A new Oregon study says homes in the Baker City area have a moderate risk of containing elevated levels ofradon, a radioactiv e gasthatisaprim ary cause oflung cancer among nonsmokers.

The studyindudes results fiom radon testingin 27 buildings in the 97814 ZIP code.

Thatindudes Baker City as well as some surrounding areas.

Those results were submitted to the state by manufacturers ofradon-testing kits. Those kits, which usually cost between $12

and $25, areavailableatm any storesthatsellhardware.

Testingis necessary to detect radon because the gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless.

The Oregon HealthAuthority study assigns arisk level — low, moderate or high — for ZIP codeswhere atleast20buildings have been tested for radon.

Areas with an overall score of 1-4 are deemed at low risk A scoreof5-7ism oderaterisk,and 8-10 is high risk.

Baker City's score is 7.

La Grande's scoreis9,putting it in the high risk category.

The Oregon HealthAuthority

released the statewide report as part of National Radon Action Month in January.

Although the report attempts to quantify the radon risk geographically, state officials emphasize that their overriding message applies equally to everyone in Oregon, regardless of the statistical riskin their ZIP code.

That message is simple: 'The onlyway to know ifyour particular house has a radon problem is to test," said Brett Sherry, radon program coordinator for the Health Authority.

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 11, 1965 Three former Baker High School students have been accepted in a program that will allow them to study abroad, two during the spring term of 1965 and one during the school year of 1966-67.

Creagor Hayes and Lee Bollinger Jr., both students at the University of Oregon, have been accepted in the American Heritage Association Europe spring term study of literature program offered by the Oregon State System of Higher Education. Their study centers will be London and Rome with visits to other countries including France and Germany.

Shelley Hayse, a 1964 graduate of Baker High School and now a foreign language major at Portland State College, will study in Hamburg, Germany, under a grant for the school year of1966-67.The program is sponsored by theWest German government.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 9, 1990 Anthony and Nancy Silva got a taste of Monday morning's windstorm, finding their barn and a nearby ponderosa pine destroyed by wind gusts.

"It sounded like a freight train. And that's all I could hear was the wind," Mrs. Silva said. The couple live next to the Wingville Cemetery.

Silva said the disturbance occurred between 2:15 and 3 a.m. Monday, with power going out at about 2:30 a.m.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 10, 2005 Gold made Baker County famous143 years ago, but these days a different sort of prospector combs the hills seeking not a fortune, but a goat.

The county's reputation as the place in Oregon to get mountain goats continues to spread like word of an absurdly rich vein.

Many of the goats that today scale the more precipitous parts of theWallowa Mountains and Hells Canyon actually spent their kidhood in the Elkhorn Mountains west of Baker City.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 17, 2014 Electricity is one of the definitive elements of modern society.

The electricity that surges through the massive American power grid lights our homes, heats our kitchens and personifies progress.

Until it suddenly goes out.

In a flash, all of our seemingly state-of-the-art pieces of technology are transformed into blocks of plastic and glass.

Last weekend residents in Union County — and a few in Baker County — suffered through several power outages, including one that left a large number of people in the dark. The culprit in both counties — in one form or another — was wind.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Don't be misled by reports that the flu shot doesn't protect &om this year's dominant strain. Getting the inoculation is still the best protection against the illness.

That's important, as the flu has gotten an early start, already reaching levels more common later in the season. The Centers for Disease Control reported last week that 15 children had died of flu in the United States by Dec. 20, compared with four by that date in the previous year. Hospitalization rates for the general

population hit 9.7 per 100,000 people compared with 4.3 per 100,000 last season.

The dominant strain, H3N2, causes more serious illness than some other strains, and this year's shot doesn't fully protect against it. That's because it mutated after the shot was formulated. Still, it does provide some protection &om H3N2, along with stronger protection &om other strains.

About 40 percent ofAmericans have been vaccinated, according to the CDC, which says the protection is especially important for young children, older people and those with chronic health problems.

Health experts say many people are unaware ofhow serious the flu can be. Since 2004, the number of children who died of flu each year has ranged &om 35 to 171, except for 2009 when the total hit 348. Eachyear,5 percent to 20 percent ofAmericans are sickened by the flu, with seniors'hospitalization rate reaching 38.3 per

100,000.

The CDC says it won't know till later if this will turn out to be a severe season overall, but it is certainly starting strong. So far, CDC maps show more illness in the eastern part of the nation.

Experts say our best protection is to get the vaccinationand tow ash ourhands repeatedly and keep them away &om our faces. In addition to protecting ourselves, we can help stop the spread and protect others. Despite reduced protection &om H3N2, the vaccine is well worth the effort.

It's also easy to plunk down $300 to buy Pacific Avenue.

In each case the money isn't yours, and no dollar spends more effortlessly than the one you didn't earn.

The key difference, of course, is that in the case of the minimum wage we're dealing with real money thatrealpeoplepay torealbusinesses for goods and services, as opposedtothew orthlessrectangles of shoddy paper inside the "Monopoly" box.

I don't object to the government, w hether at the stateorfederal level, setting a minimum wage.

But I endorse this practice not as a means to ensure economic equality— a concept sosubjective asto be meaningless in anything except a totalitarian state — but rather to preventoutrageous abuses of workers.

America is far from Dickens' London, to be sure, but it seems to me reasonable for the government to try to prevent people from running sweatshops.

been $7.25 since 2009.

JAYSON JACOBY States can't have minimum wages lower than that, but many have set higher rates.

Oregon's, at $9.25 per hour, ranks

second behind Washington's $9.47.

Yet now there's a national movement, centered on the fast food industry, whose proponents advocate for the $15 per hour minimum, a wage that the Seattle City Council, and voters in San Francisco, approved last year.

