• Healthy School Food Report Card highlights strengths and weaknesses in the lunch room By Laura Frazier The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Roughly two-thirds of Oregon's eligible low-income students don'teatfree orreduced-price breakfast at school, a new report shows. The 2015 Healthy School Food Report Card, released Wednesday, points out the state's strengths and weaknesses when it comes to providing student meals and promoting healthy nutrition. The report is the first to be developed by Upstream Public Health and the American Heart Associati on.The reportratesvarious facets of school nutrition as either outstanding, satisfactory or in need of improvement. Students might face many barriers to academic success, including inadequate nutrition. Nutrition should be a priority of schools, said Kasandra GriSn, policy

manager for school and food health at Upstream Public Health, a nonprofit organization, founded in 2002 to promote the social, economic, political, and community conditions that improve the health and well-being of Oregonians. "One oftheeasiest4 arriersltosolve is making sure that once istudentsl are there, they have the nutrition that they need to concentrate,"she said. Overallthe statewas rated outstanding forfourelements, satisfactory for another four and in need of improvement for three. The state earned an outstanding ranking for boosting funding for Farm to School programs and increasing access to free meals. The Oregon Legislature allocated $4.5 million in grants for Farm to Schoolprograms tohelp schoolsserve locally sourced meals, and the state now

coversfreemeals for30,000 more students from low-income families, according tothereport. However, the report points out that not all students eligible for free and reducedpricemeals take advantage in spite of access. About 95 percent of Oregon schools offerbreakfast,the reportstates,and all can serve breakfast during class. But onlyabout 37 percent ofeligible students eatfree breakfast,m arked as an areafor improvement. About 66 percent of qualifying students eat school lunch, earning the state a satisfactory score. At La Grande High School, about 20 percent of students from families who qualify for free and reduced-price lunches are not receiving them because they do not fill out and submit the required See Lunches / Page5A

Island City Elementary School student Havvan Clark, center, leaps for a Frisbee during the eighth annual Frisbee tournament Friday at Central Elementary School. Approximately 200 La Grande area elementary school students descended on Central Elementary School for the tournament. Fifth graders (and one split group of fourth and fifth graders) from Island City, Greenwood and Central elementary schools took part in the 28-team event, which fills a physical education unit requirement for students to learn a new activity, according to Island City fifth-grade teacher Darren Hendrickson. Hendrickson added the event also helps promote cardiovascular health and sportsmanship and gives an added opportunity for the youth to interact and form friendships before entering middle school.

Medical leave request turned down UNION — A request for medical leave was turned down by the Union City Council on Friday. The request had been made by Mayor Ken McCormack, who had asked for a three-month medical leave. The city council rejected the requestbecause thelossofM cCormackwould have meant that a seat on the Union City Council would have been vacant for three months, said City of Union Administrator Sandra Patterson. Had McCormack been granted medical leave, the city council president would have temporarily moved into the mayor's position. This would have left the council president's seat open.

OUR VIEW

The fire dangers remains high in the forests that surround our great piece of Oregon. While serious concerns about wildland blazes is routine during the summer months, to realize that just a few weeks fi om Halloween the specter of forest fire is still acute is troubling. Of course, there are an array of factors that contribute to this scenario including climate change, drought and, we believe, past forest management techniques. Yet while we urge all of those entering into the woods over the next few weeks for the annual hunting season to be prudent with fires, a larger question still remains unanswered regarding what doesthefuture hold for our greatforestlands. Right now, there appears to be some focus on finding a method to salvage as much burned timber from the areas destroyed by wildfires this summer as possible. That is a good first step, but no one can be sure if the kind of salvage operations necessary will even occur without sparking some kind of legal action. It is impossible to gauge the future, but often the pastis used as aguidepostand a passage toyesteryear tells us that not much will be done by federal or state agencies to clean up badly overgrown foreststhatare,in fact,tinderboxes.Instead,every summer larger and hotter fires will continue to scorch large swaths of public land — such as the case locally and in Baker County this past summ er — and gobble up taxpayer dollars. The real question to the Forest Service and to the BureauofLand Management should be:W hat, exactly, is being done to lessen the danger of these terrible wildfires? No what to do afterward, but what, exactly, can be or will be done to clean up overgrown forests that prove to be as lethal as lakes of gasoline every summer? These shouldn't be difficult questions. Instead of focusing every year on reacting to these forest fires — and thus spending millions in taxpayer dollars — what can be done to evade them? What can the local resident concerned about these fires do to help federal and state agencies make decisions on this important matter? W e can keep doing what we have done foryears — and, in turn, cost taxpayers more money — or perhaps residents, environmentalists and federal and state officials can work together to find a viable solution. Allowing the status quo with our forests to continue, however, is a bankrupt strategy.

