other veterans."Musick explained that VIA

chose to establish an office inLa Grande because there is alarge population of veterans— 10 percent of the populationin Union County — and alsobecause Union County doesn'thave the resources to providecomprehensive health care.

'Veterans might end up inPortland, even though theym ay be fiom La Grande, outof necessity," Musick said.'The Portland area tradition­ally has the security safetynet. Something strikes achord with me that is wrong.Someone who goes to serve,gets injured in the processand then can't get back homebecause they can't afford it? Sow e're trying to get folks backto where they want to live."

Musick and Holley agreethe VA is getting worseinstead ofbetter.

Bud passed away ar hishome near Joseph, Oregonon August 15, 2015. Hewas a life-long WallowaCounrian in so many won­derful ways. He spent hisearly years in the "northend" of the County, much

of his youth ar WallowaLake and most of his lifein the Joseph area.

Bud was born IoMelvin and Margaret(Goweyl Borrs in Lew­isron, Idaho. He manied

Cassandra (Manesl Borrs in 1974. They have one son, Beau,and he gained a daughter when Beau manied Krisrin. Twograndsons, who were literally the light of his life, are Laneand Tilden. Bud, Lane, and Tilden spent many days together,laughing, wrestling, riding, and "doing chores."

Bud fought a sometimes losing battle against a massiveinfection caused by a gun-shor wound in the Vietnam War.Having served in the U.S. Army, he was awarded the PurpleHeart and Bronze Star medals, borh with oak leaf clusters. Inhis civilian life, he was active in many community events, in­cluding the Wallowa County Fair, the Elk's Christmas Foodbasket effort, and FFA assistance. He mer every adversary,whether ir was health or otherwise related, with amazingcourage. Perhaps that's why he was rewarded by passing inhis sleep without pain or additional suffering.

Nor long after Bud and Cass were married, Bud workedfor the Forest Service's road crew.

es nEditorial from the Bend Bulletin:

Oregonians who allowed or encouraged theirchildren to skip the Smarter Balanced assessmentsin the school year that just ended did their kids nofavor. Moreover, if their numbers grow, they couldcause problems for all school-age children in Oregon.

Smarter Balanced is the new exam that Oregonchose to replace its old Oregon Assessment of Knowl­edge and Skills exam when it adopted the CommonCore curriculum. It was one of 17 states to use thenew test last school year.

The U.S. Department of Education requires theannual assessments as part of the No Child Left Be­hind law. At least 95 percent of students must take

the tests, and at least 95 percent of individual groups— students in poverty, students with disabilities and

others — must also complete the exam.While Oregon hit the overall goal, there were

problems. African-American and disabled studentparticipation both fell below 95 percent statewide,and two dozen of the state's 197 school districts also

fell below the mark. More than 100 districts came upshort for at least one group of students.

Those numbers matter because there's moneyat stake. If participation rates drop too far, Oregoncould lose some $344 million in federal educationfunds. That money largely goes to special educationand to schools with a higher-than-average numberoflow-income students, arguably the very kids whomost need help getting through school.

Neither Common Core nor Smarter Balanced willend education as we know it nor damage our chil­dren in the process. Rather, the former is aimed atgetting kids to meet higher standards than beforeand to learn to think critically. The latter simplyallows parents, educators and others to compare Or­egon student achievement with student achievementelsewhere in the United States.

Yet state lawmakers bought into the negative buzzthis spring and passed a bill making opting out ofexams arguably easier than opting out of immuni­zations — pretty much for any reason a parent cancome up with.

They apparently did so without thinking seriouslyabout the matter, and while they will be the onesasked to replace missing federal funds if they're lost,it is we taxpayers who will supply them.

tthas come to ths. The GOP, formerly theparty of Lincoln and ostensibly the party

ofliberty and limited government, is beingdefined bydamors for a m ass mundup anddeportation ofmillions ofhuman beings. Towill an end is to will the means for the end,so the Republican clamors aie also for therequisite expansion of government's sizeand coercive powers.

Most of Donald Trump's normallyloquacious rivals are swaggeringlyeager to confront Vladimir Putin but aretoo invertebrate to voice robust disgustwith Trump and the spirit of, the policemeasures necessary for and the cruel­ties that would accompany his policy.The policy is:"They've got to go."

