Sunshine and blue sky was the order for the Saturday morning ride from Baker to Hells Canyon on Highway 86 with temperatures rising into the 90s.

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Baker City Police maintained a low profile during the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally, Chief Wyn Lohner said this morning.

Which is precisely the profile he hoped for.

"It went very well," Lohner said.'There were hardly any incidents related to the rally itself."

City police arrested only one person who was involved in the rally, Lohner said.

Jeffrey Wayne Worley, 62, of Happy Valley, near

Portland, is accused of fourth-degree assault in an alleged case of domestic violence that

"It's very encouraging to seethatpeoplearegetting rides, or walking," he said.

Chamberlain gets around these days in a powered wheelchair.

"I've been in the chair 40 years," he said.

Chamberlain's injury didn't stop him from riding, though, and while he's had a couple of special project bikes over the years to accommodate his chair, the latest is a three-wheeled Honda 750 called "The Dragon Wagon."

The Wagon was built over the span of three years with the help of two of Chamberlain's friends: Mick Bastian and Denny Nave.

The fire started in a patch of sagebrush but Phil Whitley said the flames spread so fast he almostcould have believed the fuel was something more volatile.

"It took off like someone poured kerosene on it,"Whitley said this morning, just a few hours after he and firefighters from severallocalagencieshad corralled a lightning-sparked blaze near Medical Springs about 17 miles northeast of Baker City.

The fire started about 10:40 p.m. Sunday on the west side of Highway 203 between Wirth and Blue Mountain Ridge roads.

ODF Tightens Fire Restrictions With hot, dry weather continuing the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODFj will institute a regulated use closure that tightens fire restrictions in Northeastern Oregon.

The closure takes effect at midnight tonight. It affects state land and private land that's within ODF protection boundaries. That doesn't include Baker City.

"The extended period of hot and dry weather has quickly elevated our fuel conditions to critical levels," said Matt Howard, wildland fire supervisor for ODF's Wallowa Unit.

"With the regulated use closure, we are prescribing conditions in which landowners and recreationists can work and play on forest land protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry to minimize the potential of starting a wildfire," Howard said in a press release.

Limiting human-caused fires within the Northeast Oregon District is the objective of the closure, which includes the following restrictions: SeeRestrictions/Page 2A

eal Chamberlain from North Powder has been riding motorcycles since 1966 — including a 3Vz-year stint in the Air Force that ended in 1972.

Then, in 1974, he had a motocross accidentthat fractured his C6 and C7 vertebrae, stripping him of the use ofhis legs and almost all the use ofhis arms and hands.

Though he had been racing motocrossfora few years beforehiscrash,the accident didn't happen during a race.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 14, 1964 The city council last night authorized City manager Fred C. Dyer to prepare and execute a quit-claim deed to the county for five lots of property north of the Armory.

The lots are near two blocks of property owned by the county that Baker Little League Inc. plans to use for the construction of a new baseball field to accommodate Babe Ruth and Junior Legion baseball.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 14, 1989 Lacy J. Dalton will have some big admirers at her concert tonight at Baker High. One even has her name.

Lacy J. Lesina, 7, of Portland will be in the audience, along with everyone in her family except her father, John.

He died lastApril at the age of 40 from a rare form of liver cancer.

According to Lacy's grandmother, Virginia Conner of Baker, a doctor believes John's cancer stems from a dose ofAgent Orange he received in Vietnam during the late 1960s.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 14, 2004 Chuck Rouse's job is to bring jobs to Baker County, and the more jobs he brings the more money he might make.

As much as $6,200 more peryearthan he makes now, in fact.

Rouse also might make less — $13,800 less — but that's a risk he says he's willing to take.

Rouse's bosses, the five members of the county's Economic Development Council (EDC), voted Monday to offer him a new deal.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 22, 2013 "In a previous life that horse was a carnivorous animal."

That's how announcer Steve Kenyon described one of the horses Friday night at the bronc riding event at the Baker County Fairgrounds.

