As national resources are being exhausted, Brett Dunten, Riverbend's fire instructor and crew boss, says the Oregon Youth Authority can offer more resources for the government's toolbelt. cThe kids like being out here," Dunten said."The more fires, the m ore servi ce,the more reform w ork and the more giving back to the community." One of the goals for training the youth as firefighters is to keep others safe. The 14 members of the hand crew are currently doing just that as they have joined a larger crew to fight the 80-acre Merry-Go-Round Fire located near Catherine Creek. The fire was 80 percent contained as of Monday morning. This is not the first fire the Riverbend crew has worked this season.

PORTLAND — The intense wildfire season ravaging the West and taxing fire crews and equipment to their limits is the new normal, the chief of the U.S. Forest Service said last week at a fire site in Eastern Oregon. The statement came as Chief Tom Tidwell visited the scene of the Canyon Creek Complex Fire south of Canyon City that burned 36 homes last week, damaged 50 structures and burned more than 48,200 acres. Nationwide, 26,000 firefighters were battling blazes, including 8,500 in the Northwest. Talks were underway to bring in fire management personnel from Australia and New Zealand. Fireoffi cialsreported at least 35 large active wildfires burningWednesday in Oregon and Washington, where three firefighters were killed and three to four more were See Normal / Page5A

Imen Oin awSIii • Oregon Cattlemen's Association joins suit against proposed EPA %0TUS' rule vs

Cattlemen throughout Eastern Oregon and the rest of the country have plenty to be concerned about if a proposed U.S. Environmental Protection Association rule on water management is adopted. That's the word from Curtis Martin, a lifelong cattleman and owner of VP Ranch in North Powder as well as land in Union County. Martin is water resources committee chairman of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association. The proposed Clean Water Rule builds on the 1972 Clean Water Act and contains a definition of theawaters of the United States" — becoming known as WOTUS — that defines more clearly which bodies of water qualify for Environmental Protection Agency protections. The proposed rule has drawn the ire of powerful agriculture and development groups nationwide, who argue the ruleistoo broad and could impact how they do business. OCA has joined a lawsuit filed by Pacific Legal Foundation against the EPA and its WOTUS rule. The association believes that the proposed rule'sbroad language has the potential to deprive landowners of the right to manage water on their own property. Martin said he hopes OCA's action will cause the agency to think twice about what it is trying to regulate. "This rule will impact our ability to manage the local watersheds. Each watershed is different, and nobody knows the watershed better than local landowners," Martin said. "There is a continual march toward a centralized regulatory system," he noted."An extreme preservationist

The association believes that the proposed rule's broad language has the potential to deprive landowners of the right to manage water on their own property. philosophy is rampant in this administration. We must continue to try to get local knowledge and wisdom ofhow local waters work." Others echo the sentiment. Douglas County rancher Nathan Jackson saidOregon ranchers already practice responsible water usage. "Every day, ranchers in Oregon are working to protect the quality and quantityofwaterwe depend on — and that everybody in the state depends on," Jackson said, "by being more efficient with our irrigation systems, by making sure that we are applying fertilizers at appropriate rates, by making sure that we're managing runoff that enters the streams and by being good stewards of the land." He added,"This rule directly affects our producers' abilitiestobeprofitable and sustainable and our job as the OCA is to protect them, advocate for them and make sure that they're able to conduct their business without cumbersome regulation." Sharon Livingston, a rancher from

Grant County, believes EPA's rule overstepstherightsofresidents.She said she's pleased to see OCA working to protect ranchers. "EPA is usurping Oregon's right to manage water in a sustainable way for the benefit of the state's citizens," she said."I tistim e to takethefederal governmenttotask foroverstepping their authority." Twenty-seven states already have suits pending against the WOTUS rule, according to OCA Executive Director Jerome Rosa. He said he is optimisticthat the agency willbeforced to reconsider. "The WOTUS rule in its current state should be withdrawn due to lack of quality assessment and biased rulemaking process," he said. awe hope that the EPA will rescind the rule and rewrite it with input from the industry and all stakeholder groups," said Jackson, the Douglas County rancher."Clarification from the existing rule is definitely needed. This new rule doesn't clarify anything."

QUOTE OFTHE DAY

BAKER CITY — A Portland marijuana entrepreneur with local roots aims to changelocalideasand perceptions about marijuana business. In spite of a local ban of all marijuana-related businesses by both the Baker County and City governments, 36 year-old Blue Ontiveros hopes to start a marijuana grow operation and a dispensary in Baker City. Ontiveros is working with a team ofinvestors and his business partner, Matthew Chambers, to open marijuana businesses in Baker City. He has been consulting with lawyers, local community members and local public officials with plans to contact more to explore ways to ease the marijuana industry into Baker City. Ontiveros thinks he has a "solid plan" for a recreational and medical marijuana dispensary that would work well in the community of Baker City. Additionally, Ontiveros is exploring the purchase of a warehouse in an industrially zoned part of town. It would house a marijuana growing and processing facility. Part ofhis plan to ease the apprehension the community might have regarding a dispensary in town includes reservinga spacein itforthe city police. They11 have keys to the building. "I have no intention of setting up a cannabis business in this area without first consulting with the chief of police and the sheriff a Ontiveros said. Ontiveros grew up in Baker County on a small ranch and loves the area. His family moved to Portland when he was 16. He plans to move back to Baker City in October and to raise a family here with his finacee. Like most people, Ontiveros wants to raise a family in a safe

