SALEM — At least four of Oregon'sdistrictattorneys don't know whether thegl prosecutepending pot offensesthat would be legalif committedafterpossession by adults becomes legal on July 1, 2015, according to a survey by The (Bendl Bulletin.

With the passage of Measure 91, Oregon became the fourth statetolegalize marijuana possession and to createguidelines fora new industry that will take shape in January 2016. That has brought questions from allcorners ofstate and local government.

Among other questions, many of which will be addressed by the Legislature next year, is what will happen to the marijuana cases and citations that will no longer be illegal in July. Many of the state's 36 district attorneys say the question isn't at the top of their list.

"I'm trying to find out how many cases I've got pending," said Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier, who added that the cases might help make his decision. "Somebody told me m aybe wehave two that are just marijuana-type cases."

The Bulletin asked every district attorney, including incoming Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel, where they stood on prosecuting past and future marijuana cases. Twentyeight answered the survey.

pending legislation, will meet in Gleneden Beach beginning Wednesday.

Frasier, who has served as theassociation's president this year and sets the agendaforthe semiannual meeting, said he didn't expect marijuana to be a big talking point.

"Frankly, when it comes to what the individual DAs are going to do, I know the association basically is going to say it's up to the individual DA to decide what they're going to do," he said.

Still, the attorneys at the meeting, which isn't open to the press or public, will likely face questions as the group discusses its legislative priorities.

Marquis said he planned to discuss other counties' plans at the meeting.

While the state's liquor commission is tasked with creating guidelines for licensing the industry, lawmakers will face the brunt of the uncertainty head-on starting early next session.

M embers of a task force that met in late November had no shortage of questions, with some legislators expressing dismay that voterspassed the statute and others saying they preferred a stronger state presence when the marijuana industry takes off in 2016.

"I'm not totally convinced that it wouldn't make more sensetojustoperatelikew e do liquorsales,letthe state be in the middle," Sen. Lee Beyer, D-Eugene, said. "It's not what the voters voted for,but again it's one ofthose things I think we may be abletooperate a system faster without the problems Washington and Colorado had by going that route."

According to Bruce Dunn, chairman of the Wallowa County Natural Resource Advisory Committee, the draft is shorter than most environmental impact statements, with limited repetition and an absence of flowery language.

"Overall, it is probably the best environmental document I've read in a long time," Dunn said.

43.9 percent.

Marquis, who said his office has filed two marijuana cases this year and has 20 more pending, said he would review those cases and address any future ones on a case-by-case basis.

Underhill said he would drop 21 open cases and 29 warrants, and he will avoid prosecuting future cases "absent exceptional circumstances."

Outgoing Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty passed the question off to incoming DA John Hummel, who said he will decide the first week of December what he will do.

The lack of unity among the state's district attorneys contrasts with their opinions prior to the election, when a Bulletin survey found all 36 attorneys opposed the measure, including Underhill and Foote.

A group that included the measure's chief petitioner, Anthony Johnson, Becky Straus from the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon and former prosecutors,wrote an open letter to district attorneys Nov. 20, asking them to drop cases.

Johnson called it a "positivedevelopment" that eight ofthe responding district attorneys said they'd take a case-by-case approach.

"This can have a great impact on many peoples' lives.

There could be instances where someone goes from being charged with a felony to amisdemeanor," Johnson said."That can greatly improvetheirchances to get a job, education and housing opportuniti es."

The Oregon District Attorney Association, which meets to discuss issues and

say they're undecided.

Four district attorneys, Rod Underhill from Multnomah County, John Foote from Clackamas County, Bob Hermann from Washington County and Everett Dial from Curry County, have decided they will drop cases in which crimes or citations would no longer be illegal under the newly passed law.

Residents in those Portland metro counties voted in favorofthemeasure, asdid Curry County voters.

Some otherdistrictattorneys kept open the option of dropping or revising charges.

Many said they are taking cues from county voters in making their decisions. The electedattorneys in rural counties that mostly rejected the measure largely said they would continue prosecuting as usual until the law changes next July. ''We have so few cases out here that what I'll probably do is continue the status quo until the 2015 changes," said Matt Shirtcliff, district attorney in Baker County in Eastern Oregon. "I've got to go throughthem and look and see if there's anything that we would treat differently."

Others said they have m ore important casesto focus on, and more still said marijuana just isn't a big partofthe caseload in their counties.

