A committee of business owners,public works employees, county com­missioners and community membersare meeting at City Hall on thesecond Thursday of every month todiscuss improvement plans for 10thStreet.

The next meeting will be Aug. 13at 5:30 p.m.Some of the proposed improve­

ments include expanding thesidewalk to run the length of thestreet on both sides, more trafficlights to slow the flow of vehicles, arapid light beacon to make crossingthe Hughes/Pocahontas intersectionsafer for pedestrians and plantingtrees along the street to im prove theaesthetics and make it more hospita­ble to pedestrians.

aimed at both improvement andbeautification.

"Right now, we're still in the ideagathering phase," Owen said. "Theonly general consensus is intersec­tion improvement and pedestrianimprovement. But we're still dividedon having pedestrians on 10th orgetting them off 10th."

But Erin Hansen, owner of TheLittle Pig restaurant on 3685 10thSt., says she can't imagine why pe­destrians would want to walk on thestreet in the first place."I don't even like to cross this

road," Hansen said."No one goes thespeed limit, they're usually going atleast 10 miles over."

Hansen says that even if pedestri­an-friendly improvements are made,10th Street's remote location at thenorth edge of town means that mostpeople who make their way outthere do so in a car anyway.

LOCAL BRIEFINGNona Duby celebrates her First centuryBy La'akea Kaufmankkaufman©bakercityherald.com

Nona Duby will celebrateher 100th year of life on July28. But, she says, "I still feelyoung at heart!"

Nona and her husbandmoved toBaker City inJuly 1972 andsettled in ahome at SpringGarden nearthe old Post DubyOIIice. Beforethat, Nona, her husband,and their nine children­three daughters, six sons­owned a 450-acre ranch in

Keating."Having that many boys,

we didn't have to hireanyone to work the ranch,"Duby said.

Once the kids got olderand moved out, it becametoo challenging and costly tooperate, so she and her hus­band moved on to Baker."It was probably the best

thing," Nona said.After her husband died of

cancer in 1987, Nona movedin at Meadowbrook PlaceSenior Living. She stayedthere until about two years

Nona now lives with her

eldest daughter, DorothyPeacock, in her home atImbler.

"Overall, she's truckingright along — better thanme!" Dorothy said. "Shehasn't been to the doctor inover a year, and she runsaround the house in herwalker."

Nona credits faith andwholesome food for givingher long life.

"I'm thankful that I'vehad Christian faith, it mademe more responsible for myactions and my thinking,"Nona said.'We ate a lot ofhealthy food because we

couldn't get to town to getprocessed food. We raisedour own meat, we grew andcanned our own truits andvegetables, we always hadfresh milk and a big tablefull of people."

Nona grew up on a farmraising sheep and cattlewith six brothers and eightsisters.

She says the biggestchanges she's seen in hercentury oflife have been incommunication and trans­portation.

"I sometimes think theworld is getting goofier,"Nona said.

Council to hear dog ordinance updateBy Joshua Dillenldillen©bekercityherald.com

Baker City Police ChiefWynLohner will give an updateabout the dangerous dog ordi­nance that was adopted lastyear to city councilors at theirmeeting Tuesday evening.

He will review the casesthat have been handled sincethe passage of the ordinanceincluding one in which a pitbull bit a woman. The dog'sowner agreed to euthanize itand the case did notresultin ahearing under the dangerousdog ordinance. However thedog's owner was cited understate statute for"Maintainirga Vicious Dog."

Another recent case that

states that most of the time itis not the dog's temperamentthat is the problem, but thatthe real problem lies in thecaretaking of animal. As a re­sult the hearing officer has tolook beyond the animal itselfand see the whole circum­stance surrounding the dogand it's particular situation.

Besides allowing for a dog tobe determined to be dangerousor vicious, the ordinance alsoallows for a dog owner to bedeemed a"problem pet owner."That has happened once sincethe ordinance went into effect.

Marijuana OrdinanceWith the recent passage

by Oregon's legislature of

HB 3400 and its signing intolaw by the governor, BakerCity Councilors will considerthe first and possibly secondreading of another ordinancebanning marijuana.

The new state law allows lo­cal jurisdictions in 15 Oregoncounties in which 55 percentor more of the voters votedagainst Measure 91.

Ordinance No 3342 is verysimilar to the one passed lastspring that banned the herband its related businesseswithin the city limits.

The new ordinance will beessentially the same as theone adopted last spring, butworded to align with and referto HB 3400.

Economic Development Council meetingThe Baker County Economic Development Council will

meet Tuesday trom 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the CommissionChambers at the Baker County Courthouse, 1995 ThirdSt.

Green's poems have appeared in many literary andpoetry journals and he has had several collectionspublished. His most recent collection is 'What WaterDoes at a Time Like This" iMoonPath Press, 2015l. Heretired trom teaching at Lower Columbia College in 2010to concentrate on writing, playing music, and produc­ing letterpress-printed poetry broadsides through ThePeasandcues Press. He lives with his wife, Marquita, inLongview.

One ofhis recent poems was featured on Garrison Keil­lor's Writers Almanac program on July 6. Also, he has aBaker City connection — he is Whit Deschner's brother­in-law.

Christopherson is a newly published poet whose bookis titled simply"The Leaf." She will read trom this as wellas trom other new work. She has lived in town just a fewyears and is the sister of John Woodard of Baker City.

Last fall, Tina Tau of Portland was in Baker City fora reading and to conduct a poetry workshop that Nancyparticipated in. Tina reviewed Nancy's book and hadthis to say about it:"Keen-eyed and compassionate,"TheLeaf' is a collection worth reading again and again. Nan­cy Christopherson's observations of the natural world­whales, herons, swifts, deer — are deft and deep ...

Her poems about love, her mother's death, forgive­ness and redemption reveal a profound awareness of the'nearly invisible threads' that connect us all. This is a richpool of poetry, wide-ranging in subject but with a coher­ent tender voice that is wholly satisfying."

GUEST EDITORIAL

a erna vesEditorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

You'll be pleased to know that Oregon will spend

some $300,000 of your tax dollars in the next twoyears to study moving the state to a single-payerhealth care system.

You'd think we'd learn.

The bill funding the study was approved on thelast day of the 2015 session.

We can only hope that the Oregon Health Author­ity, charged with conducting the study, approaches itwith an open mind.

It is tasked with considering a variety of optionsfor providing health care in Oregon, ranging from nochange to a single-payer system that would wipe outprivate health insurance except as a supplement towhat the state provides.

Given the realities ofhealth care in Oregon, thatformer is surely the best option.

Oregon's travails with the ACA make that clear.The state not only got itself a website that didn't

work, the bills are still coming in for setting CoverOregon up. And, lawsuits and counter-lawsuits havebecome part of the mix, driving costs up further.

Meanwhile, as the state expanded its OregonHealth Plan (Medicaid) program by a whopping 73percent, that, too, is proving expensive. While oKcialsoriginally estimated the state would spend some$217 million to finance OHP in the 2017-19 bien­nium, that number has changed. Now, they say, thepricetag is likely to be $369 million, about 10 percentof the general fund budget during those years.

Where, one wonders, would the money for auniversal system worthy of the name come from?Premiums could provide some revenue, to be sure, ifthat's how it would work.

But Oregon already cannot pay to educate itschildren adequately. Its support for its colleges hasdwindled to next to nothing. It is going to strugglejust to pay its current OHP bills, much less cover theinevitable expansion of"free" services in a single­payer system.

All that makes the study's "do nothing" option the

only one that makes sense.

The Wallowa-Whitman National For­est lWWNF) is fully into another yearof planning, and never so self-evident asshown by the "guest comment" by TomMontoya. The current planning processon the forest is to test the w aters, hopethe public is not paying attention, andwait for light public response at m eet­ings throughout the region.

The Forest Service has started itsre-engagement with local communitieson the forest plan revision, focusing onaccess, grazing and pace and scale of res­toration. In total 1,094 official commentswere received for the forest plan revi­sion, with residents speaking out aboutthe restriction of m otorized access in theBlue Mountains through the designationof routes lclosure of cross country travel)and reduction of road densities lclosure/obliteration ofhistoric roads). The forestshave participated in meetings and so farhave brought nothing new to the public.

While the forests do not have all them eetings scheduled, I do appreciatethem working on meeting with thepublic. Each meeting held so far has hada very strong calling for the forests todevelop a forest plan that retains andprotects the current level of open motor­ized access to the WWNF and Malheur,as well as to reinstate an open motorizedaccess system to the Umatilla.

