BRIEFING

Traffic delays in Hells Canyon OXBOW —Travelers in Hells Canyon should use extra caution in the coming weeks as several projects could result in road restrictions or traffic delays. Starting today, road crews will begin clearing rocks, trash, vegetation and other debris along the road between Brownlee Reservoir and Hells Canyon Dam. Crews will be working from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. PDT, Monday through Friday, through Nov. 30. Traffic will be restricted to one lane in areas where work is taking place. Flaggers will direct traffic. Long delays are not expected, but drivers should give themselves extra time to reach their destination. In addition, there will be additional truck traffic on the road during this period. Also starting today, the HomesteadTunnel will be closed weekdays through Oct. 16. The tunnel, on Homestead Road north of Oxbow, will be closed from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. PDT, with a 30-minute opening at 11 a.m. to allow traffic to pass. A detour road will be available for passenger cars and light trucks. Finally, a large transformer is scheduled to be hauled by truck from Baker Cityto Hells Canyon Dam Tuesday and Wednesday. This move could cause brief delays on the road to Hells Canyon Dam on Tuesday.

Rehearsals for Eastern Oregon Regional Theatre Eastern Oregon RegionalTheatre will hold auditions for "A Christmas Carol" Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Iron Gate Theater, upstairs in Basche-Sage Place, 2101 Main St. The director is Scot Violette. The play performances will be Nov. 20,21 and 22and Nov. 27, 28 and 29.There are many small parts available for children, men and women. Those unable to make auditions can call Violette at 541-403-4616.

Baker City's droughtdepleted water supply is keepingup with demand. The 11 streams and springs in the city's watershed in the Elkhorn Mountains west of town are producing about 2 million

gallons per day iMGDl, Pub-

lic Works Director Michelle Owen said. That's less than half the volume typical for October. The good news, Owen said, isthatresidents continue to heed the voluntary water curtailment request the city made three months

ago. Water demand has been

averaging about 2.6 million gallons per day recently, Owen said. Given those levels, and the possibility that demand will drop more as the weather cools, Owen said she doubts the city will need to impose mandatory restrictions on water use this year.

residents grieve

"Realistically I do not see moving towards mandatory restric tions because the temperatureissupposed to go down," Owen said."I don't want to let my guard down just yet as we have seen 80 plus degree days in October over the years." See Water/Fbge 2A

Nov. 9 • Company has lined up potential buyers for 36 stores in California, Nevada By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

The Haggen grocery chain has asked a bankruptcy courtto approve the company's plan to try to sell some of its stores, including the one in Baker City, by auction on Nov. 9. Bids would be due on Nov. 2, and a court hearing to consider the auction results would take place Nov. 24, according to the schedule Haggen has proposed. The company has asked the bankruptcy court for a hearing on Oct. 19 to consider that schedule. Haggen, which earlier this year bought 146 grocery stores, including the former Albertsons store in Baker City, announced last month thatitplansto close 100 of those stores. The Baker City store is slatedtocloseN ov.25. See HaggenIPage2A

The sunny, mild days of early autumn are ideal for visiting the Sumpter dredge at the southern end of Sumpter, about 28 miles southwest of Baker City via Highway 7The dredge itself, the centerpiece of a SumpterValley Dredge State Heritage Area, is open to visitors daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct. 31. The park's 1.5-mile trail network is open year-round, although drivers have to park elsewhere after Oct. 31.

Willows and other trees are adding splashes of autumn color to the piles of rocks and the ponds at the 93-acre Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area.

Continued ~om Page1A High temperatures are forecastto range from the mid-70s to about 80 this week, with no rain. City officials asked residentsto reduce water use after flows in the watershed dropped significantly in late June. Before the city asked residents to reduce their water use, it had asked large users

to cut back. Those were the school district, Quail Ridge Golf Course and the city's parks department. The city is supplementing the watershed with water from Goodrich Reservoir, the natural lake at the base of Elkhorn Peak that was dammed toincrease itscapacity, and the city's aquifer storage and recovery well. Goodrich is holding about 100 million gallons — slightly less than half its capacity

HAGGEN Continued ~om Page1A The Baker City store employs about 50 people. Haggen took over the store from Albertsons in mid-May. Grocery analysis Burt P. Flickinger last month described Haggen's bankruptcy as "the fastest ifailurel in modern supermarket history. In all of retail, I haven't seen anything like this." In a press release this morning, Haggen said the auction process it has proposed"has been designed tobe fair and transparentin order to derive the highest bid for the stores and to maxim ize value for the estate and creditors

