PORTLAND — When John Anderson opened his medical marijuana dispensary, Herbalist Farmer, a little more than one year ago, he gave little thought to the history of its neighborhood, on the eastern edge of Oregon's largest city. Decades earlier, it had been part of an unincorporated stretch ofland between Portland and Gresham. As both communities grew, the landbetween was divvied up and annexed into the two cities. Anderson's store had a Portland zip code. But it was technically within Gresham. eTo say that the gentleman who owned this particular dispensary was surprised tolearn he was in Gresham was an understatement," said David Ris, Gresham city attorney. Anderson's business was caught between two cities with wildly different rules governing dispensaries. Gresham has banned all dispensaries. Portland leaves the regulation of marijuana SeeLurch / Page5A

JOSEPH — If variety is the spice of life, Ed Pitts fully lives into the adage. In 2003, Pitts and his wife, Markie, first stumbled on Wallowa County when a friend suggested they explore Joseph and its bronze sculptures. Pitts said he'd studied bronze foundry work at California State University, San Marcos. Facing retirement, he began reexploring a childhood pastime of casting toys. In Joseph, he met accomplished sculptor Rodd Ambroson. Pitts, a self-taught graphic designer, said he made Ambroson's first SeePitts / Page5A

State goes ahead with Common Core tests By Tyler Leeds VVesCom News Service

Last week, the Oregon Department of Education refused a request by the state's teachers union to delay the implementation of new,more rigorous standardized tests. Locally, superintendents stand behind the state's decision, while opinions among other education leaders range from cautious to outraged. The new assessments, which will go through field tests at some Oregon schools thisweek, are beingdeveloped with federal help by a multistate group under the title Smarter Balanced. The tests are pegged to the controversial Common Core State Standards, which have been adopted by most states. The standards, which benchmark when students should acquire certain

Near the banks of the Grande Ronde River, men worked to break vegetation and build a handline Friday. Donning helmets and carrying hand tools, the men, new contracted recnnts for GCT Land Management, worked on a fuel break as part of training for the upcoming fire season. 'These are all new recruits," said instructor Lee Delyria."These guys will be on engine crews." Before they can be dispatched out, though, they must go through at least five days of training — four in the classroom and one with hands-on practice. "Part of this training is how to deal with the urban interface," said Delyria, who has been a contracted firefighter since 1998. The men are working on land off of Spruce Street, close to homes and the interstate, which is all part of the training. They have to be ready to fight wildland fire "anywhere, everywhere," Delyria said. As the guys finish the handline, they head to the engine to get a drink of water. It's about noon and they have been outside since 7 a.m.

Fire instructor Lee Delyria holds up the wildland firefighter bible, the lncident Response Pocket Guide. Delyria was training new recruits last week. and will be in training until 5 p.m. cwe're basically cramming a semester into four days," said Mike Aguirre, the other instructor.'This is the very first step here to become a wildland firefighter." Aguirre, who has been fighting fire for the past 18 years, was a hotshot before he left the U.S. Forest Service to be a contractor. He's been with GCT as an engine boss for the three years and has been to Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Washington in those three years. "That's what's nice about our job," he said.'You get to travel." Once their training is complete, these "crewbies" will

join a three-person engine crew and will be dispatched out of the National Interagency Fire Center. Delyria said they have to be prepared for anything. cw e do alltypesoffuel models," he said."Our No. 1 rule is come back alive."

Recently, however, many states have debateddelaying or even dropping the standards, with Indiana officially dropping Common Core after earlier adopting the standards. In Oregon, the standards were adopted in 2010, and students will begin taking Smarter Balanced tests in spring 2015. In a statement, the Oregon Education Association, which represents the state's teachers, called forthetesting to bedelayed, noting not enough is known about the test's ability to measure learning.

Write to us

To the Editor: Please join with me in voting for Greg Barreto. Greg represents everything that Iadmire. I have observed him and his business "savvy" for many years. Because ofhis exceptional business skills and his vision for the future, he was able to not only continue operating during the downturn in the economy, but also grow his business. Because ofhis ownership in a thriving business, he understands business and what it takes to be successful. He can apply this same skill and knowledge to becoming an outstanding legislator. Greg also embodies family values that are sodear to allofus. Because Greg has lived in Union County for many years, his understanding of our issues will serve us in Eastern Oregon very well. It is paramount that we elect Greg to be our voice in Salem. He will study the issues, seek input from those who are most affected by impending legislation and will never compromise his principles. Don't let the opportunity pass you by. This is truly what this election for state representative isallabout,"an opportunity" to elect a top-notch statesman who will speak for us. Vote for Greg Barreto and drop your ballot in a drop box or take it to the clerk's office.

