BRIEFING

Community Orchestra starts rehearsals soon The Baker Community Orchestra will begin weekly rehearsals this Thursday, Jan. 15 in the band room at Baker High School, 2500 E St. Music handout will begin at 6:15 p.m. and rehearsal will begin at 7 p.m. Rehearsals will continue eachThursday evening in the band room through the spring. All interested musicians are welcome. There is no charge to participate, though free will donations to help pay for music are welcome. No auditions are required. We welcome all orchestra or band instruments, including guitar and bass guitar. The Orchestra always has a need for strings, particularly cello, viola and bass. The orchestra is also in need of trumpets and percussion. The Orchestra welcomes "drop in" musicians to come in and see what we are doing and participate for the fun of it at any of our rehearsals. The purpose of the Orchestra is to provide the opportunity for community members to participate in making music, in particular, adult "comeback" players. Many of our members enjoyed playing in high school or college, then quit playing for some time, often due to no opportunity to play. Others members have recently learned to play an instrument to join in. If you are interested and would like more information or to chat about joining, please call Brian Watt at 541523-4662.

A display at the Oregon Trail lnterpretive Center includes depictions of what the Boardman to Hemingway power line would look like from the Center depending on the line's route.

Kourtney Duncan couldn't understand why her fiance, Devin Jean, insisted that she rush home fiom her job at McDonald's in Baker City. Then she saw the lottery ticket. And she saw the figure:

$75,000. through Northeastern Oregon and Southern Idaho because its current transmission system is at capacity. BLM is the lead federal agency and will play a major role in deciding the line's route, which will cross both public and private land. Offtcials from BLM, Idaho

About 80 people turned out fora pairofopen houses that the BLM hosted last week in Baker County concerning the proposed Boardman to Hemingway power line iB2Hl. Idaho Power Company wants to build the 500-kv line

Power, U.S. Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Energy iODOEl were on hand Thursday in Baker City and Friday in Durkee to answer questions about the project, which has been in the works since 2007.

"I didn't know what to say," Duncan said. A scream of joy certainly would have been appropriate. The unexpected jackpot fiom a $5 scratch-off ticket that Jean bought on Nov. 6 at the Gas 'N Snack on 10th Street has had a profound effect on Duncan and Jean, who have been a couple for about five years and have a two-year-old son, Kolby Jean.

Eeerts yredict moderatewinter By Pat Caldwell For the Baker City Herald

Winter is less than a month old, but weather experts expect conditions across the region to be slightly warmer and drier than normal even as other portions of the U.S. wrestle with extreme cold. Closer to home, though,

the winter will most likely reveallesssnowfalland more m oderate temperatures, said Jay Breidenbach, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boise. "If you are betting, you would definitely bet warmer and drier," Breidenbach said. Kathy Orr / Baker City Herald

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 12, 1965 Mayor Ralph McNeil asked the city manager last night to make a decision concerning former Chief of Police Fred G. Still without any undue delay. The explosive issue erupted at the council session as a "standing-room-only" crowd of citizens appeared at council chambers. A.C. Lighthall, president of the citizens Committee for Fred Still, directed specific questions at City Manager Fred C. Dyer and termed his answers as "evasive." 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 12, 1990 PHOTO: Fuel tanks out— The removal ofabandoned fuel tanks and pumps was completedThursday at the Baker Municipal Airport by city employees and Sackos Excavating. State Department of Environmental Quality regulations and the city's insurance costs prohibit keeping the unprotected steel tanks in the ground, said Jim Galyen, Baker City Department of PublicWorks foreman. The empty tanks were 32 feet long and 54 inches in diameter. The pumps probably will be sold, he added. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 12, 2005 The gavel once again belongs to Charles Hofmann. Hofmann's six colleagues on the Baker City Council unanimously elected him as mayor Tuesday evening during the council's first meeting in 2005. This will be Hofmann's third two-year term as mayor. He previously served as mayor from January1989 through January1993. Outgoing Mayor Peter Ellingson nominated Hofmann Tuesdayevening.There wereno othernominees. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 20, 2014 For Baker City'sTeresa Perkins, tradition still matters. Perkins — who is in the process of purchasing Kennedy's Eastside Grocery — said while a desire to own her own business played a major role in her decision, the potential to continue a hometown legacy also fueled her choice. Perkins stepped behind the counter at the venerated Baker City establishment late last week. She said she is purchasing the business from current owners — Kevin Logsdonand Jay Raff ety — and is happy about hernew role as a small business owner.