— and is contributing about two-thirds of a million gallons per day. Owen said the city is using the well as needed. It can supply up to 1 million gallons

per day. Each winter and spring the city diverts water from the watershed into the well, where it can be withdrawn during the summer. In past summers city residents have gone through as much as 7 million gallons

in an orderly process. The procedures will allow the sale auctionisl to be conductedin a controlled,fair and open fashion that will encourage participation of financially capable buyers." In addition to requesting court hearings for the proposed auction schedule, Haggen has filed motions with the bankruptcy court in Delaware to approvethe salesofeightstoresin California to Gelson's Markets, and 28 stores in California and Nevada to Smart & Final LLC. Haggen has hired Sagent Advisors LLC to coordinate the sales of the other stores, including the one in Baker City.

or more on hot days. The most water used in a single day this summer was 6.1 million gallons on June 30 — three days before the city asked residents to cut back. Besides the voluntary curtailment, Owen cited another reason for lower water use. "I think people were aware of their water use this summer and the fires certainly kept water and drought at the forefront of everyone's mind," she said.

The schedule Haggen has proposed to the bankruptcy court would require companies interested in buying Haggen storesto express theirinterestby Oct. 26. Besidesitseffortsto sellstores,H aggen is embroiled in two lawsuits with Albertsons. In July, Albertsons sued Haggen for more than $41 million it claimed Haggen owed for inventory that changed hands during store conversions. In August, Haggen sued Albertsons' parent company for $1 billion, alleging the chain undercut its effort to transition Albertsons and Vons stores in the region.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 5, 1965 A 530-acre blaze in theWallowa-Whitman Forest of northeast Oregon was contained by crews Monday night, and U.S. Forest Service officials said the blaze was expected to be controlled today. The fire broke out Monday in scattered timber 15 miles southwest of Unity in theWest Camp Creek-Bull Run area. Forest Service officials said it was human-caused. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 5, 1990 The Baker High School library looked and sounded more like a sound stage at Paramount Pictures in HollywoodThursday morning. People scurried about setting up cameras, lights and other equipment. Those people — five in all — are members of a California crew filming a documentary at BHS about the fire that destroyed most of the school in February 1989. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 5, 2005 Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality has fined Ash Grove Cement's Durkee plant $179,300 for emitting more carbon monoxide than the state allows. The company also failed to report some of the carbon monoxide violations, according to DEQ. Ash Grove, which with its 114 workers ranks among Baker County's 10 largest employers, has not exceeded its carbon monoxide limit in more than a year, however, and a DEQ official lauded the plant for fixing the problem. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 6, 2014 The sky was bright blue Saturday morning at the Baker Sports Complex. Except for the clouds of red, yellow, orange, green, purple and, yes, blue. The second-annual Color Dash raised an estimated $600 to help a local family, said Suzy Cole, who teaches the Baker High School Leadership Class, the event's sponson About100 people ran a 1.5-mile course, during which students festooned runners' white shirts with bright-colored clouds of chalk.

Elks collecting animal hides to help vets The Baker Elks Lodge is collecting deer and elk hides to benefit military veterans. Hide barrels are located in the following places: alley behind the Elks Lodge, 1896 Second St.; Keating Junction; Halfway; Richland; North Powder, Salisbury Junction both sides of Sumpter Junction; Whitney; Unity; Austin Junction; Burnt River junction south side of Dooley Mountain; Little Suzie's and Baker County Custom Meats. Hides should be free oflegs and head. Hunters can help ensure the highest price for hides by taking the following precautions: •Avoid dragging the carcassforlong distances • Avoid cutting holes in the hide • Get the hide to a barrel while it is fresh. If possible, put a couple pounds of table salt on the hide and roll it beforeputting in the barrel. • Don't put the hide in a plastic bag. If you're not a hunter you can still donate to the veterans program by sending checks to Baker Elks Lodge No. 338, P.O. Box 347, Baker City, OR 97814.

President Obama, in talking about the man who shot and killed nine people Thursday morning at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, said the U.S. has "become numb" to mass shootings.

We disagree. And we're pretty sure Roseburg residents do too. Nor do we concur with Mr. Obama's description of the nation's response to Thursday's tragedy as "routine." He's right, of course, that the situation is familiar, in the sense that it's the latest in a series of such events. But"routine" also implies that we are not as horrified, not as disgusted, by these awful episodes as we used to be. We have seen no evidence of that. Indeed what we saw, including from the president himself, was the righteous anger that any civilized society feels when such a catastrophe happens. We agree with Mr. Obama that"our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel. And it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America." The ultimate question, of course, is what would prevent such atrocities? We don't have an answer. And although we don't begrudge the president claiming that he does have an answer, we think he's promising more than he, and more to the point any law, can deliver. ''We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings," the president said Thursday.'Friends of ours, allies of ours — Great Britain, Australia, countries like ours. So we know there are ways to prevent it." Would that it were so. In the aftermath of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012, we posited that none of the gun control laws in effect then, and none of the proposed laws that well-meaning politicians, including Mr. Obama, endorsed, would in any meaningful way reduce the chances that mentally unbalanced people could procure a gun and ammunition. As much as we wish otherwise, we believe this is still true. To be clear, we're not dismissing as impossible a legislative remedy, even a partial one, to this problem plaguing our nation. Perhaps Congress can write, to borrow Mr. Obama's phrase,"common-sense gun laws"which are constitutional and which would truly help, even in a small way, to sever that link between mentally ill people and guns. (Preventing such people from getting other deadly weapons, of which there is of course a multitude, is another, equally vexing, dilemma.) But we'd like to hear the president, when he speaks so passionately about this topic, talk about the killers, and not just about the weapons the killers wielded. The ultimate source of every one of these events, after all, is a person with a diseased mind. These people pose adanger even ifthey never fire a gun. As politically divisive as this issue is, there exist points of essentially universal agreement, among them that we need to identify people who should not have access to guns and, to the extent possible, ensure that they don't have that access. That is an immensely diKcult task. And although we respect the president's belief about the powers oflegislation, and we echo his anger at the depressing litany of disasters to which Umpqua Community College has been added, we don't share his confidence that a solution awaits only his signature on a sheet of paper.

