Shelter supporters hopeful for coexistence • Group planning rally Sunday afternoon By Kelly Ducote The Observer

The money for a new courthouse is in the bank. Contracts are signed. But some Union County residents remain hopeful they can still save the 16-year-old Shelter From the Storm Advocacy Center from demolition.

"There's still time," said Maxine Hines. oThe designs are still on paper." Also on paper are a few ideas Hines and other shelter supporters came up with that would allow the SFS building to remain intact while a new courthouse is built. "I want a new courthouse.

Looking back

By Taylor W. Anderson VVesCom News Setvlce

SALEM — While unveiling a budget Monday that he says shows the state is on good long-term footing, Gov. John Kitzhaber painted a rosy picture of state finances that included a few caveats. First, current and future lawmakers would have to see things his way. Next, the state and national economies can't recede, but they also can't grow so much that the state is forced to give money back to residents under Oregon's personal income tax rebate law. The state is teetering on the edge of refunding about

Proposed trail draws

heated discussion By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

WALLOWA — Tempers were high Wednesday during a discussion of a proposed trail along the Joseph Branch railway from Elgin to Joseph. At least halfofthe 40 people in attendance at the Wallowa Senior Center were in support while the other half vehemently opposed the trail during a public meeting facilitated by Oregon State Parks stafF to allow locals a chance to express concerns and ideas for the proposed trail. Rocky Houston of Oregon State Parks said if a trail is built it will be done so while addressing concerns. For the purpose of conversation, the 63-mile-long trail was broken down into six segments — Elgin to Lookingglass, 13 miles; Lookingglass to Minam, 13 miles; Minam to Wallowa, 13 miles; Wallowa to Lostine, 8 miles; Lostine to Enterprise, 8 miles; and Enterprise to Joseph, 6 miles. Houston said surveys and a land use study were completed this fall, and Oregon's Main Street, a division that works with communities to develop revitalization strategies, is collecting information on eventsand localassets along the route and how they would benefit from the trail. 'They are asking, if the trail is built, how will tourism be an economic stimulus," Houston said. In the first quarter of 2015, Eastern Oregon University will be researching how railways helped other communitiesaround the state. Skye Krebs, a landowner along the rail line, wanted to know the estimated cost to build a mile of trail. Houston said that depended on the material used and the width of the traila naturalsurface trailruns

When they hand the results of the study over to the Wallowa Union Railroad Authority next December, it will include alternativesand projected costs. "Idon'tseea need forthis," Krebs said."There are existing county roads available. The railroad has no emergency access and the cost would be in excess of $3.3 million." He said the railway is zoned for utility; by adding a trail the zoning would have to bechanged to recreation. ''Will that be run through the planning commission?" Krebs asked. Ken Homan said there is stock on the railroad all the time and was concerned about the liability. ''When we moved to the country we did not expect people walking by on the railroad. They are taking something from us," Homan said. While many were vocal with their objections, others in attendance supported the trail. John Baker said the trail would be a bonus for merchants. Joe Kresse from La Grande said the trail would be another big addition for tourism and bring people into the community who want to use the trail. Swain Wall asked how the trail would be regulated. Houston said in the cases of other trails it has been a combination of sherifFs deputies, sometimes state parks employees and volunteers. "Each trail has its own issues and ways of maintenance, patrol and uses," Houston said.

here was something in the air before Hillary Clinton addressed Georgetown University students Wednesday, but it definitely wasn't a new-car smell. It was a faint but unmistakable whifF ofindifference. When the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination spoke in the same place a year ago, the room was reportedly packed. When she spoke in October, Gaston Hall again "was filled to capacity," the campus newspaper reported; some students lined up overnight and others were turned away. But when it was time for Clinton's appearance to begin Wednesday morning, halfofthe 700 seatsin theplacewere empty. After a half-hour "weather delay," diplomats and VIPs filled a few more chairs, but more than 300 remained vacant when the former secretary of state and first lady walked in wearing a robin's-egg-blue jacket and her signature pants. Roughly half a dozen people rose to applaud, and for a terrifying moment it appeared they might be the only ones standing. But slowly, lazily, most of the othersstruggled totheirfeet. Maybe it was just overexposure. Clinton began by joking that she'd been to Georgetown more in the last couple of years than her husband, who is an alumnus. This got a polite chuckle. A spokeswoman for the university said that this is the last week of classes, so students may be busy preparing for final exams. But it has to be a worrisome sign for Clintonistas as they prepare to launch her 2016 juggernaut. President Obama, talking to ABC News's George Stephanopoulos last month about Clinton's

scale fires.

And in Northeast Oregon, in drought season, good soaking rains are rare indeed. That's why it's critical that the Sled Springs helirappel base be saved. The Forest Service wants to consolidate Sled Springs into the Blue Mountain RappelBase in La Grande,a m ovescheduled for 2016. That might be good news for La Grande. But it's not good news at all for Wallowa County. It's time to think twice about such action. Consider that Wallowa County is about the same size as some East Coast states. Consider also that Forest Service holdings comprise 56 percent of the county land area, much of which is diKcult terrain and not easily accessible. Flying crews out of La Grande would take much longer to provide initial attack, and prevent extinguishing some fires before they explode into major conflagrations. Consolidating the bases and putting the headquarters in La Grande would save money, the Forest Service says. That's true, in the short-term view. Sled Springs needs help. Among other things, the solar power system at Sled Springs needs work, and a fence needs to be built for security. Those expenses, however, would quickly be far less than the expense of fighting a large fire that could have been doused with a quick response. There would also be loss of timber and grazing resources, which are critical to the county's economic well-being. Wallowa County also needs the jobs. Approximately 19jobs in the county are at stake if the base closes. Loss of those jobs would have a ripple effect. It would also result in the loss of spouses'jobs, cause a decline in school enrollment and take a bite out oflocal businesses where these people shop. Part of wise stewardship, which is vital to the local economy, is quick response to forest fires. If Sled Springs closes, more fires will escape initial attack and cost more money to extinguish. Sure, more salvage logging and thinning would improve forest health. But that is the long range view. In the short-term, saving the Sled Springs rappelbaseisnecessary because the forestisripe

TOUR

Visit lagrandeobserver.com to see video highlights of the La Grande city councilors' tour of the Liberty Theatre.

