Beginning March 1, about 500 adult female mule deer between Prineville and Ontario will be collared so wildlife managers can better understand their ranges and movements.

The capture area includes parts of Baker and Union counties south and west of Interstate 84.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald March 9, 1965 The city council last night accepted the first and second readings of an ordinance that would prohibit the parking of dismantled automobiles on public and private property within the city limits.

The new ordinance, designed to eliminate the hazard caused by dismantled auto bodies and the unsightly appearance, will be presented for adoption at the council's next session.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald March 8, 1990 Making a conference center out of the Community Center and seeing what people think about the proposed center was discussed Wednesday by the BakerCounty Court.

Architect Allan Mitchell spoke to court members and others about the project. He was hired with some state technical assistance grant monies to develop the project.

Mitchell, who discussed the proposal for the Baker County Regional Strategies Committee, said the main problems at this point are aesthetic ones, such as the building's corrugated metal siding and the need for a new attic ventilation system.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald March 9, 2005 You don't need a rain gauge to prove there's a drought on.

Actually it's been a while since you really needed a rain gauge for anything, although you could fill it from the faucet and maybe entice the birds to drink.

To demonstrate the drought, though, you need only to drive an unpaved road, glance at your rear-view mirror and watch the dust erupt.

Mud, that slippery symbol of spring, already has hardened into plain old dry dirt in many places.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald March 10, 2014 A report released Friday details the Feb. 11 avalanche that killed two backcountry skiers in the southern Wallowa Mountains near Halfway.

The report was published by Max Forgensi of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

The report is posted on the Wallowa Avalanche Center's website, www.wallowaavalanchecenter.org, and a link to the report is on the Baker City Herald's Facebook page.

Jake Merrill, 23, of Bellingham, Wash., and Shane Coulter, 30, of Seattle, died in the avalanche on the southwest face of Cornucopia Peak about 10 miles northwest of Halfway.

Baker City Police have arrestedtwo more suspects in a methamphetamine sales investigation that yielded a pound anda halfofthedrug and more than $3,500 in cash during two searches of a home last month.

Valerie Jean Taylor, 48, and Ashley Denice Cleland, 32,both lived at3025 D St., Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner said this morning.

That's where police on Feb. 10 arrested Jose Daniel Padil-

la-Albrido, 38,on charges of possessing and selling meth.

Taylor and Cleland are both charged with possession and delivery of meth, and tampering with evidence.

Taylor was arrested Saturday morning, and Cleland on Sunday morning. Both were taken to the Baker County Jail.

Lohner said the meth-selling operationthat policebelieve was based at the home on D Street might have been

the largest in Baker City.

During an initial search of the home on Feb. 10, police foundhalfa pound ofm eth, with an estimated street

value of $8,000.

Police later learned that more meth, and cash, might be hidden inside the home.

A second search of the home, on Feb. 18, yielded one

pound of meth and $3,500 in cash.

The tampering with evidence charges against Taylor

and Cleland are connected with the drugs and cash being hidden in the home, Lohner said.

Although Lohner said he doesn't expectmore arrestsin connection with the D Street home, he said the investigation into local meth dealing continues and has turned up otherpotentialsuspects. ''We will continue to investigate these leads," Lohner sald.

Statestudving muledeermigrations From the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife

Data fiom 500 GPS radio collars will soon replace an older population model and conventional wisdom about mule deer in the southern Blue Mountains.

Beginning March 1, about 500 adult female mule deer between Prineville and Ontario will be collared so w ildlif emanagers can better understand their ranges and movements.

The capture area includes parts of Baker and Union counties south and west of Interstate 84.

Leading Edge Aviation, a company based in Clarkston, Washington, will be handling the deer capture. The capture operationcould take 10 days or more depending on weather conditions. Capture activities will take place on public land and on some private land where ODFW has permission of the landowner.

The mule deer captures will be done by helicopter.

