• Declining revenue and increasing costs put city in a rough spot

A buttercup in bloom Saturday near the Lower Powder River, about 15 miles northeast of Baker City.

Sports, SA Baker set a team record for wrestlers qualifying for the Class 4A state tournament Saturday.

The Bulldogs will send 10 grapplers to state, breaking the old record of eight. The state meet will be Feb. 27-28 in Portland.

The BHS swim team also had 10 athletes qualify for the Class 4A/3A/2A/1A state meet this Friday and Saturday at Gresham.

Red is the customary color of Valentine's Day but this year, in Baker County, it was yellow that distinguished the holiday.

Specifically, the yellow blossom of a buttercup.

These harbingers of spring have sprouted in some of the county's lower-elevation rangelands, a conspicuously early appearance.

But hardly a surprising one, considering the abnormally mild weather that dominated the first half of February.

Saturday's high temperature of 59 degrees at the Baker City Airport set a record for Feb. 14. The previous record was 58, set in 1996.

It was the fourth daily record high this month.

The average high temperature for February,based on records atthe airportdating from 1943, is 40.6 degrees.

The average for the first 15 days of this February was 51.1.

llhoyesto enrollfirstfour-year classal ascadescamyusthisfall • OSU oficials hope to get in touch with 10,000 prospective students before fall term ByAbby Spegman VVesCom News Service

BEND — In Beaver Nation, you have choices.

That's the pitch Oregon State University-Cascades is making to prospective students as it sets out to enroll its first four-year class.

OSU-Cascades plans to expand into a four-year campus in the fall, though plans for new buildings in west Bend have been held up because of legal challenges.

Jane Reynolds, the campus' director of enrollment services and student success, said the goal is to make contact with 10,000"leads" — prospective students who might be a good match based on geography, high school GPA or what they want to study — in order to enroll 100 freshmen in the fall.

In the coming years, OSUCascades would look to grow the freshmen class by 50 to 75 students each year.

Before, OSU-Cascades attracted most ofits students from Central Oregon, But this year the campus is looking to draw from across Oregon and beyond. But offtcials

won't getarealsenseofthe freshmen class size until the summer when students report for orientation, or even later. '%hen do we really know?

About the second week of the term. Offtcially? The fourth week," said Reynolds, noting some students never show up to campus,orleaveafter afew weeks.

To meetthe goalof100 freshmen, offtcials at OSUCascades are working with their counterparts in Corvallis, presenting the Bend campus as an alternative university experience, a more intimate setting that still carries the OSU brand.

Reynoldssaid partof promoting OSU-Cascades is acknowledging what it doesn't offer— an established campus with housing and dining options aplenty, say, or a state-o f-the-artfi tnesscenter.

Instead, there'stheoutdoors, small classes, the chance to work one-on-one with faculty.

Another recruiting strategy OSU-Cascades is trying out this year is online. It created profiles on sites such as Cregg and Cappex, where high

school students can compare schools and request more information about them. OSUCascades then sends promotional emails to the kids and glossy mailers to their parents with photos of students in science labs and snowshoeing at the foot of a mountain.

Also, for the first time this year, the campus is working with an online marketing firm on its search results and key words so thatifaprospective studentGooglescollege+ tourism+ outdoors, OSUCascades will show up.

The idea is to catch studentslookingforprograms that OSU-Cascades offers but that aren't widely available elsewhere — energy systems engineering, exercise and sports science, or the new hospitality program.

Reynolds notes the school has recruited freshmen before, though that was for its "two plus two" program with Central Oregon Community College, where students start at COCC and later transfer to OSU-Cascades. That program will continue, which means OSU-Cascades will essentially

LOCAL BRIEFING Port slowdown affects potato farmers

By Martha Bellisle The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Making her first official public appearance since Gov. John Kitzhaber announced his resignation amid an ethics scandal, Oregon governorto-be Kate Brown was swarmed by media and well-wishers Saturday as she entered the Oregon Historical Society at an event marking the state's 156th birthday.

Brown avoided any mention ofher new job or the criminal investigation into the man she is set to replace this week.

Instead,shevowed protectthestate's beautiful landscape and people.

"Our task, our challenge is to make sure we keep Oregon the very special place that it is and I look forward to working with you to make sure that

happens," shesaid."So happy birthday, Oregon."

The speakers attending the celebration kept their focus on the birthday party and not the stunning events that unfolded on Friday, first with Kitzhaber's emotional declaration that he will step down on Wednesday followed by news of afederalsubpoena served on the state Department ofAdministrative Services.