For Seattle ,that's58 percent higher than Washington's currentminimum wage, and forSan Franciscoit's67 percent above California's.

But here's the thing: I'm pretty sure Seattle won't guarantee that shoppers get 58 percent more groceries, or that San Francisco will allowdrivers to pump 67 percent more gas per dollar the next time they fill up.

In fact theoppositeisalm ost certain to happen — customers in those two cities will pay more for certainproducts to coverthe big

become 58percent more valuable to consumers, which are the typical reasons people get a raise. iAlthough 58 percent, I'll concede, is quite a formidable task — do you think you could do half again as much at your job tomorrow as you

did today?)

Economic libertarians argue that the government shouldn't meddle at all in such matters, including setting minimum wages.

I have a slightly more liberal philosophy, as I noted some paragraphs back, yet I understand economic reality in a republic more clearly, I think, than those who demand that

the$15wage become the federal

minimum.

For most businesses, payroll is the biggest expense, or nearly so.

You don't have to grasp economic fundamentals — and I don't, as my Econ 101 professorcan surely attest — to know that forcing businesses, under penalty oflaw, to boost their personnel costs by more than half will have a significant effect.

And customers aren't the only ones likely to suffer — indeed, they probably will get offlight compared with some of the minimum wage workers who are supposed to benefit most from this governmentpay hike. guaranteed generosity.

Many economists say it's likely, iThis might be beneficial to San if not certain, that some businesses Jose and Everett, however.)

ono 0 ' m one Some businesses might do all of those things.

If you're making $10 an hour, a $5 raise might seem like a lotterylike bounty.

But notifyou end up with no paycheck at all. iAnd don't expect government benefits to include a $15 an hour stipendforreading the"help wanted" ads. Although, now that I think about it, maybe youshould expect that.)

Even if you do get the raise, the higherpricesforfood and other necessities will weaken your newfound economic muscle before you get to flex it.

I think it's significant that even some backers of the $15 minimum wage understand it's a goal which can't be reached immediately.

Both Seattle and San Francisco are phasing in their $15 minimums over several years. The new wage won't take full effect in San Francisco until 2018, and in Seattle until 2021.

Officials in those cities, where the average wage is already considerably higher than in Baker County and thus the effects of the $15 minimum not likely to be as profound as it would be here, recognize the foolishness of tinkering with the economy using bumper sticker slogans based on arbitrary figures

such as $15 per hour. iA $15 minimum wage, by the way, equates to an annual salary of about$31,200 for afull-tim e

worker; Baker County's average

salary in 2013 was $32,061.)

Although Oregon, as mentioned, has the second-highest minimum wage, our state doesn'tincrease thatwage justbecause protesters shout that we should.

Instead, the state's minimum wage goes up only if the federal Consumer Price Index does. Oregon at least acknowledges the connection between wages and the economy as a whole, rather than ignoring the reality, in the manner of a five-year-old who closes his eyes and hopes the lima beans on his dinner plate will disappear.

In the end I think most people understand intuitively why the government should limit its involvement in what private businesses pay their workers.

Think of it this way: Most of us wouldn't want the government tagging along with us at the grocery store, steering us away from the meat and the beer and trying to sneak in organic Brussels sprouts while we're comparing sugar-laden breakfast cereals.

Why, then, would we trust government to decide how much someone's paycheck ought to be?

The feds and the states, it seems to me, have thrust their fingers deeply enough into that till as it is.

Just have a look at your W-2 when it shows up in the mail soon.

OREGON BRIEFING Umatilla Depot land might have a price

By Dylan J. Darling

"We onl y havea collaron one... butyou can assume that they are together."

WesCom News Service

Once a loner, perhaps the most famous wolf in Oregon is now leader of a pack.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Wednesday that the agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Servicehave designated OR-7, his mate and their pups as the Rogue Pack. aWe only have a collar on one ... but you can assume that they are together," said Michelle Dennehy, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Fish and

Wildlife.

The wildlife management agencies define a pack as a group of wolves, usually a male, female and their offspring from one or more generations, she wrote in an email. A pack may also be a group of four or more wolves traveling together in winter.

By either definition, OR-7, his mate and their pups are a pack — the Rogue Pack.

"It's a good name," Dennehy said."It's very Oregon."

Wolf packs are typically designated by the area or wildlife management unit where they are found, according to ODFW. After earning fame for a long, multistate trek a couple of years ago, OR-7 now spends much of his time in the Upper Rogue River Basin and Rogue Wildlife Management Unit.

Originally born into the Imnaha Pack in Oregon's northeast corner in 2009, OR-7 set out as a lone wolf in September 2011 and covered thousands of miles wandering through Central Oregon and into Northern California. Oregon, California and federal wildlife managers tracked his movements using a GPS collar placed around his neck in February 2011.

Continued from Page1A Southwick said that the average daily prisoner count in 2014 was 40, the highest during his 10 years as sherif.

In spite of that, Southwick said there hasn't been aneed to release inmates early,asisthe case in other counties. aWe do not have that problem here," he said.

Southwick said the higher number of prisoners doesn't indicate a proportional increase in crime in the county.

Rather, he attributes the increased incarceration to more people being jailed for parole and probation violation.

Baker County has one of the lower crime rates among Oregon's 36 counties, Southwick sald.

In other business Wednesday, commissioners: •Approved aM icroenterprisegrant contract with Business Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority. The $40,000 grant will help train low to moderate income people who want to start, stabilize or grow a microenterprise. This training is administered by the Northeast Oregon Economic Development District iNEOEDDl and serves Union, Baker and Wallowa Counties.

•Approved an ordertoappoint Damien Yervasi and Jeremy Thamert as Justice of the Peace Pro-Tem for the Baker Justice Court.

Yervasi or Thamert will preside over the court at such times that the Don Williams is not available.

