Wilma Campbell, 85, and Forrest Gordon Martin, 86, were married last month in a ceremony that was 75 years in the making. Forrest and Wilma first met in the early 1940s when they were at a church service in La Grande. Forrest, at age 11, was quickly taken byWilma, 10, and gave her an inexpensive plastic ring that day. Forrest told Wilma then that he would marry her some day.

By Dick Mason, The Observer

It is never too late to say "I do"or too early to promise to. Just ask La Grande newlyweds Forrest Gordon and Wilma Campbell Martin.

Forrest, 86, and Wilma, 85, were married last month in a ceremony that was 75 years in the making.

"Some of my friends say, You've got to be kidding.' I tell them,'Nobody is more surprised than I am,"'Wilma said."I'm still in a state of shock."

Forrest and Wilma first met in the early 1940s when they were at a church service in La Grande. Forrest, at age 11, was quickly taken byWilma, 10,and gave heran inexpensive plastic ring that day. Forrest told Wilma thenthathe would marry her some day.

The two went their separate ways after their

church meeting and saw each other again only a handful of times. Forrest served in the U.S. Army for about 30 years and would return to La Grande now and then while on leave.

The two saw each other for the first time in decades in August when Forrest returned to La Grande to visit his sister. His wife had died about two years earlier and he had come here to boost his spirits.

W hile here,he gaveWilma, who had been single for the past 30 years, a call. The two, who had not spoken to each other for many years, began seeing each other regularly. Forrest gave Wilma many gifts, including a blue

sapphire diamond ring. It was meant to replace the plastic one he had given her 75 years ago, one she had lost about three days later.

When he was out of town, Forrest made a point of sending flowers and chocolates to Wilma several times a week via an American courier company. They were usually delivered by the same person, one who became quite familiar with Wilma's address during this time and knew that something special was in the works.

"He was always grinning from ear to ear," Wilma said.

Northeast Greenland National Park is the world's largest, biggerthan allbut30 countries.

Forest Park in Portland is big enough to have its own ecosystems.

Central Park in New York is a world-class spread.

Compared to that, Cove Corner Garden is a hiccup.

But it is bigger than the world's smallest park, Mills End Park, the 2-foot across park located in the median strip of S.W. Naito Parkway in Portland.

REAL PEOPLE Barely.

Micromanaging this piece ofparadise,caretaking Cove Corner Garden, across from Dollars Corner store, and the nearby veterans memorial by the Baptist Church, is Becky Drove.

"So many people get such joy out of it," the Cove resident said between checking on her new roses, just now poking out of the newly awakening soil.cThe garden gets the community together.

With all co-sponsors on board, an amendment to the Grande Ronde Enterprise Zone could boost an opportunity for growth in La Grande.

The City of La Grande sought the change to expand its portion of the enterprise zone by a net 433 acres.

Created in 2009, the Grande Ronde Enterprise Zone is designed to entice new businesses to Union County. aw e're very optimistic that it will make a difference forbusinesses considering Union County as a place to relocate, "said RobertStrope, La Grande city manager, of the amendment."The intent is to encourage development."

The enterprise zone allows businessesthat relocate intoitsarea the opportunity to apply for tax breaks with the state, said Shelley Burgess, the Union County administrative officer and Grande Ronde Enterprise Zone amendment process facili tator.The businesses receivingthe tax breaks are not taxed on the value of the structures added to the land for three years but do pay taxes on the value of the land within the enterprise zone.

ON THIS DATE In 1822, the 18th president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio.

In 1947, "Babe Ruth Day" was held atYankee Stadium to honor the ailing baseball star.

In 1965, broadcastjournalist Edward R. Murrow died in Pawling, New York, two days after turning 57.

In 1972, Apollo 16 returned to earth after a manned voyage to the moon.

In1982, the trial of John W. Hinckley Jr., who had shot four people, including President Ronald Reagan, began in Washington. (The trial ended with Hinckley's acquittal by reason of insanity.)

A summit was held at Eastern Oregon University concerning the growing problem of drugs in Oregon.

It wasn't about street drugs, but instead about the drugs found in a medicine cabinet.

Lines for Life, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing substance abuse and suicide, is traveling around Oregon and inviting people in the medical field, law enforcement agencies and concerned citizens, to create an action plan to fight prescription drug abuse, according to Chief Executive Officer Dwight Holton. The nonprofit's first stop was in La Grande at EOU on Friday.

