Ranchers urged to apply for disaster aid The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is encouraging producers who have suffered eligible disaster-related losses to act to secure assistance by Sept. 30, 2014, as congressionally mandated payment reductions will take place for producers who have not acted before that date. Livestock producers that have experienced grazing losses since October 2011 and may be eligible for benefits but have not yet contacted their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office should do so as soon as possible. The Budget Control Act passed by Congress in 2011 requires USDA to implement reductions of 73 percent to the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) in the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, 2014. However, producers seeking LFP support who have scheduled appointments with their local FSA office before Oct. 1, even if the appointment occurs after Oct.1, will not see reductions in the amount of disaster relief they receive. Producers who already contacted the countyoffice and have an appointmentscheduled need do nothing more. The FSA office in Baker City is at 3990 Midway Drive. Phone number is 541-523-7121, extension 106.

For many kids across the country, yesterday m arked the fi rstday of the new school year. That was certainly true at Baker City's Brooklyn Primary School, where the atmosphere was both excited and ambitious as little ones became acquainted with new friends and new routines — and their new classrooms.

When Alice Covey realized she was lost in the Wallowa Mountains, she worried more about her family than herself. "I didn't want my family to worry," said Covey, the 65-year-old Halfway woman who endured temperatures in the 30s Monday night before searchers found her about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Timely rain elps tame 6re season By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com
For much of the West, the 2014 wildfire season hasbeen a particularly destructiveone. Blazes destroyed dozens ofhomes in Washington and California. In Oregon, fires menaced neighborhoods near Bend, The Dalles and Ashland. But meanwhile in Northeastern Oregon, with the exception of an August fire that threatened residents in Imnaha in eastern Wallowa County, the fire season has been comparatively tranquil. "I would say it has been fairly average," said Bret Ruby, fire staff officer for the WallowaWhitman National Forest. There was a lot of activity over a fairly short period, and then the rains came."

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 3, 1964 Bears were responsible for loss of a considerable number of sheep in the pasture typeof sheep operation in southwestern Oregon and in the Snake River Canyon country of Baker and Wallowa counties during the 1963-64 fiscal year, according to the State Department of Agriculture. More than half of the predatory animals taken by statefederal hunters during the year were coyotes. A total of 10,202 predatory animals were killed with 6,651 of these coyotes. the previous year total for predatory animals was 9.745 and 6,486 coyotes. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 4, 1989 PHOTO: Underfoot — Completion of line painting and finish coats on the new hardwood gym floor at Baker High School was scheduled for Saturday. Charles Wiltse, right, Baker School District superintendent, confirmed the completion date of the $54,000 project Friday with Del christy of Ace Hardwood Floors in Portland. Wiltse said the volleyball team will be able to practice on the top-grade maple floor before the team's first game. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 3, 2004 The Eltrym HistoricTheatre was officially closedThursday, but no one missed a single preview or big-screen pitch to buy buttered popcorn. The pair of red "Unsafe to Occupy" signs posted by Jim Sayers, Baker City's building official, didn't stay long enough for the tape to take a super-sticky hold on the theater's glass front doors. And by mid-afternoon the marquee, which during the morning advertised only a single word — "Closed" — was again displaying the names of the films that would play as scheduled that evening. The city canceled the closure Thursday afternoon after Eltlym owner Rudyard Coltman said he will file an appeal with a state board contesting Sayers' ruling that Coltman must install fire sprinklers in the three-screen theater. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 11, 2013 The latest batch of test results from animal feces did not pinpoint the source of Baker City's cryptosporidium outbreak. Four water samples collected on Aug. 25 were free of crypto. The city is having water tested twice each week, a condition state health officials imposed when they lifted the boil order on Aug. 21.