• Appointed Bennett to serve as budget officer for the city of Unity, which does not have a City Council. Commissioners also passed a resolution granting Bennet and Jason Yencopal of the county the authority to sign documents on the city's behalf.

• Postponed action on a Memorandum of Understanding between the county and Mary Jo Carpenter, manager of Community Connection, concerning a $45,000 grant from Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs. The delay will giveCarpenter time toreview the proposed agreement. The grant provides funding for the transportation ofveterans to and from medical appointments and will be administered by Community Connection.

establishedterritory in the southern Cascades between Klamath Falls and Medford.

In June they announced they had photographed pups born to OR-7 and his mate, making them the first breeding pair of wolves in Oregon's Cascade Range since the mid 1940s.

How many pups the pair currently has with them is unclear, but last year they were confirmed to have three, said John Stephenson, Oregon's wolfcoordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Stateand federal researchers hope to update the number later this year as partofa statewide survey of wolves.

Video turned into the Fish and Wildlife Service in late November showed five pairs oftrackstogether,he said.

The video was shot Nov. 22 on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in an area OR-7 and his pack frequents.

"So that's a pretty strong indication that they still have three pups," he said.

Efforts this fall to trap OR-7 and replace his collar or capture another member ofhis pack and afBx a new collar were unsuccessful, Stephenson said. Researchers plan to try again this spring.

Keeping an active collar on one of the wolves allows the pack to be tracked.

"OR-7's collar is still working, but it is old," he said."It is doing extra duty."

UMATILLA iAPl — Northeast Oregon leaders have been working the past few years under the assumption that the U.S. Army would dispose of the site of the former Umatilla Chemical Depot by giving it for free to a local development authority.

But the East Oregonian newspaper 4ttp J/bit. ly/17n2FMi l reports that leaders of the local authority say Army higher-ups now are thinking of gaining revenue when the land returns to civilian uses.

The Army says it hasn't made a decision.

A defense contractor finished incinerating chemical weapons at the depot in 2011, a treaty requirement. The site has been cleared.

The local plans are to use some land for a National Guard training facility, some for a wildlife preserve and therest,sold orleased,forindustry and agriculture.

Owner suspects cougar in horse's death BEND iAPl — The owner of a horse that was found dead Wednesday near Bend believes it was killed by a cougar.

Theresa Denham tells KTVZ 4ttp://bit.ly/1w5uVYc l it was ripped open through its neck and chest and partially eaten.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife confirms a cougar was seen in the area Monday but biologists can't confirm the horse was killed by a cougar because the carcass was buried after it was found by irrigation district employees.

It was a retired Tennessee Walker show horse named Miracle Walker.

Driver cited for crashing fish tanker truck EUGENE iAPl — Oregon State Police say the driver is to blame in the crash of a tanker truck that was moving juvenile salmon from a failing hatchery to safer waters.

The driver, 45-year-old Ray C. Lewis of Umpqua, was cited Wednesday on drunken driving and reckless driving charges.

The crash on Dec. 30 on the side of the McKenzie Highway near Walterville spilled and killed 11,000 Chinook salmon smolts.

The Oregon Fish and Wildlife truck was hauling the final load out of 227,000 salmon that were moved to the Row River because oflow water at the McKenzie Hatchery due to problems at the Leaburg Dam. Lewis was treated at a hospital for head cuts and other injuries.

Injured climber rescued from Mount Hood PORTLAND iAPl — The Clackamas County sheri6"s office says a 62-year-old suburban Portland man who fell while climbing on Mount Hood has been rescued.

Sgt.Nathan Thompson says Edward Trompke ofLake Oswego suffered a cramp while taking a break during his climb Wednesday and decided to turn around. While descending, he fell and slid about 200 feet, injuring his shoulder and hitting his head. The man was climbing with his son and they called 911 since his injuries left him unable to continue down the mountain.

The sherifFs office search and rescue team responded and called for additional help.

Search and Rescue coordinator Chris Galiszewski replaces the team's current snowbulance into their trailer, which also is equipped with two ATVs and other equipment.

RESCUE Continued from Page1A With two snowbulances in their arsenal, search and rescue volunteers will be able to move more than one injured person out ofharm's way, and more efficiently. ''What triggered wanting another one is we're getting more than one person at ian accident) scene," Baker County Sheriff Mitch Southwick said.

Last February's avalanche in the Wallowa Mountains near Cornucopia claimed the lives of two skiers and severely injured two others.

Afterbeing moved by search and rescue to a place that the snowmobiles and snowcats could take over their transport, only one of the injured skiers could be transportedin comfort via snowbulance.

"One person rode out in our trailer isnowbulancelthey were pretty comfortable," Southwick said."The other person rode out on a rescue sled — it's just like a big plastic toboggan. He was coveredwith about a footof snow."

Southwick said another snowbulance would have really helped in that rescue mission.

He said the extra vehicle is needed because more and

more people are making their way into the back country every year for ski trips. ''What I've been told by ski experts is the equipment is so much better and lighter that it gives access to people — where people beforehad tobe pretty extreme skiers," Southwick sald.

He also said snowmobiles performbetterthan ever and they contribute to more people ending up in areas that they probably would not have explored in the past. sWe see a need ifor snowbulancesl. We would like to get a third one," Southwick sald.

Search and Rescue Volunteer Coordinator Chris Galiszewski agrees with Southwick.

"People are recreating in groups more and more and we're seeing multiple victims," Galiszewski said.

"This gives us the advantage to be able to transport more than one person instead ofhaving to wait and make several trips back to Life Flight or an ambulance."

The total cost for the new

rescue vehicle is $8,380.

The snow ambulance was made by MicroConn Inc. of Truckee, California. The price includes shipping,

interior light, 12-volt heater, safetyrestraints,attendant seat, battery rack and an ATV conversion kit.

