Good Day Wish To A Subscriber

By Pat Caldwell For the Baker City Herald

Even as wildfires continue to smolder, Baker County Commission Chairman Bill Harvey is looking toward the future, and he believesthetop goal now should Har v ey be salvaging burned timber.

And time, Harvey said, is already running out.

"Ifwe don'tgetsalvage logging, all that timber out there is going to go to waste," he said.'We only have a twoyear window of opportunity to salvage."

Harvey has in the past arguedthatpublicforestsin Baker County and elsewhere in the West have too many treesand were vulnerable to wildfire.

The events of August, during which more than 150,000 acres burned in Baker County, including thousands ofacresofforest,haveinfuriated Harvey.

A special good day to Herald subscriber Dean Defrees of Sumpter Valley.

The Baker County Sheriff's Office on Sunday afternoon canceled all evacuation notices for the Eagle Complex fire about 20 miles north of Richland. The fire has burned 12,504 acres and is 60 percent contained.

Linda Hewitt of Hillsboro and her husband, Ron, near right, chat about cars and family with Ron's twin brother, Don, who lives in Baker City. The 1947 Chevy Coupe belonged to the Hewitt brothers' grandmother in Richland.Don owns the green Jeep wagon in the background.

By Lisa Britton For the Baker City Herald

Ron Hewitt is all smiles as he tells the story behind his bright blue 1947 Chevy Stylemaster coupe.

This car, he says, has come home.

Hewitt, 70, lives in Hillsboro and drove to Baker City to enter the 25th-annual Memory Cruise.

The Chevy originally belonged to his grandmother, Leona Hewitt, who lived in Richland and bought the car in 1950 in Baker.

"She drove from Richland to Baker every week for groceries," Ron says.

Her husband, Israel, never had a driver's license, so Leona was always behind the wheel.

Ron Hewitt remembers riding in this car with his siblings when he was young.

He lived in Richland until third grade r when his family moved to Baker. They moved to La Grande after sixth grade.

"But Baker's my home," he said. 'l His father, Jim Hewitt, inherited the car from his mother, and then gave it to Ron in 1975.

"Itsatin m y garage for 37 yearsbefore S. John Collins/ Baker City Herald I got to it," Ron says."I wasn't about to get Ron and Linda Hewitt say they plan to bring "Leona," their Chevy rid of it.

By Lisa Britton For the Baker City Herald

Boise's contemporary Christian radio station 91.9 FM KTSY is sponsoring a free concert for Baker City Thursday, Sept. 3, with three bands, including headliner Ryan Stevenson.

Michelle Yeager, KTSYs morning radio personality, contactedElissa Morrison of Baker City about bringing a concert to town.

Morrison said Yeager's

FREE CONCERT •Thursday, 6:30 p.m.

• Baker Bulldog Memorial Stadium, just west of Baker High School, 2500 E St.

reason was this We just want to love on Baker City.

What can we do to encourage our listeners in Eastern Oregon? Would you be inter-

ested in hosting a concert?"

Morrison thought that was a fine idea, especially with the stress of the recent wildfires.

"Having been on the evacuation list and seeing family and friends deal with their losses,the offerofa concert

by KTSY seems a perfect time to offer compassion, support and encouragement to one another in the midst ofdisaster, "said Mo rrison, who is helping to organize

the concert.

She said a special tribute will be made during the concert to the firefighters for their hard work on the fire lines in an effort to save homes, ranches and communities.

The live, outdoor concert will be at Baker Bulldog Memorial Stadium in Baker City fjust west of the high

school, 2500 E St.).

The cold fiont that blew into Baker County Saturday brought the coolest air in almost three months.

And the cleanest air in almost three weeks.

Although the Pacific storm left most of its rain west of the Cascades, it aided firefighters — at least after the stronger wind gusts subsided — by lowering temperatures and raising humidities.

Sunday's high temperature of 69 degrees at the Baker CityAirport was the lowest in almost three months — since June 3, when the high was 66.

Sunday was also just the second day since Aug. 11 when the daily air quality index was good.

Reg.Sent isays hina'seconomic woesmatter,eveninsaker oun

By Pat Caldwell For the Baker City Herald

There was a steady diet of good news Wednesday when members of the Oregon House and Senate convened in Salem to hear a briefing on the state economy.

The fact the state's income tax rebate — dubbed the ''kicker" — will be launched and send more than $400 million back to taxpayers headlined the good news portion of the session.

Yet there was no hiding the elephant, invisible but its presence tangible, in the room in the form of the recent economic crisis in China.

"There were about three, m aybe four takeaways from today's economic presentation," Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario, said."The first is that Oregon's economy is stable. But there are some very challenging things on the horizon having to do with China."

