The blackened remains of aponderosa pine forest loomed overtwo frustrated politicians Tuesdaymorning.

At an early morning meetingwhere Stices Gulch Road meetsHighway 245, Rep. Greg Walden, ROre., and Baker County CommissionChairman Bill Harvey discussed theaftermath of the recent wildfires.Both agreed that the salvage log

ging should be expedited before thetimber becomes worthless as lumber.

Harvey criticized the bureaucratic process involved in getting theburned trees harvested.

"I'm pushing as hard as I can," he

said."I'm meeting with the feds andthey say'we got this rule and wegot that rule.'This is pathetic ... I'mfed up with this. Everybody is fedup with this. If we don't do it rightthey say they are going to sue us. ForGod's sake, stop the lawsuits."

Walden said bipartisan legislation — The Resilient Forests Act of2015 iRFAl — that he helped to passlast spring addressed many of thoseissues. He explained to Harvey thathe is working with Senate leaders toget them to pass the bill.

"The Senate has to step up andhelp. No forestry bill has gotten tothe floor,s Walden said."It also startslocally."

He told Harvey that the Senate isnot on board.

He also talked Tuesday about theHealthy Forests Restorations ActiHFRAl, which, unlike the ResilientForests Act, has become law.

Walden said the law gives counties the power to have a communitywildfire planning process.

"It really shortened up the NEPAiNational Environmental Policy Actlprocess iwhich requires agencies towrite environmental studies). It hasworked where it has been used," hesard.

Walden said the law streamlinesthe environmental study process andcan help agencies such as the ForestService and BLM avoid lawsuits thatstall forest projects.

The Resilient Forests Act wouldmake it easier to salvage logs afterwildfires, and it would pay to replantand reseed up to 75 percent ofburned areas.

The Dry Gulch fire nearHa5vay has prompted CycleOregon officials to make major changes to the route for the2,200 bicyclists who startedthe week-long event Sundaymorningin Baker City.

The original schedule calledfor riders to spend Tuesdaynight in Haifway, then ridenorth on the Wallowa Mountain Loop Road on Wednesdayto Wallowa Lake for a twonight stay there.

But with the fire bringingalmost 300 firefighters toHa5vay, and smoke hanging thick at times in the PineValley, Cyde Oregon organizers decided Monday to cancelthose plans.Instead, riders stayed both

Monday and Tuesday nightsin Cambridge, Idaho.

Today the cyclists will pedalfiom Cambridge to FarewellBend State Park — reversing the route they rode onMonday.

On Thursday riders willreturn to Baker City, wherethey11 spend the night.

Debi Bainter, director of theBaker County Chamber ofCommerce, said volunteers inboth Baker City and Huntington responded to handle theunanticipated change in theschedule.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Oregon law provides some protection from lawsuits to ski operators, farmers and others whosebusinesses are inherently risky. Yet where skiing,snowboarding and some other sports are concerned,the law may not go far enough.

Moreover, state law protects a variety oflessobviously risky industries, from restaurants to lightbulb manufacturers, against liability lawsuits undercertain conditions.

The law covering ski areas sets out a list of"inherent risks" — the sorts of things that come naturallywith skiing, including snow, ice and a skier's willingness to go places and try things above his particularskill level — which can shelter a ski resort ownerfrom expensive lawsuits.

Unfortunately, the law also says the skier"assumes the inherent risks of skiing insofar as they arereasonably obvious." It's that language, lawyers say,that leaves ski areas open to lawsuits even when inherent risks are involved, for the court must decide,first, if the risks were reasonably obvious.

Most states do not put that burden on ski areas.Rather, they list inherent risks and leave it at that.Thus, in Idaho, avalanche is an inherent risk, and askier injured in an avalanche cannot sue the resortoperator.

That's a reasonable approach. It saves ski areas

from the enormous expense such lawsuits bring withthem, while protecting skiers' rights to sue in caseswhere negligence is a problem.

And that, in turn, saves skiers and snowboardersmoney. When Mt. Bachelor announced prices for liktickets and season passes last month, it noted thatthe cost oflitigation contributed to an increase inthose prices.

