• About a dozen parents attend the first of the Baker School District's planned 'math night' events

TRICK OR TREATING DOWNTOWN ON SATURDAY 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.

About a dozen parents with children in Grades 7-9 gathered at Baker High School Wednesday night to learn more about why a new mathprogram isneeded. A week earlier, more than 50 people lodged complaints with the Baker School Board about how the new program was rolled out, and asked the board to make changes. As Wednesday's session got under way, parents viewed a 9-minute video (available online at vimeo.com/110807219l titled 'Why is Math Different Now," by Dr. Raj Shah. Shah is the owner and founder of Math Plus Academy (mathplusacademycoml. In the video, Shah explained that the "new math" is designed to help all students learn math skills by teaching them the concepts behindtheprocedures used to solve problems. ''We have decades of research showing that teaching people to just memorize algorithms and execute procedures doesn't work," he said."It worked for a sm allgroup ofpeople, but most people don't like math, don't enjoy math and don't think they're good at math." And that's because they weren't taught to understand the concepts, he said.

Oregon, 6A PORTLAND (AP)Oregon wildlife officials are recommending that wolves be removed from the state's Endangered Species Act list. The state's Fish and Wildlife Commission will vote on the recommendation at its Nov. 9 meeting in Salem. Eighty-one wolves now live in Oregon. Wildlife officials said the species is not in danger of extinction here. But some independent scientists disagree with that conclusion. Kathy Orr/Baker City Herald

Local government agencies are mobilizing to rehabilitate lands burned in the Cornet/ Windy Ridge fire in August south and east of Baker City. The 104,000-acre lightningsparkedfi re,thebiggestblaze in Baker County history, has leftground devoid ofvegetation and thus vulnerable to debris flows that could damage roads and threaten people and their homes. Baker County, the U.S. Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODFl are working to reduce that risk.

The Forest Service has allocated $341,000 to install or clean culverts in the Stices Gulch area south of Baker City. The goal is to reduce the risk of mud slides and floods, along drainages like this one, that could block the road and trap residents in the rural area.

Larry Sandoval, the natural resourcesstaffofftcerforthe Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, is coordinating efforts

aidedby $341,000from the Forest Service's Burned Area Emergency Response (BAERl program. The work is concentrated in the Stices Gulch area along Forest Road 1130, where the Cornet fire destroyed one home and several outbuildings on Aug. 14 before burning together with the Windy Ridge fire. Erosion control is the main goalto reduce the risk ofdebris flowsand fl ooding. "Much of our work is related

to making sure the road is open in case of emergency," Sandoval said.'The focus is on emergency egress." W orkers are cleaning debris from culverts, and they might replace some culverts with larger-diameter pipes to handle increased flows. Besides the culvert work, crews will spread chipped or shredded wood mulch in 200-foot-wide swathes on steeper slopes above the 1130 Road to absorb moisture and prevent mud slides that could block the road below.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 30, 1965 The Baker Bulldogs met with the stonewall defense of the Redmond Panthers last night at Baker High Stadium as they were defeated by the score of 27 to 6 in their last home game of the season. The Panther defense were constantly filtering through the mistake filled Bulldog offense making Baker settle for short yardage gains or losses. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 30, 1990 The HELP Inc. auction and dance Saturday, along with cash donations, netted about $8,500. "We're really pleased," said Sherry Schaer, HELP manager for Baker County. The money will be used to reduce Baker County's share of a deficit incurred over the past several years among three counties served by the agency. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 31, 2005 Threemen are in custody on charges they stuff ed a doe down the vault toilet at Bishop Springs rest area. A Bureau of Land Management cleaning crew discovered the crime late Friday morning, said Baker County Parks Director Lorrie Harvey. The blood was still fresh at the time of the discovery, and the doe was apparently struck by a vehicle, she said "There was blood everywhere," Harvey said of the rest area. "They'd stuffed the doe all the way into the tank." ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 31, 2014 In spite of a lack of cryptosporidium oocysts found in Baker City's water since August of 2013, there is still a full assault against the gut-wrenching organisms. The city's public works department has been using a portable ultraviolet light (UV) purification system in the war against cryptosporidium since March. A new and permanent UV purification plant is almost completed and will be online next month for an initial startup. "UV doesn't technically kill it (crypto), it inactivates it," said City Engineer Doug Schwin. "Basically the UV zaps through it, alters its DNA so it can't reproduce."

