As Colleen McLeod put it, not many people would turn down more money. "Imagine if you got a sixdollar-an-hour raise? Be kind of nice, wouldn't it?" she said.

e n t of Fish and Wildlife adds fee to pioneer license

• Free from 2000 to2015,licensefor longtime residents now $6 per year By Josh Benham and Dylan J. Darling WesCom News Service

Al Weathermon has a gripe with Oregon's pioneer hunting-and-fish license change, and it's not about a couple of dollars. It's the principle. "It's not the $6," the Island City resident said."It's the whole idea of the thing. It was set up to be free afterwe'vepaid feesand licensesour entire lives. Well, now it's not." From 2000to2015,the pioneer license from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife was free.Itwasdesigned forOregon residents age 65 and older who haveli ved in the statefor atleast 50 years. But starting this year, the license now costs $6 per year.

The new fee willincrease the number ofpaid residents who are licensed hunters and anglers, and that will allow the state to getmore federal funding, said Michelle Dennehy, spokeswoman for the agencyin Salem. "Basically ,we are trying toget more federal funds, and that is basedon paid licenses, "shesaid to The Bulletin. But the explanation that Weathermon wasgiven when he went to renew his pioneer license did not sit well with the 77-year-old. He's used the free license since the time he turned 65, and has been purchasing various hunting and fishing licenses since he was 16 years old. "I asked them why, and the agent couldn't tell me anything," he said."I

called iODFWl and they said, Well, we're sorry that there was a fee put on, but ithe decision) came in from the federal government.'That was

ithe ODFWsl escape.They had to have somebody to blame it on." In 2015, the state had 58,000

residents with pioneer licenses, Dennehy said to The Bulletin. People who picked up the free licenseand then paid fora deer tag, combined angling tag or other additional privilege counted as paidresidentlicense holders,according to the agency. Those who did not, did not count. For each of these people, the Department of Fish and Wildlife missed out on collecting

$14 in federalfunds,$7 forsportfish restoration and $7 for wildlife restoration.

Thistotaled about$250,000 per year, according to the agency. The amount was expected to keep going up as the population ages and m ore people become eligibleforthe pioneer license. By adding a fee for the license, the Department of Fish and Wildlifehopes to capture more federal money. "It is an important revenue stream for the agency," Dennehy said to The Bulletin.

The state has charged a feefor the pioneerlicensesbefore,according to an email from Dennehy. The stateestablished thepioneer license, initially as separate hunting and fishing licenses, in the 1940s after World War II and originally charged50 centsfor each license. By the 1990s, the state had combined the licenses and had a sliding feescalebased on the ageofthe purchaser. From 1992 to 1999, the high price for the license was $12. The current $6 pioneer license comes with a free Columbia River Basin Endorsement, required for anglers fishing for salmon, steelhead and sturgeon in rivers draining into the Columbia River, according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The rivers include the Deschutes and John Day, and the endorsementtypicall y costs$9.75. Dennehy said people purchasing the pioneer license come out ahead despite having to pay a fee for what they used togetforfree.

Commissioner candidatesnoIN atsix • Donna Beverage throws her hat into the ring By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

A longtime local resident will be the sixth candidate to fileforan open Union County Commissioner position. Donna Beverage, who was born and raised in Union County and now lives in Union, said if she is elected she will focus on transparencyand making informed decisions. "I've had a group of people asking me ito run for commissioner) for four years and I've been thinking about it for a couple of months now," Beveragesaid ofher decision to run."I've talked to family and other people iin the com-

munity) about what I could offer to Union County. I've put a lot of thought into it, and I Beverage feel like I have some things to help our county move on and move forward." Beverage said she willseek input from a host of sources if she is elected. "I will listen to all sides and try to make decisions with an open mind," she said."I know I will study the issues before I make any decisions and I will be transparent." Beverage said her main goals if she is elected will be securing library funding, reaching an agreement with the animal shelter and reinvigorating the timber

industry. "I would like to get things straightened out with the animal shelter and bring family wage jobs, which includes selective logging, so wehave less of a fire hazard and more people working in the timber industry," Beverage said. She said she would focus on what the Grande Ronde Valley already offers and make the county's assets stronger. "I want to make those things work for us iMount Emily Recreation Area, Buffalo Peaks Golf Course and Eastern Oregon University) — the existing things we have to offer and make them successful so we all benefit," she said. She said she plans on attending city council meetings, Lion's Club meetings in

the respective communities and chamber sessions. "I will talk to anybody and listen to anyone who wants to speaktome,"shesaid."I will take to heart what their interests are." Beverage currently serves on the City of Union Chamber of Commerce, the Union CountyChamber ofCommerce, where she has served as president, and the Oregon Trail Electric Co-Op Nominating Committee, which is responsible for nominating board members to OTEC. Beverage joins five other candidatesin theracefor commissioner. She said she is not running against the five candidates because she believes they are notgood enough, but she feels she can bringsomething positiveto the community.

