UNION COUNTY DOWNTOWN LA GRANDE

• Union County lags behind neighboring counties in transient room taxdollars For The Observer

Bouncing back

If transient room taxes are a primary indicator of the health of a regional tourism industry, Union County appears to be an underachiever — though things might be looking up. According to figures from the Oregon Department of Revenue, annual lodging tax receipts increased in Baker, Grant, Umatilla and Wallowa counties during the seven-year period 2004-2011, but in Union County they decreased. What's more, Union County is one of only three counties statewide to show SeeTRT / Page5A

Wallowa, Umatilla, Baker, Grant and Union counties all had decreases in lodging receipts either in 2008 or 2009, or both years. But from 2009 to 2010, all the Northeast Oregon countiesexcept Union — trended upward.

Was there controversy over a monument

proposal in the 1980s? Yes. A large $14 million patriotic monument was once set to be built on a hillside near Hilgard State Park, 10 miles west of La Grande. The monument was to have been built in the late1980s on a 210-acre site from 67,460 man-made stones. Each of the stones would have weighedmore than 700 pounds.On average 2,000 stones would have been used to form 36 individual letters spelling out: "The United States of America — In God We Trust." The monument would have covered 6-V2 acres, according to storiesin 1985 editions of The Observer. The project would have been fi nanced by the sale of stones for the monument.

For many, retirementis a time for well-earned relaxation, self-indulgentpursuits and entertainment. However, forreti red English teacher Evelyn Spikes, Elgin's 2014 Woman of the Year, retirement offers her additional ways to volunteer, something she recommends to all retjrees. Spikes has always had a volunteer spirit, becoming the first woman editor selected for the Oregon State University newspaper, The Daily Barometer. Bmg her 26-year career as a teacher in Elgin, she also worked with the kids in after-school activities. "Evelyn has been a great volunteer for Elgin," said Joe Garlitz, a longtime city administrator and volunteer. "Her many years with the school and her extracurricular activities with our children have been an invaluable gik to our young people." When she retired from teaching in 2002, however, she was really looking forward to a change of pace, immersing herself in her longtime passion of photography and with her new hobby of card making. She enjoyed displaying her work on the social media website Facebook and giving photos away as gifts. She admits her retirement volunteer work wasn't exactly planned, but rather theresultofserendipitous circumstances where her life intersected with those having a need, and she stepped up to the plate to help.

ENTERPRISE — In light of overwhelming response, Wallowa County Commissioner Paul Castilleja said he is rethinking the two dog per household limit considered under aproposalto reinstate a countywide animal control program. Castilleja said the limit was meant to only include households within the city limits of Wallowa, Lostine, Enterprise and Joseph. "Ranchers can have as many dogs as they can because they need working

Retired English teacher Evelyn Spikes of Elgin volunteers her time as a photojournalist, recording historic enhancements to Elgin like the newest marquee on the opera house lawn. Spikeswas honored as 2014Woman oftheYear in large part for her grant writing, which won the opera house $250,000 toward its restoration. "It would have been so easy to stay home and work on my hobbies, photography and card making," Spikes said."I could stay home all day and work on those things. I love it so much, but retirement made me thinkthere are so many organizations out there that a person could belong to and help." It took her a while to decide where she could make a diff erence,butby 2009, Spikes branched outside her hobbies to volunteer on the city's planning commission, and she did that for a year. Thenin the springof 2010, she attended a public meeting oftheboardofduectorsforthe Elgin Economic Development and Growth Endeavor organization, the nonprofit that servesastheumbrellaorganizationforthefundsraisedfor the restoration of the historic Elgin Opera House. The group convened but didn't have anyone to take notes since they had a vacancyin thesecretary'schair at the time. Spikes spoke up and said she would take notes,

and by the end of the meeting, she was voted in as the new secretary for Elgin EDGE. It mayhave been a'What just happened?" moment, but Spikes accepted it and offered her skills to the organizationand thecapital committeefor therestoration of the opera house, led by then-Mayor John Stover. She was spurred on by the examples of Stover and Garlitz, both strong role models for volunteerism. With role models like this, Spikes was encouraged to try her hand at writing grant applications. She had a minor in journalism from Oregon State University, so she was a good candidate for the job. Still, she had never attempted grant writing like this before, let alone one

With one final report due in May, Spikes looks back at thesometimes stressfulprocess and feelsitwas definitely manageable.

