If anyone who attended the candidates forum Monday night at Baker High School arrived expecting to hear new, wide-sweeping proclamationsfrom the assembled candidates, they departed disappointed. All five county commissioner candidates attending the event — spon-

sored by Baker County chapter of the Association of American University Women iAAUWl and the Baker City Herald — stayed firmly inside their already established political lanes. The packed crowd also had a chance to question the three candidates for the Baker County Clerk slot. Cindy Carpenter, Marcy Osborn

and Lara Petitclerc opened the forum and answered a number of questions and presented their own viewpoints regarding how best to serve voters. Osborn, who works for the Baker County Watermaster's Offtce, said a county clerk must be well-rounded.

LA GRANDE — A North Powder couple charged with numerous sex crimes will next appear in court May 19. Joe Miller, 69, and Faith Miller, 55, were arraigned Monday afternoon on 32 counts of alleged Joe sex crimes.

setting it at $300,000 each. At the time of their arrest,

bail had been set at $250,000 each. West said he will require a hearing prior to their release. They are currently lodged in the Union County Correctional Facility. The Millers were arrested Friday by the Union County SherifFs Offtce following an April 23 joint secret indictment. See ChargedIPage 12A

May is, on average, the wettest month in Baker City. But never mind that. This May will get off to a summery, not soggy, start. On Thursday the forecast high temperature is 77. That would be the warmest day in Baker City in more than seven months — since Sept. 20, to be specific, when the high was 79. Friday should be even warmer, with a forecast high of 79. Cooler weather, and a slight chance of showers, returns over the weekend.

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 30, 1964 ClydeWard of Baker has been elected as area representative to the newly organized Oregon Seed Potato Advisory Council, it was announced today. The purpose of the organization is to promote and improve the seed potato industry of Oregon and to consider and recommend changes in seed potato certification procedures and standards, where necessary, to the Oregon Seed Certification Board. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 1, 1989 An early morning fire of undetermined origin destroyed all but the front portion of the Haines Steak House, according to owner Steve Hart of La Grande. The restaurant, filled with artifacts and considered a Haines landmark, was valued at $300,000. None of the building's contents were saved. Hart said the restaurant was insured, and he plans to rebuild it "if feasible." The fire started somewhere in the rear of the building, possibly the kitchen area, Hart said. Nearby structures, such as the Circle H Restaurant next door received little, if any, smoke and water damage. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 30, 2004 The NewTribes Mission Institute will graduate its final class at the Baker City campus in June 2005. After that, the missionary-training center will begin the move to a new home in Missouri. "We have been in a five-year process of attempting to relocate our USA training center to one central location," said Danny Morrison, chairman at Baker's training center. The institute at3100 H St. cameto Baker City in1974to establish a NTM missionary training center in the Western United States. The campus was originally a U.S. Air Force base that was occupied until the rni-11950. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 3, 2013 Baker Garage, the county's only Buick, Chevrolet and GMC dealer, will celebrate its 100th anniversary on Saturday. Owners of vintage Buicks, a brand sold at the dealership since 1913, are traveling from throughout the Northwest to join the celebration and show their vehicles, said Randy Daugherty, the current owner of Baker Garage. The display will include a 1913 Buick Model 31Touring Car owned by Mark and Rinda Shaw of Vancouver, Wash.

FORUM Continued ~om Page1A 'The county clerk has to know a little bit about everything," she said. Petitclerc said the clerk must be a steward of public resources. "Idedicatemyselftothe high standards of this office," she told the crowd. Carpenter said one asset she could bring to the office is experience. Carpenter works as an elections deputy in the clerk's office. She said two strengthsare especially important to be successful in

the job. "Clear thinking and discretion," she said. The heart of the session centered on a series of prepared questions for each of the county commission candidates. All are Republicans. Bill Harvey is competing against incumbent Fred Warner for County Commissioner Chairman. Dick Fleming and Gene Stackle are running against incumbent Mark Bennett for Commissioner Position 2. The first question was: What is the greatest success or failure of Baker County government in the past 10 years? Bennett told the crowd that one success is the county's financial state. "Our solid budget position," he said."Sometimes iin the past) we have not experienced cash reserves." Bennett also pointed to the county's focus on service and the fact that downsizing of staf has helped the county and helped pave the way to success. Fleming said a key failure

BAKER CITY HERALD —3A

during the past 10 years is the county's inability to utilizethe coordination concept. "Thebiggestproblem is ignoring the opportunity to implement coordination with federal agencies," Fleming sald. Coordination is a legal preceptthat advocatesa stronger county government role in the management of federalland.Under coordination, federalagenciessuch as the Forest Service and BLM must strive to ensure their land management decisions are consistent with the county'snatural resourcesplan to the extent possible without conflicting with federal laws such as the Endangered Species Act. Stackle, a former economic developmentdirectorforBaker City and Baker County, said economic development in the county is not living up to his expectations. "Economic development is one of thegreatestfailures I've seen," Stackle said."As faras theeconomic development council, I'd like to see it be more proactive." Harvey mentioned a controversy last year over applications for two wind farms near Huntington as a major disappointment. "The wind farm issue is a delicate one. iFredl Warner did not make a decision in a timely manner. He allowed it to go too long and the courts took over," Harvey said. Warner did not address Harvey's allegation but instead focused on the success he believes are obvious. ''What we've done, we've done the business of running Baker County.

