Almost two months after the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission voted to remove gray wolves fiom the state's endangered species list, three conservation groups have filed suit to restoreprotection forthepredators. Nick Cady of Cascadia Wildlands said the suit, filed on Wednesday, wasn't done sooner because his group and the other co-litigants expected the Commission to delay delisting and ignore the stafI"s determination that wolves meet the requirements for removal fiom the state's list. Cady said,'We thought we had a fair chance the commission wouldn't vote to delist." In the weeks leading up to the Commission's N ov. 9 vote,Cady said conservationistswere gathering"peer reviews" ofthestate'sanalysis and not preparing a lawsuit. He said more than two dozen scientists were asked to respondtotheconservationists'review request,

"The best we can see is a tolerableroute." That's what Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett said about Idaho Power's Boardman-to-Hemingway power line, which might become part of the county's landscapeseveralyears in the future. On Wednesday the county commissioners met with Idaho Power ofIIcials, BLM Vale District Manager Don Gonzalez, and the owners ofland across which the 500-kilovolt transmission line might run. The meeting was designed to give county ofIIcials more information about the BLM's environmentally preferred route for the B2H line, which was shown on maps uploaded to the B2H website last month. And then they were taken down. Gonzalez explained why that happened. He said the preliminary environmentally preferred routes that are on the maps might change as BLM, the lead federal agency on the B2H proposal,

about 35 turkeys recently near Baker City and movedthebirds,which had been gobbling hay and silage meant for cattle, to a state-owned wildlife area west of North Powder. The trapping-and-relocating campaign probably will continue through the winter, said Phillip Perrine, who works at ODFW's Baker City ofIIce. The wildlife area, which is part of ODFW's winter elk-feeding operation,isclosed the public until April 10. But the area will be open to hunters during the spring turkey-hunting season, which runs from April 15 through May 31. Perrine said that although ODFW has trapped and moved wild turkeys before in Baker County, the birdshave been a greater nuisance than usual this winter. He attributes this not to the cold temperatures and snow, but to the"huge batch" of turkey chicks that hatched last spring.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald January 2, 1991 The Oregon Trail Preservation Trust and Baker County on Oct. 1, 1990, met its $390,000 commitment for construction of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center at Flagstaff Hill, according to a year-end report by Joyce Badgley Smith, Preservation Trust executive director. The State of Oregon likewise fulfilled its commitment to the project by contributing about $590,000. Federal appropriations of $1.3 million in September 1988 were joined Nov. 5, 1990, by approximately $4.8 million. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald January 2,2006 The year that boasts the driest debut in Baker County in 85 years bid farewell Saturday as one of the dampest periods in the past two decades. When the last drop had dripped into the airport's rain gauge at midnight Saturday, the 2005 precipitation total had reached 11.58 inches. Just two years in the past 20 were wetter — 1998 (13.98), and 1995 (12.03). ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald January 2, 2015 Thomas Angus Ranch of Baker City is one of the largest bull sellers in the U.S., according to the first BEEF Seedstock100 list compiled by BEEF magazine. The magazine, in a story published in its January 2015 issue, ranked operations by the number of bulls sold annually. The top 100 ranches all sell at least 200 bulls per year.

BAKER CITY HERALD —3A

B2H MAPS Continued from Page1A Gonzalez said it's not fair to landowners to publish maps online that are likely to change. "Peoplearegoing to getconfused and I don't want them working off the wrong one," Gonzalez said. There will be several new versions of the route maps as new information is received from the different cooperating agencies. Moreover, BLM's preliminary preferredroute isdiferent from Idaho Power's proposed path. The BLM's route would put the power line west of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, near the route of acurrent power linethatcrosses over Highway 86 on Flagstaff Hill. Idaho Power's proposed route has the line running a couple miles east of the Interpretive Center. Gonzalezsaid thelatestmaps are intended for agency officials to review and share information with landowners. Any new issues found — thathave notbeen already substantively commented on during past public comment periods — can be submitted to county officials who will provide them to project officials at the next cooperation meeting. 'The cooperatorsgetto consistently work with us iandl provide information that they get from their constituents and from themselves," he said."And that's why we want to make sure they have the most recent maps and the info that we have each time something changes." Gonzalez said input from the

After requests forhard copies ofthelatestmaps from a several landowners, Gonzalez called the local BLM office and had 50 maps made and delivered to Wednesday's meeting. Bennett also had copies of current maps that county staf had made, which show private property boundaries. Although those maps won't be available online, Bennett is making sure landowners can view them locally at the planning department at the Baker County Courthouse, 1995 Third St. Copies also will be posted at the Durkee Community Hall. After a brief discussion Wednesday, the commissioners asked that the public and landowners who had comments for the commissioners to present to the BLM to provide them by Jan. 18 so that Planning Director Holly Kerns, Bennett and county stafF would have time to compile them by Jan. 22. Bennett encouraged the public and landowners to call him at 541523-8200, email him at mbennettO bakercounty.org with comments or questions or stop by the planning department. "Get your input to us to us. That's critical," he said. Gonzalez said Baker County has done a good job in writing comments. "iBaker County'sl letter of comments for the DEIS is used quite a bit by the BLM to show examples of

'Here's how you do it,' " he said. Durkee rancher Bruce Owen said Wednesday that he's concerned that a power line route with less visual impact,aroute thatwas developed and agreed upon by local landowners, was not shown as BLM's environmentally preferred route. The route Owen referenced would follow a path west of the BLM's preliminary environmentally preferred route. "The problem is ithe preliminary environmentally preferred route) goes through the most scenic part of the valley," Owen said."It's the first thing people will see." Commission Chairman Bill Harvey asked Gonzalez if the Durkee communityagreed upon route and all others shown on the map were still open forconsideration aspossible final routes. Gonzalez said all the routes are under consideration. Owen also had concerns about how Idaho Power will treat landowners when and if they build the power line. ''Will they just do whatever they want?" he asked. Jeff Mattuccio, facility siting coordinatorforthe Boise-based company, said Idaho Power will work closely with landowners concerning easements and where access roads and gates would be located. ''We wouldn't just go in there willy nilly and just tear everything up. Any damagethat'sdonewe would repair that," he said.'We would sit down with you and discuss your concern and potential impacts."

