BEND — A multiagency inquiry into allegations that an Oregon State Police forensic analyst tampered with evidence at the agency's Bend crime lab grew last week to include evidence in cases the analyst wasn't assignedto and evidence processed during her employment at another lab.

Nika Larsen, 35, a forensic analyst with the agency since 2007, has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation into the allegations by Oregon State Police, announced last month.

Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel notified local defense attorneys Wednesdayhisoffi ce m ay need to expand its inquiry to include cases Larsen wasn't assigned to.

Larsen had worked at the Bend lab since 2012.

Hummel has released a list of active and closedcases— more than 500 total— in Deschutes County that include evidence that was submitted to the lab for analysis by Larsen. State police maintain the ongoing SeeInquiry / Page5A

The major crops grown in this area — onions, sugar beets, mint,seed — are grown by farmers on both sidesoftheborder and the industries are closely linked.

An onion-processing facility in Parma, Idaho, for example, uses onions from farmers in both states, and sugar beets grown in Malheur County end up at a processing facility in Nampa, Idaho. cwith the kind of agri-

Bendman,envirsnmentallawyerschallenge B2Hline

By Jayson Jacoby WesCom News Service

BAKER CITY — A Bend man has enli sted the aid ofa group of environmental lawyers in his campaign to prevent Idaho Power Company &om buildinga power line across the Oregon Trail just east of Baker City.

Gail Carbiener, 81, lives in Bend.

But he has spent quite a lot of time walking the route of the Oregon Trail not just in Baker County but across the West.

"I've walked every single solitary step of that trail, more than once," Carbiener said.

His concernis that Idaho POwer's proposed Boanhnan-to-Hemingway 500-kilovolt power line, with towers up to 195 feet high, would degrade the views of and fiom, the Oregon Trail.

'The chance to go out and see the same things that immigrants saw — you can still do thatin a lot of places," Carbiener said.

But not, he contends, if there's a power line in the foreground or background.

Carbiener, who is a member ofboth the Oregon-California Trails Association and an ex officio member of Oregon's Historic Trails Advisory Committee, has actively opposed the B2H project, and in particular Idaho Power'spreferred

route that passes near the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center about five miles east of Baker City.

But rather than advocate only for alternate routes that would have a lesser effect on the Oregon Trail, he decided to question whether Idaho Power has even justified the need for a new power transmission line.

To that end, Carbiener asked the Western Law Environmental Center, and specifically its Eugene oSce, for help.

John Mellgren, a stafF attorney at that oSce, responded by writing a 31-page comment to the BLM, which is the lead federal agency in studying the potential environmentaleffectsofthe B2H project.

The comment, which responded to the BLM's draft environmental impact statement iDEISl for the B2H project, was submitted on behalf of Carbiener, the OregonCalifornia Trails Association, the Hells Canyon Preservation Council in LaGrande, Oregon Wild and WildEarth Guardians.

Idaho Power contends that the B2H line, which would run between Boardman, which is west of Hermiston, and the Hemingway substation near Melba, Idaho, would: • "Enable transportation oflowcost energy &om various generation sources in the Northwest and In-

"Merely assuming that the Project will provide additional electrical load capacity between the Paci fic Northwest and the Intermountain region o f southwestern Idaho without actually determining whether or not thereis a needfor such additional electrical load capacity violates NEPA." — Attomey John Mellgren's comment to the BLM on the B2H Project

termountain West to serve homes, farms and businesses in both regions, including allowing excess wind generation to flow throughout the regions to where it is needed."

• "Improve system reliability and reduce constraints on the regional transmission system as demand for energy continues to grow."

• "Connect the Intermountain West with the Northwest power grid to meet seasonal energy demands."

Mellyen disputes Idaho Power's claims in his comment to the BLM, writing that Merely assuming that the Pmject will provide additional electrical load capacitybetween the Pacific Northwest and the Intermountain region of southwestern Idaho without actually deternIining whether or not thereisaneedforsuch additionalelectrical load capacityviolates NEPA," Mellgren also argues that the BLM and IdahoPower didn'tconsider a sIdfIcient range of alternatives in the DEIS, among them the possibility ofbuilding the power line

in theInterstate84 corridor,and burying the line in some areas.

That route would largely alleviate Carbiener's and others' concerns about how the power line could affect the Oregon Trail.

Carbiener said he believes "there's a good chance" that the B2H line won't be built.

Idaho Power doesn't expect the power line to be finished before 2021.

Carbiener said his optimism is based in part on another major power transmission line that was proposedbut latercanceled.

