History, Page 5A It's well known that a small Chinese ghetto existed at the southeast corner of Baker City's business district from the late 1860s until about 1940. Not so well known today is the fact that from the early 1900s until 1942, Baker, as it was known then, also had a small population of Japanese. A three-part series by local historian Gary Dielman starts today. The series will continue Wednesday and Friday.

A plantosellapiece ofcity-owned property at the base of the Elkhorn Mountains will probablyend up on the November ballot. The city wants to unload its 40-acre Salmon Creek property — about eight miles west of Baker City and originally purchased in the late 19th century — but must secure voter approval first, as mandated by the city charter. ''We've never done anything with it," City Manager Mike Kee said of the parcel of timbered property. The city had trees thinned on the property in 2003. Kee said the property could be worth as

much as $100,000. "I guess the city potentially could have developedit.Itwaspurchased in the 1880s probablyfor some kind ofwaterproject,"Kee sald.

BRIEFING

Three local students will NRA scholarship Baker City students Sarah Spaugh, Brian Staebler-Siewell and Lukas Huggins are among 15 Oregon students to receive $1,000 college or technical school scholarships from the Oregon Friends of the NRA.

Applicants were evaluated based on academic achievement, extracurricular activities, community volunteerism and an essay about the Second Amendment. "It is an honor to see these youth learn about our Second Amendment through this program," said Kati Jones, scholarship committee member. More information about the scholarship, including application requirements for next year, is available at www.friendsofnra.com.

WEATHER

Kathy Orr / Baker City Herald

Signs of spring abound in Baker Valley, including center pivot sprinklers nourishing newly planted crops, but high in the Elkhorn Mountains the snow is still several feet deep.

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

While most of Oregon and the Westbrace forpossible water shortages this summer due to a scanty snowpack, the northeastern corner boasts a relative bounty. This is the only part of the state where the snowpack is above average. As of this morning, the water content in the snow in the region comprising the Burnt, Powder, Grande Ronde and Imnaha river basinsis9 percent above average. In the Willamette River basin, by contrast, which includes much of the Central Cascades, the snowpack is just half of average. The situation is even more dismal in the southern half of Oregon — the Rogue and Umpqua basins are 25 percent of average, the Klamath basin a meager 14 percent. In Northeastern Oregon most of the snow has melted

belowabout 5,000 feetelevation. But high in the Elkhorns and the Wallowas, the source for water in the summer, the snow still lies deep. At AnthonyLake,forinstance, snow surveyors from the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service measured 81 inches of snow on Wednesday. The water content was 34 inches. That's about 11 percent above average, and the secondhighest water content for the official May 1 measurement in the past 14 years. iln 2011 the water content on May 1 was 34.2 inches.) The snowpack at Anthony Lake,elevation 7,125 feet,and at other sites high in the Elkhorns and Wallowas, tends to peak aroundthe fi rstofM ay. The all-time record for May 1 at Anthony Lake is 45.6 inches, measured in 1997. Last year the water content

YMCA settles dispute with with contractor By Pat Caldwell pcaldwell©bakercltyherald.com

A dispute between the Baker County YMCA and a local contractor regarding a project to remodel the former Wilson's Market — now the YMCA's Fitness Center on Pocahontas Road — is over. Baker County YMCA CEO Heidi Dalton saidFriday that the legalnegotiations between the YMCA and Gyllenberg Construction Inc., had been resolved outside of the court system. Because the matter was settled outsideofcourt,thedetailsofthe agreement have not been publicly announced. "It's been resolved,settled outofcourt.All the liens have been removed," Dalton said today. At issue was a claim of construction lien from Nov. 4, 2013, by Brent Gyllenberg. The firm asserted the YCMCA owed Gyllenbeg Construction $385,262.70.

