The Baker County commissioners spent much of their time during Wednesday's meeting talking about how a potential federal listing of the sage grouse could affect the county.

Commissioner Mark Bennett gave an update about the work he has been doing to learn what local farmers and ranchers can do to lessen the impact should the Ben nett federal government list the bird as either threatened or endangered.

Bennett passed out maps that show the habitat areas of the sage grouse in Baker County.

"Basically the entire county ... is included in the sage grouse plan area," Bennett said.

BRIEFING

Students organizing local book drive K-Kids, a Kiwanis International sanctioned leadership group, composed of about 30 local fifth- and sixth-graders, has organized a local book drive to benefit the Baker City community.

The group practices and learns about leadership and community oriented charity activities throughout the year.

Through a partnership with Step Forward Activities, the books will be delivered (or donated books picked up) free of charge in the near future via a bookmobile.

The K-Kids kickedoff the book drive earlier this month at South Baker School and lastTuesday at Brooklyn School.

Donated books can be sent to school with students and K-Kids will collect them until Thursday.

Books for adults or children can be dropped off at any time at Bisnett Insurance. The program will benefit all members of the community by supplying books free of charge. It also creates jobs for Step Forward's disabled clients who will deliver the books at no cost.

For more information, call Baker Kiwanis President Debbie Poe at 541-523-4267, Extension 602, or email her at dpoe@bisnett.com.

Choppers, fighter planes, tanks and more were partofa specialeventthis month for a select gmup of employers fmm across the region.

On May 14, a gmup of 20 Oregonians were treated to a flight aboard a CH-47 Chinook double rotor helicopter to Gowen Field Air National Guard Base in Boise.

La Grande American Legion Post 43 CommanderJohn Craigjoked about the helicopter.

'They vibrate so much, the Earth repels them," he said.

Once at the base the gmup, which included the author of this story, participated in Bosslik, a two-day event managed bytheEmployer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense office whose mission is to develop and promote employer support and encourage the hiring of military reserve and National Guard employees as well as military veterans.

They participated in hands-on activities, demonstrations and exhibits thatincluded military aircraft and several different types of tanks; flight, military convoy and weapons simulators; and even flights amund the Boise area in a Blackhawk helicopter.

Unfortunately, some missed out on that experience. The flights were cancelled due to weather on the second day of the event.

Cassie Glerup, office assistant at the Northeast Oregon Compassion Center in Baker City, was one of those fortunate to get a ride in the Blackhawk.

Durirg the 25-minute flight, she said she and six other passengers were outfitted with headsets that were the same as what the pilots were using. She said it was quite the experience to hear the pilots communicating with each other.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 26, 2014 Unlike past commencement speakers, some of whom have traveled across the country to address Baker High School graduating classes, this year's speaker will simply drive to work like he's done every day for most of his working life.

That's because the man who willpasson sage advice to members of the BHS Class of 2014 when the ceremony begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 8, at Bulldog Memorial Stadium is their principal, Jerry Peacock.

The 58-year-old Peacock, with 22 years at the helm of Baker High School, is the longest tenured — and one of the most highly respected — principals in Oregon, said Doug Dalton, the school district's chief executive officer and business manager.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has

beenslipping backward fast.

It had an $8 million predicted shortfall in 2003-05.

It had a $17 million predicted shortfall for 2009-11.

And now it has a $32 million predicted shortfall for 2015-17.

The gaps were plugged in 2004 and 2010 in part by fee increases on licenses and tags. But more must be done before the shortfall essentially doubles again in a few years.

The heart of the problem is that fewer Oregonians hunt and fish. All across the nation, per capita hunting and fishing participation rates are at all-time lows. In the 1970s, one in seven Oregonians went hunting and one in four Oregonians fished. Now it's closer to one in 17 Oregonians hunting and one in eight Oregonians fishing.

Hunting and fishing licenses have increased in cost to attempt to make up for the decline in participants. Look closely at those numbers, though, and the increases for licenses are just about tracking inflation, according to a secretary of state's audit.

For instance, a fishing license cost$9 in 1976. That

would be $36.85 in 2013 dollars. But a fishing license cost $33 in 2013.

ODFW is also losing in the numbers because of increases in the costs of the public employees retirement system. PERS contributions for ODFW

doubled from $8 million in 2009-11 to nearly $14 million in 2011-13.

