JOSEPH — Mother Nature intervened over the weekend to damp down two wildfires burning in Wallowa County, bringing rain and cooler temperatures that relieved firefighters and property owners. Authorities allowed some evacuated residents back into their homes in Troy and nearby areas, and reduced evacuation warning levels there and in the area of Hurricane Creek Road in rural Joseph. Further reductions are planned for today. The Falls Creek Fire, four miles southwest of Joseph, and the Grizzly Bear Complex fires, in the north county and Washington, were confined to their previous limits or nearly so, fire managers said. The Falls Creek Fire remains at 396 acres and the Grizzly Bear Complex SeeFires / Page 5A

TODAY Today is Monday, August 31, the 243rd day of 2015. There are 122 days left in the year.

On August 31, 1986, the Soviet passenger ship Admiral Nakhimov collided with a merchant vessel in the Black Sea, causing both to sink; up to 448 people reportedly died.

ON THIS DATE In 1954, Hurricane Carol hit the northeastern Atlantic states; Connecticut, Rhode Island and part of Massachusetts bore the brunt of the storm, which resulted in some 70 deaths. In 1985, Richard Ramirez, later convicted of California's "Night Stalker" killings, was captured by residents of an East Los Angeles neighborhood. In 1997, a car crash in Paris claimed the lives of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul.

The announcement followed a decision on Sunday by Baker County to lift all evacuation notices for structures in the Eagle Complex fires area. Greer's confidence in the containment of the fires was heightened after the Eagle Complex blazes passed a big test Saturday. Strong winds

blew through much of the day with gusts reaching 40 mph, but the Eagle Complex fires grew by only a small amount, 206 acres, on Friday and Saturday. This was an indication that the containment lines held up well. cwe were concerned that the fire could escape our containment. This is a great

a structure," said Greer, who lives in Denver.

A totalof315people were on the fire this weekend. Many have been based at a camp 16 miles southeast of Union and at a smaller camp at Forshey Meadow near Sparta. The smaller camp is a spike camp meant to put firefighters in a position where they can better access the fires. The larger camp is comprisedofyurttentswhere members of Rocky Mountain Team Black work, along with foodpreparationand serving facilities, portable restrooms and showers, a fuel truck, many small tents for sleeping and more.

cal marijuana dispensaries beginning Oct. 1. Because the issue is time sensitive, the ordinance under consideration includes an emergency clause: If the council unanimously votes to declare an emergency, the ordinance will become effective immediately following a majority vote of the council.

If passed in October, the ban would be implemented on top of a standing moratorium that prohibits the establishment of marijuanarelated facilities. Due to restrictions on that moratorium, though, opting out would providemore time for the city to adopt rules for such facilities.

The agency is slated to consider a minimum bid price for the Odd Fellows building, as prior owners declined to exercise their right of first refusal.

Only one structure has been lost to the Eagle Complex fires, reflecting the priority irefi f ghtershave placed on protectingstructures.This work involved removing all flammable materials near structures, watering buildings down with sprinkler systems and digging containment lines around structures.

calls for rapid salvage logging

Baker County commissioner For WesCom News Serwce

BAKER CITY — Even as wildfires continue to smolder, Baker County Commission Chairman Bill Harvey is looking toward the future, and he believes the top goal now should be salvaging burned timber. And time, Harvey said, is already running out. "Ifwe don'tgetsalvage logging, all that timber outthereisgoingtogo to waste," he said.'We only have a two-year window of opportunity to salvage." Harvey has in the past arguedthatpublicforests in Baker County and elsewhere in the West have too many trees and were vulnerable to wildfire. The events ofAugust, during which more than 150,000 acres burned in Baker County, including thousandsofacresofforest, have infuriated Harvey. "I have been saying for years it is not a question of if, but when, it will all go up," he said. Harvey stands at the helm of a county government that faces the task of picking up the pieces after the fires. He said the damage is unprecedented. 'This is an historical level of devastation in Baker County. The worst it has

