I-84Accident

ta man urtin reewascras Policesuspect driver fatigue caused a one-vehicle crash that seriously injured a West Valley, Utah, man and closed the eastbound freeway lanes for about 20 minutes early Sunday morning. Mark Howland, 23, was listed in fair condition today at St. Mary Medical Center at Walla Walla, Wash., a hospital spokeswoman said. The eastbound lanes of the freeway were closed for about 20 minutes to allow a Life Flight helicopter to land. Howland was flown by Life Flight to the Walla Walla hospital, police said. Howland was hurt when his 2006 Kia Spectra went off the eastbound lanes on Interstate 84 and onto the left shoulder at Milepost 282 near the Wolf Creek

The Baker City Council last week stepped into the debate regarding a longrange forest management plan that has already come under fire from elected county leaders across Eastern Oregon. Baker County already officially issued its rejection of a draftproposal ofthe plan last week and on Friday, City Manager Mike Kee delivereda letterofsupport for the county's stance to the U.S. Forest Service office in town. Friday was the deadline for comments and official objections to the plan. "Itwas a one-page letter that talks about the economics, the watershed, we more or less support the document the county put together," Kee said. The county already voiced its concerns about the plan in a 90-plus-page document. The county approved a resolution last week in opposition to the forest plan. The county's objections center on the plan itself and the blueprint's draft Environmental Impact Statement. See CounciIIPage 6A

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 18, 1964 Photo: FIRST BOXCAR — Of plywood manufactured in the new Ellingson Lbr. Co. plant in Baker is loaded and ready to move to its consumer destination. Officials said yesterday that lay-up gluing operations and drying operations have been under way for some time, with green end production expected to commence sometime in the near future, possibly next week. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 18, 1989 The BakerCounty Planning Commission Wednesday night overturned Planning Director Diane Stone's decision that Ash Grove West Cement must get a conditional use permit to burn shredded tires as a supplementary fuel source. By a vote of 3-2, the commission decided the plant could continue its cement operations and that tire burning is part of making cement. Commissioners Mary Lou Sackos, Harley Derrick and Howard Brooks voted to overturn Stone's decision. Chairman John Brown and Commissioner Joe Dethloff voted to uphold her June decision. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 18, 2004 If the Red Cross office in Baker City didn't house one of the nation's premiere charitable aid organizations, it might qualify for charity itself. The office has no air conditioning, or even screens in the windows, to counteract the summer heat. In the winter, poor electrical wiring forces workers to choose between using the computers and turning on the space heaters. "It's not the most ideal situation, but it's all we can afford," Executive Director Beverly Higley said of the $200 per month space at the YMCA on Church Street. At their current rate of income, they might not be able to afford even that. This week, the Eastern Oregon Chapter of the American Red Cross is sending out letters that implore past supporters to make another infusion into the Red Cross' funds. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 26, 2013 The Class of 1943 took a cruise down memory lane as vintage cars prowled Baker City over the weekend. A dozen Baker High School alumni made it to the reunion that was seven decades in the making. There are 25 surviving members out of 103 who graduated. About 40 friends and family along with the classmates filled the banquet room at the Sunridge Inn on Saturday. There was also a reception on Friday and a Sunday morning breakfast. Those in attendance came from all over the country.