Some of the rankest saddle broncs and bulls along with arguably the toughest cowboys in the West gathered at the Fairgrounds arena for Friday's bronc riding and Saturday's bull riding events.

His son and daughter-inlaw, Wayne and April Whitley, live nearby, and April was the first to see the flames.

At that time the fire was confined to a couple of clumps of sagebrush, Phil Whitley said.

But when he and other volunteer firefighters arrived with fire engines and other equipment the flames had scorchedabout fi ve acresof the tinder-like range and were spreading fast.

The thunderstorm that spawned the lightning bolt didn't bring any rain, Whitley sald.

The fire damaged sections of fence but didn't burn any buildings, he said.

Flames crept to within five feetorsoofgrasshay that Whitley had recently cut.

The fire spread from Whitley's property to land owned by Mike and Nicky McGinnis.

Whitley said the rapid responsefrom severallocal fire agencies to the mutual aid was vital.

WAGON Continued from Page1A The Dragon Wagon has been on the road for about four years now, by Chamberlain's count.

Bastian, who did the machine's frame and driveline work, said that when Bastain p e ople heard about the project they leapt up to help in any way they could. ''We saw no end to the volunteers," Bastian said.

W ell-wishers offered everything from discounts on partstofreeuse ofa shop.

Nave, a retiredaircraft mechanic who went to high . jr school with Chamberlain, worked on the Nave Wagon's controls, which are modified to make it possible for Chamberlain to ride the machine.

This work required the same kind of care and attentiontodetailastherest of the bike, and by then the three knew how to tackle thesesortsofissues. ''We kinda know what iChamberlainl can and can't do," Nave said.

Chamberlain attributes the fact that he's still riding in machines like the Wagon to the people in his life.

"Ittakes a lotofgood people around you to do something like that," he sard.

"It's been a lot of fun," he added. "Once riding's in your blood, you just can't get it out."

Chamberlain came to last year's HCMR, but he doesn't put in marathon days on the road while he's here.

His back, he said, can't take too much abuse anymore. But that's not to say he's going to quit anytime soon.

"Sooner or later you've got to getitoutofyour blood," Chamberlain said. "I'll keep

— Don Gaide of La Grande, talking about the allure of motorcycle riding

in its time that now resides at the National Hot Rod Association museum in Pomona, Calif.

"Everybody that we raced we beatatleastonce or twice," Gaide said. Indeed, according to the NHRA, the car won 17 of its first 22 Top Fuel races.

These days Gaide's retired, and motorcycles help keep him busy.

"It's a sickness, you know," he said of motorcycling. "It keeps me out of trouble."

Gaide, 75, has been attending the Hells Canyon Rally since he moved to the area six years ago. He still ridesfrom time to time, getting his fix on a pair of two-stroke Yamahas from the 1980s.

G aide said he comes to the rally to people watch as well as to sell bikes to shake things up in his garage.

While he's sold a few machines to passers-by for cash in recent years, Gaide said that those days seem to be over.

"Peoplearen'tletting loose with their money like they used to," he said. "And when they do, it's for something new."

roa ax BI1 B1 S Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The federal Highway Trust Fund is rapidly going broke, so rapidly that the single largest pot of money

for highways, bridges, light rail and the like could be empty by August. If that were to happen, the U.S. Department of Transportation says, as many as

700,000 U.S. jobs could disappear.

The trust fund's problems stem from a variety of changes in Americans' driving habits. According to the Washington Post, we're driving smaller, more eKcient cars, and we're driving them less. In Oregon, drivers logged about 6.3 percent fewer miles in 2012 than they had in 2007, before the recession hit. Too, the 1993 18.3 cent per gallon tax on gas is worth only about 11 cents per gallon in 2014 pennies.

Oregon is particularly vulnerable to the loss of what the state Department of Transportation says could be $150 million per year, meanwhile. We're among the most dependent states on federal highway dollars, which account for between 35 and 40 percent of state road and transit dollars. Moreover, we consistently get back far more from the fund than we put in.

Clearly, Congress must find a way to reload the highway fund, no simple task in an election year.

Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, has come up with a doozy of a solution. He proposes dropping the gas tax and replacing it with a tax on oil companies — because, as he says, people don't like the oil companies. Gasoline prices would be unlikely to fall much, he admits. He'd also double the tax on diesel fuel, a surefire way to drive up the cost of many goods, including food, sold in this country.

While the goal of fixing the highway fund has merit, DeFazio's disdain for voters' intelligence rankles.

Rather than DeFazio's disingenuous proposal, we'd like something far more honest, perhaps a mileage tax applicable to all vehicles. That might be a hard sell, but it would fix the problem and do so honestly.

It's far better than a move to hide the current tax from those who ultimately pay it.

Fire destroys homes near Klamath Falls KLAMATH FALLS — Otficials say a fast-growing wildfire in southern Oregon has destroyed homes and forceddozens ofevacuations.

Firemanagers say a blaze erupted near Sprague River around 2p.m. Sunday and had mushroomed tonearly three square miles after nightfall.

The South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership says the wildfire burning through timber and brush in the Moccasin Hill neighborhood has destroyed an undetermined number ofhomes and other structures.

But spokeswoman Erica Hupp says crews won't know more about the types and numbers of structures burned until the scene can be accessed in daylight.

She says that before sundown, Klamath County sherifI"s deputies evacuated more than 100 people from homes along two roads in the area. There was no word of any injuries.

The Red Cross has set up a shelter at a community center in Sprague River, which is about 25 miles northeast of Klamath Falls.

Solar electric systems remain popular with Oregon homeowners and small businesses thanks to falling costs, but the array of incentive programs leaves some wouldbe parti cipants confused, accordingto a recentreport by the state Public Utility Commission.

The PUC, in a report to the Legislature released July 1, alsocited the costofinstallation, repetitive paperwork involved in incentive programs and questions about how long those programs will continue as impediments tofurtherdeveloping solar power in the state. ''What stood out are some of the barriers we identified," said PUC spokesman Bob Valdez."There are different hybridsofdifferentprograms out there, and they are often confusing."

Solar system installers, accordingto the report, "described the difficulty of explaining the different available incentives to potential clients."

Consumers reported difficulty finding the program best for them, and none of the incentive programs implemented by the Legislaturelowered costsmo re effectively than any other, the PUC found.

"Once you put all of the various solar incentive programs on a level playing field, comparing apples to apples, no one program is actually better than another in terms of costsorconvenience to people," said PUC Chairwoman Susan Ackerman.

The report also questions the extent to which taxpayers and utility ratepayers without solar installations benefit from solar energy programs.

Customers of Pacific Power, Portland General Electric and Idaho Power and taxpayerssubsidize solar programs through surcharges on utility bills and tax credits that resultin loststate revenue.

But everyone benefits, to some extent, because solar and otheralternative power sources lower the utilities' costtogenerateand transmit electricity.

"Mainly what this investigation looks at are what the benefits are for the utilities and consumers. In other words, we need to get a handle on what is the value" ofsolarpower,Valdez said. ''We need a better handle on the costs and benefits and then decide whether to promote new programs."

Ackerman said analysts, depending on how they conduct their studies, identify a wide range of cost benefits.

Veterans have higher suicide rate in Oregon PORTLAND iAPl — Military veterans account for nearly a quarter of Oregon's suicides, even though veterans make up less than 10 percent of the state's population.

That's according to a report by the Oregon Health Authority that analyzed data from the state's Violent Death Reporting System from 2008 to 2012.

The Oregonian reports ihttp J/bit.ly/U6BuhF l that the suicides covered all age groups, including veterans oflongended wars. The largest segment of suicide victims was men over the age of 55. For veterans under 45, the report says suicide is the leading cause of death.

Suicide victims often struggled with a variety of contributing issues, from mental health problems to alcohol abusetorelationship struggles,thereportnoted.

The highest rates of veteran suicide occurred outside the Portland area.

Baker standoINiscoachinginjagan

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

Sometimes it pays to have connections.

