Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner says his offrcers will enforce Oregon's new recreational marijuana law on a case-by-case basis come July 1.

"Part ofthe problem is they're still working on rules and regulations," Lohner said. "If we get a complaint or run into somebody with marijuana on Lohner them, we'll have to determine whether they are within the legal limits," he said. People who are within the law's limits will be treated the same as

someone with a cigarette in his or her pocket, he said. District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff said he will be operating under the same philosophy. ''We'll follow the law and work with it," he Shirtcliff said."Anybody not in compliance will be prosecuted." Shirtcliff says there will be no

Afterward, he will answer any questions attendees may have. Donna Selbyfrom the Drukpa Mila Center in Salem, which was established by Rinpoche, also considers the Lamas' visit a significant event for Baker City. "It is very special when a sand mandala is constructed in a city and for itsresidents," she said."Anyone who views the mandala feels a greatpeace — in essence,a sand mandala is a means to bring healing to an area and bring it into perfect balance with the universe." When the mandala is completed, the Buddhist monks will deconstruct it and ! dis t r ibute half of the colored sand to those who attend the ceremony. The remaining half will be dispersed into the Powder River. See Ceremony/Page 8A phato by Bill Lyans/StatenlslandAdvance

The road will begin at Lookout Mountain and join Highway 30between Jordan Creek and Chimney Creek approximately 11 miles south of Durkee. The road will be 16 feet wide with a maximum grade of 10 percent. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 25, 1990 A serious rodeo accident Friday night placed Great American Cowboy BobTallman in a Reno hospital with four broken bones and multiple bruises. "He is hurt seriously, but the doctor is encouraging," said his sister, Maryanne Mahaffey, Saturday, before leaving Baker City for Nevada. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 24, 2005 Fire season hasn't started in Northeastern Oregon but the flames don't seem to care. Lightning sparked the year's first wildfire Tuesday evening, in Wallowa County about100 miles northeast of Wallowa. And on Wednesday a blaze that Forest Service workers lit last fall in a pile of logging slash re-ignited with an assist from the hottest temperatures of the year. Firefighters quickly corralled both blazes, and each fire covered less than a quarter acre. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 25, 2014 HUNTINGTON — Laura Hicks credits a handful of volunteer firefighters, and her son and his friend, for saving her Huntington homeTuesday morning when flames spread from her neighbor's burn barrel onto her property. The flames ignited a wildland fire that burned an estimated1,375 acres between Huntington and Farewell Bend State ParkTuesday. Fortunately the westerly wind gusts of about 25 mph that fanned the flames also pushed them away from Huntington and its 510 residents.

Catharine Ott Baker City, 1922-2015

As a young girl, Catharine grew up near the Ballard Locks in Washington before her family moved to Baker in 1935. Catharine's family lived at the Balm Creek Mine where she and her siblings rode the school bus to Baker to attend school. In her late teens, Catharine and her sister, Shirley, lived with a family in South Baker, so they could attend Baker High School. One of Catharine's passions was dancing and she shared many accounts of dances in Sparta and Baker, twirling on the dance floor with her brother, Bill. On one of those evenings in South Baker, a young man named Bob approached Catharine and offered her a ride on the handlebars ofhis bicycle. Bob was so smitten with Catharine's beauty and kindness that he determined at that moment there could be no other girl as amazing as her! He courted her for a

