'They were all enthusiastic about what can happen out here," he said. About a dozen people turned out for the meeting, where they had preliminary discussionsabout organization and goals for Buffalo Peak. Primarily, Howard said, he wants to implement a 10yearplan forthegolfcourse, something he said has not previously been done.

A years-ol d battleto use effective noxious weed killers on the forest may come to a conclusion soon if a new plan by the WallowaWhitman National Forest can appease a federal judge. Last week, a draft supplemental statement was released to assuage the Ninth District Court and the plaintiffs in a lawsuit over concerns of the cumulative effects ofherbicide use. In 2010,the forest released an environmental impact statement in compliance with direction from both the agency's Pacific Northwest regional headquarters in Portland and its Washington, D.C., office to updateweed control methods.

The county also asserts that the evaluation of the impactsoftheproposed route on federally managed lands weights the process toward siting on private lands. A greater range of proposed alternative routes in the Durkee area should have been produced and explored, ac-

cording to the county's letter. "The Durkee Valley is surrounded by lands managed bytheBLM, and yetthe routes proposed through that areaareprimarily proposed to cut a swath 250 feet wide through working agricultural lands, and the impact to the naturaland human environm ent for thoseprivate lands is not considered fully, while resource concerns on federally managed land'trumped' many of the alternatives the area residents tried to pro-

In the letter Bennett and Kerns assert that the summary of the project goal iproviding electrical load capacity between the Pacific Northwest and Southwestern Idaho, alleviating existing transmission constraints and ensuring suffIcient capacity to meet present and future demands) is vague and nebulous.

Their reasoning is that there is no need for Idaho Power to be the entity responsiblefortheprojectgoalnor have they demonstrated how thatgoaltranslatesfora need forthisparticularproject.

This year's plan — and yes, every couple years there is a new plan — is to attach the Secure Rural Schools Act extension in the U.S. House to a Medicare bill. We applaud our representatives on Capitol Hill. They have worked tirelessly to secure this vital

funding.PeoplelikeRep.GregW alden and Sen.Ron Wyden seem to have unending patience in playing this political game. We don't. However the extension got passed, it is a must for Northeast Oregon roads and schools. And it's needed because of federal forest policy that has made the forest that surrounds us seem to be more a burden than an asset. The funding is important. Critical, even. During the 2013 fiscal year, Union County received$933,000

in funding and Wallowa County$1.2 million through the Secure Rural Schools Act. As Wyden says, this is a lifeline for Oregon counties formerly dependent on timber revenues. Since the act was authorized in 2000, it has paid $2.8 billion to rural Oregon counties, not as a form of welfare but as a form of providing essential services. The point of the program is to compensate counties for funding not longer available through timber receipts. With logging by and large curtailed on much of the national forest, and public lands making up large portions of our land mass, local counties have to struggle to make up the difference. As Walden says, the time has come for change. It's time toreform federalforestpolicy.It' s tim e to create more logging and mill jobs, especially ones tied to forest health. Especially in years like this, with the likelihood of drought hanging heavy, how great would it be to create family-wage jobs that would help make our forests less susceptible to the devastation of wildfires and bring in necessary revenues to our communities? W e'd love to have enough money coming in to have stable funding for roads and schools. Federal policy needs to change to make that happen. In the meantime, the Secure Rural Schools Act, a stopgapmeasure passed in 2000,needs to be made more permanent. There's no reason we should be a pawn every couple years in this political chess match.

But instead of raising their prices, Apple has cut them because "profits attract imitators and innovators."Which is one reason why monopolies come and go. When John D. Rockefeller began selling kerosene in 1870, he had approximately 4 percent of the market. By 1890, he had 85 percent. Did he use this market dominance to gouge consumers? Kerosene prices fell from 30 cents a gallon in 1869 to 6 cents in 1897. And in the processofbeing branded amenacing monopoly, Rockefeller's Standard Oil made gasoline so cheap that Ford found a mass market for Model T's. Monopoly profits are social blessings when they"signal to the ambitious the wealth they can earn by entering previouslyunknown markets."So"when the wealth gap widens, the lifestyle gap shrinks."

Brain requested information about the purpose of the committee or board, whether they are actively meeting, how manymembers are sittingin the group, how vacancies are filled, how appointments are made, where the meetings are held, and when and ifthey're open to the public. She wanted as much information as possible about the committees' members, what their responsibilities are and whether it's an active group. "My reason for requesting this information be made public is to strengthen our local democracy by encouraging public involvement in it," Brain said."I believe there will be some challenging changes in the future, social changes, economic changes, climate changes. If we are to be resilient, we need to begin now to make sure our democracy is working well." Union County Commissioner Jack Howard said what was posted on the

They're changing all the time, but I can't think of a reason why we wouldn't list it." McClure said the comm ittees and boards are held under the same laws and regulations as the county commissioners — the meetings are open to the public and the community has a right to know who's serving on them. Commissioner Mark Davidson said one reason why names aren't posted on the website isbecause there are simply too many serving on a committee and that would take up a lot more room. "Some committees have 19 members, others have 11 or 10 members," Davidson said."The information is available to the public if they'd like, but it doesn't seem necessary to list the names."