An adult resident who does not qualify for the pioneer license would pay $74.75 for the equivalent in combined licenses and the endorsement, according to the agency. But for area hunters and anglers like Weathermon, he sees it as a way to make up for lost revenue and believes elder outdoorsmen shouldbe rewarded forlifetimes of fees and charges. "A lot of people aren't buying licenses anymore, and that runs their fees down,"Weathermon said. "So they're searching for a place to make some more revenue, and they might as well slap it on us seniors." Weathermon still hasn't purchased the license, but said he plans to eventually. He said his wife, who is about six months older than him, had been getting a pioneer license every year but is not an avid hunter or angler. Weathermon always picked up one for her in case she wanted to join him but said he may not purchase one for her.

That's why it is important for area voters to recognize that, in terms of the city of La Grande, a primary election is set for May 17. That means La Grande voters will secure an opportunity to make change — if they so choose — or to stay the political course already set. The position of mayor — a two-year term — along with three council slots — four-year terms — could potentially be up for grabs in May if three or more candidates file for a specific position. If two or fewer people file for a position, the names will automatically be placed on the Nov. 8 general election ballot.

in the city, or, for that matter, displeased with the direction La Grande is going politically, to get involved and be a change agent. Those who believe they have a betterway ofdoing businesscan take advantage of this opportunity to become part of a new solution. We not only encourage residents who are interested to get involved through the election but hope a host of candidates will step forward. Democracy works only if people, voters, get involved. That concept, of course, carries its own challenges. Becoming a representative of the people in a small town can, at times, be a diKcult road. However, there are few better methods to ensure democracy functions and to give back to the community than to step up and be counted in a political race. If you are unsatisfied with the direction of the city, or want to inHuence the future course of La Grande, then May presents you with an opportunity to make a difference. Those interested should not let this opportunity pass by without notice.

MURDER

CITY Continued ~om Page1A currentservicesorstaff.The decision spared Veterans Memorial Pool, which had beentargeted forclosurethree months out of the year. The decision also ended the need for closing the Urban Forestry Program, eliminating the part-time Tree Care Educator position, shutting down the recreation program and reducing a position and the hours in the Finance and Municipal Court. "The key thing was to maintain any current services or programs," Clements said.'We're maintaining — nothing's getting cut." The committee also recommended a publicsafety increase ofa"third out ambulance." That would allow the city to fund overtime costs to bring in firefighters to standby at the La Grande Fire Station in the event a third call for service comes in when the on-duty crew is out on service calls. Currently, an additional crew is not routinely called back until an actual call is received. Other mnmmendations included to under levy the Urban Renewal District fora projectedrevenue of$424,034forthe 2016-17 fiscal year, to increase fianchise fees on electricity and natural gas utilities fiom 5 percent to 7 percent; to submit a request to Union County for $50,000 of additional funding for Cook Memorial

The utility fee would also grantone fiee visit to the pool each month to citizens, who could bringone other person with them. The proposals were met byunanimous approvai, and all seven city councilors votedin support of the recommendations. "I think why the committee worked so well iseverybody accepted responsibility and respected the positions of everybody else," Clements said.'We brought to the table, and talked about, sensible and achievable things. This is the culminating piece that this group has been working on for months." Clements emphasized that these proposals are all still under negotiation, and said the recommendations will be discussed and decided upon by the La Grande City Council duringits May budgethearings.Ifapproved,themeasures would be part of the budget for the 2016-2017fi scalyearbeginningJuly 1.

that it needed a contingency plan in place in case of, for instance, Union County does not approve the city's requestfor$50,000 forthe library. The committee noted that the under levy proposal is on an annual basis. "Priorities can change with each new council," City Manager Robert Strope said."They may come in and say we're notgoing to under levy Urban Renewal at all." Councilor Gary Lillard expressed the need for caution regarding Urban Renewal. "It's very complicated," Lillard said."I think we need to do a better job of first of all, understanding it ourselves, and then making sure we help the citizenry understand how it works. As important as the work is that we're doing, this is a Band-aid. Unless something changes prettydrastically atthe statelevel, we're going to be back here in a few years doing the same thing. It seems to me that the only real option we have thatwe have some levelofcontrolover is economic development, which is to say, Urban Renewal.