'They," the approximately 11.3 millionillegal immigrants, have these attributes:Eighty-eight percent have been here atleast five years. Of the 62 percent whohave been here at least 10 years, about45 percent own their own homes. Abouthalfhave children who were born hereand hence are citizens. Dara Lind of Voxreports that at least 4.5 million childrenwho are citizens have at least one parentwho is an illegal immigrant.

Trump evidently plans to deportalmost 10 percent of California's work­ers and 13 percent of that state's K-12students. He is, however, at his most Re­publican when he honors family values:He proposes to deport intact families, in­cluding children who are citizens. Trumpwould deport everyone, then"have anexpedited way of getting them ["the goodones";"when somebodyis terrific"i back."

Immigration plan may spell doomGEORGE WILLSYNDICATED CQLUMNIST

presidentifhe hadreceived 10 pomts mo rethan his 27 percent of the Hispanic vote.

About 900,000 of America's Hispaniccitizens reach voting age each year. In2012, less than half of eligible Hispanicsvoted, but Republicans have figured outhow to increase Hispanic turnout.

A substantial majorityofAmericausand,in some polls, a narrow majority ofRepublicans favor a path forillegalimmi­grants notjust to legal status but to citizen­ship. Less than 20 percent ofAmericausfavor comprehensive deportation.

This may, however, be changing nowthat so many supposed Republicansembrace a candidate who, six years intoRonald Reagan's presidency, disparagedReagan as someone who tried to "con"the public. Looking on the bright side,perhaps Trump supporters are amiablybroadminded in their embrace of a can­didate who thinks we cannot presentlybe proud to be American citizens.

If, atter November 2016, there areautopsies of Republican presidentialhopes, political coroners will stress theimmigration-related rhetoric of August2015. And of October 1884.

Then, the Republican presidentialnominee, former Sen. James G. Blaine,retmmghome to Mainein the campaign'sdosingdays, attended arallyon his behalf,where a pmminent Protestant dergymansaid Democrats were a partyof'rum, Ro­manism and rebellion." Catholics, manyofthem ~ ant s, noticed. Blaine lost NewYork, and withit the presidency, by 1,200votes out ofmore than 1million cast.

Trump proposes seizing money thatillegal immigrants from Mexico try tosend home. This might involve sacrificingmail privacy, but desperate times requiredesperate measures. He would vastlyenlarge the federal government's enforce­ment apparatus, but he who praisessingle-payer health-care systems andfavors vast eminent domain powers hasnever made a fetish of small government.Today's big government finds running

Amtrak too large a challenge, and Trump'smundup would be about 94times largerthan the wartime internment of117,000persons of Japanese descent. ButTrumpwants America to think big. The big costs,in decades and dollars thundreds ofbil­lions), ofTrump's projectcould be ieducedit; say, the targets were iequired to sew yel­low patches on their dothing to advertisetheir comingexpulsion. There is piecedent.

B~ t cit izenship, established bythe14thAmendment and opposed by Trumpand his emulators, accords withAmerica'snatural-rights doctrine. Arguably, thispolicyis unwise. Butis this an argumentRepublicans should fomentin the toxicatmosphere Trump has created, an argu­ment that would injure the next Republi­can nominee even more than Mitt Romneyinjured himselP.

'They would see a familiar face.People in the community would be moreat ease talking with them and sharinginformation," McCormack said.

The City of Union has a contract withthe Union County SherifFs Offtce toprovide the city with about 135 hours oflaw enforcement service a month. Thecontract gives the sherifFs department amuch greater presence in Union than itotherwise would have.

Union County Sheriff Boyd Rasmus­sen said on Tuesday he supports theidea ofhaving a deputy who is focusedon Union. He suggests adding a half­time deputy. Rasmussen noted that theprogram he is recommending would besimilar to one now in operation in theCity of Elgin, which the Union CountySherifFs Offtce also has a contract with.

Union County Sheriff's Office Deputy Dane Jensen arrives in Union from La GrandeTuesday afternoon. Jensen isone of the many deputies who patrols Union. Union Mayor Ken McCormack would like to see one or two deputiesspecifically assigned to the town.