First, the deer will be located by helicopter crew and then captured using a speciallydesigned net gun. Once netted, deerare blindfolded and restrained to calm them.

Each deer captured will be fitted with a GPS radio collar and then released on site.

The capture process typically takes just 5 or 10 minutes for each deer. This limits handlingtime and reduces stress

Witty, who grew up near Adrian, said he has reviewed the Baker School District's financial audit and budget, as well as talked with current superintendent Walt Wegener, who is retiring June 30, and chief financial officer Doug Dalton.

Witty said it appears to him that the district's financial status is stable.

'That'salways a positiveplace to be,"Witty said.

He said the transition in Oregon to Common Core standards has not been especially controversial in the Grant School District.

But Witty said the state's adoption of new standardized tests this year is troubling. ''We're used to standards, but I'd like to see us stay with the same standards for a while," he said."Stability in that world would be helpful."

County receives food, shelter aid The Baker County area has been awarded $8,255 from the federal Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program. The money supplements emergency food and shelter programs in the county. Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Mary Jo Carpenter, Community Connection of Baker County, 2810 Cedar Street, Baker City, OR 97814. The application must be received by March 16 at 5 p.m. For more information call Community Connection at 523-6591.

A local board made up of representatives fiom The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Baker City Police Department, American Red Cross, Ministerial Association, and Community Connection will determine how the funds awarded to the Baker County area are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area.

Under the terms of the grant, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1l be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2l have an accounting system, 3l practice nondiscrimination, 4l have demonstrated the capabilit y todeliver emergency food and/orshelterprograms, and 5l if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board.

Previously, these funds have been distributed to the Catholic Church Food Bank, Salvation Army Food Bank, Haines/North Powder Food Bank, Halfway Food Bank, Huntington Food Bank, MayDay, Inc., and Community Connection of Baker County. They provided nearly 2,000 meals, and six months oflodging for families in crisis.

many Republicans and put lawmakers like Bentz into a corner in terms of political philosophy and accessible goals. Bentz, who is a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Economic Development, said Democrats, if they truly want to see atransportation packagecome to fruition,are going to have to revisit Senate Bill 324.

"They iDemocratsl have to come in and say, 'this is how we will repair the low carbon fuel standard.' Then I'd be willing to talk. So the real question is: What is it they'd be willing to change to make itpalatablefor Oregon?"

Bentz asked.

Bentz said while he is unsure what new Gov. Kate Brown will do about the legislation but in his mind she really has only once choice.

"The best thing would be forthe governor tovetothis," he said.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

No one disputes Oregon schools have an attendance problem. In fact, Oregon schools have some of the highest absenteeism rates in the nation.

There's less agreement about how to solve the problem.

Rep. Betty Komp, D-Woodburn, thinks she has a way. She's introduced House Bill 2657, which would tie state school dollars to school district attendance rates. School districts with high absenteeism rates would see their state dollars dwindle over time.

Not surprisingly, Komp already has had considerable pushback about the bill, some of it coming from fellow Democrats on the House Education Committee. School districts, the Oregon Education Association and the Oregon School Boards Association also have made clear their dislike for the measure.

Some of the problems districts face are beyond their control. In some communities and cultures, school attendance takes a backseat to family obligations. That's not good from a student-learning standpoint, but school oKcials face nearly insurmountable hurdles when trying to overcome a deeply held belief that family comes first.

Poverty is also a big contributor to poor attendance, according to the National Center for Children in Poverty. Families that lack stable housing, good health care, adequate diet, reliable transportation and the like have more trouble getting kids to school on time every day.

Also, children with chronic health problems, living in poverty or not, are more likely to miss school than kids in robust health.

That's not to suggest that all attendance problems are beyond school districts' control. As administrators in the La Pine schools of Bend-La Pine Schools have demonstrated, a concentrated effort on improving attendance pays oK In La Pine, teachers, administrators and volunteers have worked together to honor students with good attendance and work with those who are chronically absent to improve the situation. It's a labor-intensive solution, but it is bearing measurable results.