If there was 100 steps, then we reached about 60 to 70." Howard said the information that's now posted lists the committee, how many people are on the board or committee, the job titles of members, but not the names of committee members. Commissioner Steve McClure said information regarding who sits on the committee, though, is available to the public but one thing the county needs to work on is updating the information on the website.

The money will be used to install light-emitting diode — or LEDlights at all five La Grande District schools. The money will cover the purchase of the LEDs and the retrofitting and purchase of light fixtures for them. Almost all of the lights will be installed outdoors at the five schools. 'This will improve building security at night," said La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze. LED lights are much more efficient than standard light bulbs.

the installation of the LED lights will save the La Grande School District an estimated $1,611 a year in energy costs. The grant will be supplemented by about $9,000, which the school district will receive from OTEC in the form of a rebate,said Lara Petitclerc-Stokes, OTEC'S manager of communications and government afFairs. Glaze said the funding the district will receive is a credit to a number of people including Chris Panike, the schooldistrict'sdirectorofbusiness and operations, and Nancy Van Sickle of

Historically, Buffalo Peak has never become the economic driver many hoped it would be.

Union County Commission Chair Mark Davidson said he believes it's important to reduce the deficit and work toward self-suKciency. '%e've been paying not only the capital indebtednessbutalso theoperational shortfall," he said. When Howard took office at the beginning of the year, he inherited the Buffalo Peak assignment from former Commissioner Bill Rosholt. Howard, though not a golfer himself, said he feels lucky to be working with the golf course, which he said has been"underused for over a decade now." Howard envisions Buffalo Peak as a place not limited to golfers but one that will be inviting for families and friends to simply hang out. There are a number of other opportunitiesfor the property,he said, including the possibility for housing developments and more events — that may not

House Bill 5017 would fund full-day kindergarten for the first time in the state's history afterdecades oftalk aboutthe topic. It would also set aside more money to allow students who qualify for reduced-price lunchesto eatforfree. The bill now heads to the House and Senate floors, where Republicans say they will vote against it and Democrats will likely use their majorities in both chambers to pass it. Republicans say the minimum amount thegl support

is $7.5 billion, saying they agree with school groups and teachers unions that the budget doesn't keep up with rising costs. But Democrats said by passing the budget early, they give certainty to school districts that are in the midst of drafling their budgets. That certainty is rarely sent from the Legislature, Democrats said, which is why they're moving quicldy to pass the bill. "I know it's not perfect. I know it's not enough. But it's the best we can do right now. It's the best certainty we can give our school districts right now," said Sen. Rod Monroe, D-Portland. The bill includes a promise that if more revenue becomes available in the May revenue forecast, 40 percent ofthe unexpected money would be automatically added to the K-12 budget. '%e know that this is not a game-changing budget, but it's a stability budget for districts throughout the state," House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, told reporters this week.

House Bill 5017 would set aside $6.9 billion from the general fund and $342 million from lottery funds to go to K-12 education in 2015-17. HISTORY School groups say the $7.255 billion budget isn't high enough to keep up with rising costs. Republicans say the least they can support is $75 billion, with some calling for $8 billion for K-12. But Democrats say their budget funds all-day kindergarten and puts $600 million more into education and includes a promise of more money if it becomes available this session.

But they said funding all-day kindergarten will pay ofF, and that there could be more money coming later this session. "I am frustrated like they are because this current budget is not enough to make up for years of cuts and what's come before," said Rep. Tobias Read, D-Beaverton, who added"this is a floor; it's not a ceiling. It's not enough, but it's a good start." The Legislature is taking a new approach in its budgeting this session, with the state's co-budget writersreleasing a budget framework earlier than ever in January.

Eastern Oregon University catcher CassieWendt is off to a sizzling start to her senior season. Wendt is alone in first in the Cascade Collegiate Conference in batting percentage, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

The Oregon and Oregon State baseball teams both continue action this weekend. The Ducks begin a three-game road series against Pac-1 2 opponent Arizona tonight, while the Beavers entertain Cal Poly in a nonleague series which also begins tonight.