Just ask Baker High School and Oregon State University graduate Grant Johnson.

Johnson currently is the offensive linecoach forthe Fujitsu Frontiers in the Japan X-League. He signed a 1-year contract in January.

Johnson found out about the position through his John s on connections on the Oregon State football team.

'This spring my offensive line coach from Oregon State, who had connections with another former Oregon State coach who works in Japan, contacted me and asked if I'd be interested," Johnson said recently while in Baker City during a break in the Japan season.

Johnson, who lives with his girlfriend Kate Hagan in Kawasaki, is the Frontiers head offensive line coach, using an interpreter tohelp overcome the language barrier.

"And, I have a class every Thursday during the season to try to learn the language. It's not an easy language to pick up," Johnson said.

Johnson is impressed with the Japanese culture.

'They are very good people," he said.

"They treat me very well."

The X-League was founded in 1971 as the Japan American Football League, then changed its name to the X-League in 1997.

The league consists of 18 teams, 12 in the Tokyo area and six in the Osaka area. The league is divided into three divisions of six teams each.

The league plays part of its season in the spring, takes a break during the summer, then finishes its season in the

fall.

The Frontiers, who played four spring games,losttothe Obic Seagulls37-34 in double overtime in the Pearl Bowl played in front of 20,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome.

Johnson said the fall portion of the season could last as few as five games, or as many as 10.

Each team plays five regular-season games toearn the righttoadvance to thepostseason.Ifateam advances completely through the playoffs they would play five additional games finishing in the Rice Bowl.

Johnson said the Japanese knowledge of the game of football is definitely less than that of U.S. players.

"Their knowledge has not caught up to us," he said.

"Their skill level is closer to our college Division 1-A or Division II level, but they are very smart players."

Each team is allowed to have four American players on its roster, but no more than two U.S. players can be on the field at one time.

"The better teams that have the money to bring Americans over are the corporate teams," Johnson said.

In fact, the playersarenotpaid to play football. They are hired to work for the corporation and must play football on

the weekend.

'They're actually there to play football," Johnson said."To be hired by the corporationthey have to play football.

'There's a big difference between the top teams icorporateland the bottom teams iclubl,n he said.

Johnson, 25, said most of the American players in the league are about his

age.

"But I'm a coach. You can tell the hierarchy," he said.

"I'm treated differently because I'm a coach and they're players. My playersaresupposed to treatme with more respect."

Johnson said the hardest part ofliving in Japan is communication.

"It's a learning process,"he said.

'The league is so new that we're learning as we go."

He said a lot oflearning comes from watching Monday Night Football games on television.

Johnson said the entire coaching staff also traveled to America, visiting several colleges including Oregon State to learn theirfootballsystems. aWe want to run a system similar to what Oregon State runs," he said.

"Everybody runs the same plays. I can show them the Oregon State plays, then show them what we need to do to make it work in our system."

Johnson said living in Japan has been an interesting experience, one that he plansto takeadvantage of.

"Japan has a very polite,respectful culture," he said."They're all very excited that we're there."

WorldCupFinal

ermansnios r entina ortit e RIO DE JANEIRO iAPl — With two quick touches, Mario Goetze ended Germany's 24-year wait for another World Cup title.

Goetze scored the winning goal in extra time to give Germany a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday in a tight and tense World Cup final that came down to one piece of individual skill.

Goetze, who wasn't born when West Germany beat Argentina in the 1990 final, controlled a cross with his chest in the 113th minute and in one fluid motion vol-

leyedtheballpastgoalkeeper Sergio Romero and inside the far post.

It was a goal that gave Germany its fourth World Cup title in its eighth final,

and left Argentina star Lionel Messi still walking in the shadow ofhis compatriot Diego Maradona, who led his country to the 1986 title.

Goetze had come on as a substitute forM iroslav Klose at the end ofregulation time and the 22-year-old midfielder's fresh legs made the difference.

