Baker City Manager Mike Kee plans to retire, butnot immediately.

Kee, 57, who has been Kee city manager since September 2010, has proposedtoretirein alegal sense on Oct. 31, then be re-hired, on a six-month contract, starting Nov. 1.

The advantageofthat scenario, according to a reportthat city councilors will consider during their meeting Tuesday evening at City Hall, is that the city would save almost $2,000 per month in contributions to Kee's retirement account during the six-month period.

By Joshua Dillen ldillen©bakercityherald.com

Baker City councilors will have four applicants to choose from Tuesday when they consider appointing someone to fill a vacancy on the Council.

Tuesday's meeting starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St. The applicants to replace Ben Merrill, who resigned last month:

• Randy Daugherty, owner of Baker Garage and a former city councilor and current chairman of the city's Budget Board • Michael J. Meyer, a retired ironworker • Margaret"Sandy" Lewis, areti red registered nurse • Dawn Alicia Buckelew, a formercasinocashier The appointed councilor will serve a term ending Dec. 31, 2016.

In other business Tuesday, the Council will also discuss possible changes to acity ordinance concerning property maintenance, and specifically the removal of graffiti.

According to a staff report, the proposed change was promptedby a caseofgraffi ti on the back of the Eltrym Theater.

The theater's owners decidedtoremove some ofthe graffiti, but left another sec-

tion that they"liked having on the building," according to the city'sstaffreport.

The graffiti, which was made several years ago, is a pictureofa ratbesidethe word"movie."

The city issued the theater owners a citation for failing toremove allofthe graffiti within 14 days, as the ordinance, in place since 2009, requires.

The behind-the-scenes role of the Baker School District's homeless liaison is one that might go unnoticed, but it's one that's vital when a family in need reaches out for help.

The Baker School District reported 139 students listed as homeless in 2014-15, according to data released last month by the Oregon Department of Education.

That's down three from the 142 students identified as homelessayearearlier.

The education department defines homelessness as students living in a shelter, a motel, sharing housing because of economic hardship or living in a vehicle, tent or other substandard housing.

Statewide,the numbers are up about 8 percent from a year ago, ODE reported.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 12, 1965 The city council, in regular session last night, discussed the possibility of a public housing program for the City of Baker.

Mayor Ralph E. McNeil appointed Councilmen Sid Johnson and Jesse Smurthwaite to work with City Manager Fred C. Dyer in checking out the feasibility of the program under the Public Housing Administration.

If accepted, the program would be financed through a local bond issue.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 12, 1990 Eastern Oregon's tourist industry is in line for a major boost from a package of attractions advanced by Oregon Congressman LesAuCoin, including construction funds for the Oregon Trail visitors center at Flagstaff Hill.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 12, 2005 By a 4-3 margin, the Baker City CouncilTuesday committed $100,000 per year for 10 years to market a proposed convention center.

The council also instructed City Manager Steve Bogart to negotiate a contract with Sidway Investment Corp., which plans to build the center next to the Geiser Grand Hotel. That contract with replace a memorandum of understanding and will be ready for the council to consider during its Nov. 8 meeting.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 13, 2014 While it's unlikely that the deadly Ebola virus will reach Idaho or Oregon, St. Alphonsus hospitals in the region would be able to care for a patient at least for a period of time, a hospital spokesman said today.

The immediate needs of anyone coming to the hospital with early symptoms of Ebola, such as a fever and a history of recent travel to West Africa, could be taken care of at the Baker City hospital until symptoms reached a more critical stage, said Josh Schlaich, St. Alphonsus Health Service spokesman in Boise.

At that point the patient would be transferred to a "Level 4 bio-safety center," such as the one in Dallas whereThomas EricDuncan diedWednesday.

State Sen. Ted Ferrioli, in his 20th year at the Oregon Legislature, will seek reelection in 2016.

Ferrioli, a Republican fiom John Day who represents Baker County and is the Senate Minority Leader, said one key motivation is that he still believes he has a lot to offer voters.

As minority leader, he said he believes his influence benefits his constituents. ''What can I offer? Well I thought about that. I have enough clout to affect outcomes for my constituents," Ferrioli said.

He said he learned early in his career representing District 30 — an area that includes Baker, Grant, Harney, Jefferson, Malheur, Wheeler and portions of Clackamas, Deschutes, Lake, Marion and Wasco counties — that hisrolerevolvesaround the concept oflistening carefully to voters. Ferrioli said when representingDistrict30he was told that voters wanted a politician who would listen to them. He said that is guidance he has tried to follow.

"People in District 30 are not shy about telling you what they want done," Ferrioli said."And people are not atraid to tell me when they think I've made a mistake.

The district runs you, you don't run the district. I don't need headlines. I think it can be self-serving."

"Ihave enough cloutto affect outcomes for my constituents."

— State Sen. Ted Femoli, R-John Day, on why he will seek re-election in 2016

Ferrioli's role in state government has evolved over the years. He has spent much ofhis time behind the political scenes and away from television cameras.

A case in point, he said, was his work as the co-vice chairman of the Measure 91 implementation committee.

Measure 91, which legalizes recreational use of marijuana by people 21 and older, was passed by voters in November 2014 and took effect July 1 of this year.

Ferrioli said he helped push the bill that allows counties where at least55 percent of voters opposed Measure 91 to ban retail sales of marijuana.

The opt-out law also allows cities within those counties to approve ordinances banning sales.