WALLOWA COUNTY

Frolandertakes ondeguty QAsgot By Katy Nesbitt ENTERPRISE — Becky Frolander, a 2013 Willamette University law graduate, joined the Wallowa County District Attorney staf April 9 as its deputy district attorney. Frolander graduated from Enterprise High School and Pacific University before working in law offices. That real world experience planted the seed to take up law as a profession. The advantage of six years experience working with Mona Williams in both private practice and with her in the district attorney's office gave Frolander an unusual perspective in law school. "I was the girl in class that would raise my hand and say, That won't work because in the real world that can't happen,"' Frolander said. Despite law school's theoretical approach, Williams said it teaches students how to research, write and read cases. "Those are skills used in the realworld,"she said. Frolander spent two summers in the DA's office as an intern after her first summer oflaw schooland asa certi•

fied law clerk after the second year. Williams said she looks forFrolander ward to working with Frolander. "I know what to expect," Williams said."I know how quickly she learns and I know what her capabilities are." Frolander replaces Greg Baxter, who was hired as a deputy district attorney in Union County. Williams said there will be a break-in period where Frolander will assist her with arraignments and eventually she will take over most of the misdemeanor cases. Of the issues facing Wallowa County, Williams said her offi ceseesa lotofcases involving young people and prescription drugs. There is also a recurring problem with methamphetamines. She said there was a decrease in meth use after the Oregon Legislature took over-the-counter drugs used to make meth off the shelves, reducing the number of local "cooks." Now meth is being imported into the county as is heroin and cocaine.

We live in a modern, high-tech society that seems faster all the time. Yet, our link to all the iPads and computers and even cellphones depends upon one thing — power. When the power goes out a seemingly modern, 21st century culture is transported — literally in moments — into the 19th century. A recent story in this newspaper by sta6'writer Pat Caldwell regarding fears regarding the vulnerability of the power grid outlined the action by a group of U.S. senators and federal agencies to try to address what is often an under-the-radar kind of potential risk. The action by the senators — including Democratic Oregon U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden — stemmed in large part fi om a mysterious and still unsolved attack on a major power substation in California in 2013. The attack was carried out with military precision and knocked out more than 10 expensive and crucial power transformers that supplied electricity to the Silicon Valley. The attack — which slid under the collective consciousness of America — sent o6'warning bells among some government leaders because it highlighted what a worst-case scenario could look like. Those doubts about the safety of the nation's powergrid,whilenotnew,sparked Wyden, along with three other senators, to ask the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to investigate. In February, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which controls the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil, in turn directed the North American Electric Reliability Corp. to develop reliability standards that required owners and operators of the nation's bulk-power system to address possible physical threats to the grid. The North American Electric Reliability Corp. or NERC, fashioned a set of proposed reliability standards and now has 90 days to streamline the proposals. The move by the senators — and specifically Wyden — was a sound one. While it didn't get a lot of attention, it should have. Power is one of those elements to modern society we all take for granted. Until it goes out. Ensuring that the vast American power grid is not only safe but protected is prudent. Clearly there is only so much any one organization — or, for the matter, the government — can do to ensure the grid is secure. After all, the grid stretches across the entire continent, fiom coasttocoast.Authoritiescan'tbe everywhere all the time. Still, reviewing the grid, and the possible impacts fiom an attack such as the one in California, makes a whole lot of sense. For a change, the machinery moved rapidly in this case and that should be lauded as well. Electricity is easy to overlook and take for granted. But if the lights go out for a long period of time, the potential cost far outweighs the risk of ignorance.

Your views Patton: Barreto demonstrates much-needed commonsense To the Editor: Election year rolls around more and more quickly for this senior citizen. Historically, a high percentage of seniors vote, which is why candidates actively courtseniorcitizens. Elections are important and have consequences. Many seniors live with the reality that these golden years require a lot of gold to survive. I'm concerned that too many laws have been passed that sounded good but have later cropped up with unintended consequences, hurting ordinary citizens. This May, we have the opportunity to vote for someone who has demonstrated he has much needed common sense. Additionally, he has earned a lifetime reputation of honesty, loyalty, even humility; his integrity is unquestioned. Greg Barreto is running to be Northeastern Oregon's representative in Salem. A proven leader, Greg has used his common sense decision making to build a successful business. A business that began with solving a problem 30 years ago and has grown into an international company that employs 83 people in La Grande. I believe that we need this kind of man representing us in Salem. Someone who uses common sense to think through legislation and uncover those unintended consequences, protecting us. Someone who has character we can trust. This senior citizen is proud to be supportingGreg Barreto. Roroena Patton Enterprise

