Phone scams are becoming more and more commonplace these days.

Some Baker City residents are getting a new kind of scam phone call purported to be from the Internal Revenue Service iIRSl. Thereare atleasttwoversions ofthiscall.

One version involves a call from an actual person posing as an IRS agent who claims to be investigating tax fraud.

RogerLeMaster,66,a retired ForestService employee from Baker City, received such a call recently.

"It was kind of intimidating what the guy was saying," LeMaster said."He said our taxes had been filed incorrectly for several years. He asked for our lawyer's name."

LeMastersaid he told thecallerthatthere couldn't be any back taxes owed as he and his wife have used HR Block for years.

LeMaster said his wife was listening on another line in their house. He said she did most of the talking before the caller finally hung up on her.

"He didn't get very far with us," LeMaster sald.

He said he asked the caller to prove he was really with the IRS. SeeScams/Page GA

Bull troutfoundinSalmonCree otherstreams • The fish was listed as a federal threatened species in 1998

By Jayson Jacoby iiacoby©bakercityherald.com

Salmon haven't splashed in Baker Valley's Salmon Creek for more than half a century, but biologists recently confirmed that another high-profile fish does live in the stream.

Bull trout.

Not in fact a trout but rather a type of char, this fish has been under federal protecti on,as athreatened species,since

1998.

Biologists say bull trout are particularly vulnerable to a warming climate

and the absence of shade-casting streamsidevegetation because they require cold, clear water.

Salmon Creek is a tributary of the Powder River that flows through Baker City's watershed.

OBITUARIES William Scott

stop him, just to talk. Anyone who came to his house was treated like family and always welcome.

These words from our brother, Darrell, seem to say it all: "He is gone, it seems our time on Earth slips by so quickly. My father passed away yesterday, his worn-out body gave up the battle as he slept.

"He was the person who always stood behind us to help us up when we were down. For us, he was the greatest man in the world. A person who passed out love by the bushel, not just to his children but for all who passed into his life.

"I know that God has reserveda specialplacefor him and even though I will miss him, I must remember he hasgone toa betterplace.

A place where he can sit high on the mountain and watch the antics of all who he managed to love and care for.

"I have known for sometime this day would come, but I was not ready. God bless him. My dad was loved and respected by all who ever met him. He walked softly but was an imposing force that helped shape the many lives he touched. He will be missed by all."

Survivors include his children, Darrell iJudyl Scott, of Boardman, Dianna iPatl Hartman of Payette, Idaho, Patti iRalphl Parkhurst of Salem, Dave iPaml Halcom of Ontario and David iLindal Scott of Ontario; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-greatgrandchildren.

He was raised at Gonzales, where he attended Gonzales High and was on the Spartanfootballteam.

During his football season, every Friday before his game, his mother and sisters would make homemade burritos for his football team.

Unbeknownst to them, Julian would sell the burritos to his teammates and keep all the money for himself eventhough hismom and sisters did all the work.

But it was still OK with his mom that he kept the money even though his sisters were not too happy about it. He also was a trumpet player in the junior high he attended at Gonzales.

Julian and Sonya Mae McLeod were married on March 31, 1994, in Salinas California. They met one night in a club singing karaoke.

Sonya looked over and saw such a handsome man sitting there, at first she thought it might be Billy Ray Cyrus, family members said. They meet that night and spent 21 years together and had three children: Devin Scott McLeod, Tonya Rosario De La Torre, and Julianna Elizabeth De La Torre.

TURNING BAcK THE PAGEs 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 16, 1965 Rose Marie Reed, internationally famous as a designer and manufacturer of swim suits, who is visiting here with her sister, Mrs. Sanford Heilner, will address a Rotary club meeting at the Baker Motor Inn Monday.

Miss Reed has won a number of distinguished awards for styling and designing of women's apparel.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 16, 1990 Baker County's gross crop and livestock income in 1989 reached $42,127000, an increase of $2.4 million from the year before, according to a preliminary report from the economic information office of Oregon State University.

Estimated income from cattle totaled $29.34 million in 1989, up from $28.85 million in 1988 and $26.63 million in 1987. Cattle numbers in 1989 were estimated at 100,000.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 17, 2005 Historic Baker City Inc. wants to create more parking downtown by switching from parallel to angle parking on several downtown blocks.

The change on First and Resort streets would create parking for 36 more vehicles than the current parking configuration.

The city plannign commission is inviting the public to comment about HBC's request during the commission's meeting Wednesday at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 17, 2014 An above normal loss of cattle that graze on public land prompted a Baker County ranch manager to send a letter to area agencies and media early this week.

George Rollins of the Pine Valley ranch said 12 mature cows and 12 calves (not pairs) were missing from the cattle turned out in July on the East Pine Valley allotment north of Halfway. The cattle were gathered in October.

Ranchemployees have ridden the rugged 75,000-acre allotment on horseback numerous times searching for the cattle, Rollins said. In addition, a helicopter was hired and flew the allotments twice. No cattle or any carcasses were found.

William Hubert Scott, 98, of Ontario, a former Baker City resident, died Jan. 9, 2015,at an Ontariocare center.

Visitations will be Tuesday at 10 a.m. and the funeral will begin at 11 a.m. at the Lienkaemper- Thom- Wi l liam ason Chapel in S cot t Ontario. Interment will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Ontario.