Most concerning is the WWNF contin­ued development of Subpart A report ofthe Motorized Use Restriction Strat­egy. Subpart A is an internally drivendecision, developed by specialists at thesupervisor's office that identifies theminimum roads needed to"administer"the forest. Mr. Montoya makes it veryclear that the Subpart A report is not adecision document; however, his supervi­sor disagrees with him.

Your views

On June 12, Mr. Pena wrote in aresponse to my Freedom of InformationAct lFOIA) request he was denying therequest per Exemption 5"to preventinjury to the quality of the agency deci­sions" an exemption claimed to protecta government decision, of which Mr.Montoya claims this is not a decision.

What is sold to the public as a flexiblereport, actually becomes a noose aroundthe neck of rural communities as roadclosures and motorized use restric­tions spring forth fiom this internallydeveloped, agenda-driven document.This model has been used throughoutthe West, and is now rearing its head inEastern Oregon in an attempt to restricthuman interaction on the landscape, perthe draft forest plan revision.

The road system identified under theSubpart A report would be the mini­mum roads needed to meet the currentforest plans objectives, but does not havein its development any official publicinput combining the management objec­tives with the rural communities needsto access resources in the region. Therecommendations from the Subpart Areport will serve as a springboard to theSubpart B plan lclosure of cross countrytravel) that is scheduled to take place in2016, and assist in m oving the peopletowards a"closed forest" system formotorized access.

Residents expect to be involved in theprocess of developing the report, but wewill not be allowed to see the report untilafter it's finalized, making it an ineffec­tive tool for the region, except for those

orest ervicesti es e u ic

[545lio S!N8 l%tRSI8

that mean to restrict m otorized access.The report will serve as a baseline forfuture site-specific planning efforts toclose/decommission roads and restrictopen motorized access throughout theregion.

Mr. Montoya states he"stronglyencourages" further public involvement,but when the public requests to partici­pate, they are told no.

While the WWNF appears to havedeferred work on Subpart B, it has not.With work continuing on Subpart A, thelarger process of developing a Mo torizedUse Restriction Strategy is ongoing, andmoving forward without public input orinvolvement, and the WWNF continuesto breed hard feelings and mistrust inthe public.Motorized use restrictions have gener­

ated a great deal of debate in EasternOregon over the last eight years, as itshould. We have aging residents, andfamilies living below the poverty level,that are heavily dependent on openaccess to the resources that make ourcommunities resilient to the adversitiesof today's world. The WWNF and Region6 need to understand that the samepeople that feel sustaining their customs,culture and economic sustainability areimportant, are the same people thatcherish the natural resources aroundthem.

The people openly accept the op­portunity to engage with the WWNFand Region 6 on the Motorized AccessRestriction Strategy and Forest PlanRevision, but must be fully included, andnot brought into the process after plansare developed, as is currently being done.

Mexican drug lord should be prime targetfor U.S. along with ISIS, Al-Quaida

On Sept. 11, 2001, some ignorant radicals flew a coupleof jets into the World Trade Center and killed about 3,000Americans. George Bush toured the rubble and promisedretribution. He said Osama Bin Laden was "wanted deador alive." Through a lot of diligent work by our intelligencepeople we found him. Our military people did a good jobof eliminating him. We didn't much give a damn aboutPakistan's borders when we did it.

It's true that Al-Qaida is a threat. ISIS is a threat. Radi­cal Islam is a threat. They have killed thousands of people.Killing them doesn't seem to be much of a stretch. Elimi­nate and enemy. What I can't figure out though is whysomebody like El Chapo, the Mexican drug lord who justescaped prison, again isn't on the radar. Compared to Al­Qaida this guy is the real devil. His drugs have killed mil­lions. Broken up untold families and cost billions in drugrelated enforcement, treatment, and prisons. Drugs exportbillions out of this country to Mexico and the drug-relatedgang warfare down there has resulted in well over 100,000Mexican deaths. Our gun-related problems are tied directlyto our gangs that are really nothing but subcontractors forthe cartels.

With a presidential election coming up I would like tohear one candidate say that we are going to get El Chapo,dead or alive, and serve notice to M exico that their drugtrade is going to end or we will end it for you.

El Chapo, your meth has touched me personally and Iam going to do all I can to put a little backbone in my nextpresident.

Your viewsClimate change deniersshould be rejected, answeredInstead of responding to conclusive

scientific evidence and the ominous,growing damage from global warming,many political leaders have been undulyinfluenced and stymied by money andfalse propaganda from the fossil-fuelindustry and from regressive, right-wingideologues.

One example is the frivolous, unre­lated, irrelevant, and misleading state­m ent that appeared as a letter to theeditor in the Baker City Herald on July15. The letter described what was a lim­ited and temporary warming of Europeand parts of North America about 1,000years ago, and attempted to equate itwith today's unrelenting, worldwidewarming. And then it told us that global

warming is good for us!According to Wikipedia, the warming

during the European Middle Ages wascaused by increased solar activity, de­creased volcanic activity lwhich meansless reflective ash was sent into theatmosphere), and ocean circulation. Itwas NOT caused by an unprecedentedincrease in carbon dioxide and othergreenhouse gasses such as we are nowexperiencing.

Ocean temperature maps now showa strengthening El Nino in the PacificOcean that may well cause droughtsin Washington and Oregon to persistthrough this coming fall and winter.

Confusion caused by climate-changedeniers is unconscionable, and deservesour firm denunciation and rejection.

Let us turn, instead, to the guidance

of Pope Francis in his newly publishedencyclical. Both profound and eloquent,it calls forth the best in us — an uncon­ditional joining together to solve a moraland environmental crisis.It is up to us to deliver a legacy that

saves future generations from grievousloss. A PBS documentary"HumanityFrom Space" is available on the In­ternet. It offers the vision of a positivefuture, if we can drop barriers and learnto work together to meet the challengeswe all face.

I urge my fellow readers to join intaking the necessary bold steps together,including a revenue-neutral carbon tax,to moderate global warming right now.

GRANTS PASS — TheOregon Board of Forestryon Thursday postponed adecision on updating statelogging regulations to keepstreams cool enough forsalmon.

After four years of consid­eration, the board had beenscheduled to vote in Salemon a new riparian rule forthe Oregon Forest Prac­tices Act, mandating justhow many trees must beleft along small to mediumstreams on private timber­lands in western Oregon.

Department of Forestryspokesman Tony Ander­son says the board formeda subcommittee to makerecommendations that willbe considered sometime thisfall.

By Taylor W. Anderson

SALEM — A bill in Con­gress co-sponsored by Demo­cratic U.S. Rep. Kurt Schraderpassed a House vote Thursdayamid opposition fiom thegroup that unsuccessfullypushed for labeling geneticallymodified food in Oregon lastelection.

The bill would overturn andprevent state and local gov­ernments fiom passing theirown GMO labeling require­ments. It may not overturna ban on GMOs in SouthernOregon's Jackson County.

Schrader was one of15Democrats who co-sponsoredthe Safe and Accurate FoodLabeling Act as what he calleda conservation measure thatwould avoid confusion aroundbioengineered crops that aremore insect and drought resis­tant and may produce higheryields. Schrader is an organicfarmer fiom Canby.

"If you're worried aboutclimate change and wantgood science, you should be

protections for salmon, theboard decided it neededmore time.

The action comes as re­cord hot temperatures anddrought have been killingfish.

Richard Whitman, natu­ral resources adviser to Gov.Kate Brown, told the boardthat it must try to meet thecold water standard to thefullest extent feasible, whiletaking into account econom­ic considerations.

"Everyone pretty muchagrees what is needed tomeet the standard," he said."The question is what isfeasible."

Current rules requireriparian zone butfers of 20feet on small to mediumstreams but do not doenough to prevent streamsfrom warming more than0.54 degrees after logging.Butfers up to 100 feet

are being considered. Thebigger the butfers, the moreshade and the greater thechance of meeting the stan­

for this bill," Schrader said.'This is precisely why I'm veryconcerned about the demoni­zation ofbiotechnology, anda rejection by many of the sup­porting science behind it."

But opponents, includingOregon Right to Know, thechief proponent of Ballot Mea­sure 92 last election, dubbedthe bill the DARKAct — forDenyAmericans the Rightto Know — and sayit waspushed by bio-agriculturalgiant Monsanto and wouldprevent states and localgovernments fiom requiringGMO labeling.

Schrader's support of thebill shows how far he is fromfellow Oregon DemocraticReps. Peter DeFazio and EarlBlumenauer on the issue.The two pointed out dozensof other countries requireGMO labeling.