FIRES
BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A
"Things are looking pretty good, but the key isgoing to be whether we stay in the pattern we've been in, with at least some moisture every week or so."
Continued ~om Page1A Ruby's colleague at the Oregon Department of Forestry's iODFl Baker City office, Steve Meyer, agrees with that assessment. ''We were just fortunate this year, so far, that most of the lightning has come with moisture," said Meyer, protection supervisor for ODF's Baker District. Statistics bolster Ruby's and Meyer's anecdotal descriptions. Through Tuesday there have been 98 fires on the Wallowa-Whitman this year, 91 of those ignited by lightning. The yearly average for the Wallowa-Whitman, dating to 1971,is139 totalfi res.Over the past decade the annual average is 105 fires. Blazes have covered more acres than average this year — 51,885 acres compared with an average of 34,555 acres over the past decade. But Ruby said the statistic foracresburned thisyearis slightly misleading because a handful of fires is responsible for more than 90 percent of those acres. Those blazes, including the 35,933-acre Somers fire, the 8,300-acre Pittsburg fi reand the 4,524-acre 5 Mile fire, were all in the Hells Canyon country ithe Pittsburg fire was on the Idaho side of the canyon). The predominance there, especially in the lower elevations, ofgrassovertim ber means fires tend to burn "very far and very fast," Ruby sald. In addition, a trio of lightning fires in the Eagle Cap Wilderness burned about 2,760 acres. But with the exception of the early stages of the Hurricane fire, the Forest Service didn't devote the normal contingent ofresources to anyofthose fires. The agency has a policy which allows fire manager to monitor, rather than fight, certain lightning blazes in the Eagle Cap so long as the fires don't threaten public safety or private property. The bottom line, Ruby said, is that despite high to severe
— Bret Ruby, fire staff officer, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest
fre danger prevailing across i much of the region, and starting as early as late June, fire crews were able to quickly corral most of the fires in forestsoutsidethe Eagle Cap Wilderness. A key element to their success, he said, was that most thunderstorms brought rain as well as lightning. "Whether the thunderstorms come wet or dry is really important," Ruby said. He cited as examples fires in the Elkhorn Mountains west of Baker City. Both the Mount Ireland complex iwhich consisted of several fires) and the Badger Butte 2 fire, all sparked by a single lightning storm in early August, burned in dense subalpine fir forests that are prone to big fires. But raindampened both fires, allowing fire crews to dig control lines around the blazes before the flames could get much momentum. Meyer agrees with Ruby thatrain played ama jorrole in suppressing fires this summer. "Without rain we would have hada lotm ore larger fires," Meyer said. The Department of Forestry has reported 87 fires among the Baker/Unity, La Grande and Pendleton districtsthisyear,64 started by lightning and 23 by people. The 64 fires burned a total of 249 acres. The total number of fires isjustabout average forthe past decade. The acreage burned is well below the ODF's 10-year average of 3,960 acres per year. Meyer and Ruby said the statistics for their agencies show thatfi re danger,though itgetsa lotofattention and publicity, isn't always the m ost accurate predictorofa fire season's severity. Even the driestforestor grassland won't spontaneously combust. If there's no lightning-
or, as happened with most storms this summer, lightning is accompanied by rain — the fire season tends to be relatively docile. ''We've had very dry years when we didn't get much lightning and so didn't get much in the way of fires," Ruby said. Indeed, Wallowa-Whitman fire statistics dating to 1971 show little correlation betweenfi re danger,asm easured by the lack of summer rain and the depth of the previous winter's snowpack, and the number and size of fires in a given year. Rather, the frequency of lightning storms, and whether thosestorms are wet or dry, play much more significantrolesin the severity of a fire season — in particular the number of forest acres burned. Although widespread rain over the past two weeks has lowered the fire danger and promptedthe ForestService to easesome ofitspublicuse restrictions, neither Ruby nor M eyer is ready torest. The fire season will continue for at least the next weeks, and potentially into October if this week's dry stretch persists. September is on average the second-driest month in both Baker and Union counties, and October is the fourth-dri est. "Things are looking pretty good, but the key is going to be whether we stay in the pattern we've been in, with at least some moisture every week or so," Ruby said. Large fires are possible in September, he said, although a coupleoffactorscurb the firedanger asfallapproaches. First, lightning storms are much less likely than during August, and dry thunderstorms even less so. Second, with fewer minutes of daylight the period of peak burning gets shorter

each day. Combined with cooler nights, that means fires that do start tend to grow more slowly and are easierforcrews to control. On the opposite side of the fire manager's ledger is the increasing risk of humancaused fires. In most years, fire crews have to douse atleasta handful of fires started by hunters and other recreationists during late summer and early fall, Ruby said. A common scenario involves a camper starting a warming fire on a chilly morning, then failing to completely extinguish the blaze under the mistaken assumption thatthe coldertemperatures will keep the flames &om spreading. That's not always the case, Meyer said, because although nighttime temperatures are usually lower in September, the humidity can remain at low, summer-like levels. And moisture matters more than temperature, he saId. "It can be below &eezing but if the fuel is dry it will burn readily," Meyer said.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:
The state of Oregon is in a nasty legal fight with Oracle, with multiple lawsuits filed and expensive lawyers at work. But Oregon still needs help from Oracle to proceed with health insurance sign-ups for
this fall, Could this debacle possibly get worse? When Cover Oregon decided to use the federal website for this fall's health insurance sign-ups, it didn't dump its own failed website entirely, It decided to revamp it to serve those in the Oregon Health Plan, which is the state's version of Medicaid, The state signed an $18,4 million contract with Deloitte Consulting, $17 million of which was to rework the Oracle-built site for that purpose, Trouble is, the state still needs at least two actions from Oracle to make Deloitte's work possible. The state needs Oracle to grant access to a key server that controls needed programming code, and it needs Oracleto take stepsto make software and technol-
ogy testing possible, The Oregonian's Nick Budnick, who reported this latest roadblock Wednesday, said the Medicaid portion made up more than two-thirds of the sign-ups in the first open enrollment. And if Oracle doesn't cooperateby Sept.5,Budnick says the state may have to handle this fall's Medicaid sign-ups using the inefficient and expensive manual method it used last
falL That method, meanwhile, apparently put more than 2,000 people in the wrong categories for this year's coverage, with 1,400 placed in the Oregon Health Plan who don't qualify, and another 700 put in private plans even though they did qualify for the Oregon Health Plan. Those people all need to re-enroll immediately, with attendant complications and possible additional costs. Cover Oregon has spent millions of taxpayer dollars while hiding the full truth from the public. They knew the site v as troubled before its launch„but they told us it would work, Then they said it would be fixed by numerous deadlines that passed without success, Leaders were fired, but then stayed on the job for months or received financial settlements. The nonfunctioning site was dumped except for managing Oregon Health Plan sign-ups, but then that, task turned out to involve two-thirds of the sign-ups,
Could this debacle possibly get worse? Sadly, its history suggests yes,

