An Elgin man was arrested Friday after being indicted on charges of manslaughter in the second degree, criminally neg ligent homicide and recklessly endangering another person in connection with a Febru ary traffic crash that killed a Union Countyroad department employee. Union County District At torney Tim Thompson said Friday that Harold A. Fruitts, Jr. also known as J.R. Fruitts, turned himself in after being notified there was a warrant for his arrest. He had been indicted Wednesday by a Union County grand jury following a lengthy investigation. The charges stem from a crash Feb. 28 in which Fruitts hit and killed John E. Rysdam III while driving a vehicle on Palmer Junction Road a half mile north of Elgin. Rysdam, 60, was an employee of the Union County Public Works Department and was working on Palmer Junction

When was 'Pillars

of the Sky' filmed in Union County? — M.B., La Grande Fifty-seven years have passed since this western, which featured a star studded cast and a highly regarded director, was filmed here. "Pillars of the Sky," whose cast Jeff Chandler, Dorothy Malone, Ward Bond and Lee Marvin, was shot in Union County in the summer of 1955. Most of the footage was filmed 11 miles west of La Grande near where the La Grande Rifle and Pistol Club is. Severalstructures were builtat the site,including a bridge acrossthe Grande Ronde River. Up to 200spectatorswatched some of the filming. An article in the Aug. 22, 1955,Observer said production off icials w ere asking spectators toleavetheir children at home. The reason was that audio equipment was picking up the sound of children talking. La Grande residents saw the cast members in town often because many stayed at the old Sacajawea Hotel, which is where the U.S. Bank building is today. SeeMovie / Page 3A

Jared Boyd of the DA's office said Friday he can't yet release specific details as to the rea sons why the indictment was handed down, except to say the circumstances of the crash "went beyond a mere accident." Fruitts was arraigned Friday in Union County Circuit Court. Judge Russell West set bail at

$50,000.

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE I 666

OUR VIEW

en er •'g•

It isn't own that the U.S. Congress takes an ac tion to specifically benefit some little community in Northeast Oregon. It did recently, though, and as a result the City of Wallowa will have a tourist attrac tion it can point to with real pride. The House of Representatives and the Senate passed legislation that will transfer federal land to both the cities of Wallowa and La Pine in Oregon. All that's left is for President Obama to sign the legisla tion into law. The City of Wallowa, long recognized as the gate way to scenic Wallowa County, will take ownership of the Forest Service ranger station in town and transform it into a center showing o6'the culture and history of the community. The city will partner with a non-profit entity to create and run the center. The idea has been in the works since at least 2009, when U.S. Representative Greg Walden intro duced a conveyance bill in the House. Senators Ron Wyden and JeA'threw their weight behind similar legislation. The Oregon delegation is to be lauded for mak ing a new cultural center in Wallowa a possibility. But perhaps the person most responsible for this fortunate turn of events is Gwen Trice, creator and tireless promoter of the Maxville Heritage Center. Trice is the daughter of one of the many black men who came to Maxville, the little logging town not far from Wallowa, in the 1920s, looking for work in the woods. The jobs were there, but those men and their fami lies endured Jim Crow-type segregation in the little community. At the same time, they helped Maxville thrive. And though it's gone as a town now, Maxville has become an icon of Wallowa County's past. Trice has tirelessly worked to preserve and promote this wonderful bit of American history, and she was been the go-to person for Walden, Wyden and Merkley as they' ve worked to get the conveyance legislation through. Now that a Wallowa cultural center's about to become a reality, here's hoping the whole of Wallowa County gets behind the eA'ort to turn it into some thing people will travel far to see.

Football's problem not going away Are you ready for some football? First, however, are you ready for some autopsies? The opening of the NFL training camps coincided with the closing of the investigation into the April suicide by gunshot of Ray Easterling, 62, an eight-season NFL safety in the 1970s. The autopsy found moderately severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy iCTEl, progressive damage to the brain associatedwith repeated blows to the head. CTE was identified as a major causeofEasterling'sdepression and dementia. NFL great Junior Seau dies at 43:Duringa 20-year professional foot ballcareer,the linebacker played forthe San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. Seau is survived by three children. You may also like... In February 2011, Dave Duerson, 50, an 11-year NFL safety, committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest to sparehisbrain tissue forresearch, which has found evidence of CTE. Brain tissue of 20-season linebacker JuniorSeau, who was 43 when he killed himself the same way in May, is being studied. The NFL launched a mental health hotline developed and operated with the assistance of specialists in suicide prevention. Football is bigger than ever, in several senses. Bear Bryant's 1966 undefeated Alabama team had only 19 players who weighed more than 200 pounds. The heaviest weighed 223. The linemen averaged 194. The quarterback weighed 177. Today, many high school teams are much bigger. In 1980, only three NFL players weighed 300 or more pounds. In 2011,according topro-football-reference. corn, there were 352, including three 350-pounders. Thirty-one of the NFL's 32 offensive linesaveraged more than

