As national resources arebeing exhausted, Brett Dunten,Riverbend's fire instructor andcrew boss, says the OregonYouth Authority can offer moreresources for the government'stoolbelt.

PENDLETON — Pend­leton, the small town ineastern Oregon known forits rodeo and whiskey, islooking to Seattle hipstersfor a tourism boost.

The tourism authorityTravel Pendleton last weekrevealed a marketing cam­paign it's calling the HipsterProject. It aims to marketPendleton's western flair toyoung urban dwellers.

Travel Pendleton is askingfor $10,000 from UmatillaCounty's economic develop­ment fund to market the cityin Seattle, track the data andthen target Portland nextyear, the East Oregonianreported. The money wouldbe used to pay for billboardsin select areas of Seattle.

• Oregon Cattlemen'sAssociation joins suitagainst proposed EPA%0TUS' rule

Cattlemen throughout EasternOregon and the rest of the countryhave plenty to be concerned about if aproposed U.S. Environmental Protec­tion Association rule on water manage­ment is adopted.

That's the word from Curtis Martin,a lifelong cattleman and owner of VPRanch in North Powder as well asland in Union County. Martin is waterresources committee chairman of theOregon Cattlemen's Association.

The proposed Clean Water Rulebuilds on the 1972 Clean Water Actand contains a definition of theawatersof the United States" — becomingknown as WOTUS — that definesmore clearly which bodies of waterqualify for Environmental ProtectionAgency protections. The proposed rulehas drawn the ire of powerful agricul­ture and development groups nation­wide, who argue the rule is too broadand could impact how they do business.

OCA has joined a lawsuit filed by Pa­cific Legal Foundation against the EPAand its WOTUS rule. The associationbelieves that the proposed rule's broadlanguage has the potential to deprivelandowners of the right to managewater on their own property.

Martin said he hopes OCA's actionwill cause the agency to think twiceabout what it is trying to regulate.

"This rule will impact our ability tomanage the local watersheds. Eachwatershed is different, and nobodyknows the watershed better than locallandowners," Martin said.

"There is a continual march towarda centralized regulatory system," henoted."An extreme preservationist

hipster campaign is usingthe tagline: "Pendleton ishandmade every day."

"I think that tourism inPendleton and UmatillaCounty is the largest under­utilized economic enginethat we got," said Pat Beard,head of Travel Pendleton.

The town draws plenty oftourists to the annual Pend­leton Round-Up rodeo, andother events bring overnightguests. Most recently, nearly5,800 people went to amotorcycle rally in July. Buttourism advocates say morecan be done to bring moneyto local businesses.

Pendleton targets Seattle-area hipsters

Participants of the weight for distance event take part in the Celtic Festival at the Union County Fairgrounds onSaturday. There are two separate events, one using a light weight throw of 28 pounds for men and 14 pounds forwomen. The heavier weight throw is 56 pounds for men, 42 pounds for masters men and 28 pounds for women.The weights are made of metal and have a handle attached by a chain. The weight is thrown with one hand by anytechnique the thrower chooses. The longest throw wins.

Others echo the sentiment. Doug­las County rancher Nathan Jacksonsaid Oregon ranchers already practiceresponsible water usage.

"Every day, ranchers in Oregon areworking to protect the quality andquantity of water we depend on — andthat everybody in the state dependson," Jackson said, "by being more ef­ficient with our irrigation systems, bymaking sure that we are applying fer­tilizers at appropriate rates, by makingsure that we're managing runoff thatenters the streams and by being goodstewards of the land."

He added,"This rule directly affectsour producers' abilities to be profit­able and sustainable and our job asthe OCA is to protect them, advocatefor them and make sure that they'reable to conduct their business withoutcumbersome regulation."

"EPA is usurping Oregon's right tomanage water in a sustainable wayfor the benefit of the state's citizens,"she said."It is tim e to take the federalgovernment to task for oversteppingtheir authority."

Twenty-seven states already havesuits pending against the WOTUS rule,according to OCA Executive DirectorJerome Rosa. He said he is optimis­tic that the agency will be forced toreconsider.

"The WOTUS rule in its currentstate should be withdrawn due to lackof quality assessment and biased rule­making process," he said.

awe hope that the EPA will rescindthe rule and rewrite it with inputfrom the industry and all stakeholdergroups," said Jackson, the DouglasCounty rancher."Clarification from theexisting rule is definitely needed. Thisnew rule doesn't clarify anything."

LG School Board tomeet Wednesday

ForThe ObserverBy Tiish Yerges

ELGIN — Grande Ronde Hospital offi­cials announced Saturday that a modularbuilding will go up while the new Elginhealth clinic is under construction.

At an interactive public meeting heldat the Elgin Depot, consulting firmWestby Associates Inc., presented theresults of a feasibility study about theproposed clinic on behalf of the ElginHealth District.

Presenter Michael Wilson of WestbyAssociates said that the 72 interviewsthat were conducted in the study weredesigned to gather feedback on ElginHealth District's mission vision, pri­orities and funding gaps. The feedbackincluded potential financial support tobuild a new health clinic in Elgin.

During the interviewing, Wilson iden­tified four issues that needed address­ing. The first one was about the relation­ship of the Grande Ronde Hospital andthe Elgin Health District.

Grande Ronde Hospital President andCEO Jim Mattes offered a clarification.

''We're really excited to be back in thecommunity, excited to be owning andoperating the clinic iservicesl, but notowning the building," Mattes said.'We'renot interested in owning the building orany other real estate for that matter. Ourgoal here is to provide the best possibleservices and to expand and bring servicesinto the community based on need. We'vealready recruited another provider, andshe11 be here in October for some orienta­tion. But by the first of the year, I thinkwe11 be able to alleviate some of thebacklog with appointments."

Mattes explained that until the newclinic buildingis opened, more than theexisting buildingis needed in the interim.

'The other issue that is really criticalfor your community is that we're kindof stuck where we are with that exist­ing building," Mattes said.'You may ormay not know that construction won'tstart on your new clinic until summer of2016. If that takes a year ito construct),you're looking at two years for that newclinic to be opened and for services to beavailable to the community. That's reallynot very acceptable to the community tobe limited by or bound by that existing

setting. The hospital, too, doesn't wantto step in as the new owner of clinic ser­vices and be hamstrung by the inabilityto deliver services that are needed."

Consequently, Mattes said the hos­pital will lease and bring in a modularclinic, with ADA access, for medicalhealth care during this interim period.W.C. Construction has offered theiradjacent lot rent free as the temporarysite for the modular clinic. Meanwhile,dentist Eli Mayes will expand into thealmost 2,000 square feet in the DivisionStreet clinic building. It's a temporaryarrangement for both the medical anddental services until the new 8,000square foot building is open.