e r son: Michael Brown was shot dead in Ferguson, Mo,, more than three weeks ago now. Since then, the case has been the talk of the nation. I've discussed it with family and friends, on radio and on television. I've also paid close attention to the constant attention in other media, Based on what is in the public domain, I find it stunning — and disappointing — that so many think they know what occurred. Here is what we do know: First, that an 18-year-old African American natned Mike Brown was shot dead by a police officer. We also know that the Ferguson police chiefhas identified theoffi cer as Darren Wilson. And we know that Brown was unartned when he died, We also know that a videotape appears to have captured Brov)TT,accompaniedby afriend named Dorian Johnson, involved in the strong-arm robbery of a convenience store just minutes before the confrontation with Wilson. Johnson claims that when he and Brown were stopped by Wilson for walking in the middle of the street, Brown tried to surrender to the officer. That certainly necessitates a full and impartial investigation. But there's so much that we — the public — don't know. That video of the so-called strongarin robbery seems to show two store employees. What do they have to say? And what was said in any 911 cail(s) aboutthe robbery",What do the police radio transmissions ainong officers just before and after the shooting tell us? There has been no release of any of this information. And then there is the shootingitself. It is sad that we will never get Brown's side of things, In addition, at this stage, we don't know the officer's account, Wilson has been questioned by investigators, but we don't know what he said. All we know is what a radio caller named "Josie" told a St, Louis radio station, and

MICHAEL SMERCONISH that's not reliable. It's hearsay, We know of some eyewitness accounts because of interviews given to the media. But what about those who may have seen something relevant but who have avoided the public spotlight? Again, we don't know. And what about all the contradictions in the eyewitness accounts? Then there are the forensics. We've beentoldabout the resultsofa so-called independent autopsy, but not the official one, or the federal autopsy, Michael Baden, a former New York City tnedical examiner, performed the independent autopsy, but he didn't have access to Brown's clothing or X-rays, so it was of limited value. The ballistics information is yet another public mystery, Last week, an audiotape surfaced that may have captured the sounds of the fatal gunshots. When I listened, I counted 10 or 11 shots, with a pause between them. Immediately, some interpretedthe pause as evidence of Wilson's wanton disregard oflife, vthile others attributed the pause to that moment before Brown charged the officer. Both assessments were ridiculous because we have no idea whether the tape is authentic, This climate of uncertainty might not resolve itself soon. A grand jury is evaluating evidence and will ultimately decide whether an indictment is warranted. Let's assume there is no indictment. Then state sunshine laws will facilitate the release of the information, And if there is an indictment, all the evidence will be presented — but not until there is a trial. If there is so much we don't know, why are so many committed to a particular outcome? A Rasmussen poll last week found 57 percent ofblack adults
itt e
who responded thought Wilson should be found guilty of murder, On a similar note, a New York Times/CBS News Poll found that 9 percent of Americans who responded believed the shooting of Brown was justified, 25 percent believed it was not, and 64 percent didn't know. I'm worried about the 34 percent who believed they knew enough tosay, Among the 25 percent who believed the shooting was not justified, 57 percent are black, Meanwhile, a Support Darren Wilson Facebook page has more than 75,000 "hkes." (I wonder what, exactly, they are "liking.") And two "GoFundMe" campaigns for the police otIlcer's defensehave already raised more than $425,000. I',Why, at this stage, does the officer require a legal defense fund, and why would anyone donate to it not knovting more? j The only thing anyone should desire at this time is a full accounting of what occurred — not that the officer be charged and convicted, nor that he be exonerated. This case has become the racial equivalent of what we've grown accustomed to with the nation's partisan divide, People weigh in without all the information needed to make a decision, largely based on who their teammates are.It'sthe"he'sforitso I'm againstit" mentality. The stakes are too high in Ferguson for that kind of visceral analysis, One man is dead and another's freedom may hang in the balance. So let's all pay attention, scrutinize information as it comes to light, and share our opinions on the evidence. But withhold final judgment. That's what the rule oflaw deinands, Michael Smerconisk writes for The PAitadelphia Inquirer, and ts fnst of "Smerconish"on CXV. Readers may contact him. uf wwu,.smercontsh.com

