Good Day Wish To A Subscriber A special good day to Herald subscriber Charles Carey of Baker City.

Sports, 6A MANAUS, BrazilThey were less than 30 seconds away. The Americans were about to romp into the round of16 at theWorld Cup, about to walk off with their first comefrom-behind win at soccer's showcase. About to advancewith a game to spare. About to win consecutive World Cup games for the first time since 1930. But they wilted in theAmazon heat and humidity. Varela's goal on a diving header off Cristiano Ronaldo's cross 41/2 minutes into five minutes of stoppage time gave Portugal a 2-2 tie Sunday on an exhausting night in the rainforest capital.

$1,000 donations The Baker City Bandstand Project has received a pair of $1,000 donations from local families. James D. "Jim" Van Cleave and his wife, Ines, chose to commemorate Jim's World War II military service, and their 68-year marriage, with their donation. The Van Cleave family homesteaded in Hereford in 1906. Dick Hindman honored his late wife Joyce's love of learning, and his own love of bands, with his donation. A drum major in high school, Hindman was director of the Baker Elks Drum and Bugle Corps for manyyears. The Hindman family has been in Baker Valley since 1863. "We really appreciate this kind of support," Dave Hunsaker, chairman of the Baker City Bandstand Committee, said in a press release. "We're making good progress toward our goal of building a facility that will be an asset to the entire community and Baker County." The bandstand will be built at Geiser-Pollman Park. For more information about the Bandstand project, go to www. bakercitybandstand.org or phone Hunsaker at 541-523-9980.

An interest in plants and a desiretostay home to raise her three daughters inspired Dona Servid to establish a greenhouse at her home onHunt Mountain Lane. That was 25 years ago — she can track the date because she was Servid p r e gnant with her youngest daughter, Sarah, at the time. Otherwise one year flows into the next as the 58-year-old continues to work at home even after raising those three girls to adulthood. Amy is 29; Alexa is 26 and is planning afallwedding;and Sarah is 25. From November to June, Dona tends the flowers and plants that are the foundation of Rock Garden Greenhouse at the base of

The Rock Garden Greenhouse complex will one day offer food service from the building left of the greenhouses. the Elkhorn Mountains. And while she is nurturing the plants, arranging baskets and deadheading wilted blossoms, her husband, Mark, and her sister, Eileen Gyllenberg, stafF the new greenhouses on Cedar Street daily. Eileen works most of the day Monday through Thursday and Mark takes over after finishing his day job as a dental hygienist at Baker Dental Group. He also spends all day at the site on most Fridays, Satur-

days and Sundays. Dona recalls how the business got its start with a tiny 12-by-4-foot greenhouse that sat at the end of the trailer house they lived in beforetheirpresent home was built. "I've grown bigger than I thought I would," Donna said ofher family's Rock Garden Greenhouse while taking an afternoon break to be interviewed. The beauty of the Elkhorn Mountains out the frontdoor oftheServids'

