Shelter From the Storm has moved forward with a complaint for injunctive relief and damages against Union County.

The suit, filed Wednesday morning at the Union County Courthouse, alleges Union County failed to seek resolutions that would minimize the adverse impact to Shelter From the Storm upon the nonprofit's displacement from its advocacy center at 1111 Fifth St. Shelter From the Storm, which provides servicesto victims ofdomesticviolence,was ordered in an April 1 letter from the county's legal counsel to vacate the building by Sept. 1.

The county seeks to construct a $3.1 million courthouse on the footprint of the Shelter From the Storm building, which was erected in 1998 with the help of a $487,040 community block grant on the Union County campus. The building is owned by the county, which has leased it to the shelter since its employees moved in. The building would be razedtoaccommodate construction ofthe new courthouse.

The complaint alleges the county did not provide assistance to Shelter From the Storm as required under ORS 35.510 and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act. The complaint also states that the county did not inform Shelter SeeShelter / Page9A

SALEM — The Board on Public Safety Standards and Training voted unanimously to revoke the certification of a former Enterprisepolice offi cer atits April 24 meeting in Salem.

The revocation of John Crowder's credentials was recommended by the Police Policy Committee after its February meeting.

Minutes from the Feb. 20 policy committee meeting said Crowder's behavior was considered dishonest surrounding his sexual conduct with a reserve officer he supervised, he was deceitful during the investigative interview and he used an agency vehicle for his personal use, according to the minutes.

The committee determined that Crowder's behavior during incidences in 2013 involved insubordinationbased on hisposition as head of the reserveofficers.

The report said hefailed to disclose his relationship with the reserve officer prior to, and subsequent to, her being admitted to the

reserve program.

The minutes said the policy committee found Crowder's insubordination rose to a level to warrant to revocation.

The committee identified that Crowder's behavior involved "misconduct" when he traveled a distanceoutsideofhispatrol area to have sex on duty; "gross misconduct" when he left the city to have sex while on duty, leaving the city unprotected and the fact that this behavior was repeatedand "misuse of authority" when he used the department vehicle for personal use, abusing the public trust and obtaining a benefit by not using his own personal vehicle and using his authority to directthereserve offi cer to keep the relationship quiet.

The committee also pointed out Crowder was dishonest with the chief during several interviews, only admitting the sexual relationship when confronted with facts.

The La Grande School District's budget committee had a change of venue Wednesday for its regularly scheduled meeting.

The switch from the Willow Elementary School gymnasium to the school's conference room was fitting symbolically. The school's gym is dimly lit but the conference room is bright, much like the school district's 2014-15 budget picture.

The school district's proposed 2014-15 general

fund budget of $19.237 million calls for a 9.2 percent increase from the present year's budget. The spending plan is now a major step closer to becoming a reality, for the budget committee voted unanimously to recommend that the school board adopt the 2014-15 proposed

budget.

The proposed budget, almost $1.8 million greater

than the present year's budget, would allow the school district to add back many positions and items that had to be cut in recent years because of funding shortfalls.

"It is great to be in a position to add back positions," said Joe Justice, chair of the La Grande School Board and amember ofthedistrict's budget committee.

Justice said the positions the proposed budget would add back were wisely selected by district officials.

"The administration has done an excellent job of prioritizing which programs to bring back," Justice said.

The school board will vote to adopt the proposed budget at its May 28 meeting.

The proposed spending plan calls for 6-3/4 teaching and non-teaching positions to be added back. The total would include 3-3/4 teaching positions, 2-V2 of which would be for La Grande High School teaching positions in

the areas of math, science, social studiesand career technical education. Three quarters of a teaching position would be added at the middle school for electives and alternative education, and a part-time teaching positionwould be added forthe English Language Learners program, which aids students whose native language is not English.

Coun bans dispensaries

By Katy Nesbitt

WALLOWA COUNTY

The Observer

ENTERPRISE — A moratorium on permitting medical marijuana dispensaries in Wallowa County was unanimously approved by the Wallowa County commissioners in a special public hearing Wednesday.

The commissioners declared the ordinance passage an"emergency," allowing the new law to go into effect immediately. Violations begin

w itha $500 perday fi ne.

With the Oregon Legislature'spassage oflegalizing medical marijuana dispensaries, a clause allowed counties and municipalities to pass moratoriums on permitting these businesses until April 30, 2015.

Commissioner Susan Roberts said it will be up to the Legislature, which meets next winter, to amend or change the law.

Mike Hayward, board of commissioners chairman, saidifsomeone applied for a permit through the county planning office to operate a dispensary he would be denied.

Sheriff Steve Rogers said the violations are strictly civil. If someone was in violation of the county's ordinance and attempts to run a dispensary, that person will be fined. If the fine isn't paid, the sherifFs office may be asked by the court to serve the individual an order to

pay the fines.

Rogers reminded the commissioners that violation of the ordinance would not be a criminal offense. However, Rogerssaid some ofthe issues surrounding medical marijuana that do cross the legal line are when more plants are grown than permitted and when it does not stay in the hands of the person witha doctor-prescribed medical marijuana card.

The cities of Joseph and Enterprise passed similar laws in April banning businesses to sell medical marijuana.

RWE COVKR oaE.SCR4 ~ Klm moLiW ANYMoRS...

new s e in aem Clearly there are a number of good elements to both John Turner and Greg Barreto, the two men vying in the Republican primary to win the Oregon House of Representatives District 58.

Turner has a strong background in leadership — specifically a 20-year-plus career leading U.S. Marines — and a stint as the president of Blue Mountain Community College. A distinguished career in the Marine Corps is spectacular on its own and illustrates Turner knows how to lead.

And yet Turner does not appear to have one keyeven critical — attribute: A fundamental knowledge regarding how small businesses get started and how they succeed.

That may be, to some, merely a quibble. Aker all, Turner's leadership acumen is obvious and leadership is a necessary element to a successful legislative career. Yet we believe that it is time for a diferent approachin Salem and we believe Greg Barretowith his strong business background — can deliver something diferent to hallowed halls of the Oregon Legislature.

Another positive element to Barreto is the fact he is local. That may seem, at first glance, to be a tenuous component to rest an endorsement upon, but a deeper review of the issue reveals it does, indeed, resonate.

For far too long our small area within District 58 has secured its representation from the other side of the Blue Mountains. While there is no concrete evidence to suggest former representatives from the other side of the mountains willfully ignored issues central to us in Union and Wallowa counties, the fact that someone with strong local ties will be advocating for our region in the House simply cannot be overlooked or shrugged ofK We understand that Barreto comes to this race with some baggage. He secured some criticism for acceptinga $30,000 donation from conservative bigwig Loren Parks of Nevada. Barreto has since said he plans to return the money. And Barreto said he prefers negotiations over compromise.

The Parks donation is probably the most mindless criticism. Parks donates to a lot of candidates — though they are all conservatives — and$30,000 in a race like this one is, in the big scheme of things, fairly modest.

But Barreto's stance on negotiation rather than compromise is one he will be compelled to modify. To achieve anything for the body politic, Barreto must not only learn how to compromise but become a master at it. Too oken Eastern Oregon candidates adopt a rigorous, almost militant, attitude toward politics in Salem. When that happens they fail. They fail because conservative or liberal rhetoric may sound good but when it comes down to getting the people's business completed, the wide-sweeping orations are just mere words.

We believe that Barreto's sound business background — and firm local ties — are what will be needed to represent our region effectively in Salem.

We urge you to vote for Barreto.

T

he first parade of the year has no Lions Club pig train, grand marshal,1957 Corvette convertible,m arching band orkidsorkidsatheartdiving for candy.

Still, the parade was a doozy. The cloud floats, flexing their thunderhead muscles, marched by one by one on a recent Sunday, each trying to outdo the last in towering splendor.

I found a sunny spot on the back deck.

The southern exposure and windbreak allowed me to take in the springtime spectacle in comfort.

If you're like me, spring is your favorite season. But I'm a late bloomer in gettingon thespring bandwagon. More on that later.

Winter is great if you're a skier or make a living selling mukluks. 0therwise, you spend too much time with snow up to the ear holes trying to slide from home to work and back like ice skating champion Dick Button doing a triple salchow ipronounced "sow cow"l.

The days are breathtakingly short.

You can win the Chip Kelly day in record time and make the former UniversityofOregon footballcoach proud.

The nights, however, are eternal. They raisepost traumatic stressdisorder issues over that night long ago spent in a snow cave with three close pals near Mount Bachelor — after a bean burrito dinner.

Summer is great, if you're a swim coachorhave ajob thatinvolves standing waist deep in water or sampling lemonade. Otherwise, you spend too

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN much time baking like an apple pie and dartingfrom shade treeto shade tree in an attempt to beat the heat.

Fallisgreat,too,for a spell.Then the light slants ever more severely and you have to go around squinting like Clint iEastwood, that is). You constantly watch over your shoulder for winter's advance scouts, who any day can whip up a storm that knocks the leaves off the trees and leaves you up to your ear holes in snow.

Spring reigns supreme. The arrowleaf balsamrootsplashesgold overnortheast Oregon hillsides, and meadowlarks and red-wingedblackbirds stage spirited singing contests from fenceposts and road-side sloughs. Sure, the wind some days can rock the blacksmith anvils we in the Grande Ronde Valley use for chimes. And the showers can make dogs smell like road kill.

No worries.

The showers are only temporary. Just when you think the storms marching in off the Pacific Ocean are endless, standing in line like military recruits waiting for a haircut, there will be what professional meteorologists call"sun breaks."

Fresh snow will paint Mount Fanny and China Cap a dazzling white. In spring, though, the snow mainly stays in the mountains, where my late, great dad insisted it belongs. If iwhenl we do

getsnow thatdroops the daffodilsand cherry blossoms, and makes visiting hummingbirds wish they had L.L. Bean stock, the snow will usually be gone before noon.

Fall used to be my favorite season.

Now, though, spring seems a better choice. A big reason is that spring here is our longest season. Don't trust the calendars any more than you do a rogue politician. Spring here as I see it starts March 1 and ends July 4. We get five bonus weeks in this blessed remote corner of Oregon. And we celebrate the end of spring with fireworks.