"I'm not aware of anyone in prison in Oregon who wouldn't be even if Measure 91 was in effect, which it isn't until July 1, 2015," said Josh Marquis, the Clatsop County district attorney who was also an outspoken opponent of the ballot measure thatpassed 56.1 percent to

%RVICE CHVCKu, SVT l LfKENY c8lYINt „,

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Jackson County voters, the vast majority of them, voted this spring to bar farmers from growing genetically engineered crops within the county's boundaries.

That's their right, but in the process they've createdwhat could be a huge burden for county government.

That became clear when two alfalfa farmers filed suit recently seeking either to keep the ban from being enforced or to be compensated for their losses if they're forced to remove their Roundup-ready alfalfa.

The lawsuit seeks $4.2 million in damages if they must do the latter.

If that sounds like a huge sum for a load ofhay, there's good reason for the number. Together Schulz Family Farms and James and Marilyn Frink have about 300 acres in alfalfa, a plant that produces for 10 yearsor so before itm ust be replaced.

They will be able to harvest several tons ofhay per acre this summer, all things being equal, and prices for that hay are particularly strong right now$275 per ton or more.

Moreover, when the alfalfa's gone they must plant something far less valuable for at least four years to assure that no wayward alfalfa makes its way into fields.

We can understand why county officials might not want to shell out more than $4 million to the two farmers. Jackson is an ORC Lands county, and its revenues from that land have fallen from more than

$17 million for the year 2000 to about $5.6 million for 2013. It has financial problems to deal with even without the current lawsuit.

At the same time, neighbors of the Frinks and Schulzes have effectively taken their livelihood from them both next year and for some years to come.

Surely they should not be expected to accept a loss they'll suffer through no fault of their own. They

should be paid.

There are no real winners in this mess, unfortunately. If the court overturns the voter-approved ban, those voters lose. If the farmers fail to prevail in their lawsuit, they lose money and the ability to recover quickly from the loss. And if the county loses, it, too, is out a chunk of money that it simply doesn't have.

CHRIS GIBBONS

people!"

It was the early 1980s, and Dad was watching a news program that showed an infamous incident from the Vietnam War. The video is chilling. A Viet Cong prisonerstands along a roadside, his hands tied behind his back. A South Vietnamese officer positions himself next tothe prisoner,raises his pistol, and fires a point-blank shot into the man's head. His lifeless body crumples to the ground.

Dad cursed again. "That wasn't right," he shouted. His hands were trembling.

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the awarding of a Pulitzer Prize for the photo of South Vietnamese Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing VietCong officer Nguyen Van Lem. Associated Press photographer Eddie Adams and an NBC cameraman filmed the execution. Adams' still picture appeared on the front pages of newspapers and evening news telecasts across the nation, outraging the public.

Adams came to regret the damage that the photograph did to Loan. The Viet Cong prisoner who was shot was reportedlypart ofa "death squad" that targeted the families of South Vietnamese policemen. According to witnesses, the prisoner was captured near a ditch where 34 bound and shot bodies of policemen and their families were found.

Adams later said, "I killed the general with my camera. Still photographs are the most powerful weapons in the world. People believe them; but photographs do lie, even without manipulation. They are only half-truths.... What the photograph didn't say was, 'What would you do if you were the general at that time?'"

Adams later apologized to Loan and his family.

Loan eventually escaped Vietnam, and opened a pizza restaurant in northern Virginia. Unfortunately, he

couldn'tescape his past.Word got out about who he was, and he had to closethe restaurant because ofthe negativepublicity.He died ofcancer in 1998, leaving a wife and five children. Adams sent flowers and a note saying, "I'm sorry. There are tears in my eyes."

As for Dad's reaction that day, I assumed that, as for so many Americans then, that execution in Saigon was the final straw. Seeing the video was a reminder of the bitterness and anger that the conflict generated.

Many years later, I found out there was more to Dad's outburst.

We had a quiet moment alone in 2008 on the 55th anniversary of the end ofthe Korean War, and I asked him if he could tell me of his worst experience during that war. He said it wouldbe too difficultto describe the worst, but there was one incident that continued to haunt him.

Shortly after his company had set up a defensive perimeter around their base in South Korea, two frightened and dirty Chinese prisoners were brought before a company sergeant. This sergeant was a World War II veteran, someone my father and the other young soldiers in his company looked up to."We were very young, and often scared," Dad told me."But he helped us get through some of the toughest times during the war."

The sergeant needed to understand how the two Chinese soldiers had gotten through the U.S. lines, so he could strengthen the perimeter. If they escaped and revealed the weakness to the enemy, the lives of his men could be at risk.