The Cityof Elgin has become a thirdpartner with Grande Ronde Hospital andWC. Constructionin supporting the ElginHealth District and the new dinic building.

"The city has offered the use of ourPublic Works to help install all thosewater and sewer services both for thetemporary clinic and the new building,"said Elgin Mayor Allan DufFy.sWe con­tinue to work on grants on our own end.Many grants can be made to the citythat otherwise can't be made to the clin­ic. The new clinic is going to be a hugeasset for the city of Elgin. The councilhas unanimously supported the healthclinic by resolution. W e're prepared to dowhatever we need to do on behalf of thehealth district to support them through

foundation work or through legislativework to make sure the clinic is going tobe a reality and to stay on track. We feelit's important to serve the citizens of thecommunity, and with the health clinic, abig void will be filled."

Elgin Health District Board memberJared Rogers said state funding will notbereceived until next spring, which meansdesign workmustwait until theyhavem oneyin hand to pay for it. However,Grande Ronde Hospital offeml to shave sixto nine months off that schedule bydonat­ing $50,000 to EHD and also giving them a$50,000interest-free loan for the architectand design work to begin now.

As the major tenant of EHD's newclinic building, Grande Ronde Hospitalwill provide new equipment and assist inbringing pharmaceutical services, mentalhealth care and X-ray to Elgin. The hos­pital will also recruit and hire health careproviders and supply backup providersfor the clinic when needed.

Commenting on the progression of theElgin Health District campaign, Rep.Greg Barreto said he sees the project as"extremely positive."

"Everything has been positive. I'vebeen impressed," he said."This beingmy first taste of this, coming into it, youcan't help but get excited for the com­munity and just for the project itself andwhat it's going to mean for the commu­nity. It's a great thing all around."

If anyone held questions regarding the men andwomen who make up the current generation ofindivid­uals entrusted with the protection of the nation thosedoubts certainly evaporated this past weekend. The actthat occurred to illustrate dearly that our young peopletasked with standing on the walls of Democracy did notoccur inAmerica but instead in France, on a train.

By now most are most likely familiar with thestory of our three young Americans — including twomembers of the Armed Forces — who stepped in andstopped a gunman on a train in Belgium.

The 26-year-old gunman was armed with an auto­matic rifle. Three Americans — U.S. Airman SpencerStone along with Oregon Army National GuardsmanAlek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, a civilian­stepped up and subdued the gunman and then ad­

ministered first aid to at least one injured passenger.What these three young men did goes beyond

the simple notion of a good deed. What their effortssymbolize is that sometimes the courage to act is themost valuable asset of all.

That two of these young men are serving membersof the Armed Forces should also show that this new­est generation to take up the mantle of service are asworthy as those who gave so much on distant battle­fields of our collective past. In short, perhaps, everygeneration that decides to give back to the nation andstate is a"greatest generation."

That one of the members who stepped up andhelped subdue the gunman is a member of the Or­egon Army National Guard probably isn't a surprise

to most Eastern Oregon readers but may be some­thing of a notable fact to others. In places like East­ern Oregon, where its Guard unit is well-known andan organization that endured two combat tours ofduty in Iraq, the fact that an Army Guardsman actedin such a selfless way is almost what is expected.

The local Guard unit, the 3rd Battalion, 116thCavalry Regiment, is now doing high-intensitytraining exercises in the Mojave Desert at the U.S.Army's National Training Center. Skarlatos' ac­

tions are just one more reminder, one more symbolof the kind of individual our Army National Guard

produces and cultivates. In short, the young menand women who are members of the military andthe Guard are for the most part the absolute best wecan produce. As such they accomplish diKcult tasksand do extraordinary deeds such as subdue gunmenon crowded trains. Most of what they do on a regu­lar basis — such as training for three weeks on theMojave Desert — tends to be unnoticed. Events suchas the commuter train in Belgium, rightfully, securethe limelight. Yet one must remember that men andwomen of our armed forces, including the Guard,achieve diKcult goals and overcome challenges on aregular basis that are never publicized.

The actions by the three young Americans in Eu­rope on a train should be, and are, shining examplesof courage, determination and grit, and they deserveevery single bit of praise thrown their direction.

Rosenbaum: Citizens need tothink about term limits

To the Editor:I'm glad to see that Union County

citizens together with CommissionerJack Howard have got the term-limitball rolling.

Last election time with Gov. JohnKitzhaber's scandal mushrooming andthe Shelter From the Storm fiasco justbeginning to fade in the rearview, Isuggested in a letter to the editor thatwe should limit the term in office for thegovernor and county commissioners.

A governor should be limited byamendment to Oregon's Constitutionto two terms in total and enjoined fromrunning again for the office even thoughmore than one cycle has intervenedbetween elections. At the time, I notedthe common phrase "power corruptsand absolute power corrupts absolutely."This was borne out as the governor'stroubles expanded. I should admithere that I voted for John Kitzhaber,reluctantly, because the other candidatewas not suitable. I would like to see ourlegislators present a term-limit amend­ment in the next session and then referit to the people.I don't believe at the county level cor­

ruption is the issue. The problem is thatwith extended terms commissioners gettoo comfortable in their jobs and becomemore like employees than electedofficials, drawing big salaries — com­pared to other local jobs. They establishpersonal power fiefdoms and can beguilty — such as the shelter issue andthe Wallowa Union Railroad Authoritymanagement agreement — of sloppi­ness in consideration of alternatives andaccounting.

So I would like to see the followingon the ballot: individuals running forcommissioner can serve two terms only,whether they be consecutive or not. Ifan incumbent has been in office for twoterms or more, when the ballot measuretakes effect, they may run for office forone additional term only. If an incum­bent has been in office for one term,when the ballot measure takes effect,they may run for an additional twoterms only.

I hope Union County citizens willthink about these issues, dialogue with

Moore: Armed citizens doesn'tmake country 'exceptional'

I am writing to comment on therecent letter regarding gun deaths beinga"small price to pay to be exceptional."I am offended by the presumption thatAmerica is any more exceptional thanany other country.

To the Editor:

I was born in England and happenedto be raised thinking that the BritishEmpire was rather exceptional. How­ever, along with my fellow countrymen, Inever believed that in order to preservethis uniqueness, everyone should beallowed to own a gun.

I love this country as much as I domy native England, but do not agreewith the view that in order to preserveit, every person should have the right toown a gun as is preached by the NRA.England has managed to survive andpreserve its uniqueness without armingits citizenry.

As for the inevitable and unfortunateshootings by criminals and madmen, Ibelieve it is a price far too high to payand the only point of agreement I havewith the writer who just happens to bemy husband, is that"non-gun ownersjust do not understand."

