SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Overshadowed the last two years when he played behind a pair of seasoned guards, CJ McCollum has blossomed into a rising star for the PoltlandTrail Blazers. McCollum had 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Blazers to a 98-94 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night. No Blazers player in the past 29 years had put up numbers similar to McCollum's near triple-double. Clyde Drexler had at least 34 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists five times.

Small, single-engine air tankers stationed for the first time this summer in Prineville ended up dropping a large amount of fire retardant around Oregon. The two firefighting planes

dropped 195,906 gallons of retardant, according todata from the Oregon Department of Forestry. In all this past fire season, agency tankers unloaded a combined 838,000 gallons around the state, so the Prineville planes deliverednearly a quarterof that. "They were pretty busy and active," said Christie Shaw, Oregon Department of Forestry spokeswoman in Prineville, on Thursday. The planes were part of a

$5 million program to beef up the firefighting fleet in Oregon this past year. The agency was able to move the small tankers around the state when needed. Over the course of the fire season, they reloaded in John Day, Medford, Roseburg and The Dalles. But primarily they flew in and out of Prineville and Redmond, carrying 71,784gallons ofretardant from Prineville and 48,977 from Redmond.

'%e want them to see the damage they've done not only to themselves, but to the communities they lived in," Walton said."The AIP program allows them to give back to a community. We want them to look to their future and dwell in the past." He said the therapy helps inmates see themselves in a positive way. Giving gifts to others in need fits in with the therapy the inmates are undergoing. The therapy also helps with other behavioral issues they may have that contributed to criminal activities. "This gives them healthy tools to have better relationships and deal with anger management issues,"Walton sard. Bork and Walton said the gift bags aren't the only community project that inmates come up with themselves.. They can come up with plans for a project that benefits the community and then present it to the prison administration for approval. When and ifapproved,they getto m ove forward with their project. Trump said the gift bags will be distributedto foster children and other needy children through the Department ofHuman Services, Baker County Juvenile Department and a local food bank.

faster and more maneuverable. The agency showed ofF their capabilities by having one of them precisely drop an 800-gallonload ofretardant during a July demonstration at the Prineville Airport. The planes provided air support on about two dozen fires, flying about 250 times this year, and probably will be back next season at Prineville, Shaw said. "Everyone was a big fan of how they worked and what

and advertised in the prison newsletter," she said. Bork and other stafFhave only done the work on the project that the prisoners can't do, such as buying and delivering the gifts. "The most important message is that this was inmate-driven," she said. "It was their idea and they did all the work." Bork said one of the inmates who helped launch the project was particularly interested in getting the gift itemsin the bags to teenagersbecause he knew what it was like to go without when he was that age. "That is a group he identifies with," she said."He was in that situation." Drug and alcohol counselor Tracy Trump said theprojectisa greatopportunity for the prisoners to learn a new way oflooking at the world. They get to see abigger picture and realizewhat it feels like to help others. "I think it's pretty amazing that they were ableto come together,"Trump said. eTo see them reach out to a community that they don't even live in is awesome." The program's director, Dennis Walton, agrees. He said that the intensive cognitive behavioral therapy inmates in AIP receive is designed to give them anew perspectiveto be abletom ove forward without committing crimes.

they were able to do with them," she said, "so the plan at this point is that we would want them back." In previous fire seasons, the Oregon Department of Forestry had two, three or even four large air tankers stationed around the state. But this year it only had one, said Rod Nichols, spokesman for the agency in Salem. That was a converted four-engine airliner — a DC-7 — which carriedabout 3,000 gallons of retardantata tim e. The state used six of the single-engine air tankers, including the two stationed in Prineville, according to the forestry department. The smaller planes, AT802s, look like crop dusters but were designed specifically for firefighting, Nichols said. Adding to their versatility, the planes are refilled by a mobile system. Pulled by a truck on a trailer, the tanker refueling-and-refilling operation can move almost anywhere as long as there is anearby relatively short stretch of flat ground for an airstrip. Fire crews can set up close to where the tankers are flying, and then the aircraft can "make trip after trip to the fire," Nichols said.

John Berg holding up newspaper clipping from April 19, 1969, that features a story about the historicWisdom House.

