Sage grouse decision sossiiIle Tuesday

A special good day to Herald subscriber Robin Morin of Union.

City's burn ban likely to remain until Oct. 1 Baker City Fire Chief Mark John said he expects to lift the city's ban on outdoor burning on Oct. 1. With warmer than average weatherhigh temperatures in the 70s — and little chance of rain in the forecast through Friday, John said he decided to continue the burn ban that's been in effect since early July. "All it takes is about 72 hours for fuels to dry out to be receptive to fire," John said this morning. "We just haven't gotten enough moisture or rain to make a difference. Fire season isn't over yet. It could still get crazy." John said lower nighttime temperatures and higher nighttime humidity levels are a plus, but that it's better to err on the side of caution.

Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett said it's possiblethe federalgovernment will announce Tuesday whether it will list the sage grouse as threatened or endangered. That long-awaited decision could have major effects on Baker County — including on the county's roughly $85-million annual beef cattle industry.

AS OSP INVESTIGATES MISCONDUCT AT CRIME LAB

S. John Collins/ Baker City Herald

Auctioning a salt block that has been licked and carved by animal tongues, mostly cows, is cause for excitement and anticipation. Whit Deschner, seated, founder of the Great Salt Lick Hoof Arted event, hears auctioneer Mib Daily summoning more and more money for the first salt lick to be sold Saturday night. Inmates from the Powder River Correctional Facility made the ornate base to support the salt lick art that sold for $350. The event was held at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center in Baker City.

BRIEFING By Jayson Jacoby

BLM cancels fire restrictions The BLM's Vale District has canceled restrictions on campfires, smoking outside vehicles and chain saw use that had been in effect for more than two months. BLM Vale District Manager Don Gonzalez warns however, that rescinding the fire restrictions is no reason to abandon good judgement when practicing fire safety. "It's gotten cooler and we've had some precipitation, but fires can start any time of year," Gonzalez said in a press release.

Living history program tonight The Baker County Historical Society will have a living history program at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21, at the Baker Heritage Museum, 2480 Grove St. The program will feature Leland and Nancy Myers and Leanne Myers Woolf (and friends), telling stories of historic Sumpter.

Whit Deschner was happy to be home. Not his own home. But Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, Deschner believes,isthe perfectplace for the unusual event he created almost a decade ago. The ninth iteration of the Great Salt Lick Contest and Auction returned to Crossroads Saturday, and the result was a record-tying $12,000 raised for Parkinson's disease research. "Which is great — it was just a really successful event," said Deschner, who has Parkinson's.

Haberle was treated and released. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald September 22, 2014 The last night of summer was also the warmest. Well, almost. The low temperature at the airport, as of 9 a.m., was a balmy 59 degrees. Only one day this year had a higher"low" — July14, when the minimum temperature was 62 degrees. Blame for the muggy night — or credit, depending on your temperature preference — goes to clouds, which prevented Sunday's 88-degree heat from escaping into the atmosphere, and mild southeast winds.

Union County reviewing more than 100 cases The Union County DistrictAttorney's Office is reviewing more than 100 cases in the midst of a criminal investigation into mishandling of evidence at an Oregon State Police crime lab. Union County DA Kelsie McDaniel said her office was provided with a list of cases worked on by the subject of the investigation. "We do know that this particular person has worked on approximately 116 cases (in Union County) throughout that person's career," McDaniel said, adding that her staff is "going through and looking at each and every case" to "ensure the integrity of the cases." The state informed the DA's office that the alleged evidence mishandling involved controlled substances, McDaniel said, although the office is reviewing cases that "are not confined to controlled cases." McDaniel said DA offices do not decide where evidence is sent for analysis. "We don't usually control where the evidence goes. We don't choose which analyst is examining each piece of evidence," she said. McDaniel said if the allegations are true, the situation "is absolutely disturbing." — Kelly Ducote, WesComNews Seruice

two cases remain pending. OSP also has investigated a second forensic analyst who worked at the Coos Bay crime lab for misconduct in the past. The second analyst has been identified as Jeff Dovci. State police said in review-

ing records for a subpoena, forensics staff and an Oregon Department of Justice attorney found material that "potentially cast doubt on the analyst's future testimony." Baker County had not worked with that analyst, and no cases would have been affected, Shirtcliff said. Authorities said the problem with the second analyst's work wasn't that he tampered with evidence, but that he came to too strong of a conclusion based on the evidence. Dovci, now a private forensic consultant, said he did not steal anything, did not falsify results, and the state's allegations about his interpretationofevidence are amatter ofopinion. The statepolice operates ive labs across the state. f Others are in Springfield, Pendleton and Portland. Lt. Bill Fugate, a state police spokesman, said the forensic labs have very strict policies and procedures in place, including regular audits But, he said, the disclosures about the analysts are prompting further reviews. — Ttu, Associated Press contributed to this story.

®A%%1H658ETTFR„,

In the aftermath of the biggest wildfire in Baker Countyhistory, salvage logging is a major topic of discussion. And a major source of frustration. We understand why. On some of the private land burned in the 104,000acre Cornet/Windy Ridge fire, loggers have already felled burned trees, and trucks have hauled them to a sawmill. On public land, meanwhile — which makes up slightly more than half of the burned ground — it's all but certain that none of the burned trees will be salvaged before next spring. And we won't be surprised ifnot a single charred tree is salvaged from public land in 2016.

