As UnionCounty celebrates 150 years, it is important to remember that there was atime when Grande Ronde Valley residents did not have their fingers on the pulse ofbreaking national and international news. UnionCounty was farfiom the cutting edge of communications technology when it was founded Oct. 14, 1864. It had no telegraph service and would not foratleastanotherfouryears. Had there been telegraph service in the Grande Ronde Valley 150 years ago residents likely would have discussing a variety ofhot news topics in October 1864. Some of the topics of the day included: • The creation of Grant County on Oct. 14, the same day Union County came into being. • A proposed bill in the state Legislature, reported in the Oct. 15 edition of The Oregonian, would not allow people to vote unless they had paid their taxes. • A Oct. 1 cyclone which killed 70,000 people in India, according to the website www.

Historyorb.com. • The statehood Nevada was granted on Oct.4. Nevada became the 36th state in the Union. • The abolishment of slavery in Maryland on Oct. 4, according to www.Historyorb.com. • A bill signed by President Abraham Lincoln on Oct. 20 establishing Thanksgiving as a national holiday.

DICIC MASON

• The latest news on the presidential campaign front. The race matched Republican President Abraham Lincoln and his vice presidential running mate Andrew Johnson against Democratic nominee George McClellan and his running mateGeorge Pendleton, a U.S. Congressman from Ohio. McClellan and Pendleton were peace candidates, opposed to the Civil War. Pendleton, Oreo then named Marshall, would be named in honor of George Pendleton four years later, according to "Oregon Geographic Names" by Lewis A. McArthur. The Lincoln-Johnson ticket went on to win the 1864 electionby 10 percentage points and carried Oregon in the process. Lincoln received 9,888 votes in Oregon to McClellan's 8,457 according to www.uselectionsatlas.com. The close Oregon vote likely reflec ted how divided people See Mason / Page7A

Kitihader, Richardson dedatehasa real ditetoit By Taylor W. Anderson PORTLAND — A debate Friday that focused on how the state's next governor would address racial and gender equity issues turned into the most biting joint appearance yet between Democratic Gov.

On Oct. 14, 1864, the Oregon Legislature split Union County from Baker County. Read our special section dedicated to the 150 years of Union County inside today's paper. INSIDE • A letter of congratulations from Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber. • Not all pioneers settled in OldTown La Grande. Plenty made their way to neighboring communities, some of which no longer exist. • Few disputes, if any, raged as long or sparked as much bluster between two communities as the four-decade long battle for the countyseatbetween La Grande and Union. • No one can take a crystal ball and predict what the next150 years will bring for Union County, but seeing where a county has been can help show where it's headed.

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Oct. 13, 1932, President Herbert Hoover and Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington. In 1792, the cornerstone of the executive mansion, later known astheWhite House, was laid during a ceremony in the District of Columbia. In 1944, during World War II, American troops entered Aachen, Germany. In 1957, CBS-TV broadcast "The Edsel Show," a onehour live special starring Bing Crosby designed to promote the new, ill-fated Ford automobile. (It was the first special to use videotape technology to delay the broadcast to the West Coast.) In 1974, longtime television host Ed Sullivan died in New York City at age 73. In 1999, in Boulder, Colorado, the JonBenet Ramsey grand jury was dismissed after 13 months of work with prosecutors saying there wasn't enough evidence to charge anyone in the 6-yearold beauty queen's slaying.

TheWallowa County Chamber's board of directors voted to write a letter in support of theWallowa Lake Moraines Partnership's pursuit to purchase nearly1,800 acres of the east moraine for eventual ownership by the county.

ENTERPRISE — Maintaining the integrity of Wallowa Lake's east moraine has been a mission of the county since it wrote its land-use plan in 1976. Last week, the Wallowa Lake Chamber of Commerce's board ofdirectorsvoted to writea letter of supportto putnearly 1,800 acresinto county ownership. The Wallowa Lake Moraines Partnership seeks to do three things if funding can be secured to buy the property from the Yanke Family Trust — continue active forest and range management, maintain public access and preventdevelopment on the inside and crest of the moraine.

Three controlled archery deer hunts were added in the Walla Walla, Mount Emily and Wenaha units. In addition, there is no longer

a requirementto have a controlled elk archery tag to deer hunt. Tags will be valid during the general archery season. A new November controlled archery whitetail deerhunt in theWenaha unit was added with an estimated 30 tags, the only archery deer opportunity. The link between archery deer and elk tags was severed in the Sled Springs and Chesnimnus units; an archery elk tag will no longer be required to hunt deer and the Sled Springs and Chesnimnus units were added to the general archery deer season. The statewide cougar

quota was changed at Friday's meeting from 777 to 970toreflectincreasing cougar populations, more damage and public safety issues from cougar in some areas and deer and elk populations that are below objectives in many areas. The commission turned down a staff recommendation to add a new spring bear hunt in Southwest Oregon. The Siskiyou Plus hunt would have added 250 tagsto the spring season. The commission was also briefed on potential delisting of wolves in Eastern Oregon from the state Endangered Species Act. The

Oregon Wolf Plan, adopted in 2005, calls for considering delisting when Eastern Oregon has four breeding pairsforthreeconsecutive years. Staffhas documented at least four packs reproducing in the previous two consecutive years. If that trend continues, the delisting process would begin in April 2015. Before delisting could occur, the commission must determine that wolf populations in Eastern Oregon are not likely to become endangered,existing state and federal regulations are adequateto protectwolves, and thatother criteria are met.