ever been," he said. While exact dollar figures on the damage are unknown, Harvey believes local, state and federaloScials should act immediately to salvage as much of the damagedtimber aspossible. Other counties across the West that endured wildfires face the same problem: Finding a quick way to get as much timber otf the scorched ground as possible in the shortest amount of time. "It will be a race of who can get their timber cut first and get it out of the way so itdoesn'tcreate ahugedisaster for the next summer," Harvey said. He isn't concerned only about the lost opportunity reganfing timber. Other questions remain unanswered reganfingwildfi redamage. ''What do we do with these lands that have no vegetation whatsoever?" Harvey said."How do we rehabilitate lands without causing more of a mess? What about the devastation of wildlife? All of these issues now affect us immediately." Cooperation among agencies at all levels will be critical, Harvey said. "It is crucial we get help fiom Congress, state and our county governments to help guidethe ForestServicedo these itimberl sales immedi-

ately," he said.'You literally have burned 100,000 acres. That has never been in place before, and it will be an historical effort and we really don't have the mechanisms do that right now." Harvey said salvage logging would address several problems at once. For one, he said, logging would remove debris that could fuel future blazes. Second, revenue fi'om salvage logging could be investedin forestrestoration projects. "The federal government doesn't have the money," Harvey said. While the value of the firedamaged timber will be less than for green timber, Harvey said there will still be enoughto generate money. Another problem, he conceded,isthattim ber sales usually aren't large, often around 3,000 acres. "But we have 100,000 acres," Harvey said.'Ten times what we are used to putting out for sale. It is astronomical to look at it. It is overwhelming." The largeswath ofdamagedtimber can betraced to one element, Harvey contends. "There is literally so much out there because we have not cut it in so many years," he said.

East Oregonian

Eastern Oregon legislators got a glimpse of the challenges corrections officers face on Saturday night during a meet and greet with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 75. Rep. Greg Barreto iR-Covel and Sen. Bill Hansell iR-Athenal listened to the concerns of union members working in area prisons as part of an informal event hosted by the union's conservative caucus. After the event, treasurer Darin Davis said the caucus members wanted to bring problems to the legislators' attention, but also just let them know that local AFSCME members see eye to eye with them more than they might assume. Nationally, 48 percent of the union's members identify as conservative and in Eastern Oregon it's more than half. "Historically labor unions have always taken a Democratic stance, but what makes us unique is our membership is primarily conservative," Davis said.'We don't want to be lumped into a party line we don't belong to." He said the conservative caucus would like to work with everyone, not just conservative politicians, to push for better working conditions in the prisons. "Our number one concern is that at the end of the shift everyone goes home safe and

healthy and happy," he said. Davispointed out thatthe average life expectancy for a man with a career in corrections is 59. Divorce, post-traumatic stress disorderand a variety ofotherillsare common, and Davis said it is important for politicians — and the general publi c— to be aware of the challenges the line of work entails. "This isn't an eight to five job," he said. ''We're making sacrifices some of our citizens forget. In the seven years I've worked there iat EOCIl I've had one Christmas otK It's

tough. It's tough on families." Excessive overtime was one of the top complaints Hansell and Barreto heard Saturday night. Union members said throughout the state employees who want to can work 60 to 80 hours every week, and those who don't volunteer for overtime areoften required to stay and work a double shift at the last minute anyway. Jeff Coflman, caucus chair, said during the 2014 sessionthe legislaturesetaside money for 33 "overtime relief' positions, including three at EOCI and three at TRCI. But those positions have not been filled. Caucus members also brought up other concerns they said might be helped by legislative action. They said right now the prisons have to buy all supplies like soap and towels at a marked-up price fiom Oregon Corrections Enterprises instead of being able to buy directly from the manufacturer. They also said it would be helpful to have some sort of incentive for new employees to stayatOregon'smore ruralprisons instead of coming to EOCI or TRCI to get trained for a year and then heading to a better-paying job at a countyjail on the west side of the state. At the end of the night Hansell and Barreto thanked the group for their insight and said they would be draNng a joint letter urging action on some of the problems that had been brought to their attention, including the Department of Correction's failure to use the m oney set aside forovertime reliefsofar. Coflman said he felt the meeting had been a successin getting heard by thelegislators and he hoped to continue to stay in contact with them and bring caucus members for a visit to Salem during the next legislative session. "I think we achieved what we wanted in letting them know we're here if they have questions," he said.

