The last election in Tami Green's 14-year stint as Baker County Clerk might be the most complicated. It definitely will be among the more frustrating for Green, the county's chief elections offtcer. The reason, she said, is that she won'tbe ableto provide prompt results on election night for two of the races that voters will be watching keenly. G re e n Those are the Baker City Council race, and the position of Baker County Commission chairman. The issue is that write-in votes will definitely matter in the City Council race, and they might affect the commission chairman race. And with potentially hundreds of write-in votes to count in those two races as well as several others in outlying communities and special districts, even the preliminary tallies won't be available until several days after election day, Nov. 4, Green said.

BRIEFING

Natural gas rates rising by less than 1 percent Baker City residents who heat their homes with natural gas will pay slightly more for their fuel this winter. The Oregon Public Utility Commission on Tuesday approved a request from Cascade Natural Gas to boost its rates by 0.8 percent for residential customers. That will increase the average bill by about 38 cents per month. Cascade will increase rates for commercial customers by 0.3 percent, and for industrial customers by 3.7 percent. The new, higher rates will take effect Nov. 1. Cascade's customers will see a smaller increase than customers of the two other natural gas companies that operate in Oregon. Avista Utilities, which supplies gas to customers in Union County, is increasing its residential rate by 78 percent starting Nov. 1. Northwest Natural Gas, which operates in Northwestern Oregon, is boosting its residential rate by 2 percent.

Ci buys lot for Adler path By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Baker City has bought a parcel near Wade Williams Park that city officials plan to use as a parking area at one end of a new section of the Leo Adler Memorial Parkway. City Manager Mike Kee told city councilors during their meeting Tuesday that the city bought the property, at 945 Resort St., for

$3o,ooo.

The previous owner was Woody Hauter of Baker City, who died Feb. 25 of this year. The 7,500-square-foot parcel, which includes an"uninhabitable" home that will be removed, is southeast of Wade Williams, Kee said. The city wants to build a section of the paved parkway from Myrtle Street south along the Powder River ending at the newly acquired parcel, Kee said. SeePathlPage 5A

TURNING BAcK THE PAGEs 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Oct. 29, 1964 The information leaking out of the so-called "open" meeting of the city councilTuesday night is so meager that the session might as well have been held behind locked ttoors. Mayor Doug E. Benton has guardedly released limited information concerning the session during which the decision to dismiss Chief of Police Fred G. Still was apparently made. City Manager Fred C. Dyer announced yesterday morning that he was dismissing the police chief effective this Saturday. An unconfirmed report was circulating yesterday that the council at theTuesday night meeting decided in a 4-2 decision to dismiss the 49-year-old veteran police officer. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Oct. 29, 1989 The first hurdle for the proposed Sumpter Dredge Tailings State Park was cleared Friday. The Oregon Parks and Recreation division received $25,000 from the state Emergency Board for a feasibility study to place the proposed park on 74 acres bordering Sumpter and encompassing the famous floating dredge. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Oct. 29, 2004 When she talks about the neighboring chapters of the Red Cross, Beverly Higley sounds a bit like a family business owner afraid of being bought out by a corporation. Higley is the executive director of the Eastern Oregon Chapter of the American Red Cross. So far, the chapter has resisted consolidating with either the Bend-based Mountain River Chapter, which spans 16 counties in Oregon and Washington, or Idaho's statewide chapter. She worries services would decline in Baker and Union counties if the chapter pursued consolidation. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Nov. 6, 2013 The Blue Mountain Baptist Church has blossomed from the tiny seed planted by Scott Knox 6/~ years ago. In fact, it has experienced a "Jack and the Beanstalk" type of growth. The church has expanded from just four members to nearly150 since July 2007. That's exactly what the 42-year-old Knox had hoped w ould happen when he and hiswife,Judy,andtheirJack Russell terrier, Kat, moved to Baker City that summer.