Today small, seemingly insulated economies in outof-the-way places across the U.S. can no longer exist within splendid isolation.

Instead,economies in places like Malheur or Baker counties are linked in a symbiotic relationship with the rest of the world.

"There is no such thing as a local economy any more," Bentz said.

China might appear to be a verylong way from Campbell Street, but in terms of the commodity market the distance is illusionary.

Bentz pointed out all of Oregon should keep a wary eye on the economic situation in China, and for one very good reason.

"Since China is Oregon's largestexportpartner,we have reason to be more

"Thereis no such thing as a local economyanymore Sin.ceChinais Oregon's largest export partner, we have reason to be more concerned than any other state becausefothe damage a slowing economy could do to our economy."

— Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontano

concerned than any other statebecause ofthe damage a slowing economy in China could do to our economy.

Now, that hasn't happened yet, but it might," he said.

Oregon exports a wide array of products — from computers to logs — to China on a regular basis.

And China is a big player in Oregon commodities.

Since 2009, China secured $3.4 billion in commodities from Oregon. China boasts the world' ssecond-largest economy and featured double-digit growth in the pastdecade.Fora long tim e, investing in China's economy and betting on its strong desireforexportgoods — from states like Oregon — seemed to be an easy wager to make.

Yet China's economy has started to slow. A slump in China's industrial output and in construction translatesinto lessdemand across the globe for key minerals and other elements. The perceiveddeceleration of one of theworld'sbigger economic engines ignited uncertainty across the globe and triggered panic in trading markets.

The U.S. Dow Jones industrial average recorded losses for more than five days until a spectacular rally — where the industrial average climbed 600 points — brought relief Wednesday.

Thursday, global markets appeared to be stabilizing,

mainly on the strength of reports the American economy grew by more than 3 percent during the last quarter.

Good tidings in the U.S. economy doesappear tooffer a counterbalance to the dismal news out of China. Consumer confidence appears to be strong in the American economy and home sales recently showed gains.

Wednesday's meeting in Salem showed that Oregon's economy also appears to be solid, Bentz said.

"Oregon's manufacturing is going up significantly and robustly. Our manufacturing businesses are doing very well," he said.

Yet economic woes in China can't be ignored, he sard.

"Demand from China is falling," Bentz said.

The reduction in demand is not a curious factoid but a realissuethataffectsthe small towns in his legislative district, he said.

"I think the average Joe in Malheur County, for example, is interested in the priceofalfalfa and the price of onions and the price of apples. And those prices are a direct consequence of what is being imported by China.

So if the economy in China begins to falter, and it is, then people there are going to buy fewer apples and less onions," he said.

All of Oregon will face some type of impact if the

Chinese economy tanks, he sald.

"There is no county in my district that is immune from this," Bentz said."The reason is your export market for beef or onions is hugely important in any commoditybased system."

Local agriculturists study economic events in other portions of the world, he said, because every market is linked.

"Of course they pay attention. If they don't they risk losing their market. It ispretty important stuff,"he sald.

One indicator of economic health locally is the unemployment rate, and the latest figures from the Oregon Employment Department present a mixed bag, though the overarching theme appearstobe thatthejobless rate is in decline.

For example, the unemployment rate for Baker County dropped from 7.8 percent in July of 2014 to 7.0 percent this July.

Yet, on the other side of the coin, the unemployment rate between June and July of this year climbed.

The unemploymentrate for Baker County in June stoodat6.4 percent but jumped to 7.0 percent in July.

The month-to-month boost, however, can be traced to one key factor, said Tony Wendel, a workforce analyst for the Employment Department.

"Teachers are not working iin the summer months)," he said."That decreases the number of employed people.

As far as the rate going up, the iunemploymentl rate did increase from June to July which is not untypical for the summer months."

Improving fire containment means that the 21 residential structures and 30 minor structures in the Eagle Complex area are in much less peril than they have been since the fires started two weeks ago.

restriclions

The Oregon Department of Forestry iODFl on Saturday banned off-road vehicle travel and chainsaw use on private, state and tribal lands in Baker, Union, Wallowa, Umatilla and parts of Malheur, Morrow and Grant counties.

These restrictions were added to the existing bans on campfires and all other open burning on lands protected by the Forestry Department in its Northeast District.

Also prohibited are mowing dried grass with power equipment, and metal cutting, grinding or welding.

The two federal agencies that manage much of the public land in the region — the Forest Service and BLM — continue to enforce similarly stringent fire restrictions, including bans on all open burning, including campfires.

