Representatives fron the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest met with the Baker County commissioners Wednesday to discuss the county's coordination with the federal agency.

Recently there has been friction between the two government entities.

At a February meeting, commissioners sent alet terto theForestServicerejectingthe agency's offered Memorandum of Understanding iMOUl between the two agencies.

That MOU wouldhave made thecounty a "cooperatingagency"in theForestService's multi-year endeavor to write new management plans for the three national forests in the Blue Mountains: the Wallowa-Whitman, Malheur and Umatilla.

Commissioners at the February meeting said they wanted"coordinating" status which they believe would give them more influence in avariet y ofForestService actions.

In March, Commission Chair Bill Harvey saidthe ForestServiceissuedinformation to media that was"misleading at best and actually deceitful ... at worst," concerning the agency's deferment of work on its Travel Management

National Day of Prayer May 7 The 64th-annual National Day of Prayer will be observed in the U.S. on Thursday, May 7.

Baker City residents will meet at noon that day at Geiser-Pollman Parkto pray, said Suzanne Kahle. Last year eight people gathered in the park to pray for America, she said.

The people involved in Australia's National Day of Prayer are fasting and praying for seven days — from April 30 to May 5 — for healing for the United States, Kahle said.

In a press release about the National Day of Prayer, Kahle quoted Alison Jessup of Australia, who explained why people in her country have scheduled the week-long prayer and fasting: "We in Australia are grateful for the protection that America gave Australia and the nations of the free world during World War II.

Ethics Commissionwon't Nursue comglainlagainslIimLKerns The OregonGovernment Ethics Commission won't pursue a complaint filed last week against Baker County Commissioner Tim L. Kerns.

Kody Justus of Baker City filed the complaint April 24.

At issue was Kerns' vote in March to re-appoint his wife, Jan Kerns, to the county's Natural Resources Advisory Commit-

tee iNRACl. In an April 27 letter to Tim Kerns, Ronald Bersin, executive director of the Ethics Commission, wrote that "The issues raised in the complaint do not appear to involve...areasof Commission jurisdiction."

The Ethics Commission's jurisdiction includes the state's Government Ethics Law,

chapter 244 in Oregon Revised Statutes.

That law prohibits elected ofFrcials, including county commissioners, from using their position for personal gain. An example would be hiring a relative for a public position.

The NRAC is a volunteer committee whose members are not paid.

Mark Witty, who has been hired to begin work as Baker School District superintendent July 1, participated in hiring the new administrators. At his direction, the district advertisedopenings for tw oprincipalsto serve kindergarten through Grade 8, Palmer said.

Nine people applied for the jobs, with candidates coming from both within and outside the district.

Lehman, who teaches second-grade at Haines Elementary, will bring leadership experiencegained in serving ashead teacher at Haines and as Oregon Teacher of the Year to her new position, Palmer said. Lehman also has a strong instructional background, with a special emphasis in math, Palmer said.

The 46-year-old Lehman said Thursday that while she will miss the students and stafF at Haines Elementary, she is looking forwardtothe administrative move.

"Any part of the Baker School District where Igettobe em ployed isa greatopportunity," she said.

TURNING BAcK THE PAGEs 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 1, 1965 A full house audience responded to the outstanding singing and acting in the first night showing of the Baker HighSchoolmusicand drama depattment's"Oklahoma" Friday evening.

The play will again be presented tonight and a near capacity crowd is expected, according to Kent Smith, production director and vocal instructor for Baker schools.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 1, 1990 The mild winter and pleasant spring have thrust the Russian wheat aphid back into the spotlight.

Populations of the pest in the Northwest appear to be on the rise, according to Umatilla County extension agent Mike Stoltz.

However, Baker County extension agent Jay Carr said no significant jump in aphid numbers is noted in the county.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 2, 2005 Bakersoftballcoach Steve Bachman was busy on the telephone Saturday evening. Bachman was calling his players to give them the exciting news — the Bulldogs own at least a share of the Greater Oregon League championship.

Bachman hadto make thecalls because he received the news almost an hour after the Class 3A top-ranked Bulldogs had shut out Riverside 5-0, 9-0 in a doubleheader at the Baker Sports Complex.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 2, 2014 Craig Davidson's law enforcement career was ended by a 5-year-old boy.

Thatboy was Jordan Ryan,who was mauled to death by a pit bull on Sept. 27, 2013.

Jordan's death broke not only Davidson's heart, but the heart of the entire community.

For the 52-year-old Davidson, the loss of the kindergattner was more sadness than he ever again wants to bear in a day's work. For that reason, he has resigned from his job as a Baker City Police detective.

ex 'n: O SU r i Se We weren't shocked to learn that several Baker High School students were punished recently for violating

the school's cyberbullying policy by sharing, via digital devices, a nude photo of a student.

Smartphones and tablets aren't used exclusively for sendingtextmessages and playing video games, aker

all.

Which isn't to say that we pass this situation oA'as "teens doing what teens will do."

That's true, of course, but what's equally true is that "sexting" and other forms of cyberbullying are serious, and can harm students. Nor is the problem confined to teenagers, interim superintendent Betty Palmer said.

That's why the school district has a policy, and we commend BHS principal Ben Merrill for enforcing that

policy appropriately.

But we also hope this episode reminds parents how important it is for them to become familiar with technology, and in particular how their children use it.

Most vitally, everyone, regardless of age, needs to remember that photos and other information distributed by most popular electronic means — and this is by no means limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the better-known services — in eA'ect instantly, and permanently, transforms from private to public when you tap the send box on the screen.

Modern technology does not allow second chances.

School oKcials were understandably anxious about publicity in this case.

