from the La Grande Urban Renewal Agency. ewe had some parties that came forward and shared black and white photos from the building'searly days, "said developer AlAdelsberger. cWe wanted to try to accommodate for them." After Adelsberger and grocer Troy Berglund gave their pitch to the Urban Renewal Agency in March, they draftedasecond rendering for the building, one thatincorporated trellises and curved windows to mimic the historic building. Those who supported the historic Atlelsberger rendering were inspired by the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, which suggests that historic building storefronts be preserved. Prior to becoming Blockbuster, the building served as a grocery store, according to La Grande City Planner Mike Boquist. 'The sidewalk that exists along the alley frontage was part of the building's main entry. I don't have any records to confirm this layout, but this information is consistent amongst people I have spoken with," Boquist said."Originally, the grocery property also included the Community Bank property, which was improved and utilized as thegrocery store parking lot." Because a rendering had already been dispersed through the community, Adelsberger decided to put a survey online asking people which rendering they preferred. "Nearly79 percent votefor No.1,"he said. "I'm not going to say that decision is 100 percent made yet." The developer emphasized that he would build the project either way — if the Urban Renewal Agency opts to allocate the $500,000 loan forthe project. "I'm really interested in commerce,"Adelsberger said."For me, the look is secondary to the purpose of it." The $500,000 request from the city would come in the form of a loan, which could be convertedto agrantifcertain criteria aremet .La Grande Community and Economic Development Director Charlie Mitchell said last week that the agreement is in the planning stages, but they are looking at a requirement of 10 full-time jobs and SeeDesign / PageGA

Many in La Grande thought a plan to place a bigger Oregon State Police Forensics Labpossibly in La Grande — had simply been put on hold. A February Request for Information from the Oregon Department of Administrative Servicessuggestsotherwise. The state has moved to site a new forensics lab in the Pendleton area, according to the RFI. A plan to locate a lab in La Grande by consolidating labs in Pendleton and Ontario was shelved in July 2012. Rep. Greg Smith intervened at the request of Umatilla County commissioners to keep the lab in Pendleton, the East Oregonian reported at the time. That announcement came following the retirement of OSPSuperintendentChris Brown, who had advocated for siting the lab in La Grande. In December 2012, La Grande officials were still under the impression that the forensic lab was in limbo but not that SeeLab / PageGA

QUOTE OFTHE DAY "The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority." — Ralph I/V.Sockman, American clergyman

ENTERPRISE — Wallowa County dedicated a safespaceforvictim interviews in a ribbon cutting ceremonyFriday morning. District Attorney Mona Williams and members of the multidisciplinary team gathered to officially open Helping Hearts at the Stewardship Center in Enterprise. A stategrant paid for electronic equipment and some of the furnishings for the suite of rooms built in what was once the Wallowa Memorial Hospital emergency room. In 2007, the hospital moved into its new building on Medical Parkway and in 2010, the old building was given to Wallowa Resources. Since then it has been transformed into health care and natural resource office space. "The idea of using forensic interviews for children who are victims of abuse is being done all over the state,"Williams said."This is consideredthe bestpractice in dealing with child abuse cases where a trained interviewer gets the story directly from the kid." Before Helping Hearts was built, which includes an interview room, a children's play room, a lobby, a conference room and office space, victimsofabuse or domestic violence were taken to the

The 38-unit Blue Springs Crossing apartment complex would provide housing for low-income residents. It would be located at Mulholland Drive and Walton Road, southeast of Walmart. The Blue Springs Crossing complex would be developedby Guardian Real EstateServices ofPortland and managed and owned by the Northeast Oregon Housing Authority. NEOHA is a nonprofit organization that manages governmentsubsidized units in Union, Wallowa, Baker and Grant counties. Guardian Real Estate announced its intent to construct the low-income housing complex last summer and recently submitted a formal plan and application for it. The plan is now being evaluated by Winterbrook Planning of Portland to make sure that it conforms to all zoning ordinances and codes. Winterbrook Planning is contracted by Island City to provide planning services. Should any portion of the plan not meet requirements ofthelocaldevelopment code, Island City would have to grantvariances before the building project could proceed. Guardian Real Estate initially submitted a plan to Island City earlier this year, but a portion of the plan was found to not be up to code. Guardian Real Estate then revised the plan and resubmitted it. The City of Island Cityreceived therevised plan late last week, Howton said.

