By Kelly Ducote The Observer

Twenty-somethings weren't the only people celebratingtheirgraduation from Eastern Oregon University this weekend. For two La Grande men, the commencement ceremony marks the beginning of a new chapter for them — no m atter theirage. Ronn Witcraft says he doesn't feel old and that he has much more to give. The 71-year-old veteran received his diploma Saturday, a day he said ranks among the best in his life. He was one of 378 graduateswho participated in the ceremony at Community Stadium and went across the stage in a wheelchair due to health complications. Witcraft was among the more than 700 students who earned bachelor degrees this term.Eastern alsoconferred 80 master' sdegrees,fivecertifi catesand threeassociate's degrees this spring. Witcraft started his college career 54 years ago at the University of Oregon. Two stints in the militaryNavy and Air Force — and a career flying planes later, he has finally completed his bachelor's degree in communication studies with a minor in business. "I don't think I'm going for my master's this year," W itcraft said. On Fridayafternoon, a crowd at McKenzie Theatre in Loso Hall gave a standing ovation for Witcraft, who was named the communications studies student of the year during the Student Awards Assembly. More than the student of the year, fiiend and fellow graduate Jess Roberts, 49, said Witcraft is a hero to many Eastern students. During his time at EOU, Witcraft helped re-establish the university's Veterans Club. Witcraft and Roberts said being nontraditional and older students at Eastern was never weird. Instead, they were both looked to as mentors. Roberts, who spent three decades in the computer industry after studying electrical engineering, decided severalyears agothatitwas time for a change.

Warm dry weather promptedtheOregon Department of Forestry to declare the official start of fire season Tuesday. A releasefrom the state said while the May rains delayed the early drying of fuels in Northeast Oregon, fire managers are concerned about the warm, dry and windy weather this past week. 'The warming and drying trend that we are seeing now, along with the windy conditions across much of the area, will lead to quickly drying fuels. We want to make sure that we are prepared with the prevention measures that help us to minimize human-caused fire starts," Steve Meyer, unit forester for La Grande and Baker, said.

About the series

On Friday and Saturday mornings, Royce Irby has one thing on his mind: yard sales. The 91-year-old will get his first set ofhearing aids later this month and though he has glasses, he doesn't need them to drive. He doesn't drive much anymore but down his quiet Summerville road,anyway. Last month, though, he left the calm of the Grande Ronde Valley and visited bustling Washington, D.C., as part of Honor Flight, a program that flies veterans to thecapitaland gives them a chance to see the m emorials dedicated to their service. "It's something you see on the boob tube," Irby said of Washington, D.C."It was awesome. It kind of gets to you." Irby and more than 45 other World War II veterans from Eastern Oregon spent several days in mid-May touring the capital and seeing its landmarks. Irby's favorite was the Lincoln Memorial. "It was more than I thought it would be," he said of the trip, which is free to veterans. Irby, who served in the Navy on the USS New Mexico during the Second World War, was accompanied by his caretaker and neighbor Pat Pacheco, who has cared for him the past four years. "I'm very fortunate I have this lady as my caregiver," he said, noting that Pacheco pushed him around in a wheelchair during the trip. Going to Washington, D.C., was a major first for Irby, who had never visited the capitalbefore.He had also never flown on a large commercial jet. "I've been in lots of little ones, joy rides and stufflike

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE I666

The Observer

OUR VIEW

I s >

Col'C e 01

oesn' wor Nothing more clearly illustrates the divide that now undeniably exists in Oregon between urban and rural than the recent passage of a bill in the state Legislature that will mandate businesses to furnish sick leave to their workers.

'"FA.