Immigrationolensestakingug muchfe eralcourttimein regonFOUND — Alice Covey
ByAndrew Clevenger wescom News serwce
WASHINGTON — Although immigrants in the U.S. illegally represent a fraction of Oregon's population, immigration-related offenses constitute the second-highest category for prosecution in Oregon's federal courts, trailing only drug crimes in number. Almost one in six federal prosecutions initiated in Oregon in fiscal year 2014 has been for immigrationrelated charges, with illegal re-entry by far the most common charge, according to Department of Justice figures collected by the The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Nationwide, immigrationrelatedoffenses accounted for more than half of all federal prosecutions initiated in April, the last month TRAC data was available. During that month, the Department of Homeland Security referred to U.S. Attorney's offices almost twice as many cases resulting in prosecutions as the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation,the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Defense Department combined. Illegal re-entry constituted the top criminal offense nationwide, just as it had a year earlier and four years beforethat,according to TRAC figures. As the law is written, illegal re-entry applies to anyone who has previously been removed from the United States and returns without advance permission, said David Leopold, a criminal defense attorney from Cleveland who specializes in immigration law and is a past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Initially, illegal re-entry was applied mostly to violent offenders who had been deportedfollowing a serious crime and then returned to the United States, posing a serious danger to the community, he said. But in recent years, it has been applied more generally, even to people with no criminal histories who often come back because they have family in the U.S., he said. "iThe statute is) very broad, and it's used very broadly, "he said."It'sone of the most insidious statutes on the books. We all stand for the rule oflaw, and want the borders secure. But on the other hand, there's no common sense to that statute." The application of the illegal re-entry law has grown

"WhatI'm seeing moreand moreis that theillegal re-entry cases for non-aggravatedfelons or criminal aliens havegoneup.(Prosecutors)areno longer

dramatically in recent years. In 1992, 36,564 defendants were sentenced by federal judges, including 670 for illegal re-entry.Two decades later, the number of total defendants had grown to 75,867, and the number for illegal re-entry skyrocketed to 19,463, a 29-fold increase, according to a study published earlier this year by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan organization based in Washington, D.C. The increase in unlawful re-entry cases accounted for48 percent ofthe overall increase in cases between 1992 and 2012, the report said. N. David Shamloo, a Portland defense attorney who specializes in immigration cases, has noticed the increase in re-entry prosecutions during his 20-year career. ''What I'm seeing more and more is that the illegalre-entry casesfor non-aggravated felons or criminal aliens have gone up," he said."iProsecutorsl are no longer distinguishing between anaggravated felon and someone with a minor record." Estimates place Oregon's population of immigrants here illegally around 160,000 or 170,000, or less than 4.5 percent of the state's totalpopulation.

As to where the new gaggle of kids came from, ONeal said that many of them moved in from out of town. One family that O'Neal had spoken to yesterday morning came to Baker City by way of John Day and before that, Oklahoma City. "I think that's good news, that we have more families moving in," she said. Some of the new first-graders also came to Brooklyn from other local schools or from homeschooling. Joy Goodman'stwo boys,Dylan and Cameryn, are in the first and second grade, respectively. Dylan arrived to Brooklyn's first grade from the Harvest Christian Academy in Baker City.

time," said Billy Williams, criminal division chief for the U.S. Attorney's Office of Oregon."Prosecution of previously deported individuals who have been convicted of criminal offenses for qualifying aggravated felony convictions continues to be a priority in the District of Oregon." Many defendants are the children or grandchildren of migrant workers who came to workfarms in Oregon and settled down, said Shamloo. The younger generations often grew up and went to school in the U.S., but find themselvesdeported after a minor brush with the law, he said. "They're not what we used to think of as undocumented folks who used to be migrant workers," Shamloo said."I see them employed in all walks of life. They're working everywhere." Afterdeportation,most often to Mexico or Central America, they return to America for the same reasons that have driven countless immigrants before them, Shamloo said: safety, family, economic opportunity, and the American way of life. "These are often heartbreaking cases. The federal crime is simply being here aftera deportation,"said Steve Sady, the chief deputy in the Oregon Federal Public Defender's Office, which handles many illegal reentry cases."'Here' is often
Forkindergartners,too,the startofthe year brings a raft of new experiences. Andrea Avila, 5, was at school for her first day of kindergarten. Her mother, Alex, was ushering her along. "I'm probably more nervous than she is," Alex said."I just want her to do good." The elder Avila said that as chaotic as the first day of school could be, the Brooklyn staff were making things as easy as they could on the kids. "They're making her feel really comfortable," she said. Indeed, teacher Melissa Garner began her kindergarten class yesterday morning by reading"The Kissing Hand," a story about a mother raccoon reassuring her son before his first day at school. "Sometimes we all have to do things we don't want to do," Garner read."Even if they seem strange and scary at first. "But you will love school once you start."