Oregon lawmakers didn't get the message thisyear when they leR two bills, one in the Senatesponsored by Tim Knopp, R-Bend, and one in theHouse sponsored by Knute Buehler, R-Bend, stalledwithout ever getting oA'the ground.

Oregon's ski areas should not be given a free passto ignore basic safety or fail to correct problems theycan reasonably be expected to correct. At the sametime, they should not be sued every time a skier isinjured in a fall. They cannot protect snow ridersfrom every possible danger, and the law should do abetter job of saying so.

in inThere is a moment following every

mass killing when the media turnstheir attention to the shooter's mentalhealth. After Aurora, Sandy Hook, IslaVista and, most recently, the WDBJ TVshooting in Virginia, pundits wondered:Could the tragedy have been avertedif only the killer had received betterpsychiatric care?

But looking to our mental healthsystem to address the problem of massshootings is misguided and potentiallyeven harmful, for a few reasons.

First, it distracts from a discussionof other potential solutions, such asstricter firearms policy or m edia coverage guidelines to reduce the likelihoodof copycat killings.Second, it tends to perpetuate a stig

matizing stereotype about the savageryof people with mental illness. Nearly40 million people in this country sufferfrom a mental illness, including morethan 13 million with severe mentalillness — the overwhelming majority ofwhom are not violent.

Third, and most important, we shouldnot turn to mental health practitionersto curb mass violence because there islittle evidence that we — I work as anemergency psychiatrist — can effectively predict or prevent it. To understandwhy requires an appreciation of somefundamental epidemiology.

Although mass killings generatesignificant media coverage, they'restatistically uncommon when comparedwith other crimes. An FBI study of"active shooter incidents" found thatbetween 2000 and 2013, there were 160such events )ust over 11 per year) in acountry of more than 300 million people.

In some high-profile cases, the shoot

ers had been diagnosed with seriousmental illness; in others, they had not.A recent study by the advocacy groupEverytown for Gun Safety found thatmental health concerns about the perpetrators had been raised beforehand inonly about 12 percent of mass killingsbetween 2009 and 2015.

Identifying a potential mass murderer is, then, like searching for a needlein a haystack. Actually, it's more likesearching for a particular piece ofhayin a haystack because mass murderersappear indistinguishable from countless other troubled individuals who willnever pull the trigger.W e simply don't have tools to forecast

who among the general population — oreven among a subpopulation of m entally ill people — will go on to commitan atrocity. According to news reports,several recent mass shooters werein psychiatric treatment before theircrimes, and none of their psychiatristsdetermined that they were imminentthreats to public safety.

Another problem is that we arelimited in our ability to treat homicidaltendencies. People who intend to killrarely reveal their plans or seek help.There is no medication or talk therapyguaranteed to prevent mass murder,particularly if a person has given noindication of his aims.

The best we could hope for is toidentify a higher-risk group of peoplewhom we could target for preventivetreatment. But the only truly reliable,

4hhe, Ho~se,Editir1$

I • )

foolproof clinical intervention is longterm institutionalization, meaning wewould need to hospitalize or incarceratemembers of that higher-risk group.

Here we get into "Modest Proposal"territory. Who would make up sucha higher-risk group? All people witha mental illness? Perhaps all peoplewith certain mental illnesses such asschizophrenia or autism or narcissisticpersonality disorder? Because menseem to perpetrate most of these crimes,maybe all men with certain mental illnesses? Disgruntled former employees?Troubled young men who live with theirparents? Postal workers?

In order to prevent one mass shooting, how many innocent and harmless people would we feel comfortableinstitutionalizing, perhaps indefinitely?Furthermore, why would anyone voluntarily access even outpatient treatmentif the threat of long-term institutionalization were a likely outcome?

Second Amendment absolutists believe that gun-control measures intolerably curtail Americans' liberty; a mentalhealth"solution" to mass killings wouldlead to far m ore dramatic restrictions.

I wish that mental health professionals could prevent the horrible loss oflifeand community grief that mass shootings cause. But we need to be realistic.We should enhance access to servicesbecause high-qualitytreatmentmayimprove the lives and ease the sufferingof those with mental illness, not becausewe will halt mass violence. We shouldnot promise what we cannot deliver.

