Oregon, 5A SALEM (APj — Motorists traveling along rural roads in Oregon are one step closer to being able to pump their own gas. But, under a bill passed unanimously by the House, gas station operators in remote sections of the state, including Baker County, could choose to keep their stations open when no owner, operator or employee is around the pump gas for customers. The bill, House Bill 3011, now heads to the Senate.

• How much revenue Baker City and Baker County would receive depends on whether sales bans remain in eA'ect, possible action by Legislature By Joshua Dillen ld}llen©bakerc}tyherald.com
When commercial sales of recreational marijuana begin in Oregon in 2016, the state will collect an excise tax as allowed under voter-approved Measure 91. If Baker City and Baker County still have ordinances in place that ban the commercial sales of marijuana, they will miss out on most of that tax revenue.. Under Measure 91 — pending possible changes by the Oregon Legislature this year — marijuana will be taxed at $35 dollars per ounce of flowers ibudsl, $10 per ounce of leaves and $5 per immature plant when sales start in 2016.

For the Baker City Herald
Bishop Thomas J. Connolly was a man who would take you rock hunting, help dig your car out of the snow, and travel the backroads of Baker County to say Mass at a cow camp. "He was~ust one of the folks," says Francis Mohr of Baker City, a loagiime fiiend. "He was a dedicated, devout and beloved priest-bishop, known and respected in the community and a fiiend of all." Connolly, 92, died April 24 at Maryville Nursing Home in BeaVerlnn. HiS funeral submitted photo Mass was celebrated B ishop Thomas Friday, followedby Con n o l ly burial at Mount Hope Cemetery.

Blain LeaMaster, Baker City Department of PublicWorks employee, removes the root system of one of several dead, flowering plum trees along the east side of Basche-Sage Place, at the corner of Main and Broadway streets. Tim Shively, a city employee also working on the project, saidThursday that a total of five trees will be removed at the site. Mike Kee, city manager, said the plums were to be replaced Friday with crab apple trees and an assortment of others offering colorful fall foliage. Baker City celebrated its 30th year as a Tree City USA last week in a predictable, but wholly appropriate, way. By planting several trees. More specifically, city crews helped replace five flowering plum and cherry trees that were dyingalong Main and Broadway streets in the downtown historic district.
Owners and employees of stores in the Basche-Sage Place and the Baker Food Co-op, along with the Baker City Tree Board, participated in the effort. City workers removed the trees and enlarged the sidewalk tree wells to give the roots of the new trees more space. Workers also installed a plastic root barrierto prevent therootsfrom
buckling the sidewalks. To qualify as a Tree City USA, the Arbor Day Foundation requires cities to appoint a tree boardand to adopt a tree-maintenance ordinance. Just five Oregon cities beat Baker City's 30-year run: Salem

Former Baker City Police Lt. Kirk McCormick's interest in studying two unsolved local murders dating to the 1940s was piqued in 2005 by the publication of a book that was loosely based on one of the murders. The death of Catherine Douglass in 1948 inspired the novel"Baker City 1948" written by George Byron Wright, who traveled through Baker City to promote the book. McCormick, who moved to South Dakota in late April to become police

chief in the town of Scotland, said he first was given the go-ahead to pursue the cases — as time allowed — by Bob Mason, the city's chief of police from 2004 to 2006. McCormick "I learned a lot of history, but I didn't clear any cases," McCormick said ofhis investigation. "It was fascinating to look into history and how many collaterally involved were still around," he said. The first unsolved murder, the shooting of Lilah Mack, happened on

She died about 9 o'clock on the night of March 6 while walking down Second Street on the way to her home at 2535 Third St. The newspaper reported that Mack, who had worked at the Western Union Telegraph company for the past three years, had eaten dinner ata downtown cafe and then headed home.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 4, 1965 The Baker District 5J Board of Education decided Monday to proceed with remodeling to Baker High swim pool at a cost about $10,000 less than the bid of $31,300 submitted April 27 by Fred Witham. It is the first major repair work undertaken at the pool since it was constructed about15 years ago. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 4, 1990 The U.S. Forest Service has unveiled plans to spend nearly $55 million on tourist facilities within the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area over the next five years. The much-debatedimprovement plan hasbeen long delayed by federal budget constraints. Earlier this year, the General Accounting Office criticized the Forest Service for failing to develop a number of national recreation areas, including Hells Canyon, as mandated by Congress. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 4, 2005 Mayor Charles Hofmann said the proposal he unveiled Tuesday to limit pay raises for Baker City's 17 non-union workers, and cap the amount the city will pay for their health insurance, is not intended to punish the employees, most of whom are department heads or not supervisor's. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 5, 2014 A dispute between the Baker County YMCA and a local contractor regarding a project to remodel the former Wilson's Market — now the YMCA's Fitness Center on Pocahontas Road — is over. Baker County YMCA CEOHeidi Dalton said Friday that the legal negotiations between the YMCA and Gyllenberg Construction Inc., had been resolved outside of the court system. Because the matter was settled outside of court, the details of the agreement have not been publicly announced. "It's been resolved, settled out of court. All the liens havebeen removed," Dalton saidtoday.
First-TimeEasternOregonGardener TaKesAGamdle
By Joshua Dillen ]dillen©bakercityherald.com
Gambling with kost. That's a good way to describe my first attempt at vegetable gardening in Baker City. I'm not a betting manaside kom the occasional lottery ticket purchase — but with the unseasonably warm springthisyear,Ifelttheodds were in my favor. Bynomeans am I an expert gardener. I have had mediocre to great luckin my gardening endeavors over the past 15 or 20 years. Except for two years at about4,000 feetin elevation — with very limited success — my vegetable plots have enjoyed very mild weather and given me fairly bountiful harvests. But they've had the benefit of spring weather that one could sayis almost tropical comparedto thetypicalspring in Eastern Oregon. I knew I would have to contend with kost if I started a garden here. The sensible gardener would probably do some research to determine local kost dates and check soil temperatureand otherrational preplantingtasksthatresponsible gardeners would do. And sow their seeds accordingly. Not me. I had to ride a thin kosty line. The risk was only a few dollars worth of seeds. After all, if I had some sprouts succumb to the kost, I could just plant more. It seemed like a small wager. I did half-heartedly solicit advicekom localgardenerswhich I pretty much ignored because it was not what I wanted to hear. '%ait till June 1st or after Mother's Day," they said. Yeah — I'm one of those people who asks for advice and then doesn't heed it. I have to do things my own way.