"A truly fiee market wouldallow such information to bedisclosed to consumers, andyet here we are making itmore IIdficult and confusingfor consumers," DeFazio, of

Forestrydoarddelaysdecisiononloggingruledard, but the greater theeconomic impact on timber­land owners.

The Department ofForestry has estimated thatimposing butfers up to 100feet along streams couldcost timberland owners upto $227 million in land andtimber values.Federal regulators ruled

in January that Oregonlogging rules do not suf­ficiently protect fish andwater in western Oregon

Springfield, said in a state­ment Wednesday before vot­ing against the measure thatpassed the House 275-150Thursday, with 45 Democratsjoining all but 12 Republi­cans voting in favor.

"Americans have a rightto know what is in their foodand how it is grown," Blu­menauer said. The bill "is anegregious federal overreachthat would undo importantstate and local efforts toinform consumers."

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici,D-Beaverton also opposedthe bill. Republican Rep.Greg Walden, R-Bend, votedin favor.

In a statement, Waldenreiterated the JacksonCounty ban wouldn't beoverturned by HR 1599.

"Local governments willretain their authority toregulate agriculture produc­tion within their borders,"Walden said. 'What the billdoes is ensure a uniformstandard for food labelingso that consumers know

exactly what's in their food."The 2014 Oregon ballot

measure was one of theclosest and most expensivein Oregon history. It wasopposed by bio-agriculturaland big food and beveragecompanies who fundedmessaging that warnedGMO labeling requirementswould lead to higher grocerycosts for consumers.

Every county east of theCascades voted against themeasure that was largelysupported in the state'surban areas.

Schrader said in a floorspeech supporting the mea­sure that it was designedto avoid "a patchworkof politically motivated,non-scientific, mythologicalregulations by activists, notscientists."

While polls show a major­ity of Americans supportGMO labeling requirements,labeling opponents saystudies haven't found thatgenetically modified food isa health hazard.

17 state workers seek help with legal billsPORTLAND iAPl — The investigation of former Gov.

John Kitzhaber has been quietinrecent months, but someaction has occurred outside the public view.

The Democratic governor resigned in February amidsuspicions that his live-in fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, used herrelationship with him to land contracts for her green-energyconsulting business.

As a grand jury and agents for the IRS and FBI contactpotential witnesses, recoids obtained by The Oregonian show17 state employees have asked the state to pay their legalbills in the case. At least five have received subpoenas totestify before a federal grand juryin Portland.An employee's application to cover legal fees must be

approved by areview committee. Theymust submit writtenevidence they've been contacted by law enforcement.The state has approved 13 employees for coverage so far,

and five have submitted legal bills. The biggest bill to dateis for Kitzhaber's energy adviser, Margaret Hotfinan. Sherequested $12,915 to pay her lawyer.

Hofl'man was subpoenaed on Feb. 23 to appear before thefederal grand juryin March, records show.

Tung Yin, a Lewis & Clark law professor who is an experton white-collar crime, said he does not expect a quickresolu­tion or indictmentin the Kitzhaber-Hayes case. He said acomplex federal probe can take a year or m ore.The 13 employees already approved for the legal program

are mainly former Kitzhaber aides: former chiefs of stafFCurtis Robinhold and Mike Bonetto; natural resourcesadviser Gabriella Goldfarb; spokeswoman Nkenge HarmonJohnson; general counsel Liani Reeves; and scheduler MaryRowinski.

Others approved for funding indude: Department ofEnvironmental Quality stafers David Allaway and PalmerMason; Michael Jordan, former director of the DepartmentofAdministrative Services; Sean McGuire, who workedon a Hayes project; and Tracy Osburn and Adrian Turpin,employees of the state's data warehouse.

Vintner sues neighbor lor herbicide driftPORTLAND iAPl — An Oregon winemaker has filed

a lawsuit against a neighboring farmer, claiming herbi­cide drifted from the grass-seed field and destroyed oneof his grape crops.

The Oregonian reports that Willamette Valley Vine­yards filed suit Tuesday in Polk County Circuit Courtagainst Five Cent Farm, saying he lost 12.7 tons ofpinot noir grapes.

According to the lawsuit, the Oregon Department ofAgriculture investigated and found that herbicide drifthad occurred.

Five Cent Farm's Jeff Nichols says the agriculturedepartment could not prove where the herbicide camefrom. Nichols says the grapes could have been dam­aged by nearby homeowners using weed killers.

son with an arthritic condition in hisback, homered with one out in the bot­tom of the 10th inning Sunday to giveSeattle a 6-5 victory over the TorontoBlue Jays, a game the Mariners keptclose with the aid of a triple play.

He jumped on an 0-2 pitch fromAaron Loup i2-5l and drove it over thewall in left-center for his third homer.

"I had two strikes at that momentand, obviously, you have to try to putthe ball in play. I was ready for any­thing," said Gutierrez, who was calledup June 24 after spending the first48 games with Triple-A Tacoma."Hethrew a fastball right there, put a goodswing on it and it went out."

"Any time there are two guys on abase, the guy who was originally thereis entitled to it, so Pillar is out andthen Carrera comes off the bag ... why?I have no idea. So he's out, too," Gib­bons said.

Hamels fires no-hitter against CubsCHICAGO iAPl — The scouts packed the seats behind

home plate, and Cole Hamels put on quite a show. Thelanky left-hander was dominant on a picturesque afternoonat Wrigley Field.

Quite the timing, too.Hamels struck out 13 in baseball's third no-hitter of

the season, leading Philadelphia to a 5-0 victory over theChicago Cubs on Saturday in what might be his final startfor the Phillies. The 2008 World Series MVP has been men­tioned prominently in trade talks as the July 31 deadlineapproaches.

Hamels i6-7l was in control right &om the start againstthe contending Cubs, and then got some help from rookiecenter fielder Odubel Herrera in the final two innings. Itwas the fourth no-hitter for catcher Carlos Ruiz, includingthe playoffs, according to STATS — tops in NL history andtied with Jason Varitek for the major league record.

It was the 13th no-hitter for the Phillies, who have themajors' worst record and could rebuild their farm systemwith a big haul &om a Hamels deal. The 31-year-old leftyalso was part of Philadelphia's previous no-hitter, teamingwith three relievers for another gem last Sept. 1 at Atlanta.

West wins WNBA all-star gameUNCASVILLE, Conn. iAPl — Maya Moore has always

enjoyed playing in Connecticut. She put on another show inthe state at the league's All-Star Game.M oore scored a record 30 points to lead the West to a

117-112 victory over the East on Saturday. She had eightstraight points in the final 2 minutes to turn a one-pointdeficit into a 113-106 advantage for the West .

FC Dallas rolls past Portland TimbersFRISCO, Texas iAPl — Michael Barrios scored two goals

to help FC Dallas win its fifth game in row, 4-1 over thePortland Timbers on Saturday night.

Barrios, who came into the match with one career MLSgoal, opened the scoring &om the right corner of the 6-yardbox in the 12th minute.

Ten minutes later, Barrios gave FC Dallas i11-5-5l a 2-0lead when he found the net &om the top of the area.

Kellyn Acosta and Mauro Diaz scored in the 69th and87th, respectively, — the latter on a penalty kick — to giveDallas a 4-0 advantage.

Fanendo Adi's penalty kick, after Lucas Melano drew afoul, in stoppage time gave Portland i9-8-5l its first roadgoal in MLS action since a 2-1 win over Colorado on May 30.

Montreal slips past Seattle SoundersMONTREAL iAPl — Belgian defender Laurent Ciman

scored off a header in the 88th minute to give the MontrealImpact a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders on Saturdaynight at Saputo Stadium.

Following that meeting,DelCurto contacted StateSen. Ted Ferrioli, R-JohnDay, and Greg Smith of theBaker County EconomicDevelopment Departmentand confirmed that themoney had been appropri­ated and will be availablefor the district to use in themanner described above.At a special board meet­

ing July 17, the boardscheduled a public meetingfor Thursday, July 30 at 7p.m. in the Halfway LionsHall to explain what hashappened so far and whatit envisions happeningnext, which would likelyinclude: accepting the offerand dividing the propertybetween the district, thePine Valley Fair Associationand the city of Halfway.

At the July 17 meeting,DelCurto told his fellowboard members about hisconversation with Smith:"He informed me that themoney is real. It's appropri­ated money. It's not grantmoney. It doesn't appearthe money has timelines onit. Everybody I've talked tohas said it doesn't need tobe spent right away."

DelCurto added that nei­ther Smith nor Ferrioli wasable to tell him whether theappropriated money wasonly available if the districtbuys the pavilion propertyor whether it could be usedin other ways.

