Folly Farm co-owner Cindy Edwards tends to the garden during her breaks from work. With the warmer weather, she said, her garden has flourished sooner than usual. Some of the fruits are tasting sweeter than normal.

• Warm weather affect ing localgardens in a positive way By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Gardenersarerejoicing atthe abnormally warm weather Eastern Oregon has experienced this past month. Many vegetables and fruits are flourishing and the ramifications are more leafy greens. Cindy Edwards, co-owner of Folly Farm in Cove, said the warm weather has affected her in nothing but good ways. 'The tomatoes are looking really good this year," Edwards said. Cindy and her husband, Ralph, work full-time jobs at home and on their

breaks go out to the garden. The garden takes up about one-third of an acre and seems tobe a good sizeforthe amount of time they have on their hands. 'The currants, a f'ruit plant native to the area, has been great this year," Edwards said."They are loaded, and the fruit is absolutely beautiful." The temperature in Union County is, on average, 85 degrees in July. August's temperature is usually about 85 degrees. The July average this year was in the

90s. And Folly Farm is loving it. Their gardens grow "a little bit of everything," Cindy said. Folly Farm grows numerous types of vegetables, fruitsand herbs. 'The spinach and lettuce were really quick this year," Edwards said.

She said she has already started planting succession plants. After one crop is done, she'll replant more of the same crop,or a differenttype,in itsplace. The spinach has already come up and they're on their second crop already, she sald. "Last year, we didn't have a spinach crop until the first of August," she said. Lettuce, too,isalready on itssecond crop.Despite the rapid growth, lettuce and spinach like cooler weather. Cindy has to be fast with pickingit or riskit wilting in the heat. She added that she doesn't believe the temperature is any warmer than usual, but she said it got warmer sooner this year which helped her garden substantially. SeeHeat / Page5A

Oregon pot campaign raises over 1 million By Hillary Borrud VVesCom News Service

The campaigntolegalizerecreational marijuana in Oregon had raised over $1 million, with three months left until voters decideon the November ballot measure. A spokesman for New Approach Oregon said last week

the group isjustgetting started on fundraising. Peter Zuckerman, communications director for the campaign, said Thursday that many potential donors probably watched from the sidelines to make sure supporters had collected enough signatures to qualify the initiative for the November ballot, which the state confirmedthey did on July 22. "Since we just qualified, the campaign is just beginning in earnest," Zuckerman said."Now

So far, the largest contributions come from individuals and groups on the East Coast, in New York City and Washington, D.C. A Washington, D.C.-based political action committee, New Approach PAC, contributed

$250,000 to New Approach Oregon in June, and The Oregonian has reported that

This year's Elgin Stampede royalty court and their mounts never looked more fashionable than when they were outfitted with designer leather by artist Amanda Waller. Waller won the bid to create the royalty court clothing and gear, including color-c oordinated chaps and beltsas well as tack with stylish colored inlays in a stamped croc pattern and pink fringeon theirhorses'breastcollars forthe theme 'Tough Enough toWear Pink Night." "They are so unique," said Stampede Queen Rachel Sauer."It takes a lot of time and talent to do what Amanda does. The headstalls and reins she made matched the green and white of ourclothes.She doesagreatjob." Waller is no stranger to the equestrian world, having grown up watching her father, Mike Lewis, train thoroughbred horses at a race track. She was also influenced by her grandfather, Leon Lewis, who was a jockey and race track steward for many years. She is a fourth generation equestrian who was placed in the saddle when she was 7 years old, and who later trained horses with her father in Idaho. Her natural talents had bolted out of the starting gate with a lot of energy and promise, until one day in 2007, it all came to a screeching halt. On an icy road in Oregon, she was driving her vehicle with her daughter, Reata, as a passenger in the rear seat. Coming toward her was an oncoming pilot car leading a wide load, and then suddenly, it lost control on the ice and hit her vehicle in a head-on collision. Waller was seriously injured, but her young daughter was safe in her child seat. "Itwas pretty bad,"shesaid."It cracked the whole engine in my vehicle." It was a defining moment in her life because she knew her days as a horse trainer were over. She could not physically handle the rigors of riding and training so many horses. Today, she rides only for leisure with her two children, Reata and Mikie. In 2008, after her recovery, she

Most of the fires are in the Baldy Creek drainage.