"Ask them how they got through!" he barked to the interpreter. The prisoners replied that they didn't "get through," but were separated from their outfit, and simply hid in covered foxholes when the Americans

es

moved into the area. The American soldiers unknowingly piled the dirt and barbed wire right on top of them, and the prisoners simply climbed out later and surrendered.

"I don't believe them. Ask them again!" the sergeant shouted as he raised his rifle and pointed it at one prisoner's head. My father believed the prisoners and he was shaken by the scenario being played out in front of him and his fellow soldiers. Again, the frightened prisoners told the same story.

The sharp sounds of gunshots echoed across the Korean sky, and two lif eless bodies crumpled to the ground.

"It wasn't right," my Dad said softly, as he remembered the incident and vacantlystared ahead. Inoticed that his hands were slightly trembling.

I first wrote this story down in 2008, and sent a copy to Dad to ensure that my facts were correct.

After reading it, he immediately called me and told me that he didn't want it published. One of the soldiers who witnessed the incident in Korea with him was severely traumatized by it."He was never the same again, he had a lot of issues from it," Dad said. He told me that even after they returned home, his friend continued to struggle and the remainder of his life was difficult. Dad worried that his friend would be upset ifhe saw the story in the newspaper.

Dad passed away earlier this year.

Before he died, I asked him if I could ever publish the story. He didn't mention his friend this time, possibly because the man had passed away.

Dad simply said, "When I'm long gone." That's when it finally occurred to me that there were actually two soldiers who witnessed that execution in Korea who were never the same again.

Good news for forests, biomass industry Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: A new approach to measuring some carbon emissions is good news for Oregon's forests and biomass industry.

An Environmental Protection Agency memo revealed last week that the agency is taking a more thorough look at the carbon emissions that come from forest products. If the new calculations survive into a final ruling, forest and biomass industry jobs could follow, along with better ways to thin forests and cut wildfire risk.

As Bulletin reporter Andrew Clevenger wrote Thursday, the positive news came in a memo to EPA's regionalairdirectors from Janet McCabe,acting assistant administrator

•

for the Oflice of Air and Radiation.

She wrote the agency is considering information that shows some forest byproducts don't add to carbon emissions if the full context is considered.

W aste products from logging are often burned onsite ifno good alternative exists, producing the same amount of carbon emission as if they were taken to a mill and turned into wood pellets.

Making the pellets, however, has other benefits in energy production and job creation.

Also, in a sustainable, managed forest,some ofthatcarbon isreabsorbed by the trees. That tips the balance in favorofbiomass over even relatively clean natural gas.

The memo provides encouragement

for the biomass industry, but also is likely to make forest thinning more feasible, with benefits for healthy forests and fire control.

It's heartening to see the EPA recognize the complexity of these factors in forest management and carbon emissions and see ways for apparently competing interests to work together.

Oregon and other Western states need to find ways to put their natural resourcesto work to createjobsand products, but alsoto clearovergrown forests and reduce emissions. This emerging understanding of the environmental effects could help create the regulatory framework to make that

possible.

Kessler's TQslea

By Greg Beacham AP Sports VVrlter

LOSANGELES—After a tumultuous season oflastsecond losses and big-game disappointments, Southern California took the Coliseum field playing only for respectand history against Notre Dame.

That's more than enough motivation in this famed rivalry, and Cody Kessler put his name into Irish football lore while he led the Trojans' romp.

Kessler passed for 372 yards and threw two ofhis six touchdown passes to George Farmer, propelling USC to a 49-14 victory over Notre Dame on Saturday in the 85th edition of the intersectional matchup.

Adoree Jackson, Darreus Rogers and Nelson Agholor also caught TD passes in a dynamic first half for the

Trojans (8-4l, who jumped to a35-0 lead in the second quarter and spent the secondhalfcelebrating a big finish to a wild autumn.

"When everyone is in

tune,thisoffense iscapable of anything," Kessler said. cYou saw it today."

USC easily reclaimed the Jeweled Shillelagh after two straight losses to the Irish, piling up 577 yards against Notre Dame's injuryplagued defense. The Trojans celebrated on the field, with the seniors and select underclassmen — including defensive lineman Leonard Williams — climbing a ladder to lead the USC band.

"Our future is ridiculously bright," said USC coach Steve Sarkisian, who won his first shot at Notre Dame. cWe're going to be really good, and we're not going anywhere."