But we agree with Merrill that perhaps parents "will use it as a learning experience for their son and daughter."And who better than school oKcials to help with that lesson? We think the message would resonate especially clearly were the school district to send it by way of, say, a general email to parents when such incidents are confirmed.

Doing so not only would alert parents to this important topic, but it might help illuminate the truth in the pea soup fog of rumors inevitable in such situations.

Vote no!

I'm asking for all of our Baker County Republican, Independent and Democrat voters to not dismantle our historical and cultural voting system. For dose to 240 years we have had one of the world's best governmentalstructuresforselecting our political leaders. This very system has stood the test of time.

When I vote, I always look for someone who is conservative and shows past experiences, belieisandvotingrecords that align with my core values. I also look for someone who has the leadership capabilities to bring others into this way of understanding.

Bill Harvey Haines Editor's Note: Harvey is the chairman of the Baker County Board of Commissioners.

Nonpartisan elections lead to dirty politics I believe all voters in Baker County should read Keith Trashern's letter fiom Grants Pass and really think about what jumpingin and voting for a change of nonpartisan elections can cause. Look what the damages it can cause, like the people did sixyears ago when they thought they wanted a change. Wegotit, now we are going down the tube fast the same way Germany did when the people believed Hitler.

While livinginAlaska I was an election board chairman in two di%rent election districts, 16 years altogether, and I have seen things that were tried and worked but some didn't. In my trainingit was understood that the onlyreason for a primary election was for each party to decide who they wanted to run against the other party's candidate in the general election. In the mid '70s the people weren't satisfied how elections were run so the nonpartisan elections were voted in andthen thefun began.

My experience with nonpartisan elections was mainly listening to both Democrat and Republicans alike letting me knowhow theywere goingtovote fortheotherparty'sweakestcandidate in the primary election to make sure their candidate won in the general. Atter the primary the people would come to our house and brag how they voted and they were sure that now their candidate would win.

But after a few times it didn't always turn out as they wanted it to and they sure weren't satisfied so then the newspapers were loaded with unsatisfied people fiom both parties.

The nonpartisan elections were voted back out and it was still that way when I left. Dirty politics doesn't always win!

e r oesun UniS e ; a n The sentence 'The body was found in a shallow grave" bothers me in a way few others strings of words do.

I've read it, or something similar, dozensoftim es.

The description is a familiar one in true crime books, the genre that competes with military histories, travel writing and P.J. ORourke for the bulk of my reading time.

I dislike the sentence not because it's murky. Indeed it's quite precise, and useful in its place.

It's just that I abhor the inhumanity of the situation it describes.

I should expect no trace of tenderness &om murderers, of course.

Yet it seems to me that killers add an evil exclamation point to their crimes when they dispose of their victims the way a person might do with a rat he has trapped in an attic.

I had reason to ponder this matter recently while reading Herald reporter Chris Collins' fascinating stories about Kendra Dee Maurmann, the 42-year-old Baker County woman who was murdered in 1994.

Mushroom huntersfound Kendra's decomposed body — in the aforementioned shallow grave — in the woods north of Richland on April 4, 1995.

Her murder, which remains unsolved, is profiled in the installment of the"Cold Cases" series included elsewhere in today's newspaper.

But it's also a crime that might yet have a resolution.

re on usreme ourt overturns re orms

By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

SALEM — The OregonSupreme Court ruled Thursday that some of the 2013 cuts to public-employee retirement benefits are unconstitutional, wiping out much of the savings lawmakers were aiming for and likely raising pension costs for state and local governments.

The justices unanimously said workers were promised an annual inflation increase of up to 2 percent, and the Legislature can't scaleitback retroactively.

Cities and school districts said they're disappointed in the ruling and warned it will lead to larger class sizes and diminished government services. They called on the Legislature to find new Public Employees Retirement System cuts that might pass muster with the court.

'These reforms represented a reasonable means for government employers to manage expensive PERS obligations while still providing an adequate level of desired services to citizens," said Mike McCauley, directoroftheLeague ofOregon Cities.

It was the second time in a decade that the courtrebuffed theLegislature'sefforts to curtail pension benefits already accrued, and Democratic legislativeleadersshowed little interest in trying again.

'There isn't anything more that's constitutional that can be done," said Rep. Val Hoyle of Eugene, the No. 2 Democrat in the

House. Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, said the Legislature had "with no other options to pursue."

In the Senate, President Peter Courtney, a Salem Democrat, said simply, "The Supreme Court has done its job. Now it's time for the Legislature to do its job." He listed his priorities, with no mention of PERS. In a statement, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said she's reviewing the decision and "assessing next steps."

After the Great Recession took a $17 billion bite out of the pension system's investments, state and local governments faced a big hike in their employee pension costs.

To givethem a reprieve,former Gov. John Kitzhaber brokered a deal to cut benefits while raising taxes on mostly wealthy taxpayers and cutting them for certain businesses.

The pension cuts reduced the costof-living adjustment, or COLA, kom a maximum of 2 percent to 1.25 percent for the first $60,000 in retirement payment and 0.15 percent on anything higher. About 19,000retireesliving outside Oregon lost a supplemental payment intended to help cover income taxes.

The justices ruled the supplemental tax payment was not a contractual guarantee so the Legislature was free to take it away.

But the COLA could not be reduced for any work done before Oct. 8, 2013, when the law tookeffect.

COUNTY Continaed ~om Page1A Commissioners Mark Bennett and Tim L. Kerns sent a letter authored by Kerns to Forest Supervisor Tom Montoya earlier this month that stated in part:"It is my goal that we craft a good working relationship where we can utiliz eboth thecooperating and coordinating process," and "maintain a strong and positive working relationship as we move forward through the Forest Plan Revision process."

