A violent criminal from Union County and his wife are up for long prison sentences in connection with a 2011 multi-state crime spree that included the shooting of a Roy Jessica Wyoming resident. Fritts Fritts According to reports, Roy Scott Fritts, whose criminal history includes the attempted murder of Union CountySheri:ffSteve Oliver in 2001, is looking at a life sentence without parole in Wyoming. His wife, Jessica Fritts, recently entered guilty pleas to federal charges of conspiracy to commit carjacking, aiding and abetting carjacking, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. When she appears for her sentencing in Wyoming federal comt Aug. 22, she could receive up to 30 years. According to an Associated Press story by Ben Neary, a plea agreement for her is contingent on her husband pleading guilty to Wyoming charges of attempted murder and larceny. In 2001, Roy Fritts was convicted of firing shots at Oliver as Oliver pursued him along Interstate 84 near North Powder. The pmsuit ended when the pickup truck in which Fritts was a passenger crashed. Fritts was sentenced to 10 years and was released to the supervision of Union County Community Corrections in 2011. In July, 2011 he absconded with his vvife Jessica, who earlier had a conviction fur bank robbery.

DENVER (AP)-A 21-year-old man was arrested for investigation of first-degree murder after a veteran Denver policewoman who was raising her 12-yeru·-old daughter alone was shot and killed during a free jazz festival, police said Monday. Suspect Rollen Oliver was taken inro custody late Sunday after witnesses gave a description of the gunman. Police also recovered a gun and said they believe Oliver was the only person involved in the attack. Police Chief Robert White said investigators were not sure if Officer Celena Hollis was the target of the shooting when she answered a call about a disturbance in the park. "There was a tragic event last night and a beautiful young, single mother and a valuable member of the Denver Police Department lost her life," Public Safety Manager Alex Martinez said. Authorities said they did not know the cause of the disturbance. Hollis was in uniform and off-duty when she was shot in the head and later died at a hospital. Hollis was a Detroit police officer before she joined the Denver Police Depmtment in 2005. She also served as president of the Denver Police Department Black Police Officers Organization. The park remained closed while police searched for more evidence. At least three shots were fired Sunday shortly after a jazz band finished playing on a lake-side pavilion stage. Concertgoers scattered during the shooting. More than 1,000 people were at the City Park Jazz concert, the fourth of 10 shows scheduled for this summer.

understanding of one of history's most significant events. "I found that the best way to learn about the fall ofConsantinople was to talk to someone who was in it," Monal1an said. Most of these characters are individuals Monahan created to symbolize a specific group from a time in history, not actual people with biographies. Monahan said playing characters he invented is far easier because there are no wrong answers for personal questions. ''When you are playing a real person you have to be more precise," Monahan said. " Generic characters who are accurate to the period are easier to play."
The EOU professor began playing characters in his classes not long after coming to La Grande in 1986. Greg and h:is late wife Rita moved to La Grande because of two job opportunities. He had been hired as an Eastern history professor, and Rita, an RN, had landed a teaching position at the Oregon Health and Science University School ofNm'Sing at Eastern. At Eastern Greg Monahan shared not only h:is fascination of history with students but also his love ofjazz. Monahan did so by hosting a weekly jazz radio program on KEOL, EOU's student radio station. His Stmday morning show has been regularly heard on KEOL for the past 26 years. His last program aired Sunday night. "I love jazz and this gave me the opportunity to shm·e my affection for jazz music," Monahan said. Getting to the radio station in the 1980s was difficult because KEOL was then located on the upper level of Pierce Library, which was often closed when Monahan's show aired. This meant Monahan had to use an unconventional route to reach KEOI.:s studio. "Sometimes I would be climbing up the icy fire escape while carrying records," Monahan said. Monahan has also pursued his love oftheater at Eastern, appearing in numerous EOU productions at McKenize and Schwarz theaters in Loso Hall. Some of Monahan's initial performances were at Eastern's original NoName Theatre which was located in Hunt Hall. "It was a very intimate setting," Monahan said
He said he loved the old theater but it did not compare to the more modem and spacious McKenzie and Schwm·z theaters, which opened in 1990. Monahan has enjoyed performing on stage but said the satisfaction he derives does not match that enjoyed by connecting with students and helping them develop. "It is fun to watch them develop a command of learning and discover themselves," Monahan said. The sense offulfillment an educator feels :is heightened when students grasp a concept for the first time. ''All teachers live for the moment the light bulb goes on," Monahan said. He describes being around students as invigorating. "It is fun, it keeps you young."
Portrays characters Columbus and Washington are the two real characters Monahan has portrayed. He read everything he could on them and learned his share of fascinating infom1ation about them, particularly Washington. Monahan learned for example, the Washington's false teeth were usually made of ivory, not wood. These dentures were impmted from England. This meant that during the American Revolution when trade with England was cut offWashington could not get ivory dentures and briefly had to wem· wooden ones. The EOU professor also discovered many things about out first president which are not common knowledge. "I learned that most of his best friends were women." He also found that Washington was thin skinned when it came to critic:ism. "He did not like newspapers (because of the criticism they leveled)," Monahan said.

The historian said he will miss almost everything about living in La Grande from the students and faculty at Eastern, to seeing community members at the post office and Safeway. ''This is a special place, I cou1d sense that as soon as I came here." Monahan, during the course of26 years at Eastem, developed a reputation for being a demanding professor, one he said is well deserved. "I always challenged my students, I was paid to challenge them."

State must prioritize tax reform The Oregonian:
Midway through his Rethink Everything Tour, aka his third tenn, Gov. John Kitzhaber has pushed to change the way health care and public education are delivered in Oregon. With two years left in this tenn, however, and a possible fourth stint in the offing, the governor suggested to KATU on Sunday that he's considering a new big-picture project: the state's revenue structure. Yougo,gov. The process is still in its very early stages. Kitzhaber spokesman Tim Raphael says the governor has spent a lot of time recently talking with business and labor groups and working to define the problem and identifY responses that are "actually in the realm ofthe possible." The governor's deliberate pace is understandable. Oregon's last major revenue fight, over the lamentable Measures 66 and 67, was exhausting and bitter, and few people want to rush into a sequel. BUT TillS STATE NEEDS to address its revenue structure sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, any discussion about revenue must include an equally serious discussion about the state's spending problems, particularly those related to the Public Employees Retirement System. The reasons for haste exist in the realm of the already-happening. State tax collections have been less than impressive for years, and the costs ofFERS and other employee benefits continue to erode public services. The outlines of both the revenue and spending problems are generally well-known. On the revenue side, Oregon's practically a one-trick pony. The state has no general sales tax, and property taxes have been limited through the initiative process. That places the burden of filling the general fund, which pays for schools and various other services, largely on the income tax, which fluctuates heavily with the condition of the economy. On the spending side, Oregon has been hamstrung by the cost of public employee benefits, particularly those associated with PERS. IDEALLY, A PLAN SUPPORTED by the governor would ask everyone to sacrifice for the greater good. On the revenue side, that's likely to involve the personal and corporate income tax kickers, which return excess revenue to Oregonians whenever tax collections exceed expected levels by at least 2 percent. The kicker funds presumably would be stored in a rainy day fund to be used when income tax revenues crater, as they inevitably do. And on the spending side, employee groups whose members would benefit from a more dependable revenue stream would be asked to tolerate reductions in retirement and other benefits that have become unsustainable. This is a discussion Oregonians are ready to have, and the 2013legislative session is approaching.

Dethrone Emperor Obama Ifyou don't like something or want to get something done, you don't let little things like the Constitution get in your way. For more than three years Emperor Obama has been behaving as if the separation of powers is a pesky fly to be swatted away whenever it becomes too annoying. If (';Qngres.s doesn't pass the legislation he desires, he uses his executive powers and regulatory agencies to get his way. Ifhe doesn't like a law or thinks it's unconstitutiona~ he tells his minions and bureaucrats not to enforce it. In the past Emperor Obama used the EPA to create new cap-and-trade laws and the Department of Health and Human Services to force Catholics and other religious groups to go against their own consciences and provide their employees with abortion and birth-control coverage in their health care packages. His latest edict came last week when he decided it would be nice to give about 1.4 million undocumented young
MICHAEL REAGAN GU EST COLUMNI ST
immigrants temporary relieffrom depmtation. It didn't matter to Emperor Obama what the legislative branch thought about the "DREAM Act," which would provide conditional permanent residency to the well-behaved children of parents who carne to the U.S. illegally. IT ALSO DIDN'T MA'ITER TO HIM that various versions of the act
had failed to get through Congress for 10 years. He signed an imperial order and pronounced that his administration would stop deporting young illegal immigrants who meet the requirements of the DREAM Act. In other words, once again our imperial president told Congress to buzz off. Saving his royal butt from being tossed out of the White House was more important than the rule oflaw and constitutional niceties. This latest presidential power grab re-
ally wasn't about helping young Latinos or working toward a long-run solution to a tricky immigration problem. It was about getting more Latinos to reward him with their votes in November. Have you noticed how he never wants to solve anything in the long run? Whether it's the payroll tax extension, the Keystone Pipeline or immigration, he wants it to remain an issue until December so he can use it as a ploy to get re-elected. Emperor Obarna obviously could not care less about helping the Latino population. When Democrats had control of both houses of Congress he did absolutely nothing for them. People on the right and many on the left are seriously concerned that we have an imperial president in the White House. Let's hope the America people will be made aware of it, too, because they're the only ones who can dethrone Emperor Obama. Michael Reagan is the son of former President Ronald Reagan.
Your views Protecting salmon To the Editor: In a thoughtful letter to The 0 bserver, John Isley asks for an answer to his question: If dams are the primary cause of the low adult salmon returns, why were the returns also low on the (coastal) rivers without dams? Although an easy answer does not exist, I offer these factors: The coastal rivers mentionedAlsea, Siletz, Nehalem- have all been hugely and repeatedly altered (devastated from a salmon's point of view) by roadbuilding and clearcutting on a scale that would boggle the mind of most eastsiders. ~umerous photos document these actions. Here are the words of Pete Sandrock, former Benton County

district attorney: "I went out with an OSP game trooper who showed me a clearcut on a tributary of the Alsea. It looked like the DMZ. Mud and slash covering the hillsides as far as I could see. There was no riparian buffer on the stream, just churned up mud." In contrast, the Snake River system contains the most intact salmon habitat in the lower 48. Idaho has more than 5,500 miles of pristine salmon and steelhead rivers and tributaries (think \1iddle Fork Salmon , Selway, Lochsa ... ). Kortheast Oregon adds excellent habitat on the Wenaha, Minam, lower Grande Ronde and others. This means salmon issues are far different for the Alsea than for the Snake. The Alsea has very degraded habitat that really hurts salmon runs.
The Snake has thousands of miles of wonderful habitat, but the dams prevent healthy runs of wild fish. Botl1 runs are hurt - one primarily by poor stream habitat, one primarily by eight dams (prior to the total extinction at the bottom of the ninth: Hells Canyon Dam) . Tt is true that Snake River runs have in creased in recent years. The Fish Passage Center determined this bump up is due to increased spills at the dams. Recently improving ocean conditions haven't hurt. But keep in mind that 80 percent of these runs are h atchery tish. The returns of wild salmon in the Snake basin are not yet healthy. And that's a dam shame.