The BLM, which recently unveileda 3,600-page Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the B2H project, will accept public comments through March 19. The DEIS details the purposeand need oftheproject, providesa detailed overview oftheproject,describeshow it will affect the environment and contains maps of proposed routes. About 50people attended Thursday's meeting at the Sunridge Inn in Baker City. County Commissioner Mark Bennett attended both that meeting and Friday's open house at the Durkee Community Hall, which had about 30 attendees. Bennett said the project's benefit for Baker County is an abstract one. "It really is Benn ett distressing. If you look at it in its purest sense, we're building a freeway through Baker County with no on ramps or off ramps. There's the abstract benefit of grid stability," he sald. Bennett said B2H wouldn't resultin betteror cheaper power in Baker County. He said he appreciates the opportunity the open house meetings had for local residentstolearn about the project.

ing situation," Bennett said. 'You may not agree — I don't agree myself — but at least it's one on one. We can interact." Nancy Peyron of Baker City, one of the founders of Move Idaho Power, a local group that opposes B2H, echoed Bennett. Peyron is adamantly against the construction of the power line, but she agreed with Bennett that the open houses were useful. "They didn't have to do that.Iappreciate they are doing it, though," she said Peyron attended both open houses. She was a volunteer at a tablemanned by theBaker County Planning Department. The table was a help desk for people who wanted help submitting comments to BLM. ''We asked ifthey needed help making comments so they would fit within the BLM criteria," Peyron said. She explained that comments could be thrown out if they weren't"substantive" to the DEIS. "I want people's comments to count," Peyron said. She is working with Bennett to have a similar table set up in the Baker County Courthouse, 1995 Third St., that will allow citizens to submit comments to BLM.

thereon a drop in basisto allow citizens to get help in wording their comments and submitting them. Peyron said she is worriedthatpeopleareburned out after all the years they have been dealing with the B2H project coming through Baker County and may not be as willing in the past to submit comments. ''We need people to write. It's really important that they respond this time," she sald. Visual impact is one of the biggest concerns that landowners have about the project. Kevin McCoy, an outdoor recreation planner for the BLM's Baker Resource Area, manned a visual impact stationthat gave people attending the open houses a perspective ofhow power line towers would look at various distances. "Humans are very visual. A 195-foot -talltower' sperspectivecan beplanted in someone's head as very large — a dominating Goliath," said McCoy. The visual display is designedtogivepeople a realisti cideaofwhat thetowers actually would look like. "That way people can take the monster away from it and can comment on a more realisti cperspective,"M cCoy said."I've seen a lot of people come in very emotionally charged and leave better informed." He said that isbetterfor them and all agencies involved in the public comment process. McCoy said the process is a two-way street. "I want to compliment the Baker residents as well as the ones here (at the Durkee open house meeting). Their comments really count," he said."They help the district manager make an informed

WHAT'S NEXT? The BLM will release a Final Evironmental Impact Statement (FEIS) in early 2016, and a Record of Decision later that year. The latter document will include the route for the power line across public land. After the BLM is finished, the Oregon Department of Energy (DOE) will decide whether to issue Idaho Power Co. a permit to actually build the line along the route the BLM prefers. The DOE permitting process is projected to take about 18 months. If DOE issues the certificate, then Idaho Power would negotiate property sales or easements with individual property owners along the proposed route. Idaho Power officials don't expect to start construction until 2018 at the earliest. The B2H line wouldn't be in service before 2020.

decision — not on just what we analyze, but based on what the public comments here." Rancher Bruce Owen, 77, is a 21-year Durkee resident who attended the Durkee open house. Although opposedtothe project,he was a little more confident that his input would count after attending. ''We do appreciate them (Idaho Power and BLM officialsl coming out. I hope it's going to be worth while. I asked cynically if it would make a difference and I was assured it would," Owen said. He said the open house hasn't really eased his concerns about the power line passing near his property.