Both Baker City and Baker County have done so.

"If we didn't, sooner or later we were going to face litigation," Ferrioli said."I felt I was in apivotalplace togetthat done andIfeltgood aboutit," he said.

Another past success that Ferrioli achieved carried distinctive civil rights implications but was really all about making the system work well, he said.

Ferrioli was instrumental

cers through the iDPSSTl training as the jurisdictions around them do, they can be certified," Ferrioli said.'The sheriffs were against it. So we put a'sunset'period on it. At the end iof the sunset period) every police agency in the state stood up to end the sunset," he said.

Ferrioli said the effort was about common sense. ''When I make a 911 call I don't care what color the uniform is, I just want a cop," he said.

Ferrioli said he strives to stay well-informed about issues in his district, and that means sifling through Eastern Oregon newspapers every day and, when an issue arises, looking at the challenge holistically.

For example, an issue regarding water use might crop

pressure on iOregonl DEQ to label areas waters of the United States? And, if so, how doesthataffectonion producers?" he said.

Ferrioli said that although wolves are probably here to stay, he think it's time to review plans to delist the animals.

"And implement the imanagementl plan we have on the backburner," he said."A full management plan would include removal of problem wolves or hunting."

Finding a viable path to createa transportation plan forthe stateisalsoone of Ferrioli's goals. He also has his sights set on other transportation concepts, including the creation ofpassenger air serviceroutesoutofEastern Oregon.

"My future dream is scheduled iair commuter) tratfic linking several cities with a hub," he said.

That concept faces significant budget challenges, but Ferrioli said the idea to financially promote the service should not be discarded. ''Wesubsidizetransportation, we do it with tratfic and rail, so it is not outrageous that we adopt that concept," he said.

LOCAL BRIEFING Hospital auxiliary book fair set for Oct. 26

• Couple will match up to $500,000 to support faculty member to lead 4-H programs A formerBaker County woman and her husband have offered to match up to $500,000 in gifts to support an endowed professorship through Oregon State University to support the county's 4-H youth program.

Connie iHowardl Kearney and her husband, Lee, made the challenge gift.

It will establish Baker County's first endowed professorship.

It is named the Janice Cowan Baker County 4-H Professorship endowment, honoring Cowan, the OSU faculty member who is retiring after working for 25 years in Baker County.

The endowment will provide a permanent source of money for a full-time faculty member to lead 4-H programs

HOUSING Continued ~om Page1A There were 18,902 homeless students in 2013-14 compared with 20,524 in 2014-15.

Every Oregon school district employs a homeless liaison who is responsible for connecting families with servicesand supporttohelp studentssucceed despit e the hardships they face.

Betty Palmer, assistant superintendent, is filling part of the liaison role this fall for the Baker School District afterretirements and resignations left the spot open.

Mindi Vaughan, former middle school principal, who had been assigned to replace retiring Kim Virtue in the liaison position, instead took a job as principal at Mac-Hi in Milton-Freewater this fall.

In Vaughn's place, the districtasked Virtuetoreturn "in a very limited capacity" to provide "feet-on-the-ground" support for families, Palmer said. Virtue is working from the high school guidance office.

"I'm really grateful Kim stepped up and was able to help us out this year," Palmer sald.

As an administrator, Palmer takes care of the paperwork end of the program.

The district plans to have someone else in the liaison role next year, she said. ''We are trying to identify the right person who can connect with families, connect with kids and who can be an advocate for them," Palmer sald.

With her years of experience, Virtue knows where to go for an extra backpack or how to connect a family who could benefit from the help of the Bulldog Bubbles laundry service.

She knows where to secure school supplies and the ins and outs of connecting families with more suitable lodging or transportation services.

At the high school level, Virtue keeps an eye on

in Baker County, which have been operating for 110 years.

The Kearneys, who live in Vancouver, Washington, are among OSU's most activevolunteer leadersand generous philanthropists.

The Kearneys are also one of the three couples who owned Anthony Lakes Ski Area for several years before giving the resort to Baker County in 2010.

Connie, a retired attorney, grew up in Baker County, where she participated in 4-H. She serves as treasurer on the Oregon4-H Foundation Board of Trustees.

When she was a teen, a statewide 4-H summer conference first brought

Connie to the OSU campus, where she wouldlatergotocollegeand meet Lee, her future husband.

"4-H played a pivotal role in my life.

4-H taught me how to cook, sew and can," she said.'We believe an endowment is the best way to ensure that fundsare always available to support leadership for these young people. We hope our challenge grant will encourage others to financially support Baker County 4-H." The Janice Cowan Baker County 4-H Professorship willsupport programs such as the Field to Fork day, school garden projects, afterschool activities and the traditional animal husbandry projects.

"We are trying

to identify the right person who can connect with families, connect with kids and who can be an

advocatefor them."

students as they make their way toward graduation and even works one-on-one when necessary to help students succeed. ''We are constantly trying to liase for families who might need help," Palmer said.'We have good family support from the community."

Free clothing and hygiene items are available for the entire family at Marla's Mall in the basement of the North Baker campus at 2725 Seventh St. And free and reduced-price meals are provideddaily ateach ofthe schools.

The largest number of students termed homeless in the Baker School District, as well as throughout state, fall into the category of those who are "doubled up" or sharing housing with other family members or friends.

There were 124 Baker students in that category this year, down seven from 131 a year ago.

