TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 29, 1965 The city council, in a resolution passed last night, is urging the State Highway Commission to withhold any action on the Interstate 80 N freeway for at least six months.

The resolution, which was expected to be drafted today

by CityAttorney H.B. (Bard) Johnson, will be presented to highway officials at the public hearing set for 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Baker Junior High gymnasium.

The city is asking for the delay pending the results of the planning study on the freeway by consulting engineers and the freeway access study by a citizen's committee appointed earlier by Mayor Ralph E. McNeil.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 29, 1990 Glen Bates, a retired CP National Corp. employee, defeated two other candidates for the Baker District seat on the OregonTrail Electric Cooperative board of directors in a Thursday election.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 29, 2005 Shade soothes skin on a hot day — until it falls and cracks your skull.

Which is precisely the tragedy Peter Ellingson and the other members of Baker City'sTree Board hope to prevent.

Ellingson, who's also a Baker Citycouncilor, plucked a chunk of wood from the heart of a silver maple tree at the city's Geiser-Pollman ParkTuesday morning, and tossed it onto the grassy ground.

Maples are hardwoods.

But the wood Ellingson pried from this tree has the soft, crumbly texture of a buttermilk biscuit fresh from the oven.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 30, 2014 Oh how contradictory June can be.

Last year, riders in the Baker City Cycling Classic rode in sweltering heat and humidity during the Friday road race, never seeming to get enough water to counteract the conditions.

This year, racers took off in 70-degree weather. They actually emptied their water bottles during the Catherine Creek climb, and many didn't get extra water at the last feed zone.

I would periodically roll the window down throughout the race and hear the female racers chatting with one another, exchanging encouraging phrases and

Exhausted and sprawled out at the finish line, they cheered for the next person coming in, whether they were teammates or complete strangers.

Those cheers were echoed when the winners received their awards on the podium shortly afterward.

Type I Team is being assigned to this fire.

Evacuations are being coordinated by the Grant County Sherifl"s Office.

Fire Restrictions Beginningtoday,fire restrictions have been put into place by the BLM

Vale Office.

Lightning sparked several fires near John Day Sunday afternoon and evening.

"We got hammered," said Public Affairs Specialist Shilo Burton with the Malheur National Forest.

The Harper Creek Complexiscomposed ofthree separate fires.

According to Burton, the main blaze is estimated to be 700 acres and although not contained, there is a dozer line around 80 percentto 90 percent of the fire.

That blaze — called the Harper Creek Fire — was reported early Sunday afternoonand quickly spread from about 30 acres to 700 by evening due to high winds.

Sparked by lightning as well, the Hog Creek Fire is estimatedto be about 50 acres. It is believed to be made up of a few smaller fires.

Similarly, the Laycock Creek Fire is made up of four to five smaller fires thattotalabout 20 acres.

Shilo said most of the complex is believed to be on private lands. Several crews from Oregon Department of Forestry, the ForestService and local rural fire departments are battling the blazes.

Aviationsupport isbeing called in today.

Weather is a concern.

"Hopefully the weather will cooperate, but it's not expectedto getbetter,"

Shilo said.

Also in Grant County: According to an ODF pressrelief,the Sugar Loaf Fire was reported Saturday burning in grass and timber in Central Oregon on Bureau of Land Management landnine miles north of Dayville.

Fire behavior was reported as extreme with residences evacuated and one outbuilding destroyed.

The Fire size is estimated at 5,500 acres. A State

wn Here's the new excuse for Oregon students: "I did my homework, but Gov. Kate Brown vetoed it."

Last week Brown signed House Bill 2655. This legislation, on which proponents bestowed the egregiously misleading name "Student Assessment Bill of Rights," allows parents to exempt their kids &om standardized testing starting next spring.

And theydon'thave to give any reason for skipping the tests, which are given to students in third

e hQ

through eighth grade, as well as 11th grade.

That's a substantial change from current practice.

Now, students can opt out of standard tests only for religious reasons or because of a disability. Just 5 percent of students qualified for the exemption this year.

Although Brown signed the bill, she devoted much ofher statement on the issue to encouraging parents not to take advantage of the new law.

Indeed, Brown said "educators must engage with parents about the value of assessment (tests) and the potential consequences if parents opt out and student participation diminishes."

The governor is right. Which is why she ought to have vetoed the bill.

There is essentially no dispute that the new Smarter Balanced tests, which prompted House Bill 2655,are more diKcult than previous standardized tests.

