PORTLAND iAPl — Gov. John Kitzhaber declared a state of emergency in Oregon on Thursday, citing an imminent threat of wildfire. The governor said that much of the state faces extreme fire danger and weather fore casts call for hot, dry, windy conditions. The declaration authorizes the immediate use of National Guard helicopters to help fight the Barry Point Fire in southern Oregon. It's an open-ended declaration that can be used in other wildfires through the end of this fire season, likely sometime in Septem ber, said Kitzhaber spokesman Cameron Smith. Still, Smith said the declaration is "not a blank check" and use of Guard helicopters w ill be considered on acase by casebasis. "Oregon and the nation are heading into a challenging stretch of fire season," the gover nor said in a statement. "As national firefight ing resources are constricted, my top priority is to ensure the state is able to effectively contain wildfires to keep the public and our firefighters safe." The Barry Point Fire is burning southwest of Lakeview and straddles the Oregon California border. The fire has burned across about 123 square miles, or 79,000 acres, fire spokeswoman Renee Snyder said Thursday. Fire lines have been established around about a third of that, and officials said they had moved personnel and equipment to the southern side of the fire where the potential for spreading was extreme. On Wednesday, fi re crews dug and burned protective strips around two houses in south central Oregon to save them from the fire. The operation included coating the houses with protective gel, Snyder said. "Everything was successful, and the homes were saved," she said.

Pretending the problem doesn't exist obvi Oh, yeah? iMore spin here.) ously doesn't make it go away. And both sides know it. So here's a Oh, yeah? iAngry rebuttal spin here.)

bit of unspinning: The Democrats' plan does reduce future growth in Medicare spending by about $700 billion to help fund other parts of the Afford able Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The Obama plan places greater emphasis on government oversight to hold down future costs, particularly in restricting payments to doctorsand hospitals. The Ryan plan, as revealed in his two latest H ouse-passed budgets,effectively acceptsthe Obamacare cuts. The difference is how his plan goes after that reduced Medicare spending. Ryan would emphasize private-sector competition, placing his faith in the free market over government regulation. Importantly, Ryan revised his 2013 budget with a key improvement. Instead of phasing out government-run Medicare, he now offers

future recipients younger than 55 a choice: a voucher to buy private insurance or today' s Medicare. The vouchers, whose rate would be setby a bidding process,would cover govern ment-approved plans; if voucher holders want a more expensive plan, they would pay the extra.

Throwing in a wrinkle Romney, the actual presidential candidate, throws a wrinkle by insisting that his Medi care plan is not precisely Ryan's. Both are committed to repealing Obamacare, but the Romney campaign says it would not preserve the Obamacare-driven cuts, as the Ryan plan would. Clear now? Give it some time. We have conventions and debates and more than two months of study time ahead. Make use of it. Doing nothing really isn't an option.

Unfortunate ly,we receiveno grantsorsubsidies and cannot survive on occasional last minute fares, and EOU stu dents. And when there is a special event ii.e., county fair, Vietnam Wall) they put on a special route and run outside of normal days and hours to even more negatively impact our ability to make a living. When I started driving, 15-16 fares was a slow day. Now itis six to eight and one driver got one run in a 12-hour shift. A good day was 35 or more. Now breaking 20 is a rarity. It is a shame.

If Mom and Dad don't stop, why should the kids? Aren't the laws the same for bikes as for cars? Not only should the cars watch out for the kids, the kids should watch out for cars.

' We feel like God has called us here to be a ministry. Where would there ever be a better place than the world renown Flora-Bama?" His sermon is one of re demption and hope, followed by a communion with bread and grapejuice instead of wine. Many members of his flock were regular churchgoers beforethey started attend ing the Flora-Bama service. Others have become regulars because they like the unique

setting, Mount said. "Some had never been to church, ever, but they felt so comfortable here in the Flora-Bama," he said. Church member Paul Hol land is a longtime fan of the Flora-Bama, which he says is a five-star honky-tonk filled with top-shelf rednecks. He has become an even bigger fan of the church service. "I don't want to be judged because I don't have a three piece-suit and I don't drive a brand-new car and this is that kind of church — they don't judge you. I feel like I'm more welcome in this church than any I' ve ever attended in my life," he said. The service is just a year

old, starting on July 4, 2011. Church volunteer Joye Fletcher was baptized behind the Flora-Bama in the Gulf of Mexico during Worship at the Water's first anniversary. "It's just an awesome spirit-led service," she said. The service isoften a surprise for the tourists who flock to the strip of snow white sand and turquoise water during the summer months, said Bruce Barrios, the bar's Sunday manager. ''We have people come in and when they see we are having church they pick up a Bloody Mary, a bushwhacker or a soft drink, sit down and listen to the sermon. It's re ally cool, you know."

The city council hired Mike Little as Elgin's official city ordinance and animal control officer effective July 1. The city created this new position because thecontract for law enforcement be tween the City of Elgin and the Union County SherifFs Department does not include city ordinance enforcement. Little will spend 40 hours each month on duty keep ing a watch for residents living within the city limits who are not complying with city ordinances. He will also be respondingtoreportsof animal problems.

