Remy Spangler was quiet and reserved before joining the Special Olympics. His mom, Ellie Spangler, said it took Remy some time to warm up to his group. However,10yearslater,hefeels accepted,is having the time ofhis life and is making friendships that will last a lifetime. It's not about the disability — it's about the encouragement and support of teammates. It's not about who wins the games — it's about inclusion and equality, said Doug Trice, Special Olympics Oregon Union County program co-coordinator. Special Olympics gives the athletes a chance to shine. Trice has been involved with Special Olympics for 18 years. He wants athletes with disabilities to join because ofhow much the program offers and wants parents to know their child can have that feeling of inclusion they get when on a team. Special Olympics is a national program available to individuals with disabilities who want to participate in athletics. The program is offered throughout the year with different events for each season. The winter season just wrapped up, Trice said. The athletes went to Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort over the weekend to practice snowshoeing, skiing and snowboarding.

Oregon Connections Academy students were searching for clues and debris at Birnie Park Thursday afternoon. The students found both and developeda new appreciation of community service and history in the process. ORCA students took part in ORCA cleanup day and an Oregon Trail scavenger hunt, coordinated by Taylor Hunt, of Island City, an Oregon Connections Academy student. Hunt organizedtheevent aspartofher senior project. She was assisted by three other ORCA students, Josiah Leno of Umapine, Logan Flynn ofPendleton and Autumn Barrett of Cove. "I want ithe students) to realize that the history of the Oregon Trail is in their own backyard," Hunt said."I want them to wonder what life must have been like on the Oregon Trail." Birnie Park has many displays and signs commemorating the Oregon Trail, which passed beside where the park is located. The scavenger hunt was tied into these displays and signs. Students were on the lookout for clues leading them to the Oregon Trail items they needed to find during their scavenger hunt. Students were asked, for example, to find the years 1843, considered the first year of the Oregon Trail's true existence;1993,theyearofitssesquicentennial; and 2003, its 160th year.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. has asked the BLM to extend by two months the comment period, which ended Thursday, for the proposed Boardmanto-Hemingway power line. The comment period started Dec. 19, 2014. Idaho Power Co. wants to build the line through Northeastern Oregon, including Baker County. The BLM is the lead federal agency in analyzing the possibleefFectsofthe power line, which would run through both public and private property between Boardman and Hemingway, which is in southwestern Idaho. A group oflocal residents

doesn't want Idaho Power to build the line through the county. The Baker County Board of Commissioners submitted written comments to the BLM this week, arguing, among other points, that the BLM failed to adequately consideroptional routesfor the power line that reduce the effectson localfarmers and ranchers, as well as the view from the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Wyden, who had town hall meetings in several Eastern Oregon locations recently, including Baker City and La Grande, wants the BLM to extend the comm ent period for 60 days. "On a trip through Eastern Oregon last weekend, it became abundantly clear

that community members had many unanswered questions, including whether Idaho Power had made the case for needing the transmission line,"Wyden wrote in his letter to BLM Director Neil Kornze. Wyden went on in the letter to say that while he supports moving the process along in a timely manner, "my position, however, isthatallparties — BLM, Idaho Power and Oregon communities — will benefit in the long run from thorough public participation and by addressing concerns early on. This requires a longer comment period." The BLM could not be reached for comment by press time.

Commissionersaskgovernortodeclaredrongliemergencv By Jayson Jacoby WesCom News Service

BAKER CITY — Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett is looking at the mountains near his ranch and what he sees is trouble. Or rather, what he doesn't see. Snow. "I'm standing here, looking at Bullrun Mountain, and there's only a few patches of snow," Bennett said Thursday afternoon, talking by cellphone from his property east of Unity. "And that's almost 8,000

feet." Or7,879 feet,according to thecartographers'latest reckoning. But Bennett's point isn't about elevation so much as timing. "That's not what you want to look at in March," he said. 'The mountains are our reservoirs in Baker County, and there's just nothing there." Not enough to make up for the scanty snowpacks the past two winters, certainly. Little wonder, then, that Bennett joined fellow commissioners Tim L. Kerns and Chairman Bill Harvey on

Wednesdayin asking Gov. Kate Brown to declare a drought emergency in Baker County. 'The ground is dry and cracked, and the countyroad is dust," Bennett said. Baker County has plenty of company in its misery. Brown has already approved drought emergency declarati ons fortw ocounties — Malheur, which borders Baker County, and Lake. Also this week, commissioners in Klamath and Crook counties asked the governor to declare drought emergen-

cies within their boundaries. A statedrought declaration can make state resources available and allow in some casesformore flexiblewater management or expedited permits for drilling wells. A state declaration is also a requiredstep in theprocess of potentially tapping federal aidforfarmers,ranchers and othersaffected by drought. The drought has worsened over the past year across Eastern Oregon. A year ago, most of Oregon's southeast corner was in

severedrought,adesignation that extended into a small section of southern Baker County. But today that entire area is in extreme drought — one level worse than severe. And most of the rest of Baker County, which was in moderate drought a year ago, is now rated as severe drought. The nearly snow-free mountains and the dusty roads aren't the only blatant signs of the situation, either. M ost the of region'slarger reservoirsarealso depleted,a

reflection that the drought is not new but is getting worse. Phillips Reservoir near Baker City is about 37 percent full, and Owyhee Reservoir ,acrucialsourceof water for the Treasure Valley, is just 26 percent full. The Argus Observer newspaperin Ontarioreported that farmers who have rights to water stored in Owyhee Reservoir probably will get about one-third of their normal allotment of water this spring and summer.

Diana Mae Wood, 82 of Union, passed away on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at Grande Ronde Hospital. A Viewing will be held at Loveland Funeral Chapel on Friday, March 20th 5:008:00pm. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Union United Methodist Church on Saturday, March 21st at 2:00pm. Diana was born January 1, 1933 at Hereford, Oregon to Alice Whited Bronson and Arthur Bronson. The family later moved to Union where she grew up and graduated from high school. She manied Don Wood on the 18th of March in 1950. This union produced a daughter Denise and a son Dallas. The family lived at Pondosa for eight years where Don worked at the mill. In 1958 they moved to Gilchrist, Oregon for Iyearthen to Westir,O regon for6 yearsbefore moving to Oakridge, Oregon where they lived for 15 years. In Oakridge Diana owned and operated a Sears's catalog store for 13 '/2 years while Don continued working at the local m ill. She was a very good manager and won awards forefIiciency. Both Denise and Dallas graduated from high school in Oakridge. In 1980 Don and Diana retired and moved to their new home in La Pine, Oregon. They lived there for 15 years and enjoyed hiking in the three sisters wilderness and cross country skiing. While in La pine they took up jogging and for three years participated in 10 K road races Diana won first place in her age group in every race she ran. It was at La Pine that Diana started quilting and found her favorite line of endeavor. In 1955 the couple moved back to Union to make their final home. She loved gardening and quilting. Her quilts won many awards, but most important to her were her quilting friends. She loved watching the Bobcat girls play basketball and softball and attended many games with her devoted Bobcat friend Brenda Younker. Both Don and Diana had strong opinions and their life drew many sparks but was never dull. Despite the sparks they persevered and their love grew ever stronger. She loved her family and her dog which she walked daily for 4 miles. Diana recently contracted cancer and after a short but intense and painful battle, succumbed on the 17th of March. Just one day before their 65th anniversary. Two days before herdeath,w hen she could no longerspeak or see to read,Don read hercard to her. Diana fought herdisease fiercely and never complained. She was the size of a kitten but had the heart of a lion. She waspreceded in death by herparents and herbrother Lloyd Bronson. She is survived by her husband Don of Union, daughter Denise Wood of Anchorage, Alaska, Dallas Wood of La Grande, Oregon, sister Nina (Bronsonl Duncan of Yoncalla, Oregon, her cherished granddaughter Camille and a host of nieces and nephews all of which she loved greatly.

