W as the construction of Powder Valley High School's gym in the 1930s a federal government project?

Yes. The gym was built with funds from the federal government's Public Works Administration program in 1936 and 1937. The Public Works Administration, established in 1933 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, built the gym at a cost of $23,000, according to a story in the April 16, 1937, of the old newspaper "North Powder News."

The building was described then as a gym-auditorium, featuring an ath­ letic and dance fioor, shower and club rooms and a "picture projection booth."

The basketball court was described as being made ofhardwood ofexcep­ tional quality because it also was to serve as a dance fioor.

The new building replaced a gym that had been destroyed by fire in 1936, according to the book "A History of Union County Schools" by Stella Edvalson.

The gym lost to the fire had been "woefully inadequate," according to the article in the North Powder News by Paul E. Schiller, the principal of North Powder's public schools. The old gym lacked a See Answers / Page 2A

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2012

This year's Republican candidate for Oregon Attorney General made a stop in La Grande recently, expressing conservative views and saying he would use the office to fight for government reform at both the state and federal levels.

James Buchal, a lawyer fi om Portland who has not heldelective offi cebefore, said government account­ ability one of his primary concerns. He told The Observer that in his private practice he has worked numerous cases involving state and federal govern­ ment agencies, and thinks the experience will come in handy if he is elected.

"I have a dark view.

Because I' ve done a lot of litigation against the gov­ ernment, I' ve got an under­ standing about how things go wrong," Buchal said.

Buchal was born in Madison, Wise., in 1959 but grew up in Illinois and Vir­ ginia. He earned a degree in physics at Harvard in 1981, and a law degree at Yale University in 1985. He alsoholds amast ers degree fi om the Yale School of Management.

H e practi ced law fora Wall Street law firm before

moving to Portland in 1991.

He said he decided to run for for attorney general at the urging of Allen Alley, chairman of the Oregon Republican Party, and since has been traveling the state to drum up support.

"I' ve been mostly talking to Republicans and get­ ting them fired up. What I'm hearing from people in Union County is that they' re angry about timber issues, and government be­ ing out of control," he said.

Launches campaign He launched his cam­ paign in early June, saying fiom the start that the Oregon attorney general' s office has not carried out its duty of investigating allegations of wrongdo­ ing by public officials. He said he believes there is wrongdoing to uncover and prosecute. ''We live in a time of total failure of accountability of public officials and I think that's because they' re all part of the same gang," he said. "I'd like to open up new areas. I'd like to have hotlines people could call to report someone ripping the state off" he said.

Buchal also said he thinks the Oregon attorney general has the power to

infiuence reform at the federal government level.

As one example, he said he believes a case can be made that current timber policy resulting in catastrophic fires poses a threat to the public safety. ''We' ve gotfundamen­ tal powers to protect the health and safety of our people.

Iffederalgovern­ ment doesn't clean up the forests, we should to do it for them. I think the courts would give some deference for that position," he said.

Buchal said he is concerned about other federal government poli­ cies that have an adverse affect on Oregonians. He said he worries that the government's handling of the economy and the debt problem will lead to disaster.

"I think we' re headed for a very serious crisis. When government starts print­ ing 40 percent of its money, the end is near," he said. ''When crunch time comes, everybody wakes up, and it will fall to the people at the bottom to straighten the mess out. State attorneys general can take a lead," he said.

Buchal is running against Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat appointed

by Gov. John Kitzhaber this year to replace John Kroger. Kroger gave up the AG'sjob tobecome presi­ dent of Reed College.

Rosenblum is a former prosecutor and trial and appellate court judge.

Buchal has criticized her for what he says is a lack of consistency in support of Ballot Measure 11, liberal views on evidence issues, and more. He charges that Rosenblum is failing to pro­ tect society's most vulnera­ ble members from physical and financial abuse, and undermining the efforts of state prosecutors.

"The governor appointed a judge who has made decisions that have a lot of prosecutors angry," he sard.

He said he thinks he' s got a good chance ofbeating Rosenblum in November.

"I feel pretty good about it. My opponent is so extreme and people are get­ ting more and more upset," he said.

He added that he thinks his party will do well in the state and national elec­ tions.

"I think this is a wa­ tershed election and the Democrats are in for some very nasty surprises," he

The gym was one of thou­ sands completed with Public Works Administration funds between 1933 and 1943.

The PWA spentmore than $6 billion on the construction of schools, dams, bridges and hospitals.

When was the Union County Airport built?

The airport was completed in 1942. First known as the La Grande Municipal Airport, it cost almost $500,000. Fund­ ing was provided by the federal government and the City of La Grande.

Mills said he has been in touch with the three victims.

He said they included a father and son, and a man believed to be in his early 20s. Mills said the truck did not run over any of the spectators but that its fi ont end merely "pushed them back."

