But the Trail Blazers took the first step Monday night by beating the San Antonio Spurs 103-92 to stave off elimination and narrow the Western Conference semifinal series to 3-1.
• Oficials uncertain about city's role in spurring economic development for the area By Pat Caldwell pcaldvvell©bakerc(tyherald.com
BRIEFING
,
City to begin hydrant flushing The Baker City Public Works Department will begin its annual fire hydrant testing and flushing on Monday, May19. The testing is expected to continue for two to three weeks. This testing is done annually to ensure all hydrants are functioning properly and are delivering water at the correct pressure and volume, Jennifer Murphy, of the city's Public Works Department stated in a press release. During the testing and flushing process small silt-like particles might become "stirred up" in the lines. These are particles that have settled in less active water lines, Murphy said. Water might appear yellow or cloudy as a result of this flushing process. To clear the water, residents are advised to run their faucets full force for five minutes. If the water still does not clear, call the Baker City Public Works Department at 541-5242063.
Senate candidate to visi tSunday Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, Dr. Monica Wehby, will be in Baker City Sunday, May18, at the Sundridge Inn. The meet-and-greet session begins at 11 a.m. For more information, call Candice McKim at 541-403-1380.

A long-term goal for Quail Ridge Golf Course is to update the irrigation system to make it more efficient.

Two elected city officials agreed the local areafaceschallenges regarding economic development but conceded the best way government can help in the effort to spark expansion is to stay out of the way. Baker City Mayor Richard Langrell and City Councilor Kim Mosier both said local government entities should be supportive ofbusiness development but should also be carefulnotto createneedlessroadblocks on the road to expansion. Langrell said he remains uneasy regarding how much — and for how long — city government should be involved with economic development. "I've always had mixed feelings about the city of Baker being in the economic development department. I kind oflook at the city, the city's job is to provide safe drinking water, sewerservice,roadsto driveon,police and fire. The city should be supportive of everyone who wants to start something in town," Langrell said. Langrell said he carries no illusions regarding job prospects in Baker County. "It's tough to make a living in Baker," he sald. Lateststatistics— forMarch — from the Oregon Employment Department's Labor Trends illustrate that while the region is slowly crawling out from under the cloak of the recession, much work remains. For example, March numbers show many of the counties in the region still face doubledigit unemployment. Baker County listed a 10.5 percent unemployment rate in March, while Grant County's stood at 13.8 percent and Wallowa County recorded a 14.3 percent unemploymentrate.H arney County documented a 14.2 percent unemployment rate in March.

• City Budget Board to consider golf course irrigation system upgrades By Pat Caldwell pcaldvvell©bakerc(tyherald.com
An effort to establish a preliminary plan to replace portions of the outdated irrigation system at the Quail Ridge Golf Course might secure more than a rudimentary review nextweek when the Baker City Budget Committee convenes to chart the fiscal future. Irrigation system snags at the course are not a recent development and city officials want to at least secure funds to craft a feasibility study to tackle the challenge during the budget committee sessions next week. Baker City Manager Mike Kee said city staffhas alreadyadopted tentative steps toward shaping a viable plan. ''We've taken a step this year in the budget and in the proposed budget and have put aprojectoutthere to begin the planning for an irrigation system. It ithe irrigation system) is not a new problem," Kee said. At issue is the irrigation system thatservicesportions ofthe original nine — dubbed the "old

nine" — holes of the course constructedby the Depression-era Work Projects Administration in the mid-1930s. The irrigation system for that portion of the course was positioned in the early 1970. Now, officials said, that portion of the irrigation configuration is old and it leaks on a regular basis, costing extra money to fix and slicing through water efficiency efforts. "The original nine-hole portionofthegolfcoursethatis the portion that is in dire need of replacement, for a number ofreasons.There area lotof breaksand alotofrepairsthe cityhas topay forand itis also extremely inefftcient," said Bill Tiedemann, the Quail Ridge Golf Course operator.
Kee said the main, shortterm goal, will be to find a stable funding stream to fuel a study regarding a new irrigation system. The long-term goal, of course, will be to replace the eroded water system on the original nine-hole portion. That effort, though, will not be cheap, Kee said. "It could cost hundreds of thousandsofdollars,"Kee said. A preliminary blueprint regarding a new irrigation system will cost a lot less-

