Police arrested a Baker City man Saturday on charges of possessing a short-barreled shotgun and methamphetamine.

Kyle Bothwell-Shaver, 24, of 14480 Ben Dier Lane, was arrested at 8:15 p.m. in the 2400 block of Broadway Street, Police Chief Wyn Lohner stated in a press released.

Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner recommends the City Council ban commercial marijuana businesses, even though passing such an ordinance could put the city at risk of a lawsuit.

Councilors will consider Lohner's

proposal when they meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St. 'The choice we need to make is whether or notthatpotentialrisk Lo h ner of alawsuit isgreater than the overall safety risk that al-

lowing commercial marijuana operations in our city clearly has," Lohner wrote in a report to the City Council.

The situation regarding the city's ability to restrict marijuana stores has become more complicated since last spring, when the Baker City Council joined officials in many other Oregon cities in banning medical

SALEM — Facing the biggest crisis of his decades-long political career, Gov. John Kitzhaber finds himself increasingly isolated.

Few of Kitzhaber's fellow Democrats are sticking up for him as he confronts a barrage of criticism, calls for his resignation and, potentially, a recall petition.

February is barely a week old but it's already the warmest in Baker City in almost 20 years.

The strong winds that buffeted the area during the weekend also delivered abnormally mild air.

The high temperatures on Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all records atthe Baker City Airport.

Temperatures peaked Saturdayafternoon at62 degrees.

That easily eclipsed the previous record for Feb. 7 of 53 degrees, set in 1998.

It was also the warmest February day at the airport since Feb. 23, 1995, when the high was 66.

The temperature rarely rises above 60 in Baker City in February. This is just the eighth February since 1943 with at least one 60-plus day.

The all-time record high forFebruary is66 degrees.It was set on Feb. 24, 1986, and equalled on Feb. 23, 1995.

The record streak likely will end today. The Feb. 9 record is 57, set in 1970, and theforecasthigh is 55. '

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Feb. 9, 1965 The city council is going to protest the petition filed by West Coast Airlines with the Civil Aeronautics Board for a temporary suspension of its air service to Baker.

The council, in a unanimous decision last night, instructed CityAttorney H.B. (Bardj Johnson to file the protest with the CAB. In other action, Mayor Ralph McNeil said the city manager had been given additional time in which to hire another police chief and the question will be resolved "within the next month."

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Feb. 9, 1990 The search for a courier plane missing since Monday was centered in the Mount Ireland area northeast of Granite today.

Ground searchers from Baker, Grant and Union counties were called to the mountainous region Thursday after an Air Force search and rescue satellite recorded "a single hit" of some sort of signal, according to Jerry Eames of the state Aeronautics Division in Salem. Granite and Mount Ireland are both in Grant County.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Feb. 9, 2005 Keith McGonagill skewers a hunk of ham and heads toward the organized chaos in the kitchen of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.

His offering of meat — the heel left over after he's carefully sliced quarter-inch slabs — re-energizes the pancake cooks.

And the coffee brewers.

And the dishwasher.

And the servers who transport steaming plates stacked with pancakes and ham out to the hordes of hungry diners.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Feb. 10, 2014 A relatively quiet winter season came to a screeching halt last week when a series of storms careened off the Pacific Ocean and rode roughshod over much of Oregon, and the inclement weather will probably linger through the coming weekend.

"It's just a series of days in a row. We are still in winter," Bob Diaz, meteorologist in charge of the NationalWeather Service forecasting office in Boise, said Friday.

Richard Van Roekel came into the family in 1958 and Gerald was raised by him and went by his name, although he was never legally adopted. The family lived in Southern California until 1964 and then relocated to Baker City, where Gerald finished his schooling and enlisted for the military in 1971.

He was a wellknown sight on Baker streets where he cheerfully greeted everyone sporting his cowboy hat andbeard,reminding othersofthelong ago daysof Buffalo Bill. He helped many people alter their relationships to drugs and alcohol and was greatly loved and appreciated forthetim e and attention he brought to his work.

POT SALES Continued from Page1A That means stores could eventually open that sell marijuana to any adult, not only to those who have a medical marijuana card.