Statewide, that number increasedfrom 14,275 in 2013-14 to 15,298 in 2014-15, the ODE report stated.

The number of unaccompanied youth who were homeless in the Baker School District totaled 29 in 201314 and 26 in 2014-15. There were eight who were unsheltered giving in a vehicle, tent or other substandard housingl in 2014-15. The number in that situation in 2013-14 was toofew to reportbecause of confidentiality, according to the state.

"I think what's happened is our definition has changed," she said.'We've always had 4omelessnessl in some capacity ... we just didn't have it on our radar."

Palmer adds, however, that in recent times there seems to have been anincrease in the number of multiple families living together in one home.

"Inthepast 15 years,I've seen an increase in doubling up of families and where it would be a really uncomfortable situation to handle," she sald.

While that might point to an improved economy, Palmer says it could just as easily indicate that students have moved.

There are at least a few well-known aphorisms

that highlight the fallibility of statistics.

'There are three kinds oflies: lies, damned lies, and statistics" — oken wrongly attributed to Mark Twain, although its actual origin is uncertainprobably is the most repeated.

Misleading statistics sometimes are innocuous.

But it's no minor matter when the source of a statistic is such a respected agency as the FBI, and the figures in question purport to show how often violent crimes happen in Baker City.

The FBI's 2014 national report attributes 61 violent crimes — 56 of those aggravated assaults — in Baker City.

That's considerably more assaults than are listed

for that year for La Grande (12) and Pendleton (15), and not that many fewer than the 75 that Bend, with 8 times Baker City's population, had.

Aggravated assault is either first- or second-degree assault, both of which are crimes in Oregon that carry mandatory minimum prison sentences of at least 70 months.

Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner was unequivocal in his assessment of the FBI's count of aggravated assault in the city in 2014:"Completely inaccurate."

Lohner noted that his department's annual report for that year shows 11 aggravated assault cases, and of those no more than seven had enough evidence to warrant police even writing a report.

Seven seems a much more plausible number, considering the figures for La Grande and Pendleton, neither of which, at least anecdotally, has a reputation as a vastly less violence place than Baker City.

The source of the discrepancy between the city's statistics and the FBI's is not clear. The city gives its statistics to the county's Consolidated Dispatch Center, which is the FBI's source.

The problem seems to be recent, at any rate — the FBI's 2013 report lists 24 aggravated assaults for Baker City.

Whatever its cause, the situation needs to be resolved.

Baker City's reputation, and quite possibly its attractiveness to people and businesses considering moving here, suffers if the FBI, without doubt the nation's most famous law enforcement agency, posts on its public website reports that strongly imply Baker City is a much more dangerous place than cities of comparable size in Oregon.

nionso er itte or wor ers What is the largest challenge workers face today? President Barack Obama believes the answer is not enough union representation. That's why the White House recently hosted a summit arguing forexpanding union membership.

But what unions have to offer now appeals to few workers. Focusing on them divertsattention fiom greaterbarriersin the workplace.

Of course management gets the union it deserves. Employees have a statutory right to unionize. Employees mistreated at work will probably exercise that right.

But union representation has fallen primarily because most workers seelittle value in it.

Unions have little ability to raise wages anymore. In today's competitive economy, unionized firms cannot pass on those costsashigherprices;theircustomers will go elsewhere. The average union member makes more than the average non-union member, but primarily because union organizers target higherpaying companies to begin with.

Economists have compared companies whose workers vote to unionize to those that vote not to. Pay grows just as fast at the companies that remained non-union.

But without higher pay, unions only offer workers general representation. Many workers do not want these services. Collective union contracts necessarily ignore their individual contributions.

Consider what happened when a Giant Eagle grocery store in Pennsylvania tried to reward its employees' hard work. Managers gave two dozen workers performance-based raises above and beyond their union rates. United Food and Commercial Workers Local 23 promptly filed suit. It wanted seniority alone to determine pay. The arbitrator sided with the union and ordered the performanceraises rescinded. This mindset turns off many workers.

PRESIDENT OBAMA IN OREGON FRIDAY

Oregon pot sales top 11 million in First week

By Gosia Wozniacka Associated Press

ROSEBURG — Gunrights activists and others gave voice to strong emotions when President Barack Obama came to meet privately with grieving families whose loved ones were killed on a college campus in Roseburg.

During Obama's brief visit on Friday, many residents showed anger over the callhe made soon afterlast week's shootings for more gun restrictions.

However, there were also Obama supportersamong the people waiting behind a security fence near the airportto catch a glimpse of the president.

They included two men on bicycles — Phil Benedetti and John Poole.

"I want to support our president," said Benedetti, a Roseburg physician. "This isn't about gun control, it's about caring about the welfare of the small town and every small town when tragedy happens."

He said he owns several guns for hunting and chasing deer from his garden, but hebelieves assault weapons shouldn't be available to the general public.

More than 200 gun-rights activists also gathered

"I'm here to tell Obama he is not welcome in our county.

He is exploiting the local tragedy with his gun control agenda," said Bruce Rester, a retired truck driver who was wearing a handgun in a holster over his chest.

"Everybody should carry a gun. An armed society is a polite society."

As Roseburg buries its dead,it's also trying to heal. The complexities of residents' emotions were reflected in the signs that are everywhere around the community — at fast-food places, cafes and churches.

Some have messages like

Billie McMillian, a business owner from Eagle Point who attended the protest with her husband, said they came tosupport thefamilies of the victims and because they didn't agree with the president. ''We support the Second Amendment. It's our God-givenright to protect ourselves," she said.

