In the 1970s when Interstate 84 was constructed through Ladd Canyon, Chinook salmon and steelhead lost nearly 14 miles of spawning and rearing habitat due tothe installation ofa 25-foot vertical culvert. A projecttoreplacethatculvert about five miles southeast of La Grande will launch this week with an open house at the Oregon Department of Transportation Region 5 Headquarters Thursday. ODOT Project Leader Ken Patterson said bidding will begin this winter for the projectto be completed during the 2015 construction season. Construction will interrupt travel on Ladd Creek

Heath Heikkila of the American Forests Resource Council talks about the challenges facing Oregon's forests and the timber industry at a panel discussion Friday hosted by Boise Cascade in Elgin.

In light of comedian Robin Williams' death, the nation has launched a discussion on depression and suicide. Depression affects an estimated 7 percent of American adults, and it's a prominent factor in more than 39,000 deaths by suicide each year. However, there is abundant reason for optimism becausedepression istreatable and suicide is the most preventable kind of death. "Anyonecanhelp preventthe traydyofsuicide,"said DeAn Mansveld, preventioncrrridinator and educator at the Center for Human Developmentin La Grande.'Most peoplewho are contemplatingsuicide arenot presentlyseeingamentalhealth professionai.

Symptoms of ctnical depression mayindude having prolonged periods of depressed moods, sleeping too much or too little, feelings of guilt, hopelessness, worthlessness and suicidal thoughts. Suicidal people usually do not keep their plans to themselves, contrary to public myth. "Most suicidal people communicate their intent sometime during the week precedingtheir attempt," Mansveld said.

If there can be a feel-good story revolving around a vicious conflict that consumed more than 57,000 American lives, the effort by local veterans groups to raise funds to place signs along Interstate 84 that designate the highway as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Kghway fits the bill. In April 2013, the Oregon Legislature signed oA'on Senate Bill 461 in honor of the 57,000 Oregonians who served in the war, but the actual funding for the signs must be furnished through donations. While one could quibble with the notion of the Legislature unable to provide all the funding for the project, the fact that area veterans groups are solidly behind the effort is good news.

And if the public can, it should help. A single sign costs $1,000 and area veterans want to create an additional sign that will cost about

$1,200. The signs, which are already up on some portions of I-84, will soon be up along a 370-mile stretch of freeway, from the junction of Interstate 205 in Portlandtothe Idaho border. It may seem like a fairly insignificant thing. Yet any manner in which we, as a community, can develop to find a way to honor our Vietnam veterans is a good thing. If you are interested in helping area veterans out on this honorable proposal, contact the local Veterans of Foreign Wars or the American Legion. This idea is, really, the very least this state can do to honorso many who gave so much in a wa rhalfway across the globe so long ago.

Your views Cooper: Commissioners have notfuly l examined the issues To the Editor: The arguments in favor of razing the 16-year old Shelter From the Storm building, which was built with federal taxpayerdollars specifi cally foritspurpose, are specious at best. According to public documents, the planapproved by the Legislature called for a new two-story building; yet our county commissioners voted in favor of a one-story courthouse on the basis of distortedestimates ofthe costofelevators. Inexplicably, the elevator costs were projected out for 50 years and they were based on the old elevators in the Joseph Building. Interestingly, Commissioner Mark Davidson estimated that a twostory courthouse would need not one, not two, but three elevators. Was this an inflated estimate, made in order to reach a foregone conclusion to evict SFS? This is another example of the commissioners being out of touch with their constituents. They have not answered questions nor attended meetings with the community. Why not tear down the shabby Joseph Annex, which houses little more than a meeting room/clubhouse? Why are we tearing down a 16-year-old building? Many people are not aware that SFS also funds almost two full-time positions in the sherifFs, corrections and district attorney's offices, which may be jeopardized if the shelter is displaced. Claims of"ingratitude" ignore the contribution that SFS provides for the many families in our community who need their help. The commissioners, in a rush to judgment, have not fully examined the issues. The plans for a familyjustice center have drawn widespread support, as evidenced by the recent town hall meeting. While a new courthouse is needed, decisions should not be unduly influenced by a hurried timeline nor by the rash decisions of our local elected officials. Matt Cooper La Grande

