State, 3A GRANTS PASSGoing into the 10th anniversary of Sunshine Week, a weeklong initiative highlighting the accountability of government through access to public records, news organizations in Oregon report that government bodies increasingly charge high fees, despite requests to waive them in the public interest. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said she is organizing a task force to propose updates to the publicrecords law.

About 70 peopleattended Sen.Ron Wyden's town hall meeting at the Baker County Senior Center in Baker City Saturday morning.

Wyden, D-ore., said it was his 724th town hall meeting in Oregon. Jan Kerns, a Baker Valley farmer and rancher, told Wyden that she is very concerned about Oregon's low carbon fuels law because it will raise the operating costs on her ranch. Kerns, whose husband, Tim, is a Baker County commissioner, asked Wyden about his views on low carbon standardsatthefederallevel. After noting that he had nothing to do with the issue at a state level, he explained his thoughts on carbon

policy. 'There's a pretty strong difference of opinion about whether or not there is a problem. I think there is a problem ... it is contributing to the kind of weatherwe are seeing.It'sgetting hotter and drier,"Wyden said. He explained that he is doing everything he can to address the problem of climate change both nationally and worldwide. Wyden mentioned that the 2015 fire season could be a bad one in Oregon due to drought.

"Onefmy o top prioritiesin the nextfew weeks — not the next month or later — is tofix the broken systemoffightingfires. The focus hasgot to be onprevention — thinning and goingin there and clearing out the underbrush and small trees." — U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

"One of my top priorities in the next few weeks — not the next month or year — is to fix the broken system of fighting fires," he said."Understand the focus has got to be on prevention — thinnmg and going in there and clearing out the underbrush and small trees." Wyden explained that when big fires happen because there has not been enough preventive work done, bureaucracy takes money fiom the prevention fund to fight the fire. This takes dollars away fiom essential fire prevention work such as thinnmg overcrowded forests. His solution is to pay for the big fires with disaster fund money. That would leave money for the thinnmg and other work designed to prevent catastrophic blazes. George Hauptman, owner of Canyon Outfitters, a Halfway business that runs drift boat and raft trips on the Snake River in Hells Canyon as well as fishing and chukar-hunting

excursions, told Wyden he is concernedabout the trend to privatize lands in the West. Wyden said that was a very good point. "My view with respect to public lands is we always ought to try first and foremost to promote multiple use. That is public land policy at its best,"Wyden said."Obviously we have made some judgments about protecting some of our special places. In my view it doesn't get any more special than Hells Canyon." Wyden said on his watch there wasn't going to be any kind of privatization of places such as Hells Canyon. Al Free told Wyden about the Baker City Council's effort to ban marijuana dispensaries here. He asked Wyden if there is any proposal in Congress to remove marijuana from the federal list of controlled substances. See Wyden/Bge 8A

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald March 16, 1965 Traffic increased on the highways in Baker County during January as compared to one year ago, according to figures tabulated by the Oregon State Highway Department. The traffic increased 3.4 percent on U.S. Highway 30 near North Powder and was up 6.5 percent on the same highway near Huntington. Traffic was up 20.7 percent on Oregon 203 near Medical Springs, up 15 percent on Oregon 7 near Hereford, and up 14.8 percent on Oregon 86 near Richland. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald March 16, 1990 U.S. Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Oregon, heard some concerns and interests of 13 Baker County residents Thursday at the Thomas Angus Ranch. Land usewas one item discussed by Packwood and his hosts at the ranch about four miles west of Baker City. Thomas said those who use the land are the caretakers of it. Packwoodresponded that"they have no choice butto take care of it," because it's their livelihood. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald March 16, 2005 Colton Smith pulls a rumpled piece of paper from his pocket and points to a line of punched-out circles. "I'm ahead of my whole class — I run," the 8-year-old says with a grin. Each punch represents one lap around the playground at South Baker Elementary School, says Allie Ferdig, 8. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald March 16, 2014 U.S.Sen.RonWyden visited BakerCity Sunday and he touted his efforts locally on behalf of what he called "the most important issue of our time — growing the middle class." "The middle class has really taking a shellacking," Wyden, a Democrat, told a crowd of about 40 who gathered at1 p.m. at the Baker City Senior Center. "How are we going to have jobs — and particularly jobs where peoplecan make a decent living?"Wyden asked.

people who are concerned about the sage grouse to be there," Bentz said. There are a number of key items about this bill that Bentz said should prove to be beneficialfor Oregon. One ofitsbestattributes, he said, is that it will not require a fee hike somewhere else to pay for its implementation.

