• Pblice remind drivers, cyclists to pay attention, be seen on the roadways By Kelly Ducote The Observer

Eastern Oregon University student Courtney Millsap has been riding bicycles in La Grande since she got here five years ago. It's not always fun. "It's terrifyingtobe on a bike in this town," she said. Millsap, who lives relatively closeto campus, also drivesa car. She bikes when the weather is nice and her errand list isn't too long. She prefers, though, leaving the city for a ride on Hunter Road or Foothill Road, where

driversseem tobe more familiar with cyclists, she said. "A lotofpeople who drive Foothill know there are bikes," Millsap said. Learning there had been three vehicle vs. bicycle accidents in La Grande within an eight-day span didn't come as a huge surprise to her. oiDrivers arel paying attention to other cars and not necessarily cyclists," she said. The La Grande Police Department responded to two such accidents in one day earlier this month. On June 10, police responded to a crash about 9 a.m.

and another just before 5 p.m. In the first crash, it was determined the bicyclist was at fault, said Lt. Derick Reddington. "That person was traveling the wrong way on the roadway," he said. When a vehicle turned out of an alley, the bicyclist was struck. In the second crash that day, the vehicleoperatorwas atfault "for making a dangerous left turn," Reddington said. The driver of the car was attempting to turn left into Millers at Greenwood and Madison. The front-end of the vehicle See Safety / Page 5A

BEND — Yet another Oregon county is looking for a drought emergency declaration from Gov. Kate Brown. A request from Sherman County along the Columbia River Gorge has made its way through committees to the governor. She might decideon the declaration for Sherman County as soon as this week, said Chris Pair, press secretary for Brown. 'That's actually on the governor's desk now," Pair said Friday. Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties already have drought designations. Brown declared a drought emergency in Crook County in early April, Deschutes in late May and Jefferson earlier this month. All three Central See Drought / Page 5A

In all, Gov. Kate Brown has declared drought emergencies for 19 out of Oregon's 36 counties so far, said Cory Grogan, spokesman for the Oregon Office of Emergency Management.

Citycouncil aims tosettlei:oster GrouSlawsuit • Case stems from dispute over Elgin Mobile Home Park By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

The Elgin City Council may soon settle a lawsuit filed against them by the Foster Group in 2008. The council will make a final decision about a settlement at Tuesday night's city council meeting. The Elgin Mobile Home Park, owned by Foster Group, and the city have been going back and forth since the lawsuit was filed. The Foster Group originally sued the city for blocking an entrance to the mobile home park; the city had blocked the entrance because the mobile home park did not have a varianceforit. While the lawsuit has grown to be much more complicated than that, spanning nearly seven years, the City of Elgin wants to move past it. According to the city council agenda packet, the city council is willing to pay, through the city's insurance, CIS Insurance Group, a lump

sum of $35,000, pay a $60 per month credit on park utilities, up to $15,000 and the "lawsuit and all claims contained within it or that could have been included will be dismissed with prejudice and without costs or attorney fees to either party," according to the documents. Foster Group has applied for the driveway easements

Firefighters work on containing a fire on the second story of the Sommer Building on Depot Street in downtown La Grande Friday. On arrival, crews found a small fire near one of the windows facing Depot Street. The fire was knocked down quickly, limiting direct fire damage to the area of origin. Smoke and a small amount of water damage occurred elsewhere in the downtown building, according to a press release from the La Grande Fire Department. The occupant of the apartment was not home at the time of the fire. Fire officials said an investigation determined the fire was likely started by an electric fan that was being operated at the point of the fire's origin.

and a setback variance that will allow the city to begin the process of making the entrances legal. Also at Tuesday's meeting, City Engineer John Garlitz will present the new Ninth Street pavement improvement project. The project isdesigned to salvage and reuse as much of the existing roadway pavement and base material as possibleto provide the most value to the city of Elgin, according to the council's agenda packet. The city council has also startedtoreceive theircity council packets electronically to save paper and money. The council recently began using iPads and are working to get all the documents and emailsontothetablets so the city will not have to print out so much paper, according to City Administrator Brock Eckstein.