He married Loyce Bonnie Scott on Nov. 21, 1941, at Weiser, Idaho.

William entered the service on Sept. 25, 1942 and was one of the survivors of the invasion of Okinawa. He didn't talk about his service time but he did tell his family about losing his helmet and a fellow soldier who no longer needed his. He used the soldier's helmet and it seemed to protect him throughout the rest of the war.

William worked at many jobs during his lifetime: Western Union, wood mills, sugar factory, small-engine repair, electrician, farmer and janitor at Ontario Middle School.

He told his family he was the jack-of-all-trades and master of none. William lived at Baker City, Whidbey Island, Austin Junction, Bates, Prineville, Nyssa, Vale, Sumpter and Ontario.

Bonnie and Bill had five children: Darrell, Dianna, Patti, Jo and David.They had many happy years at the mining claims with children, grandchildren and any friends who wanted to come.

He loved hunting and fishing and had all the family up to Sumpter for flea markets.

He was able to hunt and fish until the last couple of years.

After Bonnie's death, he married Gretchen iNanl Scott in Baker City, on September 16, 1997. They were together 17 years. They traveled, visiting fiiends and family, Sumpter flea markets and"The Ranch."

Dad was a strong influence in many lives. When he worked at the middle school, students would seek him out, just to talk. Many years after he left the school those students and teachers would ' •

Nearly a dozen years in the making, the Blue Mountain Forest Plan Revision is a generalized plan to manage the Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman, Malheur and part of the Ochoco national forests.

When the revision is completed, separate plans will be written for each forest. Until then, the forests run under the 1982 Planning Rule.

EDITORIAL

The 1964 Wilderness Act, for all its flowery language about the sanctity of nature, clearly expresses the notion that people are not only allowed to visit wilderness areas, but that such places should be managed toensure we can enjoy their beauty.

We just have to get around on our feet or by horseback, since motor vehicles are prohibited.

That makes sense.

It's diKcult, certainly, to fulfill one of the Act's goals — that in wilderness areas the "imprint of man's work (is) substantially unnoticeable" — if there are rigs rolling along paved roads at 50 mph.

What doesn't make sense is allowing hiking trails — some of which follow routes that Native Americans blazed thousands of years agoto become impassable because workers can't use chain saws to cut up trees that fall across the tread.

Yet that's precisely the risk the U.S. Forest Service is taking in the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon's largest, as well as potentially in other wilderness areas in the region and state.

Volunteers, who do much of the trail maintenance in the Eagle Cap due to stingy budgets from Congress, say that because they have to use crosscut saws rather than chain saws in the wilderness, they can do little more than remove trees that block trails.

If they were allowed to use chain saws, even for just a month or so each summer, the volunteers say they could not only clear many more miles of trail, but also repair waterbars and do other work without which trails will erode and, eventually, cease to be usable.

Losing these trails is unacceptable.

Chain saws are noisy, to be sure. But their brief use, confined to a small section of wilderness, does not significantly diminish the values that define a wilderness.

Sacrificing trails to the elements, on the other hand, would run counter to the Wilderness Act itself.

The Act states that wilderness areas "shall be devoted to the public purposes of recreational, scenic, scientific, educational, conservation, and historical use."

"Recreational" obviously means trails.

Further, the Wilderness Act allows the use of motorized equipment such as chain saws if that's necessary to meet the purposes of the Act. In New Mexico's Bandelier National Monument, for instance, the National Park Service allowed workers to use chain saws to cut pinon pines and junipers that had crowded out native grasses, and thus increased the risk of erosion. This situation was due largely to the suppression of fire, and overgrazing early in the 20th century.

Society inevitably gives up things when public land is designated as wilderness. We can't build roads to scenic overviews, or harvest timber.

But wilderness areas are not meant to be o6'-limits to people.

The Act puts it this way:"... these areas shall be administered for the use and enjoyment of the American people..."

It's awfully hard to use and enjoy a trail that's slid into a canyon.

I'm tooyoung tohave a proper fearofthe atomic bomb.

I was born in 1970 — a quarter century after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

By the late 1970s, when I was old enough to begin to comprehend such things, the threat of nuclear holocaust, though it seemed real enough in that Cold War era of the bellicose Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, had lost its immediacy and thus some of its potency.

When I was in school the experts had long since figured out that having pupils hunker beneath their desks wouldn't help much if the Russian missiles were landing nearby.

Spared from that inane exercise, my classmates and I learned instead more prosaic, albeit potentially useful, tactics, such as to "stop, drop and roll" should our houses ever catch fire, presumably from non-nuclear sources.

I was skeptical of this advicemy first inclination in case of fire was, and is, to run, not stop — but I dutifully dropped and rolled when asked to do so. ilf nothing else it was a chance to show off for girls, an opportunity a fourth-grader won't miss ifhe can

help it.)

Your views Harvey in charge, it's a bright new day for Baker County

Letters to the editor

Good morning. It is a good m orning forBaker County.Now is the beginning of a new day!

After 12 years of the status quo we can now anticipate some economic progress and freedom in Baker County. That is our goal.

Our county is rich in resources, naturaland human, but poor in opportunity. One of our greatest problems has been that the federal agencies, which we have hired to manage and protect the natural resources on our public lands, now appear to believe they own those lands and resources.