sll iicen4 It sounds like a great deal, right? Reducing the state's carbon emissions. Battling the atmospheric carbon contributing to climate change. Being a national leader in environmental legislation at this time when drought is hangingheavy in many people's minds However, Gov. Kate Brown's signing of SB 324 is a raw deal for Eastern Oregon. SB 324 continues a law

originally passed in 2009 and signed by then Gov. Ted Kulongoski. The law requires fuel sellers in Oregon to either reduce carbon intensity in their fuels by 10 percent over the next decade or buy credits to oA'set higher carbon concentrations. The consequences hit close to home. Every Oregonian will pay more for fuel, and people in the rural areas of the state on average have less money to pay for fuel and more miles to drive. The legislation is ahidden gas tax that willhurt families, businesses, ranches and farms, especially in the rural areas of the state. The bill passed only because of enthusiastic Democratic majorities in both in the Oregon House and Senate. From the beginning, Democrats as a rule

loved the bill. Republicans hated it. And throughout deliberation, it seems, no evidence presented changed minds.

By passing the bill, Oregon joins regional leaders California and British Columbia in the fight to reduce carbon. But due to Oregon's small size, the

global eA'ects of its law will be negligible, and the law will do more harm than good. How much more we'll pay at the pump is up for debate. Some estimates have come in as high as$1 a gallon, and that has raised serious outcry. The most credible estimates of the bill's impact range from four cents per gallon to 19 cents per gallon. That's serious money for a region just now emerging from the Great Recession. Sure, gas prices now are lower than their historical

highs, which toppedout in 2008 at nearly $5 per gallon. But prices are on the upswing.And prices have more impact on Eastern Oregonresidents, who okenhave to travel long distances for such necessities as medical care. What's worse, the rise in gas prices will also impact the cost of food and other products in area stores. Grocery stores are notjust going to absorb rises in transportations costs but will pass them along to consumers. The median household income statewide is about

$7,000 a year higher in Oregon as a whole than it is in Union County. That means, once local drivers absorb the increase in gas prices, they will be less likely to support street, road improvements and gas tax increases to pay for it all. Signing SB 324 into law also jeopardizes a bipartisan transportation package that would fix roads and bridges and improve public safety. The new law will likely mean Union County drivers will pay more to drive on bumpier roads. The Legislature should have spent more time getting independent research that weighed costs versus benefits of SB 324. Trying to be a national leader on the issue without doing the proper homework could have unintended consequences.

leven years ago, I carried my infant daughter into a synagogue basem ent and plunged her tiny body,head to toe, underwater. She emerged sputtering and coughing, then wailing, and the procedure, immersion in a Jewish ritual bath called a mikvah, felt barbaric. But it was for an important reason: Her mother isn't Jewish, and by Jewish custom — and Israeli law — the faith is passed on by matrilineal descent, so I converted my daughter. Making sure she is Jewish in the eyes of the Jewish state gives me peace of mind. If the Gestapo ever comes again, she and her descendants will have a place to go. Just in case. Such a threat seems unimaginable now. There probably never has been a better time or place to be a Jew than in 21st century America. Yet there remains a deep sense of anxiety — some might say paranoia — hardwired into Jews by centuries of persecution. Israel, the Jewish state, is the antidote to this fear. The Law of Return, enacted by David Ben-Gurion's government in 1950, guarantees Israeli citizenship to all Jews who move to Israel. This was meant to guarantee that Israel would remain Jewish iPalestinians, controversially, are not granted this right) but it also meant that, after the Holocaust, and thousands of years of wandering, there was finally a place to which all Jews could go, and defend ourselves, if nowhere else was safe. This is why Benjamin Netanyahu's actions on the eve of this week's Israeli elections were so monstrous. In a successfulbid to take votesfrom far-right parties, the prime minister vowed that there would be no Palestinian state

DANA MILBANK SYNDICATEDCQLUMNIST as long as he's in charge. It was an unmasking of sorts, revealing what many suspected all along: that he had no interest in a two-state solution. Netanyahu backed otf that position atter the election, assuring American outlets NBC, NPR and Fox News on Thursday that he still backs a two-state solution, in theory. His backtracking seemed nominal and insincere, but even that gesture is reassuring, for abandoning the idea of a Palestinian state will destroy the Jewish state just as surely, if not as swiftly, as an Iranian nuclear

bomb. This is not a matter of ideology but of arithmetic. Without a Palestinian state, Israel can be either a Jewish state or a democracy, but not both. If it annexes the Palestinian territories and remains democratic, it will be roughly evenly split between Jews and Arabs; if it annexes theterritoriesand suppressestherights ofArabs,itceasesto bedemocratic. There are roughly 4.4 million Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, and another 1.4 million living inside Israel . That puts them in rough parity with Jews, who number just over 6 million. Higher Palestinian population growth and fertility rates indicate Jews will be a minority between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean in a few years. Some right-wing outfits contest these numbers and try to make the dubious case that Israel can annex the Palestinian territories and still survive as a

democratic Jewish state. Those were the type of voters Netanyahu was fishing for when he said before the election that he would not allow a Palestinian state — and when he warned on election day that"Arab voters are coming out in droves." But in the end there can be no democratic Jewish state unless there is also a Palestinian state. My fiiend Jetfrey Goldberg, in a powerful new article in the Atlantic on the tenuous future of Europe's Jews, recalled an event he attended in the fall with American Jewish leaders at Vice President Biden's residence. Biden, Goldberg recalled,told the story of a long-ago visit with Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, who told him that Israel's "secret weapon" was that the Jews "have no place else to go." "Folks," Goldberg quoted Biden as saying to the American Jews,"there is no place else to go, and you understand that in your bones. You understand in your bones that no matter how hospitable, no matter how consequential, no m atter how engaged, nomatte rhow deeply involved you are in the United States ... there's only one guarantee. There is really only one absolute guarantee, and that' sthe state ofIsrael." Goldberg thought Biden had "antiquated notions about Jewish anxiety." And it's true that Jews are safe and happy in the United States today — but that could change. This is why I plunged my baby in the mikvah. And this is why I was appalled by Netanyahu's disavowal of a two-state solution. Without two states, there won't be even one Jewish state if — God forbid — my daughter or her progeny someday have no place else to go.

ing on the season, the team grows from 10 teammates to more than 20 in an event, he said. While event winners win medals, Trice said every athlete gets a participation ribbon in his or her event, which helps the kids feel valuable to the team. The outcome of Special Olympic events are announced at local schools along with the schools' teams. "It's like any other program," Tricesaid.'These kids are getting the acknowledgment." Spangler said the Special Olympics program gave Remy the chance to get his energy out and gave him a team mindset. "I was really happy to see him have some kind of outlet for his abilities," Spangler said."He could utilize some ofhis energy. He's alwaysbeen a pretty activekid." Spangler said Remy was unsure and hesitant about being on a team at the beginning. "He was very quiet with everyone. He didn't participate a lot," she said."He'd show up and do the physical part but wasn't participating socially at first. After a few years, he opened up and was comfortable with his group. He's now at home with them. They tease each other all the time. He went from being completely silent to being completely at home."