Which would be a pity. Not only would the economic value of the trees be lost — aAer about two years burned trees are worthless as lumber — but planting new trees would also be

delayed. The notion that the federal government, which manages these lands on our behalf; would in effect prolong the effects of the fire damage, is infuriating. To be clear, we're not suggesting there is an equivalency between private and public forests. Private forest owners must comply with Oregon's Forest Practices Act, but they don't have to try to balance the public's wishes and concerns, as is the case with the land that belongs to all of us. And yet, managing public forests is not a purely democratic process. We don't go to the ballot box to decide whether to cut trees or build a road or close a caIIlpgI'ound.

Although federal laws require the Forest Service and BLM to study the potential effects oflogging and other work, and give citizens the right to appeal the agency's decisions, those laws also recognize that wildfires are special circumstances. Specifically, agencies can write much shorter environmental studies — the difference, let's say, between a newspaper story and a Tolstoy novel — to speed salvage logging aAer a wildfire. But here's the problem: That legal authority is so limited as to be meaningless when applied to a blaze

as big as Cornet/Windy Ridge. Current law allows agencies to do the abbreviated studyforsalvage logging on areasno largerthan 250 acres. Cornet/Windy Ridge burned almost 57,000 acres of

public land. Not all of that was forested or is otherwise suitable for salvage logging, to be sure. But a 250-acre limit is woefully insuKcient to deal with the scope of the fire daIIlage.

Rep. Greg Walden, the Oregon Republican congressman whose district includes Baker County, wants to change this situation. He's promoting a bill, H.R. 2647 — the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015 — that would expand the 250-acre limit for fire salvage logging to 5,000 acres. The House of Representatives passed the bill in July, but it has gained no traction in the Senate.

This bill should becomelaw. The discrepancy between how the government handles fires while they're burning, and how it deals with their damage, is vast — unconscionably so. When the flames erupt we summon everything in our great public arsenal — jet airplanes, thousands of firefighters, millions of dollars. But in the sooty aftermath we dawdle, plagued by bureaucratic inertia and a legal labyrinth, while public resources rot. There is no great mystery here. We know how to make use ofburned trees in ways that speed rather than retard the recovery of our forests. Why we aren't doing so is the question that makes us shake our heads. And grit our teeth.

i sno ona DonaldTrump should have toured the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library before he debated at the Simi Valley, Calif. ,venue on Wednesday. Perhaps he'd have seen the permanent exhibit showcasing index cards on which the Great Communicator handwrote his favorite one-liners. According to the library display, Reagan began making such notations in the 1950s, drawing on the wisdom of diverse figures like Greek playwright Aristophanes, Roman philosopher Cicero and President John Adams. For 40 years, it was his practice to keep them in a makeshift photo album. The 3-by-5 cards holding his favorite one-liners for dinner speeches and campaign rallies were wrapped with a rubber band and keptinhisbriefcase. Reaganli brary executive director John Heubusch told me that the notecardswere almost lostto history. "Back during the Reagan centennial, the 100th anniversary ofhis birth, I askedour stafFhere togoin search of material that was not on display here at the library but perhaps find something new and interesting," he told me. "After months of searching they found a box which was not marked in any way, just a brown cardboard box high up on a shelf. In this box was the contents of President Reagan's last working desk, so it had in it rubber bands and paperclips and things like that you'd find in a

desk." That box also contained the index cards.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: One of the biggest needs in Oregon is a transportation bill to repair the state's roads and bridges. It didn't happen in the 2015 legislative session. Senate President Peter Courtney, a Democrat, declared even as the 2015 session began that he didn't think a transportation bill would pass. Now, before the 2016 session, Courtney is again saying a transportation bill is not going to pass. It's going to have to wait until 2017, he said, because he has "found little support from others for tackling the complex and politically charged issue in the short session."

We can't help but think some of the reluctanceisnotrelated to the brevity of the session. The very purpose of short sessions is to address critical problems. Roads andbridges arejustascriticalas other legislative priorities for 2016, such as spending on the Public Employees Retirement System and costs of Medicaid. Why does this critical problem get put ofI? Perhapsstatelegislatorshave their eyes more on the 2016 election than the state's needs.Paying fora transportation package likely means raising Oregon's gas tax. And voting to raise taxes in an election year gives opponents a

target and incumbents something to explain. But shouldn't Oregon legislators care more about doing what is right for Oregon than their own re-election prospects? Is their re-election important for thestate,orisitim portant forthem? The fact is the Oregon Department ofTransportation says ithas82bridges that are structurally deficient. By 2017, there will be more deficient bridges. And there's an equally urgent problem with state roads. Waiting until 2017 is not good enough.

