The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission ordered state wildlife managers Friday to analyze the possibilities of removing the gray wolf fiom Oregon's protected species list for all or the eastern half of the state.

The commission, which oversees the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, will not make a decision on whether to take the wolf off the state endangered

species list until the analysis of the two options is complete. ''What we wantis the best information for you and for us," Chairman Michael Finley told the audience at a commission meeting Fridayin Bend.

Along with an hour-long presentation by the Department of Fish and Wildlife's top wolf expert, the commission heard public comments fiom 38 people.

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

A state senator from Klamath Falls is sponsoring a pair ofbills that he says would make life easier for school bus drivers, farmers and others who use diesel-powered equipment during fiigid winter weather.

Doug Whitsett, a Republican, is sponsoring Senate Bills 163 and 164.

The bills take slightly different approachesto achieving the same goal, said W. Scott Jorgensen, Whitsett's

chief of staf.

Both bills address a state requirement, which tookeffectin 2011,that diesel fuel contain at least 5 percent biodiesel, which is made from Whitsett renewable sources rather than from petroleum.

Whitsett drafted the two bills after officials at the Lakeview and BendLaPine school districts reported that the 5-percent biodiesel blend had gelled

when the temperature dipped below zero, meaning the engines would no longer run.

"Once the engine has stopped running, it is not possible to heat the passenger area of the busses where the children are seated,"Whitsett wrote in a recent newsletter to his constituents.

"This creates a very cold and potentially unsafe environment for those students."

The bulk of the commenters opposed delisting the wolf.

If wolves are delisted in half the state, the dividing line would run right through Central Oregon. The line would follow U.S. Highway 97 between Biggs Junction to Bend, then U.S. Highway 20 toward Burns, and then U.S. Highway 395 fiom Riley to the Oregon-California border.

Wolves would remain listed by the state west of the line and comeoffthelisteastof the line.

The state's analysis of the two optionscould takeseveral months, Finley said, meaning the commission might not make a decision on the topic until fall. The commission could also decide to keep the wolflisted statewide, he

added.

Even if the state delists the gray wolf, the animal would still be a federally protected species in Central Oregon.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists the wolf as an endangered species in the western two-thirds of the state.

EDITORIAL

We endorse Measure 1-63 on the May 19 ballot, which would make the three Baker County Commission positions nonpartisan, because we think people who register to vote should be able to vote.

And not just on certain races in certain elections.

This might seem an unnecessary plea to make in a country where suArage is so fundamental to our national identity.

Yet in the most recent primary election, in May 2014, fewer than half of Baker County's registered voters were allowed to vote on two key races. Those were for chairman of the county Board of Commissioners, pitting Fred Warner Jr. against Bill Harvey, and for one of the two other commission positions, a three-way contest between Mark Bennett, Dick Fleming and Gene Stackle. All five candidatesare R epublicans.

Because those are partisan positions, and because the Republican Party didn't open the primary to all voters, only registered Republicans had those races on their

ballot.

There were about 4,885 registered Republicans in the county last May. They represented slightly less than 49 percentofthe county'stotalof10,026 registered voters.

Opponents of Measure 1-63 point out that it was just the primary, and that all registered voters cast a ballot for commission chairman and commissioner in the November general election.

This is true. And irrelevant.

There was no real"race" in the general election because no one else had filed as a candidate. That made the primary contests the de facto elections, and the reality is that a majority of the county's registered voters — 51 percent — in effect had no say in picking two of the three commissioners who would represent them for the next four years.

We can't support a system that leads, for whatever reason, to that level of disenfranchisement.

Measure 1-63 foes argue for maintaining the commissioner positions as partisan because they want to differentiate between Republicans, Democrats and candidates who belong to a different party or who are not afmiated with any party.

That's a reasonable expectation for a voter to have.

But Measure 1-63 in no way detracts from any voter's ability to query any candidate about anything — includ-

eri so

U ic an

Much has been said recently in the West about local control of and"taking back" our public lands.

Takingthem back from whom? The public lands never "belonged" to the states...they are made up of what was left after the U.S. government made land available for, among other things, homesteading, road-building, selections by the states as each came into the Union, and constructing the railroads that welded our young country together.

The United States acquired its land base primarily through conquest, purchase and treaty. The Constitution provides theauthorit y forthefederal government to acquire, regulate and manage public lands, and the U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized federal ownership of the public lands (once referred to as the Public Domain).