300.

Various unsurprising studies indi cate high early mortality rates among linemen resulting from cardiovascular disease. For all players who play five or more years, life expectancy is less than 60; for linemen it is much less. After 20 years of caring for her hus band, Easterling's widow is one of more than 3,000plaintiffs— former players, spouses, relatives— in a lawsuitcharg ing that the NFL inadequately acted on knowledge it had, or should have had, about hazards such as CTE. We are, however, rapidly reaching the point where playing football is like smoking cigarettes: The risks are well-known.

Guilty pleasure Not that this has prevented smokers Rom successfully suing tobacco compa nies. But, then, smoking is an addiction. Football is just an increasingly guilty pleasure. Might Americans someday feel as queasy enjoying it as sensible people now do watching boxing and wonder ing how the nation was once enamored of a sport the point of which is brain trauma? That is unlikely. Degenerate prize fighting, or prizefighting for degenerates — called mixed martial arts or "ultimate fighting" — is booming. Still, football has bigger long-term problems than lawsuits. Football is entertainment in which the audience is expected to delight in gladiatorial action that a growing portion of the audience knows may cause the players degenera tivebrain disease.Noteven football fans, a tribe not known for savoring nuance, can forever block that fact Rom theirexcited brains. Furthermore, in this age ofbubble

wrapped children, when parents put helmets on wee tricycle riders, many childrenare going to be steered away from youth football, diverting the flow of talent to the benefit of other sports. In the NFL, especially, football is increasinglya spectacle,agame sur roundedby manufactured f on the grass and in the increasingly unpleas ant ambiance of the fans in the stands. Football on the field is a three-hour adrenaline-and-testosterone bath. For all its occasional elegance and beauty, it is basically violence for, among other purposes, inflicting intimidating pain. iSeau said his job was "to inflict pain on my opponent and have him quit.") The New Orleans Saints' "bounty" system of cash payments to players who knocked opposingplayers outofgames crossed a line distinguishing the essence of the game Rom the perversion of it. This is, however, an increasingly faint line. Decades ago, this column lightheart edly called football a mistake because it combines two of the worst features of American life — violence, punctuated by committee meetings, which football calls huddles. Now, however, accumulating evidence about new understandings of the human body — the brain, especially, but not exclusively — compel the conclu sionthatfootballisa m istake because the body is not built to absorb, and can not be adequately modified by training or protected by equipment to absorb, the game's kinetic energies. After 18 people died playing football in 1905, even PresidentTheodore Roos evelt, who loved war and gore generally, flinched and forced some rules changes. Today, however, the problem is not the rules; itisthe fi ction thatfootballcan be fixed and still resemble the game fans relish.

He said bite marks on the carcass had evidence of a 1 7/8 to 2 inch spacing between them, which is consistent with wolf bites, but the Fish and Wildlife reportsurmised the calfwasfed on by coyotes. Wallowa County Commis sioner Susan Roberts, who was at the investigation, said the ribs ly a day and a half, Rod Childers, were eaten down to the spine, the Oregon Cattlemen's Wolf Com calfwas stripped clean and the mittee Chairman said. majority of the meat was gone. The remaining front leg had Childers said the calf was found bite marks and evidence of hema 10 to15feetfrom a poolofblood toma and the other front leg was the "size of the hood of a pickup." "Coyotes don't drag down a 400 tom off and separated from the carcass up a hill 8 yards, and the pound carcass — a live animal