'Tm terribly concerned about our communications with the Forest Service," Kerns said during the April 1 meeting at which he and Bennettvoted to send theletter.

Harvey declined to sign the letter.

Bennett also had similar concerns about Harvey's statement and authored a lettertotheForestService detailing the county's willingness to continue working with the agencyregarding travel management and the forest revision plan.

During Wednesday's meeting the discussion broached many topics including questionstotheForestService

by Bennett regarding the m appingprocessthat'spartof the TMP. He talked about maps providedtotheForestService by the county that several volunteers had worked on.

"I just want to be able to be assured that those maps are included in the discussion as the baselineforthe startofa discussion of what's going to be dosed or open," Bennett SRld.

Montoya said that the mapping information that the public and county had provided was induded in the current baseline maps that have been produced.

Thatinformation came kom a group of Baker County citizens who submitted their findings after more than 2,000 hours of volunteer work surveying roads in the count's national forestroads.

Bennett explained that there are still discrepancies in the maps.

Montoya said the only way to resolve those issues is to "sit down with the maps and looking at them road byroad."

Harvey asked"In that effort, can we have ourfolkssit in with your team and do that together?"

Montoya replied"Certainly."

Harvey asked about the status of the Snow Basin logging project in eastern Baker County.

Montoya said there hasn't been time to meet with the regional office to decide where that project, which has been derailed by a legal challenge,

OREGON BRIEFING Cylvia Hayes' email case goes before judge NFL DRAFT

• Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is top overall pick, going to Tampa Bay

By Teresa M. Walker Ap Sports VVrtter

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The Tennessee Titans hope they got it right this time with Oregon's Marcus Mariota, their third try at landing a franchise quarterback in the past decade.

The Titans selected the Heisman Trophy winner No. 2 overall pick Thursday night after starting three quarterbacks last season, benching Jake Locker in October and replacing him with rookie Zach Mettenberger. But he lost his six starts, and the Titans couldn't afford to pass up Mariota with Charlie Whitehurst the only veteran quarterback on the roster.

General manager Ruston Webstersaid otherteams offered"multiple" picks to move up to the No. 2 spot.

The Titans refused to budge with four picks in the top 100, believing they drafted the quarterback that can turn around a team that went 2-14 in 2014.

"It was going to be difficult to convince us to back out,"Webstersaid.t We had conversations with different teams, but nothing to the point of us not picking Marcus."

M ariota could startthe season opener Sept. 13 at Tampa Bay against the top pick, Jameis Winston.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.

(AP) — The San Francisco 49ers are stockpiling defensive linemen, and they hardly expect first-round pick Arik Armstead to be polished right away.

Uncertain whether Justin Smith will play again this season, and with Ray McDonald already long gone, the 49ers were searching for another potential pass-rusher with a big body.

Armstead brings that imposing frame at 6-foot-8 and 292 pounds. Now, the Oregon star's task is to become better fast at getting to the quarterback in a division full of talented play-callers.

Ban on drones for hunting advances SALEM (APl — A bill banning the use of drones in hunting and fishing is on its way to Gov. Kate Brown.

The Senate backed the bill unanimously on Thursday after the House approved it last month without opposition.

Sporting groups that requested the bill say using drones is an aflront to the hunting principle of a fair chase. Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, a lobby group, says eight states have enacted drone bans.

SALEM (APl — A lawyer for former Oregon first lady Cylvia Hayes is scheduled to plead his case before a Salem judge who is considering whether Hayes must release her emails that deal with public business.

Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum ruled earlier this year that Hayes must disclose the emails from her personal accounts to the Oregonian, which requested them under Oregon's public records law. Hayes filed suit against the newspaper in an effort to block the attorney general's order.

The intersection between Hayes'work for the state and for private consulting clients is at the heart of the influence-peddling controversy that led her fiancee, John Kitzhaber, to resign as governor in February.

buyers accustomed to such New York/Los Angeles-style luxuries have responded well, Gutman said.

Building concierges — who make dinner reservations and walk the dog — and 24hour security have become almost standard for the highest-end projects. At the One Thousand Museum tower, for example, each unit will come with a safety deposit box in a bank-style vault next to the building's security room. aWe've seen people focusing more on the lifestyle that comes with living in one of these buildings than on the actual units," Gutman said. aWe have a lot of New York buyers looking for second and third homes down here, and they're pretty much demanding the same levelofservice they'd get up there."

The Grande Tour started approximately seven years ago. The 134-mile two-day tour begins in La Grande to Baker City and then makes the return trip home. Shown here are Dwayne Christman, Cilla Coe, Kent Coe, Mary Ellen LaBerge, Anita Metlen, Kim Metlen, Joshua Russell, Vernita Ediger Art Greer and Steve Antell before Day 2 of the 2012 ride.

A two day, 134-mile bike tour is taking place tomorrow and Sunday for those adventurous enough to pedal more than 60 miles per day.

The Grande Tour along the Oregon Scenic Bikeway will begin in La Grande and travel to Baker City and back. A group of 60 to 70 bicyclists generally participate at thisevent,said Mavis Hartz, coowner of Mountain Works Bicycles, which partnered with the Union

County Chamber of Commerce to organize this event.

The Oregon Scenic Bikeway is compiled of many bicycle trails created by local communities and organizations. The Grande Tour eventisa fundraiserto promote the bikeway while also raising money for the upkeep and signage along the path, Hartz said.

Participants will meet at Riverside Park between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and then will begin their journey.