The day-long event featured guests speakers like Union County District Attorney Kelsie McDaniel, EasternOregon Coordinated Care Organization Clinical Consultant Charles Hoffman, Lines for Life YouthLine Coordinator Emily Moser and many more addressing this growing trend.

As a former U.S. district attorney, Holton learned about theprescription drug abuse problem growing in America and is now taking action against it. aWe have a remarkable drug abuse problem under way in the United States, but particularly in Oregon," Holton said."Sheriffs and police chiefs, as well as medical examiners, you're paying attention to the wrong drugs. Prescription drugs are killing more people than heroin."

Holton said Oregon is number one in the country for

Samantha Kaan,one of many speakers on Friday, specifically focused on youth and their misconceptions that prescription drugs cannot hurt them. deathcaused by prescription drug abuse.

'The Centers for Disease Control has recognized we have anepidemic on prescription drug abuse," Holton said.

The goal of Lines for Life's series of summits, he said, is to go around the state and educatethe medicalprofessionals and law enforcement agenciesofthisproblem and

have discussions about taking action to reduce the abuse. aWe're here to chair a task force to host summits around the state to get all the relevantplayerstogether to come up with an action plan regionall y focused to reduce theprescription drug abuse numbers," Holton said.

Prescription drugs such as vicodin and oxycontin are

prescribed too readily, he said.

"I can tell you, we are understandably trying totreat pain here," he said.'That's what's hard about this issue.

Prescriptions hold a lifesaving role for people. We don't want to do anything that will limit people who need these drugs.

At the same time, we need to make sure we're not making them accessi bleto peoplewho don't need them or are at risk for abuse."

A portion of Friday's summit addressed youth and their ability to easily get prescript ions from fi iendsor classmates.

Moser was part of the break-off session on Friday specifi cally geared toward talking about youth prescription drug abuse.

Moser said she's seeing two things as far as youth are

concerned. First, they misuse medication for attention defici thyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder.

Those who hold the prescription will sell it to students who do not.

'There's sort of a misconception, "Moser said,"that if you don't have anyissue with ADHD, you can still take the medication when you need to focus and study for a test. You take one pill and iQI help you focus."

The second misconception among youth is that taking the pills won't hurt them.

"If these teens or young peoplegetaddicted and the supply runs out, that's when we see the negative activity around stealing drugs, old medication and goinginto the medicine cabinets."

Hoffman said this problem in Oregon didn't just begin.

It's taken years and years to get to this point. And it's going to takeyears and yearstoget out ofit.

'That's why this summit is being held," he said.aWe're developing action plans."

Kevin Campbell, CEO at Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc., said an action plan is necessary to the provlders.

'You can't solve the problem unless you talk to the prescribers," Campbell said.'You can'ttalk to the prescribers unless you have alternatives to prescribe."

The Observer

OUR VIEW

Ce g leCeotool.ooe

eis n C 01CC C The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission decided Friday to move forward on a procedure to possibly remove the gray wolf from Oregon's endangered species list.

Yet before this issue — once again — becomes mired down into partisan camps it is important to remember the commission is really only tasking the ODFW to review the possibility of a delisting action. Once the issue is reviewed, the board will reconsider the subject and vote on it.

Two delisting concepts are under consideration. Under one plan all wolves across the state will be struck from the endangered list.

Another notion will only delist wolves in Eastern Oregon.

The move by the commission is fueled by the fact the reclamation goals for wolves under the Oregon Wolf Plan — four breeding pairs in the state for three straight years — have been met.

Now there are 77 wolves in the state.

Along with just about any issue even remotely tied to wolves in Oregon, the commission's decision will most likely prove to be controversial. Questions will most likely be raised regardingwhether wolfnumbers arenow high enough to validate an actual delisting. It is a good question and it shouldn't be dismissed out ofhand.

ODFW personnel tasked by the commission to look into the issue should do so with vigor and review every potential pro and con to a delisting procedure.

Meanwhile, voters should take some solace from the fact that the Oregon Wolf Plan worked. Four breeding pairs survived and prospered for three years — just as the plan mandated.

While it would surely be convenient for special interest advocates to bemoan the process, the fact is the ODFW and the commission actually are on the right track. Proper review, of course, is necessary for such a big step, but in the end a delisting of wolves in Eastern Oregon is not only a good idea, but the right thing to do.