"I think they just basically got hit by the front of the truck," he

Nur sin teamram in U

By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

Wallowa Memorial Hospi­ tal's nursing team is ramping up its staff due to an increase in patients. Two new relief nurses and a part-time nurse have been hired to answer the need.

Laurie Marcum, chief nursing offtcer, said the cur­ rent staff ha worked a lot of overtime to keep up with the summer's volume and she is looking forward to the additions.

"All of our new hires are highly experienced registered nurses," said Marcum.

She said besides helping with in-patients, Marcum said the increase in staff will help in assisting surgeries.

Marcum, who has been very involved with the Oregon Stroke Network, told the board of the Wallowa Valley Health Care District at their August meeting that she has been appointed to the Network's board of directors. She will be the only board member Rom a rural hospital.

Rural area input is also being acknowledged by Greater Oregon Behavioral Health Initiative. Dave Har­

man, Wallowa Valley Health Care District's chief, said the contractor who won the bid to run 12 Eastern Oregon counties' Coordinated Care Organization has a board of directors that will include one member to represent the area's three small hospitals in John Day, Heppner, and Enterprise.

The Coordinated Care Organization is the state ver­ sion of the national Affordable Care Act that was developed to better manage care and curtail costs of Medicaid.

The initiative will act as an owner of the organization

1fS SfB8 along with Oregon Dental Service and Eastern Oregon's larger hospitals, public health organizations, and physicians.

Each owner has to put up a percentage of the money needed to run the Coordinat­ ed CareOrganization.

Harman said the three rural hospitals have been talking with the larger part­ ners and are being allowed one member to represent them and none will have to bear the investment of owner­ ship or the risk.

Nov. 1 is the estimated roll­ out date for the 12 counties'

CCOs.

(AP l — The

industrial heart of Dallas sold this week for bargain basement prices to several buyers, including one who specializes in liquidating factories.

Weyerhaeuser Co.'s closed sawmill and seven other associated proper­ ties in Dallas totaling 154 acres sold for about $2.1 million at a Tuesday auc­ tion, said company spokes­ man Greg Miller.

For some Polk County residents, the auction seemed like the death

knell for a once vibrant part of the local economy.

The mill opened in 1906 as the flagship operation of Willamette Industries.

"I'm a&aid that part of the history of Dallas, and Polk County, is probably gone forever," said Polk County Commissioner Mike Ainsworth, who once worked at the mill. "It was what Dallas was all about."

"I can't imagine there would be a viable sawmill in the future," said Dallas Mayor Brian Dalton.

Her daughter noticed her one shoe was wearing funny and that she would swing her one arm more with walking. Pearl, m ay suffer from unequal leg lengths.

The most common symp­ tom associated with leg­ length asymmetry is back­ ache. The second most common symptom related to leg length inequality is pain in the hip, knee or leg.

Studies have shown that the longerleg may carry more weight, and is subject to abuse in activities such as walking or running. Chronic over use problems that per­ sist despite appropriate care :- are the hallmarks of the

possible presence of a leg­ length difference.

A level foundation reduces wedging of the discs in the back, sheer stress on the spinal joints and helps to normalize lower back mus­ cle balance.

Our office takes great pride in providing the best care available for those suf­ fering from leg length inequality. An office evalua­ tion will occur and addition­ al studies may be ordered.

We will work with your referring physician to achieve your pain-free sta­ tus and goals however refer­ ral is usually not necessary.

Class of 1949 holds 63-year reunion Eight classmates fiom the La Grande High School Class of 1949 held their 63­ year reunion recently.

One of the noted highlights for all was the lunch at Riverside Park, under the new pavilion. The (formerl pavilion was some 17 years older than any of these 49'ers, the park has provided many good times, not only when they were children frolicking in the park and the Grande Ronde River, but as the years have gone by it has always been a place for get-togethers, parties and reunions.

It's a landmark that many were very saddened to see and learn of its demise when it burned in February 2011. Much to their enjoyment, the pavilion had been rebuilt, much in the way it always looked, with some wel­ come upgrades. The stone fireplace has always been a focal point for Riverside, and it was a pleasure to see it still there, fianked by informational fi ame on the wall paying tribute to both the historical pavilion that

The class reunion photo was taken right in front of that fireplace.

Classmate Betty (See­ beck) Drummond said ev­ eryone in the group seemed very delighted with this more "relaxed" schedule for their reunion, allowing folks more time to visit and enjoy one another.

Pat (Wilsonl Young added that another highlight was at the Sunday morning breakfast when classmate and local Historical Society member George Neer provided a "visit to the past" with a video fi om 1938, showcasing the La Grande area sites, buildings and people, much of which are only memories now.

The video provoked fond thoughts and stories from their childhood and was a treat enjoyed by all.

