ONTARIO — State Sen. Ted Ferrioli said Eastern Oregon communities that voted against legal recreational marijuana should be able to ban the substance's sale, but they must be prepared for possible ramifications. As a member of the Joint Committee on the Implementation on Measure 91, Ferrioli was a co-sponsor of House Bill 3400, which allows communities to opt out of recreational medical sales and medical marijuana dispensaries. He also co-sponsored a bill that allows medical marijuana dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana starting Oct. 1. The intent of the bill is to give users a place to purchaserecreational marijuana until statewide rules forrecreational sales SeePot / Page5A

ELGIN — Many Union County residents likely enjoyed their best night of sleep in about a week. All the Level 1 evacuation notices issued for the Phillips Creek Fire were lifted early Sunday evening. The decision to lift the evacuation notices was made bythe Union County Board of Commissioners, working in cooperation with Phillips Creek Fire officials. "A lotofpeople had been hoping to hear this," said Kathy Arnoldus, a public information officer for the Phillips Creek Fire. The decision was made because of moderating fire activity, Arnoldus said. The Phillips Creek Fire is now 45 percent contained. As late as Friday, it was only 13 percent contained.

UNION — Imagine livingin a home for months without a useable kitchen. Stephenand Shannon Krummel know what it is like. The Union couple also know what it is like to receive a helping hand the size of nearby Craig Mountain. The Krummels, married for 47 years, have received a major lift from volunteers afterwaterseeped into their home via a leaky roof, one they could not afford to fix. "The leak did massive structural damage to the kitchen," said Larry Knowles, vice president of Grande Ronde Valley Habitat for Humanity. The leak that caused the damage was stopped more than a year ago by the Union Baptist Church, to which the Krummels belong. Members of the church's Barnabas Group worked together to place a new metal roof on the Krummels' home. Unfortunately, the condition of the Krummels' kitchen worsened despite the new roof, for the wood damaged by the leaky roof continued to rot. "The damage had already been done," Knowles said. Grande Ronde Valley Habitat for Humanity then entered the picture. Ofllcials for the organization were alertedtothepoorcondition ofthe Krummels' home by Byron Whipple, Union County's veterans service offlcer. Whipple knew of the Krummels' plight because Stephen Krummel is a Vietnam veteran who suffers from a number ofhealth issues. Knowles, after examining the Krummels home, knew that something had to be done. The walls were rotting, the cabinets and shelves were falling apart, and there were two holes in the kitchen floor, includ-

Beef cattleNo.1in regon agricultureonceagain By Jayson Jacoby WesCom News Service

BAKER CITY — After 20 years of playing second fiddle to the likes of tulip bulbs and m apletrees,beefcattle have regainedtheirspotatthe top of Oregon's list of most valuable agricultural products. The sale ofcattleand calves— thebiggestsectorof Baker County's ag industry for decades — brought in $922 million in gross sales in 2014,according tothe Oregon Department of Agriculture.

That topped the $830 million in sales of greenhouse and nursery products. Greenhouse and nursery products replaced beefcattle as Oregon's top-selling agricultural commodity in 1994. "It's pleasant news, but nottoobig ofa surprise,"

said Curtis Martin, a North Powder area rancher and pastpresident ofthe Oregon Cattlemen's Association. Martin said cattle prices have mainly trended higher over the past few years. He attributes this to the recovery of the U.S. economy after the Great Recession, the significant decline in the country's cattle herd due largely to extreme drought in Oklahoma and Texas, and a burgeoning export market in Japan and Taiwan. ''We have a very aggressive Oregon Beef Council that pursues international trade," Martin said. 'That industry 4eef cattle) hasn't been number one since the early '90s, so I'm sure it's exciting to them to be a leader once again," Kathryn

Walker, special assistant to the director for the Oregon Department of Agriculture, said in a press release. Cattle didn't rise to the top ofthelistbecause other commodities endured declining sales, though. In fact, except for wheat and potatoes, each ofthe top 10 commodities posted higher sales in 2014 than in 2013. "Itwas generally a great year for Oregon's farmers and ranchers,"Walker said. ''When you have so many commodities with a production value above $500 million, that's impressive." Besides cattle and nursery products, two other commodities surpassed $500 million in sales last year:

• Hay, $703 million • Milk, $656 million

Whenever budget and revenue decisions are contemplated by elected leaders, there is always the specter hovering in the background that hinges on the concept of justification. Why, for example, are X number of dollars going to this or that position or what is the reason for the addition of a new position? The implication is always, really, that the reason for spending taxpayer money must be compelling. At least that is, or should be, the rule. Yet all too oken decisions to spend money, or create a position, occur with little taxpayer notice or in haste by elected leaders. The recent vote, though, by the La Grande City Council to fund a new police oKcer slot is a good example of an elected board making a solid decision that is actually an investment in the future. Yet what should always be remembered when funding issues for fire or police arrive is that there really isn't a"price tag" on community safety. Or shouldn't be. Protecting the community is and always will be one of the few non-negotiable items local lawmakers must both come to terms with — and hence find methods address the issue — or quit. Community safety should be, always, a No. 1 priority. It is never easy for local lawmakers — who face dwindling budgets with growing financial obligations — to make hard decisions regarding revenue priorities. No matter how they vote, it seems, there will be a backlash of some sort from someone. Still, it is hard to argue — unless one is standing on the outer edges of the lunatic fringe — against creating ways to enhance community safety. Yes, an added police oKcer will certainly cost taxpayers money. However, the long-term gain — in terms of providing another key linchpin in community safety — will be significant. The La Grande City Council made a good decision last week. Surely it will reap criticism but, hopefully, its members will also be lauded for doing the right thing for the community.

Your views Blanchard: Commissioners are just slow learners

Write to us

To the Editor: I am not a fanof the conceptof term limits even when people of my political persuasion are not holding positions of power and filling decision-making roles. Term limits, to me, have a chilling effect on free and open elections. On the other hand, the only reason I can seelong periods oftim edesired by commissioners is that it is needed to become fully integrated into the "good ol' boys network" that pretty much bars newcomers from entry into the political system here. I acknowledge that county governments are complex and dynamic environments. Yet, in the complex and dynamic environments of private enterprise, no executive would be given eight years or more to figure out the lay of the land and how to do one's job. While the incumbent commissioners — Steve McClure and Mark Davidson — say that much time is needed to be effective, I just think they are slow learners. Why do we put up with this?

Murphy-Rogers: Pot smokers productive members of society To the Editor: It is so true that we have many people here that are business owners, lawyers, teachers and many more that smoke cannabis. They are productive members of ourcommunity and have been doing so for many years. These same people go to work every day anddo a greatjob.Iam sure everyone in this town is either sitting next to or is working with people that use m arijuana regularly and you don'tknow because they are not the stereotype that one would want you to believe. We the people voted to legalize marijuana. When will we be heard by our vote? Or is our vote only a thing we do becauseitisw hatwe are to doforno reason? Our country makes criminals out ofitspeople even afterw ethepeople have said what we want to be done. The money that would go to our schools and county is tremendous as other states have proven.

Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division Troopers out of Enterprise soon became aware that Willis had unlawfully killed the bull elkand began a three-month investigation into the crime, accordingto the release. As a result of the investigation, the elk antlers, which scored 319 on the Boone and Crockett system, the elk meat and the bow that Willis used to unlawfully kill the bull elk were subsequently seized. At the conclusion of the lengthy investigation, which included the use of DNA evidence, Willis was cited in early February 2015 for taking elk without a valid elk tag and second-degree criminal trespass. Willis was sentenced Wednesday by Judge Russell West in Wallowa County Circuit Court. As part of Willis' sentence, his hunting privileges were suspended for three years, and he was placed on 24 months of supervisedprobation,during which time he is prohibited from possessing any firearms

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN fire would race up the tree like a fireworks display, except without the percussive explosions. It was hot. I was dirty. My shoulders ached. My hands were sore. My boots were too tight. I was hungry, thirsty and a long way from home. I thought it could get no worse. I was wrong. About then, as I led the 10-man crew digging the trail, I swung the hoe into virgin soil. I heard a buzzing sound that progressively grew in volume. Soon they were on me. "Bees," I cried. "Hornets," a more scientifically

trainedco-worker corrected,before launching into a cussing diatribe neverbefore recorded in the annals of science. I started to beat a hasty retreat, only to find myself in a footrace with nine other guys hellbent on survival and more proficient than I at nonstandard English expressions of frustration and anguish. By the time we reached safety, my vocabulary had grown considerably — as had the swelling on my left cheek. Yes, theone I siton. Soon, the other firefighters were yelling at me for provoking the bees. "Hornets," Mr. Science said. "It's dark. They live in the ground. We dig in the ground," I said, gettingdefensive.

