The grant is from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

City officials want to buildasection ofthepaved pedestrian/bicycle path fiom the MyrtleStreetbridgeover the Powder River, along the river's east bank near Wade Williams Elks Memorial Park.

The section will end at a pieceofproperly thecity bought last fall.

Thecit y paid $30,000for the 7,500-square-footparcel, which included a home that will be removed.

The city plans to use the parcel as a parking area.

The new section would not connect with the existing path, which runs between Bridge Street and Hughes Lane.

The difficulty in securing property or easements makes it impractical to try to build the path along the river between Bridge and Myrtle streets.

He said13 petitions with 234 names have been returned to him, and he is awaiting the return of the other petitions.

Nygord identified the other members of the petitions and publicity committee as Dr. PL. Poulsen and Anthony Brandenthaler.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 4, 1990 Photo: Phase Complete — Outside decor for the Oregon Trail Regional Museum was completed Wednesday with the addition of two entryway lights. Phil Scheler, right, of BakerWelding, built the iron decor following designs done by artist Mick Brownlee. The pine cone design was chosen as part of the theme that accents the building's wagon wheels and lights. It will be seen inside as well when another decorative phase begins.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 5, 2005 The blossoming relationship between a La Grandebased environmental group and the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is producing more than friendly words from these traditional foes in the fight over logging in public forests.

Now it's producing logs, too.

Enough logs, in one recent Baker County case, to build about300 homes of2,000 squarefeeteach.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 13, 2014 The mistake was unavoidable, butTodd Callaway didn't stop to worry about his reputation as a hunter whose integrity is beyond reproach.

He just wanted to save the three cougar kittens.

And he did.

Callaway, 64, is both a hunter and a retired wildlife biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's (ODFWj Baker City office.

When he realized that the cougar he shot and killed on Thursday was a lactating fernal, he immediately started following the animal's tracks in the snow, hoping to find its den and, possibly, kittens.

He found the den.

Because his cellphone battery had died just a few minutes earlier, he went next door to his 6iends'home and asked them to report the fire.

Reese next went to the back door of the burning house and forced his wayinside and woke the man, woman and two small children and helped get them outside.

Although his family and 6iends have hailed Reese as a hero, he says it wasn't hard for him to enter the burning home.

He said he saw a vehicle parked in kont of the house and another behind it and he knew there were people inside.

'The attention is kind of cool," he said of the pride his familyand 6iends have shown forhisactions.

The critical factor, he said, revolves around a proper definition and execution of a productive dual-use program. ''What we need is the abilitytomanage federal forests in the same way we manage state and county forests," he sald.

Walden terms the process "active management" that w ill create healthy forests.

S BI1 Bl" S Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Oregon's school children will face new standardized tests in the spring, ones based on the Common Core educational standards. The tests almost certainly will be more diKcult than their predecessors, and fewer students are expected to pass. Oregon is one of more than 40 states to have adopted the Common Core education standards, which remain both misunderstood and controversial.

They're misunderstood because so many of us, including politicians on the right, have the story of their creation wrong. Common Core is not a curriculum. It doesn't require certain books, and it doesn't dictate that children in Oregon be taught exactly what kids in Tennessee are being taught. Rather, it says that all kids need to learn certain specifics and to be able to use what they learn. How they get there is leR to individual states, school districts and even teachers.

Common Core is not the product of the federal government. Rather, it was created as a collaborative effort among educators, governors, business leaders and others from around the United States. It's true that the federal government has made it far more attractive to states to adopt Common Core than to ignore it, but no state has been obligated to do so.

In fact, look carefully and you'll discover that many of the complaints about Common Core focus on the testing, not the standards. Just as Oregon pass rates might well drop, so, too will those rates in other states. The problem is expected to correct itself over time, however.

At some point states are expected to tie student test results to teacher evaluations, and not surprisingly, teachers and politicians on the leR aren't happy about the prospect even as they praise the standards. Oregon will avoid that particular problem this year because the state has a federal waiver from the requirement.

In the end, it would be a tragedy if the misinformation and sniping from both the leR and the right were to derail Common Core. Even its critics acknowledge the need for higher educational standards in this country, and Common Core offers them.