The bill — opposed by Republicans — is yet another example of good intentions run amuck and a one-size-fits-all approach to a state that consists of diverse economic engines. The bill is designed so that employers with at least 10 people on the payroll must deliver up to 40 hours of paid leave per year, starting in January. Smaller firms will be required to furnish unpaid leave. Democratic lawmakers nearly unanimously supported the measure. Republicans tried to derail the bill and brought up several key points in their opposition. One point was that the bill would be bad for business. Another point was that the legislation would hurt the agriculture industry. Both points carry plenty of relevance. The bill could very well damage business and hurt the agriculture industry. Yet the businesses that it could hurt the most are the ones that are so far under the metroarea radar to be oflittle significance to many. Small farms or modest industries tied to the agriculture engine of the state don't typically secure a whole lot of attention, though their overall impact — in terms ofjobs and economic impact in remote rural areas of the state — is huge. So any kind of state-managed measure that could potentially cost these companies money tends to gain more than a passing glance. The problem with the entire issue is that usually common sense and restrained, dignified long-term thought evaporates. Instead of recognizing that the state's economic engines are diverse with organic strengths and weaknesses, the conversation quickly devolves into a human rights issue. If you do not supporta mandated work-leave policy,then you are somehow immune to the wants and needs of your fellow human beings and, essentially, wrong. No good employer ignores the wants and needs of his or her workers. No one is suggesting the mandated worker-leave policy should be scrapped. What we are suggesting, though, is that some kind of exemption for the agriculture industry should have been part of the bill. The exemption could have modified the number ofhours or days required during harvest season for farmers or otherwise found ways to recognize that the agriculture industry in Oregon exists along a diferent paradigm than other industries. Instead, what voters received was another example of a party in power disregarding an option for dignified negotiation and prudent forethought and pushing a bill through. That kind of"damn the torpedoes" approach has become a hallmark of this Legislature, and the state often appears to be run by a ruling junta that does not care about anyone else's viewpoints. As long as the set agenda is achieved, regardless if it makes any sense, Democrats can claim victory. That kind of political scorched earth policy is simply unsustainable. And it shortchanges voters. Not a few, whacked-out right-wing voters. But a large percentage of Oregon's electorate.

indsey Graham of South Carolina on Thursday — the very day the bachelor senator was dubbed a"bro with no ho" by his fellow Senate Republican Mark Kirk of Illinois — proclaimed himself tobe"on therightsideofhistory." It ain't so, Bro. What led Graham to believe himself on history's side was his introduction of legislation banning all abortions after five months. But while the verdict of the ages has yet to be returned, Graham, a GOP presidential candidate, certainly is not onthe rightside oflogic. The procedures Graham seeks to ban accountforlessthan 1.5percent ofall abortions in the U.S., and those are often the most difficult cases, such as the woman who discovers late in pregnancy that she has cancer. Even in the extremely unlikely event Graham were to persuade his colleagues and President Obama to agree to the bill, it would make barely a dent in the number of abortions. By contrast, ifGraham were to supportefforts to make contraception cheaper and more widely available, the number of abortions would almost certainly plummet. Alas, politics gets in the way. Opposing late-term abortions does little to reduce abortions, butit works well with Republican presidentialprimary voters.Broadening the use of contraceptives would seriously reduce abortions, butit would be poisonous to the GOP primary electorate. The paradox was highlighted in an Associated Press survey this week of stateby-state changes in abortions since 2010. Some states that have passed the most stringent antiabortion laws in recent years, including Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma, have seen their

Doctors told her she wouldn't regain her mobility for a year, a prognosis Claycomb refusedtoaccept.

"Cami's mother and sister were taking turns reading aloud to her when I was there," Gillis said."She has such a gentle presence and is obviously very determined."

Permits can be acquired at the La Grande, Baker City, Wallowa or Pendleton stateforestry offices. Landowners who burned slash piles last fall and this past spring are encouraged to check the piles to ensure that they are completely out and all heat is gone. It is not uncommon for slash piles to retainheat for several months after the actual burning. Logging and other industrial operations must meet requirements for fire prevention, such as fire tools, water supply and watchman service, when those operations are occurring on lands protected by the state.Contact a local stewardshipforester at any state forestry office for more information. Campfires must be left dead out. Recreationists are reminded that campfires need to be attended and fully extinguished beforebeing left.Get permission from the landowner priorto starting a campfire.

and encouragement made the difference when Claycomb felt like giving up. "I'd read the notes and think,'Somany people have faith in me, I can't let them down,"' she said. After taking fall term off, Claycomb returned to her studies and her job at the library without skipping a beat. She graduated on time with magna cum laude honors, earning a double major in English and history with a minor in Spanish. Joy McAndie, library technician and Claycomb's supervisor, is amazed by her resolve.