Owen also said that he has had an offer on his property that was contingent upon whether or not B2H went across the land. The offer was $100,000 lessifthepower line did cross his property. Randy Lane, a right of way agent for Idaho Power, said all considerations are evaluated when negotiating with landowners. "All concerns and considerations can becompensated for,"he said. Bennett said when the time comes that landowners within the right of way will be negotiating with Idaho Power concerning easement purchases and other construction issues, the county will participate in those negotiations. 'The county — early on at least sevenyearsago — made itreally clear that we wanted to ensure that everyone was treated fairly and equally." he said."I don't believe that position as far as a county has ever changed ... We're concerned about that." Although the environmental impact statement slated to be finished this summer will finish the BLM's work on the project, the agency will not have the final say about whether B2H is built, and where. The BLM study will be subject to a public comment period as well as a 60-day review by the Oregon governor, Gonzalez said. And after the BLM has finished its study, the Oregon Department of Energy and its Energy Facility Siting Council will begin its review, which could result in further changes to the proposed route.

that sued the state for attempting to kill wolves from the Imnaha Pack in Wallowa County in 2011, disagree with the state's analysis and will now use the court to judge the state's decision. "Everyone who reviewed the state's analysis concluded, in varying degrees, that the analysis was

for wolves to be on the endangered specieslistisbecause they are protectedby statutes,guarded by best available science and immune from political gain. The commission is certainly not immune to that. The reason why the decision came out the way it did is political game play-

flawed," Cady said.

Todd Nash, a Wallowa County ranchers and chairman of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association's wolf committee, said he wasn't surprised by the suit. 'This is exactly where we predicted we were going to be," Nash said."This is what Nick Cady told the House of Representatives last

April. We hope that we can implement this rule into law through legislat ion sowe don'thave endless lawsuitson endangered speciesact." Baker County Commissioner and cattle rancher Mark Bennett alsowasn'tsurprised thata legal challenge was issued regarding the decision to delist wolves. One thing that concerns Bennett is the message the legal challenge sends to those who worked to fashion a compromise plan regarding wolves in Eastern Oregon. "It really goes all the way back to the beginning," Bennet said.'The iOregonl Cattlemen's Association, the conservation community and

the counties worked together and worked out a plan and we got to that point and now here we are with one side not keeping their portion of the bargain. "If you keep raising the bar for any discussion for any item, you are not going to get there," Bennett said. "I think this is just extremely disappointing. We had totolerate the deal that was made originally. We've reached the point where we will be able to start having some management controls and now we are back to extreme uncertainty," he said.

public is evaluated and has had a significant effect on how the environmentally preferred routes have changed since the draft environmental impact statement iDEISl was released in late 2014. "Based on the comments and questions that came out of it, we have new variations that we're evaluating now," he said."That shows you how important it is to make comments. And it can influence what ends up happening." New comments provided to the county that are found to have a significant effect on the routing would be reflected in ongoing changes to the maps until the final environmental impact statement iFEISl is

published. Gonzalez said the BLM is giving cooperating agencies, including Baker County, until Jan. 22 to comment on the project. That deadline was set after Oregon's U.S. Senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merldey, urged the BLM to give agencies more time. He said the review process originally was going to end on Jan. 8. "The environmental process does not require us to select the environmentally preferred alternative," Gonzalez said."It does require us to show one — that's why we show it — as tentative. We want to make sure people are aware of what appears to have the least amount of environmental impact if the progress goes forward." When the FEIS is releasedlikely in the late summer of 2016, Gonzalez said — there will be a

But late in September, Shell announced it was ending further exploration in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas because of disappointing results from an exploratory well.

GUEST EDITORIAL

n w i V

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The Legislature needs to clear up some of the confusion in the state's new paid sick leave law when it kicks oA'its 2016 session. The law begins Friday. But it's not clear how it will apply to farmworkers who are compensated on a piece rate, such as how much fruit they harvest, the Capital Press reported. Under the law, employers with 10 or more employees are required to provide paid sick leave. The Bureau of Labor and Industries recently completed the rules for implementing the law. BOLI clarified two aspects of the law that raised questions. Would a farmer's spouse be considered an employee and count as one of the 10 employees? BOLI Said ilo.

Farmers with perishable crops were also worried about employees being able to take sick leave one hour at a time. That could make it challenging to find a replacement in time during a harvest. BOLI said employees who work with perishable crops must take sick leave in four-hour chunks. That's a woeful attempt by BOLI to accommodate farmers. When it came to the question about piece rate, BOLI did not give a clear answer. The new rules say the "regular rate of pay" or the minimum wage must be used for piece-rate workers. Regular rate of pay is not defined. Does it mean workers can just be paid the minimum wage when on leave? How should the regular rate of pay be calculated? BOLI did not say. BOLI has said it is not going to penalize employers as they adjust to learning about the new rules, which is nice. But that doesn't stop a worker from suing employers. The Legislature and the state government have failed to give clear direction on what employers should do. The Legislature needs to correct that in 2016.

Your views Do we have to accept a grocery monopoly? I'm sure many of you are more knowledgeable about what is going on with the Safeway/Albertsons/Haggen saga than I am. However, I do want to voice my concerns. I have read that come next year l2016) we will be seeing Albertsons return? Am Icorrectsofar?Do wereallyw ant to be monopolized? Are there no other choices? Isn't there something a community can do to stop the monopoly? Why would we stand by and chose a monopoly? I can't see where it is in the best interest of the community. Prices have already increased through Safeway, close to the price gouging mark lin my opinion). The parking lot area is a nightmareon a good day.Ofcourse as hard as they try, they can't meet the total needs of the community. I would think the increase in volume sales would coverthe need foradditional workersso why such high prices?