ENTERPRISE — Representatives from the Eastern Oregon Counties Association voted Friday in John Day to object to the forestplan out for public comment until Aug. 15. The draft document, known as The Blue Mountain Forest Plan Revision, is a guide to managing the Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman, Malheur and part of the Ochoco national forests. 'Too many things are wrong, including the basic tenet, and we don't thinkit's fixable,"Wallowa County Commissioner Mike Hayward said. Hayward said the plan doesn't focus enough on impacts to the public. 'The socioeconomic pieces have taken a huge backseat to ecological pieces," he said. Hayward said the association meets every other month by phone and about once a year in person. They met Friday to discuss the plan, theimpactsofsagegrouse and the federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes program. The counties have been represented throughout the plan's revision by Roger Lord of Mason Bruce & Girard, a forestry consulting firm in Portland. Hayward said Lord has analyzed the Forest Service's numbersprimarily concerning forest products. As the comment perioddraws to a close,the counties are looking to Lord to come up with a conclusion on the impacts of the plan to forestry. ''We think his comments are really well done," Hayward said. Wallowa County is compiling Lord's comments with Wallowa County's own comments on grazing and input from other groups. In addition,Hayward said several countyrepresentati ves are pouring over the 1,400-page document, looking what other organizati ons are sayingto make sure nothing is missed. The association and the individual counties' objection to the plan as is doesn't necessarily mean that the Forest Service will scrap the plan. "I think they will take the comments, analyze them and write a final environmental impact statement," Hayward said.'We will have to review that and decide where we go fiom there. We voted to send the message based on myriad comments. In essence, we think they need to start over. There are so manythings in error."

Nevada ranc er: Stando6 wi feds a spiritual battle The Associated Press

ST.GEORGE, UtahNevada rancher Cliven Bundy claims the April confrontation between the federal government and his armed supporters was part of an age-old spiritual battle

between good and evil. Bundy, a Mormon, told an Independent American Party gathering in St. George, Utah, on Saturday that God provided him personal inspiration in the showdown over cattle in Bunkerville,

Nevada, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. "The Lord told me ... if ithe local sherif doesn'tl take away these arms from federalagents,w ethepeople will have to face these arms in a civil war. He said, This

There's something refreshing about seeing a full town hall meeting. Our lives are busy, so when people slow down to engage with their communities on issues of importance, it's noteworthy — and oken

g&.

newsworthy.

Concerned Community Members for a Family Justice Center and members of Save Our Shelter joined with Shelter From the Storm last week to host a panel discussion and question and answer session to present an idea: a family justice center. It's an idea that would preserve Shelter From the Storm at its current location, its advocacy center built on the county campus in 1998 with the help of a community development block grant. The nonprofit is facing a September eviction from the county in order to site a$3.1 million courthouse on the SFS center's footprint. The state has oA'ered an unprecedented $2 million to the county for construction of the court facility. Ad hoc community groups have taken up the cause, asking county commissioners to find another way, a way that will allow construction of a much-needed courthouse but maintain the valuable community services provided by SFS. The town hall meeting offered one of the first tangible solutions we've heard. No doubt, it's ambitious. SFS Executive Director Teresa Crouser estimates the entire center would run about

$25 million. But if the center operates as planned, as a group of multidisciplinary agencies working toward family justice, then they could have a shot at some significant grants. The proposal includes law enforcement, an expanded jail, the courts, Mt. Emily Safe Center and SFS, and a parking garage in its plan. If done in a phased approach as has been discussed, it's not impossible for Union County. The idea is refreshingly positive amidst litigation. Though the county commissioners did not attend the town hall meeting, the county attorney did. We hope this is a sign that the commissioners are listening to their constituents and their concerns.

Union County hasn't been afraid to dream big dreams before, but we need all hands on deck to make them become a reality.

MYVOICE

Medicare milestone should be celebrated ith all the commotion in the courts about the Affordable Care Act, it would be easy to overlook an important birthday. July 30 was the 49th anniversary of the public health insurance program that covers our nation's seniors and people with severe disabilities. It'sa birthday tobecelebrated by all of us. Medicare became law in 1965 under President Lyndon B. Johnson. Before M edicare, the elderly faced poverty,fear ofbeing stricken by costly illness, and dependency on family or charity despite working for many years.

of 65. What a lifesaver Medicare has been. Today, Medicare is the nation's most popularsocialprogram. Medicare offers 49 years ofliving proof that public, universal health coverageissuperior toprivate insurance in every way. Medicare is more efficient than private health insurance, its costs have risen more slowly, and yet itprovides better accesstocare,better financial protection and higher patient satisfaction. Medicare has had the single greatest impact in our country's history in reducing racial inequities in health care. Unlike the rollout ofhealthcare.gov and state exchanges under the Affordable Care Act, Medicare was implemented smoothly and at low cost because the program is universal and didn't juggle enrollment in hundreds of private insurance plans. The Medicare program isnotperfect, of course. It has burdensome co-pays and deductibles, and its benefits could be better. But Medicare is cheaper and much more popular than private health insurance. Expanding Medicare to all ages would save more than enough to eliminate co-pays and deductibles, and guarantee comprehensive coverage