Iowa woman running barefoot across USA DES MOINES, Iowa (AP)- An Iowa woman is rurming barefoot across the United States to raise money to provide shoes for needy children. Rae Heim, 18, of Carroll, started her cross-country trek in Boston in April and hopes to reach Huntington Beach, Calif, in October. The Des Moines Register 0lttp://dmreg.co/NsciC1) caught up with her this week
in Iowa as she crested a hill near Victor in 91-degree heat. Heim stopped to talk but wasn't out ofbreath. She said she started running barefoot after breaking a toe last year and shedding her IWlning shoes for comfort. Shoes now feel like dead weight to her, although she wore them through New Jersey, where broken glass and nails littered the highway, and dons them on gravel roads.
The bottoms of her feet are like slabs ofleather. When they start burning in the heat, she puts on toe socks. ''We are born to run barefoot," Heim said. She told the newspaper that she hated to run and even dreaded rounding the bases while playing softball. "It was like a punishment," she said. But then Heim realized that people thought she couldn't run, and she set out
to prove them wrong. She entered road races and last summer met a middleaged man who ran across An1erica, which inspired her. What started as a personal adventure has become a fundraiser for Soles4Souls, a charity that supplies shoes to needy kids. ''When I feel like quitting, I think of the $2,900 I have raised," Heim said. ''That's 2,900 pairs of shoes."
There have been a few bumps during her trek. After the first week of 40-plus mile days, she had a twisted ankle, painful Achilles tendon and sore knee. She sat on the side of the road, crying, and then called her mom. "My parents taught us that you set your goals and don't give up," Heim said. Now, she's averaging 20 miles a day. She carries her
belongings in a backpack. Her mom watches her every move with a GPS and has friends set up along the route to check on her. Heim said most of her journey has been pleasant. "The kindness I've seen in people surprised me. You always hear all the wrong with the world," she said. "But I've seen nothing but good in the world."
High coon rejects pan ot Arizona immigration law WASHINGTON (AP) -The Supreme Court threw out key provisions ofArizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants Monday but said a much-debated portion could go forward - that police must check the status of people stopped for various reasons who might appear to be in the U.S. illegally. The cowt upheld the "show me your papers" requirement, but even there
the justices said the provision could be subject to additional legal challenges. And they removed some teeth by prohibiting officers from arresting people on immigration charges. The Obama administration had assailed the Arizona law as an unconstitutional intrusion into an area under Washington's control, and the court struck down provisions that would have made state
crimes out of federal immigration violations. But several lawmakers and civil rights groups said the part of the law left in place by the high court was an invitation to racial profiling. The court announced that Thursday would be the last day of rulings this term, which means the decision on President Barack Obama's landmark health care over-
haul probably will come that day. The Arizona decision landed in the middle of a presidential campaign in which Obama has been heavily courting Latino voters and Republican challenger Mitt Romney has been struggling to win Latino support. During a drawn-out primary campaign, Romney and the other GOP candidates mostly embraced a hard line on
illegal immigrants, though Romney has lately taken a softer tone. Obama said he was pleased that the court struck down key parts ofArizona's law but concerned about what the high court left intact. "No American should ever live under a cloud ofsuspicion just because of what they look like," the president said in a written statement.
He said police in Arizona should not enforce the provision in a way that undermines civil rights. ''What this decision makes unmistakably clear is that Congress must act on comprehensive immigration reform," Obama said. Romney said, ''I believe that each state has the duty - and the 1ight- to secure our borders and preserve the ruleoflaw.

FLINT, Mich. (AP) Hey, was that a bark? With 18 full-time enforcers, a Michigan county is going door-todoor to find dogs that don't have a license, an effort that could raise more than $250,000 in fees this summer. Mm·e than 1,700 dog owners in Genesee County bought licenses during
a two-week amnesty when delinquent fees were waived. Now the campaign is getting serious with workers prepared to sell licenses on the spot or write tickets in the county 50 miles north ofDetroit. Tommie Johnson, a retiree who coordinates the dog census, said many roads "have never been touched before."

RiverBend recognizes 9 at commencement Nine youth were recognized last Wednesday during commencement exercises at RiverBend High School, which serves youth at the Oregon Youth Authority's RiverBend transitional facility. The high school conferred diplomas on seven youth. In addition, one youth received an associate's degree from Lane Community College and another received a GED certificate. RiverBend Fire Academy graduates also were recognized. "Many youth come to OYA with few if any high school credits," said Brian Blisard, superintendent of the 50-bed RiverBend facility. ''These students have seen the value of education, focused on their studies and started building a successful future for themselves." Speaker for the after-
noon commencement ceremony was Dr. Whitney Vail, OYA treatment services director. The invocation was delivered by Jerry Baker, a Blue Mountain Auto Parts employee who is RiverBend's volunteer of the year. Graduates and fainilies will be invited to make comments. River Bend High is a fully accredited school operated by the InterMountain ESD through a contract with the Oregon Department of Education.

Motocross track proposal heard By Bill Rautenstrauch The Observer
Union County's Mount Emily Recreation Area Motorized Use Advisory C'..ommittee heard a proposal Tuesday for grant-funded construction of a motocross track, but decided to feel out public opinion befure going ahead with the project. Cody Vavra, a motocross enthusiast and fol1llerly the manager of the countyowned recreation area north of La Grande, presented the committee with a proposal Tuesday for .6 mile track located across Fox Hill Road from MERA's main staging area. He proposed start of construction in the summer of2013, with site preparation to start immediately. Vavra said he thinks the track, covering 7.5 acres, would see significant motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle use, and create economic activity in the county. "I would expect it to be the most-used site on the entire pmk That's just the way motocross tracks are," he said. Union County bought the 3,700 acre MERA property from Forest Capital Partners in 2008 and made it into a multi-use recreation m·ea
~ ~
open to all. Now in its fourth year as a public facility, MERA offers a wide range of motorized and non-motorized, off-highway recreational opportunities. It's a popular destination for ATV and motorcycle riders, mountain bikers, hikers, horseback riders, berry pickers, and more. Vavra said the MERA master plan adopted in 2010 identifies a motocross track as an allowable use on the property. The track he has in mind would be designed to challenge all levels of riders, and would feature double and triple jumps, whoops, table-tops and straight sections. He said the track would fullow natural terrain, incorporating the slopes for drop offs and step-ups, and bel1lls cut into the sides of undulations. "Obstacles will be designed in a manner to offer options for all riders," Vavra said. As an example, he said some double jumps could be built with an up ramp, then a gap, then a table top before the second ramp. "If a rider comes up short he can flat-land on the table top. As he gets more confident he can jump the entire obstacle and land on the

needs will be minimal as the jump faces and benns pack down," he said. As the committee heard the proposal, questions came up about concerns of residents living nearby. Vavra said the nearest dwelling is north of the site with rolling terrain, vegetation and trees creating barriers to block out noise, dust and visual impacts. Union County Commissioner Steve McClure, at the meeting in an ex-officio capacity, said concerns about impacts should be thoroughly explored before a decision is made on whether to build the track. ''Whatever we do will go through a public process,'' he said. Committee member Milo Hibbert said he thinks the proposal will stir a good deal of community debate. "Of all the things we've done so far, I think this has the most potential for interest, both pro and con," Hibbert said. The committee decided to start gathering input from Fox Hill Road residents, then bring the item back to the table for more talk during the July meeting.
BC man killed in motorcycle crash near Pendleton PENDLETON (AP) - A motorcycle rider from Chilliwack, British Columbia, was killed in an accident Sunday aftemoon near Pendleton.

Church protests insurance rules tor sex onenders
BRIC-A-BRAC
Taboo words en I first set out mting this column, thought long and hard about what topics to avoid in a fmnily newspaper. There was no "adults only'' section in the paper of course. Generally speaking, I think you're supposed to stay away from general topics that make people nervous, topics like sex and religion. At least those are topics that make some people nervous. I like both topics, particularly when they're combined somehow. People are fixated on news of priestly pedophilia and wayward evangelists. It's the irony that attracts us to stories about hypocrites. I have very judiciously avoided all such topics, but as someone who has taught college students about the strange and contradictory history of which words are taboo, I have to say something about the bizaiTe banning of the word "vagina'' last week from the Michigan House of Representatives. The incident shows just how far we have NOT come in discussion of women's issues. If you missed it, Michigan Rep. Lisa Brown used the word in legislative debate, and she and a female colleague were the next day banned by Republican leaders from speaking on the House floor. Following the ban, Brown wrote, "Given my speech, I could only assume it was because I spoke to my Jewish values or because I had said vagina. But later that day, Rep. Mike Callton told the press that what I had said was so vile, so disgusting, that he could never bear to mention it in front of women or 'mixed company."' What is "mixed company'' in a legislature anyway? Isn't it supposed to be mixed company? How representative is it ifit is not? That the word was used relevantly in debate over legislation that would restrict reproductive rights is noteworthy, but the word itself; in any context, has no business being added to our list of taboo public words. Comedian George Carlin built a career on how we decide which words are "dirty," and some of the words he discussed that were totally banned from the public air-