During his first month of enforcement, Little said he has inspected about one quarter of the city. He has not fined anyone so far, but he did issue an order to one residentto appear before the municipal court for a nuisance dog issue. Little also caught a stray dog and spent two days searching for its owner. He was successful thanks to a m edical tag and a helpfulvet. Another dog was not as fortu nate, though, because it had no identification on it, and so Little took the lostdog tothe humane society. "I hated to take the one dog to the humane society, but it had no dog license or identification on it and no way for me to find its owner," saidLittle."Dogsneed to be licensed after they turn 6 months old."

"So I picked a few ordinances to focus on like tall grass, unkempt grass and fields, excessive debris and junk in general." Tall grass is defined as anything over 10 inches in height, Little said, and it's a greater fire hazard this time of year. "I'm trying to go through town and talk to people who have the tallestgrassand convince them to take care of the problem," he said. "I will also give them a copy of the ordinance." Another ordinance Little will enforce is about free limbs that are hanging too low over sidewalks and park ing lanes. Boughs need to be trimmed atleast8feetabove sidewalks.

"I will listen to the people, and I won't push them," said Little. "I want to fry to help them get things straight, and when they do, I' ll go back and thank them." He added, "Most of this work is an educational thing, teaching people what needs to be done to comply. People are willing to comply when they know what the ordi nance says." Little takes pride in the town he's called home for the past 54 years. He said he has worked at Boise'sparticle boardplantforthepast37 years, but is willing to work this added part-time job to help his town. "I'm doing this for the simple fact that Elgin needs cleaning up and it can be done easily if people just cooperate," said Little. "I'm getting a very good response so far, and I'm giving people a good length of time to make

the necessary changes. I' ll try to show reasonableness." Little said he received greatcooperation from Boise Cascade who mowed the tall grassalong theirfence line and from Sam Horrell, whose workers cleaned up some of his properties in question. Little will continue to cover another quarter section of the city in August, doing drive-by inspections on week days and weekends. "I received an old Dodge pick-up truck donated by the Union County SherifFs De partment," said Little. '%e'll put some kind of metallic signs on the side ipanelsl that say City Ordinance Offi cer and Animal Control, and the truck will have some dog boxes on the back.

NFL not doseon deal with rels NEWYORK (AP) — Less than three weeks before the seasonkicksoff ,the NFL and the NFL Referees Association are no closer to an agreement to end the lockout of the officials. As replace ment officials work preseason games — and generally get criticized for their performances — the league and officials disputed such issues as full-time em ployees and adding officiating crews. On Sept. 5, the Cowboys visit the Gi ants to open the sea son. Not since 2001 has the NFL played games that count in the standings with replacement officials, and that was for one week. This lockout began June 3.

New coaches aplen for La Grande High School By Casey Kellas The Observer

It's that time of year again. Coaches dusting off their whistles and prepping for the fast-approachingfallsports season. And with any new season, there comes new faces. And for La Grande High School, this fall welcomes the debut of four new head coaches. Or five ,depending on how you look at it. Kenny Mace takes over the football team after the resignation of Dave Collin sworth; Sam Brown will lead thegirlssoccerteam; Wade Wright and Jessy Watson will co-coach the boys soccer team; and Talia Welch will head the cross country team. Welcome to fall camp. All of the incoming coaches aren't entirely new. All of them have been in volved with the team in some capacity in recent seasons. For Mace, he has been a coordinatorand assistant for the past six years. Brown helped Elena Nightingale coach the girls soccerteam a couple ofyears ago, then coached the junior varsityboys lastseason. Watson helped Dan Mielke coach the varsity boys soccer team last year, and Wright has coachedat some levelfor the betterpartof16years, including one season assisting Watson at Eastern Oregon University. Welch, who was just hired on Monday, has a daughter on the cross country team and watched all of the LHS meets last year. She said she is familiar with most of the returning runners. It should make for an inter esting year on the field, on the pitch, and on the course.

Wright, Watsontake charge Wright and Watson step in for the departed Mielke, who stepped down due to time conflicts with a new position

at EOU. The new coaches lead an LHS squad that struggled to a 2-9-2 record last year, including a 2-6-1 mark in the Greater Oregon League. The Tigers scored just 13 goals, while allowing 36. But Wright, who played col legiately at Cascade College, is hoping for a turn around this year. With co-head coaches, Wright thinks the boys soc cerprogram willbe m ore stable, and allow some of the younger players to progress a little faster. ''We have a unique coach ing style," Wright said of him and Watson. ''We' re all going to train together as one team," Wright said. "The junior varsity and varsity. So when a kid steps in as a freshman, he will play through one system his whole way through." Wright said there have been open conditioning sessions this summer, with offic ialpracticessetto begin Monday. H e said he anticipates32 35 players tocome out. As far as his expectations, he beli eves the Tigerscan get back to their winning ways. "I believe we' ll be competi tive in the district. I think we have as good of a shot as anyone. "The players are excited and they have a great at titude. ''We have high expectations this first season."

What can Brown do for yOLI? Brown takes over for Elena Nightingale, who had three successful seasons as head coach, but stepped away to spend more time with her family. The Lady Tigers went 11-3-1 overall and won the GOL with an 8-1 record in 2011. LHS outscored its oppo nents 57-17.