The only logical reason to oppose tougher tests is if you believe Oregon students are doing so well now that there's no need to tinker with the system.

But every meaningful measurement of student performance shows this is not the case.

Oregon's on-time high school graduate rate is the second-lowest among states (although on a positive note, Baker High School's on-time graduation rate in 2014 was 83 percent, more than 10 percentage points above the Oregon average).

A recent study of 100,000 Oregon high school graduates found that 75 percent of those who attended community college had to take non-credit remedial courses, most oken in math.

Yet the Legislature's, and Brown's, response to this dismal situation was to make it easier for students to avoid tests that would help identify their academic weaknesses.

That's akin to giving high school students an extra year to earn a diploma so as to inHate Oregon's bottom-of-the-barrel on-time graduation rate.

We're not suggesting that any standardized test is a panacea to the state's education problems.

But tests do matter.

By enabling parents to excuse their children from diKcult tests, the Legislature and the governor are hardly helping students prepare for college, where professors tend to place considerable importance on final exams. Nor have our elected oKcials, by legalizing complacency, done any favors to students who plan to enter the workforce, where employers have little tolerance for people who have been encouraged, when confronted with a diKcult task, to look for ways to avoid it rather than to do it well.

o emisses e mar, art The Vatican's new papal encyclical on the environment is a highly political discussion of the theology of the environment.

Pope Francis mixes heartfelt concern for ecology with an often limited or confused understanding of the problem of pollution and the meaning of markets. Despite his commitment to environmental values, the pope acknowledgesthat"thisrediscovery ofnature can neverbe atthe costofthefreedom and responsibility of human beings."

Nevertheless, humanity's obligation for the environment is complex and the pope discusses ecological values in the context of economic development and care for the poor.

Unfortunately, the document's policy prescriptions sound like they were written by an advocate. The resulting factual and philosophical shortcomings undercut the larger and more profound theological discussion.

For instance, the encyclical complains much of capitalism as well as property rights, which, in the pope's view, allow selfish individuals to actagainstthe publicinterest.Yet capitalismprovides theresources and technology to improve environmental protection. Indeed, the Holy Father acknowledges that"science and technology are wonderful products of a God-given human creativity."

M arket pri ces operate as signals.

The encyclical, "Laudato Si," complains that disproportionate consumption steals from "future generations."

Yet ris ing resource pricesencourage peopleto use less,producers tofind more, manufacturers to operate more eSciently and entrepreneurs to create substitutes. Claims that humanity was running out of resources and destroying the ecology go back centuries and so far have been proved wrong.

Markets also compare the costs and benefits of different means to achieve a common end. In fact, markets and property rights are the most important

DOUG BANDOW means to provide people with what the pontifF calls "a dignified life through work." However, jobs are not created, like the Earth, "ex nihilio." The more regulatory dictates and higher energy prices, the fewer the jobs and lower the salaries.

The popeasserts the "socialpurpose of allforms ofprivate property."

Property rights may not be absolute, but the legal right to land is most important for those who lack wealth and influence. Property rights also create incentives for environmental stewardship. Ownership vests both costs and benefits with a sole decision-maker who can be held responsible.

Most environmental problems occur because of what economists call externalities — costs and benefits that fall on others. Without an appropriate legal regime, industry can spew emissions far and wide. The real environmental issue is over where to draw the line, which requires balancing complex interests: prosperity,liberty,ecology.

The encyclical lacks much sense of the fl awed nature ofgovernment. The pope is disappointed that environmentalefforts"have proved ineffective,not only because of powerful opposition but also because ofa m ore general lack of interest." However, public choice economistsdiagnosed thisproblem decadesago:concentrated benefits, diffusecosts.

"Laudato Si" also argues for redefining progress. The pontifF argues that it is not suScient to care for nature while enjoying financial profits, or practicing"preservation ofthe environment with progress." Without evidence the encyclical contends that this will "simply delay the inevitable disaster."

However, past doomsayers consistently have been proved wrong.

The Holy Father should encourage people to ask, "How much is enough?"

But it is important that those living in comfort in the industrialized West not try to answer for those living in the impoverished Third World.

The Vatican's comparative advantage is not legislation. At one point the encyclical asserts the importance of education on turning off"unnecessary lights." The discussion of climate change is partisan, even though the encyclical notes the Church "knows that honest debate must be encouraged among experts, while respecting divergent views."

In contrast, the pope truly is acting as spiri tual leader when he advocates a personal, social, and spiritual transformation in how people relate to the environment.His proposed "ecological conversion" should spark much discussion, since his application of basic Christian principles is plausible, if not necessarily convincing.

