Sports, 5A VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Carli Lloyd came up big again. Three times. And with it came the Americans' elusive third Women's World Cup title. Lloyd scored a hat trick as the U.S. burst to a four-goal lead in the first 16 minutes, and the Americans overwhelmed defending champion Japan 5-2 Sunday for their record third championship and first since 1999.

BRIEFING

cras A Boise man died in a rollovercrash on Interstate84 near Durkee early Saturday morning.

Bill Fugate, an Oregon State Police spokesman, stated in a press release.

Sunday was the 10th straight dayin which the temperaturetopped 90degrees attheairport. That's the longest such stretch since August 2001. That month there were 13 consecutive days of 90 degrees or hotter, Aug. 5-17. The high hit 100 on two of those days, and 101 on another.

aser i wm S~ 'Su O e OvernOr Speed limits would increase on sections of two Baker County highwaysincluding the local stretch of Interstate 84 — if Gov. Kate Brown signs a bill that both houses of the Legislature passed by wide margins last week. House Bill 3402 would boostthe speed limitfor carson Interstate 84 from 65 mph to 70 mph between The Dalles and the Idaho border. The speed limit for Brown trucks on that 290-mile stretchwould increase from 55 to65. The bill also would increase the speed limit for cars from 55 to 65 on stretches of several two-lane highways

in Eastern and Central Oregon, including Highway 26 between Vale and John Day. That includes the section of Highway 26 through southern Baker County. The speed limit for trucks on Highway 26 would rise from 55 to 60. Rep. Cliff Bentz, the Ontario Republican who represents Baker County, praised the bill. "I hope that this bill, by allowing people to travel more quickly, will bring the eastern and western parts of Oregon closer together," Bentz said.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 6, 1965 Three floats were destroyed at the railroad depot Monday as fire started in one of the floats and spread to the other two before the 11th annual American Legional sponsored Fourth of July parade got underway. The Rainbow Girls won the sweepstakes award for "The Ugly Duckling," a float that was not destroyed in the blaze. The fire began in the Knights of Columbus float, "Old Woman in a Show," and spread to the Jay-C-Ettes float and to the float entered by Pacific Northwest Bell. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 6, 1990 The Help Inc. Senior Services board of directors recently approved a budget for the new fiscal year started July1 that restores programs and services cut lastApril. The budget was prepared by director Ron Justis, who recently resigned, and staff. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 6, 2005 After five months of daily deposits, Baker City's drinking-water savings account is brimming. And city officials will know soon just how liquid those assets really are. In earlyAugust the city is scheduled to start withdrawing some of the160 million gallons of Elkhorn Mountain water it has pumped down its drinking-water well this year, saidTim Collins, the city's public works director. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 7, 2014 Four fire engines quickly doused a fire of unknown origin that could have threatened several homes Saturday morning in the ponderosa pine forest along Pine Creek about10 miles northwest of Baker City. Three engines from the Baker Rural Fire Department and one from the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODFj limited the blaze to one-tenth of an acre, said Steve Meyer, protection supervisor at the ODF's Baker City office. The fire was reported about10:08 a.m.

Lissa Haun, owner of The Ice House, said that although she had been preparing all ofJune for theJuly demand, the combination of the heat and the holiday weekend left her in short supply. "It was a record weekend forgetting outice,"said Haun. sWe delivered nine tons a dayin two days. We didn't run out, but I had to take care of my contract customers first. Everyone elsedid getsome, butIhad to limit the number." Haun said The Ice House not only serves Baker County, but also provides ice to businesses in La Grande, and Sumpter, among others. "If this happens often, I'm going to have to start up my ice machine," Berg said."I'm not going to depend on someone else to make that ice."