A delisting, it must be emphasized, isn't going to mean a wholesale slaughter of wolves across the region. Far from it. Wolves will still be managed and their numbers carefully tabulated.

The wolf plan worked.

Now it is time to take the next step and delist the animals in Eastern Oregon.

Your views Moyal:Insko candidacy a conflict of interest

Write to us

To the Editor: Eastern Oregon University is in crisis.

This small university, vital to our town, istrying to negotiate a period ofchange in higher education. Mostly, to an outsider's eye, unsuccessfully.

Nearly every executive level administrative position at EOU is either vacant or being filled by interim hires. The search is on for a replacement for Jay Kenton, EOU's interim president. Soon, the newly formed Board of EOU will make the decision about which one of the "final four" candidates will be EOU's next leader.

Here's the icky part. One of the final four is a member of the board. This flies in the face of good governance. How can the board make a fair selection in this situation, even if Mr. Insko is recused from the voting process? Tom Insko may or maynotbequalifi ed — hehasnoexperience whatsoever working in higher education. Regardless, his membership on the board, which will select him, presents a clear conflict of interest. Mr. Insko should remove his hat from the ring, immediately.

appeal initiatives. They have limited the appeal time to 90 days, making it much more difficult for the public to get anything organized and thereby supporting the outsiders rather than the Oregonians.

Sen. Floyd Prozanski held a public hearing on the bill April 5.

The meeting was scheduled for two hours, with each speaker allotted two minutes for their presentation, but approximately 70 anti-bill protesters were not allowed to testify. Many of the bill supporters were trom Washington state and California. Most of the meeting was taken up with Prozanski panels. From what I heard, trom one not allowed to speak, public testimony only lasted approximately half an hour.

In 2014, the people spoke loudly and emphatically during the U.N. small arms treaty negotiations that they wanted no part of it, including international background checks as it would do nothing significant to reduce crime.

Illegal gun usage is already illegal, and another firearms bill has proven to do nothing except to harass gun owners.

If the anti-gunner people were honest, they would admit to these anti-gun measures are designed to learn what guns are out in the public and to locate them and their owners. This has ultimately been a precursor to confiscation around the globe and made the public subjects rather than citizens.

I would strongly urge the Oregon Senatetorepresent thecitizensof Oregon instead of the wealthy and the out-ofstatersand togive Oregon people a bigger ear than those from elsewhere.

We have to live with what the Senate passes, and theoutsidersdo not.

"I'm a rose person," Drove said."I love roses."

There is also a willow growing out of a wine barrel, decorated with a glass butterlly, plus an honor roll of soon-to-be-colorful plants: phlox, burning bush, boxwood and a dwarf dogwood, geraniums and daffodils.

'There's even pink day lilies dug out of my garden at home and transplanted here," said Drove, a gardening enthusiast with an acre to play with on Conklin Road."Inanother month, the Cove Corner Garden will be crowded with flowers. I'm really excited about what's going to happen there this year."

Drove, who volunteered to manage the park a couple years ago, has tamed the weeds with a lot of elbow grease and a pick and shovel.

"Every time I'm out there working, people drive by, honk their horns and say thank you," she said.

spoken out about the threat of wolves in Oregon but has lost several head of cattleto wolves.

"On Page 27 of the wolf plan it says, 'management activities will be directed toward achieving the management populationobjectiveofseven breeding pairs of wolves present in Eastern Oregon for three consecutive years. During this phase, the wolf no longer will be listed.' It was a promise. We lived up to our promise. We expect the agency and commission to live up to yours."

Commissioner Holly Akinson, a former biologist who studied and lived with wolves in the Idaho wilderness, said she is really happy to see how Oregon wolf populations have done.

"I am very confident we are going to have a sustainable, long-lasting population," she said.

Akinson said she believes wolves m eet the criteria to be delisted,specifi cally because the species is not now, or likely to be, in danger of extinction and due tothe vastdispersalrates shown

by OR-7 and his mate.

"I think we could delist at any time," Akinson said.

She said she sees a public perception that there aren't enough wolves because they only see where wolves resideon a map, primarily clustered in Northeastern Oregon, and are not consideringthe vasthabitatstatewide where wolves could inhabit. To address this concern, Akinson asked if the commission could delist wolves in Eastern Oregon alone.

