POWERBALL Continued ~om Page1A Young estimates that lottery sales have jumped by "atleast50 percent,ifnot75 percent," since the Powerball

jackpot eclipsed $500 million on Jan. 6. Nobody won either that

jackpot or Saturday's $900 million prize, which also would have set a record. Powerball officials estimate this Wednesday's jackpot will

rise to $1.3 billion. Young said the lure of such riches has prompted an influx of customers who aren't confining their spending to lottery tickets. She estimates that the convenience store's non-lottery sales have risen by about 25 percent during the Powerball frenzy. ''We're seeing people who aren't necessarily our daily customers showing up more regularly," Young said."It's that wish and dream thing." Young said most of her regularcustomers seem tobe spending only a little more than they usually do on Powerball tickets. She's done the same thing herself. "I might buy one more ticket,"Young said. Cindy Smith, the deli manager at York's Park Grocery on Campbell Street, said lotterysaleshave"atleast doubled" since the Jan. 6 jackpot went unclaimed. The Baker Truck Corral's convenience store sold about 500 more $2 Powerball tickets than usual before Saturday's drawing, assistant

The change is aimed at meeting a Baker School Board goal to"implement a calendarthat createsrobusteducational opportuniti esforstudents,stafFand community," the release stated.

"Biggestjackpotin the historyof the world. Absolutelyconfirmed,"Texas Lotteryexecutive director Gary Grief said.

The lotterycomputers will handle the decimal pointwithout a pmblem. No one matched all six Pbwerball numbers Saturdaynight, leading to the astmnomical prize.And thatis all butcertain to gmw beforethenextdrawing Wednesday,according to lotteryofficials. ''We'veneverbeen attheselevels,"said Grief; whose state lotteryis part ofthe Multi-State LotteryAssociation thatruns Powerball. The odds to win are one in 292.2 million. Seventy-five percentof all the possible com-

About 95 percentof Powerball tickets have computer-generated numbers. 'Tve beenin the industryover 20 years, and I've seenjackpots hit when we hmHy have any of the potential numbers covered — like 5 percentof thepossiblecom binationscovered.

BURNS — The occupation of national wildlife area by a small, armed group upset over federal land policies stretched into its second week as the mother of the group's leader asked supporters to send supplies — everything from warm blankets to coffee creamer. The group that seized the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon's high desert country on Jan. 2 planned no media briefings. It was quiet at the entrance to the refuge Sunday. The leader of the occupation, Ammon Bundy, has repeatedly rejected calls to leavebuildings attherefuge despite pleas from the county sherifl; from many local residents and from Oregon's governor, among others. He has said the group will leave when there is a plan to transfercontroloffederalland to locals. So far, the authorities have not moved in to remove Bundy's group. Ammon Bundy is the son of rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a 2014 Nevada standoff with the government over grazing rights. On Saturday, Ammon Bundy's mother, Carol Bundy, sent an email to supporters asking them to send her son's group supplies from a list of more than 80 items, includ-

have people around the state and country talking about how the federal government manages ranching. The Bundys are asking for the federal government to relinquish control ofland in the county to the people there as a condition of them giving up the occupation. Raising cattle in the vast county requires lots ofland, so anyone ranching in Harney County likely has to work with the federal government, particularly the Bureau of Land Management. The agency oversees more than 3.9 million acres, or more than 60.5 percent of the county, according to the BLM. "Much of BLM-administered rangeland is grazed by livestock under a system of permits and leases in which ranchers pay grazing fees for the use of public land," according to the agency.

Add in legal challenges by conservation and environmental groups, and Walden saidsome ofthehardest work for ranchers may be lining up federal permits and leases. "It's that constant, grinding battle that just wears people down," he said. Between sips ofher coffee, Tiller also said court conflicts with conservation and

environmental groups have long been a cause for rancher frustration and fatigue. ''We are trying to use our lands without destroying them," she said. For 17 years Steve Grasty has served as Harney County judge, the highest elected official in the county. He said ranchers want to be heard and treated as partners by federalland managers. "This land can be managed better, and we want to do that," Grasty said.

Walden's congressional district includes Harney County.