hipster campaign is using the tagline: "Pendleton is handmade every day." "I think that tourism in Pendleton and Umatilla County is the largest underutilized economic engine that we got," said Pat Beard, head of Travel Pendleton. The town draws plenty of tourists to the annual Pendleton Round-Up rodeo, and other events bring overnight guests. Most recently, nearly 5,800 people went to a motorcycle rally in July. But tourism advocates say more can be done to bring money to local businesses.

Pendleton is within a 3.5-hour drive of about 7.5 million people, including Seattle, Beard said,and 12,000 drivers pass Pendleton on Interstate 84 each day. But no advertising asks them to stop in the city. awe need to capture our potential year-round," he said.

LOCAL BRIEFING From stag reports

healthclinicisunderconstruction

GRA registration still Bingo games set in

By Tiish Yerges ForThe Observer

ELGIN — Grande Ronde Hospital officials announced Saturday that a modular building will go up while the new Elgin health clinic is under construction. At an interactive public meeting held at the Elgin Depot, consulting firm Westby Associates Inc., presented the results of a feasibility study about the proposed clinic on behalf of the Elgin Health District. Presenter Michael Wilson of Westby Associatessaid thatthe 72interviews that were conducted in the study were designed to gather feedback on Elgin Health District's mission vision, priorities and funding gaps. The feedback included potential financial support to build a new health clinic in Elgin. During the interviewing, Wilson identified four issues that needed addressing. The first one was about the relationship of the Grande Ronde Hospital and the Elgin Health District. Grande Ronde Hospital President and CEO Jim Mattes offered a clarification. ''We're really excited to be back in the community, excited to be owning and operating the clinic iservicesl, but not owning the building," Mattes said.'We're not interested in owning the building or any other real estate for that matter. Our goal here is to provide the best possible servicesand to expand and bring services into the community based on need. We've alreadyrecruited another provider,and she11 be here in October for some orientation. But by the first of the year, I think we11 be able to alleviate some of the backlog with appointments." Mattes explained that until the new clinic buildingis opened, more than the existing buildingis needed in the interim. 'The other issue that is really critical for your community is that we're kind of stuck where we are with that existing building," Mattes said.'You may or may not know that construction won't start on your new clinic until summer of 2016.Ifthattakes ayearito construct), you're looking at two years for that new clinic tobe opened and for servicesto be available to the community. That's really not very acceptable to the community to be limited by or bound by that existing

0 coura e If anyone held questions regarding the men and women who make up the current generation ofindividuals entrusted with the protection of the nation those doubts certainly evaporated this past weekend. The act that occurred to illustrate dearly that our young people tasked with standing on the walls of Democracy did not occur inAmerica but instead in France, on a train. By now most are most likely familiar with the story of our three young Americans — including two members of the Armed Forces — who stepped in and stopped a gunman on a train in Belgium. The 26-year-old gunman was armed with an automatic rifle. Three Americans — U.S. Airman Spencer Stone along with Oregon Army National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, a civiliansteppedup and subdued the gunman and then administered first aid to at least one injured passenger. What these three young men did goes beyond the simple notion of a good deed. What their efforts symbolize is that sometimes the courage to act is the most valuable asset of all. That two of these young men are serving members of the Armed Forces should also show that this newest generation to take up the mantle of service are as worthy as those who gave so much on distant battlefields of our collective past. In short, perhaps, every generation that decides to give back to the nation and state is a"greatest generation." That one of the members who stepped up and helped subdue the gunman is a member of the OregonArmy NationalGuard probably isn'ta surprise to most Eastern Oregon readers but may be something of a notable fact to others. In places like Eastern Oregon, where its Guard unit is well-known and an organization that endured two combat tours of duty in Iraq, the fact that an Army Guardsman acted in such a selfless way is almost what is expected. The local Guard unit, the 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment, is now doing high-intensity training exercises in the Mojave Desert at the U.S. Army's National Training Center. Skarlatos' actions are just one more reminder, one more symbol of the kind of individual our Army National Guard produces and cultivates. In short, the young men and women who are members of the military and the Guard are for the most part the absolute best we can produce. As such they accomplish diKcult tasks and do extraordinary deeds such as subdue gunmen on crowded trains. Most of what they do on a regular basis — such as training for three weeks on the Mojave Desert — tends to be unnoticed. Events such as the commuter train in Belgium, rightfully, secure the limelight. Yet one must remember that men and women of our armed forces, including the Guard, achieve diKcult goals and overcome challenges on a regular basis that are never publicized. The actions by the three young Americans in Europe on a train should be, and are, shining examples of courage, determination and grit, and they deserve every single bit of praise thrown their direction.

