A Baker City residential sprinkler system douses both a homeowner's lawn and flower garden in this July photo.

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Ifyou want to know why Baker City's faucets flowed at full capacity during the dry and torrid afternoons of July and August, and continue to chug along this week during summer's last hot gasp, you have to

look back.

Many months back, to the latterdays ofwinter,when nobody was dousing their tomatoes or let ting theirkidsscamper around in the sprinkler.

And you also have to look up, to the peaks of the Elkhorn Mountains that intercept Pacific storms and wring out their moisture.

It was over in just a few days, but when the final flake of a pairofMarch blizzards had fallen, the city's watershed was set up to endure even an unusually hot and dry summer. r We got lucky with that last big snow," said Jake Jones, the city's watershed manager.'After the snow it froze really hard up there, and the snow came off nice and slow."

The result, Jones said, is that the city's water sources — 11 springs and streams, one well and one alpine lake — are pro-

Last 90-degree day of 2014?

The forecast high temperature in Baker City today is 90.

But a cooling trend starts Thursday, and highs aren't predicted to go above the mid 80s for the next week.

With September on the wane, today might well be the last 90-degree day of 2014.

Baker City has had 27 such days this year — three more than average.

Curiously, Eugene residents endured a hotter summer than we did. That city has set its all-time record with 35 days of 90 or hotter.

ducing ample water to quench the city's thirst even during a scorching final week of summer. ''We're in good shape," said Larry McBroom, the city's water and construction supervisor.

'Those big storms saved our tails."

Water shortages aren't common in Baker City, to be sure.

But this was the sort of summer that might have prompted cityoffi cialsto atleastrecommend residents curtail their water use — if not actually mandate such measures — were it not for that timely burgeoning of the watershed snowpack.

The springs and streams produced enough water this year that the city was able to pump about 100 million gallons into its backup well during the spring and early summer, McBroom said.

The well is one of the city's two main supplemental sources for summer days, when city residents can gulp,spray and splash through as much as 8 million gallons.

The other is Goodrich Lake, a natural lake, expanded by a dam, atthe eastern baseof Elkhorn Peak.

When it's full — as it was this spring — Goodrich holds enough water that the city can get about 200 million gallons if necessary, McBroom said.

Baker School District members of the Oregon School Employees Association will earn 2 percent more in wages this year as part of a contract agreement ratified by the Baker School Board Tuesdaynight.

Association members, who include educationalassistants,custodians,secretariesand bus drivers, approved the contractlastm onth.

The new salary schedule begins with pay of $9.65 per hour for a beginning educational assistant or first-year cook, up from $9.46 per hour on the previous contract, which expired June 30.

The topsalary of$18.73 perhourispaid to employees who have worked for the district for 10 years in these jobs: computer technician, certified occupational therapists ithe districtdoes nothave such a person on staffat this time), and mechanic. The former salary scheduletopped out at$18.36 perhour.

The new schedule also continues the distri ct' spractice oflongevity pay forlongtime employees. Year-round employees who have been inthe district11to 14 yearsreceive an extra $240 per year, and nine-month employees receive $180 more per year.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 17, 1964 Photo: CIVIL DEFENSESUPPLIES —Supplies to equip a 200-bed emergency Civil Defense Hospital arrived in Baker yesterday from Pendleton. Included in the shipment was medication, splints, bandages, and surgical instruments. On hand for unloading and checking the supplies at the Chaves Food Center were (from left) Nell Perry Reed, Baker County Civil Defense director; Lee Wilson, driver for Sites; Dr. John Higgins, custodian of the CD emergency hospital; John Virgil, Otis Baldrige and Ray Morfitt.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 18, 1989 The Baker unit of the Oregon National Guard has received its new series of tank, known as an M-1 Abrams.

The M-1 unit is the first of its kind in Oregon and costs $2 million. The tank received the last part of its name from General Crayton Abrams, a commander during the Vietnam conflict.

Baker has one of the tanks and the Boise unit will have 13 others, according to Staff Sgt. Jim Morrissey.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 16, 2004 Carla Monismith remembers when the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest's timber sale program was awash in big trees and big numbers.

Every year the forest sold at least150 million board-feet of timber.

