0 SHI • Environmental groups to sue Oregon over wolf protections

By Pat Caldwell ForThe Observer

Three environmental groups served notice Wednesday that they intend to dispute a recent decision to delist wolves in Oregon by taking the matter to the Oregon CourtofAppeals forreview.

Cascadia Wildlands, Oregon Wild and the Center for Biological Diversity filed the legal challenge to the decision made by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission Nov. 9 to remove the gray wolf from the state's endangeredspecieslist.

The decision secured high-profile attention from environmentalists, livestock producers and others, and attractedmore than 100 people — many whom delivered testimony for or against the move — to the commission meeting Nov. 9. The commission approved the move to delis tthewolves by a 4-2 vote. But while many conservationists decried the decision some officials said nothing significant has changed regarding wolf management.

"It isn't as if the delisting rolls back the clock 100years and you are able to shoot a wolf on sight," Union County Commissioner Mark Davidson said in November.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Michelle Dennehy said at the time of the commission's decision, the animals would still be tightly regulated.

"I think it is important to note it is not like wolves are goingtobecome like coyotes.

They are still very tightly regulated," Dennehy said.

Though no longer listed under the state's ESA mandate, the animals are still viewed as a"special status game animal" and remain under protections set out in the Oregon Wolf Management Plan. Under the delisting decision, no additional "take" of wolves is allowed.

According to ODFW, as of July 2015 there were 16 known packs or groups of wolves in Oregon. Of See Lawsuit / Page5A

Baker Coun commissioners, BLM talk about B2H power line proposal

By Joshua Dillen

environmentally preferred routes that are on the maps might change as BLM, the lead federal agency on the B2H proposal, gather comments from elected officials in counties along the proposedroute,asw ellasstate and otherfederalagencies.

"It's called 'preliminary' because things change," Gonzalez said."And they can change frequentlya Gonzalez said it's not fair to landowners to publish maps online that are likely to change.

"Peopleare going to get confused and I don't want them working off the wrong one," Gonzalez said.

There will be several new versions of the route maps as new information is received from the diferent cooperating agencies.

Moreover, BLM's preliminarypreferred route is diferent from Idaho Power's proposed path.

The BLM's route would put the power line west of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, near the route

li er Theatre la esignlights ug owntown

By Dick Mason The Observer

Online

The past became the present late Thursday afternoon in downtown La Grande.

The city's pre-evening twilight was brightened like it has not been for 70 years when the lights of the Liberty Theatre's new blade sign, a replica of its original, were switched on. The approximately 25-foot high sign became a beacon of illumination following a ceremony attendedby close to 30 people.

Theodore Smith, a kindergarten student at Willow Elementary School, had the honor of turning on the sign's lights after winning a drawing. Once the lights came on cheersand applause followed.

Those applauding included Tom Dimond of Cove.

'This is beyond nostalgia. It is like going back in time. It is a real gift,a Dimond said soon after the lighting ceremony.

La Grande business owner John Howard was equally impressed.

"It is huge for the downtown. It is another step for the progress of downtown," Howard said.

Dale Mammen, the chairman of the Liberty Theatre Foundation, did not see the lights come on because he was inside throwing a switch which allowed the sign to receive its power. Mammen, who has led the effort to restore the Liberty Theatre for at least six years, knew what to expect when he came outside. Yet he still felt a jolt.

"It was an'oh, wow,'moment," Mammen said.

The new sign is a replica of the blade sign the Liberty Theatre had from the early 1930s until 1946 when it was replaced. The theater had a marquee sign from 1946 until its closure in 1959.

BAKER CITY — "The bestwe can seeisa tolerable route."

That's what Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett said about Idaho Power's Boardmanto-Hemingway power line, which might become part of the county's landscape several years in the future.

On Wednesday, the county commissioners met with Idaho Power officials, BLM Vale District Manager Don Gonzalez, and the owners ofland across which the 500-kilovolt transmission line might run.

The meeting was designed to give county officials more information about the BLM's environmentally preferred route for the B2H line, which was shown on maps uploaded to the B2H website last month.

And then they were taken down.

Gonzalez explained why that happened.

He said the preliminary

Carlson Sign Co. of Bend, was raised through donations and grants to the Liberty Theatre Foundation.

The Liberty Foundation choseto havea replica ofa blade sign made because this is the type of sign many downtown businesses had eight decades ago when La Grande's downtown was at its peakin terms ofbusiness activity.

"It was an era of vitality," Mammen said.

The new sign also symbolizesthe major progress being made in making the Liberty Theatre into a performing arts center. aWe are transforming a tired, sleepy lady into a live person. We want to make this the living room of La Grande, Union County and all Eastern Oregon," Mammen said.

Mammen said he is excited by the help the Liberty Theatre project is receiving from many local people in their 20s and 30s.

"The best thing is that we are doing it with the help from the next generation. It is exhilarating," Mammen said.

The sign needs 87 percent less electricity than what the original Liberty blade sign neededtooperate because it is illuminated by energy efficient LEDs, Mammen said.

A light sensor will later be installed, allowing the sign's lights to come on automatically when it gets dark and to go off when daylight hits.

The signis anindication that the Liberly Theatreis on the road to gaining a permanent placein the community.

"Fifty years from now it is still going to be used," Mammen said.

tallypreferred routes have changed since the draft environmental impact statement was released in late 2014.

"Based on the comments and questions that came out of it, we have new variations that we're evaluating now," he said.'That shows you how important it is to make comments. And it can influence what ends up happening."

New comments provided to the county that are found to have a significant effect on the routing would be reflected in ongoing changes to the maps until the final environmental impact statement is published.

Gonzalez said the BLM is givingcooperating agencies, including Baker County, until Jan. 22 to comment on the project. That deadline was set after Oregon's U.S. Senators, Ron Wyden and JeffMerkley,urged theBLM togiveagenciesmore time.

He said the review process originally was going to end on Jan. 8.

Gonzalez said the latest m aps are intended for agency officials to review and share information with landowners. Any new issues found — thathave notbeen already substantively commented on during past public comment periods — can be submitted to county officials, who will provide them to project officials at the next cooperationmeeting.

'The cooperators get to consistently work with us (andl provide information that they get from their constituents and fiIIm themselves," he said."And that's why we want to make sure they have the mostrecent maps and the info that we have each time something changes."

The ceremony Thursday contained all the hallmarks of a celebration and that is as it should be.

That's because the ceremony wasn't just about a new sign but really about what a group of dedicated local people can do and the diference that can be made through the effort of getting involved.

