BRIEFING

Volunteers needed to build playground in early May Volunteers are needed to help install new playground equipment at Geiser-Pollman Park on May 12 and 13, and possibly May 14. There are two portions of the installation projectequipment construction and surfacing installation. A crew from Powder River Correctional Facility is tentatively scheduled to do the surfacing install. Volunteers will complete the equipment install and other related work under the direction of a professional playground installation supervisor. Volunteers are asked to commit to an eighthour shift, and can sign up by calling Linda Collins at 541-523-6243. Lunch and snacks will be provided both days. Preparation for installation will take place the first full week in May and include removing old equipment, excavating the site and drilling holes for the new equipment. The merry-go-round has been donated to the Crossroads CarnegieArt Center for future use as a public art display. The other removed equipment, if it meets current safety requirements, will be sold by competitive bid at the next scheduled City eBay auction. The remaining portion of the playground, approximately 10,150 square feet, has not had any new surfacing for many years. Efforts are under way to find funding to complete this piece of the project. To learn more about the project, or make a contribution please contact Lisa Jacoby at 541-523-3681 (lisabritton79@yahoo. com), Kim Mosier at 541-519-1526 (kim. mosier.esq@gmail. com) or Joyce Bornstedt at 541-524-2046 (jbornstedt@bakercity.

They also stock the room with housewares, blankets, pillows, children's clothing, shoes, jewelry and personal hygiene items (these must be new, or are purchased with donations).

Kaylan Mosser's love and admiration for her pitbull-mix dog, Jasper, has paid cash dividends. The Baker Middle School eighth-grader's essay about what she has learned through her relationship with Jasper won first place in her division of the Oregon Humane Society Be Kind to Animals Poster and Story Contest.

Kaylan won a $100 gift card for her story and was invited to attend the "A'Cat'Emy Awards" banquet in Portland, said teacher Chelsea Hurliman.

The lingering legal conflict between Baker City Mayor Richard Langrell and the city appears to be on the verge of escalating. And a court battle might be on the horizon. An April 1 letter from Langrell' sattorney Langrell to the city asks for more than $12,000 in reimbursement in connection to an annexation/waterfee dispute.Also included in the reimbursement demand is money that Langrell and his wife, Lynne, assertthey've paid to be partofaruralfi re protection district. In their initial request in early January, the Langrells asked the city to reimburse

Kaylan said she had to decline the invitation because the banquet is scheduled on a school night. The 13-year-old Mos s er is the daughter of David and Dawn Mosser. Her story was chosen from among 2,500 entries, Hurliman said. Kaylan says one of the lessons she's learned from her 6-year-old pitbull-mix is not to judgeothers by their appearance.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 11, 1964 Photo: CANDIDATES VISIT —Tom McCall, (center) Republican candidate for Secretary of State, is greeted on arrival at the Baker airport on Friday byWalt Gildersleeve (L.), Baker County Republican Committee chairman and Floyd Maxwell (R.). McCall, stopping briefly here on a 2,000-mile, two-day, 25-city-stop flying tour of the state, announced that Maxwell would be his Baker County campaign chairman. McCall chatted briefly with political friends from Baker before taking off for Ontario, Burns, Redmond and backto Portland. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 11, 1989 The best way to jangle the nerves of rancher these days is to mention "Cattle Free By'93." Earth First! environmentalists have come up with that catchy slogan to point out their resolve to have cattle removed from federal lands. The sometimes radical group (mainly known for putting spikes in trees to halt logging) is convinced livestock grazing has ruined millions of acres of natural habitat on theWestern range. And now Earth First! has updated its agenda with another clever one-liner: "No Moo in '92." Although those little quips might crack a smile, local ranchers aren't amused. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 12, 2004 Making mandatory the control of whitetop in the county's northeast corner — including Baker City — brought out no opposition during a public hearing last week. Baker County commissioners will again take testimony during their April 28 regular meeting before deciding whether to "A-list" the weed, making its control in the district mandatory. The proposed region's boundary extends from south of North Powder along 1-84to the Smith Ditch. It then follows Highway 7 west to the Grant County line. The mandatory control region includes Baker City, Sumpter and Haines. The designation also makes cost-share funds available to anybody fighting whitetop, said Arnie Grammon, weed supervisor. ONE YEARAGO from the Baker City Herald April 15, 2013 Joe Bell plans to start walking across the United States on Saturday, April 20. He is the father of Jadin Bell, a15-year-old teen who killed himself this past winter after being bullied by classmates at La Grande High School. Telling Jadin's story to as many people as possibleespecially young people — seemed like the right thing to do, Joe said. He'll stop along the way to explain to various community members why it's important not to humiliate or intimidate people simply because they are different. Jadinhad been open abouthisbeing gay andthose close to him believe this is why he was bullied.