Swart: Letter puts light ongun violence problem

Thank you for printing the letter fromFred Moore about guns and freedom.

As I first read it, I thought that this isreally a good idea. It shows everyone theirresponsible, insensitive, non-thinkingand crass mentality of the NationalRifle Association.

I couldn't imagine that anyone wouldactually believe that freedom is tied tohaving an armed populace and that"afew hundred, or thousand, people beingkilled with firearms is just the pricewe have to pay to be the exceptionalcountry we are."

Now that I re-read the letter again,I can see that I missed the tongue-in­cheek satire Mr. Moore is using, andI am glad that he doesn't really meanwhat he is saying.

Still, I am grateful to him for writ­ing the letter and to The Observer forprinting it.

It really puts a light on the gunviolence problem in our country and thehorrible mentality that causes it.

EAGLE COMPLEX FIRES

Smoke from the Eagle Complex fires did not lift as muchas expected Sunday, preventing the Eagle Complexblazes from growing significantly.

Progress made inbattle againstEagle Complex

A firefighter douses hot spots along the front lines of the Grizzly Bear Complex fires nearTroy. Five private homesand 28 outbuildings have been lost as the flames spread from the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness to cover 61,650acres. Areas reaching as far north as Asotin, Washington, are under warning to be ready to evacuate.

By Dick Mason

Smoke aided firefight­ers Sunday in their battleagainst the Eagle Complexfires, burning 10 miles east ofMedical Springs.

Smoke from the fires didnot lift as much as expectedSunday, preventing the EagleComplex blazes from grow­ing significantly.

"Because of the weatherconditions, there was poten­tial for large fire growth, butthe smoke didn't lift as muchas expected. This moderatedfire behavior," said ChrisBarth, a public informationofficer for the Eagle Complexfires.

Barth explained that thesmoke helped shade the fires,reducing their activity. Hadthe smoke lifted, Barth said,the fires might have grownsignificantly because oflowhumidity, warm tempera­tures and wind.The Eagle Complex fires

now total 8,129 acres, basedon an aerial infrared read­ing taken Sunday night.This is up 1,589 acres fromFriday night, the last timebefore Sunday that an aerialinfrared reading was taken.

YOUTH

The ObserverThe fires are just outside thesoutheast border of UnionCounty.The Eagle Complex fires

are now 5 percent contained,up from 0 percent at the endof Thursday. Barth believesthe containment will soonincrease because of the workfirefighters have been doingalong Forest Service Road77. This work is securing thesouthern edge of the EagleComplex fires. Crews areputting out hot spots, remov­ing fuels, digging trenchesat some sites and more.Trenches are being dug atsites where it appears thatburning items could roll downa slope and cross the road.Several helicopters were

used to drop water on theblazes Sunday, but no fixedwing aircraft were used.

A Level 3 evacuationnotice was issued a week agofor people living in structuresin the East Eagle Creek area.Everyone receiving a Level3 notice had to evacuate im­mediately.

To date, one structure, lo­cated in the East Eagle Creekarea, has been consumed bythe Eagle Complex fires, ac­cording to fire officials.

upbeat Sunday during a communitymeeting in Joseph, which was attendedby more than 100 residents.

"It went better iSundayl than we asfirefighters had a right to expect," BillMitchell, U.S. Forest Service operationschief, said.

Deputies from the Wallowa CountySherifFs Office spent Sunday warningresidents to be prepared to evacuatealong Upper Hurricane Creek Roadand in an arc along Hurricane CreekRoad between Pine Tree and Bower­man roads. Smoky haze obscured viewsof the Wallowa Mountains Sundaythroughout the upper Wallowa Valley.

Firefighters from Joseph Fire andRescue are deploying water tanks,hoses and pumps along Upper Hur­ricane Creek to protect residences incase the fire moves north, Fire ChiefJeffrey Wecks told residents during theSunday community meeting.

District Ranger Kris Stein of the U.S.Forest Service said fire investigatorsare trying to determine the cause of theFalls Creek Fire, which was reportedby hikers Saturday morning. Resourcesthroughout the west are stretched sothin that fewer than 50 firefighterswere on the scene.

About 200 Oregon National Guardtroops arrived in Baker City Sunday,Stein noted, which might free firefight­ers from other blazes for duty in Joseph.A command post was established at theJoseph Rodeo Grounds with IncidentCommander Francis Tyler in charge.

NORMAL "This is kind of the newnormal," Tidwell said."Itseems like almost every yearwe get to this point and it'sreally tight for resources fora few weeks."

With civilian fire crewsm axed out in Oregon fight­ing 11 major blazes, Gov.Kate Brown is deployingOregon National Guardtroops to help.

They were to begin train­ing last week in Salem forassignment to fire lines latethis week.

"They're there to assist inany way and they11 be fullytrained," said Major StevenBomar, a spokesman for theOregon National Guard.

The Canyon CreekComplex Fire was declaredthe nation's top priority forresources last week, but hassince gone down to 10th.The National InteragencyFire Center still ranks theOkanogan Complex andNorth Star fires in Washing­ton as priorities one and two,respectively.

Dunten, who has beeninvolved with OYA and theirfirefighting training from thevery beginning — four yearsago — sees the work theyouth are doing as produc­tive to both the youth, asthey will have the means to acareer, and to society as theycontinue to fight fire.

i.GFQ gregaring for comgetitioninstairclimiI challenge• Six local firefighters gearing up to take part in Climb for aCure at the U.S. Bancorp Tower at the end of September

The Observer

the team continues to create fundraisers.

ByAlyssa Sutton

The La Grande Fire Department is sendingsix firefighters — Capt. Stanley Grove andCapt. Tyson Botts and firefighters Tracy Har­ris, Merle Laci, Dusty Alam and Nick Rilatt— to compete in the seventh annual PortlandFirefighter Stairclimb Challenge, Climb for aCure, at the U.S. Bancorp Tower on Sept. 27.

To compete at their first-ever stairclimb,each member of the voluntary six-memberteam has to raise $100, which will be donatedto the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

ewe're trying to go way beyond that," Rilattsaid of the $100 entrance fee.

With $455 of the mandatory $600 raised,

ewe've talked about raflles, and thereshould be a lot coming up in the next coupleof weeks," Rilatt said.

The firefighters agreed that training isforefront in their minds.

The team will have to climb up 40 floors­800 steps — in full gear, on one bottle of air.

ewe just got done running the iElkhornlrelay and we have a stair machine in our fit­ness room at the fire station that I think a lotof us have utilized quite a bit," Rilatt said.

Laci credits Rilatt for getting the fire de­partment involved in the Portland stairclimb.

