A decade ago, Frank Thomas had many reasons to doubt that this day would ever come.

A day in which he would be contemplating the celebration of a onceunfathomable number.

Sometime late next week, the 300,000th rider is expected to board a bus on Northeast Oregon Public Transit's 14-mile La Grande-Island City fixed route. A celebration will ensue and prizes will be awarded.

And Thomas, the Northeast Oregon Public Transit manager for Union County, will recall what pessimists said a decade ago when thefi xed routebegan operating.

"Experts said that we couldn't do this," Thomas said.

They beli eved La Grande did nothave a largeenough population to support a fixed route, Thomas said. These experts did not see the full picture, however.

'They did not realize the impact that Eastern Oregon University would have," Thomas noted.

This impact quickly become apparent when Northeast Oregon Public Transit started providing fixed route service in La Grande and Island City in 2005. EOU students began using the transportation services with noteworthy and increasing frequency. Today, EOU students make up nearly 30 percent of NOPTs fixed route ridership during the school year. ''We would not have been able to do this if it wasn't for EOU," Thomas said."Eastern has been so critical to our success."

Commissioner Mark a discussion or work session

Davidson did not like those options. ''We're clearly not ready for Howard th i s ," Davidson said.'We should opt out of everything and waitfortherules."

Davidson argued that the unincorporated partsofthe county have zoning regulations that wouldn't allow for theland tobeused tosellor produce marijuana anyway.

Howard replied that keeping the medical marijuana portion in the ordinance "becauseitdoesn'taffect anything," which is something Davidson had argued previously in the meeting, did not make sense and was not a good idea,according to

Howard.

Commissioner Steve McClure stayed fairly quiet in the discussion but did say, ''We have got to look at what's best with the community."

The commissioners voted 2-1 with Howard voting against taking this ordinance to its first reading.

A public hearing will be held beginning at 10 a.m. in the Joseph Annex on Oct. 21 to discuss theopt-out ordinance.

The commissioners also made the decision to extend the burn ban until the next meeting.

La Grande Rural Fire Chief Larry Wooldridge spoke on behalf of the fire chiefs in Union County about the need to extend the burn

ban. Wooldridge said until the county receives a significant amount of rainfall, the fire season is ongoing. ''We've had above average temperatures and below averageprecipitation,"said J.B. Brock, Union County Emergency Services director, who was there with Wooldridge."Unfortunately, this is a pattern we'll be in for a while."

In order to lift the ban, W ooldridge said,the area needs enough rain to soak the ground where fire danger is the greatest.

The commissioners also discussed lifting the ban in some areasto allow forfarmers to burn their fields but did not make a decision on whether to allow this.

USFS proposes major timber sate, restoration work

By Jayson Jacoby

vvescom News service

The Wallowa-Whitman N ational Forestisproposing one of its bigger timber sales in the past 25 years.

The East Face project is on the east slopes of the northern Elkhorn Mountains, mainly from the Anthony Lakes Highway north toward Ladd Canyon and the Grande Ronde Valley.

It includes about 48,000 acres of public land, mostly national forest, with about 1,200 acres of BLM ground.

According to the 293-page environmental assessment the ForestServicereleased Wednesday, the East Face project isdesigned to reduce the risk oflarge wildfires in the area and to begin to restoreforeststhathave been harmed by past logging and manydecadesoffi re suppression.

The East Face project is alsodesigned to supplement similar work on adjacent private lands, a campaign

that involves the Oregon Department of Forestry and the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Last year the NRCS distributed $1.4 million to private landowners to help pay to thin about 3,100 acres ofovercrowded forestsin the east face area.

The Wallowa-Whitman's East Face project would expand that effort onto public lands. A 30-day comment periodfortheEastFace environmental assessment started Wednesday.

The Wallowa-Whitman's proposed action — one of five strategies analyzed in the assessment— callsfor commercial logging on 6,700 acres, with a total timber volume of 16.4 million boardfeet.

That's more timber than the entire 2.4-million-acre Wallowa-Whitman has offeredforsale in some years during the past two decades.

Some of the East Face logging is proposed within

designatedold growth areas.

That would require the Forest Service to amend the 1990 management plan for the Wallowa-Whitman.

The East Face project does not, however, call for cutting trees larger than 21 inches in diameter. The Forest Service agreedtothatlim itation for national forestseastofthe Cascades in the early 1990s at the behest of environmental groups that pointed out that most of the old growth trees had been cut during past decades.

The proposedaction — it's alternative No. 2 in the study — also proposes building 5.3 miles of new, temporary road, rebuilding 53 miles of existingroads,and temporarily re-opening 107 miles of closed roads.

The alternative calls for substantial amounts of noncommercial work as well, including cutting small trees and clearing and piling brush on about 10,000 acres, and lighting prescribed fires on

What's wrong with the forests?