Our U

recor s aw We're pleased that Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has signed a law requiring the Secretary of State's oKce to study how the state government is handling the public records law. But we'd be a lot happier if such an audit weren't necessary. It shouldn't be. Oregon has had a public records law since 1973. Its purpose is succinct, and, frankly, wonderfulrecords that state agencies and local governments produce, including cities, counties and public school districts, belong to the public and ought to be available for the public to look at. But over the decades the Legislature has larded the law with exceptions and loopholes — there are more than 400 — that have blocked the flow of information muchas plaque keeps blood from reaching the heart. We hope Secretary of State Jeanne Atkins emphasizes this gradual, and needless, constriction of public information in her audit. Sadly, though, she can't scrape away those impediments. Only lawmakers can do that, and we see little reason to be optimistic about the prospects. In the meantime we'd ask that Atkins, in addition to finding problems with how the state is administering the public records, also remind every public agency that the 42-year-old law was not designed to protect records from the public, but rather to ensure that we have reasonable access to those records. In our experience requesting public records we've often found that the flaw isn't with the law, but with how public employees interpret it. Sometimes agencies fail to respond to requests in a timely manner, even though the law requires that. Other times they propose outrageous costs associated with reviewing records for information that might be exempt from public disclosure, even though the public records manual published by the Oregon Attorney General's oKce, which oversees the public records law, explains in clear language that such lengthy and expensive reviews are not justified under the law. There's no excuse for public oKcials, who are the gatekeepers of these records, from being ignorant of their legal responsibilities. The Attorney General's manual is available online for free, and paper cop-

ies, at $25, are well within the budget of any public agency.

emovin The horrific massacre in Charleston, S.C., where nine black churchgoers died at the hands of a white supremacist gunman, has been a powerful jolt to America, prompting a renewed focus on racial divisions and the need to confront them. Many say our nation has failed at dealing honestly with our history of racial oppression and violence,and that the Charleston tragedy should be a wake-up call. Are we on the verge of a shift in the national discourse on race? Perhaps; but for that shift to have a lastingpositiveeffect,there must be an honest and open conversation across the board. In the aftermath of the crime, we have seen some conservatives downplay the issue of racism. Several Fox News hosts have tried to spin the shooting as "an attack on faith" because it took place in a church, despite overwhelming evidencethat themotivewas a racial one. Several Republican presidential candidates also tiptoed around the plain fact that Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old charged in the shootings, deliberately targetedblacks outofracistconvictions. Also from the realm of racism evasion is the defense of the Confederate flag which flies at the South Carolina statehouse, though Gov.Nikki Haley Monday calledforitto berem oved from the Capitol grounds. While many in the South seetheflag asa symbol ofregional pride and tradition, it is inextricably linked

i n e r s on racism CATHY YOUNG to an ugly part of that tradition that is fundamentally antithetical to American values: thedefense ofslavery and, later, segregation. Yet, if"see noracism" attitudes exist in some quarters of the right, many on the left are just as willfully blind to decades of racial progress. While it's quite true that the Charleston shooting cannot be seen in isolation from a long and horrific history of white supremacistterrorism against blacks iand, often, whites supportive ofblack equality), it is also a fact that in 2015, such an act is a shocking aberration. In the past, such terrorism often had widespread popular and tacitinstitutional support in the South; today, it is universally condemned and viewed with horror. It is worth noting that, according to Roofs statements, he felt driven to takeaction partly because offrustration with the lack of Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist activity in Charleston. Some anti-racism activists have tried to use the Charleston tragedy as a platform for general denunciations of "whiteness" and questionable charges of racial bias. Tweetslambasted alleged race-based favoritism toward Roof, such as the fact

that he was given a bulletproof vest fora courtappearance ithe same was done for Long Island Rail Road shooter Colin Ferguson and Washington, D.C., sniper Lee Boyd Malvo, both of whom are black), and that the media published a photo ofhim as a sweet-looking child ithe same was done for Malvol. Even the admiration for the forgiveness shown to Roofby the victims' families has been treated as denying blacks' right to anger. Telling white Americans they are presumed guilty of racism and that they are not allowed to dispute any claimofracism by a person ofcolorwhich happens routinely in progressive discourse — is no way to move forward on racial issues. An honest conversation also requires an acknowledgment that far more black lives are taken by crime within the community than by racist violence. The tragedy in Charleston has promptedsome much-needed conversation in conservative ranks about past and present racism in America. But li beralsand progressives need to re-examine the blinders that exist in their own discourse on race — unless we want another round of polarized and ultimately fruitiess debate.