There are 257 Baker County residents who have a medical marijuana card, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

In his report to the City Council, Lohner notes that the Oregon Legislature will allow voters in each city to ban commercial sales of recreational marijuana, by way of a local ballot measure.

However, voters can't do so until the next statewide general election, in November 2016. Yet as Lohner notes in his report, the state is slated to start issuinglicensestocommercial potstores in January 2016.

'That will allow commercial operations to gain a foothold," Lohner wrote in his report to councilors."If Baker City

this month — Senate Bill 542 — would give taxing authority to cities and counties, as well as give them the ability to ban recreational pot sales, even without a voter-approved initiative.

Also on the City Council's agenda for Tuesday: • City Manager Mike Kee will ask councilors to send a letter supporting Senate Bill 565 in the Oregon Legislature.

The bill, known as the Revitalize Main Street Act, would create a Historic Rehabilitation Incentive, which gives taxrebatestoowners ofhistoriccommercial buildings for renovations with a minimum investment of $10,000.

The bill could lead to improvements to some of Baker City's historic buildings, Kee wrote in a report to councilors.

• Hear a report on the bandstand that will be built this spring and summer in Geiser-Pollman Park.

The structure is slated to be finished before Miners Jubilee in late July.

adopts a prohibition ordinance now, it will provide an avenue to prevent commercial operations while the legislature sorts out their next move and while the courts sort out the pending litigation."

Beyond the timelines, there is a dispute among attorneys about whether citycouncils,before a citywidevote,can themselvesapprove ordinances banning recreational marijuana sales, even though the Legislature has not given cities that authority.

"It has been the opinion of the Baker City attorney iBrent Smith) that cities should notissue prohibitions and that they risk lawsuits if they do," Lohner wrote."However, stafFattorneys for the League of Oregon Cities and the Association of Oregon Counties feel that cities can institute local control and place prohibitions."

Measure 91 allows the state to tax marijuana sales, but prohibits cities and counties &om doing so.

A bill introduced in the Legislature

BENTZ Continued ~om Page1A The Oregon Government Ethics Commission is investigating the issue but top GOP leaders said last week they want the Oregon Attorney General to open an inquiry into the assertions regarding the governor and Hayes.

Bentz arrived in Salem last week for the 2015 session of the Oregon Legislature in a familiar political position: He represents a largely rural population inside a forum dominated by the other party. In a sense, he and his fellow Republicans hit the ground in Salem aware they will be forcedto play defense thisyear.

One key, Bentz said, for "Thereis a heckfa o lot the Republican minor

ofspace over herethat is emPty and dry. Why

egectivel inform Demoaren't 1Ve uSing it?" crats about the potential imPacts ofnumerous — State Rep. Cliff Bentz, proposed bills.

R-Ontano ''We will spend time tryingtodevelop the agenda and facts to illuminate to the members of the m ajority theimpact ofsome ofthesebad ideasto our part ofthestate,"Bentzsaid.

He conceded this legislative session will also mean he will be compelled to find links with lawmakers that often are from portions of the state that have little insight into rural Oregon's unique challenges.

"Obviously I will have to cross the aisle to get votes," Bentz said To get any of the bills he sponsors passed, Bentz said, he will need to find six Democratic votes. That means negotiation along with assistance &om voters will be critical to securesuccess forim portantruralinitiatives,he said.

"If we are going to get work done for our constituents we have to have their help," he said.

While every legislative session is different, Bentz said he is focused on helping to revive the economy in his district.

Bentz said he wants to secure an array of objectives for his constituents this session, not the least of which is to ask for $50 million for technical education for youths aged 14 to 18.

"It's hugely important. We don't have enough money going to schools for things like shop classes. It is a value not being realized," he said.

Another issue Bentz said he will support involves building more robust capabilities for rural firefighting districts.

Bentz also said finding a viable method to capitalize on Eastern Oregon's mineral resources will be on his agenda forthissession.

'There is a heck of a lot of space over here iEastern Oregon) that is empty and dry. Why aren't we using it?" he asked.

Bentz said a boost in mining will help the region. Money paid out by mining firms — such as taxes and royaltiescould be used to ignite funding for inirastructure in rural areas. ''We could take portions of that and put it into our kids, build schools, fund programs," he said.