That was the 215-mile Cascade Crossing line between Boardman and Salem, proposed by Portland General Electric and the Bonneville Power Administration in 2009.

The agencies canceled the project in 2013, citing changes in demand for the movement of electricity across the grid in the West.

Several groups had opposed Cascade Crossing because it would have been built through the Mount

IfB2H isapproved,Carbiener predicts lawsuits will be filed challenging the project.

"It's a shame it'sgotto gothat way," he said.

In the meantime he is urging the BLM to write a supplemental draft

yAI)EP Fglf1ILIE5 In terms of good ideas, the concept spearheaded by the Veterans'Administration to push primary health care to local communities stands out.

The blueprint is possible through the Veterans' Access, Choice and Accountability Act, ratified by Congress in 2014, and the idea is to allow veterans that qualify to acquire health care locally. The idea is a good one because, in the past, veterans in remote areas — such as Eastern Oregon — faced the prospect of traveling to Portland, Walla Walla, Washington, Spokane, Washington, or Boise, Idaho, to receive care.

A story in this newspaper recently put a light on how the new paradigm impacts the Johnathan.

Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla. Under threat of closure in 2004, the medical center stopped much of its inpatient hospital care.

Instead the focus became the formation of access points across the area. Currently the Walla Walla VA operates five community-based outpatient clinics — including on in La Grande — to service veterans. Instead of simply being a provider, the VA, through the program, also purchases care for vets in small townships across our remote region.

The idea married so closely to commonsense it is difficult, at first, to grasps its implications. Yet it is a conceptthatdeserves a greatdealofpraise.The VA has spent a good share of the past few years highlighted in the media for things that are going wrong. This program is clearly an example of what can be done right.

There are more than 300,000 veterans living in Oregon and about 240,000 of them are combat veterans. Of those, 139,000 are between the ages of 68 and 84. Those numbers tell us that the need for veteran's health care isn't going to shrink or go away. In fact, the cost of the recent decade-long w ar on terror— in terms ofdollarstocarefor our veterans — will balloon in the future.

So a program that pushes health care down to the lowest possible level — small towns scattered across Oregon's heartland — makes a tremendous amount of sense. Forcing an injured, ill or aging veteran to endure two, three of four hour highway trips to get to a VA medical center in a city such as Boise or Spokane just isn't practical. The plight of our veterans in their attempt to acquire healthcare is one we can't simply walk away fiom. Now, it appearsasifone m ajorobstacle— distance — for our veterans to receive healthcare is not as difficult as it once was. Which, all things considered, is good news not only for our veterans but for our region as well.

Your views Van Blaricom: BaNed by Obama's release of prisoners To the Editor: President Obama is so quick to respond to the recent shooting in Oregon, and no doubt he has compassion for the innocent victims and their relatives as any human being has, but what about the young lady who died in her father's arms after being shot in San Francisco by an illegal felon who had been deported five times? Her parents never even got a phone call &om the White House.

Now I read in the Observer about the many potentially dangerous prisoners thatarebeingreleased long before their sentences are over. Most of them have to do with drug dealing, which many liberals believe are non-violent crimes.

If they are non-violent, why do all those young black youths in Chicago kill each other?

Ifour president isso upsetoverthe Oregon killings, why did he release several thousand illegal alien prisoners from jail a few months ago? These felons were locked up for robbery, rape and murder.

Even though they may not kill schoolchildren, they kill and rob hundreds of other innocent people. But all of these illegal aliens are potential future voters forhisparty tokeep those dreadful conservativesoutofoffice.

That seems like a terrible accusation, but why else did he release them? And why do lawful gun owners in the NRA get the blame for these mentally deranged killers and lawless immigrants? The NRA is the first organization that wants to keep people locked up who commit crimes with guns, and there are already laws to keep criminals and mental cases from possessing firearms. The more these types are running around in our country, the more it is necessary for law-abidingcitizens to keep and bear arms.

Your editorial states that a national dialogueisneeded.We have been havinga national dialogue for years. We talk about the hundreds of people in the United States who are killed or wounded every week by people using guns. We have talked about University of Texas 1966, Thurston High School 1998, Columbine High School 1999, Virginia Tech 2007, Fort Hood 2009, Tucson 2011, Aurora 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School 2012, Washington Naval Yard 2013, MotherEmanuelAME Church 2015 and so many others. And now we will talk about Umpqua Community College.

We need to have a national dialogue, but we need to do more than talk. Here are five suggestions: • Repeal laws that prevent the federal government &om funding research on gun violence.

• Repeal laws that give gun manufacturers and dealers immunity from being sued.