rou eSSa e As the kids head back to class and we all settle back into our school day routines, safety should be on all of our minds this first week back and throughout the school year. With children back in class, this means we can expect to see stop-and-go traffic near schools as parents drop o6'and pick their kids up. We should also expect plenty of students walking and riding their bikes to and from school. With several bicycle vs. vehicle accidents on the books this summer, we should all strive to make sure none of these types of accidents occur, of course all year round, but especially as our young people head off to halls oflearning. As drivers, this means we should look both ways — and then check the sidewalks again for good measurebefore we make turns. As we drive through town, slow down and be on the lookout for those crossing streets. The speed limit through school zones when students are present and when school is in session is 20 mph. Especially at the start of the school year, some students may be traversing through the world of cars and trucks to get to school for the first time. "Be watching for children who are not aware of traffic safety," said La Grande Police Chief Brian Harvey. Near Greenwood Elementary School, especially, there is construction going on, which may result in more vehicles in the area. As parents, we can also take steps to make sure our kids make it safely to school. Younger childrenshouldbeaccompanied by an adult,butonce your child is ready, have them walk with a friend or in a group. Make sure your child knows his or her route and that it is one that avoids possible dangers. To best be seen by drivers, wear bright colored clothing. Other tips from the National Center for Safe Routes to School include being watchful for cars and trucksatevery driveway and intersection, and spott ingdriversin parked cars— they may be getting ready to move. Finally children should know how to properly cross the street: stop at each street crossing; look left, right, left and behind and in front; wait until no traffic is coming to begin crossing; keep watching for traffic until you have crossed the street; and walk, don't run, across the street.

Whether you're sending your kids o6'to school for the last year or the very first time, or you have no children at all, we can all take a few extra seconds each morning and afternoon to ensure we help our youngest residents get to school and home safely. Reminding ourselves at the start of the school year is a great way to form a safe habit that will benefit us all year.

Lillard: Removal ofConfederate flag a step lorward To the Editor: Regarding your recent editorial regarding the Confederate flag, it's shocking that The Observer would take the stanceused by other apologistsfor this crass symbol of racism. Individuals can support whatever flag they wish in this country, but I would suggest that it is a significant step in the battle against racism to remove this symbol from atop any public facilities. The Confederacy is a defeated and non-existent nation that attempted to destroy the USA. The argument it should be flown as a part of our history is silly. The flags of Iraq and Nazi Germany are a part of our history, too, but I don't think we'll be flying them anytime soon. Iseethat The Observer alsoplaced blame for your view of misguided priorities strictly on the television screen. I don't think you can absolve yourselves, or the print media in general, from inaccuracies, poordecisionsand a lack of courage in addressing significant issues. Gary Lillard La Grande

Tromp van Hoist:: Grassseed producers are responsible To the Editor: Grass seed is an important agricultural crop in Union County. The farm gate income supports many jobs from farm employees to seed plant employees, agricultural services and many other businesses in Union County. That farm gate income rolls over many times in our community. Field burning is an essential tool for profita blegrassseed production.Not that many years ago, the practice was to leave all harvested residue in the field, several tons per acre, and burn it all. More recently it was discovered that residue is a viable livestock feed, and todaythatresidue isbaled and becomes a portionofwinterfeedrations. Today, a propane flamer is used to burn what little residue remains, and the resulting smoke is far less than in the old way. Seed producers and the county commission have implemented a burn program that has successfully minimized the impact on local communities. This is adiffi cultyearforseed producers to sanitize their seed production acresdue to the wildfires. When air quality is poor,

Its purpose was to connect all the Elgin libraries in the world. Chandler became intrigued. "My daughter Jillian had done her capstoneprojectatEastern Oregon University on the clans of Scotland, so Elgin, Scotland, became real interesting to us," Chandler said."I started emailing back and forth with the librarians at Elgin High School in Scotland." For the three women, all alumni of Elgin High School in Oregon, this 26day trip would become an exploration into the history, education, economy and social life of the 23,000 residents of the oldest-known Elgin on earth. Elgin straddles the River Lossie in Moray of northern Scotland. It was chartered as a royal burgh in 1136 and was the site of two well-known structures, the Elgin Cathedral and the Elgin Castle. However, afterrepeated attacks by warring earls upon the cathedral, it came to shambles. Likewise, the castle became aheap ofneglected ruins. However, the city of Elgin survived, and it's now a thriving tourist destination for many other reasons. 'They are known as the largest whiskey producers in the world. Some oftheir otherindustriesinclude offshore oil drilling and timber milling," Gray said."Tourism is a big thing there, and they have lots ofbed and breakfast places." The estates that once were used forfarm cropsareincreasingly being turned into tree farms. It's common to see pasturing sheep and long-haired cows corral led by stone-walled fences and enjoying a longer length of day-

