• Five candidates for Baker County Commission gathered at a GOPsponsored forum Tuesday evening in Baker City

By Pat Caldwell pcaldwell©bakercityherald.com

While the Baker County Commission Republican candidates forum Tuesday night didn't deliver any dramatic plot points, the event did produceplenty ofstraightforward questions fiom the large crowd. At leastinitially, the event,

sponsored by the Baker County Republicans, summoned a standing-room-only crowd to the Sunridge to hear the five candidates. Bill Harveyis challenging three-term incumbent Fred Warner Jr. for commission chairman, the lone full-time position on the three-member board.

Incumbent Mark Bennett, who was appointed to his position last spring after Carl Stiff resignedforhealth reasons, has drawn two challengers: Gene Stackle and Dick Flemmg. W arner said he believes honest communication with voters is essential. He also emphasized that successful

Asian pear trees are in loaded with blossoms at Eagle Creek Orchard near Richland. But not every flower results in fruit — Rob Cordtz can tell by looking that the flower with a brown center (right) isn't viable, but the one just to the left appears healthy. Also, the fruit must be thinned to allow room to grow and ensure the limbs don't break from a heavy load.

A year ago Rob and Linda Cordtz spent all night watching the temperature plummet in their fruit orchard and trying everyfrostprotection measure they had to save the harvest. The cold won, resulting in a nearly 100 percent loss. A year later to the day — April 15 — the couple

$30,000.

'That made it doable," Rob says. The new system, called AgHeat, was developed by a fruit farmer in Hood River. It is fueled by propane insteadofdiesel. Pyramid-shaped heatersareplaced strategically around the five-acre orchard, and are fired up when thetemperature drops to the danger zone of 28 degrees. An alarm wakes Rob and Lindawhen the temperature hits 29 degrees. Even 30 minutes at 28 degreescan kill10 percent of the blossoms, Rob says. The heaters quickly warm the air.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 16, 1964 The Baker County LivestockAssociation has officially refused to circulate petitions that would put the sales tax constitutional amendment supported by the Oregon AgriculturalTax Association on the November ballot. The action came after Keating rancher Bob Steward, member of the organization's taxation committee, told the cattlemen last night the measure could pave the way for about a 23 percent increase in property taxes in Baker County. Steward, seeking the Democratic nomination for State Senator from District16, repeated his speech to the cattlemen last night as he had delivered it the night before to the Baker County Farm Bureau. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 17, 1989 Improvements on Ore. 86 at Flagstaff Hill, the next step in construction of the Oregon Trail National Monument, will be made this year, according to Rep. Mike Nelson. It is expected this will help to leverage the next round of federal dollars from Congress. Nelson metwith Highway Division officialsWednesday and the director of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Bob Bothman, on Thursday, to seek funding for construction this year. Bothman assured Nelson Friday that he had given instructions to construct the alterations on Ore. 86 this year. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 16, 2004 Elizabeth Parker copied her final tax forms at the Baker County Library at 7 o'clockThursday evening. At 10 p.m., she leaned across the counter at the Haines Post Office and, with a sigh of relief, slipped her tax return to Postmaster Dotty Miles. Parker, who lives in Baker City, has made the 20-mile trip to Haines on April15 at least twice before. ... Haines is the only Baker County post office open until midnight on April 15 to help those procrastinators in need of a proper postmark. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 19, 2013 Darby LaHaug, a sixth-grader from North Powder, drew the winning design in the Baker County Chamber of Commerce's annual Design the Miner button contest. Darby's button design also will be used on posters, programs and advertisements for the 2013 Miners Jubilee, set for July 19-21.

The Baker County Health Department has confirmed two recent cases of chicken pox, both students at a local school. Alicia Hills, nursing supervisor at the Baker County Health Department, declined to name the school, but she saidschoolofficialsreported the cases to the Health Department about two weeks ago.

istered between the fourth and fifth birthdays, Hills said, although the booster can be given at any age. As with all vaccines, the chicken pox inoculationis not 100 percent effective, Hills said. Hills said she also has received reportsofas many as four other cases of chicken pox, but none has been confirmed. Chicken pox has been rare in Baker County since the vaccination became available more than a decade ago. Hills said there were a few suspectedcases a couple ofyears ago,but none was confirmed. Although Oregon doesn't require counties to report chicken pox cases to the state, as is the case with some other communicable diseases such as measles and whooping cough, Hills said she needs to know about local

cases so she can make sure people who might have been exposed to the virus understand their vaccination options. Children who have been vaccinated, or adults who have had chicken pox, probablydon'tneed to be inoculated, she said, although even some adults who had chicken pox as a child might not have developed an immunity to the virus. People who haven't had the vaccination, or who have never had chicken pox, can get the vaccination within threedays ofpossible exposure to the virus and still reduce their chances of being infected, Hills said. She recommends anyone with questions about chicken pox, or about vaccine-preventable diseases in general, call the Health Department at 541-523-8211.