down ramp," he said. On parking and facilities, Vavra said an existing parking area adjacent to the MERA's youth track would be improved and expanded to about three acres in size. Another featw·e, Vavra said, would be a vaulted restroom at the northeast comer ofthe parking lot, close to Fox Hill Road. Vavra said an easement would be pursued for access from Fox Hill Road to the southeast comer of the track. It would be used for construction, maintenance and emergency response, and would be locked at all other times. Also, a short trail would be constructed and signed allowing riders to cross Fox Hill Road to the main staging area. According to Vavra's proposal, the track would be built and maintained by Union County, but funded with a combination of grants, volunteer labor and donated materials. Vavra said that when construction is completed, routine maintenance for jump faces and berms would be done by volunteers as needed. "Over time, maintenance

ways back in the 1960s seem to pop up almost everywhere nowadays. The words we have culturally decided to eschew have changed over the years. Look at "poop." There's an internationally popular children's book called ''Everyone Poops," part of a series ofbody science books. When I was young, you could get your mouth washed out with a word like that, but now you'd make the bestseller's list. Times have changed on several other categories of "dirty" words, and they not only vary from time to time but also from place to place. "Bloody'' is a nearly obscene adjective in merry old England. Go figure. But "vagina" is a perfectly appropriate word, one necessary to understanding anatomy and human reproduction and sexuality, and banning Ms. Brown frum using it in Michigan was a blatant act of sexism, a nasty bit of chauvinism far dirtier than any word Ms. Brown could have uttered from the House floor.
Organic soap does wonders to improve vocabulary When one of my fol1ller students said in class she used tl1e old-fashioned method of washing her child's mouth out with soap to clean up the child's vocabulmy, I must have looked shocked. She quickly defended herself by saying, "Oh, but I only use ORGANIC soap!" The best way to stop children from using words you consider offensive is to show them what may be wrong with using the word. In 1966, the American Heritage Dictionary boldly started including all ofthose naughty words the Federal Communications Commission and George Carlin were talking about. They let us know they are real words but warn us they may not be appropriate in "mixed company'' with usage labels such as "vulgar,""substandard," "offensive," or "slang." ''Vagina" has always been in dictionaries and it has never carried warning labels. What needs warning labels are those dopey politicians Ms. Brown has to contend with.

MEDFORD (AP) - An Oregon church is challenging a requirement by its insurance company that it disclose the identity of sex offenders to other congregants, allow offenders to attend only one predetennined service and assign them an escort. Pastor Chad McComas of Set Free Christian Fellowship in Medford said his church disclosed that known sex offenders were among the 100 members. Church Mutual insurance company on May !responded with a letter outlining requirements to continue an insurance policy. Besides announcing disclosing the names of sex offenders, limiting them to one service and providing escorts, the church is required to keep sex offenders out of child or youth programs. McComas told the Mail
Tribune that the rules will have a chilling effect on disclosure. The rules lump an 18-year-old convicted of abuse for sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend with more smious abusers. The rilles will encourage abusers to go underground, he said. 'Where does that line go? They're throwing everyone in the same boat," McComas said. Church Mutual insures more than 100,000 religious organizations and has covered nearly 5,000 sexrelated claims since 1984, said Patrick Moreland, vice president of marketing for Church Mutual. The rules were developed by attorneys and are designed to protect the organization from the '1egal hot water'' of sexual misconduct and molestation claims, he said. They also protect
Portland almost beat June 23 rain record PORTLAND (AP) Portland got close to beating its record for rain on Satmday. The 0Tegonian reports that the day saw 0. 79 inches of rain. National Weather Service meteorologist Jeremiah
Pyle says the record was set in 1969 at 0.87. Since Friday, the metro m·ea has already seen about a full inch of rain. More is on the way with a break mid-week. Wednesday and Thursday will be mostly sunny with highs in the
potential victims, Moreland said. "Our No.1 goal is to protect our churches and our children," Moreland said. McC'..omas said he doesn't want his church to have the reputation as "the sex-of. fender church" but tl1e issue is about principle and what's possible. 'We deal with a lot of members who have addiction backgrounds. That's part of who we serve. But that's not all of who we serve," McComas said. 'We know who our members are. We are being careful and diligent. But how often are we going to have to tell the congregation that someone is a sex offender? The congregation changes all the time." The Rev. Pan1 Shepherd of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Ashland said churches must
keep children and youth safe. Her church is insured and perfonns background checks on all Bible school teachers, youth ministers and others who deal with minors. No one in their congregation has disclosed any sex crimes. Shepherd said, however, she has never seen a letter like the one McComas received. "There are no known sex offenders coming to our church," Shepherd said. "But if all sex offenders glowed orange, people might be smprised to see who they are sitting next to." Convicted sex offender Dave Schmidt, 66, said he attends Set Free services to worship, not to seek out additional victims. If he's driven out of Set Free by insurance company policies, he said, he will simply go to new churches, one week at time if necessary.

Eichen follows Rotary International into dangerous places By Katy Nesbitt The Observer
In an effort to create a more peaceful world, Rotary International investc;; in the education of selected midcareer professionals. Jonathan Eischen who works for the United Nations in New York, has taken his Rotary fellowship into some of the most dangerous places on earth. Eischen addressed the Wallowa County Rotary Club Wednesday on a tour of Oregon cities before attending a peace conference in Portland this weekend. His journey began seven years ago when he was chosen as one of 60 fellows worldwide to study non-conflict resolution. The program that has now gro"11 to 80 fellows a year pays for tuition, books, travel, and a

Residents seek to make White City a city MEDFORD (AP) White City is a city is name only. But that might change in November. More than two dozen residents of the unincorporated community in southem Oregon asked Jackson County commissioners this week to support their petition to have the question of cityhood placed on the fall ballot. 'The name's White City," Kathrine Henry told commissioners."lfs time to make it official." Commissioners supported most ofthe petition to incorporate White City, according to the Mail Tribune, but needed additional time to discuss city boundary lines. A meeting on that issue has been set for Wednesday. Supporters ofincorporation say an improved infrastructure would be worth higher taxes. If incorporated, residents would pay an extra $1.45 for every $1,000 of assessed property
value. Those with a house assessed at $130,000 would pay $188.50 a year. "I want sidewalks, so I don't get hit by a car," said Joyce Crockett, a White City resident for 17 years. "I want city water. I want street lights." The community has a population of8,550. The quest to make the community live up to its name goes back to the 1960s, said Stan Alexander, who has been involved in inco1poration effmts for 15 years. In recent years, organizers have failed to collect enough signatures to get on a ballot and didn't meet state requirements for paperwork. Missing paperwork nearly derailed the group's petition again Wednesday. The group collected enough signatures, but Teresa Campbell, senior assistant county counsel, said its members failed to tum in an affidavit.
10 years, said Eischen. Eischen said he started out his post graduate work with Portland's Mercy Corps. With Mercy Corps he traveled to Georgia in the fonner Soviet Union and worked with the European Union linking farmers to markets. His next assignment was in Vienna, Austria working with the United Nations in their drugs and crime division. There he helped governments fight against human trafficking. Not every country even has laws against human trafficking, said Eishcen. With the program he helped train police to look fur evidence of trafficking and signs of psychological abuse. The two years he served with Mercy Corps also took him to Afghanistan where he worked with the government
on human trafficking issues. Now Eischen works for the United Nations International Development Organization. With them he worked in Mosul, Iraq, one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Traveling throughout the region in armored vehicles with helmets and flak jackets, Eischen and his team provided vocational training and equipment in order to put people back to work. Eischen's organization is the only United Nations agency that remains in this region, all others evacuated when the Americans pulled their troops at the end of 2011. The ethnically diverse region suffers from endless violence and Mosul experiences daily attacks which presented challenges for
Eischen's operation and the safety ofhis team. They had local approval to work there, but traveling with the U.S. military for protection also made them a target, he said. "The local government saw that we were doing things on the ground," said Eischen. Eischen said his "office" was bomb and rocket proo~ but the potential for attacks were common. If a siren was aired, they had only a few moments to get cover. Despite the daily dangers, the development organization was able to get Iraqis the training and tools they needed like sewing machines and welding equipment in an area faced with 40 percent unemployment, seven years of drought and over a decade of conflict which has destroyed its agricultural
economy. Now 2,000 people have been trained in 24 subjects and 21 percent have jobs. ''In a 12 person fan1ily, employing one person makes a difference," said Eischen. The stark contrast between the reality of high unemployment and low wages is that oil production in Iraq is on the increase, yet the government does not distribute the wealth, said Eischen. Since the U.S. left Iraq it isn't safe for Eischen to go to Mosul to meet with his trainers or trainees. Oil exploration creates conflict and impedes safe travel throughout the country. He will travel to the country next month, but his staff will have to come to a safe place to meet him.

State corporate campaign spending limits rejected WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a plea to revisit its 2-year-old campaign finance decision in the Citizens United case and instead struck down a Montana law limiting corporate campaign spending. The same five conservative justices in the Citizens United majority that freed corporations and labor unions to spend unlimited amounts in federal elections joined Monday to reverse a Montana court ruling upholding the state's centuryold law. The four liberal justices dissented. 'The question presented in this case is whether the holding of Citizens United applies to the Montana state law. There can be no serious doubt that it does," the court said in an unsigned opinion. The Citizens United decision paved the way for unlimited spending by corporations and labor unions
in elections for Congress and the president, as long as the dollars are independent of the campaigns they are intended to help. The decision, grounded in the freedom of speech, appeared to apply equally to state contests. But Montana aggressively defended its 1912law against a challenge from corporations seeking to be free of spending limits, and the state Supreme Court sided with the state. The state comt said a history of corruption showed the need for the limits, even as Justice Anthony Kennedy declared in his Citizens United opinion that independent expenditures by corporations "do not give rise to conuption or the appearance ofconuption." In a brief dissent Monday, Justice Stephen Breyer said campaign spending sinre 2010 "casts grave doubt on the courts supposition that independent expenditures do not conupt or appear to
do so." Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia, as well as Sen. John McCain and other congressional champions of stricter regulations on campaign money, joined with Montana. New York Attomey General Eric Schneidennan said Monday's "decision gives short shrift to states' vital interests in protecting their democratic proresses and institutions from the threats posed by unlimited co1porate spending in campaigns." James Bopp, the lawyer who challenged the Montana law, said," This closes the door on the argument that unique facts in a ce1tain state can be employed to overturn Citizens United." In February, Breyer and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, both dissenters in Citizens United, challenged Kennedy's view that the independent campaign spending could not be conupting by virtue of the absence of
links to a can1paign. When the court blocked the Montana mling in Febmary, Ginsburg issued a brief statement for herself and Breyer saying that campaign spending since the decision makes ''it exceedingly difficult to maintain that independent expenditures by corporations 'do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of conuption."' Ginsburg appeared to be referring to the rise of um·egulated super PACs that have injected millions of dol-
lars into the presidential and other campaigns. She said the case ''will give the comt an opportunity to consider whether, in light of the huge sums currently deployed to buy candidates' allegiance, Citizens United should continue to hold sway." The corporations that sued over the law said it could not remain on the books after the Citizens United decision. Montana urged the high court to reject the appeal, or hold arguments. The state would have preferred either