"The kids were shy but they wanted know about our schools," Chandler said. "So we went to the school icafeterial to talk and eat lunch with the kids." Talking to the students, Chandler learned some of the striking differences between Elgin, Scotland and Elgin, Oregon. For example, the principal is called the head teacher, the kids wear school uniforms, summer recess is a mere six weeks long, there are no student lockers and gradelevelsaredesignated differently. "S1 is like our seventh grade, and S2 is eighth grade, but they are all in high school," Gray said."A freshman in America is an S3 student in Elgin,

Wright said growing medical marijuana for children is a complicatedsubject,and Shaw has helped him with the endeavor. "First of all, you're dealing with children. They're totally legal — they've been prescribed," he said."But they don't metabolize like adults do, so you have to grow to fit their needs. And nobody is really coming forth who are qualified to do that." Wright said one ofhis young patients used to have quite a few seizures, but since taking medical marijuana, the patient stopped enduring seizures. 'There'sa lotofdifferent ways to administer it ito childrenl,nhe said.'Youputitin edibles and candies. They're not smoking it. They're young, they don't care for the taste of it." With his patients, he said he feels confident that he's helping them. Still, Wright saidhe remains disappointed with other local communitiesthat decideto optoutof allowing production and sale of medical and recreational marijuana. "Everybody has a voice," he said."It affects everyone in the industry iwhen the cities decideto optoutl.These cities don't really understand. They're stuck in the past. I hate to say that, but I would recommend people go to the city council meetings and voice their opinion. It's not as simple as smoking and growing weed anymore. It is economically friendly. Union is hurting for money. iThe cities) should really think aboutit." Wright said he's dealt with misconceptions people have regarding the industry. He said he believes people look at him differently because he grows weed. "I grow weed," he said.

In class, thestudentsare allowed to use cellphones and access the Internet for school work when approved by the teacher.

"I raise a family. But they're not around this. They understand it's medicine, but they understand they can't be around it and they're not."

Wright said his children are not around when he smokes at all; they're completely separate. "I just don't want anyone looking at me bad because of it," he said."I think people should take the time to talk about it and be more educated. Learn the facts and ask the people who really know. There's not enough people talking about it and it's a big deal. The patients would be without medicine otherwise. I'm doing this for the patients first and foremost. That's another misconceptionpeople think I'm getting rich and I'm not."

• Fundraising events helps out Blue Mountain Humane Association By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Some fourlegged friends made a big splash at the Veterans Memorial Pool in La Grande on Saturday. The Blue Mountain Humane Association and the Veterans Memorial Pool sponsored a fun event for man's best friend to close out the swimming season and to benefit the adoption center with the doggie dash and splash event. 'The weather changed ito colder temperaturesl,asaidTeresa Roberts,aquatic center superintendent."But people are showing up who haven't registered." Roberts said about 14 dogscame to the event within the first hour. It was the first annual event for the pool and humane association. The dogs were broken into sizes, small, medium and large, and were welcomed graciously to the outdoor

kiddie pool to play. Despite the cooler weather and the high winds, some dogs did enjoy the poolside fun — though some could not be forced into the pool by their owners. Roberts said she emptied out the outdoor pool and filled it with non-chlorinated water for the dogs to enjoy. She said this marks the end of the outdoor pool for the summer, and it was just a fun idea and event that they wanted to fry out. cWe just wanted to help ithe Blue

'The City iof La Grande) offered to fundraise for us," Brinlee said. He said the BMHA Facebook page has information on the dogs available to adopt. However, the Oregon Humane Society picks up the dogs at BMHA once a month and takes them to Portland — where they are typically adopted out fairly quickly, he said. cWe're a high save rescue," Brinlee said. BMHA only euthanizes dogs that the veterinarian believes need to be, due to sickness. The doggie dash and splash raised money for BMHA, he said.

"The donations go to the animal rescue," he said."This event brings the community together and helps get the word out about BMHA." However, Brinlee said, the animal shelter could use more volunteers who are willing to take some time out of their schedules to come by and walk the dogs. cWe are on a shoestring budget," he said.cWe needpeopletovolunteerto help the dogs get out of their kennels once a day." Brinlee said the animal shelter has an annual budget of $230,000, which comes solely from donations and grants.

One of the day's many events was sheep shearing. The Union County Museum brought in a lot of demonstrations to show participants what farming and ranching was like in the old days.

