Opponents of Idaho Power Company's proposed Boardman-to-Hemingway power transmission line worry about how the line, with towers as tall as 195 feet, would affect views of the OregonTrail, including from the BLM's OregonTrail lnterpretive Center atop Flagstaff Hill.

prevent Idaho Power Company from building a power line across the Oregon Trail just east of Baker City. Gail Carbiener, 81, lives in Bend. But he has spent quite a lot of time walking the route of the Oregon Trail not just in Baker County but across the West. "I've walked every single solitary step of that trail, more than once," Carbiener said. His concern is that Idaho Power's proposed Boardmanto-Hemingway iB2Hl 500-kilovolt power line, with towers up to 195feethigh,would degrade the views of, and from, the Oregon Trail. "The chance to go out and see the same things that immigrants saw — you can still do thatina lotofplaces,"Carbiener said. But not, he contends, if there's a power line in the foreground or background. Carbiener, who is a member ofboth the Oregon-California Trails Association and an ex officio member of Oregon's Historic Trails Advisory Committee,has actively opposed the B2H project, and in particular Idaho Power's preferred route that passes near the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center about five miles east of Baker City. But rather than advocate

places."

— Gail Carbiener, who womes about the visual and other effects of the proposed Boardman-to-Hemingway power transmission line

only for alternate routes that would have a lessereffecton the Oregon Trail, he decided to question whether Idaho Power has even justified the need for a new power transmission line. To that end, Carbiener asked the Western Law Environmental Center, and specifically its Eugene office, for help. John Mellgren, a staff attorney at that office, responded by writing a 31-page comment to the BLM, which is the lead federal agency in studying the potential environmental effects of the B2H project. The comment, which responded to the BLM's draft environmental impact statement iDEISl for the B2H project, was submitted on behalf of Carbiener, the OregonCalifornia Trails Association, the Hells Canyon Preservation Council in La Grande, Oregon Wild and WildEarth Guardians. Idaho Power contends that the B2H line, which would run between Boardman, which is west of Hermiston, and the

Hemingway substation near Melba, Idaho, would: • "Enable transportation of low-cost energy from various generation sources in the Northwest and Intermountain West to serve homes, farms and businesses in both regions, including allowing excess wind generation to flow throughout the regions to where it is needed." • "Improve system reliability and reduce constraints on the regional transmission system as demand for energy continues to grow." • "Connect the Intermountain West with the Northwest power grid to meet seasonal energy demands." Mellgren disputes Idaho Power's claims in his comment to the BLM, writing that: "Merely assuming that the Project will provide additional electrical load capacity between the Pacific Northwest and the Intermountain region of southwestern Idaho without actually determining whether or not there is a need for such additional electrical load capacity violates NEPA." Mellgren also argues that the BLM and Idaho Power didn't consider a sufficient range of alternatives in the DEIS, among them the possibility of building the power line in theInterstate 84 corridor, and burying the line in some areas.

A list of textbooks and instructional math materials that meet new state standards was released Thursday by the Oregon Department of Education. Curriculum implemented in the Baker School District over the past three yearsmainly Engage New York — was noticeably missing from the list. That is no surprise, said Betty Palmer, the district's assistant superintendent. That's because Engage New Yorkis considered"openeducationalresourcematerial." 'The state is prohibited from considering open educational resource material, which is not a published textbook," Palmer said. The district was not required to go through an adoption process to begin using Engage New York because it was considered a bridge that would help the district transition fiom the old curriculum, based on old standards, to a more rigorous curriculum needed to improve student performance on new state standards. The Engage New York material was selected bythe districtseveralyearsago because of its flexibility and the ability to modify it as necessary, which the district saw as a good thing, Palmer said.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 26, 1965 Mobile home owners were assured they will have more opportunities to express their views on a recommendation by the city planning commission that would restrict the homes in the future to trailer parks. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 26, 1990 Opponents ofAsh Grove CementWest's plan to burn tire derived fuel (TDF) testifying before the Baker County Planning Commission Thursday said the fuel was inadequately tested. Nearly all of those who testified said the plant should therefore be required to obtain a conditional use permit. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 26, 2005 Baker County Unlimited's budget crisis apparently is over. Baker City Mayor Charles Hofmann said afterTuesday's City Council meeting that the city will not cut BCU's share of city lodging taxes by $50,000 next year. The City Council voted 4-3 on Oct. 11 to divert $50,000 from BCU to promote a proposed 500-seat conference center next to the Geiser Grand Hotel. But on Monday Sidway Investment Corp, which owns the Geiser Grand and had planned to open the conference center, announced that it had terminated the project due to a lack of "broad community consensus." ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 27, 2014 Winds gusting to gale force buffeted Baker County Saturday night, snapping tree limbs, causing power outages and ripping off about half of the metal roof at the D5B Supply Store in Baker City. Gusts peeled off the roofing about 9:30 p.m. Saturday, after the store, at 3515 Pocahontas Road, was closed, manager Jim Bjork said this morning. A Baker City Police officer reported the damage after driving by the store and noticing what Bjork described as a "mountain of tin" on the east side of the store between the building and17th Street.