North Powder makes budget cuts after losing stimulus By Dick Mason The Observer
The North Powder School Board has adopted a 201213 budget which is down $118,000 from 2011-12 and calls for its business manager position to be cut and a high school teaching position to be added. The board adopted a total budget of $4.306 million on Tuesday, one down $118,000 from a year ago primarily because of the loss of
economic stimulus funding from the government, said North Powder School District Superintendent Lance Dixon. Government stimulus funding programs are now ending throughout the nation. Dixon said cutting the business manager position and adding a science teacher will essentially have a neutral impact on the budget. Eliminating the business manager position will save the district a net of aroood
$45,000. The district will save about $77,000 in salary and benefits but pay $25,000 to the InterMoootain Education Service District for fiscal services previously provided by the business manager. Dixon said it is easier to contract out fiscal services now because of advances in technology. The teaching position to be added at North Powder is for high school science and 'vill fill an important need,
Dixon said. Powder Valley High School presently has one science teacher. The science teacher had been instructing engineering, science and advanced math. This individual will now be able to focus on advanced math and engrneenng. The new faculty member will teach science and science technologJ' Dixon said the additional science teacher will help the school district maintain
its new health science and engineering programs. The programs were added after North Powder became a charterschooldistrictabout three years ago. Charter school district's are publicly funded districts in the United States that have been freed of some state and federal rules and regulations that apply to other public schools. Charter schools are required to have a special focus and North Powder
made its health science and engrneenng. Dixon said his districfs budget picture has been helped in recent years by increasing enrollment. The school district had 218 students three years ago and had 264 at the end of the school year. Enrollment is a critical part of the funding picture for school districts because they receive about $6,000 from the state per student.

oc train robberv
promotes Stampede Rodeo ByTrish Verges Correspondent
ELGIN- The Stampeders' Train Robbery excursion train rolled out of Elgin to Minam last Saturday at 10 a.m. on the Two Rivers trip only to be held up by a gang of bandits in a mock train robbery to promote the Elgin Stampede PRCA Rodeo July 12-15. The Stampeders' cast of train robbe1y characters included ring-leader Stella Rose played by Stampeder Therese Wiles, Constable Bill Ledbetter, the deputy Bailey Wilhelm, the parson Bud Scoubes and his daughters Lam Moore and Erin Scoubes as the singing saloon girls named Lilly and Daisy. Just days prior to the train's departure from Elgin, posters appeared all around town declaring the capture of Stella Rose after a two-year search for "the wicked bandit whose gang has terrorized Union county and surrounding areas." She was under careful guard, being escorted by lawmen on the train to jail, but her loyal gang members had other plans. The passengers played along as bandits demanded that they suiTender all their costume jewelry and valueabies over to them. The bandits went through the cars stripping the plastic wealth from the passengers. All part of the spoof and fun, this special event excursion train not only promoted the Elgin Stampede but is the first train of the regular season under its new operators, the Rocky Mountain Railway and Mining Museum, a non-profit corporation doing business as the Wallowa Union Scenic Railway. Fonnerly called the Eagle Cap Excursion Train, the Wallowa Union Scenic Railway will be operating excursion trains from Elgin every Saturday from June 30 to October 27 with the exception of July 14, said Dodson.

past week will be a regular feature on the trains departing from Elgin this season. "Part of the back end of the caboose is open," said Dodson, "so there will be room for 12 people in the caboose. They pay a little bit more to have that sp~ial attention and be on the caboose. They can get seats on the caboose as a group of (12) people or as individuals." The annual Stampeders' Train Robbery excursion
is popular among tourists. Marketing and media coordinator for the WUSR,
Janet Dodson, said that Alegre Travel of La Grande booked seats on this train for passengers from Tri-Cities, Portland, Idaho, California, Walla Walla and a motorcoach full of passengers from Canada. While passengers were being amused by the robbery, the Elgin Stampeders got to show off their horsemanship and invite everyone to the 66th annual Elgin Stampede Rodeo. The rodeo fun begins at Family Night July 12 and is followed by a weekend of rodeo perfonnances, bull riding, the Stampede Challenge, parades, dances and concessions at Chute 9. The Stampeders invite all to be present for the introduction of the grand marshal Linda Moore and for the queen's coronation. To purchase tickets to the rodeo call court princesses Jessica Bottger at 541-7860900 or Felicity Hicks at 541-805-1110.

Resisting Plam Lust
Make sure your plants measure up By Liz Douville WesCom Nevvs Service
S. John Collins/Baker City He rald
Nothing smells quite like a lilac.
AND SO IT GROWS CHRISCOLLINS
Mark DuFrene I San Jose Mercury News
The aromatic lure of the lilac For me, the best pmt of spring is always the sweet smell oflilacs in bloom. It's worth the wait as I watch the buds that give way to leaves appear. Next, tiny green flowers emerge that soon are transformed into the blossoms that fill the air with their magical aroma for a few short weeks. But then- which is now- they are gone. They've vvilted away; leaving a harsh brown corpse to remind us of what we had and what we must wait until next spring to have again. And in the meantime, there's work to be done to prepare the plants to be their best when that time comes. This year's cold, wet and windy spring weather (as it does most years) delayed the deadheading and pruning process until the recent SO-degree temperatures m1ived. That's not the best time to clip, bend and cany off the debris left behind by the fragrant flowers that have run their course for the season. But removing the dried brown remnants of spring has improved the appearance of the bushes left behind and prepared them to prosper for another year. Next year's blooms depend on the stems that will grow all summer long. Gardeners who wait until fall or even next spring to prune the plants wi11 actually be reducing - or possibly even eliminating- their crop of fragrant lilac blooms. The Saine is true for forsythia, rhododendrons and azaleas, which also should be trimmed soon after they've finished blooming, according to the Oregon State University Extension Service. On the other hand, shrubs that bloom in summer and fall rely on the current season's growth to produce the blossoms - those plants should be pruned in late winter or early spring. For me the cleanup work is worth the effort to ensure bountiful blooms each year. But it's something to think about if you're considming adding lilacs to your landscape. Mine came with the house. They're white. I've grown to love them even though I prefer the more colorful purple blooms and the fact that they produce long-rooted suckers that travel throughout the yard and into the flower beds. I've got to wonder how old these lilac bushes are, knowing that the house they stand guard over dates back to at least 1920, according to the Baker County Assessor's Office. Aquick search of the internet produced this history of the state's first JiJacs: The first plant was brought by sea "around the Hom" (Cape Hom off the southern tip of South America) from Maine to Oregon by Mmy Charlotte Foster. She and her husband, Phillip Foster, were early pioneers. Mary Charlotte planted the JiJac in her front yard in the 1840s. The bush, which has grown to tree size, can be seen near Portland at the Phillip Foster Farm at Eagle Creek. The farm is operated as a living-history museum and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (WW'.V. philipfosterfann.com). See Lilacs/Page 3B

• Smoky skirt steak fajitas, 28
The magic of a low, slow fire- and a heady touch of smoke- transforms a simple rib eye or skirt steak into mouth-watering fare.
Hot nos trom aDrillmaster: Go low and slow with the tire, and go easv on smoke By Jackie Burrell San Jose M ercury New s
There's a certain wizardry about grilling. The magic of a low, slow fire - and a heady touch of smoke - transforms a simple rib-eye or portobello mushroom into mouthwatering fare. It's such a straightforward trick, yet there are so many tools and gadgets out there that what was once a simple act ofbarbecuing has become a tad intimidating. These days not only are there are smokers, gas grills and Weber kettles, but also wood planks, chips. charcoal cltimneys, grill racks, salt plates, slider molds, asparagus grabbers and, of course, jalapeno racks to keep your peppers erect. So there you are at the supermarket, hefting a baggie of apple wood chips and wondering, can you put wood chips in a gas grill? And how important are erect jalapenos, anyway? You'd ask your neighbor, the barbecue king with his own professional-grade smoker, but that would be like asking Tim lincecum for T-ball tips. Fortunately, we've got someone better because Ray "Dr. BBQ" Lampe is all about demystifying the art of the 'cue. The Floridabased barbecue guru and serial cook-off champion has a new book out. And "Slow Fire: The Beginner's Guide to Barbecue" (Chronicle Books, $22.95, 176 pages) answers nearly all those questions (though you're on your own for proper pepper posture). The new book is a deliberate departure from the classic barbecue how-to's, which are typically penned by heroes of the pitmaster circuit with "brash personalities, huge egos and a room full of trophies," Lmnpe says. "By the time you get through the ridiculous pieces of equipment that cost more than your car, it's intimidating:' The bottom line, he says, is that newbies shouldn't run out and spend a lot of money on equipment they may end up using once. Use what you have, he suggests, experiment and then see ifit's a cooking technique you want to pursue vvith something more suitable - and more easily temperature-controlled than the ubiquitous backyard gas grill, such as an old-school kettle barbecue, a smoker or even a stovetop smoker. In California, we tend to describe any kind of grilling as "barbecue, " but real barbecue is cooked low and slow - with indirect heat and a bit ofculinary restraint. ''It's not 'if a little smoke is good, a whole lot should be better,"' Lainpe says. ''You can easily oversmoke food." Indirect heat means putting the fire on one side of the grill and placing the meat on the other, with a drip pan underneath. Temperature is key; 230 to 250 degr·ees is ideal - and the thermometer on the top of your shiny barbecue lid is useless. It reads the heat at the top of the lid, not an inch or two above the grate, where you're cooking dinner. "If you have it 240 on top, but the heat has risen, you might be trying to cook that meat at 160 degrees," Lanlpe says. ''You can cook on just about anything but you gotta leanl the tricks."