roec n on ex Protecting your children from online sexual predators is a tougher task than it used to be. The key word is mobility. A decade ago, in most cases the only portal through which these Internet cretins could get access to your kids was a desktop or laptop computer. These devices are easier to monitor than the smartphones and tablets that are teens' preferred communication tools today. The recent arrest of a Baker City man on charges ofluring a minor and online sexual corruption of a child illustrates the point. Police say the suspect, Arnold Roger Skeels, 45, had sexually explicit online conversations with a 16-year-old Baker City girl who used an iPod. District Attorney Matt Shirtclif said there is evidence that Skeels planned to try to arrange a meeting with the girl. There are technological tools that can help thwart online predators. But a parent's most valuable tool has nothing to do with phone apps or content blockers. It's communication. Parents need not only to keep track of their kids' online activities, but also to talk with them about who they"meet" online. Parents aren't with their kids every moment, of course — but the kids' phones, it seems, are permanently attached. It's more vital than ever, then, for parents to explain to their kids that chatting with a faceless person online could be the most dangerous conversation they ever have. And that's a lesson best conveyed by a face-to-face talk than by a series of texts.

Your views Avoid partisanship, register as an independent Although I favor full disclosure on foodstuffs, and not modifying Nature's perfection, I cannot support this GMO measure. Let's get it right, and continue to grow our own, and buy local. While I support the decriminalization and availability of the herb Cannabis sativa, this measure is not fully thought outenough.IfOregonwants revenue trom taxation then the question of income tax versus sales tax should be addressedagain.Asa society,letusnot threaten the lives of young people. When in doubt, I personally am voting for a woman since they tend to "do the right thing," and for the contender who took the time to come to my door and let me hear his voice and see his eyes. I favor Measures 89, 90, and the continued support of the Pine-Eagle Health District. State constitutions should rarely be amended, and Oregon should avoid debt. Did youknow? Some young peopleof votingage donotregisterbecause they don't feelready to be called to serve on a jury. I hadn't thought of that. Anyone who has served iorattended ajuror's orientation) can understand the moral weight of serving. I find myselfless critical of these individuals. I recommend that ALL thinking voters consider registering as an independent, so the persistent us/them syndrome of partisanship can fall to the wayside, and allow the issue at hand, and person of choice, be what matters.

Discouraged by trash on public, private lands My husband and I own a small acreage in Baker County we drive six miles up a county road through U.S. Forest Servicelands to getto.Itis so discouragingtosee the trash,cansand bottles thrown out along that route and other ForestServiceroads in the area.Mo st recently I found on our property a heap consisting of 82 beer cans, two halfgallonempty vodka bottlesand a red

plastic cup. What does that tell you? Woodcutters, campers, hunters or those who simply enjoy a drive in the forest, please show respectforourpublic lands iand privateproperty)and pack out your cans and bottles to recycle iBaker City has a great recycling center) and your trash to throw out at home. Let's all work together to keep our forests not only"green" but"clean" as well. Marilyn Rowe Ontario

Election is choice between people, corporations Global warming iaka climate change) isevery person'smost important problem, whether they realize it or not. But even so, other and much less important problems must be dealt with along the way while this big, increasingly sinister one cooks along. Lesser problems such as this year's mid-term election which is so critically important this time to those bent on giving total control of the federal government to the GOP, which means to the 1-percenters and greedy corporatists. The beneficiaries iand I don't mean the dummies trying to make it happen) of this possibly coming electoral catastrophe care naught for the majority class of people ithat's us, including those tryingtoohard to bringitabout)nor for their well-being. And even less for democracy, which constitutes a threat to their primacy. So maybe you can guess what is in store for us, if they win this election. It would be nice to have another U.S. golden era that we lowercase Demos dream of, where human well-being once m ore trumpedcorporategreed.Atleast for a little while before global warming destroys us all. But it sure won't happen unless a few of those people who sit on their brains discover the brains in their other end and vote accordingly so that we may retain that sometime possibility. And in case you haven't thought of it yet you will find that it is much easier to vote away our democracy than it is to vote it back. Dan Martin Baker City