"ODF has a minimum level of restrictions, but private landowners can set their own more slringentrestrictionsfor their lands," Mitch Williams, actingunitforester,said in a press release.sWe're keeping an eye on the conditions, and will adjust our restrictions when we can, but for right now, this is the best way for us to limit human-caused fires."

The good news is that Baker City's water supply seems to have stabilized, and residents and businesses have curtailed their consumption during this summer of drought.

The bad news is that we need to keep conserving.

And probably for at least a couple more months.

Neither September nor October is likely to replenish the sluggishly flowing streams in the city's watershed. September on average is the second-driest month here, and October the fourth-driest.

Fortunately, given the typical fall temperatures in Baker City, our thirst tends to drop substantially as the equinox approaches even if the skies remain mostly sunny.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Oregon's kicker law is going to kick this year for the first time since 2007. The average kicker payout will be $244.

The kicker law is one of a kind in the nation. If the state gets more than 2 percent in revenue than it planned in a two-year budget cycle, the surplus heads back to voters.

We like the kicker, but it could use a couple tweaks.

The kicker is one way Oregonians put a lid on state spending. If lawmakers would get more money than they expected, they would almost certainly find a way to spend it. With the kicker, it goes back to Oregonians.

The reason Oregon's kicker is not copied in other states might be that it is also something of a mess.

Itcreatesa diffi cultguessing game forstate offi cialsas they estimate state revenues. Budgeting state revenues is tricky enough one year in advance. It's trickier over two years.

And then there's the way the kicker works. It kicks all the surplus back, not just the money over the 2 percent.

The state used to send voters a kicker check. That changed in 2011 when the Legislature shifted it to a tax credit. So don't expect a check in the mail anytime soon.

Expect some help on your taxes.

We can't see a big push to get rid of the kicker. It seems too popular. But people are constantly looking at changing it. For instance, people have suggested the personal kicker be dedicated to funding education, which is the way the corporate kicker works.

We would rather see the kicker changed so it only kicks back the revenues over the 2 percent threshold. That's the wiggle room in the kicker law. It seems odd to kick back the "surplus" revenue the kicker defines as OK to have.

And as much as it creates a hassle for the state, we prefer the state sending Oregonians a check to having to wait on getting a tax credit. We can't say what most Oregonians would do with their kicker check. But if the state says it has money due to Oregonians, get it out to them quickly and directly, not through a tax credit.

W e applaud peopleforactingresponsibly andhelping the city avoid what could have become a crisis.

Had we continued to use water at the rate we reached in late June, during the first heat wave, the city would have had to bring in about 100 million gallons more than it has.

Much of that water would have come from the two supplementary sources — Goodrich Reservoir and a well.

As it stands, Goodrich still has almost three-quarters of its capacity of 200 million gallons. That's a comforting cushion for the city to fall back on should the watershed production dip over the next couple months.

A lot of people sacrificed a little to make that happen, and we're all better as a result.

rans aren i n o In the digital realm, there are no hard deadlines. Editors can tweak a story and reporters can update it at any moment.

The ability to revise without limit — virtually instantaneously — has, of course, revolutionized journalism. But most publications still haven't figured out a good waytoalertreaderstosubstantive changes and alterations.

Ifthere'san erroroffact,publications may amend the digital text and add a correction, usually at the bottom of the Web page. Editors often put through non-factual changes without bothering to notif y readers atall.Rarely docorrections or clarifications carry any kind of explanation: how the reporter got the wrong vote count for an important bill; why the editor decided that the penultimate paragraph wasn't really necessary.

There's a stunning lack of transparency.

Case in point: a recent New York Times report on Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email server. The original story claimed that two inspectors general had asked the Justice Department "to open a criminal investigation into whether Hillary Rodham Clinton mishandled sensitive government information." Later, the paper changed that line to "a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state."

Catch the difference? The first text implied possible wrongdoing by Clinton herself; the second did not. And that wasn't the only significant change the paper made to the story over the next 48 hours — changes that were not readily apparenttoreadersviewing itatany given moment.

The New York Times first published the story July 23. Editors ultimately decidedtoappend two correction notes to the end of the story, one July 25 and another July 26, after several rounds

ANTHONY DE ROSA of changes. The final correction didn't appear in print until July 26. A further explanationofthe errorsappeared in print July 29.

As thepaper'spubliceditor,M argaret Sullivan, stated in her postmortem on the affair,"you can't put stories like this back in the bottle — they ripple through the entire news system."

That's partly because the onus is on readersto return toan articleforany updates or corrections. Anyone who doesn't check back may blithely share false information on social media, where it may circulate freely. Indeed, a recent study by the American Press Institute found that"false information on Twitter overpowerseffortsto correctitby a ratio of about3to 1."iThatis,there arethree times as many incorrect tweets as correctivetweets on the same subject.)