The last day toregister fornew votersisrapidly approaching. New voters must register by Tuesday. They can fill out a regist ration card atthe county clerk's offtce, or can go online to www.oregonvotes. gov. There are also registration cards at local post offtces. The cards filled out at local post offices must be mailed with the postmark of no later than Oct. 14. Registered voters will get a ballottwo to threeweeks beforethe Nov. 4 election so they have ample time to research candidates and issues. awe recommend no one mails a ballot back to us after Oct. 30," said Robin Church, county clerk."It takes quite a bitoftim eforthem to get here through the mail." Church strongly encourages voters to use the drop boxes to ensure their votes are counted. There are two drop boxes at the county clerk's offtce,and oneeach at city halls in La Grande, Island City, Elgin, Cove, Union, Imbler and North Powder. 'There's one in every city," Church said.'Those are the offic iallyrecognized drop boxes that the clerk's office is responsible for — and they savethevotera stamp." Church said using the mail, in Oregon's vote by mail system, can take significant time, especially here where the mail has to go to Portland for processing and back. According to the secretary of state's offtce, to register to vote in Oregon, you must be a U.S. citizen, an Oregon residentand atleast18 yearsold. Online registration requires a current Oregon driver' slicense thatwas issuedafter 2006 or a state ID card. At the clerk's offtce, those who register must have a current Social Security card, a driver' slicense thatwas issuedafter 2006 or a state ID card. What's more, if people have changed their physical address, they must update their registration, Church said. Church also urges people, when voting, to not get too outlandish with their signatures. awe verify every signature so don't get fancy," she said. awe check every one."

The choice this election season for governor may appear to be a diKcult one but, in the end, it isn't. Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is the most qualified individual to lead the state into the future. Kitzhaber's Republican opponent, Dennis Richardson, o6'ers up a lot of great ideas but little substance. Richardson's career in the Oregon House of Representatives is a distinguished one but when it comes to specifics on key issues, there are a lot of nicesounding slogans and not much else. Kitzhaber has a proven track record that includes a number of triumphs — and at least one notable failure — as the steward of our state. There is no way to avoid the fact that the governor was at the helm when the Cover Oregon debacle erupted. And there is no way to spin that particular case in a good light. It was, pure and simple, a failure. However, Kitzhaber has never shied away from conceding as captain of the ship of state he was ultimately responsible for Cover Oregon. He stood accountable for the multi-million dollar insurance website mishap. To see a politician, any politician, actually be accountable for anything in this day and age is a wonder in and of itself. The Kitzhaber campaign has made some fairly wide-sweeping proclamations regarding the governor's success but, for the most part, those assertions are correct and Oregonians should seriously consider them before they vote. Under Kitzhaber's watch Oregon's unemployment dropped; thousands of new jobs have been created and the governor has consistently advocated spending more in an e6ort to invest in children and education. Also under Kitzhaber's watch, the state began to crawl out &om under the heavy burden of a severe recession. The reason it spiraled out of that economic downturn has a lot to do with Kitzhaber's brand ofleadership. Many may review recent news regarding Kitzhaber's personal life as somehow connected to the election. They should not be fooled. The actions of the governor's fiancee nearly 20 years ago are a key issue for their personal relationship but oflittle value and even less relevance when evaluating his candidacy. This year, this election season, Oregonians need to stick with a reliable, sound leader who knows how to get things done. Vote John Kitzhaber for governor.

Dropping AP sends wrong message You probably didn't hear much about it, but one of the critical programs designed to help veterans disappeared &om the public stage last month. While that, in and of itself, is sad, what is even more tragic is the fact the program didn't have to go away. In fact, there was federal funding set aside to keep the agenda vibrant, but someone at the Oregon Military Department dropped the ball. Last month, the 2014 fiscal year contract for the Oregon National Guard's Joint Transition Assistance Program — also known as JTAPexpired. The program, which helps service members and veterans find civilian employment, has in the past been recognized as one of the best in the nation. At a time when the global war on terror is winding down and thousands of veterans — including large numbers of Oregon Guardsmen — are returning home, one would think a program like JTAP would be a high priority for the Oregon Military Department. Apparently, though, it is not.