bleeds, a dead animal doesn't," said Childers, "And they don' t generally run as a pack in the middle of the summer." Todd Nash, who has lost sev eral calves to wolves in the past few years agreed. "I' ve never seen a 400-pound calf killed by coyotes, ever," said Nash. Radio collar evidence has indicated that the Imnaha Pack wolves have been in the Wallowa Whitman National Forest this summer and not on the prairie, but wolf sightings are prevalent. Two months ago Duwayne Voss, a Wallowa County rancher, saw a wolf chasing a horse ap

proximately 3/8 of a mile from where the calf was found dead. A Fish and Wildlife investigation determined that the horse was not injured by wolves. In late winter, Childers said two wolveswere video taped on the prairie. When the tape was comparedtophotographs ofthe original 16 Imnaha Pack wolves, they didn't match up and are be lievedtonotbe attached tothat

pack, he said. However, wolf activity on the prairie does appear to be fol lowing the same trails or "wolf highways" as the Imnaha Pack did when they traveled across the Wallowa Valley, said Childers.

FIRE Continued ~om Page1A In Oregon, crews built a fire line on the blaze's north edge asthey prepared efforts to keep it from spreading into Oregon Can yon and east toward a power line. 0$cials also said dry lightning was forecast overnight Sunday. Dry conditions and thick vegetation have made working on the fire difficult, according to officials. Antelope season opened Saturday, and the Bureau of Land Management closed land west of U.S. 95 between Whitehorse Road andthe Nevada state line to protect hunters. West said the closure remained in effect Sunday. The blaze, named for a mountain in northern Nevada, was 48 percent con tained. In south-central Oregon, the Barry Point Fireremained active Sunday and had burned about 48 square miles of timber, brush and grass southwest of Lakeview. Like the Holloway Fire, the blaze was ignited this week by lightning. Fire spokeswoman Renee Snyder said an evacuation notice remained in effect for about 15 homes near Drews Reservoir. Residents in another 30 homes have been advised they might receive such a notice and should have a plan in place if the situ ation worsens. Fire crews have contained 25 percent of the fire that's burning on private and Fremont-Winema National Forest lands. The weather forecast for the area where Oregon, California and Nevada converge calls for hot, dry weather through Friday.

that takes up a whole page of all of the very specialized support groups, but if you live in small towns and you need averyspecific support group, it may be a long drive to get to it, and then you' d need a commuter's support group as well. Gone are the days, in big cities anyway, when an A.A. meeting was for anyone with a drinking problem. Now it seems they have A.A. groups for left-handed bikers who were abused as children and now suffer from arachnophobia. I may have made that one up. But now there's gay A.A. for non-smokers. There's A.A. for women only. There's A.A. for those diagnosed with a mental problems. There' s singles-only A.A., so you can sober up and presumably meet someone who's sober ing up! I noticed once the Albu querque support group for mothers of twins invited anyone to come to their meet ings. One didn't need to have twins to go. I imagined my going. What would that be all about? Honest, there is a Lesbian Daughters of Survivors of the Holocaust support group. That's specific. iThere's the Northwest League Against Cruel Sports, but if you think it's an Oregon/Washington box ing head injury survivors' organization, think again. It's a United Kingdom group against hunting.) In small towns such as those in the Grande Ronde, you can't trust that people in your support group will be exactly like you. With my luck, the memory loss support group would include common scatter brains who mislay their keys. Amateurs! The modern formula for a support group's success includes that other members be our peers. A peer is some one similar to you. For some people that means clinging

Olympic champion for the second time in a row. The International Olympic Com mittee said Ostapchuk, a former w orld champion, tested positive forsteroidsboth before and after winning the shot put last week for her first Olympic gold. After an IOC hearing, she was formally expelled from the games and had her victory and medal removed.

u or A good way to get to know people is to join a support group. The trouble is finding the group just right for you. I grew up in an A.A. house hold, so I know a lot about A.A. Both of my parents were sober 20-plus years before their deaths.A.A. meetings back then included everyone. And A.A. has served as a model for hundreds of other peer-support groups The success of modern sup port groups has been based on the word "peer." Who knows better how to cope with a problem than some one who has dealt with it? But some people take "peer" to mean "someone exactly like me." After writing my last column about stereotyping people by age, I hate to admit that I have problems remem bering things. Maybe a sup port group would help, but just having a failing memory doesn't seem to me enough of a reasonto gettogether with others. MarkTwain complained about his fading memory in old age, saying, 'When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happenedor not;butm y fac ulties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened." I read that many if not most memory problems are not age-r elated per se.I'd lookforthatarticle sofolks wouldn't think I was making it up, but I can't remember where I read it. But I'm sure I didn't just imagine it. I suppose one of those sup port groups would help, but theideaofgetting together with others who forget ev erything scares me. Suppose theyallforgetto come to the meeting? Then where would Ibe? Sittinginaring of empty chairs wondering what I was doing there. Besides, who wants to listen to all that whining about forgetting pin numbers and relatives' names? That sounds boring. Come back when you can tell me about putting the cat in the freezer and letting the ice cream out the back door to pee. Small towns aren't always greatplacestofind a support group anyway. For one thing, Alcoholics Anonymous is far less anonymous where every one knows everyone. In some cities, the newspa pers run a weekly calendar

