Oregon Rep. Cliff Bentz said last week that the path to success in the future for small towns that dot the high desert steppes of Eastern Oregon really boils down to two key concepts: Patience and hard work.

Bentz, a Republican from Ontario, represents Malheur, 'I Baker and Harney counties and portions of Grant County in the Oregon Legislature.

He said the relationship beBentz tw e en local governments and stateand federalagenciesand general economic development continue to be the key themes expressed by voters when he tours his district.

"So I've been doing a lot of work trying to figure out how to improve the means of strengthening the amount of say folks up there (in Baker County) have," Bentz said.

"Or, at least, clearing up misconceptions that may exist about how much a county can really do when negotiating with the federal government."

Bentz said easy answers to such complex problemsasland-use and federaland state regulations simply do not exist. The critical element, he said, is developing a sturdy line of communication between state and federal agencies and local governments.

"I believe it is a question ofhow we more effectively communicate with the folks that are charged with managing the land, the Forest Service and the BLM. How do we do a better job of making our position clearer," he said.

Four fire engines quickly doused a fire of unknown origin that could have threatened several homes Saturday morning in the ponderosa pine forest along Pine Creek about 10 miles northwest of Baker City.

Three engines from the Baker Rural Fire Department and one from the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODFl limited the blaze to one-tenth of an acre, said Steve Meyer, protection supervisor at the ODF's Baker City offtce.

The fire was reported about 10:08 a.m.

It was burning in grass and brush in a pine forest within a couple hundred feet of two homes, Meyer said.

The area around Pine Creek west of Pocahontas Road, including Pine Creek and Ben-Dier roads, is what fire offtcials call the wildland-urban interface.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 7, 1964 The July and August schedule for the Baker County Public Library Bookmobile has been announced by Librarian Dale Perkins.

The County Bookmobile will make its first run starting Thursday, July 9, and will service the areas of Bridgeport, Hereford, Unity and Ironside on that date. For the balance of the two months the Bookmobile will service this area on alt ernateThursdays,July 23,Aug.6andAug.20.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 6, 1989 Rock Creek-area rancher Lonnie Shurtleff, 83, was named winner of the second annual Old Hands competition in Haines during Fourth of July festivitiesTuesday.

Shurtleff rode in the Fourth parade, then received his Old Hands award from Phyllis Brownlee, the organizer of the event.

"I don't know why they picked on rn," Shurtleff said before the parade."I just got old, I guess. All the others (contestantsj followed the same pattern. It was just a way to make a living."

Shurtleff said he still works his 100-acre ranch with 35 head of cattle, plus operates a sawmill.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 7, 2004 The water level at Brownlee Reservoir will fall slowly the rest of July, but all the reservoir's boat ramps should still be usable at least until then.

Idaho Power Co.,w hichowns Brownlee Dam, has sold 100,000 acre-feet of reservoir water to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPAj, which wants the water to help propel juvenile salmon down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean.

The $4 million deal requires Idaho Power to lower Brownlee by about one-third of a foot per day through July28,said Dennis Lopez,aspokesman atthe company's headquarters in Boise.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 15, 2013 Being prepared is an understatement when referring to the six sons of James and Marjorie Kerns.

Boy Scouting is truly a family affair, as each of the couple's sons has attained the rank of Eagle Scout after gaining the required 21 merit badges as required by the Boy Scouts ofAmerica (BSAj. Eli Kerns, 18, is the Kernses' youngest son and the latest to receive the honor. He has followed in the footsteps of his older brothers: Dan, Adam, Aaron, Matthew and Nathan.

BENTZ

BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A

"I think Baker City is

Continued from Page1A Bentz conceded that there are always an array of ways to debate a flash-point issue, but sweeping proclamations by proponents of one issue or another rarely produce the kind of results that can be translated into a tangible gain for local towns and counties.

"Idon'tseeitasvery productive to make loud noises," he said.

However, Bentz said he is as frustrated as anyone with what appears to be a barrier betweenstateand federal regulationsand thedesire of local communities to utilize public resources.

'To say I'm happy with the situation, well I'm not. But I want to go beyond that," he sald.

One area Bentz said was particularly frustrating is the ongoing controversy and struggle regarding timber.

He said searching fora viablemethod toharvestlarge tractsoftim ber isa challenge.

"Environmentally-driven litigation gridlock has locked down our forests. The result is nobody wants to try to log anything because all they will do is end up in court," Bentz said.

Bentz said he remains optimistic, though, that a solution to this situation exists.