• Dr. BBO's fired-up fajita rub, 28
Some grills have a built-in drawer to hold wood chips, but the tried-and-true fuil pouch works just as well, Lainpe says. That's something about which Denis Kelly; the Jaines Beard award-winning cookbook author and a St. Mary's College professor in the integral studies prograin, fully agrees. Kelly has written three meat-related books for Williains-Sonoma, including ''WilliamsSonoma Grilling," and several cookbooks coauthored with Berkeley sausage king Bruce Aidells. Kelly puts a handful of wood chips in the center of a 10-inch squm·e sheet ofheavy-duty aluminum foil, folds the foil around it and crimps the edges tightly. He then pokes holes in it with a skewer - Lampe's a fork man and drops it into the barbecue. You can soak the wood chips for an hour first, which slows the burning time, but just be awm·e that all that "smoke" pouring out is going to be steain fora while. Don't get too obsessed with the wood aspect, Lmnpe says: ''The smoke is part ofit, but the long slow cooking is it." And don't- pardon the pun- bite off more than you can chew. The trick, Lainpe says, is not to tackle a project that's simply too big. "Don't try to cook a brisket for 14 hours the first time," he says. ''Do chicken quarters or pork chops, smoked fajitas where you use skirt steak. Stuff that takes one hour versus 12 hours:' The shmter the project and the less intimidating, the more likely that you11 do it again - and again.
MAN STEAK WITH THYME ZINFANDEL SALT
The trap that I fall into at this time of year is the one Portland garden writer Duley Mahar always referred to as plant lust. I really am a conservative plant consumer, and I am only tempted by plants I know will grow here. I think that shows some restraint. However~ I do have to admit that at last count I did have six one-gallon containers of various plants that I decided I couldn't live without, and I fear there are more to come after visiting Wintercreek Native Plant Nursery. At present, the six containers sit in a protected spot with no place to go. Irish garden writer Helen Dillion suggests that one way to make room for new plantings is to regularly walk around your garden and demand of each plant that it justify its existence. So if you are in a quandmy as to where to plant a new heartthrob, take Dillion's thoughts, combined with questions that Mahar would periodically ask her plants, and you may find a place to plant yom latest lust. I asked my plants some of Mahar's questions and surprised myself with some quick answers.
1. Deep down, do I really like you? Just because a plant did well in my friend's garden doesn't mean it will do well in mine. Ifit looks ragged, pull it out and enjoy it in your friend's garden.
2. Are you a diva? Anything that demands too much attention - staking, constant deadheading or vigorous watering - is a candidate for dismissal.
3. Are you over the hill? Not all perennials are long-lived, but some take a long time to expire. I realized this year that the Purple Palace Heuchera, planted at least 15 years ago, is now reduced to a malnourished-looking blob. I have good memories of introducing its merits to readers long before Heuchera becaine a gardener's lust. So this year I will thank it, bless it and send it offto plant heaven. The creeping thyme has been creeping around the rockery for about as long as the Heuchera have sent up their flower spikes. The thyme from level 3 (highest point) has crept down to level 2, a wide, sloping boulder, and into the flatter area oflevel 1. Unfortunately; level 2 is suffering from an ever-increasing bald spot. I'm not one for restorative treatments; besides, I've heard they don't work anyhow. So instead of trying to do a comb-over from level 3, I mn going to denude the sloping boulder and enjoy its natmal beauty. I might consider the sparse gr·owth of level1 as a little soil enhancement, but if it looks too quirky; I vvill get rid of that also. Why have some weak stubble hanging around when I could have a dr·ainatic dash of something?
Serves 6-8 Note: A "man steak" is an English term for a Fred Flintstone-esque cut of meat, typically cut from the rump. One &pound "man steak" or large, hearty steak %cup Four Seasons rub (see recipe, Pg. 2B) 1 tablespoon black pepper Basting "brush" made of herb sprigs Basic Baste (see recipe, Pg. 2B) Board Dressing (see recipe, Pg. 2B) Thyme-zinfandel salt or similar finishing salt 1. Preheat grill to medium low. Season beef all over with the rub and black pepper. Lightly moisten your hands and rub the seasonings into the meat. Let stand 10 minutes. 2. Put the beef on the clean, unoiled grate and cook, without moving it, for 1 minute.Turn, baste with the herb brush and cook 1 minute. Turn steak, baste again and continue to cook, turning and basting every 2 minutes, for 17 minutes. The meat may stick and tear a bit, but this is OK.Transfer to a platter and let rest 10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, clean and oil the grate. Put the steak back on and cook, turning and basting every 4 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 115 degrees for rare. 4. Pour board dressing onto a cutting board (or mix it directly there). Finely chop the tips of the herb brush and mix into the dressing.
Would it be considered un-American to remove the daylily clumps friends have shared with me? I have yet to enjoy the first bloom. The deer keep eating down the foliage. I screain and holler, but I refuse to use repellent sprays. So I guess the solution this year is to replace the daylilies with iris that the deer won't bother. The iris vvill accomplish what I wanted for that area, which is a solid impact of color and fuliage. I'm debating what to do: should I transplant the clumps to a fenced vegetable garden (would that encourage the deer to jurnp the fence for a favorite snack?) or should I have them join thyme and Purple Palace?

What Do Chels Have in Their Home Kitchens and Pados;.
The pros agree: Space to spread out trumps fancy gadgets By Felicia Feaster The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ATLANTA- Though a chefs at-home kitchen might conjure up visions of a high-tech food lab with commercial-grade appliances and stainless steel surfaces, the reality looks slightly different. The most consistently desired feature in many Atlanta-area chefs' kitchens - an open floor plan - has less to do with replicating a commercial kitchen, and is more about making cooking a commllilal, accessible experience. Atlanta-area chefS share their tips for making a home kitchen work efficiently. Asha Gomez is the owner of the South Indian restaurant Cardamom Hill and tl1e creator of the Spice Route Supper Club, which operates out of her Atlanta kitchen. "Because I entertain a lot, I like for my guests to be with me in the kitchen," Gomez said of a cooking area that is open to the entire first level of her home. ''You connect with people in a more intimate way than you would in a professional kitchen," said Gomez, who can fit up to 30 guests in her kitchen area.
Asha Gomez's tips: • Airtight glass jars on the kitchen collilter allow for immediate access to the most-used spices. • An open floor plan is critical when you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so guests can interact with the chef • Bring the outdoors inside with large windows or doors to outside. Chefs spend a lot of time in windowless commercial

kitchens. For their home kitchens, they often choose a room with large windows, access to a yard and other ways to bring the outdoors in when they are logging long hours at the stove. Hilary and Jim White are the executive chef and general manager of the Serenbe, Ga., restaurant the Hil. Their 100-year-old Chattahoochee Hills, Ga., fannhouse features a renovated, open kitchen that the Whites designed to suit their food-centric lives. The Whites' kitchen includes a number of commercial-grade features such as an industrial meat slicer; commercial sink Vl:ith drainboards on both sides sourced from a Fairburn, Ga., restaurant supply shop; and a Five Star range with four burners, griddle and convection oven. One innovative feature of the kitchen is the placement of the
range in the kitchen island, so that Hilary White's back isn't to her guests when she cooks. A serious glassware collector, White would love to add a butler's pantry to her kitchen. ''We pretty much eat at the house every night ... we enjoy having friends over," White said of her much-used home kitchen.
Hilary White's tips: • Check restaurant supply shops for features such as stainless steel tables, storage shelves and carts. • If you can create seating in a kitchen island, do so, to allow guests to enjoy a cocktail while you cook, or even eat in the kitchen. • A restaurant-grade oven is not a great choice. "The ru:nolliltofBTUs that it consumes, it's just not energy-efficient," White said. Instead, choose an industriallooking stove geared toward
the home cook. • A rolling cart on wheels for moving hot pans of food or for storage is a handy addition to a home kitchen. Keith Robinson, owner of the event company Gloriosa, has a 9,000-square-foot commercial kitchen in Atlanta. But for more intimate events, Robinson uses the kitchen in his 1841 Palmetto, Ga., farmhouse for entertaining. "When I designed the kitchen, I designed it in such a way that it would be able to be used for the prep and the finishing of food," Robinson said. His home kitchen features three refrigerators including two Sub-ZEros and one Traulsen; a six-burner Viking cooktop; and two Viking dishwashers.
Keith Robinson's tips: • Functionality doesn't have to rule out beauty. You will be spending a great deal of time in your
BARBECUE 5. Season the steak on both sides with thyme salt, transfer to the cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. 6.

Robinson's hand-washing sink is an old copper planter set into the countertop. • Multiple refrigerators are a great feature for the ambitious home cook. ''Anything that you can do to do as much prep in advance, the better off you're going to be when it comes time for putting things together;" Robinson said of the benefit of plenty ofcold food storage. • Open shelving allows for easy access to tools. • Multiple or commercial dishwashers make entertaining manageable. • For the serious cook, a six-burner range is a nice option. • Ifyou are building or renovating and using a great number of commercial-grade appliances, consider wiring for greater power usage. Also make sure there are plenty of outlets throughout the kitchen for plugging in appliances.