R. Nellie Bogue Hibbert Former Union County commissioner

Hildebrandt: SEIU finances m uch of its agenda using dues To the Editor: John Turner received the official endorsement of the SEIU on April 28. Service Employees International Union is a labor union representing about 1.9 million workers. SEIU is focused on organizing workers in three sectors: health care, public services — local and state government employees — and property services. The union is known for its strong supportforDemocratic candidates and spent $28 million supporting Barack

Obama inthe 2008 presidential election, making it the "organization that spent the most to help Obama get electedpresident,"according to

Wikipedia. The SEIU expects endorsed candidatesto stand up foritspositions on issues before the Legislature. The SEIU CAPE board interviews dozens ofcandidatesfor state and localoffi ce before making an endorsement. It is a rigorousprocess and includes candidate training. The SEIU efforts in the 2012 Oregon election were instrumental in shifting the balance of power in Salem to the Democrats.

A lot of money and time was spent on theseraces allacrossthe state. Union volunteers, members and staff had knocked on more than 52,000 doors and made more than 170,000 phone calls. Candidates and others recognized the huge and tangible difference our union help make in these races. SEIU supports gun control, abortion and many other liberal causes. SEIU finances much of its agenda using the union dues paid by workers. Lanny Hitdebrandt La Grande

Cheaper to shoot cows than to shoot bears To the Editor: Dr. Joel Rice shot seven cows in the guts, making them die a horrible death. He did this just because they trespassed on his property. I snared seven bears on the Vey Ranch that were killing calves, tearing up fences and threatening human lives. Dr. Rice was fined $250 per offense. I was fined $600 per offense. Go figure. He was charged with felony charges, which were changed to misdemeanors because he is so valuable to the community. I dispatched the bears humanely with a shot behind the ears. I also was charged with felonies, which is prohibited by state law — no wildlife violation can be charged over a class A misdemeanor. Ispent61 years trapping toprotect ranchers' livestock. I served in the military and paid my taxes in Union County for more than 47 years, but I guess I'm not a valuable member of Union County. In my opinion, ranchers and their cows, farmers and their crops, sheep ranchers and their sheep, contribute more toUnion County than drug addictsand theirdoctors. Dallas Armon La Grande

1SVe SB The Obama administration — along with Congress — should move quickly to review and, if need be, fix any major problems that may plague the Veterans Administration. News that veterans must endure long waits for appointments at VA centers and assertions that a series of deaths may be connected to delays at the Phoenix, Ariz., VA hospital produced a recent outcry from lawmakers and concerned individuals. In Phoenix, a former oKcial with the VA hospital asserts that more than 35 vets died while they waited for treatment. Added to that was the news that the hospital staf held a secret appointment list designed to mask the delays. Most recently, a VA hospital in the Chicago area was under federal scrutiny regarding another covert list regarding delays. Other problems in other states regarding the VA have also been reported. By all accounts the top brass of the VA is seeking answers and searching for solutions. That is good news. Yet these assertions regarding care for the nation's veterans are more than just another troubling sound-bite. An d they cannot be ignored. The nation — whether it wants to admit it or not — owes a solemn debt to every veteran. Part of the sacred covenant between the nation and its veterans is the assurance — the obligation — that they will be cared for. Cared for not as a burden but as part of the execution of a pact. Congress and the Obama administration must move swiftly to right any wrongs with the VA medical system. It is a question not so much about justice as about fulfilling a solemn pledge. We owe our veterans more than sub-standard medical care.

