• Most of the Baker County bridges listed in report carry fewer than 75 cars per day

Methodist

Vacation Bible School postponed

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

A report compiled by a national group found that 11 of 187 bridges in Baker County are "structurally deficient," although none is deemed unsafe. The report was released last week by Transportation for America, which calls for the government to spend more for transportationprojects. The dataare from bridge inspection reports collected by the Federal Highway Administration. Baker County Roadmaster Jeff Smith said he recei ves a sim ilarreporteach yearfrom the Oregon Department of Transportation, which inspects all bridges in the state. Smith points out that"structurally deficient" does not mean a bridge is dangerous. In fact, he said that if state inspectors find an imminent problem with a bridge they will immediately alert local officials. Typically an interim step in such a case is to set a weight limit for the bridge, Smith said.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Baker United Methodist Church Vacation Bible School planned this week has been postponed. The new schedule will be announced later.

Forest health workshop set for 3une 17 Forest owners and others interested in learning about common insects and diseases that can harm trees are invited to a free workshop on Wednesday, June 17.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 15, 1965 A resolution prohibiting diagonal parking on five downtown streets was passed by the city council in a regular session last night. The resolution goes into effect as soon as the streets can be marked properly. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 15, 1990 The Miners Jubilee Committe is gearing up for Baker City's annual celebration and is urging residents to do the same. The 1990 Miners Jubilee buttons for the July 20-22 celebration are being distributed to service clubs and businesses. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 15, 2005 Baker City's north freeway interchange, Exit 302, only superficially resembles those dizzying concrete cloverleafs common in Southern California. But Oregon Department ofTransportation (ODOT) officials say too many roads converage near the 302 interchange. That's not a problem now because traffic is relatively light, said Patrick Knight, who works at ODOT's regional office in La Grande. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 16, 2014 A proposed expansion of the Leo Adler Memorial Parkway secured a big boost in the wake of the Baker City Budget Committee hearings last month after officials set aside money to try to buy property near Wade Williams Elks Memorial Park. The budget committee added $36,000 to the 2014-15 budget to buy the property. City Manager Mike Kee said the long-term plan for the property is to transform it into a trailhead for the Adler Parkway, a paved pedestrian and bicycle route that starts at the north edge of the city at Hughes Lane and follows the Powder River south to its current terminus at Bridge Street.

WVdenhackstaxhreaksforhreINers ByAbby Spegman VVesCom News Serwce

Calling Oregon's brewing industry an"economic multiplier," U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden held a roundtable Sunday to promote legislation that would cut taxes and ease regulations. The Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act was introduced last week with the backing of trade groups. In Oregon, craftbrewers,vintners, cider makers and distillers areresponsibleforabout

40,000 jobs and $6 billion in annual revenue, according to W yden's offi ce. "It's a big economic multiplier for our state," said

Wyden, noting the industries touch tourism, hospitality, trucking and agriculture. "The point of the legislation is to uncork more growth in an Oregon industry that has consistently shown it can create jobs and revenue in our state ... I thinkit's ajobs bill beyond anything else." Wyden's legislation would cutthefederalexcisetax rate

in halfto $3.50 perbarrelon the fi rst60,000barrelsfor domesticbrewers producing fewer than 2 million barrels annually. It would expand tax credits for domestic wineries and reduce restrictions on alcohol and carbonation content for cider makers.

BRIDGES OSP gets false alarm call /rorn Page1A about NY prison escapees Continued Only two of the Baker PENDLETON iAPl — Oregon State Police troopers in Eastern Oregon were pulled briefly into the national search for two escapees from an upstate New York prison, but it quickly became clear the men they stopped on Interstate 84 Thursday had nothing to do with the fugitives. According to OSP Sgt. Sterling Hall, an anonymous caller dialed a New York tip line after spotting a white rental van near La Grande with New York plates and passengers they said resembled David Sweat and Richard Matt. Sweat and Matt have been on the run for a week after tunneling out of Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York. Troopers pulled the suspectedvehicleoverin the westbound lane west of Pendleton and"very quickly" realizedthey did notmatch the description aftergetting them out of the vehicle at gunpoint, according to Hall. He called it a high risk stop because of the nature ofthecalland said themen were cooperative.