Their management technique is largely that of precluding our access and use. As a result each yearlarge areas offorestburn for lack of constructive use and onthe-groundmanagement.Then salvage lumber from the remaining dead trees is precluded, all wasted resources and money.

Would intelligent forest management permit this?

We welcome letters on any issue of public interest. Letters are limited to 350 words. Writers are limited to one letter every 15 days. Writers must sign their letter and include an address and phone number (for verification only). Email letters to news@ bakercityherald.com.

M ineral resourcesare also held hostage by the federal agencies. The agencies have delayed the mining of some claims for verylong periods asserting the time is required to make sure that no environmental restraints are violated. Some mining applicati ons have been delayed for years instead of a few months as envisioned by the laws that govern the process. A vigorous, and safe, mining industry would add very greatly to the local economy.

Then why can't it be?

Local controls are robbing our prosperity also. The process required for permission to build a new house is tedious and expensive. Each step of the way requires study or inspection each

of which has a time delay and dollar fee attached.The costof approved access in some cases precludes building. Both the extratime and money required by excessive localcontroldiscouragesconstruction of,particularly rural, new homes.

The above is but a tiny tip of a gigantic iceberg that has brought our economicand socialprogress to a grinding halt. We now have a leader, Bill Harvey, who understands basic economics and our rights under the Oregon and U.S. Constitutions. Let us all give Commissioner Harvey our enthusiastic support and enjoy the benefits of the new day.

the world — realized a nation needed a single bomb rather than squadrons of aircraft to obliterate a great city.

What shocked me, though, is how quickly the belief spread that nuclear war was inevitable and that tens of millions of Americans would die in an atomic armageddon.

Nor were such predictions limited to a handful of conspiracy theorists.

The staid New York Times wrote, in reference to the bombings in Japan: "In that terrible flash 10,000 m iles away,men here have seen not only the fate of Japan, but have glimpsed the future of America."

On Aug. 26, 1945, the Washington Post wrote that the life expectancy ofthehuman racehad"dwindled immeasurably in the course of two brief weeks."

Even comedians rapidly incorporated into their acts what Boyer aptlydescribes asa"psychicevent."

Bob Hope, for instance, in his radio show at Valentines Day in 1946, joked that the usual"roses are red" verses had been replaced by the likes of'Will you be my little geranium, until we are both blown up by uranium?"

Because I didn't live through that period I'll never truly understand how deeplythe doomsday atmosphere permeated America.

Irecognize,ofcourse,thatitwas

plausible to believe then that a nuclear holocaust was imminent.

Afterall,every previous technological leap with a potential military use, whether gunpowder or repeatingriflesorbreech-loading artillery, had been put to bloody effect on the battlefield and eventuallyhad become partofallthe great powers' arsenals.

That the atomic bomb would be different must have seemed a hopelessly naive belief in the late summer and fall of 1945.

Yettoday,seven decades later,we have avoidednuclear catastrophe.

And not, as pundits predicted in 1945 and as Boyer discusses in considerable detail, by figuring out how todo away with war through a world government that would controlatomic power.

We've had plenty of war since 1945.

And many countries have atomic weapons in their stockpiles.

Yet we'vemanaged, ashumanity, not to take theterrible step thatwe seemed poisedattheprecipiceof in those days when the mushroom cloud had yet to become cliche.

I don't know that this qualifies as progress.

But it's certainly better than the alternative.

BULLTROUT Continued from Page1A The watershed is on the east slopes of the Elkhorn Mountains about 10 miles west of Baker City.

A U.S. Forest Service survey found bull trout in Salmon Creek in the early 1990s, said Joseph Vacirca, isheriesbiologistfor the f Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

Most of the bull trout data from streams in the Powder River basin date trom the early 1990s, and officials want to have newer information, Vacirca said.

Last summer a joint effort of the Forest Service and the Powder Basin Watershed Council studied reaches of several streams on both the eastand west slopesofthe Elkhorns.

Workers using electric current to temporarily stun fish found bull trout in Salmon Creek on Forest Service land, Vacirca said.

Those fish are in effect confined between a downstream reservoir, and Baker City's diversion upstream, where water trom Salmon Creek enters the city's water supply pipeline, he said.

As a result, Salmon Creek is not designated as critical habitat for bull trout by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, theagency responsible forprotecting the species, Vacirca said.

However, sections of more than a dozen other streams — totaling 184 miles — are

listed as critical habitat for bull trout, which potentially could affect logging, mining and other activity near those streams,as wellasdiverting water trom them for irrigation.

Critical habitat streams include:

West sideof the Elkhorns Cracker Creek, Deer Creek, Fruit Creek, Lake Creek, Little Cracker Creek, Silver Creek, upper Powder River Phillips Reservoir is also listed as critical habitat, as bull trout from streams that empty into the reservoir, including Deer Creek and the Powder River, could migrate between the streams and the reservoir.

Several years ago the Fish and Wildlife Service

had proposed adding sectionsof severalother Baker County streams to the critical habitat list, including Pine and Rock creeks on the

SRld.

Rep. John HuSnan, R-The Dalles, will serve on the Ways and Means Committee and the education and capital construction subcommittees, all key to making final decisions on state budgeting.

