Two local organizations came together this weekend to providewarm clothing for families in Union County. The Lions Club and the La Grande Soroptimists met at the Riveria Activity Center Saturday with three roomsfullofcoats,boots and socks for anyone in the communitywho needed them. The Soroptimist group handled the boots, socks, hats and gloves, while the Lions Club had two rooms stocked with winter coats of all sizes. Soroptimist Jessie Huxoll said the event is held annually for two weekends, the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November, to make warm clothing available for Union County families. "The Festival of Trees donations we receive go back to the community through this event," Huxoll said of the Christmas event held every year by the Soroptimist organization. The money raised at the Festival ofTreesgoestoward purchasing warm clothing, to be added to donations from the community. Huxoll said families and friends of Soroptimist members donate gently used clothing. "Les Schwab and Mountain Valley Therapy and Fitness help us out a lot too," added Huxoll.

It first was held in the basement of Claudson's Sew and Soak in La Grande on Adams, and then moved to the basement where the La Grande Marketplace is, she said. "Every year, more and m ore people come," said John Howard, a member of the Lions Club.

Crow, who now lives in the Hollywood area and in Colorado with her family, has been interacting with La Grande High School studentsforthe pastfouryears via Skype. Each of the previous four school years Skype sessions between Crow and LHS students have been arranged by Lamoreau. The LHS teacher emailed Crow's adoptive mother, Barb, earlierthisyearto arrange another Skype session with Rachel. She wrote back telling Lamoreau that Rachel "loves the kids at your school."

PENDLETON — A journalist has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court at Pendleton against Baker City and Police Chief Wyn Lohner and his officers.

system currently operational at the middle school and Greenwood and Island City elementary schools. Yet a sad fact overshadows these prudent security measures: Our world has reached a point where we must plan, then fund and then execute such measures to keep students safe. Imagine how out of place such measures would appear to someone who attended any one of those learning facilities 20 or 30 years ago. The world we live in, however, demands that not only should such measures be rationally pondered but, in the end, actually put in place. The high-octane debate regarding guns, gun control and school shootings are simply outside the scope of the very narrow focus of finding a method to ensure our students — our children — remain in a safe environment. The security system also sends an undeniable message about another seemingly sacrosanct sentiment regarding our world — we are all intimately connected. That means an incident in Roseburg or Missouri or Florida can, and often does, carry poignant relevance right here in the Grande Ronde

Valley. That is why the decision by the district to install the security systems is such a good one. It shows that there is a common understanding that even in the rural heartland, tragedy — linked to real-world problems — can erupt at any time. We wish we could steadfastly stand up and call into question why such security systems are necessary. But we can't. We can't because of other terrible incidents that occurredduring the past25 years thatoken involved the senseless destruction of young lives in seemingly safe havens such as schools. The buzz-in security system is a good idea and should be promptly installed in every other school and facility in the district. Not only does it make sense in our turbulent world, but it should give parents and district patrons another added layer of confidence that students will remain safe. Yes, no security system is foolproof. However, the buzz-in system is just one of a number of tools that can be utilized to minimize the chances a school shooting will occur in our little corner of the world. We wish none of those security measures were necessary. We wish that school shootings were, indeed, just a nightmare that can evaporate with the first rays of dawn. Unfortunately that isn't the case. Even here, in Northeast Oregon, we must be vigilant and do all that we can to ensure our schools remain sheltered places to promote learning.

WOLVES Continued from Page1A and 16 groups or packs located throughout the state. However, environmental groups argue the findings are based on flawed modeling and have not been reviewed by an outside independent scientific panel as required by law. Amaroq Weiss, West Coast wolf organizer with the Center for Biological Diversity, said the ODFW analysis paints an overly optimistic picture of wolf survival into the future without endangered species protections. 'There's no logical way you could define thisas a speciesthat'srecovered,"Weiss said. Weiss was one of the stakeholders who helped develop Oregon's Wolf Conservation and Management Plan in 2005, which calls for ODFW to consider delisting wolves afterreaching a population objectiveoffour breeding pairs in Eastern Oregon for three consecutive years. That objective was reached

But VanOrder's candidacy throws a curveball into the race for Barton's seat: she's a former Democrat running as unaffiliated. Major parties typically expect una Bliated voters — 9,213 in total in Barton's district — will split somewhat evenly between Republicans and Democrats. "I'm a lifetime Democrat turned Independent iandl decided I wanted to be nonaffiliated because I don't want anyone telling me what to do or how to vote," VanOrder told The Bulletin Friday."I want to not only run as nonaffiliated, but do it without taking a dime from anyone."