BAKER CITY HERALD — 5A

i wa ea son ace o reac i es eve in ears By Taylor W. Anderson WesCom News Service

SALEM — This year is on pace to be a deadly one for drivers on Oregon's roads. After fewer peopledied in 2013 on Oregon roads than at any time since World War II,the state saw an increase in 2014 and is on track in 2015foranother yearofm ore road deaths than in recent years. Already this year, there have been 301 deaths on Oregon roads, and the stateison track tosee m ore traflc deaths — including thosethatinvolve pedestrians — than in the last 15 years. Amid the reversal of a long trend of fewer and fewer road deaths, Oregon is heading into a year when it will increase rural speed limits, which has state and national safety experts nervous. "Since 1999 ... we have been better than the national average. Sometimes 33 percent better than the national average," said Troy Costales, who heads the Oregon Department of Transportation's safety division. Researchers know from decades of study that when the economy improves, people drive more. With more people spending more time on the road, the number of traflc deaths goes up. And that may be what's happening in Oregon. 'There is a clear correlation over time between the rise and fall of the unemployment rate and the number of crashes on the road," said Russ Rader, a spokesman

with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety."As the unemployment rate falls and the economy improves, traflc deaths go up." Oregon's unemployment rate has steadily declined over the last five years, hittingalow pointof5.2percent in April 2015 before ticking back up in recent months. e We are seeing increase in miles driven both in the U.S. overall as well as in Oregon," said Ken Kolosh, manager of statistics at the National Safety Council, an Illinoisbased group that tracks traffic deaths. Kolosh said early data show the amount of time Oregonians spend on roadsisincreasing faster than elsewhere. "In general, during a recession,fewer people drive and fewer people die on our roads, and that's exactly what we experienced during this last recession," Kolosh said."Now we're unfortunately seeing that rebound, which is resulting in more people dying."

speed limits. Starting March 1, 2016, ODOT employees will be posting new, higher speed limit signs on most Central and Eastern Oregon highways and Interstate 84 east of The Dalles. ODOT will spend the coming months changing no-passing sections and warning signs around tight curvestoadjustforthefaster speeds. But even as they preparetojoin otherstates thathave raised speed lim its in recent years, officials are preparingforthe worst. ''When you increase speeds, you increase the energy released when there's an incident, and the human body can only tolerate so much before it breaks," Costales said."That's science. That's not my personal opinion." Kolosh said higher speed limits, while welcomed by truckers and drivers in rural Oregon, are troubling national researchers.

to a much stronger economy and lowgas pricestoexplain the uptick in crashes nationwide, safety officials in Oregon say there's a mystery behind the state's rising death count. "The fair share, meaning about half the time or two-thirds, there's no speed involved and there's no impairmentinvolved,"Costales sald. Many fatal accidents this year, Costales said, involve just one car that leaves the road. "Therein lies a little bit of the mystery, so why?" he sald. Many of the questions safety officials have won't be answered until after numbers are finalized and the state has time to analyze what caused crashes. But even then, it may not always be clear what caused the drivertoleavethe road. Oregon is following another national trend that makes the state's traffic safetyofficialscringe:faster

SALEM — Oregon's 2016 ballot looks to be filled with hot-button initiatives that have left voters sharply divided in the past. Ballot measures on corporate taxes, the minimum wage, union rights and immigration all could appear. So could other issues new to voters, like repealing a carbonreduction program and liquor privatization. It's still early, however, and very few initiative organizershave started collecting signatures. At this point, only one measure is assured ofbeing on the ballot. It asks whether the mandatory retirement age for judges — 75 years old — should be lifted.That one was referred by the Legislature earlier this year. Here's a look at some of the initiatives that could come up in next year's election.

MINIMUM WAGE Two groups have unveiled competing proposals to raise the minimum wage. A group of Oregon's most influential — and wellfinanced — unions and liberal activist groups proposes raising the wage floor to $13.50 an hour and allowing local governments like Portland and Eugene to set an even higher rate. The so-called Raise the Wage Coalition announced its plans in July but hasn't filed paperwork to begin collecting signatures. Meanwhile, a separate group is continuing to push for a higher wage of $15, which would be uniform statewlde.

It's possible that the Legislature will squelch the minimum wage talk before Election Day, however, by raising it without a ballot measure. In fact, the$13.50 group has said it would prefer that lawmakers do the work. Business interests are fiercely opposed to hiking the minimum wage, which they worry would make it harder for businesses to hire workers. Oregonians voted in 2002 to raise the minimum wage to $6.90 an hour and increase it annually based on inflation. It's now up to $9.25.

That helped boost proceeds to $12,000 for the Parkinson's Center of Oregon at Oregon Health and Science University. Deschner came up with the idea for the auction and contest when he noticed the unusual shapes that resulted from wildlife and livestock licking salt blocks. The nine events have

raised about $72,000 for Parkinson's research.

GROUSE Continued from Page1A Bennett plans to attend a press conference Wednesday in Portland involving the federal government's decision on sage grouse. He's optimistic that the chicken-size bird will not get formal federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.

COUNCIL Continued from Page1A In a written statement, Merrill said "As the father of two busy children, my schedule does not allow me to continue my commitment to this elected position." The six councilors will decide how they are going to fill the position left by Merrill. The city's charter requires the remaining councilors to appoint someone to fill a vacancy. To be eligible to serve as a councilor, a person must be a registered voter who has lived in Baker City for at least 12 months preceding the appointment. The Council can direct city stafF to collect applications and lett ersofinterestfrom applicants.

"Obviously our goal has always been to avoid a listing," Bennett said."I feel that the work that has been accomplished, particularly in Eastern Oregon, shows a positive outcome." Bennett said officials from Oregon Gov. Kate Brown's office invited him to attend the press conference Wednesday. He has been a member of the state's sage grouse work group since 2011.

