For the last 25 years, the lodge was owned and run by

Nancy Zwerling said she likes to sit on the back porch in the morning, overlooking an expansive yard where you can see the braids of the Wallowa River drain into Wallowa Lake."There's something

Union County Commissioner Mark Davidson made a prudent observation in a story in this newspaper recently regarding the Bu6'alo Peak Golf Course ''We need to determine our path from here. We

are going to want everyone's input," Davidson said.

Davidson's comments should be solace for those who support the beleaguered golf course and, for the rest of the voters, a signal that Davidson, at least, is trying to take a cautious, methodical route regarding the future. The course fell into the limelight during a recent budget meeting, where officials made it clear the recreation installation was $1 million in the hole. The county owns the course and must pay back a $1.5 million on a loan that helped fuel the construction of the course. Another bit of interesting news revolved around the fact that even when the country repays the loan, the course can't sustain itself based on the money it takes in now. The budget meeting proved to be enlightening in that a group of elected leaders actually had to discuss — in public — some fairly serious issues regarding the golf course. The course isn't making money. The county made a decision to create the course and then pump money —taxpayermoney — into it.N ow, quite clearly, it is a financial failure. Yet the real question remains: What to do? As Commissioner Jack Howard pointed out, the county is still on the hook regarding the loan. Yet whether the golf course is functioning or not, the county must still repay the loan. To argue to continue to support a failing installation simply because a loan must be repaid is an assertion built upon a rickety foundation. If the county can invest in the course — without using large sums of taxpayer money — and get it back out of the red, then we support that. If the county can find another funding avenue — that does not involve taxpayer funds of any kindand save the course then that would indeed be a triumph. We still believe, however, that the county needs to get out of the golf course business. Davidson is correct regarding input from taxpayers on the issue is valuable and it will be so in this case. And he is also right that the county needs to determine a path from this point. Hopefully the path chosen will not include another long-term investment that, while it may serve a minority, leaves the majority of Union County taxpayers in the dark.

Your views May's La Grande, Island City cleanup day a success To the Editor: Thanks for your cleanup efforts during the May 9 La Grande and Island City Neighborhood Cleanup Day. About 60 Eastern Oregon University athletes filled five Dumpsters with trash and two Dumpsters of recyclable metals. River Bend youth collected 48 bags of litter alongside Highway 30 to the truck stop, while Rotary members, church, scout and service groups, and Walmart employees filled another 100 bags from along the Island City strip, Gekeler Lane, the Island Avenue underpass, Spruce and other city streets. Athletes and Island City Lions supervised the Fred Beeman Park site while athletes unloaded vehicles. The Hazardous Waste Facility on Highway 30reported record donations ofhousehold hazardous waste, and cans of unused paint were dropped off at Millers. Alleys were cleaned and two parks received a good weeding by service groups. Habitat for Humanity received a truckloadofreusableappliances and materials. About 50 gallons of oil were recycled, and ReStore workers collected 16 batteries, a load of electronic devices forrecycling,and disposed of refiigerators after the cooling systems were removed. EOU basketball players collected over500 tires,and LesSchwab generously hauled them away. Radio stations, the Observer and La Grande Main Street supported and promoted the event, and the cities of La Grande and Island City volunteered front-end loaders and provided leadership in planning. Energetic EOU women's basketballand soccer studentsresponded to calls forassistance to load trash from home-boundfolks,and throughout our communities neighbors trimmed bushes and cleaned yards and streetscapes. Numerous volunteers monitored the dumpstersitesoffered by theschool district and City of La Grande. And we all kept the energy high with donuts contributed by Walmart. ODOT and Oregon SOLVE donated litter bags. We were able to meet the $1,200 expense of providingDumpsters and services thanks to SOLVE and your cash donations at Dumpster sites. Keep in mind thisprojectism ade possible by your cash contributions and volunteer efforts.

COUGH Continued ~om Page1A urge residentsto protect themselves by getting a DTaP booster shot." Even though two cases have been confirmed through laboratory testing, Carter said CHD knows there are others in Union County who are symptomatic but have not been tested. Bordetella pertussis is a bacteria that lives in the nose, mouth and throat, and it is transmitted into the air through sneezing, coughing and talking. '%ith pertussis, you have to have a pretty long exposure, more than an hour of closeproximity oflessthan six feet," Carter said. "But if you have several people sick and you're around them in some community setting, you'll have more risk. The bacteria is also resident — kidsarenotorious for putting their hands in their mouths or on their face and then touching a grocery cart or whatever. Pertussis can be transmitted that way also. That's why we're urging immunization, because these places you're going are alwaysproblematic for spreading disease." Pertussis develops in two phases. Symptoms of the first phase appear between seven and 10 days after exposure, and they include sneezing, mild fever and a cough that gradually worsens. The second phase is uncontrolled coughing spells, which could last six weeks or longer with a characteristic whooping sound when the person inhales. "The disease does create a thick phlegm and your body starts to cough to clearit,"Carter said."The problem is that itbecomes so reactive that you can't get air and you're not able