Your views Rosenbaum: Citizens need to

think about term limits

Write to us

To the Editor: I'm glad to see that Union County citizens together with Commissioner Jack Howard have got the term-limit ball rolling. Last election time with Gov. John Kitzhaber's scandal mushrooming and the Shelter From the Storm fiasco just beginning to fade in the rearview, I suggestedin a lettertotheeditor that we should limit the term in office for the governor and county commissioners. A governor should be limited by amendment to Oregon's Constitution to two terms in total and enjoined from runningagainfortheoffi ce even though more than one cycle has intervened between elections. At the time, I noted the common phrase "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." This was borne out as the governor's troubles expanded. I should admit here that I voted for John Kitzhaber, reluctantly, because the other candidate was not suitable. I would like to see our legislators present a term-limit amendment in the next session and then refer ittothe people. Idon'tbelieve atthecounty levelcorruption is the issue. The problem is that with extended terms commissioners get toocomfortablein theirjobsand become more like employees than elected officials, drawing big salaries — comparedtootherlocaljobs.They establish personal power fiefdoms and can be guilty — such as the shelter issue and the Wallowa Union Railroad Authority management agreement — of sloppinessin consideration ofalternatives and accounting. So I would like to see the following on the ballot: individuals running for commissioner can serve two terms only, whether they be consecutive or not. If an incumbent has been in office for two terms or more, when the ballot measure takes effect, they may run for office for one additional term only. If an incumbent has been in office for one term, when the ballot measure takes effect, they may run for an additional two terms only. I hope Union County citizens will think about these issues, dialogue with

Swart: Letter puts light on gun violence problem To the Editor: Thank you for printing the letter from Fred Moore about guns and freedom. As I first read it, I thought that this is really a good idea. It shows everyone the irresponsible, insensitive, non-thinking and crass mentality of the National Rifle Association. I couldn't imagine that anyone would actually believe that freedom is tied to having an armed populace and that"a few hundred, or thousand, people being killed with firearms is just the price we have to pay to be the exceptional country we are." Now that I re-read the letter again, I can see that I missed the tongue-incheek satire Mr. Moore is using, and I am glad that he doesn't really mean what he is saying. Still, I am grateful to him for writing the letter and to The Observer for printing it. It really puts a light on the gun violence problem in our country and the horrible mentality that causes it.

I was born in England and happened to be raised thinking that the British Empire was rather exceptional. However, along with my fellow countrymen, I neverbelieved that in orderto preserve this uniqueness, everyone should be allowed to own a gun. I love this country as much as I do my native England, but do not agree with the view that in order to preserve it, every person should have the right to own a gun as is preached by the NRA. England has managed to survive and preserve its uniqueness without arming its citizenry. As for the inevitable and unfortunate shootings by criminals and madmen, I believe it is a price far too high to pay and the only point of agreement I have with the writer who just happens to be my husband, is that"non-gun owners just do not understand."

FIRES Continued ~om Page1A officials. The prospects were cautiously upbeat Sunday during a community meeting in Joseph, which was attended by more than 100 residents. "It went better iSundayl than we as firefighters had a right to expect," Bill Mitchell, U.S. Forest Service operations chief, said. Deputies from the Wallowa County SherifFs Office spent Sunday warning residentsto be prepared to evacuate along Upper Hurricane Creek Road and in an arc along Hurricane Creek Road between Pine Tree and Bowerman roads. Smoky haze obscured views of the Wallowa Mountains Sunday throughout the upper Wallowa Valley. Firefighters from Joseph Fire and Rescue are deploying water tanks, hoses and pumps along Upper HurricaneCreek to protectresidences in case the fire moves north, Fire Chief Jeffrey Wecks told residents during the Sunday community meeting. District Ranger Kris Stein of the U.S. ForestService said fireinvestigators are trying to determine the cause of the Falls Creek Fire, which was reported by hikers Saturday morning. Resources throughout the west are stretched so thin that fewer than 50 firefighters were on the scene. About 200 Oregon National Guard troops arrived in Baker City Sunday, Stein noted, which might free firefighters from other blazes for duty in Joseph. A command post was established at the Joseph Rodeo Grounds with Incident Commander Francis Tyler in charge.

The Enterprise shelter is manned by eight volunteers. cWe're stretched really thin here in Eastern Oregon," Stanhope said. But, she said, finding resources haven't been difficult.'This happens to be a very strong community with a lot of good resources and big hearts."

The governor announced her decision while visiting a fire command center in John Day. The Canyon Creek Complex Fire was declared the nation' stop priority for resources last week, but has since gone down to 10th. The National Interagency Fire Center still ranks the Okanogan Complex and North Star fires in Washington asprioritiesoneand two, respectively. As fewer structures are threatened, Simmons said firefighters will eventually move elsewhere. cWe'll be here until we're no longer needed," he said. "But it's looking very good."