Your views Rademacher: Prejudices again cost Eastern Oregon To the Editor: Once again personal prejudices and ignoranceoffacthascostthe citizens Eastern Oregon. Hypocritical local politicians who pick and choose what rights we are allowed to exercise have cost the community jobs and the benefits of substantial tax revenues by opting out of cannabis sales. More than $11 million was spent on recreational cannabis in the first week of sales, $3.5 million on the first

day. Our schools are understaffed and underfunded, our roads and bridges are in disrepair ,and yetourelected offi cials turn their backs on much needed tax revenue to support their outdated and ignorant ideals. A majority — 52 percent — of the city of LaGrande voted to legalize recreational cannabis, but its officials ignore thatmajority and cling to a 1920sprohibitionist mentality. They are willing to put $500,000 into an unopened grocery store but unwilling to simply accept the tax revenue oflegal citizens utilizing their right to consume cannabis. Elgin and Island City opted out before they even had a chance of gathering any information. What angers me the most is that we have to put up with this fiscally irresponsiblecronyism forthe foreseeable future. I sadly see nothing but more whining and complaining about how the "west side" gets everything, while our "leaders" thwart any potentialprogress for our community from their idealistic pulpits.

Americans. In the months leading up to the 11th anniversary of 9/11, there were several attacks upon western installations in Benghazi, severe enough that the British withdrew their people. Faced with a deteriorating situation, Ambassador Stephens repeatedly requested security upgrades for his consulate. These were denied. The U. S. government regarded Benghazi as an acutely dangerous post, yet the consulate's security apparatus did not meet the minimum standards for such installations. By law, the only person who may wave security protocols is the secretary of state, which then was Hillary Clinton. On Sept. 11, wave after wave of Islamists armed with firebombs, rocket propelled grenades and mortars attacked our consulate. Outgunned and overwhelmed, four Americans were murdered, including Ambassador Stephens. But afterwards, on Sunday talk shows, U. N. Ambassador Susan Rice claimed the Benghazi attacks were a spontaneous reaction to an obscure YouTube video produced by an Egyptian Coptic Christian. That video had indeed been a minor issue in another demonstration a few hours earlier in Egypt, but in Libya, the video was a non-event. Yet the Obama Administration clung to this line for several months, as President Obama had said that al-Qaida had been decimated while the well-organized Benghazi attack said otherwise. Facing Congressional investigations into Benghazi, Mrs. Clinton famously asked, 'What difference does it make?" The Benghazi attack reveals her incompetence in discharging her duties as secretaryofstate,and was followed by a massive cover-up. It also showed why we do not want her in the Oval 0$ce receiving those 3 a.m. emergency phone calls. Pete Sundin Baker City

RULES Continued from Page1A The proposed rules, which head to the commission for approval, will shape everything from detailed application requirements to the security growers must install at their indoor and outdoor facilities. Some of the rules are controversial, such as the prohibition on medical marijuana dispensaries sharing locations with recreational stores. Liquor commission officials do not have authority over medical marijuana so mingling the two establishments makes enforcement a challenge, officials said. A proposed ban on on-site consumption at licensed marijuana facilities also generated pushback from some m embers of therulesadvisory committee, who argued thatpeopleneed a legalplace to consume cannabis. 'These are things that adults in Oregon want to do," said Anthony Johnson, chiefpetitioner ofM easure 91."Theyvoted to be ableto utilize it. The state is better off if it's done in a regulated manner." Fees were another hot topic at Friday's meeting, where several committee members said expensive licensing costs would discourage some from joining the regulated market. Under Oregon's recreational marijuana program, the state will issue licenses for producers, processors, wholesalers, retailers ,laboratoriesand researchers. The proposed fees are much higher than what was

