TRICK OR TREATING DOWNTOWN ON SATURDAY

By Joshua Dillen ldillen©bakercityherald.com

Historic Baker City Inc.'s annual downtown trick or treating event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 31, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Baker City's sewage treatment plant, and the expensive upgrades it's likely to need in the future, were the main topic of discussion during Tuesday's City Council meeting.

Don Butcher, water quality manager for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, talked about the city's optionsfordisposing of its treated wastewater.

The city stores wastewater in lagoons just north of town, and east of Highway 30.

The city's permit for discharging wastewater from the lagoons into the Powder River expired in 2008 and has been under administrative extension since then.

'You've been extended for seven years. That's not unusual," Butcher said.

i re s

Studded tires legal starting Sunday It's legal to drive on Oregon roads with studded snow tires starting Sunday, Nov. 1.

The Baker City meeting is set for Nov. 9 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the National Guard Armory, 1640 Campbell St.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 28, 1965 The Haines volunteer fire department squelched a fire last night at about 6 p.m. at the Baker Mill and Grain warehouse located on highway 30, according to Ray Pullen, Haines.

The fire did about $300 damage to the structure.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 29, 1990 A Baker City boy escaped injury when he awoke to a fire that destroyed his bed Saturday morning.

The Baker City Fire Department was called to the fire at1773 Broadway St. at 6:05 a.m. Richard Franke and his three boys were not injured. The fire apparently was started by a candle one of the boys left burning by his bedside.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 28, 2005 The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest's timber sale program remains a toothpick compared with its two-byfour heyday in the 1970s and 1980s.

But the Wallowa-Whitman's timber sale sliver did attain a slight gain in its girth over the past year.

During the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the Baker City-based Wallowa-Whitman, at 2.3 million acres is the largest of the 19 national forests in Oregon and Washington, offered for sale 20.5 million board-feet of trees. That's the biggest bunch of trees theWallowa-Whitman has tried to sell in a single fiscal year since 2001.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 29, 2014 A cosmic bowling fundraiser Saturday afternoon and evening at Elkhorn Lanes in Baker City raised $2,055 for MayDay Inc., the nonprofit organization that helps victims of sexual and domestic violence and elder abuse.

The bowling event itself, which pitted teams of six against one another, raised $736 in entry fees, said Mark Bogart, a spokesman forMayDay. Raffle tickets for a snowblower donated by Sears brought in another $260.

The remainder — $1,059 — was raised by other raffle and silent auction items.

Participation is free. Kids can sign up ahead of time at the library, or just show up to the meeting.

''We dida lotofscience projects in middle school," Decker says, positioning a popsicle stick just right before securing it with hot glue.

White and Bowers circulate through the room, offeringadvice orsuggestions when asked.

But most of the kids get right down to it with their own design in mind.

Butcher estimates a target of 2017-18 for Baker City to start the permit renewal process. ''We can work with you on this," he said.

The issue is not a new one for city officials.

Several years ago they began planning for the likelihood that, at some undetermined time in the future, the city would no longer be allowed to release wastewater into the Powder River.

City officials have focused on the alternative ofbuilding a pipeline to route wastewater fiom the lagoons to an artificial wetland in Baldock Slough, north of the airport and east of Interstate 84.

Building the pipeline could cost an estimated $5 million.

EDITORIAL

Parts of the Owyhee country of Malheur County are more than 100 miles from Baker City, but the current debate over how to manage a huge swath of public land in that area has potential ramifications for Northeastern Oregon.

A coalition of environmental groups wants to designate about 2 million acres in Malheur County — that's the size of Baker County — as federal wilderness.

Another half a million acres would be a"national conservation area."

Failing a wilderness designation — which requires the approval of Congress — proponents of the Owyhee Canyonlands support unilateral action by President Obama, through the 1906 Antiquities Act, to create a national monument in the Owyhee area.

The reason we're paying attention to the Owyhee debate is that closer to home lies an even bigger potential prize for conservationists: Hells Canyon.

Groups such as the Hells Canyon Preservation Council have in the past suggested the canyon as a national park.

Like a wilderness designation, that would require congressional approval.

Parts of Hells Canyon are already wilderness. 0thers are within a national recreation area, yet another type of management.

