ock Baker is a soft-spoken man, always polite and considerate of those around him. He' s so much the gentleman, in fact, thatit'salm osthard to picture him ever wearing a badge and enforcing the law. But that's just what the 87-year-old man did for the Oregon State Police in La Grande for more than 30 years. Most of the time he worked as a game enforce ment officer, but in the latter partofhiscareerhelabored away in the criminal division, investigating all types of crime including the big ones, murder and rape. He saw it all, and he did it all. And while he's happy to be retiredthesepast22yearsor so, the memories for him are good ones. "I miss it, but in a happy way," Baker said during a recent interview in his com fortable home in La Grande. ''What I don't miss is working all those long hours without overtime." See OSP/Page2A

Last year, the city donated $200. This year's Cove Cherry Fair takes place Aug. 18 and celebratesCove's 150 yearsofhistory. Speaking on behalf of the Cherry Fair Commit tee, John Van Schoonhoven said even though the committee, part of the Cove Community Associa tion, has received some grants and donations, "Money is down this year.

who could solve problems, simplify transactions, and ease tension, all with cheer ful courtesy. Many customers insisted that only she could handle their transactions. Family and fiiends remem ber her as a genuinely caring and giving person. Ruthe was an exceptionally skilled seamstress, who sewed most of her family's clothes. She enjoyed using her talents in knitting, ceramics, painting, and playing piano and organ as well. She is also remem bered for her spectacular coloraturasoprano singing voice. Although she'd been invited to attend several prestigi ous eastern conser vatories, she abandoned a singing career to marry Roy, and raise a family. Those privileged to hear her church solos vividly remember them as an exalting emotional experience. During these years, they continued to raise their family in a home where family was first, rules were understood, standards were substantially higher than the norm, and love was a constant. Each supported the other in all decisions; and work, meal preparation,and child rearing were shared responsibilities.

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE I 666
OUR VIEW
ro ec V1 B Air, water and food are the tripod of the essentials of life. Think about this: People can live three min utes without air, three days without water and three weeks without food. Having just completed the hottest July in the Unit ed States since records were started in the 1890s, the importance of water to our lives seems ever more important. Thoughts turn to water conservation. And to where clean water comes Rom and how we can ensure a reliable supply. That's why it's exceptional news that the city of Wallowa is getting $3.58 million to fix its water sys tem. The rebuild, coming soon, will include improve ments to an existing well, construction of a new well and a water pump station site, construction of a new reservoir and replacement of water lines. What' s more, the city is also getting installation of new water meters. What's amazing is the grant is the largest of six recently awarded to Oregon communities by the Or egon Business Department's Infrastructure Finance Authority. Usually, these awards top out at $2 mil lion. Wallowa's awards exceeds that cap because of a granted waiver. The work to begin soon is important. It will add reliability to the city's system for good drinking water. The work will make sure Wallowa has an adequate backup well should the main well go down. It will also ensure there is more storage for adequate protectionin case offire. The Wallowa project will prepare the city to have good water for years to come. Kudos to those who are making this huge project a reality.

COMMUNITY COMMENT
Class celebration sparks memories he La Grande High School Class of 1951isobserving the61stclass reunion Aug. 11 at Island City' s City Hall. The reunion will start at 10 a.m. with lunch being served at noon. It wasdecided severalyears ago to celebrateour classreunions on a yearlybasisaswe were fastapproach ing our seventh decade in life, and 10 years between reunions seemed too long. So, here we are again looking forward to renewing old friendships while grieving the loss of many of our fellow classmates. As I think about attending I am flooded with memories of previous re unions. The reunions that stand out in my mind are the 10th, the 20th and the 50th. I'm sure there are others reunions just as memorable but these are the ones I remember. The 10-year reunion was held at the oldSacajawea Hotel.W e posed for pictures on the picturesque staircase
leading up to the ballroom. What fun to look around and see how everyone had changed. The 20-year reunion was celebrated at the Elks Lodge with a sit-down din ner, lots of laughs and a picture-taking session that showed us all dressed up. What a nice-looking class we were 41 years ago. The 50th was the most memorable. Dinner was scheduled at Eastern Or egon University. We had a lovely dinner and then we reenacted some of those special times we had at La Grande High. Duane Hamlin, our senior class president, had put together a pep band and we played and sang "On La Grande High" with John Leffel leading the cheers. We reminisced about the many paths our lives had taken, remembering the journey with laughs and a few tears. Mrs. Ragsdale, a former teacher, was in attendance and the class lovingly