The book includes a number of tales of real estatetransactions asoneranch or piece ofland was traded for another, and the title comes from his father's admonition that"you're not rich just because you have money fromthebank." Dan spent a number ofyearsworking as a banker,so he must have had a chance to observe this truth from bothsidesofthe desk.

CSCIVC Editorial from The (La Grande) Observer:

We've already devoted time in this space and on this page to the debacle that is the state's online health exchange network. Yet, the news Friday that Oregon officials were turning over the beleaguered system to the federal government, in what can only be seen as an admission of abject failure, punctuates the discouraging aspects of the entire episode. Designed to allow individuals to enroll for healthcare coverage, the online portal proved to be plagued by problems from the start and things never improved. So far, not one individual has been able to enroll in one sitting through the online system. Already the federal government has launched an investigation into the exchange and an independent probe pushed by Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber discovered that officials did not adequately note technical problems. The probe also asserted that the contractor

hired to build the site did not do a very good job. All of this, in the end, leads even the most disinterestedobserver to conclude that the entire process was a discouraging exhibit of good intentions gone horribly awry and total lack of oversight. The taxpayers, no Oregon, deserved better than this. Now it is important that the lessons learned in this debacle not be forgotten. There is enough blame to go around on this particular issue and in a political season it is easy to find fault. Still, what is more important now is not the fact the system failedthere is no way to avoid that conclusion on any level — but what measures will officials use in the future to ensure such fiascoes do not occur again. That is really the key question. And so far, there do not seem to be any ready answers to it.

GUEST EDITORIAL

U.S. in midst of a measles crisis Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: The United States is in the midst of a measles crisis. So far this year some 129 Americans have fallen ill with the disease, the highest number since 1996. Six of those cases have been right here in Oregon, the state with the nation's highest percentage of unvaccinated children. That's up from five cases in all oflast year and only a single one in 2012. If you're among those who have chosen not to vaccinate your children or to do so on something other than the recommended schedule, you might want to think again. Measles is among the most contagious diseases around. It can be mild in children, that's true. But it can also cause pneumonia or dealness, and in about 38 percent of cases among children under the age of 5, hospitalization is required. Then there's this: If a pregnant woman gets measles, her chances of miscarrying or delivering an underweight baby or one with a birth defect increase. In California, the state with the highest number of cases — 58 — in the current outbreak, 55 percent of those with the disease were over the age of 20. It's true that most of the cases in the current outbreak are the result of exposure to someone traveling to the U.S. from somewhere else. But had those in this country who caught measles been properly vaccinated — and not everyone can — they'd not have caught the disease no matter how they were exposed to it.

BurningBiomassIo ProducePower

Future of diomassylantsuncertain • Delay in enforcing greenhouse gas emission standard from plants to expire July 1 ByAndrew Clevenger WesCom News Service

WASHINGTON — In 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency agreed to delay the imposition of its greenhouse gas standard on biomass power plants for three years. Now, with the grace period set to expire on July 1, the federalagency has yetto give much indication of what, if any, adjustments it has made to its standards for emissions generated by biomass, the broadcategory thatincludes organic waste from trees, plants and other sources. "EPA is undertaking a detailed examination of the science associated with biogenic icarbon dioxide) emissions from stationary sources, including engaging with federal partners, technical experts, and an independent Science Advisory Board iSABl to consider technical issues," an EPA spokesperson saidrecently in response to a request for an update."At this stage, EPA is considering the recommendations made by the SAB to determine next steps." Oregon's congressional del-

egation pushed for the delay in 2011,in partbecause at the time two biomass-fueled power plants were in the planning stages for Central Oregon. Biogreen Sustainable Energy Co., of St. Helens, secured apermitfor a20-megawatt facility in La Pine, but that project has yet to materialize. Last year, Biogreen president Rob Broberg told The Bulletin that the energy market had changed the financial calculus around the project, and any action was likely years away. Attempts to reach Broberg for this story were unsuccessful. A 35-megawatt plant in Warm Springs was also under considerati on,butthatproject didn't advance past the analysisstage,said Matt Krumenauer, a senior policy analyst with the Oregon Department of Energy. Forlarge-scale biomass projects, alotdepends on the price developers can secure from the power companies that would buy their energy, he said. "If they're not able to secure a contract with a pricethat' sfavorableenough,

they're unable to get financing," he said. In recent years, the natural gas boom has driven down the cost of energy, which makes it harder for biomass projects to remain financially viable. In addition, the demand for renewable energy has changed since the EPA announced its delay, he said. Notably, California has readjusteditsrenewable portfoliostandard to putmo re emphasison projectsbased in California, he said. Biopower is now a $10 billion a year industry, and 80 facilities in 20 states generate 15 million megawatt hours each year, according to the Biomass Power Association. Unlike fossil fuels, plants grow back and capture additional carbon, making biomass "carbon neutral," the associatio n emphasizes. But even as renewable energy accounts for a larger share of America's energy production, biomass output has remained relatively flat. In 2003, wood produced 9.5 million megawatt hours, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