OREGON'S LOW-CARBON FUEL STANDARD

rible," Vevera said.

WesCom News Service

PORTLAND — Before starting to implement Oregon's low-carbon fuel standard, the state must first deal with some math thatisboth complicated and controversial. To make sure the program actually cuts as many emissions as purported under the complex renewable fuel policy, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is considering adopting models that account for the greenhouse gases indirectly emitted by renewable fuels when land is used to produce biofuels instead offood.The concept is known as indirect land use change, or ILUC. That type of accounting is a new and disputed science between climate experts and the companies that must comply with the low-carbon fuel program. It is maligned by some biofuels companies and reveredby climate scientists who say it's the only way to potentially cut emissions through the low-carbon fuel standard. The concept represents the latestthreatto a policy that will remain the biggest battlef ront overcombating climate change and funding transportation in Oregon during the next year. The state Environmental Quality Commission in December

will decide whether to ignore the concept and move forward without accounting for indirect emissions, or use the latest models and risk losing supportfortheprogram. "I am not a big believer in land use change as a means of calculating greenhouse gas emissionsbecause I think it's far too subjective," said Michael Vevera, Oregondevelopment adviser for the biofuels distributor Whole Energy, which has office sin allstatesthatare implementing or trying to implement a low-carbon fuel standard. Oil companies have already mounted a backlash against the low-carbon fuel standard, which Democrats greenlighted early in the 2015 legislative session. The standardalsoled to a

two-year pause on a transportation package in the Legislature, as Republicans oppose the policy, calling it a windfallfor out-of-state businesses, and Democrats say it's an important step to combat climate change. That clash eventually led to a stalemateover raisingtaxes to improve roads. But the indirect land use modelinghas made way for a new debate, this time involving not politicians but fuel producers, the policy's supportersand climate scientists who have differing views on the effectiveness renewable fuels policies have if they don't properly account for indirect emissions.

Delays on Stices GulchRoad Hunters and other forest users should expect delays of up to one hour along Forest Road 1130 in Stices Gulch during the last week of October and the first week of ¹ vember as crews clean culverts, cut dangerous trees and do other work in the area burned by the Cornet/Windy Ridge fire in August. Several other projects in the burned areas are planned on both public and private lands, according to the Forest Service. Baker County reminds people that while crews are working to reduce debris flows, erosion and flooding, floods are possible. To stay informed and to increase situational awareness, the County will use its mass notification system, Code Red, to alert residents of weather advisories. Those who have not signed up for Code Redare asked to do so by going totheBaker County Consolidated Dispatch center website http J/baker911. org orthe directlink athttpsJ/public.coderedweb.com/ CNE/6E3ED7D33882.

POWER LINE Continued ~om Page1A That route would largely alleviate Carbiener's and others' concerns about how the power line could affect the Oregon Trail. Carbiener said he believes"there'sa good chance"that the B2H line won't be built. Idaho Power doesn't expect the power line to be finished before 2021. Carbiener said his optimism is based in part on another major power transmission line that was proposed but later canceled. That was the 215-mile Cascade Crossing line between Boardman and Salem, proposed by Portland General Electric and the Bonneville Power Administration in

2009. The agencies canceled the project in 2013, citing changes in demand for the movement of electricity across the grid in the West. Several groups had opposed Cascade Crossing because it would have been built through the Mount Hood National Forest. If B2H is approved, Carbiener predicts lawsuits will be filed challenging the project. "It's a shame it's got to go that way," he said. In the meantime he is urging the BLM to write a supplemental draft EIS.