I don't mean to pick on The New York Times, which is hardly the only publicationto race to reportastory,only to change it later without making a sincereeffortto keep readers up to date.

On Aug. 19, for instance, the Associated Press published a story about the Iran nuclear deal giving the impression that Tehran, rather than the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency, would inspect alleged nuclear work sites. Over the course of the day, however, it deleted many of the most damning details, without explanation.

Errorsare inevitable;lack oftransparency is not. Digital publishing has made it possible for editors not only to scrub or enhance stories as they develop but also to pull back the curtain — to make sure readers see and understand what they've done.

ires ows,s arin rairie i PORTLAND (APlCrews fighting a large, homewrecking wildfire in Grant County caught a break this weekend as cooler weather, lighter winds and even a bit of rain helped them get ahead of the flames.

John Kennedy is the planning operations section chief on the Canyon Creek Complex, which has destroyed more than 40 homes and burned 158 square miles since Aug. 12.

He said the damage is unprecedented.

'This is an historical level of devastation in Baker County. The worst it has ever been," he said.

While exact dollar figures on the damage are unknown, Harvey believes local, state and federal officials should act immediately to salvage as much of the damaged timber as possible.

BEND (APl — Former state Rep. Dennis Richardson says he won't run again for Oregon governor following his lossas the 2014 Republican candidate.

The Bend Bulletin reports 4ttp://bit.ly/licSLIC l that Richardson, a Central Point attorney, lost last year's race to former Gov. John Kitzhaber by 5 percentage points.

Democratic Gov. Kate Brown stepped into the role when Kitzhaber resigned in February. She is widely expected to run next year to complete Kitzhaber's term, but she has not confirmed her plans.

Richardson told The Bulletin in an email late Thursday that he has no intention of running another statewide campaign unless he thinks he can win.

Bend Republican Rep. Knute Buehler ruled out a run last week, though Salem doctor Bud Pierce has announced plans to seek the Republican nomination.

Kennedy says Sunday's change in the weather gave firefighters a chance to "close doors on the fire."

Firefighters were able to connect control lines on the southeast corner of the fire, and Kennedy says the western and southern portionsofthemassive blaze are now mostly in a monitor and patrolstatus.

Overall, the wildfire was about 50 percent contained M onday morning.

Nearly 1,000 people are battling it.

In Central Oregon, firefighters have mostly contained an approximately 200-acre brush fire near Culver that destroyed two vacant homes and several outbuildings Saturday.

The fire began Saturday morningand prompted evacuations at a subdivision and campgrounds.Investigators believethefi re started from briquettes in a campground at Cove Palisades State Park.

"It's just a bad throw," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said."I don't know how you can analyze it any other way. It was a throw that pulled the first baseman offthe bag,and ifit's agood throw we win the ballgame."

Kyle Seager homered for the third straight game and drove in the go-ahead run on a single in the eighth for the Mariners.

no-hits Dodgers

By Beth Harris

AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES — Even after pitching his first career no-hitter, Jake Arrieta wasn't too big to wear his PJs. He threw the second no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 days, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 2-0 victory Sunday night.

Arrieta was lights-out on the mound, striking out a season-high 12. He looked ready for lights out afterward, slipping into one-piece pajamas decorated with moustaches for the overnight flight home.

Fitting, since the 29-year-old right-hander had thought about throwing a no-hitter since he was a kid. His grandfather witnessed one of Nolan Ryan's no-hitters in Texas.

'You see other guys around the league do it and you want to be a part of something like that,"Arrieta said."So it's not only special for me and my family and friends, but for the organization and my teammates. They embraced me after the game, and it was extremely special to see how excited they were for what I was able to do."

Arrieta tossed the sixth no-hitter in the majors this season with the benefit of a close call by official scorer Jerry White. He charged Starlin Castro with a third-inning error when Kike Hernandez reached on a one-hopper hit right at the second baseman, although several players on bothsides believed itshould have been ruled a hit.

OREGON STATE FOOTBALL

BEAVERSOPEN SEASON FRIDAY

CORVALLIS — Among the difficult things about remaking Oregon State's pro-style offense has been the huddle. Or, more specifically, the lack of one.

New offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin has been charged with taking Oregon State's offense out of Mike Riley's era and remaking it for new head coach Gary Andersen.

That means taking the Beavers from apro-styleto a speedy spread.

And that's where the no-huddle comes in.

