TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald September 7, 1965 Unity, Ore., cowboy Dave Herberger was named AllAround Cowboy and top money winner following final eventsMonday ofthetwo-day Labor Day weekend Baker County Fair Rodeo at Halfway.

It was the second time he had won the title, having captured it in 1962 on the basis of his ability to ride bareback and saddle broncs and the bulls.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald September 7, 1990 Troublesome truck wheel ruts on Interstate 84 near Baker City will soon be a thing of the past.

Oregon State Highway Division crews expect to complete grinding operations Monday to remove the ruts between the South Baker interchange and the eastbound Pleasant Valley interchange.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald September 7, 2005 The dense conifer forests that cloak the mountains looming above Halfway could, like a neglected beard, stand a trim, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

And agency officials are sharpening their shears.

Officials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest are proposing to cut about 8.5 million board-feet of timber from 1,900 acres of publicly owned forests along a 12-mile-long strip that starts on the west side of Pine Valley.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald September 8, 2014 Robert"Bob" Richmond of Baker City, a retired supervisor of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, died Friday in Montana.

Bob was 76.

Services will be announced later by Coles Tribute Center of Baker City.

Bob and Joyce, his wife of 56 years, moved to Baker City in 1987 when Bob was hired to lead the WallowaWhitman.

He retired in 1997 after a 36-year career with the U.S. Forest Service.

EDITORIAL

air ea or re Vlc mS The idea sounds eminently logical when you hear But somebody had to think of it. And we're glad Baker County Assessor Kerry Savage did.

Next week Savage and his staf plan to visit properties in Stices Gulch and elsewhere where wildfires destroyed or damaged buildings in mid-August.

They'll re-appraise the value of those properties, taking into account the loss of, or damage to, structures. The end result is a smaller property tax bill this November for aAected property owners.

Owners probably could get the same tax relief by appealing their bills, but Savage doesn't think the county ought to subject any bureaucratic hassle on people who have already suA'ered.

Re-appraising these properties adds to the assessor's oKce's workload, of course. But Savage might well recoup that time by avoiding property tax appeals later.

In any case, it's the right, and moreover the fair, way to handle an already diKcult situation for some of our neighbors.

ettin veterans care e nee Severaltimes a year,Ihave theprivilegeofgreeting World War IIveterans who travel to Washington, D.C., to see their memorial on the National Mall as part of the "Honor Flight" program.

Thesebrave men and women foughtto protect our freedom and defeat tyranny.

In the words of General John Pershing, the commander of American forces in World War I, "time will not dim the glory of their deeds."

He was right. Time will not dim the glory of their deeds. This holds true for all of America's veterans, from World War II and Korea to Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. We as a nation owe our freedom to the men and women who have served in uniform.

But too often, the Department of Veterans Affairs fVAl and other arms of the federal government have failed our veterans. That's why I'm working hard to pass legislation and cut through red tapetoimprove health care forveterans and active duty military, help them findjobs when they return home and increase accountability and transparency at the VA. One of the very first laws passed by Congress this year was the Clay Hunt SAVAct, which seeks to combat the terrible plague of veteran suicides. The law would help ensure that the VA's mental health and suicide prevention efforts receive independent, third party oversight.

And alsoithelpstoim prove

GREG WALDEN accounting of available mental health services while implementing a better, community-based approach to delivering suicide prevention services.

Last year, Congress passed a law requiring the establishment of a new 'Veterans Choice" program to help rural veteransget carefrom private providers. This was a good step, but the rollout of the new program has hit some speed bumps along the way. For example, the law that created the Choice program says that a veteran living more than 40 miles from a VA medical facility may go outside the system for care. Originally, the agency had calculated that 40-mile distance"as the crow flies" instead ofthedistance ittook todrive there.

That didn't make sense to me or many veterans I heard from in Oregon. So we passeda law to make itclearthat40 miles is defined by how far a veteran needs to drive for care. This will help veteransget the appropriate carethey need in the communities where they live.