Every year the forest spent several million dollars to pay the people who designed the sales and spray-painted the trees to be sawed and conducted the timber auctions.

And every year thousands of log trucks laden with thicktrunked ponderosa pines trundled along the highways of Northeastern Oregon.

Today the numbers seem tiny by comparison.

And never tinier than now.

During the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30, the WallowaWhitman, at 2.3 million acres the largest of the 19 national forests in Oregon and Washington, will offer for sale about 14 million board-feet of timber, said Monismith, the forest's timber sales officer since 1990.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 25, 2013 NerdWallet, a consumer advocacy website, has ranked Baker City as the eighth-best town in Oregon to raise a family.

The website looked at 146 Oregon towns, all with populations more than 2,000. Towns were compared on five criteria: public school rating (by greatschools.org); median home value, ongoing cost of home ownership, median income, and income growth from1999 to 2011.

The top 10 cities in the survey were: 1. Sublimity; 2.

Sutherlin; 3. Enterprise; 4. Gold Beach; 5. Bandon; 6.

ANSWER: Both foreclosures and shortsales can have dramatic negative effects on your credit, sometimes up to 100 points! After going through a foreclosure or short-sale, it is imperative to begin rebuilding your credit through paying bills on time, not exceeding credit limits, as well as practicing the good old fashion task of saving money! Once you begin repairing credit, you will be on your way to purchasing home.

There are also specific waiting periods depending on what kind of loan you are looking to obtain (conventional, FHA, VA). A conventional loan will require the longest waiting period post foreclosure or short-sale.

IIQl iQRYAPYisHR5 One advantage to living in Baker County, where about half of our 2 million acres are publicly owned, is that we can go to a lot of places without having to pay an admission fee.

But the federal government, which manages most of the county's public acreage, seems to have an insatiable appetite for our dollars.

A current and troubling example is a bill in Congress we were alerted to by a fine watchdog organization, the Western Slope No Fee Coalition of

Colorado.

The Coalition, which keeps track of proposals to charge people for visiting public lands, recently sent us an email regarding HR 5204. The bill, introduced this year by Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, is the sort of vaguely written legislation that reads to us like an invitation to the Forest Service and BLM to impose all sorts of new fees.

We're particularly bothered by a couple of sections

in Bishop's bill.

One would allow federal agencies to charge people day use fees to visit any site that's within one-half mile of a toilet and that also has a few meager accommodations such as a picnic table and parking spaces.

The other section would enable agencies to charge a permit fee for people wanting to enter a"special area." The bill doesn't define that term but it does note that it could include"motorized recreational vehicle use."

Imagine, for instance, having to pay a fee to ride four-wheelers or motorcycles or mountain bikes out at the BLM's Virtue Flat OA'-Highway Vehicle Area near Baker City, or to park a camper in a pullout beside a Forest Service road.

There's no guarantee, of course, that HR 5204, were it to become law, would result in the BLM or Forest Service charging such a fee. But the legislation certainly seems to clear the way for that to

happen.

We don't object to federal agencies charging fees for developed campgrounds such as Union Creek on Phillips Reservoir. Those sites, which include flush toilets, running water and hookups for RVs and motor homes, obviously require more expensive, and regular, maintenance than, say, a trailhead.

But bills such as HR 5204 that give agencies authority to charge fees pretty much anywhere on public land should be rejected before they get anywhere near President Obama's desk.

on ressnee stovoteonwar While President Barack Obama made a convincing case for military intervention against the Islamic State last week, there's something else that should occur before the United States again pursues a strategyofwar:It'stim e forCongress to havean up-or-down vote on authorizing the use of force. Sadly, that doesn't appear likely.

And not because Congress is too busy on other matters of similar import.

Last week, the House voted to amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. And to rename the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial as the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial.

Then there was HR 4651, which designated the U.S. Postal Service facility in Baytown, Texas, as the "Specialist Keith Erin Grace Jr. Memorial Post 0$ce."

It's been the same in the Senate. Senators voted on the nomination of Henry J. Aaron, of the District of Columbia, to be a member of the Social Security Advisory Board. And they approved the Multinational Species Conservation Funds Semipostal Stamp Reauthorization Act of 2013. And authorized the Administrator of General Services to convey a parcel of real property in Albuquerque, N.M., to the Amy Biehl High School Foundation.