Your views Volcanoesas major CO' sourcemyth refuses to die In a recent letter to the editor, Chuck Chase makes this completely erroneous claim:"Just the ivolcanicl eruption in Iceland alone...put more carbon dioxide in the air than we ihumansl have since we started cutting back on carbon dioxide." Then he jokes that believers in global warming should "quit drinking Kool Aid and believing in fairy stories...." Chase's claims, like those of Republican leaders in Congress, Republican candidatesforpresident,and local global warming deniers Pete Sundin, Jerry Boyd, and Baker County Commissioner Bill Harvey, have been thoroughly debunked many times. Here's my favorite put-down Yet the claim, like a zombie, refuses to die. Those who cling to it do so, not just out of

ignorance, but out of willful ignorance." iTamino climate report) Now for the scientific FACTS: 1. The estimated CO' emissions from Mt. Pinatubo, one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in the 20th century, were...about the amount released by human activity in half a day, not our entire history. In fact, in less than 3 days human activity outstrips the average annual volcanic emissions of Earth's volcanoes. iTamino climate report) 2. At present, volcanoes emit at most 300 million metric tons of CO' per year. Humans emit about 30,000 million metric tons of CO' per year, 100 times more than yearly volcanic eruptions.

WELDING Continued from Page1A By September, the BTI section in the northwest corner of Baker High School will be remodeled to accommodate the new program. Welding has traditionally been molded into the vocational agricult ure programs and taught asm oreofaskillneeded to repair equipment, Dalton said. This new program will teach students to weld in a laboratory setting. Those who complete the career pathway will go beyond pre-apprentice and even apprenticeship pmgrams, he said. Dalton noted that than4 to an $87,000 grantkom the Youth Development Council and a $20,000 grant kom the Fred W. Fields Fund and Northeast Heritage Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, BTI pmgrams will be extended to Baker Middle School students. "BTI will be somewhatrebranded at the middle school," Dalton said. Elective classes will expose BMS students to engineering, robotics, aquaponic agriculture and other courses. Chris Carmiencke, newly hired Baker Middle School principal, said the math- and science-related electives will be a nice addition to the seventh- and eighth-grade curriculum. ''We're hoping this is a stepping stone for career pathways aligned with BTI," he said Betty Palmer, interim superintendent, said the new middle school electives will also help spur sixth-graders as they begin considering their future careers. "It fits nicely with the student learning plan, which launchesatGrade 6 andmoves forward atGrades 7 and 8," she said. Mark Witty, who has been hired to lead the district as superintendent beginrmg July 1, noted that BTI has been included as part of the Northeast Oregon Economic Development District's regional comprehensive plan.

Answers to common questions about the legalization of recreational use of marijuana in Oregon, starting July 1. How much marijuana Qcan : I have? : At home, you can eep up to 8 ounces of ready-to-use marijuana per household. The 8-ounce limit holds regardless of the number of people living in the home. On the street, in your car, or otherwise traveling around in public, an adult 21 or over can carry up to an ounce. For homemade solid and liquid marijuana products the limits are higher — up to 16 ounces of solids and up to 72 ounces ofliquids.

: Generally speak' g, onlyon private property. Smoking on the street, at the lake or in a parkwill remain illegal, as will smoking in places ofbusiness generallyopen to cigarette smoking — say, on the patio of a bar. It's not entirely clear how the prohibition on smoking marijuana in a public place will be interpreted, said Tom Towslee, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission spokesman on marijuana issues. Inside a fenced backyard of your own home is probably fine, he said, while on the kont porch in view of the

Recreational use for people 21 and older becomes legal July 1. street may or may not be. "A lot of this is going to be left up to how vigorous or not vigorous local law enforcement wants to be in enforcing Measure 91,"Towslee said. "Maybe police in Eugene will look differently on it than police in Bend, or in Pendleton." Steve Gunnels, a drug prosecutor with the Deschutes County District Attorney's office, said the line between public and private is a bit hazy, but will ideally be worked out by the Legislature.

juana kom states where it's legal to other states. Towslee said although Oregonians had yet to vote to legalize marijuana at the time the memo was written and the federal government hadn't had to consider two"legal" adjoining states, Oregon is, for now, taking the view that marijuana cannot cross state lines.

