A new cooperative formed by private forest owners in Baker County will make it easier, and more profitable, for owners here and in Union and VVallowa counties to sell their timber.

By Chris Collins ccollins©bakercityherald.com

Private woodland owners in Baker, Union and Wallowa counties will receive premium pricesfor theirtimber this winter thanks to an agreement forged with Boise Cascade last month. The agreementcame about with the formation of the Blue MountainWoodland Cooperative, which has been 12 years in the making, said Bob Parker, Extension forester.

The co-op was formed by members of the Baker County Small Woodlands Association. Many of the same people serve in leadership roles in both organizations. Last January, Parker and threemembers ofthe association — Steve Edwards, Lyle Defrees and Eileen Gyllenberg — met with Boise Cascade representativesto make a

deal. awe told them we could offer them aguaranteed chunk of

volume — volume they can count on — and we can push volume at a time they need it the most," Parker said. "And we told them we wanted a 15 percent premium price over what they normally pay — and they said yes." That premium price is the difference between breaking evenand making a profi t for small woodland owners, Parker said.

Baker City Councilor Richard Langrell's lawsuit against the city is scheduled to go to trial April 2, 2015, in Baker County Circuit Court. The 12-member jury trial is slatedto startat9 a.m . Langrell Langrell, whose four-year term as a councilor continues through Dec. 31, 2016, and his wife, Lynne, filed the lawsuit in April of this year. They are seeking more than $9,000 in water and sewer fees they paid the cityoverseveralyears,starting in 2005.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Oct. 17, 1964 The Baker Bulldogs topped the Bend Lava Bears26-0 last night for the first Baker victory over Bend since the Intermountain Conference began four years ago. Duane Barton scored in the first quarter from three yards out on a drive that covered 90 yards and included five first downs before Bend was able to gain possession of the ball. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Oct. 17, 1989 Sally Read, a business teacher at Baker High school was declared winner Friday of the1989-90"Secondary Teacher of the Year" award. Read,53,wa snominated by the Oregon Business Education Association (OBEAj. She was selected from among dozens of high school business teachers throughout the state. She received the honor based partly on her teaching attitude and philosophy, which stresses a love for children. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Oct. 17, 2004 The final tally from the recent Carnegie Library gala was $57060, enough to leverage an additional $75,000 in matching funds. That's the amount that the Collins Foundation of Portland has promised to the effort to transform the library into a new home for the Crossroads Arts Center. Kathleen Chaves, who's writing grants for the project and organized the Oct. 9 gala, expects the Collins Foundation check to be in the mail soon. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Oct. 25, 2013 BEND — Baker City PublicWorks Director Michelle Owen made surpr a ise appearance Wednesday night at the Bend City Council meeting. Owen was in Bend for a conference of the Oregon Chapter of the American PublicWorks Association, but her visit coincided with an ongoing City Council discussion about whether to treat drinking water with ultraviolet light or build a membrane filtration system. Both Bend and Baker City must build water treatment systems that will remove or neutralize the potentially deadly microorganism cryptosporidium, in order to comply with federal law. In July and August an outbreak of cryptosporidium sickened Baker City residents.

Swimmers were forced to take cold showers Tuesday at Sam-0 Swim Center and the air temperature was a bit cooler than usual, but no one was in dangeras a resultofnaturalgasleaks detected by YMCA staf, Baker City Manager Mike Kee said Wednesday. Natural gas that fuels the hot water system and the boiler were turned off while the issue was investigated and repairs were made. The city-owned pool remained heated during that period. Heidi Dalton, the YMCA's chief executive officer, said the pool did not close and most swimmers showed up as usual. They simply took a quick cold shower as required before entering the

pool and then showered at home after swimming, she said. Swimming lessons, water aerobics, swim team practice and lap swimming are scheduled Monday through Thursday at the pool. "Hopefully we'll get it fixed before all the little kiddos want to go swimming this weekend," Dalton said. Open swim is offered at 1 p.m. and 6:30p.m. Friday and at1 p.m .Saturday each week at Sam-O.

them and were able to identify several gas leaks, most of which were related to last winter's installation of a new hot water system, Kee said. The leaks were found mostly around joints that had been wrapped with thread-seal ing tape,Kee said. Inspections by both City Building Inspector Gary Bood and CNG at the time the system was installed showed no problems. But, Kee says it's not unusual for connections to loosen in temperature changes, resulting in the leaks. The hot water system was repaired providing hot showers Wednesday morning. Parts for the boiler were secured Wednesday and the heating system is back in operation today.

BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A

CeleiIrating150vearsof Metholiism • Congregation first met in local homes in 1864, the year Baker City was founded By Phyllis Badgley The history of the Methodist Church in Baker City datesto 1864,theyear the city itself was founded. Circuit rider clergyman John Flynn came on horseback from Walla Walla to preach God's word. Early records to present day indicate 34 ministers have served the Baker City congregation. Interesting to note that after completing pastorate in Baker in 1940, the Rev. Lawrence Robinson and wife, Ruth, chose to serve the mission field in Belgian Congo. They taught Scripture in Swahili. The longest tenure pastorate was 1972-82, when the Rev. Gerald Nelson served the Baker church; he later retired to McMinnville. The present minister, the Rev. Elke Sharma, was appointed in July 2014 by the Oregon-Idaho Conference, which meets annually. The Bishop announces ministerial appointments. Representativesfrom local congregations have voting rights. Local church business is conducted by an Administrative Council. Clair Pickard currently chairs

this body. The longest continuous membership honors Barbara Judy Sanders, 101, who joined in 1922. Barbara'saltovoice fl owed from the choirloftfor 85 years. She still likes to hum along when hymns are played.

Turning 150 The Baker Methodist Church's 150th anniversary will be celebrated Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. at the church, 1919 Second St. Former pastors will attend, and a film documenting the church's history will be shown. Attendees should bring a dish for a noon potluck lunch.

Dedicated member Carleen Cook Grifflth, baptized 84 years ago, has served the local church for eight decades and remains involved today. A number of membershave served faithfully more than 75 years. Early history indicates Baker City Methodists in 1864 met in homes. In 1874 church was housed on Third Street, then relocated in 1893 to a new two-story building at Second and Washington. This structure was in use for almost 70 years until church officials decidedtodemolish the structure and replace it. An 8-mm movie was made of the demolition event. A new educational unit in the same location was built in 1958. Construction followed on the adjoining sanctuary. The cornerstone was laid in May 1961; consecration service was in September 1961 for the

include trips by doctors, military and other aid workers. No reasonable person would argue that the whole of west Africa should be in effect quarantined. The people who can help stop Ebola's spread in that region must of course be allowed to travel there as needed. The situation got even stranger this week when Frieden announced that none of the Dallas Hospital workers who helped care for Thomas E. Duncan, the man who died from Ebola, will be allowed to travel"other than in a controlled environment." In otherwords, federalofficials have curtailed travel by peoplewho might have been

exposed to Ebola in an American hospital — too late, though, to stop one of the two Dallas nurses who has Ebola from taking two flights — but they won't do the same for people who were at the epicenter of the epidemic.

Considering how few nonessential travelers would be affected— farless than 1 percent of all airline passengers — we see no reason for U.S. oKcials not to take steps to reduce the Ebola threat.

Right off the bat, Senator Jeff Merkley wins! Next, we have the question of available, affordable health insurance, which has already reached over 7 million Americans, including over 300,000 in Oregon. Certainly, the Affordable Care Act needs refinementand improvement, hopefully morphing into Medicare for All. But this is unlikely to be realized under a Republican Congress that works relentlessly to throw us back into the unregulated clutches of ruthless, for-profit insurance companies. And, finally, there's the question of meeting our local economic interests. How bettercould thisbeaccomplished than by supporting the ability ofhard-working Oregonians to earn a livable family income and obtain an affordable education? The odds are next to zero that this will come from a Republican Congress thatseeks to lower already bargainbasement taxes on the wealthy few who are absorbing and hoarding an obscene share of our national income and our national wealth. No, Herald editors and read-

ers, we must not join with those who would march us in lock-step off an environmental, medical, and economic cliff. Instead, let us elect those who, free from fear and ideology, would lead us back to the golden era of the '40s, '50s, and '60s, when we all had a fighting chance at the American Dream.

In listening to Governor Kitzhaber's ads circulating in Oregon, therewere a lotofhalf-truthsgrading into "there he goes again," one of Ronald Reagan's debate lines when running for president. Cover Oregon and his bridge to nowhere were coming unraveled and he went on a seven-week vacation. Now the feds want their matching funds back, and guess who's on the hook for that? Us, that's right, us, the taxpayers. Governor Kitzhaber says he has balanced the books and is closing our budget gap, when in reality it was our next governor-elect, Dennis Richardson, that was the one responsible and did the real work thatsolved the budgetcrisis. Kitzhaber says he has created "tens of thousands of new jobs." Really? Oregon's unemployment rate is higher than the national average since our governor took office, and is running around 7 percent. Under our governor our schools have fallen to 49th in the nation for high school graduation. I bet if we have him another four years he could get it to 50th. If you're as sick of this as

