Our U iCrecor s aw

We're pleased that Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has

signed a law requiring the Secretary of State's oKceto study how the state government is handling the

public records law.But we'd be a lot happier if such an audit weren't

necessary.It shouldn't be.Oregon has had a public records law since 1973.Its purpose is succinct, and, frankly, wonderful­

records that state agencies and local governmentsproduce, including cities, counties and public schooldistricts, belong to the public and ought to be avail­able for the public to look at.

But over the decades the Legislature has lardedthe law with exceptions and loopholes — there aremore than 400 — that have blocked the flow of infor­mation much as plaque keeps blood from reaching

the heart.We hope Secretary of State Jeanne Atkins em­

phasizes this gradual, and needless, constriction ofpublic information in her audit.

Sadly, though, she can't scrape away those impedi­ments. Only lawmakers can do that, and we see littlereason to be optimistic about the prospects.

In the meantime we'd ask that Atkins, in additionto finding problems with how the state is adminis­tering the public records, also remind every publicagency that the 42-year-old law was not designed toprotect records from the public, but rather to ensurethat we have reasonable access to those records.

In our experience requesting public records we'veoften found that the flaw isn't with the law, but withhow public employees interpret it.

Sometimes agencies fail to respond to requests in atimely manner, even though the law requires that.

Other times they propose outrageous costs as­sociated with reviewing records for informationthat might be exempt from public disclosure, eventhough the public records manual published by theOregon Attorney General's oKce, which oversees thepublic records law, explains in clear language thatsuch lengthy and expensive reviews are not justifiedunder the law.

There's no excuse for public oKcials, who are thegatekeepers of these records, from being ignorant oftheir legal responsibilities. The Attorney General'smanual is available online for free, and paper cop­

ies, at $25, are well within the budget of any public

Your viewsVolcanoes as major CO'source myth refuses to die

In a recent letter to the editor, ChuckChase makes this completely errone­ous claim:"Just the ivolcanicl eruptionin Iceland alone...put more carbondioxide in the air than we ihumanslhave since we started cutting back oncarbon dioxide." Then he jokes thatbelievers in global warming should"quit drinking Kool Aid and believingin fairy stories...."

Chase's claims, like those of Repub­lican leaders in Congress, Republicancandidates for president, and localglobal warming deniers Pete Sundin,Jerry Boyd, and Baker County Com­missioner Bill Harvey, have been thor­oughly debunked many times.

The horrific massacre in Charleston,S.C., where nine black churchgoers diedat the hands of a white supremacistgunman, has been a powerful jolt toAmerica, prompting a renewed focus onracial divisions and the need to confrontthem.

Many say our nation has failed atdealing honestly with our history ofracial oppression and violence, and thatthe Charleston tragedy should be awake-up call. Are we on the verge of ashift in the national discourse on race?Perhaps; but for that shift to have alasting positive effect, there must be anhonest and open conversation across theboard.

In the aftermath of the crime, wehave seen some conservatives downplaythe issue of racism. Several Fox Newshosts have tried to spin the shootingas "an attack on faith" because it tookplace in a church, despite overwhelmingevidence that the motive was a racialone. Several Republican presidentialcandidates also tiptoed around the plainfact that Dylann Roof, the 21-year-oldcharged in the shootings, deliberatelytargeted blacks out of racist convictions.

Also from the realm of racism evasionis the defense of the Confederate flagwhich flies at the South Carolina state­house, though Gov. Nikki Haley Mondaycalled for it to be rem oved from the Cap­itol grounds. While many in the Southsee the flag as a symbol of regional prideand tradition, it is inextricably linked

to an ugly part of that tradition that isfundamentally antithetical to Americanvalues: the defense of slavery and, later,segregation.Yet, if"see no racism" attitudes exist

in some quarters of the right, manyon the left are just as willfully blind todecades of racial progress.

While it's quite true that the Charles­ton shooting cannot be seen in isolationfrom a long and horrific history of whitesupremacist terrorism against blacksiand, often, whites supportive ofblackequality), it is also a fact that in 2015,such an act is a shocking aberration.In the past, such terrorism often hadwidespread popular and tacit institu­tional support in the South; today, it isuniversally condemned and viewed withhorror. It is worth noting that, accordingto Roofs statements, he felt driven totake action partly because of frustrationwith the lack of Ku Klux Klan and otherwhite supremacist activity in Charles­

Now for the scientific FACTS:1. The estimated CO' emissions

Even theadmiration for the forgiveness shown toRoofby the victims' families has beentreated as denying blacks' right to anger.