OPINION

MONDAY, OCTOBER 13,2014

Your views Mead: Who benefits from razing shelter? To the Editor: Having watched and read about the turmoil over the new courthouse and the Shelter From the Storm mess, I wish to pose a question often used by those folk interested in the shadows of a controversy: Who benefits? I submit that the beneficiaries are the folks who work there, that is, the judges, the lawyers, the police who handle prisoners iin those cases when there are such involved). Then we might ask, do these more efficient" facilities improve the productdelivered?Arethe judges wiser? Are the attorneys smarter?Does thepolicedepartm ent operate more appropriately? Are any decisions made in this system improved by the expenditure of several millions of dollars? As an ex-CASA worker who spent many days in court involved in the proceedings, I can safely say that those pillars everyone wants to blame for needing a new courthouse because folk in the bleachers couldn't see the folk in &ont of the fence, or the court stafFcouldn't see them, is pretty much a bogus argument as, most of the time, there are veryfew spectatorsin court. So, back to the question: Who benefits? Certainly not the folk whose building is going to be razed. The beneficiaries are the judges and attorneys who will feel warm and fuzzy in their new place of work. And, of course, to those hardworking county commissioners who brought us pie in the sky iquoting Woody Guthrie) and are hard at work patting themselves on the back for a job well done and for the sterlingcharacterthattherestof the state sees imbedded in Union County.

happens in buildings that are 75 years old and older. What we need is rigorous education, fed by highly trained and educated teachers who are passionate about bringing that excellence to their students. Teachers in Finland, for example,undergo a difficult six-year training and internship similar to what a doctor has undergone, and their profession is respected and paid comparably. Few are admittedto the teacher education programs because they are so rIgorous. As shown by these examples, students from schools where they are not coddled, excused nor allowed to slide in any manner face their next adventures ready for what will face them. Too many of our students have to take remedial classes when they go to college. What a waste of time,money and energy. Let's change the focus from buildings, whiteboards, iPads for kindergartners and sports, which do not guarantee a quality education. Students have gone to school in buildings in much worse shape than whatwe have in La Grande and graduatedready tomeet the challenges in our global world. Let's give that gift to our children.

Kaufmann:USFS intent

on keepingus offland To the Editor: I found John D. George's letter of Oct. 10 to be a greatreminder of what our local Forest Service is doing to us. As someone who has been interested in this issue since the early 1990s, I would like to share a little background on it here. This nationwide closure of public land to the public began on the East Coast in the early 1990s and has slowly worked its way across America one national forest, one national grassland and one desert at a time. The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is to my knowledge the last remaining tract of public land that still has an open-road policy in place in our nation — of course that needs to be taken with a grain of salt since the Forest Service here has been locking up or tank trapping the roads here for more than 30 years now to keep you out. W e have gone through quite a few localForestServicesupervisors in the last few years while they try to find the "right" person to finish locking us out of our public land. Nature has shown us over the last decade or more what happens when you lock something up and don't take care of it, yet the Forest Service just keeps locking it up and then wonders why it burns to the ground and there's no money left in the budget for anything else. It is a simple matter of public record what has happened to the other counties across the nation that have gone through this and that have tried to work with the Forest Service/BLM on road closures. We are not the first to deal with this, yet we are going down the same path that didn't work for them. So, just how many times does the Forest Service have to change therulesin the m iddleofthisbefore our county leaders get it? J. R. Kaufmann La Grande

Cooper: Vote Howard, Lindsley for commission To the Editor: It is obvious &om recent events that Union County is overdue for a change. Our county commissioners, despite earning an income almost threetimes that oftheaverage county resident iplus benefits), have led us into a morass caused by years of poor decisions. We now own a golf course and a choo-choo train, but are demolishing a center and dismantling programsforvictims ofviolence and sexual assault. They destroy 16-year-old buildings in order to preserve ones that are 80 years old. They ignore numbers and logic; this is their version of"common sense." Our commissioners also seem to be severely challenged when it comes to issues of ethics and transparency. They don't answer letters, phone calls or emails, and ignore public comments and concerns. They don't keep regular hours and are seldom found at work, preferring to augment their income by "moonlighting" at the golf course or theirotherjobs. They hold meetings when most residents cannot attend. Meeting minutes have not been posted since May, in flagrant violation of Sunshine Laws ithe Oregon Secretary of State recommends posting within three weeks). Jack Howard and Bill Lindsley offerafresh alternative to ourstale county"leadership." Jack Howard brings a wide background in law, public planning, volunteer services, and senior and disabled issues. He has solid ideas to make this county work better. Bill Lindsley brings his experience as mayor of Union, and his integrity as a blue-collar worker. Vote for Jack Howard for County Commission Position 1, and write in Bill Lindsley for Position 2 — and don't forget to check the box. We cannot afford any more of the current"common sense."