Comfort food: Dangling from a ladder out in Cove in uly here will be pies in the dead of winter.

Cherries were added to my list of my comfort foods this summer.

The addition was thanks to Rainbow Orchard in Cove where I had rented an organic cherry tree from Jim and Donna. It was also thanks to the cherry scones I made, chocolate-dipped cherries my neighbor Beth made, and the fieezer full of cherries just waiting to add a cherry pie to an otherwise bleak winter day.

It was Beth, too, that got me to thinking about that phrase "comfort food." She and Dick ate at one of the few local restaurants I hadn' t tried, and I asked her what kind of food they served. 'You know, comfort food," she said, smiling, and I knew that would be a facsimile of the kind of food she grew up on in Tennessee.

I adopted Cove cherries just as I had New Mexico green chile many years ago.

When I moved to New Mexico in 1970, all I knew about chile was chili con carne, and it took awhile to understand the annual August/September fever that went through the state as everyone bought gunny sacks full of fresh green chile, mostly from Hatch or Las Cruces in the south, but some fromEspanola and Chimayo in the north.

(Incidentally, AP Style likes the spelling as "chili" but the entire state of New Mexico always uses "chile"to refer to the state pepper.)

Everywhere big round roasting cages turn over fiames to burn the skins off the meaty and hot chiles so one can eat plenty on a fresh tortilla before filling the freezerforthewinter.

So for 40 years, I ate green chile and beans and tortillas as often as any other meal and always associate it with the smell of it roasting, this harvest time of the year, and storing up for winter. Com­ fort food.

as they could across the prairie to make their homes in places like the Great Northwest.

I was reading about a comfort food to many of the American Indian tribes, camas root, which the Nez Perce and others smoldered over underground cinders and later in above-ground ovens to make a delicacy, one they could also make into bread.

The farther food travels, the more energy is used, and the more energy used, the greater the effect on the global environment. It's a noble commitment, but a difficult one in our mobile society.

Not all comfort food has to be exactly what Mom fixed.

Comfort foods, to qualify as such, should have a nostalgic element to an individual or a specific culture, but it's 2012, and we are free to start new traditions, even new cultures, and to develop nostalgia around something as recent as dangling from a ladder out in Cove in late July.

'New Mexico Chile' So after two years without New Mexico green chile, try­ ing to convince myself those Anaheim chiles were just as good, I was leaving the store one night last week when I saw the sign that said "New Mexico Chile."

I wanted some then and there but waited until the next day and went back to buy more than 20 pounds.

My hands were throbbing f'rom the peppery heat after processing so much of it, roasting it under the oven broiler a little at a time, steaming the chiles in a bag, and peeling and stemming and seeding the peppers.

Plenty has been eaten, but plenty sit in the freezer there beside the cherries waiting to help me get through those short, cold days ahead.

Like"money in thebank," as thephrase goes,butbetter since money in the bank can't buy me frozen organic Cove cherries or New Mexico green chile in winter.

I read "This Organic Life"

by Joan Dye Gussow not long ago, an interesting look at how a fanatic about eating ethically and healthily manages to do so in an age when we can get whatever we want wherever we want it.

She has as much to say about eating local food as she does about eating organic food free of pesticides and other chemicals.

She refuses to buy any­ thingbrought from afar that cannot be simulated locally.

She even settled on a specific number of miles food should be transported, some­

taste and food value. A carbohydrate in camas called inulin is difficult to digest, but after cooking for up to two days in a carefully tended pit oven, the inulin converts to fructose, which is more easily digested and tastes sweet."

Her scan ome remedies Jennifer Forker For The Associated Press

What if you could soothe a sore throat or a headache with the snip of a scissors? Plant some herbs indoors now, before fall sets in, and you could have a winter's worth of folksy remedies.

Many medicinal plants, especially herbs, grow well indoors, says Amy Jeanroy, who runs a greenhouse busi­ ness near her Ravenna, Neb., home, and writes and teaches about medicinal herbs. She recommends starting with these five:thyme,chamomile, mint, lemon balm and sage.

Each works well as a tea: Grow, cut and dry them for use throughout the year, or use fresh herbs. To brew a tea,add 1 teaspoon ofdried — or3 teaspoons of fiesh — herbs to 1 cup of boiled water; steep several minutes, then remove the herbs.

All five herbs aid digestion, says herbalist Christina Blume, who has taught medicinal and other herb­ related classes at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

"A lot of herbs that people already cook with are herbs that have medici­ nal qualities," adds Jeanroy. "It doesn' t necessarily mean it's kicking the fiu for you. It helps you."

Physician Andrew Weil maintains a list ofhealthful herbs and their uses at his website, DrWeil.corn.

Consult a doctor before trying to treat a health problem with herbs, Jeanroy says.