In one of the fastest meetings in months, the Baker City Council moved through a modest agenda of items Tuesday night and inished up work in under an hour. f Councilor Mike Downing was absent from the session. The council approved four resolutions and appointed a local resident to the Baker City Planning Commission. The elected board appointed Ned Ratterman to the commission and also accepted two proclamations — one that declared the week of May 18 through May 24 National Public Works Week and another that decreed May 13 through May 31 as Poppy Day in Baker City. The elected board approved fourresolutions unanimously during the session. The council approved Resolution No. 3720 — the adoption of the Regional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan — then OKd Resolution No. 3721, a mandate that will allow the city to authorize a loan fiom the safe Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 14, 1964 The $1,836,396 proposed city budget — an increase of $89,279 from the last fiscal year — was presented to the city budget board last night. No action was taken on the budget pending study by budget board member, however, Carl Davis was elected chairman and Rod Crosby was elected secretary. The city administration proposed to raise $236,982 in taxes within the 6 percent limitation, an increase of $13,280 from last year. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 15, 1989 Rock Garden Greenhouses on Williams Creek Road is offering a much wider variety of spring bedding plants. That's made possible with the addition of a 96-by-30foot commercial greenhouse. "We now have a wide selection of annual and perennial bedding plants," said Donna Servid, who owns the business with her husband, Mark. ... The local outlet for those bedding plants is the Rock Garden Fruit Stand open every weekend in May. It's located at the north end of10th Street. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 14, 2004 Localleaderssay they have high hopes forMonday's Baker County Economic Summit, which has attracted 125 early registrants and is expected to draw up to 200 attendees. The theme for the summit, which features three nationally known speakers, is "Creating OurTomorrowToday." Chuck Rouse, the interim economic developer, hopes Monday's events "will help the community to get on board and understand economic development better, helping us turn all the factors at play into a homogenous plan." ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 20, 2013 Baker County has been adding jobs over the past year, and the average pay per job has risen as well. Average pay in 2012 was $31,242 — an increase of 3.2 percent from 2011, according to the Oregon Employment Department's Eastern Oregon "LaborTrends" newsletter. That's a bigger jump than for Oregon overall, where the average pay went up by 2.8 percent in 2012. BakerCounty's average pay increase also exceeded the national Consumer Price Index, which rose by 2.1 percent.

U.S. District Judge Michael McShane heard arguments last week from lawyers for the gay couples and the state. Ifhe rejects NOM's request, he could rule at any time on the constitutionality of the same-sex marriage ban. If he allows NOM to defend it, McShane has said he'll allow new written and oral arguments. Oregon law has long prohibited same-sex marriage, and voters added the ban to the state constitution in 2004.

The NOM members seeking to intervene have no personal stake, lawyers for the couples wrote in a brief. "These are people who simply would rather live and work in a state that does not license and recognize the marriages of same-sex couples," they wrote.

The move is opposed by lawyers for four gay and lesbian couples who brought the case and lawyers for the state. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat, says the ban is legally indefensible and has urged the judge to throw it out, creating a rare case where both plaintiffs and defendants are seeking the same outcome. "It is the attorney general's incredible abandonment of her duty to defend the state's interest ... that has necessitated NOM's intervention in this matter," attorneys for the National Organization forMarriage wrote in a brief filed last week in support of its request.

quote from Justice Anthony Kennedy's majority opinion. You end your editorial with the hope that locally the"topic remains in the background." Well, I would not be coming out of the background with this letter, if your editorial had quoted Justice Elena Kagan, who wrote the minority opinion. Justice Kagan wrote: ''When the citizens of this country approach their government, they do so only as Americans, not as members of one faith or another. And that means that even in a partly legislative body, they should not confront governmentsponsored worship that divides them along religious lines." Considering how close the Court's opinion was, an editorial acknowledging the other side of the argument would have been appropriate and expected. Gary Dielman Baker City
Fredisthe candidate who can takethis county forward This is no time to change the county administrative officer. Fred Warner has createda professional group ofem ployees whostrivetogivefirst-classservice. The workforce is lean, but extremely productive and responsive to the public. Fred has already shown the way on keeping roads open. His work on RS 2477 law has proven that the USFS respectsthe procedure asdemonstrated by the opening of the road on Dooley Mountain, and the statement in the newspaper that the Powder River road to Cracker Creek would stay open. The Oregon Supreme Court also agreed, and established the Conner Creek road as an RS 2477 road. Fred is perhaps one of the most talented and intelligent managers I've ever had the pleasure to work with. He is capable of keeping a number of"balls in the air" that are ongoing county projects or concerns. Fred not only is knowledgeable in natural resources issues, but has a fullgrasp ofallofthe otherresponsibilities of county governance. Fred's approach ofusing solid fact and not burning bridges has made solid progress for Baker County. Fred builds coalitions, he does not destroy them. His opponents' slogans of taking the county in a different direction reminds me of the "hope and change" promises of a diferent political leader. Fred Warner Jr. is the candidate who can solve our problems and take this County forward. I urge you to join with me and vote for Fred Warner Jr. for Baker County Chair. Tim L. Kerns Haines