Troubling newspaper headlines amplifying the crisis of the day from Bend to Benghazi. TV anchors replayingrepeatedly the latest police-involved shooting and beating the drums ofdiscord.Ne tblogspredicting an imminent Yellowstone supervolcano eruption and impendingdoom. A lot has been made of what's wrong with America. On a recent Saturday, I saw whatis right. The occasio n was thecelebration oflifeof my brother-in-law, Stuart, who died at age 53 afteratlnee-yearbattlewith thyroid cancer. Nasty, ugly, pernicious foe. Heroic measures of the medical community slamminginto a brick wall. Stuartwas afi refi ghterand an emergency medical technician. He played an important role in the life ofhis small town. It seemed the whole town, plus a significant portion of several others, turned out at the fne station that morning to pay their respects as a giant American fl ag,unfurled kom thetopofa fi re truck's ladder to heaven, flapped valiantlyin the crystal-blue sky overhead. As Stuart's sister-in-law, Roseann Groom said,'We knew Stuart was important to our family, but on this day we got to see how important one person could be to so many communities." When the pallbearers entered at the beginning of the service, when we had all squished together up kont, when I had a chance to look around, there was fittingly one empty seat beside me. It was along the aisle, where the lagbearers,bagpiperand fi f refi ghting brigade totingsilveraxeswould soon march. That empty chair, this day, belonged to Stuart.

JEFF PETERSEN ment vehide, one of many leading the 40-mile procession kom the fire hall to the cemetery in the hometown ofhis youth where Stuart's asheswere laid to rest. It was a moving ceremony, in more ways than one. As we arrived at a bigger city, 10 miles into our journey, we were met by four iretrucksthataccompanied the300-car f procession through town. Ten miles farther along, we came to a small town.There,afi re enginewasparked along the street and two firefighters, a big share of the total department, stood at attention. Another 10 miles down the road, we reached another slightly bigger town where fire engines and ambulances blocked intersections to allow the convoy to proceed with proper dignity. Ten more miles along we reached our ultimate destination, the hometown of Stuart's youth. There, more fire engines stopped traffic kom side streets and people lined Main Street showing their respect. During all this hoopla, I reflected on my nearly seven years of knowing Stuart. He was the biggest cheerleader upon learning his sister, Wonder, and I were to be married, and served as a groomsman at our 9-10-11wedding. He taught me, a reticent ScandinavianAmerican, the proper method ofbear hugging. This bear of a man had a heart as big as the Eagle Caps and was a voice of reason in an increasingly noisy, overlyrushed, cantankerous, dog-eat-dog world. I thought of Stuart's seven grandchildren, induding twin boys born just a few months earlier, and what I would tell them if they ever asked about their grandpa. The biggest compliment I could give is Stuart was a man worth emulating. He cared. He gotinvolved and made a difference in his community. Ifyou want to pick a role model, start with Stuart. Perhaps his sister-in-law, the aforementioned Roseann, summed up the day best. "Small towns and the people who live there are the heart of America," Roseanne said.'We got to see ion this dayl just how big that heart 1s.

La Grande's first golf course was located about a mile west of La Grande on the north side of the Old Oregon Trail (just above where the weigh scales are now on Interstate 84). People who look closely at the photo can see men getting ready to tee off. The golf course was used from about 1911 to 1928 and was abandoned when the clubhouse burned. It should be noted that some of the foundation of the clubhouse still remains and can be seen from the highway.

he Elgin Chamber of Commerce is one of several key organizations that rely heavily on its volunteers. In fact, many of the same volunteersoften represent several other Elgin groups as well. The volunteers and members are the heart and soul of the chamber. Recognizing the dedication of these hardworking individuals, the chamber breaksbriefl y during the summer for some well-deserved rest and recreation. The break gives people time to rejuvenate, refresh and reflect on the many accomplishments collectively they have brought to the chamber and other organizations. When they return to complete the remaining year, all look forward to being recharged and energized to bring fourth greatness for the remaining time. This brings to mind how much we depend on our volunteers, the deep appreciation for all they do, and the little amount oftime ittakestobe a volunteer. As a volunteer myself, I realize it takes only one hour a month to make a difference. It's an hour that will create a feeling of fulfillment and rewardforbeing able to contributepositively to the community. The power of volunteering cannot be measured in words. It is an experience that invests each person individually. Thanks to our volunteers and members, the chamber has reaped many rewards this past year including a successful membership drive, a cleaner community, colorful additions of flowers and banners, prosperous businesses, as well as collaboration with other organizations to strengthen community events such as Riverfest, Stampede and Opera House events. During the chamber respite, however,volunteers and members will continue to be on hand to assist in the ongoing operations. At the same time, we would like to express our gratitude to each and every personfortheireffortsin making our community great. It only takes one hour a month.