Meanwhile, there have been plenty of sound bites about the Islamic State, but not a lot of congressional action. This week, Congress may vote on one piece of the president's plan, authorizing the U.S. military to train Syrian rebels to fight the Islamic State. But that's not a declaration of war, which the gravity of the situation requires.

U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, R., Ga., summed up the situation: "A lot of people would like to stay on

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Gov. John Kitzhaber thinks Oregon may need a new statue to represent us. We have a suggestion: the Oregon taxpayer.

Eachstategetstwo statuestorepresent itin the National Statuary Hall Collection of the United States Capitol. Oregon has John McLoughlin and Jason Iee. They representpiecesofthestate'searly history and we invite you to learn more about them.

Some legislators have plotted to rip Lee out and replace him. This summer, Kitzhaber created a commission to make a recommendation for a new statue that

m ight"better reflectourstate'sm odern values and spirit."

What could be better than the Oregon taxpayer?

The Oregon taxpayer could be there with a grim smile, celebrating Oregon's achievements, challenges and disappointments.

The statue could dutch a bottle in one hand, an homage both to adynamic beer and wine industry and the state's innovativebottlereturn policy.A spotted owl could be perched on one shoulder, talons burmwed into the flesh. In the other hand,therecould bepieceofpaperthat

Congress also saysthesubjectm ustbe dead. That's perfect. It's just how Oregon taxpayers can feel when they weigh what they pay and what theyget. Doesn't Congress caie about feelings?

We do harbor doubts that the Oregon taxpayer would get the official supportit needs fium the governor and the Legislature. Figures.

Pen letonSuckshan Sull ogsthree-set efeat • Bulldogs' season-l ong struggleforconsistencyproves too much to overcome against Class 5A opponent Pendleton

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

It's becoming a familiar story every time the Baker volleyball team takes the court.

"It's that same old word — consistency," said Baker coach Michele McCauley.

"Pendleton blocked well

and played good defense.

At times we did too. We just weren't consistent."

Pendleton took advantage of Baker's ups and downs to take a 26-24, 2725, 25-16 nonleague win on the Baker floor.

"At times we played pretty well. But other times we were just flat," McCauley said.

Baker trailed most of the first game before rallying to take an 18-17 lead behind the net play of Kaeli Flanagan and Kayla Davis.

The teams then battled back and forth until the game was tied 24-24.

Pendleton then scored the final two points for the win.

Game 2 was all Baker in the early going.

The Bulldogs built their lead to23-17 before Pendleton rallied.

The Bucks took a 24-23 before Baker bounced back to tiethe game atboth 24 and 25.

But, just as in the first game Pendleton then scored the final two points for the win.

In Game 3 the teams battledto a 4-4 tie before Pendleton took the lead for

good.

Michelle Freese led Baker with16-for-16 serving and 27-of-37 hitting with 10

kills and 17 digs.

Kate Averett was 9-for-9 serving and 15-of-21 hitting with four kills.

Danielle McCauley was 8-for-8serving,9-for-10 hitting with five kills and had

11 digs.

Madi Elms added 15 digs, Michelle Lehman was 5-for5 hitting with a kill, and Makenna Bachman was 12-for-12 serving.

Baker split the nonvarsity matches.

The Bulldogs won the frosh/sophmatch 25-21,2515. Paige Pearce was 7-for-7 serving with three aces.

Carson Lien was 8-for-8 hitting, and Desi Davis 5-for-5 dlgglng.

Baker lost the JV match 25-22, 21-25, 15-8.

We know we're going to rely heavily on pitching and defense. And when the bats get hot, that's when everything's going to click. Tonight guys had good at-bats. Hopefully, today was a big building block and we can carry that on the next couple of weeks."

The Mariners haven't been to thepostseason since 2001, when they won 116 games under manager Lou Piniella and tied the major league mark set by the 1906

Chicago Cubs.

"Given what Seattle was going through the last 10-12 years, if I'd have said leaving spring training that on Sept.