NevadarancherClivenSundvdenies firing gunatSEM-hiredresearchers By Martin Griffith Associated Press

Nevada rancher and states'rights advocate Cliven Bundy said Saturday thatcontractresearchers forthe federalBureau ofLand Management had no business being on rangeland where he grazes cattle, but he denied he or his supporters fired gunshots near them. Three employees of a nonprofit Nevada organization told authorities they were monitoring water sources in the Gold Butte area, about 100 miles northeast of Las Vegas, on June 5 when they were approached by two men who asked what they were doing. The researchers quickly left after six shots were fired later that night near their camp in an area that's being consideredforfederalprotection as a national conservation area. There were no injuries. Las Vegaspolice are investigating the incident. Bureau of Land Management officials have declined comment beyond a statement saying the shooting prompted them to take unspecified safety precautions in the area to protectis em ployees and contractors. The incident follows a tense standofF in April 2014 between Bundy and the bureau after a federal judge authorizedthe agency toremove hiscattle from public land. Bundy, who does not recognize the authority of the federal government,stopped paying grazing fees over 20 years ago and owes more

than $1 million.

"It doesn't matter whether they're contractors or BLM foficials, either way they're trespassing on my rightS. We're nOtgOing toPut

up with this." — Cliven Bundy, Nevada rancher

The confrontation pitted federal officers against heavily armed states' rights advocates who had converged on the Bundy ranch to halt the roundup ofhis cattle. The Bureau of Land Management backed off, citing safety concerns. It allowed Bundy supporters to release380 cattlefrom pens that had been collected. Bundy said he and his son, Ryan, were checking a water source when they met the three employees on a remote dirt road June 5, but he did not learn about the shooting and that they were researchers until reading a newspaper story nearly a week later. "I asked them what they were doing, and they said they were looking for an area tosetup camp. We justgreeted them and welcomed them," Bundy said Thinking they were campers, the Bundys returned to their ranch about 12 miles away near Bunkerville and did not notify any supporters of their encounter with the three, he said. "That's the last we heard of them until we read about it in the newspaper," Bundy told The Associated Press.

"None of my friends or supporters would have known about it...No,we didn't fire those shots. We didn't go back to the area." Bundy said he visited the area with a Las Vegas police sergeant on Friday, and found no evidence corroborating researchers' statements to authorities that someone in a vehicle drove up and fired three shots on two separate occasions about an hour apart. The shots were red fi &om roughly a third ofa mile away from their camp. Bundy said he became upset after learning the researchers were monitoring water seeps and springs in the area. "Those things are my private property, and I don't want anyone monkeying with my property," he said. "It doesn't matter whether they're contractors or BLM officials, either way they're trespassing on my rights. We're not going to put up with this." While Bundy insisted the land in question is owned by the state, federal courts have consistently ruled it's under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Jerry Keir, executive director of the Great Basin Institute, said it's "total speculation" whether the shots were meant to intimidate his researchers. The incident cut short their work as the Bureau of Land Management told them not to return to the area, he

added.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Oregon is on notice. If it continues to see large numbers of students opt out of the Smarter Balanced achievement tests, it faces sanctions — the loss of millions of education dollars — from the federal government. It's a threat teachers, parents, students and lawmakers should take seriously. This is the first year Oregon students have taken the Smarter Balanced exams, and in the Portland area opt-outs have reached 50 percent in some schools. In Bend-La Pine Schools they're less than 1 percent. Dissatisfaction stems in large part from a nationwide efFort to sabotage Common Core, and persuading large numbers of families to opt out of the exams has been part of that efFort. Yet Common Core and its Smarter Balanced exams have plenty to ofFer, including a more demanding curriculum and the ability to measure from one state to the next just how well youngsters are really doing in school. State Rep. Lew Frederick, D-Portland, has been leading the fight against Smarter Balanced in the state Legislature. He's joined in that battle by Deschutes County's own Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend, who is the chief Senate sponsor of Frederick's House Bill 2566. The two men should know better. The bill, which passed the House by a substantial margin and is poised to sail through the Senate, as well, would require school districts to tell parents twice yearly that their students may refuse to take thestandardizedexams. That may make a public statement, but it may not be the one parents think it is. Frederick pooh-poohs the recent warning from the U.S. Department of Education to Rob Saxton, Oregon's state schools chief. He dismisses the notion that the federal department will issue any meaningful financial sanctions against Oregon if students continue to avoid the exams. That's a gamble Oregonians should refuse to take.