A decade later, it had grown to 12.2 million megawatt hours. By contrast, wind production grew from 11.1 million megawatt hours to 167.6 million megawatt hours over the same period. Biomass development in Oregon has shifted to smaller projects, such as boilers in schools, hospitalsand other public buildings, Krumenauer said. Traditionally, Oregon's lumber and paper mills could use the slash from logging to heat their kilns and generate electricity, he sald. With a new facility in John Day, Malheur Lumber Company produces biomass bricks which it is able to market locally, thereby diversifying its business, he said. One client, Blue Mountain Hospital, was able to save

$100,000 on energy costs each year by using Malheur's bricks, he said. "Even though those are small projects," they can have significant impacts, Krumenauer said.'We still think they are little gems that we couldseemore of,especially in our rural areas."

A group opposed to a campus site in west Bend has promised a legal challenge. It has raised questions about trafflc, parking and the availability of housing. Anticipating an appeal that could be lengthy, the City Council has decided to have a hearings officer handle proceedings on the school's plan for the first phase of its expansion, the Bend Bulletin 4ttp J/bit. ly/lixcoDbl reported. An appeal of a hearing

offic er' sdecision could go to the City Council, the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, the state Court of Appeals and then the Oregon Supreme Court. "If we're not going to have buildings in place by fall of 2015, we need to figure out where to teach freshman and sophomore classes and house freshmen whose parents want them to be in a supervised living environment," said Becky Johnson, an OregonStatevicepresident and the highest-ranking administrator in Bend. The branch campus openedin 2001,offering upper-divi sion courses to students who did their freshman and sophomore years at Central Oregon Community

College. Enrollment is currently about 1,000 students. Johnson said the uncertainty could hurt recruiting efforts, but even the worstcase scenario would still see the campus ready by fall 2016. The school has submitted an application for a site plan for the 10-acre area where it hopes to serve 1,900 students. Eventually it hopes to expand to 56 acres and as many as 5,000 students.

It's now using a building on the community college campus for junior and senior courses. Johnson said finding housingmay be more difficult than finding classroom space. ''We were going to require all freshman students to live on campus, but depending on what solution we come up with, we may not be able to require any of them to live on campus," she said.

ATHENA iAPl — A prosecutor says a Northeast Oregon police officer fatally shot an armed man who aimed a pickup truck at him. Law enforcement officers in the area had been looking for the man since he eluded them in a high-speed weekend chase. Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus said Athena, Ore., police Sgt. Erik Palmer located the man and his truck early Monday morning. The prosecutor says Palmer tried to wait for back-up officers, but the truck driver drove straight at the officer, who shot out the truck's tires. Primus says when the man got out of the vehicle with a gun, Palmer shot and killed him. The prosecutor identified the dead man as 55-year-old Tere David King of Athena. The East Oregonian reports 4ttp://is.gd/EWmPa7l that Saturday's chase began when Milton-Freewater, Ore., officers tried to talk to King about unspecified misconduct. Palmer is on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated.

Goats clearing brush from Umatilla River PENDLETON iAPl — The city of Pendleton is setting hundreds of goats to work clearing brush from the parkway along the Umatilla River. The East Oregonian reports 4ttp://bit.ly/1ftwGwOl the city likes goats because they chow down on invasive blackberry bushes and weeds — leaving grass alone. This is the third year the city has hired a company to bring in goats — about 150 arrived Saturday to get started. Last year, 700 goats worked on the job that took from May to July. Public Works Director Bob Patterson says that in sensitive areas, some sheep will be added this year to the mix of municipalgrazers.Lastyearthegoats stripped bark from trees, killing a dozen. The munching animals will clear about 70 acres, including areas near the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution.

Fundraising slows in GOPSenate race PORTLAND iAPl — Oregon state Rep. Jason Conger has seen a big drop in fundraising for his U.S. Senate race. Federal Election Commission records show Conger raised $64,000 during the first quarter of the year, down from $280,000 in the previous three months. The Bend Republican was significantly outpaced by GOP rival Monica Wehby, a Portland neurosurgeon who reported raising $590,000 during the quarter.

At the end of March, Wehby had $742,000 in the bank, compared with $89,000 for Conger. Some of that cash for bothcandidatesisrestricted to thegeneralelection.

you choose to run for

ofhce?

If elected, what would

be your top 3 priorities

dunng your tenure?

