Paul Estes, OSU forestry Extension agent from La Grande, said Pubols' father farmed some of the open land until the late 1970s.

La Grande Police Chief Brian Harvey fears that the number of people in Union County driving while under the influence may soon increase. And the reason will have nothing to do with alcohol. Harvey is convinced that as medical marijuana dispensaries open in La Grande, the number of peopledriving under the infl uence of marijuana will rise significantly. "I'm very concerned about a possible increase in marijuana-impaired drivers," Harvey said. La Grande presently has no medical marijuana dispensaries but one, Green Apothecary, may open here in the near future. The City of La Grande Planning Division granted Green Apothecary a permit on May 29 to operate. Harvey said an increase in the number of people driving while impaired by marijuana has happened in other areas where marijuanabecame more accessible,leadingto tragedy.

If Central is renovated, much of the money would cover the replacement ofitsdeteriorating roofand heating system and the purchase of new windows. It would cost $9.6 million to replace Central as its stands today. The facilities committee recommended that a larger $14.6 million structure be built to replace it on the school's play field. The new building would have significantly more classroom space, eliminating the need for the five modulars Central currently uses.

OKAYP

e e e With the recent Veterans A6'airs scandal taking up so much of the news cycle nationally the last few weeks, the front page story in the June 16 La Grande Observer regarding Vietnam veteran Donald Remick was significant in a number of ways. Last November, Remick was on his way from Colorado to Portland, where he planned to look for a new job and start a new life. But along the way, near Ontario on theIdaho-Oregon border,hehad a fiat tire. Things went fiom good, to bad, to worse. He changed the fiat and continued west on Interstate 84. Near Baker City he discovered he'd lost his wallet, probably while fixing the car. With the wallet went all his identification, and all his money. Remick had been paying for his medications, so losing his wallet provided a myriad of issues. Remick's health problems include heart trouble and respiratory illness he said is caused by exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. When he got off the fieeway in La Grande, he followed signs to the Department of Veterans A6'airs Community Based Outpatient Clinic. There he told his story. The clinic took care ofhis immediate medical needs, and phoned Byron Whipple, Union County's veteran service officer who at that time was focusing some of his efforts on the problem of homeless veterans. 'The clinic calls me up and says we have a vet in need," Whipple said in the story.'We had the resources to help, the American Legion military support fund, the VFW food bank, and certain benevolent veterans who provided cards that got him meals and transportation. When I got the call, the whole organization was there. We planned for him to weather the storm until we figured out the next step." The next step, ultimately, involved Remick landing a job working for Aramark at Eastern Oregon University, bringing a happy ending to what could have been a tragic story. Remick's ordeal highlights the good that can come when a community and organizations come together to help a veteran who has hit hard times, and it should serve as a reminder that this nation as a whole and communities like ours cannot ever forget the service these men and women performed for us. Not forgetting, though, means honoring people like Remick, but also making sure our veterans have access to all the help they deserve. That means holding the federal government accountable for the care of these veterans, and it will probably mean funneling more money into agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs. Either way, though, our veterans, such as Remick, deserve to be helped, and not forgotten.

Why should a building inadequate and unsafe as a court facility be adequate for displaced parents and children? How long is the proposed new court facility as designed promised to last? Rather than being hung up on placing the new court building next to the existing jail, perhaps effort should be made to relocate the jail away from the university. Perhaps a shelter next to the jail is less than ideal. How many architects have been challenged to come up with a building and adequate parking without this mindless energy and resource-wasting, environment-polluting destruction? Do we have a provision forrecallof county commissioners? Do we have any one or three with foresight and common sense willing to take the job? Meanwhile, can we be concentrating on elimination of domestic abuse and reduced need of theshelterforitsvictim s?