Azithromycin or what people know as a Z-pack is the most common one given and it's a five-day dose. Another prescription drug used to treat pertussis is called Biaxin," Carter said. CHD is urging Union County residents to prevent the spread of pertussis, and the most effectiveway ofpreventing the spreadofpertussis is immunizing with DTaP or Tdap vaccines. "During an outbreak like this, however, we can give babies as old as 6 weeks the DTaP immunization," Carter said. Parents are encouraged to review their child's immunization records and determine if their child needs a Tdap booster. Immunity wanes over a period of three to four years, so booster shots are recommended. During an outbreak such as this, any person older than 10 years of age should receive a Tdap booster immediately if they have never had one, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

LODGE Continued ~om Page1A intricate and took longer than expected. The owners grew fond of the place and Larsen became a"local." Marc Zwerling said he knew little about Wallowa Lake or the lodge before he and Larsen decided to buy it, nor much about Nez Perce history and culture. As he became acquainted with his investment, visiting it several times a year, he said he grew to have a profoundappreciation for the lodge, the area and native history. "In 1993, I knew nothing about the Nez Perce, but over the years tribal members have always shown up atthe lodge forvarious functions," he said. As their appreciation grew for the Iribe's culture and history, it wasn't long before the Zwerlings and Larsen knew they wanted the Nez Perce Tribe to own

the lodge.

"It is still my fondest hope," Marc Zwerling said. He said he envisions the tribes owning it, running it as a business and adding an education outreach center. He said the lodge has the potential to increase its revenue with the right management, but conserving most of the surrounding property would benefit its value. With that in mind, the owners worked with the Trust for Public Land that paidforan appraisalofthe property. With conservation of the property for the future,they've discussed easement options with Wallowa Land Trust and to have the lodge serve as a cultural center for future generations, the owners started working with the Nez Perce Tribe. Marc Zwerling said five or six years ago it looked like a saleto thetribe wa sim minent, but tribal leadership ended up deciding against purchasing the lodge. About a year ago, Larsen died unexpectedly. His heirs

Monthly rent will be $450 for the one-room apartments, $550 for the two-bedroom units and $700 for the three-bedroom units. Rent will be less for those who qualify for subsidies. The Blue Springs Crossing complex will be funded in part by a tax credit package through the state's Affordable Housing Program, according to the Northeast Oregon Housing Authority. The biggest portion ofthispackage is ataxcreditof$689,811 that Guardian Real Estate Services will receive each year for 10 years. A grandopening for BlueSprings Crossing is set for August.

Along with talking to both the Nez Perce and Umatilla tribes, Rosenthal said with Wallowa State Park as an adjacent neighbor, he asked if the state would be interested in buying it. "The thing about this property that is unusual is it istheonly private property on the south end of the lake," Rosenthal said. The property is zoned recreation/commercial, which the Zwerlings and Rosenthal think would be ideal for eitherthe tribesorthe park to own and run.

The Observer

Sne NillernamedEasternOrelenlivesteckShewlrandmarshal • Livestock Show has always been an integral part of her's, and her family's, life Submitted to The Observer

The Eastern Oregon Livestock Show is an event that brings together countless families and friends. It embodies qualities such as integrity, selflessness and dedication to tradition. It holds a special place in the heart of so many people in Eastern Oregon for those reasons. Sue Miller, the 2015 grand marshal, personifies these same qualities. For Miller, the EOLS has always been a family affair. She can recall her first stock show when she was just 5 years old, sitting on the curb on Main Street in Union with her sister as the

parade passed by. Each year, Sue came to the EOLS with her parents, Mark andBetty Cunningham, who were members of the La Grande Mavericks. She remembers the fierce

competition between the area horse clubs that took place during the stock show. Sue met her future husband, Ed Miller, at the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show when they were teenagers. They were fans and supporters of the EOLS and soon became volunteers. Sue volunteered in one capacity or another for more than 30 years. She describes her hardest job as being on the dance committee, specifically organizing the teenage dances that were held at the Union High School gymnasium in the 1970swith strobe lights and wild music. Miller's most enjoyable and fun job was being a court mother with Mary Jane Johnson. Miller loved travelling with the court, making sure they were

treated like royalty at all of the shows they visited. She was a part of the first queen coronation in the clubhouse, which was not yet completed, so they hauled in hay bales to sit on and hammered together a makeshift stage. Miller wore many other hats throughout her years as a volunteer at the EOLS such as working in the hamburger booth, the betting booth, hosting the queen's breakfast and helping with Monte Carlo night. She said she enjoyed each job and each task because she was working alongside amazing people working hard for the success of this show. Miller's idea of the EOLS being a family affair rings true in the sense that several generations of her family have been highly involved in putting on the show.