Cutting dollars won't improve the situation, neither in Bend nor elsewhere in Oregon. Rather, it could make changing the figures more, not less, difficult to achieve. That's hardly productive.

Komp's bill should die before it leaves the education committee.

a n netneutrai , a It was Throwback Thursday at the FCC on Feb. 26, as the Federal Communications Commission voted to impose 1930s-era regulations on Internet providers.

Under the agency's new rules, Internetserviceproviderssuch as Verizonand Comcast aretobe treated as "common carriers" under the 1934 Communications Act, subjecting them to detai led oversight ofwhat they offer to consumers — and how they offer it.

The decision was a bit of a trip down regulatory memory lane for the FCC, harking back to the days when telephones looked like black candlesticks and all important decisions were made by regulators. Emphasizing the "retro" nature of the day, Verizon's official responseto the decision was issued entirely in Morse code, the language of the telegraph.

What was the FCC thinking when it imposed these antiquated rules on the 21st century Internet? For it, common-carrier rules were a means to an end: network neutrality, the idea that Internetserviceprovidersshould treat everybitofcontent travelling over their networks exactly the same way. Never mind that cat videos and 911 calls ought to be treated differently, or that premiums and value discounts are a key part of every well-functioning marketplace.

The FCC has pursued the goal of forced neutrality relentlessly for over a decade. Twice during this time, the agency tried to impose net neutralityin 2005 and again in 2010 — and twice it was rebuffed by the courts, which found the FCC lacked authority to act.

Hoping that the third time is the charm,the FCC, led by Chairman Tom

JAMES L. GATTUSO W heeler, proposed yetanother setof rules last May. Initially, Wheeler intendedtomore orlessre-adopt the2010 rules, with minor changes intended to address the problems identified in court.

However, President Barack Obama upped the ante in November intervening with the normally independent FCC, urging it to turn Internet access providers into public utilities subject to comprehensive regulation. After a brief and cursory defense ofhis agency's autonomy, Wheeler changed his plan to match the president's. The revised proposal was adopted by the fullcom mission on a strict party-line vote.

Devised for the static monopolies, public-utility regulation will be corrosive to today's dynamic Internet. There's a reason the phrase "innovative public utility" doesn't flows easily from the tongue. The hundreds of rules that come with public utility status are geared to keeping monopolies in line, not encouraging new or innovative ways of doing things. lThe FCC has indicated it will refrain from enforcing the bulk of these rules, butifyou believe that,Ihave a water-front property in Wyoming to sell

you.)

Even worse, by imposing burdens on big and small carriers alike, the new rules may actually stifle chances of increasing competition among broadband providers.

With the FCC's vote, the battle over how land whether) the Internet will be regulated by Washington moves to

ain

two new but familiar venues. The first is Congress, where members will want to — andarguablyhave aduty tohave a say. Congressional leaders have alreadybegun a broad efforttoupdate the Communications Act, and the FCC's neutrality decision will no doubt become a prime targetofthatreform.

Congress's short-term options, however, are limited, given the likelihood of a White House veto of any bill that overturns the FCC's ruling. There are approaches worth exploring, however, such as attaching a rider to the FCC appropriations bill prohibiting the FCC from spending taxpayer dollars to enforce the new rules. Short of that, lookfor Congress toexpressitsviews through nonbinding resolutions of disapprovaland oversight hearings.

The second venue is the courts, where opponents of regulation may have their best chance of success. The courts normally defer to the expertise of independent agencies, but after two prior decisions, this will be put more to the test. To pass muster, the FCC needs to convincejudges thatitacted for more reasons than being told to do so by President Obama. Regulation of wirelessservicefaceseven bigger hurdles, including a statutory provision limiting the FCC's power to regulate wireless phone dataservicesascommon carriers.

Throwback Thursday was clearly not the end of this long-running debate.