Hang-gliding turkeyvulturestake ylayto thenemtlevel ost humans as we accelerate intothe second decade ofthe 21st century have moved beyond fight or flight or be turned into an hors d'oeuvre. We don't have to run 10 miles each day in an attempt to catch our mac and cheese. We don't have to constantly look over our shoulder to see if something is gaining on us, which it usually is, or peer into the sky watching for predators who think we are their own personal Big Mac. Still, even as comfy as human existence is in the 21st century, there are times when it would be nice to be a turkey vulture. Yes, the big uglies of the avian world. The scavengers. The birds that kids play dead for, hoping to attract their circling attention.

ON SECOND THOUGHT JEFF PETERSEN It wouldbe niceto be free of the confines of gravity and the 9-to-5 world. To soar and not worry about tanking 401Ks and the idiots on TV who hammer this theme incessantly. Several times recently, near Cove and Union, I've had the pleasure to watch hang-gliding turkey vultures in flocks of 10 to 20, kettling in preparation for migration. They are riding updrafts. They go minutes without flapping a wing. The view must be glorious, the feeling one of true freedom. The turkey vultures seem to be at play. Only something dead and

smelly on the ground will break the spell, their version of MREs, or mealsready toeat. Mainly, the turkey vultures seem to behaving fun. They ride the wind like it is their own amusement park, except without the Whirl-n-Gag. Admittedly, I thought they were hawks. A neighbor who knows her birds set me straight. She is among my friends who can identify every plant and bird, know their scientific names,maybe even theirtendencies on fourth down and goal from the three-yard line. Try as I might, I am not one of those people. My favorite bird book, as you might expect, identifies birds by color. It's simple. See a big brown bird? Turn to the brown section. Find the bird in question and the

book provides a baseballcard of information, everything but their runs batted in and earned run average. Mostly, I appreciate what birds can do that I can't — fly, hover, play Blue Angels precision jet team games. Of course birds,too,arelimited. A hummingbird can't fly like an eagle, but it can perch on a millworkers' stubby finger and fill up on premium. Crows can't drive cars. But they can fly around in gangs and give every indication that they'd rather play than work, that they will happen on their next meal without bursting a blood vessel in their forehead. Robins can't order Starbucks. But they can, with their work ethic, aerate a yard when spring breezes

reach their apex and Northeast Oregon wind chimes — blacksmith's anvils — begin to rock and roll. Owls can't boogie. But they can call off the hours from their sentry posts in Ponderosa pines. Eagles can't win the Powerball lottery. But they can dive on fish and make the fish's last view on earth spectacular. The point is, sometimes the ugly, turkey vultures, is beautiful, and sometimes the beautiful is a beast. As a human, hang gliding scares me. It's not on my top-100 bucket list. But if I were a turkey vulture, I'd come by the skill naturally. And in fall, before the greatmigration,also known in turkey vulture circles as the Big Trip, I'd celebrate by hang glidingwhenever updrafts and thermals beckoned.

The Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation is evaluating a portion of the Grande Ronde River from Sheep Creek up to Hilgard Junction State Park to see if it should be considered to be brought in as an Oregon ScenicWaterway. The state is taking comments through Wednesday.

didn't know about until last week. Richardson, R-Central Point, used his first rem arks of thedebatetocall on the governor to investigate Hayes' consulting work, which Kitzhaber said he will not do. The"issue is about the intersection between a modern pmfessional woman and the mle of first lady," Kitzhaber said, adding Hayes'work fmm the Capitol was deemed appropriate by attorneys in the governor's office. Kitzhaber said a woman shouldn't be expected to give up her professional life if she is married to the governor, which drew applause from the audience at the debate hosted by the City Club of Portland. That didn't quell Richardson, who said the state must investigate Hayes' work that he said may violate state ethics rules, as Hayes is considered a public official. "I call on the governor to askfora specialprosecutor to investigate this," Richardson said, adding that state law might have been broken. "The answer is no," Kitzhabersaid before asking to move onto "the real issues that the governor is going to have to deal with." The two sparred about the issue of Hayes for about seven minutes before Oregon Public Broadcasting host and debate moderator Dave Miller agreed the debate should turn to what policies the next governor would implement to deal with racial and gender inequality. Richardson made clear many ofhis policies are in stark contrast with those of Kitzhaber, who is seeking a record fourth term as the state's chiefexecutive. Richardson said he supportsexporting coalfrom the Port of Morrow near Boardman, which he says would let the state to transport coal to Asia where it is going to be burned anyway. The state denied a key permit for a coal terminal that would ship coal from Wyoming and Montana overseas.