"The last two years he's bugged me aboutit, and I put him offu Laci said."For me it'sgetting back into shape and raising money forcystic fibrosis."

For Harris it's a little more personal."It's the physical challenge of doing the

stairs, and I have a fiiend whose daughterhas cystic fibrosis," Harris said.

All six of the members volunteered to trainand compete in the stairclimb. Rilatt said sixmembers is about the maximum number offirefighters they felt comfortable taking awayfrom the station.

"If you think about it, that's a whole shift,"he said."I'm sure there were other guys thatwanted to do it. Consequently, you probablywon't see any of the same faces next time."

Rilatt is already looking toward the pos­sibility of a second climb in the winter,scheduled to take place in Seattle,Washington.

According to Laci, the LGFD team first con­sidered sponsoring an individual with cysticfibrosis.

"The cystic fibrosis foundation has threedifferent tiers. They help out with research,

ELGIN — David and TeriFuhrman, owners of Cowboy andAngel's Place, are relocating theirrestaurant business to its new locationat 60 S. Eighth Ave. and will be openfor business there on Sept. 1.

The property is being sold to theFuhrmans by current owners Lauraand Dick Parsons, who are remodel­ing it for restaurant use prior to sale.The Parsons have been an invaluablehelp to the Fuhrmans, "otherwise wewouldn't have been able to purchase itand move," Teri Fuhrman said.

Since it first opened in March oflast year, Cowboy & Angel's Place hasgrown steadily in popularity. Theystarted with only breakfast and lunchmeals, and by December were offeringdinners too. Today the restaurant isoperated by an additional four tal­ented employees who put out amazingmeals.

"I haven't eaten anything here thatwasn't delicious, and I've tried allthree meals," said Terri McDowell, aregular customer from Elgin.

In fact, according to Teri Fuhrman,she's so busy that customers alreadyseated have often invited waitingcustomers to join their tables so theycould eat too. In excess of that, she'sactually had to turn others awayregrettably.

''We have lots of regulars like the la­dies' coffee club, the Chamber of Com­merce members and the mens' churchgroups," Fuhrman said.'We've alsohad customers from Pendleton, WallaWalla iWashingtonl, Wallowa, BakerCity, Union, Cove and even some fromCanada. The community of Elgin has

This is a good, clear postcard picture of a "Modern Auto Court," or motel as we know them today. This one was located in Union. Thestamp box on the back of the postcard indicates the picture was taken anywhere from 1927 to 1940. Looking at the cars, the best guessis that it would been taken closer to 1940 than 1927. This is one of the many thousands of postcard pictures that were taken and printedwithout the name of the photographer.

Their hospitality goes beyond feed­ing people, though. The Fuhrmansalso think about pet dogs walking bytheir place, and they set out a dish offresh water outside the restaurantevery morning.

"One time we had a guy with aihungryl turtle come in. He asked usfor a piece of lettuce for his turtle, sowe gave him the lettuce," Fuhrmansaid.

But besides their warm hospitality,the real draw at Cowboy and Angel'sPlace is their homemade food andfriendly service.

''We serve homemade rolls, soups,cooked meals, sandwiches andsalads," Fuhrman said.'We makeour own dinner and lunch specials,

here there is smokethere is fire, and on

Aug. 2, that smoke led hun­dreds of firefighters to whatbecame one of the largestforest fires Elgin and UnionCounty have experienced­the Phillips Creek Fire.

The fire, which burnedjust seven short miles fromElgin, put residents and theentire community on alert,many fearing that just onesingle ember could ignitemore damage. Luckily, thehundreds of men and womenfirefighters were able to fightand fully contain the firewithout further damage toany structures.

Since the Aug. 2 fire, sev­eral other brutal fires nearbyhave been raging and firecrews have once again beenrelocated back to the ElginStampede grounds to assistin the Grizzly Bear ComplexFire near Troy. These firesare costing several milliondollars to fight while at thesame time, contributinglocally and having a bitter­sweet economic impact inour community.

The Elgin Chamber ofCommerce, along with sev­eral other local organizationsand community members,once again rolled out thehospitality wagon filled withsupport and appreciation,and demonstrated theirmotto to all the firefightersand crew — "Small town,BIG hospitality" — for whichthe men and women weretruly grateful.

This in turn generated anupswing on the economicsof the community; it also lefta positive lasting impact forgenerations to come.

The motto came fromthe 2008 and 2010 CycleOregon event, when Elginwas tapped to be the hostcity. Thousands of cyclistsfrom all over the country andworld rolled in and out of El­gin, soaking in the generos­ity the community demon­strated; in turn it generatedan economic boom.

Not only did it spawnthe boom, it set a lastingfavorable precedence. Theeconomic impact from thecommunity kindness wasimmense not only in dollars,but lifelong relationshipsthat continue to strengthenour local profitabihty.

Studies show that a com­munity that demonstratesfriendliness, gratefulness,and thankfulness, reaps therewards.

Bolt edges Gatlin by slimmest of margins in 100TUESDAY• College women's

soccer: EasternOregon Universityat NorthwestChristian University,Eugene, 1 p.m.

The Associated Press

AT A GLANCE

Smoke cancelsEastern match

The women's soc­cer match betweenthe University of Brit­ish Columbia-Okan­agan and EasternOregon UniversitySunday was cancelleddue to poor air quality.No makeup dateswere announced.

BEIJING — A heart-stopper. Alean at the line. A next-to-nothingmargin over a more-than-game chal­lenger.

Sure, for Usain Bolt, the winningresult, the bow-and-arrow victorycelebration and even the setting mayhave been the same as 2008. But theshow he put on Sunday in a .01-sec­ond victory over Justin Gatlin atthe Bird's Nest was something verydifferent.Bolt crossed the line in 9.79 sec­

onds — pedestrian by his standards.

Yet it very well may have been hisgreatest race ever.

"My coach said, You'll have to run100 meters if you're going to win therace,"' Bolt said after capturing hisrecord ninth career gold medal atworld championships."So I ran 100meters."

The 29-year-old Jamaican came inhurting and anything but race ready— a far cry from seven years ago,when he put his stamp on the BeijingOlympics in the same stadium byslowing down and bringing his handsout to his side to start the celebration

with 20 meters left. Even with that,he crossed the line in a then-world­record time of 9.69 seconds.

By now, that's ancient history, andthe proof was in the results fromthe last two years. Gatlin has beendominating the sprint game, whileBolt has spent more time rehabbingthan racing.

The problems carried right intoSunday. Bolt's semifinal run — nor­mally a stress-fiee jog — turneddicey when he stumbled on his fifthstep out of the starting block. He wasin sixth place more than halfway

through and had to push to beat outTrayvon Bromell.