The knee is a hinge joint and, like most hinges, is designed to move in only one direction: up and down. If the foot is stable, the knee will move only up and down in its process of locking and unlocking during walking or running. But if the foot pronates (collapses inward), the knee will move

A federal court weighs practice of Christian prayers at meetings ByAlanna Durkin Richer The Associated Press

A federal appeals court wrestled on Wednesday with whether local government leaders in North Carolina are violating the Constitution by holding exclusively Christian prayers at their meetings — the first time a courtatthatlevelhasaddressed the issue since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a town government's favor in a similar case in 2014. An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union urged a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Grcuit Court of Appeals to uphold the lower court's ruling that the Rowan County Commissioner' spractice ofopening their meetings with prayers that almost

always referred to Christianity was "unconstitutionality coercive." But a lawyer for the Rowan County Commission said the recent Supreme Court decision supports its case and asked the judges not to engage in "difficult line drawing" between the church and state. The Supreme Court has already ruled that it's appropriate for local clergy to deliver predominantly Christian prayers and town meetings in New York. At issue now is whether it makes a difference that the Rowan County prayers are being given by the commissioners themselves and whether their invitation for the audience to join them in prayer should be seen as coercive

Chris Brook, an attorney for the ACLU, said the commissioners' language shows they were proselytizing, instead of simply delivering opening prayers for their own benefit, which the Supreme Court judgesstressed asa key partof their reasoning for upholding the prayers in New York. 'They have made plain that the audience of these prayers is not only elected offIcials, but the Rowan County citizens," said Brook, who was joined in court Wednesday by two of the three residents who sued the Commission in 2013 with the support of the ACLU. The commissioners routinely asked residents at the meetings to stand and"pray

berthat are selected by government offIcials. "Either way, it's the government speaking," Texas attorney Allyson Ho said. But Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III said what he finds different — and "concerning" — about the Rowan County case is the combination of the fact that the commissioners are delivering the prayers and that the invocations consistently reference just one faith. 'The prayers are eloquent and beautiful,"Wilkinson said.'The problem is the setting, which is the most basic unit of government, which affects the lives of all citizens — not just one particular faith."

Steven Ageequestioned whether the commissioners askingresidents to stand and join in prayer could be seen as coercion, noting they could choose to remain seated orleave the room during the prayer. An attorney for the Commission stressed that the Rowan County case is no different from the one in New York. She told the judges that the constitutionality of the commission's prayers shouldn't hinge on whether they are being delivered by commissioners or by a clergy mem-

Baker City Police decide not to send officers to Harney County By Jayson Jacoby and Chris Collins

vvescom News service

BAKER CITY — Police and emergency dispatch workers from Baker County have helpedtheir colleagues in Harney County this week, but Baker City Police officers are staying in town. Police Chief Wyn Lohner, who sent a city oScer to Burns for five days earlier this month, said Wednesday he decided not to send any other oScers out of the area. Lohner said he paid close attention to news accounts some of the people who occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge had traveled to or spoken with residents in Grant County. Lohner noted there are federal sites in Baker County, such as the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, that

"I have enough concern about that activity moving into our area that I don't want to deplete our resources," Lohner said. I have to think about our community first. This is happening in our region. It could just as easily occur here as any-

Baker County Sheriff Travis Ash says law enforcement oScers in the region are taking a wait-and-see attitude in the days after the shooting death of one and the arrest of 11 others who have occupied the Malheur Wildlife Refuge since Jan. 2. Ash said he and one deputy traveled to Burns Tuesday in response to a

request for mutual aid from Harney County. Ash, who was at the command post after the refuge occupiers were taken into custody, returned to Baker County Wednesday night and the deputy was home by Thursday. '%e're expecting it will start winding down a little bit," Ash said Thursday. Jerry Boyd, interim direc-

line as Badgers, Eagles battle • Powder Valley trounced Joseph by 25 in last meeting By Ronald Bond The Observer