Subsequent actions designating national forests, national parks, national wildlife refuges, national wild and scenic rivers,wilderness,etc.,were accomplished from already existing public lands.

In 1976 Congress changed the status of the Public Domain and decided it was in the public's interest for the federal government to maintain ownership of, and to require several natural resource agencies to more actively manage the public lands. In BLM's case, long-term planning requirements of the FederalLand Policy and Management Act still accommodate land purchases, land exchanges, grazing, mining, recre-

ing the candidate's political party afmiation, if any.

That's why there are candidate forums.

Not to mention telephones and email accounts and

Facebook pages.

Aker all, no candidate can expect to be elected who is not willing to answer all relevant questions posed by voters — and party afmiation certainly is a relevant question for many voters, even when the race is for a nonpartisan position.

Think of it this way: If the commissioner positions were nonpartisan, do you think candidates would be able to hide their political beliefs from voters, assuming of course they would even want to do so?

The three commissioners are the only elected public legislative positions in the county that remain partisan (this doesn't include precinct committee members for political parties). Obviously the nonpartisan nature of more than 100 other positions, including all city councilors, has not prevented voters from deciding which candidates bestrepresenttheirpersonal beliefs.

Voters in three of our neighboring counties — Grant, Union and Wallowa, each of which has a similar percentage of registered Republicans — have in the past year made their county commission positions nonpartisan.

Ultimately, though, Measure 1-63 has little to do with candidates, and everything to do with voters.

Whether the commissioner positions are partisan or nonpartisan, anyone who is eligible to run can file papers and become a candidate.

But Measure 1-63 would give every registered voter in the Baker County a chance to decide who they want to represent them on the commission, based on whatever criteria, including party afmiation, that they as individual voters consider most important.

Who do you want making decisions for the county? Someone who shares the same values with you, or someone who has adifferent idea aboutwhat'sgood for you?

The nonpartisan elective county offices that we have must follow the laws that govern that particular office. They don't make the same type decisions that our county commissioners have to make. Decisions that affect us for years.

If a candidate has been vetted by his local Central Committee, you can rest assured that he has the same"core values" that you look for.

OREGON BRIEFING

ers oc s erri survivors o ea ear ua ein ea

Invasive mussels found on boat in Ontario ONTARIO iAPl — Oregon wildlife official say they've found a boat being hauled from Ohio infested with invasive mussels.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says techniciansdiscovered theZebra mussels on a boatatthe Ontario boat inspection station. The vessel, which was hauled from Lake Erie in Ohio, had mussels attached around the propeller shaft and under the stern.

Invasive mussels have caused billions in ecosystem and economic damage around the U.S. The Pacific Northwest remains one of the few places on the continent still unaffected by the mussel invasion.

Motorists hauling boats in Oregon are required to stop at inspection stations to have their watercraft checked for aquatic invasive species under a 2011 Oregon law.

Shelter, fuel, food, medicine, power, news, workers — ¹ pal's earthquake-hit capital was short on everything Monday as its people searched forlostloved ones,sorted through rubble for their belongingsand struggled toprovide for their families' needs.

In much of the countryside, it was worse, though how much worse was only beginning to become apparent.

The overall death toll soared past 4,000, even without a full accounting from vulnerable mountain villages that rescue workers were still struggling to reach two days after the disaster.

Udav Prashad Timalsina, the top official for the Gorkha district, where Saturday's magnitude-7.8 quake was centered, said he was in desperate need ofhelp.

'There are people who arenotgettingfood and shelter. I've had reports of villageswhere 70 percent ofthe houses have been destroyed," he said.

Aid group World Vision saiditsstaffm embers were able to reach Gorkha, but gathering information from the villages remained a challenge. Even when roads are clear, the group said,some remote areas can be three days'walk from Gorkha's m ain disaster center.

Some roads and trails have

BLM unveils westside logging proposals

I

PORTLAND iAPl — The Bureau of Land Management has released a draft plan that includes five approaches to managing its 2.5 million acres of public forests in western Oregon.

The plan, released on Friday, is crucial to counties, which are dependent on logging revenues from those forests.

In recentdecades logging levelshavedropped, leaving the counties with smaller revenues to fund basic services.

The alternatives contain varying approaches to where logging would be permitted, which areas would be set for recreation and which would become forest reserves that provide protected fish and wildlife habitat.

The public can comment on the plan for 90 days and attend 16 open houses or workshops in the region.