M ost of thecostofthe new snowbulance is being

paid for by an $8,000 grant from the Leo Adler Foundation.

"I'm very happy with the money. I appreciate the Leo Adler grant," Southwick sald.

Galiszewski said the county's search and rescue unit has agreements with and has trained with local snowmobile clubs in Sumpter,Halfway and Burnt River to coordinate winter rescues.

"If something bad happens, we're there to help in every way we can," he said. ''We're there to augment the EMS agencies to get them where they need to be and provide them with the equipment we have."

He also stressed how important it is for those who explore the backcountry to use GPS locators and other typesofpersonal location devices as well as notifying family or friends where they are going to be and when they expect to return.

"They need to have some way to communicate their location. Have something that will keep you safe. If we don't know you are out there, we can't come and help you," Galiszewski said.

RADON FAQ • WHAT IT IS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

It is formed by the natural breakdown of uranium in rock, soil and water.

• HOW IT ENTERS HOMES: Radon gas moves up through the soil and can be drawn into homes by slight pressure differences. Once inside, radon can become trapped and build up to unsafe levels.

• HEALTH RISKS: The U.S. Surgeon General warns that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking and the number one cause of lung cancer in non-srnOker. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that radon causes around 20,000 deaths from lung cancer annually in the United States.

• DEALING WITH IT: Fortunately, radon levels in homes, schools and buildings can be measured with a simple test. Testing for radon is easy, inexpensive and effective. If high radon levels are found, they can be reduced by using proven mitigation techniques.

PowderValley Elementary School teachers Molly Smith, left, and Skye Flanagan have waged a friendly rivalry this week as they await Monday's national championship college football game between the Oregon Ducks, Smith's favorite team, and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Flanagan was born in Ohio.

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

The halls and classrooms at North Powder Charter School are abuzz with support for the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes.

Oregon and Ohio State will meet Monday evening for the National Collegiate Football Championship.

The support shown at North Powder centers around Molly Smith's thirdgrade classroom and Skye Flanagan's fourth-gradeclassroom.

Smith, whose father, Chuck Peterson, graduated from Oregon, is a staunch Duck backer. She said she and her husband Tim, a Baker High School teacher and coach, have followed Oregon ever since they were married.

Flanagan, whose father is from Columbus, Ohio, was born in Ohio.

During lunchtime Thursday, Flanagan was called to his classroom. Upon arriving there, with several other Powder Valley teachers in tow, he found a live duck in the room.

The rivalry has been going on all week beginningMonday morning when Oregon and Ohio State banners were taken from Smith and Flanagan's rooms and hung over the main entrance to the Powder Valley elementary building.

"I told the kids we're from Oregon so they have to cheer for Oregon," Smith

Skye Flanagan, right, returned to his classroom to find a live mallard duck, and Duck fan, and fellow teacher, Molly Smith lurking suspiciously.

No waterfowl were consumed or otherwise harmed.

Smith said both teachers'rooms have a"focus wall" where photos and other items are displayed.

She said Flanagan's focus wall somehow ended up with a photo of Heisman Trophy-winningOregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, a note that the Ducks had defeated their Rose Bowl opponent srnd. by 39 points while Ohio State had won "Besides, everybody knows what a the Sugar Bowl by just seven points, and Duck is. Not everybody knows what a the fact that Oregon has used just one 'spiky nut' iBuckeyel is." quarterback this season while the BuckThe floor tiles in front of each teacher's eyes are on their third signal-caller.

"I'm also about honesty and integrity.

My room has been defaced with all this yellow and green. I haven't done anything like that with the Ohio State colors. I've taken my lumps," he said, laughing as Smith walked into the room.

"It's been a lot of fun, especially getting the kids involved," Flanagan said.

"I do get an occasional 0, H to which I holler back I, 0."

Flanagan said he tried to make sure anything he posted during the week had a factual background — for instance the fact that Ohio State has defeated Oregon eight straight times in the school's history.

"It's been nice to have had a week of 8-0," he said."Come Tuesday 111prob-

ably be 8-1."

Smith said two rumors circulating around the school are that Flanagan's computer will start up Monday morning withtheOregon home page,and the Oregon fight song will play when he logs in.

Smith said she also has heard that the schoolcafeteria isserving Oregon cookies at lunch Monday. She is encouraging her students to wear green and yellow that day.

"I may have to bribe a few, but I'm pretty sure that the Duck fans far surpass the 'Nut' fans here at Powder Valley Elementary."

Neither teacher was brave enough to predict a score.

"I say we will win by more than seven points," Smith said.

"I'm just hoping for a good game," Flanagan said.

"Either team could win by 30 points. I just can't predict the score."

U of 0, Coach Dana Altman sued The University of Oregon student who says she was raped by three UO basketball players is suing the university and head basketball coach Dana Altman for allegedly violating her federal civil rights by recruiting one of the involved players after he had previously been accused of rape elsewhere.

In the lawsuit filedThursday in U.S. District Court in Eugene, the 18-year-old woman, referred to as "Jane Doe," argues that the UO and Altman prioritized winning basketball games over her claim that she had been raped repeatedly by the now former players, Damyean Dotson, Dominic Artis and Brandon Austin.

Austin was recruited by the UO athletic department from Providence College, where he was suspended indefinitely in November 2013 and for the remainder of the season in December 2013 after the school found that he violated the school's conduct code related to an alleged sexual assault. The Rhode Island Attorney General's Office found that there was insufficient evidence for a statewide grand jury to consider charges against Austin.

The UO banned the basketball players from the university last year for at least four years after a UO investigation found them responsible for sexual rniconduct. Lane County District Attorney Alex Gardner declined to charge the players, citing lack of evidence.

The players told police that the sexual activity was consensual.

matter how much money Congress sends to the Wallowa-Whitman.