We want to hearyour thoughts. Email letters ' to the editor to letters@ lagrandeobserver. com and join the conversation on The Observer Opinion

page. Richardson said shipping coal from the port would be more environmentally friendly than sending it to terminals farther away in British Columbia. Kitzhaber said he was more concerned with science that shows unhealthy air pollution from coal burned in Asia comes across the Pacific Ocean and back into the United States. "I want my son to be able to geta clean breath ofair," Kitzhaber said. Richardson also tried to keep attention on what has beenacentralpartof his campaign to unseat Kitzhaber: pay gaps within the governor's office. A story this summer reportedthatKitzhaber pays women in his office 79 percent what he pays men. Kitzhaber called the report"categorically untrue" becauseitdidn'ttakeinto account the jobs performed by employees. He says he gives "equal pay for equal work." "I just think it's interesting that after 11 years in the Legislature Rep. Richardson hasn't introduced a single bill for pay equity," Kitzhaber said. Richardson wouldn't say whether he would sign a bill eliminating Oregon's ban on inclusionary housing, which Kitzhaber promised to sign if it reached his

desk. Local governments use inclusionary housing to require a portion of new housing to be affordable. It's seen as a way to prevent gentrification of certain areas. Richardson said he would need to know the details of such a bill before saying whether he would sign it. The two candidates will meet again in Portland on Tuesday, the day of the voterregistration deadline and the day before the state is set to mail out ballots.

Ranchers want more precise info on wolves CENTRAL POINTRanchers in Eastern Oregon say they want to have more precise information on the location of wolves, which has conservation groups worried aboutthe increased threat of poaching. The East Oregonian reported the request came Friday before the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission in Central Point. ODFW already tracks and shares the location of GPScollared wolves with livestock producers. The data places wolves within one of several pre-defined geographic areas, but does not tell ranchers where exactly the predators have been. Ranchers say that's not enough; they need the wolves' pinpoint location to betterprotectlivestock,chase wolves out of the pasture and find dead or injured cows quickly.

GARDEN GUIDE JENNIE HAGEN

Go garlic: Planting options still abound Have you planted your garlic yet? Ifnot,don'tdespair,thereisactually plenty of time to get your garlic in the ground prior to freezing. Funny thing about garlic, there are more ways of planting it than I had once imagined. I have recently learned from longtime gardeners who are Basque descendants that they don't plant their garlic until the first full moon in October. And if that window is missed, they wait until the full moon of November. This was surprising to me as it's always been my belief that garlic absolutely had tohave rootsestablished and even top growth wasn't frowned on, prior to ground freeze here. So once again I've learned something new and, again, I've seen there are rarelyhard and fastrulesto getting your hands dirty, just those lovely general rules we seek to rely on. So I give a hearty tip of the gardening hat to my long-timegardening and new-found friends, the Basque. They are just as successful growing garlic as I am. Most ofyou will recall the reasoning behind not making a tidy garden prior to winter, and this year will be no exception. Leaving this season's old growth on perennial flowers and ornam ental grasses accomplishes avariety ofhorticultural goals. SeeGarlicIPuI,e 2B

re usesto oawaV The huge single bloom (as opposed to the ruSe kind) oriental poppies are amazingly determined. If you dig one upand move it,you then have two — one where you dugit up and a new one. I was shocked to learn this after I first moved what I thought was the whole plant from one place to another. The next spring I had two blooming poppies. One in the original place and one in the new place. Holy wow, that was a surprise. I have to admit I finally used Round-up at the original site since the poppy wasn't suitable there. I eventually moved the already moved poppytoan out-of-the-way flower bed when our whole yard was torn up a few years ago and lots of cement work was done.

GRANNY'S GARDEN I

CRISTINE MARTIN When dirt was dug out to put in a large driveway where the poppy had been, the roots got mixed into the dirt that was piled out back. Eventually when the soil was spread around for a new lawn we had poppy starts here and there so I would plant them over in the out of the way bed where the original finally ended up.

Second, they supply small birds with seed heads to browse and pick through and third, perhaps the most important, they protect the new growth that has emerged and is remaining dormant until the ground thaws and days become longer in the spring. All three of which are reasons enough to keep that garden

POPPY Continued from Page 1B I should mention the original never did miss a blooming season even with being moved twice during the construction work. In the new location I have dug up all but the original many times to put in pots to give to friends, but they just keep coming back. I get reports of their blooming at new homes, which is nice. I have two old plants and they don't spread much and never take over, but I suspect they could be dug up and divided into several good plants. These poppies don't spread by seeds as near as Ican tell,butjustby arootstart. They have the most amazing blooms and I love to look down in the middle of them, (ahhhh choo) to see the velvety, midnight black centers. The honeybees love them, but do get a little drunk and buzz around helplessly down in the flower. In the spring if you see my Orientalpoppies blooming along the fence atthe