included under Measure 91. The Oregon Legislature this year required that the licensing fees generate enough revenuetocoverthe state's marijuana regulation and enforcement responsibilities. Steven Marks, executive director of the liquor commission,said theproposed fees arebased on estimates of what it will cost to administer the marijuana program. He said the agency could revisit the issue once the program is off the ground. Johnson and other rules advisory committee members said marijuana entrepreneurs face fees imposed by local governments on top of the state licensing fees. Higher fees mean higher retail prices,which supports Oregon's already robust black market, industry representativessaid. "I amafraid thesefees,on top of fees that localities are imposing,areputting prices too high and pricing out mom and pop and hurting the ability of the regulated market to compete with the unregulated market," Johnson said. Under the proposed rules, the state would issue two tiersoflicenses for growers depending on size. Tier I growers would be required to pay $3,750 annually for a license and Tier II

would pay $5,750. A Tier I license for indoor growers allows producers to cultivate up to 5,000 square feetofspace.Tier IIcovers between 5,001 and 10,000 square feet of production. For outdoor growers, a Tier I license allows cultivation of upto 20,000 square feet, a little less than a half-acre.

Also, all schoolscan now offer"breakfastafter the bell," letting students eat during classinstead ofin the cafeteria before schoolstarts,according to the report.

Councilman Troy Pointer and newcomer George Mead are vying for the position. Pointer, who has been on the city council since 2014, said he's been thinking about running for the commissionerposition for a while. "I've been working on this for about a year and a half," he said. He has been talking to community members and gathering support. "I was actually approached to run early on," he said. Pointer said he is using his time on the city council to get a feelforhow government meetings run and how government works. Davidson, who will be finishing up his second term as commissioner in 2016, originally ran for the position because ofhis interest in serving the community. His motivation hasn't changed, and he wants to continue with his work. "I ran at the outset because I've always been interested in public service and I enjoy the challenges and the work of trying to make our community a better place," Davidson said."I've always been interested in promoting economic development and attracting businesses here as well as to grow current businesses. We've got a great place to live here, and I want to make sure it continuesto be a greatplace." Mead, on the other

Pointer said he doesn't feel this is happening under the current board of commissioners. "If I'm honored enough to be elected by thecitizensof Union County, I can promise two things: I will always be truthful and transparent," he said. The candidate also expressed concern about Baum Industrial Park, which is set to receive more than $1 million from the stateforinfrastructure improvements. Pointer's view is that strategic planning has not been done for the park and citizens haven't beeninvolvedin theprocess. He also pointed to the mostly vacant La Grande Business Park.

This nice, clear picture originally came from a postcard owned by Jim Rygg, shows the railroad depot that was at lmbler. The branch line was established from La Grande to Elgin in the 1890s, so the depot was most likely built around that time. The exact date of this picture is tough to say, but with the horse and buggy, it was probably taken before 1920. It is not known if it was demolished or simply moved to another location to be used for some other purpose.

The honorary archway was the vision of Mike Mills, K-12 principal and high school athletic director. "I introduced the iarchwayl idea to the school board at the June board meeting," Mills said."It was approved,and then by word ofm outh, we did some fundraising through the alumni and raised about $5,000." Principal Mills had metal artists Dennis and Crystal Wagner of Valley Fabrication and Machine in Imbler in mind to design and manufacture the archway. In late July, Mills and Mark Lanman, who worked in school maintenance and transportation, approached the Wagners with a rough sketch of the proposed archway — a sketch that the Wagners still preserve for historical posterity. The Wagners looked it over and worked up a professional design which Mills then submitted to the Imbler Alumni Association. "In order to proceed and keep costs to a minimum and stay within the limits of the Imbler Alumni's fixed budget, Valley Fabrication and Machine agreed to donate a portion of their labor so the Lee Lowe Field archway could be built," Dennis Wagner said. The finished archway was 22-feet tall by 24-feet wide. It was so large that its fabrication had to be finished

