A 60-acre parcel of tilled farmland may often go unnoticed by drivers traveling along Highway 82 just outside Island City. But local elected leaders hope legislative funding can turn the land into a shovelready piece of the Baum Industrial Park. Union County Commissioner Mark Davidson said the county isslated toreceive

PENDLETON — County commissioners from across Oregon want to see Congress increasethepaceand scaleof forest management in the wake of another devastating wildfire season. Members of the Association of Oregon Counties sent a letter Sept. 15 to Oregon's congressional delegation asking for

REAL PEOPLE

ancin • Cove couple staying ahead of Father Time on the dance floor By Dick Mason The Observer

Creston and Dovey Shaw, both 93, stopped making windsurfing trips last spring, but there is still no stopping them on the dance floor. For prooflook no further than the Union County Senior Center in La Grande. There the Shaws, who know many dance steps, prove they also know how to stay ahead of Father Time. The Shaws unfailingly participate in the community dance at the Union County Senior Center on the last Saturday of each month. There the Cove couple dance almost continuously for 90 minutes, take abreakfordinner at8p.m . and then dance another hour. "They are usually the last ones to leave," said Denny Langford of Union, a fiddle player for the BlueMountaineers, the band that regularly plays at the community dance. Creston Shaw speaks humbly of their dancing abilities. eWe just enjoy dancing. We don't do it any better than anyone else, but we have a lot of fun," he said. Langford said that Creston and Dovey always add spark to the dance floor. "They set the pace," Langford said. So high is the regard Langford and his band have for the Shaws that it plays the couple' sfavorite song when they arrive: "Five Foot Two and Eyes of Blue." Fittingly, the song — also known to many as "Has Anyone Seen My Gal?"was a huge hit in the 1920s, the decade Creston and Dovey were born. The Shaws also like to dance in the winter at the Starbottle Saloon at the Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort. The couple are well known there, as they both were members of the Anthony Lakes Ski Patrol for many years. Today Dovey no longer skis, but Creston still hits the slopes regularly each winter. "He is a phenomenal skier. He has great form and great technique," said Dave Campbell, a member of the Anthony Lakes Ski Patrol. Mike Gooderham of La Grande, an Anthony Lakes Ski Patrol alum, agrees. "Cieston loves to ski in deep

Creston and Dovey Shaw, both 93, dance at the Union County Senior Center Sept. 26.The couple rarely miss a Saturday night dance at the senior center, dancing almost continuously for 90 minutes, before taking a break for dinner and then another hour of dancing. "We just enjoy dancing. We don't do it any better than anyone else, but we have a lot of fun," Creston said.

powder. Not everyone can ski in deep powder, but Cieston is a master," Gooderham said. Creston added windsurfing to his list of avocations about 25 years ago. He and Dovey, who did not windsurf, made many trips to windsurfing sites during the next two decades. Creston gave up windsurfing in part because he needed a mental break. "It dominated my life," he

said. The Shaws have run a family farm for years, and Creston is credited with playing a key role in the developmentofthe localgrass seed industry during this time. This is a big reason why in 2013 he received a Distinguished Service to Union County Agriculture award at the annual Union County Farmer Merchant

Awards banquet. Creston and Dovey have operated their Cove area farm for much of their married lives. They have been married for 72 years, but their history goes back further than that. eWe have been together for 75 years," Creston said. Creston said Dovey has had aremarkable infl uence in shaping his life for the better during this time. "She has taken good care of me."

The La Grande City Council will consider a ban of marijuana facilities Wednesday. The council has already had afi rstreading ofan ordnance that would ban the facilities, as provided for under House Bill 3400. The legislation allows cities located within countiesthat voted against Measure 91, the measure that legalized marijuana possession, by 55 percent or more to "opt out" by passing ordinances that prohibit the establishment and operation of recreational marijuana producers, processors, wholesalers and retailers,as well as medical marijuana processors and dispensaries. Public testimony will be acceptedbefore the opt-out vote,according tothe city council packet. City councilors will also consider an ordinance that will expand the number of advisory commissions and committees on which volunteers can serve from one plus the Budget Committee to two plus the Budget Committee. The ordinance alsoadds language toclarify the processinitiated by the council for removal of a committee or commission member. The council is also slated to choose a new city attorney. Councilors met last month with Wyatt Baum of Baum Smith LLC in La Grande and Jeremy Green, of Lovlien & Jarvis in Bend for interviews with the candidates. City staff recommends a three-year agreement. The city's previous attorneydied earlier this year. The Urban Renewal Agency does not convene this week.