Protesters also carried signsvoicing support for Sheriff John Hanlin, who has been highly visible during press conferences about the coll ege shooting.

Three years ago, after 20 children and six adults were shot dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, Hanlin sent alettertoVicePresident Joe Biden saying he

Poole,a retired property developer from Klamath Falls, said he too believes in the Second Amendment right to carry arms, but he alsosupports "rational,common sense gun laws."

Funerals for the nine victims of Harper-Mercer have been held throughout the week, and more were scheduled in the days ahead.

The college reopened Monday, and counselors have been on campus to help students, faculty and stafF deal with the trauma that all of Roseburg is feeling. Grief counselors are alsoavailable atnonprofit organizations.

During his visit to Roseburg, the president met with leaders of the community college to express his thanks and condolences.

Obama made no public appearances during his visit to the city. It is not known what Obama told the families of those killed in the campus killings.

Just before leaving Roseburg, he told a small group ofreporters:"W e're going to have to come together as a country, but today is about the families."

SALEM iAPl — Retailers sold more than $11 million of marijuana during Oregon's first week oflegal recreational sales, outpacing the early business done in other states thathave legalized pot,according to the Oregon Retailers of Cannabis Association.

Oregon retailers had sales of $3.5 million by the end of opening day, Casey Houlihan, the association's executive director, told the Statesman Journal 4ttp://is.gd/6L3fPcl. By contrast, Colorado's first week of sales reached $5 million. In Washington, sales during the first month hit

$2 million.

Under the state law approved by Oregon voterslast year, possession of marijuana in limited quantities has been permitted since July 1.

But there was no legal way to buy it until Oct. 1. Pot shops that already sell medical marijuana made big plans for the historic day, with some opening just after midnight.

One reason Oregon posted stronger early sales was the existing medical marijuana in&astructure. More than 250 medical marijuana dispensaries in Oregon have told the state they will sell to recreational customers. By contrast, Colorado had 24 stores on Day 1. Washington had just four, and a year later, still has fewer than Oregon.

Oregon also has a robust supply of marijuana that's grown to support medical marijuana users and the black market. Companies have invested in massive warehouses in Portland to grow the drug indoors, and southern Oregon has some of the nation's best conditions for outdoor cultivation of marijuana.

Growers don't face strict regulations yet, so the supply can more easily flow into retail stores than it did in Washington and Colorado.

Houlihan says shops are seeing customers coming back to potafteryearsofnotsm oking it.

"They're telling me that customers lining up are in many cases 50 to 65 and haven't purchased marijuana in decades, but they're just happy to have the opportunity to do so," he said.

Continued ~om Page1A The Baker City Police Department has worked with the Baker County Juvenile Department for years to have graffiti removed at no expense to property owners by juveniles who have court ordered community service.

The staff report maintains that the ordinance is well written and seems to accomplish the purpose for which it was intended. However, the ordinance treats all incidents the same and specifically doesnotallow for any different treatment based on the content of the graffiti.

The city attorney recommends that the ordinance be rewritten to define graffiti as anything"unauthorized" by the landowner or"otherwise considered nuisance by the city."

"The city attorney believes the ordinance needs to some flexibility that will require someone associated with the city to determine whether the content of graffiti rises to the level of a nuisance," accordingto the staffreport.

INMATE Continued ~om Page 5A "Mark does not have six months. His disease will kill him long before his federal litigation is concluded; long before focus groups, constituency round tables or social science research can be initiated, much less completed, on the efficacy or failure of the death penalty in Oregon. His disease will kill him long before the next election," lawyer Teresa A. Hampton wrote.

A spokeswoman for the governor said the request has been receivedand isbeingreviewed.

In his own letter to the governor on Aug. 5, Pinnell wrote, "I am a weak, old man. I pose no threat to society. I am very ashamed and sorry for what I did. I'm asking for mercy. Please release me from prison so that I can spend my last days near my family rather than at the Oregon State Penitentiary."

Pinnell and co-defendant Donald Cornell robbed and killed 65-year-old John Wallace Ruflner in 1985. Pinnell was convicted of multiple aggravated murder counts, including aggravated murder by torture. Cornel was acquitted on all aggravated murder charges by another jury in a later trial and was found guilty of the less serious charge of felony murder.

On Thursday, Hampton asked Brown to give Pinnell an answer while he is still alive. He was hospitalized twice in July for extended stats due to his illness.

'Time has run out for relief to come from the legal system," she wrote."At this point, only you can answer this request. If nothing else, Mark deserves an answer before he dies."

clo esline A puzzlement: Something I would really like to know. Is ice cream in its solid state considered a"fluid" dairy product, such as kozen in a quart or gallon container? While it is still kozen and before it melts and pours out of its container, is it considered"fluid dairy?"I don't think it does, but I wish someone who really knows would tell me.

She stands there in all her glory!

Isn't that what they say about Miss America and other beautiful ladies?

Well, dear Diary, this inanimate personagerepresentsallthebeautiful ladies (or gents) who ever did a washing and hung it up to dry.

Yes, it's my new clothesline.

My new property had come without a clothesline to its name and was put at the top of my list of necessities.

Then there was a delay, of course, because first I needed to go maintenancekee with my yard of weeds.

With a crew of knowledgeable and diligent workers, thedeed came tobe.