• Adopt federal legislation requiring universal background checks. Provide adequate funding so that databases are completeand checks can becompleted within 72 hours.

• Elect public officials who will act, not stand in the way of action.

• Gun owners can resign from the NRA and support organizations that advocateresponsibleownership and use of firearms such as Gabby Giffords' Americans for Responsible Solutions.

Our national epidemic of gun violence will not be cured overnight. We can't use that as an excuse to do nothing by talk.

The right to bear arms is one of many rights guaranteed by our Constitution.

It should not be singled out and worshipped as "sacred."

DISTRICT Continued from Page1A District Superintendent Larry Glaze.

This is the third straight year enrollment has risen in the district.

The latest figures are numbers the school district has submitted to the Oregon Department of Education, which the state will use when determininghow much fundingthe La Grande School District will receive.

Enrollment has a major impact on school funding because school districts receive

about $6,000 per student from thestate.

All of the district's growth can be traced to enrollment increases at its high school and middle school. Enrollment atLa Grande High School is 650, up 39 from a year ago, and the student count at La Grande Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8, is 529, up 21.

This is the middle school's highest enrollment in at least 13 years, said Kyle McKinney, LMS principal. McKinney came to LMS 13 years ago as its assistant principal when the school had just 325 students.

McKinney said he likes overseeinga schoolthatis more than 200 students bigger than when he started.

Steps taken to address the space issue include the conversionofthe old staff lounge on the first floor into a classroom. Class sizes now average29 to 30 students in seventh and eighth grade, and 28 for sixth grade.

McKinney said that LMS can no longer conduct all-

Overall, elementary school enrollment is 1,057 students in kindergartenthrough fi fth grade, down 10 from a year ago. Central remains the largestgrade schoolwith 366 students, up 16 from a year ago. Greenwood Elementary School is second with 326 students, up 50; Island City Elementary has 257 students, down one student from a year ago; and Willow Elementary, a kindergartenonly school, has 108 students, 60 fewer than a year ago.

The bulk of Willow's drop reflects the loss of students living in the Greenwood Elementary attendance area.

These students now all attend Greenwood. Previously all of the school district's kindergarten students attended Willow. Due to the new full-day kindergarten schedule, the school district will be moving all kindergarten students to their neighborhood schools over the next several years.

District-wide kindergarten enrollment is 152 students, up four from the start of the school year but down 10 from a year ago.

Ward said that's a reflectionofthe idea that"there is no such thing as a'routine' traffic stop."

'Theinformation we have iwhen responding to a call) is always without exception incomplete and inaccurate," he said.

W ard said that aspolice officer ambushes become more common nationwide, sheriff's deputies must be abletoreact quickly and appropriately.

But not all of the training scenariosinvolveuseofforce. aWe don't want every situationtobe a shootscenario becauseofthe message it sends,"Ward said.

Rasmussen noted that oftentimesthejob involves simply talking to people. ''When somebody's upset, we have to talk to them to calm themdown and fi nd solutions," he said.

After each scenario, the group goes over what happened and what could have been done better.

"Don'tbe afraid to m ove around and get a good look in the car," Sgt. Miller noted after one scenario, wherein the driver in a traffic stop had a gun in the passenger seat and needed to be checked to ensure he was not a felon in possession of a firearm.

Ward said the time is used forself-critique and to brainstorm other ways to react. aWe want them to explain to us their thought process," he said."No officer or team ofoffi cerswillreacttoa particular situation the same."

For example, in the courthouse shooting scenario, the deputy transporting the inmate to the courthouse could either stay with the inmate downstairs to wait for backup, or he could take the inmate out of the building and back to the jail or a patrol vehicle.

"I think it's excellent training for the sherifFs office and whoever undertakes it," he sald.

Neumann said he was particularly struck by the deputies' courteous manners, even as they were called names during the training.

"He still said 'sir,"' he said of one deputy.

Ward said the rude comments during simulation training are all part of the offic ers'jobs. cWe select them for their ability to stay calm and not take the bait," he said.

Neumann lamented, though, that the office can't do the training more frequently.

The sheriff's officials agreed.

Antell taught students how to analyze fish by providing them with actual perch that they dissected while working in teams.

She also taught students about the stream environment fish need and then had them work at a stream table station provided by Grande Ronde Model Watershed. The station was filled with a sand-type material and had a water source, and was used by studentstocreate small streams that had the elements fish need to thrive.

"It is the cultural norm for girls not to be analytical,"Antell said.