After picking up just four wins in 2014, the Wallowa Cougars baseball team is looking to improve as it brings back players with experience — something the Cougars lacked a season ago. "Last year we had no experience. This year we have some," second-year head coach Tom Wenke said. Wallowa returns six players who were on the team last season, led by senior infielder and pitcher Gareth Murray and junior infielder, pitcher and part-time catcher Noah Allen, who will split time behind the plate with freshman Cameron Salmon. a(Garethl can play all nine positions," Wenke said ofhis senior."He's kind oflike your quiet, easy going, mellow kid. He definitely leads by example. He excels in all the sports he plays." The Cougars also have four players new to the field this spring, including senior Micah Fuller. a dual-sport athlete who is also out for track. Wenke described him as a player SeeWallowa/Page 9A

in football and hoops they have pulled off in the past. Kentucky is a monster this March. "They did what they had to do," West Virginia forward Devin Williams said.'You can't stop something that's destined." With stunning ease, the Wildcats took apart the Mountaineers i25-10l, who led the nation in steals and figured their full-court press would at least bother Kentucky into some turnovers. Not only did the press not work, West Virginia shot only24.1percent i13 of54lagainst the Wildcats, who resemble a forest ofblue-tinted redwoods inside the paint. West Virginia didn't eclipse 20 points until the 11:41 mark of the second half. The Wildcats were fueled by comments made Wednesday by West Virginia freshman guard Daxter Miles Jr., who predicted the Mountaineers would end Kentucky's title run. Some of the Wildcats said they wanted to win by 50. ''Well, that didn't come from me lis, the Wildcats i37-Ol jumped to an 18-2 lead, built it to 26 in the first because that's not how I coach," half and advanced to Saturday's Kentucky's John Calipari said."I regional final to play third-seeded mean, what, someone's going to come in and say we're going to lose Notre Dame.

There was no escape for West Virginia, no place to hide. The Wildcatswere as advertised: toobig,too strong,tooeverything. Just too good. Perfect and pulverizing. Trey Lyles scored 14 points, Andrew Harrison added 13 and the unbeaten Wildcats, chasing history and a ninth national title, made their 37th straight win look easy, blowing past the Mountaineers 78-39 on Thursday night in the Midwest Regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. 'They were what I thought they were,"West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said.'That's the best defensive team I think that I've ever coached against.

CLEVELAND — Demetrius Jackson scored 20 points and third-seededNotre Dame blitzed the Shockers in the second half of a surprisingly easy 81-70 victory Thursday night in the Midwest Regional semifinal to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time in 36 years. The Irish i32-5l shot 75 percent i18 of 24l over the final 20 minutes, overwhelming the seventh-seeded

Five years ago in the Elite Eight, West Virginia stunned a top-seeded Kentucky team that's a lot like this one, loaded with high school AllAmericas and future NBA players. But the Wildcats weren't going to let that happen again, and they blistered the Mountaineers in the opening 20 minutes. Aaron Harrison scored 12 points in the first half, Devin Booker dropped two 3-pointers and Marcus Lee and Willie Cauley-Stein took turns soaring to convert alley-oop passes into dunks that had West Virginia fans longing to take the country road back home. Dakari Johnson scored 12 points and Cauley-Stein added 10 rebounds for Kentucky, which hasn't faced Notre Dame in the tournament since 1970. Juwan Staten scored 14 points to lead West Virginia. West Virginia's players promised they wouldn't be intimidated by

The 38-18 burst that turned a tight game into something else entirely came after Wichita State took its first and only lead on a layup by Darius Carter with 16:37 to go. Jackson drilled a 3-pointer on Notre Dame's next trip down then added another one moments later. After that, the Irish were gone. The lead ballooned to as many as 19 points before the Shockers

settled themselves. By then, it was far too late. "I've neverseen a 1-pointlead get out ofhand so quickly,"Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said."Itdid tonightbecause of their fire power." Pat Connaughton added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Notre Dame andJerian Grant had nine points and 11 assists as the Irish won their eighth straight. Fred VanVleet led Wichita State with 25 points and Carter had 22 points while playing on the home court of distant cousin LeBron James but the Shockers simply couldn't keep up with the sharpshooting Irish. Wichita State appeared ready to take control after surviving an early first-halfbarrage then Carter's layupput them ahead.The Shockers — eyeing a rematch with the Wildcats in the regional final after Kentucky ended the Shockers' perfectseason lastspring — were caught flat-footed as Notre Dame put on a show. Once Grant decided to become a distributor after missing all five of his first-half shots, the Irish soared. Notre Dame hit eight straight shots at onepointtopropelthe Irish to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1979, when Bill Laimbeer, Orlando Woolridge and Kelly Tripucka fell to Magic Johnson and eventual national champion Michigan State.

