Engineers and crew with the Oregon Department of Transportation connect about10 electrical sensors at critical areas on the underside of the Bridge Street bridge Tuesday morning. Tests were being done to determine the present load capacity of the bridge. Flaggers directed traffic safely through the area until early afternoon. Sensors would reveal the amount of stress bearing down on concrete and steel from an ODOT truck loaded with about 50,000 pounds of rock, according to John Snyder, an ODOT employee. Wires connected sensors to laptop computers on shore, where engineers accumulated data to be reviewed later at their Salem office.

a er as sin 'wea er Tuesday was the sort of day that happens only once a year. Spring, the genuine article, arrived in Baker County. Lawnmowers buzzed. Short-sleeve shirts emerged from hibernation. Lilac leaves thrust a little farther

from their buds. The temperature topped out at 76 degreesatthe airport,m aking Tuesday the warmest day in more than half a year.

The record high for the date is 82 degrees, set in 1996. But lest you feel shortchanged, temperature-wise, consider this: The average high temperature for April 8 is 56 degrees. i79 degrees on Sept. 20, 2013.l Balmy though it was, Tuesday And the high on that date last didn't set a new standard for April 8. year? 48.

Course, the Council quickly discharged the six ordinances thatrepresented the coreof the agenda. The Council selected five volunteers — Corrine Vegter, BrianVegter,Ann Mehafy, Terri Axness and Derek Hosler — to serve on the newly-formed Public Arts Commission, and assigned Councilor Dennis Dorrah and City Manager Mike Kee as cit y representatives to the new board.

Prescribed burning underway in forest The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, taking advantage of dry and warmer weather, has started spring prescribed burning. These managed fires are designed to accomplish multiple goals, including reducing the risk of wildfires by reducing the amount of fuel on the forest floor, stimulating the growth of fire-resistant species, and increasing the amount of forageforwildlife and livestock. In most cases the prescribed fire follows other work such as commercial logging or non-commercial thinning. Wallowa-Whitman fire managers work with the Oregon Smoke Forecast Center to schedule prescribed burning at times when it's less likely that smoke will settle in valleys. Typically the WallowaWhitman does prescribed burning on 5,000 to 10,000 acres each year. SeeBurning/Page 8A

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 9, 1964 Photo: LUMBER FROM BAKERTOALASKA — More than 35,000 board feet of timber, sent by the Burnt River and Ellingson lumber companies, were to be put on a special government cargo vessel in Portland this morning for earthquake-stricken Alaska. The loads were transported by truck to the Portland docks yesterday by Ben's Transfer and H.G. Carter, a private operator in La Grande. The Baker lumber companies joined with other companies in Oregon in sending building materials forAlaska's rehabilitation efforts. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 10, 1989 Eastern Oregon miners got a chance Friday night to tell the state what they think of permit and inspection fees that range from $50 to $3,400. Surprisingly, it's printable. The confrontation turned out to be far more gentlemanly than had been predicted. And Department of Environmental Quality official Kent Ashbaker got a few grudging handshakes from miners as he left the three-hour session. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 9, 2004 There's an old saying that"the early bird catches the worm."That same philosophy might apply to a Baker High School softball project prompted by BHS assistant coach Bob Moon. Moon, who also happens to be St. Elizabeth Health Services board chairman, has a plan to get Baker City-area girls interested in the sport of softball from birth. To that end, Moon had the 2004 Baker varsity players autograph four dozen brightyellow Spaulding softballs with their names and uniform numbers. Each ball also will include the message "Happy Birthday from the 2004 BHS Softball Team." Moon has taken the signed balls to St. Elizabeth where one will be presented to the parents of each new baby girl born at the hospital this year. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 12, 2013 Baker County's alleged ghosts have earned their keep, at least in the cable TV realm. "Ghost Mine," the paranormal series that debuted this January on the Syfy channel, will return to the network in September for a run of 12 new one-hour weekly episodes. The first season, which started Jan. 16, consisted of six hour-long shows. "Ghost Mine" averaged 1.25 million viewers during its initial season, according to a press release from Syfy.

both sides. The Lostine River Road is the best example on the Wallowa-Whitman. For about 10 miles the road is

bordered on both sides by the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Whether Congress will designate wilderness near the North Powder River Road remains to be seen. The Forest Service, in the draR version of the new long-term management plan for the WallowaWhitman unveiled last month, recommends in its preferred alternative adding about 9,500 acres to the North Fork John Day Wilderness. The addition would start at the North Powder River and take in Twin Mountain and the Dutch Flat Creek valley to the north. Other alternatives call for a larger addition to the wilderness that would extend both north and south of the North Powder River. In either case, Kramer said, the Wallowa-Whitman's preference is to continue to allow motor vehicles on the North Powder River Road. That should remain the Wallowa-Whitman's position, should Congress ever take up a bill that would designate new wilderness in the Elkhorns. Moreover, we're certain local residents will make it overwhelmingly clear, should the matter ever arise, that the North Powder River Road should remain open to motor vehicles.