Last year the water content on this date was 23.7 inches. At Mount Howard, just east of Wallowa Lake, the water content this morning was 21.2 inches — 26 percent above averageforthatsite,elevation 7,910 feet. On the west side of the Wallowas, at Moss Springs above Cove, the water content this morning was 24.4 inches, 38 percent above average for the 5,760-foot station.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 5, 1964 The Rural School District levy of $70,792 over the 6 percent limitation was approved by Baker County voters yesterday in the school election. The unofficial results how the measure passed 696 to 588, with only Pine-Eagle School District R61 defeating it 448 to 326. The recall petition against school board member David Densely went down in defeat 444 to 342, passing only in the Richland Precinct. Richland voted to recall Densley 234 to 112, but Halfway was against the recall 249 to 96 and Oxbow was against it 83 to 12. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 5, 1989 The mayor of Granite has resigned as the result of an apparent dispute with the two other members of the town's three-member City Council. The resignation was reported to the Democrat-Herald Thursday by Granite resident Robert Ditty, who was visiting Baker to purchase provisions. Ditty, who said he recently resigned as a member of the council, said Mayor Harold Medler quit his position Wednesday night. Neither Medler nor other members of Granite city government could be reached for comment cause the town has no telephone service. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 5, 2004 Transforming the Carnegie Library into a new home for the Crossroads Arts Center is several steps closer to reality than it was in January — about 57390 steps closer. That's how many dollars have been pledged or given to the project to date, said Kathleen Chaves, who's banking on the community reaching a goal of $150,000 by Dec. 1. That's the amount that must be raised in order to activate a $75,000 challenge grant from the Collins Foundation. With that goal met, other funding sources have indicated they might help out on the way to the project's estimated $1.3 million cost. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 8, 2013 The U.S. Bureau ofLand Management has made tentative decisions about the future routing of the Boardman to Hemingway power line — and its decision about a local section of the project hasn't gladdened many Baker County residents. It's because the environmentally preferred route is the one that travels west of the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.

Only registered Republicans will cast

FORESTS Continued ~om Page1A Fleming, who along with Gene Stackle is running against incumbent Mark Bennett for Baker County Commissioner Position No. 2,said the addition ofthe Powder River Correctional Facility in 1989 helped fuel some job growth. Yet Fleming said there is a vast, untapped resource within driving distance from the city and it is essentially offlimits for economic activities. Area forests,he said,sag under the weight of dangerous fuel loads and are not utilized in the manner they should be. "The approach really should be, you go out and look at a patch of timber and you, first of all, mark to cut anythingthat isdiseased or dying.Then you look for the biggest, healthiest,fastest-

"I think it iforestsl is our biggest, single asset if it is managed properly. If not managed properlyitbecomes a liability," he said. Fleming said he isn't convinced that the Forest Service is following the original edictthat created the agency. "I don't see the original law thatestablished theforest service being followed. Partly because oflawsuits and laws and regulati ons,"hesaid. Opening the forests for more logging would create more revenue for the government, Fleming said. "The federal government is in a position, somehow, where they've painted themselves into a corner, where with this huge asset they can't break

Fleming, like fellow candidate Bill Harvey, who is runnng against incumbent Commission Chairman Fred Warner Jr., believes that a process called"coordination" is the key to unlock the timber lock-box.

PROPERTY Continued from Page1A The plan to sell the land was on the 2013 City Council goal list and a move to place the proposal on the November ballot is again a high priority for city officials. "Now it's a matter of waiting for another election," Kee sald. Kee said theproperty is not an essential element to the broader city in&astructure system. "It's a long way &om the watershed and really, the Salmon Creek doesn't run through it so we can't identify any watershed project it w ould be used for.Itisgood we've kept it and maintained it. It is really good developableproperty outthere.Ifthe proceeds &om that could be usedtoward a water project, I think that would be a better use," he said. Salmon Creek acreage is actually two pieces of adjacentproperty.Oneparcel isjustover33 acresw hil e another is about 15 acres. Kee saidthe property could be a real gain for an interested individual. "Maybe one of those people who have a lot in the area, this would give them a biggerpieceofproperty.Really anybody wanting to move out in the country and build a house," Kee said.

LOCAL BRIEFING

The urban interface is the zone where homes adjoin undeveloped land, both rangeland and forest, where wildfires pose a particular threat. There are several urban interface zones in Baker County, including neighborhoods along the base of the Elkhorn Mountains west of Baker City, in Sumpter and Pine valleys, and at Stices Gulch near the Dooley Mountain Highway. As a part of Wildfire Awareness Week, the Baker County Interagency Fire Prevention Team will be visiting area schools and providing students with fire prevention training and fire

safetyprojectideas. These include such steps as: • Enclosingeaves,fascias, soffits and subfloor vents with non-corrosive metal mesh of V8-inch or less. • Removing debris, firewood and other stored items &om under decking and enclose decking with V8 inch screen mesh to keep out burning embers. • Keeping your roof and gutters free ofneedles, leaves and other debris. • Installing metal, or Class A rated fire resistant asphalt roofing.