Now, rocks aren't for everyone, but for myself I think it's going to be just right — no more lawn mowing, getting wet kom pulling water hoses and adjusting sprinklers, fertilizing the grass or fighting noxious weeds.

It took several weeks to get on the list, planning, and actual completing of the task, but with the gracious acceptance of my neighbors and drivers-by to the long delay in getting rid of the waist-high weeds in the yard, the presence of the machinery, noise, and worker presence, coupled with the street disturbance ofgraveland rock piles,theworkers moved in thoughtful hours to complete the job to my satisfaction.

Once to my own devious ways alone, my treasured clothesline came into use under sunny or cloudy skies. Sheets, pillowslips, a blouse, and a bevy of bathroom and scatter rugs have graced the line, and, this morning when I hung out another batch kesh kom the workkee washing machine, I had a glimpse through the neighborhood tree branches to someone else's laundry hanging on a line.

This week I am sharing with you a few recipes to help you incorporate cucumbers into your diet.

Brenda's Namasu Salad was a huge hit in my home. It was quick and easy to make and a perfect side to most any meal. I encourage you to get creative with this one — there are endlessways toprepare thissalad.

My husband and I really loved the Cucumber Ranch Dressing recipe. It is light and refreshing, perfect for dipping most anything, very similar to Tzatziki Sauce.

The Jicama Slaw was fun to make; I would suggest eating it the same day. It is also light and aperfectside dish.

And finally, what is not to love about bread, cheese and cucumbers, another fabulous recipe for your summer cucumbers.

Thanks to Mimi for sharing her lemon cucumbers with me. I used them for most of these recipes and will definitely be growing them next year. When the ingredients called for a cucumber I used three lemon cucumbers depending on their size.

I also want to thank Brenda for her Namasu Salad recipe; I will be making this often.

Have a great week, folks.

Red bud tree: Beautiful in spring & fall Fall is a great time to plant trees, or so Ihave been told and so Ihaveread.

I am not a tree expert (or any kind, for thatmatter), but I know what I like.

When my husband renovated a building and property for his office a number of years ago he was required to put in a certain amount of trees. He had a list to choose kom and one was Eastern Red Bud. I have fallen in love with that tree.

It has the prettiest little blooms in the spring and then gets really beautiful leaves. It is a very nicely shaped tree and one I wish we had at home. To truly appreciate the blooms you need to see them up close.

1 medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and grated on the large holes of a box grater 1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk 1/4 cup mayonnaise 31/2 tablespoons (about1 lemon) fresh lemon juice 11/4 teaspoons coarse salt Pinch of cayenne pepper 3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped Stir together all the ingredients and chill for 30 minutes.

Cucumbers: More Than 3ust Pickles Cucumbers contain Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, folic acid, Vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

If you press a cucumber to the roof of your mouth using your tongue for 30 seconds it will eliminate bad breath.

Cucumbers ease facial swelling, which explains why they are often used in spas.

If you rub a cucumber slice on your bathroom mirror it helps to eliminate fog and creates a lovely spa fragrance.

SeeCukes/Ebge 2B

The outside waxy coat will erase ink pen mistakes.

Wiping cucumber over your bathroom faucets, sinks and stainless steel removes tarnish and built up residue, leaving it clean, shiny and smelling fresh.

Placing a cucumber in boiling water releases chemicals and nutrients that react with the boiling water creating a steam full of soothing and relaxing aroma, a great stress reliever.

And for the last cucumber fact, cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to aid in hangover prevention by just eating acoupleslices before you goto bed and upon waking.

DECORATING WITH DRIED FLOWERS

By Liz Douville

do the job and all you have to do is cut them.

The bushy perennial oregano is the one to look at for drying, not the annual culinary variety. It is the reddish purple bracts around the blossoms that dry well. I keep threatening to dig mine out, but maybe 111 look at it in a renewed light.

The fuzzy gray leaves of lamb's ear should be dried flat for tucking into an arrangement or added into a wreath.

For WesCom News Service

Dusting off a shelf of gardening books I was reminded gardening doesn't have to end with the kost.

This came to my attention upon noticing several books on gatheringand drying materials kom the garden that hadn't been opened in a while.

That was a good excuse to put down the dust cloth, make a cupofcoffee and revisita process I did for many years.

Itstarted in the 1980s,the heyday of dried bouquets and potpourri. I grew hundreds of strawflowers and statice and picked through baby's breath fields gone wild, creating bouquets I sold at a Saturday market.

Looking through the books, especially"Everlastings" by Patricia Thorpe and Malcolm Hillier's "Decorating with Dried Flowers," I realized how much I missed that end-ofseason hurrah.

It is a little late to find garden flowers at their prime, which is when they should be picked and dried. The two most common methods are air drying or using a granular desiccant, usually silica gel.

There are also methods for drying in the microwave. I preferred the natural look of materials that had been airdried,plusthefactitwas the easiest to just strip off unnecessary foliage, band a bunch of fl owersand hang in the garage to dry.

Borax, cornmeal, kitty litter and sand are among the common household items that can be used to dry flowers. An

Of all desiccants, silica gel is the best to use and can be used many times. When the blue indicator crystals turn pink, it has absorbed all the moisture it can. Recharge the gel by heating it in an oven at 225 degrees for several hours torestorethe blue color.

