Wo ves: Ore on aces cu tura ivi e

By Gosia Wozniacka

With 81 adult gray wolves now calling Oregon home, wildlife officials last week recommended taking them ofF the state's list of protected animals.

They11 vote on the recommendation today.

Oregon has been considered a model for wolf management,

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Eradicated in Oregon over half a century ago,wolves arere-establishing a foothold in the state — but their fragilecomeback isdeepening a cultural divide over how much protection they need.

due to its emphasis on nonlethal methods to deter the animals from killing livestock. But the prospectofrelaxed protections is pitting ranchers who want more leeway to kill wolves against environmentalists who say their low population does not come even close to recovery.

There will be no immediate impact on wolves if they are delisted because a state management plan determines who can shoot a wolf and under what circumstances. But wolf advocates worry that delisting the animals will send the wrong message to SeeWolves / Page5A

• FEMA grants help state with fire funding following another above average season

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

The State of Oregon did not meet its wildfire insurance deductible in 2015, thanks to Federal Emergency Management Agency grants.

Oregon Department of Forestry State Forester Doug Decker explained to legislat ors and interested residents on a recent tour of Northeast Oregon the six FEMA grants prevented the state from going through its deductible this year, despite the "unprecedented nature" of the fire season.

Fire officials didn't want to believe in"the new normal" fire season, but the odds were stacked against them in 2015. Statewide temperatures from May through July of this year were the warmestaverage temperatures since 1895. That was coupled with a persistent drought; this year Gov. Kate Brown declareddrought in 24 ofOregon's36 counties.

'You can see we had a recipe for the summer we had," Decker said.

As of Oct. 19, the ODF had recorded 1,001 fires, 73 more than their 10-year average, according to a letterfrom Decker sent to the co-chairs of the Oregon Joint

Decker said about $19.5 million will be reimbursed by FEMA's grant program.

Another $25.5 million is expected to be recoveredfrom other partners.Still,the ODF is requesting more than $19.5 million of general fund dollars to cover the state's portion oflarge-fi recosts,according to the letter.

Buffalo Peak Golf Course Pro Scott Marcum has filed a tort claim against Union County stemming from the ethics complaint filed by Commissioner Jack Howard to the Oregon Ethics Commission in May. According to Howard, Marcum openly admitted to pocketing money the golf course received from the Junior Kids Camp tournament. Marcum claimed this was something the county had agreed on, but no documents have been found to back up that claim.

Union County Commissioners Mark Davidson's and Steve McClure's names were not on the ethics complaint filed by Howard.

The tort claim was sent Friday by Marcum's attorney, Steven Joseph, out of La Grande, to Wyatt Baum, counsel for the county. The accompanying letter stated that Marcum is "pursuing a claim for damages against Union County."

The letter goes on to say the daims against Union County"stem fium the allegations and SeeTort / Page5A

Hot Lake is shrouded in more than the steam thatrisesfrom itswaters on cold winter mornings.

The hot springs site is also shrouded in myths, tales historian Dick Roth is dispelling and in some cases afrrming in his latest book, "Hot Lake — A Short Story."

Much of the well illustrated book is acondensationofthreeearlier books Roth wrote about Hot Lake, but the work also includes new passages about myths that have become part of the fabric of the Hot Lake story.

"I wanted to put to rest some of the myths and stories that were unsubstantiated," Roth said, adding that he alsowanted to givecredence to apparent myths that turned out to be factual.

Roth lives in Orting, Washington, but knows Hot Lake firsthand, for he grew up there and his parents, the late A.J. and Fern Roth, owned Hot Lake from 1942 to 1974.

The first myth Roth tackles involves Wild Bill Hickok, the legendarygunfi ghter and gambler ofthe Old West. According to Wikipedia, Hickok visited Hot Lake's hotel in the 1800s. Hickok, who died in 1876 in the Midwest, would have visited Hot Lake in the 1860s or 1870s when it had a hotel known as Hot Lake House, Roth said.

The author conducted a thorough search of La Grande and Union newspapers in the 1860s and 1870s and never found any mention of Hickok coming to Union County.