The U.S.Attorney's 0$ce in Portland demanded a laundry list of records, emails, travel logs and other documents related to Kitzhaber and his fiancee Cylvia Hayes.

It said the material must be brought to a federal grand jury hearing on March 10.

WARMTH Continued from Page1A This puts the month on pace to settherecord for warmest February. The current record for monthly average high is 51.0 degrees, set in 1992.

The explanationfor February's abnormal warmth is pretty simple, meteorologically speaking.

For most of this month the entire western U.S. has been dominated by what's known as a high pressure ridge.

Generally speaking, high pressure brings mostly dry weather.

Typically, though, when

STREETS Continued from Page1A However, Kee said the revenue that flows down to Baker City from the gas tax isn't near enough. ''We rely on gas tax receipts to fix our streets and we don't actually get enough to build a street and hardly enough to chip seal," he said.

"Gas tax receipts are on the decline."

The city supplements gas tax revenue with property taxes to maintain its streets.

In a sense, Kee Baker City's revenueshortfallsregarding streets isjusta microcosm of a larger problem that hampers the entire country.

According to the United States Department of Transportation, 65 percent of U.S. roads are in need of repair and 25percentofallbridges require upgrades.

A December 2014 report by the Association of Oregon Counties determined that over the next five years county road departments across the state will encounter a 54 percent funding shortfall .The reportalso statedthat an additional

happens."

— Kate Brown, Oregon Secretary of State who will become govemor when John Kitzhaber officially resigns on Wednesday moming

Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, whose agency is investigating the governoralongsidefederalprosecutors, told The Associated Press that she came to Saturday' sevent to help celebrate Oregon's birthday but said,"this is obviously a bittersweet day.

'The juxtaposition does not go unnoticed."

W hen Kerry Tymchuk, executive director of the Oregon Historical Society, introduced Brown, he said,"Kate, our thoughts are with you. Our prayers are with you."

Afterward, he said the state was in the midst of an event it had not seen in its 156-year history. Four governors have resignedbefore— threeto takeother jobsand one because ofillness— but no governor has ever left office"under a cloud or under duress."

Under Oregon's constitution, Secretary of State Brown will be sworn in as gov-

ernorafterKitzhaber'sresignation goes into effect. She will appoint her replacement but has not named anyone yet.

Kitzhaber did not attend the birthday celebration and has notappeared in public since he faced growing pressure to leave office. Former Govs. Barbara Roberts and Ted Kulongoski attended Saturday's event.

Roberts was asked if she had anything to say to Kitzhaber, and responded with a sharp:"no." She said she feared the controversywas distracting state government and hurting the office of the governor, but said Kitzhaber has given a greatdealto Oregon.

"He has a very long historyin the state and a number of things that he and the statecan beveryproud of,"shesaid. ''With a little passage of time all of those good things will be recalled. I don't have any question about the record that he left for all ofhis service to Oregon."

Paul Bovarnick, a Portland lawyer who attended the birthday celebration, agreed with that assessment of Kitzhaber's time in office.

"Most people think this is a great tragedy," he said."Nobody could question his dedication to the state. I feel sick about what happened, but I feel he did the right thingin resigning."

Roberts said while the state is facing a diKcult period, the state constitution ensures a seamless process.

"I believe it will go smoothly and Oregonians can take a deep breath and feel goodaboutthe state,"she said.

the West Coast is under high pressure, the oppositeisthe case in the eastern half of the U.S. That's because the jet stream, the high-altitude "river"ofhurricane force winds that propel storms &om westtoeastacross the country, often develops ripples, or waves.

When aridge ofhigh pressure dominates the West, usually a trough of low pressure forms over the East Coast, meaning the jet stream plunges far to the south.

This allows frigid air from Canada to pour into the Midwest and the East Coast.

The series ofblizzards that

has bombarded that region — and in particular New England — is the result.

This pattern isn't rare in February — it ranks as the third-driest month, on average, at the Baker City Airport.

Rainfall so far in February isactuall y above average.60 of an inch, compared with a monthlyaverage of.62.

The unusual warmth this month is due in part to the absence of snow on the ground.

Snow reflects most of the sunlight, keeping temperatures near the ground low.

And because cold air is more dense than warm air,

it tends to settle in valleys and stay there, even when a high pressure ridge brings warmer air into the region at higher elevations.

The not-in&equent result istemperatures 30 degrees colder in Baker City, elevation3,400 feet,than at Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort, elevation 7,100.

But there has been no inversion in Baker Valley in February, hence the recordsetting warmth.

