Oregon, 6A PORTLAND — A generation of Oregonians has neverlived under a Republican governor, and state Rep. Dennis Richardson would like to show them what it's like. If Richardson is to topple Oregon's longest serving governor, though, he'll have to introduce himself to an electorate that doesn't know him and overcome his party's dismal reputation in Oregon. But his biggest hurdle is more fundamentalhis conservative views on abortion and gay marriage, and the fiery language he's used to express them.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Oct. 6, 1964 George Chandler, Baker, has received sixth award of $25 in the annual program sponsored by the James F. Lincoln ArcWelding Foundation of Cleveland, Ohio, to recognize outstanding achievement in the nation's school shops. His award-winning project was a hydraulic crane built under the guidance of his shop instructor, L.L. Robbins, at Baker Senior High School. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Oct. 6, 1989 The Oregon Trail had different meanings for different groups this week. To the crew of the Oregon State Highway Division, it was preparation time for access to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. To open such access, the state is surveying, grading and installing 1,550 feet of median strip on Highway 86. That center strip will facilitate turnoff from Highway 86 either to Ruckles Creek to the south or to the interpretive center on the north. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Oct. 6, 2004 Baker County Parks Director Lorrie Harvey has an idea she's pretty sure will float: a floating restroom for Brownlee Reservoir. Actually what Baker County waters will enjoy beginning next spring is two unisex bathrooms bobbing side by side at the confluence of the Powder and Snake rivers. It's all the comforts of home: Just tie your boat up, take care of your business, and get back to fishing. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Oct. 14, 2013 Each of the past17 samples of Baker City water tested has been free of cryptosporidium. These results, which date to mid-August, don't mean the city can relax its testing regimen in the wake of the crypto outbreak that sickened hundreds of residents in July and August. The city will continue to collect two water samples every week, probably until an ultraviolet light treatment plant is operating, City Manager Mike Kee said this morning. City officials hope that plant will be finished by late summer of 2014.

"I'm doing something now thatIfeelm akes a difference everyday.Why would Igive that up to go be a rubber stamper? I might as well not even be there,"Wehby said. The Merkleycampaign was quick to capitalize on Friday's revelations. 'Voters have concrete proof that Wehby in Washington would be a rubber stamp for national Republicans and their billionaire special interest allies," Merkley's campaign press secretary Lindsey O'Brien wrote in an email. OBrien said Merkley hasn't borrowed language from any other politician or candidate for his plans on issues. During his 12-minute speech on Thursday, McCain said Wehby would be "a voice of moderation" and independence in Congress. ''We need Monica there. We need a majority. We need a majority in both houses," McCain said.

Taxrelief forsale ofcattle duelo drought
PORTLAND — Farmers and ranchers in Oregon who previously were forced to sell livestock due to drought have an extendedperiodoftim e in which to replace the livestock and defer tax on any gains fiom the forced sales, the Internal Revenue Service announced Friday. Baker, Union and Grant counties are among the counties where livestock owners are eligible. Farmers and ranchers who due to drought sold more livestock than they normally would may defertax on theextra gains from those sales. To qualify, the livestock generally must bereplaced within a four-year period. The IRS is authorized to extend this period if the drought continues. The one-year extension ofthereplacement period announced Friday generally applies to capital gains realized by eligible farmers and ranchers on sales oflivestock held for draft, dairy orbreeding purposes due to drought. Salesofotherlivestock, such as those raised for slaughterorheld for sportmg purposes, and poultry are not eligible. Farmers and ranchers in Oregon whose drought salereplacement period was scheduled to expire at the end of this tax year, Dec. 31, 2014, in most cases, will now have until the end of their next tax year. Additional extensions will be granted if severe droughtconditions persist. Details on this relief are available in Notice 201460, posted on IRS.gov.

Food packagesarelarded with labels,m any of which employ nonspecific adjectives — "wholesome" and the like — rather than plain fact. Measure 92, which Oregon voters will decide on in the Nov. 4 election, deals with the factual kind of
r
label.
QpQ@g 80$$
It would require packaged food to include a label if the food contains genetically modified organisms
(GMO). Many foodsdo contain GMOs, and have for mo re than 20 years. We support Measure 92 because we believe consumers should have as much accurate information as possible about their food. But we think it's equally important, although this is not part of Measure 92, that Oregonians also understand that they have nothing to fear from GMOs. The consensus among scientists and doctors as to safety of GMO food (also known as bioengineered food) is overwhelming. Here's a couple examples from organizations whose expertise is beyond reproach: • American Medical Association (2012): "Bioengineered foods have been consumed for close to 20 years, and during that time, no overt consequences on human health have been reported and/or substantiated in the peer-reviewed literature. To date, no evidence has supported an increased degree of allergenicity of bioengineered foods compared to their nonbioengineered counterparts."
• World Health Organization (2013): "GM foods currently available on the international market have passed risk assessments and are not likely to present risks for human health. In addition, no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved." There are of course substances which can get into our foods and which, unlike GMOs, might be harmM A label that identified the presence of, say, pesticide residue would be far more beneficial than a label for something innocuous such as GMOs.