"An Elgin model would be assigned tothe area," Rasmussen said.

The deputy assigned to Union wouldpatrol the town for 20 hours a week.This would boost the hours of serviceUnion receives from the sherifFs officeto approximately 215 a month.

Having a deputy assigned to Unionwould increase efficiency and com­munication, Rasmussen said, becauseeveryone would know the best personto make contact with regarding lawenforcement issues.

"There would be a go-to person for cityhall and the mayor," Rasmussen said.

Adding a deputy who would work 20hours a week would cost Union about$3,000 a month, or $36,000 a year.

"That would be a great value," Ras­mussen noted.

The City of Union began contract­ing services from the Union CountySheriff's Offtce about 13 years ago. Themove was made shortly after the City ofUnion dissolved its police departmentas a cost-saving measure. Contractingwith the sheriff's department for law

I spent my first 18 yearsin Portland and lived inCannon Beach for 17 years.During those years, I alwaystook snap shots andkept journals.

I actually took everywriting class offered at com­munity colleges in Astoriaand Portland.It was after taking a 10­

day driving tour of East­ern Oregon in 1995 that Idecided it was time to followmy heart and move.

I first moved to Josephand then 10 plus yearsago moved to the heart ofEnterprise.

My passions were fueledand fulfilled here: biking,hiking, fishing, photography,writing and reading wereabundant.

Most of all, the senseof community in WallowaCountyflourished.

My work has been alwaysinvolved with people; fromgrant writing for non profits,social worker to law enforce­ment, I continued my pas­sion for serving.

About 2008, I becameinvolved in &eelance photo­journalism.

I was pretty active withour La Grande Observer forapproximately three yearsand with other publications.

In 2010, I moved mydisabled mom from Cali­fornia to Enterprise andbesides working in thepublic sector, I did caretak­ing for her.

The streetsof St. Petersburg were littered with brokenparts and pieces, and a chunk of debrissailed over the grandstands and struck apedestrian. IndyCar required Honda andChevrolet to make structural upgrades.

SALEM — By late April2016, some of Oregon's morethan 530,000 unatfiliatedvoters may have to m akea choice: Do they want toreceive a ballot for the Inde­pendent Party's first electionas a major political party inOregon or just nonpartisanoffices and referenda?

It's a somewhat obscmequestion in Oregon elections,butit's one that counties andthe secretary of state's officeare focusing on because anopen primarywill add to thecost ofrunning elections inOregon. The party says it willallow unalliated voters ac­cess to its ballotif they'd like.

A rapidly growing bloc ofvoters doesn't belong to anyof the state's now three majorpolitical parties. Becausethey don't join a party, unaf­filiated voters typically can'tvote for legislative and state­wide candidates until thegeneral election, when only asmall percentage of races inOregon remain competitive.

That will change if theIndependent Party of Oregon,which last week was certifiedas a major party worthy of astate-run primary election,attracts any candidates forstatewide office, in which caseall unalliated voters mightget a ballot for the prim ary.

A recent example — &omwhen the Republican Partyopened its elections to non­members in 2012 — indi­cates the participation in anopen primary may be verylow. Yet the state and county

By Taylor W. Anderson

SALEM — After coming underfire from lawmakers for the way itadministered hemp licenses six yearsafter the state legalized the plant, theOregon Department of Agricultureannounced Tuesday it would suspendthe program until at least March.

The move gives lawmakers time toregulate hemp to ensure it coincideswith the state's matured medical andblossoming recreational marijuanamarkets after the Legislature failed todo so last session.

In making the announcement, theagency said it would allow active,three-year hemp license holders tocontinue growing if they have plantsin the ground this year. No one willbe granted a new, one-year licenseuntil after the short legislative sessionadjourns in March, the agency said.

"Given the lack of clarity in thecurrent statute and policy concernsthat have become apparent during thefirst year of program implementation,the Department will work closely withpolicymakers and the industry to makea decision on when to reactivate issu­ance oflicenses after the conclusionof the 2016 legislative session for the2016 growing season," the announce­ment said.

will have to pay to offer theoption to all unalliated vot­ers, running up their costs.

