Good Day Wish To A Subscriber A special good day to Herald subscriber Roger Medlin of Baker City.

Oregon, 5A SALEM — Seventeen years after Oregon decidedto become the first state to hold all elections with mail-in ballots, it took another pioneering step Monday to broaden participation by automatically registering people to vote. Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill that puts the burden of registration on the state instead of on voters. Under the legislation, every adult citizen in Oregon who has interacted with the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division since 2013 but hasn't registered to vote will receive a ballot in the mail at least 20 days before the next statewide election. The bill is expected to add about 300,000 new voters.

The Oregon Legislature's House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources heard from Baker County residents Tuesday morning aboutthe possible effectsoffederal protectionforthe sagegrouse. The residents testified via video conference about House Bill 3334, sponsored by Rep. Cliff Bentz, ROntario. The bill would require the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board to spend $2 million per year from the Lotterybudget toprotectand restore sage grouse habitat. Bentz's goal is to show officials from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who will decide later this year whether to list the sage grouse as threatened or endangered, that Oregon is working to protect the bird and thatfederalprotection isnot necessary. Kathy Reedy, owner of The Depot Inn motel in Sumpter, appealed to the committee.

"As a business owner in a small community, I'm concerned that the sage grouse will result in closing public access," Reedy said."It'll be devastating to small businesses like my own. I would ask that you consideralloptionsbefore making a decision that would ruin many small community businesses such as my own and others in my community." Reedy said 75 percent ofher customers are ATV or snowmobile riders or hunters. Christina Witham, who owns the OregonSign Company in Baker City, addressed the committee about the

economiceffecta listing ofthe sage grouse would have on local businesses. She said it would directly limit access to mining, ranching, hunting and recreation 'The cumulative effect of the listing will spiral through our community from those directly affected to eachofthe localbusinesses that depend on them for income," she said.cwithin those groups directly affected are business who I rely on for income as well ... The more economically restrained those shops are, the more this listing will affect me as a local business owner." Witham said this "trickle-down effect of the listing will be devastating to our community, our history and our future." Jacob Bingham, a local rancher and volunteer president of the Baker County Livestock Association, told lawmakers that beef cattle production is the largest agricultural commodity in the county.

Baker County has lost an almost four-year legal battle with Columbia Basin Helicopter, a Baker Valley business owned by David McCarty. Judge Ronald J. Pahl of Umatilla County ruled that McCarty is not violating county land-use laws by operating the business on his property on Ben Dier Lane, about 12 miles northwest of Baker City. Pahl issued his ruling recently after a trial that took place Jan. 20-21. McCarly was not available for comment. Joelleen Linstrom, a spokesperson for Columbia Basin Helicopter, said the ruling is a reliefbut not entirely satisfying. See LawsuitlPage5A

TURNING BAcK THE PAGEs 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald March 18, 1965 The BureauofReclamation haslaunched a$29,000 project in the Lower Powder area to assist in the reconstruction of six or seven ditches damaged during the recent flood, the Baker County LivestockAssociation was told last night. County Extension Agent LeRoy C. Wright, association secretary, made the announcement at the regular monthly meeting of the organization at the Baker Motor Inn. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald March 19, 1990 There was good news and bad news revealed at Friday's annual membership meeting of the Sumpter Valley Railroad Restoration. The restoration received a significant donation, but a request for a Fred Meyer Charitable Trust grant is running into snags. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald March 18, 2005 An autopsy was to be conducted Friday to confirm the cause of death and the identity of a body recovered by members of the Baker County Major Crime TeamThursday from a shallow grave at a campground near Unity. Jason Paul Huff, 25, andTimothyAllen Colucci, 24, both of Meridian, Idaho, are being held in the Ada County Jail in Boise on accusations that they killed their 23-year-old roommate, Nathan Ned Fries, and buried him atWetmore Campground. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald March 19, 2014 John Clarke has been following the mystery of the missing Malaysian jetliner with a perspective few people share. Clarke, who lives in the foothills of the Elkhorns northwest of Haines, is a retired airline pilot. He worked for United Airlines and captained Boeing 7779, the same model as the missing Malaysian Airlines plane, for the last six years of his career, which ended in 2000. "It's a beautiful, beautiful airplane," Clarke said of the 777. "I never had any problems with it. It's a lot of fun to fly, an easy plane to fly."