"Ibelieve there are ways of fighting our way back into the woods and we should not give up," he said.

The search to leverage public land resources often ties directly into the creation of jobs, Bentz said. Economic development was another issue seemingly on the collective mind of voters when he visited Baker County several weeks ago Bentz said.

'The other thing that is a constant refrain is what can one do to increase the number of jobs in the community," he said Population growth over much of Bentz's district has created even more difficulties — although not everywhere,

he said.

"The fact that Baker City's population has been flat for so many years is a common occurrence across my entire district," he said Bentz said, though, that a community like Baker City does offer some unique attributes — including its location — that could help build a stable foundation for economic development. The reality, though, he said of any endeavorto attractmore jobs to a specific community is that it will take work.

And lots of it.

"There's a whole bunch of work that needs to be done if you are going to build on opportunitie sthatexistin the community. The effort to attractpeopletoBaker City is cluttered with distance and remoteness and current size and competit ion and alltypes ofstuff,"hesaid.

Bentz said there are two important components to improve the economic outlook in rural Oregon.

"Having people in the community that want to do something," he said."There has got to befolksthatare motivated and driven and wanting to start new businesses. And there has to be people. You have to have people who will work for your business and a bunch of folks that will support your business. In a small community the available work force is small."

That doesn't mean, Bentz said, that small towns in his district should simply throw in the towel. He pointed to Baker City as a good example of a place that makes what appear to be incremental changes or modifications that are actually quite crucial.

He said something as seemingly routine as a street

OB1TUARIES Continued from Page 2A

Glen Daugherty Baker City, 1924-2014

Glen based his life on honesty, trust, and a strong work ethic. That philosophy was instilled in the lives of his children, stepchildren, and grandchildren as well.

Throughout his life he always said "idle time for youth is a bad thing for youth."

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Florence Daugherty; his brother, Kenneth Daugherty; his sister, Barbara Murdoch; and his all-time favorite hunting dog and companion, Kate.

His wonderful stories and love of family will be missed by his wife of 40 years, Roberta"Bobbie" Daugherty; son, Randy DaughertyofBaker City,and his wife, Mary Ellen; daughter, Susan Rich of Springfield; stepsons, Dan Srack of Baker City, and his wife, Kim, and Doug Srack of Baker City and his wife, Denise; six grandchildren, Gretchen and Kath-

ryn Daugherty, Allison Rich, Andrew, McKenzie, Kyle Srack; and beloved little dog, Ellie Mae. Glen had a strong belief in college education even though he never received a college degree. Over many years, Glen and Bobbiecreated college savings accounts for their grandchildren. Gretchen graduated in 2012, McKenzie will graduatein March of2015,and Kathryn will begin her junior year this fall with Andrew, Kyle, and Allison up next.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that you re-invest in your own families by contributing to your own children's and grandchildren's secondary education, whether it is for current assistance or to pay off student loans in Glen's memory.

To honor Glen's legacy and to celebrate his life, Baker Garage, Inc. will be closed July 8, 2014 in his memory.

Services are under the direction of Coles Tribute Center, 1950 Place Street, Baker City, OR 97814.

EDITORIAL

unis n erne im osers Oregon isn't among the nine states that make it a criminal offense to impersonate someone online.

It should join that list.

Not every person who has his or her name coopted by a Facebook imposter suffers any real harm, of course.

But the potential for irreparable damage, whether to a victim's reputation or bank account, more than justifies adding to the state's criminal statutes.

Some existing laws could encompass certain types of online impersonation — fraud, identity theR and harassment, for instance, are all illegal in every state.

Still and all, the difference between a harmless prank — creating a Twitter account or Facebook page under a friend's name and posting silly pictures or slightly embarrassing quotes, say — and permanently sullying a person's name isn't always distinct.

In a recent case in Baker City, someone created a Facebook page pretending to be former City Councilor Gary Dielman, who's an elected member of the Baker County Library District board and of the Baker County Democratic Central Committee.

It's not clear what the imposter did, other than exchange online messages with at least one local resident.

But with no state law in place that deals explicitly with online impersonators whose motivations aren't blatant, Oregon is too inviting a place for imposters who might be trying to pull something other than a juvenile prank.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Government's computer woes Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: We are not alone. Oregon is far from the only state that has had problems getting its computers to run as they should. Whether they're used for student standardizedtestsor to keep track ofpeoplewith accounts atthe secretaryofstate'soffice,com puters seem togive government fits.