Students from as far away as Coos Bay, Ontario, Hermiston and Boardman attended Girls in Science Saturday.Many were brought to EOU by their teachers, said Antell, who added thatthey deserved a lotofcreditfor making the effort to get their students to EOU. Girls in Science operates on a threeyear rotation so that a student who attends the program three years in a row will not solve the same mystery twice.

The rotation begins with a murder mystery involving a forensic investigation, then a health-related mystery, followed by environmental one.

johnsonFamilyFruitsreiuvenatesorchard • Fifty-year-old family orchard gets revitalized with new trees after weather afI'ected production of crops

By Tiish Yerges ForThe Observer

Twin brothers Mark and Mike Johnson are co-owners of Summerville's Johnson Family Fruits and this fall, they are in the process of cutting down and rejuvenating a 50-year-ol d orchard block thattraces back to their grandparents' days.

Their grandparents, Paul and Ruth Johnson, planted that orchard along Courtney Lane in the mid 1960s.

"I remember hoeing around those Royal Anne cherry frees when they were only thin sticks," said Mark Johnson, who has worked for wages on his grandparents'fruit farm since sixth grade.'This block was planted with 30-feet by 30-feet spacing and the rows were 16-to-18-feetapart.

It took an hour to prune just one of these frees."

The orchard had its productive years, but the changing weather has been a factor in the demise of the orchard.

"Winters aren't as cold, and last year we had an early spring bloom in April instead of May," Johnson said.

Then there was an unexpected freeze in rural Summerville right when the frees were in bloom.

'The sap level was high and the freeze damaged them," Johnson said. '%e lostabout 20 percent ofour trees."

Likeothercrops,fruittreesdon't produce forever. They have to be torn out and replanted at some stage.At 50yearsofage,these gnarly trees have rotted on the inside, and their day has come.

"In the last 20 years, we've gotten only two or three crops off this block," Johnson said.'%e don't really get anything out of it."

The Johnsons are cutting down the dead cherry trees in this fouracre block, and they will be replanting more new trees to take their place. As the new, young frees are growing, the Johnsons will continue their tradition of selling tasty fruits each summer to area residents and home canners. The transition will happen without any impact on customer serviceorthevariety offruits they offer.

"No one will even know the difference in our yields," Johnson said.

"This block didn't produce much anyway, and we've been selling from our other orchards all along. What we're going to do is cut down all the old cherry frees in this block and replantin peaches and apples."

e empire of Rome was not built in day; many obstacles stood in the way of expansion before it grew into its fullness.

Like Rome, Elgin has overcome its shareofchallenges too, both good and bad, to become the community it is today.

The 'Rails with Trails' project is an example of one such endeavor. Fresh in its infancy, the project is an illustration ofhow the benefits can outweigh opposition, and slowly grow to become a stunning success and benefit for all in our community.

The 63-mile non-motorized trail will parallel the rail line from Elgin to Joseph. This will be a unique path in our area.

A website, wwwjosephbranchtrail.org, details information about the proposed trail, including maps, videos, and other beneficial information.

Local businesses, community members and others could draw on this economic vein, because Oregon's bicycle-related tourism alone contributes as much as $400 million ior about $1.2 million per dayl to the state's economy.

Imagine the possibilities and revenues that our local businesses and economy

Pumpkin shoppers Trish Wallace (left) and Rhonda McLaughlin, both of La Grande, picked a variety of pumpkins at Johnson Family Fruits last Saturday. Wallace bought one of the "breast cancer pink" varieties where part of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Society. She also chose a large orange variety with "warts" and said, "I like how it looks." For 'wart' it's worth, both customers went home happy.

The Joseph Branch Trail Consortium group has been working diligently to incorporate all community members, including landowners, business owners and organizations to learn more.

The Oregonian reported that Yellow Nose wandered through an open gate Saturday and spent time exploring Portland's Forest Park before falling asleep on the roadside.

Reed Gleason, who owns the oryx herd, spent Saturday night in the woods monitoring Yellow Nose. He tried to entice the animal with grain, but it wasn't interested.

Gleason says Yellow Nose didn't pose any danger to parkvisitorsaslong ashe wasn't disturbed.

It took three tranquilizer darts to subdue the oryx Sunday.

DORY'S DIARY

HappyHalloween

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

OU t One day, having nothing in mind to w rite about,Idecided toreturn to an earlier question to which I had received no answer.

My mind likes to play with facts like that. Not that I will remember or put the answer to use, but just a desire to quell my curiosity.

The question was: "Is ice cream, in its frozen state, considered fluid-dairy?"

