SALEM — Many farmers in Oregon still have questions about new rules that will require them to provide employees with paid sick leave starting Jan. 1. Lawmakers passed a bill earlier this year requiring employers with 10 or more workers to offer the paid sick leave, reported The Capital Press. But farmers aren't sure how that will work with piece-rate workers, like fi1nt pickers, who are compensated based on the amount they harvest, according to the Oregon Farm Bureau. The state's Bureau of Labor and Industries said piece-rate workers should be compensated at"the regular SeeLaw / Page5A

Greenwood Elementary School will be bustling with activity on Monday. No, Greenwood will not be ending its holiday break a week early. However, the biggest move attheschool in manyyears is set to begin Monday. Materials in Greenwood's two kindergarten classrooms will be transferred to the school's new kindergartencomplexon Monday and Tuesday. The move offurniture and many other items will be made by the school district's custodial stafFand Greenwood staff members. It is likely they will be working with enthusiasm. "Peopleareexcited about the opportunity the new classrooms will provide. They are more than willing to spend extra time making the move," said La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze. The kindergarten complex featurestwo classrooms, a meeting room and restrooms. Construction is now complete with the exception of a few finishing touches. "It is very nice," said Glaze. "I'm sure that it will be the envy of everyone in the school district." The superintendent is impressed with many features of the complex including its abundance of classroom space and windows that let in a lot of natural light. "Natural light is better for learning," Glaze noted. Work on the kindergarten complex started last summer. Original plans called for the complex to be completed by late December.

The complex was built with money from the $31.85 million bond for maintenance and capital construction that voters approved in 2014. CM Company of Boise is the generalcontractorfor the bond project work. Greenwood's kindergarten students were taught the past four months in two classrooms within the school. The completion of the kindergarten complex means that these classrooms will soon be freed up for other purposes. The classrooms will be usedformusic classesand Greenwood's special education program. For the past four months Greenwood's specialeducation teacher has worked in a small room, and its music teacher went from class to class teaching music.

— Virginia CVHanlon Virginia: Your little friends are wrong. They have been af-
fected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picturethe supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to
make glad the heart of childhood.
lthough he is just 22, Andrew Zeller 's a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at Purdue University. He isonereason the schoolisa rare exception to the rule of unreason on U.S. campuses, where freedom of speech is under siege. He and Purdue are evidence that freedom of speech, by which truth is winnowed from error, is most reliably defended by those in whose intellectual pursuits the truth is most rigorously testedby reality. While in high school in Bowling Green, Ohio, Zeller completed three yearsofcollege undergraduate courses. He arrived at Purdue when its incoming president, Indiana'sformer governor Mitch Daniels, wanted the university to receivethe top "green light"rating from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education iFIREl, which combats campus restrictions on speech and rates institutions on their adherence to constitutional principles. Zeller, president of Purdue's graduate student government, and some undergraduate leaders urged Daniels to do what he was eager to do: Purdue has become the second university iafter Princeton) to embrace the essence of the statement from the University of Chicago that affirms the principle that "education should not be intended to make people comfortable, it is meant to make them think." The statement says "it is not the properroleofthe university to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeableoreven deeply offensive,"and it endorses "a solemn responsibility not onlytopromote a lively andfearless freedom ofdebate and deliberation,but also to protect that freedom when others attempt to restrict it." Why is Purdue one of just six universities that have now aligned with the spirit of the Chicago policy? Partly because of Daniels's leadership. But also because Purdue, Indiana's land-grant institution, is true to the 1862 Morrill Act's emphasis on applied learning. It graduates more engineers than any U.S. university other than Georgia Tech. Purdue, tied with the University of California at Berkeley, awards more STEM iscience, technology, engineering, mathematics) undergraduate diplomas than all but two public research universities(Penn State and

In their scalding 2007 book"Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case," Stuart Taylor Jr. and KC Johnson plausibly argue that Duke's disgrace — a fictional rape; hysterical academics trashing due process — was driven by the faculty Group of 88.