for all. We need a system that provides everyone with guaranteed medical care from birthtodeath.Allother developed countries cover everybody, pay half as much for their health care as we do and providebetteroutcomes.America isthe only developed country allowing the health care system to be run by private corporationsthat have transformed medical care into a commodity to be bought and sold. We need improved"Medicare for All," a single-payer national health insurance system in which a single agency organizes health care financing. Under a single-payer system, all residents of the U.S. would be covered for all medically necessary services,including doctor, hospital, preventive, long-term care, mental health, reproductive health care, dental, vision, prescription drug and medical supply costs.

health care each year and wastes at least a third of it on administration, corporate profits, a fragmented system and ineffective or unnecessary clinical care. Having one system that is accountable to the people, focused on quality patient care, and based on medical need and not ability to pay, changes the whole vision ofhealth care. Medicare for All would be funded with savings obtained by replacing today's insurance-driven system and modest new taxes based on ability to pay. An estimated95 percent ofthe population would spend less on health care than they do currently. Medicare for All would not only extend coverage to everyone below age 65,butitwould improve coverage for seniors — Canada's universal plan covers 79percent ofseniors'costscompared with 51 percent covered by Medicare in the U.S. It would make Medicare financially sustainable — Medicare would have saved $2 trillion if its costs had risen at Canadian rates since 1980. To celebrateMedicare'sbirthday, Health Care for All-Oregon activists are gathering throughout the state for rallies, special events, leafleting, postcardsto legislators,op-eds and lettersto the editorspreading the word that we want health care for all people in Oregon.

the Nez Perce Tribe, a 1978 wildlife map adopted into the county's comprehensive plan deems it deerhabitatand the county is charged with protecting the moraines. "All of her points deal with material in place through Goal t 5rom as early as 1978, but have been superseded by the current comprehensive plan," Black said. Goal i5spartofthe state's land use laws, adopted by the county, that protects natural resources. Black said Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sent a letter to the county requesting the homes be clustered to mitigate loss of openspace,butclustering them would make them more visible. His report recommends that the homes not be clustered and use the sitesas presented by the landowners, the Yanke Family Trust. "If it weren't for Measure 49, we wouldn't be looking at dwellings up there at all," Black said. The planning department and the commission ran into another unusual problem when determining regulations on the three dwellings. Since there is not supposed to be any development on the crest of the moraine, accordingto Goal 5,there is no law that restricts square footage. aWe heard in testimony that since there wasn't a square-footage requirement in Article 18 of Goal 5 you couldn't impose one," Black

said."If you look at the protection area, you will see there is no criteria for dwellings because you are not supposed to have dwellings there." The recommendations proposed by Black were to limit the size of one of the houses to 3,500-square feet with an attached garage and the other two homes to no more than 2,500-square feet with attached double car garages. No outbuildings, outdoorstorage,recreational vehicles orboatswere to be allowedattwo ofthe homesites. Rahn Hostetter, representing the Yanke Family Trust, said he objected to the size restric tion and proposed a limitof6,000-square feet instead. The commission agreed. Other restrictions included no seasonal lighting displays allowed or reflective material. Exterior lighting is not allowed on the west side and the homes must meet fire standards. Commission Chairman Ken Wick asked provisions be included that the home owners be responsible for weed control. The commission agreed to lookattheprovisions attheir August meeting one more time beforevoting to approve them. aWe need to see the changes made in black and white before we make a final decision," Planning Commissioner Chris Bullat said.

First woman ordained as Episcopal priest in Oregon dies Submitted to The Observer

The Rev. Letitia Croom, the first woman ordained as an Episcopal priestin Oregon, and among the fi rst 100 women ordained to the priesthoodin the Episcopal Church, died July 29 in Boise at age 89. July 29, coincidentally, was 40 years to the day when three retired bishops ordained the first 11 women who became Episcopal priests. A memorial service began at 11 a.m. Monday at Ascension Chapel in Cove. Letitia"Tish" Croom, who worked in both the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho and the Diocese of Eastern Oregon, is remembered with both fondness andrespect. "Her life was devoted to humanity and to the church. She was fearless in bringing

tough issues to the table for discussionand actions, "said the Rt. Rev. Rustin Kimsey, bishop of Eastern Oregon &om 1980 to 2000. In a 2008 interview, Kimsey said he could recall no real controversy when Eastern Oregon stepped forward in 1977 to become one ofthefi rstdiocesesto ordain a woman. "Eastern Oregon was incredibly open to all of that," Kimsey said. Kimsey, who in 1977 was apriestin thediocese,

added, "By simply being a woman she was one of our first windows into what that was going to be like, how the church was going to be changed by the experience of having ordained women. "It's radically changed our church. We're different for a lot of reasons than we were

50 years ago, and I think the ordination of women was pivotal." Bishop of Idaho Norman L. Foote ordained Croom a deacon in 1971 — the highest ordained post a woman could then hold in the Episcopal Church — and she served as assistant at Church of the Holy Nativity in Meridian, Idaho, &om 1972 to 1974. She was ordained a priest on Jan. 16, 1977, just 16 days after the Episcopal Church officially endorsed the ordination of women, by the fourth bishop of Eastern Oregon, the Rt. Rev. William 0.

