TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald January 18, 1966 A Baker man, Fred Koehler, was re-elected vice president of the Oregon Wildlife Federation at their meeting Jan. 15-16 at Corvallis, it was reported Monday night at a meet of the Powder River Sportsmen's Club. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald January 18, 1991 The Persian Gulf war has prompted the military to ask the Snake River Region of the American Red Cross to supply 200 units of blood within the next two weeks, according to Betty Everson, manager of the Baker City branch. She said the military has asked the Red Cross on a national level to supply1,000 units of blood in the next two weeks. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald January 18, 2006 Mayor Charles Hofmann fears a cell phone is going to hurt someone. Not the phone itself — they're getting tinier all the time, and mostmodels wouldn'tmake veryeff ectiveweapons. But put a cell phone in one hand of a person who's using the other to pilot a 5,000-pound rig at 35 mph, and as far as Hofmann's concerned you've created a potentially catastrophic combination. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald January 19, 2015 Don O'Grady and Chris Combs walked away unharmed from a scene that found them caught in the middle of a massive pileup that closed the eastbound freeway lanes from Pendleton to Ontario Saturday. The vehicle they were traveling in was wedged in by the wreckage of twisted trucks, semitrailers and passenger vehicles from about 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. Combs drovehis 2006 Dodge Durango away without a scratch about 4 p.m., leaving the two men to wonder how they'd been so lucky. "The good ol' Lord was looking out for us," O'Grady said Sunday back at his home in Haines after another day on the job atAsh Grove Cement's Durkee plant.

Kenneth Medenbach, 62, of Crescent was arrested at a Safeway grocery store in Burns on a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, authorities said. 0$cials said they did not know whether he was one of the men occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge since Jan. 2. He has a history of protesting against federalownership ofland,accordingtopublished reports. A secondfederal vehicle also stolen from the refuge in recent days was recovered in connection with the arrest of Medenbach, authorities said. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service vehicles — a van and a pickup — had signs with the name "Harney County Resource Center" stuck on them. That's the name the occupiers have given the wildlife refuge. Soon after they took over the wildlife refuge headquarterscomplex,theprotestors began usingfederalvehicles they found there. Medenbach's is the first arrest in connection with the occupation. The Harney County SherifFs 0$ce on Friday afternoon said that Oregon State Police arrested Medenbach shortly after noon on Friday. The wildlife service had previouslyreported to the Harney County SherifFs 0$ce that the vehicles were stolen from the refuge. Oregon State Police troopersand deputies from several county sherifFs offices responded to the scene at Safeway.

that at least five deer and one wild turkey had been illegally killed within the Lookout Mountain Wildlife Management Unit. Four of the five deer were bucks with their heads removed,and allof the carcasseswere leftto waste. Authorities say the animals were likely killed Thanksgiving week. The Oregon Hunters Association is offering a reward fortips leading to an arrest and conviction.

the local area have been in an economic tailspin for decades after the loss of a lumber mill that some blamed on federal restrictions involving timberharvests. Restrictions on other federal lands are a common theme offrustration. The Bundys had planned a meeting with community members Friday night, but it was put in limbo after county officials said they couldn't use the fairgrounds. Arizona rancher Robert"LaVoy" Finicum, a spokesman for the group, toldreporters Friday that protesters still were hopeful the meeting might occur next week, perhaps Monday, if they can find a location. He criticized local officials for "making sure we have no access to facilities to talk to the residents." The group has said they won't leave until the ranchersjailed for arson are freed and the refuge is turned over to local control. Locals who agreed to be interviewed were themselves conflicted, expressing anger toward federal land policies but bothered by the armed takeover. "I don't agree with anything they're doing right now," Ben McCanna said. But McCanna, 54, also said the ranchers' return to prison was wrong, and that he was irked that the U.S. Forest Service closed ofFaccessto one ofhis favorite camping spots in nearby Malheur National Forest. The issue ofland management is one discussed throughout the West. A group of mostly Republican congressmen is holding meetings in Southern Utah next week to hear concerns from local officials who worry a Bureau of Land Management proposal unfairly restncts hvestock grazing and motorizedrecreation.