It is not known when the Becker construction firm will be able to begin the repairwork because ofprevious project commitments, but Elgin School District Superintendent Dianne Greif is confident that the work will begin relatively soon. "Ifeelgood thatitison thedocketto get fixed," Greif said.'We know that it is going to happen." About two-thirds of the cost of repairing the roof will be covered by PACE, the Elgin School District's insurance company. One reason for the delay in awarding a bid for the repair of the gym is it took time for the district to thoroughly study all the gym's portions, Greif said. As part of this process PACE Insurance sent an engineer earlier this year to do a

„

structural analysis of the gym. Heavy snow loads and high winds in recent years are believedtohave helped weaken the trusses. The damaged trusses were discovered in the summer of 2014 when school officials were trying to find out why the roof was leaking, Greif said. The gym at Stella Mayfield is at least 60 years old.Beforeitwasclosed,itwas used for Stella Mayfield physical education classes, the school's volleyball, basketball and wrestling team practices. Since the gym was closed, all of Stella Mayfield's indoor PE classes and indoor athletic team practiceshave been conducted at the Elgin High School gym. Students are bussed to the EHS gym for PE classes. Greif will be glad when it will no longer be necessary for Stella Mayfield students to use the

EHS gym. "It is inconvenient, and there is an added expense," Greif said.

Threat to parties? Moore says although some voters may be unhappy with the other two major parties, there's not much to the Independent Party platform that would draw a much w idernumber ofvotersto its candidates. Still, the phenomenon of voters leaving the Republican Party has that party's attention. Republicans fiom Washington County gathered recently in the back of a restaurant in Aloha to hear local members' concerns and desires. The group got together as part of a statewide listening tour, and just over two dozen local Republicans assembled toairtheirgrievances about a state controlled by Democrats. Bill Currier, the state party's new chairman, briefly mentioned the rise of the Independent Party of Oregon, saying it is due at least in parttolostfaith in government. Others, including Bob Niemeyer, a Republican candidateforgovernor,said they couldn't put their finger on why the state's third major party has come onto the scene. Niemeyer said he thought Democrats preferred the growth of a third party, thinking they benefit by having Independents in the spotlight. "I really believe ivoters who registered as Independents) were drug into something they didn't know was goingtohappen,"Niemeyer said. He added he thought voters would be'kind of surprised all of the sudden that there's a party and that somebody with their affiliation may be able to run ... as an Independent candidate who will probably do nothing more than suck away Republican votes."

in January. The final decision now rests with the Fish and Wildlife Commission, which meets Nov. 9 in Salem. Public comments will be accepted through 5 p.m. Friday. The Oregon Endangered Species Act allows the commission to delist a species if it satisfies five criteria: the species is not in danger of extinction; the species' ability to reproduce is not in danger; most populations are not actively losing habitat; the species and habitat arenotbeing overused;and existing state or federalprograms areenough to protectthe speciesmoving forward. About 42 percent of Oregon land is considered potential wolf range, according to ODFW. Wolves currently occupy 12.4 percent of that area, and are expanding at an annual rate of 860 square miles. Russ Morgan, ODFW wolf program coordinator, said delisting wolves would not immediately change how wolves are managed under the Wolf Plan, but allows the plan to "continue to work into the future."