'Protecting' our publicforests is burning them up

This year has been a traumatic yearfor rural communities in the PacificNorthwest. As has been the case inprior years, this year a common comment from Forest Service management has been, 'We need more moneyto fight fires!" It is almost a mantra

With such a financial bind theForest Service is in, why is closingand decommissioning roads such animportant factor for their management of our public lands? Roads arevital to so many of the uses the publichas for public lands. A forest supervisor even admitted earlier this year thecurrent lnon-travel management plan)road system is a large factor in quick

and successful initial attacks on firesin his forest. Several firefighters havestated how appreciative they were ofroads and how much easier their jobwas. Roads even used as fire lines.

Sept. 11, 2015, photos were takenof a dozer re-opening a closed roadin order to gain access to a wildfire.In one photo, three Forest Servicepickups and one Forest Service fireengine were parked with several Forest Service employees standing andwatching the dozer. This dozer operator was hired to travel up and openthe road. When they are done fightingthe fire, it will most likely be re-closed.Is closing, opening and then againclosing roads a good use of tax dollars?Are the new bills in Congress goingto be paying for these sorts of things?

The issue isn't a lack of funding, it's alack of efficient use of the funds giventhem.

The ideology behind protecting public lands is a dream that doesn't factorin reality. The reality of financialsituations, public safety, the realitythat these lands were intended tosupport local economies. The realitythat without logging, without restoration and without active management,we will continue to choke on more andmore smoke and burn up more andmore tax dollars on idiotic actions likeI explained above. Eventually therewon't be communities to protect fromfires and the Forest Service won't haveany reason to exist anymore.

EUGENE — Oregon coach Mark Helfrich wouldn't comment Tuesday on a report that quarterback Vernon AdamsJr. has a broken indexfinger on his right hand.

CSNNWcom cited multiple sources in revealing thatAdams' finger was broken.

Adams finished with 309 yards passing in the 31-28loss to the now fourth-ranked Michigan State Spartans onSaturday. Adams wore gloves and was seen examining thefinger on the sideline during the game. Afterward, the fingerwas wrapped in a splint.

The No. 12 Ducks don't comment on injuries as a policy,which Helfrich reiterated on the weekly Pac-12 coachesconference call for Saturday's game against Georgia State.

Adams apparently injured the finger in Oregon's opener,a 61-42 victory over Eastern Washington.

Adams insisted the finger was all right following thegame against the Spartans. But offensive coordinator ScottFrost said he wasn't 100 percent against the Spartans.

eWe don't talk about injuries here, but he wasn't himselfduring that game. That's not an excuse. You won't find onegame in college football where there isn't somebody playingthat's hurt," Frost said.

The Ducks 11-1l rallied late with Adams'15-yard touchdown pass to Byron Marshall with 3:25 remaining. Oregondrove to the Spartans'33 on its next drive, butAdams overthrew Marshall before he was sacked for a loss of 10, and hispass on fourth-and-16 was incomplete.

McCrae said it's difficultto predict how much timberthose lands will yield, but asa rough estimate, he said it'spossible that 15 million boardfeet to 20 m illion board-feetwill be cut.

That's more timber thanwas harvested from privateland in all of Baker County inany of the past several years.

The average annual harvest fiom private forests, fiom2010-14, was 2.85 millionboard-feet.

The peak year during thatperiod was 2014, when private forests in Baker Countyproduced 4.86 million boardfeet of tim ber.

The Forestry Departmentdistinguishes between twotypes of private forest owners— industrial and other.

Industrial includes landowned by corporations, McCrae said. The other categoryis property owned by individuals or families.

The forests burned in theCornet/Windy Ridge fireincludes both categories,McCrae said. The largestindustrial owner is HancockTimberland Inc., which ownsseveral thousand acres of forest previously owned by BoiseCascade.

McCrae said timber ownersin both categories lost notonly mature trees but alsohundreds of acres of youngtrees that the owners had replanted after the 1989 DooleyMountain fire burned acrosstheir properties.

"That's a humongous lossin those replanted areas," McCrae said.

The affected landownershad hoped, by logging those

areas in the future, to recoupthe cost of planting and maintaining the trees.

Now they11 have to spendeven more money to replant again, with no loggingrevenue to offset the cost,McCrae said.