day. With those facts in mind, it's good the Healthy SNACZ Fairs are taking place in Cove, Elgin, Imbler, North Powder and Union last week and this week. The fairs are for fourth through eight grade students. Yet all children — and adults too for that matter — need to take the information to heart, because it's their heart that they're going to save. Few items are more important than learning to make good nutrition choices. It's a lifelong skillwith temptations everywhere in all waking hours in this land of plenty — and at least some of the students will take home the information to help their families become more healthy. We all know, deep down, that good nutrition leads to better health and a happier life. So why is it so hard to stay the course? Most people eat several times a day and perhaps consume a couple of snacks. Each time a meal is prepared, or one eats out at a restaurant or fast food joint or grabs a snack, choices are being made. These choices can slowly, incrementallydrag us down orlik us up. It's our choice. Good nutrition starts with making healthy choices in the grocery store aisle. A smorgasbord of temptations await. Many so-called "food products," the processed food made to tempt the American palate, are breathtakingly high in sugar, salt and fat. Those three culprits are the triumvirate that has led to

the childhood obesity epidemic — and the obesity epidemic in general — as the American population becomes increasingly overweight. What's at stake? Our physical health and our financial health. With the skyrocketing cost ofhealth care, and the big bite insurance takes out of pocketbooks, it's important that Americans get their health under control. Eating healthy foods, however, won't prevent all sickness. Even people who exercise relentlessly and eat healthy can get struck down with the occasional illness. There are no guarantees. Still, making healthy choices improves the odds that we will stay sharp, clear and vibrant more of the time and have less chance of succumbing to the big killers — cancer, heart disease and diabetes. We can have a better quality of life through getting in the

habit of making good choices. If the students learn to make better choices, more of the time, and pass this information on to their families, the Healthy SNACZ Fairs will have made a diference. The tide of fast food and products laced with extraordinary amounts of sugar, fat and salt is strong. Every victory counts. A little information can make a big difference in reversing that tide and living healthier lives. The sooner we start in life on making good choices, the better off we will be.

To the Editor: A coupleofyearsago,Im eta college student who wanted to be a physician's assistant. I asked him, "Have you met Sue Peeples? You'll learn how to do the technical aspects of your job in school. Sue can show you the people part." Like any of us, that young guy will probablyexperience loss,betrayaland other tragedies. Given the chance, I'd steer him toward Sue again. Before her ordeal was over, she was regrouping and creating new ways to be in service. She's ended the chapter, but not her story. Once again, Sue is showing us the people part.

3ackman:LMS staff,teachers care about every child To the Editor: The one-sided article'When is it

Bullying?" iMonday, April 21l made La Grande Middle School stafflook unfair, uncaring, incompetent and even neglectful. It gave specifics on incidents that LMS staff can't comment on. LMS stafF is held to confidentiality laws and can't share specifics of what they do to stop bullying, past events, victims' behavior, events leading up to or the aftermath of these specific reports. Basically, law prevented stafFfrom defending themselves. The article didn't report the days the administrators at LMS stay working through their dinner hour, take calls at home to help parents and students or the hours of follow up for any misbehavior. It didn't show what they do. It was sad to read a horrific event being used by people to justify their anger and dissatisfaction with LMS. Maybe the adults were unaware or in denial of what role their child played. We have all seen the signs that read "Watch That Child." Parents, take that sign literally. Stop pointing fingers and look at your own parenting skills. Teach right and wrong and take time to teach consequences. Then teach them to accept responsibility. Watch what they do, write, say. It may surprise you. Somehow, families are forgetting it's their job to raise their children, not the schools. Families, "the most important work you will ever do will be done within the walls of your own home" iHarold B. Leel. To the community, before you pass judgment to the lack of safety at LMS, stop and ask these questions: • If it was unsafe at LMS, would Mr.

Jackman have his children attend LMS? • Does the article show both sides with facts, without bias? • What do you know of the family/ victim making the accusations? • If LMS were truly an unsafe place, why aren't there more of the 530+ students complaining? There are many good students at LMS and great stafF who care about every child. Keep up the hard work, LMS. I trust you with my family, and there are a lot more families who do than don't.

