A total of 125 La Grande High School students received their diplomas at La Grande High School's graduation ceremony Saturday. Students who were recognized at the commencement exercise included valedictorian Zach Sherrod and co-salutatorians Lilly Page and Eloise Wright. About 2,000 people attended the ceremony in the LHS gym.

ENTERPRISE — The Farm Bill passed this winter by Congress allows for increased restorationon nationalforestland in areasaffectedand projected to be affected by insects and disease over the next 20 years. Lindsay Warness of Boise Cascade in La Grande said,aWe're cautiously optimistic. In the letter Gov. Kitzhaber sent to Sec. Vilsack he stressed the on-going collaboration work in additionto theneed for landscape projects." Warness said the designation expedites restoration using the Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2003, which allows the U.S. Forest Service authority outside of wildland urban interfaces in the northern half of the Wallowa-Whitman and Umatilla national forests. She said the Farm Bill is helpful in that it provides language on the benefits of restoration to local communities."Basically what it does is if a project is litigated, a judge SeeRestore / Page5A

About the series

When the race that is now the 3Rivers Race started more than 13 years ago, there wasn't much to it. eWe started out walking around the track at Eastern," says organizer Mary Ellen LaBerge, who has been organizing the event since its inception with Kim Sorenson. Through the years, the route has changed, the three riversinvolved have rotated, but Saturday's mission is still the same: Raise funds for Shelter From the Storm, Union County's domestic violence resource. ''When I first came to town Idecided Ineeded to give back," said LaBerge, who had worked with anothershelterin thepast."It's a need that not everybody wants to think about or talk about." For more than a decade, LaBerge has volunteered to work the shelter's hotline and is also a member of the Sexual Assault Response Team. She has seen the shelter grow from helping about 98 cli ents a yearto 500. Much of that increase is also reflected in the fundraising efforts from the 3 Rivers Race,the largest annual fundraiser for Shelter From the Storm. In its first

Wednesday morning La Grande District Ranger Bill Gamble shared with the group of 30 or more what he proposesfor a projectcalled East Face, restoring national forestland in the Anthony Lakes area. Gamble said the key tenants of the project are to restorethe areatoits historic condition, restoring and maintaining landscapes, creating fire-adapted communities and improving fire response time. Within the East Face area are white bark pine trees in decline from insects and disease. Gamble said blister rust-resistant white bark pineseeds are being collected to help maintain the species. Gamble said, "Storing seed will preserve the speciesfor the long run. We pick seeds exhibiting tolerance." Wildlife enhancements arealsotargeted within the project: how elk and deer can move safely through the forest via a continuous coniferous coverand diversity ofhabitat. Late and old stands oftreeswillbeprotected within the East Face plan, said Gamble. Absence of fire allowsmore shade tolerant species, like grand fir to choke out species like larch and spruce. eWe see a need to move the landscape back toward a juxtaposit ion ofstands and structures under natural disturbance regime," he said.

A Spokane-based program helping veterans get the services they need is reaching out to Northeast Oregon. Boots on the Ground is a mobile vetcentermaking iteasierfor veteransin ruralcountiesto access benefits. The mobile vetcenter started traveling around the Northwest in 2008, said Dante Rumore, an Iraq War Marine veteran and social worker. Friday was the first time his crew visited Enterprise, he said. Thursday they made a full-day stop in La Grande. Rumore said the mobile center coversa largearea from Western Montana to the Cascades including Washington,Oregon and Idaho. aWe are reaching out to vets in rural communities. We can travel to communities to determine the needs of combat veterans in rural, underserved regions," said Rumore. "Our intent is to know more about La Grande and Enterprise and become moreavailable." He said as they travel around the region, the staff networks with localservice providersto assessthe needs in each community. Charley Neveau, who served as a medevac pilot in the Army, was recently hired as the Wallowa County veteranservice offtcer.He attended the workshop at the Enterprise VFW Post Friday and is available for local veterans Monday through Friday at the Prairie Creek Center in downtown Enterprise. Rumore said visiting Union and Wallowa counties gave his team a goodchance to collaborate with service officers and other health care providers in the area. aWe are balancing two frameworks — we offer outreach workshops and information at large community events in order to build word-of-mouth communication within veteran communities,"

Boots on the Ground is a mobile vet center making it easier for veterans in rural counties to access benefits. he said. He said the main mission is counseling vets and their families who suffer from combat injuries and military sexual trauma. The vet centers are under the Veterans Administration, said Rumore, but they act as a separate agency focusing on readjustment counseling services. Their services reach beyond psychological support. aWe are vets helping vets. We offer help navigating the whole system and the benefits they are entitled to help with full readjustment," Rumore said. Some of the counselors specialize in helping veterans find employment and education opportunities, said Rumore. Zach Knight of the Blue Mountain Action Council attended the Fridaymorning workshop in Enterprise. He said he specializes in helping homeless veterans or those who are at risk oflosing their home. He said the council helps children of service men and women who died in combat with tuition assistance at

Eastern Oregon University. The council serves veterans who live in counties under the care of Wainwright Memorial Veterans Administration Medical Center in Walla Walla, Wash. Knight served the National Guard in Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt and was injured in combat. Josh Anderson is an outreach coordinator with the vet center. He saidthe team travelsto 37counties year-round providing outpatient services from theirmobilevet center, a truck equipped with a counseling offtce. Through a video/ satellite teleconferencing system, counselors can visit a vet using the Telehealth system on board the m obile vetcenter. aWe are always on the go; each week we are somewhere different," Anderson said. He said his job is to connect with vets and ensure they are receiving benefits whether it's a counselor, doctor, a patientadvocateorifthey just need someone to talk to. "I don't have all the answers, but I can find them," said Anderson.