In 1972 I fell in love with the wide open spaces of Baker County. It was here I chose to continue my career with Safeway. While working in retail I continued to train horses and develop a 40-acre hay ranch. In 1980 I started my construction company. We own Bill Harvey Custom Builder, Rock Creek Developments and The Little Bagel Shop. Currently all three companies employ 16 full- and part-time people. We have personally invested $3 million in Baker County including land development and rental housing in Haines and have brought approximately $25 million to the local economy.

i12 years)

For 15-plus years Ihavevolunteered as president ofthelocal Homebuilders Association working as a liaison between the local contractors and the Oregon State Association including the Contractors Construction Board. After 12 years I continue to sit on the Baker County Planning Commission learning the complexities of regulations and zoning ordinances that every day people have to face. Currently an adviser for student Middle School and High School Building Program Over four years have volunteered in Alrica, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and the Philippines with a local 'Work & Witness" team building churches.

Co-chair, Association of Oregon Counties Transportation Committee: present Northeast Area Commission of Transportation: present member and former chairman Member of the Oregon Business Development Commission: presently representing Eastern Oregon Baker 5J School District Board Member Oregon Commission on Children and Families Board President of Baker County Livestock Association Baker Valley Irrigation District Board President of Baker County Shrine Club: present Chairman of Training and Employment Consortium Board President and board member of Blue Mountain Translator District

Neither myself, as a businessman, nor the citizens of Baker County can afford any more losses of our natural resources and their use due to road closures, land grabs iwildernessl, nor restricting mining resource practices. It has been too long since our county commissioners have taken a strong stance to fight for the rights of the citizens against the federal government as they try to take them away. The commissioners like the term cooperation at many levels and seem to go alongto getalong. In Baker you have to build your business from the ground up, working sometimes 14 hours a day. Through the years my company has employed hundreds of workers and just as many if not more subcontractors. Every day I acquired the knowledge necessary to build good working relationships with other businesses, landowners, government agencies and employees. For 34 years I have worked with tight budgets in order to produce an end result pleasing to everyone. Through all of this it was important to me to become a public servant and help the citizens of Baker County by becoming involved in local government.

I ran for office to bring fiscal responsibility and common sense management to Baker County. This has been achieved. I also wanted Baker County government to be customer-fiiendly and professional with a can-do attitude toward providing services to our citizens. This has been achieved. I wanted to bring open, honest communication with citizens on all the issues that touch our lives. This has been achieved. The job of Baker County Commission chair is broad and that person must wear many hats. I have provided a leadership style which emphasizes thoughtful decision-making and promotes harmony in our community. I want to continue to serve the people of Baker County because there is much work to be done. We must not listen to the naysayers who want to instill hostility and anger into county government. We need to move forward as a community. We need to work hard, work smart and we will achieve results. I ran for office because I love living in Baker County and I wanted ittocontinue to bea greatplace to live,work hard and raise afam ily. Now is the time to pull together — not apart.

Priority 1: County Administration

Priority 1:

I will approach county leadership with the same tenacity I have in all of my years as a private business to protect Baker County. Initially I will spend half a day or more in each department working side by side with the employees and elected officials to learn what they know and how best to serve the citizens of Baker County. I will form a citizens' advisory committee including people from different areas within Baker County. Their role as volunteers would be to keep the commissioners up-to-date on the issues coming before the county on many different levels so we can take a proactive approach. I have asked six different people to be involved in this committee and they would be the pulse of your county. All six are excited and looking forward to serving you in this capacity.

Priority one would be to continue the conservative fiscal policies that we have employed during my tenure. We need to maintain a professional customer service based county staff which is focused on the needs of Baker County citizens. We need to continue to focus on public safety, roads, public health, general government and natural resource issues. Baker County is like a large company and we need to focuson alloperations to assurethatthe needs ofthe peopleare being met. Relationships with local, regional and national leaders need to be maintained in order to leverage funds to update our public safety communications, improve parks and facilities, and enhance our road system. We need to be engaged with changes in the health care system in order to enhance services in public and mental health to serve at-risk children and families in our communities.

Priority 2: Natural Resources

Priority 2:

For me Baker County is the most important ... not Salem and certainly not Washington, D.C. BLM, ODFW, andUSFS would be asked and encourage to work with Baker County and its natural resources plan as we try to bring economic stability back to Baker County. As is lawful, your county would be the coordinating agency for all of this and over the past eight months I have researched and studied what other counties and states are doing to accomplish this with great success. The roads in Baker County forests and on BLM land need to stay open for all public use. Ranchers need their cattle grazing rights on public lands to continue and be secure. Farmers need irrigation water without an exorbitant amount of regulations. Listed and endangered species need scientific backing to the Environmental Impact Studies. Private property owners need their rights protected.

