Droughtconditionsin Eastern Oregon are affecting more than just the region's farms and fish; it could mean another early start to wildfire season on public and private lands. With barely any remaining snowpack, forests are drying out weeks ahead of schedule and crews have already responded to several humancausedfires outin the woods. Mitch Williams, wildland protectionsupervisorfor the Oregon Department of Forestry in La Grande, said the district usually enters fire season around July 4. But unless June brings rainand lots of it — he said this year figures to be longer and hotter for local firefighters. "Our powers that be are looking at us to have an above-average fire season," See Fire / Page 5A

By Terry Richard The Oregonian
ON THIS DATE In 1792, Kentucky became the 15th state of the union. In 1796, Tennessee became the 16th state. In 1813,the mortally wounded commander of the USS Chesapeake, Capt. James Lawrence, gave the order, "Don't give up the ship" during a losing battle with the British frigate HMS Shannon in the War of 1812. In1868, James Buchanan, the 15th president of the United States, died near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at age 77. In 1933, in a bizarre scene captured by news photographers, Lya Graf, a female circus dwarf, sat in the lap of financier J.P. Morgan Jr. during a recess of a Senate hearing on the stock market crash of 1929. In 1968, author-lecturer Helen Keller, who'd earned a college degree despite being blind and deaf almost all of her life, died in Westport, Connecticut, at age 87. In 1980, Cable News Network made its debut. In1990, President George H.W. Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev signed the foundation of a landmark treaty for the first-ever cuts in strategic nuclear missiles and a pact to slash chemical weapons stockpiles.

M otorists traveling on the Medical Springs Highway should anticipate delays this week. Oregon Department of Transportation maintenance crews will be blade patching the portion of Highway 203, also known as Medical Springs Highway, between mileposts 8 and 10 near Catherine Creek. Work was scheduled to start today and will continue for about four days. Blade patching involves the layingofasphalton deteriorated sections ofhighway. Travelers can expect lane closures, flaggers,pilotcars, crews and equipment on the roadway, plus delays of up to 20 minutes. Motorists areadvisedto plan extra travel time, slow down and drive with extra caution through this and all highway work zones, said Tom Strandberg, public information officer for ODOT. Highway 203 repair work will continue two weeks later on the 12-mile portion of roadway between Union and the Interstate 84 Exit 265 next to the La Grande Gun Club.
PORTLAND — The 7 bikes for the 7 Wonders of Oregon scavenger hunt will begin June 15, with the first bike hidden somewhere in the Mount Hood area.

Oregon Department ofTransportation crews will be doing chip seal work later this month on Highway 203. An ODOT crew is shown here earlier doing chip seal work in Northeast Oregon. This work will begin in Union June 17 and then continue toward I-84 June 18 and 19. Motorists should be prepared for lane closures, reduced speeds, day and nighttime flaggers, pilot cars,looserock on the roadway and delays up to 20 minutes, Strandberg said. Downtown Union will be impacted by the work on June 17. Parking along Main Street will be restric tedfor about a day. Residents and visitors will be required to park along side streets at this time. Strandberg said that information will be posted prior to theparking restrictions to alert motorists. A chip seal is a thin layer

Gorge iJuly 20l, the Oregon coast i July 27l and will end
at Crater Lake iAug. 3l. This a Travel Oregon promotion. Seven Oregon bike builderscreated unique bikes designed for riding at each of the seven wonders. These are the bikes that will be hidden and whoeverfi nds them gets to keep them, though this is open only to U.S. residents over 18 years of
age. The first clue will be given out June 15, on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for people following Travel Oregon and the hashtag ¹7bikes7Wonders. Look on the Travel Oregon website for apdf ofthe general rules. Travel Oregon will compile all the clues on its TravelOregon.com 7 Bikes hub page. The rules say the bikes will be hidden along a trail some day during the week, not necessarily on Monday. A Travel Oregon representative will be with the bike and someone must find it the day the bike is hidden. On every Monday beginning next week iwith a week off for the July 4 holiday), the first clue will be given out, with a second clue coming sometime in the mid-week. Travel Oregon is also working to send out clues by email. Working with Weiden+Kennedy of Portland,Travel Oregon is gathering photos from all of the scavenger hunts scouting expeditions with the bikes for use during the promotion. Bike builders explain how their creations represent"The 7 Wonders of Oregon" How do you create a bike that resembles Crater Lake? Or the Painted Hills? And how can you get your hands on one? Custom bike builders from all across Oregon explain how they tackled their assignment to help Travel Oregon create the new "7 Bikes for 7 Wonders of Oregon"
said.'Typically a chip seal lastssix to eightyears." Loose rock will be found on the highway after the chip seal work. The loose rock will be removed by a brooming machine, which will be operating in the daytime and evening, Strandberg said. ODOT crews will return to Highway 203 June 22 to applya fog sealoverthe chip sealed section. This will result in lane closures and delays of up to 20 minutes, with trafftc controlled by flaggers and pilot cars along the route. Downtown