Gov. Brown wants pot-tracking system By Taylor W. Anderson VVesCom News Service
SALEM — Gov. Kate Brown on Friday addedpressureto a group oflawmakers working to regulate Oregon's medical marijuana market, saying she wants the state to require a tracking system that follows marijuana from the dayit's planted to the dayit's sold. Brown wrote she supports the system, known as seed-to-sale, in a letter to members of the joint legislative committee tasked with regulating marijuana before possession becomes legalforadultsJuly 1. Seed-to-sale tracking would add costs for medical marijuana growers and processors, Brown said. But she wrote she believes"anything short of a stmng tracking system"would resultin lostrevenue that would otherwise come to the state through the recreational market. "I have become convinced that a successful recreational market depends in large part on a medical marijuana programthatisreasonablyregulated," Brown wrote Friday. "I fear that a self-reporting system of trackingis not sufficientlyreliable to enable state agencies to enforce regulations being proposed regardmg plant and possession limits," she wrote. Lawmakers had before considered requiring medical marijuana gmwers to self-report monthly to the state, which is not currentlyrequired. Brown also indicated she would support helping mitigate costs that arise through "an assistance program for qualifying applicants." The letter shows Brown will take a stmng approachtoregulating a medical marijuana industry that many lawmakers believe is leaking millions of dollars into the black marketin part due to a lack of reportingin the system.
POTTAXES Continued ~om Page1A The tax will be paid by licensed pot growers. Sales at the wholesale and retail levels will not be taxed. State officials estimate that tax
revenue could be $17 to $40 million annually. Measure 91 mandates that 40 percentofrecreational marijuana tax revenue go to the state's common school fund; 20 percent to mental health, alcoholism and drug services; 15 percentto statepolice;5 percentto the Oregon Health Authority for alcohol and drug abuse prevention; and 10 percenteach to citiesand counties for enforcement of the measure. Before July 1, 2017, tax monies received by the state will be distributed to cities and counties on a per capita basis. After July 1 2017, according to the text of the measure, the 10 percent sharesoftaxescollected in a year will be distributed to counties and cities proportionally by the number of issued licenses licensed in their jurisdic tions thataretaxed compared to the numbers of the issued licenses in jurisdictions across the state. In short, that means if there are no licensed facilities iproducers, proces-
Brown's proposal is likely to face pushback from medical marijuana producers and dispensary owners who already signaled this week they will use their power to advocate for less stringent restrictions on the program. Itis widely believed by members of

Some cities across Oregon have passed laws allowing them to collect a local sales tax in spite of the measure's language that prohibits taxation by any entity other than the state. Measure 91 specifically states "No county or city of this states hall impose any fee or tax, including occupationtaxes,privilegetaxes and inspection fees, in connection with the purchase, sale, production, processing,transportation,and delivery of marijuana items."

Xhank You Australia! May 7th is the 64th annual National Day of Prayer in the United States. In Baker, it will be in Geiser Pollman Park at 12 noon. Why the headline thanking Australia~ The people involved in Australia's National Day of Prayer have decided to fast and pray for seven days for the USA from the 30th of April to May 6th of this year ending their time of prayer and fasting the day before ours begins. Alison Iessup from Australia said "We in Australia believe it is our turn to bless the nation of America and pray for healing for the USA through prayer and fasting according to 2 Chronicles 7:14. We in Australia are grateful for the protection that America gave Australia and the nations of the free world during World War IL The 1942 Battle of the Coral Sea, led by the Second World War for Australia." Lana Vawser also from Australia said that there is a fight for the destiny of the USA right now. Last year8 people from Baker gathered in the park to pray for America.

