Marijuana prohibition is once again in the spotlight at Baker City Hall. In spite of the adoption of an ordinance banning the herband itsrelated businesses last spring by the Council, the issue was revisited Tuesday night. With the recent passage by Oregon's Legislature of HB 3400 and its signing into law by the governor, Baker City councilors conducted and approvedthe fi rstreading of another ordinance that will ban marijuana within the city limits. The new state law allows local jurisdictions in 15 Oregon counties in which 55 percentormore ofthevoters votedagainstMeasure 91 to implement marijuana prohibition, City Manager Mike Kee explained. He also told councilors why the new ordinance was necessaryafter discussing the issue with the city's new lawyer Drew Martin and Police Chief Wyn Lohner. SeeCouncil/Page 8A

"

He explained that he thought it would be better for marijuana to be available asa regulated and safe drug. Councilor Richard Langrellwho voted in favor of the last ban — said that Baker City and County could benefit trom certain marijuana businesses. "I have no problem with banning the sale of marijuana ... Maybe we'd be missing the boat by not allowing marijuana to be grown here and sold in Portland," he said."I think it's something we need to consider." Langrell compared his thoughts to counties in the south that produced whiskey after alcohol prohibition was repealed but were still technically"dry" counties that prohibited alcohol. The first reading of the ordinance carried with Thomas and Langrell votingagainst itsapproval. A motion was made by Councilor Ben Merrill, which was seconded by Councilor Mike Downing, to allow a second reading. A unanimous voteisrequired fora second reading. That did not occur as Thomas and Langrell voted no. The second reading will be held at the Council's Aug. 11 meeting.

Dog Ordinance Update Lohner gave an update about the dangerous dog ordinance that was adopted last year. He reviewed the cases that have been handled since the passage of the ordinance Lohner talked about a recent case that was heard by the City's animalhearing offi cer.The dog involvedwas not deemed dangerous in the hearing, but the owners were stil lm andated to build afence along with other restrictions. That case was later reviewed by Lohner, Kee and Animal Hearing Otfi cerPaula Sawyer. They

determined that the ordinance does not specifically allow restrictions to be placed when a dog has not been determined to be dangerous. The ruling was changed to make the restrictions recommended rather than mandatory. Lohner explained to councilors that most of the time it is not the dog's temperament that is the problem, that the real problem lies in the caretaking of the animal. As a result, the hearing officer has to look beyond the animal itself and see the whole circumstance surrounding the dog and its particular situation. Besides allowing for a dog to be determinedtobe dangerous orvicious, theordinance also allows for a dog owner to be deemed a"problem petowner."That hashappened once since the ordinance went into effect.

HEART To HEART Band director says fond farewell to Baker Dear Students, Parents, and Members of the Baker Community: Thank you for 15 wonderfulyears as band director here in Baker. This is a truly unique town with some of the greatest children a teacher could ever hope to instruct. I am leaving to teach fifth- and sixth-grade students at three elementary schools in Pasco, Wash. I reached this decision for financial reasons; I am

almost, but not quite, vested in the Washington teacher's retirement system. I wish to especially thank the other teachers, administrators, and support stafF at Baker High and Middle Schools, my choir colleagues, Ms. DeeAnn Sands and Mr. Thomas Isaacson, and the elementary music teachers.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Oregon's coordinated care organizations, charged with delivering medical care to residents who qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, the state's Medicaid program, are charged with listening to those they serve as they spend the state's money. They do so with advisory councils which, by law, must include members who are OHP clients. Or at least they try to include OHP clients on the councils. Finding willing participants has proven diKcult, even though some councils pay their client members to take part. The state's CCOs are private organizations charged with delivering medical care to OHP members in their communities. One of their chief purposes is to monitor and coordinate care for clients in an effort to assure that OHP actually improves patients'health over time. It's an important taskpart of CCOs' payment is tied to improved health for their clients. Persuading clients to participate has not always been an easy task. Indeed, it can be downright diKcult. Attending meetings is required, and those meetings can be anything but short. In addition, there's a fair amount ofhomework, some of it fairly technical, that must be done if an advisory council member is to participate in the council's discussion. Citizen members can be overwhelmed by both the sheer volume of work and the complexity of the issues. If the state believes client involvement on CCO advisory councils is worthwhile, and it does, the Legislature may have to step in. It could change the law, mandating payment for client membership, though in some cases the extra money could be enough to make members ineligible for the very health plan the CCOs oversee. It could consider some sort of survey as a substitute for client participation on the councils that might provide the information members now supply. Or it could assure that other roadblocks to client participation — transportation costs, the need for childcare, scheduling diKculties — are removed. We believe that consulting those whose health care is provided by CCOs is an exercise worth continuing. It's up to the Legislature to get the job done.