BAKER CITY HERALD — 5A
STATE REGIONAL 8 STATE
Decisionmavonenunloannaraliigm udge strikes WASHINGTON iAPlThe regulator overseeing government-controlled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has announced a policy that could make more loan money available to borrowers. M el Watt, thedirector of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said Tuesday in his first public speech that the agency will not reduce current limits on amounts of mortgages that Fannie and Freddie can purchase. The decision was based on concern that a reduction could negatively affect the health of the $10 trillion housingfinance market, he said. Watt's predecessor, Edward DeMarco, had floated the idea of reducing the maximum loan limits. The governmentrescued Fannie and Freddie during the financial crisis in 2008. The companiesrecei ved total
taxpayeraid of$187billion, which they have since returned. The companies finance about 60 percent of U.S. mortgages issued.
The current loan limits are
$417,000 and $625,500 in high-cost areas of the country. The proposal put forward by DeMarco in December would have reduced the limits by about 4.1 percent,
to $400,000 and $600,000 respectively. The goal behind the plan was to reduce Fannie and Freddie's presence in the housing market and limit their exposure to the riskofmortgage default,the FHFA said at the time. Watt, in his speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington, said the decision not to cut loan limits "is motivated by concerns about how such a reduction could adversely impact the health of the current housingfinancemarket." President Barack Obama has proposed a broad overhaul of themortgage fi nance system that includes gradually winding down Fannie and Freddie. They would be replaced with a system that puttingthe private sector, not the government, primarily at risk for the loans.
Legislation to phase out Fannie and Freddie, and instead use mainly private insurers to backstop home loans, has advanced in Congress. The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to vote on it on Thursday. The plan, crafted by two key senators, has been endorsed by the White House. But the opposition of six Democratic senators on the committee means the legislation likely will be only narrowly approved, and its prospects fora voteby the full Senate are weak. Watt also announced in hisaddress a pilotprogram involving Fannie and Freddie in Detroit that will allow formore generous revisions in the terms of mortgages held by struggling borrowers. The FHFA plans to eventually expand the program to other parts of the country, Watt said. The mortgage banking industry welcomed Watt's remarks."Director Watt is showing that he has hit the ground running and put a lot
of thought into the path he intends to take" with Fannie and Freddie, David Stevens, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association, said in a statement. DeMarco, who had been appointed by President Bush and was the FHFA's acting director, resisted pressure from the Obama administration to allow Fannie and Freddietoreduce principal forborrowers atrisk of foreclosure. He stirredpersistent oppositiontrom Democratic lawmakers and attorneys general in a number of states. Obama's nomination of Watt, a longtime Democratic congressman from North Carolina who was a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee and a former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, was stalled for months by Republican lawmakers. Watt finally was confirmed by the Senate in December and became FHFA director in January.
Heal -care law sparks some angst MIAMI iAPl — Some consumers who bought insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law have buyer's remorse atter realizing that theirlongtime doctorsaren'taccepting the new plans. Before the law took effect, experts warned that narrow networks could impactpatients'accessto care,especially in cheaper plans. But with insurance cards now in hand, consumers are finding their access limited across all price ranges — sometimes even after they were told their plan would include their current doctor. Michelle Pool is one of those customers. Before enrolling in a new health plan on California's exchange, she checked whether her longtime primary care doctor was covered. Pool, a 60-yearold diabetic who has had back surgery and a hip replacement, purchased the plan only to find that the insurer was mistaken. Her $352 a month gold plan was cheaper than what she'd paid under her husband's insurance and seemed like a good deal because ofher numer-
ous pre-existing conditions. But after her insurance card came in the mail, the Vista, California resident learned her doctor wasn't taking her new insurance. "It's not fun when you've had a doctor for years and years that you can confide in and he knows you," Pool said."I'm extremely discouraged. I'm stuck." The dilemma undercuts President Obama's 2009 pledge that: "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period." Consumer frustration overlosing doctorscomes asthe Obama administration is still celebrating a victory with more than 8 million enrollees in its first year. Narrow networks arepartoftheeconomic trade-otffor keeping premiums under control and preventing insurers trom turning away those with pre-existing conditions. Even beforetheAffordable Care Act,doctors and hospital swould choosetoleave a network — or be pushed out — over reimbursement issues as insurers tried to contain costs. Insurance trade group America's Health Insurance Plans says studies show the biggest factor influenc-
ing consumer choice is price. Insurers say that if consumers want low premiums, their choices may be limited. Insurance companies also argue there's wide variation in what doctors and hospitals charge, with some increasing prices every year. Insurers say there's little evidence that higher-priced hospitals ordoctorsareactuall y delivering better care. Health and Human Services spokesman Fabien Levy says the law requires insurance companies to posttheirdirectoriesso consumers can seeiftheirdoctoriscovered beforethey sign up. 0$cials say insurance companies ultimately decide what doctors and hospitals to include in networks, just as they did before the law. The federal government is closely monitoring plans to seeifm ore guidelines are needed to ensure consumers have access to quality health care. Insurance companies say doctors are equally responsible for letting consumers know what plans they accept. Insurers also say that healthcare.gov should include a centralized directoryofdoctors.