''What Ferrioli saidhis intention was whenhe presented it to get itappropriated was thathe had been hearing forseveral years that Beckerwas threatening to do awaywith the building, and thatwould hinder our fair."DelCurto added that he toldthe senator the fair wouldcontinue regardless of thestatus of the pavilion."Hesaid his intention was to getthat building into the handsof this community and getus money for the new firestation that we have beentalking about," DelCurtosaid.

Although the fire districtboard is not interested inowning the pavilion, theyare interested in the rest ofthe property as a potentiallocation for a new fire sta­tion, emergency manage­ment center and helipad.Following the July 7 boardmeeting, where Sackosand Becker informed themthat the funds had beenappropriated prior to thelegislature adjourning, theboard contacted Pine ValleyFair Association presidentCasey Rowen to gauge thatgroup's interest in possiblyowning the pavilion. Rowenattended the July 17 meet­ing and told the board thefair association is interestedin such an arrangement.

Rowen said that fair as­sociation secretary SharonStutzman had contactedBecker and gathered infor­mation about expenses andincome associated with thebuilding and determinedthat the two could ap­proximately balance out ifoperations continue as they

have in the recent past.Utilities and insurance areestimated to cost between$6,000 and $7,000 annu­ally, and storage incomeand winter roping activitiesgenerate close to $6,000 ayear, Rowen said.

"On Tuesday I laid itall out for them," Rowentold the fire district board."I'm sure it wasn't the firsttime they'd heard it. I toldthem I understood that alot of them had been there15 years ago when all thiswent down, and I'm surethere are some hard feel­ings there, but here's theopportunity. After we laid itall out there, we took it to avote, and it was unanimousthat yes, they're interested."

One anticipated impactto the annual Baker CountyFair in Halfway in the sce­nario where the fire districtacquires the property andredraws the property lines,giving the pavilion and theground to the east of it tothe fair association is thatlivestock show attendeeswould no longer be able tocamp in the hay field northof the pavilion. The groundto the east of the building,however, would be availablefor that purpose.

'That's something wecan deal with later," Rowensaid.

To facilitate the possibletransition Becker had toldthe board at their July 7meeting that he wouldcontinue to maintain thebuilding for a period of oneyear, and that he wouldremove the mobile homefrom the property as well asthe horse stalls and relatedequipment.

"It sounds like everyhorse-related is going to begone," DelCurto said.

The board continuedto discuss the potentialproperty transaction andproperty line adjustments,including giving the north­eastern portion of the prop­erty to the City of Halfway,which board member MikeWalter, who also sits on theHalfway City Council, saidhe believed the city wouldbe inclined to accept.

DelCurto emphasizedthat the discussions at lastFriday's special meetingare preliminary.'We wouldhave to go through a landuse planning process," hesaid."I don't think we canset anything in concrete. Wehave to get this informationout there, and if all play­ers are in line, we can gothrough the planning pro­cess." DelCurto added thatthe board should take boardmember Ken Wheeler's ad­vice and seek legal counselabout the situation and besure the district is on solidlegal ground.

Also at the July 17 meet­ing, Pine Valley Fire ChiefTodd Robinette reiteratedthe reasons his departmentbelieves a new fire sta­tion is needed. Newer firetrucks are larger than theolder trucks the depart­ment currently uses, andwhen the department needsto upgrade to the newer,larger trucks they won't fitin the bays at the currentfire hall.

A little girl,some sta1Ttps,and a lessonin saving

tC Y

It was a long time ago that the LaGrande Post Office was located inwhat is now City Hall at Adams Av­enue and Fourth Street rather thanat its present Washington Avenue andDepot Street location.

Back to the 1930s and pre-WorldWar II.

The building outside looks prettymuch the same now as it did then,w ith its broad flights of stairs lead­ing up and inside from both the frontand side with an employee door at theback facing the alley and the backsideof Montgomery Ward where freightentered the store.

As I remember, it seems like uponentering the front door of the post of­fice that the single clerk's counter wasoff to the left of a wide public spacereaching across to the right wherethe rows of postal boxes lined thewall, not unlike the present buildingexcept that there was no center doorto close off one section from the other.With wood paneling on the walls andcounter, the area seemed rather darkand quieted the customers comingand going, doing their business. Thetone was one of seriousness, not un­like that of a bank. I always felt muchsmaller when I looked up at the highcounter and the face of the clerk look­ing over it and down at me.

It seems like I was much youngerthan my early teens when I wouldgo in the post office with my parentswhere they purchased stamps andseemed to do other types ofbusinesstransactions, but I don't know whatthey could have been.

It was at the post office that Ilearned about saving my money andhow to spend some of it.

As shy as I was, it was almost anordeal to go in by myself and standnose-high at the counter and mumblemy needs.

How patient and kind the clerksalways were to help me conduct "mybusiness," whatever it may be.

It was before the War, World WarII, you know, that I remember buyinga stamp or two at a time and havinga little book to fill until it was worthone dollar. Then I would hand it to theclerk who would enter the amountand a date in his book, keep the bookand hand me an unfilled new one,saying a profound thanks and praiseme for building a good "bank account"whenever I had the full dollar amountto save.

I have wondered for years whatthat was all about, for the post officewasn't a bank, but it seems like theyhad a savings account available andmy folks encouraged my putting mybaby-sitting money there by buyingstamps to put in my book until itwas filled and worth one dollar. Thatwasn't easy to do, for I usually wasgiven a quarter for a full evening's sit­ting. At the time, I was still getting atwice-monthly allowance of a quarterin the early years and, out of it, Icould spend it as I pleased as long as Isaved some of it by buying a ten-centsaving stamp and gave a donation tothe church, a matter of five cents eachweek, I believe.

I say that with crossed fingersbecause the coins to the church werethree pennies, two of the five going toMrs. Niederer's 1209 Fourth Streetcandy counter, a block away from theLutheran church on M Avenue, andopen on Sunday that I guiltily visitedin company with my older cousinsand sister while walking by on ourway to church.

A Pittsburgh couple choseto exchange their shaded,failing grass for a thriving,no-mow moss lawn. A long­time Cincinnatian installeddozens of towering teepees tosupport his favorite floweringvines. And a Columbus, Ohio,philosophy professor rippedout her front lawn — the onlysunny spot on her property­to install multiple raised-bedvegetable gardens.

According to Susan McCoy,author of the 2015 GardenTrends Report, more home­

we learned all the things wecould do to help out with thewar effort. Things like wrap­ping used string and twineinto balls, pouring cookinggrease into tin cans, and col­lecting scraps of iron or steel,then donating it all to the col­lection center to be recycledinto items for the military.

We adjusted to the short­ages fairly easily, for w e hadcome through what they hadcalled the Great Depres­sion of the 1930s, so we justpulled in our belts a littletighter without feeling sorryfor ourselves.

We had a job to do infighting the war — and wedid it, pretty much withoutcomplaint.

I suppose, in these yearsof instant satisfaction andthrowaways, there are stilla few of us who continue tofollow the regime of"waste­not, want-not." Call ithoarding if you will, but inthose days there was a usefor everything no matterhow worn-out or used it maybe. It could be just the thingsomeone needed.

Mossy magicElaine Stept of Point

Breeze, a tree-lined Pitts­burgh neighborhood, doesn'tconsider herself a rebelgardener. She says she andher husband, Larry, were justso frustrated trying to growgrass under her shade treesthat she welcomed landscapedesigner Phyllis Gricus' solu­tion of a moss lawn.

"Our two 100-year-old oaksgave off so much shade youcouldn't even grow shadegrass," says Stept.

With Gricus' help, they toreout what was left of the scrag­gly lawn, ordered a variety ofmosses, made a slurry of them oss particles, then painted

the mixture across the yard'samended soil.

"If you already have mossgrowing in a lawn, it doesn'ttake much more to encourageMother Nature along," saysGricus. Still, she cautions, ittakes some patience.

While the Stepts waitedthe four to five months for themoss to begin growing, theyfielded neighbors' questionsabout their muddy front yard.

Finally, their moss startedfilling in, and the neighborsbegan to see and understandwhat the couple were plan­ning.

Continued from Page 1BVery recently I was going

through some of my researchpapers and photos and ranacross what I thought wasa savings book; however, itturned out not to be a littlebook but a single cardboardon which was written"United States GovernmentPostal Savings Card" andwas stamped June 14, 1932,in Gresham, Oregon. It clari­fies my childhood remem­brance. On the card were tenlittle squares just the size ofthe 10-cent stamp that yourdime purchased. The postaldepartment wrote that byyour placing ten postal sav­ings stamps on the spacesnumbered from one to tenyou could then turn it in toany postal savings deposi­tory as a one-dollar depositto your account or you couldredeem it for cash. You couldearn 2 percent interest annu­ally by saving.