Sanitary it would be less expensive to truck trash to Baker City instead. That's a much shorter trip from Grant County. In the case of Wallowa County, Rahn's Sanitary of Enterprise might be interested in trucking waste to Baker Sanitary's landfill, at least temporarily. According to Baker Sanitary's application, taking waste from Grant and Wallowa counties would have a"quite small" effect on the company's landfill capacity.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Lawmakers may run for oKce for all the right reasons. They want to help their neighbors live better lives. In the case of candidates for the Oregon Legislature, they want to make their state a better place to live. Once in the Legislature, they gather a smattering of knowledge about all sorts of issues and, with luck, become really well-informed about a handful of them. Exceptionally smart ones recognize the difference between the two and rely on the real experts when they're asked to make decisions about the former. How best to deal with Oregon's greater sage grouse population is one of those former issues for many if not most lawmakers. Aker all, 52 of 60 state representatives live west of the summit of the Cascades, where no sage grouse are found. Yet it's no wonder that some of those west-side lawmakers might think ending the annual sage grouse hunt might be a good idea. They've heard that the federal government is being asked to consider providing protection for the bird under the Endangered Species Act. They may know the lengths to which the state and east-side residents are going to prevent that listing by ensuring that habitat is not lost, among other things. And they may think that there are so few of the birds leR that the loss of any to a hunter is a bad thing. OKcials at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife say otherwise. They note that hunting limits are set to ensure that no more than 2.5 percent of the sage grouse population is killed in any year, well below the annual replacement rate of chicks and adults. Equally important, the state asks hunters to send it wings of birds that have been killed. The wings provide a broad range of information to scientists about the animals'health. In addition, they allow scientists to determine the male-to-female ratio each year. Ending hunting would end the gathering of that information and the insight it gives into the birds' overall health. Those considering a ban would be wise to consult with the scientists at ODFW before going further with the idea.

Every time President Barack Obama thinks he has succeeded in establishing restraint as the central doctrine ofhis foreign policy, a new outburst of chaos in the Middle East draws him back in. In 2011, fears that Libya's Moammar Kadafi would massacre opponents led the United States into an air war. In 2013, Syria's use of chemical weapons against civilians almost drew Obama into another. Now it's Iraq, where the president thought he had disentangled the United States, only to see a new threatarisein theform ofthe terrorist army of the Islamic State. Last week, when Obama first announced that he had ordered military action against the Islamists, his language was all about limits. These were "targetedairstrikes, "he said,with carefully limited goals: protecting American personnel in Kurdistan and rescuing terrified displaced Iraqis on Mt. Sinjar. But it didn't take long for the mission to grow. By the weekend, Obama was already talking about"a broader strategy in Iraq," one that would help a new, improvedgovernment in Baghdad repel the fighters of the Islamic State entirely. ''We will continue to provide militaryassistance and advicetotheIraqi government and Kurdish forces as they battl e theseterrorists,sothatthe terrorists cannot establish a permanent safe haven," he said, and added, 'This is goingtobe a long-term project." To the inattentive, that might have lookedlike anew speed record for"m ission creep," the familiar tendency for U.S. military interventions to expand from modest goals to big ones. But in fact, the larger mission was already implicit in American policy — even though Obama, still a reluctant warrior, was more comfortable talking about limits than goals. The Obama Doctrine, which has evolved through painful trial and error

DOYLE MCMANUS isee Libya and Syria), says the United States won't use military force except when vital U.S. interests are threatened. But the "vital interest" exceptions Obama has cited include international terrorism, other threats to U.S. citizens and genocide— and allthree arepresentin Iraq. Indeed, the stakes in this war are immeasurably larger than the safety of Americans in Kurdistan ithey could have been evacuated) or even the lives of thousands of Iraqi Yazidis on a mountain ialthough, yes, they deserved rescue too). The fighters of the Islamic State "make ... al-Qaida look like Boy Scouts," Ryan Crocker, the former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, warned recently in an interview with PBS's "Frontline.""They are far stronger; they are far more numerous. They have thousands iof members) who hold foreign passports and require no visas to get into the United States or other Western countries.... And they now control far more territory exclusively than iOsama) bin Laden ever did." "This is not a group that can go halfway," Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told an audience at the Aspen Institute last month. 'They use brutality in a way that's quite remarkable, even in the realm of terrorist organizations.... The United States military does consider ithem) a threat — initially to the region and our close allies, longer term to the United States of America." So, yes, Obama was right to act forcefully, even under his own doctrine of maximum restraint. But the Obama Doctrine isn't the same thing as an Obama strategy. Has the president