A majority of the commissioners unofficially agreed that they supported delisting the wolves statewide, and all agreed to consider delisting only in Eastern Oregon, if that was allowable.

The commission voted unanimously to instruct the Department of Wildlife's wolf stafFto look attw ooptions — delistingwolves across the entire state or partially, and to return to a future commission meeting with consequences and analysis.

Celebrating Arbor Day, planting trees around La Grande • Boy Scout troop helps plant trees over the weekend

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

La Grande is a little more greenafter itstreeplanting eventtook place overthe weekend.

About 20 to 25 trees are planted every year by request from community members who want to support Arbor Day, which was celebrated on Friday this year.

The Boy Scout Troop 515 planteda tree acrossfrom the Maridell Center and two more at the Short Stop. The group had several second grade students and one third grade student to help plant the trees.

Those who helped plant trees, were planting them on the right of ways, said Den Leader Stu Spence. Short Stop recently underwent some construction and had taken out trees. The Boy Scout group was replacing thosetrees the property had lost.

"A ton of people showed up this morning," said Den Leader Stacey Stockhoff. She said the group didn't have to plant as many trees because ofhow manycame to support the event.

La Grande holds two tree planting events a year — one in the spring, usually around Arbor Day, and another one in the fall, according to

However, on Friday, La Grande was recognized as a Tree City USA for the 25th year by the Arbor Day Foundation.

Tree City USA La Grande was recognized as a Tree City USA recognition by the Arbor Day Foundationin 2014 because of its commitment to efFective urban forest management.

La Grande had to meet four requirements to become a Tree City USA. According to apress releasefrom the Arbor Day Foundation, a city must have the following: • a tree board or department • a tree-care ordinance • an annual community forestrybudget ofatleast$2 per capita • an Arbor Day observance and proclamation "Everyone benefits when elected offrcials, volunteers and committed citizens in communities like La Grande

"Trees bring shade to our homes and beauty to our neighborhoods,along with numerous economic, social and environmental benefits."

This year, La Grande held an Arbor week from April 5 through April 11, Oregon's official Arbor Week designated by the Oregon State Legislature, and Arbor Day was celebrated on April 24, according to La Grande's proclamation.

An Arbor Day event took place at Riverside Park in La Grande, where the awardsforthe city'srecognition was given and a tree was planted.

Now, Wonder and I are expected to clear it all out in 82 days. Or five years. Or before retirement. Whatever comes last.

Her dad, 82,m y fatherin law,theguy with the million-dollar smile, Mr. Fix-It, diedinFebruary astheresultofatraffrc accident.

Wonder is the oldest child and lives the closest — about a mile away. One brother, the middle child, lives about 30 miles away but is in a valiant battle with cancer.

Is there any other kind?

The youngest brother lives a day's drive away at the 75 mph interstate driving speed proposedby localrepresentatives revving up their voices in Salem and has refused to set foot in the house since his mother died more than a decade ago ofleukemia.

Traumatic times, then and now.

So it is up to us — Wonder and me — to dig through eight decades of accumulated possessions and decide what to save, what to sell, what to give away and what to toss on the Mount Everest-sized trash heap of worldwide throwaways.

It's not easy. Grief over the death is still a daily companion. Wonder has to decideamong the deer antlers, eight-track tapes, thousandsofnovels,baseballcaps,coffee mugs and decorative plates — what has sentimental value and what can be safely sent to new homes.

Each week — we are only together on weekends thanks to the tepid economic recovery — Wonder and I let ourselves into her dad's home and are overwhelmed at the sizeofthejob.

MILESTONES Quebbeman — Brunson Amanda Quebbeman and Austin Brunson, both residents of Provo, Utah, were married April 25 in the Timpanogas Temple in American Fork, Utah.

The bride is a 2007 graduate of La Grande High School and graduated from Brigham Young University this month.

She is the daughter of Bryon and Christine Quebbeman of La Grande.

The groom graduated from American Fork High School in 2009 and is currently a student at BYU. He is the son of Brian and Trina Brunson of Highland, Utah.

A reception will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. May 2 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 11206 S. McAlister Road, in Island City.

The couple will make their home in Provo.

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN our hands and go have a margarita?

What clothes can we save? Wonder's dad was about my size — give or take 70 pounds — and there are shoes Im ight be ableto wear, jackets that fit, snugly, if I live right for the next year — a long-shot proposition at best.

