V • Market Place Family Foods project not set to start until all funding is secured By Kelly Ducote The Observer

La Grande residents shouldn't expect to see any major changes to the building that once housed Blockbuster until after winter.

A lot of work remains before Market Place Family Foods, set to open on the corner of Adams Avenue and Fourth Street, comes to fruition. Grocer Troy Berglund in August got approval from the La Grande Urban Renewal Agency for a $500,000 loan, which can convert to a grantifthestore me ets criteria outlined in a written agreement with the URA. Since then, the contract has been executed and signed by all involved parties. Berglund said he is still waiting to hear back on a Small Business Administration loan.

He hopes to get something in writing from the SBA within the next 60 days. "As far as my end of it, there's no roadblocks in the way," Berglund said."There haven't been any major hangups with it, and we are proceeding forward." A site plan was conditionally approved over the summer. Two issues hanging overthatprocesswere sorted outby the La Grande Parking, Traffic Safety and Street Maintenance Commission. Those issues, regarding a busstop location and truckdelivery,w ere approved by the PTSSMC last month. "Both of those were items that the city m anager comfortably approved,"said Mike Boquist, La Grande city planner.

• Lottery measures would divert more money to Oregon counties, veterans'services By Taylor W. Anderson WesCom News Service

Election season just ended, but another apparently has begun. Two initiatives that would change how Oregon Lottery profits are divided have surfaced,paving an early path toward the 2016 election. One proposal would give half of the state's lottery profits, the second-biggest revenue stream, directly to counties, which one lawmaker says would make it"pretty much impossible" to fund public education in Oregon. ClifFThomason, a Grants Pass real estate agent, announced last week he's collecting signatures for an initiative that would give half the state lottery's profits directly to counties, where he says officials are more in tune with local needs. 'There'sa lotofw aste on the state level with the lottery," Thomason said."So when you see that and you realize we could do better locally, we thought it would be important to put something forward." Rep. Peter Buckley, who sits on the state's budget-writ ing committee, said theproposal SeeCycle / Page 5A

• Bond funds would help restore aging buildings

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Nov. 17, 1968, NBC outraged football fans by cutting away from the closing minutes of a New York Jets-Oakland Raiders game tobegin theTV special "Heidi" on schedule. (After being taken off the air, the Raiders came from behind to beat the Jets, 43-32.)

By Dick Mason The Observer

Union High School's current classroom building opened in late 1911, about six months before Universal Studios began making motion pictures. Today, the motion picture industry is thriving, but UHS's building is a little like a film from the silent movie era: It is fragile. The toll Father Time is taking on UHS's building is a big reason why the Union School Board is planning to start studying the possibility of seeking a bond that would fund major maintenance and repair work for UHS and otherschooldistrict buildings. The first step will involve finding out how community residents feel about restoration work for the aging buildings. awe would like input from otherpeople,"said school board member Charles Morden.awe don't have any meaningful input from the public yet." The Union School Board is closely following the results of the La Grande School District's $31.85 million bond levy election for maintenance and capital construction. The bond appears to have been approved in a very close election, but the final result will not be known until Wednesday because ofballots with questionable signatures, which must be verifie d by the Union County Clerk's office before they can be counted. Regardless of the final result, Union School Board members are impressed with how the La Grande School District hassucceeded at pushing for the passage or very near passage of its bond. Union School Board members want to study the approach the La Grande School District has taken. Should the Union School District later get a bond passed, money from it would likely be used for more than the restoration of UHS. It would also likely be used for maintenance and restoration projects at its S.E. Miller and J.F. Hutchinson elementary buildings and the UHS gym, Union Superintendent Carter Wells said. All three buildings are in need of work because of their age and the impact of intensive use. The J.F. Hutchinson building was built in the early 1930s, the S.E. Miller building in the late 1950s and the gym in the late 1940s. Wells stressed that major building maintenance work isneeded despitetheexcellentcare they have received. "Our district has done everything humanly possible to maintain our buildings," Wells said."But they, like all of us, are aging."

as ern's uni ue • Eastern Advantage guarantees tuition andgraduation By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Eastern Oregon University students were given two guarantees: tuition will not increase during their duration at the university and they will graduate within four years. At least that's what EOU Interim President Jay Kenton promised if they join the Eastern Oregon Advantage Program, which launches next year. "Easternisbeing offered a very unique chance," Kenton said."I've heard schools guarantee graduation in four years and I've heard schools offering no tuition hikes, but not together." Kenton presented the new program at Friday's Preview Day, an admissions event designed to give prospective students insight into what EOU has to offer. The Eastern Oregon Advantage Program will be offered to all incoming students who

wish to receive those two guarantees. Those who sign up for the program must follow some fai rly straightforward guidelines. Eastern Oregon Advantage students must maintain a grade point average of 2.0 or higher. A lower GPA will result in a student being put on probation, Kenton said. Those students must maintain 15 credits per term to keep on track forreceiving their total 180 credits for graduation and sign up for the necessaryrequisites. Kenton added that upon graduation, he will ask the students to give back to the school by giving a donation or helping with the alumni foundation. Tuition at many schools increases by about 5 percent every year, Kenton said. With this program, the student will pay a bit more in his or her first year — about a 10 percent increase or be-

BAKER CITY — If you think it's cold now you ought to have been in Baker in November 1955. For those residents who were here then, the current cold snap might conjure frigid memories of that month nearly six decades ago.

