Marcus Pratt,18, of North Powder, takes aim at a buffalo target on Sunday, the second day ofthe Eastern Oregon Super Shoot at Anthony Lakes ski area.

By Coby Hutzler chutzler©bakercltyherald.com

This weekend's Eastern Oregon Super Shoot saw 411 archers hone their skills on the slopes of the Anthony Lakes ski area.

'That's about 120 more than we usually do," said Bob Reedy, president of the Elkhorn Archers in Baker City, which organized the event along with theGrande Ronde Bowmen in La Grande.

Archers came kom Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington and California for the 12th-annual Super Shoot at Anthony Lakes.

The event saw everyone kom experienced archeryhunters looking to test their equipment to families out for a fun weekend.

Placed amund the ski area were 80 3-Dtargetsthatranged in appearance kom warthogs and elk to rearing cobras and dinosaurs.

With hikingroutes between targets m arked by flagging tape,theevent was as much a test of participants' stamina as their aim.

Money was on the line, too.

Some of the targets featured small orange"moneydots."Archers who hit moneydots won cash prizes.

Fire Season

The storm Coby Hutzler/Baker City Herald

Archers hit the mark with this wild boar target, one of 80 targets at the annual Eastern Oregon Super Shoot competition this weekend.

Craig Gravem of Mount Vernon, Oregon, was on the mountain with his girlkiend's son, Austin, 12. It was Austin's first time at the Super Shoot, and Craig said the practice was especially valuable for younger shooters.

"It's a good place to teach young kids how to judge yardage,"Gravem said.

This, he said, would help to ensure thatyoungerarchersare abletoget killing shots while out on hunts. ''We don't want to injure animals," Gravem said, echoing a sentiment

shared by many of the archers on the mountain this weekend.

Doug Forman of North Powder has been shooting since 1983. He said the way the targets are set up atAnthony Lakes makes the event reaiistic, and simulates the kinds of shots that archers would be faced with on real hunts when the month-long deer and elk archery season starts in late August.

Baker City," Hutchinson, manager of the Baker Valley Vector Control District, said this morning.

The fog, in this instance, is a pyrethrin-based liquid that kills adult mosquitoes.

Hutchinson said the district's two pickup truckmounted foggers will start work after 9 p.m. today, so long as the winds are relatively gentle.

(Strong winds disperse the fogand make itlesseffective.)

The widespread mosquito menace is a mystery in part due to its suddenness, Hutchinson said.

that got things started

By Pat Caldwell pcaldyyell©bakercltyherald.com

The storm system that sparkedsome ofthe largest wildfires of the 2014 season began innocently enough as a typical summer low-pressure system off the Pacific coast.

Yet by the time the system careened over Oregon during theweekend ofJuly 11-13 it had spawned a number of fires across the state — including the huge Buzzard Complex blaze near Burns — and it delivered more than 3,000 lightning strikes over a parched area of Oregon.

The Buzzard Complex Fire ballooned into the nation's largest blaze after consuming more than 600 square miles of rangeland — 384,000 acres, about 20 percent the size of Baker County.

"It was definitely one that had a lot of lightning strikes with it," said Mary Wister a meteorologist attheN ational Weather Service's office in Pendleton.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 29, 1964 Leslie Lott of Baker has been accepted for apprenticeship training as an Orthotist at the Shrine Hospital in Portland, according to an announcement today.

Training for Lott as a licensed Orthotist will require four years at the Shrine Hospital in specialized training at the University of California, Los Angeles. After this an examination is required before a license is issued.

Training as an Orthotist teaches the construction, fitting and application of body braces.

Leslie is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lott, 2285 Court St., Baker. He was a graduate of Baker High School in 1963.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 28, 1989 Fires burning in the Dooley Mountain area south of Baker continued to give firefighters problems today after growing to more than 1,000 acres Thursday evening.

Dubbed the Dooley Complex, four fires totaling 1,200 acres still are not controlled approximately three miles south of the Dooley Mountain summit. According to Bruce McMillan of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest planning staff, the four fires range in size from five acres to 1,000 acres. It was unknown this morning how many of the fires had combined.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 28, 2004 Baker City Manager Jerry Gillham probably will celebrate his first anniversary on the Iob somewhere other than Baker City.

Probably in Iraq.

Gillham was called to active duty in the Army National Guard last week.

Gillham, who turns 49Thursday, has served in the military for 29 years, including a stint in the Navy Reserves.

He told the City CouncilTuesday evening that he expects to leave in October for Fort Drum, N.Y. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 5, 2013 Baker City Councilors have spent years discussing how to upgrade treatment of its municipal drinking water.

Now, with many residents diagnosed with cryptosporidium and the parasite confirmed in the city's water, some councilors are hoping the city's water-treatment project can be fast-tracked.

Another thought is that spending more money for a filtration plant instead of the less costly UV treatment would be best.

I ahowoman iesincrashonl- 4 A 60-year-old Idaho woman died Saturday night in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 84 about 10 miles north of Baker City in which threeother peoplewerealso injured.

Tanda Kay Pratt, of Blackfoot in Eastern Idaho, was pronounced dead at St. Alphonsus Medical CenterBaker City Saturday night,

according to the Oregon State Police.