Deluxe smoker ... is part of my 'outdoor kitchen' in my backyard!" -Jonathan Fox, Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q ''I think the most critical feature a home kitchen needs is an ample pantry. Most kitchens I see have small appliances, gadgets, and pots and pans cluttering up the top ofthe work counters. A proper pantry should rival a garage in size!" -Lance GumiTI£re, the Shed at Glenwood ''A gocx:l hood vent for real ventilation, because I do love frying chicken, and when I had a less-equipped house, it was always a frying session accompanied by the blaring sollildtrack of the smoke alarm. (And) an extra dishwasher, because ifyou have eight people over for dinner and drink three types of Vlrine, glassware piles up. It's a luxury but well worth the investment." - Hugh Acheson, Empire State South ''I think the best feature a home kitchen can have is a good assortment of pots and pans....

is still going to be good, he says, but too much smoke renders meat inedible. And standing in the smoke, tending the fire all day, desensitizes the cook to what constitutes too much. Mesquite:
Unless you're a pro, mesquite or red oak is too strong for a smoker or closed gJ.'ill.
MORE BBQ TIPS Barbecue sauce:
As you slather it on the meat while it's still cooking, remember the line between caramelized and burned is a fine one indeed. "Barbecue sauce can be evil, " Ray Lampe says. "I consider it a condiment, not the seasoning, not the marinade. At my house, it gets served on the side." Dry rubs:
A g1·eat barbecue layers flavor, says Adam Perry Lang, author of the new "Charred&; Scruffed" (Artisan, $24.95, 280 pages), and the base coat is the rub, which can be as simple as salt, black pepper, garlic salt and cayenne. Basting sauces:
Using a bundle of herb sprigs to baste your meat These fruit tree woods - with olive oil, soy sauce, are a great choice because lemon juice and garlic, they1l add a little smokifor example - adds even ness to your barbecue with- more flavor, Lang says, but out overwhelming the meat. make sure you baste after Pecan is a little stronger, you flip, not before. Otherbut not too bad, Ray Lampe wise you're breaking down says, "if you don't abuse it the savory crust you've and put too much in there." worked so hard to create. Apple or cherry wood:
Hickory or oak:
Finishing touches:
These woods will give you that classic, smoked barbecue flavor, but if you're not careful, the flavor can be overwhelming. Use two parts apple wood to one part hickOiy or oak, Lampe suggests. Too little smoke
Lang finishes his steaks with a "board dressing" a vinaigrettelike mixture that sits on the carving board, absorbing the meat's juices as the steak rests. It's spooned over the sliced meat before serving.

On long days of summe~ nothing's better than shortcake By S. Irene Virbila
oven. A chilled whisk makes quick work of whipping the cream by hand. It's important to prepare the strawberry mixture before dinner. You want the berries juicy -and very cold, the better to contrast with the warm shortcake. Unlike my mother, I've never been able to get anyone in my household or any of my :friends to agree to a shortcake supper, so I usually serve strawberry shortcake after dinner. Even better, though, is to have it by itself in the afternoon. Thafs my tradition.
Los Angeles Times
I'm visiting 'vith my mother, and she is trying to describe the dimensions of the strawberry patch they had back on the farm in Nebraska. Big enough that you could pick enough berries to make strawberry shortcake for 25. One of the hired hands just loved strawbeny shortcake, she remembers. He'd ask my grandmother, "Mrs. Jones, could we have strawberry shortcake for dinner?" "Ifyou pick 'em," she'd answer. It must have been a sweet relief from harder work, picking strawbenies in that patch under that unwavering blue sky, filling a deep basket with those crimson berries. Sometimes, my mother says, there would be as many as 20 hired men at the table. And my grandmother cooked for them three times a day. With the strawberries, she would be busy making her shortcake with butter and cream from the farm and a little precious (because it was store-bought) baking powder. My mother usually got KP duty, hulling and washing those berries, slicing them into a giant bowl. But she really wanted to be outside, doing the more interesting men's work, which probably is why, despite all the time in the farm kitchen, she picked up only mdimenta:ry baking skills. My grandmother was renowned for her baking. It was she who taught me to whip cream by hand to a soft cloud and to add only a pinch of sugar, not too much. Her shortcake was rich and

Crispy, flaky and filled with fresh strawberries- the shortcake is a great summer dessert.
crumbly, served warm from the oven, split open, lavished with those juicy, home-grown berries and crowned with a generous dollop of softly whipped crean1. Heaven. I don't know how it happened, but I never got my grandmother's recipe befure she died. She cooked by instinct and probably didn't have one anyway. My mother made wonderful strawberry shortcake, but hers came from a Bisquick box. She doctored the recipe, though, by substituting a little cream for the milk. Summer Sundays, when we drove by a strawbeny stand, we'd buy a flat, and my mother would make strawbeny shortcake for supper. Not for dessert, but for supper- one basket of strawbenies a person on a shortcake that filled the entire plate.
It felt like such an indulgence. No frozen lima beans to get down. No pork chops or teriyaki chicken. Just that warm, crumbly shortcake and a heap of strawberries and cream on top. It's probably exactly what she had wanted to do as a kid: Skip the other boring stuff and cut straight to the strawberry shortcake. And, hey, as a grown-up, she could do whatever she liked. And my sister and I were the happy beneficiaries. She still recounts in horror the time she was invited for strawberry shortcake by her new relatives in Connecticut. Their version consisted oftwo sad little dry storebought "cakes" topped with green-tinged berries. "No juice!" she complains. "Just these hard little berries." Not that she would have said a word to her mother-in-law. "And the whipped cream was
really sweet and stiff." In strawbeny shortcake matters, I follow my mothers lead. Except I don't use Bisquick. I use Lindsey Shere's recipe from her "Chez Panisse Desserts," which is basically a cream biscuit. One recipe makes six 4-inch shortcakes, and I count about half a basket of strawberries per person. The trick is to hand-shape the dough into rough patties about a halfinch thick. (Thafs my trick: Shere rolls hers out and cuts rounds with a cookie cutter.) No rolling, which makes them very quick to make. And I don't reheat them. Since they take just 10 to 15 minutes to bake. I'll have the dry ingredients already measured out. And as guests are finishing their main course, 111 cut the butter into the dough with a pasb:y blender, stir in the cream, form the patties and slip them into the
Silk purses? -Pig's ears are dinner By Noelle Carter Los Angeles Tmes
Dear SOS: We've just returned from a b:ip to Chicago, and I tell you, we were there for just five days, but we were at the Purple Pig three times. My fave is their fried pig's ears with c1ispy kale. What an amazing dish! Can you see if they are willing to share their recipe with your readers? Appreciate it very much. - Mary Anne, Hernandez, Vancouuel; Canada Dear Mary Anne: Crisp, crunchy and unabashedly pork-alicious, your unsuspecting friends might never guess they were actually eating deep-fried pig ears unless you told them. Sliced thin and breaded before frying, these bits of pork goodness are seiVed with tom, fried kale and pickled cheny peppers. The dish is topped with a fried egg. Whether you're thinking breakfast or dinner or some snack in between - or maybe looking for the perfect Father's Day dish for the dad who loves all things pork? - this dish is heaven on a plate.

5. Are you just being spiteful? Dillion offers sage advice when writing that one should never plant a new plant where another has died; the new plant may well fail to thrive also. I read that two years after the fact. I wanted a lavender plant in the vegetable garden to help draw in more pollinators. The first plant died at the end ofthe season and yes, it was a variezy known to do well in our area. I replanted the second year and had the same results. After reading Dillion's advice, I am thinking there is something an1iss with the soil in that little ar·ea. That gives me another mystery to

Pig ears can be found at Chinese and select Asian markets, and can be ordered from most butchers and meat departments. 1 pound pig ears (about 2 ears) 4 gallons water, divided 1 cup diced carrot 1 cup diced celery 1 cup diced onion 1 cup milk 1 cup instant flour, such as Wondra Frying oil Salt 1 bunch kale (about 10 ounces), torn into 2-inch pieces 6 to 8 pickled cherry peppers, julienned 6 to 8 fried eggs 1 to 2 tablespoons oil Pepper

2. Strain the pig ears and place on a baking dish. Refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight flipping the ears midway to make sure both sides are dry. 3. Fill a wide, heavy-bottomed pot with oil until it comes up the sides of the pot by 3 inches. Heat the oil until a thermometer reads 350 degrees. 4. While the oil is heating, thinly julienne the pig ears and dip them in milk, then dredge in the instant flour. Fry the strips in small batches until lightly golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then strain, pat dry and place in a large bowl. Fry the kale until bright and crisp, about 30 seconds. Strain and gently toss into the bowl along with the julienned peppers. Season with 2 teaspoons of salt or to taste. Hold in a warm place. 5. In a shallow frying pan, fry the eggs in a light film of oil until the whites are cooked but the yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes. 5. Divide the pig ears among 6 to 8 shallow bowls, and top each with a fried egg. Season the eggs with a sprinkling each of salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
you joy and satisfaction in the garden. Is it fragrance, color, shape, foliage or food for the body? Those are what you want to keep and 1mprove. Attitude matters. Pay close attention to plants that do well in your garden and repeat them. Don't fret over plants that do poorly, just get rid of them.

Roughly slice or quarter two-thirds ofthe berries into a large bowl. Sprinkle the sugar over the berries and, using a wire pastry blender, smash the berries so they begin to juice.

LILACS Continued from Page IB The common-sense lesson repeated throughout the OSU Master Gardener training is to ensure that you've chosen the right plant for the right spot. Lilacs are well-suited to our country. They require full sun (at least six hours per day) and well-drained soil and they are drought-tolerant and cold-weather hardy. Although the lilacs at my house have faithfully bloomed where they're planted, they are a little too close to the foundation for comfort and they've grown to a size that is more and more troublesome to prune each year (even though at their present height they provide a cooling shade to the front of the house during the summer). Thankfully lilac trees are resilient in many ways and can tolerate drastic piUning to renovate overgrown plants. According to a handout available from the OSU Extension Office, plants may be cut back to about 6 inches above the ground, but then will take several years to bloom again. Another alternative would be to remove old bushes and start over with new ones of a different variezy
whipping cream, divided 1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt baking powder and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture looks like cornmeal with a few larger pieces of butter in it. Use a pastry blender or two knives, if you like; Ijust rub the mixture quickly between my fingers. Mix in three-fourths cup of cream, just until most of the dry mixture has been moistened. Turn out on a board and knead a few times until the dough just comes together. Divide into six portions and lightly pat into flat rounds about one-half-inch thick. 3. Place on an unbuttered baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons cream, and bake until the tops are lightly browned and the dough is set 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack. Whipped cream: 1 cup (more if desired) heavy whipping cream Pinch superfine sugar %teaspoon vanilla extract 1. While the shortcakes are cooling, whip the cream. Using a balloon whisk, whip the cream in a large bowl until it is thick, but not stiff. Whisk in the sugar and vanilla extract. 2.To serve, split the shortcakes in half.

or placed at a different site. I'm not interested in either of those options, but a less drastic approach calls for removing onethird of the stems over a three-year pe1iod, starting with the oldest and tallest branches and cutting them to ground level. Size also might be something to consider ifyou're starting from scratch and have a fondness for lilacs. Dwarfvarieties are available for those who don't want to prune them regularly to control the height. And some newer varieties even bloom more than once a season. For more information about planting and maintaining lilacs or to seek answers to other gardening questions, call or visit the Baker County Extension Office, 2600 East St., 541-523-6418. Master Gardener volunteers also are staffing a table at the Farmers Market on Wednesdays at Geiser-Pollman Park. For now, it's time to put thoughts of the sweet smell of lilacs aside. I won't think of next spring. It will be here soon enough (but only after that other harsh season I've put out of my mind). For now, I plan to take one beautiful day at a time watching my garden grow.