DORY Continued from Page 1B Many years ago, it seems eons to me, we in school were the ones who thought about Christopher Columbus who "...In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue..." and changed any lives we may have had elsewhere had his trip not happened. We made paper ships and talked about how it must have been to be a sailor in those times. He was an exciting adventurer to set out on unknown waters and we sailed with him in thought. It was a good history lesson in a fun way. Yesterday was Columbus Day but we celebrate it today. Maybe a day late isn't too bad, for we can send him a belatedcard ofcongratula-

variablesthat keep indoor plants happy, so a solution to increase humidity can be as simple as placing a tray with pebbles under your plants that require more humidity. Pour water over the pebbles just up to the top of the pebbles, this will give most plants the added humidity they require. If you are adding water every day, your tray may not be deep enough. Plastic or acrylicdecorator trays are very inexpensive and can be purchased at several area locations, usually in the housewares department.

west side of our house, do stop and look down in the middle of them. You will be glad you did. It is an amazing sight. The Oriental poppies send up a few leaves in the fall and in a long fall like this year they do have a few smaller blooms. This doesn't seem to make any difference with the big growth and blooms in the spring.

Attention to those who received raised garden plans from me:

P I

Due to a miscommunication with my husband, I didn't know he was fixing up a much better plan with excellent information. If I sentyou the simple plan just e-mail me your address and I will mail the updated one. I'm so sorry for the mix-up. Anyone else may send a self-addressed envelope. Contact me any time at crisjmar@eoni. com with comments or suggestions. Be sure to type "garden" in the subject line. Many of you knowway more than Ido about growing things.

Along with Columbus, the calendar tells me that we now also celebrate a new date — that of Oct. 16 labeled Bosses Day in which we may recognize those who lead us through the pitfalls of our jobs. So, with acclaim we thank our bosses for their leadership and encouragement when we are in need ofit. I have three bosses for whom I am currently grateful, two for keeping my column on board so long and the third as leader of us all as publisher. Of course, you know I am referring to Andrew Cutler, editor of the La Grande Observer, and Jayson Jacoby, editor of the

Baker City Herald, with Kari Borgen as regional publisher ofboth newspapers. They aren't easy jobs and theyareto be admired and respected for the many tasks that come under their titles. I'mnotsure how many kudos theygetfor theireffort, but I imagine the criticisms come moreeasily overrealor imaginederrorsthatsurface. It's the whole crew that puts together the newspaper that are included in my thanks for all they do every day to make the paper as good as they can with limited staff, especially under the stresses that are given daily, but today my hat also goes off to our leadership who sail our media ships down sometimes rough and murky seas.

Senior pride leading Tigers

shINoINwin By Eric Avissar The Observer

While dominating possession and playing virtually the entire first half in the Ontario penalty box, the La Grande girls soccer team had no diKculty creating chances early on. It was just the finishing touch that eluded the team early on. In the 37th minute, though, La Grande finally opened the game up, as Kaylene Smith scored off a deflection, putting the Tigers up 1-0. Six minutes later, Alissa Welberg scored a penalty kick to put the Tigers up two goals heading into halftime en route to a 5-0 win Saturday at home. SeeShutout/Page 6C

Eastern Oregon may have suff ered a devastating loss Saturday at Community Stadium when it was routed by Carroll College, 55-7, but one of its stars reached a milestone in the loss. Junior wide receiver Jace Billingsley had three receptions during the game to become the all-time receptions leader in Mountaineer history with 165 catches, eclipsing Ray Patrick's mark of162.

Billingsley makes Mountie history

eading into its Greater Oregon League opener and senior night showdown against Baker, the stakes were not only high for the La Grande football program, they were at a levelthe current crop ofplayers never experienced before. Whether they are playing merely for pride, as La Grande did in its home victory over Mac-Hi to close out last season, or if they have everything to play for against Baker, Tigers' seniors have consistently shown their willingness to rise to the occasion. Though the La Grande scored all 37 of its points in the second half the Tigers faced a tremendous amount of adversity in both halves. In the first half, the offensive line did a dreadfuljob ofprotectingquarterback Brandon Dall.

Ontario blanks La Grande in matchup of Tigers BOYS SOCCER

• La Grande allows goals in both halves to drop home GOL match By Eric Avissar The Observer

La Grande faltered in its Greater Oregon League home opener from start to finish, falling to Ontario by a 2-0 margin Saturday. With La Grande constantly failing to put a string of consecutive passestogether,Ontario performed well enough to earn the league victory on the road. ''We had a lack of communication that isolated our players," La Grande coach Jessy Watson said.