The accident happened about 10:38 p.m. in the freeway's westbound lanes.

A 2010 Ford F350 pickup truck hauling a camp trailer veered into the freeway median, and both vehicles rolled, according to OSP. The pickup's driver was Todd B. Pratt, 30,alsoofBlackfoot.

There were two other passengers in addition to Tanda Pratt — Joe L. Pratt, 61, of Blackfoot, and Austin B Parker, 23,ofPocatello,Idaho Joe Pratt and Todd Pratt were both taken by air ambulance to St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise. Todd was listed in serious condition today and Joe's condition was critical, said Josh Schlaich,

St. Alphonsus spokesman in Boise.

Parker was taken by ground ambulance to the Baker City hospital. Information about his condition was not available in time for this report.

OSP is investigating the cause of the accident, which closed the westbound lanes of the freeway temporarily.

BUGGED

"It just took ofE" Hutchinson said.

City residents continued toreportmosquito problems through the weekend, he sald.

Typically the mosquitoes that annoy city residents hatched not in town but in flood-irrigated fields in Baker Valley, Hutchinson said.

He said it's possible that mosquitoes migrated into town after their preferred hiding habitat — hay fields — were temporarily eliminated when hay was cut for curing and baling.

The most plausible source of city-bred mosquitoes is

the storm sewer system, but Hutchinson said he and hiscrew distributed larvaekilling product in the storm sewers on July 20 and 21.

Hutchinson said he'll be studying mosquitoes from the district'snetwork oftraps in the city to see if, as he suspects, the bugs are the floodwater mosquitoes that hatch in the valley, or whether they'r e a differentspecies that might have grown up inside the city limits.

Either way, he said, the foggers will be visiting every part of town this week.

The foggers should substantially pare the mosquito

population, Hutchinson said.

Iffogging isn'tsuccessful he'll consider hiring an airplane to spray town.

"That's very expensive and I'm really hoping it doesn't come to that," Hutchinson said."But if that's what needstobedonewe'lldo it."

Hutchinson said he continues to test trapped mosquitoesforWest Nilevirus— so far the disease has not been found in local mosquitoes.

West Nile virus has been confirmed so far this year in mosquitoes from only one Oregon county: Morrow, in the Columbia Basin west of Pendleton.

Continued frorn Page1A "It's kind of strange," said Hutchinson, who's responsible for dealing with mosquitoes in the 200,000acre Vector Control District, which includes most of Baker, Bowen and Keating valleys.

"The past couple weeks mosquito numbers in our traps in town have been (lown.

Hay belonging to BrentThompson burned Saturday evening along Highway 30 between Haines and North Powder.

Thompson was attending Huckleberry Festival festivities in North Powder with family when the fire was reported between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. No other information was available in time for today's issue.

STORM Continued ~om Page1A Wister said high temperaturesbefore the storm rolled in played a keyrole in its impact.

"One thing to keep in mind is in early July, before the event happened, we were very hot, temperatures in the 90s.

Initially, when you have such hot and dry conditions you have a storm move through it can be a big one,"Wister said.

The hot temperatures at ground level help fuel storms.

"During the summer when you have a lot ofheating at the surface or at the ground and you get a storm system move through, what happens is the air mass becomes more buoyant,"Wister said.

Thatcausesthe airtorise where it cools and forms thunderheads.

While often the first culprit behindalargenumber of wildfires is drought, in this case it was more about the sheer number oflightning strikes.

Katie Hetts, an acting fire analyst for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland, said there were a number of variables

RYE VALLEY FIRE CONTAINED AT COST OF S1.35 MILLION The lightning-sparked Rye Valley fire near Huntington in southeastern Baker County was contained Sunday evening at1,516 acres.

The fire, which startedTuesday night, threatened several homes, but fire crews were able to save all structures.

Firefighting costs totaled $1.35 million, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry.

that all lined up at the right time tocreate aseverefi re dangerfi om what she termed as a"mass ignition event."

"More of a caseofam ass ignition event and the weather pattern rightafter the mass ignition event lining up," Hetts said."Basically it was a combination of the sheer volume of ignitions, combined with some instability in the weather which led to fire growth and followed by very hot and dry warming conditions."

Hetts said the biggest impactfrom the storm occurred July 12 and 13. eWe had 3,400 lightning strikes in 24 hours. Followed by very unstable weather which allowed the fires to grow. By Monday we had big

You never tell her enough that you love her

fires," she said.

Wister said that while the storm was not unprecedented, it was imposing. ''We get storms like that once a year. I'd say it was not totally uncommon, but it's impressive though," she said.

So is theprice tagfor taxpayers regarding firefighting cost. The annual cost attached to battling wildfires began to skyrocket in 2000 and the outlays continue to climb even as the 2014 fire season is still in its infancy and the total of number scorched acres nationally this year is down.

"So far this year in 2014 we arebelow average nationally for both number of fires and acres burned. We are about 70 percent of our 10-year average for the number of fires," said Jennifer Jones, spokesperson at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise.

