Last week's arrests of 13 peopleon charges ofdealing or using methamphetamine did not come about because there has been a huge increase in the drug's prevalence in the community, law enforcement officials say.

Instead, it was more the resultoftherightpeople coming together at the right time to make the cases.

And it required patience, says District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff and Police Chief Wyn Lohner.

Work on the polishing project began Jan.20 and should befinished this week.

Yet afederalreportclaims thatthe percentage of Haines households with low or moderate incomes had dropped, and by a substantial margin, in just one year.

In 2013,according tothe American Community Survey, 55.5 percent of Haines households had low or moderate incomes. iTo qualify, a family of four must have an income of no

more than $42,950.l

In 2014that percentage dipped to 39.7 percent.

Russell might have dismissed this as a statistical anomaly except the ramifications are much too important to ignore.

Here's why: To qualify for federal Community Development Block Grants, a town must have at least51percent of its households earning low or moderate incomes.

At 55.5 percent, Haines qualified.

At 39.7 percent, the city no longer did.

Russell wasn't puzzled so much as she was incredulous.

'There's just no way," she said.

The potential lossof access to Block Grants is a major problem for Haines.

An almost four-year legal battle between Baker County and Columbia Basin Helicopters in Baker Valley has nearly ended.

After a two-day trial, county officials along with David McCarty, who owns Columbia Basin Helicopters iCBHl, are awaitrng a decision from Judge Ronald Pahl of Umatilla County.

Pahl will decide within six weeks whether to issue an injunction preventing McCarty from operating his business.

Pahlheard the case after Baker County Circuit Court Judge Greg Baxter recused himself.

The county alleges that McCarty's business — he useshelicoptersto spray seeds, fertilizersand other products on farms and ranches — violates zoning laws.

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 30, 1965 The Powder River crested about a foot above flood stage last night within inches of overflowing its banks before the waters began to recede, sparing the city of general flooding.

A forecast on the river was not available; however, city officials were checking the river today as the water level dropped to 5 feet10 inches, the level that is considered flood stage.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 30, 1990 Electricity was restored by 8 a.m. Monday to 150 people whose neighborhoods were hit by Sunday night's wind storm in parts of Baker City, Haines, Rock Creek and Wingville.

A combination of snow and wind tore down some power lines, with the winds bumping tree limbs into wires. Wind gusts reached 40 mph Sunday night, resulting in outages from 1-4 hours.

Sections of power lines along 11th and H streets in Baker City were damaged by wind gusts, said Jeff Durham of the Oregon Trail Electric Consumers' Cooperative.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 31, 2005 Baker County residents are taking out a tad less trash, but they're recycling a bit more of it.

Not quite enough to satisfy state regulators, however.

But the county, which recycled 21.8 percent of its garbage in 2003, the most recent year for which statistics are available, has until 2005 to hit the 25-percent target the Oregon Legislature set several years ago.

The county has surpassed its current target of 15 percent every year since 1994.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 31, 2014 The military honors awarded to Army Sgt. John Noble Holcorn, a Richland man who was killed in Vietnam on Dec. 3, 1968, at age 22, will be displayed at the Baker County Courthouse.

The roster of accolades includes America's highestthe Medal of Honor — which was bestowed on Holcomb posthumously.

He was anavid hunter and fi sherman and also taught his daughters how to be successful in fishing and included them on many hunting and fishing trips as a family.

' CITY'S FREEWAY INTERCHANGES MANAGING BAIt,ER

ODOlglansfor Exits302,30$ futures

Freeway interchange planning is ramping up again in Baker City.

About 10 people attended a public workshop at City Hall Thursday evening to hear ideas from the Oregon Department of Transportation

the planning process, but do it in a way that is reflective of the comments and changes that have occurred out there," Hughart said.

He said the primary purposeoftheplan isto protect the function and safety of

the interchanges. Having the plan in place will help to ensure that development in the interchange areas will allow safe access to the exits and on-ramps.

"A lot ofpeople have propertyand vested interests and rights. They don't want to seethatrestricted,"Hughart sald.

The construction of signals, drivewayrelocation and road widening are all considerations that are taken into account as businesses move into the area in the future.

Stations at Thursday's workshop displayed maps showing that the 302 interchange area had the most trafllc volume changes for the long term. Trafllc from Best Frontage Road heading west across the freeway to Cedar Street had the most increase in proje cted congestion.

A previous plan developed in 2004 was not formally adopted by the city or the county.

The workshop's purpose was to provide information to the public and people who own land near the 302 and 306 interchanges about the plan and how it might affect future road development changes there.

Matt Hughart, with Kittellson and Associates — a transportation and planning firm contracted by ODOT to develop the new plan — said ODOT is kickstarting and revisiting the plan.

Continued from Page1A "It's having the right opportunity to bring people together and some fresh information and running with it," Lohner said.eWe received information that gave us an open door to start working and we went through it with everything we could."

The success of the investigation did not come without a cost, however. A reduction in the number of officers dedicatedto druginvestigations has left the city police more dependent on its overtime budget. ''We had four people working overtime on this," Lohner said."And the Sherif's 0$ce had one of their folks with us every step of the way, which was a tremendous help."

Oregon State Police patrol officers also helped where they could, but cutbacks have left the Baker City OSP office with limited stafllng for drug investigations, Lohner said. ''When we get information, we will continue to make arrests, "Lohner said."Itdoes come ata cost,butsodoes drug use in our community and victimization in our community."

The help of an informant is essential in putting together search warrants to support drug arrests, Lohner and Shirtcliff said.