Nanette Lehman, a second grade teacher at Haines Elementary School in Haines, joined an American delegationof30 awardwinning educators on a field study of China June 20-28, as part of the 2014 NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship, a year-long learning journey Educators who took part built their global competency skil ls,or the capacity and disposition to understand and acton issues ofglobal significance. "Inorderfor students to be preparedforthe global age, their educators must be equipped with the knowledge, skills and disposition to teach in the global age,"said HarrietSanford, president and CEO of the NEA Foundation. "Our Global Learning Fellows program has an intentional focus on supporting educators as they strengthen their global competencies: investigating the world beyond one's immediate environment; recognizing multiple perspectives; communicating ideas effectively with diverse audiences; and taking action to improve conditions." "I will forever be grateful for this life-changing opportunity to experience firsthand the sights, sounds, smellsand tastesofthe Chinese culture," Lehman said."I was honored to

Investing in education The fellowship expands on the NEA Foundation's mission to advance student achievement by investing in public education that will prepare all students to learn and thrive in a rapidly changing world. It is designed to help educators, all recipients of the NEA Foundation's Award for Teaching Excellence, acquire the necessary skills to integrate global competence into their daily classroom instruction, advance pedagogy in their school and district ,prepare students to thrive in the interconnected global age, and thus contributeto the closing ofthe global achievement gap. Itprovidesa structured and collaborative learning experience that supports educators as they acquire

global competence skills. Over the course of the year, Fellows were supported by the NEA Foundation staf, partners and other field experts, as they worked through the following: 1. Readings and webinars to introduce global competence and country specific concepts 2. Online coursework on global competence and country specific concepts 3. Introductory language learning 4. A two-day professional development workshop withsessions led by leaders in global competency and country-specific knowledge 5. An international field study designed to focus on the themes of global competence, education 4oth practice and issues ofinternational, national, and state policy) and economics. The international field study in China included visits to schools in Beijing and Xi'antoprovideeducators with structured opportunities to observe high quality instruction and to interact with Chinese teachers and administrators.

It also included opportunities to investigate China's historical and cultural significance. In preparation, the Fellows completed an online course to provide them with a framework to contextualize their experiences in China by examining the impact of its historical and cultural legacies on contemporary Chinese society and educational system. The NEA Foundation alsopartnered with Rosetta Stone to provide Fellows with basic Mandarin language training. "As we know, language istheroad map toother cultures and is therefore an important tool for building global understanding," Sanford sard. The Fellows are now bringing their knowledge home, with a lesson plan, unit plan or full curriculum integerated with global competency skills. By creating this plan and sharing with educators around the world via an open-source platform, they are contributing to an increasing field of knowledge on this topic. Furthermore, the Fellows become posit ioned to lead the profession by becoming advocatesforgloballearning and global competence within their schools, communities and districts. Educators from around the world can access 2013 NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellows' plans via the open-source platform, BetterLesson.com, where dozensofgloballesson plans created by previous fellows can easily be replicated.

Ontario, worked with Croom when he was a deacon and both were involved with the Seven Rivers Cluster. As a missioner, she served as priest at churches in both Nyssa and Vale.

Giants win Hall of Fame game CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Andre Williams ran up some big numbers at Boston College. The fourth-round draft pick is showing glimpses that he can do it for the NewYork Giants, too. Williams had seven carries for 48 yards and scored on a 3-yard run in a 17-13 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in the preseason-opening Hall of Fame Game. "It gives me confidence. I feel like I'm supposed to be here," said Williams, who led the nation with 2,177 yards rushing last season. And a more important part with David Wilson sidelined after sustaining his second neck injury in less than a year. Filling the No. 2 spot behind newly acquired starter Rashad Jennings, the Heisman Trophy finalist helped provide the Giants' re-tooled backfield a 1-2 punch. Williams' score, which came after a 21-yard scamper off left tackle, put the Giants up 7-3 late in the first quarter.