ile the seed swap does not take place in the outerareas that thispage covers, it is a semi-annual eventthatdoestakeplace in Cove during the spring time and is organized by our very own Cove columnist, Cindy Edwards. The Seed Savers Swap will take place on Saturday at the Cook Memorial Library. The seed swap revolution has beengaining momentum, not just locally, but nationwide. Edwards has been hosting this event for the last three years. It's as much of an educationalevent as itis an event to swap seeds and prepare for next year's garden. Whether you're someone witha green thumb, or a black thumb, there is something for everyone who is interested in getting into gardening with non-hybrid seeds. The seed swaps are held twice a year, in early spring when people are starting to think about what they want to grow for the upcoming summer, and in the fall when gardeners can gather the seeds from their harvest. Edwards said the amount of peoplegathering together and trading heirloom vegetable seeds has increased overthe last severalyears. Heirloom seeds, which are not hybrids and have not been genetically modified and help strengthen the food chain, Edwards said. Any kind of seed is welcome, but, Edwards added, if the seed is a hybrid, she asks the information about the seedand itsoriginsbe specified at the swap. The event will run from 1 p.m. to4 p.m. on Saturday in the Community Room and theCook Memorial Library. Edwards will be available to giveexpert advicefor anyone who has questions. Stop byand meet other gardeners and share information and assistance. If you want to bring seeds to swap, make sure they are cleaned and clearly labeled, non-hybrid seeds.

All packaging supplies will be providing. No seeds orregistration is required to participate. Contact Rose at the library for more information at 541962-1339 or contact Cindy at cindy@ideassoc. com or

ROSEBURG — They listened while their classmates screamed. Then they heard the gunfire. eWe all took off running down the breezeway toward the library," Chris Mintz, one of the survivors of the Oct. 1 attack on the campus of Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, recounted in a Facebook post Friday. Mintz says the shooter showed no emotion as he shot Mintz, an Army veteran, five times. Mintz, who practices mixed martial arts, isconsidered a heroforhis actions that day, when he tried to block the gunman, Christopher Harper-Mercer, who killed nine people and wounded seven others before he took his own life. While trying to lead fellow students to safety, Mintz was wounded during therampage afterconfronting HarperMercer, 26, a student at the school. H arper-Mercer' smo tives stillarenot fully known, but law enforcement offtcersdescribed him as an angry,isolated man whose rage was fueled by an animus toward religion. He resented the way his life was unfolding. In a noteleftatthescene,H arper-Mercer described his life as a fragile mirror, easilyshattered. Mintz was shot five times.'The shots knocked me to the ground, and it felt like a truck hit me," he wrote in his Facebook account. He suffered a brokenfemur,tibia and fi bula and a shattered finger. He was shot in the left and right legs, the abdomen, a finger and a shoulder blade. The last bullet remains lodged in his back, he wrote. His account of the shooting chronicles in detail the events that unfolded between the first shot fired by the gunman until police officers arrived to assist in evacuating students. After a short exchange of gunfire with law enforcement offtcers, the gunman died from a self-inflicted wound. Mintz was in a writing class on the college campus about 10:30 a.m. Oct. 1 when he heard yelling from the classroom next door. "My teacher walked up to the door that connected our classroom and asked if everyone was OK, no one could tell what the yelling was," Mintz wrote. "The teacher knocked on the door, and

As he joined his fleeing classmates, he said, a counselor kept screaming thatsomeone needed to alertpeoplein the library. Mintz volunteered to do it, he said. "I ran through the book aisles while yelling and pushing the emergency exitsclosesttotheregistration open and ran through them and back down towards Snyder Hall," Mintz wrote."I continued yelling at them to get out of there to leave." Then, as everyone fled, Mintz went back inside Snyder Hall, where he found a frightened student and eventually came face to face with the gunman. "I could only see one of the students through the door, she was screaming and yelling and covered in blood, I motionedmy fi nger overmy mouth communicating to be quiet and motioned both my hands down for them to stay down," he wrote. "All of a sudden, the shooter opened the classroom doorbeside the door to my left, he leaned half ofhis torso out and started shooting as I turned toward him," Mintz said.