Her husband, Ed, served as vice-president and rodeo chairman, and his father, Odin Miller, served as president, as did his grandfather, S.E. Miller. Sue's sister-inlaw, Karen iMillerl Catlin, was the queen of the 50th

EOLS. Now Ed and Sue's children, Cassie Miller, Cinda Fratzke and Odin Miller, and their families are helping make the Ed Miller Xtreme bull riding a success. Sue said she genuinely believesthe bestpartabout working at the EOLS all these years is being alongside family and friends and enjoying the camaraderiethat produces the oldest and best show in the Northwest. The EOLS parade takes place at 2 p.m. Friday, and the show runs today through Sunday.

Partnership provides breast pumps for families with babies in intensive care ByAmyWang The Oregonian

The house received the Medela Symphony Preemie+ pumps Thursday, bringing its breast pump inventory to four, as part of a new Medela partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities. Since January, Medela, a leading breast-pump manufacturer, has donated two hospitalgradepumps a month to a Ronald McDonald House. The manufacturer's Medela Recycles program encourages mothers who aredone with their electric Medela pumps to send them back for free recycling. The recycled pumps support the donations to the Ronald McDonald Houses, which providefreelodging to families with hospitalized children. Many of the families have infants in neonatal intensive care units and want to providebreast milk for

She presented the donation Thursday at the Ronald McDonald House West Waterfront, on the fifth floor of the Marriott Residence Inn Downtown/RiverPlace. Lauren Hartmann, a Portland-area parenting and lifestyle blogger who is a Medela Recycles Ambassador, said she was excited to bepartofa campaign where the end of one mom's breastfeeding journey is the beginning of another's.

y • J.D. and Wanda McCarty promote businesses and share their team of minis in local parades By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

A lot oflittle girls may dream ofhaving a pony, but maybe they should reconsider — at least miniaturize their dream. J.D.and Wanda McCarty are wellknown in the town of Union. Riding their wagon with their horses Dollar Bill, so named because he was purchased for $1, Two Bucks, similarly named, Vixon and Glow, the couple's miniature horses are a sight to see walking down the main street of Union. aWe're lucky our city lets us," said J.D. about taking Union back to the horse and wagon era. aWe drive all around town." J.D. said someone offered Dollar Bill to him in 2006. He had no previous experience with horses, let alone miniatures, but he decided to purchase him — especially for the price. aWe bought him. Supposedly he was completely wild," he said."Immediately, though, he could pull a wagon without any trouble. You can do whatever you want, they want to make you

happy."

J.D. McCarty built this medicine wagon himself. Dollar Bill andTwo Bucks pull the McCartys with ease in local parades. They're a sight to see and are very good with children, J.D. said.

J.D. builds custom-made wagons. However, the McCartys are a common sight in local parades with their small team, and they get local businesses to sponsor the team to be in the parade by charging $50 per banner to get the McCartys to the parade. "Little kids love to see them, and they make the older people really happy too," J.D. said. "As far as I can tell, miniatures don't have bad blood in them. They're just different. I can shove them around when I need to, easier than I could regular horses." J.D. said as easy as it is to push the horses to w here he wants them, when he gotkicked by one of them, it hurt just as bad as being kicked by a regular horse.

La Grande wrestler Cole Rohan ended one of the finest careers ever for the Tigers this year, finishing with an in-season record of 169-27 and a state championship in his junior season.

• La Grande wrestler Cole Rohan utilized strong work ethic to obtain illustrious cmer By Josh Benham The Observer

Cole Rohan doesn't pull any punches. "I am going to be honest," he said."I'm not the most talented wrestler. On our team, there's never been a year where I'm the m ost tal ented wrestler." That might not be entirely accurate. As his head coach, Klel Carson, can attest, Rohan simply could not have accomplished what he has ifhe lacked skill. "He is talented," Carson said. 'There's no way you could be a four-time All-American without talent ... But he doesn't have the God-given talents that some kids have had. He way outdid the talent he has." But there is one aspect where Rohan went above and beyond his peers. "I can tell you that whatever wrestling room I'm in, I'll be the hardest working wrestler there," Rohan said. With that superb work ethic, Rohan shot to the top of the high school ranks during his illustri-

ous career. Now, with his time as a Tiger complete, he's looking to inspire a whole new generation of La Grande wrestlers who hope to be the next Cole Rohan. When you stack up his highlights, however, thattask looksmore and more daunting. Rohan, who in May lost two matches by a combined four points to nationally-ranked wrestlers at the Western Junior Freestyle Regional in Las Vegas, finished with an in-season record of 169-27 for La Grande. After winning a state title in the 106-pound division as a junior, injuries and illness derailed his path to a second-consecutive title, and he took second at the Class 4A state wrestling championships in late February. But his state championship showings only scratch the surface ofhis accomplishments. The four All-American honors that Carson alluded to stem from winning the Flo Reno Worlds Championships after both his junior and senior seasons, finishing third in Reno after his sophomore season and placing sixth at the 2014 USA Wrestling Junior Men's Freestyle Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota, last July. Rohan was a two-time champion ofboth the Rollie Lane Invitational in Nampa, Idaho, and