HOROSCOPES MONDAY, JUNE 25, 20 l2 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are a confident and powerful individual with a great deal of vision and foresight, and it is a rare day when you do not have some kind of creative and progressive idea about how to do things better or to make things better for others. You may encounter perhaps more than your share of criticism or resistance simply because you are so open, forthnght and direct -· but you are not the kind to let those responses slow you down or hold you hack. You will slay lhe course, no moiler what, so long as you believe firmly in what you are doing. Your convictions, ultimately, are your most valuable assets. TUESDAY, )UNE26 CANCER (June 21 -)uly 22) -- You may have a distorted notion of what islying before you at this time. Today, try to gather more up-to-date information. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will want to change something aboul your surroundings,

108- THE OBSERVER & BAKER CITY HERALD
Grandma's birthday party causes generational rift DEAR ABBY: I just celebrated my 80th birthday at a party with 22 of my dearest friends. Talso invited my daughterin-law, "Sydney;' andhermother. The problem is, I didn'tinvite my 8-year-old granddaughter. I explained that I felt she wouldn't enjoy herself with all of us senior women. Sydney disagreed. I then suggested perhaps it would be better if I had a dinner party for the entire family the following evening (on my actual birthday) at a fine dining restaurant. In retaliation tor my not inviting my granddaughte~Sydneydeclinedthe
dinner invitation, although all other family members attended. My "punishmenf was not to receive a birthday present from her. Was I wrong nollo invite my granddaughter to a party with my !m-year-old friends? - TRIED TO BR CONSIDERATE DEAR TRIED: I don't think so. You were being considerate of your granddaughter's feelings. Had she attended, she would have been bored, and one of your guests or her mother and grandmother would have had to entertain her. Frankly, it would have been a distraction from the celebration. That your daughter-in-law would be so petulant as to "punish" you for making the intelligent choice you did indicates that she has some growing up to do. You owe no one any apologies; Sydney does. DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law, the only girl and the youngest of my husband's siblings, is teing married soon. We couldn't he happier. The problem is my mother-in-law. Anytime the subject of the wedding comes up and I chime in, she says, "How would YOU know?You didn't have a wedding." My husband and 1eloped six years ago. Since then, the subject of weddings has been a problem between my mother-inlaw and me. In my opinion, I DID have a wedding. There was a beautiful location, an officiant, a dress, and a conunitment made between my husband and me. She continues to make it painfully

obvious that she feels it wasn't a valid wedding because she wasn't there. Her comments, in front of my husband and children, are insulting and hurtful. Is there anything I could say to let her know we don't agree with her without rocking the boat too much before her daughter's wedding? -AS MARRIED AS ANYONE DEAR MARRIED DEAR AS ANYONE: No, but there is plenty you can say after it's over. At that time, you AND your husband should talk to his mother together so she hears from both of you that her sniping is inappropriale. DEAR ABBY: Would you please weigh in on whether you think wearing sunglasses indoors- particularly in the evening - is rude and not conducive to friendly communication with others? (This isn't a situation involving eye problems.) -NOTHING TO HIDE IN NEW illRSEY DEAR NOTHING TO HIDE: Tt is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul. I agree that trying to converse with someone who is wearing sunglasses can be confusing, because it prevents you from picking up nonverbal cues you might otherwise be given. The person you're writing about may be shy, paranoid or hiding the bleary remnants of a hangover. But unless you ask why he or she is hiding behind the sunglasses, you will never know if there's a valid reason for it.

SHELBYVILLE, Mich. (A.P)AWest Michigan wedding party ended up soaked after the dock on which they were standing gave way during a photo shoot. No one was injured in Saturday's plunge during the reception at Bay Pointe lim on GW1 Lake in Shelbyville, about 25 miles south of Grand Rapids. Video posted by WOOD-TV (http://bit.ly/KHiMXl ) shows Eric and Maegan Walber of Byron Center falling along with their wedding party. They talked about it with the station en route to their honeymoon on Mackinac Island. The groom says they were on the dock about 30 seconds when it started to lean and tilt. The bride says the fall it was scary for a moment because her wedding dress made it difficult to get her footing, but she says she "came up laughing."

Police: Dad, son start fight at pot dispensary ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (A.P) -Police say a 42-year-old father and his 15-year-old son are facing charges after the pair got into a violent altercation with tl1e owners of an Albuquerque medical marijuana dispensary. KOAT-TV reports (http://bit.ly/ 1'Ik.Ok5o) that police say the fight last week began after Raul Garay was denied medical marijuana and threatened the owner of Zia Health and Wellness with an airsoft gun. The owner told police that Garay also bit him and the owner's son, a dispensary employee. Police say Garay's son then struck the owner of a marijuana dispensary in the back with a gu1fclub during a melee in the parking lot. The elder Garay was charged with aggravated assault and child abuse. The son was charged with two counts of aggravated battery. It was unclear if either had attorneys.
Duct tape prom dress could win teen $5,000 SOLOMON, Kan. (AP)- A Kansas teen has earned a spot as a finalist in a national design competition with a prom dress made entirely from duct tape. Brooke Wallace, 17, ofSolomon, spent more than 200 hours fashioning a western-style prom dress for herself and a suit for her date from 42 rolls of duct tape. Wallace told The Salina Journal (http://bit.ly/Mhlluh) the effort wasn't just for kicks: She and her date, Mark Aylward, could each win $5,000 scholarships and their school could get $5,000 too.

LONGWOOD, Fla. (AP)- A video shows two black bears wrestling on the front lawn of a Florida home -but residents say they don't want the animals forced to live somewhere else. In the video, the bears appear to be play-fighting on the ground and later while standing up. The fight spills over into nearby bushes and ends about two minutes later with both bears leaving in separate directions. The bears were on Tammy Snell's lawn. The Longwood resident says bears are part of the scenery for the area. She told the Orlando Sentinel (http://sW1sent. nl/Nz2kbA) that residents don't want to relocate the bears. As she put it: ''We moved into their area. It's really like living in a zoo."

East edges west in all-star
• Late touchdown lifts East to 24-20 victory over West By Casey Kellas The Observer
The East squad needed every minute to outlast the West squad Satrnday in tlte 23rd annual East-West eightman all-star game at Community Stadium. The East used a touchdown with 54 seconds remaining in the game to pull out a 24-20 decision in a back-and-forth affair. "We struggled a little in the second half offensively. We missed some chances to pick up some first downs. But the kids played great," East coach Stub Travis of Crane said. With the East trailing 20-18 with 2:20 to go in the fourth, the hosts got the ball at its own 38-yard line.Along completion to Andrew Fullerton of Imbler was called back on a holding penalty and set up a difficult third and 29. But B.J. Warnock of Joseph was able to come up with a long catch and took the ball all the way down to the West's 22-yard line with 1:08 to play and gave the East new life. Then Fullerton hauled in a pass and got the ball to the eight-yard line. Fullerton followed that by taking a sweep to the left and fighting his way to the end zone to give fue East a 24-20 lead with under a minute to play. The West squad was unable to put together anything on the following possession. A sack by Tyler Schaffer of Cove forced a turnover on downs
and the East took a knee with one second left to ice the game. "It was great," Travis said of the East's final drive. ''We had the big penalty that brought it back. But we just stuck with our passing game and made the big plays when we needed to." The East had built up an 18-6lead in the first quarter before the West rallied to take a late lead. Fullerton hauled in a long reception on the opening drive of the game that set up a four-yard touchdown run by Mark Ishida. The West answered on its first possession, scoring on a Kendall Reese touchdown pass on fourth down from the eight yard line to tie the game at6-6. But the East took control after that. Ryan Opie connected ·with Trevor Lewis of Joseph for a 64-yard touchdown pass to put the East up 12-6. After a turnover on downs by the West, fue East put together a seven-play drive that ended on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Justin Larson to Fullerton to stretch the lead to 18-6 that the East took into the locker mom at halftime. "It was great to jump on them early and give us some momentum a little bit,"Travis said. The West regrouped at halftime and put together a sixplay, 69-yal'd dTive to stait tlte third quarter. Corbin Reed found Reese on a 29-yard touchdown pass and catch with 8:14 left in the quarter to cut the score to 18-14.
The East's offense struggled throughout the second hal~ turning the ball over on downs twice and throwing an interception on its first three possessions after halftime. "In the second half we came out and missed some opportunities to extend the lead. The West kind of stuck \vith what they were doing. They started running the ball more. "In the first half they were passing the ball and it wasn't very successful. So they went back to running it more," Travis said. The West took its first lead ofthe game on a touchdown pass from Reed to Richard Andreas with 2:23 to go in the fourth that set up tlte final set of plays that led to the \vin for the East. Fullerton was named the player of the game after scoring two touchdowns and coming up witlt an interception on defense.