Dudley: Special Olympics embodies everything great To the Editor: I would like to thank the Observer for their article of June 18 that highlighted our team and how hard they allwork to attaintheirpersonalbest. We at Special Olympics are proud of our athletes and think they all deserve recognition. These athletes are a true team and embody the best qualities of an athlete. Team members shout encouragement and celebrate the triumphs of each other. We are a loud and proud team. I would like to give a special shout out to Dani Thorne, who also competed at the Regional Track Meet on June 7 in Milton-Freewater and won a gold for the 800-meter run, with a personal best time of 4 minutes, 49 seconds. She also earned a bronze in the softball throw. Our golf team also competed June 7 and June 8 and brought home gold and silver medals in their pair and individual events. The track and golf teams will all be competing in the state games next month. I want to wish all our athletes good luck at the state games. Go, Team Union. tulieKay Dudley Union

him to do. I was under the impression thatdrivingwas one oftheprivileges accordedtothe citizensofAmerica, not illegal aliens who just want to live here a while and send American dollars home to their families. The real tragedy here, as an Observer article stated, is that, though finding jobs for local young people has always been a challenge, mostly they have to leave the area to find work. This shows what trickle-down is really about. I also know some fine upstanding immigrants who came to this country legally and they drive, vote and buy land, as other Americans do. Maybe it is time forsome ofthisstate'sbleeding hearts to say,"OK, let's obey all laws here and not just make temporary new ones to try to deal with the huge influx." Welcome, immigrants, we appreciate your bringing new customs. This is America and we speak English here, not Italian, French or Urdu. Thank you for contributing many differences. We are a nation of immigrants, after all.

Estes said they don't kill the trees, but create weakness, inviting insects, like bark beetles, that will kill the stand. The ips beetle is a concern in Eastern Oregon. The insect overwinters in green slash and makes the jump to green trees in July. Tanzey said he burns slash after a harvest and replants the burn site with grass to keep down the invasion of noxious weeds and to keep the land in production. Sometimes the battle against the insects can't be won. Tanzey said he has been fighting bark beetles in a 23-acre patch. He burned the slash and tried to

State law allows only adults with prescriptions from a physician and a medical marijuana card, or caregivers with special certifi cation,tobe permitted to purchase marijuana at dispensaries. These individuals will be allowed to purchase up to 1-1/2 pounds at one time. This disturbs Rasmussen, who suspects that some people will be obtaining it forthe purpose ofdistributing it to minors and others who do not have a card. "A person can therefore continue to purchase as much as they wish for distribution," Rasmussen sard. The sherif believes this is a key reason why marijuana use among young people will likely jump in Union County. "I am extremely concerned about exponentially increased access and use of m arijuana by ouryouth," Rasmussen said. Harvey said some people view marijuana as harmless because they see it as a drug

La Grande may be the first city in Northeast Oregon to have a medical marijuana dispensary since itis one of the few cities in thestatethatdid notim pose a one-year moratorium on them. Rasmussen said this means La Grande may become a magnet for marijuana users, which could put an"extreme burden" on local law enforcement. Harvey beheves La Grande should have imposed a moratorium like at least 140 cities and 26 counties have.

WashingtonCounty probes 2 small blasts ALOHA — Authorities say two small, homemade explosivedevicesdetonated in the Aloha area with one leaving a woman with minor injuries and theother damaging a mailbox. The Washington County SherifFs office says that the fi rstoccurred Saturday afternoonat a portable toilet at the International School of Beaverton. A 40-year-old Washington woman injured her head and was treated at a hospital and released. The areas around the school and a park were evacuated and searched but no other devices were found. The office says that a little while after the first blast, another small device went off at ahome about a quartermile away and caused minor damage to a mail box.

Police: Man arrested in 3 stabbings PORTLAND — Police say they arrested a 23-yearold man in the stabbings of three people at the Syrian Lebanese American Club in Portland. Oflicers responded to a report of a fight and stabbing at the club a little before 1 a.m. Sunday, and arrived to find that two of the three

people stabbed had already left for a hospital. They said witnesses identified the suspectas23-year-old Christopher Pantoja, who was taken into custody without incident and treatedforinjuriessustained in the fight. None of the stab wounds was considered to be lifethreatening. Pantoja was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on three counts of second-degreeassault.Heisexpected to be arraigned Monday.