Police must have confidence they will find drugs when they apply for a warrant. ''We have to be able to

She has some safety concerns about the off-ramp from the north onto Cedar Street and the stop sign there.

'There's a visual sight problem coming from the Interpretive Center and sometimespeopledon'tstop at the stop sign coming off the freeway," she said.

She suggested ODOT lower the speed limit on Highway 86 in the area.

ODOT Project Manager Patrick Knight said that was a tricky area, as is the Hughes Lane/Cedar Street intersection.

"It's a weird intersection.

Probably from the interchange area to there, there will be some new things to come up," Knight said.

Baker City/County Planner Holly Kerns explained the process from the city's perspective.

prove that it is more likely than not that drugs are going to be there when you search," Shirtcliff said.

It's not enough to hear from neighbors that they see unusual activity at a particular house. Police do, however, take note of such information and check it out. eWe tryto develop information," Shirtcliff said."It takestime todevelop these cases. That's why working with these informants is so important.

"It can be frustrating," Shirtcliff said.e You do the best you can to work with what you have and get as much information as you can to get a warrant."

And while the district attorney and the police chief can't point to statistics that attributelastweek'sarrests to an increase in meth use locally, Shirtcliffbelieves there has been some increase over the last six months to a year.

"In the last six months we've had a noticeable increase in dependency cases where kids are having to be removed from homes that have beenmeth-related,"he said.'That's abarometer for me."

Shirtcliff won't say there has been a huge increase, but he has noticed an uptick in

the number of families in courtbecause ofdrug-related concerns. eWe've had several drugaffected babies in the last year that tested positive in the hospital ifor meth)," Shirtcliff said.

"That's why we want to keep it offthe streets, keep kids healthy and in their homes and get Sh i rtcliff moms clean so they can parent," he said.

In addition to getting drug users into treatment, ShirtclifFsaid he aims to send drug trafflckers to prison whenever possible.

High-profile arrests such as last week's roundup, put those in the drug culture on notice, Lohner and Shirtcliff believe.

"It lets people know we don't have our heads buried in the sand," Lohner said. eWe see an opportunity and we're going to take it."

The goal is to keep drug dealers on edge about when they might be selling to someone who is working with police. eWe want to create an en-

'There's a number of opportunities. It's zoned for industrial and commercial use. It would be really exciting economicallyto see some ofthatarea develop."

Baker County Commission Chairman Bill Harvey had concerns about when the plan would be completed and if the public would have more opportunity to comment before it was finalized.

Hughart said his firm wanted to have a draft plan in place by the end of June or the beginning of July.

Foster said there will be another open house sometime in April. Next week, his firm will have a web page available at http J%ites.kittelson. com/BakerCityIAMPs where the public can comment online.

vironment that is conducive to not being in Baker County," Shirtcliff said."People know in the drug world when cases are made and they don't like the exposure."

OSP Sgt. Ty Duby, who is assigned to the patrol division,is aformer detective who started work on Baker County's drug task force when it was fully staffed in

2003.

He agrees that it's vital to let drug users and dealers know that they cannot expect to operate in this community without fear.

"Nobody had worked dope full time," Duby said of his early experience on the task force.eThere was a ton of dope in town. eWe worked hard, made lots of cases, kicked lots of doors. It makes an impact," he said.

Duby commended the city and county for their efforts to stop drug trafllcking, adding that he and his officers were happy to provide what limited help and advice they could. eWe're still trying," he said. eWe do the best we can."

Duby said it's hard to gauge the availability of methamphetamine in Baker County.

2006 when a law took effect requiring a prescription to purchase pseudoephedrine.

That cold and allergy medicine is an ingredient used to make meth.

A report released Tuesday by the HIDTA iHigh Intensity Drug Trafficking Areal stated that the number of "large-scale methamphetamine-based clandestine laboratories seized throughoutthe state"dropped from a record591 in 2001 tojust13 in 2014.

"It'sa lotlesswork forus," Duby said of the near elimination of the small drug labs that had operated in Baker County.

Nowadays, most methamphetamine is produced by the Mexican drug cartel, which then smuggles it into the United States to areas with high Hispanic populations, Duby said.

In the Northwest, the drugs go to the Yakima and Tri-Cities, Washington, areas and to Hermiston where it is then distributed to communities such as Baker City.

The Mexicangovernment has joined the effort to make pseudoephedrine harder to acquire in an effort to control the meth trade in that country, Duby said. As a result, China has become the world' schiefsupplier of pseudoephedrine.

Nor is meth the only challenge for police.

THE DECLINE OF METH LABS Police say a 2006 Oregon law requiring a prescription to buy pseudoephedrine, an ingredient in manufacturing meth, is a key reason for the decline in meth labs in the state.

Statistics released Tuesday by the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area tell the tale. The number of meth labs seized by police:

• 2001: 591 • 2014: 13 to legalize recreational use of marijuana — that takes effect July 1 — will bring its own set of issues to law enforcement, Duby believes.

Although not allowed under Oregon's new marijuana law, butane hash oil

iBHOl labs used to distill THC itetrahydrocannabinoll from marijuana to produce concentrated hash oil or "wax" through a butane fluid extraction process are becoming more common, Duby said.

Meth labs aren't exploding in motel rooms anymoreinstead, butane hash oil labs are blowing up, he said.

EDITORIAL

o news: oo or eve One The return of wolves to Oregon over the past several years has been a polarizing issue, with a pro-wolf camp, an anti-wolf camp, and little room between for the ambivalent to pitch their tents.

But the latest wolf news gives people on both sides of the debate reasons to, if not celebrate, then at least

applaud politely.