LA GRANDE BESTOWS SUMMER LANDSCAPING AWARDS

DORY'S DIARY

Moments • Iss

we could takeback Embarrassing moments. I'm sure not to be the only one who has them, but other people always seem to enjoy those belonging to someone else. This morning, for some unknown reason, I happened to remember one of mine as I was putting on my shoes. It was while I was dressing for the day that the painful moment came to me and I thought I should tuck it away in my diary so that I wouldn't forget it when I get old. Pay attention to how you getdressed,Iscolded myself,and then relived the day that it happened. Surely it was funnier to others than it was to me. It was years ago that my husband George and I had been invited to a wedding out of town. Fortunately it wasn't many miles from home since we weren't staying the night. We just got in our car and drove to the home where the wedding and reception were to be held and then back home again early evening. Because of that, my embarrassment wasn't long-lasting. It all began that lovely summer afternoonwhen we were making preparationsto leave ourhome, readying ourselves in clothing, at that time suitable for a wedding — a suit, white shirt, and tie for George,a dress,hose, and heels for me. I was undecided about what shoes to wear as I picked out my purse, jewelry, and otheraccessoriesbecause itwasto be a lawn ceremony, and I didn't want to make holes in the soil with very high heels. I tried on a couple pair to see which ones would be the best choice. Of course, myindecision was putting us on a tight schedule and George was anxious to be on the way, for there were family members also attending from a distance,too,and thatmeant a lotof visiting to do.

The LaGrande Community Landscape and Forestry Commission is recognizing Stell Mitchell's residence and Bud Jackson's business property as recipients of the summer beautification awards. The awards program, established in the 1990s,recognizesoneresidentialand one business property in La Grande each spring, summer and fall for their beauty, planning and creati vity. 'The LaGrande Community Landscape and Forestry Commission tries to recognize people's efforts to install and maintain landscaping to improve the appeal and beauty of the city," said Teresa Gustfason, who has beenthetree care educatorfor the city ofLa Grande since 2006. The criteria for a residential award is that the landscaping integrates color,texture, seasonaldiversity and appropriate useof hardscapes and space. The landscaping should also promote resource conservation, wildlife habitat and/or food production. Sometimes the award is given to owners who have to overcome special circumstances

"I was very pleased about it and flattered," said Mitchell."People walk by and compliment me on it all the time, and it's a wonderful feeling. I don't have much to give, but I'm making somebody else smile who walks by myyard." Mitchell has extensive flower beds around her home and inside and outside her perimeter fence. "The city liked all the flowers," Mitchell said."There are flowers all over. I just plant the things I like, mainly flowers with fragrance. I planted cosmos, phlox, a lot of fall crocus, clematis and roses.IalsoloveAsian lilies for their look and smell. I feed the birds too, and they seed some things for me oc-

Commercial property winners are chosen for landscaping that involves careful planning forintegrated colors,textureswith plants, and creativeuseofavailable landscape. Bud Ashcroft of Bud Jackson's Sportsman's Bar & Grill, 2209 Adams Ave., did the landscaping on his winning property. 'That iawardl surprised me by the way," said Ashcroft."I didn't know there was some kind of contest going on. I did some of the landscaping last year, planting shrubs out front, then you just have to keep the flower beds weeded.Ialsohave hanging baskets all around the deck. Basically, I didn't get carried away, so I was surprised I won." The two award winners received a letter from the commissioners, a certificate signed by the mayor and a placard placed in front of their home or business for that season. Nominations for the upcoming fall beautification awards are being accepted through September. Neighbors and fiiends may nominate properties they admire and submit them to Gustafson at the city's Parks and Recreation Department.

it is a little bit. Never quit. Something is better than nothing."

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The average woman needs about 1,800 or 2,000 calories to get through her day. For the average man, it is more like 2,400 calories. But what if you're an athlete? What if you're, say, an offensive lineman on a professional football team? The more you physically exert yourself the more calories you need for fuel. The average offensive lineman requires 6,200 to 6,500 caloriesa day toperform athis peak with suKcient energy throughout an entire game. Even a lowly quarterback needs 5,200 to 5,400 calories. Obviously, athletes don't eat like the rest of us, and elite athletes don't eat like ordinary athletes. Back in the day, Babe Ruth was known to devour two porterhouse steaks, two salads, tw o orders offries and two apple pies a la mode for dinner — and then make after-dinner snacks out of a dozen hot dogs washed down with a dozen Coca-Colas. But those days, perhaps fortunately, are gone. Eating is more of a science now. Today's athletes are likely to follow a health-conscious regimen, and many professional teams hire their own nutritionists and dietitians. Simon Lusky is the team chef for the St. Louis Cardinals and is also chef and owner of Revel Kitchen. A nutritionist with a degree from the Johnson & Wales culinary school, he tailors his meals to athletesdepending on the sport they play, the training they do and even their roles on their team. Lusky cooks meals and gives nutrition advice to everyonefrom professional athletes to the people he calls weekend warriors — those who may run 5K or 10K races, play soccer or maybe ride a bicycle for exercise — to people who are essentially sedentary. Though theirneeds aredifferent,he has the same mantra for everyone:"I believe in balance overall, a good balance between fat, protein and carbohydrates." How this balance is formulated, however, is different for the different lifestyles. "Sedentary people want to watch carbohydrates, but it's viceversa forathletes.For athletes we want to get them carbs, and time them well," he said Lusky said that a good balance for weekend warriors and many elite athletes, including baseball players, is to consume 50 percent of their calories in carbohydrates, 30 percent in protein and 20 percentin fats. There are carbohydrates,