home and the Wallowa Mountains to the northeastare hard for avisitor to miss, not to mention the colorful pansies, petunias and geraniums growing in the nearby greenhouses. But as her busy season is winding down, Dona admits that she is less than enthusiastic about the work at this time of year when she misses the view while her mind is focused on her work.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 23, 1964 Excessive motor noise is now a violation of the city traffic ordinance. The City Council last night adopted the ordinance amendment prohibiting excessive motor noise within the city and passed an additional 35 traffic laws. All of the laws included within the amendment are state traffic laws concerning equipment on vehicles, authority of police officers, and traffic offense procedures. Passage of the amendment gives the city police officers a wider scope in which to issue citations through Municipal Court, however, it was possible to issue the citations prior to passage of the amendment through District Court. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 23, 1989 Photo: Downtown construction — The northeast corner of First and Church streets was being primed for constructionThursday by Sackos Excavating Inc. of Baker. Dick Haynes saidThursday he will have an office building of approximately 5,000 square feet built to house Northwest properties and one other tenant. Haynes also will have an office in the building, which is scheduled to be completed in October. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 23, 2004 Don Giles wants to send out15,000 postcards from Baker County depicting a painting byTerri Axness. The message is essentially "wish you were here." Giles, co-chair of RAN (Retirees and Newcomers) together with Dick Haynes, and the county's economic development commission, said last week that RAN seeks about $9,300 to send postcards to a targeted audience and to pay for the return postage. "I think it will be easy to raise the money," Giles said. "We've already got a person putting together a list of graduates of the high schools in Baker County and their addresses." ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 1, 2013 No one worried about a snowstorm at this year's Baker City Cycling Classic. But the heat and humidity brought their own challenges — heat exhaustion and consuming enough liquid to ward off dehydration. "It was awful," said James Ferguson, as he sought shade and water after finishing the 69-mile Catherine Creek Road Race on Friday. On Friday, the temperature topped 90 degrees during the stage, which includes 2,621 feet of elevation gain. Thosenumbers,however,mean more when you watch the race from 20 feet behind the group of riders.

The Servids will keep their plant business open through the summer this year, though hours will be shortened after their usual July 4 closing date, Mark said. Signs will be posted at the site announcing their open hours. Plans for a companion building next door that the couple had hoped to open this year as well, have been delayed because of cost. Dona said her hope to spend the late summer and early fall in the kitchen cooking at what she tentatively is calling the Hock Garden Food Shop, will have to wait because the expense of the expansion project was more than she and her husband had expected. When it does open, Dona will take her lifelong love for cooking

We endorsed Baker City Manager Mike Kee's proposal to give the city's 16 non-union employees a 1.5-percent cost-of-living raise, the first for that group since 2011.

The City Council disagreed. The Council did craR a potential compromise, though, and one that could be an improvement over Kee's plan. Councilors recently voted 6-1, with Mayor Richard Langrell opposed, to give Kee authority to award raises of up to 2 percent to non-union staA'who have done well on performance evaluations. Our support for this idea is not without reservation because it's possible that all of the city's nonunion staf will end up with a bigger raise than what Kee initially proposed — 2 percent compared with 1.5 percent. That would be too generous. It defies logic to believe that each non-union employee has performed at such a high level to warrant the maximum pay raise possible. You won't find that sort of unanimous excellence at any organization, public or private. That caveat aside, we prefer giving raises based on merit rather than a spurious cost-of-living basis. Ultimately, the Council's decision has put the onus, and rightly so, on Kee. Ifhe decides to give each non-union employee the full 2-percent raise councilors allotted, then we expect he will explain in some detail, to the public and the Council, why the workers' performance justified the maximum reward.

Faiin to e 'ne'victo 'inIra The breakout of violence and advance of ISIS in Iraq has plenty of folks in Washington pointing fingers. Is the violence President Obama's fault, for withdrawing troops from that war-torn country too soon? Or perhaps blame can be laid on the George W. Bush administration for launching a war that ended up destabilizing the country? Who is at fault? And what should be done? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

BEN BOYCHUK "Four years ago," President Obama saidin 2012,"Ipromised toend thewar in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. And we have." We did — without victory. We havewith diminishing returns. Obama said al-Qaida was on the path to defeat. Osama bin Laden may have been dead, but the president's words were empty. The war certainly wasn't over for the people actually fighting itthe Sunnis and the Shia slaughtering each other, as they have done off and on for centuries. But let's face it: The sectarian crisis unfolding across Iraq isn't Obama's disaster entirely or even mostly. The war was a mistake from the outset. This is a heavy burden for anyone who ever thought the war was a good idea. The Bush administration carried off a brilliant invasion in 2003, and bungled just abouteverythingelse. Iraq is a bipartisan calamity. The redoubtable David Goldman, who writes as "Spengler" for the Asia Times, noted the other day, "the trouble is both parties wanted the wrong thing to begin with." And what was that"wrong thing"? Republicans and Democrats alike thought the United States could make a nation out of messy Mesopotamia. They blithely assumed Iraqis wanted

Nonetheless, there are many hawks who assert that America did win in Iraq — that it occurred after the "surge" in American troops helped BEN BOYCHUK largely pacify the violent country during President George W. Bush's last democracy, unity and progress — that two years in office. But that's wrong: The surge was supposed to buy time for these were "universal values."