GUEST EDITORIAL From The (La Grande) Observer: There is usually always a certain degree of optimism when a new leader steps into the top slot of an organization, whether it be a local civic club, military unit or the presidency. A new leader carries the connotation that a new beginning is now at hand and the future will be a bright one. Probably no other recent local shift in leadershipcharacterizes those motifs better than the ascension of Tom Inkso as the

ere's no 'n Since my release from prison in New Mexico on July 16, I have sought to remain in compliance with the law and to keep my behavior lawful and ethical. In good faith, I have been striving to do all that is necessary to put my life back into order after my wrongdoing sent me away five years ago. I was placed on the bus on Thursday July 16, in Las Cruces, to arrive in Baker late on Friday night. That was too late to accomplish anything before the w eekend, but Iw asresolved to register with the State Police first thing Monday morning, which I accomplished. My stay in Baker was always intended to be a temporary arrangement, with my main accomplishments while here being to get immediately registered, my vision checked and my driver's license renewed. That was, and remains the plan. Having fulfilled my obligation to register with the State Police, I was unaware that the city police might have additional concerns. I would gladly have talked with them to help sort out any misinformation or misunderstandingsaround my apparently premature release from prison, as well as my intentions for my return to Baker and beyond.The confusion being perpetuatedseems tohave led to the storm of coverage that went beyond me, causing my family to suffer as collateral damage.

I was invited to stay with my mom at 1769 Valley as an initial temporary residence on my return to Oregon. This was the location at which I registered, in compliance with the law. Meanwhile, my grandmother also desired to see me, and askedme to visitatherplacefor a few days. There was then, I believe, something of a breakdown in communication. There was misuse or misunderstanding of the terms about where I was living. My use ofher spare bedroom seems to havecaused the perception that I was living there. I was not. I was visiting, and only for several days, which is allowed. There was never any intent that I live or remain with my grandm otherduring my tenure in Baker,and certainly not to attempt to deceive as to my residence. In New Mexico, the law under which I was sentenced was clarified by the Supreme Court. By doing that,m y sentence was greatly reduced, a gift I was determined not to squander. The new sentence had me beyond all time owed, including that for parole. Therefore, since I had no ties in New Mexico, I returned to Oregon where I had family and aplacetobasemysel f.

As I spoke with family members before my arrival I knew that my coming under these circumstances was a disruption of their lives and that none of us, including myself, wanted me to be here right now. Baker was never intended as a place for me to remain, but to start from, then leave, as I got my feetback under me. Once Ihavemy transitional issues worked out, I will be moving to somewhere with greater resourcesforemployment, programs, education, and opportunities to succeed, especially given my situation and background. I know my past behavior presents issues and consequences that I must dealwith.Iseek to be aboveboard about that. I wish they did not also fall so heavily upon my loved ones, as recent events have caused. My goals at this point are what they have always been. To return to the work force; pay my debts; make use of my education and experiences; and make the second half of my life better than what I have lived thus far. If that opportunity ever existed here, it is gone, with Baker now being foreverpoisoned to me. I can never return, even for my family. While I expected a certain level of scrutiny from the police, and rightly so, no efforts to confirm or clarify this situation were ever made prior to the community uproar against me.