Editorial from The Bend Bulletin:
When people insist that government is locking up access to federal lands, the doubtful say: Show us an example. Well, look at what is happening in Jefferson County. There's a deal that's been in the works since 2009 to make two beautiful spots — Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven — wilderness areas. Land swaps would knit together private and federal land, instead of the patchwork that is out there now. With Congressional action, the areas would get strict protections so future generations could get the same raw and rugged wilderness experience. What's not to like about that? Well, the reason this good concept has been opposed by the Jefferson County Commission and gone nowhere in Congress is that it has a poison pill. There is no road access to Cathedral Rock. Horse Heaven gets two places with road access. Cathedral Rock gets none. The only way for the public to access Cathedral Rock would be to float the John Day River. And not only is it true that the John Day can't be floated several months of the year, but the Bureau of Land Management also has discussed plans to limit boat access to the river. If you look at a map, this should be fixable. Muddy Creek Road goes right along the proposed border of Cathedral Rock. In fact, when Jefferson County commissioners went out to take a look at Cathedral Rock, guess how they got there? They didn't float the John Day. They drove out Muddy Creek Road and
hiked in. But instead of giving the public that same road access, the proposals have created a moat of private land between the road and the wilderness. A handful of private landowners would get easy exclusive access to Cathedral Rock. What's worse is that there have even been proposals to limit access to Muddy
Creek Road. Supporters of the wilderness have come up with a new proposal. Craig Kilpatrick, a land use consultant for Young Life, one of the private landowners in the area, unveiled it at a public hearing Wednesday night before the Jefferson County Commission. "It upset people that they could be a stone's throw away and not access the area," he said, which is true. But the so-called compromise solution is bewilderingly awful. Rather than give people road access, the fix is to make it so people can't see what they can't get to. The fix is to expand the moat of private land between MuddyCreek Road and the wilderness area. Some acreage would be removed from Cathedral Rock, and Horse Heaven would be expanded. Kilpatrick then ominously stated This is the last compromise." That should make the response from the JeAerson County Commission and from Congress simple. Reject it. Wilderness areas should not be carefully plotted to discourage easy public access.

Your views Nice: Removing bricks in Max Square is 'not right'
Write to us
To the Editor: I'm very upset about the City of La Grande removing the bricks from the park that we as citizens bought, and not letting us know they were going to. I bought a brick in memory of my son who was killed in a car accident. And one in memory of my deceased father. I just don't think it was right to remove them.

Bates: Travel management plan shell game To the Editor: It's been described asa shellgame. It'sbeen delivered asa saving gracefor the "sustainability" of our nation, and it is so important that is has taken at least five forest supervisors and eight years to complete. One thing's for certain, they don't want you knowing what you're getting in the travel management plan, and they surely do not want you having a true voice in the discussion. Currently the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is working on Subpart A of the plan, where the Forest Service decides how many and what roads are needed ior more importantly not needed) to manage the forest. One would think the supervisor's office would hold meetings with the residents of the region to find out their specific uses and needs and work that into the equation. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. I personally have a request in from September2014 forthe draftdocument outlining those minimum roads numbers. As of today, I still have no document. Why you might ask. Well it's pretty simple, because they don't want us to know. See, it's pretty hard to sneak somethingthrough when everyone knows what you're doing, and so the Forest Service simply keeps us in the dark until they file the report with their regional office in Portland. Thegl say, we asked them to participate in the maps session and that should count for meeting their needs, but it doesn't. Currently, in Eastern Oregon a draft document exists of the Subpart A report, and the roads it intends to identify for closure. And by the end of 2015, the WWNF will release that plan to the
regionaloffi ceforacceptance. The question is, will you allow them to do it without standing up and saying no? If you have time, please send an email to tmontoya@fs.fed.us requesting the draft Subpart A report and tell him travel management planning cannot m ove forward untilallusesare protected in the Subpart A report.