What's needed is not a scuttling of Common Core but an end to the fighting about it. Our children deserve no less.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Income inequali e ' de6ning c allenge'?' Better tell middle class Editorial from the St. Louis PostDispatch: A year ago Dec. 4, President Barack Obama said that"middle-class America's basic bargain — if you work hard, you have a chance to get ahead" had been jeopardized by growing income inequality and stalled upward mobility. He called this "the defining challenge of our time."

In 2014, America took a pass on that challenge.

This, even though by almost every measure, income and wealth economy widened in 2014.

This, despite wage stagnation as corporateprofitssoared and stock prices hit records.

The gap between the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans and everyone else is now the widest it's been since before the Great Depression. The wealthiest 0.1 percent ofAmericans — 160,000 families each with net worth of $20 million or more — now controls 22 percent of assets of all kinds. That's about the same percentagecontrolled by the 90 percent, the middle class and the poor combined.

Minorities and millennials have been particularly hard hit. But minorities and millennials stayed home in droves during the November election, when they might have made their voices heard.

Politically, income inequality lthe issue) was a loser. So much so that Obama himself abandoned the populist rhetoric in favor of a"lift the middle-class" approach. He and his fellow Democrats still took it on the chin in November.

Many middle-class voters, particularly white middle-class voters, still haven't bought into this "defining challenge of our time" notion. Americans are an aspirati onalpeople;m any preferto identify with the haves rather than the have-nots.

Perhaps the light bulbs will click on over their heads in 2015. We wouldn't bet on it. There are too many politicians ofboth parties guarding the light switch.

They knowwho butterstheirbread.

Last January, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the world's economic elite were warned — in words even more stark than Obama's — that income disparity is "among the most worrying of issues. It raises

concerns about the Great Recession and the squeezing effect it had on the middle classes in developed economies, while globalization has brought about a polarization of incomes in emerging and developingeconomies."

The Davos crowd greeted the "Global Risk 2014" study with a collective yawn.

The risk experts who did the study warned that"structural unemployment and underemployment" also posed systemic risks to the world's economies.

The study noted that"youth unemployment rates hover around 50 percent and underemployment lwith low-quality jobs) remains prevalent, especially in emerging and developing markets."

But if anything, the elite have less interestin proactively addressing income inequality than less afmuent people. Oh sure, some day the social unrest predicted in Global Risk 2014 may come to pass, but until then, it's business as usual.

One "10th percenter" lthe wealthiest 0.1 percent, who have a minimum of $20 million in assets) who is worried is Seattle entrepreneur and investor Nick Hanauer. Forbes magazine calls him the "posterboy forplutocraticguilt."

Not only does he support a $15-ahour minimum wage, but in June he wrote an article for Politico warning his fellow plutocrats, "If we don't do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us. No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality.

In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didn't eventually come out. You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It's not if, it's when."

Hanauer's screed went viral for a week and then sank slowly in the sea of apathy.

The big income inequality event of 2014 was the U.S. publication in April of"Capital in the Twenty-first Century," by the French economist Thomas Picketty. It has sold more than 100,000 copies, in print and e-book editions,

a staggeringnumber for a 700-page,

$39.95 hardcover originally published by a university lHarvard) press.

Odds are that notall100,000 copies were read, and even fewer understood.

The prosemay have been aimed at Picketty's fellow economists, but the appeal of"Capital" is that it provides a convincing set of reasons for how things got as out of whack as they did.

His datasuggest that historically, economic inequality is the natural order of things. In the Western world, the historic return on capital is roughly 4.5percent,he said,triple thehistoric growth of labor productivity.People cannot outwork money, so inequality becomes institutionalized, the wealth passed on between generations in stratified societies.

The 20th century saw two world wars and Depression that cut into the valueofcapital,thegrowth ofprogressive governance and a technology boom that amplified the value of labor.

Inequality shrank.

Now there is a reversion to the mean.

Capitalbecomes self-perpetuating within a small circle of families. Technology has turned on the individual, reducing the necessity of his labor.