She treats her five children with herbs such as chamomile. "It helps with the crankiness the kids get when they' re feverish," she says.

Thyme, Jeanroy says, can soothe a throat sore from coughing, and Blume touts its anti-viral properties.

"I always drink thyme tea when I fiy," says Blume, "because you' re re-breath­ ing all that air that everyone's breath­ ing and (the teal tastes good."

Mint — especially peppermint — is a home remedy for an upset stomach.

And it can mask the strong or bitter tasteofsome other herbs,such assage, which can soothe mouth sores and bleeding gums after dental work, says Jeanroy.

Lemon balmcan be drunk as a tea to counter headaches, added to other medicinal teas to mask an unpleasant taste, or steeped stronger to make a topical, antiseptic cleanser for a skinned knee or itchy bug bite, she says.

"If there's one herb that does tons of great stuff lemon balm is it," says Jeanroy.

Medicinal gardens are centuries old; modern ones date back to the apoth­ ecary gardens of the Italian Renais­ sance during the 16th century, says Teresa Mazikowski, a staff gardener who spearheaded the Buffalo and Erie County (N.Y.l Botanical Gardens' in­ door medicinal garden last October.

Botanical gardens grew out of these early medicinal gardens.

The indoor medicinal garden that Mazikowski tends goes beyond com­ mon herbs. It was planted with public education in mind, she says, and in­ cludes rare and tropical plants, as well.

"The idea is to teach people how to keep themselves healthy so they don' t have to take drugs" when they' re sick, Mazikowski says.

The DYouville College School of Pharmacy, and Mercy Hospital, both in Buffalo, collaborated with the city' s Botanical Gardens to launch the me­ dicinal garden with plants that show promise in pharmaceutical research, Mazikowski says, including turmeric, SeeHerbslPage 2B

Droughtem yectedto causeyrice hike

By Andrea Weigl MCT

The Midwestern drought making headlines now will eventually hit consumers in the supermarket checkout line.

Those parched fields of corn, wheat and soybeans mean that anything made using them will be more expensive. That includes bread,cereal,pasta,beverages and the many items sweetened with corn syrup. Since corn, wheat and soybeans are used to feed cows, pigs and chickens, meat, poultry and dairy products also will cost more.

"Prices will be higher for many items in the grocery store," says Michael Walden, an economics professor at North Carolina State University.

We won't see those price increases until next year; that's when the results of the drought will be felt in the supply chain, econo­ mists predict. At first, meat prices should drop as farmers reduce their herds and fiocks to what they can afford to feed.

After that, however, we could see a 5 to 10 percent increase in meat prices, says N.C. State economist Michael J. Roberts. Last month,the average priceofa pound ofground beef was $3.45, according to federal statistics.

That means a potential increase of 35 cents a pound.

Overall, food pricesare expected toincrease up to 4 percent. Week after week, those small increases will add up, stretching recession­ weary household budgets. Changing shop­ ping, cooking and eating habits now will help home cooks overcome these higher costs in the future.

Here's a refresher on the classictipsfor saving money in the kitchen: • Track your spending at the grocery store.

You need to know your starting point to see savingsornoticeincreases.

• Go to the grocery store with a plan: a week's worth of meals and a shopping list.

• Don't let leftovers go to waste. Eat them for lunch, or turn them into another meal.

• Join the Meatless Monday movement (meatlessmondaycoml and give up meat one day a week.

• Buy fruits and vegetables in season when they are at their lowest prices.

• Look to Italian or Mexican cookbooks for recipes made with humble ingredients.

We also sought advice fiom three experts: Food Network personality and fi ugal mother of four Melissa d'Arabian, the star of'Ten Dollar Dinners"; cookbook author Helen Chen, an expert on Chinese cooking, a cuisine known for stretching small amounts of meat to feed many; and Phil Lempert, a retail ana­ lyst known as "The Supermarket Guru."

Melissa d'Arabian: Do not waste food. 'The most expensive ingredient in your house is the one you throw away," d'Arabian says. That's what prompted her to develop the recipe forCrisperDrawer Pasta to use up vegetables that were likely to be pitched.

Use what you have. Before you go shop­ ping, see what ingredients are in your pantry and fieezer. Use them to plan upcoming meals.

Know a good price when you see it. Keep track of what you pay for the five to 10 items you always buy, such as milk, eggs or boneless chicken breasts. When you see a good price, especially on meat, stock up and freeze some.

Do bean night. This is d'Arabian's tradition of serving proteins other than meat one night a week, such as black beans, lentils or eggs.

Helen Chen:

A fish sandwich, with fruit and slaw, is a quick fix. whole wheat pasta. You will feel fuller and eat less.

Make your own pasta sauce. Lempert uses a can of Hunt's crushed tomatoes, olive oil and spices.