Fire hydrant testing and maintenance Once again it is time to start the annual fire hydrant testing and maintenance program. The City of La Grande Public Works Department will be conducting these tests this year starting June 15, 2015. This program is very important to allow the public works department to identify the quantity of water available for firefighting purposes and it serves to rid the city's water distribution system of accumulations of sedimentation deposits over the past year. Citizens who experience any unusual water clarity problems after the hydrants are flushed are encouraged to turn on a coldwater faucet outsidethe house and let it run for 5 to10 minutes. This will normally clear up the agitated water from the service line to the home. Further problems may be referred to the La Grande Public Works Department by calling 542-962-1325. Testing ls expected to take place Monday thru Thursday from 8:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m. until ALLhydrants are tested. -

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE I666

OUR VIEW

It was a small step forward last week but relevant nonetheless when House Bill 3274 was signed by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. The bill directs the Oregon Business Development Department to conduct a study and collect reports to lawmakersabout expanding broadband and telecommunications infrastructure in rural towns and counties in Oregon. Framed against the ongoing negotiations between lawmakers of both parties regarding a state trans-

portation package, a bill like 3274 could easily be overlooked. Yet even though the aim of the bill is modestreviews and studies are fine, up to a point — the fact isany kind oflawmaker-sponsored move to expand broadband telecommunications in the rural areas of the state is a good idea. While many rural areas of the state already boast plenty of choices regarding Internet connectivity, finding a viable method to enlarge the existing broadbandand telecommunications framework even in the most remote areas can set a foundation for future prosperity. A solid broadband network can lead the way to measurable economic expansion and put a rural, seemingly out-of-the-way place inside the interlocking global market. Many areas of the state already boast a viable broadband system, but some areas of Oregon are still locked out of this obvious infrastructure improvement. House Bill 3274 may have been lost in the shuRe — in terms of proper voter attention — during last week's Legislative session, but it is one of those piece oflegislation that could be the first step toward a brighter future for many areas of this great state. The real test will come, as it always does, aker the reports have been submitted to legislators. Then it will be up to lawmakers to find a proper framework to move forward. For now, though it is a small step, the lawmakers deserve praise for promoting House Bill 3274 and the governor did the right thing by signing it.

Your views McCracken: Davidson an arsonist shouting fire To the Editor: Sometimes arsonists become perceived heroes by reporting and then working on the very fires they create. Mark Davidson's statements on the financial straits of Union's Buffalo Peak Golf Course bring this to mind. The Observer story"Buffalo Peak's future not quite so bleak?" on June 3 quotes Davidson as saying"(Theyl raisedagood question (about the golf course and its future)."As county commissioner, Davidson has annually allocated huge amounts of county money to sustain the financially failing Buffalo Peak course without transparency, effective management plans or exit strategy. Accordingtothe Observer article, Union County owes $1.5 million on a loan involving the course and is $1 million"in the hole." Presumably that's after being awarded large annual county subsidies from wind farm money and other discretionary funds. Meanwhile, funding and action has been minimal for the trail from Riverside Park to Island City. That was proposed roughly 10 years ago and is still not completed. A trail would provide free healthy recreation opportunities and safe alternativetransportation for a wide demographic group with almost no maintenance costs. But money flows freely into a golf course serving a relatively few affluent residents, while requiring expensive county funding. County funds should be spent in the best interests of the county as a whole, not pandering to well-connected individuals. Former county commissioner and golf pro Bill Rosholt was the county commissionerin charge ofoverseeing thegolf course. A classiccaseof"thefox guarding the hen house."When Jack Howard was elected to replace Rosholt, he inherited the current dismal situation. Likely it was Howard's investigation and brainstorming that brought light, transparency and new ideas to the golf course situation. The Observer should have interviewed Howard, not Davidson. Howard has exposed the ongoing state of affairs with Buffalo Peak and has delved into the possibility of protecting county money by suggesting new ideas for a more sustainable operation. Ideally, Howard will propose withdrawing county support if new management plans don't create a self-sustaining cash flow. Davidson is the arsonist shouting

GRV stands for Grande Ronde Valley and the name Outskirts is inspired by the column you're reading, with thanks to the Observer for sharing it. While GRV Outskirts serves as the new official site for the Union Chamber, it's growing into a collaborative effort between Union and the five other small towns ringing the valley: Cove, Elgin, Summerville, Imbler and North Powder ifor good measure). The idea is to encourage people to visit all of these unique communities while exploring the region's natural beauty. GRV Outskirts is on Facebook, and printed guides are in the works. Volunteers are welcome to help. Contact the Union Chamber at 541-562-6003 for more information.