Absent major government intervention in the form of higher wage guarantees and taxation, and absent further revolutions in technology, the inequalities are likely to worsen through the rest of the century.

In much the same way as global warming and its threat to future generationsareignored because they are inconvenient to privileged classes, so are the threats posed by income inequality.

You cannot wish these problems away.

Addressing them will take concerted action, but political action is forestalled by what Oxfam, the international relief organization, calls "government capture."

Politics is controlled by a wealthy donor class willing to invest in politicians.

What happens when there are huge inequalities that have been abetted by government and resistant to political change? We in St. Louis were given a close-up preview in 2014.

The future may look a lot like August in Ferguson.

WASHINGTON — Oregon ended 2014 without a single law enforcement fatality in the line of duty, the first time since 2012 the state has enjoyed a fatality-fiee year.

Nationally, there were 126 deaths in the line of duty for law enforcement officers, according to the National Law Enforcement 0$cers Memorial Fund's preliminary review of 2014 data.

That's a 24 percent increase fiom 2013, when 102 officers were killed nationwide.

Firearms i50l and traflic incidents i49l were the top causes of death in 2014. Gun deaths jumped 56 percent &om 2013, when there were 32 deaths.

Oregon has not had a death in the line of duty since Nov. 4, 2013, when Robert Libke, a reserve officer in Oregon City, was shot in the head while investigating reports of an armed

individual near a burning house. The 88-yearold homeowner killed himself after shooting Libke, who died &om his injuries the following

day.

Libke was the only law enforcement fatality in Oregon in 2013, but there were three in 2011, one in 2010, two in 2008 and one in 2007.

There weren't any between Dec. 22, 2003, when Bandon Police Department Reserve Officer Russell Simpson drowned, and June 16, 2007, when Marion County SherilI"s Deputy Kelly Fredinburg died fiom vehicular assault, according to the Oflicer Down Memorial Page, a nonprofit website that has tracked police deaths since 1996.

Airline spokeswoman Jessica Wheeler said Flight 558 from Los Angeles landed safely. She said the flight was approaching the southern Oregon airport when the plane's first officer was hit. Wheeler said the man was taken to a local physician to be cleared to fly. She did not know his condition.

The plane had been scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. Thursday departure for Las Vegas that had to be pushed back to Friday morning.

Wheeler said the airline filed a report with local law enforcement and will cooperate with the Federal Aviation Administration and FBI "on any investigation they may do."

FBI Portland spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele said she couldn't confirm whether the agency's Medford agents would be taking part in the investigation. She said the agency"doeshave theability to investigate laser strikes."

Wyden said he'd like to see the facility stay open, adding it'sregrettablethatlarge population centers with well-off residents are seldom asked to sacrifice when the postal service looksforways to trim costs.

"The question is, are we going to turn little communities into sacrifice zones, and cut off their communications?" he said.

Wyden said he will remain a stalwartopponent of government surveillance targeting American citizens.

He said he was particularly alarmed by recent comments

by FBI Director James Comey suggesting consumer electronics should come equipped with a"back door" making it easier for law enforcement to monitor communications, and vowed to fight it.

"I am gonna stop that cold," he said.

Wyden said despite his return to minority status, he doesn't expect his clout will be greatly diminished in the next session, pointing to his past work on the secure rural schools act and the Internet Tax Freedom Act during periods of Republican control.

"Some of the most importantlaws I wrotewas whenI was in the minority," he said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. iAPl — Luke Kuechly knows Carolina's defense didn't have much bite earlier in the season.

He said that made Saturday all the more special.

The Panthers held Arizona to 78 yards and forced three turnovers in a 27-16 win, the &anchise's first postseason victory in nine years. It's the fewest yards ever allowed in an NFL postseason game. cWe know who we are — menacing, stifling and we are going to get after you," cornerback Josh Norman said.cWe know when there is blood in the water and when there is, our sharks are going to eat."

The Panthers i8-8-1l held Arizona to 12 yards in the second half intercepted Ryan Lindley twice and sacked him four times in a dominating performance.