With Kessler's secondhalf scoring throw to Randall Telfer, Notre Dame yielded six touchdown passes for the first time in the program's 127-year history.

That defensive low caps a miserable second-half slide for the Irish (7-5l, who have lost five of their last six games.

PORTLAND — Even LaMarcus Aldridge didn't feel well.

Fending off a cold, Aldridge nonetheless had 26 points and 15 rebounds in Portland's 107-93 victory Sunday night over the Timberwolves, a game where the ill and injured seem to outnumber the healthy.

The Timberwolves used just 10 players and two of them, Andrew Wiggins and Mo Williams, played even though they were ailing.

Despite being shorthanded, they still kept the Blazers offbalance.

'They were in a zone and we just didn't do a good job reading it,"Aldridge said.

Wesley Matthews added 23 points fortheBlazers, including six 3-pointers for his third straight game with at least five 3-pointers.

The Blazers led by as many as 16 points in the second

half.

Huskies kee CUP wit win

By Jason Chatraw Associated Press

BOISE — During Boise State's last run at a major bowl appearance in 2010, several national media members expressed their support for the Broncos by talking about riding the Boise State Bus. In 2014, the Broncos are riding a train toward a possible New Year's Day bowl berth — more specifically, the J-Train.

Jay Ajayi rushed for a career-high 229 yards and five touchdowns as the Broncos crushed Utah State 50-19 on Saturday night and secured a spot in the Mountain West title game next week.

The Broncos' recent run at an access slot in a New Year's Day bowl game seemed improbableatthe end of September when Boise State was 3-2, following a crushing loss to Air Force, but Ajayi said the Broncos neverlosttheirfocus.

"The feeling around the facility was that we could get this kind of season done," Ajayi said. Where we're at right now is not surprising to any of us, and we're excitedto be in this spot.

"But we're not worried about ithe bowl), our goal is to win the Mountain West championship."

The Broncos i10-2, 7-1l won their 13th straight home game and will host Fresno State for the conference championship on Saturday.

Boise State safety Darian Thompson makes an interception against Utah State Saturday. dropped its first November road game since 2009 and failed to return to the conferencetitlegame after representing the Mountain Division last year.

"This was a very, very disappointing loss," Utah State coach Matt Wells said.

"It was very uncharacteristic of us. We didn't have the answers, starting with me. We didn't execute enough and didn't play physical enough."

NBA

With the division title on the line in a game that boasted the Mountain West's top offense in Boise State and top defense in Utah State, the matchup was decisively one-sided.

Boise State racked up 498 total yards and scored touchdowns on its first five possessions as it had its way against the nation's fifth-best scoring defense.

PULLMAN — Early in the fourth quarter any doubt whether Washington would retain the Apple Cup was gone. The question was if Mike Leach was about to be shut out for the first time in his coaching career.

That's how dominant the Huskies were, turning a chilly night on the Palouse intoan impressive 31-13 romp overWashington State to cap Chris Petersen's first regular season at Washington with his 100th career victory.

Dwayne Washington rushed for 135 yards and touchdown runs of 51 and 60 yards for the Huskies, his third straight game reaching the 100-yard mark. But his big game was secondary to the performance by the Huskies defense.

The Huskies i8-5, 4-5 Pac-12l erased the sour memories of their trip to Pullman two years ago when Washington State rallied from 18 points down in the fourth quarter for an overtime victory.

The 107th meeting between the rivals was the coldeston record with a temperatureof19 degrees for the 7:30 p.m. PST kickoff.

PORTLAND — The Marc and Mike show is sweeping the West.

Marc Gasol had 26 points and nine assists, while Mike Conley added 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies held off the TrailBlazers 112-99 on Friday night to snap a nine-game Portland winning streak.

Conley fell one assist short of atriple double and the Grizzles remained unbeaten in 10 games against Western Conference foes. Memphis has lost just two of 16 games this season for the NBA's best overall record i14-2l. cWe really know each other," Gasolsaid about Conley.cWe've pretty much seen any kind of defense you can throw at us, so we pretty much have counters for everything. Once we make a couple of jumpers you have to totally change your scheme and play us a different way."

Conley echoes the sentiment.

"Me and the big fella have known each other for a long time," he said.aWe know how each other love to play and he's so unselfish, he's fun to play with. I know where he wants the ball and he knows where I want the ball so we don't even have to speak to each other."

Wesley Matthews scored 26 points for the Blazers, who lost just their second game at home. LaMarcus Aldridge added 19 points and 10 rebounds.