Which is why the assistance of volunteer trail-maintenance groups is so vital now, and is likely to be even more important in the future, Ermovick said.

I've done some day floats in canoes but never have done overnighters. The plan was to fly into Jackson, Mississippi, drive to Vicksburg and meet up with the guys and float to Natchez. Wow, who hasn't dreamed about floating the Mississippi River just like Huckleberry Finn and Jim? There's so much history down in the Deep South.

Due to cutting straight channels, natural or manmade, it was shortened by 300 miles but has since gained back another 150 miles.

About 99 percent of my outdoor trips are geared around hunting or fishing. I do some hiking, four-wheeling and horseback riding but even most of those are some kind of scouting ventures so this was a little out of the norm for me.

WesCom News Service

The question for Dan Ermovick is not whether a tree makes a sound if it falls in the forest when nobody's around.

It's whether the tree falls across a hiking trail.

And whetherhe can fi nd anyone tosaw through it so that hikers and horse riders can get to theirfavorite placeson the WallowaWhitman National Forest without having to go over, under or around the bark-covered impediment.

Ermovick is the recreation and wilderness planner for the 2.3-million-acre WallowaWhitman.

But for Ermovick, acreage isn't the most relevant figure.

Trail mileage is.

In particular, trails within federal wilderness areas, where maintenance crews have to useprimitive toolsbecause theWi lderness Act forbids motorized equipment — including chain saws — in those areas.

The Wallowa-Whitman, which boasts the biggest wilderness in Oregon — the 365,000acre Eagle Cap, in the Wallowa Mountains — has about 1,060 miles of wilderness trails, Ermovick said.

The vast majority of those trail miles are in either the Eagle Cap or the nearby Hells Canyon Wilderness.

But with just two summer crews, each with three or four employees, to work on those trails it's impossible for the WallowaWhitman to maintain every trail ever year, Ermovick said.

REMINDER FOR HUNTERS Big game and turkey hunters need to report their results, whether or not they were successful in 2014 hunts, before Jan. 31, 2015, to avoid a $25 penalty.

Hunters who participated in a telephone survey are also asked to report their results.

Hunters can report in the following ways: • online at www.dfw.state.or.us.

• by calling 1-866-947-6339.

Hunters will need their hunter/angler ID number. If you don't have a license, tag or other document with your number, call 1-866-947-6339 to get the number.

Hunters whose hunt area included more than one Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) will need the two-digit number of the WMU where they spent the most time.

Reporting information includes whether you were successful, and how many days you hunted (inctuding mentoring youth).

The deadline to report for hunts that end between Jan. 1 and March 31 is April 15.

OUTDOORS 8 REC

EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY'S OUTDOOR PROGRAM COORDINATOR

ac aims i in s rea in ewor a ou ou ooro ions

By Josh Benham WesCom News Service

Michael Hatch says many Eastern Oregon University students don't even know what EOU's Outdoor Program provides, orthatit exists at all.

He's hoping that will not be the case in the near future.

Hatch, of Boise, was recently hired as the new Outdoor Program coordinator at EOU. To say he's an avid outdoorsman doesn't really do it justice.

He spent eight years mountain guiding for the Sawtooth Mountain Guides, was a backcountry ski guide for Wallowa Alpine Huts and has helped manage Forest Servicerecreation programs in Idaho and Oregon, most recently at the Eagle Cap Ranger District.

Hatch taught avalanche coursestorecreationists,college students and emergency m edical servicespersonnel as a courseleader fortheAmerican Institute for Avalanche Research and Education and professional member of the American Avalanche Association.

He has a bachelor of science degree in resource conservation from the University of Montana, and is heavily involved in avalanche safety.

Hatch is a board member of the Wallowa Avalanche Center, and has volunteered as its lead forecasterand educationcoordinator.He is certified as a wilderness first responder, and belongs to the Union County Search and Rescue.

When former program coordinator Jerry Isaak left the position in June, Hatch reachedoutforthejob.

"I've done some avalanche courses, and ilsaakl was on the board of the avalanche center," Hatch said."There w ere several candidates,but luckily they gave me the job."

After securing the position, Hatch immediately had a vi-

sionfor the program'srole.

"I want to increase the accessibi lity oftheprogram on campus and in the community," he said."I also want to createpartnerships with outside organizations and agenciesto provide more resources for the community. I want to get people out in the woods and outdoors while havingphenomenal experiences."

EOU's Outdoor Program includes a rental shop that provides equipment such as snowshoes, cross-country skis, rafts, climbing hardware, and pretty much anything else to outfit a person wanting to experience something new in the outdoors.

Hatch is teaching a skiing and snowboarding class this term as an adjunct instructor of physical education and sport. eWe do a lot of instructional courses and clinics, and we do credit and non-credit coursesand tripsand clinics," he said.eWe'll have back-

TRAILS Continued from Page1C Those groups include the Blue Mountain Backcountry Riders, a group ofhorse enthusiasts based in LaGrande,and two mountain biking outfits — Baker Loves Bikes from Baker County and the Blue Mountain Singletrack Trails Club of La Grande.

"I think you're going to see the Forest Service move from doing the actual work on trails to supporting and facilitating volunteer work," Ermovick said.eWe havea lotof people who want to do something to help."

The Blue Mountain Back Country Riders, mainly operating out of the Moss Springs trailhead on the west side of the Eagle Cap, is by far the most active volunteer group, working on more than 100 miles of trail per year on average, Ermovick sald.

Dick Walker of Union, a longtime member, said the Blue Mountain Back Country Riders have been working with the Wallowa-Whitman to help with trail maintenance since 1991.

Three members have amassed more than 1,000 hours of volunteer w ork on foresttrailsovertheyears, Walker said.