Now that biologists have confirmed at least seven pairs of wolves have produced pups — and at least four pairs have done so for three straight years in Northeastern Oregon — the state has moved from Phase 1 to Phase 2 in its wolf management plan.

Wolf fans, of course, have to be pleased.

In less than a decade Oregon's wolf population has risen from an oKcial count of zero, to nine separate packs totaling several dozen animals.

Moreover, wolves have spread from the northeast corner, with the newest pack living in the southern Cascades.

On the other hand, for ranchers and others who see the wolf as one more predator with a taste for beef or mutton, the growing wolf population potentially threatens their livelihood.

Fortunately, Oregon's wolf plan acknowledges that wolves will attack and kill cattle and sheep, and the plan contains provisions that give livestock owners reasonable authority to protect their animals as the wolf population grows.

Under Phase 2, livestock owners living in Oregon

east of the line formed by Kghways 395, 78 and 95 — the area where wolves are not a federally protected species — can now kill a wolf that is attacking or chasing their livestock.

Under Phase 1, livestock owners needed to obtain a permit before trying to kill a wolf, even one that was attacking livestock.

Ranchers point out, and rightly so, that it's not likely they'll catch a wolf attacking their livestock.

But it's even less probable that a hungry wolf would wait for a rancher to drive into town and try to rustle up a permit.

w on er I was in a motel room in Meridian, Idaho, when I got the word that my brother-in-law, Bill Pennick, had been taken to the hospital after his heartstopped.

Bill died a couple days later, on Jan. 20, at Salem Memorial Hospital.

He was 41.

It seems to me not only tragic, but also ridiculous that a man who never smoked and was active and otherwise healthy should die at thatagefrom a heartproblem.

Bill and my sister, Julie, who's a year and 11 days younger than I am, would have celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on June 17.

They havefour kids:Madel ine, 18; Jack, 16, Jonathan, 10, and Sarah, 5.

The awful news came to me the way so much else does these days — a text message from my brother, Michael.

This bothers me.

I was grateful, of course, that my family could alert me even though we had had to stay an extra night in the Boise area, stranded with thousands of other travelers by the trafic smash up on I-84 at Pleasant

u erBow: T est esare Super Bowl XLIXis upon us, and millions ofAmericans will be cheering on the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Fans have been waiting all season to see their teams reach the big game and the stakes are high in more ways thanone.

This bothered me because Bill was a true gentleman, in the oldfashioned, pre-wifi sense.

Maybe gentlemen aren't quite so rare asIbelievethem tobein our era, when masculinity seems too often to be defined by the coarse rather than the gentle, by the cutthroat rather than the selfless.

But I'm certain that there is no surplus of such people, and that society suffers when we lose even one, and worse still when that loss happens many decades too soon.

Bill was the sort of guy parents hope their daughter marries.

Or that brothers hope their sister marries.

I was lucky that way.

I never wondered whether Julie was stuck in a bad marriage, never worried that my nieces and nephews lacked that nurturing mixture of wisdom, love and laughter that a devotedfather provides.

OREGON LEGISLATURE CONVENES MONDAY FOR 2015 SESSION

WesCom News Service

SALEM — Oregon's legislative leaders on Tuesday showed there are plenty of issues they should easily agree on in 2015. But when talking about raising the gas tax to help fund transportationprojectsand creating permanent clean fuels requirements, dark clouds emerged.

Speaking at a legislative panel hosted by The Associated Press, House and Senate leaders &om both partiesagreed thestate'sprimary focus is improving the education system.

They agree some Oregon forests that are choked with fire fuels should be cleaned up and partially logged to improve forest health. They agree there should be bipartisanship this session when it comes to improving rural economies.

But there are issues that could put vital legislation in doubt after the Legislature convenes Monday.

The state needs more money for its roads.About aquarterofitstransportation funding comes &om the federal government through a line that nearly dried up last year and has become inconsistent nationwide.

Gas taxes are also becoming an inconsistent revenue source as cars become more fuel-efficient.

The Legislature needs to pass a transportation package, Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, says, because if the question falls to voters through a ballot measure, they11 likely vote it down.

Stopping just shy of saying they

— Sen. Ted Femoli, R John Day

would work to block a transportation plan, Republicans said making low-carbon standards permanent is a "hidden gas tax" that would disproportionately affect rural Oregon. The issue tees up what could be a big fight before the Legislature.

"Oregonians are going to be asked to pay real money for what is essentially a symbolic contribution to the issue of global warming," said Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day. "I'm not saying these issues are linked.

I'm just saying you can't have everything you want."

Senate and House Democrats worked toseparate the transportation package &om the state's goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions from fuels by 10percent overa decade; the goalissetto sunsetatthe end of this year.

The Legislature will consider removing the sunset and allowing the Department of Environmental Quality to implement the standards. ''We're going to run that bill. Let the chips fall where they will," Courtney said."To vote no on carbon fuels is one thing. But I was surprised to hear it was connected to the transportation"

House Majority Leader Val Hoyle, D-Eugene, said Democrats ran campaigns, and won, in part on lowering the state's carbon output. She also said the carbon standards and the transportationpackage are separate issues.

The caucuses said it was too soon to focus on potential rough patches before the session starts. They also agreed on a range of potential legislation.

A bill switching the responsibilities &om Cover Oregon to other agencies will move early in the session, said House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland.

McLane said a $50 million proposal &om Gov. John Kitzhaber for rural Oregon water projects and any legislation that would promote creating jobs by thinning forests that are choked with wildfire fuel should find bipartisan support.

"I totally agree," Kotek said, "bipartisan supportforthoseissues."

Will Katy outdo Bruno? re femalefans eager to hear Katy Perry roar at the Super Bowl? That could be the case, if data from online ticket seller Stubhub is any indication.

