"Absolutely," she said.

Gwen Trice, executive director of the Maxville Heritage Center in Joseph, cannot believe her good fortune.

The Maxville Heritage Center has received a major addition from Boise Cascade that will help bring the story of the old Wallowa Countyrailroad logging town of Maxville into sharper focus. The heritage center has been given a large replica of a Wallowa and Union county logging map produced about 100 years ago by the old La Grande-based George Palmer Lumber Co. 'This is awesome. I have been dreaming of this map since I first saw it in 2009," Trice said. "It is such a gift."

The map was presented to Trice by Tom Insko on behalfofBoise Cascade.

Insko, Boise Cascade's area manager, said in a press release, that he believes it is appropriate that the Maxville HeritageCenterhave themap because it depicts many logging railroad lines in the portion of Wallowa County known as the Maxville area.

Boise Cascade had the map set in an"archival quality frame" before Insko presented it to Trice.

The map is actually a scan of the original, one which is strikingly authentic.

The map was created when railroad spurs were critical to economically transporting lumber to mills for processing. The trucks available at the time were not big enough to quickly transport large amounts ofharvested timber, Trice said.

The Maxville community is located about 15 miles north ofWallowa and in existencefor about12years through the early 1930s.

It had a population of 400, induding 60African Americans. Most of the African Americans were from the South and Midwest and had been recruited by the Bowman-Hicks Lumber Co. to workin Northeast Oregon, Trice said.

Sign language can be a life-saving tool, something Mike Gooderham of La Grandeknows fi rsthand.

Four years ago, Gooderham, then a member of the Anthony Lakes Ski Patrol, saved a life with the help of decades of experience, top-of-the-line skill and some well-timed hand gestures.

The individual rescued was a skier at Anthony Lakes who had broken the femur in his right leg so badly his life was in peril.

"I knew right away that it was a very serious situation," said Gooderham, recalling what he observed the moment he arrivedatthe scene oftheskiaccident.

Gooderham quickly immobilized the man's legs with the help of fellow ski patrollers. Gooderham, directing the first aideffort,also focused on keeping the victim calm to help prevent him from going into shock.

"Everything we said was reassuring," Gooderham said.

When the ski patrollers communicated among themselves about the serious nature of the injury, they used a form of sign language so they would not alarm the injured man.

The man was later taken off the mountain on a toboggan and transported to a hospital by ambulance. Today, the man is completely recovered due in no small measure to the first responder care he received from Gooderham.

Gooderham later was awarded the prestigious Purple Merit Star from the National Ski Patrol for his efforts. The award is given to thosewho save a life.

The award is one of a number Gooderham and his wife, Patty, received while serving as members of the Anthony Lakes Ski Patrol for a combined total of almost 80 years. It was a remarkable and historic run, one which ended earlier this summer when the couple stepped down as members of the ski patrol. Mike had been part of the ski patrol since 1963 and Patty since 1986.

Few husbandand wifeteams have accomplishedmore as skipatrollers than the Gooderhams. In 1992, the National Ski Patrol named Mike its outstanding alpine patroller and Patty received its outstanding auxiliary patroller award.

Mike Gooderham believes it was the first and only time in the National Ski Patrol's 76-year history that a husband and wife received the awards the same year.

The awards recognized the skill and tireless effortsofthe Gooderhams, while assisting the Anthony Lakes Ski Patrol. On ski days they would arrive at Anthony Lakes at 7 a.m. to make sure the runs were in good and safe condition. Mike Gooderham was also involved in avalanche mitigation work as part of this process.

A 1935 Studebaker Dictator Coupe attracts attention during the Memory Cruise showand-shine Saturday at GeiserPollman Park. About 175 cars participated in the cruise.

A hailstorm, most generally, qualifies as a nuisance.

Fortunately the dark clouds that amassed over Baker City on Friday night, the first day of the 24thannual Memory Cruise, slunk away without dropping anything dangerousover an estimated 175 vintageautomobilesthatgathered in Baker City.

In the storm's wake was a sunny Saturday, and one of the larger turnouts in the show's history, said Wayne Ryder, one of the

"I think it was very successful," Ryder said this morning.'We had about 20 more cars than last year.