charted clear goals in Iraq, and a clear path to reach them? Not entirely. Obama has outlined some fi rststeps:He'strying toforce Iraq's feuding politicians to form a more inclusive government than the Sunnihating autocracy of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. iHow? By withholding military help from Baghdad while giving aid to the Kurds, whom Baghdad hates.) He wants that new government, which doesn't yet exist, to win wider international backing, and to rebuild the Iraqi army into a force that can beat the Islamic State on the ground. Dempsey, with a military officer's precision, fills in the gaps We are preparing a strategy ... ito) initially contain, eventually disrupt and finally defeat iislamic State) over time," he said. iThe general artfully borrowed his language from Obama's 2009 description of U.S. goals in the struggle against al-Qaida, when the president said he wanted to "disrupt, defeatand dismantle" theterrorist group.) At this point, Dempsey's clear goals are only a proposal; the strategy is still a work in progress. Major questions remain unanswered: Exactly what will be the role of U.S. military forces? What if Iraq's leaders don't succeed in forming a more inclusiveand effectivegovernment? iThe Islamic State will still be there, still a threat.) And what about Syria, where the Islamic State took root before expanding into Iraq? Even without American boots on the ground,Obama has entered theUnited States in its fourth Iraq war. It won't be over quickly. As the president said, this is going to be a long-term project. Doyle McManus isacolumnist forThe Los Argeles Times.

GUEST OPINION

Federal forest management suffers Editorial from Albany Democrat-Herald: The Oregon Department of Forestry's recent announcement that the timber harvest from statelands topped 4 billion board feet in 2013 was good news. The news was welcomed with particular enthusiasm by Linn County commissioners — indeed, by county officials throughout the state— because itmeans the countiescollecta larger amount in timber payments. From August 2013 to May 2014, Linn County received payments of about $2.3 million. As timber harvests increaseon state lands,so do the payments to counties — and, these days, every additional dollar helps. But the other shoeincreasingtimber harvests

on land owned by the federal government — has yet to drop. Much-ballyhooed deals to slice through the entanglements surrounding our federalforestremain stalled in Congress — no big surprisethere,considering theoverallim potence ofour current congressional session. In the meantime, rural communities that depended on a sustainable and responsibleharvest oflumber from federalforestlands continue to languish. And federal forestland badly in need of thinning languishes as well, increasing the risk of devastating fires. iThe current fire season, as perhaps you have noticed, is shaping up as another budget-buster.) The federal government didpropose logging some Southern Oregon forests that

•

were swept by wildfire last year. Environmental groups have gone to court to block the plans; the groups say two dozen northern spotted owls are at risk. Meanwhile, private landowners in the area started loggingoperations assoon as the fires were contained in September. News of the state timber harvest is especially welcome, not just on its own terms but as an additional bitofevidence ofeconomic recovery, albeita recovery that still seems sluggish. The 4.2 billio n board feetharvested marks a 12 percentincrease over 2012, and it's the first year in seven when the harvesthas topped 4 billion feet. The state timber harvest bottomed out at 2.7 billion board feet in 2009, about the same time that the construction

industry in Oregon pretty much had slowed to a crawl. Linn County's cut from statelands in 2013was about312 million board feet, about7 percent ofthe state total. The numbers add up to good news for Linn County, but other Oregon countiestheirlandscapes dominated by federal land — don'tgetto share equally in this bounty. No one realistically expects the timber cuts on our federallands to approach anything like the levels of the 1960s and 1970s. But no one benefits from essentially lockingup our federalforests tologging— notourforests, not our counties and certainly not the people in those counties who used to be able to count on those lands for their livelihoods.