'There's not a lot of traffic,a Hartz saidofthetrail."It'sgood pavement, low traffrc.a While it's not a requirement to be an expert bicyclist, Hartz said it's not for the faint ofheart.

"It's for everyone, within reason," Hartzsaid.'There'san assisted ride available to bicyclists. Food and water is provided along the way."

Hartzsaid some peopleoptoutof pedaling through certain areas in the route.

Some sections are very hilly and

containlong grades ofm oderate elevation.

The groupisresponsible forfood and their accommodations, she said.

There will be stops in North Powder as well for food and then the group will stay overnight in Baker City.

This bikeway is available year round for anyone who wants the challenge, Hartz said. And this isn't the only bicycling event.

Knowing filtration:a lookatsomeoStions ' tering water is important. It also can be tedious, inconvenient and/or taste funny.

But if you don't follow through on it, things can get very uncomfortable very fast, which is not a recipe for fun in the backcounfry. It's a generally agreed upon fact that Eastern Oregon has some of the best water in the world, and they are right, but this doesn't mean you shouldn't filter the water you pull directly from the source. I've talked to a lot of people who believe it's best to go without the filter ifyou pull it from flowing water, but I've also talked to a lot of people who don't do that anymore because they learned the lesson the hard way.

Unfortunately, we're closing in on the summer season and water filters are among the most confusing pieces of outdoor equipment to buy. Just as you've heard in this column

Tying flies, sharing memories afishing ith trout season right around the corner iMay 23 is the opener on the Grande Ronde and Wallowa rivers), I've been tying a lot of flies. Grubby ones, buggy ones, fishy ones and ones tied out of dog hair called "Berkley Specials." My fellow compatriots in this fly-tyingendeavor have been composed most recently of three eighth-graders who can't seem to get enough of fishing, whether it is throwing feed to hatchery trout or stalking them on local waterways.

While tying flies, memories of past fishing exploits are often shared between us. And of all the different species the four of us have fished for, including local favorites on the Snake like crappie and bass,the magic word, itseems, issteelhead. Always steelhead. And being a bit of a steelhead pursuer myself, I understand the draw.

Though since steelhead season closed on April 15, I've felt a bit of a void in my life. I've tried to fill that void with lawn care and house work, but for some reason I keep taking walks along our localrivers.I've even tried barbecue from the Pit Stop right on Highway 82 as you pass through Wallowa and burgers from the Lostine Tavern and Little Bear, and while it has all been awfully tasty, I've got a hunger that food just can't seem to touch.

In order to fill that void, Boone HerSee Scott/Page 2C

Baker County:Look for bears close to timber stringers feeding on open ridges.

Successful hunters need to remember to check in their bear within ten days of harvest.

It cannot be frozen and propping open the mouth will help in aiding tooth collection later.

Wallowa County:In spring, black bears are fair weather fellows and really only venture out of their dens on warm, sunny days. The best strategy for finding them this time of year is to sit on a spot with a good view of open canyon sides and use binoculars or a spotting scope to locate them.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be hosting four local meetings this month seeking public input on its plan to use rotenone to help remove unwanted fish from arealakes and ponds.The me etings this week will be at 5:30 p.m. May 4 at the Baker County Library in Baker Cityand 5:30 p.m. May6at Cloverleaf Hall in Enterprise.

A few of them in the Northeastern corner of Oregon — likeMurray Reservoir, Morgan Lake, Willow Creek Reservoir, and Marr and Weaver ponds — have recently been stocked. There should also be some good fishing for holdover trout in Wallowa Lake if you find yourself trailering a boat.

By Tara Bannow WesCom News Service

New data on individual health insurance enrollment at the beginning of this year show Oregonians paid a lot of attention to cost when they chose their plans.

LifeWise Health Plan of Oregon, which had sold only about4,700Affordable Care Act-compliant plans as of last September, saw the biggest jump in customers this year: about 68 percent. The company now has nearly 37,000 individual market enrollees. LifeWise cut its premiums by more than 11 percentfrom 2014 tothis year, which likely explains

Oregonians did not have this option, as those who enrolled through Cover Oregon last year had to re-enroll through HealthCare.gov this year.

Moda Health still dominates Oregon's individual market, although it did lose

some enrollees in 2015, likely due to its slightly higher premiums this year. Moda's premiums increased an average of nearly 11 percent in 2015. The company now has nearly 101,400 individual m arket enrollees,a drop of about12 percent from last year.

Other company's enrollment fluctuations aligned with fluctuations in their premiums as well.

Providence Health Plan and Oregon's Health CO-OP also saw significant enrollment increases after cutting their individual market premiums by about 10 percent each.

It's time again for some serious "tick talk" — yes, ticks are active at temps above 40 degrees, and they are looking for blood hosts.

In mid-April, I received my own creepy-crawly wake-up call when I noticed a lump like a scab on the crown of my head. I instinctively picked it off, not initially thinking of ticks, but there it was in my hand, alive, healthy and complete with eight barbed,

Honoring the work of

medical lab professionals It's that time of year again! While most of usassociateAprilwith taxes,thelatter half of the month also brings with it an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions of a dedicated, but mostly unsung, group ofhealthcare professionals. Since 1975, the American Society for Clinical Pathology and other organizations have promoted National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, or Lab Week, as an opportunity for the community to learn m ore about how the lab servesallofus.

Locally, the clinical laboratories of the Grande Ronde Hospital and the Regional Medical Center depend on a team of 36 phlebotomists, clinical laboratory scientists, and pathologists to perform over 135,000 tests each year. Every day, the labreceives tubes ofblood,throatswabs, and containers of urine. Most tests are routine blood counts, chemistries, and microbiology studies. Matt Leckenby, a phlebotomist, recalls,"Sometimes a mother will bring a diaper full of poop to the window."