The assessment outlines the current conditions in the area as well as what the Forest Service identifies as causesforsome oftheproblems aff ecting theforests.

"A combination of past management activities and exclusion of fire along with the resultsofacresofpost fireoverstocked lodgepole pine stands has led to an increase in stocking levels, fuel loadings, and dense understorie s,"the assessment states."Overstocking,insects,

and diseaseare threatening the health and vigor of many stands within the project area. Stands are not growing to their site potential."

Those "past management activities" including logging concentratedon the biggest and most fire-resistant trees, including ponderosa pines and tamaracks.

Today's forestscontain a higher proportion of grand fir trees than was typical in thepast,and thesetreesare more susceptible to fire, accordingtothe ForestService.

Many acres also are supporting more trees than was customary, which makes theseforestsmoresvulnerabletoinsectsand diseases,accordingtotheForestService.

The assessment states: "In the EastFace projectarea mountain pine beetle, western pinebeetle,sprucebeetle, fir engraver, western spruce budworm, and balsam wooly adgelid populations have shown an increase in activity the last few years."

Sports that involve running a nd jumping are sure t o aggravate the heel. The heel pain limits activity and may

interfere with generalized comfort of the feet and their performance.

Supporting the feet properly through the use of cust om a rc h s u p ports a n d focusedstretching programs eliminates the heel pain in ninety percent of the affected patients. Custom arch supports are fa r s uperior than heat molded or over the counter inserts.

If your child is suffering from heel pain, perhaps it is time to see Dr. Carke or Dr. Hampton. Convenient, inofficex-rays may be taken at Dr. Clarke's office to validate the diagnosis.

are diving into a fuller pool oflearning, thanks to full-day kindergarten that started this year.

The mandate &om half day to full day will help students get a quicker start on their education and will pay dividends down the road. It's unfortunate the state did not fully fund the switch. Still, the local investment, which will be more than $100,000, should be well worth the cost to taxpayers. Studies have shown, for example, that students who are reading at grade level in third grade have a better chance of succeeding all through school, and all-day kindergarten, with its emphasis on the fundamentals, will help propel students toward meeting that benchmark.

By meeting all day, instead ofjust half a day, young students are getting stronger in the three Rs — reading, writing and arithmetic. However, fullday kindergarten brings many more benefits. The students get more opportunities to build social skills and dining skills, and get access to a nutritional breakfast and lunch. Positive social behaviors the children can use for a lifetime are being reinforced and nurtured.

Teachers seem happy with all-day kindergarten, too. Their work day can be more relaxed, less hurried, and they can present more varied experiences for the children. Teachers can pace themselves. They do not have to rush through the curriculum and have more time for individualized instruction, that all-important face time that can make such a difer-

ence. All-day kindergarten also allows teachers to be more thorough in their presentation of subjects. This results in kindergartners gaining more knowledge now and should enhance their achievements down the road.

Some people worry about the children's shorter attention spans. Teachers are taking that into account by making akernoon sessions less intense with more time for free play.

Education is an important building block of society, and full-day kindergarten is becoming the academic norm around the country. While the full results won't be known for many years down the road, and we do need to learn a few things after kindergarten, it seems certain that children will get more of a springboard to future academic success.

FIRE

Eagle Comglex firesstillhavelife • Blazes have burntatleast 12,000 acres

By Dick Mason The Observer

The Eagle Complex fires, 10 miles east of Medical Springs, are continuing to show sparks oflife.

'They are growing two to three acres a day," said Kathy Arnoldus, a fire information officer for the Wallowa Whitman National Forest.

The growth, though, is not taking place in eye-popping fashion.

"It is creeping and smoldering. It is burning through ieldson theground very f slowly,"Arnoldus said.

Most of the growth continues to be in the Sullivan Creek area, an area hard for firefighters to reach because of its steep rugged terrain.

The fires' continued but slow growth, however, is not reason for alarm, Arnoldus said.

"It is not really going anywhere. It is creeping."

The fires will continue burning as long as the region's warm dry weather persists.

"There will be smoke in the Sullivan Creek area until we get some significant precipitation,"Arnoldus said.

The approximately12,000acre fire was started by lightning Aug. 10. It is now 80 percent contained. Ten peopleare assigned to the fire.

All roads closed by the fire were reopened Sept. 21, but peoplearestillurged touse caution in the fire area.

Speakout

Mayor Steve Clements was excused absent from the meeting because he had a class to teach. Clements had previously spoken out at meetings against opting out and was the lone vote for presale at last month's meeting.

Lillardacted asmayor pro-tem during the meeting.

After taking some brief testimony from the public — both for and against the opt-out clause — Lillard asked for the council's comments.

City Councilor John Lackey immediately moved to adoptthe second option, to discontinue any further discussion.