She cures ailments and heals wounds. Fixes broken bones and stitches up lacerations. Her patients may have four legs, but they're small people to her just the same. Dr. Mary Aiwohi, veterinarian and owner of the Grande Ronde Mobile Vet Clinic, opened her clinic in 2006 in Summerville. She had previously been at a practic ein Nevada for 20years.Itw aslocatedin Fernley,a onceruralarea that boomed and multiplied into too many subdivisions for Aiwohi's taste. It w ent from5,000 peopleto 15,000 toofast. "It was the fastest growing place in the nation," she said. On a road trip through Oregon, Washington and Idaho, Aiwohi came to Summerville and was actually just up the road from where she now lives. She fell in love with the Grande Ronde Valley and though it took a couple of years, Aiwohi and her family moved to Summerville. "I love this unit," she said."I'm more in contact with my patients. I have lower overhead and more time. This is a nice, gentle way to practice." Her practice in Nevada got to be too much. It was intense, and while she enjoyed that, it was time to move to a rural area and enjoy the calm. Aiwohi said her love for animals came at a young age. When she was 8 years old, she had a cat that was sick. Her family went to a few vets, all of whom told Aiwohi's family there was nothing much they could do. Then, they went to a lady veterinarian, Aiwohi said happily with a proud tinge to her tone, who gave the family some hope. "She saved the cat," Aiwohi recalls. "And that was it. I knew I wanted to be a vet." Aiwohi said she's always learning new things and, obviously, she said, she gets to work with animals all day. "My patients and the families become extended family members," she said. Starting her practice in Fernley was similar to starting her practice in Summerville. She said you begin a practice and at first, you worry about whether the bills will be paid. Then there's a time where everything becomes perfectthere's enough patients coming in to pay the bills but it's not too busy where it's overwhelming. Then that passes and there's the overwhelming amount of patients because of the positive response from the community. She said she's just getting to the place where it's almost too much to handle by herself. She has Dr. John Cisco, another veterinarian who works part time, to help her with her patient-load, she said. "I have 10- to 12-hour days sometimes," she said."I try to take three days ofKIt' sa sweeterway to practice." Aiwohi said she enjoys the outdoors. She likes to go running with her dogs, and enjoys hiking and bicycling. With her current practice, she gets more freedom to do the things she loves. Times have changed when it comes to researching animals and dosages, she said. She'shad to research theproper dosage fora pelican,and she'shad

The Internet has helped her a lot, she said. She used to take books off the shelves to do her research, and the likelihood she had a book on pelicans or wallabys wasn't very good. Now, it's all at her fingertips. She's also part of a Veterinarian Information Network where she can post questions on a website and fellow vets will respond with their input within a

AT A GLANCE

Spieth wins second major Another major for Jordan Spieth. Another stunning loss for Dustin Johnson. Chambers Bay delivered heartstopping drama Sunday in the U.S. Open when Spieth birdied his final hole to become only the sixth player to win the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same year. The real shock was not that he won, but how he won. Moments earlier, Spieth could only watch as Johnson had a 12-foot eagle putt for the victory. Johnson ran the putt just over 3 feet past the cup, and his short birdie attempt to force a Monday playoff rolled past the lip.

Nationals' ace no-hits Pirates Max Scherzer lost his bid for a perfect game in startling fashion, plunking a batter with two outs in the ninth inning before finishing off a no-hitter Saturday in the Washington Nationals' 6-0 win overthe Pittsburgh Pirates. Scherzer came within one strike of throwing the 22nd perfect game in major league history since 1900. Pinch-hitter Jose Tabata was all that stood between Scherzer and pitching's ultimate achievement. Tabata fouled off three 2-2 deliveries, then seemed to slightly drop his elbow and got clipped by Scherzer's slider. Scherzer immediately grimaced as the ball ricocheted to the ground. The crowd at Nationals Park seemed stunned, too, and surely many wondered whether Tabata had leaned into the 86 mph pitch to get hit. Scherzer (8-5) then retired Josh Harrison on a deep fly to left and was swallowed up by jubilant teammates near the mound.

The East squad knew it had reachedthe time to getserious. The team had made it a competitive first match, but ultimately the West team swept the East, 25-22, 25-20, 25-19.

A victory by the East All-Stars tied the Class 1A Oregon Athletic Coaches Association football series yet again. Crane's Travis Landon threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third score, leading the East squad to a 26-12 win over the West in the 26th annual OACA 8-man All-Star Game Saturday at Community Stadium. The win broke a two-year streak for the West All-Stars and knotted the series at 13 wins apiece. "It was great,"Wallowa's Micah Fuller said of the experience."Everybody out theredeserves tobeoutthere.They'rereally good athletes, and it was a really good game to just challenge us to do our very best." After a scoreless first quarter, Landon capped a seven-play scoring drive with a 22-yard pass to Adrian's Jett McCoy to put the East squad ahead 6-0 almost two minutes into the second quarter. It was the first of three second-quarter touchdowns by the East. Adrian's Morgan Whitestretched the lead to 12-0 on a 1-yard run on the option, while Landon dazzled with his feet for the third East score. See Victory IPage10A

After fishing their first of five poker cards out of a pool of mud, runners made their way down the trail to a roughly 30-foot-long mud trench. The onlyway through was to army crawl under a barrier through the muck. Any runners who weren't dirty from the pool were plastered by the time they were through the trench. Otherobstaclesincluded a footballstyle tire run, a mud slip-and-slide and a tire flip. At the end of each obstacle, they dug a card out of a bucket of mud — all while running or walking 3.1 miles.