It's not just enough to make sure veterans have health care. They need jobs too. In July, the president signed into law the "Hire More Heroes Act," which will exempt veterans enrolled in health

Your views Fires show the need to actively manage our forests One of the many excuses to restrict use of our public lands by the Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur National Forests is that we need to "preserve"ourforestforthenextgeneration, the only problem is, the Forest Service isn't doing that. The Forest Service, with assistance from theirpartners in the local environmental community, allow our forest to degenerate into fuel dense stands waiting to take our homes and property with it.

To preserve has many definitions — "To save from decomposition,""To keep safe from injury, "or"To reserve forpersonal or special use."

The only preserving I see is the third, to reserveforpersonal or specialuse,towhich thosespecialusesseem to begeared only to those that mean to use public lands for theirpersonal enjoyment of"recreational use" which comes from the local environmental groups. That preservation comes at the expense of our fiiends' and families' homes and future generations needs of the natural resources that are now gone forever.

I'm not sure who, or if anyone reads these letters, but in the West we are well-schooled in preserving our summer fiuits and vegetables. Would anyone that takes part in canning topreservethoseresources,gothrough that work and then open up the cupboard doors and bust every jar with a hammer and then closethe doors and letthe mess set?

But yet, this is the mentality we are watching unfold in our mountains.

It's time it ends and I hope that this summer brings the people of Eastern Oregon and theWest together tocallfor sane,active, vegetative management to both the Forest Service and elected county officials who are

care provided by the VA or TRICARE from being counted as part of the 50 fulltime employee threshold for purposes of the employer mandate in Obamacare.

This ensures that employers aren't penalized for hiring veterans under the health law's mandates.

We also passed a new law to allow all veterans to get a special ID card from the VA as proof of veteran status, eliminating the need to carry and use their official military discharge papers.

And the House has passed plans to increase funding for veterans programs, recoup bonuses from poorly performing VA executives who received them based on false claims and allow the VA greater authority to remove employees if they aren't up to the job. The Senate should act on these bills right away.

I have two veterans on stafF who assist Oregonians with problems at the VA andI' ve already assisted over 5,000 veterans and their families. If you or a loved one needs help with the VA ior any other federal agency), please call my office tollfree from the541area code at 800-533-3303.

Feds will pick up part of Oregon's

firefighting bill

By Dylan J. Darling WesCom News Service

Amid a hectic wildfire season in Oregon, the largest fire in the recorded history of Crater Lake blackened the northwest corner of the state's only national park.

Still burning after five weeks, but waning and 70 percent contained as of Saturday, the National Creek Complex Fire has burned 15,500 acres — almost 25 square miles. Of that, about 13,022 acres are in the park and the rest is national forestland. While historic, the big blaze did not leave a mark close to Crater Lake or any of the park's signature sights.

"As far as scenic vistas, it is not something you are going to notice unless you look for it and you are aware thatitis there,"said Greg Funderburk, fire management officer at Crater Lake National Park.

SALEM — While Oregon fire officials are still bracing for the end of fire season, the state's bank accountwillreceive assistance from the federal government, making the fire season less expensive forthe state.

The state, along with the entire Northwest, has been grappling with large wildfires throughout the summer. Firefighters have received help of late from rain and cooler temperatures, but not before fires in Central and Eastern Oregon destroyed dozens of homes and burned hundreds of thousands of acres in a third consecutive devastating wildfire year.

The stateprepared for a bad wildfi re season ahead of time, obtaining a wildfire insurance policy earlier this spring to help with up to $25 million of this year's costs.

Yet thebillfor the state heading toward the latter part of the fire season is much lower than it could have been — $26.5 million as of Friday afternoonhad the fires not been so threatening.

"Ifyou're surprised itisn'tm ore,it'sfor tw o primary reasons," said Tim Keith, administrator of the state's Land Protection Fund.

First, the state splits firefighting costs with the U.S.Forest Service and Bureau ofLand Management forfi res that starton federal land.

A firefighter does mop-up on the National Creek Complex fire inside Crater Lake National Park. As of Saturday the fire was reported to be 70 percent contained. The low-snow year left the park vulnerable to fire conditions, rangers said. was the closure of the national park's north entrance for 13 days, which forced visitors toreroute their trip to Crater Lake. The park has two entrances, with

s irescoo,anew ear ooms: as oo in PENDLETON iAPlWith rain and even a little snow falling on a destructive wildfire near John Day, local offic ialswere ableto breathe a sigh of relief that flames are largely controlled, but another concern is emerging: thepotentialfor catastrophic flooding.