In the next semifinal race, Gatlinbreezed, just as he had the nightbefore in the heats. Set against eachother, those performances turnedGatlin into the betting favorite, andwho could argue?

And so, the stakes were set: Theworld-record holder and track'shappy warrior against a twice-con­victed doper, who also won the 100at the 2004 Olympics and the worldchampionships in 2005.

By Josh Benham

Kaki McLean-Morehead wondered ifheroffense was struggling during the initial prac­tices of the season. As it turns out, her defenseis just that tough, which is a great sign at thebeginning of the season.

No. 6 Eastern Oregon University faced littleresistance during its season-opening EOU In­vitational, capping off a perfect weekend witha 25-22, 25-12, 29-27, sweep of the Universityof Montana-Western Saturday at QuinnColiseum.

Southern Idaho, the Mountaineers swept theirfirst match of the season, defeating MontanaState University-Northern 25-21, 25-21, 25-18,Friday night.

"The whole week in practice I'm thinking,'Man, our defense looks good. Are we just notconverting on offense?" Eastern head coachKaki McLean-Morehead said."But actually,our defense is just pretty good."

Eastern held Western to a team attack per­centage of just.109, while limiting Northernhad a .073 percentage. The Mounties, mean­while, had attack percentages of.265 iWest­ernl and .218 iNorthernl.

Amanda Miller notched a career-high 16 killsto pace Eastern. Middle hitter KasaundraTuma added 10 kills, and middle hitter EmilyNay had six kills and five blocks as 10 differ­ent Mounties were able to record kills.

"It's early. I like to see what people do indifferent situations, and try to get as manypeople in," McLean-Morehead said."Becausewhen conference starts, that may not be thecase all of the time, depending on the opponentthatwe play. So I tryto mixitin as much aspossible."

Defensive specialists Tylo Colflesh and PiperCantrell had team-high totals in digs with 12and nine, respectively. Both players also filledthe libero position during the weekend."I switched liberos almost every day, because

Tackling the gunmanAlek Skarlatos saw the

man pull the trigger as Spen­cer rushed at him, the fathersaid, but it didn't fire.

'They knew one of themcould have gotten shot, butthey knew if they didn't actthey would have been deadalong with a lot of otherpeople," Emanuel Skarlatossaid from his Roseburg home.

Stone, 22, of Carmichael,California, tackled thegunman — identified asa 26-year-old Moroccannational — as Alek Skarlatoswrestled the rifle away. Thegunman slashed Stone onthe head and neck with whatappeared to be a box cutteras they struggled in the nar­row train aisle.

and being out on the road, this might b a good fit for

The Associated PressBy Gosia Wozniacka

PORTLAND — A Native American tribeis taking a 22-foot totem pole from Canadathrough the Pacific Northwest to Montana inopposition of proposed coal export terminals.

A team from the Lummi Nation, fromWashington's Puget Sound, started the jour­ney on Friday. The pole will travel more than1,300 miles by truck, from Vancouver, BritishColumbia, to Missoula, with multiple stops inWashington and Oregon.

Its journey includes blessing ceremonies ateach of the proposed coal ports and in tribalcommunities and houses of worship along theoil train route.

The totem pole is destined for Montana'sOtter Creek Valley, the location of a proposedcoal mining expansion that would serve thePacific Northwest terminals.

The Lummi Nation and other tribes areagainst building coal-export termiMs at CherryPoint near Bellingham, in lungview, and at thePort of Morrow on the Columbia River. CherryPoint encompasses the Lummi Nation's ances­

tral sites and traditional fishing grounds.The projects would export millions of tons

of coal annually to Asia. The tribes say theterminals would disrupt treaty-protectedfishing rights, contaminate air and water, andharm sacred sites.

The totem pole was created by the House ofTears Carvers at the Lummi Nation. It tookfour months for a team to create it, said thetribe's master carver Jewell James.

Traditionally, totem poles use powerful sym­bols to depict visions, pass on tribal mythologyor mark important tribal or family events,Jewell said. They're used at ceremonies, tohonor the deceased, or to record stories.

But over the past years, the tribe has putthem to a novel use; tribal members havetaken the totem poles off the reservation toareas struck by disaster or facing a crisis, assymbols of strength and wisdom, Jewell said.

The Lummi have delivered totem poles toNew York, Pennsylvania and Washington,D.C., after the 911 terrorist attacks. Last year,the tribe took a totem pole to Sioux territoryinNorthern Alberta to oppose tar sand mining.

hollowed-out log as it was directedacross the sloping hillside and down tothe roadway.

My horse Cricket and my cousinM arilyn's horse Goldie dropped theirheads to put their noses into thetrough, snorting air bubbles as they(hd so.

Cricket shuddered a pesky flyfrom her flanks and flicked her tail todiscourage its annoyance as I leanedforward in my saddle to pat her neck inencouragement.

My cousin and I were in our teensand we had been out riding across thefields up by Morgan Lake where herfather had recently pitched the cut anddried hay onto the workhorse-drawnwagon for transport to their big redbarn.It had been good to let our m ares

stretch their legs across the acres ofpreviously barred land while the graingrew tall before threshing time. Nowwe had been free to ride and appreci­ate the wide barren vista of their land,aware of the beauty of where we wereprivileged to live.

Not wanting our horses to drawin too much water at once after theirexcursion, we drew the reins up tautacross their necks to bring up theirresistive heads.

steakhouse steaks apply tothose destined for a salad: Takethe chill off the steak beforecooking, season it highly anduse a properly heated (and hot)grill. Let it rest after cooking for5 minutes, so the juices settle.Use a super-sharp thin bladedknife to slice the meat againstthe grain for maximum eatingpleasure.As for the potatoes, I like the

Anew wayto display

During our travels to Jackson Hole,Wyoming, the first part of the monthsome of my hanging flowers didn't faretoo well in the 100-plus temperatures,despite good care by Kate.

I don't need much incentive to popinto one of the nurseries so foundmyself in EONL (Eastern OregonNursery and Landscaping at IslandCity, which is closest, looking at thehanging plants they still had.

Yes, I bought some, because afterall they are on sale now. Anyway myeyes caught on a beautiful mass ofplants and blooms at the end of a rowof plants, that I couldn't quite figureout. Edna Irene who was helping withmy purchases explained that it was adresser planted with all sorts of plants.

She said she planted it about fourmonths ago. Ohhh, how I would loveto have that in front of my bay windowout front. I have been going throughour house eyeing our dressers, butbest give up the idea of using any ofthem.At least two of the oak ones are older

than I am so they must be genuine an­tiques by now. Also my husband mightnotice one missing if he came hometo a pile ofhis things on the bedroomfloor.