The fisher, in case you've not come across one iand except in a zoo, you probablyhaven'tlisa type ofweasel that was prized by trappers in the 19th and early 20th centuries for its luxurious pelt. Not surprisingly, given the prevalenceoftrappersin thatera,there aren't many fishers around these

days. If you haven't seen a picture, imagine a diminutive wolverine — cute, albeit in a weasly way, but no doubt quite capable of inflicting grievous damage if you tried to cuddle one as if it's a kitten. The announcement by the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service iUSFWSl was itself no shock — the agency named the fisher a candidate for federalprotection a decade ago. iThe feds, as you know, will not be rushed on such matters. Or pretty much any matters, come to that.) But the timing, as I said, was curious, and here's why: One of the major threats to the fisher, according to the USFWS, is rat poison that illegal marijuana growers sow to keep vermin from munching on young pot plants. %hich might explain the occa-

Elect Wehby, a trained problem solver, to Senate Life seems more regulated by government intrusion than ever before.From Obamacare,forestroads that are open or not, to what kind oflight bulb that can be purchased. For many these regulations become a problem. As a current member of Congress, Senator Merkley is a contributor of the increase in these regulations and problems. He could be considered a problem maker. Doctors are trained to beproblem solvers. Give Dr. Wehby a chance to solvesome ofthese problems and decrease unnecessary regulations. Are you better off now than six years ago? Vote for Dr. Wehby, a trained problem solver. Robert McKim Baker City

W CBSC SB S say, huckleberries and a package of D-Con — but rather the growers themselves. I doubt they'd have much compunction about shooting a hiker who mistakenly came upon a pot plantation. Measure 91 proponents contend that legalizing marijuana would put theseillegalgrows outofbusiness by removing the financial incentive. Once potis aseasy to procure asa six-pack of Bud, the theory goes, the Mexican cartels won't bother with their illicit plantations hidden in remote patches of public land. That's plausible. The Al Capone era, after all, pretty much faded after the feds ended Prohibition in 1933. But legalizing marijuana isn't likely to reduce the demand; if anything it's liable to increase. Which means pot could become more valuable, not less. And although I struggled with Econ 101 imy professor probably would have chosen a rather more harsh verb), it seems to me that so long as there's a market for the substance there will remain an incentive for people to supply it, no matter how many people — and, of course, fishersget in the way.

I know as much about arts and culture as I do about, well, econom1cs.

My mp3 player harbors such dubious performers as Air Supply Bonnie Tyler and Twisted Sister iand imagine the party if you got all of them together). But however deplorable my taste in music, I feel confident in saying that when it comes to culture, Baker City measures up to Burns, Klamath Falls and Coos Bay. And yet when the Oregon Arts Commission and Oregon CulturalTrust puttogether a statewide schedule of meetings to talk with Oregonians about arts and culture, those three cities made the cut and Baker City did not. The tour, which includes 14 meetings, starts Oct. 20 in The Dalles and ends Dec. 12 in Eugene. East of the Cascades the tour stops include, as mentioned, Burns, on Oct. 29, but also La Grande iOct.

21l, Pendleton iOct. 22l and Bend iOct. 28l. Baker City seems to me conspicuous by its absence. We have the Crossroads Carnegie Art Center. Multiple art galleries. Live music most weekends, including the summertime Powder River Music Review. A regional theater company. Baker City exudes art and bristles with culture. Even Air Supply fans recognize that.

1990s, Gainesville, Florida, I was active in partisan politics iAlachua County executive committees)and alsoserved on a city government board that allocated funding for charitable and civic organizations

Why did you choose to run for oNce?:

Be the change that you want to see. I am a proud product of Baker City. I was raised in a blue-collar family that stressed the value ofhard work. I am a proud graduate of Baker schools, and was the beneficiary of the Leo Adler Scholarship program near its inception. With the assistance oflocal aide and family support I was the firstin my family to graduatewith a bachelor' sdegree and latermaster'sdegreein educational administration. Without the benefits thatIreceived asa resultofour great community I highly doubt I would have accomplished what I have to date. As a result, I am running for office simply to begin to give back to the community that has given me so much. As a past history and government teacher I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility to participate in our local and state government. I have a vested interest to maintain the quality oflife for my children, which I had as a youth in this great community. Many of the community members that will step into the voting booth in November played a role in my achievement. I was able to leverage the incredible resources of this community to educate myself in an attempt to return to Baker City and give back.

I have been disappointed with some decisions made and ordinances passed at City Hall, and have complained about it for years. I have attended City Council meetings and voiced my concerns on some issues, but that isn't nearly enough commitment. After some of those meetings I thought that while members of the general public agreed with me, members of the Council either did not agree, or already had their minds made up before hearing public comment on the issue. There have been times when my wordsmade a difference in how the Council voted and those times have been satisfying. I had been asked a time or two to run for City Council but always had an excuse. I finally decided that I could grumble and do little or nothing, or put in the extra effort to make a difference in my community. I know it won't be easy, will require a lot ofhard work and will be a big responsibility, because every vote impacts the citizens of Baker City in some w ay, eithergood orbad.Itm ay be a long four years, but I hope it will be the most rewarding time of my life.