Jonessaid sofarthis year 31,000 fires have been recorded across the nation, down from a ten-year average at this time of45,000 blazes.

Federal firefighting costs began to climb in 2000. That year, taxpayers spent 1.4 billion on wildfire suppression across the nation. In 2012 the pricetagforfi re suppression

Oregon's 18 majorblazes led the nation Thursday.

Arizona reported one major fire, while California reported 2; Colorado 2, Idaho, 2, Utah 4 and Washington state 4.

The Northwest is already at National Preparedness Level 5, Jones said. When an area is falls into the National Preparedness Level 5 it means major fires may be on theverge ofdraining area firefighting resources. ''When a fire starts, let's say in the Baker City area, you'll have your local cooperating agencies, whether it is the Wallowa-Whitman Forest, Oregon Department of Forestry, BLM, and those local land management agencies have a certain amount of re fisuppression assetsat their disposal," Jones said.

When those local resources are consumed, she said, then firefighters can request outside assets through the Boise Interagency Fire Center.

"At a certain point or time when Oregon and Washington have so much fire

stood at $1.9 billion and in 2013thestruggle extinguish

fires cost $1.7 billion.

While nationally so far this year the fire season remained fairly tranquil, across the Northwest, fire crews remain busy.

Late last week a total of 18 majorfi resburned in Oregon, blistering about 600,000 acres, Jones said.

between those two states, the region is maxed out and they can come here. That is the situation they are in right now. Your region is at preparedness level 5 which means basically they have just about exhausted all of theirregional resources," Jones said.

A number of factorsmuch of it triggered by drought — creates a potentially severe combination that can often allow wildfires to prosper.

"Long-term drought, climate change, hazardous fuel buildups and invasive species sortofsetthe stage.You get those long-term persistent conditions, you get the right lightning, dry weather and winds and you will see the first we are seeing now," Jones said.

The early July storm took advantageofthose conditions and then mixed in a potent arrayoflightning to create a sequence ofblazes across the state, fires that in many cases, are still burning.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

As Americans grow older, financial pressure on the federal Medicare system also grows. The older we get, the more likely we are to be hospitalized, and recovery at home is less expensive than recovery in a hospital or other care facility.

That's why the Obama Administration's decision to cut payments to home health providers under the Afordable Care Act makes so little sense. It's also why U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, has introduced legislation that would eliminate most of those cuts and shik the way payments to home health provider companies are made.

As things now stand, home health agencies can expect a 3.5 percent reduction in payments each year through 2017, a 14 percent reduction in all. Even the board that sets Medicare rates acknowledges the impact of those cuts — 40 percent of such agencies w ould be losing money by 2017,itsays.

Here, the impact would be even worse. Some 70 percent ofhome care agencies would be losing money by 2017, Walden says, with the greatest impact felt in rural Oregon, where access to health care can be limited and poverty levels high.

Walden's SAVE (Securing Access Via Excellence) Medicare Home Health Act takes a diferent approach.

It would allow the 2014 home health care cuts to remain in place, but in the following years, it directs the Department of Health and Human Services to create measures ofhospital readmission rates, one of which would allow the department to identify potentially preventable readmissions. They're the onesthat can be avoided,oken,by adequate and less expensive care in a patient's home.

Once that is done, the bill would have HHS establish a'Value-Based Purchasing Program" that would reward home care providers for high-performing agencies, those whose readmission rates were lowest, and cut payments to agencies with exceptionally high hospital readmission rates.

It is a sensible way to save money as it improves care.

So far, no Democrats have cosponsored the SAVE Medicare measure. That's unfortunate. A bill that rewards good service and punishes service that is sub-par is a logical way to solve a problem that could force Medicare to spend more than it now does.

GUEST EDITORIAL From the Los Angeles Times: International outrage over the downing ofaM alaysian passengerplaneover Ukraine on July 17 does not appear to haveaffectedeitherthe actionsofproRussia forces in that country or the material support Russia is offering the rebels.

On Wednesday, the separatists apparently shot down two Ukrainian warplanes flying near the border with Russia. Then on Thursday, the US. accused Russia of firing artillery fiom its territoryinto Ukraine.

If Russia continues to abet the Ukrainian armed resistance, it must pay a price, as even European nations previously reluctant to impose significant sanctions are beginning to realize. This week the Europeans moved toward expanding sanctions directed atRussian offi cialsand organizations linked to the rebellion in eastern Ukraine, and they are considering following the lead of the US. and imposing sanctions against sectors of the Russian

economy, induding defense and energy.

But some American politicians and policymakers would go beyond economic and diplomatic efforts and provide the Ukrainian government with military support. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has implored the Obama administration"to give the Ukrainians weapons with which to defend themselves."That would be a mistake.

It's not clear that the Obama administration is seriously considering McCain's advice. The U.S. has provided food, body armorand uniforms to Ukraine and has promised to deliver medical supplies and night-vision goggles as well. This week the Washington Times quoted a Pentagon spokesman as saying that the U.S. also planned"to support the Ukrainian military through subject-matter expert teams and longterm advisors."