Continued from Page1A nonprofit for the theater, which owns the building today. Fully restored, the theater will have 456 seats and include a number of architecturalfeatures from its early days, such as a canopy and bladesign. Mammen said they have also located the original pipe organ — in Anchorage, Alaska — and are making plans to have it returned. Local actor and musician Brent Smith, who led the tour,said there are alsoplans to acquire the Rygg Building next door, which will allow for more amenities, including an expanded lobby and concessions. eWe still need a place to come together," said Smith, who also serves on the theater foundation board. "Restoring this theater will allow it to become La Grande's living room, a placetowatch a child's ballet performance, a place to watch touring musicians, a place to watch local musicians, a place to watch locally produced plays and films. It will be the anchor of the arts and culture community in Union County." Once a vaudeville theater, the Liberty later became a movie house before closing in 1959.Itwasconverted to retail spacein the 1960s. Smith and others said there are no limits to what could happen at the theater once it's completed, which Smith said could be as soon as two years. 'This space can be used for a lotofthings, "hesaid. Mayor-elect Steve Clements noted at the end of the tour that the theater could be a venue for traveling musi-

cians and artists looking for another booking. ''When you're situated between Boise and Portland, or Boise and Seattle, there are people passing through," Clements said."If you can snag them on that tour, you can put them in a venue like this. The intimacy that this type of venue has isn't what they're going to get in a stadium." Mayor Dan Pokorney noted the need for another theater. Union County is home to Eastern Oregon University's McKenzie Theatre and the Elgin Opera House, though those venues stay busy. 'You talk with the people from the university, theQ

tell you McKenzie is completely booked allthe time, so there Pokomey is a need for another theater this size," Pokorney said. Some councilors had been through the theater before, but Councilor-elect Justin Rock, he appreciated seeing the building for the first time. "I thought the tour was great. Itw asreally educational," he said."It will be great for the community once they get it done." Contact Kelly Ducote at 541-786-4230or kducoteCI lagrandeobserver.com.

WASHINGTON — The revised draft of the Pentagon funding bill released by the House Rules Committee Wednesday includes a sectiondevoted topubliclands bills, several of which pertain to Oregon. With only a few days remaining in the lame duck session before Congress breaks for the year, lawmakersarescrambling to attach their stand alone bills to larger funding bills with a high probability of passing.

really tough. Therearesupporters scattered in the Legislature who say changes to the current personal income kicker will be debated in 2015. "The only good thing about the kicker is itdoeskeep usfrom overspending when we have a sudden windfall," said Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland, who has long been a proponent ofletting the statekeep atleastsome ofitssurpluses rather than divvying it up and sending ittotaxpayers. Instead, Burdick and others say, the state should put that money into its Rainy Day Fund, which will be around $211 million at the end of this biennium, according to state economists. Gov. Ted Kulongoski was forced in 2007 to give $1 billion in kicker rebates that otherwise could have helped smooth cuts as the nation slid into the Great Recession, which pummeled Oregon. "I have no problem with a system that prevents the state from building a huge surplus," Kitzhaber said.'The problem with the kicker is that it's the entireportion iaboveltheforecastthat isrebated,notjusttheportion over 2 percent." A Kitzhaber spokeswoman said Tuesdaythegovernor would work with

Under the system, state economists make a revenue forecast every two years based on expected economic performance. If actual performance exceedsthe forecastby 2 percent or m ore, the state has to give the surplus money back to residents. 'There isn't a family or business in this country that operates like that," Kitzhaber said."In good times you should be able to invest in your human capital, invest in infrastructure.a The system was created in 1979, and voters put it into the state constitution in 2000. It's seen as a way to keep state spending down while giving back a portion of the income taxes Oregonians pay. ilncome tax accounts for 83 percent of the $18.7 billion in expected general fund/lottery revenue for the next biennium.) But critics have long held that the system is inherently flawed, as economicforecastsareoften conservative, and they say the kicker forces the state to cut priorities such as education and police while budgeting when times are

leaders on kicker reform" next session as partofbroader budgeting issues. Sen. Rod Monroe, D-Portland, who has also long been a kicker critic, will file a bill that would ask voters to send surplus revenue to schools rather than to their pocketbooks. That happened via a ballot measure in 2012with thestate'scorporate income tax kicker, which now sends surplus funds to schools. ''When there is additional money and we're underfunding higher education, we're underfunding preschool, we're underfunding K-12, we're certainly underfunding state police," Monroe said, "then if there is some extra money, I'd like to see it used for those needs." Educationgroups criticized thegovernor's proposed budget as not doing enough to fund schools that are still climbing back from deep cuts after the recession. Monroe said he would prefer to move a bill only if it finds Republican support, though he said the Democrats' 18-12 supermajority in the Senate and 35-25 lead in the House wouldn't hurt itschances ofpassing. But kicker changes could face stark opponents among the Legislature's fiscal conservatives, such as Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend.

The Eastern Oregon University women's basketball team is limping into Cascade Collegiate Conference

play. The Mountaineers have maintained a solid 6-3 record through the early nonconference slate, and begin conference action Friday against The Evergreen State (Wash.l College tonight, and take on Northwest (Wash.l University Saturday, both at Quinn Coliseum.