Pressing flowers is another way to preserve and eventually use in a craft project. The tradition of pressing pansies between the pages of the dictionary is a familiar childhood memory for many of us. In this electronic age, do families even have a dictionary on the bookshelf? Do they have a bookshelf? Thoughts to ponder another time. If you had developeda seriousinterest

in the process, a flower press was added to the Christmas wish list.

Pressed flowers have gone beyond pansies. Foliage, especially delicate leaf structure, or the fern konds are pressed forstylized kamed pieces.

If your garden has passed its peak for bloom, the dried seed heads can be combined with ornamental or native grassesfor anaturalfall arrangement, perhaps for an outdoor entry way. We always seem to give up on outdoor containers once the petunias or geraniums fade out at the end of the season.

Think of the herb garden as asourceofm aterials providing a variety of foliage color, shape or kagrance. The immature seed head of chives or other allium species would be dried upright so the flower heads keep their globular shape. Ifyou wait long enough, Mother Nature will

Think of poppy pods that have already dried naturally.

I was shocked to find that some critter had eaten most of my dried pods. It wouldn't have been the deer. I suspect it might have been the chipmunk I saw scampering around in that vicinity. Lesson for next year, grab 'em before some cri tterdoes.

The common teasel iwhen it's green you can scrape off its prickles) or the common dock that can be picked at any stage kom green to rich burnt umber will add color and texture. Even the native rabbitbrush has merit in a fall arrangement.

Rose hips and the changingcolorofbranches snipped kom vines shouldn't be overlooked.

Have you trimmed off any tree branches with interesting bark or shape?

Less is sometimes more when itcomes to eye appeal.

If you have ever picked up a fall leaf and enjoyed its beauty, you are a perfect candidate for enjoying the craft of drying. We just need to look at our landscape in adifferent light in a different season.

By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

In this recipe, use any variety of firm, tart apple or tart-sweet apple. This cake gets a fiber boost kom whole wheat flour.

It's best to substitute whole wheat flour for only half of the all-purpose in most recipes. If the recipe calls for 2 cups all-purpose flour, use 1 cup all-purpose and 1 cup whole wheat. If you use only whole wheat flour when the recipe calls for all-purpose, the product could turn outtoo heavyand dense.

Another product that can be used is white whole wheat flour. This flour is softer in texture than 100 percent whole wheat flour, but still has fiber benefits.

Use the same ratio when substituting white whole wheat flour for all-purpose.

APPLE COFFEE CAKE Serves: 9/ Preparation time: 15 minutes/Total time: 1 hour, 5 minutes This cakefreezes we/I. Wrapit tightlyin plastic wrap, then place itin a freezerquality plastic bagor wrap it again in foil.

Spray an 8-by-8-by-2inch square pan with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix s/4 cup brown sugar, the canola oil, buttermilk, applesauce, egg and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt. Stir the sugar mixture into the flour mixture and blend until the solids are evenly moistened. Stir in the apples. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the rerniini n "/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

Cook'snote:Thiscake also can be made in a Bundt pan for a different look. Instead of sprinkling the brown sugar-cinnamon mix on top after pouring the batter into the pan, spray the Bundt pan as directed above. Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture in the pan, then pour the batter in, smoothing out the top.

GOP is a party in chaos, desperately in search ofa leader.

In the unruly U.S. House, Republicans enjoy a nearhistoric majority, yet deep divisions between ultraconservatives and more traditional GOP lawmakers havelef tthem ata lossover who should be in charge. In the Republican presidential primary, experienced governors and senators — long the party's national leaders-inwaiting — are overshadowed by outsiders like Donald Trump who only seem to get stronger as they challenge the GOP establishment.

Trump evenclaimed he helped push California Rep. Kevin McCarthy out of the race for House speaker this week, a shocking pullback by a lawmaker seen as the heir apparent.

'They're giving me a lot of credit forthat,becauseIsaid you really need somebody very, very tough," said Trump, the brash billionaire who has led GOP primary polls throughout the summer and fall.

McCarthy was felled by the same factorsthatled current Speaker John Boehner to announce his resignation: a rebellion among members sent to Washington by voters who believe the party has compromisedfartoo often with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.

The challenge now facing Republicans is not only looking for leaders to unite the party's warring factions,but

Ryan and say he's not a good Republican or he's not loyal," Rep. Peter King, R-N.Yu said.

"He has the stature nobody else has right now."

Yet it's telling that Ryan, a budget expert and the GOP's vice presidential pick in 2012, has so far said he doesn't want the job. He's left the clearimpression that ascending to speaker in the current political environment would be more detrimental than helpful to his political future, which includes White House ambitions.

Indeed, the next speaker will face a quick test to corral lawmakers who equate compromise with surrender. Congress must lift the nation's debt limit by early November in order to avoid a default and faces a Dec. 11 deadline to pass a budget and keep the government open.

determining whether finding them iseven possible.

For all the talk about ideology, the split among Republicans is often more about tactics. Boehner and McCarthy are both staunchly conservative lawmakers, but members elected in the tea party-era openly question whether they can be trusted to hold the line in budget negotiations and on other matters.

In the House, some Republicans are begging Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to step into the void. Ryan is no more conservative than Boehner — like the outgoing speaker, he has called for immigration reform — but he's widely respected in the party and seen as one of its intellectual leaders.

Sacramento stops Blazers SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — Darren Collison scored 18 points and DeMarcus Cousins had 16to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 94-90 preseason victory over the PoltlandTrail Blazers on Saturday night.