I am not about to give away something I might need later, should my personal economy get even more tenuous. Did I say I was raised by Depression parents?

Did I mention experiencing a layofFfrom a dream jobthat forced a m ove two-thirds of the way across the country before landing on my feet — cat like — in Oregon?

I know better than to count on a job to last forever. I know better than to count on good health. Sure, Boy Scout like, I expect thebest,butIwanttobe prepared forthe hardest punch life can throw. Any time.

Anywhere. And not present life with a glass chin.

Wonder and I have 8-V2 years before we can retire and live ofF the land. We have no pensions. No guarantees except that, as writer Patrick McManus said, our worry box will always be full.

Maybe by that time the house project we are currently undertaking will happily be in the rear-view mirror.

Regardless ofhow long the present challenge lasts, I am there for her. She is there for me. And, most certainly, lots of people have bigger challenges on theirplate.

For now, we look for the small victories.

Every time we drop off items at Goodwill, we high-five each other in celebration.

It's a step toward freedom.

here has never been a better time to journey over and see why Elgin, Oregon, should be your next "destination."

The Elgin Chamber decided recently to team up with marketing consultant Lori Kimbel to make Elgin a "destination location."

The announcement came during the recent March 17 Elgin Annual Chamber Banquet when Northeast Oregon Business News Marketing Director Kimbel, one of the keynote speakers, explained the focus and affirmative impact it will have for Elgin, the local businesses and the economy as a whole.

The potential Elgin offers along with the serene surroundings is like a gold mine.

The collaboration of probabili ties and resources between Kimbel and the Elgin Chamber will aid and entice people to make our bustling community and the surrounding area their key expedition.

Elgin already offers a variety of activities and attractions including live productions from the Elgin Opera House, scenic rail rides from the Eagle Cap Excursion Train and events such as Riverfest and the Elgin Stampede.

Elgin also has an abundance of outdoor activities such as rafting, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, cycling, skiing and more; all thatcontributes positively to our local economy.

Destination Elgin will keep our members, business owners, community partners andpotentialtourists up todate ofallevents and activities year round.

The prime resource and processwillbe to create and design a publication that will serve as a type of fundraiserforthe chamber.

The guide can be handed to peoplethat visitthe community with activities, point of interests in the area and information about the sponsoring businesses to be published once a year with a varietyofsizes and prices to choose from.

Another lone wolfhas wandered into Central Oregon as the state considers pulling the animal from Oregon's protected specieslist.

Dubbed OR-25, after his GPS tracking collar, the young male gray wolfleft the Imnaha Pack in Northeast Oregon weeks ago and first wandered into Washington before returning to Oregon and going into the Mount Hood National Forest, said John Stephenson, wolf program coordinator for the U.S. Fish and

RagaaPack[RR-7II IHClfe/de

Wildlife Service."It just started taking off in the last few weeks," he said The wandering wolf was most recently tracked on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, north of Mount Jefferson, said Russ Morgan, wolf coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. State scientists captured and collared OR-25 last year.

The wolf is now about 2 years old, he said, "which is the common time forthem disperse."

Two other wolves, also solitary young males from the Imnaha Pack, trekked into Central Oregon in previous years. The first, OR-3, was in the Ochocos near Prineville in fall 2011.

He has not been tracked since.

The second, OR-7, became a celebrity animal of sorts after he came through parts of Crook and Deschutes counties that same fall.

His visit to Central Oregon came early in his long trek that led deep into Northern California. Along the way OR-7 drew national media attention, having become the first wolf in California in nearly 90 years.

Just last spring, OR-7 found a mate in the Cascades of Southern Oregon and has apparently settled down in the woods between Klamath Falls and Medford.

The pair had at least three pups last year and likely will have more this spring.

When young wolves disperse they look for a new place to live, Morgan said. Doing so they may change course regularly and backtrack. He said the data provided by OR-25's collar show the wolfhas yet to settle on a new territory and does not offer a clue of where he'll go next.

"All these collars tell us is where the wolfhas been," Morgan said.

They do not give an indication of where a wolf is headed."

An ode to electrici Isn't there a song or poem or something that says,"I love you. Let me count the ways."?

In this case, I have a love affair going with electricity. Let me count the ways, for we are truly connected.