LA PINE — A woodburning power plant remains a possibility for La Pine, with the city now taking the lead on the project from Deschutes County and the company behind it waiting for a change in the energy market. "It's just been on hold due to market conditions," said Rob Broberg, president of Biogreen Sustainable Energy Co., based in Vancouver, Washington."And we plan on holding out until we are able to market and sell power." The company must find an energy buyer to make the planned plant economically viable, said Rick Allen, La

Pine city manager. "They need to find a power company that wants to buy their power," he said."That's really the issue."

The $75 million, 25-megawatt biomass plant would produce enough electricity to power about 19,000 homes, Broberg said. The plant would burn wood — limbs and otherscrap leftover after logging, debris from thinning projects and urban waste —toheatwater,create steam and turn a turbine. Interestedpower companies would likely be in California, where the state requires an increasing percentageofitspower to come from "greener" sources such as biomass, wind and solar.

LOCAL BRIEFING

Biogreen has been considering a biomass plant in La Pine, which is surrounded by forest, for more than five years. The company has held land and building permits for the plant with Deschutes County, but those have expired. Tom Anderson, Deschutes County administrator, said future dealings will be with the city of La Pine. The plant would be in the La Pine Industrial Park, which was county-run and predated the incorporation of the city in

2007.

"Now that the city is incorporated, the county felt it was important to give the city a little more self-determination as towhat kind ofprojects go into the (industrial) park there,"Anderson said. Last fall the county and city reached an agreement for the city to manage the remaining land in the 320-acre park while the county still owns the property. About half of the acres are still available.

It looks increasingly likely that a decade-old mistake by a former Baker City attorney will cost the city thousands of dollars. If nothing else, the lawsuit that current City Councilor Richard Langrell and his wife, Lynne, filed against the city last year illustrates how vital it is that oKcials go over contracts with the proverbial fine-toothed comb. It's no coincidence that"contract" is usually pre-

ii~IllD~ •~

cededbythephrase"legally binding. " In 2005, then City Attorney Tim Collins wrote a contract between the city and the Langrells. In agreeing to have their motel annexed into the city, the Langrells were supposed to get something — a 10-year exemption on paying city property taxesand to give something in exchange — agree to pay double water and sewer rates for their motel. The contract included the property tax exemption,

which has saved the Langrells about$39,400 over the past 10 years. But the contract, as Judge Ronald J. Pahl noted in a ruling last week in the Langrells' lawsuit,"was silent on water and sewer rates." That omission, Pahl ruled, precludes the city from introducing evidence at trial that could show that, notwithstanding the contract, the Langrells had previously acknowledged that they were to pay double water and sewer rates during the period when they didn't have to pay city property taxes. Such evidence exists, including a letter Collins sent to the Langrells in January 2005 that, unlike the subsequently signed contract, does specifically cite the city's policy of charging higher utility rates for properties outside the city limits. Pahl's ruling is based on the legal concept of"parol evidence." The basic idea is that the signed contract is what matters, and that previous documents or discussions, even if they contradict or call into question the contract itself, can't be used as evidence to dispute that contract. Because the city can't use that evidence at a trial, which is tentatively scheduled for April 1-2, we don't see that the city can mount much of a defense. Which means the city not only waived almost $40,000 in taxes the Langrells would have paid, but it probably will have to repay more than $10,000 in utility fees.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: The Department of the Interiorappears tohaveitspriorities crooked. The new priority of Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell's rangeland fi re strategy isto better protect sage grouse habitat. That's an important priority. Settlers once said they saw millions of the birds. Now the numbers might be as low as 200,000. It might be listedas an endangered species. What's unclear is what the new priority means when fire managers have to make choices. The priority ranking has been protecting human