Bentz said he will also seek more money for other rural inirastructure initiatives. ''We need to fi gureouta way to fi nd funding forcounty roads and bridges," he said.

One Democratic venture — the development and evolution of a low carbon fuel standard into law — is a nonstarter, he said.

"It will drive up the cost of fuel," he said."Democrats are set on jamming this through."

no.

We came away from the first Eastern Oregon Mining Summit with newfound optimism about the future of the industry on which Baker County was founded.

The Jan. 27 event in Baker City invigorated us mainly because several speakers said the reason large-scale gold mining has pretty much disappeared in Oregon is the widespread perception, among mining companies and investors, that the state's laws and permitting process discourage mining.

But that's not the case, speakers said.

Oregon law in fact allows the same kind of chemical mining that has been a mainstay of the economy in Northern Nevada for the past two decades.

Indeed a company is trying to negotiate the state's permitting process for a mine in Malheur County southwest of Vale.

We hope Calico Resources USA succeeds.

Even one successful mine might change the perception and bust open the floodgates that have kept mining investment money, and the family-wage jobs it would create, out of Oregon.

In the meantime, state oKcials need to be much more aggressive in touting Oregon's abundance of mineral deposits.

The state showers tourists with glossy brochures showcasing Oregon's scenic wonders. But a tourism economy won't do much to help Baker County and the rest of rural Oregon recover from the Great Recession.

For that we need family-wage jobs — the jobs that gold mining can provide.

Oregon government leaders should remember that not all of the state's treasures are photogenic. Some ofthem need to be dug up.

Beat ove Fifty-one years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson launched the War on Poverty. Since then, taxpayers have spent more than $22 trillion fighting Johnson's war, three times the cost of all military wars in U.S. history. Last year, taxpayers spent more than $920 billion on 80different anti-poverty programs.

Despite this spending, the percentage of Americans who are poor has barely budgedsince thelate 1960s.AsPresident Ronald Reagan put it We declared war on poverty, and poverty won."

A major reason for the nation's lack of success in fighting poverty for the last half century has been the collapse of m arriage.

Marriage isa powerfulforce in reducing poverty; a single mother with children is four times more likely to be poor than a similar mother who is married. More than two-thirds of all poor families with children in the U.S. are headed by single parents.

But since the beginning of the war on poverty, marriage has declined sharply.

In 1964, 7 percent of U.S. children were bornoutsidemarriage.Today,the number is 41 percent. Society is dividing into two castes. In the top half, children are raised by married couples with college education; in the bottom half, children are increasingly raised by single motherswith a high-schooldegree orless.

When compared to children in intact married homes, children raised by single parents are more likely to have emotionaland behavioralproblems; be physically abused; smoke, drink, and use drugs; be aggressive; engage

GUEST EDITORIAL

Parents don't ave rig t to endanger o ers' Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: An important idea gets lost in the current discussion about measles and vaccinations.

Yes, parents might have some right to say no to childhood vaccines. But no, they do not have the right to endanger others because of their decision.

It'san old idea,and it'scentralto any civilized society. In fact, it's the basic concept behind everything from speed limits to municipal water systems.

We have speed limits not only to keep individual drivers safe but also to help keep others safe, as well. We have community wa-

ter systems, complete with strict cleanliness rules, so that people don't get sick simply by drinking water.

Laws requiring kids to be vaccinated serve the same purpose, to keep them, and us,safefrom diseases that used to incapacitate or even kill far too many.

Today there are two distinct groups of unvaccinated kids in this country. Some are too young or cannot safely receive the inoculations because their immune systems are compromised by cancer or something else. Others are unvaccinated because their parents opt out. When too many parents

choose that course, it threatens the already fragile health of the first group and of others in similar situations.

Good citizenship demands that the latter group, those who opt out of vaccinations for philosophical reasons, keep the rest of us safe from the consequences of that decision. When measles threatens, as it does today, they should keep their children home, voluntarily or otherwise. That's particularly importantat schoolswhere a largepercentage of children are unvaccinated. In the last few years that would have included children attending Bend's Amity Creek, Westside Vil-

'1dren

lageand Waldorf schools,aswellas those at Pine Ridge, High Lakes and Miller.