Arizona, Wisconsin both win to set up rematch The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Just when Arizona appeared to be in serious trouble against underdog Xavier, T J. McConnell sparked his Wildcats back to the brink of the Final Four. McConnell scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half, freshman Stanley Johnson added 12 points, and second-seeded Arizona made a dominant late rallyfor a 68-60victory over sixth-seeded Xavier in the West Regional semifinals on Thursday night. Kaleb Tarczewski had 12 points and 12 rebounds

ending 19-7 run. With its third Elite Eight berth in five years, Arizona gets another shot its first Final Four under coach Sean Miller, who led Xavier for five years until 2009. The Wildcats will face topseeded Wisconsin i34-3l on Saturday at Staples Center in a rematch oflast season's West final. "It's almost asifwe had a summer to think about it, and we have to somehow make thatto our advantage," Miller said. Matt Stainbrook had 17 points and 10 rebounds in his final game for Xavier, which fell just short of its first trip to the Elite Eight since 2008. Those Musketeerswere coached by Miller and assistant Chris Mack,

WENDT Continued from Page 8A Montana State-Billings with a tworun homer for the eventual gamewinner in an 8-7 victory. Perhaps her signature moment to this point, however, came at home last Friday against No. 16 Concordia University. With the Mountaineers trailing by a run and down to their final out, Wendt blasted a two-run walkoff dinger over the centerfield wall for a 6-5 victory. "That was the most amazing experience ever,"Wendt said."I had two strikes on me. They had been throwing me that changeup all day and I just couldn't handle it. Finally, I saw the changeup come in fat and just drove it out. I was pretty excited. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face." Doing that against a top-25 team in the NAIA solidified her position as a sluggerto befearedby opponents. "It's extremely important to have someone like that in your lineup," Westermann said."She's seeing a lot more teams trying to pitch around her. That's good for us because she's in the other team's brain. When that happensit'sm orelikely tocreate errorsiandlmore likely forusto score runs. So it's very crucial for us, and she'sdone a greatjobin thatrole." Wendt said her start has instilled a great deal of confidence, which in turn directly led to her becoming one ofthecoreleadersforthe Mounties. "I've been able to kind of take on that role now," she said.'We have a really good group of girls that listen and respect everyone,especially the seniors, and they're willing to learn from us."

who replaced his boss. Xavier moved ahead early in the second half and led 53-49 with seven minutes remaining — but with their season in danger, the Wildcats finally went to work. Arizona's sizable crowd awoke as the Wildcats made an 11-2 run that included a 3-pointer from McConnell with 4:18 to play. Even more importantly, Arizona held the Musketeers without a ieldgoalforan 8:35 stretch f in the final minutes after getting shredded on the interior earlier in the game.

Her coach, in particular,hasnoticed the commanding presence in the locker room Wendt now possesses. "I think that her gaining that confidence has helped her become more of a vocal leader,"Westermann said."She's definitely a workhorse. She's one of the players that's working the hardest in the weight room. She's always running through her sprints and she's taking those extra cuts." That weight room work has been one of the main reasons for Wendt's success. She said she began lifting during her sophomore year but dedicated herself completely to the gym following her junior season. The dividends paid offimmediately. "I spent pretty much my entire summer in the weightroom, running the stadium stairs, running hills," Wendt said.'The weight room does wonders. My power that I generate all comes fi'om the weight room." Along with the added strength, Westermann also attributes her banneryearto am oredisciplined approach in the batter's box. "I honestly believe it's her learning that she doesn't have to swing at just a strike,"Westermann said."She's swinging at strikes that she wants to be swinging at and she's swinging to drive through the ball. But her work in the weight room and all the extra things that she does over the summer, all the stuff she does in preseason and in season — all of that is contributing to it. She's a great kid iandl a great athlete. I'm just really happy this is happening for her in her senior year." Having a senior at such an important position like catcher is also something Westermann relishes this year. She also is aware Wendt will be

Marcus Paige hit consecutive3-pointers thatdrew Carolina within one with 54 seconds to go, but Wisconsin made all eight of its free throws — four by Kaminsky — over the closing seconds. "Everyone knows that once we get to free throw time at the end of the game, we've got to make our free throws or they're going to come down and score," Kaminsky said.'We've been through that a lot this season with situations like that. So it's just nice to be able to go out there and do it."

Wendt reaches third base after a base hit in the third inning Wednesday againstWhitworth University.

Continued from Page 8A Eastern first baseman Marisa Gonzalez went 2-for-2 withatwo-run homer,and catcher Cassie Wendt added the other base hit for the team. The Pirates wasted no time getting the offense going against Eastern starting pitcher Lindsey Walchli. With one out in the first inning, Wessel bounced an RBI single through the infield for the first run. Consecutive walks loaded the bases, and Kelsey Stroshine hit a ground ball to Eastern shortstop Haley Hess, who attempted to get the lead runner out at home. Her throw was off-target and two Whitworth runs came home on the error. The nextbatter,Batastini,laced a two-run double into the left-center field gap to make it a five-run game and chase Walchli. AfterMcMahon added to the lead with her solo shot in the second inning, Eastern began to mount a comeback in the bottom half of the third inning. Third baseman Samantha Scott drew a twoout walk, and Wendt blistered a single into left field. The left fielder McMahon allowed the ball to go under her legs for an error and Scott came all the way around to score. Gonzalez came up next and crushed the first pitch she saw for a two-run shot over the right-field wall to slice the lead to 6-3. But Whitworth stopped the momentum in its tracks in the top of the fourth. The first two batters reached on singles and Wessel lined a shot into center. Eastern's Shelby Baertsch dove for the catch but just missed it, and both runners came home on the triple. Whitworth added another run in the frame on a groundout and tacked on two more in the fifth inning. The second game was more of the same. Whitworth had 13 hits to Eastern's four, with Wessel notching three hits and a two-run home run. McMahon added three RBI as the Pirates pulled away with three runs in the final two innings to seal the six-run win. Baertsch had a solo homer in the fifth inning for the lone Mountie run.