The UnionCounty Museum in Union hosted a Pioneer day on Saturday. Organizers — both board members and community volunteers— setup shop in different areas throughout the museum and courtyard to showcase skills such as wool spinning, carpentry, sheep shearing and candle making. The museum exhibits inside were open to visitorsfortours as well. "The purpose (of Pioneer Dayl is really to introduce peopleto crafts our pioneer ancestors have passed down," Union County Museum Society President Sharon Hohstadt said. "It's to get people interested in history." The event was tree to the community — though retreshments were for sale — and the museum was accepting donations. This is the second time the Union County Museum has hosted a Pioneer Day — the first one was a few years agothough they try to hold some sort of an event every year, Hohstadt said. cWe have been working on a new display (in the museum)," said Hohstadt, who has been involved with the museum for about 12 years."So we were a little busy, and didn't have a lot oftime orpeople to puttogether an event like this."

make wood shingles and hammers, which he was giving away tovisitors. "The kids seem to like the hammers," Schmidt said."I can show them how to make (the hammers) or give them one, if they don't have enough time." Mark Wing was giving rides in a horse-drawn wagon through Union, while also talking about the history of Union's commercial buildings. Later in the afternoon, Carla Arnold and Friends, as well as Twisted Willows — two different bands — performed. "It's pure fun," Hohstadt said. "It's a family-type event where they get to do things together."

t seemed like just yesterday that I wrote a column about the beginning of summer and how busy it was going to be — I wasn't wrong. I have never had a busier summer in my life and that goesformy job,aswellas my life. Summer is winding to a close and the events are slowing down. The temperatures are dropping and school is going to start today.It's a great feeling. I lost track ofhow many parades I covered, and the number of events the Grande Ronde Valley offered was beyond impressive. My Saturdays were filled withfairs,rodeos and so much more that eventually I had to accept that my Saturdays were going to be filled with event after event, and I did my best to not get too overwhelmed. My calendar was filled with the different options of where I would be going on Saturday, and there were usually multiple events to cover. I'm not complaining, though. It made the summer go by very fast. My weekends consisted of weddings, outdoor activities and getting the heck out of Dodge. I welcome the fall season and the feeling of slowing down. As a reporter, though, the fall season also means election season is coming. It means school is back in session and there are educational articles to be written. It meansfootballgames and volleyball games to shoot (I am a photographer too, by the wayl. It means major holidays are right around the corner, which usually consist of a large number of events that revolve around those days, as well asfamily gettogethers to drive to. A reporter' slife never seems to slow. It's just differentseasons ofdifferent events and news coverage. It's an interesting job, guaranteed to not be the same on any given day. It's exciting with hardly ever a dull moment. Another thing that has been going strong over the summer is the page you're reading at the moment. The Outskirts page has been going well through the summer, too. August marked six months of having the page anditseems tobe popular to subscribersthank you for that. The Observer is looking for some more people who would be interested in writing columns for the Outskirts page. We rotate the columnists throughout the month, and all we ask is for someone who loves the Grande Ronde Valley and is willing to talk about their passion for the local area we live in, then please email me and we can add you to the rotation. W e are alsolooking for story ideas. If there is an event, person or business that should be featured in Outskirts, then call the office or email ckaechele@lagrandeobserver. com.

match By Josh Benham The Observer

The Eastern Oregon University men's soccer team had alandmark day with its first match in program history Saturday. In front of their home crowd, the Mountaineers put on a solid show and displayed what the future holds. About the only thing that didn't go right was actually getting the ball in the net. Eastern controlled play forthe majorit y ofitsseason opener against Sierra Nevada College, generating countless scoring options. But the nerves of the first game cropped up at inopportune times, and it mustered just one goal in a 2-1 nonconference defeat at the EOU Soccer Field. "At the end of the day, the nerves got to us, I think," Eastern head coach Stan Rodrigues said."(Sierra ¹ vada)showed a lotofheart today, as well. But the jitters were definitely there. I didn't sleep much last night, either. Butitwas good for us to come out and get punched in the mouth in the first game." Thirty shots were taken by the Mounties compared to seven Sierra Nevada shots, and Eastern finished with See Defeat/Page 11A