marriage ban BOISE iAPl — Amber Beierle and Rachael Robertson say they11 be the first in line if Idaho starts issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Friday. They've tried beforethe couple was denied a license just six months ago in Boise — but now they have the federal court on their side. U.S. District Magistrate Judge Candy Dale ruled in their favor and in favor of three other Idaho couples Tuesday evening, finding the state's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. They were joined by their fellow plaintitfs and attorneys in front of the federal courthouse Tuesday evening, celebrating the win with champagne, family and friends. "The first person I called when I got the news was my mom, and she said 'I'm so proud of you Amby,"' Beierle said, holding back tears. "I don't think people understand what that means to native Idahoans
who love this state and want to stay in this state but who want to be heard. It feels amazing." In addition to Idaho, federalor state~udges in Oklahoma, Virginia, Michigan, Texas, Utah and Arkansas have recently found those state bans to be unconstitutional. Judges have also ordered Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee to recognize same-sex marriagesfrom other states. Dale said the state must issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples starting at 9a.m. Friday.Gov.C.L. "Butch" Otter already has saidhe intends to appeal the case, meaning an appellate court could still put the weddings on hold. The four couples filed the lawsuit against Otter and Ada County Clerk Chris Rich challenging the marriage ban in November. The other couples are Sue Latta and Traci Ehlers; Lori and Sharene Watsen; and Shelia Robertson and Andrea Altmayer.
State rejects bid to
delay tough tests PORTLAND iAPl — The teachers union in Oregon wants the state to put off tough new statewide tests scheduled for next year because a majority of students are expected to fail. But state schools chief Rob Saxton has refused. The new statewide tests are part of a national standard called the Common Core, and the state Department of Education estimates that only 35 percent to 40 percent of Oregon students will pass the first year, The Oregonian reported. Teachers in some districts have not had enough time and training in teaching to the tests, said Hanna Vaandering, president of the Oregon Education Association, a potentpoliticalforcewith 40,000 members. Some students will become ill, cry, feel fi ustrated and feel their self-worth badly undermined if forced to take stateteststhey aren'tequipped topass,she said. "Is there any rational reason why you would give an assessment that 65 percent of our students would fail?" she SRld.
Teachers and students are taking samples of the test, and the state should wait until those results are available, she said. Saxton said it's important for Oregon to give students, schools, parents and policy makers accurate information about how students measure up against rigorous national standards in reading, writing, math and analysis beginning next spring, so that Oregon won't lag behind other statesin adopting thestandards. ''We need to do everything we can to equip our students with the knowledge and content and skillsets they need to be successful when they leave high school, whether for college or career," he said. States that have switched to Common Core tests saw marked improvements in the second and third years, he SRld.
Since2001,federaleducation law has required allstates to givestandardized reading and math testsin grades three through eight and in one high school grade every year. All 50 states have complied. '