Observer file photo

Jessy Watson is just one new coach for La Grande High School this fall. Brown, 36, has never been a head varsity coach, but brings plenty of coaching experience. He said that the Lady Ti gers' motto this season will be 'Play to win for real as one.' ''We' re going to seek to play hard. Our style of soccer is influenced by Spanish soccer — FC Barcelona in particu lar," Brown said. He added that LHS will focuson lotsofpossession and passing. The Lady Tigers attended three tournaments this sum mer and have been working on conditioning. So is a repeat as district champs in the near future for this team? 'The girls have played together a lot. I think we can have a very promising season. ''We hope to win the GOL and competeata higherlevel with teams on the western side of the state," Brown said. 0$cial practices start Mon day for the Lady Tigers.

Welch steps up Talia Welch comes into a situation with little time to prepare. After Wright was hired away from the cross country

team tocoach the boys soccer team, track and field coach Peter Fry was hired to take over cross country at LHS. But Fry took a job in his hometown recently, leaving the cross country squad with no leader. So Welch stepped up on short notice. "I'm all about running. And I want the program to continue," Welch said. She brings a wealth of experienceto aprogram that has seen success but has lacked numbers in recent years. She has coached at EOU fora totalof10years and spent five seasons coach ing the LHS track and field program. Her husband, Ben, is the cross country and track and field coach at EOU. And her daughter, Amanda, will be a sophomore runner this fall for LHS. Amanda Welch qualified for the state meet as a freshman a year ago. The new coach thinks there will be a little more participa tion this season, with eight girls and four boys showing interest already. But even with the season

just a couple of weeks away, Welch doesn't want to rush things with her runners. "Every kid is an individual. We want to help them achieve a goal that makes them feel

good. ''We want a good effortfor the team and for themselves. But we have to take it slow and let them develop," Welch said. The Tigers first meet will be in Vale Aug. 31.

Mace now the man For Mace, becoming a head coach has been something he has worked hard for since his days as a player ended. He has coached every as pectofthe game as an assis tant with LHS, from running special teams,tocoordinating both the offense and defense. Now he's responsible for it all. He will try and lead the Tigers to their first winning season since 2006. ''We have realistic goals, but they are going to challenge us," Mace said. The Tigers start the season against Nyssa Aug. 31 at Community Stadium.

First-ever mudd voile ball tournament in El n raises $3,200 for food banks By Tiish Yerges The Observer

ELGIN — Thirteen vol leyball teams Rom Union County converged upon the Elgin Stampede grounds Aug. 11 for the first annual "Muddy for a Mission" volley ball tournament that raised

$3,200 to benefit food banks in four Eastern Oregon counties. "Oh,mygosh! Itwas so much fun." said Carmen Gentry, Community Connec tion Manager and Food Bank Manager. "All the teams were from UnionCounty,butwe did have some players Rom Baker County who were placed on existing teams." Three nets were set up on the grounds that would accommodate six teams play ing concurrently. The top five winning teams moved into the champion shipbracket.A lotofcom peti tion mixed with a lot of mud produced one hilariously entertaining fundraiser. "Legacy Ford's Filthy Ver mins team won first place," said Gentry, "and they will get free team entry into next year's tournament and brag ging rights. 'They will be the team to beat next year." Second place went to the Political Junkies and third place went to Subway's team. All the teams won trophies and medals.

Brad Masher/The Observer

Legacy Ford's Filthy Vermin players Lasa Baxter, Amanda Timm, Brandon May and Melinda Becker (far right) cel ebrate winning the Muddy for a Mission Mud Volleyball tournament Saturday in the Elgin Stampede arena, while teammate Nic Laquerica gives tournament director Carmen Gentry a muddy hug. Looking back Gentry said there were only a few things she would like to tweek to make it an even better event next year. "One thing we did learn is that there's so much going on the second week of August that we may have to bump it a weekend," said Gentry. 'There was just a lot of stufF going on this weekend. "Next year we may look at the third weekend of August. We' ll check everyone else' s calendar and see what's go ing on." Spectator attendance was low,partly because ofcompet ing community events, but

Gentry was very pleased that

theyraised $3,200 in spite of the busy calendar. Next year, Gentry also wants to amend the play schedule if possible. "Definitely next year we' re going to cut the play time down to 15 minutes instead of 20 minutes. We ended about two hours earlier than we expected. If we can get more teams next year then bumping the full play down to 15 minutes for each one of those morning games will be a lot better." Gentry also thought about starting a little later around 10 a.m. so by the time the

championship games are being played, they can put on the stadium and rodeo lights and make it a moonlight championship. 'The silent auction was amazing. They raised over

$1,000 for us. 'To all the local merchants who contributed, I want to give a huge thank you to all of them because that would not have been possible with out their generosity," said Gentry. The enthusiasm for the tournament was so strong that Gentry said most of the teams she talked to are returning to play next year.

Some players already had plans to recruit their own teams. "I think next year we will probably double our teams," said Gentry. "It's going to be that popular. It may go to 26 teams, but it all depends on how many games I can get in on a day. I' ll check with the tournament scheduler. I hope togetmore representa tion Rom all four counties to benefit them." The dignitaries who volunteered for the "Dunk your Dignitary" event had a splashinggood time too. "I'm not so sure if more kids didn't dunk them than

adults," Gentry said. "There was a whole line of kids over there. They were having a good time." Gentry wanted to thank the Elgin Stampeders for the use of their grounds for the tournament. It was a mutu ally beneficial event. "The Stampeders were able to do concessions, and they had the beer garden," said Gentry. "Theykeptthe funds Rom their sales in lieu of rent Rom us. It worked out just perfectly." Community Connection of Northeast Oregon, Inc. will use the $3,200 they raised to purchasefood and distribute it to Wallowa, Union, Baker and Grant county food banks.