Moore: Replace stop signs with yield signs To the Editor: Are you sick of seeing our trafllc laws routinely disregarded? Does anyone remember seeing anyone actually stop for a stop sign when there wasn't trafllc? I share your pain and frustration. To make mine worse is the fact that I teach driversafety toourseniorcitizens,and we regularly share oursim ilar observations. Solution? One major step to rationalizing our trafllc behavior, and law enforcement, is this: remove most of the stop signs and replace them with yield signs. This way we stop when we have to and not when we don't. Europe made this move long ago, where there is much higher trafflc density. Lessstopping saves gas,reduces noise, allows cyclists to operate without being total scofflaws. So, I urge the relevant authorities to seriously consider this idea and then do it. We'll all be happier and be better, safer drivers. Fred Moore Ia Grande

At the 1972 Pendleton Round-Up, the "Wild Bunch from Elgin" formed two teams and raced with fury against each other, using two stagecoaches provided by Pendleton Round-Up. In the left coach was Jerry Chandler with Billy Hindman driving, and SonnyWeatherspoon on the back. This stagecoach is the originalThomas Ruckle Stagecoach that delivered mail from Summerville to Pendleton and in between. In the right coach was Odies Payne with Jim McClure driving. The horses belonged to Payne and the horse in the forefront center was named "Little America." Prior to 1968, the Elgin StagecoachTeam ran against a team from Walla Walla,Washington, but the latter team dissolved and so the Elgin StagecoachTeam made up two competing teams. This arrangement continued from 1968 through 1988. McClure always drove on the inside track and won many races that way.

The Elgin Stagecoach is a regular feature of the Stampede Rodeo Parade on Saturday. It was built around 1969-1970 by a group of Stampeders who formed the Elgin Stagecoach team. They drove the stagecoach in races at rodeos throughout this region for about 20 years and after the races were discontinued, they continued to drive it in parades. The horses were generally provided by Stampeder Odies Payne. you'll get an idea what this was like," said Russ Smith, presidentoftheStampeders. "Whenever Chris wrecked a chariot, he just rebuilt it."

ello, and happy June. I write that with some trepidation. When the temperature starts warming up, I start getting this ominous feeling in my stomach — oh no, it's summer. Admittedly, I don't like the 90-degree heat that will eventually make its way to Eastern Oregon. That's not the reason for the feeling. Summer is busy in the newsroom. And I say that knowing a journalist's life is typically go, go, go. Those slower weeks where I don't have back-to-back interviews are welcome. When summer hits, though, those weeks are gone. Parades, rodeos, fairs and everything in between start to blur when summer comes along. I work on Saturdays so I'm able to cover the weekend events. I was going through the Observer's calendar on our website lastw eek to see what I'm going to be covering. I stopped at August because I started feeling a bit overwhelmed. There's a large number of events to cover. It's nice I have a job where I can spend the bulkofmy Saturdays outside. The next several months I'll definitely be spending my Saturdays outside. Check out the Observer's calendarpage to begin planning what to do with the family. There's something for everyone in the Grande RondeValley. Next weekend, Island City's Hog Wild Days festival begins. Friday evening there will be a barbecue, and the paradewillbe at11a.m .on Saturday. Then the rest of Saturday and Sunday there will be food, a flea market, and craft and game vendors to enjoy. The Eastern Oregon Livestock Show is coming up the second week of June in Union. This is the longest, continuously running rodeo in the Northwest. The 4-H and FFA students have been workinghard on getting their animals ready, and this event is what that all comes down to. June 19 and June 20 is the second annual Eastern Oregon Beer Festival. This event, from what I've heard, since I wasn't here last year, was a huge success. It's expanding into a two-day event this year. Tickets are available and it is being held at the Union County Fairgrounds. The end of June will bring in the SolWest Fair, also being held at the Union County Fairgrounds. I have been hearmg a lot about tlns fair from the sustainable energy stories I have done this pastyear, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the fair has to offer. There are so many more eventshappening allacross the GrandeRonde Valley.