Iam retired sothatIam free to do thejob if elected. Also, I may be well-qualified for the

My candidacy is rooted in three main areas; futurelocaloccupationalopportunities, maintaining the quality oflife that we have grown to expect with city parks, police, and fire, and lastly marketing the outstanding characteristics of our community to attract quality organizations and community members. I will propose that the city council works to bring together local industry, educational organizations and civic groups to identify and implement ways in which we can bolster future job creation to improve opportunities for individuals to return to our community. This group will place an immediate emphasis on attracting industry to our community that supports a livable wage for trained workers. Ensuring that job training is attainable to every member of our community will demonstrate that a skilled and availabl ework forceispresent to prospective employers. To attract potential employers I propose that the city council place an emphasis on the maintenance of the current infrastructure that we all share. A commitment to maintaining and improving the current facilities in the local parks, pathway, and shared spaces arecritical.I believe the city has a critical role in maintaining the quality oflife we all enjoy. In closing, I will propose that the city council actively engage in marketing the Baker City brand through their own actions. To do so, council members must maintain a professional working relationship at all times, regardless if they agree with one another. I am committed to bringingapositive,professional and openminded perspective to the city council. Be the change you want to see.

I have been thinking about this answer for nearly 40 years. The long held beliefhas been that"Our Little Town" needed to stay the same and not become a Big City. New manufacturing businesses have been blocked for many years. While this has kept our town at roughly the same population for the past century, it has made it difficult for our children to raise their children here. We have to make Baker City more attrac tive forbusinesses large and small to relocate or start here. Baker City had some large and small employers that went out of business and were never replaced. People had to move to find employment and raise their family. It's a shame that people dream that maybe they can return when they retire, but they can't make a living here. Tourism is great and we need to expand tourism opportunities, but we need full-time jobs with benefits and a future. We also need to insure that our drinking water is safe, now and in the future. This will mean putting money into a fund and looking for grants and other funding sources to build the filtering system that we will eventually need. The UV system now being installed works for a lot of things, but ash and debris from a major fire in the watershed isn't one of them. The upkeep of our streets and winter snow removal are also big issues. Those streets are slowly falling into disrepair. Chip sealing works well, but it isn't a fix-all. In the winter, the mounds of snow down the center of our streetsare an eyesore aswellasa safety hazard. Many places get more snow and don't clog up the centerline. There has been a lot of talk about the costs of our city employees. Those outstanding employeesneed toberewarded and inferior employeestrained orreplaced. Many ofourproblems need funding and without businesses and employers there are fewer peoplewho pay forthosecity services. We need to put Baker City to work.

job.

Describe how you propose to make a difference if you are elected: If elected I feel that I will be able to encourage the City Council in some of the following ways: • In addition to overseeing management of facilities and services, the primary responsibility of the Council should be to set policy. This covers— but isnotrestricted to— issues of: physical growth management; limits on and appropriate jurisdiction oflocal, state and federal government; and creating economic and culturalopportunitiesto attractand retain

good people.

•

• The Council should also directly represent its constituency. I, myself, had difficulty originally with this concept, but now believe that it is the very basis of our democracy. I would encourage hearing and forwarding petitions to other government agencies on any level. • The well-being of Baker City and County are bound together. Land use and ecological matters upon which our economy and quality of life ultimately rest are conjointly the responsibility of the County Commission and City Council.

City property sales also on Nov. 4 ballot In addition to the City Council election, Baker City voters will decide Nov. 4 whether to authorize the city to sell two forested parcels it owns along Salmon Creek, about eight miles west of Baker City. The city charter requires the city to get voter approval before selling any real property worth at least $5,000. One of the parcels is 33.23 acres, the other 15.95 acres. Proceeds from the sales would go into the city's water fund.

Write-In Votes Will Matter With three candidates on the ballot and four openings on the seven-member Baker City Council, at least one person will be elected by write-in votes. None of the four incumbents whose terms end Dec. 31 will continue as councilors. Dennis Dorrah and Clair Button were not eligible to run for re-election due to the city's term limits rule. Roger Coles and Barbara Johnson declined to run again. Results of write-in votes probably won't be available until at least a few days after Election Day, Nov. 4. County officials have to manually count each write-in vote, and then verify that the person who receives the most write-in votes is eligible, and willing, to serve as a councilor.

