Local hunters seek change to bear, cougar regulations The Baker chapter of the Oregon Hunters Association is urging the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission to cancel the current rule that prohibits some bear and cougar hunters from hunting during centerfire deer and elk seasons. The rule was enacted due to concerns about party hunting during the fall deer and elk seasons, but members of the Baker chapter say in a resolution they passed this year that the concern is unfounded.

Heavy rain on Sunday stripped most of the blossoms from flowering plum trees along Court Avenue between First and Second streets. A total of.30 of an inch of rain fell at the Baker City Airport, making Sunday the wettest day of the month. It was also the highest daily total since Dec. 20, 2013. That day's total of .41 of an inch came in the form of snow, however.

She said she's hoping at least half the registeredvotersparticipate. Voter turnout in the 2012 primary, which includedthe presidentialrace,was 46.5percent, and the non-presidential 2010 primary had a Baker County turnout of 46.3 percent. This year's primary has been one of the most contested, and expensive, in county history, in particular the contest between incumbent commission chairman Fred Warner Jr. and challenger Bill Harvey. Warner's campaign has spent $15,528.01 and Harvey's $10,528.48 this year, according to the latest campaign finance reports they've filed with the Oregon Elections Division.

The Baker City Budget Committee will kick off a series of meetings tonight to review the city's financial plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Along with the tonight's 6 o'clock session at City Hall, 1655 First St., budgetmeetings are slatedforTuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at the same time and place, if needed. The budget committee consists of the City Council and seven citizen members.

The city staff will present an overall, proposed budget of about

$19 million — including $5.9 in the general fund account, which includes the police and fire Langrell departments and city administration. At least one member of the council said Friday that he will be going into the sessions with one specific goal. "The employee costs are still out of line," Mayor Richard Langrell said.

"And even though last year the City Council's No. 1 goal was to reduce employee costs, the city manager has not followed the council's goals." Langrell said the budget committee must review the employee costs very carefully and, he hopes, make some tough decisions. sWe need to make some drastic employee changes. Get employee costs down, start cutting positions. For 20 years the budget board has been talking about doing this and the budget board has never done

one thing," Langrell sard. City Manager Mike Kee said he and the mayor have not conferred regarding employee costs. Kee "I have not had any discussion with him about personnel matters," Kee said. Kee said, however, that isn't a unique circumstance. See Budget/Page 6A

First NortheastOregon Gardening Symposium

By Chris Collins

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 19, 1964 The Powder River Sportsmen's club passed a resolution last night urging the reservoir above Mason Dam be named "The Phillips Reservoir" in memory of the late Fred Phillips Sr. The sportsmen decided to ask other organizations in Baker County to pass similar resolutions and then urge Congressman Al Ullman for assistance through Congress. The club members felt the reservoir should be named in memory of the "Father of Mason Dam" at the dedication ceremonies. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 19, 1989 An Amtrak train-truck collision Thursday morning south of Baker resulted in only minor injuries to the truck driver and no injuries to train passengers or crew members. Charles Otis Ross, 40, of 254511th St., was the driver of the garbage truck that was struck at10:18 a.m. on the railroad tracks at the Quartz crossing on Sutton Creek Road, about three miles south of Baker. The truck was a total loss in the accident. It was owned by Baker Sanitary Service. Oregon State Police said Ross was eastbound on Sutton Creek Road and had stopped at the railroad tracks. Visibility was blocked by a Union Pacific freight train parked on the siding. Ross pulled slowly onto the tracks and then saw an Amtrak train coming toward him. He accelerated sharply in an effort to get across the tracks ahead of the train, police said. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 19, 2004 Here's the good news: Roger Brooks loved Baker City. It's the marketing and tourist information that needs work. "You are not living up to what you really are in your marketing," said the Olympia-based consultant, whose Destination Development Inc. has helped develop tourism strategies for such successful projects as Whistler Village in British Columbia. Brooks said Baker City and County don't need to develop more attractions, and advised the region's tourism industry to"hang your hat on the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center." ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 24, 2013 Chet Smith figured he would be the eldest veteran on his Honor Flight trip. Nope. The veteran from Texas had him beat at107. "I thought I had it," he says. "I thought 102 was the oldest." He shook that man's hand while both took in the memorial built to honor veterans of World War II. Smith, who turned 102 on May 10, was one of 47 veterans from Oregon who took part in the Honor Flight trip May 15-18.