Priority two would be to retain and expand our economic base. We need to continue to provide funding options for business expansion, needed help in enhancing capital needs of entrepreneurs, providing business development help to businesses and to provide the infrastructure to entice new business to Baker County. We need to focus on companies that make products and sell them out of the area. We need to continue to fight for reduced regulations for businesses such as Ash Grove Cement, who provide family wage jobs. We need to take advantage of opportunities like we did with the saving of Anthony Lakes Resort and the jobs and economic impact it has had throughout our communities. We need to continue to work with our school system, Blue Mountain Community College and Eastern Oregon University to expand vocational training, which will provide trained workers for business expansion. We need to continue to pursue getting our citizens back to work. These are the best options for longterm economic sustainability of our county.

Priorit y 3:Economy: 3obs,3obs,3obs I will work tirelessly with everyone to find avenues to strengthen existing businesses in Baker County. I will work hard to bring our natural resources back under county control and together we will decide how to manage our assets. Timber, mining and agriculture, the three-legged stool that kept Baker County prosperous. Two legs of the stool are barely holding on itimber and mining) and the third leg is being whittled away by federal and state regulations. I will work to rebuild the stool and bring JOBS

back. All of us have family that are currently working in some other state or some other town but would dearly like to return home and work. Opening up the forest for more logging would bring back loggers and truck drivers. Currently there is nowhere for these logs to be sold close by so I would begin conversations with company about opening up a log mill again. MORE JOBS!!!! This was recently brought to my attention by a local logger and relative with a great vision. I listened and I heard. Restoring this industry would make outside businesses take a second look at relocating to Baker.

Priority 3: Priority three would be to reduce undue regulations and attempts to lockup federalassetstom ultiple uses.W e have seen theeffects on our economy and we must work to get our citizens back to work in our forests and our mines. This is a battle that is a half-century in the making. I believe that we are making progress and that the county has made a difference in our efforts to turn the tide. The ForestServiceisproposing more timber salesand we need toencourage these efforts as well as enhance them. We must be at the table in case oflitigation and intervene as a county and make sure the judges understand the issues from a local perspective. We need to continue to be at the table, work smart, work hard and use the process to bring our custom, culture and economic stability to the NEPA process.

The 4-H Motto,"To make the best betWhy did ter," is one of my guiding principles. you choose I have grown to care deeply about Baker to run for County and her people, having served ofhce? in various county capacities since 1991. As Planning Director I became closely involved with the rural communities and landowners. I found the county was well run, and the leadership and staffhad a sincere concern for the land and residents. I discovered I had the ability to resolve issues and find solutions for a majority of problems that were brought to me and my staff. Around year 2000 I noted a change in the role of county government; we seemed to be focusing on protecting the county and residents from new federal agencies and requirements rather than focusing on normal county governance issues. I was approached and encouraged by a cross-section of the community to fill the vacancy of Dr. Stiff. Through that appointment I realized that I had skills that were of value to the community as a commissioner.

If elected, what would

County Administration:

To ensure that: • The county recruits, trains and rebe your top tains the highest caliber of employees and 3 priorities leaders dunng your • The entire staffhas a work ethic that tenure? is solution-oriented and puts the customer first • The staff is willing to go the extra mile As commissioners we strive to have a level of transparency which sets the standard for all agencies, departments and employees. The county must continue the current fiscally conservative policies where we are solidly in the black iour current cash carryover is $1 million). We have a county team that identifies problems and is innovative in seeking ways to meet the future challenges to the county and its communities.

Federal Land Policy: Federal land boundaries might end at their signs, but the impactofFederalpolicy isfelton our streetsand in theBoard of Commissioners' chambers. We have lost the concept of"Land of Multiple Uses." Plants and wildlife have now trumped the citizens of our county and state. We must strive to return to, and protect, multiple uses of our lands. This must be done through a combination of exercising the authority of the county where certain roads fall under the R.S. 2477 category, engaging the federal and state legislative delegations, and through counties with like issues joining together to formally hold the federal agencies accountable for the actions that are negatively impacting the customs, culture and economic stability of Baker County. I will strive to continue to hold agencies accountable, to respect the customs, culture and economic stability of Baker County in locating the Boardman-toHemingway power line, in the USFS Blue Mountain Forest Plan, in the BLM Baker Area Resource Management Plan, and in the Sage Grouse Management Plan. I will continue to work with the Soiland Water Conservation Districtstaffto create a Conservation Cooperative Assistance Agreement with Assurances iCCAAl, to protect ranchers and farmers from the potentialim pactofa sage grouse threatened-and-endangered-species listing. Baker County Commissioners must continue to strive to force Congress to fund Payment in Lieu of Taxes iPILTl at full funding to offset the loss of timber revenue.

Wolf Creek Dam. Then Ilef tthe area forwork and returned 27 years later to be Public Works Director for Baker City for five years. Since working for Baker City, I have done consulting engineering, rangeland management and ran a learning center. My wife Hali and I have a daughter in college and two older children.

I was a member of the Kelso Washington City Council for four public years. service or I have been a member of the pertinent Baker County Natural Resources volunteer Advisory Committee iNRACl for experience about seven years. Iam secretary-treasurer for the Lookout-Glasgow rangeland protection association that is being formed to effectively fight rangeland fires between the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center and the Snake River. It will be composed of volunteer landowners.