Moreover, Francis wants to change behavior. He contends: "If we feel intimately united with all that exists, then sobriety and care will well up spontaneously." It is committed individuals who form the "countless array of organizations" advocating on behalfof the environment, cited by"Laudato Si," and whosereformed buying behavior can change "the way businesses operate."

The Vatican is ill-equipped to assess environmental problems and develop policy solutions. The pontiA"s duty is much more fundamental. Hopefully "Laudato Si," despite its practical shortcomings, will advance the larger and more important theological mission.

Both games lasted just five innings.

Friday, the Diamondbacks lost 2-0 to Bishop Kelly 1 beforestopping Madras 9-2.

It felt like England against the world in this World Cup quarterfmal.

Taylor and Bronze scored in the shocking first 14 minutes, and England eliminated Canada from its home World Cup with a 2-1 victory Saturday.

NORTHWEST LEAGUE

EDMONTON, Alberta iAPl — Mana Iwabuchi scored during a scramble in front in the 87th minute and defending champion Japan beat Australia 1-0 on Saturday in the Women's World Cup quarterfinals.

The goal came after Japan spent much of the second half generating a majority of the pressure in the Australian end.

Aya Miyama's corner kick from the left corner was blocked in the penalty area, but the ball bounced directly to Azusa Iwashimizu, who got off a hard shot at the net.

The shot was blocked by goalkeeper Lydia Williams, and the ball squirted to left, where Iwabuchi kicked it into the open side. Iwabuchi had fresh legs after subbing in at the 72nd minute in place of Shinobu Ohno.

OTTAWA, Ontario — Carli Lloyd scored on a header in the 51st minute, and the United States beat China 1-0 Friday night to reach a semifinal against Germany at the Women's World Cup. Hope Solo had her fourth straight shutout for the second-ranked United States,

PHILADELPHIA iAPlRyne Sandberg left on his terms.

An emotional Sandberg resigned as Phillies manager on Friday in his third season as Philadelphia struggles with the worst record in the major leagues.

"In a lot of ways, I'm old school, and I'm very much dissatisfied with the record and not pleased at all with that," Sandberg said."I think that goes hand in hand with being a manager. So it's been a difficult thing to swallow, but I have thought about it for some time, and we've come to this day. The accumulation of losses was something that I take responsibility for and something that really took a toll on me."

The Phillies lost 5-2 to Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals in their first game without Sandberg. Scherzer retiredthefirst16 batters beforeFreddy Galvisdoubled on a 1-1 pitch to the rightfield wall.

Sandberg quits with a 119159 career record over parts ofthreeseasons leading Philadelphia. His only full season was in 2014, when the Phillies finished with a 73-89 record. He's 53-53 in parts of two seasons with Pittsburgh in 2005 and Cincinnati in

2007.

DORY'S DIARY

No Bardecue Is Complete Without Coleslaw

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Grateful to get around onw eels I still have my wheels and I'm so grateful for them.

They aren't much, attached as they are toa 1986 chassisthathasseen better days, but they go round and round and take me where I want to go. So convenient against my days of walking everywherenow thatI'm aging.

One year I had taken a month off from driving and experienced what it is like to be dependent on everyone else to escortme wherever Ineeded to be.

Whether to pay bills, check the post office for mail, see the bank for cash, shop,getgroceries,attend church or social functions, or just the pleasure of eating out, I couldn't go unless someone took me.

When I got behind the wheel again and drove myself around town, it was an experience in treedom. It was almost heady to go where I wanted to go without anyone else's inconvenience or permission.

It made me think of others who facethissame plight forone reason or another. The cause of giving up driving is not so important as the effect it has on one's life.

It makes a complete change in how you do or don't do things.

You must plan ahead for one thing.

You don't just grab your wrap and purse or wallet as the case may be, and fling yourself out the door with keys in hand, tree as a bird.

First you must decide how badly or necessary you need to be out and about.

Then you need to build up enough courage to request a ride trom someone the least inconvenienced who might be going the same way at the same time.

When that fails, you must tell someone who isn't working, overloaded with family duties, or busy with other things, to inconvenience themselves and deliver you on your rounds.

Sure, you can call a taxi if you have funds. You can catch a trolley as it goes by somewhere down the street if you can walk to meet it, or you can live in a retirement center where necessary ridesare provided. But,there are still those who prefer to live in their own homes, a most important contribution to happiness. Or, as a lastresort, you can go stand along the curb with your thumb out, pointed in the direction you wish to go.