Jerry Peacock, BTI director, also reported on a three-day career camp sponsored through the Oregon Department of Transportation and the state Bureau of Labor and Industries. Eleven young women took part in the event, which included hands-on activities rangingkom welding to cement work and the operation ofheavy equipment. Students traveled to the Ash Grove Cement plant near Durkee, toured Behlen Manufacturing Co. at Baker City and visited Triple C Redi-Mix Inc. near Baker City. The camp was more successful than expected, Peacock

: That's tricky. The only erson-to-person transfer of marijuana that will be legal come July 1 is giving it away for kee — money can't change hands, and you can't mow your neighbor's lawn or trade him your bike helmet for a baggie. Towslee said the expectation of the OLCC is until the retail system is up and going — probably in the latter half of next year — the illegal market will probably function as it always has. The OLCC is offering no guidance on where interested Oregonians might seek out marijuana, marijuana products or the beginningsofa home grow operation.

"It was scary at first, but then I got over my fear," one woman said of the experience.'You inspired me to have a possible career in welding." "Inspired was a word used throughout," Peacock said.'The number one complaint was it wasn't long enough." Peacock said nextyear's camp might expand to include four or five days of activity. "It was a great experience," he added.'Tm glad we undertook this. It was very, very worthwhile for them."

MarinersdlanKRoVals By Tim Booth AP Sports Wrlter

SEATTLE — In just his fifth major league start, Seattle rookie Mike Montgomery gave himself a lofty goal. Not to mention quite a memory, all of it coming against Kansas City, the team that originally drafted Montgomery. "I probably had a little more emotion going in than I normally do," Montgomery said."I know a lot of those guys. I was with them for five years. It was definitely a little extra

added on to it." Montgomery tossed a gem on Tuesday night against Kansas City, throwing a four-hitter and striking out 10 in Seattle's 7-0victory.In the process, Montgomery became the first Mariners left-hander to ever throw a shutout with at least 10 strikeouts and no walks. While Montgomery was the star, Dustin Ackley wasn't far behind. Ackley singled, doubled and homered for his first three-hit game of the season.

"The kid thing is the big thing — access to kids and distribution to kids."

Shirtcliff said he continues to be concerned about increased accessibility to minors. "More marijuana relates to m ore possessi on,more addiction and more marijuana in the schools," he said. "The kid thing is the big thing — access to kids and distribution to kids." When it comes to people driving under the influence of marijuana, Baker County has the advantage ofhaving five drug recognition experts iDREl to evaluate suspects. Two of those experts — Sgt. Wayne Chastain and Lt. Dustin Newman — are DRE instructors, Lohner said. Others are officer Daniel Pelayo for the city and Sherif Travis Ash and Jeff Spencer, a retired Oregon State Police officer who is now employed as a deputy sheriff. Having those experts available to determine whether some type of drugwas affecting the suspect's ability to drive "becomes pivotal in

"People in the medical community have it pretty well dialed in," he said.' There area lotofother folks who don't understand how potentially powerful it can be. "It scares me to think about the threat to the community," he said. Lohner expects most enforcement action to be complaint driven. Police also will rely on confidential informants to make them aware of illegal marijuana activity. Or, as occasionally happens, when fiiends have a falling out "we tend to learn a lot of information," Lohner said.

he said. In addition to enforcing the new law, Lohner is concerned that burglaries and thefts might increase as people who don't have the ability to grow their own marijuana go after someone else's. And there's the concern that theodor ofincreased outdoor crops will result in complaints among neighbors, he said. The city has dealt with a handful of similar complaints in the lastfew yearsregarding medical marijuana, Lohner said. The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes was approved by Oregon voters in 1998. Lohner said there are two coursesofaction forpeople to settle their complaints about the odor of a marijuana grow. Neighbors could file a civil lawsuit or they could appeal to the City Council under Ordinance 97.14 of the city's property maintenance code. It applies to "nuisances not specifically enumerated" to include "every other thing, substance or act which is determined by the City Council to be injurious or detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of

The bill, HB 2041, would replace the $35-per-ounce tax on marijuana buds included in Measure 91 with a tax of 17 percent on all marijuana products. The $35-an-ounce tax would have been paid by growers, while the 17 percent tax — aswellasa taxof3 percent localities could choose to impose — would be paid by the retail buyer.

