Main St., Hermiston Some addictions are smellier than others E astern Oregon native Dennis Dauble will be the first to admit he’s an addict. But what sets his fingers to itching isn’t another drink, or that next pull on the one-armed bandit — it’s the siren song of moving water, of the perfect cast into a honey hole, of the anticipation of that next strike. He’s got fishing on the brain, and he’s got the stories to prove it. Dauble shares his humorous take on what makes lovers of the sport get up before the crack of dawn to huddle in misery with questionable companions in his latest compilation of short stories, “One More Last Cast: On the Addictive Nature of Fishing.” Whether it’s salmon in Alaska, surf perch on the Oregon Coast or simply drifting a lure through a riffle on the Touchet River, Dauble finds the funny side of his many adventures — on the water and off — with his favorite compatriots.

Justin Timberlake: ‘I had no idea’ voting selfie was illegal NEW YORK (AP) — Justin Timberlake has some advice for taking part in the presidential election next month: Vote, but don’t take a selfie while you’re doing it. A ballot box selfie Timberlake took as he voted in his native Tennessee earlier this week apparently violated a new state law that bars voters from taking photographs or video while they’re inside a polling place. The picture prompted a reminder of the law from state officials. The singer and actor addressed the controversy during an appearance on “The Tonight Show” Wednesday, telling host Jimmy Fallon he thought he was inspiring people with the picture and “had no idea” it was illegal.