Carolina's defense has undergone a remarkable turnaround this season, going &om 27th in the league in Week 7 to 10th entering the playoffs.

And the Panthers only seem to be getting better by the week. cWe had a lot of new guys early on who had to get accustomed to each other," said Kuechly, the All-Pro middle linebacker who had a game-high 10 tackles and a key interception."Now we're all together and communicating — and that's huge."

The New York Giants held the previous NFL record for fewest yards in a postseason game, limiting Cleveland to 86 yards on Dec. 21, 1958.

— The Baltimore Ravens survived the tumultuous dismissal of Ray Rice, a sometimes spotty fall and a critical month without their suspended, all-everything nose tackle.

Winning in Pittsburgh in January hardly seemed too much to ask.

Allowed to hit the reset button in the playoffs, Joe Flacco and the NFL's postseason road warriors are heading to New England with their swagger fully intact.

of a pass rush that barely laid a hand on him, Flacco tossed two second-half touchdowns as the Ravens pulled away from the Steelers 30-17 in the AFC wild-card game.

"That's playofFfootball," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said.'That's Joe Flacco. The best quarterback in football. I'll take him every day of the week and twice on Sunday or Saturday night."

Flacco hit Torrey Smith for an 11-yard score in the third quarter and found Crockett Gillmore with a 21-yard pass in the fourth one play after an interception.

Houston rallies to win Armed ForcesBowl FORT WORTH, Texas iAPl — Houston quarterback Greg Ward had just thrown his third touchdown in a flurriedcomeback that included two recovered onsidekicksin a row to get the Cougars within a point in the Armed Forces Bowl.

Deontay Greenberry, already with two TD catches in that final 3:41, made a leaping catch in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion and the Cougars beat Pittsburgh 35-34 on Friday with an improbable comeback — the largest in an FBS game this season, and largest ever in a bowl game that didn't go into overtime.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo has his first come-fiom-behind victory in the playolFs, a re&eshing reprise for a career filled with season-ending disappointments.

The Dallas quarterback's late touchdown pass to Terrance Williams gave the Cowboys a 24-20 wild-card victory over Detroit on Sunday and sent them

to Green Bay for their first postseason visit since the Packers won the Ice Bowl for the NFL championship 47 years ago.

Anyone looking for a big exhale &om the 34-year-old quarterback who avoided more heartache in Dallas' first playofFgame in five years, well, it's not happening.

"Thereisnosenseofrelief,"said Romo, who also had a 76-yard TD toss to Williams to start the rally from an

early 14-0 deficit."Our aspirations weren't winning the division, as great as that was. And it's not just winning a playofF game, asgreatasthatw as."

The Cowboys i13-4l will play their third divisional round game under Romo against the Packers on Sunday.

He lost the first two, including at home to the New York Giants during the 2007 season when Dallas was the top seed in the NFC.

Turned out that when he was healthy, Wagner's play as Seattle' sstarting middlelinebacker was tooim pressive not to be recognized.

W agner was one ofthree Seahawks to bevoted to The Associated Press All-Pro first team on Friday. He was joined on the first team by two familiar names: Cornerback Richard Sherman and &ee safety Earl Thomas. It's the third straight season that both Sherman and Thomas have been first-team selections, but the first time Wagner has been honored.

Wagner finished the regular season second on the team with 104 tackles.

Sherman and Thomas were just two of six players to repeat fiom the 2013 All-Pro team. Sherman finished the regular season with four interceptions, while Thomas had one. For Sherman, the four interceptions tied a career-low fiom his rookie season in 2011 when he started just 10 games.

Nter TheHolidaySplurge,It's TimeForSomething Simpler

MEG HAWICS

Nothing small about the micro adventure Alastair Humphries is a British explorer who has crossed many mountain peaks in desolate continents, navigated terrain most people have not even seen pictures of, and biked 44,000 miles around the world. In 2012 he was named a National Geographic Explorer of the Year, but it wasn't for any of these adventures. This honor was based on a new concept of adventure that he had spent the previous year embarking on and promoting: the microadventure.