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Legislation to create the Cathedral Rock Wilderness is stalled in Congress, and it should stay that way until it is revised to ensure full public access. The plan has numerous benefits, but its fatal flaw is the moat of private land that would block most people from public land that they can reach now. The plan has been discussed in various forms for years, and was introduced as part of the Oregon Treasures Act of 2013 by

Oregon's U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley. The bill would create the 8,686acre Cathedral Rock Wilderness in Jefferson and Wasco counties, and the 9,200-acre Horse Heaven Wilderness in Jefferson County. The land is now a patchwork of private and public lands, which would be consolidated through swaps between the Bureau of LandManagement and private owners Young Life, which runs summer camps, and Cherry Creek Ranch.

Controversy has focused on Cathedral Rock, where land access would be extremely limited, essentially giving private land owners unfettered use of public lands. Jefferson County, which supported earlier versions of the plan,pulled back after road accesswas closed. The public would gain consolidated land and access along the John Day River, but could reach it only by floating the river. Hikers and hunters would lose out. The plan has enthusiastic support from the private land owners who would benefit,

and from the Oregon Natural Desert Association, a Bend-based conservation group. What's befuddling is the support it has received from our senators. Wyden has asked the county and landowners to find compromise on access, but offers from the landownersfallfar shortoffullaccess,and the county has rejected them. Wyden and Merkley need to protect the public by insisting on full road access to Cathedral Rock. Until that is accomplished, the bill should not advance.

FIFA World Cup:U.S.,PortuoalPlayIo 2-2Ilraw

• Just 30 seconds from advancing to round of 16, U.S. gives up game-tying goal to Portugal, but Team USA still in decent shape By Ronald Blum

Ap sports vvr ter

MANAUS, Brazil — They were less than 30 seconds away. The Americans were about to romp into the round of 16 at the World Cup, about to walk off with their first come-fi'om-behind win at soccer's showcase. About to advance with a game to spare. About to win consecutive World Cup games for the first time since 1930. But they wilted in the Amazon heat and humidity. Varela's goal on a diving header off Cristiano Ronaldo's cross 4V2 minutes into five minutes of stoppage time gavePortugal a 2-2 tie Sunday on an exhausting night in the rainforest capital. "It's tough, but it's just the way it goes," U.S. captain Clint Dempsey said.aWe're Americans. I think we like to do things the hard way." Now the U.S. may need a point Thursday against three-time champion Germany to advance to the knockout stage. The Americans could clinch with a loss, depending on the result of the Portugal-Ghanagame that will be played simultaneously. "Somebody sent me a text: It feels awesome and awful at the same time," U.S. Soccer Federation President

WHAT'S NEXT FORTEAM USA?

The United States and Germany both have four points and areatop Group G overGhana and Portugalwho have one point each. In the group stage of the World Cup, wins are worth three points, and draws are worth one point. All four teams have one game remaining. Germany and the U.S. will playThursday in Recife, and Ghana and Portugal will kick off at the same time in Brasilia. Here are the scenarios: • If the U.S. wins: The Americans are through to the next round as the winners of Group G and will play the second place team from Group H. (Belgium currently leads Group H, followed byAlgeria, Russia and South Korea) Germany would finish second unless Ghana or Portugal won and passed Germany on goal differential. Germany currently is plus 4, Ghana is minus 1 and Portugal is minus 4. The second-place finisher plays the winner of Group H. • If Germany wins: Germany wins the group. The U.S. would finish secondunless Ghana or Portugal won and passed the U.S. on goal differential. The U.S. is plus 1, Ghana is minus 1 and Portugal is minus 4. So, if the U.S. loses to Germany, it will be rooting for Portugal, because it's less likely that Portugal could pass the U.S. on goal differential. • If Germany and the U.S. draw: Germany wins the group and the U.S. finishes second. The result of the other game is meaningless. • If Ghana and Portugal draw: The U.S. and Germany advance. Germany wins the group unless the U.S. defeats them. • Other tiebreakers: In any of these scenarios involving goal differential, if two teams are tied on points and goal differential, the next tiebreaker is total goals scored. Germany has six goals, the U.S. has four, Ghana has three and Portugal hastwo. — The Associated Press