After starting from a lightning strike two weeks ago, the fire has burned 109 square miles, mostly in Malheur National Forest, where extensive thinning projects have gone on in recent years to reduce fire danger.

i.GFQ gregaring for comgetitioninstairclimiI challenge • Six local firefighters gearing up to take part in Climb for a Cure at the U.S. Bancorp Tower at the end of September ByAlyssa Sutton The Observer

The La Grande Fire Department is sending six firefighters — Capt. Stanley Grove and Capt. Tyson Botts and firefighters Tracy Harris, Merle Laci, Dusty Alam and Nick Rilatt — to compete in the seventh annual Portland Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge, Climb for a Cure, at the U.S. Bancorp Tower on Sept. 27. To compete at their first-ever stairclimb, each member of the voluntary six-member team has to raise $100, which will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. ewe're trying to go way beyond that," Rilatt saidofthe $100entrance fee.

With $455 of the mandatory $600 raised, the team continues to create fundraisers. ewe've talked about raflles, and there should be a lot coming up in the next couple of weeks," Rilatt said. The firefighters agreed that training is forefront in their minds. The team will have to climb up 40 floors800 steps — in full gear, on one bottle of air. ewe just got done running the iElkhornl relay and we have a stair machine in our fitness room at the fire station that I think a lot of us have utilized quite a bit," Rilatt said.

"The last two years he's bugged me about it, and I put him offu Laci said."For me it's getting back into shape and raising money for cystic fibrosis." For Harris it's a little more personal. "It's the physical challenge of doing the stairs, and I have a fiiend whose daughter has cystic fibrosis," Harris said. All six of the members volunteered to train and compete in the stairclimb. Rilatt said six members is about the maximum number of firefighters they felt comfortable taking away from the station. "If you think about it, that's a whole shift," he said."I'm sure there were other guys that wanted to do it. Consequently, you probably won't see any of the same faces next time." Rilatt is already looking toward the possibility of a second climb in the winter, scheduled to take place in Seattle, Washington.

This is a good, clear postcard picture of a "Modern Auto Court," or motel as we know them today. This one was located in Union. The stamp box on the back of the postcard indicates the picture was taken anywhere from 1927 to 1940. Looking at the cars, the best guess is that it would been taken closer to 1940 than 1927. This is one of the many thousands of postcard pictures that were taken and printed without the name of the photographer.

ELGIN — David and Teri Fuhrman, owners of Cowboy and Angel's Place, are relocating their restaurant business to its new location at 60 S. Eighth Ave. and will be open for business there on Sept. 1. The property is being sold to the Fuhrmans by current owners Laura and Dick Parsons, who are remodeling it forrestaurantusepriorto sale. The Parsons have been an invaluable help to the Fuhrmans, "otherwise we wouldn't have been able to purchase it and move," TeriFuhrman said. Since it first opened in March of last year, Cowboy & Angel's Place has grown steadily in popularity. They started with only breakfast and lunch meals, and by December were offering dinners too. Today the restaurant is operatedby an additional four talented employees who put out amazing meals. "I haven't eaten anything here that wasn't delicious, and I've tried all three meals," said Terri McDowell, a regular customer from Elgin. In fact, according to Teri Fuhrman, she's so busy that customers already seated have often invited waiting customers to join their tables so they could eat too. In excess of that, she's actually had to turn others away regrettably. ''We have lots of regulars like the ladies' coffee club, the Chamber of Commerce members and the mens' church groups," Fuhrman said.'We've also had customers from Pendleton, Walla Walla iWashingtonl, Wallowa, Baker City, Union, Cove and even some from Canada. The community of Elgin has

Their hospitality goes beyond feedingpeople,though.The Fuhrmans also think about pet dogs walking by their place, and they set out a dish of fresh water outside the restaurant every morning. "One time we had a guy with a ihungryl turtle come in. He asked us fora pieceoflettuceforhisturtle,so we gave him the lettuce," Fuhrman said. But besides their warm hospitality, the real draw at Cowboy and Angel's Place is their homemade food and friendly service. ''We serve homemade rolls, soups, cooked meals, sandwiches and salads," Fuhrman said.'We make our own dinner and lunch specials,

hand cut our ribeye steaks, and make the best homemade biscuits and gravy. I don't think anyone goes away hungry." At their new location, the Fuhrmans will expand by adding 50 m ore seats and more outdoor seating at umbrella-covered tables. Fuhrman said they will have a larger kitchen and plan to offer more homemade desserts. Cowboy and Angel's Place alsocatersfor parties and gatherings.