Walden's ambulance bill a good idea Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Medicare doesn't pay enough to cover the cost of many ambulance transports, so Congress has been passing legislation each year to help fill the gap. The uncertainty year after year complicates budgeting for local fire departments that provide the service, especially in smaller rural areas like Eastern Oregon. U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, istrying to address theproblem with a bill to make the short-term relief permanent. It's a good move. Smart planning isn't possible when one major component of a department's budget is uncertain. And small fire departments aren't in a positiontoabsorb thedifference between actual costs and Medicare's limited reimbursements. According to the Government Accountability Office, the median cost of
ambulance transport in 2012 was $429,
rangingfrom $224 to$2,204.Average reimbursements in super rural areas, however, were 14.3 percent lower than those costs. Closer to home, Redmond Fire & Rescue reports 45 percent of the department's ambulance transport calls areforMedicare patients,and the costs of supplies alone can total more than Medicare pays. In The Dalles, average costis$625 with average reimburse-
ment at $350. Walden's Medicare Ambulance Access, Fraud Prevention and Reform Act, which has bipartisan support, would give the departments the certainty of extra payments of 2 percent in urban areas, 3 percent in ruralareas,plus bonuses in super rural areas. Redmond Fire's coverage area includes three ZIP codes, one rural and two super rural. The bill would pay for itself by estab-
lishing controls on fraud connected with nonemergency transport for patients with end-stage renal disease. Walden's office said the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have identified a significant increase in such dialysis transports, and his bill would build on existingprograms inother statesthat use advanced authorizations to control related fraud. It's poor public policy to shift costs from Medicaretolocalruralfi redepartments by establishing inadequate reimbursement rates for ambulance transport. Walden's bill doesn't fix that underlying cause, but it does give local providers more certainty in their budgeting, and that should help alleviate the most immediate and troubling results. The bill deserves congressional suppoit.

No doubt Pierson tried her best to correct institutional problems, but she came upthrough the ranks,embedded in the culture that now fails. Sometimes it is hard to fix an organization from the inside.
The president must tread carefully in leveling criticism. These are the people he must trust without reservation to protect him and his family. Congress and the American people are not so burdened. They should demand answers beyond the platitudes that Pierson gave this week."I intend over the coming months to redouble my efforts," she said. Perhaps Pierson came to the conclusion that she could not follow through with an honest and forthright appraisal ofthe agency'sdeep-seated institutional failings. It's time to find a leader for the service who can.