In Wisconsin, where I once lived, spring happened May 1. It was a oneday event. The tulips bloomed and then got stripped naked by yet one more "storm of the century."

Then summer parked itself, so humid you felt as if you'd just been submerged in a warm drink.

Every place has its merits. Still, Northeast Oregon, with its thunderhead parades, in my estimation, is much preferable. That's true even if May is wetteron average than Apriland June is wetter than May. The bloom is on.

Softballs and baseballs are flying out of the park. The grass is growing 9 inches a day. Golfers are filling lakes with their misbehaving clubs. The Slough Orchestra — red-winged blackbirds in full throat — is tuning up. Enjoy.

OPINION

Your views Alexis: Scanner traNc highlights future issues To the Editor: Here we go again; I was just listening to the scanner i8:40 p.m.l, and a lady called in to request help from an officer because her 12-yearold daughter refused to come home from a friend's house. A couple months ago, I sent a similar letter in regarding officer help because a 10-year-ol d refused to go to school.

There is a real possibility that officers will be dealing with these two on a more serious level in the future.

Reid: Barreto has long history of providing jobs To the Editor: Thereseems tobe abig dealbeing made of the campaign contribution made by Loren Parks to the Greg Barreto campaign.

First of all, Loren Parks is a successful businessman that has a medical equipment manufacturing business in Oregon. Comments have been made that the contribution to the Barreto campaign is "out-of-state" money. Parks does live in Nevada and maintains the business in Oregon. I can only imagine that he lives in Nevada to try and avoid some of the heavy tax liability that Oregon keeps tagging on to small business.

Over the past couple ofelections, Loren Parks has donated approximately $1 million to the Republican caucus and has asked for nothing in return. This information is according to Republican Sen. Larry George of Newberg.

Second,let'sdoa com parison of the campaign donations that have been made to the Turner and Barreto campaigns.

Don't think there won't be strings attached to that money.

Greg Barreto moved to Union County 27 years ago providing jobs to the area. John Turner moved to Umatilla County 10 years ago to take a job.

Scheele: Walden should take NRCC websites down To the Editor: I have written before about my disagreements with policies advocated by Congressman Greg Walden. But until now, I have not felt compelled to question his ethics.

Walden chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee. He has the important task of helping elect congressional Republicans nationally. Unfortunately, Rep. Walden seems to think that dirty political tricks are a legitimate tool to achievethat goal.

Many people are regular users of the Internet — for news, information, commerce and political advocacy. But who hasn't clicked on an item of interest only to be taken to asite forgoodsorservicesyou have no interest in?

Most of us think that's deceitful, perhaps even fraudulent, but

theNRCC helmedby Rep.W alden thinks it's a real neat trick.

The NRCC has setup atleast 18 phony websites to date that seem to support Democratic candidates.

They own web addresses for dozens more. The banner headlines proclaim Democrat for Congress. Donate here!

But ifyou click to donate, the money actually goes to Republican efforts to defeatyourcandidate.

Is the fine print there? Sure it is.

Are the website names and layouts designed to trick you? You bet they are. Enough so that the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has filed an ethics complaint with the Offtce of Congressional Ethics.

CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan had this to say when filing the complaint: "Rep. Walden and the NRCC have become online

if I don't agree as they do, then I guess I believe in bad government.

I don't think so. The issue as to whether our county commissioners should be elected as nonpartisan or have no party affrliation. On the surface this sounds good. However, m y goodgovernment would allow my fellow citizens to state their beliefs on a variety ofissuesfrom a balancedbudget to therighttobear arms.Then they would fi nd a group of folks to support them. Oh, that's bad. That's a party. Well, we are back where we started.

One thing is for sure. In spite of what these "good government" peoplesay,everyone isentitled to vote in the primary. Get your candidates on the ballot, knock on doors and vote for them.

I support the notion that we continue to identify our commissioners by party. At least I can be reasonably assured how they will vote on the issues that concern me. Maybe that is good government.

mention that the charter currently requirestherecorder/administrator to be elected by the voters of Elgin.

The question on the ballot is: "Shall the City Recorder/Administrator be appointed by the City Council?" There is no explanation on the ballot as to nature of the change being proposed.

It is important the voters know that a yes vote will make the city recorder/administ rator an appointed officer of the city council.

A no vote retains the office as an elected position subject to the voters.

While I have my own thoughts as to this question, this letter is presentedto providea clarification that is lacking on the ballot.

taxes add up for both the individuals and the businesses of Oregon.

Measures 66 and 67 were supportedby my father' sopponent.

Because of the passing of these measures, our company and many otherspaid thousands ofdollarsin extra taxes in a year when we not only had a significant loss, but we were fighting to keep on even 30 percent of our workforce. You can't saythatthesedecisions don'taffect everyone.

3ohn Turner Ballot Measure 31-84 WHAT IS IT? • County commissioners as a nonpartisan office BALLOT QUESTION Shall the position of Union County commissioner become a nonpartisan office'?

SUMMARY All Union County elected officials — assessor, clerk, district attorney, justice of the peace, sheriff, surveyor and treasurer — except the county commissioners are elected on a "nonpartisan" basis. The office itself is a nonpartisan office. This means that the office is not held on the basis of political party affiliation. In an election for a nonpartisan office, voters in a primary election may vote for any candidate. Oregon law allows the electors in a county to determine whether to designate the position of county commissioner as a nonpartisan office.

A "yes" vote will result in the office of county commissioner becoming a nonpartisan office. Beginning in the 2016 primary election, voters would be able to vote for any candidate for the position, without regard to politicalaffiliation.

A "no" vote will not change current practice. The position of county commissioner will remain a partisan office. During any primary elections, voters will be able to vote only for those candidates in the specific political party in which they are registered.

ABOUT MEASURE 31-84 Q. Whatdoes nonpartisan mean?

In nonpartisan elections all voters get to vote from the slate of all candidates. By law, commissioners serve on a nonpartisan basis.

Q. Are most local elected officials nonpartisan? All county and city positions except for county commissioner are nonpartisan now.

Currently, onlythose belonging to a candidate's party can vote in partisan races in the primary.

Q. Do taxpayers pay for elections they can't vote in? All taxpayers pay for partisan primary elections, but many people can't vote in them because they are non-affiliated or don't belong to major parties that run candidates.

Q.Who can't vote in closed primary elections? Of the 14,384 voters in Union County, 3,810 (26.5 percent) are non-affiliated, registered as Independent, nonpartisan or belong to minor parties that don't typically run candidates in the general election.

Q. Do the majority of counties elect commissioners on a nonpartisan basis? Twenty of Oregon's 36 counties (56 percent) elect commissioners on a nonpartisan basis. Others are considering doing so.

Q. Why have nonpartisan primary elections for county commissioners?

Partisan primary elections limit choice of candidates for county commissioner to members of a particular party. If there are only candidates from one of the major parties on the primary election ballot, only voters registered with that same party can vote for the candidates.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION John served for 28 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, leading Marines in peace and war around the globe. He retired in 2003, and moved to Pendleton, where he has served for the past nine years as the president of Blue Mountain Community College. He holds a BA in political science from the University of Oklahoma and a Master ofArts in political science from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. PREVIOUS PUBLICSERVICE OR VOLUNTEER POSITIONS • Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps • President, U.S. Marine Corps War College • President, Blue Mountain Community College • Commissioner, Port of Umatilla (2001-Current) • Board Member, Round-Up City Development Corporation • Member of the Local Reutilization Authority for the Umatilla Chemical Depot • Oregon Solutions Team Member: Eastern Oregon Housing Shortage • Past President, Pendleton Rotary Club • Commission Member, Pendleton Convention Center • Life member NRA (35 years) WHY DIDYOU CHOOSETO RUN FOR OFFICE? I intend to use the leadership experience I have gained in 38 years of public service to find workable solutions to the issues facing Northeast Oregon. I will use the relations I have built among businesses, educators, legislators, localgovernments and state agencies to bring people around the table to discuss our differences, to find common ground and find real solutions.

I believe we can help provide a more favorable climate for businesses to grow, and ensure every Oregonian hasaccesstoanaff ordable and high-quality education.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING DISTRICT 58?

The biggest issue facing all of northeastern Oregon is the lack of jobs. Closely related to this is the lackluster economy and poor educational opportunities for our citizens. While some jobs are waiting to be filled, citizens find it difficult to gain the job skills necessary for employment.

We need to be able to use our natural resources more to our advantage, specifically our forest lands and water. In addition, we need to provide a favorable and predictable tax climate for small businesses. Excessive governmental regulations at the federal and state levels make it difficult for small businesses to thrive.

I want to expand access to our natural resources and reduce government regulation. I want to provide workforce training programs that give workers the skills our employers tell us they need.

I want to improve education by strengthening our high school vocational programs and increasing the length of the school year.

Eastern Oregon University and Blue Mountain Community Collegeareeconomic enginesand they need to be protected from the shortsighted people in the 1-5 corridor who do not understand the values of our rural way of life.

Greg Barreto BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION I am a lifelong Republican and I'm 58 years old. I've lived in Oregon for 52 years. My lifelong desire to live in eastern Oregon was realized when we moved here 27 years ago and brought Barreto Manufacturing to La Grande. My wife and I founded Barreto Manufacturing, Inc., in our garage in Keizer 30 years ago and we now employ over 80 people here.

My wife, Chris, and I have been happily married for 34years and we have eight children and four grandchildren. I'm pro-life, proSecond Amendment, pro-family, pro-business and pro-freedom.

PREVIOUS PUBLICSERVICE OR VOLUNTEER POSITIONS • Executive Committee Member, UnionCounty Economic Development Corp. Chair • Union County Republican Central Committee, Alt Vice Chair ORP CD2Chair • Economic Plank for 2013 Oregon Republican Platform Convention • Delegate to the 2012 Republican National Convention for Union County • Senior meals volunteer server and financial supporter • Supporter of the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show and Union County Fair auctions • Supports Oregon State Sheriff's Association • NRA Life Member • Union CountyAirport Board WHY DIDYOU CHOOSETO RUN FOR OFFICE? Iseea need forcommon sense from a business perspective needed inSalem.The people of northeast Oregon are conservative and we need that representation. Having a business background makes me uniquely qualified because I can think outside the box of government programs. Having experienced the issues of dealing with bureaucrats from a private sector position affords me the understanding of the changes that need to bemade inSalem.W ecan no longer afford more programs, more regulations, more taxes.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING DISTRICT 58?

