Redmond’s defense was playing with 12 men on the
fi eld Friday night.
Actually the 12th man was Baker’s halfback-quarterback
Dick Sheehy, who was in the Panther secondary so much
that Redmond may have started counting jerseys to be
sure. The bucking, twisting senior camped in the second-
ary with 257 yards in 26 carries as the Bulldogs ripped
their visitors, 46-0.

Baker County residents will still hear the buzz of stud-
ded tires on streets and highways this winter, but that
buzz will be coming from lightweight aluminum, alloy or
plastic studs, not from steel ones.
A new state law that takes effect Nov. 1, the fi rst day
studded tires are legal, bans tire stores from selling tradi-
tional all-steel studs.

Baker football coach Dave Johnson stands alone as the
winningest football coach in Baker High School history.
Johnson earned that honor Friday when his Bulldogs
demolished Mac-Hi 67-22 in their Greater Oregon League
opener at Milton-Freewater.
The Bulldogs’ fourth win of the 2011 season also was
Johnson’s 72nd in his 10 years as Baker head coach. That
moves him one game ahead of current Baker athletic
director Mike Sullivan.

Stefanie Kirby had to use a bit more muscle than is nor-
mally necessary to amass the ballots delivered this week
to Baker County voters for the Nov. 3 election.
Kirby, the county’s clerk and election offi cial, said
12,249 ballots went to the post offi ce on Wednesday.
That’s by a substantial margin the most voters who
have been eligible in any presidential election in Baker
County’s 158-year history.
The previous record, set in the 2016 election, was
11,164.
Kirby said the past few weeks have been hectic in the
clerk’s offi ce at the Courthouse as employees deal with an
infl ux of newly registered voters.
The deadline to register for the Nov. 3 election was
Tuesday, Oct. 13.
“We’ve been very busy,” Kirby said on Thursday.

Noxious weed of the week
By JEFFREY PETTINGILL
Yellow toadfl ax (Li-
naria vulgaris) is a beautiful
escaped ornamental plant
from Europe that resembles
snapdragons. This plant
is another of our trouble-
some noxious weeds due to
its spreading root system
(rhizomes).
Yellow toadfl ax is a short
weed (less than 18 inches
tall) with orange and yellow
fl owers with narrow leaves
that run up and down the
entire plant. This plant does
not secrete a white milk
when broken off (as leafy
spurge does). I have only
seen this in the area north
of Halfway.
The attack
This plant, also called
“butter and eggs,” contains a
poison that may be harmful
to livestock. Its rhizomes
allow the plant to creep
into adjacent properties. It
is one of the most diffi cult
weeds to control and due
to its potential ornamental
beauty, many people do not
know it is noxious until it is
completely out of hand or a
weed control agent stops by
for a visit.
Tordon 22k and Telar XP
work well. In the case of
dense patches, Roundup
mixed with ammonium
sulfate can be utilized.
Waiting until the plants are
in the bud to bloom stage
of growth or late fall seems
to be the best time to treat
the plants. As always, when
using Roundup Pro make
sure you have a plan to
plant desirable species back
into the area for prevention
of regrowth and to maintain
habitat programs. There are
also various insects that are
available to help control yel-
low toadfl ax.

The defense
As with the other plants
that have a creeping root
system, mechanical control
is not the fi rst choice. Each
time the root is disturbed it
promotes stronger regrowth.