The Stella Mayfield School gym has been closed since the summer of 2014 for safety reasons. Stella Mayfield School serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

JOHNSON Continued from Page1A Later, he was able to use thatperformance togetaccepted into a comedy competition in Las Vegas. "Out of1,500 videos submitted, 16 comedians were asked to perform. Six of those became finalists, including myself," he said. Johnson said he had been doing comedy for only a year at the time of the Las Vegas performance. Being a inalistopened a lotofdoors f for him professionally. Now, Johnson's eyes are on Second City and getting into the Conservatory Program. He plans to move to Chicago with his fiancee, Devon Galiszewski, around July 2016 and audition. "If I don't getin this year, Fll audition nextyear,"he said. The audition is a 45-minute improvisational show with nine other people vying to join the same program. 'There are nine other people standing there with you, all equally as talented as you," Johnson said. But that, and the challenges he's faced, won't deter him. He said the average person who gets hired as a writer on"SNL" is between the age of 25 and 30 years old. Johnson said he's gotten the encouragement and confidence from his audience to leave the comfort of his hometown and travel to the big city. "It's rare to see a6-foot3-inch, 250-pound dude runnmg around and doing cartwheels," Johnson said. The late comedian Chris Farley is one of Johnson's idols. He said thefactthat he has the same build as Farley is inspiring and reminds him that it doesn't matter what he looks like, he can do this. 'This is what I have to do," Johnson said.'There is no other option. Not to say I don't love La Grande, but

In the meantime, while he's waiting for his fiancee to finish her degree at EOU, Johnson is working at Joe Beans on Adams Avenue. He said he enjoys the job and is working there part time to earn some money before they move. He is also continuing to work on his art. Johnson has a YouTube channel and Facebook page where he uploads his performances and announces future dates forlive performances.Right now youcan fi nd him by searching for Nick Johnson Comedy.He might be changing his name, though, because he found out that there is another Nick Johnson heading to Second City next year.

'"SNL' has always been my dream," he said."In the long run, I just want to make people laugh. If that means 'SNL' doesn't work out and I have to get a teaching degree and make teenagers laugh, then so be it." Johnson said he's bound and determined to make his dreams a reality by the time he's 30 years old. "I'm not going to be funny when I'm 30," he said jokingly.

The hotel was located at the south end of E Street close to the railroad tracks and was built byToyYoung, a prominent Chinese businessman. A common feature for hotels and other buildings of the early time period was the balcony on the second floor. The Sommer Hotel in La Grande, the Centennial Hotel in Union and the Sommer Hotel in Elgin all had similar balconies.

A new business in Elgin, Modern Woodmen, is putting its money where its mouth is by delivering on its promise of giving back to the community. Kem Brainerd, financial representative at Modern Woodmen, set up the new business in Elgin in July. At the time, she said the business gives back to the community as often as possible. She's making good on that promise by delivering educational materials to many schools and daycares in the Grande Ronde Valley and welcomes anyone who also wants some donations to just ask. "It's just our way of giving back to the community," Brainerd said.

very community has a structure or two; a landscape that has been a staple, landmark and a primary association with that area. The Elgin Opera House is one such landmark that stands out whenever Elgin is mentioned. The historic structure has literally been a pillar of the community since it was first constructed in 1911 and completed in 1912. The location, architecture and design has impressed generations of community members, touristsand sightseersforyears, furthercreating an association with the community of Elgin. Furthermore, the events generated have added to the overtone. The structure was originally designed and built to fulfill two functions: city government and preforming arts. The purpose of the grouping permitted the composition and design to become unique throughout as being able to serve dual functions within. The two story Colonial style brick building with its dressed foundation entertained its first official event in 1912 with the commencement of Elgin High Schools graduating class. At its official dedication on July 4th and a record crowd attendance, the Opera House was acclaimed as one of the finest, much in part for its slanted seating arrangement and sharp acoustics. Although The Opera House has since been newly renovated including its original motif the architectural beauty and historic background have officially added it to the National Register of Historic Buildings. The accomplishments within the beautiful historic structure have been just as historic and relevant to the existenceofthe area,including positive economic contributions, regional, state and national recognition as well as providing locals a place to hone their performing arts skills while showcasing some ofthebestlive theaterin the region. The building is now home to the nonprofit performing arts group Friends of the Elgin Opera House. The group has contributed greatly to the community by hosting a variety of local community events in addition to the live theater. Most recently, the group has offered a sequence of productions throughout the year along with the availability to purchase season passes.

