By Dick Mason The Observer

Eastern Oregon University's first-ever institutional boardmay include a number of people who have played important roles in the school's history.

Former EOU President Dixie Lund of La Grande and former state Sen. David Nelson of Pendleton are two who have Lund agr e ed to have their names submittedfor consideration forpositions on the board, according to Nelson

President Jay Kenton.

Lund served as Eastern's presidentfrom 2003 to 2004 and from 2007 to 2009, and Nelson served as a state senatorfrom 1997 to 2013.

Lund, who worked at EOU for more than 30 years as a faculty member and administrator, still lives in La Grande. She is remembered by many as one who helped turn EOU around during her second stint after the university's enrollment and financial situation had fallen into dire straits.

"Dixie is one of the most passionatepeople about Eastern, ever," said Tim Seydel,Eastern'svicepresident for university advancement.

Seydel added that Lund's understanding of EOU is second to none.

"She knows every inner working of the university," Seydel said."She has seen how higher education has changed lives."

Ken Bruce, a retired La Grande School District electrician, is urging the school district to use caution if a November bond passes. If the bond passes, the school district plans to build a new Central Elementary School south of the current one. That plan concerns Bruce, who believes moving the school could place students and teachers in harms way because of the flight path of Life Flight.

Bruce, however, is also concerned. He is urging the school district to exercise caution if the bond is approved by voters in November.

The plan concerns Bruce because moving the school to a more southern site wouldplacethe schoolcloser to the flight path of the Life Flight air ambulance thattransportspatients to and from Grande Ronde Hospital, which is just west of Central. Bruce believes this would place Central studentsat greaterrisk ifa Life Flight helicopter were to go down.

"It would be a mistake to place the building right under the flight path," Bruce sald.

Bruce said this is a potential peril that could be averted with some careful planning.

Ifhats were back in fashion, Mika Morton would be the toast of the town.

Because she wears about 15 of them.

The interim executive director at ArtsEast, who took the reins when Kelly Richards resigned at the end of May, does everything from grant writing to organizing artists in residence in the 10-county area of Eastern Oregon the organization serves. She also serves as PTA president, is among the parent volunteers at Central Elementary bringing art to the school, and makes sure her kids, Owen, 11, and Alsea,8,getto soccer practice.

Morton started with ArtsEast five years ago when Jane Howell was director.

M ortonfi rstworked fi ve hours a week, writing press releases and serving as gallery director. That bumped up to about 20 hours a week when Deena Heath succeeded Howell and Morton got more involvedasprograms coordinator, managing Artists-in-Residence and the Community School for the Arts.

Now, five years later, partly because of her work at Central School, Morton is known around town as the "Art Lady."

She loves the title.

Lady."'

Morton moved to town 10 years ago from Missoula, Mont., where she had been a technical writer for a software company for five years and her husband, Winston, had seasonal work with the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

They moved here when Winston landed a full-time job the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife as a habitat biologist.

La Grande is a far cry from the Tokyo ofher youth.

But she loves how things turned out. ''When I was little," she said of growing up in Tokyo, "like a lot of kids I asked myself what I wanted to be when I grew up," she said.

"I think I found my career with arts. If I didn't get paid, I'd still be doing it."

Morton's path to an art career, however, had some speed bumps. Her dad, from

California, had met her mother while he served in the Air Force in Japan, and encouraged her to go to college in the states.

Morton had it in mind to go to college in a big city, such as New York City or Los Angeles, thinking the culture shock wouldn't be as bad. Her parents talked her in to attending Oregon State University. They knew the culture shock would be about the same wherever she went. Small town Corvallis, however, was a big culture shock. It wasn't the language barrier. She had grown up speaking English.

The hardest challenges were learning to count American money, missing her family and living in Corvallis, where at first it seemed there was nothing to do.

Soon, however, she made friends, got involved in activities and felt right at home.

Picking a field to focus on, though, was a challenge.

The La Grande Observer received nine awards, including four first-place awards, in the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association's annual competition, results of which were announced at its convention, held Thursday and Friday in Salem.

