Ron Hewitt is all smiles as he tells thestory behind his bright blue 1947 ChevyStylemaster coupe.

This car, he says, has come home.Hewitt, 70, lives in Hillsboro and drove

to Baker City to enter the 25th-annualMemory Cruise.

The Chevy originally belonged to hisgrandmother, Leona Hewitt, who lived inRichland and bought the car in 1950 inBaker.

"She drove from Richland to Bakerevery week for groceries," Ron says.

Her husband, Israel, never had adriver's license, so Leona was alwaysbehind the wheel.

Ron Hewitt remembers riding in thiscar with his siblings when he was young.He lived in Richland until third gradewhen his family moved to Baker. Theymoved to La Grande after sixth grade.

"But Baker's my home," he said.His father, Jim Hewitt, inherited the

car from his mother, and then gave it toRon in 1975."It sat in m y garage for 37 years before

I got to it," Ron says."I wasn't about to get Ron and Lirid of it. It was my dream of restoring it Cou p e Strfor the family."

He started restoring the Chevy in 2012,and finished this March.

Hewitt has entered a few car shows near his Hillsborohome, including the Portland Roadster Show and theForest Grove Concours d'Elegance. The Chevy won Bestin Class at both.On Saturday Hewitt parked the Chevy — which he

Even as wildfires continueto smolder, Baker CountyCommissionChairman BillHarvey is looking toward thefuture, and hebelieves the topgoal now should Har veybe salvagingburned timber.

And time, Harvey said, isalready running out."If we don't get salvage

logging, all that timber outthere is going to go to waste,"he said.'We only have a twoyear window of opportunityto salvage."

Harvey has in the pastargued that public forests inBaker County and elsewherein the West have too manytrees and were vulnerable towildfire.

The events of August, during which more than 150,000acres burned in BakerCounty, including thousandsof acres of forest, have infuriated Harvey.

The cold fiont that blewinto Baker County Saturdaybrought the coolest air inalmost three months.

And the cleanest air inalmost three weeks.

Although the Pacific stormleft most of its rain west of theCascades, it aided firefighters— at least after the strongerwind gusts subsided — bylowering temperatures andraising humidities.

Sunday's high temperatureof 69 degrees at the BakerCityAirport was the lowest inalmost three months — sinceJune 3, when the high was 66.

Sunday was also just thesecond day since Aug. 11when the daily air qualityindex was good.

Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative customers almostcertainly won't pay more for power next year.

They'll probably pay less.A 10-percent cut would not surprise Cliff Stewart,

general manager for OTEC, the Baker City-based cooperative that supplies electricity to about 28,000 customers inBaker, Union, Grant and Harney counties.

A10-percent cut would be the largest rate decrease inOTEC's 17-year history.

25 YEARS AGO

August 31, 1990

By Pat CaldwellFor the Baker City Herald

There was a steady diet ofgood news Wednesday whenmembers of the OregonHouse and Senate convenedin Salem to hear a briefingon the state economy.

The fact the state's incometax rebate — dubbed the''kicker" — will be launched

and send more than $400million back to taxpayersheadlined the good news portion of the session.

Yet there was no hidingthe elephant, invisible butits presence tangible, inthe room in the form of therecent economic crisis inChina.

"There were about three,m aybe four takeaways fromtoday's economic presentation," Rep. Cliff Bentz,R-Ontario, said."The firstis that Oregon's economy isstable. But there are somevery challenging things onthe horizon having to dowith China."

Today small, seeminglyinsulated economies in outof-the-way places acrossthe U.S. can no longer existwithin splendid isolation.Instead, economies in placeslike Malheur or Baker counties are linked in a symbioticrelationship with the rest ofthe world.

"There is no such thing asa local economy any more,"Bentz said.

China might appear to bea very long way from Campbell Street, but in terms ofthe commodity market thedistance is illusionary.

Bentz pointed out all ofOregon should keep a waryeye on the economic situation in China, and for onevery good reason.

"Since China is Oregon'slargest export partner, wehave reason to be more

— Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontano

concerned than any otherstate because of the damagea slowing economy in Chinacould do to our economy.Now, that hasn't happenedyet, but it might," he said.

Oregon exports a wide array of products — from computers to logs — to China ona regular basis.

And China is a big playerin Oregon commodities.Since 2009, China secured$3.4 billion in commoditiesfrom Oregon. China boaststhe world's second-largesteconomy and featureddouble-digit growth in thepast decade. For a long tim e,investing in China's economyand betting on its strong desire for export goods — fromstates like Oregon — seemedto be an easy wager to make.

Yet China's economy hasstarted to slow. A slump inChina's industrial outputand in construction translates into less demand acrossthe globe for key mineralsand other elements. Theperceived deceleration ofone of the world's biggereconomic engines igniteduncertainty across the globeand triggered panic in trading markets.

The U.S. Dow Jonesindustrial average recordedlosses for more than fivedays until a spectacularrally — where the industrialaverage climbed 600 points— brought relief Wednesday.

Thursday, global marketsappeared to be stabilizing,

"Thereis no such thing as a local

economyanymore Sin.ceChinaisOregon's largest export partner, we havereason to be more concerned than anyother state because of the damage aslowing economy could do to our economy."

mainly on the strength of reports the American economygrew by more than 3 percentduring the last quarter.