GUEST EDITORIAL

wron on encin Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: If the Bureau of Land Management is going to enforce the law, it needs to know the law. When it comes to fencing on Steens Mountain, the BLM doesn't know the law. The Steens Act of 2000 turned Steens Mountain into a wilderness-like area. A major part of the agreement is that it would be livestock-free. That was a big deal for ranchers. Traditionally, their cattle would graze on the rich grasses on the mountain. It was also a big deal because there are private inholdings within the wilderness and ranches that border the wilderness. Ranchers wanted guarantees about access to

inholdings and protections from being held liable if cattle strayed. They got those guarantees in the Steens Act. A rancher, George Stroemple, sought permission in 2013 to trail his cattle across public land to get to privately held land within the Steens. A BLM decision gave him permission to trail the cattle across public land. That made sense because the Steens Act directs the government to give reasonable access to private lands

within public lands. But the government doesn't always make sense. Also, in that decision, the BLM asserted it is the rancher's responsibility to fence in the cattle to ensure they don't stray into the wilderness. That's not what the law says. That's not the intent of the law. The Steens Act mentions fencing twice: 1.'The Secretary shall also construct fencing and developwater systems as necessary to allow reasonable and eIIicient livestock use of the ireplacementl forage resources."

2.'The secretary iof the Interior) shall be responsible for installing and maintaining any fencing required for resource protection within the designated no livestock grazing area." Does it really need to be more clear than that?

The BLM says yes. The BLM says that the first sentence applies only to the lands that were involved in land swaps that occurred in the act. And it says the second sentence applies only to resource protection and does not establish a BLM responsibility to pay for fencing to keep private livestock on private land. Of course, we are not legal experts. But on this issue we have anadvantage.We talked on Friday to theranchers who helped negotiate the law. More importantly, we

spoke with the law's author — U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River. He personally negotiated the Steens Act with thenSecretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt. As Walden said, he can't say this in many cases, but in this case, he really did write the law. And we spoke with the BLM. Walden met with ranchers and Jerry Perez, the Oregon/Washington state director for the BLM in Burns on Friday. At that meeting, it was clear who knew the law

and who didn't. Perez has a lot of experience in natural resource issues and with the federal government. But he worked for the Forest Service until two years or so ago. The Steens Act

was signed in 2000. When asked by Walden What the heck is going on?" "Some of this issue is in my blind spot," Perez replied, adding later: "I need to get a better understanding of the act." He didn't say anything more specific because of pending litigation with Stroemple. Fred Otley, a rancher at the meeting, said when the Steens Act was being negotiated, ranchers were worried about the cost of fencing. They also knew lawsuits, fines or worse could follow if cattle weren't fenced in. That's why the language in the law specified the government would be responsible for fencing. Ranchers and Walden said there was no real disagreement on the matter. It made sense to everyone. Otley added that the BLM contracted with him to fence in some ofhis land. That's why Walden and ranchers were stunned to hear the BLM did not believe it was responsible for fencing in cattle or that it would be responsible only in certain areas. The BLM can't assign its own meaning to the language of the Steens Act. Unless it can prove that congressional intent is somehow di6'erent from what the law's author says it was, it's the BLM's responsibility for fencing in cattle on the Steens.

onservatives nee to t e The most important battle in politics today is the one within the Republican Party, and the tea party movement didn't start it. The GOPs civil war began in 1912 when Teddy Roosevelt made progressivism the governing philosophy of the Republican establishment. For the 102 years since, the conflict has been between limited-government constit utionalconservativesand the proponents ofbig government — and the big spending that goes with it. It has been waged with conservative Republicans, such as Sens. Robert A. Tak, Barry Goldwater and Jesse Helms, on one side, and big-government Republicans, such as Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon and Ford and New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, on the other. Many thought, wrongly, that the conservatives won with the election of Ronald Reagan and his coalition of economic, national defense and socialconservatives. But today's Republican establishment &equently invokes Reagan while also pursuing a progressive agenda at odds with his principles. Big-government Republicans today include Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John A. Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Make no mistake, the establishment GOP is not the political home of conservatives. To understand today's battles, and the rise of the tea party movement, one must understand that the tea party is as much or more a rebellion against the entrenched leadership of the Republican Party as it is a reaction to specific policies

