in sales of greenhouse and nursery products.

Greenhouse and nursery products replaced beef cattle as Oregon's top-selling agricultural commodity in 1994.

"It's pleasant news,butnottoobig ofa surprise," said Curtis Martin, a North Powder area rancher and past president of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association.

Martin said cattle prices have mainly trended higher over the past few years. He attributes this to the recovery of the U.S. economy after the Great Recession, the significant decline in the country's cattle herd due largely to extreme drought in Oklahoma and Texas, and a burgeoning exportmarket in Japan and Taiwan. ''We have a very aggressive Oregon Beef Council that pursues international trade," Martin said.

No dollar figure was discussed last night. City Manager Fred C. Dyer, however, an at earlier meeting said the property was available for $4,000.

Baker City Fire ChiefTim Frost has imposed a ban on all open burning, including burn barrels, inside the city limits.

The restriction took effect at 8 a.m. today.

It will remain until cooler weather and rain reduce the risk of wildfires, Frost said.

By the way, you can still barbecue in town with propane or charcoal briquettes. Frost urges backyard chefs to be careful when they dispose of used briquets.

J.R. Streifel, one of the organizers, said1,100 spectators attended.

"It was an awesome crowd," he said, adding that there was standing room only. "We'd love to be able to have more seats."

Ten cars took part in this year's event, which is a fundraiser for the Haines Stampede Rodeo Association. Teams came from as far away as Tigard and Montana.

Participating cars were split at random into two initial heats, with the surviving vehicles coming together for the final event, worth $1,500 to the last car running.

Baker City Councilors will considerthe second reading of an ordinance banning marijuana sales when they meet Tuesday evening.

The meeting will start at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St. The ordinance also dedares an emergency and would take effect immediately upon its adoption by the Council after a third reading, which would happen at a future meeting.

Signed into law last month, HB 3400 allows local jurisdictions in 15 Oregon counties in which 55 percent or more ofthevotersvoted against Measure 91 to ban marijuana related businesses.

"There's less risk to the city.

The legislature has given us this road map to go down and prohibit marijuana," Kee said at that meeting.

Councilors Richard Langrell and Jim Thomas voted against the firstreading and also voted against allowing a second reading during the July meeting.

In other City business, counalors will: • Considerthe approvalof a liquor license application

The Clean Power Plan that President Obama unveiled recently was the sort of ambitious idea we expect from a president who's pondering his legacy rather than his next campaign.

The plan's centerpiece is a call for the U.S. to cut carbon emissions from power plants by 30 percent,

based on 2005 levels, by 2030.

That's not exactly revolutionary — we're nearly halfway to that level now, before the president's plan is even in effect.

But it's certainly a worthwhile goal.

O bama'sproposalhas prompted debates that focus, naturally, on coal and other carbon-based power sources.

But we're disappointed that the president didn't give more attention to the source that might well be the key to significantly trimming America's appetite for carbon-intensive power, without stifling the economy.

Nuclear.

Even though a new nuclear power plant hasn't opened in this country since 1996, nuclear fission generates about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S. More important, America's 100 nuclear reactors produce about 60 percent of our carbon-free power, considerably more than sources such as wind, solar and geothermal.

Five nuclear power plants are under construction, all in the South.

We need many more plants to dramatically curb our need for coal, natural gas and other carbon-emitting fuels, however, and Obama's Clean Power Plan offers only a tepid endorsement of nuclear power.

The current version of the plan is at least better than the draft plan the Obama Administration released last year.

The draR plan would not have allowed states to count nuclear power, from existing plants or from ones under construction aker they open, toward the emissions targets the president is calling for.

The latest version allows states to take credit for power from the new nuclear plants, but not from existing ones — which, of course, are the only ones producing power today.

Worse still, some experts who have studied the president's plan concluded that it will encourage states to hasten the closure of existing nuclear plants, in favor, in some cases, of power plants powered by natural gas.

The result? More carbon in the atmosphere, not less. Which doesn't sound like a plan anyone, including Obama,would endorse.