where the person grew up and where the family lives. Sometimes they have lived here since they were small children." Allegra McLeod, a law professoratGeorgetown University who has written about the convergence of immigration and criminal law, offered two possible explanations for the nationwide increase in illegal re-entry prosecutions. One reflects "a general societal turn towards addressingan array ofsocial problems in the United States through criminalization and punishment," she said. It could also be attributable to "the desire, on the partofthis administration, to createpoliticalspacefor comprehensive immigration reform by demonstrating a 'get tough' approach on enforcement." ''We aretreating as criminal what is effectively a civil regulatory violation," McLeod said. Defense attorney Leopoldagreed that President Obama wantsto appear tough on crime, but questionedthe value ofcreating "an assembly line of felonization" by indiscriminately applying the illegal re-entry law without considering additional factors,such aslack of serious criminal history and family ties in the U.S. "If we felonize the very people who are going to benefit from immigration reform, we are solidifying a class of people who have strong ties to this country, and will never come back or will be forever undocument-
ed," he said. The relative ease ofprosecuting illegal re-entry cases makes it tempting to bring as many as possible, since caseloadisa consideration when determining budgets, he said. "The prosecution case is no different than a traffic violation. It's paperwork," he said."U.S. Customs and BorderProtection ireceivesl a huge amount ofmoney, and they've got to justify their existence. How do you justify your existence better than iwithl statistics?" Leopold urged U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to offer guidance for what typesofillegalre-entry cases justifyfederalprosecution. "I have a hard time believing that tax dollarsarebeing well used when a dishwasher,waitress,or construction worker is felonized and removed" from the country, Leopold said."The quality of these prosecutions — meaning the type of people who are prosecuted — are basically dishwashers."
POLICE Continued ~om Page 2A In February, Oregon lawmakers were close to passing a bill creating rules on how local police can use surveillance cameras that capture citizens' license plates, but the bill fell short at the end of session. While the issue has become dormant, at least publicly, a bipartisan group is working on ways to tighten control over the technology that's been used in at least five police departments in Oregon. "It's definitely going to come back this session," said Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend,

Continued ~om Page1A Not long after, she saw a group of searchers, among them her son, Peyton, who were drawn by her shouts. "It was pretty wonderful," Covey said in a phone interview this morning. Covey and her husband, Wix, lived in Halfway during the 1980s, moved away but then returned about three years ago after they retired. For the Labor Day weekend the went for a camping and hiking trip in the Little Eagle Meadows area about three miles north of Summit Point and 11 miles northwest of Halfway. The couple were accompanied by their sons, Peyton and Preston, their daughter, Leona, grandchildren and other friends. On Monday morning the group left their camp, intending to climb Cornucopia Peak. Alice Covey said she decided to turn back, afraid that what she describes as her"bum leg" would fail her. She said she thought about asking her husband to give her his whistleCovey admits her sense of direction isn't exactly keen — but she figured they might need the whistle more than she would. Covey said the trouble started when she decided to crossa stream at adifferent place from where she and the rest ofher family had crossed it earlier. The first crossmg point was churned to mud by cows' hooves, she said, and she thought she could find a better spot. She did, but when she tried to follow a cattle trail back to the family's campsite, she never gotthere. "About 30 minutes in I reahzed, I am so lost," Covey said. This was at about noon on Monday. iCovey had a watch, but not a cell phone.) She still hoped to find her way back to the camp before her family returned from their climb, so she walked. And kept walking, for the next several hours. "I knew my family would be worried if they knew I was missing, so I just kept going," Covey said. She went slowly, and used her two trekking poles to take the pressure offher bum leg. About 4 p.m. she concluded she wouldn't make it back to camp that night, so she decided to try to find a place to hunker down for the night. But before she could do
who said he hopes to have a bill pre-fi led and ready togo around December. The bill that came close last session would have allowed the Portland Police Bureau and four other departments using the technology to continue taking the pictures and access the storagedatabase that they say help track down stolen vehicles and people who have warrants. The cameras automatically take pictures of all passing cars' license plates beforeother sofbvare stores the plate numbers in a database. Knopp and other senators, including outgoing Sen.
much to get settled, Covey caught a glimpse of Cornucopia Peak. Her optimism returned. "I thought maybe I could
getback ito camp) today," she said. But after crossing another creek, with no sign of the camp or her family and dusk coming on, Covey decided she had walked far enough. She descended a steep slopetoapatch oftim ber and started to dig a hollow next to the trunk of a tree. She yanked off as many branches as she could reach and draped them over herself. "Iftherearedeforested trees in the wilderness it's because of me," Covey said with a chuckle. Although she was wearing a hooded jacket, itis a thin garment. Worse still, she said her cotton T-shirt was damp with sweat from her hours of walking. "It wasn't exactly comfortable," she said. At 8 o'clock she decided totryto attractattention, in case any ofher relatives was nearby. "I yelled, 'it's 8 o'clock, and I'm lost!' " She repeated the phrase every hour until late in the night. "I thmk it might have helped keep me warmer," Covey said. Betweenperiodsofsleep she tried toim prove her resting place by digging deeperinto the forestdutf. "I was so filthy in the morning," she said. Filthy, but not scared. Covey said she was confident that her family would eventually find her. When dawn broke Tuesday, Covey started walking again. But she didn't go far. "My legs were shaky — I hadn't eaten in a long time — and I was afraid I would fall," she said."I decided to stay where I was, in a place where people should be able to see me." Covey continued to yell periodically. Then she saw the plane.
And, finally, people. Covey said that although she knew her family would be looking for her, she had no idea that members of the Baker County Search and Rescue, along with other volunteers, would also be combing the woods for her. "I was just so overwhelmed and so grateful that so many people were worried about me and praying for me," she said. Covey said one thing she won't do again is try to navigate by cattle trail. "I really shouldn't have gottenlost,"she said.
Larry George, R-Sherwood, who sponsored the bill last session, promised last February that the issue wouldn't get lost between sessions. George is leaving his spot in the Senate and said in February that he would push a ballot measure in 2016 iflawmakers hadn't passed a bill by then. Knopp said a new law would add oversight to the program and would curb the amount of time police departments using the readers can store images. Portland Police have said they equipped 16 of its 300 patrol carswith the surveillance technology.

