Gov. John Kitzhaber believes collaborative work on national forests — and on other fronts — will soon start reaping benefits.

In a Saturday visit to Union County, Kitzhaber told Union County Commissioner Mark Davidson to "Just hang in there a little bit longer."

Davidson told the governor that the collaborativeprocesshasbeen "painfully slow." awe've been working three years and we haven't cut a log yet," he said.

Davidson noted that there does seem tobe progress,especially with a broad engagement in the collaboratives.

"Itdoes seem like there issom e movement," he said.

Cylvia Hayes, Oregon's first lady, has an agenda and it is anything but hidden.

Hayes made this point in illuminating and articulate fashion during her keynote

Hayes and Gov. John Kitzhaber are champions of the Oregon Prosperity Agenda,an environmentally friendly plan for driving down poverty and promoting economic development.

Walden: Situation not a shock

By Pat Caldwell IFesCom News Service

Oregon Congressman Greg Walden said the current unstable situation in Iraq is discouraging but not a surprise.

Walden, a Republican lawmaker who represents Oregon's sprawling 2nd District said last week warning signs of a potential crisis in the regionwere visible foryears.

'The Iraqi government has called for help for the last year or more. They could see what was happening and the administration has not been willing to engage,"Walden sald.

The situation in Iraq spiraledoutofcontrolrecently when an al-Qaida guerrilla splinter group called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant overranlarge swaths ofthat nation. The rapid advance by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levanttriggered acollapse oflargesections ofthe Iraq SeeIraq / Page 5A

Localresidents alsohave ventured past the ramp closure signs, only to be turned around by flaggers.

When one traveler was asked why he continued past the ramp closure signs, he said he didn't believe the signs reflected current conditions and claimed he could figure out a way to get through a construction site on his own.

"It's extremely hazardousfortravelersto ignore construction signs," Sipp said.'They are there to help keep travelers and construction crews safe. Ignoring or disobeyingthese signsisnot only illegal, but also puts a lotofpeoplein danger."

The Oregon Department of Transportation is reminding travelersthatthe Interstate 84 Exit 259 westbound freeway on-ramp at the west end of La Grande remains closed due to construction work and is not expected to open until the fall.

Numerous motorists continueto drive pastseveral bright orange construction signs and reader boards positioned along Adams Avenue and U.S. Highway 30 that identify the freeway on-ramp is closed.

The SolWest Fair debut at the Union County Fairgrounds this weekend was a promising one.

This was the consensus of many of the people who attended the renewable energy and sustainable living fair, one which previously had been conducted in John Day for more than a decade.

"I loved it," said Barbara Robinson of Mosier.

The many features Robinson liked about it included the 50 workshops visitors could choose from and the vendors and exhibits. She was pleased with the many items available from vendors, including surprising ones like children's books about the environment and freeze-dried food.

Robinson said the only bad part ofthefairwere the thunderstorms and downpours that hit Friday.

"I could have done without the rain," she said.

Jennifer Barker of Seneca was fascinated by the display of electric vehicles, which drew people like a magnetthroughoutthe weekend. She was impressedthat people in the area owned electric cars.

Barker also was impressed that more than energy was addressedatthefair.

"It was not just about renewable energy but sustainable living," Barker said.

"This was a dress rehearsal," he said.

Many attending the SolWest Fair from outside the area camped at the Union County Fairgrounds.

Ralph Javins of Seattle was among the campers. His site included a small wind turbine and solar panels, which he uses to power his ham radio. He enjoyed having people stop by his campsite to show them how his wind power generator and solar panels work.

Sereptimist Iniernaiional O d

Howtoflyakite like ayro MCT News Service

Amy Doran didn't know there was a whole festival for kites until she ran into one — literally.

Doran, an interested kite flyer for the last decade, remembersjogging down the beach in Lincoln City when she happened upon the city's annual Summer Kite Festival. She ran home to get her kite and flew it for the next nine hours.

That was nine years ago.