Quilting 8 Fun Times 2160 Colorado Avenue (503)-302-8419 Shop Open: Tuesday thru Saturday • 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Evening classes by request Judy Logsdon's Story: How I got started in the Quilting World! I grew up with a mom who was a very talented dressmaker, she sewed all my dresses! My mom would go to JC Penney's and see a dress on the rack, buy fabric, go home and make it! I, howeveryhated sewing! I made a skirt in 7th grade sewing class and used scotch tape on the hems! As the years passed, I began to see beautiful Quilts in my travels, and I thought I would like to learn how to make a quilt some day! Now this was a stretch considering I did not like to sew, nor did I have a sewing machine! My best friend is a very talented quilter, she took me by the hand and we had Judy's first quilt class! one of many hundreds!!! She explained to me what the "Quilt World" was like and what tools I needed to be in this "World" I was very excited to enter this "World". It was kn to see that you could take a piece of fabric cut it all up and sew it back together and make a beautiful quilt. It took me many quilts to feel I like was a "Quilter" Now 17 years later not only am I a quilter, I'm a quilting teacher, quilt appraiser and a quilt shop owner! And I own a unique place where you can enjoy quilting too! I have an upstairs classroom and a downstairs classroom; I rent these two rooms for quilting classes, scrapbook groups, Home School Programs or meetings. Another buildings is the quilt shop. I sell a small amount of fabric and tools you need in the "Quilt World" I teach beginning quilters as well as long time quilters. Classes include: block of the month, table runners, wall hangings, purses and anything else we can think of that we want to make. This is a dream come true for me! We are so blessed to have this place! I hope that you will make the time to come and see for your self what we're all about! I watched the movie "Field of Dreams" In the movie Kevin Costner says " If you build it they will come" I have built it and I hope you come!

EDITORIAL

over some CB C. We're not convinced that the federal government's rounduplastweek ofa N evada rancher's cattle,an operation carried out with guns and helicopters, is the best way to resolve this two-decades-old dispute. Although hundreds of people who support rancher Cliven Bundy and his family showed up to protest the cattle roundup, we don't believe the situation, which has more to do with cattle, public land grazing policy and an endangered species of tortoise than it does with protecting the public, warranted such aggressive tactics. Bundy's situation isn't a case study in private property rights. The land where his 900 cattle have been grazing belongs to the public and is managed

by the BLM. In 1993 the agency canceled Bundy's grazing privileges because, oKcials said, cattle were harming habitat for the endangered desert tortoise. Bundy challenged the BLM's decision and he continued to allow his cattle to graze, without permits, on public land. Back then Bundy also ceased paying his grazing fees, and BLM oKcials say he's racked up

a bill of about $1.2 million. In 1998 a federal judge ordered Bundy to remove his cattle &om the disputed public lands. Last year federal courts also said the BLM could round up Bundy's cattle. Fortunately the BLM, aker gathering about 400 of the 900 cattle the agency planned to corral, decided to give those animals back to Bundy last weekend. Although we don't think SWAT teams and stun guns, one of which was used to subdue one of Bundy's sons, are necessary to enforce the court order, neither should Bundy be allowed to indefinitely ignore federal laws that he doesn't like, but has failed to prevail against in court. The vast majority of ranchers, including many in Baker County, who graze cattle on public lands, pay their annual fees and otherwise follow the rules that have been in place since the 1930s. Bundy points out that his family has run cattle in the disputed area since the 19th century, but that's irrelevant — he has no title to the land. The cattle belong to him but the land doesn't. It's little diferent than a rancher arguing that because he once used the pasture that's now owned by a neighbor, that he's entitled to keep using that land, and without paying a fee. One possible solution to this conKct involves going back to its causes. The federal government should review the status of the desert tortoise. Considering Bundy has continued to graze his cattle on the tortoise's supposedly critical habitat for 20 years, it might be that canceling his grazing privileges was never necessary. Such a review could sow the seeds of a settlement. Ideally, Bundy will start paying grazing fees, as he used to, and as most ranchers do. Then the BLM can stop wasting money rounding up cattle that, whatever problems they might cause for tortoises, pose no proximate threat to our repub-

lic.