CHICKEN Yield: 4 servings

and then there are carbohydrates. Lusky prefers what he calls "clean" carbohydrates — whole grains and unprocessed foods as opposed to, say, white rice and white bread. "They can have potatoes, but not mashed potatoes with butter and cream. We're roasting them. We can give them potatoes, but not dirtying them up with the other stuff a he said. Protein is important for everyone, but athletes especially need it because it helps to repair muscles. For his clients and restaurant customers, Lusky focuses on what he calls high-quality proteins, "things that are wild-caught orgrass-fed." Freshvegetables and fruits arealsoimportant sourcesof protein. But he warns that protein is only helpful up to a point. "They say that you can't metabolize anything more than two grams of protein per pound of body weight. After that, your body can't use it and just flushes it out. Those are calories that make

your body work hard and can put a lot of strain on your body, such as your kidneys trying to get rid of it" he said. For most athletes in training, he recommends a ratio of 1gram ofprotein daily for every pound ofbody weight. When he is cooking for the Cardinals, Lusky often likes to make healthy, nutrientdenseversions ofotherwise unhealthy comfort food. Instead of fried chicken, he makes roasted chicken covered with crushed corn flakes for crunch. Instead of a typically decadent risotto, he makes a version with barley instead ofrice, using dehydrated mushrooms for extra flavor and the liquid they reconstituted in as stock. And for macaroni and cheese, he makes a sauce mostly out of pureed butternut squash. The cheesy flavor comes from a combination of three cheeses, including a tangygoatcheese to offset the sweetness of the squash. For dessert, he willoccasionally splurge and make a bread pudding. He uses less cream than most versions,

substituting skim milk and coconut milk, and he replaces some of the sugar with sorghum, which has a lower glycemic index. But even so, it's bread pudding. It'snot goingtobegreatforyou. "I like to tell everyone, including elite athletes, that everyone should lead their life by the 80-20 rule," he said. Eighty percent of the time, you should watch what you eat. In the other 20 percent, you should "live a little." When Lusky first came to work for the Cardinals, the team's strength and conditioning coach Pete Prinzi told him, 'You can't train hard and diet hard. Something will give." Just as it is important to take a day off from exerciseto letyour body rest, Lusky believes that taking a day off from dieting is important for your mental health. You can't live up to unreal expectations, he said. What is vital for athletes eating balanced meals is to keep at it,he said. "Consistency is everything. It is important to keep up what you are doing, even if

In a gardener's vernacular the words "brag" and "share" are almost synonymous. At least, I think they are closely associated: brag is to speak boastfully and share is to have, use or experience jointly with others. A garden friend did some boasting and in his next breath did some sharing ofhis recent success with straw bale gardening. The gardening technique has been on my list toinvestigate forseveral years but I never got "round-to-it."

And is anything more blehthan a slab ofroast beef on Yorkshire pudding, which isn't a pudding at all but a popover made ofbaked unsweetened egg batter? Or so the thinking goes. It's a bad iand undeserved) rap thatdrivesBritish-born foodlovers likeScottPerry crazy. While he's quick to acknowledge the country's fast-f ood scene is"horrible" when compared to that in the United States, the Nottingham native is pretty sure all thoseother negative stereotypesabout British food can be chalked up to one simple thing— bad travelchoices. "I think it's because when people go to Britain, they don't know what to order," says Perry, who moved with his family to Upper St. Clair, Penn., when he was a toddler, and grew up in Greensburg. What tourists really should be eating, he says, is a dish the country has had a love affair with since the 13th century — meat pies. Stuffed with savory meats and veggies — think steak and ale, chicken and leeks, lamb and pork — these simpleclassicsarethe perfect comfortfood,and oh sodelicious with their butter and/or lard crusts. In addition to being a British pie fanatic, Perry is also the museum facilitator for Bushy Run Battlefield in Penn Township, Westmoreland County. Fought in 1763 during Pontiac's Rebellion, the battle — and resulting British victory — prevented the capture of Fort Pitt by Ottawa and other tribes of Native Americans. Or as he puts it,'We're the battle that saved Pittsburgh."As such,"it didn't make sense not to be involved." Perry's favorite,the Dshaped Cornish Pasty, a hand pie with a storied history that comes filled with beef, potatoes, swede irutabagal and onion, was developed as lunch fare for workers in the ancient English tin mining region of Cornwall, the dish was awarded Protected Geographical Indication status in 2011 to prevent it being copied by imitators. "I really like meat pies, and history, so it was a win-win for me," says Perry.

In doing so, I suddenly saw my shoes. They had the same height in heel, so I hadn't noticed in walking on them, but the pattern on top was not the same. They may not have even been the same color, for those were the days in which you could match your shoes with the basiccolor ofyour clothing, purse, hat, or for whatever fashion called. Horrified, I studied my shoes and even lifted my feet out forward where I couldsee them better. In so observing, I realized that I had on two different shoes paired with the ones I

In trying to decide which pairwould be the bestto wear, and under pressure of leaving the house, I had failed to make my decision of which pair to wear and was now wearing one shoe of each pair.

But, as I did so, I looked across the room where two young ladies were observing my antics and discovery with broad smiles on their faces. They knew!

