TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 28, 1964 City Manager Fred C. Dyer has recommended there be no reduction in water rates at this time if the city plans to continue its capital improvements program as originally pf oposed. The recommendation came at the regular session of the city council last night. City Councilman Hans Neuberger had proposed at the meeting two weeks ago and again last night, that the water rates be reduced. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 28, 1989 The state of Oregon's priority in the year1993 will be a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail, if an Oregon Trail Advisory Council recommendation is adopted. That council has presented a year-long study to the governor, and the study is summarized the April Oregon Historical Society quarterly magazine. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 28, 2004 For once the Baker City Council was ecstatic about spending money rather than saving it. Councilors have not abandoned fiscal restraint. But they recognize that in the matter of maintaining city streets, being stingy is just plain silly. And more expensive. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 1, 2013 Water from the Smith Ditch, an irrigation canal that runs along Spring Garden Hill at the southeastcorner of Baker City, spilled over Monday but damage was minimal and limited to one property. "The ditch people cleaned it up and everything is fine," said Al Free, who lives on Place Street at the base of the hill below the ditch. The situation is far different from Aug. 16, 2003, when a section of the ditch gave way, causing an estimated10 million gallons of water to spill out and spread a muddy slurry of rocks and debris into the residential neighborhood below.

CAMPAIGN

Continued from Page1A As a result, only those voters who are registered Republicans will have on theirballotthe racesfor Baker County Commission Chairman — Bill Harvey is challenging incumbent Fred Warner Jr. — and Commissioner Position 2, which pits incumbent Mark Bennett against Gene Stackle and Dick Fleming. Of the 69 voters who switched their afBliation to the GOP since April 17, 47 had previously been registered as Democrats.

Baker County has vacancies on the following boards and committees: Baker County Weed Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Baker County Budget Board, Baker CountyFairBoard,Transient Lodging Tax Committee. Anyone interested in volunteering should fill out a volunteer form prior to April 30.

Continued from Page 2A Yet using coordination as a mechanism to invalidate federal and state law isn't practical, he said. "If you look through the West there is not alotofcountiesthatare getting a lotof headway with coordination,"Warner said."It sounds great but the reality is we'll have to sit down and use every tool we have. There are a lot of people who think the county can trump state and federal planning but it's just not the reality." Warner said he understands many county residentsare exasperated — and discouraged — by the federal restrictions on the use of natural resources. "But we are having some successes," he said."But it will take time and a lot ofhard work." Warner said he believes the county is on tracktoboosting logging on federalland. "I think we'll get there," he said, emphasizing the Snow Basin project on the Wallowa-

County has openings onseveral boards

"The local ifederall and regional ifederall people are trying to get actual management on the forests,"Warner said.aWe haven't seen that in 10 years. We have to have sustainable timber management. We've been cutting 15 to 20 million board feet in the Wallowa-Whitman in the last three years and I think we are well above that," he said. W arner said hisrecord speaks for itself. "I think I'm a proven leader. I think we all need to remember, we all know what the problems are in Baker County. The issue is how do we come up with solutions," he said. Harvey said one key problem in the countyis a lack ofleadership and he is the candidate who can provide a vision and a pathway to the future. And that means, he said,standing up to thefederaland state governments. "No one fights back. If we don't fight back and say, 'this is enough,' we lose. They are killing us with regulations. I want change. I'm tired of no change in direction," he said.

Of the 207 voters who have changed to the GOP this year, 138 — 67 percentwere previously Democrats. During the past week or so another 11 voters changed their alliation from the Independent Party to Republican. Ballots for the May 20 primary probably will be mailed on Wednesday, Green said this morning. She said she would delay the mailing by one day, until May1, onlyifher office receives a glut of registration changes on Tuesday, the last day to eitherregistertovote or to change party afBliation.

Methodist Women Fellowship Day Friday The United Methodist Women will sponsor May Fellowship Day on Friday, May 2 at noon at the church, 1919 Second St. A salad luncheon will be furnished. The program features Joyce Hunsaker, who will talk about the Bandstand Pavilion project in Geiser-Pollman Park.

Daughters of American Revolution to meet The next regular meeting of the Lone Pine Tree Chapter of the Oregon State Daughters of the American Revolution will be Friday, May 9 at the Sunridge Inn in Baker City. Lunch will start at 11:30 a.m., and the meeting at noon. The program, presented by Lynne Zwanziger, will be about the Wisconsin country summer home of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. For more information, please call Meschelle Cookson at 541-503-4248 or Joan Smith at 541-

963-4861.