24.32 seconds. With a final quarter-mile dash to the finish even faster than Secretariat, American Pharoah ran into Triple Crown history with a dazzling display of speed and endurance in the Belmont Stakes. Triple Crown winner Secretariat may have taken the 1973 Belmont by a record 31 lengths and ina record time of2:24,but American Pharoah was faster to the finish over the final 440 yards. Big Red took 25 seconds; American Pharoah was .68 seconds quicker. "He flew home the last quarter,"

Elgin/Imbler put six seniors on all-Eastern Oregon League softball teams in Class 3A after the team finished third in the EOL. Along with Miah Slater, Darcie Kanoho was the other senior to earn a first team honor. The outfielder had the second-best batting average for the Ravens, hitting at a .466 clip, and belted three home runs, which tied for second on the team.

HORSE RACING American Pharoah's trainer Bob Baffert said Sunday."I've never had a horse like that. I've never seen a horse run like that. I wasn't around for the Seattle Slews and Secretariats. But what we witnessed ... I was pretty in awe." American Pharoah owner Ahmed Zayat believes his horse is a worthy addition to the Triple Crown club. His winning time provesit.The colt's2:26.65 clocking for the 1-'/2-mile Belmont is second to Secretariat's among the 12 Triple Crown winners — and sixth fastest in Belmont history.

"Sometimes I can't believe I have him in my barn," Baffert said of the colt who has won seven in a row after a career-opening defeat."To see this horse finally do something like this ... You have to have a superior horse, and he alsohas to betough and be able to handle the grind." His accel eration attheend of a race longer than most horses will ever run was extraordinary. Several Triple Crown hopefuls tired in the stretch over the years, including Bafert's Silver Charm ithree-quarters of a length) and Real Quiet inosel. This time, not anissue.

Michael and Stephanie Powell were justtwo ofthe close to 100participants of Saturday's 14th-annual 3 Rivers Race in La Grande, which is a fundraiser for Shelter From the Storm. But the couple had perhaps the most unique set of wheels for the 70-mile bike ride. The Powells took to the course early Saturday morning in a tandem recumbent tricycle, one so rare they actually ordered it from North Carolina. The Powells have come from Sherwood three years now for the race, one of several fundraising events they take part in each summer. 'The whole issue of domestic violence in our country is out of hand," Michael Powell, 65, said, adding that it was much less prominent when he was younger."People just didn't do that....Anything that I think we can do tohelp out,ifit'sadding a few bucks to the cause, then by golly, I'm happy to do it."

Rohan credits his parents, Chelsee and Sean, along with Carson, assistant coach Walt Anderson and middle school coach Miles Hancock, for pushing him to his success. Early on in his life, however, allthat glory was a far-DII'dream. "I (wrestled) a little bitwhen I was really little, because my dad and grandpa like it," Rohan said."But I wasn't a very physical kid, so I didn't really like it." That all changed during his middle school years. He grew as a wrestler and football playerin seventh grade, and ended up earning a varsity spot as a freshman for the wrestling team. According to Rohan, it was a successful freshman campaign, but he didn't place at state. "I'm a bad loser," he said."I hate losing more than I like winning." That mOtiVated him to COmPete in summer tournaments, where he estimates hewrestled atleast50 m atches in theoffseasoTL He also started spending copious amount of time in the Weight rOOm, lifting at leaSt three to four times besides his usual wrestling WorkoutS.

"My improvement &om freshman to sophomore year was probably the biggeSt imPrOVement Of my high SChOO 1 career," Rohan said. It showed. He won the Tri-State tournament, but also suffered a setback at the end Of the high SChOO1 SeaSOn. He placed fourth at the district tournament before losing in the final match at state before he reaChed the PlaCing rOund, which madehim work even harder. "Cole, by far, was the most consistent wrestler, as far as lifbng steadily until school started,"Anderson said."He definitely would push himself in the DIIseasoTL We were taking him to those tournaments in the summer, and a lot of guyS dOn't do that. That'S hoW he made himself the wrestler he became." Rohan blew through his competition in his junior season, winning the Muilenburg Tournament in La Grande, the TriState and the Rollie Lane. Rohan only lost three matches all season, with one coming in the Special District 2 finals against Ontario's Francisco Barrera. But he showed his grit at the state championships against Barrera, win-

But in the week leading up to the state championships, Rohan developed an infection in hiS CheSt that SuCked the life Out Ofhim at state. Miraculously, he still was able to reach the finals, but Cole Smith of Marshfield defeated him in a 6-4 deciSion fOr the State title. "That kid he wrestled was a tough kid, but ifhe'd have met Cole a month prior, he WOuldn't haVe Stood a ChanCe,"Anderson said."After the first round, I looked at Cole and his face was white and his lips were blue. But he kept going, and he had no eXCuSBS. He didn't Say One WOrd."