By Gary Dielman It's well known that a small Chinese ghetto existed at the southeastcorner of Baker City's business districtfrom the late 1860s until about 1940. Not so well known today is the fact that from the early 1900s until 1942, Baker, as it was known then, also had a small population of Japanese. Itisthepurposeofthistlueepart article, which begins today and continues Wednesday and Friday, to ~ogmze the Japanese community's presence in Baker for several decades and its sudden disappearance. Featured is the Yano family, startingin Whitney at the western edge of Baker County in the early 1920s, moving to Bakerin the late 1930', leaving Baker Countyin 1942, and following their successful lives up to the present.

Winterhawks win WHL finals opener

Sntaris takestwsfrsmSaker

PORTLAND — Paul Bittner scored two goals and Nicolas Petan added three assists as the Portland Winterhawks took Game 1 of the Western Hockey League final with a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oil Kings. Keegan Iverson, Chase De Leo and Mathew Dumba also scored for Portland while goaltender Corbin Boes made 31 saves for the win. Brett Pollock and Henrik Samuelsson supplied the goals for the Oil Kings as Tristan Jarry stopped 31 shots in a losing effort. "Itwas agood fi rstgame from our perspective,"said Portland head coach Mike Johnston."Offensively, we created good chances." Edmonton earned three power plays in the first period to Portland's none, but it was the Winterhawks who got off to afaststart. Iversonscored 2:20 into the fi rst period to put Portland up 1-0, a score that held until the Winterhawks added two goals in the final two minutes of the period. The Oil Kings and Winterhawks are meeting in the WHL final for the third straight season. Edmonton won in seven games in 2012, while Portland took the championship series in six games last season. Portland is appearing in its fourth consecutive league final, the first WHL team to do so since the New Westminster Bruins played in four straight from 1975-78.

Durant scored 33 points, Russell Westbrook had a triple-double, and the Oldahoma CityThunder beatthe Grizzlies 120109 on Saturday night in Game 7 of their firstround Western Conference playofF series. Durant looked like his usualselfafterstruggling against Memphis' rugged defense for much of the series. The regular-season scoring champion made 12 of 18 field goals and all five of his 3-pointers after struggling from long range throughout the series. "I got out of my own way," he said. "I was thinking too much. I was worrying about what you guys ithe medial were saying. I was worrying about what shots I was going to shoot throughout a game." With top scorer Zach Randolph suspended, the Grizzlies shook things up and traded their grindit-out style for Oklahoma City'sfasterpace.

PORTLAND — Damian Lillard couldn't believe when he got a clear look at the rim. With the final buzzer about to sound, he took his shot. "I got my feet squared up and it felt real good leaving my hands," Portland's point guard said."Once I saw it on line, I said, 'That's got a chance."' Lillard's shot fell and the Trail Blazers stunned the Houston Rockets 99-98totake their playofFseriesin six games and advance to the Western Conference semifinals for the first time in 14 years. In thefrenzied postgame celebration, Lillard took the public address microphone and shouted "Rip City!" The hometown crowd roared. Portland, making its first playofF appearance since 2011, had been eliminated in the first round in its last

six trips, and hadn't advanced to the second round since 2000. "It's a great feeling," said fellow guard Wesley Matthews. "I'm excited forPortland, ofcourseexcited forus. The grind of the season: You're a competitor, you want to win, you want to play, you want to advance, you want to be a champion.... It's unbelievable." Dwight Howard made four consecutivefree throws to tie the game at91 before making a bank shot that put Houston ahead with 3:04 to go. Robin Lopezscored on a tip shotto give the

Blazersa 94-93 lead with 2:15 left,setting up a wild finish. Howard's layup and foul shot put the Rocketsback up 96-94 beforeNicolas Batum's fadeaway jumper tied it again with 39.9 seconds left. Chandler Parsons scored on a reverse layup with 0.9 secondsleftto give Houston the lead. Lillardprevented the seriesfrom going back to Houston with his 3-pointer as time ran out. He finished with 25 points. The Trail Blazers said Lillard is the first player to make a buzzer-beating shot to win a playofFseries since John Stockton's 3 that led Utah over Houston in 1997's Western Conference finals, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. "He made a hell of a shot," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said of Lillard. Portland will face San Antonio, which beat Dallas 119-96 in a decisive Game 7 on Sunday.