Hopkins: Mark you ballots for Greg Barreto To the Editor: I have been wondering about something. How come Wallowa and Union counties have been represented in the Oregon House and Senate for decades by folks from Umatilla and Morrow counties? Those Republicans representing us have joined the Democrats on tax measures, especially additional income tax. If you have liked the moderate voting of BobJenson,Greg Smith and David Nelson, you will love John Turner. Now, we have someone on this side of Cabbage Hill who will vote conservative Republican principles. Greg Barreto will notvotetoincrease taxes. Union and Wallowa counties do have enough Republican voters to outvote Umatilla county. Spread the word among your communities to getyour ballots marked for Greg Barreto and turn them in.

Hansell said the concern from his standpoint was how the move from a lab in Pendleton to a lab in La Grande could hold up trials and legal processes.

Tom Kenny, currently the algebra teacher at the high school, is retiring this month after 29 years of guiding teenagers through numbers and equations. Kenny has also been an assistant wrestling coach since 1978.

About the series

Continued from Page1A wildlife, hopefully after the tourist season is over." Having belonged to the local wrestling scene for more than 30 years, Kenny is also transitioning out of his roleas an assistant toKlelCarson's Tiger program, but his end date is still up in the air in that aspect. "It's time for me to move on with wrestling too, but I'll still be around for a while," Kenny said."It's kind of a tricky situation to find another assistant, but when somebody's available I'll step aside." The one certainty is that his days instructing youth are coming to an end. Kenny fondly recalls the best virtue of teaching. "Itisa challenge,butit'stheopportunity to make a difference every day," Kenny said."Kids haven't changed too much over the years. It's nice to be there for them. It's definitely somethingtogetup for.They keep you hopping, and you have to be on your game to survive sometimes." Kenny knows it will be strange when the summer ends and school begins anew, and he won't be taking his usual spot at the high school. 'Teachers spend as much time, or more, with the students as their parents do at times," he said.'The kids have good and bad days, but one of my

Even before he was a teacher, however, Kenny was a wrestling coach, starting in 1976 when he moved here. Working as a drywall contractor, he hooked up with Grande Ronde wrestling legend Verl Miller, whom Kenny called the "patriarch of the valley," assisting on Miller's team starting in

1978. Under Miller's reign, from 1974 to 1997, Kenny aided in state championships in 1978 and 1996, with nearly adozenTiger grapplers moving on to college programs. It was during those early stages that Kenny decided he wanted to move into teaching full time. 'The wrestling did get me into teaching," Kenny said."I knew I liked working with kids. They just went hand in hand." One of Kenny's lasting impacts as a coach will be his willingness to not just talk the talk. In the midst of practice, Kenny likes to jump on to the mat

That's something I really will miss." One of those kids that got firsthand knowledge of that was Carson, the head coach since 2007. "He's64 yearsold and he stillgrabs kids," Carson said."He's just really good at taking a kid and showing him whatever he needs. It doesn't matter the size of the kids, he'll help out the bigger wrestlers as much as the smaller guys." Carson said Kenny's contributions to the wrestling scene in the area are incalculable. "I think he's helped produce 18 state champs,over 120 all-stateathletes," Carson said."The success is great, but it's been the impact he's had on people's lives.He'sbeen able to gain thetrust of alotofkids,and they have a lotof confidence in what he tells them."

• Elgin wins 22ndstatetitle Observer staff

Future Business Leaders of America was founded almost eight decades ago by Hamden Forkner, a Columbia Universityprofessoralso credited with developing a once populartype ofshorthand. The type of shorthand Forkner developed is rarely used today, but FBLA is thriving nationwide. In few places is FBLA hotter than in Union County, where La Grande, Elgin, Imbler and Union recently stood out at the State FBLA Leadership Conference in Portland. Elgin continued to dominate at the Class 2A level, winning its fifth straight state title and its 18th in 19 years. Elgin was pushed by Union, which placed second. Union is the last school to beat Elgin at state, winning the state Class 2A title in 2009. The 2A category is forschoolswith 90to 190 students. Elgin's dominance has been under the guidance of Peggy Anthony, who has been the chapter's FBLA advisor for close to 30 years. Anthony has led Elgin to a total of 22 state titles. La Grande High School also turned in a strong performance, placing fourth in the Class 4A category. The 4A categoryisfor schoolsw ith 331 to 675 students. Imbler shone at the state Class 1A level, placing second. The Class 1A category is for schools with 89 or fewer students. Following are the individual state FBLA results for schools from Union and Wallowa counties.