Lighting, VCR, computer, printer, scanner, telephone, furnace, washing machine, dryer, microwave, space heaters, fans,refrigerator,deep freeze, kitchen range, can opener, popcorn popper, bread baker,coffee pot,electric knife, cake mixer, griddle, toaster, iron, clocks, garage opener,icecrusher,m ix-

ing blades...

How is that forstarters?

These are things I have used and appreciated, for they make my life easier and more pleasant.

Could I do without any or all of these?

Yes, I could if it were necessary, for I did without them once in their not being in existence and I could adjust to living without them again.

Would I do so, willingly? No, I don't believe I would care to give up the basic uses of electricity — lights and heating primarily, but when I consider things of a more frivolous nature — yes, I could to saveanation,for atone time there was talk about not having enough electricity to go around.

Million Bells: The author's favorite hanging plant.

Million bells: Asummer

hanging favorite Mother's Day is coming fast and what better time to give plants. There is just one thing you need to know: Million Bells.

They are really calibrachoa, but that is hard to remember. They are the most enduring summer hanging plant I have ever had and just get bigger and bigger. Our Mother's Day tradition any more is to go to EONL nursery where I pick out at least two of the nicest hanging million bells plants and my husband whips out his wallet and pays. We save by buying two and even if we didn't, I think I am worth the expense!

First thing, I put them into bigger pots so they can grow larger, and believe me they do. You don't have to dead head them like you do petunias, and if now and then (heaven forbid) they get too dry they bounce back prettyfast.Iproved that in a little basket I had out back in the hot sun.

I found it dry and wilted several times and yet it would revive after some water. Of course there would be the point of no return.

• This recipe, adapted from a restaurant, is abit complicat ed,but the end result is worth the effort in the kitchen

By Noelle Carter

Anne Cusack/LosAi gelesTimes

t os Angeles Times

Bergen Marcus of Los Angeles'Tarzana neighborhood recently spent a weekend at the Boulders Resort in Carefree, Ariz."Everything is so amazing there, including the cowboy s'mores in their Palo Verde restaurant. They are so gooey and delicious! Do you think you could get the recipe?" The recipe is time-consuming, as all components, even the graham crackers, are homemade. But the layereddessert— a takeon the classiccamping treat— makes fora dramatic presentation, whether you're serving company or simply the family.

THE BOULDERS RESORT'S COWBOY S'MORES

Honey graham crackers 12/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons (8.4 ounces) graham flour (whole wheat flour can be substituted) 1/3 cup plus 2 scant tablespoons (1.875 ounces) all-purpose flour Scant 1/3 cup (3 ounces) dark brown sugar 2/4 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free) /2teaspoon baking soda /2teaspoon kosher salt 1/8teaspoon ground cinnamon "/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons 2( /4 stick) butter, cut into "/4-inch cubes and chilled 2 tablespoonsmolasses 2 tablespoonsplus 2teaspoons honey 3 tablespoons milk /2teaspoon vanilla extract

2"/2 hours, plus chilling time. Serves 6 Blackout cake 2/4 cup (3.1 ounces) flour "/4 cup plus 2tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for flouring the pan 1 teaspoon baking soda /2teaspoon baking powder "/4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup plus1"/2 tablespoons sugar 1 egg "/4 cup vegetable oil /2cup buttermilk /2cup brewed coffee, at room temperature /2teaspoon vanilla extract 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch cake pan and line with parchment.

Butter the parchment and flour the pan with cocoa powder, shaking out the excess.

2. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat together the egg and sugar until thickened and lemon-colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Slowly beat in the vegetable oil. Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk in thirds, alternating between each, and scraping down the bowl once or twice. Beat in the coffee and vanilla to form a thin batter and pour into the prepared pan.

4. Bake until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes, rotating the cake halfway through for even baking. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack, peel off the paper and cool completely.

Cover the cake completely with plastic wrap and freeze until firm.

5. Using a serrated knife, carefully split the firm cake into three thin layers. Using a round cutter, cut18 circles. The circles can be made up to 1 month in advance; cover tightly and freeze the layers if not using immediately, giving them time to thaw before assembling the final dessert.

1. Place both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the molasses, honey, milk and vanilla extract and process until the dough forms a ball, approximately1 minute. Press the ball into a "/2-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

3. Unwrap the chilled dough and place it onto a large piece of parchment paper and top with a second sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out until it is 1/16-inch thick. Slide the rolled dough and parchment paper onto a half sheet pan. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the dough, using a rolling pizza cutter into 2-inch square pieces, by making vertical and then horizontal cuts all the way across the dough.