"I'm thinking of filling those tubs out there with ice cold water later," Berg said. Indeed, many people were lookingfor creativeways to beat the heat during Satur-

day's parade. The Republican Party handedoutcold bottlesofwater while they marched, Sage Veteran Services distributed popsicles to the crowd, and the Haines Fire Department stole the show with its impressive sprinkler display, which successfully sopped the length of Front Street. Squealing children gingerlyapproached the fi re trucks as they rolled down the street spraying water out of their front bumpers. Men armed with thick firehosespositioned atthe top of the trucks were showering the crowd below, laughing and occasionally directing their hoses skyward.

vaccines, wes 0 The Oregon Legislature hasn't completly failed to address the state's dangerously low childhood vaccination rate. But almost. Our lawmakers' lack of gumption seems especially galling when compared with our neighbors in California. Perhaps it will take a rash of measles cases to rouse our elected officials, as was the case in California. There, lawmakers passed a bill, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law last week, that will forbid parents from exempting their children from vaccinations based on personal beliefs. Unvaccinated kids will be barred from attending public schools in the state. The California law takes effect in 2016. Oregon lawmakers should have done the same thing and joined the two other states, Mississippi and West Virginia, that allow public school students to opt out of vaccinations only if there's a legitimate medical reason. But a bill in Salem that would have done thatSenate Bill 442, sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Steiner, w ho'sa medical doctor — fizzled. Steiner, to her credit, didn't surrender. Not completely anyway. But her replacement bill, Senate Bill 895, likely will do little to boost Oregon's immunization rates.

The bill passed the Senate last week by a 19-10 vote, and the House voted 39-21 to send it to Gov. Kate Brown. The bill would require public schools to disclose how many students have not had specific vaccines. We're troubled that it takes a new law to ensure the public has access to that important information. But that's nothing like our disappointment with the Legislature's capitulation to the vocal, but scientifically bereft, vaccine opponents. California has its share of vaccine foes, too. But they didn't discourage legislators there from making their state the third to recognize, legally, the crucial value of childhood vaccinations. One of the California bill's sponsors, Democratic Rep. Richard Pan of Sacramento, told The Associated Press:"The science is clear. Californians have spoken. The governor and the Legislature have spoken. No more preventable contagions. No more outbreaks. No more deaths. And no more fear." Maybe Sen. Steiner can ask Pan to testify when the Oregon Legislature convenes next year. Our lawmakers apparently won't listen to scientists. Maybe they'll listen to their colleagues from California.

ourt o c The SupremeCourthanded avictory to Americans concerned with unelected bureaucrats driving up energy costs by overturning a costly regulation that lacks any meaningful environmental benefit. With more regulations with similar high costs and meaningless direct benefits, now Congress and the statesmust step up torejectoverzealous regulators — not rely on the courts. The issue the high court considered was the Environmental Protection Agency's Mercury and Air Toxics Standardthatregulates emissions from coal and oil-fired power plants. The Clean Air Act directs the EPA to reduce air pollutants if the agency deems the regulation"appropriate and necessary." The Court ruled that the agencyfailed toconsidercostsin their latest determination. And those costs are substantial. Per the EPA's own calculation, the compliance costs are $9.6 billion annually. Industry projections are much higher and likely more accurate as the EPA grossly underestimated the number of power plants adversely affected. Also per the EPA's calculation, the direct benefits of reducing hazardous air pollutants are miniscule — at most $6 million each year. To put that in perspective, it's the cost-benefit equivalent of renting $1,600 in scubagear tocollectfour quartersat the bottom of the lake. Every year. The difference between heavy-handed regulationsand the scuba diveristhat the affected industries will pass the costson to fam iliesand businesses.

The cumulative result is fewer jobs and a weaker economy — all for naught. Is the Supreme Court ruling too little, too late?Afterall,dozensofcoal-fired powerplantshave closed theirdoors permanently Oaying people off in the process) and othershave installed costly technology because the EPA finalized theregulation in 2012. Even so, the decision is important for a number of reasons. Typically, the courts defer to the judgment and interpretation of the regulatory agency but this time, the courts provided an important check on unelected bureaucrats' power. When the costs are so high and the benefits are so low, those considerations shouldn't be dismissed so readily by a regulator. Furthermore, depending on how the EPA and Washington, D.C. Circuit Courtaddress the regulation,the decision could save the tens of thousands of megawatts of affordable, reliable energy sources that asked the EPA for an extension to comply with the regulation. Ifthere's alesson to belearned for the states and Congress it's that it's time to step up. In the instance of the mercury regulation, the Court reined in an overzealous EPA. However, our elected officials and state governments should not wait on court decisions.