Fifty-two people of all ages left the beautiful weather outside to gather inside Baker High School Saturday for lessons on how to do a better job with theirgardens. The gardeners were participants in the first Northeast Oregon Garden Symposium. They learned about caring for their lawns, growing tomatoes and blueberries and preservingtheir harvestduring the day-long event. Other classesprovided instruction in organic gardening, container gardening, water features, hanging baskets, plant buying and organic grasses. The parti cipants traveled from as far away as Monument, Prairie City and Hermiston to learn from experts from the University of Oregon and University of Idaho along with professionals working in the field of horticulture in Oregon and Idaho. "I thought it was wonderful," said Janice Cowan, Baker County Extension agent, who coordinated the event with the help of 10 Master Gardener volunteers.

Majority of Oregon cities pass temporary bans on medical pot stores

PORTLAND — When John Anderson opened his medical marijuana dispensary, Herbalist Farmer, a little more than one year ago, he gave little thought to the history of its neighborhood, on the eastern edge of Oregon's largest city. Decadesearlier,ithad been part of an unincorporatedstretch ofland between Portland and Gresham. As both communities grew, the land between was divvied up and annexed into the two cities. Anderson's store had a Portland zip code. But it was technically within Gresham. "To say that the gentleman who owned this particular dispensary was surprised to learn he was in Gresham was an understatement," said David Ris, Gresham city attorney. Anderson's business was caught between two cities with wildly different rules governing dispensaries. Gresham has banned all dispensaries. Portland leaves the regulation of marijuana dispensariesup to the state. Eventually, Anderson moved

sue over the law. The city recently filed a lawsuit in Josephine County Circuit Court, arguing that the state law permitting dispensaries should be struck down becauseitviolatesfederal law. The lawsuit names the State of Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority as defendants. And a recent court ruling has cast new doubt over the legality of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. The City of Medford revoked the business license of a dispensary called Mary Jane's Basement, citing the sale of marijuana as a violation of federal law. The company sued the city but, last week, a Jackson County Circuit Court judge ruled in favor of the city, even going on to call the state marijuana program "unenforceable."An appeal is expected. O'Day said there are severalreasons that cities have their own interest in regulating marijuana dispensaries — zoning, stormwatertreatment related to fertilizer use and public nuisances such as smoke and grow lights, among others. See PotStoreslPage 6A

The Baker City Public Works Department will begin its annual fire hydrant testing and flushing today and the work will continue for two to three weeks. This testingis done annually to ensure all hydrants are functioning properly and are delivering water at the correct pressure and volume, Jennifer Murphy, of the city's Public W orks Department stated in apressrelease. During the testing and flushing process small silt-like particles might become"stirred up"in the lines. These are particles that have settled in less active water lines, Murphy said. Water might appear yellow or cloudy. To clear the water, residents are advised to run their faucets full force for five minutes. If the water still does not clear, call the Baker City Public Works Department at 541-524-2063.

The standards, which benchmark when students should acquire certain skills and knowledge, were developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers in an effort to make American students more competitive with students from other nations. Recently, however, many

states have debated delaying or even dropping the standards, with Indiana officially dropping Common Core afterearlier adopting the standards. In Oregon, the standards were adopted in 2010, and students will begin taking Smarter Balancedtestsin spring 2015. In a statement, the Oregon Education Association, which represents the state's teachers,called forthe testing to be delayed, noting not enough is known about the test' sability to m easure learning. Rob Saxton, the state's

deputy superintendent, rejectedthat request. "Something we keep being told is, if we do delay, then we're going to lose millions of dollars," OEA President Hanna Vaandering said in an interview. "But our focus is not on millions of dollars; it's on doing what's right for our students." Vaandering added that she questioned whether parents would support spending millions on a test thatthe state has projected 65 percent of students will fail.