"These are community decisions," he said.

For now, Kee said, the city's goalisto stretch available dollars as far as possible to maintain city streets.

"Our job is to do as much preventive maintenance with themoney we have.

I think the overlays we've been doing are economical," he said.

Still if Baker City suddenly enjoyed a significant growth spurt, the city would be hard-pressed to pay for

the necessary infrastructure he said.

"If we had to build a block of streets on our own dollars I don't know how we'd do it," he said.

Oregon District 60 Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario, agrees the roads across the sectionofthe state herepresents are in sad shape.

pivotal role in the dilapidatedstateofthe nation's in&astructure but rising costs play a key part as well.

The Association of Oregon Counties study illustrates thatthepriceofasphaltcement increased dramatically within 10 years.

Kee said there are a few routes to generate revenue but none of them are foolproof nor would they prove to be popular.

"Some combination of user fees is an option, but I don't think Baker City is to that point. The easiest avenue is a tax and different cities do that in different ways," he said."Any new fee or tax nowadays, though, is difficult."

In the past, Kee said, Baker City did ponder the feasibility of a local gas tax but never enacted the proposal.

"La Grande has a user fee, much like we do for our deliverableservices,water and sewer," he said.

Kee said any ideawhether it is a tax or some type of user fee — will ultimately be confirmed by city voters.

After learning in late January that Heinz, which last year bought most of the potatoes grown in Baker Valley, would not renew its contracts for 2015, the eight local growers have been searching for a diferent buyer.

One option is Lamb Weston, which owns several potatoprocessing plants in the Columbia Basin. Trouble is, the port slowdown has left the company with a surplus of processedpotatoesthataredestined forexport,said Mark Ward, a Baker Valley potato grower.

With the Lamb Weston option"off the table,"Ward said, local growers are looking at other possibilities. They need to have a contract in place by March 15 if they want to grow potatoes thisyear on about 3,000 acres,W ard said.

LANGRELL Continued ~om Page1A If Pahl rejects Langrell's motion for summary judgment, the lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial before a jury April 2-3.

Langrell, who was elected mayor in January 2013, filed the lawsuit last spring, claiming the city owes him more than $9,000 in water and sewer fees he paid for his motel, the Always Welcome Inn, over several years after the property was annexed into the city.

City officials contend that Langrell agreed to pay higher water and sewer rates in exchange for a 10-year moratorium on paying city property taxes for the motel.

The City Council ousted Langrell as mayor — mainly a ceremonial position, with no extra authority — in July. He remains a councilor, and his term continues through the end of 2016.

Bentz said he is now inside a lengthy process to seek input from the county commissioners inside his district regarding the road issue.

"I'm waiting to hear from all 15 county commissioners and I'm calling, and will call, as many ofthemayors and city councilors as I can and ask each one of them: What do you want me to do?" he sald.

Bentzsaidhe believes it is time to putthe roads, infrastructure issue, into the political limelight in an effort to find a viable solution.

"Many people may say, 'They ithe roads) are just fine.' Well, they are not," he satd.

Kee said addressing the future needs of the cityincluding infrastructurejust makes good sense.

"Good planning is looking into the future and seeing where we are going," he said.

EDITORIAL

BSV1C m.

John Kitzhaber, Oregon's first four-term governor — albeit barely — will go, but not quietly.

Or with a great deal of dignity.

Kitzhaber announced last Friday that he will resign at 10 a.m. this Wednesday.

Secretary of State Kate Brown will replace him as governor.

Kitzhaber's resignation letter is brief, covering just the essentials.

But the written statement he read early Friday afternoon is not.

The 1,258-word missive is a curious document — Kitzhaber comes across as proud, petulant, aggrieved by members ofhis own political party.

We don't begrudge the soon-to-be-former governor for touting what he considers his accomplishments during a public service career that covers more than 35 years and includes stints as a state lawmaker as well as three terms and one month as Oregon's top

elected official.

But before Kitzhaber started reminiscing, he expanded on the theme he introduced earlier last week — Kitzhaber as victim.

Specifically, the governor continued to blame the media for his downfall.

This pathetic attempt to deflect attention insults the governor's constituents.

Journalists deserve credit for exposing the ways the governor and his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, flouted ethical standards, not blame for unfairly targeting the couple.

Kitzhaber said it's "deeply troubling to me to realize that we have come to a place in the history of this great state of ours where a person can be charged, tried, convicted and sentenced by the media with no due process and no independent verification of the allegations involved."

The reality, of course, is that the media neither charge, try, convict nor sentence anyone.