When Joseph and Powder Valley met in their Old Oregon League opener Dec. 19 in North Powder, the hometown Badgers used a big third quarter to propel them to a resounding 57-32 victory. That game currently servesas the difference between the two in the OOL, with Powder Valley i6-1 OOLl alone in second place

and Joseph i4-2l in third. Joseph head coach Olan Fulfer is hoping for a much different outcome in tonight's rematch in Joseph, the first of two important games this weekend for the Eagles. 'This weekend for us is the differencebetween a tiefor second and a tie for fourth," said Fulfer, whose team follows the Powder Valley matchup with a trip to face fourth-place Echo Saturday. Fulfer said turnovers

were a major contributor to Joseph's undoing in the first matchup. He noted taking care of the ball will be instrumental if the Eagles are to stay in the rematch. ''We kind oflost our minds on their press and their halfcourt defense," he said.'They play the passing lanes really well. They execute really well." Fulfer added that while it will take a team effort to win, he's looking at two individuals to take their play up a level. ''We need Aaron Borgerding to step up and he needs to have a good game — and Jake Chrisman, too," he said. 'They need to step into their own and have big games." The game is just as big, if notbigger,forthe Badgers. With a win tonight, Powder Valley would have an opportunity to play for first place when it hosts league leader Nixyaawii Saturday. But head coach Michael Lieuallen isn't overlooking the Eagles. "The Joseph game is just as important, "he said,adding that if the Badgers win,

Aside from sports, writing has always been a passion of mine, and one of mystrongest academic traits. I decided early on in high school that if I wanted to truly love what I did for the rest of my life, it needed to involve sports. And with professionalathlete outofmy realm, Irealized it would have to involve writing, too. So with that thought in mind, I set sights on my final goal — to work as a sports journalist or broadcaster for a major company.

I moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for part of middle and high school, and also spent time in Portland midway through college. It was definitely a much-needed and muchappreciated experience.

They take a lot of pride in it." The number of games teams get to play may also be what keeps them returning. McKinley said the teams are guaranteed four games. Most oftheagegroups feature a round-robinformat and an opportunity to play in a championship-round game, whether for the age-group title or a consolation game. "Some will play more ithan four games), but we won't have anybody play less than that," he said. The action begins at 9 a.m. Saturday and Sunday at the various sites, with action runningthrough 8 p.m. Saturday, and the championship games starting about 2 p.m. Sunday at the middle school, high school and at EOU.

they are at the very least in position to clinch second in league.'Two wins against them would give us the tiebreaker and put us in the driver's seat." A lot of the Badgers' success this season has stemmed from their fullcourt press, and forcing the issue with their pressure is part of what Lieuallen said his team needs to do to pull off another win. ''We want to create turnovers with the press and we have to execute on the offensiveend,"he said. He knows as well that trying to go into Joseph to win will add to the challenge.

By Ronald Bond The Observer

to get back into the swing of small-town life, I began to refocus on my future career. I quickly realized that I needed to add more padding to my resume if I wanted to make a sportscareer happen. Iordertodo that,I needed experience. A few weeks ago, I walked into The Observer looking for an opportunity as an intern for the sports section. I told myself that even if there wasn't an internship available, I would askif I could shadow one of the sports writers. If I still received a"no," my next courseofaction was to beg and plead forany opportunity I could possibly get in the sports department — even if it meant dusting the editor' sdesk or delivering coffeeatany hour of the day or night. To my surprise, I was not only able to sit down with the new sports editor, Ronald Bond, but also the editor of The Observer, Andrew Cutler, that same afternoon. And what I thought was going to be a meeting that consisted of my pitiful plea asking to merely shadow one of the sports writers quickly turned into a job interview for the new sports journalist position — which I apparently nailed. I am beyond excited for not only the opportunity to spend my time completely immersed in sports, but to expand my knowledge and skills in sports journalism. My personal belief is that each and every event in life happens for a reason. This opportunityto covercollege-levelsportsatmy current school, along with covering the area high schools, is more than perfect. Who knows what my future will hold, but for now — let's talk sports.

DES MOINES, Iowa — For the Republicancandidates forpresident,it was a glimpse of what could have been. Front-runner Donald Trump's boycott of the final debate before the Iowa caucusescreated space forhisrivalsto delve more deeply into their differences on immigration, foreign policy and theirapproach togoverning. And for some candidates — former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in particularTrump'sabsence from the debate stage Thursday night appeared to ease some of the tension created by his sharply personal attacks. A frequent target of Trump, Bush opened the debate by saying wryly, "I kind of miss Donald Trump; he was a teddy bear to me." Iowa voters kick off the 2016 nominating process with Monday's caucuses, and thegl provide the first indication of whether Trump's abrupt decision to skip the debate will have any impact on his standing atop the GOP field. His lead in Iowa had already become more tenuous in recent days, as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pulled in support from conservative and evangelicalvoters. Trump's decision to pull out of the debate over a feud with host Fox News was a gamble, particularly so close to the state of voting. But having defied political convention throughout his campaign,itwasarisk therealestate mogul was willing to take. He still looked to steal attention away from his rivals with a competing rally elsewhere in Des Moines, an event he said raised $6 million for military veterans. ''When you'retreated badly,you have to stick up for your rights," Trump said in explaining his boycott. Broadening his point, he said,cWe have to stick up forourselves aspeople and we have to stick up for our country if we're being mistreated." Trump's absence put the spotlight on Cruz, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, as well, who needs a strong showing in Iowa in order to stay in the top tier of candidates. The two senators were confronted