The translator district provides 3,000 rural households with channels and can bill the customers who use the service.

Anyone with disabilities is welcome, but all athletes who join Special Olympics must go through a medical exam before joining the team, Trice said. The athletes have to be healthy enough to be on the team. "There are those with head traumas or neck injuries, or those with cognitive issues who wouldn't do well with the events," Trice said. However, he's had athletes who are visually impaired, in wheelchairs and everyone in between, all who have parti cipated and succeeded. Grosssaid the events are split according to the athletes' qualifications. For instance, they don't competeagainst peoplewho are a lot faster than them. They are grouped with athletes who are able to compete with them on the same level, Gross said. "The athletes are cheering each otheron,"Grosssaid."It'srealneat."

The program is open to those ages 6 and up, with competition beginning at 8 years old. As Spangler sees it, there isn't anything that should hold someone with a disability back from joining the group. 'There is nothing more gratifying than watching your child grow into independence," Spangler said. Gross said there's nothing like the feeling he has when Joey waves good-bye and goes to hang out with his teammates. Joey has friends on the team, and the Special Olympics gives him a sense of normalcy. 'The group here is a good group. Everyone cares about their athletes," Gross said. "It is an exceptional program. The volunteers all work really well with the athletes, and the staff is really good with them. I trust them with Joey's life."

Portland leads nation metro areas inbeing religiously unaffiliated By Meiissa Binder The Oregonian

Surprise, surprise: statistics show Portland is the most religiously-una51iated metro area in the United States. About 42 percent of residents in the City of Roses and surrounding suburbs

self-identify as religiously unaffiliated, according to a survey released this week by the Public Religion Research Institute. That's nearly 10 percentage points higher than Portland's West Coast peers and runner-ups Seattle and San Francisco, which both came

in at 33 percent. The"nones," as they're commonly called, are an amorphous group. In the Portland area, only about 4 percentofresidents are atheists, according tothe institute's survey. Roughly 8 percent are agnostic. So how do we get to 42

percent unaifiliated? A whopping 29 percent of Portlanders said their religion is "nothing in particular." That's about twice the sizeofthe next-largest minority: white evangelical Christians. "This is a fascinating group," said researcher Dan

Cox. Nationally, most people who identify as unaffiliated believe in a higher power of some kind, but say belief in God isn't necessary in order to be moral and have good values. They're young, socially liberal and usually believe in evolution. Most are more

concerned about religious groupsasserting their beliefs on others than about the government limiting religious freedom. The "nones" also tend to be fairly detached Cox said. They don't turn out for elections or connect to society in traditional ways.

The Union/Cove softball team made a bold statement in its first game. After 3A Echo/Stanfield 10-run ruled Heppner/Ione Monday, the 2A Lady Cats returned the favor, racing to abig early lead en route to a 15-4 road victory over Echo/Stanfield Thursday. "It was a great first outing for us," head coach Paul Phil-

lips said."All 12 girls played, and you couldn't tell it was our first game. It was a great first outing trom a coaching standpoint. We have some options with our depth. It was nice to get our first win." Keesha Sarman was the offensivestar,going 5-for-5 with two doubles, a triple and four RBI. "On her two singles she

Jaiden Wright went 2-for-4 with a double and a triple, and Ashten Wright had a pair of singles for Union/ Cove, which had 12 hits to Echo/Stanfield's five. The Lady Cats committed four errors, but Phillips chalked thatup to some over-aggressiveness in the opener. eWe tried to make some plays and turned a single into a triple," he said.eWe were just a little bit rusty, but the effort was there." The Lady Cats scored seven runs over the first two innin@ while holding EchorStanfield

scoreless. The hosts scored four runs combined in the third and fourth innings before Union/ Cove plated four in the fifihinning and two in the sixth and seventh innin@apiece to dose out the win. Jaiden Wright was the winning pitcher. She went fourinnings and gave up four runs on five hits while striking out three batters. Jenna Monson came in in relief and pitched the final three innings, giving up no hits and striking out four batters. eiMonsonl really looked good for us," Phillips said of the transfer in her first game forUnion/Cove."She came on and did a great job in relief.

he's hitting the ball really well," Luse said."I see him playing quite a bit, and he could take one of the starting positions." With the underclassmen pressing for playing time, the level of play for the en-

tire team should be ramped up a notch with competition all over the diamond. eWe'vegot some kids that have played specific positions in the past that are not goingtobeable to dothat because of the freshmen," Luse said."It's all about having these guys compete and havingthem fi ghtfor a spot. We'll see how well everybody steps up." While all teams have kinks they have to work out at the beginning of the season, Luse said the middle of the order should feature tough outs for opposing pitchers. One thing he won't have to worry about is the team chemistry. He said it's been a joy atpractice sofar and theplayers have rallied around each other. "The most important thing is our teamwork, and not having all the bickering and stuff," he said."This year it seems like the chemistry is great. The kids really like each other and it's so much fun versus years in the past. I toldthe kids we've gotto have some kind of fun or we're not going to be successful."

important. He said the key is to "firm up the defenseand build around them." Elgin/Imbler has to wait until Saturday foritsseason-opening doubleheader against Weston-McEwen/Griswold, but the players and coachesalike areready to getstarted. Having more outdoor practices than normal with the unusually warm spring has helped spur that attitude. "I would feel really confident taking them to a game tomorrow,"Griffin said. "I wouldn't mind, and they wouldn't either." That ready-to-go mentality will likely pay dividends when it's time for the Ravens to take on the best the Eastern Oregon League has to offer. Griffin expects Vale, which took second in state last year, to benear the top ofthe league again. He noted too that Nyssa is traditionally tough and has his eye still on last year's league champion, Enterprise/Joseph/Wallowa. "I'm not taking them lightly at all," he said.