The awards are for work done in 2013. The Observer competed in Group C, for newspapers with less than 10,000 circulation.

Reporter Dick Mason was a multiple winner, earning a pair of second-place finishes forbesteducation coverage and his spot news coverage of Joe Bell's death in Colorado.

Editor Andrew Cutler earneda fi rstplaceforbest editorial page and best page one design. Cutler also earned a first, along with Composing Supervisor Dorothy Kautz, in the best graphics category. Cutler and former Sports Editor Paul Harder took second place in best graphics with their Eastern Oregon University "GameDay" section.

The Observer took two of the three spots in the best local column category with Harder taking first place and Go! Editor Jeff Petersen taking third.

Observer publisher Kari Borgen, along with Cutler, Petersen and News Editor Kelly Ducote took third place for best editorial.

After delving into such subjects as international business, anthropology and fine arts, she had a panic moment. Her parents encouraged her to find a career field where she could not just find a job but be happy. Finally, she found her niche in art history, where she knew after graduation she could work in a museum or gallery — and that she would enjoy the work.

Today, she is happily immersed in La Grande life.

"I enjoy the sense of belonging here and the community here," she said."It feels like I'm part of a large family."

She is also happily immersed in the arts at ArtsEast and finds the job rewarding.

"It's the warm, fuzzy feeling I get knowing that we bringartsto 5,000 students each year in 10 counties of Eastern Oregon," she said. ''With art, you use both sides of your brain, and it's so important to forming the whole person."

L.W."Buck" Hermann, 96, the first mayor of La Grande and a former city councilor and longtime community volunteer, passed away Thursday at his residence in Hood River.

"He was a great leader. He did so much for the community," said La Grande Mayor Dan Pokorney.

Hermann became the first La Grande mayor of the modern era after joining the city council about five decades ago.

He joined it in the 1960s when La Grande had a city commission rather than a council. The commission had a president rather than a mayor.

Hermann was president of the commission when La Grande switched to a mayorled council system, switching his title automatically to mayor.

Hermann made few enemies and many friends while leading the city. This was apparent in 2013 when Hermann returned to La Grandeforareception at Bear Mountain Pizza. About 50 people greeted him, with many providing heartfelt wishes of goodwill.

"I'm just overwhelmed. I didn't realize I had this many friends,a Hermann told The

Observer during the reception.

Many of those who came were members of the Union County Shrine Club, a philanthropic organization Hermann was remarkably devoted to.

"His work for the Shriners was legendary," Pokorney sald.

Hermann was a longtime businessman in La Grande, operating Hermann's Trailer Sales for decades. In addition to trailers he also soldmotorcycles,boatsand snowmobiles.

Lance Shoemaker of Imbler, a fellow Shriner, noted that Hermann was the

type of person who would bend over backwards to help everyone, even those he was competing against in business.

"He was always a gentleman. It wasn't about business, it was about friendships. I know that is how he ran his life," Shoemaker said."He was a guy who cared about everybody in his community. He wanted to see everyone do the best they could do. He was as good a guy as there was."

amivsso esman: - re on ov. ic tive ies The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Vic Atiyeh, Oregon's last Republican governor who shepherded the state through a deep recession during two terms in the 1980s, died Sunday night, a family spokesman said.

The former governor died at 8:15p.m. atPortland's Providence St. Vincent Medical Center of complications &om renal failure, said Denny Miles, who formerly served as Atiyeh's press secretary.

He said that Atiyeh was at home but had returned to the hospital Saturday due to shortness ofbreath and possible internal bleeding.

The son of a Syrian im-

migrant, Atiyeh turned down an offer to play for the Green Bay Packers to take over his family's rug business. He entered politics in the Oregon Legislature, then ran for governorand won on a platform of cutting taxes.

He wound up raising taxes becauseoftherecession,but was also remembered for cutting his own salary as governorthree times to help balance the budget.

Atiyeh lamented the poor roll of the dice that made him governor during a recession.