The arctic air that enveloped Baker County in November of that year seta standard forchillthat remains unchallenged. The sequence of events from thatNovember during the Eisenhower administration pretty much mimics what happened last week. Both started with a snowstorm. Snow is essential to sending temperatures plummeting, and here's why: Snow, being white, reflects rather than absorbs the sun's heat. All things being equal, when there's snow

on the ground, and there are noclouds to trap heat, the temperature will drop farther than if the ground were snow-free. In 1955 there were two storms — the first, on Nov. 11, dropped about two inches of snow in Baker, and the second, on Nov. 13, added three more inches, according to stories in the Baker City Herald ithen called the Democrat Herald). The low temperature on Nov. 12 was 1 below zero, a record for the day. But that was just a warm up, so to speak.

Editorial from The Bend Bulletin:

Oregon has a roads problem. It's not alone in that: For a variety of reasons, revenues from thestate and federalfueltaxesthat fund most highway construction in this country have declined in recent years and are expectedto continue to do so. As the statelooksfora solution to theproblem, one group, the Oregon Transportation Forum, is pushing for indexing the state's fuels tax so that it increases right along with inAation. That might improve the situation, at least a bit. Like Oregon's highway fund, federal fuel tax revenues are down, partly because people aredriving less,partly because carsare mo re fuel efBcient than ever before. Most important,atleaston thefederallevel,taxeshave not been raised in more than 20 years. It's been a little more than three years, meanwhile, since Oregon last raised taxes on fuel. That's bad news for Oregon. We rely more heavily on out-of-state trade than most states, and in 2009 exports brought in some $14.9 billion. If roads fall into disrepair, the agency says, transportation costs will increaseand trade revenues willdecline. Nor is there a simple fix to the problem. State ofBcials are studying a mileage tax that could replace the per-gallon fuel tax. Assuming the Legislature approves, the shift could someday apply to everyone and be permanent. We may be, as Rep. Tobias Read, D-Beaverton, says, "coasting on the fumes of investments that our grandparents and parents made" where highways are concerned, and that's not good. To make matters worse, Oregonians have a way of rejecting tax increases when they're voted on, including fuel taxes occasionally. Supporters no doubt believe that indexing the gas tax to inAation would reduce or eliminatethe chance forvoterstorejectabadly neededincrease.Ifso,it'sa terribleway to go. This state's citizens have been willing to tax themselves for all sorts of things, if the case for those taxes is strong. ODOT and local communities should be expected to continue to make that case each time they want the tax to go up.

Your views McCracken: Voters in Union County ready for changes To the Editor: It is laughable that Steve McClure interprets his win in the county commissioner race as a positive job review lThe Observer, Nov. 5). After 24 years as Union County commissioner, incumbent McClure ran unopposed yet lost an unprecedented 20 percent to write-ins. As an unopposed candidate, McClure avoided presenting on candidatesnight to defend pastactions or present future plans. Rosholt, the other commissioner seeking re-election, lost resoundingly to Jack Howard. Arguably Rosholt's loss constitutesthe most accurate "jobreview" for the commissioners as a team. McClure, Rosholt and Mark Davidson m ake decis ions behind closed doors without due process into financial and social consequences to advance the interestsofa sm allgroup ofinsiders. They then dictate those decisions to the community at large. Due to popular demand for change, Jack Howard and Bill Lindsley, a last minute write in option to McClure, started campaigning about two weeks beforeballotsweresentout. Both promised fundamental changes to current county governance. They emphasized transparency, well researched information gathering and community involvement plus fiscal and social responsibility. They understand that demolishing the Shelter From the Storm is fiscally and morally wrong. Voters in Union County are ready for sweeping changes in county governance.

And though you may no longer wear the uniform,we know you're always on callto serve and protectthetreedom and security of the United States of America. This year's Veterans Day parade was a greattribute to allwho have served and are serving. Itwas ajoy to see so manyyoung children, parents, grandparents and businesspeople lining the streets to watch the parade. The enthusiasm and flag waving provesthat patriotism isstrong and alive in America, but especially in Union County. American Legion Auxiliary members have dedicated themselves fornearly a century to meeting the needs of our nation's veterans, military and their families both here and abroad. They volunteer millions of hours yearly, with a value of nearly $2 billion. As part of the world's largest women's patriotic service organization, auxiliary volunteers across the country also step up to honor veterans and military through annual scholarships and with ALA Girls State programs, teaching high school juniors to be leaders grounded in patriotism and Americanism.