"If the OLCC comes out with regulations, and we put a lot of time in putting laws together and the OLCC's regulations countermand that, we just wasted city staff time," Lackey argued.

City staffhas more important things to workon, he said.

Lackey said the option of discontinuing or continuing with discussion was unclear and voiced his confusion on whether the ordinance would be worked on before the state's regulations come out.

City Planner Mike Boquist and City Manager Robert Strope clarified that the conversation would continue after, and it would not take up city staff time.

"Motion one allows us to continue that process," Strope said. Choosing motion two, he continued,"would be sending a very clear message that we opt out and discontinue the efforts iof a future ordinance)."

Strope explained that option one would be used as a sort of moratorium. Option two would send the message that the council is opting out without ever intending to opt backin.

"It's true, you always have the option of opting back in, but the way we would view it as a staffis ifyou tell us to discontinue efforts, we won't address these issues again until the council tells us to do so," Strope said.

After the motion to adopt option two had been seconded by Councilor Wayne Brown, Lillard said he wanted to clarify his position.

No one was injured in the blaze, but the building and equipment stored there is a total loss. The school canceled tonight's homecoming football game as a result.

Enterprise Fire Chief Paul Karvoski said the fire was reported by Enterprise school employees about 7:40 a.m. Thursday.

"They tried to do what they could to put it out," he sald.

But the fire quickly engulfed the building, which also housed locker rooms, restrooms and an office.

Enterprise and Joseph fire departments were on the scene in minutes, but Karvoski said the fire "was cooking by the time we got there."

Eighteen crew members from the two departments fought the blaze for about three hours, finally getting it under control around 11 a.m., Karvoski said.

SPIRITUAL LIFE

Zion Lutheran celebrates 125th Observer staff

Zion Lutheran Church in La Grande continues its 125th Anniversary activities at 9:30 a.m. Sunday with guest preacher Leah StolteDoerfler.

Stolte-Doerfler is the daughterofLinda and the lateLester Stolte,formerly of Imbler. She was a member of Zion during her growing up years and was married at the church before moving to the Willamette Valley with her

husband, Kent, a grass seed farmer.

Continued from Page 8A itwas ata rodeo Bible camp where he got on a bronc for the first time at age 14.

The time put in at the camps and clinics, along with a spiritual encounter, are keys he points to as why he's found success in the arena.

"I turned my life to God. That was the good part of it, and I got more focused this year," he said.

His mother, Kim Shaffer, has not only seen the changes in her son over the years but has heard about them from those around him.

"He'scome sofar.Igettold thata lotfrom theriders that have watched him over the years telling me what an amazing young man he has become, ibothl spiritually and in his riding capabilities," she said."So I think that's really cool."

The Associated Press

The long, lonely road Kim Shaffer hears about her son's success first hand because she has been on the road with him to everyrodeo.

The trip to Caldwell this weekend will be the 32nd rodeo or camp Calvin Shaffer has participated in since April.

All told, the two have been in the car for more than 16,000 miles in the last six months, oftentimes competing in a rodeo one night, getting on the road and traveling hundreds of miles to getto another rodeo the next night.

"Some of our weekends have just been crazy," Kim Shaffersaid."One weekend we left Elgin and went to Klamath Falls. He had a rodeo that night, ithenl rode to Tygh Valley, then to Donnelly, Idaho."

Though she has logged most of those miles behind the wheel for her son, Kim wouldn't change a thing.

"Oh yeah. It's worth every penny," she said."I love it."

Finding a groove As one would expect, as he has spent more time on the horse and time practicing, the success has followed. Calvin Shaffer said he's logged roughly 20 successful rides — most inrecent rodeos.

RECAP Continued from Page 8A edge until a dump kill from Avila put the Tigers up for good 18-17 in that final set.

"It was like point for point in that last set," BeckerBisenius said."It was pretty crazy. It was a good game though — a good match."

Katie Stone and Erica Jimenez each added seven kills, with Stone adding three blocks and Jimenez 15 digs. Liz Cashell led the back line with 24 digs and Avilaposted 37 assists and

Calvin Shaffer is competing today and Saturday at the Idaho CowboysAssociation finals in Caldwell, Idaho.

"Starting to finally get my success rate up," he said.

"It's kind of a long learning curve."

Once a rider gets in the chute and on the bronc, it's all about focus and technique.

'You have to lift on your rein, that's the main thing," he said.'You have to stay in rhythm to get the best points out of the horse."

Getting points hasn't been an issue lately with the recentvictories,asheenters the ICA finals on a four-rodeo winning streak, including most recently at the NPRA finals in Prineville at the end of September.

A bright future Calvin is not only going to Caldwell to ride but to talk about a possible rodeo scholarship.