"Teachers have absolutely not had enough time to prepare," Vaandering said. "Some districts have had professional development; some have not. We had 650 educatorscome together to talk about this issue, and we believed very strongly that we are not ready." Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Ron Wilkinson thinks his district is ready,

If you want your vote to count, you'll need to bring your ballot to the Courthouse, 1995 Third St. in Baker City, or slip the envelope into one of the county's other ballot drop boxes, by 8 p.m. The list: • County Clerk's oKce, Suite 150 in the Courthouse, open today until 5 p.m., and Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. • Drive-up drop box on the west side (Fourth Street) of the Courthouse, open 24 hours • Community Connection of Baker County Senior Center, 2810 Cedar St. in Baker City, open today until 5 p.m., and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. • Halfway City Hall, open today until 4 p.m., and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. • Huntington City Hall, open today until 4 p.m., and Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. • Richland City Hall, open today until 3 p.m., and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Baker City Herald's endorsements for Tuesday's primary: • Baker County Commission Chairman: Fred Warner Jr. • Baker County Commission Position 2: Mark Bennett The Herald has not endorsed a candidate in the three-person race for Baker County Clerk because it's likely that two of the three candidates — Marcy Osborn, Cindy Carpenter and Lara Petitclerc — will advance to November's general election. That will happen unless one of the three candidates gets more than 50 percent of the total votes cast Tuesday. Although this year's primary has been one of the most competitive — and expensive — local races in years, in particular the contest between incumbent Fred Warner Jr. and Bill Harvey for Baker County Commission chairman, voter turnout as of this morningwas just32.8 percent. We hope that percentage is substantially higher by the time the final ballot is tallied Tuesday night.

c ase e a r s a er: rownv. oar o FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.— At 90 years old and not traveling much, Jack Greenberg didn't make the NAACP's symposium here commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision. But the former head of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund still teaches at Columbia Law School and follows the nation's civil rights laws to the minutest detail. So he was familiar with the court's ruling in April upholding a Michigan constitutional amendment through which voters turned back affirmativeaction programs, and answered unhesitatingly when I called him at his home in New York. By their logic in the Michigan case, I asked, would the justices find slavery constitut ionalifvotersdecided to approve it? 'Yes," he said without missing a beat — then added, "well, maybe not slavery." What made me think I could lead this witness? One of three surviving members of arguablythe greatestlegalteam ever, Greenberg was hired by Thurgood Marshall to help draft and argue the landmark case that overturned legalized segregation on May 17, 1954. An unqualified legal victory, its legacy is also marked by foot-dragging and intransigence. "Nobody did anything they weren't forcedto do,"Greenberg said ofstates and school districts refusing to desegregate, resistance that he says had nothing to do with the court's vague timetable of achieving it"with all deliberate speed" and everything to do with racism. "They weren't going slowly. They just weren't doing anything," he said."So you tell them to do something, and thegl say no, they won't do it, and thegl litigate for three or four years, and then the whole educational system is turned inside out."

ELECTION Continued fmm Page1A Warner's campaign in particular accelerated its spending starting in late April and continuing through the first week of May.

"Seldomdo Igetfeedback from counselors about the proposedbudget.Soa lotof times I'm not sure what the issues are going to be," Kee sald. Kee said that atleastas far as he is concerned the city has addressed personnel costs. "I think we are doing a real decent job controlling labor costs," he said. Langrell isn't convinced. 'The employees' costs are just too high. It is not that the way the city is being run isgood orbad.Itiswecan't afford it anymore," Langrell sald.

From April 22 to May 8, Warner's campaign spent almost $7,100, mainly for media advertising and mass mailings. During that same period Harvey's campaign spent about $2,200, also primarily

for advertising. Both campaigns have pretty much exhausted their accounts. As of today Warner's campaign cash balance is

have far less labor, probably 10 less FTEs ifull time equivalents) than when I got here four years ago," he said. Kee said the proposed budget framed by the city staff is a jump-off point to trigger debate and in-depth discussion. "Not everybody agrees on everything. There are 14 people on the budget committee. The City Council and a like number of citizens. With 14 people, some have a passion forpublicsafety,some have a passion for parks," he said. Discussing and evaluating fiscal priorities is the whole point of the meetings, Kee sald. "They are good discussions and that is the way it should be. In the end, it is the council that decides," he said. Although the entire budget committeevoteson approving a budget, the seven councilors have the final say

when they adopt the spending plan in June. Kee said the city will be forcedto take on some debt this year because of the ongoing effort to install a permanent UV water treatment facility. Following last summer's outbreakofcryptosporidium, a waterborneparasitethat made several hundred local residents ill, the city installed a temporary UV treatment system thatstarted operating in March. "It is something you have to do," Kee said."That is something sometimes you have to do, we have to provide good, safe water," he sald. Another key issue with the general fund account will be a proposal to add another fireman/paramedic to the fire department. Kee said the proposed addition ofthe fireman is in the proposed

$430.68, and Harvey's is $35.09.