"Any such visit would definitely have been reported during these times!" Roth wrote.

A second myth Roth dispelled involvesDr.W.T.Phy,the renowned surgeon who was at Hot Lake for much of the time it was a hospital, from the early 1900s through the late 1930s.

Roth said it is often stated that Phy knew William and Charles Mayo, the brothers who helped found the worldrenowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and that they frequently visited Hot Lake. The author said

"~ c ~

cating that the piano was ever owned

by Lee's wife,M aryAnna Randolph Custis Lee, or that it played itself.

Some published accounts claim that the piano was played by a ghost.

Hot Lake has long been reputed to have ghosts but Roth said there is no truth to this claim. He said that nobody in his family, which lived at Hot Lake for 32 years, ever had a ghostly encounter there.

'Thereisno basisoffactforghosts, none at all," Roth said.

A story that Roth thought was possibly a myth but turned out to be true involved tales of wind blowing boxcarsofftherailroad tracks atHot Lake in the early 1900s. Roth found newspaperarticlesabout thisoccurring in December 1903 and once in the early 1930s. Fortunately nobody was injured in the mishaps, likely because the boxcars were idle.

"No part of the trains were moving," Roth said.

The December 1903 boxcar incident probably did not surprise many people in the area.

'Train crews coming over the mountains from the east reported the heaviest winds every known in the valley up to that point had occurred," Roth wrote.

Roth's book also contains new material regarding a minor controversy over whether Native Americans once had encampments at Hot Lake. The authorsaid thatforyearshebelieved reports indicating that Indian tribes once used the Hot Lake area as a place to treat the sick and wounded.

Roth said that several1914 newspaper articles he recently found aboutHot Lake have given him reason to reevaluate his initial assumption. They indicate that Native Americans never had encampments at Hot Lake in part because those camping there were at risk ofbeing attacked by unfriendly tribes.

"Hot Lake — A Short Story" is published by Heritage Quest Press and will be available in La Grande at The Mitre's Touch Gallery, a shop at the Eagles Hot Lake RV Park and in Union at Union Drug Co.

Fred Hill collection

This photo shows the construction of Hot Lake sanitarium's brick addition in 1906. The 105-room structure reportedly cost $500,000 to build. there is no truth to this story.

The Mayo Historical Unit, at Roth's request, did an extensive review and found nothingindicating that the Mayo brothers were ever at Hot Lake or that Phy had any social interactions with them. Roth also wrote that no evidence was found indicating that Phy, who died in 1931, received any medical training at the Mayo Clinic.

'There is no documentation that he had any social interaction with the Mayo brothersand no documentation that they ever visited," Roth said.

"There is absolutely no merit to the story. It is interesting ibutl there is no basisoffact."

Roth can understand why rumors of Phy's connections to the Mayo Clinic got started since Hot Lake once billed itself in advertisements as the Mayo Clinic of the West.

The author also writes that rumors often circulate that Hot Lake once served as an asylum for mental patients. Roth said there is no evidence indicating Hot Lake was ever a mental health facility.

"In fact this was never the case," Roth said.

Another enduring fable addressed is that Hot Lake once served as a hospital for tuberculosis patients. This

would seem plausible since it operated as a health care facility from the early 1900s until the late 1930s, a time when there were many tuberculosis sanitariums in the United States.

Roth, however, is certain that Hot Lake was never a tuberculosis hospital. He quotes a promotional brochure published in the mid-1920s to put this notion to rest. It says the following about Hot Lake's hospital, then named Hot Lake Sanitarium."

"The Sanitarium is open for the treatment of all conditions, both medical and surgical, except tuberculosis of the lungs or acute infectious diseases."

One of the most intriguing myths Roth addresses concerns a player pianolocatedforyearsin a Hot Lake building. The piano supposedly played itself and is said to have been owned by the wife of Robert E. Lee, the legendary Civil War general for the Confederacy.

Roth said the piano in question was donated by a La Grande church when Hot Lake served as a care home for senior citizens in the 1950s and 1960s.

"I was there when the piano was donated," Roth said.