"I'm going to meet up with a College of Southern Idaho rodeo coach this weekend," he said.

lier Thursday.

"The girls were pretty determined tonighttojust play for Enterprise, the high school and being an Outlaw."

Reagan Carreiro had 16 kills forthe Leopards.Harley Davis added seven, Lorissa Johnson dished out 26 assists and Hannah Duby had

14 digs.

It's not only a way for Calvin to possibly get through college but for him to have an education and a backup plan.

"It would be pretty awesome becauseifIgettothe point where I get hurt I'd have something to fall back on, to have something instead of just having nothing to work with if you get hurt," he said.

But beyond the schooling, he has championship aspirations as well.

"I'd like to go to the college finals and win that," he said, noting also the participating in the National Finals Rodeo on the professional circuit is on his dream list."If I can get that done, that would be a pretty fulfilling goal."

And the person who has beenthereeach mile believes he has the potential to reach that goal.

"He has a future," Kim Shaffer said."Ifhe wants it, he'll take it."

Matt Hasselbeck and Andre Johnson showed Thursday night that sometimes old guys can shine in what is certainly a young man's league.

Johnson, 34, caught two touchdown passes from Hasselbeck, 40, including a 2-yard score in the fourth quarter, to help the Indianapolis Colts beat the Houston Texans 27-20.

'You get over the age of 30, they kind of count you out," Johnson said."But we proved to people that we could still play."

Released by Houston in March after 12 seasons with the team, Johnson had six catches for 77 yards.

The Colts i3-2l extended their AFC South winning streak to an NFL-record 16 games.

Hasselbeck was filling in for Andrew Luck, who missed his second straight game with a shoulder injury.

Hasselbeck's performance was even more impressive given the fact that he was battling a bacterial infection that hospitalized him this week. He started feeling ill just before halftime Sunday in a victory over Jacksonville and didn't start feeling better until Thursday night.

"I honestly feel like this isn't even real right now," Hasselbeck said.

Coach Chuck Pagano raved about Hasselbeck.

"He was literally on his deathbed Monday/Tuesdayand mustered up enough to come in Wednesday and practice," Pagano said."He was getting IVs and fighting a virusand the grittiestperformance I've seen in a long, long time."

Brian Hoyer, who replaced Ryan Mallett for Houston i1-4l in the second quarter, threw a pass up for grabs that was intercepted by Mike Adams with less than 2 minutes left.

Johnson extended the lead to 27-17 with the 2-yard reception with about 10'/2 minutes left. The Texans intercepted Hasselbeck's pass in the end zone earlier in that drive, but the play was negated because of defensive holding on Eddie Pleasant. A second penalty, this one for pass interference, gave the Colts a first down at the 1.

Mallett got the wind knocked out of him on an illegal hit midway through the second quarter and was replaced by Hoyer.

Mallett looked to be OK soon after that, but coach Bill OBrien stuck with Hoyer. He finished with 312 yards passing with two

touchdowns. Both of the touchdowns were to rookie Jaelen Strong, and they came on Strong's first two NFL receptions.

DeAndre Hopkins had 11 receptions for 169 yards for Houston. ''We're not happy, obviously," J.J. Watt said."But we're going to go back to work and figure it out."

Arian Foster, who was shaken up in the second quarter but returned after halftime, had 41 yards rushing and 77 yards receiving in his second game back after groin surgery.

The Colts opened the second half with a drive capped by Frank Gore's 3-yard touchdown, which made it 20-10. Gore finished with 98 yards rushing.

Strong's second catch and touchdown came on an 11-yard pass by Hoyer to get Houston to 20-17 in the third quarter.

Hoyer's desperation throw on the last play of the first half, which Strong pulled down ina sea ofIndianapolisdefendersfor a 42-yard touchdown strike, cut the lead to 13-10. Strong boxed out two defenders and outjumped the others to reel in his first NFL catch.

Johnson entered the game without a catch in the past two games after having just one such game in his entire career in Houston. The Colts made sure that wouldn't happen again Thursday night, going to him early. He drew boos from the home crowd when he grabbed a 23-yard reception late in the first quarter. Two plays later, he scored his first touchdown of the season when he was wide-open in the back of the end zone for a 4-yard reception, which gave Indianapolis a 10-0 lead. ''When I would be on the sidelines a lot of the fans were screaming,'Andre, we still love you! Come back to Houston! Welcome home!"' Johnson said."So that was probably the most special thing."

Mallett was shaken up when Sio Moore crashed his helmet into Mallett's chest with about seven minutes left in the second quarter; Moore received a penalty for roughing the passer.Ma llettappeared to struggleto catch his breath and was replaced by Hoyer.

He was tended to by trainers for a couple of minutes after leaving the game, but soon put his helmet back on and stood near O'Brien.