Timbers get first win Saturday PORTLAND (AP)The PortlandTimbers scored in the opening minute and the last minute to earn their first victory of the season. Maximiliano Urruti got the deciding goal in stoppage time and the Timbers defeated D.C. United 3-2 on Saturday night. "This is the kind of win that really catapults ateam,"Portland coach Caleb Porter said. Futty Danso also scored for the Timbers, who were winless for their first eight matches of the season for the team's longest span without a victory since 2012. The streak was concerning for a team that went all the way to the Western Conference final last season. But Urruti came off the bench to snap it with a rebound from just inside the box as United goalkeeper Bill Hamid tumbled to the rain-soaked turf. There was four minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game.

Baker clinched a post-season baseball berth Saturday after sweeping Ontario 8-0 and 13-4 in a Greater Oregon League doubleheader at the Baker Sports Complex. Baker (7-1 in the GOL) can finish no worse than second place in the GOL race with four games remaining in the regular season. Baker and La Grande remain tied for the top spot with the same 7-1 record. Baker travels to Mac-Hi Wednesday and La Grande plays Ontario this week. Barring the unforeseen, the GOL title will be on the line May 16 when La Grande visits Baker. "It should come down to that Friday, a big weekend for us," said Baker coach Tim Smith.

LOS ANGELES — When the final buzzer sounded on the longest two weeks of the Los Angeles Clippers' careers, they felt more exhaustion than elation.

• Baker High School's Brandon Ellwanger has pulled off a rare feat this spring, excelling both in golf and track and field, but the combination makes for a hectic schedule for the senior By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

Whether it's on the course

at Quail Ridge Golf Course or the track at Baker High School, Brandon Ellwanger is at the top ofhis game. The Bulldog senior is excellingat tw osports— golfand track and field — this spring. It's not unheard off for a high school athlete to compete, and to do well, in two sports during the same seasons. But for Ellwanger it's a different twist. "I competed in track trom the sixth through eighth grade when we lived in Boise," Ellwanger said. "I loved track. Then I started golfing. "My dad got me started golfing, mostly just for the fun of the game," Ellwanger said. "I never played competitive

"I played only golf that year," he said. "Then my sophomore year I focused on golf. I tried doing track too my junior year, but it didn't work." Ellwanger said he managed to work both sports into his schedule this spring because he was studying a college writing course during sixth and seventh period earlier in the year. When that course ended he hadthosetwo periods free. "Iusethat time topractice golf and track," Ellwanger said. "It hasn't been an easy thing to do. Depending on each sport's schedule that week I will go golf then track, or track then golf." And, that doesn't take into account matches or meets during the week. In fact, at Baker's first home track meet, Ellwanger couldn't compete because he was on the road with the Baker golf team.

"This year I'd really like to take the district title again, then compete for the state title," Ellwanger said. "And, I'd like for us to win the title again." In track, Ellwanger has competed in the 4x100 relay, 100, long jump, triple jump and 200. In his first meet of the season, at La Grande, he won the 100 and long jump and was a member of the Baker 4x100 winning relay team. Ellwanger currently has the third best 100 time in

"My favorite sport is golf," he said. He has received a full ride to Southwestern Oregon Community College. "That two-year college on the Oregon coast is almost like a grade school for golf," Ellwanger said. He said he plans to move on to a four-year school, hopefully one where he can continue to play collegiate

golf. "The past four seasons I've been pretty focused on golf," Ellwanger said. It shows in his success at the Class 4A state tournament. His treshman season he placed27th.He improved to seventh place his sophomore

"I like the 100. I'm more into the sprints. That way I can gofastfor a shortperiod of time" Ellwanger said He said developing his leg muscles has helped him in both sports. Itreallydoes help, said of the leg work. "A lot of my power comes from my legs, trom my hips." And, he said, adding 15 to 20 pounds since last season also has helped him hit the golfball farther. If all goes well for Ellwanger he will be busy in the next couple of weeks. The district golf tournament is May 12-13, district trackMay 16-17,stategolf May 19-20, and state track May 23-24.