here there is smoke there is fire, and on Aug. 2, that smoke led hundreds of firefighters to what became oneofthe largest forest fires Elgin and Union County have experiencedthe Phillips Creek Fire. The fire, which burned just seven short miles from Elgin, put residents and the entire community on alert, many fearing that just one single ember could ignite more damage. Luckily, the hundreds of men and women firefighters were able to fight and fully contain the fire without further damage to any structures. Since the Aug. 2 fire, several other brutal fires nearby have been raging and fire crews have once again been relocated back to the Elgin Stampede grounds to assist in the Grizzly Bear Complex Fire near Troy. These fires are costing several million dollars to fight while at the same time, contributing locally and having a bittersweet economic impact in our community. The Elgin Chamber of Commerce, along with several other local organizations and community members, once again rolled out the hospitality wagon filled with supportand appreciation, and demonstrated their motto to all the firefighters and crew — "Small town, BIG hospitality" — for which the men and women were truly grateful. This in turn generated an upswing on the economics of the community; it also left a positive lasting impact for generations to come. The motto came from the 2008 and 2010 Cycle Oregonevent,when Elgin was tapped to be the host city. Thousands of cyclists from all over the country and world rolled in and out of Elgin, soaking in the generosity the community demonstrated; in turn itgenerated an economic boom. Not only did it spawn the boom,itsetalasting favorable precedence. The economic impact from the community kindness was immense not only in dollars, but lifelong relationships that continue to strengthen our local profitabihty. Studies show that a community that demonstrates friendliness, gratefulness, and thankfulness, reaps the rewards. Kem Brainerd is a firurncird rePresentative with Modern

ON DECIC TUESDAY • College women's soccer:Eastern Oregon University at Northwest Christian University, Eugene, 1 p.m.

AT A GLANCE

Smoke cancels Eastern match The women's soccer match between the University of British Columbia-Okanagan and Eastern Oregon University Sunday was cancelled due to poor air quality. No makeup dates were announced.

Bolt edges Gatlin by slimmest of margins in 100 The Associated Press

BEIJING — A heart-stopper. A lean at the line. A next-to-nothing margin over a more-than-game challenger. Sure, for Usain Bolt, the winning result, the bow-and-arrow victory celebration and even the setting may have been the same as 2008. But the show he put on Sunday in a .01-second victory over Justin Gatlin at the Bird's Nest was something very different. Boltcrossed the line in 9.79 seconds — pedestrian by his standards.

Yet it very well may have been his greatest race ever. "My coach said, You'll have to run 100 meters if you're going to win the race,"' Bolt said after capturing his recordninth career gold medal at world championships."So I ran 100 meters." The 29-year-old Jamaican came in hurting and anything but race ready — a far cry from seven years ago, when he put his stamp on the Beijing Olympics in the same stadium by slowing down and bringing his hands out to his side to start the celebration

with 20 meters left. Even with that, he crossed the line in a then-worldrecordtime of9.69 seconds. By now, that's ancient history, and the proof was in the results from the last two years. Gatlin has been dominating the sprint game, while Bolt has spent more time rehabbing than racing. The problems carried right into Sunday. Bolt's semifinal run — normally a stress-fiee jog — turned dicey when he stumbled on his fifth step out of the starting block. He was in sixth place more than halfway

through and had to push to beat out Trayvon Bromell. In the next semifinal race, Gatlin breezed, just as he had the night before in the heats. Set against each other, those performances turned Gatlin into the betting favorite, and who could argue? And so, the stakes were set: The world-record holder and track's happy warrior against a twice-convicted doper, who also won the 100 at the 2004 Olympics and the world championships in 2005.

NFL rules

Suggs' hit legal The NFL said Terrell Suggs' hit on Sam Bradford was legal and that officials erred in flagging the Ravens linebacker for roughing the passer during Saturday night's game against the Eagles. On the Eagles' sixthoffensive snap, Bradford handed the ball off to running back Darren Sproles and then immediately was hit by Suggs on his surgically repaired knees.

Native Americans' totem pole joumeys to oppose coal exports By Gosia Wozniacka The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A Native American tribe is taking a 22-foot totem pole from Canada through the Pacific Northwest to Montana in oppositionofproposed coalexportterminals. A team from the Lummi Nation, from Washington's Puget Sound, started the journey on Friday. The pole will travel more than 1,300 miles by truck, from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Missoula, with multiple stops in Washingtonand Oregon. Its journey includes blessing ceremonies at each of the proposed coalportsand in tribal communities and houses of worship along the oil train route. The totem pole is destined for Montana's Otter Creek Valley, the location of a proposed coal mining expansion that would serve the Pacific Northwest terminals. The Lummi Nation and other tribes are against building coal-export termiMs at Cherry Point near Bellingham, in lungview, and at the Port of Morrow on the Columbia River. Cherry Point encompasses the Lummi Nation's ances-

tral sites and traditional fishing grounds. The projects would export millions of tons of coal annually to Asia. The tribes say the terminalswould disrupt treaty-protected fishing rights, contaminate air and water, and harm sacred sites. The totem pole was created by the House of Tears Carvers at the Lummi Nation. It took four months for a team to create it, said the tribe's master carver Jewell James. Traditionally, totem poles use powerful symbols to depict visions, pass on tribal mythology or mark important tribal or family events, Jewell said. They're used at ceremonies, to honorthedeceased,orto record stories. But over the past years, the tribe has put them to a novel use; tribal members have takenthetotem polesoffthereservation to areasstruck by disasterorfacing acrisis,as symbols of strength and wisdom, Jewell said.