Mariota made the intra-squad scrimmage look easy while his backups struggled for the most part. The fourth-year junior would have been a first-round pick in Thursday's NFL draft had he left afterthe 2013 season. The other four Oregon signal-callers currently on the roster were unable to improve their footing in the competition for the No. 2 position behind Mariota.

All three are competing to back up Mannion in the fall. Del Rio led a 12play, 70-yard scoring drive, which was the lone scoring play of the day.

Unfortunately for Elgin/ Imbler, by the time Joe Griffin started to turn the tide in the Huskies' favor in the second contest, the damage was already done. After running away with five runs in the opening inning to fuel a 13-1 victory in the first game, Nyssa once again took early control with four runs in the first inning of the second tilt. The Bulldogs took a lead that was never threatened as they won 9-2 to sweep the doubleheader in Elgin. Nyssa smacked four hits en route to three runs during the first inning of the nightcap before Elgin/ Imblerrecorded an out. GriSn relieved starter Reid Graves, who gave up an RBI single to Josh Buchholz, and then promptly secured three straight outs.

The race pits talkradio host Bill Post against business owner Barbara Jensen to represent a district anchored in Keizer.

The most crowded primary is in a Portland district now represented by Democratic Rep. Jules Bailey, who is leaving the Legislature to run for a position on the Multnomah County Commission. Six Democrats are vying for the party's nomination for one of the state's most liberal legislative districts. No Republicans have signed up to run in November.

That includes rolls, biscuits, pizza crust, tortillas and even grits. The requirement is part of a government effort to make school lunches and breakfasts healthier.

NO CHILD LEFT INSIDE

CeledratinoCincodeMayo

MEG HAWICS

Spring's here: Go out and see, smell, feel My friend has a couple of mantras that she lives by. One is "No Child Left Inside," which I conveniently borrowed for the name of my column. Another that she promotes and frequently quotes on social media sites is "No Moms Left Inside." I'm going to change that to "No Parents Left Inside" and use it for this column. Though both of these catchphrases are a play on the education law known as "No Child Left Behind," they are wise words all parents should live by. When I think of No Parents Left Inside two things immediately come to mind. First, enjoy life,and passthatdesire on to your kids. Watching the tulips and other flowers bloom, listening to birds and hearing water run in a stream often remind us of the simple things in life. Spring presents many of these opportunities to enjoy those simple things that can bring us joy. Kids are curious and intuitivethey seek to see, smell, hear, and touch new things. Give them every opportunity you can to allow them to take it all in. You don't have to pack up and head to the trails; this is possible in your own backyard or on a walk through your neighborhood. Look for flowers, listen for birds, jump in puddles. Seek out the good things in life, things that are real and uplifbng. SeeSpringlEbge 2B

lid. Really! You may wantan explanation why this can be. Or, maybe you don't. I'm going to tell you anyway. You see, way back in 1912 my Swiss grandfatherFritzhad a nephew who joined him in the U.S. from their native country. His name was August, but they called him Guisti. M y grandfather owned a greatdeal of the hillside land along the Mill Canyon Road (Morgan Lake Road) from just about the power plant clear up to almost Morgan Lake. As he was building his family home and fencing off enoughacreage to have a dairy,fields ofclover,fruittrees,barns,gardens and dancehall, he decided to sell a few acres to this nephew Guisti after his arrival from the old country. Guisti arrived early in 1912 and he lived with Fritz's family helping out with the building and chores. Then he sent back home for his intended bride. Her name was Marie, but Guisti christened her with an American name of Mickey after Walt Disney's cartoon character. SeeDory I Page 2B

Pasillo Chile Dip — be prepared foryour guests to askyou about the ingredients.

By Karen Kain Cinco de Mayo is a much bigger holiday in the United States than in Mexico. It originated with Mexican-American communities as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War. Today we observe Cinco de Mayo asa celebration ofMexican heritage and pride. Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for "fifth of May." However, it is not Mexican Independence Day, which actually occurs on September 16. In honor of Cinco de Mayo I am sharing with you some of my very favorite recipes. Any excuse to cook Mexican food works for me. Here are three ofmy favorite dip recipes. You will find that the Pasillo Chile Dip recipe is unique in its contents and flavors. Each time I serve this dip it leaves my guests curious about the ingredients and always asking for more. Anothergreatrecipe isBarb's Roasted Salsa. One of my favoritethings about roasted salsa is that you can add most anything to it. I encourage you to be creative and add your favorite ingredients. You can always addmore or lessheat as you desire. Finally, a simple guacamole dip is always a party pleaser. Serve all with chips or tortillas.