Sometimes you just need to bein therightplace atthe right time. Patrick Henderson was in the rightplace. Involved with the Grande Ronde Valley Habitat for Humanity chapter, founded in 1998, he was in Portland at a conference in 2007. "Attendants could attend many different information sessions, "he said."Ichose to go to one involving ReStore. It was the first I'd heard of it. I thought something like this would sure be handy in La Grande." Henderson returned home and saw his dream become reality. Today, he is a volunteer worker at ReStore, located in an igloo-shaped building at 2304 E. RAve., behind McDonald's. It is one of 29 ReStore locations in Oregon. Sales benefit Habitat for Humanity's mission ofbuilding homes and giving needy families places to live. The 10th Grande Ronde Valley Habitat for Humanity house, located on Frontier Court in La Grande, is 90 percentcompleted. cWe'relookingfor cash donations to help finish the house," said Larry Knowles, a boardmember forHabi tat and the advisory board chairman for ReStore. People can send checks to Habitat for Humanity, P.O. Box 111, La Grande, or bring a check into the ReStore. "Profits fiom ReStore build houses in our county," Henderson said."So many times when you give to some cause, who knows where it goes." The home decor side,

TEEN VIDEO CHALLENGE

National video contest

promotes reading Submitted to the Observer

The Collaborative Summer Library Program launches the 2015 Teen Video Challenge, a national videocompetition for teens to get involved with reading and their public library's summer reading program. CSLP is a consortium consisting of public libraries and state library agencies throughout the United States, its territories and the Cayman Islands. The members of this consortium work together to provide high-quality summer reading materials for public libraries to use in their summer programs with children, teens and adults. Teens across the country areinvited to create a30-to 90-second video with their unique interpretation of the 2015 teen slogan"Unmask" in combination with reading and libraries. The idea is to involve teens in reading, before and

during the summer months, by beingpartofthe process. This is an opportunity for teens to showcase their creativity and have theirideas heardbeforea national audience. Each CSLP memberthat chooses to participate in the 2015 Teen Video Challenge will organize and implement their own competition to arrive at their state winner. The winning video trom each participating state will be named one of the CSLP 2015 Teen Videos to promote summer reading nationwide.

An award of $150 will be givento the creatorsof the winning state video, and their associated public library will receive prizes worth at least$50 trom CSLP and Demco/Upstart. Winners will be announced

by CSLP in April. For full details about the CSLP 2015 Teen Video Challenge and to find out how to enter, visit www. cslpreads.org.

Knowles said.cWe can recycle things if they're made of metal." One ideabehind ReStore is to adhere to the three R's: reduce, reuse, recycle. cWe keep tons of stufFout of the landfill over the course of a year, from building materials to such things as couches and mattresses," Knowles said. Items to sell keep pouring in the door. Currently, ReStore is working hand in hand with the Liberty Theatre restoration project, recovering materials such as ceiling panels, wall panels and lumber that can be reused. Those who donate gently used materials to ReStore often arrive with a truckload — and after walking through the store, leave with a truckload, Knowles said, laughing. "They bring stuff in and while here start looking

On the builder's side of ReStore, items like lights and doors that have been donated from homes can be purchased at a steep discount.

They also need donations of material sand volunteers to come in and work two to three hours a day. "A lotofretired people are looking for things to do, and they should consider coming in here to help," Knowles said. "It's not the most fun thing to do — vacuuming rugs, cleaning and sorting donations. But volunteering is good for them and good for us." Knowles and Henderson saidReStore triesto be a pleasantplaceforpeople to visit and shop. cWe want people to feel comfortable when they come in and know they can ask us anything," Knowles said.

Cherise Kaechele /The Observer

Sales from ReStore go toward homes built by Habitat for Humanity, like this one in La Grande. This home is 90 percent completed and located on Frontier Court. 'There isn't a stranger that comes in the door. We greet them. Answer their questions about how to fix or repair things." Often, people find more than they bargain for.

cWe ask them, 'Did you fnd what you were looking i for,"' Henderson said.eThey11 say yes. Then we ask, 'Did you find other things, too?' Most often the answer to thatisyes,too."

Snowvember good time to hunker domTt by a fire all is a weird time of year. First, we get Indian summer, or as politically correct people like to say, "warm, forever sunny days."

islature is willing to make a change, they won't win in court. It will be spending tax dollars to defend a suit that's unwinnable. KANNER: That would be a decision the Council will have to make if/when there's a legal challenge. Bear in mind that there are now, I believe, about 60 cities that have adopted marijuana taxes, so who knows whether a test case challenge would be in Ashland or elsewhere. More troubling is the aforementioned provision that repeals existing ordinances and charter provisions that are in conflict with the measure. That's a direct attack on cities' constitutional home rule authority that, in my opinion, should be totally unacceptable to all cities, regardlessofhow they feel about marijuana and marijuana taxation. I would hope thatif the Legislature does not move to amend or remove that language, that cities and the League of Oregon Cities will band together to fight it. WEATHERBY: It would be the same as challenging a gastax or a city salestax. Attorneys differ on this, and it's their opinions, just as doctors differ on their opinions. I think it would have to come down to what's going to happen in the Legislature.