OREGON IN BRIEF Erom wire reports

Deschutes County resumes rapid growth BEND — Thepopulation of Deschutes Countyin Central Oregonis gmwingrapidly, faster than any other countyin the state and faster than all but a few metro areas nationally. The Bend Bulletin reports the county had a population estimated at more than 170,000 as of July 2014, an increaseof2.67 percent from the previous July. That's the seventh-fastest rate among U.S. metro areas. Most of the increase was from people moving in, more than 4,400. The county's population growth the previous year was nearly as rapid. Multnomah County's population, largest in the state, grew 1.4 percent last year. The populations in Crook and Jefferson counties in Central Oregon grew 1 percent and 1.7percent,respectively.

Man pleads guilty to abusing babysitter PORTLAND — A Multnomah County man has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 16-year-old baby sitter last summer. The girl's mother called Gresham pol iceSept.28after her daughter disdosed she had sex with a couple numemus times in the months she had been baby-sitting for them. Troy Cawvey pleaded guilty Thursday to sex abuse and encouraging child sex abuse. The 26-year-old had facedchargesrelated to videotaping the acts on his cellphone, but those were dropped in a plea deal with prosecutors. The terms of the agreement call for a two-year prison term. Formal sentencing is set for April 14, the same day his co-defendant is scheduled to change her plea. The victim's mother did not address the court Thursday and declined an interview request.

Historian to try to return WWII flags ASTORIA — American veteransofWo rldWar II have given a local historian five flags they got from Japanese soldiers, with the intention the banners be returned to families who sent them off to war more than seven decades ago. The Daily Astorian reports that historian Rex Ziak has created a nonprofit organization to encourage the return ofthe souvenirs,considered personal items that were prepared by family members for individual soldiers. Ziak said during a ceremony Monday at the Columbia River Maritime Museum the flags showed that the people who cared for a soldier were going to war with him. He says he will now attempt to locate the families in Japan.

It's not guns. It's not drugs. It's not cancer.

It's motor vehicle crashes. But there are some simple things you can do to keep kids safer on the road: • Buckle up everybody in the car, including

yourself — kids learn from watching you. • Put kids in the correct car seats for their size.

• Always put children under 12 in the back seat, away from air bags.

www.La rande Rentals.com

44 Makes candles

• Don't drink and drive, especially with your

kids in the car. • Drive safely. Nobody wins with road rage, speeding or reckless driving — least of all your kids.

She waits until my birthday day, then buys them in a rush all at one store or suggests we goshopping together. She's not stingy on prt'ce. Infact, she tends to spend more than I think she should.

MINNEAPOLIS — General Mills Inc. doesn't have to worry about 3G Capital and Warren Buffett taking arun at it anytime soon, analysts say. The long term is another story. Consolidation rumblings in the food industry will intensify after the megadeal announced Wednesday that coupled Krak Foods with H.J. Heinz, creating a company with $28 billion in revenue. Heinz shareholders will own 51 percent; Kraft 49 percent. The power brokers in this deal are Brazilian private equity outfit 3G Capital and Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which teamed up to buy Heinz in early 2013. With the packaged-food industry stagnating, analysts have been anticipating another move by 3G and Bufett. "There's been speculation for months, what food company could be next?" said Erin Lash, an equity analyst at Morningstar Inc.

Although Smith Rock State Park is mostly known as a mecca for rock climbers, the hiking opportunities within the park should not be ignored. And often, the park's trails can put a hiker in a spot to watch climbers scale some of the most difficult routes in the West. This month, I made the 30-minute drive north &om Bend to Terrebonne with one goal in mind: hike Smith Rock State Park and see as much of the park as possiblefrom its highest vantage points — without actually climbing the rocks. Besides, climbers need all thatgear:rope,carabiners,belay devices, a partner they can trust with their lives... you get my point. Hikers need just shoes, suitable clothing, water and some

but this time I left my bike at home. I wanted to experience the park unencumbered by gear and go for a simple hike through one of Central Oregon's most impressivegeologicw onders. I'll admit I missed my bike at first. But nearly four hours later, I was glad I had chosen to hike. March is one of the bestand therefore most crowdedmonths in which to visit Smith Rock. I finally found a parking

The path winding down to the main area of the park was filled with tourists, hikers and rock climbers on a sunny late-winter day when temperatures crept into the 60s. iSummertime is often uncomfortably hot at Smith Rock, so spring and fall seem to be the peak seasons.)