He said one immediate question is whether the state would have to give away about $300 million under its unique personal income tax rebate, or kicker, system.

east slopes of the Elkhorns.

But neither stream made the final cut.

In the case of Pine Creek, Bailey said, ODFW hasn't tried to do any surveys because officials assumed they wouldn't get permissionfrom privateproperty owners to do the work.

Pine Creek flows mainly through private land; only the upper mile or so below Pine Creek Reservoir, near the crest of the Elkhorns, flows through public land.

A critical habitat designation can potentially have major effects on how a stream is used, Bailey said.

He cited as an example

the Walla Walla River near Milton-Freewater.

Before the bull trout was listedas threatened, allthe water from that river was diverted for irrigation, leaving the channel dry for part of the year, Bailey said.

Fish, obviously, don't do well in such situations.

To avoidpenaltiesfrom the federal Fish and Wildlife Service related to bull trout, irrigators with water rights for the Walla Walla Riveragreed toreduce their usage, leaving water in the river year-round, Bailey sard.

In such cases the federal Endangered Species Act su-

persedesstate-issued water rights, he said.

Thus far the federal listing of the bull trout has not led to similar situations on any Baker County streams.

Sections of some streams do godry afterwater is diverted for irrigationPine Creek in the Elkhorns, for instance — but as mentioned that stream is not critical habitat for bull trout, nor has the species been confirmed in Pine Creek.

Community colleges would see a $70 million bump, and the state's university system would get $113.5 million more under the proposed outline over the current budget.

Devlin said while there are still "10,000 diferent questions" left unanswered, the tramework gets the message across that Oregon puts education first. ''We are balancing in terms of priorities, and I think that's the fundamental thing that we want to emphasize," he said.

The outline proposes putting about $159 million into the state's Rainy Day Fund, which would create the largest reserve in Oregon history.

GARDINER, Mont.Twentyyears after their ancestors were released here in one of the most contmversial wildlife projects of the century, wolfhowls punctuated the cold winter air on Monday to thedelight ofdozensofwolf watchers.

'Thisisa greatday,"said Char Thompson of Eugene, Oregon, as she manned her spotting scope on a snowy hill near Junction Butte to watch the nearby wolves.'To have interaction and so close."

"Lots of people thought the wolves wouldn't be very visible when they were reintmduced," said Rick McIntyre, a veteran with the Yellowstone Wolf Project."My first day back in the park, I saw the entire Crystal Creek pack, so it's a big circle oflife."

It was 1995 when the first eight wolves live-trapped in Canada were placed inside fenced endosures in Yellowstone to acdimate them to the areain hopes they would notimmediately bolt back to their homeland — called a soft release.

A recent study calculated the total number oflivestock killed by wolves between January 1987 — which is beforewolves were reintroduced — to December 2012 in Idaho, Montanaand Wyoming at 5,670animals:1,853cattle and 3,723 sheep. The study goeson to suggestthatremoval of wolves for livestock depredation can in some cases slightlyraise the chance for increased livestock kills.

A 2010 study by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture showed that out of 1.7 million cattle deathsthatyear,only 2.3 percent were caused by predators.

ONTARIO — Baker defeatedOntario 42-31in a Greater Oregon League wrestling match Tuesday at Ontario.

It was the first time Baker has beat Ontario since the 2005 season.

Will Goodwin showed the rest of the team what they needed to do with a first round pin at 285 pounds.

Next up was newcomer Dawson Dollarhide. Dollarhide had a 6-5 lead when he sunk a half nelson and secured the win by fall at

106.

"I have never seen that kind of intensity from Dawson," said Baker coach Brandon Young."He knew his team needed him to make somethinghappen."

This built some momentum for the Bulldogs and next up was freshman Elijah Banister. Young said Banister got in on a nice shot but was unable to finish it and was thrown to his back. Throughout the match he battled his way back to a 4-4 tie and then was also able to catch his opponent in a half nelson for the fall.

"Elijah is our go to guy," Young said."I know we can depend on him to get the job done, whether it be bumping up a weight class or inthiscase dropping to a lowerclassfortheteam."

Logan Valentine had

the closest matchup of the night, Young said.

Valentine gained a takedown at the end of the first period against Jeff Kovach.

Kovach scored a reversal in thesecond period to tie the match 2-2. Kovach was able to ride Valentine for most of the third round until Valentine caught him out of position for a 2-point reversalattheend ofthe match for the 4-2 win.

Nick Blair received a forfeitat 138.M arcoVela then took on a much larger opponent at 145.

"He wrestled smart and used good technique to secure the 6-3 win," Young sald.

Then after two Baker losses, team captain Peter Baker wrestled to secure the win for the Bulldogs.

At this point the dual score was 36-25. Ontario was still within reach of being able to take the win if they scoredtwo falls.

'There is no one else I would rather have as a closer than Peter Baker," Young said.

He faced Gage McAvoy.

Baker had built a 5-2 lead in the second round when he was able to secure an armbar ona tiring opponent for the fall.

The Bulldogs' next match is at home today at 4 p.m. against Imbler and Grant Union.

PULLMAN, Wash.— The men's basketball teams of Washington State and Oregon have battled 288 times since 1908, but the Cougars and Ducks never staged a wilder shooter than Thursday night at Beasley Coliseum.