Ifby"advisors" the administration means computer experts and payroll

managers, that's one thing. But deploying "advisors"who are military strategists or uniformed soldiers would be reckless and provocati ve.Sowould providing Ukraine with lethal weapons.

A proxy war between the United States and Russia would be dangerous even ifit didn't lead to a direct military confiontation between the two nuclear powers. It also would undermine Obama's insistence that the U.S., while it supports Ukraine's sovereignty and independence, doesn't regarditaspartofa Cold Wa rchessgame with Russia.

Finally, although it obviously continues to encounter resistance, Ukraine is gradually gaining military control ofrebel-held areas on its own. Russia could help end the fightingifit stopped its interference and incitement. As long as itrefuses to do so, the US. and its allies should keep up the pressure — but stay off the battlefield.

Bolstered by the nearly 400-square-mile wildfire in north-central Washington, this year's wildfire season has been widespread, with dozens of fires burning at the same time.

So far, state estimates put the cost of fire suppression at just over $50 million. Nearly half of that cost comes from the Carlton complex fire in north-central Washington with a tally of $23.3 million.

The next-biggest costis the Chiwaukum fire in central Washington.

Those figures don't include lossofproperty and damage to intrastructure. The Carlton fi re hasburned about 300 homes andheavily damaged the power grid in the scenic Methow Valley.

At nearly 400 square miles, the lightning-caused Carlton Complex has eclipsed the 1902 Yacolt Burn, which killed 38 people and consumed about 373 square m iles, or 238,920 acres,in southwest Washington.

DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Learning to swim: An

invaluable lesson Occasionally someone will ask me if it isn't difficult to come up with something new to sit down and write about for my column week after week, week after week. And, I must admit that it is absolutely No problem at all, for I usually have several columns already in the wings waiting to see the light of day/print when they serve my need, occasion, or substitute should I have a slow-down in a particular week. When I start to run out of a possible line-up is when I start getting nervous as to the possibility that I will never have another thought that needs expressed.

For someone who loves to write, must write, this column has served as the perfect platform in spiteofthefactthat I'm too wordy. From time to time I've even thought of it, given the opportunity, as being a daily expression as to how I view the world. How is that for sounding smug when I don't mean to be? It's just the joy of revealing oneself on paper versus by word of mouth or letting the thoughts go by unexpressed, unborn, to die unrevealed.

Take today, for instance, when I had a column all ready to go, but upon awaking I knew that I wanted to write about swimming. I don't know the why ofitexceptIhad amental picture of summertime activities that included swimming and this certainly is the time of year we all think about searching for ways in which to enjoy the summer.

The picture I saw in my mind was my youngest son coming up through the water, gasping for air, and going under again followed by my frantic terror ofnotbeing able to savehim from possible drowning. It wasn't a dream but a remembrance of one summer many long years ago when he was about four years old.

Teaching children to swim is such an important part of their lives that I cannot express it strongly enough and we triedtogiveourchildren theopportunity wherever lessons were available to them in case they or someone else's life was in jeopardy.

Living as far as we did from such facilities as a child, myself, I was wellacquainted with the most available swimming being done in the river, not a city pool.

By Karen Kain ForyyesCom News Service

Nothing beats summer salads. I love summer and all the fresh fruit and vegetables it brings. With the temperatures high effortless salads are a must in our home. Here are two delicious and simple recipes full of fabulous flavors. The Nectarine & Cherry Salad is refreshingand a perfectparty pleaser.M ake just a few hours ahead of time so the flavors combine.

My second recipe is from the cookbook, "In Season", Ihavecooked afew great recipes from here. I love summer avocados they are a really healthy source of fat and perfectly delici ous.Avocados areconsidered tohave a wide range of anti-inflammatory benefits and an impressive list of carotenoid antioxidants.

Not too mention they support cardiovascularhealth and help to regulateblood sugar regulation. There are many reasons to eat avocados;Im ostly do itbecause they are delicious!

I serve the salad at room temperature or warm. If served warm, omit the goat cheese, or crumble it on top at the last minute, so it doesn't melt, but just softens slightly. The salad can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.

Let it come to room temperature before serving; it may need to be reseasoned after having been refrigerated.

DORY Conti nued ~om Ibge 1B At the time, La Grande didn't have a municipal swimmingpool other than the short time the Crystal Plunge existed overbytherailroad trackswhere the Second Streetviaduct came into being rather than cmssing the tracks themselves on foot. With a sad legacy, the pool soon dosed and was covered over.

Another swinmnngpool facility was at Cove withits warm water and a perfect place for swimminglessons fmm Harvey Carter and with picnic gmunds at hand. I tried to learn to swim there under Mr. Carter's tutelage and again at Pine Cone Auto Camp to the west of La Grande where there was a swinmnng pool and picnic gmunds, also little cottages which could be rented by travelers. The water was taken duectly fmm the Grande Ronde River flowing alongits side and was soul-chilling cold.

As far as learning to swim was concerned, I felt an absolute failure.

Oddly enough, after marriage, I spent time at the Young Women's ChristianAssociation (YWCAl in Salem in their swimmingpool. I was invited to join the water ballet gmup of young women to do synchronized swinmnng. We were to make a large flower, each of ourbodiesserving asa petalas we dove beneath the surface and came up together, floating on our backs with our feet to the center. It was a lovely sight and I loved participating.