"I don't want to sound defensive aboutit, but what you get is criticism during the period when times are bad, and then when times become good, it's

just the nature of things,"Atiyeh told an interviewer days beforeleavingoffi ce.

Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber said Atiyeh was both a mentor and a fiiend, calling him "a great Oregonian, an historic governor, and aremarkablehuman being."

Kitzhaber added: "He will be greatly missed, yet his steadyleadership,gentle spirit, and lovefor ourstate lives on in the many contributions he made to Oregon."

House Republican Leader Mike McLane said the former governor was the epitome of a public servant.

"He was our example," McLane said."He will be missed by all of us."

Atiyeh, a mainstream Republican who championed small state government and allowing citizens to be "left alone," lost his first run for governor in 1974 to Democrat Bob Straub. He challenged Straub again four years later and won, taking office in 1979 as Oregon underwent what was then its m ost severe recession since the Great Depression.

The state jumped fiom among the fastest growing in the country to one with a dwindling population as environmental regulations helped doom the timber industry.

He championed a significant tax cut plan thatinduded both a rebate and a perma-

nentreduction. Within a year, as the recession took hold, some supporters ofAtiyeh's tax plans had buyer's remorse as the state budgettook ahit.

Atiyeh pushed Oregon's universities away from forestry, mining and agriculturetoelectricalengineering and international trade, and slightly boosted their budgets. The increase came partlyatthecostofprim ary education, driving a wedge between Atiyeh and state teachers unions.

AtiyehdefeatedTed Kulongoski to be re-elected by 62 percent in 1982.

Atiyeh made &equent trips around Oregon, and was proudofhaving visited every

county fair and every city in Oregon as governor.

Confined by term limits, he left in 1987 — with little goodwill left to help elect another Republican. Democrat Neil Goldschmidt gleefully compared Republican rival Norma Paulus to the unpopular Atiyeh, winning the election on the slogan,"the same old Salem crowd."

To this day, Oregon hasn't elected another Republican to the governor's office.

After leaving office, Atiyeh retired, working part-time as a business consultant. He was a golfer, fly fisherman and coll ector ofgunsand memorabilia &om the 1805 Lewis and Clark expedition.

Dolores "Dee" Swisher August 22, 1933 — July 7, 2014 Dolores "Dee" Swisher passed away July 7, 2014 in La Grande, Oregon. She was 80 years old.

Dee was born in Ogden, Utah to Condido and Cecilia (Alzola) Acurio. The family moved to Winnemucca, Nevada when Dee was five years old.

Her father died when was seven years old. Her mother later married her step father Joe Churruca who purchased a cattle ranch in Paradise Valley, Nevada where Dee spent the remainder ofher childhood.

Many ofher favorite stories were from her days in Paradise Valley and the lifelong friendships she made there.

It was at the "fish pond" in Paradise Valley that she met her future husband Bill Swisher.

After high school in Winnemucca, Dee attended St. Alphonsus Nursing School in Boise, Idaho. During this time, Bill was drafted into the Korean War and sent to Fort Smith, Arkansas. They married in 1952 and Dee joined Bill in Arkansas.

Bill was discharged from the army in 1954 and the couplereturned to Nevada and a job on the Lucky Seven Ranch in McDermitt. They moved to Harney County in 1956 to work for Walt McEwen.

For many years they were hired as a couple. Bill managing the buckaroos and cattle operations and Dee cooking for the ranch and hay crews.

Their last 10 years in the ranch management business was spent in the Riley area with Silver Creek Ranches.

When Silver Creek sold in 1978 Dee went to work for the Harney County Clerk's office. She worked as deputy clerk for 10 years and then became clerk in 1989, She held that office for two terms until she retired in 1999. During this time the office saw many changes including implementing elections by mail and automatic ballot counters.

Dee was known for her ready smile and fun attitude, She was a joy to be around and expressed an uncanny interest in many things. She loved family gatherings, having company over, sharing something good to eat and a good story. She had many, many friends and was always eager to meet new people and make more!

