Mining plays a major role in Baker County's distant past, and its future might not be as bleak as the industry's relatively moribund present suggests. The prospect for a mining revival here and elsewhere in Eastern Oregon was a key theme during a five-hour summit that brought miners, legislators, economists and others to Baker City Tuesday afternoon. About 100 people attended the freeEastern Oregon Miningand Aggregate Development Summit at the Baker County Events Center. Baker County Economic Development organized the event, which was co-sponsored by the Eastern Oregon Mining Association, Oregonians in Action and the Oregon Concrete and Aggregate Producers Association.

Baker City is in great shape financially in spite of a $2 million loan to build its new water treatment plant. CPA Bob Seymour of Guyer and Associates delivered the annual financial report to the City Council Tuesday evening. The audit covers the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2014. Seymour said that prior to taking out the loan for the water treatment plant last July, the city had been debt-fiee for the previous 12 months. "That is a rare occurrence that the city has

no debt to outside parties whatsoever," Seymour said."I thought that was a very notable accomplishment." He cited the city's $5.7 million in assets, which includes buildings. 'That is an outstanding amount of assets for a city of this size," Seymour said. In summarizing the 66-page audit, Seymour concluded that the accounting firm had found no significant problems in the city's financial records. 'That's the best you can get. That's a clean opinion," Seymour said. SeeCotmcil I Page 6A

Wolf recovery gives ranchers more options By Katy Nesbitt VVesCom News Service

ENTERPRISE — Oregon is moving to Phase II of its wolf recovery plan after wildlife biologists documented seven breeding pairs in 2014,a big step toward removing wolves from the state'sendangered speciesliston theeast sideofthe state. The number ofbreeding pairs drives the recovery of wolves in Oregon. Moving from Phase I to Phase II requires that four or more breedingpairsbedocumented forthreeconsecutive years. To qualify as a breeding pair, two or more pups must survive until the end of the year in which they were born. Todd Nash, a Wallowa County rancher and the Oregon Cattlemen's Association's wolf committee chair, said he was happy for the move to Phase II. "Phase I was a train wreck for us. We were very restricted with what we could do," he said."Now we have a right to shoot a wolf if it is chasing our cattle, under certain circumstances. Under Phase II, two confirmed depredations by ODFW allows them to use lethal control, though we still have to participate in nonlethal measures." SeeWolves I Page8A

Willard Scott of NBC's "Today Show" discussed the project at some length, according to Joyce Badgley Smith, executive director of the Oregon Trail Preservation Trust. Mayor Charles Hofmann saw the show and contacted Smith. Larry Abrams of U.S. Bank recently suggested that the Preservation Trust inform the "Today Show" about the interpretive center project. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 28, 2005 Baker County Undersheriff Warren Thompson takes guests around the Baker County Jail like a real estate agent might show a well-built, modestly-priced house to prospective buyers. With great enthusiasm, and no small amount of pride. And, as Thompson points out, there's room to grow the jail, from its current 36 beds to 45. There are an increasing number of days, he says, when Iailers have more prisoners than beds. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 29, 2014 A rare Baker County ice storm, perhaps the worst of its kind in the past 20 years, slathered streets, roads and pretty much any inanimate object with a slippery glaze overnight. Conditions were sufficiently dangerous to prompt school officials to cancel classes in Baker, Burnt River in Unity, and North Powder. Baker County Circuit Court also was closed today. "It's an awful mess out there," saidTom Strandberg, a spokesman for the Oregon Department ofTransportation in La Grande. "It's just a sheet of ice on all the highways."

Continued ~om Page1A Several speakers said Oregon'sreputation forblocking mining proposals is more perception than legal reality, but theperception resonates with mining companies and potential investors. For instance, Oregon law allows, at least in theory, the typeoflarge-scale gold mines, using cyanide to leach goldfrom ore,thathave bolstered Nevada's economy over the past few decades. The problem, said Frank Erisman, a mining attorney for the Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt firm in Portland, is that mining companies and investorsconsider thelack of large-scale gold-mining operations in Oregon as evidence of the state's anti-mining atmosphere and cumbersome permittingprocess. Potential investors also remember the attempt — though it failed — to ban cyanide mining Eris man in Oregon in the early 1990s, Erisman said. He said he talked recently with a group of Australian investors, trying to interest them in a potential gold mine at Grassy Mountain in Malheur County, about 25 miles southwest of Vale. "They simply would not look at it," Erisman said. "That's a perception that sticks with you." A different company, Calico Resources USA, has been working with state officials for more than two years with a goalofgetting a permit to mine the Grassy Mountain deposit. But Calico's experience if anything has strengthened the belief among investors that Oregon"wants no part in mining, any type of mining," said Andy Bentz, a former Malheur County sheriff who now owns a natural resources consulting firm in Ontario. Bentz, who is the brother of Oregon Rep. Cliff Bentz, the Ontario Republican whose district includes Baker County and who also attended Tuesday's summit, said Calico is one ofhis clients.

