They are two of the 10 female students in El Salvador the La Grande Rotary Club is helping attend high school. Sounds like no big deal, right?

In El Salvador it is. School up through sixth grade is free. The three years ofhigh school are not.

"If a family can afford high school, the priority is often given to young boys," said Beth Stewart, president of the La Grande Rotary, who in late October and early Novembertraveledtothe country along with a team of seventogettheprogram off to arousing start.

"The girls are left uneducated with little hope of escaping extreme poverty," Stewart said.

On Project Salvador's website is an Alrican Proverb that states,"If you teach a boy, you educate an individual, but if you teach a girl, you educate a community."

That's partly why Rotary thinks this is so important, Stewart said, the idea that the girls will pass along their knowledge in their circle of influence and improve the community exponentially.

When the team landed in San Salvador, the capital, thedaytime average temperature was in the low 80s with 85 percent humidity. In other words, hot and humid.

El Salvador has V12th the area of Oregon and twice the population and indudes a crater lake, Lago de Coatepeque, a little like ours. The country has more than 20 volcanoes, including a couple that are active, and frequentearthquakes. It gets an average of 78inches ofprecipitationin the rainy season, runningfrnm May to October, and almostno precipitationin the dry season, running frnm November to April. The main crops include coffee, sugarcane and corn.

The team that traveled to El Salvador included, front row from left, Soroptimist Judy Wandschneider of Joseph, Amy Hansford of the Rotary Club ofWallowa County and Beth Stewart of the La Grande Rotary Club. Back row from left, John Williams of Chicago, JerryWestermeyer of Chicago, team leader John Kukankos of Project Salvador, Chicago, and Mark Lacey of the Rotary Club ofWallowa County.

The country features beautiful flowers and bird life, cockroaches,scorpions, McDonald's and Taco Bell.

Due to gang violence, El Salvador also has a high per capitahomicide rate,second only in Central America to neighbor Honduras. Lots of razor wire and barbed wire surround homes and buildings for security.

Many families in El Salvador are very poor, earning

$100 to $125/month. Often, they cannot afford to pay for their children's high school education and related expenses, such as bus fares to school. The prices in grocery stores are surprisingly high.

"In an hour, at minimum wage in America, a person can make more than the typical El Salvadoran family makes in an entire day," Stewart said.

Along with Stewart on the mission of mercy were Amy Hansford and Mark Lacey with the Rotary Club of WallowaCounty,and Judy Wandschneider with the Soroptimist Club of Joseph.

Rounding out the team were John Kukankos, team leader, Project Salvador, Chicago, who had spent time in El Salvador in 1970s and 1980s

with the Peace Corps; Jerry W estermeyer, professorat Adler University, Chicago, a lifelong friend of Kukankos and partner in sponsoring several university students in El Salvador; and John Williams, retired attorney from Chicago and friend of Kukankos.

The Oregon Outdoor Education Coalition, with the generous support of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute, is holding six regional discussions in December and January to hear what Oregonians think about outdoor education and how it can better serve the needs of their communities.

Oregon's outdoor school programs have a rich history dating back to the late 1950s but today less than half of Oregon students get to participate in the programs.

These regional gatherings are an opportunity to help shape education in Oregon by telling the coalition what you think outdoor school should look like moving forward.

We gave thanks last week for so much. For the feast we for which we delightfully went back for seconds. For the family and friends at our table. For the roof over our heads.

And perhaps we couldn't see past the pumpkin pie in front of our noses to realize there is a whole troop of people who in large part sacrificed that great American holiday because they were on duty.

We're not talking about retail associates, though they nodoubt had a long weekend that perhaps began on Thanksgiving Day. We're talking about the men and women in uniform who stay on call 24/7 to keep Northeast Oregon safe.

OA'in our own homes carrymg out our own family traditions, we can forget about those in the outside world on big days of celebration. We forget that though all is well in our world, that may not be the case across town or just up the street. We forget that bad things happen regardless of the day on the calendar.