That sums up Rohan in one sentence. "That's how life goes," Rohan said. 'There'S no eXCuSBS.YOu'Ve got to be

He's planning on participating in some open collegiate competitions, but in the meantime, he's going to be a fixture at the La Grande Mat Club.

REDMOND — Craft beer enthusiasts are willing to run dozens of miles for the chance to savor Central Oregon's most sought-after ales, IPAs and lagers. "Beer's aform ofcarbo-loading,right?" Portland's Matt Merritt asked Saturday at Wild Ride Brewing, one of the stops along the second annual Bend Beer Chase. Merritt was one of nearly 800 beer drinkers in Central Oregon this weekend runningin the Bend Beer Chase, a 70-mile relayrace with stops in Bend, Redmond and Sisters. Teams of six or fewer started at Bend's Worthy Brewing earlySaturday morning beforeheading north to Redmond, west to Sisters and then back to Bend. Legs of the race varied, with some as short as 3'/2 miles while the longest measured almost 9 miles. Exchange points in town were held at local breweries and stops in more remote areas were sponsored by brewers. "It' saperfectway to seeCentral Oregon," saidAllie Dashiell, who came down fiom Portland to help support fellow members ofher NoPo Run Club who were runningin the Beer Chase.'You get to see the Sisters, the city iog Bend.All three towns iBend, Sisters and Redmond) really. ... The loop hits up everything." Once teams made their way back to Bend they ditched their team vans and ran the final 2 miles — the Keg Legtogether, afast-paced pub crawl thathit four breweries and one cider-maker before concluding at Crow's Feet Commons. "All the legs are really runnable and it's just a one-day event," said Mary Chen, another member of the NoPo Run Club.e You can make a whole weekend out of the race. It's not like a marathon where you can barely walk the next day. The recovery time iafter a couple of relay legs) is so much quicker. You just follow up the next day with a

Participants in the Keg Leg portion of the Bend Beer Chase run towards Silver Moon for a beer sample Saturday in downtown Bend. Bloody Mary and brunch it out." The brainchild of Scott Douglass, who owns and operates the Cascade Lakes Race Group, the Bend Beer Chase was conceived and carried out last fall in less than two months. The initial turnout of about 400 peoplewas encouraging, Douglass said, especially since the group onlyadvertised theraceforaboutthree weeks. This year 120 teams signed up — and approximately 100 individuals who just did the Keg Leg — 70 percent of whom, by Douglass' estimate, hailed from outside Central Oregon. "I get phone calls daily about Bend," saidDouglass,w hose group also stages the popular Cascade Lakes Relay and the Spokane to Sandpoint Relay.'The beer, the running. We've got teams from Seattle and San Francisco here." Highlighted by Runner's World as a "Can't-miss craft beer race," the Bend Beer Chase looks to double again next year to1,600 participants.Each brewery stop will become a mini-festival unto itself, Douglass said.

Erin Prior, right, and Katie O'Brien, both of Bend, enjoy a beer sample at Silver Moon Brewing at a stop in the keg leg portion of the Bend Beer Chase on Saturday. "Breweries loveitbecauseforabout three hours they get this mass of people," Douglass said.'They don't need parking and in some cases it's at hours when they normally wouldn't even be open." "It's been really fun," added Merritt, whose team used the race as a warmup for the Hood to Coast Relay.

State DOJ: Police not ready for complex cases The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The state Department of Justice says Oregon State Police lack experience, money and the constitutional know-how to properly handle complex criminal investigations. The DOJ offered those charges as an explanation for OSPs fumbling of evidence in a quadruple murder case involving white supremacists, The Oregonian reported. State police Detective Dave Steele was sentenced in December to 18 months ofprobationafterpleading guilty to forgery and official misconduct related to the case. He also resigned. Steele was the lead investigator into the nine-day rampage in 2011 of Joey Pedersen and Holly Grigsby thatclaimed the livesofPedersen's father and stepmoth-

er, an Oregon teenager the couple mistakenly thought was Jewish, and a black man in Northern California. In a supervisory opinion released last summer, the trial judge in the federal case said Steele withheld and destroyed evidence, backdated reports, and listened toconfidential defendant-attorney calls. Despite the problems, Pedersen and Grigsby are both in prison serving life sentences. In a 23-page advisory review released this week, the state Justice Department said it found no evidence to suggest a systemic problem with OSPs evidence handling and case management. But the review team noted that the department's Major Crimes Section was understaffedatthe startofthe multiple-murder investigation.