The largest issue facing District 58 is good paying jobs in the private sector. Agriculture, wood processing and manufacturing are picking up, but more and better jobs are needed to broaden our base and shore up our economy.

The economicdevelopment organizations in the three counties represented in this district are hamstrung by a state that has not been business friendly and continues to persist that way.This needs to be rectified. Oregon needs to set a new course with a friendly attitude toward business and their owners. There are real people and personalities behind every small business and they need to know that Oregon is inviting them to do business in our state and we would love to have them. That means long-term fair taxes, minimal regulations and a good workforce are the things they should expect when considering amove.

Without these, Oregon is at a huge disadvantage. This district is also rich in natural resources that are not being harvested or managed well from the federal level.

Marc Stauffer

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Born in Brownfield, Texas, on May 22, 1944. Attended Meadow High School in Meadow, Texas.

Farmed cotton with my dad.

Served in the U.S. Army from July 1965 until October 1967. Served 10 months in Vietnam. Moved to Wallowa in 1969.

PREVIOUS PUBLICSERVICE OR VOLUNTEER POSITIONS • Joseph Fire Department, serving 19 years with 11 years as fire chief • Served on Wallowa City Council 12 years • Served four years as mayor of Wallowa • Elected Wallowa County commissioner in 2010.

• Post commander of Wallowa Lake Post 157 American Legion • Chairman of the Wallowa Valley Improvement Irrigation District WHY DIDYOU CHOOSETO RUN FOR OFFICE? Mostlybecause so many people have asked me to run again. I also consider myself a term-limit candidate. I am also very concerned about the direction America is headed. I firmly believe that we need to put people in Congress that are willing to challenge the federal government. It is important to remember that it was the states that created the federal government and not the federal government that created the states.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING WALLOWA COUNTY? Right now the biggest issue facing Wallowa County is the Travel Management Plan in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. For very many reasons that fall under the control of the federal government. I am also in favor of Bill 148 out of Utah known as TheTransfer of Public Lands Act. At the very most we should be able to, hopefully, have the states have control of the public lands to hand over to the counties to actually implement a management process. I firmly believe that the nation's Environment Protection Act has totally devastated our economy.

Would be nice if a change in Congress would repeal the Equal Access To Justice Act that would get America back to a productive nation. And yes, I will intend to address these issues.

— Paul Castillej a

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Born in Salina, Kan., and moved to Oregon when I was less than1-yearold for Dad to take a job as a Vo-Ag/ FFA/industrial arts teacher. I met my wife, Teena, while attending Oregon State and was married in1979. Our Christian faith has always been central to our life. Teena and I have owned and operated Stauffer's Refinishing together for 34 years, and as we say, "We haven't turned the tools on each other yet." We have been doing business in Wallowa County for 25 years, 10 of those years as residents of the county.

We have raised five children of our own and adopted and raised two teenage boys. Three of our children have chosen the rural lifestyle and have made their homes in Wallowa County.

PREVIOUS PUBLIC SERVICE OR VOLUNTEER POSITIONS • Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce president • Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce small business director • Enterprise planning commissioner and chair • City of Enterprise budget committee and chair • Enterprise landmarks commissioner • Enterprise Main Street committee • Wallowa-Union Railroad Board • Wallowa County Business Facilitation Board • Wallowa County Economic Action Team Board WHY DIDYOU CHOOSETO RUN FOR OFFICE? The rural lifestyle is very precious to me. Fourteen years ago, I became involved in serving the public as a volunteer at the local level because of the encouragement of a community member and my concern over the growing disconnect between federal and state government and the local jurisdictions. Since that time, I have worked hard to represent the interests of the people I serve so that our economy, culture and customs, natural resource use and guaranteed personal rights aren't lost to the giant government machine. As a volunteer, my time is limited and my focus divided. As a commissioner I can give my full time and attention to serving my fellow citizen.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING WALLOWA COUNTY? There is no one "biggest issue" facing Wallowa County. Any time a person steps into my office with an issue that affects their ability to pursue life, liberty and happiness, that is the biggest issue to that citizen. The reality is, there are multiple issues affecting all our ability to pursue the lifestyle we are accustomed to and they are all happening simultaneously. Whether it be the forestTravel Management Plan, the forest land management plan, the introduction of the wolves, the Endangered Species Act, FEMA floodplain regulations, our ability to maintain our roads, the PILT dollars, the shrinking county budget, the lack of family wage jobs, the sagging economy, theWallowa Lake Dam, small business survivability, changing health care accessibility, or a host of other issues, they all demand the full attention of a county commissioner.

Candidates In the primary election, candidates are divided into three sections: Democratic candidates, Republican candidatesand nonpartisan candidates. Major party candidates appear before nonpartisan candidates and every two years the order in which major political party candidates appear is rotated.

For 2014, Republican candidates appear first.

Candidates pay a fee, or submit signatures in lieu of paying the fee, for space in the voters' pamphlet. The information required by law — pertaining to occupation, occupational background, educational background and prior governmental experience — has been certified as true by each candidate.

Barney Spera Q~

PAR T Y:Democrat HOMETOWN:Ashland BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Born in Philadelphia in 1930 and attended San Jose State College as a geology major. Left to become a chief purser with Pan American World Airways. In 1986, transferred to United Airlines and also worked as a chief purser.

WHY DIDYOU CHOOSETO RUN FOR OFFICE? I decided to run for office because I got angrywhen the GOP, led byTed Cruzand

Greg Walden, shut down our government for 16 days.

The shutdown cost us $24 billion, 800,000 federal employees furloughed, another 1.3 million required to report for work without any known payment dates.

Walden voted to continue the shutdown.

He put party before country and his constituents. This should not be a lifetime job.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING OREGON'S SECOND DISTRICT? The biggest issue facing Oregon and the United States is the lack of jobs that pay a living wage. The Federal Reserve bank of Chicago states that every $1 increase in

wages means$2,800 in disposable income for that individual. Multiply that by millions and we can uplift the economy, create jobs and getAmericans off welfare programs.

That will also give us a larger tax base to pay for public services.

I will be an aggressive advocate for raising wages to a living wage, pass a worker guest visa law, thin our forests, while protecting the environment, and pass term limits for political office.

Our do-nothing Congress has proven that experience is not a reason to be reelected.

— Barney Spera

Aelea Christofferson PARTY:Democrat HOMETOWN:Bend BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Christofferson has owned herbusiness,ATLCommunications, for 22 years. ATL is in a unique part of telecommunications known as RespOrg work. She has been active in Washington, D.C., lobbying for telecommunications issues, and on hunger issues, the Dream Act and peace issue.

WHY DIDYOU CHOOSETO RUN FOR OFFICE? I'm running for Congress because the

system there is broken and we deserve better. Congress isn't addressing the vital needs of our nation because the people there no longer understand how to do that.

Compromise is no longer a positive outcome. Fixing it won't be easy, but I know what it means to take on a tough fight with long odds because it's the right thing to do.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING OREGON'S SECOND DISTRICT? People in the Second District need livable wages and full-time, permanent jobs. I have owned a business for 22 years. I know what it is to create jobs and I understand the effect that government regulations, including taxes,

have on an employer's ability to produce jobs.

Leaders in Congress need to understand that sometimes doing less is most effective.

Local governments together with employers can often do what's necessary to create jobs.

W e must also examine how ourschools are educating young people. Greg Walden just voted for the Ryan budget, which would cut 8,950 students from Pell Grants at a time when our greatest challenge is to prepare young people for employment.

Under his watch, money to fund trade education has dropped dramatically.

— AeleaChristofferson

oW

throughout the Second District recognize that their livelihoods are at risk. Scandals abound and tax monies are continually misspent and wasted. Today, with congressional approval ratings in the single digits, people finally realize that they are not being fairly represented. Yet, special groups and corporate interests continue to reap legislated rewards.

I am running for House District 2 to fight for the liberties which rightfully belong to the American individual. We must force Congress to adhere to our Constitution and fight for our God-given rights to life, liberty and our own personal and private pursuits.

PARTY:Democrat HOMETOWN:Sunriver BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Most of my life was spent in Washington state but I've had a home in Central Oregon since 1982. I served in the Gulf ofTonkin supporting carrier operations and another 21 years in the Naval Reserve. My experience as a civil trial and appellate lawyer gives me the skills and experience to evaluate and draft legislation.

A good legislator listens and closely interrogates witnesses to determine what will

work rather than speechifying and engaging in political grandstanding and name-calling.

WHY DIDYOU CHOOSETO RUN FOR OFFICE? Did you ever notice how"deficits don't matter" until a Democrat was in the White House? Like most other citizens, I've become disgusted with the current partisan circus in Congress and decided to do something about it.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING OREGON'S SECOND DISTRICT? How many big problems does this country need? Economic malaise, a regressive, unfair tax code favoring special interests and the

wealthy; growing ranks ofthe impoverished; health care that is not the best available but is far more expensive than in the economies with which we compete; a deteriorating public infrastructure (capital assets) never before tolerated; increasing insecurity here and abroad; a middle class that has been largely robbed of its wealth byWall Street manipulation and decreased wage levels; a Social Security plan once the envy of the western world now threatened with cuts and even its existence; and an environment that is increasingly unhealthy but threatens the very resources on which this district's economy depends.

WHAT ISTHE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING OREGON'S SECOND DISTRICT? The biggest issue facing Oregon and the U.S. is our nation's broken monetary policy.

The Federal Reserve's actions and policies must be audited, curtailed and suspended because its unsound monetary policies provide the mechanisms that allow our nation to engage in unsound economic policies.

My strategy for affecting change is to join forces with the 67 conservatives in the U.S. House who voted against the OmnibusBudgetActof2014.Thosecongressmen believe, as I do, that our nation's current economic path is tenuous.