''When you get on the balland no one's talking to you or anyone else, you're wondering who you play the ball to. Then you realize you don't know where anyone is. These things happen because we're not maturely dealing with what's going against us." Watson added he was frustrated with the loss, with La Grande no longer in control of its destiny in the GOL. The hosts created few scoring opportunities, which was an uncharacteristic issue. "Our lack of scoring chances were also a result of a lack of communication,"Watson said.'The killer is

t hat we create opportunities, and we do not capitalize on them, and that changes the momentum of the game. For the first 15 to 20 minutes, it was down-and-back, down-andback, then we had full control of the tempo. Then, against the run of play, we're standing around ball-watching, then they nick one in, and it all goes to hell." La Grande conceded a goal in both halves,. Ontario's Jose Navarrete converted a one-on-one opportunity to putthevisitorsup 1-0. ''We knew Ontario would be a tough team to beat," La Grande center-back Josh Ebel said.'They've smashed their opponents, and we knew it wasn't going to be an easy

0 CB SS 1 • Union/Cove remains undefeated behind Murchison to Scantling scoring strike By Josh Benham The Observer

Union/Cove features a strong running attack and doesn't ask quarterback Derrick Murchison to win games by himself. The senior proved Friday night that he can do just that, however, when the game calls for it. Murchison found wide receiver Brooke Scantling for a go-ahead 20-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter after connecting with Scantling on the prior fourth-down play, and the Bobcatdefense forced a turnover on downs by Imbler on its final gasp as Union/Cove held on for a thrilling 22-20 Wapiti League win over Imbler in Union. Trailing by four points midway through the fourth quarter, the Bobcats took over on their own 44-yard line. After a 13-yard run by senior TaytonDuby,Union/Cove faced a fourth-and-12. Murchison got good pass blocking from his offensive line and hit Scantling behind the Panther's defense for a 39-yard gain down to the Imbler 5-yard line. "It's basically a trips right, and we have the two running backs on the inside, and I was on the outside," the junior Scantling said.'The inside guys

make the safeties come in, and they were playing way over to the inside. I justran as hard as I could, and my quarterback bombed it." After a holding penalty moved the ball to the 20, Murchison hooked up with Scantling for the touchdown strike in the corner of the end zone with 5:06 to play. "Since we're a running team, we ask iDerrickl to do a few things very well," Union/Cove head coach Jon Reynolds said.'When his protection held up, he made the plays. Senior leadership is what it is." Imblerconverted a third-and-1 on Brandon McGilvray's two-yard run on its own 44-yard line. But the drive stalled there when quarterback Austin Insko's fourth-down pass went incomplete, the second straight defensivestop forUnion/Cove. 'You can't ask any more out of a group of kids to have two stops like that in the fourth quarter," Reynolds said."I'm almost speechless, and that never happens with me." Murchison finished with 128 yards, going eight-for-12 with two touchdowns. Scantling had 95 yards on three receptions — all in the fourth quarter — and junior running back Aaron Clark rushed 12 times for 60

yards and a score. 'This is my first win over Imbler," Murchison said."Imbler has been the big talk of Union County, and finally someone knocked them off. It feels pretty great that it was us." Imbler senior Joe GriSn rushed for 133 yards on 20 carries, and Insko passed for 116 yards and a touchdown. "It came down to one or two plays," Imbler assistant coach Todd Thompson said.' They made them, and we didn't." Imbler opened the scoring in the second quarter with Insko's 19-yard pass to Luke Silbernagel to take a 6-0 lead. Union/Cove responded with Murchison's 1-yard toss to J.D. Graves on fourth-and-goal, and a 2-point conversiongave the Bobcatsan 8-6 lead with 6:12 left in the half. Union/Cove took a 16-6 lead into haljme following Clark's 3-yard touchdown in the waning moments of the haK Gri5n's 1-yard score in the third quarter cut the lead to 16-12, and Silbernagel's 2-yard touchdown with 10:10 left in the fourth put Imbler up 20-16. Union/Cove i5-0 overall, 1-0 Wapiti) travels to Grant Union Friday, while Imbler i3-2 overall, 0-2 Wapiti) hosts Enterprise Oct. 24.

Elgin broke a 36-all fourthquarter tie with Chance Weaver's 42-yard touchdown run, leading to a 42-36 win over fellow independent Perrydale on the road. Senior Jordan Vermillion led the ground attack of the Huskies with 108 yards and three touchdowns.

After dropping a 1-0 contest to Southern Oregon on Thursday, Eastern Oregon played Oregon Tech to a 0-0 draw Saturday in a Cascade Collegiate Conference match in Klamath Falls. "There were a lot of ups, and a couple downs," Eastern interim head coach Samuel Thomas said."I was happy with how the second half and overtime went. We gototfto a slow start,but once we got our feet under us, we looked like the better team. Sometimes that's how sports go. You can be the betterteam in every aspect of the game except the final score." Sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Parker made all four savesto preserve the tie. "Jessica had a good weekend, in general," Thomas said."In the Oregon Tech

match,she did a goodjob coming out of the box and playing the line." Eastern junior midfielder

Haley Hill had a good look in the first half, but her shot at the 17th minute was blocked by the Oregon Tech defense. In the second half, Parker made three saves on shots by Amanda Hisey within 15 minutes of each other, helping send the game to the first overtime. The Owls took the only shots of the first 15 minutes, with both shots sailing wide of the net. The Mounties' &eshman defender Kendra Corless was able to get a look during the second overtime, but her shot was wide of the net. Despite the draw, Thomas felt the Mounties outplayed the Owls in the latter stages of the match, and especially in the extra periods. "I love the direction the team is heading," he said.