Much of that increase is from Idaho, Ryder said. ''We had more cars this year from out of town," he said.'We put fliers up all over."

Although cars from neighboring states have always been integral to the Memory Cruise, Ryder said Feed at Quail Ridge Golf Course his goal is to entice more local car and the downtown cruise on owners to attend and ensure the Main Street. event's momentum continues.

(0 It has been argued by some in the community that since the inception of La Grande's Urban Renewal District in 1999, the city has yet to see tangible fruits of its economic development programs.

The Urban Renewal Agency has allocated funding through the years for projects to restore storefronts throughitsfacade program and has helped fund infrastructure projects up to$75,000 per project.

Yet still, some argue they haven't seen a return on investment &om these endeavors.

As the current URAhas said throughout the past six months as the city looked into the possibility of providing funding for a downtown grocery store, those economic development policies don't seem to be working. Time to try something new, agency members have said.

We agree.

Last week's decision to fund Market Place Family Foods — with a loan that may convert to a grant if the store meets job requirements and other criteria — may leave a bad taste in your mouth. True, the

URA is risking a lot of money — $500,000 plus interest — to bet on the store's success. True, those funds are public dollars.

But Urban Renewal dollars cannot be used to upgrade La Grande's schools or repave streets. These limitations means the URA, along with its advisory commission, must decide how to eA'ectively use funds in a way that will best improve the city's economic conditions and grow local businesses.

We have to hope that the city has success with Market Place Family Foods. Grocer Troy Berglund has a history of success just up the road in Joseph that could translate into a revitalization of La Grande's downtown core. He has a plan to leverage his Mt. Joseph Family Foods store to bring competitive pricing to both locations.

We would be lying if we said this is an easy endeavor to support. Like any economic development decision, there is inherent risk involved. It's disconcerting that the city does not have a first position lien on the property. There is a real concern about the city's protection in the event that the grocery storeis notsuccessful.

But the city has made an e6'ort to protect itself as best it can. It is not simply giving away half a million dollars. In order to become a grant, the store must open and stay open, first of all, and provide familywage jobs. If the store cannot meet the targets laid out in the agreement with the city, the$500,000 loan will remain just that.

Mayor DanPokorney,who voted againstfunding the store, impressed us with a statement he made at last week's meeting. He believes$500,000 is far too much money to be giving a business a leg up with, and maybe he is right, but he also said that if the store is built that he will be spending his dollars there.

To us, this is an important and telling statement.

Despite your feelings on the URA's decision, they have opened a door for an opportunity to bring a business that carries consumable goods to our community. Shopping locally at that store — and at the many other locally owned businesses in the areaonly improves its chances of success.

Your views Kern: Self-serving politicians shouldn't try to m anage land To the Editor: This letter is in regard to the Blue Mountains Forest Plan Revisions, which include Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur national forests.

Every plant, microorganism and animal on Earth exists within an ecosystem, a complex network of interdependent relationships in which each individual strand is important and contributes to the success of the whole.

Ecosystems, in turn, interact with one another to form the biosphere ithe zone oflife on our planet). These systems, so important to the world around us, are far trom stable. The intermountain lowlands of the western United States isconsideredone ofthe m ostim periled ecosystems in North America.

The rapidgrowth ofhuman population and their attendant technologies have created unprecedented forcesof ecological change. Once you understand the biosphere's interactive network ofrelationships,you develop a deeper appreciation ofthe complexity ofthe life around us.

Dale Bosworth, the former forest service chief, named unrestricted motor vehicle use as one of the four major threatstonationalforests.He specifically cited the growing popularity of ATVs and their potentialtocontributeto erosion, harassment of wildlife and conflict with other forest users. He ordered each national forest to write a travel management plan that would designate which roads,trailsand areas would be open to m otor vehicles.

A ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that"there can be no doubt that the Dept. of Agriculture iof which the Forest Service is a part) possessesstatutory authority toregulate activities related to mining even in nonw ilderness areas in orderto preserve the nationalforests."

W e need tokeep the self-serving state and local politicians from trying to manage our public lands and let the Forest Service do their job.