He described the shooter as nonchalant and emotionless, as ifhe were "playing a video game." As Mintz lay on the ground, felled by the first shots that hit him, the gunman shot him again, saying, "That's what you get for calling the cops." "He leaned further out of the classroom and tried to shoot my phone, I yelled, 'It's my kid's birthday, man,' he pointed the gun right at my face and then he retreated back into the class. I'm still confused at why he didn't shoot me again," Mintz said."I tried to push myselfback against the classroom door but I couldn't move at all. My legs felt like ice, like they didn't exist, until I tried to move. When I moved pain shot through me like a bomb going offo Once the gunman left and the gunfire subsided, a classmate and friend came to Mintz and knelt at his side. Mintz recalled the friend, whom he did not name in the post, was traumatized and crymg. "I think she tried to pray with me," he wrote.'The only thing I could say was, 'It's my son's birthday, please call my son's mom and tell her I can't pick him up from school today."' The police arrived, nearly confusing Mintz with the shooter until they were able to remove Mintz from the scene and take him to a hospital, where he has been recovering.

Raw sewage spills into river in Albany ALBANY — The city of Albany says its contractors accidentally last week sent about3,000 gallons ofraw sewage into the Willamette River downstream of Bowman Park. The city announced the spill on Friday. It happened Wednesday as workers were cleaning and doing maintenance on the sewer system in the area. The Democrat Herald reported that workers dislodged plugs in old sewer lines that drain into the river, releasingsewage forabout two to three hours. City wastewater superintendent Kristin Preston says crews immediately plugged theoldlinesto prevent more sewage from spilling. Signs have been posted to warn the publicofpotentialhazards of coming in contact with the water.

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Simply ingenious: cardboard boxes Take wooden boxes, for instance. Well, we weren't, but they came to mind as I sat in my chair looking at a group of cardboard boxes gathered around my feet. Iwas inthe process ofsorting papers for history research and suddenly realizedthat thecardboard was so much lighter to handle when loaded than wooden boxes that we used to have at this time of year filled with apples, pears,apricotsorotherfruits and vegetables. Many ofthe cardboard boxes even come with fitted lids or at least flaps that can be folded into the top ofthe box toprotectwhat isinside. Some of the boxes have colorful markings on the outside or informative lettering so there is no mistaking the contents or the supplier. There are even boxes specifically made in which to identify and stack for easy access when needed from storage. Who got the idea to form a box much like our old wooden boxes but made of so much lighter fibers and almost just as sturdy? I wondered about that. What a good idea even while I regretted the falling into disuse of our wonderful old boxes made of wood pieces put together in wood box factories and sold by the traincar loads, trucks or wagons hauling or shipping them across the country. Many farmers had them in their fields when picking produce and sold apples and peaches right from there in the w ooden boxes as partofthe sale. The cardboard boxes, then, I agree, are a good idea formed much on the same order and serve pretty much the same purpose, but so much less the weight. Some even have handholdgripholes on the ends foreasier carrying, and then there is the fact thatthey are more easily disposed of by just unfolding the glued or intertwined parts and laid out flat so they couldbe stored forlater usew ithout taking up so much space as did the old wooden boxes. Or, they could just go into the recycle bins that we didn't used to have. And that would be the end of that. But not so with the wooden boxes. They used to come as part of the purchase of whatever came inside and then you had to keep or dispose of them as you saw fit. Many were tossed into an empty space in a shed or out in the barn until a particular need came up for one of them, especially in the fall when you had your own crops to tend. Or, extras and broken-down ones were tossed onto a bonfire or hauled to the county dump. I must say, though, that they received kinder use than cardboard because they were so permanently made withwood instead ofcardboard that dissolves when wet. Most often work or household items found second storage in them. Our family used to have lots of themwhenIwas achild. Theycame every year filled with apples, pears, apricots, cabbages,corn,beetswith tops attached and so many other things. There were berry boxes, too, but they were called flats and were at least half as high and not as solidly made. They then had smaller boxes of alightermaterial forraspberries, strawberries, gooseberries,and other smaller produce and flower starts for the individual holders placed together into the flats. There were some things that seemed to come in buckets like cherries, string-beans, and, oh yes, huckleberries. SeeDorylPage 2B

