"My wife's love of dogs rubbedoff on me," Smith said.

His family includes a chihua­hua, although he made it clearthat's his wife's dog.

Officer Rand Weaver trainedSmith when he joined the policedepartment. Smith said he likedworking with Weaver partlybecause Weaver was the handler

for Turbo, the department's now­retired drug-sni5ng dog.

That was when his interest inbecoming a police dog handlerwas piqued, Smith said.

Turbo, who was trained todetect marijuana, was retired twoyears early because recreationalmarijuana use is now legal inOregon.

Barely half of Baker County residentswho are 16 or older are working or look­ing for work, the lowest rate since stateeconomists started tracking the statistic25 years ago.

It's called the labor force participation

It measures how many residents whoare technically eligible to work are actu­ally either doing so, or are looking for ajob.

Baker County's rate in 2014 was 51.6percent, lowest among Eastern Oregoncounties and lower than all but four ofOregon's 35 other counties.

Baker County's labor force participationrate dropped from 56.8 percent in 2010.That decline of 5.2 percentage points is

slightly higher than the drop for Oregonoverall during that period.

LOCAL BRIEFINGFinancial aidforiIurned grivate land

DRUG DOGContinued from Page 1A

Lohner said Turbo's train­ing could lead to legal com­plications during searchesin which he would detectmarijuana. The police han­dler would not know if Turbowas indicating the presenceoflegal marijuana or illegalnarcotics.

The new drug dog will betrained to ''hit" on variousillegal narcotics, but not onmarijuana.

BCPD's newest canine of­ficer is being purchased fromSouthern Coast K9.

An individual dog hasn'tbeen selected yet. It could bea German shepherd, a blackor yellow lab or a BelgianMalinois.

Southern Coast K9President Bill Heiser said it'simportant to match the dog'sand the handler's personali­ties.

When Smith arrives at thefacility in Florida, Heiser saidhe will have an opportunityto meet with and interactwith several dogs to find thebest match.

"He's picking a partner he's

going to work with for therest ofhis life," Heiser said."It's like picking a wife."

He said Southern CoastK9 stafF will look at how thedog and handler react toeach other. The dogs are highenergy and need a handlerwho has similar traits.

"Sometimes they don'tmatch. You've got to find thatspecial one," Heiser said."They have to be compatible."

Smith is excited about theselection process.

He said he is lookingforward to meeting the dogwho will end up living withhis family.

'There's just some dogsyou don't get along with,"Smith said."They all havedifferent personalities likewe do. I'm excited to find onethat I'll bond with"Once the dog is selected,

Money is available to help privateproperty owners restore land damagedby this summer's wildfires.

The federal aid is available throughthe U.S. Natural Resources Conserva­tion Service iNRCSl, and is intended forfarmers, ranchers and forest owners inBaker, Grant and Malheur counties.

The deadline to apply for aid is Oct.16.

''With the devastating wildfire seasonthis year in Oregon, we are committedto helping agricultural producers getconservation practices on the ground

"I think most ofitisjustworking with the dogevery day — kind oftuning myselfinto whatthe dogis doing"

as quickly as possible," NRCS OregonState Conservationist Ron Alvaradosaid in a press release.'We are collabo­rating with state and federal partnersto focus recovery efforts in areas w iththe highest levels ofburn severity andvegetative mortality. We want to makethe most effective use oflimited NRCSdollars to help Oregonians in the mostfire-stricken areas start the path torecovery."

The money is earmarked for suchprojects as planting grass and shrubsto reduce erosion in areas where fires

pletes the handler's course inFlorida.

A Belgian Malinois is usu­ally about 60 to 65 pounds.Heiser said the dog selectedfor Smith will likely be thatbreed.

That does have an advan­tage concerning its transport.

Being less than 100pounds iincluding its kennel)allows it to travel as bag­gage rather than cargo, saidPhoebe Wachtel, administra­tive assistant for Baker CityPolice.

United Airlines offers aprogram called PetSafe inwhich the animal is in a con­trolled environment that ispressurized the same way asregular passenger cabins.

"My concern is havingthe dog in a kennel for anextended period of tim e,"Wachtel said.

She said that if the dogwere shipped as cargo,the flight would have goto Portland because theBoise airport does not havecargo pickup on the weekend.Smith and the new drug dogare scheduled to return &omFlorida during a weekend.

Smith said there is an­other aspect to working withthe drug dog that is tied tohis love for dogs.

"I'm going to have the bestattitude of anybody in thedepartment," he said."I'llhave my therapy right therewith me."

Turbo had served withBCPD since 2007 before hiscareer was ended in earlyJuly.

Turbo cost the depart­ment virtually no money,and the department's canineprogram has been fundedby community donations aswell as &om the efforts of onefamiliar summer event inBaker City.

Hells Canyon MotorcycleRally and its co-founder/orga­nizer Steve Folkestad helpedto raise $30,000 to bringTurbo to the police force.

When it became evident

— Coleton Smith, who willwork with the Baker CityPolice Department's newdrug-detecting dog

Smith will work with the dogduring training in Florida.

Smith said he will also betaught the technicalities ofthe law regarding the use ofdrug-sni5ng canines.

"I think most of it is justworking with the dog everyday — kind of tuning myselfinto what the dog is doing,"he said.

During the two-weekhandler's course, Smith willbe trained in record-keeping;maintaining the health of thedog which includes caninefirst aid, diet, exercise andstress handling; learn aboutthe odors his new dog istrained to detect and learnthe role ofbody language andfootwork when working withthe dog.

There is a difference inhow the new dog indicatesthe presence of drugs andhow Turbo did that task.

Turbo would scratch ator near the area he detectedillegal substances.