EDITORIAL

BT1 BI1

e ne In a moment when Markeith Reese had ample reason to be thinking only ofhimself, he instead focused on people he had never even met. The 21-year-old Baker City man might have saved four lives as a result. Reese was driving home about 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 3.

He had just lost his job. But when Reese saw flames coming from the home at 3010 Campbell St., he forgot his own troubles and ran toward the fire. Reese alerted the man, woman and two children inside and helped them get out of the house, unhurt. Fire investigators haven't been able to figure out what started the fire, which gutted the home. It's impossible to know what would have happened to those four people if Reese either hadn't driven past, or ifhe had assumed no one was in danger. Fortunately, Reese's instincts were to try to help regardless of whether his aid was needed. We can think of no better example, or description, of agood Samaritan.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: If you like taxes, Oregon's 2015 Legislature could be a very special one for you. No pint or byte may soon go untaxed. Existing exemptions or deductions may be stripped. And some in the Legislature are pushing for a change to make it easier to raiserevenue. Citygovernments could tax localsalesofalcoholicbeverageswith thepassage ofa billbased on legislative concept 1036. Cities can't do that now. The proposal would eliminate the prohibition. Warmhearted souls at the bar could rally behind the slogan: Have another, it's good for Bend. But when you tax something, you get less of it, so we don't imagine that Oregon's brewers and distillers will be so pleased. City governments could also tax Internet access and telephone service under another legislative concept. Of course, many cities do that already in a way through franchise fees for the operators of such businesses. Some cities must yearn to be more fiee to tax. There's more oomph in that particular legislative concept — 321. It allows more room for taxing in the future. It restricts future tax prohibitions by the state on local governments. A tax prohibition could last only four years. Have you thought food prices were too low? Did you pay too little for a Christmas tree? The Legislature has remedy in store aimed at farmers. It's going to push their costs up. Legislat ive concept 1674 would remove some existing tax exemptions for farm products and machinery. They would be slated to expire unless they are renewed. What a nice present for Oregon's agricultural industry and consumers. If you are paying a mortgage, you are getting some attention, too. The Legislature is not going to make it easier for you to pay your mortgage. Legislative concept 903 aims to capthemortgage interestdeduction on state taxes. Article IV Section 25 of the Oregon Constitution requires that three-fifths of all members of each house of the Legislature shall be necessary to pass bills for raising revenue. Legislative concept 332 would put on the ballot a constitutional amendment to make the requirement a simple majority. There are some tax changes on the table for 2015 that we do like. For instance, Oregon's gas tax is not capturing enough revenue because of changes in vehicle fuel efficiency. It needs to be changed. But probably the best thing for the Legislature to do is to vote down every other one of these proposals. With Democratic majorities in both houses and a Democratic governor, though,2015 could bea greatyearforthosethatbelieve the government that governs best is that which always find new ways to tax.

re onnee s 0 axcar on Climate change hurts Eastern Oregon's economy, which is rooted in agricultural, ranching, forestry and tourism. Summers are becoming hotter and drier with rain falling in heavy storms, rather than a replenishing drizzle. Snowpack is decreasing. Waterresources,already compromised in many locations, are more threatened, decreasing agricultural and pastoral productivity. Reduced summer and fall stream flows are warmer, compromising the health of many fish species, including salmon and steelhead. Key timber species — Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine — are less abundant. The fir eseason has already extended by 2.5 months since 1970. Tourism and hunting, both dependent on healthy ecosystems, are facing increasing stress. Hot summers and more particulate matter from forestfires severely impact the health of the elderly and those with respiratory problems. But these hardships are tiny compared to the challenges our children and grandchildrenface ifw efailto acton climate change. Every reputable authority — from the Pentagon to the United Nations — warns that our current trajectory will result will lead to unprecedented social, economic and military