VALE — The BureauofLand Management's Vale District is asking for public comments on two environmental documents related to managing noxious weeds. The first is an Environmental Assessment iEAl that analyzes the potential effects of expanding the Vale District's integrated weed management program to make an additional 10 herbicides available for use on non-native invasive plants across the District. The analysis also addresses otherinvasive speciesand noxious weed treatment methods which could be used eitherseparately or asa com ponent ofprograms that includethe proposed added herbicides. These methods include prescribed fire, targeted grazing, seeding, planting and seed bed preparation. The overall goal of the treatments analyzed in the EA is to increase the efficacy of weed treatments and to improve restorationefforts. The second document is a draft of the conclusions of this EA — a Finding of No Significant Impact iFONSIl. Both documents are available for viewing at the Vale District ePlanning website at http J/1.usa.gov/1mwy1HW under the documents link on the left side of the page. Comments can be submitted electronically or by mail. The mailing address is: District Manager, Vale District BLM, 100 Oregon St., Vale OR 97918. Mailed comments must be postmarked by Feb. 6. The email address for comments is blm or invasive plant ea comments@blm.gov. Please type'Vale Invasive Plant Management EA in the subject line.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The federal government doesn't want people to put up a fight over the Clean Water Act. The Army Corps of Engineers has authority over almost every trickle or temporary trickle of water in the country under the act. It's for a legitimate reason — keeping water clean. But what if a landowner believes the Army Corps of Engineers got it wrong when it determined the Clean Water Act applied to a property? Shouldn't the landowner be able to challenge it in court? The landowner should. And that question is at the heart of a case before the U.S. Supreme Court — Kent Recycling Services v. United States Army Corps of Engineers. A lower court ruled that the landowner doesn't have the right to challenge in court. The federal government argues the determination does not force the landowner to do anything. And that's correct, but only as far as it goes. The determination may not force the landowner to do anything, but it creates consequences. It forceslandowners into restricted choices. The landowner is leR with three bad ones, ifhe objects to the determination. He could just not do anything with the land. He could go through a costly and timely permit process, estimated by the Pacific Legal Foundation to take two years at a cost of $270,000. He could move ahead with a project to alter the land without a permit and risk fines of $37,500 a day and imprisonment. There is nothing reasonable about those options. When government decisions have serious consequences for how people can use their property, landowners need to be able to challenge those decisions. If this court case fails to give landowners that power, Congress should change the law.

The Forest Service has mismanaged the forest so badly, you can't walk through them because of the undergrowth and downfall, and now the catastrophic fires burn hundreds of thousands of acres. Here in Baker County two fires joined to burn over 100,000 acres. The environmentalists get paid to sue to stop logging sales just to watch it burn a few years later. Environmentalists are not Oregon's friend. I and most Oregonians do not support the takeover of the Wildlife Refuge except it brought before America the criminal abuse by land managers with an agenda to lock up the West for the environmentalists.

Refuge takeover as a point: Feds need to be reined in Editorial from The Wall Street Journal: As the FBI seeks to end the citizen takeover of Oregon's Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, it's worth reflecting on what is behind the rising civil disobedience in the American West. The armed occupation of federal buildings is inexcusable, but so are federal land-management abuses and prosecutorial overreach. Activists on Saturday broke into an unoccupiedbuilding on the 187,000-acrefederalrefuge in eastern Oregon to protest the imprisonment of two Oregon ranchers. The group's spokesman is Ammon Bundy, son of Cliven Bundy, a Nevadan who in 2014 came to national attention over his standoff with the Bureau of Land Management. The younger Bundy is a political grandstander, and many in Oregon oppose his illegal siege. The drama is bringing attention to legitimate grievances, especially the appalling federal treatment of the Hammond family.

The Hammonds' problems trace to 1908, when Theodore Roosevelt set aside 89,000 acres around Malheur Lake as a bird refuge. The government has since been on a voracious land-and-watergrab,coercing the area'soncethriving ranchers to sell. The feds have revoked dozens of grazing permitsand raised thepriceofthefew it issues. It has mismanaged the area's water, allowing ranchlands to flood. It has harassed landowners with regulatory actions that raise the cost of ranching, then has bought out private landowners to more than double the refuge's size. The Hammonds are one of the last private owners in the Harney Basin, and they have endured federal harassment over their water rights, therevocation oftheirgrazing permits, restric ted accessto theirproperty,and prosecutorial abuse. In 2001 the family told authorities it