'Your donation will stay in the county in which you reside," said Gentry.

Memories abound as old worse for wear barn hits century mark he barn has sat there for 100 years. It has had no big fanfare orspecial appreciation. It has just sat there quietly counting up its years — one by one — until it reached the century mark. It is worse for its wear, but it seems as sturdy now as it was when the brawn behind stone, lumber, saw, hammer and nails first put it together in 1912. Snow waters draining off the hill have washed through it; soil erosion had to be shoveled from it from time to time. The wood weathered and the hinges loosened, boards came loose and dropped away, but still it stands beneath the fading coatofbarn red paint. I remember it when it was still in its prime of life. Cows stood in its stanchions and milkers brought forth the pails of foaming white nutri tious protein. The animals munched hay, gave produce, and then parted company to graze the hillside. Rabbits filled hutches in the barn and, next door, chickens fenced within the yard of the brick and stucco chicken house clucked and scratchedthe earth,pecking here and pecking there, then sat on cozy nests to show their gratitude in the way of

The barn had a life before I came along. It was already 14 years old when I was born and waited another six before our family claimed it as our own for a brief stay. It wasn't until the barn was half a century old before the Fleshmans settled into the farmhouse for good. The dairy herd of the Hofinanns and Lovans had vanished by then as a dairy and as a temporary fam ily home in the beginning, but the Swiss emblem was refurbished on the side of the barn, signs were hung naming it Edelweiss Acres, and Randy's canton shields adorned the 49-year-old chalet. Now I have lived here for almost half of the old barn's existence. It is slowly aging, repairable maybe by some one who knows how and can replacethe missing boards,

U er rOm a on?

What to avoid, what to eat

1s ntce and

Inflammation is at the root of manydiseases.Good food choices can play a role in preventing inflammation.

Interested in Indian food? Want to try some Thai? Some ethnic foods and in gredients not only have pow erful, distinctive flavors, they might have nutritional and health benefits, according to Janet Carver, a culinary team leaderatIngredion, Inc., an Illinois-based food ingredient manufacturer formerly called Corn Prod ucts. And, using ethnic spices can help a cook reduce salt and fat without diminishing flavor, said Carver. Studies have reported that ginger, found in many Asian foods, reduces muscle pain and soreness. Cinnamon may help maintain healthy bloodsugar levels.Turmeric, ginger and garlic may block fat absorption. Oregano has as many antioxidants as spinach. "Ethnic recipes can deliver overtwo grams ofspicesand herbs per serving," said Diego Serrano, directorofproduct development at McCormick & Co, a spice and season ingcompany.Forexample, Indian food typically contains twice as many spices as usual American fare.

They are not a slam-dunk, and even obesityexpertswho praised the study acknowledge the measures are a political hot potato, smacking of a "nanny state" and opposed by industry and cash-strapped schools relying on food pro cessors' money. Children in the study gained less weight from fifth through eighth grades if they lived in states with strong, consistent laws versus no laws governing snacks avail able in schools. For example, kids who were 5 feet tall and 100 pounds gained on average 2.2 fewer pounds if they lived in states with strong laws in the three years studied. Also, children who were overweight or obese in fifth grade were more likely to reach a healthy weight by eighth grade if they lived in states with the strongest laws.

Golfing 1s a good workout Golfing is good for fitness. Consider these findings from a new report: • Walking an 18-hole round of golf, carrying a bag or using a pull cart, is equivalent to about a five-mile walk. • Walking 18 holes and carrying clubs burns about 2,000 calories. Riding in a cart reduces the game'scaloric expenditure to 1,300 calories. • When walk ing 18 holes, blood glucose levels fall by up to 20 percent for young players, 10 percent for the

CHICAGO — At Groupon's Chicago office, it's easy to look up to Joel Hadley. During most of his eight-hour-plus workday, Hadley stands at his desk, his head more than afootabove seated col leagues. Hadley says standing makes him feel alert, focused and ener gized. He also has less back and neck pain than when he used a chair. But it's not necessarily the standing that makes Hadley feel better. Instead, the trick may be that the 29-year-old sales analyst rarely sits down. Thirty minutes of exercise a day used to be thought ofasprotec tion against the damaging effects of a desk job. Studies now show that even for those who work out during the day, prolonged sitting can increase the long-term risk of illness or death. As a result, some office workers are literally standing up for their health — shunning expensive er gonomically correct chairs, build ing makeshift standing desks and even slowly walking on treadmill desks, also called walkstations. Hundreds of companies, includ ing Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Dell and Google, offer employees standing and treadmill desk op tions. It's not just a Silicon Valley movement; employees at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Institutes of Health, the Mayo Clinic and dozens of universities have all purchased some formofa standing ortread mill desk. "In our society, many people are literally living with a stalled met abolic rate similar to an anesthe tizedpatient forover 80 percent of theday,"said inactivity researcher Mare Hamilton, a professor at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. "No wonder we have an unsustainable health crisis." In thepast severaldecades, increaseduse ofcars,computers and television has contributed to disease, expertssay.Some people are either lying down or sitting 20 hours a day, raising their risk of heart disease,obesity,diabetes and some cancers, said Hamilton. "Itwas a huge oversight to ever think traditional forms of exercise, such as hopping on your treadmill for a few hours a week, can pro videthe specifi c antidote to spend ing 140 hours a week resting," said Hamilton, who pioneered the fledgling field of"inactivity physi ology." "Sitting too much isn't the same as exercising too little." Since 2003, several of Ham ilton's studies have found that physical inactivity, such as sitting, can impair key mechanisms in the body that regulate fat and cholesterol metabolism — chang es thataren'treversed by exercise. Sitting also dramatically reduces contractions or electrical activ ity in skeletal muscles, because the chair is supporting the body's weight, Hamilton said. ''When you' re standing or walking, your leg muscles are constantly working, which helps to clear glucose and fatsfrom the bloodstream," said Hidde van der Ploeg, a senior researcher at the Department of Public and Occupational Health and the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam. "If you' re sitting, this isn't happening because the m uscles aren'tactive." Even if you' re meeting the World Health Organization standards for 30 minutes of ex ercise a day, "it's still important what you do in the remaining