laking the clutter

Gary Friedman/ LosAngelesTimes

challenge

Water melon, feta, mint and a cumin-lime dressing are mixed together in this salad.

By Penny Nakamura WesCom News Service

I'm not sure if I'm an anomaly or not. But by the sheer number of books and magazines I own about organizing and clearing the clutter, I'm guessing there are others like me — people with a disorganized house. And admittedly, the word"disorganized"might be a bit of an understatement to describe our household clutter. Which is why, when I mentioned to my family that my next do-it-yourself project would be organizing my upstairs home office, my girls looked absolutely mortified at the prospect. aYou have got to be joking, Mom. They' re going to think you should be on the show 'Hoarders,"' smirked my 17-year-old daughter Kiyoko. 'This is going to be so embarrassing. Can I change my last name?" chimed in my 14-year-old daughter Taye. So, gentle readers, I am throwing open my office doors, to air my dirty laundry, so to speak.

Help on the way With a crisply ironed button-down shirt, complete with her company logo, "Tammie to the Rescue," brightly embroidered on it, Tammie Barber is fastidiously neat, fast-talking and some one who gets straight to the point. "OK, you can do this. The word of the day is: purge," said an enthusiastic Barber, who was still smiling as she perused my chaotic office space. "Half of this could all go, and you wouldn't miss it. Trust me." Barber is a licensed and bonded professional organizer who's been doing this type of work for a decade. Because she offered to coach me through this, I had no choice but to trust her on this DIY project. Her company logo has her cartoon character wearing a superhero cape, and she promised she could bring order to my chaos and restore my sanity, too. I was skeptical, but my paper trail, also known as the paper trap in this office, neededtobecurtailed. The most reassuring thing she said to me is that I'm not really a hoarder, as my family has accused me of. "Believe me, I' ve worked with real hoarders, and it's a psychological problem. I' ve had to work with them and their psychologists who are helping them. You aren't a real hoarder," Barber soothingly assured me.

Game plan As Barber walked around in my small office space, she asked me why I have two printers and two paper shredders. Good question, for which I did not have a good answer. I think I meekly mumbled, "In case one of them breaks down." Barber assured me I don't need the redundancy of having two printers and two shredders. The questioning continued as she looked at my cluttered desk. 'Why do you need five cups of pens?" ''What are in these filing cabinets?" askedBarber.Ifeltgood,because I actually knew the answer to this ques tion, "Oh, we have our old tax papers in there." Barber explained the Internal Rev enue Service only requires you to keep seven years' worth of taxes, and the rest can be shredded. Barberadmitted she can be strict when trying to organize a client, and upon further questioning, I realized my feeble answers weren't cutting it. ''What else are in these filing cabi nets?" I stammered, because in all honesty, I hadn't really filed anything in those cabinets for several years now. "I think it's the kids' schoolwork and arhvork from their elementary school years." Barber gently explained that I'd need to go through it and purge as much as

possible. Barberpicked up oneofthe maga zines lying on one of two clutter-filled tables in my office and asked the dreaded question, "Do you really need this? How old is this magazine? It's from last year," answering her own question after reading the cover. "Do you really need this?"