However, the journey thus far has not been the typical healthy stretch most teams enjoy at the start of the season. ewe have had only three practices since Sept. 15 that all the players have been there," head coach Anji Weissenfluh said."But they've been resilient." Eastern has had a litany of injuries to deal with since opening night Oct. 17, and the injury bug struck again last weekend at the Lady Yotes Classic in Caldwell, Idaho. Senior forward Kassy Larson, the team leader in scor-

ing (15.5 points) and rebounding (9.1 reboundslpergame, suffered a concussion during the road trip, but Weissenfluh expects Larson to clear the

concussion protocol in time for Friday. Redshirt freshman guard Maya Ah You, who was a preseason All-CCC member, reinjured her knee during the team's first game, a 76-50 win over New Hope Christian College, and has been out of the lineup since. "Maya will be restricted, but should get some limited playing time this weekend,"Weissenfluh said."She was a potentialstarterthatwilladd some scoring on the outside. She's been rehabbing well, but we will definitely be holding our breath on the sideline."

Being the first trip for the program to nationals, no matter what happens the rest of the way, that's a long way for the program to come." Two seniors kept the season alive for Eastern.

"Casey is one of those players that plays in the moment — she was a big momentumchanger," McLean-Morehead said."To see 45 digs for Jessalyn was ridiculous. Jess is the reason we won. She is by farone ofthebestliberos I've seen out here." Junior Katina Ferguson added 14 kills, giving her 39 for the three matches, and freshman Emily Nay had 10 kills and five blocks.

For the Union girls basketball team, there is no time like the present to compete for a state championship. The Bobcats will be without three players &om last year's team while returning senior Keesha Sarman, the two-time reigning Class 2A player of the year. "Keesha is a phenomenal player, and everyone around the state knows that," Rickman-Johansen said. "She's our team leader, and will do so many things both offensively and defensively. She's fun to coach, and she's an excellent teammate." In addition, Union will compete with seniors Sarah

''We aretruly blessed becausethese girlsare true champions," Rickman-Johansen said.'They play and act like champions, while having a great mindset and mentality that enables great things to happen." In additio n to an established senior class, RickmanJohansen looks forward to having cross country star Elly Wells in the fold, as well as Delanie Kohr, who started forthe Bobcats lastseason as a freshman.

and a two-year budget of $6.4 million. A month ago,Oregon votersapproved legalrecreational marijuana, effective July 1. The measure gives the state Liquor Control Commission the chore of making rules and overseeingthetrade.Its requestsaid time isshortto get rules in place. It seeks salary and expense money for four initial positions: a program manager, two policy analysts and a public affairs staffer. The request will be consideredon Monday by theJoint Subcommittee on Education and on Wednesday by the Emergency Board. The board is made up oflegislative leaders who can allocate money fiom acontingencyfund when the Legislature isn'tin session. The state fiscal analyst,

who prepared the request, Michelle Deister, provided the estimate ofup to 30 workers and a two-year budget of more than $6 million. 'That said, ultimately the number of employees and thereforepersonal services expenditures will be dependenton the number of licensees," she wrote. Deister's analysis spelled outissues the new staffhas to address. Among them: — Where marijuana production, processing, and retail facilities will be located. — How licensed businesses may advertise. — Whether medical and recreational marijuana may be sold from the same retail outlet. — How to track marijuana as it moves through the system sothe state can determine taxes and prevent leakage into the illicit market. — Determining civil penalties for violations. — Determining the extent to which testing will be regulated. Deister said the marijuana stafFwill also be responsible for choosing a computer system to track financial reports and data from licensees; processing license applications and investigating the backgrounds of applicants;

It will be phased in over the next three years. The county agreed to the minimum wage as part of its new contract with union workers.

The Observer

M ENNONITES RE I N TRUE TO THEIR PRINCIPLES

For The Observer

To reach the Mennonite church kom La Grande, take Island Avenue past D&B Supply, the long 16 miles of mint and grain fields, falcons perched on telephone poles, farmhouses, cows and bales all the way to the small town of Cove, across Lower Cove Road to Lantz Lane, left at the unassuming wooden sign and down the driveway to the small white church. Next, walk through the double doors to the sanctuary, the sanctuary with pews, pulpit, blackboard and pretty much nothing else, the sanctuary in which the local Mennonites separate themselves to worship Jesus and try to follow his commands as best they can. All are welcome, said Harley Kau6nan, 24-year member and current deacon of the church, despite their remote location and seeming separation kom the world.

Cove Mennonite Community Four Mennonite families kom Canada and Western Oregon founded the Cove Mennonite church in 1988. Since, the community has grown to include the church, the Cove Mennonite School, biweekly"cottage groups" and an intensive summer Bible school, all oriented around their mission, said pastor Dwayne Martin, of spreading the gospel and living godly lives. The Mennonites have their roots in the Anabaptist movement of the 16th century radical reformation. The radical reformers stressed the primacy of Jesus' teachings as moral principles applicable today. And because of this reverence for Jesus' teachings, among other things, the Anabaptist movement stressed a practical separation kom the world in order to more purely enact Jesus' commands, Kau6nan said. Kau6nan described"the world" as any organized system that attempts to alrm man's achievements rather than God's. "Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world," Kau6nan said, explaining the"Two Kingdom Concept," a concept stressingthe differences between the Kingdom of God and Kingdom of theWo rld as well as the incompatible elements of each. Jesus' teachings "are not a smorgasbord," Kau6nan said. And ifyou hold to them, he said, you can't just pick and choose which ones to take. Because of this, Kau6nan believes many mainline Protestant churches don't hold to this doctrine of nonconformity to the world. Thus, for the sake of remaining true to their principles, the Mennonites rarely involve themselves with other churches. Alsoas aresultofthis doctrine, most Cove Mennonites wear simple clothing, homeschool their children, avoid television, movies and most Internet, as well as discouragemost socialinteraction outside the church and secular secondary education. "Our kids don't need to be themost educated,"said

House challenges Obama's authority

soldiers, including a German general, during a so-called insider attack during an Aug. 5 briefing at an Afghan military training center in Kabul.

WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives issued a symbolic rebuke of President Barack Obama's immigration action Thursday in the first phase of a multistepRepublican plan to avert a government shutdown next week while retaining the party's ability to fiscally attack Obama's order. Split largely along party lines, the House voted 219197 on a bill authored by tea party conservative Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., challenging Obama's executive authority to haltthe deportations of roughly 4 million people living in the country illegally.

Putin defends Crimea annexation in address MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday defended Moscow's annexation of Crimea this year and implied that the "strategically important" peninsula will remain part of Russia'from now on and forever." In his annual state of the union address, Putin called Crimea's March referendum, which backed breaking away from Ukraine, and its parliament's decision to join Russia "absolutely legitimate," though thousands of Russian troops in unmarked uniforms had earlier in the month taken control of most of the territory and were in effect blocking all Ukrainian army and naval bases. Putin, speaking in the Kremlin, called "the reunification" of Russia and Crimea a historic event.

US birth rate falls for

sixth straight year

American women gave birth to 3,932,181babies in 2013 as the nation's birthrate fell to anotherrecord low,federalresearchers reported Thursday. The total number of births declined for the sixth straight year, with only 62.5 babies born for every 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44. The birthrate has dropped 10 percent since peaking in 2007. The continuing baby bust comes courtesy of women under the age of 30, who are increasingly delaying motherhood until they are older.

Al-Qaida branch threatens journalist SANAA, Yemen — Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen threatened an American hostage who was the target of a rescue attemptby U.S.specialforces last month, warning Washington in a video released Thursday not to try again, and giving it three days to meet unspecified demands. "My life is in danger," Luke Somers says in the footage, which appeared to mimic hostage videos released by al-Qaida's rival, the Islamic State group. It was the first word from the 33-year-old photojournalist since he was snatched from the streets of Sanaa more than a year ago. He had been working for nearly three years in the impoverished Arab nation, "living as a normal Yemeni," fiiends and colleagues told The Associated Press.

WIRE BRIEFING

~~r~~ ':$/g(i7 /pp Olivier Douliery/TnbuneNews Sennce

Protesters in Washington block 14th Street near Pennsylvania Avenue to protest the Staten Island, N.Y., grand july's decision not to indict officer Daniel Pantaleo in the Eric Garner chokehold case,Thursday in Washington D.C.

Police cases converge to stir

national debate The Associated Press

NEW YORK — From the White House to the streets ofsome ofAmerica'sbiggest cities, the New York chokehold case converged with the Ferguson shooting and investigations out of South Carolina and Cleveland to stiranational conversation Thursday about racial justice and polic e use offorce. A day after a grand jury cleared a white New York City officer in the death of a black man, civil rights leaders pinned their hopes on a promisedfederalinvestigation. Demonstrators protested for a second night in New York, carrying replicas of coffins across the Brooklyn Bridge, and turned out in such cities as Denver, Detroit and Minneapolis. And politicians and others talked about the need forbetterpolice training, body cameras and changes in the grand jury processtorestorefaith in the legal system. "A whole generation of officers will be trained in a new way," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed as he and his police commissioner outlined previously announced plans to teach officers how to communicate better with people on the street. President Barack Obama weighed in, saying one of the chief issues at stake is "making sure that people have confidence that police and law enforcement and prosecutors are serving everybody equally." Even before the decision in the Eric Garner case came down, racial tensions were running high because oflast week's grand jury decision not to charge a white officer in the shooting death ofblack 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. At a news conference in New York after a night of protestsled to 83 arrests,the Rev. Al Sharpton called the state-level grand jury system "broken" when it comes to policebrutality casesand urged federal authorities to fix it. 'The federal government must do in the 21st century what it did in the mid-20th century," he said."Federal intervention must come now and protect people from state grand juries." Still, federal civil rights casesagainstpoliceofficers are exceedingly rare. In thepast two decades, only a few such cases have reached trial in New York

— most notably the one involving Abner Louima, who was sodomized with a broom handle in a police stationin 1997.Severalother high-profile cases didn't come together. That's largely because federalprosecutors must meet a high standard of proof in showing that police deliberately deprived victims of their civil rights through excessiveforce,said Alan Vinegrad, who as a federalprosecutorhandled the Louima case.

Former security chief expelled from party China's official Xinhua News Agency says the country's former security chief, Zhou Yongkang, has been expelled from the Communist Party. In July, the party announced it was investigating Zhou, one of nine leaders in the party's ruling inner circle until his retirement in 2012,forseriousviolations of party discipline. In a briefbulletin published shortly after midnight Saturday, Xinhua said the decision was made Friday at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the party's Central Committee. The meeting also decided totransferhis"suspected criminal case ... and relevant clues to judicial organs for handling according to the law,"the reportsaid.

Farage: Breastfeeding women might 'sit in corner' British politician Nigel Farage on Friday defended a hotel that insisted a breastfeeding mother cover up, suggesting women might "sit in the corner" while they feedtheir babies. Farage, leader of Euroskeptic party UKIP, told LBC radio that public breastfeeding makes some people uncomfortable, and women should do it"in a way that is

not openly ostentatious." He spoke after a mother, Louise Burns, said staf at upmarket hotel Claridge's asked her to cover herself and her baby with a napkin while feeding her in a communal area.