BARRETO Continued ~om Page1A campaigning, your wife takes up your offense in a greater amount than you

do." Barreto, who serves on the Union County Economic Development Board, has had to parry plenty of criticisms of late from the Turner camp. From accepting money from Nevada businessman Loren Parks to Turner's criticism of a Barreto ad campaign over Turner's supportofa driver'scard forOregon citizens who lack proof of residency, the owner of Barreto Manufacturing has been busy answering questions about these issues, rather than being able to focus on the items important to voters. 'You get a little distracted from accusations against you that are unfounded, but you deal with those in the course of it, and they're not surprising either," he said."It's what you get withsome ofthese strategists." Taking the donation from Parks is something Barreto said he would do differently. Parks, a Nevada resident who owns an Aloha-based medical equipment supply company, donated $30,000 to Barreto, money that was eventually returned. "I didn't think it would have as much effect as it did. Someone who has no strings attached to the money, but has a personal history on the Internet — trueornottrue— that affects a donation," he said."Even looking at the donationshe'sgiven fora lotofgood causes and good conservative candidates, those get washed away in the midst of other things they attach to it. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't

do that again, just because it takes the focus off really what you are running your campaign on." The venom between both camps hasn't surprised Barreto, but he was taken aback by the apparent divide between residents on either side of the Blue Mountains. "Ihad neverfeltthatbeforeto the extent I have in this campaign. That being said, we have a lot of faithful followers on the other side of the mountain and that's been good to see," he said.'Those that arecamped on thatside doseem to have a bigdogin thefi ght.They'vehad something for a while that they don't want to give up.

Crash kills pickup driver north of Madras BEND — State Police say one person died and another was injured when a pickup collided with a commercial truck north of Madras. The crash happened about noon Saturday. Investigators say the pickup was traveling south on U.S. Highway 97 when it crossed into the northbound lane for an unknown reason and hit the truck that was pulling a trailer. Sgt. John Russo says the driver of the pickup, 21-yearold Jordan Alan Dunaway of Prineville, died at the scene, and a passenger, 20-year-old Makinsi Lorraine Gregory of Prineville, was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.

What's at stake in Oregon's primary

ASHLAND — Unable to find a good solution to protecting their certified organic seed crops from potential contamination from genetically engineered crops, small organicfarmers in this Oregon valley are appealing to a higher power: voters. They wanted to protect theircrops from being crosspollinated by genetically modified ones, and asked voters in two counties to ban the cultivation of GMOs — a move that would drive producer Syngenta out of the Rogue Valley where it grows seed for sugar beets resistantto thepopular weed killer Roundup. Mail-in ballots will be counted in Jackson and Josephine counties on Tuesday. The vote isthelatest example of a growing resistance to GMOs from Hawaii to Vermont at a time when genetically modified crops dominate the production of commodities like sugar beets, corn and soybeans. There is no mainstream scientific evidence of a health risk. "People are becoming m ore aware ofthefact that food in this country is genetically engineered, and they are starting to look into what that might mean in terms ofhealth and the environment," said Laura Murphy of the Environmental & Natural Resources Law Clinic at Vermont Law

PORTLAND — Oregon's Tuesday primary features only a couple of major races and ballot measures of statewide interest, but they are important ones — including choosing a Republican opponent to run against Sen. Jeff Merkley in November and deciding on the future of genetically modified crops in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon. Here is a rundown of what is at stake: U.S. SENATE: Republicans around the country are hoping to take over the majority in the Senate. While they face long odds in Oregon, they hope President Barack Obama's unpopularity combined with the disastrous rollout of Cover Oregon, the state's health insurance exchange, can make the race here competitive in November. Pediatric neurosurgeon Monica Wehby of Portland has tried to stake out moderate positions that won't hurt her with Democratic and unaffiliated voters come November. Her chief rival, state Rep. Jason Conger of Bend is running to her right, hitting her especially hard on social issues. GOVERNOR: The primary seems merely a formality for both John Kitzhaber, the Democratic incumbent, and Dennis Richardson, a Republican state representative seeking to unseat him. Neither is facing a serious challenger for his party's nomination. With the primary out of the way, the campaign will begin in earnest. STATE LEGISLATURE: A fight for the soul of the Republican Party is playing out in a handful of state House primaries. Candidates from the party's populist wing are promising to represent the voices of conservatives looking for a firebrand to lead the charge against Democrats. They're battling Republicans backed bythe business community and other establishment interests. The tensions are especially apparent in four districts centered in Silverton, Dallas, Keizer and Pendleton.