Your views Tired of federal regulations, I'm voting for Bill Harvey I'm ready for a change. I'm tired of spending all my time attending meetings. If I'm not in a meeting, I'm hopelessly buried in some 1,200page document trom our Forest Service or the BLM. I'm angered to attend meetings and repeatedly see our county meet the federal agencies with open arms. Come right on in, what can we do for you. Sure, we11 trade a road here or there, in exchange for short-term logging revenues. Sure a few grazing acres here or there, you got it. A few powerlines here or there, playing with a mythical percentage number that fell out of the sky. The USFS and BLM have delivered nearly 3,000 pages of documents since the beginning of 2014. What are they? Regulations, regulations,and more regulations, all in the name of management. These regulations have, and continue to stall the economic engine that once made Baker County a thriving center of commerce. Bill Harvey has my vote. A serious conservative approach to local control. Join me in supporting Bill. Wanda Ballard Baker City

election. Fred's manyyears of experience as a county commissioner have given him extensive knowledge of government in general and the inner workings of Baker Countyin particular. This knowledge has proven directly beneficial to the county's residents in many ways. One of Commissioner Warner's most significant accomplishments during his tenure has been facilitating the county's acquisition ofAnthony Lakes Ski Resort. That exchange certainly would not have occurred without Commissioner Warner's expertise. Anthony Lakes is a great asset to local residents and helps the county prosper in the winter months. Think whatAnthony Lakes brings to Baker County's economy: thousands of out-of-town visitors ifeeding our economy through hotels, restaurants, shops, gas stations, etc.l. How about what theskiresortdoesforourchildren:helping kids see the benefit of outdoor activities instead of electronics and allowing them to have quality time with fiiends and family. Without Commissioner Warner's expe-

rience as county commissioner we would have lost our winter playground. We should not have political parties. We should just vote for the right person. Thatis whyI ask allofyou to vote for Fred Warner based on his vision for Baker County's future and his past performance. Rick Pignone Pastgeneral manager,A nthony Lakes Ski Area Baker City

Warner has shown his commitmentto county Fred Warner's commitment to Baker Countyhas beencommendable duringhis tenure as our countycommissioner. His wil&gpess and vision to correct a failed business model, such as Anthony Lakes,is a testimony to the stmngleadership and energy that Fred has demonstrated duringhis service to our county. Fred continues to support Baker County's economy, such as logging on national forest lands. He was instrumentalin overturning the environmentai lawsuit that was previouslyblocking am ajorforestharvest.Baker County voters would do well to mall these successes thathave benefited our economy. Fred Warner has a dear vision ofwhat our county~ st o continue to gmwin positive duections. Pleasejoinus in supporling Fred Warner as the candidate who has the proven ability to serve all of Baker County's citizens. Bill and Kathy Mitchell Baker City

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial kom The (Bend) Bulletin: It has a long way to go to completion, but theproposed 2015 budget for the federal Bureau of Land Management contains good news for Central Oregon. The agency will increase spending on wild horse management, and it will continueitseffortstoim prove sage grouse habitat in an effort to forestall the bird's listing under the Endangered Species Act. Wild horses are a huge and growing problem for the BLM. Ever since the animals came under federal protection in 1971, the agency has struggled to find a way to check their population across 10 Western states, including Oregon. It has removedmore than 100,000 critters from the open range in just the last de-

cade,and today some 35,000 sitin pens across the West. Another 38,400 remain in the wild. W orse, according to a 2013reportby the National Academy of Science, the roundups may actually increase horse populations. The report recommends greater focus on controlling wild horse fertility and less on roundups as a way to solve the problem. The agency seeks to more than double its spending on fertility control, to $4.8 million in the coming year up trom $2 million in the current one. It had to do something. In fiscal year 2013, the BLM's complete wild horse management budget totaled more than

$71 million, and well over half — $46.2 million — went to the care and feeding

of captured animals. It's an unsustainablemodel thatisno good for animals and hasn't checked horse populations in any serious way. Controlling horse fertility is a logical step, meanwhile, despite critics who complain the animals shouldn't be exposed to the chemicals in equine birth control medications. Given that Americans insist on maintaining creatures whose historic claim on the land ended when they went extinct in the western hemisphere 12,000 or more years agoand were reintroduced by the Spanish in the 1500s — the idea that they're a nativespeciesisnonsensical,and controlling their population is vital to the health of the High Desert's environment.