Warner has shown lack of leadership Peopletend to forgetthings overtim e, but unfortunately this has stuck in my craw for years. What I mention here would mean immediate dismissal for anyone working for private business on Main Street. First, while local people struggled to pay for gas,food and clothes in 2004, Fred Warner Jr., apparently enjoying the government gravy wagon, handed out $126,000 as a Christmas bonus to county employees who continue to receive raise atter raise in lucrative pay and benefits, greatly outstripping the private sector in this county. On one occasion one richly paid county employee could not even spell the word "assessor" to whose office she was sending me in the courthouse. Another such richly paid employee stole money undetected for 11 months in the Justice Court office in 2011. Second, a couple years ago there were three instances reported in which Baker County funds, well over $24,000, had to be returned because of negligent and incompetent double-dipping. It was also discoveredthat county offi cialsfailed to properly authorize cash transfers to the tune of $302,236. What kind of management skill and oversight responsibility does Mr. Warner and his department heads demonstrate? I wonder if any steps have been taken to set higher standards of performance and honesty for county employees. Third, as previously reported, Mr. Fred WarnerJr.hasdeveloped closeties with much of the political, socialistic and hypocritical nonsense on the west side of Oregon and which stretches all the way to D.C. Contrary to what Mr. Warner believes, I find these socialistic connections compromising, abhorrent and ultimately destructive to the best interests of men, women and children living in Baker County. It's time for a dismissal, asthevotershave already determined in May. Peggy Anderson-Iler New Bridge

ELECTION 2014: OREGON'S BALLOT MEASURE 91

o rmerstate u e u r es' es'voteon e a As a former Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court and with over 30 yearsofexperience asajudge,Ihave reviewed thousands oflaws. I have alsocarefullyread and considered Measure 91, which will regulate, legaliz eand tax the adultuseof marijuana. I believe it is both a solid, well-written law and the right thing todo. As Oregonians this November, we have an opportunity to cast a vote for common sense. The legalization of marijuana is inevitable, but itis important that we do itright. If Measure 91passes, Oregon will have a safer,m oresensiblepolicy on marijuana, with strict controls and protections and much needed

law enforcement and the criminal justice system have spoken outin favor of Measure 91. Another compellingreason to vote Yes on 91is thatwe have the advantage ofbeing the third state to regulate, legalize and tax marijuana. Legai, regulated marijuana is on sale in those two places, and by the time it's on sale in Oregon in 2016 nearly adecadeofexperiencewillbeshared between the three states. Tratfic fatalities are down or flatin Colorado and Washington. Wasteful arrests are down. In Colorado, teen use is down. Both states have already collected millions of dollars in new tax revenue. As you consider your vote, I would encourage you to read the measure

I believe you will see that itis a thoughtfui, carefulapproach thathasearned the endorsement of Oregon newspapers likeThe Oregonian, Eugene Register Guard and the Medford Mail Tribune, alongside an impressive numberofrespectedorganizations representingseniorcitizens,working familiesand health care professionals.

ELECTION 2014

STATE BRIEFING

Waldenhashngeleadincamnaigncash

Oregon testing per-mile road tax as replacement for gas tax SALEM iAPl — Oregon will test a new road tax option that would charge drivers for each mile they travel, instead of the tax now added when filling up at the pump. The state Department of Transportation said the test will start in July with 5,000 volunteers, KGW-TV reported

ihttp J/bit.ly/12UtYLH l. Drivers will be charged 1.5 cents a mile, with their distances tracked through one of several options, including a daily diary, GPS system or odometer device. Drivers in the trial will get a monthly bill, and then the department will follow that with a rebate check to offset the money they already spent on the gasoline tax. Right now, Oregonians pay a gas tax of about 30 cents per gallon. The pay-per-mile program was created as apossible alternativeto thegastax. The department has been warning since at least 2001 that revenues from the gasoline tax will dwindle as vehicles become more efflcient, and it has conducted two rounds of tests involving GPS devices to track mileage. But a bill to set up a per-mile road tax went nowhere in the 2013 session of the Oregon Legislature, where threefifths votes are required to raise taxes. "ODOTs mission is to maintain safe highways for Oregonians. We can't do that if we don't have the funding to do the repairs and the maintenance that we need," said ODOT spokeswoman Michelle Godfrey.'With the gas tax failing, there is going to be a shortfall very, very soon."