Star asks tourists to respect house ASTORIA—Theactor who played Mikey Walsh in 'The Goonies"is weighing in on the tourism problem near an Astoria home where part of the movie was filmed. Sean Astin took to Facebook with his plea to fans, asking people to be m ore respectful and telling the Daily Astorian that he wants "y'all to respect the dang house." In his Facebook post, the 44-year-ol d actorcalled on producer Steven Spielberg and director Richard Donner to work with city officials on solutions, like a future tourist outpost, museum or for-profit venture. Sandi Preston has owned the iconic house since 2001. She'd previously been receptive to requests from fans, but recently asked Astoria's city council and chamber of commerce to help manage the crush of tourists visiting the site.

Anew way

to display blooms During our travels to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the first part of the month some of my hanging flowers didn't fare too well in the 100-plus temperatures, despite good care by Kate. I don't need much incentive to pop into one of the nurseries so found myself in EONL (Eastern Oregon Nursery and Landscaping at Island City, which is closest, looking at the hanging plants they still had. Yes, I bought some, because after all they are on sale now. Anyway my eyes caught on a beautiful mass of plants and blooms at the end of a row of plants, that I couldn't quite figure out. Edna Irene who was helping with my purchases explained that it was a dresser planted with all sorts of plants. She said she planted it about four months ago. Ohhh, how I would love to have that in front of my bay window out front. I have been going through our house eyeing our dressers, but best give up the idea of using any of them. At least two ofthe oak ones are older than I am so they must be genuine antiques by now. Also my husband might notice one missing if he came home to a pile ofhis things on the bedroom floor. I can't tell you exactly how Edna Irene planted it, so just go over to EONL and enjoy how beautiful it is. She is there every day and would be happy to explain the process to you. By the way, if my husband asks, I only bought ONE new hanging plant! Reach the author by emrrit at Crisjma/O eoni.com.

Grilled potatoes and onions tangle with grilled sirloin steaks in a salad dressed with a spicy ranch dressing.

By JeanMarie Brownson Chicago Tnbune

Even asIattempt toeatless red meat, I still crave steak. During the summer months, its virtues suit our lifestyles. Steak cooks quickly, is easy to transportto a picnicand tastes great hot, warm and chilled. Leftovers make indulgent sandwiches. Grilled steak, piled on garden-crisp greens topped with a freshly made dressing, ranks as a favorite dinner on a warm evening. Combining grilled steak with potatoes reminds us of cozy Midwestern steakhouse dinners. This season we're enjoying two delicious steak salads: The first pairs thinly sliced steak with crispygrilled russet potatoes and a spicy ranch-style dressing; the second employs grillsteamed li ttle golden potatoes with a fresh herb vinaigrette. Boneless New York strip makes great salad steak becauseofitstenderness and uniform thickness. After cooking, it slices thin with little effort. Meatier-tasting sirloin tip, petite-cut top sirloin and flank steak prove good choices when serving the steak cold. Take care when cooking, as thesesteaks tend to be leaner; don't cook them past medium-

rare, or thegl be dry and tough. W henever possible,selectchoice grade steaks with about V4-inch offataround the edges to keep things moist during cooking; it can betrimmed beforeadding to the salad. The same tricks for grilling

steakhouse steaks apply to thosedestined for a salad:Take the chil loffthe steak before cooking, season it highly and use a properly heated (and hot) grill. Let it rest after cooking for 5 minutes, so the juices settle. Use a super-sharp thin bladed knife to slice the meat against the grain for maximum eating pleasure. As for the potatoes,Ilike the golden-brown flavor of russet slicescooked directly over the coals; I start the cooking in the microwave while the grill heats. These slices make a delicious side to a burger, but tucked warm into crisp greens they surprise the diner. I employ my hobo-pack style of grilling potatoesfor small tender yellowpotatoes that geteven creamier when cooked in their own steam. To crisp them a bit, I move the pack over the hottest part of the coalsfor a couple of minutes. When tossing the salad with a creamy dressing, I prefer sturdy greens — especially with hearty slicesofsteak and potatoes. Romaine sets the standard, but there's also good flavor in those heads of Little Gem lettuces soldin bags and the large-leafed arugula sold in bunches. For a stunning presentation with romaine, I cut the head crosswise into thick slabs and put each slabin the centeroftheplate. Then I top it with all the salad goodiesand a drizzle ofdressing. M ore delic atelettuces,such as watercress, baby spinach, pea shoots and spring mix welcome

a lighter dressing such as the fresh herb vinaigrette. This summer, I'm enjoying living cress from Living Water Farms; it is sold with the roots still attachedand tastes delicate and sweet. Keep all cress perky by wrapping it in damp paper toweling and storing in a plastic bag inthe refrigerator. The goodness about tossing sliced steak in a salad with potatoes: You'lleatless steak. One 8-ounce steak will make two salads.