ROSEBURG —The gunman had already shot severalstudents atclose range when he stood inches from Lacey Scroggins and demanded she stand up. It was only the fourth day of community college for the 18-year-old aspiring surgeon. She was face down, her head tucked between her outstretched arms, among dead and dying classmates. Scroggins could hear someone gurgling. She felt the weight of mortally wounded Treven Anspach against her, the 20-yearold's blood flowing onto her clothing.

Vincent Attanasio holds up a sign while performing with the Roseburg High School band Saturday in Roseburg. The band was collecting donations for families of the victims of the Umpqua Community College shooting. They locked the building, gathered about 40 students from the surrounding classrooms and huddled with them in a small hallway with no outside-facing windows. Back in Snyder Hall, Lacey Scroggins didn't see her teacher fall, but Anastasia Boylan did. The first-year student told her family from the hospital that Levine was shot at point-blank range. "She was crying and saying,'Grandma, he killed my teacher! He killed my teacher! I saw it!" Janet Willis said, in recounting her granddaughter's story. In the chaos that followed, Boylan found herself on the classroom floor, bleeding nexttoa friend who had also been shot.

In a rampage lasting about 10 minutes, Christopher Harper-Mercer took nine lives Thursday morning in chilling fashion before killing himself as officers closed in, placing the small town of Roseburg among settings that have become infamous for inexplicable violence. In addition to slain English professor Lawrence Levine, the dead and nine wounded were students young and old — some high schoolaged,othersjust beginning college and some startingoveraftera broken marriage, drug abuse or in hopes of a new career. The rural Umpqua Community College on nearly 100 acres of pastureland alongthe North Umpqua River has about 3,200 students in this southwestern Oregoncommunity, where the struggling timber industry is no longer seen as a path to the future. Its website said it offered"a peaceful, safe atmosphere." The school term had just begun and Levine's 10 a.m. introductory composition class was underway when Mercer-Harper arrived on campus not with books, but with a small arsenal of weapons that included five handguns, a semi-automatic rifle, five magazines of ammunition and a flak jacket.

Like Scroggins, she playeddead and Mercer left her there. He showed little mercy to others. At one point, Chris Mintz, an Army veteran and student who helped evacuate his classroom nearby, sounded a fire alarm in another building and ran back to help. He was shot as he came through the classroom door. Mintz asked the gunman to stop, saying it was his son's birthday. The gunman openedfire again,shooting Mintz but somehow missing vital organs. Mintz lived. The gunman told a woman to beg for her life, Randy Scroggins said. She did and he shot her anyway. One woman tried to show sympathy for the shooter, saying she was sorry for whateverhappened to him.

Rosedurg nastor: lliolencewillnot have lastworll' • Pastor Randy Scroggins' daughter, Lacey, was among the survivors of Thnrsday's mass shooting in an Umpqua Community College classroom By GosiaWozniacka and Tami Abdollah Associated Press

ROSEBURG — A pastor whose daughter survived last week's deadly rampage in a college classroom told his congregation on Sunday that "violence will not have the last word" in this southern Oregon timber town. More than 100 people gathered to hear pastor Randy Scroggins speak at New Beginnings Church of God, including his daughter 18-year-old Lacey, who sat in the front row and wiped away tears. Scroggins said he's been asked whether he can forgive Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer, who killed nine when he opened fire Thursday at Umpqua Community College. "Can I be honest? I don't know. That's the worst part of my job. I don't know" said Scroggins, his voice cracking with emotion. "I don't focus on the man. I focus on the evil that was in the man." H arper-Mercer killed himself after police arrived on the scene. Scrogginstold those gathered at his church that his daughter survived because she was lying on the floorand partially covered by the body of a fellow student. The gunman thought his daughter was dead. Scroggins said the community has "come together with strength and courage and compassion. As if to say, 'we will not be defined by violence' ...Violence will not have the last word in Roseburg." Religious faith is an importantpart ofmany people's lives in this rural part of Oregon, called by some "the Bible Belt of Oregon." In Roseburg alone, there are dozens of churches, and Christian billboards and crosses dot area highways and roads. Pastors have been at the forefrontofhelping victims' families cope with a grief that can seem unbearable. When pastor Jon Nutter got atext message last Thursday about the shooting and realized how many had been killed or injured, he immediately formed a prayer circle at Starbucks where he was sitting. He then rushed to open his church in Roseburg to anyone in need of counseling, and drove to the Douglas County Fairgrounds, where officials were reuniting students with family members. As busafterbus rolled into the fairgrounds on Thursday carrying students, faculty and staff, Nutter and about two