Although the Forest Practices Act doesn't require alllandowners to replant aftersalvage logging, McCrae saidevery one that he is workingwith will replant to ensuretheir properties will continueto grow trees.

The Forest PracticesActmandates properly owners toreplant after salvage loggingif the revenue fiom the logsexceeds the combined cost tocut those trees and to replant,McCrae said.

In cases where the loggingand replanting cost exceedsthe value of the salvaged timber, the property owner isn't

legally required to replant, hesald.

McCrae said that althoughthe fire burned with varyingseverity across the 162 squaremiles, in general forests thathad been thinned relativelyrecently fared better thanstands that had not beenmanaged.

Although the closure ofmany sawmills in Northeastern Oregon over the past25 years — including BakerCity's last mill, the EllingsonLumber Co. facility thatclosed in 1996 — has left theregion with far fewe r loggersand trucking companies,McCrae said owners whoseproperties were burned in theCornet/Windy Ridge fire seemto be finding people to salvagetheir timber.Some of the loggers are

coming fiom as far away asIdaho and Prineville, however.

Contracting with log trucksto haul the timber has beena greater challenge, McCraesald.

Business Oregon createsmanufacturing loan program

Business Oregon, the state's economicdevelopment agency, is launching a$250,000 loan program to help small

grow jobs in Oregon."Manufacturingis a cornerstone of

Oregon's economy and delivers family wagejobs amund the state," said Gov. Kate Brown.awe must make sure our small manufacturers have the tools to compete globally so theycontinue to thrive and grow. This programwill provide these tools to some who traditionally wouldn't have access."

Oregon has about 5,300 manufacturersand 75 percent of them have 20 or feweremployees. When they look to expand,these small companies often don't qualifyfor traditional commercial loan programs.The Small Manufacturing Business Expansion Program seeks to fill that gap forsix to 12 companies.

awe're a state that still makes thingsand ships them around the world," saidSean Robbins, Business Oregon's director."From semiconductors to wood products toocean going ships, Oregon's middle class isfueled by manufacturing."

USDA adds more eligiblecommodities for facility loans

FSA's Farm Storage Facility Loanprogram, which provides low-interestfinancing to producers to build or upgradestorage facilities, will now include dairy,flowers and meats as eligible commodities.

For 15 years, the FSFL program has provided affordable financing, allowing American farmers and ranchers to construct orexpand storage on the farm and by addingeligible commodities; these low-interestloans will help even more family farmersand ranchers to expand on-site storage.

The new commodities eligible for facility loans include floriculture, hops, rye,milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, meat andpoultry, eggs and aquaculture. Commodities already eligible for the loans includecorn, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, oats,peanuts, wheat, barley, minor oilseedsharvested as whole grain, pulse crops, hay,honey, renewable biomass, and fruits, nutsand vegetables for cold storage facilities.

Producers do not need to demonstratethe lack of commercial credit availabilityto apply. The loans are designed to assista diverse range of farming operations,including small- and mid-sized businesses,new farmers, operations supplying localfood and farmers markets, non-traditionalfarm products and underserved producers.

WASHINGTON — Food manufacturers must be more vigilantabout keeping their operationsclean under new governmentsafety rules released Thursdayin the wake of deadly foodborneillness outbreaks linked to icecream, caramel apples, cantaloupes and peanuts.

Merri Williams, owner of One &Only, a custom bridal and formalwear business, admits that beforetaking NEOEDD's Business Foundations workshop series, she hadnot considered how much it reallytakes to start a business financiallyor how to project a break-evenpoint.

"I hadn't thought about howmuch income I needed to generatein order to make my bills and thatI couldn't figure out ahead of time

what I could do to make that happen," she said in an NEOEDD pressrelease.

She started her downtown LaGrande business because she has"always had a love for formal wearand design," but the education fromthe workshops has helped equip herto be a better business owner.