Green said a last-day flurry of registration changes could make it difficult for her stafFtorecord allthe changes before ballots are mailed. In that case, voters who had switched to GOP registration might still receive a ballot thatshows their previous aftliation. Such voters could go to the Courthouse and ask for a new ballot that shows their updated registration, Green said. However, a voter who mistakenly filled out a ballot, then realized the ballot didn't includethe updated registration status, would be out of luck, she said.

But he assured the audience that the GAO is"fiercely independent and professional."Walden added that he expects the investigation to be completedin am atterof months — not years. "It's important we find out what the facts are before the election," Martin told W ald e n the congressman, who said he couldn't guarantee that would

happen. Walden expressed his disgust with the Cover Oregon debacle, callingit the "digital equivalent" of the 1962 Columbus Day storm that devastated much of Western Oregon. Steve Hutchinson of Baker City sought answersfiom Walden on several issues. The first dealt with bonusespaid to em ployees of the Internal Revenue Service in Washington, D.C., even those facing disciplinary action. "Holy smokes"Walden said in agreeing with Hutchinson. "Some weren't even paying their own taxes — you can't make this stuff up." Walden said the House will vote next week to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions about allegations that members ofherstafftargeted people affiliated with the Tea Party for further examination of their financial statements by the IRS. Hutchinson also expressed concern about what he sees as the failure of the Endangered Species Act designation when it is left in place even after a species recovers. He pointedtothe caseofsea lionsthat havebecome nuisances in the Columbia River at Bonneville Dam and other sites where they eat endangered salmon. And Hutchinson asked Walden what could be done to help veterans who "are being killed, ifyou will, because they can't get VA services." Walden said an investigation is under way regardingthebacklogof services to veterans and a House bill has been proposed to address the issue.

ex erience 1VCS (%310)i Mark Bennett is the incumbent in his campaign against his fellow Republican challengers Gene Stackle and Dick Fleming for Position 2 on the Baker County Board of Commissioners. But incumbency isn't Bennett's major advantage, and it's not the main reason we urge registered Republicans to vote for him in the May 20 primary. What distinguishes Bennett is his experience in helping to runBaker County,and the knowledge he'sgained during more than 20 years as a county employee. Bennett's career includes stints in two jobs that give him a depth of expertise about issues that matter to county residents, a depth that few candidates for his position have boasted. He has served for 13 years as the county's planning director. In that capacity he has worked with hundreds of residents who wanted to build a home or start a business or otherwise use their own property as they see fit. Bennett admits this is not always an easy job, but we believe he is committed to the notion that the county should be a helper and not a hindrance to property owners. Bennett also worked as the county's emergency management director for 20 years (he served in that job, and as planning director, simultaneously for more than a decade), a role that took him to every part of the county. He already understands the county's diversity, as he lives near Unity and has been a longtime member of the Burnt River School Board. The issue of natural resources, and in particular the county's relationship with the federal agencies that manage about half of the county's 2 million acres, is a major issue in both of the county commission races. Bennett's experience in this area surpasses his two opponents.' He helped to write the county's 2001 natural resources plan. Bennett said he has met recently with Kent Connaughton, the U.S. Forest Service's top official for the Northwest region, and Bennett said he believes Connaughton is committed to increasing the amount of logging in Baker County to reduce the fire danger. Bennett also has investigated the use of the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances program, enacted earlier this year by the Oregon Legislature. That program could allow Baker County ranchers avoid the most damaging effects if the sage grouse is listed as an endangered or threatened species in 2015. Although we believe Bennett has the best combination of attributes, both Stackle and Fleming bring impressive credentials to the ballot as well. Stackle has considerable experience in economic development, having worked for two years as economic development manager for Baker City and Baker County. He also has owned and operated several retail businesses. Stackle makes a compelling point that the county's economic development strategy has been focused too narrowly on"knocking on doors, asking people to come to Baker City." He advocates an approach that capitalizes on the county's main assets, such as agriculture and recreation. Fleming has already established himself as a strong candidate, having nearly defeated incumbent Fred Warner Jr. for the County Commission chairman position in

2010. We are particularly impressed by Fleming's expertise on natural resources issue. He makes an eloquent case for how more active management of public lands, for instance an increase in logging, can improve both the environment, by reducing the risk of wildfires, and the economy. But Bennett's take on this topic isn't vastly diferent. And that, combined with his decided advantage over Stackle and Fleming in relevant experience as a county oKcial, makes Bennett the most attractive of the three credible and capable candidates in the race for Position 2.