PacifiCorp plans to reduce coal usage

3unction City police chiefsues city

BEND — Recent filings by PacifiCorp show that the energy company plans to meet nearly all new power demands across six states through conservation measures during the next decade. The Bulletin of Bend reported that the company wants to stop burning coal by 2046 and halve the amount of power it generates through coal over the next 14 years, accordingto itsplans. PacifiCorp is the parent company of Oregon electric provider Pacific Power. It also owns or has ownerships in coal-fired plants in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Montana. The company has faced criticism for its reliance on coal but now is building a solar plant and planning for a gas-fi red plantby 2028. A spokesman for the Sierra Club said PacifiCorp's plan doesn't do enough to reduce its reliance on coal.

"This is my first year here," she said. "Sometimes it is a little more nervewracking when it's close to home, but it was a lot of fun. It was a nice crowd and a good arena." Her horse, Booker, had a bit of trouble getting around the first barrel, which was one of a couple contributors to the higher time.

BRONCS Continued from Page 9A McBeth will have some stifFcompetition, as 13ofthe 18 registered bronc cowboys are national qualifiers. Brandon Clark from Baker City is a 2013 premier past qualifier. Haines'Taylor Kerns second place at the Cattle Barons Ranch Bronc Riding in Pendleton last year, and Gus King was the Idaho Cowboy Association champion last year and a national finals qualifier. This year's bull riders are competing for $6,000 in prize money that will be awarded to the top four finishers. Wild horse racing returns to Broncs and Bulls, bringing even more excitement to the rodeo known for fast action. Daggett said Jason Smith of Burns, the reigning world champion, is scheduled to compete. Heading up this year's arena entertainment is Joey"Hashbrown" Hackett, a nationally known Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association

barrel man from Texarkana, Texas, and a former bull fighter. "He has acts from California to Canada. He's booked every weekend, so we are very fortunate to get him," Daggett said. The rodeo starts at 2:30 p.m. at the Wallowa County Fairgrounds in Enterprise. First up is the mutton busting for the kids, followed by two rounds of wild horse racing and three rounds each ofbronc and bull riding.

The Ring of Fire and $100 the Hard Way, two crowd favorites, return. The winner of the Ring of Fire is the last person standing in the arena with a Mexican fighting bull, and $100 the Hard Way challenges contestants to grab

a $100 bill rubber banded to a bull's horn. Admission is $12 for adults and half price forhalfpintsup to 12 yearsold.A selectfew sights are available for tailgating — $100 for 10 tic kets allows a party towatch therodeo from the back of their own pickup.

Blackhawks onbrink of title The Associated Press

NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS

Kris Versteeg could have sulked or pouted when he was pulled out of the lineup for the Chicago Blackhawks. Instead, the veteran forwardproved he belonged on theice. While Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane have struggled to find any room in the Stanley Cup Final against Tampa Bay, the Blackhawks have used their depth to move within one victory of their third NHL title in six seasons. Playing alongside two other players who have been a healthy scratch this postseason, Versteeg assisted on Antoine Vermette's winning goal in Chicago's 2-1 victory on Saturday night. "I think it's always about staying ready," Versteeg said Sunday."I guess that starts in practice. Whether it be myself or iBryan Bickelll or Vermy or whoever is not in the lineup on any given night, we all feel we're goodplayers,w eallfeelwe're playersthat can contribute. I don't think that confidence is lost in us." The Blackhawks' third and fourth lines are a big reason why they can clinch the Stanley Cup at home for the first time since 1938 with a victory in Game 6 on Monday night. But the Lightning won Game 3 in Chicago and are confident they can do it again. ''We'll find a way," captain Steven Stam-