To the Editor: The"Answer Man" article in the Observer on March 14 talked about the old LHS stadium. This stadium was shared by the high school and Eastern Oregon University football teams. The"Answer Man" statedthatthebleacherswerecovered. About six decades ago, EOU builtits own football field and part of that stadium was covered. Itwasreplaced in 1984with a really nice new modern covered stadium. I was compelled to mention what was left out of that article. The powers that be atthe college decided toremove the really nice stadium cover so a new press box could be erected. So now we are left with a very expensivepressbox fora few privileged people. The other 2,000 orm ore spectators are now left to the mercy of the weather, be it rain or snow or the blazing heat, for Eastern Oregon University graduation exercises or other community functions. What is wrong with this picture? The answer is, there was no common sense used in this circumstance. Dick McCtettan La Grande

The organizers of the project tried to start the monument project in Douglas and then Deschutes County but were unable to get the land use permits needed. They were, however,ableto getthe land use permit needed to build the monument in Union County, according to 1985 Observer articles. The monument project, in the end, never got off the ground.

The visit, called a pre-deployment site survey, will last two to three weeks. Two hundred soldiers, roughly half of the 1-82 Cavalry Squadron, will deploy to Afghanistan to provide airfield security and defendthe Shindand AirBase,where the American-led coalition is training the AlghanAir Force. The former Soviet base covers 9.26 square miles in western Afghanistan, near the Iranian border. The NATO air training command in Shindand includes troops from El Salvador, Hungary and Italy, according to a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force.

That year, Oregon sent more than 3,000

soldiers to Iraq. The Oregon Guard is preparing for the deployment amid uncertainty about how long troops will stay. NATO troopsare preparing to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of the year, unless the country's leaders sign an agreement with the U.S. to keep international forces in the country. President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign the Status of Forces Agreement and althoughAfghans voted for anew president on April 5, the country has notyetreported the election results.

PILOT ROCK — Tara Fox didn't give the idea of organ donation much thought until about six years ago. These days, however, the 21-year-old Athena woman speaks frankly to teens about the idea of organ donation and doesn't hide her emotions as she tells her personal story. At age 15, Fox rode horses on her family's wheat farm, played school sports and competed in snowboarding at the national level. She rarely saw a doctor and avoided even aspirin. Then one day, she fell ill. "I felt like I had the flu," she recalls. She powered through softball practice that day, then fell into bed. The next morning, she stayed there. Along with flu-like symptoms, her forearms, hands and feet began to swell. When she tried to walk,"it felt like I was walking on marbles."

Aftertesting,doctorsdiagnosed her with an autoimmune disease that was attacking her kidneys. The following months brought rounds of immunosuppressant drugs and steroids. She went into remission for a while, but then her kidney function crashed again, now working at 25 percent and declining. At 20 percent, she will likely go on the organ transplant list. This week, Fox and Aimee Adelmann of Donate Life Northwest broached the idea of organ donation to Pilot Rock High School students. Adelmann, 29, is a veteran of two kidney transplants. Her body rejected the first, donated by her father. The Donate Life Northwest representative came armed with factoids. "Every 10 minutes, someone is added to the wait list," said the Portlander. "Eighteen people die every day wait-

In the case of organs, demand far exceeds supply. Fox pressed a couple of keys on her laptop and a bar graph glowedfrom the screen:a tallbar represented 130,000 people needing transplants and a stubby bar showed about 14,000 donors i6,000 living and 8,000 who were deceased). Fox flipped to another slide. This one illustrated how many Oregonians are waiting for organs. Currently, 226 women and 483 men need kidneys. Ninety-nine men and 34 women await livers. Twentyseven men and four women need hearts. Oddly, while men outnumber women,"we know males are a lot less likely to become donors," said Adelmann. One donor can save up to eight lives. Harvesting ofbone, tendons, ligaments, veins, corneas, skin and other body parts can enhance the lives of up to 50