wants to be enjoying a meal and look over at the booth next to them and see someone changing a diaper. However, I for one would not want to have to lay on the dirty germy bathroom floor so I will not make my child have to either. I feel like if restaurant owners didn't want you to change a diaper at a booth, they should provide a place where it is OK. When I am out for a meal and my optionsare a place that Ican change my child or a place where it is more

difficult to do so, I will choose the place with a changing table even if the foodis notasgood as the place without.

new president of Eastern Oregon University. This newspaper completed a report on Insko's first week on the job by staff writer Dick Mason and, judging by first impression, Inkso's new tenure may be one of severalgood signs forthe university. Another good sign for the university is the fact the Oregon Legislature recently approved a bill to funnel more than $30 million to all universities in the state. While no one can say for sure what Eastern's cut of that cash will be, the educational institution will surely receive some extra

funding and that is good news. Inkso's arrival at the university will hopefully be the first step on a trek into a brighter future. Inkso has a number of qualities that area residents should take into consideration when viewing his new tenure. The fact he is a local resident with extensive background in one of the biggest — if not the largest — economic engines in the area is a plus. Yet the fact he has strong roots in our valley — and is not an outsider — will hopefully bring an intangible quality of success to his administra-

tion.A localperson in charge ofthe largest educational facility in Eastern Oregon is a good thing. We sincerely hope that Inkso's tenure will be a good one because it is time for the university to move away from a somewhat difficult time in the past few years. Time to move forward. Time to embrace the future. Tom Insko's arrival is a new embarkation point for the university, and, in turn, our community. We hope his first week is just one of the key, and successful, building blocks to the future.

The four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback was suspended by NFL executive TroyVincentin May following the Wells report. The Patriots were fined $1 million and docked a pair of draft picks. The team didn't appeal its penalty, but Brady

appealed. The NFL Players Association said in a statement on Tuesday that it would appeal in court. "The NFL resorted to a nebulous standard of'general awareness' to predicate a legally unjustified punishment," the union said, adding,"the NFL violated the plain meaning of the collective bargaining agreement." Moments after announcing Goodell's decision, the league filed action in U.S. District Court in New York against the union, saying the NFL commissioner has the right under the labor agreement to

Goodell mentioned exactly that in the conclusion of his appeal decision. "Especially in light of the new evidence introduced at the hearing — evidence demonstrating that he arrangedforthe destruction of potentially relevant evidence that had been specifically requested by the investigators — my findings and conclusions have not changed in a manner that would benefit Mr. Brady," Goodell said. But Yee argued that Brady's side was given only four hours to present a defense, and when he asked for documents from Wells, that request was rejected on the basis of privilege.

The Patriots went on to beat Seattle in the Super Bowl and Brady was the MVP. In its statement, the team said 'We cannot comprehend the league's position in this matter." The NFL announced in late January that Wells would head an investigation into New England's use of underinflated balls against the Colts. More than three months later, the 243-page Wellsreportwas issued, sayingitwa s"more probable than not" that Brady was "atleastgenerally aware" that footballs he used were improperlydeflated by team personnel. Brady appealed and the union asked Goodell to recuse himself from hearing the appeal because he could not be impartial and might be called as a witness. But Goodell said it was his

responsibi lity to oversee the hearingto protecttheintegrity of the league. Scientific arguments were a majorpart ofBrady'sdefense. Brady's lawyers tried to shoot down the findings of an independentfi rm hired to provide scientific analysis oftheairpressure inside the footballs used by the Patriots and Colts. Brady, who turns 38 on Aug. 3, took nearly every snap last season. But he'll miss the first four games this season unless the case goes to court. Jimmy Garoppolo, a second-round pick in 2014, would replace Brady, the twotime NFL MVP and threetime Super Bowl MVP. New England hosts Pittsburgh on Sept. 10 to open the regularseason.Itthen goes to Buffalo, hosts Jacksonville, has a bye, and is at Dallas in the last game of Brady's suspension.