"As a result, only a single detectivewas assigned as the leadin the case,despite the breadth and complexity of the investigation," the DOJ team wrote."And, although Det. Steele might have been the 'best fit' at the time the case was assigned, he had little experience investigating capital murder cases." The DOJ review team recommended aseriesof correcti ons to statepolice policies, procedures and training. Some of the key recommendations include: — Establishing protocols for taking on complex cases, defined as those involving multiple law enforcement

agencies, victims, defendants or jurisdictions; organized crime, wiretaps, or imminent terrorist threats. — Adopting the Major Crimes Section's highest standards for turning over evidence helpful to the defense, making that the standardforthe entire department, and giveregular training sessions for all OSP employees on attorney-client privilege. — Adopting a specific policy for the handling and disclosure of digital records and recordings. — Adopting a policy that requires employees to document evidence they have receivedfrom athird party.

18 summers: Make them all count The marketing end of the tourism industry intrigues me. More often than not family-fiiendly outdoor recreation istheplatform used to draw people and their money to communities. But last year the state of Idaho came up with a great campaign to bring families closer together through outdoor recreationit's called "18 Summers." Idaho sent a reminder to the world that"Summer isn't the only thing that goes by fast. Make every summer count." We've got 18 summers to spend withour kidsbeforecollege,jobs and adulthood. To some that might seem like a lot but the reality is, it isn't. As parents we only have 18 summers to explore and play, teach, grow and create memories that can shape the future. The campaign's website, www.18summers.us, features documemories of families on Idaho vacations. In one of these short films a mom at Redfish Lake comments that as a family,eWe've done more things in six hours than we've done in six months."

Conclusion of our Memorial

Day mystery For the past two weeks we have been following the trail of a young La Grande man mentionedin my grandmother Hofmann's Aug. 23, 1942, diary as having been killed in World War II. His identity seemed important to me to know how his life had touched my mother and grandmother. It turned out that his name was Eugene E. Rochester, that he had been stationed in El Paso, Texas, as a second lieutenant, and on this day he had climbed aboard a B-17E military plane for a last routine training flight over New Mexico. I think ofhim as he might have been on that last day, wondering if he was eagertogetthetraining overwith because he was being assigned to a new post on the East Coast and, maybe, anxious to be on his way. His flight to his new assignment later in the week would take him to Pendleton, where his folks, Earl and Freda Rochester, were coming from La Grande, 50 miles away, to spend a bit of time with him in his layover. But first was his joining the crew in the bomber as directed. Nine of them clamberedaboard and took offinto the Texas sky. We know not the weather condition that day, but are told that it was just a routine flight. Somewhere over Las Cruces, New Mexico, there may have been a violent shaking of the ship and perhaps the plane exploded with the seams tearing apart. Whatever it was, it caused the plane to crash into the ground, killing seven of the nine men aboard. Only two were able to escape the plane and parachute to the ground. SeeDory IPage 3B

There was a joke at our house that if you couldn't eat it, you shouldn't be planting it, or so the gardener husband would proclaim. Consequently, the emphasis was always learning more about germinating vegetables and making a shopping trip to fill in with annuals. An email from a reader regardinga previous article on vegetable-seedgermination temperatures asked a question about the germination of flower seeds. The question sent me to the bookshelf for "The New Seed-Starters Handbook" by Nancy Bubel. Most flower seeds require a soil or growing medium temperatureof70 to 80 degreesto germinate. To be successful, you would start the seeds indoors, where you'd have more control over thesoiltemperature. If you waited until our soil temperature reached the desiredtemperature ofupward of 70 degrees and then plantedthe seeds to thegarden, I'm afraid you wouldn't have many posies to smell by the end of the season. Granted, there are directly seeded annuals that germinate in approximately seven to 10 days — ageratum, alyssum, marigolds and zinnia — but most seeds require 14 to more than 25 days. If you want the challenge of starting your own flower seeds, you would start them indoors, usually a month to six weeks before planting out. Seed packets are a wealth of information. Johnny's Selected Seeds, for example, offers extensive information on temperature and days to germination, light preference and harvest hints. For this year's flower fix,

Marigolds

r ~j

Norman Winter /TNS

Orange zinnia stands out among other flowers in this grouping.

Moving on down the list to marigolds, which is considered taking the no-brainer route by some. There are a multitude of choices, from dwarf single-flowered signets to bushy midsized French types in colors ranging from sunny orange, yellow, softer creams and rich mahogany. Marigolds need full sun, but not rich soil, and should not be overwatered. I like planting the Lemon Gem seriesin with thevegetable garden, as they are a great attractor ofbeneficialinsects.