worst high school graduation rates, but he's less specific about how he'd do it. He says he'd figure out what makes some education systems stronger than others, then try to eliminate the barriers to expanding them. Richardson, 65, grew up south of Los Angeles, raised alongwith two oldersisters by a carpenter and homemaker. He saved enough delivering newspapers to buy an old sports car, which he later sold to pay his first tuition bill at Brigham Young University. Without another Porsche to pay for more school, Richardson returned to California, where he reconnected with his high school sweetheart. They married and had a son. Richardson worked and saved money, eventually returning to BYU, but once again fell short on cash. "It was then we decided I can't afford to do this, I'm going to get drafted, I should really go enlist," Richardson sald. He joined the Army, was selected to be a helicopter pilot, and atter a year of training, went to Vietnam. Though he was never shot, his chopper sometimes came
back cratered with bullet holes. He had battles in his personal life, too. While Richardson was in Southeast Asia, he and his wife were divorced. Ten months into his yearlong tour of duty, with the war winding down, he was offereda chance to leave early and accepted. He returned to the United States and a life he didn't recognize. He had no job, no wife, owed child supportand felt"disoriented." In his search for the purposeoflife,hereconnected with the Mormon faith his fatherhad long before left behind. It changed his life. "I can be good at being a heathen," Richardson said."I can eat drink and be merry. But I only wanted to do it if that was all that there was to life." Richardson got married again and returned to BYU to finish his degree and go to law school. Looking for an affordable place to raise their family, Richardson and his wife, Cathy, settled in southern Oregon. He opened a legalpractice and theyraised their eight children, all girls. Afterspending decades to build his practice, he shut it down to focus on his political career. "For Cathy and I, we made the decision we would spend thelast50 yearsofour lives in service," Richardson said. "If I'm not the governor, we can serve meals at St. Vincent de Paul."
STATE BRIEFING Caves added to historic places register KLAMATH FALLS iAPl — The National Park Service has added a Lake County cave complex to the National Register of Historic Places, atter researchers find evidence ofhuman occupation in Oregon beginning 12,300 years
ago. That's nearly 1,000 years earlier than previously thought, reported The Klamath Falls Herald and News
reports 4ttp//is.gd/ORj2dCl. Excavations began at the Paisley Five Mile Point Caves in the 1930s. In 2002, students &om the University of Oregon renewed the search for human remains. A sandal from the cave complex is on display at the Klamath County Museum. The sandal dates back 8,000 to 9,000 years and was excavated by University of Oregon professor and archaeologist Luther Cressman, who initiated the digs at Paisley and nearby Fort Rock Cave. 'The site helps us understand more about how people were getting into the area, though it's still unanswered in a lot of ways," Reynolds said. Paisley Five Mile Point Caves are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The caves' artifacts and organic remains, such as preservedfeces,called coprolites,are some ofthe earliestartifacts in North America and provide clues to how humans lived and moved across North America, said Stan McDonald, state archaeologist for Oregon and Washington for the BLM. Findings at Paisley predate by more than 1,000 years the appearance of southwest Clovis sites, which are known for distinctive projectile point artifacts. For many years, the Clovis have been widely accepted as the first humans to settle in the Americas.
Ditch-clogging weed found along Columbia SALEM — An aquatic weed capable of clogging irrigation canals and other waterways has appeared along the shores of the Columbia River in Oregon for the first time. Six patches of flowering rush, an invasive Eurasian species, up to 10 feet in diameter were found growing east of McNary Dam near Umatilla this summer. However, the weeds have yet to be removed as state officials must confer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has jurisdiction over the river, about federal permits for eliminating the plants. "It's still sitting there, waiting," said Dan Hilburn, administrator of plant programs at the Oregon Department of Agriculture, noting that state officials have a meeting with the federal agency on Oct. 23. "It just takes over," he said.'What used to be open water turns into solid flowering rush." — Mateusz Perkowski, Capital Press

Camping withkids: Emotional roller coaster Some families plan their vacation around visiting an amusement park. I say who needs an amusement park when you can hop on board the emotional roller coaster of a family camp out. It starts with excitement as you choosea place togo and hype itup so your kids will feel the enthusiasm. Then you start to pack, and let's face it, the only thing worse than packing is unpacking. The excitement brews again when it comes time to leave, only to be squashed by the"this is a long drive" coming from the backseat before you're even out of the valley.

I am falling in love with fall and all of its beauty and gifts. Our neighbors have blessedus with a largebasket ofpearsand here are some of the recipes that I have enjoyed. One of my old time favorites is Poached Pears in Red Wine. This is the simplest dessertIhave ever made. Itisdecadent, and when topped with cream your guests will think that you have gone to a great effort. Any kind of red wine works. Leaving the pears, vanilla and wine simmering for hours will fill up your home with a lovely aroma.This is the perfectdessert for having company. As a California girl, making apple butter has always sounded romantic to me. I have made ittwice before but find myself never eating it. I tried making pear butter for the first time thisyear and realized that Iprefer pear buttertoalmost any fruit that I have canned.

School memories, Part Two I hadn't planned to write more about football and the field on which it was played until my fingers and my brain had a decision to go their own ways, now making it necessary for me to explain just a bit. It all came about in column No. 228, in the Sept. 22 issue, while I was writing about high school days and our marching band playing forthefootballgames on the field out behind the school buildings. It appears that sometimes I am writing but not thinking about what I'm doing directly because I am already thinking about something else. That is not good, for my fingers on the computer keys travel separately fiom my brain, putting down what they want to put rather than what I am trying to tell them to do. Hopefully I can blame it on a senior moment or just a wandering brain cell that makes me make mistakes since I believe that my brain is a small computer and that it sometimes takes a while for it to catch up with my head, sort of a "slow dial-up." That said (as they say), the word "Mh"jumped out at me when I turned the newspaper to the Home & Living Section B to see if my column was there. It was but my error glared out fiom all the rest of the print. "How did that get there?" I asked myseK "Because I put it there," Daphne answered. "Naughty girl," I scolded. 'You knew better than to do that. It looks like I didn't know my history and now folks will be letting me know I was wrong." SeeDory /Prr/,e 2B

Stir all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and reduce to a simmer and cook for 50 minutes. Keep covered with the lid slightly open and stir occasionally making sure the bottom does not burn. It should reduce slightly and become thickened.