"For$2,Ihavea fresherpasta sauce than one that is going to cost me$5 or $7 with sugar as the second ingredient," he says.

Censible Saver's top five tips Amy Dunn, our frugalshopper extraordi­ naire, shares her top five ways to save money at the grocery store: 1. Keep track of grocery sales cycles and stock up when the prices are lowest — typi­ cally every four to six weeks. Instead ofbuy­ ing one jar of peanut butter or one package of chicken breasts, for example, purchase enough to last your family until the next time that item is heavily discounted.

2. Don't be a&aid to use store-brand products. For items that don't regularly have coupons, try the store brand or try shopping at a no-frills store such as Aldi, where nearly every product is a house brand. What have you got to lose? Absolutely nothing. If you don't like it, most stores will refund your money, and many will replace it with the name brand free of charge.

3. Plan your meals around the food you alreadyhave stocked in yourpantry and fieezer.

Then add thefew remaining ingredi­ ents to your shopping list. If you have chicken and ground beef in the fieezer, for example, plan to cook with those two proteins and hold off on a pork, lamb or seafood dish until the next sale.

4. Avoid food waste. Turn your leftover roast chicken and veggies into a soup. Make muffms or bread with zucchini or bananas that are past their prime. Not sure what to do with a half container of sour cream, a couple of carrots and a lone chicken breast?

Look for inspiration on online recipe sites that allow you to search by ingredients. Try FireHouseChef corn or RecipeLand.corn. Also, turn last night's meal into tomorrow's lunch.

Don't want to eat the same thing several days in a row? Freeze individual portions for later.

5. Know your store coupon policy and use it to your advantage. For instance, a 75-cent coupon is worth $1.50 off at Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods. At Kroger and Food Lion, that same coupon is worth just 75 cents. Also, did you know most stores allow you to use two coupons with a BOGO sale?

Let meat be an ingredient, not the main in­ gredient. In Chinese cooking, a 3- or 4-ounce pieceofmeat, about the size ofa deck ofcards, is combined with vegetables to feed four to six people. In comparison, American recipes often call for a half pound of meat per person.

Stir-fiying makes the most of a smaller amount of meat. Chen says quickly cooking small pieces of meat over high heat keeps the meat tasty and adds fiavor to the dish. A trick to keep the meat juicy is to use a marinade with cornstarch dissolved in it. The corn­ starch coats the meat and seals in juices.

Make more vegetable dishes. Chen explains that the Chinese traditionally have multi­ course meals where a clear soup and a dish with meat are paired with many vegetable or HARD VEGETABLES tofu dishes.

Beets, chopped Broccoli, cut into small fiorets Phil Lempert: Carrots, chopped Buy frozen seafood instead of"previously Caulifiower, cut into small fiorets frozen" offerings. Frozen seafood costs about Celery, chopped 40 percent less.

CRISPER DRAWER PASTA You can use any vegetables you have in the house by fol­ lowing the guidelines in the fact box and the instructions in

the recipe.

From "Ten Dollar Dinners: 140 Recipes andTips to Elevate Simple, Fresh Meals Any Night oftheWeek," by Melissa d'Arabian (Clarkson Potter, 201 2).

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small red or yellow onion, finely chopped

Pacific yew, cayenne pepper and ginseng.

Her own indoor garden includes oregano, mint, parsley, sage, lemon balm, lemon verbena, catmint and chives.

Start with a small indoor garden, Mazikowski sug­ gests, and know that the plants aren't likely to last longer than 18 months.

Use a large, clean pot filled with sterile potting soil. Sow seeds or use small starter plants, which often are inexpensive this time

of year.

Unless you have a spot that gets six hours or more of sunlight, you' ll need to invest in grow lights, says Jeanroy. Buy inexpensive, full-spectrum light bulbs, sold at home improvement stores, which you can pop into a table or floor lamp.

Your plants will need 14 to 16 hours of this artificial light daily.

Plants grow best if the daytime indoor tempera­ ture is between 70 and 75 degrees, Jeanroy says, and the nighttime temperature about 10 degrees cooler.

Make sure there's a drainage hole in the pot,

and don't over-water. Soggy soil can lead to mildew, mold and pest problems.

Take care ofyour indoor herb garden, and it' ll return the favor. "I don' t know if it stems from surrounding myself with plants or spending so much time with them, but the whole process — you' re pinching back herbs that smell good and heating the water (for tea) — I think that's part of the healing," says Jeanroy.

Lobe is all we need.

Colo. (AP1 — A wandering deer found himself in hot water afterstepping on a poolcover and making a big splash in the backyard of a Colorado home.

Homeowner Scott Smith says he found the buck in his ground-level pool Sunday morning trying to wrestle his way out of the pool cover. Smith says he had no idea when the deer wandered onto the patio in the backyard ofhis Colorado Springs home.