This is still an urgent concern with the implementation of the county's plan to site the court facility on the footprint of Shelter From the Storm, while making no provisions to remedy the harm inflicted on SFS. M any in our community have presented options to the county commissioners. However, at this point the commissioners have not responded publicly to requests for consideration. If the commissioners proceed with their plans to demolish Shelter From the Storm, what are their plans to maintain services to thevictims ofdomesticviolence?We challenge the commissioners to present a plan that ensures the continued high levelofservicesofShelter From the Storm if their building is demolished.

It is utterly a waste of taxpayers' money to send one of the newest county buildings to the landfill. If the county were to acknowledge their responsibility in protecting women, children and other victims of domestic violence, it would be obvious that it is not fiscally prudent to destroy a building specifically designed for its purpose. Just as the court wants a building specifically designed for its purpose, thedomesticviolence center needs the same accommodation.

The commissioners contend that the SFS facility is only for otflces. This stance neglects the essential nature of the shelter, a building in which 97

Moore: Stance of railroads on train whistles an insult To the Editor: Regarding the train horns: The position of the railroads is an insult to the intelligence of the people of La Grande.

For them to offer with a straight face the proposition thatitisnecessaryfor the publicsafety for theirtrainsto blast a noise that wakes the dead for miles around is indefensible. In no other civilized country is the warning signal of a train approaching a crossing anywhere near as loud, and the railroad otflcials know it. Is their underlying belief that the peoplearetoostupid topay attention to an approaching train, a train that is shaking the ground and sending out a headlight beam many times brighter than any car or truck? Are the people in the rest of the civilized world that much smarter or more attentive?

Finally, the horns don't work. Every yearhundreds ofpeople arekilled as they walk along the tracks or try to beat the train in their vehicles. It is an absolute certainty that in every one of these cases the engineer blew the horn long and loud, and people for miles around heard it, but the now-dead paid no attention.

It'stoo bad,butsome people arejusttoo obliviousto save theirown lives,and thereisnopurpose served by deafening the entire city trying to save them.

And if the railroad really cared they would install signals at the crossings, not on the trains, signals that would onlyalertthepeople atthetracks,and not deafen the entire city.

"Sometimes it can be a very simple thing," she said."Other times it can be an unusual situation. Residents have their own rights and the volunteer is there to help them."

Jordan said some seniors going into an assisted living home, look at it like purgatory.

The volunteer goes around and visits the seniors and helps to make their life

Ideally, this position is for a retired person, Jordan said.

'The iappropriatel background in this field are medical, law enforcement, teachers, military, nurses and health careprofessionals, "Jordan said."It requires strong communication skills."

Mickey Edwards, 72, was a clinical psychologist and social worker. She became an ombudsman in 2006.

She initially knew about the program through her work but heard about it again from AARP and took it as asign tovolunteer.

"Itwas sortofaclearm essage that I neededtogetinvolved,"Edwards said.

She went through the five-day training required to get certified.

Jordan said a volunteer should be preparedto setaside fourhours per week to volunteer.

"In reality, it's five to 10 hours a week, depending on the issues you're dealing with," Jordan said.

Edwards agreed it depends on the issues. Recently, she said, she's been putting in more hours because of things going on and having to work with the Department of Human Services.

Edwards said the time she's spent being an ombudsman has been rewarding.

"Iadvocatefor peoplewho arenot residences of their own home," she said.

"Oft I have heard of you, my Lord Berowne!" declaims a member of the troupe from the front of the small blackbox Stage Door Theater, her eyes coy, a small smile curling up her cheeks as she acts scene five from Shakespeare's "Love's Labor Lost."

"No, no, dear! It's Lord Berowne," Lisa Harrow yells, interrupting, furiously brushing back her bright blonde hair, shoving up her glasses and gesticulating widely, her heavy New Zealand accent reverberating across the room.'You've got to give my Lord Berowne all the sex and fabulousness you have, dear! You have to soothe and woo him if you want to knife him!"

they run the scene again.

And again. Line after line, word after word, eking out every little bit of meaning and emotion they can.

This was the scene at Grant Turner's Shakespearean troupe's first workshop featuring Lisa Harrow, an award-winning Shakespeare performer, honing the troupe for their first performance slatedfor May 2015,less than a year away.

"I haven't done this in 20 years," said Kevin Cahill,

theater teacher at La Grande High School and acting member of the troupe."So I'm, like, really happy up there."