Ithas been a long time offthe airfor Brian Williams, the disgraced former news anchor who was suspended for six months in February and is scheduled to step up to the mic again soon for NBC's cable stepchild, MSNBC. Besidesenduring a drop in prestigefrom prime-time network anchor to a ratings-challenged news operation — he is taking an undisclosed salary hit, from $10 million a year to "substantially" less, according to reports.

His punishment should have been far worse to match the damage he's done to journalism.

Williams, caught in a lie when he claimed to have been a passenger in a downed helicopter during the Iraq war, broke the first tenet of journalistic ethics by trampling the truth in that claim — and apparently in others that were revealed during a network investigation into his 10 years as the managing editor of"NBC Nightly News."

Just as the notion of"First do no harm" is identified as the primary ethical mantra of medicine ieven though thoseprecise words do notappearin the Hippocratic Oath), the first admonition of the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics is, "Seek truth and reportit."Forthe m ostpart,journalists who have violated this code in the modernreporting era have paid dearly.

A prime example is found in the first film thatI show studentsinmymedia ethics course every semester."Shattered Glass" depicts the real-life story of Stephen Glass. He was a rising star at The New Republic magazine when it w as discovered, in thelate 1990s,that he hadbeen fabricating storiesfor the m agazine during athree-year period.

He made up quotes, created sources and invented situations for more than half of the stories he had published in the magazine and elsewhere.

Glass was summarily dismissed from

STEVE HALLOCK The New Republic and went on to fictionalize his own career in a novel. After earning a law degree, he is trying to create a career as an attorney. How well he will do remains to be seen. Popular opinion aside, the legal industry also appreciates integrity.

About five years after Glass, reporter Jayson Blair was forced to resign from The New York Times. Editors discovered that, in numerous articles, Blair had fabricated or plagiarized — an ethical violation that accompanies fabrication near the top of the list of journalistic nonos. This incident also took down Howell Raines, the Times' executive editor.

Given their respective publications, the Glass and Blair reportage included some major hard-news pieces, from political conventions and profiles iGlassl to sniper terrorism and Iraqi military prisoner rescues iBlairl. Their stories could draw national attention, but that's almost beside the point when it comes to their transgressions. As I tell my students, the small newspapers and broadcast and Internet outlets where they will start their careers rely just as much on truth in reporting and credibility as the major media organizations should.

It isn't always news that gets people in trouble. A feature story did in The Washington Post's Janet Cook in 1980.

She delivered a Pulitzer Prize-winning story about an 8-year-old heroin addict named Jimmy. Her story described in vivid detail the boy's home and neighborhood, and how he was injected with the drug.Itwasa compel ling pieceof writing, but not of reporting, because it was all made up. The transgression cost Cook her job, the Post its Pulitzer, and the newspaper — and the profession-

a credibility battering.

Williams is now among that infamous lineup, and yet all he suffers is indignity and a pay cut. He comes back as a newscaster for MSNBC as part of an attempt to revivethatcable outlet'sratings.The ideaisto beefup the news coverage, supplanting the opinion-driven daytime fare.

You have towonder,though, about the strategy that puts the face of a known fabricator — that's the nice word for liar — on such an effort.

But more than that, in light ofhow respected news organizations such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic and others dealt quickly and harshly with their fabricatorsand plagiarists,you have to question the wisdom of keeping Williams on the payroll at all.

A two-fold message is being communicated by this news medium — and I use thephrase loosely consideringbroadcast news' emphasis on fluff, celebrity and good looks over news and substance and its steadily decreasing attention to national and international reporting.

One is that NBC executives are applyinga different standard oftruth and accuracy to their cable news channel than to NBC News.

The other is that broadcast news executives — letalonereporterswho violate the most precious ethical standard of the business will not be sufficiently punished. That is, despite violating their viewers' trust, they will not be banned from the news operation.

Weep not for Williams in the course of this demotion; rather, cry for the industry that broadcast news pioneer Edward R. Murrow warned long ago was moving in this direction.

Steve Hallock is director of graduate studies for the School of Communication at Point Park University in Pittsburgh. He wrote this for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: The U.S. Forest Service may have more than $314 million in a backlog of trail maintenance. The Government Accountability Office says the agency is able to keep only about a quarter of its trails up to its standards.

Some members of Congress, including U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, are giving the Forest Service a needed nudge to get the work done.