We know this might sound like piling on, but these money problems mean that ODFW hasn't been doing needed maintenance on facilities such as its fish

hatcheries. In 2005, ODFW identified it had$93.6 million in maintenance needs. It has spent $7.5 million on maintenance since 2005.

What's the solution?

The proposed budget relies heavily on some$13 million in revenue from the general fund to cut into the shortfall. Fee and license increases will again be necessary. We can't blame hunters and fishermen for grumbling about it, but we can't see another alternative. The ODFW should also switch to reviewing fees every two years, instead of every six.

We can't promise it would raise much, but plenty of Oregonians care about protecting species and habitat. How could ODFW get them to contribute annually as hunters and anglers do? An annual conservation badge? A specialized license plate?

One choice ODFW has resisted is to eliminate staA' or reduce programs. Its budget package for 2015-17

did include cuts of $7.4 million through program reductions and personnel cuts.

But what is not clear from ODFW's plan is something that shows its budgetary future beyond 201517 is not simply another shortfall.

ena on The execution of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for his role in the Boston Marathon bombing — if itever takesplacewill quite possibly be the last of its kind, remembered as the last time the United States government put a person to death.

After a formal sentencing hearing next month, Tsarnaev's lawyers are expected to request a new trial. As the case winds through the lengthy appealsprocess,theprosecution'smai n argument for execution — that it offers "closure" to victims and their families — will be revealed as illusory. In effect, the appeals phase will put the death penalty on trial, and as time passes, public and legal opinion will probably turn decisively against the "ultimate punishment."

Thirty-four U.S. states are "retentionist" — they still have some form of capital punishment on the booksand 16 states have executed a person in the last three years. But the number of executions and new death sentences is ata 20-year low,andjusta few states areresponsibleforthevastma jorit y of executions.

Many U.S. cities, and a number of states, are now anti-death penalty zones — not just liberal bastions like Berkeley, California, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, but also New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland and New Mexico. A bill to reintroduce the death penalty in Massachusetts was defeated. Bills to outlaw the death penalty are in process in Delaware, Kansas and Colorado. Even in Nebraska, a staunchlyconservative state,a billto abolish the death penalty has such strongbipartisan support that legislatorscould override an expected veto by the governor.

Meanwhile — and driving that change — recent developments have brought intense public scrutiny of this controversial practice.

This year two death-row inmates were exonerated and set free: Debra Milke, jailed since 1990 in Arizona, and Anthony Ray Hinton, jailed since 1985 in Alabama by a prosecutor who said he knew Hinton was guilty"just by looking at him." They were the 151st

By 2002, 38 more countries around the world had done and 152nd U.S. death-row prisoners so so, including much of the former Soviet exonerated— the latestillustrations Union.

Roger Penske called the driver in late 2013, when Montoya found himself without a job.

The catch? Penske's offer was a return to Indy cars, which Montoya had left behind years ago. Montoya

cashed in on it Sunday with his second Indianapolis 500 victory.

The first one was 15 years ago and a stepping stone to Formula One. The second one came for a 39-year-old man who proved JPM is back.

SCOREBOARD TELEVISION

CLEVELAND iAPl —LeBron James dropped tohis knees and slapped the floor with his hand.

He was exhausted and exhilarated — and one win from the NBA Finals.

"I gave everything I have," James said.

James shook off an atrocious shooting start, withstood Atlanta's gritty comeback and battled cramps and injuries torecord a triple-double,and the Cleveland Cavalierstook a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals with a 114-111 overtime victory on Sunday night.

James missed his first 10 shots, but finished with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. The Cavs needed every single one of them to hold off the top-seeded Hawks, who fought Cleveland until the final seconds despite being without injured shooter Kyle Korver and losing Al Horford, who was ejected in the first half.

James, who favored his right leg for most of the fourth quarter and asked to come out of the game in OT before re-consideri ng,hita 3-pointerw ith 36.4 seconds leftto put the Cavs ahead by one, and the superstar dropped a runner with 12.8leftto m ake it114-111.

"He just wouldn't let us lose," coach David Blatt said.

Atlanta had two chances to tie it in the final seconds, but Shelvin Mack missed two 3-pointers.

TORONTO iAPl — Aaron Sanchez gave the Toronto Blue Jays the start they needed.

Sanchez won for the first time in three starts, Edwin Encarnacion and Ryan Goins homered and the Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 8-2 on Sunday to avoid a threegame sweep.

