La Grande is the home to Eastern Oregon University, and the city's downtown is rich in history and economic opportunity. COVE Elgin, the county's northernmost city, is located along the banks of the Grande Ronde River. It began as a trading area in 1882, and throughout the years this community has depended on logging, agriculture and cattle ranches. Abundant recreation opportunities are nearby, and this town is home to the Elgin Opera House, built in 1911, and now provides movies, concerts, lectures and theater events. IMBLER Cove, initially known as "Forest Cove," is nestled at the base of 7,132-foot Mt. Fanny. Cove is well-known for its cherry orchards, Imbler came to be when Jesse Imbler gave ground for this city from his own land in 1891.

In 1863, the U.S. government negotiated a treaty with the Nez Perce, who were left with a reservation in the Idaho Territory. Old Chief Joseph refused to sign the treaty, and the Nez Perce stayed until 1877 when U.S. Army General Oliver Howard gave an ultimatum: the Nez Perce must leave or be forced out. (Old Chief Joseph had died prior to this, in 1871.) Chief Joseph agreed to move, but in Idaho, after a few warriors raided nearby settlements, Howard's troops moved in to punish the bands. The Nez Perce fled to Montana, and then headed for Canada to join Sioux chief Sitting Bull. Their ordeal lasted more than three months and 1,400 miles before the Nez Perce -- hungry, exhausted, and suffering many casualties from the battles -- surrendered, on Oct. 5, 1877. They were 40 miles from the Canada border. Joseph was named for Chief Joseph at the time its post office was established in 1879. Joseph was incorporated in 1887, the same year Wallowa County separated fromUnion County. What began as an agriculture and logging town has transformed into an art center, and in 1999 bronze pieces -- created at the local foundry -- were installed. ENTERPRISE Enterprise is the county seat and largest town with nearly 2,000 residents. It boasts a historic courthouse built in 1909, a hospital, movie theater and fairgrounds. Events include summertime music and farmers markets, Hells Canyon Mule Days, rodeo and a fiddle show. LOSTINE Lostine is home to one of the county's oldest buildings, the Lostine Tavern that was built in the late 1800s. The Lostine United Presbyterian Church as served its congregation for more than 125 years. On Highway 82 is the M. Crow General Store, in operation since 1906. Lostine booms once a year, during the Fourth of July, when the flea market brings vendors from across the country. WALLOWA Wallowa's name comes from the Nez Perce "Wa-Lo-Wah," the name of the tripod used to support fishing nets. This town is 45 miles north of La Grande on Highway 82. In addition to a Fourth of July celebration, Wallowa hosts the annual Tamkaliks Celebration in July to celebrate its cultural heritage. IMNAHA Imnaha is 30 miles east of Joseph on Highway 350, at the confluence of the Imnaha River and Little Sheep Creek. The area is known for fishing and hunting. TROY attracts outdoor enthusiasts for its steelhead runs, fly-fishing, hunting, river rafting and views of wildlife.

You will need to find out what level of road maintenance is provided, and who is responsible for maintenance Also, road damage can occur from inclement weather, flooding and wear-and-tear.