planned to set a managed fire on its land to fight invasive species. The fire accidently spreadover 139 acresofpublicland beforethe Hammonds extinguished it. In 2006 the family tried to save its winter feed from a lightning fire by setting"back fires" on its property ia common practice), which burnt an acre of public land. Yearslater,in 2011,the fedscharged Dwight Hammond and his son Steven with nine counts under the elastic Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act. A federal jury found them guilty only of setting the two fires they had admitted to starting, and federal Judge Michael Hogan sentenced the father to three months and the son to a year in prison. He said the federal minimum of five years would not meet"any idea I have of justice, proportionality" and would"shock the conscience."The feds appealed the sentence and another judge ordered both Hammonds

to serve the full five years. They also owe $400,000in supposed fi re-related costs. Many in rural Oregon view this as a government vendetta. Rusty Inglis, who worked for the Forest Service for 34 years and now runs a local Oregon farm bureau, recently told a trade magazine that it's "obvious" that"the BLM and the wildlife refuge want that ranch." The Oregon Farm Bureau called the sentences "gross government overreach." The ideology of"national" land has become the club to punish private landowners who are the best source of economic stability and conservation. The Bundy occupation of federal land can't be tol erated,butthegrowing Western opposition to government harassment of private landownersought to bea source ofpolitical concern. Ted Cruz and others are right to caution the occupiers against their sit-in, but the federalbureaucracy alsoneeds to bereined in.

Burfict dropped his shoulder and hit a defenseless Brown in the helmet as the All-Pro receiver came across the middle, and Jones lost his cool after getting into with Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter when Porter came onto the field as Brown was being tended to by lrainers.

The Baker girls just seem to have Council's number. The Bulldogs traveled to Idaho Saturday and came awaywith a 60-54 nonleague win over the Lumberjacks. It was the second time in a week that Baker defeated Council. "We had great balanced scoring. We played our game," said Baker coach Mat Sand. 'When we score at least 50 points in a game we have a good chance ofwinning the game."

Gracie Huggins led Baker with 16 points. Brie Sand added 13 points as eight Baker players scored. Kaeli Flanagan and Summer Phillips each scored seven points, Kylie Severson five, and Cecylee Bruce, Madi Hampton and Hope Collard four each. Coach Sand said Baker led by about 10 points most of the second half. He said Council made a brief run late in the game to cut the lead to the final margin. Baker travels to Emmett Tuesday before openingGreater Oregon League play Friday at La Grande.

BAIt',ER BOYS BASIt',ETBALL AT HOMEDALE, IDAHO

WRESTLING BAIt',ER

WEEIt', AHEAD

Baker places28th at Rollie lane NAMPA, Idaho — Baker continued to wrestle at a high level last weekend, competing at the annual Rollie Lane Invitational. eWe had another great weekend finishing 28th out of 52 teams with 54.5 points," said Baker coach Brandon Young. "This is Idaho's 'All State Tournament.' They wanted to make this the type of tournament where the best kids from Idaho could compete without any separation based on a school's classification. They also want the toughest teams &om other states as well." Young said 64-man brackets were used in this double elimination tournament. "They ran 3 championship rounds and 4 consolation rounds on Friday," he said."If any wrestler was eliminated on Day 1, then they were put into a second chance tournament where they wrestled 4 matches in a round robin." Baker had two wrestlers make it to Day 2 in the tournament. The rest of the team was eliminated but gotseveralgood matches in the Second Chance Tournament. The two wrestlers advancing were Jace Hays at 113 pounds advancing to the championship quarterfinals, and Will Goodwin at 285 pounds making it to the fifth consolation round. On Day 2 in the quarters Hays faced Victor Ramirez of Pasco, Washington. "It was a good match with Ramirez constantly attacking, but Jace was abletopick him apart for the 8-3 win, advancing to the semis," Young said. There he would have his closest match of the season against No. 2 seed Emmanuel Cerros of Caldwell, who was second at state last season. Hays built a lead twice taking Cerros to his back, but Cerros was relentless and battled back

each time. In the final 15 seconds of the match the score was tied and Cerros cut Hays loose for the 1-pointescape to giveHays the lead 8-7. They ended in a scramble with Cerros nearly getting the takedown, but Hays was able to hang on long enough for the time to expire in the match and advanced to the finals. There he faced Levi Austin of New Plymouth, Idaho, who beat Hays 11-4. "As far as I know we have never had anyone &om Baker make it to the finals at the Rollie Lane," Young said. Goodwin won his first match over Trent Ingram of Fruitland by fall on Saturday advancing to the sixth round of consolation where he was eliminated. Young said that on Saturday most of the Baker wrestlers in the pods won their round robins. "I think the pressure was off and our guys were abletojustgo outthere and compete," Young said. "That was probably our biggest downfall on Friday, was that many of our guys were nervous and didn't go for it. The Idaho Center is much like the venue at the Oregon Classic and State Tournaments, so it's good to getintotheselargearenas during the season so it's not so intimidating when we get to the big show." Baker will be road warriors this week, dualing Nyssa in Nyssa on Wednesday, then leaving for the Oregon Classic on Thursday. Baker will then return home on Sunday and then off to Vale on Tuesday for duals against Vale and Parma.