The Associated Press

Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush laugh together after a Republican presidential primary debate onThursday in Des Moines, lowa. with video clips suggesting they had changed their positions on immigration, one of the most contentious issues among Republicans. While each insisted the other had flip-flopped, both denied they had switched their own views on allowing some people in the U.S. illegally to stay. Cruz accused Rubio of making a "politically advantageous" decision to supporta 2013 Senate billthat included a pathway to citizenship, while the Florida senator said his Texas rival was "willing to say or do anything to get votes." "This is the lie that Ted's campaign is built on," Rubio said.'That he's the most conservative guy." In a rare standout debate moment for Bush, the former Florida governor sharply sided with Cruz in accusing Rubio ofhaving"cut and run" on the Senate immigration bill. "He cut and run because it wasn't popular with conservatives," said Bush, who was more consistent in this debate than in previous outings. Cruz was put on the spot over his oppositionto ethanol subsidiesthat support Iowa's powerful corn industry — a position that has long been considered politically untenable for presidential candidates in the state.

The Texas senator cast his position as an effort to keep the government from picking economic winners and losers. With their White House hopes on the line, the candidates worked hard topresentthemselves asbestprepared to be commander in chief and take on terror threats. Rubio struck an aggressive posture, pledging that as president he would go after terrorists "wherever they are. And if we capture them alive, they are going to Guantanamo." Rubio also stood by his previous calls for shutting down mosques in the U.S. if there were indications the Muslim religious centers were being used to radicalize terrorists. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul — back on the main debate stage after being downgraded to an undercard event becauseoflow pollnumbers earlier this month — warned against closing down mosques. A proponent of a more isolationist foreign policy, Paul also raised concerns about the U.S. getting involved militarily in Syria, where the Islamic State group has a stronghold. The candidates focused some of their most pointed attacks on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. "She is not qualified to be president of the United States," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said.

In 2014, Mayor Charlie Hales and Commissioner Steve Novick pushed for a new street fee without a public vote, which was largely derided by Portland residents. Ifapproved,the gastaxis

controls on Moda

Oregon regulators on Wednesday forced tight new state controls on struggling Portland health insurer Moda Health Plans, citing the company's ongoing financial losses and depleted capital reserves. The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation put the company into "supervision," meaning all business decisions will have to be cleared by state ofFIcials. The company suff ered a miserable fourth quarter of continuing losses and a shrinking base of capital, said Patrick Allen, directoroftheOregon Department of Consumer and Business Services. The state gave Moda until the close ofbusiness Friday to come up with a new business plan. Regulators are demanding Moda either shrinkitsoperations orraise significant new capital, said Laura Cali, head ofthe Oregon Insurance Division. It appears Moda will choose to shrink its busi-

ers were on their way to a meeting in the community of John Day when they encountered the FBI-led operation to apprehend them. The FBI acted amid growing calls that something be done to end the occupation, including from Oregon's governor. The Oregon State Medical Examiner's OfFIce on Thursday confi rmed the person shot in the Tuesday confrontation was Finicum, a 54-year-old Arizona rancher. At the news conference in Burns, Bretzing said four occupiers are still holed up at the wildlife refuge.'The negotiators continue to work around the clock to talk to thosefour peoplein an efFort to get them to come out peacefully," he said. The occupation by ranchers and others began Jan. 2, and at one point there were a couple of dozen people holed up, demanding that the federal government turn public lands over to local control. But the compound has been emptying out since

the arrest of Bundy, and 10 othersoverthepastfew days, and with the death of Finicum. Oregon Public Broadcasting on Thursday spoke with the holdouts and identified them as David Fry, who is from Ohio, husband and wife Sean and Sandy Anderson, of Idaho, and Jeff Banta, of Nevada. Ammon Bundy on Thursday released a statement through his attorney repeating his call for the last occupiersto leave peacefully: "Turn yourselves in and do not use physical force." All 11 peopleunder arrest have been charged with a felony count of conspiring to impede federaloffi cersfrom carrying out their duties through force or intimidation. Three of the 11 were arrested Wednesday night when they left the refuge. Ammon Bundy is the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a tense 2014 standofF with the government over grazing rights.