Your views LHS should have kept Taylor To the Editor: I was very upset upon hearing the news that Cory Taylor was not rehired forthe 2012-2013 school year atLa Grande High School. Mr. Taylor was an excellent English teacher and encour aged me in his creative writing class in a way that made me want to pursue English in the future. Upon returning to school in the fall, I planned to take as many of Mr. Taylor's classes as possible. Now I am tempted to fulfill my required English credits through EOU. I understand the school board chose the teacher they believed to be the most qualified for the position. However I wanted to make it known that I believe Mr. Taylor was the best candidate. I value school a lot but one of the things that makes school enjoyable for me is having good teachers to help me on theway to broadening my under standing of the world and building my education. Mr. Taylor was one of the best teachers I ever had and the thought of
him not being there for my senior year makes me look forward to the upcoming school year much less. In my opinion, any high school with Cory Taylor on their stafF would be a very lucky one. I am highly disappointed that La Grande High School will not be so fortunate. Sadie McIver

Building strong families a needed priori in communi By Kala Grover ForThe Observer
Listening to the evening news a few days ago, I heard a story about two young brothers. Nine-year-old Connor felt bad that his six-year-old brother, Cayden, was unable to parti cipate in sportsand otheractivities,ashehad been diagnosed with Cere bral Palsy as a baby. With the support of his parents, Connor found a way to in clude his brother in all areas of atriathlon for kids,and refused to compete without Cayden at his side. Pulling a raft behind him during the swimming portion, pushing a stroller during the running portion, and pulling a cart during the cycling portion, Connor did everything in his power to keep Cayden active and living a fun childhood. Being such an important part of Connor's goals made Cayden laugh and smile, and seeing that Cayden was having a good time encour aged Connor to continue on. Their bond was something rare and beautiful, and a good reminder about what it means to be a family. While families don't come in "one size fits all," there are many ingredients that all families need to thrive: trust,
patience, and unconditional love are among the most vital. Families are successful when members can forgive, compromise, and respect one another iexcerpt from www. fox17online.coml . Good communication and much time spent together are also crucial, but this is far easier said than done in a world that seems to spin fasterthan ever.W e are pulled in many different directions by our careers, our schooling, and hundreds of other commitments. It can feel like everyone wants something, and by the end of the day, all of our time has been consumed. Unfortunately, our families often suffer the most from our hectic schedules. We must constantly be evaluat ing our priorities to make sure we do not take even the smallest and seemingly most insignificant moments with our loved ones for granted. We will always have commit ments outside of our families, and this is not a bad thing. We all need to thrive in our own areas, and can't expect to be tied to other family members at every moment of the day. The important thing is making at least a little bit of family time, and making sure we don't waste any of it. In passing during the

The area outside the church on Fifth Street between K and L avenues will be the site of the second annual August Fest.

day, do we ignore each other when we could instead be asking questions about the other one's day? When everyone has a little bit of time to sit down together, are we more focused on the TV, plugged into iPods, or captivated by Facebook and other social media? None of thesetechnologicaladvances are bad things, but we have to make sure valuable time with family isn't spent dis tractedand half-hearted. At some point, a line has to be drawn so that all mem bers of the family know that it is acceptable to take time out of a busy schedule, and realize their important role in the family. I am always saddened to hearpeople speak of family members who have disappointed
them in some way: that son or daughter, brother or sister, or some other relative who has become distant or estrangedfora long period oftime aftera disagreement. We have become a culture accustomed to quitting when we don't like how things are going, and giving up on things — and more disturb ingly, people — that fail us. Relationships that we once held dear crumble, and often it seems we are willing to let it happen, if not perpetuat ing it. If we are unwilling to work at ourclosestrelationships when they are in need of improvement, we will cer tainly be unable to reach out to neighbors and strangers who may be in greatneed of help. Often we go through

If we don' t, we create a hostile environment for our selves to wallow in, and for future generations to grow into. We must be careful, however, that when we reach out, it is not a condescend ing, spiteful effort. It can be easy to try to '%x" people.

U.S. tops apan 2-1 in gold-medal soccer match WEMBLEY, England (AP) your-head football showcase, — Hope Solo found herself enveloped in a group hug at the final whistle. Abby Wam bach ran to join the fun in a celebration that unleashed a year of bottled-up frustration. The U.S. women's football team won its third straight Olympic gold medal Thurs day, beating Japan 2-1 in a rematch of last year's World Cup final. Carli Lloyd scored early in both halves, Solo leaped and dived to make saves, and the entire roster found the redemption it had been seek ing since that penalty kick shootout loss in Germany last summer. "This is the dream that we' ve all been thinking about and feel ing forthelastyear since the World Cup," Wam
bach said. Before 80,203 at Wembley Stadium, a record crowd for a women's football game at the Olympics, the teams put on a back-and-forth, don' t-turn
provingagain that these are the two premier teams in the world. Women's football is still in its formative stages in Britain, but the match proved more than worthy for the hal lowed grounds of the beauti ful game. "I just kept pounding my chest, going 'Guys, this is only about heart. We' re all tired, every player on the field. Twenty-two players on the field are tired," Wambach said. "It's about who wants it more, right here, right now. Today we proved that we did." The Japanese perhaps played just as beautifully as the Americans, using their speed and discipline to domi nate possession and scoring chances for long stretches before finally cutting a 2-0 deficit in half with about a half-hour to go. "The result was tough on us, but I'm glad to get a medal," Yukari Kinga said. eWe just wanted to challenge
ourselves. We weren't relaxed but we weren't nervous. We just wanted to enjoy the game. We didn't give up until the very last moment." Back home, America was paying attention — just as it was last year and despit e the rest of the Olympic events. Even President Barack Obama, duringacampaign speechatColorado College during the second half of the game, noted that, "The women are doing pretty good right now in soccer." Lloyd's goals came in eighth and 54th minutes, making it four goals in the tournament for the mid fielder who lost her long-held startingjobw eeksbefore the Olympics. She got back on the pitch when Shannon Boxx injured her hamstring in the opening game and started every game since.