1BO e Well, here we are again. Another town. Another mass shooting. And, like clockwork, another collective howl from two sides of the same American fence regarding gun control. It is high time for a reasoned, methodical national discussion regarding the role of guns in our society. At first glance, the discussion should be an easy one, but in this day and age, when it comes to mass shootings and guns, the simplest thing is diKcult. The first thing that needs to be settled is the fact is that the right to keep and bear arms is a sacred element to the Constitution. It is not a right buried in the text of that renowned document but the second — not third, or fiAh or eighth — point outlined in the Constitution. The Supreme Court in the past few years upheld the jurisdiction of Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms is a philosophy that runs through the very heart of our society. That right isn't going to go away, nor should it. Aker every single mass shooting, the vocal outcry — from as high up as the Oval OKce — reverberates across the nation to enact tougher gun laws, even though there many strict gun mandates on the books in individual states, to eradicate such incidents. It is a pleasant thought to many to rid the country of firearms and, therefore, end mass slaughters like the one that occurred in Roseburg last week. The sad truth, though, is that philosophy is — at worst — naive and at best completely disconnected from reality. In short, instituting a mandate that forces the handover the millions of weapons in this nation will never work and, quite likely, ignite the kind of internecine warfare not seen since the Civil War. It just isn't realistic. It is an easy answer. Yet anymore, that is the path America seems to prefer. The easiest path, the easy answer. Take away all the guns, the theory goes, and mass shootings will disappear. Maybe. Yet we can't just stand by and continue to allow incidents like the one in Roseburg. For those who advocate stricter gun control, those who adhere to that easy answer, there are no other options. On the other side of the fence are those who believe any compromise on the right to keep in bear arms is tantamount to giving up a right guaranteed by the Constitution. ORen in cases such as this, in the fallout from the horrific murder of so many innocent victims, facts become distorted. What is interesting to note is that in the past confirmed criminal backgrounds and verified mental health issues did not stop at least eight individuals from acquiring weapons and then igniting a mass shooting event. In short, in many of the cases, the system already in place to stop unstable individuals from acquiring weapons failed. We need a national dialogue on this issue that isn't consumed with red-hot rhetoric, false facts and pie-in-the-sky theories about abolishing guns that borders on nonsense. We need real leadership from politicians and activists, and from the public. We are a great nation that has solved countless challenges. Why does this problem continue to evade our collective ability to reach a solution?

Your views Vernam: Supporting the Wallowa Valley Orchestra To the Editor: Another exciting season for the Wallowa Valley Orchestra is under way. We are a group oflocal musicians, of all ages and skill levels, who enjoy getting together weekly for a short time and rehearsing a variety of music with conductors, R. Lee Friese and Randy Morgan, in preparationfora localconcert. There are many benefits to this group. We continue to learn our craft, with help from each other and instruction as necessary. There is always someone availablewho can adviseorteach an aspect of the piece that you may be struggling with. No matter how long you've played your instrument or been able to read music, there is always something more to learn. We are continuing and encouraging traditions for future generations. No one wants to lose any aspect of a culture. Playing music together helps maintain a classi calformat ofrehearsaland performance that is not often available to a local area. Normally, you would go to aperformance in a m etropolitan area and see a final product, but it's not often an opportunity comes to you or seeks participation on a local level. Another side of participation is the audience. Without that feature, there would be no reasontohold a concert.W e believethe audience is one of the most important aspects of a concert. The time you invested learning to play an instrument as a child isn't necessarily lost as an adult. Someone who mightnot have played formany yearsis ableto startagain regardless of age or ability. A little time practicing, a little encouragement from peers, time spent re-exercising memories, produces amazing results that might surprise and please you. Music encourages brain health and stimulates mental growth, and regardless of physical ability you can generally continue to play an instrument. The musicians of the Wallowa Valley Orchestra would like to extend an invitation to you to join us, as a participantpreparing forthe Oct.25 concert or as an audience member. We'd also like to invite you to visit a rehearsal if you'd be interested in seeing how we put things together. We rehearse on Tuesday

Garcia: Eliminating bullying when it rears its ugly head

Likecancer,itdoesn'texercisediscretion and is indiscriminate. All over the world, its effects distort lives. But as we live in a small community, where threeof-five people know each other, this subject needs constant discussion. From Jadin Bell's suicide, to bursts of bullying or"harassment" in schools, school yards, buses, stores, online, smartphones and sporting events, we must strongly discourage the behavior. In order to plan promoting an assembly or public event on bullying, I had the pleasure to meet with La Grande School District administrators to discuss what isdone to identify,prevent and address this concerning matter. Not surprised, I was educated on what our administrators are doing. They take swift action when the behavior is witnessed. Discreetly, they encourage studentstoreportthisbehaviorso that it is dealt with appropriately. Perhaps a public event is not needed, but we need to spread the word of what our schools do to prevent thisbehavior. From programs like Challenge Day, Be The Hero Club, Stop-Walk-Talk, a HOTLINE, Peer Mediation & Counseling, and the relentless support, dedication and concern of every administrator and educator, our children are in good hands. However, the overall education to stop bullying involves and requires the education to be at home. Early on, childrenexhibita characteristicofstrength, opinionated or independence. These traitsaregood for one'slife,butthe wrong approach turns that tenacious child into a bully. I know too well. My own upbringing forced me to be strong, independent and not take gufFfrom anyone. Being an immigrant and just learning English, it was a mandate to fit in, but to defend for myself. Parental involvement is key. The school system has so much in resources and hours to be the"all-catch" mechanism.Ittakesparentstobeinvolved, to stepin to ask administratorsand educatorsabout theirchild atschool, but to also play a vital role in eliminating bullying, regardless ofhow it rears its ugly head.