Fire hydrant testing and maintenance Once again it is time to start the annual fire hydrant testing and maintenance program. The City of La Grande Public Works Department will be conducting these tests this year starting June 11, 2014. This program is very important to allow the public works department to identify the quantity of water available for firefighting purposes and it serves to rid the city's water distribution system of accumulations of sedimentation deposits over the past year.

You were bom not to follow, but to lead. Not to copy, but to create. Not to blend in, but to stand out. Congratulations on your accomplishments so far. And now the real trail-blazing begins. Find your passion. Comtnit yourself to your work, your craft, your calling. And change the world as only you can.

Citizens who experience any unusual water clarity problems after the hydrants are flushed are encouraged to turn on a coldwater faucet outsidethe house and let it run for 5 to 10 minutes. This will normally clear up the agitated water from the service line to the home. Further problems may be referred to the La Grande Public Works Department by calling 542-962-1325.

AFRALD IT WLL QORt:.

nee e Children are our future. A key element that comes with kids are the tools to help them become independent and engaged citizens. These skills are taught by parents and in the classroom. Parents, for the most part, do all they can to keep their children safe. It's no question that our schools should do the same. That's why it is encouraging to hear that the La

Grande School Board and the Union County Sherirs OKce have plans to get a resource oKcer in place. Though it's unclear how the schools will handle one oKcer, this is a positive step for the community. We don't have a crystal ball to determine when a tragedy may occur. We hope it never happens, but we also know that preparedness can go a long way if an incident did occur. That said, a school resource oKcer's help goes much further than preparing for the worst. One can help with the day-to-day struggles to keep our children safe, from strangers, from each other. An oKcer can help develop procedures for quick intervention to get a hold on situations before they turn dangerous.

The adoption of the 2014-15 school board budget and approval of the county's budget indicates a school resource oKcer will soon become a reality, after years of discussion. There's no doubt safety is a priority in Union County, but it can be diKcult to fund those peace-keeping positions. As the La Grande Police Department struggles to stay above water, it was not able to fund a resource oKcer as much as the leaders wanted to. The sherirs oKce was able to shik some positions to help a resource oKcer from their oKce come to fruition. We hope to see this trend continue and hope the police department will soon be able to participate, too. We hope our leaders will continue to see the importance of safety and to allocate funding as needed to keep our community — and some of its most vulnerable, our youth — safe for years to come.

Your views Brog: Cemeteries should be a place of respect To the Editor: This afternoon, I went to the cemetery to clip and sweep the area around the headstones of family and loved ones. As I worked, a car drove up, and a late middle-aged couple got out. I thought they were also at the cemetery to preparea loved one's graveforMemorial Day. How wrong I was. They had come to let their dog do its business in the cemetery rather than their own yard. Out of the car jumped Rover, and, although the dog wasleashed,itdid itsbusinesson the cemetery lawn. The couple and dog did a short walk on the road, but they eventually cut through the cemetery with the dog. Of course, the dog wet on several headstones as they walked through the grounds. Even though a cemetery is a public location,itisnotappropriateforuse as a dog's bathroom. The final resting spots forloved ones areplacesofhonor,notto be defi led ordisrespected by animals. It is frustrating and disgusting for me to think of indifferent pet owners coming to the cemetery to let Rover do his or her business on or near the graves of my family. A cemetery is not a place for dogs.

To the Editor: The Union County commissioners have made a decision to move ahead with the construction of the new courthouse, a much-needed new facility.

is required to look at the balanceofharms,instead of individual claims. Within designated restoration areas the bill allows up to 3,000 acres to be set aside in what is known as a categorical exclusion. Warness said this authority allows expedited projects where there is no negative environmental impact on the ground.'The Farm Bill exempted the appeals process." A categorical exclusion, she said, does not go through the appeals process. With those 3,000 acrecategoricalexclusions, small portions of the specific areascan be treated in an expedited fashion. Those set-aside areas are still required to go through a coll aborative process with stakeholders representing industry, government and environmental interests weighing in on the decision. Therearea few restrictions within the exclusions, said Warness, like the prohibitionoftaking largetrees. Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Supervisor John Laurence said the m ap of proposed restoration mostly targets land in Wallowa County with a little in Baker County. The proposal is based on the Forest Service's insect and disease risk map. As for the categorical exclusions, he said he is still getting an interpretation &om the Pacific Northwest Region's environmental policy team.'The designation should streamline the restorationprocess pretty quickly," said Laurence. Implementation for landscape-siz e restoration projects in at-risk areas won't begin until next year, said Laurence.'We are look-