The new dog will sit pas­sively and stare at the sourceof the odor he is detecting.That's when the dog is re­warded with praise.

"He doesn't know he islooking for drugs," Heisersaid."He just knows he's go­ing to get attention &om hishandler and wants to pleasehim. He wants the interac­tion.

"Detecting drugs is likeplaying to the dog. It's likea fun game to him," Heisersald.

The new member of thepolice force will travel onthe same flight as Smith toBaker City after Smith com­

Lohner said Folkestadmade a statement whenTurbo came to the local policeforce, that he would helpraise more money if neededto replace the canine officerin the future.

Folkestad kept his wordand has answered the chal­lenge.

OVC CIl

UIllS CSEditorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Getting a ticket for allowing children to vandalizea railing in a forest should be an embarrassment. Itcertainly doesn't reflect well on the adult's sense ofright and wrong or on his or her willingness to setlimits on unacceptable behavior.

It should be an embarrassment, but in the case ofa man and two kids and the defacement of a railingat Tumalo Falls in the Deschutes National Forest, itmight not have been. The U.S. Attorney's OKce origi­

nally refused to release the name of the adult in thegroup, say just what the ticket he received was foror make public the amount of the fine he paid. Norwould the U.S. Forest Service initially say how muchit will cost to repair the railing — a cost that restitu­tion presumably covered.

We're baRed by the secrecy. The American justice

system isn't supposed to work that way, even forrelatively minor offenses.

There's good reason for that. If government agen­cies can charge and fine people in secret, what's toprevent them from arresting, charging and finingpeople who have committed no crime beyond beingannoying? That's the kind of behavior that's sup­posed to go on in dictatorships, not in a nation thatprides itself on its open government.

Meanwhile, we were able to learn something aboutfederal vandalism charges in general. Vandalismis considered a Class B misdemeanor, not the mostserious misdemeanor, but also not the least seriousone. A person charged with a Class B misdemeanormay be fined as much as$5,000 and could spend upto six months in jail.

In this era of instant judgment via social media,

it may be that oKcials were worried that the indi­viduals involved in the incident hadn't committedan offense so bad that they deserved what unoKcialpunishment might follow.

We can understand that, though it misses thepoint. Americans' faith in the legal system is ground­ed in our ability to find out just what's going on. Takethe latter away, and the former disappears.

Your viewsBoardman-to-Hemingwayline won't go away

Do you think that the Boardman toHemingway power line has gone away?Not a chance. I expect that the BLM willissue its decision just before the holi­days. Since we will have only 30 days torespond, great timing, likely on purpose.W e get to study lots of pages, they get toeat turkey.

You can be sure that the BLM andIdaho Power are working hard to comeup with all the benefits for BakerCounty. Even after almost 400 peoplesent letters that objected to all parts ofthe project.

The Plan of Development, submit­ted by Idaho Power describes in detaila construction project far larger thanwhat was done for Interstate 84. Canyou believe it? The 250-foot-wide pathis wider, cleared of vegetation and has atwo-track road the entire 300 miles.Hard to imagine more miles of access

roads will be built than the entire 300miles of the power line. Think of theamount of gravel over the newly bladedroads. It is hard to grasp the monstroussize of the construction and what willremain.

Mr. Deschner points out the 100-footcell towers. These pale compared to the195-foot transmission towers.

All this effort and cost when it is notneeded in the first place. Be ready, weneed to stop this project cold, or at thevery least move it into Idaho.

Letters to the editor Cellphone towers in town? Apreposterous proposal

After all our collective hard work,for decades, to make Baker City sucha unique, livable, and beautiful smalltown, Verizon Wireless wants to con­struct two 100-foot cellphone towers intwo Baker City neighborhoods. This isthoughtless, unnecessary, and uncre­ative! There are other sites even withinthe city limits for co-locating with exist­ing structures (i.e. stadium lights), aswell as current tower locations in thefoothills.

Verizon Wireless, via Acom Consult­ing, has applied for conditional-usepermits to construct tw o 100-foot celltowers within the Baker City limits. Thepermits are necessary because the cityhas a height restriction in both the pro­posed locations. To put this in perspec­

tive as to the im pact of 100-foot towers,the Baker Towers, the tallest structureeast of the Cascades in Oregon, is 114feet at roof-line, 144 feet to the top.The proposed sites are 2960 East St.,

north of the Baker Fairgrounds (thisis a residential neighborhood with asmall light industrial pocket (storageunits) and 2431 11th, between Madisonand Carter. Height restriction for theseareas is 38 feet and 50 feet, respectively.The tower on East Street would be morethan visible from the north end neigh­borhoods, the river pathway, the freeway,Campbell Street and downtown. Theproposed tower location on 11th wouldbe equally visible and would certainlymitigate property/business owners' cur­rent efforts in working to spruce up 10thStreet. Is this the message we wish toconvey to visitors, residents, businesses,and potential residents, that we are notmindful or interested in keeping ourtown beautiful?

Also disturbing to me is that theowners of these proposed site propertiesare not being good neighbors. They andVerizon would be the only beneficiariesof such structures. Would these propertyowners receive enough lease moneyfrom Verizon to be worth blighting oursweet town?

The city Planning Commission willconsider these applications at a publichearing Wednesday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m.at City Hall. The Commission is accept­ing written comments until 5 p.m. Sept.16 and public comment at the publicmeeting at 7 p.m. Please join me inobjecting to this preposterous proposal.

BOISE — If increasinglydestructive wildfires in theGreat Basin can't be stopped,the sage grouse populationwill be cut in half over thenext three decades, scientists

A report released Thurs­day by the U.S. GeologicalSurvey comes just aheadof a court-ordered Sept. 30deadline faced by the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service todecide whether sage grouseneed protection under theEndangered Species Act.Experts say such a listingcould damage Western states'economies.