Good tidings in the U.S.economy does appear to offera counterbalance to the dismal news out of China. Consumer confidence appearsto be strong in the Americaneconomy and home salesrecently showed gains.

Wednesday's meeting inSalem showed that Oregon'seconomy also appears to besolid, Bentz said.

"Oregon's manufacturingis going up significantly androbustly. Our manufacturingbusinesses are doing verywell," he said.

Yet economic woes inChina can't be ignored, hesard.

"Demand from China isfalling," Bentz said.

The reduction in demandis not a curious factoid buta real issue that affects thesmall towns in his legislativedistrict, he said.

"I think the average Joein Malheur County, forexample, is interested in theprice of alfalfa and the priceof onions and the price ofapples. And those prices area direct consequence of whatis being imported by China.So if the economy in Chinabegins to falter, and it is,then people there are goingto buy fewer apples and lessonions," he said.

All of Oregon will facesome type of impact if the

ment.

Chinese economy tanks, hesald.

"There is no county inmy district that is immunefrom this," Bentz said."Thereason is your export marketfor beef or onions is hugelyimportant in any commoditybased system."

Local agriculturists studyeconomic events in otherportions of the world, hesaid, because every marketis linked.

"Of course they pay attention. If they don't theyrisk losing their market. Itis pretty important stuff," hesald.

One indicator of economichealth locally is the unemployment rate, and the latestfigures from the OregonEmployment Departmentpresent a mixed bag, thoughthe overarching theme appears to be that the joblessrate is in decline.

For example, the unemployment rate for BakerCounty dropped from 7.8percent in July of 2014 to 7.0percent this July.

Yet, on the other side ofthe coin, the unemploymentrate between June and Julyof this year climbed.The unemployment rate

for Baker County in Junestood at 6.4 percent butjumped to 7.0 percent inJuly.

The month-to-monthboost, however, can be tracedto one key factor, said TonyWendel, a workforce analystfor the Employment Depart

"Teachers are not workingiin the summer months),"he said."That decreases thenumber of employed people.As far as the rate going up,the iunemploymentl rate didincrease from June to Julywhich is not untypical for thesummer months."

aWe were concerned that the firecould escape our containment. This is agreat sign going into the future," Greersald.

Improving fire containment meansthat the 21 residential structures and 30minor structures in the Eagle Complexarea are in much less peril than theyhave been since the fires started twoweeks ago. Only one structure has beenlost, reflecting the priority firefightershave placed on protecting structures.

The Oregon Department of Forestry iODFlon Saturday bannedoff-road vehicle travel andchainsaw use on private,state and tribal lands inBaker, Union, Wallowa,Umatilla and parts ofMalheur, Morrow andGrant counties.

These restrictions wereadded to the existing banson campfires and all otheropen burning on landsprotected by the ForestryDepartment in its Northeast District.

Also prohibited aremowing dried grass withpower equipment, andmetal cutting, grinding orwelding.

The two federal agencies that manage much ofthe public land in the region — the Forest Serviceand BLM — continue toenforce similarly stringentfire restrictions, includingbans on all open burning,including campfires.

"ODF has a minimumlevel of restrictions, butprivate landowners canset their own more slringent restrictions for theirlands," Mitch Williams,acting unit forester, saidin a press release.sWe're

The good news is that Baker City's water supplyseems to have stabilized, and residents and businesses have curtailed their consumption during thissummer of drought.

The bad news is that we need to keep conserving.And probably for at least a couple more months.Neither September nor October is likely to replen

ish the sluggishly flowing streams in the city's watershed. September on average is the second-driestmonth here, and October the fourth-driest.

Fortunately, given the typical fall temperaturesin Baker City, our thirst tends to drop substantiallyas the equinox approaches even if the skies remainmostly sunny.We applaud people for acting responsibly and help

ing the city avoid what could have become a crisis.Had we continued to use water at the rate we

reached in late June, during the first heat wave, thecity would have had to bring in about 100 million

gallons more than it has.Much of that water would have come from the two

supplementary sources — Goodrich Reservoir and awell.

As it stands, Goodrich still has almost three-quarters of its capacity of 200 million gallons. That's acomforting cushion for the city to fall back on shouldthe watershed production dip over the next couplemonths.

A lot of people sacrificed a little to make that hap

pen, and we're all better as a result.

In the digital realm, there are no harddeadlines. Editors can tweak a story andreporters can update it at any moment.The ability to revise without limit — virtually instantaneously — has, of course,revolutionized journalism. But mostpublications still haven't figured out agood way to alert readers to substantivechanges and alterations.If there's an error of fact, publications

may amend the digital text and add acorrection, usually at the bottom of theWeb page. Editors often put throughnon-factual changes without botheringto notify readers at all. Rarely do corrections or clarifications carry any kindof explanation: how the reporter got thewrong vote count for an important bill;why the editor decided that the penultimate paragraph wasn't really necessary.There's a stunning lack of transparency.

Case in point: a recent New YorkTimes report on Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email server. The originalstory claimed that two inspectors general had asked the Justice Department"to open a criminal investigation intowhether Hillary Rodham Clinton mishandled sensitive government information." Later, the paper changed that lineto "a criminal investigation into whethersensitive government information wasmishandled in connection with thepersonal email account Hillary RodhamClinton used as secretary of state."