Unfortunately, I had to giveitup becauseIbecame disoriented under water, not knowing up fmm down, and panicked, so I had to quit.

I never lost my fear ofwater in spite of the fact that I could out-swim even George across a river and was told by a swimming teacher that I could swim, I just didn't know it.

Our family would make the most of swimmingin gmups ofrelatives when we'd all go upriver on the Grande Ronde, over to Catherine Creek, up the Lostine River while the men fished, for we would picnic togetherand theolderkids would watch the younger ones atplay, wading butnever going out far enough to get caughtin the current. It was those little water snakes come nipping at our legs that would send me scurrying to the bank.

When George and I and family lived in Salem, we would go up the Metolius or McKenzie rivers to picnic in afavorit espotwith George's sister, Mildred, and family. The men would 6sh, the women would set out the lunch and read magazines while keeping an eye on the children. It was a wonderful place away fmm cmwrk The time that I saw my son's face in the water (upon waking this morning, remember?) was at this swimminghole in the river. He was only about 3 or 4

years old and be~" b a by and me" lessons in Salem, I think, so his older brother would have been about 7 or 8 and had passed swimming lessons. Randymay not have beenin the tmuble that my 6rstimpressi ons alerted me , butitcame tome thatI must save him but I didn't know how and I was scared. Caught in a little gully ofrushing water, I was sure he was drowning and there was no time to waste. While my mind was jumping over itselfwondering what to do and fearful thatmy son would be swept away and dmwned, the seconds docked away.

Suddenly I looked down again and saw my oldest son, Craig Paul, bobbing up through the water behind his brother. He would catch the younger one at his waist and push him up through the waterto getabreath ofair,they then would go down under the water again. Now I knew I would lose both my sons.

Imagine myreliefwhen this bobbing up and down had a purpose, for with each pmcedure they came doser to the edgeoftheriverand theshore where I could help them out.

Whether I have the story straight or not, in myfrantic mind the older boy saved his younger brother's life while I stood and wrungmy hands, no credit to me. I am not the heroine type. I admit to being acoward.

Mygratitude goes to those who are quick thinkers and actors who save each other and, hopefully, the world fmm itseK So, this summer, be sure to watch to your children's safety and teach them to swim.

Someone's lifem aybeatstake, maybe their own.

by Stella Wilder TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2014 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of the luckiest individuals born under your sign. This doesn't mean, of course, that you will not hold sway over your own destiny, but rather that you will encounter more opportunities than most. You i ay actually stumble into what seem to be golden opportunities on several occasions, with only the stars to thank for your initial good fortune! Once you have opened a door, however, it is for you to walk through iu no one else can do that for you.

You have a great many talents that you can use to parlay good luck into lasting accomplishment and noteworthysuccess. Your will, combined with that luck, can work wonders.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 30 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You i ay overhearsome things today thathave you reconsidering a recent option. Not everything is stacking up the way you had anticipated.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You will find

yourself and others drif'ting toward something that has attracted you all simultaneously, butperhapsforverydifferentreasons.

LIBRA (sepc 23-oct. 22) -- You i ay be troubled throughout the day by images remembered from last night's dreams. You'll want to think things through carefully. scoRpIo (occ 23-Nov. 21) -- You mustn't let anyone run roughshod over you.

True, you i ay feel like the newcomer, but you have every right to stand your ground.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — The qUalityofyourwork is on the rise, which i ay be startling to those who thought that you were as good as you could possibly get!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You canimagineyourselfand anotherdoingsome wonderful and productive things together, but first you've got to break the ice!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - You will want to seek haven from an emotional storm that is brewing. It's not your fault, but you'll feel the brunt of it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) —Take aclose look at all options today, and you'll see that thoughthey were presented assuch,they are anything but equal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — The sense that something important is going on just out of earshot will return to you again and again throughout this unusual day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If others are going to have fun, then you're going to have (Un, and that's all there is to it! You needn't wait for an invitation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You have the ability to see through the kinds of deception to which others regularly fall prey. That can serve you quite well today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your creative energies are on the rise. See ifyou can't get someone you know andtrust to join you on a quest.

LONDON — An international team of scientists plan to spend months watching ice melt. But although it will takelonger and costa lot more than watching paint dry, it will be much more interesting and rewarding.

They plan to discover just how the Arctic ice retreats, the rate at which it melts, and the oceanographic processes at work.

The Arctic ice cap is a vital part of the climate machine, and the basis of an important ecosystem. But although the polarice once stretched far further south, it has been both thinning and shrinking for more than three decades.

This melting shows signs of accelerating, with consequences for nations far to the south,but researchers still don't know much about the physics of the process.

The project began in March, when researchers planted an array of sensors along a line 200 miles to the north of Alaska. In August, a Korean icebreaker will install more equipment, and a team &om Miami is studying high resolution satellite pictures of ice floes in the region. Biologists will also want to understand the effect of temperature changes on marine micro-organisms.