The group's goal is to make sure the Eagle Cap's vast network of historic trails — some are older than a century — remain accessible to horse riders as well as hikers, he sald. eWe started partnering with the ForestServiceon a lotofprojects that they weren't able to get done due to a lack of resources,"Walker sald.

Baker Loves Bikes organized two trail-maintenance days last year at Phillips Reservoir, about 17 miles southwest of Baker City.

The rock climbing wall at Easternisalsosetto re-open.

"That was out of commission in the fall, but all new pads have been put in, and the walls have a fresh coat of paint, "Hatch said."It'sset for opening next week."

In additio n toother services like wilderness first aid and ventures with the Forest Service, Hatch hopes that in the spring the program will offer courses such as beginning flyfishing, horsemanship, kayaking and outdoor

Gettingnovicesinterested in new outdoor activities, or just allowing someone the chance to do what they love, isone ofHatch'sgoals.

"The local landscapes and outdoors are valuable resources for us here," he said.

"From a wellness standpoint, it improves the physical, mental and emotional health. It's very important foreveryone in life.It'snotso much the technical skills, but giving them the ability for self-r eliance,cooperation and leadership skills. Outdoor activities accentuates these things, and they can be used

The Blue Mountain Singletrack Trails Club has done work on trails at Owsley Canyon near La Grande, and club members also re-opened an old trail, renamed Two Dragon, near Anthony Lakes. iThose trails are outside the wilderness; bicycles are not allowed in the Eagle Cap and other federal wilderness areas.)

Ermovick said the contributions of these and other volunteer groups have become increasingly valuable during the 15 years he has worked on the Wallowa-Whitman.

When he started here the forest employedfour seasonaltrailcrews for Eagle Cap/Hells Canyon, and one crew for the Elkhorns, which have a much more modest trail system of about 100 miles, most of which is outside the wilderness where workers can save time iand energy) by using chain saws.

In the past several years, Ermovick said, the diminishing cadre of Forest Service trail workers has had to concentrate on the more popular trails — the West and East forks of the Wallowa and Lostine rivers, for instance, all on the north

in the real world."

Hatch sees a myriad of outdooropportunitiesfor peopleto getstarted atin the region, and he wants to highlight specifically the eastern side of the state more than anything. ''What we are is a resource for Eastern Oregon's higher education institution," he said."Let's focus on being that and our strengths. Part of that is putting a little more focus on our location.

It's an amazing playground.

We have phenomenal rivers and really good mountain biking trails and road biking. There's amazing hiking access, and we have great backcountry access."

The first event Hatch is puttingon is afree avalanche awareness presentation Wednesday, sponsored by the Wallowa Avalanche Center, beginning at 7 p.m., in Ackerman Hall, Room 114.

Coming up is the third annual Eastern Oregon Backcountry Festival, Feb. 20-22.Itstartswith the Winter Wildland Alliance's Backcountry Film Festival at Eastern the evening of Feb. 20, and includes races, more avalanche safety clinics and live music at Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort.

Trailside shrubs need to be prunedregularly,aswell,and rocks, never in short supply in the mountains, have a tendency to land on the trails too.

Although Ermovick said he has no reason to expect trail-maintenance budgets will reverse their downward trend, the WallowaWhitman will continue to request money for specific projects.

Last year, for instance, the forest replaced a bridge across Rock Creek near the Minam River trail, an Eagle Cap thoroughfare.

Another bridge in that area, over the Little Minam River, is slated to be replaced, possiblethisyear.

budgets for trail work are ill-timed becausethe combination ofdiseased and insect-ridden forests, and more frequent wildfires, has resulted in an increasing number of fallen trees.

"It's Murphy's Law — any tree that can reach the trail, will," Walker said with a chuckle.

"It's getting to be a monumental taskjusttogetthe logscleared from a trail, and then you don't have time togetin there to dothetread repair and the waterbars."

As an example, Walker said a groupofBlue Mountain Back Country Riders a few years ago neededthree days toclear about 20 trees that had fallen in the span of lessthan 100 yards oftrail,creating ajackstrawed mess oflimbs and trunks thatpresented aconsiderable challenge for workers who had to use crosscut saws.

Walker said he understands why motorized vehicles are banned in wilderness areas. But he wishes the Forest Service had the flexibility to allow trail crews to use chain saws, if only to cut through the worst tangles of fallen trees and brush.

With chain saws the volunteers could have gotten through the aforementioned mess in less than a day, Walker figures.

Elaine La Rochelle of Elgin is also a longtime member of the Blue Mountain Back Country Riders.

She said she joined the group soon after moving to Union County 16 years ago because riding horses in the wilderness — and ensuring that other people can enjoy the area as she does — is a"passion." eWe have this jewel of the Eagle Caps sitting here, and it's a shame thatwe're starting to lose some of these trails," La Rochelle said.

She said she has noticed over her 16 years traveling through the wilderness that even heavily used

trails, such as those that start at Two Pan trailhead and follow the East and West forks of the Lostine River, are more diKcult to negotiate.

'There are boulders the sizeof Volkswagens," La Rochelle said."It keeps getting worse every year."

Like Walker, La Rochelle said she'sespecially frustrated that the Forest Service will not grant volunteers a temporary exemption to the ban on chain saws in wilderness areas. eWe could be so much more effective if you'll let us use appropriate tools," La Rochelle said.

If volunteers could use chain saws toclearlogs,she said,they would be able to get through many m ore miles oftrailseach year.

Moreover, volunteers would also havetime torepairwaterbars and do other work without which trails will eventually become impassable.

'That's my frustration,u La Rochelle said."I want to be able to go to my forest, safely."

Walker agrees with Ermovick that without volunteers — or an unexpected glut of money from Congress — the challenge of keeping wilderness trails usable will grow.