dozenotherlocalpastors held uncontrollably crying students, formed prayer circles, listened to eyewitnesses recount the rampage that killed nine and watched tearful reunions with parents and spouses. The pastors also comforted parents and spouses who waited for the last bus of students. Five hours after the shooting rampage, a dozen remaining family members were ushered into a room atthe fairgrounds, said Nutter, who was also in the room. Officials notified them there would be no more buses coming. "They had been waiting for a long time, hoping, praying," said Nutter, pastor of Hucrest Community Church of God. "People were crying, yelling, some families were angry, others going into denial and shock." At Sunday services, many pastors planned to talk about the shootings. "It's important for us to just listen," said Grant Goins,an associate pastor at Roseburg Alliance Church. "We don't know how to grieve; we want to pretend death is not coming. We tell people it's OK to cry, to give others a hug, to sing Amazing Grace." Over the past four days, Nutter and the other pastors have organized a web ofsupport for victims' families and the wider community. Immediately after the shooting, the multi-denominational Douglas County Evangelical Fellowship, a group of about 40 Roseburg-area churches, sprang into action. An ecumenical prayer service took place at a local Catholic church hours after the shooting. Other churches led prayers throughout the weekend. Pastorsoffered griefcounselling at their sanctuaries, the fairgrounds and at aRoseburg nonprofit. They are also preparing for funerals.

trail ead Early on this past summer, soon after school was out, I met some friends at the Owsley Canyon trailhead at the Mount Emily Recreation Area (MERA). What I thought would be a handful of moms and kids eager to enjoy the good weather turned into the parking lot being filled. Van after van pulled in, then a few Suburbans, followed by more vans. I had never seen the parking lot so full, especially on a weekday morning. In all there were at least 12 vehicles and I lost count of the kids. A handful of the moms hadn't been up to this MERA location. This was the perfect opportunity tobecome familiar with the family fiiendly area. Meeting up with friends for an outdoor jaunt makes getting to the adventure destination so much easier. The motivation of someone else relying on you might be exactly what you need to load up the kids and head for the hills. More importantly, taking your kids outdoors, especially on a trail or near water can be daunting. What if something happens and you need help? It's just smarter and easier to rally at a trailhead with some support. Chasing after and keeping track of kids becomes a groupeffort.Asdoesmotivatingthe kids to keep going. SeeTrailhead IPage 3B

Ac 'lly c apterin our 'story It has been a busy time around my house, Diary, so I have neglected to mention a few things. One of them was reminded to me by the Outskirts Bob Bull photo of the North Powder ice plant in The Observer on Sept. 28. You see, last July Marlene James gave me a nice little booklet about this very ice plant that had been published by the Eastern Oregon Museum at Haines, and the Pacific Fruit Express Company of Roseville, California, tbinldng I might want to write something about it in my column. Well, I did, but I just didn't get the job done. Now Bob's photo brings it all back again, so 111 take advantage of it and tell you a little more of the story. As the picture related, the plant was builtin1910 forthestorageofblocksof ice cut from a pond and used to refiigerate railroad cars for shipping to"far away" places. It also said that the building was destroyed by lightning in July 1937 but most of theicewassalvaged. This is a part of Northeastern Oregon history that hasn't been talked about much, and it seems well worthy of our knowing more of the details. The little booklet fiom the museum tells the story about the ice plant from one end and, turned over and read backwards, is the history of the museum. The museum itself is four blocks ofF the Old Oregon Trail Highway, US. 30, 10 miles north of Baker City and nine miles south of North Powder. See Dory/Page 3B

Each dish had its own interesting flavors, odorsand traditionsthatmade every meal a new experience. For the first few days of our trip we were in Lisbon and were responsible for our lunch and dinner. Breakfast was provided by the hotel and was a beautiful sumptuous buffet. Included were a number of m eats, cheeses,frruts,a variety ofegg options, and more than a dozen types ofbreads and pastries.