Gettinggaragereadyfer winter ByAIan J. Heavens The Philadelphia Inquirer
With fall here and winter on its way, it might be time to straighten out the garage, so you can at least find the snow shovels when you need them. The Lehigh Group, maker of Crawford brand garage and home-workshop organization products, recommends cleaning out the spaceoriginall y designed forcars,suggesting that clutter there might mask hidden dangerssuch asstoringgasoline,pesticides and other dangerous chemicals. So how should you approach the task of cleaning up? Separate items into categories such as auto supplies, lawn and garden tools, holiday decorations and sports equipment. Then, pitch, donate or sell items you don't use.
DORY
Before organizing and storing, use a multipurpose push broom to sweep the garage floor, or wash down the floor with a water hose. Separate the garage into zonesforstoring each category of items, and then identify the mostappropriate storage method. One great storage strategyis to usethe vertical plane to keep the floor free of clutter. Garages provide ample wall and ceiling spacethatcan easily beused forvertical storage through use ofhanging shelves, pegboards, rails,and overhead systems. Establish a solid game plan to organize thetypicalplethora ofsportsgear,aswellas the family's fleet ofbikes. There's nothing like getting ready to ride and looking through the paint and gasoline cans for your helmet.

Continued from Page1A Camping with kids comes with a wide range of emotions and interesting challengesthatjustseem topresent themselves. About the only thing you can guarantee is things happening that might not seem amusing but will make for great memories down the road. Taking your kids camping might lead to some of their fondest memories as well as your own. Last month we went to Yellowstone National Park right after Labor Day. Our 4-year-old son kept asking who let the animals out of their cages, and he was convinced that bears were going to eat his shoes. While watching the sunrises and sunsets he would ask his dad,"Do you really have to go back to work?" Now if you were to ask him what he thought of Yellowstone he'd tell you that the
geysersand hot potssm elled "bisgusting" and then he'd list all the animals we saw. Fortunately what he doesn't seem to remember is the food he didn't want to eat, crashing on his bike, road construction, and his little brother fussing because he was cutting teeth. Those were the things that seemed to be a big deal at the time but are easily overshadowed when remembering the good times. My husband and I both come from large families — I have five siblings and he has
eight. Our parents could have said camping was too much work with so many kids but fortunately they didn't. Family camp outs were part of our childhood. Our parents rode the emotional roller coaster time after time and we were all lucky to be along for the ride. Fortunately we can all be season-pass owners and don't have just one tickettoride.

BOULDER, Colo.— Oregon State, with a well-deserved reputation as a strong passing team, leaned on its improved running game topullouta tense victory over Colorado. Terron Ward ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns, including a 10-yard score with 5:09 remaining, and Oregon State's defense turned away Colorado's last-gasp drive as the Beavers hung on to beat the Buffaloes 36-31 on Saturday. "It's very good to run," Oregon State Coach Mike Riley said.'We all know it was kind of an Achilles' heel for us until the very last part of seasonlastyear.Itlooked like good, balanced football today and that will help us as we go forward." Sean Mannion, bouncing back from a rough outing in last week's loss at Southern Cal, completed 27 of 37 for278 yards and hislone

Storm Woods, complementing Ward, added 69 yards rushing and a score for the Beavers, who averted back-to-back conference road losses for the first time since 2003. ''We were expecting a battle and as you saw, it was right down to the last possession," Mannion said. "I think it was good that we could come right out after a tough, tough loss and handle a road game, handle the environment and handle a tough opponent and really play well." Sefo Liufau completed 32 of 49 for 308 yards and two touchdowns, both to Tyler McCulloch. But with Colorado facing a fourth down at the Oregon State 40 in the last couple of minutes, Liufau, with two Oregon State defenders in his face, threw incomplete. The Beavers took

Once it sailed inside the foul pole and landed in the lower left field seats, he had salvageda victory for the LosAngeles Dodgersafter their bullpen almost gave it away. Kemp hita go-ahead home run leading off the eighth inning, lifting the Dodgers to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night and evening their NL Divi-

The crowd of 54,599 erupted in cheers as Kemp rounded the bases. Bubbles percolated into the hot night air from a machine in the dugout the Dodgers turn on to celebrate homers. "It seemed like a mistake pitch to Matt and he's been hot, as everyone knows, and that was exciting," Dodgers starter Zack Greinke said.