A community the size of Baker City needs more than one grocery store to fill theneeds ofthepeople. Why would the economic developer go along with having the community subjectedtotwomajor grocery stores,owned by the same company, fulfill the needs of the community? It is a monopoly. From the survey passed around earlier this year, it looked like the store most people would have liked to come here was Winco. However, Winco has criteria to follow and this area does not meet that criteria. So what about a Grocery Outlet store which is mostly independentlyowned and operated by local families which would allow it to have a local personality, meeting local needs. I have to think we have the business talent in our area to do this. Why do those who make the decisions, on a local level, accept the monopoly as the solution? Why would anyone? Baker City, we can do better than that. Glenda M. Carter North Powder

Housing for veterans before Syrian refugees During the Christmas season, about a week ago,Ireceived a callfrom someone who was conducting a survey relative to several things affecting Oregonians in the coming election. One of the questions I was asked was "Do you favor admitting Syrian refugees to Oregon." My reply was "Absolutely not!" I wish I had added the following: It seems President Obama wants to admit 100,000refugees from Syria into our country. My first question is "Where is he going to put them"? Every major city in the country has a largecomponent ofpeople who live on the street at the present. Most of them, as I understand it, are veterans. When every veteran without a livable place to live has a home with the necessities oflife, then we can talk about addingrefugees — NOT BEFORE!" Alberta Bailey Baker City

SodaSiiringstonsBakerinchamiiionshiii game By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercttyherald.com

Baker was its own worst enemy Wednesday against Soda Springs, Idaho. Soda Springs used Baker turnoverstoposta 54-28 win overthe Bulldogs in the championship game at the Parma girls basketball tour-

nament. "They played very aggressive defense," Baker coach Mat Sand said of the Idaho team, winners of the Parma tourney for the second time. cWe matched it for a while. We handled the pressure. We would get steals then shoot ourselves in the foot. Turnovers were our biggest

with eight points. Brie Sand had seven, Kaeli Flanagan five, Jayme Ramos three, Grace Huggins two, Summer Phillips two, Madi Hampton two, and Hope Collard one. Baker hosts Council, Idaho, Saturday beginning with the junior varsity game at 3 p.m.

College Football's Final 2: Alabama vs. Clemson COTTON BOWL: ALABAMA 38, MICHIGAN STATE 0

ORANGE BOWL: CLEMSON 37, OKLAHOMA 17

i ero sover nartans By Ralph D. Russo AP College FootballWrtter

ARLINGTON, TexasThe loss still stung. It burned Alabama so badly to be beaten in the College Football Playoff semifinals last year that the Crimson Tide was determined to handle its business differently this time aI'ounrl. The players said they were more focused and promised to be more prepared, more precise in their execution and more relentless in their effort. Nick Saban said he saw something in his team coming into the Cotton Bowl that he had never seen before. Michigan State claimed it was ready for a 15-round brawl, but the Tide knocked out the Spartans early on Thursday night like a nonconference cupcake. No. 2 Alabama 38, No. 3 Michigan State 0.

problem." Baker led 7-6 after one quarter, then trailed 22-13 at halftime. Soda Springs then outscored the Bulldogs 32-15 in the second half. "I'm just happy the girls made it to the championship game. I'm proud of them," Sand said. Kylie Severson led Baker scoring

in the game," Saban said."I think this year we wanted to sort of take the game and really thought our guys had a vision of what they wanted and everybody paid the price for what they had to do in preparation." The Tide took it but not the way it had done for so much ofthisseason — atleastoffensively. Instead of pounding away at a Michigan State defense that was stacked to stop Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry from running wild, Alabama aired it out. Jake Coker played the game ofhis career, hooking up with Calvin Ridley for two touchdowns, and going 25 for 30 for a career-best 286 yards. Conventional wisdom on beating Alabama was to take away the run and make Coker, the promising Florida State transfer who sat the bench most of last season, win the game. Clemson might have to come up with a new plan. "He's a great quarterback, he's a great leader, and he can make things happen when we need them," receiver ArDarius Stewart saId. The Tide looked like a team with no weaknesses against overmatched Michigan State (12-2). The freshman Ridley was brilliant, streaking by defenders on deep throws and outfighting them on jump balls. He caughteight passesfor 138 yards. Jonathan Allen and theferocious Tide defensive front sacked Connor Cook four times and allowed the Spartans only one trip into the red zone — which ended with Cyrus Jones intercepting a pass at the goal line. Jones added a high-stepping 57-yard punt return touchdown for the Tide, which hardly even had to use the 242-pound Henry. He ran 20 timesfor75 yards and scored two touchdowns. The last made it 38-0 halfway through the fourth quarter. The Tide is the only team to be playing in the College Football Playoffeach ofits first two seasons. Last season the Crimson Tide couldn't get past the semifinals, upset by Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl.

i ersremain on Vun eaten By Paul Newberry AP National Wrtter

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Dabo Swinney was in no mood to talk about Clemsoning. "Next question," the coach snapped. No problem. It'stime to putthatterm to rest. Clemson, a team once known for such inexplicable stumblesthat a derisiveterm was coined forit,isheaded to the national championship game with a still-perfect record after a 37-17 smackdown of Oklahoma in the Orange Bowlon Thursday night. Quarterback Deshaun Watson turned NATIONAL in another stellar all-

around performance,

The defense did • Alabama vs. Clemson the rest, shutting • Monday, Jan. 11 down Baker Mayfiel d • 5:30 p.m. PST and Oklahoma's pro• TV on ESPN lific offense even after losingstar defensive end Shaq Lawson to a knee injury early in the game. "It's been 34 years since Clemson had a chance to win a national championship," Swinney said. "I knew that we would be here. It was just a matter of when." Clemson (14-0) dominated the second half and shut down Oklahoma's high-scoring offense that had averaged 52points over its lastseven contests.The Sooners(11-2)actually came into the game as favorites, but the Tigers showed their unblemished mark was no fluke. "For some reason, we were the underdog in the playoffs, "receiver Charone Peake said."Iwas glad to see us come out and dominate." Looking to become the first team in FBS history to finish 15-0, Clemson will face Alabama in the Jan. 11 national championship game in Glendale, Arizona. Alabama beat Michigan State 38-0 later Thursday in the Cotton Bowl. cWe're not worried about who we play," said linebacker Ben Boulware, named the defensive MVP. Watson certainly lived up to the hype of being a Heisman finalist, accounting for 332 yards and earning the offensive MVP award. He got offto a slow startpassing, butcame back to complete16-of-31 for 187 yards,including a 35-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow that gave Clemson some breathing room late in the third quarter. Watson carried the running load in the early going, finishing with 145 yards on 24 carries and scoring the Tigers' first touchdown on a 5-yard run.