Today Doran is a five-time grand national champion, touring the country with her equally talented son Conner to fly kites outside and indoors, performing her classic "Charlie Chaplin" routine wherever she goes.

Amy Doran's "Charlie Chaplin" Kite Routine Amy Doran performs her"Charlie Chaplin" kite routine at the 2014 Summer Kite Festival in Lincoln City.

"It's been a greatride," she said at this year's Lincoln City festival. But just because she can maneuver a kitelikea pro,doesn't mean the average person can't. According to Doran, it's easy enough to get good at kiting — as long as you don't mind crashing.

'You're going to go out there and flop the kite around," she said. She practiced for a long while herself, crashing time after time, picking her kite back up and always trying again.

"Pretty soon you'll get moments where you'll get it."

And evenifyou don'tget it,there are plenty ofpeople in the kiting community are willing to lend a hand.

That community spirit was sky high as the Phoenix Kite Collective took to the kiting ieldto begin agroup fl f y.Led by kite maker Barry"Bazzer" Poulter, the Phoenix crew took out a dozen beautiful kites and handed over the reins to people in the crowd.

Bazzer has a special connection to the custom-made "asteroid" kites— he made them all himself."It's about getting them to the people," he said."It was just getting away from that elitism and opening it up to everybody."

How to fly a kite like a pro:Bazzer Poulter' stips Washington-based kite maker Barry"Bazzer" Poulter gives tips on flying a kite like a professional.

The group represented a unique, but by no means outof-the-ordinary community spirit that filled the event.

But as storm clouds began to gather offshore, tensions bubbled up at the beach. A group of five kiters took to the field to engage in a fearsome Rokkaku kite battle. The rules of the contest are simple, but make for a cutthroat fight.

Using small hexagonal kites, the participants fly no more than 150 feet in the air, attempting to simul-

I

g

taneously dodge and take down opponents. A kiter can knock down an opponent by tipping it upside down, blocking its wind, or — viciously — by literally cuttingitloose,rubbing one kitestring against another, using the friction to cut it.

On Saturday when a young Rokkaku competitor cut the string of a veteran champion, the two didn't feud — they winced and laughed it off. It showed a light, jovial side to the community that otherwise takes flying kites very seriously.

For some flying kites can be a profound experience.

Amy Doran said it changed her life. Connor has lived with epilepsy since he was four, and when she introduced him to kiting as a kid, he got hooked. He started flying indoor kites seriously, and even flew his way onto an episode of "America's Got Talent."

With something to focus on, and something to believe in, the Dorans gained a fresh perspective on life.

When she started flying kites, she had no idea it would take over her life, but when she got more involved and deeper into the community, everything started changing for the better.

"That was it," Doran said, dressed as Charlie Chaplin standing proudly with her peers."I was partofthe family from then on."

Sounders beat D.C. United WASHINGTON (AP) — Chad Barrett scored in the 39th minute to help the Seattle Sounders beat D.C. United 1-0 on Saturday night.

Seattle (11-3-2) won its third straight and extended its undefeated streak to five games.

Gonzalo Pineda lofted a cross and Barrett headed the feed from the penalty spot to inside the upper left corner of the goal past goalkeeper Bill Hamid. The goal was Barrett's third goal in four games and his fourth of the season.

United (7-5-4) held a significant possession advantage but couldn't find the net.

In the 82nd minute, Eddie Johnson narrowly missed tying the game when his header fell wide.

Both teams played without their top scorers — Seattle's Clint Dempsey is playing for the U.S. in theWorld Cup, and United's Fabian Espindola is serving a suspension.

Kidd named Bucks coach NEWYORK (AP) — The Bucks and Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a deal allowing Jason Kidd to become Milwaukee's coach, a person with knowledge of the details said Monday.

The Nets will receive a second-round draft pick in 2015 that was formerly their own, and another in 2019 belonging to either Milwaukee or Sacramento.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced.

Kidd went 44-38 in his only season as Nets coach, but then sought control of the basketball operations department and was denied.