Saying thanks to an unsung hero of Baker City Jayson Jacoby, I just finished reading your article on litter and the front pagearticleon ourcodeenforcement officer's task of messy yards about town. Both articles brought to mind two unrelated yet very much alike unsung heroes, and as with most heroes they never seem to garner the recognition they so richly deserve. Your article on litter immediately brought to mind a quiet local citizen that deserves the thanks of every citizen of Baker City. He is Tom Kulogof Betty's Books on Main Street. My wife and I have been going for daily walks since 1986 and I can't begin to count the hundreds of times over the years we witnessed early in the morning,

Tom out for a walk and picking up everypieceoflitterhecomes acrossand putting it in the nearest public refuse container. We have even seen him step into the street to retrieve litter out of the street. We sometimes pass him and smile, sometimes say"good morning," but never"thanks." Now we would like to say a great big"thanks, Tom."You show more concern for the beauty of our city than any other citizen we can think of I hope someday the city of Bakercan fi nd away ofsaying thank you to Tom as well. The other article on code enforcement brought to mind my Father, Ernest Ward, gone now for many years but I can still hear his words as loud and clear today as those words were 60 years ago when I was a kid. We never had big beautiful yards, always lived in rented houses where landlords didn't care about yard landscaping. My fatherwould always have my brother and me doing the watering, mowing, trimming and if ever a piece oflitter should be in sight of the yard we would always pick it up. This was due to my father's words I hear to this day,"Dirt is fine, but it better be clean dirt." How often I think of those words everyday of my life and can't help but think Tom Kulog would have loved my fatheraswell. Bill Ward Baker City

Bennett has skills and is dedicated to Baker County I strongly support Mark Bennett for Position 2, Baker County Board of Commissioners. Mark has served in this capacity since being appointed to the position last year. Mark has broughta very good understanding of the needs of all of Baker County, due to his experience as planning director for a number of years iwhich he did very well, by the wayl, emergency services, andvarious otherpositions serving our county, but also his ranching experience iwhich continues to this dayl, which is very important to our county. Being a county commissioner is not just a figurehead — it involves a lot of work, if one is doing the job well, which our current board does, as well as workingwelltogether to serveus. We in Baker County are very fortunate to have a well-run Courthouse, and this is no accident. Having served on various committees, and being in and out of the Courthouse on many occasions, I have seen firsthand Mark's management skills and dedication to Baker County and the principles our great country is founded on. It is extremely important right now that we elect local officials who understand how the system works, and how best they can operate to counteract some of the things going on in Washington, D.C., iand for that matter, Salem) that affect us here in Baker County in a negative way. Mark has shown that he does understand this, and that he is willing to work hard in our behalf. I urge you to vote for Mark Bennett for Position 2, Baker County Board of Commissioners.

• For the third time in four games, the two teams need overtime to settle things ByAnne M. Peterson Ap Sports VVrtter

PORTLAND — There was some shouting going on in the Trail Blazers' locker room after they fell behind by 10 points at halfbme to the Rockets. Up 2-1 in their first playoff seriessince 2011,the Blazers didn't want to mess up Game 4, especially in front of their hometown fans. "In the words of ChuckCharles Barkley — we were playing like wussies," Portland guard Wesley Matthews said.cThat was the message to each other." Whatever was said, the Trail Blazers pulled out of their funk and went on to defeatthe Rockets 123-120 in overtime Sunday night to take a 3-1 advantage in the series that moves to Houston on Wednesday. LaMarcus Aldridge had 29 points and 10 rebounds in the first win for the home team in the series, while Nicolas Batum added 25 points. It was the third game in the series decided in overtime. The Blazers haven't advanced out of the first round since 2000. Portland also hasn't held a 3-1 advantage in aseriessincethe 2000 Western Conference semifinals against Utah, which the Blazers won 4-1. James Harden had 28

WHAT'S NEXT

Former Blazers coach Ramsay dies

Portland will try to clinch the series — and advance to the second round for the first time since2000 — in Game 5, set for Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. PDT at Houston.