By Ronald Bond The Observer

Trying to replace five seniors from last fall and two more players who transferredhas the Cove volleyball program ina place it'snotused to. "Definitely a whole new team," 13thyear head coach Darcy Carreiro said. "It's literally starting over from scratch — restructuring things and really just trying to fit people where I feel they fit best. We're definitely young in experience and young in age." Gone for the Leopards after their 18-8 run in 2014 are seniors Taylor Little, Hailey and Hannah Hulse, Morgan Reddingtonand Kindra Moore. But Cove also lost Tori Brownell and Alissa Hansen, both of whom transferredtoother schools. As a result, the Leopards take the court this fall with just three players

who have seen substantial playing time: senior Reagan Carreiro and juniors Lorissa Johnson and Hannah Duby, players the coach said are alreadystepping up as fl oorleaders. The rest of the squad will be filled with fresh faces. "I just have a lot of younger kids that have bigger shoes to fill," Carreiro sEud. Knowing that, the Leopards are taking adifferent approach to the season with regard to team outlook than they have in the past. "Goalsare going to be a lotm ore focused on learning and getting better in each game," Carreiro said. "They are goingtomake progress.It'snotgoing to be measured in the same way, but it's unique. It's an opportunity, and we

need to look at it as an opportunity." Among the players looking to see the floor for Cove are senior Lacey Baird and a big crew of juniors in Karley Witten, Mary Kendall, Harley Davis and Hannah Shanks. Sophomore Natalie Neil and freshmen Rebekah Farrell and Allie Best round out the roster. The coach knows the team will have growing pains but is hoping the Leopards will take the chance to learn from the challenge that lies ahead, especially in a difficult Wapiti League. "Finishing as strong as they possibly can,and growing and improving every single game is all I can ask for," Carreiro said. Cove, which lost at Dufur 25-17, 2518, 25-15, Friday in its season opener, travels Saturday to the Prairie City Tournament.

OREGON IN BRIEF Erom wire reports

18-year-old charged in shootingdeath ofteen EUGENE — An 18-yearold has been charged with manslaughter and another person could be charged in connection with the shooting deathofa Eugene teen at an apartment complex near Autzen Stadium. The Register-Guard reported 18-year-old Zachary Aristotle Beauchamp was arrested and charged with first-degree manslaughter Sunday night. Police say a review by the Lane County District Attorney's 0$ce will determine if another suspectedshooter willbe charged in the case. The victim has been identified as 17-year-old Justin Lee Gardner. Witnesses told police Beauchamp and another suspect were at the scene when the shooting occurred inside an apartment at the Stadium Park apartment complex early Sunday. Police haven't yet determined a possible motive in the case. The shooting continues to beinvestigated.

Police: Shooting victim lured to his death EUGENE — Authorities in Eugene say a man lured his ex-wife's boyfriend to a home where he shot him to death and then killed himself. Police say that 48-yearold Nicholas Hazel shot and killed 33-year-old John Ramsey Tainton-Platts at about 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Police say that after the shooting he sent a text message to his former wife stating he had just murdered Tainton-Platts and that he planned to next kill himself. Police told The RegisterGuard a standoff ensued until about 11:30 p.m. when police entered the home and found Hazel dead. Police say they fired no shots and Hazel appeared to have a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities say TaintonPlatts was a photographer who thought he was meeting a woman foraphoto shoot.

Principal Tara O'Neil walked around the area with a sharps container and gloves before the annual back-to-school picnic. She said she was making sure there were no needles on the playground or in the grass around the park. City Hall officials would not speak on camera with KATU-TV about the issue.

Eugene denies permit for fireworks at UO EUGENE — There won't be any fireworks at the University of Oregon's seasonopening football game next weekend. Eugene city officials denied the university's request to shoot fireworks from a park next to Autzen Stadium. Eugene Springfi eld Fire Chief Randy Groves cited ire danger in denying the f permit. In an email to the mayor and council, Groves says vegetation is so dry that flames would spread quickly if a fire broke out. Senior Associate Atheltics Director Craig Pintens told the Register Guard that it wouldn't make sense to shoot fireworks in the current weather conditions, and the university is fine with the city's decision. UO requested permission to shoot fireworks after each touchdown and to conduct a post-game fireworks show. The ducks open their season Saturday against Eastern Washington.