BOISE — Oregon, Idaho and Washington residents are among the top polluters in the nation when it comes to fine particle emissions from burning wood to heat homes.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lists Oregon, Idaho and Washington as seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively, in per-capita emissions.

The three states share chilly climates, a tradition of wood burning, and lots of national forest land with easy access and where U.S. Forest Service managers appreciate the removal of some trees to reduce the fire risk.

Burning wood is popular in Oregon, where that state's Department of Environmental Quality found that a third of the residents in the densely populated Portland region burn wood.

Marcia Danab, an agency spokeswoman, said southeast Portlandaswellassome other areas ofthestatethat experience inversions have problems with wood smoke.

Then, one day I realized that batteries came in many shapes and sizes as well and that you had to have the exact one to fit in whichever timing-devise that you needed.

This meant that you had to have a whole drawer full ofbatteries in each size and shape (for they weren't interchangeable) rather than the electric w irethatattached to thepoleoutside.

The joys of a newborn:

With claws I'm pretty new to raising a newborn.

But seriously, on a resume I actually can claim six years ofhuman child-rearing experience and counting!

But cat ownership? That's a new deal altogether. Or is it?

Over the past six years we've been through a few phases with our children. There was the phase where we just wanted to hold them, where everything about them and everything they did was cute, new, precious.

LANDSCAPING TIPS

SLOW COOK

am winercou e a in armu ric son our rees

By Penny Nakamura ForyyesCom News Service

Hang on to your hatsMother Nature is playing some tricks us on us this winter. Despite Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow, indicating a prolonged winter, it's been practically balmy in Central and Eastern Oregon.

And that's tricked your plants and trees into thinking it's time to grow, as they reach for the sun and hope for some much needed water. ''We are seeing a lotof winter desiccation or winter injury to the evergreens and conifers in Central Oregon.

This is where there's a loss of water through leaf transpiration. Winter sun and winds dry the needles," said Amy Jo Detweiler, associate professoratOregon State University Extension Service in Redmond."The trees come out of their dormancy and need water, but they can't access water because the ground is still frozen."

If you're looking out into your yard right now, Detweiler said, you're probably noticing your conifer needles and broadleaf evergreens, such as manzanita, are looking quite brown or reddish in color. You may even think they're dead. But Detweiler

"The trees come out fo their dormancy and need water, but they can't access water because the ground

is still jozen."

— Amy Jo Detweiler, Oregon State University Extension Service associated professor

cautions not to take out the treesjust yet,because odds are good they may come

back.

"This conifer is promising, because the tips are still green," explains Detweiler, examining a young pine tree at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. 'What people need to do islook forthe terminal bud, and pop it back, if it's still green in there, and there's some resin, it's still viable."

Detweiler said she's been fielding dozens of calls lately from gardeners who are distressedabout their"dying trees." This winter's unusual temperatures, especially this last period of mild temperatures, is what causes the most injury to plants, she sald.

"The winter injury is not generally caused by a cold, snowy winter, but by extreme weather and temperature fluctuations, like this

longperiod of50-to 60-degree weather. The trees are transpiring and need water, but can't get it," Detweiler said. "If you can hand water your trees or plants during the warmer winter weather, this will help."

Detweiler says the nonnativeconifers are more vulnerable to winter desiccation, but as she says this, she looks toward a grove of native Western Juniper trees that also show yellowing and browning, and says this native species is also experiencing injury this winter.

The extended autumn we experienced meant most trees were already drought stressedbefore winter really hit.

"The other problem we have in the High Desert is our soil is very sandy, so the soil doesn't hold the water very well," Detweiler said.

"The strong winds we had, combined with the long fall, reallydriesoutand stresses the trees. There's just not enough moisture when we have these 60-degree days in the winter."

The mild weather can cause some trees to resume growth, making them more vulnerable to injury from another probable snowstorm

this spring. Detweiler says to helpprotectyour trees you can wrap them loosely in burlap.

Othertreedamage you may see on your maple trees, aspens or white pine in this mild winter is called sunscald.