• Meeting renews bonds of friendship By Dick Mason The Observer

A gulf of 42 years, 9,000 miles and eight time zones w as bridged in heartfeltfashion recently in La Grande. Dorothy Waln of La Grande was reunited in early August with her good friend Margaret Wakasa Buyela after more than four decades. Buyela, who lives in Nairobi, Kenya, came to La Grande to visit Waln. The two had not seen each other since the early 1970s when Buyela lived with Waln's family while attending Eastern Oregon University. The meeting renewed bonds of fiiendship, which clearly have not been frayed by thepassage oftime. "It felt like home.... It feels like my family is more complete," Waln said. Buyela grew up in Kenya and came to the United States as a teenager. She went to high school in Idaho and next came to Eastern

Oregon College inow EOUl.

"Itfelt like home.... Itfeels like my family is more complete."

Forms: The Observer front desk has wedding, engagement, anniversary and birth forms.

Buyela and her infant son Jimmy lived with Waln and her family for three years. Buyela left La Grande after she graduated from Eastern in 1972. She later worked for the Kenyan government as a child welfare specialist before recently retiring. Buyela wrote child welfare policies, which were accepted by the United Nations while workingforKenya's government, she said. Buyela, who came to see Waln with her daughterin-law Betty Buyela, also of Kenya, are now visiting Washington. They will return Dick Mason/The Observer to La Grande later this week DorothyWaln, center, and Margaret Buyela, left, met each other for the first time in 42 to seeWaln again before years earlier this month.

2015 Construction lmpacts: Access to Ladd Creek Road will be modified and the I-84 westbound on ramp will be closed during construction. The eastbound off-ramp will be reconfigured to allow two-way traffic for light vehicles. Vehicles re-entering I-84 will need to use the Stockhoff Interchange at Exit 273 to return to La Grande. Exit 270 will also be closed to commercial vehicles during construction. "Upon completion of the project, the new culvert will have a 75 year design life which will provide long term protection for I-84," said ODOT Project Leader Ken Patterson. "Additionally, 14 miles of high quality fish habitat will be made available to steelhead and Chinook salmon that have not had access to this area since the early 1970's."

The Grande Ronde Bowmen Club hosted an ethical hunter shoot Saturday and Sunday at its shooting range on Mt. Emily. Its format was a 3D fun shoot emphasizing kill "shots," North American wildlife targets of all kinds, from mountain lions to bears, from buffalo to elk, were set up for users. If the archer stuck his arrow in the heart and lung area of the target, they received points. However, if the arrow landed outside of that zone, they were docked points. "Ittriestoencourage people not to cripple animals," Bowmen Club member Norm Paullus said."If you hit outside the kill zone, which is outside of the ring of the heart and lung area, you get minus points. We do that totryto encourage peopleto take ethical shots." The 34 animal targets were strategically placed on the wooded areas on the course. Archers had to hike around from station to station,tracing thecourseasit meandered through the forest. There was a designated spot to shoot from, which tested the skills of all the archers involved. Saturday and Sunday's shootispartofa greater initiative by the club to improveitscoursein hopes of receiving the state 3D tournament's bid for next year. cWe're trying to bring the state 3D course here next year," Paullus said. Where we're shooting here is the unmarked yardage course, but you can use a rangefinder. We're just finishing up fencing up the full 100 acres. So we're going to end up doubling the size of the course we have. Hopefully when we're done, we'll have five courses of 28 targets each, so we'll take in a lot more area than we currently have. It's a great setup we have here." Club President Clayton SeeArchery / Page10A

last week as the Ducks startedtheirpreseason football camp."But hopefully I don't. Hopefully I can make a careerout ofprofessional track and field and professional football." A multisport athlete from Phoenix, Arizona, Allen won the U.S. title in the 110-meter hurdles in late June. He entersthisfootballseason as a redshirt freshman looking for playing time — and possibly a starting role — at wide receiver. Despitealready being a national champion in the hurdles, Allen has made it clear that his priority is football, much to the chagrin of Oregon track and field die-hards.