I have watched over the last 25 years while the access to the you choose natural resources on the public to run for lands of the Western United States ofhce? are being systematically locked up. The management of our forests especiall y hasturned into "preserving" our forests while they grow up thick and stressed for water, until they burn. Thus destroying both the economic value and the environmental and ecological value. While on the NRAC, I have watched the county administration resist thislossofresources,butalways letting the Forest Service and the BLM set the agenda and develop the alternatives. The Baker County administration has pushed for the least damaging alternative, but even the least damaging alternative always results in some loss of the resource base. We have reached a point where we need to do more than push back. We need to find a way to think outside the box of alternatives presented tousby the ForestService and BLM. Politely pushing back is not working. We need to find a way to bite back in response to the large bites that are being taken out of our economy. I am running with the intentto reversethelossofourresources.

Why did

Our water and the timing and duration of the spring melt off is dependent on how well the forest be your top is managed. A burned off or clear 3 priorities cut forest stores little water and it dunng your melts off very early. An overly thick tenure? forest is not only susceptible to fire, but it holds the snow in the tree branches and it sublimates from there without ever reaching the ground. A managed forest allows the snow to reach the forest floor and then provides shade to preserve the snow as long aspossible,saving it until it is needed. Our forest needs to be managed for old growth characteristics. This will provide a beautiful and productive and healthy forest. See my website, www.electdickfleming.com, fora more detailed description ofm anagement offorests forold growth characteristics. The road system should be maintained for management, recreation, firewood and huckleberry gathering, and firefighting access. Coordination is a tool that can have some effect. For this reason, I suggested at the last NRAC meeting that we focus on making sure the Baker County plan be complete and a viable alternative to the USFS proposals, and also focusing on places in the Forest Plan EIS that are contrary to law. If coordination does not work as designed, the Apache County, Ariz., resolutions on Health Safety and W elfare violations caused by excessfuelscould beused.If that does not work, a statewide initiative to manage the public lands in accordance with the Oregon Forest Practices Act and Management for old growth characteristics, and turning the public lands over to the counties would be the "Nuclear Option." The state of Oregon still has legislative jurisdiction over these lands.

If elected, what would

EconomicDevelopment: Education is directly related to job creation. Our goal must be for our next generation to be able to obtain the best education available, and to be able to find quality jobs so that they may remain in Baker County. Our educational focus for both vocational and collegiate levels must be to ensure that we have a welltrained, drug-free workforce. I am convinced that we must work to ensure that we do not lose ground with any of the businesses and industries currently located in our county, as the task of firm recruitment is daunting. We have a storehouse of natural resource opportunities in Baker County that must be utilized, and I believe that I have the proven experience, knowledge and abilities to help lead theteam toaccomplish the goal!

To continue in the preservation of the public recordings that Tamera Green has initiated. There have already been great stridesachieved in this area,buthaving records thatwere established from 1862, there is still a long way to proceed. This area will require diligent attention as well as an ability to budget, as our local economy continues to fluctuate. The history of our county is uniquely important and the records we have are invaluable in the backbone and structure that composeour past aswellasour present times. The progress of technology is changing our opportunity to reachthepublic aswellas im proving theleverage ofservice. Social media is quickly allowing more residents to be more aware of available information and the comprehension of these abilities is growing daily. There is a multitude of areas now covered by cell phones, Internet and websites. This can be a puzzle, especially to the older generation like myself, but one that needs to used as effectively as possible. While technology has given us the ability to distribute noteworthy information in a remarkably brief time, it also offers another avenue to lay foundations, educate and influence objectives. In the next four-year term, I would encourage structure in this area but also remain considerate and vigilant to include all discretion in sensitivity to evaluate those capabilities for everyone.

I'd also like to critique, evaluate and update the clerk's website.

UL. ClippersOwner MaKesRacist Comments

Slerling givenlifelimeiIan NEW YORK iAPl — NBA Commissioner Adam Silver delivered the swiftest, strongest penalty he could, then called on NBA owners to force Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell the team for making racist comments that hurt the league. Almost unanimously, owners supported the commissioner Tuesday, as he handed down one of the harshest penalties in the history of U.S. sports. ''We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling's views. They simply have no place in the NBA," Silver said at a news conference. Sterling, 80, is banned for life from any association with theleagueortheClippers,and was fined $2.5 million — the maximum allowable under the NBA constitution. If threefourths of the other 29 owners agreeto Silver'srecommendation, Sterling will be forced to sell the team he has owned since 1981. A message left seeking comment at Sterling's business office hadn't been returned Tuesday afternoon. Team spokesman Seth Burton said in an email that the Clippers had no plans to issue a statement from Sterling on Tuesday. Players and others cheered Silver's quick action, with