Catch the difference? The first textimplied possible wrongdoing by Clintonherself; the second did not. And thatwasn't the only significant change thepaper made to the story over the next 48hours — changes that were not readilyapparent to readers viewing it at anygiven moment.

The New York Times first publishedthe story July 23. Editors ultimatelydecided to append two correction notesto the end of the story, one July 25 andanother July 26, after several rounds

gets more than 2 percent in revenue than it planned in atwo-year budget cycle, the surplus heads back to voters.

We like the kicker, but it could use a couple tweaks.The kicker is one way Oregonians put a lid on state

spending. If lawmakers would get more money than theyexpected, they would almost certainly find a way to spendit. With the kicker, it goes back to Oregonians.

The reason Oregon's kicker is not copied in other statesmight be that it is also something of a mess.It creates a difficult guessing game for state officials as

they estimate state revenues. Budgeting state revenuesis tricky enough one year in advance. It's trickier over two

And then there's the way the kicker works. It kicks allthe surplus back, not just the money over the 2 percent.

The state used to send voters a kicker check. Thatchanged in 2011 when the Legislature shifted it to a taxcredit. So don't expect a check in the mail anytime soon.Expect some help on your taxes.

We can't see a big push to get rid of the kicker. It seemstoo popular. But people are constantly looking at changingit. For instance, people have suggested the personal kickerbe dedicated to funding education, which is the way thecorporate kicker works.

We would rather see the kicker changed so it only kicksback the revenues over the 2 percent threshold. That's thewiggle room in the kicker law. It seems odd to kick back the"surplus" revenue the kicker defines as OK to have.

And as much as it creates a hassle for the state, we prefer the state sending Oregonians a check to having to waiton getting a tax credit. We can't say what most Oregonianswould do with their kicker check. But if the state says ithas money due to Oregonians, get it out to them quicklyand directly, not through a tax credit.

of changes. The final correction didn'tappear in print until July 26. A furtherexplanation of the errors appeared inprint July 29.As the paper's public editor, M argaret

Sullivan, stated in her postmortem onthe affair,"you can't put stories like thisback in the bottle — they ripple throughthe entire news system."

That's partly because the onus is onreaders to return to an article for anyupdates or corrections. Anyone whodoesn't check back may blithely sharefalse information on social media, whereit may circulate freely. Indeed, a recentstudy by the American Press Institutefound that"false information on Twitteroverpowers efforts to correct it by a ratioof about 3 to 1." iThat is, there are threetimes as many incorrect tweets as corrective tweets on the same subject.)

I don't mean to pick on The NewYork Times, which is hardly the onlypublication to race to report a story, onlyto change it later without making asincere effort to keep readers up to date.On Aug. 19, for instance, the AssociatedPress published a story about the Irannuclear deal giving the impression thatTehran, rather than the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency, wouldinspect alleged nuclear work sites. Overthe course of the day, however, it deletedmany of the most damning details,without explanation.Errors are inevitable; lack of trans

parency is not. Digital publishing hasmade it possible for editors not only toscrub or enhance stories as they developbut also to pull back the curtain — tomake sure readers see and understandwhat they've done.

Kennedy says Sunday'schange in the weather gavefirefighters a chance to "closedoors on the fire."

Richardson rules out run for governorBEND (APl — Former state Rep. Dennis Richardson

says he won't run again for Oregon governor following hisloss as the 2014 Republican candidate.

The Bend Bulletin reports 4ttp://bit.ly/licSLIC l thatRichardson, a Central Point attorney, lost last year's raceto former Gov. John Kitzhaber by 5 percentage points.

Democratic Gov. Kate Brown stepped into the rolewhen Kitzhaber resigned in February. She is widely expected to run next year to complete Kitzhaber's term, butshe has not confirmed her plans.

Richardson told The Bulletin in an email late Thursdaythat he has no intention of running another statewidecampaign unless he thinks he can win.

"I have been saying foryears it is not a question ofif but when, it will all go up,"he said.

Harvey stands at the helmof a county government thatfaces the task of picking upthe pieces after the fires.

He said the damage isunprecedented.

'This is an historicallevel of devastation in BakerCounty. The worst it has everbeen," he said.

While exact dollar figureson the damage are unknown,Harvey believes local, stateand federal officials shouldact immediately to salvage asmuch of the damaged timberas possible.

Other counties across theWest that endured wildfiresface the same problem:Finding a quick way to get asmuch timber off the scorchedground as possible in theshortest amount of time.

"It will be a race of whocan get their timber cut firstand get it out of the way so itdoesn't create a huge disasterfor the next summer," Harveysald.

He isn't concerned onlyabout the lost opportunity

— Bill Harvey, Baker CountyCommission Chairman

regarding timber. Other questions remain unansweredregarding wildfire damage.

''What do we do with theselands that have no vegetation whatsoever?" Harveysaid."How do we rehabilitatelands without causing moreof a mess? What about thedevastation of wildlife? Allof these issues now affect usimmediately."

Cooperation among agencies at all levels will be critical, Harvey said.