Lowe said a decision on whether or not they receive the right to host the state competition won't be known until October at the earliest, and at the latest, February. A number of Bowmen were on hand all weekend, as were visitors from neighboring states. John Walker, from the Tri-Cities, in Washington, brought his family of six to the shoot. aWe've been to this range one other time, for another family shoot, and it'sa lotoffun,"hesaid. With his wife, three boys and girl along, he enjoyed the ability to teach them the finer points. "Some shots are in the trees instead of out in the open, so that's what it's going be to more like when you're hunting," he said. "Instead of a competition sideofshooting,itteaches you how to shoot at the kill

"A lot of people say,'Oh, how do you not love track? You do so well in it,' "Allen sald. "I dolovetrack,but football is something I've been doing my whole life, and it's something I love. It's something I've committed myself to these last couple years. It'll be hard to do both at a professional level, but I definitely think that I can do it. I think I can be a worldclasstrack athleteand a greatfootballplayeratthe same time." The Ducks appear to be deep at receiver,with top returners Keanon Lowe, B.J. Kelley and Dwayne Stanford. Bralon Addison is still nursing a knee injury sufFered in the spring and is questionablefor thisseason. In Oregon's annual spring game this past May, Allen was one of the standouts. He had a 49-yard touchdown grab among his two catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns. Asked last week if Allen could have an impact at wide receiverthisseason,Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said "absolutely." "Devon is a tough dude, man, a high hurdler that can do what he does, that's tough," Helfrich said."It's not just running down the lane and being fast. You've got to have a little something to you. When you run hurdles, it's not just sunshine and roses. He's a great blocker, and he's a greatcompetitor,which translatesoverto special teams a ton, and he's been great on that." Allen said that Helfiich and his staffhave been "totally supportive" ofhis track pursuits. He said he is aimingfora starting spotat receiverdespitetheDucks' current depth and experience at theposition. "All those guys are ready to play and can contribute for us,"Allen said."It's just a matterofproving tothe coaches that you can." Said Helfrich:"I don't think we've been this deep at receiver in a long, long time." While Allen works during preseason camp to earn a spotatw ide receiver,Oregon track and field coaches and fans might worry about him getting injured and hurting his future as a hurdler. But Allen knows he cannot play football with that fear in the back ofhis mind.

DORY'S DIARY

Homemade Ice Cream

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

History afoot: Memories that tie today to the past As I was tying my shoes today, I wondered how many people would be doing the same thing. How many, in fact, had gone through the process of learning to tie bows in the first place. That wouldhave been one ofthe first real accomplishments in life. You had to know how to tie your own shoes before you were old enough to go to school. In this day of slip-ons, buckles, and Velcro, it seems like such a funny thing to consider, but back then it was serious stuff. Laced and tied shoes were importanttofourgroups ofpeople— the children and early teens, men, and the old women. The late teens and middleaged women were then into slip-on pumps when out in public. High school girls, and some boys alike,wore saddle shoes with two colors, black and white or brown and white. These were considered classy. But, basically, you wore the sturdy leather brogues in brown or black oxfords. Then there were the high-laced boots. Everyone, I'm sure, must have wanted a pair of those, even the business men in town. See Dory /Page 2B

Put some

thought into how you use pots Big pots, little pots in every hue, Some areold, but some are new. First they are hereand then over there

They might show up most anywhere. Pots are my low-maintenance way of keeping blooms in beds where early bulbs are through or perennials have given up for the year. Anyone can keep their yard looking good this way and with fibromyalgia challenges I find it so mucheasierto plantin large pots than in flower beds. I buy 6-pack flowers from the nurseriesand startlarge pots as soon asI can in the spring. This year I had the advantageofbeing ableto setthem in a greenhouse for protection and a head start, buthave done itforyearsjust outside. I put gladiolas, dahlias and canna lilies in large pots, as well as other flowers you would normally plant in the ground. This allows the flexibility ofbeing able to move them where a bed or planter needs filled in. I laugh that sometimes it might take a horse and three men to move them, but I actually do pretty well with a small hand truck. Admittedly, though, my favorite chiropractor/kinesiologist is seeing more of me lately. I have a cedar pot that has been the home to a dark blue delphinium ia favorite ofm ine)for six or seven years and it just keeps on doing its thing. I cut it off after it blooms gasts a long time) and then often get more blooms in the fall. See Garden/Page 2B