shopping for another day The last severalyears I've been very put off by the commercialism that overtakes the holiday season. Years ago it started with Black Friday sales beginning at 6 a.m., then it was 5 a.m., 3 a.m., and finally, midnight. What really did me in were stores being open on Thanksgiving

Day! I can only imagine the pity the Pilgrims have looking down on our worldly existence. The madness isn't about to end any time soon but one retailer is willing to take a stand this year andadd a little perspective to the Thanksgiving menu. Last Tuesday, co-op outdoor retail giant REI announced a campaign to fight back against the frenzy of consumerism that settles in on Thanksgiving weekend. Rather than having a huge Black Friday sale they are instead giving employees the day off, paying them to head outside. SeeOutside/Page 2B

Caramel Apples.

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

wasn't mai Now that we are into politics and the coming election, I thought you might enjoy a play-by-play description of one of our local elections from a diary I kept in 1977. This was before voting by mail, when election boards were necessary for seeing to the voting and counting of the ballots.: • Friday, Jan. 7, 1977: My mom called, and I agreed to work the dayboardforthe schoolbudget election on Tuesday, Jan. 11. • Monday evening, Jan. 10, 1977: I prepared my lunch for working the election-board the next day and left George a list of things to do, including stoppingatthe hospitalto seehow a friend was doing, picking up books at the library, and bringing me a hamburgerand milkshake formy evening meal. • Tuesday, Jan. 11, 1977, 10 degrees: We had to be at mom's and Leo's by 7 a.m.inordertobe atthe schoollibrary room in the old high school, later the junior high school and more recently vacated when the administration offices were moved into some of the rooms of the building. Wilma Easley was just walking over to mom's and Leo's kom her house with her bags oflunches, etc., so we four climbed into mom's red car, leaving George at the house until time for him to go to work, and we set out for the school. The skies were barely light. The building was open and already busy with the arrival of the other day-board members and the people who were erecting the steel-6amed voting booths with their plain canvas cloth covers and colorful red/white/blue striped canvas flap doors.

Apples' successas adoctor-repellentis legendary. You can't make all-American pies without them. And they can be a vital component in anybody's eye. Best of all, they are crispy, sweet and delicious. Except the tart ones. Those are crispy, tart and delicious. Even Delicious apples are delicious. For apple lovers,thisisthe besttim eofthe year. The markets are full of what seems to be an unendingvariety ofapples,kom Pink Lady to Braeburn, kom Idared to Empire, kom Criterion to SweeTango to Grimes Golden. You can just bite into them all, if you want. But apples are too good to be solely eaten out ofhand. They should be cooked, too, or at least useduncooked as partofa treatthatiseven better than plain apples. I am speaking here about caramel apples, one of the most glorious delights of the season. You can make caramel apples by taking those cellophane-wrapped caramels, melting them and dunking apples into them, but that's not really satisfying — and it's not nearly as good as making them yourself. The caramel is the key, and making it is nothard,butyou do need a candy thermometer. An accurate candy thermometer. A few degreesoffand you getcaramel thateither slides off the apple or a crispy — not chewycaramelized shell. The secret is to calibrate your candy thermometer. Just boil water and see what it registers on yourthermometer.Ifitreads212 degrees, you'refine.Ifitreads206 degrees, you11know toadd 6 degreeskom every temperature it says. Do this simple trick, and you will be rewarded with chewy, delicious caramel apples that are a perfect autumnal treat. For anapple-related entree,Im adeone of my favorite recipes. It combines chicken, apples, onions and Dijon mustard, and I agree with you: It sounds awful. It sounded awful to me 25 years ago when I first discovered it in a Glamour magazine cookbook, and it still sounded awful to me every single time I have made it since then, and there have been many. These are four ingredients that should not play well together. And yet, I keep coming back to itbecause therecipe isso good.Ihave no idea why the ingredients blend together with such harmony, but they do. Best of all, it is simple and fast to make. Applebuttertakes considerably longer to create, but patience while cooking is often a virtue. Applebutterisone ofthose pleasures I came to appreciate only as an adult. When I was a child, I didn't understand why anyone would bother with apple butter when they