The range of potential options — wilderness, national monument, conservation area — makes it diKcult to predict how a particular decision would affect how local residents could use Hells Canyon.

But it's conceivable that whatever the designation, activities such as livestock grazing, logging, mining and motor vehicle access could be restricted or banned altogether.

Motor vehicles are prohibited in wilderness areas.

Hunting is banned in national parks.

Then, too, decisions by Congress or the president could lure thousands of new visitors to the area every year.

That could benefit the local economy, but it also could have major effects on residents who spend time in these areas.

The focus now is on the Owyhee country.

But decisions that affect our neighbors to the south could influence the future of nearby public lands.

By 2014, these start their journeys to the backcountry.

Wolf predation might not be the only factor influencing central Idaho elk numbers, but with a high wolf pack density in the Middle Fork Zone, it is the dominating factor according to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

Contrary to claims made by animal protecti onistgroups,delisting doesnot remove protections for wolves in Oregon.

Wolves will remain a protected species, and they are still federally listed in all but the eastern-most sliver of Oregon.

Delisting will, however, start the journey down the road to Phase III and allow the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife iODFWI more options for applying managementpractices.

Following through on the promises made to Oregon's agricultural community will also foster better tolerance of wolves and maintain the credibility of Oregon's Wolf Plan.

We need to look more broadly on the issue of wolves and expand our focus to be able to seebeyond statelines.W olves have demonstrated the ability to look beyond state borders, and we should, too.Oregon developed a very effective management plan with detailed criteria to recover wolves in this state, while also protecting other wildlife species and agriculture. It is vital that we carefully follow the direction of the wolf plan, which was developed with buy-in fiom many diverse stakeholders. We must stick with the plan and delist wolves in Oregon.

What I DO care about is what will the Republicans do for me NOW. From the papers I read, they want to take away my Medicare, change my health plan, rid the United States of anyone Hispanic even if they were born in this country, take away voting rights in some states ireminds me of

could dig in, and I think there ought to be consequences for that," Johnson told the paper.

Johnson's concept is that the citizens committee would be checking to ensure state money is being spent properly and projects were achieving goals.

She would try to make the committee less partisan by dividing evenly between Democrats and Republicans.

That's highly problematic. If the committeeissupposed torepresent Oregonians, where are the Independent Party members, the true independents or the members of minor parties?

She would also grant it auditing power, transferring the control of the state auditing function from the Secretary of State Office.

As sympathetic as we are with her frustration, Oregon does not need to create a new government entity. Let's

take Cover Oregon as an example. To some extent, legislatorswere misled.

They also trusted the message when there were warning signs. There were auditreports plastered with red flags.

Contracts were put together hastily and sloppily written.

If there is anything legislators should know about government, it's that mistakes get made, money is not treated with enough care and problems are minimized.

Legislators do work at a disadvantage.Stateworkers and agencies are on the job year-round. Oregon's legislators have minimal staff and are not full time.

The Legislature should look harder at what modest changes it can add to enableitto bethew atchdog itissupposed tobe.Itcan startby challenging what it is told.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: State Sen. Betsy Johnson, DScappoose, hasidentified an obstinate problem. State agencies aren't held accountable. But we are not sure about her solution: Create a citizens watchdog committee.

It's legislatorsthat should be doing that job.

Johnson is rightfully tired of state officials misleading lawmakers about projects and spending, according to a report in the Daily Astorian.

The poster child of a state agency that mislead will long be Cover Oregon.

It said it was on target. It was not. The state health care exchange foundered, flopped and finally was scrapped. ''When I watched some of the staff from Cover Oregon come in and just flat fib to the Legislature, I think that's where an accountability committee

MALHEUR COUNTY

STATE BRIEFING

Waldeninuites Interior Secretaryto amendmeelin gonOwyheegrogosal

By Dylan J. Darling WesCom News Service

U.S. Rep. GregWalden wants to know what Interior Secretary Sally Jewell thinks about a potential national monument designation for the Owyhee Canyonlands in Malheur County.

Walden, R-Hood River, opposes the idea, and sent a letter Friday to Jewell, asking her or a high-level Department of Interior official to come to a meeting this Thursday on the topic in Adrian, near the OregonIdaho border on the Snake River.