'They used to get in the huddle and they were able to terminologize, 'This is the play and go,' where as now we send in the personnel and we're lining up at the line of scrimmage," Baldwin said."It took them a long time get used to saying, 'OK, we've got to get in there in a hurry, we've got to go,' without the quarterback saying'power-strong-right' or whatever it may be."

Baldwin comes to the Beavers from Colorado State, where he was

the offensive coordinator forthree years. Corvallis is the latest stop for the experienced coach, who worked under Andersen at Utah State from 2009-11.

He was among the new stafF hires for Andersen, who took over at Oregon State in December after Riley surprisingly stepped down totake the topjob atNebraska.

Andersen had spent the past two seasons at Wisconsin.

One of Baldwin's biggest challenges in his first season at Oregon State will be at quarterback. Sean Mannion, last year's record-setting passer for the Beavers, has graduated and moved on to the St. Louis

win said."In our second game we're goingtogoin frontof110-114,000 people.

That' sgreatexperience for these two young men. As we grow as an offense and both have played, I'll feel confident that the second guy can come in and he won't be rattled at all."

Collins, who enrolled at Oregon State early, in considered a dualthreat QB. He passed for 1,013 yards and 12 touchdowns while running for 988 yards and 17 scores as a high school senior in San Diego.

McMaryion, who was on the scout team last year, has impressed coaches with his work ethic. He's also got a strong arm, and threw for more than 500 yards in a single game during high school.

"It's our responsibility as coaches not to make it too complex on a young quarterback, where he has so many things to process that he can't show his athletic ability," Baldwin said.'We put in a package and now as we game-plan we'll try to limit it to what the quarterback does well

Rams.

None of the players vying to replace Mannion has any experience in a live college game. Fall camp startedas a three-way battle between true freshman Seth Collins and redshirt freshmen Nick Mitchell and Marcus McMaryion.

Last week, Andersen announced that for the time being, the Beavers would play both Collins and M cMaryion.

The Beavers open the season Friday at home against Weber State before heading to Michigan for a game at the Big House in Week 2.

Baldwin sees the two getting used situationally instead of intermittently per quarter or half.

He also said there'sareason behind the decision of going with a dual-quarterback system: You want to make sure that once a starter is decided on, the other one has some experience if circumstances — like injury — merit a change. ''We're so young there, you could say green behind the ears. No one's ever, ever played in a crowd," Bald-

and understands, and gives us a chance to win the game."

Baldwin has the full support of Andersen. ''What Dave has done with quarterbacks throughout his career, I think, gives our quarterbacks a good opportunity to be successful and they're really good at what they do,"Andersen said.

Oregon State went 5-7 last season under Riley and didn't make the postseason. When Andersen took over, he had only 11 returning seniors.

The makeover at Oregon State isn't solely Baldwin's responsibility, either. The Beavers are also switching up their defense under new defensive coordinator, Kelani Sitake, who held that same job at Utah for the past three seasons.

Baldwin is excited for the next chapterto start.

"I'm excited. I think our kidsevery day there's something new they catch on to," Baldwin said.

"Still, It's a process. But I'm excited.

We'll be ready."

Eatondreaksowndecathlonrecord

By Pat Graham AP Sports Wnter

BEIJING — This was going to hurt.

No way around it for Ashton Eaton.

To get where the American decathlete wanted to go, he had to endure just a little more pain, dig just a little deeper.

So Eaton gritted his teeth and charged ahead, grimacing as he stepped over a low railing and into the stands to wrap his exhausted arms around his wife.

That was about all the strength he had left .Setting a world record takes that much out of you.

With an all-out run in the final event, the 1,500 meters, Eaton finished the two-day event with 9,045 points on

Saturday at the world championships. It was six points better than the mark he set at U.S. Olympic Trials in 2012.

"It's like, Where do you find the inner strength?' I don't know," Eaton said.

"But I think the important thing is to search for it."

The 27-year-old Eaton hasn't completed a full decathlon since capturing the world title in Moscow two years ago.

That was also the last time he ran a

1,500.

But in the 10th and final event, with his Achilles and knee throbbing and the record within reach, he went for it.

Eaton needed to finish in 4 minutes, 18.25 seconds to earn enough points. He

used a faster runner, Larbi Bourrada of Algeria, to pace him around the track.

And with the finish line in sight, Eaton pushed even harder.

He crossed the line, looked at the clock almost in disbelief — 4:17.52. Only, he didn't have the energy to raise his hands. The only thing he could do was drop to the track, where he sprawled across two lanes. The runners finishing up the event carefully avoided stepping on him.

"I didn't think this thing was possible," Eaton said.

It always is whenever Eaton steps onto the track. Especially when he's in this kind of shape.