WARM SPRINGS

Feds confirm investigation WesCom News Service

The U.S. Department of Interior's Office of the Inspector General confirmed Wednesday morning that it is conducting an investigation into alleged financial mismanagement of federal funds involving the ConfederatedTribes ofWarm Springs. The Bulletin filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of the Interior on Tuesday. Accordingto CristalGarcia, a government information specialist with the inspector general, that request was denied because it involves an ongoing investigation. 'Your request ... applies to recordsofinformation compiledfor law enforcement purposes," Garcia wrote in an email, "the release of which could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings." Late last month, the Warm Springs Tribal Council voted to contact the inspectorgeneral in regard to multiple accusations of mismanaged funds. Warm Springs' secretary-treasurer Jake Suppah estimated the tribeshave overspent more than $100 million the past 10 years, leaving the tribes in near financial ruin. Suppah has been on paid administrative leave since

Feb. 10, a move he alleges was made in retaliation for uncovering financial irregularities within the tribe. Eugene "Austin" Greene, the Warm Springs Tribal Council chairman, would not comment when reached by phone and hung up before any follow-up questions could be asked. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springsare a

sovereign nation — Oregon laws have no jurisdiction on the reservation — but the tribesdo accept federal money in the form of grants, givingthe inspector general authority to investigate those funds. The tribes are similar to a statein that tribalmembers pay federal taxes and are subjectto federal laws and regulations.

WIRE BRIEFING

First lady gets taste of Japan's ancient culture in Kyoto

Nation & World News

Nuclear deal between US and Iran drafted The United States and Iran are drafbng elements of a nuclear deal that commits Tehran to a 40 percent cut in the number of machines it could use to make an atomic bomb, officials told The Associated Press on Thursday. In return, the Iranians would get quick relief from some crippling economic sanctions and a partial lift of a U.N. embargo on conventional

Agreement on Iran's uranium enrichment program could signal a breakthrough fora largerdealaimed at containing the Islamic Republic's nuclear activities. The sides are racing to meet a March 31 deadline for a framework pact and a full agreement by the end of June — even as the U.S. Congress keeps up pressure on the administration to avoid any agreement leaving Iran with an avenue to become a nuclear power. Officials said the tentative deal imposes at least a decade of new limits on the number of centrifuges Iran can operate to enrich uranium, a process that can lead to nuclear weaponsgradematerial.Thesidesare zeroing in on a cap of 6,000 centrif uges,offi cialssaid, down from the 6,500 they spoke of in recent weeks.

Islamic State group claims Tunisia attack The Islamic State group claimed responsibility Thursday for the attack thatkilled 21 people at a museum. But Tunisian authorities said the two slain gunmen had no clear links to extremists, and analysts said existing militant cells are merely being inspiredby the group,rather than establishing its presence across North Africa. Police announced the arrest of ve fipeopledescribed as directly tied to the two gunmen whoopened fi reW ednesday at the National Bardo Museum. Four others said to be supporters of the cell alsowere arrested in central Tunisia, not far from where a group claiming allegiance to al-Qaida's North African branch has been active. Tunisians stepped around trails ofblood and broken glass outside the museum to rally in solidarity with the 21 victims — most of them foreign tourists from cruise ships — and with the country's fledgling democracy. Marchers carried signs saying,"No to terrorism," and'Tunisia is bloodied but still standing." In claiming responsibility for the attack, the Islamic State group issued a statement and audio on jihadi websites applauding the dead gunmen as"knights" for their "blessedinvasion ofoneofthe dens ofinfidels and vice in Muslim Tunisia." Severalwell-armed groups in neighboring and chaotic

Republicans in Congress advanced balanced-budget plans bristling with cuts in Medicaid and other benefit programs Thursday, determined tomake a down payment on last fall's campaign promiseto erasedefi citsby the end of the decade. Last-minute maneuvering to match Pentagon spending levels requested by President Barack Obama consumed GOP lawmakers in both the House Budget Committee and the counterpart Senate panel. Yet the GOPs focus also extended to deficit reduction, repealofthe health carelaw, an overhaul of the tax code and otherbudget priorities long advocated by conservatives in control ofboth houses of Congress for the first time in nearly a decade. "By demandingWashington live within its means, we areforcing government tobe more efficient, effective and accountable," Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., said after gaveling the House's version of the budget through its Budget Committee on a 22-13 party-line vote. The Senate budget panel, chaired by Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., followed suit a few hours later, on a 12-10 vote that also fell along party lines.

Soon after, Mrs. Obama left Japan, one ofAsia's richest nations, for Cambodia, one of Asia's poorest.

President Barack Obama and his wife recently announced the program, which will devote millions of dollars in aid to girls' empowerment

projects. "Does this kind of work sound exciting to you? If so, you should consider joining the Peace Corps," Mrs. Obama said in a travel blog posted late Thursday.'You can also make a difference by tutoring a classmate, or reading to a younger sibling, or volunteering through your schoolorplaceofworship." Cambodia is one of the 11 countries to be included in the"Let Girls Learn" program, which is beingrun by the Peace Corps, with support from counterpart organizations including the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers. This is Mrs. Obama's first visit to Japan, as she did not accompany the president on his state visit last year.

Woman cuts baby from mother's womb A Colorado woman accused of cutting open the belly of a pregnant woman and removing her unborn baby went to great lengths to show her family she was expecting a baby herself, even arranging to meet her husband for a pre-natal appointment on the day of the attack, authorities said. But when Dynel Lane's husband came home to get her, he found her covered in

blood and a baby gasping for breath in a bathtub. Lane told her husband she suffereda miscarriage,and he took her and the baby to a hospital, where she was later arrestedon suspicion ofattempted first-degree murder and other crimes. Police wrote in her arrest affidavit that she lured the pregnant stranger to her home with a Craigslis tad forbaby clothes and then cut her open. The gruesome case shocked Colorado and revived a highly charged debatein thatstate over when a fetus can legally be considered a human being. District Attorney Stan Garnett said he will wait for the results of an autopsy on the baby,planned forFriday, to determinewhen and how the baby died and what charges to file.

localsflockto chanterdanauet • More than 250 turn out for annual fundraising event Saturday night By Ronald Bond Wescom News Serwce

LA GRANDE — The Union/Wallowa chapter of the Oregon Hunters Association held its annual fundraising banquet March 14, with more than 250 people trom across the state — and even some from Washington and Idaho — taking in the food and festivities at the Blue Mountain Conference Center. Chapter president Morgan Olson said the event was much bigger this year due to better planning, and it brought in between $20,000

and $25, 000for the local

he day always starts early. Dawn welcomes those awake into its embrace with beauty and tranquility. Quiet reigns as the brisk air tickles both the lungs and nose hairs as individuals tromp forth to make the mountain safe for those who will follow. The quiet is punctuated by the squeak of the cable on the sheaves and the caw of the occasional crow. The ski patrol has started its day. The National Ski Patrol was founded in 1938 by Charles Minot"Minnie" Dole. In 1938, skiing was a relatively new and primitive pastime. It was formally introduced as a sport to the United Statesduring the media coverage of the Olympics at Lake Placid. Primitive equipment and clothing relegated avid skiers to be only the most athletic and adventurous individuals in an area. Dole strove to improve emergency carefor skiersfor tw omain reasons. The first factor was his own ski injury experience. The second catalyst was a skirace accident thatresulted in the deathofa good triend. Following its inception, five main geographic regions were organized, and many accomplished skiers joined the volunteer organization's ranks. When World War II began, Dole was positive that the National Ski Patrol was the