could have jam. But with age comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes apple butter. Homemade apple butter is glorious, but it takesa keen sense ofproportion to keep all the flavors in balance. You begin with tart apples, Granny Smiths, which must be peeled, cored and sliced. These are initially simmered in a lightly sweet mixture of apple cider and water until they are soft enough to be passed through a sieve. Plenty ofbrown sugar is added, along with lemon juice and zest. But the tricky part comes kom the proportion of spices — cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Too much spice makes the butter bitter, but a light hand with them will turn these common ingredients into something spectacular. Don't forget the English muln. For some reason,applebutteralways tastesbeston an English muln. For anapple-based dessert,Ipaged through a cookbook by Jacques Pepin and found a recipeforcaramelized appletimbales that couldn't fail. It failed. Pepin is a star in the culinary world, a celebrit y chefbeforetherewere celebrity chefs. He and his fiiend Julia Child are largely responsible for popularizing French cuisine in America. Ifhe had a recipe that I couldn't get to work, I figured the fault was not in the culinary star but in myself. So I tried to make it again. And again. And again. Each time it came out tasting like mushy baked apples. After four tries I decided to throw in the apple-stained towel. This is simply a dish to forget. Which leads us to another bit of wisdom: One badapplerecipe doesn'tspoilthewhole bunch.

CARAMEL APPLES Yield: 8 servings

•000

8 apples, preferably Granny Smith 8 craft sticks or chopsticks 1 cup chopped pecans, peanuts or nuts of your choice 1 cup heavy cream, divided s/4 cup light corn syrup 1 stick("/2cup) unsalted butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1. This requires an accurate candy therrnoeter. To check yours for accuracy, boil a small pot of water and use your candy thermometer to find its temperature. If it reads above or below 212 degrees, you will have to adjust your reading accordingly. For instance, ifyour thermometer reads the temperature of boiling water as 217 degrees, you will have to rerneber that your thermometer reads 5 degrees higher than the actual temperature. 2. Wash and completely dry the apples. Insert a stick into the stem end of each. Pour nuts into a bowl and set aside. 3. Fit a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a candy thermometer. Over high heat, cook s/4 cup of the cream, the corn syrup, butter and sugar to 246 degrees (this is the firm ball stage). At this point, the syrup will be golden. Remove from the heat and carefully swirl in the remaining "/4 cup of the cream and the vanilla. Use caution; this is very hot and it may splatter. 4. After the bubbles have subsided but the caramel is still hot, dip and turn the apples into the caramel to coat and let the excess drip off. Dip the bottoms into the chopped nuts. Arrange the apples on a nonstick or waxed paper-lined cookie sheet and let cool. Note: If the caramel becomes too thick to dip the apples, reheat it over low heat, stirring, until it can again be poured. SeeAppleslPage 2B

Shirley Bolin, the county clerk, and make it her problem. This she did, and soon Shirley was with us helping iron out the diKculty. I kept my nose to my own job, seeingit was senseless to have all captains and no crew. Even with the three boards working as fast as the job would allow, the room was packed with voters, not a few of whom got rather warm under the collar when they worked their way up the long lines only to find that they were in the wrong lineand had to startoverat the end of an equally long line. George showed up to vote sometime after six, but he was in one of the other lines, so I barely saw him go by. He didn't have my hamburger and milkshake, so I called across to him that I didn't have time for the hamburger, but would like the milkshake. I wasn't sure that he heard me, but there was no time todo more about it. The lines didn't diminish until about 7:30 p.m. when M argaret declared that the polls would close in one-half hour, and, even then, they were steady. There were many certificates indicating people voting for the first time and required extra time to fill in the information on the books, and slowing the movement of the line. At 8 p.m., Margaret declaredthe voting over and closed the doors. We began tallying our books, gathering materials and finishing stringing of the ballot stubs. The stubs were