EDITORIAL

The deathofany baby istragic. But it seems to us that there is something uniquely terrible about an infant dying not because of a malicious act but because a parent, who perhaps wanted only to cuddle the child to sleep, made a mistake. We're writing here about co-sleeping. In 2009 three Baker County babies died from what doctors call"positional asphyxiation" that resulted from the babies sleeping near an adult. This year two other infants have died, and doctors said co-sleeping was a factor in both cases. Co-sleeping deaths not only are unintentional, they're avoidable. In many cases, experts say, a single, relatively inexpensive item likely would have saved a life that had

barely begun. A crib. That's the basis for the Cribs for Kids program, a national campaign that, thanks to the efforts of many local residents and agencies, is coming to Baker City. The programaims to ensure that every baby born in Baker City goes home with a crib that's safe to sleep in. Judith Bannon of Pittsburgh, Cribs for Kids founder and executive director, meet earlier this month with Baker County District Attorney Matt Shirtclif and Wade Swiger, an investigator in

Shirtclirs oKce. Cribs will be distributed at the Northeast Oregon Compassion Center at the Nazarene Church. Local groups are already collecting donations to pay for the

cribs, which are available for$49.99 through Cribs for Kids' deal with Graco Co. The cribs program is a natural complement to the existing local campaign to protect babies from co-sleeping. St. Alphonsus Medical Center-Baker City's Birth Center explains to parents of newborns how to put their babies to sleep safely. That means in a crib with no blankets, stuffed animals or other items that can potentially cause an infant to suffocate. The hospital also sends home a free sleep sack — a garment that keeps an infant warm but doesn't present the suffocation risk that a blanket does. We're gratified by the response, and the sense of urgency, behind the Baker County campaign to prevent co-sleeping deaths. Unlike so many other things that threaten innocent lives, this is one that we absolutely can defeat.

Stayin e course in Af anistan In response to what he called a'fragile" security situation in Afghanistan, President Obama recently announced plans to leave about 5,500 U.S. troops there when he leaves office. Yet more Americans paid attention to who was voted off'The Voice." Many of us treat the battles in the birthplace of 9/11 like most other foreign policy issues — something for Washington to worry about. But we ought to pay more attention. Our troops are still in harm's way. It's still a dangerous partofthe world,and there are no guarantees that squabbles over there won't spill over here. So what should we make of Obama's decision not to call it a day in Afghanistan? Interestingly enough, pundits did not always give the answers you'd expect. Conservative scholar Fred Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute declared the president's half-measures in the country have"charted a course toward yet another disaster in South Asia." But liberal Tom Hayden of the Peace and Justice Research Center was no happier, complaining, "It's time to strip the Obama sticker off my car." He wants the troopsout altogether. On the other hand, the very leftleaning Sen. Bernie Sanders supported the president's decision. Lisa Curtis, a regional expert at right-leaning Heritage Foundation, agreed."Obama has made the right choice in extending the U.S. troop presence in the country," she wrote. There's a reason, though, that the politic softhe expertsin thiscase saysso little about their comments. The political stakesin thepresident'sdecision are pretty small. Polls show that a major-

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Though it's still unclear just what new rules governing unmanned aircraft systems — government speak for droneswill be, one thing seems likely. Owners of both commercial and recreational drones will be required to register them with the Federal Aviation Administration. There's good reason for that. Drones are likely to be among the top Christmas gifts this year. As their appeal spreads, so does their misuse. As an example, droneswere reportedovertwo ofthe summer's biggest fires on this side of the Cascades: the County Line 2 Fire on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the Grizzly Bear Complex Fire that burned on both sides of the Oregon-

W ashington border.Ifdronesbearregistration numbers, officials may be able to tracktheirowners ifproblems arise. According to The Washington Post, drones have been used to smuggle drugs into prisons; they've been seen flying far too close to numerous airplanes, both commercial jets and small private craft; and atleastone crashed toocloseto the White House for comfort. Yet even a registration requirement won't come overnight. The FAA has given a task force until Nov. 20 to come up with a registration system. Meanwhile, while regulations governing commercial drones are not expected until at least next year, they may never arriveforrecreationalones.That'sbe-

cause Congress, in its wisdom, passed a law in 2012 prohibiting the FAA from regulatingrecreationaldrones. That said, the agency and several drone interest groups have teamed up to put out a series of recommendationsabout recreational drones aimed at keeping the machines, their operators and the general public safe. The recommendations are practical: Don't ly drunk and keep your drone in sight f at all times aretwo ofthe suggestions. They also suggest drone owners contact an airport, even a small one, if you plan to fly your drone within 5 miles and keep your drone low in the sky, 400 feet up or less. A full copy of the suggestions can be found at knowbeforeyouflyorg.