To the Editor: This subject has been one of serious discussions and consequences.

SHOOTING Continued ~om Page1A In a rampage lasting about 10 minutes, Christopher Harper-Mercer took nine lives Thursday morning in chilling fashion before killing himself as officers closed in, placing the small town of Roseburg among settings that have become infamous for inexplicable violence. In addition to slain English professor Lawrence Levine, the dead and nine wounded were students young and old — some high school aged, others just beginning college and some starting over after a broken marriage, drug abuse or in hopes of a new career. The rural Umpqua Community Collegeon nearly 100 acresofpastureland along the North Umpqua River has about 3,200 students in this southwestern Oregon community, where the struggling timber industry is no longer seen as a path to the future. Its website said it offered"apeaceful,safe atmosphere." The school term had just begun and Levine's 10 a.m. introductory composition class was underway when Mercer-Harper arrived on campus not with books, but with a small arsenal of weapons that included five handguns, a semi-automatic rifle, five magazines of ammunition and a flak jacket. The young man was described as an awkwardlonerwho had fl unked outof Army basic training and lived with his mother. His social media profile suggested he was frustrated with organized religion and had studied mass shootings. Those who knew him said they never expected what would happen next. Scroggins heard a pop and noticed a hole in a classroom window, according to adetailed account provided by her father, Pastor Randy Scroggins. Harper-Mercer, 26, who was enrolled in the class but had showed no signs of anger two days before, entered, fired several rounds from a handgun and told everyone to get on the floor. Natalie Robbins was in another writ-

ing class nearby in Snyder Hall when she heard the first muSed gunshot that sounded more like a table had been overturned. eWe heard this first BOOM," Robbins said."About 45 seconds later we hear boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Six shots. In the middle of that is when my instructor said, We have to get the hell out of here."' She and other classmates bolted out of the room toward the campus center. The first 911 call was made at 10:38 a.m., but those on campus were not immediately alerted. Biology professor Ken Carloni was sitting in his office in the science building next door when a colleague entered with a startled groundskeeper who said there was a shooting. They locked the building, gathered about 40 students from the surrounding classrooms and huddled with them in a small hallway with no outsidefacing windows. Back in Snyder Hall, Lacey Scroggins didn't see her teacher fall, but Anastasia Boylan did. The first-year student told her family from the hospital that Levine was shot at point-blank range.

In the chaos that followed, Boylan found herself on the classroom floor, bleeding next to a friend who had also been shot.

Covenalive will delravelinglo Haililo workwilhorghans • Sadie McIver will spend two months in Haiti as a volunteer and for research By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Twenty-year-old University of Oregon student and Cove native Sadie McIver is preparing for a challenging journey. It may not be a physically demanding journey, but surely an emotional one. McIver will be leaving to Haiti Saturday to spend two months in the country to work at an orphanage with HIV-positive children. "I went to Haiti for spring

break ilast year)," said McIver who has worked as a nanny and is now working at Kneads Bakery in La Grande. "My cousin has been living there for eight years. And I want to go

back." She will spend the first month atthe orphanage, taking care of the children. Then the second month she'll join her cousin, who will travel to villages, visit orphanagesand collectstories that he will compile and publish in a book, she said. Her cousin, Lee Rainboth, is an artist and has already published a book about the earthquake in 2010. McIver said her cousin has beena partofstarting schools and building

Mj,-

schools in Haiti. McIver and Rainboth will be traveling around to orphanages for the second month ofher trip, she said. McIver is a double major

in biology and psychology, she said. But she is interested in cognitive childhood development, a major not offered at UO. McIver will live in a hostel in the capital, Port au Prince, and commute to the orphanage. "People ask me why I would want to go somewhere like that," McIver said of going to an orphanage with HIV-positive children. "These children need someone to take care of them. And that's kind of the whole point." One of the goals McIver has is talking with some of the 17-yearold girlsatthe orphanage who have questions, amongst others, about dating someone who does not have HIV. "People don't talk about that in Haiti," she said. She saidthat conversation is probably one of the things she's most nervous about. McIver took an online class about HIV, and plans to takeitagain before she leavestolearn more about it.

During Sadie Mclver's trip in Haiti, she will take a bus for transportation, much like the one pictured.