Dozens mark solstice at replica Stonehenge MARYHILL, Wash. — A Quaker's replica of Stonehenge in Washington state was constructed as a tribute to soldiers killed in World War I. Now, it's also a gathering place for pagans, wiccans and revelers on the summer solstice. The replica Stonehenge in Maryville, Wash., was the gatheringspotfordozens of people early Saturday, who caught the rising sun on the Columbia Gorge. Balanced on a reedy blufF overlooking the Columbia River, the replica Stonehenge was designed to line its central archway directly with the rising sun on the solstice. Portland artist Elisa Mesnard says the space is meditative. She came on Saturday as part of a 21-day celebrationofthecoming of summer and the longest day of the year.

Washington County sherifFs spokesman Vance Stimler says bomb squad experts believethedevice could have done moredamage when it explodedSaturday afternoon at the park outside Beaverton, a city 7 miles west of Portland. A woman suffered non-lifethreatening injuries. Stimler says the device was constructed from chemicals available at most grocery stores that would detonate when the chemicals combined. Stimler declined to identify the chemicals involved. A nearby school also was searched and cleared later Saturday.

Small but growing wildfire finds dry fuel PORTLAND — A Klamath Countyfi re hasbeen mapped at nearly two square miles and its fuel source is highly flammable. The Bryant Fire in a logging operation on private lands outside Bonanza in Klamath County is burning on ponderosa pine, mixed conifer and dried brush. John Flanigan of the Oregon Department of Forestry says the wood is so dryit could be lit with a match. The Department of Forestry says gusty winds and rough terrain make it likely the fire would grow larger.

a fire filled the Cascade Range's rugged canyons in southwestern Oregon with smoke in 2011, firefighters started thinking an unmanned aircraft might help them get a look beneath the cover that a conventional scout plane could not. The state's Department of Forestry will get the chance this summer to use a small remote-controlled helicopter equipped with video, infrared cameras and a GPS locatortogeta better look in tight smoky places before incident commanders send in fire crews. cYou are always looking for improved visibility of your fire," said department ire prevention specialist f Brian Ballou."It just cuts down on the unknowns." Covered by a federal grant, the off-the-shelf Century model G30 cost

about $1,800. The cost will total about $5,000 once it is outfitted it with video and infrared cameras, and GPS, said Tyson Shultz, a department stewardship forester assembling the craft and getting qualified to fly it.

Tyson Shultz of the Oregon Department of Forestry poses with a radio-controlled helicopter at the department's compound on the outskirts of Grants Pass. The department is equipping the aircraft with video and infrared cameras and a GPS locator. It plans to use the helicopter this summer as another set of eyes on wildfires. this year that the University of Alaska Fairbanks flies as part of the FAA's evaluation ofhow to integrate unmanned aircraft into U.S. airspace. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has been using drones to gather data to feed into wildfire behavior computer models. The U.S. Forest Service, the nation's biggest wildfirefighting agency, has been actively evaluating NASA drones on wildfires since 2007, but is taking a slow and cautious approach, carefully considering a range of issues, including privacy,

costs and ownership. "A lot ofpeople arejumping to conclusions that we should or shouldn't use unmanned aircraft," said Bob Roth, an aviation management specialist with the U.S. Forest Service who is leading an evaluation of the future use of unmanned aircraft systems by the agency. The panel's conclusions may be ready next year. "The value-addedorbenefit it is providing to a fire is really the imagery. The same camera could be put on a manned aircraft just the same as you put it on a manned aircraft," Roth said.

The 15-year-old freshman had brought two guns, nine ammunition magazines and a large knife to the school, apparently prepared to shoot many more. A bullet also grazed a teacher.