This is the way I look at it, but I'm open to other opinions: Dairy products are "fluid" when they flow in a stream like milk and cream from pints, quarts, and gallons or coming fresh from the cow. Even buttermilk would qualify.

Now, would butter be qualified as a"fluid-dairy" product when it is in a brick state? Same with ice cream when it's frozen. When they melt into a liquid stream they surely could both qualify, such as when it is a puddle of melted butter in the frying pan under heat and ice cream in a similar puddle when left in a warm atmosphere, both without the benefit of freezer cold.

There are those who have experienced dipping ice cream from the cartonand forgetting to replacethe bulk back in the freezer only to find its remains on the kitchen counter, certainly reverted to its original form of being"fluid."

But that brings up another question.

Were the ingredients of milk and cream, sugar and perhaps eggs combined into a liquid declared to be fluid-dairy?

Perhaps so.

The Meringue Ghosts were easy to make but fragile once baked. I have never attempted meringue before and I have to say I really don't get it. I found them tricky to store even though I had them in a sealed container they became a bit sticky. The eggs eyes are just fun and easy. Who doesn't love deviled eggs? For the pumpkin, thiswas a super fun dish to make and eat. The trickiest part is to make sure you have a large enough pumpkin to fit a bowl onto the top. I used a large cereal bowl

Way back in the spring or early summer I was lamenting that I couldn't find my favorite fuchsia, which is a June Bride. I was so fortunate to receive a contact from Susanna Ogston, who said she went to Baker City to get some and gave me the information about the place.

A call yielded no results, so Susanna insisted she give me one of the three she had bought in little 4-inch pots.

I was thrilled and also overwhelmed that she would share with me. When I arrived at her lovely home she literally dug a well-established fuchsia out of a big pot of mixed flowers. I felt guilty, but she insisted.

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a marked day to remember family and loved ones who have died. This celebration takes part throughout Mexico as a public holiday.

Before the Spanish colonized Mexico in the 16th century it was celebrated at the beginning of summer. Since then it has been moved to Oct. 31-Nov.2.This coincides with the Roman Catholic festival All Saints Eve and All Saints Day. This tradition is celebrated by building private altars to honor the deceased.

Ihad never made Day ofthe Dead cookies, but when I came across these beautiful festive treats I had to try them. The cookies are crunchy, spicy and just plain delicious.

This is a process of many steps. Once you make the dough you need to chill it in two separate disks for two hours. You then roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut the cookies placing them on a baking sheet and

freeze them for 15 minutes just before baking.

Bake the cookies then let them cool.

When putting the first layer of icing on you allow the icing to dry for 24 hours before you add thefaces.Iencourage you to decorate these cookies in a group, which is where the fun is. I used homemade icing, store bought icing, and candies in many different shapes, sizesand colors.Themost important partof this process is to have fun and to try not to eat them before you can share them.

Turn hard-boiled eggs into these creepy "eyes."

Butter the baking sheet. In a small mixing bowl stir the baking soda and vanilla until the soda dissolves then set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon, cayenne and salt. In a medium-sized saucepan, on medium-low heat, stir together sugar, /2 cup water, corn syrup, and "/4 cup butter until butter is melted and sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the heat to medium high and boil, stirring often, until it turns a deep amber and measures 335 degrees to 340 degrees on a candy thermometer, about12 minutes.

Remove the mixture from heat and gently stir in vanilla and cinnamon mixtures, be careful they will bubble up. Add the pumpkin seeds and stir them in, then pour onto the baking sheet. Working quickly, use a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly spread and fill pan. Break up the chocolate and set on top of the brittle and smooth it over as it melts. Allow brittle to cool at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes. To release the brittle from the pan you can gently twist the pan or use a wooden spoon to break up into chunks. You can store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Howlowshouldrefrigerator goP ByAlan J. Heavens

Q

: I have a problem with refrigerators.

This rs the second refrigerator in a month that the storehas delivered.Now I am waiting for a new control, and I guess they will install it next Wednesday.

Problem: It won't cool below 38 degrees, and the freezerdoesn'tgetdown to 0. Is this now the standard?Ifso,a lotofpeople aregoing to beeating a lot

set for that, but the range should be there. : Standards are ypically set by the government, hence the Department of Energy and the dishwasher rules I wrote about a few weeks

back.

The Food and Drug Administration's website, however, has this about temperature: "Keep your appliances at theproper temperaofspoiled food. tures.Keep the refrigIexpectarefrigeratorto eratortemperature at get down below 33 degrees or below 40 degrees F (4 ifsodesired and the degrees C). The freezer freezerto gettonegative-5 temperature should be degrees, ifdesired.Not 0 degree F (minus 18 that it would always be degrees C). Check tem-

peratures periodically. Appliance thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive."