KANSAS CITY 10, SAN FRANCISCO 0: WORLD SERIES GOESTO GAME SEVEN

easoncomes own o ame By Ronald Blum AP Sports Wnter

WORLD SERIES GAME 7

KANSAS CITY, Mo.— A couple hundred fans stood behind the Royals dugout for more than a half-hour after the final out, screaming and waving white rally towels. Bring on Game 7! Yordano Ventura, a 23-year-old rookie pitching with a heavy heart and the initials oflate St. Louis outfielder Oscar Taveras on his cap, allowed three hits over seven stifling innings. Kansas City's batters broke open the game with a seven-run second and battered the San Francisco Giants 10-0 Tuesday night to tie the World Series at three games apiece. 'This is what we all prepared for. This is why we play the game," Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. As bouncers rolled by infielders and

• San Francisco at Kansas City • Tonight, 5:07 p.m. • TV on FOX

bloopsdropped in frontofoutfielders, the raucous roar at Kauflman Stadium swelled with every hit in the second and then got louder the rest of the night. Lorenzo Cain looped a two-run single — one of eight Royals to get hits in the seven-run burst — and Hosmer chopped a two-run double over shortstop. "Guys stepped up in a big way tonight," Cain said. Jeremy Guthrie starts Wednesday night for Kansas City and Tim Hudson for San Francisco in a rematch of

Game 3, won by Kansas City 3-2. Hudson, 39, will become the oldest Game 7 starter in Series history. eWe're confident," the Royals' Billy Butler said."Jeremy, every time out, gives us a chance to win." Lurking is Madison Bumgarner, ready to pitch in relief after suffocating the Royals on a total of one run in winning Games 1 and 5. Giants manager Bruce Bochy elected not to start him on two days' rest. "This guy is human. I mean, you can't push him that much," Bochy said. "He'll be available if we need him, but to start him, I think that's asking a lot." Kansas City can be comfortable in this bit ofhistory: Home teams have won nine straight Game 7s in the Series since Pittsburgh's victory at Baltimore in 1979, including the Royals' 11-0 rout of St. Louis in 1985.

VOTES

Continued from Page1A Montoya replaces John Laurence, who started at Wallowa-Whitman in January 2012. Laurence announced earlier this year that he would be takinga new job asspecialassistant to theregional forester at the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region officein Portland. Laurence's new boss, Regional Forester Jim Pena, announced Montoya's appointment in a press release Tuesday morning. M ontoya's ForestService career started almost 30years ago and includes stints on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada and the Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho. Since being named as deputy supervisor on the Wallowa-Whitman, Montoya was given a temporary assignment as acting supervisor for the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Idaho. "Ifeelreally honored tohavebeen selected forthejob as your Forest Supervisor," Tom said. "It is a job I will not take lightly. The employees of this wonderful Forest inspire me every day to be and do my best for the WallowaWhitman, our employees, and the communities we serve."