Washington State, with three players scoring20 orm orepoints,outlasted Oregon 108-99 in overtime. The combined 207 points area seriesrecord;the 108 points are a series best for WSU; and the 108 points rank second in WSU history for a conference game.

Josh Hawkinson led the Cougars i9-7, 3-1 Pac-12l with 26 points and 13 rebounds. DaVonte Lacy added 24 points, Ike Iroegbu tied his season high with 20, and Brett Boese scored a career-high 16 for the Cougars.

"They're playing with tremendous confidence," Oregon coach Dana Altman said."Ernie iKent, WSU's first-year coach) is doing a great job. They're playing so much better than they were earlier in the season."

Altman replaced Kent at Oregon when the latter was fired by his alma mater in 2010aftera largely successful13-year

run. The winningest coach in Ducks history played down the importance of coaching against his former team.

'This was about my basketball team and the next hurdle they needed to overcome," Kent said.

The Ducks i12-5, 2-2l had won seven straight against WSU, and 10 of 11.

Joseph Young tied his career high of 32 points, and Elgin Cook scored a careerhigh 26 and added 10 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to offset a lax defensive effort. WSU shot 72.4 percent from the field in the first half and 58.9 percent for the game.

"I chose the class because it fit with my interest," she sald.

Rainy Wescott, 16, a 10th grader at the Baker Web Academy, was a member of a group assigned to a"recon" litterpatrolofthe area.

The students picked up paper products mostly from nearbyfast-food restaurants

dropped by passersby, and broken glass unrelated to the machine shop operation.

Westcott said that while the study ofbrownfields doesn't figure into her future careerplans ofbecoming a model, she's enjoying learning more about the issue and writing the "request for qualifications." The class is seeking applications from environmental cleanup companies that would be interested in improving the site to make it suitable for sale.

"Each person has their own area that we're writing about, and we're putting it all together,"Westcott said.

Over the course of their studies, students have learnedthatthereare about 80 brownfield sites in Baker City.

Alameda said the community is second only to Klamath Falls in the number ofbrownfield sitespercapita in Oregon, according to the Department of Environmen-

The Wednesday field trip in freezing weather was aimed atbringing the project tolif e forstudents,Alameda said. They have spent most of the first semester in the classroom writing about the projectin preparation for issuing the request for qualifications. sWe needtorefocus to remember what we're doing thisfor,"she said.

The 34-year-old Alameda grew up in Portland and said she "has always had a passion for the natural world."

She holds a bachelor's degree in environmental science and resources, a master's in environmental education and a Master of Arts Teaching Science degree.

She has traveled throughout the world and began her teachingcareer atIdaho Falls, Idaho,before moving to Baker City with her husband, Burke Smejkal, who also teaches at Baker High

School and Eagle Cap. During Wednesday's field trip, Alameda read a children's story to her students with a lesson about look-

ing at the environment from different perspectives.

And she directed them to w rite a letterto someone or something associated with thesite beforeboarding the bus to return to their classroom at North Baker Education Center.

Eva Jones-Bedolla, 14, a BHS freshman, wrote expressingher apologiesto the animals who live on the contaminated site.

Jones-Bedolla said she enrolled in the class, which providesa halfscience credit and ahalfelective credit,to "actually do something to help the community — to do something worthwhile."

She rated the class as "really cool."

The property was left to the Baker School District along with a cash gift for student scholarships by the late Walter and Eva Ostwald.

Eva was a popular longtime BHS business teacher.

water well on the site also was found to be contaminated.

The cleanup will require taking the well out of service, and hauling off the contaminated soil and replacing it.

The cost of cleanup was prohibitive for a private buyer, but the school district, as a public entity, was eligible for brownfield cleanup money offered through the Oregon Business Development Department in cooperation with the Environmental Protection

agency, said Doug Dalton, the district's chief financial offrcer.

Dalton was involved in preliminary negotiations for the sale of the property and the district's participation in the brownfield project funding, Alamada said.

Dalton also is a member of the Ostwald Site Project Committee, along with the class's 10 students; Alameda; Jerry Peacock, Eagle Cap principal; and Superintendent Walt Wegener.

The Baker County Private Woodlands Association invites the public to attend its meeting on Jan. 22 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the OSU Baker County Extension offrce, 2600 East St. in Baker City.

The meeting program includes a discussion with Mark Jacques, formerly of the Oregon Department of Forestry, and Bill Gamble, ranger for the Forest Service's La Grande District. They are committee members for the East Face of the Elkhorns project, which is an outgrowth of the national Cohesive Wildfire Strategy.

Thisprojectaddresses the three Cohesive Strategygoals:resilientlandscapes,fireadapted communities and effrcient, effective wildfire response.

The 70,000-acre East Face planning area coversabout 40,000 acresoftheW allowaWhitman National Forest and 30,000 acres of stateand privatelands along the eastslopes of the Elkhorns in Baker and Union counties.

This effort seeks to help communities and the ecosystem through creation of resilient, ire-adapted landscapes and willreceive f significant funding support through the U.S. Forest Service and the National Resources Conservation Service. As part of the Cohesive Strategy's fuels reduction component, the project team has awarded $60,000 in feasibility grant funding to four biomass utilization projects. The strategy also links to the Forest Service's Eastside Restoration Strategy and is working closely with local collaborative groups.