The Nets gave him permission to talk to other teams about a job.

Milwaukee still has coach Larry Drew under contract.

YOUTH SOFTBALL

The Union County Lightning 10-and-under softball team emerged as champions at the Boise Blastjldaho Sporting Goods Shootout tournament over the weekend, beating the Idaho Sliders twice to win the championship.

With the tournament played under a double elimination format, the Lightning had to beat the Sliders twice to take home the title since the Sliders did not lose in bracket play. The Lightning took home the title after playing seven games in two days. Head coach Kat Naughton said she was proud of her girls for playing four games on

Sunday with only 10 minutes to rest in between each game.

'The girls showed so much grit and determination over the weekend," Naughton said."Playing four games on Sunday with very little time to rest was definitely the hardest part of the tournament."

The Lightning went 1-1 on Saturday in poolplay before beating theBoise Blast by a 6-3 margin to open double elimination bracket play.

'The girls did a great job ofholding and maintaining their intensity,"

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon has run outofsuperlativesto describe Felix Hernandez.

The Mariners ace allowed just one hit over eight innings while striking out nine, and Robinson Cano backed him with a two-run homer as Seattle earneda 3-0victory overtheCleveland Indians on Sunday.

"Felix is great. I don't have the adjectives to explain it anymore. It's just unbelievable," McClendon said.

Hernandez allowed just Lonnie Chisenhall's single in the fifth inning and walked three in picking up his 10th victory of the season. It was Hernandez's ninth consecutive start where he has pitched at least seven innings and allowed two or fewer runs. During that stretch he is 6-1

Eli Wisdom enjoyed a very successful weekend at the plate for the La Grande Legacy Legends baseball team. In both of the team's wins at the Walla Walla, Wash., Tournament, Wisdom went a combined 6-for-7 from the batter's box. Wisdom also drove in five runs during La Grande's 12-0 win over Washington Rush, and contributed an additional RBI in the win over Yakima, Wash.

with a 1.30 ERA. He struck out 77 while walking only 10. His 2.10 ERA is now tied with Masahiro Tanaka of the New York Yankees for best in the American League.

"I think they were sitting on my changeup with two strikes. We struck out alotofpeoplew ith the fastball," Hernandez said."The command of the fastball was really good. Mixed it up with my breaking ball for a strike and changeup was good, too."

Naughton said."It was a very difficult task for them to take on, and they gave an outstanding effort. I think they grew up a lot both as players and as people over the weekend."

events and runs the 6 Ranch with her mother, Liza Jane McAlister, and brother, James Nash, was the clear winner in the event. Nash was also honored with the Best Cowgirl award for the rodeo, taking home a pair of custom-made spurs.

Calvin Schaeffer took first in the ranch saddle bronc riding competition with 76 points followed by Cody Bracher who earned 72 points.

Break-away roping and saddle bronc riding were individual events and points earned did not count toward the team events.

The Top Hand award for the best overall cowboy went to Barrie Qualle of Enterprise's Quail Run Ranch.

The La Grande Legacy Legends reached the semifinals of the Walla Walla Tournament in Walla Walla, Wash., before losing to the hosts 10-5 and falling 6-3 to Bellevue, Wash., in the third place game.

Despite outhitting Walla Walla 13-6 in the semifinals, the Legends could not recoverfrom seven costly defensive errors.

"I'mvery happy with how we hit and pitched over the weekend," coach Mike Wisdom said.'Wehave to work on our defense and make sure we teach the kids how to stay focused and consistently prepared on defense in every game we play."

Only one of the 10 runs Tanner Stremcha gave up pitching for the Legends in the semifinals was earned, as Stremcha threw five strikeouts while giving up four walks and six hits.

The Legends opened the tournament on Friday with a 9-2 loss to Asotin County, Wash., but quickly recovered with a 12-0 win over Washington Rush later that day and an 11-4 victory Saturday over the Yakima, Wash., Beatles to advance to the semis.