''We checked to see if she was breathing," he said."iThe child refugeesl were like little zombies. They were totally spent." Between 6,000 and 8,000 people came to the transit camp each day.

''Wallowa County had to decide whether to 'bull up' and throw the federal government out or try to do something in a more positive direction. I'll admit we haven't had the successes we'd like, but we know that for other counties it hasn't worked out for them to try and blow up the system," Hayward said. At the same time, Wallowa County was coming to terms with the endangered species listings of Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. Those listings slowed timber harvest and increased grazing regulations on federallymanaged public land.

The problem is that the regulations don't explain how to calculate the "regular rate of pay," according to OFB public policy director Jenny Dresler. ''We needed a clarification and we didn't get it," Dresler said.'We just don't know." Would thenumber be based on the weekly average oftheemployee'spiece-rate earnings? Or the rate earned by other workers who are harvesting crops while the employee is sick? The labor bureau says it won't penalize employers while they are still learning the new rules, but Dresler pointed out that that doesn't stop individual workers from suing the employers. Labor bureau spokesman Charlie Burr said the agency will offer a series oflow-cost seminm aboutpaid sick leave.
What followed was one of the most stressful and emotional weeks of their lives, one in which they were constantly working and averaging just four to six hours of sleep a night. The continual stress exacted a physical toll by the end of the week. ''We were exhausted. We did not realize it until we left," Fuji said. ''We were going on adrenaline so long we didn't even realize it." The many things the Kreiders did included distributing blankets, rain gear, food and water, identifying people in the line who were in serious need of medical help and helping make sure they received it.

On the eighth night of Hanukkah, Shelly Tygielski, her son, Liam Asayag, and her husband, Jason Tygielski, lit the candles of the menorah, which sat on a dining table next to a tall Christmas tree. Shelly was born in Israel and raised in an Orthodox Jewish family. Jason grew up Catholic, and was confirmed at age 13. But nowadays, they identify with Buddhism more than any other religion. Still, they keep tradition. They celebrate most Jewish holidays, have a full Christmas Eve dinner and open presents on Christmas Day in their home in Lighthouse Point, Florida. "I grew up with a lot of different religious beliefs. I think they're all pretty cool," says Liam, 13."Butit's different than my fiiends because my fiiends are mostly Jewish, and my

Christian fiiends are just Christian. They don't celebrate Hanukkah or anything. And when they come in the house, they'relike,Wh y doyou have a Christmas tree and you're Jewish?"' But for Liam it's simple. He says it gives him"a chance to explore new ideasand beliefs."He also enjoys the presents. Itwasn't always so easy,however. When Shelly and Jason decided to getmarried, her parents didn't talk to them for almost ayear because Jason wasn't Jewish. With time though, they accepted the Tygielskis'wayof life. They share Shabbat dinner with Shelly's mother at least twice a month. "For me, it's just a chance for us alltogettogether, "saysJason,50. "If it wasn't for the Jewish holidays, I don't think I would have the relationship I have with her extended family ... which is a very good one. While I'm not a religious person, I think tradition is good."

BAKER CITY — Every December day this year has dawned with the revealing of anew image in Baker City's biggest Advent calendar. "It's a gift to the community," says Katy Nicole, pastor of the First Presbyterian. "The intent was to welcome the community into a different type ofholiday season — to walk together through Advent, with reflection and patient waiting." The church congregation and others from the community helped color images to be displayed in the church's windows on the north side, which faces Washington Avenue and Baker Middle
School. Each window's image is accompanied by a Bible story or verse, and an openended question that invites the community to reflect on their own life. Booklets with each day's devotion were available around town for those who wanted to write a response. Those who prefer social media could find the day's message on the church's Facebook page and on Instagram and mark their response with ¹bakeradventwindows. Nicole said each day's "broad questions hoped to allow people to relate to the ancient Christmas story in a personal and relevant way." She said the online posts received "likes" from people across the country, and locally, people stopped her to