The historic blade sign of the Liberty Theatre is emblematic of the hard work of committed individuals but it should also represent what the future can be for La Grande. That future can possibly include many dedicated individuals involved in restoration projects or planning for future expansion and seeking methods to enhance, rather than detract, from our community.

The Liberty Theatre sign is also a symbol of the significance of the past and the ways available to leverage that past into a viable future.

A vibrant downtown can't just be a loky concept that sounds good. It must be — for city appointed and elected oKcials — a constant goal. Deliberate, prudent methods to encourage small businessincluding restoration projects — should secure more than verbal support from elected leaders. Widesweeping, swing-for-the-fence projects are always pleasant and welcome in small rural communities but they prove, upon execution, to be rare.

The Liberty Theatre restoration project, then, is about far more than just a group of people who decidedtorestore an old business.In a sense,their effort represents a clear road to the future and indicates when ordinary people get involved in their community, good things can happen. Getting involved can bea challenge.A llofus are busy.Yetgiving back to the community, whether it is helping in a project like the Liberty Theatre restoration project or helping at the local food bank pays dividends not only for the individual doing the work but for countless others.

In the end, the Liberty Theater project symbolizes what can be done to enhance our downtown. And enhancing our downtown core is a critical piece toward the future. Fortunately, a group like the Liberty Theatre Foundation illustrated that it is possible to find a worthy project, secure funds to make it happen and work to see the project, such as the blade sign, through to the end.

The individuals involved in the theater project deserve praise.

LAWSUIT

TAX Continued from Page1A Monday because oflegislation passed in 2014. The tax will apply to the actual recreational marijuana product sold plus seeds,leaves and non-flowering plants.

Medical marijuana dispensaries will have to collect this tax only if they also sell marijuanaforrecreational purposes. The new tax will not apply to Highway 30 Cannabis and Eagle Cap Dispensary because both dispensaries only sell medicinal marijuana. ''We are in the medical category, nottherecreational category," Durning said.

People must have a prescription from a physician to purchase marijuana from a medical dispensary.

The sale of marijuana forrecreational purposesis prohibited in La Grande because its city council adopted an ordinance opting out of Measure 91 in the fall.

Measure 91 is the measure voters approved in 2014 legalizing the sale and production of marijuana

Continued from Page1A thoseat least13reproduced during the summer. In 2014, the estimated number of wolves in Oregon stood at 81.

The state failed to complete several key steps when it decided to delist the wolves, claims Nick Cady of Cascadia Wildlands. The state did not use proper peer-reviewed data nor did it utilize the best existing scientific evidence in its decision, he contends.

'The third is that wolves are not recovered throughout a significant portion of their range in Oregon," Cady said.

ODFW maintains it properly followed statutory and legal criteria in its process to recommend the delisting.

Whether ODFW or the Commission held the authority to make the decision isn't the point, according to Rob Klavins of Oregon Wild.

"No one questions that the state didn't have the authority," he said.'We are just saying the law says when the state delists, they have to consider thebestavailablescience,and it requires a peer review. At the end of the day, they didn't."

ODFW said its scientific review was based on verifiable information and that itdiduse a peer-reviewed population viability model in its recommendation to delist the wolves. The commission's decision, according to ODFW, revolvedaround fi ve key factors, including: the expanding range of the animals in Oregon; the growth of the wolf population; the solidity of the animal's habit; and the factthat the overuse ofthe wolves is not likely to occur and that the protections under the state's Wolf Management Plan are suitable, even without a state ESA listing.

Klavins said it appeared from the start that ODFW had no intention ofholding wolves under the state ESA umbrella.

"It seems like from the getgo the agency had no interest in maintaining protections," he said.

While Klavins conceded wolf restoration was moving forward,he said the decision to delist the animals was made too early. ''We are on the right track," he said."But what is concern-

The reality is wolves have not recovered.

Wolves are still extinct in 90 percentoftheirrange."

John OKeefe, presidentofthe Oregon Cattlemen'sAssociation, said the decision to delist the wolves was therightone.

"I think the decision ito delist the wolves) was entirelyappropriate.W olves are doing well," he said.

Todd Nash, a Wallowa County ranchers and chairman of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association's wolf committee, said he wasn't surprised by the suit.

"This is exactly where we predicted we were going to be," Nash said.'This is what Nick Cady told the House ofRepresentati ves last April. We hope that we can implement this rule into law through legislation so we don't have endless lawsuits on endangered species act."

Susan Roberts, a Wallowa County Commissioner who heads the county's compensation committee that distributes money to ranchers who lose livestock to wolves, reached a similar conclusion.

"All of us that follow the wolf plan were expecting some cooperation from the environmentalists," Roberts said."People on the ground aredoing theirvery best.

When we got to the point to be abletom ove forward and work together, itappears that is not going to happen."

Cady said with about 80 wolves in the wild, the species cannot be considered recovered. He also said the animal is not prosperous in Western Oregon. Cady said a few weeksbefore the decision on the delisting, his organization found the peer review requirement. ''We informed the state of this requirement. They did not do that. They tried to cheat it through. That was pretty infuriating," he said.

La Grande is among the citiesthathad theoption of banning the sale and production of marijuana under House Bill 3400, which was passedearlierthisyear.Cities had the option in 2015 of optingout via votesoftheir councils, if they were in a county in which at least 55 percentofthose voting cast ballotsagainst Measure 91 in 2014.

Approximately 59 percent of Union County voters opposed Measure 91, while 51.9 percent of La Grande votersrejected Measure 91 in 2014.

Rosenbaum agreed that the railroad depot'sconstruction was important symbolically.

"It meant we had arrived as an important railroad center," Rosenbaum said.

The rail road depotis not the oldest building in La Grande, but few, if any, structures have a more important place in the city's history or its connections to it. The depot, for example, is where people waited for the arrival of many famous dignitaries who stopped in La Grande during the heyday of passenger train service.

These included President Franklin Roosevelt, who stopped in La Grande just past midnight on Sept.

27, 1937, with First Lady Eleanor, according to The Observer archives. FDR was asleep but Eleanor came out and talked to a small crowd.

On May 11, 1950, President Harry Truman spoke from the platform of a train to a crowd of 4,000 to 5,000 during an afternoon stop in La Grande. Today, that remains the only time a sitting U.S. President made an address in La Grande.

Beyond the occasional appearanceofdignitaries and celebri ties,thedepot for decades was a hub of activity. Six passenger trains stopped daily to unload and pick up passengers.