MedicaiMarijuana Ilispensaries

TESTS

ciies an o sores • The moratoriums can only be in effect for one year, though PORTLAND (APl — At least 71 Oregon cities — including Baker City — have moratoriums on medical marijuana dispensaries, and more than 40 others are considering bans, according to the League of Oregon Cities and the Association of Oregon Counties. The Legislature allowed local governments to impose a one-year ban, if enacted by May 1. The law also gives local governments the ability to regulate when and where pot shops may operate. The League of Oregon Cities and the Association of Oregon Counties asked the Legislature to give local jurisdictions the power to outlaw dispensaries. The groups provided The Oregonian with the list of cities

but others just want more time to see how the stateregulated system works, saidRob Bovett,legal counsel for the Association of Oregon Counties. 'You have a mix of cities and counties that are definitely saying no and you also have quite a number saying, We don't know yet. We want time,"' Bovett said. Among the cities that have not imposed moratoriums are Portland, Bend and Eugene. Leland Berger, a Portland lawyer who advises medical marijuana businesses statewide, called the list of cities with moratoriums "more disappointing than surprising." He said he's encouraged by municipalities like Albany and Klamath Falls, where officials rejected moratoriums.

Many had been operating in a legal gray area. Several cities resisted the Legislature's action, some cit ing localcodesthat forbid business licenses forenterprisesthatviolate federal law. That set up the debate in 2014's legislative session, when local jurisdictions lobbiedforthe authority to outlawdispensariespermanently. The Legislature ultimately allowed them a year.

Harvey emphasized his recordofcreatingjobsasan independent businessman for more than 30 years. "I create jobs on a daily basis," Harvey said. Harvey said a major local concern is declining access to natural resources on public land. "Mining, grazing, timber — these are the things we've built on. It has been slowly eroding and taken away from us. Seems like we don't have a say any more," he said. While a host of issues were covered, key themes proved to bejobs,propertyrights,the rejuvenation of the region's natural resource industries, and questions regarding the power of thefederalgovernment. Fleming said in his opening statement that the region's diminishing core economic engines are a major concern, and he advocated a more pugnacious attitude by county government against federal overreach. He also said that a process he advocates called "coordination" would help county governments. aYou start ofFwith the premise the health, safety and welfare is under the direction of the county. You get the coordination going, getsome resources liberated," he said. Coordination is essentially a conceptthat appeals for stronger county government investment in the supervisionofforests,roadlessareas, minerals and other natural resource-based products on stateand federalland.

that all federal agencies recognize the authority of counties." Bennett said the continued prosperity of Ash Grove Cement Co.'s plant near Durkee is critical for the county's long-term success. He also said that ensuring the fiscal health of the county is crucial. Questions to the candidatesran thespectrum of key local and national conservative issues. One involves the recent standoff in Nevada between rancher Cliven Bundy and the BLM. Bundy doesn't recognize federal jurisdiction over public land where he hasgrazed hiscattlefor decades, and he also has failed to pay federal grazing fees since 1993, when the federal government canceled his grazing privileges to protect an endangered species of desert tortoise. The government asserts Bundy owes about $1 million in feesand recently decided to impound some of Bundy's cows. The dispute attracted a sizeable number of supportors to Bundy's camp. An armed standofFeruptedthat was finally defused when the BLM backed down and returned the cattle to Bundy. One member of theaudience asked the candidates what they, as commissioners, aregoing todo about federal "overreach." Warner said one way to counterfederalpower is through education and a determination to fight for what is right. aWe have found over the years with the Forest Service and BLM, they tend, when in doubt, to make up rules and regulations. We've been calling them out on that. The