Serving Baker County since 1870
EDITORIAL
i nin
or
Martin Luther King Jr. is generally considered the most inHuential civil rights leader in American history. It's an accolade the martyred reverend richly deserves. Sadly, the noble example that King established before he was assassinated in 1968 seems to have lost some of its power to guide those who claim to advocatefor socialjustice. The recent riots that scarred Baltimore are an example of this sad trend. There were episodes worth celebrating even in that maelstrom, to be sure. Neighbors standing shoulder to shoulder to keep potentially violent protestors away from police. And perhaps the symbol of the riots, the mother
who publi cly (and profanely)berated herm ask-wearing son for participating in the rioting. But there was also looting. And arson. The kinds of purposeless criminal behavior that King neither practiced nor advocated. King's pacific tactics obviously succeeded. Ks opponents could not hope to wrest the moral advantagefrom him. The incident that precipitated the Baltimore riots — the death of Freddie Gray while in custody of the city police — is worthy of public protest. Fortunately, six 0Kcers have been charged with crimes in the Gray case. But real progress in reducing these admittedly rare instances of police misconduct won't be made by those who destroy their neighbors' properties and businesses, and threaten their lives. We can only hope that Baltimore becomes a landmark, in a sense, the point at which King's legacy re-asserts itself. Better that than to watch rock-throwing thugs being described as protesters, giving them a connection they don't deserve to King and his followers from half a century ago.
Your views Partisan OK forCongress,why notcounty? Ballots are out this week for Baker Measure 1-63. Have you ever wondered why some people are so interested in changing how we elect our County Commissioners? Electing our County Commissioners has worked fine for a lot of years. All of a sudden it's a problem. Well I guess it'sbecome a problem since a few liberalscannot getelected. The system is not broken, it works fine for everyone. Our Commissioners make county laws, draft and pass county ordinances. Much like our federal and state representatives — which are partisan positions. Other nonpartisan oSces in county government, such as the sherif, district attorney, assessor and county clerk do not set policy — they carry out laws, quite a difference in job descriptions. Other counties throughout Oregon who have gone nonpartisan are taking steps to change their commissioners back to partisan. The grand experiment has not worked so well. As the gentleman from Josephine County stated, there are so many running, the good candidates get lost and thevoteissosplit,the bestcandidate doesnotwin. Baker County has enough really serious issues to deal with — like keeping our roads open on public lands. Join me in voting against Measure 1-63. Baker County is just fine the way it is now.

Your views Measure 1-63: It's not good for Baker County A vote of "no" is needed for Baker Initiative 1-63. This measure is just not good for Baker County. It appears to be change for the sake of change — sound familiar? Fact: Nonpartisan elections consistently have lower voter turnout. CON-

Fact: There is no accountability for nonpartisan oSces as they are NOT tiedto a party platform. Fact: A person's core beliefs do influence decision making. To think otherwise is a thinking error. Fact: Liberal organizations such as the League of Women Voters, League of Conservation Voters and the Nonpartisan League iwhich was founded by the Socialist Party of America) promote nonpartisanelected oScials,asa m ove to a one party system. Fact: Currently in the Legislative process, House Bill 3500 will create open primaries if passed. Fact: County Commissioners are the rule makers for our county. Just like our State & Federal Representativesand Senators,allpartisan oSces. Other county elected oSces such as the Assessor, Sherif, Clerk, and District Attorney are nonpartisan and these positions carry out laws — they do not make them — this is a huge difference in job duties. Fact: What bitterness, what rancor? The system works well as it is today. Only ones who express bitterness and keep harping on it, are those who have lost or failed in their elected duties. We are a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC, which the libs are trying to whittle away at, with this idea of nonpartisanship, which is the socialist pathway to a one party system. In 2013 when the Republicans nominated candidates for Dr. Stifl"s position iRepublicanl there was one person who was upset and apparently bitter because they could not apply for the vacant position. This person was Randy Joseph, the chief petitioner for this nonpartisan measure i1-63l. He is a registeredDemocrat. So, why would anyone want to know less about their elected County Commissioners? Maybe it's just the potential or rerun candidates who want the voters to know less....Vote no on 1-63. It's just not good for Baker County. Suzan Ellis Jones Chair, Baker County Republicans Bridgeport
Clarifying which Tim Kerns was involved The Baker Valley Soil & Water Conservation District iSWCDl is a local government representing agricultural interests throughout Baker County. SWCD directors are elected oScials and charged with managing local natural resource issues. It has recently been reported that Tim L. KernsSr.,Baker County Commissioner, was involved in an Oregon Government Ethics Commission investigation that involved Baker Valley SWCD. Unfortunately this report is in error. Tim L. Kerns Sr. is the County Commissioner, Tim A. Kerns Jr. is an SWCD directorthathasbeen elected intohis position and served for many years. In 2010 the Oregon Government Ethics Commission investigated SWCD Director Tim A. Kerns. The Ethics Commission closed this investigation by issuing Mr. Kerns a"letter of education." The Baker Valley SWCD Board of Directors and stafFare proud ofour area producers and the conservation work they and the SWCD accomplish together, and we look forward to continuing to serve the landowners of Baker County. Whitney Collins, district manager Mike Williams, district chairman Baker Valley Soil and Water Conservation District Baker City
by these very informed and dedicated men gave us the form of government we have now. It has worked well, certainly better than other countries with their systems. When we read Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison we should be grateful for their effort and thoughtfulness. Please vote no on Measure 1-63. Remember, knowledge is power. Conversely, lack of knowledge is weakness. Let us not give up our ability to acquire knowledge. Please vote no on measure