CAMILATHORNDIKE DAN GOLDEN crises. If we cannot secure a transition from fossi lfuelsbeforethe end ofthe decade, it will not be possible for future generationstoadapt. Fortunately, the solution is in sight. Oregon has the rare opportunity to lead our country and the world with the policy economists and climatologists say we need. We can hold out-of-state polluters accountable for climate change with a price on carbon, either by charging them a fee or by requiring them to buy permits before they burn fossil fuels. On Dec. 8, the Northwest Economic Research Center at Portland State University presented to the legislature their long-awaited study on the impacts of a state carbon pollution fee in Oregon. It showed a significant reduction in carbon pollution and a negligible effect on our economy. Another study, conducted by Regional Economic Models Inc. (REMI), predicts that a national carbon tax would create 450,000 new jobs in our region by 2025 — if all the revenue were returned to citizens as a dividend.

Buckminster Fuller once said that a problem adequatelystated isvery nearly a problem solved. Our problem is not ashortage ofsolarpanelsorethanol or hybrid cars, nor is it an abundance of gas and oil pipelines. Our problem is underpricedfossilfuels.W edo not pay their hidden costs when we fill our tanks — that comes later, in the form of emergency drought relief, hurricane cleanup and forest fires. If polluters were accountable for these costs, a price signal would reverberate throughout our economy. It would reward smart decisions and punish wasteful ones. Both proven and novel energy alternatives would attract new capital. Nothing but a price on carbon can spark the systemic transformation we need, and that's because it targetsthe problem atitssource. The 2015 Oregon Legislature should hold polluters accountable for the damage theydo toEastern Oregon by making them pay to pollute. And 100 percent of the revenue should be distributed evenly among all Oregonians, because the natural beneficiaries are the victims of climate change — all of us.

BRIEFING

By Tim Booth Ap Sports Writer

SEATTLE — This time Russell Wilson did it with his arm, passing the Seattle Seahawks into the NFC championship game for the second straight year with a big assist from Kam Chancellor. The Seahawks are one stepcloserto defending their Super Bowl title. "It's exciting but the job is not done. There is still a lot m ore to do,"Wilson said. Wilson threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns, Chancellor returned an interception 90 yards for a TD midway through the fourth quarter and the Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers 31-17 on Saturday night in an NFC divisional playofF game. Wilson was nearly flawless in one of the best playofF performances ofhis young career. He took shots downfield and was perfect on third downs. Wilson threw a 16-yard touchdown to Doug Baldwin in the first quarter, found Jermaine Kearse for a 63-yard TD in the second quarter and capped his night with a 25-yard strike to Luke Willson with 10:26 remaining that gave Seattle a 24-10

GREEN BAY, Wis.— Hobbled but happy, Aaron Rodgers might have felta bit lucky, too. No matter: The All-Pro quarterback and his Green Bay Packers are one step away from the Super Bowl. More stationary than usual because of a left calf injury, Rodgers rallied the Packers trom an 8-point deficit with two second-half touchdowns passes to beat Dallas 26-21 Sunday. The Packers i13-4l, helped immensely by a video reversal with 4:06 remaining, went undefeated at Lambeau Field this season. They head to Seattle next weekend for the NFC title game.

The Seahawks i13-4l beat Green Bay in the season opener, 36-16. "I think I got 120 minutes left in me," Rodgers said. Green Baymight not have had any time left in its season if not for referee Gene Steratore's decision. Dez Bryant's leaping,bobbling 31-yard catch atthe Packers 1 on a fourth-and-2 play was challenged by Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy. Instead of first-and-goal for Dallas i13-5l, the ball went over to the Packers. "Some people think throwing the red flag is fun," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said."It was such an impactful play, you had to challenge. It was a confident challenge. And a hopeful one, too."