NBAPlayoms: SanAntonio atPortland
lillardscores25asSlazerstonSnurs PORTLAND iAPl — Nicolas Batum had a simple question for his Portland teammates Why not us?" No other team has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playofF series. But the Trail Blazers took the first step Monday night by beating the San Antonio Spurs 103-92 to stave off elimination and narrow the Western Conference semifinal series to 3-1. ''Why not us? No, it's never been done before," Batum said.eWe know it's going to be tough. It won't be easy, especially against this team.' The French forward had 14 points, 14 reboundsand eight assistsand pestered fellow countryman Tony Parker all night. Damian Lillard had 25 points to lead the Blazers, who won their first second-round playofF game since a vic-

Portland rebounded in the first round against Dallas in 2003, but ultimately lost the deciding game in the first-round series. The Blazers have been hurt by the loss of backup point guard Mo Williams to a groin injury for the past two games. Williams provided both energy and points off the bench all season in relief of Lillard. Portland got just six points off the bench in Game 3, but Will Barton provided a spark with 17 points on Monday. Barton became the first Blazer with 17 points and six rebounds off the bench.

Coach Gregg Popovich sat Parker and Tim Duncan after Portland built a 20-point lead in the final quarter. The Spurs are looking to advance to the conference finals for the third straight season. Game 5 is tonight in San Antonio. "The energy was weird tonight," Parker said.cYouhave togive a lotofcredit to Portland. They played great. They came out of the gates and I thought

A trio of Baker boys advanced to the Class 4A state tennis tournament Tuesday after competing at the Greater Oregon League district tournament at Ontario. No. 1 seed Lukas Huggins repeated as GOL singles champion, sweeping all four of his district matches. The Baker doubles team of Mathew Barnes and Ian Rasmussen also advanced to state as the No. 3 qualifier. Baker finished third in the team standings with 14 points. Ridgeview won the team title with 20 points. Crook County was second with 14.5. "I thought placing third was pretty good for us with just six boys while everybody else had nine boys," said Baker coach George Keister. "Our guys did really good this year. Everybody improved." The other Baker players who didn't qualify for state also each won at least one match at district. Jesse Burk, who placed third at district a year ago, won his first singles match beforefalling to the eventual district runnerup. The Baker doubles team of Hunter Stone and Ezra Taylor won their first match in three sets before being eliminated. The state tournament will be May 22-24 at the Oregon State University Tennis Complex at Corvallis.

Baker tuned up for its key Greater Oregon League matchup withLa Grande Monday by stopping Vale 11-2 in a nonleague baseball game at Vale. "It was the kind of game we needed," said Baker coach Tim Smith. "We got good solid pitching, and I thought our defense was good." Smith said the Bulldogs turned double plays in the fourth and seventh innings to get out of jams. Baker used a 7-run second inning to break the game open.
Taylor Gulick and Kyle Srack each had two hits to lead the Baker offense. Stephen Schott added a pair of RBIs. Caleb Custer, the first of four Baker pitchers, picked up the win. Baker hosts La Grande Friday in a GOL doubleheader that should decide the league championship. Both teams enter the twinbill with 9-1 league records.

Thunder rallies to stun Clippers OKLAHOMA CITY iAPl — Russell Westbrook finished off Oklahoma City's stunning comeback. Clippers coach Doc Rivers believes he should never have had the chance. Westbrook scored 38 points and made three free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining, and the Thunder overcame a seven-point deficit in the final 50 seconds to beat Los Angeles 105-104 on Tuesday night and go up 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals. "I think when you get a win like this it brings everybody closer,"Westbrook said."It lets you know you can't mess around.You have to takeevery moment, every play and go out and win the game." The play that led to Westbrook's free throws is in dispute. Kevin Durant made a 3-pointer, then Los Angeles' Jamal Crawford missed in close before Durant made a layup with 17 secondsleft.W estbrook stoletheball,and in a scramble, the Thunder got possession with 11.3 seconds to play, setting up Westbrook's play. The Clippers believed the ball went off Oklahoma City's Reggie Jackson, but the officials awarded the ball to the Thunder. After review, the play stood. Durant scored 10 ofhis 27 points in the final 3:23 after shooting 3 for 17 through three quarters. Blake Griffin had 24 points and 17 rebounds, Crawford scored19 pointsand Paul had 17 pointsand 14 assistsfor the Clippers.