Those are the duties of the legal justice system.

The media report information to the public.

If, as Kitzhaber strongly implies, the news stories published about him aren't truthful, then he should stay in oKce, confident that the "independent verification" he mentioned will in the end exonerate him and reveal reporters for the scoundrels he seems to believe they are.

(As an aside, we'd like to hear why Kitzhaber thinks the news media aren't"independent.")

His explanation, as is predicable with politicians who put themselves in this sort of predicament, is that even though he believes he's innocent, he recognizes that the scandal has diminished his ability to govern.

"I have always had the deepest respect for the remarkable institution that is the Oregon Legislature; and for the oKce of the Governor," Kitzhaber said.

"And I cannot in good conscience continue to be the element that undermines it. I have always tried to do the right thing and now the right thing to do is to step aside."

At least he got the very last part of the final sentence right.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Time's s ort to getyour kids' s ots Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Wednesday is exclusion day in Oregon. Kids in school — public or private — in Head Start, in preschool or at a certified day care center must present proof that they're current on immunizations or thegl be sent home.

Last year, local health departments, including those in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties, sent more than 32,000letters tothe familiesofyoungsters in the state; of that number, 5,227 were kept out of school on exclusion day until authorities had proof of immunization or proper waivers.

Yet, as the current measles outbreak — 121 cases and counting in 17 states — makes clear, proper immunization is important.Itprotectsthosereceiving the vaccinations from everything from

mumps to polio, and it's made smallpox adisease ofthe past.Illnesses that killed, maimed and disfigured thousands of people each year are now so rare that younger Americans cannot really fathom how serious they once were.

They may not recognize it, but they don't want to find out.

Deschutes County health officials are making last-minute immunization relatively simple. School-based clinics at Ensworth Elementary in Bend and M.A. LynchElementary in Redmond will offer one or more immunization clinics between now and Wednesday.

Those interested should call one of the two and make an appointment.

Immunizations are available to all children in each school district as well as younger siblings.

An outbreak of 11 cases in San Diego in 2008 costtaxpayers more than $10,000 per case, according to Forbes Magazine. Adding to the cost are wages lost by parents who stay home with sick children. Too, some victims might be hospitalized, driving costs up still further.

Gov. 3ohn Kitzhaber To Resign: What's Next

STATE BRIEFING

e s eman iu a e srecor s

By Martha Bellisle

"Typically you don't

see this extensive fo a subpoena unlessit's a toppriority investigation."

PORTLAND — Legal experts say a subpoena used in a federal grand jury investigation into Oregon's fallen governor and his fiancee indicatesthatauthorities are investigating possible violations of public corruption laws and financial crimes including wire or mail &aud, bribery and tax evasion.

The subpoena was sent to the state's administrative agency on the same day Gov. John Kitzhaber announced his resignation.

'Typically you don't see this extensive of a subpoena unless it's a top-priority investigation," said Laurie Levenson, a former assistant U.S. attorney who teaches at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles."I t'sa pretty extensive investigation. Given that this involves a governor, I would expect this is being supervisedatthehighestlevel"and includes the U.S. Department of Justice's 0$ce of Public Integrity, the Internal Revenue Service and the FBI. It may be that the grand jury reviews the material and finds no reason to bring charges, Levenson said. She noted that the authorities used asubpoena to collect records, not a search warrant that would have required a showing of probable cause.

But Levenson added:"It's too early to say whether there will be charges, but none of this is good news for the governor."

Tung Yin, a professor at Lewis and Clark Law School in Oregon, said a state official, employee or representative is in violation of the federal theft or bribery law if he orshe "embezzles,steals, obtains by fraud" government property or corruptly offers anything"with intent to influence or reward" someone in connection with business or government transactions. Mail or wire &aud would kick in if prosecutors could show the crime was played out through email or the postalservice.

'The theory is that a public official owes the rights of honestserviceto the public," Yin said. The official breaches that duty ifhe or she gets a kickback or a bribe. If the governor was to be considered aconspirator,itwould require an agreement to commit &aud, he said.

'The essence is, the governor would have to know what was going on," Yin said.

Kitzhaber, newly elected to an unprecedented fourth term as Oregon's governor, announced on Friday that his last day in office will be Wednesday, at which point Secretary of State Kate Brown will take over and assign her replacement.

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, seen here in a 2009 photo, announced Friday that he will resign this Wednesday.

COngreSSSeekS COver OregOn reCOrdS PORTLAND — A congressional panel investigating CoverOregon has asked departing Gov. John Kitzhaber to preserve all documents related to the shutdown of the dysfunctional health insurance exchange.