Oregon's Eaton wins
decathlon gold medal LONDON (AP) — In steadofonevictory lap, Ashton Eaton got four.
His Olympic gold medal in the decathlon was all but sealed when he reached the lastevent,the 1,500 meters, where he simply needed to finish in an average time to win the event on Thursday. The world-record holder cruisedover the fourlaps, crossed the line and — even as exhausted as he was startedcelebrating. Eaton finished the two-day competition with 8,869pointsto defeatfellow American Trey Hardee by 198. It's the first time the Americans have gone 1-2 in the Olympic decathlon since Milton Gray Campbell and Rafer Johnson in 1956. "That's what Trey and I really, really wanted," said Eaton, who's from Bend. Especially this year, on
the 100th anniversary of the event. At the 1912 Olym pics, Jim Thorpe won the inaugural title. Thanks to Eaton, the decathlon gold is staying in the United States. Eaton joins 2008 winner Bryan Clay and, of course, Bruce Jenner, in earning the honor as "The World's Greatest Athlete." Though the warm-and sunny conditions in London were far better than the rain, wind and cold at U.S. Olympic trials in Oregon where Eaton broke the record earlier this summer, he fell short of the mark by 170 points. Not that it mattered. His goal was simply to win a medal, not eclipse his world mark of 9,039 points. "I'm satisfied," Eaton said as he struggled to put his accomplishment into words.

o you have room in your home fora softfurry little animal, or another one at your farm, or know of anyone who does? I need your help. Some horrid soul dropped off a very young cat, mostly kitten, on the Morgan Lake Road, perhaps thinking a barn meant a place with cows, milk, mice, and a warm place in the hay to live. Not so. I heard it meowing from afar for a full day and night before it wandered into my place when it saw a work man there. Desperate, it refusedtoleavetheplace since the workman couldn' t take it. After three days of ignor ing it, hoping it would go on its way, it showed signs of starving so I gave it a little milk. It was sad to see its hunger. Because I have no plans to keep an animal, I tried to finda home foritthrough the police department, the humane society, and my friends. The animal control officer does not take cats and the humane society will not answer my calls even to explain ias someone told mel that they no longer take cats because they are being over run with them at this time. My friends have all they can care-for. Peoplehave petsbutif they fail to have their cat spayed,littersproduce numerous little ones, and then they can't get rid of the results. There are just too many cats around with eu thanasia forbidden. They can be accommodated in only so many homes and farms. So, thoughtless folks dump them anywhere. Now, let me tell you about this sweet little innocent who may not survive on the hill because of wild animals looking for food for them selves and their little ones — bobcats, skunks, cougars, raccoons, etc.Ifitdoes sur vive without being spayed, it will grow up to be a feral cat which is a cat that has not been domesticated, the same as wild, left to produce more of the same. Then we really have hillside problems. This little kit/cat is a lovely, lovable, lonely young cat with a tawny colored back and a black tail with a white tip, undoubtedly female, not yet able to fend for itself in the woods to find food foritself by its lack ofgood strong
ing at its best! This camp adventure focuses on the "flour power" of the local bakery, bringing you the bak ing basicsofbreads,pretzels, pies, rolls and much more. Aug. 13-16, 9 to 11:30 a.m.

Everyone who registers will be selected for a part during the audition, which will be held on Monday, beginning at 10 a.m., at the Art Center, 1006 Penn Ave. Auditions will last two hours, at which time the stu
dents will be assigned their roles and given a rehearsal schedule. Rehearsals begin Monday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. and continue throughout the week, mornings from 10 to noon and afternoons, 12:30 to 2:30. Not all children will attend every rehearsal, but must attend when scheduled. Performances are scheduled Friday and Saturday, Aug. 17-18. The show was conceived and written by Jim Caron with music by Greg Boris and lyrics by Jim Caron.
The story goes like this: Somewhere in desert coun try, the inhabitants of West Sandy Bottoms are prepar ing for the highlight of their year — the annual race between the Reptiles and the Mammals. A company of strolling actors attempts to tell the tale in classical fashion. The Hare's weasely managers brag about their racingstarasthe various reptilesassemble tochoose their candidate. Fan clubs are preparing their cheers as the big day draws near. Philoh Ferret reminds the racing fans
thathisservice station isfor "mammals only." As we see the race through the eyes of a TV news team covering the event, we soon discover that there is more than a sporting rivalry between the brown animals and the green animals. Loyalties to theirspecifi ccolorscreate a real animosity among these creatures. As the race proceeds, a tiny bunny is lost in the wilds of Tornado Gulch and, almost miraculously color is forgotten as the mam mals and reptiles join in the search. The wisdom of the