life, protecting private property and protecting public resources. Now there's the new one to protect sage grouse habitat. One Bureau of Land Management official had suggested that it could mean that private property couldbe moved below protecting sagegrouse habitat/publicresources. We asked the press office at the Interior Department in Washington, D.C., if that's how it will work. No, they told us. The statement they sentsaid it"doesnotre-prioritizethe protection oftheecosystem over the safety of the public and our firefighters." It's just another critical fire management priority for

managers to consider. Maybe that makes sense in Washington. But in Oregon, at least, it doesn't work to just keep adding priorities. You have to know how you value them. If you are a federal fire or land manager, you have to make choices about how you use resources. It's probablynot goingtobe asrazoredged a drama as We can save the sage grouse nest or we can save that home. Which is it going to be, sir?" But it's easy to imagine that there will be decisions similar to that. There's a lot more to Jewell's new rangeland plan than the odd sense

of priority. There are action items to improve fire prevention and containment and also restore the area after a fire occurs. There will be morefocus on data collection to ensure what is done is measured and evaluated. Bettersuppliesof native seeds willbe gathered for restorationwork. Thereis acallfor deploying more veteran fire teams earlier in the fire season. That all sounds good, but back to priorities. Do you remember the Buzzard Complex Fire last year in Eastern Oregon? It began July 13. Lightning ignited multiple spots east of the Stinkingwater Mountains in Har-

ney County. The fire spread quickly because of fuels on the ground. The Bureau of Land Management noted that it moved along well even without wind, feeding on non-native grasses. The fire was eventually contained about a month later after burning some 400,000 acres. That's 625 square miles. There were at least 11 nesting areas for sage grouse in the burned areas. Those were mapped. Under this new policy, the nests would have been whatever priority fire managers wanted them to be. That couldbe a treacherous protocolfor private property.

lots, it took another pioneering step Monday to broaden participation by automatically registering people to vote. Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill that puts the burden ofregistration on the state instead of on voters. Under the legislation, every adult citizen in Oregon who has interacted with the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division since 2013 but hasn't registered to vote will receive a ballot in the m ail at least20 daysbefore the next statewide election. The bill is expected to add about 300,000 new voters. "It just changes expectations for who's responsible for making elections work," said Barry Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and director of the Elections Research Center. "In every other state, it's the responsibility for the voters to make sure it happens."

A history of opposition Some other states have considered such legislation but none has gone as far as Oregon. Minnesota nearly implemented automatic voter registrat ion in 2009 before the plan was vetoed by Gov.

About 20 people would work at the plant and another 65 or so would work in the forest, gathering wood to burn.Given thenumber of thinnmg projects in the forests around La Pine aimed atreducing the chance of large wildfires, he figures there should be a steady supply of wood.

While not helping any group opposed to the planned plant in La Pine, Mike Ewall, executive director of the Pennsylvaniabased Energy Justice Network, said his nonprofit has helped stop other biomass projects in Oregon and around the country.He arguesthatbiomass plantsare "very polluting and veryinefficient."

The questions include how much air pollution the plant would create and how safe the railway shipping wouldbe. Calling the plan for biomass in La Pine a"very valuable project,"Biogreen'sBroberg said the power plant would put offless smoke than wood burned in open air.