ASHLAND — The ski area at Mount Ashland has some money to work with and some workers to staff the slopes. All it needs now is snow, which it didn't have a year ago when itfailed to open forthefi rst time in its history. Leaders of the nonprofit ski area said the failure of the 2013-14 season might put its future in jeopardy. It has struggled through droughts and changes in ownership since it opened in 1964, but it never has gone a season without skiing. In the spring, it took out a $750,000 Small Business Administration lifeline loan to stay afloat, the Ashland

STEElHEAD NATlON CAMERQN SCQTT

Iigsfor

deen winter angling t

f you didn't get out steelheading this fall, there were some days in September, October, and November that were just plain enchanting But now that the days are shortening down toward Solstice iDecember 21l and cold &onts are dropping down more frequently &om the north, it appears like steelheading, barring a trip to thecoast,a stick ofdynamite, or a trip south of the equator, might bedone for a while. Simply, not true. For the hardy, solitude driven steelhead angler, Decemberoffersplenty ofopportunities to break away the ice and get after it. At least for an hour or two. Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind during the winter months, besides the factsteelhead tend tobefew and far between the farther up fromtheGrande Ronde you get, is that they are coldblooded."How cold?" you might ask.'Well,a I'd reply, "depends on the day." Typically, the warmer the water temperature, the more frequently one can find a steelhead jammed right up into a riffle or in some thick heavy currents cluttered with boulders and other structure. Inversely, the colder it is outside iand some days, when anchor ice starts to form on the bottom of the Grande Rondeand the main currents are filled with slush, it just might not be worth it) the more likely you are to find a steelhead holding in slower side seams and deep pools. Granted, when the weather outside is frightfully cold,most ofthe riverisslow and sluggish anyway, so just lookforthedeep bends,pools, and side seams and ignore everything else. What all of this really means is that we have entered the season of white fish, suckers, trout, and steelhead all holding in those beautiful, slow-moving, picture-perfect, bends and pools of the Grande Ronde and Wallowa. For gear fishers, make sure you don't have too much See Nation/Page 2C

Heavy depredation by cougars can greatly influence porcupine populations. Low numbers of the rodents in a given area can quickly contribute to the creature's decline. Porcupines normally have one kit per year. Females only have an 8 to 12 hour window of estrous a year. If males aren't close, breeding doesn't take place.

hat's happened to all the porcupines? Lately, that's been an often asked question among outdoor folks. N ot so long ago,forestvisitors could often see these little quill pigs throughout our local forests. One could &equently see road kills along our highways. You just don't see that anymore. It doesn't take much digging to turn up possible clues. Like almost anything wildlife related, there's no single answer. The .22 caliber rifle is a likely suspect. More folksdriveour backwoods these days. Porcupines are very slow and can make an easy target for those who have little respect for wild things. Click"porcupines/cougars" on the Internet and another culprit will come to light. Cougars love to eat porcupines. They quickly learn to flip the rodents over to reach the quillless underbelly. In the 1970s, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife examined the stomach contents of 64 Northeast Oregon mountain lions taken by hunters over a three-year period. Behind the obvious elk and deer, porcupines tookthird place asprey items for

BLUE MT. ' CHRONICLES JIM WARD the big cats. A study in Nevada, where cougars had recently taken over a largearea ofthesemi-desert, showed that porcupines had become extinct in that area within three years. Other studies thoughout the West have shown similar results. In fact, many wildlife biologists refer to porcupines as cougar candy. Pat Matthews, with the ODFW, sheds light on the issue. Matthews noticed that porcupines began disappearing around the late 1980s."The dramatic upswing in cougar numbers likely had a profound effect on the rodent's numbers," he said. Afteralow ofaround 200 cats, in the 1950s, cougars number around 5,000 today. Nearly 60 percent of the cats brought into Matthew's Enterprise oSce have quills attached. You have to confessthat porcupines are arather unique creature. I'm quite sure that if aliens were given the task of collecting the most unusual critters on Earth, porcupines

FLY-TYING CORNER

FISHING REPORT

Ice flow release putting Grande Rondefish on the move

Pheasant tail nymph a fly-fisherman's staple

The Grande Ronde is free of ice and the river received a much needed bump in flows late last week. This flow increase will put fish on the move from the lower river. Boating will be much easier for both rafters and drift boaters. With cooling water temperatures, look for fish to move to calmer water where they can conserve energy while holding. A healthy proportion of two salt fish has resulted in a large average size this year. So, expect a few larger fish and some screaming drags! Remember, only adipose-fin clipped rainbow trout may be retained and all bull trout must be released unharmed. Fall Chinook are in the lower Grande Ronde and anglers a catching a few. There is no open Chinook season on the Grande Ronde. Please release these fish immediately and allow them to finish spawning.

This fly really comes into its own when casting from shore or twitch-trolling behind a float tube. Either a floating line or a slow-sink line can be used to put this pattern into play. Tie on a long fluorocarbon leader and use a slow retrieve. If fish are cruising, put the bug out on a tight line and let it work without any movement. Tie this one with brown thread on a No. 8-12 curved shank nymph hook.Forthetail,use cock pheasant fibers. Wrap the body with cock pheasant fibers and rib with fine gold wire. Use pheasant for the wing case and fluorescent green imitation seal for the thorax

Enjoying outdoors becoming pricier The Associated Press

Enjoying the great outdoorsis getting more expensive. Several decisions and proposalsat various levels of government meanthat you're going to have to set aside a few extra bucks if you plan to get out and enjoy nature — at least at certain locations. Josephine County commissioners recently approved fee increases at county-operated parks. The increases are reasonable: The day-use fee goes

up from$4 to $5 for a singleday,orfrom $25 to $30 for a pass that's good Tom Claycomb photo

Flyfishermen take a whole department just for themselves in sporting goods store. Regardless of a fisherman's preferred method of angling, the choices are endless for the fisherman in your life. ishermen are the easiest group in the world to buy for. If you doubt me, just grab a Cabela's catalog... or should I say catalogs. They have fishing catalogs, boating, clothing and on and on. You could buy a boat, on down to a million stocking stuffers such as lures and weights. And there are a million fishing optionsflyfishing, crappie fishing, bass fishing, salmon fishing, steelhead fishing, off shore fishing and they all take different gear. On this list you may want him to go through a catalog and giveyou a listof20 items to choose from. That way he gets what he wants, but it will still be a surprise. This listis so vast I don't even know where to get started. Well, let's try.

