COFFEE BREAK Saturday, June 5, 2021 East Oregonian A11 DEAR ABBY Girlfriend maintains a ‘fan club’ on Facebook Dear Abby: I’ve been dating the same woman for more than two years. She is a beautiful lady who has quite a few male “fans” on Facebook, mostly from before we met. What bothers me, and I don’t under- stand why, is her habit of posting selfi es and then loving the comments from other men about her looks. We have discussed this many times, but she can’t seem to stop. Other than this, we seem to have a healthy relationship with the occasional, normal hiccups. I would like to take it to the next level, but I can’t help wondering if the Facebook habit is a sign that she needs more than what our relationship is giving her. Please advise. — Hesitant in Ohio Dear Hesitant: Her Facebook habit may be a sign that your lady friend is insecure — or conceited — about her looks, which is for all our meals. why she encourages these “fans” by “heart- Hank has been waiting the last three ing” their comments.

The person next to me is diabetic and wears a beeper that goes off all day long. Am I supposed to endure this annoying sound even though she can put it on vibrate? — Disturbed in Texas Dear Disturbed: No, you are not. Ask your co-worker if putting her beeper on vibrate would work for her, because the sound distracts you. If she’s willing to do that, your problem is solved. However, if she isn’t, then it may be time to discuss this with your supervisor or employer because it may be possible to relocate your workstation to another area. DAYS GONE BY From the East Oregonian 100 Years Ago June 5, 1921 Eight hits garnered off of Gartiez and Kelly, coupled with errors on the part of Helix players enabled Captain Gunner Peterson’s Buckaroos to win yesterday’s contest with the Indi- ans, and incidentally, the pennant in the Wheat Belt League. The fi nal score was 12 to 6. Yesterday’s victory makes the Bucks’ percentage a perfect one with six victories to their credit, and they have won the pennant. Only one more game remains on the schedule, that with Weston set for Sunday at Weston. An eff ort may be made to arrange with the Weston management to play the game one night this week which will enable the Bucks to play a few games of independent ball. 50 Years Ago June 5, 1971 There are no “Don’t feed the bears” signs in the Toll- gate area, but it might be a good idea. Cindy Hunkapillar, a McEwen High School freshman, and her girlfriends were enjoying a party arranged as a farewell for Judy Christianson in a cabin near Tollgate Wednesday evening. Cindy tossed into the snow a batch of taff y that hadn’t turned out well. A bit later someone looked out the window and saw a full-grown brown bear approaching the candy. Finishing the sweets, he ambled up onto the cabin porch to fi nish off bacon bits and bread crumbs put out tor the bluejays. Then he reared up, put his big paws on the window and peered in as the girls huddled around their chaperone, Mrs. Chet Hunkapillar. Then he went to the door, to another window and fi nally to a second entrance to the cabin before he left. It was just too, too much. When the bear left, so did the girls. 25 Years Ago June 5, 1996 Offi cer Tod Keppinger is enjoying the stealth nature of his new assignment as Hermiston’s motorcycle cop. Most motor- ists haven’t noticed Keppinger observing traffi c on his police motorcycle, but they sure notice him when the lights go on and the siren sounds. “I defi nitely have the element of surprise,” Keppinger said. On his new motorcycle patrol, Keppinger will focus on increasing awareness of traffi c laws and catching violators of those laws. Riding the motorcycle eight hours a day is physically demanding, he said, adding he’s fi nding out he has muscles he didn’t know he had. “I thought it would be easier,” Keppinger said while clad in knee-high black boots and an emerging farmer’s tan on his arms. THIS DAY IN HISTORY On June 5, 1967, war er upted in the Middle East as Israel, anticipat- ing a possible attack by its Arab neighbors, launched a series of pre-emptive airfi eld st r i kes that dest royed nearly the entire Egyptian air force; Syria, Jordan and Iraq immediately entered the confl ict. In 1794, Congress passed the Neutrality Act, which prohibited Americans from taking part in any military action against a country that was at peace with the United States. In 1912, U.S. Marines landed in Cuba at the order of President William Howard Taft to ensure order and protect U.S. interests. In 1917, about 10 million American men between the ages of 21 and 31 began registering for the draft in World War I. In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Henderson v. United States, struck down racially segregated railroad dining cars. In 1964, The Rolling Stones performed the first concert of their fi rst U.S. tour at Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, California. In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was shot and mortally wounded after claiming victory in Califor- nia’s Democratic presidential primary at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles; assas- sin Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was arrested at the scene. In 1981, the Centers for Disease Control reported that fi ve homosexuals in Los Angeles had come down with a rare kind of pneumonia; they were the fi rst recognized cases of what later became known as AIDS. In 2004, Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, died in Los Angeles at age 93 after a long struggle with Alzhei- mer’s disease. In 2013, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, accused of killing 16 Afghan civil- ians, many of them sleeping women and children, pleaded guilty to murder at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash- ington, to avoid the death penalty; he was sentenced to life in prison.