Ballots must be taken to Green's office in the Courthouse, 1995 Third St., or placed in an official drop box, by 8 p.m. on Tuesday to be counted. Green said she hopestoreceive atleast1,000 ballots today and Tuesday.

Continued from Page 3A ''We try to do that whenever we share data, telling people what the limitations are around it. Oregon adopted Common Core four years ago, and the real key to the assessments is that they are aligned to the standards we now have. Four years into having the standards, it'stim e tohave the assessment aligned to those standards so we can see how we are doing." Nonetheless, Wilkinson emphasized that the implementation of Smarter Balanced assessments will be a learning process, and ideally the state would be able to continue using Oregon's current standardizedtestsoitcould better understand Smarter Balanced results. However, Wilkinson noted, the state doesn't have the money for such an option. Bob Perry, a Redmond schoolboard member, is vehemently opposed to Common Core, leading presentations acrossthe region on what he sees as thepitfallsofthe standards and assessments. Perry doesn't want the state to delay the test, but rather abandon the test and the standards to which it is tied. ''What I think is interestingis now I find myself, as a school board member and as someone politically involved, on the same side as the teachers union, which is pretty unusual," Perry said."But what the heck, at least it's an opportunity to get a slowdown and call time out." Perry objects to what he describes as federal intrusion into state education

Langrell said the addition of aslotatthefi re department makes sense. "The priorities in our town are changing. There is a lot of elderlypeople.The ambulance service is becoming more and more of a required element of the community," Langrell said. Langrell said, however, that he is troubled by the fact thatthe proposed addition of a fireman in the fire department is not linked to a corresponding decrease somewhere else in the budget.

''We told him iKeel we wanted to add a fireman but he hasn't reduced the budget," Langrellsaid.

saries would be allowed eventually, so the city added the requirement during a regular enforcement and code review process. The city of Tualatin, on the other hand, is taking a"wait and see" approach to regulating dispensaries, said City Manager Sherilyn Lombos. Tualatin's city council has passed a temporary moratorium and is looking into amending its zoning laws to prohibit dispensaries beyond next year, Lombos said. Earlier this year, the council consideredadopting abusiness license requirement similar to Gresham's, mandating compliance with state and federal laws.

systems, pointing out how the federal government has linked major federal grantsto adoption ofthe standards. Additionally, Perrycriticizesthecostof implementation, the lack of public input into the adoption and the unproven effecti veness ofthe standards and assessments. 'The education community is almost being forced to teachto thetest,and that doesn't work for every kid," Perry said."There are so many differences not compensated for when trying to teach one thing to a diverse group oflearners. Itrobscreativity from kids and teachers." Perry said he does supportincreasing the rigor of Oregon's standards, but thathe doesn'tbelieve Common Core is the best way to do that. "Massachusetts had tougher standards. Oregon could have gone there and learned trom them," Perry said."Asa federation,each state is a lab for good ideas. Massachusetts had the best students; why did we need to go with a national thing?" The president of BendLa Pine's teachers union, Bob Markland, takes a more cautious approach, sympathizing with the desire to slow things down without calling for the state to abandon assessments tied to Common Core. ''We'renotopposed tothe Smarter Balanced testing idea, but I think we share the same concerns as OEA," Markland said."How effective is this going to be? How long will it take until we know how effective it is? Everybody's a little in the dark about what it will look like and mean."

44nost-seasonhones By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercttyherald.com

Baker's hopes for a Class 4A post-seasonsoftballberth ended Friday when the Bulldogs lost 11-2 and 20-0 to La Grande in a Greater Oregon League doubleheader at the Baker Sports Complex. The losses left Baker with a 3-9 GOL record, fourth placein theleague standings. In Friday's first game, La Grande built a 6-0 cushion before Baker scored. The Bulldogs finally got on the board in the fifth inning on an RBI fielder's choice by Sally Mary Blair. Baker's other run came in the sixth on a run-scoring triple by Dani McCauley. In Game 2, Baker managed just four hits and never threatened.

Meanwhile, La Grande hammered 17 hits, including three home runs. Morgan Plumbtree took the loss in the pitching circle in both games. Baker closes out its season Thursday by hosting Pendleton in a single nonleague game at 4 p.m. The game was originally scheduled for today but was changed at Pendleton's request.

Califomia Chrome wins; Triple try next By Beth Harris AP Racing VVF(ter

BALTIMORE — It gets even harder from here on out for California Chrome. He won easily in his home stateofCalifornia,hedazzled in the Kentucky Derby and he dug deep to win the Preakness on Saturday. Now comes the toughest test of all, the Belmont Stakes in three weeks.