Fifty-six percent of tickets for Perry concerts in 2014 were bought by females, the EBay-owned ticketing company says. TV viewership of her scheduled halftime performance could skew similarly, as the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots on Feb 1.

Stubhub also said Seahawks fans are more interested in Perry than Patriots fans are, noting that people in Seattle bought more Katy Perry concert tickets last year than people in New England did.

However, neither teams' hometown ranked in the top five regions for Perry ticket sales. Her top three cities were Dallas, Atlanta and Super Bowl host city Phoenix.

Beyonce, who performed at the Super Bowl in 2013, was Stubhub's top female artist in 2014.

Based on the website's sales per concert, Bruno Mars, last year' s halftime act, was more popular than Perry in 2014. Beyonce topped them both.

In terms of TV viewership, Perry will have to put up some big numbers to top either Mars or Beyonce.

Last year' s 14-minute performance

by Mars, who was joined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, drew a record 115.3 million viewers. Beyonce brought in I 10.8 mtllton the year before.

Seahawks' rise began Patriots forced to deal with win over Patriots with distraction t all started against the Patriots.

All the winning. All the bluster. All the unbearably positive attitudes about comebacks and the intolerably chirpy cornerbacks. Everything we now associate with the Seahawks, the defending champions of the NFL, began on Oct. 14, 2012.

That's the day the mavericks from the Northwest, a team that had been built quietly in the upper left-hand corner of America' s closet, came of age. It' s the day they made their presence felt throughout the league. It' s the day they arrived.

The Seahawks again will play the Patriots, this time in Super Bowl XLIX, looking to become the first team in a decade to repeat as champions and stake their claim to dynastic excellence.

Less than 2 I/2 years ago, though, they still were the team with the funky day-glow uniforms whose biggest win had come in one of the league's lowest moments, the Fail Mary pass that beat the Packers with some help from replacement officials just several weeks before that.

But when they capped that 24-23 win over the Patriots on that day at CenturyLink Field, it thundered an ascension that continues to reverberate.

"Everybody was into it," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said recently, reflecting on the last meeting between the two teams. "It was a huge game. It felt like a championship game against a great team."

It set a tone for everything this week. It propelled Richard Sherman into the national spotlight thanks to his cheeky "U mad bro?" tweets at Tom Brady after the game. It validated Carroll's decision to put the franchise in the hands of a rookie quarterback the team selected in the third «ypu tre Seelng round of the previous spring's draft. It grpWth Ypu're Seeshowed the Seahawks that they were capable of shaking off a deficit, a minding What rnake set that certainly came in handy last week against the Packers.

It proved that they could go facemaskathlete, What to-facemask with the NFL's top franchise for most of the last decade and great player, why come away with a victory.

"I truly think that was one of the bigp ul team Went aftel gest games for me Personally," Russell hlm and Wh he S Wilson said. "That was a huge come-

b ack for us. I think that was kind of the

P u l S t a l t l Ag q u a r t e l -

momentum-starter for the past three back." years really, to be honest with you."

—R Richard h d shhe r m an This was The Beatles on Sullivan, announcing that a new generation with a new way of thinking was ready to take over.

"I was a rookie," linebacker Bobby Wagner recalled of the 2012 game. "I watched Tom Brady before I got into the league, and to beat him in your home stadium was fun."

The transformation actually began a week earlier. The Seahawks had beaten the Panthers in Carolina, but they still were muddling along.

Wilson decided it was time to speak with his coach.

"I do remember going to coach Carroll' s office and talking to him and in the conversation telling him: 'Let me go, I'm ready to go,' Wilson said. "He completelyagreed. 'OK, I'm going to let you go.'

I'm better when I can just play ball, I think. I'm not a close-minded person, so I just want to have it all on my plate and just go for it ...

That was something that went in to that week, we talked about it, and sure enough, we went for it and found a way to win."

Wilson completed touchdown passes to Braylon Edwards and Sidney Rice in the final 7:31 of the game to erase a 23-10 deficit. The game-winning touchdown came with I:18 remaining.

"You're seeing his growth," Sherman said of Wilson after that game.

"You're seeing what makes him such a great athlete, what makes him such agreat player, why our team went after him and why he's our starting quarterback."

There were other wins that helped establish the Seahawks as contenders and eventually as champions. In 2012, they also beat the Bears in what Carroll said was the turning point for Wilson. They beat Washington and Rookie of the Year Robert Griffin III in the playoffs before losing to the Falcons, which is the last time they dropped a postseason game.

"It takes a while to earn your stripes, and even in three years' time, that's a lot to ask," Carroll said of Wilson's evolution during the 840 days between that Week 6 showdown in 2012 and the upcoming Super Bowl. "He's grown up with these guys, he's one of the younger guys.

It just takes time."

A lot of things changed since that day. Not one of the players who caught a touchdown pass for either team is competing in this Super Bowl. The Patriots' title drought has continued while the Seahawks have brought a title to Seattle. The expectations and the potential of the Seahawks have grown exponentially. They no longer are trying to make a statement that they belong. They' ve already proved that.

Wilson said the thing that has been locked in place from that moment forward has been his and the team's thinking. "Just find a way to win, I think that was our mind-set," he said.

As it has been since.

— Tom Rock, Newsday "

here are Super Bowl distractions. And then there is "Deflategate. " As the Patriots prepare to make the trip to the Phoenix area for Super Bowl XLIX against the Seahawks, they're about to wade into a hype week unlike any other.

Many teams deal with pregame distractions in the days leading up to the game, but there hasn't been this much controversy this early involving a Super Bowl team.