SHANNON Continued ~om Page 9A been at school," he said. He explained that having a constant figurehead can go a long way to building the program. "La Grande is looking for a little consistency," he said, noting that Matt Wolcott and Casey Dietz, who were on the stafF a year ago, are also returning."I made a commitment last year and wanted to honor that." Building that needed consistency, along with focusing on fundamentals and getting a higher number of kids out, are going to be justafew piecesto the puzzle. The Tigers lost 13 seniors — nearly half of the roster — from a team that went 5-4,won the Greater Oregon League and reached the first round of the Class 4A playoffs in what was Smith's only year as head coach. But that was La Grande's first winning season since 2006, and just the sixth time in the lasttw odecades theTigersreached the first round. "Last year was a great year, and there's

kos said.'There's really no choice that we have." Stamkos and Kane are still looking for their first goal of the series, and Toews has contributed one goal and two assists. But Vermette has two game-winning goals in the final, Teuvo Teravainen scored in each of the first two games, and Andrew Shaw has agoal and two assists. In an incredibly tight battle for the Stanley Cup — only the second final to begin with five one-goal games — the contributionsfrom Chicago'srole players are making a difFerence. ''We know that one of our strengths as a team and organization is our depth," coach Joel Quenneville said."Sometimes you use it." Tampa Bay's depth was tested Saturday night when second-leading scorer Nikita Kucherov crashed into the Chicago net in the fi rstperiod,leading to a biggerrolefor speedy rookie Jonathan Drouin and breaking up the Lightning's successful "Triplets" line. Kucherov, who turns 22 on Wednesday, flew with the team to Chicago, and coach Jon Cooper said he was "in considerably better shape today than he was last night."

some talented kids coming back," Shannon said.'They desire to have their talents used. Whatever we can do to be successful is what we'll do." Shannon hopes to bring on another offensive coach, which would allow him to focus more attention on the defensive side of the ball. His desire, though, is to keep the spread offense run by La Grande in recent years. "I think ofFensively we need to do about the same thing. Our strength on offense is our skill players," he said.'The ofFense we ran last year — the spread, the quick tempo — that's advantageous forskillplayers." The defensive philosophy may change, but it would be a move to better suit the players the team has. "Defensively, I think we're going to switch to a 3-4 where we can use our skill players some more," he said. While there are concerns ahead for the Tigers regarding team depth and youthfulness, Shannon has a positive outlook on what thefuture may hold forLa Grande football. "I'm excited about the possibility," he said. "I'm excited about the players coming back."

Union'sWill Hulden prepares to toss his rope in the steer roping event at the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show Sunday.

EOLS Continued ~om Page 9A "I have been running barrels since I was 12 or 13 years old," she said."I went to college and rodeo'd, and went to amateurrodeos after that. So I've been working my way into the pros a little bit." Taylor Jacob of Carmine, Texas, won the event with a time of17.49 seconds. Will Hulden of Union was not only making his first EOLS competition, he was also making his first foray into professional competition in steer roping. In his two runs Sunday, Hulden earned a time of 21.2 seconds in the first one but didn't record a time in the second. Even though he didn't place, that first run was something he hopes to build on. 'This was actually my irstrodeo forsteerroping," f Hulden said."It wasn't my first rodeo but the first one forsteerroping.Iused to be a steerwrestler.Sojusttogeta time fel tgood." Hulden, who said he was born and raised in Union and lives right down the street from the EOLS, was chomping at the bit all week to compete. "It was just exciting because I've been waiting around all week," he said."It couldn't get here fast enough. It's a buzzkill now that it's

Brady Portenier of Caldwell, Idaho, returned to the EOLS after missing last year's event with a broken leg to win the bull riding with s acore of82 points. "I was here two years ago, but last year I was hurt," he said."Soitwascoolcoming back and winning some money. I had a real good bull, and it feels good winning this. I always have a lot of fun here in Union."

Other winners included Dakota W. Eldridge of Elko, Nevada, who took home the all-around title. Clint Laye, from Cadogan, Alberta, Canada, won the bareback riding with a score of 83 points.

A stirring ceremony, Bnd reUnlons

with hiends Yesterday was Flag Day and last Friday was Daughters of the American Revolution iDARl meeting day, so the Memorial Day service held Monday, May 25, at Grandview Cemetery in La Grande is still fresh in my mind. The DAR Lone Pine Tree Chapter of La Grande/Baker City and the American Legion Post 43 sponsored the flyover of an F-15 piloted by Lt. Colonel "Coma" Ebner of the 173rd Fighter Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard based in Klamath Falls."Coma," and I use his nickname in an appreciative way, we were told, has attended our Eastern Oregon University and was happy for the opportunity of the flight some 400 mph, a thousand feet aboveground overthe Memorial Day services. At the very time of 11:30 a.m. the 242 flags commemorating those who have served in our nation's military were fluttering in a light breeze, Pastor Roger Cochran was closing his service remarks in prayer, and the two young folks from the La Grande High School band, Jordan Hickey and Sarah Hansen, were raising their instruments to their lips to play taps when the airplane arrived. At the same time in Baker City, the ceremony of Avenue of Flags was being held at Mount Hope Cemetery with County Commissioner Bill Harvey as guest speaker and Kathleen Cathey from Sen.Ron Wyden's offi cereading a letter from him in his absence. The F-15 silhouetted against our gray sky couldn't have been more perfect as it dipped its wing to us in La Grande and headed off for Baker City to dothesame thing there.Ido believe there couldn't have been a dry eye in that crowd attending the service.