Thus at least five states have had problems with computersystems used to administer standardized tests associated with the Common Core curriculum. Seven states, meanwhile, had serious difficulties with computers attached to the Affordable Care Act, though surely none of the other six were as problem plagued as Oregon's.

Even the feds got into that particular act, by the way.

Oregon's problems don't stop there. In recent memory the state had major difficulties with computers in the Employment Department, and, in the mid 1990s, the motor vehicles division's computers failed. Too, the city of Portland's effort to install a new program governing w aterdepartment billswa sso problem-riddled ittook several years and more than $30 million to come up with something that worked.

Back in Salem, the secretary of state's office computers were hacked earlier this year, forcing a shutdown that deniedcitizens access to databases forroughly three weeks.

Now, The Oregonian reports there had been Internet alerts about problems with the open-source software at the secretary of state' office for weeks before the system was hacked, but state techies had failed to act upon those warnings.

The Oregonian is keeping the name of the software secret, meanwhile, because it's unclear if all state agencies have fixed the security problems associated with it.

Secrecy, at least for now, probably makes sense.

Computers and the programs created for them are tricky, no doubt about it. No doubt, too, that private businesses probably have difficulties when they make major changes in the software they use. They can often keep those problems to themselves, however, while most government agencies are denied that luxury.

But state agencies and those who lead them seem particularly vulnerable to the sort ofhubris that refuses to acknowledge difficulties until they can no longer be ignored. The fallout would be less, we suspect, if troubles were made public sooner, rather than later.

i artisani easnotinv o In politically gridlocked Washington, bothsides are frustrated.Each isbasically blaming its failures on the opposition's misuse of powers.

House Speaker John Boehner launched the latest round, seeking to halt President Barack Obama's repeated useofexecutive actionsto bypass congressional resistance to his"year of acti on."Obama has revised procedures for his signature health care law that a normally functioning Congress should have fixed, granted amnesty to thousands of young immigrants in the country illegally, limited carbon emissions from power plants, and refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act. Boehner announced he will sue Obama on grounds that these actions are unconstitutional. Though it's questionable he can win a legal struggle, his move illustrated Republican frustration over action or inaction by the Democratic Senate and administration blocking GOP initiatives like the repeal of Obamacare.

Italso headed offm ore rabidcolleagues eager to startim peachment proceedings against Obama.

After all, unlike younger colleagues, Boehner was in the House when its 1998 drive to impeach President Bill Clinton backfired politically against the

GOP. This new exchange erupted at a time when three concurrent events reminded many of how things used to be — or could be — between the president and Congress.

First was the death at 88 of former Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker of Tennessee. He epitomized the bipartisan cooperation that marked the Senate a generation ago.

Second was the Republican primary

CARL LEUBSDORF runoff in Mississippi. Veteran Sen. Thad Cochran defeated his tea party challenger by forming the kind of bipartisan coalit ion thatisrare thesedays,attracting support from primarily Democratic African-Americans. It's the kind of coalition Boehner has steadfastly rejected in the House.

Third was a report by the Bipartisan Policy Center, formed by four ex-Senate majority leaders including Baker, proposing an array of mostly modest proposals toreduce polarization ofthe nation's politics.

The center developed those recommendations after a series of town halls. iMy wife, Susan Page ofUSA Today, moderated the sessions but played no role in developing the recommendations.l Some of the proposals would reinstituteroutine procedures:regular monthly meetings between the president and congressional leaders, five-day Senate and House workweeks, and a returntoregular congressionalprocedures, including guaranteed votes on amendments.

Other proposals might have more impact, like urging states to adopt the kind of bipartisan redistricting commissions being used in Iowa and California to increase the number of competitive congressional districts, and to "strive to dramatically increase the number of voters" in primaries and generalelections through expanded voter registration.

The report ranged from some wishful

thinking, for instance, creating"a single, national congressional primary date in June," to logical ideas like adopting a two-yearfederalbudgetprocess such as the one used by many states including Texas.

Among the nongovernmental proposals isthe oft-suggested idea requiring all Americans between 18 and 28 to pursue a year of voluntary service — in the military, the Peace Corps, or in a nonprofit or religious organization.

In the current climate, it will be surprising if many of the Bipartisan Policy Center proposals are adopted.

Meanwhile, last week saw renewed verbalfi re between Obama and Boehner. When the president sought $2 million to deal with the flood of immigrants from Central America, he disclosed that Boehner recently told him the House will not vote on any immigration bill this year, even one of its own.