The East Face project will also benefit from Oregon State's investment of $2.88 million in eastside forest restoration work. These funds are designated for supporting local collaborative groups, providing scientific and technical assistance, and advancing direct work with the ForestService toincrease pace and scale ofrestoration.

The Blue Mountains Cohesive Wildfire Strategy project is truly a holistic, "all-hands, all-lands" approach to mitigating the risk of catastrophic wildfire, one of the dominant forest issues in the western states.

and national levels, including four shooting events and four responsibility events.

The shooting events are: .22-caliber rifle, shotgun, muzzle-loading rifles and archery.

Four events that focus on hunter responsibility are: a written test on the hunters handbook, wildlife identification, hunters safety trail and orienteering.

Students will participate in the state event in June at which two five-person teams will be selected to compete at the national competition with an all-expense paid trip to the NRA Whittington Center at Raton, New Mexico, Buckner said. Students 14 and younger compete as juniors and those 15 to 18 compete as seniors.

Oregon teams have won three national championships and placed second or third three times each, Buckner said.

McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration announced new rules Thursday that will greatlyexpand the leewayAmerican travelers have to travel to Cuba, allow more trade between the former adversarie sandmake iteasier to do business with Cuba.

The new rules chip away at theU.S.trade embargo, part of President Barack Obama'sdecision to reestablish diplomatic relations with Cuba. Talks to begin the process are scheduled next week in Havana.

"These changes will immediately enable the American peopleto provide more resources to empower the Cuban population to become less dependent upon the state-driven economy, and help facilitate our growing relationship with the Cuban people," said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.

Advocatesofm ore commerce cheered the new rules, from farm state politicians to big business.

"Amending these regulations is not just about increasing commercial ties foragriculture producers in Kansas and across the country. I believe closer ties could help change the nature of the relationship between the Cuban people and their repressivegovernment,"said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan. "They will permit U.S. businessesto begin getting to know Cuba and also enable businesses and private citizens to engage directly with the Cuban people," said Jake Colvin, vice president

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., led thecharge ofcritics saying the new regulations would enrich Cuba's dictators, not its people.

'This is a windfall for the Castro regime that will be used to fund its repression against Cubans," Rubio said, "as well as its activities against US. national interests in Latin America and beyond."

The Obama administration said the new travel and trade would help ordinary people.

"Basically the whole effect is to enable average Cubans, to givethem greateropportunities to essentially operate outside ofbeing dependent on theCuban state,"said a senior US. offtciai who spoke only on the condition of anonymity as a matter of policy, along with other administration offtcials quoted for this story.

RECOGNIZING THE RISIt', OF AVALANCHES

BASE CAMP TOM CLAYCOMB

Beating the winter

doldrums with a feast of wild food As I type this article it's January.

Pretty soon a big majority of our outdoor eventsare going to come to a screeching halt.

Sure, today I was coyote and crow hunting and waterfowl hunting will be going on a little bit longer, but as a whole, things will get slow.

What's a guy to do? Ha, that's easy, have aWildgame Feed!Around where I live there are a lot of them from January up until March. A lot of the churches here have them as an outreach as well as some of the bowhunting clubs and fishing clubs. I've attended a lot of them and given talks or seminars at a bunch.

I love them. What's not to love?

There's good food, you're around outdoorsmen,there'llbea good speaker and probablya lotofgood props and raffles.

Many of the local businesses donate items to be raffled off. I'd encourage you to put on one if there's none in your area.

Slopes in the Elkhorn Mountains, as in this scene near Anthony Lakes, can be prone to avalanches.

You're in the Wallowas, backcountry skiing down an untouched slope when you hear the ground make a sound you've never heard. What do you do?

Iknow my fi rst— and probably only — reaction would be to panic, which is why I decided to head over to Eastern Oregon University Wednesday.

Michael Hatch, Eastern's new outdoorprogram coordinator, was conducting a free avalanche awareness presentation, and I feltthat iftherewas evera person tohear advice from regarding avalanches, it was him.

Hatch is a board member of the Wallowa Avalanche Center, has volunteered his time to the centerasitslead forecaster and education coordinator, and he's member of Union County Search and Rescue.

So it's safe to say that this was the right man to learn from.

Right ofFthe bat, he showed us

THE REC ROOM JQSH BENHAM the raw power of avalanches. It's probablya phenomenon thatyou don't truly appreciate until you're up close and personal with one.

In the introductory videos of skiers triggering avalanches, we in the audience got to see what they look like. The scenes were terrif ying,butIlearned agreat deal that could save my life if, at any time in the future, I'm in that unfortunate position.

Hatch touched on a number of avalanche issues, but the main theme I took from it was being prepared.

Forthe most part,he said, snowpacks are stable. The key, according to Hatch, is being able to recognize when it's not.

The differences in loose and dry and loose and wet snow was highlighted as a key component, as the wet stufF was vastly more

powerful and created more avalanches. Another feature to look out for is layers of snow with different characteristics,m ost commonly forming when differenttypesofsnow fallon top of each other.

Slab avalanches, which accountformost fatalities,form when snow is moved by wind.

Hatch cautioned backcountry travelerstobevigilantforthese.

Hatch said that in just six seconds, slab avalanches can reach speeds up to 80 mph.