Anyone walking into the depot's lobby six decades ago — when the building was buzzing with passengerswould have seen a woman operating a vending stand.

"She sold magazines and snacks at her stand for years," said John Turner, who has written and publishedseveralbooks about La Grande's history.

The passenger trains that stopped in La Grande transportedmore than people.

Each daily train had at least one mail car.U.S. Postal Service workers sorted all the mail they picked up at stops in these cars.

"These cars were post offices on wheels," said Larry Vermillion of La Grande, a former Union Pacific employee.

The new La Grande depot became a town square of sorts, with lawns and landscaping installed not long atter opening, Rosenbaum said. Red cedar, sycamore, birch and Hawthorn trees were planted and Boston and English ivy shrouded the building.

"It was a park-like setting," Rosenbaum said.

The ivy and lawn enhanced the structure, which was designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, one of the mostrespected architectsofhisera.

"Underwood's elegant western design gave La Grande aprominent public center," Rosenbaum said. "This is a major piece of architecturedesigned by a world-renowned architect."

"Penny was always making people laugh," Ellison said."She was always the light in the room."

Kahut agreed.

"I will always remember the kindness and the love she always had," she said."I will truly miss 4erl friendship and all the great times we had together."

Ellison said Penny and Clayton lived just down the road from the scene of the accident. A memorial service for all threewilltake place at6 p.m .thisevening at the accident scene. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Ellison has put jars for donations around the area for anyone who wishes to donate toward the funeral costs. The GoFundMe account is located at www.

At the museum coffee shop, where walls are splashed with Murakami flowers and his balloon figures hang from the ceiling, visitors enjoy a selection of cakes and omelets in flower shapes.

At the entrance stands a striking life-size likeness of Murakami, with rolling eyes and moving lips — except the top face is peeling offto reveal yetanother face— an eerie reminder that art, like life and truth, can be illusory.

But Murakami insists neither time nor fame has changed him as an artist.

He grew up poor, he said. Japan was in a perpetual identity crisis, having just been defeated in World War II. A graduate of the prestigious Tokyo University of the Arts, he went on to invent his approachand named itSuperflat— a take on that unique sense of perspective and emphasis of clear outlines that woodblock printers like Hokusai invented.

"Superflat has not changed at all," he sald.

Murakami has won both praise and criticism for his unabashed commercialism, starting his own brand Kaikai Kiki Co., which sells not just the usual postcards and art books, but also mugs, cushions, cellphone cases and T-shirts emblazoned with his designs, as well as figures and dolls.

In his typically defiance, Murakami recommends exhibit viewers keep their serious spiritualit y to about 30 percent oftheir energy, and revel in tourism, splurging and fun for the rest.

"Our defensive pressure in the full court, that defines who we are," Powder Valley head coach Michael Lieuallen said."It gets things started with the offense. I think we did well at that."

Buoyed by a pair of big runs in the first half,

including a 17-0 streak that spanned the first and second quarters, the Badgers quickly distanced themselves from Adrian.

Powder Valley scored from everywhere, utilizing its inside game while also being effective and efficient from the midrange game and at the 3-point line.

The Badgers also scored a bevy of points in transition offforced turnovers from the pressure.

"Our full-court press was really working for us," McGinn said."A lot of teams can't get by our press."

With Eastern leading 12-4 early, Parrish hit two straight 3s in transition. After a Mountie free throw, Parrish's third trey of the quarter put Eastern ahead 22-15.

In the final minutes of the first, Moss and Kelsey Hill drained treys and Parrish hit two more, the final 3-pointer the Mounties' ninth of the frame, putting them up 34-22 at the end of the first quarter.

Northwest battled back, trimming Eastern's lead to 47-38 at halftime. An Eagles' 3-pointer early in the third quarter cut the deficit to 49-41, but Moss countered with her own triple to push the lead back to double-digits. Late in the third, the Eagles cut the lead back to nine, but Moss penetrated and found Parrish for another trey for a 62-50 advantage.

Too many turnovers against an aggressive Adrian full-courtpress resulted in Powder Valley suffering its first home loss of the season.

Samantha Kerns scored 16 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, but no other Badger scored more than five and Powder Valley committed 34 turnovers in a 36-32 loss to Adrian Wednesday in a nonleague game. aWeexpected that, 4utl we didn't handle it well," head coach Allen Bingham said of the Antelopes' press."Ithought itwas mid-third quarter before we really started handling it pretty well. We talked about how I think playing Adrian made us a better team if we learn from the mistakes."

Adrian didn't trail after Morgan Bayes knocked down a 3-pointer for a 15-13lead with 4:42 togoin the second quarter, and stretched the lead to as much as 31-22 on a layup

by Selina Villarreal with 2:20 left in the third. The Antelopes continually confounded Powder Valley with theirpressbyforcingbad passesor collecting steals.

But the Badgers hung amund.

Sami Sexton's layup late in the third quarter pulled Powder Valley within 31-28, and the defense allowed just five points in the fourth quarternone in the last 4:08.

Kernshita pairoffreethrows to draw her team within 36-32 with 1:50 to play, and the Badgers had opportunities to pull closer, but the rally stalled.

"I think it's just one that we can learn fiom and get better fmm,a Kerns said.

M egan Hufford added fi vepoints for the Badgers. Hallie Feik led Powder Valley with three steals while Hufford and Kerns each had two.

The Badgers i5-5 overall) resume nonleague play when they travel to Prairie City Saturday.

I'm proud of our guys."

luted air in the valleys.

The Register-Guard reported that the warning went into effect at 10 p.m. Wednesday and lasts through Monday.

Smoke from wood stoves and fireplaces can contribute to the pollution. Authorities say a long period of air stagnation in the EugeneSpringfi eld area could make air quality much worse and trigger a burning ban.

The Lane Regional Air Protection Agency is urging arearesidents to avoid using wood stoves and fireplaces until air quality improves.

PORTLAND — A federal judge Thursday ruled that Portland Mayor Charlie Hales violated a local activist's First Amendment rights for barring him from City Council meetings for months at atime and ordered the city to halt all prospective exclusions.

"Like judges in their courtrooms, Mayor Hales has the continuing ability to maintain decorum in council meetings" by ordering disruptive people to leave,' U.S. District Court Judge Michael H. Simon wrote in a 28-page ruling."Maintaining decorum does not, however, require prolonged and prospective exclusions from a forum intended for public discourse and debate."

Joe Walsh has had three lengthy exclusions from council meetings since September 2014 for yelling and interrupting the proceedings.