As a result, the president said he'll try to 'fix as much of our immigration system as I can, on my own, without Congress.

"If House Republicans are really concerned about me taking too many executive actions," he added pointedly,"the best solution to that is passing bills."

Boehner brushed that off with a familiar excuse. Because of Obama's actions, the speaker said, "The American peopleand their elected officialsdon't trust him to enforce the law as written.

Until that changes, it is going to be difficult to make progress on this issue."

By Howard Fendrich LONDON — Roger Federer already had saved one match point in the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic, and had won four games in a row in the fourth set.

As both players sat on the sideline during the changeover before Federer was going to serve to try to force a fifth set,most ofthe nearly 15,000 spectators began chanting"Ro-ger! Ro-ger!

Ro-ger!"

Federer did extend the match. He could not manage to win it. Falling just short of what would have been his record eighth championship at the All England Club, Federer lost to Djokovic

Federer was playing in his first Grand Slam final since 2012, when he beatAndy Murray in the final at the All England Club to earn his record 17th Grand Slam trophy overall.

For most of this fortnight, Federer played superbly, serve-and-volleying more than usual and getting broken only once in 89 service games heading into Sunday.

"It's thebestRoger I've seen in years," said Djokovic's coach, Boris Becker, a three-time Wimbledon champion who had a playing rivalry against Federer's coach, Stefan Edberg.

"In a match like the one today, where I needed support, they were there. I could sense that they really wished me well and hoped for me to either get back in the match or hopefully lift another trophy here at Wimbledon," Federer said about the crowd.

"I already have seven. It's not like I need another one," he added. "But it would have been awfully nice to have it. I think that's what the feeling was of thepeople,and Ifeltthat."

A month shy of his 33rd birthday, and a father to two sets of twins, Federer would have been the oldest man in more than a half-century to win Wimbledon. He also would have

Plen of ways to beat the heat We were spoiled by a cool June.

Daily temperatures ofhighs in the 80s will be a thing of the past for the next couple of months. The heat is here so we might as well enjoy it.

How lucky we are to be surrounded by creeks, rivers, lakes and ponds, cool mountain trails and parks with lush green grass No matter the time of day there are ways to beat the heat that arefree,and fun forallages.

Have you ever considered going to a park first thing in the morning? Not only does an early park outing allow you to avoid the heat, but also you are likely to have the park to yourself.

Head on over right after breakfast when kids are usually cheery anyway.

It's a great way to start the day. The chores and errands can wait until it startsto heatup.

AND SO IT GROWS

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

CHRIS CQLLINS

'Tis a season

tothink about trees As I've watched spring turn into summer in Baker City, trees have been on my mind.

And with them, the song"All the Girls I've Loved Before."It'snotoneof my favorite tunes, in fact I think it's kind of sappy — pun intended — and maybe that's why my mind has incorporated the melody with my thoughts of trees.

The song, popularized in a duet sung

by Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias in the '80s, contains lyrics about the women who have"come in and out their doors."

I have turned the tune to my own theme:"All the Trees I've Loved Before."

I would sing,"... that I've enjoyed in the great outdoors."

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Rules, and those who break them It felt like a Saturday as I drove down 12th Street, shifting over to Sixth Street via Gekeler Lane, with full views of Mount Emily directly ahead.

It wasn't Saturday but only Wednesday and the Saturday feeling was not one like I had known in the past.

My eyes poked into the tall evergreens on the far slope of the landmark mountain in search of snow — any m ound hidden beneath the tree branches — spotting none despite my probing.

Time to plant early garden. How often the gardening theory had been pressed to my ears that you don't plant until all of the snow leaves Mount Emily.

Summer treats are a great way to escape the heat!

There is nothing more refreshing than healthy snacks made with the abundance of summ er fruit s.

Who doesn't have memories of eating watermelon or ice cream in the summertime?

I am sharing with you my two favorite recipes that combine them both: Watermelon Fruit Popsicles and Watermelon Sorbet.

Theserecipes areeasy and delicious for kids of all ages.

Please know that you can be creative with the popsicles using many different types of fruit. The pureed watermelon helps to hold the popsicle together.

Watermelon Fruit Po sicles 3 Cups watermelon puree (about 1/4 to 1/2); you can use honeydew or melon puree.

1/2 Cup fresh blueberries 1/2 Cup chopped strawberries 1/2 Cup blackberries 2 Kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced 1 Cup cherries, seeded and sliced 1 Dozen popsicle molds

I used fresh organic fruit. This is a great casein-free alternative to ice creams.