Still, the other crew members continued to give me hell. "A crew leader should not lead his men into harm's way," one said, a bit huffIly. "Technically, I'm not the crew leader," I said."I just happened to be leading at the time of the incident.

ELGIN — The Elgin Stampede grounds were converted into an Oregon Department of Forestry Incident Command Center last week where upwards of 500 firefighters were initially being fed by the Snake River Correctional Institution's food service inmate crew. Mitch Hill, food service coordinator at the Snake River Correctional Institution of Ontario and his 20-member inmate crew started setting up their kitchen and dining area at the Elgin Stampede Grounds on 9:30 a.m. Aug. 2. According to Billie Hopkins, incident business adviser for the Umatilla, Malheur and WallowaWhitman national forests, the SRCI crew is on the list of regional catering services available for this kind of work on short notice.

Cove cherry growers initially launched cherry festival in 1911 Observer staff

COVE — Thisweekend in Cove,the annual celebrationofthecherry takes place atthe Cove Cherry Fair — and some festivities hearken back to the first one held. The fair has a long history in the Grande Ronde Valley, dating back to 1911 when the first one was held. According to an article written by W. R. Gekeler, the Cherry Fair was started and promoted by cherry growers and the Cove Commercial Club. One of the event's first promotional stunts, accordingto the article,wasa caravan ofall available cars of the district visiting all the towns in the valley, giving a short program and inviting all to attend. During that first year, the program began with parade a ofbands, floatsand decorated rigs followed by the crowning of the festival king and queen.

The music for this event was furnished by the band and chorus drilled and led by A.A. Antles, according to the article. During most years of the Cherry Fair, the governor was present to speak, and one year Joaquin Miller, a writer and poet, came to the event. The Cherry Fair also had a program of sports with a baseball game included, and the event usually ended with a big dance for the community at the end of the night. The Methodist Church patrons offered fried chicken with cherry pie for $1 a plate. For those in the community who lived outsideofCove,thetrain offered specialtimes so that anyone who wanted to attend the event could do so. According to the article, in 1898, Cove was the "garden spot" of the Grande Ronde Valley and thegrowers shipped 100 carsoffruit annually.

"This campaign is sending a message to the billionaire class — yes, we have the courage to take you on," he said. On Saturday Sanders spoke to a packed audience

Sanders eventually left the Saturday afternoon event at Seattle's Westlake Park without giving his speech. Sanders heads to an event in Los Angeles on Monday.

Trump defends record on women as rivals pile on By Jill Colvin The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon, so his rivals are scrambling to figure out how best to handle the blowback from every new bout of bluster drowning out their campaigns. Lead the charge, if you're the sole woman in the Republicans'White House race and trying to crack the top tier for the next debate, by questioning Trump's ability to withstand the pressure of the presidency. Belittle Trump's claim to be a truth-teller by arguing that self-promotion is the billionaire's guiding philosophy. Warn that Trump's provocative comments about women endanger the party's standing with a group that makes up the majority of voters. Or simply plead for the incessant Trump questioning to cease so that other candidates can get on with the business of why they're running. Thesearesome ofthe varied approaches of the other 16 Republican candidates fighting for attention and breathing room in a primary field eclipsed by Trump. On Sunday, he was back, splashed across the weekend news shows, dismissing the latest firestorm to consume his campaign and explaining how he cherishes women and wouldbe theirstrongestadvocateif elected."I'm leading by double digits, so maybe I shouldn't change," he boasted. The latest controversy started Thursday nightwhen Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly recounted Trump's history of incendiary comments toward women. Angry over what he considered unfair treatment at the debate, Trump told CNN on Friday night that Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." The remark cost Trump a prime-time speaking slot at the RedState Gathering, the Atlanta conference where several other presidential candidates spoke to about 1,000 conservative activists.