by Stella Wilder sATURDAY, IANUARY 30, 2016 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you try diligently to display to the world the side of your personality that is open, accepting, tolerant, pleasant, sociable and charming -- for you knowthat is the side of you that can really pave your way, both personally and professionally. What you do not want the world to see, however, is the side of your nature that is far more dark and biting, the side that actually enables you to survive in the most difficult of situations, but which can be, when things are going well, a real disadvantage to you. It is that side that compels you to lash out, to criticize, to be aloof and judgmental, and to think ofyourself as better than others. SUNDAY, JANUARY 31 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You will have to take charge if you expect things to continue at their current pace — and in their current direction.

land — Last weekend's blizzard was the fourth most powerful snowstorm to hit the Northeast in at least 66 years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday. The agency gave the storm a rating of 7.66 on the Northeast Snowfall Impact Scale, which ranks storms according to inches of snowfall, geographic reach and population affected. That bumps down to No. 5 the Presidents Day weekend storm of 2003, which had a score of 7.50. The blizzard last Friday throughSunday affected 102.8 million people and covered about 434,000 square miles in 26 states, NOAA spokeswoman Maureen O'Leary said. Almost 24 million people saw more than 20 inches of snow and 1.5 million got more than 30 inches, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Kocin, who helped develop thescale. He called the storm a slightly smaller version of a January 1996blizzard,No.2on thelist, whichcovered a similararea. "This storm ranks up there withthegreat blizzards of the past 100 years in terms of amount of snowfall, size of impacted areas and population affected," Kocin said in a statement. The scale doesn't take into account other misery metrics, such asstorm-related deaths, flight cancellations and power outages. ''We try to keep the scale as simple as possible," Kocin

WEEICLY FISHING REPORT JOHN DAY RIVER • Steelhead fishing has slowed due to cold temperatures and the river icing over. The John Day River flows are now near 500 cfs at Service Creek. Steelhead have dispersed throughout the system and numbers are increasing above Service Creek in the upper John Day. The North Fork above Kimberly is iced over in spots while the majority of the mainstem is clear. Anglers have success primarily drifting with jigs, shrimp or eggs with a bobber. Another popular method is drifting a worm along the bottom. Fly anglers are primarily nymphing with lower success. QDFW encourages all anglers to keep any ad-clipped steelhead taken in this fishery. All wild (adipose intact) steelhead must be released unharmed. WALLOWA RIVER • The Wallowa River is free of ice and a few anglers are finding steelhead. As winter progresses and fish move toward the hatchery facilities, fishing will improve. IMNAHA RIVER • Anglers are still finding success for steelhead on the Imnaha River. Most of the success is currently below Horse Creek however a few fish have been caught just below the town of Imnaha. Fishing will pick up as winter progresses into spring. Remember, the new closure date for the Imnaha River steelhead fishery is now April 30.Yearround fishing for hatchery trout began Jan. 1, 2016.

Whether you're hunting, fishing or hiking, without good footwear you just won't make it very far. Years ago I always bought cheap boots but like everything else, you get what you pay for. I've had three pairs ofhiking sandals fall apart in the backcountry. That's not good when you're seven miles fiom camp. If you don't listen to anything else I ever say,

buy good boots! Therearebasically three stylesof footwearasfarastheoutdoorsgoessandals, hiking boots and high-top boots. Allthree have theirplace.Yearsago I thought sandals were for yuppies but they have their benefits. • Light •Crossriversand dry offfast • Hike backcountry in sandals then throw them into your daypack since they're light and slap on your waders and fish. But sandals also have their downsides. • No ankle support • No protection from the elements, stickers, sunburn and rocks. Iwear canvas-type hikingbootsa lot in the summer/early fall. They're light so I can go longer. I've got numerous models of Irish Setters but I really like their Vapr Treks. They're really lightweight. But when winter hits it's time to switch to your high-top leather boots because snow fills in over the top on hiking boots, plus they're cold. Canvas hiking boots are not good with snakes or cactus either. When they came outyears ago I was on an early blackpowder hunt in Northern Colorado. While walking up mountains I kept kicking into cactus. It didn't take long for that to get old. So if you're in cactus country, wear leather boots.