Medford clobbered a 33-year high temperature record Wednesday and almost exceeded the high for Thursday, the National Weather Service says.

Rogue Valley residents sweltered under 92-degree heat Wednesday, the hottest it's been on April 30 since Medford weather datastartedbeing kept in 1911. The previous record high for that day was 86 degrees, set in 1981.

Nieuwenhuis said the agency knew early on the record was on its way to being broken. The temperature passed 80 degrees at 11 a.m. and just kept climbing. '%e were sitting there going,%ell, let's see how warm it's going to get,"' Nieuwenhuis said.

About two hours later, the heat surpassed the 86-degree mark. It peaked at 92 at 4:48 p.m., Nieuwenhuis said.

A mass of warm air under high pressure that

shifted from the nearby south into parts of Jackson County brought the change.

"It was sort of sitting over us, but just to our west," Nieuwenhuis said.

"Basically, hot air from Californiaspread up north."

The change also brought 25 mph winds, which came into the Rogue Valley and caused the temperatures to heat up further as the air tumbled down from the nearby mountains and compressed.

Nieuwenhuis said there would have been numerous red-flag fire watch warnings if such hot, windswept conditions had happened in July, when vegetation is much drier.

The heatprompted the city of Ashland to encourageitsresidents to start conserving water now, saying if the drought continues, water curtailment measures will begin within the next few weeks, according to a Thursday press release.

Nieuwenhuis said the mass of air has since shifted to the east. The heat almost broke another record Thursday, scratching 90 degrees.

The city's May 1 record — 92 — hasn't been broken since 1946.

"Mr. Barreto has made an issueoutofthefactthatI've accepted some union money.

That took place because Mr. Barreto, in spite of just talking about representing the whole district, refuses to meet with the unions," Turner said."If you want to representthewhole district you need to learn that those unions are more than half Republican and they're conservative Republicans."

Turner noted that he worked with union representatives while president of Blue Mountain Community College and that meeting with them doesn't mean he agrees with them.

Barreto said it's untrue that he refused to meet with union representatives.

"John and I both met with SEIU here at the campus.

Then, they sent out a form or there was a form to fill out, which I didn't fill out but did say I would meet with him," Barreto said.

"SEIU didn't call me back."

He said he didn't meet with AFSCME but it wasn't because he refused. cWith all of them, I told them I believe in right to work, and as soon as you say that, that's like the death sentence," Barreto said.

A Republican legislative candidate in Eastern Oregon says he's returning a $30,000 campaign contribution to Loren Parks, a Nevada conservative who has pumped millions of dollars into Oregon campaigns.

The contribution has become a distraction in the primary campaign, Republican Greg Barreto said.

Barreto owns a manufacturing company. His Republican opponent is John Turner, a retired Marine and former Blue Mountain Community College president who criticized Barreto for taking money from Parks.

The two hope to succeed Republican Rep. Bob Jenson of Pendleton, who's retiring.

Parks is in his late 80s and owns a medical equipment supply company in Oregon. He has put millions intoconservative candidates and political issues in the state, including backing Bill Sizemore and Kevin Mannix, notable for their statewideballotmeasure campaigns on crime and tax issues.

Parks has a website and YouTube channel where he dispenses personal advice on issues ranging from sexual dysfunction to post-traumatic stressdisorder.Barreto said he didn't know about that side of Parks.

O'Antoni Out

as Laker coach Mike O'Antoni has resigned as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, the team announced Wednesday night.

O'Antoni's resignation ends the brief tenure of the Lakers' third coach in less than three years, finishing with a 67-87 record with the team.

Last week O'Antoni asked the Lakers to pick up the team option on the final year of his contract to empower him to coach without constant speculation about his job status.

But, sources said, when the Lakers said they were unwilling to do that, the two sides began working out a settlement that will pay O'Antoni over half of the $4 million he was due nextseason.

When Cassie Wendt and her Eastern Oregon teammates hit the diamond this year for practice, something was drastically different — namely, they were having fun.

"Last year, practice was a drag," Wendt said."It was a no-one-wantedto-be-there type of thing, but this year we've wanted to getto practice."

First-year head coach Betsy Westermann created a whole new mind set.

In her inaugural season at the helm of the Mountaineer softball team, Westermann has changed the culture of the program, and the players responded with marked improvements that did not necessarily show up in wins and losses.

The Mounties finished 17-23 this

before losing the final six games, putting a slight damper on 2014.

"It's frustrating when you think you're going to be about.500 and then watching games slip away,"Westermann said."I definitely wanted to end the season with a couple wins to get that momentum into next year, so that was very difficult.u However, for the newcomer Westermann, who was an assistant at three colleges in South Dakota prior to arriving in La Grande, it did not diminish the strides the Mounties made.

"I didn't know what to expect coming in, so having a 17-23 season is a huge positive," she said."I've gotten a lotoffeedback from other coaches in the conference saying that the team is completely different. I was very happy to see the passion and the fire from the girls."

One shining example ofher impact See EOU/Page 12A

Eastern Oregon University men's basketball has added a new member for the 2014-15 recruiting class with Dylan Radliff signing his Letter of Intent to play for the Mountaineers, head coach Jared Barrett announced.

"Dylan is a highly skilled point guard that has the ability to score," Barrett said.

"More importantly, he will get the ball to his teammates when they are open and make the game easier. "He always seems to make the right pass and sees the floor very well. We needed a point guard and are grateful that Dylan chose to play for EOU." Radliff, a 6-foot-1,175 pound guard, is transferring to EOU after spending 201314 with NCAA Division II Central Washington University. Radliff appeared in four games during his stint with the Wildcats. He scored a season-high nine points against Dixie State on Nov. 15. Radliff shot 2-of-8 from the field and was 2-of-5 from behind the arc.

Before his stint at Central Washington, Radliff spent two years playing at Walla Walla Community College.

During his sophomore year, Radliff scored 17.3 points per game, and earned first-team Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges East Region honors.

With Radliff's commitment, the Mountaineers have four new players joining the team for the upcoming 20142015 season

Oregon track star Berry arrested Thursday

Continued from Page10A on the team was senior Mariebeth Watanabe. The leadofFhitter paced the Mounties with a.387 batting average after never hitting better than.278, and had 12doubles and 14 stolen basesin her first three seasons, she totaled just sixtwo-baggers and six stolen bases.

"Betsy came in with a lot of enthusiasm,"Wendt said."She's always positive and she makes practices fun,. We saw that transfer over to the games where people were excited to play."

That attitude helped create a shift in the Mountaineer program after Westermann took over for Aaron Jackson, the coach in 2013. Westermann held her players to a new set of requirements in the classroom, in the community and on the field, resulting in a more polished team fromtopto bottom.

"I really don't know what the previous head coach's standards were,"Westermann said."But from the way the girls carried themselves, and when I told them they had to meet certain expectations and thejaws started dropping,itm ade me realize that there hasn't ever been an expectation for them. Not only from a previous coach, but maybe they didn't hold themselves accountable either. It seems like simple things, but they can go a long ways."

Wendt said the players were surprised with the principles initially but saw the reasoning quickly.

Mountaineer shortstop Gracie Flyg tries to turn a double play earlier this season againstWalla Walla University.

"Itwas agood shock tobe held accountable,"Wendt said.cWe got away with a lot last year, way too much. Her biggest rule isjustbeing a good person in the classroom and on the field, and I've seen all of us change leaps and bounds in simply being good people."

With the season over, Westermann now gets to really put her imprint on the Mountie program . The coach anticipates steady improvement prior to next spring after signing nine new players for 2015.

"I'm extremely excited," she said."I honestly feel like there will be competition at each of the spots next year, which is going to help drastically in practice.

This is my first year as a head coach. I

have a lottolearn asdotheplayers,so it'sagreatprocessto be able to seeafter this first year what we can build."

The Mounties will also be motivated to improve after ending the season on a six game losing streak, something that will gnaw at Wendt until they hit the field for the first game next spring.

"It's a huge motivator for everyone that is returning,"Wendt said.cWe were right on the brink ofbeing.500. We should have won some of those games, so what we can do now is to make sure that doesn't happen again next year."

Berry was lodged in the Lane County Jail about 3 a.m. on the misdemeanor charge of interfering with a police officer. He was released an hour later.

Chavis was arrested and lodged in jail on two charges of misdemeanor assault, as well as for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Oregon head track coach Robert Johnson said in a statement that he is aware of the situation and will continue to gather more information. cWe expect our studentathletes to maintain the highest level of conduct as members of this university community and team," Johnson said."Once we have a full accounting ofthefacts,additional discipline will be handled internally."

The senior from Seattle has the fourth-fastest 400 time in the NCAA this season at 45.51 seconds.

The Associated Press Oregon track sprinter Mike Berry was arrested and booked into jail early Thursday morning after Eugene police alleged that he interfered with an arrest outside Max's Tavern on East 13th Avenue.

Police said Berry, a seven-time all-American and University of Oregon senior, ignored an officer's commands when another officer was arresting Demetrius Tracey Chavis, 29, just after 2 a.m.

he exploration of Oregon in the early 1800s with the Astorian-Overland Expedition and the Wilson Price Hunt Party is more than a history lesson as it sought an overland route from Missouri to FortAstoria, Jacob Astor's fur-trading post on the Oregon Coast, for it draws one woman, alone with her two small children, to the fore by their winter survival in the Blue Mountains, and her recognition to our area by the naming of Dorion Hall on the Eastern Oregon University campus.

Madame Marie Dorion, known early on as the Ioway Indian of the Sioux Nation, will be remembered May 10, through the dedication of an historical marker at the St. Louis Catholic Church near Gervaisby the Champoeg Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The marker to be placed commemorates Madame Dorion's life and her burial in the original St. Louis Catholic Church, a reminder of her service as the only woman on a long and difficult expedition from Montreal to the Oregon Territory with the Wilson Price Hunt explorers in 1811-1812. Her husband, Pierre Dorion, part French Canadianand halfSioux Indian, was hired as an interpreter ,bringing along his pregnant wife and two young sons under the ages of 4 years old.