The chestnut colt with four white feet will attempt to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont, something that hasn't been done since Aftrmed in 1978. Since then, 12 horses have won the first two legs and failedto complete the sweep in the 11/2-mile Belmont; the last was I'll Have Another, who was scratched on the eve of the Belmont two years

ago.

Storm loses WNBA opener SEATTLE (AP) — For a time, Candace Parker didn't know if the Los Angeles Sparks would even be around for the 2014WNBA season. They still are, and so is she. Parker scored 18 points, Alana Beard added17, and the Sparks, whose future was uncertain after the previous owners suddenly relinquished the franchise in January, opened the season with an 80-69 victory over the Seattle Storm on Friday night. Jenna O'Hea led the Storm with 12 points. Sue Bird, after missing the entire 2013 season, had seven points and four assists.

Baker entered Friday's Greater Oregon League baseball doubleheader with La Grande knowing it needed at leasta splittogain a shareof the league title. Senior Mason Cline helped make sure the Bulldogs would do even better. Cline sluggeda pairofgrand slam home runs and drove in 10 runs as the Bulldogs swept La Grande 12-7 and 10-3 to win the GOL crown at the Baker Sports Complex. "Itold thekidsbeforethe first game that we had to win that game to reach our goal," said Baker coach Tim Smith. 'That game could have gone either way. Up until Mason hit his first grand slam it was back and forth. eWe were really resilient coming back," Smith said. eWe tried to focus on winning every inning. We played to win it, not to avoid losing it." In Game 1, Baker trailed 5-3 entering the bottom of the third inning. Then Chace Dixon's tworun double and a La Grande error helped Baker score four timestotake a 7-5lead. La Grande cut the deficit to 7-6 in the top of the fourth before Cline's grand slam to right-center field gave Baker its winning margin. Caleb Custer threw his

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Stories sit

like glass jars waiting to be Filled Every once in a while words come to me that appear to be the beginnings of a fiction novel if I would put my mind to it,so Iputthem to paper. When the initial thoughts have run out and I turn away to something else, they sitlike rows ofglass Kerror Mason quart jars waiting to be filled with fruit to sustain me over the long winters of my older lifetime. One such fruit jar I labeled "He Couldn't Know." I didn't know, either, when the words came,that itwastobe aboutthe little houses that used to be outside so many years ago that we called "outhouses" because regular bathrooms hardly existed. This is how it went: "Oh, Grandma!" the little boy in my imagination said with a hint of disapproval in his voice. I drew him to my side with my arm about him, seated as I was in an easy chair and he standing beside me with the makings of a scowl upon his face. My imagination doesn't remember what we may have been discussing to make him regard me as an oldfashioned fuddy-duddy, but I knew it was there. aDo I seem old-fashioned to you?" I asked as I drew him closer so that we could talk better. He nodded. "I'm sure that's true, dear, but I lived in an old-fashioned time when everyone now old would seem old-fashioned to you. You see, we didn't have everything like you do and we had to get along without so many things that you can't imagine. Why, do you know that we even had to go outside to use the bathroom?" "Outside?" he cried unbelievingly. ''Why didn't you use your own bathroom?" he asked, pointing a scolding fi ngerdown the hallway where my bathroom was fitted out with the necessary appliances and some niceties, too.

By Karen Kain Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning. It is produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and a fungus called Aspergillus oryzae, in Japanese it is known as Kojikin, sometimes rice and barley is used. This results in a thick paste that is used for sauces, spreads,picklingvegetablesor m eats and soupstock.Misoisa greatsource of protein, Vitamin K, B12, riboflavin, minerals; it is high in amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. Miso is typically salty but the flavor is deepened with the combinations of foods it is cooked with. People were fed miso after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A Japanese doctor Shinichiro Akizuki, director of St. Francis Hospital during World War II, stated that it helped to fight radiation sickness. Miso is also known for its great source of Lactobacillus acidophilus, caused by fermentation, which is effective in preventing high blood pressure. Until recently I had never used Miso in cooking and was curious to try it. Both of these recipes are easy and healthy.