High-top hunting boots When I think ofhunting boots I think about all the kinds of weather that may be encountered in a week of elk hunting — rain, snow or subzero cold. You want at least an 8-inch top so you can wear gaiters to keep the snow out. You want waterproofboots and Goretex is the best. Hunting boots get a tough beating. You don't want them to blow out on you. For this reason I highly recommend that you buy the best you can afford. No matter what kind ofboot we're talking about, you have to have aggressive soles. Not only can you fall but to make it even more dangerous you're carryingagun.Remember — agun is mechanical and can accidentally shoot off. If you fall hard and it goes flying you have no control and that's not good. For years I thought I wore a size 10D. Twenty-five years ago I went into a boot shop. He measured me and told me I had a 10'/2B. I told himno, I wore a 10D. He said no, you wear a 10D so your foot can slop around, you have a 10'/2 B on your right foot and a 10'/4 B on your left foot. Hmmm...a 10'/2 did feel better. Have yourfeetmeasured. Ifa bootdoesn'tfeel comfortable when you try it on, don't buy it. It's not going to get any better in the mountains. See Claycomb/Bge 2C

BIRD DOGS

FROM THE READER

WinteriSEiOS-traininetime

Your turn: Photoofthe week

By Rich Landers The (Spokane, Wash.) Spokesman Review

Bird dogs don't make time during winter, spring and summer for analyzing films and contemplating improvements to their game before the next hunting season. In fact, mostbird dogsget little off-season enrichment to their craft. They loaf; they chew up curtains and advance bad habitslike beggingforfood, chasing squirrels and poking a pedigreed nose where it doesn't belong on every person who visits. These diversions will not add up to more finds on quail in October. As aprofessional bird dog trainer, Dan Hoke deals every year with hunters who wait until September before thinking about getting their flushers, pointers or retrievers ready for the fall hunting seasons. That's poor timing, he said, noting,"There usually aren't any quick fixes in dog training." Oregon's upland game bird seasons end Sunday. The best time to start planning dog trai ning for the 2016-17 seasons is now, says Hoke, who owns Dunfur Kennel near Cheney, Washington, and trains year-round. Serious training should commence this spring and conditioning workouts should ramp up in summer. But now's the time, while the recent season is fresh in memory, to make a list of what the dog did well and

which areas need extra work. If a pointer wasn't steady on Huns as the season waned in January, he won't be a bit better next fall without controlled training using live birds. Ditto for a springer that can't be whistled off a running pheasant. If the dog was reluctant to retrieve a duck at the end of this season, that can be fixed, but it may take time. Why go another season with a dog that won't heel or sit when commanded or won't come when called? You can talk to your dog, whisper to it, plead with it, play with it, but, as Hoke points out,"Dog training takes time and repetition." Short high-quality sessions are better than long, drawn out sagas. Precise timing of rewardand correction iscritical to dog training. Sometimes things go wrong. My English setter, for example, was retrieving beautifully going into the recent hunting season until we had a freak accident during one of our daily playful retrieving breaks. The dummy I tossed inadvertently landed on adowned wild rose stem. Scout dove in forthe retrieve aggressively and the thorns sunk into his lips, gums and tongue. He

yipped as though he'd been electronicall y corrected at high voltage just as he hit the dummy. Result: Dog runs up to dummy, circles and looks back wondering what to do next. This took weeks of en-

couragement and rewards to reverse. The breakthrough came when I wised up and startedusing a diferent size and style ofdummy. The dog was suddenly more receptive, and eventually his anxiety was cured. A professional trainer, as well as joining a group of peers such as members of the Spokane Bird Dog Association, can enrich a hunter with proper training techniques and experience-based troubleshooting tips. Pros and clubs also have connectionsforobtaining pen-raised game birds for finishing touches. "If your dog is young, maybe it actually learned to find birds this season and handle them nicely," Hoke said."Sometimes young dogs even do that without much training. That's natural ability." On the other hand,a bird dog with no natural ability m ay never develop into a good hunter. The off-season also is the time for the hunter to refine his own techniques. For example, develop succinct commands used in the same intensity during training as well as in the field. "The dog isn't going to know dog commands just because it's a dog," Hoke said. "Dogs don't respond well to rambling rants or conversations." In most cases, the only thing keeping a good bird dog frombeing great isthe hunter who owns it.

In Eckstrom's office that day, Wolfe was transformed — lively and clearheaded."If you hadn't seen her six months ago, you'd never know she had all those problems," Eckstrom said.