The most likely loss would be of $140 million of Title 1 funds, money aimed at schools with the greatest percentage of poor kids. In a state where nearly 22 percent of youngsters live in poverty and schools have yet to recover fully from recession-driven stafF and program cuts, that's money we cannot afFord to lose. Iflawmakers cannot recognize that, Gov. Kate Brown must veto the bill.

ee rahn f On June 15 we Americans, along with our English cousins, will celebrate the day 800 years ago when English barons, on the fields of Runnymede, first brought the arbitrary reign of a king under the rule oflaw through a written document,Magna Carta. Yet in many ways today, as we prepare to celebrate next month our own overthrowofan English king,wefind ourselves back at Runnymede, petitioning our government for relief from its arbitrary rule. The story of this triumph and turn in the history ofliberty is worth retelling. It begins before Magna Carta, with the creation of the common law in the third quarter of the 12th century in the reign of Henry II. Crafted by judges deciding disputes brought by private individuals, English common law arose after Henry established circuit courts and a centralappealscourtthatovertim e made the law "common" to the realm. It was alaw ofrights,derived from reason and custom, aimed largely at ordering liberty, property and contracts. King John's abuse of those rights led in 1215 to Magna Carta — positive "constitutional" law created by a political act. English liberty thereafter grew unevenly, of course. Nevertheless, the document's reach expanded over time. And after its eclipse during the Tudors' reign, Sir Edward Coke, the great 17thcentury English jurist and parliamentarian, brought it once more to the fore in his struggles with the Stuarts. And well it was that he did, because it was a fortunate accident ofhistory that English settlements began just then in America. Not surprising, those settlers brought their rights as Englishmen with them, as evidenced from Virginia's 1606charterallthe way to Georgia's of 1732. Nor did developments back in England over this period go unnoticed abroad — the 1628 Petition of Right, the 1679 Habeas Corpus Act, the 1689 Bill of Rights after the Glorious Revolution, each of which drew upon the Great Charter and continued to inspire the

ROGER PILON colonists. That regardfor Magna Carta was especially strong as relations with England deteriorated as the 18th century wore on. In fact, as late as 1774, when the Continental Congress met to draft remonstrations, thedelegatesrested their case mainly on their "ancient rights" as Englishmen. But that would end. Their repeated petitions having gone unanswered save by fleets of armies and the blood of Lexington, those who signed the DeclarationofIndependence appealed not to the king or Parliament but to "a candid world," justifying independence in the name not of our ancient rights but of the universal rights of all mankind. We dissolved the political bands that connected us to England and instituted new government — "by the authority of the good people ofthesecolonies." And where did we get that authority? From no one, save "our Creator." We were born with it — born free, with natural, unalienable rights to rule ourselves. Thus the Declaration became America's Magna Carta. Drawing, ironically, on the writings of an Englishman, John Locke, whose ideas suffused political thought in 18thcentury America, we invoked a"state of nature," absent government, to explain the foundations of political legitimacy. We declared liberty our natural condition and government by consent the legitimate means for securing it, but only if constitutionally limited, leaving us otherwise free to pursue happiness as we wished. And when we reconstituted ourselves 11 years later we returned to those principles, making it clear from the start that sovereignty rests with"we the people," who constitute and empower government —by right.Government doesn't give usourrights.W e givegovernment its powers, as enumerated in