"It is crucial we get helpfrom Congress, state andour county governments tohelp guide the Forest Serviceto do these (timberl salesimmediately," he said.'Youliterally have burned 100,000acres. That has never been inplace before, and it will be anhistorical effort and we reallydon't have the mechanisms todo that right now."

Harvey said salvage logging would address severalproblems at once.

For one, he said, loggingwould remove debris that

could fuel blazes in futureyears.

Second, revenue from salvage logging could be investedin forest restoration projects.

'The federal governmentdoesn't have the money,"Harvey said.

While the value of the firedamaged timber will be lessthan for green timber, Harveysaid there will still be enoughto generate money.

Another problem, heconceded, is that tim ber salesusually aren't large, oftenaround 3,000 acres.

"But we have 100,000acres," Harvey said.'Tentimes what we are used toputting out for sale. It isastronomical to look at it. It isoverwhelming."

The large swath of damaged timber can be traced toone element, Harvey contends.

'There is literally so muchout there because we havenot cut it in so manyyears,"he said.

Harvey said one of the mostdisheartening elements of thewildfires is that, in his view,the scale of the damage couldhave been limited.

'There is devastation outthere we could have avoided,"he said."Now we are playing

catch-up and we are behind.Now the race is how we getthe rest of our forests cleanedup before the same thing happens again," he said.

Harvey said he has discussed the situation with federal officials and he believesthere is strong support locallyfrom federal officials to cleanup the charred forests."They Oocal federal of

ficiaisl would like to. But I

don't know if the feds at theWashington, D.C., level willsupport them," he said.

Harvey said while heunderstands there is a legalprocess to follow regardinglogging, he believes that therecent wildfires inflicted somuch damage that it is timefor federal and local officialsto think outside the box.

'They are saying we gotrules and regulations. I said

t / i

we are way past that," he said.Harvey said there is

evidence that private tim berlands that were logged andthinned did not suffer suchsevere damage.

"But where the federal government said we are not doing it Ooggingl any longer, youhave damage and destruction.You can't ignore a forest for20 years and think it will gounscathed," he said.

Cubs' Arrietano-hits DodgersBy Beth HarrisAP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES — Even after pitching his first careerno-hitter, Jake Arrieta wasn't too big to wear his PJs.

He threw the second no-hitter against the Los AngelesDodgers in 10 days, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 2-0victory Sunday night.

Arrieta was lights-out on the mound, striking out aseason-high 12. He looked ready for lights out afterward,slipping into one-piece pajamas decorated with moustaches for the overnight flight home.

Fitting, since the 29-year-old right-hander had thoughtabout throwing a no-hitter since he was a kid. His grandfather witnessed one of Nolan Ryan's no-hitters in Texas.

'You see other guys around the league do it and youwant to be a part of something like that,"Arrieta said."Soit's not only special for me and my family and friends, butfor the organization and my teammates. They embracedme after the game, and it was extremely special to seehow excited they were for what I was able to do."

Arrieta tossed the sixth no-hitter in the majors this season with the benefit of a close call by official scorer JerryWhite. He charged Starlin Castro with a third-inningerror when Kike Hernandez reached on a one-hopper hitright at the second baseman, although several players onboth sides believed it should have been ruled a hit.

OREGON STATE FOOTBALL

eaversunvei newo ense,newcoor ina orByAnne M. PetersonAP Sports Writer

CORVALLIS — Among the difficult things about remaking OregonState's pro-style offense has beenthe huddle. Or, more specifically, thelack of one.

New offensive coordinator DaveBaldwin has been charged withtaking Oregon State's offense outof Mike Riley's era and remaking itfor new head coach Gary Andersen.That means taking the Beaversfrom a pro-style to a speedy spread.

And that's where the no-huddlecomes in.

'They used to get in the huddleand they were able to terminologize,'This is the play and go,' where asnow we send in the personnel andwe're lining up at the line of scrimmage," Baldwin said."It took thema long time get used to saying, 'OK,we've got to get in there in a hurry,we've got to go,' without the quarterback saying'power-strong-right'or whatever it may be."

Baldwin comes to the Beaversfrom Colorado State, where he was

• Weber State at Oregon State• Friday, 5 p.m. at ReserStadium in Corvallis• TV on Pac-12 Network

BEAVERS OPENSEASON FRIDAY

Rams.None of the players vying to

replace Mannion has any experience in a live college game. Fallcamp started as a three-way battlebetween true freshman Seth Collinsand redshirt freshmen Nick Mitchell and Marcus McMaryion.

Last week, Andersen announcedthat for the time being, the Beavers would play both Collins andM cMaryion. The Beavers open theseason Friday at home against Weber State before heading to Michigan for a game at the Big House inWeek 2.

Baldwin sees the two getting used situationally insteadof intermittently per quarter orhalf. He also said there's a reasonbehind the decision of going with adual-quarterback system: You wantto make sure that once a starter isdecided on, the other one has someexperience if circumstances — likeinjury — merit a change.

''We're so young there, you could

say green behind the ears. No one'sever, ever played in a crowd," Bald

win said."In our second game we'regoing to go in front of 110-114,000people. That's great experience forthese two young men. As we growas an offense and both have played,I'll feel confident that the secondguy can come in and he won't berattled at all."