Sanchez i4-4l allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings to help Toronto win for the third time in 12 games.

Brosius steps down as Linfield coach MCMINNVILLE — Following Saturday night's year-end celebration of Linfield's third consecutive appearance in the NCAA playoffs, Wildcat alumnus and former Major League Baseball all-star Scott Brosius announced he will not return to the program in 2016 as he seeks a new coaching challenge within the baseball world.

As Brosiusdepartsaftereightyearsashead coach, Linfield College President Dr. Thomas L. Hellie announced the program's transition back into Scott Carnahan's hands.

Carnahan, the program's all-time winningest coach over 24 seasons, has served as the team's pitching coach for the past eight years in addition to fulfilling his role as athletic director.

In eight seasons as head coach, Brosius compiled a 27096 win-loss record while leading the Wildcats to a national championship, four regional titles and five Northwest Conference crowns. He skippered Linfield to the playoffs a total of six times, including three straight years from 201315,for atotalpostseason record of29-14.Under hisreign, Linfield captured its first NCAA baseball title in 2014 and returned to the Finals in 2013, achieving the first back-toback national appearances in program history.

Brosius was selected as the West Region Coach of the Year in 2014 and 2013, and was a five-time recipient of the NWC Coach of the Year award.

Oregon returns to SoRball World Series EUGENE — The Ducks are heading to Oklahoma City.

Oregon, the No. 2 national seed, defeated North Carolina State 9-3 on Saturday to sweep its Super Regional. This will be the Ducks' third trip to the Women's College World Series in the past four seasons.

"I couldn't be any prouder of my team, and the way they performed through adversity," said Oregon coach Mike White."Sometimes playing at home is a lot more pressure, and I think our team performed well under the gun."

A record crowd of 2,061 fans watched the game at Howe Field.

Nikki Udria got the Ducks on the board with an RBI single in the third. After the Wolfpack, playing as the home team, answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame, the Ducks took control with a four-run fourth.

Koral Costa, Danica Mercado, Alyssa Gillespie and Udria each came through with RBI singles during the rally.

Oregon put the game out of reach with four more runs in the seventh.

Button, an Army veteran who served during the Vietnam War, and whose company employs several veterans, had the chance to fly in the Blackhawk as well and experience the country around Boise from varying elevations.

"It was sensory overload.

We flewthrough canyons.

You have to experience the adrenalinepump you get from that," he said."It's definitely something you have to put on your bucket list."

The guns communicate with a computer system and have compressed air systems that provide real feedback to the operators. They have to replace magazines when sensed as empty by the system.

Bordeaux also talked about the importance of military personnel in local communities. "(Reservists and veterans) are the backbone of everything. It's like they have two jobs," she said.'They are juggling two worlds and they have to be excellent in each one."

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

A detective story for Memorial

Day Memorial Day, by virtue of its being, is one fraught with memories ofloved ones,oflostones,ofspecialtimes and placesbrought together in oneplace, one special day. Today.

The flyover by the Air Force sends remembrances deep into our soul.

How it comes about to touch our own skies is a story in itself, but since I must write before the event and have my story come out afterward makes the request for the flyover a report for later.

Right now I want to tell you my detective story that deals with my grandmotherMary Hofinann's diary.I was deciphering her cursive handwriting, a mixture of English and German along with her own spelling in some instances.

It was her Friday, Aug. 28, 1942, entry that her words rushed out to me.

It read: "Sent a Card for Roht...ter."

"There [sic] boy died in the war."

The letters in between the name's two"t's" were almost undecipherable because she had written over them in a spelling attempt as though she wasn't sure of the spelling herself. It was up to me to guess what the letters meant.

I used to have my flowers so specifically arranged in beds of annuals every year, but always enjoyed Mrs. Pratt's more carefree "country garden" style of flower beds across the street. She shared a start of flax with me many years ago, and it has been around our yard ever since. Now it comes up in many places.

Yes it seeds around, but I just weed the little starts out where I don't want them. Also the bark I like to put in lower beds discourages a lotofseeds f from growing.

Flax is a perennial. They seem to give out after a few years, but there are always more to take their place.

After they are through blooming (two months or so) they take a break so I cut them back to about 3 inches and in a long fall they spring back and bloom again. If not then, they show up the next May.

Nobody likes to be wrong.