He said there is no evidence indi-

Katheleen Friend June 16, 1920 — October 15, 2015

Kathelcen Friend, 95, passed away in Boise, ID on October 15, 2015. A visitation was held in Baker City and a graveside service was held October 23, 2015 at Eternal Hills Cemetery in Klamath Falls, OR. Kathelcen was born June 16, 1920 in Branson, MO. to Truman T. Smith and Daisy Pearl (Moore) Smith. She attended Kirbyville High School in Kirbyville, MO. and went to college at the School of The Ozarks, graduating in 1941. She married Wilburn (Wilbur) Lee Friend in May of 1945 in Springfield, MO. Kathelcen was a teacher, secretary, telephone operator, home maker and mother. She retired from Pacific Northwest Bell as a telephone operator in the late 1970's. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, camping, reading and photography.

A large part of who Kathelcen was is defined by her deep seated faith in God. Until she lost her sight, she was an avid reader of the bible and attended church regularly. She was quick witted with a quiet but always evident sense of humor. Observant and intelligent, she often appeared introverted and reserved but once she got to know a person and accepted them as a friend, the reserve disappeared and she was lively and joking with all she considered close to her. She was not hesitant in expressing her opinion of someone or something, especially politicians. She enjoyed observing weather and discussing weather phenomenon. She often said if she had life to do over again, she would be a Meteorologist.

She retained her quick wit, lively sense of humor and sharp memory throughout her life. She was a memorable person. She will be missed.

Wilbur and Kathelcen moved from Missouri to Klamath Falls, OR. in the summer of 1946 and moved from Klamath Falls to Baker City in 1984.

She is survived by her son Rex Friend of Petersburg, AK. and numerous nieces and nephews located in Oregon and the Mid West.

Kathelcen was preceded in death by her husband Wilbur in 1996, her mother Daisy in 1983 and her father Truman in 1954.

Contributions may be made, in memory of Kathelcen, to Relay for Life or Heart N Home Hospice through Gray's West k Company Pioneer Chapel, 1500 Dewey Ave. Baker City, OR. 97814.

By Trish Yerges ForThe Observer

The parents of the Imbler High School senior class are raising m oney for a grad party by hosting"Empower Hour" at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at Imbler High School with speaker Sue Archuleta, product representative for Damselin Defense, a Boise-based manufacturer of non-lethal, reality-based defenseproducts thatcan protect and save lives during an assault.

'This is open to the general public," said Connie Hoskin, event coordinator with the senior class parents group, "and it's not just for women, but for anyone who wants to be safe."

According to national statistics, a violentcrime occurs every 26 seconds, and one in three women experiencedomestic violencefrom their partners. One in five women aresurvivorsofrape and a child is abducted every 40 seconds.

"Sure, you might think we live in a safe community, but these things still do happen here, and they can happen to you," said Archuleta, who is one of 10,000 product reps countrywide.

She began representing Damsel in Defense products about four years ago after experiencing a couple of dangerous encounters ofher own.

"I wasstreetsmart,"she said,"and that's what got me out of it. I know not to let men walk behind me. But if I hadn't have been street smart, my story might have been diferent."

Archuleta doesn'tfeelcomfortable carrying a concealed weapon, but she felt she needed something more than her street smarts and a loud voice to protect herself. That's when one ofher girlfriends, who became a Damsel in Defense product rep, introduced her to the company.

Her girl friend had adaughter who was heading off to college and she wantedtoequip,empower and educateher toprotectherselfin that unpredictable environment.

"I just think that girls going off to college are very naive," said Archuleta."Notall,buta lotofthem are."

She drew an illustration of a female student walking to her car from a school building, and that student instinctively felt someone was following her. What should she do?

"My first instinct would be to yell out, 'Hey Dan, wait up! I'm right here!' even if in reality, I had no one to meet, and I was alone. Fake it. I've even done this in a parking lot," said Archuleta."Now, I'm more aware of my surroundings. Another thing that's important is to take

It's important, Archuleta said, to have some defense tool in each room of your house in case a situation arises anywhere in your home.