Clint Dempsey of the U.S. shoots the ball against Portugal during the FIFAWorld Cup at the Arena Amazonia Stadium in Manaus, Brazil, on June Sunday. Sunil Gulati said. Germany and the U.S. have four points each, but the Germans have a better goaldifference.Portugal and Ghana have one point. All four nations remain alive. Both the Americans and Germans would advance with a tie. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, a star for West Germany's team that won the 1990title,dismissed the notion that he would entertain trying to play a draw if asked by current Germany coach Joachim Loew, his assistant on his homeland's

2006 World Cup squad. "There's no such call," Klinsmann said."There's no time right now to have friendship calls. It's about business now." The U.S. fell behind early for the fifth time in its last 12 World Cup matches when Geoff Cameron's wayward clearance gifted Nani a fifthminute goal. Tim Howard made several tough saves to keep the U.S. close, and Bradley nearly scored in the 55th, but his 6-yard shot toward an open goal clanked off the knee of

defender Ricardo Costa. Jermaine Jones finally tied it in the 64th with an exquisite 28-yard shot tucked inside the far post. And Dempsey put the Americans ahead 2-1 in the 81st when Bradley's initial shot was blocked and squirmed to Graham Zusi. He crossed for Dempsey, who let the ball bounce off his stomach and in for his second goal of the tournament and fourth of his World Cup career. A screaming, pro-American majority in the crowd of 40,123 was ready to party late into the steamy night. "We could all taste it. We could taste the second round. We were right there," defenderMatt Besler said. Not quite. Eder stol e the ballfrom Bradley at midfield and made a short pass to Nani,

who sent it up the field and wide to Ronaldo. The two-time world player of the year lashed a 25-yard cross into the box, and Varela beat Cameron to the ball, deflating the red, white and blue-clad fans. Klinsmann called it"a little bit of a bummer." According to Jones, the American players took it

harder. Now it's onto Recife. Nothing is decided. They could move on. Or after all this, they could be sent home. aWehave one foot in the door," the always-optimistic Klinsmann said. "Now we're going to walk the second footin there and get it done."

GARDEN GUIDE

JENNIE HAGEN

Farewell to

my garden, and column Maybe it's the dirt, might even be the water. But whatever the reason, this place is special. I mean, really, the cilantro is over 5 feet tall, the daylily buds are as tall as I am and the one gallon Nepeta icat mint) I planted last springisnow over 4 feetacross.I'd like to think they are all growing with such recklessabandon asispossible only with something that knows it's loved. And that's what makes it even harder, to leave it all behind. We're ofFon another adventure again, moving to make beautiful a new yardthatsufFersfrom neglectand a lack of inspiration. This adventure, however, takes us back to the high desert region of Eastern Oregon where we came here from. We moved here with a particular objective in mind and as always the first thing I do when landing in a new spot is to see what I can do to make it"mine." This place here will always be in my heart as one that was very, very special. Pieces of the memories will go with us, however. The clematis that was my mother-in-law's and the Yukon River rock with her name carved on it will make the trip. The little white rose that was on the table next to her bed hasbeen planted here and itgoes, too. The lewisii in the herb garden are w hat my mother gave me, they11go as well. And a few seeds from some of my other favorites, but for the most part the people that are inheriting this lovely place won't even notice anything is gone, there is just so much. So it's a bittersweet feeling, this accomplishment of so much in such a shortperiod oftime .Turrnng the red lavarock desertinto atruegarden of life so full ofhope and promise. It was worth all the aches and pains, the numerous visits to the cupboard for ibuprofen, then back to the dirt to plant some more. What I gave this place gave me so much more in return.