MADRAS — Frankie Redick grew up watching the sky with her father in Madras. Now an education assistant at Madras High School, she's sharing some exciting news with anyone and everyone who will listen. Madras High School is preparing to participate in the Research and Education Cooperative Occultation Network, or RECON, a citizen research project involving nearly 60 communities between the Canadian and Mexican borders. Armed with a new telescope, science teacher Scott Coles will lead his students in collecting data that measure the size and density of objects in the Kuiper Belt, a band of icy objects orbiting the sun beyond Neptune. eWe could find the next Pluto," said Redick, who tutors mainly students who are struggling with science. The telescope, a progranunable 11-inch Celestron, was purchased by an extension program of Oregon State University called SMILE, or Science & Math Investigative Learning Experiences. Armed with GPS, the telescope can find almost any objectin the skyonce a user has aligned it with a couple ofknown space objects. About 25 students helped break
out the new equipment for a test run outside the high school Thursday night. Some looked at the sky with binoculars,and othersused an application called Sky Guide on their cellphones. While Coles set up the new telescope, Randy Matson, 65, trained his own telescope on the moon. He purchased the deviceafew yearsago,and decided to donate it to the high school after hearing about its involvement with RECON. "I read about the project and figured it was a good place for ithe telescope) to go," Matson said. Many students, like Jake Frank, 15, and Noe Melgarejo Jr., 14, heard about the project through SMILE. "I am looking forward to collecting data and looking at the Kuiper Belt," Melgarejo said."I liked to learn about space when I was a little kid." Soraya Mendez, 16, learned about the star party from Coles. Before Thursday she had never seen a planet througha telescope before. "It's pretty awesome, all the things we can discover through this telescope," Mendez said."It's crazy that it's happening here, in this little town." Over the next five years, a network of project participants will periodically and simultaneously train their telescopes on a specific spot in the night sky and record
15 to 20 minutes of video. The data will then be sent to planetary scientists Marc Buie, with the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and John Keller, with Cal Polyin San Luis Obispo, California. If a new Kuiper Belt object is discovered by Madras High School students, they get to name it. The high school is just one Central Oregon school participating in the research. Sisters High School is working in partnership with the Sisters Astronomy Club. Bend High, Ridgeview and Redmond high schools have also confirmed their plans to participate also, according to Bulletin archives. The first official night of data collection is scheduled June 10 and anyone is welcome to attend Madras High School's event.U pdates to the project are posted at www.tnorecon.net. RECON has sparked so much excitement that the school maycreate an astronomy dass for the 2016-17 school year, said Georgina Fugate, a SMILE adviser. "This is a way for students and community members to learn more about the solar system, reach out to other communities, and participate in research that will be published," Fugate said.'Theyare gathering new information that will help us understand our place in the solar system."

It's not often a shuttle bus drives into an interstate median, busts through a cable barrier, crossesthreelanes of opposite-direction traffic, tips on its side and then can be describedas a"miracle." But that's what happened Saturday morning. Only the driver and two passengers aboard an otherwise empty shuttle bus were injured in the crashed on Interstate 5 south of Woodburn. Oregon State Police troopers, who continued to investigate the crash Saturday, had not identified the driver or passengers. Witnesses and others said none of the three, who were taken to a Salem-
areahospital,appeared to be injured seriously. The southbound Hut Airport Shuttle crossed into the median, broke through the cablebarrier,entered theopposite lands of traflic, tipped onto its side and slid to a stop on the grass along the northbound side of the interstate.

La Grande High School graduates came together on Saturday at the LHS gymnasium to celebrate their last day at the high school and their first step into adulthood. It was a packed gym with family and friends supporting their seniors who will go off next year to college, the military or their respective jobs. At the end of their graduation ceremony, the seniors were told to take their tassels from the right side of their caps and place them on the left, signifying their commencement.

DORY'S DIARY

Memorial
Day mystery, continued Last week I was investigating the Rothaker or Rothacher name as the identit y ofa youngman fi om La Grande killed in World War II in 1942 as mentioned in my grandmother Mary Hofinann's diary. As I read it, I felt I should be sure I was transcribing her diary correctly as well as a curiosity as to the family's connection to ours. Her Friday, Aug. 28, 1942, entryread: "Sent a Card for Roht...ter. There (Theirl boy died in the war." A later entryread: 'Went to the furnell (funerall for young Roth... Had to stand outside. Went with Griti to the cemetery." lGriti being my mother's Swiss name for Margaret.) I had decided that the name in blotched ink could be Rothacher as found in my 1928 city directory because there was a telegraphy and railroad connection between our families. However, I couldn't find a first name for the son who had died, so I restudied her diary again, wonderingif the"t" could be a"c"which could make the word change to Rochester, a family with three children also listed in the 1928 city directory. It would be worth the search. I returned to the Hillcrest East cemetery office of Susan Anderson, who always so cheerfully helps me locate names, dates, and burials. This time, with the name Rochester, she located the graves of Earl (sicl and Freda (sicl Rochester buried beside their son, Eugene E. Rochester. Earl had been a conductor on the OWR&N (Oregon Washington Railway and Navigation Company) where my dad was a fireman at the time. Eugene had been born in 1920 and died in 1942 so would have been 22 years old at the time ofhis death.