ARREST Continued ~om Page1A In a press release issued Thursday, Police Chief Wyn Lohner said the investigation began Oct. 7 after the parents of a 16-year-old Baker City girl discovered sexually explicit conversations between their daughter and an unknown adult male on the girl's iPod. The girl and Skeels were communicating through a ''Whisper" online chat site, Lohner said. Baker City Police sought technical assistance from an Oregon Department of Justice investigator who is affIliated with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a national organization. On Oct. 8, with advice from the DOJ investigator, a Baker City offIcer

created a Whisper account portrayingthe partofa 15-year-old girl. The offIcer carried on "numerous" online chats with Skeels, which led to his arrest, Lohner said. The police chief said this incident should serve as areminder to parents about the dangers children can be exposed to through social media sites.

ELIt', RIFLE HUNTING SEASON

TQM CLAYCQMB

LATER START TO SEASON SHOULD BENEFIT

• Rainy, colder weather should make tracking elk easier

By Eric Avissar Wescom News Service

The Union County rifle hunting season for elk begins Oct. 29 and goes until Nov. 2. For the first of two elk hunting seasons, all hunters are required to have a tag in order to hunt on public land. The tag lottery was held May 15, and results were posted on June 20 to ensure tag-holders have enough time to plan their hunts, according to Oregon Department Fish and Wildlife Communications Director Michelle Dennehy. This year's elk hunting season formarksmen getsoffto a later start than in 2013. ODFW wildlife biologist Leonard Erickson said this should be a benefit for hunters. "Colder and rainy weather will make the elk more visible," Erickson said."Snowfall can also make tracking a lot easier." For those who were unable to draw a tag, the second elk hunting season for firearm users runs from Nov.8 toN ov.16 as ageneral hunt. 'The general hunt season is a spike-only season," Dennehy said. "To get a trophy elk is a very covetedprizefor big-game hunters." Spike elk are defined as a male elk having one visible unbranched antler. Dennehy also urged all hunters to check the regulations on the ODFW website regarding big game hunting, which can be accessed at www.dfw.state.or.us/ resources/hunting/big~ame/regulations/docs/2014 big game regs. pdf. There, all of the new policy changes can be found highlighted in blue. Clayton Lowe, who has 13 years of elk hunting experience, said he is excited for the upcoming elk hunting season. "Now that it's getting cooler, it's easiertohang meat fora longer periodoftime,"Lowe said."It'sa fun time to be in the woods with leaves changing colors. You get nice, colder mornings, and fire restrictions are usually lifted around this time of year." Some of the more well-known SeeElk / Page 4C

The rifle hunting season for elk begins Oct. 29, and the late start to the hunting campaign should prove to be a boost to Union County hunters. In Baker County, the dilemma of finding elk on public land makes the task of bagging an elk difficult.

Finding elk a problem in Baker By Jayson Jacoby WesCom News Service

The problem with elk in Baker County isn't how many there are, it's where they are. At least for some hunters. The dilemma of finding elk on public land, or on private land that's open to hunters, is especially acute in the Lookout Mountain unit, one of four units in the county, said Justin Primus, assistant district wildlife biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Baker City

office. Lookout Mountain, which makes up most of the county's southeastern section, south of Highway 86 and north of Interstate84,hasjust38 percent public land, the smallest percentage among the four units. A few Access and Habitat areas, where private landowners let hunters come onto their property in exchange for cash payments from the state, augment the relatively small amount of public land in the unit.

Yet still the elk population in the Lookout Mountain unit remains above ODFW's goal of 375 animals. The main reason, Primus said, is that many elk in the unit spend most of their time — and, most importantly, during the hunting seasons— on private land that's not open to all hunters. "It's just a hard unit to hunt," Primus said."There are a lot of elk in someplaces,butthereare also places that don't have any elk." SeeBaker / Page 4C

f you learn how to call elk, you can cover a lot more ground. Here's what I mean by that: if you're just walking around not calling, then you have to literally cover every inch of ground. If you learn how to call, then you can set up and cover let's say 50 acres from one spot so you end up covering a lot more ground in a day. Make sense? At the first elk calling seminar I ever attended, the speakersaid thatifyou go to a foreign country you'd have to learn the language iHence the Primos slogan"Speak The Language"). He said it's the same with calling. Just because you can speak English you don't stand up in a theater and yell "Fire" — everyone would stampede. You can have the same effect on elk if you make the wrong sound at the wrong time. Learn the basic sounds thatthey make and when they makethem.Attend some seminars, buy a CD and thenpractice,practice, practice. And don't just buy one CD. That's only one guy's opinion. I learn something different every time I listen to someone. I just had breakfast yesterday with a few buddies and picked up some tips while listening to Dwight Schuh. I'd give a million dollars if I'd had known 30 years ago what I know now. Back then,not many peopleknew a thing about calling so consequently, elk were less sophisti cated.Most people used a reed and a vacuum cleaning hose to bugle. The first time I ever tried calling I had a bull coming in, a spike on the hillside in tront of us and a four point bull in the draw below us....and I was a horrible caller. So don't worry aboutbeing perfect. One time a bull answered and then another one. It was the worst bugling I'd ever heard so I knew that it was some gunsel. Oh well, I'll call them up to the top of the mountain. In a bit, the biggestbullthatI'd everseen steppedout.Mo ralto the story: don't think that you have to be perfect.W e alltalk different, don't we? Everyone tells you that elk don't talk as much now. I credit that to the bludgeoning wolf plague. It's not hard to imagine why. A bull bugles and suddenly a pack of wolves show up and run him ragged and kill his cows. One year, a buddy had two packs circling him when he was cow calling. But elk still talk. It's just diferent now than it SeeClaycomb/Page4C