One packed with controversy, as well. "Look, I'll tell you this, I've never seen that a day in my life," Bryant said."I want to know why it wasn't a catch." Because Bryant didn't maintain control all the way to the ground, as the rule states. Replays showed Bryant bobbling the ball as he rolled into the end zone, with part of it touching the field. "By rule he must hold onto it throughoutentire processofcontacting the ground," tweeted Dean Blandino, the league's director ofoS ciating."He didn't, so it is incomplete." An impassioned Bryant didn't buy it. "All I know is I had possession, I had possession of the ball coming down," Bryant said.'That's possession, right?"

Josh Adams chipped in 16 points and Riley Grabau added 15 for the Cowboys i15-2, 4-0 Mountain West), who shot 53.7 percent trom the field.

Grabau hit eight tree throws in the final 1:34.

No. 6Gonzaga beats Santa Clara SPOKANE iAPl — Basketball is considered a game of speed. For center Przemek Karnowski of No. 6 Gonzaga, the key to his success this season has been slowing his game down. Karnowski scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds asGonzaga beat Santa Clara 79-57 on Saturday. "I'm trying to be more patient on the block when I get the ball," said Karnowski, who sank 8-of-10 shots. "I look for open guys, and if they are not there I make my move." Coach Mark Few agreed that the more deliberate play of the 7-foot-1 Karnowski has led to a great run in recent games.

DENVER — Andrew Luck displaced Peyton Manning in Indianapolis, and now he might have sent his predecessor into retirement, too. Manning was murky about his future following Denver's 24-13 loss to the Colts in the AFC divisional round Sunday, the Broncos' first loss at home in 13 months. After saying last month that he planned on coming back for an 18th season, the five-time MVP wasn't so certain after his latestplayofFfi asco. "I guess I just can't give that simple answer," Manning said. "I'm processing it. So, I can't say that."

This was the third time Denver's season ended in ugly fashion since Manning switched teams in 2012.

CORVALLIS iAP) — Arizona Coach Sean Miller was critical ofhis No. 7-ranked team's defense in the second half of a 58-56 loss at Oregon State Sunday night. "If we would have been able to get any kind of stops, we would have been able to open up a four, six, eight point lead," Miller said."Our offense in the second half was plenty good enough." Conference championships aren't won or lost with a single regular season game, especially on the road, Miller

added. t

We have to learn fiom this game. We didn't deserve to win," he said.

"In our circle, we knew what we were capable of, so this doesn't come as a surprise to us," Morris-Walker said. "I think all that it proves is it's tough in this conference to win on the road," Beavers Coach Wayne Tinkle said."At theend,we made one more play than them."

Ontario and Mac-Hi have the numbers and everyone has a handful of tough wrestlers," Young sald. Friday at New Plymouth the Bulldogs went 1-1, losing a close match to New Plymouth44-36and then defeating Emmett 48-21. Young said wrestlers who competed well were James AhHee, Logan Valentine, Dylan Feldmeier, Peter Baker and Will Goodwin.

'They all went 2-0 on the day,"Young said."Jace Hays and Marco Vela both lost exciting match-ups to New Plymouth's better wrestlers. Hays lost to Levi Austin 8-6 and Vela had built a 6-2 lead over Lance Travis, but Travis caught him in a throw on the edge of the mat and was able to hold on for the 1-point win. Nick Blair and Elijah Banister did their job against New Plymouth which was to not get pinned. If they can do that against very tough opponents, it gives our team a chance to win the close duals," Young said.