the Constitution we ratify. And therein lies the fundamental difference between England's and our political systems. The Glorious Revolutionnever resulted in so basica break with the past, and in reconstituting the polity from the ground up, beginning with the moral order, from which the political and legal orders would be derived. Thus the doctrine of delegated, enumerated, and limited powers is, properly speaking, our bill of rights. As Alexander Hamilton wrote, 'The Constitution is itself ,in every rational sense and to everyusefulpurpose,a billofrights." Let's remember, the actual Bill of Rights was not ratified until four years after the Constitution was written. Today, of course, the elegant theory of legitimacy the Founders and Framers gave us has been largely abandoned. New DealProgressives effectively rewrote the Constitution 150 years after the original writing. As a result, our constitutional presumption — "all that is notgiven isreserved" — now reads "all thatisnotreserved isgiven."We're back in the fields of Runnymede, importuning our government for relief from its assumption of plenary power. And it isn't only untethered executive power — arbitrary rule by the executive state — that oppresses us, but executive rule arising from congressional will — often reflecting the dynamics of special-interest politics. Exhibit A before the Supreme Court at the moment, echoing medievalism itself, is a California farmer's challenge to a New Deal marketing scheme that allows the government to take 47 percent of his raisin crop — without compensation. Not even King John would have gone that far. As we celebrate Magna Carta and our own independence, let's think about reclaiming our ancient liberties. Roger Pilon is vice president for legal affairs at the Cato Institute arddirector of Cato's Center for Constitutiorud Studies. He wrote this for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

NBA FINALS

Stephen Curry came off a screen, dribbled behind his back and crossed over Matthew Dellavedova. He stepped back and swished a 3-pointer, then pounded his chestand pointed to the roof, seemingly controlling the sellout crowd of19,596 on his fingertips. One more win and the MVP will really have a moment to celebrate. Curry made seven 3-pointers and scored 37 points, and the Warriors withstood anotherbrilliantperformance from LeBron James to outlast the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-91 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. "It was a fun moment, but it will only mean something — and I'll probably have a betteranswer forthat question after we win that championship — but signature moments only come for players who are holding the trophy," said Curry, who also had seven rebounds and four assists before being treated for dehydration. Curry was spotted rubbing his head and leaning over

in a hallway after the game. The Warriors said Curry was receiving fluids in the locker room, watching highlights and should be fine. With a sellout crowd rocking and roaring in their golden-yellow shirts, Curry and his teammates took controlofthe game — and possibly the series — in the final minutes. Curry connected inside and out — sometimes way out — to help the Warriors pull away and get in a position they haven't been in 40 years. The Warriors will try to win their first title since 1975 on Tuesday night in Cleveland, which hasn't won a major sports championship in 51 years. Game 7, if necessary, would be in Oakland on Friday night. "I feel confident because I'm the best player in the

ie world," said James, who has carried Cleveland as much as he could. The four-time MVP had 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, slowing down the pace the way only he can. He made 15 of 34 shots in 44 minutes. It was James' second triple-double ofthisseries.But the depleted Cavs, without injured starters Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, tired again late with a rotation that has gonejustseven oreightdeep. "He has the ball in his hands a lot. Stick with the program. Don't get discouraged ifhe makes shots. He's going to," Curry said of James."Over the course of 48 minutes, we hope we wear him down to make it very tough on him." Draymond Green had 16 points and nine rebounds, Andre Iguodala added 14 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and reserve Leandro Barbosa scored 13 points forthe deep and talentedWarriors. Tristan Thompson tallied 19 points and 10 rebounds, and J.R. Smith scored all 14 ofhis points in the first half for Cleveland.