Telling white Americans they arepresumed guilty of racism and thatthey are not allowed to dispute anyclaim of racism by a person of color­which happens routinely in progressivediscourse — is no way to move forwardon racial issues. An honest conversationalso requires an acknowledgment thatfar more black lives are taken by crimewithin the community than by racistviolence.

The tragedy in Charleston hasprompted some much-needed conver­sation in conservative ranks aboutpast and present racism in America.But liberals and progressives need tore-examine the blinders that exist intheir own discourse on race — unlesswe want another round of polarized andultimately fruitiess debate.

Welding has traditionally been molded into the vocationalagriculture programs and taught as m ore of a skill needed torepair equipment, Dalton said. This new program will teachstudents to weld in a laboratory setting. Those who completethe career pathway will go beyond pre-apprentice and evenapprenticeship pmgrams, he said.

Dalton noted that than4 to an $87,000 grantkom theYouth Development Council and a $20,000 grant kom theFred W. Fields Fund and Northeast Heritage Fund of theOregon Community Foundation, BTI pmgrams will beextended to Baker Middle School students.

"BTI will be somewhatrebranded at the middle school,"Dalton said.

Elective classes will expose BMS students to engineering,robotics, aquaponic agriculture and other courses.

Chris Carmiencke, newly hired Baker Middle Schoolprincipal, said the math- and science-related electives will bea nice addition to the seventh- and eighth-grade curriculum.

''We're hoping this is a stepping stone for career pathwaysaligned with BTI," he said

Betty Palmer, interim superintendent, said the newmiddle school electives will also help spur sixth-graders asthey begin considering their future careers.

"It fits nicely with the student learning plan, whichlaunches at Grade 6 and moves forward at Grades 7 and 8,"she said.

Mark Witty, who has been hired to lead the district assuperintendent beginrmg July 1, noted that BTI has beenincluded as part of the Northeast Oregon Economic Develop­ment District's regional comprehensive plan.

'That opens you up for grants that before were neveravailable,"Witty said."Doors are opening up all over theplace."

Dalton said future plans indude offering BTI programs,including the expanded welding classes, to community mem­bers as well as students.

Jerry Peacock, BTI director, also reported on a three-daycareer camp sponsored through the Oregon Department ofTransportation and the state Bureau of Labor and Indus­tries.

Eleven young women took part in the event, whichincluded hands-on activities rangingkom welding to cementwork and the operation ofheavy equipment.

Students traveled to the Ash Grove Cement plant nearDurkee, toured Behlen Manufacturing Co. at Baker City andvisited Triple C Redi-Mix Inc. near Baker City.

The camp was more successful than expected, PeacockSRld.

Teacher MeganAlameda, who coordinated the tlnee-dayevent, compiled comments kom those attending in a reportfor the board.

"It was scary at first, but then I got over my fear," onewoman said of the experience.'You inspired me to have apossible career in welding."

"Inspired was a word used throughout," Peacock said.'Thenumber one complaint was it wasn't long enough."

Peacock said nextyear's camp might expand to includefour or five days of activity.

"It was a great experience," he added.'Tm glad we under­took this. It was very, very worthwhile for them."

Director Kevin Cassidy praised Peacock's efforts in puttingthe project together and Peacock turned the praised to thosecompanies that participated.''We had great local support," he said.

Kessler said he would have no furthercomments Tuesday night, and neitherthe union nor the league immediatelycommented.

This was the latest step in the pro­tracted"Deflategate" scandal.

It is uncertain how soon Goodell willannounce anything. He could decide tokeep the suspension as it is, reduce it orcompletely wipe it clean.

With training camps set to open infive weeks, the commissioner has sometime to consider the evidence presentedat the hearing. But the Patriots alsocan't finalize training camp practiceplans for the quarterback position untilthey know Brady's availability for the2015 season.

NEWYORK — After a 10-hour hear­ing, Tom Brady now must wait to findout ifhis appeal of a four-game suspen­sion carried any weight with NFL Com­missioner Roger Goodell.

The league suspended Brady for hisrole in the use of deflated footballs in theAFC championship game win over In­dianapolis. He arrived at the NFL's ParkAvenue offices Tuesday morning, as didattorney Jeflrey Kessler, who is leadingBrady's defense.