Qostricter gun lawsactuallV

reduceviolenceP • Researchers unable to establish a causal link between states with strict laws and their lower rates of violence By Ryan J. Foley Associated Press

Do states with stricter gun laws have less gun violence than those with few restrictions? Researchers who have studiedtheissue argue they generally do, but with some caveats. They cannot say whether the laws, or some other factors,arethe reasonforalowerrateof firearm deaths and that there are exceptions. President Barack Obama addressedthematterin a news conference hours after a gunman killed eight students and a teacher at an Oregon community college on Oct. 1. awe know that states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun deaths," Obama said. David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Contful Research Center, said Obama's claim was accurate and supported by many studies. The likely reason is that states with stronger gun laws have fewer guns and fewer suicides and homicides fiom them, he said. The White House says Obama based his claim on a report published in August by the National Journal, which found that states with the fewest gunrelated deaths — including homicides, suicides and accidents — had stricter laws than those with the highest number. The study looked at laws such as those that require permits to purchase handguns and universal background checks on sales. A study published in 2013 in the Journal of the American Medical Association compared firearm deaths in states to the number of restrictive gun laws each state had out of 28 tracked bythe Brady Centerto Prevent Gun Violence. Looking at 120,000 deaths over a four-year period, researchers concluded thata higher number of firearm laws in a state are associated with a lower rate of firearm fatalities in the state, overall and for suicides and homicides individually."They acknowledged exceptions, with

Hunting and fishing license costs in Oregon are steadily going up, starting next year and continuing every other year until 2020. An annual hunting license for an Oregon resident, which costs $29.50 this year, will increase to $32 next

will cost $38 next year, $41 in 2018 and $44 in 2020. Increases in the license costs are not new, but the frequency of the price bumps and the smaller size of the increases are, according to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Service data. Since 2004 the cost of annual hunting and fishing licenses forresidents has increased every six years, said Aaron Jenkins, economist with the agency in Salem. Gov. Kate Brown this summer signed a bill setting the gradual price increases, he said. awe would like the fees to edge up slowly rather than have a big jump," Jenkins said."People don't like big jumps in prices."

and Wildlife has seen a decline in thepercentage of Oregon resident hunting and fishing license sales. Forty years ago, in 1975, 18.9 percent of Oregon's 1.7 million residentsage 12to 69bought a hunting license and 34.6 percent of the 1.6 million residents age 14 to 69 had a fishing license. Numbers from 2013 showed a drop to 8.3 percent of Oregon's 2.9 million residents age 12 to 69 who purchased a hunting license and 17.4 percent of the state's 2.8 million residents age 14 to 69 who bought fishing licenses. Some hunters and anglers say the drop in the percentages could be linked to the rising license costs. KC Thrasher, president of the Redmond chapter ofthe Oregon Hunters Association, said he started hunting when he was 13. Ever since, he hasseen license costsrise, and he's 33 now."There has been quite the increase," he said.

Coos County voters might ban enforcement of new gun laws By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

SALEM — Voters in a rural Oregon county will vote next month on a ballot measure that seeks to prohibit enforcement of new gun laws. The decision to hold the election in Coos County follows the stateLegislature's vote earlier this year to require background checks for private, personto-person gun sales. SeeLawslPage GA

some states featuring loose restrictions but low rates of gun deaths. They also cautioned against drawing acause-and-ef fectrelationship, saying more research was needed. Because such studies also consider suicides in calculating firearm deaths, critics say it is misleading to cite them when arguing for ways to prevent mass shootings. Suicides account for the majority ofAmerica's roughly 30,000 annual gun deaths. Catherine Mortensen, a spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association, saidstudiesthathave found links between states' gun laws and firearm deaths fail to consider all the relevant factorsthat might influence fatality rates, such as how much moneyis spent in each state on policing and suicide-prevention. She said the 2013 study published in the medical association journal contained a scoring system for laws that was "subjective and not verified by an independent source." Authors conceded their scoring system"has not been validated."

DORY'S DIARY

HappyHalloween

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

OU t One day, having nothing in mind to w rite about,Idecided toreturn to an earlier question to which I had received no answer. My mind likes to play with facts like that. Not that I will remember or put the answer to use, but just a desire to quell my curiosity. The question was: "Is ice cream, in its frozen state, considered fluid-dairy?" This is the way I look at it, but I'm open to other opinions: Dairy products are "fluid" when they flow in a stream like milk and cream from pints, quarts, and gallons or coming fresh from the cow. Even buttermilk would qualify. Now, would butter be qualified as a"fluid-dairy" product when it is in a brick state? Same with ice cream when it's frozen. When they melt into a liquid stream they surely could both qualify, such as when it is a puddle of melted butter in the frying pan under heat and ice cream in a similar puddle when left in a warm atmosphere, both without the benefit of freezer cold. There are those who have experienced dipping ice cream from the cartonand forgetting to replacethe bulk back in the freezer only to find its remains on the kitchen counter, certainly reverted to its original form of being"fluid." But that brings up another question. Were the ingredients of milk and cream, sugar and perhaps eggs combined into a liquid declared to be fluid-dairy? Perhaps so. SeeDory IPage 2B