KOAA-TV reports that firefighters built a ramp to help the animal out. Photos show the buck was coaxed out of the pool with rope to guide his way up the ramp.

The deer ran off as soon as he got out of the water, some four hours after he was discov­ ered in the pool.

The Democrat & Chronicle of Rochester reports Sunday that workers found the kitten curled in a tiny alcove above the gas tank. They named the cat Connecticut.

At one time, there were so many requests, the shelter set up a media day to handle them all.

County shelter workers have a couple of theories to explain how Ni Hao survived, Reyes said. They think he ate or drank something just before wandering into the container, he said, or "he is so young his resilience is off the charts."

AT A GLANCE

3ones-Drew ends holdout JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Maurice Jones-Drew remains as passionate as ever about his value.

So when the Jacksonville Jaguars running back ended his 38-day holdout Sunday — without a new contract — he

had no apologies, no regrets and no concerns about his standing with the

franchise.

"I'm in a good place," he said. "I did something I felt was right, and I'm always going to feel right.

I'm not going to feel wrong for what I did it at all. And that' s

why I can come back and not have a nega­ tive attitude. I think

if you regret things, you' re going to come back salty, be a distraction, things like that."

Jones-Drew ar­ rived at the team

facility Sunday morning, chatted with teammates and then had a 40-minute conversation with

coach Mike Mularkey.

By Casey Kellas The Observer

The La Grande High School football team kicked off a new era under Kenny Mace Friday night against Nyssa.

But in a battle against one of the state's toughest 3A schools, the Tigers fell 58-14.

"Coming into this thing, switching what we did with the offense, you have a lot of kinks to work out," Mace "But it's nothing that can' t be fixed."

The Tigers employed a two-quarterback attack throughout the game, switching between Tyson Wicldander and Brandon Dali.

And while both quarter­ backs showed fiashes of po­ tential, the offense sputtered for the majority of the game.

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, had no trouble mov­ ing the ball downfield.

Nyssa jumped out to an 18-0 lead in the first quarter and stretched it to 26-0 be­ fore the Tigers finally found paydirt with 4:57 left in the first half.

After Wicldander broke off a 61-yard run down to the one-yard line, he punched it in on a quarterback keeper on fourth and goal.

But the Bulldogs lead was never in doubt, as Nyssa scoredtwice more before the half to lead 42-6.

"They' re a darn good football team," Mace said of Nyssa.

"I have so much respect for their coach (Lee Long).

He's been there so long, and when you' re there that long you can build programs like that."

Nyssa slowed the attack in the second halfbut ex­ tended the lead to 58-6.

LHS was able to put together a scoring drive late in the game, when Wick­ lander connected with Jobin Reed for the Tigers' second touchdown with 2:53 left to round out the scoring.

For the game Nyssa went a total of 361 yards on the ground and 161 yards through the air. La Grande went a total of 95 yards on the ground and 106 yards through the air.

Michael Smith carried 18 for 234 yards with two touchdowns. Austin Wag­ staffhad five for 41 yards with two touchdowns.

And while LHS managed just 14 points, Mace said he liked what he saw from his two quarterbacks and plans to stick with it.

"Those two guys worked their butts off Dali showed some great things, and Tyson showed some great things," Mace said.

"They' re both leaders on this team. We' re going to look at the film and decide what's best for the team.

The sophomore ran in a three-yard score at the 13:27 mark of the fourth quarter, and then a 21-yard score three minutes later. The second drive featured seven plays that covered 90 yards in just 2:04.

With 4:38 remaining, Simonis found Sean Hurlbut for a 10-yard touchdown con­ nection.

Four minutes later, after the Mountaineer defense came up with another key stop, Simonis passed to an open Starr in the corner of the endzone for the final score.

"I told them all day just get me a corner route," Starr said.

"I told Jason that I was going to win that route, the safety bit, and I was wide

The EOU defense forced five turnovers, three intercep­ tions and two fumbles.

"I'm just so happy we got this win tonight," Eastern head coach Kaki Morehead said. "Not only to win a five-set match, but to beat such a quality team like Northwest means a lot. Northwest is a tough team no doubt about it."

Eastern Oregon was led by Stefani Sorensen's 17 kills. Kaitlyn Duncan had a match-high 43 digs.

Jessica Perron had a match-high 25 assists, and Bobbi Sumpter added 20 assists. Casey Loper and Alisha Crane combined for 24 kills, while Rebecca Haight totaled 11 kills and 20 digs.

The first set featured seven ties early on. The turning point came with the score knotted at 13-13.

Four straight attack errors by EOU would lead to a 17-13 Northwest lead. Irene Walters would stop the run with her kill. However, four straight kills by NU, and a service error by EOU would end the set, 25-19 for the Eagles.