Hoyer finally got Houston's offense going, and the Texans cut it to 13-3 on Nick Novak's 36-yard field goal.

Historical artifacts found at store site?

EUGENE — An archaeological excavation permit issued by the state shows that historical artifacts may have been unearthed at the Whole Foods Market construction site in Eugene.

The Register-Guard reportedthat construction work at the market has slowed since it first began in July. The interruption may be due to archaeological work at the site.

The Oregon State Historic Preservation Oflice issued an excavation permit Sept. 28, which authorizes surveying and other work for removal ofhistoric materials. The permit issued to Arizona-based SWCA Environmental Consultants says the firm plans to"conduct archaeological investigati ons" and recover necessarydata fora National Register of Historic Places eligibility recommendation.

Whole Foods had announced plans to open the store in March. It's unclear if the archaeological work could affectconstruction.

Oregon senators call for gun control PORTLAND — OIegon's two US. senators ate calling for tougher gunrestrictions in the wake of a shooting at Umpqua Community College lastweek.

Democratic Sens. Ron W yden and JeffM erkley spoke Thursday at the U.S. Capitol.

They're calling for mandatory background checks on all gun sales. Federal law requires background checks for sales throughlicensed gun dealers, butprivate person-to-person transacti ons areexcluded.

The courtissued the ruling Thursdaywithoutexplanation.

Oracle asked the high court in August to overturn a ruling by a Marion County judge, who said the employees should remain defendants in the lawsuit.

Oracle argued that people can't be sued solely for their actions on behalf of their employer.

A company spokeswoman declined to comment.

The Oregonian reported that the City Council approved the emergency declaration Wednesday, authorizing leaders to waive city code to allow temporary emergency homelessshelters,open day-storage areas and use properties to addressthegrowing crisis.

WASHINGTON — A push to overhaul criminal sentencing is prompting the early releaseofthousands offederal drug prisoners, including some whom prosecutors oncedescribed as threatsto society, according to an AssociatedPress review ofcourt records.

About 6,000 inmates are due tobefreed from custody in the coming month, the result of changes made last year to guidelines that provide judges with recommended sentences for specific crimes. Federal officials say roughly 40,000 inmates could be eligible for reduced sentences in coming years.

Many of them are smalltime drug dealerstargeted by an approach to drug enforcement now condemned by many as overly harsh and expensive. But an AP analysis of nearly 100 court casesalsoidentified defendants who carried semiautomatic weapons, had past convicti ons forrobbery and other crimes, moved cocaine shipmentsacross states,and participated in international heroin smuggling.

Supporters oflighter drug sentences say there's no evidence that longer punishm ent protects publicsafety.

Studies show that inmates releasedearly aren'tm ore likely to reoffend than those who serve their entire sentences.

WEEICLY HUNTING REPORT

WILDLIFE

BAKER COUNTY • Hunters should find deer around cool, moist northern aspects with good forage nearby. The continuation of warm temperatures will limit animal activity to early morning and late evening. Remember to check the regulations for the area you will be hunting.

• Blue grouse can be found in the higher elevations while ruffed grouse are more common in wetter areas. Hunters should expect an average year for grouse. Successful hunters are asked to place the tails and wings from harvested birds in the collection barrels.

UNION COUNTY • Rifle deer hunters can expect dry conditions and high fire danger. Hunt mornings and evenings for the best chance of finding a buck.

Buck numbers will be good in all units, but low precipitation will keep them near water sources. Fawn survival was about average last spring so there are good numbers of yearling bucks this fall.

• Forest grouse hunters can expect a productive season. Look for ruffed grouse in creek bottoms and blues above 5,000 feet on open ridges.

Both may be found near water sources.

WALLOWA COUNTY • Buck hunters can expect only fair success as deer numbers are still below management objective and dry conditions will make stalking difficult. Hunters are reminded to check USFS regulations on camp/cook fires.

• Hunters can expect to find blue grouse on ridge tops near wet spring areas.

Numbers are still below long-term averages, so hunters will need to work a little harder to find birds. Ruffed grouse numbers have been more stable.

• Bear hunting is expected to be good early in the morning and late in the evening in draw bottoms and stream bottoms where bears are feeding on hawthorn, service berry and elder berries.

Bluetongue disease has been the confirmed cause of hundreds of deaths in white-tailed deer and a few mule deer in Eastern Washington and parts of Idaho this summer. However, the disease has not yet been found in Northeast Oregon.

It is some deceased mule deer. hitting the hardest in the The conditions have been a Evergreen State but has haven for the gnats responsibleforspreading thedisease, not been found in deer in Northeast Oregon in spite of as theinsectsbreed atwater the dry, hot weather that can sources where deer migrate helpitto spread. to during the summer.

the animals reported was a bighorn sheep in Idaho.

In light of the surrounding news, Erickson became more focused on what was happening locally in case it reared its head.