"It's just one game. We can't let this set us back like it's the end of the world."

Matthews said.

CENTER 'Ain't nuthin'better than a beaver tail, 'cept maybe bison tongue."

— Jeremy Martin portraying Mountain Man Joe Meek.

Continued from Page1A Depictions of pioneer camps complete with musket-toting pioneer men and Dutch ovens suspended over fires, Native Americans, wagons and more conveyed detailed images of what it was like for those who settled the west and the adventure they experienced on the way there.

As families wind their way through the exhibits, they experience beautiful artwork, fantastic videosand descriptive audio along with quotes and stories &om those that struggled their across the continent.

A skit featuring Mountain Man Joe Meek was apopular attraction.

Park Ranger Jeremy Martin portrayed the mountain man.

A crowd ofabout 25 people attended the morning show featuring the leather-clad character.

"Ain't nuthin' better than a beaver tail, 'cept maybe bison tongue," said Martin &om the stage as he portrayed Joe Meek.

The crowd chuckled and watched the mountain man intently as they listened to tales of American Indian attacks, fur trapping and other pioneer adventures.

Martin explained that Meek brought the first wagon to the Willamette Valley.

M eek was essentialtotheterritory'ssettlem ent. He traveled backward acrossthetrail

to Washington D.C. ''When he returned to the nation's capitol, Meek petitioned the president to officially declare Oregon a territory of the United States," said Martin,"so they could be protected by federal troops."

Martin said he was successful and that was a serious step forward in the settlement of Oregon. Without this protection many pioneers might have been attacked and killed

by Native Americans.

Martin also performs Joe Meek skits for schools and other institutions for &ee as long as it' sforeducational purposes.

M artin has been a Mari ne,a fi refighter and a National Park Service ranger. He doesn't regrethiscareerchoice atalloreven seeitas employment except that he gets paid.

"I don't know what real work is like," Martin said."I made the decision that I'm gong to do what I love."

Working on a project to create air fresheners Friday during Family Fun Day at the OregonTrail lnterpretive Center are, near to far, Julian Gately, Krista Gatley, Shyann Scott and Richard Scott. The activity required participants to insert cloves, and lots of them, into an orange to create what was called an orange clove pomander.

The results must be given to the Secretary of State'soffice by Dec. 12.

A press releasefrom Brown's office stated each county clerk must appoint counting boards of four electors qualified to vote in the county. Members of these boards cannot have been a candidate in the 2014 General Election. All members of the board cannot belong tothe same political party.

LAME-DUCIC LAWMAICERSRETURN TOWASHINGTON AS FINAL DAYS OFTERM APPROACH

ByAndrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON iAPl — Lame-duck lawmakers return to Washington on Monday facing a stacked agenda and not much time to get it all done before the new Congress convenes in January and a Republican takeover is complete.

Their to-do list includes keeping the government running into the new year, renewing expired tax breaks forindividualsand businessesand approving a defense policy measure that has passed for more than 50 years in a row. They hope to get it all done in two weeks without stumbling into a government shutdown.

Also pending are President Barack Obama's requests for money to combat Islamic State militants, battle Ebola and deal with an influx of unaccompanied Central American children who have crossed into the U.S. Among the lower profile items on the agenda are renewing the government's terrorism risk insurance program and extending the ban on state and federaltaxeson accessto the Internet.

Obama's move to protect millions of immigrants fiom deportation proceedings and make them eligible for work permits appears to have made it more difficult to navigate the must-do items through a Capitol where cooperation already is in short supply.

The No. 1 item is preventing a government closure when a temporary funding measure expires on Dec. 11. The House and Senate Appropriati ons committees are negotiating a $1 trillion-plus spending bill for the budget year that began Oct. 1 and are promising to have it ready by the week of Dec. 8.

The tax-writing committees are trying to renew a bundle of expired tax breaks such as the deductions for stateand localsalestaxes and the research and experimentation credit.

Some, like tax credits for renewable energy projects such aswind farms, are ahard sellfor GOP conservatives but are eagerly sought by Midwestern Republicans such as Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa.

The House has passed legislation that would make several of the tax breaks permanent; the Senate's approach has been to extend them only for 2014 and 2015. Negotiatorsappeared closeto an agreement lastweek only to have the White House put it on ice with a veto threat. The administration said an emerging plan by House Republicans and top SenateDemocrats was tilted toofarin favor of businesses.

The president's authority to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels to fight Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria expires Dec. 11.