Othertestsareperformed lessoften.

Last year, the main laboratory at GRH introduced a highly-reliable automated semen analysis instrument that can measure fertility in just 70 seconds.

Numerous tissues, ranging from skin shavesand colon polyps to breastmasses andamputated toes,are received in the histology section. Here specimens are described by shape, size, color and texturebefore being sliced and placed onto glass slides for microscopic review.

The process of converting a lump of flesh into one or more slides usually requires about 24 hours. However, if a surgeon sees something during an operation that may change the approach to a case, he or she may request a frozen section in which a piece of suspicious mass is sprayed with an aerosol to harden it enough to be cut and placed onto slides.

A pathologist can often give the surgeon a diagnosis within 20 minutes.

Producing the slides that pathologists need to make those diagnoses is both an art and a science. Detailed staining protocols, or recipes, highlight diferent areasofthem icroscopiclandscape,such as the collagen of sun-damaged skin or the fungus growing between toes.

Murder of La Grande native remains amysterymore than 20yearslater

ouise Goodenow and Kendra Gregory were bosom friends who had turned to each other for help and support throughout their adult lives.

The two first met in junior high in La Grande. They became close friends in high school and they had kept in contact off and on through the years, until the summer of 1994 when Kendra went missing, Louise said.

She wasn't overly concerned at first when Kendra seemingly disappeared that summer from eastern Baker County, where she had been living. eHer life was unstable," Louise said."I kind ofhad a feeling she had gone back to the (oregonl coast with Mr. Maurmann."

That was Kendra's husband, Jeff Maurmann, whom she married in 1993.

But Louise said she had her own issues to deal with at the time, and months slipped away without contact with her friend.

Louise said she and Kendra's sister, Joann Callender, who also lives in La Grande, met See Kendra / Page 3D .

endra Dee Maurmann went missing in the summer of 1994.

But because Kendra wasn't well known in the Richland and Halfway areas of eastern Baker County where she'd been living for a time, and becauseher lifestyledidn't depend on a predictable schedule, she wasn't immediately missed by many.

Indeed, Kendra was never reported missing to authorities.

Kendra, whose maiden name was Gregory, grew up in La Grande and graduated from La Grande High School in 1971. She had also gone by the names Kendra Thorpe and Kendra Collier after her marriages in 1973 and in 1992.

It wasn't unusual for Kendra to hitchhike between Halfway and Richland or even to take up with a truck driver to travel around seeing the sights, according to police who investigated her murder.

Itwas asifshedisappeared from the Panhandle communities of Baker County that summer more than 20 years ago — but not forever.

About nine months after she was last seen, as the weather was beginning to soften and the mushrooms were poking their heads up through the forest floor, she reappeared.

But not in the"free-spirited" form for which she was known.

Instead, Kendra's remains —badlydecayed and unrecognizable — were discovered by mushroom hunters who found more than theywere prepared to look at on their trek into the Wallowa Mountains near New Bridge on April 4, 1995.

Identification that was buried with the body, along with dental records, confirmed that it was Kendra's remains that had been found.

Baker County SherifFTravis Ash, who had gmwn up in the Haifway-Oxbow area, was attending Western Oregon University at Monmouth when the mushmom hunters found a portion of Kendra's body pmtrudingf'mm a shallow grave atAnson Flat that spring.

And now, 20 years later, with a solid law enforcement career under his belt and havingjust been appointed as sherifFto replacetheretired Mitch Southwick, Ash has found himself taking another look at one of Baker County's few, and its most recent, unsolved murder.

Ash and other investigators are hoping that new investigative techniques and advancedforensictechnology might lead to a resolution of the case.

An autopsy conducted in 1995 showed Kendra was shotoncein the head and sufferedsevereblunt force trauma to the head, Ash said.

The gun was never recovered.

While recouping fmm a bout of illness that kept him home for several days recently, Ash spent four hours poringover detailscontained in a thick black binder that logs the history of the investigation.

Kendra, whom Ash describesas"very religious,"was last seen the night of July 14 at the Long Branch Tavern in Richland with Gary Holland, whom she'd been living with for a short time, Ash said.

The couple were at the bar with a mutual friend, Barry Williams, who lived on East Eagle Creek north of Richland.

While they were drinking, somethinghappened between Holland and Kendra.

'They had a disagreement over money — $20 — that she had given to the church,"

together, Holland remembers that he and Kendra had dinner at the home of Mike and Rusty Lattin. Kendra had goneto the home ofPastor Bill and Anne Shields at Halfway to get cleaned up beforehand because Holland's trailer had no running water.

He and Kendra went to the bar together after dinner.

Holland said Kendra told him the pastor had advised her"to reform" and to quit spending time with Holland, Williams and others like them. s.

In recalling their last night land has his own theories

about what happened to his girlfriend in the summer of 1994, but they have not led to a resolution of the murder.

Following up Investigators will continue to follow any new leads that develop in the case, Ash said.

Examination of clothing left in a vehicle the night Kendra disappearedmight provide new information through the use of advanced technology, but time is of the essence.

"People are dying,"Ash said.'We're losing our witnesses and potential witnesses and suspects."

Even some investigators have died and still others have retired.

David Pollentier, an OSP detective who was involved in the case, died of cancer in 2005 at the age of 59. Ken Dunleavy, Baker County SherifF's Department undersherifFwhen Kendra's body was found, died in March 2012 at the age of 60. Three difFerent sheriffshave served over the past 20 years: Terry Speelman, Troy Hale and Mitch Southwick.