"I apologize when I'm wrong but I haven't been wrong. I said nothing wrong." — DonaldTrump, 2016 presidential hopeful

But Trump refused to back down, insisting Sunday that only"a deviant" would interpret his comment beyond a harmless

barb. "I apologize when I'm wrong, but I haven't been wrong. I said nothing wrong," said Trump, who spoke to four Sunday news shows, skipping only Fox News, the network with which he is feuding. The flap is just the latest from Trump's unconventional, insurgent campaign, which has excited many anti-establishment conservatives while confounding party leaders alreadyfacing the prospectsofa bruising fight among 17 candidates. Some haveresponded by sharpening their critiques, questioning Trump's electability, his conservative credentials, policy ideas and personality. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina,the only woman running fortheGOP nomination, appeared most adept atseizing on the comments as she strives to break into the top 10. "I think women of all kinds are really sort ofhorrified by this," she said, arguing that therewas a difference between being politically incorrect and insulting. She also questioned Trump's suitability for office, suggesting the businessman may be unprepared for the pressure that comes with being president. "I think you cannot have a president who is thin-skinned. If you think a question is tough, imagine the pressure of actually being in the Oval Office," she said. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a frequent Trump critic, went after Trump's temperament and a muddled record filled with contradictory statements. "I don't think we should reward vulgarity. And I don't think vulgarity equates with insight," he said.

Steep mountain climbs. Laborious straight stretches. Crazy-high elevations. Little tonosleepfor a day and a half. First-time relay runners and seasoned veterans. It all added up to a positive inaugural Elkhorn Relay. '%ay better than we expected, especially for our first year," Doomsday Racing Treasurer Summer Steele said. Doomsday's first-ever relay race not only went smoothly, but was well received by members of the 13 teams that took part, with many complimenting the race's challenges, beauty

and structure. "It was a lot of fun," Benton City, Washington, runner John Pace said. "I've run a lot of races but nothing like this. It's basically a marathon distance, but with breaks in between....The volunteers were all really good, everything was set up really well. All the teams were a lot of fun." Steelesaid she had received a lotof positive feedback. "So far we've heard really good things," she said.'They loved the scenery, they loved the challenge of the steep hills, iandl they liked just the overall idea of it, that it is in the mountains." When it was all said and done, team Ridge to Rivers came away as the overall racechampion, clocking atw oday time of 28 hours, 29 minutes and

Cruz tied Angels star Mike Trout for most homers in the majors this season.Hernandez i14-6listied for the most wins in the big leagues. "I'm glad he's on our side," King Felix said.

He has gotten an extra-base hit in nine straight games, one behind the Cruz extended his hitting streak to 19 team record set by Ken Griffey Jr. games, tying a career best, with his solo in 1993.

Miller enjoys resounding success A quartet of swimmers from the La Grande Swim Club competed at the Arena Western Zone Senior Championships July 29 through Aug. 2 in Clovis, California. Against some of the best swimmers in the West Jared Miller had a number of top finishes, including taking 12th in the 200-meter backstroke (2 minutes, 12.45 seconds) and 20th in the 100 backstroke (1:02.45).

uccessful. That word could easily sum up the opinion of those who took part in the inaugural Elkhorn Relay. The race brought 13 teams to the Grande Ronde Valley for the two-day event. And immediately, the vibe from coordinators, sponsors and racers alike was that the folks at Doomsday Racing may have something special on their hands. Probably the two most discussed items amongst those I chatted with or overheard were the challenge of the raceand the effortsofthe volunteers. Runners who had never attemptedrelays beforeand who had been to several were alike commenting on the difficulties the 36 different legs of the race brought. 'They're not even close to the same thing,"Ashley Toutain, who has run several half-marathons, said when asked how the relay and the half compare."For a halfmarathon, you are focusing on one 13-mile stretch. iForl this, you have three different setsthat add up tolike25 miles."

Bucs lock up Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $50.25 million on Sunday, according to sources. The new deal will include $25 million in guaranteed money, sources said. David is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and the Bucs have made it clear all along they wanted to keep him for the long term. A second-round pick in 2012, David has been selected to the All-Pro team, but has not made a Pro Bowl.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said."Frank's talent and charisma on the field and on the air were important elements in the growth and popularity of the modern NFL."