General fishing • Hire a guide to take him on a fishing trip would be a great idea, especially if you went with him. The ultimate would be a trip to Alaska. • Loomis flyrod. I have two and love them. • Reels. You can't ever have enoughreelsand fl yfi shing, crappie fishing and bass fishing all require different reels. And just one reel won't cut it. Even when I go backpacking

BASE CAMP

• Electric fillet knife. • Fishing shoes.

TQM CLAYCQMB

• Tackle box(esl

I take two reels. Then when I go crappie fishing I'll take four or five. • Breathable fishing shirts. • Polarized sunglasses. • Jigs. I love Lake Fork Trophy Lures. They have the most realistic plastics on the market. I've visited their plant and fished with them. They're great guys. • Flies. I have a million and still keep buying more. • Lures. It's a communist plot. For instance, let's say Hot'n Tot. I have to have six different colors and then if you'dbetterhave atleast threeofeach colorin case you lose one of the colors that they're hitting on. Get my drift? Ihave a tackle box for bass, crappie, salmon and trout (actually three to four boxes for each species). • Dip nets. Need a different one for nearly all species. • Rods. Ask him what his favorite rod is. Believe it or not, he'llneed a differentrod for every species. Let's say bass. He'll want at least five so he can have a different lure tied on each one so he doesn't waste time tying on lures out on the lake.

• Fly vest.

Boats

• Fishing line. He'll use different weight lines for all the various species of fish that he fishes for. • Vacuum sealer to bag and freeze his fish. • Outdoor fish fryer. • Fish batter for fish fries.

Flyfishing

For his boat there are a million knick knacks he may need. • Rod holders. • Fish finder. • Anchors. • Bumpers for the dock. • Minn Kota trolling motor.

• Paddles.

I know we covered some of thisabove but thereare 1/64 ounce bullet weights, dry flies, Gink, wet flies, dip nets, different lines. The list is endless. There are fly shops devoted totally to flyfishermen. And if he ties his own flies, oh my gosh, there's a ton of fly-tying gear. That's a whole list in and of itself. • I've had good luck ordering flies from flydealflies.com. • I've got some Frogg Togg waders and rain gear that I'm testing. • Tippet material. I don't know about you but I burn through this item. • Fly boxes. • I've got some cool new wading boots by Korkers that have multiple detachable bottoms. • I found some nice gloves for your steelhead fisherman by Kast Extreme Fishing Gear.

• Ropes to tie off with. • Floating lights for night fishing. • Lanterns. Zippo makes a Rugged Lantern, and ThermaCELL has a couple of opti ons that also repel mosquitos. • Hook removers and needle nose pliers. • Fish scale. • Dip net. • Life jackets, new seats or pads to sit on. • Blue Lizard Sunscreen. What if you hung up a flyvest as a stocking? Or a tackle box full of goodies? That'dbe unique and memorable. The secret on this list is to find out what lures/ equipment he uses. There are so many options it can be a shotin the darkifyou don't inquire. If you can't pry it out ofhim, go to your local fishing shop and ask one of theirexperts forsome ideas.

for the whole year. Campingfeesalso increased by similar percentages, with the largestincrease being forcampsites that have full electric and water hookups for RVs. The National Park Service is taking comments right now on its plan to increase the entrance fee at Crater Lake National

Park from $10 to $25, a whopping 150 percent increase. Still, even if the increaseis approved, it's still a pretty good deal, since the $25 fee would get you inand out ofthe park as many times as you wish during a seven-day period. Meanwhile,the Oregon State Parks Department has announced it will no longer offer its "Discovery Season" discounts for campers during the winter months. The 20-year-old program, which offers a $4-per-night discount for off-season campers, will remain in effect through April. After that, however, thereareno plans to offer it next year. None of these increases

are particularly hefty — even the increase at Crater Lake marks the first time the entrance fee there has been raised since 1997. Yet, they do reflect a changing attitude toward the way these public resources are managed and funded. For example, it was less than a decade ago that you could visit any park in Josephine County for free, as long as you didn't plan to spend the night. Now, our county parks receive no general taxpayer support and must cobble together a budgetfrom a combination of user fees and grants from outsidesources. Similarly, state parks earn about half of their annual $48 million budget from parkingand camping fees. Officials at the departmentpredictthat doing away with the Discovery Season discounts will increase revenue by as

much as $500,000 a year. What has changed over the years is the attitude that these natural areas are worthy of taxpayer support, so they can be "free" to those who use them. The truth is, they were never "free" — they were simply more extensively subsidized with general tax revenue. Maybe putting more of thefunding burden on the actual users is a more fair way to go. However, at some point, price increases could lead to a decline in use, which could trigger a decline in revenue. For now, this evolution toward a new funding model seems to be working. It will be interesting to see whether it will continue to work in the long run.