— Andy Bentz, Ontario consultant

Although Oregon law allows the type of mining thatCalico hasproposed,the state's permitting process is so complicatedand moves so sluggishly, Andy Bentz said, that he's had investors laugh when he suggested they considermining prospectshere. "Oregon does not promote itself like most of our competitorstatesand countriesdo," he said."The fear oflitigation has driven the process to a crawl. We agonize over every word, and no one wants to make a decision." As an example, Bentz said Calico has waited four months for state officials to decide whether the company needs to do fish surveysin a stream,even though earlier studies show the stream doesn't flow year-round and doesn't harbor any fish. If Calico manages to negotiate Oregon's permitting process and actually startsextracting gold,the company's efforts could begin toreverseOregon's lessthan sterling reputation in the mining industry, Erisman sard. Jan Alexander, a Baker County mining consultant, agreed. 'You can mine in Oregon," said Alexander, who helps miners apply for permits. But they have to get through layers of paperwork before they turn a shovel, she sard. "It is a long and difficult processeven for small scale placer mining operations in Oregon," w hich make up most ofher clients, Alexander sard. Yet even those miners can make major boosts to local economies, both through hiring workers and by buying fuel and equipment, she said. Eastern Oregon's counties need that sort of financial invigoration, said Mark Roberts, an economist who was a member of the first of three discussion panels during Tuesday's summit.

supermajority in the Senate — his influence will be limited when lawmakers convene Monday for the annual session. That means legislative remedies to simplify the permitting process will be difficult to achieve in 2015, Bentz said. But he said that although he might not make much headway inside the Capitol, he intends to spread the message to fellow lawmakers that the continuing economic struggles in rural Eastern Oregon are due in large part to laws backed by westside legislators that thwart attempts to use the vast natural resourcesofthisregion, including minerals. "I need to explain why miningisa necessary partofour future," Bentz said.

rebounded from the Great Recession nearly as well as the Portland metro area has done, Roberts said. "Eastern Oregon counties face significant hurdles to maintain, let alone improve, their economies," he said. Oregonians needn't look far, though, to see how a robust mining industry can bolster the local economy. The slate of speakers Tuesday included Dana Bennett, executivedirectorofthe Nevada Mining Association. Bennett said there are active mines in every Nevada county, and the state's goldminingindustry, were it a country, would rank seventh in the world in gold production. The $8.1 billion industry is bigger than agriculture and manufacturing in Nevada, Bennett said, with taxes on mineral production yielding 7.4percentofthe state's general fund budget. Dave Hunnicutt, executive director of Oregonians in Action, which defends the rights ofprivate property owners, focused on a single Nevada county: Humboldt. That county borders Oregon, and has much in common with several Eastern Oregon counties, Hunnicutt said. He cited statistics fiom a few years ago that compare — and more to the point, contrast — Humboldt County with Harney County in Oregon. At that time Harney County's unemployment rate was 12 percent, while Humboldt's was 4 percent. Harney County's average annual familyincome was

Oregon's problem isn't a lack of gold deposits that could potentially be mined profitably, said Mark Ferns, a retiredgeologistwh oworked for 31years in the Baker City officeof the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. Ferns said the most recent studiessuggestthatgold deposits formed by processes similar to those at Grassy Mountain could exist in a swath of Eastern Oregon stretching fiom Jordan Valley to near La Grande. And some of those deposits could be mined"without a drop of cyanide," Ferns said. Cliff Bentz told the audience that because the Democrats hold majorities in the Legislature

WOLVES Continued ~om Page1A In April, Russ Morgan, the state's wolf biologist, will present a plan to the Fish and Wildlife Commission to remove &om the state's endangered specieslistw olves eastofHighways 395, 78 and 95. A public process including a statusreview ofthe wolves'recovery will follow, with an anticipated decision by the commission at its June meeting. "The information on the breeding pairshad to bereleased,"Morgan said.

aWe will continue adding information as we gather it from a population standpoint." There are a total of seven confirmed breedingpairs statewide — the Rogue pack's breeding male is OR-7, a collared male who dispersed out of the Imnaha pack in 2011, and his mate, who has genetics &om Wallowa County, as well. Of nine known packs, the Imnaha pack is the only one without pups, Morgan said. One pup was documented in June, but wasn't seen during the winter count.