I am glad to know this forsure now that I have foundthis savings card. I know nowthat I would have purchaseda stamp or two at a time andpasted it onto the cardboarduntil I had a full dollar'sworth, then turned it into thepostal clerk to add to my sav­ings account there. I want itknown that whomever thiscard came from, I appreci­ate having it donated to mycause because now I can tellyou about the postal savings

The book that I thought Iremembered must have beenfor war bond stamps andthe earlier separate savingsrecord was recorded by theclerk under your name in hisown record book. You keptthe flat card until the spaceswere filled before turning itin as a dollar saved.

There are five stamps onthis particular card filling upfive spaces. The other emptyfive spaces contain sayingslike "A penny saved is apenny earned,"eThrift beginswith little savings," and myfavorite still usedaWaste not,want not."

Somewhere in the back ofmy mind the amount of $15

was the amount of my totalsavings when we removedour money, maybe becauseof the closure of the savingsprogram. It would be inter­esting to know for sure.It was some years later

that the post office soldsavings stamps that youcould buy for a dime eachand paste in the little bookthat I remember. When thebook was filled, you couldexchange it for a War Bond,maybe a $25 or a $50 one. Ican't be sure of that anymore.

FRONT YARDS i s: Sestt at'seasi Vcontro eWesCom News SerwceBy Jasmine Rockow

Got aphids?The bugs are a common

garden pest this time of year.Although they rarely kill matureplants, aphids can weakenyounger plants and leave behindunattractive damage.

Keeping aphids to a minimumis key to a healthy garden. Largepopulations can stunt newgrowth and turn leaves yellow.They often leave behind a stickysubstance called honeydew, andthey can spread viruses fromplant-to-plant.

Aphids can be identified bytheir pear-shaped bodies, longlegs and antennae. They canbe green, yellow, black, red orbrown. Almost all plants aresusceptible to at least one spe­cies of aphid. They typically feedon leaves and stems in densegroups, piercing tender parts ofthe plant and sucking out fluids.

While using an insecticideto kill off the aphids might betempting, as well as effective,that method could kill beneficialinsects. Other less toxic methodsmight be a better way to keepthe bugs in check and the plantshappy.Aphids are attracted to the

distress signals sent out byweak or unhealthy plants, saidAmy Jo Detweiler, associateprofessor of horticulture withOregon State University. Sheteaches master gardener coursesat the Deschutes County OSUExtension Service in Redmond.

''When people have a signifi­

cant aphid problem, we recom­mend ways to manage the cur­rent infestation and also look atwhy the plant is under stress,"Detweiler said.eWe give themall of the research-based optionsand let them make an informeddecision."

Check plants regularly so anyinfestation is caught early, andkeep ants under control; antsprotect aphids from predators.

When aphids are found, hosedown hardy plants and shrubswith a strong stream of water,focusing on the underside ofleaves and stems.Since aphids are a soft-bodied

insect, some will be killed oncontact. Those not killed couldreturn or quickly reproduce, andthis tactic must be employedregularly to be effective.

Sticky traps, which use apetroleum-type of jelly, areanother option, Detweiler said.

These traps are typically usedto monitor the number of aphidsin an area by capturing someof the insects. The traps are notconsidered a pesticide.

Insecticidal soap is a milder,organically derived option whencultural controls aren't working.

The Integrated Pest Manage­ment program at University ofCalifornia Davis recommendsusing insecticidal soaps or oilslike neem and canola. Dilute oilsin a 1 to 2 percent solution withwater, and spray both the topsand underside of leaves liberally.

Jim and Debra Fields, thehusband and wife team thatowns Fields Farm in Bend,prevent aphid infestations bymaintaining healthy plants andbuilding the soil with compostand different types of organicfertilizer.

CHERRY-BOURBONICE CREAMCherries and smoky sweet

Continued from Page 1BIt only makes sense that

most cherry pies are madefrom tart cherries, Seaquistsaid, because they are small­er. Ergo: You can pack morecherries into the pastry andevery bite. And who doesn'twant more cherries?

At Seaquist Orchards'm arket, I discovered fresh­baked cherry pies and house­made cherry fudge, cherryjam and cherry salsa, cherryjuice and cherry cider, driedcherries, frozen cherries,fresh cherries. And I devel­oped a serious case of cherryfever.

At Parador, a tapas res­taurant in the town of EggHarbor, I had charcuteriepaired with Door Countycherry jam. At 109-year-oldWilson's Restaurant & IceCream Parlor in Ephraim, Iinhaled a vanilla ice creamsundae loaded with hot fudgesauce, Door County cherries,whipped cream and pecans.At what may be America'scutest pie shop, Sweetie Piesin Fish Creek, I chatted withowner Cathy Mazurek andwolfed down a slice of herpeach-and-cherry pie and gotsome cherry bars to go.

Back in Sister Bay, at Fred& Fuzzy's Waterfront Bar& Grill, I slurped a wonder­fully sweet-tart Door Countycherry margarita. And atthe White Gull Inn in FishCreek, I had what"GoodMorning America" viewersvoted the best breakfast inthe nation back in 2010. Thatwould be the inn's Cherry­Stuffed French Toast: slicesof egg bread with pockets ofWisconsin cream cheese andDoor County cherries, toppedwith real maple syrup. Gra­cious goodness, that stuff isgood.If you ever get to Door

County, you won't forgetthose cherries.

Unfortunately, fresh tartcherries of any kind are notto be found in some cities,such as Atlanta, though youcan find sour cherries incanned pie filling and dried.

As Seaquist told me,these juicy little MidwesternMontmorencys and othertart varieties are a challengeto ship. However, you mayorder dried Montmorencysfrom any number of sources,and they are great for cook­ies, bars, granola, etc. They

are good in salads ihow aboutsome cherry-pecan sal?l andmay be chopped and added tosalsas, relishes and chutneys.

I had terrific luck with thedried and frozen Montmo­rencys I ordered from FriskeOrchards in the neighbor­ing state of Michigan, thenation's No. 1 state for tartcherries. As research forthis story, I made an amaz­ing meat loaf studded withMontmorencys and slatheredwith a catsup-y cherry sauce.I'm saving the rest for cherrypies and White Gull's killerFrench toast.

So here's the thing aboutcooking with cherries. Theyare versatile. So if you can'tfind sour, most sweet variet­ies work just fine, thoughmight add a little lemon juiceor zest to im part tartness.After heating up the kitchento make cherry baked goods,I've decided that cold cherrytreats — like ice creams,smoothies, cocktails andsalsa — are the way to go inthis hot summer season.

There'll be plenty of timefor cherry baking this falland winter. Right now, it'stime for a pick-me-up, so Ithink I'll dump some cher­ries, bananas and nonfatyogurt in the blender andslurp my troubles away.

CHERRIES THREE WAYSHere are recipes for a

cool cherry salsa, a cherry­and-apricot clafoutis andcherry-bourbon ice cream. Topit cherries for the clafoutis,just poke the stem end with awooden chopstick, and the pitshould pop out.

CHERRYSALSAThis is a perfect way to enjoyfresh sweet cherries (or tart,if you can find them) as asummer snack with tortillachips. Basil adds a hint ofanise to the relish. But feelfree to create your own recipe,using mint, cilantro, scallions,hot sauce or whatever mildor hot peppers you have onhand. Lime juice may be usedin place of lemon. The salsakeeps well in the refrigerator,and would be delicious withgrilled meats, chicken or as astand-in for cranberries withturkey.

Fields said.eWe're not at warwith the bugs or other animals,we're working with them."

Over the years they have builta resident population of benefi­cial insects.

Rye, flowering broccoli,cilantro and phacelia tanaceti­folia — commonly called blue orpurple tansy, all provide a placefor lady beetles to "hang aroundand eat," said Jim Fields. Otherflowering plants that he recom­mends include clover and globeartichokes.

Detweiler recommendsyarrow, which will attractparasitic wasps, soldier beetlesand lacewings. Basket-of-Goldworks well in the high desertfor attracting bugs that controlgarden pests.

"One year our basil got aphidsreally bad, so we releasedladybugs into the greenhouse,"Debra Fields said."In two daysthe basil went from pale to anice bright green again. Theycan be effective."