.rC~i, She'll be working with peoplefrom babies to those in their early 20s and will take them to the hospital every day to get their medication. eiHaitil is really a beautiful country," McIver said. aYou wouldn't realize that because of the slums. People iin the cities) are living on top ofgarbage.Once you get out of the city and into the country, there's red dirt and mountains. It's stunningly beautiful." M cIver said herspring break trip, which she hadn't wanted to go to because she was exhausted from her finals at school, but decided last minute to go, was really scary at first.

eiMy family and Il stepped out of the airport and we couldn't find my cousin at all," she said. "There were cars everywhere." M cIver ishoping to get donations of towels for the orphanage before she leaves, she said. There's 23 children at the orphanage, and they only get one towel to use for a year. She has an entire suitcase dedicatedto bringing over towels for them. McIver said anyone with towels can drop them off at Kneads Bakery in La Grande on Adams Avenue. McIver is also raising money that will mostly go toward the orphanage and school supplies for the chil-

Kymee Brasethand Gavin Baynes were married Aug. 8. The wedding was in La Grande with Pastor Wayne Pickens officiating.

Networking in rural communi a must By Emily Palmer Networking is simply known as interacting with other people in order to exchange informaPalmer tion and to develop contacts, especially to further one's career. Itcan be recognized asthe single most powerful marketing tactic to accelerate and sustain success for any individual or organization. Networking is a powerful tool in today's business world. There is a need to take a deeper look into the importance of networkingin rural communities. In general, a rural area can be defined as anything that is not"urban." Typical rural areas have low population density and small settlements.

• 0

Agriculture based towns are often considered to be ruraldue tolocation. Many ask the question, '%hy network in such a rural community such as La Grande?" Networking should be a fully integrated component in the life of every business person, no matter where they live. This in turn will lead to stronger contacts and fiiendships that can assist in every aspect ofbusiness. Rural communities provide an abundance of economicand socialopportunity for locals, if adequately prepared. In order to network effectively with others in a rural community, thorough research needs to be conducted. Networking does not necessarily convert over to dollars, which is hard to understand when our society is so motivated by money.

•

The benefits are endless once you start networking at a constant rate. Be ready to build strong fiiendships that could lead into solid referrals. Follow up on these referrals and turn them into clients. The increase in business from networkingis the major advantage, but there are many others. Networking providesthemost productive, proficient, and enduring tactic to build relationships. With a motivated group of business owners comes an abundanceofopportunities! Prospects like joint ventures, parlnerships, speaking, client leads, and writing opportunities, business or asset sales. The list goes on, and the opportunities within networking are truly endless. Networkingin a rural community provides small businesses with a great source of strong connections, and

can open doors to work with highly influential people. Having like-minded business owners come together provides an opportunity to get advice from one another on all sorts of ideas related to business. Being visible and getting noticedisa largebenefi tof networking in a rural community. This singlehandedly can be a marketing tool free of charge. Having your business stand out amongst the rest is keyin the business world, and networking within a close community could take your company from average to extraordinary. In the dog eat dog world, ultimately, it's not about who you know, but who knows you. Emily Palmer is marketing assistant at the La GrandeUnion County Chamber of Commerce.

This photograph shows the empty South Union School in 1961. The old school was built in1890 at a cost of $20,000.Then, as the town grew, the need for another school arose and the North Union School was built about 1903. Short-lived, it was demolished in 1930 to make room for housing. The South Union School was used until the J. E Hutchinson School was built in 1936 and may have even been used until 1958 when the S. E. Miller School was built. The old South Union School was demolished in 1969.

• New session of exercise class begins Oct. 20 for everyone at any level age 65 to 90 years and beyond By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Cove's Strong Seniors class will start its new session in a few weeks and since summer is winding down, it's the perfect time to join in on the fun that the group offers. Andrea Mallory, who moved to Cove with her family from Boise, Idaho about two years ago, teaches the group. "I kind of fell into it," Mallory said ofbecoming the teacher."I was doinga yoga classacrossthe street and someone gave ithe Cove Senior Citizens Association) my name." The Cove Senior Citizens Association is the umbrella group that offers seniors in the area classes, including Strong Seniors, and the Senior Meal program. The Strong Seniors fee is $30 per five-week session, with two classes per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mallory will get a portion of that money, with the rest going to the meal program. "As I understand it, it's the biggest fundraiser of the meals program," Mallory said ofher class. Though the class is wrapping up the first session, the next session starting Oct. 20 will be much bigger sincemore people generally aredone with their summer activities and lookingforsomething to do,she said. She said there can be anywhere from four to 20 seniors coming to the class. 'They're so fun," she said."It's fun to see them come. I think you get all kinds of different personalities. They come to be with each other, too. I like to be a part of that. They're just real special. Everyone has their own

thing they add to ithe class)." Trudy Hassinger, 67, is a regular in the class. She said she has arthritis that she has had since before she was 40 years old. "I want to keep active," Hassinger said."I' vebeen doing the classfor seven years. There has been three different instructors during that time." Hassinger said she thinks she's seen an improvement with her body since taking the class. "It improved my balance and strength," Hassinger said."I do keep a regular exercise group. I have a walking group I walk with two to three times a week. Strong Seniors is twice a week. And I go to the Cove

It's a very good class." Victor Gregg, 70, is planning on going to the next session He agrees with Hassinger about socializing with the others in the class. "I just have to say, it's a fiiendly atmosphere," Gregg said."Everyone can work at their own pace. It's just a great way to stay in shape and encourage the flexibility in your body.