Ravishing rhodies What a wonderful time of year it is with rhododendrons blooming around here and there. Our areadoesn'thavemany compared to Portland, but that just means we need to enjoy them all the more. We have what we consider fairly large bushes for here, but in Portland or on the coast they would be little shrubs. I realize not everyone knows how to deal with rhododendrons if they have one, so I want to share a bit with you thatIhave learned by trialand error. I was chatting with a man in the store earlier this spring and he said his rhododendronshad buds in the winter.He thought it was some rare phenomenon, but actually that is how it should be.

These cookies are topped with a dollop of Nutella.

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

I find that sometimes simple recipes are the best. When I recently had dinner guestsover,Ifirstconsidered making some fancy dessert, but then Idecided that cookiesare comfort food for many of us and decidedto shareone ofmy alltimefavorit e recipes. I learned how to make the My Very Favorite Cookies recipe almost two years ago, but I have yet to make them for fear that I would eat them all myself. Ihave enjoyed these cookiesfor many years at the Chocolatine restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California. There was not a time thatIvisited thatplace and didn't order one of these cookies. They are easy to make and hands down the best cookie that I have ever tasted. I am also sharing with you my secondfavoriterecipe,which is Italian Wedding Cookies. To no surprise they have very similar ingredients, and they are also easy to make. My third recipe is a bit of a twist on chocolate chip cookies,the secretingredient being ground-up oatmeal. I found it a bit tricky to filter the oatmeal with a sifter but the cookie has a great texture and just enough chocolate. If you love nuts I suggest you add '/4 cup of your favorites to the ingredients list. I want to share a tip with you that I recently learned from the French pastry chef who taught me how to make My Very FavoriteCookiesrecipe.Ifyou areout of confectioners sugar you can put granulated sugar in the food processorand grind itup to get the powdered sugar. I actually just had to use this method for the first time last week. I hope you all stay cool and please let me know what you are cooking. Cheers!

DORY Continued from Page 1B Earlier we had been touched by the 29th annual memorial Avenue of Flags service sponsored by the American Legion Post 43, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 43, Sons of the American Legion Squadron 43, American Legion Riders Chapter 43, and Veterans of Foreign Wars Mt. Emily Post 2990. Also helping with the service was the singing of the national anthem by Melissa Chamberlain, the presentationofcolorsby the Army National Guard 3rd Battalion, 116th Armored Cavalry, and the Boy Scouts of America Troop 514 in chair placement and program distribution as well as helping Navy veteran Fred Alexis in raising the American flag. We are so grateful for all their faithfulness in this annual commemoration. Standing recognition was given the Daughters of the American Revolution, Lone Pine Tree Chapter of La Grande/Baker City, for their diligent work in doing the necessary paperwork to arrange for the flyovers. I lack further information on the memorial service in Baker City but both counties were involved through their veterans' organizations. This annual Memorial Day service always stirs me because the memorial includes my husband and other relatives, butIhad learned a few daysbefore thatthe pilot of George's crew, Herb Friedman of Pearl River, New York, had just died. Herb cared for his crew members and their wives as a mother hen, I do believe. AfterGeorge died in 2008,Herb called me &om across the continent every six months to see if I was doing OK. I suffer now all over again. Now the only remaining member of the crew who met for the last time in reunion in 1992 is Vade Giles in Texas, the oldest member of the lot of us. I suppose that the family relationship between crew members builds in every war. Ours happens to have been World War II just prior to the ending of the hostilities and our men were poised for action in the Pacific Ocean. That they didn't have to gowas a blessing to us wives, for we all gained our husbands even though I caught George as soon as he