Kyler Braseth ran into a stifF test Friday night. Riding in front of his fiiends and family, La Grande's Braseth was bucked offhis bull during the first round of the Legacy Ford Buckout Friday night at the Legacy Ford Buckout at Mavericks Arena at the Union County Fairgrounds.

Braseth rode a bull out of Washington that he had never ridden before. This was the fourth annual Buckoutevent,and Braseth has ridden in each one. Braseth has competed in the Columbia River Circuit Rodeo and won the Union County Livestock Show in 2006. Currently, he competes in open bull rides and Professional Bull Riders competitions.

He said he enjoyed riding under the lights in La Grande, but also acknowledged that it can be diKcult riding in his hometown. "I mean it's always fun, but you've got a lotofpressure on you,too," Braseth said.'That's even for the top cowboys in the world. They always seem to have trouble at events in their towns."

fter the East-West Shrine All-Star football game Saturday at Baker City High School was over, both teams were vtsibly happy and relieved. Halfbme lasted over 2-V2 hours due to lightning delays, making coaches, players and officials wonder if the game would ever be finished. In truth, the game shouldhave been called offat halftime. Following the first lightning delay, the two teams were able toplay justover five minutes of football before the lightning struck again. Fans in the stands could be heard yelling at the officials to call the game, but the players seemed willing to wait an eternity to finish what for most of them would be the last competitive football game oftheircareers. While the rain was intermittent, the lightning was constant. The officials continuously ignored the lightning's persistence. When thegame resumed after the second lightning delaythat lasted overan hour, the lightning strikes did not subside, they were simply ignored. With fans yelling for the game togetcalled afterthe second lightning delay, the announcer said the delay was a decision based on the players' safety. However, the safest thing the officials could have done was to call the game off completely.

hype: Now I understand In the past my experience with huckleberries has been finding a few here and there while out hiking, or it's that everybodyhas their secretspotand they have no intentions of ever letting on to where that is. Up until this year I never understood the hype that surrounds them. They're good, but so are otherberriesthataren'tassm alland hard to find.W hen we moved here I started to hear about the huckleberries but there was such an air of secrecy that surrounds the good places to pick that we didn't pursue finding any. From what I have been told by the locals thisyeartheberriesareso abundant that there is less fear of them beingoverpicked.Idecided thatitwas time to figure out if picking huckleberries was something I'd be interested in pursuing with my family. That seems to be my train of thought nowadays — something is only worth doing if the family can do it together. A friend of mine and I loaded up our kids and went up to Mount Emily. Neither of us knew exactly where to go so it added to the adventure. Once we spotted a car alongthe road we drove a littlefurther and lo and behold there were the sweet little berries just waiting to be picked. I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience.

AND SO IT GROWS

I was very excited to go hunting for huckleberries. As you know I love to cook new recipesand to be abletopick the berriesfrom the forest is really cool. The first year ofliving in Halfway continues to bring joy into my life. Even with all this heat I love living here. I really enjoyed making both of these recipes. They were easy and delicious. The berries freeze wonderfully. I would love to hear how you areenjoying them. Stay cool, my friends.

Summer heat: Tough on the trees "Summertime, and thetivin'is easy." The Gershwin tune from the musical "Porgy and Bess" is pretty, no doubt. But not exactly accurate by my standards this summer. The living hasn't been all that easy with temperatures in the 90s day after day and not dropping below the 50s night after night. While I know not everyone would agree with me, I don't call that easy living — not for people, or animals or even for most plants withouttheproper careiand aircondition-

ing for people and pets). My garden has drooped on more than one occasion this summer, especially before the drip watering system in our expanded garden was properly in place. SeeTrees/Ebge 2B

Each had a name and over the few days we learned various personality traits.Itfeels strange to find yourself leaning on the fence talking to cows, but it happened. We even visited the nursery in the barn to visit the newest member of the herd. The foodwas fabulous and we learned another new word — locavore. This was what the people involved in the slow food movement were called. Basically it meant that they tried to find their food source no farther than 100 miles from home. Sometimes they had to go farther, but here at the farm the chickens and eggs came from just down the road and the vegetables and herbs came from the garden right next to the house. The water buffalo milk went to a local dairy to be made into cheese.