It was growing dark when Goodellleft league headquarters after he heardBrady and representatives from the play­ers' union during the lengthy meeting.League security said Brady also had left.

No details of the hearing were immedi­ately available.

"I think we put in a very compel­ling case," Kessler said, adding that no

go to court. That could delay any solutionfor months.

On Tuesday, as Goodell was hearinga myriad of testimonies, Brady support­ers were outside, some wearing"FreeBrady"T-shirts. At least until the rainscame, that is.

The NFL Players Association hadasked Goodell to recuse himself fromhearing the appeal because he couldnot be impartial and might be called asa witness. But Goodell said it was hisresponsibility to oversee the hearing toprotect the integrity of the league.

Based on the league-sanctionedWells report, Brady was suspended andthe Patriots were fined $1 million anddocked a pair of draft picks.

Among the key elements of Brady'sappeal: who ordered his four-gamesuspension and whether science sup­ports the league's findings about deflatedfootballs.

"More marijuana relates tom ore possession, more addic­tion and more marijuana in theschools," he said. "The kid thing isthe big thing — access to kids anddistribution to kids."

When it comes to people drivingunder the influence of marijuana,Baker County has the advantageofhaving five drug recognition ex­perts iDREl to evaluate suspects.Two of those experts — Sgt.Wayne Chastain and Lt. DustinNewman — are DRE instructors,Lohner said.

Others are officer Daniel Pelayofor the city and Sherif Travis Ashand Jeff Spencer, a retired OregonState Police officer who is nowemployed as a deputy sheriff.

court," Lohner said.Lohner said he's especially con­

cerned about those using marijua­na recreationally and then gettingbehind the wheel.

"People in the medical commu­nity have it pretty well dialed in,"he said.'There are a lot of otherfolks who don't understand howpotentially powerful it can be.

"It scares me to think about thethreat to the community," he said.

Lohner expects most enforce­ment action to be complaintdriven. Police also will rely onconfidential informants to makethem aware of illegal marijuanaactivity.

Or, as occasionally happens,when fiiends have a falling out"we tend to learn a lot of informa­tion," Lohner said.

"The general course of ouractivity comes primarily &omhaving somebody on the inside,"

he said.In addition to enforcing the new

law, Lohner is concerned that bur­glaries and thefts might increaseas people who don't have the abil­ity to grow their own marijuanago after someone else's.

And there's the concern thatthe odor of increased outdoorcrops will result in complaintsamong neighbors, he said.

The city has dealt with a hand­ful of similar complaints in thelast few years regarding medi­cal marijuana, Lohner said. Theuse of marijuana for medicinalpurposes was approved by Oregonvoters in 1998.

Lohner said there are twocourses of action for people tosettle their complaints about theodor of a marijuana grow.

Neighbors could file a civillawsuit or they could appeal tothe City Council under Ordi­nance 97.14 of the city's propertymaintenance code. It applies to"nuisances not specifically enu­merated" to include "every otherthing, substance or act which isdetermined by the City Council tobe injurious or detrimental to thepublic health, safety or welfare of

The $35-an-ouncetax would have been paid bygrowers, while the 17 percenttax — as well as a taxof 3percent localities could chooseto impose — would be paid bythe retail buyer.

The committee has statedits aim is for the proposed taxto generate the same revenueas the tax originally approvedby voters. Although growersand retailers will be &ee to setprices as they see fit, the twotax proposals would gener­ate equal revenues at a retailprice of right around $235 anounce, tax included.

Council would look at the specificfacts of the complaint and decidewhether it should be declared anuisance, Lohner said.

If so, the offending party wouldbe cited and could face a fine andbe ordered to abate the nuisance,which in this case would meanremoving the marijuana causingthe offending odor.

In May, the City of Pendletonamended its nuisance ordinanceto prohibit the odor of marijuana&om leaving a person's property,according to the East Oregonian

: Legislators are weigh­' g their options for

getting the legal retail marketup and running sooner thanthe anticipated late-2016start date, but so far there'sbeen no action in Salem.

The OLCC is planningto begin issuing licenses forgrowers, processors, wholesal­ers and retailers early nextyear. Unlike in Washingtonstate, where retail licenseshave been capped at 334,Oregon has not set a limit onthe number oflicenses thatwill be issued at any level ofthe industry.