Continued frorn Page1A House Bill 3334 would require the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board to spend $2 million per year on efforts to protectand restoresage grouse habitat.

that the intended terms of the contract are diferent from what's in the contract as signed. In the case of the Langrells' lawsuit, there is no dispute that the contract itself doesn't mention water and sewer rates. Pahl ruled that based on the parole evidence rule, the city can't introduce evidence, such as meeting minutes and the cover letter, that might imply that the absencein the contractofa reference to the Langrells paying double utility rates was merely an oversight by the city. "The city really has no defenses," Knapp said. Langrell said this morning that he and his wifenever agreed,verball y or otherwise, that they would pay double utility rates after their motel was annexed into the city. ''What the city did was wrong," he said."I didn't want to sue the city." Langrell, who was elected to a fouryear term as a city councilor in November 2012, was elected as mayor by his fellow councilors in January 2013. The Council voted 4-3 in July 2014 to remove Langrell's title as mayor — a largely ceremonial position. Langrell remains as a councilor. His term continues through the end of 2016.

not raising taxes," he said. Bentz said another critical theme hovering over the bill is that the effects of an ESA listing of sage grouse wouldn't affect cattle ranchers only. "Small towns will be hurt. That's the key. This is a big deal," he said. Bentz said he hopes a large crowd will be on hand Tuesday morning at the Extension 0$ce. "It would be wonderful if the room is filled," he said. Bentz said the video conference link is a good way to ignite awareness about the sage grouse issue.

"The key is to give people in each of these communities a way to bring them to the Capitol," he said. Another crucial element to the whole matter, he said, is that the bill is actually going to get a hearing before a legislative committee. 'You have to get a hearing to have a chance," he sard. He said he also is confident the bill can gain some traction. "This is a good bill and something that should happen. I'm pretty sure it has supportfrom a lotoffolks," he said.

Free workshop discussesfederal contracting

Kathy Orr/Baker City Herald

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., third from left, strolls toward his town hall meeting Saturday in Baker City with Mary Gautreaux, deputy state director, left; Kathleen Cathey, Wyden's field representative from La Grande, and Jacob Egler, special project director.

WYDEN Continued ~om Page1A W ith respect to recreational marijuana, Wyden said "the voters of Oregon made a judgment that applies in every nook and cranny in the state." Terry Drever-Gee thanked Wyden for promoting the continuation of the Secure

Rural Schools iSRSl program, a vital source of money for Baker County that Wyden originally sponsored in 2000. Wyden talkedabout SRS and anotherfederalprogram, Payment In Lieu of Taxes

iPILTl and said he is doing everything in his power to make sure those programs continue. Wyden said he also is working to increase Oregon timber harvests in a sustainable way, which would increase county revenues, but that the safety net of SRS and PILT is crucial. "There is no way we can get the harvests up high enough so that harvesting alone will get communities what they need," he said. In addition to the local residents who attended Wyden's town hall meeting, the Internetactivistgroup Fight for the Future had

m embers outside protesting against The Trans-Pacific Partnership iTPPl. The TPP is a free trade agreement between the United States, Canada and 10 countries in the AsiaPacific region. China is not a member of TPP. Group members flew a 30-foot blimp bearing the message:"Ron Wyden: It's up to you. Don't betray us." The group is urging Wyden to notallow a"fasttrack"of the TPP. Wyden answered a question from an audience member about the TPP and the fasttrack. He explained that the fast track is a Trade Promotion Authority iTPAl and it is part of the rule-making processoftrade agreements. iThe U.S. Trade Promotion Authority Act of 2002 granted the president the authoritytonegotiate tradedeals with other countries. This authority is sometimes called fast-track authority, since it is thought to streamline approvaloftradeagreements. It expired in 2007. The Obama Administration is seeking renewal of the Act.l 'The folks outside who are protestingare saying there are alotofproblems with

how the rules are written," Wyden said."And I've said You've got a good point.' " Wyden said he has led effortsto getrid ofthe secrecy associated with the discussionsofthese trade agreements in the past. "If you believe deeply in trade and you want more of it, why would you want to haveallthissecrecy that makes people so cynical about the whole process?" Wyden said."I'm leading the fight to have more information get out about what's being negotiated. I think itneeds to be publicfora good chunk of time before anything happens — the president signs it and all the rest." Wyden explained his ideas about trade agreements. ''What I have focused on in these trade agreements is ways to promote exports," Wyden said."I fanybody wants to know my economic philosophy in one sentence ... I'm going to do everything I can — as your senator — to help Oregon grow things here, make things here, and add valueto them here and then ship them somewhere. Thatisabigpart ofour economy." He said"we're increasingly

goingtoseemore exports" and people are "dying to buy the Oregon brand." Fight for the Future member Rachael Townsend asked W yden, 'What areyou going to do add transparency to supportingfasttrack?" Wyden said that he is holding out for anti-secrecy provisions. "I want you and everybody else to get a significant amount of information on what is actually being negotiated. That has not been availablein thepast,"he said. Wyden also mentioned the late Peggi Timm, the Baker City resident who was involved in many Democratic Party activities. Timm died in July 2013. "Peggi Timm loved town hall meetings,"Wyden said. "She loved participating. She loved being out there with the seniors." "As you know, she was veryquiet,"Wyden joked,a reference to Timm's outspoken ways."For all who got to know Peggi, I want you to know we really miss her today and if you didn't get to know Peggi Timm, it's not a good break for you because she was really special and she really embodied this wonderful community."