Between keeping up with ranching, school, athletics and work, the Durkee family didn't consider that they'd be chosen as Baker County's Fair Family of the Year.

Not that they had time to think aboutit.

"I never would have expectedit,that'sfor sure,"said Terri, the mother."There's otherfamiliesmore deserving than ours.

"It's quite an honor."

While the family brings decades of ranching experience to the table, they started ranching together in the Durkee area 18 years

ago.

Terri, whose initial agricultural experience comes from participation in the Future Farmers of America, has been the Durkee 4-H leader for 11 years and is president of the 4-H Leaders Association.

She's also on the advisory committee of the Baker County Fair Board and helps coordinate buyers for the livestock auction.

"Bert does a good job of backing me up through all of my commitments," Terri said."He's a great supporter of my causes."

In addition to ranching, Bert is chief of the Burnt River Fire Protection Association. Last Thursday, the day of the family's interview, he had returned home at 2:30 a.m. after a long night fighting the Rye Valley fire.

Bert had then turned around at 6 a.m. to con-

"Bert does a goodj ob of backing me up through allfo my commitments. He's a greatsupporter o f my causes."

"I've neverhadareal job,ever.Thisisenoughfor me."

— Bert Siddoway

EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS NOMINATING THE SIDDOWAYS "Terri has been a 4-H Leaders Association Board member and Association President for 5 years. In this time she has conducted the Board meetings and general Association meetings. Because of her leadership skills and knowledge of youth developmentTerri has strengthened the 4-H Leaders Association mission ...

"The Siddoway children are also very involved in the 4-H program; Matt has taken on more leadership roles, a 4-H County Ambassador for several years, a 4-H Camp Counselor for 2 years, attending our regional leadership retreat and managing his beef herd. Kylie has become a leader in her own right. Stran attended 4-H Camp this year and also manages hisbeefherd.

"I know behind all this activity there is a quiet, supportive spouse;availableto help where andwhen he can.None of this could happen without Bert."

BAKER COUNTY FAIR

2013: Warner

Family The Warner family might not have any young members showing an animal next month at the Baker County Fair, but their lives have been entwined with the summer tradition for more than 50 years.

And this year, they will be honored as the Baker County Fair Family for 2013.

Michelle Cockram Kaseberg nominated the family, saying"The Warners have been an integral part of the fairsince'forever. '" And what haven't they done?

From showing animals to servingas club leaders to acting as auctioneers, this family has touched all facets ofthefair.

'You know they are good auctioneers when they get

berry pie," Kaseberg wrote.

Fred Warner Sr., 86, says it all started in 1959 when his brother, Carl, founded the Missouri Flat 59ers 4-H club.

All of his five childrenConnie, Jacquie, Fred Jr., Scott and Chris — were members of the club. They raised sheep to show at the fair.

Have you seen young 4-H'ers tear up when selling their animal at auction?

That's nothing new.

"I could cry better than anyone," Connie says.

The 4-H tradition continued with each generation — Connie's children, Stephanie and Eric; Fred Jr.'s daughters, Courtney and Mackenzie; and Scott's sons, Quincy and Parker. i Jacquie and Chris moved away from

Fred Sr. even watched his great-grandchildren show animals when Eric and Darcy Colton's children, Shelby and Talon, raised pigs, lambs and steers iin different years).

A common threadthrough the generations is that 4-H allowed a way to earn money before they were old enough for a job. tWell, a job outside the farm, anyway.)

"Haying money we could

use, but not our 4-H money," Connie says.

Speaking ofhaying ... Scott still connects the county fair with haying season. r We got to stayin town and get out of the hay field for a week," he says.

He echoes Connie about the untouchable 4-H money.

"That money went straight into the bank," he says.

And for good reason.

"Eric bought his pickup with4-H money and Steph went to business school in Boise," Connie says.

Scott says 4-H money funded his education.

"None of us had to borrow money," he says.

Beyond earning money, Eric Colton says 4-H challenges youth to be respon-

sible — &om caring for an animal to keeping records.

"It makes them do it on their own," he says.

This is especially true for those who live in the city, rather than on a farm or ranch.

"It's new, and a big commitment and responsibility," Eric says.

He and his wife, Darcy,

County now has a first-class fair facility."

Plus, Ann Rowan mentioned Dianne's involvement with the PEO Sisterhood, an organizationdedicated tofurthering women's educational opportunities.

Dianne has especially helped young women get scholarships to attend college."Once a teacher always a teacher," Rowan said.

Then there's Mel Cross, a longtime fiiend of the Ellingsons. He remembers when the Ellingson Lumber Co. sawmill was still running.

"Anytime someone asked if Rob would do something or loan them something, he would bend over backwards to help.

"He's been the same way since joining the Fair Board.

I have seen his shop so full of projects forthefairgrounds you could hardly walk through it. Rob needs to be recognized for his efforts. I would venture to say he has saved the community tens of thousands of dollars and the community isn't aware of it."

family

and Dianne Ellingson

The Crabill family has been involved in Baker County 4-H forfourgenerations.

And them's no reason to believe this legacywill end there.

Both Paul Crabill Jr. and his father, Paul Sr., starled participatingin 4-H activities atage 9.