Baker City Council With three candidates on the ballot — Benjamin Merrill, R. MackAugenfeld and James Thomas — but four positions on the sevenmember City Council to be filled, at least one person will be elected by write-in votes. Green said the county's electi ons board won'tstart counting write-in votes until Thursday, Nov.6. She expects to have preliminary results by early the following week, but she cautions that she might not be able to

certify the write-in totals for a couple of weeks. The person who receives the most write-in votes, and who is both eligible to serve icandidates must have lived within the city limits for at leastoneyearpriorto theelectionl and willing to serve, will be elected. If any other residents receive more write-in votes than any of the three candidates listed on the ballot, and are also eligible and willing to serve, those people would be elected as well. The topthreevote-getters will serve four-year terms on the City Council, starting in January 2015. The fourth-place finisher will serve a two-year term. The terms for Mayor Clair Button and Councilors Roger Coles, Dennis Dorrah and Barbara Johnson expire Dec. 31, 2014. Due to the dause in the city charter that limits councilors to serving no more than two consecutive terms, neither

Dorrah nor Button is eligible to run forre-election. Coles and Johnson, though eligible to run for re-election, declined to do so.

Baker County Commission Chairman The role of write-in votes is less certain in this case than with the Baker City Council race. There's only one candidate on the ballot — Bill Harvey, who beat incumbent Fred Warner Jr. by about 500 votes in the Republican primaryin May. iThere were no Democratic candidates for the position.) But Warner announced earlier this month that although he is not campaigning for a fourth four-year term as chairman of the county's three-member board of commissioners, he would accept the job were he elected by write-in votes. Green said state election law requires her to count write-in votes in this race only if the total of write-in votes ifor any person, not just Warnerl equals or is greater than the number of votes Harvey receives. However, she said she understands that voters, and residents in general, are interested in the outcome.

"Clearly we've got something going on," Green said. "It's taxpayers money I would be spending ito count write-in votes) and I'm always aware of that. Myinstincts are telling me people would want me to icount the write-in votes if the total is close to the total of votes for Harvey)." If Green decides to count write-ins, or if she's mandated to do so because the total equals or exceeds Harvey's vote total, she said that, as with the Baker City Council race, she probably won't have preliminary results until early in the week after election day.

Write-ins: spelling doesn't count (usually) The issue of exactly how voters write in a person's name came up in the county commission chairman race. That's because the incumbent is Fred Warner Jr. Voters who write"Fred Warner" and don't include"junior"will not have their votes counted as they intended, Green said. She said elections officials can't assume that voters intended to vote for Fred Warner Jr. rather than for his father, Fred Warner. So what about other people who might receive write-in votes? Spelling, in general, is not a major issue, Green said. For instance, to use a hypothetical, if a voter writes "Bob Smith" even though the person's official name is"Robert" Smith, elections officials can count that vote for Smith so long as there aren't other eligible people with the same name, Green said. Also, minor misspellingssay,"Kristyn"instead of"Kristin" — don't invalidate a vote, again so long as there isn't another eligible person whose name is identical to what a voter wrote on the ballot.

his is the time of year when many businesses are reviewing, refocusing and planning for the New Year. As the planning process unfolds, there is hope that great things will take place, that breakthrough relationships, products and possibilities will surface and come to fruition. The big caveat, often unstated, is that if the leadersin theorganization don't, won't or can't change, the business results are not likely to change much either. The biggest shame for any leaderisplanning fora great year only to have to face the brutalfactsattheend ofthe year when the business is in worse condition than when the year started. If you want a better 2015, I recommend that five promises be made and kept during the planning process and throughout the New Year. First, vow to stop selling vanilla ice cream. Continuing to sel la"me too"commodity only leads to shrinking margins. Many companies get into the trap of selling on price because they have not correctly positioned themselves in the market, but more importantly, because there is no viable reason for a buyer to pay more. The leadership of a growing company is always on the hunt for a more compelling competitiveadvantage and the search for higher margins by developing products that are worthy and deserving ofhigher prices. Second, retain the best and eitherengage orreplacethe rest. Every business is based on the quality of the people working in the organization. The challenge of every leaderisto retain thevery best managers and to engage as many employees as possible.