Generally speaking, a calendar year begins on the New Year's Day of the given calendar system and ends on the day before the following New Year's Day. The Gregorian year, which is in use in most of the world, begins on Jan. 1 and ends on Dec. 31. It has a length of 365 days in an ordinary year, with 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, but 366 days in a leap year, with 8,784 hours, 527,040 minutes. With 97 leap years every 400 years, the year has an average length of 365.2425 days With just three short months left of 2015, I thought it would be most appropriate to evaluatethe previous three quarters and take advantage ofcompleting Q4 with some year-end options. The ElginChamber of Commerce started 2015 with a membership drive and an increase in new membership. We continued the momentum into spring by hosting another successful annual banquet, celebrating local businesses, organizations, volunteers, educators and others who help Elgin be the best it can be. In late spring, chamber joined forces with the Elgin Dirt-Digger's garden club planting colorful flowers for the annual beautification project. Summer heatedup and the fun sizzled throughout Elgin during Riverfest, hosted by the Elgin Lions. The summer thrust continued during the 69th annual Elgin Stampede Rodeo, which celebrates a longstanding Elgin tradition. The summer was not all fun in the sun. The hot temperatures and dry conditions lead to one of the most devastating wildfire seasons in history. Thousands of acres burned throughout our local region beginning with the Phillips Creek fire, which burned just seven short miles from Elgin. The fires brought hundreds of firefighters from all over the country, many of which set up camp at the Elgin Stampede grounds. With the fires behind us ithanks to the hard work of the dedicated firefightersl, we canlook forward to cooler temperatures, Merchant Trick-or-Treat, a bountiful Thanksgiving, Merchant Christmas Stocking, Winterland Magic which includes the annual Elgin Lions light paradeioneofthe largest light parades in Northeast Oregon) followed by the traditional chili feed sponsored by the Elgin Stampeders, local holiday bazaars and shopping, and a sohd economic upturn in Q4.

PENDLETON—An Oregon National Guard unit is preparing to deploy to Kuwait. About 60 soldiers will transport people and equipment throughout the region using CH-47 Chinook helicopters. At a mobilization ceremony Saturday in Pendleton, Sgt. August Radke said it will be interesting to see another part of the world but diffIcult to part with his family. "Leaving family at home with my two children and my wife, it's always tough that way. It's not something I'm looking forward to," Radke told the East Oregonian. Radke said the Kuwait deployment will be his second. He also went to Afghanistan about five years ago. This time, however, he will have one relative nearby. His brother, Jacob Radke, is also deploying.

trail ead Early on this past summer, soon after school was out, I met some friends at the Owsley Canyon trailhead at the Mount Emily Recreation Area (MERA). What I thought would be a handful of moms and kids eager to enjoy the good weather turned into the parking lot being filled. Van after van pulled in, then a few Suburbans, followed by more vans. I had never seen the parking lot so full, especially on a weekday morning. In all there were at least 12 vehicles and I lost count of the kids. A handful of the moms hadn't been up to this MERA location. This was the perfect opportunity tobecome familiar with the family fiiendly area. Meeting up with friends for an outdoor jaunt makes getting to the adventure destination so much easier. The motivation of someone else relying on you might be exactly what you need to load up the kids and head for the hills. More importantly, taking your kids outdoors, especially on a trail or near water can be daunting. What if something happens and you need help? It's just smarter and easier to rally at a trailhead with some support. Chasing after and keeping track of kids becomes a groupeffort.Asdoesmotivatingthe kids to keep going. SeeTrailhead IPage 3B

Ac 'lly c apterin our 'story It has been a busy time around my house, Diary, so I have neglected to mention a few things. One of them was reminded to me by the Outskirts Bob Bull photo of the North Powder ice plant in The Observer on Sept. 28. You see, last July Marlene James gave me a nice little booklet about this very ice plant that had been published by the Eastern Oregon Museum at Haines, and the Pacific Fruit Express Company of Roseville, California, tbinldng I might want to write something about it in my column. Well, I did, but I just didn't get the job done. Now Bob's photo brings it all back again, so 111 take advantage of it and tell you a little more of the story. As the picture related, the plant was builtin1910 forthestorageofblocksof ice cut from a pond and used to refiigerate railroad cars for shipping to"far away" places. It also said that the building was destroyed by lightning in July 1937 but most of theicewassalvaged. This is a part of Northeastern Oregon history that hasn't been talked about much, and it seems well worthy of our knowing more of the details. The little booklet fiom the museum tells the story about the ice plant from one end and, turned over and read backwards, is the history of the museum. The museum itself is four blocks ofF the Old Oregon Trail Highway, US. 30, 10 miles north of Baker City and nine miles south of North Powder. See Dory/Page 3B