Sedentary behavior may also encourage weight gain — a risk factorfora hostofillnesses— by reducing the amount of inciden tal activity in a person's life. In one recent study by Hamilton, volunteerswere asked to sitfor a day and fed limited calories. The participants — even those who were lean and exercised regularly — rapidly developed insulin resistance, the key cause ofdiabetes.Theresultssuggest that "while exercise and healthy diet are good for some things, they do not immunize you from sitting too much," said Hamilton. Chicago adventurer, running coach and fitness expert Jenny Hadfield routinely exercises, but when she transitioned from man aging a corporate fitness center to writing full time, she found she was moving considerably less dur ing the day. "Whether it's writing or social media, you get so lost in what you' re doing, and the next thing you know it's midnight," said Had field. "My body was hurting more. I had less mobility in my joints and some weight gain." Hadfield started getting up ev ery 30 minutes or so to do a small chore. She also placed a board she bought for $15 at Home Depot can suppress production of an en acrossthe arms ofhertreadmill. zyme in the skeletal muscle called Her computer rests on the board.

Van der Ploeg's most recent study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that adultsage 45 and olderwho sat 11 or more hours per day had a 40 percent increased risk ofdying in the next three years compared with those who sat for less than four hours a day. Though the absolute risk of death was small for everyone, the study showed that "in people who do a similar amount of physical activity, those who sit less will have a lower risk of dying, com paredtothose who sitmore,"said van der Ploeg.

Headaches. Fatigue. Lack of alert ness. These are tell-tale signs of dehy dration — the excessive loss of fluids from the body. W e' ve heard itbefore.W ateristhe most abundant nutrient in our body. It's the primary ingredient in muscles, blood and other body cells. Without it, body processes become sluggish and inefficient. No doubt, lack of fluids can kill us much quicker than lack of food. Athletes have special fluid needs be cause ... they are athletes. For exam ple, I learned that well-trained athletes sweat more — not less — than the rest of us. Why? Because water iperspira tionl is what keeps these extremely active bodiesfrom overheating.Cool. Here are some hydration reminders from sports nutrition experts: Check your urine: If it's the color of straw orlemonade, you're appropriate ly hydrated, say experts. Dark or apple juice-colored urine signals dehydration, or the need for more fluids. Check your weight: Before you ex ercise. After you exercise. Performance suffers with as little as 2 percent loss of fluid. Restore every pound you lose during exercise with a pound or so i16 to 24 ounces) of fluid. Drink plain water before you exercise: It'sthe bestchoicefor m ost of ouractivitiesthatlastlessthan 90 minutes. Sip on about 4 ounces i'/2 cupl of fluid after about 15 to 20 minutes of exercise. If your workout goes beyond 90 minutes, add a sports drink that contains some carbohydrates isugarl plus electrolytes such as sodium and potassium.Good choicesforsports drinks, according to sports nutrition experts, arethose thatare moderate in calories iabout 50 to 70 calories per 8-ounce cupl, moderate in sodium inot more than 110 to 220 milligramsl, and high in potassium. BTW ... cold bever ages help cool the body and have been found to be betterabsorbed. Replenish energy stores and elec trolytes after intense exercise. Eating or drinking foods that contain protein AND carbohydrates within a half hour after vigorous exercise can store energy back into depleted muscles, say re searchers. Chocolate milk, for example, has been found to have the perfect ratioofcarbohydrates to protein for recoveryafter an activity thatlasts more than an hour. Pay attention to calcium and magnesium-rich foods. Muscle cramps can result when these minerals are low. Good sources of calcium and magne sium? Milk, yogurt, spinach, nuts and seeds, whole grain breads, cereals, crackers. Take it easy with protein drinks. Beverages loaded with extra protein can actually increase the risk for dehy dration. They are not recommended as fluid replacement drinks.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