Forest Service aiming to confine the public Do you want your access to public lands treated like a basketball game, where you have to worry about if you are"in bounds" or"out ofbounds" and having to live with the penalties of not staying within the boundaries set forth by the Forest Service? That is exactly what your life will be if the proposed designation of routes language and travel management plan are put into placeon our national forest. Currently you are allowed to openly and freely access the Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur National Forest via motorized means at your discretion unless otherwise noted by wilderness areas or areasspecifi cally targeted asnonmotorized. Once roads areas are designated a use,allm otorized use offthoseroads will be prohibited iwithin a given buffer along the road) going from an open forestsystem toa closed forestsystem. Much like the basketball court where you are not allowed to leave the court, motorized access will be disallowed from roughly 95 percent of your public lands. You may only play on the court the Forest Service allows, which will be along theirselected roads,and ifyou play outside those lines you will be penalized up to $5,000 and/or one year in jail. W hen did you turn overyourright of motorizedaccesstotheU.S.Forest Service? Did any of you sign a document giving Mr. Montoya or Pena the authority to decide when and where you traveled? Offenses that will get you penalized if you gooutsidethedesignated area are — firewood cutting, retrieving big game, dispersed camping, accessing historic berry and mushroom picking areas, accessing historic hunting areas, or simply recreatingin yourfavorite area,justto name a few. If you do not agree that our motorized access should be restricted, please let Secretary Tom Vilsack itom.vilsack@ usda.govl and Robert Bonnie irobert. bonnie@usda.govl to let them know how their staff is failing our communities and families.

ty Commission positions nonpartisan. We ask you to support Measure 1-63. As members of the People Over Politics for Baker County committee, we are Republicans, Democrats, and nonalliatedvoters.W eareproud to becitizens of Baker County, working together for something we believe strengthens our community. M easure 1-63 givesallregistered voters a real voice in primary elections. Today, 28 percent of Baker County voters have NO say in primary elections for county commissioner. We believe that is wrong. Baker County Republican Chair, Suzan Ellis Jones, says local control is determined by 50 precinct committee people who have the only voice when nominating commission candidates. In the past year, 75 percent of Baker County Republican meetings have been closed to fellow Republicans — and everyone else. Perhaps the leadership of the Baker County Republicans is more interested in total control rather than local control. We are left to ask, who is the real wolf in sheep's clothing? Under Measure 1-63, the Republican and Democrat Committees, other political parties, or any individual is free to submit a name for consideration to the County Commission when there is a vacancy. Localcontrolatitsbest. Recently, votersreceived an attack flyer from opponents of Measure 1-63. It contained personal assaults often seen at the state and federal level. 28 of Oregon's 36 counties have said "No thanks, not in our backyard" to that kind of politics. Last year, Wallowa, Union and Grant County voters overwhelmingly supported nonpartisan commissions. Nothing in Measure 1-63 prohibits you fromknowing your candidate. Forums, candidate gatherings, and community meetings give voters opportunities to know where someone stands. Just ask them! We are proud to represent hundreds of Baker County Republicans, Democrats, Nonafflliated, Independent, Libertarian, Working Family, and Other registeredvoterswho believethejob of county commissioner requires all of us to pick the best person for the job. Like we do with the other 164 elected public oScials in Baker County. Partisan politics has no role. Vote Yes on Measure 1-63. Thank you.

The county, U.S. government and environmentalists have been arguing for two decades over the South Canyon Road and protection of a threatened fish in the river next to it.

The government denies such a right of way exists. But under political pressure, the Forest Service signed a settlement agreement in

2003 with assurances it no longer would challenge the county's claim. The Wilderness Society and GreatOld Broads for Wilderness sued to block the deal, saying U.S. oScials lacked the authority to cede controloftheroad and shirked their responsibility to protect the bull trout. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed and tossed the agreement out in 2005, before the agency signed a similar deal in 2011and conservationists sued again. The latest evidentiary hearing began last Monday and continues this week before U.S. District Judge Miranda Du. Environmentalists say the county must prove a highway formally was established under Nevada law beforethe forestdesignation.
"Not a single map shows a trailorroad therebefore 1909,"said Michael Freeman, a lawyer for The Wilderness Society. Dennis Scully, who surveyed the land for the U.S. General Land Ofllc e 1896,described the canyon as "some of the roughest country in the United States." Conflicting accounts introduced as evidence include a Western Shoshone legend of an evil man-eating devil that supposedly kept Indians from venturing into Jarbidge Canyon, and a livestock census estimating 500,000 sheep were grazing in the area by 1908. County officials cite mining claims filed as early as 1894, a cabin built in 1903 and the 1910 U.S. Census with the town of Jarbidge, population 650.