By the end of the summer, the Obama administration will likely finalize climate change regulations on new and existing power plants that will have devastating economic effectsby driving up energy prices ... all for a change in the earth's temperature that is almost too small to measure. These climate change regulations have garneredbipartisan concern atall levels of government due to the threats the Clean Power Plan poses to the economy, quality oflife, reliability of the national power grid and constitutional separation of powers. They will inevitably face legal challenges. When EPA finalizes the Clean Power Plan, the agency will charge the states to develop their own implementation plan to meet the greenhouse gas reduction targets. No matter what path the state chooses, the plan will be costly. Why should the states go down a path similar to the mercury rule — of implementing costly climate plans that destroy jobs and curb economic growth for no direct environmental benefitonly to have a court decision tell the EPA to back ofP. Congress should prohibit any agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissionsand the statesneed to step forwardand rejecttheseregulations entirely, not succumb to the executive branch's coercion.

GUEST EDITORIAL

An assassin treated as ifhe's a hero Editorial from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic attended a ceremony in Belgrade last month to unveil a monument to Gavrilo Princip, the 1914 assassin ofAustriaHungary's crown prince Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie. Nikolic referred to him as a freedom fighter and a hero. Apartfrom serving as another example of some of

the bizarrebehavior that still occurs in the Balkans, the erection ofthe 6-foot bronze statue of the 19-yearold killer can be seen only as evidence that Serbia has given up on being accepted as a member of the European Union. Both Austria and Hungary are EU members and would likely veto Serbia's request for admission on the basis of this misguided tributeto a m urderer. It would be as if some-

one put up statues to U.S. presidential assassins John Wilkes Booth or Lee Harvey Oswald, although the Franz Ferdinand assassination was worse in that it led directly to World War I. That lasted four years and claimed 14 million lives, transforming Europe probably forever. A country that had previouslyerected a statue to Gavrilo Princip is BosniaHerzegovina, which did so last year in its capital,

Sarajevo, where the assassination took place. Both monuments werefi nanced by the Serbian Republic, part of Bosnia-Herzegovina. It, too,isvery interested in being acceptedforaccession to the EU. It, too, doesn't seem tofeelthe need torestrain itself in honoring an assassin as it seeks to m ove forward in a more modern mode with Europe and the world. Balkan ghosts don't seem to go away.

BRIEFING

Baker teamshavemixedsuccessatdistrict By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercttyherald.com

Baker teams met with mixed success during the weekend at the District 3 Little League baseball tournaments at La Grande.

Baker 9-10-year-olds Baker won its opener on Saturday,defeating Harney County 9-3. Gavin Stecher was Baker's starting pitcher, throwing just 50 pitches in three innings. "Gavin threw an outstanding three innings," said Baker coach Kevin Logsdon. "All of our pitchers threw strikes. And when Burns hit the ball our

defense made the plays." Isaiah Jones led a balanced Baker offense with a pair of hits and three RBIs. Logsdon said Dominic Myers and Kaiden Dalke also hit the ball well. "It was a good well-rounded game," Logsdon said."The kids played baseball the way it's sup-

posed to be played."

Saturday's opener. Coach Matt Shirtcliff said Baker led 5-4 after four innings, but then a couple of Baker errors in the fifth inning opened the door for Triangle. Reece Dixon had a home run for Baker. Baker's next game is at 1:30 p.m. today. The opponent is yet to be determined.

Baker didn't have as much luck Sunday against Pendleton, losing

Hermiston, moving to District 3 from District 5, slugged five home runs Saturday to hand Baker a 13-0 defeat. Baker then rebounded Sunday to beat Harney County 14-6.

Baker next plays the Hermiston Americans at 4 p.m. today.