EUGENE iAPl — Transfer Vernon Adams is listed atop Oregon's depth chart at quarterback heading into the first week of the season.

Adams, an FCS All-American, joined the No. 7 Ducks just two weeks ago after passing the final math class he needed to graduate &om Eastern Washington.

On the depth chart released Friday, Adams was listed above Jeff Lockie, who was Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota's backup last season.

Adams, a two-time Big Sky Conference offensive player of the year, threw for 10,438 yards and 110 touchdowns in threeseasons for the Eagles.

Oregon will host Eastern Washington to open the season Sept. 5.

Eastern men to play at Gonzaga Nov. 7 LA GRANDE — Preseason battles with Gonzaga and Metro State highlight the 2015-16 Eastern Oregon University men's basketball schedule, which was released last week.

The Mountaineers travel to Spokane on Nov. 7 to face the Bulldogs, which went 35-3 last season and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament before being eliminated by the soon-to-be champions, Duke.

EOU will kick off the 2015-16 campaign on Oct. 16-17 against Vancouver Island, a premier program in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association. Last season, the M ariners registered a 20-1record en route to afi rst-place finish in the Pacific West Athletic Association.

EOU will host the 16th annual Quinn Classic on Oct. 30-31, and will face Metro State in the Wendy's Classic Nov. 20. Metro State, an NCAA Division II powerhouse, has reached the Final Four in two of the last three seasons.

North Dakota State to play Oregon in 2020 FARGO, N.D. iAPl — Four-time defending Football Championship Subdivision champion North Dakota State University has lined up a game five years &om now with Football Bowl Subdivision powerhouse Oregon.

The matchup will be Sept. 5, 2020, in Eugene, home of the Ducks. It will be NDSU's first game against a Pac-12 opponent.

Oregon has won four straight bowl games and has appeared in two national title games the past five seasons.

NDSU has won four straight FCS titles.

Eastern cross country team fourth in CCC LA GRANDE — After a stellar 2014 campaign that featured a fourth-place finish at the NAIA National Championships, the Eastern Oregon University men's cross country team was ranked No. 4 in the 2015 Cascade Collegiate Conference iCCCl Coaches' Preseason Poll, the league announced last week.

Mariners send Zunino to Tacoma CHICAGO iAPl — The Seattle Mariners optioned struggling catcher Mike Zunino to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday and called up catcher John Hicks from their top a Bliate.

Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said the team hopes to bring back Zunino to the big league level at some point. He was hitting.174 with 11 home runs and 28 RBIs. 'This is a chance to go down for 10-12 days and take a breatherand maybe regroup a littlebitand getitgoing," McClendon said.

Hicks, who made the trip to Chicago on Friday prior to the Mariners' game against the White Sox, was hitting .245 with six home runs and 35 RBIs in 83 games for Tacoma. The 25-year-old hasn't played in the majors.

Seattle Mariners fire general manager SEATTLE iAPl — A year to the day after praising Jack Zduriencik as he was rewarded with a contract extension, Seattle Mariners President Kevin Mather found himself speaking with ownership this week on all the areas he believed the club was lacking.

It was clear to Mather that Zduriencik's time as Seattle's general manager was at an end and his regret was not making a change sooner.

Zduriencik was fired Friday after seven disappointing seasons where the club failed to end its playoff drought under his watch. Zduriencik came to Seattle before the 2009 season, arriving from Milwaukee as one of the top talent evaluators in baseball and with the task of rebuilding a thin farm system while putting a winning product on the field at the major league level.

Late field goal lifts Seattle past Chargers SAN DIEGO iAPl — Facing a 60-yard field goal attempt on a steamy evening with 16 seconds left and his Seattle Seahawks trailing by two, Steven Hauschka's mindset was to just swing away.

His kick barely cleared the crossbar, lifting the Seattle Seahawks to a 16-15 exhibition victory against the San Diego Chargers on Saturday night.

"I didn't think it was going to get there, honestly," he said."It was into the wind a little bit. I hitit pretty good.

I just didn't know. But it crossed by an inch, so I was

happy."

He missed a 58-yard attempt a few minutes earlier. He alsomade fi eld goalsof40 and 27yards.

Hauschka said he kicked a 65-yarder in practice during training camp. He kicked a 58-yarder last regular season in avictory atCarolina to tie the franchiserecord.

"It just shows his mentality," quarterback Russell Wilson said."After he missed the first one, I told him,'Hey, you'regoing to win thegame.'Sureenough, he did."

Sullliogs likeoneilig family

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

First-year Baker girls soccer coach Kristen Rushton is use to looking after a large family.

She and husband Michael have 10 children. Now, Kristen has added approximately 30 more "children" to the family.