He filed the claim himself against the city of Portland and the mayor. He argued his case before Judge Simon in federal court on Dec. 21, going up against two deputy city attorneys.

6 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

DonalliTlumssavsclilicism of SillClintonisEielnile fair

By Jill Colvin and Ken Thomas

Presidential primary schedule The map shows which month each state and U.S. territory is havingits 20t6 US. presidential primary or caucus

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is reviving memories of Bill Clinton's affair with a White House intern and his turbulent interactions with black voters during South Carolina's 2008 primary as theex-president prepares to campaign for his wife in New Hampshire.

Trump'slatestbroadsides on the Clintons — a potential preview of a nasty, personal general election — could benefit both sides as they seek to energize voters leading into the first primary contests.

But they could pose a longterm risk for Trump, some observers warn.

"If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with histerrible record ofwomen abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!" Trump said Monday on Twitter to his nearly 5.5 million followers.

"Remember that Bill Clinton was brought in to help Hillary against Obama in 2008. He was terrible, failed badly, and was called a racist!" he added.

The attacks are the latest in an escalating feud between Trump and Hillary Clinton, who have been spending more time focused on each other as the first nominating contests draw nearer.

In a phone interview with NBC's 'Today Show" on Tuesday, Trump said his comments about Bill Clinton were "fair game" after Hillary Clinton accused him of having a"penchant for sexism."

WEEICLY FISHING REPORT

BASE CAMP TOM CLAYCOMB

NOTE • Year-round fishing for hatchery trout beginstoday.

Reviewing

Crimson Irace'slaser

GRANDE RONDE RIVER • Catch rates have been very good on the Grande Ronde over the last week.

However, some cold weather is in the forecast and may cause the river to ice up. All methods have been successful from fly-fishing to shrimp.

t

guess that I'm old school and slow to change. OK, there's no guessing about it. I am. I'm not always good at seeing how equipment in one realm can be used to cross over to another. But we see it every day in our own lives. For instance, Swabits made swabs for the medical community and crossed over and make some cool swabs for cleaning guns.

So with the above said, when Mike Faw with Crimson Trace contacted me about testing a Crimson Trace laser grip for my pistol, my first thought was, "Sure, I could do an article on equipping your home defense pistol with one." I periodically write an article or two on home defense guns and rounds.

Then it hit me Wow, I think they'd be great on my mountain pistol." My daughterand Iliketobackpack.It'snota lotof fun when a bear comes into your camp at night. One year we were going to backpack into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area. We got to the trailhead a little late, so instead of packing in the dark we threw up a tent at the trailhead and were going to hike in early the next morning.

About 1:30 in the morning she woke me up, whispering, "Daddy, something is rubbing against our tent." By the time I got on my glasses, grabbed a flashlight and my.44 mag, it was gone. A few days later, when we packed out, there was a sow and two cubs not 200 yards from the trailhead, so I can only assume thatit was them that had paid us the midnight visit.

Then one year I was on a September archery elk hunt by myself. I had barely gone to bed and I heard something two feet on the other side of my tent. The next morning there were some huge bear tracks coming up the trail to my camp.

And how many other times have animals come into my camp while I'm backpacking? Or wolves circled our camp and spooked the horses?

So withallofthe above said,after talking to Mike I automatically thought Ineeded toslap a laser grip on my.44 mag. If you have any kind ofan imagination at all then you can envision how impossible it is to see your sights in the middle of the night, much less be able to see a black bear or wolf when you have panic in the disco.

W ith CT, a you don'thave toworry about lining up your sights. They provide immediate targeting with a bright red or green laser beam when you hold your gun in a natural firing grip. This innovation, called Instinctive Activation, saves precious time when seconds count.

So if you install a CT, all you have to do is throw up your pistol and your hand will automatically activate the switch when you grip your pistol in your natural holding position. Then all you have to do is illuminate the area with your flashlight and putthe red doton theperpetrator.

Believe me, you aren't going to find a black sight in the dark anytime too fast.

Then another big application I see is tracking wounded animals. As you know, I love bear hunting. Ed Sweet and I used to take a lot of kids bear hunting for his TV show, "Kid Outdoors." So who do you think got nominated to crawl into the brush on his hands and knees to track wounded bears? Little 12-year-old Junior or Uncle Tom? We'd take the kids hunting in the spring so most of our bear hunting was after SeeClaycomblPage 2C

IMNAHA RIVER • Anglers are still reporting successful days on the Imnaha.

The recent bump in flows likely pulled a few fish up from the Snake River, which will be available to anglers. While catch rates have slowed, the Imnaha will likely produce for the rest of the season.

WALLOWA RIVER • Steelhead season is open on the Wallowa River and anglers are picking up a few fish. Winter fishing between Minam and the mouth at Rondowa can be very good for anglers willing to walk.

• The Wallowa is also a whitefish factory and can produce some large fish. Whitefish are native to Oregon and are a respected sportfish across the West. Whitefish can be great in the smoker and are a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing.

WALLOWA LAKE • Some holdover trout wilI still be available for the hardy trout fishermen willing to brave the cold weather. Kokanee can also be caught by jigging deep during the winter months. The lake does not reliably freeze every year.

However, when the lake does freeze, ice fishing can produce good catch rates for trout and kokanee.

JOHN DAY RIVER • Steelhead fishing is fair with fish being caught on the lower river below Cottonwood Canyon State Park. Several new summer steelhead have been detected moving past McDonald Ford into the lower river.

Derek Harmon, right, lead trainer at MountainValley Fitness and Health in La Grande, guides Cove resident Shayla Hewitt through a deadlift workoutTuesday. Harmon said the gym sees an increase of about 100 new customers from Thanksgiving to early January before the newcomers begin to dwindle off.

By Lisa Britton, ForWescom News Service

s the new year dawns, many people have thebest intention to strivefor a healthier life Gymmembership numbers are proof Derek Harmon, the lead trainer at Mountain Valley Fitness and Health in La Grande, said the New Year's resolution rush runs from Thanksgiving into the first few weeks of January. eWe see an increase of up to 100 new members," he said.

However, not many New Year's resolutions turn out as intended — Harmon estimates that just 10 percent to 20 percent of new clients continue their regimen past the first few months of the new year.

But there's more at stake than just a broken resolution.

The American HeartAssociation recommends adults putin 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, or75 minutesperweek ofrigorous exercise, to help reduce the risk ofheart attack and stroke.

In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest adding two or more days of muscle-strengthening exercises each week to work all major muscle groups.

And if you'd rather be out in the fresh airjust think of gym time as preparing you for head-

ing outdoors to ski or snowboard now, and to hike later in the year.