Only 14 agents enforce abuser gun ban The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A federal law empowers agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosivesto make sure people convicted ofdomesticviolenceorthosefacing restraining orders have relinquished their guns. The problem is, there are only 14 such agents in the entire state of Oregon. The Oregonian reports the federal law doesn't require states or local police to establish procedures for collecting the firearms. Now, advocates working with Oregon's Department of Justice are pressing for a state law that would allow local police and sherif's offices to make sure people relinquish their guns in domestic violence cases. "Despite recent good work at both the local and state levels, significant

gaps in Oregon's laws continue to threaten our ability to prevent domestic violence firearm fatalities," said Sybil Hebb, director of policy advocacy for the Oregon Law Center. In the past year, a handful of states, including Colorado, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Washington and Wisconsin, passed laws to improve such enforcement. In a recent case, an Oregon state courtjudge signed offon arestraining order against Ian Elias two years ago, and a temporary stalking order this spring. In the orders, the judge required him to give up all ofhis guns. But no one made sure Elias surrendered the guns that his ex-wife repeatedly told the court he still had. "Unfortunately, it's almost like the honor system," said Michael McGrath, the attorney for Elias' ex-wife, Nicolette

Elias."Nobody really checks that you comply. There didn't seem to be an efficient way to follow up and verify compliance." Gun rights advocates oppose the idea. KevinStarrett,executivedirectorof the Oregon Firearms Federation, said the federation will challenge any effort to pass a state law that mimics the federal firearm restrictions in domestic violence cases, particularly in restraining order cases. He said peopleare losing theirSecond Amendmentrights without having beenconvicted ofacrim e. 'This has nothing to do with protecting women. What this has to do with is harassing the rights of gun owners," Starrett said."A restrainingorder is not even an accusation of a crime or a conviction. And most of these laws rarely stop people &om having guns."

AUTISM

Family with service dog at odds with school district ByWendy Owen The Oregonian

John McDonald is a runner. If he wants to go home in the middle of the day, he'll dash out the classroom door. H e madeit,atleast once, to the entrance ofhis elementary school when he was in kindergarten, said his mom Jennifer McDonald. That's how 6-year-old John's autism affects him. He suffers &om anxiety when he's around people and sometimesitoverwhelms him. His safety is further compromised because John doesn't talk. John rarely runs nowadays. This summer, he got a big, brown-eyed dog, named Kai, whose mere presence has mellowed the youngster. But John is also connected to the black Labrador by a beltharness.Ifhedecides to run, the dog will lie down and the small boy doesn't getfar.Kai,a trained autism service dog, also knows how to calm John with nuzzles or licks. Sherwood School District welcomedtheservicedog but told the family they had to provide a"handler" for Kai. The instructional assistants in John's special needs classroom wouldn't be

allowedtooversee the dog. 'So, basically, either I would have to quit myjob and go to school full time with my son, or I would have to hue a dog handler to attend school with John and Kai. Neither are an option for me," McDonald said. For now, McDonald is keeping John out of school and recently contacted an attorney to determine her options. Sherwood's attorney Rich Cohn-Lee pointed to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, which says a school district"is not responsibleforthecareor supervision of a service animal." Cohn-Lee said that includes handling of the dog. It is not, however, a mandate. School districts can chooseto allow stafFto assist a student by acting as the handleroftheservice dog. "It's not simply a matter of all you have to do is handle the dog. These aides have a tremendous burden to take careofthe educational needs of the child," he said. The district would likely have to hire someone to handle the dog, Cohn said. Newberg School District didn't require the McDonald family to provide a handler forKai when John attended Dundee Elementary School

at the beginning of the year. Dundee Elementary Principal Reed Langdon said they had no problems working with the dog. The special education stafF went through training offered by the Autism Service Dogs of America, including a school-wide assembly for the students to tell them how to react to the dog when they saw him in the halls or cafet eria — don'tpethim, don't play with him. "There was no hesitation &om the staf s he said."The dog wasn't an issue for us." Kai has spent most ofhis two yearsofdog lifein training to work with children with autism. Autism Service Dogs of America in Lake Oswego starts working with the puppies at eight-weeks, which includes sending them to live with families to learn basic commands and socialization skills. The animals visit public places and crowded events, including schools and special needsclassrooms,said Kati Wolfe, director of training and placement for the nonprofit organization. They are trained to help calm and keep safe their young charges, who typically don't deal well with change

or transitions. Even something as simple as going to another classroom might spark a child to run or fall to the floor in what some parents call a"meltdown." McDonald moved to Sherwood recently and enrolled John at Middleton Elementary, which also welcomed

the dog. "Autism Service Dogs of America performed an in-house training with Kai and the student he supports forthreeconsecutiveschool days," said Middleton Principal Jeremiah Patterson. It's the school's first servicedog,Patterson said. John's autism is severe enough that he has an instructional assistant at Middleton assigned to him, McDonald said. That's what doesn't make sense to her, McDonald said. With a one-on-one inslructional assistant working with John, where will the handler be stationed? The person would be there simply to hold the leash, she said. Most of the time, the dog is lying next to John at his desk. McDonald believes the assistants can use Kai as a tool to help them work with John. Having Kai helps the boy sit and focus in class.