Gortat delivered the bestplayofFgame ofhiscareer,31 points and 16 rebounds, and John Wall scored a playofFbest 27 points as Washington routed the Indiana Pacers 102-79 to cut the Eastern Conference semifinals deficit to 3-2. aWe don't have anything to lose now," Gortat said.aWe play desperate. At the end of the day, we might lose. We have to play every minute of every game like it's the last one of the season." The Wizards made a stunning turnaround after losing three straight, two on their home court in incredibly demoralizing fashion. Washington scored a franchise-low 63 points in Game 3 and then blew a 19-point, second-half lead in Game 4. Washington refused to let it happen again this time, earninga trip home forGame 6 on Thursday. Four of Indiana's five starters played at least 39 minutes in Game 4. Coach Frank Vogel was concerned enough that he gavethe Pacers aday offM onday. David West led Indiana with 17 points and six rebounds, but Paul George struggled after playing 46 minutes in Game 4. He was 5 of15 from the field with 15 points, one rebound, two assists and four turnovers.
3ames scores 49 points to lead Heat win NEW YORK iAPl — LeBron James had done his part to put the Miami Heat in control of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and one last free throw was meaningless except to him. He missed, leaving him one shy of his first 50-point playoff game, muttering to himself after. 'That's the first time I've been disappointed in myself in a win," James said. Then he smiled, realizing his performance left nothing to complain about. James tied his playofFcareer high with 49 points, Chris Bosh made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 57 seconds left, and the Heat beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-96 on Monday nightfora 3-1 lead. James carried the Heat nearly the entire way until Bosh hit the shot that put Miami ahead for good — a play where James resi sted the temptation to force a shot.

ElsaSteen Esthetics opens doors in downtown 3oseph Joseph's bustling business district welcomed a newcomer this weekend — Elsa Steen Esthetics. Steen graduated from Enterprise High School in 2013 and studied at Beau Monde in Portland. She is now offering beauty wax, facials and makeup in a studio located at the back of Tempting Tea. The official launch of Steen's business was May 10 during Pamperfest, an annual springcustomer appreciation event at Tempting Tea. At an early age she developed an interest in skin care and becoming an esthetician was a natural fit. In high school, she took advantage of an extra-curricular entrepreneur class offered by Stacy Green. Steen started two businesses her junior year. She sold customized wine glasses at Sports Corral and by word of mouth, and as a senior she sold cupcakes using Facebook, flyers and business cards. For her facials, Steen said she will be using all Wild Carrot products, a skin care company based in Enterprise. "I was using their product when I went to school and thought it would be a good niche for county business and keeping things local," she said.

The birth certificate reads "chirpy," and 31 kindergarten and first-grade students are immensely proud. Born last month with black and white feathers, Chirpy was the first of six chicks to hatch under the watchful eyes of students in Kelly Neil and Ginger Noble's kindergarten and first-grade classrooms at Cove Elementary. "Chirpy is my favorite because he has my favorite color on the feathers, black and white," said Nolan Barton, a first grader. It is Day 21 of an adventure that started with Becky Best, a substitute teacher in Cove, giving the classes 32 eggs. Not all the eggs made it. The students said that some were yolkers and quitters. Yolkers were not fertilized, while quitters quit developing. "They were pretty much dead," said Evan Larvik, a kindergartener,in avery matter-of-factvoice. On Day 7, the students got to help with candling. Originally done with a candle, the teachers put a light inside a black box that has a small hole. Students took the box into a dark closet.