If the standard had been changed, the FDA's caveats would be pointless.

I looked at the Sub-Zero/ Wolf website, because I considerthat brand to be the goldstandard ofrefrigeration — which means I can't afford one.

It says the temperature range in a Sub-Zero with an electronic control panel is 34 degrees to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 7 degrees Celsius) in the refrigerator and minus-5 to 5 degrees F (minus-20 to minus-15 Celcius) in

My whole family in two dif ferent stateshad been huntingformy favorite fuchsia to no avail and right here in La Grande was a kind woman willing to give me one ofhers. Susanna later sent an email saying the deer were very fond of eating on the fuchsias she had left. To me that sounded like a dreadful invasion on such a lovely plant, but deerdon'tconsiderthat.

Anyway, there are so many good people out there and it is wonderful we can share our flowers.

Thank you, Susanna!

Continued from Page 1B But, what happens when the same ingredients are frozenintoa solid mass like that in an ice cream cone or a brick in quarts, gallons or even other handheld individual treats?

We can consider this.

Dairy products, like milk, once removed from the cow, must be kept cool under refrigeration of some kind or they will spoil and sour, curdle. Cooled to drink

the freezer.

It also suggests that anything below 0 degrees in a freezer would be overkill, but if you prefer lower — well, that's your call.

Lemons do exist outside the produce section of the supermarket. Anything that is produced by human beings is subject to error, and that goes especially for major appliances.

Perhaps you should look for something other than the brand you seem to be struggling with.

For the cookies 2 Cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting /2Teaspoon kosher salt /2Teaspoon ground cinnamon "/4Teaspoon baking powder "/4Teaspoon chile powder 1"/2 Sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 2Tablespoons cold non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening 2/3 Cup granulated sugar 1 Large egg 1Teaspoon vanilla extract 2 Ounces dark chocolate (60 percent to 72 percent cacao), melted and cooled

For the decorating icing 3 Cups confectioners' sugar 2 Large egg whites 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Various food gels and candies You can use an oval cookie cutter and flatten one side that would be the chin or order a skull or day of the dead cookie cutter online. I ordered my cutter from Jet.com (they do not charge delivery).

For the cookies In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and chile powder and set aside. In the bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer beat the butter and shortening together on medium speed until just combined. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, add the egg and vanilla, and beat until just combined. Add the melted and cooled chocolate and beat until uniform in color. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, add half the flour mixture, and beat for15 seconds.

Scrape down the bowl again and then add the remaining flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.

Work quickly, the dough will be sticky, shape the dough into two disks. Use flour on your hands to help the process. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Working with one disk at a time, leave the other in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a lightly floured work surface roll out the dough to "/2-inch thick, flipping as you roll. Cut the cookies and place on a baking sheet, then put into the freezer for about15 minutes. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking time, until the tops of the cookies look set and are just beginning to appear dry. Remove and place on a cooling rack to cool.

To ice the cookies Combine 3"/2 cups confectioners' sugar and the cream of tartar into a sifter and sift, then place in a Kitchen Aid. Slowly increase the speed to medium, add the egg whites and lemon juice, and mix until the icing is completely smooth. The texture should be a shiny glaze thin enough to pour. Add additional egg whites if the mixture is too thick. If the mixture is too thin, add the additional sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the icing into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (No. 3). Outline each of the cookies with the icing, then wait 15 minutes for the outlines to harden. Then fill in the icing within the outline.You should find that you will not need as much icing as you may think. This process is called flooding.

To decorate After 24 hours of letting the first icing dry. Combine the confectioners' sugar with the egg whites and 1 teaspoon lemon juice and beat on low to medium-low speed until the icing is completely smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. A peak in the icing should be created when the paddle is lifted from the mix. Make any adjustments to the consistency by adding "/2teaspoon more egg whites or lemon juice at a time to thin the icing, or 1 teaspoon more confectioners' sugar at a time to thicken the icing. Divide the icing up into small bowls and add food coloring to get your desired color, making sure to keep a batch of white. Use a pastry bag with the No. 1 tip and have fun, the cookies can be kept in an airtight container in a cool and dry environment for 3 to 5 days. Do not wrap them in plastic wrap.

warmed enough to become a fluid once again.

Is therea difference, then, between the two forms — liquid and solid?

Are they both fluid-dairy or are they considered in separate states when one flows and the other doesn't?