GRILLED STEAK AND POTATO SALAD WITH SPIC Y RANCH DRESSING Prep: 40 minutes Cook: 25 minutes Makes: 4 servings I like the Amish blue cheese from Salemville in Cambria, Wisconsin. Pretty blue veins with a rich, not-too-strong flavor that doesn't overpower the steak. 3 small russet potatoes 2 tablespoons olive oil /2teaspoon coarse salt Coarsely ground pepper 1 pound boneless beef top sirloin steaks (or New York strips), each about 1-inch thick 1 medium red onion, peeled, thickly sliced 1 large head romaine lettuce, tough outer leaves removed Spicy ranch dressing, see recipe 3 small tomatoes, halved, seeds shaken out, flesh cut into small dice

1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, diced 1/3cup crumbled blue cheese (or feta or goat cheese) Thinly sliced fresh basil, optional 1. Prepare a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to hot. 2. Pierce potatoes in several spots with a fork. Microwave on high (100 percent power) until nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Cool, then cut into 1/3-inch thick rounds. Brush both sides with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. 3. Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper. Then drizzle lightly with oil. Lightly brush the onion slices with the oil; season with salt and pepper. 4. Arrange the potato slices over the hotter part of the grill; put the onion slices around the cooler edges. Cook, turning once, until all are golden and tender, about 5 minutes for the potatoes and 15 minutes for the onions. Transfer potatoes to a plate. Separate onions into rings; slice rings in half. 5. Grill the steaks over the hotter portion of the grill, turning only once, until medium-rare (or as preferred), about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest a few minutes. 6. To assemble the salads, cut four 1-inch thick center slices from the romaine. Alternatively, cut the head of romaine lengthwise in quarters. Transfer one romaine slice to each serving plate. Divide the potatoes and onions over the romaine. Very thinly slice the steak; lay the slices on top of the salad. SeeSteaklPage 3B

Shrimp on the barbie: Tricky, but worth it By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

Shrimp is terrific grilled as a main dish or an appetizer. The challenge with shrimp on the grill is it's fragile and cooks quickly. If you overcook shrimp, it becomes tough and chewy. The key is marinating or brining the shrimp and using no more than a medium heat. You can also brush the shrimp with a sauce while they are on the grill to keep them from drying out. And, once you put them on the grill, don't even think of walking

away. Shrimp cooks quickly and you need to pay attention. Whenever I cook shrimp (grill, roast, or steam), I brine them first, which plumps them up and keeps them moist during cooking. For about 2 pounds of shrimp, in a large pot, dissolve '/2 cup of kosher salt and '/2 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of water. Add the shrimp and refrigerate. Let them soak P/2 to 2 hours, no longer or you risk them becoming too salty. Remove them from the brine and give them a quick rinse under cold water. This removes any possible surfacesalt.

The best way to grill shrimp is to thread them on two wooden skewers or position two shrimp together. Using the two skewers helps you turn them all at once and cook evenly. If grilling shrimp without skewers, leave on the shells to protect them on the grill but devein them. To devein shrimp, cut a slit on the backside to the tail with smallscissorsand remove the vein. That slit also makes it easier to peel them once they are done. Serve these shrimp as an ap-

petizer ormain dish,served over a mixed greens salad or with grilled vegetables.

SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE Makes: 6/Preparation time: 20 minutes/Total time: 30 minutes It's important to cut the bell pepper andonion in small pieces so that they are even with the shrimp. If thepieces are too big, the shrimp won'ttouch the grill grates. SeeShrimplPage 2B

Coleslawwithoutcaddaoe

By Judy Hevrdejs Chicago Tubune

Bored with the usual slaws? The mayo-doused number at the deli or your aunt's vinegared version? Don't fret.W e've dug up recipesthat getto the root of your problem — which is that cabbage is so 245 years ago. The koolsla recipes the Dutch brought to this country circa 1770 used cabbage. And that's been pretty much the baseforcoleslaws ever since. But chefs and culinary pros like to tinker with classicrecipes,so they're using beets, kohlrabi,carrots, fennel, celery root. All are sturdy, colorful, flavorful. All have slaw potential. The fennel slaw served with a roasted fish sandwich at Found Kitchen and Social House in Evanston, Illinois, began with a rethinking of classic coleslaw, explained Nicole Pederson, the restaurant's executive chef and partner. aWe call it a slaw becauseit'sraw vegetables all sliced very thinly," she said. Shaved fennel is mixed with ribbons shaved from different col ors ofbaby carrots.A

bit of napa cabbage is added along with pickled onions, and it's finished with lemon juice and olive oil. What sets these new slawsapartfrom their salad siblings is the shredded or thinly sliced ingredients, said cookbook author Rick Rodgers, whose recent"The