I have biked the trails at Trail, I took a right on the Wolf Smith Rock on several occasions, Tree Trail, which led me away

When I reached the top, I chatted with two mountain bikers there, then took in the breathtaking view of the cliffs and rock faces &om the "roof' of Smith Rock State Park.

s the new season begins, it can be overwhelming to try and keep up with the latest LED duo down/primaloft ultralight aluminum UPF merino and other similar items. On the other hand, there are a few of us out there who get a kick out of keeping up with industry trends, if only to better translate for the layperson. What I would like to offer up are a few of the industry trends or relatively recent inventions or other generally cool things that are happening. Here are a few favori tes: Shelter — light and small is always the game here, which for tents usually means aluminum poles and lighter, thinner nylon, but on top of all of that an upstart company called Big Agnes just starting sewing LED light strips through the seams of the interior for a durable, low-weight, low-energy lighting solution that simply rolls up with the tent. Hammock systems continue to gain traction and can include a rain fly and bug net, essentially making an elevated tent that sets up as long asittakesyou to tie itonceto twotrees. Hennesy Hammocks have been around for a bit and have a sizable following you can check out on Youtube. Sleep —a big favorite here is a sleeping bag system that removes the insulation from the back of the bag that you sleep on top of iand therefore don't get any warmth from) and replaces itw ith a sleeveforyourpad to slide in to. This reduces space, weight and keeps you pinned to your pad so you don't roll into the river like I did once in college itrue story). Many of the pads these days also come with a layer of dense insulation gook for Primaloftl on the surface that reflects heat back at you and bumps the degree rating of the bag by a few degrees. Apparel — this is a big category so I'll just throw out a couple favorites. A lot of garments are coming with UPF protection to ensure that fair-skinned folks don't pick up a sunburn through their clothes as well as a light but effective insect repellent gook up the active ingredient permethrin for more info). Rain shells and the question of water repellency can get a little ridiculous with every brand offering their own technology that claims to keep water out and pull water out of the inside and fling it away. If this sounds dubious according to basic physical laws, it's because it is and should be taken with multiple grains of salt. Chances are, your instincts will be right — if it fits funny and has the wronghood,move on to the next.A good range is to only cross the $100 mark if you've got aspecialpurpose forit. Water — HydroFlasks are a big hit lately. SeeWhitbeck/Page 2C

FIREARM HISTORY

Brown Bess was a musket from the 18th and 19th centuries, used during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Mexican-AmericanWar. Here, Gary Lewis examines a replica owned by Greg Kershul of Michigan.

'You mighthave guessed from my accent I'm not from around here." I had guessed no such thing. I wasn't from around there either. In Emmett, Idaho, last week, my wife, my father-in-law and I went to the Gem County Rod and Gun Club to shoot bolt-action rifles and semi-auto pistols. We chanced to talk to one of the club officers, Greg Kershul, and he had brought a couple of interesting items out for exercise on a Saturday morning. Guns, like people, tend to stay in the areas of the country in which they came of age. For instance, out here in the West, we are familiar with blackpowder mountain rifles and lever-actions such as the Winchester 73 and the Model 94. We were also early adoptersoftheWi nchester Model 70 and theRemington 700. In the Rocky Mountains and south, and east into the plains, there is a tendency for gun collections to run to single-shot buffalo guns and old U.S. Armybreechloaders. The Eastern seaboard was settled by flintlock rifles of the vintage used in the Revolutionary War. A lot of Civil War guns are in collections in places the victors returned to. But guns travel, too. "I'm from Michigan, and back there we have a lot of the rifles that were used in the Revolutionary War and in the Civil War," Kershul said. He hadn't brought original guns to the range, but replicas, well-used, in the conditions they might have been in after three or four years ofhard campRlgnmg. Kershul handed me a Brown Bess Musket by Pedersoli. The British Army's Land Pattern Musket, nicknamed Brown Bess by the men who held her tight, was used by the British in the Revolutionary War in the 1770s and in the War of 1812. It also saw action in the Mexican-American War. A smooth-bore, 75-caliber,itis

fired by flint and steel, tips the scales at 8'/4 pounds and measures almost five feet long. The Brown Bess was both admired and scorned by a young America. She was reli able and packed a fearsome punch, but she was not accurate. Americans wanted rifles that were accurate and could be put to use from long range. The British tended to fight battles in rank and file, their troops ordered and brave,standing to fi re and load,fi re and load, in the face ofhostile muzzles on the other side. And they used the Brown Bess. Americans used the Brown Bess, too, but they put it aside when they could get a gun with a rifled barrel that fired a stabilized projectile with greater accuracy at long range. And the Americans won the war, and the flintlock rifle began to march across the continent. A lot of those Brown Bess muskets ended up in the hands of Native Americans, too. Though it isn't venerated like the Kentucky or Tennessee long rifle, or the Hawken of a laterage,theBrown Bess is an American artifact. Kershul carried his loads in a pouch, each individually wrapped in paper. He primedthe gun by tearing away a bit of the paper wrap and sprinkling powderinto the pan,then he poured the rest of the charge down the barrel, followed by the bullet, which, of course, was seated with the ramrod. He handed methe musket. Two-hundred yards downrange stooda man-sized target. Back in the 1700s, the average Britisher stood about 5-foot-6 and would have carried a musket, too. I found the front sight ithe Brown Bess didn't have a rear sight), held head-high for bullet drop and squeezed. The flint snapped into steel, the sparks ignited the powder in the pan. The gun belched smoke and fire, and a puffofdirt signaled the ball's strike. I like to think theleadballtuggedatthesleeveofthe