GRA N N Y'S garden people ; ~~ GA R DEN half her age, and me for sure. She CRISTINE MARTIN grows hundreds ofbeautiful flowers and is seen bringing them into church most Sundays all season long. She lives on a farm in the Cove area and has a garden bigger than most people's whole property. I had to smile at her last fall when she said she thought she would cut back for "next year." From the flowers I have seen, she hasn't cut back very much. Every flower she gives has a bit oflove with it, so is extra special, besides being beautiful. Norma Jean grows lotsand lotsofvegetablesand berriestoo.Itm akes me tired just to see all that she does and she just keeps on going. I hope she is able to for many years to come. It is a joy to see the results ofher hard work. Remember, "age is just a number." '

The word of the day is"lacto-fermentation."True, it's similar to zombification, only instead of transforming something dead into something unspeakable, lactofermentation transforms something kesh into something wonderful. Thousands of years before humans even knew what bacteria were, we were using lactofermentation to preserve food. Today we do it as much for the flavor as we do for the preservation. Here's how it works: We'll start by talking about those microbes. Specifically, bacteria. There are two basictypesofbacteria:aerobic,which require oxygen; and anaerobic, which can survive without it. Sauerkraut is made by tossing thinly sliced cabbage with salt and pressing it into a container. The salt draws water kom the cabbage, creating a brine under which the cabbage is completely submerged. When this happens, the anaerobic bacteria begin to multiply and feedoffthe sugarsin thecabbage, producinglacticand acetic acidsand carbon dioxide. The acids and the increasing numbersoflacti cacid-producing bacteria flncluding the always popular Lactobacillil prevent any other bacteria kom getting their foot in the sauerkrauty door. Those lactobacilli are an example of the beneficial probiotics mentioned earlier. One last thing before we jump kom theoryto practice:thevesseloffermentation. You don't need any special equipment, only a large container like an earthenwarecrock,a plasticfood containeror alargemason jar.Figure that a 1-gallon container will hold about 5 poundsofcabbage.Whatever container you use, don't seal it: The gases formed by the fermentation have to escape. 1. Start with the keshest cabbage you can fi nd.Straight kom your garden orlocal farmers market would be perfect. Peel away any loose or damaged leaves and

Cut the core away kom all four piecesand discard.Slice thecabbage as finely as you can. 3.Tossthe cabbageswith sea saltor pickling salt, roughly 3 tablespoons for every5 pounds ofcabbage.Sea saltalso has trace elements of minerals that can enhance the nutritional value of the finished product. Avoid iodized salt or salt with anti-caking elements, which can interfere with the fermentation. While you're tossing, squeeze the cabbage to crush it as much as you can. You could also smash it with a rubber mallet if your loveoffood getsalltied up with your need to releaseyourinneraggressions. The idea is to extract as much water as you can kom the cabbage, so that it combineswith the saltto create abrine. 4. Pack the cabbage into your container as tightly as possible, then weigh it down. How you do this depends on your container. If it's an earthenware crock, set a clean plate onto the cabbage and weigh it down with jars of water. If it's a large mason jar, use a slightly smaller mason jar filled with water. It's vitally

Note: For the first 24 hours, there may notbe enoughbrine to coverthe cabbage completely. That's OK. Every few hours, press down on the cabbage to release more water. After 24 hours, if there's still not enough brine to cover the cabbage, add salt water to cover (1 teaspoon salt for every cup of water). 5. Check the ferment every day to make sure the brine is covering the cabbage completely.

named the following year as Haines for I. D. Haines, who practiced law in Baker City in 1867 and upon whose land the town of Haines was founded. More of the history of Haines is given in this little booklet. It was in the early 1900s, accordingtoits history,that a man by the name of Isaac Sandersstarted selling ice to the Union Pacific Railroad in the nearby town of North Powder. He had land to the southwest. A branch of the Union Pacific Railroad purchased the Andy Lund place and built an 18-acre pond that turned to ice in the winter. Cut into blocks it could be used in the western division of the railroad. Interestingly, they could grow a summer cutting of timothy hay in the pond areaand then fl ood the pond with water and harvestthe icefor the railroad in the winter. It is amazing to think that the crew of 100 men provided one of the largest payrolls in thispart ofthe state and most seasons provided over 30,000tonsofice.Ofthis amount, about 12,000 tons was stored in theice storage facilit y and therestshipped

As a flower vase, or to organize any number of upright items such as pens and pencils, toothbrushesortoiletries, Mason jars not only get the job done — they do it in style. There are many ways to use paint to make jars pop as home decor, but here are a few of my favorites: Metallic spray paint in silver or bronze looks amazing, but try"Mirror Ball" paint for a finish so shiny you can almost see your reflection. Matte black spray paint is great for displaying colorful items or for matching other black decor. Delicately sand otf the paint &om the raised "Mason,""Ball" or "Kerr" brand names so the glass shines through iafler the paint has dried) and you get an especially modern,