A letter submitted Friday by four members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform asks for a slew of documents in hopes of understanding whether campaign advisers played a role in the decision to switch to the federal health insurance exchange.

The letter warns the governor's office not to alter or destroy any records — a reference to a Kitzhaber staffer's recent request to have the governor's personal emails deleted from the state archives. That request was denied.

"If it is the routine practice of any state employee or contractor to destroy or otherwise alter such records, halt that practice," the letter states.

Kitzhaber announced his resignation Friday amid a conflict-of-interest scandal involving his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, and whether she used her access to power to advance her consulting business.

The Cover Oregon debacle has been a yearslong headache for Kitzhaber, a former emergency room doctor who prided himself on matters involving health care. The exchange website never fully launched, forcing the state to hire hundreds of workers to manually process applications.

The committee has been investigating Cover Oregon since last March, when it requested thousands of documents to see whether the private information of Oregon residents was placed in a vulnerable position.

— Steven Dubois, The Associated Press

energy consulting firm. It started with a probe by the Oregon Government Ethics Commission, followed by one by the state attorney general and peaked with a federal government subpoena served the same day Kitzhaber announced he was resigning.

The U.S. Congress' Committee on Oversight and Government Reform joined in on Friday with a letter to Kitzhaber demanding that he preserve all documents and communications related to the broken Cover Oregon program.

Kitzhaber and Hayes, as well as their lawyers, have not responded to numerous requests for comment.

Kitzhaber's only response to the scandal was a lengthy resignation letter in which he emphatically stated that he did not break any laws or do anything "dishonest or dishonorable."

The federal investigation is being handled by Oregon Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford, who began his career with the

Justice Department's tax division where he prosecuted tax, white-collar and money-laundering crimes. In recent years, he has secured convictions in cases ranging from embezzlement, to tax, investment and wire &aud.

Both his office and the FBI declined comment on the investigation, saying it's important to conduct them "out of the public eye to ensure a fair process."

Rick Drooyan, a former assistant U.S. attorney who specialized in white-collar crime and now is a criminal defense lawyer, said the three-page subpoena reveals the focus of the investigation.

"They're looking into whether she used her relationship to cause him to take actions that would benefit her private consulting clients," Drooyan said. The subpoena demands records relating tocontractsproposed and bids awarded to Hayes and her company, 3E Strategies, as well asrecordsrelated to a list of 15 projects, initiatives and action plans that focus

on climate and clean energy.

Itdemands travelrecords, documents showing Hayes' use of state creditcardsand the tax returns for Hayes and her company.

'The state has a lot of green-energy initiatives, and she's in a position to influence how the government views them — and that could benefit the private clients who are paying her," Drooyan sald.

The question is, Levenson said, "did he use his influence to helpgether these deals?

They're inextricably linked.

That's what the subpoena suggests."

In any event, it will likely be months before it is known whether Katzhaber or Hayes will face charges.

Drooyan said the case reminds him of the scandal surrounding former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen. He was convictedlastyearon 11 public corruption counts that involved exchanging access to the power of his office for tensofthousands ofdollars in loans and gifts. He was sentenced in January to two years in prison. Maureen McDonnell was convicted on nine counts and is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 20.

Coast Guard rescues surfers from cliff NEWPORT iAPl — The U.S. Coast Guard rescued two surfers from a clifF south of Yaquina Head in Newport.

Petty 0$cer 3rd Class Amanda Norcross says a helicopter crew was dispatched Saturday after getting a report that the surfers needed help. The crew hoisted the surfers from the clifF and took them to a nearby beach.

The surfers were not hurt.

Scorpion stings airline passenger LOS ANGELES iAPl — A scorpion stung a woman on the hand just before her flight from Los Angeles to Portland took oIF. Flight 567 was taxiing on the runway Saturday night when the passenger was stung, Alaska Airlines spokesman Cole Cosgrove said. The plane returned to the gate, and the woman was checked by medics. She refused additional medical treatment, but she didn't get back on the plane.

Meanwhile, flight attendants killed the scorpion and checked overhead compartments for any additional unwanted arachnids. The flight then took oIF at 8:40 p.m., about an hour late. Members of Oregon State University's men's basketball team were on the flight, Cosgrove sald.

It's unclear how the scorpion got on the plane, but the flight originated in Los Cabos, Mexico, he said.

Oregon State Coach Wayne Tinkle told ESPN that the woman was sitting two rows in front of him.