Our police oKcers, firefighters, dispatchers and EMTs are not always visible. Even those in marked cars become such a normal part of our day-to-day landscape that we fail to remember they are there day in and day out to serve and protect us — and adapting along the way. As La Grande Police OKcer Ralph GraAunder said on Thanksgiving,"Just when you get used to it,'normal' changes."

Our emergency responders don't necessarily know a normal. For that, we should give thanks all year round. Few of us can understand exactly what these men and women adapt and adjust to, to keep us safe and maintain our"normal."

We're thankful for normal because of those who work odd schedules to keep it that way.

Continued from Page1A example of similar work on the Wallowa-Whitman.

The difference is that the Wallowa-Whitman is biting off a bigger chunk ofland and using a dedicated team.

The total Lower Joseph Creek Project area is 100,000 acres.

Sofar,approximately 22,000 acres are proposed for commercial and precommercial thinning. Additional forestacreage would be subject to prescribed fire. Dunn said there are 25,000 more acres within the project area that can be considered for restoration at a future date.

Two years ago, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Collaborative, with members representing the timber industry, Baker, Union and Wallowa counties, natural resource agencies and environmental organizations, chose to provideinput on the Lower Joseph Creek watershed and help develop it into an environmental impact statement by Shlisky's team.

Members of the collaborativehave toured sitesearmarked for treatment twice over the past two summers.

This fall, concerns about fish, wildlife and old trees prompted one more trip out, this time with snow on the ground and temperatures in the 20s.

Neil McCusker, the team's forestry specialist, led the group into a stand managed for old growth near Coyote Campground. He said

Roy Garten, left, retired Boise Cascade forester, Joseph Goebel of Oregon Department of Forestry and Rod Childers, rancher on Joseph Creek, look over a timber stand marked for thinning in the Lower Joseph Creek Environmental lmpact Statement released Nov. 14. instead of using a line on a map to determine where to thin, cut or burn, the team is "willing to think of the relationship with the landscape by using conditional-based prescriptions."

In other words, instead of prescribing cutting and burningbased on management areas outlined on a map, the specialists are looking at the forestforthe trees,assessing restoration needs and writing policy based on what they see on the ground.

"The document is a guide to moving the stand to a desired condition," McCusker said."If we go back and look at it in six or seven years and see no change, we can adapt as needed."

Brian Kelly, restoration director for Hells Canyon Preservation Council, for many years was a member of a forest condition working group that was a part of the county-wide community planning process.

aWewere able to find common ground on many approaches to restoring dry forests," Kelly said.

With wildlife corridor connectivity and downstream sedimentin mind, one of the project' sproposalscallsfor thinning within a variable width buffer near intermittent stream channels. No cutting isproposed in riparian areas within stands of old trees, said McCusker, but indirect prescribed firecould beused. aWeare using a conservation approach to come in and manage sustainable old growth into perpetuity," he sald.

Dunn said the county is in full agreement with the vegetation management as outlined in Alternative 2, but wants to continue the discussion on which roads to close — some are necessary to remove timber during logging operations while others areimportantforranchers to accesstheircattleon public

Dunn said the National Marine Fisheries, the agency responsible forregulating steelhead and salmon, determined Lower Joseph Creek's steelhead population'highly viable and not at risk with theexisting roads."

Kelly said the Preservation Council is concerned that old growth timber and wildlife needs are met in the plan.

"As the Lower Joseph Creek project is finalized, it will be essential that necessary protections areincluded in the final design on behalf of old-growth, wildlife habitat, roadlessareas and other biologically sensitive areas," Kelly said.aWe would also like to see plans to actively improve habitat for wild salmon and steelhead included as part of the Lower Joseph Creek project in order to provide local jobs, clean waterand better conditions for native fish."

When the final document issigned by the forestsupervisor some time this spring, Shlisky said, "The team will work closely with the district on strategies to make sure the outcome is what was planned."