DonalliTlumssavsclilicism of SillClintonisEielnile fair By Jill Colvin and Ken Thomas

Presidential primary schedule The map shows which month each state and U.S. territory is havingits 20t6 US. presidential primary or caucus

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is reviving memories of Bill Clinton's affair with a White House intern and his turbulent interactions with black voters during South Carolina's 2008 primary as theex-president prepares to campaign for his wife in New Hampshire. Trump'slatestbroadsides on the Clintons — a potential preview of a nasty, personal general election — could benefit both sides as they seek to energize voters leading into the first primary contests. But they could pose a longterm risk for Trump, some observers warn. "If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with histerrible record ofwomen abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!" Trump said Monday on Twitter to his nearly 5.5 million followers. "Remember that Bill Clinton was brought in to help Hillary against Obama in 2008. He was terrible, failed badly, and was called a racist!" he added. The attacks are the latest in an escalating feud between Trump and Hillary Clinton, who have been spending more time focused on each other as the first nominating contests draw nearer. In a phone interview with NBC's 'Today Show" on Tuesday, Trump said his comments about Bill Clinton were "fair game" after Hillary Clinton accused him of having a"penchant for sexism."

Crimson Irace'slaser

GRANDE RONDE RIVER • Catch rates have been very good on the Grande Ronde over the last week. However, some cold weather is in the forecast and may cause the river to ice up. All methods have been successful from fly-fishing to shrimp.

guess that I'm old school and slow to change. OK, there's no guessing about it. I am. I'm not always good at seeing how equipment in one realm can be used to cross over to another. But we see it every day in our own lives. For instance, Swabits made swabs for the medical community and crossed over and make some cool swabs for cleaning guns. So with the above said, when Mike Faw with Crimson Trace contacted me about testing a Crimson Trace laser grip for my pistol, my first thought was, "Sure, I could do an article on equipping your home defense pistol with one." I periodically write an article or two on home defense guns and rounds. Then it hit me Wow, I think they'd be great on my mountain pistol." My daughterand Iliketobackpack.It'snota lotof fun when a bear comes into your camp at night. One year we were going to backpack into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area. We got to the trailhead a little late, so instead of packing in the dark we threw up a tent at the trailhead and were going to hike in early the next morning. About 1:30 in the morning she woke me up, whispering, "Daddy, something is rubbing against our tent." By the time I got on my glasses, grabbed a flashlight and my.44 mag, it was gone. A few days later, when we packed out, there was a sow and two cubs not 200 yards from the trailhead, so I can only assume thatit was them that had paid us the midnight visit. Then one year I was on a September archery elk hunt by myself. I had barely gone to bed and I heard something two feet on the other side of my tent. The next morning there were some huge bear tracks coming up the trail to my camp. And how many other times have animals come into my camp while I'm backpacking? Or wolves circled our camp and spooked the horses? So withallofthe above said,after talking to Mike I automatically thought Ineeded toslap a laser grip on my.44 mag. If you have any kind ofan imagination at all then you can envision how impossible it is to see your sights in the middle of the night, much less be able to see a black bear or wolf when you have panic in the disco. W ith CT, a you don'thave toworry about lining up your sights. They provide immediate targeting with a bright red or green laser beam when you hold your gun in a natural firing grip. This innovation, called Instinctive Activation, saves precious time when seconds count. So if you install a CT, all you have to do is throw up your pistol and your hand will automatically activate the switch when you grip your pistol in your natural holding position. Then all you have to do is illuminate the area with your flashlight and putthe red doton theperpetrator. Believe me, you aren't going to find a black sight in the dark anytime too fast. Then another big application I see is tracking wounded animals. As you know, I love bear hunting. Ed Sweet and I used to take a lot of kids bear hunting for his TV show, "Kid Outdoors." So who do you think got nominated to crawl into the brush on his hands and knees to track wounded bears? Little 12-year-old Junior or Uncle Tom? We'd take the kids hunting in the spring so most of our bear hunting was after SeeClaycomblPage 2C

IMNAHA RIVER • Anglers are still reporting successful days on the Imnaha. The recent bump in flows likely pulled a few fish up from the Snake River, which will be available to anglers. While catch rates have slowed, the Imnaha will likely produce for the rest of the season. WALLOWA RIVER • Steelhead season is open on the Wallowa River and anglers are picking up a few fish. Winter fishing between Minam and the mouth at Rondowa can be very good for anglers willing to walk. • The Wallowa is also a whitefish factory and can produce some large fish. Whitefish are native to Oregon and are a respected sportfish across the West. Whitefish can be great in the smoker and are a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing. WALLOWA LAKE • Some holdover trout wilI still be available for the hardy trout fishermen willing to brave the cold weather. Kokanee can also be caught by jigging deep during the winter months. The lake does not reliably freeze every year. However, when the lake does freeze, ice fishing can produce good catch rates for trout and kokanee. JOHN DAY RIVER • Steelhead fishing is fair with fish being caught on the lower river below Cottonwood Canyon State Park. Several new summer steelhead have been detected moving past McDonald Ford into the lower river.

s the new year dawns, many people have thebest intention to strivefor a healthier life Gymmembership numbers are proof Derek Harmon, the lead trainer at Mountain Valley Fitness and Health in La Grande, said the New Year's resolution rush runs from Thanksgiving into the first few weeks of January. eWe see an increase of up to 100 new members," he said. However, not many New Year's resolutions turn out as intended — Harmon estimates that just 10 percent to 20 percent of new clients continue their regimen past the first few months of the new year. But there's more at stake than just a broken resolution. The American HeartAssociation recommends adults putin 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, or75 minutesperweek ofrigorous exercise, to help reduce the risk ofheart attack and stroke. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest adding two or more days of muscle-strengthening exercises each week to work all major muscle groups. And if you'd rather be out in the fresh airjust think of gym time as preparing you for head-

ing outdoors to ski or snowboard now, and to hike later in the year. "All of those activities are quite high impact," said Corey Jonas, fitness center director for the Baker County YMCA in Baker City. One way to prepare, he said, could be joining a Zumba class.