Damascus residents ready to exit ci The Associated Press

DAMASCUS — Frustratedresidents are wa sting no time in their effort to de-annex from the Portland suburb of Damascus. The Oregonian reported that House Bill 4029, which passed in March, allows any property on the boundary and within a half-mile from another city to leave Dam ascus. At least17people have taken the first step, the newspaper reported. It's quite the turnaround from 2004, when Damascus — 20 miles southeast of Portland — became one of Oregon's newest cities. Residents hoped to control their own destiny amid urban expansion. Instead,

the city has been divided over planning issues while political infighting has led to arevolving doorofcity managers. Hank Brown was the first person to file an application to leave Damascus. The property owned by him and his wife, Valerie, is fenced in all sides, creating the literal dividing line between Damascus and Happy Valley. Hank Brown was excited when Damascus incorporated a decade ago. He didn't want to be part of Happy Valley and was suspicious of the city'splansfordevelopment. He attendedalotofthe initial meetings and asked tojoin atransportation plan-

ning effort. He backed away, however, when the discord began and things have only gotten worse. Happy Valley is growing quickly and headed for Brown's doorstep. He can't do anything to prepare because Damascus has no rules governing what you can and can't do with your land. Meanwhile, he and a few neighbors had to take it upon themselves to fix potholes in the road. eWe arethe poster child for dysfunction," Brown said

of Damascus. After a citizen-led disincorporation effort failed last fall, Brown met with Jim Syring, a neighbor and deannexation advocate. They threw their support behind the House bill sponsored by Rep. Shemia Fagan, D-Clackamas, and Rep. Bill Kennemer, R-Oregon City, both of whom represent portions of Damascus. Brown, who testified beforethe Legislature,said he was surprised the bill became law so quickly.

Pistons let Dumars walk AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Joe Dumars tried to push the Detroit Pistons back toward the playoffs with a couple of big moves last offseason. That didn't work, and now the Pistons will be hiring someone else to replace him. Detroit has decided not to renew Dumars' contract as president of basketball operations, a person familiar with the situation said Sunday. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not made any announcement on Dumars' future, says Dumars will remain with the Pistons as an adviser. Dumars was named the 2003 executive of the year, and the Pistons won the title the following season, adding the 2004 crown to the two they won when Dumars was a player.

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Beau abounds,

if you look around There is so much beauty in life in spite of its pain that it is astonishing. It's trulyimpossible to take it all in. I always wanted to be a painter, one who could put to canvas what my eye could see. Unfortunately the ability didn't come naturally, for there are other attributes required than just the desire. The awareness came when I found that I didn't want to prepare myself in study, preparation, application and clean up. The thought of mixing paints, cleaning brushes, and learning from the masters didn't appeal to me. So now I enjoy beauty where I find it and fry to remember the moment. At this moment, I am sitting where I can look up at the top of a cupboard where I put artificial flowers at the end of the fall season just as a way of finding atemporary storage space. Temporary, but they are still there, as outside spring actually surrounds us in flowering frees and stems ofblooms. Some of my artificial look-alike flowers are in pitchers, others just crammed in where space was available atop the cupboard. I like the color of them there. Funny how lovely they look to me on this gray day. They don't grow or need cared for. They don't put down roots in the flower garden but give one the sense of color and their own loveliness to share. There are four pitchers of white porcelain brought over from a visit to Switzerland, duplicates in one case inherited from my mother after her death ishe would have been 110 on April 1l but from a time that she and myAunt Mildred joined George and me on a visit to their home country in 1975. These are simple jugs that make you think ofbarns, cows, milk, and the rural life. In their plainness, they are still attractiv e and setoffthecolorsofthe artificial flowers, mostly in shades of yellow and orange. There are a few stems mimicking baby sunflowers with their faces bringing one's attention to them, gaudy girls drawing your eyes to them as though they are young and vibrant and wanting to be away from their mundane background, just as young folks do the same. A visitor might wonder why those artifi cialstems are stuffed there sonear the ceiling and wouldn't know how they agreed to sit up there until I was ready with abetterstoragespace,arrangement, or even deciding to let them go into the trash can.

Native plants, including three species of penstemon, Wyeth buckwheat, Basin big sage, native columbine, and blue wildrye, grow in a rock-raised bed in Susan Geer's yard in La Grande.

By Kelly Black ForThe Observerand the Baker City Herald

Native plants might be the new rock stars ofhome landscaping. They use less water and synthetic chemicals while providing morehabitatandfood for bees and birds — and they have a propensityforostentatious displays of color. Ornamentals are bred for different reasons than providing food and habitat. "A lot of ornamentals do not even produce seeds," said Susan Geer of La Grande, who works as a botanistand ecologistforthe Forest Service. Nativeplants produce seeds and nectar. Many have a structure that complement native bees and birds. Geer grew up in Illinois. "There were not any native plants around me where I grew up," said Geer."It was cornfields." In college she began studying natural plant communities. When Geer moved to Oregon she immediately recognized that the abundance of native plants Oregon has is special. She joined the Native Plant Society of Oregon. She also filled her yard in La Grande with native flowers and shrubs. "I am pleasantly surprised by

Laurie Allen waters plants that will be sold at the native plant sale held in Cove atThe Plantworks on April 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. how many species of native bees I see in my yard," said Geer. She worked at the USDA bee lab at Utah State studying pollination ecology. There are

about56,000 speciesofbees in the world. She beli eves that native bees and native plants in our region have evolved to co-exist.