A free workshop is planned for April 14 in Baker City forpeople interested in trying to securework contracts with public land managing agencies. The event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the David J. Wheeler Federal Building, 1550 Dewey Ave. Topics include: • Who the agencies are and what they do • Policy that dictates work be set aside for small business • Why you are important as a contractor to agency work completion • Sourcesofassistanceto sm allbusinesses • Acquisition process • Are you equipped to do business with the federal government • Marketing to agencies Registration is required.

COUGAR Continued from Pcge1A She said it was a fairly small cougar. Dale Robertson, who lives near 17th and Indiana, said his dogs "went pretty wild" just before dawn. He wasn't sure if it was the cougar that got them so excited. Three tracking dogs searched the area Friday morning but found no sign of a cougar, Police Lt. Kirk McCormick sald. Police received several cougar sighting reports in late February, but subsequent searches, including ones with tracking hounds, failed to find the big cat. 0$cers have searched in the area of Indiana Avenue, Reservoir Road and Grace Street, in the southwest corner of the city.

EDITORIAL

over com ca e We've known since last October that the Baker School District would need to hire a superintendent to replace Walt Wegener, who is retiring June 30. What we didn't expect is that the school board would endup paying threepeople,one ofw hom is Wegener, for the final 3V2 months ofhis tenure. This seems an unnecessary jumbling ofjobs, and an extra expense to the district, which is at the same time lobbying the Oregon Legislature, and with good reason, to allocate more money for public schools. It would be simpler, and less expensive, to have Wegener continue as superintendent, a job he has done well for the past five years, until his contract ends June 30. That would allow Betty Palmer, the South Baker School principal, to stay in that job through the rest of the school year before starting her new position, as assistant superintendent and director of curriculum and instruction, on July 1. Instead, the district will pay Palmer extra to serve as interim superintendent until July 1. But the district will also pay a fee to have the incoming superintendent, Mark Witty, provide "consulting and professional services" — the amount hasn't been set — for the relatively brief period

before he starts drawing his$124,500 annual salary in Baker City. We understand the value ofhaving Witty, the current superintendent of the Grant School District in John Day, spend time in Baker City preparing for his new job. Indeed that's a common scenario in such casesWitty, for instance, attended the Baker School Board meeting Tuesday. It would be reasonable for the district to pay Witty a mileage expense for his 160-mile round trips. What's not common is having the Baker School District pay Witty's current employer so he can work here as a consultant. All these changes mean some fourth-graders at South Baker will have a diferent teacher in the afternoons for the rest of the year. This is no major upheaval, certainly, but neither is it necessary. Otherwise we applaud how the school board has gone about finding Wegener's replacement. The board was aggressive in involving the public in the search, including inviting 30 people to review the initial batch of applications. We also appreciate that the board decided not to spend an estimated$11,000 to hire the Oregon School Boards Association to assist in the superintendent search. The board and district oKcials showed that they're

plenty capable of doing that job. But we're also confident that Wegener can continue to do his job until the end of June, and that both Palmer and Witty will be ready to take over their new duties on July 1.

Your views New giR turns me into a gold panner I received a gift in the mail the other day — abrand new goldpanning kit. It came from one of my old ironworking chums that I had left behind in the Portland /Vancouver area. Vaughn must havefi gured Ineeded more things to keep me busy. Feeling somewhat obligated, my wife and I made plans to try it out. Back home you couldn't look crosswise at a river or stream without some sortofpermit,license orpamphlet so Isetout tocoverour bases.Itw asall about the fish in Vancouver so my first stop was with Fish and Wildlife. They had no problem but referred me to BLM. BLM shrugged their shoulders, as if I had interrupted their extremely

important day with a stupid question, warning me to stay away &om other people's claims. The National Forest people had no problem as long as we weren't bringing in heavy equipment. So with no more knowledge, than before, we headed into the woods. Long storyshort— no gold,we tfeetand sore backs. While recovering I remembered a recent newspaper article by Jayson Jacoby. It had touched on some gold history of this area so I shot him an e-mail asking if he had any information steering us in a gold finding direction. He instantly responded with an inform ative article from a pastissueofthe Herald. The article pushed me towards the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries iDOGAMIl. Jayson had