Police look for thieves who took 500 canaries

DEAR ABBY: I'm a male who haspadu ated from high school and is about to start college in another state. I'm ready for a new challenge. Theonly thing holding me back is a romantic attraction I have toward one of my high school teachers. He and I arebest friends, but I love him more than as afriend. I have bought him many meals and gifts since hetaught me, and I have found every opportunity available

looking for two people they say stolemore than 500 canaries from the home of an 87-year old Florida man. Police say the men entered Manuel Sanchez's home on May 27 and took the birds. The next day, they sold the birds to at least three petshops. The canaries are valued at $30 each, which means the thefts were worth about

to be with him. I'm not sure if he's

aware of my feelings, although I wonder whether I unconsciously make myself obvious. Regard less, we have apeat relationship. It kills me inside to know I cannever bewith him. I have never told anyonehow I feel, and I know if I ever told him, it would destroy every thing we have. I can't forget about him. He's on my mind constantly. Having to leavehim soon is killing me. Do you haveany advice for me? — DREADING IT IN LOUISIANA DEAR DREADING IT: Yes. Goaway to college andopenyourselftonew experiences and relationships. Correspond with this special person, and whenyou return for school breaks, continue the friendship. Your feelings mayor may not be reciprocated, but it is important that youletsometime— years— elapsebefore trying to pursueanything closer with him. If you don't wait, it could be damaging to his career. DEAR ABBY: Last Saturday, two days before my 75th birthday, I did something very uncharacteristic of me. I went to a tattoo parlor

25 miles awayandhad a flower put on my right buttock. I don't intend to tell anyone. It was my

birthday present to myself. This was not aspur-of-the-moment impulse. I have told my husbandmany times that if I

Next wave in rescues: Remote-control 'lifeguards' WESTERLY, R.I. iAPl Think of a lifeguard and you might conjure up images of sunburned teenagers work ing a summer job. A new and relatively inexpensive lifesaving device could change that. Meet EMILY, a remote-con trolled lifeguard. It looks like a buoy, but it's a small watercraft fitted with a flotation device. It can go up to 22 mph and can get to people more quickly, and in some cases more safely, than any human. It's being used by a handful of communities. Last month, it

was used in its first rescue. "In the day and age of shrink ing budgets and the availability of personnel, this is just another thing we can use," said Joshua Williams, chief of the Depoe Bay Fire District in Oregon, which performed the rescue with it July 15. "It's proven itself by saving a father and a son. It's really all the proof that we need." EMILY stands for Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard. It's a little over 4 feet long, weighs 25 pounds and costs

dronalix, a Green Valley, Ariz., company established in 2009. If a swimmer is struggling, alif eguard or anyone else can put battery-powered EMILY in the water and, with a remote control, send it through even rough waves to help. Some loca tions attach an emergency radio so they can instruct panicked swimmers on what to do. EMILY can't bring swimmers back to shore, but it can keep them safe until rescuers get there,orbe attached to arope so rescuers can pull EMILY and about $10,000. It's made by Hy anyone holding on back in.

Air France: Outa as'? As assen ersto itc in PARIS iAPl — An emer gency layover in Syria's capital was bad enough. Then passengers on Air France Flight 562 were asked to open their wallets to check if they had enough cash to pay for more fuel.

The plane, heading from Paris to Lebanon's capital, diverted amid tensions near the Beirut airport on Wednesday. Low on fuel, it instead landed in Damascus, the capital of neighboring Syria, where a civil war is raging.

w EATHER AT A GLANGE BA K E R

An Air France spokesman explained Friday that the crew inquired about passen ger cash only as a "precau tionary measure" because of the "very unusual circum stances." Sanctions against Syria complicated payment for

extra fuel. He said Air France found a way to pay for the fill-up without tapping customer pockets — and apologized for the inconvenience. The airline had never resorted to such a request before, he sard.

C O U NTY FO R ECA ST

The plane took off for an overnight layover in Cyprus then landed safely in Beirut on Thursday. Lebanon is a volatile mix of pro- and anti-Syrian factions, and a seriesof hostage-takings has raised worries about Lebanon being

dragged deeper into Syria's unrest. Mobs supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad blocked the main airport highway in Beirut on Wednesday, before Lebanese military units moved in.

III-fitting bow can

wreak havoc with one's neck and shoulders A compound bow not properly fit for your arm length can lead to injuries. Ron Babcock, the co-owner of Alpine Archery in La Grande, with his wife, Michelle, wants hunters to be aware of this as the Aug. 25 opening of bow season for deer and elk nears. Babcocksaid thatw hen people use compound bows not fit for the length of their arms, they run the risk of hurting their neck and

shoulders. People with ill-fitting bows are often those who pur chased them secondhand and not at an archery shop. Babcock advises people who were not fitted for their com pound bow to go to an archery shop and make sure they have a proper fit. Babcock said places where one can have their bow properly fit in La Grande include Alpine Archery, the sporting goods section at Thatcher's Ace Hardware and Ben's Archery. — Dick Mason

the heat. This is particularly true of elk. Elk have a harder time dealing with heat because of their thicker hides. The problems presented by hot and arid weather should diminish significantly as the season, which runs through Sept. 23, progresses. This will increase hunters' odds off success. The deer and elk hunters will be harvesting should be in exceptional condition because they have had plenty of good forage in the spring and summer, Miguez said. Vegeta tion became available earlier than normal in the spring and still re mains abundant, which is unusual for mid-August. Miguez said that he has not re ceived any elk damage complaints from farmers and ranchers this summer. Normally by this time of year ranchers and farmers have started reporting elk coming on their land and eating their irrigated crops. The absence of complaints indi cates that elk have plenty to eat at higher elevations and are not com ing down to lower sites in search of food at farms and ranches. Miguez worries that this could change quickly if the hot, arid weather continues. SeeArchers / Fbge 5C