She was an author, self-publishing a book "The Good Old Dayst", a collection of true stories from her life of pioneer cattlemen, buckaroos and cowboys she had known.

Dee was quick to volunteer and involved with the community serving on school boards, Red Cross, American Cancer Society, Business and Professional Women's Club and Harney County Democratic Society to name a few.

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE I666

The Observer

OUR VIEW

President Barack Obama should take another look at his plan to withdraw most of the American troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2016.

Obviously, trying to sell the American public on an extension of what is already viewed as America's longest war is, and would be, a pretty steep challenge.

Americans, traditionally, dislike foreign entanglements ofjust about any sort, and the global war on terror has already cost the nation a great deal in terms of blood and treasure.

And politically, there is no doubt the president's ability to point to the conclusion of two wars — Iraq and Afghanistan — on his watch is an alluring prospect.

Unfortunately, reality — the reality of the post 9/11 world — is messy, unpredictable and fraught with more risks than at any other time in our history. Thugs — as a rule — are not going to simply quit fighting, stop killing or conclude their efforts to impact pain on the rest of the world because the United States declares the war is over.

Life doesn't work that way.

Americans — and especially many American politicians — seek a"peace dividend" now that the global war on terror appears to be fading into the night. And that motif is a diKcult tone to argue with.

Aker all, we've all seen too many of the brave men and women of our armed forces come home damaged — physically and mentally — from the long war on terror. And war costs money. Lots of it.

Exhibit No. 1 in the reasons to rethink a rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan is Iraq. The United States leR Iraq in 2011 and essentially forgot about the nation. Now, fanatic Islamic militants control huge swaths of that nation and the hard work — not to mention blood and money — expended by this great nation there appears to have been in vain. Iraq isn't secure. Iraq wasn't made a better place by our rapid withdrawal.

The White House argues that Iraq is not Afghanistan. Iraq was already gripped by sectarian violence that only grew worse after the U.S. departed. And the White House asserts the deal in Afghanistan to pull out most of the American troops by 2016 is a

done deal.

Shifting the bulk of the American troops out of Afghanistanwould be a bad idea unlesscertain benchmarks are met. No. 1, the disputed Afghan presidential election needs to be resolved. No. 2,Afghan security forces must improve and be able to sustain themselves in the field against the highly-motivated and dangerous Taliban insurgents. A firm commitment from the U.S. and other NATO countries regarding future investment in the nation must be inked.

No matter how much our nation would like to simply pack up and leave Afghanistan — and, essentially forget about the nation — we can't do that. No one is arguing the U.S. should invest the kind of troop numbers seen in, say, South Korea since the end of the Korean conflict in Afghanistan. Yet a robust stay-behind force is necessary to ensure that the hard-won victories of the past are not squandered by political necessity.

The president needs to take another look at his plan for the future of Afghanistan.

Friends of the Opera House not being audited by city To the Editor: On July 16, the Observer posted an article that reads "City council OKs audit of opera house funds." This article may leave the impression that the city is conducting an audit of the Friends of the Opera House, the nonprofit theater arts organization that holds the lease on the opera house.

The Friends of the Opera House is not being audited. The City of Elgin is auditing its own accounts, including an account that holds the remainder of the grant funds awarded to the city for the specific purpose of restoration and upgrades to the historic building.

Earlier this year, the Friends of the Opera House suggested that the city use the remainder of their grant funds to provide a new AC unit for the building. The Elgin City Council graciously allocatedthe funds forthe airconditioner.

Later, the city received an unexpected bill foropera house restoration work that had previously been provided. This unexpected bill raised caution with the city council and it voted to suspend the release of the funds for the AC until it

After several days of staying within a 120-acre perimeter, high winds pushed the Hurricane Creek fire up Dunn Creek and to the top of Chief Joseph Mountain.

FIRE

With lightning in forecast, firefighters brace for more BEND — The spread of fires burning across the region this weekend was described by a Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center official as "unprecedented."