DucksdswnStanfsrd EUGENE (AP) — A quick glance at Dillon Brooks' stat line &om Oregon's last game could have told Stanford exactly what to expect. Five turnovers, 2-of-10 shooting and a season-low four points in a win over California didn't sit well with the Ducks' leading scorer, as the Cardinal found out the hard way Sunday night. Brooks had 15 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and Oregon pulled away in the second half to a 71-58 victory over Stanford. Tyler Dorsey and Dwayne Benjamin added 12 points apiece for the Ducks (13-3, 2-1 Pac-12), who have won 18 consecutive home games.

DORY'S DIARY

StartingTheNewVear WithHealthy, TastyandMeaty Meals

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

A family's story, stored in abox It was an early morning and I was sitting in my easy chair with a cup of coffee following breakfast and thinking about what I wanted to accomplish on this day when I realized that my eyes had drifted to the next"box up" to be dealt with as in where to put things. The box was square and had held fourgallons ofcaroilm eant forstore distribution and now a discard that had once been stored in my loft for when I "had time." I pretty well knew what was in it but not sure how to disperse the items inside of the sturdy box for interested family members. Handwritten in black ink across the top was one word — "Hofmann." Hofinann was my mother's maiden name and from the family of whom I've written quite a bit over time, that being a natural reaction since I had grown up in this large family and that's where so many of my childhood memories were formulated. In this box, though, were scraps of paper and old newspaper clippings gatheredover the yearsinstead of valuable items of glass or silver for family dispersal or sale. These items were even more valuable to me because they told a story when pieced together. These were parts of a word picture I had planned to combine into a book "Swiss Family Hofinann," their lives embellished with genealogy. That the task was becoming impossible slowly began to dawn on me, for the time had to be growing reasonably short and I had better put myself to the task. There had been earlier attempts to confine these lives in writings like 'The Swiss Family Yodel" newsletter, the fourth quarter of the "Blue Mountain Times" historical newspaper attempt, the "Charge ItPlease"old grocery store book published by the Union County Historical Society, and the various story features appearing here and there, even in my diary. But, the items gathered in this square box now at my feet contained many of the bits and pieces of the family so far unnoted. How many of us have done this same thing with photos and notes on paper stored away in boxes and drawers with full intentions of putting them together in written or dated style to pass on down to our children or grandchildren so they would know the importance of their family heritage but never get the job done? There is so much to do while these "for later" items remain untouched and often forgotten until something brings them to the fore to remind us like an old picture without a name or date. I was sure my day was too full of things of importance that had to be done and that I must not open that Shell oil box. Well, it wouldn't hurt to just open itand seeforsure thatitwasfullof paper scraps. The top wasn't sealed so I wouldn't have to take time or effort taking a brieflook. Yes, that's what it was — all paper items of newspapers, dated manila envelopes, and scraps ofpaperw ith handwritten notes scattered about. I recognized my own handwriting on one of thescraps ofdated paper. It wouldn't hurt to lift it out and see what was of such importance some 26 years ago that I should note it. This I did and thought about the story of their lives for my book of the future, for the note had automatically tied itself to my day. If this was an example of what the box held, how could I go about the mundane tasks of cleaning and cooking on my day set aside for just those things? SeeDory IPage 2B

Lamb chops served with Brussels sprouts, potatoes and tomato-mint marmalade.