'You might be in your bedroom when an intruder breaks into your house," she said.'The intruder may figure the house is empty, and they don't know there's a stay-at-home mom there. So guess what? She gets attacked."

The defense tools also work effectivel y against aggressivedogs that one might encounter while out walking. Sometimes an unleashed aggressivedog leaves itshome property to attack a walker and his or her accompanying dog on the sidewalk or road.

"So what's worse, a vet bill or a stun gun that cost me $50?" she asked rhetorically."I'll use the noise alarm first and that scares most dogs away. But if it attacks me, I won't hesitate to use my stun gun that I've been holding in my hand."

Archuleta's display has many options for defense. The Imbler High School will be able to see the Damnsel in Defense items Tuesday.

At the "Empower Hour" fundraiser, Archuleta will talk about how to use peppersprays effectively.

"If you're going to buy pepper spray from me only to put it in your purse, then don't buy it," she warned. "If someone approaches you in a parking lot, you're not going to have time to dig through your purse to find whatever tools you have. You've just taken your eyes off of him and given him another second to injure you. Instead, put your pepper spray on your keychain where you can get at it quickly.

Most people carry their keys in their hands as they walk to and from theircars."

At the Imbler fundraiser presentation, Archuleta will demonstrate how to use a stun gun, pepper spray, strikingtools,personal alarm, door alarms, whistle bracelets, lanyards, travel kits and emergency kits.

"It makes me feel good knowing I'm helpinggirlsand others protect themselves," said Archuleta.

Admittance to the presentation is freeofcharge,and a portion ofthe proceeds from sales of Damsel in Defense products will benefit the grad party. Refreshments will be served at the event.

Enter the Imbler High School lobby and follow the signs to the appropriate classroom.

f there was a single event in your past that foreshadowed your future, some may say that was their senior class project.

At Imbler High School, juniors and seniors called them"Panthera Projects"something teacher Becky W ilson started over20years ago.In choosinga project,the student must pick something they have a passion for, something that either benefits the communityin some way or is career-based.

Often these projects are a demonstration of selfless concern for others, such as when a student puts on a running event to benefit cancer research. One student I know built book boxes and set them up in a high traffic area in Imbler. Lo and behold! They were in immediate use and the community was enjoying them.

This year Imbler juniors are planning manyinteresting projects .Severalstudentsam working together with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to build floating platforms for ducks, bird houses and quail habitat. They are also going to build bat boxes for breeding and hibernation.

What an exciting project that will be for these young minds, and it will benefit the ecosystem too.

Myown son, Mark, will be involved in a construction pmject to benefit the Union Countyfairgmunds. Others have chosen to impmve the Union County Stock Show livest ockpens ororganizeand run a Rodeo Bible Camp. One Imbler student won grant funding to upgrade the kitchen at the fairgmunds.

Still others have constructed sign boards at Imbler High School, improved the spectator stands on school gmunds and planned the installation ofpedestrian flashinglights in downtown Imbler for after school hours.

Everystudent'sprojectadds some gem ofenhancement to their school, their community or to a worthy cause. Itis an expression of selfless giving and oflearninghow to leave a legacy, a footprint thatyou walked this earth and that you camd aboutimproving the qualityoflife amundyou even in a small way.

More important than stimulatingcamerinterests, senior pmjects develop personality traits in these students that will guide and serve them thmughout life like selfsacrificing generosity, empathy, pmblem-solving, kindness, discernment, understanding, courage, wisdom and volunteerism.

One day these Imbler students will reach maturity and look at their adult world and ask, Where can I make a difference?" When they answer that question, then their past senior project will have helped to shape their future.

OREGON IN BRIEF Erom wire reports

BPA plans for line on horizon VANCOUVER, Wash.

BEND — Ifyou were in pain,you might consider turning to medical marijuana. But what about cannabis for your pets? In dog-centric Bend, a trend in cannabis may be picking up steamcannabistreats,capsulesand topicals for canines and cats, to help manage pain or behavior.

The difference between medical marijuana for humans and cannabis products for pets? Essentially any cannabis products on the market for animals are hemp, meaning there is no THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis that induces a high. But the products contain other compounds, such as cannabidiol, believed by some people to help in treating cancer and other ailments.