"That's the thing about slabs," he said.eYou can get out in the middle of it, and it breaks out all around you. Then you're in for the ride of your life."

Another prime sign of potential avalanches Hatch spoke about is huge swaths of treeless pathways, which show travelers where past avalanches have occurred. But, surprisingly to me at least, he said thatjustbecause you're skiing in the trees, doesn't

ENTERPRISE — The Oregonfur-bearing trapping season runs from December to the end of February each year, regulated carefully by state biologists and monitored by state police.

This fall, a Wallowa County man was con-

HUNTERS: DON'TFORGETTO REPORT BY JAN. 31 Big game and turkey hunters need to report their results, whether or not they were successful in 2014 hunts, before Jan. 31, 2015, to avoid a $25 penalty.

Hunters who participated in a telephone survey are also asked to report their results.

Hunters can report in the following ways: • online at www.dfw.state.or.us.

• by calling 1-866-947-6339.

Hunters will need their hunter/angler ID number. If you don't have a license, tag or other document with your number, call 1-866-947-6339 to get the number.

Hunters whose hunt area included more than one Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) will need the two-digit number of the WMU where they spent the most time.

Reporting information includes whether you were successful, and how many days you hunted (including rnentrri n youth).

The deadline to report for hunts that end between Jan. 1 and March 31 is April 15.

Classes, such as high-intensity interval training boxing, are expected to see continual growth in the new year.

High-intensity interval training, also known as HIIT, involves short bursts of intense activity, followed by brief periods of rest.

By Jack Kelly Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The hottest fitness trends for 2015 are body weight training and highintensity interval training, according to the ninth annual survey of 3,400 health and fitness professionals worldwide by the American College of Sports Medicine.

Boxing is a popular HIIT class at Dougherty's athletic club. Students spar with the Boxmaster, an exercise machine that costs nearly $15,000, not with each other.

Boxing stimulates all muscle groups, providesboth aerobic and anaerobic training, and can burn up to 1,000 calories an hour.

"Boxing is empowering for women," said Jackie Frederick, the fitness and wellness director who teaches it.aYou feel better after you hit something."

Also popular is "Piloxing," which combines boxing moves with Pilates.

HIIT works in part because"people tend to push their bodies harder when they know it's just for a short time," Frederick said.

Though HIIT is a demonstrably superior way to build muscle, burn fat and increase cardiovascular endurance, it's hard to do, can be dangerous for those who are out of shape or have health problems.

If that describes you, a kinder, gentler cousin of HIIT is making a comeback. Circuit training — six to 10 exercisesperformed with briefrestsin between — is 14th in this survey, up from 18lastyear.

How to Find a workout

By Sandi Doughton

for you

The Seattle Times

L

et's face it: Finding a workout that fits your needs can be overwhelming.

There are gym memberships, hundreds of fitness classes, fancy cardio equipment, weight machines and all those exercise DVDs we see in infomercials. Surely, doing some formofexerciseisbetter than nothing, but how do we know if it is something we will stick to and see results fiom?

This is the time you need to challenge yourself and take a chance. The problem most people have with working out is that it's exactly thatwork. And who has time to fit more work into an already jammed dayofbeing atwork and the everyday chore of taking care ofhousework.

The key is finding something you will enjoy doing.

As a group fitness instructor,Ialways encourage people to try a group fitness class.

Thereareclassesforallfitness levels: Zumba for those who like to dance away the calories, kickboxing orcombat for those who need to punch out their stress, aqua and low-impactclassesforthose who may have injuries or just want to start moving, toning or pump classes for those who want to focus on strength, yoga or Pilates for those who want to focus on core strength and flexibility. And the list goes on. Try one or two classes a week. Jot down the class time in your calendar and set a reminder so you can get used to making it part of your weekly routine.

If working out in a group setting makes you cringe, give personal training a try. When most people hear "personal training," they think expensive, expensive.

You must think of it as an investment in your health.

When you meet with a trainer, that person will assess your fitness abilities and talk about how they will help you reach your wellness goals.

Personaltrainersare not there to shout and bark at you while you try to do one pushup. The workout is tailored just for you and your fitness level. You will learn how to properly use the gym equipmentand learn how to do each exercise properly and safe. Plus, you will get advice on your calorie intake.

Scheduling a weekly session with a personal trainer is a good way to kick-start your workout routine. And it is something you will stick to becauseno one likesto disappoint their trainer.

Charlotte Alger had trouble paying for health insurance when she worked at Home Depot and left to find better benefits. Although the rise in premiums has slowed since passage of the Affordable Care Act, workers like Alger who receive health insurance through their employers are shouldering a higher share of health care expenses at a time when wages are stagnant, according to a new report from the Commonwealth Fund.

HEALTH PREM S RISING • Workers shoulder more of cost of premiums ByTara Siegel Bernard New YorkTimes News Service

When Charlotte Alger, 25, was working at a Home Depot just outside Boston last year, she said, she earned $10.75 an hour working on the sales floor in the woodworking department. She chose one of the more comprehensive health insurance plans offered, but it came with a

$3,000 deductible.

Paying for such a large share of her costs up front was burdensome, particularly because Alger, who recently went back to college, regularly seesa psychologistfor depression and anxiety."I felt sort of ripped offa she said, adding that none ofher previous doctors were included in the plan's network."I see a mental health care professional, and it'snotthe kind of doctor you want to switch."