So did Loy, John Berg says. "She slid down that banister every morning well into her 80s," he says. The original furniture in the home was crafted in New England in 1879 and shipped "around the horn" to the Columbia River. Wisdom picked it up at Milton-Freewater. "He brought it from there on his buckboard. It took four trips," John Berg says. After Loy's death, much of that furniture was divided between the remaining family and now decorates their historic homes. John Berg, for instance, has the piano that dates to 1881.He started learning to play a year ago at age 70. Some parts of the Wisdom House were a mystery to these men until they could explore during this recent visit. The attic, for instance, was always off-limits. "The attic was always locked," Jeff says. There used to be a sleeping porch on the second storythe area on the north side

that is now an open porch. "It was always locked," Jeff says. "And they wouldn't let us in," Bruce adds. This time, though, they were able toexplorethe whole house, and even the stone buildings out back that were used to storeice blocks and food. The house, John Berg says, was 14 years old before electri city was added. "Mom said the electrician wore out three drill bits drilling through those beams," he says of the foot-thick lumber beneath the house. The house didn't have plumbing to start with either, but it did have one of Baker's earliest bathtubs. ''When you were done with your bath, you went outside and pulled the plug. The water drained into the yard," John says. But for all they do remember, there are plenty questions that will never be answered. "There's so much we didn't ask," John says.

Oregon Public Records Law? It should not. Especially when there is suspicion that a government employee did something wrong. We bring this up because Deschutes County Sheri6' Shane Nelson recently denied The Bulletin's request for personnel and disciplinary records for senior officials in the Sheri6"s Office. Bulletin reporter Claire Withycombe requested the records after it was announced that Capt. Scott Beard, the head of the detectives division, is on paid leave while there is an investigation into mismanagement of money. The investigation kindles questions. It would be valuable for the public to know if there had been allegations before about Beard or other senior sta6'and how they were

handled. Did Beard or others escape discipline in the past? Nelson said he would release some of the personnel records. But hedenied any release ofdisciplinary records. He pointed out that there is an exemption under Oregon's public records law for disciplinary actions. That's true. It's nowhere near the whole truth. The exemption does not apply if no sanction was imposed. Here's the direct quote fmm the Oregon's Public Records and Meetings Manual: "Only completed disciplinary actions when a sanction is imposed, and materials or documents that support that particular disciplinary action, fall within the scope of this exemption." That arose out of a case involving the Portland Police when the court held that where no discipline was imposed as a result of an inquiry, the personnel discipline exemption does not apply. Nelson told us he did not know that part of the law.

We asked Nelson ifhe would release disciplinary records when no sanction was imposed. He said he was not sure. This is not an option. Nelson was appointed to the position, not anointed. We do trust that he will at least be a competent sheriff That means that he will execute all of the laws. Not some of the laws. Another thing to remember about the exemption for disciplinary actions is that it is not an automatic exemption. It's a conditional exemption. There's a balancing test between the public's interest and protecting the privacy of employees. Nelson made it abundantly clear to The Bulletin's editorial board that he believes he must protect the privacy of employees to ensure that he can hire and retain good employees. First of all, what do good employees have to be worried about if their disciplinary records are open for inspection? There is also a point at which the public's interest outweighs the interest in privacy. Well turn again to the Public Records and Meetings Manual: "... there are situations when the public interest in disclosure outweighs the public employee's interest in confidentiality, despite the imposition of a disciplinary sanction. For example, the public interest typically favors disclosure if the conduct potentially constitutes a criminal o6ense or if the records relate to alleged misuse and theft

of public property by public employees." The people of Deschutes County deserve to know if senior sta6'at the sheri6"s office have been investigated. Those disciplinary records don't belong to the sheri6'or

the employee. They belong to the public. The public has the right to monitor their government. Any sheri6'who deserves the position should know that.

8 amin ee orcimatec an e re uires z z ma , o it i c s Climatechange activists aredisappointed with the Paris agreement because, in the words of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, it doesn't go "far enough." High on their list of policy goals is a tax on meat, akin to tobacco and alcohol "sin taxes." The theory is that meat, especially beef, is disproportionately responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and if we were able to change how people eat, primarily in wealthier countries like the U.S., we could take a significant bite out of climate change. A blueprint to achieve the meat tax is laid out in a November report by Chatham House, a London-based think tank. The group concedes that the issue is "complex." Yet it advises governments to push for the taxes through publicly funded public relations campaigns which make the matterappear clear-cut,because "publicsrespond besttosim ple messages." This is an unusual recommendation for a group known for promoting open debate. For radical animal rights groups and puritanical health crusaders, promoting vegetarian diets is, well, a red-meat issue. But the environmental case against meat is a stretch, requiring fuzzy math and politicized science. Those backing the taxes cite the United Nation's Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model, or GLEAM, which concluded in 2013 that livestock, including beef, milk production, and poultry, accounts for 15 percent ofglobalgreenhouse gas emissions. However, the model was not developed as fodder foranti-meat campaigns,