ing at opportunities to use that authority in the future." Though no specific areas have been identified, Laurence said the insect and disease situation map turns "pretty red up there" in Wallowa County."In the next 15 to 20 years we shouldbe ableto getin there and do some work to stop outbreaks." This includes not just where it is evident that disease and insects are killing trees, but where there may be trouble spots in the future, said Laurence. The fight between litigators stopping logging on national forests and legislation passed by Congress has been going on for nearly 30 years. Endangered species listings have slowed down timber harvest while Congress has enacted laws like the Healthy Forests Act during the Bush administration and approved salvage logging sales in the 1990s under Clinton. "One of the goals of our Regional Forester Kent Connaughton is to stop that pendulum fmm swinging back," Laurence said.aWe are talking about the need for restoration. Through thecollaborativemeetings there is more understanding than in the past. It's a pretty exciting time to be around and it fits in with the Forest Plan to double harvest." Warness said the implications for the sawmill industry are good.aWe anticipate thistype ofrestoration work will increase a little bit byproducts and supply from theuse ofcategorical exclusions and the Healthy Forests process.It's a quick fix to a specific area. We are looking to Congress to provide a permanent system to manage the forest the way it needs to be managed in the future, to increase employment and reduce fire danger."

Engineerhogestosee hiselectric Nlanetakefliadt ByVickieAldous MailTribune, Medford

When aerospace engineer Stephan Boutenko read a magazine article about a Chinese-made electric airplane in 2009, he was impressed with the technology — but knew he could come up with a better design. "I thought, 'If there's something significant in the world I can do, this is it,"' said Boutenko, an Ashland resident who does consulting work for Boeing and other aerospace companies. His journey to create a better electric airplane is a tale about engineering, but also a saga about the ups and downs of winning venturecapital. The Chinese company, Yuneec ipronounced "unique") International, had started with model airplanes. When it built a full-size electric airplane and put a pilot in it, the company became apioneerin manned electric flight. Boutenko said the electric plane developed by Yuneec had to travel at about 55 mph to achieve its maximum efficiency — slower than a car on a highway.

Higher speeds drained the battery faster, cutting into the plane's two-and-a-halfhour fl ightrange. Boutenko assembled his team and they launched a company named Alternair. Together, they designed an airplane that a flight simulation program showed would hit its maximum efficiency at 80 mph. The plane could fly at more than 100 mph. With such positive test results, Boutenko began his search for cash. "My philosophy was, 'I bet if I put together a good business plan, I can approach investors.' I thought it would be easy," he said. So far, Boutenko has been unable to secure venture capital or a bank loan to take the project to the next level. A major impediment is that he lacks a flying prototype, which would cost about

$500,000 to build. "That's nothing to sneeze at. That's a big chunk of money," Boutenko said. Ifhe can secure funding, the electric airplane eventually would sell for

about $129,000, making it competitive with traditional

gas-powered planes. The two-seat airplane with its lightweight carbon composite frame would fit in the light sport aircraft category. With only an electric motorand no moving parts such as pistons, rods and alternators found in traditional aircraft, an electric airplane would cost significantly less money to maintain and fly, he said. A pilot and flight instructor, Boutenko said the electric airplane could make learning to fly less expensive, allowing more people to fly. The reduced number of moving parts makes the electric airplane safer and more reliable. In case of emergencies, it would have a ballistic recovery parachute to bring the plane and its occupants down with little damage, he said. The plane also would be much quieter, reducing cockpit noise and allowing pilots to fly over wildlife and sensitive areas with minimal disruption, Boutenko said. The environmentally fiiendly plane could be compatible with an electric

car-chargingstation,orbe powered by its own solar charging equipment. Although Boutenko is in a holding pattern when it comes to actual production of the Alternair airplane, he is philosophical about the wait. "It'snotnecessarily good to befi rst.It'sgood tolearn from the mistakes of others," he said. Meanwhile, battery technology for electric vehicles —whether they are cars or planes — continues to improve. He pointed out how the range of electriccarshas improveddramaticall y over the past several years. Boutenko hopes his company will someday employ people who will assemble Alternair planes locally The planes also could

be packaged and shipped as luts for pilots to burld themselves. "I want to see the Rogue Valley move to become the electric airplane and electric vehicle capital of the United States," he said. For more information about Alternair, visit alternair .com.