The National Forest Systems Trails Stewardship Act would require that a plan be

put in place within two years to significantly increasethe role ofvolunteers and partners in trail maintenance. It would require that the agency look at using fire crews for the work. And it allows a pilot program for outfitting or guide companies that have permitstooperate on forestland to work off some of their fees with trail work.

The Forest Serviceisnotopposed to the ideas. It already uses volunteers. The Deschutes, Ochoco and Wallowa-Whitman national forests work with a number of organizations. The Deschutes gets about 70

percent of its trail work done by volunteers.

But the Forest Service has concerns about the bill. Robert Bonnie, an undersecretary for the Department of Agriculture, testified recentlyabout it.He said there are worries about liability, oversight, injuries, training and tools for the workers. Assigning fire crews totrailwork could also be problematic, he said,because they need to be able to be shifted quickly to areas with immediate ire danger and may be doing other work for f the Forest Service. Bonnie said the pilot program for permit holders could help, but it

would mean a reduction in fees available to pay for maintenance by Forest Service staff.

Those all sound like problems that can be solved. They are not problems that should derail this bill.

Bonnie said the agency wants to work with Congress to fine tune language of the bill. And that's encouraging. The deferred maintenance can mean erosion and other damage to the national forests, diminished trail use and increased maintenance costs in the future. The bill should pass.

Most baseball fans watching ESPN's "Sportscenter" Thursday evening or Friday morning probably saw Jacoby Ellsbury's home run lift the New York Yankees to a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.

What most watchers probably didn't notice was who caught Ellsbury's homer in the upper deck of the rightfield stands at the famous

$20.

YMCA campers should register at the Y or on Aug. 17.

Camp begins at 5:30 p.m. and ends at 7 p.m. Athletes should arrive at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 17 to pick up equipment.

Hot-hitting Cruz leads Mariners to win SEATTLE iAPl — For all the success Nelson Cruz has enjoyed during his career, the Seattle slugger can't ever remember a streak like this.

Cruz hit his 33rd home run and Felix Hernandez earned his 14th win Sunday, leading the Mariners over the Texas Rangers 4-2.

Cruz tied Angels star Mike Trout for most homers in the majors this season. Hernandez i14-6l is tied for the most wins in the big leagues.

"I'm glad he's on our side," King Felix said.

Cruz extended his hitting streak to 19 games, tying a career best, with his solo shot ofF Colby Lewis i12-5l in the sixth.

Cruz is batting .422 with 11 home runs, six doubles and 15 RBIs during the streak.

The 35-year-old Cruz ranks among the AL leaders in

School.

What made the scene Thursday evening so interesting is that the person who caught Ellsbury's home run ball is Todd Ellingson, a 1994 graduate of Baker High School and, like Ellsbury, an OSU alumnus.

This is how Ellingson, the son of Rob and Dianne Ellingson of Baker City, alerted friends and family on social media Fridaymorning: ''Yes I was at the Yankee game last night. YesI wasin the right field upper deck. Yes I caught the go-ahead HR off fellow Oregonian and Oregon State alum Jacoby Ellsbury.

Yes it was barehanded. Yes...it was awesome."

Ellingson, an emergency room physician who lives in Sherwood southwest of Portland, was in New York City with friends attending another friend's birthday party. ''We decided to gettickets to the game," Ellingson said Friday in a telephone interview. ''Afier all, it was the Yankees and Boston."

Ducks'RBIyner tomissseason Eugene RegisterGuard

EUGENE — Oregon's stable of running backs won't be quite as full when fall camp begins today.

Thomas Tyner is expected to miss the 2015 season after undergoing shoulder surgery Friday, according to a Comcast Sportsnet Northwest report. An Oregon spokesman said the program won't have any comment on Tyner's situation until today.

The Ducks still have returning starter Royce

Freeman, a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, who ran for 1,365 yards and 18 touchdowns last season as a true freshman.

But it was Tyner, the former five-star recruit fiom Aloha High near Portland, who came on strong during the College Football Playoff with a combined 186 yards and two touchdowns against Florida State and Ohio State.