Agricultural ShortcomingsRepuire QuicKThinKing InTheNitchen

ar enin s By Russ Parsons MCT

One thing I've learned for certainsinceIputvegetable beds in our front yard is that, as agardener,I'm a pretty

good cook. My agricultural shortcomings are not something I'm proud of.Istartevery growing season with the best of intentions, laying out w ell-ordered plotsthatseem almost guaranteed to turn into things of beauty. But then life intervenes, weeks pass and somehow the whole operation has gotten away from me. What starts with fantasies of my photo in Sunset magazine winds up with a reality that warrants my picture in the post office — with the warning Wanted: For plant murder." The most recent example: This winter, I planted fava beans because they're the one vegetableI've been able to grow reliably ieven I can't kill a faval. But because the favas take a long time to mature, I thought I'd over-sow

•000

some radishes — they pop up so quickly that they'd be long harvested by the time the favas came on. Smart idea, right? Well, fast-f orward a couple of months and somehow a few ofthose radishes never did

get picked 4ey, I was busy). They had bolted and now were sending up head-high shoots of flowers from somewhere hidden deep in the fava jungle. Time to go in and rip them all out. But when I went to do that, I noticed that some of the branches were full of these tiny needle-shaped

pods: radish seed pods. I pickedone and tasted it.It was crisp and practically poppedinmy mouth. Think of aradish's sweettastebut with only a trace of the heat. It was kind oflike a cross between a radish and a sugar snap pea. I started getting ideas. I was bringing a salad to a fiiend's potluck that evening — a simple thing, mixed lettuces and quartered hardboiled eggs — so I tossed in

o esn't iveu tocoo n t a handful of pods along with some of the radish flowers and blooms from other plants that had bolted. The salad was delicious — and far prettier than my garden could ever hope to be. Ididgetsome ofthose favabeans too,and after much shucking and peeling, simmered them briefly with garlic and mint and then served them with burrata as another salad. That, too, was good. The beans were tender and full of that sweet, flashof-green spring flavor for which we love favas so much. But thenmy gardening ability reared its ugly head once again. When I tried to make something similar a couple of weekslater,the favas I picked had quite clearly beenignoredfor toolong. They were so full of starch my lovely light simmer had turned into a thick, stodgy porTldge. Ittasted good,butthe texture was pasty and floury. And Ihad only a half-hour before guests arrived. Des-

Some day, I knew, he would repeatmy storiesto his young ones and tie our generationstogether with arope oflove and understanding ... And, that's where I left the unfinished story. Without meaning to be imprudent, I've wondered since then if the subject might be one that

deserves some explanation to the young who have never had any inkling of the way we lived at that time. It was nothing to be ashamed of for it was a necessity for which there was no other choice at the time, but should be part of the information deserving of understanding by a generation who has no idea of their own conveniences. And, here, too, I drop the subject for the moment. Another empty jar waiting forthefruitofknowledge to fill it.

To put lt another way, you are never willing to remain passive when action ls called for. You are no victim, and you will always do what you can to improve yourself and yourcircumstances.There are times, certainly, when your thoughts and actions may not be the most popular, but even when you are doing things that are controversial, you are sure to win the admiration of those who already hold you ln high esteem-- and there are many! Youhavewhat lt takes to be a hero to a lot ofpeople.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The devastating wildfires scorching Southern California offer a glimpse of a warmer and more fiery future, according to sci entistsand federaland international reports. In the past three months, at least three diferent studies and reports have warned that wildfires are getting bigger, that man-made climate change is to blame, and it's only going to get worse with m ore res fi starting earlier in the year. While scientists arereluctant to blame global warming for any specific fire, they have been warning for years about how it will lead to more fires and earlier fire seasons. "The fires in California and here in Arizona are a clear example of what happens as the Earth warms, particularly as the West warms, and the warming caused by humans is making fire season longer and longer with each decade," said University of Arizona geoscientist Jonathan Overpeck."It's certainly an example of what we'll see more of in the future." Since 1984,the area burned by the West's largest wildfires — those of more than 1,000 acres — have increased by about 87,700 acres a year, according to an April study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. And the areas where fire has been increasing the most are areas where drought has been worsening and "that certainly points to climate being a major

contributor," study main author Philip Dennison of the University of Utah said Friday. The top five years with the most acres burned have all happened in the last decade, accordingto federalrecords. From 2010-2013, about 6.4 million acres a year burned on average; in the 1980s it was 2.9 million acres a year. ''We are going to see increasedfi re activity allacross the West as the climate warms," Dennison said. That was one of a dozen ''key messages" in the 841-page National Climate Assessment released by the federalgovernment earlier this month. It mentioned wildfires 200 times.