'The sagebrush steppe andsagebrush ecosystem are introuble," said Matt Brooks,a fire ecologist with theUSGS and one of the report'sauthors.

The study also identifiedpotential ways to avert sagegrouse declines by classifyingareas for their resilience todisturbance and resistanceto invasive species such ascheatgrass, and then apply­ing suitable strategies. Publicland managers have alreadybeen doing that, but theUSGS report could fine tunethose efforts."It adds to the science that

grass, an invasive, fire-pronespecies that wipes outsagebrush ecosystems withwildfire as its main weapon.

"Management of cheat­grass is definitely a key,"Brooks said.

The study that examined30 years of data up to 2013found that burned areasnear sage grouse breedinggrounds nullified populationgrowth that would normallyoccur after years with highprecipitation. The study alsolooked ahead 30 years at pro­jected wildfires and recoveryrates ofburned areas andpredicted long-term popula­tion declines in the studyarea that included Nevada,Utah, Idaho, Oregon andCalifornia.

"Habitat degradationwithin the Great Basin ecore­gion of the IntermountainWest of North America is acontemporary example ofhow disturbance is driving

rapid changes in ecosystemstructure and function acrossenormous spatial scales," thereport said.

The 43-page study didn'tinclude a 436-square-milewildfire in southwest Idahoin August that destroyed 297square miles of sage grousehabitat, 83 square miles ofthat considered priority habi­tat that contained breedinggrounds, called leks.

Rehabilitation efforts drewa high-visibility visit by thedirector of the U.S. Bureauof Land Management, NeilKornze, to Idaho, who notedthe agency's concerns about apotential sage grouse listingas a reason for the trip.

The chicken-sized, ground­dwelling bird ranges across11 western states, with muchof its habitat administeredby the BLM. The birds oncenumbered in the millions butnow have an estimated popu­lation of 200,000 to 500,000.

Sage grouse are one ofsome 400 species that use thesage brush steppe. But sci­entists consider sage grousean indicator of the overallhealth of the sagebrushsteppe, sometimes called thesagebrush sea for the vastareas it covers and which isalso facing challenges.

Fruit growers still dealing with 2014 coldMILTON-FREEWATER iAPl — Umatilla County fiuit

growers are still hurting from a cold snap that last yeardecimated cherry, prune and other orchards.

The East Oregonian reports ihttp J/bit.ly/li6ADtk lgrowers around Milton-Freewater, northeast of Pendleton,won't have a cherry crop until 2017.

The reason: last November, temperatures plummetedby nearly 60 degrees in a matter of days, killing buds and

Not a single cherry was harvested commercially inMilton-Freewater. Farmers also lost prunes and plums.

Even some apple trees were killed all the way downto the roots. Umatilla County grows more apples thananywhere else in Oregon.

The area grows about 650 acres of cherries, whichtypically bloom a month earlier than in other regions andfetch a premium price. The crop usually brings in about$4.5 million at the farm gate.

Computer glitch sends welfare checksSALEM iAPl — The Oregon Department of Hu­

man Services accidentally sent payments of more than$500,000 because of a computer glitch.

The Statesman Journal reports 4ttp%/tjr.nV1L8A8uylthat DHS communications director Gene Evans say theglitch occurred earlier this week as the agency switchedcomputer operating systems.

The money was sent &om the child welfare program to73 vendors, including foster parents.

The department uses software that was written forWindows XP, which Microsoft no longer supports. Whenthe department upgraded its computers, the billing sys­tem began malfunctioning in Windows 7.

The department says the database is no longer issuingpayments and was being fixed over the weekend.

Ban on GMO crops not enforced for nowGRANTS PASS iAPl — Josephine County won't

enforce a ban on genetically modified crops until a relatedlawsuit is resolved.

The Daily Courier reports 4ttp J/bit.ly/1F9reMq l thatcounty voters passed a GMO ban in May 2014 and thecounty originally told farmers growing GMO crops toprovide a phase-out plan by Sept.4.

County Legal Counsel Wally Hicks says the Board ofCommissioners decided to suspend that deadline untila court rules on a lawsuit brought against the county byRobert A. White Jr. and Shelly White, who grew GMOsugar beets.

The Whites say a state law pre-empts the county's ban.

Kentuc clerkwon'tinterfere withmarriage licensesBy Claire Galofaro

MOREHEAD, Ky.­Clerk Kim Davis returnedto work Monday for the firsttime since being jailed fordisobeying a federal judgeand said she was faced witha"seemingly impossiblechoice" between followingher conscience and losing her&eedom over denying mar­riage licenses to gay couples.

With her voice shaking, shesaid she decided not to inter­fere with deputy clerks whowill continue to hand out themarriage licenses in RowanCounty, but Davis declaredthey would not be authorizedby her and she questionedtheir validity.

In her first day back attera five-day stint in jail, Davissaid she was torn betweenobeying God and a directive&om the judge that"forcesme to disobey God." Davis, an

Associated PressApostolic Christian, believesgay marriage is a sin.

'Tm here before you thismorning with a seeminglyimpossible choice that I do notwish upon any of my fellowAmericans: my conscienceor my &eedom," Davis said,reading fiom a hand-writtenstatement outside the court­house where she works.

Davis became a hero tomany conservative Chris­tians when she stoppedissuing the licenses after theSupreme Court effectivelylegalized same-sex marriage.Her profile reached a feverpitch when she was jailed, asprotesters, presidential can­didates and news crews fiomacross the county descendedon the small town of More­head.

On Monday, the plazaoutside the courthouse tookon a carnival air: loud speak­ers blasted Christian music,

television cameras and lightswere set up in white-toppedtents and Davis' supporterswaved signs and prayed.