4.Trimoffany excess.Using afork,poke holes all over the top of the dough. Leave the crackers on the pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for approximately16 to 20 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden dark. Remove from the oven, set the sheet pan with the crackers on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once completely cool, break into individual crackers. This makes about 2 dozen crackers, depending on size; they will keep stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Ganache 1 cup heavy cream 8 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped Scald the cream in a small saucepan. Pour over the chocolate in a bowl and gently whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined. Cool until slightly warm to the

touch and set aside. This makes about 1"/2 cups ganache.

Marshmallow fluff topping '/4 cup granulated sugar /2cup light corn syrup "/4 cup water

1/8 teaspoon fine salt 2 egg whites, at room temperature "/4teaspoon cream oftartar 1/2teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1. Stir together the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in a small saucepan over high heat.

Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 240 degrees on a candy/fat thermometer.

2. Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Start whipping the egg whites to soft peaks on medium speed. (The goal is to have the egg whites whipped and ready, waiting for your syrup to be drizzled in. If they're whipping faster than your syrup is coming to temperature, just stop the mixer until the syrup is ready.)

3.When the sugar syrup is heated, reduce the mixer speed and slowly drizzle about 2 tablespoons of syrup into the egg whites to warm them. (If you add too much syrup at once, the whites will scramble.) Slowly drizzle in the rest of the syrup. Increase the mixer speed and whip until the marshmallow creme is stiff and glossy, about 7 minutes, then whip in the vanilla. This makes a generous 2 cups marshmallow fluff.

Cowboy s'mores 18 circles blackout cake About 2/4 cup ganache, or as desired About 1"/2 cups marshmallow fluff topping, or as desired 12 honey graham crackers To assemble each dessert, place 1 chocolate cake layer in a glass or narrow serving dish. Top with about 2 tablespoons ganache, then repeat until you have 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of ganache. Top with a dollop of marshmallow fluff. Caramelize the marshmallow using a kitchen torch and serve with graham crackers on the side. Repeat to assemble the remaining desserts.

Grab a couple of cans of chickpeas and tahini and get your food processor ready.

It's easy to make your own and it can be varied in several ways.

Chickpeas and tahini are the two key ingredients that make up hummus. Tahini is made up of ground sesame seeds and sometimes oil — it looks almost like peanut butter. Look for tahini in the ethnicaisle atm ostgrocery stores.A common brand is Ziyad. A 16-ounce jar

is about $5.

You may still be wincing a bitifyou had to write a bigger-than-expected check to the state or Uncle Sam on tax day this year.

Moments like these make many of us ponder belt tightening, especially how we can save afew dollarson ourfood budgets.

First ofE the easiest way to save money on food is to cook more of it at home. Second, the most expensive items on our shopping lists are often animal proteins: filets of fish, hunks of meat, cuts of poultry. So how can we save money and still get our protein fix?

Linda Watson of Raleigh, North Carolina, who offers frugal, healthy recipes on her Cook for Good website, says: "The most expensive protein you eat is a protein you don't need.

The typical American consumes too much protein, said Jennifer Anderson, a registered dietitian with the heart and vascular institute at Novant Health in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Most adults need between 46 and56 grams ofprotein a day. Keep in mind that two large eggs have 12 grams, a 4-ounce piece of chicken has 36 grams, and an 8-ounce cup of skim milk has 8 grams. Eat all of those in a day and you have consumed the recommended daily limit. aWe can get our needs met without having meat at every single meal,"Anderson said.

Fish, meat and poultry are not our only sources of protein. Think of financial guru Dave Ramsey's oft-given adviceto thosetrying to save money: Eat beans and rice and rice and beans.

You don't have to be that

spartan, but beans are a goodstarting pointforfrugal, protein-packed meals. Many othervegetables areexcellent sourcesofprotein:potatoes and green vegetables such as peas, broccoliand leafy greens. And don't forget protein powerhouse Greek yogurt.

Another idea is to stretch the animal proteins that you do buy with other ingredients. Instead of a hunk of meat on your plate, use meat to seasona vegetable stir-fry or a bean soup. One chopped chicken breast can go a long way in a pasta salad filled with vegetables. Ground beef goesfarther fortacosiftortillas are also filled with grilled peppers,onions and squash.