Lawmakers probably will renew it while postponing action until 2015 on a broader, new authorization to use military force.

read: "Endangered? No. Dangerous? Yes. Good for Washington? Absolutely Not!" Pictured is a snarling wolf.

Wolves kill livestock, endanger elk populations and pose athreat to the public, group spokeswoman Jamie Henneman said. ''We feel there is not a broad enough awareness about the impact of wolves in Washington state," Henneman said."There has been some iawarenessl with the impact on livestock, but the impact is much, much greater."

Ecologists dispute that claim, saying wolves are scared ofhumans and are crucial to the habitat."They want people to think that these wolves are dangerous," population ecologistOz Garton said.

Among the most disputed aspectsofthe campaign is the claim that wolves are not native to the area and competewith other predators for scant resources. ''We have this non-native species coming in and disturbing this," she said.'We appreciatethe predators as a really important role in the ecosystem ... ibutl we already have this handled in Washington."

Wildlife officials have repeatedlysaid the species of gray wolf introduced, canis lupus, is the exact species that once thrived in the Northwest.

The debate over wolves illustrates a divide in the Pacific Northwest between ruralareas further eastand populous urban areas near the Pacific Ocean. Rural ranchers and residents say their more liberal counterparts in cities don't understand the realities ofliving among wolves, including the danger to the public and livestock.

Advocates ofwolves reply thatthearea istheir native habitat, and wolves have a positiveimpact on areas where elk would otherwise destroy grassland. Garton said habitat is the primary driver for changes in elk population and location, followed by the impact of wolves.

"Hunters pick on the wolvesas the problem, which is really not true," Garton said.

DORY'S DIARY

EasyPost -IhanKsoiuinIMeals

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Letit snow! I'll stay ome It snowed.

That may be an understatement, for it was mid-November and the newspaper said that"the first winter storm of the season was a big one" and that our 7 inches broke our 26-year-old mark, 8 inches having fallen in 1985 and only 1 inch in 1988.

It started snowing while I was in town and, in driving home, I noticed that the streets were already slick. By nightfall the snow was coming down fiercely with gusty winds and the forecast was for more of the same on Friday.

I was disappointed. Somebody hated me. It wasn't supposed to snow until after Friday, for our Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) meeting was to be held in Baker City and a group of us were planning to be there.

And, of course, bad roads didn't seem the time to be going that direction with everyone fighting for travel — big trucks, fast cars, blinding flakes and gusty winds.

Surely the car wouldn't be going to Baker City from La Grande.

Oh, yes, it was, but not with me aboard.Itseemed the better partof valor to stay out of everyone else's way who was working with emergency vehicles, snow ploughs, etc., in order to getnecessary travel safely from one point to another. It was my duty to stay home. In other words, I'm a coward.

While our local ladies undertook the perilous journey, not knowing how their return trip would be as well as goingover,Idecided that Ishould do something helpful for our Lone Pine Tree Chapter so that I wouldn't feel too guilty about not being as brave as my compatriots. We had a bazaar coming up in Baker City later in the month, so I decided I would try to make something they could sell, thereby not being a totallossto thegroup.

As everyone knows, I save things just in case I might need them sometime down the line. Well, this was one of those times when I decided I wouldn't let my knitting and crochet yarn just sit there in strings, doing nothing to help folks. So, I began my digging and came up with what I could use fruitfully.

Now, don't you men turn away because I'm talking about bringing out knitting needles or crochet hooks.

The real men of you will know what I am talking about and others can liken it to something with which they are familiar, like fishing line, perhaps.

Anyway, I wanted to make something that wouldn't take a lot of time and yet would interest buyers. In my searchfor a project,Ifound a picture of what I wanted to make but no directions. As long as I had the picture, maybe I could design it myself.

Now, in my cupboard of yarn boxes, Ifound donated yarn,a Country Blue color, with enough yarn to make all kinds of scarves. The skein was marked as having 364 yards on the wrapper, partly used, and another almost full skein wrapped around the outside. I was delighted.

Because of the design of the scarf I planned to make, it was necessary to use a crochet hook rather than knitting needles, so I hunted about and found what I needed.

Then, after a quick breakfast and with enthusiasm in that I wouldn't be a total loss to the Chapter to which I belonged(and to saveface),Isetabout my task. Crochet a chain, turn, work back across the row, continue on for another 17 rows, pleased as punch to be contributing.

That's when it happened.

I ureO erOa iS ar OreSiS Dale is a lot like his / grandfather in that he never saw a road he didn't want to explore. So when in September he decided it was time to take the Casita (our mini-trailer) for a spin I knew that we were destined for an adventure.