There is not enough words to express how thoughtful and helpful this gentleman was. He answered every one of our gold panning questions and when I mentioned our interest in rockhounding he came alive. He freely shared his valuable knowledge, sending us on a future full of travel and discovery. A huge thank you to both Jayson and Jason for making us feel we matter. Mike Meyer Baker City

GUEST EDITORIALS

Dave Fro Editorial kom The (Bend) Bulletin: David Frohnmayer never was Oregon's governor, though he wanted to be. Yetin more than 40 years in largelypublic life, he left as big animprint on life in this state as manygovernors have. Frohnmayer died M onday nightin Eugene atage74. He was by party a Republican and moderate to liberal on social issues. It was a positioning that cost him the governor's race against Barbara Roberts, the Democrat, in 1990. Conservative Republicans backed Al Mobley, a social conservative, who took 13 percentofthevote. It's Frohnmayer Oregonians have to thankevery time they turn to the "Attorney General's Public Records and Meetings Manual" to make sense of what recordsand meetings should beopen to the public. He published the first one while

a y e r's strong legacy he was attorneygeneral in the 1980s, a post he held for 11years. Also during that time he fought the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the Indian cult leader whose followers purchased the Big Muddy Ranch and then triedtotake overthegovernment ofWasco County. It was then he issued an attorney general's opinion that said the community of Rajheeshpuram, on the ranch, was not a legitimate citybutrather the"equivalent of areligious commune" and thus not eligible for state tax dollars. The list of Frohnmayer's accomplishments is long. He was a Rhodes Scholar. He argued seven cases before the US. Supreme Court, winning six of them. He was dean of the University of Oregon School of Law and, for 15 years, the presidentof the

university. He helped the school raise more

than $1billion. He continued to practice law with a Eugene firm until the end, taking cases that sometimesled toraised eyebrows because, he said, that's what lawyers do. tucaily, he represented Deschutes County earlyin then-DistrictAttorney Patrick Flaherty's tenure. Yet even the best and the brightest must sometimes live with tragedy, in Frohnmayer's case the loss of two ofhis five children to a rare genetic disorder. Busy as he was serving Oregonians, he and his wife, Lynn, worked hard to raise money for research into the disease. Frohnmayer was a man who cared deeplyaboutOregon and thepeoplewho live heie. He spent his adult life proving that,over and over.

Ferguson shooting thwarts progress Editorial kom The Kansas City Star: Everyone should be outraged over the shooting of two officers early Thursday outside the Ferguson, Missouri, police station. The nonfatal shootings brought a violent end to a day that otherwise produceda step forward, asembattled Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson stepped down from his post. Jackson's exit follows the equally necessary resignations of City Manager John Shaw, Municipal Judge Ronald J. Brockmeyer and two Ferguson police officers. Also, the Missouri Supreme Courtappointed a state appeals court judge to oversee all municipal cases in Ferguson to restore trust in the judicial system. Change is overdue in Ferguson and

those who gathered to demonstrate Wednesdaynightwere demanding more. But the cowardly ambush of police officers damaged their cause. This week's tumultuous events come after the U.S. Justice Department last week released a 102-page report showing the city routinely discriminated against and violated the constitutional rights of African Americans. Ferguson officials used the Municipal Court and Police Department to generate revenue for the city through ticketing, warrants, arrests, fines and fees. City officials must reach a settlement with the Justice Department on the charges or facea lawsuit to force reforms. Violence, looting, property damage and arrests have occurred too frequently in the months of protests

after the Aug. 9 shooting of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black, by white Ferguson police OIIicer Darren Wilson. A state grand jury and the Justice Department declined to file charges against Wilson. The gunfire from a hill overlooking the Ferguson police station hit a St. Louis County police officer and a Webster Groves officer. Both were releasedafter being treated ata St. Louis hospital. The shootings, though, follow the deaths of two New York City officers in December by a gunman who said it was in retaliation for another widely publicized death of a citizen in an encounter with police. Peoplehave a righttoprotestand demand corrective action. It is appalling that potentially lethal violence has become partofthe scenario.

