Pearl Harbor Day, 75 years later
by Jack Brummet
Remembering Pearl Harbor. My Uncle Bill enlisted in the Navy the next day (I think!). Both of my parents enlisted―father in the navy too (he had already served in the army) and my mother Betty in the Marine Corps.
My mother remembers Japanese kids being led out of Ballard High later, on their way to the internment camps. Some of the students lined up and booed.

Kerry County grants permission to drive drunk
"The Kerry, Ireland, county council voted in January [2013] to let some people drive drunk. The councillors reasoned that in the county’s isolated regions, some seniors live alone and need the camaraderie of the pub but fear a DUI arrest on the way home. The councillors thus empowered police to issue DUI permits to those drivers. Besides, they reasoned, the area is so sparsely-populated that some drivers never encounter anyone else on the road at night. (Coincidentally--or not--"several” of the five councillors voting "yea" own pubs.)" ― Weirduniverse.net and BBC News, 1-22-2013]

A Bend man was impaled in the back by the antlers of an elk he had just shot on Saturday, according to Crook County Sheriff's Office.
Gary Heeter, 69, was hunting in "a very remote location" in the Maury Mountains where he killed an elk. Around noon. as he was dragging the carcass of the animal behind his four-wheeler up a steep hill, the vehicle flipped and he flew back and landed on his dead prey.
Members of the hunting party applied first aid to Heeter to stanch the flow of blood.
"When the deputy arrived at the crash scene," said the sheriff's office, "he found Heeter was conscious and communicative, but appeared to be going into shock."
Heeter was flown to St. Charles Hospital in Bend by a Life Flight helicopter, but not before it had difficulty finding a suitable landing location "due to the rough terrain, which consisted of intermittent forest cover and rocky clearings."
According to KATU, the Crook County Sheriff's Office reports that Heeter is in stable condition.