M y dad has never been much ofafood guy. I still remember his go-to comfort dish when I was a kid was something he called "bread soup," which, if I recall correctly, consisted of

tom-up white bread soaked in milk. I guess growing up in North Dakota will do that to you. But when it came to melons, he was way ahead of the curve. Served a wedge of canta loupe, he'd sprinkle it with salt and pepper. I' ve never seen anyone else do that, but the combination is terrific — a good melon is way too wonderful to be treated only as a sweet. There are plenty of traditional examples of this. The most obvious is melon and pro sciutto, and a very good one it is: the satin saltiness of the ham playing against the buttery sweetness of the melon. That's only the beginning of possibilities. I remember well the Thai melon salad Mary Sue Milliken Kirk McCoy/LosAngeles Times and Susan Feniger used to serve at their old Pastry chef Roxana Jullapat of Cooks County Restaurant in Los Angeles drips honey City restaurant, nitro-fueled by fish sauce over melon sorbet and honey cake and figs. and chiles.

/2 cup packed light brown sugar /2 cup granulated sugar "/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon "/4 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled

By Lauren Chattman Neyysday

In general, the lessat tractivea summer dessert, the more I enjoy making and eating it. Messy-looking cobblers and crispshave that combinationofcrisp pastry and juicy fruit that I crave at this time of year. Same goes forrusticfree-form crostatas, brown betties and crumbles. None of them would win a beauty contest, but each one is quick and easy and deliv ersfresh fruitflavor along with some buttery goodness. So after I ran through my usual repertoire by the end of July, I was tempted to try something different but equally homely, a buckle. This dessert is made by mixing vanilla cake batter with fruit and then topping the mixture with streusel crumbs. The sunken fruit and crumb topping combine to give the cake a "buckled" appearance when it emerges from the oven. According to baking lore, the buckle dates back to Colonial times. Of course, nothing was simple back then. To bake a buckle in the 18th century, the cook first had tobuil d aw ood fi re and let it burn until it generated hot coals. Then, he or she had to monitor the heat underneath

A crunchy crumb topping contributes to the "buckled" appearance of this simple cake. the cast iron skillet contain ing the buckle, moving the skillet around as necessary so that the buckle would bake without burning. Today, making a buckle is much easier. The only diffi culty is in deciding what kind of fruit to use when so much good stuff is available at farm stands and supermarkets. Blueberries are traditional. Sourcherriesipitted,of course) are also great. Italian plums, pitted and quar tered, would also work. I' ve been using a combination of peaches and raspberries,

which contribute sweetness and bright acidity to finished cake. The secret to a good crumb topping is in your fingertips. Use your fingers to blend the butter with some sugar and flour. Then freeze the mixture while you make the cake. Pinch the mixture into smalland largecrumbs as you scatter them over the batter. The frozen crumbs will hold their shape in the oven, while warmer crumbs might dissolve into a smooth layer. With so much fruit, it can

be difficult to tell when your buckle is ready to come out of the oven. Use the toothpick test, inserting one into the centerofthe caketo seeif it comes out clean of cake batter. But a little moisture is OK if it is from the bubbling fruit.

PEACH AND RASPBERRY BUCKLE For the topping: 1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

For the cake: 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder /2 teaspoon salt 2 large or 3 small peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into "/4-inch-thick slices (about 2 cups) 1 cup raspberries, washed and picked over 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened '/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract "/2 cup milk

1. Make the topping: Com binethe fl our,brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with your fingers, pinching the but ter pieces, until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some largercrumbs. Placeit in the freezer while making the cake batter. 2. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together the

four,baking powder and salt l in a medium bowl. In another bowl, toss the peaches and raspberries with '/4 cup of the flour mixture. 3. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twiceas necessary.Add >/3of the remaining flour mixture until incorporated. Add '/2 of the milk. Repeat, alternating flourand milk and ending with flour. Gently stir the berries and peaches into the batter. 4. Scrape the batterinto the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer with a small metal spatula. Squeeze the crumb mixture through your fingertips and onto the top of the cake, forming small and large crumbs in an even layer. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean ofbat ter ithere might be moisture clinging to it from the fruit), 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Run a sharp paring knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake beforereleasing the sides. Slice and serve. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

"The graphic display along

Las Vegas standards, it was a shocking billboard: A mannequin dangling on a hangman's noose below a black sign with the omi nous words "Dying for Work." Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremie Elliott says the 911 calls started coming in as the sun came up early Wednesday, with drivers worried the stiff, black-suited dummy swaying at the end ofa rope along Interstate 15 near Bonanza Road was a real person. "It's a publicity stunt, obviously done in bad taste," said Elliott, addingthatofftcialswerefocused on getting it down quickly to avoid distracting drivers during the morning commute. The graphic display along the interstatewas one ofatleast two unauthorized signs spotted Wednesday morning in the Las Vegas area. Another found on Highland Avenue and Desert Inn Road was white with black letter ing that read, "Hope You' re Happy Wall St.," and a similar manne quin hanging off the edge.