PORTLAND — In 1865, the first annual report from the Library Association of Portland lamented the time consumed in sending 1,400 books by sea and by land across the Panama Isthmus to stock theli brary'sshelves. The Panama Canal wouldn't open for another 49 years. The books would arrive several months late, but the association'srecord keeper noted the upside, in scrawling calligraphy: The books came at a discount. Today, Woodstock resident Sue Korpela logs on to her computer to browse a collection of more than 2 million books, plus tens of thousands of digital titles. She punches the numbers tattooed on her arm into a login field to reserve the ones she wants to read next. Although Korpela's idea of alibrary experience would be unfathomable to the founders of what's now the Multnomah County Library, the 46-year-old Korpela is old-school by the standards oftoday's library user. Patrons increasingly prefer to borrow books in digital form, without ever setting foot in a library building. It's the oldest public library west of the Mississippi.

• Union/Cove two games away from 1A state title By Eric Avissar The Observer

With Union/Cove up 2-0 at home in the second inning of the OSAA 1A

softbal lplayoffs,Sarah Good stepped up to the plate with Viki McCabe on second base and Kortnee Marriot on first. After both runners were able to advance one base over, Good was called out for interfering with the catcher's throw to third, and the Lady Cats failed to score a run in the inning. However, Good quickly redeemed herself during her next at bat in the

fourth inning. With McCabe and Chelsea Houck on base, Good struck a deep drive into right field that sent both runners home. Good went on to score the fi fth and finalrun ofthe game to key a 5-0 victory for Union/Cove over Prospect Charter/Butte Falls Friday. "I tried bunting twice earlier, and my confidence wasn't exactly there," Good said on her second at-bat."But I knew I had to get a hit for the team, and I was surprised it went as far as it did." The first two runs for the Lady Cats ironically came immediately after a strikeout. After Keesha Sarman swung and missed at what could have been the last pitch in the bottom of

the first inning, she quickly noticed Prospect Charter/Butte Falls catcher Halee Hedgpeth fail to catch the pitch. W hen Sarman made her charge to reach first base, Hedgpeth made a wild throw, allowing Jaiden Wright and Carsyn Roberts to score. Wright and Roberts were the most efficient offensive performers for the Lady Cats, as both went 3-for-4 with three singles. "Those two runs in the first inning were huge for us," Union/Cove head coach Paul Phillips said.awe had multiple opportunities, but couldn't seem to put runs across the plate today.

After the No. 12-seeded La Grande baseball team pulled off a thrilling 4-3 win over No. 5 Scappoose on Thursday, the Tigers were unable to rekindle their success at No. 4 North Marion the following day, losing 12-3 in the OSAA 4A quarterfinals. The Tigers opened the game with a hot start that suggested they were ready to pull off two upsets in as many days, scoring two runs in the first inning. With two outs and runners on first and third base, Trenton Powers drove a double into right field that

Unfortunately for the Tigers, their offensive momentum came to a halt while the defense suffered through two horrendous innings in which they gave up five runs in the second and six runs in the fifth. After narrowly avoiding trouble in the first inning, the flood-

gates opened for the hosts in the second. Tanner Stremcha hit the first batter, then allowed the Huskies to load the bases off of two bunts that McKinley said should've resulted in the runners getting thrown out. Instead, the Huskies scored five runs, and missed a great chance to put the game away early after Stremcha struck out the final batter of the inning with the

bases loaded. In four innings on the mound, Stremcha threw three strikeouts, while SeeTigers / Page10A

ile the future of American men's tennis could not be any bleaker, the exactopposite can be said of what's to come from the women's side, with a plethora of incredible talent poised to compete with the world's best. On the men's side, Jack Sock and Ryan Harrison are the only players under 23 who have any realistic hope of competing for a major title. Sock has shown potential of becoming an elite player with a U.S. Open junior title and U.S. Open mixed doubles title to his name, while Harrison does not seem to have the toolsto crack thetop-10. However, as Serena Williams and Venus Williams enter the twilight of their respective careers, there are an incredible number of American girls under 23 that have already shown they are capable of winning major tournaments. The most accomplished young American female tennis player to date is undoubtedly Sloane Stephens, who fell to No. 5 Simona Halep at RolandGarrosearliertoday. Before even turning 21, Stephens reached the semifinals of the Australian Open after defeating Serena Williams, and made the quarterfinais of Wimbledon. Stephens, who is ranked No. 15, has already reachedatleastthefourth round of all four major slams, and possesses a level of athleticism, competitiveness and powerful groundstrokes that are seldom found on the WTA tour. However, in spite of all ofher remarkable accomplishments at such a young age, Stephens isn't even the American with the most potential.

Keys has shown that she haS the Skill Set to dominate the women's game. Before that can happen, Keys must become more consistentkom the baseline while also remaining more focused throughout her matches. With her natural talent and endearingly cheerful personality, Keys could become a household name and One OfAmeriCa'S mOSt