In Culver,fire comesclosetohomes By Kailey Fisicaro WesCom News Service

CULVER — When the Jefferson County SherifFs 0$ce came to S.W. Kokanee Lane to tell residents to evacuate for a wildfire, Karen Waltz, 57, of Portland had to think quickly about what tograb from her dad'shouse. The evacuation notice came as a fne appmached that starkd Saturdaymorning fmm briquettes in a campgmund at Cove Palisades State Park The fire was held at 200 acres ,butnotbeforeitdestroyed two vacanthomes and several outbuildings. About 100 were evacuated fmm a subdivision and campgrounds near the fire, which Oregon State Police and Oregon Department of Forestry investigatorsdetermined was started by improperlydisposed ofbarbecue briquettes. Waltz happened to be down in Culver for the weekend visiting her dad. Her sister-in-law, Sandi Reilly, 62, was the only one with her at the house when the evacuation notice came at around 11 a.m. They needed to leave immediately. Their husbands were out of the house shooting at Three Rivers, and Waltz's dad, Val Paterson, 82, the owner of the home, was in town with his son getting lunch. In a flash,Waltz grabbed photo albums,travel diariesand searched desperately for herdad'scat,Kitty. Down the canyon from Paterson's house, at the campgrounds near where the fire began, the Farnsworths, of Eagle Creek, were told to evacuate just as they were driving out for a day at the air show in Madras. Mike Farnsworth, 38, said he asked whether they could at least turn around to getthe trailerattheircamp. Oregon State Police said no, there was no time to turn around. eWe drove right by it," Heather Farnsworth, 37, said of the fire. Their son, Lincoln, 7, demonstrated with arms spread wide the size of the flames. At about 4 p.m., the family sat in the back of their pickup on the side of a quiet road, as many families did around Culver, watching from a distance as the helicopter dumped water.

John Paterson looks at the burned remains of his father, Val's, shed and Val's neighbor's home on S.W. Kokanee Lane after a fire outside Culver on Saturday. Val Paterson's house was spared, but the shed and a neighbor's home and garage burned to rubble. reported to have burned about 50 acres in sagebrush, grass and juniper, but by about3p.m.,ithad reached 200 acres. "Ithappened sofast,"Waltz said of how the fire spread. In a short amount of time, flames had erupted from the canyon below and were reaching the structure next door, a large garage with a vacant apartment inside. By then Waltz and Reilly's husband had returned, and the group began hosing down one side of Paterson's home and collecting things to leave. Paterson made it back to his home in time, with officials' OK, to get Kitty before fleeing againtosafety. Somehow,remarkably,the fi re missed his house. At about 6 p.m., evacueeswere allowed togoback to their homes. Back at Paterson's house, Waltz emerged from her car to meet her dad. In disbelief she looked between his home — untouched — and the smoldering pile of garage tools, old paint cans and two warped fridges standing alone in the middle of where the structure had stood next door. "Oh my God,"Waltz said, putting her

hands to her face as her eyes welled with tears."Look how close, Dad." Paterson put his arm around his daughter. Soon, the rest of the family arrivedto survey the damage. "There's your lawn mower, Daddy," Waltz said, pointing to a blackened, melted version of a riding lawn mower. Paterson commented, laughing, that he didn't"know where to buryit."A maple tree between Paterson's home and his neighbor's lot was partially scorched on one side, representing the invisible line that stopped the fire. eWe sprayed and sprayed,"Waltz said. Paterson and his late wife, Lois, bought the property in the '70s, but built a home and retired on Kokanee, along with several other friends from Portland, in the early'90s. Waltz said she was relieved they were visiting when the fire broke out. In all Paterson's years living there, a fire had never come so close. Aside from fine soot covering the inside ofhis home, and a lawn mower lost, Paterson was lucky. ''Who knows,"Waltz said, "he would have been there by himself."

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN By Daniel Neman St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A chef friend once told me that hisfavoritefood isa perfect,ripe tomato. It's hard to argue with that. A tomato has it all: a startling amount of flavor packed into a drop-dead

gorgeous package. Soft,

Summertime at our house was one geared to the out-of-doors whether it was workingin the yard, tending the garden, or doing deep-down housecleaning and repair. There was always picnicking, hiking and mountain climbing to be considered, so how can I let this summer go by without mentioning the year 1968 when I actually climbed Strawberry Mountain near Prairie City. Summer was pretty well over and I had once again successfully, I thought, avoided a mountain-climbing expedition. I reckoned, however, without the sunny skies that beckoned the family on a camping trip over the Labor Day weekend. It was the last promise of a family outing before thestartofschool,and thelast promise of a family outing mushroomed into fact, and there I was packed in with the tent, groceries, family 4usband George and sons Craig Paul, Terry, and