There aren't many scientific studiesthatsupportthe effectiveness of thermography, and the small ones that do say it may be useful in helping to detect cancer if used in conjunction with mammography. Most major medical organizations, including the American Cancer Society and the American College of Radiology, do not recommend the screening. Dr. Ray Friedman, who worked as a radiologis tfor50yearsand taught at Oregon Health & Science University forthe latterhalfofthoseyearsbefore retiring in April, said angiogenesis, which the proponents say happens in the early stages of tumor development, does not begin in ductal carcinoma in situ tumors until they're between 4 and 6 millimeters large — still moderately early, but after the tumor has had time to develop, he said. "It ithermographyl can see cancer, no problem,as long asthe cancerisbig,"he said, "and by big, I mean, about the size of a golfball. We want to find cancer that's about the size of your fingernail, or small. Therein lies the problem." By the time a tumor is 2 centimeters or larger, thepatient' ssurvivalrate dropstolessthan 50 percent,Friedman said. Likewise, Dr. Patricia Dawson, a breast surgeon at Swedish Hospital in Seattl eand medical directorofthe Swedish Cancer Institute's breast program and the True Family Women's Cancer Center, said until more researchsupports thermography's effectiveness, she would not recommend it to patients, even if used in addition to mammography. "I think sometimes women are being oversold on thermography and I worry," she said."I've seen enough women come in with late cancers who've been followedby thermography."

'I don't tell people what to do' Candace Parmer, a massage therapist who lives in Portland, first learned about thermography earlier this year from DeLand, whom she has gone to formassages.Itsounded interesting,so she did some research. "I was so impressed by the way it works that I knew I needed to make this my primary means of detection for any problemsorabnormalities,"said Parmer, 53. So far, her breast thermograms have turned up normal. A full-body thermogram showed her knee pain was not jointrelated,asshe had guessed,but the result of a tight muscle in one of her calves. She solved the problem by releasing the muscle tension. "I wasabletoavoid X-rays, "shesaid. From here on out, Parmer plans to travel to Bend toreceive thermograms annually from DeLand. Like all new patients, she must first have two breast thermograms performed three months aparttoestablish a baselinereading. DeLand charges $195 for each breast thermogram visit. Full-body thermog-

raphy costs $395. Ifher thermograms show abnormalities, Parmer said she'll monitor their growth using thermography while working to change her lifestyle or diet — "whatever I think might be the cause of it." DeLand said Parmer's choice is a personal one, but that she thinks many peopleare doing the same. "At that point, you can change things and your body can heal it," she said. "Our bodies can heal cancer if we support them to heal cancer." DeLand said she encourages her patients to discuss thermography with their physicians, especially if the images show abnormalities, and undergo mammograms if necessary. She even sends results directly to patients' primary care providers. Ultimately, though, it's up to the patient, shesaid. Mainstream medicine is different from naturopathic medicine in that it relies on drugs, surgeries and its own imaging methods, DeLand said. "It's an enormous business, with the insurance, with the hospitals and with the doctors, "she said,"and people,in fear, just get swept into it, and they're really not making their own decisions. ... But some people believe strongly enough in their own health and the strength of their immune systems that they feel comfortable with it." DeLand said she was mentored in thermography through fellow thermographer Karmen Lawson, who travels to Bend a handful of times a year and providesthermography attwo local clinics: the Westside Family Clinic and High Desert Chiropractic.

Where they stand ORGANIZATION POSITIONS ONTHERMOGRAPHY: American Cancer Society: "Thermography has been around for many years, but studies have shown that it's not an effective screening tool for finding breast cancer early. Although it has been promoted as helping detect breast cancer early, a 2012 research review found that thermography was able to detect only a quarter of the breast cancers found by mammography. In other words, it failed to detect three out of four cancers that were known to be present in the breast." Susan G. Komen: "Thermography uses infrared light to measure temperature differences on the surface of the breast. Both breast cancer and benign (not cancer) conditions can cause abnormal heat patterns. Thermography cannot distinguish between cancerous and benign heat patterns . And, because thermography measures heat at the surface of the breast, it is not good at finding cancers deeper within the breast tissue." American College of Radiology:"The position of the American College of Radiology is that thermography has not been demonstrated to have value as a screening, diagnostic or adjunctive imaging tool." physician who serves as medical director for the Westside Family Clinic, said she has patients who receive annual thermograms and do not receive mammograms. "I don't tell people what to do," she said."Alotofpeoplefeelbetterwith thermography because their breasts are not squished. There is no pain. There is no radiation. They're low-risk anyway, and if something abnormal shows up, they go straight to ultrasound. When reminded of the FDA's warning against forgoing mammography in favor of thermography, Brust said Americans can discern what's best for their health. 'The FDA has put drugs on the m arket thathave killed people,caused cancer and done all kinds of nasties.... Don't even get me started on the FDA," she said.

FDA warnings The FDA cleared the first thermography device that measured temperature variations without touching the skin in 1985, Sanaz Jansen, a reviewer and biomedical engineer in the FDA's CenterforDevicesand Radiological Health, wrote in an email. All thermography devices arecleared asadjunct toolsformeasuring temperature variations on the body's surface, meaning they can not be used as a stand-alone screening method for any condition, including breast cancer, Jansen said. "FDA has a longstanding concern regarding the promotion of thermography devicesforbreastcancerscreening and diagnosis, for which there is no demonstrated effectiveness," Jansen said."In women who opt for thermography instead of screening mammography, the diagnosis and treatment ofbreast cancer may be significantly

delayed." The agency has since issued a number of warnings to companies whose advertising falls outside of those boundaries. The FDA sent a warning letter in 2011 to a California-based thermographerasking that provider to stop making a number of claims that did not fall within the uses the device was approvedfor,including,"Detects breasttissueabnormalities8 to 10 years before a mammogram can detect a mass." This claim is similar to one that appeared on Imaging Alternative's website:"Thermograms can detect tumor cells as much as 8-10 years before mammograms." The claim was removed from Imaging Alternative's website last week. Jansen, of the FDA, wrote that that claim supports using thermography as a sole screening method, which the devices are not approved for. In a 2011 warning letter to an Illinois-based thermographer, an FDA official wrote that the business' website claimed thermography can detect conditions like bursitis, herniated discs, ligament or muscle tears,nerve problems, whiplash and risk of stroke, among others. The letter directed the provider to immediately cease making such claims orface regulatory action, as thermography devices such as the Meditherm Med2000 Thermographic camera are not approved to be used alonetodiagnose and screen forthose