WHY YOU NEED TO LEARN THIS

THE STEPS YOU TAKE

A gardener still going strong, and beautiful, at 90 Meet my good friend Norma Jean and a few ofher many gladiolas. She will turn 90 this month andcanstillout. GRA N N Y'S garden people ; ~~ GA R DEN half her age, and me for sure. She CRISTINE MARTIN grows hundreds ofbeautiful flowers and is seen bringing them into church most Sundays all season long. She lives on a farm in the Cove area and has a garden bigger than most people's whole property. I had to smile at her last fall when she said she thought she would cut back for "next year." From the flowers I have seen, she hasn't cut back very much. Every flower she gives has a bit oflove with it, so is extra special, besides being beautiful. Norma Jean grows lotsand lotsofvegetablesand berriestoo.Itm akes me tired just to see all that she does and she just keeps on going. I hope she is able to for many years to come. It is a joy to see the results ofher hard work. Remember, "age is just a number." '

The word of the day is"lacto-fermentation."True, it's similar to zombification, only instead of transforming something dead into something unspeakable, lactofermentation transforms something kesh into something wonderful. Thousands of years before humans even knew what bacteria were, we were using lactofermentation to preserve food. Today we do it as much for the flavor as we do for the preservation. Here's how it works: We'll start by talking about those microbes. Specifically, bacteria. There are two basictypesofbacteria:aerobic,which require oxygen; and anaerobic, which can survive without it. Sauerkraut is made by tossing thinly sliced cabbage with salt and pressing it into a container. The salt draws water kom the cabbage, creating a brine under which the cabbage is completely submerged. When this happens, the anaerobic bacteria begin to multiply and feedoffthe sugarsin thecabbage, producinglacticand acetic acidsand carbon dioxide. The acids and the increasing numbersoflacti cacid-producing bacteria flncluding the always popular Lactobacillil prevent any other bacteria kom getting their foot in the sauerkrauty door. Those lactobacilli are an example of the beneficial probiotics mentioned earlier. One last thing before we jump kom theoryto practice:thevesseloffermentation. You don't need any special equipment, only a large container like an earthenwarecrock,a plasticfood containeror alargemason jar.Figure that a 1-gallon container will hold about 5 poundsofcabbage.Whatever container you use, don't seal it: The gases formed by the fermentation have to escape. 1. Start with the keshest cabbage you can fi nd.Straight kom your garden orlocal farmers market would be perfect. Peel away any loose or damaged leaves and

Cut the core away kom all four piecesand discard.Slice thecabbage as finely as you can. 3.Tossthe cabbageswith sea saltor pickling salt, roughly 3 tablespoons for every5 pounds ofcabbage.Sea saltalso has trace elements of minerals that can enhance the nutritional value of the finished product. Avoid iodized salt or salt with anti-caking elements, which can interfere with the fermentation. While you're tossing, squeeze the cabbage to crush it as much as you can. You could also smash it with a rubber mallet if your loveoffood getsalltied up with your need to releaseyourinneraggressions. The idea is to extract as much water as you can kom the cabbage, so that it combineswith the saltto create abrine. 4. Pack the cabbage into your container as tightly as possible, then weigh it down. How you do this depends on your container. If it's an earthenware crock, set a clean plate onto the cabbage and weigh it down with jars of water. If it's a large mason jar, use a slightly smaller mason jar filled with water. It's vitally

Note: For the first 24 hours, there may notbe enoughbrine to coverthe cabbage completely. That's OK. Every few hours, press down on the cabbage to release more water. After 24 hours, if there's still not enough brine to cover the cabbage, add salt water to cover (1 teaspoon salt for every cup of water). 5. Check the ferment every day to make sure the brine is covering the cabbage completely. Skim off any scum that may form on the surface and remove any stray bits of cabbage that may have drifted up out of the brine and gotten moldy.

Now the booklet was published in 1992, so I can't verify any of the information since I haven't had the opportunity to visit there; however, it says that the museum is located in the old Haines High School gymnasium and that the Covered Wagon sign was donated to the Museum by Langrell's Museum in 1968. I do remember when that museum was sold to a company in California and a page of pictures and stories appeared in The Observer photographed and written by reporter Grace Henderson who was very upset with the loss of our heritage from thispart ofourarea.