So far, authorities have not triedto remove the group from the Malheur refuge as the standofFhits the twoweek mark. As it drags on, people in the high desert area are growing increasinglyweary and wary ofthe group. Cement barriers have beenerectedto block streets around the county courthouse in the small Eastern Oregon town of Burns, where police from around the state have set up a command center. About 30 miles to the south, at the refuge, other protesters carrying what appear to be military-style rifles scan the snow-covered rangeland from atop an old fire lookout that gives them a sweepingview ofroads leading into the area. "If we all keep a calm about us, everything will be OK," Brenda Pointere said Thursday as she exited a Burns restaurant."It started out calm, but the longer it goes on — you start to hear rumors." The occupation started Jan. 2 as a protest about two local ranchers who had beenconvictedofarson being returnedtoprison to serve longer sentences. Afterward, a group led by Ammon Bundytraveledto occupy the refuge to protest the ranchers return to prison and demand that the 300-square-mile refuge be turned over to local control. Bundy said he understood the frustration of Harney County residents. "They have been suppressed to the point where they'reready to act,"he said Thursday inside a heated wildlife refuge building while his brother, Ryan, and two women sat nearby.

The two vehicles in question"were reported stolen after the start of the situation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge," the Harney County SherifFs 0$ce said Friday. Medenbach previously operated a woodworking shop in La Pine that featured a secondhand policecarthat served as a faux speed trap, The Bend Bulletin newspaper reported. In the mid-1990s, Medenbachclaimed 640 acresof federal Bureau of Land Management land in north Klamath County. He used arguments similar to those advanced by the occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to claim the federal government did not have the right to own the land. Medenbach's arguments did not prevail in court, the newspaper reported. Also on Friday, the chairwoman of the Burns Paiute Tribe has asked federal officials to bring criminal charges if any ancient artifactsaredamaged ormissing from a wildlife refuge currently occupied by an armed group. Thousands of ancient artifactsand maps to prehistoric sites are kept at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. Tribe Chairwoman Charlotte Rodrique says she feels helpless knowing that her ancestors' possessions and remains are now in the hands of the armed group angry about federal land policy. She sent a letter to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service urgingfederal prosecution,if warranted, on Friday. One of the leaders of the armed group, Ryan Bundy,

EDITORIAL

n s nose The question ofhow the U.S. Environmental Pro-

tection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers would enforce its Waters of the United States rule is, well, murky. But even the potential powers the rule could give the federal agencies to restrict how water is used in the West are troubling enough. So troubling, in fact, that even Congress, where partisan bickering is the defining characteristic, agreed that the rule goes too far. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives — the latter voting last week — approved a resolution overturning the rule. The resolution now goes to President Obama's

desk. We hope he will sign it. At the heart of this matter is how far the federal government's authority extends in enforcing the 1972 Clean Water Act. Although the Waters of the United States rule is not, as mentioned, crystalline in its definitions, many people who have studied it, including Rep. Greg Walden, the Oregon Republican who represents Baker County, concluded the rule could authorize federal agencies to regulate not just rivers but even temporary waterways such as irrigation ditches and stock ponds. The potential threat the rule poses to farmers and ranchers, the mainstay of the local economy, can hardly be exaggerated. Imagine, for instance, that the EPA determines that irrigation ditches imperil a threatened fish or animal and that the ditches must therefore be

blocked. Severe restrictions on water supply — and even not so severe restrictions, during drought yearscan devastatea farm orranch. The federal government technically started enforcing the new rule in late August. But on Oct. 9 a federal appeals court blocked the government from dolllg SO.

And now Congress has stated unequivocally that it too considers the rule an example of overreach by agencies whose leaders are appointed, not elected. Nor is this the first time the legislative branch has done so. Twice in the previous two years the House of Representatives passed a resolution requiring the EPA to withdraw a rule expanding the agency's authority under the Clean Water Act. Now that the Senate has joined in defying this bureaucratic obstinacy, the president's signature would add a final, and, we would hope, convincing, figurative tweaking of the agencies' nose.