Those words almost felt foreign to Eaton, almost too good to say out loud. Eaton came here simply to make the team, not history. To do both, well, it left him speechless.

its MLS history, now in its fourth season. Seattle was coming off a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City and a 4-lloss to Montreal. Still, the Sounders were favored against Spencer's unseasoned Portland squad. The Timbers entered the match in last place in the Western Division and 16th in the league in goals with 12. Portland took its third shutout in five games last Sunday in a 1-0 loss to the L.A. Galaxy. The team's disappointing start to the season and flagging offense led to media reports this week that Spencer's job could be in jeopardy if the Timbers fell flat against Seattle. The Timbers weren't flat but the early lead didn't feel permanent against the aggressive Sounders. Eddie Jolmson dribbled past Horst and fired a shot
past straining keeper Troy Perkins into the far corner of the net in the 59th minute. Freddy Montero had a narrow miss in the 74th minute and Johnson narrowly missed a header in stoppage time. As the Sounders kept up a desperate attack, the game became chippy, leading to several pushing and shoving incidents toward the end. Montero and Portland's L)Vel Palmer were both issued red cards in the final minutes. It was the third MLS meeting for the longtime Cascadia Cup rivals. Last year, in Portland's inaugural season, the teams played to a draw in Seattle before the Sounders won 3-2 in Portland. While Boyd said the win served "to get everybody off our backs and show that we can play," Horst said things never seemed that dire. He saw the win as an opportunity to build. "Last year, we had a turning point (in a 3-0 win over the league-leading Galaxy), where we had a little run," the defender said. "Hopefully, that's what this is - a turning point."
Mariners fall to San Diego, 2-0 SAN DIEGO (AP)- It was another loss, but a step in the right direction for Seattle's Hector Noesi. Edinson Volquez pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and Alexi Amarista hit a two-run double as the San Diego Padres beat the Mariners 2-0 on Sunday. Noesi (2-9) had one ofhis better recent outings as he allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings. But the right-hander still ended the day by extending his career-high losing streak to six games. Noesi also is tied with Baltimore's Jake An1eta for the major league lead in losses. "I thought he tlrrew the ball better," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "He was much more consistent,
ready witl1 everything." Noesi, who hasn't won since May 6 against Minnesota, allowed a two-run double to Alexi Amarista in the fourtl1 inning for the only runs of the game. "I didn't know he was going to swing at the first pitch," said Noesi, who added he was just trying to get ahead with a fastball but it was "up." That was all Volquez (4-7) needed as he was in command, allowing just fom singles in 6 2-3 innings. The right-hander was not hurt by the control issues that have han1pered him this season. Volquez, who leads the majors in walks with 55, walked three but was rarely stressed by the Mariners. He combined with three
relievers for the five-hitter: Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth inning fur his lOth save in as many chances. It was an emotional day for the Padr·es, who found out that longtime bullpen coach Darrel Akerfelds died from pancreatic cancer on Sunday morning. Volquez won for just the second time in his last eight starts. He had been 1-5 with a 5.72 ERA in his last seven, while walking at least tlrree in each of those outings. Seattle, which has lost three of four, did not have a runner advance past second base. The Mariners had scored 32 runs in the first five games of the road trip. "I thought overall we swung the bats well," Wedge said.
OLYMPIC TRIALS
EATON Continued from 1C Over two dr·eary and dank days on the track, Eaton shined. Then again, the 24-year-Dld may have been the one athlete who didn't mind the wet conditions. For the former Oregon Duck who grew up down tl1e road in Bend, this type offoul weather is pretty much all he's known. "It's kind oflike, 'Rain, OK, whatever,"' Eaton said. ''As a decathlete, you take pride in saying, 'The elements, I'm not going to let them affect me. It's just the 11th event. Another thing you have to fight through:" As a decathlete, he also takes enormous pride in knowing he now stands on hallowed ground, with some of tl1e biggest names ofthe past on hand to cheer him down the track. They were there as part of a tribute to the lOOth armiversary of the modem decathlon, when Jim Thorpe won the 10-event discipline in 1912. Also on hand was Dan O'Brien, who watched as Eaton toppled his American record of8,891 points, which he set in 1992 - nine years before Sebrle became the first man to go over 9,000 points. A commentator now, O'Brien reverted back to a fan while viewing Eaton. "The most impressive thing was that he kept up his intensity in this weather;' O'Brien said. "I certainly didn't think he could break the world record when you see the rain coming down like this. ''With that mindset and his athletic ability, nobody will be able to touch him." Maybe true. And maybe he does
PORTLAND (AP)- The Portland Timbers vanquished their archrivals and took some pressure off their embattled coach. Kris Boyd scored his fifth goal of the season, David Horst converted a header and the Timbers earned a much-needed 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders on Sunday. "I thought we showed an unbelievable amount of character," said Portland coach John Spencer, who had been dealing with reports he was on the hot seat. ''When (people) say players are not playing for me, I didn't see anyone not playing for me today" Portland (4-6-4) jumped ahead early and held off the attacking Sounders for its first win in the league series since joining the MLS last year. The Timbers went up in the 16th minute when Boyd slipped past the defense and sent a cross from Steven Smith into the net. David Horst scored on a header nine minutes later for the 2-0 lead. Seattle (7-5-4) saw its winless streak extend to seven games, the longest in

go into the London Garnes as the favorite, especially since reigning Olympic champion Bryan Clay won't be competing there and world champion Trey Hardee is still rounding into form after major elbow smgery Har·dee had a very solid meet and still finished a distant second, 656 points behind Eaton. Like everyone else, Hardee just soaked in the moment. "For me, it's something down the road that I'll tell my kids, my friends, my nephews about. I'll say, 'See, I saw it. I've got the pictures to prove it,mHardee said. This was a bitter day for Clay with a little silver lining at the end. He fell in the hurdles and finished 12th to miss out on making the team. Clay was in tears after the hurdles. And he was nearly brought to tears again as he watched Eaton set the new mark. "I was happy to be on the track when it happened - wished it could've been me," Clay said."It's been fun to watching him come up. "This is unbelievable. It's mindboggling." Witl1 each event, Eaton only seemed to grow stronger. Eaton began his campaign Friday by setting world-record marks for the decathlon in the 100 (10.21 seconds) and longjmnp (27 feet). He had a mark of 46 feet, 71A inches in shot put, cleared 6-8%
in the high jump and ran the 400 during a heavy downpom in 46.70 seconds to finish the first day in the conversation for a world record. More rain awaited Saturday. And more big results as well: 13.70 seconds in the 110 hurdles, 140-5 inches in the discus, and 1741h in the pole vault. His javelin throw of193-2 set him up for a chance at the world mark. Only, he would need to top his personal best in the 1,500. Fittingly, the sun broke tlrrough tl1e tl:rick clouds just as he began the race. Despite being exhausted, he found another burst of energy and flew across the finish line with time to spare. "That last 600 meters, I wasn't running with my own legs," said Eaton, who won seven of the 10 events. "It was incredible. I don't care what anyone says, there is magic here. I felt it for 600 meters. It was so special." Eaton always believed he could break 9,000 points, but he figured the feat would come when he was 28 and closer to the 2016 Rio Olympics. "Four years early," he said, laughing. "The great thing about this is, and not to pump my own tires, but I feel like I'm not maximized yet. "I feel like I can still run faster, jump higher, which I think makes it special. Hopefully, going to London, I'll be welcomed into the decathlon community." Eaton already is. "It pleases me to be in that fraternity with a kid that carries on a great tradition in a very classy way," Johnson said.

Gatlin wins 100 meters, Gay finishes in second EUGENE (AP) - Tyson Gay took a giant swig of water and tl1en another before crouching into the starting blocks. The American record holder breathed deeply and cleared his mind - forgetting all about the surgically repaired right hip or that he really hasn't tested it out at top-end speed in more than a year. All that mattered was this race before him, the 100-meter final in the U.S. Olympics trials Sunday night. And after flying down the track, not a trace of a limp in his step, this much was clear: The old Tyson Gay was back. He finished second to 2004 Olympic gold medalist Justin Gatlin, who crossed the line in 9.80 seconds. Gay was only 0.06 seconds behind, but the time hardly mattered. He was headed to the London Games when a year ago that very notion looked improbable. "Bittersweet. I always like to win," Gay said. "I came in second. But at the end of the day, it was about making the tean1. I got to make sure I tum this little bit of a frown into a happy face. For me to start training in March and make tl1e tearn is a beautiful accomplishment." Also joining Gatlin and Gay in London will be 23-year-old Ryan Bailey, who edged 2009 U.S. champion Mike Rodgers, Doc Patton and Walter Dix, tl1e Olympic bronze medalist in Be~jing.
Dix pulled up in the semifinals with a left hamstring injury and wasn't tl1e sarne in the final. He's hoping to be ready for the 200 later this week. "Things like this happen. I really can't say much about it," Dix said. For Gatlin, his comeback is near-ly complete. The last time he was at the Olympics trials - eight years ago - he was a youngster about ready to become the next big thing in sprinting. He won gold in Athens and a world title the following year, before his fall from grace. He tested positive for excessive testosterone in 2006, leading to a fom-year ban that prevented him from defending his title in Beijing. Now 30, he's attempting to repair his tarnished image. "Usually, I have a lot ofwords. I'm almost speechless," Gatlin said. ''Everything just feels so surreal. I just let the heart really go out and do what it had to do. "I wasn't too hyped, wasn't too calm. It felt just right and went out there and gave it my all. I have a lot more left in the tank." How much faster can he go? "Enough to win anotl1er gold," he said. As expected, LaShawn Merritt cruised to the 400 title. So did Sanya Richards-Ross moments later in the women's race. Both looked sharp ~~th London right around the comer.

ANGELS 51 DODGERS 3 ANAHEIM, Calif (AP) Mark Trumbo drove in Albert Pujols with the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning, and the Angels won their season se1ies with the Dodgers for the third straight year. Peter Bomjos hit an early two-run homer and Howie Kendrick added another RBI single in the seventh for the Angels, who won four of six in the Freeway Series. Bobby Abreu and Dee Gordon drove in early runs for the slumping Dodgers, who have lost six straight series to the Angels. Dodgers reliever Josh Lindblom (2-2) was the loser. Scott Downs (1-0) pitched one hitless inning of relief; and Emesto Frieri got four outs to earn his ninth save for the Angels, who have won 11 of15. ATHLETICS 41 GIANTS 2 OAKLAND, Cali£ (AP) Derek Norris hit a three-run shot with two outs in the ninth inning for his first major league home run, and the Athletics walked off with a stunning victory over the San Francisco Giants. Norris hammered a fullcount pitch from Santiago Casilla (1-3) over the left-field wall to help the.Ns avoid the first tlrree-game sweep by San Francisco in Oakland. It was Casilla's second blown save in 22 chances this season in place ofbearded closer B1ian Wilson. Jim MiHer (2-0) pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings for the victory. Buster Posey's two-run homer in the first was all the Giants could squeeze out against A.J. Griffin.