EASTERN OREGON

By Zach Umess

The Statesman Journal

MITCHELL — Walking atop Sutton Mountain feels a bit like entering a pocket of Alrican savanna perched high above the Oregon desert. W aves of grassland spread acrossa wide plateau spotted with gnarled juniper trees. A gigantic sky — cobalt blue in one half and dark with incoming rain in the other — hangs over a landscape where antelope roam andpygmy rabbitsbound. "I came up here for the first time in second grade, and it has always been this wild, special place," said Chris Perry, a Wheeler County judge who grew up in nearby Mitchell."It's one of those places with a natural isolation and feeling of wilderness, even thoughit' spretty accessiblefrom the road." Sutton Mountain is a long, 29,000-acre fault block that rises just above the Painted Hills, a popular tourist destination in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. In the past year, the two landmarks have become the center for one of the most interesting public lands proposals in Oregon. A bill introduced by Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley last May would establish a 58,000acre federal wilderness on Sutton Mountain and around the Painted Hills, creating what supporterscallone largerecreation-rich destination. The idea is getting tourists who visit the Painted Hills — over 70,000 people in 2015 — to extend their stay by exploring a new wilderness on Sutton Mountain. 'The Painted Hills are a greatintroduction to this epic landscape — a small area where you can drive in, take a few short hikes and be done in one afternoon," said Ben Gordon, stewardship director for the Bend-based Oregon Natural DesertAssociation."Sutton Mountain wouldprovidethatlarger,wilderexperience." The proposal isn't just about conservation. The bill includes conveyance of 2,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management property to Wheeler County for economic development. That's a big reason the Wheeler County Board of Commissioners and Mitchell City Council endorsed the wilderness proposal — not something that often happens in rural communities. 'There'spotentialforthisdealto breathe some new life into our community," Perry said."Tourism has been growing more than ever before, and the land conveyance gives the community the tools to help itself."

open sweep of canyons and desert spread out below us. Sutton Mountain was classified as a wilderness study area in 1996 — another reason federal designation wouldn't be a huge leap — but it wasn't always so. "I went to work for a rancher at an early age, back when this was still private land," Perry said."One of my first jobs was moving sheepand latercattle up here." After a few miles of uphill travel — and a lit tle more than 1,000 feetofclim b — we reached the mountain's plateau. It was quite a sight. A widetable ofgrassland spread across the top, with canyons channeling down the sides. The sky was so large it held three different weather patterns at once: bright blue sunshine, puffy white cumulus and dark storm clouds that would eventually hit us with rain, wind and hail. The most scenic part of the hike was along the long, sharp edge of the mountain, where clifFs drop thousands of feet onto the rolling landscape below.

'Timing was right' The ideaofcreating a wilderness area on Sutton Mountain has been around for overadecade,butany momentum had gone dormant whenGordon took thejob about 3-V2 years ago. He embedded himself in the community, visiting the area twice a week and taking part in community meetings once a month. ''When I started goingout itol visit people, it becameplain thattherewasalittlesupportfor the wilderness, but there was a lotofmisinkrmation out there anditneeded more organization," Gordon said."Ijustkeptmeetingpeople." Even so, Perry initially was against the idea of wilderness. 'There was nothingin it for the local public — the people who actually live next to the wilderness and aren'tjust visiting," he said."Ben worked very closely with the citizens, allowing some concessions and looking for ways to m ake it a win foreverybody.There' sa genuine sense that he cares about the community." The idea gained momentum thanks to a few breakthroughs. Perry suggested including the conveyance of 2,000 acres of BLM land known as the Golden Triangle to Wheeler County, for development into an RV park or another function that could bring in revenue. The moment also coincided with the beginning of the"Seven Wonders of Oregon" tourism campaign, which included the Painted Hills. The publicity brought a 61 percent increase in visitors to the Painted Hills and provided an economic boon to Mitchell. "It has been amazing for the townevery business has seen an increase," said Skeeter Reed, owner of the Oregon Hotel in Mitchell."The number of people staying at the hotel doubled this year, and they came from all over — Japan, China, Germany and the Philippines." The goal of the wilderness proposal, Perry and Gordon said, is to build on the momentum. "The timing was right," Perry said.

Onto SuttonMountain To understand how the Painted Hills and Sutton Mountain combination would work for an out-of-town tourist, I headed over the Cascade Range and into Eastern Oregon last November. I got a room at the Oregon Hotel in Mitchell — an adorable little town in the heart of the canyonlands, even if it has seen more prosperous days. The first day was spent hiking the Painted Hills, a remarkable place to be sure, but alsoso smallit'seasy to see everything within a few hours. The next morning I headed out to explore SuttonMountain with Perry and Gordon, the unique duo responsible for moving the wildernessproposalforward. A mutual trust developed between the two that allowed for something rarely seen — a legitimate compromise between rural and more urban interests. We got into Gordon's truck and headed around to the mountain's east side, the beginning of our cross-country trek, and set out from Carrol Rim Trailhead. We followed an old road uphill as the wide-

A waiting game Even with community support, passage of what'sofficially called the Sutton Mountain and Painted Hills Area Preservation and Economic EnhancementActis far from certain. A number of Oregon wilderness proposals are already languishing in Congress, and inaction could doom the goodwill built up by Gordon and the recent tourism to Wheeler County.

Over the past year,I've tried to clear up a lot of the misconceptions on food and drink: about salt, artificial sweeteners, among others, even water. Now let me take on alcohol: wine, beer and cocktails. Although I have written aboutthe dangerous effects of alcohol abuse and misuse, that doesn't mean it's always bad. A part of many complex and delicious adult beverages, alcohol is linked to a number of health benefits in medical studies. That doesn't mean the studiesprovide only good news, either, or that the evidence in its favor is a slam dunk. You won't be surprised to hear that, once again, my watchword — moderation-

Oregonians can get birth control without prescriptions The stat e'smost recent legislativesession saw the passage of a landmark bill allowing women to obtain contracepti ves from a pharmacistwithout a doctor's prescription starting Jan. 1, 2016. The law, which makes the medicati ons availabletowomen ages 18 and older, requires that they fill out a questionnaire about their medical history. In order to be certified to dispense the medications when the law takes effect Jan. 1, pharmacists must take a five-hour online training program offered through Oregon State University's College of Pharmacy. Insurance plans will still cover the cost of the birth control as they currently do, but it's not clear how much pharmacies will charge insurers for the time they spend counseling patients about contraceptives or whether the insurers will pay for it.