If so, the offending party would be cited and could face a fine and be orderedto abatethenuisance, which in this case would mean removing the marijuana causing the offending odor. In May, the City of Pendleton amended its nuisance ordinance to prohibit the odor of marijuana &om leaving a person's property, according to the East Oregonian newspaper.

:Legislatorsareweigh' g theiroptionsfor getting the legal retail market up and running sooner than the anticipated late-2016 startdate,butsofarthere's been no action in Salem. The OLCC is planning to begin issuing licenses for growers, processors, wholesalersand retailersearly next year. Unlike in Washington state, where retail licenses have been capped at 334, Oregon has not set a limit on the number oflicenses that will be issued at any level of the industry. Towslee said the current projection is the OLCC will receive around 2,000 applications and will approve roughly 1,300. Some of what'spossible once the state gives the legal market a green light could hinge on whether HB 3400 is passed into law. Under the bill, licensees would need to have lived in Oregon for two years prior to submitting their applications. The proposed law would also allow the 15 counties where at least55 percent of votersvoted againstMeasure 91 — all eastofthe Cascades, and including Crook and Jefferson counties — to bar retail sales with a vote of a city council or county commission. As passed, Measure 91 only allowed for such a ban through a vote of the public during a general election. : What if I want to ave a smoke or eat a brownie and go for a drive? : It's not a wtse idea. spitethepassage of Measure 91, driving under the influence of any amount of marijuana remains illegal. The OLCC and the Legislature have the option of establishing a measurable definition of marijuana intoxication, similar to the 0.08percentalcoholbyblood volume used to determine alcohol intoxication. Both Colorado and Washington have set their limits at 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter ofblood with a zerotolerancestandard fordrivers under 21. In both states, the scientific validity of the standard and the invasiveness of a blood draw relative to the breathtestused on suspected drunken drivers continue to be debated. Any standard Oregon arrives at will likely be similarly disputed, but in the meantime, driving under the influence of marijuana is effectively a zero-tolerance

I'm abusiness owner in my mid 50s, working long hard hours to grow my business. While I know every aspect of my business, technically, my weak spot is frnanciai management. I'mjust not a "debit and credit" kind of guy and I never have been. My issue is that my controllerisn't doing thejob Iwant done or thej ob I now know needs to be done. This came to light recently when I attended a conference and learned what kind ofreportsand analysis other company owners in my industry were receiving from their frnance department. My fellow owners were surprised to learn that I was not getting anything close to what they use to make more informed decisions. I was told that it only takes a few days for their monthly frnancial reports to be completed; mine are always several months behind tjate). The other owners explained about separation of duties within accounting and frnance to prevent temptation and the likelihood of playing with the numbers. My controller has been with me foryears and by all accounts is loyal and hardworking. I have no reason to suspect anything but his total honesty.

SALEM — Wheat yields are projected to take such a hit this summer that some Eastern Oregon growers may not even harvest theircrop,a seniorgrain merchandiser said. Sparse rainfall and diminished snowpack is the story for producersallacrosstheWest, butan unseasonable heat wave in late M ay andearly June hitdeveloping wheat plants at exactly the wrong time, said Dan Steiner of Pendleton Grain Growers.

Steiner said the heat wave came as wheat plants were in the stage of filling out their grain kernels. Evaporation stole what little water was left for plant development, he said. "It came at a very, very bad time," he said."A lot of moisture that could have gone to the kernel was simply lost." If temperatures had been in the 70s or 80s during that time, there would have been a chance to have an average crop, Steiner sald.