It is only cleared by the Federal Aviation Administration to fly 400 above the ground, and the current gas tanks only allow it to be in the air for 30 minutes, though that can be extended with more. At just five feet long, the helicopter is too small to take the place of manned aircraft thatproduce infrared maps, and drop water and fire retardant. The hope is that it will fill a very specific niche in the constant demand for more and better information on a wildfire by providing easy access to an overhead view of places manned aircraft cannot go, Ballou said. With privacy concerns dampening the enthusiasm over drones, Oregon is ahead of the curve in actually buying its own aircraft. Firefighting agencies in Washington and Montana have not gone much beyond looking at the issue.

With the course set up as a 5k distance, the 10k runners had to run the course twice. After the 10k runners had a good head start on us, it was our turn.

WASHINGTON — About

HOUSTON — Mayors from the GOP-dominated states of Texas and Arizona are calling on cities to use nature to fight the impacts of climate change, even while Republican governors and lawmakers repeatedly question the science that shows human-caused pollution contributes to global warming. As conservative governors criticize the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new rules designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the mayors — many from cities already struggling with climate-changeeffects— are taking steps and spending money to stem the damage. Attendees of the U.S. Conference of Mayors will vote Monday on a resolution thatencourages citiesto use naturalsolutions to"protect freshwatersupplies,defend the nation's coastlines, maintain a healthy tree cover and protect air quality," sometimes by partnering with nonprofit organizations.

Mt. Rainier search for writer ends MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. -

The search for a prominent outdoors writer on Mount Rainier was suspended Saturdaywhen a female's body was recovered, but the remains weren't immediately identified, officials said. Mount Rainier National Park spokeswoman Patti Wold said that the body was recovered about 3 p.m. PDT in the area where teams had been searching for 70-yearold Karen Sykes. She said that the body of a "deceased female" was found off the trail near Boundary Creek in rough, steep terrain — an area difficult to access and not commonly traveled. There was no immediate word on the cause of death, and Wold said the medical examiner would determine the person's identity.

Shin woman'shusband faces sentencing EL CAJON, Calif.— An Iraqi immigrant could get life in prison for his wife's fatal beating, which initially drew international condemnation when authorities believed it was a hate crime. Kassim Alhimidi was scheduled to be sentenced Monday in San Diego Superior Court for killing Shaima Alawadi at their home in 2012 in the city of El Cajon, a suburb east of San Diego that is home to the second largest Iraqi population in the United States.

GARDEN GUIDE

Avocado Chocolate Pudding

JENNIE HAGEN

Farewell to

my garden, and column Maybe it's the dirt, might even be the water. But whatever the reason, this place is special. I mean, really, the cilantro is over 5 feet tall, the daylily buds are as tall as I am and the one gallon Nepeta icat mint) I planted last springisnow over 4 feetacross.I'd like to think they are all growing with such recklessabandon asispossible only with something that knows it's loved. And that's what makes it even harder, to leave it all behind. We're ofFon another adventure again, moving to make beautiful a new yardthatsufFersfrom neglectand a lack of inspiration. This adventure, however, takes us back to the high desert region of Eastern Oregon where we came here from. We moved here with a particular objective in mind and as always the first thing I do when landing in a new spot is to see what I can do to make it"mine." This place here will always be in my heart as one that was very, very special. Pieces of the memories will go with us, however. The clematis that was my mother-in-law's and the Yukon River rock with her name carved on it will make the trip. The little white rose that was on the table next to her bed hasbeen planted here and itgoes, too. The lewisii in the herb garden are w hat my mother gave me, they11go as well. And a few seeds from some of my other favorites, but for the most part the people that are inheriting this lovely place won't even notice anything is gone, there is just so much. So it's a bittersweet feeling, this accomplishment of so much in such a shortperiod oftime .Turrnng the red lavarock desertinto atruegarden of life so full ofhope and promise. It was worth all the aches and pains, the numerous visits to the cupboard for ibuprofen, then back to the dirt to plant some more. What I gave this place gave me so much more in return.