MIAMI (AP) — Jack Ramsay, a Hall of Fame coach who led the PortlandTrail Blazers to the 1977 NBA championship before he became one of the NBA's most respected broadcaster, has died following a long battle with cancer. He was 89. Ramsay'sdeathwas announced by ESPN, forwhom he worked as a broadcaster for many years. "Dr. Jack Ramsay has passed," ESPN spokesman Chris LaPlaca wrote on Twitter early Monday. "A rare man. Loved and respected by all. Fascinating life well lived. An inspiration to so many." Ramsay coached in the NBA for parts of 21 seasons before embarking on a second career as an NBA analyst. He was diagnosed with melanoma in 2004 and later battled growths and tumors that spread to his legs, lungs and brain, then later fought prostate cancer and most recently a marrow syndrome. His affinity for fitness never wavered, though. Ramsay, who competed in at least 20 triathlons during his life, worked out regularly into his 80s, even as he battled the various forms of cancer that he was stricken with. He often spoke of his love of swimming in the Gulf of Mexico near his home in Naples, Fla., or jogging in a pool or from wall to wall in his hotel room when he was traveling on NBA assignments. "He's probably forgotten more about the game than I know," Miami Heat coach and president Pat Riley once said of Ramsay, whom he counted as a close friend. Ramsay also spent several years late in life caring for his wife, Jean, who was diagnosed in 2001 with Alzheimer's disease. She died in January 2010.

points and Dwight Howard added 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets. "The playoffs are a grind," Houston coach Kevin McHale said."It's a different game than the regular season. You've got to be built for the grmd. Portland trailed by as many as 11 points, but rallied in the fourth quarter. Mo Williams' 3-pointer put the Blazers in front 105-104 with 18.9 seconds left. Dorell Wright missed the first of two free throws, making it 106-104 with 8.3 seconds to go. Howard dunked off a feed from Harden with 3.6 secondslefttotieitand Williams missed a 3 at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.

Aldridge missed a pair of free throws and Daniels was fouled by Wright on a 3-point attempt and made all three shotstonarrow itto 121-120 with 8.9 seconds left. After a Portland timeout, Mo Williams made free throws for the final margin. "It was tough,"Aldridge said. "I thought it was a gut-check by everybody. I thought our guys took on the challenge." Aldridge opened Portland's return to the playoffs with a franchisepostseason-best 46 points in the Blazers' 122-120 overtime victory in Game 1, then followed it up with 43 points in the 112-105 win. The Rockets won the third,121-116 in overtime on Friday night at the Moda Center. M cHale again started Omer Asik in place of Terrence Jones. Asik had successagainstAldridge in Game 3, helping to hold Portland's All-Star to 23 points. The two teams played closely for most of the first quarter, but the Rockets took a29-22 lead afteran 11-4 run highlighted by two straight3-pointersfrom Daniels. Daniels, who spent time in the D-League this season and only made his NBA debut on March. 5, was the unlikely hero of Game 3 when he drained a 3 with 11.9 seconds to go in OT that proved to be the winner. Houston led 61-51 at the half, led by Parsons with 19 points. The Rockets maintained the lead through the third quarter and Harden's jumper from the top of the key stretched itto 92-84 with 8:31 left. Portland got within 9491 on Batum's layup with 6:35 left. Lillard's 3-pointer tied it at 94, but Harden answered with his 3 for the Rockets. Aldridge made a layup to put Portland up 102-97, but Howard made three of four free throws to narrow it before making two big blocks.

Aperfect combination Springvegetablesdirect-sown into the garden about a month ago seem to be stuck in a state of suspended animation. While most sprouted with their usual new-growth vigor, they have simplysat and appear tobe waiting,as most of us are, for a few warmer days. I continue to advise them that warmth is on its way. They refuse to budge and obviously don't believe me. Neither do the grandchildren. Have you seen them? The racks in storesthatnow have realtoolsfor toddlers, instead of just plastic play buckets and pretend gardening items. I recently purchased gardening gloves for the grandkids (I already have the tool sets). They begged to put the gloves on even though it was raining and they were marooned inside. I figured, why not. So they wore their gardening gloves withdelight,inside,and begged to go out and plant seeds with me. Telling them "it's too cold" or "it's too muddy" or"it's too windy" didn't dampen their enthusiasm for going outside and helping grandma in her garden. So for the nearly week they endured indoor activities with their grandma and papa, the fact that it rained every day made no difference in their enthusiasm. They simply wanted to go outside and plant grandma's garden. SeeGarden IEbge 2B

It has buttons to push for how many seconds, or even up to hours, I want it to cook or warm the items inside it. It is smart enough to turn on at the appropriate time and cook fora specified period of time, just like regular ovens, then turn off and beep at you. There is a plate that turns around for even cooking. When it finishes the heating or cooking, it buzzes to let me know it is ready, and, if I delay in opening the door to remove the contents,itgives me severalreminder beeps. For the novice cook, the microwave, or "mike" as I've heard it called, lists items for pre-programming such as baked potatoes, ground meats,roasts, veggies, orbeverages to thecorrect temperature. My"mike" button would even try to please me by fixing popcorn with the right heat and time for me if I wished. Ishouldbe sograteful. There are buttons to do more than heat or cook or pop popcorn.