Grant County has asked an engineering firm to investigate what can be done to ensure fire damage doesn't cause flooding for cities and homes located beneath the charred mountains.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch Friday and early Saturday for areas in Baker County burned in the Cornet/ Windy Ridgeand Eldorado

A significant amount of the Canyon Creek drainage has been damaged by fire, m uch of itssteep slopesare now filled with half-burned debris, downed trees and ashy ground.

"I'mjustscared to death of what could happen," Grant County Commissioner Boyd Britton said.r We don't have any vegetation now in much of that watershed."

The fire has destroyed

43 homes and burned more than 170 square miles south of John Day and Canyon City. Firefighters reported over the weekend that parts of the fire continued to burn but spreading was minimal.

Crews are dropping water and strengthening containment lines.

Doug Ferguson of Ferguson Surveying and Engineering will act as a liaison between the multiple local, state and federal agencies that will conduct rehabilitation efforts in areas of the Canyon Creek drainageharmed by the fire.

if more fires ignite between now and the end offire season.

Also helping protect the state's coffers fiom a spiked bill is Oregon's unique large wildfire insurance policy, now four decades old.

Fire officials and lawmakers feared British insurance giant Lloyd's ofLondon wouldn't offer the state another year of the policy after consecutive badfi reyearsand afterthestate had a record low snowpack last winter.

Lloyd's eventually offered a policy with a

Continuedfrom Page 5A Second, the state will also get federal help because some wildfires were severe and threatened communities and their watersheds. The Federal Emergency Management Agency iFEMAl will potentially reimburse the state forup to 75 percentofthecostsfor Oregon's most expensive fires, Keith said.

FEMA may pick up much of the tab"on all our most expensive fires: Stouts Creek, Canyon Creek, the Eagle Complex,and the Grizzly Complex."

It's notguaranteed thatthefederalgovernment will pick up 75 percent of the costs for those fires, and the state is only making a best guess at this point in the fire season about its total costs.

It can take years to get a final tally on firefighting costs because so many different agenciesareinvolved.So the state could see its portion of the tab increase over time, and

"When thefire madeits big push, it wasspotting a half-mileinjont ofitsellf".

Continued from Page5A The National Creek Complex Fire dwarfs the size of the next largest wildfire on record at Crater Lake National Park, Funderburk said. Records go back to 1931 and show the Bybee Fire, which burned 2,930 acres in 2006, was the next biggestblaze.Alsonoteworthy, the Middle Fork Fire in 2008 burned 2,232 acres in the parkin one day.Thefire burned an additional 15,000 acresoutsideofthepark.

The national park covers more than 183,000 acres.

With record-low snowpack at the park this winter, a mark also dating back to

$50 million deductible and a $3.75million premium.

Without the help kom the federal government for the state's largest wildfires,"we would have blown well past the $50 million deductible," Keith said. A figure for the total costsofallthe agenciessofarwasnotavail-

ing on the rim and saw the lightning strike that started ithe fire in the park)," he sard.

The fire started in woods at anelevation ofabout 5,800 feet, which in a normal year would have been covered in ice and snow during wintertime. But this past winter they stayed snow-free, Funderburk said, priming them for fire this summer.

Called a complex because it is made up of more than one fire, the National Creek Complex Fire began as the Crescent and Crescent 2 fires in the park, which were about a quarter-mile from each other, and the National Fire, which started just outside the park boundary less than a mile away.

The Crescent and Crescent 2 fires grew together quickly. The flames Funderburk watched took off fast. In an hour the fire had burned 5 acres. In two hours it had burned 20 acres. Firefighters, including smokejumpers and engine crews, squelched seven other small fires that day but the Crescent, Crescent 2 and National fires defied their efforts to put them out.

Days later, in the hot and windy stretch from Aug. 8 to Aug. 14, the National Creek Complex Fire increased greatly in size.