One night after becoming the first team in the m ajors to secure a playoff trip, the Angels lost for only the fourth time in 21 games.

But their magic number for clinching the AL West went down to two because of Oakland's 6-3 loss to Texas.

Cost share reimbursement funds available for growers The Oregon Department of Agriculture is accepting applications for partial reimbursement of costs incurred to become organically certified by a U.S. Department ofAgriculture accredited certifier or renew such certification. Oregon growers, processors and handlers who are certified organic

by USDA accredited certifiers are eligible to receive75 percent oftheircertifi cation fees reimbursed, up toa m aximum of $750 per certification or category of certification.

This reimbursement is also available to Oregon growers, processors and handlers renewing their certification. Applications must be received no later than Oct. 31.

Authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, the program is designed toassistgrowers, processors and handlers ofagricultural products in obtaining certification under the national organic guidelines. Eligible growers, processors and handlers are encouragedto apply assoon aspossibleto be assuredofreceiving funds and to avoid missing the deadline.

An estimated 763 certified organic growers, processors and handlers in Oregon are potentially eligible for partial Teimbursement.

Cascade Natural Gas files rate increaserequest with state BAKER CITY — Natural gas customers in Baker City probably will pay more for the fuel starting Nov. 1.

Cascade Natural Gas has filed a rate hike request with the Oregon Public Utility Commission.

The company has requested an increase of about1percent foritsOregon customers.

A residential customer using 55 therms a month can expect an increase of 37 cents per month, or about $4.44 more per year.

A commercial customer using an average of 230 therms a month can expect an increaseof60 centspermonth orapproximately $7.20 for a 12-month period.

"A lot of natural gas is going back into storage, which has created a slight increase in the demand on natural gas. The cost of gas makes up the largest segment of a customer's bill and is a pass-through cost to customers," Scott Madison, executivevicepresident and generalmanager forCascade Natural Gas, said in apress release.

The community garden is available to anyone who has interest in growing fruits and vegetables but who do not have the space or the soil to do so. Oregon Rural Action has provided the ground and rents out 16 x 6 foot plots for $35 per year.

Do youhave agreen thumb butnospacetocallyourown~A community garden may be the answer.

La Grande has a large space ofsoil located within city limits where plots are rentedforanyone who hastheenergy togrow vegetablesand fruits of all kinds Blake Galbreth, Community Garden Committee person, participates in the community garden with his plot of ground and said his garden is flourishing.

"Some of the people renting a plot have gardens of their own at home and are looking for extra space," Galbreth said."Some people live in apartments with no yard at all. People can rent a plot through the Oregon Rural Action."

ORA is a local nonprofit organization that focuses on the land's natural resources and brings agricultural producers to the community.

The community garden is just one of many programs ORA has been a part of this year and the program has flourished just as much as the vegetables the gardeners have produced.

"Gardeners pay a non-refund-

ablefeeof$30 foruseofone plot

forone season,"Galbreth said.

"The fee for one plot for current ORA members is waived. An

additional plot is available at $15 per year."

The plot of ground is a 16x6 footplotofsoil.Gardeners are responsible for their own land — tending to weeds, watering their plants, etc.— but all the tools they'd need to sustain the garden are provided to them. The community garden committee requests people communicate to them if there's a pest eating their plants and to make sure their plot of ground hasn't been overrun, but otherwise the sky's the limit to what they can grow.

Feesareapplied to covercosts of supporting the garden including ORA stafF time, insurance, administration and garden materials, Galbreth said. For the garden fee, gardeners receive free seed and starts on a first come-

frst-served basis,w ater,use of i tools,compost,fertilizer,classes and membership to ORA. "I moved ito La Grande) in October and haven't had the actual experience of the community garden in the past," Galbreth said.

"People tell me this is the best year in recent years for the comm unitygarden.We've had a lotof participants and the gardens look great."

Several organizations around La Grande, including groups trom Eastern Oregon University, 4-H programs and others have their own plots ofland, Galbreth said.

There are 41 individuals using the community garden, several with more than one plot of ground, he said.

Because this is a year-round program,there isalso some talk of structures being built to grow vegetation during the cold SeeGarden / Page 2B

have noticed that one of the qualities of top leaders is their ability to ask the right questions in the right manner at the right time.