FLY-TYING CORNER

Trout love 3ay Dave's Hopper Use a heavier tippet to get the fly to turn over on the cast. Tie this pattern with strong yellow thread on a long shank No. 8-10 dry fly hook. For the tail, use dyed red calf tail or dyed red mallard wing. For the body, use yellow wool or chenille and tie in a loop over the tail. For the legs, use yellow-dyed, trimmed hackle stalk, knotted at the knees. Finish by spinning deer hair for the head.

Hunters in Northeastern Oregon are killing fewer cougars than usual so far in 2014, but state wildlife biologists believe this represents a statistical blip rather than a significant drop in the region's population ofthebig cats. As of Oct. 9, hunters had killed 42 cougars in the Blue Mountains zone, and another 13 cougars had died &om other causes ibeing hit by a car, for instance).

Wildlife's iODFV9 Enterpriseoffice,said the cougar statistics so far in 2014 don't surprise him because the numbers tend to fluctuate from year to year. "Cougar harvest numbers really bounce aroundsome years, for whatever reasons, hunters seem to run into them," Matthews said. Most cougars are killed by people who are hunting some other species, such as deer or elk, during the fall. With most of the elk seasons yet to start in Northeastern Oregon, Matthews said he expects the cougar harvest will rise substantially over the next month or so. In addition, the deer-hunting season started several days later this year than last. That means the 2013 figure of 67 cougars killed by huntersincluded most ofthedeer hunting season, while this year's totalof42only covers the first few days of the deer season. Justin Primus, the assistant district wildlife biologist at ODFW's Baker City office, said no archery hunters checked in a cougar carcass at the office this year ihunters who kill a cougar are required to bring the carcass to an ODFW office so biologists can collect basic information). And as of Wednesday, no rifle deer hunters had brought in a cougar, either, Primus said. Typically at least a few archery and rifle deer hunters check in a cougar at the Baker City office, he said. Nonetheless, Primus said he has seen no evidence to suggest that the cougar population in Baker County has decl ined overthe past few years. Matthews' assessment for Wallowa County's cougar population is the same as Primus' for Baker County. "I certainly haven't noticed any less amount of cougar sign when I'm out and about," Matthews said."Especially in winter time here, if there's snow on the ground

Built in the 1950s as a hunting lodge, the Minam River Lodge has been undergoing renovations since 2011, with the end goal of a destination resort for tourists, families, hikers and hunters alike. When the lodge was built in the 1950s, the purpose was to house hunters. While hunters will always be welcome, Ellis says with the new additions that have been put in and continue to be built, he has seen an uptick in people visiting just for the lodge,notasa pitstop in their vacation.

Wallowa elk units prime spots this fall • Wenaha, Minam units tied for highest ratio By Katy Nesbitt WesCom News Service

ENTERPRISE — Elk hunting in Wallowa County has been legendary for decadesin aregion that once had so few head. Rocky Mountain elk were transplanted by horse drawn wagons from Wyoming in the early 20th century. Now, numbers in all but the Wenaha Unit are well above management objective, providing ample hunting opportunities in the timber and on the prairie. The Wenaha, a fabled elk hunting unit, has some of thesteepest,m ostremote country in a county wellknown for both qualities. The Wenaha is tied with the Minam Unit for the highest bull to cow ratio with 17 bulls per 100 cows. The Wenaha Unit No. 2 has one bull season from Nov. 7 through 15 and only 35 tags are available. Wenaha Unit No. 1 has a spike- only season from Oct. 17 to 23 with 385 tags. The Wenaha Unit No. 3 season, also spike only, is from Nov. 7 through 15 with 220 tags. The Minam Unit has 17 bulls per 100 cows and like the Wenaha,much ofthe