At the time the group was passing through this part of northeastern Oregon, the Powder River area, in December 1811, Marie gave birth to her third child. A marker to thisevent islocated between North Powder and Union iPyles Canyon Road) on the old

Highway 30. The baby died a few days later and after its burial the Dorion family moved on to join the men of the party, who were resting and spending Christmas in what is now known as the Grande Ronde Valley.

The rest of the trip was besieged by issues, mainly Pierre Dorion's decision to leave the Pacific Fur Company to become a hunter in the Blue Mountains. That decision cost him and others their lives in a brutal and savage murder. Pierre Dorion's decision left his family to fight for survival in the winter of 1814. The ordealsuffered by Madame Dorion and her young sons, while left to fight the cold and pending starvation in the mountains, is visually described in the novel"A Name of Her Own" by Jane Kirkpatrick, one of the scheduled speakers at the May 10 event.

Marie Dorion and her two young sons were rescued in the Blue Mountains by the

DORY'S DIARY DQRYFLESHMAN Nez Perce Indians who were camped along the "River Wallow Wallow." Eventually, Dorion was married again, first to Louis Venier and later to Jean Toupin, settling in the French Prairie region of the Willamette Valley near St. Louis until her death and burial.

The history of Dorion Hall commemorating the Indian woman who helped take the Wilson Price Hunt explorers through the westward trip towardAstoriahasa story of its own.

Events leading up to the building and naming of the women's residence hall, constructed in 1939 on the Eastern Oregon College of Education campus — now Eastern Oregon University — is connected through the May 10 Daughters of the American Revolution Champoeg Chapter's event commemorating the life of Madame Marie Dorion.

The bravery and ability to withstand against all odds was recognized by EOCE's student Inez Wellman when the college held a contest to name the previously identified women's residence hall.

Her selection of Dorion was chosen and was so-named until a new Dorion Hall was constructed in 1958 on Sixth Street and the previous building was given over to the Hunt Hall men's dormitory unit that had been added in 1947, also in honor of the Wilson Price Hunt group.

Throughinformation garneredfrom old copiesof the La Grande Observer and the Eastern Oregon Review newspapers and the books of historian Robert"Bob" Bull, the women's residence hall was one of three buildings on the college campus in 1942.

However, its history began earlier when the bid for the dormitory was $74,291 and ground was broken for the construction on Aug. 24,

1938.

The building was referred to merely as the women's residence hall at its open house on May 15, 1939, following a Mother's Day tea held on May 13, by the Associated Women Students.

It remained so through its dedication held May 31, 1939, and the awarding of

that the U.S. economy is emergingfrom a deep winter freeze have raised hopes that hiring accelerated in April.

Economists are mostly bullish. They forecast that the economy gained 210,000 jobs in April, according to a survey by FactSet, and that the unemployment rate dippedto6.6 percentfrom 6.7 percent.

The government will release the April employment reportat8:30 a.m. Eastern time Friday.

If economists' forecasts are accurate, April will have producedthe largestburst of hiring since November.

That would show that the economy is producing consistently solid job growth.

Job gainstotaled 197,000 in February and 192,000 in March.

The steady pace ofhiring has encouraged more Americans to start looking for work. That's a hopeful sign that they think their prospects for finding a job have improved. In the first three months of this year, about 1.3 million people beganlookingforjobs,and most have found them.

Shoppers walk in front of stores at the Biltmore Fashion ParkonThursday in Phoenix. Consumer spending soared 0.9 percent in March, the government said Thursday, the most in 4-1/2 years. have pointed tofastereconomic growth after a dismal start to the year, slowed by a brutal winter.

Consumers are ramping up spending, businesses are ordering more goods and manufacturers are expanding. The strengthening numbers show that harsh snowstorms and frigid cold in January and February were largely to blame for the economy's scant growth at the start of the year.

The economy barely expanded from January through March, eking out an annual growth rate of just 0.1 percent, down from a 2.6percent ratein the final three months of 2013.

Americans spent more last quarter on utilities and health care, but their spending on goods barely rose.

Businesses also reduced spending, and exports fell.

One drag on the economy appearsto be thefaltering housing recovery. Home building and renovation de-

clined in the January-March quarter, slowing growth for a second straight quarter.

Builders started work on fewer homes in March than they did a year earlier.

Sales and construction may rebound later this year, but economists don't expect housing to contribute much if at all to growth.

Still, other data indicate that the economy was already rebounding in March and probably improved further in April. Auto sales jumped 8.5 percent in April compared with the same month a year ago, the best April sales increase in nine years.

Consumers spent more at furniture stores and other retail chains. Overall consumer spending soared 0.9 percent in March, the government said Thursday, the most in 4'/2 years.

Economists watch consumer spending closely because it makes up about 70 percent ofeconomic activity.

It's Your VOTE "YES"ON BAI.I.OTMEASURE31-84 o FOR ASTRONOER R AND BEITER COMMLINITY Q-1 Why have nonpartisan primary elections for county commissioners> Partisan primary elections limit choice of candidates for county commissioner to members of a particular party. If there are only candidates from one of the major parties on the primary election ballot, only voters registered with that same party can vote for the candidates. All other voters are barred from participating in the selection of who they believe is best to manage the business of Union County government.

Not allowing all voters to participate in election ofcounty commissioners produces results that do not capture broad community sentiment and creates the perception of unhealthy partisanship in commissioners making local government decisions

Q-2 Is this really a "big deal"~ Yes, because our system of government is based on the principle of fairness to all citizens. Making elections nonpartisan for county commissioners will ensure all voters have equalrights,and supports the idea thatour democracy must work foreveryone. Voters will feel their interests are better represented in county affairs.

Q-3 What will change if a majority of voters approve Union County Ballot Measure 31-S4> Beginning in 2016, all voters will be able to vote in primary elections for county commissioner candidates. If two candidates file for a commissioner position, the candidate with the most votes will be declared the winner and will not have to run in the general election. When 3 or more candidates file for the same position, the top two vote-getters will face a runoff in the general election.

SALEM — Hundreds of people rallied on the steps of the Oregon Capitol on Thursday to support immigration reform, including allowing people who can't prove they are legal residents to drive.

• Baker County mountain bike enthusiast touts area's 'lifetime of untapped potential'

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Pat Thomas is not a miner but he believes rich deposits can be plucked, by pick-axe and shovel, from the mountains of Baker County.

Thomas isn't talking about preciousmetals.

He's talking about mountain biking trails — both existing ones and those which could be hewn from the county's multitude of mountains.

'There's a lifetime of untappedpotentialhere,"said Thomas, who's a member oftheboard ofdirectorsfor Baker Loves Bikes, a group of local mountain and road biking enthusiasts.

Thomas, 38, and his wife, Elishah, moved to Baker City six years ago from Bend, one of the top mountain biking destinations in the U.S. "Baker County, in my opinion, has more potential than Bend will ever have," said Thomas, who grew up in Kansas City, Mo., and started riding mountain bikes in 1993 when he was living in Akron, Ohio.

Thomas quickly emphasizes that he doesn't mean he expects Baker City will ever resemble Bend, which has more than tripled its population, to above 80,000, over the past 30 years.

His claim refers specifically to Baker County's prospects for mountain bikers, both localridersand those who like to travel and explore new trails.

Baker County's greatest advantage, Thomas believes, is the diversity of its terrain.

Mountain bikers can, less than an hour's drive from Baker City, weave their way among the sagebrush at Virtue Flat east of town, or pedal through a subalpine forest at Anthony Lakes in the Elkhorn Mountains to the northwest.

"The Elkhorns are amazing mountains to ride a bike in," said Thomas, who tries to getin aride atleastthree times a week.

"Four days a week is awesome," he said with a chuckle.

He and his wife have two children, ages 6 and 7.

Baker County also boasts

the Elkhorn Crest Trail, a route that, in Thomas' estimation, has no equal in Oregon.

"It's oneofthe top three trails in the state," he said.

"There's nowhere else in Oregon you can ride a bike at 8,000feeton a trailthat's that long."

Although the Crest Trail

covers 24 miles, only the 14-mile stretch between the southern terminus at Marble Creek Pass, and Cracker Saddle, is open to mountain bikes. iThe northerly 10 miles, from Cracker Saddle to Anthony Lakes, passes through the North Fork John Day Wilderness, and mountain

bikes are prohibited in federal wilderness areas.)

But that 14-mile section, Thomas said, offers intermediateand advanced cyclists "everything." iHe cautions that the Crest Trail is not suitable for inexperienced riders.)

MINAM — Coolers of wiggly, slimy creatures with large sucking mouths slithered into the Wallowa River this week during the Nez Perce Tribe's third spring reintroduction of Pacific lamprey.

Once a staple in the Tribe's diet, these high-nutrient fishwere abundant in the Columbia and Snake River tributaries before hydroelectricdam construction,but unlike salmon, lamprey struggle to make it up and over the fish ladders.

Fisheries Biologist Todd Sweeny of the Nez Perce Tribe said each time lamprey hit one of the eight dams on their migration to their spawning grounds, 50 percent don't make it.

Those that do make it back to their natal home find their way through their tremendous sense of smell.

'The adult spawners cue in on the rearing habitat of the young," Sweeny said.'They have an incredible olfactory sensitivity."

Last summer lamprey were collected from three of the Lower Columbia dams — The Dalles, Bonneville and John Day — and were held at the Tribe's hatchery in Lenore, Idaho, until their spring release. Sweeny said the capture was done in conjunction with the Yakama and Umatilla tribes.

Sweeny said the lamprey were held in water half a degree off the Wallowa's current temperature of 44 degreesto help ensure theirsurvival.

Elmer Crow, a tribal member and fisheries employee, started the lamprey program a few years ago. Sweeny said 51 lamprey were released this year in the Wallowa, Asotin Creek on the Oregon/Washington border and in Idaho in Lolo Creek, Newsome Creek, the South Fork of the Clearwater and the South Fork of the Salmon.

Crow died last summer, but his passion lives on through the continued reintroduction effort. Sweeny saidthe eelreintroduced thisspring are specialbecause they are the last that Crow handled.

"He's still present with us; I hear him talking a lot to me," Sweeny said.

When asked how to check gender to ensure a good ratio for the released lamprey to spawn, Sweeny said it is difficult.