• Death with dignity law lets terminally ill die on own terms By KathyAney,East Oregonian
etsy Moss has always had aneasyrelationship with death. As a little girl, she picked up dead birds in her little red wagon She too.k them home,performed funeral service susing herEpiscopalianprayerbook and buried them in the backyard. When her husband Frank served as minister at Pendleton's Episcopal Church of the Redeemer and previous churches, she comforted dying parishioners as they drifted from life. These days, she volunteers with Portland-based Compassion & Choices Oregon, an advocacygroup for the tenninallyill that helps people understand Oregon's Death with DigmtyAct, passed in 1994.When someone chooses a drug-assisted exit, end-of-life consultants like Moss provideoptionsand often attend deaths. Themos toft-used drug, Seconal, acts swlly after the powderis mixed with water and the person drinks itdown. "It's basically a massive overdoseofbarbiturates," Moss said.aYou fall asleep within five minutes, you go into a coma and you die." Ultimate death comes in minutes or hours, butit always comes. From 1997, when the law came into effect, until the end of 2014, 859 people chose peace over pain using the law. In 2015, a 29-year-old California woman with brain cancer moved to Oregon to die. Brittany Maynard spoke candidly about her brain cancer in videos about why she wanted to end her life early. The newlywed said she didn't want her family to watch as she endured stabbing pain and seizures and while cancer destroyedher mind.Maynard steadfastlyinsisted that she wasn't committing suicide. 'Tve had the medication for weeks," Maynard wrote in a column published by CNN."I am not suicidal. If I were, I would have consumed thatmedication long ago. I do not want to die. But I am dying. And I want to die on my own tenns." Maynard passed away last November surrounded by family. Her celebrity spiked interest in Oregon's death with dignity law. Compassion & Choices Oregon got an avalanche of calls from people in other states with questions about the law. "Brittany Maynard shot the movement forward incredibly quickly," said Matt Whitaker, director of Compassion & Choices Oregon."Her story resonated with a lot of people. She was articulate, brave and people connected with her."

Moss has attended dozens ofdeaths in the severalyears she has volunteered. Two volunteersteam toprepare the lethal medication, which involves taking powder from 90 capsules and mixing it with water. Dying persons must administer to themselves. Notoneofher clients, Moss said, has ever backed away at the last moment. "People drink it down with such determination," she said. One might think this is depressing duty, but Moss said she has witnessed inspiring, joyful and even humorous moments as a Compassion & Choices volunteer. She shared a few stories from clients whose families didn't mind her sharing. One client chose to end her life in her Japanese garden next to the koi pond. "She wanted to take her medication wrapped in a blanket in the beautiful space she had created and with her family around her," Moss said. A client with Lou Gehrig's disease sent invitations to his death and about 30 people attended. Two fiiends played background music while fiiends and family shared memories. The man's ministerserved as emcee. Atthe end, the man requested that everyone lay hands on him until he was gone. "There were lots oflaughs and lots oftears,"M osssaid. Another time, an elderly woman dressed in white linen and a black headband and said she was ready to go. Moss warned her the liquid would be bitter and suggested a chaser, maybe sherry, which she knew the client enjoyed. The woman agreed and accepted both the medication and a small glass of sherry. With her children and grandchildren surrounding her, she said goodbye. "She lay back on the bed," Moss said."Suddenly, she opened her eyes and said, 'May I have a little more sherry?' She was gone a few moments later." Before the lethaldose, m ost people take an earlier dose of an anti-nausea medication. The Seconal
costs about $3,000, which might be the reason Washington physicians prescribe a cheaper mixture of phenobarbital, chloral hydrate and
morphine. Therearestrictparameters foraccessing Oregon'sdeath with dignity law. You must be a state resident, 18 or older, who has a terminal illness that will likely kill you within six months. You must be mentally competent. Two different physicians must grant permission after the patient makes two oral requests and a written request, with at least 15 days between the two oral requests. "The process takes a minimum of 18 days and more typically takes three months," Moss said. Finding a doctor to grant the request is easier in the Willamette Valley than in rural Eastern Oregon. Some physicians have qualms or their employer won't allow it. Compassion & Choices sometimes helps people find clinics or health care systems willing to consider requests. "As of January of 2015, there have been 1,327 prescriptions written,"Whitaker
said."Of those,859 people have taken the prescription." Compassion & Choice volunteers are available in some Eastern Oregon locations. Moss hopes Umatilla Countywill eventuallyembrace the idea. Despite being the wife of a minister, Moss has no reservations about a terminally ill person deciding to hasten their death. "People say, We should let nature take its course,"' Moss said, "but we haven't let nature take its course in decades.Ifyou're partofthe medical system, nature is not taking its course."