Pansearing:Askillthatshoul e inyour regertoire By James P. DeWan Chicago Tnbune

Stop meifyou've heard this one: Culinary school. Day 1. Pound cake. I ask the instructor how long to leave it in the oven."Until it's done," she says."I know," I say, "but how long do I leave it in the oven?"And she says, again, annoyed,"Until it's done." Now, my memory's a bit fuzzy on the details, but, as I recall, we went back and forth like this for several hours until, finally, after clonking me on the head with her rubber spatula, I understood her point: Cooking, like everything else in the known universe, follows the laws of the universe il know I've said that before). This means that, in order to predict an outcome, say, the time it takes a pound cake to get"done," you need to understand all the variables: How hot is your oven, really? How thick is the batter? Icould goon. What I learned that day was, I had a lot to learn and a lotto practice.Oh,and the value of a good clonking. Today, we'll apply those principles to one ofthem ost common kitchen methods: pan searing.

WHY YOU NEED TO LEARN THIS Pan searing isgreatfor any relatively small piece

Bill HoganI Chicago Tahune

Pan searing meat produces a lipsmacking, golden brown crust surrounding a perfectly cooked inside. Flip the meat after one side reaches the desired doneness. Unfortunately there is not set time on when to turn or how long to cook.

Continued from Page 1B Many evenings at dusk, right beforethekidsgotobed,we siton our front porch to listen to the robins singing. It's a great way to wind down for the night. As parents we need to take the time to point out simple joys — if we don't then who will? Second, No Parents Left Inside for sanity sake! Being a parent can be a whirlwind of emotions. Sometimes the best way to deal with the chaos of parentingisto remove ittrom your home. When I say"it,"I mean yourself and your kids. When you feel as if stepping on one more Cheerio or picking up one more wood block is going to put you over the edge, then go outside! If you feel like going outside is too much effort then I'd say that's even more of a reason to find motivation to go outside. Going to the park, on a bike ride, throwing rocks in a river, or going for a quick hike is like hitting a reset button in my household. I understand how hard it is just to get out the door some days, but I also understand my sanity and my family's sanity depends on it. Maybeit's justme but I find that many of the rewarding aspects ofbeing a parent come trom sharing what I love with my kids. I'm compiling a bucket list of local outdoor things to do with kids this summer and will put this list in a future column. I'm goingtousethislistto getoutside more this summer and I hope it would help you do the same. If you have any local kid-triendly activities that you'd like to see on this bucket list I'd love to hear them. You can email me at eohawks@gmail. com.

Most labelsare very informative and will give you the overallheightand spread ofa tree at maturity. A little advance planning can prevent a great deal ofheartachelater. And rule number three will be to simply remind everyone to plant more than they can use, if at all possible, and give it away.

By Lesley Clark WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed Friday to tighten sanctions against Russia's economy if it continues to provoke violence in eastern Ukraine and disrupts this month's Ukrainian presidential election. At a Rose Garden news conference, Obama said he and Merkelpreferred a diplomatic solution to the crisis but would "move quickly on additional steps" if the elections were impeded. "The next step is going to be a broader-based sectoral sanctions regime," Obama said with Merkel at his side. The administration had previously said it would impose wider penalties against Russia's economy if Moscow moved troops across the Ukraine border. But the presidentsaid a disrupted election in Ukraine would leave the U.S. and Europe with no choice "but to move forward with additional, more severe sanctions." Europe had backed a measured pace of sanctions, but Merkel said Friday that further steps would be "unavoidable" if the election didn't stabilize the crisis. "This is something that we don't want," she said through a translator."But we are firmly resolved to continue to travel down that road" ifRussia doesn'tagree to a diplomatic solution. Obama, who's come under criticism at home for not imposingmore severesanctions

''We do think that Mr. Putin and his leadership circle aretaking bad decisions and unnecessary decisions," Obama said. The U.S. and the European Union have already imposed two rounds of sanctions on Russian officials with close ties to Putin and on several Russian companies. Merkel, who's said to have a good relationship with Putin and had spoken with him earlier this week, wouldn't say what she'd gleaned &om the conversation. But she said Russia had failed to live up to an agreement to de-escalate the situation and thatitneeded to persuade pro-Russianseparatiststo releaseseven international observers who were being held hostage, including four Germans.