Fill the popsicle molds with the freshly chopped fruit. Pour the watermelon puree into each mold filling to the top.

Place in your freezer for 6-8 hours. Run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicle.

Watermelon Sorbet 4-5 Cups watermelon The juice of one lime 1/4 Cup honey 1/8Teaspoon Guar Gum (optional) Finding healthy refreshing summertime deserts is one way to get through those hot summer days. Watermelon is full of antioxidants and offers high amounts of lycopene, which has been found to be protective against certain forms of cancer. This recipe of Watermelon Sorbet is sugar-free and simple to make. Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until the honey is mixed and the watermelon is pureed.

Freeze the watermelon for at least 6 hours. Return to the food processor and using the pulse button, pulse into a nice sorbet texture. Using an ice cream scoop serve and enjoy immediately.

etbn atasteo o ise — on oot One of my purposes in writing"Out and About"is toprovidesuggestions for those ofyou who wish to do some weekend traveling and want to know in advance what to expect without having to do a lot of research.

Peoplehave begun to teaseme about making so many trips to Boise. In response to them I have to say that Boise is an easy weekend trip and has much to offer.

Several weeks ago Dale and I made another trip to Boise. After all the other visits this one showed us something new and refreshingly different. Many times we have a particular mission to accomplish and this one was no different. We neededto have am ajorservicefor our car.

Normally our lodging is not within walking distance of anything ofinterest so we spend a lot of time in the car driving fiom place to place. This time with no car, and than4 to some research done by Dale prior to the trip, we had a great time.

He had located a wonderful place to stay — Hotel 43. The name comes from the fact that it is on the 43rd parallel in the 43rd state.

Its location is on West Grove and is within walking distance

This covered at least six city blocks with booths on both sides of the street selling just about anything you could imagine. Plus there was music of some kind in every block. Eighth Street was blocked off and at each crossstreettherewas a guard to control the amoeba-like grouping so that neither the cars nor the people were inconvenienced. One ofthecrossstreetshosted a Gay PrideParade as partofaday-long festival.

It had been nearly two hours since we had had any food, so what looked good? Well, to be truthful, nearly everything. So we sharedand tried severalthings.

The Himalayan dumplings with cilantro curry sauce were pretty tasty, but the 16-inch crepe filled with turkey, artichoke pesto, Swiss cheese, spinach, and huckleberry balsamic sauce was my favorite.

How does one eat this creation?

It was very easy. The filled crepe was rolled and placed in a long narrow triangular box on a piece of paper that pulled out as you were ready to take the next bite. It was really quite efficient and not at all messy.

DORY Continued ~om Page 1B There was no problem crossingstreetsasIdrove,for the feeling of a sleepy town was supported by the lack of cross traffic. How often had I thought that we needed a traffic light or at least a fourway stop at Gekeler and 12th, N and Sixth. It belied the necessity on this sunny day.

Funny howIhad told myself that it felt like Saturday when the ones I had known in my younger days had been full of a busy, noisy downtown.

Even at the post office there was no traffic lined up to mail last-minute missiles before the truck would gather and leave town with its load of mail.

I laid the absence of traffic to the feet of schools, now on summer vacation, but it couldn't account for it all.

Parking was available wherever I chose in the business district. The men who had earlier hollered my name in a fiiendly fashion kom high on the Phoenix building scaffolding were missing at lunchtime, but I cast an eye up that way, admiring their continuing work to beautify the building. Only in La Grande, I had thought as I had called back to them.

"I like it," I would have encouraged them this day.

Workmen were busy at the city hall's west side steps, plastic sheeting protecting the sheared shrubbery on either side. That they were about ready to call it a day came by their activity of packing their rig with buckets kom which they had toiled and cleaning up the areas so that their presence would soon be unknown except for the yellow warning tape.

Traffi cm oved up and down the main thoroughfare in polite passage; customers in placesofbusiness blended theirvoicesintothefabricof

the places they kequented; folks basked in the warmth of the sunshine. My lunch companion and I were unhurried.

Things were being accomplished on this business day as usual, but I still felt a hushed silence penetrating my day.Iwasrelaxed overmy meal and last cup ofbrew.

That is, until bicyclists pellmelled down the Adams Avenue sidewalk right outside the restaurant windowpane, bursting into the middle of myday.

The hair bristled on the back of my neck. I don't have much hair left to bristle but I felt it bristle just the same.