The issue has drawn someof the most fervent Christianactivists fiom across the coun­try. Their trucks are parkedup and down the street, bear­ing signs that read"sodomyruins nations" and"repent."

One truck, with a NorthCarolina license plate, hasa poster-sized photo of anaborted fetus on the side. 0th­ers, fiom Iowa and Colorado,feature photos of two menkissing with doomsday warn­ings about the sin ofhomo­sexuality.

These individuals, organizations and businesses aresupporting our senior Dining Center for September:

about 100 reporters formed atight semi-circle around thecourthouse door and waitedfor Davis. She emerged justminutes before her officeofficially opened and gave herstatement, saying the licenseswould now say they wereissued"pursuant to federalcourt order."

"I don't want to have thisconflict. I don't want to be inthe spotlight. And I certainlydon't want to be a whippingpost," Davis said."I am nohero. I'm just a person that'sbeen transformed by thegrace of God, who wants towork, be with my family. I justwant to serve my neighborsquietly without violating myconscience."

U.S. District Judge DavidBunning held her in contemptand ordered her to jail Sept. 3when she continued to refuseto issue the licenses. In herabsence, her deputies issuedat least seven licenses to gaycouples and altered the formsto exclude Davis' name.

The governor, the attorneygeneral and the county attor­ney have said the licenses arevalid. Davis and her attorneysclaim otherwise.

The deputy clerk whohanded them out, BrianMason, said Monday thathe will continue to hand outthe licenses despite his boss'sobjections.

The Dry Gulch fire burns Sunday near Highway 86 onthe Halfway Grade between Richland and Halfway.

FIREContinued ~om Page 1A

Winds should be lighter,temperatures 10 to 15 de­grees lower, and rain show­ers are possible late todayinto Tuesday morning.

eWe don't expect the sameweather pattern as yester­day, and that is obviously aclear advantage," Bennettsald.

He said crews will be fo­cusing today on the prevent­ing the fire from spreadingeast beyond the Sag Road,in Posy Valley a few milessouth of Halfway.

That's near where the54,000-acre Foster Gulch firestarted in 2006. Until lastmonth's CornetlWindy Ridgefire burned across 104,000acres in southern BakerCounty, the Foster Gulchfire was the biggest blaze inBaker County history.

"For a while iSundayl itlooked like it was going to be

Blaies leave ranchers withhurtcattle, lackof forageBy Gosia Wozniacka

PORTLAND — For weeks,rancher Darrel Holliday hasrounded up fiightened cows andcalves off the smoldering hills of theStrawberry Mountain Range, a wil­derness area in eastern Oregon ofold-growth forest and grass wherewildlife and cattle roamed.

Holliday's entire federal forestgrazing allotment of about 32,000acres — 50 square miles — burnedlast month as a wildfire ravaged thearea. The land is now a smoke-filledexpanse ofblackened tree sticksand ash a foot and half deep.

eWe're picking up cows thatshould have calves with no calves.We assume they might have diedout there," said Holliday, who isstill missing 22 ofhis 180 cow-calfpairs. He's among dozens of ranch­ers similarly wrestling with theloss of animals and grazing land ina region where cattle productionis one of the leading agriculturalindustries.

The vast majority of the 1.6 mil­lion acres — nearly 2,600 squaremiles — that burned in Oregon,Idaho and Washington this yearare federally owned, data show,with large swaths of that publicland used as rangeland for livestock

grazrng.Many of Holiday's recovered

animals have burnt hooves or arelame from walking on hot coals, hesaid. Miles of fences have burned.And the land, for which Hollidaypays a fee, will likely be closed tograzing for at least tw o years whileit recovers, he said.

That's left him scrambling tofigure out how to feed the cows.

eWe've been ranching here all ourlives," said Holliday, whose fatherstarted grazing cattle in the area in1942.eTo watch it totally destroyed,you get sick to your stomach everyday you go out there."

In Oregon's Canyon CreekComplex alone, 125 of the 170square miles burned were grazingallotments, said Malheur NationalForest rangeland managementspecialist Nick Stiner. Some 4,000cows ranged on those allotments,he said.

And in the Soda Fire in south­west Idaho, that state's biggest firethis year, 280 of the 430 squaremiles burned were federal grazingallotments and another 75 squaremiles were private grazing lands,according to the National Inter­agency Fire Center.

In addition to rangeland lost,ranchers and ranching groups say

hundreds of cows have perishedand millions of dollars'worth ofhaystacks and barns has gone up inflames.eWe're hearing lots of reports

of displaced cattle and grazinggrounds that are no longer usable,"said Kayli Hanley of the OregonCattlemen's Association, which saysmany ranchers are still assessingdamage and looking for lost cows.

In northern Washington state,where the Okanogan Complexburned about 475 square miles andis considered the largest wildfire instate history, rancher Doug Grum­bach found the burned carcassesof several cows on a hill amongsmoldering trees.

One of those cows becamewedged between two trees trying toflee the flames.

When the fire started last month,the fourth-generation rancher wason his way to move the cows dis­persed in the mountainous terrain.But, he said, the winds picked upand the fire exploded, so "we had toget ourselves out of there."

In total, eight ofhis cows andfour calves died and 20 are stillunaccounted for — a loss of tens ofthousands of dollars. H e's also treat­ing calves and cows with burnt feet,severe body burns and respiratory

Associated Pressproblems.

"They're kind oflike family ...you care for them all their life, soyou hate for anything to happen tothem," he said.

Grumbach said he doesn't haveenough unburned private land tofeed his cattle; his cows are now eat­ing hay meant for winter feed. Andbecause of the drought, he doesn'thave as much hay as usual, he said.