of adultdetainees and providing stafF trained for children's issues in custody. If the county can't meet all the requirements, the back-up plan would be to move the proceeding to Malheur County. Defense attorney Katherine 0. Berger favored moving the case, noting there is a youth facility nearby in Ada County, Idaho, and more stafF trained for youth available to her client there. Grant County District Attorney Ryan Joslin opposed the move, saying the added distance would be a

of the county's land mass. Last week, during the regular City Council session, Baker County Commission Chairman Fred Warner Jr.spoke to the elected board and gave a short, but detailed briefing to the councilorsregarding the county's stance on the issue. W arner tol d the elected board that a new forest plan is needed. However, the draftplan framed by the ForestService needs a lotof revision, he said,adding that the county would ask the Forest Service to withdraw the draft plan and startover with input from Eastern Oregon counties. "The 1990 forest plan the Forest Service is working under, backin 1990,itwas a pretty good plan. But they've put inmany, many amendments that has caused the Forest Service not to m anage the forestsatall. It is being managed by no management at all," Warner told the councilors. Another potential issue,

hardshipforwitnesses and relatives of thevictim expected to attend. Most alreadyhave totravel to getto Grant County, but Malheur is even farther, he noted. The judge said the hearing would be setforthe same dates in either place, but the court must ensure legally sufficient housing for the teen. Prattasked Tirico toreportback to the courtas soon as possible. "If it's possible to do it in Grant County, let's do it in Grant County," Pratt said."But we need some certainty."

Warner said, was a"one-sizefits-all" theme to the entire plan that is not workable. "The new forest plan was forthe three nationalforests. And we believe it should just be for the Wallowa-Whitman becauseeach forestisdifferent," he said. Yet Warner said the largest problem with the draft plan is its tone. "It is not about multiple use. They talk a lot about multiple use but it is on an ecological basis. The plan callsfor doing nothing over a widely expanding area ofthe nationalforest,"Warner said He said the county's comments on the plan pivot around a key theme: Use. "One of the biggest issues is 250,000 acres on the Wallowa-Whitman as nonmotorized. That being the startingpoint ofthe plan is a deal killer,"Warner said. He said the problem is not addingmore restrictions. ''We don't need further protections. There isn't much resource damage going on

right now." Another major forest danger is wildfire and Warner said the plan simply does not address that risk. "They have not addressed wildfire in the plan," he told the City Council. The issues don't end there for the county, Warner said. "The stream bufFers, they're talking about expanding the buffers on streams.We don'tbelieve there should be any expansion. They're using old science," he said Mining is also a concern, Warner said. ''We comment a lot on mining because it (the draft plan) is very inconsistent on mining laws," he said. ''Watersheds — the forest plan is trying to regulate waterand that isa state function. The riparian areas we don't believe need any new regulations." The Council quickly decidedtoparticipatein the processand to draft a letter in support.

WilsonleadsSeahawkstowinover Chargers 'Hmilers settle fortie By Tim Booth

AP Sports Wrlter

SEATTLE — Russell Wilson's first appearance at home since hoisting the Lombardi Trophy looked very similar to Seattle's Super Bowl domination, even in a limitedperformance. Wilson threw for 121 yards and ran for two touchdowns, leading Seattle to scoreson allfourofhis possessions as the Seahawks beat the San Diego Chargers 41-14 on Friday night. "I definitely believe we can be that explosive," Wilson said."It starts first of all with the offensive line and how well they're doing ... but then you think about our receivers and we have so many talentedreceivers." Wilson did a little of everything. He was pressured on the first snap of the game and avoided it to complete a pass. He scrambled when the pressure created clear running lanes. He threw sharp passes to open receivers and he operatedSeattle'soffense with an efficiency missing in itspreseason opener at Denver. W ilson completed 11 of 13 passes, and connected on his first eight attempts. He ran for another 31 yards as Seattle finished the first half with 260 yards of offense, 255 of those with Wilson at quarterback. Wilson was the first act. Terrelle Pryor and B.J. Daniels added their own chapters on a night Seattle's quarterbacks combined for four touchdowns rushing. Pryor got an extended look in the competition to back up Wilson and showed why Seattleis so enticed.Pryorwas 1 of 4 passing, but ran away from San Diego's defense

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. iAPl — Liam Ridgewell scored his first career MLS goal for Portland in the Timbers' l-l tie with the New England Revolution on Saturday night. Ridgewell stole the ball near midfield, dribbled past two defenders and slotted home a shot from inside the penalty area in the 65th minute. He