Unlike a year ago the 2014 Baker volleyball team returns a wealth of experienced players. Last year, the Bulldogs opened the season with just two returning players, and no seniors. This time around, the Bulldogs returneight oflastyear's 10 varsity
players, including four of five seniors. "We have quite a bit of varsity experience returning," said Baker coach Michele McCauley. "Our team strengths are our willingness to work at things. We have a pretty well-rounded group." The returning players are seniors Michelle Freese, Michelle Lehman, Kayla Davis and Kate Averett, and
juniors Danielle McCauley, Makenna Bachman, Amy Wong and Madi Elms. Newcomers are senior Jennifer Hibbard and freshman Kaeli Flanagan. "Our weakness early in the season will be finding rotations that work," McCauley said. "We're playing a lot of preseason tournaments to work on it."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
iAPl — The Denver Broncos will be without Wes Welker for the first four games of the season after the NFL said the receiver violatedthe league's performance-enhancing drug policy. Normally, the league announces such violations on Monday. News of Welker's ban didn't come down until late Tuesday, after the league offices had closed and the Broncos had already finished drawing up blueprints fortheiropener against Indianapolis, undoubtedly with Welker playing a prominent role. ESPN first reported Welker's suspension, saying the violation had to do with amphetamines. Welker told the Denver Post in an email that he was "as shocked as everyone at today's news." He noted he's meticulous about what he puts in his body and would "never knowingly take a substance to gain a competitive advantage in anyway." The 11th-year pro who's been the NFL's top slot receiveroverthelastdecade added that he never concerned himself with theleague'sdrug rulesbut now realizes those policies "are clearly flawed."

Awards handed out at Wallowa County Stockgrowers dinner ENTERPRISE — Fourgenerations of McClarans were honored for their care of the grasslands they graze from the Hells Canyon to the Chesnimnus country of northern Wallowa County. Scott, Vicki, Beth, Jill and Maggie McClaran run a ranch that has been in operation about 100 years. Dennis Sheehy, the 2012 Grassman of the Year, bestowed the honor on the McClaran Family at the Wallowa County Stockgrowers annual dinner and dance last month. 'Their knowledge and judicious use of grassland resources and willingness to take risks to improve the grass earns them this honor," Sheehy said. Grazing from the lowest elevations in the county to higher ground, the McClarans' herd is always on the move. The family is not only recognized by their peers, but Sheehy said in the Lower Imnaha Range Assessment, an environmental impact statement prepared by the Forest Service, the McClarans use of their public grazing allotment is "on a higher trend to better condition," following the old adage, leave it in better condition than you found it. Tip and Ruth Proctor were also honored as honorary members of the Wallowa County Stockgrowers for their support of Wallowa County ranching and the Stockgrowers' organization.