A sudden plunge in mortgage rates last week raised an urgent question for millions of Americalls:

Should I refinance my mort-

gage? Across the country, homeowners and would-be homeowners eagerfora bargain ratefired off inquiries to lenders. The opportunity emerged from the tumult that seized financial markets and sent stock prices and bond yields tumbling. Rates on long-term mortgages tend to track the 10-year Treasury yield, which fell below 2 percent for the first time since May 2013. Accordingly, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage, mortgage giant Freddie Mac

reported, dipped below 4 percent to 3.97percent — a tantalizing figure. As recently as January, the average was 4.53 percent. Ultra-low ratesdocarry risks as well as opportunities.

ONTARIO — Onion growers in Eastern Oregon say their customers may be more demanding than the federal government has been in setting new rules for irrigation water quality.

NEW YORK — Soaring inflation. A collapsing dollar. Bubbles in financial markets that would soon pop. One presidential candidateeven suggested that theFederal Reserve chairman should be roughed up. Over the past five years, as the Fed has pumped ever-more moneyinto the financial system, critics have warned that it would lead to all kinds of disasters. Yet the central bank kept extendingits bond-buying program, known by the wonky name of quantitative easing, or QE. It was an unprecedented effort aimed at lowering borrowing costs, encouraging spending and reviving a dormant economy before it could slip backinto recession. Now, $4 trillion later, QE is drawing to a close, so the question is: Did it work? Economists have plenty of quibbles, but many agree that the Fed accomplished the bulk of its goals. "Look at us now," says Anthony Chan, chief economist for Chase Private Client in New York. All of the jobs lost during the financial crisis have been recovered. The stock market has more than doubled, and inflation has remained tame. "I have to say it was a pretty impressive success," Chan says."But other people define success differently." At the tail end of 2008, the Fed cutits benchmark short-tenn lendingrate to arecord low to spur growth, then made an historic move.

It began the firstround of QE,buying $100 billionin bonds backed bymortgages every

month. The Bush administration had already hatched a number ofrescue progrms aimed at patchingup the banking system, and so the Fed's initial step met little resistance. Liz Ann Sonders, the chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, compared the Fed's action to a famous scene in the movie "Pulp Fiction" when Vincent, played by John Travolta, revivesa woman near death. "It was like Travolta slamming the needle into her heart," Sonders says."It was clearly the right thing to do." The Fed's second round of quantitative easing, dubbed QE2, received a hostile reception. In late August 2010, the economy had slowed to a crawl, and the big worry was deflation — a dangerous spiral of falling prices and wages. During a speech that month in JacksonHole,Wyoming, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke outlined a turnaround plan.

The Fed began buying $600 billion in U.S. government bonds that November to loud protests. QE3 followed the next year, and the heatedrhetoricincreased. John Boehner, the speaker of the House, argued that the Fed risked creating"hardto-control" inflation, a weak U.S. dollar and market bubbles. After entering the presidential campaign in 2011, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that it would be"almost treasonous"if Bernanke"prints more money" ahead of the election. Perry told an Iowa crowd"we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas."

But that assumption fell suddenly into doubt as stocks plunged amid fearsabout globaleconomic weaknesses, the spread of Ebola and the threat of the Islamic State militia group in the Middle East. Seeking safety, investors poured money into U.S. Treasurys. Higher demand drivesup pricesforthose governmentbonds and causes theiryieldsto drop.

$221,000, a 0.5 percentage point decline in a mortgage rate would produce savings of $50 a month, according to a Bank of America analysis. Still, it takes time for the savings to offset the costs of refinancing. 'There's no free lunch in this," noted Gary Kalman, executivevice president at the Center for Responsible Lending.

WEDNESDAY,OCTOBER29, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you are dead set on being remembered - but for what may not be clear while you are young. Indeed, the goal itself will inspireyou, while the road to achieving it may remain something of a mystery for a time. You are one of the most independent individuals born under your sign, and you will always be attracted to endeavors that allow you to assert your individuality and prove that your way is the bestway. Youdon't enjoy doing what you are told, and you are not always compelled to follow the rulesbut you will surely do so ifyou feel that personal safety depends on it! You arenot a fool, and you recognize when there are dangers that can beavoided simply by doing whatyou are supposed to do.