Even when the Patriots faced the Giants in Super Bowl XLII in the same University of Phoenix Stadium after the 2007 season, it was more than four months removed from the start of the "Spygate" scandal. The Patriots also were involved in that brouhaha, which started when the Jets caught them illegally videotaping the team's defensive signals on the sideline.

This one is bigger, mostly because it happened so close to the game.

The Patriots are under investigation to see if they purposely deflated 11 of 12 footballs used in the first half of their 45-7 win over the Colts in the AFC Championship Game.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick has had two separate news briefings on the matter and Tom Brady had his own news conference to address the allegations. Both vigorously deny any foul play, but the controversy has bubbled over into just about every level of society. It hasn't been easy for the players to tune it out and get ready to play the biggest game of their lives.

"Here we are with the biggest game of our career, and that's what it's about," said veteran defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, who played in the Super Bowl seven years ago in a I 7- 14 loss to the Giants. abput gpl ng "It's about going out and being able to

Out and being abl e

tp piay a garne fOr and be in th e

Super BOWl. That S

(g/e'ye) gpt tp be all dlStl aCtlpnS

pl ay a game you work so hard for and be in the Super Bowl. That's what it's about. (We've) got to be able to eliminate all distractions right now, and I'm

pret t y sure we'll have more distractions.

But at the same time, I think we've done a great job around here all year of just being so focused on our opponents and what we have to do to win a ballgame.

"That's where I'm at right now, so nothing different for me. (We re) facing

a go o d football team, so we have to do

e~erything we can to be able to play well against them this game."

Wilfork is one of the veterans the Patriots will rely on to help shepherd them through the gantlet of Super Bowl week, which involves several hours of interviews with thousands of reporters.

Even though Brady is at the center of the controversy, he has told his teammates to do their best to focus on football, not underinflated footballs. During a team meeting earlier in the week, Brady told the players to pay more attention to Belichick's mantra this season: Do your job.

"He stood up and spoke and just said, 'This is a distraction and we just need to keep focus as a team. We have a big game to play.'

"And that's something he wouldn' t do," cornerback Darrelle Revis said, referring to the possibility that Brady purposely deflated the footballs. "He wouldn' t break any rules. It was basically just to clear the smoke. He stood up, shared a couple words with us, and guys moved on. " Any worry about distractions, though?

"It can be a distraction and it could bother us during the whole Super Bowl experience," Revis said. "So definitely it shows a lot of character in him to come up there, stand up and speak to the whole team."

Despite the controversy, the players are unanimous in their support of Brady.

"No matter what the situation is — whether it be on the field or off the field — this team has a lot of trust in Tom," safety Devin McCourty said. "Honestly, I don't think anyone in this locker room is worried about it. We know next Sunday we're going to get the best No. 12 that we' ve gotten all year. That' s how he prepares, and like I always say, he sets an example for preparing. So our goal is just to be ready for next Sunday."

Offensive lineman Dan Connolly said the Patriots are used to being in the spotlight, so this doesn't necessarily feel that much different.

"There's always noise," he said. "Throughout the season, there's always something that can draw your attention away from the game.

So it's nothing new. It's something we always have to try to focus on the task at hand and just focusing on the game. We'll just keep doing what we're doing and just focus on our job."

Wilfork thinks the enormity of the game itself will carry the team through what could be a trying week of attention focused on the controversy or the criticism aimed at Brady.

"It' s not our first rodeo. The only thing we should be focused on is the Seattle Seahawks, and he closer and closer we get to the game, the better and better we should start feeling about the game. " — Bob Glauber, Newsday

No leSronP Nonrodlemas Irving leads Cavsnast Slaiers

By Tom Withers AP Sports VVRter

CLEVELAND — Kyrie Irving clapped his hands as he walked to the middle of the locker room, unaware of the surprise his teammates had in store for him.

As Irving tmtucked his jersey, LeBron James and the rest of the

•000

Cavaliers crowded around the star point guard before dousing him with bottles of water and some ice.

All of the Cavs then danced wildly in a circle.

Historydeserved a celebration.

Irving scored a career-high 55 points, the most in the NBA this season and a Quicken Loans Arena

record, on Wednesday night as the Cavs won their eighth straight, 9994 over the Portland Trail Blazers despite playing without an injured James.

With James sidelined with a sprained right wrist, Irving made a team record 11 3-pointers, all 10 ofhis &ee throws and dropped a

•000

go-ahead jumper with 6.4 seconds left that, to this point, is his defining moment as a pro. There are sure to be others to come.

After the Trail Blazers tied it 94all on two &ee throws by LaMarcus Aldridge with 27.6 seconds togo, the Cavs called a timeout to set up a play. There was only one choice:

Give the ball to Irving.

Dribbling on the right side, Irving patiently walked the ball toward Portland's Nicolas Batum, stepped back and drained his 11th 3-pointer.

As he walked slowly toward halfcourt, James rushed onto the floor, jumped and greeted Irving with a chest bump.

The Geiser, which was built in 1889, did have a stained glass ceiling in its heyday, but it was long gone by the time the Sidways boughtthe hotelin 199330 days before it would have been torn down and turned into a parking lot.

In her research, Sidway found mention of the "beautifulstained glassatthe Geiser Grand."

"But there are no pictures of the original," she said.

For inspiration, she sought out stained glass ceilings from theera of1889.

"I did travel the country," she said.

A firm in Boise designed a pattern, which had to be approvedby the State Historic Preservation Offrce and the National Park Service in Washington, D.C. "Stained glass artiststhere are only a few left in the world," Sidway said.