Mason VanArsdall led the Baker offense with a two-run home run. Ethan Jensen added a ground rule double. Defensively, VanArsdall and Jeremiah Simrell turned a double play. "The kidsplayed a lotbettertoday," said Baker coach Mike Skidgel. Baker was scheduled to play Wallowa Valley today, but Wallowa Valley pulled out of the tournament so Baker draws a bye. Skidgel said that if everything goes as planned Baker's next game will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the semifinals.

OREGON BRIEFING Heat ripens Hermiston watermelons early HERMISTON iAPl — This summer's hot weather has been good for the watermelon crop in Hermiston, with farmers harvesting a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. The East Oregonian newspaper says ihttp J/is.gd/ QFexyV l triple-digit temperatures during the day and cool nights in the region help produce sweeter melons. Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center's Phil Hamm says the melons take in heat during the day, which is turned into sugar as a source of energy. At night, the respiration process slows down and all that sugar gets stored. Hamm said nights in Hermiston are cool enough to allow the melons to retain more sugar, giving local fruits their distinctive sweeter flavor. Harvest typically lasts through early October with sales peaking around Labor Day.

Crews make progress on Dayville fire DAYVILLE iAPl — Slightly cooler than expected temperatures and higher humidity have helped firefighters get a better handle on a massive fire burning in Eastern Oregon about 11 miles south of Dayville, fire officials said Sunday. One cabin has burned and other structures on scattered ranches are threatened, fire incident spokesman Brian Ballou said. The blaze had burned nearly 26,000 acres, or about 40 square miles, on the west side of the South Fork John Day River. It was about 10 percent contained. Crews are setting new fire lines and improving ones already in place as they battle the Corner Creek Fire, Ballousaid."It'sgetting more favorable asthe temperature drops and humidity inches up," he said Sunday afternoon. A forest closure has been issued for a part of the Ochoco National Forest. Several roads, trails and campgrounds are also closed. To the west, helicopter and air tankers were slowing thegrowth ofafirethatbroke outSaturday and spread rapidly through forested hills above Big Cliff Dam along Highway 22 about 40 miles west of Salem. The cause of that 70-acre fire west of Detroit Lake is under investigation.

The PerfectBnlteryFinishToASnmmer Picnic

MEG HAWICS

By Kim Ode Star Tnbune (Minneapolis)

July is national parks and recreation month. Some people might dismiss the importanceoftaxpayer dollarsgoing to such things as sports programs, playgrounds and pools, but that attitude can have dire consequences on a community. Sometimes it's hard to see the rippleefFects,butparks and recreation programs really shape a community in more ways than general health and well-being. I believe there is a correlation between a community's economic development and parks and recreation. Here's my reasoning: Businesses don't like to have high employee turnover rates. Employees with families are more likely to want to settle down. Communities that are family fiiendly and have good parks and recreation programs attractthosefamilies.Therefore,a good parks and recreation program can be a strongfactorin attracting businesses with higher wages and benefits.

Picnic desserts are simpler desserts. Humidity keeps us from puffy meringues, and heat denies any lourlesschocolate goo-festsor f sweets best kept chilled until served. There are fewer fiostings and drizzles and fuss. Fruitoften getscenter stage, especially when foods need to withstand a certain amount of jostling until the blanket is spread. Still, even fruit needs a cookie. But not the usual run of crinkledoodle-snapper-c hipper-roosthat gets us through the school year. Summer is for shortbread. The recipe is simplicity itself: flour, sugar and butter in the right proportions. Which means, to be honest, butter, flour and sugar. The "short" means that the amount of flour seems scant compared with most cookies. You want just enough to hold the mixture together. Nor should theflour bring any muscle to the beach party. Shortbread calls for basic all-purpose, and evensome ofthatisreplaced with even finer rice flour for the most delicate texture possible. (Save the whole wheat for the burger buns.) Shortbread dough is barely dough, as well. Small chunks of butter are beaten with the flour and sugar until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pinch it, and it will hold together, but you don't want to mix until it becomes a cohesive

dough. Press it into a pan with the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass. Too much handling will soften the butter and make the shortbread more firm and less tender. We're indebted to"Baking Illustrated," from the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine, for several tips that we found spot-on for success. Among them: Cut a small round fiom the center of the pan of dough. This ensures that the shortbread bakes through before the outer edges become overbaked and dry. We used a Ir/2-inch cookie cutter, but you could also cut out a round with a sharp knife.