e ein a roa 0 en A Wallowa-Whitman National Forest ofIicial's recent statement that the forest intends to keep the North Powder River Road open to motor vehicles, even if Congress designates new wilderness in that part of the Elkhorn Mountains, was welcome. That's a popular route into the Elkhorns and it should remain accessible by motor vehicles. But the Wallowa-Whitman's stance is not the definitive word on the matter. Congress, as Jodi Kramer, the Wallowa-Whitman's public afairs oKcer emphasized while talking about the North Powder River Road, decides whether to create wilderness. And Congress — subject, of course, to the president's signature — sets wilderness boundaries. That said, the Forest Service's recommendation regarding the status of a road that borders a wilderness would likely be persuasive in Washington, D.C. It's possible to both designate wilderness, and maintain motorized access, by means of a"cherry stem" road. The basic idea, which Congress has employed in many places, including the north side of the Eagle Cap Wilderness in Wallowa County, is to allow motor vehicles on an existing road that has wilderness on

Your views The world does need alternative energy

Marshall McComb Baker City

In his April 3, 2014, op-ed in The Record-Courier opposing the Huntington windfarm, Mr. Bill Harvey did us a gravedisserviceby declaring thatour need for renewable energy is "not based on fact or need." He thus asserted his denialoftheexistence and impact of global warming, a beliefhe explicitly statedin hisletter totheeditorofthe Baker City Herald of July 22, 2013. In seeking to impose his misguided and unscientific beliefs on us, Mr. Harvey is flying in the face of almost all climate scientists, and he is sowing seeds of doubt and confusion around a profound environmental threat to our well-being. On March 31, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change iIPCCl urged swift and decisive action to limit greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels iwhich generate about a quarter of the Pacific Northwest's electricity). Otherwise, the world will almost surely face centuries of climbing temperatures, rising seas,speciesloss, and dwindling agricultural yields. Even now, said the IPCC, ice caps are melting; and droughts, floods, and wildfires are getting worse. The report's conclusions mirrored those of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world's largest scientific society. Two weeks ago, the associ ation declared that theworld is already feeling the effects of global warming, that the ultimate consequences could be catastrophic,and thatthe window for effective action is swiftly closing. In stark contrast, the Skeptical Science website contains correction and refutation of 176 myths foisted on us by the fossil fuel industry and antigovernment ideologists denying the existence and source of global warming. I don't know where Mr. Harvey gets his information, but I do know that millions of Americanshave been brainwashed by waves of disinformation coming from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and other right-wing media outlets. In any event, we can no longer afford to be misled. Global warming is a real and present danger; we do need all the alternative energy sources we can get; and we do need government subsidies to get them off the drawing board and into the mainstream.

Reducing carbon footprint won't save the planet Radical environmentalists tell us that burning fossil fuels is causing the earth to warm, and that eventually the consequences of this are going to be catastrophic. Therefore, they go on, to save the planet, we must all reduce our carbon footprints. But if the first statement is true, then acting on the second one is futile. Even if we cut back on our use of fossil fuels, they still are being burned, and so the earth will continue to warm. We thus are not stopping global warming; we are merely delaying it ... a little. How little? Consider: The government has decreed that the average fuel economy for all automobiles sold in the United Stateswillbe increased to 45 mpg. If thisis achieved by the target date,it is estimated that by 2042, the amount of CO' in the atmosphere predicted for February will not occur ... until March. Wow! Cram us all into four-wheeled motorcycles for 28 years, and the rising seas are held back for a whole month! Make a few more drastic changes like that, and apocalypse might be pushed back to June! No, if you truly believe that the fate of mankind hangs in the balance, you will not just reduce your carbon footprint, you will eliminate it altogether, for aslong asfossilfuels continue to be burned, the earth will continue to warm. You'll trade your car for an oat-burner; horses don't run on gasoline. You'll raise all your own food, forfarmers use tractors and their produce is hauled to market in trucks, both of which run on diesel. You won't heat your home in winter with natural gas or oil. Electric heat is out as well; most electricity in this country is generated by burning some fossil fuel. And so on; you'll basically have the standard of living which our 18th century ancestors enjoyed. Very few of us would voluntarily change our lives so drastically. Reducing our carbon footprint doesn't save the planet; it only allows us tofeelgood about ourselves,mo re enlightened than those ignorant catastrophic climate change critics. Pete Sundin Baker City