applies. Research into how alcohol consumption affects health has been going on for a long time.A 1990 prospective cohort study included results of more than 275,000 men followed since 1959. Compared with those who never drank alcohol, those who consumed one to two drinks a day had a significantly reduced annual risk of death from both coronary heart disease and "all causes." Those who consumed three or more drinks a day still had a lower risk of death from coronaryheart disease but had a higher annual risk of deathoverall. A 2004 study came to similar conclusions. It followed about 6,600 men and 8,000 women for five years and foundthatcompared with those who drank about one drink a day on average, those who didn't drink at all and those who drank more than two drinks a day had higherrates ofdeath. Results like these have been consistent across a number of studies in different populations. Even studies published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research agree that moderate drinking seems tobeassociated w ith dec a reased risk of death overall. However, alcohol seems to have dif ferent effectson differentdiseases.Almost allof the major benefits of drinking are seen in cardiovascular illnesses. In fact, with

SHOPPING Continued from Page6C St. Joseph Hoag Health's recent campaign is called "Shop with Your Doc" and is based at Ralphs supermarkets throughout Orange County. Grocerystores are an ideal place to teach people that they can become healthier by making small dietary changes and eating in moderation, said Vanessa Rosales, community affairs manager for Ralphs & Food 4 Less. '%hat betterplaceto reach the public with that message," Rosales said. She also said that the doctor and dietician help ease confusion for shoppers as they lry to make healthy

men, even consumption of a surprisingly large amount can seem protecti ve. When it comes to cancer, the picture isn't as rosy. For instance, a 2007 study involving the Women's Health Study cohort found that increased alcohol consumption was associated with an increasedrisk ofbreast cancer. More broadly, a 2014 systematicreview ofepidemiologic and experimental studies looking at alcohol and breast cancer found that the overall consensus is that each additional drink per day increases the relative risk icomparing the risk in two groups) ofbreast cancer by a statistically significant, but small, 2percent — although not the absolute risk. A meta-analysis of colorectal cancer and alcohol found that heavy drinkers, not light or moderate drinkers, were at increased risk ofthe disease. No relationship is seenwith respect to bladder cancer or ovarian cancer. A study that included all cancers found that light drinking was protective; m oderate drinking had no effect; and heavy drinking was detrimental. M oderate alcoholconsumption has been found to beassociated with other benefits, though. A cohort of about6,000 people followed in Britain found that those who consumed alcohol at least once a week had significantly better cognitive

function in middle age than those who did not drink at all. This protective effect on cognition was seen in people who drank up to 30 drinks a week. A 2004 systematic review found that moderate drinking was associated with up to 56percent lower rates of diabetes compared with nondrinkers. Heavy drinkers,though, had anincreased incidence of diabetes. This is where savvy readers should be asking: What aboutrandomized controlled trials? After all, epidemiologicevidenceand associations only go so far; they cannot get us to causation. Recently, in Annals of Internal Medicine, such a trial was published. Patients with well-controlled type 2 diabeteswere randomized to drink 150 milliliters of water, white wine or red wine with dinner for two years. The beverages were provided to patients free of charge. They were all placed on a Mediterranean diet with no calorie restric tions. Researchers found that those who drank the wine, most notably red wine, had a reduction in cardiometabolic risk factors,or those forheart disease,diabetesor stroke. This was especially true in patients who had certain genotypes. Further, no one had any significant adverseeffectsfrom being randomized to drink the alcohol. Synthesizing all this, there

seems to be a sizable amount ofevidence that moderate alcohol consumption is associatedwith decreased rates ofcardiovasculardisease, diabetes and death. It also seems tobe associated with increased rates, perhaps to a lesser extent, of some cancers,especiall y breastcancer, as well as some other diseases or conditions. The gainsfrom improved cardiovasculardisease deaths seem to outweigh all of the lossesin other diseases combined. The most recent report of the USDA Scientific Advisory Panel agrees with that assessment. But alcohol isn't harmless. Many people with certaindiseases ordisorders, and women who are pregnant,need to avoid it. Others who can't keep their consumption to acceptable levels need to abstain. Alcohol is very harmful when abused, so much so that it's difficult for me to tell people to start drinking for their health. That's rarely the conclusion of any studies about alcohol, no matter how positive the results. Nor is it the advice any doctors I know give. However, the evidence does seem to say that moderate consumption is safe, and that it may even be healthyformany people. If you're enjoying some drinks this holiday season, it's nice to know that they may bedoing more than just bringing you cheer.

choices."I tcan be pretty intimidating to someone who may not know how to read those labels," Rosales said. The shoppers didn't have to be St. Joseph's patients to get guidance from physicians as they fill up their shopping carts. Cecchini and a hospital nutritionist stood next to the pharmacy behind a table answering questions. One woman said she wanted to sweeten her tea and coffee and asked about the best substitute for sugar. A man said he was a vegetarian and took medication daily but that his cholesterol was still too high. "Sounds like you are doing everything right," Cecchini told him."Just don't give up the exercise."

Shoppers also received a &ee bag with measuring cups and a card with tips for navigatingthe grocery store: Choose foods with more fiber and less sugar. Use fish as a main ingredient instead of meat. Aim for a rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables. As Tamura and Cecchini pushed her cart through the store, she grabbed a few fruits, including apples and pears. Then they stopped in front of the bread aisle. She picked up a loaf of country potatobread and they looked at the label together. Tamura said she didn't realize that the bread had so much sodium. And that's before you add salted butterand garlic, he said. Cecchini encouraged her to

keep an eye on sodium levels in future shopping trips. But he also assured her that it's okay to make exceptions. aYou have to satisfy the mind and heart as well as your stomach," he said. Tamura has high blood pressure and high cholesterol and knows she needs to watch her diet. Shopping with the doctor was a reminder that one way to do that is by reading labels more carefully. For that night, though, Tamura said she was sticking with her plans for spaghettiand garlicbread. "Sounds like you have a nice dinner planned," he said, laughing.'%hen do we get to come over?"