I used kidney beans, but pinto or a combination of kidney and pinto beans would be just as tasty. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the

onions, garlic, and eggplant. Saute, stirring frequently, until the eggplant is lightly browned, about10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the broth and stir. Combine the eggplant mixture, remaining broth, tomatoes with

juice, beans, zucchini, salami, pepper, and thyme in the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for about six hours, or on high 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are blended. Discard the thyme sprigs and serve. Enjoy!

Getting ready for a garden symposium April showers — both rain and snow — have set us on course for the beautiful blooms of May that already have begun to show themselves throughout the community. And, though I thought the day would never arrive, May brings us the first Northeast Oregon Garden Symposium set for Saturday, the 17th, at Baker High School, 2500 E St. in Baker City. Just a few days remain to get in

on the May 1 $50early bird registration, which includes a choice ofthreeclassesfrom alistof12,a three-topi cround table session,a buffet lunch, participant packets and handouts. After May 1 the registration will cost $60 and will not include lunch. In my role as a volunteer with the Oregon State Extension Service, I was recruited to help with planning the event. The behind-the-scenes experience gave me a new appreciation forallthatgoesintocoordinating efforts for such a large-scale extravaganza. Extension agent Janice Cowan

AND SO IT GROWS CHRIS CQLLINS spearheaded the planning with help from Mindy Sherrieb, Gayle Hammond and me. My assignment was to recruit volunteers from the ranks of the Master Gardener program, of which Mindy, Gayle and I are members. Janice, Mindy and Gayle focusedon recruiting sponsors, soliciting donations and acquiring items to be offered in a silent auction. A catering service was neededtoprovide abuffetluncheon and banners and advertising contractsweresecured to properly promote the event. That's not to mention the most important detail: the logistics of rounding up the presenters.

ful garden this season. The impressive array of speakers will come from throughout the region and includes our own David Cowan, Janice's husband. David is not only a Master Gardener volunteer, he's also been an instructor for pastMaster Gardener classes. I especially remember the class I attended on pruning fruit trees. David's knowledge of the subject and his enthusiasm for the work was infectious. He inspired confidence in me and the other students during a Saturday afternoon field trip in which we pruned trees in the small orchard of one of our fellow classmates. At the May 17 symposium, Cowan will be one of four instructors presenting during the first session from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. He will provide information on how to install a new lawn or renovate an existing one. And he will talk about techniques for proper watering, fertilizing, mowing, aerating and more. During the second session, which runs from 10:15 a.m. to

Ladybugs are one of the most effective ways to control damaging insects in your garden. Trouble is, ladybug larvae, though they will also munch on problem bugs such as aphids, don't resemble the familiar red-and-black adults. In the photo above, ladybug larvae, the two larger black things near the center of the photo, are munching on aphids that have coated this stalk of dill. Photo above left also shows a ladybug larva. At left, an adult ladybug deals with aphids on a willow tree limb.

To keepbad bugs from eating your garden crop, you need to entice the good bugs that eat the ones causing damage. Aphids, for instance, are bad. Ladybugs, lacewings, dragonflies and praying mantises will all eat hundreds of aphids.

The larvae of these bugs eat aphidsas well,so be sure toidentify bugs before you squish them. The larvae ofladybugs, for instance, don't resemble the adult form at all — Janice Cowan, horticulture agent for the OSU Extension Service in Baker City, describes

By Stuart Leavenworth BEIJING — When U.S. President Barack Obama arrives Monday in Manila, he'll seek to reassure Filipinos that the United States would stand behind them in any conirontation with China, without doing so in a way that riles Beijing. It will be a delicate dance.

An estimated 3.4 million Filipino-Americans live in the United States — more than 40 percent in California. That's why Obama's twoday visit to the Philippines — his first and the first by a U.S. president since 2003will be watched closely on all sides of the Pacific. "Obama's trip is quite significant because of the current tensions over the South China Sea," said Patricio Abinales, a Philippines specialist at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu."The Philippines needs this visit if only as a symbolic act of support from an ally." In the Philippines Obama will find a nation where U.S. relations have steadily improved since the early 1990s, when the United States