Turner is a former Eastern Oregon University student who moved to Portland to perform Shakespeare.

And now, he's returned to La Grande with a mission: to bring Shakespeare like La Grande's never seen. And recently, he gathered the troupe members with whom he'll do it.

Building relationships The troupe will meet monthly or bi-monthly for the next year, over which time they will study and rehearse next year's play. aWe'll get to know each other really well," said Rose Peacock,theater graduate of EOU and member of the

"It will be nice," said Wylie Peacock, Rose's husband and also a member of the troupe.

"Instead of doing one show to another to another to another with different actors, iwe will havel a single focus from show to show."

And that focus? According to Turner, to understand every word of each play and to relay that understanding in an intimate way to the audience, evoking active and engaged responses.

"Understand every word you say," Harrow said.

"Because if you don't understand, no one watching will."

Will Bowman / ForTbe Observer

Lisa Harrow, award-winning Shakespeare actress, teaches the troupe at the Stage Door Theater.

Cahill is excited for the vivacity this method brings to Shakespeare's plays.

"The similarity between hip hop, spoken word poetry and this Shakespeare," he said, "is that the language is really alive."

"It sounds as if real people rather than actors are speaking it," Harrow said,"people who are three-dimensional and alive."

But in the end, Harrow said, rehearsal and study

are meaningless if an actor can't engage the audience.

Audience response and engagement, she said, feeds the actors and is a good measure ofhow effec tive a troupe isat relaying the lines.

Turner, though, is confident in his troupe's ability.

"Once we get comfortable with this," he said, "I think audiences are going to see Shakespeare in a way they've neverseenbefore.It'sgoing to engage them, it's going to excite them."

And Turner hopes to remain true to Shakespeare's original audience, making these plays accessible to all La Grande, not just the theatrical elite.

"Shakespeare captures the human experience like no other playwright," Turner said."No other playwright captures quite what it means to be alive like he does. That's why he's so malleable and

adaptable."

"Shakespeare didn't write forthe elite,"Harrow said.

"He wrote for the groundlings, the common folk, the community. He was a playwright of the people."

"If done right," Turner said, "if done truthfully, Shakespeare can still sing to a contemporary audience."

Hog Wild Days, Pig Train favorites of Island City Lions Submitted to The Observer

One of the favorite projects of the Island City Lions is giving out scholarships to students, and the Lions did that last week by honoring Craig Hopper and Lilly Page

with $500 scholarships and Tannar Willson with $1,000.

According to President Dan Cosner, the young peopleare model students and"will do well with future service."Willson has worked

with the club on the parkway as a club project.

During the official visit from District Gov. Gerald Hopkins, members listed theirfavoriteprojects.Hog Wild Days and the Pig Train topped the list of many club projects. Others listed included Christmas lights for the parkway, screening students for sight and hearing, peace posters, "man of the month," duck race, Christmas socks,

canned food drives and the backpack programs.

Members did not want to seeprojectsdropped,but suggested more involvement with senior citizens, distributing books to students, having a community Christmas tree lighting and increasing membership, including people from Cove. Hopkins stressedthe need toincrease membership, noting the positive correlation of projects

and membership.

Sheila Evans told the group that 77 students were screened during the Apple Eye Care block party, and 87 flags were passed out to students riding the Pig Train.

Lion Art Creson said he and his wife, June, had been asked to consider a support group for individuals with low-vision needs.

Steve and Kathy Oliver introduced Miku Kawai, a

Japanese youth exchange student. The Olivers said that Miku will soon return to Japan and will face rigid testsbeforeherhigh school senior year.

Hopkins finished his presentation by recognizing Al and Dee Weathermon with pins from Lions Clubs Internationalfor 15 yearsof community service and Dan and Monita Woollard as outstanding Lions for the year.

As starting quarterback Brandon Dall stepped back to throw, Peasley perfectly jumped a route in the flat, then returned an interception for a touchdown.

By Eric Avissar The Observer

During the La Grande High School football program's first intrasquad scrimmage of the season Saturday at the high school, a new face stole the show.

Freshman Andrew Peasley first gained attention at quarterback when he scrambled for a 60-yard touchdown early on. On the next drive, he followed up with a precise touch pass that Isaiah Cranford caught for a touchdown from approximately 40 yards out.