Many ranchers like Grumbachare desperately looking for pasturesand hay, said Wyatt Prescott of theIdaho Cattle Association. Those whocan't afford feed, he said, are send­ing their animals to sale yards.

"Producers spend generationsdeveloping the genetics of theircows to produce the best beef. Liqui­dating part of their herd is some­thing they try to avoid at all costs,"Prescott said.

His group is facilitating a con­fidential online pasture exchangewhere farmers who have land out ofproduction can lease it to those wholost their grazing grounds.

Idaho rancher Brenda Richards,who runs about 500 cow-calf pairs,lost 95 percent ofher grazing allot­ment to the Soda Fire.

"Ranching is the strength ofthese local communities, that's ourtax base," Richards said, adding

that the fire has been devastating,but it also brought out local ties. "Itwas amazing to watch people cometogether."

Cattle associations and privategroups are now collecting hay anddistributing it to those who lostrangeland.

In Eastern Oregon, convoys oftrucks have hauled in about 600tons ofhay from donors inside andoutside the state to a storage setup by newly-formed group Hay forJohn Day, a town just northwest ofthe Strawberry Mountain Range.

The historic fire season has alsore-kindled a long-running debate.

Ranchers say the federal govern­ment should have allowed moregrazing to reduce the severity of thewildfires. Environmental groupssay more grazing would haveincreased soil erosion and ripariandamage, removed native grassesand increased fire risk.

Federal officials stand in themiddle: grazing, they say, mayhelp slow some fires' spread, but itwon't make a difference in extremeweather.

''When you have high winds,grazing won't stop or slow thatfire," said Jessica Gardetto with theBureau of Land Management.

participation rate dippedfrom 65.4 percent in 2010 to61.3 percent in 2014.

The participation rate hasa direct correlation to theaverage age of a county'spopulation, said DallasFridley, a regional economistfor the Oregon EmploymentDepartment.

As an area's populationages, more people leave thelabor force, usually by retir­ing, and the participationrate drops, Fridley said.Other factors can also af­

rt ' •

C,

After a squirrel's bite turned off myelectricity one day, I thought abouthow dependent I was on electricity incomparison with how things were formy mother.

Except for when I went up in thehills to visit my cousins where theyhad a kerosene lamp, I had the ad­vantage of pulling a cord or flipping aswitch to turn on lights. Not so for mymother until marriage when my fatherbrought electricity into their houseand hung drop-cords from the ceiling.Neither of us flipped a furnace switchfor heating the house back then.

As a child, remembering varioushouses in which we lived, we primarilyheated the main living space iwhichmeans cold bedrooms) by burningwood in a kitchen range and a livingroom wood-heated pot-bellied stove. W edidn't know about electric furnaces andtheir wall switches or electric ranges.

As times changed, or as did thehouses in which we lived at the time,the pot-bellied stove gave way to acoal-burning furnace in the basement,a wood-eating furnace, then to gas-heatcoming up through a grate in the floor,and once to water-heated radiatorsalong the wall.

All of those were short-lived and wewere back to unheated bedrooms, butwe now had an oil-burning heatingstove in the living room that sportedan isinglass-fionted stove door open­ing where we could see the flaming oilburning inside.

Somehow through all of this, thetrusty old wood-burning kitchen rangedid its duty as it was moved from houseto house.

Pears are an amazing fiuit, full of nutri­tion, typically containing 100 calories, and ofcourse they're fat-free.

They are a great source of vitamin C andcontain natural phytonutrients and other an­tioxidants found in the colored skins of somevarieties. Pears are also an excellent sourceof fiber — one pear provides 6 grams of fiber,about 24 percent of the daily value that helpto calm hunger pangs.

Pears are delicious when combined withsweet and savory foods. Rich soil provides thefoundation to superbly delicious pears; it isto no surprise that the Pine Valley in easternBaker County grows an abundance of thisfabulous fiuit.

Our pears ripened early this year. I knowmany of you are canning and drying pearsbut I wanted to share with you a few newideas.

I judge a recipe with one basic question,aWill I make it again?" The answer to thisPear Tart dish is that I have made it twicein the last week. I will be makingit againsimply because it is easy and looks appealingwith the perfect amount of sweetness. It hasbeen taste-tested by a few of our neighborsand I promise you this recipe is a keeper.

I had never baked with phyllo doughbefore. I avoided it because it just seemedintimidating. I highly encourage you to clipthis recipe out and give it a try.

Pushing the boundaries on my search forpear ideas I w as interested to try this Scones& Sharp Cheddar with Honey recipe. This isnot a typical bake for me but I really enjoyedthe results and highly suggest you serve

Summer'slast sweetcelebrationByArthi SubramaniamPittsburgh Post-Gazette

Signs that summer is wrapping uphave arrived. Kids have started goingback to school; NFL preseason gamesare underway; night temperaturesare dropping; and prices of strawber­ries and blueberries have hit $4 andchange.

Soon yellow squash and zucchiniwill be giving way to their cool­weather cousins such as butternutand spaghetti, and apples will rulethe fruit shelves. But before thathappens, celebrate the last weeks ofsummer with one last hurrah, usingproduce that best defines the season.

Toss ripe nectarines and grapeswith cucumbers and carrots. Thendrizzle the salad with lemon juiceand speckle it with cilantro for ano-frills, colorful and delicious MixedSummer Salad. As an alternateoption, substitute nectarines withplums.

For a burst of vibrant flavors,prepare a Mango-Peach Salsa thatis spicy, tangy and sweet in equalmeasure by mixing chopped peaches,mangoes, yellow peppers, toma­toes, jalapeno, onion and lime juice.Finally, sprinkle some cilantro to givethe dip an earthy flavor.