Collins, who enrolled at OregonState early, in considered a dualthreat QB. He passed for 1,013yards and 12 touchdowns whilerunning for 988 yards and 17 scoresas a high school senior in SanDiego.

McMaryion, who was on thescout team last year, has impressedcoaches with his work ethic. He'salso got a strong arm, and threwfor more than 500 yards in a singlegame during high school.

"It's our responsibility as coachesnot to make it too complex on ayoung quarterback, where he has somany things to process that he can'tshow his athletic ability," Baldwinsaid.'We put in a package and nowas we game-plan we'll try to limit itto what the quarterback does well

and understands, and gives us achance to win the game."

Baldwin has the full support ofAndersen.

''What Dave has done with

quarterbacks throughout his career,I think, gives our quarterbacks agood opportunity to be successfuland they're really good at what theydo,"Andersen said.

Oregon State went 5-7 lastseason under Riley and didn't makethe postseason. When Andersentook over, he had only 11 returningseniors.

The makeover at Oregon Stateisn't solely Baldwin's responsibility, either. The Beavers are alsoswitching up their defense undernew defensive coordinator, KelaniSitake, who held that same job atUtah for the past three seasons.

Baldwin is excited for the nextchapter to start.

"I'm excited. I think our kidsevery day there's something newthey catch on to," Baldwin said."Still, It's a process. But I'm excited.We'll be ready."

the offensive coordinator for threeyears. Corvallis is the latest stop forthe experienced coach, who workedunder Andersen at Utah State from2009-11.

He was among the new stafFhires for Andersen, who took overat Oregon State in December afterRiley surprisingly stepped downto take the top job at Nebraska.Andersen had spent the past twoseasons at Wisconsin.

One of Baldwin's biggest challenges in his first season at OregonState will be at quarterback. SeanMannion, last year's record-settingpasser for the Beavers, has graduated and moved on to the St. Louis

He crossed the line, looked at theclock almost in disbelief — 4:17.52. Only,he didn't have the energy to raise hishands. The only thing he could do wasdrop to the track, where he sprawledacross two lanes. The runners finishingup the event carefully avoided steppingon him.

"I didn't think this thing was possible," Eaton said.

DORY'S DIARY

DQRQTHY SWARTFLESHMAN

T eyearIclim e

Summertime at our house was onegeared to the out-of-doors whether it wasworkingin the yard, tending the garden,or doing deep-down housecleaning andrepair. There was always picnicking,hiking and mountain climbing to beconsidered, so how can I let this summergo by without mentioning the year 1968when I actually climbed StrawberryMountain near Prairie City.

Summer was pretty well over and Ihad once again successfully, I thought,avoided a mountain-climbing expedition. I reckoned, however, without thesunny skies that beckoned the familyon a camping trip over the Labor Dayweekend.

It was the last promise of a family outing before the start of school, and the lastpromise of a family outing mushroomedinto fact, and there I was packed in withthe tent, groceries, family 4usbandGeorge and sons Craig Paul, Terry, andRandy), and Samoyed dog Kris, headedsouth into John Day country in Oregon.

Up until the very last moment, I wassure that the weather would returnto its rainy self and I could spend theweekend cleaning house, ironing, andthinkmg up a feature for the next week'sweekly newspaper, the Eastern OregonReview where I was employed, but at10:30 Saturday morning I resignedmyself to the fact that I was going camping and trying to avoid a dimb up thenearby mountain.The trip fiom La Grande through

Baker City, over Dooley Mountain andinto Prairie City was pleasant enough,but when Strawberry Mountain loomedin the distance, I did a doubletake.

The rest of the family was delightedw ith its forested and shale-covered peakbasking in the sunshine high above thesurrounding mountains. The summitof over 9,000 feet caught at my breathw hile the rest of the travelers assuredme it was just an easy walk to the top.

Since I hadn't thought of myself inrelation to a mountain goat, I indicatedpromptly that the summit would dowithout my presence, but I would walka ways with them.

The sky had clouded over by the nextmorning but plans proceeded throughbreakfast, the packing of our lunch, andthe stringing out of five of us along thetrail. The little walk I had anticipatedwould have been accomplished at a fasttrot if George and I had tried to keep upwith our sons, but we kept a steady pacebehind them while they sprinted aheadand then waited for us at the lake, thefalls, a mile-post sign. Although I huffedand puffed, the walk didn't seem tiringand the scenery was beautiful.The breathing problem finally gave

way to aching muscles in the calves,then the upper portion and, later, thetightening moved around the front ofmy legs. But still we climbed up and up,resting briefly along the way.

Lunch by a creek in an open meadoww as a pleasant experience, but I feltno great desire to stay behind aloneto await the return of my family, so Istruggled once more to my feet and onwe went. Although the climb was everupward, it was not overly difficult, sothere was no excuse to quit yet.

tomato.

don't have to cook to

1

By Daniel NemanSt. Louis Post-Dispatch

A chef friend once told me thathis favorite food is a perfect, ripetomato. It's hard to argue withthat. A tomato has it all: astartling amount of flavorpacked into a drop-deadgorgeous package. Soft,but not too soft. Firm,but not too firm. Justjuicy enough. Andwhen cooked, it goesgreat with spaghetti.For that matter, you l, t % L 4

matoes for them to gogreat with spaghetti.