Ostriches, lemmings and other urban legends While perusing the stacks like a homeless bag-man in our most excellent public library recently, I came across some revisionist humor by the editors at Cracked magazine called 'The De-Textbook: The Stuff You Didn't Know About The Stuff You Thought You Knew."As a voraciousreader,Ichecked theirreferences and saw they did their homework. Here's what I learned: In the 1st century A.D., Pliny the Elder mistook sleeping ostriches iwho sleep with their necks flat on the ground) for cowardly birds who are so terrified by the concept of night that they, well ... you know. The truth: This bird has a 2,000-pounds-per-square-inch kick i2V2 Mike Tysonsl with reversible knees and 4-inch talons. Imagine sneaking up on one of nature's most efficient killing machines and you can see what makes this urban legend such a dangerous one. Started in 1908 by author i"Children's Encyclopedia") Mee, the lemming myth shot to infamy in 1958 with Walt Disney's Oscar-winning documentary, ''White Wilderness." Lemmings don't commitsuicide,so thecrew decided to throw them off a cliff. Laughing yet? With Mother Nature currently poised above our heads like the hammer of God, it's amusing to me that my species has ahistory ofprojecting its attributes to other beings that have nothing to do with its behavior. In AA parlance, we are barely snailing our way up the razor from the denial to the anger stage. Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand at the first sign of danger.

People do. Lemmings don't jump off cliffs togetherjustbecause everyone elseis doing it. People do. If the human species lives to see the acceptancestage,thefirstlettersof apology should go to ostriches and lemmings. It's not their fault they were born noble and wise and we were born evolutionarydead-ends.Who knows, maybe thegl live long enough to read them. Meanwhile, I think I'll join my fellow contemporaries in leaning back and popping another cold one. Hey look, the mountains are still blue. Woot! Woot! MH Heintz Baker City

Nyssa batters had a go at four Baker pitchers Tuesday afternoon at the Sports Complex. They didn't get a hit off any of the four. Starter Caleb Custer and relievers Chace Dixon, Kyle Srack and Micah Mespelt combined on a no-hitter as

ONTARIO — Baker opened its Greater Oregon League schedule Monday by traveling to Ontario and sweeping the Tigers by scores of 11-5 and 12-5. The wins boosted Baker's overall record to 4-6. In the first game Baker tooka 9-0 lead intothebottom of the fikh inning. Molly McCrary drove in a pair of runs with a single in Baker's biggest inning, a four-runfi fth. Dani McCauley drove in another run with a single, and Sierra Koehler plated the other run with a groundout. Ontario rallied in the fifth, scoring all five of its runs to narrow Baker's lead to 9-5. But the Tigers didn't score again, and Baker added two insurance runs in the seventh. Morgan Plumbtree earned the win in the circle,

Baker i5-2l beat Nyssa 6-0 in a nonleague game. "Our pitching was excellent," Baker Coach Tim Smith said. The quartet of Baker pitchersamassed eight strikeouts to go along with just two walks. Baker's offense wasn't exactly overwhelming — five of the Bulldogs' six hits were singles. But Baker batters drew eight walks. 'They gave us some free bases and we manufactured some runs," Smith said. Chace Dixon had two hits, including a double. Srack drove in two runs and Taylor Gulick and Stephen Schott each had one RBI. Baker's performance wasn't quite flawless, though, Smith said. As was the case in Baker's 8-6 win Saturday at Emmett, Idaho, the Bulldogs struggled defensively. Baker committed five errors. aWe talked about defense before the game," Smith said.

BY BUFFALO WILD WINGS • Restaurant chain to start pouring Baker City Brewing Co.'s gold medal-winning Shredder's Wheat ale at 11 locations By Jayson Jacoby WesCom News Service

Tyler Brown thought he was just going out for dinner. He ended up making what might turn out to be the most significant deal ofhis 16-year career as a brewer. Brown owns Baker City Brewing Co. in Baker City, which includes both Barley Brown's Brew Pub, which opened in 1998, and the Tap House that opened last year just across Church Street from the brew pub. He was in Portland in February, attending a hop growers' convention. He went to a couple of events with officials from Fat Head's Brewery, an Ohio company that's building a brewpub in downtown Portland's Pearl District. The restaurateur who will operatethat brewpub invited Brown to dinner. "It's kind of a funny story," Brown said.oWe were having cocktails at the bar — Spanish