Along with the National Park Service closing North Entrance Road, the Oregon Department of Transportationtemporarily closed parts of state Highways 138 and 230. A stretch of Highway 230 from just north of Union Creek and Highway 138 was closed from Aug. 14 until Aug. 24, according to Gary Leaming, an ODOT spokesman. The Park Service also closed a portion the Pacific CrestTrailpassing close to the fire. All are back open and should remain so unless the fi reflaresup again.

The fire spread through oldgrowth red fi rand hemlock, as well as stands of lodgepole pine killed over the past 20 years by mountain pine beetles. Flames fed on dried lichen, which turned into embers and caused spot fires ahead of the main wildfire. ''When the fire made its big push, it was spotting a half-mile in front of itself," Funderburk said.

To stop the wildfire's spread, firefighters lit controlled burns from the North Park Entrance Road and the highways. The "burnouts" took nine days to complete along 12miles ofroad and highway.The main goal was to keep the fire from spreading toward Diamond Lake, and firefighters were successful.

Now firefighting is winding down, with a change of weather at the park helping keep the fire's activity minimal, said Chris Ziegler, spokesman for the interagency team managing the National Creek Complex.

"As of right now iwel hope to have containment October 1," he said on Thursday.

Passing through the north entranceofthepark visitors will see the charred results of the burnouts. Other than that, Funderburk said they should not notice much different with the park despite the fire's lofty spot in the record book.

The mild winter that helped the fire grow so large has alsoboosted tourism at the park.

Despite the temporary closureofthe entrance,visitationoverallhasbeen good this year at Crater Lake, said Jim Chadderdon, executivedirectoratDiscover Klamath. The organrzatron promotestouristsitesin Klamath County including visits to Crater Lake. "ill don't think the fires affectedthem tooterribly," he said.

Flashback to when you were a child and you had your first bicycle, pair of roller skates or other toy with wheels to play on. Smooth surfaces were the ideal place for gaining confidence on your wheels. You looked for those spots, you knew whereto fi nd them, they w ere probably your favoriteplacesto ride. Now imagine a place with plenty of smoothsurface,obstaclesto build confidence, and no cars to watch out for.

Todaythatplace exists;it'sthe skate park.

Sometimes I'm met with skepticism when I suggest that a great place to take kids, especially toddlers, is the skate park. If you're fortunate enough to live in a community with a cement bowl-like skate park then you're really in luck.

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

To George, on his

birthday Dear George: I have a secret to hide in my diary today, which would be your 91st birthday, but I'm not going to tell anyone else, not even Daphne, for you know how she blabs things around. This is justbetween the two ofus until I have something more specific.

Well (drawn outl ... George, you know how I've always wanted to have a book published and how it never came about for one reason or another.

Well (drawn outl ... it looks like it might happen after all.

It won't be a big book because publishing is expensive, but I have found a publisher — I see him as a stalwart friend — who has agreed to help me put together some of my"Dory's Diary" columns that were published in The Observer so that I will have something to remember these days by with a book to put on my shelf.

There will be room for only about the first two years or so of columns, out of justoversix yearsso farthat's May 23, 2009, the year after you hadto leave,to Sept.30,2011,if possible, but what fun I will have in just seeing that.

Zucchini often gets a bad rap, so this week, I am here to defend thisfabulous vegetable.

We usually have an abundance of zucchini in our garden, but this year we don't seem to have enough. After last summer's threats ofbeing beaten with zucchini when offering one to a neighbor, I realized not everyone appreciates them. I wanted to stick up for this amazing versatilevegetablethatisa perfect break from leafy greens.

Zucchini originated in Italy generations ago, makingit to America around the 1920s. The Italian word for squash is "zucca."

Zucchini is one of the easiest vegetables to cultivate and has an overwhelming production, as most of you already know. It

Right now, harvest is in full swing.

The green beans have grown skyward. And anyone who's ever planted a bean seed can understand how the fairy tale story of"Jack and the Beanstalk" came about.

Pole beans seem to have a mind of their own as they stretch toward the sky and attach their tendrils to anything in their wake — including nearby tomato plants or Italian prune trees.