"The plane was coming &om Mexico before us, and ithe scorpion) was on the plane," Tinkle said."The woman was a real champ. She acted like it was a mosquito bite. They got it oIFher, but the needle was stuck."

Portland ponders golf course smoking ban PORTLAND iAPl — The city of Portland is considering a tobacco ban in public parks that would extend to its five golf courses.

The Oregonian reports ihttp J%s.gd/3YmovV l such a ban would be the first in Oregon. Other Oregon cities that have banned smoking in their parks have exempted public golf courses.

"If they pass this, it's going to be everybody," said John Zoller, Portland'smanager ofgolf."It'sgoing to be across the board.It'sgoing to be allparksand parks properties."

The Portland-owned golf courses include two at Heron Lakes, as well as Rose City, Eastmoreland and RedTail.

To help with potential lost revenue, Portland's proposed ordinance allows groups that rent city courses for tournaments to apply for a permit that would allow smoking.

The vote is scheduled for Wednesday, but it could be delayed a week.

By Beth Harris LOS ANGELES — Norman Powell bounced back from a four-point game with a double-digit effort and monster jam that moved UCLA into a second-placetie in the Pac-12.

Powell scored 23 points, Kevon Looney added 18 and UCLA defeated Oregon 72-63 Saturday to tie the Ducks in the league standings with five games remaining.

The Bruins i16-10, 8-5l won their second straight and fifth in their last six games while improving to 13-1 at Pauley Pavilion this season. ''We're really just playing well and it's really helping us," said Tony Parker, who had nine points."Norman has been making big plays. He caught my lob, one of my Chris Paul

the top five ofhis four-year career.

"I've never seen the pick and roll split like that," Bruins coach Steve Alford said. 'That was impressive."

Powellcredited hisread ofOregon's defense in helping him get to the rim.

"They hedge hard on screens and I saw a little space where he hedged hard too fast when I was coming off the screen," said Powell, who had hisworst Pac-12 scoring effortofthe season in a win over Oregon State on Wednesday."The rest of it was instinctive."

Jalil Abdul-Bassit hit a careerhigh seven 3-pointers in scoring a career-best 24 points for the Ducks i18-8, 8-5l, who had their four-game winning streak snapped. Joseph Young added 18 points and Elgin

"The second half was tough for us.

They knew who our shooters were and wealsostopped our ballm ovement."

The Ducks tied the game at 46-all early in the second half. From there, UCLA went on an 18-10 run to extend its lead to 64-56. Powell scored 11 points in the spurt.

Oregon never got closer than two points the rest of the way, when Abdul-Bassit made his sixth 3-pointer midway through the half. The Ducks had just three oftheir 113-pointers in the second half, when they were held to 35 percent shooting from the floor.

'They had a lot of tips, putbacks and offensive boards that didn't allow us to get into transition," Oregon coach Dana Altman said."Our ball movement stopped in the second half. We took some early shots that kept us out of rhythm. There was no

flow that half."

The teams traded runs in the first half, when neither led by more than eight points and both offenses were in high gear.

CORVALLIS — Oregon State's Sydney Wiese says 3-pointers aren't just about the shot. There's plenty more to it: the play call, the movement of teammates and the screenbefore the attempt.

They were all working Friday night for the sophomore point guard, who scored 15 points and set Oregon State's career record for 3-pointers, and the No. 8 Beavers held on to beat No. 12 Arizona State 70-64.

"People set me up well," Wiese said."It's definitely a team record."

Ruth Hamblin added 17 points, nine rebounds and six blocks, and Ali Gibson scored 14 for the Beavers i22-2, 12-1

Pac-12l.

Sophie Brunner had 24 points, and Katie Hempen added 13 for the Sun Devils

i21-4, 10-3l.

W iese setthe 3-pointer record with a shot from beyond the arc with 14:04 left in the first half. She had two in the game, putting her

at 180 3-pointers in her two seasons.

Arizona State trailed by three late in the game with the Beavers on offense, but Hempen made a steal, then crumpled to the court, apparently with a tweaked ankle.

Gabriella Hanson grabbed the loose ball and made an uncontested lay-in for the Beaverswith 1:11leftto make it 66-61.

The game hadplenty at stake as, entering the week, Arizona State and California trailed Oregon State by a

riz snmI I game in the Pac-12 standings.

"Down the stretch in Pac12 play is a grind, and any win we can getis a good one," Wiese said."I think there's still room for improvement for our team."

Oregon State coach Scott Rueck thought the game felt like a prize fight at times, and not just for the physical

play.