Paul Jr. and his late wife, Donna, had two sons, Gary and Dennis, and a daughter, Candi iLayl, all ofwhom were active in 4-H, too.

And so were Candi's children, daughter, Josey Lay, and son, Coleman Lay. With such a lengthy family historyin 4-H and the County Fair, Candi said there was never any question that her children would follow in her footsteps in the show ring.

"I just didn't know any other way," she said."It's just always been the waywe were all brought up."

"It's where she got her flair for grooming,a her husband, Joe Lay, said with a laugh.

In their letter nominating Rob and Dianne Ellingson, Ron and Ann Rowan wrote: "The Ellingsons have certainly taken their turn in volunteer positions. Rob exemplifies volunteerism."

Why would they go and say a thing like that?

For starters, Rob served for years on the Fair Board. Now he'sstillpartofan advisory group.

The Rowans also wrote that, aWithout Rob, there wouldn't be all this for our families."

When the fair facilities were being rebuilt and moved totheirpresent location, Rob oversaw the construction of the show barn and animal buildings.

MONDAY, JULY 28, 2014

Continued ~om Page 4C The family's commitment to 4-H has resulted in its being honored as the Fair Family of the Year for 2011.

Paul Jr. grew up on a ranch of 365 acres at the base of the Elkhorns on Marble Creek Road about 10 miles west of Baker City.

The Crabills had teams of horses, put up their own hay, and evenmixed theirown grain for the animals.

Paul Jr. said the family had a long feed box where they would mix the grain, putting in beet pulp, barley, molasses and other ingredients.

Paul Sr. also raised hogs, including 100 brood sows which often gave birth out in the brush. '%e had those coal oil lanterns and we would hang them on the brush so the bobcats wouldn't eat ithe piglets),a Paul Jr. said.

A lot more than lanterns and mixinggrain have changed, though, since Paul Jr. showed his first 4-H animal.

Inflation, for one thing.

His father told him that when he was a boy he would sellhissteersfor 6cents a pound. That would have been around the 1930s.

Paul Jr. sold his for 50 to 60 cents a pound in the 1950s.

His children sold theirs for about 75 cents a pound in the 1970s.

And last year, his grandson Coleman's steer sold for

$1.55 a pound.

Paul Jr.'s interest in 4-H didn't end when he became too old to show.

Not even close.

He has been the chairman ofthe4-H and FFA market buyers committee for 31 years.

"Every year he says it's his last," his wife, Marla, said.

She was also involved in 4-H, taking a sewing class when she was young.

"I went from there to home ec, and I still sew," she said.

Marla also supports Paul as he does his work for the committee.

"I grumble all the way through it, but I help," she said with a smile.

The Crabill family has been most active in showing steers, but Paul Jr. also showed sheep, and his granddaughter Josey showed swine as well.

Coleman will be showing for the last time this year, as he is a 2011 Baker High School graduate.

Paul Jr.'s grandkids said their involvement with 4-H, besides being a link to their family, is a natural outgrowth of their growing up on a ranch near Medical Springs.

"It has been really nice to actually live on a ranch and experience it," Josey said.

Coleman agreed: "A lot of kids have to buy their project from adistributor,it'sniceto be able topick thebestfrom your own herd."

One thing from his youth Paul Jr. says he will never forget was when his father had a rash on his stomach and started wearing bib overalls.

Not long after they needed to gocollecta heifer.

The heifer jumped up and one ofher legs landed in the front pocket of Paul Sr.'s overall.

"If it hadn't been half rotten it would have drug him until it pulled his pants offa Paul Jr. said, laughing.

Although this year's Fair Family of the Year honor is a culmination of sorts, it's hardly the first time the Crabill family has been recognized for its achievements.

The Coomers, Fair Family of the Year, 2010. in 2001, and Coleman had the grand champion steer in 2001.

Paul Jr. received the 2007 outstanding service 4-H award.

"I think it was because I'd been there so long," he said humbly.

And even beyond awards, the family has contributed to 4-H by helping the next generation learn.

"I like helping," Josey said.

"I think it's a great experience for any kid to do."

Both Josey and Coleman say that they plan on continuing the 4-H legacy in their family if and when they have children.

"It's a nice thing to do together, "Josey said."It'sa very family-oriented type of living."

animal at the sale," Miles wrote in her nomination letter. "The family is active in the life of their community in Keating, volunteering as firefighters, school supporters and social leaders and participators. " Ralph Jacobs has been herding sheep for 80 years; he and his wife, Hildreth, will celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary as they always do, during the Baker County Fair on Aug. 10. '%hen I was in 4-H we held it wherever we could," Hildreth remembers. "Sometimes it was at the Natatorium," where the Oregon Trail Regional Museum inow the Baker Heritage Museum) is now.

For many years Ralph served as the fair's sheep superintendent.

"It's an experience to see all the people you have

worked with do well," the family patriarch said from his living room last week.

"To see them achieve something that's not second-rate is our reward."

2006: Rohner

Family The giks that the Rohner family offer to area youth rangefrom teaching generations of them sewing skills to offering up animals — particularly dairy cows — for 4-H youth to show in the fair.