But it takes a complex ecosys­tem to keep the aphid-control­ling bugs from leaving in searchof other food sources once thereare less aphids to eat."It's good to have a diver­

sity of plants that will bring inbeneficial insects and keep thebalance, so that if a food sourcearises they can take care of it,"Detweiler said.

at $20 for a three-plant container, Deterspurchased 20 pots and took them hometo the property he cared for when hisgrandmother owned it. For the next 18months, he experimented with trellismaterials and heights.In 2012, the"overnight appearance of

Veggies in frontFor years, philosophy professor Tamar

Rudavsky and her husband, RichardBrody, battled over turf. Brody preferreda grassy lawn for a play space for theirkids, but Rudavsky wanted a lushvegetable garden to provide flavorful,healthy food for the family.

"I think lawns are ridiculous," she says.When the couple became empty nest­

ers in 2006 and moved to a smaller homewith a shady backyard in Columbus,Ohio, Rudavsky gained ground in theirturf war as she negotiated for a front­yard vegetable garden. Within two weeksof moving in, she dug up the front lawnand planted her first crops.

Rudavsky has become an edibles cru­sader by example as hundreds ofbikerspass to admire the vegetable gardens.For those who stop to learn more, sheadvises them to start with a 4-by-8-footraised bed.'Youcan grow a summer's worthof produce in that space." In fact, fourneighbors have followed Rudavsky's advice.

MONDAY, JULY 27, 20)5YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you are a bright and positive

individual who never insists on being centerstage. Instead, you can find tremendous con­

tentment providing the kind of behind-the­scenes support that is so necessary to virtu­ally every kind of worthwhile endeavor inlife. You know that you have great things tooffer, but you also realize that not everyone isborn to be in the spotlight. Even so, you canlearn to exploit the opportunity to shinewhen it comes to you. You may, in fact,stumble into just such an opportunity at leasttwice in your life, turning each into such atremendous success that you are remembered

for them more than for all the other thingsyou do or have done. The truth is, however,that you are not so concerned with how youare remembered, but rather with how you

live.TUESDAY, JULY 28LEO (July 23-Aue. 22) — You're into

something you don't completely understand,but you know that with the help of a friend

rely on the classifiedto lOCate What you need.

WHEN THE SEARCH IS SERIOUS

you can surely prevail.VIRGO (Aue. 23-Sept. 22) ­- You can

begin gathering the best talent available for aproject you've been imagining for quite sometime. Get things down on paper!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ­- You knowwhat the major issues are, but you're not will­ing to talk about them until you know whatyou want the outcome to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Environmental influences will be feltthroughout the day, but if you're properlyprepared, you should be able to do all youhave planned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Someone is pressuring you more than usual,

but you have to come to terms with how youreally feel before making a decision.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You'renot likely to get everything you had hopedfor, but having something of value is betterthan nothing at all, surely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You mustbe ready to strike a deal with someone whothinks he or she is holding all the cards. You

by Stella Wilder

have a surprise up your sleeve!PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ­- The dis­

agreement you are having with a friend or

loved one is merelya matter ofperception. Byday's end, you can be on the same page.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ­- Two out ofthree isn't bad, surely ­- in fact, it's a worthy

goal. You mustn't be so stubborn that youmake an unnecessary sacrifice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You mayfeel as though you've lost your way recently.Fortunately, the day is likely to offer you anopportunity to get back on track.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You knowwhat a loved one is waiting to hear, but youhave the feeling that saying it is going to makethings worse — if only temporarily.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ­- This is agood day to ask forgiveness of someone whowas hurt by a word or a deed some time ago.You'll realize what "I'm sorry" means!

LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA SHOOTINGWedding ma be wrong timefor found fat er to reappear

could get to pay the bills (more or less), butthey have all been near minimum wage, so 10years from retirement, I have no savings.

Igot to the point I was so miserable at mylastj ob that I quit without havirg anotherone waitirg for me, so I'll probably end uptaking whatever dead-endj ob I can getjust toget a paycheck. How can I convince potential,employers I can do something different when

— DIANE IN CANTON

ABBY prob lem is you have lost faithin yourseK Ifyou have had"1,000 interests and hobbies,"

I'm betting you are proficientin at least halfof them, which means you do have a wealthof varied experiences to offer some lucky em­ployer. Please keep thatin mind the next timeyou go for an interview, because as long as youhave the determination, it is never too late.

DEAR ABBY: I recently marrv'ed "Ron,"a widower. His wife "Marianne"died threeyears ago. They had a solid, happy marriage.Ron's father had a heart attack and died attheir wedding reception.

Ron had a tattoo put on his arm­"E.R.M."and the date. The letters standforhis father ("Erwin"), Ron and Mar7'anne. Thedate is their wedding date. Ron says thaton that day the three of them were eternallybound. I don't like the tattoo, but Ron ada­mantly refuses to have it removed.

I'm mostly unhappy about Ron's feelingthat there's an eternal bond between him, hislate wife and his father Am I unreasonablefor wanting him to remove it?

DEAR INKED: Yes! It's a huge mistake tocompete with dead people. It is understand­able that your husband would feel love forhis deceased wife and father. That love ispart of why he's the person he is today — theman you fell in love with. The sooner youlearn to appreciate him for all the love in hisheart, the healthier your marriage will be.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail VanBuren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, andwas founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.comor PO. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

DEARABBY: I am 82 and getting marriedin ayear My biological father livesin Spainand has never been to the US. My mother methim when she was teachirg Erglish there.I was born in the states and never knew orspoke to my dad growing up. WhenI was 5, Iwas adopted by my mom's then-husband.

At 20, while studying in Spain, I locatedmy father and his wife. We maintain a goodrelationship, but I haven'tbeen back there, and he hasnever met myfamily.M om harbors a lot of

resentment toward myfather.She tells me he took nointerestin me as a baby and never sent anymoney or letters. She gets emotional when heis brought up in conversation. He doesn'tfeelthis way toward her. When I mentioned toMom that I plan to invite him and his wifeto the wedding she got upset. She told me Ihave no businessinvitirg him and that shedoesn't want to see him.I do not share my mother's resentment.

I don't want my father to feel excluded. Iworry about Mom's feelings and about myfather's Prst US. trip being during the wed­ding when I will surely be distracted withlots of things. Please advise.

— BRIDE TORN IN TWOINNEBRASKA

DEAR BRIDE: Your father may have nohard feelings toward your mother because itappears he accepted no emotional or financialresponsibility at the time you were conceived.Ifhe knew she was pregnant and offered nohelp, then all of that fell on her shoulders.It's appropriate you are worried aboutyour

DEAR DEAR DIANE: Your

The Associated Press

LAFAYETTE, La. — Thestranger clenched his fistsand shook his head, recount­ing a time when he tried andfailed to beat a cat to deathwith a steel rod.

His audience, two womenlunching at a Lafayette bistmon a Saturday afternoon, satacmss fmm him, shocked andsilent. The manin a Hawaiian­print shirthad pulled a chairup to their table minutes ear­lier. He stmked their dogs andstarted toramble: People spendtoo much moneyon their pets.There should be a cheaper wayto euthanm an animal.

This stranger told them heonce took in a stray cat and itgot sick, so he bashed its headwith the rod but failed to kill it.

"He was hurt that the catlived," recalled Bonnie Bar­bier, who listened in horror tothe bluster for 30 minutes."Itwas this twisted sense thathe was doing the right thing."

Days later, John RussellHouser's photograph flashedonto television screens acrossAmerica as the man whoopened fire in a Louisianamovie theater.

"My stomach dropped,"Barbier said of the momentshe saw his photo, stern andunsmiling.'That was theman trom Saturday."

At the bistro, the manseemed unhinged and self­righteous, Barbier remem­bered. He had written lettersto newspapers about con­spiracies, he told her. But hewas too smart for the worldand had to dumb down hismissives so the masses mightunderstand them.

ing, There's something wrongwith this. He's out ofhis mindbecause normal people don'ttalk about this kind of thing,"'she said."He was just so odd,and I felt really weird feelingswith him. Something insidewas like,'Just don't set himotK Just smile and nod."'

She and her friend foundan excuse to slip away.

Houser, a mentally ill59-year-old, terrified his ownfamily and ranted in onlineforums about African-Ameri­cans, Jews and gays. He hadlost his wife and his houseand left behind a paper traildocumenting a long historyof seeking vengeance.

Five days after the chancemeeting at the bistm, Houserwalked into the theater,bought a ticket to the 7 p.m.showing of'Trainwreck" andpicked a seat two rows fmmthe back. Twenty minutes intothe movie, he stood up in thedarkness and, according tothose who knew him, let loosea lifetime's reserve of rage.