Try dicing one raw,tossing it with olive oil,red wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar, and servingit with basil leaves over hotpasta.

Tomatoes are perhaps best enjoyed in very near their purest form: ina tomato sandwich. Popular throughoutthe Southeast, tomato sandwiches are a coupleof slices of juicy tomatoes and a slice of sweetonion on squishy white bread isuch as Wonder Tomato TartBread) slathered with plenty of mayonnaiseand seasoned with salt and pepper.

The bread has to be squishy to soak up the juice and to provide asubtle sweetness to balance the tomatoes' acidity. And to be appreciated to its fullest extent, the sandwich should most properly be eatenwhile standing at the sink. Trust me, it tastes better that way.

Other tomato recipes are just as good, but before we get to them wefirst have to clear up something. Yes, a tomato is technically a fruit. Ithas seeds. It comes from a flower. Therefore, it is a fruit.

But let's face it. You don't put it in a fruit salad. You don't serve itwith whipped cream for dessert. You don't put it in a smoothie withpineapples and mangoes.

No, you slice it and stick it on top of a hamburger. For all intentsand purposes, a tomato is a vegetable.

So I put it in a tart. But not a sweet tart; that would be the sort of atart you would make with a fruit fruit, instead of a vegetable fruit.

And it was marvelous, well worth serving to company. Admittedly,it took a bit of work because I made my own crust iand to be perfectlyfrank, I made my own crust twice because I am not notably deft atmaking crusts or, apparently, following directions). But it was wellworth the time and effort. Even the two crusts'worth of effort.

This tart combines a small amount of shredded Gruyere cheese andDijon mustard, which is topped with rounds of tomatoes and slices ofcamembert cheese. But I couldn't find the camembert at two stores, soI just gave up and used brie.

Either way, it was wonderful. You can't go wrong with brie.Equally as wonderful was the big batch I made of tomato soup.

Naturally, you'd think that any soup made with fresh tomatoes wouldhave a particularly fresh taste, but everyone who tried this versionwas amazed at just how fresh a taste it had.

It was so good, a grilled cheese sandwich next to it would feelashamed.

There appear to be three main reasons why this tomato soup is sostunning. The first, of course, is the fresh tomatoes, and lots of themI used 8 to make 10 cups of soup. The second is the use of a lotof onionand a few cloves, giving unexpected depth as a counterpoint to thebrightness of the tomatoes.

And the third reason is that it uses a roux. Nothing like a heartyinfusion of fat, carbohydrates and calories to pep up a soup. You don'ttaste the roux, and the soup does not even seem all that rich. But ittastes so much better than ordinary tomato soup, and I'm guessingthe difference is the roux.

After making two dishes that required some work, I turned myattention to a fast and easy side dish that brings out the best in a

Chefs have long known that tomatoes and balsamic vinegar are anatural pair, like gin and tonic or like chocolate and bananas. Withthis dish, you just saute wedges of tomato in butter until they start tosoften, and then add balsamic vinegar and some minced shallot. Thevinegar blends with the butter — and tomato juices — to form a richglaze that is not too sw eet.

The tomato slices still taste fresh and vibrant, but they are tempered by the balsamic vinegar. It's an elegant dish that takes almostno work to make.

Remove sprig of thyme, garlic and asmany of the cloves as you can easily find. Blend (in batches, if necessary)or run through a food mill. Put mixture in a large bowl.

2. In the empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir inthe flour to make a roux; cook while stirring until the roux is a mediumbrown, about 10 minutes. Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture,so that no clumps form. Stir in the rest of the tomato mixture. Seasonwith salt and sugar, and adjust seasonings to taste.

t. For the dough: Combine theflour, butter and some salt andpepper using a pastry blender or 2knives until the mixture resemblescoarse meal. Mix in 2 tablespoonsof the oil and the water just until

4.While the tart is baking, mix together the olive oil, basil, parsley,thyme and garlic in a small bowl. When the tart has baked for 30 minutes, brush the top of it with 3 to 4 tablespoons of this mixture and returnto the oven to bake an additional 5 minutes. Reserve the rest of the oilmixture for future use.

5. Allow the tart to cool briefly before serving. Serve warm.

pictures of blooms to church onhis camera to show me. Wow, whoknew?

Ann HuSnan had given himthree plants last fall and he isbeyond delighted with them. I'mthinking his wife Lisa must be too.

ary i uscus!Anyway Ann lives just up the streetfrom me and has the most amazing mass ofhardy hibiscus I haveever seen. They are so tall, so pretty,and so prolific. What a show theymake if you crane your neck aroundthe tree out front. iThey are on theright hand side of Mt. Fanny Ave.l

There is another mass of them

along the fence by the driveway andwith those just starting to bloomthey will be gorgeous some quitesome time. I have really never seentheir equal.

I saw some much shorter ones afew years ago when we were traveling, so got some last spring. Minedid OK and by this time of yearwere putting out a few blooms. Mybig mistake was that I put them inpots and they didn't winter through.

That was a sad loss for sure. I planto order some and get them plantedthis fall for a head start.