Story and Photos By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service
I confess that since writing this column I look at food in a totally different light. When I saw eggplants at the market I was drawn to them for their beautiful deep colorand imagined how great they would look in a food photo. I love eggplant and I am always looking for new ways to prepare them. I believe I have come up with a few here. Both of theserecipes are from my new favorite chef, Yotam Ottolenghi. He happens to be from London. He makes cooking with fresh vegetables fun, r challenging and just plain delicious. Iam nota big breakfast person, but I wanted to try this Eggplant with Potatoes and Tomatoes dish, so naturally I made it for brunch. It definitely takes a few steps but it is hearty, creative and very tasty. I tweaked it a bit but I usually do when cooking. I am also sharing with you an Eggplant with Crushed Chickpeas Appetizer. It is pretty basic in the directions but the flavors are unique and it makes a delicious appetizer, which is certainly new to my palate. I hope you enjoy these dishes; I would love to hear about the beautiful foods in your garden that make it to the table. Cheers!

Dice the onions and chop the parsley. In a bowl add the onion, vinegar, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and Sriacha sauce. Mix to fully combine the flavors. Chop the eggplants, then put them into a colander and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and let it sit for 30 minutes to remove any excess liquid and pat dry with a paper towel. Pour 1 cup of olive oil and 1 cup of sunflower oil into a large frying pan and place on high heat. Add the eggplant in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. With a slotted spoon carefully remove the eggplant onto paper towels and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the potatoes for 5 minutes then drain. Remove the oil from the frying pan leaving only 3 tablespoons of oil and fry the potatoes for 10 minutes, remove and set aside. (You can save the oil for future use). In a small bowl combine the tahini with 1/4 cup of water, lemon / juice, garlic and a dash of salt then whisk together. Put the eggplant into a large casserole dish. Add the potatoes, tomatoes then mix and stir all the ingredients together. Top with the cilantro and tahini dressing. Poach the eggs and place on top of the dish and serve! SeeEggplant/Page 2B

2B — THE OBSERVER a BAKER CITY HERALD

There's a primal wonder to smoked food — that such depth of flavor can come from so simple a technique. And then there's the fun of the process itself, whether you're working with a formal smoker setup or one you've "MacGyver-ed"outofodds and ends. Because, with a little creativity, you can smoke almost anything. As for flavor, there's more to it than mere "smokiness." You'll find a great variety of character depending on the wood used and its intensity. W oods range from assertive hickory to delicate apple. Cherry is pronounced, and pecan lends a fragrant nuttiness. Mesquite can be delicately sweet or overwhelmingly assertive, depending on how iand how much) it's used. It's not hard to find alder ipopular in the Northwest) or corncob ipossibly best known in the Northeast). Or try flavored hardwoods — wine casks, maybe, or bourbon-soaked oak. You don't even need to smoke with wood at all. Try tea or seaweed, or rice, nut shells and aromatics, such as spices, herbs and citruspeel. And where meat is probably the most traditional of smoked foods, flavoring optionsare almost endless, from nuts, fruit, yogurt and cheeses. Imagine having a cocktail with smoked ice. Think smoking, and the first type of smoking that

comes to mind is hot-smoking: using smoke over high heat to both cook and flavor foods, including brisket, ribs, chicken and sausages. Cold smoking is similar to hot smoking but without the heat. This type of smoking is strictly about flavor. When cold-smoking, smoke is typically transmitted from one chamber to another over adistance,so the food is flavored but not cooked. This isgenerally done for a couple ofhours up to a day or more. Because of this, cold-smoked foodispreviously cooked or preserved — whether fermented, pickled or cured — so it doesn'tgobad asit smokes. To create a cold smoker, attacha tube ofsome sort from your hot smoker to a separate chamber. An online search will reveal a lot of creative ideas, including using dryer vent tubes and pipes.