Skyr shies, jump starting the heart By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times
There's something comical about a bunch of middle-aged women leaping like gazelles across an open plain of tram polines. Bouncing, after all, is largely the domain of the preschool set, for which jumpers are pretty much de rigueur. But why should 4-year-olds have all the fun? I, like so many mothers of a certain age, had gotten into a workout rut. Walk. Weightlift. Repeat. After years of the same oldsame old,Iw aseagerfor a change. So I decided to channel my innerkid and try Skyrob ics, a trampoline aerobics class offered through the indoor tram poline park franchise Sky Zone. Trampoline fitness has exist ed foratleast50years.W hat's different about Skyrobics is that it doesn't take place on just one trampoline but 18, which are strung together in an enclosed "court, "orrectangle pattern, allowing users to jump from one trampoline to another and liter ally bounce off the walls. Ittakes 30 percent more energy to run across a trampo line than a hard surface because it moves and rebounds, offering m ore resi stance.It'salsoeasier on the joints. The instability of the trampoline surface works core and lower back muscles as well, because it requires balance. I experienced this high intensity, low-impact routine in all its sweat-enhanced glory on a recent night, when I joined six women in a court across the way from a bunch of teenagers going wild in a game of trampoline dodge ball. Two of the women, who've been taking Skyrobics since Sky Zone opened in Gar dena in the spring, joked they come together so that one of them can carry out the dead See Bounce / Page 2B
It sounds like an unfolding epidemic: A decade ago, virtually no onein the U.S.seemed to have a problem eating gluten in bread and other foods. Now, millions do.

$7 billion this year on foods labeled gluten-free, according to the market research firm Mintel. But the best estimates are that more than half the consumers buying these prod ucts — perhaps way more than half — don't have any clear-cut reaction to gluten. They buygluten-fiee because they think it will help them lose weight, or because they seem to feel better, or because they mistakenly believethey aresensitivetogluten. '%e havea lotofself-diagnosing going on out there," said Melissa Abbott, who tracks the gluten-fiee market for the Hartman Group, a Seattl e-area market research organization. Fads aside, research suggests m ore people are truly getting sick from the gluten found in wheat, rye and barley, but the reasons aren' t clear. In the most serious cases, gluten triggers celiac disease. The con dition causes abdominal pain, bloating and intermittent diarrhea. Those with the ailment don't absorb nutrients well and can suffer weight loss, fatigue, rashes and other problems. It was once considered extremely rare in the U.S. But about 20 years ago,afew scientistsbegan explor ing why celiac disease was less common here than in Europe and other countries. They concluded that it wasn't less common here; it was just under-diagnosed. More recently, a research team led by the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Joseph Mur ray looked at blood samples taken from Americans in the 1950s and compared them with samples taken from people today, and determined it wasn't justbetterdiagnosisdriv ing up the numbers. Celiac disease actually was increasing. Indeed, the research confirms estimates that about 1 percent of U.S. adults have it today, making it four times more