Newfoodsafetvrules

WASHINGTON (AP)— Food manufacturersmust be more vigilantabout keeping their op­erations clean under newgovernment safety rulesreleased Thursday in thewake of deadly foodborneillness outbreaks linkedto ice cream, caramelapples, cantaloupes andpeanuts.

The rules, oncepromoted as an Obamaadministration prior­ity and in the works forseveral years, ran intodelays and came outunder a court-ordereddeadline after advocacygroups had sued. Eventhen, the Food and DrugAdministration allowedthe Aug. 30 deadline topass without releasingthe rules to the public.

When the rules go intoeffect later this year, foodmanufacturers will haveto prepare food safetyplans for the governmentthat detail how they arekeeping their operationsclean and show that theyunderstand the hazardsspecific to their product.The plans will lay outhow they handle andprocess food and howthey monitor and cleanup dangerous bacterialike listeria, E. coli orsalmonella that may bepresent, among othersafety measures.

The idea is to put morefocus on prevention in asystem that for decadeshas been primarily reac­tive to outbreaks afterthey sicken or kill people.

"The food safety prob­lems we face have onething in common — theyare largely preventable,"said Michael Taylor, theFDA's deputy commis­sioner for foods.

It was a gift from my sisterBetty.

Betty had come home fromserving in the military WACs(Women's Army Corps) over­seas in India during WorldWar II in the 1940s, movingin again with the folks whileshe got readjusted to civilianlife. She found employmentand with her paychecks shepurchased my mother's firstelectric stove. The trusty oldwood burner range with thewarming ovens above and thetemperamental oven belowwas moved to the barn.

Excited but fearful, Momhesitantly learned to use theknobs that could give herheat without wood. No longerstoking the firebox with woodto keep the stove ever-readyto warm the kettle ofbeansor the pot of coffee or keep theoven the correct pie-bakingtemperature, it was a wholenew world of cooking, bakingand heating.

You arefascinated by human behavior, and you arealways driven to comprehend not just what ishappening, but why. You understand thatthere is always a deep-seated human compo­nent to everything that goes on in the world.Even those things that happen in the worldsof science, technology, medicine, mathemat­ics and the like happen because people makethem happen — and you're the kind whowants to be at the forefront of change, prog­ress and evolution. You won't be left behind!

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER )5VIRGO (Aue. 23-Seph 22) — You and oth­

Who is right here? Is it OKto say whateveryou want because it's your house, or is itbetter to use some censorship when there arechildren around?

DEARWONDERING: You did the rightthing. Your brother-in-law should watchhis mouth when your daughter is present.Because he's unwilling to do that, limit her ex­posure to him. And if she hears him do it again,make sure to explain to her that the expres­sionis one you do not want her to ever repeat.

DEARABBY: My ftancees son is gay andrecently marrv'ed. He is 30 and his spouse is24. They don't have much money, so I hostedtheir wedding reception in my backyard. Inaddition to all the work involved — gettingthe food and drinks, preparing the food, pre­paring theyard and cleaning up — Iwoundup with $700 charged on my credit card.I have been out of work for the last threemonths and can't afford this.

I know tradition is that thefather of thebride pays for the reception and the fatherof the groom pays for the drinks. In a gaywedding, is the new tradition that Mom'sboyfriend pays while both dads don't spenda cent? Both of them work. I'm consideringsending them each a polite bill for $800.

— MODERN MANINPENNSYLVANIADEAR MODERN MAN: I suggest that

you and your fiancee take care of the bill,and ask the grooms to pitch in what theycan afford. I don't think it would be fair orappropriate to expect the new in-laws to payfor anything that wasn't clearly agreed uponbefore the wedding reception took place.

DEARABBY: My girlfriend, 'Ashley,"andI have been dating for three years. Every yearI ask her to go on a trip with me to St. Louiswhere my parents live. It's a weekend trip myparents sponsorfor our entire family, and itinvolves a Cardinals baseball game. Everyyear she refuses to go.

When she invites me on her family ftshingtrip to New Mexico, I go. When I ask whyshe won't do the same for myfamily trips, she makes excus­es like she doesn't want to getup early. Most people in myfamily are early risers. Ashleyis not. I tell her she can sleepas long as she likes; no one will care.

I believe there is something else thatAshley isn't telling me. I have expressed myunhappiness about this, but it does no good.I am to the point ofjust ending this relation­ship. I don't understand her reluctance. Ireally want her to come with me and spendmore time with myfamily. What can Ido?

"Someone has to bringhim down," Kentucky Sen.Rand Paul told The Associ­ated Press last week. "I'mnot going to sit quietly byand let the disaster that isDonald Trump become thenominee."

NEWYORK (AP)­For Serena Williams'first 26 matches thisyear at major tourna­ments, no deficit wastoo daunting, no oppo­nent too troublesome,no victory too far fromreach.

She was unbeatenand, seemingly, unbeat­able, nearing the firstGrand Slam in morethan a quarter-century.All Williams needed wastwo more wins to pulloff that rare feat. Andyet, against an unseed­ed and unheralded op­ponent in the U.S. Opensemifinals, she faltered.Her pursuit of historyended, oh so close.

In one of the mostsignificant upsets inthe history of tennis,Williams finally found ahole too big to climb outof, losing 2-6, 6-4, 6-4on Friday at FlushingMeadows to 43rd­ranked Roberta Vinci ofItaly.

"I don't want totalk about how disap­pointing it is for me,"Williams said at thestart of a briefer-than­usual news conference."If you have any otherquestions, I'm open forthat."

Vinci had neverbefore played in aGrand Slam semifinal;Williams owns 21 majortitles. In four previousmatchups, Vinci hadnever taken a set offWilliams.