Oregon law says thatwhen a party includes non­members in its primary elec­tion, the state must send amailer to every una51iatedvoter alerting them that theoption is on the table.

Postage costsIn 2012, the cost ofmailing

postcanls alone added up to$89,200 for counties, acconfingto state data. The costs prob­ably would be higher this timearound with more registemlunafliliated voters.

After Oregon's pioneeringNew Motor Voter law­automatic voter registrationfor those who interact withthe Department of MotorVehicles — takes effect inJanuary 2016, that will meanmany more than 530,000printed and stamped piecesof mail sent, as the newlyreg­istered voters would be unaf­filiated at first and could laterjoin a party. The secretary ofstate's office believes the lawwill add about 300,000 newvoters in 2016, but not all willbe added day one.

Unalliated voters canthen respond, indicat­ing whether they want aprimary election ballot forthe party that has opened itselections to them, or they canignore the mailer, as many ofthem have done in the past.

''What we saw in the

Republican primarywhenthey openedin 2012 was therewas a very small percentageofpeople returned both" the

en primary would bring added costcard indicating theywanteda ballot and the ballotitselt;said Tim Soott, MultnomahCountyelections director.

But the state and coun­ties, not the party, must payfor the mailers and addedcosts to process the respons­es and extra ballots castduring the primary election.

The small group thatrunsthe Independent Party ofOregon says it would like tostreamline the process to savethe state and counties somemoney while offering theoption to unamhated voters.Sal Peralta, secretary of

the parly, and Dan Meek, theparty's cochairman, askedthe Legislature last session tochange the law to allow coun­ties to justmail ballots dnectlyto voters, cutting out som eexlra mailing costs and poten­tiallyincreasingparticipation.

The pause is essentially a win forSouthern Oregon medical marijuanagrowers, who asked the Legislaturelast session to instill buffer zones andother regulations to ensure hemp andmarijuana plants don't cross-pollinatewith potentially ruinous effects forboth plants.

The state's hemp farmers, includ­ing some in Bend and several in theWillamette Valley, said the state waspicking favorites between the two can­nabis crops. Oregon voters legalizedm arijuana for adults 21 and older lastNovember. Lawmakers in 2009 votedto allow farmers to grow hemp, whichis still illegal federally because of it isin the cannabis family despite lacking

psychoactive effects.After a lengthy rule-making process

by the state Department of Agriculture,hemp farmers sought to get the firstlegal plants in the ground last springand enter the highly profitable CBD oilmarket. The oil is sold to patients forits potentially soothing qualities on de­bilitating diseases and is a compoundfound in hemp and marijuana plants.

Lawmakers failed to pass a billthat would have restricted the hempmarket as the recreational marijuanamarket gets off the ground in thecoming year. The agency's decisiongives lawmakers more time to decidehow the two plants will be growntogether in the coming years.

Dear Savvy Senior,Where can we find affordable

hearing aids? My husband needsa set but we can't really afford topay the exorbitant prices. Can youhelp us?

Dear Loud,I t's unfortunate, but mi l l i ons

of Americans with hear ing lossdon't get hearing aids becausethey simply can't afford them.Hearing aids — typically soldthrough audiologists' offices — areexpensive, usually costingbetween $1,000 to $8,500 per ear.What's more, tradi t ional Medicaredoesn't cover them and pr ivateinsurance typically hasn't ei ther.

But there are numerous waysto save on hearing aids if youknow where to look. Here are afew tips.

Check Your InsuranceWhile most private health

insurance companies do not coverhearing aids, there are a few thatdo. United Healthcare, for exam­ple, offers high-tech custom hear­ing aids to their beneficiar iesthrough HealthInnovations for$599 to $899 each. And a smallnumber of other plans wil l p i t chin $500 to $1,000 towards thecost of hearing aids, or give you adiscount if you purchase hearingaids from a contracted provider.

And due to state law mandates,three states — Arkansas, NewHampshire and Rhode Island­currently require pr ivate insur­ance companies to provide hear­ing aid coverage for adults and 20require it for children. So checkwith your insurance provider tosee if it offers a hearing aid bene­fit.