Although Jack's beanstalk grew overnight from magic beans he traded for his mother's milk cow, all beans seem to me to grow in a magical way.

As tourists, we were very fortunate because it happened to be graduation day. The ceremonies were over and cel ebrations with parades,fl oats, families, and ecstatic students were clogging the city streets. It was an exciting place to be, yet we had to be careful not to lose each other in the crowd.

Our destination was the Tower Squareand thefamous Joanina Library constructed between 1717 and 1728, roughly some five decades after the founding of the university. Today

it houses more than 200,000 books written before 1800.Allotherlibrary books are housed in the New Building constructed in 1962. Together they constitute the Central Library.

Skate parks, such as this one in La Grande, can be a fun place to have an outing with kids.

SKATING Continued from Page1A My friends and I affectionately refer to them as "giant bowls of containment."

We've found that our kids stay put and we aren't always watching to see where they've run off to. If you time your visit right and bring toys you can count on a greatdealofgood fun and exercisetobe

had by all.

It really is all about timing. Unless your kids are skilled enough they can become a hazard to others. You also mightnotbeattracted tocertain crowds that sometimes gather at skate parks. If

that's the case you can take full advantage of the park when it's not being used. During the summer I've found that early to midmorning hours don't seem to attract crowds. Now that school is in session you'll find that the skate parks are usually unoccupied during school hours, it's a wonderful time to go.

We used to go to the skate park with just bikes, and then all it took was a Tonka truck to open a can of worms.

Now in addition to bikes we go with a couple of other toys to play with to keep things interesting. Who knew that the ramps would make great racetracks for toy cars!

To our surprise it turned out tobe a colony ofbats living behind the books during the day and coming out at night to eat the harmful insects which might have entered. The bats and the insect-r epelling odor ofthe oak wood shelves have conservedthesetreasures in the past and continue doing so.

Following the library visit we went into the Square where excited new graduates in their traditional black capeswere greeting friends and family.

A new graduate from the College of Law was selected to tell us ofhis experience and a bit about the university.

His black wool cape was of greatinterestasheexplained how these were usually a gift from family or someone special and were worn all through the university years.

Colorful patches embroidered with various symbols or representing milestones that had been met were displayed on the cape — those from the family on one side and from friends on the other.

In Porto we vlsited the famous Lello Bookshop, one of the oldest in Portugal and saidto bethethird-best bookstore in the world. Again my words cannot adequately describe what lay beyond the front door.

It was crowded. First of all it is a very popular tourist attraction, which was evidenced by the fact that we had to stand in line to be admitted a few at a time as those inside finished and exited. Add to that the small size and the fact there was a colorful ornate double spiral staircasein the middle ofthe room leading to the second floor which housed, in addition to books, a small cafe-

Continued from Page 1B They sprout quickly and then seemingly overnight here they are, producing more string beans then you have time or desire to pick and snap into bite-size pieces to be popped intothe freezer.

It takes consistent picking and processing to make sure the couple of months spent staking, watering and guiding those wayfaring beanstalks in the right direction are fruitful and not wasted with a product that's overgrown and leathery.

And the same goes for the zucchini squash and the cucumbers that hide in the expansive spread of their leafy cover. Unless a diligent daily watch is kept, they will outgrow their prime size and their most tasty uses.

I'm happy I've still got tomatoes to worry about nurturing to ripeness. Even though that will mean monitoring the weather, covering the produce at night and even picking some that are just starting to ripen and storing them in the basement to finish.

My sister's Southern Oregon garden was raided by a hungry deer herd that stripped her plants ofleaves and fruit last week on the very night she had planned to move them inside when the weather turned cold at her house.

I'll keep her loss in mind as I continue the time-consumingjob ofharvesting and preserving our tomato crop.It could be worse — I could have lost my crop and with it the pizzasauce,salsa and tomato jam that areyetto com e.

Burnt River dropped its season-opening nonleague volleyball match at Spray/Mitchell Thursday.

The Lady Bulls fell 25-17, 25-22, 25-19.

Despite the loss, Burnt River coach Tonia Humbert was happy with the first match.