It would be remiss of me to not talk about healthy food options for my first column of 2016. Many of us have a list of our New Year's resolutions on how to improve the quality oflife we are living, which often starts with diet. I recently read a quote that stated,"The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is diKcult.a I don't know who wrote it but it fits perfectly for this time of year. Last year one of the things that I wanted to change was to start using my own shopping bags. In the beginning, I would forget my cute shopping totes so I left the store with my cart filled with groceries and then bagged them when I got to the car, it helped me ease into starting a new habit. Many things in life are simply that — habit. I am not going to talk about dieting, because I don't think it typically works long term. I like to refer to healthy eating as a lifestyle. As a step in this direction, my husband has been keen on getting the GMO foods off our shopping list. It is important for all of us to vote with our dollars; the food giants are listening and becoming more aware of what they are putting in their foods. We have a longway to go,buthow we spend our money matters. Italways surprisesme that peoplerefer to me as a good cook. I just like to cook, eat and play with food. I usually use ingredients I like and that often makes for enjoyable eating. I am intimidated by many foods — baking and cooking with recipes that include beef, lamb or pork, for example.Iwasraised eatingmeat and potatoesand became avegetarian fora few years in my teens. I am uneducated on meat cuts and how to shop and prepare them, I am learning, though. One of thebasictipsIrecently added to my meat-cooking regimen is to get the meat to room temperature before cooking.Ihosted a disastrous dinner party a few years ago, which aided in that piece oflearning. I am trying to revisit many food failures in my attempt to becoming a confident and better cook. I wanted to give you another new tip I learned this year. That is to cover your steaks with baking soda for 20 minutes then rinse beforeyou cook.Itreally helpsto tenderize the meat. Today, I eat more meat than I ever have. If you are a meat-eater and plan on making any diet changes, I suggest you eat organic when possible. I also suggest that you do not buy pre-packaged food. Especially in light of the new law, which has just passed, allowing the meat-packing companies to exclude the country of origin of their products from their

label.

Tomato-mint marmalade is an ideal garnish for lamb chops. Ifyou can, start with one meal a week m ade fromfresh foods.Packaged foodisfullof unhealthy ingredients and is also expensive. Cooking is not for everyone, so I encourage you to find the foods you like most and learn tocook a few simple recipesfrom scratch.It may seem overwhelming at first, but if you plan a bit, you may discover just how easy and enjoyable it is. I am sharing with you a few organic meat recipes. Watching portion control is key. Servinglotsofsalad and vegetables on the side makes a full meal that is both healthy and satisfying. I try to eat slower, reminding m yself thatfood isnotjustfortaste,butis also meant to sustain my body. I don't normally eat fast food but when I do I find it to be addicting and really not so delicious. I often feel poorly after consuming it. I always know when I am eating healthily; my body just feels better. I think Americans have lost focus when it comes to food; we eat quickly without thought and gratitude, expecting meals to be tasty and not even thinking of the nutritional content. Eating local and seasonal is always best. These recipes are easy, quick and full of flavor. I just discovered brining pork chops. I have been brining my turkeys for years before I cook them but I never thought of brining pork chops. After we harvested our pigs, I found that the chops were a bit tough. In my search to remedy this I came across a brining recipe that has made the meat much more tender. Before learning about brining I was really not a fan of pork chops, but now I can say that I look forward to cooking and eating them. I have also included my new favorite rib eye steak recipe and my all-time favorite lamb recipe. These are all simple meals, which I think are delicious.

Thank you for reading my column, it has brought me great joy sharing recipes with you and experimenting with food, whilst pushing my boundaries. Cheers to a healthy 2016!

M FavoriteRibE eReci e 4 rib-eye steaks 1 1/2 Cups soy sauce 2Tablespoon dry mustard 1Tablespoon coarsely ground pepper Mix the soy sauce, garlic, mustard, and pepper in a shallow marinade dish. Add the steaks and marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 3-5 hours. Then grill or broil to your desired taste. I usually cookthem on a high grill for 4minutes eachside,depending on thickness.

Pork Cho Brine Brining pork chops for even 30 minutes will make a difference. I prefer a few hours at least but it really makes for a juicy chop. 3 Cups cold water, divided 3Tablespoons coarse salt or 21/2 tablespoons table salt 2 Garlic cloves 1/2Teaspoon black peppercorns 1 bay leaf Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add the salt and stir to dissolve. Add 2 more cups of cold water to bring to room temperature. Place the pork in a shallow dish making sure the water covers the pork. If you need to add more cold water do so.

Remove the seeds from the tomatoes, dice into quarter-inch pieces. Chop the fresh mint. In a saucepan add orange marmalade, cider vinegar, and sugar. Cook until the mixture reduces to syrup.

This keeps well in the refrigerator or freezer, but should be served warm or at room temperature.