Once the sugar is at 335 degrees, you need to work quickly, please be safe with this hot mixture. The Meringue Ghosts were easy to make but fragile once baked. I have never attempted meringue before and I have to say I really don't get it. I found them tricky to store even though I had them in a sealed container they became a bit sticky. The eggs eyes are just fun and easy. Who doesn't love deviled eggs? For the pumpkin, thiswas a super fun dish to make and eat. The trickiest part is to make sure you have a large enough pumpkin to fit a bowl onto the top. I used a large cereal bowl

Way back in the spring or early summer I was lamenting that I couldn't find my favorite fuchsia, which is a June Bride. I was so fortunate to receive a contact from Susanna Ogston, who said she went to Baker City to get some and gave me the information about the place. A call yielded no results, so Susanna insisted she give me one of the three she had bought in little 4-inch pots. I was thrilled and also overwhelmed that she would share with me. When I arrived at her lovely home she literally dug a well-established fuchsia out of a big pot of mixed flowers. I felt guilty, but she insisted. SeeFuchsialPage 2B

C88 r88 80 8 88 • They're a little more involved than an ordinary cookie, but worth the eA'ort By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a marked day to remember family and loved ones who have died. This celebration takes part throughout Mexico as a public holiday. Before the Spanish colonized Mexico in the 16th century it was celebrated at the beginning of summer. Since then it has been moved to Oct. 31-Nov.2.This coincides with the Roman Catholic festival All Saints Eve and All Saints Day. This tradition is celebrated by building private altars to honor the deceased. Favorite food and beveragesofthedeceased

In other countries such as Brazil, Spain and in many Asian and African cultures, festivals and paradesareheld and peoplegatherat cemeteriesto pray fortheirdecease loved ones. Ihad never made Day ofthe Dead cookies, but when I came across these beautiful festive treats I had to try them. The cookies are crunchy, spicy and just plain delicious. This is a process of many steps. Once you make the dough you need to chill it in two separate disks for two hours. You then roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut the cookies placing them on a baking sheet and

freeze them for 15 minutes just before baking. Bake the cookies then let them cool. When putting the first layer of icing on you allow the icing to dry for 24 hours before you add thefaces.Iencourage you to decorate these cookies in a group, which is where the fun is. I used homemade icing, store bought icing, and candies in many different shapes, sizesand colors.Themost important partof this process is to have fun and to try not to eat them before you can share them.

Turn hard-boiled eggs into these creepy "eyes."

Butter the baking sheet. In a small mixing bowl stir the baking soda and vanilla until the soda dissolves then set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon, cayenne and salt. In a medium-sized saucepan, on medium-low heat, stir together sugar, /2 cup water, corn syrup, and "/4 cup butter until butter is melted and sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the heat to medium high and boil, stirring often, until it turns a deep amber and measures 335 degrees to 340 degrees on a candy thermometer, about12 minutes. Remove the mixture from heat and gently stir in vanilla and cinnamon mixtures, be careful they will bubble up. Add the pumpkin seeds and stir them in, then pour onto the baking sheet. Working quickly, use a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly spread and fill pan. Break up the chocolate and set on top of the brittle and smooth it over as it melts. Allow brittle to cool at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes. To release the brittle from the pan you can gently twist the pan or use a wooden spoon to break up into chunks. You can store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

: I have a problem with refrigerators. This rs the second refrigerator in a month that the storehas delivered.Now I am waiting for a new control, and I guess they will install it next Wednesday. Problem: It won't cool below 38 degrees, and the freezerdoesn'tgetdown to 0. Is this now the standard?Ifso,a lotofpeople aregoing to beeating a lot

set for that, but the range should be there. : Standards are ypically set by the government, hence the Department of Energy and the dishwasher rules I wrote about a few weeks

back.

The Food and Drug Administration's website, however, has this about temperature: "Keep your appliances at theproper temperaofspoiled food. tures.Keep the refrigIexpectarefrigeratorto eratortemperature at get down below 33 degrees or below 40 degrees F (4 ifsodesired and the degrees C). The freezer freezerto gettonegative-5 temperature should be degrees, ifdesired.Not 0 degree F (minus 18 that it would always be degrees C). Check tem-

peratures periodically. Appliance thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive." If the standard had been changed, the FDA's caveats would be pointless. I looked at the Sub-Zero/ Wolf website, because I considerthat brand to be the goldstandard ofrefrigeration — which means I can't afford one. It says the temperature range in a Sub-Zero with an electronic control panel is 34 degrees to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 7 degrees Celsius) in the refrigerator and minus-5 to 5 degrees F (minus-20 to minus-15 Celcius) in

Lemons do exist outside the produce section of the supermarket. Anything that is produced by human beings is subject to error, and that goes especially for major appliances.