Mangum was making thefirst start ofhis career afteranother shocking victorylast week. He introducedhimself to the collegefootball world after seniorTaysom Hill was lost for theseason with a lisfranc sprainin his foot.

Mangum played well inrelief, but he snatched aplace in BYU lore with a 42­yard Hail Mary touchdownpass to Mitch Mathews withno time remaining to beattraditional power Nebraskaon the road.

Mangum struggled onintermediate passes muchof the night, but the longball was his friend.

After meeting her oppo­nent, Roberta Vinci, at thenet for a long hug — bothfrom the southern heel ofItaly's boot, they were child­hood friends, then doublespartners and roommates asteens — Pennetta let Vinci inon a little secret that wouldsoon be shared with theworld.

NEW YORK — Afterwinning a point in the U.S.Open final, and bent on prov­ing a point, Novak Djokovicleaped and roared and threwan uppercut, then glaredat some of the thousands ofspectators pulling for RogerFederer.

Following another point inthat game, Djokovic nod­ded as he smiled toward thestands. And moments later,Djokovic shook his right arm,bloodied by an early fall,and screamed,s Yes! Yes!" tocelebrate a missed forehandby Federer.

"This is how I say goodbyeto tennis," Pennetta saidas her fiance, tennis playerFabio Fognini, captured thescene with his phone's cam­era."I couldn't think to finishin a better way."

Later, Pennetta clarifiedthat she plans to enter twotournaments in China overthe next month, and theseason-ending WTA Finalsin Singapore, if she qualifies.But she definitely won't beback at the U.S. Open.

She is the oldest woman inthe Open era, which beganin 1968, to become a GrandSlam champion for the firsttime. Vinci, who is 32, wouldhave earned that distinctionhad she been able to followher stunning upset of Wil­liams in Friday's semifinals.

Mariota outshines Winston in NFL debutsTAMPA, Fla. iAPl — The NFL isn't supposed to look so

Marcus Mariota threw for four touchdowns in his debutfor the Tennessee Titans, outplaying Jameis Winston ina highly anticipated season opener featuring the top twopicks in this year's draft.

Both rookie quarterbacks continued to shun compari­sons after Sunday's 42-14 rout renewed a debate overwhether the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made the right deci­sion in selecting Winston first overall.

''When somebody plays as great as he did, of courseyou're going to say that,"Winston said."But it's not abouthow you start, it's about how you finish.... Obviously wehave to improve during the course of the season."Mariota stressed that the Titans do, too, despite domi­

nating Tampa Bay, which like Tennessee went 2-14 last

"It means we're 1-0. For me, it's taking it one day at atime and just executing to the best of my abilities," the2014 Heisman Trophy winner said."It's a good start forus, but it's just the first game. We've got to continue to getbetter and not focus on stats."

In addition to helping the Titans end a 10-game losingstreak, Mariota improved to 2-0 in head-to-head meetingsagainst teams led by Winston, the 2013 Heisman winner.

Mariota-led Oregon trounced Winston and Florida State59-20 in last season's national playofF semifinals.

Mariota passed for 209 yards without an interception tojoin Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton as the only players tothrow for four or more TDs in their first NFL game.

Falk passes Washington State by RutgersPISCATAWAWAY, N.J. iAPl — Janarion Grant did

what he did best, but it still wasn't enough for Rutgers.Grant had a punt return and kickoff return for a touch­

down, but it was overshadowed by Washington State'sLuke Falk, who led a 10-play, 90-yard touchdown driveby an eight-yard River Cracraft touchdown catch with13-seconds left that lifted the Cougars past Rutgers, 37-34Saturday.Falk was 47 of 66 passing for 468 yards and four touch­

downs.While Grant tried to be the hero for Rutgers, he couldn't

return the final kickoff. The ball was kicked to LeonteCarroo and Rutgers tried to do its Stanford vs. Californiaimpression, before the ball was thrown forward afterseveral laterals.

Grant had the best game ofhis collegiate career. WithRutgers trailing 30-27 with 1:45 left, Grant returned apunt 55-yards for a touchdown to give Rutgers the 34-30lead, the second ofhis special teams touchdowns.

'There's quite a lot of thought on that now,"WashingtonState coach Mike Leach said when asked why he puntedto Grant."I don't know the exact call. I'm thinking we triedto but just didn't hit it."

The playmaker returned a kickoff 100 yards to giveRutgers its first lead of the game, 27-23 and finished witha school record 337 total yards.

Washington State answered Grant's 100-yard returnwith an eight play, 82-yard drive in 2:59.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.— Jim Harbaugh refusedto make it about him. BoSchembechler would've beenproud.

Harbaugh was a winnerin his home debut as Michi­gan's coach thanks in largepart to DeVeon Smith's 126yards rushing and threetouchdowns that lifted theW olverines to a 35-7 vic­tory over Oregon State onSaturday.

Perhaps fittingly, Smithwears No. 4just as Har­baugh did as Michigan'squarterback in the mid­1980s.

Harbaugh, meanwhile,donned a blue cap with amaize block M much likethe one his coach and men­tor, Schembechler, wore onthe same sideline. He evensounded like the late, greatleader, whose "The Team,The Team, The Team," man­tra was drilled into everyplayer at Michigan.

Did Harbaugh take amoment to enjoy his firstgame as a coach at MichiganStadium, where he playedand attended games as akid when his father was anassistant coach?

'Yeah, I did," he said be­fore quickly stopping himselffrom sharing too much ofhis thoughts and emotions."It's mainly about the play­

ers, the coaches and theirfamilies."

Harbaugh's wife, though,was more forthcoming.