The Imbler boys basketball team continued its perfect start to the season with another lockdown defensiveperformance. Trace VanCleave scored 15 points, leading 11 Panthers in scoring, as Imbler handled Monument/ Dayville, 62-37, Wednesday night in the championship game of the La Grande Optimist Christmas Classic. "I think we played hard. We played our ball, which is come out and play good defense, which leads to easy points on the other end," VanCleave said.
Imbler calmly and efficiently distanced itself from Monument/ Dayville, outscoring the Tigers in each quarter with a blend of solid defense and success both in its transition and half-court offense. "I thought defensively we took a pretty big step forward from where we have been in the last couple of games," Imbler head coach Tony Haddock said."I though talk was better, I thought on-ball pressure was better (andl our help-side (defensel was better.

PENDLETON — Joe Engum of Pendleton started meditating because of a personal trauma. And foreightyearsnow,Engum has been sharing that practice with other men experiencing troubles — inmates at state prisons. Engum, 66, called himself a"lay student" of Zen Buddhism, which he grew interested in after years of studying karate. The two disciplines have common"forms," he said, such as bowing to show respect to others and the discipline required to practice both. But in 1993, he said he suffered "personaldevastation."He didn'tgive details, but said he found a rope to grasp in a book on Zen Buddhism. That led to a Zen teacher and the beginning of a now 20-year relationship with the Dharma Rain Zen Center in Portland. Back in 2007, Engum said a priest at the center asked him to go into Two

experience. "It's like learning to read your owner's manual," he said. The basics require sitting in a posture where you can be comfortable, "balanced over your spine" and relaxed. "That's a little difficult at the start," he said."In the beginning, you try, and in the end you just do." Meditation might look like someone sleeping while sitting, but Engum said the goal is to "be awake and aware of all the sensations and thoughts that come and go," but not dwelling on them, dissecting them or judging them. Getting there takes effort. 'You can't taste the food by reading the recipe," he said.'You have to do the practice." The practice also is about living in the now, he said, the thing we often miss out on. "Over time, this has a very transformativeeffect,"he said,such as being able to "actually listen to somebody."

Rivers Correctional Institution, Umatilla, and lead a meditation group. The priest conducted meditation workshops a few times a year at Oregon prisons, Engum said, but she considered that too infrequent. She asked him ifhe would hold lead a monthly group at Two Rivers. ''When I started doing it, I felt like once a month wasn't enough, either," he said."I upped it to once a week." Then he added a group at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution, Pendleton. The Two Rivers group meets Wednesday night, and the Pendleton prison group Thursday night. "I'm authorized to facilitate the group andpractice,"he said."I don'tgo there asa teacher,Ijustgo there sharing the experience of my practice." Zen Buddhism is not a belief system or religion, Engum said, but it requires followers to meditate, which Engum described as a method for selfobservationortounderstand personal