It took a few diferent tries at thedesign beforeitgained approval.

However, when the finished pieces arrived, the installers said the ceiling was too high for them to work on.

Fortunately, the hotel's chefvolunteered forthejob, which involved being lifted from the first floor up to the high ceiling.

The current approach brought a sturdy platform closer to the ceiling, and Sidway said they will most likely store it for future use.

In 2013the city received a $618,000 Block Grant to design the improvements, which will include digging a well, building a storage tank and replacing many of the water distribution mains, she said.

But Haines is also counting on Block Grants to help pay the estimated $5 million for the actual work, Russell said.

Haines isn't the only small town in the region facing a similar predicament, said Nick Ducote, who works for JUB Engineers in La Grande, which does contract work for Haines.

Seven other cities — Richland, North Powder, Wallowa, Mount Vernon, Seneca, Boardman and Milton-Freewater — also went from being eligible for Block Grants in 2013 to ineligible in 2014 because their percentage of households with low or moderate incomes fell below the 51-percent threshold.

Ducote, like Russell, was skeptical.

For one thing, Ducote said, those eight

•000

cities had theirratesoflow and moderate income households drop by a range of 5.3 percent lMilton-Freewaterl to 22.1 percent

lWallowal.

Yettheaverage change for allOregon cities was just 3 percent, Ducote said.

A few much larger cities, including Bend and Corvallis, actually went from being ineligible for Block Grants to being eligible.

"Backwards," is how Russell describes the situation.

Fortunately, she said, a fix seems to be in order.

Russell said federal officials agreed to allow Haines and other cities that are no longer eligible for Block Grants to do their own household income surveys, and the federal government will pay half the cost for the surveys.

Russell said she's confident that Haines' survey will show that at least 51 percent of the city's households have low or moderate incomes, making the city eligible for the grants.

Russell said itappearsthatthe 2014 statistic for Haines was based on a small number of households being sampled — 43 of Haines' 136 households.

From grass turf to the video stream inside your home, Comcast Corp. will have a hand in Super Bowl XLIX between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.

'Top-to-bottom,it's really a Comcast event," John Page, president of Comcast-contmlled Global Spectrtmt, said of the Feb. 1NFL championship.

GlobalSpectrum, part of Comcast-Spectacor and based in Philadelphia, manages the state-of-the-art University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., where 12,000 people are expected to work on game day — opening the gates for fans, shuttling the Katy Perry halftime show on and off the gridiron stage in the allotted time, and managing security.

The Comcast-owned NBCTV network will broadcast the game for an audience that could top 100 million — and 20 million subscribers can watch it on Comcast cable-TV and Internet network.

The company also will use the popularity of the game to promote the TV Everywhere platform — that is, watching the game on laptops, desktopsor tabletsaway from the television. With "Super Stream Sunday," NBC will make the streamed game and related Super Bowl shows available for free and without authentication.

The Fish of a thousand casts — but • Forest's recreation planner says no change to snowmobile rules planned when policy takes efect

By Jayson Jacoby WesCom News Service

Due to the miracle of modern technology I'm writing this column fiom the back of a truck bed in a sleeping bag beneath a crescent moon with just over a trillion stars in the night sky. Maybe it is a matter of getting a little stir crazy during January. Maybe it is because the weather feels more like the end of February. But this is the second weekend in a row I'm spending the night camped out next to a steelhead river and I couldn't

The Forest Service's new policy requiring national forests to designate where snowmobiles can go won't have any immediate effect on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

Forest oScials will not make any changes to the WallowaWhitman's snowmobile rules when the new policy takes effect Feb. 27, said Dan Ermovick, the forest' srecreation planner.

be happier.

nwe'll be taking this winter

and springtodigestthisrule," Ermovick said Thursday.

The Forest Service announced the policy Tuesday.

Previously, national forest supervisors were not required to specify where snowmobiles and other over-snow motorized vehicles can travel.

The new policy requires each nationalforestto designate roads, trails and areas where such vehicles are allowed.

The Wallowa-Whitman does not have a forest-wide snowmobile policy, Ermovick said.

Snowmobiles and other motorizedvehicles are prohibited in wilderness areas, city watersheds, and part of the Anthony Lakes basin during the ski season.

Snowmobiles also are prohibited on some roads during certain hunting seasons, and in some areas they are allowed only when the snow depth is at leastone foot.

A complete list of restrictions on snowmobiles and other motor vehicles is available on the Wallowa-Whitman's website at: http://www fs.usda.gov/detaiVwallowa-whitman/alertsnotices/?c id=stelprdb5434836 Ermovick said most snowmobilers on the Wallowa-Whitman ply the roughly 1,000-mile network of trails — most of them on forest roads — that are groomed by the several snow-

TheWallowa-Whitman National Forest has about 1,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trails. mobile clubs in the region.

The Forest Service policy was prompted by a lawsuit filed by an Idaho backcountry skiing group, Winter Wildlands Alliance. The group complained that the Forest Service exempted snowmobiles from the 2005 Travel Management Plan rule, which requires all nationalforeststo designate where wheeled motor vehicles can travel.

In 2013 a federal judge in Boise ruled that the Forest Service should have included

snowmobiles in that rule.

'You can't have both uses in the same area and allow for each user to get the experience they're looking for" said Mark M enlove, executivedirectorof Winter Wildlands Alliance. He saidthatbesides carving up slopes, the machines are loud and emit exhaust.

The new policy requires forests to publish over-snow vehicle maps using existing designations or maps to be worked out through a public process.