DORY'S DIARY

ASumptuousTaKeOnStrawderryPie Anne Cusack/LosAngelesTimes-TNS

Vintage strawberry pie made by pastry chef Roxana Jullapat.

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

When cars were still newfangled A friend has told me that her son would like to have a jaguar. What came to my mind was the sleek long lines of a crouching black animal ready to spring on its victim, its yellow fangs showing as its lips were pulled back into a snarl. Now why would he want one of those? immediately came to mind. Knowing the young man as a city businessman, I discarded the idea. No, it wouldn't be an animal, so it must a car. A Christmas present idea, perhaps, a graduation or birthday gift, a wedding present? Since I'm not into cars other than having one in which to ride or drive, to watchfor atintersections,to see one coming up the street and then turning around in front of me to take my planned parking spot in town, or looking at displays in the show windows, I don't know one type of car from another. Ilearned a lotm ore about cars last fall when my 1986 vehicle finally needed a lot more than just seasonal upkeep. After treating me so kindly all these years, I found that car upkeep can be very expensive and keeps you wondering how to get around while it is in the garage being repaired. Still, it was far less expensive having parts replaced than in looking for another used car, and a brand-new one was out of the question. Besides, as my youngest son put it, "Mom, you can still roll your own windows up and down in this one." Yes, I like the feeling of control over rolling down my own car windows and I'm cautious over the power control out of my own control with the push of a button. Call me old-fashioned if you like, for that's what I am. I don't mind. It's what I grew up with and not necessarily a change that seems important to my own well-being. Between my old car and the desire for a new, sleek animal of a car, lies a whole generation. The thoughtofeven my own car with its limitations brings to my mind the mental picture of the first car in which I ever sat. Mind you, I didn't say rode in or drove — I said "sat." You see, as a child, getting around was by walking, rarely by any other way than on horseback, horse and wagon, or rare ride in one of those newfangled noisy things on wheels that were coming to town and being shown off in windows at the car companies downtown. Mostly we used the power of our own legs to get from one place to another. Even when I was in high school there were very few students who drove a car and there was no student parking lot as such. Most families by that time had just one car, the family car for hauling thingsor for shorttripstogether out of town. Eventually the new cars wore out, were replaced, or were dumped from lack of use. I was probably around eight years of age when I "sat" in my first car. Our town was situated along the edge of the hillside, then stretching out into the valley. My cousin's home was constructed just at the bottom of the hill's slope with their acreage property reaching up the hillside to where the dirt road wound its way on up into the hills. This unused area above their house grew high with early fall weeds on the day my cousins and I went out to play. Among theweeds we found the body frame of an old car, rusting and open to the weather with no top. Even the isinglass windows hung in tatters. SeeDorylPage 2B

By Noelle Carter Los Angeles Times

"This time of year, I really like to make things that don't require a lot of oven time. There's so much great fruit around, you don't need to do much to show it off a says pastry chef Roxana Jullapat. She's just arrived at the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen, a box of strawberries tucked under her arm. The tender berries, from Harry's Berries at the Santa Monica farmers market, are avibrant shade ofred;their fragrance fills the kitchen. "It's a perfect,easy pie dough. Ready when you need it," she says, gathering a few simple ingredients to make the dough — flour, salt and sugar — and combining them in a large bowl. Salt adds flavor, she explains; sugar adds tenderness but also color as the crust bakes. "The most crucial thing is the butter. Keep itcold,"Jullapat stressesas shewalks over tothe refiigeratorto retrieve a couple of sticks. She cuts the butter into small cubes, then tosses them into the bowl, coating each piece. 'This helps to keep the pieces from sticking together as they're worked." She breaks the butter into the mixture using her fingertips. Where many recipes call for cutting the butter down to pea-sized pieces, Jullapat likes a mixture of sizes, though nothing too big. 'Your pie dough should never be uniform. There should be an unevenness to it. Don't overwork it." She then forms a well in the center of the mixture, to which she adds a little ice water, using open hands to mix the dough until a handful clumps together.