measures. Their media campaign has focused on convincing voters that enforcing the ban would divert scarce revenues away from sherifFs patrols and jails. Syngenta referred comment to the Biotechnology Industry Organization. The group's spokeswoman, Karen Batra, said the ban was "not just an assault on the industry; it is an assault on farming. It is telling one group of farmers that you can't farm the way that you want or you need or you think is best for your operation." The ban's supporters, who have raised a third of what opponents have, say they want to protecttheircrops from contamination by genetically engineered pollen, particularly chard and beets, which could be fertilized by Syngenta's GMO sugar beet pollen. The pollen wouldn't affect the plants in the ground, but would make it impossible to certify the seeds as organic, reducing their value, whether for sale or planting.

Tinkle, who was a finalist for the position with Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins, has led Montana to three NCAA tournaments over the past half decade. The former Grizzlies star forward has spent his entire professional coaching career with his alma mater, compiling a 158-91 record since taking over for current Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak in 2006. The Beavers have lost their five top scorers from a team that went 16-16 (8-10 Pac-1 2) and fell in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational.

Pacers take Game 1 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Pacers waited all season for the playoff rematch with Miami. In Game1 of the Eastern Conference finals, they made the wait worthwhile. Paul George and David West helped Indiana stagger the two-time defending NBA champs early, knockthem out late and take the opener in the best-of-seven series 107-96 on Sunday. "We know these guys and we're pretty familiar with them," West said after finishing with 19 points and seven rebounds. "I thought our resolve and playoff-style of ball was where it needed to be."

In the 1,500-meter race, McLoughlin's Susana Romero-Diaz sprinted out to an early lead on the first lap, but Welch steadily made up the ground to easily outdistance Romero-Diaz. "I knew she was going to go out fast, and I was surprised she could hold it as long as she did,"Welch said."But I felt she was probably going to slow down, so I just waited.

Stories sit

like glass jars waiting to be Filled Every once in a while words come to me that appear to be the beginnings of a fiction novel if I would put my mind to it,so Iputthem to paper. When the initial thoughts have run out and I turn away to something else, they sitlike rows ofglass Kerror Mason quart jars waiting to be filled with fruit to sustain me over the long winters of my older lifetime. One such fruit jar I labeled "He Couldn't Know." I didn't know, either, when the words came,that itwastobe aboutthe little houses that used to be outside so many years ago that we called "outhouses" because regular bathrooms hardly existed. This is how it went: "Oh, Grandma!" the little boy in my imagination said with a hint of disapproval in his voice. I drew him to my side with my arm about him, seated as I was in an easy chair and he standing beside me with the makings of a scowl upon his face. My imagination doesn't remember what we may have been discussing to make him regard me as an oldfashioned fuddy-duddy, but I knew it was there. aDo I seem old-fashioned to you?" I asked as I drew him closer so that we could talk better. He nodded. "I'm sure that's true, dear, but I lived in an old-fashioned time when everyone now old would seem old-fashioned to you. You see, we didn't have everything like you do and we had to get along without so many things that you can't imagine. Why, do you know that we even had to go outside to use the bathroom?" "Outside?" he cried unbelievingly. ''Why didn't you use your own bathroom?" he asked, pointing a scolding fi ngerdown the hallway where my bathroom was fitted out with the necessary appliances and some niceties, too.

By Karen Kain Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning. It is produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and a fungus called Aspergillus oryzae, in Japanese it is known as Kojikin, sometimes rice and barley is used. This results in a thick paste that is used for sauces, spreads,picklingvegetablesor m eats and soupstock.Misoisa greatsource of protein, Vitamin K, B12, riboflavin, minerals; it is high in amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. Miso is typically salty but the flavor is deepened with the combinations of foods it is cooked with. People were fed miso after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A Japanese doctor Shinichiro Akizuki, director of St. Francis Hospital during World War II, stated that it helped to fight radiation sickness. Miso is also known for its great source of Lactobacillus acidophilus, caused by fermentation, which is effective in preventing high blood pressure. Until recently I had never used Miso in cooking and was curious to try it. Both of these recipes are easy and healthy.