omnicompetent for a bunch of reasons. It'sa one-pan operation, easy to make, straight-forward and involves minimal prep time. And unlike cookies, they don't need to be portioned, scooped out onto a pan and then baked in batches. "Everything goes into the oven at once, and you are done," says food blogger ("The Next Door Baker") and cookbook author (eReal Sweet") Shauna Server. Bars are easy to pack and don't require special or expensive containers. They also travel well. "It requires no fussing when it comes to serving because the topping is thick and won't drip, and it is easily sliceable," says Julia Collin Davison, executive food editor of the PBS show "America's Test Kitchen." A bar can be handheld, and so does not require a fork or spoon. Nor does it require a plate — a single napkin will suffice — and they can be eaten on the run. Itcan be sliced largerorsmal lerto accommodate any crowd size, Davison says, and they would be acceptable. But although the dessert bar has simplicity written all over it, things get long-winded when it comes to a definition. The obvious classic shape is what defines a bar for Jennifer McHenry, author of"Quick-Shop-&-Prep 5 Ingredient Baking" (Page Street Publishing Co.; $19.99l. Besides that, "a bar needs to have a soft texture, even if there's a bit of crunch on the top," says McHenry, who also writes the blog "Bake or Break." Davison says she would define bars by their rectangular shape, and that they are baked in rectangle or square pans. But she then

Jack's Favorite Blondies (see recipe on Page 2B)

adds that they could be cut in the shape of squares or diamonds, and don't necessarily have to be baked. The definition is straightforward for mystery novelist Diane Mott Davidson, who recently came out with a cookbook — "Goldy's Kitchen.""Bars are simply cookies made in a baking pan," she says. In cookbooks and food blogs, bars often share the chapter with brownies, which are considered the ultimate bar. But since brownies often overshadow other bars, we have left them for another conversation at another time. Dessert bars could be chewy, fruity, nutty or chocolate-y, and come in lots of varieties — cookie dough bars; blondies, aka white brownies, which are thick and iconic with their crusty edges and chewy insides; cheesecake bars; fruit bars such as Apple Crumb Bars orCranberry Pear Bars;fudge bars such as Oatmeal Fudge Bars or Toffee Bars; layered bars such as Chocolate-Coconut Bars or a Three Layer Raspberry Bars; and no-bake bars such as Peanut ButterPretzel Bars orvariations ofRice KrispiesTreats.

1905. The planing mill and box factory were destroyed and the engine room completely gutted. The Eastern Oregon Observer reported that the fire was supposed to have originated in the box factory but the Perry Fire Department saved the mill from burning. Nearing the end of April that year, the Grande Ronde Lumber Co. had almost completed building the new planing and box factory, but I don't know if or how much longer it was an employer. So much more to tell, to

research, and remember. No, I don't throw away my wooden boxes. Just put them back in storage when I need to look at them again and feel once again in order to put something about them on paper that can't be explained. I guess you had to be there, experience itfor yourself. In the meantime, back to my cardboard boxes of convenience. I have work to do. Reach Lory at jkstunanOeoni.com

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are oncourse fora collision. There once was mutual public deference. But that has eroded as the Florida Republicans battling for the presidential nomination have come to see the other as the main threat to lofty ambitions: Bush claims the party establishment's mantle, Rubio wants to be the party's fresh national face. Bush now routinely compares Rubio's background to Barack Obama's before the Democrat became president. Rubio says it's "time to turn thepage,"a reference that strikes as hard at Bush's long family legacy as it does at Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. The rise of GOP outsiders such as Donald Trump and Ben Carson has increased the stakes for Bush and Rubio as they try to become the mainstream alternative. Whoever wins this internal