WIRE BRIEFING Nation & World News

G-20 agrees to boost GDP by $2 trillion BRISBANE, AustraliaUnder pressure to jolt the lethargic world economy back to life, leaders of G-20 nations on Sunday finalized a plan to boost global GDP by more than $2 trillion over five years. The fanfare, however, was overshadowed by tensions between Russian president Vladimir Putin and Western leaders. The communiquefrom the Brisbane summit of Group of 20 wealthy and emerging nations revealed that the plan for jumpstarting growth includes investing in infrastructure, increasing trade and thecreation ofa global infrastructure hub that would help match potential investors with projects. Leadersalso aim toreduce thegap between male and female participation in the workforce by 25 percent by 2025, saying that would put 100 million more women in employment and reduce poverty. Speaking at the end of the summit, Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott said countries will hold each other to account by monitoring implementation of their commitments to boost growth. The G-20, criticized in recentyears asbeing alltalk and no action, was urged to deliver measurable results this year. Perhaps in response, the group said the International Monetary Fund and OECD will also play a rolein monit oring progress and estimating the economic benefits of the growth plan.

Ebola-sickened surgeon arrives in US OMAHA, Neb.— A surgeon who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone continued treatment Sunday at a biocontainment unit In Nebraska where two otherpeoplewith thedisease have been successfully treated. Dr. Martin Salia, who was diagnosed with Ebola on Monday, landed at Eppley Airfield in Omaha on Saturday afternoon and was taken by ambulance to the Nebraska Medical Center. The hospital said the medical crew that accompanied Salia, 44, from West Alrica determined he was stable enough to fly, but that the team caring for him in Sierra Leone indicated he was critically ill and "possibly sicker than the first patients successfully treated in the United States." The disease has killed more than 5,000 people in West Alrica, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leona. Of the 10 people treated for the disease in the U.S., all but one has recovered.

E shoye tohelyothergayexecs • American executives hide sexual orientation amidfearsofdamaged reputations, losing jobs

Ib •

By Kevin G. Hall

McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — John Browne reached the pinnacle ofhis profession while hiding a secret that eventually ended his run as chief executive and chairman of global energy giant BP. Allan Gilmour rose to chief financial officer at the Ford Motor Co. and was thought a shoo-in to become its next chief executive. It didn't happen. He, too, harbored a secret. They were gay. Even as corporate America jumped ahead of the rest of America in its recognition of equal treatment for gays and lesbians, it looked at life differently at its highest levels. Apple chief executive Tim Cook came out as gay several weeks ago. McClatchy Co. Chairman Kevin McClatchy came out in 2012. Until then, Browne and Gilmour had been the highest-l evelcorporateexecutives to have openly embraced their homosexuality. And both did so only after leaving their jobs, and they never discussed their sexuality in professional quarters. "I did not expect that I was going to get fired, but there was a chance that it was going to be controversial," Gilmour said."I think that is particularly true in a consumer-products industry." There was another hitch. "I didn'twant the media to always put gayin fiont of myname. I thoughtit would be detrimental, and fm thinkingof the far right.' ... I was thinkingmore the distraction I would be." Gilmour's ~ orientation was neverdearlyidentified as the reason he was passed over. He was later brought backin another role.

Kevin G. Hall/MCT

Former BP Chairman John Browne, knighted as a lord, was outed in a lawsuit by an ex-lover in 2007. Since leaving the executive suite, Browne formed a nonprofit organization and wrote a book by the same name, "The Glass Closet." He hopes to help gay executives avoid hiding their sexuaI orientation. Calling the phenomenon of hiding his homosexuality"The Glass Closet," Browne published a book earlier this year by that title. His own tale is cautionary. Browne was "outed" after an ex-boyfriend sought to extort money. The relationship itself, and the perjury committed to hide it, said Browne, grew out of living a closeted, bifurcated life. 'Yourun separate lives," Browne said in an interview, noting that the environmentis now better for a gay chief executive to go public."It's not all roses, it's not allperfect,butitisso,som uch better." There are reasons executives choose to stay in the closet. Over a 35-year career at Ford, Gilmour routinely used a"marriedto thejob"response tobrush off personal questions as he advanced to executive vice president, chief financial officer and vice chairman. "I suppose with hindsight one was very cautious about spreading what

went on outside of work. When you get to chitchatting iit'sl,'What did you do over the weekend? ... Wasn't it good that the Tigers won?"'he said."I think it is true that when one is out, freer isn't the right word, but it's in the neighborhood." Gilmour inadvertently outed himself in 1996, when, in retirement, he gave an interview to a local gay publication and the word spread across mainstream media. It raised questions of whether his sexual orientation was the reason he was passed up forthe topjob in 1992. It isn't clear to Gilmour that his sexual orientation was the reason he didn't get the top job, but he thinks it was fair game in the discussions. ''When we get to the CEO level, the board and the decision-makers have to be pretty darn sure there aren't any controversial issues." said Gilmour, who eventually retired again and later servedas thepresident ofW ayne State University in Detroit.