Research suggests more people are getting sick from the gluten found in wheat, rye and barley, but the reasons aren't clear. Some scientists suggest that there may be more celiac disease today because people eat more processed wheat products like pastas and baked goodsthan indecades past,and those items use types of wheat that have a higher gluten content. common now than it was 50 years ago, Murray and his colleagues reported Tuesday in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. That translates to nearly 2 mil lion Americans with celiac disease. Celiac disease is different from an allergy to wheat, which affects a much smaller number of people, mostly children who outgrow it. Scientists suggest that there m ay be more celiacdiseasetoday because people eat more processed wheat products like pastas and baked goods than in decades past, and those items use types of wheat that have a higher gluten content. Gluten helps dough rise and gives baked goods structure and texture. Or it could be due to changes made to wheat, Murray said. In the1950s,scientistsbegan cross-breeding wheat to make hardier, shorter and better-growing plants. It was the basis of the Green Revolution that boosted wheat harvests worldwide. Norman Bor laug, the U.S. plant scientist behind many of the innovations, won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. But the gluten in wheat may have somehow become even more troublesome for many people, Mur ray said.
That also may have contributed to what is now called "gluten sensi tivity." Doctorsrecently developed a definition for gluten sensitivity, but it's an ambiguous one. It's a label forpeoplewho sufferbloating and other celiac symptoms and seem to be helped by avoiding gluten, but don't actually have celiac disease. Celiac disease is diagnosed with blood testing, genetic testing, or biopsies of the small intestine. The case for gluten sensitivity was bolst ered lastyear by avery small but often-cited Australian study. Volunteers who had symp toms were put on a gluten-free diet or aregular dietforsix weeks,and they weren't told which one. Those who didn't eat gluten had fewer problems with bloating, tiredness and irregular bowel movements. Clearly, "there are patients who are gluten-sensitive," said Dr. Sheila Crowe, a San Diego-based physi cian on the board of the American Gastroenterological Association. What is hotly debated is how many peoplehave the problem, she added. It's impossible to know "because the definition is nebulous," she said. See Gluten / Page 2B
Finally some good news aboutcholesteroland kids:A big government study shows that in thepast decade,the propor tion of children who have high cholesterol has fallen. The results are surprising, given that the childhood obesity rate didn't budge. How can that be? Some experts think that while most kids may not be eating less or exercising more, they may be getting fewer trans fats. That' s becausethe artery-clogging ingredient has been removed or reduced in many processed or fried foods such as doughnuts, cookiesand french fries. 'That's my leading theory," said Dr. Sarah de Ferranti, director ofpreventivecardiology at Boston Children's Hospital. She wrote an editorial that ac companies the study. The study did not look at the reasonsforthedecline,butits lead author, Dr. Brian Kit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the theory makes sense. The research, released online Tuesdayby theJournal ofthe American Medical Association, also showed that children's aver age overall cholesterol levels declined slightly. Too much cholesterol in the bloodraisestherisk ofheartdis ease. It isn't usually an immedi ate threat for most children, but those who have the problem often grow into adults with a high risk. Kit and his colleagues drew data from an intensive national study that interviews people and doesblood-cholesteroltests. They focused on more than 16,000children and adolescents over three periods — 1988-94, 1999-2002 and 2007-10. During the most recent period studied,1in 12 children ages 6 through 19 had high cholesterol. That was down from 1 in 9 dur ingeach ofthe earlierperiods roughly a 28 percent decline. The average overall choles terol level fell from 165 to 160. In children, 200 is considered too high. The study was the first in almost 20 years to show such a decline. Kids' cholesterol levels alsofellbetween the 1960s and the early 1990s, probably becausepeoplewere eating less fat. The researchers in the latest studydetectedmodest improve ments in children's levels of so-called good cholesterol, which can protect the heart. That may be partly due to declines in teen smoking and childhood exposure to secondhand smoke overthe lastdecade.Studies have found that chemicals in cigarette smoke can lower good cholesterol.

WASHINGTON — An uneasy sense of deja vu is building among advocates for nearly 2 million workers who help the elderly and disabled live independently in their Q ) ~ g homes. Because of a 38-year-old amend ment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, home health aides and personal care aides in many states can be paid less than the federal minimum wage — $7.25 an hour — and not re ceive overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours in a week.

So after years of failed efforts to change the guidelines, Presi dent Barack Obama in December announced plans to modify the exemption and extend overtime and minimum wage protections to home care workers employed by private companies.

But after twice extending the public comment period, the U.S. De partment of Labor has yet to finalize the rule change, which must be ap proved by the White House and then published in the National Register beforeittakeseffect.

The incidence of high cholesterol dropped about 27 percentin thelastdecade, from about 1 in 5 adults at the beginning of the period to 1in 7 at the end. But cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins were a bigpart ofthereason for that decline — millions of adults take them. Children are rarely given statins. Last year, a government appointed panel urged wide spreadcholesterolscreening for children. It was contro versial because ofconcerns it would lead to more kids be ing given medicine. Experts say statins should be used in only the worst cases — less than 1 percent.

That, along with little exercise, can lead to diabetes and heart disease. eWe may have a small effect in the right direc tion from lower cholesterol, but I'm worried it will be overwhelmed by the earlier onset of obesity in younger and younger children," de Ferranti said.

able." This is not the first study to suggest a payoff in trans fat policy efforts. The U.S. Department of Agriculture found that from 2005 to 2010,the average trans fat content in bakery items and otherfoods declined steeply. A small, preliminary CDC study published earlier this year found significant drops in trans fats in white adults between 2000 and 2009. Despite the good news,
Project.eWe are very concerned about the delays, especially given the history with these regulations." The Labor Department says the proposal is still on the regulatory agendabutprovided no time frame forcompletion. In the years since the exemption became law, home-care workers have become the nation's fastest-growing occupation, with more than 1.3 mil lion new jobs expected by 2020 as millions of aging baby boomers reach their golden years and require care. As profits at home-care agencies soared, the $84 billion industry has fought to maintain the pay exemp tions, which boost revenue by keep ing labor costs down. Nationally, home-care workers average about $20,000 a year, but 40 percent are on Medicaid orfood stamps because few work 40-hour weeks. Their low wages typically alsomakejob-based health coverage unaffordable. Modifying the exemption would bring a host of new costs for the industry, including an estimated $16 million in the first year to increase workers' pay to the minimum wage. It would add nearly $35 million a year to pay workers for time spent traveling to clients as well, according
to Labor Department estimates. In El Paso, Texas, Elizabeth Castillo earns the minimum wage at one home-care agency and just over the floor wage at another. Castillo, 57, typically logs 56 hours a week, but sometimes she gets food stamps when she doesn't reach 40 hours. Her meager earnings are further