Ray Berryman, who retired from the Oregon State Police in 1999 as a district criminal sergeant, worked with Pollentier, the OSP crime lab and the sherifFs office on Kendra's case. ''We discussed suspects and potential suspects and leads," Berryman said."But I wasn't involved in the intricaciesoftheinvestigation."

Again, Kendra's lifestyle

hampered progress. ''We talked to several people early on," Berryman said."But we never had a lead suspect."

And all leads hit a dead end.

'There was nothing we could take action on," Berryman sRld.

Leaving a case unsolved doesn't set well with investigators.

'You don't care for that," Berryman said.'You hope the evidence will be there, but sometimes there isn't enough evidence to lead you to a conclusion.

"It's frustrating, but you have to move on. There are other cases you have to sink your teeth into," he said.

Still, DNA is used to solve "old, old cases," Berryman noted.

'There are deathbed confessions, people in jail talk to others, "he said."A lotof things open up cases all the time."

OSP Sgt. Dave Aydelotte, who was promoted from his detective job in Baker City to patrolsergeant and moved to Gold Beach in November 2014, was asked to take another look at Kendra's case most recently. An OSP analyst also went through the files, developed a timeline and made recommendations.

"As homicides happen and suspects aren't developed, they get put on the back burner,"Aydelotte said.'With enough passage of time, thesethings don'tgeta lotof attention."

This 10-week series will take readers through 11 casesofhomicides and disappearances.

April 3:

3ama Harms Harms, a 19-year-old assistant manager and former college student, was found slain in her downtown La Grande apartment in October 1995.

April 10:

Leona Kinsey Leona Kinsey, a 45-year-old mother who ran a local landscaping business, disappeared from La Grande in October 1999 without a trace, and today few — if any — traces have been found.

April 17: Sylvia Heitstuman Law enforcement exhausted their efforts but despite it all, the most challenging aspect of Sylvia Heitstuman's case is the fact that she knew so many people.

Leads in the case are all dead ends.

April 24:

Doug Van Leuven At 20 years old, Van Leuven had his whole life before him when he was suddenly — and seemingly purposelyhit by a car.

Today: Kendra Maurmann A shallow grave containing the body of 42-year-old Kendra Dee Maurmann was discovered by mushroom hunters on April 4, 1995, on Eagle Creek north of New Bridge in northeastern Baker County. She had been buried several months earlier.

May 8: The cases of Helen Lovely and Phay Eng The daughter of Helen Lovely wants the person who killed her in 1945 to see what she looked like.

Commercial mushroom picker Phay Eng was killed on a lonely forest road high in the mountains above Elgin in June 1993.

May 15: Kristin Schmidt Police suspect that Kristin Alice Schmidt was the victim of a serial killer. She was found at Hilgard State Park.

May 22:

Isaac Roberts Isaac Roberts, an Idaho man, disappeared without a trace during the 2012 Chief Joseph Days Rodeo.

May 29: Lia Szubert Police investigating the June1987 death of 22-year-old Lia Szubert have many more questions than answers today. She was found down an embankment east of La Grande.

briefly at a drug store in La Grande some time after either had last heard kom Kendra.

"She said,'Have you heard anything kom Kendra? I'm beginning to be concerned,' " Louise remembers.

Soon afterward, in early April 1995, the media reported that an unidentified body had been found in a shallow grave in Baker County.

"It all came together," Louise said."I felt fairly certain it was her."

She thought it odd that she hadn't heard kom Kendra on her birthday in September 1994, or that Kendra hadn't done something for her son's birthday in October.

Kendra's son, Theodore 'Ted" Thorpe, 38, likewise did not think much of his mother being gone for a long period in 1994, until his 18th birthday rolled around.

Then came Christmas and still she did not attempt to contact her children.

Ted's older sister, Dee Dee Jo Thorpe, 40, is disabled and lives in the Portland area.

"I don't talk with my sister," he said.'The last time I saw her was at my wedding 10 years ago."

In remembering his mother, Ted described her as "very religious and very outspoken."

"She would say what was on her mind even if it offendedother people."

When his parents divorced in 1991, it was a relief from years of conflict, Ted said. His mother was always coming and going and was in and out of their home, bringing other men with her while she was still married, Ted said.

"It wasn't the typical growing up childhood of Mom and Dad," he said."It was Mom and Dad and others."

His mother's behavior impressed upon him the importance ofbeing faithful in a relationship, he said.

"I never, ever want to see a couple go through that situation," he said. "I think it is morally every sort of wrong that could be."

In spite ofher flaws as a parent and her unconventional understanding ofbeing a Christian, Ted remembers his mother as a very giving person.

"People who were homeless ... if she had two dollars to her name, she would give it away," he said, sometimes even to the detriment ofher family.

He also recalled how his mother liked to write, and how she often used coffee shop napkins as the stationeryforherpoems orletters.

And he is grateful that his mother attended church with her children every Sunday.

That ended, however, when Kendra and her husband separated around 1988, when Ted was 12 and his sister was 14.

"She instilled faith, religion, God," he said."She m ade me knowaboutitand made it a part of my life. I'm grateful that it is a part of my life."

Ted has one biological son — Garrett Kenneth Thorpe, 10 — with his wife, Amanda, 37,and isstepfather to her three children — Lily Laurence, 15; Morgan Laurence, 18; and James Laurence, 20 — kom a previous marriage who he's helped raise for the past 12 years.

His family attends Crossroads Community Church in La Grande where his wife is part of the worship team and teaches Sunday school classes.

Ted's father, Homer Thorpe, shares his family's home, and his aunt, Joann Callender, lives next door.