StanleyCupFinals

Blackhawksone winaway By Greg Beacham

AP Hockeym/nter

TAMPA, Fla.— The Chicago Blackhawks had barely filed up the tunnel to the visitors' dressing room after another narrow victory in the Stanley Cup Final when their thoughts turned to home. With another tenacious road victory in this impossibly close series, the Blackhawks realized they had just earned an opportunity to raise that silver trophy in front of their Chicago faithful tonight. ''We try not to think too far ahead," Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said."But obviously you're just human." Antoine Vermette scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the Blackhawks moved to the brink of their third NHL championship in six years with a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 onSaturday night. Corey Crawford made 31 saves and Patrick Sharp scored an early goal into an accidentally unguarded net

for the Blackhawks, who took a 3-2 series lead by surviving another night teetering on the smallest margins and mistakes. Ben Bishop stopped27 shotsafterm issing Game 4 with an undisclosed injury, but the goalie's ill-advised venture outside thecreaseled to Sharp'sgoal. The first five games all have been decided by one goalforjustthesecond time in Stanley Cup Final history, and the first time in 64 years. ''We're going to carry this momentum," Crawford said. ''We're pretty excited about this right now, and (we want to) carry this over to the next game. We don't want to get ahead of us, but it's going to be real exciting going home." Game 6 is tonight in Chicago, and seven remaining members of the Blackhawks' two-time champion core will have the chance to skate the Stanley Cup around the United Center for the first time. They won their other two Cups on the road. Chicago as a franchise hasn't won a Cup on home ice since

Chicago coachJoel Quenneville said."I'm sure it'll be crazy in town over the next two days. I'm sure the buzz will be off the charts. Looking forward to it." The Lightning must win two straight to claim the second Stanley Cup title in franchise history, and they don't appear to be intimidated by the task despite another frustrating night against Chicago.

EUGENE — It was a Duck feast at home at the NCAA track and field championships. Jenna Prandini won the 100 meters and finished second to Kentucky's Dezerea Bryant in an exceedingly fast 200 on Saturday, leading the Oregon women to their first team championship in 30 years. A day earlier, under the new meet format, the Oregon men cruised to their second straight team title, making it the first time the Ducks men and women have won the championship the same year. They did it on their home track, in the second of an eight-year contract to host the championships at Hayward Field. aWe saw them go out

there and win. We saw how pumped up they were," Prandini said.aWe didn't want the men to outshine us, so we got on the track and did our thing." Coach Robert Johnson called his team's double triumph"awesome." 'You can't put it into words how we're feeling on the inside,"' he said.aWe putinalotofworktogetto this point. For us to be able to achieveithere in frontof our Hayward Field faithful — outstanding." Texas A&M is the last school to win the men's and women's title in the same meet, accomplishing it in consecutive years &om 2009 to 2011. Freshman Raevyn Rogers gave Oregon an unexpected boost when she pulled away to win the 800.

Baker's Gentry Ford Diamondbacks placed sixth at a baseball tournament that ended Sunday at Vallivue High School in Caldwell, Idaho. Gentry lost 6-3 to La Grande in the game for fikh and sixth place Sunday. Friday, the Diamondbacks lost 11-3 to Centennial and 6-1 to Vallivue. Saturday, Gentry lost 8-0 to Kuna beforedefeating Pocatello7-3. Against La Grande, the teams were tied 3-3 entering the top of the seventh. Gentry starter Trevor Bennett had to end his stay on the mound due to inning restrictions, and La Grande took advantageoftw oGentry relievers. "Trevor threw real well," said Gentry coach Tim Smith. "But then we had to make a pitching change becaue he could only pitch 12 innings in a week." Against Centennial, five Gentry errorsspelled the difference. "I thought Trevor Bennett threw the ball pretty well," said Smith. "Then we had some errors. We just

Errors — six of them — also were Gentry's downfall against Vallivue. aVallivue was probably the best team here," Smith said. "I thought we played a really good ballgame except forthe errors." Mason Dowdy had two hits for the Diamondbacks. Against Kuna on Saturday, Gentry had just two hits and committed five errors. aWe didn't play well at all," Smith sald. "It was not a pretty game." Gentry batters struck out nine times. Then, as badly as Gentry played Saturday morning, the Diamondbacks played their best game of the tourney Saturday afternoon. "The kids played lights out. They played great; made things happen," Smith said. Smith said six of Pocatello's starters were among the top players in Idaho