Williams had no problem committing to the free six-week workshop series."In fact, after the classes were

LaGrande Observer

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2015YOUR 8IRTH DAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you do not always strike the

most impressive figure to those who are firstmeeting you. Indeed, some may even overlook you entirely, mistaking you for someonewho may never count or matter. The truth,however, is that while you may not make thebest first impression, anyone who spends anytime with you at all will recognize that thereis much going on beneath the surface, thatyou are destined for something quite remarkable and that you may be able to do virtuallyanything you set your mind to in life. You donot go out ofyour wayto impress or to distinguish yourself; rather, you go about yourbusiness quietlyand let your actions speak foryou.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER17VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your par

ticipation makes a big difference to someonewho is trying to raise the bar and open a fewnew doors for him- or herself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - You've been

going over the same ground again and againwith little or no progress. Surely it's time for anew approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Put yourmoney where your mouth is - or at least letsomeone else know that you're ready to commit when the time comes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Yourapproach may be unusually aggressive, butyou may still not achieve all your objectives.You'll mellow again soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Othersare interested in knowing just what you areup to, but you're more interested in keepingthings under wraps for now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You'll beeager to look into a certain situation morethoroughly, to see ifyou can't come up with asingle answer to all questions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may besuffering at this time from a crumbling senseof what is right and what is wrong. Don't letyourselfbecome overly emotional.

ARIES (March 21-Apru 19) — Others will

COPYRIGHT2015 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE INCDISIRIBUIED BYUNIVERSAL UCLICK FOR UFSlllOWA 5 K » Qp M O 64106 800255 67l4

by Stella Wilder

be paying attention to what you do and, moreimportant, howyou do it. Yourunique style isattracting much attention.

TAURUS (Aprii 20-May 20) — You arekeeping certain things under wrapsverywell,but someone may discover something youreally don't want known.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You canafford to be frank and straightforward, espe

cially when you are asked for your professional opinion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You mayhave to step in and ease tension between twoparties who have been duking it out over amatter of personal taste.

LEO (Juiy23-Aug. 22) - You don't have somuch invested in a certain situation that youcannot back out when the time comes andleave it to someone else.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER17, 2015YOUR 8IRTH DAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you enjoy adventure, but you

will rarely sacrifice your personal safety orthe safety of others in pursuit of an adventurous lifestyle. What you do enjoy is exploring,from a distance, the kind of exciting and evendangerous endeavors that are enjoyed by others i n o ther words, living vicariouslythrough those who are willing to take thekinds of risks that you are not. You do not,however, want to do everything "secondhand"; on the contrary, you can often befound on the front lines ofcampaigns that aremore idealistic and intellectual than physical,as you have a fine mind and the ability tograsp and communicate the most complex

concepts and ideas.FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There will

be no shortage of things to capture your

attention and fire your imagination. Takeadvantage of as many as you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You know

that you're sitting in just the right position,but there are some who do not understandyour methods or motives.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A memorystirs something deep inside that has youthinking of how things might have been.Memory Lane can be a dangerous road!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Yourduties will require you to acknowledge somethings you usually don't spend much timethinking about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Youdon't always have to follow the same familiarpatterns. Indeed, it is a good day to shakethings up a little.

A QUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) T h eanswers you seek are there for you, but youmay not know where to look at least not asthe day opens. Stay calm and take your time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your learning curve may be an issue. You can't force

yourselfto absorb information, but you musttry to pick up the pace.

ARIES (March 21-Apru 19) Those in

by Stella Wilder

your care are keenly interested in doingsomething again that was of great enjoymentnot long ago. Are you up for it?

TAURUS (Aprii 20-May 20) Your plansare surely subject to change, as always, butthere is one certain variable that may be giving you fits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You're eagerto tend to business and move on to otherthings, but someone else is not moving asefficiently as you would like.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ownexpectations may be locking you in to a lineof thought that doesn't serve you well. It'stime to let go ofthem for good!

LEO (Juiy 23-Aug. 22) You can saymuch with very few words particularly ifyou continue to do things that reflect yourown ideals clearly and confidently.

SB — THE OBSERVER s BAKER CITY HERALD COFFEE BREAK WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2015

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITYPractice makes perfect whenpolishing your social skills

been short with me and my wife ever since.I want to continue to develop whatIhave

with my biological father, but I'm not surehow to handle Mom i f she's going to be sohurt and upset over it. Can you advise?