"This happens to trees on the south side of the trunk," Detweiler said.'You've probably seen the bark darken and become rough, eventually it cracks and falls away."

Central Oregon is not alone in seeing this winter desiccation; Detweiler said the entire West Coast is having this problem, as the trees are being stressed.

"It really has been the perfectstorm forthesetrees.W e had the long fall, prolonged winds and now this warm winter weather," Detweiler said with a sigh, as she mentioned what this could portend for the fire season this summer. "It's looking pretty grim throughout the Western United States."

Still, Detweiler cautions, ifyou have any doubt about your tree, wait it out.

"It won't look good, and the needles may be falling out for a while, but by spring you should start seeing some green again."

You can remove the caulk, clean with detergent ithe academy suggested vinegar but no proportions, and I have never used it or a bleach-water mixturel, and then use a mold-resistant replacement caulk.

If the mold is under the tile, then you would have to have it removed, which would be an expensive and messy prospect.

Mold and mildew in the grout lines and the caulking can be handled relatively easily. I would start there.

by its own key, so you would have to keep track of which key went to which clock. I faithfully added this one's winding whenever company was expected so they could be surprised to see such a little clock keeping time. And, then, the clock with the spring sprung when I overwound it, so now neither clock runs to keep my time.

Also, I had a batteryoperatedhandsome miniature grandfather clock in the dollhouse for the same reason, but suddenly the new battery gave outafterjusttwo months use, not a good thing.

built-in aiarm clock by which we awakeninthe morning naturally when we are rested and go to bed when we tire at nightfall. I use this quite regularly without a set alarm clock and it works quite well because I am mostly not under someone else's time schedule; however, most folks aren't so happily endowed so they must be prepared with all the modern conveniences to awaken them whether electric, battery or wound spring.

Oh, yes, there is one more — the atomic clock that keeps its own time and changes itself automatically as needs be.Sorry,it'sbattery-operated, too.

There is the law that makes us turn our clocks ahead or back twice a year, a real nuisance. That choice can go the way of the sun-dial as I see it.

Well, I do remember the crowing rooster.

Ah, nostalgia at its best.

Another thing I have noticed is that nothing really lasts that long. Tantrums tend to go away, potty trainingresolves,feeding becomes anindependentact. Really, everything has given way to something new. Pretty soon the next phase comes along with its new challenges.

My guess is that this cycle will continue in my life ad nauseum. It will in yours too by the way, so get used to it! Just remember during a diKcult cycle, whether it's raising a kid or a cat, this too

Continued ~om Page 1B Place half of butter in bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Layer peppers, remaining butter, onion and chicken over it. Sprinkle taco or fajita seasoning mix over chicken, cover and cook on low 4 hours or until chicken is cooked through.

Shred chicken with a fork and stir with the peppers and onion. Serve in warmed tortillas with sour cream, salsa and lettuce.

Note: To make one serving ofhomemade seasoning mix, combine 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 "/2 teaspoons ground cumin,1 teaspoon sea salt,1 teaspoon ground black pepper, /2 teaspoon garlic powder, "/2 teaspoon dried oregano, "/2 teaspoon paprika, "/4 teaspoon onion powder and "/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.

SLOW COOKERCAULIFLOWER MAC AND CHEESE This recipe, adapted from dinnerwithjulie.com, takes the fussoutofhomemade mac and cheese and leaves you with a bubbling bowl of cheesy comfort (plus some extra vegetables in the quiet form of cauliflower).

Makes 8 servings 1 pound elbow macaroni, uncooked 1 head cauliflower, trimmed and chopped into small pieces 1"/2 pounds sharp cheddar cheese, grated 8 ouncescream cheese,cutinto chunks 5 cups milk Salt and pepper to taste Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a slow cooker.

Cover and cook on high 4 to 6 hours, removing the lid to give it a stir about once an hour.