While nobody has publicly claimed responsibility for the signs, the Occupy Las Vegas group, which is affIliated with the larger Occupy Wall Street movement, posted photos of the displays on its website. Its caption says the Nevada governor's bud gethas slashed socialprograms and aid to suicidal adults. Sebring Frehner, an Occupy supporter who posted the photos, told The Associated Press he didn't know who put the hang men up, but applauded the mes sage behind it. "Peoplesaying it'sin bad taste are living sheltered lives and don't pay attention to what affects the working class," he said.

AT A GLANCE

Tigers to host football camp Coaches for the La Grande High School football team will be hosting a camp Tuesdaythrough Thursday at the LHS practice fields. There will be two sessions. The first is for kids in grades seventh through 12th and will run from 7 to 9 a.m. The second session is for kids in grades second through sixth and will go from 9to 11 a.m. The cost is $30 and includes a Tshirt. Participants should arrive 15 minutes prior to the session to register. For more informa tion call La Grande High School at 541-663-3300.

A familiar face will be in charge of the La Grande High School football team this fall. With the sudden resigna tion of Dave Collinsworth last week, LHS administrators hiredformer assistant coach Kenny Mace to head the team. "I'm excited," Mace said. "This is something I' ve been working towards. I didn' t think it'd happen this soon, but the situation came up." Mace has been a LHS assistant forthe pastsix seasons. He started out coaching the

offensive and defensive lines, then ran the special teams beforemoving on to coordi nating the offense. Last year under Collin sworth, Mace had his first shot as a defensive coordinator. "I' ve been an assitant for a while. But each year my responsibilities grew," Mace said. That versatility, along with the factthatalloflastyear's assitant's are returning, should make the transition to a new head coach a little smoother for the players.

'This will be the third head coach in the last three years. I can't imagine going through thatas a player,"M ace said. "But I'm fortunate to have the same staf. I think we need to make sure there are familiarfacesaround forthe

kids." W ith practi cesscheduled to begin Aug. 20 and the season right around the corner, Mace doesn't plan on changing too much within the schemes. "I think due to the situation we' re in, we want to keep as much as we can the same. ''We need to playto our

strengths. We' re going to have a bigemphasis on the special teams,"Mace said. Mace grew up in White Salmon, Wash., before playing a coupleofseasons atFeather River College in California. He earned a scholarship to play at Eastern Oregon University, where he played a season under former head coach Ian Shields. Now he will roam the side lines of Community Stadium as a head coach. Mace said he will address the team for the first time today and get things rolling.

After a 3-6 record a year ago, Mace said that he has high hopes for his first year in charge. "Dave had high expecta tions, and I think they need to stay there. 'This is an interim job, but it's something that I want to keep doing. Idon'thavefour years to build a program. We need results this year," Mace said. He will have his first chance to earn win No. 1 Aug. 31 when the Tigers host Nyssa at Community Stadium.

Rinker 6rst to 6nish inaugural Elgin Sprint Triathlon ELGIN — Lauran Rinker was the first person to finish the inaugural Sprint Tri athlon in Elgin Saturday. She won the town's Sprint Triathlon by taking the lead early in the run, then add ing to it in both the bicycle and swim legs. The nine-year-old from La Grande beat her seven-year old-brother Owen Rinker and Aryanna Bouten in the small field of threecompetitors. But in the older category, the lead changed hands several times. Diane Grandeen had a big lead after the three-mile run, but it didn't hold up as Bon nie Hayslett came from behind in the swim leg to win the 18-and older division of the inaugural Elgin Sprint Triathlon Saturday. Grandeen had built up a large lead after the three-mile run, only to see it disappear during the bike leg. Grandeen was one of two competitors who took a wrong turn and added about a half-mile to their ride. According to Grandeen, the biggest prob lem was she brought a mountain bike to a road bike race.