DEFEAT

After struggling on offense for two games, Oregon responded with a much more typical outburst against

UCLA. The 42-30 rebound victory over the Bruins on Saturday was just what the Ducks i5-1, 2-1 Pac-12l needed as they prepare tofacerival Washington i5-1, 1-1l this weekend at Autzen Stadium. Oregon hadn't had a 100-yard rusher all season, and the team was held to 144 yards on the ground in a 31-24 upset loss to Arizona in the

FOOTBALL previous game. But against the then-No. 18 Bruins, true freshman Royce Freeman broke free with 121 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries, and the Ducks re-established themselves as a top 10 team. Star quarterback Marcus Mariota contributed by rushing for 75 yards and two more touchdowns, including a nail-biting keeper in the third quarterwhen he fumbled and then scoopedup the ballhimselffor a 23-

uge win over Bruins yard touchdown. Mariota threw for 210 yards and two scores— and cleared up all doubts about his health. Following the loss to the Wildcats, offensive coordinatorScottFrostsuggested Mariota might be a little banged up. Mariota had been sacked 12 times in two games — including seven timesin a too-close-for-comfort 38-31 victory over Washington State prior to the Arizona loss. The offensive line has been missing starters Tyler Johnstone, Andre Yruretagoyena and Jake Fisher for

the past two games. True &eshman Tyrell Crosby and walk-on Matt Piersonstarted their second game at the tackle spots. Fisher, however, returned against the Bruins and played an important rolein both protecting Mariota and providing a steadying influence. M ariota was grateful. "For him, he was very excited to come back. He was really motivated to get out there and do his thing, and he wanted to bring everybody else along," Mari ota said."That type of thing is huge for us."

During the last three cross country races, La Grande's Todd Keniry and Elliot Jonasson, Keniry has won by increasingly smaller margins. At the Dry Side Shootout on Eastern Oregon University's campus Friday, Jonasson finally caught his teammate and close friend Keniry, winning the race in 17 minutes, 18 seconds, eight seconds ahead of Keniry. 'This win feels great," Jonasson said."All the hard works is paying off this late in the season." Both Jonasson and Keniry said they've both pushed each other to improve, which in turn enables both runners to keep improving." Keniry and Jonasson designed the Dry Side Shootout course with the help of Union/Cove cross country assistant coach Tim Vandervlugt. Both Keniry and Jonasson said they run together year-round, constantly pushing each other to improve. cWe train together all the time, pretty much all of my running is with him," Keniry said.cWe're always going at it, and pushing each other. He's definitely pushed me to get better." With Keegan Dutto finishing in

In the second half, Dall said the offensive line did a much better job ofpassprotection. "During the past couple of years, I haven't had the offensive line I have this year, so I'm kind ofbeen used to running around for my life," Dall said. '"'Baker was blitzing a lot and throwing our guys off guard. Coach iChad Smith) has just told me avoid the pressure, escape real quick and get the ball out as fast as I can, so that's what I was trying to do." In addition to Peasley's standout receiving performance, Isaiah Cranfordcaught nine passesfor 140 yards. Many of Cranford's receptions came on jump balls that Dall lofted up for the 6-foot-4 junior, including the last catch — a 14 yard touchdown that put the Tigers up two touchdowns with 1:19 left to play. "I couldn't believe it when Isaiah scored that touchdown," Drew Hively said."I was so relieved. I knew we won it at that point." The Tiger offense suffered through an anemic first half in which it was unable to score any points despite La Grande's Robert Gillies and Connor Brandt recovering fumbles that Marcus Plumly and Porter Cline coughed up, while also forcing a turnover on downs on Baker's 24-yard line. The Tigers run defense struggled to contain Cline all game, as the junior starting running back ran for 304 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns. Cline also had two touchdown runs called back for holding penalties. The third quarter quickly turned into back-and-forth scoring affair after La Granderunning back Ray Jimenez showed his shiftiness and agility on a 23-yard touchdown run. In response, Cline bursted through the La Grande defense for a 41-yard touchdown less than a minute and a halflater. With the Bulldogs continuing to blitz the Tigers, Dall threw a screen pass to Jimenez, who ran it 77 yards for a

The Bulldogs responded immediately, as Brandon Stairs took a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. Refusing to be outdone, the Tigers respondedon thefollowing drive,as Peasley made his first touchdown reception with 1:57 left in the third. After the win, Peasley said he was impressed with how the offensive line was able to adjust to Baker's blitzing. "The passprotection improved alot in the second half," Peasley said.