Andre Schuerrle broke

down theleft flank,sending his cross into the area, and the Bayern Munich player did the rest with a clinical finish. The goal echoed that of Andres Iniesta's four years ago, when the midfielder scored in similar fashion but from the otherside ofthe area to give Spain a 1-0 extra time win over the Netherlands.

Steve Blake signs with Trail Blazers PORTLAND iAPl — Steve Blake is coming back to the Trail Blazers.

The team announced the free-agent guard's signing on Thursday. The two-year contract is worth a reported $4.2 million with a player option for the second year.

Blake has had two previous stints with the Blazers, most recentlyfrom 2007-2010,becoming a fan favorite before going on to play for the Lakers, Clippers and Golden State Warriors. He kept a home in the Portland area.

Blakehas averaged 6.9 points,4.0 assistsand 2.2 rebounds over an 11-year NBA career. Last season he averaged6.9pointsand 5.6 assists,splitting the season between the Lakers and Warriors.

"I don't think I could have gone to a team that wasn't playing for the playoffs or playing for the championship, and that's what I expect to have here," Blake told reporters on Thursday.'There is no better place to play basketball. I love it here."

The Trail Blazers can use the 6-foot-3 Blake to help back up All-Star guard Damian Lillard. Mo Williams, who was first off the bench last season, is a free agent this summer and hasreportedly talked tothe DallasMavericks.

"Steve is the perfect fit for our team," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said in a statement."He brings experience, toughness, leadership, shooting and consistent defense."

Blazers sign free agent center Kaman PORTLAND iAPl — Free agent center Chris Kaman has signed a two-year contract with the Portland Trail Blazers.

The deal with the burly 7-footer was first reported on July 3, but it could not be formally announced by the team until Thursday per NBA rules. The Blazers used a midlevel exception on the contract, worth a reported $9.8 million.

Kaman has averaged 11.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over an 11-year NBA career. He is expected to back up Robin Lopez with the Blazers. aWe targeted Chris early in the process believing his offensive versatility and defensive presence would make for a quality addition to our front court," Blazers general manager Neil Olshey said in a statement."His skill set complements our returning roster players and we expect him to have an immediate impact."

Kaman was the sixth overall pick in the 2003 draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. The Michigan native, who played at Central Michigan, was an All-Star with the Clippers in 2010,averaging a career-high 18.5 pointsand 9.3 rebounds, before he was traded to New Orleans the next season.

He played forthe DallasMavericks in 2012-13 before signing a one-year deal with the Lakers.

Sounders top Portland Timbers, 2-0 SEATTLE iAPl — The intent was for Clint Dempsey to go 65 or 70 minutes and not push too hard in his return from the World Cup rejoining the Seattle Sounders.

Dempsey didn't want an abbreviated appearance. Not against Portland. Not in front of another massive crowd.

Dempsey scored off a wild scramble in the 71st minute, and the Sounders beat rival Portland 2-0 on Sunday night, their second victory over the Timbers in four days.

After getting a week to rejuvenate following the U.S. being eliminated, Dempsey was ready. He was subbed off in the final seconds, but his influence was made.

"I only had a week off, so it wasn't like I lost too much fitness and I felt good," Dempsey said. "I was just glad to play a part helping the team win and just excited to get back playing with this team."

Dempsey's goal finished a lengthy buildup of pressure by the Sounders.

Dempsey and Obafemi Martins were both denied by Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts earlier in the sequence with sprawling kick saves. The ball eventually landed at the feet of Gonzalo Pineda and his diagonal pass found Dempsey open in front of the net for his first goal with Seattle since April 26 against Colorado. Dempsey was kept onside on the play by Portland's Will Johnson.

Martins and Dempsey did not play in Seattle's 3-1 extra-time win over Portland in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals earlier this week. Having a pair of fresh legs leading Seattle's attack was noticeable in the second half.

"It really gave us a lot of problems when iMartinsl and Dempsey went up top," Johnson said."It was a tough matchup that we did our best to contain. But eventually, they broke us down."