MiPt • + nam Unit No. 1's season is Oct. 28 through Nov. 1, and Pk-.Q Minam Unit No. 2 runs Nov. 7 through Nov. 15. Sled Springs, an extremely large unit, has 16 bulls per 100 cows, but only one bull season in Unit No. 1 from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 with 550 tags available. The Sled Springs Unit No. 2 is spike only and runs from Nov. 7 to Nov. 15 with 440 tags. The Chesnimnus Unit Pr has 5,000 head of elk, the most of any of the Wallowa County units, and 14 bulls per 100 cows. Chesnimnus has one bull elk season from Nov. 7 through Nov. 15 with 770 tags. Snake River Unit No. 2 has 14 bulls per 100 cows and one bull elk season from Nov. 7 to Nov. 15 and only 275 tags.

Popular tools for calling elk range from big to small. I'd recommend at the minimum to have a bugle, cow call and a reed call.You can use the tube for the last two calls, as well as for bugling.

Deer and elk hunting tips

Continued from Page1C

Hunting in dry weather? Here are some tips from ODFW wildlife biologists. Slow down. Wear something on your feet that allows you to feel the dry sticks and twigs that are going to make noise when you step on them. You will not be able to cover as much ground, but you will get a better look at the animals you do see. Plan to be at your destination early in the morning and late in the evening. When you get there, slow down or sit and use your optics to find deer. Hunt areas where you can sit and glass, then develop a stalkthat will get you within range without getting so close that all the noise you make getting there doesn't spook the quarry.

ODFW has tried to help hunters not only through the AH program, but also by creating an antlerless hunt that lasts from mid-October through the end of the year, and with a generousallotment ofabout 270 tags. But that tactic hasn't been very successful, and Primus said ODFW is considering either addinga second antlerlesshunt for2015,or extending the existing season to Jan. 15. Although access for hunters is a bigger problem in Lookout Mountain, the issue of elkhanging around on private property exists in other parts of Baker County as well, Primus said. "Elk herds on private land are growing faster than the herds on public land," he said. This not only discourages hunters, but it also increases the amount of damage that elk cause to alfalfa fields and other private land. ''We'relooking forsome sortofbalance," Primus said. In the Sumpter unit, which is Baker County's largest, elk populations have been relativel y steady forthepastfew years. One trend that could benefit hunters is an increasing number of elk that seem to be migrating from private lands in Sumpter Valley — and in particular the Bar C Bar Ranch north of Phillips Reservoir — and ODFWs winter elk-feeding site along Old Auburn

Hunter access is generally better in those two units — Pine Creek is 76 percent public land, Keating 58 percent. Predicting elk movements in the units can be diKcult, though, because the animals tend to move not only between the two units, but also from adjacent areas to the north in Wallowa County, Primus said. These migrations usually increase as ¹ vember progresses, he said. Bull elk often will stay at higher elevations until the snow deepens, but even a brief cold snap, whether accompanied by snow or not, can entice cows and calves to startm oving to lower elevations, Primus said. He reminds hunters in the Pine Creek unit, which extends to the Idaho-Oregon border, that Forest Road 39, the Wallowa Mountain Loop Road, is closed to traftc from its southern junction at Highway 86, about 10 miles east of Haifway, for 13 miles north along North Pine Creek.

Road. This migration, which usually starts before ODFW starts feeding elk in December, could give hunters a chance to find elk on public land between Sumpter Valley and the feed site, Primus said. The ODFW property, which is south of Old Auburn Road, is open to hunters until Dec. 1. Elk populations in Baker County's two other units, Pine Creek and Keating, are, like Sumpter's, pretty steady, Primus said.

ELK Continued from Page1C and coveted hunting units in the Union County area include Starkey, Catherine Creek and Mt. Emily. In 2013, there were 831 applications for 25tagsdrawn in Starkey, while there were 101 appli cations for26 tags in Catherine Creek. Lowe said he is looking forward to hunting with his wife, Casey, who drew a tag to hunt elk in Sled Springs. "Some of the units like Wenaha and Mt. Emily are really tough to get tags in," Lowe said."People will wait 12 to 19 years to draw some ofthosetags.Ittakesa long time to get that opportunity just for a five-day hunt." The ODFW's website also lists a list of tips for elk hunters to follow. They include lookingfor an areaw ith lots of public land or property open to hunting — the biggerthebetter so there are more places to roam. The Oregon Hunting Map iwhich can also be accessed on the websitel includes information about private lands open to hunters through the Access and Habitat Program. In addition, the ODFW suggests scouting areas duringthesummer when deer areeasiertospotdue to the color of their summer coat. Bucks will also spend more time in the open to avoid injuring their velvet antlers. According to the ODFWs big game hunting forecast for elk in Union County, elk

