Sage grouse are ground- dwelling, chicken-sized birds found in 11 Western states, where as few as 200,000 remain, down from a peak population of about 16 million. The males are known for their strutting courtship ritual on breeding grounds called leks, and they produce a bubble-type sound from a pair of inflated air sacks on their necks. in school and so she could connect with other parents. Her son’s worries about school went away after the program, and she wishes it had been around when her first child entered school. “My son didn’t know anything about school,” Nguyen said. “He was so unsure and kind of afraid. After, he really liked it. They helped him step by step know the rules and routine every day.” Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

The study found that the participants had higher atten- dance rates and better literacy skills than others who did not join the program, The Orego- nian/OregonLive reported Wednesday. The students continued to perform well in later years, according to the study. The study’s lead researcher Beth Tarasawa said students with low attendance and reading skills are more likely to become dropouts, so the findings on the program were exciting. The district had begun the program in 2010 when teachers noticed that students who hadn’t gone through flurries 30s Today Study shows benefits from an Oregon early learning program PORTLAND (AP) — A study has found that an early learning program at Portland Public Schools has been successful. The three-week pre-kin- dergarten program is aimed at students whose primary language is not English and did not attend preschool prior to entering grade school. It’s offered for free at about a dozen high-poverty schools in the district during the summer.

U.S. cattle grazing plan for Idaho craters monument draws criticism Craters of the Moon contains ancient lava flows of rough and jagged rocks, but some areas not covered by the flows are suitable for cattle grazing. The plan reduces by 300 acres the amount of cattle grazing area compared with the previous plan, and it reduces the number of cattle by a small amount. That’s not enough of a change, said Greta Anderson, deputy director for Western Watersheds Project. “Our concerns that the BLM’s 0s showers t-storms Copyright © 2017, EO Media Group BOISE, Idaho — Federal officials on Friday released a cattle grazing plan for central Idaho’s Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve that immediately came under fire from an environmental group. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Final Envi- ronmental Impact Statement allows cattle grazing on nearly all of the roughly 275,000 acres it administers in the monument. The document stems from a federal lawsuit filed by the Western Watersheds Project citing concerns about sage grouse and a subsequent court ruling requiring the federal agency to come up with a new plan. Lisa Cresswell, the planning and environmental coordinator for the Twin Falls District of the BLM, said the document combined with the BLM’s 2015 Greater Sage Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment protects sage grouse habitat while allowing grazing in Craters of the Moon. “We were mostly trying to direct livestock grazing toward (seeded areas) and away from native sage- brush,” she said. -0s Classified & Legal Advertising 1-800-962-2819 or 541-278-2678 classifieds@eastoregonian.com or legals@eastoregonian.com NEWS • To submit news tips and press releases: • call 541-966-0818 • fax 541-276-8314 • email news@eastoregonian.com • To submit community events, calendar items and Your EO News: email community@eastoregonian.com or call Tammy Malgesini at 541-564-4539 or Renee Struthers in at 541-966-0818. • To submit engagements, weddings and anniversaries: email rstruthers@eastoregonian.com or visit www.eastoregonian. com/community/announcements • To submit a Letter to the Editor: mail to Managing Editor Daniel Wattenburger, 211 S.E.

Officers arrested a man Friday afternoon who ran from the train, The Orego- nian/OregonLive reported. Police were still working Friday night to identify the man and the people who were attacked. Before the stabbing the assailant on the train was ranting on many topics, using “hate speech or biased language,” and then turned his focus on the women, police Sgt. Pete Simpson said. “In the midst of his ranting and raving, some people approached him and appeared to try to intervene with his behavior and some of the people that he was yelling at,” Simpson told The Oregonian. “They were attacked viciously.” One person was dead at the scene and another died at a hospital, Simpson said. The third person was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It wasn’t clear why the man was yelling, Simpson said. “He was talking about a lot of different things, not just specifically anti- Muslim,” Simpson said. Police don’t know if the man has mental health “It’s horrific. There’s no other word to describe what happened today.” — Sgt. Pete Simpson, Portland police issues or if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time. The attack happened on a MAX train as it headed east. A train remained stopped on the tracks at a transit center which was closed while police investigated. Evelin Hernandez, a 38-year-old resident of Clackamas, Oregon, told the newspaper she was on the train when the man began making racist remarks to the women. A group of men tried to quiet him and he stabbed them, she said. Simpson said the women understandably left the scene before police were able to talk with them but that they would like to hear from them to help fill in what happened. “It’s horrific,” Simpson said. “There’s no other word to describe what happened today.” Millions of Muslims marked the start of Ramadan Friday, a time of intense prayer, dawn-to- dusk fasting and nightly feasts.