Business Award by the OSU Austin Family Business Program in honor of strong family involvement, longterm success and successful ownership transition. Of noteworthy projects, Sid greatly valued constructing the poma-lift, ski-shop, maintenance shop and numerous private cabins at Anthony Lakes, later followed by construction of Grand Targhee Ski Resort's first ski-lift, lodge and condominium in the Tetons of Wyoming. His most creativeeffort was working for the "Paint Your Wagon" movie producersin 1968 asa construction manager to build No Name City and "Elizabeth's Cabin." Hollywood executives gave Sid freedom to construct a small city that would fall apart on cue — a most entertaining challenge. In the early 1970s he secured a Boise Cascade Manufactured Homes dealership and erected over 200 residences in Northeast Oregon over the next 15 years. He was a pioneer in merging passive-solar and energy conservation technology into the building industry in Eastern Oregon; accordingly many of the custom homes he designedand builtintegrate such distinctive features. Community involvement was of the essence for Sid, volunteering his time by way of Boy Scout leader, Presbyterian Board of Trustees, Baker Jaycees, Baker County Red Cross chairman, secretary/ treasurer of the Baker Lions Club, Baker Planning Commission, Baker City Council, Baker Industrial Development Commission, Baker County Planning Commission,second president ofthe Oregon Small Woodlands Association and Baker County Weed Board. He was a charter member in forming the local Home Builders Association. Sid was one of five local leaders appointed to the steeringcommittee to frame and organizelocal,state and national efforts to build the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, which opened in May 1992.Sid was celebrated in 1988 with the Baker County Legacy Man of the Year. At the state level, Sid served as Oregon Jaycees vicepresident;elected state president of the Oregon State Homebuilders Association in 1989, served on the State Construction Contractors Board for two years and was recognized in 1984 with the Regional Builder of the Year Award. Sid was appointed by the Oregon governor to serve two four-year terms on the Oregon State Governing Board for the Department of Geology and Minerals Industries. In 1969 Sid and Nancy acquired title to the 160 acres on Alder Creek where he lived as a child, and they gradually began building ponds and planting evergreen trees. This began his odysseyofafforestation of arid sagebrush land — his foremosttangiblelegacy.

Sid engaged in treenabbing from forests around the Northwest and transplanted them atAlder Creek. H e later resorted to actually purchasing commercial seedlingsand planted several hundred each year. In 1995 he obtained an adjoining 576 acresofmo stl y sagebrush land and continued developing his small forests. He startedbuilding a cabin,shop and greenhouse on the property in 1992 as a home from which he could devote his full time to the trees and ponds. Sid's efforts have resulted in the careful planting of over 7,500 trees of numerous variety covering over 80 acres and sustained by Alder Creek and several ponds. Sid is legendary in the small woodlands community forhis afforestation innovations, earning him the 2003 "Eastern Oregon Outstanding Small Woodlands Tree Farmer Award." He wholly understoodhisplantedforest would be enjoyed by generations yet to come. Though his achievements and deeds are numerous, Sid's most enduring accomplishment is being a model family man — a devoted husband of 65 years, a nurturing father to his seven children and progeny, and a trusted steadfast friend. A prolific writer with artistic talent, he filled journals with stories of his life. We groaned often to his spontaneous puns and his spirited and endearing sense of humor. Be it fishing, hunting or planting of trees, there are no shortage of"Sid stories" tobe shared among family and friends. His reach throughout Eastern Oregon is immeasurable. He lived well for a long time and will be greatly missed. Sid is survived by his wife, Nancy Kerr Johnson his two brothers, Kenneth Johnson and Kevin iTiml Johnson; his cousins, Bonny Hall and Jack O'Brien; seven children: Jean Johnson, Sigrid Johnson and her husband, Jeff Givens, Sid "John" Johnson and his wife, Debbie, Mark Johnson and his wife, Heather, Kelly Johnson and his wife, Denise, Shannon Moon and her husband, Bob, and Tamara Perensovich and her husband, Gary. Sid and Nancy have 20 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.

Serving Baker County since 1870

EDITORIAL

or vo ers Election season is upon us, and ballots for the May

20 primary will be mailed April 30. Fortunately, voters will have multiple opportunities not only to hear from the candidates but also to pose questions themselves. Two candidate forums are scheduled. On April 15, candidates for two positions on the Baker County Board of Commissioners are invited to attend a forum sponsored by the Baker County Republican Party at 6 p.m. at The Sunridge Inn. And onApril 28 the local chapter of the American Association of University Women and the Baker City Herald are sponsoring a forum that will include both county commission candidates and candidates for the Baker County Clerk's position. That forum will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Baker High School commons, 2500 E St. And the Herald will be publishing a voters guide in late April. All that said, there's not much reason for voters to get educated if they won't be able to vote. That's exactly the situation that confronts Baker County voters who are not registered as Republicans. And it's the reason we endorse the proposal to make the county commission positions nonpartisan (voters might get to decide on that in November). All five county commission candidates are Republicans — incumbent Fred Warner Jr. is running against Bill Harvey for the county commission chairman spot, and incumbent Mark Bennett is vying against Dick Fleming and Gene Stackle for position 2. Because Oregon has a closed primary system, only registered Republicans will have the two county commission races listed on their ballot. (The clerk's position is already nonpartisan.) By the state's most recent count, taken about a m onth ago, registered Republicans make up 47 percent of Baker County's voters — 4,746 out of 10,062. In other words, a maximum of 47 percent of the county's electorate (presuming 100 percent turnout by registered Republicans) might choose two of three county commissioners. Were those positions nonpartisan, all voters would have a say. Voters who aren't registered Republicans but who would like to cast a vote for the two county commission races will have to temporarily change their registration status online at https%/ecure.sos.state. or.us/orestar/vr/showVoterSearch.do. The deadline to change your registration, or to register to vote if you haven't done so, is April 29. Voters can revert to their former registration status aker the election.

I was in a Boise hotel the first weekend of spring break, watching my two younger kids frolic in the swimming pool with half a dozen others, when I realized that none of these children was alive on Sept. 11, 2001. This thought struck me with some force. At least one of the swimmers looked to me to be 11, although he might be a precociously tall 9 or 10. But I'm as sure as I can be, without getting a look at boy's birth certificate, that he isn't as old as 12V2.