Archers have leg up on rifle hunters when

itcomes to tags Bowhunters in Oregon are more likely to have hunted deer and elk the year before than their counterparts who use firearms. This is the belief of Phil Gil lette of La Grande, a member of the Oregon Hunters Asso ciation, who is the manager of the sporting goods section of La Grande Ace Hardware. He explained that bowhunt ers are able to get general season tags every year to hunt where they want. Rifle hunters, by contrast, face frustration because all hunts are controlled, limiting the number of tags available for each unit. This means rifle hunters may have to wait years before getting a tag for the unit they want. Some may not hunt at all in the interim. Bowhunters, by contrast, are more likely to hunt every year because it is easier to get tags to hunt wherever they want. — Dick Mason

Hunters: Leave note about where you are going By Don lier The Observer

It's every person's worst nightmare. Alone, in the woods, lost, with wolves howling in the distance, darkness coming and dropping temperatures making hypothermia a possibility. While hunters in Northeast Oregon can count on the sherifFs search and rescue teams to do everything in their power to find a lostperson,therearea few steps that can be taken to prevent getting lost or help out searchers when it does happen. "Know what your limits are, be aware of what's around you and your ability," said Mike Hansen, Wallowa County Sheriff Search and Rescue. "Hunters will get really fo cused on game and next thing they know it's dark and they get lost." Knowing where you' re going,

bringing a map and compass — and knowing how to use them — and a GPS device can help prevent getting lost. But if it does happen, thereare a few stepsexpertsrecom mend taking if you find yourself lost in the woods. "Tell someone where you' re going. It often doesn't happen," said J.B. Brock, Search and Rescue coordina tor for the Union County Sheriff. "Be detailed. It gives us a place to start and expedites finding some one." Before you go, leave a note with as many details about where you are going and when you plan to returnso that a friend or loved one knows to call when you don' t come back. Being as specific as you can on where you will be helps to narrow the search area for rescuers. "Leaving a note on a dashboard, or filling out a permit if using a

trailhead helps," Hansen said. "Also you can leave someone with an impression of the boots you' ll be wearing if you' re worried about getting lost." To make a boot impression, Han sen recommends taking a piece of aluminum foil and stepping onto it with the boot on the carpet. When someone realizes he is lost, it is recommended that he stops moving, sit down and try to calm himself. Once the lost person is calm, he should start to think rationally and come up with a plan to re-orient himself. The worst thing he can do is to panic and continue to move and get further lost. Depending on the person' s experience level, the weather and the situation determines what they should do from there. It may be best just to stay there, or it might help to climb up in elevation in SeeSearch/ Fbge6C

The good news for archery hunters in Baker County is that the deer and elk populations are relatively robust. The bad news is you' ll have to go find them. Which is not to imply that big bucks and bulls ever routinely stroll into camp and wait pa tiently while you fumble around nocking an arrow. But unless the weather changes dramatically before the month-long season starts on Aug. 25, bowhunters might have to do a little more digging, so to speak, to find a target. With hot and dry conditions predominating since mid-July, hunters would do well to choose eitheroftw ostrategies,said Brian Ratliff, a wildlife biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Baker City office. 'You can either go high, and follow the animals there, or look for a cool, wet area such as a north slope," Ratliff said. "The animals are going to be tied to water, and they' re not going to be out in the open much during the day if it stays hot." While counting upland game birds earlier this month, Ratliff noticed that even chukars, which aren't much affected by heat, were seeking the shelter of sagebrush by around 8 a.m. These conditions aren' t exactly unprecedented, of course — except for the last few days, the general archery season always is confined to summer. And savvy ior, sometimes, lucky) hunters can turn the weather to their advantage. With water scarce, a hunter who sets up a stand near a reliable water source hasdecent odds of getting a shot. In a more damp year, animals tend tobe scattered and, thus, more difficult to find. As for the animals them selves, elk arefaring abitbetter than mule deer, Ratliff said. "I'm not worried about them at all, "he said."There are no big changes from last year." He reminds archers that the bag limit is any elk in the Pine Creek, South Sumpter and Lookout Mountain units, but archers can shoot bulls only in the Keating and North Sumpter unit, as well as in the adjacent Desolation unit. M ule deer numbers, and in particular buck populations, have been declining over the past few years. In response, ODFW cut the number of rifle season tags from 1,800 to 1,700 in 2011, and then down to 1,600 for this year. One bright spot, though, is the increasing population of white tail deer, especially along the western edge of Baker Valley and in the Pine Valley in eastern Baker County. aWe'restarting to seem ore harvest of white-tails," Ratliff said. Compared with mule deer, white-tails are homebodies some bucks spend most of their lives in an area no more than a square mile. However, much of the best white-tail habitat is private property, so as always hunters shouldnever go ontoprivate land without permission.