I like using Montana Decoys since they are light and easy to carry. This is necessary since I'm not staying in one spot for very long.

This particular musket, Kershul said, had accounted for 37 deer back home and had participated in numerous reenactments. He has also carried it for elk hunts in the West. It was easy to picture the Brown Bess packed in a wagon headed into Oregon Territory in the 1840s. Its owner entrusted his life to it and sometimes held it tight on lonely nights. Brown Bess wasn't from around here, but she certainly made her presence known. It can happen anytime we go tothe range.Therecould be a sliceof history, a glimpse into the past we get when we pick up an old gun and let it speak again. Rudyard Kipling wrote, "In the days oflace-rumes, perukes and brocade, Brown Bess was a partner whom none could despise/An out-spoken, flintylipped, brazen-faced jade /With a habit oflooking men straight in the eyes /At Blenhieim and Ramilies, fops would confess /They were pierced to the heart by the charms of Brown Bess."

Another major thing that you will pay for as your work up the latest/greatest ladder is ventilation.

Vibram soles are a similar situation, but they don't cost a whole lot more and will hold up very well over time — look for the yellow logo on the sole itself. So there it is. Maybe a few new things to ponder, maybe a few things to disregard, and maybe a few to get excited about. Just keep in mind name brands can often be inconsistent and it's typically best to buy for the function of the product rather than the label.

Oftentimes, contracts between insurers and providerscontainprovisions that prevent rates &om being shared, but Senate Bill 891 contains a provision that would nullify those. Such provisions, called nondisclosure clauses, have proven to be significant barriers to price transparency nationwide, KohleriterPerelman said.

"There's a lot to childhood kidney disease,"Warady said. "It's a lot more complicated than 'I just don't pee."' Marley has a condition called nephrotic syndrome that causes her kidney damage. Doctors at Children's Mercy aren't sure what is responsible, but they've been able to keep the condition under control. Marley's mother remembers that it was Christmas Eve of 2013 when her daughter's eyes began to redden and swell. As Marley was taken from pediatrician to pediatrician who said she had allergies, her condition worsened."Her body was so swollen, and her skin was splotchy and white," Martinac said. At the Children's Mercy emergency room in April, doctorsdiscovered that protein was spilling into her urine. Healthy kidneys don't let much protein pass through their filters. But when those filters are damaged, protein can leak through. And the protein releaseitselfcan lead to more kidney damage. Marley finally was diagnosed with kidney problems that she and her family will have to deal with for a lifetime. "It was very shocking," M artinac said.eWe never thought we'd have to deal with something like that. No

that. No one ever does." — Katie Martinac

one ever does." Marley spent four nights at Children's Mercy. Fluid from her abdomen was drained, and she was placed on steroids to controlher kidney condition."It didn't takelong forthe steroidsto get going and working for her," Martinac said. Marley still takes the steroid prednisone. In October, she started taking a chemotherapy drug that has m ade it possibletolowerher steroid dose and may wean her off prednisone entirely. Martinac uses test strips twice a week to check for protein in Marley's urine. Marley gets regular blood pressure checks. And she's on a low-sodium diet to keep her blood pressure down. "It's not just one easy fix," M artinac said. Care for children like Marley has already made great strides, Warady said. A sign of the improvement so far is that in 1980, doctors considered it ethically questionable to even treat infants with advanced kidney disease because they had so little hope for survival. "Even the most seriously ill child now has a chance at a good outcome,"Warady said. "That is an absolute change over 30 years."

Oregonbills seek price transparency for services

keeping seniors athome ant to stay in your own home as you age? More seniors will have that chance through a little-known program that's expanding in South Florida and elsewhere. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE, uses Medicare and Medicaid dollars for services and care management designedto keep olderpeople at home and out of nursing homes. M orseLife, a senior care nonprofit with a PACE center at its West Palm Beach campus, is doubling its capacity to 250 people this year and opening a second location. "Every day that someone is in PACE instead of being in an institution is a success," said Alan Sadowsky, MorseLife' sseniorvice president of community-based services.