Our journey actually started with a trip to Caldwell, Idaho, where we attended a reception at the College of Idaho celebrating the life of one of Dale's favorite professors on the anniversary of his 110th birthday. That night we parked at the Ambassador R.V. Resort just outside Caldwell. It providedwhat RVers appreciate most — cleanliness and quiet.

The next day we drove east on Highway 44 then 16 and 52 to 55 for the first leg of our trip to Canada. I mention all of this because there is a much faster route, but

I had been writing about this beautiful interesting area, that I have to admit I was enjoying, thinking that it was my first trip over this road when Dale reminded me of a trip in 1997 over this very same road. On that trip instead of going on 95 north from New Meadows we headed south and then west on 71 toward Oxbow Dam, Halfway, and home. Believe me, timing is everything! Had Dale mentioned this earlier trip while on the September one he would have been traveling with one upsetwoman — at leastfor alittle while.

So what was so different? In 1997, we had gone to Germany and purchased a zippy little car which had to be crated and shipped to the United States. We waited nearly three months before we were notified of its arrival in Boise and that it was ready to be picked up. Some friendsdrove us over totakepossession of the new car.

Not so. It must have had two wrong ends.

I must admit that I may be a coward but I do have "tenacity" and this was an occasion to use it. While the DAR ladies met and worked to dogood things,Istruggled near the fire ofbattle to make one large doll-sized head of rolled blue spaghetti yarn into a ball.

He had assured me that it would not be that much longer than the usual Boise trip and I bought into it.

Did I say that we were destined for adventure at the beginning of this article? Well, that day in 1997 was truly an adventure for both of us. It went on for miles and miles and everything looked dangerous and unappealing to me plus our gas tank indicator was going down. By the second half, when we were on 71, it was getting dark, we had no food, and there were few towns, all of which were small and closed up for the night. A three-hour trip had turned into a seven- or eight-hour ordeal with one happy driver and one very unhappy passenger.

sweet potatoes • Yams are not the same vegetable ByAndrea Weigl The News Ilt Observer (Raleigh, N.C.) TNS

Hillsborough, N.C., cookbook author April McGreger wants to settle the confusion about yams and sweet potatoes.

First, McGreger says, they are not the same vegetable.

Sweet potatoes are grown in the U.S. Yams are a tropical plant, grown in Africa and Asia, and they look much different &om sweet 'Anythingyou can make with

pot»es "Unless it's bufF-

potatoes, you can make with yy

coloredthe sizeof sweetP otatoes. a football and hairy, — April McGreger, "Sweet Potatoes" it is a sweet potato" cookbook author

said McGreger, who has just published her first cookbook, "Sweet Potatoes," part of the UNC-Press Savor the South cookbook series.

McGreger, 38, knows her sweet potatoes. She grew up in Vardaman, Miss., self-described Sweet Potato Capital of the United States. iTake that North Carolina! l She was never crowned Miss Sweet Potato, but her brother and fatherare or havebeen sweet potatofarmers.iTriangle residents may know McGreger for her artisan pickles and preserves sold under the Farmer's Daughter Brand at local farmersmarkets and stores.)

So why do folks get yams and sweet potatoes mixed up?

'Yam is a vernacular term for sweet potato," McGreger scud.

When West Alricans were forced into slavery and brought to the U.S., they were familiar with yams, and sweet potatoes were the only comparable substitute in the New World. Hence, sweet potatoes became called by the same name.

The yam misnomer became further entrenched in the 1930s when the U.S. Department of Agriculture allowed Louisiana farmers to market their sweet potatoes as yams.

W ith sweet potatocasserolesand piestobe featured on holiday tables, McGreger wants home cooks to know that sweetpotatoes lend themselves tosavory dishes asw ell.

"Anything you can make with potatoes, you can make with sweetpotatoes,"she said.

Try sweet potato latkes, sweet potato hash browns or even sweet potato fiies, she suggested. Among the 50 recipesin her cookbook are roasted sweet potato with crispykale,sweet potatochilerellenos and sweet potato hummus.

Here's one key tip from McGreger: Buy dirty sweet potatoes. Unwashed, cured sweet potatoes, which are more likely to be found at local farmers markets, will keep for months in a cool, dark place that doesn't get below 55 degrees.

But thosewashed sweet potatoes sold atthegrocery store will only last a few weeks.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND CRISPY KALE From "Sweet Potatoes: A Savor the South Cookbook," by April McGreger (UNC Press, 2014).