WASHINGTON — Congress'Republican leaders face stark tests as they fight to keep the governmentopen pastmonth's end, amid fears a shutdown could imperil their parly's White House ambitions. For House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, anywmng move could throw his very future into question, opening him to a threatened showdown voteon thefloorofthe House over whether he canremainin hisjob.Ifthathappens,thereis no certain outcome. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., must contend with the ambitions of several GOP presidential candidates. One of them, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, has made it his business to oppose the Kentuckian at every turn, even taking to the Senate floor to accuse him of lying. Now Cruz is once again goading a group of House tea partyers who have wreaked havoc with the leadership in the past. Together they are demanding that must-pass spending legislation cut off all federal money for Planned Parenthood. The efforts follows thedisclosure ofsecretly recorded videos in which Planned Parenthood officials are shown discussing how theyacquirefetalpartsfor medical research.

With less than two weeks to the Oct. 1 deadline, there remains no endgame — unless it's divine intervention in the form of an historic addressfrom Pope Francis to a joint meeting of Congress on Thursday. And for the majority of congressional Republicans, who have little interest in palace intrigue or shutdown talk, the infighting and disarray serves only as a depressing reminder of the GOP's repeated failures to capitalize on historic congressional majorities to advance a governing agenda that could help their party retake the presidency. Nor does it bode well for how Republicans navigate fights yet to come this year, including a potentially market-rattling struggleoverraising the government's borrowing limit.

Such warnings are dismissed by the most unyielding conservatives in the House, who insist that the only way to force Obama to reckon with their demands to defund Planned Parenthood is byincludingitin must-pass spending legislation to keep the government open. The tactic hasfailed twice before— tw o years ago over the health care law and earlier this year in an unsuccessful revoltagainst Obama's executive actions limiting deportations. Nonetheless, some Republicans continue to insist that their leaders must hold firm, despitetheprospect ofan Obama vetoand even though McConnell has repeatedly made clear that legislation to defund Planned Parenthood cannot pass the Senate's 60-vote threshold, which demands compromise with minority Democrats. They reject such logic as capitulation.

Mountaineers top Evergreen LA GRANDE — History will show that the No. 7 Eastern Oregon University volleyball team has Evergreen's number. Saturday evening didn't look any different, as the Mountaineers swept (25-15, 25-14, 25-22) Evergreen for the 20th-straight meeting between the two Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) teams.

Eastern knocks offMontana Tech LA GRANDEMountaineer gameday flags lined the lush green grass of Community Stadium, and fans dressed in Navy and Gold anxiously scurried through ticket lines to get a glimpse of the (RV) Eastern Oregon University football team for the first time. Finally, the Mountaineers hosted a contest at home, and what an affair it turned out to be, as the team tallied a season-high 439 yards and came up with key defensive stops en route to upsetting No. 15 Montana Tech, 33-21. Junior quarterback Zach Bartlow finished with a season-high 231 yards passing and two touchdowns, while junior wide receiver Joshua Richards caught four passes for a careerhigh 95 receiving yards for the Mountaineers, including a 73-yard catch in the third stanza.

Josie Ash and Emily Carter each scored a goal Friday as Baker edged Riverside 2-1 in a nonleague girls soccer match at Boardman. Carter scored the gamewinning goal with 15 minutes left in the match to give

Baker (1-3) its first win of the season. "It was an exciting game," said Baker coach Kristen Rushton."This is such a great group of young women athletes. They are a joy to coach." Ash scored Baker's first goal on a penalty kick in the

first half. "She was a great leader the whole game," Rushton said."She leaves all her effort on the field. By the end of the game she is so exhausted. It's inspiring to watch." Rushton said Baker's defense also was a key element against the Pirates.

She said Shane McCauley "was a rock star again on defense." cWe had her mark their best player and she shut her down," Rushton said. The Baker coach said Eliza Rushton, and her sister, Charity, had played strong games in the middle and on

the outside. 'They get stronger and faster every week," Coach Rushton said. Baker will play its first home match at the Baker Sports Complex Thursday when the Bulldogs open Greater Oregon League play against Ontario at 2 p.m.

Baker completed the scoring on a TD run by Sam Hamilton, and a scoring aerial from Brad Zemmer to Brandon Stairs. Redmond fi nished the game with 607 total yards, 479 on the ground. Baker finished with 208 total yards. The Bulldogs host Vale in anothernonleague game Friday at 7 p.m.

Baker's up and down football season took another downturn Friday against Redmond at Bulldog Memorial Stadium. After doing just about everything right a week ago against Payette, the Bulldogs did very little right Friday, falling to the Class 5A Panthers 41-19. "They're a pretty good football team. Definitely better than I gave them credit for," Baker coach Dave Johnson said of Redmond. "But we made too many mistakes tonight. There are some things that we need to address. We need tocome to practice Monday ready to work," Johnson said. The Baker coach acknowledged that not all that the Bulldogs did Friday was bad. He noted that there were some brightspots. cWe had a couple of good series in the first half," he sald. cWe played well at times, and didn't play well at times. You can't do that against a goodfootballteam."

Pine-Eagle's nonleague football game against Crane Saturday was billed as a game featuringa pair of2-0 teams. But Crane decided early to show who the stronger team was, at least on Saturday, handing the Spartans a 66-0 thumping at Bulldog Memorial Stadium. The only time Crane didn't score was on its opening drive. The Mustangs then scored on nine consecutive drives. David Steeves led the way with four touchdowns and 201 yards on 19 carries. Dustin Ramge added two scores and 69 yards on just eight carries. The Mustangs rolled up 539 yards, 408 on the ground. Meanwhile, Crane limited Pine-Eagle's offense to just 114 yards.