Marco Pappa added his second goal of the season in the 86th minute on a counter attack moments after Portland's Gaston Fernandez hit the outside of the goalpost with his attempt. It was Pappa's second goal this week against the Timbers after scoring the final tally in the U.S. Open Cup victory.

Netherlands tops Brazil for third place BRASILIA, Brazil iAPl — When it was all over, it was the Netherlands receiving a standing ovation from the Brazilian crowd. Brazil walked off the field to boos, after another demoralizing loss to end its home World Cup. The Netherlands' remarkable campaign ended on a high note after Robin van Persie and Daley Blind scored early goals to help give the team a 3-0 win over Brazil in the third-place game on Saturday.

SA — BAKER CITY HERALD

BRIEFING Hamilton transfers to 6A Oregon City When Baker opens training camp for the 2014 Greater Oregon League football season it will be without senior quarterback Ha m ilton Thomas Hamilton.

The 6-foot-3 Hamilton has transferred toClass 6A Oregon City.

A story in The Oregonian and on www.oregonlive.com said Hamilton will move to Oregon City this week and jump into the mix for the Pioneers' starting quarterback position.

The story said Hamilton began thinking of transferring during the spring, then visited Oregon City in June.

He notified Baker coach Dave Johnson ofhis decision last Tuesday.

Hamilton completed 146 of 241 passes for 1,470 yards and a dozen touchdowns last season.

LeBron returning to Cleveland Cavs CLEVELAND iAPlThe oft-maligned city of Cleveland is on quite a roll.

Cheers broke out, car horns tooted and the whoops of joyous fans filled the city's streets Friday as word spread quickly that Ohio's prodigal son, LeBron James, is returning to the Cavaliers.

The four time-NBA MVP announced Friday in an essay published in Sports Illustrated his decision to leave the Miami Heat and move his considerable talents and the prospect of an NBA championship back to Cleveland.

The free agent's decision is the latest in a run of good news for the hardworking city of Cleveland, which is mired in a 50year sports championship drought.

Earlier in the week, Republican officials announced they would be bringing their national convention and the hundreds of millions of dollars it will generate to Cleveland in 2016.

Also, the woeful Browns, which in 1964 became thelastCleveland team to win a title, grabbed headlines when theydrafted flashy quarterback Johnny Manziel in May, a move that raisedexpectations forthe team's return to its former glory.

And now James, a product of nearby Akron and St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, is returning to thefold.

By Gerry Steele Baker's American Legion baseballwood bat tournament took on an international flavor this weekend when the Perth Heat from Australia joined five western U.S. teams for the three-day afFair at the Baker Sports Complex.

The Perth squad playing in the Baker tournament is actually the Australians' junior varsity team. The varsity squad, coached by 1997 Los Angeles draft choice Steve Fish, played in the River City Classic at Boise.

Anthony has decided to remain in New York, choosing the Knicks over a number of teams which could have given him a betterchance forthe championship he craves.

The All-Star forward met with Chicago, Houston, Dallas and the Lakers, but has informed the Knicks he will return.

The Knicks offered Anthony a maximum contract worth nearly $130 million over five years.

He will leave the program for a new position in Germany in August.

Schurman said Australian rules football is the favorite sport in the country followed

"On this trip we play almost every day. In Australia, we play once a week," Schurman said.

Anthony to stay

The Perth squad arrived in Los Angeles on June 13 and will take in the majority of the West Coast before heading home.

The tour moved from Los Angeles to Sacramento to Eureka in California, and then headed north to Medford and Grants Pass

and on to Portland. While in Medford the players had the opportunity to try a zip line course.

Following the Portland stop the Heat players went whitewater rafting on the Deschutes River at Maupin beforearriving atBaker City.

The Heat defeated Baker in anearlier game before competing in the tournament.

Following the Baker City tourney, Perth will make stops in Boise, Salt Lake City, Cedar City, Utah; Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Las Vegas before returning to Los Angeles July 21 for a plane back to Australia.

Schurman said the Heat players visited the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center and took in some of the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally during the weekend. r We've enjoyed our stay in Baker," Schurman said. "The hostfamiliesand the people in the community have just been great."

Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia.

It is the fourth most populous city in Australia, with an estimated population of 1.97 million living in Greater Perth.

Here is sortof an answer for the young man standingin frontof the postoffice last Mondaymorning. He asked meif a car parked outfiuntwas thereillegallyby the fadingyellow curbing. I told him no, but that the yellow marking atone time hadindicated so, but thenitwas changed.

He wanted to know why. I felt terrible but thought fd let the questiongo; then, I thoughtbetter ofit. If I didn'tknow, I was lackirg in local history and should fmd out.

I asked one of the friendlyderks in the postoffice, but she hadn'tbeen there longenoughtoknow the answer.So,next I called Ray Crapo thmugh the Public Works office, and he gave me alogical changingofevents that I should have t houghtofmyseK~ ,R a y .

I remember something that appears never to have existed. It is frustrating, but I have thought of it off and on over the years, wondering about it.

Is there anyone out there at all who remembers a downtown building on a corner ofAdams Avenue in La Grande, perhaps a bank, that had a see-through or walk-t hrough opening between the side street (Elm) and the main street on the north side (Adams Avenue) right at the corner of the building?

Soon, blueberries were ripe forpicking.Blackberries and raspberries are next as part of aseasonalrolloutoffresh, delicious, and healthy berries grown in Oregon. Statistics support the notion that Oregon is a very berry state.

"I like to use the word 'premium' to describe our wonderful and delicious berries," says Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) Director Katy Coba."How many times are we told to eat something becauseit'sgood forus and it actuallytastesgreataswell?

Anyone who has eaten an Oregon-grown berry knows just how special it is."

Now is a great time to enjoy fresh berries, but they can be a tasteful treat year around in frozen form, canned, or as an ingredient in otherfood products.

"Oregon is well known locally and internationally for many of its agricultural products, nottheleastof which are berries," says ODA Marketing Director Gary Roth.'We grow so many different varieties and we lead the nation in production of some berries. We have developednew varietiesthat are now consumed around the world. People who live in Oregon know and appreciate the opportunity to obtain berries of very high quality, whether it's at a local farm stand or the neighborhood grocery store. Our berries are equally well received overseas,both in fresh and processed forms."

This year's berry season in Oregon got off to a quick start with a relatively warm spring. Strawberries, which are winding down, have been in harvest forseveralweeks and arethe traditional

pacesetter fortherestofthe berries. Blueberries are now bountiful with blackberries and raspberries rapidly ripening.

Later this year on the southern Oregon Coast, cranberries willbe harvested to complete the annual production cycle of the Oregon berry.

The latest U.S. Census ofAgriculture shows that Oregon is a big player in the nation's berry production. There are 1,471 farms in Oregon growing berries in general, ranking fifth in the U.S. behind California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

In termsofberry sales, Oregon ranks fourth behind California, Florida, and Wisconsin at $187 million (2012 statistics from the census).

Take theleast-toxic annroachtodealingwithvardnests

By Daniel Robison Oregon State University Extension Service

CORVALLIS — What to do about garden pests, including insects, plant diseases and weeds, can be a challenge for gardeners who want to eff ectively manage the pests without damage to the environment and human health.

The question-and-answer series below illustrates a strategy called Integrated Pest Management, a systematicapproach to identify pests and use tactics that are cultural, physical, biological or chemical.

The least toxic and effective methods are always considered first, according to Oregon State University researchers Andy Hulting, a weed control specialist, and Gail Langellotto, an entomologist. if I have pest Qproblems :How do Iinknow my garden? : Check your plants reguarly for pest damage such as missing leaves, flowers or fiuit or changes in color, texture or size.

Most plant problems in home gardens are caused by poor growing conditions, temperature extremes,

Lane County is a hub of small berry operations with 193 farms but only 345 acres in production.

The coastal counties of Coos and Curry rely exclusivelyon cranberriesfortheir berry production, with sales

at $9 million and $6.5 million respectively in the last census.