his past week I watched Brian Tracy's video "Success is a Journey" five times as I facilitated client orientations. I made the comment each time that not only do I watch this inspiring talk each time I need a boost, I also learn something new each time I see it. Each of us has come into contact with people who have made a substantial impression on our lives. Sometimes these individuals are with us for a long time, and sometimes their tenure is short. The impact can be immediate, or it might take many years for the lessons taught to sink in as they become part of who we are. I have fond memories of someone of thiscaliber Im et for the first time more than 30 years ago. At the time he had some impact on my life, but it was only years later that what I learned from him made a significant and lasting impression that still is with me today It was not an auspicious start. He was suspicious of my intent and his lack of patience was legendary. We had similar goals but hisperspectivewas thatof suspicion. After being chewed out afew times, Istarted to understand his goals. What he taught me, over a period of six years was invaluable. I surfaced as one of the few individuals he could see that had potential as a student. His subject was business. Thomas Huxley wrote, "Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly." That was my mentor. I noticed immediately that he set boundaries in his life. When he was at work, he worked very hard. At the end oftheday,hew ent home to his family.

The Beginning and Expanding Farmer Loan Program, or Aggie bonds, provide affordable financing to new farmers for financing capital purchases. Business Oregon works with the borrower's local lender to provide this financing and issues a tax-exempt bond for the amount and terms of the loan. Because the interest income to the lender is exempt from federal income tax, the lender is able to charge a lowerratetotheborrower. The loan and the bond are secured solely by the collateral required by the lender and arenot obligations of Business Oregon or of the state of Oregon. Because the lender assumes all credit risk, the lender makes all credit decisions. Loans may be used to acquire agricultural land, new depreciable property or used depreciable property in conjunction with agricultural land. Aggie Bond proceeds may be used to

Eva Herold's Sugar Time Bakery in Enterprise offers gourmet, custom treats from mini cupcakes to wedding cakes. Herold said Sugar Time affords her the luxury of staying home with her 4-year-old son, Tyson, while running a business doing what she loves. Herold opened Sugar Time in March 2013 after taking a business class offered by the Northeast Oregon Economic Development District. "I went to classes through N EOEDD and signed up for abusiness savings grant that will mature next year," Herold said.'The class offeredgreat knowledge.Itwas fantastic." She said she had a penchant for baking and was often called on by friends and family to make desserts. "For four years, I have been serious about baking and creating my own recipes," she said. Before her husband, Justin, was hired to work at the Wallowa Fish Hatchery in Enterprise, the family lived at the Lookingglass Hatchery, a remote location outside of Elgin. When they movedto a town where Herold could sell her wares, she turned her hobby into a business. "I'm very pleased with where it's headed," Herold said.

RANCHING
Oregonrancdersnavtdeirfederalgraiingfees The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Each year, Oregon ranchers whose herds graze on public ranges overseen by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management pay the federal government fees that are aboutequal towhat Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy owes in back fees and penalties — more than $1 million. And the Oregon ranchers are prompt to pay, the bureau tells The Oregonian. Of the sum listed as delinquent, $11,674 was no more than 15 days lateatthemost. The bureau says about 1,100 Oregon ranchers pay grazing fees annually.
deing setfor insects
As oflate April, bureau officials said, 45 ranchers owed a totalofless
than $19,000, and only two had bills unpaid 60 days or more. Grazingfees must be paid before rancherscan release cattleonto public land, encouraging prompt payment, spokesman Jeff Clark said. The U.S. Forest Service reports 400 permit holders, with none in arrears. In Nevada, armed people who describe themselves as a militia have rallied around rancher Bundy, who doesn't recognize the authority of the federal government and hasn't paid grazing fees since 1992. The Nevada Cattlemen's Associa-
tion in a statement afterwards cited ranchers' grievances with the federal government but said the 'ruie oflaw" must be observed. "Nevada Cattlemen's Association does not condone actions that are outside the law in which citizens take the law into their own hands," the statement said. The Oregon Cattlemen's Association shows no similar statement on its website. Last month, the Bureau ofLand Management stopped trying to round up his cattle after a showdown with hundreds of Bundy supporters. Under federal law, ranchers can obtainpermits to grazetheircattle
on public land. The amount ofland theygettousedepends in greatpart on the amount of forage. The permits provide a set number of what is called an"animal unit month." That's calculated to be the forage to sustain a cow and her calf for a month. Because forage varies widely, the permits set how many cattle can be run on a particular section ofland. The cost for each animal unit month
is $1.35. Jeff Clark, BLM public affairs offlcer in Portland, said the agency has 1,100permit holders.He said in most circumstances, grazing fees must be paid before ranchers can release their cattle onto public land.
Over the next few weeks, thousands of insect traps will be placedthroughout Oregon in an effort to detect gypsy moth, Japanese beetle and a hostofotherinvasive insect peststhat pose arisk tothe state's agriculture and natural resources. By the end of summer, the Oregon Department of Agriculture should have a good idea which bad bugs are problems this year and where they exist. ''We have trained 25 seasonal survey technicians, and they are now putting out the trapsforup to 20invasive insects," said Helmuth Rogg, manager of ODA's insect pest preventionand management program."In the past, we really only looked for gypsy moth and Japanese beetle. Now we are on the lookout for a long list of invasive species that can potentially find their way to Oregon." While the list of unwanted insects has grown, the approachofearly detection and rapid response remains the same. The placement of traps statewide helps detect any small population of invasive speciesthat can be eradicated relatively easily before they grow and spread. The most common and familiartrap isforthedetection of gypsy moth. About 12,000 bright green or brown gypsy moth traps are being placed primarily on the west side of the state in the higher risk areas, including residential neighborhoods, parks and campsites, and along major waterways. The more common European gypsy moth is normally introduced to Oregon when new residents or travelers from areas of high gypsy moth populations in the eastern United States unwittingly bring the pest with them on such things as outdoor household furniture or other items that may harbor gypsy moth eggs. A high density of traps will also be placed along the Columbia River and around the Port of Portland. These are areas where the Asian gypsy moth would likely be found after hitching a ride on cargo ships arriving from overseas. Unlike its European cousin, the female Asian gypsy moth has the ability to fly, which could leadtoa m orerapid infestation and subsequent spread.