COLLEG EVOLLEYBALL

The Eastern Oregon volleyball team earned two more wins to cap off a superb showing at the Sport Travel Northwest Challenge Saturday in Spokane, Wash.

The Mountaineers defeated LewisClarkState College 17-25,25-16,25-19, 25-15 in the first match. Senior middle hitter Casey Loper continued her hot starttothe season,recording 22 kills against Lewis-Clark while adding 16 dtgs.

"Casey definitely stepped up and took over," head coach Kaki McLeanMorehead said.cWe're very lucky to

have her on the team. She swung a lot on Friday and Saturday, and she's very effective."

Freshman outside hitter Amanda Miller chipped in 10 kills and five aces in the only match Eastern trailed in all weekend. Sophomore setter Rachelle Chamberlain had 40 assists.

Lewis-Clark used a seven-point run to take the first set, but from that point on it was all Mountaineers. A five-point surge, which featured two Loper kills, built a sixpoint lead, and Miller's ace and kill

clinched the set.

The Mounties easily took the third set after scoring 11 of the first 13 points. In the fourth set, Eastern would score the final six points, with Chamberlain's kill ending the match.

The second game on Saturday saw the Mounties beat the University of Montana-Western 25-22, 21-25, 2520,25-17.

Loper again was thecatalyst with 22 kills, and Kendra De Hoog and Emily Nay added eight and six kills, respectively. Chamberlain led the team with 35 assists.

Senior receiver Justin Hernandez was a recipient of Bartlow's big day, hauling in six catches for 118 yards and two scores. Andrew Woody caught two passes for 71 yards and Geoff Pettles totaled 69 yards and a touchdown on four catches. Running back A.J. Prom added a 45-yard score through the air.

Prom also rushed for 58 yards on 11 carries, with T J. Esekielu adding 45 yards on 11 carries and a score.

'They're two different styles ofbacks, but at the same time very complimentary of each other," Camp said of his two running backs.

Byron Benson picked off two passes for the Mountie defense, and Gary Posten led the team with nine tackles.

Eastern scored 22 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, starting with Esekielu's 1-yard plunge two minutes into the frame, which put Eastern back in frontby a 30-27 margin.

Benson came up clutch on the ensuing possession, intercepting Menlo's Wade Hawkins for the second time, giving the ball back to Eastern at the Menlo 27-yard line.

MEDFORD — Biologists plan to recapture and re-collar OR-7, Oregon's famous wandering wolf that is now a settledfather ofpups.

The plan calls for recapturing the male wolf along with his mate and three pups to keep tracking Western Oregon's only known wolf family as it works its way toward pack status, The Medford Mail Tribune reported Sunday.

OR-7 set off in search of a mate in September 2011, covering thousands of meandering miles from his birthplace in northeastern Oregon to Northern California before settling in southwest Oregon. The wolf gained worldwide fame as his GPS tracking collar showed his wanderings across mountains, deserts and highways.

Acts of kindness add to summer fun It's amazing what a visit from one's family can make in life, especially when you haven't seen them in a long time.

It can change one's attitude about how alone you are to one of looking forward with incentive to do the things that you should have been doing but just didn't have the will with which to work.

In July, my youngest son, his wife, and two children were in La Grande.

They couldn't stay long, but they brought me huckleberries from our mountains, tomatoes and strawberries from their own garden in the Willamette Valley, and time to spend visitingand going over some needed future business concerns of my own.

My grandson installed a program in my computer that I had had long ago and liked so much. And, they had all been up on the hill where I used to live and brought back graftingcuts from my favoriteapple tree ipermission given from the new owners) in order to try again for my favorite apple to grow again in my new yard.

Combining your favorite foods is a sure recipe for success. Zucchini Julienne combines thin strings of sliced zucchini with tomatoes, spring onions, broccoli and herbs.

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

I know what you are thinking ... more zucchini recipes. How could I? Just the other day my husband was threatened with violence after he offered one ofhis zucchinis to a neighbor.

I am sharing these two recipes because they may be my best yet. If you love pasta, but shy away from it due to the gluten or carbs, I suggest that you julienne your zucchini and use it as a pasta substitute.