• Transparency advocate: Either of two versions would be"ideal" By Tara Bannow WesCom News Service

No one argues it would be too burdensomeforWal-Mart to postprices on the products that line its aisle, so why can't health care providers be expectedto dothe same? That's a question posed by Jesse Ellis OBrien, a health care advocate with the Oregon State Public Inter-

est Research Group, or OSPIRG, Foundation, a Portland-based consumer advocacy group. "I don't see that it's fundamentally all that different," he said. OSPIRGis advocating for a proposal in the Oregon Legislature, Senate Bill 891, that would require licensedhealt h careprovidersin the state to post on their websites and in their facilities charges for their most common health care services. Upon request, they would also have to provide cost estimates to prospective patients. The measure is very similar

to anotherbefore the legislature, Senate Bill 900, also aimed at price transparency. This one, however, would take a different approach: Rather than having providers post the information, state officials would aggregatedata trom insurersonto a single website. As patients are saddled with higher deductibles and co-pays on theirinsurance policies,transparency advocates say knowing what a procedurewillcostahead oftim e is becoming increasingly important. That's especially true given the

dramaticvariation in costdepending on where you're located and which provideryou choose.An OSPIRG analysis, for example, found that a hospital in the McMinnville area chargedforsome servicesfourtim es that ofhospitals in the Portland metro, Ellis O'Brien said. "Ifthe people going tothathospitalcould seethose pricesposted in advance, they might realize they can get a much better deal by just driving for a half an hour or whatever it is," he said.

PACE." How it works: PACE offers centralized services intended to addressavariety ofneeds, from comprehensive medical careand transportation to meals to social activities. Once enrolled, PACE seniors are assigned a geriatricianwho oversees their medical care. The physicians alsoare partofa careteam that includes nurses, therapists and social workers, who regularly meet with participantsand theircaregivers. The program also provides home health workers and sends contractors to make a partici pant'shome safer and more accessible. PACE started in 1973 as a trial program at an adult day center in San Francisco. Today, the PACE network includes 106 programs in 31 states. To enter PACE, participantsmust be age 55or older and be certified by the state as beingat-risk forbeing placed in a nursing home — meaning they usually have severe chronicmedical conditions and are unable to do taskslike prepare meals or bathe themselves. 'They are a difficult population to care for ... Our goal is to keep them as healthy as we can," said Cliff Bauer, senior vice president and COO of Miami Jewish Health, which started Florida's first PACE program in 2003.

A CLE R PICT

O F HOW TO SLOW

• l Children now have much better chance of leading a normal life despite problems with their kidneys ByAlan Bavley The ICansas City Star

KANSAS CITY — Twoyear-old Marley Martinac has a serious chronic kidney disease, but she's going to haveabetter shotata healthy life than kids born justadecade earlier. Thanks largely to an ongoing national study with leadership at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, doctors now have a clearerpicture ofthebest ways to stop or slow the progression of kidney disease in children like Marley. The goal is to keep the children growing and thriving for as long as possible, preventing, or atleastpostponing, the need for kidney dialysis or a transplant. 'Thank God, we're not

at that point at all," said Marley's mother, Katie Martinac of Bates City, Missouri. "She's pretty spunky. She hasn't lost that." About 16 percent of the U.S. population has chronic kidney disease, a gradual loss of kidney function

caused by high blood pressure,diabetesand a variety of other conditions. How many children have these conditions isn't known, but 2,500 children nationwide are on dialysis and more than 5,000 have received kidney transplants. ''We're aiming to head things otf in childhood," said Children's Mercy kidney specialist Bradley Warady, "to prevent children trom requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant, or maybe delay it

to give children more chance to grow and for their minds to develop." Warady, along with researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, is coordinating the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children iCKIDl Cohort, a study that since 2003 has been following close to 900 children with mild to moderate kidney disease recruited trom m edical centers acrossthe United States and Canada. Their research, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is now the largest long-term study in North America of any chronic childhood disease. Research by the CKiD group, published recently in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, shows that

the severity of three common conditions in children with kidney disease — high blood pressure, anemia and protein loss through urine — predict how quickly their disease will worsen. For example, when urine has high protein levels, kidneys deteriorate tw ice asfast. Because these conditions are all treatable, Warady said, the study offersdoctors guidance for improving their patients' care. ''We want to detect it when it's mild and easier to intervene," he said.'We have the toolsto treatthese things. But the treatment hasn't been done yet in a consistent way. This emphasizestheimportance ofthese factors. Itraisesawareness ofhow significant they are."

Doctors have not had much data on childhood kidney disease, said Joseph Vassalotti, chief medical officer of the National Kidney Foundation. This research "really advances our understanding of the natural history of chronic kidney disease in children." These diseasesinclude birth defects, such as abnormally developed kidneys that don't work well or blockages in the kidney's plumbing; genetic conditions such as polycystic kidney disease, in which fluid-filled cysts destroy kidney tissue; and avariety ofdiseases that attack the hundreds of thousands of tiny clusters of bloodvesselsthatfilter the