Using a simple metal chicken feeder — a round metal plate with several compartments, available at most farm and feedstores— simply fill a quart-sized jar with seeds, screw on the chicken feeder and invert.

out elsewhere. For the first six years of operation, the ice was cut by a horse-drawn saw, the booklet tells us, with several teams working at one time. By 1916-17 the ice was cut by a patented ice saw powered by an electric motor, taking only three men to operate and was much faster. Pictures show how the ice was cut and loaded for shipment or moved for storage. All of this history is recordedpriorto the use of refrigeratedrailroad cars for shipment of such things as carcasses instead oflive cattle to market along with other produce. The development of this industry is extremely interesting but should be sought out in this area,for Iam unable spacewise to tell the whole story. I must mention, though, aboutthe totaldestruction of the ice plant in 1937 by a bolt of lightning, "one the fiercestelectricalstorms ever witnessed here" and reported in the RecordCourier that July, telling the story about the loss. There were 9,211 tons of ice in the facility at the time of the fire, the booklet tells us, out of which they hoped to save

5,000 tons for the current season. The ice storage house was 140 by110 feetby 40 feet high and was sheathed with insulating material between the layersofstacked ice at the time of the fire. The lightning strike and resulting fire on the roof was seen by the plant superintendent Herman F. White, who calledthe Powder department and Baker for firefighters. The Baker department had a truck there in 23 minutes, itrecorded, to fightthe fire spreading over the roof, insulated walls and into oil treated blankets in each ice bin. The resilience of these earlypeoplestotragedy and recovery is one at which to m arvel and to appreciate the roots from which this part of the country grew into what it has become.

along with the celery salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika and chile powder, working with your hands to knead the mixture until evenly combined. Form the mixture into 12 patties. The patties will taste best made the morning of,butcan be m ade up to a day in advance; separate each patty with a piece of wax or parchment paper and cover and refrigerate until ready to cook. 6. Heat a grill over medium-high heat until hot. Place the patties on a lightly greased grill rack and cook until charred on the outside and medium (about 135 degrees) in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. If adding cheese, place the cheese on the burger about a minute before removing it from the grill to give the cheese a chance to soften. If toasting the buns, place them cut-side down on the rack to warm and toast slightly for a minute or two. 7. Place each grilled burger on a bun and serve immediately. Let guests garnish as desired.

TRAILHEAD Continued ~om Page 1B The great thing about getting together with others is kids love to explore with their friends. What I've noticedabout kids and open outdoor spaces isthere's little bickering. Rather than arguing over toys or taking turns they are more focused on the adventure at hand. Exploring and showing each other what they've found. I was very fortunate to meet many great &iends soon after moving to La Grande. Some are born and raised locals. Others, like me haven't lived here very long. Combined they have years of knowledge and experience with the area that they gladly share. Our thoughts are "the more the merrier." Together we make up a group of adventurous souls who are genuinely interested in raisingkids thathave a solid perspective oftheworld. Having fun and enjoying nature is just a bonus. While we don't talk about it much we hope that down the road our kids will continue to go on adventures with each other. That "hanging out" together won't always be sitting around depending on media for entertainment. Maybe, just maybe, we won't be raising typical kids. Meg Hawks is a La Grande mom of ttoo boys.

The short-handed Baker Bulldogs made the right moves at the right times Friday, gaining a 14-8 win over Nyssa in a nonleague football game at Nyssa. Already missing Porter Cline and Will Goodwin due to broken bones, the Bulldogs also were missing Sam Hamilton (leg injury against

Vale) and Cody Denton iflulike symptoms). "It was a W and we'll take it," said Baker coach Dave Johnson. aWe were down some kids and had to have some kids play more snaps than they usually do. But the kids did agreatjob ofbowing their necks, as we say, and got the win." Things didn't start well for the Bulldogs when Nyssa's Justin Simpson took the opening kickofF back 88 yards for an 8-0 Nyssa lead. "Our kickofF team has been playing so well," Johnson said.aWe just got bunched together on one side and he got through a crack." Baker special teams played a role in getting on the scoreboard laterin the first quarter. On fourth down, Nyssa's defensepeeled ofFto setup for a return. Instead, Baker punter Luke Ham raced 16 yards for a first down at the Nyssa 29. Six plays later Baker quarterback Brad Zemmer followed guard Nate Wright into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown. Trevor Jones' conversion kick pulled Baker to within 8-7 with 2:25leftin theperiod. That's where the score

ARLINGTON, Texas — Cole Hamels and the Texas Rangers finally clinched the AL West title on the last day of the regular season. Hamels pitched a three-hitter, Adrian Beltre hit a go-ahead homer and the Rangers beat the Angels 9-2 Sunday, eliminating Los Angeles from playoff contention. A year after their 95 losses were the most in the American League, two months after they were still eight games out of first place and three days after ensuring themselves a postseason spot, the Rangers wrapped up their sixth division title. Texas plays its first AL division series game since 2011 on Thursday at Toronto or Kansas City. Moments after the final out, AL West championship banners already were flying at the ballpark. The Rangers will go there under firstyear manager Jeff Banister, whose team lost ace Yu Darvish to Tommy John surgery before the season started.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. iAPl — Mike

McCarthy's Green Bay Packers circled this game among the tough challenges of the first quarter of the season, facing the familiar San Francisco 49ers in the unfamiliar confines of new Levi's Stadium for the first time. Not to mention during a short week with a long trip out West to face a team that had Green Bay's number going into the fifth meeting in four seasons.