Place the eggplant rings into a bowl and cover with olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread out onto a baking sheet covered with tinfoil and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Toast the cumin seeds in a pan on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Using a mortar and pestle crush the seeds. Remove the skin, seeds and white pith of the lemon and chop. Put the beans into a bowl with the cumin, lemon and 3 tablespoons oil and salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Roughly mash the bean mixture-using fork. Put the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, mint, parsley, 1/4-teaspoon salt and a dash of black pepper into a blender or food processor and puree into a nice pourable dressing.

I was in for a shock, for young Eugene did not die in a foreign country of the enemy's bullet. But his death was service-connected. A newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal of Albuquerque, New Mexico, had the Aug. 23 story. It said, "Seven Army men killed on a mesa 10 miles west of Las Cruces were..." and it went on to identify them.

cultural and natural heritage areboth irreplaceable sourcesof life and inspiration." After many travels I realize the reason people travel is to see and experience history and tradition. They want authenticity. For example, would someone travel to Boston to see how the city had updated everything and put"sl ipcovers"on the old buildings? I don't think so, nor do travelers go toEurope to see what is new. It is important for us in La Grande and Baker City to realize that we are living in an area that has a rich cultural heritage full of history ialthough it doesn't go back nearly 1,000 years) and we have some beautiful buildings that make
was sure we had found the soldier. His name was Eugene E. Rochester, born June 19, 1920. I felt connected to my mother, my grandmother, and the Rochester family through her entry. The month and day of Eugene's mother's death were not given in the records, but she died in December the same year as her son in 1942 at the age of only 48. Was his death too much for her to bear? I felt her pain. The information fit for my Memorial Day column, I thought, but I knew it would be delayed, for now I needed to know where and how he had died, then shipped home for burial on the date my grandmother and mother had attended his funeral. I was now limited in my resources, for I knew The

In a bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, parsley, thyme, pepper flakes, salt and several grinds of black pepper. Stir in the onion, basil, capers and garlic. Spread a little of the marinade on the bottom of a large baking dish. Top with a layer of tomatoes. Spread over a little more marinade, then another layer of tomatoes. Top with the remaining marinade, cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. The marinated tomatoes will keep up to 2 days.

ONE COOL OPTION W hen you're looking to rig a simple cold smoker, it doesn't get much easier than A-Maze-N's maze tray, a durable and portable smoke generator. Fill the lightweight 8-by-5-inch tray with wood pellets ithe manual says sawdust can also be used), and light the pellets at one end with a small propane torchorgelled alcohol.Once the wood is burning, blow out the flame and the wood will continue to smolder, generating smoke. The perforated metal tray is separated into three connected rows, and each row will smoke three to four hours during cold smoking, and two to three hours at a temperature of 225 degrees. Fill the entire tray with 1 pound of pellets and it will smoke about 11 hours. The tray also works in hot smokers and has been testedattemperatures up to 275 degrees. A-Maze-N also carries various wood pellets for use with the tray. Find the tray and wood pelletsatselectbarbecue and cookingstores,aswellas
online for about $35. Wood pellet pricesvary by weight and brand.

once-secret program revealed by agency contractor Edward Snowden. Two lesser-known Patriot Act provisions also would expire: one, so far unused, that helps the bureau track"lone wolf" terrorism suspects unconnected to a foreign power, and another that allows the government to eavesdrop on suspects who continuously discard their cellphones. The White House is raising dire warnings that letting the authorities expire would put Americans at risk. "Heaven forbid we've got a problem where we could have prevented a terroristattack or apprehended someone who is engaged in dangerous activity but we didn't do so simply because of inaction in the Senate," President Barack Obama said Friday. The White House-backed USA Freedom Act would keep the programs operational but shut down the bulk phone collection program over six months and give phone companies the job of maintaining records the governmentcould search.

Civil libertarians dispute the White House's warnings, arguing that the surveillance programs have never been shown to produce major results. "A great deal of the'sturm und drang' over expiration of the Patrio tActisoverstated... The sky is not going to fall," American Civil Liberties Union executive director Anthony Romero told reporters. Paul's hard-line opposition to the surveillance program has greatly complicatedmatters forfellow Kentuckian McConnell, who oversaw achaotic late-night session last weekend where the Senate tried and failed to pass the House bill and several straight-up extensions of current law. Paul's presidential campaign is aggressively fundraising on the issue, and a super PAC supporting Paul even produced an over-the-top videocasting thedispute as aprofessional wrestlingstyle "Brawl for Liberty" between Paul and Obama — even though Paul's main opponent on the issue is McConnell.