'There's just too damn much trail and notenough money going out," Walker said.

He also worries that the current, aging group of volunteers won't be replaced.

"It's a dying breed,"Walker said. eWe need a younger generation coming in."

The work is not without its rewards, though.

Trail volunteers get to spend time in what many people consider the most beautiful part of Oregon. eWe work hard, but then we sit around the campfire and tell stories,"Walker said."It's a lot of fun."

Being the bearer ofbad news is not easy for adult children or physicians becauseforseniors,driving means self-management, pleasure and entertainment.

For example, driving familiar country roads on a leisurely Sunday afternoon is entertainment for many seniors.

Others just want to run short errands or go to a restaurant.

To relinquish that would mean relying on others to do the driving.

"It's really upsetting for peopleto have theirdriving privileges taken away," Schoenfelder said.

Ideally, it's better if seniors recognize that time on their own and take action without family or physician intervention. Such was the case with Rosabell Vermillion, 94, of La

But she is very scared ofher sight fadingany further.

"I would hate to lose that vision," she said."Losing it would just be so different, I don't know how I would take it."

Marie fears that one day she will no longer be able to see them, and that she could forget what her mother, father and younger sister and brothers look like.

'Tm grateful for myvision," she said.

Lori St. Arnaud remembers sensing that something wasn't right as she nursed her newborn son, Patrick, and his big blue eyes never looked back at her.

He was diagnosed with LCA as a baby. Blind from birth, his earliest months were a whirlwind of physical, occupational and visual therapies. Lori and her husband, Lee St. Arnaud, were so overwhelmed at first they thought there was no way they could have another child, in part because there's a 25 percent chance the inherited disorder would be present in the next baby.

"But then we thought, you know what, if our next child makes us

Mirielle, now 7, has some central vision but nothing on the periphery.

She describes it as looking through a tube the size of a pencil. Patrick, 9, only has light perception, though his parents say this sense has darkened in his right eye over the years.

Patrick helps Mirielle with Braille. Mirielle sometimes narrates events she can see but he can't.

"Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be completely blind," she said.

Mirielle has asked her brother what it's like to have no vision.

"I can't describe it," he said, laughing a little.

pancreas.

The next month, Gray had to stop the ponatinib. Without access to either drug, she was again scrambling.

Bristol-Myers Squibb, which provides cancer patients with a temporary insurance card for a 30-day supply of yet another cancer drug, seemed to offer hope. But the card wasn't accepted at the Kaiser pharmacy where Gray had to get her prescriptions.

American Cancer Society advocate Brandon Costantino, who works with patients at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, persuadeda company salesrepresentative to give Gray a month's supply anyway.

Then Gray had to contend with yet another obstacle: Patients could typically only get one month of the drug from the manufacturer.

She needed a second to keep up treatment through December.

"It was like brick wall after brick wall that we had to chisel through," said Costantino, who went back to Bristol-Myers Squibb to get the additional chemotherapy."My mantra for Lisa was: We just need to get you to 2014,"' he said.

Even the promise of a new insurance plan under the Affordable Care Act seemed elusive at first. Gray, like others, battled through the problemsthathobbled HealthCare.gov after itopened."Imust have called 85times or more," she said.

Finally, on Dec. 2, 2013, she selected a new Kaiser Permanente health plan for $780 a month. That was $315 less than her current plan. Most important, the plan covered Gleevec for a $30-a-month co-pay.

Gray brokedown inthepharmacy when she picked up her first prescription last January — she admits she's 'kind of a crier."

Nine months later, a bone marrow biopsy showed no further sign ofleukemia.

Today, Gray is healthy, aside from the occasional sinus infection.

Sitting on her living room couch with her dog, Gray says she is somewhat bewildered by the controversy that continues to shadow the health law.

"I don't understand why people get so mad. ... It's just health insurance," she said, describing conversations with friends and neighbors who say the law should be repealed."I tell them, You have to understand, there are people who need this. I mean really, really need this."'

•

Looking back on the past four years, Vermillion said that she made the right decision at the right time. She had a good driving record, and she didn't wait for a traffic accident to signal the end of her driving privileges. She made her own decision at her own time and exited off the road on her own terms.

"It wasn't that hard when I made up my mind," she said.

'You just have to do what you have to do."

The overall hospitalization rate since the start of the flu season rose to 12.6 per 100,000 Americans, up from 9.7 per 100,000 Americans a week earlier.

Senior citizens continued to have the highest hospitalization rate i51.8 per

WHEN IS THE BESTTIME FORSEMORS TO CONSIDER

By Tiish Yerges

e+7gi1r(lP

For WesCom News Servrvce

Knowing when it's time to stop driving is an emotional decision for most seniors because it signifies a surrendering of pleasure, C entertainment and freedom. At a time when seniorsareexperiencing a barrage ofother losses in their lives, driving is among one of the lastprivilegesthey want tolose.

Often, adult children are the first ones to realize their parents are having difficulty operating a vehicle safely. They may decide then that Mom or Dad should see their primary care provider for a checkup, hoping that the provider will be the messenger ofbad news and tell their parent it's time to stop driving.

"It's really difficult for children to take that freedom of driving away from their parents," said Dr. Ellen Schoenfelder, family physician at the La Grande Family Practice."As a physician, I can't observe a patient's driving skills, so it's harder for me to judge and justify taking that privilege away."

Still, a physician may observe physical changes in vision, hearing, reaction time and range of motion that may raise legitimate questions about the patient's ability to drive. ''When a patient reaches the age where they lack the attention to drive or they start developing deficiencies in vision, hearing and are showing signs of confusion, that's perhaps time to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and be retested," Schoenfelder said.

Each case must be judged on its own merits because there are many drivers with disabilities who can still drive safely into their 80s and 90s.