In La Grande's first victory, the team combined for 19 hits, as Tyson Wicklander, Eli Wisdom, Jake Chamberlain and Kurt Boyd all got three hits. Wisdom led the Tigers offensively with five RBI. In the semifinal loss to Walla Walla, Wicklander, Chamberlain and Childs all had two hits, while Drew Hively had three hits and the lone home run of the tournament for the Legends.

La Grande is now 11-9 on the season, having lost six out of theirlasteightgames.

WIRE BRIEFING Nation & World News

Businessman tapped to lead troubled VA WASHINGTON — Seeking to turn around a troubled agency, President Barack Obama will nominate former Procter & Gamble executive Robert McDonald to lead a Veterans Affairs department grippedby reportsoftreatment delays and cover-ups.

An administration official said Obama planned to nominate McDonald to the Cabinet post on Monday. If confirmed by the Senate, the 61-year-old McDonald would succeed Eric Shinseki, the retired four-star general who resigned last month as the scope of the issuesatveterans'hospitals became apparent.

McDonald's nomination signals that the president put a premium on management experience as he sought a new VA secretary.

McDonald also has a military background, graduating near the top ofhis class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and serving as a captain in the Army, primarily in the 82nd Airborne Division.

PRETORIA, South Africa — A panel of mental health experts has concluded that Oscar Pistorius was not suffering from a mental illness when he killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home lastyear,thechiefprosecutor at theathlete'sm urder trial said Monday.

Pistorius' trial resumed after a break of one month during which a psychologistand three psychiatrists also assessed whether the double-amputee runner was capable of understanding the wrongfulness ofhis act when he shot Steenkamp through a closed toilet door.

The panel's reports were submitted to Judge Thokozile Masipa, and prosecutor GerrieNel referred to key parts of the conclusions, noting that the experts believed Pistorius was"capable of appreciating the wrongfulness ofhis act" when he killed Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model.

The evaluation came after a psychiatrist, Dr. Merryll Vorster, testified for the defense that Pistorius, who has saidhe feelsvulnerable because ofhis disability and long-held worry about crime, had an anxiety disorder that could have contributed to the killing in the early hours of Feb. 14, 2013. He testified that he opened fire after mistakenly thinking there was a dangerous intruder in the toilet.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel has alleged that Pistorius, 27, killed Steenkamp after a Valentine's Day argument, and has portrayed the Olympic athlete as a hothead with a love of guns and an inflated sense of entitlement. But he requested an independent inquiry into Pistorius' state of mind, based on concern the defense would argue Pistorius was not guilty because of mental illness.

BAGHDAD — The alQaidabreakaway group that has seized much of Syria and Iraq has formally declared the establishment of a new Islamic state, demanding allegiance from Muslims worldwide in a move that could further strain relations with other militant groups.

Cookbooks connect the

generations Two generations collided in my kitchen this week and I felt caught in the middle.

A few days ago my mom handed me a worn, hardcover recipe book.

It belonged to my grandma Marie Colombari, who passed away June 1 at the age of 91.

On the pages she had pasted recipes she'd clipped from newspapers and magazines, and tucked in others she'd written on scrap paper.

Inside the front cover, in her cursive handwriting, she gives the conversion forold-time oven temperatures ofa "slow oven" (250 to 300 degrees F) and a"hot oven" (400 to 450 degrees).

On another page she recorded the addresses, phone numbers and years of four diferent homes in Baker.

She lived in the final house from 1951 until her death.

As I flipped through the pages, I ran my fingers across the handwritten recipes — familiar writing that has gracedmy birthday cards forthepast 35 years.

In my family we preserve these connections to the past — my mom has her grandmother's recipes, and my grandpa's recipefor gingersnaps always brings a smile to my face because he wrote"flower" instead of"flour."

Another recipe, which my grandma jottedon a scrap ofpaper,isfordivinity — that divine creamy candy that she made every December until a few years ago. No other divinity has ever measured up to my grandma's, and I hope to one day come close to replicating it using the recipe she wrote down for me.