Snapdragons delights of the late summer/ early fall garden, and about the time you wish you had some, it will be too late. Plant in full sun. Asters make long-lasting cut flowers. Varieties include plants with pompom blooms, fully double blooms and blooms resembling a spider chrysanthemum. Colors usually range from shades of blue scarlet, rose and a very deep violet. According to Bubel's book, germination is sometimes as lowas 55 percent ofthe seeds planted. Maybe just consider buying the bedding plants.

I suggest you go the easy routeand visityourfavorite garden center. Spend time researching and amassing information on your favorites, and next April you will be ready to start your annual flower seeds. Below are a few annuals that you might consider this year that I sometimes think are underused. They aren't as glamorous as some that you will find in the marketplace, but they are faithful and hardy and do well in our climate.

Alyssum Alyssum is valuable for more than just its merits as a border plant. Plant in full sun or part shade. The plants attractpollinatorsand beneficial insects that will also help keep aphids in control. I always use a planting of alyssum in my greenhouse. Colors can range from white, rose, lavender or purple.

Bachelor's button Bachelor's button is the goodold-fashioned cottage gardenfavoritein shades of blue, rose or white blossoms. They don't transplant well, so be daring and toss a few seeds around your garden and track their progress. The seeds need darkness to germinate so they should be covered. The plants

Asters Asters are one of the

perform well in cool weather, but the seeds need warmth to sprout, so you could scatterthe seeds,coverwith a light dusting of soil and then cover with row cover for a few degrees of added warmth.

Calendula Calendula is also called pot marigoldand blooms bestin coolweather,producing daisylike flowers in shades of orange and yellow. It is considered to be on the list of frost-fighting flowers. There are many recordings from flower garden growersofprolifi creseeding the next year. Calendulas have been used as a trap cropforcucumber beetles. The beetles are attracted to the color of the flower, the plants are carefully monitored,and thebeetles are picked offbefore they can move on to other plants. Be sure to remove the

Snapdragons are one of my favorites for a cutting garden and are available in many colors, including apricot, bronze, rose wine, yellow and orchid. I usually buy the shorter varietyplant and have found thatifIplacethem properly in the rockery, they will winter over. Bubel suggests keeping seedsinthefreezerfortw o days before planting to hasten germination. Seeds need lightto sprout sojustpress the tiny seeds into the soil. I think I will always continue to purchase the plants.

Stock Stock has been on my to-dolistfor yearsbut somehow always slips off. Stock is an old-fashioned cut flower grown in full sun to part shade in moist, welldrained soil. I think the moist soil is probably what gives me

second thoughts, as I tend to run everything on the dry side. I want to try them fortheirspicy fragrance and their ability to bloom in 65-degree weather. The hairy gray-green leaves m ight dist ract thedeer, which would also be a plus.

Zinnias What would a garden flower article be without mention of the zinnias? In one of my catalogs, I counted morethan 40 varietiesof zinnias between the Profusion series, the Benary's Giant series, the Giant Dahlia series, the Zowie, Oklahoma mix, Uproar Rose, Sunbow mix and the Persian Carpet heirlooms. They like it hot and dry, so they might sit there for a while before they burst forth. Good placement would be the south side of the house.

Sweet peas I always have a good giggle when I think of planting sweet peas in the Midwest. Tradition has it that you plant the flowering sweet pea onGood Friday.Wel l, there is a world of difference between Good Friday from year to year. So do you plant the sweet peas on the Good Friday that occurs in late February or the Good Friday that occurs in April? That's when it is important to have a soil thermometer and track the days the temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees. Old family or regional planting traditions are fun to think about, but remember not to take them too seriously.

Salad greens are plentiful in grocery stores year-round, but if you ask us, big-box producenever seems totaste as good as the leafy greens that pop up in local farmers' gardens come spring. Salad dressing doesn't have to have a lotofingredientstotastegood — all tender baby spinach and delicate spring mixes need to dazzlethe taste buds isa drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze oflemon and salt and pepper. But sometimes you crave a dressing that's a little more complex. As the following recipes show, the right blend of oil, vinegar and spices can elevatea simple bowl ofgreens from a healthful but ho-hum afterthought to a supersatisfying house special. Who knows, your family might even ask for seconds. Crunchy greens such as romaineand iceberg lettuce aretheperfectcanvas for creamy dressings such as the Green Goddess offered below, while buttery head lettuces demand a lighter touch. Make sure you wash and completely dry your greens before placing in the salad bowl (a salad spinner comes in handy), and also be sure to tearthe leaves into bite-sized pieces, unless you're grilling the head whole, which I love to do with romaine. I always salt my greens beforeadding the dressing — start with less than you