was 30 years ago. Oregon, Washington and Colorado aren't infiltrated as bad yet as Idaho, Montana and Wyoming but just wait. Every seminar and article strongly recommends not to call too much. I disagree. I call just as much as ever or maybe more. Just don't expect them to answer as much. I learned this somewhat by mistake. I have an old timer who I take hunting a lot and he can barely totter up the mountain. He can't move around much so when we do a setup he has to staytherefor 1to 1-Ij2 hours. After taking him I've learnedthata lotoftim esa bull will take a good while to come in. One took 1 Ij2 hours and he didn't make one peep when he came in. This sounds basic, but make sure when you setup to call thatyou'reconcealed. How many times do we hit a bugle just to see if something responds? Suddenly one blows up right close and you're busted.

Despite a lack ofbites, steelhead are on their way E

veryday,anadramous fi sh by the thousands have been making their way up, over and past the Snake River dams. And the one question I have is, are you ready? To commit? Because barring having to kick the occasional rattler, which hasn't denned up yet, out of the way, there is adistinctabsence ofsnow, ice,sleet, mud, ripping river currents and all of the other elements that make mid-winter to late spring steelhead fishing the dogged pursuit it is. The few reports trickling in this week &om the Lostine Tavern indicated mixed reviews. Everything from "One for two" to"still working with my cows" to "it's not steelhead season yet" was heard. Other reportsaround the area seemed tobejustas cryptic. Whether this is just because there aren't actually fish in the tributaries of the Snake yet or not remains to be seen. This past weekend, I dropped down the Grande Rondewith a gray-bearded,cigarsmoking bear of a fishing buddy to see what we could catch. And while I briefly had something on the line that moved, shook and surfacedwith atouch ofred like a steelhead, I couldn't be sure. While the occasional bull trout, whitefish and a few fin clipped rainbows between 15 and 18 inches kept us going all day, it was toughtogetmy mind wrapped around catching a steelhead on a typically mighty riverrunning ata puny 700 cubicfeetper second on a sunny, high-70's early fall day.

It looks like the real thing, but an elk decoy like the one above can be a great tool in drawing elk in on a hunt, when used correctly.

roserwavo ooin e en an elk hears a lot of calling and is coming in to your setup, he expects to see another elk. Ifhe doesn't, he gets a little nervous. You want to put him at ease when he comes in. A lot of things can help put him at ease. You can do this by using scent covers and various elk scents and decoys, but in this article we're going to discuss

little movement. To make it smell realistic, clip elk pee wafers to the decoy. You can also hang some of the Tink's wick bottles &om a nearby tree filled with your favorite scent. A lot of bow hunters, or maybe I should say a few, set in a blind near a wallow or trail, but decoys work great for rifle hunters as well. If you're rifle hunting, try to set up so you're not in direct line of fire, though, in case some gunsel comes in and perforates your decoy. Also, be careful when carrying your decoy, since another hunter may see glimpses of an elk-colored object slipping through the brush and open up. Some people say to make a little noise once in a while. Roll a rock, snap some twigs or bang some brush. I don't, just because I like to be unnoticed, but I have buddies who are better elk hunters than me that do so. Ifyou choose to make noise, just make sure that it's an elk-sounding noise and doesn't sound like some fat guy clunking along in apairofboots. And don't be overly surprisedifa wolf,cougaror bear suddenly pops up and charges your decoy. I can think of at least five people who have been calling and looked around and a cougar or wolf is stalking them. So it doesn't hurt to have a buddy with you when you're calling.

pondering a nap in the shade. In some ways it was a relief not to have caught a steelhead yet. Not to be consumed by that ever present hunger of wanting to catch just one more fish, when the next neareststeelhead might bethreeriver miles away. And in other ways it just made me hungrier. Driving home through Flora, windows rolled down in the still warm night, my buddy talked a lot about the steelheading to come. Weekends on rivers closer to home. And road trips. To take cracks at the B run fish on the Clearwater. Sneak over to the Salmon. Double back over our tracks and poke around the Umatilla or John Day.cYou know," I said — watching as we whipped past a group of whitetailed deer on the side of the highway — "I spent all last fall fishing the Wallowa, and neverdid land a steelhead on thatriver until late winter. You think there will actually be some fish closer to home this fall?" "Never know," he replied. And that is the thing about steelhead, you never know.

He also drove up to the Elkhorn Crest Trail and walked out from there several times, spotting goats miles away. The numbers were good around the frail, but the distanceproved problematic. 'That's why I went back into Rock and Pine Creek, because I knew where they were and that you could get to them easier," Cathey said. After the scouting missions, Cathey got out to the Elkhorns a couple days beforethe season started and set out for a three-day journey.