Their"Rohner's Loaners" program is legendary in area 4-H circles.

The true value in what the fourgenerations have offered overthe yearsisspelled outin the letters that nominated the Rohners for the sixth-annual Fair Family award: SeeFamihes/Bge 6C

'This year at the Baker County Fair there should be 11 Rohners Loaners in the Dairy Barn,"wrote Ginger Savage,"and you might see Kate and John in the barns milking cows with a portable milker — after, of course, they were up at 3 a.m. milking the herd on the ranch.

BAKER COUNTY FAIR

~aItl

Sisters Michelle Kaseberg and Cherie Ward, two of the four leaders of the JQ Livestock 4-H club, are continuing a tradition for excellence begun by their greatgrandfather, JQ Freeman, who homesteaded on Sutton Creek and was one of the co-founders of the 4-H movement in Baker County.

You can tell how important that history is to the current leaders just by the name of the club.

"It's a reason why 4-H is very near and dear to my heart," Kaseberg said.

Together with the families oftheir brother, Daryl,and sister, Jeanne Mohr — the children of Fred and Annette Cockram — Kaseberg, Ward and their families have been selected Baker County Fair Family for 2005.

Beginning with JQ Freeman, five generations have led theclub asadultsor served as club president.

Thatincludes Kaseberg's son, Jeff Sherman, who has servedas president forfi ve years, and Ward's daughter, Morgan, who is taking over for Sherman.

While it was her parents, the Cockrams, who were instrumental in developing the fair into the gem it is today — he asfairboard member and president and the man chiefly responsible for raising the money for the present facilities, she as fair manager for 10 years until her death in 2001 — Kaseberg credits 4-H leaders and OSU Extension agents for showing her the importance of passing the mantle of volunteerism along to her own children.

HAINES — Getting the Wendt family together at their Haines ranch for a portrait and family interview is no simple task. After all, Carl and Barbara Wendt have eight children, 11 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, not all of whom live locally.

But once the family's assembled, it's a simple matter to get the Wendts to open up about the Baker County Fair and to share memories of their beloved Lone Pine Heirs, the 4-H chapter that BarbaraWendt founded in 1965 and continues to help

lead.

Here's how to do it: Just gather as many Wendts as will fit into the family's living room, get out your notebook, and startscribbling.

While his children were growingup,CarlWendt, a Haines rancher, concentrated on 4-H livestock events while Barbara Wendt focused on the indoor events, including cooking and sewing.

It wasn't always that way.

Carl remembers taking on 4-H projects during the late

1930s while attending the Beaver Creek School south of Baker City — projects that had nothing to do with livestock, he says. Instead they were the same cooking and sewing projects that his wife, children and grandchildren would later enjoy together.

2003: Bunch

Family "Don't make it too flowery," Jean Bunch suggests at the end of the interview. eWe're just plain people who enjoy being involved with our youngsters' activities."

Bunch, the matriarch of the 2003 Baker County Fair Family, will have her wish.

But it's difficult to tick off the contributions of three generations of the Durkee ranching family without making their efforts seem, well, honorable.

Duane and Jean Bunch had three children: Susan, Rodd and Cheryl Buchanan.

The quality of the children's achievementsis"selfevident," according to Kay Markgraf, who wrote one of the nominating letters for the award.

"As an example, their club's beefanimals scored over 85 percent Choice, and they had the top three placements of Carcass of Merit at the 2002fair,"M arkgraf said.

"That is the second year they have scored very high."

Markgraf called Jean Bunch "the taxi, chore girl, livestockhauler,food fetcher and hug dispenser. She will be in the audience to cheer all kids, notjustrelatives."

2002: Barr

Family For years, the Barr family — Andy and Kris, and theirthree oldestchildren Heather, Kati and Drewwere mainstays at the Baker County Fair.

Kris was the longtime beef superintendent, and Andy was iand still is) one of those behind-the-scenes operators who helps make the buyers barbecue on Saturday a much-anticipated and popular affair.

Then the children grew up.

They've found other pursuits duringfairweek.Two moved away. A third is still in college, living at home while he fights forest fires.

Now it's young son Will's turn to leave his mark on the Baker County Fair.

Will, who's 9, is set to enter the Poco-Wing 4-H chapter this year, just like his siblings before him. His parents say they are excited he is about to enjoy the same opportunitiesthat the older children (hd.

2001:

Markgraf Family According to Mary Ellen Anderson, who submitted the winning essay in this year's Baker County Fair Family contest, the Gus and Kay Markgraf family epitomizes the spirit of educating youth through 4-H and fair projects.

"I have been fortunate to be able to be associated with the Markgrafs,"Anderson writes."They are very much a dedicated and unselfish famjly when jt comes to community service. Gus and Kay see the importance of educating the youth, not only scholastically, but through good wholesome work in being apart ofthe agricultural way oflife."

Gus served as Baker County Extension agent and Kay as 4-H leader for the Poco-Wing 4-H club. All three of the Markgrafs' children, now adults, were active in 4-H programs, and their eight grandchildren have been or are currently involved in 4-H and the Baker County Fair.