NO CHILD LEFT INSIDE

CeledratinoCincodeMayo

MEG HAWICS

Spring's here: Go out and see, smell, feel My friend has a couple of mantras that she lives by. One is "No Child Left Inside," which I conveniently borrowed for the name of my column. Another that she promotes and frequently quotes on social media sites is "No Moms Left Inside." I'm going to change that to "No Parents Left Inside" and use it for this column. Though both of these catchphrases are a play on the education law known as "No Child Left Behind," they are wise words all parents should live by. When I think of No Parents Left Inside two things immediately come to mind. First, enjoy life,and passthatdesire on to your kids. Watching the tulips and other flowers bloom, listening to birds and hearing water run in a stream often remind us of the simple things in life. Spring presents many of these opportunities to enjoy those simple things that can bring us joy. Kids are curious and intuitivethey seek to see, smell, hear, and touch new things. Give them every opportunity you can to allow them to take it all in. You don't have to pack up and head to the trails; this is possible in your own backyard or on a walk through your neighborhood. Look for flowers, listen for birds, jump in puddles. Seek out the good things in life, things that are real and uplifbng. SeeSpringlEbge 2B

lid. Really! You may wantan explanation why this can be. Or, maybe you don't. I'm going to tell you anyway. You see, way back in 1912 my Swiss grandfatherFritzhad a nephew who joined him in the U.S. from their native country. His name was August, but they called him Guisti. M y grandfather owned a greatdeal of the hillside land along the Mill Canyon Road (Morgan Lake Road) from just about the power plant clear up to almost Morgan Lake. As he was building his family home and fencing off enoughacreage to have a dairy,fields ofclover,fruittrees,barns,gardens and dancehall, he decided to sell a few acres to this nephew Guisti after his arrival from the old country. Guisti arrived early in 1912 and he lived with Fritz's family helping out with the building and chores. Then he sent back home for his intended bride. Her name was Marie, but Guisti christened her with an American name of Mickey after Walt Disney's cartoon character. SeeDory I Page 2B

Pasillo Chile Dip — be prepared foryour guests to askyou about the ingredients.

By Karen Kain Cinco de Mayo is a much bigger holiday in the United States than in Mexico. It originated with Mexican-American communities as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War. Today we observe Cinco de Mayo asa celebration ofMexican heritage and pride. Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for "fifth of May." However, it is not Mexican Independence Day, which actually occurs on September 16. In honor of Cinco de Mayo I am sharing with you some of my very favorite recipes. Any excuse to cook Mexican food works for me. Here are three ofmy favorite dip recipes. You will find that the Pasillo Chile Dip recipe is unique in its contents and flavors. Each time I serve this dip it leaves my guests curious about the ingredients and always asking for more. Anothergreatrecipe isBarb's Roasted Salsa. One of my favoritethings about roasted salsa is that you can add most anything to it. I encourage you to be creative and add your favorite ingredients. You can always addmore or lessheat as you desire. Finally, a simple guacamole dip is always a party pleaser. Serve all with chips or tortillas.

Pansearing:Askillthatshoul e inyour regertoire By James P. DeWan Chicago Tnbune

Stop meifyou've heard this one: Culinary school. Day 1. Pound cake. I ask the instructor how long to leave it in the oven."Until it's done," she says."I know," I say, "but how long do I leave it in the oven?"And she says, again, annoyed,"Until it's done." Now, my memory's a bit fuzzy on the details, but, as I recall, we went back and forth like this for several hours until, finally, after clonking me on the head with her rubber spatula, I understood her point: Cooking, like everything else in the known universe, follows the laws of the universe il know I've said that before). This means that, in order to predict an outcome, say, the time it takes a pound cake to get"done," you need to understand all the variables: How hot is your oven, really? How thick is the batter? Icould goon. What I learned that day was, I had a lot to learn and a lotto practice.Oh,and the value of a good clonking. Today, we'll apply those principles to one ofthem ost common kitchen methods: pan searing.