He said it's his hope that a story about the murder of his mother will help spark some remembrance that might bringresolution tothecase.

"I would like some closure on it," he said.'That's the biggest thing.

"But I will leave it in God's hands. Ifhe wants the person found,he willbe found,"Ted said."I'm a strong enough person of faith, either way, I can live with it."

He added that family is important to him and he regrets that his mother isn't aroundtocelebrate holidays and birthdays and that she's not alive to get to know her grandchildren.

Kendra's remains were cremated and some ofher ashes w ere scatt ered atW estEagle Meadows, a place in the Wallowa Mountains she enjoyed visiting, her son said.

The rest ofher ashes are stored at the Thorpe home in ahandmade urn that Ted createdforthatpurpose.

"It's something that I have that I can remember my mom by. That she's part of my life," he said.

Ted's aunt, Joann Callender, said talking about Kendrabroughtback painful memories and she preferred not to share many details.

"She had a hard life — she did," Callender said, declining toelaborate."She has alotof family that misses her."

Kendra, who was three years older than Callender, was "a wanderer," her sister said."And she was always

wanting to help people."

Kendra's longtime fiiend, Louise, on the other hand, while protective of her fiiend's memory and Kendra's surviving family members' feelings, mailed to the Baker City Herald six typed pagesdetailing thechanges she saw in her friend through the years.

Louise talked about Kendra as a teenager and her life in La Grande as a college student, wife and young mother, and finally, as the middle-aged woman who was killed in Baker County.

Louise said Kendra blamed her behavioral changes on an incident at a 24-hour doughnut shop in La Grande where Kendra had gone to write poetry and drink co6ee late one rnght earher m her first marriage. She said Kendra told her that she believed someone had slipped drugs into her drink when she got up to use the restroom, causing herto become disoriented and confused.

Louise, on the other hand, thinks Kendra might, instead, have had a physical problem such as a seizure or a stroke.

"Whatever happened to Kendra that night in the doughnut shop, it seemed to be the beginning of a strong personality change that eventuallyescalated and probably led ultimately to her death," Louise wrote.

Kendra graduated kom La Grande High School in 1971.

Louisegraduated ayearlater.

h

We weren't the popular kids," Louise said."Several of us were kind of good kiends.

We were just different. She was fun. She was a good person."

Kendra's father, Kenneth Gregory, had moved to La Grande after serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, according to his obituary kom May 1994. He owned and operated Gregory's Automotive Repair on the Island City strip for more than 40 years.

Kendra's mother, Jessie Gregory, died on Aug. 5, 1985, in La Grande at the age of 59 kom complicati ons related to diabetes.

Kendra married her first husband, Homer Thorpe, in June 1973, according to Union County Clerk's 0$ce records.

In January 1992, Kendra married John Collier of La Grande. They were divorced

by July of that year, court records state.

Kendra wrote kee-form poetry. And if she were still alive today, Louise imagines how she would enjoy blogging and communicating via the Internet.

She also was musical and had a nice singing voice.

Kendra wrote this heartfelt message for Louise on the backofher seniorportrait: "I don't know what to write.

Most write corny little messages like'you're a good kid — stay cool' but you mean more to me than that. 111 just say I love you and hope you

get your share of the sunshine and good life. Dandelion wishes."

Speaking at Kendra's memorial service, exactly 20years ago,on May1, 1995, Louise explained that Kendra"embodied the idea of Flower Power — that the peace and beauty of flowers and nature can overcome the violence oflife."

For Kendra, dandelions represented her personal symbol of Flower Power, Louisetold those gathered to honor Kendra's memory.

"Shesaidmost peoplesee the dandelion as just a weed — to be dug up, poisoned, even hated," Louise said in her tribute."But she saw the beauty in the sunny flowers and hope in the flufFy seeds thatare made tofl y on a gentlebreezeor thepuffofa child's breath."

Louise said Kendra loved disheartened people in the same way she loved dandelions:"She found no weeds in the garden ofhumanity.

There were only misunderstoodbeings thatcould again be useful if they developed self-esteem, were nurtured or cared for."

Her fiiend was creative, artistic and a prolific writer, Louise said. Kendra wanted to write children's stories.

"She absolutely never used drugs, and alcohol only sparingly" Louise said.

In fact, she had not known Kendra to drink alcohol during thelastdecade ofher life.

Over a period of years, Kendra earned a teaching degree at Eastern Oregon University and worked as a substitute teacher in Union County schools for several years.

During her keshman year ofcollege,another incident took place that would impact the rest ofher life as well.

Kendra was sexually assaulted, beaten, terrorized and stalked by a young man she'd met in class, Louise said.

That, combined with the later doughnut shop incident, eventually led to Kendra's transformation back to the "hippie lifestyle she enjoyed in high school," Louise wrote.

A former agnostic, Kendra became "hyper-religious."

"She preached on the street and to anybody who would listen. And she would rebuke anybody if she thought they were doing something wrong," Louise said.

"She would give you the shirt otFher back if you asked for it," she added."She embraced charity and poverty, visiting prisoners and the sick. She embraced the very best of religion."

She had hoped for the establishment of a mission for the homeless in La Grande.

At the same time, "in a twisted embrace of feminism she became involved with a number of men," and she believed strongly in the "no means no" standard for rape and expected men she was with to respectthatstandard, Louise said.

Sometime in the year before Kendra died, the two fiiends prayed for the man who had sexually assaulted Kendra. That same man had caused great trouble in Louise's life as well, she said.

Forgiveness came to them both that day, she said. ''We felt God had been with us," Louise said.

A short time later, Kendra told her friend she planned to hitchhike to West Eagle Meadows where she would "camp out, read the Bible, write, pray and think."