I used three bananas, which is enough for four servings. One of my friends said that her kids like it served immediately but I have found that freezing it works fine. This is one of those recipes that you can play with and fine-tune it to your liking. I have used coconut milk and dairy milk, and both worked for me.

For WesCom News Service

As the temperatures stay high, one ofthe easiestways to keep coolis with refreshing treats. Summer and ice cream go hand in hand. I love ice cream but the calories and high fat content keep it out of my freezer. If it is there, I will eat it. When I heard about banana ice cream, I definitely wanted to try it. Who knew that frozen bananas whipped up in a food processor would make a creamy delicious treat? This is a vegan, gluten-free, non dairy-allergic, nosugar-addedrecipe.Seems hard to believe it would be tasty but it is. Let's not forget the nutritional value. Bananas are creamy rich and sweet but they arealsogreatforcardiovascular health, your digestion and with a unique mix of vitamins, minerals and low glycemic carbsthey are a perfectfood forendurance athletes. Making banana ice cream keeps the guilt at bay and satisfies that sweet tooth. W hat could be better? You can use one banana or as many as four, dependingon how much you want to make.

Banana Ice Cream 3 Large ripe bananas, they should be sweet and soft 1/2 to 1 Cup fresh fruit (I used cherries) 1/4 to 1/2 Cup coconut milk or dairy milk

Peelthe bananas and cutthem up,then freeze until frozen, at least 2 hours. Blend in a food processor or blender with the coconut milk until you get a smooth creamy texture. Add the cherries and serve immediately.You can add peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips or nuts. If you would like to make chocolate flavor, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Another variation is to add a teaspoon of cinnamon, cardamom or ginger. Enjoy!

• Students at Oak Haven school in La Grande incorporate gardening in their curriculum By Dick Mason WesCom News Service

La Grande educator Ruthi Davenport is a lifelong fan and student of children's literature. Her favorit e children'sbooks include Eve Meriam's "The Wise Woman and Her Secret." The 1991work is about a woman whose wisdom is obtained in part by the sense of curiosity and wonderment a flower garden sparks within her. Davenport, like the character in Meriam's book, shares this sense of garden wonderment. She sees gardens as places where youngminds bloom and become fertile with questions and curiosity. "A garden can be a wonderful context for an early reading and writing experience," said Davenport, who is the head of school at Oak Haven, a preschool which uses the Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies. Davenport, an emerita Eastern Oregon University education professor, founded Oak Haven in 2011. The school's features include two gardens where sunflowers,carrots,tomatoes, beans, peas and lettuce are grown. The gardenisan integralpartofthe school, one which has been offering one-week literacy camps for childrenage 6 to 9 and preschool sessions throughout the summer. Children visit the garden regularlyforclasssessions and spend one session a week at the Avella Orchard on Fir Street as part of summer sessions at Oak Haven. Children in these settings learn about numbers and graphing by measuring plants and their growth, and they develop literacy skills by writing their observationsofplantsand other elements of Oak Haven's gardens. Davenport, who taught at

'A garden can be awonderful contextfor an early reading and writing experience. Each day the children want to check theflowers. They want to remove (any new) weeds because they know they take waterjom theflowers." — Ruthi Davenport, founder and head of Oak Haven school

EOU for 19 years and now instructs two Eastern online classes, said a garden isa stim ulatingacademic setting because itisforever transforming. "Itiseasy to talk about because it changes daily which stimulates excitement," Davenport sald. Children come to school with a senseofanticipation as a result. "Each day the children want to check the flowers. They want

to remove iany new) weeds because they know they take water from the flowers," Davenport sald. The educator is heartened to see the feeling of ownership children develop. "The garden is nurturing a sense of stewardship," Davenport sald. This is a desired resultof an ecological literacy program Oak Haven provides.