in a mess since nothing had been accomplished since the numbering botch-up, and we had to put them in numerical order. With the help of all the boards, we managed to get it done and everything put away. One lady had torn up all the extra ballots without our knowing it, so we had no proper count of our beginningand ending fi gures. We were at the school until 9:45p.m.trying tofind one last ballot record. Dick Hiatt came in to see who had won — "yes" or "no" — and stayed to tally the books on the pocket computers. None of us knew the results as yet. Reports were that the lines had been equally heavy at Greenwood School, which was the other voting place forthe restofthe precincts and remaining outlying districts. Finally one of the ladies came in from the counting room to tell us that they had found an unmarked extra ballot in their box. This accounted for our lost one, so we packed up to go home. Dick stopped by again to tell us that the voting was top-heavy in "yes"es, so many parents, teachers, and students would heave a big sighofreliefsince the budget had been turned down three or four times in a row and schools would definitely close Nov. 12 if it failed one last time.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — This year has brought an unusually grim and steady drumbeat of violence throughout the country. A 5-year-old girl killed last month in Cleveland in a drive-by shooting. Seven people slain in Chicago over the July 4th weekend. A young female journalist in Washington, D.C., fatally struck by an errant bullet in May while waiting to change buses. Violent crime has often been a local government concern and a problem that had been on the decline. But rising homicide totals in most of America' slargecitieshave sounded alarms within the Obama administration, with federal officials drawing urgent attention to the problem before Congress, at conferences and in speeches. The Justice Department last month organized a brainstorming summit with mayors and police chiefs. And FBI Director James Comey, testifying during the summit, said the "very disturbing" homicide spike has law enforcement scrambling to figure out why it's happening now, and whyin so manycities that seemingly have little in common otherwise. "It's happening all over the country, and it's happening all in the last 10 months," Comey told the House Judiciary Committee."And so a lot of us in law enforcement are talking and trying to understand what is happening in this country. What explains the map? What explains the calendar?"

risks widening that divide, Comey has said. The uptick, if it continues, threatens to draw resources away from other police department initiatives — and reverse some of the progress cities have made against violent crime over the last two decades. Police chiefs and other law enforcement officials announced a push for national background checks for those attempting to purchase firearms, and stressed that any legislation would have to includethe salesby private citizens and not just licensed gun dealers. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen exactly what the federal government will do about the problem.

The teams were locked closely until the 6-minute mark. Ahead 33-31, Eastern went on a 12-0 tear over the next four minutes. Rada drilled a trey in transition, and Washington drew the defense to him and dished it down to Johanson for a two-handed flush for a 38-31 advantage. Following Johanson's baseline move for a score inside, Washington nailed a pair of outside shots: a pullup jumper and a 3-pointer that took a friendly role, and the Mounties went up 45-31 with two minutes in the first half. Victoria battled back to trim Eastern's12-pointhalftime lead to 61-58 midway through the second half. De Laveaga responded with a 3-pointer off Johanson's offensive board, and Rada connectedfrom long range a few minutes later to put the Mounties ahead 70-60. Brandon Hoston's steal and dunk made it 75-62 with five minutes left, and de Laveaga and Rada both hit treys to put the finishing touches on the victory.

The Coyotes beat Eastern 1-0 in overtime Oct. 18, so the Mounties were given the No. 3 seed for the conference playoffs beginning Nov. 11. ''We're 15-2 now with 11 shutouts on the season, so we're excited forthe playoffs," Eastern head coach Justin Wagar said. In Friday's shut out of Trinity Lutheran, forward Crystal Schuder scored two goals for the third time this season. Charli Torres assisted on one of Schuder's goals, which both came early in the first half. Forward Zoe Anderson tacked on the Mounties' third goal of the first half in the closing minutes. ''We played great on Friday for the first half," Wagar said."Unfortunately, we didn't play that great in the second half. That's something we talked about: playing a full 90 minutes." For the most part, the Mounties did that in Saturday's win. Schuder scoreda goalin the 18th minute to give Eastern the earlyadvantage.After three scoring chances in the final 10 minutes of the first half nettedzerogoals,forward Alexandria Cuaresma scored in the 60th minute to put the Mounties ahead 2-0.