SEATTLE LOSES AT GREEN BAY,STARTS SEASON 0-2

BRIEFING

Arizona State defeats New Mexico

By Genaro C.Armas AP Sports Wnter

GREEN BAY, Wis. Given time in the fourth quarter, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers found the weakness in the Seattle Seahawks' defense. -

Middle of the field. No Kam Chancellor at safety. Short passes turned into big gauls. No secondhalfcollapse against Seattle on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. Rodgers and the defense came up big in the fourth quarter of a 27-17 win in a bruising, physical rematch of last season's NFC title game. ''We're2-0.Itwasa great nighthere atLambeau Field," coach Mike McCarthy said.'You sleep better when you win." The crowd erupted at the end, releasing nine months'

worth of fi ustration. The Packers blew a 16-0 lead against the Seahawks in the NFC title game in January. They held on after giving up 13-3 lead at halNme on Sunday. The Seahawks, who fell to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl last year, droppedto0-2 forthefi rst time since2011. "But you have to move forwardand realize there's a lot of season left," said quarterback Russell Wilson, who threw an interception in the fourth quarter. Rodgers stayed characteristically calm under pressure. He was a master at moving around to buy time. He took advantage of Seattle penalties with long throws for big gains. And in the fourth quarter, with the Packers down 17-16,

he orchestrated a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive, capped by a 5-yard scoring pass to Richard Rodgers. A 2-point conversionpass,also to Richard Rodgers, made it 24-17 with 9:28 left. Working without a huddle, Rodgers set up the score with shortpasses to RandallCobb for gains of 18 and 19 yards, respectively. Ty Montgomery turned another short pass into a 17-yard gain. Rodgers and the coaching staf looked at film of Seattle' sdefense before the drive and found a hole. "In the middle of their defense is where you can find some soft spots,that'skind of what we targeted there," the quarterback said. On Seattle's next drive, Jayrone Elliott made a lunging, one-handed interceptionofa shortpass

&om Wilson with 6:50 left, one of the rare mistakes in the second halfforSeattle's dual-threat quarterback. The Packers i2-Ol cashed in with one of Mason Crosby's four field goals on the night for a 10-point lead with 2 minutes remaining. "I'vegota bum fi nger,so I had to catchit with one hand," Elliott said. The defense held on when it mattered in the fourth quarter after giving up chunks of yardage earlier in the second half to dual-threat quarterback Wilson. The Seahawks' last two series ended in turnovers. Besides Elliott's pick, Micah Hyde recovered a fumble by Fred Jackson with 22 seconds left. W ilson was 19 of30for 206 yards, while running for 78 yards on 10 carries.

Bercovici had touchdown passes of 14, 33 and 93 yards and ran eight yards for the other Sun Devils TD. The 93-yard play to Demario Richard matched the third-longest pass in Arizona State history. Richard rushed for 104 yards and his 151 yards receiving — on four catches— isa schoolrecord fora running back. 'That's a pretty good night," Sun Devils coach Todd Graham said. The three TD passes came in a stretch when Bercovici completed17 of19 for 271yards. Overall,he was22 of37 for317 yards and was notintercepted. ''We dominated a team that we should dominate," Graham said.'We got some things going in the second and third quarter."

CALDWELL — The Southern Oregon University football team made its move Saturday afternoon a couple quarters earlier than last week, and no late heroics were necessaryto complete a 42-27 defeatofCollege ofIdaho at Simplot Stadium. The fourth-ranked Raiders i2-1 overall, 2-1 Frontier Conference) trailed 14-7 before scoring 20 unanswered points to end the first half, assisted by Julius Rucker's two forced turnovers. Then, after the Coyotes i1-3, 1-2l got within seven points, SOU quieted over 4,800 fans for good as Louis Macklin rushed 48 yards for his first career touchdown as time expired in the third and Matt Retzlatf went 91 yards for the longest punt return TD in Raider history three minutes into the fourth. Eightdifferent Raiders contributed to atotalof340 rushing yards, the sixth-highest total in program history and the most since Gritf Yates' NAIA record of 348 led them to 373 against Pacific Lutheran on Sept. 19, 199817 years ago to the day. Macklin finished with 112 yards on eight carries, Melvin Mason had 92 on 17 tries, and quarterback Tanner Trosin gained 108 yards but netted 92 on 10 carrries. The Raiders rushed 51 times and averaged 6.7 per.

Central Washington rolls past WOU ELLENSBURG, Wash.— Central Washington scored 40 unanswered points in the first half responding to Western Oregon's opening score to pull away &om the Wolves, 40-19, on Saturday afternoon at Tomlinson Stadium. Coming otf a pair of disappointing losses to open the year at CSU-Pueblo and Dixie State, the Wildcats used the full spectrum of scoring plays for their first-half point barrage. A pick-six interception return was the catalyst for a punt return touchdown, traditional rushing/passing scores,a safety and a fi eld goalthatlaterfollowed for CWU i1-2l. Trey Shimabukuro, the senior quarterback who led the Wolves from early deficits in the opening two games of the year, could not find a rhythm in the first half. He bounced back in the second half to throw for 293 yards on 23-of-46 passing with a touchdown, but couldn't prevent the Wolves from remaining winless in Ellensburg since 1998.