Rescuers try to remove the debris from a temple at Hanumandhoka Durbar Square after an earthquake in Kathmandu, Nepal, on Saturday. to The Associated Press."In thosevillagesthathavebeen reached, the immediate needs are great including the need for search and rescue, food items, blankets and tarps, and medical treatment."

Timalsina said 223 people had been confirmed dead in Gorkha district but he presumed"thenumber would go up because there are thousands who are injured."

He said his district had not received enough help from the central government, but Jagdish Pokhrel, the clearly exhausted army spokesman, said nearly the entire 100,000-soldier army was involvedin rescue operations. aWe have 90 percent of the army out there working on search and rescue," he said. aWe arefocusingourefforts on that, on saving lives."

Saturday's earthquake

spread horror from Kathmandu to small villages and to the slopes of Mount Everest, triggering an avalanche thatburied partofthebase camp packed with foreign climbers preparing to make their summit attempts.

Aid is coming from more than a dozen countries and many charities, but Lila Mani Poudyal, the government's chief secretary and the rescue coordinator, said Nepal needed more.

He said the recovery was also being slowed because many workers — water tanker drivers, electricity company employees and laborers needed to clear debris — "are all gone to their families and staying with them, refusing to work." aWe areappealingfortents, dry goods, blankets,m attresses,and 80 differentmedi cines

that the health department isseeking that we desperately need now," Poudyal told reporters.aWe don't have the helicopters that we need or the expertise to rescue the

people trapped."

Mercy Corps organizes relief to Nepal

As people are pulled from the wreckage, he noted, even more help is needed.

"Now we especially need orthopedic idoctorsl, nerve specialists, anaesthetists, surgeons and paramedics," he said.aWe are appealing to foreign governments to send thesespecialized and smart teams."

More than 7,180 people were injured in the quake, police said. Poudyal estimated that tens of thousands of people had been left homeless.

PORTLAND iAPl — Portland-based Mercy Corps is organizingtoprovide relieftothehundreds ofpeoplewho were affected by the deadly earthquake in Nepal.

CEO Neal Keny-Guyer said the group is assessing the situation on the ground following Saturday's 7.8 magnitude earthquake. More than 4,000 people have been killed in Nepal.

Keny-Guyer said Mercy Corps has a large team in Nepal and is checking on the safety of its team members and assessing the situation.

The earthquake is the worst tremor to hit the poor South Asian nation in over 80 years. It collapsed modern houses and centuries-old temples, and triggered a landslide on the slopes of Mount Everest.

Mercy Corps is a global humanitarian organization that responds to global emergencies such as earthquakes, floods or violent conflicts.

NBAPlayoms: MemphisTaKes3-0lead OverPortland

rai azerson e iin o eiminaion night. But it came with a cost: Conley left the game in the third quarter with a facial injury and was hospitalized for further evaluation.

The Grizzlies were already without backup point guard Beno Udrih, who sprained his right ankle in Game 2 and sat out Saturday's game.

Game 4 is set for today in

BYAnne M. Peterson Ap Sports VVrlter

PORTLAND — Stung by the loss of point guard Mike Conley, the Grizzlies gritted outtheirlatestvictory over the Trail Blazers.

Memphis took a 3-0 lead in its first-round playofFseries against Portland with a 115-109 victory on Saturday

Portland. '%ithout Mike, without Beno, I know how competitive we are," said Marc Gasol."I'm sure guys will be ready."

Gasol finished with 25 points and seven rebounds, while Courtney Lee had 20 points and Zach Randolph added 16 against the team that drafted him.

Conley had 14 points before he appeared to be elbowed in the face by Portland CJ McCollum and fell to the floor. He was whisked to the locker room holding a towel to his face.

The Grizzlies led by as many as 14 points, but Portland closed within 90-82 with 7:28 left after a trio of free

throws from Nicolas Batum.

Gasol responded with two jumpers to end the threat until Arron Afllalo's 3-pointer pulled Portland to 94-87.

Batum's 3-pointer got Portland ascloseas94-91with 2:23 left. But Tony Allen's basket ended Portland's 9-0 run and Randolph added two free throws.

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

An ode to electrici Isn't there a song or poem or something that says,"I love you. Let me count the ways."?

In this case, I have a love affair going with electricity. Let me count the ways, for we are truly connected.

Lighting, VCR, computer, printer, scanner, telephone, furnace, washing machine, dryer, microwave, space heaters, fans,refrigerator,deep freeze, kitchen range, can opener, popcorn popper, bread baker,coffee pot,electric knife, cake mixer, griddle, toaster, iron, clocks, garage opener,icecrusher,m ix-

ing blades...