AT A GLANCE

Young's buzzerbeater leads Ducks past Utah LAS VEGAS (AP)Joseph Young walked down the hall holding a phone, watching a video of the last-second shot he had made a few minutes earlier. When the ball fell through the net, the Oregon senior pursed his lips and nodded his head as if to say, "Yeah, that's right." A shot like that was worth watching again. Young hit a long 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left and scored 25 points, helping Oregon outlast No.17 Utah 67-64 on Friday night to earn a spot in the Pac-12 Tournamentchampionship game. "Ifelt like ifI set my feet right, straight up and down, follow through, and that's all she wrote,"Young said. No. 2 seed Oregon (25-8) led 64-60 with about 90 seconds left, but Utah's Dakarai Tucker hit two free throws, andYoung was called for an offensive foul with 12 seconds remaining. Delon Wright was fouled by Jordan Bell about 30 feet from the basket, and the Utah senior hit both free throws, setting up Oregon's final shot. Oregon coach Dana Altman wanted to have Young come off a screen to get the shot, but the 6-foot-2 guard insisted on bringing the ball up himself. Instead of taking the ball to the basket as Altman thought, Young pulled up from close to 35 feet and made it. The Utes (24-8) had one last chance, but Wright's desperation heave missed.

TORONTO — Portland's Nicolas Batum was so pleased with the way his team played in a big win overthe Raptors,he called it "a dream game." To slumping Toronto, it was more like a nightmare. LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points and 10 rebounds and the Trail Blazers beat Toronto for the 12th time in 13 meetings, routing the struggling Raptors 113-97 on Sunday night. "That was a great game tonight, one of the best games of theyear,"said Batum, who finished with 10 points and 12 assists, one shy ofhis season-high."Offense and defense, the way we played was serious, very focused on the game plan. That was a dream game almost. I would love to play like that every time." Damian Lillard scored 23 points, and ArronAfflaio had 14 to help the Trail Blazers open a five-game trip with their eighth victoryin nine games. They improved to 3-1 since losing starter Wesley Matthews to a seasonending ruptured Achilles tendon. ''We're peaking at the right time,"Aldridge said. 'You want to peak toward the end of the season and right now we're peaking at the right time." DeMar DeRozan scored 22 points, and Jonas Valanciunas had 14 for Toronto. The Raptors lost for the 10th time in 12 games. Toronto, which beat Miami on Friday night, has not won consecutive games since a four-game run on either side of the All-Star break that included home wins over the Clippers,

Baker tennis coach George Keister is hoping the changes m ade to the SpecialDistrict 4 4A/3A/2A/1A tennis lineup will be a benefit for the Bulldogs. Keister said oneofthe largestchanges for Baker is Ridgeview and Crook County leaving the district. "They never really wanted to make the trip over here and we didn't make the trip overthere,"Keistersaid. "So we really didn't know anything about them before we played atdistrict." Under the new lineup Baker, La Grande, Mac-Hi, Ontario, Vale and Nyssa from the old district join CondonWheeler, Griswold, Ione-Heppner, Riverside, Sherman, Stanfield-Echo, Umatilla and Weston-McEwen in the new district. "Basically it's everybody in 4A/3A/2A/1A in Eastern Oregon," Keister said. And, there is a new procedureto gettothestate tournament. Baker, Ontario, Vale, Nyssa and La Grande will meet in a sub-district tournament in May at Ontario. The other teams will follow a similar format in Umatilla and Morrow counties. Each sub-district will finish with four singles players and four doubles teams advancing to the district tournament in May at TriCities, Wash. The top four singles and doubles from that tournament advance to state. Keister is especially high on this year's Baker girls team. "Ifyou remember we had a new group of 11 or 12 girls a couple of years ago as freshmen. Now those girls are juniors and have a couple of years experience," he said. "I think we'll be pretty strongin our district." Newcomer Kate Averett joins returning Kassidy Hertel to form one of Baker's doubles teams. "Kate has played several sports, and I think her experience in volleyball will help her in tennis," Keister said. Baker's No. 1 doubles team is Hannah Wilson and Lena Bowers. The No. 2 team is Megan

Gracie Huggins is among the returning Baker girls tennis players. Burk and Hollis Robb. The No. 1 returning singles player is Gracie Huggins. "Gracie was good as a freshman and she should be evenbetterthisyearasa sophomore," Keistersaid. "She's a very competitive player." Others in the picture include Kaylee Burk, Josie Bryan, Stella Bowers, Tori Gentili, and Alex Wachtel. The Baker boys team is pretty much the opposite ofthe girls, withjustseven players. ''Wehave two returning players in Hunter Stone and Ezra Taylor," Keister said. Those two played doubles last year, but will switch to

singles this season. The rest of the team is inexperienced. Foreign exchange student Max Gruber, Austin Emery, freshman John Cunningham andthenewly-formed doublesteam ofBrandon Stairs and Ryan Schwin round out the team. Most of those players have limited or no tennis experience. ''We'll just go out and do the best we can each match," Keister said. "It will be a learning, progressing experience throughout the season." Keister will be assisted by Dave Johnson and Luke