LUCKY LINES, Oct. 29

PENDLETON iAPl — A journalist has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court at Pendleton against Baker City and Police Chief Wyn Lohner and his officers. Brian Addison, 50, a former reporter for The RecordCourier, claims Lohner and otheroffi cersretaliated against him after he wrote an editorial criticizing the department in 2008. The complaint was filed Thursday by Addison's attorneys with the Portland law firm Sussman Shank. Addison claims the police department continually harassed him and provided falseinformation that led to his dismissal from a job he took after he left the newspaper. In a telephone interview today, Lohner denied Addison's allegations ofharassment. "Any accusation of targeting for any reason is totally

AUTHORS Continrred~om Page1A "There'sa lotofpeople already giving back to this community," she said. The concern, Anderson said, and part of the impetus for the book, is that many nonprofit organizations, especially in rural parts of the state, are seeing theircadre of volunteers dwindle. ''We're hearing that things are reaching a crisis point," Anderson said."There's an urgency, and a sense of frustration." The dilemma has much to do with demographics, she sald. In places such as Baker County, where the average age is 48, or 12 years older than the Oregon average, groups that rely largely, or solely, on volunteers often struggle to recruit new, younger members. "Olderpeople are some of the most passionate volunteers," Anderson said. Baker County is fortunate to be the beneficiary of Leo Adler, one of Oregon's more renowned, and generous, benefactors.

'The Baker City Police Department doesn't stop people because we don't like them or because they've made defamatory comments against us," he added.'We stop people for violations of the law." Central to the lawsuit is an editorial Addison wrote on March 6, 2008, titled "How About a Favorable Interpretation of the 4th Amendment." In a copy of the editorial included with the complaint, Addisonrefersto the police department's use of its drugdetecting dog, Turbo, during the 1Astate basketball tournament, which he felt violated constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure. "It looked like just a nice random stroll, and fishing expedition, oh, and a violation of the 4th Amendment," he wrote.

projects, some with a decidedly rural flavor, that seem to be growing in popularity. One is what's generally known as the "farm to table" movement. The basic idea is that people want to know where their food comes from — and if possible to be able to meet the farmers and ranchers who produce it. Ultimately she and Chaille hope their book willinvigorate Oregonians' innate sense of community and generosity.

A Baker County Circuit Court judge declined to issue a restraining order and dismissed the citation a few days later, according to the complaint. Despite the dismissal, the complaint states Baker City police followed Addison's car repeatedly between June 2008 and April 2010. Sometimes the police officerswould pull Addison over for alleged trafIc violations but never issued anything beyond a warning. Addison moved to Enterprise in 2010 to workas a reporterfortheW allowa County Chieftain but eventually left the job and returned to Baker City in 2012.

His new position was publicized in a Nov. 10, 2014, Baker City Herald article. Based on information &om the Oregon BureauofLabor and Industries, Addison alleges a Baker City police officer called the New Directions clinical directorafterreading theHerald article and urged her to file a public records request with local law enforcement. In response to its record request, New Directions was sent a"fact file" compiled by the Baker County SherifFs OIIIce and an incident report &om the 2008 civil stalking citation. Lohner said a"fact file" is a dispatchcreatedrecord ofcontactsbetween citizensand thepolice department. According to the complaint, the "fact file" falsely states Addison was ticketed 11 timessince 2009 and liststhe 2008 civil stalking citation without noting its dismissal.

in my class," Knudson-Martin said. 'You want your son or daughter to learn procedures well, but you also want them to learn the conceptual background that makes those procedures work." Teaching only procedural math doesnotengage allstudents,he said. ''We can't teach the puzzle-based procedural math and engage students," he said."Districts should not be choosing between procedures and concepts." While the procedural math engages students who plan to pursue degrees in engineering, physics and math, others will be left behind, Knudson-Martin said Chris Carmiencke, Baker Middle School principal, led parents through an exercise that encouraged them to follow eight mathematical practices: • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Constructviablearguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics.

Addison believes the documents given to New Directions were the primary reason for his dismissal, noting he received benefits paperwork the day before his termination. He also allegesthe "fact file" and incident report were created by the Baker City Police Department and not the sheritFs office. Since leaving New Directions, the complaint states Addison has been workingas a contractreporterforthe Baker County Press and no longer reports on Baker City news. For fear of further retaliation, Addison moved out of Baker City. Addison is seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees through his lawsuit. One of Addison's attorneys condemned the Baker City Police Department in a statement. 'The right of journalists to report freely on government activity is crucial to our democracy," Cliff Davidson of Sussman Shank said."The actions of the Baker City police send a disturbing message to Baker City residents: If you criticize police here, you will be punished." — Chris Collins contributed to this story.