Alastair describes the microadventure as,"Simple expeditions and challenges which are close to home, affordable, and easy to organize.Ideas designedto encourage ordinary people to get Out There and Do Stuff for themselves."

When Alastair first introduced his idea tothew orld in 2011a friend of ours shared it through social media. At first I thought, "big deal, we have a kid now, all of our adventures are micro."

Then after some thought my husband and I decided to really latch on to the idea and our vision changed. Many of our adventures became redefined.

To us microadventures meant trying something new, taking a different approach to things, getting outside even if we only had a short amount of time. As one of my fiiends says,"In my mind, a microadventure is a short outing that gives me sanity."

Anew year arrives: Don't waste

any of it The New Year has started and lies just before us once again, to go through it as we have in the years that have already passed us by. We can make no changes or improvements to what has been. I offer you a new perspective: I would like to have lived life before I went through it as far as I have.

I remember waiting for life to begin without knowing that I was already living it and should be cherishing it as it was at each moment.

I didn't know how or what was expected of me in living on this planet.

I didn't understand the limitations of each age, always wanting more and looking for the next event instead of understandingthe value ofmy age or position in life at that time.

If I had been old at the time I was born, mature in my thinking and knowing about living with others, I could have seen myself as I was through other eyes and improved myself to benefit the world and those struggling to live through it the same as I. I would have liked knowing what it would be like being a youngster, a teenager, an adult, a mother, an old woman so that I would have known better how to make the most of each age before I went through it.

Soups are perfect this time of year. Try this baised greens and potatoes with lemon and fennel.

By Russ Parsons Los Angeles Times

I will bow to no one in my affection for holiday cooking. For our Christmas open house every year, Im ake gallons ofposole and black beans.

One family holiday tradition is spending a day decorating hundreds of cookies. There is no Christmas Eve without all-youcan eat Dungeness crab nor Christmas morning without a breakfast with migas and julekake. The month of December seems tobe one solid buffetof parties, dinners and an almost constantbarrage ofcookies, tamales and big hunks of roasted meat.

I love it all, but every once in a while,Ineed abreak.Maybe a quiet dinner in &ont of the fire with "Foyle's War" or "Longmire."

Aftera longworkday, you won't believe how reassuring a baked sweetpotatowith good butter and lots ofblack pepper can be.

If I've got a little more time and feel like puttering, I usually find myself turning to differentkinds ofvegetable soups or stews. Honestly, I sometimes think you could throw an almost random select ion ofvegetables in a pot and bring them to a boil and wind up with something pretty tasty — if you know what you're doing. Here are a few guidelines.

Choose carefully Let mestartby apologizing for that word "random." In cook-

Soups are perfect this time of year. Try this spiced vegetable soup.

ing — oratleastgood cooking — nothing is truly random. But you'd be surprised how far you can get by sticking with that old local-and-seasonal thing.

Potatoes, fennel, winter squash and greens? I can think of half adozen dishes withouteven trying.

You need starch It gives soup heft. If you're usingpasta,riceor grains,cook them first and add them at the end so they don't muddy the broth or overcook. If you're using potatoes, use smooth-skinned boilers and add them early,so

they have time to absorb flavors.

When in doubt, add greens And then if you're still uncertain, add more greens. I don't know a cook who doesn't have a few bagsofodd scraps oflettuce, kale and chard in the crisper drawer. Soup is a great way to get the most out of them, and the more iand the more kinds), the merrier.

Water's fine Sure, you can use a vegetable broth if you want, but don't overlook simply adding waterthat way, you also can control the

amount of salt more accurately.

If you've got the right blend of vegetables, you won't need any added flavors.

Season assertively If there is one common fault with vegetable soups, it's timidity in seasoning, particularly salt.

As always, you don't want the foodtotaste salty,buttheright amount awakens all the other flavors. This is especially true if you've added starches — they suck salt out of a soup like nobody's business.

ADVENTURE Continued from Page 1B I think most people would agree that early December in Eastern Oregon was just blah.