"I was very pleased with our first game," she said. 'We didn't come home with a win but the girls played very well. We were able toeffectively execute our 6-2 offensedespite the fact that the team just learned it this week."

Humbert said sophomore Shea Swindlehu-

"She played with a level of maturity that I had never seen before. Junior Lucy Marlow's serving was exceptional," Humbert said.

"She keptthe momentum in our favor several times during the game. Valeria Orsoni had her debut as a setter. She had some beautiful assists that allowed Selina Leinhard to put down some major kills."

Humbert said the loss could be attributed to mental errors, mostly in serving.

"I expect this will correct itself with time as thegirlsgain experience,"she said.

Instead they signed with Texas A&M, and on Saturday night the pair led the

Aggies to a 38-17 win over the 15th-ranked Sun Devils.

Allen threw for a score early and sealed the game by running for a touchdown and throwing for another in the fourth quarter after being benched in favor of freshman Kyler Murray in the victory.

Allen won the starting job in camp, but coach

Kevin Sumlin replaced him with Murray in the second quarter and alternated quarterbacks for much of the second half. Allen spent most of the third quarter on the bench before returning early in the fourth and capping a long drive with a 12-yard touchdown run that made it 24-14.

FiveBulldogrunnerscompeteat Pendleton PENDLETON — Five Baker runners competed at the Runner Soul Cross Country Fest Saturday at Sandstone Middle School in Pendleton.

"The weather conditions were idea on a flat race course, which was perfect considering this was most of the kids' first time competing a full cross country

distance," said Baker coach Suzy Cole.

"The kids did great. I was very happy with how they competed and what they learned from it. No one on our team has ran a fullseason ofcrosssow e are looking at this year just learning from one meet to the next so that by the time we get to districtswe feel

comfortable knowing that we are in shape and know how to run cross.

"Hopefully by district's time we will also have some more runners, we would really like to get to a full team on both the girls and boys side," Cole said.

Saturday, Amelia Botts placed 62nd in the girls varsity meet with a time of

25:34.1. K-Lee Hickman was 51st in the JV girls meet with a time of 34:54.8.

Elijah Banister was 66th in the boys varsity meet with a time of 20:40.0. Clay Keller was 67th with a time of 20:41, and Connor Cline 81stwith a time of22:36.2.

Next up for the Bulldogs is the Catherine Creek Scamper in Union Friday.

Continued ~om Page1C "Brad gotinto a rhythm and threw the ball well," Johnson said."And our guys m ade some greatcatches.Alloftheguys were contributing."

Johnson said a lot of that was possible becauseofthe play ofthe offensiveline.

'The fiont line opened some big holes forour runners,and did agoodjob ofpass protection," the Baker coach said.

Baker was limited to just 54rushing yards. Part of the reason was because Porter Cline, Baker's best runner, left the game earlyin the second quarter with an ankle injury. He did notreturn. Johnson said he did not know the extent of Cline's

injury Sunday morning. Cline had gained 61yardson seven carriesbeforehe left.

Next up for Serena in Slam quest: Venus NEW YORK iAPl — No need for any extra practice for Serena Williams after this performance.

Plus, it's not as if she needs to study too hard to figure out how to deal with her next opponent.

Playing far better than she did earlier in the U.S. Open as she chases a calendar-year Grand Slam, Williams set up a quarterfmal against older sister Venus with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over 19th-seeded Madison Keys on Sunday.

"A Williams will be in the semis, so that's good," the No. 1-seeded Serena said after needing only 68 minutes to dismiss Keys, a 20-year-old American with formidable serves and forehands who simply was outplayed.

Already a winner of the past four major tournaments, including last year's U.S. Open, Serena is trying to become the first tennis player to win all four Grand Slam titles in the same season since Steffi Graf in 1988.

Venus, at 35 the oldest woman to enter the field, was on court even less time than her sibling, overwhelming 19-year-old qualifier Anett Kontaveit of Estonia 6-2, 6-1.

Serena acknowledged having a bout with the jitters before her second-round match, when she double-faulted 10 times, made another two dozen unforced errors and needed to come back over and over just to claim the opening set against a qualifier ranked 110th. Afterward, she took pointers from coach Patrick Mouratoglou and headed out to the practice court right away.