The Umatilla pack has yet to be surveyed, Morgan said. Wolf counts are conducted in the winter when they are grouped up. February is mating season and within a few weeks, wolf pairs will breed and pups will be born in April. Rob Klavins of Oregon Wild applauded the news of the breeding pairs. 'This is a positive step in the right direction," Klavins said.aWe are happy to cel ebrate a m ilestone. Wolf recovery has come a long way since we started out."

W1 Editorial from the Albany Democrat-Herald:

One thing's for certain about that legislative committee that's charged with developing the rules that will govern the use of recreational marijuana in Oregon: It has its work cut out for it. And the details will be just as important as the broad policy questions facing the panel, which is not officially called the "Joint Committee," but the fact of the matter is that everyone will call it that. It seems likely that the legislative panel (which includes among its members Rep. Andy Olson of Albany) will not just be dealing with recreational marijuana, now that Measure 91 has passed muster with Oregon voters, but also with a variety of attempts to address issues with the state's medical marijuana program. Olson told us this week that he expects more than a dozen bills dealing with medical marijuana. As it turns out, the dispensary model likely will be the starting point as the members of the panel work to build the system through which Oregon will regulate recreational marijuana. One of the tougher issues facing the committee could well be how to handle marijuana ediblesitems such as pot-infused candies and cookies. Those edibles have become a big issue in Colorado and Washington state, two states in which recreational marijuana is legal. In Colorado at least, the market for marijuana-infused food and drink has boomed, raising concerns that the edibles look too much like regular snacks. Some hospital oKcials in Colorado say they're treating growing numbers of children sickened by edible marijuana. And the trouble isn't limited to children. The Associated Press last week reported about a Sunriver incident in which a 37-year-old woman from Washington state overdosed on marijuana afI;er eating three marijuana candies shaped like raspberries. The candies, which had been bought in Washington by another woman, were in a plastic snap-top container with no packaging indicating their potency or how to use them. The officer who responded said he thought the woman had overdosed on heroin. Medics treated the woman on the scene, but she declined hospitalization. Considering all of that, we were reassured to learn that one of the leaders of the, ahem, joint committee sees a need to move slowly and carefully on the issue of edibles. Sen. Ginny Burdick of Portland told an AP reporter that she's not willing to allow the sale of marijuana edibles until regulators figure out how to control potency and keep them away from kids. That's been a tough case to crack in Colorado. Burdick's cautious approach makes sense: It's already apparent that this is a potential trouble spot, based on experiences in Colorado and Washington state — and now, here in Oregon. Let's be sure to take the time we need to minimize the risk that legal edibles will fall into the wrong hands.

e ssons earne inwoo s o A set of chisels I bought at a sale on the East Coast came home to me a few months ago after they were sent"out West"someplace to be properly sharpened. A dull chisel is a troubling thing. "Be careful," the guy at the knife place said."They are like razors." And he was right. The four I had sent away with scratches and chips in their bladescame back mirror sharp,sharp enough to shave hair from your arm without even a little push. When I was unpacking them, I found myself putting my thumb over the leadingedge ofeach ofthem as Ishifted them from the package to the spot in my workshop where they stand like cold steel soldiers waiting for a battle. I heard a voice:"That's how you carry a chisel!"

Why did I do that? Mr. Wray. Mr. Wray was the manual arts teacher at the Altoona, Pennsylvania, junior high school we visited once a week to be properly instructed in two important manual arts: basic woodworking and drafting. You were not a complete young man without those skills. Many viewed Mr. Wray as a beast because he had no patience with fools. He knew that a chisel could just as easily slice a finger off as it could shave a thin slice ofhardwood. Caution was the rule, and the thumb over the leading edge was the reminder. One wrongmove and you would get a genuine chisel cut to remember. Then Mr. Wray would paddle you with the walnut beating tool he made himself, complete with nickel-size holes that left

a good joint with that, then he would search for harder wood. If the worst thing happened and you could not make a good joint out of any of the common woods, he would bang a welts like red communion wafers on the couple of pieces ofblack walnut in front of you and tell you to chew on that for a back of your legs. You would not do that again. while. Then he would whack your butt. We need manual training again. I understand we have technical This was both informative and character building. schools and post-high school training schoolsand allkindsofotherplacesto And, obviously, important.