named the following year as Haines for I. D. Haines, who practiced law in Baker City in 1867 and upon whose land the town of Haines was founded. More of the history of Haines is given in this little booklet. It was in the early 1900s, accordingtoits history,that a man by the name of Isaac Sandersstarted selling ice to the Union Pacific Railroad in the nearby town of North Powder. He had land to the southwest. A branch of the Union Pacific Railroad purchased the Andy Lund place and built an 18-acre pond that turned to ice in the winter. Cut into blocks it could be used in the western division of the railroad. Interestingly, they could grow a summer cutting of timothy hay in the pond areaand then fl ood the pond with water and harvestthe icefor the railroad in the winter. It is amazing to think that the crew of 100 men provided one of the largest payrolls in thispart ofthe state and most seasons provided over 30,000tonsofice.Ofthis amount, about 12,000 tons was stored in theice storage facilit y and therestshipped

Home and garden

As a flower vase, or to organize any number of upright items such as pens and pencils, toothbrushesortoiletries, Mason jars not only get the job done — they do it in style. There are many ways to use paint to make jars pop as home decor, but here are a few of my favorites: Metallic spray paint in silver or bronze looks amazing, but try"Mirror Ball" paint for a finish so shiny you can almost see your reflection. Matte black spray paint is great for displaying colorful items or for matching other black decor. Delicately sand otf the paint &om the raised "Mason,""Ball" or "Kerr" brand names so the glass shines through iafler the paint has dried) and you get an especially modern,

shabby-chic look. In the garden, give the birds a break this fall and help them to a little free seed with a Mason jar bird feeder. Using a simple metal chicken feeder — a round metal plate with several compartments, available at most farm and feedstores— simply fill a quart-sized jar with seeds, screw on the chicken feeder and invert. Use twine or bendable wire to hang &om a low branch and watch as they flock in to feed.

out elsewhere. For the first six years of operation, the ice was cut by a horse-drawn saw, the booklet tells us, with several teams working at one time. By 1916-17 the ice was cut by a patented ice saw powered by an electric motor, taking only three men to operate and was much faster. Pictures show how the ice was cut and loaded for shipment or moved for storage. All of this history is recordedpriorto the use of refrigeratedrailroad cars for shipment of such things as carcasses instead oflive cattle to market along with other produce. The development of this industry is extremely interesting but should be sought out in this area,for Iam unable spacewise to tell the whole story. I must mention, though, aboutthe totaldestruction of the ice plant in 1937 by a bolt of lightning, "one the fiercestelectricalstorms ever witnessed here" and reported in the RecordCourier that July, telling the story about the loss.

The Baker department had a truck there in 23 minutes, itrecorded, to fightthe fire spreading over the roof, insulated walls and into oil treated blankets in each ice bin.

TRAILHEAD Continued ~om Page 1B The great thing about getting together with others is kids love to explore with their friends. What I've noticedabout kids and open outdoor spaces isthere's little bickering. Rather than arguing over toys or taking turns they are more focused on the adventure at hand. Exploring and showing each other what they've found. I was very fortunate to meet many great &iends soon after moving to La Grande. Some are born and raised locals. Others, like me haven't lived here very long. Combined they have years of knowledge and experience with the area that they gladly share. Our thoughts are "the more the merrier." Together we make up a group of adventurous souls who are genuinely interested in raisingkids thathave a solid perspective oftheworld. Having fun and enjoying nature is just a bonus. While we don't talk about it much we hope that down the road our kids will continue to go on adventures with each other. That "hanging out" together won't always be sitting around depending on media for entertainment. Maybe, just maybe, we won't be raising typical kids. Meg Hawks is a La Grande mom of ttoo boys.

THE DALLES — A three-hour trip to face a larger Class 5A school, coupled with a sluggishstart,could've been a recipe fordisaster for La Grande. That was far from the case, though, for head coach Harold Shannon and the No. 15-ranked Tigers, who won 43-19 over The Dalles in a nonleague contest Friday at The Dalles High School. "The kids bounced back after a shaky first half to get a big win," Shannon said."It was a little frustrating with all our penalties (16 for 148 yards), and the penaltiesreally kind of took away some of our ability to focus on the game. I told the kids athalfbme to just do the

things the coaches (Matt Wolcott, Casey Dietz, Kirk Travis) taught them to do, be patient and things will work out well." La Grande outgained The Dalles 393 yards to 293 in total offense. Quarterback Andrew Peasley passed for 213 yards and two touchdowns, plus had three more scores on the ground, to pace the offense. Running back Ray Jimenez added 164 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown. aWe started off a little slow in the first half, and there were some penalties that hurt us a lot," Peasley said.aWe went into the locker SeeFinish IPage6C

The No. 7 Eastern Oregon University volleyball team passed two Cascade Collegiate Conference tests with flying colors this weekend at Quinn Coliseum, defeating Oregon Tech in four sets Friday and walloping No. 8 Southern Oregon University Saturday in a three-set sweep. Junior middle hitter Kasaundra Tuma combined for 21 kills and 11 blocks in the two victories.

Once they found their rhythm, however, the Mustangs rolled. Deary kicked it in after fumbling on its first drive of the game. Jalen Kirk ran 39 yards for the opening touchdown, then caught a screen pass and took it 34 yards for a touchdown and a quick 14-0 lead just five minutes into the game.