Time, of course, gets away from us no matter how closely we think w e're tracking itsprogress. It seems to me, though, that this somehow fiightening accumulation ofhours and days and months never feels as inevitable as when we measure it by some epochal but ever-receding event such as the terrorist attacks of2001. As I relaxed in the tropical atmosphere of the swimming pool room I wondered whether the post9/11generation,asrepresented by the group splashing the deck

Your views Why change a winning formula? Re-elect Warner

T e ost-

Write a letter

I'veoften heard itsaid,"Never change a winning team." To that I say,"amen." During my eight years of service on the Baker City Council, I've watched Fred Warner balance budgets and maintain essential services despite dwindling resources, stand eye-to-eye with governmentalregulators,and leverage Baker County dollars to complete much needed road projects. I've seen him work to achieve consensus and solutions that benefit all Baker County residents, not just a select few. He has put aside any personal bias and represented our citizens well. Change awinning game? Not me. I'm voting for Fred Warner Jr. for Baker County Commission Chair. Please join me. Dennis Dorrah Baker City

Warner is a proven leader and consensus builder As a longtime resident and former Baker City Manager, I want to give my perspective on the Baker County Commission Chair race. Commissioner Fred Warner is a proven leader, a consensus builder and someone who can get the job done. Far too often, we have seen our local governments struggle with conflict, spending their time arguing and not being productive. Not so with the county government under Fred's watch. Instead, Fred has moved the county forward, maintaining strong public safetydepartments despite declining revenue, and leveraging funds to complete much needed transportation projects. Iw asespecially excited tothesee the county complete the Event Center without having to use large amounts of taxpayer dollars. In my experience, you don't want toreplace successfulleadership with unproven promises. That's why I am voting for Fred Warner Jr. for Baker County Commission Chair. I hope you will do the same.

years. My late husband, Vernon Knapp, and I have been active in fighting the good fi ghtand Iknow what theproblems are. We need leaders like Fred to join with the citizens to fight for Baker County and turn the tide of overregulation and environmental gridlock. Fred worked very hard on the Travel Management Plan and pushed for it to be withdrawn. He worked long and hard on the Snow Basin project and stuck through the comments and litigation. W e are logging as a result. Fredspearheaded the delegation going to Washington, D.C., and gained time for Ash Grove to remain open and viable. Imagine what would happen to Baker County if we lost Ash Grove. Fred knows better than most the importanceofwaterissuesto agriculture, timber and mining. Fred knows the importance of weed control. This is not a 40-hours-a-week job. The Commission chair is county administrator;dealswith budgets,day-to-day decisions; is in charge of planning processes; is a major spokesman for Baker County; head of public health; and the lead on Coordinated Care Organization for the county. Fred hasto evaluate allthedepartments of the county, write grants, work with economic development and tourism. He has tried to consolidate services, saves taxpayer money and is more efficient for the citizens. Alice Knapp Baker City

succession, greater evapotranspiration, superior wildlife habitat and improved and diversified lumber supplies. There is, however, something that worked in the past on such a scale. Homesteading, including the Timber Culture Act, was how this area was transformed by pioneers. In the current situation, the government would bundle conditions related to a viable ecology with the grant ofland. Apart &om the specified conditions, the recipients would be free to use the land, or sell it or its products.Such divestituresare common in emerging nations, notably Vietnam,where itisreferred toas "equitization" rather than"privatization." Until the details of such a plan can be worked out or rejected, it would be best notto close any forestroads and to encourage their use so that they don't close up. These are mostly, I believe, logging roads and access areas needing, for the most part, restoration rather than conservation.

Which is to say, to understand them incompletely. I was born in 1970, so I have no personal memory of any of the trio oflandmark assassinations of the 1960s — John F. Kennedy in 1963, and MartinLuther King Jr.and Robert Kennedy in 1968. And I arrived about 14 months after Neil Armstrong hopped off the ladderand made thefirsthuman footprint in the lunar dust. I have read a fair amount about each of those events, and probably I couldposta credible score on a pop quiz iso long as it's multiple choice). Yet my knowledge of them is necessarily limited. Sterile is the adjective thatoccurstom e. There is of course a gargantuan supply of data about the assassinations and the moon landing. Indeed,

unlike events of comparable significance from previous centuries, we even have video to supplement the millions of words. We can watch Zapruder's film, and see Armstrong's boot land with its eerie grace. But what I can't do is revive my memory and so relive my own feelings on those momentous days. I can, though, do that for Sept. 11, 2001. And it seems to me that the visceral nature ofthese personal memories have more power, more resonance, than a shelf crammed with detailed historical analyses. I can't find in any book a description of my emotions as I watched on the TV in the Herald's conference room as the second plane crashed into the skyscraper. I don't mean to suggest that there's anything unique about 9/11 in this regard. My children, and those they shared a swimming pool with for one afternoon, will learn about that day. Perhaps one or two will be so intrigued that thegl invest time and try to understand more fully a tragedy they didn't live through.

Probably that will be the case. JFKs death, for instance, has retained much of its status as an American icon even as the number of people who were alive that day continues to shrink.

I took a ride into the future the other day and it very nearly made me sick at my stomach. It was probably my most exciting bout of nausea, though. I called Richard Haynes when I learned that he had bought a Tesla Model S, the most advanced iand expensive) fully electric car sold in the U.S. Haynes not only graciously agreedtotellm eabout hiscar, he offered to take me and Herald photojournalist S. John Collins for a drive. Neither ofuswa sprepared for the Tesla' saccelerativethrust.Ifelt queasy for a few hours afterward. But my admiration for Elon Musk, the founder and president of Tesla Motors, has continued long after my guts settled down.

Musk, without the massive financialresourcesofan established car company, has built a vehicle that makes the most compelling case yet forthe notion thatelectricm otors might one day replace the internal combustion engine. Which isn't to say Tesla, or any other automaker, is even close to doing that. Cost is one issue. Haynes' car cost

$97,000. Nissan's all-electric Leaf is much lessexpensive — about $30,000 for the cheapest model — but its maximum range of about 84 miles is well below the Tesla's 306 iHaynes, who has put 2,400 miles on his Tesla since he bought it in December, said he can go about 275 miles on a

single charge). Clearly electric cars won't be anything but a novelty until someone can build one that combines the Leafs price and the Tesla's range. Based on what Musk has accomplished with his Tesla, I wouldn't be surprised ifhe gets there first. Jayson Jacoby is editor of the Baker City Herald.