Seattle Seahawks runing back RobertTurbin leaps over the San Diego Chargers defense during a carry in the first quarter of preseason action Friday at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. on a 44-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. Daniels added a 6-yard TD run. Marshawn Lynch made hispreseason debut for allof two plays before giving way to backups Robert Turbin and Christine Michael. Lynch held out of the first week of training camp and did not touch the ball in his two snaps.Seattle did get some ofitsotherstarsinvolved, including Percy Harvin, who had four receptions for 31 yards after catching fivepasses alloflastseason. Turbin finished with 81 yards on 12 carries. He showed open-field speed cutting back on the defense and racing for 47 yards on one carry, and displayed

power bulling in for a 1-yard touchdown. "The offense as a whole probably made some mistakes but I think overall we did well," Turbin said. "It was continuing to get better and continuing to be disciplined as a runner. It's not always going to be daylight. Sometimes you have to create some." San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers played just one series before handing off to Kellen Clemens. San Diegokept most ofitsstarting offense on the field with Clemens, but the Chargers could manage only 42 yards againstSeattle'sdefensive starters, 37 ofthosecoming on the one drive Rivers led. "There are some run-game

things I'm still working through, some checks, that I know are going to come out today. Still some things that we can improve on in the pass game, me specifically," Clemens said. Just when it seemed Wilson's night should be done, he took one more series as the Seahawks worked on their hurry-up offense. Harvin said that wasn't the plan.Seattle's starterswere supposed to be done early in the second quarter. The result: Wilson took Seattle 67 yards in under 4 minutes, capping the drive with a 5-yard touchdown scramble. ''We told Coach we were in a rhythm and wanted to stay in there," Harvin said.

The drive provided the onlymoment ofapprehension for Seattle when Doug Baldwin was knocked out of the back of the end zone on a big hit from San Diego safety Darrell Stuckey. Baldwin was slow to get up, but was laughing on the sideline when Wilson scrambled for the TD and a 24-0 Seattle

lead. Seattle also cleaned up its penalty problems from the preseason opener, when it was flagged 13 times, and was better on third down. The Seahawks were called for three penalties in the first half and were 5 of 6 on third downs. "That was about as much as we could hope for," Seattle coachPeteCarrollsaid.

Seattle Mariners atIletroit

hris Young, Marinersshut own Tigers -1 DETROIT iAPl — Chris Young pitched six shutout innings and the Seattle Mariners beat Detroit 8-1 Sunday, winning the weekend series and moving back ahead of the Tigers in the race for the second AL wild-card spot. Seattle's Lloyd McClendon, managing his first series in Detroit after serving as Jim Leyland's hitting coach, was ejected forthe second straight game. McClendon was tossed for arguing

after Detroit's Alex Avila drew a seventh-inning walk. Young i12-6l allowed four hits and a walk.He improved to 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in four career startsagainst Detroit.

Tigers rookie Robbie Ray i1-3l struggled while replacing injured Anibal Sanchez. He allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. Ray got into trouble in the first inning, walking Dustin Ackley

WNBA

with one out and then appearing to lose his concentration in middelivery. He ended up stumbling off the mound without throwing the pitch — an obvious balk. Kendrys Morales singled home Ackley, and Kyle Seager made it 2-0 with a sacrifice fly. Seattle made it 3-0 in the third, scoring on Ray's wild pitch after Victor Martinez's error at first base had kept the inning going.

Chris Denorfia's two-out triple gave the Mariners another run in the fifth, and Seattle made it 7-0 with three runs in Jim Johnson's first inning as a Tiger. Johnson, the former Baltimore relief ace who struggled this year in Oakland, recently signed a minor league contract with the Tigers. He was called up by Detroit over the weekend. Martinez drove in Detroit's only run with an eighth-inning double.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.— If Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera has his way, Cam Newton won't be running as many read-option plays as he has in the past. If Jonathan Stewart runs the way he did Sunday night, Newton won't need to. Newton made a successful return following ankle surgery, Stewart ran for two touchdowns and the Panthers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-16 in a preseason game. Newton completed 4 of 9 passes for 65 yards and led a pair of touchdown drives before exiting late in the second quarter with Caro-