GROUSE Continued ~om Page1A He said it would be a huge economic blow to his and others'ranches if the sage grouse were listed as an endangered species. "Listing the bird would increase our business expenses — I feel — in many ways — specificallyin increased pasture grazing fees," Bingham said."A higher demand for grazing land on private land would be created if the numbers of cattle permitted on public lands is reduced trying to savesome ofthese core areasiofsagegrousehabitat.)" Bingham said it would cost him at least an additional $20,000 per year to his business expenses. "As ayoung husband and father and provider offive children — $20,000 goes a very long way," he said."Ask yourself,'Are you willing to give up that much ofyour bottom lineforthe sagegrouselisting?'" Bingham urged the committee to explore other kinds of wise management and all alternatives and to consider the devastating effect a listing would have on him, his fellow ranchers and communities in the area. Rep. Susan McLain, vice chair of the House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, thanked the Baker County residents for expressing their opinions. "I also wanted to tell you that this committee is hoping that the plan that we can all work on together with all of the folks — the feds, the state, the counties, the property owners, and all of your organizations and the diferent groups you've talked about today — is so we won't get a listing," McLain said.'We don't want to get a listing either and we do understand that it does really affect you folks close to home." Debi Bainter, executive director of the Baker County Chamber of Commerce, said 95 percent of the 300 Chamber members in Baker County are small businesses. "Ifthesage grouse were tobelisted asendangered,it would start a chain reaction similar to the loss of the timber industry in rural Oregon," Bainter said."Much of our economy in Baker County relies on access to public lands. Ranching, mining iandl tourism would all be directly and adverselyaffected.I'm sure Idon'thave to draw apicture for you about how the cattle industry would be affected by the loss of public lands or even mining." She explained that the tourism industry would experience a terrible blow. "Restaurants, gift stores and attractions would begin to struggle," Bainter said. She went on to name several outdoor recreational activities that contribute to many businesses'incomes. 'Those businesses would dry up if access to our public lands is lost," Bainter said. She said the Chamber supports HB 3334. Baker County Commission Chairman Bill Harvey testiied tothecommittee asarepresentativeforsome 17,000 f Baker County residents. 'They're all at risk oflosing jobs, income iandl families," he said."My children themselves don't live in Baker County anymore because of the job losses we've suffered over here through the loss of our natural resources." Harvey explained the cattle industry is strong in Baker County now because of the work ranchers have put into developing habitat for all wildlife — not just the sage grouse — for many decades. 'They've got some success stories on their own without the studies, without the programs, without the federal dollars — they've been working hard throughout the years to do this," he said. Harvey said businesses are barely hanging on in many cases. ''What we have is being chiseled away even more," he said.'The ranchers are trying desperately to manage their operationssothatthey can mitigate possibledamage to wildlife. We don't have any more to give. I'm pretty sure the folks on the west side of the state don't want to keep subsidizing us over here. We certainly don't like taking the money for that." Committee Chairman Brad Witt thanked those who testified and said it was the committee's intention to help. 'You're doing the work on the ground. Politically we're going to try to do whatever we can here fiom Salem to help avoid a listing," he said.

WASHINGTON — There was less than a minute left on the clock, the Washington W izards appeared setto hold on to beat the Portland Trail Blazers after letting a 25-point lead dwindle to three, and yet there went John Wall, launching himself into the stands, tumbling five rows deep or more, slapping a loose ball back into play. "I thought he was crazy for a minute," teammate Bradley Beal said."But that's him. He lays it out on the line, each and every game.... You can't knock his hustle." Another teammate, Rasual Butler, took a more pragmatic view of Wall's foray into the courtside seats late in Washington's 105-97 victory over Portland on Monday night, the Wizards' fourth consecutive win. "I'm thinking that I want him to land safely," Butler said.'That's our guy. We need him." Wizards coach Randy Wittman's take was similar That's the main thing you worry about — that he doesn't twist a knee or turn

with the outcome still in doubt, Wall blocked a shot at one end — Portland pleaded for a goaltending call — then sprinted the other way and kicked the ball over to Pierce, whose 3-pointer made it 99-90 with 2 minutes left. Pierce pounded his chest. Wall raised his arms then pointed at himself. Portland coach Terry Stotts, meanwhile, was called for a technical, and Beal made the free throw. 'Yeah, I thought it hit the backboard first. That would be agoaltend,"Stottssaid afterward."That's whyI was upset. It was a big point in the game."

The Wizards are 14-12 in those games.

BEAL'S BACK Beal had his best allaround game after missing time with a right leg injury, making 8 of 13 shots, including 4 for 4 on 3-pointers."I just told him,'Go out and play. Don't think about anything. Don't think about a missed shot or a mistake,"'Wittman said."And I thought he did that tonight."