Aaron Rodgers and Co. were unfazed by it all, even if it took a little while to find a rhythm in a 17-3 victory against struggling Colin Kaepernick and the hapless Niners on Sunday to keep Green Bay unbeaten. Led by a relentless, swarming defense that put Kaepernick on his back six times, the Packers started 4-0 for the first time since starting 13-0 in 2011. Rodgers passed for 224 yards and a touchdown and ran 17 yards to set up a

key second-half score. ''We're 4-0, we're first in the division and we're playing the kind ofball we want to play in most of the phases," Rodgers said matter-of-factly when asked to assess his team."It was a grind out there." Richard Rodgers caught a 9-yard touchdown pass on the game's opening drive before Aaron Rodgers got his team going in the second half after a slow start to snap a four-game losing streak to San Francisco.

Pine-Eagledrops OOL game

BOISE STATE FOOTBALL

Broncosroll,55-0 By Jason Chatraw Associated Press

BOISE — Brett Rypien threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Broncos to a 55-0 victory over Hawaii in the Mountain West Conference opener for both teams Saturday night. In his second career start, Rypien completed 19 of 25 passes without an interception, showing his impressive debut last week against Virginia wasn't a fluke. "Brett's limited in his experience, but he's playing within the game plan we give him each week," Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said."Each game plan has a theme for the opponent we're playing, and he's going out and executing."

High school football games canceled

with a pair of touchdowns. eWe took advantage ofthe turnovers and put points on the board early," Harsin said."Those explosive plays and getting into arhythm and having some tempo shows we can be effectiveattim es."

Hawaii i2-3l, which

struggled to amass 170 yardsoftotaloffense,has yet to scorein threetripsto the mainland this season, also getting shutout by No. 1 Ohio State and No. 19 Wisconsin in September. Max Wittek threw for 66 yards, completing 7 of 24 passes for the Rainbow Warriors before injuring his left leg in the third quarter and giving way to backup Ikaika Woolsey. eWe knew this was going to be a tough game," Hawaii Boise State i4-1l rolled up coach Norm Chow said. 554 yardsoftotaloffense. "But we need to play better. Jeremy McNichols rushed We have to go home and for 108 yards on 20 carries regroup."

NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Seattle SeahawkshostQetroitlions By Tim Booth SEATTLE — Somewhere along the way, Richard Sherman has become a bit more subdued. The previous time the Seattle Seahawks were set to face the Detroit Lions three years ago, Sherman was more than happy to offer up his interest in playing the role of"Optimus Prime" to Calvin Johnson's moniker of "Megatron." Now, as the Seahawks get set to host the Lions on Monday night, Sherman wasn't so willing to play along. "I just haven't had much of an opportunity to do anything. I guess if the world's been more quiet, then I've been more quiet," Sherman said."The opportunities just haven't presented themselves. Those were perfect opportunities, and then you can't do the same trick twice." Jokes about Transformers aside, any individual matchup between Johnson and Sherman is secondary to where the Lions and Seahawks stand. Detroit i0-3l is trying to avoid its first 0-4 start since 2010, a deficit that would seem too difficult to overcome in the same division with Green Bay. And while Seattle i12l started the process of overcomingits 0-2 startlast week by knocking off Chica-

hopesthatdefensive leader DeAndre Levy would return from his hip injury were muted when despite a week oflimited practice he was listed as doubtful on the final injury report. "I think our team is right there," Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said.'You just can't see it, but we can." Here's what else to watch as the Seahawks and Lions meet:

Seattle hosts Detroit tonight at

AP Sports Writer

5:30 p.m. on ESPN in the weekly Monday night NFL telecast. go, the Seahawks can't afford to lose more ground behind division-leading Arizona. "This is one of those games that could be a turning point in our season," Detroit linebacker James Ihedigbo said. 'You get a win like this in a place like that it could really boost our team in the right direction as we continue to go after this thing." Seattle may be without starting running back Marshawn Lynch, a game-time decision with a hamstring strain suffered last week against Chicago. Even ifhe does play, Lynch has yet to get going behind Seattle' sretooled offensive line. Lynch has just 128 yards rushing on 38 carries through three games. Rookie Thomas Rawls flashed last week against the Bears in Lynch's absence with 104 yards. The Seahawks may also be without defensive tackle Brandon Mebane because of a groin injury. The Lions have their own injury concerns. Running back Joique Bell is out and