W hen you do shop forfish, meat or poultry, only buy it on sale, advises frugal blogger Jessica Fisher, author of

the Good Cheap Eats blog and a new cookbook by the same name.

Fisher has a lot of experience stretching protein dollars, feeding her family of eight. She combines turkey and black beans for a simple taco dinner. She makes lasagna with only a pound ofground meat,and sloppy Joes instead ofhamburgers. She notes that today's chicken breasts are so huge that she often cuts them into

four portions.

Less meatdoesn'tleave her or her family hungry. aWe feel satisfied," Fisher feeldeprived." said.aWe don't

THE CHEAPEST SOURCES OF PROTEIN We compare some of our favoritesourcesofprotein by price per ounce.

• Dried Beans: $1.87 for 32 ounces, which when cooked equals about 96 ounces; 2 cents per ounce.

• Canned Beans: 77 cents for 15.5-ounce can; about 5 cents per ounce.

• Kale: $1.99 for 2-pound bunch; 6 cents an ounce.

• Eggs: $1.89 a dozen for large eggs, which are each 1.75 ounces; 9 cents an ounce.

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast: $1.99 a pound on sale at meat counter; 12 cents per ounce.

• Canned tuna: 90 cents for 5 ounce can; 18 cents per ounce.

• Ground Pork, 90 percent lean: $3.99 per pound; 25 cents per ounce.

• Ground Beef, 93 percent lean: $5.99 per pound; 37 cents per ounce.

I see beautiful hanging baskets of petunias, but as summer wears on they get to looking bad if they don't have constant fussing. I'm not putting down American's favorite summer flower, but just want to share what I have found thatdoes the bestform e.

Continued from Page 1B Chickpeas also are called garbanzo beans and ceci beans.

If you use canned, no-salt added if possible, chickpeas, it's more convenient. But you can use dry beans if you like. Dry beans shouldbe soaked atleasteight hours or overnight and then cooked.

Here's a basic recipe for hummus and one for a roasted red pepper version.

In order to give up such things as an electric stove would mean that it would be necessary to have a woodburning range on which to cook.

necessary, it's amazing just how many of these conveniences we could do without.

Think about shovels versus snowblowers, rotary mowers versus electric lawn mowers, hammers and screwdriversagainstthe electric ones. Think of ways to stir and chop and blend.

Think of ways to cook and clean and communicate.

I'mnotdowngrading our use of these wonderful discoveries. I'm simply wondering just how many of them are really necessary to our way oflife.

when he took me with him at 50 pounds, but when I didn't go he had practically nothing.

He loved it that way — getting away from conveniences to survive under his own power.

I remember childhood and being without things I had never heard of or dreamed of, including television and today'selectronics,and I didn't miss them, so I guess they really weren't all that necessary to my enjoyment oflife.

If we ever have to limit ourselves on the number of items run by electricity to 20, Ihope they can totalatleast a dozen. I really don't need the other eight.

But, I'm glad I have them.

Two related issues would expand the marriage rights of same-sex couples. The bigger one: Do same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry or can states continue to define marriage as theunion ofam an and a woman?

The second: Even if states won't allow some couples to marry, must they recognize validsame-sex marriages &om elsewhere?

The justices on Tuesday are hearing extended arguments, scheduled to run 2f/2 hours, in highly anticipatedcasesabout the right of same-sex couples to marry.

• Same-sex marriage legal • Sam e -sex marriage not legal g Pending court action

two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law that denied a range of government benefits to legally married same-sex couples.

The decision in United States v. Windsor did not addressthe validity ofstate marriage bans, but courts across the country, with few exceptions, said its logic compelled them to invalidate statelaws that prohibited gay and lesbian couples &om marrying.

The number of states allowing same-sex marriage has grown rapidly. As recentlyas October,justover one-thirdofthe statespermitted same-sex marriage.

Now, same-sex couples can marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. A look at what is now before the Supreme Court, and the status of same-sex marriage around the country:

The states respond that they have always set the rulesfor marriage and that voters in many states have backed, sometimes overwhelmingly, changes to their constitutions to limit marriageto a man and a woman. They say a lively national debate is underway and there is no reason for courts to impose a solution that should be left to the political process. The states also argue that they have a goodreason to keep defining marriage as they do. Because only heterosexual couples can produce children, it is in the states' interest to make marriage laws that encourage thosecouples to enter a union that supports raising children.
