Jan 9-15, 2009 RIDE ‘EM, COWBOY! (continued): wide detours in order to find water and open grazing land.• The Singing Cowboy is not a Hollywood creation; cow punchers had been warbling to their herds long before Gene Autry ever picked up a guitar. Cattle (and horses) are creatures of habit, and any deviation fromroutine tends to make them skittish. Herds were used to hearing the cowboys call out commands and banter among one another during the day, and during the rela-tively silent nights, any outside noise (like a coyote’showl) made them restless. As a result, the cowpoke on night watch would sing or recite hymns and verses to keep the animals reassured by a human voice.• America’s favorite cowboy actor, Roy Rogers, was really a Cincinnati-born man named Leonard Slye. His first film role of note was in support of Gene Autry. Once that the studio realized that Slye had matinee idol potential, they gave him a new name that they feltwould look better on a marquee: Roy Rogers.• Why did cowboys of the Old West always wear leather vests? The obvious answer is that they protected the body against the inevitable bumps and bruises associated with the cowboy life. But equally as important to most cowboys was the fact that vests had interior pockets where they could keep their matches, tobacco, and cigarette papers dry.• Although today they’re worn more as a fashion state-ment, the footwear now known as cowboy boots de-veloped out of practicality. The smooth soles allowed the cowboy to easily slide his feet into the stirrups. The high leather shaft of the boot protected his legsfrom the friction of rubbing against the stirrupleathers. The stacked heel prevented the foot from slid-ing forward through the stirrup (which could be life-threatening if the cowboy became unseated from the saddle). The loose fit and lack of laces allowed rider toslide out of his boots and not be dragged if he was thrown backwards from the saddle.• Some other staples of classic cowboy wardrobe were a bandana and a pair of chaps. The bandana was draped around the neck so that it could be quickly pulled up around the nose and mouth as a makeshift mask during dust storms (or in other unpleasantly odorous conditions). The heavy leather chaps protectedtheir legs from prickly scrub brush and cactus, as well as the occasional snakebite.• The Boss of the Plains isn’t a “who,” but a “what.” It’s the nickname that was given to the Stetson hat that many cowboys relied upon. John B. Stetson grew up in New Jersey and learned hat-making from his father. Illhealth forced him to travel West in search of a drier climate. In 1862, Stetson designed the famous hat that eventually bore his name.• Stetson’s first customers were gold miners who camped outdoors as they traversed the Rocky Moun-tains looking for riches. As legend has it, a rough-look-ing horseman approached Stetson one day and offered him a $5 gold piece for his hat. Soon, other cowboyswere placing orders for “Stetsons.” The hats kept the sun and rain off their faces and necks, and were sturdy enough to be used to haul water or fan the flames of a campfire.• The chuck wagon has been around since about 1866. “Cookie” (as the chef was often called) worked longer hours and got less sleep than the rest of the cowboys. He had to rise at 3 a.m. to fire up the stove and prepareand cook the food… starting with scratch biscuits. When the outfit hit the trail, the chuck wagon hurried to arrive at the destination ahead of time so that the food was ready when the cowboys arrived at camp.• Arbuckle’s was the Starbucks of the Old West. Until the mid-19th century, coffee beans were sold “green,” and consumers roasted them in a skillet before grind-ing and boiling. In 1865, the Arbuckle brothers ofPittsburgh patented a process of roasting and coating coffee beans, then packing them in air-tight pack-ages. Their coffee beans proved popular among chuck wagon cooks of the era, and “I need my morning Ar-buckle’s!” became something of a cowboy catchphrase

• Beef was in ready supply on the cattle trail, so fried steaks, pot roast, beef stew, and short ribs were com-mon entrees on the menu. Beans and sourdough bis-cuits were served on the side. Pie, with apple or some other fruit, was a typical dessert. Cowboys loved theirmeals so much that they observed certain rules of eti-quette while physically near the chuck wagon. Kicking up dust was taboo, for instance, since it might get in the food.• The practice of branding calves developed during the mid-1880s, when cattle freely grazed on grassy plains in Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. Cowboys had to drive herds across long distances, and hungry cattlewould often mingle with other ranchers’ cows when searching for food. The ownership brands on the bovines made it possible for cowpokes to dis-tinguish the animals under their care from those owned by others.