I can't tell you exactly how EdnaIrene planted it, so just go over toEONL and enjoy how beautiful it is.She is there every day and would behappy to explain the process to you.

By the way, if my husband asks, Ionly bought ONE new hanging plant!

Even as I attempt to eat lessred meat, I still crave steak.

During the summer months,its virtues suit our lifestyles.Steak cooks quickly, is easy totransport to a picnic and tastesgreat hot, warm and chilled.

Leftovers make indulgentsandwiches. Grilled steak, piledon garden-crisp greens toppedwith a freshly made dressing,ranks as a favorite dinner on awarm evening.

Combining grilled steak withpotatoes reminds us of cozyMidwestern steakhouse dinners.This season we're enjoying twodelicious steak salads: The firstpairs thinly sliced steak withcrispy grilled russet potatoesand a spicy ranch-style dress­ing; the second employs grill­steamed little golden potatoeswith a fresh herb vinaigrette.

Boneless New York stripmakes great salad steakbecause of its tenderness anduniform thickness. After cook­ing, it slices thin with littleeffort. Meatier-tasting sirlointip, petite-cut top sirloin andflank steak prove good choiceswhen serving the steak cold.Take care when cooking, asthese steaks tend to be leaner;don't cook them past medium­rare, or thegl be dry and tough.W henever possible, select choicegrade steaks with about V4-inchof fat around the edges to keepthings moist during cooking; itcan be trimmed before adding tothe salad.

The same tricks for grilling

a lighter dressing such as thefresh herb vinaigrette. Thissummer, I'm enjoying livingcress from Living Water Farms;it is sold with the roots stillattached and tastes delicateand sweet. Keep all cress perkyby wrapping it in damp papertoweling and storing in a plasticbag in the refrigerator.

The goodness about tossingsliced steak in a salad withpotatoes: You'll eat less steak.One 8-ounce steak will maketwo salads.

Shrimp is terrific grilled asa main dish or an appetizer.The challenge with shrimp onthe grill is it's fragile and cooksquickly.

If you overcook shrimp, itbecomes tough and chewy. Thekey is marinating or brining theshrimp and using no more thana medium heat.

You can also brush the shrimpwith a sauce while they are onthe grill to keep them from dry­ing out.

And, once you put them on thegrill, don't even think of walking

away. Shrimp cooks quickly andyou need to pay attention.

Whenever I cook shrimp (grill,roast, or steam), I brine themfirst, which plumps them upand keeps them moist duringcooking.

For about 2 pounds of shrimp,in a large pot, dissolve '/2 cup ofkosher salt and '/2 cup of sugar in1 gallon of water. Add the shrimpand refrigerate. Let them soakP/2 to 2 hours, no longer or yourisk them becoming too salty.Remove them from the brine andgive them a quick rinse undercold water. This removes anypossible surface salt.

Shrimp on the barbie: Tricky, but worth itDetroit Free Press

The best way to grill shrimpis to thread them on two woodenskewers or position two shrimptogether.

Using the two skewers helpsyou turn them all at once andcook evenly.

If grilling shrimp withoutskewers, leave on the shells toprotect them on the grill butdevein them.

To devein shrimp, cut a sliton the backside to the tail withsmall scissors and remove thevein. That slit also makes iteasier to peel them once they aredone.

Serve these shrimp as an ap­

petizer or main dish, served overa mixed greens salad or withgrilled vegetables.

so that they are even with theshrimp. If the pieces are too big,the shrimp won't touch the grill

Coleslawwithoutcaddaoe

By Judy HevrdejsChicago Tubune

Bored with the usualslaws? The mayo-dousednumber at the deli or youraunt's vinegared version?Don't fret. W e've dug up

recipes that get to the rootof your problem — which isthat cabbage is so 245 yearsago. The koolsla recipes theDutch brought to this coun­try circa 1770 used cabbage.And that's been pretty muchthe base for coleslaws eversince.

But chefs and culinarypros like to tinker with clas­sic recipes, so they're usingbeets, kohlrabi, carrots,fennel, celery root. All aresturdy, colorful, flavorful. Allhave slaw potential.

The fennel slaw servedwith a roasted fish sandwichat Found Kitchen and SocialHouse in Evanston, Illinois,began with a rethinking ofclassic coleslaw, explainedNicole Pederson, the restau­rant's executive chef andpartner.

aWe call it a slaw be­cause it's raw vegetables allsliced very thinly," she said.Shaved fennel is mixed withribbons shaved from differ­ent colors of baby carrots. Abit of napa cabbage is addedalong with pickled onions,and it's finished with lemonjuice and olive oil.

What sets these newslaws apart from their saladsiblings is the shredded orthinly sliced ingredients,said cookbook author RickRodgers, whose recent"TheBig Book of Sides" (Ballan­tine Books), features severalslaw recipes, including onethat teams kohlrabi withalmonds and apples.

He suggests cuttingraw vegetables '/4-inch orsometimes an eighth-of-an­inch thick."Slices have to besmall enough to be tender

without cooking."That thin slicing and

crunch from raw vegetablesmake these updated slawsa perfect accompanimentto so many dishes, sum­mer's grilled meats and fishamong them. It's a good wayto add a fun texture to ameal, said Pederson Whenthey're shredded, they seemso much lighter."

What about dressings?Well, there are no rules."Except for the fact you haveto kind of bow to regionalor family preferences," saidRodgers, citing a dinercoleslaw popular in NewJersey that marinates allthe vegetables in a sweetand sour vinaigrette. "Bysweet, I mean they're almostpickled."

RAW BEET SLAWWITH FENNEL,TART APPLEAND PARSLEYPrep: 25 minutesMakes: 4 servings

Diane Morgan, author of"Roots," (Chronicle Books)suggests serving this at a bar­becue, at brunch with curedsalmon or alongside countrypate. Use a mandoline or asharp chef's knife to cut beetsinto matchsticks. Use dispos­able surgical gloves, or you'llend up with red hands.3 tablespoons extra­

virgin olive oil1 tablespoon each: fresh

lemon juice, freshlygrated orange zest

/2 teaspoon each: honey,fine sea salt

1/8 teaspoon freshlyground pepper

1 medium red beet,3 to5 ounces, peeled, cutinto matchsticks

/2 fennel bulb, trimmed,halved lengthwise, cored,cut into matchsticks

/2 medium crisp tart applesuch as Granny Smith,cored, cut into matchsticks

/2 cup firmly packed choppedfresh flat-leaf parsley

In a small bowl, whisktogether oil, lemon juice,orange zest, honey, salt andpepper. In a medium bowl,toss together beet, fen­nel, apple and parsley. Adddressing. Mix gently to coatingredients evenly. Serveimmediately, or cover and re­frigerate until ready to serve.Remove from refrigerator 30minutes before serving. Slawcan be made up to 8 hours inadvance. Presentation note: Ifyou don't serve immediatelyand want to prevent the beetsfrom tinting the fennel, keepbeets separate (dressed withhalf the dressing) and mix inright before serving.