The versatile Byron Marshall, the team's leading rusher in 2013 and leadingreceiver in 2014, is entering his senior season.

Eleven contestants vied for the $1,500 grand prize during the Haines Stampede Rodeo Association Demolition Derby Saturday night in Baker City. After two heats, nine cars returned for the championship round. The bumble bee car No. 86, driven by MattWatkins of Baker City, barely survived crash after crash to claim the win. Second place and $500 went to Jeff Martin while third place and $200 was split between drivers Steve Patterson and lrene Hills. Other entertainment included the Motorcycle Freestyle Show and barrel racing. The Bee car was built by the association, auctioned off Saturday night for $700 and then adequately demolished before a standing-room only crowd.

Besides cattle and nursery products, two other commodities surpassed $500 million in sales last year:

• Hay, $703 million • Milk, $656 million Beefcattlehave topped Baker County's list of farm and ranch products for many years, and usually by a considerable margin.

In 2013,gross salesfrom the county's herds were $62.1 million — a record high.

Baker County's runner-up crop,in value,wa spotatoes, with gross sales of $12.2 million 2013 Baker County ranked fourth among Oregon's 36 counties in beef cattle sales in 2013, trailing Malheur

i$135 million), Harney i$68.4 million) and Morrow i$65.6 million).

County statistics are not availablefor 2014,said Dave Losh, statistician at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service Oregon state office.

Oregon State University, which used to compile county-level data through its Oregon Agriculture Information Network, had to curtail that work due to budget cuts, Losh said.

It's possible, though, Losh said,toestimate Baker County's 2014 cattle sales based onstatewide sales, which rose by almost 38 percentfrom 2013 to 2014.

Applying that rate to Baker County yields 2014 gross

sales of about $85 million.

DORY'S DIARY

ASumptuousTaKeOnStrawderryPie Anne Cusack/LosAngelesTimes-TNS

Vintage strawberry pie made by pastry chef Roxana Jullapat.

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

When cars were still newfangled A friend has told me that her son would like to have a jaguar.

What came to my mind was the sleek long lines of a crouching black animal ready to spring on its victim, its yellow fangs showing as its lips were pulled back into a snarl.

Now why would he want one of those? immediately came to mind.

Knowing the young man as a city businessman, I discarded the idea.

No, it wouldn't be an animal, so it must a car. A Christmas present idea, perhaps, a graduation or birthday gift, a wedding present?

Since I'm not into cars other than having one in which to ride or drive, to watchfor atintersections,to see one coming up the street and then turning around in front of me to take my planned parking spot in town, or looking at displays in the show windows, I don't know one type of car from another.

Ilearned a lotm ore about cars last fall when my 1986 vehicle finally needed a lot more than just seasonal upkeep. After treating me so kindly all these years, I found that car upkeep can be very expensive and keeps you wondering how to get around while it is in the garage being repaired.

Still, it was far less expensive having parts replaced than in looking for another used car, and a brand-new one was out of the question.

Besides, as my youngest son put it, "Mom, you can still roll your own windows up and down in this one."

Yes, I like the feeling of control over rolling down my own car windows and I'm cautious over the power control out of my own control with the push of a button.

Call me old-fashioned if you like, for that's what I am. I don't mind. It's what I grew up with and not necessarily a change that seems important to my own well-being.

Between my old car and the desire for a new, sleek animal of a car, lies a whole generation.

The thoughtofeven my own car with its limitations brings to my mind the mental picture of the first car in which I ever sat.

Mind you, I didn't say rode in or drove — I said "sat."

You see, as a child, getting around was by walking, rarely by any other way than on horseback, horse and wagon, or rare ride in one of those newfangled noisy things on wheels that were coming to town and being shown off in windows at the car companies downtown. Mostly we used the power of our own legs to get from one place to another. Even when I was in high school there were very few students who drove a car and there was no student parking lot as such. Most families by that time had just one car, the family car for hauling thingsor for shorttripstogether out of town.

Eventually the new cars wore out, were replaced, or were dumped from lack of use.

I was probably around eight years of age when I "sat" in my first car.

Our town was situated along the edge of the hillside, then stretching out into the valley. My cousin's home was constructed just at the bottom of the hill's slope with their acreage property reaching up the hillside to where the dirt road wound its way on up into the hills.