DEARANDY: Tell your mother you havenoticed a change in her behavior, and feelthat she is punishing you for having an inter

est in knowing your biologicalfather. If that's the case, in the

DEAR future do not discuss anyABBY thin g about Frank with her

DEARABBY:I'm 18 years old, and I wantto know how I can make my life easier andnot be as shy asIam. I have a lot of friends atschool, but they're not popular either. I wantto still have those friends, but I'd like to beable strike up conversations with other people.W hen I try, I get nervous and chicken out.

I want to improve my communicationskills and come across as m ore friendly andnatural. My aunt told me youhave a booklet that can help.Ifyou do, how do I get one?

— NICOLE FROMNEVADA

DEAR NICOLE: Everybodywants to be well-liked, accepted, feel needed,appreciated — and of course, loved. It's essential to a person's self-esteem to know otherpeople think they're worth having as a friend.

Ifyou thinkyou're alone in being shy, let meassure you that you have lots of company. Noone emerges fiom the womb knowing how tobe social. It's a skill that has to be developed.Like you, many others could use a little coaching on how to be the kind of person others findattractive, interesting and worth knowing.

Achieving it isn't always easy becausesocial skills don't come naturally to everyone.My booklet"How to Be Popular" contains tipson how to approach others, and what to sayand not say when trying to make conversation.

DEARABBY:I have recently begun arelationship with my biological father,"Frank,"after not seeing him since I was 4.My mother and stepfather raised me and Iam very close to them. But after talking toFrank and meeting him face to face, I havegotten close to him as well.

His relationship with Mom ended badly.They were very young and he takes all theblame. Mom has always said that ifI have arelationship with Frank, she wants no partofit. After I told her I have been talking tohim for two years, she became upset and has

since she has made clear thatshe doesn't want to hear it.

If you haven't discussed this with yourstepfather, please consider enlisting his helpbecause he may be able to explain your feelings to your mother better than you can.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a few months pregnantand marr7'ed to a man I love with all myheart. We have a young son together. Forthe last couple of months, I have had severemorning sickness, and my husband seems toresent mefor it. He complains that I"don'tdo anything anymore,"butIhave been soillthat some days it's all I can do to get to workin the morning. I try to help out as much as Ican, butit doesn't seem to be enough.

Lately he has shown nointerestin me or thepregnancy. He won'tgo with me to doctors'appointments, no longer asks me about them, andrefuses even to discusspossible names for ournew baby. I have been to the emergency roomtwice, once for dehydrution and then for a caraccident. He showed up only afterIbegged himto come. When my mom showed up, he couldn'tget out of there fast enough.

He has been very secretive with his phonelately and has been working longer and laterhours than usual. I don't know what to do.I'm scared that he doesn't want me anymore.Am I being a hormonal, paranoid wreck, oris something bad going on here?

DEAR EMOTIONAL MESS: You need toconfront your husband with that question.His behavior is the opposite of supportive.Whether it is because he is immature or because he is seeing someone else is anybody'sguess. But a change ofbehavior this drasticon so many levels is certainly cause forconcern — and pretending you don't noticewon't fix whatever is going on.

Brandon Beavers,an education major, said he had aclass with Lamb last year.

"It was like that class youlook forward to," Beaverssaid."It was just cool."

However, he said Lambseemed agitated.

"He was really jittery, likethere was something wrongwith him," Beavers said."Hewas never in a bad mood, buthe was real shaky."

One of Lamb's longtimefriends described himTuesday as smart, charismatic and funny. Hairstonand Lamb both grew up inGreenville, Mississippi.

Carla Hairston said shewas 15 and Lamb was 20when they met throughm utual friends. She and herfriends were in high school,and he was the cool older guywho tried for several yearsto teach her to play guitar.He was a good teacher butshe was an uncoordinatedstudent, she said.

"He was quite the heartthrob back then. All the girlswould melt when he wasaround," said Hairston, now40 and living in the Jacksonsuburb of Brandon.

"He had the Elvis effect,"Hairston said."His voice wasjust like velvet, and peoplejust loved to hear him talk."

Hairston said even whenshe wanted to be a rebellious teen and stay out late,Lamb made sure she and herfriends went home by curfew.She said he was whip smartand would often quote songlyrics in conversation.