• Use appropriate tools strategi-

cally. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. The secret to helping students get started working in unfamiliar territory is to start at a low threshold that most can work fiom and challenge them with increasingly more diKcult problems, Carmiencke said. Kristin Spaulding, who teaches math at the middle school, led parents through a graphing exercise they worked out in teams. Molly Smith, assistant principal and math coach at Brooklyn Primary School, said the parents' enthusiasm for the exercise was a reflection of the same brainstorming and excitement for math that she sees going on among students in the classroom. Several parents in Wednesday's groupsaid thereseemed to have been some changes in the past week that were helpful to their children.

Lori Schaafsma told those on the tour that she believes their ranch had a calf killed by OR-4 in May 2010, but ODFW wouldn't confirm it, even though U.S. Wildlife Services believed it to be a wolf kill. "It's my word against the experts," she said, noting that nearly all of her neighbors near Sheep Creek Ridge have beenaffected by wolves. Todd Nash, who chairs the Wolf Task Force for the Oregon Cattlemen's Association, said there is no real way fora producer to dispute the ruling that a loss was not a wolf kill. "Our appeals process, we feel like, is futile," he said. Nash said he is working with three legislative goals in mind. One, delist wolves. Two, provide adequate funding for nonlethal deterrents such as range riders. Thirdly,

Matthews said she has grown angry at the situation, realizing that if she leaves her kids outside to play with the dogs, they might all be in danger. "I just wanted you to know that's what we're living with," she said. That sentiment was echoed later in the day by producers near Sheep Creek

The Baker County Livestock Producers Foundation has awarded two $500 scholarships to Luke Coomer of Baker City and Sierra Sanders of Richland. The scholarships go to second-year college students studying an agriculture-related subject. Coomer is a student at Oregon State University in Corvallis and Linn-Benton Community College at Albany. His major is agriculture science/agriculture education. He holds an American FFA degree and remains active with FFA at the college level. Saunders attends Treasure Valley Community College at Ontario where she is studying ranch management. Private donations and memorial contributions to the Foundation make it possible to offer scholarships each year without using any of the fund's principal.

he is looking into a human health and safety bill as it concerns wolves getting close to homes. He envisions that bill as one that would allow for the legal taking of wolvesthatcome close to homes. "I feel really strongly about it," said Nash, noting that loss of livestock is not desirable but that danger to children, particularly his great-nieces and great-nephews, Matthews' children, is far more concerning.

In response to a question about how the district is responding to students who understand the"new math," Palmer, who has a background in gifted education, said that discussion is continuing. In addition to offering more parent math nights, the district plans to form a Parent Advisory Council to continue discussions on a variety of topics, she said. District stafFand administrators are continuing to visit other schools to study their math practices, Palmer said. They also are meeting with college representatives to improvestudent preparation forhigher education. And they will be reviewing curriculum in the coming months.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) needs more customers. Which is to say, the agency needs to entice more people to buy licenses entitling them to go hunting and fishing. Yet ODFW seems to be focusing instead on making the declining portion of the population that does hunt and fish pay more for the privilege. We'd rather the agency inject some entrepreneurial initiative into its bureaucracy. We're not, to be sure, suggesting that ODFW should never increase license and tag fees. Inattion affects the management of elk and rainbow trout just as it does your bill at the supermarket. But the bigger dilemma for ODFW, as we mentioned at the outset, is that fewer people are buying its products. In 2013 just 8.3 percent of Oregonians ages 12 to 69 bought a hunting license, and 17.4 percent of those ages 14 to 69 bought a fishing license. The comparable percentages from 1975 were 18.9

percent (hunting) and 34.6 percent (fishing). Oregon's population increased substantially during that period, certainly, but the problem of declining interest in hunting and fishing remains. Just as a business will oAer incentives to lure new customers, we think ODFW should reduce the cost, rather than increase it, for people who have never bought a hunting or fishing license, or who haven't done so for, say, the past two years. The agency could also trim the price ofhunting licenses for people who have applied for, but not drawn, a tag for a particular controlled hunt for two consecutive years. Ultimately, ODFW needs to attract new customers and avoid losing more of its current ones. A more creative fee schedule could help the agency do both.