But Michelle Meyer, director of bioethics policy at Union Graduate College-Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, said turning away familieswho refuse tovaccinate is misguided.

"I'm very skeptical that firing patients, which is an extreme and shaming act that amounts to patient abandonment, is going to have a positiveimpact,"Meyer said. No published studies have examined the impact that a policy of dismissing families has on uptake of vaccines or on thespread ofvaccine-preventable diseases, O'Leary said.

More technology, streaming options in fitness In 2016, expect to see even more technology used to measure body composition, aerobic capacity, intermuscular glycogen storage and more. The American Council on Exercise believes that will be among the top 10 fitness trends of 2016. ACE also believes peoples' busy schedules will boost demand for online, video-on-demand streaming services like Daily Burn, which will increase offerings next year. Also in 2016, expect to see more public-private partnerships promoting physical activity, more faithbased fitness and nutrition programs and group classes that combine several workouts, such as cycling, boxing and treadmill running. ACE also predicts experiencesnot just workouts — will become the norm.

Higher penalties for not having insurance The penalty for not having health insurance is going up in2016. It'scalculated eitherasa percentage of household income or per person, whichever is greater. In 2016, that will be either 2.5 percent of household income — capped at the total annual premium for the average price of a bronze plan sold through HealthCare.gov — or

$695perperson — capped ata m aximum of$2,085.For children under 18, the penalty is $347.50. In 2015, the penalty was 2 percent of annual income isame param-

eters forthecaplor$325 peradultand $162.50 perchild imaximum: $975l. Penalties were far lower in 2014. That year, they were 1 percent ofhousehold income or $95 per adult.

Minimum wage and overtime pay for home health workers Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, the base pay will increase to $14 per hour for Oregon's home health care workers who are members of SEIU Local 503. In 2013, base pay was $10.20 per hour, according to SEIU. In 2017, it jumps to $14.50 per hour with an opportunity to make $15 per hour. Also beginning in January 2016, home care workers nationwide will begin receiving overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours per week under a new U.S. Department of Labor rule. The home health care industry sued to block a national overtime pay and minimum wage mandate, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the rule. The industry has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

More expensive insurance premiums If you're buying individual health insurance coverage through HealthCare.gov, expect to pay higher monthly premiums in 2016. Health insurance carriers in Oregon priced their policies so low in 2014 that the premiums enrollees paid did notcoverthe costoftheirm edicalcare. That's why monthly premiums are spiking in 2016 at steeper rates in Oregon compared with the rest of the country. A study released in October by the Kaiser Family Foundation found Portland had the second-highest rateincreasesin itssilverplansbetween 2015 and 2016 — 22.8percent — ofma jorcitiesin each statebeneath Minneapolis, which saw increases of 28.7 percent. Bendites with Moda's bronze plans can expect to pay about 42 percent more if they stick with the same plans in 2016. Locals who have PacificSource Health Plans' bronze, silver or gold plans will see increases of 48 and 49 percent.

AGING Continued ~om Page6C This can cause part of the chronic, low-grade inflamm ationthatisassociated with the degenerativediseases that now kill most people in the developed world, includingheartdisease,cancer,diabetesand neurological disease. 'The action of miRNA-146a in older people appears to turn from a good to a bad influence," Shay said."It may be causingour detoxifi cation processesto declinejust when we need them the most." Some of the things found to be healthy for individuals, in diet or lifestyle, may be so because they help to conserve the proper balance between the actions of miRNA146a and Nrf2, the OSU researchers said. Alternatively, it may be possible to reduce excessive levels of miRNA146a with compounds that interfere with its function. There may also be other micro-RNAs associated with this process, they said, that need further research.

CHILDHOOD VACCINATIONS

academy's recommendation. 'These children deserve access to the care we give them," she said. 'They deserve the right to get m edical careirrespectiveoftheir parents'choices." M ore than 60 percent ofpediatricians reported spending about 10 minutes talking about vaccinations, OLeary said. The average well-child visitis 18 minutes, leaving little time to discuss other important topics. The need to constantly talk about vaccines leads to strained patientrelationships, said Dr. Peter Liber, founder of west suburban Wheaton Pediatrics. "If parents don't believe me when this is a slam dunk that vaccinations are a benefit to each and every child, you wonder if they will trust you on other things," Liber said. Starting in 2012, Wheaton Pediatrics stopped accepting new patients who weren't vaccinated, Liber said. The gmup also began informing existing families whose children were not up to date on their vaccinations that they would have 18 months to catch up or be asked toleave.

When Lisa Tamura goes to the grocery store, she usually picks up a few frozen pizzas for the nights she doesn't want to cook. But on a recent Thursday afternoon at the Ralphs supermarket in Laguna Hills, Calif, she stmlled right by the frozen food and headed straight to the fiuits and vegetables. That's because she had some help from the ultimate personal shopper — a family doctor named Phil Cecchini. ''What do you like to eat?a he asked. "Bad food," she responded, laughing. Cecchini, who works for St. Joseph Hoag Health in Orange County, spent the afternoon advising shoppers on what foods to buy — and what to avoid. "If you stick with the periphery, you are probably doing okay," Cecchini told Tamura, who recently moved from Hawaii to California.'You are avoiding all the pre-packaged, processed foods." Hospitals and health clinics around the country are increasing their efforts to promote exercise and healthy eating. They're offering yoga and cooking classes, sponsoring farmers markets and writing prescriptions for fresh fiuits and vegetables. One hospital in Connecticut opened a primary care clinic in a Stop & Shop supermarket and another in Michigan opened a demonstration kitchen. In California and Virginia, hospitals have partnered with schools to teach children about nutrition and exercise. Such programs attract new patients and build loyalty, but many nonprofit hospitals are also driven by afederal mandate to improve health outcomes in the communities they serve. In addition, some hospitals are working under new payment models as a result of the Affordable Care Act in which they are compensatedand held accountable for results more than ever before. That has led to more integration with primary care clinics, as well as more projects and campaignstohelp reduce chronicdiseases such asobesity and diabetes. Nearly 37 percent of Americans were obese between 2011 and 2014, according to a recent report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even in affluent Orange County, California, where obesity levels are lower, Cecchini said patients don't always know what foodscauseweight gain orraisetheir blood sugar. "People tend to know a lot more about nutrition, but there are still a lot of misconceptions out there," he said.'There is alotofroom forimprovement."