JEFF STIER but ratherasa tooltoguidethelivestock industry toward more sustainable production. Using GLEAM as scientific evidence to argue against meat consumption is as far-fetched as it would be to fight organic agriculture because it relies on manure, a source of methane and nitrous oxide, both greenhouse gases. No wonder advocates want to keep their messaging simple. The idea that reducing meat consumption would make both humans and the earth healthier is challenged by consideration of the environmental impact of alternatives. For instance, almonds, a darling of health food advocates, are highly waterintensive. The U.N. hasn't yet calculated the water-footprint of your almond milkbased smoothie. So whatwould be the environmental impact if we did reduce our caloric intake and shifted to the U.S. government's dietary guidelines? Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University evaluated just that. In a study published in Environment Systems and Decisions last month, such a change "increases energy use by 38 percent, blue water footprint by 10 percent, and GHG igreenhouse gasl emissions by 6 percent." Or, as the British newspaper The Independentreported it,"Lettuce is'three times worse than bacon' for emissions and vegetariandietscould be bad for environment." Of course, replacing lettuce for m eat

and comparing emissions on a caloriefor-cal orie basisisabsurd.Butitunderscoresarelevant point:m eat isactually nutrient dense — and tasty. The report explains, "these perhaps counterintuitive results are primarily due to USDA recommendations for greatercaloricintake of6uits,vegetables, dairy and fish/seafood, which have relatively high resource use and emissions per calorie." This isn't the first study to challenge the simplistic"meat is bad for the environment" claim. According to a recent study from the University of Michigan's Center for Sustainable Systems,"An iso-caloric shift trom the current average U.S. diet to USDA dietary recommendations could result in a 12 percent increase in diet-related GHG emissions, whereas a shift that includes a decrease in caloric intake, based on the needs of the population — assuming moderate activity, results in a sm all,1 percentdecrease in diet-related GHG emissions." The lesson: if you want to advocate formeat taxes,follow the advice ofthe experts and keep it simple. Otherwise, the science will get in the way of your agenda.

closed> It's unfortunate that houses and apartments these days are constructed so closely together that folks don't have neighbor elbowroom like they used to on farms and that restaurant tables and chairsare soclosetogether that you can't help overhearing conversations from strangers. The first is for another consideration, but the latter brings me to a rather comical conclusion — restaurant dining. As for sitting in an eatery and you are dining alone, other conversations come drifting in whether you want to hear them or not. It's nota m atterofeavesdropping which my mother taught me not to do. It simply can't be avoided. The folks sitting next to me a few months ago in an eatery were very compatible and meeting to catch-up on friendly visiting, so they had things on which to bring each other up-to-date. Politi cs,tragediesoccurring overseas and athome, food preferences,shared people, health concerns, and some trivia that easily sailed over my head. Then they began talking about whether or not they snored at night, a rather surprising subject that did catch my attention. The women seemed more aware of this from their mates who disagreed with their assessment. I really tried not paying close attention to such a personal bodily function until one man jokingly spoke. cYou can't hum with your nose closed," he laughed. SeeDory IPaI,e 2B

The tradit ionalred color seems to expand yearly and the plants now can be found in pink,white and multicolors. In fact, according to"Poinsettia Facts" from the University of Illinois Extension Service, there are m ore than 100 varietiesin different sizes, shapes and colors including purple, yellow and salmon-colored. I'velearned that thecolorfulpetals arebracts,or m odified leaves,that surround the tiny green and red buds that are the plant's true flowers. Until last year, it always seemed thatthe colorfulbractsfaded and began to drop right along with the needles of our Christmas tree. And the plant usually was ready to be pitched when the tree went out the door. But then, my friend, Bev Schaer, let me in on a secret that made all the difference in extending the beauty of my poinsettia. Like most houseplants, poinsettias can suffer just as much from overwatering as they can from underwatering. They don't like to be left standing in a pool of water that can gather in the pot' sdecorative foilcovering ifthe covering isn't removed during routine watering. SeePoinsettia I Page2B

Warm butternut squash and cheddar dip.