So far, the area isclean.

However, the disease does have a history in Northeast Oregon, albeitabriefone.

Erickson and ODFW Assistant Biologist Justin Primus in Baker City said bluetongue popped up in theirrespective countiesa few years back, though it never materialized into a serious threat the way it has in Washington. aWehad animals dying, iandl we did document it in one or two samples," Erick-

son said of the outbreak, which happened roughly seven to 10 years ago.

Primus has already been dealing with a condition that is closely related to bluetongue: epizootic hemorrhagicdisease.The midge-spread malady has been the cause of roughly 20 white-tail deaths in Baker County. ''White-tail, for whatever reason,seem to besusceptible to it," Primus said."It can affectmule deer and antelope

ias well)."

Wallowa County, on the other hand, has remained clear. In fact, ODFW Biologist Pat Matthews in the Enterprise office said to his knowledge, bluetongue has never been confirmed in his area.

aWe've never had it diagnosed in any wildlife here," he said."There could have been some livestock, but as far asfi nding dead deer,elk and getting a confirmed diagnosis, we have not had that."

While bluetongue has not yet been found in deer, Primus said a woman came into the Baker City ODFW office Wednesday suspecting the disease in her sheep. The results of tests on the animals are not yet back, Primus said.

With both bluetongue and EHD, the diseased animals, which can die within a few days after symptoms of mouth and nasal discharge appear, have been turned into the ODFW after being SeeDisease/Page 2C

AROUND NORTHEAST OREGON

Options abound to view Wallowa County wildlife A good place to observe mule deer is along the Wallowa Lake highway between Joseph and the south end ofWallowa Lake. Drive slowly and watch along the moraine on the east side of the lake around dawn and dusk. White-tailed deer can be found throughout theWallowa Valley on or near agricultural lands.

Many elk have returned to the Zumwalt Prairie. Try driving the Zumwalt and Pine Creek roads and looking carefully at ridge tops. Elk can also be observed regularly along the Lostine River Road four to five miles south of Lostine, and along the Powwatka Ridge Road between18 and 27 miles north of Wallowa. All of these areas are county roads that run through private property, so respect the landowner's privacy and remain on the county road and park out of the traffic lanes while watching the elk.

Ovine enterprise with an airstrip, is upstream from Starkey. Grande Ronde River Road winds along the river climbing at a consistent 1- to 2-percent grade. There are brief bursts of more intense incline, but they are short and inconsequential.

The pavement is old but smooth, and the traffic count is significantly higher in wildlife than motorized vehicles.

Th eriver and itsvegetation offer ever-changing magnificence as countless ridges and waterways meet the Grande Ronde.

A leveling of the constant climb and less pleasing pavement greets riders to the meadows themselves.

Though the pavement is pockmarked

Granted, barring a minor miracle, there aren't any steelhead actually swimming around on the Wallowa River today. Not yet. But with reports drifbng up from Troy and Bogan's, there is always a possibility. And possibility, when going fishing for steelhead, is all you need.

Because I wasn't planning on catching a steelhead, I rigged up a two-weight fiberglass Reddington"Butter Stick" and tied on a size 8 Octobercaddis,then scrambled down the bank. Memories from last season flooded me, mostly a mish-mash of wet snow, bleak, overcast morningsand crisp,fogged-breath evenings, with days spent scrambling around from spot to spotin search ofsteelhead.

I was first introduced to the magic of fly fishing with an October caddis 19 years ago on the Tucannon River in Eastern Washington. As sometimes happens, I had been catching smallish trout when suddenly the orangebodied stimulator I was casting was hoovered up by a large trout-like thing.

Fortunately, the disease is not transferable from animal to animal, nor can humans contract it.

And a deep freeze would take out the host insects and eradicatethedisease,atleast for the winter.

For now, biologists encourageresidents to reportany dead deer or livestock whose death doesn't appear to be the result of foul play or predator.

"Ifpeople seenotjusta single deer, but more than a singledeerthatisdead or sick with no apparent wounds, ireport it)," Erickson said.

"The habitat suits them well. They love the bluegrass fields and the wheat fields, and live out on the rolling hilltops and ridges."

The grey partridge has an understated beauty with wings of white and mottled brown that allow the bird to hide by holding still. A pastel-grey on the breast blends on the head with shades ofbrown or orange.

Their eyes are surrounded by a pencil-thin border of red. Flanks and breasts are splotched with markings of chocolate.

We often find the birds in short, light cover. And they arealmostalways a surprise when we expect quail or pheasantinstead.

We had to stop early because our dogs were tired and the weather was unseasonably warm, but we each had a bird in hand and that was enough.

I took a few minutes to walk through the old cemetery. It was officially established in 1905, but there were older markers, probably all belonging to a single family. Many of the headstones only listed a first name, date ofbirth and passing.