Though describing Obama, it's a slight to Rubio. He delivers a compelling story about his parents' flight from Cuba and his working class background, but he has been in the Senate less than five years and has missed much of its business this year while campaigning for president. Evidence of the tension between the Florida politicians was on display Thursday when Rubio's campaign, minutes after the Bush organization announced raising $13.4 million in the last quarter, boasted it had more cash on hand. Rubio reported having nearly $11 million in his coffers compared with Bush's $10 million. But about

contest will show whether experienceorfresh leadership is the bigger priority for GOP centrists. From Bush, there's a sense of urgency in his contention that Rubio, in his first Senate term, has not proved his leadershipcredentials.The ex-governor and his team arefrustrated,too,thatthis shortcoming they attribute to Rubio has not become more of a liability for him. It's partofthem antra Bush has repeated since the Republicans' second debate in California a month ago, when Rubio won praise for staying above the fray. He has since drawn nearly even with Bush in national polls, although both remain in the high single digits. rWe'vegota president that the American people supportedbased on the fact that he was an eloquent guy," Bush said in Iowa last week. "And he had nothing in his background that would suggest he could lead."

The Mounties appeared on the verge of icing the win. Quarterback Zach Bartlow's 9-yard rush set Eastern up with a second-and-1 on its own 37-yard line leading 23-22 with 2:25 to go. But running back Jace Billingsley was stuffed for a two-yard loss on second down, and following a timeout, Bartlow's pass to Billingsley only netted a yard.That brought up fourth down SeeStunner IPage 2C

We put them on their heels right &om the start. il knew) if we could get them to have to throw the ball, we've got pretty good defensive backs, too. That was the game plan, and it worked." The Cougars racked up 470 rushing yards as a team. Besides Allen's big day, Chandler Burns added 81 yards on nine carries and a score, and Gus Ramsden totaled 52 yards and two touchdowns. On the flip side, Powder Valley was limited to 172 yards on offense, with 83 of those coming on Seth Dixon's touchdown pass to Tanner Eubanks in the game's final two minutes. "It's sad that it's the last game iat home), but it's definitely a good note to end on," said senior Koby Frye, who also scored two touchdowns on 56 yards rushing."Everybody came out with a mentality to just play football and put 110 percent into every single play." The first play &om scrimmage was a signal of what was to come, or an omen, depending on what side of the field you were on. Allen took the handofFand raced 42 yards down the left side to set up the Cougars inside the Badgers'10-yard line. Two plays later, Frye busted three yards up the middle for a touchdown, and Allen converted the 2-point conversion for an 8-0 lead 1:04into the game.

I know it's been a long time, but it's for them. I'm so happy for them." But the start was the worst anyone in the Tigers' corner could have imagined, as a team who has taken care of the ball well for most of the season coughed it up on its first two possessions. Peasley was picked ofFon the game's third play and Jimenez fumbled on La Grande's second possession. aWe definitely had to battle for this game," Jimenez said.

key in Tigers' win T

he La Grande football team has dealt with some adversity during the 2015footballseason,but none to the extent that the Tigers faced Friday in Baker City. Two early turnovers by a usually sure-handed team allowed two Bulldog touchdowns, and La Grande was immediately staring at a 13-0defi cit— itslargest of the season. The team kept its composure, shook ofF the poor start and used a 50-8 run as it went on to blast Baker 5027 Friday night and assume the top spot in the Greater Oregon League with one week to play. The Tigers turned the game around by being able to quickly put the rough startin therearview mirror. ''What we've done all year is we always say, 'Next play,' and I emphasizebefore the game that there are going to be ups and there are going to be downs," head coach Harold Shannon said. "And they've experienced that in almost every game we've played. So the key is to play though it. You know things are going to go bad, but you know what you're capable of, so that's what you play to." Several players had to look to that"next play" and weather the early storm. Andrew Peasley threw two interceptions. Ray Jimenez lost two fumbles. The defensegotofFto a slow start. But La Grande showed what it was capable of, not only in how quickly it erased the early deficit — as it went from one play to the next — but also in how the Tigers put the game out of reach. La Grande at one point led 50-21 early in the fourth quarter. "I just talked to them iandl I told them, 'It's my