popular athletes within a couple years. The most recent U.S. WOman to make her breakthrough is Taylor TOWnSend, an 18-year-Dld Who reaChed the third rOund Of the OngOing FrenchOpen,herfi rst appearance in the main draW Of a SingleSSlam. Townsend delivered bliStering groundStrokeS and showed remarkable mental fOrtitude to hOld Dff NO. 20 AliZe COrnet in her second-round victory at the French. After winning the juniOr toumamentS at fOur Of the three major tournaments in 2012, Townsend became the first American since 1982 to hOld the NO. 1 year-end ranking for junior girls. AnOther 18-year-Dld Amencan with a bnght future is Victoria Duval, Who beCame the darling Of laSt year'S U.S. OPen with a suspensefully shocking upset win over 2011 champion Sam StOSur. In her firSt appearance in a slam, Duval showed incredible consistency from the baseline and terrific quickness for superior court coverage. She is Currently Dn the OutSkirtSOfthe tDP 100,but may not haVe the SiZe to become truly elite. The U.S. currently has 12 players ranked in the WTA tDP 100. Jamie HamPtOn and AliSDn Hiske are ranked 45 and 47, respectively, and were both bOrn in 1990. While each have shown they haVe the gro(mdstrOkeS and mental tOughneSS to continue as mainstays Dn the WTA tOur, neither has made it past the fOurth rOund Of a Slam. With both players in their physical prime, it would take a highly favorabledraw foreither One to make a deeP run in a major. Another young AmeriCan to keeP an eye Dn iS ChriStina MCHale, a 22-year-Dld Who haS reached the third round Of eVery majOr. MCHale is aterrifi cdefender and counter-puncher, but has a serve that iS eaSy to attaCk and lacks a true weapon. Similarly, 20-year-Old Lauren Davis has a slight build standing at 5-2 that suggests she Will Struggle to beCOme One Of the WOrld'Selite. However, Davis has already reached the third rOund Of a majOr at thiS year's Australian Open and haS a POWerful tWD-

handed backhand that will help her win many matches. All in all, the future COuld not be any brighter for American women's tennis, as there are three PlayerS not named WilliamS Who COuld beCOme WOrld NO.1,and OVer a dOZen CaPableOfbeCDm-

liamson was set to have another crack at Cranford with the Huskies making a full rotation through their lineup. In order to avoid the situation, McKinley optedto replace Cranford with Kurt Boyd, who finished the game out without giving up a hit. Boyd got Williamson to ground out to first base to end the inning, as Williamson finished 3-for-4. "All of our pitchers did a great job of competing for us," McKinley said. "Theygaveeverything they had on the mound, and that's all I could ask for." Throughout the road trip, McKinley said his players did a great job of remaining focused on the task at hand. 'The kids had a lot to deal with considering our first game was moved iom Wednesday to Thursday and the f was also pushed back another hour," McKinley said.'They also had to spend time getting their school work done since

In spite of the loss, McKinley said he isproud ofhis team's effort. "The kids by no means rolled over at any point in the game," McKinley said. 'They did everything they could.

Finding your own

gardening passion What's your gardening passion? What inspires you the most when you decide to go outside and get your hands in the dirt? For many, it's simply that inner connection they feel with the soil. You see it, smell it, improve it, and plant seeds that nourish your body and, inevitably, your soul. Do you have your own memory garden this year? You know, plantings that are inspired by what your grandmother grew, or your mother, even your dad. My dad loved carnations yet I find I am incredibly unsuccessful in growing them so I stick to other smaller-blooming varieties of dianthus. I am able to partake of the same cinnamon aroma without the heavy-blossomed heads bending and breaking in the wind. And the carnations? I buy them and place them on his grave. A bittersweet memory, indeed, but one I still cherish. I hope you have yours. I am hearing a common complaint this spring about the amount of winterkill we experienced during the extreme cold temperatures we were hit with in December. I lost many perennials to rot, something I hadn't anticipated. SeeGarden/Page 2B

Revisiting words that have fallen out of favor It was before Memorial Day last month that I was telling my young fiiend that my friend Orella was planning,atage 95,to m ake her annual visit here from Tillamook down by the ocean, to visit the cemeteries with flowers and take in visiting friends all along the way. I was looking forward to the visit, I told her. In explanation of who Orella was, I said that she had owned Zuber Hall. Zuber Hall? Yes, the building that isn't there anymorebehind the Sacajawea Annex. You know, in the U.S. National Bank's parking lot on Washington Avenue behind the Cock and Bull Restaurant. As we made connection in the location of the Zuber Hall, I felt like I was in cahoots with Kilroy as I peeked overthefence oftime ,so Itold herso. "Cahoots?" That was a word we used to use to m ean that we both were now on the same page, that we understood each other. Back during World War II in the 1940s, only some 75 years ago, we used to go to Zuber Hall to dance on Saturday nights, I explained. I then told Missy that Orella had taken over the hall when it was sold and turned it into Orella's Garden fordinner and dancing, and then later, into a roller-skating rink. Then marriage and children, moving away with her family to go into the dairy business. SeeDory/Page 2B

A healthier, homemade alternative to the classic Klondike ice cream bar.