But if you believe the Internet, you've been doing many things wrong YOUR WHOLE LIFE. Packing your suitcase, removing a trash bag, untying knots, breaking in shoes, even breathing. And, of course, so many of those tasks you perform every day in your kitchen.

I'd been saving links to a few of them when I decided, heck, I should put them to the test. Here are the thumbs-up and thumbs-down results from my morning of research:

but it was the white crosses that always brought to mind something I had heard about "...crosses row on row..." and "...the field where poppies grow...

The words came again this day and tears threatened to sting my eyes because I was much older now and understood the sorrow that had touched the hearts of mothers — and fathers, too — to give up this one whom they had borne and loved but would see no longer in adulthood.

The first four letters of the name I was seeking, Roth ..., was not to be found within the rows of crosses, so I visited the Hillcrest East cemetery o5ce across the road with Susan Anderson behind the desk to help me.

No, there was no one there by the Rothaker name. She checked her computer as well forother cemetery records.

No such name except for three in the United States and those on the East Coast.

I was following a mystery name. Was it a real name?

Did I have the spelling right?

If it was Rothaker's, how did it tie in with our family since Ihad never heard itbefore?

Grandma's son John, my uncle, had recentlyjoined the Air Force, so the war would be uppermost in her mind, of course. Also, her grandson Earl"Sonny" Lovan and nephew Freddie Hildebrandt had both left for the Navy.

Hearing about the "Rothaker" boy would have

touched her own concerns, but there were others unmentioned. Why Rothaker?

And, so the mystery deepened for me as to whom he was and why his special importance to her, in that she and my mother had gone to a funeral within the next few days. His funeral? I wondered.

My next stop was at the newspaper o5ce but the book I sought for research was missing although reporterDick Mason tried to help me.

There was still another source— thecity directories since I wasn't into computer searches.

I found a Norman Rothacher and wife Bessie with five children listed as living at 2902 N. Birch in the 1928 directory.

Herdifference in spelling their name could have been as she would have pronounced it, a"k" for "ch." That could have made it Rothacher, living in the opposite end of town from my grandmother Hofinann, so it seemed unlikely that they would have been customers at her neighborhood grocery store.

No, there had to be another connection to the family.

Mr. Rothacher worked for the WU. Co. What company was that?

Of course, Western Union at 1107 Adams Ave. He was a telegrapher or lineman.

Gradually a light began to dawn, and I checked the very possible answer under the

name Swart.

Yes, my grandfather Harry Swart was a telegrapher and traindispatcher forthe Oregon Washington Railway and Navigation Co. and lived just two blocks from the Rothachers at 2707 N. Birch in 1928.

Undoubtedly telegraphers would know each other in such a small town, especially this line of work.

The Harry and Martha Swart family in 1942 then lived on Fourth Street just two houses from my grandmother Hofmann's grocery store and home and the two women were close friends as well as now related through marriage of their children, my parents. Here was the very possible connection with the entry in her diary. She had ridden to the cemetery with my mother, a railroader's wife.

Still, I didn't feel satisfied with my detective work.

I couldn't know for sure thatthesewere the peopleor that this was the connection to the young man without a first name of whom my grandmother had written.

Did Ihave thewrong name transcribedfrom her cursive handwriting?

With the diary in hand, I re-studied the Roth ... Could the "t" actually be a"c"?

Could it have been a Rochester with three children as also listed in the 1928 city directory? It would be worth the search.

There was another young man who gave his life during

— Sunset magazine

this same time and I had known him. I was thinking of him now, too.

His name was Gary Heller, not from around here, but one of the cadets who ate Sunday dinners at our house when our family hosted the young men who were in training in our town. He wanted someone "back home" to write to and Iwasglad to be his correspondent. Our letters flowed back and forth even though he couldn't tell me where he was or what was happening.

The last letter was one I had sent him, returned with black ink around the edges.

My parents had to convince me that it meant that he had died in the war, for it seemed so impossible. A nice clean-cut young man in his prime was no longer. His face in memory would remain forever young.

My heart is still sad for both losses, one I knew, the other an unknown, even yet some 73 years later on this another Memorial Day set asideforremembering.

Now, for me, it would be back to the Hillcrest East cemetery o5ce and another visit with Susan, this time searching for a Rochester possibility.

Next week I'll tell you where the trail led and if one of the three Rochester children was the young lad in uniform.