The proposed law wouldalso allow the 15 countieswhere at least 55 percent ofvoters voted against Measure91 — all east of the Cascades,and including Crook andJefferson counties — to barretail sales with a vote of acity council or county commis­sion. As passed, Measure 91only allowed for such a banthrough a vote of the publicduring a general election.

Measure 91, driving underthe influence of any amountof marijuana remains illegal.

The OLCC and theLegislature have the optionof establishing a measur­able definition of marijuanaintoxication, similar to the0.08 percent alcohol by bloodvolume used to determinealcohol intoxication.

Both Colorado and Wash­ington have set their limitsat 5 nanograms of THC permilliliter ofblood with a zero­tolerance standard for driversunder 21.

In both states, the scien­tific validity of the standardand the invasiveness of ablood draw relative to thebreath test used on suspecteddrunken drivers continue tobe debated. Any standardOregon arrives at will likelybe similarly disputed, but inthe meantime, driving underthe influence of marijuanais effectively a zero-tolerancepolicy.

to adjust their drug-testingpolicies in light of the new law,there's nothing in the law thatcompels them to do so.

The owner of Merlyn's Cater­ing, Kevin March, has known­Baker for 30 years.

The pair previously workedat the same restaurant in Port­land, Jakes Famous Crawfish,with Baker being an executivechef and March a waiter. Marchhad moved on to become anacupuncturist, while Baker"buried himself" in the kitchen.

While they had tried to dosomething similar to a cateringbusiness all those years ago,the business never quite picked

However, Merlyn's Cateringhas been off to a good, albeitquick, start.

"People were missing hiscooking," March said of Baker'sFoley Station closing down in2011."I approached him withthe idea of a restaurant, but he

I'm a business owner in mymid 50s, working long hardhours to grow my business.

While I know every aspectof my business, technically,my weak spot is frnanciaimanagement.

I'mjust not a "debit andcredit" kind of guy and Inever have been.

My issue is that my control­lerisn't doing thejob Iwantdone or thej ob I now knowneeds to be done.

This came to light recentlywhen I attended a confer­ence and learned what kindof reports and analysisother company owners in myindustry were receiving fromtheir frnance department.

My fellow owners weresurprised to learn that I wasnot getting anything close towhat they use to make moreinformed decisions.

I was told that it only takesa few days for their monthlyfrnancial reports to becompleted; mine are alwaysseveral months behind tjate).

The other owners explainedabout separation of du­ties within accounting andfrnance to prevent temptationand the likelihood of playingwith the numbers.

My controller has beenwith me foryears and by allaccounts is loyal and hard­working. I have no reason tosuspect anything but his totalhonesty.

I thought he was smartenough and willing to taketheinitiative to learn newthings as the company hasgrown and expanded, but hehas not.

What are your thoughts onhow to deal with this situa­tion?

DEAR FRED — I'd sayyou have a very serious issueon your hands. You havesomeone in charge of keep­ing track of your company'smoney and financial report­ing who is not giving youwhat you need as an owner,who doesn't seem to thinkthat his lack of initiativeor professional growth isnecessary and you aren'tgetting what other owners inyour industry routinely get

SALEM — Wheat yields areprojected to take such a hit thissummer that some EasternOregon growers may not evenharvest their crop, a senior grainmerchandiser said.

Sparse rainfall and diminishedsnowpack is the story for produc­ers all across the West, but anunseasonable heat wave in lateM ay and early June hit develop­ing wheat plants at exactly thewrong time, said Dan Steiner ofPendleton Grain Growers.

Dryland wheat growers, whofarm without irrigation, werehit especially hard as the Na­tional Weather Service recordedtemperatures of 90, 96 and 102degrees in the Pendleton area&om May 29 to June 10.

Steiner said the heat wavecame as wheat plants were inthe stage of filling out their grainkernels. Evaporation stole whatlittle water was left for plantdevelopment, he said.

"It came at a very, very badtime," he said."A lot of moisturethat could have gone to the ker­nel was simply lost."

If temperatures had been inthe 70s or 80s during that time,there would have been a chanceto have an average crop, Steinersald.

WALLA WALLA, Wash.­

The Northwest Banner Bankin Walla Walla, Washington,continues to receive reportsof fraudulent phone calls toboth clients and non-clientsregarding their debit andcredit cards. Banner Bankis working on making thepublic aware that the callsare not from them.