Officials in Riverside, California, and Washoe County, Nevada, already have sent unvaccinated children home, and it's standard policy in New York City. It makes sense.

Americans are firm believers in the right of each of us to make our own decisionsabout allsortsofthings— as long as doing so doesn't hurt others. In the case of unvaccinated children, we've crossed from freedom todamage, and it'stim e for the state to step in.

A series of newspaper reportssince October have Spokespeople for Courtney revealedthat Kitzhaber's and Kotek declined to say Assoaated Press

w hether the leadersbelieved Kitzhaber could effectively govern after the Oregonian editorial said he could not do so.

Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat, called the allegations"very serious" and"tmubling" and said she's exploring her legal options. A spokesman for Secretary of State Kate Brown, also a Democrat, declined to make her available for an interview.

Kitzhaber did getpraise kom one former rival, former Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, a Democrat who lost to Kitzhaber in the 2010 primary for governor. Bradbury told The Associated Press that the contmversy has been"really quite overblown."

"He's going to be able to m ove forward effectively,and it's just going to take a while to get over these humps," Bradbury said."He's a hell of a good governor, and he's going to continue to perform."

Meanwhile, newly released public recordsrevealed more details about Hayes'work advocating a client's agenda.

Emails released to the Oregonian by the Department ofAdministrative Services showed she instructed state officials to help implement a policy known as the genuine progress indicator, which she was being paid to promote.

The genuine progress indi-

cator is an alternative to the gross domestic product, which uses health and environmental data to help measure economic success. Hayes was paid by Demos, a New Yorkbased nonprofit, to promote the policy.

The emails show Hayes orchestratedan effortaim ed atimplementing the genuine progress indicator into the state budget, according to The Oregonian. When Michael Jordan, the state'schiefoperating officer, said he couldn't attend a meeting on the issue at the governor's mansion, Hayes replied:"Not good. We went forward with this date because you had committed to attending."

The records also show that Kitzhaber himself intervened to urge Jordan to hire a former Maryland official who worked on the genuine progress indicator in that state, the newspaper reported. He was eventually hired on a yearlong contract worth about $65,000.

Demos distanced itselfkom Hayes.

"Although we were assured that the contract was reviewed by Oregon counsel, we now know that we should not have trusted Ms. Hayes to carefully monitor the balance between her public and privateroles,"Demos' spokeswoman, Elextra Gray, said in a statement to the Oregonian.

STATE BRIEFING Independent Party looks for certification SALEM — The IndependentParty ofOregon wants the Secretary of State to quickly certify the party, after it picked up enough members to qualify as a major political party.

State law sets a mid-August deadline for Secretary of State Kate Brown to recognize a new major party.

Party officials say they hope she'll do it soon so they can prepare for 2016 elections. They say any delay would hurt theparty's ability to attractseriouscandidates.

Aldridge,lillardlead Blazerstowin

By Kristie Rieken HOUSTON — The Portland Trail Blazers were not about to let the same thing happen to them two nights in a row.

A night after leading by 11 with two minutes left before falling in overtime at Dallas, they had another double-digit lead evaporatebefore taking charge late and holdingon fora 109-98 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday.

"It was important," LaMarcus Al-

dridgesaid ofbouncing back.'%e felt like last night we didn't play confident down the stretch and we weren't ourselves. So tonight we just wanted to keep doing the things that we do and be confident."

Aldridge scored 24 and Damian Lil-

lard added 23.

James Harden tied a season high with 45 points for the Rockets, who are playing without star center Dwight Howard because of knee swelling and fell behind early.

The Trail Blazers led by 17 in the second half, but a big third quarter helped Houston to a slim lead early in the fourth. Portland scored seven straightpointstobreak a tieand take a 92-85lead midway through the period, with five points from Meyers Leonard in that stretch.

Besides his big game, Lillard learned that he has been added to the All-Star team in place of Clippers forward Blake GriSn, who needs surgery for a staph infection in his right elbow.

Hall of Fame Coach Dean Smith dies at age 83 (APj — Dean Smith, the North Carolina basketball coaching great who won two national championships, has died. He was 83.