problem we face is we need to do our homework to know when they are saying the wrong thing, in conjunction withstateandfederalleaders who will help empower us,"Warner said. Harvey said federal agencies in Baker County are "getting out ofhand" especiall y regarding Forest Service and BLM law enforcement on public lands. 'The sherifFis the highest authority in Baker County in law enforcement. Miners are gettingstopped constantly. We don't need this, we have our own county law enforcement personnel. I'm for shutting them out of here, I think we have enough people taking care of it already," he sald. "Overreach bothers me greatly," Fleming said. "That was one of my biggest concerns about the travel management plan. I think the commissioners need to be aware of thatpossibility and be willing and ready to butt heads when necessary." Stackle said he's seen evidenceoffederalpower going too far. "It's been my opportunity, pleasure and sometimes to my chagrin to work with the timber and mining community and I've seen that overreach first hand," he said. Bennett said one way to avoid overreach is by creating a viable dialogue with federal agencies. aWe need to continue to be engaged with agencies. On top of that we really need to be engaged with our federal ielectedl representatives and staterepresentatives because that is where the power is. We need to keep engaging at the local level and push back," he said.

McCauley had a triple, and Lakalyn Thomas a three-run home run. Baker scored five times in the first inning. Morgan Plumbtree's sacrifice fly, an RBI single by Koehler and a bases-loaded

The Bulldogs i8-2l banged out 11 hits, including eight forextra bases,to send the Hilanders packing. "Our bats continue to heat up and that's a good thing," said Baker coach Tim Smith. Baker hit for the cycle — single, double, triple and home run — to score four runs in the second inning. Austin Folkman opened the inning with a double and scoredon a triple by Caleb Custer. Custer then scored on a single by Chace Dixon. One out later, Dixon scored when Kyle Srack slugged a two-run homer to right-centerfield. Then, with Baker leading 6-2 in the fifth, Burns pulled to within 6-5 on a home run off the right field foul pole. Srack, who was pitching in relief of starter Mason Cline,

• Local company wins grand champion honors for new product ForWesCom News Service

Howard Elmer, a Grande Ronde Valley farmer who heads up a family meat processing business called Pigtail Pork, has an inquisitive nature and likes to experiment. A product he calls faux bacon, made frompork fl ank,wo n grand champion honors at a recent Northwest Meat Processors Association convention — but only aftera questforperfection,a long series of trials and errors. "Most people use flank for sausage,but Ihad a differentidea," Elmer said. At his shop last week, Elmer detailed themethod he'sperfected for making the product, which may well be the first of its kind. It's a matter of cutting and slicing three strips of flank, vacuumtumbling and marinating them, then removing the fat from one side and the silver lining from the other. That done, Elmer stacks one strip on another with pepper in between, and makes the whole thing into a roll. It's an innovative, possibly even unheardofuseforflank meat. Designedtobeeaten cold,ithas a distinctive spicy flavor and a tender texture worthy of a blue ribbon. That the judges at the convention thought so was a coup for Elmer.

any people I know enjoyatleastone television reality show that they will admit as being a guilty pleasure. Mine happensto be "Bar Rescue." The premise of the show is that within just a few days, bar turnaround expert Jon Taffer can change mindsets, educatethe staff,straighten out lousy owners, remodel the venue and rebrand the bar toappealto ademographic that will make the business profitable. As each episode begins, Taffer enters a failing bar like a new sheriff riding into a crime-ridden Western town. In no time flat, he determines what works, what doesn't and what needs to change. This formula consists of calling out individual employees dragging the business down, financially and operationally. One of the most exciting elementsofeach episode is the creation of a new brand for the bar. Taffer utilizes all elements — people, education,remodeling, signage and organizational changes — so that the owner, employees and customersallhave abetter experience. The transformation is always fun to watch. To accomplish this goal, Taffer must change both hearts and minds. Those employees who can adapt keep their job and those who won't find themselves out of work. Taffer comes into abar because it is failing financially. The core reasons the bar has issues are outright owner neglect, indifference, a poorattitude based on a past event, or simply burnout. A common theme is a lack of technical understanding of how a bar makes money. This all makes for entertaining television. In all of the "Bar Rescue" episodes I have watched, and in thinking about some of the business owners I've met and perhaps consulted, I've witnessed these characteristics that explain why the business they own is doing poorly: • These are individuals who think they are working SeeKeller / Page 2B

a er i wine arnansexnansion • Earth I Vine opening second location in La Grande likely by June By Terry Richard The Oregonian