LOS ANGELES iAPl — Matt Carpenter dug in against Clayton Kershaw, fouling off pitches and fighting an 0-2 count. He finally broke through, smacking a go-ahead three-run double that rallied the St. Louis Cardinals to victory. Carpenter's hit highlighted an eight-run seventh inning, and the Cardinals went on to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-9 in a fiery NL Division Series opener Friday.
Peavy leads Giants past Washington WASHINGTON iAPl — Put Jake Peavy on the San Francisco Giants, and he suddenly turns into quite a postseason performer. Same for a couple of rookies, Hunter Strickland and Joe Panik. Seems that October aura manager Bruce Bochy has cultivated with the Giants rubs off on anyone joining the club. The intense Peavy took a no-hitter into the fikh inning, Strickland and the rest of San Francisco's rested bullpen barely protected a lead, and the wild-card Giants won their league-record ninth consecutive postseason game by beating Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Friday in an NL Division Series opener.
Orioles rally past Detroit in Game 2 BALTIMORE iAPl — Down by three runs in the eighth inning, the Baltimore Orioles had every reason to believe they could rally against the Tigers. Not only because the Orioles are capable of scoring in bunches, but more importantly, they were going up against Detroit's leaky bullpen. Delmon Young drove in three runs with a pinch-hit double, and Baltimore used a four-run eighth to pull out a 7-6 victory Friday for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five AL Division Series.

race that folks in Kansas City had turned their attentiontofootballseason has gone on a tremendous tear, painting the entire city blue in the process. They've back in the postseason for the first time since 1985, and even Angelsmanager Mike Scioscia thinks they might be sticking around a while. "They're going to be a tough team to beat in this tournament," he said. The power-hitting Angels, 98-64 in the regular season, became the second team in the divisional era thatbegan in 1969tohave the best record in the majors and get swept out of the playoffs, according to STATS. In no small coincidence, the Royals dealt the same humiliating
fate to the New York Yankees in the 1980 ALCS. Stalking around the mound amid an electric atmosphere, Shields lived up to his "Big Game James" billing. The Royals' ace gave up homers to Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, but otherwise held in check a suddenly punchless Los Angeles lineup
Shields was helped, too, by diving grabs by outfielder Lorenzo Cain on back-to-back plays. All told the Angels, the highest-scoring team in baseball, managed six runs in the entire series. 'You don't go in with any badge saying you won the m ost games," Scioscia said, "and you're certainly not going to get any points for that going into the playoffs."
Oriolesseekfirstsennantsince1991 By NoahTrlster AP Baseball Wnter
DETROIT — On the verge ofhis first playofFseries victory as a major league manager, Buck Showalter made another unusual move — and it worked. Showalter put the winning run on base with an intentional walk in the ninth inning Sunday, and closer Zach Britton got the next batter to hit into a game-ending double play that gave the Baltimore Orioles a 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers and a sweep of their AL Division Series. 'You guys can judge conventionality," said Showalter, who once won a game atter intentionally walking Barry Bonds with the bases loaded."I think each situation changes depending on the strength of your players and the strength of their players on a given night."
Now the Orioles move on to the AL Championship Series. It's the first time they've been there since 1997 — and the first-ever LCS appearance for Showalter. Baltimore hosts Game 1 against Kansas City on Friday. The Orioles haven't won a World Series since 1983, and the Royals haven't since 1985. Neither team has a pennant since then, either. These two teams certainly weren't favored to emerge this year in an American League that includes the star-studded Tigers, the big-market Yankees and Red Sox and the always-dangerous Athletics. Yet, here they are. The Royals swept the Los Angeles Angels, who had baseball'sbestrecord during the regular season. Baltimore swept a Detroit team that had the AL's last three Cy Young Award winners. The
Tigers lined up Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and David Price to pitch the first three games — and lost them all. ''We knew what we were getting into — three Cy Youngs back-to-back-toback," Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy said. "It's a great team over there. We didn't expect to win three straight like that." Bud Norris outpitched Price on Sunday, and Nelson Cruz hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning for the only runs the Orioles would need. Showalter, who used reliever Andrew Miller for 1 2-3 innings in a Game 1 win, had him get five outs again Sundayin relief of Norris. Then came the ninth, when the Tigers scored and had the tying run at second with nobody out. Bryan Holaday struck out atter a failed bunt attempt, and Showalter had Britton intentionally walk Nick Castellanos.