"How dast they ruin my

day," Daphne growled, popping up from nowhere.

'Tve been told that there are no longer any rules and we may as well get used to it," I whispered to her in confidence as another bicyclist rodeby going the opposite direction. A car turned around in the middle of the street to park on the other side, headingin thereverse direction.

"I never will," she retorted.

"Rules and laws are made for a specific reason to help us all.

I've even seen skateboarders whizzing by on the downtown sidewalks and get away with itin spite of the law. They go so fast they could hurt someone seriously. Why doesn'teveryone have to obey the rules?"

Just then we saw the lady police officer park her little white car, get out and begin her two-hour parking limit tire-marking warning job kom the sidewalk as she strolled along, enjoying the loveliness of the day, doing double-duty.

Daphne and I looked at each other. Then she spoke again.

"I guess it depends on who you are and which rules you choose to break," she said sadly."How much more time do we have left on our car?"

OUT SABOUT Conti nued ~om Rge 1B This topped off with a mug of Boise's own BuckSnortroot beer made a wonderful morning complete.

This trip was close to some of our European travel experiences.

The weather was perfect, there were hundreds of people having fun, food smells Sled the air, and as we traveled on foot for block after block no one was complaining about parkingproblems. This causedme tobelievethatifthereissomethingtolook atorsom ething to do, mostpeople are willing to walk a distance.

Continued ~om Page 1B The first tree that made a lasting impression on my life still grows in what was my grandparents' kont yard when I was a little kid. The gigantic weeping willow now shades the back side of my sister's home on the same property.

When my little sister, my big brother and I were growing up in the early 1960s, the willow shaded my grandparents' yard through the heat of summer. And it providedthe fi rsttree-climbing lessons for my sister, my brother and me.

We girls watched in awe as our champion tree-climbing brother made his way cleartothetop ofthewillow that already seemed humongous all those 50-some years ago.

Granddad regaled us with the story ofhow the tree was not much more than a twig when he and Grandma planted it.

For the past decade or so, the tree has been the anchor for a tire swing and a climbing rope for the next generations: my sister's kids and grandkids and their cousins.

Not every memory of the treeispleasant.Forone thing, it always did — and still does — drip "honeydew," a product secreted by the aphids that thrive in the tree. And anyone familiar with aphids knows what a sticky mess the honeydew creates.

M ost Caribbean coralreefs will disappear within the next 20 years unless action is taken to protect them, primarily due to the decline of grazers such as sea urchins and parrotfish, a new report has warned.

A comprehensive analysis by 90 experts of more than 35,000 surveys conducted at nearly 100 Caribbean locations since 1970 shows thatthe region'scoralshave declined by more than 50 percent.

But restoring key fish populations and improving protection from overfishing and pollution could help the reefs recover and make them more resilient to the impacts ofclimate change, according to the study from the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the U.N.'s Environment Program.

While climate change and the resulting ocean acidificationand coralbleaching does pose amajor threattothe region, the report — Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012found that local pressures such as tourism, overfishing and pollution posed the biggest problems.

And these factors have made the loss of the two m ain grazer species,the parrotfish and sea urchin, the key driver of coral decline in the Caribbean.

Grazers are important fish in the marine ecosystem as they eat the algae that can

smother corals. An unidentiied disease led to a m ass f mortality of the sea urchin in 1983 and overfishing throughout the 20th century has brought the parrotfish population to the brink of extinction in some regions, accordingto the report.

Reefs where parrotfish are notprotected have suffered significant declines, including Jamaica, the entire Florida reef tract from Miami to Key West, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. At the same time, the report showed that some of the healthiest Caribbean coralreefsare those that are home to big populations ofgrazing parrotfish.These include the U.S. Flower Garden Banks national marine sanctuary in the northern Gulf of Mexico, Bermuda and Bonaire — all of which have restricted or banned fishing practices that harm parrotfish.

to 9percent oftheworld's coral reefs, but only around one-sixth of the original coral cover remains. The reefs, which span 38 countries, are vital to the region's economy and support the more than 43 million people, generating more than $3 billion annually from tourism and fisheries and much more in other goods and services.

According to the authors, restoringparrotfish populations and improving other management strategies could help the reefs recover."The rate at which the Caribbean corals have been declining is truly alarming," said Carl Gustaf Lundin, director of IUCN's global marine and polar program."But this study brings some very encouraging news: the fate of Caribbeancoralsisnot beyond our control and there are some very concrete steps that we can take to help them recover."