Bakerled 25-23 athalftime, then increased itslead to 45-29 entering the final quarter. The Bulldogs went on to win 61-46. "It was a nice bounce back game for us after losing to La Grande," said Baker coach Joel Richardson. aWe got off the bus really well. We had a lot of different guys playing different minutes and I thought we created pressure with our offense." Richardson said one reason he scrambled his lineup was the absence of starter Clay LeaMaster, who was ill. aWe got some nice play out of everybody," Richardson sald. Baker had some shooting problems against La Grande, but appearedtofi x them Monday. The Bulldogs were 21-of-45 from the field. aWe did a much better job of shooting the ball tonight," Richardson said. Logan Sand had the best shooting night.

I:edsannrove AldertsonsSafewavmerger NEW YORK iAPl — Supermarket chain Albertsons says U.S. regulators have approved its purchase of competitor Safeway Inc. The companies said Tuesday the deal has been cleared by the Federal Trade Commission and should close within five business days. Albertsons, which is privately held and part-owned by CerberusCapitalManagement, agreed tobuy Safeway in March for $7.64 billion in cash. The FTC said the sale would hurt consumers in 130 markets by reducing competition, and in December the companies said they would sell 168 stores in eight states. That list includes the Albertsons store in Baker City, which will be bought by Haggen, a grocery chain based in Bellingham, Washington. Baker City's Safeway store will remain.

W ASHINGTON, D. C.— The U.S. Forest Service on Tuesday released the final policy for managing snowmobile and other"over-snow" vehicle use on national forests and grasslands. As directed by court order, the policy requires that roads, trails and areas where over-snow vehicle use can occurbe specifi cally designated by localForestService mangers.

POLITICS, CLIMATE DOMINATE

The Associated Press

Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are reporting2014 was the hottest year on Earth since 1880, and the latest in a seriesofwarm years due to climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions. GeorgeTaylor,former director of the Oregon Climate Service at Oregon State University, isn't buying that last point. Taylor, who now heads a climate consulting firm in Corvallis, says human actions do affect the

atmosphere in a variety of ways. But not as much as natural functions, particularly conditions in the Pacific Ocean. "I'm not one who believes we can control the climate," Taylor said during a presentation at the 11th annual Cattlemen's Workshop Saturday in La Grande. "My belief is the future changes in carbon dioxide are likely to be m odest and manageable." Approximately400 ranchers attendedthe day-long workshop at the Blue Mountain Conference Center. Sponsors brought in speakers from across the countryfora seriesoftalkscovering everything from sustainability to politics and the weather.

Climate change certainly fits the bill, as drought across the West and Midwest has shriveled the U.S. cattle herd to its lowest totals since 1951. ''What we try to provide with this workshop is expertise our ranchers might not otherwise get," DelCurto said.aiTaylorl gives a perspective I think is actually gaining traction." Taylor is controversial for his views on global warming.

bodyis needed. Once on the payroll, the owner expects the employee to not just understand the joband perform the assigned tasks, but to do the assignments at the highest quality level without further coaching or evaluation. Do you have anyone like that at your company, or working directly for you? One difficult task of supervising is taking the time to do a performance appraisalwell. An annual raise or a bonus is simply not sufficient enough feedback for anyone. Neither is merely saying "keep up the good work," which means next to nothing, because there is no point of reference to the statement. No matter how often you say it. If you have even one employee, coaching can only take place by taking the time to have difficult, perhaps even fierce conversations. Taking the time to prepare for what many owners dread more than going to a doctor or missing an already paidfor vacation is the mark of a professional. Because, in the end, the more difficult conversation an owner has, the better the company they own becomes. Perhaps in your company theHR department has devised and provided a system toevaluate performance consisting of forms and processes for those who supervise employees. All well and good, but if the supervisordoesn'tperform the appraisal ,doesn'ttake the time to sit down to thoughtfully consider the employee as an asset to the organization, there is not much human resources can SeeKeller / Page 2B

KANSAS CITY, Mo.— Every 10th worker in America is eligible to retire this year or next. Depending on your work situation, that may not be a startling estimate. If you're in an organization that cut stafF more than that during the recession, or in aventure populated by young people, you might shrug off impending retirements. But in many organizations, the loss of experienced employees — presumably w orkplace survivorsbecause oftheir needed skills — could pack a punch. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that nearly 1 in 4 members of the U.S. labor force will soon be 55 years old or older. That's up from about 1 in 8 in 2002. The babyboom exodus from the workplace already has grabbed human resources officers' attention. Some boomers were downsized and haven't returned to work. Some left because of disability. Many others voluntarily are taking early or planned retirement because they are financially comfortable. When the bulk of the 76.4 million members of the baby boom generation were in their prime working years, 80 percentofthem participatedin the labor force. The labor bureau sees the boomers'participation rateplummeting to40 percent after age 55. Already, thepercentage ofretired baby boomers has nearly doubled just since 2010. At the same time, every member of the big"baby boom echo"the millennial generation — is now of working age. Is the boomers'"institutional memory" being passed along? Will their "mature experience" be missed? And is the boomers'well-regarded work ethic replicable? Some human resource officers are asking these questions and preparing answers. Others admit to being unprepared for the demographic change in their workforces. A new survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that one-third of organizations fear that the potential lossofolder-worker talent could be a problem for their industry or organization. "Definitely. We are concerned. We