Americans want the government to focus more on treatment rather than incarceration for individuals who use illegal narcotics accordingtoa recentpollby the Pew Research Center. The survey showed that 67 percentofthosepolled want more treatment for illegal narcotics users while just26 percent believe the government should concentrate on punishing offenders. The Pew Research Center is a non-partisan American think-tank that furnishes information on a wide array ofissues. The report showed that a treatment-first approach secured broad support across standard political battle lines. The report indicated that while Republicans appeared to be slightly less in favor of the treatment alternative than Democrats and independents, about half of those who aligned their political beliefs with the GOP expressed the view the government should apply resourcesmore to treatment than to incarceration. At the same time the surveyindicated that a large percentageofAmericans are comfortable with the trend to move away &om mandatory sentences for non-violent illegal narcotic lawbreakers. The report said that more than 40 states have already instituted some measures to ease drug mandates. The survey — concluded in February — also showed that support for the legalization of marijuana is climbing. While a majority appears to believe in less stringent sentences for non-violent drug crimes, Americans are still concerned about the challenge of drug abuse in

general. According to the survey, 32 percent of American viewed illegal drugs as acrisiswith 52percent labeling the issue a serious problem. The survey also showed that54 percent ofthose polled favor the legalization of marijuana while 42 percent are opposed.Yet, at the same time, Americans expressed fears regarding the potential impacts &om legalization of marijuana. More than half — 54 percent — conveyed the sentiment that marijuana legalization would lead to more underage individuals trying the narcotic. The illegal narcotic issue in America isn't going to go away any time soon. According to 2012 report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 23.9 million Americans aged 12 and older were current illegal drug users, with marijuana as the most frequently used illegal substance. Treatmentisa viable option but it isn't the only weapon in the arsenal to fight the war on drugs Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner Lo h ner said. "Treatment has its place but it is not an end-all. I believe there are a lotpeoplewho justneed tobe taken out of the society and put into a situation where they can no longer victimize the community," Lohner said. Lohner said an array of measures and theories must be utilized in the effort to curb illegal drug use.

But Scott was clearly the most compelling figure on Day 1 of a Masters marked by the absence of Tiger Woods, sitting out for the first time in his career after undergoing back surgery.

Shirtcliff said an initial arrest for a minor drug crime does not automatically mean prison time. Nor should it, he sard. "There is difference between prosecution in general and seeking prison. But you can't have people access treatment at the level necessary to do any good without prosecution." Shirtcliff said treatment is a viable method for some peoplebut for othersitoften fails. "I think for a lot of people it itreatmentl does work. For some no. It depends on the person and how committed they are.There area lotoffactors.I've seen a lotofsuccess over the years," he said. According to the Associated Press, the U.S. Sentencing Commission voted recently to shrink federal prison sentences for drug dealers. The commission, AP reported, believes the shift will slash federal prison population by more than 6,000 individuals over a five-year time span. The Pew Research Center survey noted that illegal drug use increased in the United States during the past decade mainly because of the climb in marijuana use. The number of individuals who use marijuana increased from 14.5 million in 2007 to 18.9 million in 2012. Shirtcliff — who briefed the Baker City Council earlier this year about the impact of legalizing marijuanasaid he still believes marijuana is a "gateway" drug for many people. Shirtcliff said that Baker County does not face any kind of illegal drug epidemic but he said there has been a noticeable boost locally in meth use recently. eWe have had an increase in meth cases. Not like it was a few years back," he said. Still Shirtcliff said he was watching the boost in meth cases carefully. "It is somewhat alarming. This meth thing is something I'm really watching. I don't want it to pop back up," he sald.

The annexation agreement the Langrells signed in 2005 does not mention water and sewer fees. City officials, though, say there are a host of other documents that show Richard Langrell not only understood he was to pay double water and sewer rates after annexation but that he had asked the city for those terms. On Wednesday Langrell said he is confident thatif the case does go to court, he will triumph. eWe will win, there is not a question about it," Langrell said. Langrell said he is asking for six years ofreimbursement because ifhe asked for a refund spanning 10 years he could notcollectattorney'sfees from the city when he is victorious.

'What 3asperHas Taught Me' I believe there are countless things we can learn from everyone, including our pets. They may think differently than us, but sometimes it takes a fresh perspective to understand things. My dog, Jasper, has taught me many lessons that I never expected to learn from a mere dog, like enjoying the little things, being cautious of my trust, and the power of judgment. I'm just a person and like everyone else I often take things for granted, usually I just look at the big picture and never take time to look at the small details that make the picture so beautiful. On the other hand though, my dog finds Ioy in the simplest of things, from a tied up sock to a pat on the head, maybe if humans were more like that we would all be happier. Another important lesson I learned from him is how fragile the concept of trust is. He is a dog, therefore he is ready to give everyone a chance to earn his

the Langrells stipulated the couple would pay city water and sewer rates in exchange for a properly tax waiver. The Langrells have not paid city properly taxes since their motel was annexed. 'The coverletterattached to the annexation agreement, the meeting minutes and the actual course of conduct between the Langrells, the other affected properly owners and the City all demonstrate that the actual agreement was that the properly ownerswould receive aproperly tax waiver and in exchange the would continue to pay out of city water and sewer rates," Smith wrote.''Why could the Langrells receive special treatment?" Smith's letter also stated that the city was never under any obligation to remove the Langrell's property from the rural fire protection district.

love, but he is only willing to give them his trust if they deserve it. Once you lose his trust it takes weeks, months, maybe even years to earn it back. Once you lose it and work at regaining it back, the level of trust will never be as much as it once was. Last and possibly the most important lesson he has taught me is to never judge a book by its cover. Jasper is a pitbull mix, and being labeled with "Pitbull" automatically makes him a predator to society. I beg to differ, because as his owner I can verify he is a gentle and intelligent dog. Paying attention to everyone around you can help you learn things you never would have known otherwise. If I hadn't adopted my dog, he never could have taught me all these lessons.