And those who killed him claimed to have done it in the name of Islam. I am a Muslim, and from Syria, and he is considered a part of the Syrian revolution." After IS threatened to kill Kassig last month, his family pleaded for his life to be spared at rallies and in interviews in Indiana and Lebanon, and his mother took to Twitter in the hopes of contacting his captors directly. Kassig's parents repeatedly said that they were unable to meet the demands made of them by their son's captors, but they did not specify what those demands were. Kassig's purported death drew widespreadcondemnation on Sunday, including from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based Muslim advocacy group that described his killing as a"barbaric murder." CAIR said it has denounced all previous killings of civilians by Islamic State militants and repudiates "the anti-Islamic ideology that produces such brutality." With Kassig's death, IS has killed five Westerners it was holding. Britons David Haines, a former Air Force engineer, and Alan Henning, a taxi driver from northwest England, were beheaded, as was U.S. reporter James Foley and American-Israeli journalist Steven Sotloff. The Syrian war has killed at least 200,000people according to activists. It has also been an extremely deadly placeforaid workers and reporters.

decorations Even before the ghosts and goblins of Halloween night had disappeared with the wind and rain that blew through our valley, I noticed that the shelves in the stores were already changing to gifts of Christmas to entice our purchases. I couldn't help being surprised even though it has become a more common custom as the years go by. Why are we rushing the season? I wondered. What has happened to Thanksgiv-

ing? How is it that we jump from Halloween to Christmas and pretty well skip Thanksgiving except for the meal? I'm referringto decorations,notthe turkey, cranberries, and dressing, for I hope they will always be there. It appears that the ghouly faces and jack-o'-lantern pumpkins seal the two-month jump. Where in stores are the pilgrim figurines that look like real people in their pilgrim clothing? Where are the Indian figurines, the villages, or anything else that reminds of how the early days in America used to be described? Should we take a little time to think about those who made the treacherous voyage across the ocean to form a new home? Or, by skipping its importance and cutting out this section of the year, do we buy ourselves a little more time in which to stay busy because otherwise we can't finish our schedule before the next event? Does it mean, if we skip the remembrance even through decor, that we should jump right in from gorging on candy and chilling at haunted houses to visions of sugar plums and gifts beneath the tree? Do I sound negative? I don't mean to be, but questions seem to crowd into mind at various times and I ask them uncomfortably. Sometimes I have no answers. The reason it comes to mind just now is that the month between two of our seemingly favorite times of the year is that home decorating is the easiestwith objectsmore easily obtained — jack-o'-lanterns and Christmas tree ornaments. Where was something to fit in-between? Starting as soon as Halloween items beganappearing in the stores,I was unable to find anything reminding me of Thanksgiving more than a few figurines holding Welcome' signs and even some of them had scarecrow faces. While this is all very good, other than a variety of scarecrows and carved pumpkins or fall leaves, I searched in vain for that which would tie the three months together with their own special time of year. As I gazed in amazement at the Christmas "buy me" items lining the store shelves, I couldn't help wondering why it is necessary to skip this month and go on to the next without a breather. Folks complain about how quickly time moves along, even contemplating thatperhaps the globe itselfis spinning faster and we have to race to

keep up. Is this a possibility or are we doing it to ourselves? Why the hurry? Life is short enough in itself, so why speed up the race from beginning to end without taking time to just"be"? I don't know. Maybe from looking at things from the spectrum of my own life, and in rememberingwhat has been, Iworry that even life has become automated. SeeDorylPage 2B

This year I have really pushed my boundaries in baking and cooking with healthier ingredients. I started experimenting with tofu for the first time, I can honestly say that I had verylittle hope for a tasty turn out ... but, I really enjoyed the tofu pumpkin pie. James being my biggest critic, especially when it comes to tofu, had two slices. The coconut whipped cream just made it delicious. I definitely will make this again. I was 20 years old when I attempted to make my first lemon meringue pie — it was a disaster. That was the beginning of the end of my baking attempts, until recently. I made the dreaded pie this week with cane sugar and it came out fabulously. Feeling confident I decided to tryit with dextmse. I have wanted to try cooking with dextmse after I read the book,"A Year Of No Sugar." Sugar is now being labeled the new heroin and beingblamed fortoday'sobesity crisis. I realize how bad sugar is but I haven't found the perfect replacement. There were five of us who taste tested the two pies and I wanted to sharetheresultsbefore Ishared the recipe with you. One person did not like the dextmse pie. One favored the dextmse pie. One person was indifferent. One person favoredthesugar pie.Iwasthe last tester and thought that the dextmse pie had an aftertaste and a lack of sweetness. But, in saying that, if I was not eating sugar I think this may be a close replacement. I admit that there is a bit of difference in the sweetness, but it actually brought out the lemon flavor. I will continue to play with healthier ingredients and I hope that you will share with me your substitutes especially when it comes to sugar! Dextrose isaform ofglucose de-