Banner Bank is a Wash­ington-chartered commercialbank that conducts businessfrom more than 100 locationsin Washington, Oregon andIdaho. They also offer a widevariety of commercial bank­ing services and financialproducts to individuals andsmall and medium-sizedbusinesses as well as theiremployees throughout thePacific Northwest.

The fraudulent calls ap­pear as if they are originatingfrom the bank, and alert therecipient that their"BannerBank card has been compro­mised" and to "press one tospeak with an operator."Afterwhich, recipients are askedfor their card information.

'These robo-calls are partof a phishing scam attempt­ing to obtain bank accountand personal information,"said Dianne Larsen, seniorvice president."Banner Bankhas not been compromisedand these calls are not fromBanner Bank. Banner neverasks for clients' personallyidentifiable information viathe phone, text message oremail."

Banner Bank has alertedthe proper authorities of thefraudulent robo-calls.

Banner Bank has also pro­

• Beware of phishingemails — these emails looklike they are from a bank orother reputable companiesand provide a link to verifyor change an account insome way. do not click on theprovided link.

• Beware of suspicioustext messages requestingaccount information via amobile device ie.g., cellphone,smartphone, tablet).

• Keep passwords secret,do not share passwords, donot leave passwords in anunsecured area, and changepasswords regularly.

For any Banner Bankclients that may haveprovided debit or credit cardinformation to the fraudsters,they can call Banner Bank'sclient services at 1-800­272-9933. Additionally, ifanyone mistakenly providedbank account and personalinformation, or believes theyare a victim of identity theft,they can visit www.idtheft.gov or call 1-877-IDTHEFTto report the crime to theFederal Trade Commission.The ID Theft website is aone-stop national resource toreport and learn about thecrime of identity theft.

If you suspect fraud, youcan bring in a certified fraudexaminer to perform an auditthat focuses specifically ontheft or opportunities fortheft.If you decide to do either

action, I recommend you putyour controller on a paid va­cation for at least one week,or longer, until you gain abetter understanding ofwhat has been and what hasnot been going on with yourcompany's money.

Assuming that this ismerely a case oflack of abil­ity, a longer term solutionto your dilemma is to hire

WALLOWA COUNTYWholesale grocers,potato growers settlelawsuit for $25M

• Former chamberpresident to headorganizationThe Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — A federaljudge has signed off on a$25 million settlement in alawsuit between wholesalegrocers and potato farmingassociations accused of form­ing a price-fixing cartel.

Associated WholesaleGrocers filed the class-actionlawsuit in 2010, contendingthat potato growers in Idahoand elsewhere conspired toraise prices by restricting thenumber of acres planted andtaking other steps to limitproduction.

They said such movesraised the cost of a 10-poundbag of potatoes from about$9 in 2007 to roughly $15 in

emption from antitrust rulesfor agricultural cooperatives.

The Kansas-based Associ­ated Wholesale Growers, acooperative of more than2,600 retail stores in 30states, contended the potatogrowing groups strictlyenforced their limita­tions using GPS, satelliteimaging and even farmlandfly-overs.

The massive lawsuit pittedpotato farmer against potatobuyer, with high stakes oneach side. The NationalPotato Council estimatesthat roughly 35 pounds offresh potatoes per personwere consumed in the U.S.in 2012. The estimated valueof potato sales that year was$3.7 billion.

The paperwork in the casewas also massive. The docu­ments produced by the defen­dants alone totaled more than3.6 million pages, according tocourt records obtained by TheAssociated Press.

Settlement negotiationshave frequently stalled overthe past five years, but onWednesday, U.S. DistrictJudge B. Lynn Winmill inIdaho gave his preliminaryapproval to the settlement.

Baker and March saidthe key to their business isto make the people feel thattheir event is special.

Baker asks the peoplewhat they want for themenu, their ideas and visionfor their event. And then hemakes it happen. He takesinto consideration what theywant, their budget and howmany people are involved."It doesn't matter if there's

The dream began in Feb­ruary, and they were able tostart their company in April.

"Starting a catering busi­ness is just as complicatedas a restaurant," Baker said.'You need all the same thingsas a restaurant — kitchen,dining room, China, linens.There's not one less thingin a catering business that'salso required for a restau­rant."

Baker said there's reallynot much difference betweenrunning a restaurant versusrunning a catering business.Except there is more flex­ibility.