One company, Canna-Pet, which stands for"Cannabinoid Nutrition Adapted for Pets," offersfl avored dogbiscuitsand capsules for dogs or cats, made fiom hemp.

Bend Veterinary Clinic sells both the dog biscuits, which come in maple baconand turkey dinner fl avors,and the capsules,according to aveterinarian on staff there, Dr. Marie Stanley. The products aren't a"first-line" choice by vets there for any pain medication, she said, but the clinic decided to sell them when they saw interest from clients. cwe have had clients who basically

Marijuana edibles can be especially potent — and potentially dangerousfor pets. If you find that your animal has gotten into a stash, it's important to bring them to the vet as soon as possible.

'You can definitely tell when an animal is stoned, just like if you look at a human and know what to look for," Abigail Craig, a bud tender at High Grade Organics in Bend said.

Craig said while she's aware some of the customers at High Grade Organics could be passing on products meant for people to their pets for pain relief, it's not something she would recommend.

As for how to tell if an animal likes getting high? According to Craig, it mightreact the same way a dog doeswhenits owner pulls out the peanut butter container.'When they see the paraphernalia come out, they mightrunup and jump onyour lap."

Inreality though, when animals accidentallyingest a stash, it's important to call the vet, according to CunInImgs at Riverside Animal Hospital. It's common for dogs to getinto edibles, which afe often times especiallypotent for animals, she said.

Both Cummings and Daniels said that although cases of animals getting into pothaven'tincreased sincerecreational marijuana was legalized in Oregon, owners have become more honest about what their animals ate, and that's a huge help.

Cummings said it's always best to be upfront so staffers aren't running unneeded tests to find what kind of toxin the animal ate.

As for cannabis without THC, one thingseverallocalvetsagreed on isthat more studiesareexpected tocome out in the next few years, which could move cannabis products for animals further into the mainstream.

"I think even in a couple years, it might have a role," Cummings said.

Police shoot armed suicidal man PORTLAND — Portland Police say officers shot and killed a suicidal man who pointed a gun at his head, was screaming and ranting and had fired two rounds outside a Portland hospital.

Offtcers responded to the areashortly before 6a.m .

Friday. They couldn't immediately tell what he was holding, but could see it was a gun once the sun came up.

Police contained the area around him and crisis negotiators spoke with him.

Two tactical officers shot and killed the man as they moved in to relieve the patrol officers who initially responded.

Sgt. Pete Simpson told the Oregonian that it's still unclear what prompted them to shoot.

No one at the hospital was harmed.

CHRIS CQLLINS

Amost welcome BSS1StBIlt A few tiny tomatoes that dropped during cleanup and the remnants of our zucchini patch are all that's left to remind us of the plants that flourished in our backyard this summer.

We had a beautiful garden that produced avariety offruitsand vegetables.

Potted yellow and pink dahlias and gold and orange marigolds brightened the scene as well.

But now they're gone.

And as I do every year, I'm left to wonder how in the world all that produce managed to make its way into the jars of sauces and jams that have filled our basement pantry.

Actually, this fall has been different and I know exactly how it happened. I had a personal assistant, also known as our daughter, Janey-Rae, to help.

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

Sweet, sad memories

of apples Dear Diary: I awoke in the night thinking of the apples that grew and fell fiom the trees where we used to live, and my heart grew numb with grief and longing.

They were only apples without an official name because they were of an unofficial breed like seedlings, or some so old the names had vanished fiom the pages.

Certainly they were not like the beautifully waxed ones lining up in atlractive lines in store bins.

They were just little apples, some years given over to little wiggle creatures that thought of them as home depending on the season and the activity of the birds.

Aspen: The tree that

Autumn is here, our wood stove has been lit, which makes it officially soup season.

There is nothing more comforting on a rainy day than a pot of soup on the stove. I have alreadymade homemade chicken soup and cornbread, butlet'sface it— we allhave that recipe. I wanted to share with you a few soup dishes that are pretty easy to make and a bit different for the palate.