The weather combined with short days was a drag. My family needed a microadventure so on one of those less-than-beautiful Saturdays we ended up at the Lookingglass Fish Hatchery a half hour north of Elgin. Other than the resident employees and hundreds of thousands oflittle fish we were the only ones there. To be honest there wasn't a lot going on at the hatchery that day. We could have continued the theme of December blah, but our kids were excited to be there and we were determined to have a good time.

Leaving the hatchery we stopped at a river confluence and threw small rocks off a bridge.

On ourway home we stopped in Elgin for a burger and played at a tiny park with a really tall, steep metal slide. Our 4-year-old thought that slide was amazing, so amazing that for the

MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 2015

HOME 8 LIVING next week he frequently asked if we could move to Elgin just so he could play on that slide. We went to a new place, we did something new, the microadventure was a success.

Alastair didn't necessarily have kids and families in mind when he set out to promote the microadventure, but naturally it's a great fit. To have an adventure all a family needs is something new and out of the ordinary. Simple and local doesn't mean it's any less extraordinary.

As Alastair says,"Adventure is all around us, at all times. Adventure is accessible to normal people, in normal places, in short segments of time and without having to spend much money.

Adventure is only a state of mind."

May this new year bring your family many microadventures. You can read more about Alastair Humphries and all his adventures at alastairhumphries.com.

IX: WI

By LindaGassenheimer Miami Herald

Here is a quick, easy, Mexican-style dinner for this busy time of year.

Stock up on some tortillas, a jar of black bean pate, shredded cheese and sliced deli turkey breast, and you can have dinner on the table in 5 minutes.

If you can't find black bean pate, use drainedsalsainstead.

Jicama is a root with a thin, tan-colored skin that looks like a turnip. When peeled, it's crisp and juicy. In Mexico it's eaten raw, seasoned with a little lemon juice. Once peeled, cut or sliced, it retains its texture and color. I like to use it for crudites in addition to salads.

Warm tortillas in a microwave oven for10 seconds or place in a toaster oven for 15 to 20 seconds. This will make them easier to roll. Spread tortillas with black bean pate, place sliced turkey on top of the pate, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place on a plate.M icrowave 45 seconds on high or until cheese melts. Or, place in toaster oven for 2 minutes. Cut in half crosswise and serve sliced tomato on the side.

Wine Fred Tasker's wine suggestion: Let's take a chance on a nice, big, dryrose of pinot noir.

The nextmorning we were in awe as we looked around the park and saw we were sitting in a meadow with a backdrop of the snowcapped Canadian Rockies towering over us. It was truly breathtaking.

That day was spent at the historic Fort Steele Heritage Town just across the highway. This was originally a town that swelled to over1,000 peoplein thelate 1890s, on the site of a fort which had

been established earlier to handle disputes between the Indians and prospectors.

Because ofitslocation and the large population it grew to include 11 hotels, 4 restaurants, 4 general stores, a hardware store, a brewery as well as other businesses such as a Chinese drug store, tailor shop, barber shop, dentist's office and lawyer's offi ce.By 1910,the population had greatly declined, but the buildings, many with original furnishings, remained and by late 1950sthe localsrealized thevalue of this period of their history and didtheirparttopreserve thetown.

OAKLAND, Calif — Like many churches in the days before Christmas, the Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana Hispana in East Oakland held a posada one recent night. But rather than reenact Joseph and M ary's search forshelter,this candlelight procession told a contemporary tale much on the minds of congregants.

Participants portrayed a Honduran family escaping gang violence and extortion, in recognition of the thousands of unaccompanied Central American minors and families with young children who have recently traveled to the United States, where they awaitcourtproceedings.

About 60,000 unaccompanied children fiom Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala were taken into custody at the Southwestern border fiom October 2013 through November 2014, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Families with young childrenhave also arrived by the thousands each month.

The largest number of unaccompaniedminorsto beplaced withrelativesorsponsorsin California are in Los Angeles County, federal statistics show.

There, several philanthropic groups are raising money for legalrepresentation and have hiredsomeone to coordinate the effort. Gov. Jerry Brown has also committed $3 million for legal help statewide.

In the Bay Area, where the second-largest group has settled, a particularly robust activismhas developed,fueled in part by the region's historyas abirthplace ofthe