I had second thoughts onthis, though, after we passedthrough the ghost town of asunbaked driftwood forestand faced an abrupt rise anda thin line up the mountainindicating the trail we wereto follow. My mind said,"stop," but my feet movedonward and up the bank wewent with the family still carrying on their vocal banter ofGetting Mother to the Top.

Oxygen becomes a littlethinner as you climb higherand legs that have knownonly a reporter's beat getweaker. We had climbed thebank and moved onto another grassy plateau whereI would have liked to stay,but the party spirit beganto change into a determinedgoal and out across the faceof the mountain we went,walking on broken bits ofshale. We were crossing thefine line I had seen fromthe highway and above usrose the jagged cliffs of thesummit.

The reluctant mountainclimber moved across theshale with some uncertaintywhile the rest of the familyscampered across like chipmunks. When we reachedthe other side, we wereone-fourth of a mile short ofour goal, and it was upwardon another bed of shale thatshifted beneath my feet.

I had begun to considermy actually reaching the topto share the success withthe family, but my legs werethreatening refusal to putone foot before the other.Standing together on thepeak as a family had finallybecome important and this,coupled with the encouragement of the boys calling fromthe top and George waitingpatiently to make the finalascent together, drove me on.

We moved up the last fewfeet. There should have beena band playing for the excitement displayed upon myarrival, but the tangy taste ofmandarin oranges reservedfor the summit was triumphenough. From the peak theworld lay in miniature, silentin golden light and varyingshadows. It was, indeed, aspecial moment, savored forwhat it meant to us, sharedas a family.

Going up wasn't bad, otherthan the strain on the physical body and mental trepidation, but it was as nothingcompared with the momentof descent. Looking down theshale slopes to tree line andfurther down into the valleybelow was a rather frightening experience, knowing ahelicopter wouldn't suddenlyfly over and remove me frommy lofty perch. It was a long,long way down and I hadto do it, something I hadn'tconsidered.

Picking my way downwardover the loose rocky surfacelooked difficult to be sure, butI was greatly alarmed whenthe decision was reached torun directly down the steepslope rather than traverse byway of the narrow path thathad brought us to the top.The two younger boys, Terryand Randy, took the trail onthe run, but I stood poisedfor the downward flight witha strong hand on each sideof me gripping each of m ywrists.

I wish I might have viewedthe scene from below, forthe three of us glissaded therocky slope by digging in ourheels on the moving shale ateach running step. We mighthave been walking down an

escalator for ease of m otion,but I made the descent with"Oh, dear!""Oh, my!" whileGeorge and Craig Paullaughingly held me upright.

If my legs were weak inclimbing to the top, they werestrong in comparison to the

way they felt when I steppedoff the shale and onto thegreen carpet of the forestlawn.

The climb had not beenmine by choice, but it wasa rewarding experience inthat we had climbed as a

family and their enthusiasmand support had broughtm e safely up and back. Wehad stood on the summit ofStrawberry Mountain, over9,000 feet in elevation. Mylast glimpse of the mountainfrom the retreating highway

taking me home was withawe that I who had climbednothing more than the somuch lesser Table Mountainabove La Grande had stoodon this mountain's highestpoint and survived to tellaboutit.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3), 20)5YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella WilderBorn today, you have been endowed with

tremendous personal energy - the kind thatmay be virtually impossible lo match.Combine that energy with extraordinaryvision and creativity, and you are virtuallyunstoppable! The key is lo chart a course foryourself as early in life as you possibly can,and lo followthat course faithfully- no maller what kinds ofhazards and pitfalls you mayencounter along the way. When all is said anddone, you must be yourself; any attempt lo besomething - or someone — other than whoyou really are will likely come lo nothing, andmay indeed cause you harm of a sort that isnol easy lo shake off. You are stalwart, loyaland hardworking.

TUESDAY, sEPTEMHER )VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You'll want

lo do your job, and onlyyour job. Don't makethe mistake of thinking you should lake oversomeone else's.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - You'll be put

ting yourself in a risky position, bul you maynol recognize il as such until someone elseopens your eyes lo that fact.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — A compromise can be struck that allows you lo make adent in your workload without overtaxingyourself — or anyone else.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You're waitingyour turn, confident that whenil comes, you'll be able lo step up and make adifference. Consider ramifications.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan. 19) - You're

likely lo receive an assignment that has youresearching a certain touchy issue before youcan lry lo get any work done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You maythink that you've made progress recently, bulyou're bound lo realize that there is muchmore you can do - and could have done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You mustn'lstep in and lry lo change the course of thegame — even though you are certain that

some rules are being bent or broken.

ARIES (March 21-Aprit 19) - You're

by Stella Wilder

eager lo keep things close and competitive.Know that things will move quickly, and youmay nol catch every nuance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - This is agood lime for you lo broach a difficult subjectwith a certain family member. He or she isalmost certain lo be on your side.

Some might callyou "judgmental," and others even "intolerant," but the fact is that you are never harsh orunfair in your estimation of others. You seemto have an unusual grasp of other people'sinner workings — what makes them tickand you can use that knowledge for either

good or ill. This, of course, depends entirelyon you! The stars have given you the capacityfor either, and whether you choose to beruled by your better angels or to em brace the

dark side will be more the result of a conscious decision than any invisible influence.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - The choices

TAURUS (Apr!I 20-May20) - You maybetempted by someone who thinks he or sheknows you well, but in fact it will be revealedthat there's a large disconnect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may notknow where the finish line is until you havealready crossed it, so be sure to keep up the

pace until you know you've won!CANCER (June 21-July 22) - You can put

things together in a way that reveals anentirelynew"bigpicture." This revelation willsoon be quite valuable.