The retired Hall of Fame coach died "peacefully" at his home Saturday night, the school said in a statement Sunday from Smith's family. He was with his wife and five children.

Roy Williams, the current North Carolina coach who spent 10 years as Smith's assistant, said Smith "was the greatest there ever was on the court but far, far better off the court with people."

"I'd like to say on behalf of all our players and coaches, past and present, that Dean Smith was the perfect picture of what a college basketball coach should have been," Williams said in a statement. "We love him and we will miss him."

Smith coached the Tar Heels from 196197. He retired as the winningest coach in the sport with 879 victories.

He won NCAA titles in 1982 and 1993, and coached such players as Michael Jordan and James Worthy.

He reached 11 Final Fours, won 13 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament titles and coached the U.S. Olympic team to the gold medal in 1976.

Smith had health issues in recent years, with the family saying in 2010 he had a condition that was causing him to lose memory. He had kept a lower profile during that time, with his wife, Linnea, accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom on his behalf from President Barack Obama in November 2013.

Bulldogswrestletoughat HeiIiInertournament HEPPNER — Baker took about half of its team to compete at the Bank of Eastern Oregon Tournament in Heppner on Saturday.

Baker coach Brandon Young said the wrestlers who made the trip wrestled well. ''We bumped Jace Hays to 120 to get him some much needed competition and he delivered by pinning his first opponentand then defeating Mac-Hi's Riley Chester 5-1 to reach the finals against AJ Rockwell from Riverside," Young said.

"The first round was close but after that Rockwell was on the attack and was able to defeat Hays."

Young said freshmen Sam Harper had another great weekend earning two falls to finish with sixth place.

"Sam did everything right.

Wrestling 170-195 pounds for a freshman is a tough deal, but Sam has kept a good attitude and continued to improve throughout the season," Young said.

Will Goodwin, who placed fourth, also had a strong match against Hendrix of Culver.

Hendrix is the top returning heavyweight in the 2A division. Hendrix built a 1-0 lead going into the final period and was able to get a reversal and then the fall.

"That was the hardest

I have seen Will go after someone," Young said.

Dawson Dollarhide earned a big win over league opponentZerba ofMac-Hi. The two had not met this season and Zerba had a good shot for the number 2 seed at regionals, Young sard.

"But Dawson had something to say about that. The match was pretty close with

the two going back and forth until Dawson was able to earnthefalloverZerba."

Jesse Hamann also placedfourth at 113.

"The team is looking like they are ready to compete next Saturday at Regionals," Young said. ''We have high expectationsfor ourselves and plan on setting a new school recordfor the most kidsever

sent to the state tournament which is eight. Realistically we could send at least10 kids to the state tournament and if we wrestle to our full potential even more."

Regionals, which was to be Friday and Saturday at Mac-Hi, is now only going to bea one day tournament.

It will Saturday in Milton Freewater. Wrestling begins at 10 a.m.

His slam came as the Beavers overwhelmed the Huskies with a 43-point second half performance en route to a 64-50 win on Sunday. ''We were just moving the ball, the ball wasn't sticking.

Everybody was getting easy buckets at the rim," said Payton, who led all scorers

When it was over, Joseph Young had dropped close to a triple-double on Kent's Washington State team with 29 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as the Ducks raced away to a 95-72 victory.

Kent, who coached his alma mater to five NCAA Tournaments and two Elite Eights during 13 seasons toiling in old McArthur Court, had barely settled onto his sideline stool before Oregon had his Cougars down by double-digits.

Have I overstayed

my welcome?

As the New Year moves on through February, Ihavebegun taking inventory of my Dory's Diary column subjects and wonderingifthey have about run their course.

Have I about run out of subjects to write about, I ask myself.

Take the first 110 columns that have appeared in The Observer since 2009 and in the Baker City Herald beginning in 2012.

The question came to mind when I had been retyping those first submissions into something called 'Word,a one of those unfathomable intricacy depths of the computer.

It was when I came to Number 71 thatIrealized itwasthe same subject as the one I had just written about and sent in to appear in the Monday, Dec. 29, Observer and Herald.

The subject was the bell in the tower above the old La Grande Fire Department now turned into a fire engine museum.