Bankreceiving resortsof susgiciouscalls WesCom News Servicestaff

WALLA WALLA, Wash. The Northwest Banner Bank in Walla Walla, Washington, continuesto receive reports of fraudulent phone calls to both clients and non-clients regardingtheirdebitand credit cards. Banner Bank is working on making the public aware that the calls are not from them. Banner Bank is a Washington-chartered commercial bank that conducts business from more than 100 locations in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. They also offer a wide variety of commercial banking services and financial products to individuals and small and medium-sized businesses as well as their employees throughout the Pacific Northwest. The fraudulent calls appear as ifthey areoriginating from the bank, and alert the recipient that their"Banner Bank card has been compromised" and to "pressoneto speak with an operator."After which, recipients are asked for their card information. 'These robo-calls are part of a phishing scam attempting to obtain bank account and personal information," said Dianne Larsen, senior vice president."Banner Bank has not been compromised and these calls are not from Banner Bank. Banner never asks for clients' personally identifiable information via the phone, text message or email." Banner Bank has alerted the proper authoritiesofthe fraudulentrobo-calls. Banner Bank has also pro-

For any Banner Bank clients that may have provideddebitor creditcard information to the fraudsters, they can call Banner Bank's clientservicesat1-800272-9933. Additionally, if anyone mistakenly provided bank account and personal information, or believes they are avictim ofidentity theft, they can visit www.idtheft. gov or call 1-877-IDTHEFT to reportthe crime tothe Federal Trade Commission.

New owners of Charley's Ice Cream Parlor in downtown Baker City include Dana Streifel, from left, Rachel Streifel, J.R. Streifel and Nicole Miller.

Charley's Ice Cream Parlor, Baker City's longstanding ice cream shop and cafe on the corner of Main and Broadway streets, has new owners. The Streifel family, who also own Grumpy's Auto Repair on H Street, took over Charlie's on May 11. Sisters Nicole, 25, and Rachel, 20, are managing the business while their mother, Dana, comes in often to help out and manage the books, which she also does at Grumpy's. Her husband, J.R. Streifel, runs the repair shop. aWe bought it as a family," Nicole said."It's something we've always been interestedin." The ice cream parlor was previously owned byMark Osborn and hiswife, Brandi, who took over the business after John Osborn, Mark's father, died

someone from the outside who has "been there and done that" as your chief financial officer and have your current controller report to him or her. With someone new at the helm, your frustration should soon disappear and your decision making will likely improve once you start receiving the information you need. If financial irregularities surface in your company as aresultofoutsidereview by competent professionals, they can advise you what the next steps should be to address both personnel and processes. Ken Kelleris a syndicated business columnist focused on the leadership needs of small and midsize closely held companies.

in July 2014. John Osborn owned the business for 12 years. "My dadhad itfor salebeforehe died," Mark said.aWe kept it open for his sake and said we'd keep it open for a year, and we did." Osborn said he just happened to run into J.R. Streifel, an old friend, about a m onth and a halfago. They got to talking about the business and agreed that J.R. and his family would be a good fit for Charley's. Rachel, who is J.R.'s youngest daughter, was working at Charley's last summer at the time of John's death. Rachel gave birth to her daughter, Maya, in October. Eight months later, Rachel is back behind the counter at Charley's, and M aya bounces on thefloorin herbaby walker.

Osborn said he wasn't looking exclusively for another family to take over the business, but he's glad it ended up that way. He andBrandihad been looking to take a step back from the business so they could spend more time with their three children. "Life's too short to not be spending time with your kids," said Osborn, who owns Classic Crown & Bridge II, a dental laboratory on Main Street. There have been a few changes to Charley's under the new management. The Streifels have added new chairs and tables have been added inside of the store, they're serving Sun Tea and are hoping to add new salad items to the menu. Both Rachel and Nicole said they expect any other changes will most likely happen this winter, when business slows.