THE NEXT RIDE MAVIS HARTZ perfect place to locate tough, skilled individuals to help in the war effort. Many patrollers, including Dole, joinedthe armed forces.Most signed up directly to the 10th Mountain Division. The 10th Mountain Division was the only infantry division trained to fight in Arctic and mountainous regions. They were used mostly in Italy during WWII but are still an active division. Upon returning home, the soldiers shared what they had learned and greatly influenced the ski industry. The industry claims 2,000 returning 10th Mountain Division troops entered the industry to shape ski runs, build better equipment, make movies, patrol and organize instructing institutions. Tenth Mountain veterans founded at least 60 resorts. The National Ski Patrol has retained much of its military history in awards, ceremonies and membership. Often, modern veterans continue to use medic and crisis management skills to help others through the ski patrol. The camaraderie and purpose drive volunteers to make long-term commitments to National Ski Patrol. Many patroll ershave atleast10,othersas m any as 60,yearsofpatrolling service and afew good storiesto share.To

become a National Ski Patrol member, applicants must first pass a rigorous medically-oriented test. The classes start with human anatomy. Following a rudimentary introduction to the body systems, focus moves on to splinting and basic care. Simple things like making sure the area is safe, ensuring breathing is adequate and stopping blood loss are drilled into candidates. After the basic medical training is completed, the real fun starts. Just like the 10th Division, patrollers take things to the next level. Taking care of individuals in a warm, safe, controlled environment is not enough. National Ski Patrol members offer medical care in the ice and snow. Transporting patients in human-drawn sleds and carrying things while skiing is a whole other skill set. Sled running, patient lifting and a good nine-hour ski day are not for the faint ofheart. A patrol duty day starts early with securing the mountain for the public. This can entail some or all of the following: avalanche triggering, cornice stomping, groom smoothing, object marking, fence maintaining and enjoying a few first turns in the powder. The daygoes along aspatrollersoffer assistance to any who look like they might need help. Broken bindings, cold children and life-threatening injuries can all be part of the same day. Evening comes and the patrollers meet at SeeSki Patrol IPage 2C

WEEICLYFISHING REPORT

TO-DO LIST

Grande Ronde River steelhead fishing successful

Check out Taste of Nordic andPoker Ski

Steelhead anglers on the Grande Ronde continue to be successful with a variety of gear types. A healthy proportion of two-salt fish has resulted in a large average size this year, so expect a few larger fish and some screaming drags. Remember, only adiposefin clipped rainbow trout may be retained and all bull trout must be released unharmed. WALLOWA RIVER: steelhead, mountain whitefish The steelhead season is in full swing on theWallowa River. Fishing is good and there really is no good excuse to not be out there. Anglers are finding fish in good numbers and the ratio of two-salt fish to one-salt fish is high. This means there are a lot of larger fish available so oil your reels and make sure that drag is working well. Remember the Wallowa River is a whitefish factory. Whitefish can be a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing and can be great table fare.

WHAT'S FOUR FAIR SHARE?? What's the old adage?"You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but..." Not ever one has been fooledinto thinking that just because it is so "simple" to file a tax return electronically, they must have simplified the tax law! Collectively, we have spent hundreds of hours studying the new tax law changes and"surprise," it ain't simple!! Of course, not all of the changes apply to everyone — but everyone who files a tax return is going to be affected by some of the changes. Complexity isn't necessarily bad. We, as American Taxpayers, aren't nearly as concerned about the complexity of thelawas we areabouteve one a in t heir airshare and, ofcourse,howour governmentspendsourmoney. If it needs to be complex to be "fair," then so be it! So what's your "fair share?" The stated purpose of all these tax cuts has been to stimulate the economy. Are you stimulated? Are you getting your "fair share?" EBB OBTP 4800831

Inside the conference center, a table on the left held items to be doled out during a live auction that night. The auctioned items included art work, a scope, guided and unguided hunts and fishing trips, mentor-led hunts, a duck decoy and even fishbone earrings. The opposite side of the room held silent auction items, including more art work, another scope, an antler wine rack, a lamp and an obsidian knife.

"The big benefit of OHA is, all the money we raise here, we keep 75 percent here in Union/Wallowa counties, iandl 25 percent goes to state to help support state activities," Olson said, noting that other similar foundations are not able to all keep their funding local. OHA's scope of impact has greatly increased trom its humble beginnings as a campfire idea promoted to help protect wildlife, habitat and hunters in 1983. Today, it has more than 10,000 members in 27 chapters across the state, with most ofthestate represented,and has substantial pull when it comes tolegislation thatcan

We are captivated by trout. And we wonder why. Trout don't love us, they don't love one another and they don't do anything for their fellow trout, except by accident or by instinct. But the same could be said of art. We appreciate art for maybe the same reason we love trout. Let's see if the words — art and trout — are interchangeable. Wynetka Ann Reynolds might have said, "Anyone who says you can't see a thought simply doesn't know trout." For the last two summers, I've spent afternoons and weekends exploring back roads, backcountry and backwaters in streams and lakes down the flanks of Wy7ast for a book we called"Fishing Mount Hood Country." My co-author, Robert Campbell, covered most of the western water, and Ifi shedm oreof the east side. Early in the project, Campbell began to send close-upsoftrout — Veda Lake cutthroats, Timothy Lake brookies, Salmon River rainbows — in hand, going back into the water. The imagery seeped into my consciousness, and when I brought East Fork Hood River cutts, or Boulder Lake brooks, or Badger Creek 'bows to the bank, I began to look at each one as a pieceof art,ateach scale as a stroke of a brush. We seldom fished the same water twice during two summers on and off the mountain. We caught bass, sturgeon, steelhead and salmon, but the fish that defined the effort was the coastal cutthroat. That's how our Cascadehatchedcuttsare classified. There are many variations. The Clackamas watershed fish were different in coloration from Zigzag River fish, and in bigger lakes, trout colorationvaried, due to the microenvironments

they frequented. We might put the distinct differences down to genetics,habitat,food sources and light penetration. Wild fish in Hood River, where there are fewer trees above the water and the bottom is light, are bright and shiny. Fish in westsloping rivers with darker streambedsareoften tinted, an adaptation that helps them survive. While there are few resident rainbows near the mouth of the Clackamas, Campbell's exploration of the upperpart ofthatriver turned up big rainbows, part of a remnant strain thatcan grow to several pounds in that mountain w ater. Iplan toresearch that water again soon. If Goethe had been born to a fly-fishing family rather than to German drama, he might have written, "There is no surer method of evading the world than by following trout, and no surer method of linking oneself to it than by trout." We caught hatchery planters, of course, and the farther they were removed from the raceways, the better they looked. Holdovers, fish that had made it through a winter and gained inches and pounds, w ere the prettiest.W e might call them modern trout and appreciate them in that regard. John Anthony Ciardi could have said,"Modern trout is what happens when fishermen stop looking atgirls and persuade themselves they have a better idea." For me, one stream and one fish defined the project. A Still Creek cutthroat, about 9 inches long, took a dryfl y and threw the hook. The next fish was a bit smaller, but it shone in hand like treasure. I sent a picture to my friend Tye Krueger, and he drew it in every detail: a wild cutt with white tips on its fins and parr marks still visible on its sides.