AGRICULTURE Farm and Forest Activities Not all parcels are suitable for building or development. County and state land use laws, zoning classifications, etc., will be factors in how land can be used or subdivided. Permits and Approvals These organizations often have covenants that include specific requirements. It is important to obtain a copy of the covenants to become aware of any restrictions. Water Rights Farmers and loggers, during certain times of the year, often work from before dawn to after dark. Noise, Dust, Odors Farming, ranching and timbering activities cause noise, dust and odors Animals Construction of structures requires permits and most require inspections. The Union County Planning Department can tell you if you need permits. The department is located at 1001 Fourth St., 541-963-101, www.union- county.org The La Grande City Building Department handles permits and inspections throughout the county. City Hall, 1000 Adams Ave., 541-962-1317, www.cityoflagrande.org Easements Not all land has water rights. Even though your property has a stream or ditch running through it, the right to use the water may belong to someone else. Contact the Union County Watermaster, 10507 N McAlister Road, 541-963-1031 Timber Rights Farm animals and their manure can cause odors and attract flies. Consider this when you evaluate a property. Pets Pets, especially dogs, must be kept under control at all times. Range Laws Check for easements that may require you to allow road, power line, waterline, etc., construction across your land. If there is a ditch on your property, the ditch company may have an easement to clean/maintain the ditch each year. Union CountyPlanning, 1001 Fourth St., 541963-1014 Fences You will want to ensure who holds the right to timber located on your property. Like water rights, someone else may own the right to the trees on your land. Contact the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) 611 20th, La Grande, 541-963-3168 Wetlands, Creeks, Streams, Riparian Areas Most areas are zoned "open range." If you do not want cattle, sheep and other livestock on your property, you will need to fence them out. Noxious Weeds Property line fences may or may not be on the actual property line. Only a The Land Use Plan, the Oregon Forest Practices Act, the Oregon Agricultural Water Quality Management Act and the Oregon Confined Animal Feeding Operation Rules require prevention of environmental damage and impaired water quality to such areas. Check with ODF for these requirements (see number above). Union County has a noxious weed ordinance. All property owners are required to control and, if possible, eradicate noxious weeds. ContactUnion County Weed Control, 541-963-1032 or Wallowa County Weed Control, 541426-3332 See Code/Page 37 P Page age 36 36 l www.lagrandeobserver.com www.lagrandeobserver.com NORTHEAST NORTHEAST OREGON OREGON LIVING Northeast Oregon Living Code of the West MOTHER NATURE Trees and Fire Danger A moist, green open space surrounding your dwellings can provide a defensible perimeter in the event of a wildfire. Consult the Oregon Department of Forestry's Web site, www. odf.state.or.us., for information on how to make your property defensible. Steep and North-Facing Slopes Steep slopes can slide in unusually wet weather. They are also likely sites for damaging snow slides in the winter. Northfacing slopes rarely see direct sunlight during the winter months, which means there is a possibility that snow and ice will not melt for the entire winter. Winter Chinooks and Spring Run-off During the winter, Union and Wallowa counties can experience a sudden, warm wind with rain. This "chinook" can cause excessive run-off and flooding. Water run-off in the spring when the snow melts can cause small creeks to become major rivers for a few weeks or months. Hunting and Fishing Phil Bullock /The Observer A bobcat watches from a tree perch. � Driving on highways where deer or elk can suddenly appear in your headlights Other Hazards Many areas in Union and Wallowa counties are open to hunting and fishing, which means your rural property may border public lands and be impacted by shooting, etc. Wildlife The weather is big factor everywhere, and Union and Wallowa Counties can experience severe wind storms, lightning, hail and heavy snow. Also, wind and snow can cause drifts in some areas and roads. CATTLE DRIVES While living near wildlife makes for good animal-watching and photographic opportunities, it may present some challenges: � Protecting children and pets from cougars, coyotes and deer � Protecting vegetable and flower gardens from deer, raccoons and other wildlife � Protecting fruit trees from deer � Dealing with nuisance animals such as skunks, porcupines, rats and snakes Livestock continues to be the largest sector of Wallowa County's agricultural economy, which is vastly dominated by cattle. With an estimated 115,000 beef cows in the county -- about seven times more than the human population -- cattle drives are inevitable, and they can occur on almost any road in the county (an obvious exception is Interstate 84). Cattle drives are most common during spring, when ranchers move cows from winter pastures to summer, and during fall, when cattle make the return trip. But drives can happen any time of the year.

But then winter comes. And stays. Yep, we have all four seasons here, but the coldest one seems to last a lot longer than the other three. And with winter comes snow, ice and cold -- freezing -- temperatures (average highs are in the mid-30s during December and January). I ROAD CONDITIONS Dial 5-1-1 on your cell phone 800-977-6368 www.tripcheck.com E very year the Oregon Department of Transportation issues tips for winter driving: Oregon's chain law Studded tires can only be used between November 1 and April 1 Watch for signs indicating chains or traction tires are required. To chain up, pull over to the right of the road as far as possible or pull into a chain-up area. (Some of these areas have people with permits who can chain up for you -- the price they charge varies.) Chains include link and cable chains that attach to the vehicle, wheel or outside of the tire. A traction tire is a studded tire or a tire that is suitable for use in severe snow conditions, marked with the symbol of a snowflake inside a mountain. More information about chain requirements is available online at www.tripcheck.org. Check road conditions before leaving, choose main routes, and let someone know your plans Keep your gas tank at least half full Clear snow, ice and frost from vehicle windows and lights Drive with your lights on Don't use cruise control in wet, icy or snowy weather If you lose traction, gradually slow down -- don't slam on the brakes Avoid driving through snowdrifts Slow down in advance of shady areas Be extra cautions on bridges or concrete highways -- ice forms first on these surfaces night. When you encounter a snow plow or sanding truck, keep your distance, and don't pass.

By Debbie Emery – Radar Reporter
Terrence Howard's estranged wife has obtained a temporary restraining order against him and RadarOnline.com has the documents detailing her claims of death threats and beatings by the actor.
According to the legal papers, Michelle Howard claims Terence began abusing her just seven days after their January 2010 wedding.
Michelle, who filed for divorce in February, states that the Hustle & Flow star punched her, threw her down and even chipped her tooth with his wedding ring. On one occasion he shouted, "I'll hit a woman quicker than I'd hit a man."
Michelle even referenced RadarOnline.com in her successful application for the restraining order, noting that we'd published a threatening message Howard had left on the voicemail of a total stranger.
PHOTOS: Celebrity Death Threats
As we exclusively revealed, the Oscar-nominated actor left a message on a stranger's voicemail on August 31, in which he identifies himself before going off on an angry tirade about the stranger calling his wife.
"N**ga, you been calling my wife… If you call my wife again I'm going to come to your house and I'm going to cut your f***ing throat," Terrence said in the message. "Understand that. I'm gonna tell you this one time. You call my wife again, I'm going to kill you."
PHOTOS: Celebrity Racist Rants
In response to today's dramatic allegations, the 42-year-old actor denied ever harming his ex.
The judge sided with Michelle and granted the TRO.