I admit finding a julienne slicer was a bit tricky. I first researched online what a julienne slicer was and then searched how to julienne zucchini, because I was in the dark.

Thanks to my sweet neighbor, I am able to borrow one until my slicer comes in the mail.

But I promise you itis well worth it.

I love veggies and enjoy cooking meals without meat, but my husband usually prefers more hearty meals. I was pleasantly surprised when he fully enjoyed the Zucchini Julienne recipe and of course he loved the meatball dish. Both dishes are equally as satisfying. As always I encourage you to be playful with the vegetables you add. I cook with my favorite foods and that usually guaranteesa greatmeal.

Dear SOS: My husband took me for a birthday dinner at Casa Cordoba, a new Spanish restaurant in Montrose, Calif. Its olive chicken was fabulous! It satisfied my husband's preference for comfort food and mine for nuance. Can you get the recipe?

I would love to know how the restaurant got the chicken so tender and so infused with flavor.

— Anna Ganahl, Glendale,

Calif.

Dear Anna: If you're a fan of olives and garlic, this is a meal for you. A whole chicken is brined in a flavorful marinade, then spatchcocked, stuffed with a bold filling of olivesand roasted garlic,and slowly cooked over low heat to keep the meat moist and tender.

The chicken is garnished with garlic oil and tender slices of Serrano ham in the last few minutes of cooking.

It makes quite a presentation when it's served and is a perfect dish when hosting

Yes, flowers can become weeds, too. I do pull out a lot of the ones that seed every year, and just keep the ones growing where I want them.

Back to bark mulch. Note the word "mulch." I got some early in the summer at the same storeIdid lastyear, but it was the most dreadful mess I ever had. There were stripsofbark and splintered wood in it.

I was having a hard time later findingmore bark mulch so went to EONL (Eastern Oregon Nursery and Landscaping) nursery and they had the most amazing very small bark that they loaded into my husband's old trashhauler truck. It is a little larger than what I normally use but could be tilled into the soil anyway if we choose.

I love it and will go there first next year.

sprigs over the chicken.

Place the chicken in the oven and slowly cook until it reaches an interior temperature of 155 to 160 degrees when measured with an instant-read thermometer inserted in the deepest part of the thigh. This will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees.

Remove the herbs from the top of the chicken and brush the chicken generously with the garlic oil.

Place the chicken back in the oven (the oven may not have yet reached 450 degrees, which is fine) and continue to cook until the skin is nicely crisped and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes, and the internal temperature is 165 degrees.

The last few minutes, drape the Serrano ham over the chicken to crisp Remove from heat, and serve the chicken hot.

Heat the oven to 250 degrees.

Prepare the chicken: Trim any excess fat and skin from the chicken. Using a pair of kitchen shears, cut the spine out of the back of the chicken.

Open the chicken like a book and lay it flat over a cutting board, skin-side down.

Spread the stuffing over the inside of the flattened chicken.

Place a sheet of foil over the stuffing, gently pressing it along the sides of the chicken; this will hold the stuffing in as the chicken is flipped over.

Invert a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet over the chicken. Lift up the cutting board and baking sheet, "sandwiching" the chicken, and carefully flip the chicken over so it is resting on the baking sheet, skin-side up.

Place the rosemary and thyme

NAPA, Calif.— The largest earthquake to hit the San Francisco Bay Area in 25 years sent scores of people to hospitals, ignited fires, damaged multiple historic buildings and knocked out power to tens of thousands in California's wine country on Sunday.

The 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck at 3:20 a.m. about 6 miles from the city of Napa ruptured water mains and gas lines, left two adults and a child critically injured, upended bottles and casks at some of Napa Valley's famed wineries and sent residents running out of their homes in the darkness.

Dazed resi dents toofearful of aft ershocks to goback to bed wandered at dawn through Napa's historic downtown, where the quake had shorn a 10-foot chunk ofbricksand concrete from the corner of an old county courthouse. Bolder-sized pieces of rubble littered the lawn and street in front of the building and the hole left behind allowed a view of the offices inside.

College student Eduardo Rivera, 20, said the home he shares with six relatives shook so violently that he kept getting knocked back into his bed as he tried to flee. ''When I woke up, my mom was screaming, and the sound from the earthquake was greater than my mom's screams," Rivera said.