"I invite you ior a senior representative ofyourchoosingl to attend this important forum toprovideinformation on the iObamal Administration'sconsideration ofthis proposal and hear directly from the communities that would be directly impacted by the Department of the Interior's iDOIl actions," he wrote.

The Bend-based Oregon Natural Desert Association is among the group of nonprofits and companies leading a push for the Owyhee Canyonlands earning federalprotection from energy development and mining — asking specifically fora conservation area.If lawmakers do not designate the land as a conservation area or wilderness,President Obama could designate it as a national monument, Brent Fenty, executive director for the Oregon National Desert Association, said Friday.

proposed Owyhee Canyonlands national monument would cover 2 1 miihon acres accorchng to Keens Live Monumental Web page.

Fenty called the Owyhee Canyonlands a"national gem home to rare plants cultural sites and wildhfe "Thousands of Oregonians have made clear over the last several months that this is an area they want to see protected," he said.

In writing to Jewell, Walden said people living in Malheur County want to know where the federal government stands on the proposed protections.

He is concerned about the impact a national monument designation could have on communities in the rural county. The Bureau of Land Management, which is overseen by the Interior Department, and other federal agencies manage 4.5 million acres in Malheur County — nearly three-quarters of the county in southeast Oregon.

Walden wrote to Jewell that he is concerned about the potential economic impactsofrestricting useon nearly half of the federal land in the county.

PENDLETON iAPl — It stood in Eastern Oregon for more than a century, but Pendleton's iconic windmill has crashed down after being hit by an SUV. The East Oregonian reports ihttp J/bit.ly/1Rzzc2w l that police say a man drove through a fence and smashed into at least two of the windmill's four galvanized steel support beams. Police say the driver was not under the influence but may have fallen asleep at the wheel.

Umatilla County Historical Society executive director Barbara Lund-Jones says the loss of the windmill is a blow to the very identity of the organization's Heritage Station Museum. The society uses the image of the museum and windmill on its letterhead and business cards.

An engineer who lives in Pendleton says he thinks the windmill would be repaired, though it would have to be shortened.

OLCC regional manager put on leave BEND iAPl — The Bend regional manager of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission is on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.

OLCC spokeswoman Christie Scott tells the Bulletin 4ttp J/bit.ly/1GvJj88 l that the investigation against Katie Siefkes is confidential, and the commission can not disclose the nature of any allegations.

Siefkes has served as regional manager in Bend since 2012. She oversees staff in the commission's Bend and Pendleton offices, which perform liquor licensing, regulation and enforcement in Central and Eastern Oregon.

Scott says, Portland Regional Manager Shannon Hoffeditz will also serve as Bend regional manager while Siefkes is on leave.

Portland mayor won't seek re-election SALEM iAPl — Portland Mayor Charlie Hales is dropping his bid for re-election, saying Monday that he can't fully devote himself to both a campaign and his job as mayor.

The announcement was a surprising reversal for the first-term Democrat, who said in the spring that he would seek another four years in office. He had faced a spirited campaign against state Treasurer Ted Wheeler, who challenged him from the left ahead of the May primary election. ''When confronted with the choice between giving my full effort to the job ofbeing mayor and spending that energy on a long and consuming re-election campaign, it's an easy choice," Hales said in a statement.

Big challenges demand his full attention, he said, including population growth and gang violence. Portland is projected to add 200,000 residents overthenext20 years.

Gang violence has resulted in 10 deaths and 45 injuries so farthisyear,he said.

The government, in its first formal response, says the opponents misrepresent and exaggeratethe potentialeffects.

It says they have proven no irreparable harm and are challenging prematurely the planning-level amendments that offer guidelines but render no specific decisions on individual grazing, mining or otherfederalpermits.

"They allege speculative injuries that will come to pass, if at all, only after future site-specific decisions are made," Bogden wrote. He especially challenged claims the protections could restrict use of thousands of miles of existing roads and threaten public safety by inhibiting the travel of emergency responders.

"The amendmentsdo not close any existing routes," Bogden wrote."But even if they did, the agencies' regulations exempt emergency vehicles trom OHV iotf-highway vehicle) restrictions."