Memories of the Zuber

building When you describe something faceto-face in a general way, it can pass, but if it reaches print imy June 2 column), then it changes the whole connotation. Take the location of the old Zuber building in La Grande. It isn't there anymore. I had been visiting with a young person who had never heard of that particular building — not as a dancehall, as Orella's Garden dine and dance, or as a skating rink. In fact, I had intended only to connect my fiiend Orella generally to La Grande as one-time owner of the building on Washington Avenue and go on from there in explanation ofher coming visit. In describing its location of an earlier day I'm afraid I was lax in an historical sense by saying that the Zuber was located in the parking lot, and Richard Taylor's sharp eye caught my errorforwhich Ido appreciate. It takes all of us to remember history as it was. SeeDory IEbge 2B

By Karen Kain Thisavocado chocolate pudding recipe isdecadent and addicting. I am just warning you. A few of us who have tried it have not slept well due to the caffeine in the cocoa powder, but it didn't stop a certain someone from eating it two nights in a row. Summer is the perfect time for simple desserts. This is a must try. Don't tell your guests what is in it and see if they can guess. The avocados need to be soft but still firm. They give the pudding a smooth texture. You only need a little because it is so decadent. I love this recipe because it is super easy, healthy and delicious. The perfect sweet snack for gluten free and Casein free diets. The dark chocolate makes it rich and if you love chocolate you will love this!

LA GRANDE'S LANDSCAPING CONTEST

oun o By Kelly Black

ForyyesCom News Serwce

It seems as if a rainbow landed in Geraldine Tannehill's yard. aWe get all the colors in here in the spring," said Tannehill. Her perennial garden recently caughtthe eye ofthe La Grande beautification award program. Three times each year the city of La Grande recognizes one residential and one commercialproperty forexemplary landscape. Tannehill is the spring residential recipient. "I do have a lot of springstufF," she said. Tannehill has been gardening for more than 40 years on her corner property. "I used to be able to kill poinsettias in a week and now they live forever," she said. The poinsettias are not the only plants thriving. White magnolias mingle with pink flowering almonds. Spires oflupine and delphinium cast shadows on variegated hostas and true geraniums. Tannehill picks her perennialstohave a succession ofcolor. Tannehill has nearly 55 feet of terraced gardens. The terrace walls are made from recycled sidewalk that came from downtown La Grande. Prominent on one terrace are white Esther Read Shasta daisies, which are used on parade floats. "They are hard to come by. My sister found those and I've kept them going for about 40 years," said Tannehill. Tannehill has a greenhouse, and she enjoys trying new plants. "Itisgetting harder and harder to find something I haven't tried," said Tannehill. She jokes that there are two types of gardeners — the first type plans everything out with each plant in its proper place. "Then there are gardeners like me. They see something they like, they've got to have it and stick it in the ground," said Tannehill. Tannehill does have a few visitors who like to take things out of the ground — voles.

This was the Orella Chadwick who was coming to La Grande for a quick Memorial Day weekend visit, attending the Imbler School

reunion and family graves. It was a special hour that I had with her, unchanged in statureand personalit y at95, a steady fiiendship over the years. Since old records encompass the addresses of 1419, 1421, and 1423 Washington Ave.as one-time locations for Zuber Hall, could there have been more than one Zuber building? The properties

remain empty of buildings so the Zuber Hall mystique still pervades. In retrospect I think it is safe to simply say that the old Zuber Hall was located on the north side of the 1400 block of Washington Avenue in La Grande. I certainly hope so. Do you remember the old Zuber Hall? Memories? Photos?

