A10 COFFEE BREAK East Oregonian Saturday, May 21, 2022 DEAR ABBY College student is tested trying to reason with mom Dear Abby: I am a freshman at a Midwest- ern university, and I love it. I fi nished my fi rst semester with straight A’s, and my second semester has been strong. I have a great group of friends and have already made plenty of memories. My problem is I have been having a disagreement with my mom. I would like to rush a sorority in the fall, and while my dad is fi ne with it, my mother won’t even enter- tain the topic. I’ve never shared a lot with her regarding my social life because she has always been very strict (for instance, my dad knows I enjoy tailgating and partying as long as my grades are good). I am very responsible and always take care of everything that needs to be completed before I let myself have fun. Dad knows this and trusts me. However, I couldn’t fathom telling my mom about it. want to go behind her back, because I think I think part of the problem is she grew up that would only do more harm than good. abroad, and when she came to the How should I navigate this conver- U.S. for college in the 1990s, she sation? — Going Greek?

I don’t addressing the subject with your mother, so you can allay any concerns she has. Dear Abby: My 27-year-old daughter has issues due to a bitter divorce between her father and me. She treats us poorly, blames her problems on us and feels she is justi- fi ed. How do I handle this? I don’t think she respects either of us much. As for our relation- ship, we get along as long as things are going OK for her. But if she’s having a diffi cult day, I get the blame. Advice? — Cold-Shouldered In New York Dear Cold-Shouldered: Tolerating your daughter’s behavior isn’t healthy for either of you. Encourage her to seek professional help for her “issues,” and when she starts the blame game or being disrespectful, shorten the visit, end the phone call or otherwise distance yourself. DAYS GONE BY 100 years ago — 1922 The honor of being the fi rst car to come over the Old Oregon Trail highway from La Grande to Pendleton for the spring of 1922 on its own power goes to a Studebaker which reported at Steele’s service station this morning. The trip from the Union county seat to Pendleton required just four hours for the car. During the summer season when the road is in good condition, the drive this way is easily made in two and one-half hours. The driver of the machine, whose name was not secured, reported that the sunshine of the past few days is doing wonders in the way of drying up the mud which has been the chief decoration of the highway on the high part of the old trail. It will not be long, under present conditions, he declared, until it will be easy for cars to make the trip. 50 years ago — 1972 Local Army representative Sgt. Jerald Schmadeka announced today the formation of a platoon consisting of young men from this area to be enlisted for the 9th Division being formed at Ft. Lewis, Wash. Young men volunteering for this enlistment program are eligible to select their basic training location and are guaranteed at least sixteen months of their enlistment will be spent together in the 9th Division. This option is available to unlimited numbers of young men desiring to remain in the same unit for basic training and throughout their fi rst sixteen months of service. 25 years ago — 1997 In early February, Horizon Air, the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport’s only carrier, cut the number of fl ights arriving and departing. For nearly a year, seven planes were landing and departing daily in Pendleton. After the cut, only four 17-seater planes touch down and take off every day. It’s been a bumpy ride for airport Manager Larry Dalrymple, who marked the end of 1996 with a 15-year passenger high of 12,921. “The need, desire and ridership is here. Four Metros a day is less than we can tolerate,” he said of the reduced sched- ule. Dalrymple’s frustration will be short lived, according to Horizon Air. The airline is in the process of getting rid of the smaller Metroliner and will replace them with the 37-seater Dehaviland Dash 8s by March 1998. “The short term prob- lem will be fi xed in the next 10 months,” Patrick Zachwieja, vice-president of marketing and planning for Horizon Air, said. Since one of the larger planes will eventually be based in Pendleton, Zachwieja contends Horizon is making a signif- icant $10 million investment in the region. THIS DAY IN HISTORY In 1471, King Henry VI of England died in the Tower of London at age 49. In 1542, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto died while searching for gold along the Mississippi River. In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross. In 1924, in a case that drew much notori- ety, 14-year-old Bobby Franks was murdered in a “thrill killing” carried out by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb (Bobby’s cousin). In 1927, Charles A. Lind- bergh landed his Spirit of St. Louis monoplane near Paris, completing the first solo airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 33-½ hours. In 1932, Amelia Earhart became the fi rst woman to fl y solo across the Atlantic Ocean as she landed in North- ern Ireland, about 15 hours after leaving Newfoundland. In 1941, a German U-boat sank the American merchant steamship SS Robin Moor in the South Atlantic after the ship’s passengers and crew were allowed to board life- boats. In 1955, Chuck Berry recorded his first single, “Maybellene,” for Chess Records in Chicago. In 1972, Michelange- lo’s Pieta, on display at the Vatican, was damaged by a hammer-wielding man who shouted he was Jesus Christ. In 1979, former San Francisco City Supervisor Dan White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the slayings of Mayor George Moscone (mahs-KOH’-nee) and openly gay Supervisor Harvey Milk; outrage over the verdict sparked rioting. (White was sentenced to seven years and eight months in prison; he ended up serv- ing fi ve years and took his own life in 1985.) In 1991, former Indian Pr ime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated during national elections by a suicide bomber. In 2020, President Donald Trump visited a Ford Motor Co. plant outside Detroit that had been repurposed to manufacture ventilators; he did not publicly wear a face mask but said he had worn one while out of public view. A Michigan judge sided with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a challenge by Republican lawmakers to her authority to order sweeping restric- tions during the coronavirus outbreak. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama and other world leaders meeting in Chicago locked in place an Afghanistan exit path that would keep their troops fi ght- ing there for two more years. Former Rutgers University student Dharun Ravi, who used a webcam to spy on his gay roommate, Tyler Clem- enti, who then committed suicide, was sentenced to 30 days in jail (he served 20). A Yemeni man detonated a bomb during a rehearsal for a military parade, killing 96 fellow soldiers; al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen claimed responsibility. Five years ago: Presi- dent Donald Trump, visit- ing Riyadh, implored Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries to extin- guish “Islamic extremism” emanating from the region. North Korea fi red a solid- fuel ballistic missile, saying the test was hailed as perfect by leader Kim Jong Un. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus received its fi nal standing ovation as it performed its last show at the Nassau County Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, ending a 146-year run. One year ago: Thousands of Palestinians rallied after a cease-fi re took eff ect in the Church Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church 565 W. HERMISTON AVE. latest Gaza war; the 11 days of fighting left more than 250 people dead, the vast majority Palestinians, and brought widespread destruc- tion to the Gaza Strip. Presi- dent Joe Biden said there had been no shift in his commit- ment to Israel’s security, but that a two-state solution that includes a state for Pales- tinians remained “the only answer” to that conf lict. Authorities said the two Bureau of Prisons workers who were supposed to be guarding Jeff rey Epstein the night he killed himself in a New York jail had admitted that they falsifi ed records, but that they would be spared prison time under a deal with federal prosecutors; the workers were accused of sleeping and browsing the internet instead of monitor- ing Epstein.