NOME, Alaska — Dallas Seavey has won his third Iditarod in the last four years, beating his father to the finish line in Nome early Wednesday after racing1,000 miles acrossAlaska. Seavey came in under the city's famous burled arch finish line to wild applause from fans lining the street, some who poured out of the bars that stayed open into the wee hours. An exhausted Seavey, who also won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 2012 and 2014, petted and hugged his dogsaftertheirvictory. "It takes a whole team to get any of us here," he told reporters at a finish line ceremony, which was broadcast and live-streamed. Later, he hoisted two of his dogs onto his lap and officials draped the animals with garlands of

Seavey was presented Wednesday with $70,000 and the keys to a new pickup truck. The winner's purse increasedthisyear,and the top prizewas $19,600 more than what he pocketed for last year's race. "I'm pretty tired right about nowit's been a tough race," he said."The cold zaps you. The dogs, they're very lively, but it takes a lot of effort to keep them well-fed, keep them rocking and rolling. This is a hard dog team to keep up with." Poor weather south of the Alaska Range this year forced the official start farther north to Fairbanks, on the northern side of the mountains.

A year ago Baker softball coach Alan McCauley welcomed back just one returning player — outfielder Kayla Davis. This season McCauley not only welcomes Davis back for her senior season, but he adds 11 other returning players. "Unlike last year when we returned one player, we return 12 this year," McCauley said. Because of the familiar faces,the Bulldogs startthe season ahead of other years. aWe definitely are ahead of the game," McCauley said. aWe'll have all of our defenses in by the first game. We hope to rely on timely hitting and solid pitching. aWe'll have a little more speed than in past seasons. But I hope we're more of a game togame, contactbase hittype ofteam," he said. Davis, an honorable mention all-Greater Oregon Leagueselection lastseason, will once again anchor centerfield for the Bulldogs.

Bakertrailed 8-0 entering the bottom of the sixth inning before lighting the scoreboard. A single by Nicole Parsons and walks to Molly McCrary and Kayla Davis loaded the bases with none out.

DAYTON, Ohio — Let this be a lesson to the 64 NCAA Tournament teams yet to take the floor: A quick start means a lot. A great finish is even better. Reginald Jackson was at his best early and late to lead Hampton — just 12-17 and headed nowhere 12 days earlier — to a 74-64 wire-to-wire victory over Manhattan in a matchup of 16 seeds on Tuesday night at the First Four. In the nightcap at the University of Dayton Arena, BYU led by 17 at half but Mississippi regrouped in the second halfbehind Stefan Moody, outscoring the Cougars 25-0 off turnovers in a stunning 94-90 win. aWelcome to March Madness," said Rebels coach Andy Kennedy after his team went from downtrodden to a second-round matchup with Xavier in exactly 20 minutes.'This was a tale of two halves."

The Rebels i21-12l move on to a date with sixth-seeded Xavier on Thursday in Jacksonville, Florida, on Thursday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Hampton Pirates, who have won five in a row just to get to the.500 mark, now get to play mighty Kentucky, No. 1 overall, 34-0 on the year and chasing history. "It's a heck of a mountain, you know what I'm saying?" said coach Edward Joyner Jr.aWe know that. We're going to go and compete. And let the chips fall where they may." For Hampton, Quinton Chievous added 15 points and 13 rebounds before leaving with a sprained ankle in the final minutes. He11 be a game-time decision for Kentucky, as will leading scorer and rebounder Dwight Meikle, also out with an ankle injury. M oody scored 26 pointsand led Mississippi's comeback from a 17-point halfbme. The Rebels trailed until Moody

led a 15-2 run midway through the second half He hit a late 3-pointer that helped finish off the tournament's first big comeback. Kennedysaidhemade a couple of minor adjustments at the half and also asked his players to prove they belonged in the tournament. "Definitely there was a sense of urgency," Moody said of the halfbme speech.aWe could have come back out and it could have gotten worse. But AK challenged us and we responded." M.J. Rhett added 20 points for Ole Miss, including a pair of three-point plays and a dunk during the go-ahead run.