PORTLAND —The Trail Blazers didn't have to scramble to finish against the Detroit Pistons, and that was a good thing with a looming five-game road trip. Damian Lillard had 28 points, including five 3-pointers, and Portland built a big lead in the first half and cruised to a 118-99 victory over Detroit on Friday night, handing the Pistons their ninth straight loss. — Anne M. Peterson, AP Sports Writer

San Antonio and Washington and a road victory at Atlanta. Lou Williams scored 11 points, and Kyle Lowry, Amir Johnson and Greivis Vasquez each had 10 for Toronto, who sent many in the sellout crowd of19,800 home early after falling behind by 18 points in the final quarter. ''We have to make sure we get stops," Raptors coach Dwane Casey."If you don't it's going to be a long night, especially against a great 3-point shooting team like Portland." Batum's double-double was his second in five games, and he's scored 10 or more in four of those. "He probablybenefi ted fiom the All-Star break more than anybody," Portland coach Terry Stotts said."It allowed him to kind of rest his mind and resthis body and he's been the Nic Batum that we're all used to."

PORTLAND — Rather than be disappointed with two ties to start the season, Timbers coach Caleb Porter

suggested his team take a while to let the latest — a 2-2 draw Sunday with the defending MLS Cup champion Los Angeles Galaxy — sink in. ''We're not playing weak opponents,

we've played two of the best teams in the league," Porter said.'We don't look overmatched, we don't lookintimidated." Alan Gordon scored the equalizer for

Los Angeles in stoppage time to take some of the shine off Fanendo Adi's two-goal performance for the Timbers, who also played to a 0-0 tie at home against Real Salt Lake last weekend.

LAS VEGAS —Through all the success the Arizona Wildcats have had, the regular-s eason titles,thedeep NCAATournament runs, they were hounded with one question: When are you going to win the Pac-12 Tournament again? They had an emphatic answer, turning MGM Grand Arena into one giant Wildcat party. Finally playing their best under the conference's brightest lights, No. 5 Arizona ended 13 years of fi ustration with a dominating 80-52 win over Oregon in the Pac-12 Tournament championship game Saturday night. ''When anyone asks when Arizona last won the Pac-12 championship, you tell them 2015,"Arizona coach Sean Miller said after accepting the championship trophy from conference Commissioner Larry Scott. Top-seeded Arizona i313l won the regular-season titleand reached the tournament finale for the second straight year with two convincing wins. The Wildcats rolled over Oregon in a dominating first half of the championship game, building a 15-point lead with a flurry of 3-pointersand transition baskets in what felt like a home game with so many Arizona fans in the stands. The Wildcats let up a little defensively in the second half, but were even betteron offense to polish off their first Pac-12 championship since Lute Olson was coach and Luke Walton was tournament MVP in 2002. Tournament most outstanding player Brandon Ashley scored 20 points and Stanley Johnson added 14 for Arizona. T J. McConnell had 12 pointsand six assistsforthe Wildcats, who shot 54 percent. "For every great team, there comes a point where you really have to come together as a team and we've done agreatjob ofdoing that," Ashley said after celebrating under a mammoth shower of confetti atcenter court."It's just the right time; everyone seems to be clicking."

LAS VEGAS —Wyoming entered the Mountain West Tournament looking to change its fortunes. Five losses in the last six conference tournament games didn't exactly inspire confidence. Well, now the Cowboys are a win away from a title. Josh Adams scored 27 points and Larry Nance Jr. added 20to lead Wyoming to a71-66 overtime victory over No. 25 Boise State in the Mountain West Conference tournament semifinals Friday night. "I'mfeeling pretty good, but thebeststatis 2-0 in the Mountain West tournament," said Adams, a junior.

"Not many people had faith we could do anything here. Now we're winding up in the championship game. It's just a credit to this team and how hard we've worked, how we stuck to our principles, stuck togetheras a team. Riley Grabau and Derek Cooke Jr. each scored four points in overtime, and Jason McManamen's 3-point bank shot helped seal the win for Wyoming. Grabau finished with 13 points and was 8 for 8 &om the free-throw line for the Cowboys. Wyoming was the only Mountain West team Boise State had not beaten this season, as the teams met just once in the regular season, a 65-54 win by the Cowboys.