Continued from Page 8A and the 100-meter walk. Kevin Leonard, who co-head coach Doug Trice said was in his first year of the program, won gold in the softball throw and 100 run. Nick Mendiguren achieved gold in both the running long jump and the 100 run, and Mary Lee added two more golds in the softball throw and the 100 run. "Itwas a greatday for everybody. We're happy campers," Trice said."For Mary Lee to get a couple golds, that'sgreat.Thisisher second year in the program." Joey Goss narrowly missed getting two golds, finishing with a gold medal in the 100 walk while earning a silver medal in the shot put. Dani Thorne took home a gold medal in the 800 run while also taking fourth in the softball throw, and Jason Franks won gold in the standing long jump and placed fourth in the

100run. A handful of Union County athletes also came up just short of gold but had great days, nonetheless. Judith Asper, who Trice also said was in her first year, earned silver medals in the softball throw and the 100 walk. Justin Bowling won silver in both the softball throw and the 100 run, and Autumn Rush took home silver in the 100 walk while placing fourth in the softball throw. Charlie Page claimed a bronze medal in the standing long jump, and also finished fifthin the 100run. Braden Trice won bronze in the shot put and placed fourth in the 100 run. Much like all the surrounding area, Saturday was warm in Milton-Freewater, but hada slightbreeze.It wouldn't have mattered to the team, however. "That's what is awesome about this program," Bowen said.'They don't complain about anything. They can

persevere through hot and cold weather and still displaythatteam effort." Bowen and Trice both praisedtheparents ofthe athletes for inspiring them on and aiding in transportation. "I'd like to give a shout out

By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

If you're a fan of farmfresh produce, chances are you don't know what you're missing. Those feathery carrot topsyou justtossed? Edible. Dittogoesforthe green leafy topsofbeets and radishes and the stalks and leaves of broccoli. Alltoooften perfectly ediblevegetable parts are tossed in the garbage. With farmers market season in full swing, it's time to reconsider how we use the veggies we buy. When it comes to wasted food, the amount is mounting. Each year, Americans w astesome 40 percent ofall ediblefood,according to the National Resources Defense Council, a New York Citybased environmental watchdog agency. Contributing foodwastefactorsinclude unharvested fields, quality and appearance standards, mishandling and improper storage, the council says. Add to that not knowing how to prepare whole vegetables. Using an entire vegetable can yield more value and variation. Not only are stalks, stems and leaves tasty, but some have entirely different flavors than their bulbous base or floret. Broccolistalkshave a sweetertaste compared with their florets. Feathery carrot topstastelike herbs and can be used as such. And beet greens mellow when sauteed and can add a peppery flavor when added raw to salads. Mark Nowak, owner of Seeley Farm in Ann Arbor, Mich., estimates that only halfthe people who buy vegetablesfrom his stand atthe AnnArbor Farmers Market know they can use the whole plant. "Radishes, their flavor, can get spiky, and beet greens can get coarse," Nowak says. "Anything younger is more edible and a lot of times more nutritious." Savvy shoppers like Nathalie Lambrecht, 23, and Elliot Jackson, 24, both of Ann Arbor are among those in the know. They love beets, including the leafy green tops. Recently, at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, they were buying golden beets, a favorite that they usually steam or roast. rWe eat(thegreen tops) raw in salads or saute them with olive oil and spices," Lambrecht says. Not being wasteful, the two reap as much as they can from the whole plant. r We cut a thin slice off the top and sprout more greens,"

MIXED GREENS AND LEAVES SALAD Serves: 6/ Preparation time: 15 minutes /Total time: 20 minutes This is the salad to make when you have a bunch of radish and beet tops or any other greens and any other vegetables you need to use up.

Turnips and other vegetable might have more legs in the kitchen than one might think.

Jackson says.r We've even roastedthe beetgreens in the oven — they are more like chips." When it comes to vegetables, Sally Brandtneris, 57, of Ann Arbor believes how people eat is coming full circle. In the past, she says, "you had to use everything." Brandtneris cooks a lot of cauliflower and broccoli and has found recipes for using the stalks. "We use beet tops and lotsofchopped herbs in salads and the green parts of young garlic," she says. ''What I don't use, I usually compost." When it comes to fresh herbs and fennel fronds, Brandtneris goes a step further. "I use in them in flower displays," she says. "They look pretty in the kitchen."