The orange October caddis is a great fly for hauling in both trout and steelhead. like it was a cobweb, and that moments afterward I began shaking and sweating as adrenaline coursed through my veins, are two things I have never forgotten. When I got back and attemptedtodescribewhat had happenedtome that day, a friend said it must have been a steelhead. And it was. An early runner off the Snake River that had made its way up the Tuc. First thing I noticed when the dust from my bank scramble deared was a number of caddis flying through the air.

Big caddis. Dive bombing the water, the bank and occasionally my face. The October caddis, genus dicosmoecus, or fall caddis, is a big, orangecolored caddis flyin our local rivers that punctuates the end of September and October with some great dry fly fishing. And sure enough, not a minute after I began casting, a brightly silvered troutrolled over the fly on the surface of

the water, attempting, I suppose, to drown it.

So maybe it wasn't a steelhead, butthe restof the evening's fishing was incredibly fun. At one point even punctuated by a nice 17-inch trout caught on a long cast and a swing into some deep rough water il was pretending at the time to swing the fly for steelhead and imagining the upcoming fall's fishing for steel).

On a two-weight fiberglass rod it was easy to pretend I even had a steelhead on for a bit.Itwasa beautifultrout regardless, and well worth an evening's fishing.

One of these Octobers, be it this one or 10 years down the road, I'd like to once again experience a steelhead taking a dry fly off the surface of the river. To be surprised by a sudden strike from an occasional fish that occasionally rises.

• Hospital bills for snakebites are expensive — but the reason might surprise you

By Kathleen McLaughlin WesCom News Service

Three years ago this month Marsha Phelps, of Sisters, became one of the very few peoplein Oregon to bebitten by a rattlesnake.

She was air-lifted fiom the Crooked River Ranch area to St. Charles Bend, where she receivedfourvialsofantivenom and spent a night under observation. The juvenile rattler's fangs struck just the tip ofher finger, but the swelling had progressed up the length ofher arm.

Back at home, she felt tired fora couple ofweeks.Overthe next year, her lymph glands would swell."Otherwise, I think I got offlightly," said Phelps, who'd seen horrific photosofsnakebit e victims online.

Her hospital bill also was relatively mild for a snake-

bite: about $25,000, Phelps recalled.

Snakebites are notoriously expensive to treat, and an Arizona researcher has found that the antivenom itself accountsforjusta sliverof those bills. The largest factor is hospital mark-up before insurance discounts, according to a forthcoming paper by Dr. Leslie Boyer, founding director of the VIPER Institute at University ofArizona, which studies the effects of venom on humans.

'This analysis demonstrates that well over half of the astonishing hospital charges reported in the lay media are not true costs at all, but are instead attributable to the idiosyncrasies of the US. health care finance system," Boyer wrote in an article to be published by the American Journal of Medicine in February. The accepted version was published online in August.

Even after big mark-ups, not all hospitals earn a profit on antivenom, Boyer said. A rural community hospital that

"So you don't have to worry so much about icancerl screening because you're more likely to die of something else," said her husband and colleague, Dr. Steven Woloshin."That's a hard conversationfordoctorsand patients to have."

for a Pap test might be hard for a patient with mobility issues. The benefit of the test is unlikely to outweigh the discomfort.

But even cholesterol screening, which involves only a blood draw, is probably unnecessary after a certain age."At 70 or 80, will the benefit of the test be such that you want the patient to have to take a pill every day and potentially suffer its side effects?" she asked, noting thatolder patients are more sensitive to medications and more likely to suffer ill effects.

There are no age limits on blood pressure screening. And taking someone's blood pressure is quick and noninvasive."Everybody gets a blood pressure reading," Mishori said, "and if it's high, we have a conversation. Do you want to be treated? If you're 50, it could make a huge difference. If you're 85, the ramifications are different. We can be more permissive in older individuals in terms ofbloodpressure and blood sugar limits."

Dr. Nortin Hadler, emeritusprofessorofm edicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of"Rethinking Aging," sees even less value in screening tests.

We all experience periods of anxiety. It's the brain's way of gett ing usready tofaceor escape danger ordealwith stressful situations.

For example, anxiety before exams can make one study more and, hence, do well on a test. However, at times, the anxiety can be quite severe or exaggerated in relation to the actual situation. This can lead to intense physical sensations, anxious thoughts, worries and avoidant behaviors that impact your life.

An example would be skipping school the day of a test because you're so anxious. Or, another example is having a panic attack to the point that you can't take a test.

But why does anxiety manifest with physical symptoms?

Dr. Fliza Hussain, Mayo Clinic Health System behavioral health provider, offers this simplified explanation: The brain is an extremely powerful organ. It is, in a way, the central command center for the rest of the body and has an influence over all the different organ systems.