Jean Nelson-Dean, spokeswoman forthe dispatch center,added the agency is expecting even more fire activity this week, as forecasts predict lightning Tuesday and Wednesday. Nelson-Dean also said lower temperatures and less intense wind should allow crews to focus on containing active fires, but that the region is bracing for the challenge of responding to the numerous small fires a storm can bring.

"Most summers, we maybe have one, two — three, at the most — fires," Nelson-Dean said Sunday. "But the Ochocos and Prineville BLM have a lot of fire on them right now in a way that's unprecedented. With rangeland, we're used to 20,000 acres plus of fires, but I think what is unusual right now is how far spread it is. You just really see where last week's lightning went through, because there's a stream of fire. It's not the size of them, but how they're all over the place."

Continued from Pcge1A Moeller said the fire made several runs Sunday into the"black" or area already burned.

Most of Sunday, a wisp of smoke could be seen from the Hurricane Creek Fire from as far away as Wallowa, but around 4 p.m. it started to make its run, Crippen said. Moeller said the columns of smoke seen Sunday afternoon were from the fire's southwest corner.

"Any good news out of yesterday's column is that it took out all threat of the fire moving north," Moeller said.

Today, fighting the blaze will be supported bycooler temperatures and higher relative humidity, and the La Grande Hot Shot crew will hike in fiom the Hurricane CreekTrailhead to putin a duect fire line. Previously, the rugged terrain kept firefightingefforts to primarily an air show supported by helicopters and single engine air tankers assisted by helitack crew members and smoke jumpers. The helitack crew and the smokejumpers were released over the weekend.

District Ranger Kris Stein said communication with landowners near the fire has been good.

"People have been good to work with," Stein said. 'They are used to seeing fire."

Stein said brush was removed along the road and fuels were reduced around homes just in case the fire turned back towardprivate property. aWe've been working with the county

and the state in case the fire decides to come north," Stein said.

The Hurricane Creek Fire is entirely in the wilderness and being monitored

by Incident Commander Gabe Hale from the Wallowa-Whitman North Zone.

Incident Commander Trainee Andrew Stinchfield said there is low potential for the fire to spread and two falling teams are inthere taking outdead trees,or snags.

Crews on the Cougar Fire are camped out on the fire line, and food and supplies are being flown in or driven to trailheads.

A 10 percent chance of rain is predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday with the potential for light winds.

The two fires are sharing resources, including four helicopters. Single-engine airtankers are available asneeded and were used Sunday during the Hurricane

Creek Fire's run.

The Pittsburg Fire on the Idaho side of the Hells Canyon has not had any growthforthree days,according toa report released today by the Washington Department of Natural Resources. A contingency line is complete outside the entire perimeter of the fire.

Firefighters will continue today to strengthen and monitor fire lines around the perimeter and will continue to mop-upand rehabilitate dozer and hand lines.

The Snake River, the 493 Road, Pittsburg landing, and Pittsburg campground are open; however the WallowaWhitman National Forest has issued an area closure in the immediate fire area.

In 2010Kitzhaber defeated Richardson, a Republican Republican Chris Dudley, state representative fiom Cen- a retired NBA basketball tral Point, hopes to accomplish player, by fewer than 23,000 what no other member of the votes, lessthan 1.5 percent.

independents,and those Democrats that want a different vision for the state will vote for me."

In laying out his case for why he believes Kitzhaber has been an ineffective, and inattentive, governor, Richardsoncited severalissueshe also emphasized during his first debate with Kitzhaber less than 24 hours earlier, on Friday morning in Salem.

Richardson criticized Kitzhaber for two high-profile and expensive projects-

$190 million for a Columbia Riverbridge that apparently won't be built, and about

$250 million for the botched rollout of the Cover Oregon website last fall.

"That could be the poster child for waste and abuse," Richardson said of the Cover Oregon situation.

He says he"warned" Kitzhaber, via aletter,thatthe governor needed to exert more direct oversightin planning for the Cover Oregon website.

"Had he listened we could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars," Richardson said."He trusted people to do

it, he didn't lead."