If your husband is a Medicarebeneficiary you should know thatwhile original Medicare (Part Aand B1 and Medigap supplemen­tal policies do not cover hearingaids, there are some MedicareAdvantage (Part C1 plans that do.To look for a plan in your areathat covers hearing aids visi tMedicare.gov/find-a-plan.

If he is a current or retiredfederal employee enrolled in theFederal Employees HealthBenefits Program, some plansprovide hearing aid coverage,including the Blue Cross BlueShield plan that covers hearingaids every three years up to$2,500.

And, if you are on Medicaid,most state programs cover hear­ing aids, but requirements vary.To find out i f he qual i f ies, contactyour state's Medicaid program orvisit Medicaid.gov.

Veterans BenefitI f your husband is a veteran,

the VA provides a hearing aidbenefit if his hearing loss wasconnected to mi l i t ary service orlinked to a medical conditiontreated at a VA hospital . He canalso get hearing aids through theVA if his hearing loss is severeenough to interfere with h i sactivities of daily life. To learnmore, call 877-222-8887 or visitVA.gov.

Assistance ProgramsI f your income is low, there are

various programs and foundationsthat provide financial assistancefor hearing aids to people in

I set up with some type of road­side assistance service in case weget a flat tire or our battery conksout. Can you recommend somegood and affordable services forretirees on a budget?

Dear Too Old,Getting set up with a roadside

assistance service you can call onday or night if your vehiclebreaks down is a smart idea, andcan provide you and your wi fesome real peace of mind. Here aresome different options to lookinto that help you find a plan.

Already Covered?For years, auto clubs like AAA

were the only option dr ivers hadwhen it came to roadside assis­tance, but today you have lots ofchoices. Most roadside assistanceplans provide services like tow­ing, flat-t i re changes, jump-start ­ing a battery, lost-key or lockoutservices, fuel delivery and helpwith stuck vehicles.

Before you start shopping for aroadside assistance plan, youf irst need to f ind out i f youalready have coverage, or haveaccess to inexpensive coveragethat you're not aware of.

Also contact Sertoma (Sertoma.org, 816-888-88001, a civic serviceorganization that of fers a compre­hensive list of state and nat ionalhearing aid assistance programson their website. Or call theNational Inst i tute on Deafnessand Other CommunicationDisorders at 800-241-1044, andask them to mail you their l is t off inancial resources for hearingasds.

Cheaper BuyingOptions

I f you are unable to get a th i rdparty to help pay for your hus­bands hearing aids, you can stillsave significantly by purchasinghis hearing aids at Costco oronline.

Most Costco stores sell topbrands of hearing aids for 80 to50 percent less than other ware­house chains, hearing aid dealersor audiologists' offices. Thisincludes an in-store hearing aidtest, fitting by a hearing aid spe­cialist and follow-up care.

And websites likeEmbraceHearing.com andAudicus.com, sell quality hearingaids directly f rom the manufac­turer for as little as $400 or$500. But, he will need to get ahearing evaluation from a localaudiologist f i rst , which can costbetween $50 and $200.

Roadside AssistanceServices for Older

Too Old to Fix a Flat

For example, if you dr ive avehicle that is st i l l under warran­ty, there's a good chance you'realready covered. Most auto manu­facturers now include comprehen­sive roadside assistance coveragefor free when you buy a new orcertified used car. This typicallylasts as long as the basic warran­ty, but not always. Be sure youcheck.

Also check your auto insuranceprovider, your credit card issuersand cell phone service providers.Many of these services providedifferent variations of roadsideassistance as add-on plans thatcost only a few dollars per year,or they're free.

But be aware that many ofthese services are l imi ted in whatthey cover. When investigat ingthese options, find out the benefitdetails including: Who's covered(individuals and vehicles); howmany roadside-assistance callsare allowed each year (three orfour is typical); the averageresponse time per service call;and the towing ru les on wherethey wil l tow (to the nearestrepair shop, or one that youchoose) and how far (about 5miles for basic plan is common,although some plans might capthe amount they pay for a tow at$100 or less).

Auto ClubsIf you f ind that you aren't cov­

ered, or you want a better road­side plan than what's current lyavailable to you, you'l l want tocheck out auto/motor clubs. Mostof these clubs offer two or morelevels of membership dependingon how much roadside assistanceyou want and are wi l l ing to payfor, and they often provide a var i ­e ty of discounts on th ings l ikehotels, rental cars and other ser­vices.