A family member who lost a lovedone halfa world away may have the opportunity to still go to the funeral from the comfort of their own home. Loveland Funeral Chapel is offering its clients a live broadcast ofloved ones' funeral at no extra charge. It may sound strange, but to those with family all the way around the world without hope of attending the funeral, it's a welcome service. Kevin Loveland, owner and funeraldirectorofLoveland Funeral Chapel, said this service they'vebeen offering forthree years has been welcomed by many who choose to hold their services at Loveland. "It's been amazing," Loveland said.owe don't charge any extra ito live broadcast). We incorporatethat into the servicewe provide. Some families say that
everyone will be there and they're not interested in watching the funeral once it's over. But sometimes I bring it up and the client pauses and asks, Wait a minute, someone can watch this live from anywhere around the world?"' Loveland said he's had family members of his clients in Iraq who were able to "attend" the servicevia thebroadcast. "Someone with a good Internet connection and who's capable of watching videos can watch the service," Loveland said.owe've literally had people watching this from all over the world." Brent Clapp, owner of Brent Clapp Media Services, is the technology guru behind these broadcasts. For Clapp, the serviceis personal. He lost his parents in a very short timeframe and was abletobroadcastthefuneralsso his children, who were not able to attend, could see them.
"There was a huge assurance that they were there," Clapp said. "They were viewing the same thing I was. Anyone can provide a DVD and can watch it after the fact, but there's an astounding community that's created when you know that someone, a family member, is experiencing that with you. Even if they're thousands of miles away or around the world. It's a comfort thing." Loveland first learned about livebroadcasting funeralservices at a convention. At that time, the equipment was sent to Loveland, who was expected to set it up and do the work himself. "As I was attempting to do it, I realized it was way more complicated than anything I could've everimagined,"Loveland said. "I didn't have time to do that because I had to be in the background and helping to conduct the funeral itself. That was when SeeFuneral / Page 2B
aking my clients out of town for their annual planning retreat, a key asset comes into play. It's perspective: the ability to take a step back and look at the past, the present and the future. Away from dealing with day-to-day issues and involved in what are often once-in-a-lifetime activities, in a resort setting in locations they have usually never visited, interesting thoughts surface and are discussed. In one twelve-month period, I had the same client tell m e, on two different retreats, how unhappy he was with two ofhisdirectreports.Yet between the first retreat and the second, he had not had a discussion with either subordinate about his expectations or their under-performance. This story is not unusual and has several common themes I frequently discuss with clients. The first is that the people who were under-performing did not know that they were not doing what the owner wanted them to do. The second is that the owner had not had a candid conversation with the underperformerstomake clear what was expected of them. The third is that if the owner had held a conversationorconversations with those deemed underperforming, there was no action taken to motivate the individuals in question to improveortoface theconsequences. No one was verbally warned; there was no coachingforperformance improvement, no warnings in writing, no discussion of possible consequences, up to and including termination. Who is at fault here? The owner is liable. He or she owns the issue. SeeKeller / Page 2B

PORTLAND — What county leads the nation in pear production? The answer is Hood River. That's in Oregon. What county leads the nation in acres planted in Christmas trees? The answer is Clackamas. That's also in Oregon. What county is first in the U.S. for green pea acreage and production? The answer is Umatilla. Once again, that happens to be in Oregon. For a state not always recognized as an overall agricultural leader in the U.S., Oregon has a large number of counties ranking highly in a variety of categories as listed in the latest Census of Agriculture. In those categories, which includecrop acreage and livestock inventory, Oregon counties crack the top 50 list of all U.S. counties atleast113 times — and that doesn't count the commodities not tracked by the census. Not bad for a state that ranks only 28th of all states in value of agricultural products sold.

But somewhere along the way, there were missed opportunities to change things for the betterment of the company. I was told thatjob descriptionsexisted,butifthey did they were likely out of date. In these conversations, I realizedthat written performance evaluations were never performed, so the two managers never really knew how they were doing versus what was expected. I think it would be fair to say that absence of a written job description, clear goals and regular, written performance evaluations, employees,especially atthemanagement level, believe they are doing a terrific job. As an employee, and as a manager, I certainly did. Until my boss told me differently, verbally and in writing. What happens is that without being provided anything in writing related to performance, when an employee receives a pay increaseofany size,liesare told, and they arebelieved. The lies continue to build every time the employee receivesaraiseorfalsepraise. This can go on for years, and in the example cited above, it did. The owner should take the blame here as well. In many companies, employeesarepromoted to management positions without adequate education or coaching to successfully lead a team. They may have been a stellar individual performer, but that is not what makes a good manager. The owner's two direct reports were managers who led teams.

Clapp took the reigns of live broadcasting and began to streaming funerals on his own website. It's been successful so far, with some hiccups that generally get worked out. "Ifany ofmy equipment fails then I have a backup," Clapp said."Sometimes things happen, but for the most part everything works pretty well every time." Clapp broadcasts the graveside service as well, he said. He hasn't had a lotofpeople use that part of the service,buthe has broadcastedmilitary services. "Once a family agrees to have it happen, they think

These amateur managers were never trained and were not held accountable for conducting or writing performance evaluations. Idoubtifeitheroneof them ever conducted a"difficult conversation" with an under-performing employee, and both, I know from personal experience, had a few deserving of such talks on their teams. Why would they not hold such a conversation? They were just following the example set by their manager, the owner. Their owner never conducted a difficult conversation with them, and if it did take place, nothing changed. There was no follow up, no coaching, no accountability to change. The worst part of this is that the owner did not want to be seen as the"bad guy" to any employee, so a blind eye was turned when performance fell short or when managers and employees behaved in a manner that is not appropriate.