The Dolphins ter minated the six-time Pro Bowl receiver's contract about 24 hours after he was arrested in a do mestic battery case involving his wife.

course record 61:11 for the first running of Elgin's Sprint Triathlon. Mary Rowland of La Grande had a strong swim leg to take secondplacewith a time of63:13. Brainerd was third in 64:07 after enter ing the final swim leg with a lead. Kelly McGlaughlin of Summerville placed fourth in 68 minutes flat, while Grandeen took fikh in 73:10. Grandeen said earlier thatshe needed tohave asbig a lead as she could get to make up for her swimming. Elgin's Bejia Robbins took sixth in 75:30, while Carolyn Erickson of La Grande fol lowed with a 79:32 time. Patty Herron of El gin was eighth in 83:20, while June Wilson of La Grande finished ninth in 84:28. According to race director Amanda Eckstein, the race may have been small, but it was a success. "I only heard some little thing," she said, when asked about com ments from the racers. The small size oftherace also gavethe volunteers and the staff a chance to learn what they need to do when there is a larger ieldofcompetitors. f The fees raised by the competition was enough to give out swim lesson scholar ships for 10 children next summer, Eckstein

'Happy and glorious' Olympics come to rocking end LONDON (APl — With a little British pomp

Casey Kellas/TheObserver

Maggie McKenzie of Baker City rode in the barrel racing at the junior rodeo at the Mavericks Arena Saturday and Sunday. The rodeo was the last of the summer for the Cayuse Junior Rodeo Association.

The Cayuse Junior Rodeo Association had its final rodeo of the summer this weekend at the Mavericks Arena. Cowboys and cowgirls ranging from 5 years old to 18 competed for two days in various events.

La Grande was the sixth stop of the summer, with previous rodeos held in Arlington, Milton-Freewater, Halfway, Hermiston and Heppner. Full results weren' t immediately available.

Calvin Shaffer of Summerville rode Whiplash for 69 points in the ranch saddle bronc riding Sunday at the Mavericks Arena. Justin McGinn (left) of Haines competed in the chute dogging.

and a lot of British pop, London brought the curtain down on a glorious Olympic Games on Sunday in a spectacular, technicolor pageant of landmarks, lightshows and lots of fun. The closing ceremony offered a sensory blast including rock 'n' roll rickshaws, dustbin percus sionists, an exploding yellow car and a marching band in red tunics and bearskin hats. The Spice Girls staged a show-stopping reunion, and Monty Python's Eric Idle sauntered through "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" — accompanied by Roman centurions, Scottish bagpipers and a human cannonball. It all made for a psychedelic mashup that had 80,000 fans at Olympic Stadium stomping, cheering and singing along. Organizers estimat ed 300 million or more were watching around the world. What a way to end a games far more success ful than many Londoners expected. Security woes were overcome, and trafIic nightmares never materialized. The weather held up, more or less, and British athletes overachieved. It all came with a price tag of $14 billion three times the original estimate. But nobody wanted to spoil the fun with such mundane concerns, at least not on this night. aWe lit the flame, and we lit up the world," said London organizing committee chief Sebas tian Coe. 'When our time came, Britain, we did it right." International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge declared the Olympics over with praiseforthe athletes. 'Through your commitment to fair play, your respectforopponents,and your grace in defeat as well as in victory, you have earned the right to be called Olympians," he said, adding: 'These were happy and glorious games." But the night was about splash more than speeches. Festive and fast-moving, the ceremony opened with pop bands Madness, Pet Shop Boys and One Direction, a shout-out to Winston Churchill and a tribute to the Union Jack — the floor of Olympic Stadium floor arranged to resemble the British flag. Monochrome recreations of London land marks were covered in newsprint, from Big Ben's clock tower and Tower Bridge to the Lon don Eye ferris wheel and the chubby highrise known as the Gherkin. Street percussion group Stomp built the noise into a frenzy, and dancers brandished brooms, in a nod to the spontaneous popular movement to clean up London after riots shook neighborhoods not far from Olympic Stadium just a year ago. Liam Gallagher performed 'Wonderwall,a a 1990s hit by his former band, Oasis, Muse rocked the house with the hard-edged Olympic anthem "Survival," and Queen guitarist Brian May was joined by singer Jessie J for a crowd pleasing aWe Will Rock You." The headline performers were each paid a pound, a little more than $1.50. The night ended with the extinguishing of the multi-petaled Olympic cauldron and a super charged rendition of "My Generation" and other classics by The Who that had the crowd dancing m the aisles. Confetti rained down, and fireworks lit up the

sky.