2B — THE OBSERVER a BAKER CITY HERALD

DORY Continued ~om Page 1B It wasn't a remarkable wedding in anyone else's book, but I see our family living at 304Alder St. It no longer exists except in memory, so maybe it bears telling. The street now is called Sunset Drive, paved and lined with homes all along both sides and looking nothing like it did back in 1946, even to its numbering system. You see, at that time, you would travel up C Avenue just as you do now except that you couldn't drive on up the hill to Walnut Street because that avenue ended at Alder Street and you could only turn right to continue on. Even to the left that is now known as Oak Street wasn't pushed through yet. Now in position, we turn right onto Alder Street (Sunset Drivel by the invisible mailbox that was ours, a graveled road with open acreageon both sidesofthe street, particularly on the left. It was the pastured hillside that belonged to our family. It was fenced to keep in our horse and our cow, Nancy, that gave so much rich milk and cream. I'm not sure just how far we had to walk along that road to reach our house, but as a youngster I would have guessed about a quarter of a mile, maybe less. Our house was on the left side of the road but set

back to allow for a circular driveway in front of the two-story yellow house with white trim. My mother had planted flowers all along the circle's edge andmy dad had planted his favorite willow tree within the grassy circle. There was a white picket fencealong the road section of land that we called our yard, open in two places, one by arose-covered trellisat the center and the other a wide gate tothe far rightto allow vehicles admission. In between the two gates stood a crabapple tree whose fruit made the best of jellies. The chicken house was off to the right of the ingress road with a wire fence, chicken wire they called it, to keep the fowl from running loose. Beside the house, to the otherside,was a talltree with a very large trunk, making me think it may have been an oak or something on that order. The back porch of the house was on that side, too. Behind the house was a variety of outbuildings — barn, woodshed, pig barn, etc. See, that's how memory takes over when I simply wanted to say that my sister Betty and her intended, Maurice, had their lawn wedding there on this particular date.Itwas a splendid affair to us, nothing like you would use that word for these days, but my mom's flowers were in bloom and thetablesforrefreshments and gift swere there,covered

with freshly ironed linen tablecloths, wedding napkins, silverware, and paper plates to hold the wedding cake when it was cut. The Eagles Lodge, I suppose it was, had loaned the family folding chairs for those attending the wedding, and it was a fine weather day that August afternoon. Inside the house, my sister was outfitted in her white wedding dress and veil, and I in the maroon-colored satin gown she had purchased for meas herbridesmaid. We had the usual jitters and we certainly didn't know the protocol ofa wedding procession. For some reason when they lined us up, my sister went first and I followed. I don't know if anyone talked aboutthat tacticalerror,but w e repeated ityearslater when I served as bridesmaid for a cousin. Anyway, here is even a funnier part: My sister walked out the door and attempted to go down the frontsteps. As she stepped forward, so did I; however, I didn't realize that as I did so I was stepping on the hem of her gown, arresting the processional. She would back up and so would I, then we would step forward again, repeating the same error. Finally, she turned her head and growled, 'You're stepping on my dress." Once alerted, Icorrected my error and the ceremony was able to proceed down the stepsto stand beside her

groom and the minister. My dad was there, too, and gave my sister in marriage. Everything went according to plan from there on, even the reception with the cutting and serving of the cake and the opening of the gifts. There was always a four o'clock breeze that came up around the house every day and we hadn't counted on that, so when it arrived, the napkins went flying across the yard and the table linens flapped as though to take ofE too. Fortunately, the guests took it all in stride and they were able to stay until the wedding couple had driven away and then they, too, left us to finish cleaning up the mess with the help of faithful relatives. You see, this wasn't anything unusual or especially exciting, but simply one of my warm memories of that place called 304 Alder St. that is no longer there or discernible. Even the willow tree is gone now. In spiteofthe errors that come along with most weddings, the future was beckoning me. It was only a month later that I met my George so that we could fall in love and be married on Dec. 21 of thatsame year,1946. W e chose tobe marri ed in the old wooden First Christian Church that isn't there, either, and it had its foibles, too. But that's another story.

A couple of weeks ago we went to Wallowa Lake and as we passed through Lostine I noticed that the Lostine Tavern, which had been closed for some time, was again open and the thingI noticed mostwas thatit had super clean windows. And then there was that the sign out front advertising that itwas a farm-to-table restaurant.Thesefolkswerelocavores! We couldn't resist, so on the way home we stopped in to see what was cookin. Wow! What a change! The threeowners — Lynn, Lisa,and Pete — have performed miracles with a combination oflove, lots of work and many enthusiastic supporters. From the beautiful old stone wall behind the bar constructed of salvaged wood from the Eastern Oregon Lumber Mill to the beautiful ceiling and gleaming open kitchen they have turned a very tired over 70-year-old building into a vibrant inviting place to enjoy a delicious meal. Their menu varies according to what is available but they always have something that should appeal to everyone while also offering something that is creative and new to try. They still offer taco night on Wednesday and burgers, both with just a bit of a twist, but my"something new favorite" so far is the open faced roasted beet sandwich with ricotta and nettle-green garlic pestoon Grand Centralbread. It is worth a drive to Lostine to enjoy a meal at this new "old restaurant." Meals are served 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday with dinner specials from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. You are in for a treatand probably willhavetraveled farther than your dinner to get there! Enjoy!