One of the best known and lon­gest running clubs, AAA (aaa.com1 offers comprehensive servic­es and has an extensive networkof more than 40,000 roadsideassistance providers, which usu­ally means fast response times.Costs vary widely from $48 to$162 per year depending onwhere you live and the plan youchoose, plus an additional fee foradding a family member.

Some other clubs to considerthat may be a l i t t le less expen­sive include Allstate Motor Club(allstatemotorclub.com1; AARPRoadside Assistance (aarproad­side.com1 for AARP membersonly; Better World Club (better­worldclub.com1; BP Motor Club(www.bpmotorclub.com1; GoodSam (goodsamroadside.com1; andGM Motor Club (gmmotorclub.com1.

option to consider is pay-on­demand roadside assistance ser­vices like Urgently (urgent.ly1and Honk (honkforhelp.com1.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2015YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you have the kind of power

over others that, while not aggressive or over­bearing, is nevertheless stronger than thatwielded by most others under your sign — orany sign, for that matter. Your strength comesfrom your deep-seated beliefs and unshak­able ideals, which evolved, no doubt, from anupbringing that showed you as much of theworld as you needed to see to form the kindof outlook and attitude that would sustainyou throughout your lifetime. You have notlearned everything from books or travel;indeed, you are so highly intuitive that youare able to learn a great deal simply by inter­acting with others and feeling what they feel.You are sensitive, caring and often selfless.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 27VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ­- You'll be

concerned with notions of duty and responsi­bility. What happens as a result will buildcharacter, certainly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ­- A game of

by Stella Wilder

mise may be hard to strike, but it's worthworking toward if it means reducing tensionbetween you and an old friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ­- If it's a fairfight you're after, you can surely have it, buttake care that you don't actually give youropponentthe advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may berequired to do or say something that stopsothers in their tracks. Once the informationis digested, progress can continue.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You can domuch to prevent things from coming to adead stop, but a slowdown may not be avoid­able. Any forward motion is valuable right

LEO (July23-Aug. 22) ­- You may be pass­ing judgment on someone for doing exactlywhat you would do in the same situation. Tryto make a fair assessment when you can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — An uncon­ventional decision has you on the path tosomething that can bring both pleasure andpain, but the outcome will be worth it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)­You're eager to know what lies around the

next corner, but you're going to have to waitas the pace slows unexpectedly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You'llreceive an offer from someone that mayrequire you to reconsider plans you alreadyhave in motion. Changes can be made.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You'lldiscover an open door where you thought allwas sealed tight. The opportunity to walkthrough it won't last very long.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ­- A matterthat you thought would simply go by thewayside will become a major issue. You knowhow to resolve it, but you must be prepared.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 2015YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you may seem to some to be a

rather unapproachable individual, privateand even secretive, the kind to retreat fromthe limelight — or, for that matter, any kind ofattention. On the other hand, you are hungryfor the kind of recognition that only being inthepublic eye can affordyou. In order to haveit, you are going to have to work hard toaccept praise, adulation, criticism, acknowl­edgment and even those who simply want toget close to you and get to know you. You arelikely to learn, at some point, to develop apublic persona that serves you in all mannerof professional endeavors, one that you andyour inner circle never confuse with the real)'0U.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 28VIRGO (Avg. 23-Sept. 22) ­- You'll start

the day in a bright and positive mood, andyou can avoid anything that might dampenyour spirits. Evening brings an invitation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may be

able to keep others from getting tripped up,but take care not to fall into the very sametrap yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You canenjoy yourself even as you struggle to com­plete a project on schedule ­- and underbudget. Whistle while you work!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ­- Youmaybe able to remove certain difficulties andproceed as if they had never existed in thefirst place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You'reseeking a competitive outlet, but take carethat you don't get pulled into something towhich you are not suited.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — The ten­sion builds as you and a partner disagree onthe proper course of action. The lay of theland may have shifted.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ­- You mayfeel that you are ready for anything, but whatlies around the next corner may challengeyou in ways that you could never expect.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Wife in loveless marriagelongs for intimate romance

DEAR ABBY: The wedding night I haddreamed about forever was supposed to be themost romantic and amuzing of my life withthe one person I can't live without. Instead, itwas the most humiliating experience I haveever had. I dressed in a beautiful negligee,and my husband didn't even take a secondlook at me. I was so em barrassed, I rolled overand pretended to fall asleep.That was my big night, theone night I'll never get again.