Seattle Mariners

ContractshangoverSeahaiwksmore Diamondbacks than SunerSowllossto NewEngland rock Mariners 8-4 By Tim Booh AP Sports Water

RENTON, Wash.— Forget about the Seattle Seahawks suffering from a"Super Hangover" after what happened in February. The events of the closing seconds in the Super Bowl became a secondary story line for the Seahawks this offseason, replaced by the ongoing questions about quarterback Russell Wilson's long-term future in Seattle. It was expected that Wilson would sign a contract extension that would keep him in a Seahawks uniform for years, make him one of the toppaid quarterbacks in the NFL, and be structured in a way to help Seattle remain competitive through the life of the deal. Except that didn't happen. Wilson is about to start training camp under the final year ofhis rookie contract, making $1.5 million with no guarantee beyond

thisseason.It'screated an air of uncertainty around a franchise that's been soliduntil now — locking up key piecesforthefuture. "Whether I'm fortunate enough to receive a lotof money for a lot of hardearned work or I'm still working for it every day, I'm never going to change in that aspect of it all,"Wilson said. Seattle took care of Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, K.J. Wright, Cliff Avril and Marshawn Lynch with new contracts in recent years. But the Seahawks struck out so far with Wilson, have yet to lock up All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, and also are dealing with defensive end Michael Bennett and linebacker Bruce Irvin being unhappy with their contract situations. The contracts have quieted the talk of Seattle's stunning Super Bowl loss to New England, but brought a

new circle of questions and distractions. "Last year's issues that we dealt with are different than this year's issues that we dealt with, but they can be issues that cause problems just the same, winning and losing," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Here's what to watch as the Seahawks open training camp Friday: NEW TOY: Whether Wilson gets a contract extension completed, he'll have another new offensive toy this season: tight end Jimmy Graham. Training camp will be the first opportunity to see how Graham can use his size and athleticism in the framework of Seattle's offense that is conservativecompared to the pass-happy system he's coming fiom in New Orleans.

CENTER OF ATTENTION: The departure of Max Unger in the trade that brought Graham to Seattle leavescenter asone ofthe

biggestuncertaintiesentering camp. The Seahawks used a variety ofoptionsduring the offseason program, but the likely candidates are Patrick Lewis and Lemuel Jeanpierre. The pair combinedto startseven games last season when Unger was out due to injury.

SECONDARY MARKET: Seattle' svaunted defensive backfield was struggling by the end oflast season. Sherman, Chancellor, Thomas, Jeremy Lane and Tharold Simon were all injured, while Byron Maxwell and Jeron Johnson left town in free agency. But Lane and Thomas might be missing more time than expected. Lane had a setback in his recovery from a broken arm and torn knee ligaments suffered in the Super Bowl. Thomas'recovery from labrum surgery on his shoulder may have his availability for the first week of the season in question.

helped by two double plays.

SEATTLE — Rookie right-hander Zack Godley wasn't as dominant as his first time out. With the help of timely hitting and solid defense, he was good enough. Godley pitched six strong innings in his second career start, David Peralta had three hits and two RBIs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Seattle Mariners 8-4 on Tuesday night for their fourth consecutive victory.

Peralta drove in Arizona's first two runs on a single in the first inning and double in the third. He also singled in the sixth and walked in the seventh. The Diamondbacks opened a 6-1 lead with a three-run sixth inning, bunching five hits, including a two-run single by Chris Owings, to chase Hisashi Iwakuma i2-2l, who was tagged for all six runs on 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings. "When you look at all my pitches, all my pitches were working, it was just commanding," Iwakuma said through a translator. "A few of my pitches, I left up and they took advantageofmy mistakes." Arizona manager Chip Hale said he thought Godley pitched well for the most part.