For the decorating icing 3 Cups confectioners' sugar 2 Large egg whites 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Various food gels and candies You can use an oval cookie cutter and flatten one side that would be the chin or order a skull or day of the dead cookie cutter online. I ordered my cutter from Jet.com (they do not charge delivery). For the cookies In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and chile powder and set aside. In the bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer beat the butter and shortening together on medium speed until just combined. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, add the egg and vanilla, and beat until just combined. Add the melted and cooled chocolate and beat until uniform in color. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, add half the flour mixture, and beat for15 seconds. Scrape down the bowl again and then add the remaining flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Work quickly, the dough will be sticky, shape the dough into two disks. Use flour on your hands to help the process. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Working with one disk at a time, leave the other in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a lightly floured work surface roll out the dough to "/2-inch thick, flipping as you roll. Cut the cookies and place on a baking sheet, then put into the freezer for about15 minutes. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking time, until the tops of the cookies look set and are just beginning to appear dry. Remove and place on a cooling rack to cool. To ice the cookies Combine 3"/2 cups confectioners' sugar and the cream of tartar into a sifter and sift, then place in a Kitchen Aid. Slowly increase the speed to medium, add the egg whites and lemon juice, and mix until the icing is completely smooth. The texture should be a shiny glaze thin enough to pour. Add additional egg whites if the mixture is too thick. If the mixture is too thin, add the additional sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the icing into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (No. 3). Outline each of the cookies with the icing, then wait 15 minutes for the outlines to harden. Then fill in the icing within the outline.You should find that you will not need as much icing as you may think. This process is called flooding. To decorate After 24 hours of letting the first icing dry. Combine the confectioners' sugar with the egg whites and 1 teaspoon lemon juice and beat on low to medium-low speed until the icing is completely smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. A peak in the icing should be created when the paddle is lifted from the mix. Make any adjustments to the consistency by adding "/2teaspoon more egg whites or lemon juice at a time to thin the icing, or 1 teaspoon more confectioners' sugar at a time to thicken the icing. Divide the icing up into small bowls and add food coloring to get your desired color, making sure to keep a batch of white. Use a pastry bag with the No. 1 tip and have fun, the cookies can be kept in an airtight container in a cool and dry environment for 3 to 5 days. Do not wrap them in plastic wrap.

warmed enough to become a fluid once again. Is therea difference, then, between the two forms — liquid and solid? Are they both fluid-dairy or are they considered in separate states when one flows and the other doesn't? Is an ice cream bar a solid or fluid? Now this may not be the most important trivial question to face us each

today,but itdoes seem to give us food for thought and maybe does deserve some consideration when based on a 10-percent discount depending on the answer. I would like to hear from others who may struggle with just such wonder and could help me put my questiontorest. Is therea difference between dairy products and

Concealed guns survey

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press

A gun-conlrol organization backed by billionaire Michael Bloomberg that enlists motherstospeak outagainstgun violence is racking up some m odest victoriesaround the U.S., employing the state-bystate strategy used so effectively to fight drunken driving and expand gay rights. Everytown for Gun Safety and its subsidiary, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, have helped push six states since 2013 to adopt more background checks on gun sales — what they consider the single most important measure to prevent shootings. They have also helped thwart legislation in severalstatesthatw ould make it easier to obtain firearms and carry them in more places such as schools. The mighty National Rifle Association still has the upper hand in many places in the U.S. But Everytown, which aspires to become the NRA's counterweight, has certain advantages over prior gun-control campaigns, namely more money, strategic support &om the former mayor of New York, and a well-organized network of activist moms whose numbers are growing in reaction to recent mass shootings. ''We merged the head and the heart," said Everytown president John Feinblatt, who was a top mayoral aide to Bloomberg.'We have the smartest lawyers in the country working on this issue, but we also have people who will

AT A GLANCE

Kansas City wins to returnto W.S. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Lorenzo Cain raced in from the outfield about as fast as he had raced around the bases, hurrying to join the rest of the Kansas City Royals as they streamed onto the diamond in celebration. There was Eric Hosmer, hugging anyone in sight. And curmudgeonly manager Ned Yost, finally cracking a smile. And stoic closer Wade Davis, who let out a fierce roar Friday night when the Royals recorded the final out in Game 6oftheAL Championship Series, a white-knuckle, 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. A win that returned the Royals to the World Series. "We came in with one goal," Cain said a with a smile, and that was to get back." The Royals open the World Series on Tuesday night against the New York Mets, trying to do one win better than they did last year. In their first trip to the Fall Classic in 29 years, they lost in Game 7 to the San Francisco Giants with the tying run standing 90 feet from home.