Chicago Tnbune

The weather's cooperating, the coals are lit — and you've got your mind on a juicy steak with perfect grill marks. But what type of steak should you buy? Well, rib-eye remainsthe favorite across the United States — and the bigger the better. But the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, an industry group,lists some 28 steak or fillet cuts you can choose from.They come ina range offlavor,texture,tenderness, fatcontent and price. The six most popular? Karli Millspaugh, an association spokeswoman, says they are: Boneless rib-eye, bonelessstrip steak,top sirloin steak, bone-in rib-eye, bone-in strip steak and Tbone steak. All are familiar and delicious; you can't go wrong with them. Another route, particularly if your dad thinks of himself as an edgy, lone-wolf type,isto serveone ofthe new beef cuts entering the market. These new steaks are tender muscles gleaned from hard-working areas of the animal like the shoulder

ichuckl or hind leg iroundl, sectionsusually relegated to low,slow braising orroasting. "They are diamonds in the rough.... The big example is the flat iron," says Craig A. Morris, deputy administrator of the Livestock, Poultry and Seed Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service. Whatever the steak cut is, be it an old favoriteor something new, there are certain factors you should consider

online

T-BONE The bone divides the meat into two sections, the large strip, or top loin, and the smaller tenderloin. Section: short loin

PORTERHOUSE The T-bone's neighbor. Sports a much larger tenderloin attached to the central bone. Section: short loin

STRIP STEAK (New York strip, Kansas City strip, top loin, Delmonico, shell steak.) Sold bone-in or boneless. Section: short loin

TOP SIRLOIN Bill Hogan / ChicagoTnhune

Summer is here and that means many grillers are stepping up to the heat and putting a big steak on the fire. One option to cook is the flat iron. in choosing a steak. Marbling, the amount of fat distributed within the meat, is the most important indicator of quality for consumers, says Randy Waidner, corporate executivechef for Chicago-based Gibsons Restaurant Group."There's more flavor, more tenderness," he says.

The USDA grades beef quality and labels cuts accordingly, and marbling is a major factor in determining the rating."Prime" has long been considered the best, followed by"Choice" and "Select." The challenge is, as Morris notes, that there may be some Choice or Select cuts that are as tender as Prime but at a lower price. To help consumers find those cuts and make wiser choices,

the USDA has launched a new program to tag cuts as "USDA Certifi edTender" or "USDA Certified Very Tender" based on specific, objective criteria. Bone-in can make a difference, too.ScottFader, general manager of Petty's Meats in Longwood, Flan likes a porterhouse steak more than its sibling, the T-bone, because the porterhouse has a larger piece of tenderloin, or filet mignon, on one side of the bone. "The filet mignon is tender but lacks a bit of flavor. The bone gives flavor; it's a gamechanger," he says. Tougher cuts, like hanger and skirt steaks, can make for delicious eating if tenderized in a marinade for a few hours or overnight, says Frody Volgger, butcher at

Tony Caputo's Market & Deli in Salt Lake City. Try a teriyaki or ponzu sauce, perhaps accented with mustard and

black pepper, he says. Whether you'll be cooking for dad or he'll be grilling up a steak himself, we've got the details on nine of the best cuts for the grill. Each should be seared over direct heat, then finished in a cooler part of the grill. Thinner cuts iflank, skirt, hanger) should cook with just the searing.

FLAT IRON (Shoulder top blade steak.) Boneless and cut from the shoulder clod top blade roast, each steak averages 8 ounces, with a thickness varying from

(Sirloin butt steak.) Boneless; a continuation of the top loin muscle of the short loin. Section: sirloin

FLANK STEAK (London broil, jiffy steak.) Boneless. Marinate before cooking; slice across the grain for tenderness. Section: flank

SKIRT STEAK The diaphragmmuscle. Boneless. Marinate before grilling; slice across the grain for tenderness. Section: short plate

HANGER STEAK (Butcher's steak, hanging tender.) Boneless. Marinate before grilling; slice across the grain for tenderness. Section: short plate