"All of those activities are quite high impact," said Corey Jonas, fitness center director for the Baker County YMCA in Baker City.

One way to prepare, he said, could be joining a Zumba class.

'Your body gets used to the jolt, and your heart rateiselevated foran hour, "he said.

Also, anything that challenges balance is a bonus.

EASTERN OREGON

By Zach Umess

The Statesman Journal

MITCHELL — Walking atop Sutton Mountain feels a bit like entering a pocket of Alrican savanna perched high above the Oregon desert.

W aves of grassland spread acrossa wide plateau spotted with gnarled juniper trees.

A gigantic sky — cobalt blue in one half and dark with incoming rain in the other — hangs over a landscape where antelope roam andpygmy rabbitsbound.

"I came up here for the first time in second grade, and it has always been this wild, special place," said Chris Perry, a Wheeler County judge who grew up in nearby Mitchell."It's one of those places with a natural isolation and feeling of wilderness, even thoughit' spretty accessiblefrom the road."

Sutton Mountain is a long, 29,000-acre fault block that rises just above the Painted Hills, a popular tourist destination in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

In the past year, the two landmarks have become the center for one of the most interesting public lands proposals in Oregon.

A bill introduced by Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley last May would establish a 58,000acre federal wilderness on Sutton Mountain and around the Painted Hills, creating what supporterscallone largerecreation-rich destination.

The idea is getting tourists who visit the Painted Hills — over 70,000 people in 2015 — to extend their stay by exploring a new wilderness on Sutton Mountain.

'The Painted Hills are a greatintroduction to this epic landscape — a small area where you can drive in, take a few short hikes and be done in one afternoon," said Ben Gordon, stewardship director for the Bend-based Oregon Natural DesertAssociation."Sutton Mountain wouldprovidethatlarger,wilderexperience."

The proposal isn't just about conservation.

The bill includes conveyance of 2,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management property to Wheeler County for economic development. That's a big reason the Wheeler County Board of Commissioners and Mitchell City Council endorsed the wilderness proposal — not something that often happens in rural communities.

'There'spotentialforthisdealto breathe some new life into our community," Perry said."Tourism has been growing more than ever before, and the land conveyance gives the community the tools to help itself."

open sweep of canyons and desert spread out below us. Sutton Mountain was classified as a wilderness study area in 1996 — another reason federal designation wouldn't be a huge leap — but it wasn't always so.

"I went to work for a rancher at an early age, back when this was still private land," Perry said."One of my first jobs was moving sheepand latercattle up here."

After a few miles of uphill travel — and a lit tle more than 1,000 feetofclim b — we reached the mountain's plateau.

It was quite a sight.

A widetable ofgrassland spread across the top, with canyons channeling down the sides. The sky was so large it held three different weather patterns at once: bright blue sunshine, puffy white cumulus and dark storm clouds that would eventually hit us with rain, wind and hail.

The most scenic part of the hike was along the long, sharp edge of the mountain, where clifFs drop thousands of feet onto the rolling landscape below.

'Timing was right' The ideaofcreating a wilderness area on Sutton Mountain has been around for overadecade,butany momentum had gone dormant whenGordon took thejob about 3-V2 years ago.

He embedded himself in the community, visiting the area twice a week and taking part in community meetings once a month. ''When I started goingout itol visit people, it becameplain thattherewasalittlesupportfor the wilderness, but there was a lotofmisinkrmation out there anditneeded more organization," Gordon said."Ijustkeptmeetingpeople."

Even so, Perry initially was against the idea of wilderness.

'There was nothingin it for the local public — the people who actually live next to the wilderness and aren'tjust visiting," he said."Ben worked very closely with the citizens, allowing some concessions and looking for ways to m ake it a win foreverybody.There' sa genuine sense that he cares about the community."

The idea gained momentum thanks to a few breakthroughs.

Perry suggested including the conveyance of 2,000 acres of BLM land known as the Golden Triangle to Wheeler County, for development into an RV park or another function that could bring in revenue.

The moment also coincided with the beginning of the"Seven Wonders of Oregon" tourism campaign, which included the Painted Hills. The publicity brought a 61 percent increase in visitors to the Painted Hills and provided an economic boon to Mitchell.

"It has been amazing for the townevery business has seen an increase," said Skeeter Reed, owner of the Oregon Hotel in Mitchell."The number of people staying at the hotel doubled this year, and they came from all over — Japan, China, Germany and the Philippines."

The goal of the wilderness proposal, Perry and Gordon said, is to build on the momentum.

"The timing was right," Perry said.

Onto SuttonMountain To understand how the Painted Hills and Sutton Mountain combination would work for an out-of-town tourist, I headed over the Cascade Range and into Eastern Oregon last November. I got a room at the Oregon Hotel in Mitchell — an adorable little town in the heart of the canyonlands, even if it has seen more prosperous days.

The first day was spent hiking the Painted Hills, a remarkable place to be sure, but alsoso smallit'seasy to see everything within a few hours.

The next morning I headed out to explore SuttonMountain with Perry and Gordon, the unique duo responsible for moving the wildernessproposalforward.

A mutual trust developed between the two that allowed for something rarely seen — a legitimate compromise between rural and more urban interests.

We got into Gordon's truck and headed around to the mountain's east side, the beginning of our cross-country trek, and set out from Carrol Rim Trailhead.

We followed an old road uphill as the wide-

A waiting game Even with community support, passage of what'sofficially called the Sutton Mountain and Painted Hills Area Preservation and Economic EnhancementActis far from certain.

A number of Oregon wilderness proposals are already languishing in Congress, and inaction could doom the goodwill built up by Gordon and the recent tourism to Wheeler County.

If a solo session on a treadmill isn't appealing, most gyms have various group classesoffered throughout the day.

Jonas said these can provide the accountability to show up, and often lead to friendships.

"Within a couple weeks, they have two or three great friends," he said.

Also, if you're new to the gym, it's OK to ask for help or guidance.

ALCOHOL: WHAT DOESTHE SCIENCE SAY?

By Tara Bannow WesCom News Service

ByAaron E. Carroll New YorkTimes News Service

Over the past year,I've tried to clear up a lot of the misconceptions on food and drink: about salt, artificial sweeteners, among others, even water.

Now let me take on alcohol: wine, beer and cocktails.

Although I have written aboutthe dangerous effects of alcohol abuse and misuse, that doesn't mean it's always bad. A part of many complex and delicious adult beverages, alcohol is linked to a number of health benefits in medical studies.