"It's the luck of the eel; I swear Elmer talked to the fish," Sweeny said.'There are a number of characteristics including the gap between the dorsal fins and the developmentofa pseudo-analfin,butwe don'tknow for sure how accurate that is. Everything we do with lampreyisa learning process."

Hunters' ollarstrulVmake a imerence forwil life

By JimWard One should think that with all the dollars that Oregon's sportsmen spend on hunting tags and licenses, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife would have a huge pile of money to work with each year.

Indeed, that's true, but when those dollars get siphoned into all the wildlife management programs the state is involved with, it gets spread pretty thin. A lot of very worthwhile projects simply slip through the cracks.

And that's where hunters, and the organizati ons they support,come to the rescue. In truth, that has been the case even before Dan'I Boone first poked a lead balldown thebarrelof his musket.

But real support came into play during the era of Teddy Roosevelt and, later, the formation of the Pittman-Robertson Act in 1937. This legislation put an 11-percent tax on guns and ammo. By 2010, this simpleprogram had generated an incredible $2 billion for this nation's

LAMPREY

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakerc)tyherald.com

The cuteness of the coyote pup was beyond dispute.

And the tiny, furry thing, its eyes barely open and its fur still damp with its mother's saliva, certainly seemed helpless.

Yet the odds are good the coyote would have been fine had it been left alone, said Brian Ratliff, district wildlife biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's

iODFV9 Baker City office.

ss .P

A Sumpter couple who were driving along Highway 7 toward Baker City on April 24 saw the pup beside the highway near Union Creek Campground.

Believing it had been abandoned, the couple brought the pup, a male that weighed about 2 pounds and was a little chilly but otherwise in good health, to a Baker City veterinarian.

The vet in turn called RatlilK Initially it wasn't obvious what species of animal the couple had picked up.

They thought it might be a wolf Ratliff doubted that was the case but he concedes that it's diKcult, if you don't know a baby animal's exact age, to distinguish between a coyote and a wolf.

Ratliff did, however, inspect the pup's teeth — its first molar was just erupting — and by thoseindicatorshe pegged thepup'sage at between 10 and 14 days.

The pup's weight of2 pounds was about right for a coyote of that age, Ratliff said.

A healthy male wolf by contrast, of about two weeks old would be expected to weigh considerably more, he said.

But Ratliff wanted to be certain the animal wasn't a wolf so he sent a DNA sample &om the pup to a lab, which confirmed the animal is a coyote.

Ratliff said he understands why the couple picked up the pup. Because it was near the

Northeast Oregon's wildlife has certainly not escaped the benefits of generous sportsmen. Ducks Unlimited has spent over $1 million on our own Ladd Marsh to enhance wetlands.

A Sumpter couple found this coyote pup beside Highway 7 about 17 miles southwest of Baker City on April 24. highway, rather than back in the woods away from anyroad, the animal seemed especially vulnerable.

Nonetheless, Ratliff said that in almost every situation involving a baby animal,"the best thing you can possibly do is leave it and call us."

M others often leavetheiroffspring before they go hunting for food, Ratliff said.

But they usually return.

Ratliff said he can't explain why the coyote pup's mother left it where it was.

It's possible the mother left the pup at the top of the highway cut bank and the animal rolled down it and couldn't climb back up, Ratliff said.

Or perhaps the mother was crossing the

highway, the pup in her mouth, and she was fiightenedby a carand dropped the pup, intending to return later.

Ratliff said this is the first coyote pup he's had to deal with in 10 years in Baker County.

It's much more common for people to bring in deer or elk fawns in late spring — he said he gets six or so of those most years.

The coyote pup story might turn out to havesomething ofa happy ending.

Ratliff said an ODFW employee drove the pup earlier this week to the ODFW veterinarian's office in Corvallis, where officials will try to find a wildlife facility that wants the animal.

If they can't do so, the coyote will be euthanized, he said.

OHA banquet, antler sale soon May 10 marks the UniorAVallowa County OHA chapter's annual big-game banquet at the Blue Mountain Conference Center in La Grande. The following day, May 11, the group will sponsor its antler auction at Hot Lake — about seven miles southeast of La Grande. For more information call Jed Farmer at 541-562-6267 or Morgan Olson at 541-786-1283.

There's been bighorn sheep and pronghorn transplants, habitat acquisitions and a zillion dollars spent on wildlife research — just to name a few examples.

Many hunting organizations have donated much-

neededdollars and sweat to help Northeastern Oregon wildlife. The Oregon Hunters Association is a prime example, with 27 chapters in the state.

Annual fundraisers bring in thousands of dollars and

funnel those proceeds to such things as habitat, big-game research, predator management andyouth programs.

Unique among most national organizations, the group has a policy of allowing nearly all of the dollars raised at local fundraisers to be used by the chapter that raised the money. The rest is allocated to state programs through a grant process.

Since its inception in the early 1980s, the Union/ Wallowa County chapter of the OHA has been active in benefitting local wildlife programs. In the past few years,

Continued ~om Page 1B The reintroduction has proven successful so far. Last fall Sweeny, along with other tribal fisheries biologists, electroshocked the reintroduction site in Minam and found juvenile eels living in the river. They were measured and released back to the Wallowa where they will live until they morph into what's called a"macropthalmia" phase, much like when a salmon or steelhead turns to a smolt, and heads to the Pacific Ocean.

Sweeny said they turn a silvery color, like smolt, and their filter feeding hood turns into a disc.

To track the lamprey, Sweeny said tissue samples were taken from the adults. The genetic code within those samples can trace juveniles back to their parents.

'This is groundbreaking research. We are in an interesting situation working in a natural laboratory," said Sweeny.

Lamprey get a bad rap due to the confusion between Pacific lamprey, which are native to the Columbia Basin, and Atlantic lamprey, invasive species that made their way &om the ocean and up the Erie Canal to the Great Lakes where they decimated lake trout populations.

"Pacific lamprey are native and integral to the ecosystem," Sweeny said.

So integral that Sweeny said they may play a vital role in salmon recovery due to their high fecundity. Adult females have the potential torelease asmany as 100,000 eggs in the Snake River tributaries and upwards of 250,000in coastalrivers.'They provide a prey base for young salmon and trout," said Sweeny.

As for human consumption? Sweeny said he ate roasted lamprey at a ceremony. It tasted like the combination of a hot dog, a stick ofbutter and a chicken neck. As greasy as one was to pick up and eat, Sweeny said all of the oils absorbed into his hands. That oil is used in medicine.

Sweeny said the tribe refers to lamprey as the "lost fish."

'They are pretty amazing critters."

They've funded many habitat projects on the wildlife area, leveraged thousandsofdollarstoward Wallowa County's bighorn program and purchased m uch-needed equipment for the local department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon State Police.

A scarcity of riders hardly distinguishes the Crest Trail among local mountain biking spots, though.

The absence of crowds brings benefits — little chance of rubbing chains with another rider, for instance— but alsodisadvantages, Thomas said.

Becausemost trailsare lightly used, the Forest Service and BLM have little incentive to &equently maintain the routes.

And unlike the Bend area, where the Central Oregon

tion of volunteer mountain bike groups in Baker and Union counties.

"I'm very pleased with the amount of energy and dedication from these groups," Ermovick said."These small grassrootsorganizations,we need to give them some level ofsupport."

Although Ermovick said Thomas is correct in the sense that the Forest Service isn't likely to embark on a major mountain bike trailbuilding campaign any time soon, the agency can assist with such things as better m aps and more detailed signs along trails.

Max Forgensi, a natural resources specialist in recreation for the Whitman Ranger District, has seen firsthand how mountain biking can bring tourists, and their dollars, to a small rural town.

He moved to Baker City in August 2013 after working forthe previous decade for the Forest Service in Moab, Utah.

That town, like Bend, is

one of the major mountain biking destinations in the West.

Forgensi agrees with Thomas that Baker County, and the whole of Northeastern Oregon, has the raw material, in terms of terrain and space, to become a haven for mountain bikers.

'There's just not much developed here," Forgensi said.

Baker County is especially deficient, as Thomas noted, in maps and well-signed riding areas, Forgensi said.

"Something similar to the Mount Emily Recreation Area would be beneficial," he sald.

That area north of La Grande has a well-maintained network of mountain bike trails, and there's also a useful map online at www. lagranderide.com/mera-map.

The La Grande Ride Inc. website also has informationabout other trailsnear La Grande, as well as some in the Elkhorns near Baker City, at Phillips Lake and Virtue Flat, and in the southern Wallowas near Halfway.

The Blue Mountain Singletrack Trails Club also maintains a website — www. bluemountainstc.org/ — with information about local trails, including several in Baker County.

Colburn, of the Blue Mountain club, agrees with Thomas and Forgensi that Northeastern Oregon's eclectic riding options give theregion an advantage of many areas.

"A lot of people enjoy different types of mountain biking — it's what really like about this area," Colburn said."It's still a work in progress."

tera grisly history ofelectrocutions, gassings, hangings and firing squads, it is the cold, quiet science oflethal injections that has become America's most common and favored method of executing its worst criminals.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled sixyears ago that such injections did not violate the Constitution's provisions against cruel and unusual punishment, clearing the way for states to administer the lethal cocktails under their own, sometimessecretive,protocols.

But a gruesome lethal injection gone wrongin Oklahoma has dealt death penalty supporters a potentially stunning setback this week, coming at a time when popular support for capital punishment has fallen and reliable lethal-injection chemicals are becoming harder and harder to get.

Clayton Lockett's unwieldy execution has triggered an already controversial internal investigation and prompted calls for a lethalinjection moratorium across the U.S., with experts predicting the Supreme Court will facegreaterpressure to rule on whether states can refuse to tell inmates the makeup of the drugs that are being used to end their lives.

"The public has a right to know how we are carrying out this very grave responsibility of the state," said Oklahoma state Sen. Connie Johnson, one of several state lawmakers calling Wednesday for a yearlong moratorium on executions in the state.'This

The American Massage Therapy Association is the largest nonprofit, professional associatio n for massage therapistsin North America. The AMTA works to advance the profession through ethics and standards, the promotion of fair and consistent licensing of massage therapists in all states.