The match had been hyped beforehand as the showdown between the second-ranked United States and former coach Pia Sundhage, now coach of No. 5 Sweden. It did not disap-

point in the furious second

half. Abby Wambach came off the bench, but her header in the 72nd minute was popped up and over the crossbar by Swedish goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl. A win would have assured the United States a spot in the knockout round as the Americans seek their third World Cup title, but first since 1999. The U.S. women advanced to the final four yearsago in Germany, but lost to Japan on penalty kicks. The United States has one

more group stage match, on Tuesday in Vancouver, British Columbia, against Nigeria. Sweden heads to Edmonton, Alberta, for its final group match with Australia. The monthlong tournament, with an expanded fi eld of24 teams, is being played in six Canadian cities. The U.S. leads the Group D standings with four points following a 3-1 victory over No. 10 Australia in the opener. Sweden was surprised in its opener by No. 33 Nigeria, which erased a 2-0 halNme deficit for a 3-all tie.

The Babe Comes To Baker City

This graphic design, taken from an original photo of Babe Ruth, was projected onto the wall at Lefty's Taphouse in Baker City to serve as a template for the artists who painted a reproduction of the image.

.. «O~ Kathy OrrI Baker City Herald

Graphic designer Steve Marlatt, who works for Oregon Sign Co. in Baker City, paints a mural from a historical photo of Babe Ruth on the back wall of Lefty'sTaphouse. Marlatt, who runs the sign shop at Boise State University, completed the mural with the help of his employees from BSU, Chris Oldfield and Pete Kutchenis, along with Christina Witham, owner of Oregon Sign Co., and her employee, Baker High School studentVanessa Fregoso.

Eastern Oregon are individualists, typically proud to serve in the military. They are typically not doing it for money and once they get intothe professional ranks of the non-commissioned officer corps they are doing it because they like the unit and they want to serve." Sheehy also pointed out an interesting fact about the region's largest Guard unit. During its 30-year history, it produced three Eastern Oregon natives who became generals and at least five individuals from the region that retired as Colonels. All of those men began and establishedtheir careersin the battalion and severalofthose officers began their military service as enlisted men and m oved their way up the ranks. The unit also deployed twice to Iraq during the war on terrorand performed well in combat. The fact the unit produced so many successful leaderscan traceitsorigins back to the battalion's character, Sheehy said. "That is a testament to the organization," Sheehy said. Another tribute to the unit's competence arrived shortly after it returned Irom its second tour of duty in Iraq when the unit was issued the U.S. Arm's newest, high-tech tank, the M1A2 System Enhanced Program iSEPl Abrams tank. It was one of the only Guard units in the nation to be issued the new tank. Master Sgt. Daniel Ishaug, a La Grande resident and the Abrams tank master gunner

The unit is also an organizationthat carries a deeprootedheritage tied toU.S. Cavalry history. Now a modern Cavalry unit — that employs tanks and armoredBradlyfighting vehicles — the 3rd Battalion'sstoried pasttracesback to pioneer days when small bands of mounted warriors protectedwagon trains.

Cole, a La Grande resident, first entered the battalion as an enlisted man and eventually climbed through the ranks to command the unit before he retired Irom the Oregon National Guard. Cole said Guardsmen in the battalion dealwith tw odrastically opposed paradigms every month. For most of the month they are civilians, working regular jobs. Then, one weekend a month, they must shift focus. 'You know, you are at work on Friday at 10 a.m. and by Friday night at 10 p.m. you are on your tank drawing equipment. Your brain has to shift gear.