PORTLAND — And then there were two. Mary Stevenson is planning to duplicate a good thing by opening a secondlocation forherpopular Baker City business, Earth & Vine wine bar and art gallery. This one will be in La Grande, likely opening in June. That could make it a good

summer for west side Oregonians to venture out east, now that they know they can get a good glass of wine in a couple of places iin addition to the already famous beer). Of course, wines from Walla Walla have long found their way into northeast Oregon, so it's not really like getting good wine is something new. Stevenson grew up on a Baker County ranch and went to college in La Grande at Eastern Oregon University, though she did that by commuting. Now, she will set down more permanent roots in La Grande, but it will still be by commuting. SeeExpansxon / Page 2B

While they are proud to be the owner, they don't really want to either lead or manage. • They do not supervise. Subordinates never hear praiseand rarely getdirection or feedback. Formal performanceappraisals never take place. Employees areoften told "Good job,"but itisneverin reference to anything specific. • Follow-up and followthrough are non-existent.

Multiple factors add Up to poor air quality in Yakima WesCom News Servicestaff

YAKIMA, Wash.— A new Washington State University study has found that a combination of agricultural emissions, human-based activity — like running car engines and burning woodstoves — and cold, still winter nights adds up to poorer air quality in the Yakima Valley than in much ofthestate. Workingin collaboration with the Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency, Yakama Nation, state Department

of Ecology and Central Washington University, the WSUresearchers found that ammonia fiom agricultural activities and emissions fiom motor vehicles lead to high pollution levels under specific cold and stagnmt atmospheric conditions during winter. Researchers conducted the study at the request of the ecology department after that agency's routine monitoring picked up elevated levels of nitrate particles in the air in the Yakima area. The agency monitors

air pollutants throughout Washington to ensure federal health-based air quality standards are met. W hen breathed deep into the lungs, fine particle pollution can lodge and cause structural and chemical changes. These particles can also act as carriers forother toxicand cancercausing materials. Recent air monitoring data showed that the Yakima region had high levels of atmospheric nitrates and could risk violatingfederalstandards for

fine particle pollution. "On some winter nights, the pollution levels in the Yakima Valley canreach what the EPA says are unhealthy levels,' said Tim VanReken, assistant professorinthe WSU Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. W ith saophisticated atmospheric chemistry laboratory housed in a custombuilttrailer,theresearchers took careful measurements throughout the region and createda detailed data set in January 2013.

SALEM — Oregon employersarereporting 10,000 more job vacancies than they had a year ago and moretroublefi nding the right candidates, leading to higher wages, according to a report released Monday by theOregon Employment Department. The number of unemployed Oregonians also is falling. With more vacancies and fewer jobless workers, there are now four people unemployed for every job vacancy, down from eight a year ago,according todata from the quarterly job vacancy survey of employers. ''Whatit's basically showing isthere' sa tighterlaborma rket," said Jessica Nelson, a state employment economist. "Afterseveralyearsofvery slow growth, things have been ramping up more quicklyin the last six to nine months." Employers reported nearly 33,000jobvacancies this

winter. Nearly all of the 10,000additional vacancies were att ributed to companies with fewer than 100 employees. The concentration of vacanciesatsmalleremployers was unusually pronounced, Nelson said, though difficult to explain &om the data. Many of the smaller employers with job vacancies were in the construction, retail and natural resources industries, suggesting people are opening more small stores and independent constructioncontractors are hiring more help, she said. Employers reported having difficulty filling 54 percent ofjobs,up from 39 percent last winter. As a result, the average wage offered was up 74 cents from ayear ago,to

$16.05. The survey found more vacancies this year than last in every region of the state, though more than half19,000— ofallvacanciesare in the Portland area.

"I didn't want all that goaty goodness going down the drain," Mary said. So Mary started her business, "Mary's Milk Monsters," at age 9, and soonran her own booth at the Astoria Sunday Market. In just two years, market goers came to recognize Mary's pink baseball cap, white apron and friendly smile. In the thick of market season, Mary crafts and sells nearly 20 new bars of soap each week. Mary learned how to make and sell her soap by joining the Young Entrepreneurs Club from the Oregon State University Extension Service's 4-H program and the Astoria Sunday Market. The club, open to students in kindergarten through 12th grade, was a longtime dream of Astoria Sunday Market director Cyndi Mudge. "Icontacted 4-H because I knew 4-H designed programs forlotsofagegroups to learn life skills," Mudge said."I figured this would be a way for those kids to take their skills and projects to the next level." Since 2009, the club has taught more than 50 youth who have sold more than 80 items at the Astoria Sunday Market, according to Sandra Carlson, 4-H youth educator for the OSU Extension