Afterthe dust settled from the weekend, Schuder and Anderson both finished with 14 goals for the season. That put the players in a three-way tie with College of Idaho's Jamiece Yizar for the Golden Boot award for the conference, with Anderson's six assists giving her the outright advantage in total points.

"Possession always in the first minutes iS good, beCauSe it ShoWS the Other team it'SgOing tobe hard to getthe balland We can possess, "he said."That's a big factor — POSSeSSiOn.

But an errant Dufur hit gave the Badgers match point, and on the next play, Day's kill got past the Dufur defendersto setoffthe celebration. "These girls have huge hearts, and that's really what it comes down to," Lind said.'They support one another, they never turn on one another, they just keep getting pulled together and they're a strong unit. I think that's what really pushed us over the top, was their heart." Day said she wasn't even thinking the final play would come her way. "I was totally expecting it to go backside for Hallie iFeikl to shoot it out, and then it comes to me and I was so scared. But it worked out," she said of the sequence. A match that was every much the definition of back and forth, with the team alternating sets, saw the Badgersstartstrong and never trail in winning the first set. Powder Valley led 18-12 after a kill from Day, then 23-14 after an ace from Kaitlyn Uttenruther and a Dufur error. The Rangers pulled within three late beforeMegan Hufford put down one of herthree blocks forthe set. Set 2 belonged to Ellis, who collected seven kills during the set. Consecutive kills by her put Dufur up 10-8, and two morekill s later iced the set.

We worked hard in practice all week, and it was nice that the girls came out here and showed that they're capable of playing a real solid match. They were well focused on getting a win so that we could return to the state tournament." Imbler controlled the tempo of the match while leading two of the three sets from start-to-finish.

"It's greatthatwe allcame out here and worked together so hard with a common goal to get a win,"Wilhelm said. aWe played aggressively, and it feelsgreattoreach the state tournament. The Falcons were a great opponent, and we enjoyed playing them." In the first set, which was knotted four times, Imbler broke a 7-all deadlock with a 7-4run to go up 14-11 and force a Falcon timeout. Leading 15-13, Imbler then gained the momentum with a 4-0 run, including a Rudd kill and service ace by Allie Slater, to build a 19-13 advantage.

Powder Valley senior Ashlyn Calloway plays a shot in a second-round Class 1A playoff victory over Dufur Saturday. "Tianna's our only senior this year, and she has kind of carried us through the season, in leadership and in kills," Dufur head coach Jody Weaver said."She's been a really important part, and we made it as far as we did because of her." The Badgers rolled in the third set, going up 11-6 on a Hufford kill and 20-13 on a Hufford block. The sophomore finished out the set with two more kills in the final three points. But Dufur fought back again, taking its first lead of the fourth set at 18-17afterback-to-back killsfrom Chloe Beeson. An Emily DePriest kill later put the Rangers up 22-18. Savanah Stephens kept the Badgers close with one of her seven kills, pulling Powder Valley to within 22-21, but the

"It felt really awesome to help our team get the win and reach the state tournament so we can keep our season going," Barry said. aWeplayed with lots of energy today, because we didn't want to come all the way out here for nothing. Coming into the game, we didn't really know what to expect because we never saw ithe Falcons) play this year. Our plan was to just go out there, giveitourbestshotand play our hearts out." In the second set, a 7-1 run by the Panthers put them in control, 17-7. The Falcons then responded with a similar 7-1 run, trimming it to 18-14, and 20-16 later in the set. A 4-0 Panther run, capped by an unreturned serve by Wilhelm, gave Imbler set point at 24-16. After a Falcon sideout made it 24-17, Barry recorded her second straight set-clinching kill. aWe wanted to redeem ourselvesafternotreaching the tournament last year when we lost in the district playoffs,"VanLeuven said. aWe've been working hard all year to get to the tournament. It's so exciting to be going there now." A desperate Falcons squad fought back in the third set, which included six ties and two lead changes.