"A person may have some disabling physical conditions, yet do well driving in small towns where there is less traffic," Schoenfelder said."However, that same person may not drive safely in an unfamiliar area where the traffic is heavier. Their deficiencies may be more noticeable in these circumstances.

In this case, a person may need to self-limit Trishverges/ForTheObserver their driving to shorter destinations like the All too often seniors reluctantly hand over the vehicle keys to an adult SeeDriving / Pbge 5C child who has suggested they stop driving for safety reasons.

FLU SEASON

43 states hit with 'widespread' Au

By Karen Kaplan Los Angeles Times

Influenza viruses have infiltrated most parts of the United States, with 43 states experiencing"widespread" flu activit y and six othersreporting"regional" flu activity, accordingtothe Centersfor Disease Control and Prevention.

Hawaii was the only state where flu cases were merely "sporadic" during the week that ended Dec. 27, the CDC said in its latest FluView report.

One week earlier, California also had been in the"sporadic" category, and Alaska and Oregonreported "local" flu outbreaks. Now all three states have been upgraded to "regional" flu activity, along with Arizona, Maine and Nevada.

The rest ofthestatesare dealingwith"widespread" outbreaks, according to the

CDC. At least 601 people in the U.S. died of influenza or

pneumoniaduring the52nd week of the year, down from 837 the previous week, accordingtodata collected by the CDC's 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System.

The 601 deaths accounted for6.8 percent ofthe 8,893 total deaths in the last full week of the year, just missing the 6.9 percent threshold to qualify as an epidemic.

H3N2 flu viruses continued todominate as 2014 came to a close, accounting for99.6percent ofthe 1,641 influenza A viruses that were subtyped during week 52. When H3N2 strains are more common than H1N1 strains, the flu usually causes m ore severe illnessesand deaths, warned Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC. About two-thirds of the 268 H3N2 viruses analyzed by the CDC since Oct. 1 are similar to the A/Switzerland/9715293strain thatwas first detected in the U.S. in March, the FluView report SeeFlu / Page 5C

WALLOWA COUNTY

Fonndationraises moneyforrohst, newhsrnincnhatsr

By Katy Nesbitt WesCom News Service

ENTERPRISE — Wallowa Memorial Hospital has some new equipment that will help some of its most fragile patients.

Stacey Green of the Wallowa Valley Health Care Foundation said the Circle 100 Club, an all-woman off-shoot of the Foundation,

raised $15,000 to buy a new incubator for newborns and infants.

Chief Nursing Officer Jenni Word said the incubator has special lights for babies born with jaundice, a controlled temperature environment and a"whisper quiet" mode.

The incubator can go into an ambulance or helicopter if a baby needs to be transportedto another hospital but will mainly be used at Wallowa Memorial. Word said one is needed about six to eight times a year.

A baby can get X-rays in the incubator, the bed can be rotated 360 degrees and can be ti lted and elevated and has multiple ports for medicalprofessionals to accessthe

baby.

Babies born a little early need decreasedstimulation, Word said, so the "whisper quiet" mode provides a quiet, soothing environment protecting young ears from alarms and the sounds of

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Like many working Americans, Lisa Gray thought she had good health insurance.

That was until she was diagnosed with leukemia in mid-2013, and the selfemployed businesswoman made astartlingdiscovery: Her health plan didn't cover the chemotherapy she needed."I thought I was going to die," Gray, 62, said recently, recalling her desperatescramble to get lifesaving drugs.

Through amix oftemporary measures, doctors and patient advocates managed to keep Gray stable for a few months.

But it was a new health plan through the Affordable Care Act that Gray credits with saving her life. The plan, which started Jan. 1, 2014, gave her access to the recommended chemotherapy. Her cancer went into remission in the fall.

Meredith Lair named NEOAHEC director

Hospital Auxiliary hosts meeting 3an. 19

Northeast Oregon Area Health Education Center announces Meredith Lair as its new executive director. Lair had served as interim director since August.

As executive director, Lair will oversee an organization that connects 11 counties with health career education programs, rural residencies and continuing education.

"It's an honor to assume the role of executive director and carry the good work of NEOAHECforward," said Lair. "This organization is needed more than ever as the demand for practitioners in rural communities does not meet the supply.

Oregon AHEC is developing strategies to ensure it is on the forefront of efforts to strengthen rural healthcare, and I am excited by the important work ahead."

Lair's previously served as the Interim Assistant Director of the Union County Commission on Children and Families. She also worked for Grande Ronde Hospital for twelve years and was their Foundation Manager for six years.

The Grande Ronde Hospital Auxiliary's general meeting will be held at 9:30 am Jan. 19 at the Island City City Hall.

The Grande Ronde HospitalAuxiliarywas established in April 1965. Duties include helping with surgical, admitting and running the gift shop. Over the years, the Auxiliary has funded many important projects including portable defibrillators, an X-ray machine and exercise equipment for the Rehabilitation Department.

Word said the hospital has always had an incubator, but the previous one was getting neartheend ofitslife.

In November, the Foundation hosted its annual "Healthy Futures" fundraising dinner. This year's proceeds are purchasing a telemedicine robot, a real boon to rural medicine.

The hospital has a robot with a screen for interactive patient/doctor visits from Portland's Providence Stroke Center, the state's stroke center that through telemedicine is reaching out to alotofruralhospitals,but the new robot can be used for consultations with an array of specialists.

"By purchasing our own robot, any physician or clinic with an Internet connection can consult with specialists," Word said.

Itcan be used toeducate the hospital staf, for lab work, radiology, the lab, nurses and dieticians.

"No department is left out," Word said.

The RP7i, as it is officially called, can help a remote specialist listen to lung and heart sounds and see vital signs, Word said. It has atelephone for private conversations and a camera that can take clear, close-up SeeRobot / Page 5C