Implementation could begin as early as this summer, providing jobsforforestry technicians to mark units for future thinning and logging.

chief petitioner, Anthony Johnson, Becky Straus from the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon and former prosecutors, w rote an open letterto district attorneys Nov. 20, asking them to drop cases.

Johnson called it a"positive development" that eight of the responding district attorneys said they'd take a case-by-case approach.

'This can have a great impact on many peoples' lives. There could be instances where someone goes from being charged with a felony to a misdemeanor," Johnson said."That can greatly improvetheirchances to getajob, education and housing opportunities."

The Oregon District Attorney Association, which meets to discuss issues and pending legislation, will meet in GlenedenBeach beginning Wednesday.

Frasier, who has served as the associati on'spresident thisyear and sets the agenda for the semiannual meeting, said he didn't expect marijuana to be a big talking point.

"Frankly, when it comes to what the individual DAs are going to do, I know the association basically is going to say it's up to the individual DA to decide what they're going to do," he said.

Still, the attorneys at the meeting, which isn't open to the press or public, will likely face questions as the group discusses its legislative priorities.

Marquis said he planned to discuss other counties' plans at the meeting.

While the state's liquor commission is tasked with creating guidelines for licensing the industry, lawmakers will face the brunt of the uncertainty headon starting early next session.

going to do Thanksgiving and then and only then could they move on to Christmas.

As the last bite of pumpkin pie was finally eaten, late Thanksgiving afternoon, the little girl exclaimed,"Now, can we have Christmas?"

Yes, Thanksgiving is over, except for leftover turkey sandwiches, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and a world class case ofheartburn.

It's time to think Christmas.

It's time to put up the Christmas tree. Time, at the Mountain Cabin in Cove, for main cat Mattie and auxiliary cat Sophie to attempt to climb to the star. Time to put up the Christmas tree again.

If you're like me, and the mom that is our neighbor, you like November to be for Thanksgiving and December to be for Christmas. November is the time to give thanks the roof didn't collapse in the extremely premature snowstorm, and December is the time for buying gifts and remembering the reasonfor the season.

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN mas right after work on Dec. 24.

I'd do just that, but my family, like m ost familie sthesedays,isspread to the four winds. Gifts need to be mailed well in advance of the magic day.

Often, because of my procrastination tendencies, my gifts arrive just in time for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in January, leaving my brother and sisterscratching theirheads.

As a typical male, I am absolutely flummoxed on what to buy my wife, Wonder, for Christmas. Money is an object.

If money were no object, I'd hire a professional shopper who could call up the wife's profile on some Eye in the Sky website and figure out just the

Fergusonmayor: Noseverancefor Wilson

• Oficer Darren Wilson resigns, said employment puts oficers'at risk'

By Jim Salter The Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. — Ferguson police Otficer Darren Wilson did not receive a severance package when he resigned over the weekend, the St. Louis suburb's mayor said Sunday.

Wilson, 28, won't receive any furtherpay orbenefits,and he and the city have cut their ties, Mayor James Knowles told reporters a day after Wilson tendered his resignation, which was effective immediately.

Wilson, who is white, had been on administrative leave since he

killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, during an Aug. 9 controntation. A grand jury decided Monday not to indict him, sparking days of sometimes violent protestsin Ferguson and other cities.

Wilson wrote in his resignation letter that his "continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance I cannot allow."

His lawyer, Neil Bruntrager, told The Associated Press that Wilson decidedtostep aside afterpolice Chief Tom Jackson told him about the alleged threats on Saturday.

"The information we had was that there would be actions targeting the Fergusonipoliceldepartment or

''We didn't believe that he would be abletobe effectivefor the Ferguson community nor the Ferguson Police Department because of the tragic circumstances that claimed the life of Michael Brown Jr." Crump said the family is still considering civil litigation such as a wrongful death lawsuit,"but don't let that get confused with the fact that they really wanted the killer of their childtobeheld accountable."

Victoria Rutherford of Ferguson said she believed Wilson should have not only resigned, but been convicted of a crime.

