committees, it will continue to work to improve the downtown business environ ment.

Baker Ci used merchandise store moves to new location By Terri Harber Baker City Herald

Pickle Weasel's LLC, which sells an array of used mer chandise, hasrelocated to a significantly larger location on Broadway Street near 10th Street in Baker City. Now operating at 2618 Broadway from a nearly 1,500 square foot space, the business is nearly double the size it was when first launched in December 2011. The original location was a few blocks east and on the opposite side ofBroadway a street that has an array of older structures lining it as well as some striking exam ples of old, painted outdoor advertisingand promotional messagesdecorating some of thee structures. ''We'reglad we 're ableto reviveone oftheseold build

ings, to make it useful again," said Dave Sutton, who co owns Pickle Weasel's with his wife, Brianne. They needed additional space for their expanding selection of used and new merchandise. "Moreroom forappli ances — that was the biggest thing," Dave Sutton said. Previously owned wash ing machines, dryers, ovens and refiigerators are highly sought after. And large appli ances account for a substan tialpercentage ofsalesprofit. Clothing is another item customers frequently seek. The old location only pro vided enough room to display a couple of racks. Now the Suttons devote an entire sec tion to apparel. They expect to further expand their cloth ingsection overtim e.

Pickle Weasel's also sells electronics, video games, DVDs, housewares, collect ables and music. Relocating quickly was important because time not spentopen translatesintoa substantial profit loss. ''We tried realhard notto close while we were moving," Dave said. "Missing one day's sales would really have hurt us." This is why renovating the new shop space and empty ing out the old one went on during the store's normal Sunday and Monday break at the beginning of July. Customers have been finding their way to the new shop even though the lighted outdoor sign hasn't been installed. The first two days of August alone attracted the

same amount of sales as one quarter of July, Dave said. Resellers routinely experi ence higher sales at the beginning and middle of each month because that' s when most people get their paychecks. Operating now across the street from The Salva tion Army has been helping Pickle Weasel's draw in more bargain-mindedpeople. But one thing that contin ues to be important when it comes to doing well as a re seller is consistent cleanliness. Soap, bleach and attention to product appearance makes a good impression on customers. Not all businesses that sell inexpensive previously owned items, such as coffee pots and toasters, will take that extra step to ensure that everything is clean and

sanitary, Dave said. "It's a lot easier to sell those things when they are clean," he said. ''We try to have everything we sell as clean as we would if we were putting it in our own house." Restocking the shelves before the doors open each morning also keeps people curious and more likely to return.And a Facebook Page informs e-minded custom ers when specific items are available. People often ask how the owners came up with the odd but funny name for their business. It was a term used on an episode of'That '70s Show" that Dave had seen years before. It was just a made-up term at the time, though a online search results in a

few definitions created after theepisodeaired — some of which couldn't be printed in a family newspaper. "A goodname tell speople what you do or makes 'em curious," Dave said."If I remembereditaftersixyears then I figured someone else might remember it, too." The Suttons' business logo illustrates the name in a giggle worthy yet literal form. A bug-eyed weasel crazily, but longingly, stares at a large pickle clutched tightly in its cartoony paw. Sutton emphasized that he doesn't accept unsolicited items for possible sale in the shop. It's not a consignment operation. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday fi'om 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Call 541-523 5410.

Mick Jagger has dropped by Olympic Stadium to watch some trackand fi eld,providing reliefto celebrity-watchers who worried thatthe world'sbiggestsporting event has been a little lacking in star power — off the field, that is.