As for Oregon's Public Employees Retirement System, Richardson argues that the changes made during Kitzhaber's current term haven't fixed the system, which Richardson describes as a"huge, huge problem because it drains so much money from budgets that could be used in classroomsor tofillpotholes or what have you."

Richardson, who served on the PERS reform committee during his first term as a statelawmaker, advocates forthe Legislature to pass a full slate of reforms, then let the state Supreme Court decide, in the inevitable legal challenges, which reforms are legal and which would violate the contractual obligations the state has with public workers. '%e don't need more opinions about PERS except the Supreme Court's opinion," Richardson said.

In terms of managing natural resources, Richardson said"what we're doing isn't working."

He has advocated for the

federal government returning millions of acres of public land to the states to manage.

If elected, Richardson said he will lobby for either the transfer of management from thefederalto state governments, or some other change thatmakes itpossiblefor Oregon to thin its forests.

'There's timber, timber everywhere, and not a tree to cut," he said.

Richardson acknowledged that Republicans tend to do well in Baker County and otherpartsofruralOregon — in 2010 Dudley trounced Kitzhaber in Baker County.

But Richardson said he believes retaining that rural supportis crucial ifhe is to beat Kitzhaber this November.

In any case, Richardson said his goal is to represent the entire state, and that means visiting towns such as Baker City is necessary.

"For metorepresent rural Oregon I need to have a feel for life in rural Oregon, and the same is true of urban Oregon," he said."My goal is to unify rural and urban Oregon."

HOYLAKE, England — Walking off the18th green as the British Open champion, Rory Mcllroy kept gazing at all the greats on golf's oldest trophy.

On the claret jug, his name is etched in silver below Phil Mickelson.

In the record book, he is listed behind Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the youngest to get three legs of the career Grand Slam.

Mcllroy moved up to No. 2 in the world, perhaps on his way to regaining the No. 1 ranking that once looked as if it would be his for years. He ended the 2012 season by winning his second major and capturing the money title on the PGATour.

The La Grande 9-10-year-old All-Stars earned a 2-1victory over Medford at the Little League State Tournament in Bend Sunday.

La Grande took a 2-0 lead in the third inning after Cole Jorgensen hit a two-run RBI. Medford cut the lead to one in the fifth inning, but Sergio Staab threw four strikeouts without

giving up a hit in the final two innings to seal the victory.

"Jorgensen has been hitting the cover off the ball lately," La Grande coach Brian Bell said.aWe struggled a bit against slower pitching, but I think the kids will be able to adjust well."

Memories of

a building

yr ~

that's no more Does anyone besides myself remember an old clapboard building that stood beside the Elks building on WashingtonAvenue in La Grande and was called the Moose Hall?

The Elks building, of course, is now known as the Maridell Center at the corner of Washington and Depot Street. It is the building, that isn't there, just to the west of the center, thatIrefer to asa very largewhite wooden building, maybe two-story, that held quite a few community events.

Ithad steps,also wooden boards, leading up to the door. Ginny Mammen has provided me with a photo that proves me right on that score.

Insidewas alargeroom used for dancing with an overhang balcony for viewers.

The dance hall would have been in my teenage years and I was only there on one occasion to visit a moment with a distant cousin and not to take part in the dancing. My sister seemed to have a reason to talk with our cousin briefl y and then we left.

See how memory comes and goes and how it fails to fill in the blanks asyougetolder? HowIwishIhad written down all of these pieces of life as they happened even while not knowing that I would want to draw on them so many years later.

Anyway, as an adult I learned that my GrandfatherSwart had been a Moose member and that they met in that building for lodge as well as one on Adams Avenue.

There may have been other organizations that held their meetings there, also, foritseems likethe EaglesLodge convened there as well and maybe owned the building.

How about the Royal Neighbors of America even though they were at one time in the Odd Fellows Hall across from the fire station on Elm? It all comes in a jumble. Who were they? What was the occasion of their being together?