In many organizations leaders ask more questions than others, but that usually happens when there is a need for more information regarding an opportunity of some sortorbecause thereis a gap between what has been done and what has been said.

Not the screaming, desk pounding, search for the guilty of a major mistake questioning; as in"who is responsible for this!" which is not a question, but a statement.

And it is not the musings of a leader who is still unsure about what they really want so insteadofasking a direct question they pose some soft owhat if'or "how about" queries that confuse those around them.

I have often advised that if my clients took the time to ask themselves and their subordinatesmore penetrating clarifying questions, they would get better information, m ake better decisions and it would improve the organization's culture.

Put another way, be a thoughtful company not an emotional one.

There is a tendency I have observed that younger people working today are much more candid, almost bold in voiceand directthan Iever was, specifically when asking questions of their superiors.

No one likes being put on the spot and being embarrassed because they did not know the question was going to be asked of them. It is equally uncomfortable to be asked a question and not know the answer to it.

I think one of the questions today most dreaded by someone in management is a simple one: How do I get a raise?

In some of my clients this question is asked by employees regularly. Not just by new hires but by more tenured employees. The question is SeeKeller / Page 2B

PULLMAN, Wash.— Washington State University researchers have found "the most famous wheat gene, "areproductivetraffic cop of sorts that can be used to transfervaluable genes trom other plants to wheat.

The discovery clears the way forbreeders todevelop wheat varieties with the disease-and pest-resi stance traitsofother grasses, using alegion ofgenetic toolsthat can reduce crop losses and pesticide use while foregoing the cost, regulatory hurdles and controversy of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. "The real exciting part of this gene is that it has tremendous

potential for application," said Kulvinder Gill, a WSU professor, who reports his findings in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

For some 35 million years, the wild ancestors of wheat routinely traded genes as they accidentally cross-bred with each other. But with the rise of agriculture and cultivatedwheat 10,000 years ago, the plant's genetic structure changed. Instead ofbeing diploid, with two sets of chromosomes like humans and most other living things, it became polyploid, with, in the case ofbread wheat, sevensetsofsix related chromosomes.

Starting in 1958, just five years

•000

after the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure, researcherssuspected that a specific gene controls the orderly pairing of wheat chromosomes during reproduction.

"If this gene was not present, there would be chaos in the nucleus," Gill said."Six chromosomes would pair with each other and sometimes five chromosomes would go to one cell and one to the other, resulting in a sterile plant. Because of this gene, wheat can be fertile. Without this gene, it would be more like sugar cane, where it is a mess in the nucleus and it can only be vegetatively propagated."

But the gene also prevents

wheat trom breeding with related ancestors that can contain a vastarray oftraitspreferred by growers.

"This gene would not allow rye chromosomes to pair with wheat," Gill said.oWe cannot get a single gene transfer into wheat as longas thisgeneispresent."

Interest in the gene, called Phl, has spawned scores of research papers, making it what Gill called, "the most famous wheat gene."

In 2006,British researchers writing in the journal Nature said they identified the gene.

"In this paper," Gill said, "we show that their gene is not the Ph1."

Another program offered is in partnership with Community Connections, La Grande's food bank.

The Grow-A-Row program asks members of the community with a garden to donate their tresh produce to the food bank.

Through the community garden,there's a plotof land specifically growing produce, which includes a variety of peppers, green beans, corn, squash, tomato and basil, to be donated to the food bank.

"Allthefoodisfor generalharvest and direction donation to the food bank," Galbrethsaid.

Next year, the committee is hoping for even more partici pation in thegarden and they have the ability to expand it as well, Galbreth sald. ''We've measured every plot and have restaked them out for next year to make sure they're all equal and equitable," he said. 'We're doing really nice, uniform plots."

OSU RESEARCH

Policy changes would sequester more carbon Wescom News Servicestaff

CORVALLIS — Rewarding landowners for converting farmland into forest will be key to sequestering carbon and providing wildlife habitat, according to a new study by Oregon State Universityand collaborators.