Four-WheelingInTheSnow

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Corey Younger likes to drive with flat tires. Actually he needs to drive with flat tires or else he'd get stuck before he'd gone half a mile. Also, Younger reaches his destination fasterifhegoes slower. Contradictions, it seems, are inherent in extreme four-wheeling. Younger is president of Locked and Loaded, a group of four-wheel drive enthusiasts based in Baker City. Last Sunday, Younger, who drives a heavily modified 2009 Jeep Wrangler, and five other club members and their families drove a route that no other vehicles, except for snowmobiles and snowmobile groomers, had plied since late fall. The group drove the Elkhorn Drive National Scenic Byway for 25 miles from Granite to Anthony Lakes Ski Area. In midsummer that's m aybe 45-minute a drive that even a Yugo with a balky carburetor could manage. But in early April the road is buried under 6feet of snow. A passenger car, and even most stock four-wheel drive rigs, would founder to their fenders almost immediately if they tried this trip.

Members of the Locked and Loaded four wheel drive group in Baker City drove from Granite to Anthony Lakes Ski Area on April 6. But this is the third straightyear a group of Locked and Loaded members has made the run, Younger said. The key to their success, he said, comes down to, or ratheron,theirtires. For regular driving on pavedroads,most tires are inflated to between 30 pounds per square inch ipsil and 50 psi. Younger said Locked and Loaded members make their snow trips with as little as 2 or 3 psi.

This does for a four-wheel drive rig what snowshoes do for your feet. Specifically, the tactic spreadsthe vehicle'sweight overamuch larger footprint, preventing it from sinking into the snow and turning a rugged Jeep into a4,000-pound,immovable snow sculpture. Younger said his Jeep's tires, which are 14 inches wide when fully inflated, spread to about 16 inches wide when they're aired down to 2 or 3 psi.

'This is all about flotation," he said.c You stay on top of the snow rather than digin." Preparinga rigfor a trip in deep snow isn't quite so simpleasletting most ofthe air whistle out of the tires, though. Younger said vehicles also needtiresatleast33inches tall — most stock SUVs, by comparison, come from the factorywith tires28 to 32 inches tall. See4-WheeIIPrfge2B

Facemask. Check. Box call. Check. Binocular. Check. It's that time of year again, when turkeys gobble and strut and hens get the butterflies. Literally. I've seen them chase and eat butterflies. W hile the females leap for Lepidoptera,the toms getall frustrated and their snoods and wattles turn red. They11 run a mile if they think they can pick up another hen for the harem. That's what we dream the night before opening day anyway. According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon turkey hunters tagged an estimated 3,732 toms in last year's spring season. Once again, the unit that produced the most turkeys was the Melrose with 439 birds and anaverage 3.02 days ofhunter efFort,0.46birdsper hunter and 0.15 birds per hunter day. When looking for a place to hunt, Mikal Moore, the Pacific Northwest biologist for the National Wild Turkey Federation, recommends that hunters think in terms of habitattypes and recent events. She recommends hunters keep track of places where forest fires wiped out the brush and burned out timber to open up the understory. cThe turkeys like those kinds of places and I like them too,because itm akes itsoeasy to see the sign,"M oore says. "I walk out there in the burn and I can see the droppings, the tracks, the wing marks. It's turkey hunting for dummies." Two of the top 10 Oregon turkey units are in Northeast Oregon: Mount Emily and Ukiah. Those units in that northeast corner have less acreage, though. It is good habitat; it just doesn't show as much productivity because there is not as much ground to hunt. Also, this corner of the state is farther away from Portland, so it gets less attention. That's a good thing. SeeTurkeyslPrfge 2B

Grantyoung of La Grande hefts a large tom turkey. Wild turkeys will move up to 15 miles from their winter grounds to breeding areas. Scouting can locate birds and improve success. This year's youth turkey hunt runs from April 12-1 3, followed by the general season April 15. Each young hunter must be accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old.