Continued ~om Page1A From 1971 to 1999, Connolly served as bishop of the Baker Diocese, originally based in Baker City. The chancery offices were moved to Bendin 1987. Mohr moved to Baker Cityin 1977, and he has many stories about Connolly. One ofhis favorite memories is after Connollyretired. In 2008, Mohr acted as chauffeur for Connolly to attend the Knights of Columbus state convention. During the gathering, Connolly stood up around 2:30 p.m. and Mohr took that as his cue that the bishop was ready to leave. "As soon as we got to the car he said Turn on the radio. The Kentucky Derby's on.' He was watching the time!" When they arrived at the hotel, Mohr started to head up so Connolly could watch the race on television. But Connolly wouldn't budge, airaid of missing the action. "I listened to the Kentucky Derby in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn in Eugene," he says, laughing at the memory. Later that night, Connolly was a bit late getting ready for the banquet Mass because he had to watch
SALEM iAPl — Motorists traveling along rural roads in Oregon are one step closer to being able to pump their own gas. Oregon drivers haven't been able to pump gas since 1951. Oregon and New Jersey are the only two states that don't offer self-service gasoline. But, under a bill passed unanimously by the House, gas stat ion operators in remote sections ofthestate could choose to keep their stations open when no owner, operator or employee is around the pump gas for customers. Supporters said this would allow drivers to still get fuel, even when there's no one around. The law would be limited to counties where there are lessthan 40,000 residents. The bill, House Bill 3011, now heads to the Senate.
Farmers sue feds over irrigation contract UMATILLA iAPl — A group of agricultural operators who farm near the Columbia River have filed suit against the federalgovernment over an irrigation water contract. The Capital Press agricultural publication reports 4ttp//bit.ly/1GQEvct l the suit was filed earlier this week by the Columbia-Snake River Irrigators Association against the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The association says the government is holding up construction of an irrigation pipeline by delaying the issuing of awater service contract. The $42 million, privately funded pipeline would deliverriverwatertoroughly 70,000 acresoffarmland north of Interstate 90 in the Odessa, Washington, area. Farms in that area rely on well water for irrigation, but the groundwater is running out. The agency declined to comment on the lawsuit.
tains east. And nowhere was too far. Judy Schroeder, who used to live at Unity told Mohr that one time Connolly even headed out to Table Rock — past Unity, toward the Monument Rock Wilderness — to say Mass at a cow camp, followed by a potluck dinner. Mohr said Connolly was the one to initiate games of volleyball at family camp, and he always said the farewell Mass at the Catholic youth camps. "It was out undernearth the spruces," he said. iAfler the memorial service Friday, Mohr said it's fitting that Connolly was laid to rest near a big spruce tree at Mount Hope Cem-
etery.l Mohr also remembers Connolly joining Moose Stephens in the Chicken Dance and Hokey Pokey during Holy Family Night gatherings at St. Francis de Sales. Another time, the bishop took a more serious approach to help youth experience a diferent type oflife. It was during World Youth Dayin Denver. He met up with theyoung men and women fiom Eastern Oregonand led them through arough part of town to a Catholic Church, where he said Mass. "It was a pilgrimage," Mohr says.
"He wanted to expose them to those who were down and out." Both Mohr and Chaves say that Connolly's actions and approach to life spoke louder than words. "He demonstrated his principles by his actions every day," Chaves says. Connolly was always quick to pitch in during emergencies, such as helping sik through the remains of a house fire. He also didn't mind snow. Bari Colombari, who is now senior researcheditoratOregon Catholic Press in Portland, remembers playing organ at St. Francis de Sales during Mass one winter morning. ''We had aheavy snowfallduring a Sunday morning Mass. Upon leaving the service,peoplefound theircarsto be almost snowed-in," he recalls. The parishioners started helping each other move the snow, and then here came the bishop to help, his clothing fiom Mass covered by a winter coat and galoshes. "Some folks balked with,'Oh Bishop Connolly, you can't be doing this!' He immediately responded,'Hey, if my car was snowed in, I'm sure you'd be helpingme. I can do no less!'" Editor's Note: Bari Cotombari is the uncle ofiisa Britton, who wrote this story.

striking similarityof Mrs. Douglass' murder and that of Miss Mack Both were women. Both were middle-aged or elderly. In each case robbery was not the motive and neither woman was criminally assaulted. The murderer in each incident was brash in his manner of attack. r Miss Mack was killed only a blockkom one of Baker's busiest thoroughfares,Broadway. Mrs. Douglass was killed on a countryroad four miles kom Baker's city limits, but nevertheless atavulnerable spot had a passing car arrived at the time of the crime. "Both crimes were committed at night, and at approximately the same time and almost the same day of the year. Miss Mack was murderedsome time near 9:30 March 6, 1946. Mrs. Douglass met death soon after 10 March 19,1948,"thestory stated. According to police reports, Douglass left her home after receiving a phone call offering her a baby-sittingjob that night. r She left home and was found dead," McCormick said. His research of the Douglass murder led him nowhere. 'There's a lot of unanswered things, and things that will never be answered," McCormick said. Friday, April 17, was McCormick's last day on the job with the Baker City Police. Any further research into who killed the two women will have to be conducted by someone else. After more than 20 years with the Baker City department, McCormick and his wife, Bonnie, packed their bags and left town April 18 en route to Scotland, S.D. The 57-year-old McCormick will begin work May 1 as chief (and the only police officerl of the community of 980 people. "It's an adventure," McCormick said."It's gonna be a great, greatopportunity."

their offensive struggles continue, the Portland Timbers are hoping that the answer to their troubles made his return Saturday. Diego Valeri played 38 minutes as a substitute in what was the highlight of Saturday's 0-0 draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps

Baker High School senior Kalani Heiser has been selected to play in the 27th annual Down Under Bowl in Australia in June. Heiser and Baker football teammates Porter Cline, Austin Jones and Bridger Cook were picked for the game. Heiser said he was the only Bulldog to accept. The trip, which runs from June 28 through July 9, includestwo footballgames and finishes with three days in Hawaii. H eisersaid the costof
FC. "A little bit tired. It's normal for my first 40 minutes in a game. But I was focused on the game. The way we played, that helped me, because we just attack all game, trying to find the goal," said Valeri after the match. "So, like I said, a little bit tired, but happy to get

the trip is $7,000. He is planing several fundraising activities including a silent auction, selling tamales and seeking donations from local businesses.