Referring back to the second Observer article, it continued,"Survivors said the ship went to pieces during a severe storm." I had my answers on almost all fronts. Now a missing part was why the airplane had disintegrated. Similar accidents in the areawere beinginvestigated by Army and Navy authorities. Additional gathered miscellaneous information reported what I suspected, and I print it here as an alternative to a possible malfunctioning of the airplane. "...23 Aug. 1942. Stationed at El Paso, Texas, the B-17E was hit by lightning and exploded in mid-air near Las Cruces, New Mexico..." In spite of flying through bad weather, the training flight may have been considered routine when, something my Grandmother would have called a sudden"Donner and Blitzen," or thunder and lightning storm, could have occurred with the airplane receiving a direct lightning strike, causing it to explode and fall to the ground in a crash. Regardless ofthecauseof the accident, for these men, and for Eugene E. Rochester, the training and the war for them was over. I felt chilled at the discovery, for a year or so later my future husband was one of such a crew, stationed at different fields in Texas, training over southern skies as a second lieutenant and navigator for the squadron of men. There was no storm and the war ended just as his squadron was poised in readi-

they need to have fun with their loved ones. An association of family togetherness and good memories will create bonds that strengthen families and boost confidence in kids. Who knows, maybe it's those memories and knowledge that they are loved that will give your kids the drive to succeed and make positive choices down the road. Our own state also has a great

How grateful I am for the 61 years we had together when Eugene and that crew, my friend, Gary Heller, and many others were denied that partoftheirlives.In thinking about them and all the other military so honorably in the service of their country, I am again transported back to the 1940s and remembering those particular war years,feeling the agony of all mothers and fathers whom I have never known. Somehow, now, the war deaths of all these young peoplebecome a universal name and cover all parents who have lost a loved one in time of war. All wars. The waste of human lives with so much potential to serve humanity. I am grateful for the entries in my grandmother Hofmann's diary that touched my heart so close to Memorial Day 2015 and led me on this search;also,m y appreciation to all who aided so willingly in the research to answer my questions.

I thought my story was ended, but, with discovery of aLa Grande Evening Observer's additional frontpage story, more pieces fell into place to bring closure. I still needed information about the funeral. Another visit to the LDS Family History Center and a helpful Nancy Karrels aided in supplying that the funeral was held as told earlier on Sunday, Aug. 30, 1942, but now announced that the service would be

in the Snodgrass Funeral Chapel with the Rev. Arthur Stanley of the First Christian Church oSciating and the American Legion in charge ofthegravesiderites atthe Masonic cemetery. The article also said that a major was accompanying Eugene's body to La Grande, arriving Friday evening. Here was the part that almost broke my heart when I readit: "Lieutenant Rochester was slatedfor advancement atthe time ofhis death, and was to have been transferred to an eastcoastpost...He was to have flown to Pendleton this week where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl (sic) E. Rochester planned to visit him." Only one more question remains. Grandma Hofmann's entry in the diary said'%ent to the furnell (funeral) for young Roch..... Had to stand. Went to the cemetery with Griti." Was the chapel overflowing so that there were no more seatsavailable and she stood outside the chapel during thatpartofthe service? In my mind I see the family, friends, and townsfolkhonoring theyoung man's life and death by their attendance so that it was an overflow crowd out the funeral chapel door and down the steps. Most folks didn't live as long as they do now. My grandmother was considered old when she died at age 75 and she was 65 years old at the time of Eugene's funeral... but shestood aslong asit took in honor of the soldier. I found his gravestone today, not far from my parents', and I said a prayer for him and all his compatriots. Reach Dory rrt jks/tmarOeoni.com

ByAiison Elkin Bloomberg News

As asteady stream ofpresidential candidates enters the race, a new ritual is emerging: the campaign logo reveal. The relative distinctiveness ofcampaign logos isarecent development: There was a time when they all looked basically the same, give or take a star, often featuring the same stylized, waving flag. The 1990s and early 2000s were a different time, with less media noise and fewer shiny objects vying for voters' attention, so there was less need for candidates to distinguish themselves through symbolism and color — and perhapsa hesitation todo anything that stood out too much. Instead, virtually all of them optedforsim ilarshades ofred and blue, and used similar fonts and imagery. It wasthe 2008 election, and that famous letter"0," that changed everything, says designer Sagi Haviv, a partner in the New York firm Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv who has designed logos for the Library of Congress, Armani Exchange, and Harvard University Press, among other clients. "Whatever you say about

iObama'sl mark — iit'sl maybe a tiny bit cheesy for me — but it has been so successful and so impactful. It had a huge impact on the campaign," Haviv said. "It was extremely well-used throughout. I think that in some way, it changed the course of history in terms of design for campaigns, and everybody is now trying to achieve the same thing."