SLOW STARTS: The Seahawks would like to stop a trend ofslow offensive performances in the first half. Seattle is averaging six points and 120.3 yards and has yet to score an offensive touchdown in the first half. Contrast that with the second half, where the Seahawks are averaging 18.3 points and 225.7 yards. "I think we can come out smoother and function a little bit better," Seattle coachPete Carrollsaid. 'You've seen us adapt and play much better in the secondhalves ofgames. I think we've kind of always done that, but we don't need to only do that." KEEPING THE FAITH: Caldwell insisted his winlessteam isclose to breaking through to win games. "It'shard to seefrom the outside," he said. Caldwell's quote provided a flashback to something former Detroit coach Rod Marinelli said in 2008 when his team was

0-13 en route to becoming the league'sfi rstto go 0-16. "I believe in the invisible," Marinelli said back then.

PICKING PASSES: Seattleisone ofthreeteams yet to have an interception. It's similar to last season when the Seahawks had just two interceptions through the first six games before finishing the season with 13.

The Seahawks believe thegl have chance this week with how often the Lions throw.

GOLDEN RETURN: Golden Tate will return to Seattle where he was the Seahawks leading receiver during their Super Bowl championship season before leaving for Detroit. While most of the focus in Seattle is on Tate's return, in Detroit the attention was on Tate's radio comments this week of opponents knowing some of the plays the Lions are running "Maybe they're hacking into our computers," quarterback Matthew Stafford

joked. LONG ODDS: The Lions don't have history on their side as an 0-3 team with hopes to make the playoffs, though they don't buy in the public's gloomy outlook for them. "It's not dire," safety Glover Quin said."There is a lot of football left. We just have to find a way togeta win.... It has been done beforesoitgivesyou hope that it can be done."

WILSONVILLE — All high school football games canceled because of the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg Thursday will no longer be consideredforfeits,the Oregon SchoolActivitiesAssociation determined Friday evening after further deliberation on the issue. "In light of the tragedy, the best decision is to mark them as canceled," OSAA Assistant Executive Director Peter Weber said. The games will not be rescheduled. Thursday, Sheldon and Roseburg school officials announced that their Class 6A Southwest Conference matchup would be canceled with no plans to make it up after the mass shooting that claimed 10 lives. Sheldon athletic director Matt Binkerd said he didn't know how it would be resolved for the SWC standings, and Irish football coach Lane Johnson added"football is pretty inconsequential at this point." Friday afternoon, the OSAA announced the result of that game, as well as Marshfield's game against Douglas, Sisters-Sutherlin and Harrisburg-Glide were all changed to forfeits, with Roseburg, Douglas, Sutherlin and Glide all taking losses because they were the home teams for a forfei ted game. That is no longer the case, said Weber, who called the situation"a little bit of uncharted territory" for the OSAA. Weber said the reason the games were initially deemed forfeits is because they were league games that need a win and a loss given out to keep the standings in sync. Typically a nonleague game would just stay canceled, but for playofFpurposes, an outcome is needed. Weber added that football is unique because teams can only play once in a week, and with the state playoffs starting the week after the end of the regular season, there is not aweek before the startofthepostseason forteams to make the game up.

Eastern spikers defeat OIT in four LA GRANDE — Rachelle Chamberlain kept Eastern Oregon's offense humming with 37 assists as the Mountaineers won their ninth straight match by scores of 25-20, 25-20, 18-25, 25-9 against OIT on Friday in Cascade Collegiate Conference volleyeball action.

Harris leads Western Oregon to win ST. GEORGE, Utah — Senior running back Joe Harris led Western Oregon with a career-best three rushing touchdowns, all coming after interceptions by the Wolves defense, in a 42-24 win over Dixie State on Friday in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play. The Wolves evened its league record to 1-1 and improvedto2-3 overallon the season. Harris shined for WOU, rallying for 90 rushing yards on 18 carries, including scoring runs from four, one and 13 yards. Sophomore receiver Paul Revis hurt the Red Storm i14, 0-2 GNACl through the air and in the return game. Revis had four receptions for 102 yards and one touchdown from starting quarterback David Sowards. He returned two punts into the end zone, one being called back after a penalty. An 81-yard return in the 4th quarter capped 42 unanswered points for Western Oregon after falling behind 10-0 after the first quarter. Western Oregon's defense was the other half of the story, shutting down key Dixie State drives at the most opportune moment. The Red Storm did amass 500 yards of total offense after holding the ball for over 36 minutes, but WOU had big plays on the defensive side.

Freese sees first college volleyball action WALLA WALLA — Former Baker volleyball standout Michelle Freese saw her first collegiate action Friday for Spokane Community College.