3 medium sweet potatoes, about 1 "/E pounds, preferably slender, unpeeled and scrubbed 4 shallots, sliced in half lengthwise 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 "/E teaspoons kosher salt /2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Big pinch of cumin Pinch of cinnamon Pinch of crushed red pepper 2 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 bunch of curly or red Russian kale, washed and torn into 2- to 3-inch pieces, thick stems discarded 2 garlic cloves, sliced lengthwise Lemon wedges Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment. With a chef's knife (large), slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and cut each half in half crosswise. Cut each quarter into wedges 2-4 inches long and about 1 inch thick. Try to keep the thickness fairly uniform.

Place sweet potatoes in a medium bowl with shallots and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, vinegar and brown sugar.

Spread wedges out on the baking sheet and roast until the larger pieces are tender when pierced with a sharp paring knife, about 35 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip any that are getting too brown on the edges.

While sweet potatoes are cooking, place kale in the same bowl the sweet potatoes were in, along with sliced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Do not toss yet.

When sweet potatoes are tender, remove baking sheet from the oven and turn oven temperature to 300 degrees.

Toss kale mixture with oil left in the bowl from sweet potatoes, adding another teaspoon if necessary to coat evenly.

Spread kale out over the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet.

Return to the oven and bake until kale is crisp, another 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve hot, warm or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

Yield: 4-6 servings.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER2, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you often do things that you understand might be forbidden, but you most often operate according to the belief that forgiveness is easier to get than permission!

This means that you have no qualms about doing what you perhaps should not do, as long as you areconfident that those in charge will look at the offense in a lighthearted way and not hold it against you. Take care, however! Others can tolerate only so much of this. Eventually, if you keep it up, you will simplybeseen as one who habitually breaks the rules, and some kind of punishment is sure to follow. Now and then, you must simply do as youaretold.

Austin Amencan-Statesman

AUSTIN, Texas — Before he riddled Austin's police headquarters and the federal courthouse with bullets and attempted to burn down the Mexican Consulate early Friday, Larry Steven McQuilliams came to Austin apparently looking for a &esh start he never found.

McQuilliams, who was 49 and went by Steve, had been incarcerated in Texarkana in the late 1990s. He had lived in Wichita, Kan., but left after growing fi ustrated with a job there, only to fail several background checks in Austin and land nothing more than a job at a car wash, according to one neighbor.

Itis still not clear why McQuilliams decided to reportedly fire more than 100 bullets in downtownAustin just minutes after thebarsclosed Friday,or why he tried to burn down the consulate. But McQuilliams did appear to be angry with the government, according to the neighbor, McQuilliams' Facebook page and an initial law enforcement assessment.

Austin police and the FBI are investigating the incident, which ended with McQuilliams'death when police Sgt. Adam Johnsonfi red back with one hand while holding two patrol horses steady with his other.

Because hundreds of people had poured into downtown fiom bars just minutes before McQuilliams began shooting shortly after 2 a.m.,"I give thanks that no one but the suspectisinjured or deceased," Police Chief Art Acevedo said at a Friday

The rounds had been fired between 2:22 a.m. and 2:33 a.m., according to police. The precise order of events remained to be sorted through, though a YouTube video taken &om a parking lot by Interstate 35 includes the sound of nearby automaticweapon fire.

The incident ended at the police station, where Johnson, a 15-year veteran with the Austin Police Department, was corralling two horses after his night shift.

When Johnson saw McQuilliams firing shots at the building, he returned fire.

Johnson is now on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure whenever an officer is involved in a shooting.

Lacking a conclusion from the medical examiner's office, it was not clear if McQuilliams died from Johnson's shot or killed himself.

news conference."That's something we should all take a lot of comfort in."

Noting that the targets suggest"anti-government behavior," perhaps based on recent gun control and immigrationdebates,Acevedo said:"I would suspect ... the political rhetoric might've fed into some of this.... I'm willing to speculate because I think it's important, iandl people want to know."

As Acevedo talked,police had cordoned off the Barton Hills apartment complex in which McQuilliams had lived in South Austin. One neighbor reported police snipers on nearby roofs.

At one point during the 12 hours of searching, police carried out dozens of propane bottles presumably the kind police say McQuilliams had arrayed at the Mexican Consulate. McQuilliams had set them on fire, along with shooting the building, police said, though the canisters didn't produce the kind of fireball that would have seriously damaged it.