'Sick of the whining' While many in geriatrics have resignedthemselves to theirpredicament, some believe the field will soon receivethe recognition itdeserves.New payment models that hold doctors and health systems accountable for keeping people healthy are on the rise, and geriatricians foresee a day when they are bettervalued and compensated. "A lot of us are sick of the whining," said Dr. Rosanne Leipzig, a geriatrician and professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, which is experimenting with a two-year program thatcombines geriatricsand palliative care. And there is an emerging emphasis on training many different health care professionals — nurses,pharmacists, internal and family medicine physicians, physician assistants, and physicaland occupationaltherapists— to seeolder patients through a geriatrics lens rather than focusing solely on creating more geriatricians. Mini-fellowships at teaching hospitals to train practicing physicians in geriatrics have sprung up around the country. Cardiology, urology, emergency medicine and otherspecialtiesarepromoting geriatrics training and research within those disciplines. Acknowledging an older person's need for dignity is an important part of Eckstrom's practice. When talking with a patient about giving up driving, she referstoitas"retiring from driving, "casting itasan actof liberation, as if driving were a job to be freed of. It is thatkind ofperspectivethat drew the attention of trainees already attracted to the human side of medicine. Dr. Kathleen Drago grew to love geriatrics while training under Eckstrom."I got caught in Elizabeth's web," she said.'You meet people who have walked these incredible paths, and are starting to reflect on their lives and focus in on what's important in the time they have left."

t may be an offer employees simply can no longer refuse. Workers increasingly are being told by their companies to undergo health screenings and enroll in wellness programs, as a way to curb insurance costs. Many employees now face stifF financial penalties — often in the form ofhigher premiums — if they do not have their cholesterol checked orjoin programs to losew eight or bettermanage diabetes. And a ruling late last month by a federal judge in Wisconsin is likely to further embolden companies to prod workers to join these programs, despite growing concerns over employee privacy and health management. The court decision is the latestsetback forthe federal Equal EmploymentOpportunity Commission, which in the last few years has pursuedlegalaction against programs it says violated federal antidiscrimination laws. The agency has argued, unsuccessfully in some cases, that employers have wellnessprograms thatviolate laws prohibiting them trom demanding medical information from workers. In addition to bringing several lawsuits, the agency has also issuedproposed regulations that would forbid companies to make health screenings a condition of insurance coverage. The standofF will need to besettled by the courts unless the agency revises its rules. 'The EqualEmployment Opportunity Commission does not like wellness plans, period," said Eric Dreiband, a former general counsel for the agency who is now a partner at Jones Dayin Washington, D.C. While most large employersofferw ellnessprograms, companies and workers alike may find the rules difficult to navigate. The Affordable Care Act allows employers to impose hefty penalties on individuals who do not participate. Nearly halfofthelarge employers offering screenings and wellness programs use some sort of financial incentivetopersuade employees to comply, accordingto arecent analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation. But the EEOC seems to have adopted a different standard, and its proposed regulations do not mesh neatly with the health law.

uthMiles,88, sat in a wheelchair in a small exam room,clutching a water bottle, looking frightened and uncomfortable She was submitting to the tender scrutiny of Dr. Elizabeth Eckstrom, who scooted her stoolsocloseshe was knee to knee with her patient. Miles had broken her pelvis after tripping on an electric cord in her apartment. The weeks since then had been hellish, she told her doctor. At the rehab center, incapacitated and humiliated, she had cried for help from the bathroom. Her hands were covered with bruises trom the blood thinners she was on. She winced as Eckstrom tugged slightly at a bandage that adhered stubbornly to her left elbow. aWe'll have to get that changed," Eckstrom said softly. Eckstrom, 51, who spends her days focused on the complex medical needs of older patients, is, like the Central African okapi, a species that is revered, rare and endangered. She is a geriatrician. Geriatrics is one of the few medical specialties in the United States that is contracting even as the need increases, ranking at the bottom of the list of specialties that internal medicine residents choose to pursue. "One ofthe greateststoriesofthe 20th century was that we doubled the life expectancy of adults," said Terry Fulmer, president of the John Hartford Foundation, which funds programs to improve the care of older adults."Now we need to make sure we have all the supports in place to assure not just a long life

but a high quality of that long life." Here in Oregon, there is approximately one geriatrician for every 3,000 people older than 75. The shortage will grow more acute as the state's population continues to age. Oregon's problem ismirrored across the United States. According toprojections based on census data, by the year 2030, roughly 31 million Americans will be older than 75, the largest such population in American history. There are about 7,000 geriatricians in practice today in the United States. The American Geriatrics Society estimates thatto meet the demand, medical schools would have to train atleast6,250 additional geriatricians between now and 2030, or about 450 more a year than the current rate.

Oregon Health & Science University, where Eckstrom practices, had fiveslotsopen for geriatrics fellows for 2016 and filled only three. Last year, Dr. Elizabeth WhiteChu, who directs the university's geriatrics fellowship program, said she had resorted to cold-calling residency programs throughout the Northwest in search of candidates.