Agricultural ShortcomingsRepuire QuicKThinKing InTheNitchen

ar enin s By Russ Parsons MCT

One thing I've learned for certainsinceIputvegetable beds in our front yard is that, as agardener,I'm a pretty

good cook. My agricultural shortcomings are not something I'm proud of.Istartevery growing season with the best of intentions, laying out w ell-ordered plotsthatseem almost guaranteed to turn into things of beauty. But then life intervenes, weeks pass and somehow the whole operation has gotten away from me. What starts with fantasies of my photo in Sunset magazine winds up with a reality that warrants my picture in the post office — with the warning Wanted: For plant murder." The most recent example: This winter, I planted fava beans because they're the one vegetableI've been able to grow reliably ieven I can't kill a faval. But because the favas take a long time to mature, I thought I'd over-sow

•000

some radishes — they pop up so quickly that they'd be long harvested by the time the favas came on. Smart idea, right? Well, fast-f orward a couple of months and somehow a few ofthose radishes never did

get picked 4ey, I was busy). They had bolted and now were sending up head-high shoots of flowers from somewhere hidden deep in the fava jungle. Time to go in and rip them all out. But when I went to do that, I noticed that some of the branches were full of these tiny needle-shaped

pods: radish seed pods. I pickedone and tasted it.It was crisp and practically poppedinmy mouth. Think of aradish's sweettastebut with only a trace of the heat. It was kind oflike a cross between a radish and a sugar snap pea. I started getting ideas. I was bringing a salad to a fiiend's potluck that evening — a simple thing, mixed lettuces and quartered hardboiled eggs — so I tossed in

o esn't iveu tocoo n t a handful of pods along with some of the radish flowers and blooms from other plants that had bolted. The salad was delicious — and far prettier than my garden could ever hope to be. Ididgetsome ofthose favabeans too,and after much shucking and peeling, simmered them briefly with garlic and mint and then served them with burrata as another salad. That, too, was good. The beans were tender and full of that sweet, flashof-green spring flavor for which we love favas so much. But thenmy gardening ability reared its ugly head once again. When I tried to make something similar a couple of weekslater,the favas I picked had quite clearly beenignoredfor toolong. They were so full of starch my lovely light simmer had turned into a thick, stodgy porTldge. Ittasted good,butthe texture was pasty and floury. And Ihad only a half-hour before guests arrived. Des-

Some day, I knew, he would repeatmy storiesto his young ones and tie our generationstogether with arope oflove and understanding ... And, that's where I left the unfinished story. Without meaning to be imprudent, I've wondered since then if the subject might be one that

deserves some explanation to the young who have never had any inkling of the way we lived at that time. It was nothing to be ashamed of for it was a necessity for which there was no other choice at the time, but should be part of the information deserving of understanding by a generation who has no idea of their own conveniences.

To put lt another way, you are never willing to remain passive when action ls called for. You are no victim, and you will always do what you can to improve yourself and yourcircumstances.There are times, certainly, when your thoughts and actions may not be the most popular, but even when you are doing things that are controversial, you are sure to win the admiration of those who already hold you ln high esteem-- and there are many! Youhavewhat lt takes to be a hero to a lot ofpeople.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The devastating wildfires scorching Southern California offer a glimpse of a warmer and more fiery future, according to sci entistsand federaland international reports. In the past three months, at least three diferent studies and reports have warned that wildfires are getting bigger, that man-made climate change is to blame, and it's only going to get worse with m ore res fi starting earlier in the year. While scientists arereluctant to blame global warming for any specific fire, they have been warning for years about how it will lead to more fires and earlier fire seasons. "The fires in California and here in Arizona are a clear example of what happens as the Earth warms, particularly as the West warms, and the warming caused by humans is making fire season longer and longer with each decade," said University of Arizona geoscientist Jonathan Overpeck."It's certainly an example of what we'll see more of in the future." Since 1984,the area burned by the West's largest wildfires — those of more than 1,000 acres — have increased by about 87,700 acres a year, according to an April study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. And the areas where fire has been increasing the most are areas where drought has been worsening and "that certainly points to climate being a major

From 2010-2013, about 6.4 million acres a year burned on average; in the 1980s it was 2.9 million acres a year. ''We are going to see increasedfi re activity allacross the West as the climate warms," Dennison said. That was one of a dozen ''key messages" in the 841-page National Climate Assessment released by the federalgovernment earlier this month. It mentioned wildfires 200 times.