By Karen Kain A big trend in today's diet is called the Paleo way of eating. It is referred to as a caveman diet; ifa caveman couldn'teatit, neither can you. This includes eating meat, fish, nuts, leafy greens, veggies, fruitand seeds,omitting pasta, cereal and candy. You don't have to keep track ofhow much you eat or count calories. The thought is that our bodies have not adjusted to eating so many grainsand today's dietsarefull of grains. As obesity remains an ongoingbattle Iw asexcited to try a paleo, vegan, sweet dessert. The weather is heating up, and providing healthy choices for summer snacks will be in demand. Who doesn't have that childhood memory of eating ice cream in the summer? Here is my version of a Klondike Barit is easy to make, healthy and delicious. I think you will find your kiddo's sweet tooth fully satisfied and asking for more.

Klondike bars, fresh from the freezer and ready for a coating of chocolate. Chocolate Coating: 13Tablespoons cocoa powder 8Tablespoons melted coconut oil 1/2 Cup maple syrup Line a casserole-sized pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a blender combine the ice cream ingredients; blend until they are well combined. Pour the batter into the lined dish. Place in a freezer until the ice cream is

frozen solid, 4-6 hours. Remove the pan from the freezer and pull out the cream via the parchment paper. Using a solid knife cut the ice cream into 8 squares, then return to the freezer while you prepare the chocolate mixture. Whisk together the melted coconut oil, and cocoa powered and maple syrup, breaking upthe clumps.You can add more cocoa powder for a darker

chocolate flavor or more maple for sweeter chocolate. Spoon the chocolate mixture over each ice cream bar, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Place the bars once they are coated on a plate lined with parchment paper and put back in the freezer. Once each bar is covered store in a sealed container in the freezer until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!

It's simple enough that almost anyone can play and complex enough that those who want can learn the technique and science that goes into each throw.

Oregon Department of Forestry Treesare avitalcomponent of healthy urban communities, giving area residents a multitude ofbenefits including clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat and psychological well-being. They screen harsh scenery and block noise from the urban environment and help reduce our heating and cooling bills. Trees also raise property values. Considering their many benefits, one might assume trees in our cities and communitiesreceivethebestofcare. Unfortunately, when it comes to tree pruning, this isn't always the case. First, a generalreminder: Ifthe trees in your yard are in need of pruning, it's often best to wait until early summer, after the leaves have been fully expanded for a few weeks. No matter what time of year, remember not to"top" your tree. Tree topping is the indiscriminate cutting back of tree branches to stubs. It's a common but detrimental practice that damages a tree's health and value. It weakens trees, making them vulnerabletoinsectsand disease,and shortens their longevity. Topping a tree removes much of the tree's "crown" ofleaves and branches. The loss offoliage starves thetree, which weakens the roots. Often, without its crown, a tree cannot protect its sensitive bark from damaging sun and heat. The result is the splitting of the bark and the death of branches.

Topping is expensive Each time a branch is incorrectly cut back to a stub, numerous long, skinny young shoots called water sprouts grow

And, proper pruning actually improves the health and beauty of a tree, saving you money in the long run. Using the Council of Tree and LandscapeAppraiser guidelines forevaluation,appraisers subtracthundreds of dollars from the value of a tree when it's been topped. And, not only do topped treesreduce property values,they also eventually increase liability because of safety issues.

Yes,the end ofitslipped down into a hole in the cast-iron stove lid in order to lift it out of the way so we could stoke the fire to rearrange the burning wood or to adda pieceofwood to it. However, the stove also had a door on the front that you could open to add the wood that way as well. The mental picture of my mom's and dad's stove whereupon they perked coffee, fried eggs, cooked beans, and made all kinds of good things came immediately to mind. It had an oven that depended on how hot the fireburned and the amount of wood used to control and keep the temperature just right for baking cakes, pies, cookies, biscuits,and loaves ofbreadtojusttheright doneness.

Kristin Ramstad, urban forester with the Oregon Department of Forestry, hopespeople can learn toappreciate the advantagesofproper pruning and give up thepractice oftree topping."Topping oftencreates high-risk trees,butproper treepruning usually createssafer, healthier, and more beautiful trees," says Ramstad. Trees make important social, environmental and economic contributions to the sustainability of our cities and our quality oflife. Properly managed, healthy urban trees signify time and money well-spent, are a good indicator of a healthy community and will repay you with benefits many times over. If the trees on your property are in need of pruning but you're unsure just how to go about it, contact a certified arborist, your local university Extension agent, or the Oregon Department of Forestry's urban forestry program in Salem.

A campfire sounded friendly, so I bought a fire pit. After I twisted the metal feet onto the metal bowl, I was stumped. Fire doesn't require feet. It does, however, require stumps where campers can slump, sticks in hand, and burn marshmallows. I checked back at the supermarket: no stumps. Later, while driving a country road, I saw a sign claiming free stumps. I pulled over and tried to lift one. Free, apparently, to anyone towing a crane. Then one night at a dinner party I mentioned my stump problem to my neighbor, Andrew. Not stumps, he corrected, rounds. The next afternoon Andrew pulled up in his truck. He heaved six rounds into place around the fire pit. That night we all slumped on the stumps. We burned marshmallows. We stared at the stars. Andrew pointed out pale Jupiter and fiery Mars. Which is when I noticed that the wood chips, under the feet, were on fire. After we'd doused the flames I decided I prefer the oldfashioned ground-level campfire. But I'm so glad I've got those sturdy rounds. And a round of sturdy friends.