Chill the dough — this step is important — at least 30 minutes and up to a couple of days. Or freeze it for up to two weeks. This way"you can keep ahead on your pie dough," Jullapat says, smiling."See the marbling and striping?" Jullapat asks after the dough is chilled."This indicates the butter was not overworked into the dough. You want to see this." Every few rolls, Jullapat moves the dough slightly, checking to make sure it doesn't stick. Once it's thin enough, Jullapat cuts the dough, using an invertedpie tin asa guideand cutting about 1 inch around the outer rim. To fit the dough in the tin, she rolls the circle over the rolling pin, then unwraps it over the pan, trims the excess and crimps the edges. "See how quicldy I'm working? The dough gets soft so quickly." She'll chill the dough again for an hour before baking the crust. "The most important thing I'm going to do today: blind baking," explains Jullapat, greasing the dough and lining it with a parchment circle before weighting the shell with dried beans. She bakes the shell until it is golden and done throughout. aWith such great strawberries, simply stem and halve them." She uses some of the berries to make a quick jam, which she tosseswith the berriesin a large bowl. The gelatin in the jam will holdtheberriestogether. She gently packs the berries by the handful into the shell. "Make sure every nook and cranny is filled." Jullapat smiles as she slices into the pie."So, that's it! It's the easiest, quickest pie of the summer."

VINTAGESTRAWBERRY PIE 1 hour, plus chilling time. Serves 8 PIE CRUST 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into "/4-inch cubes "/4 cup ice water, more if needed 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Add the butter cubes and toss them in the flour to coat. Using your fingertips, progressively separate the butter into smaller pieces while tossing them back into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. 2. Make a well in the center and drizzle over 4 tablespoons of water. If too dry, add additional water, a tablespoon at a time. Combine and shape into a ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap with plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 3. When ready to shape the pie shell, flour a working surface generously and roll the dough with a rolling pin until it's very thin — about "/4 inch thick. Cut a dough circle large enough to fit into a 9-inch pie pan — don't forget to account for an extra half inch of dough to crimp a decorative edge. Lightly coat the pie tin with nonstick spray and lay the dough circle inside the tin. Gather the excess dough around the edges and crimp as desired. Refrigerate the pie shell for at least one hour or up to two days. 4. Set an oven rack to the middle position, and heat the oven to 350 degrees. To pre-bake the pie shell, coat it lightly with nonstick spray, line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or rice to weigh down the dough and prevent it from puffing while in the oven. Bake for 30

minutes, carefully lift the parchment circle to remove the beans and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until it's a deep golden brown. Take out of the oven and set aside to cool completely. STRAWBERRYPIE 6 cups strawberries, halved 2 tablespoons port wine, creme de cassis or framboise 1"/2 teaspoons gelatin powder Pinch kosher salt 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup sugar 1 vanilla bean 1. While the pie shell is baking, start working on the strawberry sauce. Puree 2 cups of the strawberries in a blender until completely liquefied. Add the port, gelatin powder, salt and cornstarch, and blend for another minute. 2. Put sugar in a mediumsized, heavy-bottomed pot and add about "/2 cup of water just to moisten the sugar. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a pairing knife, scrape out the pulp with the back of the knife, and put the pulp and the pod into the pot. Cook over high heat without stirring until the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it reduce until it resembles a thick syrup. Add the strawberry puree and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes while stirring constantly; the mixture will be thick. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool to room temperature. 3. Gently toss the rest of the strawberries with the cooled strawberry mixture until they're all evenly covered. Add the strawberry filling in the prepared shell so it makes a mound in the middle, packing it lightly with your hand so the strawberries sticktogether. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

As I trapped and trapped all last summer I vowed thatis what I would do. Well, I did and got some and with the"hot shot" sprayknocked some outin the greenhouse so I was set for an easier summer. So much for that. I am again trappinghundreds ofhornets and wasps. Years ago Jackie Gulzow told me about using apple juice in the traps that call for water and an attractant.

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

Deadheadingis such a cruel-sounding terminology, butit's a technique that is most commonly used to coax prolonged bloom times in perennial flowers. The necessary process in many cases maintains the health of the plant for next season's bloom. M ost gardeners willagree thatif we know why we are encouragedto perform ajob, we're more inclined to do the job. That said, here are some reasons for keeping your perennials in good condition.