Godley i2-0l, who pitched six shutout innings to win his debut last week, allowed three runs on six hits, including solo homers by Mike Zunino and Nelson Cruz. He struck out four and walked three. "I felt pretty good. I didn't have the command I had my last start, but it was good. The defense played really well behind

TEMPE, Ariz. iAPl — Jen Welter accepts the title of trailbl azer,embraces the chancetobe a rolem odelfor girls and,perhaps most ofall, can't wait to get beyond the hype and on to work when the Arizona Cardinals open training camp this weekend. It's only a six-week internship coaching inside linebackers for the Cardinals, through training camp and the four preseason games. Nonetheless, it marks another barrier broken for women in sports. W elter said shenever dared entertain the thought of coaching in the NFL. "I didn't even dream that it was possible," she said at news conference at Cardinals headquarters Tuesday."I think the beauty of this is that, though it's a dream I never could have had, now it'sa dream othergirlscan grow up and have. So I guess if that makes me a trailblazer, then."

o a ven ors ur ain ree usiness~ By La'akea Kaufman

Lohner was eating dinner on Main Street when the rider approached him with a"defeated" look on his face, asking if there was anything the chief could do to help him. Lohner called Owen, and Public Works sent someone to retrieve the hearing aid within 10 minutes. "And they pulled it out literally right before the rain came down," Lohner said. Kurt Miller, owner of Baker Truck Corral and operations manager for the Rally, mentioned that organizers are planning on commemorating this year's rain by offering memorabilia to returning riders in 2016. "Something like, 'I Survived the Deluge of 2015,' and if they can show that they registered for this year's race,we'llgiveittothem for &ee," Miller said. Miller also noted that there were more Baker City vendors than ever this year — a total of six. He said he turned down at least a dozen vendors, and that he would like to see m ore motorcycl e-related vendors in the future. Paul McNeil, who owns Zephyr Restaurant at 1917 Main St., said he would like to see Main Street in general more focused on motorcycles and less on vendors. "In &ont of our section of Main Street, there were alotofvendors," McNeil said.'We would like to see the vendors be in Central Park or

Vendors quickly became the hot topic during the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally meeting at City Hall on Tuesday. Baker City business owners, community and Council members met to discuss this year's Rally, which took place &om July 9-13. Hundreds ofbikers and around 40 vendors attended and braved the record rain i2.03 inches on Friday,

the 10thl. Chief Wyn Lohner was the first to addressthe rain justafter the 1 p.m. start of the meeting. 'There was a reduction in day riders because of Mother Nature," Loehner said. Public Works Director Michelle Owen and Dennis Hackney of ODOT both expressed concern about traffic flow and detours for freight and semi-trucks down Second Street. The event closes down Main Street, which is the main route the trucks take. Owen cited concerns about visibility because of the trees that line Second Street. "I'm not yet feeling warm and fuzzy about that route," Owen said. "But I don't have a better one." Chief Lohner applauded Public Works workers for their help in assisting a biker who dropped his hearing aid down a storm drain shortly after his arrival on Friday.

on the side streets, and leave Main Street to showcase the motorcycles." Local resident and motorcycle rider Linda Haynes agreed. "I heard that &om numerous people," Haynes said.'The venue is a business district. Closing the street forfourdaysaffectsthe businesses there and that is worth talking about." Barbara McNeil, also of Zephyr, suggested that in the future, Rally organizers look to local restaurants to supply the food rather than bringing in vendors. "Baker City can feed a big crowd," McNeil said."I think it's an opportunity for people who have businesses here to shine and avail themselves of a crowd coming to town. It's almost a little insulting when we have so many food vendorshere — even peoplefrom 10th Street — that can come over and provide all the things that people from the outside bring in." Miller said he had asked local restaurantsabout participating, but that they weren't interested because they already had too much to do. "Some of the other restaurants on Main Street make more than they do the entire month," Miller added. On the retail end of things, both Chelsa Mitchell of Mad Habit and Toni Joseph of No. 1911 said that having the vendors on Main Street was bad for business.