The lawsuit accuses the government of"attempting a massive management change" for more than 20 million acres of public land in

Nevada without proper environmental review — nearly 3 million acres where new mining claims are prohibited for at least two years and more than 16 million acres subject to what the lawsuit calls oneroustravelrestrictions.

The two-year treeze on some new mining claims was triggeredby Jewell' sproposal last month to withdraw 10 million acres of public lands in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming under the 1872 Mining Law, which was passed then to encourage the development oflands in the western U.S. But Bogden said the proposedwithdrawal issubject to"valid existing rights and has no immediate effect on mining operations." It's subject to public comment through Dec.23.

The lawsuit says the government inappropriately dismissed Elko County's plan to increase livestock grazing as a way to bolster grouse habitat by slowing the growth of vegetation that fuel wildfires. But Bogden said there is "no scientific evidence to support a correlationbetween increased grazing and improved sage grouse habitat."

OREGON BRIEFING Two killed in World War II tank explosion BEND iAPl — Oregon authorities are investigating an explosion inside a World War II-era tank that left two

people dead.

The blast occurred Tuesday afternoon at a public gun range east of Bend.

Paramedics tried to save the victims but they died from their injuries. No names have been released.

Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson tells KTVZ-TV that rescuers were able to speak with one of the victims before death.

There was no word on what caused the explosion, but Nelson says video was being shot around when the blast occurred that could help them learn more about what

happened.

The station showed footage of the tank in a field. Authorities said there is no risk to the public.

Detectives trom the sheritf's office and the Oregon State Police Arson and Explosives Section are investigating.

Bomb threat delays school in Estacada ESTACADA iAPl — OtfIcials say a bomb threat canceledparent-teacher conferences and willdelay the start of schools Wednesday in Estacada.

Sandy Police Department officials said in a news release that the Clackamas County dispatch center received a report Tuesday evening that a bomb was placed at Estacada High School.

Police searched the school and found nothing suspicious. As a safety precaution school district officials canceled the remaining Tuesday night conferences and delayed the start of school Wednesday by two hours.

Police will conduct another sweep of school district propertybefore schoolstartsWednesday.

Estacada is about 34 miles southeast of Portland.

Couple accused of holding woman captive DALLAS iAPl — Police arrested a man and woman trom Oregon accused of holding a woman captive for six weeks.

Documents filed this week in Polk County show 46-year-old Ronnie Lee and 44-year-old Irish Boyce charged with kidnapping and unlawful sexual penetration. Lee has also been charged with rape.

The arresting officer says in court documents that the victim told investigators she went with Lee to get heroin last month, and was taken to a Salem home. The victim said she took heroin and was then struck with a closet rod and held against her will until Sunday.

The 29-year-old victim said she slept on the bathroom floor near the bed shared by Lee and Boyce and was repeatedly abused.

Lee pleaded not guilty Monday and is due back in court Thursday with a court-appointed attorney.

Ballot measure would ban ivory sales SALEM iAPl — A bill to outlaw ivory sales stalled in the Oregon Legislature earlier this year, so animal welfareadvocates are taking theircause directly tovoters.

The measure would go even further, aiming to end the saleofproductsderived from avarietyofendangered or heavily poached animals, including elephants, rhinos, lions,sea turtles and sharks.Itcomes asotherstates,and the federal government, look to end much of the legal market for ivory.

Customers, for the most part, may not see a huge impact on their wallets. But they will likely see some store closures or name changes and fewer brand choices after Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. adds the nation's third-largest drugstore chain.

Rite Aid owns a store on Campbell Street in Baker City.

Customers also may see more clinics in Rite Aid Corp. stores and more products like vitamins and supplements aimed at keeping them healthy, as the sectorcontinues to stretch well beyond simply filling prescriptions.

All the major drugstore chains — Walgreens, CVS Health Corp., and Rite Aid — have been revamping theirstores for the pastfew years to make them bigger providersofhealth care

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An inside-the-park home run. A power failure that blacked out the TV audience. Crazy bounces, great plays and key errors.