Unfortunately, many of the patroll ers who started shortly after World War II or even Vietnam are currently being forced into retirement due to the march of time. Every year, more and more beloved patrollers are escorted off the mountain in a respectfulserpentine ofred coats sporting black ribbons. Remembered, cherished and missed: the number of patrollers is diminishing.

Family Fishing events to be a big catch WesCom News Serwce

SALEM — Oregon families are invited to come fishing at one of 33 sites around the state. This spring and summer, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife hosts fishing events that show how fun and easy fishing is. Loaner rods, reels and tackle are available, along with fishing instructions and a freshly stocked pond. The events are designed to show families how easy and fun fishing can be, said Shahab Farzanegan, ODFW anglereducation coordinator.

Fish and Wildlife provides loaner rods and reels, tackle, instruction and freshly stocked fish — everything a family needs for a successful fishing trip. Family Fishing Day in Northeast Oregon is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 11 at Jubilee Lake on the Umatilla National Forest. Children younger than 14 can fish for free. Kids 14 to 17 and adults will need an Oregon fishing license in order to fish. For families that can't attend one of the scheduled events, ODFW

offersseveral online resources: Easy Angling Oregon, with 101 greatplaces for families to fish in Oregon; Gearing Up, with rod, reel and tackle recommendations; Trout Fishing in Oregon, with insight on how to fish for trout in rivers and lakes; and Trout 365, a web page dedicated to catching trout in Oregon throughout the year. Visit the ODFW website, click on the 'Fishing' tab at the top of the page and select Where and How' from the menu.

FUNDRAISER Continued ~om Page1C another thing we're really focusing a lot on is getting youth involved. Without the youth being involved in hunting, we'll eventually be a dying breed. So we're really trying to incorporate a lot of youth folks and get them going in on the process and get them involved in hunting. It's a lot better than having them involved in drugs or anything else. "It goes into habitat projects, toim prove habitatfor wildlife, iandl it goes into research," Olson continued.aWe spent quite a bit of money last year on GPS collars for an antelope study that's going on down in Ontario, and they'reable to track those antelopevia GPS and fi gure out where they're going, know where they're migrating to, where they spend the winter, where they spend the summer, so we can better manage the habitat for those antelope." Further examples of OHA's work Olson noted arefence-building projects to help with animal-caused damage and predator control, to name a few. It's because of what OHA does for wildlife and hunters alikethat hasarearesidents like North Powder's Chris Heffernan and La Grande's Mark Penningerinvolved. Heffernan, owner of North Slope Hay and Farms, is a sponsor member who contributes to the group out of personal abundance. aWe're very fortunate and blessed to have a ranch with a lotofelk on it,sowe've been donating recently either youth hunts for elk and/or turkeys, for the kids, or women, or seniors, or wounded warriors, whoever the organization sees fit to give them to," he said.aWe let the organization decide. We just provide the opportunity." Penninger, a longtime friend and hunting partner of Heffernan, is a local professional wildlife biologist who is also an OHA member and appreciates what the group does for hunters and wildlife with the clout it has.

''When theyspeak, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission listens, because they gotiover 10,000lmembers, and it' sthebiggest,m ost influential group that gives advice and recommendations to the Fish and Wildlife Commission, and of course the commission are the ones that set the rules that Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife put into place." Both are also huge advocates of what OHA is doing with youth hunting, as they have teenage and adult children who are part of that next generation. "It's extremely important if the tradition is going to carry on," Penninger said. aWe have so much of our population that are now urbanites that have grown up in city-type settings or they've moved to the city and they maynothave a parent or a mentor that's going to introduce them to hunting. No one to teach people how to hunt or not having a place to hunt are two of the leading reasonswe aren'trecruiting more hunters into our ranks. So I think it's important that we not just help our own kids but our neighbor's kids or whoever needs some help ithat we) provide good ethical mentorship for those young people, oradults.There'sa lot of adults thatare in their30s that all of a sudden say, You, know, I'd like to get out and try this but I have no idea

where to start.' Folks like Chris and I are more than willing to help those people." Added Heffernan, "And what's really cool too is when they do it's like, Wow, how can I get me some more of this?' and 'How can I introduce my friends?' It's a lot of fun,it'scamaraderie, it'sappreciation, it's not just going out and killing" Even that aspect of the hunt the kill is a piece both said cannot and should not be taken lightly and requires instruction. "It's a really serious thing that we don't take lightly, and we try to teach our kids to not take rt hghtly, and when you take the life of an animal that is a pretty serious thing," Penninger said. "There's a lot of adrenaline that goes along with that and then the obligation to make sure you take good care of that feed and every time you eat it, you appreciate what our God-given land produces out here," Heffernan added. Olson and Stubblefield both noted growth as a key step for OHA as the organizationmoves forward. "Right now we're a little over 200 members for Union/ Wallowa counties," Olson said.aWe'd like to build that up toabout 350 to400 to build some more strength within the Union/Wallowa counties." There is also a fight for hunter rights that continues to be ongoing, and Stubblefield noted the importance

that could have on wildlife regulation. "Right now, we're fighting hard to get our dogs back to get the cougar population back in check," he said. "Predators have definitely run amuck since 1994." That was the year using hounds to hunt bears and cougars was outlawed in Oregon. Olson said the numbers have been difficult to manage since, explaining in an email that"without management... history has shown that we get wild swings in populationsofboth predators and game species." Both Penninger and Heffernan agree on the importance of managing the resources and also hope to see youth opportunities continue and even increase. "ODFW has made good strides in providing a mentor hunter program," Penninger said. "...But I think we can still make improvements in allowing kids to gettagsthat are otherwise difficult to get. Ican seesome improvements there, and I'd like to see this group continue on with emphasizing ethics of hunting, working hard for hunting, because hunting is not inherently an easy thing to do." Knowing what is going on within the hunting community and in the state and increasing teamwork among private landowners and public land managers is a point Heffernan added is highly important for the future. "Strength in numbers," he said.aWe need to stay together on this. If we don't, it can fly apart. That knowledge is huge. That's what will keep this all together and keep moving forward." It will be an important piece in allowing countless Oregon citizens to enjoy what the statehas tooffer. "Recognize that this thing we call natural resourcesand that's everything from grass to timber to wildlife, game and non-game species — and realize how sustainable it can be if it's managed right, and how fortunate we are to have an abundance of it in all the Pacific and Intermountain West, but specifically right here in our back yard," Heffernan said.