That doesn't mean the studiesprovide only good news, either, or that the evidence in its favor is a slam dunk. You won't be surprised to hear that, once again, my watchword — moderation-

Oregonians can get birth control without prescriptions The stat e'smost recent legislativesession saw the passage of a landmark bill allowing women to obtain contracepti ves from a pharmacistwithout a doctor's prescription starting Jan. 1, 2016. The law, which makes the medicati ons availabletowomen ages 18 and older, requires that they fill out a questionnaire about their medical history. In order to be certified to dispense the medications when the law takes effect Jan. 1, pharmacists must take a five-hour online training program offered through Oregon State University's College of Pharmacy.

Insurance plans will still cover the cost of the birth control as they currently do, but it's not clear how much pharmacies will charge insurers for the time they spend counseling patients about contraceptives or whether the insurers will pay for it.

Matthew Staver / New YorkTimes

Visitors drink at the Great Divide Brewing Company tap room in Denver, Colorado.

Abstaining from drinking alcohol is sound advice because of the dangers of abuse, but moderate consumption of alcohol is generally safe, and may even be healthful for many people.

applies.

Research into how alcohol consumption affects health has been going on for a long time.A 1990 prospective cohort study included results of more than 275,000 men followed since 1959. Compared with those who never drank alcohol, those who consumed one to two drinks a day had a significantly reduced annual risk of death from both coronary heart disease and "all causes."

Those who consumed three or more drinks a day still had a lower risk of death from coronaryheart disease but had a higher annual risk of deathoverall.

A 2004 study came to similar conclusions. It followed about 6,600 men and 8,000 women for five years and foundthatcompared with those who drank about one drink a day on average, those who didn't drink at all and those who drank more than two drinks a day had higherrates ofdeath.

Results like these have been consistent across a number of studies in different populations. Even studies published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research agree that moderate drinking seems tobeassociated w ith dec a reased risk of death overall.

However, alcohol seems to have dif ferent effectson differentdiseases.Almost allof the major benefits of drinking are seen in cardiovascular illnesses. In fact, with

SHOPPING Continued from Page6C St. Joseph Hoag Health's recent campaign is called "Shop with Your Doc" and is based at Ralphs supermarkets throughout Orange County.

Grocerystores are an ideal place to teach people that they can become healthier by making small dietary changes and eating in moderation, said Vanessa Rosales, community affairs manager for Ralphs & Food 4 Less. '%hat betterplaceto reach the public with that message," Rosales said.

She also said that the doctor and dietician help ease confusion for shoppers as they lry to make healthy

men, even consumption of a surprisingly large amount can seem protecti ve.

When it comes to cancer, the picture isn't as rosy. For instance, a 2007 study involving the Women's Health Study cohort found that increased alcohol consumption was associated with an increasedrisk ofbreast cancer.

More broadly, a 2014 systematicreview ofepidemiologic and experimental studies looking at alcohol and breast cancer found that the overall consensus is that each additional drink per day increases the relative risk icomparing the risk in two groups) ofbreast cancer by a statistically significant, but small, 2percent — although not the absolute risk.

A meta-analysis of colorectal cancer and alcohol found that heavy drinkers, not light or moderate drinkers, were at increased risk ofthe disease. No relationship is seenwith respect to bladder cancer or ovarian cancer.

A study that included all cancers found that light drinking was protective; m oderate drinking had no effect; and heavy drinking was detrimental.

M oderate alcoholconsumption has been found to beassociated with other benefits, though. A cohort of about6,000 people followed in Britain found that those who consumed alcohol at least once a week had significantly better cognitive

function in middle age than those who did not drink at all. This protective effect on cognition was seen in people who drank up to 30 drinks a week.

A 2004 systematic review found that moderate drinking was associated with up to 56percent lower rates of diabetes compared with nondrinkers. Heavy drinkers,though, had anincreased incidence of diabetes.

This is where savvy readers should be asking: What aboutrandomized controlled trials? After all, epidemiologicevidenceand associations only go so far; they cannot get us to causation.

Recently, in Annals of Internal Medicine, such a trial was published. Patients with well-controlled type 2 diabeteswere randomized to drink 150 milliliters of water, white wine or red wine with dinner for two years. The beverages were provided to patients free of charge. They were all placed on a Mediterranean diet with no calorie restric tions.

Researchers found that those who drank the wine, most notably red wine, had a reduction in cardiometabolic risk factors,or those forheart disease,diabetesor stroke. This was especially true in patients who had certain genotypes. Further, no one had any significant adverseeffectsfrom being randomized to drink the alcohol.

Synthesizing all this, there

seems to be a sizable amount ofevidence that moderate alcohol consumption is associatedwith decreased rates ofcardiovasculardisease, diabetes and death. It also seems tobe associated with increased rates, perhaps to a lesser extent, of some cancers,especiall y breastcancer, as well as some other diseases or conditions. The gainsfrom improved cardiovasculardisease deaths seem to outweigh all of the lossesin other diseases combined. The most recent report of the USDA Scientific Advisory Panel agrees with that assessment.

But alcohol isn't harmless. Many people with certaindiseases ordisorders, and women who are pregnant,need to avoid it.

Others who can't keep their consumption to acceptable levels need to abstain. Alcohol is very harmful when abused, so much so that it's difficult for me to tell people to start drinking for their health. That's rarely the conclusion of any studies about alcohol, no matter how positive the results.

choices."I tcan be pretty intimidating to someone who may not know how to read those labels," Rosales said.

The shoppers didn't have to be St. Joseph's patients to get guidance from physicians as they fill up their shopping carts. Cecchini and a hospital nutritionist stood next to the pharmacy behind a table answering questions. One woman said she wanted to sweeten her tea and coffee and asked about the best substitute for sugar. A man said he was a vegetarian and took medication daily but that his cholesterol was still too high.

"Sounds like you are doing everything right," Cecchini told him."Just don't give up the exercise."

Shoppers also received a &ee bag with measuring cups and a card with tips for navigatingthe grocery store: Choose foods with more fiber and less sugar. Use fish as a main ingredient instead of meat. Aim for a rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables.

As Tamura and Cecchini pushed her cart through the store, she grabbed a few fruits, including apples and pears. Then they stopped in front of the bread aisle. She picked up a loaf of country potatobread and they looked at the label together. Tamura said she didn't realize that the bread had so much sodium. And that's before you add salted butterand garlic, he said.

Cecchini encouraged her to

keep an eye on sodium levels in future shopping trips. But he also assured her that it's okay to make exceptions. aYou have to satisfy the mind and heart as well as your stomach," he said.