Leafy plants What to look for: Plants thathave leavesallalong the flower stalks with flowers at theends ofthestalks. Examples: Salvia, Shasta daisy, yarrow,astilbeand bee balm What to do: These plants require a two-step cutting backprocess.First,cutfaded flowers off to the next good set of flower stalk leaves. In about two or three weeks, leaves on the flower stalks will start to look sickly. When that happens, cut the entire flower stalk down to the base. Why? Snipping off flowers allows the stalks to remain and provide structure and height to the ganfen. Removing the flower stalks entirely when they look sickly gives energy to lush, green foliage at the bottom of the flower stalks. Some flowering plants may bloom again in the fall.

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

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

Regular bloomers What to look for: Plants that bloom almost continuously overalongperiod oftim e. Examples: Scabiosa, knatia, gaillardia and echinacea What to do: Continuously cut back the dead flowers to the next set of flower buds on the flower stalk or branch ifor a shrub). Feed these perenni-

flower heads offdown to a goodsetofleaves;neverleave a stub. Why? Removing spent flowersdirectsenergy backinto the plants and gives them a neater, deaner appearance.

Spent perennials

What to look for: Perennials finish blooming then become rangy and are full of spent Foliage-rich flowers flowers. Examples: Catmint, Crater What to look for: Perennials Lake blue speedwell, lamium that bear their flowers at the and Silver Mound artemesia top oftheplantand havelots ofgood,strong foliage. What to do: Cut plants back Examples: Foxglove, peren- severely 4y 50 percent or nial phlox, Autumn joy sedum, morel and feed. peony, Russian sage and Why? Cutting back, then feeding, forcestheplantto Sweet William regrow a new crown or foliage, What to do: Cut faded

AUGUST 16

What to look for: Grassy plants in bloom or about to bloom. Examples: Ornamental grasses What to do: Allow these grasses to stand through most of the winter. Cut them down in late winter or early spring. Why? Many grasses bloom in late summer and fall. Don't cutofftheattractiveblooms that are emerging and it will continue to be attractive into winter.

round interest and beneficial insect shelter if allowed to stand through fall and winter. All perennials need some sort of maintenance during the season,even iftheprocess m ight create some design problems. When I cut back the spent catmint flowers, I feel I have denuded that area. It helps the eye adjust to the sparseness by moving over a piece of garden art or adding a container of annuals. It helps if you anticipate there being a gap afte rcutting back some of your perennials. Make notes and plan ahead for next year by planting something near the same area that will bloom later.

DORY Continued from Page 1B Feeling adventurous, we climbed into the iron hulk and turned the wheel this away and that away, pretending that we were speeding down the street. When that got old, our attention turned to the iron stick coming out of the floor boards between the rotting leather seat. It turned out to be the brake when one of the older cousins worked it, and the car gave a lurch. Of course, half-buried, it couldn't roll down the slope, but the unexpected jerk scared us all. I imagine we girls gave a fiightened squeal, for immediately my Uncle was hovering over us and shooing us away from the rusty but enticing plaything. We needed no encouragem ent and fi guredwe were in trouble. After we had all scrambled out and he had readjusted the brake, my Uncle Oren turned to look at us and said quietly, "Don't play on this. You might get hurt." That was all he said, but we never went close to it again and eventually the old car was hauled away. Eventually, too, the hillside slopeproperty was sold with city streets dividing the hillside slope into blocks and the blocks into lots, and now landscaped homes replace that spot in my memory. Between that crumbling leatherseat toasit" on, and the thought of something called a jaguar to zoom around in, is my middle-ofthe-road car that fits me just fine.

Bare-stalk flowers What to look for: Plants that produce their flowers on the ends oflong, bale flower stalks. Examples: Daylilies, hosta, iris, lungwort and primrose What to do: Cut the flower stalks to the base within the crown when the last flower on the stalk has finished blooming. Don't leave a stub.

Tissfor turningheirloomtomatoesintotas ishes Add salt, pepper and vinegar to the vegetable mixture and let marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Add basil and puree in a food processor or blender. Serve slightly chilled, with some colorful cherry tomatoes and a swirl of extra virgin olive oil.