Some were not pleasant. New math, it turns out, was not really new and history was dates and people you learn about for a test and then become part of your history. Like manypeople,Ihave mixed memories of the time I spent in school, but I remember the one tool that really worked: the report card. Thosepiecesofpaperwerethealpha and the omega of the student experience, from preschool through graduate school. The report card focused you, it energized you and it was your dash board. If you shared the results with others, italsoserved asam easurement that ranked you versus your peers. I heard rumors that somewhere in the schoolsIattended there was alistofthe highest ranked students; but since I was never on the list I heard about it from some of the people who said they were. According to my fellow students, being on that list was a motivator and having the opportunity to be at the top of the list created competition, which is also motivating. The report card was the all purpose tool of accountability. My question for business owners and leaders: what is your business version of the old fashioned yet highly useful report card? Accountability is a very strange spice. Owners like it for others but not for themselves. Employees clock in, fill out their time cards. There are checklists, procedures, flow charts to follow. Employees are reviewed and evaluated. Managers write reports. Power Point presentationsare created and displayed. Evaluationsperformed, raises awarded, or perhaps not. Everyone seems to be held accountable for something very specific except for the person at the top. "I'm in charge of everything" is the mantra of the owner. However, employees and managers also believe and will state if asked, that they are also in charge of everything. iJust ask them.) After all, employees and managers are being held accountable for everything by the owner. It's true that the owner is responsibleforkey performance areasofthe business and should operate more like a conductor of the symphony than the first chair violin player ibeing a leader versus a technician) but they often don't. Many owners I know hire people and don'tallow those employees tooperate to theappropriate levelofauthority and responsibility. Everything and everyone waits forthe owner'sapprovalbefore proceeding. These same owners complain how hardtheywork, moan about thelong hours they put in, and come up with excuses as to why they don't, won't or can't take more than a couple of days away from their business for a decent vacation. The owner is often the problem, and not the solution. The owner hides behind the endless task list so little of consequence is actually delegated. The owner does not want to be held accountable for doing anything specific because that means they will be at the same level astheir employees. But without regular, candid accountability of the metrics that drive not only the business but the business owner, growth of consequence is likely to be minimal and fleeting. Having a system of formal accountability will close the performance gap ofcurrentresultsto goalsand give the owner a report card he or she can be proudof.But before thereportcard can producemagic,there hasto be areport card.

DIRTY WINDOWS?

by Stella Wilder WEDNESDAY,APRIL 9, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you aren't one for goodbyes. In fact,you structure as much ofyour life as possible to avoid them at 3)l costs. This may be for oneortwo specialreasons:You do not always copewell with other people's displays of emotions, and you prefer not to display your own emotions in any situation that you cannot completely control, or while you are under the watchful gaze of the world at large. In short, you like to control and manipulate circumstances; you do not like to fall victim to them. THURSDAY,APRIL )0 ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to get many different answers to even the simplest and most direct questions. Perhaps it'stheway you'reaskingf TAURUS (Aprll 20-May 20) — Youwant to get on the road with enough time to spare, so that ifanything should go wrong, you will not miss a key rendezvous.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - What happens without your knowledge islikely to have a big effect on your day. You'll want to be ready to react appropriately. CANCER (June21-July 22) —Youmay be wondering how it is possible to prepare yourselfforsomething you cannot see,hear or anticipate, but you'll find a way. LEO (July 23-AUS.22) —Now is no time to whine about things you cannot control. Instead, do everything possible to control those things you can, and go from there.

DALLAS — If you want to start a fight, talk about pay differences between women and men. And then throw in politics just to spice things up. That is what's happening in Texas and across the country as equal pay takes center stage as mid-term elections heat up. Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wendy Davis recently rebuked her Republican rival, Attorney General Greg Abbott, for his opposition to legislation that would make it easier for workers to file a wage discrimination claim. State Sen. Davis sponsored the bill last year, but it was vetoed by Gov. Rick Perry. Davis isoneofseveral Democratic women candidates nationally hoping to mobilize female voters, who are a critical voting bloc. Candidates — fiom Marylandgubernatorial hopeful Heather Mizeur to North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan — have voiced their commitment to fight for issues important to women, including equal pay, health care and domestic violence. The numbers show that women working full time make less than men overall. In Texas, the annual median pay for women in 2012 was

$35,453, or 79 percent of men's $44,802 median pay, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Nationally, the pay ratio of women to men was 77 percent. Those figures are for all workers in alltypesofjobsand exdude certain factors, such

The greater fearisthat the gap widens over time, meaning women have less earning power and save less forretirement. The focus on paychecks comes as more women partici pate in theworkforce and more women are the main breadwinners here and nationally. The question is why payparity has not been reached yet. "I think there's no one answer,whichI guessis whyit's a controversial subject," said Sandra Black, a professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin who has studied gender pay issues. "Some people say the pay gap is notreal, "said Catherine Hill, vice president ofresearch for the AmericanAssociation of UniversityWomen.'The pay gap is real; it's just explained in different ways."

Reports show the pay gap starts early and widens over time. Women working full timeearned82 percentof what men did just one year after graduating fiom college, according to a 2012 study by the American Association of University Women. Even after accounting for variations in choiceofm ajor,typeofjob and number ofhours worked, 7 percentofthedifferencein women's earnings to men's could not be explained, Hill SRld.

Women also tend to work in lower-paying jobs, such as teachers, while men take higher-paying jobs in computer science and engineering. The fact that a wage gap persists for women after accounting for differences has led some researchers to conclude that wage discrimination exists in the workplace.