A stirring ceremony, Bnd reUnlons

with hiends Yesterday was Flag Day and last Friday was Daughters of the American Revolution iDARl meeting day, so the Memorial Day service held Monday, May 25, at Grandview Cemetery in La Grande is still fresh in my mind. The DAR Lone Pine Tree Chapter of La Grande/Baker City and the American Legion Post 43 sponsored the flyover of an F-15 piloted by Lt. Colonel "Coma" Ebner of the 173rd Fighter Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard based in Klamath Falls."Coma," and I use his nickname in an appreciative way, we were told, has attended our Eastern Oregon University and was happy for the opportunity of the flight some 400 mph, a thousand feet aboveground overthe Memorial Day services. At the very time of 11:30 a.m. the 242 flags commemorating those who have served in our nation's military were fluttering in a light breeze, Pastor Roger Cochran was closing his service remarks in prayer, and the two young folks from the La Grande High School band, Jordan Hickey and Sarah Hansen, were raising their instruments to their lips to play taps when the airplane arrived. At the same time in Baker City, the ceremony of Avenue of Flags was being held at Mount Hope Cemetery with County Commissioner Bill Harvey as guest speaker and Kathleen Cathey from Sen.Ron Wyden's offi cereading a letter from him in his absence. The F-15 silhouetted against our gray sky couldn't have been more perfect as it dipped its wing to us in La Grande and headed off for Baker City to dothesame thing there.Ido believe there couldn't have been a dry eye in that crowd attending the service.

These cookies are topped with a dollop of Nutella.

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

I find that sometimes simple recipes are the best. When I recently had dinner guestsover,Ifirstconsidered making some fancy dessert, but then Idecided that cookiesare comfort food for many of us and decidedto shareone ofmy alltimefavorit e recipes. I learned how to make the My Very Favorite Cookies recipe almost two years ago, but I have yet to make them for fear that I would eat them all myself. Ihave enjoyed these cookiesfor many years at the Chocolatine restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California. There was not a time thatIvisited thatplace and didn't order one of these cookies. They are easy to make and hands down the best cookie that I have ever tasted. I am also sharing with you my secondfavoriterecipe,which is Italian Wedding Cookies. To no surprise they have very similar ingredients, and they are also easy to make. My third recipe is a bit of a twist on chocolate chip cookies,the secretingredient being ground-up oatmeal. I found it a bit tricky to filter the oatmeal with a sifter but the cookie has a great texture and just enough chocolate. If you love nuts I suggest you add '/4 cup of your favorites to the ingredients list. I want to share a tip with you that I recently learned from the French pastry chef who taught me how to make My Very FavoriteCookiesrecipe.Ifyou areout of confectioners sugar you can put granulated sugar in the food processorand grind itup to get the powdered sugar. I actually just had to use this method for the first time last week. I hope you all stay cool and please let me know what you are cooking. Cheers!

Also helping with the service was the singing of the national anthem by Melissa Chamberlain, the presentationofcolorsby the Army National Guard 3rd Battalion, 116th Armored Cavalry, and the Boy Scouts of America Troop 514 in chair placement and program distribution as well as helping Navy veteran Fred Alexis in raising the American flag. We are so grateful for all their faithfulness in this annual commemoration. Standing recognition was given the Daughters of the American Revolution, Lone Pine Tree Chapter of La Grande/Baker City, for their diligent work in doing the necessary paperwork to arrange for the flyovers. I lack further information on the memorial service in Baker City but both counties were involved through their veterans' organizations. This annual Memorial Day service always stirs me because the memorial includes my husband and other relatives, butIhad learned a few daysbefore thatthe pilot of George's crew, Herb Friedman of Pearl River, New York, had just died. Herb cared for his crew members and their wives as a mother hen, I do believe. AfterGeorge died in 2008,Herb called me &om across the continent every six months to see if I was doing OK. I suffer now all over again. Now the only remaining member of the crew who met for the last time in reunion in 1992 is Vade Giles in Texas, the oldest member of the lot of us. I suppose that the family relationship between crew members builds in every war. Ours happens to have been World War II just prior to the ending of the hostilities and our men were poised for action in the Pacific Ocean. That they didn't have to gowas a blessing to us wives, for we all gained our husbands even though I caught George as soon as he

HOME 8 LIVING want the garden to be."' Gluck notes that her business iscreating beautifulgardens, not dog runs. But planning a place for Fido to relieve himself is essential to keeping plants alive, she said."There's no way you can have a dog peeing in the garden without killing the plants. It's throwing money away." Plan where your dog will do her business, Gluck suggests, and then train her to go there and only there. Gluck typically createsa hidden area forclients' dogs, screening with plants if necessary. • Hardy plants work best. Fragile plants won't stand up to thestress oflarge or active dogs. 'We don't want plants that break off easily," Gluck said. "They won't work with dogs or small children, either." Trees and shrubs mostly do fine, as do hostas and other hardy perennials with thick leaves. Gluck recommends grasses. Precious plants can always be potted and placed away from play areas. • Be aware of toxicity. Another consideration for owners of dogs who like to chew is avoiding toxic plants. Lindsay recently went to great lengths to designa landscape freeoftoxic plants for a woman who trains guide dogs and welcomes new puppiesfrequently.TheASPCA website has a lengthy list of toxicplants that petowners should avoid. • Go grass-free.