union officials saying that if the league's punishment hadn'tincluded a mandate for Sterling to sell the team, players were considering boycotting playoff games, including Tuesday's Golden State Warriors-Clippers matchup, the team's first home game sincethescandal erupted. ''Wewanted to bea partof this decision, and we wanted Adam Silver to know where we stood. And we were very clear that anything other than Sterling selling his team was not going to be enough for us," said Roger Mason Jr., the first vicepresidentoftheplayers' union. Chris Paul, the Clippers' All-Star point guard and the president of the players'union, issued a brief statement before leading Los Angeles against the Warriors in Game 5 of their tied playoff series. "In response to today's rulingby the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver, my teammates and I are in agreement with his decision," Paul said.'We appreciate the strong leadership from Commissioner Silver and he has our full support." Sterling's commentswhich were recorded by his girifriend and released by TMZ on Saturday — harmed the league, Silver said. Sponsors were threatening to

abandon the NBA, and criticism was coming fiom fans on social media and even the White House. Sterling criticized V. Stiviano — purportedly the femalevoice on therecording — forpostingpicturesofherself with black athletes Magic Johnsonand Matt Kemp. "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?n Sterling asks the woman on the recording. "Sentiments of this kind arecontraryto the principles of inclusion and respect that form the foundation of our diverse, multicultural and multiethnic league," Silver sald. The NBA's longest-tenured owner keeps his team for now — and Silver said he didn't know if Sterling would fight to do so permanently. But he can't attend games or practi ces,can'tbeinvolved in any personnel decisions or participate in board of governors meetings. Just three days after the scandal broke, and hours beforethe Clippershosted theirbiggestgame ofthe season, Silver apologized to some oftheleague'sblack pioneers while meting out a punishment he believed would satisfy outraged players and fans.

The Miami Heat earned a little extra rest and relaxation after completing a four-game sweep of the Charlotte Bobcats with a 10998 victory Monday night. With Toronto and Brooklyn tied at 2-2 in their series, it could be until Sunday before

Miami knows its second-round opponent. That would mean at least a week ofFfor the two-time defending NBA champions. "I'm sure our guys will love it, but the most important thing is that we have the chance to move on," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Miami is the only team that can say that. No other NBA team has closed out its opponent, and only the Heat swept their series.

Cano helps Mariners top Yankees, 6-3 NEW YORK iAPl — Robinson Cano had his fuzzy beard rubbed by Derek Jeter, got ahuge grin from Mark Teixeira after a close play at first base and a whole bunch ofhellos from his former teammates. The fans, though, were less welcoming. They gave Cano a true Bronx cheer in his return to Yankee Stadium. Cano didn't mind, even claimed he didn't hear the most harsh comments Tuesday night. He was just happy to have helped the Seattle Mariners beat New York 6-3 for their fourth win in five games.

"It was weird at first, three four innings," Cano said after driving in a run and scoring another."But I was happy that I could see all of them in the field and say hi to some of them." Amid lusty boos from a modest crowd on a rainy, 46-degree night, Cano began his first game in New York since joining Seattle this winter for $240 million with a wink — at Yankees starter

CC Sabathia i3-3l.

when he took his spot at second base. When Cano grounded out to first base in the fourth, Teixeira flashed him a smile. The five-time All-Star was even booed when he cleanly handled a grounder. "That's something I can't control," said Cano, claiming he never heard the chant. "I'm not surprised. Just got to go out there and play my game."

one courtesy of a replay review that sparked a four-run fifth inning. Fernando Rodney yielded an RBI single to Brett Gardner in the ninth before striking out Jeter and Carlos Beltran with two runners on base. Cano really riled up the crowd in the fikh after driving in Seattle's first run with a groundball to Teixeira with the bases loaded.

By Tiish Yerges ForWesCom News Service

Lambing season has arrived throughoutEastern Oregon, and pastures are filled with grazing ewes and their suckling newborn lambs. For sheep operators, lambing and shearing seasons are always the busiest times of the year. Freda Cant, 102, of Imbler recails the ranchinglife she shared with her husband, James Cant, f'rom 1932 to 1975. They were sheep operators with his parents, James and Elizabeth Cant, on the nearly 6,000acre Cant Ranch located eight miles northeast of Dayville. Today, the Cant Ranch is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been owned by the National Park Service since 1975. The house ispreserved as an interpretative center, showing visitors an example of an early 20th century livestock ranch. But in its day, Cant remembers it as it really was — a bustling place with hired hands, herders, horses,chickens, some cows, crops and more than

Still, she felt very fortunate to have a job for the next two years as secretary to the county agent in Canyon City. During that time, she boarded with the sheriff and his wife. 2,000 sheep.