Continued from Rge 1B Our kids ran around to their hearts' content and occasionally helped fill our buckets. I was able to sit my 1-year-old down on the ground next to me as I picked. He was delighted that he could reach the berries. His face and hands were smeared with purple juice and he was covered in dirt, but he was happy. I finally had to pull him away because I was worried he'd get a bellyache. It was a perfect morning activity to get the kids out into the mountains and then come home to enjoy the literal

fruits of our labors. I picked only about three cups of berriesbut itwasmo re than I had ever picked before. When I hear people talk about huckleberries they often reference their family picking together. Picking huckleberries is an opportunity for memories to be made in the mountains. If you live in the valley and have never had much luck pickingthe berriesorhave never tried, this year is the time to give huckleberry

TREES Continued ~om Page 1B The recent rains have been welcome, but still insufficient to green up the lawn and sustain the gardenatthepace itis growing. Of special concern for me is the flame maple tree we plan to enjoy for years to come and which is home to anest ofrobinswe've enjoyed watching Mamma Robinfeed and tend fora few weeks this summer. Not providing enough water for your tree can cause stress that leaves it more susceptible to insect infestation and disease, the Oregon Department of Forestry warns. And watering your tree only when you water the lawn around it just simply isn't enough to ensure the tree a long and healthy life. It's not difficult to detect whether you are shorting your tree on water, according to ODF. The agency offersthese tipsfor assessing whether your trees are drought-stressed: • Leaves will begin to look dull, and sometimes, limp. More advanced symptoms are browning of leaves, wilting and curling at the edges. • Leaves might develop a scorched or burned look, turning yellow or brown on outside edges or between leaf veins. Leaves may even appear smaller than usual, drop prematurely, or turn brown, but remain on the tree. • When evergreen trees are stressed they can turn yellow, red, purple or brown. To properly water your trees, the soil should be saturated within the drip line, ODF advises. The drip line is the area outside the tree's root zone where rain water runs off it. That's where water is best absorbed— atthe drip line and beyond — rather than close to the trunk. To encourage the growth of deep roots that will require less frequent watering, trees should be watered deeply on a less frequent basis rather than daily shallow watering, according to the experts. A regular hose or a

soaker hose can be used to water deeply and slowly to make sure the water doesn't simply run off the surfacebefore penetrating through to the tree's roots. Moving the hose regularly around the tree during the watering cycle also will help ensure that it is getting enough water. Here's a slow-watering technique offered by ODF that I'd like to try with my tree: Put a nail hole in the bottom(nearthe edge)of a five-gallon bucket. Fill the bucket with water and placeitunder the tree's canopy. Refill the leaky bucket two or three times, moving it at each refill as you continue to water. You should also consider watering during the cooler hours of the day, if possible, which makes your irrigating efforts more efficient. And using mulch around the tree will help retain moisture and keep weeds down. ODF recommends a mulch of bark, wood chips, leaves or evergreen needles. The mulch should be placed within the drip line at a depth of 4 inches, leaving a 6-inch space between the mulch and the tree trunk. And while it's hard to resist the urge to create the pleasurable sight, planting flowers or groundcover under your tree's canopy is discouraged. Other plants will only compete with your tree for moisture and nutrients. As our treeentersits third year in our backyard and we watch the baby robins prepare to try their wings, we work diligently to ensure that we're giving it enough water. And though I started writing with a complaint about the not-so-easy-living of summertime in Baker City, I don't want to rush the season. I'll savor the summer days (with the benefit of airconditioning), reaping the rewardsofa well-cared-for tree: a shady yard, a home fora bird'snestand asits name implies, green leaves that will transform to the color of a bright red flame as the heat of summer gives way to the cooler nights of

today -- or tomorrow, either. Still, you can surely maintain a healthy dynamic. ARIES (March 21-Aprll 19) — Youi ay be puzzledby the way the day progresses,but don't let yourselfbe distracted by the unusual! Focus on assigned tasks. TAURUS (Aprll 20-May 20) —You can give another the help he or she needs without hindering your own progress in anyway. Is a partnership in the making? GEMINI (May 21-Juae 20) -- You can accomplish more during morning hours than you can in the af'ternoon, so you'll want to "front load" your day accordingly. CANCER (Juae 21-July22)- - Others i ay be entirely unaware of what you are trying to accomplish. It's up to you whether you want to share your intentions or not.