One of the things Combe and the board of directors will be working on is organizing the AMTA's annual convention, which will be conducted Sept. 17-20 in Denver. Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiol ogistbestknown for hissyndicated television program 'The Dr. Oz Show," will be the keynote speaker. Combe said Oz's appearance at the convention will be an indication of the stature the American Massage Therapy Association is continuing to gain in the medical community.

Combe hasserved aslicensed massage therapist for 14 years. He has received many honors during his career, including the American Massage Therapy Association's 2013 National Meritorious Award. The honor recognizes the work Combe has done to advance the American Massage Therapists Association.

Euhus said, "In gunshot wounds the pattern of the wound andblood splatter are quite important in recreating a scene."

Murders do not take up the majority of the team's time but any death not attended by a physician must be investigated. That includes deaths at home.

May is National Osteoporosis Month, and since prunes have been linked to bone health, Americans are urged to listen to their bones this month and start taking action to keep bones strong and healthy.

Two recent studies in postmenopausal women suggest that eating prunes may help contribute to bone health. Thewomen in the first study ate12 prunes each day and saw an increase in markers of bone formation. Thesecond study found that when the women ate10to12 prunes per day, they saw an increase in bone mineral density in the spine and forearm.

HEARING Continued from1C buzzing noises, which an estimated 50 million U.S. residents experience.

"Researchersbelieve there is neuro misfiring going on caused by hearingdamage,"said Dr.M axon. ''With tinnitus therapy, we insert sound back into the ear, and it masks out the tinnitus. Using a sound therapy application on an iPhone, a patient can hear that sound through their own hearing aids and hearing prescription, and they administer tinnitus therapy to themselves."

Another function that works with your hearing aids is listening to music or watching movies on your iPhone. The accompanying sounds go straight through your hearing aids as you watch your iPhone or listen to music, and it's all cordless.

When using FaceTime isimilar to Skypingl on your iPhone or iPad, a hearing aid wearer can talk on video, and again, the sound streams right into the hearing aids.

"So the beauty of it is that all the sounds run through the prescription of your hearing aids so it's fine-tuned to your hearing needs, and you hear it with clarity, instead of having to wear headphones with only basic hearing levels," said Dr. Maxon.

"This is also great for runners and people who are working out."

To integrate with the Starkey "Halo" hearing aids, one's iPhone has to be fifth generation or newer.

Your audiologist will fit the patient to the hearing aids and offer training and counseling.

This state-of-the-art technology will not put audiologists out ofbusiness. Patients will still need an audiologist toperform the foundational work of accurate testing, writing the hearing prescription, measuring and validating it, performing follow ups, fine tuning, cleaning and counseling.

"An audiologist is still your center for help, and we're here to support you," said Dr. Maxon, "but this allows the patient to make those fine-tuning changes for their own environment and customize it for their own lifestyle."

Muscles have some natural ability to regenerate after small injuries. But if too much is lostfrom a car accident, a sports injury or,for soldiers,a bomb blast— the body can't heal properly. Hard scar tissue fills the gap instead. Called volumetric muscle loss,a severe enough injury can leave an arm or leg essentially useless.

Badylak cautioned, those cells w on't getthe message to boost muscle mass, and scar tissue could return.

To start proving that's what happens, Badylak's team first removed chunks of leg muscle from mice and administered the treatment.

In-depth tests showed which cells moved in, and showed that they created working muscle.

Then it was time for human testing, with three military veterans and two civilians. Each had lostbetween 60 percent and 90 percentofan affected leg muscl e — two from the thigh, the rest from the lower leg — anywhere from about a year to seven years earlier.

The men, in their 20s and 30s, underwent a few months of customized physical therapy to get their muscle function to its maximum capacity.

Then they received the implants, followed by more physical therapy that began within 48 hours after surgery.

Six months later, biopsies and medical scans showed some new muscle grew in all the men. Three patients were officially deemed a success because their legs were strongerby 20 percent orm ore after the surgery. They had dramatic improvements in tests showing they could hop or squat on the injured leg. Badylak said the two other men had some improvement in balance and quality oflife, but

not enough to meet the study's definition of success.

Nick Clark, 34, of Youngwood, Pa., suffered severe muscle loss after he broke his lower leg in a skiing accident. He had a hard time balancing and taking stairs, and sometimes needed a cane. He tried to ride his bike but his left leg was too weak topedal far.

He received the experimental therapyin 2012.Itdidn'trestore him to normal, but he now reports biking "quite a distance" and play-

ing pingpong, his left leg finally strong enough to pivot around the table.

"Day to day, that's had a pretty big impact just to be able to walk that much better," Clark said."It's been a significant difference. I was hoping for more improvement when I first did it, but yeah, I'm definitely still pleased with it."

Researchers around the country are exploring different ways to spur the regeneration of various body parts, and many focus on injecting stem cells or tissues grown from them. Wednesday's approach is more novel.

"This strategy obviously has some merit, "said professor George Christ of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, who wasn't involved with the new study. While larger studies must verify the findings, "the concept of physical therapy coupled with theseregenerative strategiesis going to be really important."

DENVER — Colorado's marijuana experiment is threatened by the popularity of eating it instead of smoking it, leading the pot industry to join health officials and stateregulatorstotry tocurb the problem of consumers ingesting too much weed.

A task force gathered Wednesday to start brainstorming ways to educate consumers, including a standard warning system on popular edibles, which is the industry term for marijuana that has been concentrated and infused into food or drink.

One idea was to fashion labels on edible pot like the difficulty guidelines on ski slopes, a system very familiartoColorado residents.

Weak marijuana products would have green dots, grading up to black diamonds for the most potent

• Small 3D printers carried into the field to create prosthetics for children injured in the war in Sudan ByAndrea Chang Los Angeles Times

''We should have a marking so that when people come in, they know what they're getting," said Chris Halsor of the Colorado District Attorneys' Council.

Marijuana-infused foods are booming in the state's new recreational market.

Some chooseediblepot because ofhealth concerns about smoking the drug.

Others are visitors who can't find a hotel that allows toking and are stymied by a law barring public outdoor pot smoking. Whether through inexperience or confusion, many are eating too much pot too quickly, with potentially deadly consequences.

A college student from Wyoming jumped to his death from a Denver hotel balcony last month after consuming six times the recommended dosage of a marijuana-infused cookie.

And earlier this month, a Denver man accused of shooting his wife reportedly atepot-laced candy before the attack, though police say he may have had other drugs in his system.

The deaths have underscored a common complaint from new marijuana customers — they say they don't know how much pot to eat and then have unpleasant experiences when they ingest too much.

Colorado already limits THC — marijuana's intoxicating chemical — in edible pot productsto 10mg per serving, with a maximum of 10 servings per package. Exact comparisons are tricky because marijuana varies widely in potency and quality, but 10mg of THC is considered roughly equivalent to the amount in a medium-sized joint.

Edibles must be sold in opaque, childproof containers that explicitly warn the product contains marijuana.

Coloradoalso bans retailers from adding concentrated pot toa premade food item, such as injecting cannabis oil into a branded candy bar, though the move is common among home cooks.

Marijuana producers at the meeting warned that Colorado may drive consumers to use untested, unregulated edible marijuana instead of potpackages sold in storesif regulationsgotoofar.

Dan Anglin of EdiPure, maker of many popular kinds of pot-infused candies, pushes for warning labels and better training for dispensary employees.

arrived in Sudan with little more than a toolbox, rolls of plastic and two microwave-size 3-D printers.

He had endured a weeklong journey from Los Angeles, with stops in London, Johannesburg and Nairobi beforereaching Juba, thecapitalof SouthSudan.From there,heflew on a small twin-engine plane to Yida, where at a refugee camp he found Daniel Omar.

Ebelinghad read a magazine article a few months earlier about the 16-year-old, whose hands and forearms had been blown off two years ago during an airstrike launched by the Sudanese government. The boy's plight resonated with Ebeling, who tracked down the remote hospital where Daniel had received treatment.

Over Skype, Ebeling told Daniel's doctor: I think I can help.

After meeting in Yida, Ebeling and Daniel caught an 11-hour ride in the back of a Land Cruiser to Gidel, Sudan, a volatile region in the Nuba Mountains where Daniel's doctor tends to amputees and other victims of the civil war plaguing the country.

In a small tin shed, Ebeling connected a 3-D printer to a laptop. The printer began melting plastic to form three-dimensional pieces, which he then joined together like Legos. He workedoffa design created by a carpenter fiiend who, after accidentally severing four fingers with a table saw, had built his own prosthesis.

It took two days for Ebeling to print and construct a skeletal plastic hand bolted to an arm-like cylinder. Nylon cordsattached toeach plasticfinger snaked up the length of the apparatus so that when the wearer flexed his or her elbow, the cords tightened and pulled the fingers into a fist.

Once the prosthetic device was fitted to Daniel's upper arm, the boy was abletowave,tossan objectand feed himself with a spoon, major feats for someone who had been forced to rely on others for the most basic everyday tasks.

It was, Ebeling recalled later,"on par with watching my kids being born."

Ebeling didn't set out to be an inventor.

A Hollywood producer, he works on television shows, commercials and films, most notably executive producing the opening title sequence for the James Bondmovie"Quantum of Solace."

The 43-year-old graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in political science. He has no medical or engineering background and no formal training in designing or building prosthetic devices.

But today, Ebeling finds himself the unlikely leader ofateam dedicated to tackling the physical limitations that arise from conditions such as blindness and paralysis.

The group calls itself Not Impossible. Volunteers work out of a bungalow tucked behind the Venice Beach home that Ebeling shares with his wife and their three boys.

Mick Ebeling, CEO and founder of Not lmpossible Labs, is shown at his office in Venice, Calif., Hewlett-Packard garage," he says of the light-filled two-room space with mustard-colored walls and woodbeam ceiling. A towering bookshelf brims with books and thick binders. A 3-D printer sits on a shelf in the corner.

A largewooden table iscovered withprototypes ofprostheses and bags of screws. And on a white piece of papertacked toa wall,som eone has scrawled the word "impossible," with a red X slicing through the first two letters.