How is that forstarters?

These are things I have used and appreciated, for they make my life easier and more pleasant.

Could I do without any or all of these?

Yes, I could if it were necessary, for I did without them once in their not being in existence and I could adjust to living without them again.

Would I do so, willingly? No, I don't believe I would care to give up the basic uses of electricity — lights and heating primarily, but when I consider things of a more frivolous nature — yes, I could to saveanation,for atone time there was talk about not having enough electricity to go around.

Million Bells: The author's favorite hanging plant.

Million bells: Asummer

hanging favorite Mother's Day is coming fast and what better time to give plants. There is just one thing you need to know: Million Bells.

They are really calibrachoa, but that is hard to remember. They are the most enduring summer hanging plant I have ever had and just get bigger and bigger. Our Mother's Day tradition any more is to go to EONL nursery where I pick out at least two of the nicest hanging million bells plants and my husband whips out his wallet and pays. We save by buying two and even if we didn't, I think I am worth the expense!

First thing, I put them into bigger pots so they can grow larger, and believe me they do. You don't have to dead head them like you do petunias, and if now and then (heaven forbid) they get too dry they bounce back prettyfast.Iproved that in a little basket I had out back in the hot sun.

I found it dry and wilted several times and yet it would revive after some water. Of course there would be the point of no return.

By Noelle Carter

Anne Cusack/LosAi gelesTimes

t os Angeles Times

Bergen Marcus of Los Angeles'Tarzana neighborhood recently spent a weekend at the Boulders Resort in Carefree, Ariz."Everything is so amazing there, including the cowboy s'mores in their Palo Verde restaurant. They are so gooey and delicious! Do you think you could get the recipe?" The recipe is time-consuming, as all components, even the graham crackers, are homemade. But the layereddessert— a takeon the classiccamping treat— makes fora dramatic presentation, whether you're serving company or simply the family.

THE BOULDERS RESORT'S COWBOY S'MORES

Honey graham crackers 12/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons (8.4 ounces) graham flour (whole wheat flour can be substituted) 1/3 cup plus 2 scant tablespoons (1.875 ounces) all-purpose flour Scant 1/3 cup (3 ounces) dark brown sugar 2/4 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free) /2teaspoon baking soda /2teaspoon kosher salt 1/8teaspoon ground cinnamon "/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons 2( /4 stick) butter, cut into "/4-inch cubes and chilled 2 tablespoonsmolasses 2 tablespoonsplus 2teaspoons honey 3 tablespoons milk /2teaspoon vanilla extract

2"/2 hours, plus chilling time. Serves 6 Blackout cake 2/4 cup (3.1 ounces) flour "/4 cup plus 2tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for flouring the pan 1 teaspoon baking soda /2teaspoon baking powder "/4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup plus1"/2 tablespoons sugar 1 egg "/4 cup vegetable oil /2cup buttermilk /2cup brewed coffee, at room temperature /2teaspoon vanilla extract 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch cake pan and line with parchment.

Butter the parchment and flour the pan with cocoa powder, shaking out the excess.

2. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat together the egg and sugar until thickened and lemon-colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Slowly beat in the vegetable oil. Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk in thirds, alternating between each, and scraping down the bowl once or twice. Beat in the coffee and vanilla to form a thin batter and pour into the prepared pan.

4. Bake until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes, rotating the cake halfway through for even baking. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack, peel off the paper and cool completely.

Cover the cake completely with plastic wrap and freeze until firm.

5. Using a serrated knife, carefully split the firm cake into three thin layers. Using a round cutter, cut18 circles. The circles can be made up to 1 month in advance; cover tightly and freeze the layers if not using immediately, giving them time to thaw before assembling the final dessert.

1. Place both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the molasses, honey, milk and vanilla extract and process until the dough forms a ball, approximately1 minute. Press the ball into a "/2-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

3. Unwrap the chilled dough and place it onto a large piece of parchment paper and top with a second sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out until it is 1/16-inch thick. Slide the rolled dough and parchment paper onto a half sheet pan. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the dough, using a rolling pizza cutter into 2-inch square pieces, by making vertical and then horizontal cuts all the way across the dough.