Red Bulls top Timbers, clinch playoff spot PORTLAND iAPl — Felipe and Damien Perrinelle scored 3 minutes apart late in the first half and the New York Red Bulls beat the Portland Timbers 2-0 on Sunday to become the first MLS team to clinch a playoff spot.

The Red Bulls have won three offour and 11of 14. Portland i11-10-8l remained sixth in the Western Conference, a point ahead of San Jose for the last Western Conference playofF spot. The Timbers are winless in four games. "I can't understand why, in that first half, we came out the way that we did," Portland coach Caleb Porter said. "It's very disappointing. ... The first two goals were out of nothing. They were soft goals."

DUCICS,BEAVERS REBOUND WITH WINS

No.k Qucksroll sast a. tate ByAnne M. Peterson AP Sports Wnter

EUGENE — Jeff Lockie was low-key about his first careerstart,satisfied that he helped his team win a game. The backup for Marcus Mariota last season, Lockie steppedin forthisyear's starter Vernon Adams and threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns in No. 12 Oregon's 61-28 victory over Georgia State on Saturday. "Just having my teammates' support going out there really helped me relax, just knowing that these guys have got my back," Lockie said. Adams sat out with a broken index finger on his throwing hand, which he said had bothered him late in the Ducks' loss last weekend to Michigan State. Last season, Lockie completed21 of28 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown, playing off the bench for Oregon's Heisman Trophy winner. He competed for the starting quarterback job in fall camp with Adams, a senior transfer who arrived late because he needed to complete his degree at Eastern Washington. Although Adams insisted he could play and he was dressedforthe game, the decision to sit him gives him a chance to heal before next week's Pac-12 Conference opener against No. 21 Utah. Lockie, a junior, completed 23of31 passeswithout

an interception. "I'm just going out there and we're trying to win. I think if you ask Vernon, if

you ask coach iMarkl Helfrich, I don't think anyone really truly cares who's out there as long as we're winning games," Lockie said. Royce Freeman ran for 101 yards and a touchdown for the Ducks i2-1l, who rebounded from last weekend's loss at Michigan State. Aidan Schneider

added four field goals, all in the first half as Oregon built a 33-7 lead. Nick Arbuckle threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns, and freshman Penny Hart had nine catches for 128 yards for the Panthers i1-2l, who were more than six-touchdown underdogs at Autzen Stadium. Georgia State was hurt by turnovers, including a pair of Oregon touchdowns off an interception and a fumble. "Give all the credit to Oregon, they did a great job, but when you're playing a team oftheir caliber and you hand it to them on a silver platter, it doesn't help your cause," Georgia State coach Trent Miles said. Oregon jumped ahead on Tyree Robinson's 43-yard interception return with just over a minute off the clock. It was the sophomore safety's first career touchdown. Schneider added two field goals, from 26 and 40 yards out, to give the Ducks

a 13-0 lead.

CORVALLIS — Trailing by a touchdown heading into the second half, Oregon State's Storm Barrs-Woods said the Beavers turned to one of the team's youngest players for inspiration. True freshman quarterback Seth Collins is quickly gaining that type of pull with the Beavers. Collins ran for two touchdowns, passed for another and ran for 114 yards Saturday night to lead Oregon Stateto a 35-21win over San Jose State. Collins threw a 31-yard touchdown passto Jordan Villamin midway through the third quarter to tie the game at 21-all, then put the

PAC-12 FOOTBALL

Browning leads Huskies past Utah St. By Tim Booth AP Sports Wnter

SEATTLE — Jake Browning made the wrong read and the first play of the second halfbecame the type of interception mistake freshmen make. What followed was precisely why Washington coach Chris Petersen went with the Browning as his starting quarterback in the first place. Browning rebounded from his lone mistake to throw two of his three touchdown passes in the third quarter as Washing-

ton pulled away for a 31-17 win over Utah State on Saturday. Only three games into his college career, Browning is already putting new marks in Washington's record book. He threw for 368 yards, the most ever by a Washington freshman and 11th most in school history. "I'll tell you, he's doing a good job.... It's a little bit like that teacher that's one step ahead of the student a little bit. We throw a lot at him, and he's got a lot on his plate and every now and again, something will

show up," Washington coach Chris Petersen said. "But it is amazing. We won't slow down because of him."

Washington i2-1l closed out its nonconference schedule with a second straight 300-yard passing game from the true freshman. Browning hit Dwayne Washington on an 81-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first half then threw a pair of TDs in the third quarter as the Huskies built a 21-point lead. Browning hit Washington open down the middle for a 33-yard TD then pirouetted away from

the rush for a 3-yard TD toss to Drew Sample, his first career catch. Kicker Tristan Vizcaino added a 2-yard TD run on a fake field goal in the first

half. Browning has steadily improved from the opener at Boise State where he struggled through moments of looking like a freshman and couldn't get the Huskies offense started. He threw for 326 yards last week against Sacramento State and was even better on Saturday against a higher quality opponent.

Washington State rolls past Wyoming By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

Leach added. Luke Falk threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another for Washington State, which had not won a game in Pullman since beating Portland State on Sept. 13, 2014. The Cougars had not defeated an FBS opponent at home since

beating Utah in 2013. Dom Williams caught two scoring passes for Washington State i2-1l, which did not come by the win easily. Wyoming led 14-7 after the first quarter. "Wyoming playedharder than us early in the game," Leach said.