Baker had an easy time in its final regular-season tune-up Friday in its Greater OregonLeague football finale at Milton-Freewater. The Bulldogs scored 27 points in the first quarter on the way to a 60-0 shutout of the Pioneers. "It was a great night and we were happy for the kids," said Baker coach Dave Johnson. "The kids did really well. W e had very a specialperformance by our kickofF team, and pitching a shutout is always good.

OREGON STATE FOOTBALL

SAN LUISOBISPO, Calif. (AP) — Alex Kuresa accounted for four touchdowns and Jonathan Gonzales kicked a 27-yard field goal with 33 seconds left to lift Portland State past Cal Poly 38-35 Saturday night. Kuresa completed 16 of 25 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns and added 101 yards rushing and two more scores. Gonzales added field goals of 35 and 36 yards in the first quarter. Touchdown runs of 40 and 15 yards by Kuresa gave Portland State (6-1, 3-1 Big Sky) a 28-21 lead with 3:57 left in the third quarter. Cal Poly (2-5, 1-3) tied it 2"/2 minutes later when wide receiver Kory Fox hit Kyle Lewis for a 57-yard touchdown. Kuresa hitTrent Riley for a 13-yard score on the Vikings' next possession.

WHAT'S NEXT

victory secured, Colorado's players dashed en masse to a corner of Oregon State's field where they led a small group of visiting fans in a loud rendition of their school's fight song. The streak was finally over. The Buffaloes snapped a 14-game losing streak in the Pac-12 with a 17-13 victory over the Beavers on Saturday night. Colorado's last league win was on Nov. 16, 2013, when the Buffs beat Cal 41-24 in Boulder. The victory over the Beavers also snapped a 13-game losing streak on the road against conference foes, with the last coming on Sept. 22, 2012, at Washington State,

35-34. "It was a total relief" Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said."It was just joy fiom my toes to the topofmyhead for our kids, for our coaches, for our fans, for my family, for everybody." Sefo Liufau threw for 140 yards and a touchdown, and ran for another score for

Colorado (4-4, 1-3), which had lost threestraightgoing

into the game. Ryan Nall ran for 122 yards and a touchdown for the Beavers (2-5, 0-4) who are the last team in the Pac12 without a conference win. The Beavers have lost four straight. Oregon State was expected to strugglethisseason as new coach Gary Andersen installs his new system. The Beavers were picked in the league's preseason media poll to finish last in the Pac12 North, while Colorado was picked to finish at the bottom of the South. "It's tough, no question about it,"Andersen said."I don't have a bunch to say." The Beavers shook things up a bit, starting redshirt freshman Nick Mitchell at quarterback, handing ofFto usual starter Seth Collins on the team's first offensive play. Collins re-took the reins on the next play, but the two rotated throughout the game. Mitchell was the Beavers' third-string quarterback, behind Collins and Marcus McMaryion, at the start of the season. But he has impressed the coachesin practice and this week moved up the depth chart.

Andersen said the dualquarterback system would continue going forward. On the Beavers' opening drive, true freshman Collins alsocompleted an 11-yard pass to Mitchell before Ryan Nall's 1-yard scoring run put Oregon State up 7-3. Colorado took the early lead with Diego Gonzales' 21-yard field goal on its first driveofthe game. Beavers starting cornerback Treston Decoud was injured when he was inadverlently hit by a teammate early in the second quarter and hadto betaken fiom the field by ambulance. He was taken to a local hospital and Oregon State reported he was moving his extremities. Andersen said Decoud was back in the locker room following the game. Receiver Nelson Spruce pulled down a 15-yard scoring pass from Liufau to give the Buffal oes a 10-7 lead, before Oregon State's Garrett Owens kicked a 42-yard field goal to tie it. The Buffaloes leaned on Spruce in the absence of Shay Fields, who led the team with 504 receiving yards, because of a highankle sprain.