"It was really cool andvery surreal," Sarah Har­baugh said.'When we werepulling up in the parkinglot, his mother was sitting

EAST LANSING, Mich.— ConnorCook waited all offseason for anotherchance to win a game like this — yetMichigan State's talented quarterbackneeded some help at the end.

The Spartans would have to holdone more time on fourth down againstOregon's always-dynamic offense.

eWe've got all the confidence in theworld in our defense, and know thatwhen it's crunch time they're going tocome through." Cook said.

Vernon Adams threw incompleteto end Oregon's final drive, and fifth­ranked Michigan State held on to beatthe seventh-ranked Ducks 31-28 on Sat­urday night in college football's marqueegame of the week. The Spartans stoppedOregon four times on fourth down,including one key stand in the secondquarter at the Michigan State goal line.

The Spartans lost only twice in 2014— to Oregon and Ohio State, the twoteams who played for the national title.Michigan State led in the third quarterat Oregon but lost 46-27.

'That stuck with me the whole year,"Cook said."It stuck with me during theseason. It stuck with me watching themplay in the national championship. Itwas with me all through spring, allthrough camp."

Cook threw for 192 yards and twotouchdowns Saturday, and the Spartansled 31-21 before Adams threw a 15-yardtouchdown pass to Byron Marshall

the game after Seahawksdefensive back Dion Baileystumbled on Lance Kend­ricks' 37-yard touchdowncatch. Cary Williams' strip ofNick Foles and 8-yard returnhad put Seattle up by atouchdown with 4:39 left.

The Seahawks openedovertime with an onside kick,as Bradley Marquez caughtSteven Hauschka's popped­up attempt. After throwing aflag for an illegal fair catch,officials ruled the ball waskicked directly in the air, soMarquez was OKraise his

The Spartans i2-Ol then sackedAdams for a loss of 10, and his pass onfourth-and-16 was incomplete.

"It's a long season," Oregon's BralonAddison said."The teams that played inthe national championship had one loss.We can't let this affect us."

LJ Scott ran for two touchdowns forMichigan State, and Aaron Burbridgecaughteightpasses for 101yards and atouchdown.

It was the first time two teams inthe AP top 10 met at Spartan Stadiumsince 1966, when No. 2 Michigan Stateand No. 1 Notre Dame played to a10-10 tie. The Spartans won this one,the latest big victory for a program thathas become a consistent Big Ten titlecontender of late.

"It feels like back in 2013, when wewon the Rose Bowl. We won the Big Tenchampionship game," Cook said."So I'drank it right up there with those gamesfor sure."

The game was tied at 14 after Ad­dison returned a punt 81 yards for atouchdown early in the third quarter,but Michigan State took the lead againon Scott's 6-yard touchdown run. A 38­yard scoring run by Scott made it 31-21with 10:51 remaining.

Adams nearly rallied the Ducks. Hisscoring pass to Marshall marked the70th consecutive game Oregon had

Michigan i1-1l lookedmuch better as a team thanit did in last week's loss atUtah.

The Wolverines also gotsome breaks in the pivotalsecond quarter against theBeavers i1-1l.

Smith gave the Wolver­ines a running game theylacked in the opener, but likehis coach, he wouldn't takecredit.

eWant to give a shout outto my offensive line," Smithsaid."They opened someholes you could drive a busthrough."

Defensively, Michigan putpressure on Oregon State'squarterbacks and didn't giveup a lot on the ground­much to the delight of nearly

Harbaugh was quietlypacing the sideline for muchof the first quarter and earlyin the second, rarely sayinganything to players, coachesor offrcials.

That changed when hesaw a penalty he didn't like.The game changed, too.

Michigan's Jeremy Clarkwas called for roughing thekicker, setting off Harbaugh.

The former San Fran­cisco 49ers coach shoutedat offrcials, flailed his armsand threw laminated sheetsbehind him because hethought Nick Porebski losthis protection as a punterafter bobbling the ball andzig-zagging before kickingthe ball.

The Seahawks then droveto the St. Louis 42, where theRams defense stuffed Mar­shawn Lynch on 4th-and-1 toend the game.

The Rams sacked RussellWilson six times, with AaronDonald and Robert Quinngetting two apiece.

thrown a TD pass, breaking a recordthe Ducks had been sharing. Texas Techhad a streak of 69 games from 2006­2011.

But Michigan State held on at theend.

"I watch those 'Fast & Furious' mov­ies sometimes and that's what thatreminded me of," Spartans coach MarkDantonio said."Up and down."

Adams had the index finger on hisright hand taped after the game, but hesaid it didn't bother him.

Oregon drove 75 yards in 13 playson the game's first possession, takingthe lead on a 2-yard touchdown run byRoyce Freeman. The Spartans an­swered with an even quicker TD. MadreLondon broke free for a 62-yard run onMichigan State's first offensive play, andCook threw a 12-yard scoring pass toJosiah Price.

What looked like an offensive show­case in the making quickly simmereddown. Michigan State's Michael Geigermissed a 28-yard field goal attemptlater in the first quarter, and Adamsthrew an interception.

Michigan State took the lead onCook's 17-yard touchdown pass to Bur­bridge early in the second quarter, andalthough Oregon drove all the way tothe 1-yard line, the Spartans held, stop­ping the Ducks on fourth down.

Adams improvised impressively laterin the second, scrambling in third downand throwing with his left hand to anopen Addison for 25 yards.

"Never thought to notpunt quite frankly,"Ander­sen said.Then, the long snap from

midfield sailed over Poreb­ski's head and bounced backto the Beavers 3.

"That happens once ina half-century," Harbaughsaid."That was a heck of agood break for us, but we'lltake it."

Smith scored his secondTD with 12 seconds left inthe first half to put Michiganup 17-7 and the Beaversnever got back in the game.