Is an ice cream bar a solid or fluid?

Now this may not be the most important trivial question to face us each

today,but itdoes seem to give us food for thought and maybe does deserve some consideration when based on a 10-percent discount depending on the answer.

I would like to hear from others who may struggle with just such wonder and could help me put my questiontorest.

Come to think of it, a milkshake is probably fluid enough to come through a straw unless thick enough to eat with a spoon.

Hmmm! That sounds good. I think I'll go have one while I'm considering these bigger questions in life.

Concealed guns survey

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press

A gun-conlrol organization backed by billionaire Michael Bloomberg that enlists motherstospeak outagainstgun violence is racking up some m odest victoriesaround the U.S., employing the state-bystate strategy used so effectively to fight drunken driving and expand gay rights.

Everytown for Gun Safety and its subsidiary, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, have helped push six states since 2013 to adopt more background checks on gun sales — what they consider the single most important measure to prevent shootings. They have also helped thwart legislation in severalstatesthatw ould make it easier to obtain firearms and carry them in more places such as schools.

The mighty National Rifle Association still has the upper hand in many places in the U.S. But Everytown, which aspires to become the NRA's counterweight, has certain advantages over prior gun-control campaigns, namely more money, strategic support &om the former mayor of New York, and a well-organized network of activist moms whose numbers are growing in reaction to recent mass shootings. ''We merged the head and the heart," said Everytown president John Feinblatt, who was a top mayoral aide to Bloomberg.'We have the smartest lawyers in the country working on this issue, but we also have people who will

Everytown grew out of the merger last year of the Bloomberg-backed Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action, which was formed by public relations executive Shannon Watts after the 2012 killing of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

AfterCongress rejected a move to expand background checks following the Sandy Hook tragedy, activists turned their attention to statehouses, seeking what they say are modest, commonsense laws.

Saunderspasses away at 60 Flip Saunders, who tallied more than 1,000 victories over a 35-year coaching career that included successful stops with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons, died Sunday of cancer at age 60.

He also coached the Washington Wizards during a career that spanned 17 seasons as an NBA head coach and a 654-592 record.

Saunders announced in August that he was being treated for Hodgkin lymphoma. Doctors considered it "very treatable and curable," and Saunders at the time said he planned to remain the Timberwolves' head coach and president of basketball operations.

However, he was hospitalized following a setback in September, and it was announced Friday that Saunders would miss the entire 201516 season.

Golden ousted at Miami Miami has fired head football coach Al Golden one day after the biggest loss in school history.

Hurricanes athletic director Blake James made the announcement Sunday evening. Tight ends coach and run game coordinator Larry Scott willserve as interim head coach.

Golden was 32-25 (17-18 in the ACC) in his four-plus seasons in Coral Gables, but a 58-0 home loss Saturday to undefeated Clemson proved to be the end of his tenure. Miami is just 4-3 this season, one year after going 6-7 despite having seven players who were eventually selected in the 2015 NFL draft.

• Andrew Peasley's 67yard score in final minutes sends La Grande to win

By Ronald Bond The Observer

For the first time in a decade, the La Grande Tigers are the outright GreaterOregon League champions.

Garnering that distinction, however, was obtained only after winning a closer-than-expected shootout with rival Ontario.

Andrew Peasley threw three touchdown passes and ran for the gamewinning 67-yard score with 4:01 to play as La Grande rallied to knock off Ontario 46-43 Friday night at Community Stadium.

"It feels amazing," Peasley said.

David Jackman said."It's awesome to actually win the GOL outright because lastyear we tied forit.Itfeelsso much betterthisyear,especially afterthe fight we had. I can't explain it."

The victory gave La Grande an undefeated season in the GOL and its first outright league crown since 2005, when the Tigers went 4-0. La Grande has twice shared the title in that span, as La Grande, Baker and Ontario tied for first in 2006 and 2014.

La Grandealso ended a nine-game losing streak to Ontario — its last win in the series was a 55-14 blowout in

2005.

But La Grande had to rally from an early 13-point deficit and play through what head coach Harold Shannon said was the team's worst game of See Title/Fbge 6C

No. 11 Eastern Oregon University has a handful of goals for the season, but one main focus was another perfect regular season at home.

Mission accomplished.

The Mountaineers shook off its first Cascade CollegiateConference loss to Northwest University Oct. 17 with a pair of dominating showings at Quinn Coliseum. After dispatching Multnomah University in a sweep Friday, Eastern sent off seniors Piper Cantrell and Kendra De Hoog the right way with a 25-13, 25-18, 25-10 victory over Warner Pacific College Saturday on senior night.