This unused area above their house grew high with early fall weeds on the day my cousins and I went out to play.

Among theweeds we found the body frame of an old car, rusting and open to the weather with no top. Even the isinglass windows hung in tatters.

By Noelle Carter Los Angeles Times

"This time of year, I really like to make things that don't require a lot of oven time. There's so much great fruit around, you don't need to do much to show it off a says pastry chef Roxana Jullapat.

She's just arrived at the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen, a box of strawberries tucked under her arm. The tender berries, from Harry's Berries at the Santa Monica farmers market, are avibrant shade ofred;their fragrance fills the kitchen.

"It's a perfect,easy pie dough.

Ready when you need it," she says, gathering a few simple ingredients to make the dough — flour, salt and sugar — and combining them in a large bowl.

Salt adds flavor, she explains; sugar adds tenderness but also color as the crust bakes.

"The most crucial thing is the butter.

Keep itcold,"Jullapat stressesas shewalks over tothe refiigeratorto retrieve a couple of sticks.

She cuts the butter into small cubes, then tosses them into the bowl, coating each piece.

'This helps to keep the pieces from sticking together as they're worked."

She breaks the butter into the mixture using her fingertips.

Where many recipes call for cutting the butter down to pea-sized pieces, Jullapat likes a mixture of sizes, though nothing too big.

'Your pie dough should never be uniform. There should be an unevenness to it. Don't overwork it."

She then forms a well in the center of the mixture, to which she adds a little ice water, using open hands to mix the dough until a handful clumps together.

Chill the dough — this step is important — at least 30 minutes and up to a couple of days. Or freeze it for up to two weeks.

This way"you can keep ahead on your pie dough," Jullapat says, smiling."See the marbling and striping?" Jullapat asks after the dough is chilled."This indicates the butter was not overworked into the dough. You want to see this."

Every few rolls, Jullapat moves the dough slightly, checking to make sure it doesn't stick.

Once it's thin enough, Jullapat cuts the dough, using an invertedpie tin asa guideand cutting about 1 inch around the outer rim.

To fit the dough in the tin, she rolls the circle over the rolling pin, then unwraps it over the pan, trims the excess and crimps the edges.

"See how quicldy I'm working?

The dough gets soft so quickly."

She'll chill the dough again for an hour before baking the crust.

"The most important thing I'm going to do today: blind baking," explains Jullapat, greasing the dough and lining it with a parchment circle before weighting the shell with dried beans. She bakes the shell until it is golden and done throughout. aWith such great strawberries, simply stem and halve them."

She uses some of the berries to make a quick jam, which she tosseswith the berriesin a large bowl. The gelatin in the jam will holdtheberriestogether.

She gently packs the berries by the handful into the shell.

"Make sure every nook and cranny is filled." Jullapat smiles as she slices into the pie."So, that's it! It's the easiest, quickest pie of the summer."

VINTAGESTRAWBERRY PIE 1 hour, plus chilling time. Serves 8 PIE CRUST 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into "/4-inch cubes "/4 cup ice water, more if needed 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Add the butter cubes and toss them in the flour to coat. Using your fingertips, progressively separate the butter into smaller pieces while tossing them back into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

2. Make a well in the center and drizzle over 4 tablespoons of water.

If too dry, add additional water, a tablespoon at a time. Combine and shape into a ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap with plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. When ready to shape the pie shell, flour a working surface generously and roll the dough with a rolling pin until it's very thin — about "/4 inch thick. Cut a dough circle large enough to fit into a 9-inch pie pan — don't forget to account for an extra half inch of dough to crimp a decorative edge. Lightly coat the pie tin with nonstick spray and lay the dough circle inside the tin. Gather the excess dough around the edges and crimp as desired. Refrigerate the pie shell for at least one hour or up to two days.

4. Set an oven rack to the middle position, and heat the oven to 350 degrees. To pre-bake the pie shell, coat it lightly with nonstick spray, line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or rice to weigh down the dough and prevent it from puffing while in the oven. Bake for 30

minutes, carefully lift the parchment circle to remove the beans and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until it's a deep golden brown. Take out of the oven and set aside to cool completely.