The Kings ran off 12 straight points in the fourth quarter and held Portland scoreless for more than 5 minutes.

Baker traveled to Ontario Friday and opened the Greater Oregon League season with a 29-13 win over the Tigers.

Baker coach Dave Johnson has always divided the team's season into three parts.

Part1isthepreseason. Part 2 is the GOL regular season. And Part 3 — ideally — is the playoffs.

"This was a great win on the road," Johnson said.

"Now it's on to Part 2 of the league championship run."

Johnson said Friday's Homecoming game against La Grande is most likely for the GOL title.

"La Grande can put points on the board," he said."It will be the big scoring machine against the prolific defense."

La Grande (1-0 in the GOL) is scoring 42 points a game, while Baker (1-0 in the GOL) is allowing 19 points a game.

Johnson noted that the Baker defense stopped Ontario on nine of 11 thirddown attempts Friday, and 2 of 3 fourth-down tries.

Ontario actually scored first, with 4:07 left in the first quarter.

Baker quickly responded, scoring on a 1-yard quarterback run by Brad Zemmer with 9:10 left in the first half.

"Givecreditto the kids.

It was the second week in a row where our opponent has scored first and the kids have responded," Johnson sald.

Baker's defense shut down the Tigers the rest of the game. Ontario's other score came on an interception

Offensively, the Bulldogs ran for more than 200 yards.

Marcus Plumley led Baker with 139 yards on 25 carries. aWe dida greatjob ofrushing the ball," Johnson said.

"All of our backs ran hard.

We had a lot of guys touch the ball. That's something we always try to do, but it doesn't always happen."

Plumley added a 1-yard TD run late in the second quarter to help boost Baker up 15-7 at halfbme.

Baker's defense then

played a role in the Bulldogs' first score in the second half.

With Ontario backed up to its own 5, the Tigers were forced to punt.

Baker managed to partially block the kick, recovering on the Ontario 5.

Zemmer then hit Grant Berry for the touchdown on the next offensive play.

The Bulldogs completed their scoring later in the third period when Zemmer found Brandon Stairs over the middlefor a 41-yard touchdown.

The Broncos (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) jumped out to a quick 17-0 lead before the Rams (2-4, 0-2) had even moved the chains.

"That's hard to come back from, especiall y against a Top 25 team,"said Rams star receiver Rashard Higgins, who was held to three catches for 42 yards.

With about a minute to play, DaMarcus Smith threw a 9-yard touchdown pass toCarlos Harris for North Texas. The Mean Green finished with just 198 yards of offense.

EUGENE — Washington State quarterback Luke Falk held his breath on his final touchdown pass against Oregon.

Falk threw for a seasonhigh 505 yards and five touchdowns, including a momentary nail-biter that turned out to be the game winner, and the Cougars snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Ducks with a 45-38 victory in double overtime on Saturday night.

Knotted at 38, an unnecessary roughness penalty on the Ducks helped Washington State get closer in the second OT. Then Falk threw to River Cracraft, who was brought down right at the goal line — but the ballpopped out ofhis hands and into the hands of Robert Lewis, who ran into the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown.

The play stood on review, and Oregon's subsequent drive ended in an interception — sending the Cougars rushing onto the field at Autzen Stadium in celebration.

"I thought (Cracraftl was in because I thought he broke the plane," Falk said."And then I saw it bounce up and thought'Oh crap.' But Robert was right there."

The game-winning TD even had Cougars coach Mike Leach confused for a moment.

"Just from where I was sitting it looked like River scored right away, end of the story," Leach said.

BRIEFING Eastern powers past NCU in three games LA GRANDE — Sophomore outside hitter Amanda Miller swung in for a match-high 15 kills, and the No. 7 Eastern Oregon University volleyball team confined Northwest Christian iNCUl to a negative .020 hitting percentage to take down the Beacons in straight sets i25-22, 25-11, 25-21l on Friday night.

With the win, EOU improved to 17-1 and 12-0 in Cas-

cade Collegiate Conference iCCCl play.

Miller attacked for five kills in each stanza to pace the Navy and Gold, while junior middle hitter Kasaundra Tuma and sophomore right side hitter Isabelle Statkus tallied five and four kills, respectively.

Junior setter Rachelle Chamberlain recorded 29 assists and four block assists, and senior libero Piper Cantrell directed the back row with a match-high 13 digs.

Blue 3ays one win from advancing ARLINGTON, Texas iAPl — Rougned Odor kept starting double plays for the Texas Rangers, then first baseman Mitch Moreland turned a nifty one that only delayed the

big blow.

After Odor had big defensive plays in three consecutive innings, Troy Tulowitzki hit a three-run homer right after Moreland's 3-2-3 double play in the sixth, and the Toronto Blue Jays went on to a 5-1 victory Sunday night that prevented the Rangers from sweeping the best-of-five AL Division Series.

'These guys did a really good job at limiting the damage, got the double-play balls when we needed them," manager Jeff Banister said."Really the big blow was, I think it was a changeup to Tulowitzki.... But the margin of error in these type of games is so slim that one pitch typically can get you, and that's really was the story tonight."

Leading the series 2-1, Texas has another chance Monday to clinch it at home. If not, a deciding Game 5 will be played Wednesday in Toronto, where the Rangers won the first two games.

"Every game in the playoffs you want to have that feeling of a must win, just for the simple fact thatyou want to really get after it and don't get flat," said Josh Hamilton, who snapped an 0-for-31 postseason slump with a fikhinning single.