LEO (July23-Aug. 22) - You want to giveyourself choices that can each lead to a positive outcome. Avoid going through doorsobscured by any sort of mystery.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Youare not able to understand every little thingthat goes on around you, but you'll grasp themain points and be influenced rightly.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan. 19) - It's notnecessary for you to understand another's

TROPICAL STORM ERIKADaughter deep in debt needscounseling, not more money

DEAR ABBY: Three years ago I gavemy adult daughter, marrt'ed with a child,more than$16,000 to help pay ofj"her debtsbecause she couldn't pay her bills. She andher husband maintain separate accounts,which I ftnd odd. He pays certain expenses;she pays others. Now I ftnd she's deep in debtagain and needs more help.

I'm 69, marrt'ed and retired. We have somesavings and I'd like to helpher. However, I'm afraid ifItake more money out of oursavings, we may not haveenough to cover an emergencyorifeitherofus needs nursing home care.

Sheisagood and loving daughter, andIfeel bad that I may not be able to help her. Doyou see any solution to my problem?

DEAR DENNIS: You must stop enablingyour adult daughter. Rather than offer moreof your savings, it's important to find out whatis causing her spending problem. iDrugs? Depression? A shopping addiction?) Then steerher and her husband to a credit counselingorganization that can help her without placingyour future welfare injeopardy.

Legitimate credit counseling firms areatftliated with the National Foundation forCredit Counseling, the Association of CreditCounseling Professionals, or the Associationof Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies. This isn't your problem, and itshouldn't be. You have done enough.

DEARABBY: Last weekend we had ourchildren and grandkids over for a family birthday. We looked after the children,cooked, waited on everyone and cleaned upafterward while the adults sat texting orplaying on their cellphones.

Abby, this is not so much a question asan observation for anyone of any age who isinvited to visit someone's home:

Spending time on the cellphone ratherthan socializing is rude. It says our companyis not valued. It says that neither we noryour children are important enough for yourattention. It teaches children that it isn'tnecessary to be social, offer to help clear thetable, or be gracious and appreciative whensomeone prepares a mealfor them.

DEAR DISCONNECTED: Now thatyou have vented, may Ipose a question? While your

DEAR children were sitting on theirABBY fanni es after the meal, did

you or your spouse tell themyou needed help, that their

children needed minding and that theirbehavior was rude? Because if you didn't,please recognize that the behaviors youdescribed do not spring up overnight, andyou may be partly responsible for how yourchildren turned out.

"Not inviting them for a long time" isn'tthe answer, because they may not get the"hint." If you say what's on your mind, youmay startle them into modeling betterbehavior for their children before it's toolate. Putting into words how their behaviormade you feel would be more direct andm ore effective.

DEAR ABBY: I have a question I havenever seen addressed before. I have a lotof collectible toys stored in my attic that Ibought for my stepson more than 80 yearsago. Now that he knows they're worth money— which he doesn't need — he wants meto return them so he can sell them. Is heentitled to demand them back?

DEAR STEPDAD: I think so. When thetoys were given to him, they became hisproperty. On the other hand, because theyhave been in your attic all these years, itseems only fair that you be compensated forthe"storage fees."

Whatever is decided, I hope it won't causea rift in your family.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail VanBuren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, andwas founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.comor PO. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA90069.

The visit left a bitter taste, and it will be along time before we invite our children andgrandchildren to our home again. I knowcellphones are part of our culture, but adultsstill have thepower tochoose whatisimportant and turn them ofP

"It's a very daunting task,"

said opposition leader Lennox Linton, who met withSkerrit.'The country hasbeen significantly set back."At least 20 people were

still missing in the southeastvillage of Petite Savanne, oneof the hardest hit areas.

"They are not expected tobe found," Linton said, warning that the number of deadand missing would likely rise.Dozens of injured were stillbeing airlifted to the hospitalin the capital of Roseau.

Among those receivingcare was Richard Baron, a51-year-old mechanic whowas swept away in a floodwith his son as they scoopedmud out of their home.

"He shout, 'Daddy, Daddy!Daddy, Daddy! When I lookup, I see the whole mountainand everything was comingdown toward us," he said.

Baron said he managedto grab onto a tree and thenonto his son.

As Dominicans struggledwith the loss of family andproperty, they heeded Skerrit's advice to help each other.Go-fast boats zipped

around Dominica, carryingrescuers and those seekingto reach relatives trapped inisolated communities.

Young men around Roseaufanned out to assist neighbors and clear roads, saidThomas Holmes, a guidancecounselor who has beenmeeting with victims he saidare numbed by the disaster.

''We assumed we'd be getting some rain, but not forthat duration," he said."It hitDominica for over 11 hours."

Oflicials said the floodingwas destructive in part becausethe small island has 365 riversas well as several lakes andwaterfalls. The main airportremained closed, dozens ofbridges have been washed out.