Memories of the Zuber

building When you describe something faceto-face in a general way, it can pass, but if it reaches print imy June 2 column), then it changes the whole connotation. Take the location of the old Zuber building in La Grande. It isn't there anymore. I had been visiting with a young person who had never heard of that particular building — not as a dancehall, as Orella's Garden dine and dance, or as a skating rink. In fact, I had intended only to connect my fiiend Orella generally to La Grande as one-time owner of the building on Washington Avenue and go on from there in explanation ofher coming visit. In describing its location of an earlier day I'm afraid I was lax in an historical sense by saying that the Zuber was located in the parking lot, and Richard Taylor's sharp eye caught my errorforwhich Ido appreciate. It takes all of us to remember history as it was. SeeDory IEbge 2B

By Karen Kain Thisavocado chocolate pudding recipe isdecadent and addicting. I am just warning you. A few of us who have tried it have not slept well due to the caffeine in the cocoa powder, but it didn't stop a certain someone from eating it two nights in a row. Summer is the perfect time for simple desserts. This is a must try. Don't tell your guests what is in it and see if they can guess. The avocados need to be soft but still firm. They give the pudding a smooth texture. You only need a little because it is so decadent. I love this recipe because it is super easy, healthy and delicious. The perfect sweet snack for gluten free and Casein free diets. The dark chocolate makes it rich and if you love chocolate you will love this!

LA GRANDE'S LANDSCAPING CONTEST

oun o By Kelly Black

ForyyesCom News Serwce

It seems as if a rainbow landed in Geraldine Tannehill's yard. aWe get all the colors in here in the spring," said Tannehill. Her perennial garden recently caughtthe eye ofthe La Grande beautification award program. Three times each year the city of La Grande recognizes one residential and one commercialproperty forexemplary landscape. Tannehill is the spring residential recipient. "I do have a lot of springstufF," she said. Tannehill has been gardening for more than 40 years on her corner property. "I used to be able to kill poinsettias in a week and now they live forever," she said. The poinsettias are not the only plants thriving. White magnolias mingle with pink flowering almonds. Spires oflupine and delphinium cast shadows on variegated hostas and true geraniums. Tannehill picks her perennialstohave a succession ofcolor. Tannehill has nearly 55 feet of terraced gardens. The terrace walls are made from recycled sidewalk that came from downtown La Grande. Prominent on one terrace are white Esther Read Shasta daisies, which are used on parade floats. "They are hard to come by. My sister found those and I've kept them going for about 40 years," said Tannehill. Tannehill has a greenhouse, and she enjoys trying new plants. "Itisgetting harder and harder to find something I haven't tried," said Tannehill. She jokes that there are two types of gardeners — the first type plans everything out with each plant in its proper place. "Then there are gardeners like me. They see something they like, they've got to have it and stick it in the ground," said Tannehill. Tannehill does have a few visitors who like to take things out of the ground — voles.

This was the Orella Chadwick who was coming to La Grande for a quick Memorial Day weekend visit, attending the Imbler School

reunion and family graves. It was a special hour that I had with her, unchanged in statureand personalit y at95, a steady fiiendship over the years. Since old records encompass the addresses of 1419, 1421, and 1423 Washington Ave.as one-time locations for Zuber Hall, could there have been more than one Zuber building? The properties

remain empty of buildings so the Zuber Hall mystique still pervades. In retrospect I think it is safe to simply say that the old Zuber Hall was located on the north side of the 1400 block of Washington Avenue in La Grande. I certainly hope so. Do you remember the old Zuber Hall? Memories? Photos?