Everybody was an option, and we all did our jobs." Indeed, three players — Tuma, middle hitter Emily Nay and outside hitter Amanda Miller — had 11 kills apiece, with Nay adding a match-high four blocks. Eastern had 50 kills in all, which helped improve its season average of kills per set to 14, currently fifth in the nation.

The season of milestones for Eastern Oregon University continued Saturday, as the Mountaineers knocked off Southern Oregon University 1-0 in a Cascade Collegiate Conference match in Ashland. It was the first time since 2006 that the Mounties defeated the Raiders. The win made it a perfect weekend for Eastern after Friday's 1-0 blanking of Oregon Tech.

It was Oregon's fifth straight win over Colorado i3-2, 0-1l since the Buffaloes joined the conference in 2011 — and by far the closest. The Ducks won the previous four meetings by an average of 43.5 points. They entered this game just a touchdown favorite. 'The gap closed a lot," Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said.'We had an opportunity to win the football game in the fourth quarter. The game's been over at halfbme the last two years. I think that's a good jump. It's not anywhere where we want to be, but it shows we're making progress." The game was delayed for more than an hour because oflightning in the area. At 9:08 p.m. MT, it was the latest kickoff in Folsom Field history and finished at 12:31 a.m. There was a moment of silence before kickoff for the people who died in the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg,

In his second career start, Rypien completed19 of25 passeswithout an interception, showing his impressive debut last week against Virginia wasn't a fluke. "Brett's limited in his experience, but he's playing within the game plan we give him each week," Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said."Each game plan has a theme for the opponent we're playing, and he's going out and executing." Boise State i4-1l rolled up 554 yards of total offense. Jeremy McNichols rushed for 108 yards on 20 carries with a pair of touchdowns. ''We took advantage of the turnovers and put points on the board early," Harsin said. 'Those explosive plays and getting into a rhythm and having some tempo shows we can beeffective attimes."

Mountie goalkeeper Jessica Parker racked up her fikh shutout oftheseason,stopping a pair of shots midway through the first period to ensure the victory. Saturday's match was on the heels of Friday's shutout win against the Owls in Klamath Falls. Forsyth scoredthe only goal,blasting a shot from 30 yards out off a loose ball in the 28th minute to beat the Tech goalkeeper. It was the seventh shutout for Eastern, which equaled a single-season school record. Parker made four saves, with all the stops coming in the second half. The Owls nearly tied the match with six minutes remaining with three shots in succession, but the defense held firm. Forsyth took four shots as the Mounties outshot the Owls i12-9l overall and recorded six shots on goal to Tech's four.

Elliott had an electrifying second half with touchdown runs of 55, 65 and 75 yards and finished with a career-best 274 yards to help the Buckeyes narrowly win their 18th in a row — the longest active streak in the FBS.

Rangers claim A.L. West title

Continued from Page1C misdirection for its third score on a play thatwas effective severaltimes forthe Mustangs. From his own 9-yard line, Beyer took a snap, moved the offense right, then threw back left to a wide open Tyler Anderson, who went 91 yards for the touchdown and a 20-0 lead. "They did the fundamentals right, and on top of that they were good-sized and they had a lot of speed," Joseph's Cayden DeLury said."They had a lot of weapons. We just didn't do what we needed to do fundamentally to stop them. We needed to work harder if we wanted to beat that team." Beyer tossed three more scoring passes, including another on a similar misdirection play, while Anderson scoredtwo more times as the lead swelled to 48-0 by halfbme. aWe knew they were going to be a big, strong team, and they'd be fast," Joseph head coach Toby Koehn said.aWe knew they were good, but we thought we were a little more prepared, defensively." Joseph, meanwhile, struggled to move the ball against a stout Mustang defense, asseveralEagles'drivesin the first half were stymied around midfield or just into Deary territory. Joseph's best drive came late in the first half. Starting at their own 37 yard line, the Eagles used a flurry of quick passes &om DeLury to Aaron Borgerding mixed in with a couple of DeLury runs to drive to the Deary 6. DeLury found Borgerding five times on the drive for 51 yards. "I think mainly just my athletic advantage, being i6-foot-4l and having a bigger wingspan," Borgerding, who was playing his first game of the season, said ofhis effectiveness as a receiver."I think they were just looking for me and I was there." But the drive again stalled. A penalty backed Joseph up to the 11 on fourth down and DeLury's final pass fell incomplete. Deary responded with a quick three-playdriveforits48-pointlead at

Joseph'sCayden DeLury attempts a pass during Friday's nonleague home game against Deary, Idaho. The Mustangs defeated the Eagles 60-0. the break. Joseph found the most success moving the ball on quick-hitting plays. But the Eagles were impacted by losing quarterback Sam Beckman to an injury on their second drive.