back." The Timbers' top goalscorerforthe lasttwo seasons has been out of action since tearing his left ACL on Oct. 25. Port-
land i2-3-4l has missed Valeri's touch this season, netting just seven goals in nine games. "Couldn't come at a better time," said Portland head coach Caleb Porter. "It's nice to have Valeri back, because if you look at his production for us, he's had the lion's share of our production over the last several years." Vancouver head coach Carl Robinson was equally full of praise for Valeri. "I'm delighted to have him back. I really am," said Robinson."Cause he's a good player and I want to seegood players in this league. Because it tests my young players." Portland had the best opportunity to win the game midway through the first half. Vancouver defender Pa Modou Kah, a former Timber, was called for a handball, but Darlington Nagbe's penalty kick ricocheted off the base of thegoalpostand bounced clear. "He knows he has to make it. He's done this since he was 14 years old and he never wants to take penalty kicks. Ever," said Porter."So while it was disappointing that he missed the penalty kick, he took responsibility to take it." Saturday's draw moves Vancouver i5-3-2l into a tie with FC Dallas for first place in the Western Conference with 17 points.

Pharoah winsiierdy By Beth Harris AP Racing I/nter
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Three times in seven years, Bob Baffert left the Kentucky Derby emptyhanded. Two seconds and a sixth-place finish by the wagering favorite. After a while, those close calls started taking a toll. Even for a three-time Derby winner. ''When you get beat like that, all these seconds, you get to a pointin your life, maybe it's not just going to happen for me," said Bafert, 62, who suffered a heart attack in Dubai three years ago."And then they sent me this horse. And I thought, Wow, here's my chance. Don't mess it up, -
On this first Saturday in May, Baff ertknew he had the best horse in American Pharoah. Still, he needed a dynamic performance and some old-fashioned racing luck. American Pharoah ran 1 V4 miles in 2:03.02. Baffert tied D. Wayne Lukas and Herbert"Derby Dick" Thompson for second on the career win list. American Pharoah paid

Tulip travels Tulips are such a welcome sight each spring, even after an unusually mild — but predictably cold — winter has
passed. The tulips, after crocus and daffodils, colorfully announce the arrival of a new growing season. Just a few yellow tulips come up each spring at my house, somehow pushing themselves up through the layers of garden cloth, sand and cement pavers put down to keep out the weeds. Most of the other tulips that came with the property more than three decades ago have long since disappeared, but yellow tulips have somehow persevered in the flower beds out front. I've always thought I'd plant others, but never have. I happily admire the tulip-laden flower beds around town and always wish I had more on display when each new spring arrives.

Nothing can replace the wholesome taste of freshly shelled English peas. After my trip to the UK, I decided to give English peas another try. I can honestly say that I have not been a fan, until now. I was raised eating canned peas, which was not at all helpful. As an adult, I revisited cooking with frozen peas, sprinkling them in my soups and chicken pot pies. Last week I found some fresh English peas in their pods and I believethat Ihave been converted to a lover of fresh English peas. The peak months for fresh English peas are Marchthrough May and again from August to November. When choosing peas look for the plump, unblemished deep green pods. Inside, the peas should be glossy, sweet and crunchy. Once picked, they begin the conversion from sugar to starch so buy fresh and cook quickly. They stay stored in the refiigerator for two to three days and should be shelled just before cooking. I challenge you to refrain from snacking on these fresh delights while shelling. English peas are rich in vitamin A, B and folic acid. They are also full of calcium, iron, zinc and potassium. They contain protein and fiber and have anti-inflammatory properties thataid the prevention ofdiabetes,heartdisease and arthritis. They're best when served raw, steamed or stir-fried. I thoroughly enjoyed cooking each of these dishes and happily consumed all three. I have to add that the pesto recipe was delicious and I think it is a gateway to many more pea pestorecipeideas.Pleasefeelfree to switch out the fish in the halibut recipe for your favorite fish. I hope you enjoy these recipes and I would love to hear about your favorite summer dishes.

Add the peas and tomatoes and saute for 7 minutes. Remove the stems and chop the kale. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as directed. While the pasta is cooking add the shrimp to the tomato and pea mixture. Cook until the shrimp is bright orange. Add the chopped kale into the last three minutes of the pasta water. When the pasta and kale is cooked drain. Add the pasta and kale mixture to the shrimp, tomato and onions and stir to fully combine the flavors. Serve immediately with crusty bread.

