The Oregon Trail InterpretiveCenter was the site of an historical wagon camp re-enactment this weekend, playing host to demonstrationsof blackpowder shooting, Dutch-oven cooking, dancing, and more.

Ox handler "Bullwhackin' Kass," also known as Sheryl Curtis, was on hand to explain how oxen were used to haul wagons along the Oregon Trail's 2,200 miles.

Curtis, of Okanogan, Washington, had two oxen with her this weekend, Saul and Job, ages 17 and 11. The two forma gargantuan team, with a combined weight of 6,538 pounds.

Curtis said that oxen, despitebeing commonly understood as a particularbreed of stout, sturdy working bovine, aren't a breed at all. "iThat they're called oxen) only means thatthey'retrained to work," she said.

Curtis said that while oxen are usually steers, bulls are also used.

"If there's no cow inearbyl there's no problem," she said.

As the wagons on the trail were prone to accidents, and since some branches of the trail passed unpalatable grass and water too alkaline for the oxen, Curtis said that it was a rare thing for the animals to survive the whole trip.

The BLM plans to finish this fall a detailed study of Idaho Power Company's proposed Boardman-toHemingway power transmission line.

The BLM's draft environmental impact statement iDEISl will analyze several possible routesforthe300mile line, which is slated to pass through Baker County.

Idaho Power, based in Boise, initially planned to build the line in the middle of this decade, but earlierthisyear the company pushed back its estimatedcompletion date to "2020 or beyond."

Boardman-to-Hemingway — commonly called B2Hhas beencontroversialsince Idaho Power first announced the proposal several years

ago. r

A group of local residents, dubbing themselves Move Idaho Power, organized to oppose routes that would put the power line close to Baker City and to the Oregon Trail InterpretiveCenter.

Janet Braymen from Burns demonstrated the instrument, which was invented in 700A.D. and was brought to America in the 1700s from immigrants from Europe. Janet was accompanied for the day by Helen Sargent on her mandolin.

Baker County weather rarelyconforms tothe edicts ofthe equinoxes.

Offlcially, fall doesn't arrive for almost three weeks.

But August's final breath, as it were, felt decidely autumnal.

The cold front that spawned a boisterous thunderstorm Saturday afternoon in Baker City also ushered in the coolest air since the summer solstice.

Sunday's high temperature of 68 degrees at the Baker City Airport was was the lowest in almost 2V2 months.

It was the coolest day since June 18, when the high was 61.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 1, 1964 The city council has informally authorized an engineering firm to proceed with preparing an application for federal matching funds for a general study of Baker.

The engineering firm of Cornell, Howard, Hayes, and Merryfield was authorized to do the work last night during an informal joint council-planning commission meeting.

Lloyd Anderson, representing the firm, told the group that the study, which would include base maps, land-use maps, land-use plan, a street plan, suggested zoning ordinances, and suggested subdivision legislation would cost about $15,000.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 1, 1989 Baker's positive qualities and progressive attitude were extolled by speakers atThursday's 5J School District staff appreciation luncheon at the Kopper Kitchen.

About 80 local businessmen and individuals sponsored the Baker County Chamber of Commerce luncheon for school district teachers and administrators.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 1, 2004 Don't call it demolition, or even a salvage operation.

Call it what the National Guard calls it: "reverse construction techniques."

That's what's been going on at the former site of the Community Center on Campbell Street, said Sgt. 1st Class Stacy Heathcock of the1249th Engineering Battalion in Salem, who's leading a group of six engineers from the Innovative Readiness Training Program.

That's the group charged with taking down and salvaging pieces of what's become the former Community Center building. The engineers began their workAug. 9 and plan to finish by Saturday at the latest.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 9, 2013 Television shows such as"Ghost Mine" capture the imaginations of people who swear someday they'll strike it rich.

But the reality is that gold prices have fallen substantially in the past year or so, Baker County Commissioner Tim Kerns said last week.

Interest in reworking the Sumpter Valley Dredge tailings for leftover gold has greatly subsided since the idea resurfaced in 2011, the commissioners have been told.

Sumpter Mining and Exploration LLC announced last month it was no longer interested.

So did Yellow Eagle Mining LLC, which is run by Bill Steeves and Ed Netherton.

Steeves and Nettles submitted a report to the county in 2011 explaining their interest in dredging to pull up remaining gold. Their theory was that only 40 percent of the gold was extracted from the tailings.

OXEN Continued ~om Page1A "I don't know how they could make a hundred miles," Curtis said."It was that brutal."

Curtis said that if oxen did make it the whole way, they'd sometimes be used for plowingif they had any strength left.

Fast forward a couple hundred years, and Curtis raises her oxen from birth. She said that once a team of oxen gets used to working with a particular person, they don't see any reason to listen to anyone else.

She also said that hers grow anxious and bellow when she leaves them for the evening on these trips.

So is there some kind of connection that binds oxen to their handler, like ducklings to their mother?

Curtis doubts that.

"I don't think it's love," Curtis said."Theyjustknow that I controlthegrain barrel."

voters will have quite a bit of say over the makeup of the stateLegislature.

Democrats currently have a 16-14edge in the state Capitol's upper chamber.

A Democratic-held seat in Medford and a Republican seat in Albany and Corvallis will be ground zero in the fight for control of the Senate, and bothpartiesare trying to find a handful of other races where they might be competitive.

SHRINIGNG POLITICAL PARTIES The Republican and Democratic partiesare shrinking.

Since the 2010 election, the number of registered voters has expanded 4 percent. But the number of Democrats has dropped 5.2 percent and the number of Republicans has dropped 1.5 percent.

Meanwhile, the number of voters who are unailiated or registered with a minor party has jumped 24 percent in the last four years.

STATE HOUSE UNLIKLEY TO FLIP For all the intrigue over control of the Senate, the state House is unlikely to flip.

Democrats have a healthy 34-26 advantage and the help of district boundaries that favor their incumbents.

They could gain or lose seats in the election, and Republicans are fighting hard to make inroads. But absent a massive Republican wave, flipping up five seats to grab the majority is a tall order for

0 C I1OOI1 Ballot Measure 90 on the Nov. 4 statewide ballot would help to solve one problem we have the way many of Oregon's primary elections are conducted.

But the measure would create an even greater problem in general elections, which is why we urge Oregonians to reject it this fall.

Measure 90would create a"top two" primary, similar to the system both Washington and California use.

All voters could cast a ballot in the primary. That's not the case now in some cases, including this spring's two Baker County Commissioner races.

Because all four candidates in those two races are Republicans, only registered Republicans, who make up about 46 percent of the county's electorate, voted.

We're in favor of ending the practice of such "closed" primaries, which can leave more than half of a county's or district's voters with an empty slot on their ballot.

But Measure 90 would do more than that. The "top two" means the two candidates who finish first and second in the primary both advance to the general election. Party aKliation, or lack thereof, doesn't matter — if both are Republicans, or both are Democrats, those two, and only those two, will be on the ballot for the general election.

That's a recipe for voter apathy in the general election.

There are many districts in Oregon where it's a near guarantee, under a top two primary, that both candidates in the general election would be from the same party.

It's inevitable, in such cases, that voters from the other party — in addition to independents and voters aKliated with a minor party — would have little incentive to, in eA'ect, choose &om the lesser of two evils.

We need to encourage voters to participate.

Measure 90 does the opposite.

Your views No golf course = no visit from President Obama If any readers wonder why President Obama has not gone to Ferguson, Missouri, to try to calm down the rioting crowds,itisbecause Ferguson does nothavea golfcourse.

What a pity!

on'tuse c i The talk" hasbecome a riteofpassage.

It's that moment when parents sit down with their black and brown boys to explain to them the limits of their treedoms and how their conduct in public places will not be given the same laxity as that of their white peers.

In the past months, more white colleagues and fiiends have shared with me theirexpressions ofsurpriseand sincere condolence as they have come to realize how racialized parenting has become.

But I have a cautionary note. We cannot afford to make our children part of the spectacle. It is a risk that is not always worth the lesson. It does not always produce the result we anticipate.

Iwroteabout the spectacle 20years ago inmy book"Codes ofConduct: "Early in 1981, I joined the members of my AME church in our small Michigan community as we wrapped black armbands around our children's slender arms and solemnly marched from Sunday school to the church service expressingour collectivegriefoverthe m urders and disappearances ofblack youth in Atlanta. Their tiny figures were dwarfed as they entered the massive sanctuary, and their procession on the winter Sunday echoed for me, back to the decades-old anti-war and civil rights marches ... We had chosen our children as a visible symbol ... branding them with our understanding of the lesson we knew they would learn despite our intervention ...

Our purpose had been to help them understand their membership in a national community ... who cared about .

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial kom The (Bend) Bulletin: Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, is mad. A proposed new rule fiom the state's Water Resources Department, he says, was etfectively sprung on the region withoutthesortofpublicnoticethatgenerates full discussion of an exttemely sensitive subject.

The county, in a second year of drought, is one of nine in the state to receive an emergencydeclaration fiom the governor earlier this year. The declaration allows for greater flexibilityin managing water to ensure that there's enough for people and animals.

Water Resources did just thatwith a temporaryrule that expires Sept. 27. That rule cannot be extended unless the depart-

ment begins work to create a permanent rule, which it has done. And that's where Whitsett and the department begin to butt heads.

Water — who gets it and when — is THE issue in the Klamath Basin, where theie's not always enough of the stuff for all who wantit. It tookyears to work out a settlement aimed at keeping all sides at least willing to go along with division of water, an accomplishment thatcame only this year.

The current drought adds a new wrinkle. Users with senior rights, established by the court, stand firstin line when theie's not enough water to go around, and those with lesser rights may have to give up use of wells and surface water as are-

sult. The new rule proposed by the Water Resources Department would give junior users the right to continue taking water for human consumption and livestock As the law requires, the department published notification ofits proposed rule in the state's online Oregon Bulletin. What it apparently did not do is make sure that Whitsett and other public ot5cials in the county were told specifically about the changes, nor about a public hearingon the proposal that was held in late July.

The department must do better than that. Water is the key to livelihood in the Klamath Basin, and its citizens must be given notice about potential changes, even if that means doing more than the law requires.

Baker's cross country teams enter the season dealing with different situations.

The boys team is hurting for numbers, while the girls arelooking tochallenge for this year's district crown.

"The boys enter the season as two-time defending GOL champions," said Baker coach Michael Knutson.

"However, we lost 6 boys including 5 seniors from last year's team. That's a lot of shoes to fill."

Knutson said the Bulldogs currently have three boys on the roster.

Junior Taylor Hawes placed 12th at district last year.

"He is our team leader and we expect him to be in the top 5 this year.," Knutson said.

"He's a hard worker and isalready in bettershape than he was at the start of last season.

Timbersshut out Whitecaps 3-0

College Footdall

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Alvas Powell, Maximiliano Urruti and RodneyWallace scored in the second half in the PortlandTimbers' 3-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night.

Portland (8-8-10) moved into fifth place in the Western Conference, a point ahead of Vancouver (7-6-12). The top five will earn playoff spots.

Powell opened the scoring in the 51st minute. Diego Valeri threaded a ball into the box and the unmarked Powell headed it past goalkeeper David Ousted.

Urruti, a second-half substitute, scored in the 75th, taking a pass from Michael Harrington and blasting a shot that hit the crossbar and fell into the net behind Ousted.

Wallace made it 3-0 in the 79th, slipping behind the defense and converting a pass from Darlington Nagbe.

No. 25 Washington edges Hawaii 17-16

By Oskar Garcia Associated Press

HONOLULU — A win was about all Chris Petersen got in his coaching debut with No. 25 Washington. Questions about the Huskies' offense will continue into next week after Saturday night's 17-16 victory at Hawaii.

Jeff Lindquist completed just 10 passes while filling in for a suspended Cyler Miles, earning most ofhis yards on onelong play.Lavon Coleman and Dwayne Washington split carries in a mediocre rushing game. And Washington punted on eight of nine possessions in the second half, every one except its final snaps to run out the clock. sWe didn't play nearly as well as we think we can play," said Petersen, who left Boise State to take over Washington. "I think it's going to be a big wake-up call."

Petersen said he would make a decision early next week.

Hawaii managed two field goals for the only scoring in the second half. It finished with 424 yards of offense. sWe had our chances both offensively and defensively," Hawaii coach Norm Chow said.'We played with a lot of energy, which I thought we would."

Washington's defense improved after struggling early and spotting Hawaii a 10-0lead on itsfi rsttw o possessions. The Rainbow Warriors lost the advantage in one quick second-quarter burst, turning the ball over on downs and then allowing the Huskies' secondlongest pass play in school history.

Hawaii's Joey Iosefa rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown.

SEATTLE (AP) — Clint Dempsey is scoring again for the Seattle Sounders.

Dempsey converted off a corner kick in the 52nd minute and the Sounders beatthe Colorado Rapids 1-0 on Saturday to extend their overall MLS lead.

Dempsey has scored in consecutive game for the Sounders (157-3) after a five-match drought.

91-yard catch, and Washington held off the Rainbow Warriors despite giving Hawaii repeated chances for the upset.

"Itwas realfrustrating,"Ross said.

"People might think I'm pleased with my first-half performance, but I'm not because we left so many points on the field, butwe have to getbetter and we will."

Lindquist threw for 162 yards in his first start for Washington. Miles was suspended for the game for his role in an offseason fight.

But most of Lindquist's total came on the big play to Ross. He was 3 for 15 in the second half for 28 yards.

Asked whether he thought he did enough to earn another start, Lindquist said it's up to Petersen and the other coaches.

"Obviously I want to do my best to help this team wherever I can, whether that's starting or whether that's sup-

year, our girls are hungry for another shot at our district opponents," Knutson sard.

With three returning seniors — Matea Huggins, Anna Payton and Katie Sandefur — Knutson said the Bulldogs "will be in greatshape to challenge a strong La Grande team for the GOL title.

"Matea was a top-10 finisher at districts in 2013 and we expect great leadership from her," the Baker coach said.

"Three-year letter winner Katie Sandefur this year also should provide leadership. Anna Payton took a giant leap forward between her sophomore and junior year and will be even better this year."

Newcomer Summer Phillips, a junior, joins the team from the volleyball squad.

"She isa fantastic addition to the team — she's very athletic and I suspect will be a top runner for us," Knutson said.

Sophomore Grace Huggins rounds out the team.

"She is a raw talent with tremendous competitiveness. I wouldn't be surprisedifshe and 3-4 ofher teammates finished in the top 10 at districts," Knutson sard.

Davey Peterson is back for another year as volunteerassistant coach.

"His passionfor the sport and his daily involvement with the team are invaluable to us — the team would not be the same without him," Knutson said.

"Marcus did what Marcus does,"

AP Sports Writer

EUGENE — Marcus Mariota wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the word "Success." It was a fitting w ardrobe choiceafter thisvictory.

Mariota accounted for four touchdowns in the first half of No. 3 Oregon's season-opening 62-13 win against South Dakota on Saturday night.

said running back Byron Marshall, who was Oregon's top receiver with eight catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns.

Freshman Royce Freeman, a five-star recruit out of Imperial, California, ran for 75 yards and two more scores for the Ducks, who won their 10th straight home opener.

Trevor Bouma ran for a 3-yard

TD and Miles Bergner kicked a pairoffield goalsfor the Missouri Valley's Coyotes, who went 4-8 last season. Kevin Earl completed 13 of 26 passes for 136 yards, but left in the third quarter with what coach Joe Glenn said was likely a fractured thumb.

Mariota, who opted to return to Oregon after flirting with an early departure for the NFL, threw for

3,665 yards and 31 touchdowns last season with just four interceptions. Considered among the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the country, he also rushed for 715 yards and nine scores.

Don't skimp on outdoor kids' clothes

Igk,il.

~p~., ~' * -

.

Some might wonder if outfitting kids with proper outdoor clothing really matters? To a certain point, no. In the long run, yes.

If kids are wearing clothes that keep them warm and dry, boots that keep the water out, gloves that aren't soaking wet aker a few minutes, and socks that don't bunch and get soggy, then they will be ready and able to spend more time outdoors. I'm an advocate for quality kids outdoor clothing. Not only does it keep them comfortable, but Ihave found that quality gearlasts longerthan"big box"storeclothes,so I can pass garments down to others.

The thought of getting kids outfitted with quality outdoor clothes and gear might seem daunting. Outdoor gear has a skewed reputation for being expensive.

I have a number of tapes with around three movies on each, so I usually watch just whatever comes next. Even though I have seen them all before, maybe several times, there is always something that has been forgotten in the series of events.

Even when the names of the stars have been forgotten, their faces come back to remindyou of when Hollywood was at its height of producing entertainment, first in black-and-white without sound, then in black-and-white with sound, finally with sound and full color.

The grapes give a portion of the Sinners' yard the look and feel of a vineyard. The grapes are on the south side of the Sinners' land, where there is little shade.

'They like the sun," Ed Sinner said.

The Niagara grapes complement the pumpkins, squash, boysenberries, Logan berries and raspberries the Sinners grow. Decorative plants grown by the couple include geraniums, roses, gladioluses and petunias.

That's the Plush Oregon Sunstone. Who knew?

This clear stone ranges in color &om colorless to various shades of copper, peachy orange, green, and red. It is mined in the area around Plush, Oregon, in Lake County, by the Dust Devil Mining Co. and can be incorporated into lovely pieces of jewelry. I am told that if one is in the vicinity you can mine your own Sunstone for a small fee.

At the end of the four days everyone was ready to head back home with their new memories of family, fun, and Sunriver.

ARer his passing, the Lovans took it over and that's when I remember the joy of the dance, the trays of sandwiches and hot cofFee, sleeping on the floor in the kitchen area on coats with my cousins, and the cirndar floor with benches attached to the walls. It had removable windows for air ~ tio n in the summertime and closed in the winter to keep in the

body heat.

I lost track, temporarily, of the movie, for nostalgia wrapped its arms about me and didn't want to let me go. How I wanted to be back there at that time when life seemed simple and full of wondrous things.

The spell was broken, of course, as it had to with the movement of the movie plot.

However, the dancers were still in motion and I heard the saxophone playing with the violin and I was suddenly moved &om that dance hall to one downtown, the old

Even finding a simple used fleece jacket can outfit your kids for the season, or multiple seasons, and provide them with a quality piece of gear. Of course if you can't find something specific then there's always Ebay.

'Another reason to buy quality is you might have the option of selling your clothes or gear when your kids are done.

If you got a good deal in the first place then you might get a good porlion of your money back.

I was of orjust out ofhigh school then andAmos Houle had hired me to play with his dance band on the saxophone.

As it turned out, he lost his drummer for a tim e and he had metake overthe drum, too.Ihad neverplayed drums before, but he told me I knew the beat, just hit the bass drum to keep the dancers in motion. So I did, taking up the brushes &om time to time.

My time with the danceband didn't last long, for I was on to other things and he had a return of players, but it was a fine experience

that I might not have had otherwise.

The movie had to move along with its plot and I had to move with it, but a great sadness filled me for a time remembering my loss of those years, those people, those times.

I guess it's OK for me to do that now with my age and the absence of all I have known. Sometimes it is hard to realize that I am now the "older" generation and everything around me is difFerent, filled with things that never seemed possible and some that were even unknown at the time.

I must let go. But, how?

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans are more anxious about the economy now than they were right after the Great Recession ended despite stock market gains, falling unemployment and growth moving closer to full health.

Seventy-one percent of Americans say they think the recession exerted a permanent drag on the economy, according to a survey being released last week by Rutgers University. By contrast, in November 2009, five months after the recession officially ended, the Rutgers researchers found that only 49 percent thought the downturn would have lasting damage.

And that was when the unemployment rate was 9.9 percent, compared with the current 6.2 percent.

'They're more negative than theywere fi veyearsago," professor CarlVan Horn.

The slow pace of improvement during most of the recovery, now in its sixth year, has eroded confidence and slowed a return to the pay levels that many enjoyed before the economy sufFered its worst collapse since the 1930s. About 42 percent of those surveyed say they have less pay and savings than beforetherecession began in late2007.Just7percent say they're significantly better oK The survey results dovetail with estimates that the median household income was