Five hundred miles awayin Houser's hometown ofColumbus, Georgia, someformer neighbors say his lifewas a decades-long collisioncourse with disaster.

"He's been known as alunatic and a fool around thisneck of the woods for years,"said Patrick Williams, an an­tiques dealer who once filed apolice report alleging Housersold him a stolen iron fenceat a flea market."He was ahighlyintelligent guy butmean as a snake and danger­ous. I wasn't a bit surprisedwhen I saw his picture on TV.And no one else that knewhim was surprised either."

Houser, who went by Rusty,was known as odd and ec­centric in the cluster of townsnear the state line betweenGeorgia and Alabama wherehe lived nearly all his life.

Neighbors said he filled hisin-ground pool with hundredsof koi. He flew a Confederateflag, passed doomsday fliersaround his neighborhood,pounded out angry onlinemissives about corruption andinjustice and spouted admira­tion for Adolf Hitler.

He fit the familiar mold ofmass shooters, said JamesAlan Fox, a criminologist atNortheastern University, au­thor and prominent expert onmassacres. Houser was para­noid, blamed everyone buthimself, alienated his familyand survived in a world ofself-imposed isolation."Ifyou gave me a list of

names, I would have pickedhis out as the one that doneit," said Vince Woodward,who was then active in localRepublican politics.

The Morris family areBaker City born and bredlivestock people.

Dan Morris can recallmultiple instances where hehad to run back and forthbetween nieces and nephewsshowing livestock at oneend of the Baker CountyFairgrounds, and his ownchildren at the opposite end.

Dan said the Morriseswere shocked when theyheard they had been hon­ored as the 2015 Fair Familyof the Year.

sWe figured we'd get itsome day, but not now," Dansaid.

Dan grew up on a ranchand started participating inFuture Farmers of Amer­ica (FFAl as a high schoolsophomore.

His son Drew, now 22,started showing pigs in theseventh grade through 4-H.

His daughter, Morgan,20, got involved at an evenearlier age — she startedshowing sheep in thefourth grade. After that, sheshowed steers and breedheifers.

"Dad and Haley wouldhelp with every event wehad," Morgan said.

Haley married Dan andjoined the family in 2009.She hadn't had ranchingexperience before, but shegot a crash course.

"It was definitely a learn­ing experience," Haley said."I wasn't raised on a ranch."

Haley has worked as anoccupational health special­ist at St. Luke's Clinic- East­ern Oregon Medical Associ­ates for 13 years.

''When you grow up inBaker, everyone is entangledin the agriculture loop,"Dan said. He worked for theThomas Angus Ranch fora number of years beforemoving to his current job asbeef specialist for All West/Select Sires.

Dan was livestock judgingcoach for several years forthe FFA, and worked asSwine Superintendent forthree years.

"It's kind of like babysit­ting," he said."But it's a lotof fun."

Following that, Danworked as Beef Superin­tendent for one year."Samething, different barn," Dan

of the Fair Board for threeyears. He describes theexperience as "really good,"and said he spent a lot of histime applying for grants toexpand the Fair's facilities.

The Beef Barn, he said,needs to be expanded to fitthe growing interest thatBaker City kids have forshowing beef cattle.

"The next generation ofkids coming up and show­ing beef are almost all thechildren of cattle farmers,"Morgan said. "So there are alot of kids who want to showbeef in Baker."

The Morris' have a herd oftheir own, about 150 cattleon a property near SuttonCreek southeast of town.

EXCERPTS FROM LETTERSNOMINATING THE MORRISES"The Morris family is keeping the 4H program aliveby helping other 4H families participate with livestockprojects. They have opened their little piece of paradiseon the outskirts of town to a few 4H kids to let them keeptheir projects at their place."

— Michelle Kaseberg

"A true fair family is there for the kids. Not just their ownkids but all the other kids in the livestock barns. A truefair family is there to volunteer and is there to cheer onnot just their own kids but all the kids. And because ofDan and Haley, Drew and Morgan, and for that mattera lot of other kids who they're not even related to, havehad a shining example of just what that true fair family is.Together the group makes an incredibly strong supportunit for not only the Morris kids but for all of BakerCounty's 4H and FFA kids."

of the house, but they're notout of the ranching business.Morgan works at RobbinsFarm Equipment on 10thStreet, and Drew works atColton Cattle Company.

This year, Dan and Haleyhave been housing five pigsfor three 4-H kids in town.

"They ride their bikes outhere," Dan said. "They workthem out, feed them andwater them."

Dan believes 4-H and theFFA are important becausethey improve the communi­ty and benefit the kids who

"It makes you morepersonable," Morgan said."Itpushes you to be outgoing."

In their spare time, theMorrises enjoy camping,hunting and spending timeat their cabin together.

Dan says he tries to getDrew and Morgan to comeback and help out on theranch whenever he can.

sWorking the cows is goodfamily bonding," Dan said.

BAKER COUNTY FAIR BAKER CITY HERALD — 3CMONDAY, JULY 27, 201 5

Excerpts from storiesin the Baker City Heraldabout previous recipients ofthe Fair Family of the Yearaward:

2008: PhillipsFamily

2014:SiddowayFamily

The Siddoways are a busybunch.

Between keeping up withranching, school, athleticsand work, the Durkee familydidn't consider that they'dbe chosen as Baker County'sFair Family of the Year.

Not that they had time tothink about it.

"I never would have ex­pected it, that's for sure," saidTerri, the mother."There'sother families more deserv­ing than ours.

"It's quite an honor."

2013: WarnerFamily

The Warner family mightnot have any young membersshowing an animal nextmonth at the Baker CountyFair, but their lives have beenentwined with the summertradition for more than 50years.

And this year, they will behonored as the Baker CountyFair Family for 2013.

Michelle Cockram Kas­eberg nominated the family,saying"The Warners havebeen an integral part of thefair since'forever.' "

And what haven't theydone?

From showing animalsto serving as club leaders toacting as auctioneers, thisfamily has touched all facetsof the fair.

'You know they are goodauctioneers when they getme to bid $300 for a huckle­berry pie," Kaseberg wrote.

his father, Paul Sr., startedparticipating in 4-H activitiesat age 9.

Paul Jr. and his late wife,Donna, had two sons, Garyand Dennis, and a daughter,Candi iLayl, all of whomwere active in 4-H, too.

And so were Candi'schildren, daughter, Josey Lay,and son, Coleman Lay.

With such a lengthy fam­ily history in 4-H and theCounty Fair, Candi said therewas never any question thather children would followin her footsteps in the show

"I just didn't know anyother way," she said."It's justalways been the way we wereall brought up."

2010: CoomerFamily

The Warners, Fair Family of the Year, 2013.

Mark Coomer said he washumbled.

'There has been an elitegroup of families in the pastand I don't know that we fitinto that group," he said."I'mreally shocked, humbled andhonored."

But 4-H'ers Lydia Ander­sen, 15, and Katie Rowan hadsomething different to say.

In a handwritten letternominating the Coomers,Andersen wrote that each ofthe Coomers has had differ­ent and unique involvementsin the 4-H community.

"Mark Coomer is the beefleader for the Good Shep­herds 4-H club,"Andersen

She said Mark helped clubmembers understand theiranimals and made himselfavailable to answer all theirquestions.

Andersen referred toMark's wife, Beverly, as"Mama Coomer" because sheacts as a surrogate mother tomany of the kids she drives toand from 4-H competitions.

That's just the way theCoomers feel about 4-H,Mark said.

2012: Roband DianneEllingson

The Coomer family wentabove and beyond the call ofduty in their work with 4-H,and their dedication earnedthem the title of 2010 BakerCounty Fair Family of theYear.

2009: Geraldand BonnieColton

Coltons have defUy mannedthe weighing station for the4-H competition, whichiscertainly an intense, high­

And four years ago, whenGerald's father passed awayon July 31, 2005, the funeralwas postponed so the Coltonscould tend to their responsibili­ties at the fair.

"It's embarrassing," Bonnie

said ofreceiving the honor,which is in its ninth year.'There are a lot m ore peoplewho are deserving."

For nearly a decade, BethPhillips has volunteered asthe beef superintendent atthe Baker County Fair out ofa love for kids and cattle.

In recognition of all theyears Beth and her husband,Fred Phillips, and their sons,Ryan and Clay, have given tothe fair's beef program and4-H clubs, they have beenhonored as the 2008 FairFamily.

"Beth enjoys working withthe animals and the kids,and she is very good at it,"Fred Phillips said."It is alabor of love."