When this central command system is hijacked by anxiety, the anxiety has &ee reign to cause havoc in the different organ systems, creating physical symptoms even though there is nothing wrong with the organ itself.

Primary care physicians and emergency room doctors usually are the first line of defense. Their methodical approach to first rule out medical causes, such as thyroid, heart and other hormonal problems, and then diagnose an anxietydisorder,isa positive approach to such a diagnosis.

The good news is that anxiety disorders are manageable. Medications are available to help in the short- or long-term. There also are a number of ways of managing anxiety without medication. They include reducing stress, exercising, practicing breathing exercises and using yoga techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy, which teaches your brain to change thought patterns, can help as well.

"So, when you hear,'It's an anxiety disorder,' don't despair or think no one is taking you seriously. Rejoice in the fact that there is no life-threatening medical problem causing your symptoms, and ask your doctor about the best way for to gain control over your a%ction,a says Hussain.

sooner you will die."

Hadler conceded that he would "rather not have a stroke in the last years of my life, and I can reduce that risk a little bit if I normalize my blood pressure." For most of the elderly, he said, that little bit can be accomplished with the gentlest of drugsoften just a low-dose water pill — whereas "getting it truly normal through aggressive means could make you sicker, because all drugs have side effects."

As to cholesterol,Hadler said, "treating high cholesterol in older well people ithat is, people who have not already had a heart attack or stroke) is unconscionable," because the potential benefit does not outweigh the risk of serious adverse events.

And if you're not going to treatit,there isnoreason to test for it.

The same goes for screening for Type 2 diabetes, the kind that develops later in life. According to Hadler, oral drugsthatlower blood sugar, though popular, have never been shown to improve longevity;decrease the incidence of stroke,heartattack or loss oflim bs;orprevent kidney failure or blindness.

But they are associated with

fellow Auxiliary volunteers, who always have something to do. From manning the hospital gift shop and &ont information desk to calling patients to remind them of appointments and delivering floral arrangements, Leitch said they keep busy.

occasionally serious adverse events.

The task force recommends screening for Type 2 diabetes only in people with high blood pressure. But it's because hypertension is m ore dangerous in diabetics, H adler said;"it'snotto treat the diabetes."

The drive-through flu clinic hosted by the Center for Human Development and community partners on Oct. 3 administered 74 flu immunizations to residents in their vehicles in the parking lot behind Walmart.

It was the first clinic of its kind in Union County, and an opportunity to practice mass inoculations for future health emergencies.

'The event was very successful," said Andi Walsh, community relations, grants & emergency preparedness coordinator at CHD.oWe had two evaluators from the Oregon Health Authority that said our event was very well-organized, and they were very surprised that it was our first time conducting a drivethrough flu clinic. They said it was comparableto other locations conducting their tenth drive-through flu clinic.

LAKE OSWEGO — The Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems and its data subsidiary Apprise Health Insights announced this week that the ORHospitalGuide.org website now features searchable, comparable hospital financial and utilization data for every hospital in the state. This is the second phase of a larger hospital transparency effort and complements the comparable hospital quality data already available on the website.

ORHospitalGuide.org, which launched in March 2015, now provides finance and utilization data for all Oregon hospitals, in addition to quality of care data — all of which patients can use to learn about their local community hospital.

This new searchable online platform will replace the traditional hardcopy community hospital report that OAHHS and Apprise Health Insights have published since 2009.

Take heart in the fact that growing old comes with a silver lining of sorts: You can cross a bunch of things off your health-related to-do list, includingroutine screening tests for cancer and other health issues.

time crooks and a young couple (K!rsten Dunst and "Friday Night Lights" alum Jesse Plemons). Numerous odcer characters factor

in, represented by an impressive ensemble dcat also includes Ted Danson, Jean Smart, Brad Garrett t"Everybody Loves Raymond"), Jeffrey Donovan ("Burn Notice"), Bokeem Woodbine, Nick Ofrerman ("Parks and Recreation" ), Adam Arkin and Kieran Culkin.

In adding South Dakota to Mfnnesou as a locadon this season, executive producer Noah Hawley notes North Dakota was used sparingly in dce original movie, "but dcey call it 'Fargo,' in my mind, because the word itself is so evocadve of a place ... the sort of tundra where civilizadon meets dce wilderness. So, dce name Fargo is not only evocative of a place, it's evocadve of a kind of story — a true crime story that isn't true, where truth is stranger than fiction."

Familiar with Minnesota via her many relatives who hail from it, Dunst (in her first series role since

"ER" almost 20 years ago) introduces her "Fargo" alter ego Peggy Blumquist as a small-town beaudcian with simple wants and needs. However, she ultimately reinforces the franchfse's message dcat not everything is necessarily what it seems.