GUEST EDITORIALS

The trouble with minimum sentences Editorial from the Albany Democrat-Herald: In the cascade of ironies that continues to tumble out of the standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, here's one that might have been easy to overlook: The standoff seems likely to renew a debate over the idea of minimum sentences, in both federaland state cases. In fact, during his town meetings in the mid-valley on Saturday.U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon said he intended to take a close look at"mandatory minimums that can sometimes produce more injustice than justice." One of the issues in the standoff in Harney County is the case of rancher Dwight Hammond Jr., and one ofhis sons, Steve. The two men were indicted in 2010 on federal arson charges, regarding a pair of fires that the men set that ended up involving land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. When the Hammonds were indicted, they faced sentencing under the federal Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, even though prosecutors have said they had no intention of treatingtheranchers asterrorists.

But the arson charge, under that particular law, mandated five-year minimum sentences. The federal judge in the case, Michael Hogan, said during the Hammonds' sentencing in 2012 that such a sentence in this case would "shock the conscience" and would be unconstitutional as cruel and unusual punishment. The judge sentenced Dwight Hammond to a three-month term and Steve Hammond to one year. The Hammonds served their time and werereleased from federal custody. And if the story had ended there, we wouldn't be shaking our heads over the increasingly ludicrous standoff at the refuge. Instead, here's what happened: Amanda Marshall, then the U.S. attorney for Oregon, recommended that the government challenge Hogan's sentence. And, when the court of appeals heardthecase,itagreed with the feds: The longer sentences might in fact shock the conscience, the appeals court held, but the law is the law, and the law mandates the minimum sentence. The Hammonds returned to federal prison on Jan. 4. In the meantime, the events at the refuge got under way, even though, to be clear, the Ham-

monds have disavowed the occupation. These minimum sentences aren't just an issue in federal court; judges in Oregon working with Measure 11 crimes often find their hands are tied by laws mandating certain sentences forcertain crimes. Partofthe idea is to ensure uniformity in sentencing, but the not-so-unspoken implication is that minimum sentences serve as a check on too-lenient judges. But partofthe reason why we have judges in the first place is so that they can review all the facts in a case and make decisions accordingly. By tying their hands in making these vital decisions about sentencing — by reducingthese decisions to the cold black-and-white diagram of a matrix — we essentially say that, well, every criminal case is about the same as the next case. In Oregon, the minimum sentences for Measure 11 crimes have helped to fuel the explosive growth in state prison populations, a growth that we're just now starting to get under control. M erkley's callfor a review ofthese rules on the federal level is welcome. State officials might want to consider the merits of a similar review.

Before the season, Baker boys basketball coach Brent Gyllenberg said his Bulldogs could play with defending GreaterOregon League champion LaGrande. But, he said, the Bulldogs would have to play a greatgame. Little did he know how prophetic he would be when Baker traveled to La Grande Fridayto open GOL competition. Baker played one of its betteroverallgames of the season on the way to handing La Grande a 51-36 defeat. "It was a special night," Gyllenberg said. aWe played well. What was really interesting was the foul count." Despite the fact that Baker's Logan Sand and Ryan Schwin, and La Grande's Andrew Peasley each had to be helped from the floor at various times in the game, only 18 fouls were called in the physical contest — just seven on Baker. Only seven free throws were shot in the game. Baker was 3-for-3, and La Grande 1-for-4. Baker blew the game open with a 26-2 burst in the second and third

Apps can't replace time in a

real garden I readily admit that I'm of an age at which new technology does not come easily to me. But I've been using a computer daily for nearly 40 years — something I remind my condescending adult children ofroutinely. Still theyroll their eyes when I'm a little slow on the uptake while they're providing over-the-shoulderinstructions on how to getabetter response from my desktop computer at home. Still, I thought, while considering gardening topics in Baker Countyin January as the snowflakes are falling, maybe there's an app that would make my gardening experience more efficient or moreenjoyableorm oreorganized. A scroll through the Google Play store on myAndroid cellphone to browse for free vegetable gardening applications left me a bit perplexed. There seemed to be no benefit as great as what is available through searching the Oregon State University Extension Service website where horliculturists and other specialistsofferresearch-based gardening information. Much of the textin the apps I scanned was written in broken English and seemed more to encourage the act of gardeningitselfrather than addressing the how-to of gardening. SeeIt GrowslPaI,e 2B