While Fred and Beth gottheir start in 4-H programsand showing animals at theBaker County Fair as kidsin the 1960s, Beth took onthe role ofbeefleader for thePoco-Wing 4-H club in 1999and accepted the role as theFair's beef superintendentthe same year.

"I grew up with cattle, so Ithought it would be easier forme to be beef superintendentthan it would be for someother people," Beth said."Atthe time, my kids were show­ing steers, so instead of justoverseeing them, I took onthe responsibility to overseeeverybody."As the beefleader for the

Poco-Wing club, Beth helped12 to 15 youths keep theirproject animals on track.

In their letter nominatingRob and Dianne Elling­son, Ron and Ann Rowanwrote: "The Ellingsons havecertainly taken their turnin volunteer positions. Robexemplifies volunteerism."

Why would they go andsay a thing like that?

For starters, Rob served foryears on the Fair Board. Nowhe's still part of an advisory

The Rowans also wrotethat, sWithout Rob, therewouldn't be all this for ourfamilies."

When the fair facilitieswere being rebuilt andmoved to their presentlocation, Rob oversaw theconstruction of the show barnand animal buildings.

Said the Rowans, "Hisdonation of time, equipmentand labor saved the proj­ect thousands of dollars inconstruction costs, and BakerCounty now has a first-classfair facility."

Plus, Ann Rowan men­tioned Dianne's involvementwith the PEO Sisterhood, anorganization dedicated to fur­thering women's educationalopportunities.

Dianne has especiallyhelped young women getscholarships to attend col­lege."Once a teacher alwaysa teacher," Rowan said.

nominating letters for the award."As an example, their club's beef

animals scored over 85 percentChoice, and they had the top threeplacements of Carcass of M erit atthe 2002 fair," Markgraf said. "Thatis the second year they have scoredvery high."

Markgraf called Jean Bunch"thetaxi, chore girl, livestock hauler,food fetcher and hug dispenser. Shewill be in the audience to cheer allkids, not just relatives."

2002: BarrFamily

The Jacobs family of Keating, afamily of"doers and givers" and"thebackbone" of the Lower Powder 4-HClub, is this year's Baker CountyFair Family.

The Jacobses are the seventhBaker County family to receive theaward.It's a well-deserved honor, accord­

ing to North Powder's Dotty Miles,who nominated the Keating Valleysheep and cattle ranchers for theirlongtime devotion to 4-H and to theBaker County Fair.

'They have provided the sheepfor the sheep fitting contest formany years and always purchasea 4-H'ers animal at the sale," Mileswrote in her nomination letter."Thefamily is active in the life of theircommunity in Keating, volunteer­ing as firefighters, school supportersand social leaders and participa­tors."

Ralph Jacobs has been herd­ing sheep for 80 years; he and hiswife, Hildreth, will celebrate their55th wedding anniversary as theyalways do, during the Baker CountyFair on Aug. 10.

''When I was in 4-H we heldit wherever we could," Hildrethremembers."Sometimes it was atthe Natatorium," where the OregonTrail Regional Museum (now theBaker Heritage Museum) is now.

For many years Ralph served asthe fair's sheep superintendent.

"It's an experience to see all the

people you have worked with dowell," the family patriarch said fromhis living room last week."To seethem achieve something that's notsecond-rate is our reward."

family dedicating a great deal oftime to the youth of Baker County... Our children's lives have beenenriched by the generosity of theRohner family. Having been raisedon a dairy, I very m uch wanted mychildren to participate in 4-H with adairy project and learn about the in­dustry that is part of their heritage.Rohners have made this all possiblewith their program many affection­ately call 'Rohner's Loaners.' ..."Through this program my

children have learned about manyaspects of the dairy industry as wellas the ups and downs of agriculture.They have learned about propercare and feeding, disease control,breeding, calving and even what theindustry calls death loss. Kate, Johnand (John's mother, dairy founderClarene Rohnerl are always patientwith the kids when it comes torecord-keeping, phone calls toanswer a question and helping withthe projects."

"It's a reason why 4-H is verynear and dear to my heart," Kas­eberg said.

Together with the families oftheir brother, Daryl, and sister,Jeanne Mohr — the children ofFred and Annette Cockram — Kas­eberg, Ward and their families havebeen selected Baker County FairFamily for 2005.

Beginning with JQ Freeman,five generations have led the clubas adults or served as club presi­dent. That includes Kaseberg's son,Jeff Sherman, who has served aspresident for five years, and Ward'sdaughter, Morgan, who is takingover for Sherman.

While it was her parents, theCockrams, who were instrumentalin developing the fair into the gemit is today — he as fair board mem­ber and president and the manchiefly responsible for raising themoney for the present facilities, sheas fair manager for 10 years untilher death in 2001 — Kasebergcredits 4-H leaders and OSU Ex­tension agents for showing her theimportance of passing the mantleof volunteerism along to her ownchildren.

grandchildren, not all of whom livelocally.

But once the family's assembled,it's a sim ple matter to get theWendts to open up about the BakerCounty Fair and to share memoriesof their beloved Lone Pine Heirs,the 4-H chapter that BarbaraWendt founded in 1965 and contin­ues to help lead.

Here's how to do it: Just gatheras many Wendts as will fit into thefamily's living room, get out yournotebook, and start scribbling.

While his children were growingup, Carl Wendt, a Haines rancher,concentrated on 4-H livestockevents while Barbara Wendt fo­cused on the indoor events, includ­ing cooking and sewing.

2006: RohnerFamily

The gifts that the Rohner fam­ily offer to area youth range fromteaching generations of themsewing skills to offering up animals— particularly dairy cows — for4-H youth to show in the fair. Their"Rohner's Loaners" program islegendary in area 4-H circles.

The true value in what the fourgenerations have offered over theyears is spelled out in the lettersthat nominated the Rohners for thesixth-annual Fair Family award:

sTake a short visit out to Rohner'sDairy and it becomes readily ap­parent what hard working, busypeople they are," wrote Craig andCherie Ward."Hang around a littlelonger or visit the Baker CountyFair and you will find the same

2005: CockramFamily

Sisters Michelle Kasebergand Cherie Ward, two of thefour leaders of the JQ Livestock4-H club, are continuing a traditionfor excellence begun by their great­grandfather, JQ Freeman, whohomesteaded on Sutton Creek andwas one of the co-founders of the4-H movement in Baker County.

You can tell how important thathistory is to the current leaders justby the name of the club.

2004: WendtFamily

2003: BunchFamily

"Don't make it too flowery," JeanBunch suggests at the end of theinterview.sWe're just plain peoplewho enjoy being involved with ouryoungsters' activities."

Bunch, the matriarch of the2003 Baker County Fair Family,will have her wish. But it's difficultto tick off the contributions of threegenerations of the Durkee ranch­ing family without making theirefforts seem, well, honorable.

Duane and Jean Bunch hadthree children: Susan, Rodd andCheryl Buchanan. The qualityof the children's achievements is"self-evident," according to KayMarkgraf, who wrote one of the

2001: MarkgrafFamily

For years, the Barr family­Andy and Kris, and their threeoldest children Heather, Kati andDrew — were mainstays at theBaker County Fair.

Kris was the longtime beefsuperintendent, and Andy was (andstill is) one of those behind-the­scenes operators who helps makethe buyers barbecue on Saturdaya much-anticipated and popularaffair.

Then the children grew up.They've found other pursuits dur­ing fair week. Two moved away.A third is still in college, living athome while he fights forest fires.

Now it's young son Will's turnto leave his mark on the BakerCounty Fair.

Will, who's 9, is set to enter thePoco-Wing 4-H chapter this year,just like his siblings before him. Hisparents say they are excited he isabout to enjoy the same opportuni­ties that the older children did.

According to Mary Ellen Ander­son, who submitted the winningessay in this year's Baker CountyFair Family contest, the Gusand Kay Markgraf family epito­mizes the spirit of educating youththrough 4-H and fair projects."I have been fortunate to be able

to be associated with the Mark­grafs," Anderson writes."Theyare very much a dedicated andunselfish family when it comes tocommunity service. Gus and Kaysee the importance of educating theyouth, not only scholastically, butthrough good wholesome work inbeing a part of the agricultural wayoflife."

Gus served as Baker CountyExtension agent and Kay as 4-Hleader for the Poco-Wing 4-Hclub. All three of the Markgrafs'children, now adults, were activein 4-H programs, and their eightgrandchildren have been or arecurrently involved in 4-H and theBaker County Fair.

Getting the Wendt familytogether at their Haines ranch fora portrait and family interview isno simple task. After all, Carl andBarbara Wendt have eight children,11 grandchildren, and six great­