WHY YOU NEED TO LEARN THIS Pan searing isgreatfor any relatively small piece

Bill HoganI Chicago Tahune

Pan searing meat produces a lipsmacking, golden brown crust surrounding a perfectly cooked inside. Flip the meat after one side reaches the desired doneness. Unfortunately there is not set time on when to turn or how long to cook.

Continued from Page 1B Many evenings at dusk, right beforethekidsgotobed,we siton our front porch to listen to the robins singing. It's a great way to wind down for the night. As parents we need to take the time to point out simple joys — if we don't then who will? Second, No Parents Left Inside for sanity sake! Being a parent can be a whirlwind of emotions. Sometimes the best way to deal with the chaos of parentingisto remove ittrom your home. When I say"it,"I mean yourself and your kids. When you feel as if stepping on one more Cheerio or picking up one more wood block is going to put you over the edge, then go outside! If you feel like going outside is too much effort then I'd say that's even more of a reason to find motivation to go outside. Going to the park, on a bike ride, throwing rocks in a river, or going for a quick hike is like hitting a reset button in my household. I understand how hard it is just to get out the door some days, but I also understand my sanity and my family's sanity depends on it. Maybeit's justme but I find that many of the rewarding aspects ofbeing a parent come trom sharing what I love with my kids. I'm compiling a bucket list of local outdoor things to do with kids this summer and will put this list in a future column. I'm goingtousethislistto getoutside more this summer and I hope it would help you do the same. If you have any local kid-triendly activities that you'd like to see on this bucket list I'd love to hear them. You can email me at eohawks@gmail. com.

have with the tree in it you just purchased and set it down where you want to plant it. Now look up! See any wires? Don't plant it there! Do your homework before making a large plant purchase such as trees. How tall and wide will it get? Do you really want something that largein thatspot? Most labelsare very informative and will give you the overallheightand spread ofa tree at maturity. A little advance planning can prevent a great deal ofheartachelater. And rule number three will be to simply remind everyone to plant more than they can use, if at all possible, and give it away.

Of course, I couldn't subject my family or visiting triends to these requirements, so we lived with pots oflimpy geraniums over the years. More recently I said to myself that as I age I am supposed to lose some of my senseofsmell,soperhaps this was the time to try the geranium eggshell fertilizer. Therefore, I now have a container of crushed eggshells rotting in a covered container of water. They smell badly when exposed, but I'm the only one who must put up with it, so I am game to try it one season.

Hey you old-timers classes of 1944, 1945, and 1946, here's something fun to do on Saturday, Sept. 6, of this year. A reunion of La Grande High School students in those grades is in the makings and will be at the Island City Hall, noon until 8 o'clock.

Call 541-963-3838 and get the details. I'm planning to go iclass of'44l. Join me there in September.

By Lesley Clark WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed Friday to tighten sanctions against Russia's economy if it continues to provoke violence in eastern Ukraine and disrupts this month's Ukrainian presidential election. At a Rose Garden news conference, Obama said he and Merkelpreferred a diplomatic solution to the crisis but would "move quickly on additional steps" if the elections were impeded. "The next step is going to be a broader-based sectoral sanctions regime," Obama said with Merkel at his side. The administration had previously said it would impose wider penalties against Russia's economy if Moscow moved troops across the Ukraine border. But the presidentsaid a disrupted election in Ukraine would leave the U.S. and Europe with no choice "but to move forward with additional, more severe sanctions." Europe had backed a measured pace of sanctions, but Merkel said Friday that further steps would be "unavoidable" if the election didn't stabilize the crisis. "This is something that we don't want," she said through a translator."But we are firmly resolved to continue to travel down that road" ifRussia doesn'tagree to a diplomatic solution. Obama, who's come under criticism at home for not imposingmore severesanctions

''We do think that Mr. Putin and his leadership circle aretaking bad decisions and unnecessary decisions," Obama said. The U.S. and the European Union have already imposed two rounds of sanctions on Russian officials with close ties to Putin and on several Russian companies. Merkel, who's said to have a good relationship with Putin and had spoken with him earlier this week, wouldn't say what she'd gleaned &om the conversation. But she said Russia had failed to live up to an agreement to de-escalate the situation and thatitneeded to persuade pro-Russianseparatiststo releaseseven international observers who were being held hostage, including four Germans.