STRAWBERRYPIE 6 cups strawberries, halved 2 tablespoons port wine, creme de cassis or framboise 1"/2 teaspoons gelatin powder Pinch kosher salt 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup sugar 1 vanilla bean 1. While the pie shell is baking, start working on the strawberry sauce. Puree 2 cups of the strawberries in a blender until completely liquefied. Add the port, gelatin powder, salt and cornstarch, and blend for another minute.

2. Put sugar in a mediumsized, heavy-bottomed pot and add about "/2 cup of water just to moisten the sugar. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a pairing knife, scrape out the pulp with the back of the knife, and put the pulp and the pod into the pot. Cook over high heat without stirring until the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it reduce until it resembles a thick syrup. Add the strawberry puree and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes while stirring constantly; the mixture will be thick. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.

3. Gently toss the rest of the strawberries with the cooled strawberry mixture until they're all evenly covered. Add the strawberry filling in the prepared shell so it makes a mound in the middle, packing it lightly with your hand so the strawberries sticktogether.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Deadheading: oundsnas,dutyourflowersneedit • Periodically plucking old blooms from your perennials can help coax new blossoms as well as invigorate the plants for next year

By Liz Douville ForWesCom News Service

Deadheadingis such a cruel-sounding terminology, butit's a technique that is most commonly used to coax prolonged bloom times in perennial flowers.

The necessary process in many cases maintains the health of the plant for next season's bloom.

M ost gardeners willagree thatif we know why we are encouragedto perform ajob, we're more inclined to do the job. That said, here are some reasons for keeping your perennials in good condition.

Leafy plants What to look for: Plants thathave leavesallalong the flower stalks with flowers at theends ofthestalks.

Examples: Salvia, Shasta daisy, yarrow,astilbeand bee balm What to do: These plants require a two-step cutting backprocess.First,cutfaded flowers off to the next good set of flower stalk leaves. In about two or three weeks, leaves on the flower stalks will start to look sickly. When that happens, cut the entire flower stalk down to the base.

Why? Snipping off flowers allows the stalks to remain and provide structure and height to the ganfen. Removing the flower stalks entirely when they look sickly gives energy to lush, green foliage at the bottom of the flower stalks.

Some flowering plants may bloom again in the fall.

Why? Usually these plants do notrebloom. The removal oftheflowerstalksstopsseed production, giving the plant more energy. Deadheading

the Stella Doro daylily once a week will prevent seed pod formation and stimulate the plants to produce more flowers.

Regular bloomers What to look for: Plants that bloom almost continuously overalongperiod oftim e.

Examples: Scabiosa, knatia, gaillardia and echinacea What to do: Continuously cut back the dead flowers to the next set of flower buds on the flower stalk or branch ifor a shrub). Feed these perenni-

flower heads offdown to a goodsetofleaves;neverleave a stub.

Why? Removing spent flowersdirectsenergy backinto the plants and gives them a neater, deaner appearance.

Spent perennials

What to look for: Perennials finish blooming then become rangy and are full of spent Foliage-rich flowers flowers.

Examples: Catmint, Crater What to look for: Perennials Lake blue speedwell, lamium that bear their flowers at the and Silver Mound artemesia top oftheplantand havelots ofgood,strong foliage.

What to do: Cut plants back Examples: Foxglove, peren- severely 4y 50 percent or nial phlox, Autumn joy sedum, morel and feed. peony, Russian sage and Why? Cutting back, then feeding, forcestheplantto Sweet William regrow a new crown or foliage, What to do: Cut faded

AUGUST 16

What to look for: Grassy plants in bloom or about to bloom.

Examples: Ornamental grasses What to do: Allow these grasses to stand through most of the winter. Cut them down in late winter or early spring.

Why? Many grasses bloom in late summer and fall. Don't cutofftheattractiveblooms that are emerging and it will continue to be attractive into winter.

All perennials need some sort of maintenance during the season,even iftheprocess m ight create some design problems.

When I cut back the spent catmint flowers, I feel I have denuded that area. It helps the eye adjust to the sparseness by moving over a piece of garden art or adding a container of annuals. It helps if you anticipate there being a gap afte rcutting back some of your perennials. Make notes and plan ahead for next year by planting something near the same area that will bloom later.