"I'm upset. I have a 16-year-old son. It could've been him. I feel that he was absolutely in the wrong," she sald.

buildings in Ferguson related to the police department,"Bruntrager said.

He said Wilson, who had worked for the department for less than three years, and the city were already discussing an exit strategy, acknowledging that Wilson staying on as an officer there would be impossible.

Many have criticized the authorities' handling of the case, but Knowles said no leadership changes were in the works. Asked ifhe would resign, Jackson said flatly, "No." BenjaminCrump, an attorney for Brown's family, said Wilson's resignation was not a surprise.

"It was always believed that the police officer would do what was in his best interest, both personally and professionally," Crump said.

WHO will miss own Dec. 1 Ebola target LONDON — Two months ago, the World Health Organization launched an ambitious plantostop the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Atrica, aiming to isolate 70 percent of the sick and safely bury 70 percent of the victims in the three hardest-hit countries — Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone — by Dec.1.

Only Guinea is on track to meet the December 1 goal, according to an update from

WHO. In Liberia, only 23 percent ofcasesareisolated and 26 percentoftheneeded burial teams are in place. In Sierra Leone, about 40 percent of cases are isolated while 27 percentofburialteams are operational.

WHO's Dr. Bruce Aylward acknowledged in October that to reach the December 1 goal would be "really pushing the system hard."

Their to-do list includes keeping the government runninginto the new year, renewing expired tax breaks forindividuals and businesses and approving a defense policy measure that has passed for more than 50 years in a row.

Also pending are President Barack Obama's requests for money to combat Islamic State militants, battle Ebola and deal with the influx of unaccompanied Central American children who have crossed into the U.S.

Supreme Court to hear speech cases

ltla

WASHINGTON — Anthony Elonis daimed he was just kidding when he posted a series of graphicallyviolentrap lyrics on Facebook aboutkillirg his estrangedwife,shooting up a kindergarten class and attacking an FBI agent.

But his wife didn't see it that way. Neither did a federal jury.

Elonis, who's trom Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was convicted of violating a federal law that makes it a crime to threaten another person.

In a far-reaching case thatprobes the limitsoffree speech over the Internet, the Supreme Court on Monday was to consider whether Elonis' Facebook posts, and others like it, deserve protection under the First Amendment.

Elonis argues that his lyrics were simply a crude and spontaneous form of expression that should not be considered threateningifhe did not really mean it. The government says it does not matter what Elonis intended, and that the true test of a threatis whether his words make a reasonable personfeelthreatened.

DORY'S DIARY

EasyPost -IhanKsoiuinIMeals

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Letit snow! I'll stay ome It snowed.

That may be an understatement, for it was mid-November and the newspaper said that"the first winter storm of the season was a big one" and that our 7 inches broke our 26-year-old mark, 8 inches having fallen in 1985 and only 1 inch in 1988.

It started snowing while I was in town and, in driving home, I noticed that the streets were already slick. By nightfall the snow was coming down fiercely with gusty winds and the forecast was for more of the same on Friday.

I was disappointed. Somebody hated me. It wasn't supposed to snow until after Friday, for our Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) meeting was to be held in Baker City and a group of us were planning to be there.

And, of course, bad roads didn't seem the time to be going that direction with everyone fighting for travel — big trucks, fast cars, blinding flakes and gusty winds.

Surely the car wouldn't be going to Baker City from La Grande.

Oh, yes, it was, but not with me aboard.Itseemed the better partof valor to stay out of everyone else's way who was working with emergency vehicles, snow ploughs, etc., in order to getnecessary travel safely from one point to another. It was my duty to stay home. In other words, I'm a coward.

While our local ladies undertook the perilous journey, not knowing how their return trip would be as well as goingover,Idecided that Ishould do something helpful for our Lone Pine Tree Chapter so that I wouldn't feel too guilty about not being as brave as my compatriots. We had a bazaar coming up in Baker City later in the month, so I decided I would try to make something they could sell, thereby not being a totallossto thegroup.