EOU would lead the entire sec­ ond set with the exception of one tie.

Late in the set another EOU mis­ cue, a kill by Sarah Stoker, and a service ace by Olivia VanDlac would make it a 22-20 score, but kills by Loper, and Haight would win the set for the Mountaineers.

Seven ties in the third set would keep it close until the teams were

tied at 20-20. Eastern took a two­ point lead, 22-20, on a kill by Haight and an attack error by Northwest.

After a Crane kill, Lauryn Ernster would make it 24-22 with her kills, but EOU would come away with the set victory on an attack error by the Eagles.

VanDlac helped give NU a 10-8 lead in the fourth set with two service aces. Northwest maintained the lead the remainder of the set, growing the lead to 20-13 after Arika Zwack's kill. Sorenson closed the lead to 22-17 with a pair of kills.

Kills by Haight and Crane would make it a two point lead for NU, 22-20. But, the Eagles hung on and forced an extra set.

The fifth and final set was close through its entirety, and following a 10-all tie, Eastern moved into a 12-10 lead on a Taylor Stewart kill and service ace. Zwack pulled the Eagles within one point with a kill, 13-12, but following a Van Dlac kill, Stefani Sorensen closed the match with a kill.

fifth.

Weaver said it clipped his glove prior to hitting his arm and looked worse than it feels.

"It didn't really square me up too bad," Weaver said.

Weaver threw a couple practice pitches and re­ mained in the game.

"This is something that' s going to get sorer as time goes on," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "I'm sure it's going to stiffen up tonight, and we' ll see how it sets up tomorrow."

Mariners left fielder Trayvon Robinson went into the stands to catch Maicer Izturis' fiy ball in the fifth inning.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (APl­

Boise State (0-1l was sluggish in its first game after losing standouts Kellen Moore and Doug Martin from last season's explosive offense.

The Broncos' only touchdown came on Jeremy Ioane's 43-yard intercep­ tion return in the second quarter. aWe wanted to come out and play fast and physical and I think we did that," Michigan State linebacker Max Bullough said.

"I think that it was a good game to start with and I think we proved ourselves."

Bell became Michigan State' s undisputed top running back when Edwin Baker left to enter the NFL draftafterlastseason.

His 44 carries Friday more than doubled his previous career high of 20, and he also set career marks with six receptions for 55 yards.

"A number of times he made something out of nothing," Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said.

'You can't underestimate — 44 touches, and not fumbling the ball, and not coming close to fumbling it.

"He had some huge plays out there."

The Spartans outgained Boise

LeVeon Bell spent the last couple seasons splitting carries in the Michigan State backfield.

Now he's unquestionably the team's top running threat — and, boy, has that changed his workload.

Bell ran fora career-high 210 yards on 44 carries Friday night, helping No. 13 Michigan State out­ last No. 24 Boise State 17-13.

The junior's second touchdown of the night — a 5-yard run with 8:12 remaining — helped the Spartans avoid an upset on a night Bell out­ gained the Broncos all by himself.

'The offensive line in the huddle, they were ready to run the ball," Bell said.

'That is something the linemen love doing, that's something I love doing, of course. We just want to get overthe hump and keep moving forward."

After Bell's touchdown put the Spartans ahead, the Broncos drove to the Michigan State 42, but Joe Southwick's pass on fourth-and-2 was broken up.

The Spartans (1-Ol then ran off the final 6:32.

State 461 yards to 206 but turned the ball over four times.

The Broncos had won six straight against BCS-conference teams. aWe've got to do better in the red zone and we' ve got to be able to run the ball better," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said.

"If we do those two things, we' ll be OK on offense.n Michigan State leaned on Bell, especially after new starting quar­ terback Andrew Maxwell threw three first-half interceptions. Max­ well finished 22 of 38 for 248 yards.

Southwick, replacing Moore at quarterback, went 15 of 31 for 169 yards with an interception.

Bell started Michigan State's go­ ahead drive with a 7-yard run and

latercaught a passfor11yards.

He even blocked a pass rusher to allow Maxwell to find Dion Sims for an 18-yard pass on third down that put the ball at the Boise State 7.

Two plays later, the Spartans had the lead.

On fourth-and-2 in Michigan State territory, Boise State's D.J. Harper appeared to have an easy first down on a pitchout, but of­ ficials blew the play dead for a Michigan State timeout.

Southwick then attempted a pass that was defended well by Dar­ queze Dennard.

Boise State looked overmatched at the start. After a quick three­ and-out, the Broncos punted and let Michigan State drive 60 yards in 12 plays for a 7-0 lead on Bell's 1-yard touchdown run.

The Spartans never really took control, though. Maxwell completed his first four passes, but his slant attempt was dropped by Tony Lip­ pett right into the arms of Boise State's Jamar Taylor.