Rushton said she consulted with her whole family applying Ru s hton for the job.

"This past year when the opportunity arose to consider the position I sat down and talked with family — seriously talked with family," Rushton said.

"Havingthree ofmy own girls on the team, this is not just a game. It's family time, fun time.

"I treat each one of my players as one of my own," Rushton said.

"So now instead of 10 kids, I have 40. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, challenging environment for these kidsto excelin soccer."

Rushton grew up in Florida where she played soccer year-round.

"The man who trained me is the No. 1 high school coach in the nation and he's still coaching today," Rushton said.

She played on two championship teams in high school. She then earned a scholarshipto play at Charleston Southern Uni-

versity, a Division I college team at North Charleston, South Carolina.

"Iplayed there for one season, then met and married the love of my life," Rushton said.

I've been involved with soccer just about every year since I was 8 or 9," she said.

"But once I got married I found that pregnancy and the soccer field didn't work real well together."

Even so Rushton found time between children to help as a volunteerfor former Baker coaches Brian Tweit and DeeDee Clarke.

This year's program has a good mixture of older and younger players with "a good group of seniors" and 10 sophomores, Rushton sard. sWe will have a solid block of 12 players on the varsity, and float six or seven other players between varsity and junior varsity."

Sophomore Josie Ash, an all-league selection a year ago,returns to lead the Bulldogs. sWe're really excited to have Josie back," Rushton said."She is such a strong player. We have named her team captain."

Senior Eliza Rushton returnsafter sitting outlast season.

"She played as a freshman and sophomore," Coach Rushton said.

"She's a good leader on the field. Nice and loud."

Rushton said the Bull-

dogsareexcited about the season. sWe have some really m otivated players,"she said. sWe're working a lot on fitness. At this level they know the game. It's my job to let them try things and will help them continue to improve."

Rushton said the team conducted several sWorld Cup" parties during the summer while watching the U.S. women's team earn the

gold medal.

''What better teaching tool than the best players in the world," Rushton said.

"The parties were a good time to ask the girls who they would like to be like."

Rushton said she wants her players to provide a model of the proper way to conduct themselves both on and off the field. sWe want the younger kids in the Y programs to want to stay and watch our girls play," Rushton said.

"Both on and off the field we want our girls to be role models in the community."

Steve Whitehead and Adam Robb are serving as volunteerassistant coaches for the Bulldogs.

Rushton said the team is conducting a fundraiser to try to purchase new goals and practice equipment.

"Anyone who would like to donate, or who would like to help in any way, please contact me," she said.

Rushton can be reached at 801-680-1303.

Powder Valley volleyball coach Marji Lind says her team has developed a mission statement for both on and off the court.

"This team has developed a mission statement that really focuses on not only being a betterplayer,butmore importantly a better teammate, student and community member," Lind said.

So, when the Badgers, who played at the Grant Union Invitational in John Day Saturday, heard that the Grant Union volleyball coach had lost her home and all her family's belongings in the recent fires, they decidedtoraise funds to help support them and present that money to her at the tournament.

"Thisis a team andgroup ofgirls that are living andfollowing their mission statement and as coaches, wecouldn't be PrOuder to be a Part O f thiS PrOgram."

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

A chef friend once told me that hisfavoritefood isa perfect,ripe tomato. It's hard to argue with that. A tomato has it all: a startling amount of flavor packed into a drop-dead

gorgeous package. Soft,

Summertime at our house was one geared to the out-of-doors whether it was workingin the yard, tending the garden, or doing deep-down housecleaning and repair. There was always picnicking, hiking and mountain climbing to be considered, so how can I let this summer go by without mentioning the year 1968 when I actually climbed Strawberry Mountain near Prairie City.

Summer was pretty well over and I had once again successfully, I thought, avoided a mountain-climbing expedition. I reckoned, however, without the sunny skies that beckoned the family on a camping trip over the Labor Day weekend.

It was the last promise of a family outing before thestartofschool,and thelast promise of a family outing mushroomed into fact, and there I was packed in with the tent, groceries, family 4usband George and sons Craig Paul, Terry, and

Randy), and Samoyeddog Kris, headed south into John Day country in Oregon.

Up until the very last moment, I was sure that the weather would return to its rainy self and I could spend the weekend cleaning house, ironing, and thinkmg up a feature for the next week's weekly newspaper, the Eastern Oregon Review where I was employed, but at 10:30 Saturday morning I resigned myself to the fact that I was going camping and trying to avoid a dimb up the nearby mountain.

The tri p fiom La Grande through Baker City, over Dooley Mountain and into Prairie City was pleasant enough, but whenStrawberry Mountain loomed in the distance, I did a doubletake.