Current land-use trends in the United States will significantly increase urban land development by midcentury, along with a greater than 10 percent reduction in habitat of nearly 50 at-risk species, including amphibians, large predators and birds, said David Lewis, co-author of the study and an environmental economist in OSU's College of Agricultural Sciences.

"One of the great challenges of our time is providing food, timber and housing, while also preserving the environment," Lewis said."Our simulations show our growingappetite forresources couldhave cascading effects on wildlife and other vital services provided by nature."

Paying landowners $100 an acre per year to convertland intoforest would increase forestland by an estimated 14 percent and carbon storage by 8 percent by mid-century, the researchers say. Timber production would increase by nearly 20 percent and some key wildlife species would gain atleast 10 percent more habitat, they added.

Yet this subsidy program would also shrink food production by 10 percent and

habitatand carbon storage than the tax and subsidy.

'There are inherent tradeotfs involved in any policy," Lewis pointed out."More urban land comes at the expense of wildlife habitat, and more carbon storage could reduce food production. Understanding these choices can help us prepare forthe different shapesour landscapes may take in the future."

Co-authors of the study include researchers from the University of WisconsinMadison, University of Washington, University of Minnesota, University of California-Santa Barbara, Bowdoin College, Florida International University, and the World Wildlife Fund.

comes with an annual $7.5 billion price tag, said Lewis.

Another policy option — charging landowners

$100peracre ofland that isdeforestedforurban development, cropland or pasture — would generate $1.8 billion a year in revenue. More than 30 percent of vital species would gain habitat.

Yetcarbon storage and food production would shrink slightly, according to the study.

"Price drives how most landowners decide what to do with their property," Lewis said."Some choices have market values — such as selling food and timberand yet others, like sequestering carbon, do not earn money for landowners, who then have less incentive to provide them."

"Toreverselossofhabitat and boost carbon storage, the government could providecompensation for servicesthe freemarket does not currently offer," added Lewis.

However, researchers found neither the tax nor subsidy plan would limit the growth of urban sprawl.

Instead, they simulated a prohibition on new urban development — such as building new housing and commercial properties — in rural and non-metropolitan areas.

By 2051, the policy would decrease urban growth by 24 percent in the researchers' simulation, but it would result in smaller gains in

Continued from Page 1B not limited to being asked by hourly or salaried employees; often top managers wonder what the answer is.

While I might rephrase the question to"How do I earn a raise?" or 'What will it take to have a performance appraisaland a salary review?"

I give a credit to those that ask, as it shows initiative, courage and drive.

When this question is asked it says to me the organization is lacking some very basic human resources policies and procedures and even if those policiesand procedures exist, they have not been well communicated.

Why does this question keep getting asked? The decision makers have yet to figure out the best way to answer it.

While compensation may not be theleading motivator for any employee, it is near the topofthe list.

One quick way to disappoint, disengage and anger employeesisto respond negatively with an insulting statement such as 'You're lucky to have a job!e It is the responsibilityofleadership toeducate employees how the company makes money and to teach and demonstrate how every employee can help the company to make more of it.

Ifyour employees donot know howyour company generatesrevenue, how canyou expect them to helpyougmwit?

If you don't teach your employees how and why they can better manage business expenses, how can you expect them toreduce costs?

That simple question you havebeen putting otfanswering? It's time to deal with it before you lose the very people that can help your organizatio n have abetter future.

d ®:

in recent history, is the time to become a Licensed Tax Preparer.

Even though Accounting and Tax Preparation has always been a good job market, with the adoption of the At't'ordable Care Act (Obamacare) and its reporting requirements on individual tax returns, thousands who self-prepare their own returns are going to need help filing accurate tax returns this year.

Blue Mountain Community College is sponsoring an 80-hour tax course that meets the education requirement to become a Licensed Tax Preparer in Oregon. Starting Sept.

22", this 10-week course will be taught in La Grande by experienced tax professionals.

Income Tax Preparation is an ideal career for homemakers and early retirees who like to spend their summers at home or traveling and earn extra seasonal income.

College students can gain valuable education and job experience.

No preretiuisites required — some take the course for their own personal interest and knowledge of the income tax law. Class size limited - make contact nowl Call Taxman (541-963-4969) or come by the office for enrollment forms.