Iced tea is a simplicist.After all, itrequires only two ingredients, one

of which is &esh water. The other, tea, could beblack, green, white or herbal.

But even though it's a minimalist drink, itdoes have a spot among the pantheon of coldbeverages and harps on quality.Good, &esh tea leaves and wa ter are para­

mount for a perfect iced tea."It is im portantto use &esh ingredients because they give thebest flavor," says Nathaniel Pantalone, ownerand manager of Dobra Tea in Pittsburgh'sSquirrel Hill.

Cynthia Gold, tea sommelier and managerof L'Espalier in Boston, adds that any waterwon't do."Don't use water that has a chemicalor chlorine taste," Gold says."Ifyour local watertastes otf, consider using filtered or springwater."

Also, Gold says, if the same water is reboiledoften, you will be de-oxygenating the water.'This can lead to a flatter tasting tea."It is best to use &esh, cold water because

it contains more oxygen than hot water fiomthe faucet. Tea meisters say more oxygen isimportant because it enhances the flavor ofthe tea. When the water comes to a rolling boil,pour it over loose tea leaves or a tea bag, andthe burst ofhot water will open the tea leavesand maximize the flavor.

Typically crisp teas are good cold, and rich

teas are used in hot beverages. Pantalone says"tea thatis good cold is also good hot, butitdoesn't necessarily work the other way amund.Some kinds of fermented Chinese teas calledPu-er make great hot teas but horrendous coldteas."

Although iced tea is extremely popularduring the summer months, it has become thebeverage of choice year-round.

Bret Thorn, senior food editor at Nation'sRestaurant News, says iced teas are gettingmore popular as"consumers are getting in­creasingly wary of carbonated drinks and theirsugar and artificial sweeteners."They wantsomething cold and re&eshing, and so turn toiced tea, he said. Consumers also thinkit has ahealth halo effect, he adds.Peter Goggi, president of Tea Association of

the USA, says 85 percent of tea consumed inAmerica is iced.''We are an iced tea culture,and we are the only countryin the world."

Consumption is driven up by baby boomersand millennials. In fact, 87 percent of millenni­als drink tea, according to the Tea Association.Goggi says that's because millennials grew uphearing"the tea and health story" and theygrew up in the ready-to-drink era that acceptedtea as a good alternate beverage to soda.

Although its popularity has risen in the lasttwo decades, iced tea has been around for along time.

Richard Blechynden is credited with makingthe first iced tea in 1904, when he purportedly

poured tea over ice at the World's Fair in St.Louis because sales for his hot tea were plum­meting when temperatures were soaring that

However, there are earlier written accountsof ice tea, according to Goggi. One is as early as1879, and the recipe credited to Marion CabellTyree used green tea. Later, in 1884, a recipefiom Boston Cooking School called for tea to bepoured over ice, he said.

When makingiced tea, Pantalone says it'sbest to use a lot of tea in a batch.'We often seepeople using too little tea. We recommend eightto 14 teaspoons of tea per gallon depending onthe tea," he says.

The tea also should have room to expandduring the infusion process because if it doesn'tthe tea won't properlyrelease flavor to thewater, he says.

Generally, the tea is steeped in hot water forabout six to 15 minutes before additives suchas fiuits or herbs are added."Anything longerthan 15 usually ends up being a waste of time,"Pantalone says."But, if the leaves are com­pacted in some way, like with pearl tea or rolledteas, then longer is better."

If planned ahead, tea could also be steeped incold water."It's marvelous. You simply put yourleaves into &esh cold water and place them inthe refiigerator overnight," Gold says. Tasteyour tea and remove the bags at that point, orgive it up to 24 hours."

The optimal time for steeping will depend

on the tea leaf variety and size."I like to usea larger amount of tea leaves for a cold steepthan you would for a hot steep. Perhaps one­third more," Gold says.

Ifyou want to sweeten the tea, add thesweetener after brewing tea in hot water. If thesweetener is added earlier, it will change theosmotic pressure of the water on the tea leaves,which will result in a slower infusion, Panta­lone says. However, he adds that you don't haveto wait for the water to completely cool downbecause sugar will dissolve in tea more quicklyat higher temperatures.

Don't be put otfif the iced tea looks cloudy,which in the industryis called"creaming."

"It does not mean that there is anythingwrong with the tea. In fact, some of the finestquality leaves will cloud; itis just that it isthrowing otf a precipitate that is douding thetea," Gold says."If you hot steep your tea verystmngly and then rush cool it, you are morelikely to cause it to cream."

"Cloudiness in iced tea, especiallyiced blacktea, is actually a good thing," Pantalone adds.

Is there a magic time within which iced teashould be served? Well, it all depends on the teavariety.

"Iced black teas keep very well in the refiig­erator for about a week, buticed Jasmine teascan get funky after about three or four days.The best time to serve iced tea would be assoon as it's ready. But that is easier said thandone," Pantalone says.

MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 20)5YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you are a clever individual,

always thinking about things in a way thatcan make them useful to you either immedi­ately or in the long run. Your cleverness and

mental agility will certainly be your greatestassets in life. Even when you find that you areboxed in for some reason and cannot be as

active as you might wish, you will always haveyour formidable brain to fall back on and seeyou through. You are not just quick andclever, but also highly creative; you are likelyto come up with many new ideas that ulti­mately become widespread ­- they will nodoubt benefit a great many over time andbecome routine to those who know a goodthing when they see one. You always strive tobe positive and forward-thinking.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 25VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ­- Fluctuations

in energy will occur all around you, requiringyou to be flexible and willing to go with theflow, perhaps more than usual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You'll want totake a look at what someone else has donerecently in order to determine what you canand should do when your turn comes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You mayhave trouble getting started, but when youfinally get moving, you'll reach all of yourimportant goals ahead ofschedule.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec 21) — Youmay not understand all of what you areshown, but you'll grasp the notion thatimportant things are getting ready to happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Youmay disagree with someone in authority, butyou must be able to work with whatever limi­tations are imposed upon you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You havethe feeling that others are watching you for adifferent reason than normal. Things are not

progressing in the usual fashion.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may

have to do certain things out of order, whichcould force you to look at them in a wholenew light.

ARIES (March 21-Apru 19) — You mayfind yourself at the helm of something newand unlikely, but this shouldn't take youentirely by surprise.