This same man bragsabout the sexual encountershe had with his ex-wife, cybersex and his 13-hour sexathon. When I tryto touch him, he seems repulsed and pullsaway. My heart can't take the never-endingrejection and the nights of crying because Idon't know what I have done wrong.The sad thing is, I'm pretty sure he has nev­

er even noticed. Even an intimate kiss wouldbe enough for me now. Idream ofa man wholoves me so much he stares at mefrom acrossthe room, who can't wait to get his hands onme even ifit'sjust for a second. Unfortunately,that's not my marriage. Don'tI deserve happi­ness? And will this ever charge?

DEAR UNTOUCHED: Of course youdeserve happiness. But nothing will changeuntil you start asking questions and demandanswers. The only thing you have done"wrong"is to have tolerated the status quo.

Has it occurred to you that your husbandhas been lying to you about his sexual ex­ploits? He may be impotent, gay, or so hookedon cyber porn that there is nothing left foryou. Make it your business to find out. Askhim. And ifhe isn't forthcoming, talk with hisex-wife. If your marriage was never consum­mated, you may be entitled to an annulment.

were the only things I ever wanted in life.Since then I have tried to ftnd meaning in

life and things to ftll the huge void that wouldhave been gled by my dreams. Ihave notbeen successful. I have been on antidepres­sants, gone to counseling volunteered, held a

j ob, traveled, and conftded in loved ones who,frankly, don't want to hear about it any longer

(and I don't blame them). ButI still feel completely empty.

DEAR There isn't anything I lookABBY forward to in life. (I'm 45,

divorced, most of my fam­ily has passed on, and I am

an atheist.) Idon't know what else to do orwhere else to turn. Can you help me?

DEAR BROKEN: What immediatelycomes to mind is that feeling as you doabout children, you might make a terrificfoster parent or adoptive parent to an olderchild. There are many in the system whoneed loving, supportive homes.

However, if that doesn't work for you,consider looking into volunteering to becomea court-appointed advocate for abused andneglected children through a program calledCASA. CASA volunteers make sure thesevulnerable children don't get lost in thelegal system, and you might find that tobe rewarding. You'll find more informationabout this at casaforchildren.org.

By Julie PaceAP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON — Presi­dent Barack Obama is theman in the middle, caughtbetween the White Houseaspirations of two ofhis closestadvisers: Vice President JoeBiden and former Secretary ofState Hillary Rodham Clinton.

For months, White Houseofficials expected Clinton tobe the Democratic nomineein the 2016 election. Some ofObama's top political advisersmoved to New York to runher campaign and Obamaappeared to give his tacitapproval, saying she would bean"excellent president."

But that bet on Clintonsuddenly looks less certain.With Biden weighing his ownpresidential run more serious­ly amid signs of weakness inClinton's campaign, the WhiteH ouse faces the prospect of afamily feud over who will be­come heir to Obama's legacy.

"Certainly he's got some­thing at stake here,"WhiteHouse spokesman Josh Ear­nest said Monday of Obama'sinterest in the 2016 election.

Biden's recent overturesto donors and Democraticofficials have led to palpableawkwardness in the WestWing as aides — many withclose ties to Clinton, the vicepresident or both — try tomaintain impartiality.Earnestraised the prospect

that Obama could endorse acandidate in the Democratic

In picking between Bidenand Clinton, Obama would bemaking a choice between twoof the most influential mem­bers ofhis administration.

Obama and Clinton longago turned their political rival­ry fiom the 2008 primary intoan alliance. Clinton left theadministration in early 2013after four years as Obama'ssecretary of state, but she andthe president still get togetherfor occasional meetings. Theyboth attended a birthday partylast week for Democratic pow­erbroker Vernon Jordan, andObama played golf on the tonyMassachusetts island withformer President Bill Clinton.