If you listen to me I'd have you buying a new gun every week. BUT... I just went on Pro-stafF with Crosman and am testing a couple of their guns. This week let's talk about their Marauder air rifle, which I guess is actually made by Benjamin. If you haven't shot an air gnn in 80 or ',s BASE CAMP 00years,getready to be surprised. They 't ~ have advanced light TQM CLAYCQMB years. They are twice as powerful and accurate. In talking to Chip at Crosman he said that he gets a 1-inch group at 50 yards. They've got some Pro-stafF guys over in California turkey hunting right now as I type. The Marauder is charged by compressed air. Benjamin manufacturers an air tank that you have to take to a scuba diving shop and have them fill with air. You can also fill them with nitrogen but it's more expensive. You then attach a hose to the tank and charge your gun. On bottom of your gunstock you will see a gauge that tells you the pressure. If it gets over 3,000 pounds per square inch ipsil it goes into the red line. Of course after the pressure drops too much, somewhere below 1,900 psi, it will just lob pellets, but yesterday when my wife and I were whistle pig hunting I was still zipping them at 1,000 psi at close range. The gun has a detachable clip that holds 10 pellets, which greatly eases the loading procedures. If you have trouble figuring out the clip I found a helpful video on YouTube. Mine came with a Center Point 4-16 illuminated reticle scope. Speaking of scopes, for air rifles you must buy a scope specifically made for air rifles. A regular scope won't work on them. Since you'll be hunting small game you'll want a high-magnification scope. Experiment with pellets to see which one is the most accurate in your gun. There are hunting and target pellets available. Try a few different pellets to see which ones work best for you but I've been shooting the Premier Ultra Magnum Hunting Pellet. If you're a trigger nut, they come with an adjustable trigger for pull, position and transition. I believe the pull is 3 pounds. So now we're set. Let's go hunting. Katy and I took ours out whistle pig hunting the other day and had a ball. Of course it's not as loud as a .22 so they don't seem to spook as bad. I was able in less than 15 minutes to get a shot at five at one hole. I killed four ione rolled back in the hole) and missed one. The day before I whacked three ofF of one hole so I think it spooks them less than a.22. It's a fun little gun to shoot and only weighs 7.3 pounds. It has sling eyelets so you can attach a sling which would be handy. I have slings on pretty much all of my guns not only to aid in carrying but also to stabilize me when shooting. On this rifle I'm going to put on one of my LimbSaver slings. Itshootsiaccording to which pellets)up to 1,000 feetper secondifpsl.I'veshotfasterair gunsbuta lotofthose sacrifice speed for accuracy. 1,000 fps is plenty fast. I think in some cases, tobe ableto say thatthey have thefastestpelletgun on the market, some manufacturers have sacrificed accuracy. Remember, accuracy always trumps speed. I couldn't believe how it zapped the WPs. It will be a fun gun to hunt small game with and for situations where you can't make a lot of noise when you need to get ridofavarmint. '

Teeing It Up, On Skis

4-WHEEL Continued from Page 1B Other common modifications for Locked and Loaded members include:

Locking differentials for both thefront and rear tires A locking differential"locker" in ofF-road parlance, hence the club's name, Locked and Loaded — basically gives a vehicle true four-wheel drive. In an SUV or pickup truck without lockers — what's known as an "open differential" — power from the engine will go to whichever tire, &ont and rear, has the least traction. For instance, if the right reartireofa vehicle without a locker gets into a rut, and the left rear tire is on solid ground, all or most of the power will go to tire in the rut. Which means, most likely, that you're stuck. And that you'll stay that way unless you can give the stuck tire some tract ion. In efFect, a four-wheel rig with open difFerentials can be rendered a two-wheel driverig under the sorts ofconditions driversoften encounter in rough terrain. A roadcovered with 6 feet of snow being an example. A locker, as its name implies, mechanically locks both tires to the differential, so that each tire getspower regardlessoftraction. In fact, a rig with lockers front and rear, like Younger's Jeep, can keep moving even if one tire in the front and one in the rear is up in the air, not touching the ground at all. %hich can happen when, to name one situation, you're crossing a deep ditch or ravine.) Lockersare vitalin deep snow, Younger said, because thegl maintain progress even if one tire sinks into a patch of soft snow.

Lower gears Owners can accomplish this in either of two ways: • By replacing the gears in the difFerentials • By replacing the gears in the transfercase ithedevice thatdistributes,or transfers, the engine's power between the front and rear axles) In either case the goal is the same: Lower gears allow a vehicleto creep along ata slower speed without stalling. Younger swapped the stock gears in his Jeep's differentials to oneswith a ratio of 4.88 to 1.In gearing terms the higher the first number the lower the gearing and the slower a vehicle can go without stalling. Most stock vehicles have differential gears between 3:1 and 4:1. Lower-geared rigs like

By letting most of the air out of their tires, and creeping along in low gear, Jeeps can "float" over deep snow. the ones Younger and other Locked and Loaded members own can move at 1 mph or slower without stalling. Which brings up the other contradiction mentioned above: In extreme fourwheeling, slower is almost always better. 'Very slow — sometimes almost unbearably slow," Younger said with a laugh. On topofdeep snow, going slow reduces the chances that a tire will spin and thus dig in. When crossing boulder fields, a placid paceprevents the vehicle from slamming into rocks, which is hard on the rig — and on passengers. And speaking of slamming — thoselower tire pressures help smooth the ride, too. Dependingon the diameter of the wheel and the size of the tire, some owners might need special "beadlock" wheels that help prevent aseverely deflated tire from coming ofF the wheel.

Locked and Loaded's Monthly Off-Road Runs Younger said the club schedulesa large group trip at least once a month. Many members, though, go out in smaller groups most weekends — "never go alone," he said. The Granite-to-Anthony Lakes trip happens in April, rather than earlier, for two reasons, he said. First, the club waits until snowmobilers have stopped groomingthatroute,to avoid potential conflicts. Second, by spring the snow tends to consolidate. Not even the most capable Jeep can go through several feetofloose,dry powder snow. "The run is possible because in the spring the snow becomes real dense," Youngersaid."It'sbestto go in the morning, and to go on a cool day when the snow doesn't gettoo soft." Regardless, he said, snow

When the snow is dense, drivers can sometimes keep theirfeetofFthe accelerator and let their vehicles idle along. But if the snow is powdery, drivers might have to speed up to make it through, Younger said.

Besides Jeeps, popular makes include Toyotas and Suzuki Samurais. The club's monthly runs are always family activities — most members bring their kids along, Younger said. And they often combine four-wheeling without other activities, such as picking mushrooms. He said new members are always welcome; if you're interested you can call Younger at 541-524-1863.