SLOW COOKERBUFFALO CHICKEN LEGS OR WINGS These chicken legs have the best of both worlds: tenderness and simplicity from the slow cooker and crispy skin from the oven. The recipe is from theslowroasteditalian.com.

Makes 4 to 6 servings 1 cup Buffalo sauce 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced 6 tablespoons honey 4 pounds chicken legs or wings To a 5-quart slow cooker, add Buffalo sauce, butter and honey. Stir to combine. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cook on low3to4hours or high1 to2 hours.

Remove chi cken from slow cooker and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle sauce from slow cooker over legs or wings.

Set oven to broil. Place baking sheet in oven and broil 2 to 3 minutes until sauce starts to caramelize.

For a thick sauce coating, transfer sauce to a saucepan and boil it until it cooks down, about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then brush or drizzle sauce over the meat.

SLOW COOKER VEGETARIAN LASAGNA The tough part about bringing pasta to a potluck is keeping it warm. This slow cooker lasagna recipe solves that problem. Just bring the entire slow cooker to the party and your lasagna is ready when you are.

Feel good about loading up on this lasagna filled with veggies and whole-grain noodles. The sauce provides plenty of liquid to cookthe noodles in, so no need to buy no-boil lasagna noodles or precook them.

Makes 6 servings 1 can (28 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, drained 1 can (28 ounces) tomato sauce 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste 2 teaspoons dried oregano 15 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese 1 egg 2 large garlic cloves, minced or crushed in a garlic press 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 medium yellow squash, cut into 1-inch pieces 4 ounces fresh spinach s/4 of a 13.5-ounce package of whole-grain lasagna noodles 16 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, in slices 5 ounces shredded Asiago cheese In a large bowl, combine ricotta, egg and garlic. Stir in zucchini, squash and spinach until combined. In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and oregano.

Spread 2 cups of the sauce in bottom of a 5.5- or 6-quart slowcooker.Lay 4to 5lasagna noodles overthe sauce, overlapping and breaking the noodles to cover as much area as possible. Layer half of the cheese and vegetable mixture over the noodles and press into place.

Spread 1"/2 to 2 cups of sauce over the cheese and vegetable mixture, then arrange 1/3 of the fresh mozzarella cheese and sprinkle 1/3 of the Asiago cheese over it. Repeat the layers: another 4 to 5 noodles, the remaining cheese and vegetable mixture, 1"/2 to 2 cups sauce, half the remaining mozzarella and Asiago cheese. Add a final layer of noodles, then spread the remaining sauce over it and top with the remaining mozzarella and Asiago.

Cover and cook on high 2 hours, or until noodles are cookedand cheese ismelted.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton says that if she pursues the presidency again, it will be diferent this time around.

But revelations that she sidesteppedthe government emailsystem as secretary of state suggest she may have a ways to go to make good on

Wedn e s day

The controversy is pushing Clinton's top advisers closer to formalizing plans to announce her candidacy in early spring, all but putting an end to discussions about holding off until later in the year, according to a person familiar with the operation.

While a final decision has not been made, the team is actively discussing potential rollout options, including an announcement on a college campus or in a swing state.

A campaign announcement would be welcome news to many Democrats because it would give Clinton more resourcesto respond tofastmoving problems. Some in the partyarefrustrated that her team seemed ill-prepared torespond to thedisclosures ofher emails. Their clunky response, they say, is an indication that she needs to quickly step up her engagement in a campaign that is well underway, particularly in early primary states.

"Beinghere means she can say,'Here is whatyou'te hearing, here is myperspective on it,"'said Iowa state Sen. Jeff Danielson, a Democrat fiom Cedar Falls.'You don't even get that chance ifyou'te not here going through that pmcess."

Clinton's desire to put off a formal campaign announcement until this spring has left her operating with a skeleton staf. Her eventual team is expected to include new faces, includingoperatives who worked for President Barack Obama's two White House bids, while excluding some of the advisers who were considered detrimental to her failed first run.

More hires are expected in the coming weeks, said the person familiar with the operation, who insisted on