Made up largely of older women, minorities and immigrants, the home-care workforce provides many services not envisioned when the exemption became law, like admin istering medications, assisting with physical therapy and meal prepara tion. Because of the low pay, few benefits and the tedious nature of the work, the industry has a high turnover rate. Experts fear that couldcause shortages asdemand for services grows.

COFFEE BREAK
Wife with a p etite for sex hBS husband w o's never hungry
NEWS OF THE WEIRD Road crew paints line over dead raccoon
didn't help. But the crew did try to stop the paint gun.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa.1AP1 DEAR ABBY: I am 38andhave been married to a goodhusbandandprovider for 11 years. We have two beautiful children and a lovely home. Weappear to be the perfect couple. Our problem is, my husbandseemsto be intimidated by my sexuality. In the past, I have told my husbandwhat pleasesme. My commentsmade him feelinadequate,and he has completely given up. We haven't had sex in two years. He says he would rather pleasure himself so hedoesn't have to worry that he isn't "doing it right." I am a normal, red-blooded woman, and Ineed sexseveraltimesamonth. Is that so wrong? I haveresorted to having an atfair with a manwhosewife isn't interested in sex, but I would prefer having a sexlife with my husband. I think my husbandknows I am unfaithful. However, heacceptsitbecauseit'seasierfor him to deal with than having sexwith me. Is there anything I can do tomake my husband try again? — DESPERATELY SEEKING SEX DEAR DESPERATELY: Having atfairs may tempora rilysatisfyyoursexualneeds, butitcan only damageyourmarriagefurther. Ifevertherewerecandidateswhocould benefit from sex therapy, it is you andyour husband. Even though hemay bereluctant to face this problem, insist that heseea therapist with you. Pleasedon't wait — it could save your marriage. DEAR ABBY: I'm 17 andhavebeenbest friends with"Alana"forfi veyears.W edo everything together. Welike the samethings, andwe'reso closethatwefi nisheachother's sentences.She's like a sister to me. However, thedifferencebetween usis that Alana gets crushes onboys that never work out, whereasmultiple boys have liked me. After each crush falls through, Alana says her life is awful and it must be her fault. When I try to tell her it's not her fault
and she's a wonderful person, sheendsthe conversation. It hurts me to see her upset, but sometimes
I feel lost about what to do. Whatcan I do to helpmy friend know she'sabeautifulperson inside and out, andshe doesn't need aboy to
The "squirrelly" configuration of a western Pennsylvania road helped cause a state road crew to paint a double-yellow line over a dead raccoon. Motorcyclist Sean McAfee snapped a photo of the mistake beforeitcould be cleaned up and submitted it to the Tribune Democrat of Johnstown. He says he almost crashed, he was laughing so hard. PennDOT spokesman John Ambrosini says paint crews usually have a foreman on the job who clears away any dead animals before the paint-spray ing truck equipment passes by. This crew didn't have a foreman and the equipment was too big to turn around in trafftc, remove the animal and repair the paint. He says the "the squirrelly geometry" of the narrow road
be happy? I love herandjust want her to be OK. — BEST FRIENDS IN RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALIF. DEAR BEST FRIENDS: Until Alana learns for herself that shedoesn't need a boy to be happy,shewill continue develop ing crushesthat don't work out. Boys are attracted to girls who appear to behappy and confident, and your friend appears tobe DEAR neither. Much asyou
ABBY
might like to, you can't fix this for her.
But once she finally gets the message,shewill probably real ize that someone she never took the time to
notice has acrush on HER. DEAR ABBY: I gave birth to a sonalmost 40 years ago. His biological father would not help me, so I placed thebaby for adoption. Here's theproblem: Peoplearealways asking me if I have anychildren. Should I lie and say no, or try to explain? Legally, my son does not belong to me.Pleasetell me what to say to my questioners. — SINCERELY CONCERNED DEAR CONCERNED: Usually people ask that question only as away to makecon versation. Your personal history is nobody' s business. If you prefer not to give adetailed explanation about your personal history, simply say no.
WASHINGTON 1AP1 —A Washington musician who ordered a flat-screen TV from Amazon.corn was shocked to receive a semiautomatic assault rifle instead. Thirty-eight-year-old Seth Horvitz says he purchased the 39-inch television from a third partyseller.A box arrived from UPS on Tuesday evening, and it seemed too small to contain the TV. He says he initially thought itcontained accessories. But when he opened it, he found a Sig Sauer military-style rifle. H esayshehad never held a gun beforehefeltthetrigger of the rifle. An invoice showed that the gun was intended for delivery
Glasses keep Israeli w omen out ofsight JERUSALEM 1AP1 — It's the latestprescription forextreme ultra-Orthodox Jewish men who shun contact with the opposite sex: Glasses that blur their vision, so they don't have to see women they consider to be im modestly dressed. In an effort to maintain their strictly devout lifestyle, the ultra-Orthodox have separated the sexes on buses, sidewalks and other public spaces in their neighborhoods. Their interpreta tion of Jewish law forbids con tact between men and women who are not married.
Careful bear raids candy shop DENVER 1AP1 —A bear in
The bear made seven trips in about 15 minutes, finally leaving afterapassing car apparently scared him away. Store owner Jo Adams said Wednesday the bear managed to pop open the door because the deadbolt wasn't completely secured. She said the only evidence her mindful visitor left behind was some dirt on a counter and some paper on the ground. There weren't even any wrappers, so she assumes he ate those too. "He was very clean and very careful. He ate a lot of candy," said Adams of the bear break-in, first reported by the Estes Park News. Keeping bears out of human food in homes, garbage cans and carsisan ongoing struggle in
a candy store is nothing like a bull in a china shop. At least not this one. A black bear went in and out ofa Colorado candy store multiple times early one July morning, but he used the front door and didn't break a thing. The bear did, however, steal some treats from the Estes Park store, including English toffee and some chocolate-chip cookies dipped in caramel and milk chocolate called "cookiebears." Surveillance video at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory showed the bear prying open the door and grabbing some candy near the registers. He took the treats outside and ate them, then returned for more.