HOME 8 LIVING want the garden to be."' Gluck notes that her business iscreating beautifulgardens, not dog runs. But planning a place for Fido to relieve himself is essential to keeping plants alive, she said."There's no way you can have a dog peeing in the garden without killing the plants. It's throwing money away." Plan where your dog will do her business, Gluck suggests, and then train her to go there and only there. Gluck typically createsa hidden area forclients' dogs, screening with plants if necessary. • Hardy plants work best. Fragile plants won't stand up to thestress oflarge or active dogs. 'We don't want plants that break off easily," Gluck said. "They won't work with dogs or small children, either." Trees and shrubs mostly do fine, as do hostas and other hardy perennials with thick leaves. Gluck recommends grasses. Precious plants can always be potted and placed away from play areas. • Be aware of toxicity. Another consideration for owners of dogs who like to chew is avoiding toxic plants. Lindsay recently went to great lengths to designa landscape freeoftoxic plants for a woman who trains guide dogs and welcomes new puppiesfrequently.TheASPCA website has a lengthy list of toxicplants that petowners should avoid. • Go grass-free.

You see, it happened this way long after the war had beenlaid torestand thedifferent ones had gone about new lives out of uniform. George and I were living up on the hill in 1988 when a telephone call came. George answered. "Are you the Fleshman who ...?" the voice asked.

That was w here the idea ofa real reunion in 1989 was fostered and, of course, George offered to be the first host at Edelweiss Acres on the hill with side trips through Union County, Walla Walla, and over into Idaho. They wereabletofind Herb Friedman, the pilot; Charles "Red" Gilly, the bombardier; and engineer Richard "Doug" Douglas. Happily they and their wives were able to make it to the reunion with the exception of "Red" and Lorraine. We had a wonderful time with the 'Vade! Vade Giles?Where eight of us. are you?"

quent patching is the ultimate challenge for dog owners. Some find it too much of a hassle and do away with grass altogether. "If you want a yard designed for your dog, having grass is going to be a big challenge," Petchenik said. "There's no grass on my property at all." Solutions will vary, depending on the type of property and the breed and number of dogs. Lindsay, who works in the Pacific Northwest, where rain and mud are perpetualchallenges,has a blend of cedar chips shefavors for pathways. One of her clients, who favoreda more traditional look for her Tudor home, installed synthetic grass. • H ardscapesmatter,too. Consider canines when choosing materials for pathways or patios. Gravel can get stuck in delicate paws. Concrete can be too hard,especiall y for aging pets with joint issues. • Accept limitations. Dogs and gardens can exist in harmony, but modifications are likely necessary. Wide paths and raisedberms clearly mark areas designedfordogs and those for plants. Since many dogs like to patrol perimeters, avoid elaborate plantings in those areas — or leavea space for petsto squeeze through, suggested Lindsay. When executed well, the dog-friendlygarden isa haven for both pet and owner. "Ideally the garden is a place where the dog can romp around with the owners and everyone can have a great time," Gluck said.

RHODIES Continued ~om Page 1B I burst his bubble by telling him so, but surely he would want to know! They keep their leaves too! As soon as the blooms we have now are through we carefully pinch or snip them out, being careful to not disturb the new growth coming out below them. There are from two to four new shoots and at the end is the start of the buds that will bloom next year. They grow during the summer and then are there all winter. Once it warms up in the spring they start to grow and eventually bloom, starting the processalloveragain. Do be sure to give them plenty of water and a fertilizer for "acid-loving" plants. I try to put the fertilizer on several times during the summer, but Dr. Clark told me to just throw pine needles in under them. She has pine trees, but I don't. Did you know you can prune rhododendrons?Iused to be nervous ofit,butit can encourage some healthy new growth. I just prune off any that look bad or dead and now and then just to even out the bush. One man said the best rhododendrons he has were some he moved from an area where cows had eaten them off for a number of years. He said they shot up new growth and were amazing within a few years and that is how he learned that pruning is a good thing, and I learned from him. Just one last thing I should tell you if you are wanting to buy some rhododendrons is that in our area they do best on the north side of a building to protect them from the winter wind. I have seen some of the early kind on the south side though ... so what do I know? Reach the author by email at Crisj~r@eoni. com.

And so you will, provided you arealwaystrueto yourselfand avoidcoming under the infl uence ofanyone who might overshadowyou. You must therefore step out on your own at the first opportrinlty — and indeed, again and again.