Big Book of Sides" (BallantineBooks),features several slaw recipes, including one that teams kohlrabi with almonds and apples. He suggests cutting raw vegetables '/4-inch or sometimes an eighth-of-aninch thick."Slices have to be small enough to be tender

without cooking." That thin slicing and crunch from raw vegetables make these updated slaws a perfect accompaniment to so many dishes, summer's grilled meats and fish among them. It's a good way to add a fun texture to a meal, said Pederson When they're shredded, they seem so much lighter." What about dressings? Well, there are no rules. "Except for the fact you have to kind of bow to regional or familypreferences,"said Rodgers, citing a diner coleslaw popular in New Jersey that marinates all thevegetablesin a sweet and sour vinaigrette. "By sweet, I mean they're almost

pickled."

RAW BEET SLAW WITH FENNEL, TART APPLE AND PARSLEY Prep: 25 minutes Makes: 4 servings Diane Morgan, author of "Roots," (Chronicle Books) suggests serving this at a barbecue, at brunch with cured salmon or alongside country pate. Use a mandoline or a sharp chef's knife to cut beets into matchsticks. Use disposable surgical gloves, or you'll end up with red hands. 3 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil 1 tablespoon each: fresh lemon juice, freshly grated orange zest /2teaspoon each: honey, fine sea salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 medium red beet,3 to 5 ounces, peeled, cut into matchsticks /2fennel bulb, trimmed, halved lengthwise, cored, cut into matchsticks /2medium crisp tart apple such as Granny Smith, cored, cut into matchsticks /2cup firmly packed chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, orange zest, honey, salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, toss together beet, fennel, apple and parsley. Add dressing. Mix gently to coat ingredients evenly. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Slaw can be made up to 8 hours in advance. Presentation note: If you don't serve immediately and want to prevent the beets from tinting the fennel, keep beets separate (dressed with half the dressing) and mix in right before serving.

CARROT SLAW WITH MISO VINAIGRETTE Prep: 15 minutes Makes: 4 servings Rick Rodgers, author of "The Big Book of Sides," (Ballantine Books) serves this with Asianstyle grilled meats, poultry or seafood. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon white miso /2teaspoon soy sauce 1 garlic clove

6 wooden skewers, soaked in warm water 1 pound large shrimp, shelled, deveined 2 bell peppers (any color), seeded, cut into even 1-inch pieces 6 slices of lime 6 small pieces of onion, cut into 1-inch pieces /2cup favorite smokyflavored barbecue sauce 1 to 2 tablespoons red hot pepper sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot Sauce /2teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 clove of garlic, peeled, minced Preheat or prepare the grill for medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, oil the grates. Alternately, evenly divide and thread the shrimp, bell pepper, lime slices and onion pieces on the skewers. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the barbecue, hot pepper and Worcestershire sauces, and garlic. Brush some of the sauce mixture over both sides of the shrimp skewers. Place the skewers on the grill, and grill about 3 to 4 minutes on each side (depending on how big the shrimp are) or until they turn pink. Brush them with the remaining sauce mixture while grilling. Remove them from the grill and serve warm. Adapted from "The Grilling Bible" by MarilynPocius (Publications International, $29.95).

Richard Blechynden is credited with making Typically crisp teas are good cold, and rich the first iced tea in 1904, when he purportedly

poured tea over ice at the World's Fair in St. Louis because sales for his hot tea were plummeting when temperatures were soaring that summer. However, there are earlier written accounts of ice tea, according to Goggi. One is as early as 1879, and the recipe credited to Marion Cabell Tyreeused green tea.Later,in 1884,arecipe fiom Boston Cooking School called for tea to be poured over ice, he said. When makingiced tea, Pantalone says it's bestto use alotofteain a batch.'We often see people using too little tea. We recommend eight to 14teaspoons ofteapergallon depending on the tea," he says. The tea also should have room to expand during the infusion process because if it doesn't the tea won't properlyrelease flavor to the water, he says. Generally, the tea is steeped in hot water for about six to 15 minutes before additives such as fiuits or herbs are added."Anything longer than 15 usually ends up being a waste of time," Pantalone says."But, if the leaves are compacted in some way, like with pearl tea or rolled teas,then longerisbetter." If planned ahead, tea could also be steeped in cold water."It's marvelous. You simply put your leaves into &esh cold water and place them in the refiigerator overnight," Gold says.

If the sweetener is added earlier, it will change the osmoticpressure ofthewateron thetea leaves, which will result in a slower infusion, Pantalonesays.However,headdsthatyou don'thave to wait for the water to completely cool down because sugar will dissolve in tea more quickly at higher temperatures.

"Cloudiness in iced tea, especiallyiced black tea, is actually a good thing," Pantalone adds. Is there a magic time within which iced tea should be served? Well, it all depends on the tea variety. "Iced black teas keep very well in the refiigerator for about a week, buticed Jasmine teas can get funky after about three or four days. The best time to serveiced teawould be as soon as it's ready.