Have we fo1" otfcn oU1"HB ?

It was Flag Day, Saturday, June 14, 2014.

Iam embarrassed and disappointed in myself.

It was Flag Day, Eastern Oregon University's graduation, yard sale day, Farmers Market, regular business day, and Freight Day for the Union Pacific Railroad, all rolled into one Saturday.

Each one had its own attendance, too much on the community agenda to do anyone of them justice.

The graduation ceremony, of course, drew the biggest crowd with cars parkedinevery available space,even snake-tailing their way around both sides of the C Avenue/Gekeler Lane curve in a traffic-dangerous way.

Itwas a day forcelebration,deservedly so, for those wearing the mortarboard and gown after years of study and now facing the world on its own terms.

However, tucked in a little space off of Jefferson Avenue and Fir Street in La Grande was a little band of folks who couldn't change their agenda, for it was National Flag Day on their calendars with no option for changing its routine.

It has always drawn a very small crowd of folk who dedicate themselves to the task of honorably destroying old and frayed American flags to a respectful grave by burning.

Fermented vegetables are an easy way to preserve your garden's harvest. Moreover, fermented vegetables help maintain the proper balance of bacteria in your gut.

Fermented Ve etables

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

We have been fermenting foods since ancient times. There is evidence that people were fermenting beverages since 5000 BC. Only relatively recently have fermented foods largely disappeared from our menu.

Lacto-fermented, orcultured,vegetables are a great way to get the beneficial"good" bacteria into your gut. Proper gut health is critical to overall health; many refer to the gut as your second brain.You should eat some form oflacto-fermentation in every meal.

Fermented foods are making a comeback, though,because theyimprove digestion,restorethe proper balance ofbacteria in the gut, are rich in enzymes and increase the vitamin content including folic acid. Fermented foods actually help us to absorb the nutrients in the foods.

Making your own fermented foods is easy and cheap. I am excited to share these easy and delicious recipes. As you harvest your veggies this summer here is one super way to keep store them and stay healthy.

Fresh Green beans, asparagus, carrots or radishes 1/4 Cup of brine juice from fermented vegetable or kimchi (optional) 2-3Teaspoons of sea salt, the brine should taste like ocean water Garlic, ginger, onions or herb variation Here are the basic instructions to make your own fermented vegetables. Once you mix the salt and water together it should taste like ocean water. If you want to get a jump-start on the fermentation process add 1/4 cup of fermentation liquid from fermented vegetables or kimchi.

Using bay leaves with radishes will help to keep them crunchy and give them a great flavor.

When youferment beans orasparagus blanch in boiling water for 30-60 seconds depending on the size. Immediately put into ice water to stop the cooking process. Put your vegetables in a jar and add garlic or ginger and herbs if desired. In a separate glass jar mix the

salt and water together to cover the vegetables, leaving an inch from the top of the jar. Seal and let sit at room temperature for a least 4-7 days. Refrigerate. This will last for months in the fridge.

Pickled ala eno Pe er Slices 1 Pound fresh jalapenos, sliced into 1/4 inch rings. Use gloves to protect your hands from burning.

1Tablespoon sea salt 1-2 Cloves garlic (optional) Fill a half pint jar with jalapeno slices. Discard the seeds if you prefer. The seeds actually contain the heat. Press down on the pepper slices to pack them into the jar. Add garlic. Separately, in a glass container mix together the water and salt to make a brine. Pour the brine over the jalapenos leaving 1 inch from the top for expansion space. Place the lid on tightly. Allow to ferment at room temperature for 3-4 days. Then refrigerate. It will last for months in the fridge. A great topping for pizzas, enjoy!

Although I always thought that it made so much sense, I didn't have the courage to follow the tenets.

Ashlie Chastain, 14, left, and Novalee Shoemaker, 10, practice cooking skills at the OSU Extension Office in Baker City. Members of the Patriots and Clover Kids 4-H clubs also practiced table setting and the selection and arrangement of their Favorite Outfit displays for the Baker County Fair in earlyAugust.