TAURUS (Apru 20-May 20) ­- You sus­

pect another of doing things for reasons thathave not been made public. Dare you digdeeper and reveal what you discovert

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It's not toolate, no matter what anyone might be tellingyou. You know that much can be done afterbusiness hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ­- You're

going to have to push back when someone

else begins pushing you. You don't want tomove too far in the wrong direction!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ­- You have inmind the beginnings of a plan that could,very likely, increase your social and profes­sional standing considerably.

BEAUTIFUL

TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2015YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you are a forceful individual,

but you almost never find it necessary tooperate at full force for thevery simple reasonthat your personality is so compelling andyour approach to life so uncompromisingthat your are likely to get what you want withrelatively little effort — provided, of course,that you make your desires clearly known.You are destined for the limelight, thoughyou do not always like the kinds ofthings thathappen to you as a result of such attention.The praise, recognition and accolades are

perfectly fine, but the daily attention can getto be a bit much. As a result, you are knownto retreat from the public eye whenever you

can. You want to live your life on your ownterms, and sometimes you have to get awaytodo so.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may

have to break one of your own rules andinvite yourself to someone else's gathering.

You have a very good reason to do so.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You and a

friend can put your heads together and com e

up with a plan that gives you a needed boost,but offers more than mere fun and games.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You maydemonstrate some subtle behavioral changesthat make others wonder what you're up to.Indeed, something is up, for sure!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec 21) — Youwant things to be a bit more involving thanthey have been of late, but that's really up toyou. Don't hang back ­- join in!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Tension between you and another is likely todissipate after you come to terms with a pastevent. It's time to move forward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ­- You maybe trying to make things a bit too complicat­ed, but on the other hand, you have theopportunity to impress the powers that be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Things maynot add up the way you expect them to. Bewilling to adopt a new wayofthinking — and,

by Stella Wilder

perhaps, doing.ARIES (March 21-Apru 19) ­- You may

have to work harder to fulfill your responsi­bilities. More than the usual individuals arecounting on you.

TAURUS (Apru 20-May 20) ­- Consideradopting new methods, as the old, familiarones are not working the way they used to.Efficiency is down, as well.

GEMINI (Mayzl-June20) — You're usingtools and methods that others may consideroutdated, but to you they're the only way togo. You have a knack, surely!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ­- You canmaintain a positive outlook even as otherssuccumb to a rare kind ofmalaise. You knowwhat's coming and howvaluable it is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ­- You'll be able to

go farther than usual — and perhaps muchfaster, too. You've been working on some­thing new that can now be unveiled.

NORTH It',OREAWife with wandering husbandmust track down legal advice

Your fiiend may surprise you and accept be­cause there is no timetable for grief, and muchof the grieving may have been done while thedeceased was alive and ailing. However, ifyour fiiend declines, at least he/she will knowyou were thinking about him/her, and that'sveryimportant at a time like this.

DEAR ABBY: Our bright, attractive

she's seeing a transgenderDEAR man. For ftnanciai reasons,

DEARABBY: I'm nearly 100 percent suremy husband is cheating on me. I trackedhim a couple of times usirg the GPS on hisphone and saw he wasn't where he told mehe would be. I know he has a female ac­quaintance who lives in the general area ofwhere he was, so I did a little investigating.Sure enough, she lives exactly where he was.I don't know whether to confront him now,or wait to try to catch him ather house so there will be nodenying it.

My husband is the lastperson on Earth I thoughtwould cheat. When it comesto everything else in li fe, he's a man ofhighstandards and integrity. I'm afraid to be onmy own because I never have been. I don't seehow I/we can afford a divorce. Please help.

— IN SHOCKINFLORIDADEAR IN SHOCK You must have sus­

pected that something wasn't right, or youwouldn't have been tracking your husband'swhereabouts. Now that you know for certainhe hasn't been truthful, protect yourselfbyconsulting an attorney who specializes infamily law.

This does not mean I'm suggesting youdivorce your husband. However, you will beenlightened about what your rights are ashis wife. Armed with that information, if youdecide to drop by the woman's house whileyour husband is there and confront them, itmay help your husband recognize that a di­vorce isn't in his financial interest and givehim an incentive to repair your marriage.

DEARABBY: Would it be rude toinvitesomeone to afestive occasion weeks after heor she lost a loved one? Is there a timeframeor an etiquette reference? It seems callous toissueaninvitation, butifIdidn't, I'd feel likeI'm shunning or forgetting the person. I amlooking for a mature way to approach this.Have you any thoughts you can ofj"er?

DEAR TREADING LIGHTLY: Call theperson and say you are thinking about himor her, and ask how your friend is doing.During the conversation, allude to the factthat you'll be having a celebration and men­tion that ifhe or she is feeling up to it, theinvitation is open.

ABBY this m an has not had acomplete sex charge. He stillhas a female body part. This

has caused deep division within our familybecause, while we love our daughter, wealso refuse to see this as being "normai"andbelieve it will have a negative impact on ourdaughter professionally. Please advise.

DEAR LIVINGA NIGHTMARE: Un­less the person your daughter is seeingwears a sign describing his genitalia, yourdaughter's career should not be affected.This should be nobody's business — includ­ing yours. Because you love your daughter,concentrate less on what's "missing" andmore on what they share together and thehappiness they bring each other, and you'llall be better off.

DEAR ABBY: One of my male friendsis having achild with a woman heis notmarried to and isn't datirg. I want to throwa baby shower/party for him, and he seemsexcited aboutit. I will invite the mother ofhis future child, but Idon't really know her.The party is more for my friend.

Our circle of friends thinks it's strange tothrow a baby shower for a m ale. Am I break­ing some rule of etiquette here?

DEAR BROOKE: Is the mother of thechild a surrogate and is he planning to be afather to the child, or was she impregnatedduring a one-night stand?

Baby showers are supposed to be forthe baby, and the mother-to-be is usuallythe star of the show, not an add-on. If yourfriend's participation ended at conception,he is not entitled to a shower.

The North and South havebeen technically at war sincethe Korean War in the 1950s,which ended in an armistice,not a formal peace deal.

Pyongyang is notorious forissuing bellicose statementsat times of diplomatic strife.On Aug. 14, after South Kore­an activists sent propagandaleaflet-bearing balloons acrossthe border, North Koreathreatened to turn Seoul intoa"sea of fire."

On Thursday, North Koreafired a projectile at a SouthKorean loudspeaker that wasbroadcasting anti-Pyongyangmessages over the border, ano-man's land that has dividedthe two countries since 1953.

South Korea retaliatedby firing dozens of 155 mmartillery shells at the sourceof the attack, according to astatement from the SouthKorean Defense Ministry.Neither side has reportedinjuries or damage.

North Korea warned Seoulon Friday that it would take