By Gretchen McKay Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

It's tough to survive the holidays without putting on a few extra pounds. All those parties and family get-togethers have a way of tempting us with tasty treats that aren't exactly calorie-conscious. From the cookies and other sugary sweets to the endless parade of mini-quiches and bacon-wrapped shrimp, we're doomed if we dare show up even the tiniest bit hungry. And that doesn't even take into account the alcohol. We could offer to party-throwers a menu ofheart-healthy recipes, but let's be honest: Party-goers crave something they know isn't especiall y good forthem. Here's the challenge: You want your food to be so delicious-looking that it makes everyone's mouth water, but healthful enough that no one feels guilty about eating a ton. Belowarerecipesfor some simple-but-tasty horsd'oeuvres that,saveforthedecadent blue cheese-pecan tart that's worth every hip-hugging calorie, are relatively guilt-free. Why go for the cheese ball, for instance, when you can make a creamy cheese dip with winter's favorite vegetable, butternut squash? Instead of the standard shrimp cocktail, how about thin stripsoflemongrass-marinated beefwrapped around crunchy scallions? The bestpartisallcan be assembled beforehandand then refrigerated,ready to be popped into the oven or finished off on the stovetopjustbeforeyourguestsarrive. That way, you can have some fun,too.

I.EMONGRASSBEEF AND SCALLION ROLLS This dish is an easy version of the Japanese dish beef negimaki, Roll them ahead, wrap in plastic and store in the fridge until you're ready to grill and serve.You'll find lemongrass stalks in Asian markets. 1"/z pounds top round steak 4 lemongrass stalks, trimmed, pounded and minced 1 garlic clove, minced 2 tablespoons fish sauce 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons or soy sauce "/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 6 scallions Toasted crushed sesame seeds, for serving

outside of each roll. If desired, thread rolls onto wooden skewers or toothpicks that have been soaked in water. Grill until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot.

Cut sausage into small pieces. Heat oil in skillet and add pieces of sausage and the onion. Saute until sausage get some color and the onions are soft and lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Cool completely, then transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Process about 20 to 30 seconds or until meat and onions are fairly fine. Transfer to bowl and fold in cream cheese and parsley, mixing thoroughly. Add hot sauce, blending well. Serve immediately or cover and chill. Bring out "/z hour before using. Spread on toast points or fresh bread or add rounded teaspoons to miniature filo cups.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Grease a small baking dish with olive oil and set aside. Peel, seed, and dice the squash into 1-inch cubes. Alternatively, use the microwave: Poke holes all over the squash with a fork or make shallow slits in the skin with a knife. Microwave squash for 3 minutes or until the skin and flesh have softened slightly. Peel squash and cut into cubes. Discard seeds. Place squash cubes on the prepared sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast squash until fork-tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes Meanwhile, melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add sage leaves and fry in butter until lightly crisped and beginning to darken slightly. Remove pan from heat and remove sage leaves using a slotted spoon. Set aside. Returnpan to heat,add onion,and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion has caramelized, about 30 minutes. Add more butter if onion begins to stick to pan. Stir in garlic at the very end and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Place roasted squash, caramelized onion mixture, and about 2/3 of the crispy sage leaves into the bowl of a food processor. Process until well combined. Add cream cheese and sour cream and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Transfer squash mixture to prepared baking dish and mix in half of the cheddar cheese throughout. Top with remaining half of cheese. (At this point, the dip can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking and serving.) When ready to serve, bake dip at 400 degrees until cheese is entirely melted and browned in spots, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining crispy sage leaves and serve warm with pita chips or crackers for dipping.

Continued ~om Rge 1B I got to thinking about that and wanted to tryit out, butit was so public that I didn't dare tryit while sitting there, especiaflyright next to them. Itdid givem ecauseforpause, though, and I figured if I didn't forgetit before I got home, I'd tryit in myown privacy. The thoughtdid make sense, though, and much more interesting than all the other mundane subjects thataresharedoverplates offoodin arelaxed atmosphere with fiiends. Whatreally came to mind, though, as I thought about humming was a mental picture of the small musical kazoos that we used to have and used them to play at parties, particularly New Year's gatherings. In the spirit of things, someonewould bring abag of theselittle"music makers" and pass them out to anyone wanting to participate.After the festivities, they would be gathered up again and stored forthenextbigoccasion. Often they found themselves temporarilyin the hands and mouths oflittle cherubs. When the sound became too much, they suddenly disappeared iThe horns, I mean; not the children unless it was off to