BYU i25-10l pulled off the biggest comeback in NCAA Tournament history in Dayton three years ago, rallying from a 25-point first-half deficit to a 78-72 win over Iona. This time, the Cougars couldn't hold the big lead. 'This game will sting for quite a while," coach Dave Rose said.

'This was a good check point to see where we're at," McCauley said. The Baker coach was pleased with his team's pitching and defense. The Bulldogs turned three double plays in the game. "Our defense played well," McCauley said."Three double plays. That just about beat how many we had all oflast season in one game." McCauley also was happy with the overall outcome of his pitching staf. Starter Morgan Plumbtree was rocked for five runs in the first inning, but she settled down to allow just one more run in two more innings. Dani McCauley and Koehler each allowed just one run in two innings of rehef each. "I was happy with our pitching. Except for that first inning Morgan threw well. And, Dani and Sierra

"It will be a steep learning curve all season, but they're having fun," Keister said. Baker's lone winner was No. 3 singles, Ryan Cunningham who won in two sets. The Baker girls split the varsity singles 2-2 and did likewise in the varsity doubles. "The girls played very well. It was a good start,"

said Baker coach Dave Johnson. Gracie Huggins and Josie Bryan won Baker's singles matches. Huggins won in straight sets and Bryan in three sets. Kate Averett and Kassidy Hertel won the No. 2 doubles match, losing just two games in straight sets. Hollis Robb and Megan Burk also needed just two sets to win the No. 3 doubles.

Bird Hu strain has farmers scrambling By Steve Karbowski The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Animal health experts and poultry growersare scrambling to determine how a dangerous new strain of bird flu infected poultry flocks in fourstates— and to stop itfrom spreading. Avian influenza is common in wild migratory waterfowl but doesn't usually harm them. But the H5N2 strain is deadly when it spreads to commercial poultry. It can wipe out a flock of tens of thousands ofbirds in a few days,asitdid atafarm last month in Minnesota, the nation's top turkey-producing state. The

same strain soon turned up on two farms in Missouri and one in Arkansas. The vast majority of turkeys and chickens in the U.S. spend their lives confined indoors to protect against disease.Yet,as the infections show, viruses can still reach them — tracked in by humans or rodents; carried on trucks, equipment, crates and egg flats; passed from waterfowl to shore birds that find their way into a barn. 'This new guy is a bad actor," said Dr. Carol Cardona, an avian influenza specialist at the University of Minnesota. Minnesota confirmed its

t's a difficult thing when a loyal, dedicated employee walks into your office and tells you that they are resigning because they have taken a job someplace else. It's a punch in the gut, hard and unexpected. Hearing those words, probably the last thing you expected, leaves you feeling like you are dying on the inside. On the outside you smile and wish the person thebestin theircareer. Resignations have always taken place but lately the pace seems to be picking up as the economy improves. Retaining good employees is starting to be a serious problem. You'll find out sometime after the initial announcement that the person wasn't actively looking for a job; they seemed quite content to be working for you. Then one day they receiveda phone calloutof the blue with an opportunity they couldn't refuse to discuss further. Conversations ensued, meetings took place and before you know it, one of your better employees, one you had invested in, and had designs on to take on additional responsibility, walks into your office and tells you that theQ be gone forever in a couple of weeks. There are three things that every owner should know about being punched and then learning your employees are being poached out of your company. First, there is now, and always has been, a severe shortageofgood employees. And there always will be. I believe there are people working today who really don't want a job. These are people who regularly show up late, leaveearly and do their best not to do anything while on the clock. Why people are this way is not important; the fact is, in many companies, the employee population is dominated by people who aren't interested in anything more than getting a paycheck. So when an executive recruiter or a company recruiter who has been scouring Linked In calls your company and speaks to a SeeKeller / Page 2B

The complaints also detail a lack of training for handling hot fryers and slipping on wet floors. A representativeforthe Labor Department, Laura McGinnis, confirmed the complaints were received by OSHA but said the agency does not discuss ongoing investigations. In a statement, McDonald's Corp. said the company and its independent franchisees are committed to providing safe working conditions for employees, and will review the allegations."It is important to note that these complaintsarepartofa larger strategyorchestrated by activists