lead. Linebacker David Jackman, who was one of several defenders who wreaked havoc for La Grande, said when the offense finally started clicking, it helped fuelthe defense to aid its turnaround. "Once we got the momentum going on offense, then the defense started getting excitedand itm ade itso much better for everybody," he said. That defense ended up forcing six turnovers, including three during a decisive third quarterthat saw La Grande stretch the leadfrom 21-13 to 43-21. Shannon really wasn't surprised by the team's responsetotheearlytrial, or in how it asserted itself to show it' sa forcetobereckoned with in the GOL. "Really it just came down to, 'Do you believe ithat you're a better teaml?'And they do," he said."I knew it was going to happen. I knew in my gut, eventually, it was going to happen.

They turned the ball over on downs near midfield, and on Wallowa's second play of the ensuing drive, Frye scored on a 41-yard burst up the middle. Allen's 2-point conversion pushed the lead to 16-0 with 8:16 remaining in the first quarter. Following another Badgers' turnover on downs, Powder Valley was on the brink of forcing a Wallowa punt after Hudson Cole had a pair of tackles for loss. But on third-and-long, Allen reeled ofF an 80-yard scoring run, and Frye's 2-point conversion made it 24-0 with 4:23 left in the first. Powder Valley was forced to punt on the next drive following a sack on third down by Wallowa's Ethan Burns, one of four on the day for the Cougars. Allen's 48-yard touchdown burst, plus Frye's 2-pointconversion,stretched thelead to

32-0 in the closing minutes of the first quarter. Following Patrick Ritthaler's sack of Dixon for a safety toward the beginning of the second quarter and a Wallowa punt, Allen picked ofF Dixon's pass attempt and returned it 30 yards. That turnover set up Ramsden's 2-yard scoringrun for a40-0 lead with 2:53 remaining, which was the margin at halftime. The Badgers would get on the board just over a minute into the third quarter on Cole's 3-yard touchdown run, but Wallowa countered with Allen's 60-yard score on the ensuing play &om scrimmage to make it 48-6.

it is the Baker mystique. They are not used to beating Baker. So it was kind of like a hump we had to get over." The Tigersturned thegame around to get over that hump in a big way. La Grande clawed its way into the lead by the first quarter's end, cutting the deficit to six on a 22-yard run by Jimenez, then going ahead for good on a wild sequence of plays. Peasley hit Jacobs for 82 yards on a deep ball to the Baker 9-yard line but then lost 28 yards tracking down a high snap. A 19-yard pass to Alec Cranford moved the Tigers within striking distance, then the duo hooked up two plays laterforthego-ahead score. Peasley took the snap, broke away from a potential sack, rolled left, eluded another Bulldog defender, then rolled backrightand lofted a passto theend zone into Cranford's waiting arms fora 14-13 lead with 2:15 togoin the quarter. A 6-yard run by Jimenez in the second quarter pushed the lead to 21-13 at halftime. A big third quarter, led by

Jacobs both on offense and defense, put the game out of reach. The junior wide receiver hauled in two ofhis three scoring catches, including a 33-yard diving grab in the back of the end zone on fourth-and-17. He also recovered a Marcus Plumley fumble and intercepted a Brad Zemmer pass — two of the three turnovers the Tigers forced in the decisive quarter. 'They're a great outfit," Baker head coach Dave Johnson said."They played very well tonight. They scored 50 points — that's aprettyim pressivedeal.W e thought we had a good enough defense, but they made plays." Jacobs finished with a game-high 149 yards receiving while Peasley passed for 241 yards. Zemmer passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns for Baker but was also intercepted four times. Brandon Stairs went for a team-high 94 receiving yards,and Plumley ran for44 yards.