Chad Sluder, president of the

Sawtooth Snowmobile Club based in the central Idaho town of Bellevue, said his club of 75 members would take an active partinthatprocess. nwe don't want to lose any more ground, and if it comes to that we will fight it to the end," Sluder said."It's the ongoing battle between the skiersand snowmobilers. They don't want us there and we have every right to be there."

A few yards away, beyond the ponderosa, I can hear the riSe, whose peace and quiet only an hour or two earlier was broken by a chrome steelhead zipping around on the end of my line, leaping toward the gloam of dusk. In the morning, even before I put the coffee on, I plan to wake up and go stand out there again and give it another try. But for now I can hear it, the constant reminder of potential, singing in the darkness, the same song that will wake me up at dawn to go fishing again to catch the fish of a thousand casts.

Perhaps calling steelhead "the fish of a thousandcasts"givesafairly accurate picture of what steelheading, especially in the middle of winter, can be like.

Spans of weeks when the fish just aren't around.

Cold weeks.

Dark weeks.

Weeks standing in the river for days and days, breaking ice out of the rod guides, only to wait for a few days and then go do it again.

Olfseason weeks, with only the occasional white fish, dolly, and sucker to keep one company, can seem endless.

Luckily this entire fall and winter have been atypical. Minus a few weeks ofcold snaps,our localrivershaveremained &ee of ice with good winter flows and steelhead moving into our river systems. Taking advantage of this incredible winter weather by camping out just seems right. With darkness arriving so early it gives one extra time to sit around a campfire with buddies, to ponder some of the deeper meanings oflife, or think about the sayings of our sport

OREGON LEGISLATURE'S 2015 SESSION BEGINS MONDAY

By Taylor W. Anderson WesCom News Service

When it comes to drones, Oregon lawmakers are already considering passing measures that would catalyze a burgeoning industry in Central Oregon

and theColumbia Gorge.

Add to that a bill by Rep. Brad Witt, D-Clatskanie, that would prohibit drones for hunting andfi shing and put Oregon in line with other states that have alreadypassed similar

legislation.

Witt has proposed House Bill 2534, which would direct the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to adopt rules that would prohibit drone use "for the purposes of angling, hunt-

ing, harassing or tracking as an aid to angling or hunting."

The bill would likewise prohibit using drones to interfere with hunters and anglers.

INTERACTIVE MAP FOR ANGLERS WITH DISABILITIES

TO-DO LIST

FLY-TYING CORNER

CLACKAMAS -A new tool to help anglers with disabilities find fishing sites with good access across Oregon went online this week.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife today unveiled a Google-based map that highlights133 sites across Oregon that may be suitable for anglers with physical disabilities. This is the latest in a suite of interactive maps designed to help anglers find places to fish.

When users click on the map's icons they launch information boxes that include accessibility information about the sites such as fishing platforms, piers, docks, paths, restrooms and parking. Anglers can also use the maps to generate directions from their location to any of the sites.

"There are many places around Oregon that offer excellent fishing opportunities for people with disabilities," said Rick Hargrave, Administrator for Fish and Wildlife's Information and Education Division."We hope this map makes it easier for everyone — from the oldest adult to the youngest child and everyone in between, to get out and fish."

Many of the popular fishing locations across the state are already accessible to anglers with disabilities; the new map is a guide to these areas.

Hargrave said that accessibility varies, and some sites may not be suitable for all levels of disability. The new map can be accessed by visiting the ODFW website at www. odfw.comand clicking on Mapspage oronWhere and How page.

One of my favorite still-water stalking flies is the Brown Hackle.

Sometimes I tie it with a bit of red duck quill for a tail, in which case it could be called a RedTag. The Favourite de Carrere strikes a balance.

Take this Frenchy north to Alaska for grayling, pack it in a fly box in the Ryan Brennecke/Wescom News Service saddlebag for Wallowa trout or use F avourite de Carrere, tied by it in the reeds on a Central Oregon Q u i ntin McCoy. lake.

This pattern, in my mind, is best employed when trout are feeding close to the bank. Use a floating line and a fluorocarbon leader. Put on your glare glasses and cast to cruising trout or fish that are nose-in to the reeds.

Tie this pattern on a No. 10-14 long curved hook. Use red silk floss for the tag, then build the body with peacock herl. Finish with a soft brown hackle..

By Gary Lewis For WesCom News Sertrice

January, February and March constitute what we outdoor types call show season. My favorite is the Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade Show, which is an industryonly event that, a few years ago, migrated to Las Vegas and never left.

We get our most comfortable shoes and walk miles of aisles, and try to find what is new and cool and what is hot from SHOT. It starts with media dayattherange.

One thing a person with a bit of history in the industry notices is girls. Serious girls with guns. Females with fusils. Women with weapons in target-shooti ng,self-defense, hunting, law enforcement and the military.

According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, more than half of women i55.6percent)who participated in a recent study said they intend to purchase at least one firearm in the next 12 months. The study, conducted in 2014, focused on women ages 18 to 65 who owned at least one firearm. More than a third of the women in the study were new gun owners.

One of the first people I spied at the range was the lovely Betsy Spomer, who was with her husband, Ron. He whipped out his iPhone and showed me his new app: Everything Whitetail. First, I was surprised Spomer had a smartphone, much less his own app. But that's why we go to SHOT Show, to be surprised.

Itwould surprise Spomer to know I purchased his app at the special low

price of $4.99.

A steelhead tail — the holy grail of the angler.

WINTER Continued from Page1C A reel expert can tackle anything. A fisherman is a jerk on one end of the line waiting for a jerk on the other. And, of course, steelhead,orwild steelhead, are afish ofa thousand casts.