Organic, conventional dairies show few diHerences in cow health, milk WesCom News Servicestaff
CORVALLIS — Cows raised on organic and conventional dairy farms in three regions of the United States show no significant differences in health or in the nutritional content of their milk, according to a new study by Oregon State University researchers and theircollaborators. Many organic and conventional dairies in the study also did not meet standards set by three commonly used cattle welfareprograms. ''While there are differences in how cowsaretreated on organicfarms, health outcomes are similar to conventional dairies," said Mike Gamroth, co-author of the study and professor emeritus in OSU's College ofAgricultural Sciences. "Few dairies in this study performed well in formal criteria used to measure the health and well-being of cows." Nearly 300 small dairy farms — 192 organic and 100 conventional — in New York, Oregon and Wisconsin participated in the study, which was funded by a $1 million grant fiom the National Institute of Food and Agriculture in the U.S. Department ofAgriculture. The five-year project looked at many aspects of dairy cow health, including nutrition, lameness, udder cleanliness and other conditions. Milk samples were screenedfor bacteria and common diseases, and farmers were asked about their operations, including the use of veterinarians and pain relief when removing horns from cattle. Researchers found the following: • One in five herds met standards for hygiene, a measure of animal deanliness; • 30percent ofherdsm etcriteria for body condition, which measures size and weight of cows; • Only 26 percent of organic and 18 percent of conventional farms met recommendations for pain relief during dehorning; • Fourpercent offarm sfed calves recommended doses of colostnnn, which helps boost their limited immune systems after birth; • 88percent offarm sdidnothave an integrated plan to control mastitis, a common disease in dairy cattle;

Milk from organic and non-organic herds also showed few nutritional differences, researchers found. Organic milk can occasionally contain more omega-3 fatty acids, which may improve heart health. However, those increasescome from seasonalgrazing and are not present when cattle are fed storedforage,according to Gamroth.

To become USDA-certified, organic dairy farms must allow cows access to grazing, and the grain cows consume must be grown on landfree ofpesticides and fert ilizers.Organicfarmers arenot allowed the use of antibiotics, hormones or syntheti creproductivedrugs. "Nearly seven in 10 organic farms previously operated conventional herds, which explains the lack of differences between them," Gamroth said. "Many organic farmers operate in a similar fashion to when they raised conventional herds, from milking procedures, to using the same facilities, to caringfor sick cattle."
Yamhill is third in radish acreage with Linn fifth. Marion is No. 12 in pumpkin acreage with Lane No. 22. Clackamas is the nation's leader in rhubarb acreage. Marion County is No. 7 in cauliflower acreage and No. 8 in broccoli acreage. In fact, Marion County is an agricultural powerhouse with 10 commodities ranking in the top 50 nationwide. Overall, Marion is No. 36 nationally in total crop value and No. 71 in total agricultural production. Oregon's agricultural diversity, combined with an excellent climate and good soils, helps put the state's counties on the map when it comes to specifi ccropsand livestock.
Add the skill and experience ofitsproducers,and it'snota stretch to say that Oregon is an agricultural state. "Oregon recognizes the value of its agriculture, but we need to be vigilant in protecting the land and water so important to our growers and to each of these counties," says ODA Land Use Specialist Jim Johnson. The census data reflects agriculture in 2012. Certainly the rankings could be different if the snapshot was taken today. But when it comes to some of the major agricultural counties in the US — at leastfor several commodities— don'tforget about a few of the counties found in Oregon.

by Stella Wilder WEDNESDAY,SEPTEMBER3, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you are often very hard to pin down. This means that others had better be readyto reactin any number ofways to the things that you do, for those things are not likely to align completely with any given point of view, agenda or expectation. There are some whowould call you a loosecannon, and that term can certainly be applied to you in moments of stress. When the heat is turned up and things become complex and contentious, you can be wholly unpredictable, m ercurialoreven downrightdangerous! You might want to choose aline of work that allowsyou a greatdealofpersonalfreedom, for like many Virgo natives, you don't like to be tied down.

SLAIN JOURNALIST
USsavssecondreleased deheadinguideoisanthentic The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The United States said Wednesday that a video showing the beheading of a second U.S. journalist by Islamic State militants is authentic. Islamic State extremists on Tuesday released the video showingfreelance reporter Steven Sotlofl"s beheading, two weeks after the emergence of a video showing the killing of journalist James Foley. In the Sotloff video, a masked militant warns President Barack Obama that as long as U.S. airstrikes against the militant group continue, "our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people." Sotloff, a 31-year-old Miami-area native who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, vanished a year ago in Syria and was not seen again until he appeared in the video that showed Foley's beheading. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened in that video with death unless the U.S. stopped airstrikes on the Islamic State. In the video distributed Tuesday and titled "A Second Message to America," Sotloff appears in a similar jumpsuit beforehe is apparently beheaded by a fighter with the Islamic State, the extremist group that has conquered wide swaths of territory across Syria and Iraq and declared itself a caliphate. In the video, the organization threatens to kill another hostage, this one identified

Last week, Sotlofl"s mother, Shirley Sotloff, pleaded with his captors for mercy, saying in a video that her son was "an innocent journalist" and "an honorable man" who "has always tried to help the weak." Barak Barfi, a spokesman for the Sotloff family, said Tuesday they were grieving after having seen the video. With President Barack Obama on a visit to Estonia, the White House announced the verification.