But, what if your legs hurt and standing for a length of time isn't possible, or your cane isn't conducive for anything but a private car? Hopefully, a fiiendly ride with whom to visit and m ake various stop-and-go tripsallon the same outing is most desired.

How many folks have said,"Call me if you need something."?

I have done it.

How much pride do you have to swallow in order to make that call?

Sometimes its easier to give up the need, the outing, just to appear independent.

It is my opinion that anyone who drives should go through the "can't drive" experience in order to have a full appreciation for what it entails.

Not just to your own inconvenience but to your personal sense of worth and abilities.

A month of not driving isn't necessary. Take a week. Take a day. Take a moment to think how your life would be compromised.

I have my wheels, and I'm grateful.

How long will it last? I know not.

Maybe a day, a week, a month, a year.

As you age, nothing is for certain.

Whatever I am granted, I will feel honored.

But, for those who answered my needs that year, they are blessed, indeed.

This week, in honor of Independence Day and barbecues everywhere, I am sharing a few coleslaw recipes with you.

Coleslaw is a dish that has been served at every barbecue I have ever been to and is asAmerican as apple pie.

After a bit of research, howh ever, I found that there are many versions of coleslaw being served all around / g .@ the world.

In Germany the tradition is to marinate cabbageinvinegar

perfect for all guests. I loved both of the Asian recipes, but definitely appreciate the fire in the Fiery Asian Slaw, it certainly helps that I love spicy foods. The Tequila slaw was fun and had a great flavor, it was refreshing and perfect for those hot summer days. I really enjoyed all the recipes that I tested and I think I will incorporate some type of slaw with our summer cookouts.

I wish you all a safe and sane Fourth of July! As always I would love to hear what you are putting on the barbecue.

Classic Creamy Coleslaw 1Tablespoon Dijon mustard 1Tablespoon cider vinegar 1Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1Tablespoon sugar 1Teaspoon coarse salt 1/2 Cup mayonnaise 1/4 Cup sour cream 2 Cups green cabbage, finely shredded 2 Medium carrots, coarsely grated /2Cup Red cabbage

and add apples. Italy adds

]

sliced peppers and calls it an"Insalata Capricciosa." Sweden often adds carrots, leeks and vinegar. e In the United Kingdom they almost always serve coleslaw with carrots and red onions. In America we traditionally eat coleslaw with mayonnaise, carrots and vinegar, served as a side dish. There is also a red slaw version with Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, ketchup and vinegar in lieu of mayonnaise. lemon juice, sugar, salt, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a small bowl.You can make the dressing two days ahead of time Over the years I have experimented with many different foods, but I have to admit that I have never made coleslaw.

Mding Cslsr — Indnewlleringneeded GRANNY'S GARDEN CRISTINE MARTIN You can easily add a splash of color to your yard without anything to water and keep up with.

Last summer we drove on a road that isn't our usualpath in ourneighborhood and my attention was immediately drawn to a bright lime-green park-type bench in front of a home. There was even a bright colored pillow on it.

I told my husband I was going to paint our bigheavy bench the same shade,and of course I got grumbles. Those grumbles were forgood reason,besidesyellow-green not being his favorite color. He had shelled out $200 for the bench when he took pity on the lack of sales my Idaho brother was having a few years ago with his fancy wrought iron wares.

There are a lot of fancy twisted parts on the bench, but it just had plain stained boards forthe back and seat.Itisvery comfortable, but just never quite found its rightful place around here.

Well now it has, and it's right in the view of my husband as he looks out the bedroom window morning and night as he surveys his North 40. iHe can dream). He grew up on a ranch in Wyoming after all.

Phato by Cristine Martin

A bench and a watering can painted in bright colors add pizazz to a yard — without the need for regular watering.

I haven't heard much vocal grumbling about it since it is a done deal, but they may be under his breath.

I wanted a little spark to add to it so I got a red watering can for interest. I won't bother mentioning how that very same red watering

can, filled with 2 gallons of water, led me to fall recently WITH the bench and land under the peach tree.

No I didn't have to call 9-1-1.

Go for it — add a little color in any way you can.

ROASTED TROUT WITH LIME-DILL BUTTER AND ROASTED POTATOES

Trout with dill sauce high temperature helped to concentrate its flavor and allowed the taste of the dill to permeate the fish. The potatoesareroasted atthe same time — in fact, the trout sits on top of them to allow the flow ofhot air around itmaking this an easy meal to prepare.