The complaints extend a central theme of the "Fight for $15o campaign, which has been to hold McDonald's accountable for working conditions at its franchised locations. That would ease the way for worker negotiations and unionization across the company's more than 14,000 U.S. restaurants, the vast majority of which are run by franchisees.

mitted to the La Grande Farmers' Market. Wasley took over as market manager in 2010. According to Charles Jones, Wasley has turned the market into a real community asset. 'The farmers' market used to be a few tables for a few weeks alongside Sunflower Bookstore with a smatter of produce and eggs," Jones wrote in his nomination letter."Now it is the pride and joy of the valley." Many of the nomination letters for Wasley listed the early 2000s playground project at Riverside Park, for which Was-

chains, including Burger King and Wendy's, have said they'renotresponsiblefor employment decisions at franchised restaurants. The matter has reached the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, which said late last year that McDonald's could be named as a joint employer in complaints by workers. Those complaints have yet to be heard, but whichever side loses is expected to appeal the decision. Kendall Fells, organizing director for Fightfor $15,said the injuries at franchised and company-owned restaurants mostly came about because understaffmg and employees being told to work too quickly — both of which he said were the result of a computer system thattracks salesand staffmgmetrics. The computer system was also cited in lawsuits lastyear thatallege"w age theft" by McDonald's and its franchisees for the denial ofbreaks and overtime pay. That system has been key in the argument by labor groups that McDonald's exerts enough control over franchisedrestaurantsto be consideredajointemployer. Fells noted that workers are looking at every way they can hold McDonald's accountable, and that work-

leyhelped toraise $120,000. Wasley, who declined an interview, said in her speech at the Union County Chamber of Commerce banquet that there were many others who deserved the award. "I feel like I am surrounded by women who on a daily basis do wonderful things that make our community a better place," she said in her speech."I can't name all the women who have been and who remain inspiring examples to me. Women who work hard and who enrich all of us by their contributions. As they say,'A good man is hard to find.'To that I might add,'But there are good women everywhere you look in Union County.'

federal government and poultry industry. Once H5N2 was confirmed at the farms, surviving turkeys were killed and kept out of the food supply. Officials quarantined the facilities and declared sixmile-radius restricted zones. They tested nearby farms but found no signs of other infected flocks. "At least right now we're breathing a little easier," Missouri Department of Agriculture Director Richard Fordyce said. To infect a commercial flock, the virus still needs to getinto a barn.Itspreads throughbird-to-bird contact or via bird feces,soeithera person, a bird or a rodent has to physically bring it inside.

added. The goal is to "keep what's in the barn in and what's out of the barn out," said Steve Olson, executive director of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association and the Chicken and Egg Association of Minnesota. He added that many farms also rely on disinfectants to try to kill virusesbefore they're tracked into or out of a barn. Arkansas last year edged North Carolina as the No. 2 turkey producer in the U.S. North Carolina, which like Arkansas is among the top chicken producers, isn't in an affected flyway.

place injuries are just the latest issue they're bringing to light. Although the OSHA complaint system doesn't let workers name joint employers, Randy Rabinowitz, a health and safety legal expert who was hired by the

Fight for $15 campaign, said there have been other cases where multiple employers areissued citations forthe same violations. She said she's not aware of any such casesinvolving fast-food restaurants, however. She said the first onsite OSHA visits triggered by the complaints took place in the past week or so, and that the agency has six months to issue citations. Mary Vogel, executive directorofthe National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, said in a conferencecallorganized by labor groups that the burns and otherhazards detailed in the complaints are "pretty universal" in the fast-food industry. McDonald's, which saw customer visits at established U.S. locations decline in each of the past two years, has been trying to reinvigorate its image. Earlier this month, the company's chief administrative officer, Pete Bensen, said a big part of the U.S. turnaround will be what the company is doing around "the employment image and our employee-employer relationships."