"I can do my other job,"said March, who practicesacupuncture at MountainValley Therapy Ofllce, wherehe's worked for 23 years."Idon't have to be in here allthe time, like I would with arestaurant."

He said ifhe wants totake a weekend off for afamily event, then theydon't schedule anythingthat weekend. It's an easyfix that, in the restaurantbusiness, owners would notbe able to have.

Besides March's experi­ence as a waiter in Portland,he's doesn't have a back­ground in running a foodbusiness. He said he enjoyscooking, but that's about theextent of it.

that has been helping theirbusiness is the combinationof small town and the powerof Baker's name — peopleremember Foley Station andthey're happy he's back.

"People tell us how muchthey missed his food," Marchsaid."It was a beloved res­taurant."

Baker's name isn't the onlything driving their businessto success. They have customdesigned a 20-foot trailer tobe a mobile kitchen for thebusiness.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 20)5YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today you are one ofthe most power­

ful individuals born under your sign, and youexert that power in a straightforward, overtsort of way that seems to belie your Cancerheritage! While others may be much moresubtle, even retiring, in their approach, youare far more likely to jump out in front andpursue what you want in an aggressive fash­

ion. It is this fearlessness that sets you apart,for you're not the kind to back down whenthings get tough — and for Cancer natives,things can get tough quite often! While it istrue that you harbor certain insecurities, younever let them control you to the point thatyou are unwilling or unable to move forward.You will progress even when you are afraid todo so!

THURSDAY, JUNE 25CANCER (Iune 21-Iuly 22) ­- You're near­

ing the start of something big, and you wantto be sure that you'reproperlydecked out andready for your moment.

LEO (Iuly 23-Aug. 22) ­- There are certaindangers to be avoided, but most can be seen a

mile away. One or two, however, have a wayof sneaking up on you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You'll findyourself exploring unfamiliar territory beforethe day is out. What happens as a result maypresent a new opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Someonemay accuse you of not playing by the rules,but nothing could be further from the truth.You simply have a better understanding ofthem!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ­- You mayhave the chance to dig deeper than usual intoyour store of treasures and come up withsomething that is perfect for the occasion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Something you find is likely to lead you in anew direction, but there are changes you're

not willing to make.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Ian. 19) ­- You

may not meet with approval if you continuealong your current course, but approval won't

one may not agree with your approach, butyour intent is certainly shared. You'll cometogethereventually.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ­- The wayyou make key decisions will separate youfrom most others. You know what is at stake— or at least you think you do.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ­- You're

going to have to follow some very strict rules,but doing so can help you achieve somethingspecial.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ­- A differ­ence of opinion is likely to reveal the heart ofan issue that has eluded you for some time.You can score a personal coup.

GEMINI (May 21-Iune 20) — You'll bemoving at a swifter pace than most others.When you slow down, you're likely to be sur­rounded by those who want something.

2000 NEW VISIONULTRA 5TH WHEEL

THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 20)5YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you always have the feeling

that something is just around the corner­either waiting for you or waiting to come andget you. This sense that change is imminentwill likely be the driving force in your life, thereason whyyou choose to do a thing ­ - or notdo it. You are always keenly aware of how thepresent is only a transition point betweenwhat was and what will be. While this can bea great strength, as it is likely to propel youforward again and again, it can also be a lia­bility if it keeps you from giving due attentionto what is going cn around you! Never forgetthat today is worth more than tomorrow — ifyou give it its due!

FRIDAY, JUNE 26CANCER (June 2f-Jufy 22) — You may

not remember things exactly as they hap­pened, but your recollection has you poisedto achieve something remarkable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ­- Watch what

someone else is doing, and you'll see how heor she is able to maneuver and use natural

rhythms to gain the advantage.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ­- You may not

anticipate the one thing that will make all thedifference when all is said and done. What'spast is past ­- for now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ­- You'll betempted to tell someone all about what you'vebeen doing — and why — but perhaps wisdomwill prevail, and you'll keep mum for now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 2f) — The futurebeckons, and you'll be responding to thingsin a basic, elemental, even primal way for awhile. Don't try to hide from the truth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 2f)You're likely to believe what you're told — or

at least some of it. The parts that mean themost to you will be clear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. I9) — You'reable to see things for what they are ­- betterthan most, in fact. You may have some nego­tiating to do in the near future.

7 days/24 houraccess

COMPETITIVE RATES

shed some light cn a topic that has had othersin a state of wonder for quite some time. Youoffer more than a few answers.