4.Trimoffany excess.Using afork,poke holes all over the top of the dough. Leave the crackers on the pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for approximately16 to 20 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden dark. Remove from the oven, set the sheet pan with the crackers on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once completely cool, break into individual crackers. This makes about 2 dozen crackers, depending on size; they will keep stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Ganache 1 cup heavy cream 8 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped Scald the cream in a small saucepan. Pour over the chocolate in a bowl and gently whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined. Cool until slightly warm to the

touch and set aside. This makes about 1"/2 cups ganache.

Marshmallow fluff topping '/4 cup granulated sugar /2cup light corn syrup "/4 cup water

1/8 teaspoon fine salt 2 egg whites, at room temperature "/4teaspoon cream oftartar 1/2teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1. Stir together the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in a small saucepan over high heat.

Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 240 degrees on a candy/fat thermometer.

2. Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Start whipping the egg whites to soft peaks on medium speed. (The goal is to have the egg whites whipped and ready, waiting for your syrup to be drizzled in. If they're whipping faster than your syrup is coming to temperature, just stop the mixer until the syrup is ready.)

3.When the sugar syrup is heated, reduce the mixer speed and slowly drizzle about 2 tablespoons of syrup into the egg whites to warm them. (If you add too much syrup at once, the whites will scramble.) Slowly drizzle in the rest of the syrup. Increase the mixer speed and whip until the marshmallow creme is stiff and glossy, about 7 minutes, then whip in the vanilla. This makes a generous 2 cups marshmallow fluff.

Cowboy s'mores 18 circles blackout cake About 2/4 cup ganache, or as desired About 1"/2 cups marshmallow fluff topping, or as desired 12 honey graham crackers To assemble each dessert, place 1 chocolate cake layer in a glass or narrow serving dish. Top with about 2 tablespoons ganache, then repeat until you have 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of ganache. Top with a dollop of marshmallow fluff. Caramelize the marshmallow using a kitchen torch and serve with graham crackers on the side. Repeat to assemble the remaining desserts.

RecallfearsP Makehummus athome

By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

With the national recall of classic Sabra Hummus because oflisteria, you might be missing your hummus fix.

Grab a couple of cans of chickpeas and tahini and get your food processor ready.

It's easy to make your own and it can be varied in several ways.

Chickpeas and tahini are the two key ingredients that make up hummus. Tahini is made up of ground sesame seeds and sometimes oil — it looks almost like peanut butter. Look for tahini in the ethnicaisle atm ostgrocery stores.A common brand is Ziyad. A 16-ounce jar

is about $5.

N.C.)

You may still be wincing a bitifyou had to write a bigger-than-expected check to the state or Uncle Sam on tax day this year.

Moments like these make many of us ponder belt tightening, especially how we can save afew dollarson ourfood budgets.

First ofE the easiest way to save money on food is to cook more of it at home. Second, the most expensive items on our shopping lists are often animal proteins: filets of fish, hunks of meat, cuts of poultry. So how can we save money and still get our protein fix?

Linda Watson of Raleigh, North Carolina, who offers frugal, healthy recipes on her Cook for Good website, says: "The most expensive protein you eat is a protein you don't need.

The typical American consumes too much protein, said Jennifer Anderson, a registered dietitian with the heart and vascular institute at Novant Health in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Most adults need between 46 and56 grams ofprotein a day. Keep in mind that two large eggs have 12 grams, a 4-ounce piece of chicken has 36 grams, and an 8-ounce cup of skim milk has 8 grams. Eat all of those in a day and you have consumed the recommended daily limit. aWe can get our needs met without having meat at every single meal,"Anderson said.

Fish, meat and poultry are not our only sources of protein. Think of financial guru Dave Ramsey's oft-given adviceto thosetrying to save money: Eat beans and rice and rice and beans.

You don't have to be that

Juii Leonard/Raleigh News Sr Observer

spartan, but beans are a goodstarting pointforfrugal, protein-packed meals. Many othervegetables areexcellent sourcesofprotein:potatoes and green vegetables such as peas, broccoliand leafy greens. And don't forget protein powerhouse Greek yogurt.

Another idea is to stretch the animal proteins that you do buy with other ingredients. Instead of a hunk of meat on your plate, use meat to seasona vegetable stir-fry or a bean soup. One chopped chicken breast can go a long way in a pasta salad filled with vegetables. Ground beef goesfarther fortacosiftortillas are also filled with grilled peppers,onions and squash.

W hen you do shop forfish, meat or poultry, only buy it on sale, advises frugal blogger Jessica Fisher, author of

the Good Cheap Eats blog and a new cookbook by the same name.