packed up their Subaru and made their way to Wallowa County. The Rim Rock offers something called"glamping," furnished tipis, and guests love them. Last summer, the inn expanded its overnight offerings and began renting out a one-room suite and a two-bedroom apartment and shifted their emphasis from dining to a destination resort. ''What's cool about this

"A chicken's heart can pump 300 times per minute," said Colter Loman, a first grader. One fact seems to especially im press. "A chicken is the closest living thing related to the T-Rex," said Mikael Pence, a first grader. It might be a good thing these chicks will not grow to the size of a T-Rex because the teachers are planning to send them home with students in a few days. If there is more demand than chicks, the teachers will do a lottery. "There are more chickens on earth than people," said Cabella Gregory, a first grader. Neil and Noble are definitely enthusiastic about what the students have learned but they also feel a bit weary. "Next year we are going to do butterflies,u Noble said.

A slow-motion and irreversible collapse of a massive cluster of glaciers in Antarctica has begun, and could causesea levelstoriseacross the planet by another 4 feet within 200 years, scientists concluded in two studies released Monday. Researchers had previously estimated that the cluster in the Amundsen Sea region of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would last for thousands of years despite global climate change. But the new studies found that the loss is underway now as warming ocean water melts away the base of the ice shelf,and is occurring far more rapidly than scientists expected. The warming water is tied to several environmental phenomena, including a warming of the planet driven by emissions from human activit y and depleted ozone that has changed wind patterns in the area, the studies found. "There is no red button to stop this," said Eric Rignot, a University of California, IrvineprofessorofEarth system science and the lead author of one of the studies, conducted with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and scheduled for publication in a journal of the American Geophysical Union. The six glaciers have passed"thepointofno return," Rignot said, which means thattotalcollapsethe meltedretreat oftheglaciers — cannot be prevented.

'The only question is how fast it's going to go." Antarctica, surrounding the South Pole, is the largest mass of ice on the planet, containing an estimated 80 percent of the world's &esh water. Its scale is difficult to fathom. One environmental foundation said that if you loadedthe iceontocargo ships and started counting the vessels,one persecond, it would take 860 years before you were finished counting. The loss of even a portion of that ice would have consequences across the globe. Scientists have surmised its possibil ity fordecades,and have bracedfor confi rma-

tion, which in effect arrived Monday. For the UCI-JPL study, scientists used 40 years' worth of measurements, much of it data &om satellite radar systems that can measure changes on Earth's surface to within a quarter of an inch. The data was used to m easurethe precise location of the glaciers' so-called grounding lines — the point at which glaciers connect to a land mass. It is at this nexus where warmer ocean water encounters the ancient ice and causesitto retreat. The problem compounds itself in several ways, scientists said.