DORY'S DIARY

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Fighting to preserve FireFighting history In 1969 I looked up at the bell above the La Grande Fire Department building and asked the commissioners to ring that bell. They did. On Dec. 31, 2009, I wrote about the bell that hangs in the tower above the La Grande Fire Department Museum on Washington Avenue and Elm Street — same bell, different building usage. On Dec. 29 of just last year, I wrote about the bell that... All three times the bell has drawn me to it without advance warning. It was there and needed to be rung, I thought. So, the first time I asked the Fire Department to do the ringing, they did. The second time, I wrote more about the history of the bell, even though it was silent amidst its holiday decorations and light for the Christmas season. The third time I just worried about its being up there in the dark with no decorations and no ringing, so I repeated its history so the public would know. It haunts me yet to see the quiet building and the equally quiet bell. So on Jan. 7, 2015, I went to see La Grande's Fire Chief, Bruce Weimer, and we talked about the bell but so many other things regarding the Fire Department as well. Rescue Hose Co. No. 1 was originally formed in 1887 in La Grande with volunteers answering the call of a bell when fires erupted, growing from the bucketbrigade tothe cartofhoses pulled by human hands, to the fire trucks and ladders of today. I knew I had to follow the story to its conclusion. This is only the beginning. Back on July 18, 2000, I became member Number 8 of the Rescue Hose Company No. 1 as it was organized in La Grande as a Regional Fire Museum for the County of Union. I have carried that card in my purse for the past 14V2 years, but when I went to show it to Fire Chief Weimer, I found that I had removed it and placed it among my other mementoes. It's back in place now. The dayswhen the museum came into being is still bright in my mind. Don Keeling was the force behind establishing the museum, so as Assistant Volunteer Fire Chiefhe signed my card as I paid my dues to become a member. Bruce Weimer came to La Grande as our fire chief in 1996, so he also signed his name officially to my card. I was excited about the fact that La Grande was to have a museum and one that would be located right downtown where the active department had been before moving out onto Cove Avenue. So, I had lined right up to welcome the new organization with great hopes. Keeling and his volunteers worked diligently in making the museum succeed. The results are now stored in the buildingbehind closed doors,sovery unfortunately, open only by request for lack of personnel to man it. It is a sad story of one man's overwhelming attempt to preserve something worthwhile in La Grande to draw tourists to the downtown area. As I was in my younger years, I offered to help Don with his publicity of a planned newsletter, but the timing was not quite right. Then, he became ill and passed away, leaving the museum in the hands ofhis faithful fellows and his wife. She, too, is gone now and so are many others who struggled to keep the museum of artifacts and antique fire engines in the eye of the public.

Chicken tikka masala skewered and ready for the next step.

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

Making Indian food has always been a stretch for me. I always enjoy eating my favorite dishes at restaurants but felt intimidated by the ingredients. I am trying a few new recipes and am finding them pretty basic to make and full of great flavors. You can make your own paneer cheese, but I bought mine from Whole Foods. I hope to start making cheese in 2015, and I will keep you posted. Ifound itreally easytoorder the spices online. They are quite cost effective and often ship for free. I ordered from SpiceJungle.com. The reason I am sharing these recipes is because they are delicious! Bite-sized paneer cubes cooked in tomato sauce makes a fabulous cream sauce and a great addition to any Indian dish. This is an easy recipe and goes well with other Indian dishes. The Chicken tikka masala recipe requires a bit of effort but the result is worth it! It is not difficult but there are a few steps to follow. This is the perfect dish to make ahead of time, because the combination of flavors is even better the next day. As always I would love to hear what you are cooking.

"The plants are resting and so should I."

Chicago Tnbune

CHICAGO — Winter has settled in, and for many gardeners here and across the country, it's a time for quiet reflection before the flurry of spring activities. You may have stowed your trowel and packed up your pruners, but there are plenty of ways to get your quota of green. We talked to veteran gardeners and landscape professionals fortheiradvice.

— Patricia Bailey, Palos Park, Illinois, gardener

Explore a garden's winter bones Winter is a time when Anne Roberts, president of Anne Roberts Gardens in Chicago, takes a short break from gardeninstallations to muse over design ideas. "I go to the Chicago Botanic Garden for inspiration all year long but in the winter it's wonderful, too," Roberts says. eYoucan see the form of trees and large beds massed with plants. The Japanese Garden itherel has incredible forms in the winter." She also looks to the Internet and calls Houzz a wonderful resource of photos and inspiration."It can be searched based on the type of home and landscape you are lookingfor,"Robertssays. 'Taking classes is another great way for homeowners to dream and design their landscapes during the winter."