Ebeling's unexpected foray into making medical devices began in 2007, when he attended a benefit for a graffiti artist who had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. Over time the artist, known as Tempt One, had become trapped in hisparalyzed body, unable to speak, gesture or draw.

At first, Ebeling considered donating money for Tempt's healthcare costs. But after meeting with the artist's father and brother over lunch in Los Angeles, he pledged to do more.

He reached out to engineers he met at a design conference, pitching them on the idea ofbuilding a low-cost eyetracking system. The end result: the EyeWriter, apairofglassesaffi xed to aWeb camera that enablespeople to draw on a computer with their eye movements.

Using the device, Tempt was able to create graffiti again.

The EyeWriter was named one of the 50 best inventions of 2010 by Time magazine, and a TED talk that Ebeling gave on the glassesreceived more than 850,000 views after it was posted on the nonprofit's website. A team from Samsung contacted Ebeling to say it was building its own version based on the EyeWriter's design.

'Thank you for your idea," a Samsung Creativity Lab team member in South Korea wrote in an email to Ebeling. "It inspires us and let us to help people in need."

The success of the EyeWriter led to the official formation of Not Impossible, a community of about two dozen innovators — PhDs, engineers, physicaltherapists,designersand computer programmers — from around the world who drop by the Venice bungalow or videoconference in for brainstorming and hacking sessions.

They're now tinkering away on the

BrainWriter, a device thatreads brain waves andeye movements to engage and disengage a computer mouse, and the Alex Mouse, a mouth-controlled joystick that enables quadriplegics to operate a PC. There's also the Chad Cane, which uses ultrasound to warn peopleabout obstaclesin their surroundings.

Ebeling is the ideas guy, coming up with a concept but then leaning on others with more expertise to execute it.

"I like to call him the action figure.

He rallies people together," said Elliot Kotek, Not Impossible's chief of content.

Ebeling sees the world simply: If there's a problem, he wants to fix it.

His parents were philanthropists in Phoenix where he grew up, and he fondly recalls watching them open a shelter for abused women and a clinic that provided free healthcare to single working mothers.

"The best way to motivate me is to tell me no," he said."It's a childish reaction, but it's who I am."

The plan is to eventually make Not Impossible's products available for purchase online and in stores.

Ebeling's goalisto go a step further by putting the ability to build the gadgets into the hands of individuals who have no engineering know-how.

To prove that such devices are simple to make, Not Impossible is making its inventions open source: The sofbvare is available to anyone free of charge.

People who want to create their own EyeWriter, for instance, can visit Not Impossibl e'sw ebsiteto download the software and view a listofm aterials, many of them found in typical households."Here's what else you'll need: 1x cheap sunglasses, 1x webcam, 1x floppy disc, 1x wire hanger, 1x wire cutters.... " The site then provides a four-step video tutorial on how to build the device. Total assembly time: as quick as one hour.

Ebeling took that teach-a-manto-fish approach with him on his two-week Sudan trip in November, training Daniel, his doctor and eight refugees how to print and assemble prosthesesusing donated laptops and 3-D printers that Ebeling left behind.

We all have things we'd like to forget — being the victim of a crime, a bad relationship, an embarrassing faux pas. What if we could erase those bad memories? Or at leasttake theedge offthem?

Over the last10 or 15 years, researchers have gotten a better understanding ofhow memories are formed and recalled.

Dr. Susannah Tye, an assistant professorin the departments of psychiatry and psychology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., says that bad memories affect people on two levels.

There's the recollection of the traumatic event, as well as a physical aspect — a person's heart may race or they may get depressed or withdrawn — that can be debilitating.

'These memories, when they're traumatic, they've beenstoredeffectively because they're very important," she says.

Science hasn't found a delete button you can hit to eliminate certain memories, though researchers are looking. In the meantime, Tye suggests, "a psychologist or psychiatrist with expertise in trauma can help facilitate what the individual can do."

The very process behind therecollection ofan event is still not fully understood, though we're discovering some surprising things. ''We don't remember everything, only bits and pieces," says Jason Chan, an assistantprofessor ofpsychology at Iowa State University.'We take these pieces iwhen we recall a memory) and reconstruct a story that makes sense to us. But it might not be correct."

Those memories can also be altered. Writing on the Scientific American Blog Network earlier this year, neuroscientist R. Douglas Fields explained that when a specific memory is recalled, it is vulnerable to being altered or even extinguished for a certainperiod oftim e.

Chan is doing research along those lines. His team's studies, published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that if a memory is reactivatedby beingrecalled — a process called reconsolidation— itbecomes susceptible to being changed. ''We found you can make it harderforpeopleto remember a previous event if they recall it,and rightafter that you give them information that's diferent from the original memory," he says."iltl makes it more difficult."

As an example, he suggested a conversation in which he talks about a panda."A couple days later, I ask, What was the animal we talked about?' You say, 'A panda bear.' I say, 'Actually it was a grizzly bear. '...A coupleof days later I ask again, and it will be more difficult for you to remember the panda bear.

The grizzly bear has updated the memory."

There are other methods of altering memories. Certain drugs, protein inhibitors, have been shown to make memories more malleable.

Electric shocks to the brain can also erase certain memories, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have found a gene that can help with memory extinction. Even alcohol can

do the job.

TRAVEL TIP

We were excited to worship here on such a special day. We arrived early expecting to have a slight parking problem,but itappeared we were too early so waited a bit in the car.

The crowds did not come. We entered a sanctuary that would have easily held 250 only to find about 15 or so persons scattered among the pews. In the extreme front, there were about 30 more who had come to have family members baptized. The service was very flat — no joy in the people or the music. The magnificent organ which could have played something wonderful and uplifting gave us offerings that were heavy and dreary. And again we could understand nothing that was said.

Following the service we were invited to visit with the Hans Mammen family in Westerstede. Dale had communicated with Hans by email but hadn't determined whether or not they were related. Again language was a problem, but not one that couldn't be overcome.

Over a few sweet treats and tea, we managed to communicate enough to find that there was no family connection, but we enjoyed the fellowship and provided entertainment for the family and some of their friends who came to the house to see the people from America.

We drove back to Jever and found a lovely restaurant for our Easter dinner.

Dale had so many questions regarding the menu that the waitress took him back to the kitchen to talk with the chef. It was worth the visit as his dinner was superb. iMine was also delicious and I especially enjoyed the fresh

WILLAMINA — Just the words, Niagara Falls, provoke an immediate response.

Whether you live in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest or deep South, the iconic waterfalls straddling the New York and Ontario border are so ingrained in popular culture that most can visualize it without ever visiting.

Which is why people react with a double-take when you speak of a little-known destination in the Oregon Coast Range called Niagara Falls.

Despite the famous name, and despite its close location to Salem, few people have even heard of this spectacular hideaway in Siuslaw National Forest.

Two waterfalls eclipsing 100 feet thunder into a secluded box canyon, throwing mist into a fern-and-mosscoveredforestbestexplored during winter or early spring.

And unlike the more celebrated Niagara, which lures 12 million tourists each year, chances are you'll be enjoying Oregon's version in solitude.

"That you can hike this frail and not see another personispretty special,"said J.W. Cleveland, Hebo Ranger District trails manager."It's a true hidden gem."

The fact that Niagara Falls Trail exists in such anonymity, considering its beauty, does seem strange on the surface.

A hike of two miles roundtrip, the trail showcases waterfalls, wildflowers and coastalforest.

But Niagara has strikes against it. Stuck in a remote no-man's land between Mount Hebo and Willamina, reaching the frailhead requiresnavigating a seriesof sometimes-confusing Bureau of LandManagement and Forest Service roads.

I set out with a GPS device and maps to establish a mileby-mile route from Salem to Niagara Falls Trailheadsomething not readily available online or in books, which usually give directions from the coast. Following days ofheavyrain,Ifigured the waterfalls would be booming and the chance for photos at its best.

What I found was a drive of one hour and 20 minutes that wasn't nearly as bad as expected. There are even helpful pointers along the way, though most were crippled by the shotgun blastsfrom people apparently offended by signposts.

And the hike exceeded expectations.

Spring brings out wildflowers, including trillium and candyflower, and atrio ofbridges crosses trickling streams.

The frail drops downhill at a steady grade and before you know it, the waterfalls come into view, splashing and roaring like next door neighbors in this misty, tight canyon.

It's a beautiful place any time ofthe year,butespecially in late winter and spring when the waterfalls are roaring at full bore.

The first waterfall on the trail tests whether you brought a rain jacket. Pheasant Creek Falls drops 122 feet down a thick basalt outcropping,spraying a heavy m ist over the bridge crossing below it.

Where does the name "Niagara" come from?

Oregon's Niagara Falls wasn't named in honor of the famous waterfalls on the East Coast — it was named for a local landmark.

Problem is, figuring out which landmark has been the source of some dispute.

Not only that, some insist the names of the waterfalls have been incorrectly swapped.

O t l i g h t BY K ATE O'HARE

luke Newberry~is ~ once ~again ~ f~or BBC America ~ Last year, BBC America offered a different sort of zombie tale with the premiere of the three-episode miniseries "In the Flesh," and on Saturday, May 10, it returns with six new episodes that take place nine months after the first-season fi nale.

Luke Newberry stars as introverted teenager

Kieren Walker, who, isolated and depressed over a loss, killed himself — only to be resurrected on the day of " T h e Rising," when all those who died in the year 2009 returned as brain-eating zombies.

TTtis set off a war between the living and the undead, with roving bands of militia wiping out the zombies. But a drug was discovered that could halt the zombies' deterioration

and prevent them from needing to kill other humans to survive.

Along with many oAers, Walker — now considered a PDS (partially deceased syndrome) sufferer — went through rehabilitation and, with a daily injection of medication to control his homicidal impulses, was sent back to family in the village of Roarton in Lancashire, England.

With contact lenses to cover his white eyes and makeup to restore his pale zombie skin to a semblance of normality, he can now "pass"

among Ae living.

Unfortunately, Kieren had already killed a girl in his hometown before rehabilitation, so his past constantly haunts him as he tries to figure out the rest of h i s l ife as one of the

walking semidead.