WEEKLY FISHING REPORT
AROUND OREGON
Dogmnsher reflectson career
GRANDE RONDE RIVER • The Grande Ronde had a bump in flows recently that should have brought some fresh steelhead up the river. Anglers are still finding success near Troy, though catch rates have slowed from the early season. Look for steelhead fishing to remain productive into the early spring when flows will make fishing difficult. IMNAHA RIVER • Anglers are still reporting successful days on the Imnaha. The recent bump in flows likely pulled a few fish up from the Snake River, which will be available to anglers. While catch rates have slowed, the Imnaha will likely produce for the rest of the season.
By Mark Morical VVescom News Serwce
• Anthony Lakes has received 40 percent more snow this season
s
f WALLOWA RIVER • Steelhead season is open. However, fishing doesn't normally pick up until later in the year and into the spring. Trout fishing has been good on the river with anglers finding some nice fish. Fall caddis and mayfly hatches have been good and fish seem to be keying in on them. • The Wallowa is also a whitefish factory and can produce some large fish. Whitefish are native to Oregon and are a respected sportfish across the West. Whitefish can be great in the smoker and are a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing. WALLOWA LAKE • Some holdover trout wilI still be available for the hardy trout fishermen willing to brave the cold weather. Kokanee can also be caught by jigging deep during the winter months. The lake does not reliably freeze every year. However, when the lake does freeze, ice fishing can produce good catch rates for trout and kokanee. JOHN DAY RIVER • Steelhead fishing is fair with fish being caught on the lower river below Cottonwood Canyon State Park.

The ski lifts atAnthony Lakes Mountain Resort have been packed as a betterthan-expected season has brought people to the mountain. The resort has received 118 inches of snow this season, about 40 percent more than at this time last year. By RonaldBond,Wescom News Service
recent stretch ofcloser to normal winter pre-cip-itation has had a positive impact on Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort, as the ski resort has already received118inches in the current ski season, 40 percent more than at this time in 2014. eWedefinitely saw one of the biggest openings ever. People were very excited togetoutand slide on snow,"Anthony Lakes Marketing Director Chelsea McLagan said."The holiday break typically draws local family and friends, as well as out-of-area guests." El ¹no patterns swirling in the South Pacific Ocean were giving indications of a dryer, warmer winter in northeast Oregon. But additional systems have moved into the area, bringing rain and snow at levels closer to what is received annually. "It's just a typical winter pattern," said Rachel Cobb, forecaster for the National Weather Service in Pendleton.eWinter is our wet season. It is typical during the winter to get more storms one after the other. It seems like it's a lot to us because we haven't had it in a few years, but it's not too unusual." Cobb said the 1.49 inches La Grande received in November was actually 0.54 less than normal, but that the city is on pace to receive more than
average precipitation in December. The normal amount for the month is 1.66 inches, but La Grande has received 1.58 as of Wednesday. The dryer conditions of the past few years have made what has come down so far in 2015 seem like a lot, when in fact it's what the region should be getting. ''We were in a very prolonged drought," Cobb saidoftherecent years. But whether precipitation rates are starting to trend up or it is the result of previous down years, Anthony Lakes is being impacted for the better. The 118 inches that has come down at theresortasofW ednesday isabout 40percent more snow than it received at this time last winter, when 84.5 inches came down through Dec. 23, 2014. Baker City resident Tim Collins has had a season pass to Anthony Lakes since 1980, and he likes how this season looks so far. "It's nice to have the big early snow," he said. SeeSlopes/Prtge 2C