Patriotsrallvto ton jets,stavnndeaten By Jimmy Goien AP Sports Wnter

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.— The fourth quarter started just in time for Tom Brady to overcome some early drops and lead the Patriots on a comeback. And it ended just in time for New England to hold on for a victory. Brady overcame New England's shaky first three quarters by throwing for a pair of touchdowns in the fourth, and the Patriots defeated the New York Jets 30-23 on Sunday to remain unbeaten. Brady completed13 of16passes for 135 yards in the final quarter to overcome a 20-16 deficit and give New

England i6-Ol a two-game lead over the Jets in the AFC East. The Super Bowl MVP was 34 of 54 for 355 yards overall — numbers that would have been evenbetterifnotforthe 11drops by his receivers, six by newly activated Brandon LaFell. The Jets rallied in the final minute, kicking a field goal on first down and then recovering the onside kick with 15 secondsleft.Butafter a shortpass from Ryan Fitzpatrick left the Jets 37 yardsfrom thetying score,afalse-start penalty on Brandon Marshall ended the game. Rob Gronkowski had a career-high 11 catches for 108 yards and a touch-

down, DannyAmendola had eight for 86 and a TD and Brady also scored on a keeperfrom the 1togive the defending Super Bowl champions their ninth straightvictory,dating to lastyear's playoffs. Brady also had an 11-yard scramble on a third-and-10, and with 15 rushing yards he was the Patriots' leading runner. The Jets i4-2l sacked Brady three times in the first half and the NFL's top-ranked defense otherwise made him uncomfortable in the pocket to take a 13-10 halftime lead. But the Patriots' injury-plagued offensive line responded in the second half, and so did Brady.

LOSANGELES—In

Eastern gridders demolish MSU-Northern

less than two weeks, Southern California went from the depths of a coach's firing to the heights of a wild celebration after beating the No. 3 team in the nation. Most of these Trojans have been on a roller coaster from the day they joined thisstoried buttroubled program. This particular peak sent them soaring over mighty Utah. Cameron Smith returned the second ofhis threeinterceptions 54 yards for a touchdown, and USC knocked the thirdranked Utes from the unbeaten ranks with a 42-24 victory Saturday night. Ronald Jones II, Justin Davis and fullback Soma Vainuku rushed for scores to help the Trojans i4-3, 2-2 Pac-12l snap their two-game skid and earn a victory for interim coach Clay Helton in his debut game at the Coliseum. 'These guys want to prove to everybody what type of team they are," Helton said.'When we play together and play like we did tonight, they're a very hardfootballteam to beat. There's a lot of talent in that room." Cody Kessler passed for 264 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score, while JuJu SmithSchuster had eight catches for 143 yards and a fourthquarter TD that wrapped up the win. The sounds of the Trojans' celebration could be heard through the walls of the Coliseum, where USC had lost its previous two home games. The Trojans were outstanding in their first appearance at the venerable arena since an embarrassing loss to Washington and the subsequent firing of coach Steve Sarkisian. After Helton took over for last week's narrow loss at Notre Dame, he became the eighth straight USC coach to win his first home game when his Trojans dominated the Pac-12 South leaders.

HAVRE, Mont.— The Eastern Oregon University football team registered its highest offensive output since 2008 under eighth-year head coach Tim Camp, as the Mountaineers toppled the Lights of MSU-Northern, 7230, on Saturday. 'The team played at a high level in certain phases of the game today, and because of that Eastern Oregon was rewarded with a win over a Frontier Conference opponent just a short 17-hour bus ride away," said head football coach Tim Camp."Our focus as a team was to win the game. We need to clean up our tackling and team penalties. I am very proud of the team and coaches for the work they put into this victory." Junior quarterback Zach Bartlow completed 27 passes for 325 yards, while senior running back Jace Billingsley registered 135 yards on 15 carries. Meanwhile, sophomore wide receiver Calvin Connors logged a career-high 142 yards on five punt returns, including an 89-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the third quarter. Defensively, EOU was paced by senior linebacker Gary Posten's nine tackles, one sack, and two tackles for loss.

Stanford stops Huskies STANFORD, Calif. iAPl — Christian McCaffrey limped down the stairs following his postgame interviews with ice bags around both knees and his left hand. That was about the only time he was slowed down all night. McCaffrey caught a touchdown pass, ran for another score and gained 300 all-purpose yards in another sterling all-around performancetolead No. 10 Stanford to its sixth straightvictory,31-14 over Washington on Saturday night.

Timberwolves' Saunders dies of cancer MINNEAPOLIS iAPl — Flip Saunders, the longtime NBA coach who won more than 650 games in nearly two decades and was trying to rebuild the Minnesota Timberwolves as team president, coach and part owner, died Sunday, the team said. He was 60. Saunders was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June and doctors called it"treatable and curable," when the Timberwolves made the diagnosis public in August. But he took a leave of absence from the team in September after complications arose during his treatment, which included chemotherapy. Thisweek, owner Glen Taylor announced Saunders would not be back this season and asked team employees to give Saunders time to heal. The Timberwolves open the season Wednesday. Sam Mitchell has been named interim head coach of the Timberwolves and GM Milt Newton is heading the team's personnel department. Saunders went 654-592 in 17 NBA seasons with the Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards.