The rest of the family was delighted w ithitsforested and shale-covered peak basking in the sunshine high above the surrounding mountains. The summit ofover9,000 feetcaught atmy breath w hile therestofthe travelersassured me it was just an easy walk to the top.

Since I hadn't thought of myself in relation to a mountain goat, I indicated promptly that the summit would do without my presence, but I would walk a ways with them.

The sky had clouded over by the next morning but plans proceeded through breakfast, the packing of our lunch, and the stringing out of five of us along the trail. The little walk I had anticipated would have been accomplished at a fast trotifGeorgeand Ihad tried tokeep up with our sons, but we kept a steady pace behind them while they sprinted ahead and then waited for us at the lake, the falls, a mile-post sign. Although I huffed and puffed, the walk didn't seem tiring and the scenery was beautiful.

The breathing problem fi nally gave way to aching muscles in the calves, then the upper portion and, later, the tightening moved around the front of my legs. But still we climbed up and up, resting briefly along the way.

Lunch by a creek in an open meadow w as a pleasant experience,butIfelt no great desiretostay behind alone to await the return of my family, so I struggled once more to my feet and on we went. Although the climb was ever upward, it was not overly difficult, so there was no excuse to quit yet.

No, you slice it and stick it on top of a hamburger. For all intents and purposes, a tomato isa vegetable.

But I couldn't find the camembert at two stores, so 1. Core the tomatoes, then cut them into wedges about 1"/2 inches I just gave up and used brie. across at the widest point.

Either way, it was wonderful. You can't go wrong with brie.

There appear to be three main reasons why this tomato soup is so Recipefrom "The NewVegetarian Cooking for Everyone," by Deborah stunning. The first, of course, is the fresh tomatoes, and lots of themMadison I used 8 to make 10 cups of soup. The second is the use of a lotof onion and a few cloves, giving unexpected depth as a counterpoint to the GARDEN FRESH TOMATO SOUP brightnessofthe tomatoes.

You don't 8 cupschopped fresh tomatoes, peeled and taste the roux, and the soup does not even seem all that rich. But it seeded,about 8 medium tomatoes tastes so much better than ordinary tomato soup, and I'm guessing 1 large onion or 2 small onions, sliced the difference is the roux.

DORY Continued from Page 1B I had second thoughts on this, though, after we passed through the ghost town of a sunbaked driftwood forest and faced an abrupt rise and a thin line up the mountain indicating the trail we were to follow. My mind said, "stop," but my feet moved onward and up the bank we went with the family still carryingon theirvocalbanterof Getting Mother to the Top. Oxygen becomes a little thinner as you climb higher and legs that have known onlya reporter'sbeatget weaker. We had climbed the bank and moved onto another grassy plateau where I would have liked to stay, but the party spirit began to change into a determined goaland out acrossthe face of the mountain we went, walking on broken bits of shale. We were crossing the fine line I had seen from the highway and above us rosethe jagged cliffsofthe summit.

The reluctant mountain climbermoved across the shale with some uncertainty while the rest of the family scamperedacrosslikechipmunks. When we reached the other side, we were one-fourth of a mile short of our goal, and it was upward on another bed of shale that shifted beneath my feet.

I had begun to consider my actually reaching the top to share the success with the family, but my legs were threatening refusal to put one foot beforetheother.

Standing together on the peak as a family had finally become important and this, coupled with the encouragement of the boys calling from the top and George waiting patiently to make the final ascent together, drove me on.

We moved up the last few feet. There should have been a band playing for the excitement displayed upon my arrival, butthe tangy tasteof mandarin oranges reserved for the summit was triumph enough. From the peak the world lay in miniature, silent in golden light and varying shadows. It was, indeed, a special moment, savored for what it meant to us, shared as a family.

Going up wasn't bad, other than the strain on the physical body and mental trepidation, but it was as nothing compared with the moment of descent. Looking down the shale slopes to tree line and further down into the valley below was a rather frightening experience, knowing a helicopter wouldn't suddenly fly over and remove me from my lofty perch. It was a long, long way down and I had to do it, something I hadn't considered.

Picking my way downward over the loose rocky surface looked difficult to be sure, but I was greatly alarmed when the decision was reached to run directly down the steep sloperather than traverse by way of the narrow path that had brought us to the top.

The two younger boys, Terry and Randy, took the trail on the run,butIstood poised for the downward flight with a strong hand on each side of megripping each ofm y wrists.

I wish I might have viewed the scene from below, for the threeofusglissaded the rocky slope by digging in our heels on the moving shale at each running step. We might have been walking down an