don't do it as often as I should, but one of my favorite tools is asking thought-provoking questions of my clients. Doing research, I ran across a question asked by Intel's co-founder Andy Grove: "If the current CEO were kicked out of the company, what would the new CEO do?n I am sure that the correct answer by the new CEO would be a blend of three lists. The first list would contain all the things that the leader should continue doing. The second list, probably longer in length, would be a list of items to start doing. The third list might actually be pretty short, and it would be the list that the new CEO would create that listed the things that he or she would stop doing. Peter Drucker was quoted as saying, 'Your first and foremostjob asa leaderis to take charge of your own energy and then help to orchestrate the energy of those around you. For this to take place, the leader has to first lose the source of negative energy. This can be accomplished by making two lists. The first is the "stop doing list," and the second is a"never start" list. These two tools are so powerful they should become part of the annual planning process for your company and for the management team. Here are some thoughts to help jump start your thinking as youcreatethese lists. 1. Stop tolerating mediocre performancefrom people that belong on someone else's payroll. 2. Stop putting off difficult conversationsabout people. 3. Quit making every decision. If you don't trust people to make the right decisions for the company, you have another issue to deal with. 4. Stop having meetings without purpose. 5. Stop thinking that all clients are the same; some are more valuable than others. 6. Never start thinking that your company's current good health will continue without change into the future. SeeKeller / Page 3B

Though it should win backing from nearly all of the 53 Democrats and two Democraticleaning independents, few if any Republicans are expected to join them, leaving them shy of the needed 60 votes. Democrats are aware of its likely fate. But they also know that according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, women and young people make up disproportionateportions ofthe 3.3 million people who earned $7.25or lesslastyear.Both groups traditionally tilt toward Democrats, who would love to lure them to the polls this fall as they fight to retain Senate control. "It's a powerful motivator forvotersin the Democratic base whoare a focalpointof Democratic efforts to turn out voters in the midterm elections," Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin said of the minimum wage push. Senate Republicans have scant political incentive to support the measure. The GOP's business allies oppose the increase, saying itdrives up employers'costs.

500,000 jobs — though it also concluded that earnings w ouldrise foratleast16.5 million low-paid workers. Republican voters also give GOP senators little reason to back the increase. An Associated Press-GfK Poll in January found that while the public supports a minimum wage increase by 55 percent to 21 percent, Republicans oppose it by 39 percent to 32 percent. For tea party voters — who GOP senators hope will vote in large numbers this November — the gap is 43 percent against an increase and 28 percentforit. To counter Democratic arguments that they are clueless about today's harsh economic realities, Republicans say the priority should be finding ways to create jobs with steps like reducing taxes and regulati ons on companies. 'You can try to wave a magic wand and artificially" increase wages, said Republican pollster David Winston. Instead, he said, the GOP is reaching out to voters"who'd like to be earning more money and really think the economy needs to be turned amund." Both sides' constituencies oppose compromising on a lower figure, including the AFL-CIO, which backs an increase, and the National Federation of Independent Business, which opposes one. That makes a bipartisan deal even less likely, at least beforetheelections.

how we avoided a shivaree, I suppose. Our first summer together, we herded sheep on top of the mountain and along the John Day River back to the main ranch." The Cant Ranch that awaited them grazed about 2,400 sheep. Annually, the family sold their lambs and took them to a delivery spot in Seneca between Burns and John Day. With that many sheep, the Cants often had hired men camping on the range to watch the vulnerable lambs. Sometimes, the Cants tagged the ewes before lambing. They would shear the back part of the ewe so there wouldn't be so much wool, and it would be cleaner and healthier for lambing. 'The ewes lambed on the range, so there wasn't much attending that had to be done with the ewes," Cant said.cWe had to watch out for the newborn lambs becauseofpredatorslike bobcatsand especially coyotes. The coyotes got lots of sheep, and people killed them. That's when they could. Now they don't want anyone to kill them." Each June, the Cants sheared the sheep. Wool buyers usually came through the area, sealing deals with sheep operators like the Cants so that when shearing time arrived, that wool was already sold. Though sheep were their predominant product on the Cant Ranch, they alsoraised some hay to feed their horses. With limited land for this crop, though,they often had tobuy more hay from others later in the year. They also grew oatsasforage and feed forthe horses.

Cant was nearly 21 years old when she immersed herself into married life on the ranch. She and her husband made their home in a modest house on the ranch, and then the kids started coming — Betty i1933l, Kathleen

i1939l, Kerma i1947l and Jim i1952l. Her in-laws also lived on the ranch along the river bank and about onehalf mile from the newlyweds. They occupied a spacious three-story home with six rooms and a bathroom on the second floor and an open attic on the third floor. "In the early years, they used to have dancesand partiesthere and people used to come from a long way. It was a place they could stop and sleep," Cant said."The Cants were always hospitable, and it needed to be that way becauseitwa sanother day'stravelto Dayville."

When it was all said and done, the crew sheared two bands of sheep for the Cants and one band of sheep for theirneighbors — about 300 sheep per shearer.

LEO (Juty 23-Aug. 22) — You'll be following a trail straight toward a formerly unimagined destination. What you learn will enable you to break free in many ways. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Youmay not feel as though you are running on all cylinders. It will take more than a simple tune-up to remedy the situation.