ALFALFA — The ranch is a flurry of activity, and Rachael Scdoris is at the centerofit. All at once, it seems, she is feeding some 130 dogsa soupy,reddish concoction of chicken and water by the bucket, loading heavy bags of dog food over her shoulder and into a shed, and conversing with her husband as he helps. She is adept at multitasking, which should be no surprise for somebody who has raced four times in the Iditarod — the world's most famous sled dog race— and was considering racing the Iditarod and the Paralympics iin tandem cycling) both in 2016. "I knew that wasn't really practical, and then he came along," Scdoris said."But it's OK, I like him better anyway." "He" is her 13-month-old son, Julien, who is attached to his mom in a backpack, going everywhere she goes all around the ranch, the din ofbarking dogs never ceasing. Julien does not seem to mind. At the moment he is sound asleep. But his mom is busy at the sprawling Alfalfa ranch, some 2 miles from the nearest paved road amid the flat, sagebrushdottedterrain eastofBend. Scdoris' last Iditarod — the annual 1,000-mile race acrossAlaska — was nearly seven years ago. But the dogs are still a crucial part ofher life, as she runs the Oregon Trail of Dreams sled dog tours at Mt. Bachelor ski area with her husband, Nick Salerno. It has been more than 10 years since Scdoris, now 30, made worldwide headlines as the first legally blind musher to attempt the Iditarod. She scratched from that2005 race some 700 milesin dueto illness among her 16-dog team. In 2006she completed therace,placing 57th among 72 finishing teams, and the 10-year anniversary ofher becoming the first legally blind musher to finish the Iditarod is just three months away. She skipped the Iditarod in 2007, and in 2008 she pulled out of the race 941 miles into the route.In her lastIditarod,in 2009, SeeIditarod IPage 2C

A cyclical warming trend of the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast will result in fewer and smaller chinook salmon in the state's rivers, including those of northeast Oregon, for the next couple of years. A study by Oregon State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that chinook salmon eat more food when the ocean temperatures rise, but the fish are less healthy because of a lower quality diet available to them.

Long-term forecasts show that rain and snowfall amount for the rest of winter could potentially let up, with lessthan average precipitationand higher than average temperaturespredicted from January to March. But given the results after a similar outlook a month ago, the winter ahead could be good for Anthony Lakes. 'This early snow is very helpful in generating optimism. But as we all know, weather changes quickly. We have a great base right now that will hold us through the season, no problem," McLagan sald.

SALMON Continued ~om Page1C and Richard D. Brodeurnoted that their findings contradicted earlier conclusions that juvenile salmon tend to be smaller when ocean temperatures are warmer than average because the fish eat less. But Jim Ruzycki, program director for fish research in northeast Oregon, wasn't surprised by the study's results. "In general, that is not brand new news. We've known for a long time that warm ocean conditions are poorforsalmon survival," Ruzycki said."The warm water provides poorer food resources for the fish and they grow more slowly and survive at a lower level." Given that the ocean temperatures have trended higher and will continue to doso for a couple more years, fewer fish migrating from the Pacific Ocean to Oregon's rivers will live as a resultofpredation, and those that do make it back may be smaller. ''When they are first entering the ocean, that is when theyhave a hard time adapting," Ruzycki said. ''When they are small in the ocean, they are basically learning the trade, and that's where there is a higher mortality." Those that do survive while at the ocean have a harder time finding food with the fats they need, including krill, because of the water affecting the food's availability and also affecting the fish themselves. "The warmer water increasestheir metabol ism, so they have to eat more to maintain certain weights," Ruzycki said.
Ruzycki has seen this trend before. A similar warming trend dropped chinook numbers after a strong return in the early 2000s, but the numbers have trended upward in recent years. With the return of the warmer water, he figures the returns to northeast Oregon rivers, including the Snake, Imnaha, Wallowa and Grande Ronde, will drop. "Primarily we feel it by havingfewer fish return,"he
said."Sometimes it's the size of the fish as well. Mostly it's lower numbers." But the downward movement shouldn't last. Ruzycki said the warming trend in the temperatures is cyclical. So while it may be bad for a couple years, the numbers should turn around again. "It could be trending in a bad direc tion for salmon, but it definitely goes in cycles," he said.