DORY Continued from Page 1B The date and time of the event always appears in The La Grande Observer and again in the Baker City Herald when they hold a similar service in that town.

Still, it seldom draws more than a few onlookers besides thoseparticipantsdirectly involved.

It makes one wonder why.

The recent history of the local resurgence of the flagburning ceremony doesn't go back many years, but it is worth visiting even just for information.

The year was 2008 when a few ladies, atthe suggestion of Regent Dorothy Robertson of the Daughters of the American Revolution Lone Pine Tree Chapter, gathered at the fire department apron around Eva Hiatt's patio firepot and burned their accumulated worn American flags on national Flag Day. Firemen, having given permissionforusage oftheir property, observed their efforts and came outside to

help.

The small firepot was almost destroyed from the heat of doing thejob for which the group saw to its restoration for the owner.

The next year the La Grande Fire Department provided burning barrels and helped with the burning of some 241 flags, passers-by asking to purchase the better flags out of ignorance of why they were being burned, thinking it a wasteful or wanton act of flag destruction.

The third year brought a distinct change in the Chapter's attempt to provide a properdisposalofthe American flag, the state of Oregon flag, the Prisoner of War flag, and others when the assistance and renewed involvement of the American Legion Post 43 was forged.

The service was held in the back lot of the Legion between Jefferson Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

The ceremony this time was conducted with the DAR and the Legion participating to the tune of passing cars on one side and the freight trains cross-traffic. The rain came down and those attending shivered in the wet and cold.

A few flags were burned honorably as representative with the remaining respectfully destroyed by the Loveland Funeral Chapel and Crematory.

This year 2014, the little band of patriotsmet once again.

The skies were cloudy but rain was withdrawn. The

•000

wind was fairly gentle but cold. Chairs welcomed the guests and the veterans stoodproudly attheirassignedpostsand did their duty as predicted.

The Observer reporter Dick Mason took retired Phil Bullock's and photographer Chris Baxter's post behind the camera, and all was in readiness.

Just before 10 a.m. it was announced that they heard the Union Pacific freight train in the block and they would await its passing.

The freight wasn't to be out-waited, for it was double length with engines in front and back and in the middle to carryitscargo along the tracks to its destination.

The engineer returned waves and tooted his safety whistle in recognition of the Flag Day event, but the noise precluded much of the vocal ceremony done with respect in military style by the veterans of the American Legion Post 43 La Grande; Bobbie Dalgliesh, Legion Chaplain and representative for the Women's Military Veterans of Union County; Veterans of Foreign Wars iVFWl Post 2990 La Grande; VFW High Valley Post 4060 Union, with the members of the DAR and guestsin attendance.

Still, it went on with dignity, the rifle fire of the members of the High Valley Post 4060 of Union adding accent to the feeling of patriotism and emotion surging through the participantsobserving the sight oftheburning fl ags,one by one, and dropped skillfully into the burning barrel by the veterans, working two by two.

Why, then, am I embarrassed and disappointed in our observance of national Flag Day? Downtown La Grande flew the American flag up and down its streets; many citizens did likewise; surely somewhere they sang or listened to the "Star Spangled Banner," and the newspaper printed one of Dick's photos of the burning on page 2. As a daughter of the DAR, I knew my place to be at the burning of the flags, so I was, but there was something vital that I had forgotten.

Now I question whether a lotofotherfolkshad forgotten, too.

It was an article in a small magazine, the American Profile, that reminded me that June 14 was the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 when Continental Congress sanctioned a flag for the brand-new United States of America. Flag Day was officially established, the arti clesaid,by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916

HOME 8 LIVING

Unless you are going to a posh party or maybe getting married, I'd cancel the manicure appointments for the next few weeks. Believe me, I have had enough broken nails in the past m onth to offer advice at the Dear Abby booth. Save your money and purchase an extra pair of good garden gloves.