(This nugget, baked on a folded piece of aluminum foil for half the usual time, becomes the baker's treat.) Shortbread is distinctive for scored lines meant to ease the final cutting into pieces. The Cook's Illustrated folks found that this isbetterdone after20 minutes of

baking.

There was a huge explosion of TNT, but it wasn't a planned display of fireworks for the pleasure of a waiting crowd of onlookers at a Fourth of July celebration.

The skies weren't filled with sparklers, colorful pinwheels or sprays of light against the darkened sky. Therewere no flagsfl ying,noparades, no picnics, no holiday plans. In fact, it wasn't even July when the explosionreverberated against the surrounding hillsides, shaking buildings and causing damage as well as frightening the unsuspecting populace.

CRISTINE MARTIN It seems we have a fight with weeds or insects or something for everything we grow, but the fight between my husband and the robins over his prize cherries has turned almost comical. No, no, not for him, just to me. He is determined to have those cherries and the robins are determined he won't. He cut off the new growth which he has done before and it didn't hurt the tree. He does this so it is small enough to drape with his expensive netting. He fusses and fixes and ties and secures and thinks he has the upper hand and then yesterday a juvenile robin

got inside somehow. My efforts to get him out were in vain, but when my husbandgothome and thebird fearedforitslifeitsom ehow gotout.Itwas probably so full it could hardly fly. The robins are smart enough also to land on the netting and peck at cherries through

it. That seems to be one drawback ofhaving to prune the tree back so the net will fit. After dashing out the back door to scare robins awayit seems there may be some weakening happening with the Lord of the cherry tree. He proclaimed after one battle to just let the birds have the tree next summer. I told him I was going to put that in writing and postit for him next year. I spend money buying seed to feed the finches we enjoy watching out our dining room window so why not let the robins feast on expensivecherries?Therobinsdon'tseem to realize we paid quite a bit for this Redlac tree that issome specialcross.Itis,however,what adds fuel to my husband's battle over the cherries. At this point it's anyone's guess who or which will win. Reach the author by emeril at CrisjmaMoni.com.

2B —THE OBSERVER a BAKER CITY HERALD

PARKS Continued from Page 1B Icame tothisconclusion severalyears ago when we lived in a community that didn't see value in recreation. When my oldest son was just a couple of weeks old we moved to Eastern Wyoming for my husband's job. The town we lived in is about half the population of La Grande, but similar in that it is the county seat and has a college. Although we became friends with some wonderful people, something was missingand it wasn't just the mountains. There were very few parks, and no form of city-sponsored recreation other than a pool that is open two months out of the year. The county has a recreation department but at the time the calendar on the website hadn't been updated in over three years because, well, there was nothing to update. About this time some concerned citizens were trying to get funding to bring in a YMCA or some sort of recreation center. The community fought back hard making it clear that no form of tax dollars would pay forrecreation.We soon realized itwasn'tthe place for us.

HOME 8 LIVING The same time that we moved, several other families with young children also left. Older people would talk about how years ago it was a good place to raise families but failed to understand why their kids left and never came back. Industry in that area is suffering. I believe it is in part because families aren't attractedtothe area dueofthe lack ofrecreational outlets. Here in Eastern Oregon many cities see value in their parks and recreation programs.Ican guarantee every city isfeeling the squeeze of a tight budget and that the employees are doing a lot with very little. I'm always very impressed and grateful for the parks crews that are quick to maintain playgrounds and paint over vandalism. They work hard to keep our cities beautiful for our families and the many tourists that stop during their travels. As long as we persist with our supportofparksand recreation programs Eastern Oregon will continue to be seen as welcoming and family fiiendly. Meg Hawksisa~ Grandemom.