Colorado's mountain towns, in cluding Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. A bear that broke into more than one occupied home there was euthanized last month because it posed a danger to people, Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill said. She said this year's drought is making the intelligent animals even more resourceful in finding food, and success can put them in danger of one day being put down. Adams said she's a bear lover and doesn't support killing the animals. ''We' re in their turf, and you just put up with these things when they happen," she said.

HUNTING
FISHING
BAKER COUNTY COUGAR: Cougars can be found throughout Baker County but hunters should target areas with high con centrations 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. BEAR: Fall bear hunters should focus their efforts on areas with a good food source. Hawthorn, huckle berries and plums are fa vored by bears in the early fall. All successful hunters are required to check in the skull at an ODFW office. COYOTE: Coyote num bers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late af ternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunt ing on private properties. UNION COUNTY GROUND SQUIRRELS: Squirrels are up and active. Remember, always ask first to hunt on private land. COUGARS: Cougars are common inUnion 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 cou gar can be productive. A cougar kill is often covered with material that has been SeeHunting / Pa/,e 5C

The fish are a little smaller but still numerous. • Olive Lake, near Gran ite, is at its best during the hot summer months. WARM WATER INCREASE STRESS TO FISH With the advent of warm summer water tem peratures (70 degrees and more), anglers can reduce the stress to fish by taking the following precautions when catching and releas ing fish: Fish during the cooler times of the day, usually mornings and evenings. Use barbless hooks, play and land the fish quickly. When releasing wild fish, keep them in the water as much as possible Shift your fishing efforts to higher elevation moun tain lakes and streams where water temperatures often remain cool.

Report
VIEWING Report UNION COUNTY LADD MARSH WILDLIFE AREA Tule Lake 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, northern pintail, American wigeon, ring-necked duck, mallard, gadwall, cinna mon teal, green-winged teal and northern shoveler. Broods of ducklings and goslings can be seen in nearly any wetland. Most Canada goslings are nearly as big as the adults and have "colored up" to look like them, too. Shorebirds have included killdeer, black-necked stilt, American avocet, greater yellowlegs, spotted sandpiper, Wilson's snipe and others. Some southbound shorebirds have started to show up. Local sandhill cranes have hatched and the young maybe visible as they feed in meadows with their parents. Many young cranes have fledged and joined small groups with the adults. Cranes can be seen from county roads in several locations. Please report any sandhill cranes SeeViewing / Pa/,e 5C

Briefly
The Observer
These bands generate information, not rock and roll melodies, information that is sometimes beautiful music to curious regional biologists. The bands are those again being placed this summer on hundreds of birds at the Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area with major help from members of an Oregon Youth Conserva tion Corps team. Each band contains an identification number to help biologists monitor the bird. The bands have atoll-fiee phone num berpeoplecan calltoreport birdsthey have found and get information on them. OYCC crews have been banding ducks and geese at Ladd Marsh for 19 years and started banding mourning doves four years ago and sandhill cranes in 2007. The OYCC crew at Ladd Marsh this summer has banded about 800 mallards, 100 geese, 120 mourning doves and two sandhill cranes, said David Bronson of the ODFW. The sandhill cranes proved the most challenging to cap ture and band, according to