As everyone knows, I save things just in case I might need them sometime down the line. Well, this was one of those times when I decided I wouldn't let my knitting and crochet yarn just sit there in strings, doing nothing to help folks. So, I began my digging and came up with what I could use fruitfully.

Now, don't you men turn away because I'm talking about bringing out knitting needles or crochet hooks.

The real men of you will know what I am talking about and others can liken it to something with which they are familiar, like fishing line, perhaps.

Anyway, I wanted to make something that wouldn't take a lot of time and yet would interest buyers. In my searchfor a project,Ifound a picture of what I wanted to make but no directions. As long as I had the picture, maybe I could design it myself.

Now, in my cupboard of yarn boxes, Ifound donated yarn,a Country Blue color, with enough yarn to make all kinds of scarves. The skein was marked as having 364 yards on the wrapper, partly used, and another almost full skein wrapped around the outside. I was delighted.

Because of the design of the scarf I planned to make, it was necessary to use a crochet hook rather than knitting needles, so I hunted about and found what I needed.

Then, after a quick breakfast and with enthusiasm in that I wouldn't be a total loss to the Chapter to which I belonged(and to saveface),Isetabout my task. Crochet a chain, turn, work back across the row, continue on for another 17 rows, pleased as punch to be contributing.

That's when it happened.

Our journey actually started with a trip to Caldwell, Idaho, where we attended a reception at the College of Idaho celebrating the life of one of Dale's favorite professors on the anniversary of his 110th birthday.

I had been writing about this beautiful interesting area, that I have to admit I was enjoying, thinking that it was my first trip over this road when Dale reminded me of a trip in 1997 over this very same road. On that trip instead of going on 95 north from New Meadows we headed south and then west on 71 toward Oxbow Dam, Halfway, and home. Believe me, timing is everything! Had Dale mentioned this earlier trip while on the September one he would have been traveling with one upsetwoman — at leastfor alittle while.

So what was so different? In 1997, we had gone to Germany and purchased a zippy little car which had to be crated and shipped to the United States. We waited nearly three months before we were notified of its arrival in Boise and that it was ready to be picked up. Some friendsdrove us over totakepossession of the new car.

Not so. It must have had two wrong ends.

I must admit that I may be a coward but I do have "tenacity" and this was an occasion to use it. While the DAR ladies met and worked to dogood things,Istruggled near the fire ofbattle to make one large doll-sized head of rolled blue spaghetti yarn into a ball.

He had assured me that it would not be that much longer than the usual Boise trip and I bought into it.

Did I say that we were destined for adventure at the beginning of this article? Well, that day in 1997 was truly an adventure for both of us. It went on for miles and miles and everything looked dangerous and unappealing to me plus our gas tank indicator was going down. By the second half, when we were on 71, it was getting dark, we had no food, and there were few towns, all of which were small and closed up for the night. A three-hour trip had turned into a seven- or eight-hour ordeal with one happy driver and one very unhappy passenger.

sweet potatoes • Yams are not the same vegetable ByAndrea Weigl The News Ilt Observer (Raleigh, N.C.) TNS

Hillsborough, N.C., cookbook author April McGreger wants to settle the confusion about yams and sweet potatoes.

First, McGreger says, they are not the same vegetable.

Sweet potatoes are grown in the U.S. Yams are a tropical plant, grown in Africa and Asia, and they look much different &om sweet 'Anythingyou can make with

pot»es "Unless it's bufF-

potatoes, you can make with yy

coloredthe sizeof sweetP otatoes. a football and hairy, — April McGreger, "Sweet Potatoes" it is a sweet potato" cookbook author

said McGreger, who has just published her first cookbook, "Sweet Potatoes," part of the UNC-Press Savor the South cookbook series.

McGreger, 38, knows her sweet potatoes. She grew up in Vardaman, Miss., self-described Sweet Potato Capital of the United States. iTake that North Carolina! l She was never crowned Miss Sweet Potato, but her brother and fatherare or havebeen sweet potatofarmers.iTriangle residents may know McGreger for her artisan pickles and preserves sold under the Farmer's Daughter Brand at local farmersmarkets and stores.)