Tamura has high blood pressure and high cholesterol and knows she needs to watch her diet. Shopping with the doctor was a reminder that one way to do that is by reading labels more carefully.

For that night, though, Tamura said she was sticking with her plans for spaghettiand garlicbread.

"Sounds like you have a nice dinner planned," he said, laughing.'%hen do we get to come over?"

lens of public service."Frankly we as a profession have not been vocal enough in championing the message of the benefits of full vaccination," he said.

But Michelle Meyer, director of bioethics policy at Union Graduate College-Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, said turning away familieswho refuse tovaccinate is misguided.

"I'm very skeptical that firing patients, which is an extreme and shaming act that amounts to patient abandonment, is going to have a positiveimpact,"Meyer said.

No published studies have examined the impact that a policy of dismissing families has on uptake of vaccines or on thespread ofvaccine-preventable diseases, O'Leary said.

More technology, streaming options in fitness In 2016, expect to see even more technology used to measure body composition, aerobic capacity, intermuscular glycogen storage and more. The American Council on Exercise believes that will be among the top 10 fitness trends of 2016. ACE also believes peoples' busy schedules will boost demand for online, video-on-demand streaming services like Daily Burn, which will increase offerings next year. Also in 2016, expect to see more public-private partnerships promoting physical activity, more faithbased fitness and nutrition programs and group classes that combine several workouts, such as cycling, boxing and treadmill running. ACE also predicts experiencesnot just workouts — will become the norm.

Higher penalties for not having insurance The penalty for not having health insurance is going up in2016. It'scalculated eitherasa percentage of household income or per person, whichever is greater. In 2016, that will be either 2.5 percent of household income — capped at the total annual premium for the average price of a bronze plan sold through HealthCare.gov — or

$695perperson — capped ata m aximum of$2,085.For children under 18, the penalty is $347.50. In 2015, the penalty was 2 percent of annual income isame param-

eters forthecaplor$325 peradultand $162.50 perchild imaximum: $975l. Penalties were far lower in 2014. That year, they were 1 percent ofhousehold income or $95 per adult.

Minimum wage and overtime pay for home health workers Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, the base pay will increase to $14 per hour for Oregon's home health care workers who are members of SEIU Local 503. In 2013, base pay was $10.20 per hour, according to SEIU. In 2017, it jumps to $14.50 per hour with an opportunity to make $15 per hour. Also beginning in January 2016, home care workers nationwide will begin receiving overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours per week under a new U.S. Department of Labor rule. The home health care industry sued to block a national overtime pay and minimum wage mandate, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the rule. The industry has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

More expensive insurance premiums If you're buying individual health insurance coverage through HealthCare.gov, expect to pay higher monthly premiums in 2016. Health insurance carriers in Oregon priced their policies so low in 2014 that the premiums enrollees paid did notcoverthe costoftheirm edicalcare.

That's why monthly premiums are spiking in 2016 at steeper rates in Oregon compared with the rest of the country. A study released in October by the Kaiser Family Foundation found Portland had the second-highest rateincreasesin itssilverplansbetween 2015 and 2016 — 22.8percent — ofma jorcitiesin each statebeneath Minneapolis, which saw increases of 28.7 percent.

Bendites with Moda's bronze plans can expect to pay about 42 percent more if they stick with the same plans in 2016. Locals who have PacificSource Health Plans' bronze, silver or gold plans will see increases of 48 and 49 percent.

Insurers required to cover care by telemedicine Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, a new Oregon law will take effectthatrequiresinsurance carriersto covermedi calcare that' sprovided via tw o-way videoconferencing, regardlessofwhere the patientislocated.

AGING Continued ~om Page6C This can cause part of the chronic, low-grade inflamm ationthatisassociated with the degenerativediseases that now kill most people in the developed world, includingheartdisease,cancer,diabetesand neurological disease.

'The action of miRNA-146a in older people appears to turn from a good to a bad influence," Shay said."It may be causingour detoxifi cation processesto declinejust when we need them the most."

Some of the things found to be healthy for individuals, in diet or lifestyle, may be so because they help to conserve the proper balance between the actions of miRNA146a and Nrf2, the OSU researchers said. Alternatively, it may be possible to reduce excessive levels of miRNA146a with compounds that interfere with its function.

There may also be other micro-RNAs associated with this process, they said, that need further research.

academy's recommendation.

'These children deserve access to the care we give them," she said.

'They deserve the right to get m edical careirrespectiveoftheir parents'choices."

M ore than 60 percent ofpediatricians reported spending about 10 minutes talking about vaccinations, OLeary said. The average well-child visitis 18 minutes, leaving little time to discuss other important topics.

The need to constantly talk about vaccines leads to strained patientrelationships, said Dr. Peter Liber, founder of west suburban Wheaton Pediatrics.

"If parents don't believe me when this is a slam dunk that vaccinations are a benefit to each and every child, you wonder if they will trust you on other things," Liber said.

Starting in 2012, Wheaton Pediatrics stopped accepting new patients who weren't vaccinated, Liber said. The gmup also began informing existing families whose children were not up to date on their vaccinations that they would have 18 months to catch up or be asked toleave.

When Lisa Tamura goes to the grocery store, she usually picks up a few frozen pizzas for the nights she doesn't want to cook.

But on a recent Thursday afternoon at the Ralphs supermarket in Laguna Hills, Calif, she stmlled right by the frozen food and headed straight to the fiuits and vegetables.

That's because she had some help from the ultimate personal shopper — a family doctor named Phil Cecchini. ''What do you like to eat?a he asked.

"Bad food," she responded, laughing.

Cecchini, who works for St. Joseph Hoag Health in Orange County, spent the afternoon advising shoppers on what foods to buy — and what to avoid.

"If you stick with the periphery, you are probably doing okay," Cecchini told Tamura, who recently moved from Hawaii to California.'You are avoiding all the pre-packaged, processed foods."

Hospitals and health clinics around the country are increasing their efforts to promote exercise and healthy eating. They're offering yoga and cooking classes, sponsoring farmers markets and writing prescriptions for fresh fiuits and vegetables.

One hospital in Connecticut opened a primary care clinic in a Stop & Shop supermarket and another in Michigan opened a demonstration kitchen. In California and Virginia, hospitals have partnered with schools to teach children about nutrition and exercise.