• Vashon Island near Seattle has one of the nation's lowest rates of childhood vaccinations By Erik Lacitis The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Every few years stories appear about Vashon Island, a woody community about an hour southwest of the city, and its high percentage of unvaccinated kids. Ithappened again afew weeks ago in the wake of reportsofmeaslesoutbreaks nationwide. Vashon and its20 percent vaccinationexempt rate made it everywhere from The New York Times to the UKs Daily Mail. Then the temporary publicity fades and this island of 11,000 goes back to the same old, same old. Which is: a deep divide between the pro and con camps that in most other ways are so much alike. Except that this time it got pretty vitriolic. The island is more educated, wealthier and whiter than the rest of the state. Parents here shop at the same Thrifbvay; their kids go to same public school and play in the same park leagues; they tend to have the same look. "I was even nervous about talking to you today," says Heidi HansPetersen, 41, who's in the pro-vaccine camp. "I felt like I was going to sti rthepot." HansPetersen is mom to Svea, a 4-year-old girl, and Ueli, a baby of 6 months. Her husband is Jeff HansPetersen, a doctor at a clinic on the island. The mom explains that because of Svea, she's particularly concerned about vaccinations. Svea was born prematurely at just over 1 pound. The little girl spent 4V2 months in the hospital before coming home. Doctorstold the parents that even though Svea had been vaccinated, they should be careful about being in public places where she could getinfected.

The poster asked, "Concerned about aluminum in vaccines?" It answered that aluminum enhanced a person's response to a vaccine and had been used safely for decades. And it pointed out that at 6 months, a baby feeding on breast milk had been exposedto about twice as much aluminum as a baby following a standard immunization schedule. The co-author of the Loop opinion piece is March Twisdale, who also partners in a blog called Vaccines and Beyond. She is 42, mother to two boys, Jordi and Roman, 13 and 16. Her husband, Jose Marquez, works in telecommunications. They have done some vaccinations, and not others. For chickenpox they took their boys to a"Chickenpox party," and Twisdale says they"developed naturally acquired immunity." They waited until the boys were 9 and 12 to give them a measles vaccine as part of the MMR imeasles, mumps and rubella) shots. Normally, it's recommended the first MMR be given at about 1 to 1V2 years.

Why wait so long? "The children were young and going through early brain development in those years. We did not want to exposetheirbodiesto vaccines," she says. And being among the unvaccinatedin a herd ofkids? Her boys were homeschooled, says Twisdale, with the older one now attending the local high school. ''We were not in an environment with a lot of people around. We did not travel internationally and did not have family members who travel internationally," she says. 'We don't hang out with people who are sick." The boys finally got the MMR vaccine when "we were considering taking advantageofthepublic school system, and considering traveling," she says. 'We did not want to bring it home to the community." Day, the school-district nurse, says she won't learn until next fall, when kindergartnersare enrolled,about what has happened to the vaccineopt-out rate. She is making contingency plans in case there is a measles outbreak, such as how to handle the exclusion from school of exposed kids. Day says she knows, "Without a doubt, we're a high risk for a measles outbreak." On this particular afternoon, a friend of Heidi HansPetersen's, Ginger Hamilton, 41, was visiting with her baby daughter, Brinley, and son, Grayson. Hamilton's husband, Rob, is an airline pilot, and grew up on Vashon. "It's a perfect placetoraise kids,"she says. But parents not vaccinating? "I don't think they're out to hurt their kids, or hurt my baby," says Hamilton."But they are putting my child at risk." She then adds,"We live in a close community. I'm going to be friends with these people for many years." She says she hopes her words came out right.

They did. But the divide isn't going away anytime soon.

To cookor not to cook: Eating raw foods

Continued ~om Page6C Vitamin D levels were measured from blood samplesand participants completedadepression symptom survey each week for five weeks. Many women in the study had vitamin D levels considered insufficient for good health, and the rates were much higher among women of color, with 61 percent of women ofcolorrecordinginsufficient levels, compared to 35percent ofother women. In addition, more than a third of the participants reported clinically significant depressive symptoms each week over the course of the study. "Itmay surprisepeople that so many apparently healthy young women are experiencing these health risks," Kerr said. As expected, the women's vitamin D levels depended on the time of year, with levels dropping during the fall, at their lowest in winter, and rising in the spring. Depression did not show as a clearpattern,prompting Kerr to conclude that links between vitamin D deficiency and seasonal depression should be studiedin larger groups of at-risk individuals. Researchers say the study does not conclusively show that low vitamin D levels cause depression. A clinical trial examining whether vitamin D supplements might help prevent or relieve depression is the logical next step to understanding the link between the two, Kerr said. OSU researchers already have begun a follow-up study on vitamin D deficiency in women of color. In the meantime, researchers encourage those at risk of vitamin D deficiency to speak with theirdoctorabout taking a supplement. 'Vitamin D supplements are inexpensive and readily available." Kerr said.'They certainly shouldn't be considered as alternatives to the treatments known to be effective for depression, but they are good for overall health." The research was supportedby grants from the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation's John C. Erkkila Endowment for Health and Human Performance and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

CBn Bve eal bene6ts, but so can cooking Sixthcase By Ellie Krieger Special to The Washington Post

Eating raw food used to be something you did without a second thought, like munching a stalk of celery or snacking on a banana. But now"eating raw" gets quotation marks, describing a movement that proponents claim holds the key to weight loss and optimal health. If the proliferation ofraw food products at the health food store is any indication, it's a trend that has gotten a serious foothold. For someone who can hardly imagine getting through the winter without a steaming hot bowl of soup just about every day, going totally raw sounds like a chilling proposition. But there are some benefits to eating foods in their uncooked state that are worth exploring.

the food's nourishing power. iMore on that in a minute.) But food could be dehydrated ata low temperature or be slightly warm to the touch and still be considered raw.

The enzyme equation

Cooking does destroy enzymes in foods, and that can make a difference in nutritional potency. The cruciferous vegetables Brusselssprouts and broccoli, for example, contain enzymesthat activate certain antioxidantsin the vegetables.Cooking destroys these catalysts and thus reducesthe power oftheprotective nutrients we ingest. But far from rendering the food "dead," as many raw advocates claim, cookingalso increases our absorption of other valuable nutrients, such as the lycopene in tomatoes. Plus, many What is'raw food'? foodenzymes are theoppositeof You might think the answer is helpful; some make nutrients harder obvious, but there are nuances, and it forourbodiestoabsorb,sowe actudepends on whom you ask.

chemical reactions; rather, they are simply broken down by the acids in our digestive tract.

Raw benefits Raw foods retain more vitamin C and many B vitamins, as well as the goodbacteria in foodslike sauerkraut that are all destroyed with heat. Also, eating raw eliminates the possibility of the harmful compounds produced when food is cooked at high temperatures, such as the advanced gylycation end products that form when food is browned. AGEs can accumulatein ourbodiesifeaten in excess. They increase inflammation and are linked with signs of aging, heart disease and diabetes. Perhaps most important, eating produce raw means you are consuming it in its most unprocessed form, which is usually a good thing from a health standpoint. Take an apple, for example. Eaten fresh, it is full of phytonutrients, minerals and fiber. Peeled and cooked down to applesauce, it loses much of its nutritional value but still has some benefits. Take it a step further by smothering it in pastry and sugar for a pie and you have another ballgame entirely — good, yes, but not nearly as good for you.

My guess isthat'sa big reason many raw foodists find they lose weight and feel better: They eat more unprocessed, whole produce and less pie and the like.