McIlroy runs away from field for PGA Championship crown KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (APl Right down to his red shirt, Rory M cIlroy looked every bitthe partof golf's next star in another command performance at the PGA Championship. McIlroy validated his record setting U.S. Open win last year by blowing away the field Sunday at Kiawah Island. One last birdie from 25 feet on the 18th hole gave him a 6-under 66 for an eight-shot victory, breaking the PGA Championship recordformargin ofvictory that Jack Nicklaus set in 1980. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland returned to No. 1 in the world, and he became the youngest player since Seve Ballesteros to win two majors. Tiger Woods was about four months older than McIlroy when he won his second major. Just like the U.S. Open, this one was never seriously in doubt. McIlroy seized control with back to-back birdies Sunday morning to complete the storm-delayed third round with a 67 and build a three shot lead. No one got closer than two shots the rest of the way, and McIlroy closed out a remarkable w eek by playing bogey-fiee over the final 23 holes of a demanding Ocean Course. DavidLynn,a 38-year-old from England who was playing in America for the first time, won the B-flight. He closed with a 68 and was the runner-up.

• 0 •

Woods, who shared the 36-hole lead for the second time this year in a major, was never a serious factor. He tossed away his chances Saturday before the storm blew in and never could get closer than four shots. He closed with a 72, failing to break par on the weekend in any of the four majors for the first time in his career. If there was a signature shot for McIlroy at Kiawah Island, it might have been Saturday when his tee shot lodged into a tree on the third hole. He only found it with help from the TV crew, took his penalty shot and fired a wedge into 6 feet to save par. He was on his way, and he never let up. McIlroy also won the U.S. Open by eight shots, the kind of domi nance that Woods has displayed over so many years. By winning the PGA Champi onship, he is halfway home to the career Grand Slam. "Itwas a greatround ofgolf. I'm speechless," said McIlroy after hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy, the heaviest of the four majors. "It' s just been incredible. I had a good feelingabout itatthestart.Inever imagined to do this." Winning the final major the year ends what had been a tumultuous season for McIlroy. Despite winning the Honda Classic in early March, he went into a tail spin by missing four cuts over five tournaments, as

Poulter, who started the final round six shots behind, made six birdies through seven holes to get within two shots. He made three straight bogeys on the back nine and had to settlefora 69. He tiedforthird at4-under 284, along with Justin Rose (66l and de fendingchampion Keegan Bradley

(68l. In the final qualifying event for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, nothing changed. Phil Mickelson was holding down the eighth and final spot, and he stayed there when neither Bo Van Pelt nor Steve Stricker could make a move on the back nine. Davis Love III will announce four captain's picksin threewe eks. M cIlroy was tied forthe lead with Vijay Singh when he returned Sunday. Twenty-seven holes later, he had no peer in the final major of the year. When he won the U.S. Open last MCT photo year, Padraig Harrington suggested Rory Mcllroy celebrates his win at the PGA Championship on that perhaps McIlroy — not Woods — might be the one to challenge Kiawah Island on Sunday. the record 18 majors won by Jack questions swirled that his romance We all go through those spells in Nicklaus. with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki our careers.

The U.S. came in averaging nearly 117 points and stomping on their competition with such ease that even the Olympics' own daily preview had a hard time envision ing intrigue, writing that it would "likely take a great game Rom Spainand an off-day Rom theUSA to cause an upset." Well, Spain brought the great game and trailed by only a point heading into the fourth quarter. But the Spanish somehow lost sight of James, and the game's best player drove uncontested and threw it down for a 99-91 lead with 2:48 left. After Mare Gasol dunked, James dribbled outside the circle with Mare Gasol giving him just a bit too much room, and James pulled up for the 3 that made it 102 93 with 1:59 to play. Pau Gasol then was called for an offensive foul on a pick, and the Americans could sense that it was over. Gasol, who carried the flag for Spain in the opening ceremony, nearly carried his country to its greatest Olympic basketballglory, but had a big miss inside with Spain down by six about three minutes to go, screaming out loud in frustration as he went back down the court. "I am disappointed, but on the other side I'm very proud how of the wecompeted,how we played," Gasol said. ''We fought for 40 minutes. I am proud of having another Olympic medal around my neck."