(skip this step if using frozen peas). In a blender or food processor pulse the peas, pine nuts, basil, kale, garlic, salt, pepper, pepper flakes and cheese together slowly drizzling the olive oil to make a pesto. Spread the pea pesto onto the toast. Peel the eggs and serve on top of the pesto sprinkling with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

DORY'S DIARY DOROTHYSWART FLESHMAN
The trials of
wash day We havetalked about Monday "wash day" before, but two things brought it back to mind recently, and it seemed like a worthy subject bearing repeating. The other day I was driving down the street when I saw a lady out in her yard hanging her wash out on her clothesline. I didn't think much about it other than feeling glad to know we were having sunshine long enough to dry the clothes hanging there. It seemed that natural. She was a lady who knew the value ofhaving a clothesline in her back yard, to begin with. Then I thought back a few weeks when I was also thinking about"wash day." SeeDory/Page 2B

Finding aIoldmine ofhistory —frsmhsme As the years have passed and I no longer have the day-to-day ratraceofbalancing the care of children, going to the office, and keepingup thehouseIhave had more time to know what really keeps me ticking. When all of those daily chores mentioned in the preceding paragraph no longer have a hold on a person, one would think that finally a time to kick back and do nothing would be a good thing. But in reality those things are what make life worth living. Sitting and pondering too much of the time has a tendency to make for a dull or worrisome life. So I have found substitutions for that previous necessary busy work — activities that I enjoy, activit iesthathavepurpose, activit iesthatstretch my comfort zone. In other words things that make me tick. Nancy Drew was my favorite book series when I was young. She was always poking into something, trying to learn about something, and usually in the end trying to solve some unknown. fi Ind myselfsomewhere in her world and the safest place for me to operate is in my enjoyment of genealogy. When I was quite young I found thatIloved tohearstories about my grandparents meeting at a country school picnic, the life of my mother as she had tomato
OUT SABOUT GINNY MAMMEN fights with her brother in the garden or when she first saw an airplane, and the mysteries about various family members who just seemed to have disappeared. That was in the days before the Internet and facts were slow coming.A greatdealofgeneral information came from talking with family members. As I grew olderIsentdozens oflettersto various county clerks, Bureau of Immigration, and churches to see if I could glean anything new. That took lots of time and, more often than not, resulted in"Sorry" letters. Then came the busy years of my marriage, children and employment. Fortunately for me there was a Catholic priest in my dad's family who had the time and the contacts to work on our French background. Do I wish that I had taken just a bit more time to communicate with Father Charles? Yes indeed. Also do I wish that I had pulled out of my father more information? The answer to that is also yes, but my father and the rest ofhis immediate family were not ones to talk of the past. I am the last of our line to hold the Banet name and feel an obligation to get the story down in print.

Fortunately, Father Charles compiled many notes from the Catholic records in France and shared them with my father and me. His greatest gift to me was to unknowingly instill a desire to travel to France and find some of the information on my own. Some of this I shared with you in my last article. Our time visiting in France was limited and language was somewhat of a problem. However, it gave me enough of a grasp to know what I needed and how to sort out the information. Father Charles would have been ecstatic with the Internet and if Nancy Drew could have had a partner, the Internet would have been it. I can get lost for hours hunting for someone and never leave my chair. With Father Charles' information, my travel research, and the Internet Ihave been able to trace the family back to France in the FrancheComte region in the 1500s. This love of tracing a family back to itsrootshascarried over into tracing a building back to its roots. Who designed it, who constructed it, what was its use? When my husband Dale started working on the Liberty Theatre project, I went to work finding out about its life. I started asking questions, looking on the Internet, and poking into anything I felt would give me information. I got lots of stories, some history,
and picturesofthe exterior. No matterhow I tried, Icould not find pictures of the interior. Everyone who had memories could only say it was elegant or it was beautiful orpeaceful.Iguess if any one of us were to give a description of most any current movietheaterwe would have a hard time because we are usually there in the dark to see a movie or performance, notthe decor. Then one day while surfing the Web for information about another building I discovered a gold mine. I didn't get to travel to France, or anywhere for that matter, but I did locate what we had thought to be a lost treasure. It seems an architect named Charles Miller moved to Oregon around 1916 and made quite an impact on our city. One work he completedwas the 1923 renovation/remodel of the then Arcade inow Liberty) Theater. His papers were given to the University of Washington archives and available to us. Not only did we obtain two pictures of the interior, but we also now have copies of the original architectural drawings of the remodel. These documents, lost to us for more than 80 years, included drawings of the original canopy, chandelier, and expanded balcony. Charles Miller died in Pendleton in 1960. See History/Prge 2B

TULIPS Continued from Page 1B And I've always envied others who get the opportunity to travel to the tulip fields of Western Oregon. Well, this year, my family and I were among those making that trip. W e traveled west foranotherpurpose that coincided perfectly with the chance to visit the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm at 33814 S. Meridian Road near Woodburn on a Monday afternoon. While a weekday visit doesn't providetheopportunity to see all of the special activit ies scheduled atthe farm during the weekends, the tulipsarejustasbeautiful and the crowds, I can only imagine, are much smaller.

DORY Conti nued from Rge 1B A van advertising a linen business had passed me byon the road and left me thinking about when'1inensnwere laundered in the home for families or onthepremises forapublic institution. At home our bed linens, tablecloths and napkins, table runners, handkerchiefs and other sorts of artides went through our own washing machines and ironed under the hand of the womenin the family. The irons wentfrom those heated on the woodburning stoves to those connected and disconnected from the wall-plug to contml the heat, to those with thermostats and some later even allowing for steam. After marriage, early on when we were just getting starled in an upstairs apartment, I did my wash by hand in the sink or bathtub until my parents supplied us with aone-sheetatatim ecapacity MontgomeryWanf agitator tub. It was round and about the size of a lidded canning kettle. Filled with hot soapy water, the tub was secured by the agitator lid and plugged into the electricity to swish for the required length of time. With the one sheet or other artides wrungby hand and laid aside, another piece to be cleaned could take its place. This took a considerable length oftime. When the white linens or clothing were finished and added to the stack, the wash water was disposed of and the tub Sled with clear water. Now began the rinsing by agitating and disposing of the rinse water as many times as necessary to rinse away the suds. When the laundry filled a clothesbasket,itwastoted outside and hung on the clothesline in the backyauf. On rainy days woodenracks would hold the spread-out washin the house causing difficult passage fiom room to room. W inter days could acceptthe wet laundry outside to fieeze into stiffpieces, but they would be dry once they thawed outin the warmth ofthe house. With blisters on one's hands fiom the wringing of the dothing, particularly big bed sheets, the colored artides would wait for another day. While this may sound like a veryinadequate way to do one's wash, it was far better than the washboard used by our earlier grandparents and relatives.