Wholesale grocers, CountystartslIusinessdeuelogmentcenter potato growers settle • Former chamber lawsuit for $25M president to head The Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — A federal judge has signed off on a $25 million settlement in a lawsuit between wholesale grocersand potatofarming associati ons accused offorming a price-fixing cartel. Associated Wholesale Grocers filed the class-action lawsuit in 2010, contending thatpotato growers in Idaho and elsewhere conspired to raisepricesbyrestricting the number of acres planted and taking other steps to limit production. They said such moves raisedthe costofa 10-pound bag ofpotatoes from about

$9 in 2007 to roughly $15 in 2008. The defendants — including United Potato Growers of America, whose members produce about 75 percent of the potatoes grown in the U.S.— denied the claims. They said they were simply running an effective cooperative, focused on helping their members navigate the fluctuating potato market, and that their actions were allowed under the 1922 federalCapper-Volstead Act. The law gives a limited ex-

For more than a decade, the Wallowa County Business Facilitation has filled that role, helping dozens of businesses launch or expand. The facilitation's board and the Wallowa County Chamber of Comm erce made deci a sion

The paperwork in the case was also massive. The documents produced by the defendants alone totaled more than 3.6 million pages, according to court records obtained by The Associated Press. Settlement negotiations have frequently stalled over the past five years, but on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill in Idaho gave his preliminary approval to the settlement.

"Starting a catering business is just as complicated as a restaurant," Baker said. 'You need all the same things as a restaurant — kitchen, dining room, China, linens. There's not one less thing in a catering business that's alsorequired fora restaurant." Baker said there's really not much difference between running a restaurant versus running a catering business. Except there is more flexibility. "I can do my other job," said March, who practices acupuncture at Mountain Valley Therapy Ofllce,where he's worked for 23 years."I don't have to be in here all the time, like I would with a restaurant." He said ifhe wants to take a weekend off for a family event, then they don't schedule anything that weekend. It's an easy fix that, in the restaurant business, owners would not be able to have. Besides March's experience as a waiter in Portland, he's doesn't have a background in running a food business. He said he enjoys cooking, but that's about the extent of it.

Steiner said he's been in Oregon since 1988, including the past 15 years with Pendleton Grain Growers.'This is as bad as I've ever seen it." The same problems have hit wheat growersbefore,ofcourse.Steinersaid El Nino weather patterns always bring hot, dry summers and cold, dry winters, neither of which is good for dryland wheat. Blake Rowe, CEO of the Oregon Wheat Commission, said hot weather also raises the protein level of soft white wheat above what Asian buyers prefer. It won't drive customers away,

You're starting a restaurant at every event you're booked at. For everything that's easierfora catering business, there's equally as many things that are harder." Baker and March said the key to their business is to make the people feel that their event is special. Baker asks the people what they want for the menu, their ideas and vision for their event. And then he makes it happen. He takes into consideration what they want, their budget and how many people are involved. "Itdoesn'tmatterifthere's 7,000 meals, 700 meals or seven meals to prepare," Baker said. He can do it all, and he will make it special no matter what the number. He also offerspersonal chef events, cooking classes and China rental — something notoffered in the areapreviously. Last week, March and Baker were busy preparing for the Eastern Oregon Beer Festival.

M arc Stauff er. Hill said the center and the business facilitation have more similarities than differences and clients will see little change. ''We have absolute dedication to our clients and to the success of the business community in which they work. The differences are the funding method and the organization behind it," Hill said. Funding the business facihtatton fell largely to the business community and the county commissioners. Hill said the Development Center in Pendleton gets 25 percent of its funding from the Small Business Administration, 25 percent from Business Oregon and 50

percent from Blue Mountain Community College. Wallowa County will also reap from those sources as well as local funding administered by the board. 'The purpose of a community college is workforce development," Hill said. With 19 centers in the state and hundreds across the country with specialists in a variety of fields, Hill said the new center in Wallowa County, and Stauffer, have layers of support. Stauffer brings his own expertiseto the position with 35 years background in his own family business, Staufer Refinishing. 'The feedback I've gotten is he's absolutely the best one to do that job," Hill said.

but theywill be aware ofit, he said. Most of the wheat grown in the Pacific Northwest is exported to Japan, Korea and elsewhere, where it's used to make crackers,cakes and other products. Steiner said the bad weather this year isn't likely to change how farmers operate. Dryland growers don't have many options, he pointed out, "I would imagine they11 plant like they always do and try to be optimistic," he said.'The timing of that rain is absolutely critical.W e can'thave 100degreedays atthe end ofMa y and the first of June."