bed sans the noisemaker.) When accessible, we would blow into the little tin pipe with a piece of thin paper over a hole in it that would flutter when blown upon. Then wecouldhum a tunethmugh it and hope others would recognize the song...or not. Sometimes we would do that with a single player and instrument or sometimes a little group would play, hopefully the same song together. Lodge members sometimes found it very amusing to form such a band and entertain at their programs and parties. For some reason, the attempt always brought a laugh fiom the listeners. It was especiafly funny at New Years with any group out to celebrate the occasion. I'm not sure why. Wherevertherewere

3 pounds fresh jalapeno peppers, washed 2 cups cider vinegar 6cups white granulated sugar /2teaspoon turmeric /2teaspoon celery seed 3 teaspoons granulated garlic 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper Wearing gloves, remove and discard stems from all of the jalapeno peppers. Slice the peppers into uniform [-"/4 inch rounds. Set aside. In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, white sugar, turmeric, celery seed, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pepper slices and simmer for exactly 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers, loading into clean, sterile canning jars to within "/4 inch of the top rim of the jar. Turn heat up under the pot with the syrup and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 6 minutes. Use a ladle to pour the boiling syrup into the jars over the jalapeno slices. Insert a cooking chopstick to the bottom of the jar two or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust the level of the syrup if necessary. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean damp paper towel and fix on new two-piece lids to finger tip tightness. If eating right away, place jars in refrigerator. To can, place jars in a canner and cover with water by 2-inches. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. When it reaches a full rolling boil, set the timer for 10 minutes for half-pints or 15 minutes for pints. When timer goes off, use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a cooling rack. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. When fully cooled, wipe them with a clean, damp washcloth, then label. To serve, spoon candied jalapenos on top of cream cheese and serve with crackers. Makes 4 (8 ounce) jars. — tastykitchen.com

people should they become aware that the man's bright comment on the physical limitation of the nose has been shared with my diary. Anyone not knowing whether or not this is possible should tryit — in the privacy of their own home, though. By the way, another new year is coming up shortly. I wonder where I put my kazoo? I know it should be here someplace in one of my boxes. Otherwise, how can I bringin the coming New Year with any satisfaction?

Continued ~om Page 1B Instead, Bev advised, take the foil off and place the plant in the sink to water it.Letthepotdrain completely before putting it back in its shiny foil covering. That simple step helped sustain my poinsettia well into 2015, and I hope to have similar success in the coming new year. Another thing to consider is that poinsettias do not like our cold weather, which should come as no surprise since they are"grown at temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with a high relative humidity in as much sunshine as possible in the greenhouse," according the Oregon State University Extension Service flier"Care and Handling of Poinsettias" by R.A. McNeilan. That's also why poinsettia experts adviseholiday shoppers to gettheir plants home from the store as soon as possible after purchasing them. The plants shouldn't be the first thing you buy during a long shopping trip and left in the car in the cold for hours while you pursuethe perfectpresents. The same goes for when you get the plant home. It should be placed away from drafts — and protected from too much heat as well. Poinsettias do best in temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees, the experts say. And they like a well-lighted location, but will do best if kept out of direct sunlight. McNeil also advises fertilizing the plants every seven to 10 days with a 20-20-20or20-5-10 mix ofnitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. But don't overfertilize, he cautions. You can almost hear your plant cry for water as it begins to wilt when it has gone too long between waterings. But a drink at the sink will solve that problem. Another point I put in use successfully on last year's plant was to test the soil daily to save it from wilting By dipping my finger in the soil, I could keep in touch with the moisture leveland water the poinsettia asneeded. Although the plants can be brought back to flower again for next year's Christmas season, that's not anything I'm interested in. But I will be looking for just the right plant again next Christmas and hope to make it last as long into the cold winter days as possible. And thanks to the advice of my friend, Bev,theodds aregreatly im proved that I'll once again achieve success.

One popular, and easy, appetizer you see on a lot of holiday party tables is cream cheese topped with some sort of spicy jelly. This year, dress the dish up with a lip-tingling jar of "cowboy candy," or candied jalapeno. It's easy to make and very pretty; for added holiday cheer, use a mix of green and red peppers. Be forewarned: These are totally addictive.