lina i1-1l up 14-6. Stewart ran for 26 yards on four carries and made a strong case to be the Panthers' goal-line back — if not their primary ball carrier — with scoring runs of 3 and 2 yards. Newton has been hit more than any quarterback in the NFL over the past three seasons and Rivera has said he'd like to reduce the wear and tear on his franchise quarterback. "If we can run the ball effectively with the backs and not have to rely on him running we would much rather do that, "Rivera said. And that's fine with Newton. "I'm trying to win football games and if that is saying, 'Cam hand the ball off every

play. Cam run the ball down the field 20 yards like a chicken with his head cut off every play. Cam drop back and throw the ball. Cam go get everybody a drinkofwater.'...W hatever is asked of me, I will do to try to win the football game," Newton said. Newton was rusty early. Carolina's first three possessions netted a yard and no first downs. Newton compoundedthe problem by overthrowing Kelvin Benjamin on a deep ball after the rookiereceiver gotbehind the secondary. But Stewart replaced DeAngelo Williams and immediately gave the Panthers a boost with a 17-yard carry around left end.

History afoot: Memories that tie today to the past As I was tying my shoes today, I wondered how many people would be doing the same thing. How many, in fact, had gone through the process of learning to tie bows in the first place. That wouldhave been one ofthe first real accomplishments in life. You had to know how to tie your own shoes before you were old enough to go to school. In this day of slip-ons, buckles, and Velcro, it seems like such a funny thing to consider, but back then it was serious stuff. Laced and tied shoes were importanttofourgroups ofpeople— the children and early teens, men, and the old women. The late teens and middleaged women were then into slip-on pumps when out in public. High school girls, and some boys alike,wore saddle shoes with two colors, black and white or brown and white. These were considered classy. But, basically, you wore the sturdy leather brogues in brown or black oxfords. Then there were the high-laced boots. Everyone, I'm sure, must have wanted a pair of those, even the business men in town. See Dory /Page 2B

I used three bananas, which is enough for four servings. One of my friends said that her kids like it served immediately but I have found that freezing it works fine. This is one of those recipes that you can play with and fine-tune it to your liking. I have used coconut milk and dairy milk, and both worked for me.

For WesCom News Service

As the temperatures stay high, one ofthe easiestways to keep coolis with refreshing treats. Summer and ice cream go hand in hand. I love ice cream but the calories and high fat content keep it out of my freezer. If it is there, I will eat it. When I heard about banana ice cream, I definitely wanted to try it. Who knew that frozen bananas whipped up in a food processor would make a creamy delicious treat? This is a vegan, gluten-free, non dairy-allergic, nosugar-addedrecipe.Seems hard to believe it would be tasty but it is. Let's not forget the nutritional value. Bananas are creamy rich and sweet but they arealsogreatforcardiovascular health, your digestion and with a unique mix of vitamins, minerals and low glycemic carbsthey are a perfectfood forendurance athletes. Making banana ice cream keeps the guilt at bay and satisfies that sweet tooth. W hat could be better? You can use one banana or as many as four, dependingon how much you want to make.

Banana Ice Cream 3 Large ripe bananas, they should be sweet and soft 1/2 to 1 Cup fresh fruit (I used cherries) 1/4 to 1/2 Cup coconut milk or dairy milk

Peelthe bananas and cutthem up,then freeze until frozen, at least 2 hours. Blend in a food processor or blender with the coconut milk until you get a smooth creamy texture. Add the cherries and serve immediately.You can add peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips or nuts. If you would like to make chocolate flavor, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Another variation is to add a teaspoon of cinnamon, cardamom or ginger. Enjoy!