DEAR ABBY: I am a happily married, walking. When I arrive home, I'll frnd his son 26-year-old female withjust one problem: watching TV and Mack doing something else. I'm afraid to have children. I keep telling him I need respect. What Ihave always wanted children, andit's would you do i fyou were in my shoes? Temperatures are in the mid-90s here in the something myhusband and I often discuss. Anytime we are asked when we plan to start summer, and it can get to you when you're our family, we always say four to frve years, but walking. — UPSET MAMA we have been saying thissame thing forfour IN TEXAS years. Ialwaysthought I' d beready by now. My husband has been very DEAR UPSET: If you haven't ASKED Mack to sick for the past few years DEA R pick you up when he leaves and had to take time off work. We were able to scrape ABB Y work so you're not stuck in the blazing heat — with your by on my salary, but it was child, yet — you should. That tough. He returned to work recently and is frne. But now all I can think he wouldn't think of it himself shows not only a lack of consideration for your feelings aboutishow much children cost,and I'm afraidwe'llneverhaveenough money to but also for your little girl's welfare. have a baby. Because his behavior has changed since I also worry about what if our child you started living with him, consider this change to be a red flag. If things don't imwould be killed in an accident, molested or kidnapped. I ask myself why anyone would prove,startlooking for other living arrangementsforyou and your daughter because want to bring children into such a scary world, yet I still want them. Please help me. I it appears you and Mack do better when am very upset and don't know what to do. you're not cohabiting.

term elections that will decidecontroloftheSenate are three months away, and the 2016 presi dentialcampaign will startin earnestsoon after. Yet the Republican Party still can't figure out what to do about illegal immigration. It's the issue that vexed Republicans as much as any in their 2012 presidential loss. It's the one problem the partydeclared itm ustresolve to win future presidential races. And itstillm anaged to bedevil theparty again last week, when House Republicans splintered and stumbled for a day before passing a face-saving bill late Friday. The fiasco proved anew that a small number of uncompromisingconservatives havethepower to hamper the efforts of GOP leaders to craft coherent positions on key issues — including one that nearly two-thirds ofAmericans say is an important to them personally, according to an Associated Press-GK poll released last week. "Itwould beverybad for Republicans in the House not to offer their vision ofhow they would fix the problem," South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said when the initial House bill onimmigration collapsed. While Republicans in the House areabletorejectthe proposals ofDemocrats,Graham said, that's not enough: "At least they have a vision." While often a flashpoint issue among Republicans in their primaries this year, thepartycould geta grace

DEAR ABBY: My friend "Merle's"daughter got engaged, and Merle threw an engagement party for her and the husband-to-be. The couple announced where they were registered in the Facebook invitation (which I thought was truly insensitive). People arrived for the engagement party with gifts. I did not take one. I frgured I'd wait until the wedding which is ayear away. I also thought, 'What if they change their minds and don't get married?" WasIwrongnot totakeagift? IguessI j ust don't understand the current etiquette.

— STUMPED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR STUMPED: You accepted the invitation, didn't you? Because you did, you should have given the couple a gift. You did not have to take one to the party, but you should send something within a short time. iSuggestion: A nice picture frame to hold their engagement photo.)

New York, head of the Democrats' efforts to win House elections."But swing voters and persuadable voters,they want solutions." Hispanics made up less than 3percent ofallregisteredvotersin 2012 in seven other states with competitive Senate races: Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia and Kentucky. So any Democratic benefits from an Obama executive action on immigration could be just as limited. Still, a few Democratic senators in those tight contests — including Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mark Pryor of Arkansasare putting some distance between themselves and the president. The White House, Pryor said, is "sending mixed messages: telling folks not to cross the border illegally and then turning around to hand out work permits to people who are already here

periodofsortsin November. Immigration appears likely to have only a modest impact on the roughly 10 Senate races that will determine control of the chamber. The possible exception is the race between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and GOP Rep. Cory Gardner in Colorado, where Hispanic votersmade up 14 percent of theelectorate in 2012. Even if President Barack Obama moves ahead with a proposal to give work pennits to millions ofimmigrants living in the countryillegally, removing thethreatofdeportation, Democratic strategistssay Republicans won'treap much of a benefit. Republicans, they argue, have already squeezed as much as they can from votersangry atthe president byhammering at his record on health care, the IRS, foreign policy and other issues.

WASHINGTON — Mid-

— UNCERTAIN IN TULSA DEAR UNCERTAIN: I understand your concerns and they are valid. Having children is an act of faith as well as an investment in the future. If you think about it, life itself is a gamble. Mature individuals do everything they can to keep the odds in their favor. They work hard, live healthy lives, buy insurance, start an education fund for their children, etc. There are no guarantees — but people keep having children anyway. Because you feel stuck in making this decision, it would be helpful to discuss your concerns with a licensed mental health professional who can help you put your fears to rest.