Some peoplesteerclearof making risotto because it can be tedious. A risotto is not something you whip up for a speedy weeknight meal, rather it should be paired with a special meal as a side dish. Risotto is not a dish in which the ingredients are dumped into a pan on the stove top and you set and forget it. You need to watch it, pay attention and watch how the rice begins to take on a plumpness as you swirl in the broth. The end result is so worth it and your guests will love it. After a few attempts at making risotto, you will develop your own technique. The hallmarks of a good risotto are rice that's al dente (firm to the bite or with just a bit of chewinessl, nestled in a creamy, flavorful sauce. Today's creamy-sage scented risotto is paired with lightly seasoned pork tenderloin with a beer-glaze. A key to this entire dish is also to practice mise en place.That's the French term for having all ingredients prepped and ready to go. You will cook the risotto while the pork tenderloin cooks and rests. The pork should then be at the perfect doneness when the risotto is ready to serve. A traditional risotto takes about 40 to 45 minutes — you should be able to complete this entire dish in one hour. You can be handsoff while sauteing the garlic and shallots, but once you

coarsely chopped if large 2 tablespoons unsalted butter s/4 cup grated Grana Padano cheese or other favorite good quality Italian cheese GLAZE 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage 1 cup hard cider or favorite beer 2 tablespoons apricot jam Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Trim the tapered end of the tenderloin, this piece will cook quicker and you will remove it from the pan before the other piece is done. Season the pork all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper or your favorite all-purpose seasoning. In an oven-proof skillet large enough to fit the pork pieces, heat the butter and olive oil

over medium heat. (If your skillet is small, cut the larger piece of pork in half.) Add the porkand brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the skillet to oven and cook the pork about 20 minutes or until an internal temperature is 145 degrees. Meanwhile, get ready for the nsotto. Place a saucepan with the beef broth over low heat to warm. In another saucepan or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute about1 minute or just until it becomes fragrant. Add the shallots and saute until they are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Do not allow them to brown or the end result of the risotto will be brownish. Stir in the thyme or sage and a good pinch of salt. Stir in the rice and combine well with shallots. Add enough warm broth to come to the surface of the rice and stir well. Keep stirring slowly and when the stock has been absorbed continue to add broth about l cup at a time and stir until it's absorbed. Continue adding broth until the rice is al dente, about 20-30 minutes. If the rice is still too firm and you have no broth left, you can add some water. Stir in cherries during the last few minutes of cooking. Just before serving, stir in 2 tablespoons butter and the grated cheese. To finish the glaze, in the same pan the porkwas cooked in, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and saute sage for 1 minute over medium. Add beer and apricot jam.Reduce over medium heat to desired consistency. Slice pork and serve on top of the risotto. Drizzle with the glaze. Adapted from Food and Drink Magazine, Holiday 2013 issue.

Fans spilled over the side walls and mobbed the center of the field in Reser Stadium. Oregon State players charged across the field to slap hands with fans in the stands or stayed on the turf to cel ebrate a stunning 35-27 Pac-12 win over then-No. 7 Arizona State. It was an unlikely scene on Saturday night. "It's exciting.

Forthefansto even be there after what we have done the past couple of weeks, that just tells you the support from Beaver Nation. With them storming the field, it was an exciting feeling." The Beavers were in the midst of a four-game losing streak which included home defeats at the hands of California and Washington State. Injuries, poor tackling, penalties and third-down conversion problems, among other issues, had combined to derail what had seemed to be a promising season through the first five games. Senior linebacker D.J. Alexander said the seniors and other players decided enough was enough. ''We pulled together and we said, Why not? Why can't we beat that team?' " Alexander said.

The Union/Cove football team's postseason run came to an end Saturday, as the Wildcats lost to Burns on the road in the Class 2A quarterfmals, 47-6. With senior Tayton Duby unable to dress for the game after sustaining a back injury in last week's playofF win over Nestucca, the Wildcats were forced to adjust their running back and defensive back compositions. Fellow senior Jordan Alexander also suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter ofthedefeat. cTo have a season end like that with the way the kids played is tough," Union/Cove head coach Jon Reynolds said."Having seniors who did not get to finish their season was hard on them emotionally." Despite the two key injuries, Reynolds said his team was still determined to win. "Ihave to givecreditto the kids,they still played hard," Reynolds said.cwe never thought it was over because we played without Tayton and Jordan. Sometimes it just doesn't go your way." The visitors struggled offensively, losing all four of their fumbles along with two interceptedpasses. Juniorrunning back Aaron Clark led the Wildcats offensively, running for 69 yards on 21 carries. Fellow junior Chad Witty ran seven times for 29 yards. Reynolds added that the cold weather made it very difficult to catch passes, as quarterback Derrick Murchison went 5-for-17 for 81 yards. The Hilanders took a 47-0 lead in the third quarter after Garrett Blackburn ran for a 9-yard touchdown. On the following drive, Murchison hit wide

hard-hitting and hard-working football team." Turnovers and offensive inefficiency plagued the Cougars for the remainder of the first half after Fuller's touchdown, leatftng to the Cougars facing a 60-14 deficit at halftime. Wallowa finished its season witha 7-3 overallrecord and a 4-0 mark in Special District 1. The Cougars made a resounding turnaround aftergoingwinlesslastseason and winningone game two years ago. In addition, the Cougars will have the bulk of their roster back, with Fuller and Gareth Murray the two seniors who finished their high schoolfootballcareers. "Itwas great to have Micah and Gareth all year," Brockamp said."It was a pleasure to have them on the team, and we had a lot of fun."