Interesting comments around the proverbial watercooler seem tobe centered on the awesome display of lilacs this year.

Many agree that the trees bloomed at least two weeks early. I can't remember a year when the branches were so heavily laden with those lush blooms.

Considering that this year's blooms were in the forming process directly after lastyear's bloom season, I am trying to remember what magical weather combi-

The different writing style and the terminology had me rereading some paragraphs to confirm what I thought he was saying. The book will go on the shelf with "Carrots Love Tomatoes" by Riotte and Cunningham's "Great Garden Companion."

This year I am implementing new ideas, like planting the tomatoes with the carrots. I will have to be watchful to pull out dill seedlings that pop up every year in that area. Carrots have a major dislike for dill.

and designated as an annual observance in 1949 by President Harry Truman.

In spite of the flag's importance,itisn'trecognized as a national holiday so business continues as usual and otheractivitiesseem to take precedence over the one day we are encouraged to fly our flag for all to see. Do we any longer recognize or remember the importance of what our flag represents in itself?

I ask myself that question.

We were a small group that day, to be sure, but one intensely loyal to the meanings of freedom and what the starsand stripes emblems mean to the world.

May our numbers grow as we turn away again from self to Liberty and Justice for all, remembering those who stand or have stood between tyranny and ourselves.

Let us remember and observe our National Flag Day — the day of the red, white, and blue — the Stars and Stripes. Our freedom is always in jeopardy.

Do we know that?

July 4 approaches. Will we think of it only as a day of fireworks and picnics?

Or, will we remember that it was the beginning of our nationalindependencein 1776 with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, given us by the sacrifice of so

vailed with straight rows and cans of this and that to make sure nothing crawled in and about nice neat rows. No one really cared what components made up thesoilor how to preserve them, and magic foods for the plants were purchased from alocalgarden center.

Somewhere along the line, I had a hallelujah moment and stripped off the bondage of being a conventional gardener. I have been a happier gardener ever since. I'll admit I get a few pangs of guilt when I visit a neat and tidy pristine garden, but it passes quickly.

I recently finished reading a third book on companion gardening written by British author Bob Flow-

THE OBSERVER a BAKER CITY HERALD —9A

HOME 8 LIVING

By Phyllis Badgley An article in the Agri-Business special section included with the June 13 issues of The Observer and the Baker City Herald featured a story about growing cherries in Cove. That sparked my childhoodmemories of1930s as our family travelled often from Baker to Cove.

We traveled old Highway 30, over Telocaset bridge.

I recall a service station at the top of the highway grade. Business was brisk as they sold flat tire patch kits inecessary equipment of that eral. We drove down Pyles Canyon through Union to Cove, where we visited relatives,and obtained cherries.

Always on Memorial Day we decoratedfamily graves at Cove Cemetery. Occasionally we swam in the Cove thermal swimming pool.

My maternal grandparents in early 1900 established a cherry ranch on Upper Mill Creek in Cove. A road sign

"One summer as a I 0-year-old I was allowed to

came annually to harvest the crop. They slept in tents at a grassy area next to Mill Creek. I recall the name of Chipmans that my uncle spoke of. The pickers were instructedto grasp the full stem, not pull fiuit otf separately.

If a mixed plantingis not appealing to you, Riotte suggests making a solutionof tomato leaves inyour juicer, adding four or

Make the rocket: 1. Cut the tubes to the desired length and cover with scrapbooking paper. Trim the excess paper and glue the seam overlap in place.

2. To make the top, cut a 6-inch diameter half circle from a second color of paper. Slightly overlap the straight edges and glue in place to form a cone.

3. Glue the cone to one end of the covered tube, matching the joining to the seam in the tube paper.

4. Cut 6- to 8-inch lengths of assorted star trim and/or ribbons and glue inside the rocket tube lower edge.

5. If desired, paint the dowel. Cut the dowel to the desired length and glue inside the rocket tube.

Star garland Make this starry garland one of two ways — either with a sewing machine to join the stars together, or using glue to mount them on a thread.