There are two things that stand out in my memory about that building besidesitsbeing used as a dance hall in later years.

One of the lodges, made up of women it seems like an auxiliary or a group unto themselves, decided to put on a play for the public. It may have been the Royal Neighbors of America.

It seems like the name of the play was "Charlie's Aunt" and that Nellie Montgomery played the part of the Aunt, but I can't be sure. It had quite a listofcharacters and the members all happily took part.

ill and Dixie Amis were headed out to pickraspberries early

B lastWednesdaymorning at their home in Baker Valleywhen they heard a buzzingnoise.

And then they saw it — a swann ofhoneybees larger than a basketball dingmg to a raspberry branch.

The bees didn'tseem aggressive,so Billpicked raspberrieson other bushes while Dixie started making phone calls to find a beekeeper.

"I love them but I don't need them here," she said between phone calls.

When she got a hold of Keith Bobo, who owns K&C Honeyin Baker City, he said he'd be rightover with a bee box.

a in t emosto mus rooms:nexnensivenate King Boletus Mushroom Pate

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

I love pate but I used to struggle paying big dollars at high-end specialtystoresfor a quarter pound, so I started making it myself.

Fortunately, making pate is easy and inexpensive. You can buy a pound of chicken livers in the grocery store for under $3. And it is actually good for you when eaten in moderation.

Liver is packed with iron and folic acid, which aids the body's transportation of oxygen.It also contains immunity boosting zinc and vitamin B12. Liver is high in vitamin A, which is good for your skin and hair.

The King Boletus Mushroom Pate recipe is fabulous. We were very lucky to be given some m ushrooms by our neighbors.My husband is not a fan of mushrooms but he really enjoyed these meaty

Trim any fat or connective tissue from the livers and discard. Heat the butter in a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the livers. Separate them out in the pan so they can brown evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip the livers cooking on both sides. Once the livers are browned add the capers, thyme, saute another

minute letting the flavors combine.

Takethe pan offthe heatand addthe sherry. Put the pan back on the heat and cook on high to boil the sherry down, 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to cool. Put the mixture into a food processor or blender and puree until you get a smooth texture.

You can add more butter if you like to make the pate richer in flavor. The mixture should be loose, but once you refrigerate it will firm up. Store in a small bowl or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

The pate will last a week or so in the fridge.

He decides to deal with thismost primordial ofproblems by: al Reaching for a shoe bl Calling an exterminator cl Begging a neighbor for help; or dl Inexplicably deciding to immolate the eight-legged menace by using a lighter and a can of spray paint as a homemade blowtorch. iAfler all, the house is a rental.)

Chances are by now you know the answer. The man's ill-fated effort at extermination not only set a portion of the home aflame, it also made national news and moved the spokesman for the Seattle Fire Department to warn against copycats: 'There are safer,m oreeffective ways to kill a spider than using fire," Kyle Moore told the Associated Press."Fire is not the method to use

HONEY Continued from Page 1B When bees run out of room in a hive, Bobo explained, the queen lays a queen cell, which hatches in 21 days.

Severaldays beforeit hatches, the old queen takes off with workers, traveling in a swarm to find a new home.

In this case, a raspberry bush. They also land in trees, or inside walls.

A bee hive has between

30,000 and 50,000 bees, and a swarm about half as many.

Bobo said bees can travel up to three miles in their search for a new home.

Clad in beekeeper jackets, Keith and his son, Jake, placed an hive beneath the swarm. With a quick jerk, Keith shook the bees into the box and stepped away.

Keith waited a few minutes, then repeated the motion to make sure he got the queen inside the box.

He said honeybees aren't aggressive when found this early because the workers gorge themselves on honey before leaving the hive. After several days, however, the bees begin building comb and establishing their new home.

That's when they get a

"Some peoplehave a phobia that makes their brains stop thinking when they see a spider," said Elmer Bensinger, CEO of Mathis Exterminating of Seattle.

More importantly, rain barrels benefit the environment.