"It feels amazing," rightside hitter Isabelle Statkus said."One of our goals was to win every home game, and to ifinish perfect) on senior night was great. Kendra and Piper are such a huge part of ourteam, soitwasgreatto get the win."

With the two wins, Eastern finished the regular season with a spotless 12-0 mark at home while maintaining the top spot in the conference.

'This is one place where you can really have a homecourt advantage," Eastern head coach Kaki McLeanMorehead said."It's not a fun placeto playfor opponents, and we want to protect it.

We've established that goal the last two years, and it's something I'm proud of. iThe players) should be very proud too,because it'sagreatthing."

In Saturday's match, De Hoog led the team with 10 kills fiom her outside hitter position, and fittingly had kills on the match's first and last point. Cantrell, who is recovering from surgery, entered the match for an underhanded serve on the match's second point, before being subbed back out the next point.

"I'm just lucky to play with a team that cares about you and they all have your back," De Hoog said ofher emotions on senior night."It's a big thing at home to show our crowd who we are and how we can play."

Kasaundra Tuma and Amanda Miller each had

'You never want to play without important people, but I think we did a good job of covering for her," McLeanMorehead said of Cantrell, who Eastern hopes to get back this weekend."It shows how well-rounded defensively we are, and how much of a team effort it really is."

The Mounties wasted no time taking control against the Knights. With a 16-9 lead, Eastern scored the next seven points, including two kills by Emily Nay, en route to the first-set win.

The second set was the closest. The Knights took an early lead, only to see Eastern come back with five straight points to seize an 8-5 advantage.

The score was 16-14 when De Hoog came through with a kill, but the Knights trimmed the lead to 19-18. Rachelle Chamberlain converted a kill on the next point, and Tuma followed with a block and a kill. Statkus scored two of the final three points, with her blocksealingthesecond set.

OOL Continued from Page1C a home match Saturday against an opponent yet to be determined. aWe've talked all season about when are we going to peak and become that well-rounded team that's able to execute everything that we do," Lind said."I think we peaked at the right moment."

Earlyon in theday,Powder Valley was struggling and fell behind to Joseph two sets to one. But the Badgersrallied in the fourth setto knot the match, bringing up a pivotal fifth set. It was tied 8-all in the fifth when Powder Valley went on a 5-0 run, highlighted by two kills from Leah Day and an ace from Feik, who was named to the all-tournament team. On match point, Ashlyn Calloway delivered a kill as Powder Valley outlasted Joseph 7-25, 25-16, 18-25, 25-16, 15-11. aWe kind of started the day off slow, but they really figured it out as the day went on," Lind said.'This team doesn't get rattled easily, and they really work well as a team. They never give up, which is exciting to see. Joseph is a great team, and we've battled with them all season. It was a great match."

After Griswold defeated Echo to start the tournament, Powder Valley got right back on the court for the title match just about 20 minutes after the win over Joseph. But for the Badgers, the short break actually helped against the Grizzlies.

"I think it was good for us to play Joseph first and have a really hard game andhave tobattlethatout,"said Savanah Stephens, who also made the all-tournament team.'Then against iGriswoldl, it was more about who had enough mental toughness. Both teams were tired, and it was more about who could pull through even when they're

Also on the Badgers side was a four-set victory over Griswold in the regular-season finale. Lind said that was a huge confidence builder for the title match, and it showed immediately.

The Badgers won a back-and-forth first set after scoring five of the final seven points. Stephens' kill made it 23-10, and Day blasted a pair of kills to seal the set.

In the second set, the Grizzlies got back in with a hard-fought two-point victory, but Powder Valley seized control in the third. Tied at 15-all, kills by Calloway and Stephens helped gain an 18-15 advantage. Griswold would trim the lead to 20-19, but backed by a kill and a block by Day and Stephens' ace, Powder Valley went up 24-19. Kaylee

Burk's kill gave the Badgers the 2-1 advantage.

Powder Valley i21-7 overall) raced out to a 6-0 lead in the fourth set, highlighted by two aces from Stephens.

Griswold battled back to make it 7-6, but the Badgers responded with six straight points, getting kills from Day and Megan Hufford.

Stephens goton another roll from the service line as Powder Valley stretched the lead to 178, and the Badgers never looked back.

With a 21-12 lead, Feik delivered an ace, and after kills by Day and Burk, Day ended the match with a kill. aWe pulled together, and we stuck through it with each other," Stephens said.eiThe title) just made us feel a lot closer and like we're ready for anything."