Besides the obvious fact that this is the season to throw diets out the window, there could be another reason why we tend to gain weight over the holidays. This time or yearwe tend to tradesleepfor alltheactivitiesthat require our wakefulness. The connection between inadequate sleep and weight gain goes back to research that shows a consistent link between a low amount of sleep and a high amount ofbody weight. And get this, my fellow Americans who sleep less than any other industrialized country: Less than 8 hours aday ofsleep increases your likelihood to beoverweight. Fine and good. But how do we actually accomplish more and better shut-eye? • Feed your sleepiness. Say no thanks to cafeinated beverages iincluding energy drinks) as bedtime draws near, especially if you know you are sensitive to the stimulatingeffectsofthese products. • Entice your sleep inducing hormones. Dim the Christmas lights and record the late-night running of"It's a Wonderful Life" to watch another time. Less exposure to light as the night closes in stimulates the production of melatonin, the sleepy time hormone. •As bedtimeapproaches,forego the spiked eggnog for a nice cup of chamomile tea. Less fat and alcohol are more inviting to a sound night's sleep. • Relax your brain. Get some exercise. Take some deep breaths as you pray and meditate on the season before you. Then put any anxious thoughts on the shelf.

The mere sight of a tasty holiday meal can stimulate the appetite and lead to overindulgence.
ByAllie Shah Star Tnbune (Minneapolis)
The holiday season brings with it heightened emotions and expectations — often accompanied by heightened readings on the scale. Therearemore socialgatherings and specialfoodsthatare usually rich in fat and sugar. There also can be higher stress levels, causing us to overconsume empty calories. And then there are the mind games we play with our waistlines, like the notion that we can take a furlough from good eating during the holidays. "Somehow, eating at a party seems separate from your normal eating life," said Traci Mann, professorofpsychology atthe University of Minnesota and author of"Secrets From the Eating Lab." On average, people gain one pound between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. But those who are already tipping the scale tend togain more — atleast5 pounds, studies show. Those extra pounds often stay there— despitepromises to shed them comeJanuary — adding up afterseveralyearsto"creeping obesity," or long-term weight gam. With the temptation to overindulge beckoning at every turn, many people turn to experts for help, said Darlene Kvist, a Twin Cities nutritionist and director of Nutrional Weight and Wellness. ''We always run our classes right through December, because thereare a lotofpeoplewho ...

once they start eating, they can't stop," she said. No one is going all bah humbug on holiday treats. The focus is onnot overdoing itasopposed to not doing it at all. ''We definitely talk to clients about how to be mindful about what you're eating this time of the year," said Heidi Greenwaldt, a registered dietitian/nutritionist. "It's not that you can't have some Christmas cookies at this time of year. It's just how much and how often." Greenwaldt advises her clients to avoid focusing on foods when celebrating. Instead,she suggests, focus on engaging in conversation with friends and family members. "It's that whole mind-set where we live in a society where we don't want to feel like we're being deprived," she said.'We say,'I'm going to enjoy this,"I have to deal with in-laws' or'I've had a hard day of work.' " Having game a plan beforeyou hit the buffet line or dessert table at a party helps. ''When you go to parties, it's being mindful of what they're serving," she said."Look and see what they have first." That way you can pick and choose how
you spend your calories with an eye toward filling up on lowercalorie foods, like veggies and fruit, while saving room for an indulgent treat. She also tells her clients that their goal should be to maintain their weight through December, not lose weight, which is difficult.
FORGET FASTING
Kvist said one strategy people often use that doesn't work is they don't eat all day and then go toa holiday party and gorge themselves. "Then you'll get to the party and will be famished. Then you'll go for foods thatare high in fat and sugar," she said. Insteadofstarving allday and overloading at night, she recommends eating smaller meals throughout the day and choosing the right foods. Greek yogurt forbreakfast with berries and sliveredalmonds, forexample, and for lunch, a bowl of vegetable LOVE AT FIRSTSIGHT soup."That way, you're eating something instead of skipping The mere sight of a tableful calories," she said. oftastyand colorfulfoodscan Not everyone buys the idea stimulate our appetites and lead that holiday weight gain is to overindulgence. ''What happens is that when permanent. "I dosee thatpeople gain w e see certain foods,ourbrains weight over time but I wouldn't light up just as if we've eaten it," attribute it specifically to this Kvist explained."It lights up the holiday eating business," Mann dopamine area of our brain, that said."If it interrupts the healthy neurotransmitter that's the adpattern and you don't go back dictive neurotransmitter.It's also to the healthy pattern, or if it the one that makes us feel good causesyou to creep to overall once we have eaten somethingworse habits, that could be a usually alcohol or sugar — that problem." has acti vated that centerofour Still, she acknowledged that brain. It makes us want more."
Researchers ID gene in antibiotic-resistant bacteria A new gene that makes bacteria highly resistant to a last-resort class of antibiotics has been identified in China, and doctors are warning of the global implications. "These genes could result in infections that are very difficult to treat in humans," explains Dr. Ritu Banerjee, a Mayo Clinic pediatric infectious diseases expert. The gene,called MCR-1, makes bacteria resistant to a class of antibiotics known as polyrnyiin, which are antibiotics of last resort, used to fight superbugs. The discovery is described as "alarming" by scientists quoted in a Reuters
•000
article. They call for urgent restrictions on the use of polyrnyiin, a class of antibiotics that includes the drug colistin, widely used in livestock farming. "Our findings emphasize the urgent need for coordinated global action," researchers said in a published summary of their