It makes you want to be there in person in that time and place all over again, for the sight and fragrance are so real these many years later.

GARDEN Continued ~om Page 1B Most perennials, hardy in all of our tri-county region, are usually impervious to the cold, but this winter while the ground was still frozen, all the warmth of February caused inches of water to accumulate on top of the soil and effectively drown the crowns. I lost plants that have succeeded under much harsher conditions to crowndrownmg. The only remedy I can think of is to elevate, in intervals, thebedstheperennials are in. I'm not looking forward to the manual labor involved but the alternative is to not grow the plants I like. That's not an option.

overcome in their weakened condition. I have noticed many paperwhite birch in our area with at least half-dead crowns, or worse. If more than half of your tree is dead, your best option is to remove it and plant anew. I know this is difficult especially if you have enjoyedthat particulartree for many seasons. Replacement is a better option than butchering, however. If someone recommends topping the tree, beware! iseerelated story ahovel. Topping a tree is one of the most horrid things you could do to it and any well-trained and certified arborist would strongly advise against it. There are several reputable companies in our areas, you can find them on the Internet and in local phone directories. Just remember, as we begin the month of June, if your trees aren't leafed out yet, they won't be in another month. It's time to take inventory of damage. Do your researchand try to select,if you have to, hardier replacement stock. But be patient! Young trees may reward you, no doubt, for years to come. Until next time, get some more lettuce sown! Succession planting is the best idea for continual fresh eating!

Some of us grill throughout the year, happily tending to the flames and the food as flakes of snow fall from the night sky and sizzle on the grate. For people who are slightly more sane, though, the grilling season began last weekend. As of 2012, some 71 percent of all Americans who own grill s(and 80 percent of us do) were expected to use them on Memorial Day, accordingtothefolksatW eber Grills. There is something primal about grilling, the combination of flame and raw meat (or vegetable or frtut or even pizza) that tugs at the caveman within and makes us feel unified with our wild ancestors. It awakens inside us the satisfaction felt by early man after a successful hunt, knowing they would be w ell fed for severaldays. And not to belabor the point, but grilling also happens to be delicious. Flame,fatand food.Itis cooking at its most elemental. It's easy, and it's a simple way to get big flavors out of food. And that may explain why, when we grill, we tend to gril lfoodsthatareeasy and require little preparation. The most commonly grilled foods are hot dogs, hamburgers and steak, in that order. Each is easy, none requires much work or thought at all. Each is adequate in its own way, but nothing special. That's why we're not going to talk about any of them. Except steak. We're going to talk about steak. Before that, though, let's begin with chicken. Throughout the South is a fast-food chain called Pollo Tropical. With its Cuban-inspired flavors, it may be my favorite fast food anywhere. Grilled chicken, which is served with rice and beans, is the signature dish. The chicken is clearly marinated in some combination of citrus juices, but after eating it several times I still didn't know what they were. That was before the invention of the Internet. I know now, or at least suspect, that they marinate their chicken in a combination of pineapple juice and bitter orange juice. And therein lay a problem. Bitter orange juice is not impossible to find here, but

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB Yield: 1 serving Robert Cohen I St. Louis post-Dispatch

Grilling season is here. This Terrorized Steak involves creating a paste of fresh rosemary, fresh marjoram, plenty of garlic, olive oil, salt, tvvo kinds of pepper and cognac. it isn't easy, either. So we simply substituted two parts oflime juice and one part of orangejuiceforthe bitter orange. That may sound like an awful lot of lime juice, but apparentlybitterorange juice is, in fact, quite bitter. I made it, and I grilled it, and you cannot argue with the result, a bright and lively citrus flavor that perfectly accompanies the chicken and the light char from the grill. And it is not bitter at all. About that steak: My favorite way of making steak in the whole world comes from a cookbook put out by the San Francisco restaurant Rose Pistola. It's called TerrorizedSteak,and itinvolves creatinga paste offresh rosemary, fresh marjoram, plenty of garlic, olive oil, salt, two kinds of pepper and cognac. You have to respect any recipe that uses a splash or two of cognac. This recipe is sublime; you get a powerfully flavorful piece of meat with a superb outer char and a hearty, perfectl y cooked interior.I have madethe dish many timestowonderful effect,so naturally on my last trip to San Francisco I stopped in at Rose Pistola specifically to try its own version of Terrorized Steak. It wasn't terrible. It was just disappointing. I've had worse steaks, though not m any. Whatever they did to it, they didn't follow the recipe in their own cookbook, becausethat stuffisawesome. A well-grilled piece of meat, of course, deserves a well-grilled vegetable. Asparagus is always appropri-

ate, but I have been eating so much asparagus lately that Ireached instead forthe old reliable, grilled corn. Grilling corn is ridiculously easy. Soak corn, still in its husk, in water for at least 15 minutes. Place on a grill. Cook until done. Eat carefully — it's hot — and savor the deep, nutty flavor that comes from the grill. And because the grill was still hot, I decided to grill a dessert. I don't think I made up the idea of a grilled chocolate-and-marmalade sandwich, I believe I read about it some years ago, but Ihad wanted tomake one for some time. Simply spread marmalade liberally on one slice ofbread, and cover with an ounce or so of chocolate. Top with another slice ofbread, brush both sides with a little melted butter, and place on the grill. Cook on both sides until you get lovely grill marks on the bread and the m elted chocolate startsoozing out from the center. It is so good, you just might want to skip the meat and thevegetablesaltogether.