"I am in no way against the rally, but would like to see vendors in a diferent location rather than on Main Street," Mitchell said."I'm down 30 to 40 percent in sales every weekend of the Bike Rally. I left this year and went camping — it wasn't even worth paying the person we had to run ithe store)." Toni Joseph agreed, and said most of downtown's small businesses feel the same way. No. 1911 has been open for three summers, and during its first summer, Main Street was closed off solely for motorcycle parking. "And we did phenomenal," Joseph said.'We had so much more foot traffic because people could still walk around, they could still go to thevendors on the side streets, they could still go to all of the Main Street businesses. "Since that all changed and the vendors are in &ont of us and the motorcycle parking wasn't available right on Main Street, our sales went down a lot," she said. Suggestions for locations to move the vendors included Resort Street, the Fairgrounds and Geiser-Pollman Park. But Jerry Shaw Jr. of the Baker City Veterans of Foreign Wars doesn't think the vendors should change location. "I would hate to see it leave Main Street," Shaw said."I remember when it did, and local businesses

suffered and the Rally almost shut down because of it." Some local residents expressed concern that spreading out the event would discourage the community &om attending. Mitchell pointed to the Miners Jubilee event as proof that this would not be the case. "Jubilee is one of my biggest weekends of the whole year and that's not on Main Street, that's at the park and it gets down Main Street," Mitchell said. There was also concern that moving the vendors would increase cost to thecity orto vendorsthemselves.

M iller said vendorspay $150 for a standard 12-by-12 booth, and organizers pay $1,400 for liability insurance during the event. Chief Lohner said the Rally is already an expensive event for the countyand policeforce asitis. ''We spend more money on overtime for the Rally than any other event," Lohner said."There has been nothing that's evolved more each year with this rally than how it's structured on Main Street." Chief Lohner wrapped up the meeting by proposing a follow-up between downtown business owners, Miller and himself. 'There's not a single thing out therethat makes everybody happy," Lohner said.

Eugenemanpuestioned,releasedinsuspiciousletter case By Chelsea Gorrow OfThe (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — A Eugene area man was detained for questioning and then released late Tuesday in connection with suspicious lettersthat were sent to 24 county sheriA"s offices, two Portland TV stations reported. Lane County Sheriff Byron Trapp was among the letters' recipients,an Oregon State Police spokesman said Tuesday morning. The Baker County SheriA"s 0$ce also received a "suspicious postal parcel" on Monday," Lt. Joey Jayo statedin a pressrelease issued Tuesday. "The parcel was unopened," he said."Precautions were used in handling the parcel and no department members experienced any ill symptoms."

Suspiciousletteralsowere received by the sheriA"s offices in Union and Wallowa counties, The iLa Grande) Observer reported. Investigators initially said some of the packages contained an unknown substance, but the FBI said Tuesday that none contained powder or posed a hazardous threat. However, Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer was taken to a hospital on Monday after he opened a letter at his office in Canyon City and felt a burning sensation in his face and arms, a metallic taste in his mouth, and numbness and tingling in his lips. Palmer said he secured the letterin an evidence bag and had his wife take him to the hospital. He was held forobservation,butdoctors didn't determine a cause

for his symptoms, Palmer said. He was back at work Tuesday. The Umatilla County SheriA"s 0$ce also received a suspicious envelope that was examined by a Hermiston HazMat crew, the iPendletonl East Oregonian reported Tuesday. All of the letterswere collected and taken to the FBI or the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory "foranalysisas appropriate," Elizabeth Steele, FBI spokeswoman, stated in a press release. OSP Lt. Bill Fugate did not identify the man who was interviewed in Eugene and released late Tuesday on unspecified misdemeanor charges. The man did not appear to posea risk to the public, Fugate told KATU-TV. The man could face additional

chargesafterthe districtattorneys in each of the respectivecounties that received lettersinvestigate the case, Fugate told the station. Baker County District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff said today that he would be reviewing any case that might be presented for his consideration. "It's very concerning and we will be looking for prosecution if there's a viable case," he said. When the Eugene man was questioned, police confirmed he was the individual who sent the letters, but investigators did not find any hazardous material in the letters he sent, KATU reported. Police have not speculated on what the man's motive might have been, but said they do not believe there is any remaining threat, the