This tilapia soup recipe is hearty, full of flavor and absolutely delicious! It's a simplified version of a common soup that is served in Brazil. You can make this quickly on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. Feel free to substitute salmon in place of tilapia but that will impart a stronger fish flavor. This soup is best when served with rice or tortillas.

Secondly, thankyou, Melissa Lockett, for this fabulous tomato soup recipe. The cognac gives this soup a decadent edge. This super easyrecipe makes theperfectsideto agrilled cheese sandwich; the perfect autumn meal.

And finally, my husband suggested that I make broccoli and Stilton soup. When I lived in England I bought some Stilton cheese at the farmers market, and it had such a strong "aroma" that after I wrapped it five times in plastic it still smelt when I opened the refiigerator. If I had a place to hangit outside I would have stored it there.

Here in America it is unlikely that you will find such a strong cheese. I picked up some Stilton at the Boise Co-op, but I don't think you will have to look that far to find some. This recipe was another winner in my book.

I hope you are all enjoying the change of seasons and I would love to hear what your cold weather dishes are.

A group of aspen in Colorado was said to be the largest living organism in the country imaybe the world). They just spread and spread and it is wonderful — where there is plenty of room.

Several years ago our neighbors dug up a fairly large shoot from one of their flower beds, quite some distance from the parent tree and moved ittothe back oftheirproperty.Beforelong we had trees coming up all along our large garage out back. We would spray them to

As much as I hated dealing with the trees in my flower beds it is a little sad to have the aspen gone next door, because I did

They have not been a problem, but now with 15 full-grown turkeys, I am beginning to question the future.

Being the person with many more questions than answers, Idecided tocontactthelocal Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife office to learn more about our new neighbors and was provided some interesting information.

Prior to the time of my ancestors arriving in Indiana, turkeys were abundant in what became 39 of the lower 48 states. Because my ancestors and others who settled in the turkeys' former habitats and hunted them for food, turkeys became sparse in 21ofthe states by 1920. Early wildlife m anagers realized thatthis native bird was in trouble and began atrap-and-transport effort to save the wild turkeys.

Not quite sure when these crittersdecided to move into the neighborhood and who now feel more than comfortable, foraging several times a day in our yard.

There is not just one family, but three hens that have raised their chicks and paraded them proudly through our neighborhood as we watched them grow from babies to almost full grown.

It has been fun, especially when the chicks were small.

The hens have been excellent mothers keeping their babies closely watched and protected.

They love to dig in the bark dust and send it flying while looking for bugs, seeds, and small sprouts. For that I thank them since there will be fewer weeds next spring. I am also thankful that they spend most of their time in the grass or bark dust at our house so there is no surprise gift left on the

Central Oregon without much success. In 1961, the first Merriams were released in Eastern Oregon. It was not an easy time for either the ODFW or the turkeys,butboth persevered.

In a 1988 intra-department memo from Ken Durbin to the regionaloffice of ODFW in La Grande, the following information tells the tale of our local turkeys' ancestors'journey from New Mexico to Oregon in 1961.

"New Mexico captured two gobblersand fi vehenson March 4, and telephoned that the birds would arrive in Pendleton at noon, March 5, via military air transportation. Arrangements were made to pick up the turkeys at that time.

Weather conditions forced a detour to Salt Lake City, where personnel of the Utah Game Department assumed responsibility for shipping the birds by West Coast Airlines.

The first attempt failed on Monday morning, March 6, due to the crate being too large.

The turkeys were transferred to individual cardboard cartons and loadedout Monday evening en route to Walla Walla. They failedto arriveat8:40 p.m., Monday as scheduled, being offloadedat Boise because oftoo

much weight. Subsequently, arrangements were made to relay the birds by pickup from Boise to Troy, finally arriving in Troy at 8a.m.,Tuesday morning March 7. The release was made at 9:30 a.m. on Eden Bench near the lower Cummings place. All birds flew strongly at the time ofliberation despite the longdelay ofatleast72 hours en route."

Since that time turkeys have flourished in all of Oregon.