Forest reflections For Noel Zethmayr, librarian at the west suburban LaGrange Public Library, a long walk in the forest is where she finds her garden muse. "I love to bundle up and get out to Fullersburg Woods in isuburbanl Hinsdale just to remember that some plants still look beautiful when they're brown," Zethmayr says.'They provide such structure with their

night. Seed and chop your chilies. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and add the butter. Next, add the garlic and chilies, and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onion and brown until caramelized, cooking for about 20 minutes. Don't rush this process, this brings out the flavor of the sauce. Add the cumin, paprika, and garam rnsall. Cook for a few minutes allowing the flavors to combine and release. Add salt and pepper and then add the chopped tomatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Put the sauce in the blender and puree until smooth then return it back to the pan. Add the

As the garden catalogs arrive, she also likes to relax with faew in hand and a pen to circle potential new plants and seeds, and to dog-ear the pagesforfuturereference. "My wintertime inspiration comes from morning walks with my dog, Max, followed by coffee in my breakfast room, which is filled with plants," says landscape architect Scott Mehafey of south suburban Flossmoor. "Of course I love winter walks through The Morton Arboretum or Chicago Botanic Garden — and Garfield Park or Lincoln Park conservatories when I crave warm, moist air during our cold, dry winters."

Easy introspection Sometimes you don't have to gofarforinspiration.W ith hundreds of hostas lying dormant in her frozen soil, Patricia Bailey of suburban Palos Park uses this as an opportunity to mull over her landscape. "It's a good time to stay in and be introspective and appreciate the stillness," she says."But I love the garden in winter — taking photographs of the snow on the grasses and trees, or the sunrise with the light glistening on the snow." She notes that gardeners also need to unwind after the growing season dies down. "I'm watching footprints in the snow and having a fire with a glass of winespending time with my pets. The plants are resting and so should I."

Cook the chicken on low broil for 6-10 minutes, turn and cook an additional 4-8 minutes, or until done. Each broiler will vary.You can cook the chicken on the grill if you prefer. Once the chicken is cooked allow it to sit for 5 minutes to seal in the flavors. Add the chicken to the sauce, once the sauce has thickened. Bring your heat up slightly and heat through. Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro.

'The Nessiah'ringsoutagain,an theheartreioices It's a long time later. The sound of voices and music have faded away and, yet, they serve to haunt me as part of my past. Not a haunting in the way Halloween serves but as a reminder of something loved and feared lost, then found. It is late to be speaking of things of the Christmas season, but one thing seems to need mentioning as I write in my diary today, and thatisoflastDecember'si2014l performance of G. F. Handel's "The Messiah" in La Grande. With Director Don Jensen's death, it didn't seem possible that the wonderful works could be presented once again even in the same place with some of the same folks involved, but it did. It surely would have been easy to letthe performing ofthisparticular masterpiece die with the person who had been so much a part of it, but there were those who knew that the best tribute to our fiiend and mentor Don Jensen would be to keep the sound of this music in the air as the Christmas tradition. It would need someone special to take over the baton, and he was found in the person of Teun Fetz, professor of music at our own Eastern Oregon University. Others, some long-time supporters and others new to the experience, stepped up to see that the audience would once again hear this tremendous work.