On way to its first World Series in 2010, Texas opened the ALDS by winning the first two games at Tampa Bay, before losing both home games and then having to beat the Rays on the road in the decisive fifth game.

The Rangers are 1-8 in ALCS games at home, and 8-5 on the road.

Astros take 2-1 series lead over Royals HOUSTON iAPl — Dallas Keuchel's perfect performance in Houston this year has the upstart Astros one win away from the American League Championship Series.

Keuchel remained undefeated at Minute Maid Park with seven gutsy innings and Chris Carter homered Sunday, leading the Astros to a 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals for a 2-1 edge in their Division Series.

The Astros could wrap up the best-of-five matchup with a win over the defending AL champions in Game 4 on Monday.

Houston's remarkable run comes just two years after the team lost a franchise-worst 111 games in a thirdstraight100-lossseason.

"I think that success is a lot more sweet when you kind of go through hardship like we did the first couple years that I was up here," Keuchel said."But it's really not a confidence that has grown. It's been here the whole time ... just now that we're getting to the playoffs and on a national stage ... it's a shock to a lot of people."

Keuchel, who shut down the Yankees in the AL wildcard game, worked out of jam after jam, allowing five hits and one run with seven strikeouts after going 15-0 at home this season, a modern major league record. He has a 1.45 ERA at Minute Maid Park in 19 starts this year.

'The ball in Dallas Keuchel's hand brings an awful lot of confidence to a lot of people. Including me,"Astros manager A.J. Hinch said."And he came up with some excellent pitches."

Mariners fire McClendon as manager SEATTLE iAPl — Given the opportunity that he didn't get in his previous stop as a general manager, Jerry Dipoto decidedthe bestmove forthe Seattle Marinerswas to bring in his own field boss from the start.

That was reasoning behind Dipoto's decision to fire manager Lloyd McClendon on Friday after two seasons.

Instead of moving forward with someone who had differing baseball views, Dipoto will start his tenure in Seattle with someone he chooses.

McClendon's firing was far from a surprise and came less than a week after the Mariners concluded a disappointing 76-86 season. Seattle started the year with expectations of contending in the AL West and reaching the postseason, but instead finished in fourth place in the division.

Winterhawks shut out Spokane 5-0 PORTLAND — Adin Hill made 23 saves while Alex Schoenborn and Rodrigo Abols had a goal and two assists each as Portland picked up its first win of the season by blankingSpokane 5-0in We stern Hockey League play Friday.

Paul Bittner, Cody Glass and Keegan Iverson also scored for Portland i1-3-0l.

Tyson Verheist turned away 32 shots for the Chiefs

i3-3-0l.

Eastern women stop Corban in three LA GRANDE — The No. 7 ranked Eastern Oregon volleyball team kept on rolling with a 3-0 victory over Corban on Saturday.

The Mountaineers i18-1, 13-Ol won with scores of 25-23, 25-19, and 25-20.Amanda Miller led the EOU offensive attack with 17 kills, but Kasaundra Tuma wasn't far behind with 12 kills ofher own.

Elsewhere, Rachelle Chamberlain contributed 35 assists and Piper Cantrell led the Mountaineers defense with 19 dtgs.

It marked the 13th-consecutive win for the Mountaineers, who have not lost since Aug. 29 when they fell to Rocky Mountain College in five sets.

ST.LOUIS — Forone inning,Jorge Soler and all those Chicago Cubs rookies looked like playofF-tested veterans and the St. Louis Cardinals appeared shaken.

That's all it took.

Kyle Hendricks and Addison Russell had successful squeeze bunts and Soler capped a five-run second with a two-run homer ofF Jaime Garcia, and the Cubs held ofFthe Cardinals 6-3 on Saturday night to even their NL Division Series at a game apiece.

"Listen, I can't be more proud of our guys," manager Joe Maddon said. ''When you win a wild-card game like we did, I promise you, you settle in. We didn't win yesterday but we were not overwhelmed byanything."

Maddon made all the right moves a

night after the Cubs lost the opener 4-0.

Now the teams shift to Wrigley Field for Game 3 Monday, thefi rstplayofFgame at the fiiendly confines since 2008, where Chicago's 22-game winner Jake Arrieta faces St. Louis' Michael Wacha in the fi best-of-five series.

"Getting back there 1-1 with our big dog on the mound, the atmosphere is going to be good,"Anthony Rizzo said.

The usually steady NL Central champion Cardinals made two errors as the Cubs didn't hit the ball out of the infield in scoring their first three runs in the second.

"It is hard to watch a club that's played so well defensively, see a couple things happen that are kind of uncharacteristic for us," manager Mike Matheny said.

Making his first postseason start, Soler connected ofF Garcia i0-1l, who

was lifted because of a stomach ailment after the second. The Cubs have been working Soler back into the mix after he returned from a left oblique strain in mid-September.

"All I was trying to do was help the team win," Soler said through a translator."He got a ball up where I could hit it hard."

Garcia told theteam he felta bit ill about an hour before the game but thoughthe'd befi ne.

"I was going to pitch, it was my game," Garcia said."Iworked sohard allyear for this situation and unfortunately it didn't go my way, but no excuse."

Dexter Fowler, Soler and Starlin Castro each had two of Chicago's six hits in a game played in front of a lively crowd of 47,859, a postseason record at 10-year-old Busch Stadium, that included thousands of Cubs fans.