conditions. Imaging Alternatives, which uses a cameracalled theMedit herm Iri s 7.5 DITI, names all of those conditions on its website under "clinical applications" of thermography — a list that includes more than 70 health conditions. In Oregon,a Medf ord thermography clinic closed in 2009 as part of a settlement agreement with then-Attorney General John Kroger. The clinic had claimed its thermography device could detect thepresence ofbreastcancer sevento10yearsbefore otherdiagnostic procedures, including mammography. Kroger said the clinic also did not advise women who received thermography to also receive mammography. "Putting the lives of women at risk is unconscionable," Kroger wrote in a statement."Given the lethal consequences of delaying detection of such a deadly cancer, I am giving medical impostersfairnoticethatthese typesof misrepresentations will not be tolerated." The cli nic'soperatorshad also been engaging in fraudulent billing practices.

'3ustthe image-taker' DeLand received board certification from the American College of Clinical Thermology, which she said required 16 hours of classroom learning and about 50 hours of working closely with other thermologists who had completed additional training. She said the classroom training, held at the Meditherm headquarters in Florida, was "strictly" on how to operate the camera. DeLand sends the thermal images she takesofpatientsto a third-party interpretation service called Electronic Medical Interpretation, where she said physicians "primarily on the East Coast" perform a thorough evaluation of the images and send DeLand their report usually by the end of the following day. If those physicians find something abnormal, they will indicate in the report that the patient should follow up with his or her primary care physician, DeLand said. While she's in the room with patients, however, DeLand said she cannot say anything about the images, although they're right in front ofher on the computer screen, even if there is an area that seems to show concentrated heat. DeLand said she encourages patients to look at the images during the visit, but cannot discuss them until she gets the results from Electronic Medical Interpretation. "It's not my job," DeLand said."I'm just the image-taker." Some research has been performed on thermography. One study examined the technique's ability to detect tumors by performingthe imaging on 92 patients who were already recommended toreceivebiopsiesbased on abnormal mammogram or ultrasound results. Biopsiesfound that 60 ofthe 92patients had cancer, and the thermography detected58 ofthosecancers,according to the study, published in 2008 in the AmericanJournal ofSurgery.The researchers concluded that thermography could serve as a"valuable adjunct" to mammographyand ultrasound. A 1998 study in The Breast Journal found that, when paired with mamm ography, thermography increased the sensiti vity rate,the proportion ofcases correctly identified, by 10 percent. On the flip side, thermography resulted in a 19percent false-positiverate,m eaning the test afftrmed an abnormality that further testing found to be benign. That study also concluded thermography could be valuable if used in conjunction with mammography. Mammography also has a high rate of false positives. Research has shown that someone who receives mammograms annually for a decade has between a 50 and60 percent chance ofreceiving a falsepositive,according to Susan G. Koman, a foundation that raises money for breast cancer research. The problem with the thermography studiesthat have been performed is that their subjects already had cancer, said Dawson, of Swedish Hospital in Seattle. They don't reveal how many women have had normal thermograms and developed cancer, she said. Recent research has cast doubt on the value of mammography. Earlier this year, a study in the British Medical Journal concluded annual mammography in women ages 40 to 59 does not reducemortality from breast cancerbeyond physical exams or usual care. The study also found one over-diagnosed breastcancer forevery 424 subjects who received mammography. Mammogram recommendations vary as well. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommends mammograms every other year for woman ages 50 to 74. The American Cancer Society, by contrast, recommends them annually for women starting at age 40.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding often agonize over whether a drug needed for their own health might hurt their baby, or even if the woman's changing body requires a higher or lower dose.

Few medications have been fully studied to answer those questions, and what information is available is hard to tease out of the fine print on drug labels.

A "B" drug might not really be safer than a"C" drug that just hasn't been properly studied in people to tell. Wednesday, FDA announced it's scrapping those old labels.

Television's former "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" directed several episodes of that show, as she's done on her current series,

ABC Family's "Melissa 8' Joey." She calls the shots on a full-length movie for the first time with Life<ime's new comedy "The Santa Con" Saturday, Dec. 13, also co-s<arring in I< as the sister of a paroled con artist (Barry Watson, "7th Heaven" ) who's forced <o play a department-store Santa.

- Meiissa Joan Harl works doth sides - of the camera in 'The Sanla |!on' Melissa Joan Hart has had a good time — for a long time — in f'ron< of the cameras, bu< it's no< enough for her.

"I do enjoy directing," Hart confirms. "When 'Sabrina' was over, I really wanted <o make a short film <o showcase what I could do storytelling-wise. I financed I< myself, along with a f'riend; I was pregnant a< the time, and as soon as the baby was born, I went on the film-festival circuit and I< was really fun and exciting." "The Santa Con" plot finds the pseudo Santa promising <o reunite a child's parents. Melissa Sagemiller ("Law 8' Order: Special Victims Unit" ) has the main female role, which H art was content <o leave <o someone

else since she knew she'd have plenty on her hands with the directing. '"The anxiety was crazy beforehand," Hart admits, "bu< I< turned ou< <o be just a joy, an amazing opportunity <o work with some f'resh talent and also some veteran actors and

f'riends." Other familiar faces in "The Santa

Con" include John Ra<zcnberger ("Cheers"), Jaleel White ("Family Matters"), talk-show host Wendy Williams, Scott Grimes ("Party

of Five") and Alimi Ballard ("Numb3rs").