There'salsothe socialpressure that comes with eating in those settings. "At family parties, people push you into eating things," she said. Work parties bring their own pressures. You may put foods on your plate that your co-workers made because you don't want to insult them by not eating their food, Mann said. "Then if you're ata party and you're feeling awkward socially, sometimes the easiest thing to do is to wander over to the buffetor the table with desserts on it, and have some," she added."It might be the safe and easy thing to do when you arrive at a party and don't see anyone you know."
research. Banerjee agrees. "The fact that it has just been found in China doesn't mean that we are safe from that here. International travel and global food supply networks mean that resistant bacteria anywhere in the world can be spread to the United States." An expert at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, quoted on the website STAT, says if the resistance spreads, it will seriously limit the treatment options available to doctors facing antibioticresistant infections. — MayoClinic News Network

MARIC ONYOUR CALENDAR
Open swims at Baker pool BAKER CITY — Sam-0 Swim Center, 580 Baker St. in Baker City, will have special open swim times during the holiday break. The pool will be open from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Dec. 26, then will have two open swim sessions per day Dec. 28-30 — from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will also be a session Jan. 2 from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Cost per session is $3 for those younger than 18.
If you've hunted around for a diet plan in your effort to lose weight, chances are you've come across someone peddlingprotein powder. "Four hours ofhunger control," boast SlimFast bottles. "Our high-protein, low-calorie mix helps you lose weight," says Beachbody's website. "For Increased Hunger Control and Energy" is the message on tubs of Herbalife protein powder. Turns out, that can actually be true. Replacing high-calorie meals with lowercalorie shakes does lead to weight loss, but here's the hitch: It probably won't last. Protein shakes make weight loss relatively easy because they remove the work of planning nutritious meals and controlling portion sizes — that's where the real work comes in, said Alissa Rumsey, a registered dietitian in New York and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Sustainable weight loss rests on changing people's habits and the types of foods they choose to eat, she said. "Are you going to drink these one or two shakes a day for the rest ofyour life?" Rumsey said. Dietitians highlight a number ofholes in the promises made by protein powder manufacturers. Bottom line: Whenever possible, realfoodsarebetter,experts say. Notonlyis iteasy to get all the proteinaperson needs from food,realfoods offer nutrients besides protein and they don't contain the artificial sweeteners, additives and dyes that are common in protein powders. 'There is nothing magical in it that regularfood doesn'thave,"said Brad Haag, a personal trainer and USA Triathlon-certified running coach who founded Bend Fitness.
Workout window? Athletes commonly drink protein shakes following workouts. Many of them subscribe to the idea of a 30-minute to one-hour"workout window," the time period following exercise during which a person must consume food to replenish their depleted muscles and preventtheirgainsfrom being lost.