Recipe by Daniel Neman

Note: Sour orangejuice is also called bitter orangejuice and TERRORIZED is often available at Hispanic STEAK food markets. Yield: 4 servings 1. Pat chicken dry. With edge of knife or mortar and pestle, mash together garlic, cilantro, jalapeno, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper until it forms a coarse paste. A sprinkling of kosher salt will help it form a paste, if necessary. Spread paste evenly over chicken. 2. Mix together sour orange juice and pineapple juice in a large bowl. Add chicken to the juices, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight. 3. Arrange grill for indirect cooking and heat to medium hot. Place chicken on the side of the grill away from the heat, and cover. Cook 40 to 50 minutes for white meat, 1 hour for

1. Place chocolate on 1 slice of bread, covering as much of the bread as you can. You may have to break or chop the chocolate to do so. Spread the marmalade on the other slice, and put the slices together as a sandwich. Brush melted butter on both sides of the sandwich. 2.Place on a medium hot grill and cook until both pieces of bread are toasted and have grill marks and the chocolate is melted, turning once. Covering the grill will help it cook faster. Per sandwich: 415 calories; 16g fat; 4g saturated fat; 15mg cholesterol; 5g protein; 65g carbohydrate; 40g sugar; 3g fiber; 220mg sodium; 130mg calcium.

Continued from Page 2B Pizza dough: Pour 1 cup warm water into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle in1teaspoon active dryyeast and1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt, "/4 cup olive oil and 3 cups flour. Knead with a dough hook until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes. Shape dough into a ball. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest until dough has doubled, about 1"/2 hours. Divide dough into 6 balls. Set balls on a lightly oiled baking sheet, cover with plastic and let rest until puffy, about 30 minutes. Dust each ball lightly with flour and roll out into an 8-inch round. Use right away or stack up, separated by parchment paper, slip into a zip-top bag and refrigerate. Chilled dough will produce a chewier but equally delicious, crust.

1. Grill: Light a medium-hot fire. Lightly oil grates. Grill dough until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. 2.Top: Spread 3 tablespoons ricotta onto each pizza, leaving 1 inch of perimeter crust bare. Grind on pepper. Heap 1 cup arugula on each. Sprinkle with salt. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon lemon oil. Enjoy. Note: Stocked with other olive oils or available at specialty stores. Its intense lemon flavor is worth tracking down. Or substitute 2 tablespoons olive oil mixed with the finely grated zest of 1 lemon.

The Associated Press -

A company that has flown unmanned capsules to the Space Station unveiled a spacecraft designed to ferry up to seven astronauts to low-Earth orbit that SpaceX founder Elon Musk says will lowerthe costofgoing to space. The futuristic, cone-headed craft dubbed Dragon V2 featured landing legs that pop out and a propulsion system designed to land almost anywhere"with the accuracy of a helicopter," Musk said at the Southern California rocket builder's headquarters near Los Angeles International Airport. The technology would enable rapid reloading and reusabil ity ofthe spacecraft, he said. He noted that in the past, many rockets and space craft return to Earth in a fireball, rendering them unusable. 'You can just reload, propel it and fly again," Musk said. "This is extremely important forrevolutionizing accessto space because as long as we continue to throw away rockets and space crafts, we will never truly have access to space. IQ1 always be incredibly expensive." "If an aircraft is thrown away with each flight, nobody will be able to fly or very few icanl," he said.'The same is true with rockets and spacecraft." The capsule also features a bright, sleek interior with swing-up computer screens at thecontrolstation,a two-level seating system to

The spacecraft also has more powerful engines, better heat shields, the landing legs and backup parachutes to ensure a soft landing. In a NASA briefing with reporters last year, Musk said Dragon V2 would look futuristic like an"alien spaceship"and promised"it's going to be cool."

agency has said it wants U.S. companies to fill the void by 2017 and has doled out seed money to spur innovation. SpaceX — short for Space Exploration Technologies Corp.— has made four cargo runs to the giant orbiting outpostsome 200 milesabove Earth. Just last month, its Dragon capsule splashed into the Pacific, returning nearly 2 tons of science experiments and old equipment. Companies competing forthe rightto ferry station astronauts need to design a spacecraftthatcan seata crew of four or more and be equipped with life support systems and an escape hatch in case of emergency. SpaceX has said it's designing a seven-seat spacecraft.