The longest World Series opener ever had a little bit of everything. And more than five hours after they began, Alcides Escobar and the Kansas City Royals also had just enough energy to outlast the New York Mets.

SavedbyAlex Gordon'styinghome run in the ninth inning off Mets closer Jeurys Familia, the Royals wonin the 14th when Escobar dashed home on Eric Hosmer's sacrifice fly for a 5-4win late Tuesday night.

"It was a great night," Royals manager Ned Yost said.'Two things you don't wantin Game 1 of the World Series: One is to go 14 innings and the other is to lose."

Thistied forlongestSeriesgame everand ended at 12:18 a.m. From the get-go, it was wild and weird.

Escobar hit an inside-the-parker on the very first pitch fiom Matt Harvey. Later, that power problem caused fans and the team's replayrooms at Kauffman Stadium to go dark.

The nearer it got to midnight — and beyond — themore oddly theballbounced.

In the 11th, Salvador Perez grounded a single that hit the third-base bag and caromed high in the air. In the 12th, Daniel Murphy struck out on a pitch that got past Perez— itricocheted offthebackstop tothe Royals catcher, who threw out Murphy at first.

About the only thing missing? A home run

by Murphy, who had connected in a record six straight postseason games. The MVP of the NL Championship Series did contribute a pair of singles.

'Yeah, there was a lot ofbaseball out there," Murphy said.

In the 14th, Escobar reached on an error by third baseman David Wright. Ben

BUSINESS 8 AG LIFE

HONORED Continued from Page 1B Conservation is also of importance to the Young Farmers of the Year, Jedd and Seth Hassinger, who farm on Lower Cove Road.

While one became an Oregon Duck and the other an Oregon State Beaver, both eventually returned home to become farmers. As kids in the days of"handpick" irrigation, they would compete with each other, seeing who could move a quarter mile of pipe faster.

The Hassingers have a strong sensitivity to conservation, participating in programsthatprotectthe environment as well as improve the natural beauty of their farm.

As Jed and Seth once did, their own children now take the seat next to dad on the combine.

Outside of those honored fortheirdirectcontributions to Union County's agriculture, the Farmer Merchant banquet now also acknowledges those who dedicate distinguishedservice to the ag community.

This year, that award went to Craig Nightingale, who "has worked in the banking industry providing service to agriculture producers for over 35 years and has earned great respect and trust &om the producers in the area," said OSU Extension Agronomist Darrin Walenta."Such respect is earned by recognition of not only his skills as a financier but, more importantly, his genuine knowledge and understanding oflocal agriculture and its contribution to Union County's economy."

Other award recipients included: • Dennis and Lisa Murchison — Cattlemen of the Year • Susan Bunch — Ag Woman of the Year • Glen and Ronda Smith — Good Steward Award • Eberhard LoggingForest Steward of the Year

Gary Bracelin moved from Portland to Bend in 1992 and found a plethoraofoutdoorrecreation opportunities, but precious few companies that catered to them.

The city has long attracted skiers and mountain bikers due to its natural setting, but Bracelin said outdoor-product companies — those thatprovide goods or servicesbased on outdoor recreation — have been slow to follow.

"It's always surprised me how creative you have to be to make a living in the outdoor industry in Bend, since we live in an outdoor mecca," Bracelin said.

Today, however, the outdoorproduct industry in Bend is enjoying a moment in the sun. Of the six finalists for early-stage funding at the 2015 Bend Venture Conference, four produced outdoor products or services. The winner, SnoPlanks LLC, a Bend-based early-stage company that manufactures handmade skis and snowboards using bamboo, carbon fiber and fiberglass, was the first outdoor-product company to win money at the conference since Redmond-based RES Equine Products won in 2011.

"Historically, the BVC has been somewhat tech-focused," Bracelin said."In the early stage, there's a lot

Additionally, the industry has a businessaccelerator— Bracelin's Bend Outdoor Worx — that recently entered its third cycle of working with companies. Groups of outdoorproduct companies meet weekly with mentors &om the industry for four months to improve their business plans and operational efficiency.

The companies continue meeting

with mentors on a monthly basis for eight months afterward.

Bend Outdoor Worx recently sponsored the inaugural Bend Outdoor Worx Breakout Award, which granted $10,000 to a winning outdoor company, Robert Axle Project.