Such programs attract new patients and build loyalty, but many nonprofit hospitals are also driven by afederal mandate to improve health outcomes in the communities they serve. In addition, some hospitals are working under new payment models as a result of the Affordable Care Act in which they are compensatedand held accountable for results more than ever before. That has led to more integration with primary care clinics, as well as more projects and campaignstohelp reduce chronicdiseases such asobesity and diabetes.

Nearly 37 percent of Americans were obese between 2011 and 2014, according to a recent report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even in affluent Orange County, California, where obesity levels are lower, Cecchini said patients don't always know what foodscauseweight gain orraisetheir blood sugar.

"People tend to know a lot more about nutrition, but there are still a lot of misconceptions out there," he said.'There is alotofroom forimprovement."

Effective Dec. 1, 2015, Centegra Physician Care will only treat children who are vaccinated according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Almost all physicians encounter parents refusing vaccines,according to a recent study.

CHICAGO — For Dr. Laura Bianconi, the measles outbreakin The AmericanAcademy of PediPalatine earlier this year was the atrics stmngly endorses universal immunization, but within the field point.

The cases spurred Bianconi and there is not agreement on how to other pediatricians at Centegra respondto parentalrefusals.

Bianconi acknowledged that she has had familiesleaveherpractice before the policy change because they didn't want to expose their children to diseases in doctors' offices that could be carried by unvaccinated kids. But she said that public health interests were more important than business considerations in making the decision.

It's not too often that doctors face a choice between serving one patient or another. The decision to dismiss unvaccinated children raises tricky ethical issues. In general, doctors are supposed to do the best they can with the patients they have. There are very few adult patients, for example, who eatright, exercise and don't smoke, and yet doctors don't turn them away, bioethicists say.

The AmericanAcademy of Pediatric sdiscourages thepracticeof discharging patients solely because a paient chooses not to immunize.

In its guidance, the academy states:"Families with doubts about immunization should still have accessto good medicalcare,and maintaining the relationship in the faceofdisagreement conveys respect and at the same time allows the child access to medical care."

By David Stauth Oregon State University

CORVALLIS — Research at Oregon State University suggests it may be possible to slow age-related disease with new types of treatments.

Scientists have tracked the syndromesassociated with aging to their biochemical roots, and identified a breakdown in genetic communication as part of the problem. The findings imply that aging happens for a reason, and that while aspectsofitm ay beinevitable,there could be ways to slow down disease development.

A new study outlines findings about a protein, Nrf2, that helps regulate gene expression and the body's reactionto various typesofstressors. The research was published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine, in work supported by the National Institutes of Health and the Medical

"We're very excited about

the potential o f this areafo research."

— Tory Hagen, professor for health aging research, Oregon State University

Research Foundation of Oregon. aWe're very excited about the potential ofthisarea ofresearch," said Tory Hagen, corresponding author on this study, and the Helen P. Rumbel Professor for Health Aging Research in the Linus Pauling Institute and the OSU Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in the College of Science.

"At leastone important partof what we call aging appears to be a breakdown in genetic communication, in which a regulator of stress resistance declines with age," Hagen said."Aspeople age and their

m etabolic problems increase,the levels of this regulator, Nrf2, should be increasing, but in fact they are declining."

Nrf2 is both a monitor and a messenger, OSU researchers say. It's constantly on the lookout for problems with cells that may be caused by the many metabolic insults of life — oxidativestress,toxins,pollutants, and other metabolic dysfunction.

When it finds a problem, Nrf2 essentially goes back to the cellular nucleus and rings the alarm bell, where it can"turn on" up to 200 genesthatareresponsiblefor cell repair, detoxifi cation ofcarcinogens, protein and lipid metabolism, antioxidantprotection and other actions. In their report, the scientists called it a"longevity-assurance" factor.

Nrf2 is soim portantthatit's found in many life forms, not just humans, and it's constantly

•000

manufactured by cells throughout the body. About half of it is used up every 20 minutes as it performs its life-protective functions. Metabolic insults routinely increase with age, and if things were working properly, the amount of Nrf2 that goes back into the nucleus should also increase to help deal with those insults.

Instead, the level of nuclear Nrf2 declines, and the OSU scientists say they have discovered why.

"The levels of Nrf2, and the functions associated with it, are routinely about 30-40 percent lower in older laboratory animals," said Kate Shay, director of the Healthy Aging Core Laboratory at OSU and co-author on this study.aWe've been able to show for the first time what we believe isthe cause."

The reason for this decline, the scientists said, is increasing levels of a micro-RNA called miRNA-

146a.

Micro-RNAs have been one of the most profound scientific discoveries of the past 20 years. They were once thought to be"junk DNA" because researchers could see them but they had no apparent biological role. They are now understood to be anything but junk — they help play a major role in genetic signaling, controlling what genes are "expressed," or turned on and off to perform their function.

In humans, miRNA-146a plays a significant role. It can turn on the inflammation processes that, in something like a wound, help prevent infection and begin the healing process. But with aging, this study now shows that miRNA146a expression doesn't shut down properly, and it can significantly reducethe levelsofNrf2.

ggBY JAY BOBBI

Not that 20 I 5 wasn't: Last March, the actress

wrapped up her Emmy-winning portrayal of Sue Sylvester on Fox's '"Glee"; and in the summer, she returned as host of NBC's "Hollywood Game Night," then won another Emmy for it. As the latter show begins anew Tuesday, Jan. 5 — and as she also hosts the People's Choice Awards for CBS

on Wednesday,Jan. 6 — Lynch is getting back into scripted series, too. Slightly delayed f'rom a planned November debut, a new sitcom and role are suited perfectly to her caustic wit.

c

Jane lynch lands heaven-senl role in 'Angel From Hell'

Premiering Thursday, Jan. 7, CBS' "Angel From Hell" casts her as Amy, an often bawdy stranger who suddenly appears on a mission to improve the life of understandably skeptical doctor Allison (former "Psych" co-star Maggie Lawson l. In the opener, Amy manages to save Allison f'rom a relationship disaster ... but is she truly an angel, or merely someone with delusions of being one?

Presumably, time will tell, and so will the show that also casts Kevin Pollak as Allison's father and Kyle Bornheimer as her brother.

"I read it and I laughed out loud and I loved it."

Lynch says. "I called my agent and said, 'Let's get the ball rolling and see if we can't nail this thing for me.' So, yeah, I thought the writing was great.

I love the relationships."

Plus, Lynch adds, "I love who Amy is. I love what a mess she is, that she absolutely has no shame around any ofher alcoholism or the fact that she lives in her car, that she's just kind of who she is ... but the stakes for her are that she wants

to remain an angel, and this is kind of her last chance because she's really screwed it up before."