Penny Tandy, offrce manager of The La Grande Family Practice, was surprised when the business received the seasonal commercial award. "Someonenominated us...wehad no idea until we got the phone call at the end oflast week," Tandy said. Originally the landscape upkeep was providedby a professional landscaper but Tandy, who enjoys yardwork, has been overseeing it as well as planting shrubs and flowers. ''We try to keep it up as nice as we can for patients that come in," Tandy said.

side dish.

MAKE THE MOST OF IT Here are some ways to get the most out of veggies and herbs. BROCCOLI STALKS • Cut into thin coins, place on a sided baking sheet and toss with some olive oil, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Roast at 400 degrees until edges are brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.

CILANTRO OR PARLSEY STEMS • In a large saucepan, combinet/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro stems with 2 tablespoonssalt,1teaspoon black peppercorns, 2 garlic

cloves (peeled and crushed) and 1 small white onion (peeled and cut in half) and add about 8 cups water. Bring to a boil. Add four boneless chicken breast halves, reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let chicken cool in mixture. When cool, remove the chicken and shred it for another use. LEAFY GREENTOPS OF RADISH AND BEETS • Wash green tops thoroughly in big bowl or clean sink of cool water. Swish them around to remove any dirt. Heat about 2 tablespoonsolive oiland crushed garlic over medium heat and saute tops until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve as a side dish. STOCK • Keep a plastic bag in thefreezertoadd vegetable scraps or unused pieces (broccoli stalks, onion pieces, asparagus ends, carrots, celery ribs and leaves) to make stock.

Basil has hit the big time. It's now America's favorite herb. Gardeners shopping for seeds and plants can fmd a wide variety, fmm the small-leaved lemon to luxurimt Italian ones such as Genovese. This spring I grew two seed flats of a purple basil named cinnamon. The intention was to raise the seedlin@forthegarden, but the weather at the time was too chilly to set the plants out, so they sat amund in a sunny spot indoors, gmwing tall and lanky. I cut some stems for bouquets, with the usual dismal result. But I noticed that where I had cut them, justabovethefirstsetof leaves, they soon grew two new stems. One day when I needed afresh herb to perkup a salad, Ipicked some ofthe longest of these new shoots and added the leaves to my bowl. Those regrew as well. So I kept the flats amund and gotinto the habit of using them. One day I placed whole leaves on crackers with cream cheese, capers and smoked salmon, and took them to a potluck, where they won raves. Indoor basil cultivation mightreduce the risk of your favorite herb getting a disease called downy mildew. A bright windowsill in an air-conditioned home could also allow you to raise cilantm, dill and fennel greens now.. Trybasil first, but start smpping the tips of the stems early on to get plants that are shorler, bushier and look a little more housebroken than mine.

What should I do? — WALKING ON EGGSHELLS — FRUSTRATED IN BRITISH

NEWYORK — At the Interfaith Dental Center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, people with dental pain can walkinto a ground floor office otf Bedford Avenue and get treated without an appointment. They might have to wait in a packed waitingroom. But if they're in the door by 5 p.m., a dentist will see them. Residents in this low- to middle-income neighborhood likely don't realize how lucky they are. The majority of Americans have to travel miles to see a dentist who takes their insurance, particularl y ifthey'recovered by Medicaid. Many dental patients with privateinsurance cannot afford to pay their share of the bill. Federal law requues state Medicaid programs to indude dental careforchildren,and theAflbrdable CareAct extended thatrequirement to private insurers. But the federal health law did little for adults:While premium taxcredits were made available to help lowincome people purchase health insurance, the subsidies cannot be used to purchase dental coverage except as an add-on to health coverage. No new dental benefitrequuements were induded for adults covered by Medicaid.

DEAR FRUSTRATED: You're handling this about as well as can be expected. Because of your current financial obligations, you can't afford the vacation your sister has in mind. Either Sissy will have to plan something more affordable, or your family will be unable to participate. That's reality.

Medicaiddentalcoverage has had even lower spending capsinmost places.States vary widely when it comes to adult dental benefits, but on average, Medicaid dental coverage has declined since the recession. "Adult dental benefits are caught in a pendulum swing of contraction in fiscal downturns and expansion when fiscal pressures go away," said Andrew Snyder, dental expert at the NationalAcademy of State Health Policy.'That's been the story for a long time. I don't know that there was ever a time when adult dental was really great."