So why do folks get yams and sweet potatoes mixed up?

'Yam is a vernacular term for sweet potato," McGreger scud.

When West Alricans were forced into slavery and brought to the U.S., they were familiar with yams, and sweet potatoes were the only comparable substitute in the New World. Hence, sweet potatoes became called by the same name.

The yam misnomer became further entrenched in the 1930s when the U.S. Department of Agriculture allowed Louisiana farmers to market their sweet potatoes as yams.

W ith sweet potatocasserolesand piestobe featured on holiday tables, McGreger wants home cooks to know that sweetpotatoes lend themselves tosavory dishes asw ell.

"Anything you can make with potatoes, you can make with sweetpotatoes,"she said.

Try sweet potato latkes, sweet potato hash browns or even sweet potato fiies, she suggested. Among the 50 recipesin her cookbook are roasted sweet potato with crispykale,sweet potatochilerellenos and sweet potato hummus.

Here's one key tip from McGreger: Buy dirty sweet potatoes. Unwashed, cured sweet potatoes, which are more likely to be found at local farmers markets, will keep for months in a cool, dark place that doesn't get below 55 degrees.

But thosewashed sweet potatoes sold atthegrocery store will only last a few weeks.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND CRISPY KALE From "Sweet Potatoes: A Savor the South Cookbook," by April McGreger (UNC Press, 2014).

3 medium sweet potatoes, about 1 "/E pounds, preferably slender, unpeeled and scrubbed 4 shallots, sliced in half lengthwise 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 "/E teaspoons kosher salt /2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Big pinch of cumin Pinch of cinnamon Pinch of crushed red pepper 2 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 bunch of curly or red Russian kale, washed and torn into 2- to 3-inch pieces, thick stems discarded 2 garlic cloves, sliced lengthwise Lemon wedges Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment. With a chef's knife (large), slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and cut each half in half crosswise. Cut each quarter into wedges 2-4 inches long and about 1 inch thick. Try to keep the thickness fairly uniform.

Place sweet potatoes in a medium bowl with shallots and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, vinegar and brown sugar.

Spread wedges out on the baking sheet and roast until the larger pieces are tender when pierced with a sharp paring knife, about 35 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip any that are getting too brown on the edges.

While sweet potatoes are cooking, place kale in the same bowl the sweet potatoes were in, along with sliced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Do not toss yet.

When sweet potatoes are tender, remove baking sheet from the oven and turn oven temperature to 300 degrees.

Toss kale mixture with oil left in the bowl from sweet potatoes, adding another teaspoon if necessary to coat evenly.

Spread kale out over the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet.

Return to the oven and bake until kale is crisp, another 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve hot, warm or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

Yield: 4-6 servings.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER2, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you often do things that you understand might be forbidden, but you most often operate according to the belief that forgiveness is easier to get than permission!

This means that you have no qualms about doing what you perhaps should not do, as long as you areconfident that those in charge will look at the offense in a lighthearted way and not hold it against you. Take care, however! Others can tolerate only so much of this. Eventually, if you keep it up, you will simplybeseen as one who habitually breaks the rules, and some kind of punishment is sure to follow. Now and then, you must simply do as youaretold.

Austin Amencan-Statesman

AUSTIN, Texas — Before he riddled Austin's police headquarters and the federal courthouse with bullets and attempted to burn down the Mexican Consulate early Friday, Larry Steven McQuilliams came to Austin apparently looking for a &esh start he never found.

McQuilliams, who was 49 and went by Steve, had been incarcerated in Texarkana in the late 1990s. He had lived in Wichita, Kan., but left after growing fi ustrated with a job there, only to fail several background checks in Austin and land nothing more than a job at a car wash, according to one neighbor.