DORY'S DIARY DOROTHYSWART FLESHMAN

DORY Continued from Page 1B Finally there was no way to keep the doors open either financially or with attendants. Thus ensued the results of today. Writing my diary about the year of 1969 when I requested the department to ring the tower bell, brought my membership card to mind. I am now a 14V2-year member with only one occasion to have paid my dues, the member monies intended to keep the museum expenses paid. No wonder the doors were locked after 14V2 years of non-support. How many other card-holding members are there? How many folks still carry that little card with a bit of regretful nostalgia? Had any of us given any thought to supporting it so that it wouldn't go the way of so many of La Grande's other treasures? I for one think the museum is worth keeping and should be supported through our contributions the same way as we do everything else — volunteers and financial support. The Fire Department has a worthy and interesting history that has drawn my increasing interest and which I am following, and I would like to hear from anyone else who feels the same way. If not me, then contact Fire Chief Bruce Weimer and offer your support. There wasn't anything wrong with the Museum after the loss of the originator except neglect by its community, possibly unaware that there was a need beyond the staf. The bell in the tower above the Museum could be re-activated if someone with low-voltage wire knowledge would volunteer their time and expertise in re-wiring the apparatus. Volunteers could keep the doors open for visitors, and maybe that newsletter could become a reality if member dues went towards the rent and expenses. There must be a reason why I have suddenly written about the La Grande Fire Department bell, twice four years apart, and once over 50 years ago. Is its silent presence telling me something important? Here is something we can do to honor our firemen who, too, put their lives on the line each time they are called to duty. Are you interested?

ernacle was located where The Observer complex is now at 1406 Fifth St. on the hill slope block between Fourth and Fifth streets, N and 0 avenues, but facing 0 Avenue. What an overpowering experience that had been. Just a few years ago I had wanted to sing with the group again, but in my 80s it seemed an unreasonable desire, so I asked Mr. Jensen if I could just sit in with the chorus during rehearsals and not the performances. He just smiled and made aplacefor m e. As a high soprano, I found the music suited to my voice, and the beauty of it came in the director's finesse of each note's intention and contribution to the piece as a whole so that when the last sound lingered in the air in a profound silence, I thought my heart would burst. Yes, I stayed through the sing-along and again for the performance. W hen my aging voice began giving out until I was forced to drop out of my own church's choir, I didn't attempt to go back to"The Messiah" chorus, but did attend the "sing-a-long" and was amazed to find that I still could sing this works when none other was possible.

fact, if there was publicity about it, I missed it somehow and was surprised to have a friend Vicki ask me if I would like to go to the"singa-long." I jumped at the chance, feeling that even though I could no longer sing, I could follow the score and hear the music once again. Oddly enough, when the music of the orchestra began and the soloists ,some repeat performers and some new to me, led us into the choruses, I stood with the rest. W hen my mouth opened,Isang as though I had never quit, a most unbelievable experience after not having looked at the music for several years. Ifthiswas a personal experience for myself that I write about, I know that others were feeling it for themselves as well. And, the look on the face of the new Director Fetz told ofhis own satisfaction in being thebridge between what had been and what could still be. As for me, the"sing-a-long" providedanother experience in participation with an 88-year-old voice that could still sail to the heights because of something magical about Handel's 'The Messiah." Thank you to the LDS church for making the building and its facilities open to the community, to the leadership in continuing this tradition,and to the soloists,chorus, orchestra, accompanists,and cookie bakersfor thisparticulartradition in music. I thankyou all! And, we look forward to when next year's performance fills the air. Contact Dory by email at fleshman@eoni.com

Where water

Chicago Tnbune

SAKK, Israel — The Arava desert, a salty wasteland dotted with tufts of scrub, gets only about an inch ofrain each year. And yet cows lazily low at dairy fanns that collectively produce nearly 8 million gallons of milk annually. Orange bell peppers flourish in a long swath of greenhouses that skirtstheJordanian border. Kibbutzim with vineyards somehow manage to churn out shiraz and sauvignon blanc, unfazed by the desert sun. The clusters of fanns and wineries in the Arava are a testament to Israel's acumen in water technology. One of the most parched places on Earth has found a way to beat water woes once so severe that Israel's nationalm ood roseand fell with the changing level of the Sea ofGalilee,oneoftheir most critical water sources. That expertise helps explain why the University of Chicago sought out Israel's Ben-Gurion University to help tackle one of the world's most worrisome problems— waterscarcity. In decadespast,oilwasthe commodity that shaped geopolitics, and at times, ignited wars. In coming years, water will be the commodity with that kind of clout. Water scarcity is now a crisis that has begun to have palpable, disturbing implications for much of the globe. By 2030, nearly half of the world's population will be living in regions saddled with severe water stress, the UN. projects.