ByAndrea Weigl The News IIr Observer (Raleigh

N.C.)

Craig LeHoullier is in his element among the potted vegetable jungle in his North Raleigh, N.C. driveway. Each tomato in LeHoullier's hands sparks a story: the Speckled Roman with not just stripes but"tiger stripes," the Dester tomato, which is "oneofthe besttomatoes I've ever eaten," the Viva Lindsey Kentucky Heirloom that was given as a wedding present. "To think of a tomato variety as a wedding present is really something," LeHoullier says. LeHoullier, known as the N.C. Tomato Man, has been spreading his heirloom tomatogospelforyears.H e's responsible for naming and saving the Cherokee Purple tomato,asw ellaspromoting other heirloom varieties, such as Mexican Midget and Lillian's Yellow Heirloom, and spearheading an effort to developdozens ofdwarf tomatovarieties. LeHoullier is also wellknown for his annual Tom atopalooza tomato tasting events, which he organized in the area for a decade. In the height of tomato season, itseemed appropriatetoseek advice and recipe suggestions from LeHoullier on the best way to use and preserve this summer's tomato bounty. Late last year, LeHoullier, 59, turned his three decades' worth of gardening and seed-savingexperience into a book, "Epic Tomatoes." The gardening book from Storey Publishing has gone into a second printing. LeHoullier has been traveling the country on a book tour, speaking at a Seed Savers Exchange conference and other gardener gatherings. Standing in his driveway, holding a basket full of red, purple, pink and green tomatoes, LeHoullier says he hopes his efforts do more than bring in a bountiful crop. "Igrow apretty cool garden," LeHoullier said."I'd be happyif I can grow some future gardeners.

(If you're going dress the pasta within a couple of hours, leave the pesto at room temperature. Refrigerate if you'll use it within two days, but let it return to room temperature before cooking the pasta.) To cook the spaghetti, heat 6 quarts of water to the boil in the large pot. Scrape all the pesto into a big warm bowl. Cook the spaghetti al dente, lift it from the cooking pot, drain briefly, and drop onto the pesto. Toss quickly to coat the spaghetti, sprinkle the cheese all over, and toss again. Serve immediately in warm bowls. Yield: 3-4 servings.

N.C. TOMATO MAN'S 4 WAYS WITH TOMATOES

3 cups vegetable stock 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large sweet onion, peeled, diced 1 large sweet bell pepper, stems, ribs and seeds removed, diced 3 stalks celery, trimmed and diced 2 carrots, peeled and cut into Winch cubes 1 cup whole grain farro (or spelt), picked over for impurities and rinsed 4 cups (1 quart) diced tomatoes 1bay leaf 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 2 teaspoons salt (teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon chile powder hteaspoon cayenne pepper 1 large zucchini, trimmed and cut into Winch cubes 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup frozen corn kernels hcup chopped fresh parsley leaves Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste

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

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

• Make salsa: Chop 1 green onion 4oth white and green parts) per each diced tomato. Add minced hot chile pepper, salt, pepper, olive oil and sherry vinegar to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings. LeHoullier likes to make what he calls "stoplight salsa" using green tomatoes to make a mild salsa with the least amount ofhot peppers, yellow tomatoes with medium heat and red tomatoes with the most heat. He likes to serve the salsa with nacho chips, spooned over grilled or sauteed fish or added to omelets. • Roasting: Preheat oven to300 degrees.Fill a large, deep roasting pan with quartered tomatoes, 1 peeled, chopped sweet onion, 1 chopped sweet red pepper (seeds stem and ribs removed)and 1peeled garlic clove. Sprinkle with salt, pepperand olive oil.Roastfor two to three hours, stirring vegetablesevery 45 minutes, until roasted to the texture you prefer. This mixture can be frozen in zip-top plastic bags to use later. Serve with pasta and cheese,over steamed zucchini or as a layeringsauce foreggplant Parmesan.

black pepper, chile powder and cayenne, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring, until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the stock, 2 cups at a time, as the previous addition is absorbed, cooking and stirring. After last 2 cups are added, add zucchini, peas and corn.