"Installing a rain barrel is one of the easiest things a homeowner can do to protect water resources," says Julia Hillegrass, team leader with askHRgreen.org, an environmental public awareness program for the 16 counties and cities in Hampton Roads, Va.

A San Diego family infamously blew up their home in 2003 in an attempttorid the place ofinsects with 19 bug bombs. A single bug bomb would have been sufficient to treat the 470-square-foot home.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reportedthat the bombs were ignited by a pilot light from the water heater. The explosion shook the surrounding homes and catapulted the family's Christmas decorations onto the street,the newspaper said.

Turns out, that house was also a rental. The damage cost some unlucky owner $150,000 to repair.

The Seattle fire caused an esti-

m ated $60,000 in damage, according to Moore.

After the man ignited his laundry room with his makeshift blowtorch, he tried to put water on the flames, but theblazespread intotheattic.

In the aftermath, portions of the house were boarded up with plywood, and a blue tarp covered part of the roof. The owners of the house declined to comment.

As for the spider,M oore said: "I'm pretty sure the spider did not survive this fire."

Rick Mix, general manager of Willard Pest Control, which has locations throughout the Puget Sound area, said that exterminators often see people driven to hysterics by pests.

"I had a lady call me one time who had a newborn baby," Mix said.

"She was convinced that she had a deadly brown recluse spider in her home. I told her there was no way; we don't have brown recluse spiders in Washington. But she was terrified it was going to bite her baby."

Mix said the woman was insistent and drove to his office, baby in tow, so he could judge for himself.

"She was in a state of panic and she showed me the spider and I said, 1 don't know what it is but I can tell you it's not a brown recluse spider,"' Mix said.

"I'm just glad there were other people here to witness that," Mix sald.

Bensinger, of Mathis Exterminating, said that there are a number ofbetteralternatives to homemade blowtorches to kill spiders.

by Stella Wilder TUESDAY,JULY 22, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you are one of those cr mplicated and fascinating individuals who are not alwaysaccessible to others,and who can be quite a mystery to those who are not willing or able to look beneath the surface. Despite being born on the cusp, you often display more markedly the traits of a Cancer native than those of the lion. Most evident is your tendency, whenever you have the chance, to retreat into yourself- your"shell," ifyou will -- and hide from the world at large, at least figuratively. You know that it is impossible to do this literally, so you will no doubt develop clever waysofretreating from the world even when you aremaking yourselfbusy in it!

WEDNESDAY,JULY 23 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You cangain the advantage over a rival by using one or two tools that you havesecretly kept in your arsenal. Keep things friendly!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sepc 22) —That which was lost is found, andwhenyou find yourself

losing your way, you can surely get back on track with just a little effort.

LIBRA (Sepc 23-Oct. 22) —You're in no position to demand anything from the powers that be, but if you play your cards right, they may offer what you most want.

SCORPIO (Occ 23-Nov. 21) —You'll be remembering much that has you swinging dramatically from a good mood to abad one.

smallest gesture can have a dramatic effect.

Those who are able to decipher your unspoken messages will benefit greatly.

ARIES (March21-Apru 19) -- You maybe haunted by a vision from the past, but with one or two carefully timed actions, you can free yourself from its thrall.

TAURUS(Apru 20-May 20) —Youare not

required to do more than is asked ofyou, but It's time to take control of your past! remember, any extra effort is likely to be SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - You remembered and rewarded. may not know quite how to dowhat you must GEMINI (May 21-June20) - - You mayfeel do, but you have the feeling that if you do it, as though you have been left to your own all kinds of things will get better. devicesata tim e when you are in need of CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Once both company andadvice. the lights go ouu things really heat up —and CANCER (June 21-July 22) - You'll be anything that happens before that is merely moving with currents that cannot be seen, preamble to what matters most. only felu and you understand that you're AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can headed in the right direction. keep things from getting out of hand for aDIIQR5 F dl a q u pl » « t n R y p a « «c yourself and for others in your immediate COPYRIGHT2tll4 UNITED FEATURESYNDICATE INC vicinity.