Some native flowers are so tiny that only very small native bees can fit inside to collect nectar and spread pollen. Some native bees have long tongues that can reach deep into the narrow tubes of native flowers. When people think about bees, they often think ofhoneybees, which actually originate from Italy. "Honey bees and bumble bees are social bees so they live in a hive or colony," said Geer. Some native bees are not social at all — a solitary bee may nest in a dried up stick that is hollow, a crack in the rocks, or a hole in the ground or a tree. Many native bees are two to three times more efficient at pollinating than honeybees because, while honeybee collect pollen on their legs, some native bees collect pollen on their entire abdomen. Jennifer Ferriel works as an ecologist for the ForestService. Ferrier, who recently moved to La Grande, grew native plants at her home in Baker City for the past eight years. "They are nice because they do not take a lot of water. In general, once they get started, they do okay with normal rain cycles," said Ferriel. See NativelPage 2B

imne: ounan asan wic By Karen Kain I love this time of year! The days are longer and the sun is shining. Everyone is busy getting their gardens started. Spending more time outside definitely means that lunchtime meals are a little rushed. I enjoy cooking low-cost flavorful meals. Sweet onions are in the markets. Here are a few of my favorite recipes. According to historians, the grilled cheese sandwich has been around since the 1920s. It was typicallyreferred to asan inexpensive bread and cheese sandwich. During the Depression, cheese was readily available and the meal was originallymade open-faced. It wasn't until the 1960s that the top became common. I am offering you another twist.

'They know how to grow in the valley," said Allen. Geer encourages people to look around their yard for microclimates. She plants native sword ferns on the north side ofher house. 'That is a plant you would normally find in the moist, darkforest, "said Geer.

Northeast Oregon also has alargevariety ofnative buckwheats. 'Their colors can be really brilliant," said Geer.'They would be good for a rock garden or gravel garden." For those who are ready to replace their thirsty lawn with native plants, Geer has several suggestions. The first is, do not bother digging up the lawn. Geer has developed an easysystem toreplace sections oflawn with native plants. First, she digs holes in the lawn for native plants and shrubs. Then she covers the lawn with cardboard and anchors the edges. Next she plantsthe native species she is introducing into the landscape. Finally she covers the cardboard with either mulch or gravel. Since plants cannot live without light, the grass will die and, along with the cardboard,decompose intothe new native landscape. Another approach is to water the section oflawn or

Where to buy native plants • Local native plant sale on April 19: The William Cusick chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon is hosting a one-day sale for native plants on April 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. atThe Plantworks in Cove, 69465 Lantz Lane. Proceeds will benefit the Oregon Flora Project. Several regional nurseries specialize in native plant retail sales: • Plants of the Wild in Tekoa, Washington will ship UPS: www.plantsofthewild.com or 509-284-2848 • Draggin'Wing Farm in Boise carries dry land native species: waterthriftyplants.com or 208-345-4199

weeds that istobereplaced with native plants. Then coverthe areawith clear plastic and sealthe edges. Let the area cook in the sun for about two weeks, depending on temperature. This will kill plants and seeds in the groundpreparingthe soilfor native species. Growing native plants from seed is not that difficult, according to Geer, but many require stratification — the winter processoffreezing and thawing. Geer suggests planting seeds in the fall. Wildflower mixes, although popular, often contain speciesthat arenotnative and may even have species that have the potential to become invasive weeds. Members of the local William Cusick chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon, learn to identify and collect native plant seeds. The society encourages peopleto gather seed rather than take plants from the wild.

The chapter will be selling native plants grown from seedsthatmembers collected in Baker and Union Counties. The one-day sale will be at the The Plantworks in Cove on April 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.(see details above). "They are all grown from seed gathered in the wild," said Allen, who is growing plantsforthesale.