Baker kickers fall at Payette PAYETTE — Baker lost a nonleague girls soccer match at Payette Saturday, falling 5-2.

Charity Rushton and Josie Ash scored Baker's goals.

Calli Ward, Rushton and Ash were named Baker's most valuable players for the match.

Baker also lost the boys match to the Pirates, 5-0.

SACRAMENTO, Calif iAPl — Daniel Kniffin threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns to lead Sacramento State to a 41-20 victory over NAIA's Eastern Oregon on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.

Kni5n threw touchdown passes to Jordan Robinson and Isiah Hennie in the first quarter to open the scoring and the Hornets went on to lead 31-0 at the break.

Kni5n plunged in from the 1 to open the scoring in the second half. Jace Billingsley hauled in the ensuing kickofF and returned it 100 yards for Eastern Oregon's first score.

Sacramento State's Shane Harrison caught eight passes for 125 yards.

Darnell Sankey, with 12 tackles, and Joey Banks, with 11, led the Hornets' defensive charge, holding Eastern Oregon to 244 total yards. Sacramento State had 296 yards passing and 203 on the ground.

Humboldt State slips past Western Oregon ARCATA, Calif.— Western Oregon dropped a 29-20 decision at Humboldt State in the opening game of the 2015 regular season and Great Northwest Athletic Conference schedule. WOU falls to 0-1 overall and in the early race for the GNAC title.

Senior quarterback Trey Shimabukuro threw for a career-high 368 yards i26 of 38l and three touchdowns leading the Wolves comeback effort in the second half.

Preseason All-American Paul Revis topped the century mark for the seventh time with 116 receiving yards on six catches. Senior running back Joe Harris tallied 70 yards on 16 carries, averaging 4.4 yards per touch.

No. 1 Southern Oregon loses to Carroll HELENA, Mont. — The Carroll College defense is perennially regarded as one of the best in the NAIA but hadn't looked like it against Southern Oregon since the Raiders joined the Frontier Conference in 2012.

That changed Saturday afternoon at Nelson Stadium, where thefourth-ranked Saintsfinally bogged down top-rankedSOU in a 26-20 win. Therivalsengaged in an openerthatwas dictated by defense and specialteams until Saints quarterback Mac Roche threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Connor Poulson on fourth down to break a tie with 7:16 remaining.

The Raiders — who won 42-40 in last year's NAIA quarterfmals at Carroll but have now lost three straight regular-season games in Helena — scored only one offensive touchdown: Melvin Mason's 40-yard run up the sideline that made it 7-0 less than three minutes into the game.

Matt Retzlaf broke off a 95-yard kickoff return in the first half and Marcus Montano made a pair of field goals i38 yards, 36 yards) for SOU's other scores.

SOU had a chance to tie or win the game when it obtained possession with 2:37 remaining. Kamerun Smith, who shared time at quarterback with Tanner Trosin, completeda 12-yard passtoRetzlatfand a 22-yarder to Zack Davis to get the Raiders into Carroll territory. But the drive stalled out 30 yards from the end zone as four straight incompletions — including two key drops — ended the game.

Seattle Sounders defeat Toronto FC SEATTLE iAPl — Obafemi Martins and Clint Dempsey reconnected at a time the Seattle Sounders need all the points in the standings they can get.

Martins scored his 11th goal of the season in the opening minutes, Dempsey connected off a counter attack in the 77th minute and Seattle beat Toronto FC 2-1 on Saturday night, a crucial victory for the Sounders' playoffhopes.

The Soundershave 41 pointsand jumped ahead ofboth Sporting KC and Portland — at least temporarily — in the Western Conference playoff chase.

NorthwesternupsetsNo. 21 Stanford EVANSTON, Ill. iAPl — Northwestern wanted to prove a point against No. 21 Stanford and drove it home with a strong running game and solid defense that produced a season-opening surprise.

Or, as defensive end Dean Lowry put it eWe unleashed a caged bull today."

Freshman Clayton Thorson ran for a 42-yard touchdown while playing turnover-fiee ball at quarterback, Justin Jackson added 134 yards rushing, and the Wildcats beat the Cardinal 16-6 on Saturday afternoon.