In 1965, the first legal turkey season was started with an eight-day hunt in November, adding a statewide six-week spring season in 1987. Wild turkey hunting is the fastest growing form of hunting in the U.S. today forseveralreasons.It offers an opportunity for spring hunting as well as being a challenging sport providing food fit for a Thanksgiving feast.

This Thanksgiving when I put my Safeway turkey into the oven, I will think not only of my ancestors and the hard times they endured, but I will think of my neighbor turkeys' ancestors and what they had to put up with so their descendants could live in my neighborhood in La Grande. Have a great Thanksgiving! Enjoy!

they would firm-up into jellies, jams, and syrups. So good on hotcakes, waffles, homemade bread.

Was I thinking of all of these things in the early morning hours when I awakened crying for the taste of an ancient apple? Of course not. It was just the longing for something that no longer existedforme.

I was asking myself, does my special apple tree, the one I call Grampa's Tree still stand and bear its fruit or has it given way to disease and ripped apart trunk so that its removal really became necessary?

Will the grafted young switch survive in Randy's garden in the Willamette Valley? If it does, will it bear the same kind of fruit as the one I remember?

There were other apple trees, some new ones with delici ous fruitthatGeorge had planted that would be wonderful to eat as well, but they were dwarf trees and rightatdeerheight forchoice selection, so I wonder if anyone gets use of them besides the animals.

Continued from Page 1B Her return to Baker City while she waited to hearfrom prospective employers coincided with canning season.

Janey-Raegraduated in June from Oregon State University's Cascade Campus at Bend with a master's degree in counseling and began applying for work soon afterward. When September arrived and she was still unemployed, she came back to the nest she'd flown from 10 years earlier.

So, during the next two months she not only helped with housework and church activities,shechopped zucchini,peppers,garlicand tomatoes. She cried her eyes out while mincing onions when I couldn't step in to do that work for her.

And shesterilizedjarsand prepared lidsfor sealing our wonderful, homegrown concoctions after we'd simmered them to the perfect consistency for canning.

M y job, astheresident food preservation expert and mother in charge, was simply to arrive home in the evening to fill the jars with the product ofher day's work.

My daughter then wiped the jars' rims to remove any unwanted residue that would foul up the sealing process,placed a lid on top ofeach jar and then twisted the screw band into place.

Next I lifted each jar into the canning kettle filled with boiling water to process for the appropriate amount of time. After removing the jars from the kettle, we'd listen intently to hearthe"pop,pop,pop"thatindicatessealing success.

For me it was a grand way to spend the fall.

And a time I will always treasure.

I learned as much, if not more, watching m y daughter maneuver her way graciously around her doting, sometimes overbearing, and often scatterbrained mother as she took in the canning lessons offered at the kitchen sink and over the stovetop.

As all things must, that season also has come to an end. The canning is completed, the garden has been stripped and Janey-Rae has found a job.

She started her new career Nov. 2 in Pendleton. We're glad she landed work so close to home, and I look forward to weekend canning parties next fall.

As for her, she's happy she's still on the sunny side of Oregon — and glad she won't be crying her eyes out to produce pizza sauce, salsaand picklesfor atleastanother year.

Deadset on a pass-heavy game plan leading up to the matchup with College of Idaho, the gusty conditions forced Eastern Oregon University head coach Tim Camp into an audible. The spotlight found seldom-used Alfred Gross, who took the opportunity and steamrolled ahead with hit.

The running back picked up the Mountaineers' stagnant rushing attack with a punishing style, and quarterback Zach Bartlow tossed three touchdowns as Eastern held the Coyotes scoreless from the second quarter on to claim a 21-10 Frontier Conference victory Saturday at Community Stadium. ''We needed that to get back on track," Eastern senior cornerback Byron Benson said."October was a tough month, but I'm glad that we turned it around to start N ovember.

Itwasa hugewin for the Mounties."

Bartlow finished with 179 yards on 15-of-27 passing with no interceptions. Two of his scoring strikes went to receiver Josh Richards, who led the team with 105 receiving yards on four receptions. But the spark on offense was Gross, who enteredSaturday mainly a specialteams player.