Mu Shu wrap with bok choy.

uicktake ona hineseclassic By LindaGassenheimer The Miami Herald

This is a quick take on a popular Chinese classic. It's made with sauteed pork tenderloin and shredded cabbage, which cook in just a few minutes in a hot wok. I have used whole wheat tortillas as the wrap. Fresh bok choy is stirfiied for a few minutes as a sidedish tocomplete the meal. I used the same wok to prepare both dishes. This meal contains 555 caloriesperserving with 36 percentofcaloriesfrom fat. Fred Tasker's wine suggestion: Asian pork dishes like this go well with white wines with a little hint of sweetness. I'd try an off-dry riesling.

llsing humidifier onfurnaceP Goahead, IIutlIe careful ByAlan J. Heavens The Philadelphia Inquirer

A reader recently asked for advice about whether to operate a humidifier on his furnace, fearing it

would lead to mold issues on duct insulation. I told him to use it, but to be vigilant. Bill Kane of Oxford, Pa., was kind enough to weigh

in with expert advice25 years of experience in making and installing ductwork. Kane noted that the reader'sdescription of the

midifier can be used with care,but mold is a real possibility," he said. Both types of material have enough surface roughness to trap and accumulateparticulates over time, especially on the return side, and this buildup is the area of concern. SeeFurnacelPage 4B

on't eac ic en: ecoo 'sutimatec a en e heat 25 degrees (if it's browning too fast or smoking, reduce the heat by 25 degrees). After 30 minutes, turn the chicken breast-down. Roast 10 to 20 minutes longer, depending on size. Turn breast-up and roast 5 to 10 minutes, or until the thickest part of the thigh is 155 degrees. REMOVE from oven and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully pour off the clear fat from the pan, leaving the drippings. Add about 1 tablespoon water to the hot pan and swirl it. Add any juices from the chicken, bring to a boil, then serve with the chicken.

By Kathleen Purvis The Charlotte Observer

Julia Child used to say that you can judge the quality of a restaurant by its roast chicken. Her point: It's so simple, with just a few ingredients. But there are endless ways to do it. How well you can execute that one dish shows a lot about what kind of cook you are. A fast, minimalist cook just wants to throw a chickenin apan and shove it in an oven. A fusser needs to baste, brush and turn. An artist slidesherbs under the skin just so. A control nut ties that chicken up tight. To see what the masters can teach us about something so simple, we took three famous roast chicken recipes: chef Thomas Keller's brined, roasted chicken, San Francisco chef Judy Rodgers' salt-rubbed chicken from "The Zuni Cafe Cookbook" and Julia Child's butterbrushed version from "The Way to Cook." We followed their recipes with just one change in the choice of our chickens. While Child called for a larger chicken, sometimes called a roaster, both Kellerand Rodgerssuggested smaller, 2'/2-pound chickens. In her classic 2002 book, Rodgers, who died in December, wrote that smaller chickens have more skin per ounce of meat, so they roast quickly and evenly while staying succulent. You used to see that size frequently in stores, labeled "broiler-fryers." But these days, most of those are cut into parts. Whole chickens, labeled fryers, usually are larger, around 4'/2 to 5 pounds. That's what we went with. While you can get smaller chickens from local farms, we wanted to conduct our test with supermarket chickens that anyone could find. The result of our test? All three methods resulted in good chickens. Keller's sweet brine resulted in a chicken with very dark skin, Child's butter-basted chicken had delicious skin but slightly less flavorful meat, while Rodgers' salt-rubbed chicken took the most time but had the moistest meat. The main difference was in time, which is a good way to make your choice: If you have a couple of days, go with the Zuni Cafe chicken. If you have a day, try Keller's version. And if you're in a hurry and just need to get on with it, try Child's recipe. The main thing to remember is this thought, from Nigella Lawson: e You could probably get through life without knowing how to roast a chicken, but the question is, would you want to?"

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — In an unsparing critique of Republicans, President Barack Obama on Friday accused the GOP of using voting restrict ions to keep votersfrom the polls and of jeopardizing 50 yearsofexpanded ballot box access for millions of black Americans and other minorities. "The stark, simple truth is this: The right to vote is threatened today in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago," Obama said in a fiery speech at civil rights activist and television talk host Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference. Obama waded into the acriddebateovervoting access in an election year where control of the Senate, now in the hands of Democrats, is at stake, as is Obama's already limited ability to push his agenda through Congress. Republicans say the voting measures guard against voter fraud, but Democrats say they erode the landmark 1965 law that helped pave Obama's path in politics. "Across the country, Republicans have led efforts to pass laws making it harder, noteasier,forpeopleto vote," he said, relating anecdotesof voters turned away because they didn't have the right identification or because they needed a passport or birth certificate to register. "About 60 percent of Americans don't have a passport," he said."Just because you can't have the money to