The FBI and state police launched a statewide investigation Monday after multiple sheriA"s offices receivedthe letters.Sheriffs aroundthe state reported receivingenvelopes containing rambling, incoherent messages. The Association of Oregon Counties reported that 24 of Oregon's 36 counties receiveda suspicious envelope. "AOC is deeply concerned that someone would target Oregon county sheriffs with this kind of a threat," the association said in a statement. Lane County Emergency Manager Linda Cook said the sheriA"s office was contacted Monday about the letters that had begun appearing at other sheriA"s offices earlier in the day. But locally, the mail had already been opened by the time word of the suspicious letters had reachedauthorities. Cook said the county employee who opened the sherifFs office mail had already left for the day, but was contacted at home once the office was alerted. ''We asked her if she had received anything strange, and she said 'No, nothing

The letter had been stored in a file, and Sheriff Trapp had removed the letter from the drawer himself, Cook sard. Cook said officials did not reopenthe letterto read it, but noticed the word "women" scrawled across the top ofthe letter,aswasthe case in some of the other letters sent to sherifFs offices. ''We did not know if it could be contaminated, so we didn't look at it, we just securedit,"she said.'W e know that there is a high likelihood this is some type of hoax, but we still take every threat seriously, and we had a measured and tempered response." As areminder,state police said people who receive suspicious packages should be cautious of mail that has excessive postage, no return address, excessive tape to securethe parcel,m isspelled words, misspelled or incorrect job titles, titles with no names, strange odors, oily stains, discolorations or crystallization on the

packaging. The Associated Press and Chris Collins of the Baker City Herald contributed to this report.

Oregon State Police deployed an aircraft and troopers went into slack pursuit because of two construction zones on the interstate.

Recall petitions are becoming the norm in Sumpter these days. A recall petition was filed by Allen Patton and approved by City Recorder Julie McKinney to oust Melissa Findley as Sumpter mayor earlier this month. Now three more petitions have been filed — but not yet approved by McKinney — to remove from office three of Sumpter's city councilors. Last Friday, Findley filed a prospective petition to recall Councilor Ada Oakly. Donald McKinnon filed one to recall Councilor Leanne Woolf and Timothy Peters filed another to recall Councilor Toni Thompson. In Findley's case, Patten needstogather 32 signatures from regist ered Sumpter voters within 90 days from the dateoftherecallpetition's approval for the recall to move forward. The signatures on the petition must also be verified by the Baker County Clerk. Once verified, Findley will be notified within five days. She has the option of resigning or filing a statement with the election official explaining why she feels she should retain her position as mayor. Ifthe latteristhe case there will be an election scheduled within 35 days to let the voters of Sumpter make the decision.

KELLER Continued from Page 1B Dear Mike: You are long overdue to have a"fierce conversation" with this employee. Actually, you will need to have three of them. The first talk will be short, not more than five minutes. Have the meeting early in the day and plan to send her home once the meeting concludes. The purpose of the meeting is to advise the employee that you have identified unacceptable behaviors and a communication style that cannot continue. This is not a discussion; this is a situation that will require her to be awareofher actions, recognizetheim pactand the

need to change. She may be in denial soyou need to provide three recent examples and do not allow her to dispute or debate your statements. Early the next day, hold the second conversation. This is also short; it is the prescription meeting. You need to decide in advance what you will have her do to fix this situation. You might want to have her apologize tothoseimpacted, reduce her workload, direct her to take time off, take an anger management course, etc. You must prepare in advance. The third meetingis an open-ended meeting because

you need to stay on top of the behaviorsothatitdoesnot return. You will need to have additional consequences ready to impose if things revert, up to and induding termination. Two things will make this processeasierforyou.First, understand the individual in question could be creating a hostile work environment, which is a legal situation that must be addressed quickly and competently or you and your company will be at severe risk. Second, in a discussion of this importance, you should have trusted counsel in the room with you when you meet with this employee.