Effective Dec. 1, 2015, Centegra Physician Care will only treat children who are vaccinated according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Almost all physicians encounter parents refusing vaccines,according to a recent study. CHICAGO — For Dr. Laura Bianconi, the measles outbreakin The AmericanAcademy of PediPalatine earlier this year was the atrics stmngly endorses universal immunization, but within the field point. The cases spurred Bianconi and there is not agreement on how to other pediatricians at Centegra respondto parentalrefusals.

Families that in his 2012 national surveyis don't comply will have a month to about the same as in 2009, O'Leary find a new doctor. The policy only said.

Bianconi acknowledged that she has had familiesleaveherpractice before the policy change because they didn't want to expose their children to diseases in doctors' offices that could be carried by unvaccinated kids. But she said that public health interests were more important than business considerations in making the decision. It's not too often that doctors face a choice between serving one patient or another. The decision to dismiss unvaccinated children raises tricky ethical issues. In general, doctors are supposed to do the best they can with the patients they have. There are very few adult patients, for example, who eatright, exercise and don't smoke, and yet doctors don't turn them away, bioethicists say. The AmericanAcademy of Pediatric sdiscourages thepracticeof discharging patients solely because a paient chooses not to immunize. In its guidance, the academy states:"Families with doubts about immunization should still have accessto good medicalcare,and maintaining the relationship in the faceofdisagreement conveys respect and at the same time allows the child access to medical care."

CORVALLIS — Research at Oregon State University suggests it may be possible to slow age-related disease with new types of treatments. Scientists have tracked the syndromesassociated with aging to their biochemical roots, and identified a breakdown in genetic communication as part of the problem. The findings imply that aging happens for a reason, and that while aspectsofitm ay beinevitable,there could be ways to slow down disease development. A new study outlines findings about a protein, Nrf2, that helps regulate gene expression and the body's reactionto various typesofstressors. The research was published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine, in work supported by the National Institutes of Health and the Medical

"We're very excited about

the potential o f this areafo research." — Tory Hagen, professor for health aging research, Oregon State University

Research Foundation of Oregon. aWe're very excited about the potential ofthisarea ofresearch," said Tory Hagen, corresponding author on this study, and the Helen P. Rumbel Professor for Health Aging Research in the Linus Pauling Institute and the OSU Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in the College of Science. "At leastone important partof what we call aging appears to be a breakdown in genetic communication, in which a regulator of stress resistance declines with age," Hagen said."Aspeople age and their

m etabolic problems increase,the levels of this regulator, Nrf2, should be increasing, but in fact they are declining." Nrf2 is both a monitor and a messenger, OSU researchers say. It's constantly on the lookout for problems with cells that may be caused by the many metabolic insults of life — oxidativestress,toxins,pollutants, and other metabolic dysfunction. When it finds a problem, Nrf2 essentially goes back to the cellular nucleus and rings the alarm bell, where it can"turn on" up to 200 genesthatareresponsiblefor cell repair, detoxifi cation ofcarcinogens, protein and lipid metabolism, antioxidantprotection and other actions. In their report, the scientists called it a"longevity-assurance" factor. Nrf2 is soim portantthatit's found in many life forms, not just humans, and it's constantly

manufactured by cells throughout the body. About half of it is used up every 20 minutes as it performs its life-protective functions. Metabolic insults routinely increase with age, and if things were working properly, the amount of Nrf2 that goes back into the nucleus should also increase to help deal with those insults. Instead, the level of nuclear Nrf2 declines, and the OSU scientists say they have discovered why. "The levels of Nrf2, and the functions associated with it, are routinely about 30-40 percent lower in older laboratory animals," said Kate Shay, director of the Healthy Aging Core Laboratory at OSU and co-author on this study.aWe've been able to show for the first time what we believe isthe cause." The reason for this decline, the scientists said, is increasing levels of a micro-RNA called miRNA-

146a. Micro-RNAs have been one of the most profound scientific discoveries of the past 20 years. They were once thought to be"junk DNA" because researchers could see them but they had no apparent biological role. They are now understood to be anything but junk — they help play a major role in genetic signaling, controlling what genes are "expressed," or turned on and off to perform their function. In humans, miRNA-146a plays a significant role. It can turn on the inflammation processes that, in something like a wound, help prevent infection and begin the healing process. But with aging, this study now shows that miRNA146a expression doesn't shut down properly, and it can significantly reducethe levelsofNrf2. See AginglPage 5C

As 2016 begins, it appears to be the television year of Jane Lynch.

s oti a t 8e

ggBY JAY BOBBI

Not that 20 I 5 wasn't: Last March, the actress

wrapped up her Emmy-winning portrayal of Sue Sylvester on Fox's '"Glee"; and in the summer, she returned as host of NBC's "Hollywood Game Night," then won another Emmy for it. As the latter show begins anew Tuesday, Jan. 5 — and as she also hosts the People's Choice Awards for CBS

on Wednesday,Jan. 6 — Lynch is getting back into scripted series, too. Slightly delayed f'rom a planned November debut, a new sitcom and role are suited perfectly to her caustic wit.

Jane lynch lands heaven-senl role in 'Angel From Hell'

Premiering Thursday, Jan. 7, CBS' "Angel From Hell" casts her as Amy, an often bawdy stranger who suddenly appears on a mission to improve the life of understandably skeptical doctor Allison (former "Psych" co-star Maggie Lawson l. In the opener, Amy manages to save Allison f'rom a relationship disaster ... but is she truly an angel, or merely someone with delusions of being one? Presumably, time will tell, and so will the show that also casts Kevin Pollak as Allison's father and Kyle Bornheimer as her brother. "I read it and I laughed out loud and I loved it." Lynch says. "I called my agent and said, 'Let's get the ball rolling and see if we can't nail this thing for me.' So, yeah, I thought the writing was great. I love the relationships." Plus, Lynch adds, "I love who Amy is. I love what a mess she is, that she absolutely has no shame around any ofher alcoholism or the fact that she lives in her car, that she's just kind of who she is ... but the stakes for her are that she wants

to remain an angel, and this is kind of her last chance because she's really screwed it up before."