Astory to warm the

heart of a seamstress Recently my eldest son paid me a compliment, passed on by a granddaughter, that brought tears to my eyes. In order to explain it satisfactorily, I need to go back many many years to the 1950s, Idobelieve,tosetthe scene and the times. Those were the years when George and I were raising our little family ofthreesons,salariesbeing low and purchases minimal. During those days it was customary forboysto wearbroadcloth shirtsfor almost everything except for play, then perhaps a T-shirt. Every fall when school started the flannel, broadcloth, or cotton shirt with shortor long sleevesbuttoned atthe cuf, formed a line entering the classrooms. Girls usually wore skirts and cotton blouses. My sister had three boys and a girl while we had three sons. She had Mike, 9; Steve, 6; and Rob, 2. We had Craig, 8; Terry, 7; and Randy, 5. This meant a lot ofboy school shirts between our two families. One summer when our family was visiting our hometown of La Grande fiom Salem, where we lived at the time, my sister and I discussed our common problemofdressing ourolderboysfor school, the younger ones who were growing, and the increasing cost of supplying the needs for school and winter wear.

Winter tree pruning is essential to the health and shaping of a deciduous tree and should ideally be performedduring a tree's dormant period from November through February. "Prunmg is done when the tree is dormant so that you don't have to worry about any insect infestation that happens after you prune the trees," said TeresaGustafson, treeeducator forthe city ofLa Grande. "Another reason to prune now is because of the w inds. It'sagood tim eto get rid of dead branches, hanging branches or things that are likely to come down with our harsher winter weather." W hen pruning, look for limbs that branch across or may rub other parts of the tree, or hangers that may already be up in the tree. Cut co-dominant trunks that have very narrow crotch angles that are more likely to split out in the wind. Being proactive with pruning can stabilize the tree's structure and help it remain healthy. "Another thing you can do is crown thinnmg," said Gustafson."If you have a tree that is particularly thick, you can thin out some of the interior branches which allows for air movement through the trees, and alotoftim esthatreduces incidents of certain diseases like powdery mildew." However, be careful not to overthin the interior of the tree. The leaves areessential for feeding the branch as well as the trunk and roots, so removing too many branches can starve the tree, reduce growth or make the tree unhealthy. "A good rule of thumb is

Tree branches that obscure city traffic signs must be pruned above the sign to make it visible to traffic. The city's urban forestry department does not have a budget to maintainthestreettrees, so it relies on the residents to prune them. Baker City has a similar ordinance, which requires treesoverhanging streetsto be pruned up to 12 feet high and treesoversidewalks to be 8 feet. Sharp hand trimmers, loppingshearsor a 14-foottree prunerare allthatareneeded forthejob and willproduce a sharp, clean cut that the tree can eventually seal over. Gustafson said that while winter pruning is the most ideal time to prune, residentscan'tgetrid ofthe pruned branches for free until March. The Mount Emily Recovery facility on the highway to Union will take the branches for free March through November. In Baker County, Baker Sanitary Service allows residentsto dispose ofsome typesofyard debris,including tree limbs, for free at the company's landfill.

Teresa Gustafson inspects the branches on a London Plain tree on Fourth in La Grande. The spacing of the branches helps the overall structure of the tree when pruned. to maintain at least half the foliageon branches arising in the lower two-thirds of the tree," said Gustafson. Suckers, or water sprouts, are young limbs that grow straightup and areoften produced as a response to previous pruning. Water sprouts don't usually conform to the normal growth pattern of the treeand should be lopped off. "If you're looking at an ideal shade tree, it should have a main central leader with one good single trunk, but very few of our natural deciduous trees take that form," said Gustafson."It starts at the nursery. If you start out by buying a tree that already has the ideal form, then you're already ahead of the game and as the tree grows, all you have to do

is maintain that form." The perfec tstreettree, then, has a good single trunk for quite a ways up the crown. It will also have scaffold branches that are spaced evenly vertically and spiraling around the tree. The main scaffolding branch would be spaced every 18 to 24inches spiraling around the tree. That would be the perfect tree,butthese specimens are rare.

The White House also said the Federal Emergency Management Agency will coordinate all disaster relief efforts to"alleviate the hardship and suffering" on residents.