She ultimately decided to switch

Although the rise in premiums has slowedsince passage oftheAffordable Care Act, workers who receive health insurance through their employers are shouldering more health care expenses at a time when wages are stagnant, according to a new report from the Commonwealth Fund that analyzedcostsacrossthestates.

These costs are particularly high — relative to median income — for workers in the South and South Central states, where income is below the national average, the report found, even though the growth of premiums had slowedin severalstatesin those regions. cWithout growth in income, rising out-ofpocket costsmeans less affordable care," said Cathy Schoen, executive director of the Commonwealth Fund's Council of Economic Advisors.

Insurance premiums have risen faster than median incomes for workers under 65 in all states in the decade from 2003 to 2013. Average annual premiums — including what both employers and employees contribute— represent 20 percent or more of the median income in 37 states. That was the case in only two states in 2003.

While employers are trying various strategiestocontain healt h care costs, shifbng more expenses to employees is one of the main tools."Increasing cost-sharing is the tried and true way to keep their premiums down," said Drew Altman, president of Kaiser Family Foundation.NWe're seeing a steady, slow increase in cost-sharing every year."

SEATTLE — On Wednesday Dr. Rafael Hernandez will roll up his sleeve and offerhisforearm to200 ravenous, malaria-infected mosquitoes.

Ifhe's lucky — and the Seattle scientists who cooked up the experiment are right — Hernandez won't get sick.

Nor should any of the nine other volunteers participating in early tests of a vaccine against malaria, a disease that kills a half-million people around the world everyyear.

"I'm not totally confident, but I think the riskis fairly low," said Hernandez, a pediatri cian and researcher at Seattle Children's who decided to put himself on the lineforthe sake ofm alaria's victims, particularly the African youngsters most at risk.

Even if the tests succeed, many hurdles remain before Seattle BioMed, the private research lab behind the effort, would have a commercially viable vaccine. But if all goes well, it's possible a product could be on the market in less than 10 years, said project leader Stefan Kappe.

Kappe has already spent a decadeatthelabin Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood pursuing an unusual vaccinestrategy pioneered more than 30 years ago but abandoned because it was considered impractical.

It's been a roller-coaster ride,startingwith a $14 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, then taking a stomachchurning plunge when a volunteer in an earlier trial came down with malaria.

When the Gates grant wasn't renewed, the project stalled. A $3 million infusion from the U.S. Department of SeeMalaria / Page 5C

Problem-solving tools for e c onically ill hose with chronic illnesses face problems like anyone else, but a helpful problem-solving method taught at the Living Well Workshop organized

by Community Connection of Northeast Oregon equips them to make the best possible choices in their unique circumstances.

Workshop co-facilitators Kathy Hayden and Rochelle Hamilton presented the seven-stepproblem solving method to the class. ''When trying to reach a solution to a problem, such as 'Should I get help

in the house?' first, make a (two-columnl list to write down the pros and cons to this question," said Hayden.

"Then assign a value (one through five) to each idea listed in each column, with ive being ofgreatestvalue f and one being the least. Add up the values in each column and whatever is higher is the suggested outcome."

Of course, the suggested outcome is only a suggestion.

Nothing in this method is etchedin stone,soifa person is still unsure of the suggested solution to the question or problem, Hayden suggested doing the"gut test." cThe gut test is when you ask yourself,'How do I earnestly feel about this solution?"' she said.

When a chronically ill person has come to terms with his gut feeling, he should selectoneidea and try it for a three-month period to see if it works. If it doesn't quite meet his needs, then substituteanother ideafor thefailed one.

"It's OK to try new approaches," Hayden said.

"Analyze why the idea didn't work and try new options.

An important part of problem solving is brainstorming. Don't discount any idea.

They all fit in somewhere."

When brainstorming, make use of other resources for ideas, whether thatis a fiiend, support group or websites.

'Visit credible websites with addresses that end with.org, .gov or .edu," said Hamilton.

Sometimes despite our bestefforts,allattempts to solve a problem may fail.

aWe may have to accept the fact that the problem is not solvable right now," Hamilton said."But try again later."

Failure to solve a problem could be time-related.

Patience may be rewarded.

It may be possible to solve it later with changing circumstancesornew, available resources.

The Living Well Workshop teaches a number of valuable self-management skills for the chronically ill and their caregivers. For information about upcoming classes, contact Hayden or Hamilton at 541-963-3186.

The Starz adventure series "Black Sails" casts the British veteran of screen ("Die Another Day"i,

stage("Private Lives") and radio drama as the famed Captain Flint, who nurturcs young discipleJohn I Silver (playc<j by Luke Arnold) to help him defend the vice-ridden New Providence Island. The mission continues when Season 2 sets sail Saturday,Jan. 24.

Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, the saga resumes with the duo's mis<jeeds against fellow pirates discovered, making them even closer allies as they fight to survive. Admitting the filming days are "very long and very tough," Stephens says,"It's

Though Flint was a celebrated character before "Black Sails" was developed — thanks especially to his being a factor in Robert Louis Stcvenson's classic novel "Treasure Island" — Stephens appreciates that he and the show's creator-producers (including executive producer Michael Bayi enjoy "carte blanche" in developing their ovvn variation.