Howdo Iidentifywhatis Qcausing : the problem? : Often it's not a pest, but other problem such as sun scald or nutrient deficiencies.

"Don't apply pesticides without understanding the problem you are trying to solve," Langellotto advised "Many insects are beneficial and actually help gardens grow better.

Others do no damage." Some insect pests can be dislodged with simple methods such as shaking the plant or spraying with a high-pressure stream ofwater.

Your local OSU Extension office and its Master Gardeners can help correctly identify the culprit and at what point in the pest's life cycle it is most susceptible to control measures.

One study ranked foods for anti-oxidant value. Anti-oxidants neutralize the effects offreeradicals— those unstable compound molecules that can attack human cells and damage DNA.

"Taste is still the number one reason people buy and eat Oregon berries," says McKenzie. Without good taste, all the health benefits in the world won't do any good because people aren't

Cultural methods: Choose healthy plants that are not prone to pest problems, plant them where they will grow well and rotate where annuals are planted to avoid buildup of disease populations.

Physical methods: Pull or dig weeds and hand-pick or trap insect pestsotfofplants.Row covers designed to extend the gardening season have been found to also keep insect pests away &om plants.

Biological methods: Garden plants can attract beneficial insects, such as parasitic wasps and green lacewings, to help keep pests at bay.

Some of the more common ones are alyssum, coreopsis and sunflower. The flowers of plants in the Apiaceae family iincluding carrots, parsnips, celery, parsnip, cilantro and dill) are known to be especially good atattracting parasiticwasps and other beneficial insects.

Pesticides labeled "Caution" are the least toxic to humans, 'Warning" are more toxic, and "DangerPoison" iwith a skull and crossbones), are the most toxic. The law requires that you read the label.

Be sureto wear protectiveclothing, especiall y eye protection,glovesand long pants.

Pestici des are more concentrated than they used to be, according to Hulting, and are made for very specific uses.'You might need only a fractionofan ounce to treata large area or number of plants, perhaps less than in previous years," he said.

Bemocralsscourrecords for grovocativecomments The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — As the nation's midsection has grown more conservative and Republican, Democrats have sometimes had to rest their hopes on well-positioned GOP contenders imploding with their own politically offkey statements.

It worked like a charm for Democrats in 2012 when Republican candidates in Indiana and Missouri blew winnable Senate races after provocative comments on rape and abortion.

But with less than four months until the 2014 election, Democrats are still waiting for new bombshells and growing more anxious about the lack of incendiary material as they try to hold enough Senate seats to keep control of the chamber. Party researchers are diligently scrubbingevery transcript and public comment for a hint of fringe language that might spook moderate or independentvoters. ''When you get a gift like that, you dream about another gift," said Carter Wrenn, a North Carolina Republican strategist ,referring to the 2012 Missouri and Indiana Senate results.

The best Democrats have come up with so far is Iowa Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst's avowed belief in a possibl ethreat toAmerican property rights posed by an obscureglobal development concept known as Agenda 21.

Some conservatives see the conceptas theharbinger ofa United Nations takeover.

"Agenda 21 is a horrible idea,"Ernsttold a rural county GOP audience in November: The non-bindingresolution, signed by Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1992, urges nations to conserve open land and steer development toward more populous areas.

Ernst said last year:"The implications we could have here is moving people off their agricultural land and consolidating them into city centers, and then telling them'youdon'thaveproperty rights anymore.'These are all things that the UN is behind, and it's bad for the United States and bad for families here in the state of Iowa."

tive Iowa Republican strategist, said Ernst' scharacterization "is a problem for our party." Conspiracy theories aren't good campaign issues, she said.

"I don't know why she'd say that," said Geddes, a senior Iowa adviser to Mike H uckabee's 2008 presidential campalgn.

The Iowa Democratic Party has been citing the remark, and Ernst's calls for impeaching President Barack Obama, in press releases in hopes ofbuilding a case that Ernst's views are outside the mainstream.

It's not clear whether they are having an impact in her raceagainstDemocrat Bruce Braley, which appears to be close.
