A lot of rumors have circulated since the bodies of Shannon McKillop,
Frank Scaramuzzi and Jeremiah Johnston were discovered in the past
couple of weeks. But based on confessions from the suspected killer,
police have the perpetrator in jail and the community is able to
breathe a sigh of relief.
Our region’s law enforcement community, from the district attorney to
the sheriff’s department to state police and local police departments,
did an excellent job of bringing a horrific crime investigation to
what appears to be a quick conclusion.

I am a big loser. For years I owned no bathroom scale because I didn’t want to know what I weighed. Besides, I reckoned, muscle weighs more than flab, and I had a lot of muscle on top of the flab.
OK, so I was in Denial. That’s probably one of the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it towns in Iowa friend Bill and I bicycled through in July during the 37th annual RAGBRAI. That’s a bicycle ride from Iowa’s west coast, the Missouri River, to Iowa’s east coast, the Mississippi River, many parts of which are not flammable.

She’s modest about accepting too much credit for Eastern Oregon University’s turn-around over the past two years. But there is little doubt in anyone’s mind that Dixie Lund was the catalyst for and the administrator of EOU’s resurgence. Lund was the right person at the right time to serve as interim president.
Her two-year stint recently came to an end as she handed over the reins to Bob Davies. Eastern’s challenges have not disappeared, due largely to the economic times. But the institution she handed over to Davies is one that is in far better shape today than it was when she was named to her second interim presidency in July 2007.

Fundraising to acquire enough money to run sports and activities at La
Grande Middle School and La Grande High School for the coming school
year is a sign of the challenging economic times we live in. Most of us
agree that sports give our youth opportunities to learn things like
sacrifice, teamwork, hard physical and mental effort, tenacity and a
cooperative yet competitive attitude. All of these are very important
qualities for life success.