You see, it happened this way long after the war had beenlaid torestand thedifferent ones had gone about new lives out of uniform. George and I were living up on the hill in 1988 when a telephone call came. George answered. "Are you the Fleshman who ...?" the voice asked.

in the Air Force. That was w here the idea ofa real reunion in 1989 was fostered and, of course, George offered to be the first host at Edelweiss Acres on the hill with side trips through Union County, Walla Walla, and over into Idaho. They wereabletofind Herb Friedman, the pilot; Charles "Red" Gilly, the bombardier; and engineer Richard "Doug" Douglas. Happily they and their wives were able to make it to the reunion with the exception of "Red" and Lorraine. We had a wonderful time with the 'Vade! Vade Giles?Where eight of us. are you?" In the meantime,"Red" George was so excited that and his wife Lorraine, who I knew this was an imporwere unable to come to our tant call.

quent patching is the ultimate challenge for dog owners. Some find it too much of a hassle and do away with grass altogether. "If you want a yard designed for your dog, having grass is going to be a big challenge," Petchenik said. "There's no grass on my property at all." Solutions will vary, depending on the type of property and the breed and number of dogs. Lindsay, who works in the Pacific Northwest, where rain and mud are perpetualchallenges,has a blend of cedar chips shefavors for pathways. One of her clients, who favoreda more traditional look for her Tudor home, installed synthetic grass. • H ardscapesmatter,too. Consider canines when choosing materials for pathways or patios. Gravel can get stuck in delicate paws. Concrete can be too hard,especiall y for aging pets with joint issues. • Accept limitations. Dogs and gardens can exist in harmony, but modifications are likely necessary. Wide paths and raisedberms clearly mark areas designedfordogs and those for plants. Since many dogs like to patrol perimeters, avoid elaborate plantings in those areas — or leavea space for petsto squeeze through, suggested Lindsay. When executed well, the dog-friendlygarden isa haven for both pet and owner. "Ideally the garden is a place where the dog can romp around with the owners and everyone can have a great time," Gluck said.

RHODIES Continued ~om Page 1B I burst his bubble by telling him so, but surely he would want to know! They keep their leaves too! As soon as the blooms we have now are through we carefully pinch or snip them out, being careful to not disturb the new growth coming out below them. There are from two to four new shoots and at the end is the start of the buds that will bloom next year. They grow during the summer and then are there all winter. Once it warms up in the spring they start to grow and eventually bloom, starting the processalloveragain. Do be sure to give them plenty of water and a fertilizer for "acid-loving" plants. I try to put the fertilizer on several times during the summer, but Dr. Clark told me to just throw pine needles in under them. She has pine trees, but I don't. Did you know you can prune rhododendrons?Iused to be nervous ofit,butit can encourage some healthy new growth. I just prune off any that look bad or dead and now and then just to even out the bush. One man said the best rhododendrons he has were some he moved from an area where cows had eaten them off for a number of years. He said they shot up new growth and were amazing within a few years and that is how he learned that pruning is a good thing, and I learned from him. Just one last thing I should tell you if you are wanting to buy some rhododendrons is that in our area they do best on the north side of a building to protect them from the winter wind. I have seen some of the early kind on the south side though ... so what do I know? Reach the author by email at Crisj~r@eoni. com.

And so you will, provided you arealwaystrueto yourselfand avoidcoming under the infl uence ofanyone who might overshadowyou. You must therefore step out on your own at the first opportrinlty — and indeed, again and again.