"She wanted to be alone, she said, and she didn't want to be around any men. A short time after that she was dead," Louise wrote.

"She was kind and decent and a good person even to the end," she said.'Things just went wrong in her life."

• Mushroomers found bones in flat near Baker County's Eagle Creek

By Chris Collins WesCom News Service

nson Flatis a beautiful wide spot just off Eagle Creek Road that provides a tranquil respite for travelers in the southern Wallowa Mountains.

In springtime, the green flat is graced with blooming wildflowers. And there's a fire pit for hunters and campers to gather around to take the chill off a cool night in the mountains.

Anson Flat, about eight miles north of New Bridge and 32airm ilesnortheastof Baker City, is where mushroom hunters discovered the body of Kendra Dee Maurmann on April 4, 1995.

Her forearms were protruding from a shallow gravethathad been partially unearthed by animals pawing in the dirt, said Eldon Deardorff, who was among the first to uncover the body.

Authorities believe the grave,attheedge ofa thick growth of spike-bearing hawthorn bushes, had been dug about nine months earlier.

Deardorff, who'll turn 80 in three months, lives along Eagle Creek Road, about four miles from where the body was found. He remembers that day 20 years ago when women who had been mushroom hunting came to get his w ife's help afterdiscovering some bones buried up Eagle Creek.

He said Marge, his wife of 57 years who died last year, called on him to help examine the site.

As a former federal hunter, Eldon said he was very familiar with decomposed bones.

"I thought I saw where somebody had buried a deer carcass" Eldon recalled.

FROMTHE REPORTER

I was working part-time as a Baker City Herald reporter and wrote the stories thatoffered scant information as it was releasedby authorities about the woman whose body was found bymushroomers in a shallow grave near New Bridge in eastern Baker County.

As Baker County's only cold murder case in recent years, it was obvious Kendra would be the subject of the story produced by the Herald for this series. And becauseIam thereporter who generally covers crime, it was obvious that I would get the assignment.

Of course, the name Kendra Maurmann was easy to recall when the subject of unsolved murders came up among our staff. But the woman behindthe name had remained a mystery to all of us in the newsroom over the years.

It wasn't until I began tointerview people for thesestoriesthatIlearned — or maybe I had forgotten — that Kendra wasn't a transient whose bad luck happened to bring her to Baker County to meet an untimely death, as I had somehow thought all these years.

Her father, Kenneth, who died just a few months before she disappeared in the summer of 1994, lived at Halfway. Kendra and her third husband, Jeff Maurmann, were married there and they had stayed at Halfway with her father for a periodoftim e.

Few detail swerereleased

Baker County SheriffTravis Ash, left, and Eldon Deardorff stand in front of a grove of hawthorn bushes at Anson Flat, where the remains of Kendra Dee Maurmann were found near here. The actual site is no longer visible.

But as he began to uncover the grave, he and the others realized that, though badly decomposed, the remains in the shallow grave were those of a human.

Eldon said he discovered a piece of underwear that he at first thought was a bra.

His wife informed him that it was instead a pair of panties. A pair of jeans also was buried with the body.

"A person could wrap deer bones in Levis or whatever," Eldon said."They could have thrown in panties — but when I pulled them open, here was a billfold.

"That's when everything stopped," he said.'That's when we called law enforcement."

Deardorff said the billfold contained Kendra Maurmann's identification and a

$1 bill.

He stayed at the site and his wife and the others went to report what they'd found.

Deardorff said Maurmann was a friend ofhis friend, Gary Holland of Richland.

"I'd met her," Deardorff said, "but I never really

banged shoulders with her."

Though unsettling, Eldon said he and his wife rem ained unrumed by theexperience offinding thebody. eWe've been around a lot of that," he said.

He and Marge owned and operated the Cornucopia Pack Station for 24 years.

"I've packed nine bodies out of these mountains," Eldon said during a return trip to Anson Flat last month.

He and his wife worked closely with the Baker County Sheriff's Office and search and rescue over the years. Eldon led the Posse as captain the same year thatMarge was elected to lead the women's group, the Possettes.

The Deardorffs didn't know that Maurmann hadn't been seen in the area for several months when they found her body that day.

"I hadn't heard she was missing," Eldon said."The way I heard it she was sort of here, there and everywhere.

She'd be gone for a while and then she'd be back for a while."

TTte episode will be performed twice dnt night, so dnt boA Ae East Coast and West Coast truly see it live, and executive producer Bill Lawrence is ready for anything dnt may happen. At least, he Ainks he is.

"It would be daunting to write an hour-long episode," Ae veteran of"Spin City" and "Cougar Town" allows, "except what we'll do is write a normal half-hour episode and leave plenty of room for what 6ese young men and women do.

I'm sure it wont get daunting until we get on

i I c

stage and rehearse, and I see Aese knuckleheads trying to make each oAer laugh and do improv

as Aey usually do."

Among Ae "knuckleheads" are Chris D'Elia and Brent Morin as roommates Danny and Justin, typically seen wi& oAer comrades at Justin's struggling bar. Fellow "Un<tateable" star Bianca Kajlich plays Danny's sister Leslie; she performed in front ofstudio audiences during her seven seasons on CBS' "Rules of Engagement," but dnt show never was broadcast live.

"I remember dnt I did a play once," Kajlich says, "and I Aought I was going to 6row up all over myselfbefore I went on stage. I was like, 'I'vebeen acting for over a decade. How can I be getting Ais nervous?' And you realize dnt when you're doing some&ing live, you have Ae bufFer dnt 6e audience enjoys it when you screw up. It actually brings a new energy into Ae space."