ARIES (March 2f-Apru f9) ­- You mayhave to stoop to a very personal kind ofmanipulation in order to get someone to joinforces with you — or simply lend support.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Watch theclock, and don't ever let too much time slip bywithout making what you consider to be thebest possible use of it.

GEMINI (May 2i-June 20) ­- Despiteyour attempts to keep things neat and tidy,you're likely to have quite a mess to clean upwhen the day comes to a close.

by Stella Wilder

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. I8) — Thatwhich begins or ends today will be remem­bered as being unique. This mayprove to bethe model for a future success.

a reputable saleswoman ratherthun some anonymous website.— AWKWARD INILLINOIS

DEARAWKWARD: I don't think it wouldbe appropriate to ask your hostess whethershe has informed her family about her career,although I suspect she has made them awareof it. And if you prefer to decline the invita­tion, I'm sure enclosing an order for her prod­ucts would be fine with her — and possiblythe start of an ongoing business relationship.

DEARABBY I'm only 18. I know I have a lotto learnin life, butIneed help. I'm madly in lovewith aguy whois "bipolar"about our relation­ship. One day he loves me; the next he doesn't.

Today he said he needed some time alonebecause we've been together 24/7. I got allmad and started to go crazy. He's not break­ing up with me. I know he needs space, but Ican't brirg myself to let him haveit. I don'twant to lose him. Please help me fgureoutaway to stay with him.

DEAR GOTA GOOD ONE: Ifyou wantto keep your boyfriend, let him have hisfreedom. I know it sounds contradictory, butthe harder you try to hang onto him, themore he will want to get away.

And by the way, while he's enjoying his"space," you should do exactly the samething he is doing. If you isolate yourself, youwill only become depressed, insecure andclingy, none of which are attractive traits.

DEARABBY: Six months ago, my bestfriend's ftance raped me. He is a man I'veknown for many years, and I didn't seeitcoming. I became pregnant but had a mis­carriage two months later. I recently had tohave a hysterectomy from damcge incurredfrom the rape and the miscarrmge.

I never went to the police or pressedcharges, and very few people are aware ofthe whole horriftc experience.I have been beyond trauma­tized by what happened.My best friend knows noth­

irg aboutit, andI have beenunable to face her since thataw ful night. We text now and then, and shekeeps asking why I have suddenly droppedout ofher life. I don't know i fI can tell herthe truth. We were as close as sisters, and Ihonestly miss her like crazy, but I can't bepart ofher life if this monster is in it.

Do I tell the truth? Or do Ijust shut her outofmy life? This has taken aphysical and emo­tional toll on me. Please give me some advice.

You need more helpthan anyone can give you in a letter, andthe people there can counsel you not only onwhat to do, but also what your options areat this point. Your friend should absolutelybe informed about what she's getting into ifshe marries your rapist, but I do not recom­mend that you tell her until you have strongemotional support beside you.

The state House of Rep­resentatives approved ameasure to take up the flagis­sue, but that debate will comeafter the budgetis resolvedin the special session thatbegan Tuesday. It was undearwhether the Legislature wouldact before the funerals of thoseslain in last week's attack onEmanuelAME Church.

The House held a momentof silence for the Rev. Clem­enta Pinckney, a state senator,who was killed in the shootingof nine people during a prayermeeting. His body is scheduleto lie in state Wednesday.

"I want you, the House ofSouth Carolina, to put asidethe partisan bickering andunderstand that all of us arehuman beings," said state Rep.Joseph H. Neal, his voice trem­bling, after the vote was taken."If ever there wa s going to be a

day that South Carolina couldrise and be the state that itsays it is — this is the day."

The House vote was 103­10. The state Senate has yetto take a vote.

The South Camlina lawthat allows the Confeder­ate flag to fly on Statehousegrounds came under intensescrutiny after a white gunmaninvaded the historic EmanuelAME Church in Charleston,

"Never again may some­one use that red rag to takepeople's lives," said the Rev.Nelson B. Rivers, III, a pastorand official with the NationalAction Network, to thunder­ous applause at the rally"Make this day, this day, theday the flag comes down."

But even though top statepoliticians have reversedtheir position and havecalled for the removal of thebattle banner, getting the lawchanged is proving time­consuming. Most observersexpected the debate and finalvotes might take weeks.