"Couldn't shake them, couldn't get away from them, but made the plays down the stretch," he said.

The Beavers were ahead by as many as eight points early, butled 29-27 atthe half as the Sun Devils made theirlastfourshotsbefore the break.

Oregon State led by nine with 4:27 left, but Arizona State clawed back.

Jamie Weisner came in leading the Beavers with 13.9points pergame, but had only eight against Arizona State. Sun Devils Coach Charli Turner Thorne creditedthe defense ofPromise Amukamara on Weisner.

that with his team's heart, effort and hustle, he wasn't worried about a letdown against Arizona.

"They bring it every single day to practice.. It's a lifestyle. It doesn't matter who, where, when. Any game, all the time," the Beavers coach added.

Sydney Wiese scored 20 points, hitting six 3-pointers, to help No. 8 Oregon State follow up a big win over Arizona State on Friday with a 73-48 rout of Arizona on Sunday.

W iese setOregon State'scareerrecord for 3-pointers against Arizona State on Friday. The sophomore now has 186 in her two years.

Getting my newspaper daily Fix One day last month was a great day.

Ihad my newspaper fi x.

The day began very well, for I had finally caught up on my rest. Not getting enough sleep, you know, sets you up to be cranky or depressed.

Finally I was neither.

Email brought me word from Roslyn, Washington, before I set off for town.

I'll tell you about that in a later diary entry another day.

I found a parking place in town that caused me no time concern, and I headed for the Presbyterian Church office in search ofhistorical information about a bell that may have been rung many years ago by the La Grande Fire Department.

Here I talked with Donna Betts and Ellen Barton where they showed willingness to begin the hunt for the desiredinformation.

I then got to the post office with a couplelettersto m ailbeforethepick-up mail truck arrived. Panting, but still on two legs, I arrived at the SubShop on Depot Street where I had lunch with cousins Tom and Brenda Swart and a visit with cousin Betty on the Hofmann side. The...what should I call them? Is it all right just to say"girls" or "gals?"

Must I address them as ladies or women or employees...What does it matter?

When it comes to Valentine's Day I do not get caught up in the demands offlowers or anexpensive meal, but I sure find it a great time to celebrate chocolate and things that aresweet.Eating crepes certainly fallsinto thatcategory.

Being raised in California, crepes were not one of the staples that I grew up with; I consider them a tasty treat.

We were lucky recently to have guests visit us who are both French; she is a pastry chef and he a gourmet chef.Each morning when Iwoke,our dear friend Sabrina was in front of the stove making a stack of crepes. I eagerlystood by,m y pen and camera in hand, and watched her whip up crepes. She made the entire process seem effo rtless.In France,crepes areserved at alltim esofthe day, with many diferent toppings.

I knew in that moment that this would be my Valentine's Day share.

Over the next two days we hiked and spent lots of time in the kitchen cooking and eating fabulous food. Upon my request, Sabrina also whipped up some chocolate mousse, my other favoritechocolate desert.

Chocolate mousse is a decadent desert and extremely easy to make.

It is delicious when served alone or with fresh berries. This is also a fabulous dessert when served in a crepe.

After seeing Sabrina make the mousse I tried making it and learned that it can be a bit tricky, so I am sharing two recipes. The Instant Chocolate Mousse recipe is a no fail recipe, but requires a bit more effort.

The easy method is just that.... easy, but it is also a bit touchy. So please follow the directions. I really enjoyed serving the crepes with the mousse, but they are equally as delicious when served alone.

Instant Chocolate Mousse 1-7 Ounce jar Jet-Puffed marshmallow creme /2 Stick unsalted butter (4 tablespoons) 9 Ounces, best quality, semisweet chocolate chopped into small pieces. (I used Nestles semisweet chips) "/4 Cup hot water from the kettle 1 Cup heavy whipping cream 1Teaspoon vanilla

Crepes with chocolate mousse

Chocolate Mousse- The eas 14za 4 Ounces organic chocolate (at least 60-percent cacao) broken up into small pieces 1 Pint heavy whipping cream 1Teaspoon sugar This is a simple version, but be sure to cool the chocolate to room temperature and pouring it slowly into the cream is key.

Place 1/4 cup of the cream and the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl. Cook for a minute and then stir. Cook for an additional minute then stir again. The chocolate should be melted, but if not, cook for another minute. Allow to cool to room temperature. Put the whipped cream and sugar into a mixer and beat slowly for the first few seconds (to keep the cream from splashing) then mix on high until the cream becomes fluffy with peaks forming. Drizzle the chocolate in slowly and whip until fully incorporated. This is fabulous when served alone, topped with fresh berries or with crepes.