Creek Bridge indicate hatchery fish have been entering the river in steady numbers over the last few weeks. Fish have started arriving at the hatchery facility on Little Sheep Creek which means fish are also available in Big Sheep Creek along the public access areas. Although fishing has been excellent, recent warm weather may cause high and turbid river flows in the Imnaha. Big Sheep Creek may be the better option when flows are high on the Imnaha. Anglers can find success on spinners, bait and other lures. Fly anglers will be able to find success swinging flies and nymphing. MORGAN LAKE Closed to fishing until April 26. WALLOWA LAKE Anglershave been finding some kokanee and holdover rainbow trout. Two anglers reported catching their limit of 20 kokanee per angler by jigging on the south end ofthelake.As spring progresses and water temperatures warm catch rates will improve. WALLOWA RIVER Although flows have fluctuated recently, the river is currently fishableand anglers have been fi nding

Fish are currently distributed throughout the system and are available up to the fishing boundary at Trout Creek near Enterprise. Remember, 60 percent of the returning steelhead will head for Wallowa Hatchery in Enterprise so don't be airaid to fish above the Big Canyon Facility. Fishing will continuetoproduce solid catch rates until high flows render the river unfishable, or closing of the fishery on April 15. Trout season opens May 24; however, fishing for mountain whitefish is open with the steelhead season and will produce throughout the spring. Anglers can target whitefish using a variety oflight tackle, and fly anglers can find success using beaded nymphs in runs and pools. Adding a small fly underneath steelhead gear to attract whitefish can be a great way to keep young anglers iand some older anglersl entertained while looking for that bigger catch.

President Barack Obama signed two executive actions, which will bar federal contractorsfrom retaliating against employees for comparingsalariesand require contractors toreportcompensationdata to the government by gender and race. At the same time, Democratic lawmakers launched an assault on Republicans in Congressforopposing legislation that would expand measures to prevent genderbased pay discrimination nationwide. That bill, the Paycheck Fairness Act, is expected to fail a procedural vote Wednesday in the Senate. "Republicans in Congress have beengumming up the works," Obama said Tuesday.'They've been blocking progress." Byreviving a familiar line of attack finm the 2012 campaign — that Republicans ate waging a"war on women" — the president and fellow Democrats aim to capitalize on the party's longstandingedgeamong women voters in this fall's elections for contml of Congress. They also hope to force Republicansto oppose popular

Motivating women to come to the polls in November could be pivotal in Senate races in the South, where embattled female incumbents Kay Hagan, D-N.C., and Mary Landrieu, D-La., facetough re-elections. A strong women's turnout also would help Democratic candidates Michelle Nunn in Georgia and Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky, both seeking Senate seats now held by Republicans.

"Pay equity is a great issue iforDemocrats) because women now are a majority of voters and they're politically active,"Westsaid. Nathan Gonzales, deputy editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report, noted that Democrats tend to attract single and minority women, while married women tend to trend Republican. But he was skeptical that it would make the difference in close races, whether or not a woman was running. 'The election is not going to be about this one issue," he said.

our circulatory system plays a central role in health, yet is rarely talked about. Other body systems depend on efficient circulation to deliver nutrients, immune protection and remove wastes. Your body's circulatory system is responsible for delivering nulrients and many other factors to every cell, while removing numerous waste materials. Like a car with a cloggedfuelline orexhaust system, you will lurch down theroad oflifewith poor circulation. Poor circulation often underlies the diseases of aging, but usually goes unnoticed. The function of every cell in your body is influenced by the quality of circulation it receives. A cell thatisstressed because of poor circulation will function poorly, or not at all. We know agreatdeal about what creates healthy brain cells for example or heart cells, but what if the nutrients never arrive, or the wastes never removed? Your circulatory system is comprised of two main systems: blood and lymphatic. The more familiar blood system is comprised oftheheart,arteries and veins. The other, less familiar system is the lymphatic. The lymphatic system drains the tissues of fluid and moves them back toward the heart, likeguttersand storm drains prevent streets from flooding. While a drainage system may not seem flashy, you can imagine how important this is without proper drainage. Cells drown in backed up wastes. This causes edema or lymphadenopathyand the attendantpressure,pain,tissue death and swelling. Even a small decrease in efficiency of this system causes stress to the cells. Stressed cells work poorly, which translates to poor health. The second major function of the lymphatic system is immunity. Lymph nodes, like security check points, are stationed along the lymph vessels. Nodes are found throughout the body in strategic locations to intercept and neutralize local infections. For example, nodes in your neck may become enlarged and tender when you get an ear infection. The lymphatic system has no heart like the blood system, so relies on one-way valves and muscles to move fluid through the system. Muscle contractions squeeze the lymphatic vessel and the one-way valve assures fluid movement in the right direction. SeeCirculation / Fbge 2C

According to the study, counties in the South and those with large Native American populations have higher rates of smoking while counties in some western states, such as Utah, have much lower rates. Oregon's numbers hover near the nationalaverage ofabout 20 percent. Overall, cigarette smoking rates declined between 1996 and 2012. Counties with higher income levels saw a higher rate of decline. The number of people who smoke cigarettes daily has declined slightly in Baker and Union counties. In 2012, daily smoking in Baker County was at 19 percent, down from 23 percent in 1996.

The University of Washington's study released on March 24 involved 4.7 million adults ages 18 and older who selfreported cigarette smoking data during telephone surveys operated by state health departments in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1996 to 201 2. During the phone interview, responders who said they had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their life were asked, "Do you now smoke cigarettes every day, some days or not at all?" The study divided those answers into three categories: non-smoking, daily smoking and total cigarette prevalence. The total cigarette prevalence category incorporated daily smokers and those who smoke occasionally. In Oregon, 20 percent of responders said they smoke while only 14 percent said they smoke daily. In Northeast Oregon, the number of people who participated in the phone survey per year varied greatly with a high of 110 people in Union County in 2005 and a low of zero participation in Wallowa County for the past five years. In Union County13 males and 35 females participated in 2012. Baker County had 15 males and 20 females. By contrast, Clackamas County had 181 males and 286 females.