It is also an impressive dish to serve, especially if you cook it with the head and tail. Bring it out on a platter with the potatoes and the lime-dill butter sauce, and it looksevery bitasamazing as it tastes.

Oh, lemonade

By Seattle Times staff The Seattle Times

A week like this puts us in the mood for lemonade. Here are three ways to brew up a special batch.

LEMON-MINT COOLER Add torn mint leaves to lemonade, and a splash of club soda. Pop in a mint spear for garnish. (Boozy kicker: Vodka.)

ARNOLD PALMER Mix one part lemonade to one part unsweetened ice tea. Sweeten to taste. (Boozy kicker: Bourbon, for a drink called a Tipsy Palmer.)

BASIL LEMONADE Make a basil simple syrup by boiling one bunch of basil, two cups of sugar and one cup of water for five minutes, then cooling and straining. (Store in fridge.) Mix a cup of lemonade with two to three teaspoons of syrup. (Boozy kicker: Vodka.)

Fresh-squeezed base: 1"/2 cups fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about12 lemons to a cup of sugar), plus eight cups of water. Adjust to taste.)

joinforces tofioht'terrorists'

By Patrick J. McDonnell and Nabih Bulos Los Angeles Times

SUWAYDA, Syria — The commanderofthebesieged air base west of town had a message of defiance for the world.

"This will be the terrorists' graveyard," vowed the Syrian army colonel at the &ont gate of the Thalah military airport, well within mortar range of rebelsthegovernment calls terrorists.

Here, about 70 miles southeast of Damascus, the Syrian military is making a standagainstan opposition onslaught along the nation's strategic southern flank.

Pro-government forces have repelledseveralattacks on the sprawling air installation. The insurgents are seeking to build on advances in neighboring Dara province, where government forces this month were forcedto retreatfiom thelarge Brigade 52 base.

Aftera seriesofrecent setbacks in northern, eastern and southern Syria, progovernment forces say they aredetermined toprotecta vital southern approach to Damascus, seat of power of President Bashar Assad.

The overstretched Syrian military, fighting battles across multiple &ont lines, is relying here on a key ally: members of the Druze sect, an offshoot of Islam that has adherents in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Thousands of men &om the province are said to have signed up to protect Suwayda, the Druze heartland.

Syria is believed to be home to abouthalfofthe estimated 1.5 million Druze worldwide.

''We, the sons of Suwayda, will be martyred on our fiunt doorsbeforeweletthem pass," vowed Maj. WilliamAbu Fakher, apro-governmentmilitiaman who stood guard with otherDruze volunteers,several in their 50s, at a checkpointin the sun-scorched terrain.

Opposition officials have accused Damascus of rousing sectarian fears among the Druze to bolster supportfor the government.

"The regime began to incite sectarian divisions with the Druze," said Bashar Zoubi, head oftheYarmouk Army, a faction of the Southern Front, a Western-backed rebel coalition with supply lines to nearby Jordan.

The large mobilization of Druze fighters helped stall the opposition assault on the air base, Zoubi conceded in

a telephone interview. He calledthe rebelforcesmoderate and nonsectarian.

But interviews with Druze civilians and fighters here confirmthatmany regard therebeladvance asa threat to the Druze's existence. Sunni Islamist groups like the Nusra Front, the al-Qaida atfiliate in Syria, and Islamic State, an al-Qaida offshoot, view the Druze as heretics.

The rebels have acknowledged battlefield coordination with Nusra militants, who are widely viewed as among the most ef fective and best-anned fighters in Syria. Nusra has played a key role in attacking the air base, the army says.

The Southern Front denies that Nusra has been involved.

This month, alann spread among the Dnm population when Nusra fighters killed at least 20 Druzein Qalb Lawzeh, a village in the northwestern province of Idlib.

Otherreports indicate the extremists had forced Dnm villagers in the north to convert to the militants'ultra-fundamentalistversion of Islam.

During the punishing, more than four-year conflict, Dnm religious leaders in Syria have generallyendeavored publicly to steer a middle path, voicing support for peaceful political reform in Syria while rejecting anned rebellion. Butlike other Syrian minority groups, the Dnm are generallyviewed as supporters of the government ofAssad, a member of theAlawite minority sect. The Syrianrebellion amse fium the nation's Sunni majority. Minorities and secular Sunnis are key toAssad's support base.

In Suwayda, Syria, members of the Druze sect reside. Syrian military and members from the Druze sect have joined forces to fend offinsurgents.