Now would be a good time to pick up your fishing and shellfish licenses and tags for 2009. Visit your local retailer, ODFW or purchase on-line. The 2009 Sport Fishing Regulations have been printed and are now available at all ODFW offices and retail outlets. Pick up a copy today! Weekendfishingopportunities: Early hatchery winter steelhead fisheries should be peaking over the next two to three weeks. Look for streams such as Big Creek, Necanicum River, North Fork Nehalem River, Kilchis River, Wilson River and Nestucca River to produce fish. Projected warmer weather could lead to rising rivers as snow melts- check river conditions before heading out.NORTH COAST LAKES Surplus adult hatchery summer steelhead have been stocked in Town Lake and Cape Meares Lake. Trout stocking will not begin until March.WARM WATER FISH ANGLING OPPORTUNITIES The mid coast has numerous lakes or reservoirs which offer good angling for naturally produced warm water fish species such as large mouth bass, yellow perch, bluegill, brown bullhead and crappie. Typically the best fishing is from late spring to mid fall while water temperatures are warm. Tactics such as casting or trolling lures, jigging baits near bottom or using the traditional bait and bobber technique are all productive from either a boat or from shore. Below is a list of lakes near local coastal cities that offer warm water angling opportunities.Devils Lake (Lincoln City): Offers fair to good year-round trout fishing and also has slow to fair angling for largemouth bass, yellow perch and bluegill.Big Creek Reservoirs 1 & 2 (Newport): Offers fair large-mouth bass fishing, slow to fair angling for yellow perch and bluegill and good year-round angling for rainbow and cutthroat trout.Olalla Reservoir (Toledo): Offers fair largemouth bass fishing, slow to fair angling for yellow perch, bluegill and brown bullhead and good year-round angling for rainbow and cutthroat trout.ALSEA RIVER: winter steelhead Winter steelhead fishing has kicked in as weather and river conditions have been favorable recently. Anglers are having fair to good success in the mid to lower river early on. Good numbers typically reach the North Fork by mid January.BIG CREEK, GNAT CREEK, NF KLASKANINE: Some winter steelhead are being caught. Good numbers of hatch-ery fish should be available. These streams are among the quickest to clear after high water events. Anglers may call 503-458-6529 for recorded fishing information at Big Creek Hatchery.SILETZ RIVER: winter steelhead fishing has picked up recently as river conditions have improved for angling. Steelhead can be found throughout most of the river with good bank and boat opportunities from Morgan Park up to Moonshine Park. During higher flows, anglers should focus on angling above the town of Siletz.SIUSLAW RIVER: winter steelheadFair to good winter steelhead angling has been reported in the lower Siuslaw and Lake Creek following recent rain events. This run typically is later than most with peak returns to trapping facilities starting in late January. The best early opportunity will be in the lower rivers.

Lower Rates Benefit Home Owners by Chris Orchard

It is true the rates did drop! This time the Mortgage rates have been lowered and not just the Fed spend-ing rate. This rate has gone down to the low 5s a drop that is whole percent from previous weeks. This is in the markets of both conventional and government loans for primary homes as well as second homes and investment properties. THIS WINDOW OF OPPOR-TUNITY MAY NOT LAST LONG. Refinance Options – The 1% reduction in rates can mean a savings of approximately $100 a month on a loan amount of $150,000. This varies depending on ‘your’ loan amount and equity. This is an Excellent time to review and re-align your finances. For some this is an excellent time to simply reduce your rate and improve your savings ability. This makes it a good opportunity to purchase. If you have been sitting on the fence unsure of what to do and you feel you are positioned to buy this is a great time to explore that desire. There are many loan programs available for you. Your loan specialist will talk to you about what fits your needs. Meet with a local realtor to view property and see what is available. For the person looking to buy a second home or invest-ment property the same great rates are available. Visit our local realtors to look at some of the properties available to make this dream come true.

All Retirements Are Not Created Equal Not all of us are retired. Many seniors are just now wrapping up long careers or are going back to work for economic reasons. Some of us are looking for a different way to spend our retirement years."What's Next In Your Life? How to Find Meaning Beyond the Money" is about how to retire in a new way -- without the stress that often comes with such a drastic change of life. We face new daily routines, plans that don't pan out, the loss of identity if it was tied with our profession, and disappoint-ments in the choices we thought we'd be happy with. Then there's the simple fact of money: If we don't have enough to retire, we have to keep working.Many of us want to keep working, though, apart from finan-cial reasons. The authors quote a study that revealed that 71 percent of us plan to keep working after we retire, and of those, a whopping 66 percent want to have a new profes-sion. The question this book helps answer is: How do we know what to do next?Whether you're retired or just thinking about it, take a look at this book. Written by Joan Strewler-Carter and Stephen T. Carter, "What's Next" (Rockhill Books) comes with a manual and a Web site. The manual guides you step by step through forming a new life plan by looking at the non-finan-cial aspects of retirement.The Web site [www.whatsnextinyourlife.com] has a host of additional tools, resources and ideas. Don't miss "Road Trip" and "Time Calculator" under the planning tools. The results can be very revealing. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Write to her in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Ongoing Ear Infection Frustrates Dog Owner

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My little dog "Sandy," a 3-year-old Shih Tzu, has had an ongoing ear infection for the past four months. The vet said it was a yeast infection and gave me some drops for it. It cleared quickly, but within two weeks it was back again. This time the vet suggested I change his dog food, along with giving him the drops again, so now he is on a grain-free dog food. It cleared up for a while, but it is back again. Any suggestions on what to do now? -- Donna, via e-mail DEAR DONNA: Keep trying! Continue working with your vet to fi nd a solution to Sandy's recurring ear infections. It may take a combination of treatments to stop them from happening, including a change in diet (such as the prescribed grain-free diet), drops or oral medication. Signs of an ear infection in a dog typically include head shaking, yellow or brown "gunk" in the ears, a yeast-like smell, redness and swelling. Causes include debris or water in the ears, allergies, or unexplained factors.Shih Tzus are prone to ear infections because of the shape of their ears, and because of the long hair growing over the ears -- fl uids don't drain from their ears as easily. Owners must clear the hair from their dogs' ears frequently and must be sure to dry their dogs' ears after swimming or bathing.Dogs like Sandy who have repeat infections may benefi t from having the hair clipped away from around their ears (let the veterinarian do this). Sandy may be given a long-term course of treatment, too -- usually oral medication. In severe cases, vets may recommend surgery to reconstruct the ear canal to improve drainage, but this should be considered only when other avenues have been exhausted.Send your tips, questions and comments to Paw's Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