If Northwestern felt like a caged bull, well, back-to-back 5-7seasonswilldo that.

After nearly all of their 16-0 lead disappeared, the 23rdranked Broncos came up with enough plays to send Petersen home with a loss. aWe weren't in very good situations in this game and we still responded and were able to find a way to win," Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.

Jeremy McNichols rushed for 89 yards and two first-half touchdowns, and Boise State withstood a second half filled with special teams mistakes for a 16-13 victory over Washington on Friday night in Petersen's return to the school he helped grow into a national power.

Boise State i1-Ol dominated the first half in building a 16-0 lead. But Washington's defense stymied the Broncos in the second half and three big plays on special teams — including Dante Pettis' 76-yard punt return for a touchdown — gave Washington a chance.

CORVALLIS — Seth Collins won himself the starter' sjob forOregon State.

The true freshman threw a pair of touchdown passes, including a 44-yard fourthquarter strike to Jordan Villamin, to lead the Beavers to a26-7 victory Friday night over Weber State in Gary Andersen's debut as head coach.

Collins went into the game sharing quarterback duties with redshirt freshman Marcus McMaryion as theBeavers adjust to a new spread offense under Andersen, who came to Corvallis after two years in Wisconsin.

In addition to two TD passes, Collins led the Beavers with 152 yards rushing — the most for an Oregon State quarterback since Tim Alexander ran for 205 against Northern Illinois in 1996. One of his runs in the second quarter was capped by an acrobatic hurdle over a defender.

"I think we'd say after thatgame,thatperformance, that Seth is our starter,"Andersen said.

Garrett Owens added four field goals for the Beavers as Andersen embarks on his first season following the departure oflongtime coach Mike Riley, who went to Nebraska.

Transitioning &om Riley's pro-style offense to a run-first spread, Andersen and new ofFensive coordinator Dave Baldwin wanted to give both Collins and McMaryion live-game experience. ''When I stepped out on the field it felt good, it really just felt good," Collins said.

"Obviously I had the jitters, but I wasn't scared. I just feltpretty good."

McMaryion served on the scout team last year and saidhe learned a lotfrom former Beavers quarterback Sean Mannion, who graduated after a recordsetting senior season and went to the St. Louis Rams.

Collins arrived at Oregon State early and impressed coaches in the annual spring game, throwing for 175 yards and two touchdowns while also running for 74 yards.

Josh Burton intercepted McMaryion for an 8-yard touchdown return late in the third quarter for Weber State's lone score.

Oregon State went 5-7 — out of the bowl picturelast season under Riley.

Weber State, which plays in the Big Sky Conference, went 2-10 last season in Jay Hill's first year as head coach. Andersen recruited Hill to Utah when Hill was a promising young cornerback nearly two decades ago, and the two later worked on the Utes' stafF together under coach Kyle Whittingham.

Weber State junior quarterback Jadrian Clark, who started the final five games last season and threw for 902 yards and seven touchdowns,completed 19 of35 passes for 120 yards and an interception against Oregon State.

The Beavers went up 6-0 in the first half on a pair of field goals — from 30 and 40 yards out — as both teams struggled to sustain drives.

Collins started the second half and capped his first drive with a 4-yard scoring pass to Victor Bolden.

the persistent Eagles, who were ranked No. 6 in the preseason FCS coaches poll.

Adams took advantage of an NCAA rule that allowed him to join the Ducks without sitting out a season after he wrapped up his degree at Eastern Washington. He arrived at fall camp severaldays late because he had to take one last final exam.

In 37 career games with the Eagles, Adams passed for 10,438 yards and 110 touchdowns while rushing for 11 more.

He has a considerable challenge in replacingMariota,arguably the best quarterback in Oregon's history. Now with the Tennessee Titans, Mariota led the Ducksto a 13-2record lastseason and a spot in the championship game of college football's first playoffs.

Oregon's issues on Saturday appearedtobe on defense and the inability to contain West, who started in four games as an injury replacement for Adams last season, and Cupp.

Adams was efficient &om the start with each of Oregon's first four scoring drives taking less than three minutes.