Randy), and Samoyeddog Kris, headed south into John Day country in Oregon. Up until the very last moment, I was sure that the weather would return to its rainy self and I could spend the weekend cleaning house, ironing, and thinkmg up a feature for the next week's weekly newspaper, the Eastern Oregon Review where I was employed, but at 10:30 Saturday morning I resigned myself to the fact that I was going camping and trying to avoid a dimb up the nearby mountain. The tri p fiom La Grande through Baker City, over Dooley Mountain and into Prairie City was pleasant enough, but whenStrawberry Mountain loomed in the distance, I did a doubletake. The rest of the family was delighted w ithitsforested and shale-covered peak basking in the sunshine high above the surrounding mountains. The summit ofover9,000 feetcaught atmy breath w hile therestofthe travelersassured me it was just an easy walk to the top. Since I hadn't thought of myself in relation to a mountain goat, I indicated promptly that the summit would do without my presence, but I would walk a ways with them. The sky had clouded over by the next morning but plans proceeded through breakfast, the packing of our lunch, and the stringing out of five of us along the trail. The little walk I had anticipated would have been accomplished at a fast trotifGeorgeand Ihad tried tokeep up with our sons, but we kept a steady pace behind them while they sprinted ahead and then waited for us at the lake, the falls, a mile-post sign. Although I huffed and puffed, the walk didn't seem tiring and the scenery was beautiful. The breathing problem fi nally gave way to aching muscles in the calves, then the upper portion and, later, the tightening moved around the front of my legs. But still we climbed up and up, resting briefly along the way. Lunch by a creek in an open meadow w as a pleasant experience,butIfelt no great desiretostay behind alone to await the return of my family, so I struggled once more to my feet and on we went. Although the climb was ever upward, it was not overly difficult, so there was no excuse to quit yet. See Dory/Page 2B

The second is the use of a lotof onion and a few cloves, giving unexpected depth as a counterpoint to the GARDEN FRESH TOMATO SOUP brightnessofthe tomatoes.

DORY Continued from Page 1B I had second thoughts on this, though, after we passed through the ghost town of a sunbaked driftwood forest and faced an abrupt rise and a thin line up the mountain indicating the trail we were to follow. My mind said, "stop," but my feet moved onward and up the bank we went with the family still carryingon theirvocalbanterof Getting Mother to the Top. Oxygen becomes a little thinner as you climb higher and legs that have known onlya reporter'sbeatget weaker. We had climbed the bank and moved onto another grassy plateau where I would have liked to stay, but the party spirit began to change into a determined goaland out acrossthe face of the mountain we went, walking on broken bits of shale. We were crossing the fine line I had seen from the highway and above us rosethe jagged cliffsofthe summit. The reluctant mountain climbermoved across the shale with some uncertainty while the rest of the family scamperedacrosslikechipmunks. When we reached the other side, we were one-fourth of a mile short of our goal, and it was upward on another bed of shale that shifted beneath my feet. I had begun to consider my actually reaching the top to share the success with the family, but my legs were threatening refusal to put one foot beforetheother. Standing together on the peak as a family had finally become important and this, coupled with the encouragement of the boys calling from the top and George waiting patiently to make the final ascent together, drove me on. We moved up the last few feet. There should have been a band playing for the excitement displayed upon my arrival, butthe tangy tasteof mandarin oranges reserved for the summit was triumph enough. From the peak the world lay in miniature, silent in golden light and varying shadows. It was, indeed, a special moment, savored for what it meant to us, shared as a family. Going up wasn't bad, other than the strain on the physical body and mental trepidation, but it was as nothing compared with the moment of descent. Looking down the shale slopes to tree line and further down into the valley below was a rather frightening experience, knowing a helicopter wouldn't suddenly fly over and remove me from my lofty perch. It was a long, long way down and I had to do it, something I hadn't considered. Picking my way downward over the loose rocky surface looked difficult to be sure, but I was greatly alarmed when the decision was reached to run directly down the steep sloperather than traverse by way of the narrow path that had brought us to the top. The two younger boys, Terry and Randy, took the trail on the run,butIstood poised for the downward flight with a strong hand on each side of megripping each ofm y wrists. I wish I might have viewed the scene from below, for the threeofusglissaded the rocky slope by digging in our heels on the moving shale at each running step. We might have been walking down an