In May 2014, the Oregon Outdoor Alliance, an industry cluster designed to connect and cultivate outdoor companies in Central Oregon and beyond, held its first meeting after branching off &om Economic

Development for Central Oregon's "Outdoor Roundtables."

Van Schoessler, sales manager for the outdoor-product company Stanley and a member of Oregon Outdoor Alliance's board of directors, said the cluster currently has around 300 members. Bracelin added thattheorganization's bimonthly meetings function in the same way that EDCO's Pub Talks function for the tech industry, allowing outdoor industry members to meet and network in a casual environment.

"Outdoor people are kind of under the radar; they kind of do their own thing," Bracelin added."There's a lot of talent here, but it wasn't necessarily connected."

Elsewhere in Oregon, outdoor productsarebig business.According to information provided by the Outdoor Industry Association, outdoor recreation, which includes both outdoorrecreation productsalesand travel-r elated spending,generates $12.8 billion in consumer spending and around 141,200 jobs in Oregon alone.

For all of the progress the industry has made in Bend, however, it still faces problems. Schoessler said Bend lacks a large-scale company in the industry, like Nike or Columbia Sportswear, thatcan provide steady jobs for hundreds of employees.

Why? Because we have no idea what is out there. We can't give away our future."

Bentz said the Owyhee proposal sends the message that portions of Eastern Oregon should be carved into preservefora m inority ofusers while local residents face a future of dismal economic alternatives.

"It is, we~ust want to lock you in time," he said.

"Freeze-frame you like you are so we can drive through and look at how you Third World people look. Over in our part of the state we can change anything. You poor clowns, we are going to keep you where you are at. That is what is going on."

Harlansaid acareful distribution of available information could help people understand the true implicati ons ofthe preservation effort, instead of claims thatreinforce fears. ''We have very clear talking points we hope folks understand," she said."But it will depend. Are we going to have 10 minutes or three minutes and are we going to be talked over and shouted at? We don't think their intention is to give us a fair shake."

ATKINSON, N.H.— How about some humility, Donald Tfump?

At a rare town hall event Monday for a man who goes for big rallies, some potential voters wanted toseea common touch from the towerbuilding billionaire in his quest for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

He said in reply that he ate at McDonald's on Sunday, often drives himself and got started in business with a "small loan" of $1 million from his dad.

The event, a televised town hallbroadcast live on the'Today" show, brought together about125 registered votersin a country club ballroom. The intimate environment was a rarity for the GOP frontrunner, who has generally eschewed small events in favor of rallies drawing thousands of rowdy and loyal backers.

While a handful of questionsaddressed Trump's policy positions, many focused on his persona as a brash TV entertainer and whether he possessedthe ability to com e back down to earth.

"I know a lot of people would really want to vote for you if only you would eat a piece ofhumble pie once in a while," said one woman, an undecided registered Republican, who asked Trump whether he had any weaknesses he might share. ''Well I'd like to do that," Trump responded,"but then I'd expose the weaknesses to Putin and everybody else and we don't want to do that, right?"

He was referring to Russian

AP-GfK Poll: Trump is hard sell for Hispanics NEWARK, N.J.— Republican front-runner Donald Trump is widely unpopular among the nation's Hispanics, a newAP-GfK poll finds, challenging the billionaire's oftrepeated assertion that he will win the Hispanic vote if he becomeshisparty's nominee.

The survey finds many of the Republican candidates running for president would probably struggle to win significant support among Hispanics in a general election.

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are their favorites, but even they are a hard sell, the poll suggests.

Even so, most in the field are unknown to enough Hispanics that they might have a shot at proving themselves.

That's a particular struggle for Trump, who began his campaign for president by calling some immigrants from Mexico rapists and has vowed to deport all of the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally if he is elected president. Trump is viewed unfavorably by 72 percent of Hispanics, with 6 in 10 having a very unfavorable opinion of him, the AP-GfK poll finds. Only 11 percent view him favorably.

— The Associated Press President Vladimir Putin.

Another questioner, identified as an undecided Republican, asked Trump whether, with the exception ofhis family, he'd ever been told"no."