have a lot oflong-term workers, a lot ofbaby boomers," said Jill Crutchfield, director ofhuman resources at North Kansas City Hospital, which employs about 3,000 workers. Crutchfield said the hospital was working diligently to ease boomers' departure by offering them part-time and job-changing options rather than losing them outright. It's also beefing up its recruitment and retention of younger workers, especially in its nursing core. "Maybe 10percent ofour staffis likely to retire in the next year or so, so it's a big topic of discussion," Crutchfield said."A lot of what we know comes from experience, so we worry a lot about the knowledge transfer." Formal and informal mentoring is encouraged, she said. But that's most effective ifboth older and younger workers can be kept on board. Employers around the country and in most professions have found that younger workers are more apt to change jobs frequently than boomers. For hiring, training and mentoring programs to becost-effectivetoorganizations,the millennials need to stay awhile. The human resource society's survey found that just one-fikh of organizations have done in-depth assessments about what the retirement of older workers means to them in terms of filling potential skills gaps. Only one-third of the survey respond-

ers said their organizations had taken specific steps to fill those gaps. One in 5 saidtheirorganizations had no strategies to transfer knowledge from older to younger workers. That's a problem that KCP&L is trying to avoid. Human resources director Kelly Murphy said the utility may be ahead of some organizations' planning because"we provide a criticalinfrastructure service. We have to look around the corner." Looking ahead means reaching down into the school systems to support science and technology education and programs,such asrobotics,thatwill excite young people about entering the industry. It means setting up programs for millennials at work and encouraging their participation in metro-wide organizationsthat trumpet the areaas a vibrantplacetowork 'Twenty percent of our workforce is eligible to retire in the next year or so," Murphy said.'The fact that they're retirement-eligible doesn't mean thegl walk out the door. Our turnover is less than that, and what actually happens is based partly on the economy." But the statistic itself demands attention. That's why results of the human resource society's survey surprised some practitioners who see that the challenge ofreplacing departing boomers goes beyond attracting and retaining younger workers.

Your supervisors do not want to performperformance appraisals because they do not want to be in the difficult position of having to criticize an employee. What they do instead is grumble all year long iand you have either heard the grumblings or made some yourself), all the while making comments to everyone elseabout performance that is not up to standard. The employee, meanwhile, believes that they aredoing an acceptablejob. The employee might well think that they are doing a fantasti cjob,because the lastoffi cialfeedback heard from anyone was alsor keep up the good work." How often do you walk around your company telling people the exact same thing? Keep up the good work is verbalized, but inside your head is pounding

It shouldn't be this way. Without having a fierce conversation, you will get increasinglyfrustrated by the lack of performance by the employee in question and the employee will wonder why you act like Jekyll and Hyde. Either the employee will change or they will leave your company. Either way you win. Put on your big boy or big girl pants and have the conversation.

He described what he called the "ghettoization" of American politics, where congressional districts are increasingly dominated by voters of one party. This forces politicians to lean farther rightor leftasthey attempt to get re-elected, eliminates the incentive to compromise on legislation and widens the gap between urban and rural interests.

Van Hoose did point to a few Democratic senators, including Ron Wyden, who have reached out to the farming and ranching communities. He is optimistic this will continue into the future. Though Van Hoose doesn't see many"deep-in-theweeds" agriculture legislation coming up, he said budget talks could have an effect on farmers and ranchers.

"First time, I think in my life, where I saw no vehicular traffic in Times Square besides sanitation trucks," said New York Police Department Chief James O'Neill, who visited the usually busy area at 3 a.m."I saw people having a snowball fight."

Ocean waves knocked out a seawall in Marshfield, Mass., flooding parts of town and damaging several homes. "Pretty much the entire coastline is demolished," resident Joanna Freed said in a phone interview.'We have about3feetofstandingwater on the Esplanade, where there's restaurants.