The upside of cooking But cooking has its pluses, too. Heating foods actually concentrates and activates some antioxidants, making them more potent and more easily absorbed. That's why tomato sauce has considerably more antioxidant oomph than fresh tomatoes and why cooked carrots are richer in beta-carotene than raw. Also, cooking breaks down plant cell walls, and that, as I mentioned, releases many nutrients, making them more available to our bodies fordigestion.Heating produce also makes the fiber more soluble, which helpsregulate blood sugar and digestion. And, importantly, cooking destroys many harmful bacteria.

The bottom line Raw and cooked foods each offer distinct benefits, so don't think of it as an either-o rproposition. Mix it up, sticking to minimally processedoptions,and eatmo re produce in general. How about soup

lowlevels of vitamin8, desression

By Lisa Britton For the Baker City Herald

helsey Loftus' audience is as attentive as can be — until the plastic food comes out, then every little hand wants a turn. Loftus, a registered dietician at Saint Alphonsus Medical Center in Baker City, gave a talk about nutrition this week to several classes of the Baker YMCA preschool, which enrolls youngsters from ages 3 to 5. Her presentations weren't coincidental — March is National Nutrition Month. During her talk, Loftus introduced the preschoolers to "My Plate," which replaced thefood pyramid severalyears ago. ''When we eat,we don'teatin a pyram id, we eat on a plate,"Loftus said."Itis easier to visualize." The plate is divided into four sections — fruits, vegetables,grains and protein. Dairy is included as a separate cup. She kept it simple for the students, first explaining what "nutrition" means. "Food is yummy and healthy" came the enthusiastic reply. Then out came the plastic food — fish, a peach, beans, eggs and more — and the children were asked to guess where the items weresupposed to goon the plate. Afterward, the preschoolers were treatedto a yogurt parfait and encouraged toscoop the yogurt,raspberries and granola by themselves. This snack, Loftus told the students, is one that can be prepared without a lot of utensils or the stove. A good resource about nutrition is the website www.choosemyplate.gov. In addition to the basic information, there are items especially for children, such as making seasonal snacks that are fun to eat ione example: a sandwich snowman, popcorn as snow and a tree made with a pretzel trunk and green pepper

From Pyramid to Plate On June 2, 2011, First Lady Michelle Obama and USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack released the federal government's new food icon, MyPlate, to serve as a reminder to help consumers make healthier food choices. MyPlate is a new generation icon with the intent to prompt consumers to think about building a healthy plate at meal times. The MyPlate icon emphasizes the fruit, vegetable, grains, protein foods, and dairy gi'oups. MyPlate illustrates the five food groups that are the building blocks for a healthy diet using a familiar image — a place setting for a meal.

CORVALLIS — A new study from Oregon State University suggests there is a relationship between low levels of vitamin D and depression in otherwise healthy young women. OSU researchers found that young women with lower levels of vitamin D were more likely to have clinically significant depressive symptoms over the course of a five-week study, lead author David Kerr said. The results were consistent even when researchers took into account other possible explanations, such as time of year, exercise and time spent outside. "Depression has multiple, powerful causes and if vitamin D is part of the picture, it is just a small part," said Kerr, an associate professor in the School of Psychological Science at OSU."But given how many peopleare affected by depression, any little inroad we can find could have an important impact on public health." The findings were published recently in the journal Psychiatry Research. Coauthors are Sarina Saturn of the School of Psychological Science; Balz Frei and Adrian Gombart of OSU's Linus Pauling Institute; David Zava of ZRT Laboratory and Walter Piper, a former OSU student now at New York University. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for bone health and muscle function. Deficiency has been associated with impaired immune function, some forms of cancer and cardiovasculardisease,said Gombart, an associate professor ofbiochemistry and biophysics, principal investigator with the Linus Pauling Institute and international expert on vitamin D and the immune response. People create their own vitamin D when their skin is exposed to sunlight. When sun is scarce in the winter, people can take a supplement, but vitamin D also is found in some foods, including milk that is fortified with it, Gombart said. The recommended daily allowance of vitamin D is 600 IU per day. There is no established level of vitamin D sufficiency for mental health. The new study was prompted in part because there is a widely held belief that vitamin D and depression are connected, but there is not actually much scientific researchout there to supportthebelief, Kerr said. "I think people hear that vitamin D and depression can change with the seasons, so it is natural for them to assume the two are connected," he said. Accordingto Kerrand hiscolleagues, a lot of past research has actually found no association between the two, but much of that research has been based on much older adults or special medical populations. Kerr's study focused on young women in the Pacific Northwest because they are at risk ofboth depression and vitamin D insufficiency. Past research found that 25 percent of American women experience clinical depression at some point in their lives, compared to 16 percent ofm en,for example. OSU researchers recruited 185collegestudents,allwomen ages 18-25,to partici pate in the study atdifferenttimes during the school year. SeeVitamin D/Page 5C

'Nashville' actors return to the concert route Several stars of "Nashville" aren't only playing country-music stars on television, they're actually living the life. Last year, ABC's "Nashville: On the Record" episode showcased the actors performing for a concert audience in the title city, and they also took that show to Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. Part of that history repeats as the nerwork airs the new "Nashville: On the Record 2" Wednesday, March 25, with Charles Esren, Clare Bowen, Chris Carmack, Will Chase, Aubrey Preples,JonathanJackson and Sam Palladio among those displaying the vocal talents they also apply to the drama series. They share Nashville's legendary Grand Ole Opry stage with actual country royalty, too, in the hour taped at the end of January. Rcba McEntire oAers her single "Going Out Like That;" and Deana Carter joins Esren on a song they co-wrote, "I Know How to Love You Now." "From the very beginninp," the friendly Esten notes, "I said, 'This show is not a dream come true for me. It's multiple dreams come true.' I started out as a musician back in college, and I wasn't sure what I was going to do,

always thinking I'd be able to do the music along the way. Early on, I got to play Buddy Holly in a stage production and got to do some song improv, but it never really came together like this has. It's just heaven for me right now." Popular among "Nashville" fans as Rayna's (Connie Brinon) once-and-again love Deacon, Esten — who goes by the nickname "Chip" — reports he met his then-future singing-songwriting partner Carter "on a flight, and her kids were fans of the Disney Channel show 'Jessie,' on which I played the dad. That's how she knew me, and I knew her, of course. And we kept threatening to write together, and we finally got to." The result of their collaboration became a part of"Nashville," which is now in its third season. Esten recalls, "Ca)lie Khouri, the great writer-creator of the show (and Oscar-winning writer of the 1991 movie 'Thelma 8< Louise'), came to me and said, 'I'm about to write a scene where Deacon proposes to Rayna. Is there anything you think you'd like to say?' And I said, 'Well, it's a funny thing you should say that ....' " Esten mentioned the just-written sonp, and Khouri's "eyes lit up and she said, 'Can we use that?' And I thought; 'Uh-oh.' " Not onlywas Esten pleased to perform "I Know How to Love You Now" on the series, he's happy to team with Carter in rendering it on the new "On the Record" episode. "She and Rcba are just who they are," he says, "very kind and welcoming and open. Over Christmas, Reba had a party, and we were sitting side-by side by the piano singing carols with friends. You're definitely pinching yourselfwhile all of this is going on."