Cre es Crepes are perfect for almost any time of day. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer, before and after they are cooked.

take it as a

compliment I work and plant and water and fertilize flowers, and they grow or they don't. Some that I baby the most are such wimps that any little thing will do them in.

Not so with the weeds.

I can pull weeds until I am done in and yet weeds keep coming. There is a weed that is a succulent and if I pull it out and leave it in the dirt it will sprout new roots and grow new plants. It is a beast to eradicate. The button weed has roots that are so long that it feels like digging to China to get one of them out.

They hang on for dear life.

A dandelion can push its way through dense lawn and not only grow, but bloom. Flowers are delicate and demand certain care, but weeds can take whatever we throw at them and keep on growing. So it is with life.

Some people crumple under stress and others step up and work their way through it, just like a weed. That is how we need to be if we want to make it through life's challenges. I don't want to be some hot house flower, but choose to be a weed instead, and keep plodding along no matter the challenges I am hit with.

So if anyone ever tells you, you are a weed, take it as a compliment and just keep going forward with your head held high, because it is the weeds that survive.

In a blender or food processor, combine all ofthe ingredients and pulse for 10-20 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours, or can be frozen. Heat a small non-stick pan. Add "/2 teaspoon butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly, the key is in the swirling of the pan. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 20 seconds and remove.

Stack them so they can remain warm. Continue until all the batter is gone, or store the batter in the refrigerator. Serve with a squeeze of lemon. Then sprinkle with a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and enjoy!

When you're making crepes, a deft touch with a frying pan is useful.

PINFW OOPCARSUPPLIFS

This spring, as you contemplate planting season and changes to your landscape, strive to m ake the gardenone ofparticipation. This is the ultimate in design and enjoyment.

By participation you might think I am referring to the outdoor cooking area or perhapsthe fortortreehouse where the children play. Both of these could certainly be applied in the concept, but a garden of participation is much more than that.

The concept comes from getting your visitors, whether they are family or friends,to havea participatory experience by being pulledfrom one part of the landscape to another.

Important to this design isnottorevealeverything at once. You can't see the whole garden from any one point.

Once out in the garden and in the first outdoor room, you notice another location revealed through a"door" or "window."

It'snotreally a door or window. Looking through framelike placement of treesor shrubs islike a window. It could be a gate, but probably just as easily served by a curved path or walkway.

As you and the visitors areenticed to gotothe next location, you have become an active garden participant. In the new room or location, the room that was your starting point is now concealed.

Whether or not the garden ends there is up to you, but hopefully it will continue to another room or two.

Even in a small garden, curves play the role ofhiding what is ahead.

These gardens can be ones of fragrance, encouragingvisitorsto stoop down to catch some exotic aroma. Around a corner hidden by evergreen shrubs might be a water garden, a bench, statuary, herb planter or something whimsical. All are features inviting participants to sit, touch or taste.

The conceal-and-reveal method of creating a garden of participation not only makes the garden interesting, but it also transforms the home as almost nothing else can do.

The play area may indeed

"The conceal-and-

reveal methodfo creating a gardenfo participation not only makes the garden interesting butit also

trans forms the homeas almost nothing else can

do." be around the corner. The path that takes you to a woodland seating area or a hidden gazebo has not only revealeda hidden gem but alsobecomes participatory by encouraging the visitor to sit and relax, taking in all that nature has to offer.

Take a look in your neighborhood as you drive to work or school, or peer intoa realestate buyer's guides to see the homes for sale.

It becomes woefully apparent that landscaping was put on the proverbial back burner at many homes.When you look at nice houses that have the mandatory five shrubs, two trees and little else, you get the feeling the owner never really considered it a home, but only a stopping-off place on the road oflife.

Spring planting time is just around the corner, and trucks full of trees, shrubs, flowers and hard features such as furniture and fountains will be arriving soon.

Now, however, is the time to look at your landscape and ask yourself ifitis a garden ofparticipation. Perhaps you are starting with what might be considered a blank slate. If you still have your native trees, consider yourself lucky.

If you look at your landscape and seem a little overwhelmed, consider starting with trails. Let things such as changes in elevation, trees, shifting patches of light and water guide and inspire you. Notice if animals have already given you some creativesuggestions,or your children who have already adopted the space.

Take it in bite-sized increments, and the gardening experience will be much more rewarding as itdevelopsintoone ofparticipation as the months and years go by.