Scantling finished with two catches for 68 yards and a touchdown.J.D. Graves also made a pairofreceptions for 13 yards. "Like we expected, they were big and tough up front," Reynolds said on the Burns defense."They have really good athletesand we struggled attim es with our blocking. They took away what we wanted to do." Union/Cove finished its season with an 8-2 record and a 3-1 mark in the Wapiti League, with the Wildcats' only two losses coming at the hands of the Hilanders.

With seven seniors graduating from this year's team, Reynolds is optimistic for the future of the co-op. ''When you're eight miles apart, you know the kids have played plenty of othersportstogether, "Reynolds said. "They knew each other, but they didn't know what it would be like when it's this competitive. They took everything in stride and did what was best for the team. There was no complaining from the kids or the parents, and they knew that's what it was going to take. You don't expect it to work that well, but after the first day I could see they were a great group."

On the following drive, Micah Fuller kept the Cougars in early contention, sprinting down the left sideline for a 67-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 14-all in the first quarter. Fuller would finish the game with a team-high 88 rushing yards, while the Cougars collectively finished with 214 yards on the ground and 14 passing yards. Burns finished the game with 46 rushing yards and 100 kickoff return yards.

WELCH Continued from Page1C around, and Amanda is the type of young lady I like to recruit." Amanda Welch made her decision to commit to Eastern shortly after the Class 4A state cross country championships Nov. 1 in Eugene. There, Welch achieved her goal of a top-10 finish, finishing the race in 19 minutes, 36 seconds to finish eighth. "I was so relieved and proud," Ben Welch said after the race.'We've seen her finish in the top 10 three times and in the top 20 all four years, and that's not an easy thing to do. There was a fair amount of pressure on her to do as well and she's done a greatjob of keeping her composure." After committing, Amanda said she is looking forward to running for her dad, who has already helped her grow tremendously as a runner.

"My dad has helped so much,"Amanda Welch said. "I don't know how I could run without him. Whenever I have a concern, he's the first person I go to. It's so helpful because I trust him." Amanda said that other schools she considered included the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, Western Washington University and the University of Oregon. Ben Welch insisted that he tried to take a hands-off approach to Amanda's recruitment process as much as he could. "I never had any major doubts she would commit," Ben Welch said."There was some doubt because she is her own person, but I was pretty positive she would commit." Ben Welch also said that once Union graduate McKenzie Evans committed to Eastern, it pretty much sealed the deal thatAmanda was going to be a Mountie. Evans is off to a stellar start to her Mountie career after qualifying for the NAIA cross country national championships as a freshman. ''When I signed McKenzie, that was pretty much when Amanda decided to stay," Ben Welch said.'There were some formalit ies,butthatreallysealed itbecause ofhow much respect she has for her

and having a good relationship with her." Ben Welch added that he believes Amanda's commitment will help the program attract more young talent. Both Ben and Amanda are actively trying to recruit Stormy Bullard, a Union/Cove senior who finished seventh at the 3A/2A/1A state cross country championships Nov. 1. As for now, Ben Welch said he's lookingforward to seeing Amanda run one last track season for the Tigers in the spring, a sentiment shared by La Grande track and field head coach Julie Bodfish. "I am so excited to see how Amanda performs in the spring," Bodfish said."She has grown into a great runner, and a wonderful young lady." Amanda, who finished fifth in the 3,000 meters at the 4A track and field state championships last May in Eugene, saidsheiseagertoim prove on her times in the 3,000, 1,500and possibly 800-meter races. She will also get to work with distance running coach Alma Crow, who coached her during cross country after running for Ben Welch at Eastern herself. OnceAmanda finishes her high school career, she will be ready to run for her dad,who says she has a verygood idea of what she's getting herselfinto. "She's been peripherally around the programs her whole life, but I had her specifically come up to train with the gals on a couple of occasions," Ben Welch said. "Part of that was so she'd get comfortable with them. She knows she can run with them, but there was an element of doubt. Once she worked out with them the element of doubt was taken care ofa Amanda will continue to run tactically astute races with st arongsenseofstrategy that has helped her succeed. "Sometimes I like playing mind games,"Amanda said.'When you know you're behind someone and you can run faster than them at the end, and they think they11 beat you. It's a lot of fun. Sometimes, when you pass someone, they have that energy to come back. You wait until they run out of energy for when you pass them."
