A12 COFFEE BREAK East Oregonian Saturday, February 5, 2022 DEAR ABBY Former spouses ready to try again after 16 years DEAR ABBY: I reconnected with my ex-husband, “Liam,” a year ago, 16 years after our divorce. (We hadn’t seen or talked to each other during that time.) He’s remar- ried with four kids; I am single with two kids. We got married when we were young, but we’re now in our early 40s. We know what we want or don’t want in a partner, and know what we will/won’t put up with, etc. Liam is still legally married, and I have been single for a year. He and his wife have been separated almost two years. We have been intimate, which I feel has brought us closer together. We are very compati- ble. We get along well, have the same reli- gious beliefs and we’re both vegetarians. We had a long talk about our future a few days ago and whether we should try to get back together. Both of us feel the same way. We’re still very much in love with each other offl oading his current missus, he needs after all these years. Should we try to get back together when to consult an attorney who specializes the time is right, or should we in family law so he will be fully leave the past behind us and let it prepared for the battle that’s sure go? Any advice is greatly appreci- to lie ahead. ated. — SECOND CHANCE IN DEAR ABBY: I had substance GEORGIA abuse problems in the past.

I know they want what’s best for me, but I don’t want to feel left out of family events or have to end friendships, which feels extreme. — RESPONSIBLE SOCIAL DRINKER DEAR RESPONSIBLE: While your family is well-intentioned, I agree their thinking they can maintain your sobriety “for” you by deciding what you may and may not drink on their premises is extreme. And the decision of who you can safely socialize with should be made by you. This is an important subject you should discuss with your sponsor or the adminis- trators of your substance abuse rehabilita- tion program. Please don’t wait to do it. Not knowing you personally, I cannot — and should not — advise you further than this. DAYS GONE BY 100 years ago — 1922 H. M. Berry and Ray C. Boyce, his partner, were given sentences of fi ve years each this morning in circuit court by Judge Gilbert W. Phelps. The two young men, charged with larceny, escaped from the county jail Saturday morning after sawing their way through bars and battering their way through the ceiling and getting into the court room above. To make their getaway from the circuit court room was a simple matter of walking downstairs, the doors from the court room ordi- narily never being locked. They had only 12 hours of freedom before they were captured by a posse of offi cers. A new metal saw, a window weight taken from the casing, and a cell door which was used as a ladder were the instruments used by the pair of men in their dash for freedom. 50 years ago — 1972 While Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality and the Umatilla County Road Department are studying a proposal for a meat packing plant and adjacent feedlot north- east of Hermiston, opponents of the plant’s location are busy circulating petitions against the plant. Earl Johnston told the Umatilla County Court last week he plans to construct a 35-job, $400,000 meat packing plant and was asking the court to construct an access road to the plant site. When Hugh Burney, who lives at the junction of Columbia Lane and Diag- onal Road, learned of the proposal he started a move to block the plant. Burney says the facility would defl ate the value of the property in the area. He tried to reason with Johnston not to infringe upon his neighbors, but Johnston, according to Burney, maintained there would be no odor from the feedlot or the plant. 25 years ago — 1997 The Beavers are going to be a little more fun to watch for the next few years. This morning Pendleton standout Kyle Rosselle signed a letter of intent to play football for Oregon State and new Head Coach Mike Riley this fall. Rosselle gained a lot of attention when he was named Intermountain Conference Defensive Player of the Year for his eff orts as a defensive end. He also made the second team on off ense as a tight end. Rosselle has been one of the most highly recruited players to come out of Pendleton. A partial list of schools that wanted him for their football program include: Yale, Cornell, Stanford, Boise State and Cal-Poly. Stanford wanted to fl y him down on an offi cial visit, but Rosselle would have had to miss two basketball games. As the starting center for the Bucks, he said he didn’t want to do that. The Stanford recruiter was going to make the trip to Pendleton but he got stuck in the snow in Colorado, so Rosselle met with Riley instead. THIS DAY IN HISTORY In 1811, George, the Prince of Wales, was named Prince Regent due to the mental illness of his father, Britain’s King George III. In 1917, the U.S. Congress passed, over President Wood- row Wilson’s veto, an act severely curtailing Asian immigration. In 1918, during World War I, the Cunard liner SS Tuscania, which was trans- porting about 2,000 Amer- ican troops to Europe, was torpedoed by a German U-boat in the Irish Sea with the loss of more than 200 people. In 1922, the fi rst edition of Reader’s Digest was published. In 1937, President Frank- lin D. Roosevelt proposed increasing the number of U.S. Supreme Court justices; the proposal, which failed in Congress, drew accusations that Roosevelt was attempt- ing to “pack” the nation’s highest court. In 1971, Apollo 14 astro- nauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell stepped onto the surface of the moon in the fi rst of two lunar excursions. In 1973, services were held at Arlington National Cemetery for U.S. Army Col. William B. Nolde, the last offi cial American combat casualty before the Vietnam cease-fi re took eff ect. In 1983, former Nazi Gestapo official Klaus Barbie, expelled f rom Bolivia, was brought to Lyon (lee-OHN’), France, to stand trial. (He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison — he died in 1991.) In 1993, President Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act, granting workers up to 12 weeks unpaid leave for family emergencies. In 1994, white separatist Byron De La Beckwith was convicted in Jackson, Missis- sippi, of murdering civil rights leader Medgar Evers in 1963, and was immediately sentenced to life in prison. (Beckwith died Jan. 21, 2001 at age 80.) In 2008, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a guru to the Beatles who introduced the West to transcendental medi- tation, died at his home in the Dutch town of Vlodrop; he was believed to be about 90.