DORY'S DIARY

SpringIntoTheSeasonWithFreshllandelion Salads

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Hunt Hall, and e

price of progress The headline in Feb. 20th's Observer disturbed me. "Hunt's Days Ending?" Surely they weren't seriously considering tearing down the old Hunt Hall on the Eastern Oregon University's campus. Dick Mason's article in the newspaper said it, contrary to my thinking, so I knew it must be so. Just another old building? No, I think not. It's one of the few we still have left in La Grande that has any history behind it and yet it appears that money must be the bottom line of everything when thinking of our losses over the years. That's what the economy dictates, not the value ofhistorical memory if you can't afford it. I'm not here to argue the decisions made byothers,for m aybe they know the only answers and I don't have the information, but I do cry again inside just knowing that in time no one will even consider when and why the building was erected or was actually there on topofa parking lot. It was in recognition of the Wilson Price Hunt Expedition entering our Grande Ronde Valley in 1811 in which Madame Marie Dorion helped chart the way. The Eastern Oregon College of Education's 1939 building was first named for Madame Dorion in a naming contest at the then "college" with student Inez Wellman's suggestion being chosen. My research about this Indian woman who helped take the explorers through the westward trip toward Astoria from Montreal appeared in the weekend edition of The Observer in May last year, accompanied with photos of the Dorion building and Miss Wellman. It was prompted by the placement of an historical marker paying tribute to Madame Dorion being honoredin Champoeg on thewestern side of Oregon. In 1958 a new women's dormitory was constructed elsewhere on the campus and the Dorion Hall section was given over to the Hunt Hall men's dormitory unit that had been added in 1947. The naming of this arm of the building had been originally recognized for the Hunt expedition, so the additional Dorion expansion ofhousing for the men was greatly increased. At the time I wrote the article to honor Madame Dorion, I did not go on with the Hunt expedition information other than to acknowledge that she was part of the group with her husband, Pierre Dorion, and their small children. Now I need to jump from 2014 to almost a year later in which the news came forthfor the possibledestruction of this very building that had honored such a courageous woman and, actually, the men who first found their way as an expedition through our very own valley. Itseems very sad,ifnottragic,to those of us who lived through some of thosecollege years,W orldWar II,the cadets who were housed there temporarily ialso the old Sacajawea Hotel, destroyedlong agol,thegirlsand boys who rested and studied there between classes held in what is now seen as the Administrative building. So many new buildings, a greatly enlarged and enhanced campus to welcome new students every year who could learn of our local history just by the educated naming of a building. I jump again to my own situation for a moment to tell you that I opened another box.

FormIescom News Service

Springis here and that means eating salads is just plain trendy. Soon the heat will be upon us and many of us will be eating more greens to keep healthy. There is nothing more delicious than a freshly made salad with homemade dressing. Here are a few of my new favorites. Ihaverecently discovered thatdandelion greens are a great source of nutrition. When combined with spinach the bitterness of the dandelions is masked, together they are a great combination. I really enjoyed making both of these salads and found it satisfying to make the dressings, specifically for the salads. They are both delicious and really filling. Ifyou have been following my column you know that I love to play with all kinds of recipes, but these two I have been making on aregularbasissinceIdiscovered them. Ihope you enjoy making them also and as always I would love to hear what you are enjoying.

Homemade chili.

French term for having everything prepped and ready, it's a breeze. To easily cut the chicken breast, placeiton a plate and placein thefreezer for 15 minutes. Doing so freezes the chicken slightly and makes it easier to cut in even cubes. While the chicken is in the freezer, cut up the vegetables and have measured out the ingredients needed for the sauce. This dish gets its spiciness from one ingredient: a fresh red chile. You can use any variety of red chile, such as a jalapeno, Fresno, and even a habanero. Keep in mind all will have different heat levels, with habanero being the hottest. And if you use the ribs and the seeds with the chile, that too will increase the level of spiciness. If you have no fresh chiles, you can stir in some sriracha sauce, chile garlic sauce or your favorite hot red pepper sauce to taste into the sauce mixture.

South Florida has gone viral — and not in a good way. We're in the throes of cold and flu season. Before running to the doc or drug store, check your fridge or spice rack. Spices are the source of more serious body boosters than your mom's chicken soup isorry, Mom). In some ways, though, mother knows best. Heat fights a cold. Hot tea and steaming miso soup made with seaweed iwakame flakes) not seafood iboniato flakes) are veg-friendly, comfortingand keep you well-hydrated — very important. Another way to get heat is by way of warming spices. They taste good and help you feel better, too. This deliciousprecept comes courtesy of Ayurvedic medicine, India's ancient holistic healing system integrating mind, body and spirit. These spices are antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and immunity-strengthening, with cleansingpropertiesthat

Numerous studies have linked spices to reducing respiratory misery and cancer risk, curing arthritis and asthma, for treating Alzheimer's. Many studies and moms can attest to ginger's stomach-soothing powers, too — nice to know if the virus hits your gut. Citrus is another body sludge-buster and adds vitamin C, too. Paired with ginger, itcan'tbe beat. Lemon ginger tea is an effortless, awesome DIY cure-all. No lemon?