The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, east ofWoodburn in the central Willamette Valley, flaunts a rainbow of colors each spring. mum $20 per vehicle, we got fi elds of colorful tulips to our the chance to walk along the h eart's content.
Not only were there yellow tulips like mine, and red tulips like my neighbor's, but there were all shades of pinks, and purples and oranges. And even white tulips. Colors have been combined through cross-breeding to produce variegated flowers of purple and orange, red and yellow and orange and red. A delicate pink and white flower titled Sorbet was one of myabsolutefavorites. It was introduced in 1959, accordingto the2015 bulb catalog distributed to visitors. The catalog described the Sorbet as "creamy-white with flames of carmine red. The two-color varieties were produced through hybridizing to mimic the streaking that results from petals infected with Tulip Mosaic Virus, the catalog explains. The hybridized varietiesare notinfected by the virus, which will eventually destroy the tulip bulbs. In addition to the wide range of colors,thetulips
come in a wide range of shapes and bloom times. By planting a mix of early, midseason and late bloomers, the tulip season can be extended for several weeks in the spring. The varieties include Single Early Tulips, which as their name implies, bloom early. The Sorbet is of that variety. Those that particularly caught my eye were the Double Early and the Double Late Blooming Tulips with their large blossoms. They made me wonder if the flowers were really tulips or peonies masquerading on the farm. Parrot Tulips have rumed edges and, again, don't look like what you expect to see in the familiar flower. The edges of the Fringed Tulipsbear a resemblance to the ragged edges ofa pair of old blue jeans. Along with 13 tulip varieties,the farm also grows daffodils, hyacinths and other specialty flowers. The scenery was lovely

"washing machine" as such was far better than the washboard or doingdiapers byhand upon the arrival ofchildren to the young folks. Eventually the family would financially be able to purchase a"modern"wringer washer or betherecipientofan older couple's upgrading their own equipment. Each advancement brought forth praise and app~ation. Now my washing machine, with its automatic wash-andrinsewater actionsatthe push or pull of a simple switch, brings gratitude any day of the weekit is in use. Likewise is the dryer at its side that changes the drying activity and softness of the towels regardless ofthe outside weather. Institutions, like the Catholic Saint Joseph Hospital in La Grande, had its own laundry room behind the hospital. Here all of the sheets, pillowcases, gowns and towels wentinto the huge washingmachines to deanse, rinse and
p~ The clean wet laundry then was dir ectedonto aroom-sized ironer where four persons would feed or catch and fold the hospital linens. Billowing steam came from the dryer as heat met wet materials and kept the room hot, winter and summer, much to the comfort or discomfort of the workers. Stacked in a cart, the dean
folded wash was ready to be rolled down aramp out of the laundryroom, across the weather-exposed opening between the two buildings and into the hospital. Placed in order on the linenroom shelves of each floor, the items werereadyforthecom fortof the patients, the whole process to start over again the next morning. Employment at the hospital laundry for manyyears was under the guidance ofmyAunt Rose. Her daughter Edith ran the washingmachines and Rose's mother, sisters, their older children imale and female) and, mostly all Old Town women or school girls, were keptemployed foraslongoras short a time as was beneficial to all. Even I took a turn atit. Those days passed by with the dosing of the hospital. Now the Grande Ronde Hospital has its laundryindoors, but the completion of the day's work still requires workers to ready the linen carts of dean artides to be rolled from floor to floor for the benefitof the patients. From washboards, to hand wash, to a single agitator tub, to ~ r wa shing machines, to automatic machines with side by side dryers, I admire the progress through myown lifespan. There surelyis even more to come in the futine. Reach Dory at jksIimanOeoni.com

and the eagerness of other visitors to step in to takeour photo to ensure that no one in our group was left out was truly heartwarming. Our fellow visitors also asked for our help in the same way How serendipitous for our trip to coincide so perfectly with prime blooming time at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. It was a wonderful way to spend a slightly soggy day on a visit to the other sideofthestate. Sunday was the festival's last day of the year. Blooms faded quickly after our midApril visit because of the recent high temperatures, accordingto a fi eld report from the farm's website. Take heart, flower lovers. There will be another tulip festival next year. I recommend the side trip to anyone who would appreciate a visit to a 40-acre field of flowers. More information about the WoodenShoe Tulip Farm's annual Tulip Festival is available at www.wooden shoe.com.

A greatdeal ofefforthas gone into the planning and dreaming of the Joseph Branch Trail. As it comes closer to becoming a reality I hope we can all recognize what an asset it would be to our region.