• Students at Oak Haven school in La Grande incorporate gardening in their curriculum By Dick Mason WesCom News Service

La Grande educator Ruthi Davenport is a lifelong fan and student of children's literature. Her favorit e children'sbooks include Eve Meriam's "The Wise Woman and Her Secret." The 1991work is about a woman whose wisdom is obtained in part by the sense of curiosity and wonderment a flower garden sparks within her. Davenport, like the character in Meriam's book, shares this sense of garden wonderment. She sees gardens as places where youngminds bloom and become fertile with questions and curiosity. "A garden can be a wonderful context for an early reading and writing experience," said Davenport, who is the head of school at Oak Haven, a preschool which uses the Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies. Davenport, an emerita Eastern Oregon University education professor, founded Oak Haven in 2011. The school's features include two gardens where sunflowers,carrots,tomatoes, beans, peas and lettuce are grown. The gardenisan integralpartofthe school, one which has been offering one-week literacy camps for childrenage 6 to 9 and preschool sessions throughout the summer. Children visit the garden regularlyforclasssessions and spend one session a week at the Avella Orchard on Fir Street as part of summer sessions at Oak Haven. Children in these settings learn about numbers and graphing by measuring plants and their growth, and they develop literacy skills by writing their observationsofplantsand other elements of Oak Haven's gardens.

"They learn the cycle of nature," Davenport said. Davenport is assisted atOak Haven by co-teacher Beth Wasley and Stefanie Duncan, who is completing an internship. Oak Haven students also receive instruction from Danae Yurgel and David Tift at Avella Orchard. Davenport hopes that the knowledge of gardening and ecology the students are gaining will help them become advocates for the environment when they get older.

Is there anything more American than the state fair? Small-town pride. Prizewinning bulls. Proud children showing off their favoriteponies and sheep. State fairs are so American, they even have a contest for the bestapplepie. Some of us go for the music. Some go for the exhibits. Some go for the rides. But let's be frank: A lot of us go for the food. Fair food is a world unto itself, a secret,guilty place we visit to indulge in the foods that we would never ordinarily consume, the artery-clogging, brain-rotting, heartstopping, certain-death foods thattaste soooo good even while you suspect they may not be the healthiest things you could eat. Only at a fair would you even think of trying a deepfried Twinkie or Snickers bar. Only at a fair would anyone ever serve deep-fiied

DORY Continued from Pcge 1B Living in a rural area with lots of ground upon which to walk, the need was great against the weather conditions and one's own backyard where you kept a milk cow, rabbits,chickens, hogs and such. Or, there were the hunters, workmen and fishermen.Each type ofduty had itsown serviceable shoe. Since we were limited in the number of pairs of shoes we had, they each had to be treated properly to last. Iwanted a pairofboots like my dad's, the ones with leather thong laces and metal eyelet brackets. I loved lacing or unlacing them for him when he wasn't in a hurry, and I loved the smell when he rubbed in the waterrepellentgrease to keep them supple and waterproof.

I remember that when I first got my new shoes the laceatthefarend ofthe tongue crossed over and under, then up and into the next metal hole on each side and to the top. I would systematically remove the lace and put it under the lacing holes to be out of sight, then bring it up and under the hole, across the opening and under and up through the next hole, working back and forth. I have no idea why I thoughtit didn't look good to expose the laceatthebottom. Itseemed indecent. Now I wonder if it was plain stubbornness that no one was going to tell me how to lace my own shoes. My dream to own a pair of high-toppedbootsbecame a reality years and yearslater, even after I was married and had children. In fact, I had three sons. When we moved to Edelweiss Acres, they were each fitted with a pair of high-t opped bootsjustlike their Dad's to do the chores and run the hills. The boots were a little lighter weight than those the menhad worn, butthey werejustasserviceable and worn for everyday use, then changed for school, town, and church.

He said St. Louis County, Mo., Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch, who has publicly criticized Nixon's decision to send the Missouri Highway Patrol into Ferguson, has an opportunity to "step up here and do his job."

Nixon said he did not know how long the investigation would take. "I will let the prosecutor speak for himself on what his time frame is, other than I know when I talked to Attorney General Holder that the response to that was to bring 40 additional agents into the region to accelerate those interviews," Nixon said on CNN."Everybody is working really, really hard.