What you'll need: Precut cardstock stars (2 inches) or red, white and blue cardstock and a star punch (see note) Glue (for the no-sew version) Heavy thread in desired length, plus 24 inches (for the no-sew version) Sewing machine and thread (for the sewn version) Note on star punch: The featured project used a Fiskars XL 2-inch Star Lever Punch.

Make the garland: 1. If punching your own stars, cut an equal number of each from the three colors of cardstock.

2. For the no-sew version, glue the stars to the heavy thread, alternating colors. Space the stars about 2 inches apart, or vary spacing for interest.

3. For the sewn version, begin sewing with thread only and stitch 12 inches. Insert a star and continue sewing across the star and off of it and allow approximately 2 inches of space before inserting the next star. Continue in this manner, alternating star colors until the desired length is reached, then continue stitching off the last star for 12 inches.

Pendants Begin with a plastic tablecloth or two from the dollar store and cut pendants for a festive banner. Make it as long as you need to add spirit to wherever it will hang.

What you'll need (for a 48-inch long banner): Patriotic plastic tablecloth or two 4 yards grosgrain ribbon, V4-inch wide Ruler Scissors Glue stick Make the banner: 1. From the plastic tablecloth(sj, cut triangles with an 8-inch base and 10 inches tall. If the tablecloth has a variety of patterning, cut from several design areas. Cut12 pendants. Cut off the base corners at an angle, V4 inch in from the edges.

2. Fold under the triangle base V2 inch and glue in place over the ribbon, spacing the pendants approximately 2 inches apart.

Leave12 inches of ribbon free at each end for attaching.

nilla. She placed the mixture in a pint jar for easy transport as Ruth and I hiked to deliver the wholesome drink to Uncle Arch.

As a"city girl" I became aware of country surroundings diferent than what I was used to. I noted a pathway that led to an outhouse; a cream separator that hummed in motion; a square glass tabletop churn that required turning to createbutter;a reservoir section on one end of a cook stove; a single standpipe that supplied water from a spring; a sneaky garden snake that scaredme; a cold damp root cellarthatstored carrotsand apples; and a nearby chicken house where chickens nested and enhanced the &esh egg

supply.

An incident I vividly recall &om my stay at the ranch, was seeing a group of American Indians who came to buy cherries. I was fascinated to see people of a different

I may turn a few heads byplanting some cucumbers with mycorn. Eachyear I say Fm notgoing to plantcorn, but this yearIcan'tresisttheideaofcombining some ofthe cucumbers with the corn planting. I also will try the combination of afew radishplants, Idt to mature to seed, in the cucumber patch to ward of the

culture. Women wore tightly secured head scarves, and several layers of ankle-length skirtsthatbrushed their moccasins. Uncle weighed the cherry purchase on a handheld scale as the menfolk discussed the transaction and counter-offered the asking price.

I recall another incident, hearing Uncle's concern about a possible hailstorm.

He hoped it would hold otf, so cherries would not be damaged.Ifthe storm blew over, he antici pated a commercial buyer would pay 8 cents a pound for his prime 1935 cherry crop.

After a number of years harvesting cherries and adding more trees, Uncle Arch surrendered to life's aging process and retired.

He and Aunt Stella sold the McNeill cherry ranch to the Towle family, and moved from Mill Creek to a home in downtown Cove, where they lived out their final years.

Both are interred in Cove Cemetery near other McNeill ''kinfolks."

In the Illinois case, known as Harris v. Quinn, the National Right to Work Foundation urged the justices to either limit who can be forced to support a union or to strike down mandatory fees entirely.

A ruling casting doubt on mandatory fees could have a significant effect in Democratic-leaning states, which authorize unions and mandatory fees.

These so-called blue states are in the Northeast, the Upper Midwest and on the West Coast. Most of the Republican-leaning red states in the South and the Great Plains have "right to work" laws that allow employees to opt out of unions.