While I've tried to find out who first came up with that saying, I haven't been able to. If it was meant to originally describe the relationship between fisherman and steelheadorsome other similarly difficult to catch fish like muskie, I'm unsure.

But what I do know is that sometimes steelhead

are a fish of just a few casts. And that occasionally hours, days, and weeks can go by under the wrong conditions without catching a single steelhead and it can get down right melancholy.

Speaking of which, it once took me a span of more than 15 years between steelhead to catch another one. But that is another story altogether and seeing as how there has been a distinct lack of melancholy this winter thanks to great returning runs ofhatchery and wild steelhead iruns of which should only get better as we approach March and April) I'll see you on the river.

Some Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep from the Lookout Mountain herd — this photo was taken along the Connor Creek Road about15 miles north of Huntington — will be moved, possibly starting next winter, about 20 miles to the north to near Brownlee Dam to re-establish a bighorn herd there that has been decimated bydisease.

n ansto re-esta is i orn er near rownee • Oregon and Idaho wildlife agencies will capture the five sheep remaining from aherd decimated bypneumonia Idaho Department of Fish and Game BOISE — TheIdaho Department ofFish and Game iIDFGl and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife iODFWl plan to capture bighorn sheep in both states near Brownlee Dam in February.

The bighorn sheep near Brownlee are the remnants of the Sheep Mountain herd, which once numbered over 80 individuals following transplants in Oregon by ODFW in the early 1990s. However, following a pneumonia outbreak in 1999, the herd has since dwindled to fewer than five sheep. No lambs have been observed since 2009, and repeated testing indicates that chronic infection with bacterial pneumonia is the cause of this group's failure.

The upper end of Hells Canyon represents important bighorn sheep habitat. However, the remaining ewes represent a tiny remnant population with almost no chance of recovery. Furthermore, they represent a threat to other adjacent populations, as wandering bighorns that encounter these sheep may be exposed to the same bacterial pneumonia.

ODFW has proposed to work closely with IDFG to capture and remove the remaining few sheep from the Brownlee area as a prelude to re-establishing a new selfsustaining population.

The two states will work together to capture bighorn sheep using a helicopter. A bighorn sheep disease research facility at South Dakota State University has agreed to acceptthe sheep following capture.

Following removal, ODFW plans to re-establish the Sheep Mountain herd by transplanting bighorn sheep from the adjacent Lookout Mountain herd in Oregon.

Releases in Oregon could begin as early as next winter if conditions are suitable. The re-establishment of a healthy bighorn sheep herd will ultimately provide better opportunities for bighorn sheep hunting as this population rebuilds.

IDFG would need to complete a legislatively required processpriorto considering releasing bighorns on the Idaho side of the river in the future.

HEALTHY LIVING KATY NESBITT

Playing myfood eek three of the CompleteHealth Improvement Plan and I continue to re-think what I eat. I haven't lost a bloody ounce, so I'm fi ustrated, but getting my cholesterol readings back put me in a state of shock and depression.

I'm trudging on.

Coffee is completely out. I can't possibly go through the pain of withdrawals again.

The other three biggies, meat, dairy and alcohol, are still greatly reduced. My two pints at the pub a week is now a half pint, and my dairy consumption is down to a littl ebutterhere and there, but cheese is totally out, and with no coffee, no need for milk or cream.

As for meat? I have had some red meat, in small portions and mauled a fisherman for his steelhead last week.

I will tell you there was almost a gallon of soy milk in the refrigeratoratonepoint and it is finding its way into soups of pureed vegetables, fiuit smoothies and oatmeal.

The taste is a little funky, especially in the soup, but my best fiiends in my dietary transitio n arehotpeppers, fresh and dried, salsas and hot sauces.

When I madevegetable broth to cook my beans, I pureedthe vegetablesfor the soup. With a lot ofherbs and some chipotl e peppersitwas pretty good, but Mom's homemade bread had a smear of butter.

Honestly, toasted and dunked in the soup, I could have done without the butter.

The other night I came home after a flurry of interviews with the Eagle Cap Extreme Sled Dog Race winners and no dinner was cooking — so I emptied out the vegetabledrawer.Iadded sauteed onions, garlic and celery to quinoa cooked in vegetablebroth,a grain so popularithasincreased 25 to 30 percent in the pastcouple years. It only takes a half cup to feed two, so it's still inexpensive.

I baked acorn squash, layered quinoa over it and sprinkledtoasted acorn squash seeds on top. I love slaw, such an easy way to get a lotofveggiesin atonce,so I threw broccoli, apple, celery and carrot into the food processorand drizzled lemon juice on it and a lot ofblack

HEALTH TIP

Threeways to ensure an accurate Pap test The Pap test has been more successful at preventing cancer than any other screening test. It works by finding precancerous changes that can be treated, stopping cervical cancer before it really starts.

To make sure the test is as accurate as possible, follow these simple guidelines: 1. Schedule the Pap test so that you avoid your menstrual period. The best time is five days after your period ends.

2. Don't have sex for at least 48 hours before the test.

3. Don't douche or use tampons; birth control foams; or vaginal medicines, jellies, creams, moisturizers or lubricants for 48 hours before the test.

is expelled after being taunted by a new classmate.

Eddie Huang knows the ins and outs of culture clash.

The chef and television food-show personality's Asian-American family lived one in the 1990s, when they relocated from Washington, D.C., <o Orlandoeach member dealing with the transition

I<'s my first big thing, and it's been a great time hanging ou< with Eddie and everybody who's been in the show." Huang considers his onscreen counterpart "awesome. This was the toughest role <o cast. What I liked about Hudson is how real he was. He's very raw,

and he hasn't been consumed by this whole process.