Chicago Tnbune

The weather's cooperating, the coals are lit — and you've got your mind on a juicy steak with perfect grill marks. But what type of steak should you buy? Well, rib-eye remainsthe favorite across the United States — and the bigger the better. But the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, an industry group,lists some 28 steak or fillet cuts you can choose from.They come ina range offlavor,texture,tenderness, fatcontent and price. The six most popular? Karli Millspaugh, an association spokeswoman, says they are: Boneless rib-eye, bonelessstrip steak,top sirloin steak, bone-in rib-eye, bone-in strip steak and Tbone steak. All are familiar and delicious; you can't go wrong with them. Another route, particularly if your dad thinks of himself as an edgy, lone-wolf type,isto serveone ofthe new beef cuts entering the market. These new steaks are tender muscles gleaned from hard-working areas of the animal like the shoulder

ichuckl or hind leg iroundl, sectionsusually relegated to low,slow braising orroasting. "They are diamonds in the rough.... The big example is the flat iron," says Craig A. Morris, deputy administrator of the Livestock, Poultry and Seed Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service. Whatever the steak cut is, be it an old favoriteor something new, there are certain factors you should consider

online

T-BONE The bone divides the meat into two sections, the large strip, or top loin, and the smaller tenderloin. Section: short loin

PORTERHOUSE The T-bone's neighbor. Sports a much larger tenderloin attached to the central bone. Section: short loin

STRIP STEAK (New York strip, Kansas City strip, top loin, Delmonico, shell steak.) Sold bone-in or boneless. Section: short loin

TOP SIRLOIN Bill Hogan / ChicagoTnhune

Summer is here and that means many grillers are stepping up to the heat and putting a big steak on the fire. One option to cook is the flat iron. in choosing a steak. Marbling, the amount of fat distributed within the meat, is the most important indicator of quality for consumers, says Randy Waidner, corporate executivechef for Chicago-based Gibsons Restaurant Group."There's more flavor, more tenderness," he says.

The USDA grades beef quality and labels cuts accordingly, and marbling is a major factor in determining the rating."Prime" has long been considered the best, followed by"Choice" and "Select." The challenge is, as Morris notes, that there may be some Choice or Select cuts that are as tender as Prime but at a lower price. To help consumers find those cuts and make wiser choices,

the USDA has launched a new program to tag cuts as "USDA Certifi edTender" or "USDA Certified Very Tender" based on specific, objective criteria. Bone-in can make a difference, too.ScottFader, general manager of Petty's Meats in Longwood, Flan likes a porterhouse steak more than its sibling, the T-bone, because the porterhouse has a larger piece of tenderloin, or filet mignon, on one side of the bone. "The filet mignon is tender but lacks a bit of flavor. The bone gives flavor; it's a gamechanger," he says. Tougher cuts, like hanger and skirt steaks, can make for delicious eating if tenderized in a marinade for a few hours or overnight, says Frody Volgger, butcher at

Tony Caputo's Market & Deli in Salt Lake City. Try a teriyaki or ponzu sauce, perhaps accented with mustard and

black pepper, he says. Whether you'll be cooking for dad or he'll be grilling up a steak himself, we've got the details on nine of the best cuts for the grill. Each should be seared over direct heat, then finished in a cooler part of the grill. Thinner cuts iflank, skirt, hanger) should cook with just the searing.

FLAT IRON (Shoulder top blade steak.) Boneless and cut from the shoulder clod top blade roast, each steak averages 8 ounces, with a thickness varying from

(Sirloin butt steak.) Boneless; a continuation of the top loin muscle of the short loin. Section: sirloin

FLANK STEAK (London broil, jiffy steak.) Boneless. Marinate before cooking; slice across the grain for tenderness. Section: flank

SKIRT STEAK The diaphragmmuscle. Boneless. Marinate before grilling; slice across the grain for tenderness. Section: short plate

HANGER STEAK (Butcher's steak, hanging tender.) Boneless. Marinate before grilling; slice across the grain for tenderness. Section: short plate