While I was in the post office parking lot I had looked up and noticed the bell again as is my usual habit, so I decided to write about it. This I had done and sent it in to be published the Monday before New Year's, just prior to that occasion but after Christmas, both still being within the holiday season.

The root of the dandelion is often used for medicinal purposes. The flowers can be harvested for wine. It is true the greens have bitterness, but are eaten for their nutritional properties.

Dandelions are packed with iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin K and calcium. They have been referred to as the most nutritious leafy vegetable that you can eat.

Dandelions support digestion, reduce swelling and inflammation; treat viruses, jaundice, edema, gout, eczema and acne. Recent studies suggest that they also combat cancer.

For these reasons dandelions have come to our dining room table. I fully admit that they can be, and are, quite frankly, bitter.

I am sharing a few recipes that I think you will enjoy and are my favorites. You can substitute kale, spinach or chard in all of these recipes. If you are going forward slowly I suggest you combine any of these with the dandelions to cut the bitterness.

Reach into cupboards for quick mole sauce

By Joe Gray After we left the big cattle ranch in Colorado where my father had been the foreman, and moved to a tiny town in Wyoming 24 miles away, money was a little more scarce.

My mother, Alda Lowe Jons, had always been a person who could make the best of any situation she was in, so rather thanwhine about the one she found herself in she simply set out to make the best home possible for her family.

She did this by beautifying our house inside and outside. Her passion was flowers and she literally turned the yard into a placepeople would driveby justto see.

She didn't have money to run to a greenhouse iif there had been any) to get the plants she wanted. She simply gatheredseeds and starts from willing friends and in return shared with them what she had.

Roses were something she longed to have,even though the harsh Wyoming winters could be hard on them. Finally she gota startofa hardy yellow rose from someone and grew it into a huge flowering bush that gave the yard a summer splash of yellow.

Most of us have kitchen cupboardsstocked with obscurejars or cans of this and that, items thatspeed preparation ofour particular favorite dishes. For me, one constant isajarofm olepaste.

Though I've enjoyed many delicious, complex from-scratch versions of this Mexican sauce in restaurants, I've been content to let accomplished chefs grind the peppers and mix the spices. I'm not saying I will never attempt an authentic, homemade version.

Just that when I want a quick version at home, I reach for that jar.

It takes just chicken broth and peanut butter to turn that thick paste into a sauce iand the extra keeps forever in the f'ridgel.

I like to stir in more broth than the package directions suggest, fora sauce thatgildspiecesof roast shredded chicken instead of merely resting atop.

In a nonauthentic twist, instead of serving the chicken mole with tortillas, I spoon it over

For the peanut butter, choose a natural brand that is all peanuts, with maybe a little salt, but no added sugar. Use creamy for a smoother sauce.

and salt. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Cover saucepan and keep warm.

2. Heat the broth to a simmer in a separate saucepan; add the mole paste, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring it into the broth until it is dissolved to form a sauce. Stir in the peanut butter until it dissolves. The sauce

should thicken but still be pretty liquid. Taste for flavor; the sauce should not taste bitter. Add more peanut butter if you like.

3. Stir in the chicken to coat the pieces; simmer on low so the sauce permeates the meat, 10 minutes. Serve the chicken and sauce over the polenta, garnished with chopped cilantro.

In my freezer I always have somesortoffrozen juice in cube or muKn-size portions.

It'sthere because I try not to waste anything. So when I notice that the juice in my fridge is nearing its expiration date or happen upon a great markdown at the store,it'sheaded for the freezer.

The best way to freeze juice in ice cube trays or muffin tins. Most ice cube trays hold about 2 tablespoons in individual cubes and standard muSn tin cups hold about '/2 cup. These sizes are perfect for pulling out only what you need.

Pour the juice into the ice cube tray or mu5n tin and freeze. Once frozen, pop them out and place in a plastic freezerbag and return to the freezer.

Having these juice portions on hand means you can whip up a sauce or marinade in no time and finish dinner in a flash.

Orange juice was the inspiration for this pork dish and was used in the marinade and sauce. In the sauce, the juice pairs well with the mustard. In the marinade, it makes up the acidic ingredient neededtohelp tenderize the meat.