While the calendar page has already flipped to March and spring is mere days away, I can't help but grasp onto these waning days of winter. Before we know it — and long before I'll be ready for it — the mercury will rise upwards of 80 degrees and thejoy ofeating heartier,ribsticking comfort foods will fade. Before that happens — before we turn our culinary thoughts toward grilling and berries and summer gardens — be sure to hit that slow cooker a time or two more. Years ago, I had the snappy idea that — enough of the Nallys and the Hormels and the Staggs of the world — I was going to make a pot chili all on my own, mostly. The fact is, the very thought of turning dried beans into something edible was mystifying. No matter how many recipes I'd follow, no matter how closely I adhered to the directions, no matter how long I'd cook them, making a pot ofbeans from dried invariably ended up like deliciously seasoned rocks. Thus, when I decided to make homemade chili, it began with opening a can of prepared beans. Luckily, my friend Yvonne Romero enlightened me on the finer points ofhydrating dried beans. The trick: Soak the beans in salted water overnight. Not only does this perfectly soften the beans, but something science-y happens during the soak that reduces the resulting gassiness factor. 5ou're welcome.) The following is a chili recipe I found years ago online, and haveadapted over time. Whil e thisversion appears to have just under 500-million ingredients, go with what suits your taste. I can promise my recipe here won't be anywhere near spicy enough for some, but it is flavorful. Feel free to improve upon it as you will. Just do it soonbefore winter escapes you.

7 ounces firm tofu ("/2of a 14-ounce package), drained, pressed and cut into "/2-inchcubes 1 handful watercress or spinach leaves, sliced into ribbons 1 handful of cilantro, chopped Pour vegetable broth into a medium saucepanand heat over high heat. Add the lemongrass, ginger, scallions, garlic, turmeric, sriracha or chili sauce, mushrooms, soy sauce and lime juice. Do not taste at this point — flavors are sharp. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender. This is all the time the spices need to mellow and come together. Add the tofu and float in the watercress or spinach leaves. Stir for a moment or two, until greens are lightly wilted. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the chopped cilantro. — Source: Ellen Kanner for Edgy Veggie.

I can't help, personally, in wishing that there was some wayin which it could be saved, not for an aged building as such, but for the very importantmessage ofourpastthat will be lost withoutits restoml presence. Likewise, the steps outfiunt of the campus facing Ninth Street. But, then, I'm just an old woman who still remembers.

For the beans: 1 pound bag dried kidney beans 6 cups water 1 large onion, coarsely chopped 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon salt For the chili: 2 pounds ground beef 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 can (14.5 ounce) peeled, diced tomatoes with juice 1 bottle (12 ounces) dark beer 1 cup strong brewed coffee 2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste /2cup packed brown sugar 4 tablespoons chili powder 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon ground coriander /2tablespoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon salt /2teaspoon pepper The night before: Put the dried beans, onion, garlic and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large pot. Completely cover the beans with water. Let the pot stand overnight. In the morning, drain, rinse and pickthrough the beans, removing any detritus or weird beans. For the chili: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic and ground beef until the meat is browned. Drain off the fat. Transfer the meat to a large pot, and add all the rest of the ingredients (beans last), mixing well. Let the whole thing simmer over low heat for 1"/2 to 2 hours. Flavor to suit your palette. Enjoy!

WASHINGTON When Barbara A. Mikulski first stepped onto the Senate floor in 1987, she saw only one other female senator. They were required to wear skirts and were prohibited from using the male-only gym. But as the retiring MarylandDemocrat preparesto relinquish the title of"dean of the Senate women," she leaves a political environment that is fundamentally changedfiom access to the treadmills to the possibility that a woman could ascend to the presidency. The number ofwomen servingin Congress has increased fiom 25 to 104 since 1987, and researchindicate sthatfem ale candidates now are just as likely toraise money, captme m ediaattention and getelected as their male counterparts.

Mikulski, who waited until her fifth term before she was given her first committee chairmanship — she took over the Appropriations Committee in late 2012 — believes that significant work remains. The first female Democrat elected to the Senate in her ownright, MiMski has campaignedforotherDemocratic women acmss the country for years.And she founded the bipartisan, closed-doordinnersof female senators that have long been aWashington institution. "Now we're going to go for the big enchilada, which is Hillary," said Mikulski, who announced this month that she would not seek re-election in 2016.

At the same time, advocates ate troubled by an enthusiasm gapthathasslowed thepaceof gains among women at some levels. The proportion ofwomen servingin state legislatures, for instance, has remained essentially stagnant, atjustover 20 percent, since the mid-1990s. And whilethe number of women in the Senate has grown, they still represent a smaller share of the body than in the U.S. population at large. Women hold just two committee chairs in the new Republican-controlled Senate and only one in the House.