"They learn the cycle of nature," Davenport said. Davenport is assisted atOak Haven by co-teacher Beth Wasley and Stefanie Duncan, who is completing an internship. Oak Haven students also receive instruction from Danae Yurgel and David Tift at Avella Orchard. Davenport hopes that the knowledge of gardening and ecology the students are gaining will help them become advocates for the environment when they get older. "There is a higher likelihood that they will protect the environment because they will have an understanding of it. It is difficult to protect something you do not have an understanding of."

2B —THE OBSERVER a BAKER CITY HERALD

By Daniel Neman St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Is there anything more American than the state fair? Small-town pride. Prizewinning bulls. Proud children showing off their favoriteponies and sheep. State fairs are so American, they even have a contest for the bestapplepie. Some of us go for the music. Some go for the exhibits. Some go for the rides. But let's be frank: A lot of us go for the food. Fair food is a world unto itself, a secret,guilty place we visit to indulge in the foods that we would never ordinarily consume, the artery-clogging, brain-rotting, heartstopping, certain-death foods thattaste soooo good even while you suspect they may not be the healthiest things you could eat. Only at a fair would you even think of trying a deepfried Twinkie or Snickers bar. Only at a fair would anyone ever serve deep-fiied

DORY Continued from Pcge 1B Living in a rural area with lots of ground upon which to walk, the need was great against the weather conditions and one's own backyard where you kept a milk cow, rabbits,chickens, hogs and such. Or, there were the hunters, workmen and fishermen.Each type ofduty had itsown serviceable shoe. Since we were limited in the number of pairs of shoes we had, they each had to be treated properly to last. Iwanted a pairofboots like my dad's, the ones with leather thong laces and metal eyelet brackets. I loved lacing or unlacing them for him when he wasn't in a hurry, and I loved the smell when he rubbed in the waterrepellentgrease to keep them supple and waterproof. I had school shoes and worn-out hand-me-down play shoes. I once even had a pair of Baby Jane buckle slippers at Easter, but there wasn't m oney for a bigpairofboots just to be like dad. My rubber galoshes with the metal claspsor,later,the lady boots with front zipper supplied my bad weather outdoor needs. Otherwise, my sturdilybuilt everyday shoes were good enough. I remember that when I first got my new shoes the laceatthefarend ofthe tongue crossed over and under, then up and into the next metal hole on each side and to the top. I would systematically remove the lace and put it under the lacing holes to be out of sight, then bring it up and under the hole, across the opening and under and up through the next hole, working back and forth. I have no idea why I thoughtit didn't look good to expose the laceatthebottom. Itseemed indecent. Now I wonder if it was plain stubbornness that no one was going to tell me how to lace my own shoes. My dream to own a pair of high-toppedbootsbecame a reality years and yearslater, even after I was married and had children. In fact, I had three sons. When we moved to Edelweiss Acres, they were each fitted with a pair of high-t opped bootsjustlike their Dad's to do the chores and run the hills. The boots were a little lighter weight than those the menhad worn, butthey werejustasserviceable and worn for everyday use, then changed for school, town, and church. Children's feet do grow, as you know, and so the shoes and boots needed yearly changing until they attained

He said St. Louis County, Mo., Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch, who has publicly criticized Nixon's decision to send the Missouri Highway Patrol into Ferguson, has an opportunity to "step up here and do his job." Nixon appeared on four morning talk shows, and shortlyafter hislastappearance the Justice Department announced that it would order its own autopsyseparate from that conducted by local authorities — of Brown, 18, who was shot and killed Aug. 9 by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.

"That is the kind of independent, external national reviewand investigation of this that I think will assist everyone in making sure we get to justice," Nixon said on CNN's "State of the Union."

Nixon said he did not know how long the investigation would take. "I will let the prosecutor speak for himself on what his time frame is, other than I know when I talked to Attorney General Holder that the response to that was to bring 40 additional agents into the region to accelerate those interviews," Nixon said on CNN."Everybody is working really, really hard.