A fair amount of conversation about e-cigarettes has involved people using them in efforts to quit smoking. Researchers say the evidence for that has been "unconvincing," and they suggest that regulations should forbid such claims until there is supporting research. In a letter last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine, researchers from the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education and the Department of Medicine at the University of CaliforniaSan Francisco noted that e-cigarettes are"aggressively promoted as smoking cessation aids." Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are battery-operated; they heat substances that usually include nicotine to deliver a vapor for inhalation that often also contains flavors. Unlike conventional cigarettes, there's no tar or carbon monoxide. Researchers surveyed 949 smokers and found that use of e-cigarettes at the start of the study did not predict quitting a year later. And among those who smoked at the start and a year later, use of e-cigarettes was "not associated with a change in cigarette consumption." "Regulations should prohibit advertising, claiming or suggesting that e-cigarettes are effective smoking cessation devices until claims are supported by scientific evidence," wrote the researchers, Rachel Grana, Lucy Popova and Pamela Ling. — Los Angeles Times

The average age of both groups was in the 50s.

Sequencing also promises torevealdrug resistance and how virulent a germ is more quickly than today's tests, and track how it's spreading from one person to another through tiny genetic changes that act like footprints. Key to making it work is the computing power of a massivefederaldatabase being used to store the gene maps, said Duncan MacCannell, the CDC's senior adviserforbioinformatics. It's one thing to analyze bacterial DNA culled &om a few dozen sick people during an outbreak, and another to compare samples &om thousands. Until recently, the CDC didn't have the"tools and approaches to make sense of this much data," he said.

"And without question the veterans carry a mighty voice." Veterans groups predict that medical marijuana will become available soon in more states, including Florida, where a vote is set for November.

Treadmill desks. At Salo, a finance, accounting and human resources sta5ng firm based in Minneapolis, the culture is one of movement intended to fuelcreativity and productivity. Workers pace on treadmills while talking on the phone or sorting through emails. Others stand at their desksorsiton exercise balls. A recent study by the University of Minnesota found that walking while working might improve not only an employee's health, but also boost output. The study, conducted by Avner BenNer, a professor of work and organizations at the Carlson School of Management, followed about 40 employees of a local financial services company who regularly used treadmills instead of chairs. Workers had a computer, a phone and writing space on a desk in frontofa treadmill settogo no fasterthan 2 miles per hour. Ben-Ner and his co-authors studied them for a year. What they found was that treadmills increased productivity by nearly 10 percent."That's a substantial increase," Ben-Ner said. Workers were not forced, like rowers in a Roman war galley, to walk all day. Walking on the treadmill was voluntary — as was standingattheirdesk orsitting on an exercise ball. Still, even though workers could sit all day if they wished, most did not. Moving, Ben-Ner said, is goodforwork. Especially for

movement and fitness at the company, said founders Amy Langer and John Folkestad. They had seen an article by Dr. James Levine at Mayo and, as Langer said, "stalked him" in an effort to get treadmill desks like the ones he used. Instead, in 2008, they became part ofhis study. The treadmills and other equipment, like wirelessheadsets to encourage movement, have been a featureatSalo eversince. While everyone in the office wears business attire, running shoes are at every desk. There is even a conference room with four treadmills for "walking meetings."

Whether the culture attracts employees who like to constantly move or whether the active environm ent created more energetic workers isn't really clear, Langer said."This for us is not abnormal," she said, pointing to workers moving and pacing all over Salo's sun-filled main area. Salo has about 55 employees in its Minneapolis office; in all, the company has about 330 consultants working all over the Twin Cities. Salo has another office in Chicago. Folkestadsaid thatas Salo looks to expand into new space, they are considering putting a treadmill at every workstation.

lah-grownorgans The Associated Press

LONDON — In a north London hospital, scientists are growing noses, ears and blood vessels in a bold attempt to make body parts in the laboratory. It's far from the only lab in the world that is pursuing the futuristic idea of growing organs for transplant. But the London work was showcased Tuesday as Mayor Boris Johnson announced a plan to attractmore labsto do cutting-edge health and science research in the area. While only a handful of patients have receivedthe British lab-made organs so far — including tear ducts, bloodvesselsandwindpipes — researchers hope they will soon beable totransplant m ore types ofbody parts into patients, including what would be the world's first nose made partly &om stem cells. "It's like making a cake," said Alexander Seifalian at University College London, the scientistleading the effort.'We just use a different kind of oven." British authorities have invested nearly $6.7 million in the plan to stimulate research in the London-OxfordCambridge area. It aims to attractcompanies to thearea tofostercollaboration and promote research and manufacturing. A major center for biological research will open in London next year. University College London

is a partner in the campaign. During a recent visit to his lab there, Seifalian showed otf a sophisticated machine used to make molds fiom a polymer material forvariousorgans. Last year, he and his team used that material to mold a nose for a British man who lost his to cancer. Then they added a salt and sugar solution to the mold to mimic the somewhat sponge-like texture of a natural nose. Stem cells were taken fiom the patient's fat and grown in the lab for two weeks before being used to coverthenose scaffold. Seifalian said he and his team arewaiting forapproval &om regulatory authoritiesto transfer the nose onto the patient's face but couldn't say when that might happen. The polymer material Seifalianuses forhisorgan scaffolds has been patented and he'salso applied for patents fortheirblood vessels,tear ducts and windpipes. He and his team are creating other organs including coronary arteries and ears.Later this year, a trial is scheduled to start in India and London to testlab-made earsfor people born without them. "Ears are harder to make than noses because you have to get all the contours right and the skin is pulled tight so you see its entire structure," said Dr. Michelle GriSn, a plastic surgeon who has made dozens of ears and noses in Seifalian's lab.