Until some genius designs a freezer that's powered by solar panels and so light you can haul it around in a backpack, early season hunters will continue to face a challenge. How to keep big chunks of fresh meat cool when the temperature is in the 80s or 90s. We are, of course, accus tomed to thinking of meat as something that must be kept refrigerated, almost constantly, lestitbreed bacteria which play unpleas anttricks on ourdigestive systems. (And make our steaks taste funky besides.) But in reality, a modicum of common sense will pay largedividends for hunters who perish the thought of wasting a single morsel of venison, said Del Woodcock of Baker County Custom Meats. The best advice, he said, is also the simplest: don' t dawdle. Once the animal is down, get right to work with the field dressing. Removing the innards and propping open the chest cavity will allow the residual heat to dissipate. Woodcock thinks a relatively common problem among hunters — though perhaps not a surprising one — is that they head out into the woods without truly

will handle the latter task. Although daytime temperatures during the ar chery season can exceed 80 degrees, even in the moun tains, temperatures at night usually dip below 50. In those conditions a skinned carcass will cool nicely overnight, Woodcock said. However, if you can't haul all the meat back to town the next day, he said it' s importanttocoverthe part that's still hanging before the day warms much. He recommends for the purpose a sleeping bag those thin game bags will keep the flies off but they have no insulating proper ties.

HUNTING 2012

ODFWhuntforecast lookspromising The Oregon Department of Fish and Game has released the following hunting fore cast for the 2012 seasons. BAKER DISTRICT: Sumpter, Keating, Pine Creek, Lookout Mountain wildlife management units DEER Over-winter survival was better than average due to the light winter. Buck ratios arestillator above manage m ent objec tives.Overalldeer numbers are still down Rom the hard winter of 2010. The body condition of animals should be excellent with the above average spring and early summer rains. ELK Elk herds in Baker County came out of the winter in good shape with large healthy calves. Bull ratios are at or near management objective for all units. Calf ra tiosareaverage throughout the units, with the high being in the Sumpter Unit. For the best chance at tagging an elk, get as far away Rom roads as possible, perhaps by hunt ing inone ofthecooperative Travel Management Areas.

UNION DISTRICT: Starkey, Catherine Creek, East Mount Emily, portions of SledSprings,and Wenaha wildlife management units DEER Deer in Union County survived the winter reason ably well this year. It's likely to be a good year for hunter success. Deer appear to be in excellent physical condition due to high quality forage produced by a very wet spring. Buck ratios are up slightly in Starkey, about the same in Catherine Creek and down slightly in East Mt. Emily. Fawn survival through the winter was 77 percent or higher in the units men tioned above. The Catherine Creek unit continues to be well under our target population objective; East Mt. Emily and Starkey are at or above population target levels. Buck ratios 4ucks per 100 does) are 17 in the Starkey, 16 in Catherine Creek and 12 in East Mt. Emily Hunt units. 2011 hunter harvest statistics: Rifle buck/archery hunter harvest and success rates were 302 deer and 35 percent in Catherine Creek, 285 deer and 19 percent in Starkey, and 393 deer and 31 percent in Mount Emily.

Catherine Creek unit hunter success should be up due to a slightly elevated population. Prospects for the East Mount Emily unit are expected to be betterthan average due to an increase in calf survival and bull ratios. Elk in the Starkey and Catherine Creek units came through the winter in relatively good condition. Starkey is just below popula tion management objective and Catherine Creek is well above the objective. Bull ra

deer populations well below m anagementobjectivelevels. We have had great spring and summer weather, with good moisture producing an abundance of forage, so deer will be entering the fall in good body condition. Hunt ers can expect to see fewer yearling bucks this year, but adult buck ratios have remained stable in all units. There should still be opportu nityforolderageclassbucks for hunters willing to spend the time and effort.

HUNTING 2012

Hunters need to prepare physically for challenges of hunt By Casey Kellas

good day of hunting into a

The Observer

painfully bad day.

With hunting season right around the corner, hunters of all ages are busy preparing for that first big hunt of the year. But one thing that often goes overlooked, something that is just as important as sighting in your rifle or scouting out an area, is your physical fitness level. Not being in the proper shape can turn a possibly

Pulls, strains and the like are pretty common during hunting season. But they can be easily avoidable with a little work during the months leading up to the hunt. Ron Babcock, a physical therapist at Mountain Val ley Therapy in La Grande, suggests working on core strength and increasing your aerobic capacity well

in advance of hunting season. "Something I would sug gest is, first thing in the morning do some push-ups or squats. Some arm circles. Anything to get your heart rateup and togetblood flowing in your extremities," Babcock said. Babcock also suggested spending time walking or jogging on gravel roads and uneven surfaces, anything that will prepare your body

for the terrain you will face in the field. Babcock, a hunter himself, said he shoots year round and takespart in trailshoots. He also added that Moun tain Valley Therapy has trainerson stafFthatcould help you get in the proper shape required to trek the

hillside And if you'renotthe gym going type, there are plenty of ways to get a good workout around the house that will

work specific muscles you will use on your hunt. "Chopping wood is a great core workout," Babcock said. "Anything that involves pulling. Even rolling a tire through your yard works the core. You just need a little imagination." But evenifyou have paid close attention to your fit ness level and think you' re in the right shape, doing something first thing on the morning of the hunt is

just as important. "Strains are most likely to happen in the cold. Some general stretches are good. Just a light warm-up," Bab cock said. So don't let that trophy bull get away because you spent too much time on the couch during the summer. Doing a little extra in the ofF months could pay off in a big way down the road. Literally.