The interception led to a field goal, which the Spartans answered when Dan Conroy made a 50-yard­

er to give Michigan State a 10-3 lead.

In the second quarter, the Bron­ cos went to a couple of their tricks — a fie a-fi ickerfor23 yardsand then a wide receiver pass that fell incomplete.

They drove to the Michigan State 9-yard line, but Southwick's third­ down pass was defiected by Isaiah Lewis and intercepted by fellow defensive back RJ Williamson, who was on his back in the end zone.

The Spartans quickly returned the favor when Maxwell's screen pass bounced off intended receiver Larry Caper right to Ioane, who returned the interception for a touchdown.

Boise State took the lead on Michael Frisina's 19-yard field goal, and the teams traded two more turnovers in the last two minutes of the half — a muffed lateral by the Broncos and another intercep­ tion by Maxwell deep in Boise State territory.

In the third quarter, the Spartans missed a field goal, lost a fumble and lost 10 yards on a failed reverse on the last play of the period.

He once shot a 57 on his home course at Mossel Bay in South Africa, a number he wears on the left sleeve of his shirt.

For about two hours Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship, that' s how it felt.

Oosthuizen ran off seven straight birdies, a streak that began after he nearly three-putted from 5 feet. He shot 29 on the front nine of the TPC Boston. He didn' t miss a green until the 17th hole. That's all it took to race by PGA champion Rory McIlroy, leave Tiger Woods behind and seize control going into the Labor Day finish.

Oosthuizen had an 8-under 63, establishing tournament records for con­ secutive birdies, low front nine and a 54-hole score of 19-under 194.

"Probably the start any­ one would dream of on that front nine," Oosthuizen said.

"I made everything, so you get those days where you just look at a putt and you hole it. That was my first nine holes."

The back nine wasn't bad, and it included one brief scare when he felt a twinge in his back when he went after a 9-iron on the 16th.

The ache was gone on the 18th, and he rolled in one last birdie to keep McIlroy from getting even closer.

McIlroy, trying to match Woods with his third PGA Tour win this year, did well just to stay in range.

'You think going out with a one-shot lead and shoot­ ing 67 that you ... might still be in the lead going into the last day,n McIlroy said.

"But Louis put on a display out there for a few holes, reeling off seven birdies in a row. It was great to watch.

Louis is the sort of player that can do that. He's very explosive and he didn't re­ ally put a foot wrong today.

Very happy that I'm still in touching distance going into tomorrow."

Combine one of the sweetest swings in golf with a putting stroke that was just as pure, and that's what Oosthuizen is capable of do­ ing. Remember, he won the British Open at St. Andrews in 2010 by seven shots.

Woods again didn' t make as many putts as he thought he could, and

even a short birdie on the 16th left him nervous until it curled in. He still man­ aged a 68 and was six shots behind, along with Dustin Johnson, who kept alive his hopes of being picked for the Ryder Cup with a 65.

Oosthuizen's birdie streak featured four putts of at least 20 feet, including a 40-footer at No. 8. It reached a point that on a 20-foot birdie on the 11th for his eighth in a row, he was shocked when it didn't fall.

"Every putt had perfect speed," said Oosthuizen, who made four putts of at least 20 feet during his streak of birdies. "I told Rory, 'Sorry, but you' ve got to take it when you can."'

The exchange they had on the 11th hole indicated what kind of performance this was.

Oosthuizen covered the fiag on one of the toughest par 3s at the TPC Boston, though the ball settled 20 feet behind the cup and he narrowly missed. McIlroy followed with a beautiful swing ofhis own, a towering shot that drew gently and stopped 6 feet behind the cup for birdie.

McIlroy waited at the back of the green for Oost­ huizen to tap in for par, held out his arm and clinched his fist and said to him, "I' ve got the honors." They laughed, exchanged ahigh-five and McIlroy told him as they headed to the 12th tee, "I feel like I' ve got a chance."

Woods was never in the picture, though he is not out of the hunt.

He got off to a slow start, not picking up a birdie until the fifth hole, but came on late with back-to-back bird­ ies to stay m the game. He' ll play the final round with Johnson, who twice made bogey with a 9-iron in hand and still had eight birdies on the day.

Keegan Bradley, who made the cut on the num­ ber, also had a 63 and while he won't be a factorat13 shots behind, Bradley and Oosthuizen showed that it can be done. Six years ago, Woods shot 63 in the final round to beat Vijay Singh.

"I'm going to have to put together one of those rounds," Woods said. "It won't surprise me if some­ body shoots 8- or 9-under par tomorrow because of where the pin locations are.

Somebody is going to go out there and do it. It may be early, it may be late, who knows? But hopefully, I'm one of those guys."