DORY Continued from Page 1B Feeling adventurous, we climbed into the iron hulk and turned the wheel this away and that away, pretending that we were speeding down the street.

When that got old, our attention turned to the iron stick coming out of the floor boards between the rotting leather seat. It turned out to be the brake when one of the older cousins worked it, and the car gave a lurch. Of course, half-buried, it couldn't roll down the slope, but the unexpected jerk scared us all.

I imagine we girls gave a fiightened squeal, for immediately my Uncle was hovering over us and shooing us away from the rusty but enticing plaything.

We needed no encouragem ent and fi guredwe were in trouble.

After we had all scrambled out and he had readjusted the brake, my Uncle Oren turned to look at us and said quietly, "Don't play on this.

You might get hurt."

That was all he said, but we never went close to it again and eventually the old car was hauled away.

Eventually, too, the hillside slopeproperty was sold with city streets dividing the hillside slope into blocks and the blocks into lots, and now landscaped homes replace that spot in my memory.

Tissfor turningheirloomtomatoesintotas ishes Add salt, pepper and vinegar to the vegetable mixture and let marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Add basil and puree in a food processor or blender.

Serve slightly chilled, with some colorful cherry tomatoes and a swirl of extra virgin olive oil.

ByAndrea Weigl The News IIr Observer (Raleigh

N.C.)

Craig LeHoullier is in his element among the potted vegetable jungle in his North Raleigh, N.C. driveway.

Each tomato in LeHoullier's hands sparks a story: the Speckled Roman with not just stripes but"tiger stripes," the Dester tomato, which is "oneofthe besttomatoes I've ever eaten," the Viva Lindsey Kentucky Heirloom that was given as a wedding present.

"To think of a tomato variety as a wedding present is really something," LeHoullier says.

LeHoullier, known as the N.C. Tomato Man, has been spreading his heirloom tomatogospelforyears.H e's responsible for naming and saving the Cherokee Purple tomato,asw ellaspromoting other heirloom varieties, such as Mexican Midget and Lillian's Yellow Heirloom, and spearheading an effort to developdozens ofdwarf tomatovarieties.

LeHoullier is also wellknown for his annual Tom atopalooza tomato tasting events, which he organized in the area for a decade.

In the height of tomato season, itseemed appropriatetoseek advice and recipe suggestions from LeHoullier on the best way to use and preserve this summer's tomato bounty.

Late last year, LeHoullier, 59, turned his three decades' worth of gardening and seed-savingexperience into a book, "Epic Tomatoes." The gardening book from Storey Publishing has gone into a second printing. LeHoullier has been traveling the country on a book tour, speaking at a Seed Savers Exchange conference and other gardener gatherings.

Standing in his driveway, holding a basket full of red, purple, pink and green tomatoes, LeHoullier says he hopes his efforts do more than bring in a bountiful crop.

"Igrow apretty cool garden," LeHoullier said."I'd be happyif I can grow some future gardeners.

Craig LeHoullier shares his advice for four easy tomato preparations to enjoy now and later.

In amedium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a simmer. Lower the heat to keep warm.

In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, pepper, celery and carrots and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add farro to the pan and cook, stirring, until the faro is toasted and coated with oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leafandthyme, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of the warm stock, salt,

• Make salsa: Chop 1 green onion 4oth white and green parts) per each diced tomato. Add minced hot chile pepper, salt, pepper, olive oil and sherry vinegar to taste.

Taste and adjust seasonings.

LeHoullier likes to make what he calls "stoplight salsa" using green tomatoes to make a mild salsa with the least amount ofhot peppers, yellow tomatoes with medium heat and red tomatoes with the most heat. He likes to serve the salsa with nacho chips, spooned over grilled or sauteed fish or added to omelets.

Some economists, labor activists and regulators predict that without stronger enforcement, the number of workers getting cheated out of a legal wage is bound to increase in places where wages rise.

Estimates on the size of the problem vary, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics said that in 2014, roughly 1.7 million U.S. workers — two thirds of whom were women — were illegally paid less than the federal minimum of