The leftover pork tenderloin slices are ideal for a sandwich. Here's an idea: Mix a bit of Dijon mustard ior your favorite mustard) with mayonnaise, and spread on a roll or Ciabatta bread.

Deviled eggs for Oscars night? Sure they're a staple at picnics and backyard barbecues, but when it comes to a special occasion, they are so Cinderella before the ball.

But let's say you want to play fairy godmother and dress them up for an Oscar night viewing party. You can do it in two simple strokes. First, take care to boil the eggs properly iwhich can be a revelation for anyone who's nevertasted a properly boiled egg).Second,sparkleup the usual filling with some creme fraiche, Parmesan and

To protect children and others fiom serious burns, newly manufactured glass-fiont gas fireplaces and stoves now must include installed protective barriers if their glasssurfacetemperatures exceed 172 degrees, the Hearth Patio & Barbecue Association says.

This new safety standard, which took effect Jan. 1, requires that the barriers be in place when the products are installed.

The requirement was approved by the American National Standards Institute

in 2012 and is focused on reducing the potential hazard posedby directcontactwith hotglasssurfacestoat-risk people, especially children.

Products manufactured before Jan. 1stillm ay besold even if they do not meet the new standard, asretailers clear out the older inventory, the association said.

Shazam! You're looking at a truly dazzling appetizer.

And it couldn't be easier to prepare. And despite the name, they don't need to be deviled imeaning spicy). For my Oscars treat, I went with indulgent over spicy.

But let's start with the boiling. It's only because most of us havenever tasted a properly boiled egg thatwe believe the whites should be chewy. The problem is that protein always becomes tough when it is boiled. My solution is to boil an egg by not boiling it. Really.

The trick is to start the eggs in cold water, then pull them off the heat just as soon as the water reaches the boiling point, cover the pot and let them cook in the residual heat of the water. You'll be amazed at the wonderful tenderness of the finished product.

And by the way, I "cook" the eggs for just 10 minutes, which leaves the centers of the yolks translucent. If you'd prefera more solid center,lettheeggsstay in thehot water for 12 minutes.

How do you avoid one of those famously ugly green lines between the yolk and the white? By chilling the egg in a bowl of ice water as soon as it is finished cooking.

Once it is cooled completely, peel and cut the egg in half, then marvel at a flawless yellow yolk, tender white and no green line.

And by the way, this is one of those recipes for which an olderegg isbetter.Eggsthataretoofresh arejustabout impossible to peel.

Now just dress up the eggs with those designer ingredientsand it'sready forthered carpet.

STUFFED EGGS WITH TRUFFLEOIL Want to make these even fancier? Use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip instead of a plastic bag to pipe the yolk filling into the egg whites.

Start to finish: 35 minutes, plus chilling Servings: 12 6 large eggs 2tablespoonsmayonnaise 2 tablespoons creme fraiche 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese 2 teaspoons truffle oil Salt and ground black pepper Fresh chives, finely chopped Fill a medium bowl with ice and water.

As soon as the water boils, remove the pan from the heat, cover the pan and set aside for exactly 10 minutes (use a timer). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice water and let them cool completely.

When the eggs are cool, crack them all over and, starting at the wide end of each egg and making sure to get under the membrane (which makes it easier to get the shell off), peel the eggs while holding them under cold running water.

Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and set aside the whites.

Place the egg yolks in a mesh strainer and use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to press the yolks through and into a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, mustard, cheese and truffle oil. Mix well, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into a zip-close plastic bag.

Cut off one of the lower corners of the bag, then gently squeeze the bag to pipe the yolk mixture evenly into the hollow of each egg white until nicely mounded. Arrange the filled eggs on a platter, then garnish each with chives.

Californiafoie Irasdanincourt LOS ANGELES iAP) — California filed an appeal Wednesday of a federal judge's ruling that blocked the state's ban on the sale offoiegras— a delicacy thatgourmets consider heaven and animal rights groups call hell.

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris gave notice that she will appeal last month's ruling, which barred California from enforcing its ban on selling fatty goose or duck liverproduced out ofstate.The ban took effectin 2012.

A Hermosa Beach restaurant called Hot's Kitchen, and foie gras producers in New York and Canada challenged the ban.