Fisher has a lot of experience stretching protein dollars, feeding her family of eight. She combines turkey and black beans for a simple taco dinner. She makes lasagna with only a pound ofground meat,and sloppy Joes instead ofhamburgers. She notes that today's chicken breasts are so huge that she often cuts them into

four portions.

Less meatdoesn'tleave her or her family hungry. aWe feel satisfied," Fisher feeldeprived." said.aWe don't

THE CHEAPEST SOURCES OF PROTEIN We compare some of our favoritesourcesofprotein by price per ounce.

• Dried Beans: $1.87 for 32 ounces, which when cooked equals about 96 ounces; 2 cents per ounce.

• Canned Beans: 77 cents for 15.5-ounce can; about 5 cents per ounce.

• Kale: $1.99 for 2-pound bunch; 6 cents an ounce.

• Eggs: $1.89 a dozen for large eggs, which are each 1.75 ounces; 9 cents an ounce.

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast: $1.99 a pound on sale at meat counter; 12 cents per ounce.

• Canned tuna: 90 cents for 5 ounce can; 18 cents per ounce.

• Ground Pork, 90 percent lean: $3.99 per pound; 25 cents per ounce.

• Ground Beef, 93 percent lean: $5.99 per pound; 37 cents per ounce.

The plant shown in the photo on Page 1B would trail a lot longer if it weren't on the round bistro table itisspread over, butwe like it that way. I hang a large one on a post by the street and then a few along our overhang out front.

I am sure you will find them at any nursery, but EONL is just a few roads over from us so we pop over. Come on guys, get yourself over to a nursery for a hardy Mother's Day plant. You wife will thank you for sure.

Continued from Page 1B Chickpeas also are called garbanzo beans and ceci beans.

If you use canned, no-salt added if possible, chickpeas, it's more convenient. But you can use dry beans if you like. Dry beans shouldbe soaked atleasteight hours or overnight and then cooked.

Here's a basic recipe for hummus and one for a roasted red pepper version.

Besides, computer email keeps me in closer touch with people since handwriting is becoming more diKcult for social letter writing. I must remind myself, though, that I could still use a manual typewriter and carbon paper to make copies, then use the mail delivery. I suppose I would take a second look at my microwave, too.

In order to give up such things as an electric stove would mean that it would be necessary to have a woodburning range on which to cook. It would be less convenient, but it could be done if wood were available.

necessary, it's amazing just how many of these conveniences we could do without.

Think about shovels versus snowblowers, rotary mowers versus electric lawn mowers, hammers and screwdriversagainstthe electric ones. Think of ways to stir and chop and blend.

Think of ways to cook and clean and communicate.

I'mnotdowngrading our use of these wonderful discoveries. I'm simply wondering just how many of them are really necessary to our way oflife.

when he took me with him at 50 pounds, but when I didn't go he had practically nothing.

He loved it that way — getting away from conveniences to survive under his own power.

I remember childhood and being without things I had never heard of or dreamed of, including television and today'selectronics,and I didn't miss them, so I guess they really weren't all that necessary to my enjoyment oflife.

If we ever have to limit ourselves on the number of items run by electricity to 20, Ihope they can totalatleast a dozen. I really don't need the other eight.

But, I'm glad I have them.

Two related issues would expand the marriage rights of same-sex couples. The bigger one: Do same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry or can states continue to define marriage as theunion ofam an and a woman?

The second: Even if states won't allow some couples to marry, must they recognize validsame-sex marriages &om elsewhere?

The justices on Tuesday are hearing extended arguments, scheduled to run 2f/2 hours, in highly anticipatedcasesabout the right of same-sex couples to marry.

The cases before the court come &om Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, all of which had their marriage bans upheld by the federal appeals court in Cincinnati in November. That appeals court is the only one that has ruledin favorofthe states

• Same-sex marriage legal • Sam e -sex marriage not legal g Pending court action

two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law that denied a range of government benefits to legally married same-sex couples.

The decision in United States v. Windsor did not addressthe validity ofstate marriage bans, but courts across the country, with few exceptions, said its logic compelled them to invalidate statelaws that prohibited gay and lesbian couples &om marrying.

The number of states allowing same-sex marriage has grown rapidly. As recentlyas October,justover one-thirdofthe statespermitted same-sex marriage.

Now, same-sex couples can marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. A look at what is now before the Supreme Court, and the status of same-sex marriage around the country:
