Oregon, 6A SALEM — A new report showing that rising income inequality could negatively affect state taxrevenue comes amid a push by Gov. John Kitzhaber, legislative Democrats and others to overhaul Oregon's tax code.

With no sales tax and property taxes constrained by 1990s ballot measures, Oregon relies on the income tax for nearly $7 of every $10 it collects — more than any other state.

Fire crews have mostly tamed a wildfire in the Eagle Cap Wilderness near Wallowa Lake, but officials say the West Fork fire probably will smolder until the first strong storms of autumn arrive.

The fire, which officials believewas started by people although the investigation continues, has burned 135 acres.

The blaze, reported by hikers one week ago, on Sept. 8, is 45percent contained.

Most of the 94 firefighters and support workers assigned to the fire will be released today, according to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

Idaho's Panhandle Hot Shot Crew will remain for at least a few more days, along with two helicopters, said Christie Shaw, fire information officer.

The helicopters will continue to drop water on hot spots as well as haul food and gear to firefighters at their camp near the junction of the West Fork Wallowa River and Ice Lake trails.

Both of those popular hiking trails remain closed.

World, 5A WASHINGTON —The W hite House saidSunday it will find countries willing to send combat troops to fight Islamic extremists in Syria and Iraq, but it's too early to identify them.

White House chief of staff DenisMcDonough signaled that the State Department in coming days will name allies that will pledge ground troops to fight the Islamic State group, something the United States does not plan to do. Meantime, McDonough said, U.S. personnel will train and equip Iraqi forces and moderate Syrian rebels to combat the extremist group, also known as ISIS and ISIL.

The killing frost in the spring of 2013 drastically affected the Cordtzes' fiuit sales — they had hardly any fruit to sell — but it did provide a season of pure growth and rejuvenation for the trees.

"It will never be this heavy until we have another year like last year," Linda said on Saturday, looking down the row of peach trees that still need

A bumper crop means good sales and many, many days of picking.

'Your life is dictated by this," she says, cradling a perfectly ripe peach in the palm ofher hand.

Each week, they provide nearly 1,000 pounds of fiuit for CSA shares. Most are out of the Boise area, but their fiuit shares are also sold through Val's Veggies in Medical Springs.

CSA stands for Community-Supported Agriculture. In the spring, people can buy a CSA share, paying up front fora season'sworth offruit.

In addition to the CSAs, Eagle Creek fruit is sold at farmers markets in Baker City, La Grande and Wallowa County.

This year, fellow farmer Ryan Casaray has been transporting the fiuit to the markets in Union and Wallowa counties, which allows the Cordtzes to stay at the orchard and harvest.

"It's pick, pick, pick," Linda says.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 15, 1964 Baker School District 5J Board of Education, faced with increased enrollment and some shifts of classes within the city elementary schools, decided Monday night to have their architect submit plans for a four-room addition to South Baker School.

Presently, South Baker has the largest sixth-grade class (68) among the five city elementary schools, with some students being shifted over to Central School.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 15, 1989 School enrollments are up in Baker County's school districts and throughout the state.

In the Baker School District, teachers welcomed 2,147 students — up 41 from last year's enrollment of 2,106.

Most of the increase is in the lower grades.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 15, 2004 The bottom line at St. Elizabeth Health Services is that the hospital's bottom line is a lot less red than it used to be. Sometime this fiscal year, black ink is expected to replace what has been a decade-long flow of red ink.

"Things haven't been great, and they're not great now," George Winn, St. Elizabeth's president and chief executive officer, told Baker County Unlimited's Friday Forum last week. "But they're getting better."

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 23, 2013 A sick coyote shot by a sheriff's deputy in a Kirkway Drive neighborhood Wednesday night was suffering from both rabies and canine distemper, according to the Oregon Department of Fish andWildlife.

The diagnosis was made after a necropsy (animal autopsy) was conducted at the Oregon State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Corvallis, according to Brian Ratliff, ODFW district wildlife biologist in Baker City.

on Labor Day, but two hours later was notified that Miles had opened his gates to allow cattle onto the property. The city cannot irrigate wastewater while livestock is on the land as per DEQ regulations.

Councilor Ilene Davis said the easement is supposed to work as a mutually beneficial contract that provides water for Miles' feedlots and crops. It is intended for Miles to let the city know what zones toirrigate— thereare 14while his cattle are in other zones.

"He's supposed to tell us where he wants us to irrigate," Davis said."I was raisedon afarm. Idon'tgetit."

The situation largely came to a head at a Sept. 8 council meeting when councilors said they pleaded with the Miles family to allow the city to relieve the lagoons. Miles' son told them they could irrigate immediately if they sign the new contract, thecouncilorssaid.

Miles said he has no issue with the irrigation but is concerned about the current contract.

'The reason they haven't been able to irrigate is because they refuse to deal with the flaws in the agreement," he said. ''We'vebeen trying fortwoyearstoget them to revise the agreement to take the flaws out."

NeighdorsReactTola Grande'sOnly MedicalMarijuana Ilispensary

esi en wansme ica o sore'ou o own'

By Cherise Kaecheie WesCom News Service

Green Apothecary has been open for just over two weeks, but already the neighbors think it has overstayed its welcome.

"I'mnotin favor ofitat all," Sandee Fox, who lives just down the block &om La Grande'sone and only medical marijuana dispensary.

Fox doesn't like that the dispensary is right down the street &om her on Adams Avenue. She doesn't want a dispensary in La Grande at

all.

Her neighbor, Armando Robles, owns La Fiesta restaurant. Robles said he doesn't want the dispensary across the street &om his business, and he wants it "out of town.

Robles admits the medical dispensaryisa com plicated subject, and aslong asit stays under control then maybe there's a need for medical marijuana, but he doesn't want it across the street.

Roblesispassionate about

"The city knew what our answers would be. They knew we wouldn't wantit."

— La Grande resident Armando Robles

what he does, and he's concerned for his business. "iThe city) never asked the neighbors about moving a dispensary next door," Robles said.'They tell us when a new business is coming in, but not when a dispensary comes in?"

Fox didn't hear anything about the dispensary except &om articles printed in The Observer.

"The city knew what our answers would be," Robles said."They knew we wouldn't wantit."

Green Apothecary is coowned by Randy and Rona Lindsey. Randy Lindsey refused numerous calls for comment.

Robles, Fox and neighbors Maurice Nelson and Shirley Nelson, who live down the block, said they have not heard anything from the owners of the apothecary since opening their dispen-

sary.

"They have not introduced themselves, "Roblessaid. ''We're all trying to run a business."

Fox says she doesn't want to hear about the Lindseys' business.

"I've never been around marijuana before, and I don't like it at all. I wouldn't be interested in meeting with them or hearing anything they have to say."

However, Robles suggested it would be helpful to have an unofficial meeting of the Green Apothecary with the neighboring businesses, so thattherelevant partiescan discuss the concerns about the new business in neutral territory. ''Why can't they come to us, their neighbors?" Robles questioned."Not in an official icityl meeting. But some neutral place so that we can all talk. So far, it hasn't hap-

pened."

Now that recreational marijuana usage is legal in Washington and Colorado, Nelson pointed out, the legalization of marijuana will continue to grow.

"The voters spoke about it, and voted it in," Maurice Nelson said.

Robles said people are going to have a hard time accepting a medical marijuana dispensary.

"It's hard to understand something that was once illegal, and now has become legal," Robles said."It's our misconception, possibly."

However, Robles said, as a business owner there are rules he has to follow. He can't sell alcohol to minors or to people who are already intoxicated. Robles believes there are too many cracks the dispensary can fall throughasfarasregulations are concerned, because the new dispensaries, in his view, are not regulated enough.

Fox said she is concerned that medical marijuana cardholders will get the

product and give it away to non-cardholders.

"There's always a way to cheat the system," she said.

Fox said being on a main street, Adams Avenue, she has items stolen &om her property all the time. Items were stolen from her recent yard sale. She fears there will be a rise in crime now that the dispensary is next door.

Police Chief Brian Harvey said that crime will undoubtedly rise when marijuana, a mind-altering drug, is more readily available. ''When you know the substanceisavailable,them ore widely used it becomes," Harvey said.

Harvey said that in most of the sexual assault crimes that have occurred in the area, the attacker was impairedby alcohol ordrugs.

There's a definite contributing factor of marijuana, or other mind-altering drugs, to crime, he said. ''Why is it that folks seem to think that under mind-altering drugs, like marijuana, a personisgoing to perform

Harvey also brought up the fact that due to the regulations being put in place by the state and the local ordinance being drafted by the city, the dispensary cannot be regulated by local law enforcement.

'That, to me, is basically inexcusable," Harvey said.

"The pro-marijuana side say this is so heavily restricted, but there's little or no enforcement component."

Harvey said there are only a few positions in the state that can enforce the regulationsput in place for the dispensaries and "none of them have law enforcement backgrounds."

ane eon Baker County is the best place in Oregon to see mountain goats in their natural habitat.

But perhaps it's become too good, in at least one

place.

That's Twin Lakes, the scenic, and understandably popular, spot in the Elkhorns west of Baker City.

The goats that congregate around the lakes are so blase about the presence of people, including campers, that they've become at the least a nuisance.

At worst the goats, which despite their placid countenance are still wild animals, and with sharp horns

besides, could be a danger.

We're glad the Oregon Department of Fish and

Wildlife (ODFW), which released the first batches of goats in the Elkhorns from 1983-86, is trying to entice the goats away from Twin Lakes.

The real attraction for the goats isn't people, per se, but rather the salt they bring along, in their food, their sweat and even, well, in their urine.

Mountain goats seem to have a particular a5nity for salt. ODFW's tactic, which the agency employed to good effect several years ago at Twin Lakes, is to place salt blocks among the rocky slopes above the lakes.

ODFW, working with the Forest Service, also has posted signs at several trailheads in the Elkhorns, alerting hikers and campers that they might not only see mountain goats, but have the animals nosing around their camp.

Both are good ideas.

But ODFW also needs to keep monitoring the goat situation, especially at Twin Lakes.

Although the agency hasn't received any reports of the goats threatening people, or even acting aggressively, the proximity of wild animals and people is inherently dangerous.

Four years ago an adult male mountain goat fatally gored a hiker in Olympic National Park in Washington state.

If the Twin Lakes goats start to act more than curious, ODFW might need to consider trapping and moving the animals.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Oregon's land-use laws were designed, in part,to prevent the spread of what the late Gov. Tom McCall famously called, in a speech to the1973 Legislature,"sagebrush subdivisi ons,"clustersofhouses far from theservicesofthe nearestcity.

The phrase stuck, and Senate Bill 100, the underpinning law of subsequent land-use planning, was approved that year. Among

other things, the law and the rules surrounding it seek to assure that destination resorts remain just that— resorts— and don'tbecome those dreaded sagebrush subdivisions.

Thus resort developers must assure there's enough visitor lodging available to accommodate a healthy number of short-term guests. To that end, they can allow no more than 2'/2 residences for every overnight lodging unit on the property.

One way to do that is to encourage development of timeshares and vacation cabins, owned by private individuals but available to be rented out most of the year through arentalagency ortheresortitself.

Currently, if the destination resortisclose to the city ofBend — and only Tetherow on Bend's southwest side qualifies — individually owned units must be available for guests 45 weeks a year, a huge chunk of time that gives an owner

seven weeks to enjoy his property.

That is likely to change, however, and it should. Monday, the Deschutes County Commission will hold a public hearing on a proposed change to the county code covering destination resorts.Ifapproved,it would cut to 38 weeks the time a private overnight rental must be available to the public. That would give owners 14 weeks to enjoy their properties.

It also would bring the require-

ment for cityside resorts in line with the one for those farther from Bend, including Pronghorn and Caldera Springs. That, too, makes sense. There's no logical reason we can find for the difference.

The current code effectively punishes overnight rental property owners for choosing to purchase at Tetherow rather than at something more distant from Bend. It's a difference that should be eliminated.

DEBATING MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION IN OREGON

Beg. Slumenm uer, ClmtsogML.trmde numhersoverOregon gotmemsure • Voters will decide in November whether to allow recreational use of marijuana

SALEM — After a week of growling at each other in the press, one of Oregon's most outspoken district attorneys against marijuana legalization and the legalization-supporting congressman who represents the Portland area had their first chance Friday to trade barbs in person.

Mostly, they traded numbers.

Oregon would take at least $10 million in revenue, 25 percent would go to law enforcement, and no people have diedofa m arijuana overdose,said U.S. Rep.EarlBlumenauer, D-Ore. 'This is an opportunity to get our priorities straight," Blumenauer said.

"These are the same arguments we heard 90 years ago about alcohol."

"The most disturbing thing is the argument that marijuana has absolutely no downside," Marquis said.'Why would we want to introduce another drug?"

The campaign for legalization in Oregon has all the makings of a political campaign, with marijuana as its candidate.Repletewith opposition research, concerns about its legal history and questions about scientific validity, the drug itself — not its tax impact nor the disproporti onate incarceration ofitsusers who are minorities — is at the crux of the legalization debate.

Marquis said he's not opposed to people smoking marijuana in their homes. He once did, as a college student in Eugene. He has argued against the federal classification of marijuana among its most dangerous drugs.

But Marquis said he worries about people driving under the influence and legal pot getting into the hands of children.

OREGON BRIEFING State budgets $2 million for Oracle suit SALEM iAPl — Oregon has budgeted $2 million for

By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

SALEM — Students are facing a rising loan burden, and Oregon's state treasurer w antsthestateto beable to take on debt of its own to help them out.

Ted Wheeler proposed a little-known measure that will appear on the November ballot. Measure 86 would amend the state constitution, creating an endowment that could be used only for student financial aid. It would also allow the state to take on debt to fill the kitty.

He wants to start with $100 million.

Oregon's college tuition is high, and state support for financial aid is low compared with other states, Wheeler sald.

"A lot oflow-income and middle-class students are being shut out of education and job-training opportunities at exactly the time when employers are telling us that advanced education and training are more important than ever and will continue to be more important in the future,"Wheeler said.

Wheeler is quick to point out that issuing bonds to fill the endowment is only

an option; the Legislature could also fill fund it with a direct appropriation orseek philanthropic support. Voter approval is no guarantee that the fund will actually materialize because lawm akersarenotobligated to commit funds.

Oregon's constitution generally prohibits the state from going into debt, but votershave created exemptions to allow bonds backed by the general fund for specific purposes. They are generally used for construction projects, such as prisons and buildingsfor stateagencies, universities and community colleges.

Critics worry about the consequences of incurring debt, which has traditionally been used only for constructionprojects,topay for student aid. Some also say it would be betterforthe state to address the underlying costsofproviding a college education.

"In the short term, it may help individual students. But it makes the whole system less affordable overall," said Steve Buckstein, senior policy analyst at the Cascade Policy Institute, a libertarian think tank in Portland.

''When someone else is paying the bill, the costs go up."

Bonds, if they're sold, would be repaid by the state general fund over 30 years, not by the investment earnings. Interest on the fundWheeler estimates about $5 m illion a yearfor every $100 million invested — would pay for financial aid like scholarships and vocational training.

There's been little campaigning on either side.

Nobody has even registered a political action committee to oppose it. A committee in favor has raised about $20,000 from a handful of individuals, and PACs, supporting banks, credit unions and the Northwest Health Foundation.

Wheeler has lined up support from a variety of education, business and community groups, including university presidents, labor unions and the Oregon Business Alliance.

Without public polling, it's hard to know how the measure will fare with an electoratethat' sboth skepticalofdebtand tired ofrising college loan burdens.

Oregon's existing statefunded financial aid program, known as Opportunity

Grants, doled out about $50 million in scholarships to in the 2012-2013 school year to 33,000 Oregon students attending colleges and universities, both public and private.

Wheeler argues that thosescholarshipsareboth inadequate and undependable.

They're subjectto year-toyear appropriations, so studentsgetting a scholarship one year can't depend on it being there the next. And there's only enough money forabout 20 percent ofthe students who apply, according to data from the Oregon Student Access Commission, which administers the program.

Ifvoters approve,competition for dollars would be fierce.

Legislative leaders said college affordability is likely to be a hot topic next year, but they were noncommittal about how a student aid endowment might fare against competing priorities.

A college aid endowment "will have to be considered in the context of a variety of proposals," said Jared MasonGere, a spokesman for House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland.

SalemconsidersdanningsmoKingonsidewalks SALEM iAPl — The City of Salem is considering banning smoking on some public sidewalks, including the walkways next to Salem Hospital and Willamette University.

Mayor Anna Peterson proposed the ban at the request of officials from the hospital and university.

The city council this month asked staff todraw up an ordinance fora vote at a future meeting. In addition to the sidewalks next to the hospital and university, Peterson's proposal would allow businesses to request smoking bans near their properties.

Councilor Brad Nanke objected to the proposal, saying it would be difficult to enforce. It wouldn't drive smokers to quit,

only to move up the street or to their cars.

"Itcomes back to kind ofa feel-good policy," Nanke said."But will it actually do anything? No." Peterson acknowledged that she's uncertain how the proposed restrictions would be enforced.

its legal fight with sofbvare giant Oracle over the state's failed health care exchange website.

The state sued the Redwood City, California, company in Marion County Circuit Court last month, claiming that Oracleoffi cialslied,breached contracts and engaged in"a pattern of racketeering activity." Meanwhile, the company has suedthe statein federalcourtalleging breach of contract.

Oracle was the largest technology contractor working on Oregon's health insurance enrollment website, known as Cover Oregon. The public website was never launched, forcing the state to hire hundreds of workers to process paper applications by hand. The issue became a political liability for Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber.

The state has hired a Portland business litigation firm — Markowitz, Herbold, Glade & Mehlhaf PC — to represent it, the Statesman Journal reported 4ttp://is.gd/ bBVfWIl. The firm is giving a 10 percent discount on its rates, but legal experts say the $2 million budget likely won't last more than a year on a case that could last longer than that.

The state Justice Department often hires specialized firms on complicated projects, spokeswoman Kristina Edmunson said. The department has just six attorneys and one paralegal in its special litigation unit, which handles cases that include environmental and election lawsuits.

The Markowitz firm is dedicating seven lawyers to the Oracle case.

The state is seeking damages as high as $240 million and hundreds of millions more in penalties. But Oracle has calle d thelawsuit"a desperate attempt to defl ect blame from Cover Oregon and the governor for their failures to manage a complex IT project."

Fire near Estacada closes RVpark, highway ESTACADA iAPl — A wildfire burning in Mount Hood National Forest prompted the closure of a campground, a recreational vehicle park and a highway near Estacada.

The 1.5-square-mile fire was burning in timber and grass about 10 miles southeast of Estacada along Highway 224on Sunday. Though the town was not threatened, the highway was closed at milepost 35 in both directions for the safety of firefighters and the public.

Authorities said the Lazy Bend Campground and Work Center were evacuated and closed until further notice.

The LaDee Flatsoff-road vehicle area was alsoclosed, along with the Silver Fox RV Park.

The Red Cross said it set up a shelter at the First Baptist Church in Estacada. Twenty people were staying there, with others staying in RVs in the parking lot.

About 100 firefighters were battling the blaze midday Sunday, with more expected to arrive throughout the day.

Callers were flooding county 911 emergency lines. The North Marion County 911 system sent phone recordings to people asking them not to call about the smoke unless they could see flames nearby.

Now, on my 2014 calendar, it says that Patriot's Day is Sept. 11, falling on a Thursday.

As far as I am concerned, Patriot's Day is every day, for it simply means loveand loyalty or zealoussupportof one's country. We who live in this country feel it very strongly. As members of the Lone Pine Tree Chapter, DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), we areaware ofourfragilefreedoms and how determinedly our forebears fought in order to win and preserve them for themselves and posterity.

Sometimes we watch our hard-won freedoms being nibbled away in one way or another and wonder why we stand asideand letithappen.

There are times I wish I could speak with the men and women who are now referredto asPatriotsand learn oftheir loyalty to the cause. I imagine we could ask any one of our own military the same question, for it is there in their willingness to defend us against all those who threaten our very existence.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have newspaper publishing banned or taken over by the government?

Fall work yields colors for spring Do you have your spring bulbs ready to plant? I have some new ones, but won't plant for a while yet.

Yearsago Igotthebrightidea of planting fancy tulip bulbs in big pots and putting them along the back, or south, side of the house so they would bloom earlier than the ones in the ground out front. Tulips and other bulbs bloom nearly a month earlier with the warmer southside sun. This worked well and I could then move the potsoutfrontfor a splash ofcolorjust as the ones in the ground were barely coming up.

That worked in mild winters, but in cold winters the walls of the plastic pots were too thin to protect the bulbs and they would freeze.

These fudgy brownie bites actually contain black beans instead of flour.

• Beneath their decadent exteriors, these desserts hide a host of healthy ingredients ByAlison Sherwood Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

CHERRY VANILLA 'ICE CREAM'

This "ice cream" is actually just made from frozen bananas, frozen cherries and vanilla extract.

Secret ingredient: Bananas

This ice cream isn't ice cream at all. In fact, in its simplest form it's just bananas. But add in a few frozen cherries and some vanilla, or any number of additions (cocoa powder, coconut flakes, peanut butter, instant coffee) and you've got an all-natural alternative to frozen yogurt with no added sugar.

Add cherries and vanilla and blend again until smooth.

Jars of colorful pickled produce, including, from left, pickled cherries, carrots, asparagus, cucumbers and okra.

• Quick technique doesn't require sterilizing jars, and works with a variety of produce

By Robert Rodriguez The Fresno Bee

"Others want to try and save a little money," Garza says. "Either way, it is becoming popular."

On her blog, Crazy Crayonswww.crazycrayons.wordpress.comGarza recently wrote about pickling 3 pounds of jalapeno peppers using the canning method of sterilizing jars and lids. That many peppers may seem likea lotto m ostpeople,butnotfor Garza.

"I have learned from experience that between the amount of chilies we eat and the number of jars I give away, I need roughly 15 per year," Garza wrote recently on her blog.

"Needless to say, I will be pickling again next week."

Veteran pickler Felix Muzquiz is a fan of preserving cauliflower, carrots, peppers, okra, green beans and asparagus. Last year, she pickled carrots and hot peppers and was pleased with the results.

"It looked really beautiful with all thosefallcolorsofred,yellow,orange and green," Muzquiz says. "It really is a nice way to keep the flavors of the season."

For those who actually want to try to make pickles, Muzquiz recommends adding a fresh grape leaf to the jar to keep the pickles firmer and crisper. She also slices off the blossom end of the cucumber.

"Pickling is really a blast," Muzquiz says. "And it gives you a very satisfying feeling to be able todopreserve something like food."

It used to be that pickling was something only your grandmother did. But that doesn't apply anymore.

Younger generations are embracing pickling as a way to explore their interestin food,preserve the season's bounty and cut their food budgets.

These days, pickling is so trendy that it's even been parodied by the comedy show "Portlandia." In one skit, the actors' penchant for pickling getsoutofcontrolasthey drop everything from parking tickets to dead birds into jars of vinegar.

Jokes aside, pickling pros say the practice doesn'thave to be long and involved. There is a method called quick pickling that does not require sterilizing jars and lids. You store the finished product in the refrigerator and it's good for a month.

"Plus, once people see how easy it is, then they realize that they can do it, too," says Kristy Page of Fresno, California, who has been pickling for several years. "And once you really get into it, there is almost no limit to what you can pickle."

Page has pickled everything from cherries to curried cauliflower. The pickled cherries are loaded with falllike flavors of star anise, cinnamon and cloves, which Page uses as a topping on pork, in salads and on ice cream.

Quick pickling requires just a few ingredients: vinegar,sugar,saltand spices. Page likes to buy a Mexican spices pickling mix found at some PICKLED S WEET Hispanic grocery stores. If you can't CHERRIES find that, popular pickling spices 1/3 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon include bay leaves, celery seed, turmeric, garlic,coriander,mustard seed, 1"/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt 1 star anise (optional) cinnamon stick and black pepper.

COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM DAIRY-FREE Secret ingredient:

Cut avocado and scoop out flesh. Use a fork, an electric hand mixer or a food processor to mash the avocado until there are no more chunks.

Melt the chocolate chips by microwaving in 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted.

Scoop avocado mixture into the bowl with melted chocolate and mix until wellblended. Stir in cacao nibs, if desired. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball using your palms. Repeat with rest of mixture. Put cocoa powder in a shallow bowl and roll balls in the cocoa powder until they're completely covered.

Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days, but note that they taste best when served fresh or at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM Secret ingredient: Chia seeds Chia seeds are touted as an ancient superfood rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The little black seeds don't have much flavor, but when soaked in liquid they form a gelatinous texture, making them popular for faux-pudding recipes. Not sure about chia pudding?

Put it in an ice cream maker and naturally-sweetened chia ice cream might be more your style. This recipe is from topwithcinnamon.com.

Makes 2 to 4 servings "/4 cup chia seeds 1 2/3 cups milk (unsweetened almond, coconut or cow's milk) 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted 4 pitted Medjool dates or 8 pitted California dates

Coconut milk Well, the secret ingredient isn't so secret, but it's a good option for those with a dairy intolerance, looking to cut down a bit on fat or who just love coconut flavor.

1 can (16 ounces) coconut milk (not light) 1 tablespoon powdered sugar Chill the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight or for several hours.

Remove can from fridge and do not shake. Flip can upside down and open immediately. The cream should be concentrated at the bottom; pour off the translucent liquid from the top and reserve, if desired, for another use (it works great in a smoothie).

Scoop the thick cream from bottom of can into a mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar and whip using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.

ALMOST INSTANT CHOCOLATE PUDDING Secret ingredient: Chia seeds Chia seeds turn gelatinous when chilled in liquid, making them a healthy, vegan substitute for egg yolks and cornstarch typically found in homemade pudding.Most recipes for chia pudding (or traditional pudding, for that matter) involve chilling the recipe for several hours or overnight, but if you keep a batch of almond milk ice cubes in your freezer this recipe lets you enjoy healthy chocolate pudding almost instantly.

We put in a targe raised garden (atong the high cedar fence) using pressure-treated 16-foot, 2-by-12-inch lum ber.

The depth of the soilis about 10inches. The first fall toe planted red and yellow tulips and the next spring had more than 100 blooms.Thinking theywould beforever,thenext spring we were shocked tohave only four or Pve survive the gophers steating them by coming from the bottom. This summer I removed the dirt and started over,byputting in V~-inch wire mesh (from D<kB) on the bottom and I will plant nero tulips bulbs again this fall. Also I will put a cover over the newbulbs using the samemesh to keep rodents from attacking them from the top if they decide to. I will know next spring if this is successful.

This sounds wonderful to me

and is a trick I'd like to figure out how to use in a raised stone bed of mine, as the mice or gophershave gotten into it in the past.

We tend to think that once we have planted our bulbs it is over with forever, BUT the bulbs do need to be dug up and dividedand sorted after a few years. They can get too crowded and produce smaller and smaller blooms. I have done it in the fall and spring both, and it has worked.

Did you know — nothing will eat daffodils? That's right!

The deer don't eat them from the top nor rodents from the bottom. In my troublesome area I gave up on tulips and just planted daffodils.

There is still so much to share so check in again to see which direction we will go next.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Islamic State militants, who once relied on wealthy Persian Gulf donors for money, have become a self-sustaining financial juggernaut, earning more than $3 million a day from oil smuggling, human trafflcking, theft and extortion, according to U.S. intelligence officials and private experts.

The extremist group's resources exceed that"of any otherterroristgroup in history," said a U.S. intelligence official who, like others interviewed, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss classified assessments. Such riches are one reason that American officials are so concerned about the group even while acknowledging they have no evidence it is plotting attacks against the United States.

The Islamic State group has takenover large sections of Syria and Iraq,and controls as many as 11 oil fields in both countries, analysts say. It is selling oil and other goods through generations-old smuggling networks under the noses of some of the same governments it is fighting: Kurdish-confrolled northern Iraq, Turkey and Jordan.

While U.S. intelligence doesnotassessthatthose governments are complicit in the smuggling, the Obama administration is pressing them do to more to crack down. The illicit oil is generally transported on tanker trucks,analystssaid.

"There's a lot of money to be made," said Denise Natali, who worked in Kurdistan

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

Baker's cross country team openeditsseason Friday at the annual Catherine Creek Scamper near Catherine Creek State Park southeast of Union.

Four Baker girls and three boys competed in the race.

"It was a pretty solid effort at Catherine Creek," said Baker coach Mike Knutson. eWe're still getting a feel for what our athletes are capableofand with a lotof new runners, there's a bit of a learning curve on race pacing and strategy."

Knutson said Taylor Hawes put in another solid raceafter a pretty challenging week of training. eWe're excited with the direction he's headed," Knutson said.

Eastern gridders edged by S. Oregon LA GRANDE — The Eastern Oregon University Mountaineers trailed the No. 22 Southern Oregon University Raiders, 35-31, with 10 seconds remaining in the game. Zach Bartlow dropped back to throw a pass down the middle of the field but it dropped incomplete and the Mountaineers fell to Southern Oregon, 35-31.

The Mountaineers held the lead for the majority of the contest, but could not hold on in the fourth quarter. Zach Bartlow led the Mountaineers with 262 passing yards and three touchdowns. Jace Billingsley recorded 11 receptions for130 yards and a touchdown. Byron Benson, Matt Gayman and Gary Posten led the team with 10 tackles apiece.

EOU came out strong in the first quarter. Thirty seconds into the game, Gayman intercepted Austin Dodge to give EOU the ball at Southern Oregon's 22 yard line. The Mountaineers scored two plays later as Bartlow found Justin Hernandez on a 17 yard reception to put EOU on

Hawes placed 15th with a time of19:48.

The Baker coach said newcomers Duane Tidwell and Annika Andersen looked strong too.

"I suspect these two will seethebiggestin-season improvements in race times simply because they are relatively inexperienced with cross country racing.

They will only get faster with improved fitness and racing experience," he said.

Tidwell finished 35th in the boys race with a time of 21:20. Brandon Myers finished 59th with a time of 24:06.

"He doesn't surprise me, but I will say all three touchdown catches, for the most part, didn't come up exactly like they were drawn up," Rivers said.'They're a little bit backyard. We ended up close to the spots we were trying to do, but just a little bit different based on technique. They were obviously huge plays."

Here are some things that stood out Sunday as both teams evenedtheirrecords at 1-1:

But Harvin had stepped on the sideline during the run and the NFL said after the game the score was "incorrectly confirmed."The league said the ball should have been spottedatthe 21-yard line.

"That was bad. They missed that," Chargers defensive end Dwight Freeney said.

• OLD GUYS RULE: While Gates had a huge day, Freeney, 33, sacked Wilson to force the Seahawks to punt on their first drive. That led to the first of three field goals for San Diego's Nick Novak.

"I happened to mention that to Gates. I said, This is old-school day,' Freeney said.

"Me and him are the oldest guys on the team and we made some plays today."