Itis still not clear why McQuilliams decided to reportedly fire more than 100 bullets in downtownAustin just minutes after thebarsclosed Friday,or why he tried to burn down the consulate. But McQuilliams did appear to be angry with the government, according to the neighbor, McQuilliams' Facebook page and an initial law enforcement assessment.

Austin police and the FBI are investigating the incident, which ended with McQuilliams'death when police Sgt. Adam Johnsonfi red back with one hand while holding two patrol horses steady with his other.

Because hundreds of people had poured into downtown fiom bars just minutes before McQuilliams began shooting shortly after 2 a.m.,"I give thanks that no one but the suspectisinjured or deceased," Police Chief Art Acevedo said at a Friday

The incident ended at the police station, where Johnson, a 15-year veteran with the Austin Police Department, was corralling two horses after his night shift.

When Johnson saw McQuilliams firing shots at the building, he returned fire.

Johnson is now on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure whenever an officer is involved in a shooting.

Lacking a conclusion from the medical examiner's office, it was not clear if McQuilliams died from Johnson's shot or killed himself.

As Acevedo talked,police had cordoned off the Barton Hills apartment complex in which McQuilliams had lived in South Austin. One neighbor reported police snipers on nearby roofs.

At one point during the 12 hours of searching, police carried out dozens of propane bottles presumably the kind police say McQuilliams had arrayed at the Mexican Consulate. McQuilliams had set them on fire, along with shooting the building, police said, though the canisters didn't produce the kind of fireball that would have seriously damaged it.

The Broncos (10-2, 7-1), who kept alive their hopes of playing in a Newyear's Day bowl game, won their 13th straight home game. They will host Fresno State for the conference championship on Saturday.

With the division title on the line in a game that boasted the Mountain West's top offense in Boise State and top defense in Utah State, the matchup was decisively one-sided.

Boise State racked up 498 total yards and scored touchdowns on its first five possessions. Ajayi, who eclipsed 100 yards rushing for the seventh consecutive game, ran for the most yards of any single runner this season againstthe Aggies'17th-ranked run defense.

He was identified by tattoos at the scene, and a police spokesman said the investigation would continue with both the dumpster and the body of Karageorge being transported to the county morgue.

A police report says Karageorge's mother told authorities he has had concussions and spells of confusion.

She said he texted a message Wednesday citing the concussions and saying he was sorry if he was "an embarrassment."

Verl Miller won two state championships as the head coach for the La Grande wrestling program from 1974 to 1997, inspiring countless wrestlers and coaches along the way.

• Legendary wrestling coach for La Grande touched many lives during tenure

By Eric Avissar The Observer

With two state championships and seven top-four finishes at the Class 4A state wrestling tournament in a career spanning from 1974 to 1997, former La Grande head coach Verl Miller knows what it takes to win.

However, anyone who knows Miller fully understands that his main focus was never winning. It was all about molding boys into men. Men that Miller says make good sons, husbands and fathers.

Under the tutelage of Miller, LHS Class of 1996 graduate Eric Jorgensen won two state championshipsfortheTigers.Despite all of the successes he had on the mats, Jorgensen saidhe'slearned farmo re

Miller graduated from Burns High School after winning a state championship as a wrestler while also playing on the Hilander football team. He then went on to wrestle at Oregon Tech and Brigham Young before movingtoLa Grande, where he coachedboth thefootball and wrestling teams.

"He drilled the same moves so well over and over, then you try to get them into a meet situation. You'll remind them to get their right arm up, their elbow in, or get their thumb inside and things like that."

It didn't take long for the Tigers to reach the top. In 1978, La Grande won its first state wrestling championship, which included firstplace finisher David Long and third-place finisher Clarence Hawthorne.

Miller said he loved coaching all three of the Hawthorne brothers, as Clarence, Rodney and James all made SeeMiller/Page 2C

One example of Miller helping kids earn their wayis the work Miller and several ofhis wrestlers, induding all-state wrestler Wade McPhetridge, putinto the log home he lives in today.