Davenport added that she even works with special education instructors to learn about the student's individualizededucation program to have a"unified assistance and vision" between Davenport, the teacher and the student. Experience with horses is not necessary for the program, Davenport said. There's no riding the horses involved, just standing beside them and engaging with them. Davenport is partnering with two of her friends to offer this program. Rick and Margo Mackareproviding some of their horses, along with Davenport's horse, to the clients in the programs. There are five horses and two donkeys available for the program, and Davenport said people think they choose the horse but oftentimes it's the horsethat choosesitsperson to work with. 'There's no preconceived notion on what's going to happen during the session," Davenport said. The horses kind of drive the session and the people's reaction will be abigdetermining factor as well.'There's no right or wrong way to do it. Just be present with the horse." Davenport said the program will be offered from the spring through fall. For more information, contactDavenport at541663-1528, or email atruthi. rhapsody@gmail.com.

TEQUESTA, Fla.— Two teens whose lives were interhvined with the sea remained lost in the Atlantic on Tuesday, as their families and authorities tried to maintain hope against the fadingodds oftheir survival. The Coast Guard pressed ahead with a fifth dayof searches for the boys while their families coovfinated air searches of their own, insistent that Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos were competent seamen and athletic young men who still could be found alive. But therelentless hunt by sea and air turned up no due where the 14-year-olds mighthave drifted from their capsizedboat,andthepotential for finding them alive dimmed. "As time goes on, certainly the probability of finding someone alive does decrease, but we're still within the timeframe where it's definitely possible to find somebody alive," said Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss, noting others have survived days or even a week at sea.'We know it can happen and we're hoping it happens again." The boys grew up on the water, constantly boated and fished, worked at a tackle shop together and immersed themselves in a life on the ocean. Perry's family said he learned to swim before he took his first steps. And though some questioned why the boys were out boatingalone,othersdefended their families and said such independent teen outings are commonplace among those with a passion for the water.

Clive Botha, a neighbor and fiiend of Perry's family, said his own children took a boat out alone as teens and cruisedlocalwaterways,even as he forbade them from the deep ocean waters. ''We always told our kids to not go out of the inlet, but kids will be kids, you know?" he said."I getgoosebumps. In my heart, they could have been my kids." Perry's stepfather, Nick Korniloff, said his stepson was supposed to remain on the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway during the outing with his fiiend, as they had numerous times before. Although they clearly ended up in the ocean waters, Korniloff said he didn't believe the boys were heading to the Bahamas, as some have speculated. "It's a bitofa surpriseto see, for us, that they went offshore," Korniloff said. The saga began Friday, when the boys were spotted buyingfuelaround 1:30 p.m .A line of summer storms moved through the area later that

afternoon and when the teens didn'treturn on time, the Coast Guatd was alerted at 5 p.m. and launched its search. The 19-foot boatwa sfound overturned on Sundayoff Pbnce Inlet, more than 180 miles north ofwhere the boys started their journey. The search has continued, day and night. Why the boys ended up in the Atlantic is irrelevant at this point, Korniloff said, focusing on the years of experience they had on the water that could keep them alive. ''We have ahuge amount of confidence and I think that's a testament to why the Coast Guard is working so hard," Korniloff said."They're doing that because the boys have all the ingredients that could lead to a big success here." At JIB Yacht Club and Marina, where the boys were lastreported seen,14-year-old Caden Keyfrom neighboring Jupiter maneuvered his jet ski Tuesday afternoon to fuel up before an Intracoastalouting with his fiiend, 14-yearold Katie Kleinman. Both teens knew the missing boys and their love forboating. Neither was surprised to hear of their solo journey. "A lot of kids here have grown up around the water and have always been on boats, soyou getfam iliar with the area and you know the waters and you feel confident going out," Caden said. The Coast Guard said Uuee boats and an airplane were scouring the waters off Daytona Beach, Florida, north thmugh Savannah,Georgia, and were joined by a Navy ship and other local officiais'boats.