Russell is a migratory bird bander with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Poor and Boquist are with the Oregon Youth Conservation Corps. Dave Larson, manager of the Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area. The cranes captured were two young birds laying in a field of high grass. The colts were located after OYCC crew members walked the field in a grid pattern. Those banding them had to be extra careful. "Cranes are more aggres sive than ducks and geese," Larson said. The large beaks of the birds were also a concern. "Their beaks are closer to you iwhen they are being
handled)," said Larson, an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist. The mourning doves are also a challenge to handle becauseoftheir surprising power. "They are explosive," said Justin Russell, a migratory bird bander for the ODFW. Russell places bands on waterfowl, mourning doves and sandhill cranes with the assistance of the OYCC crew. Information on the wa terfowl and mourning doves
banded is sent to the U.S. Biological Service. Sandhill crane banding information is sent to the International Crane Foundation, a non profit organization dedicated tothe conservation ofcranes. Birds banded at Ladd Marsh sometimes have been found in interesting places. Once, a green-winged teal turned up in Louisiana two months after being banded at Ladd Marsh. Mallards from here have also ended up in Maryland and Illinois, said. SeeBanding / Page 2C
CORVALLIS (AP) — A bat that was picked up by a group of Boy Scouts canoeing in the Willamette River has tested positive for rabies. Benton County health officials said Wednesday the boys who touched the bat with their bare hands will be evaluated to deter mine whether they were exposed to the disease and need a vaccine. The Oregonian reports this is the second bat in Benton County, and the seventh in the state of Oregon, to test positive for rabies this year. The four boys who found the bat Friday took it to a scout leader who placed it in a container and called the county health department. The troop had been canoeing from Eugene to Hyak Park. The bat was found about three miles north of Corvallis.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Biolo gist Cathy Nowak holds a young sandhill crane, which was captured and banded at Ladd Marsh with the help of Oregon Youth Conservation Corps crew members.
This is one of the mourning doves banded at the Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area this summer.
BANDING Continued from 1B Once, a mourning dove banded in July or August at Ladd Marsh was harvested in Twin Falls, Idaho, in Sep tember, said ODFW Biolo gist Cathy Nowak. The information gained from the banding program does more than reveal way w ard travel patterns.Italso allows biologists to: • describe migration routes. • access harvest pressure. • estimate survival rates. At Ladd Marsh, ducks, geese and doves are baited into wire cages. The cages have funnel-shaped openings that allow the birds to enter but not escape. Helping banding birds is just one of many things the OYCC crew has done this summer. Other work it has done includes: • the construction of two foot bridges over creeks and ditches. •harvestingnativeseed, which is being used for restoration work. • the removal of woody vegetation on dykes. • the cleaning of hunting blinds. • the clearing of a fire access road on Glass Hill. • picking up trash and removing weeds at public access areas. The OYCC crew also did cleaning and repair work at Morgan Lake as a commu nityserviceprojectforthe City of La Grande. The OYCC program operating at Ladd Marsh is funded by state lottery dollars and conducted with assistance from the ODFW, the Certified Personnel Services Agency, the Grande Ronde Model Watershed and the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation. The Grande Ronde Model Watershedand the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Founda tionprovide grants for the program.

The OYCC crew at Ladd Marsh is led by Hailey Miguez of La Grande. Miguez gradu ated from EOU Mi g u ez in June with a degree in anthropology and from Powder Valley High School in 2008. The crew she leads is comprised of Chris tian Bennett, Taylor Boquist, Mitch Workinger and Kaleb Poor, all of whom live in Union County and are 16 to 18 years old. Larson credits members of the crew with doing an excel lent job. "They show a lot of initiative." The biologist credits their work with significantly increasing the number of birds banded and boosting public accessibility at Ladd Marsh. Nowak notedthat many OYCC crew members are interested in pursuing natural resources careers. The experience they receive working at Ladd Marsh, she said, often helps them work toward beginning careers in this field.

Three mule deer bucks sample the eats at Ladd Marsh near Hot Lake. Bucks often form bachelor groups at this time of year. They travel together until the fall hunting seasons separate them or urges of the November rut changes their attitudes toward each other. Archery season for mule deer begins on Aug. 25.
Unlike most gardeners in the Grande Ronde Valley, residents near the Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area have their own ways of telling when their produce is ready. When the mule deer begin munching on the broccoli, the gophers start chewing on the carrots and the rac coons begin sampling the apples, it's time to harvest. Pocket gophers relish a scarlet Nantes about 4 inches long and mule deer enjoy comet broccoli just when it starts to head out. A raccoon favorite is a Lodi apple — still a little tart, with just a reddish blush on the skin, but before it gets too soft.