Veterans Administration plan for local primary healthcare a good one Editorial from The (La Grande) Observer: In termsofgood ideas,the concept spearheaded by the Veterans'Administration to push primary health care to local communities stands out. The blueprint is possible through the Veterans'Access, Choice and Accountability Act, ratified by Congress in 2014, and theidea isto allow veterans that qualify to acquire health care locally. The idea is a good one because, in the past, veterans in remote areas — such as EasternOregon — faced the prospect of traveling to Portland, Walla Walla, Washington, Spokane, Washington, or Boise, Idaho,to receive care. A story in this newspaper recently put a light on how the new paradigm impacts the Johnathan. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla.

Currently the Walla Walla VA operates five community-based outpatient clinics — including on in La Grande — to service veterans. Instead of simply being a provider, the VA, through the program, also purchases care for vets in small townships across our remote region. The idea married so closely to commonsense it is difficult, at first, to grasps its implications. Yet it is a concept that deservesa greatdealofpraise.The VA has spent a good share of the past few years highlighted in the media for things that are going wrong. This program is clearly an example of what can be done right. There are more than 300,000 veterans living in Oregon and about 240,000 of them are combat veterans. Of those, 139,000 are between the ages of 68 and

I own other maps which depict the Fisherman's Road as the Cherry Creek Road, but this also strikes me as a misnomer since the canyon theroad follows was in factsculpted by Birch Creek. Cherry Creek is a couple drainages to the south. The first time I ventured on the Fisherman's Road, as best I can remember, was in 1994. I was with my dad. He had a 1984 Ford Ranger that was equipped with an asthmatic four-cylinder engine but was, fortunately, a slender rig. We thought then that the trip was rather an epic adventure, and although my memory is not exactly crystalline, I'm certain the road has only gotten worse in the ensuing two decades.

84. Those numbers tell us that the need forveteran'shealth care isn'tgoingto shrink or go away. In fact, the cost of the recent decade-long war on terror — in terms of dollarsto careforourveterans — will balloon in the future. So a program that pushes health care down to the lowest possible levelsmalltowns scattered acrossOregon's heartland — makes a tremendous amount of sense. Forcing an injured, ill or aging veteran to endure two, three or four hour highway trips to get to a VA medical center in a city such as Boise or Spokane just isn't practical. The plight of ourveteransin their attempt to acquire healthcare is one we can't simply walk away from.

Sandoval said mulching is m ore eff ective aserosion control on the steeper slopes because seeds can be washed of the hillside before they germinate in the spring. But seeding has another purpose. It can help to mitigate the establishment of invasive weeds that can outcompetenativevegetation. Nativespecies,given some protectio n from invasives,can often recover quickly after a fire, Sandoval said. It's likely that viable seeds from native species are still in the soil, except in the most severely burned areas. "I think folks will be surprised in how much natural growth will occur in the next couple of growing seasons," he said. Nature has already helped with erosion control in the form of falling mulch. "A lot of needles have fallen from the trees in the moderately burned areas," Sandoval said.'We feel relatively good about the situation. The natural needle cast is very encouraging." The photo on Page 1A shows the layer of ponderosa pine needles in areas around Stices Gulch. When the burned area was assessed for BAER money, computer models did not predictsevere erosion damage. 'The erosion modeling didn't show that erosion damage would be alarmingly high, which is surprising for the steep slopes in the area," Sandoval said. Those models help the Forest Service determine how much money to allocate. Forest Service fire crews are also falling burned trees that pose a risk to the contractorsworking on the road. ''We don't want to put contractors at risk while they are working," he said. Sandoval said the Forest

Before those stations were installed, the nearest rain gauges were at Hereford, several miles to the south, and at Blue Canyon several miles to the north. The Boise office of the National Weather Service will broadcast an emergency alert if an excessive amount ofrain falls at either site in a short amount time —.17 of an inch in 15 minutes, .25 in 30 minutes or half an inch in an hour. That allows Baker County to use its mass notification system, Code Red ia reverse911 system),to alert residents of any weather advisories.

''We're not sure how much raincouldtriggercatastrophic flooding."

salesin grocery stores By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

PORTLAND — A group backed by Oregon grocerystores fi led paperwork Wednesday fora ballotm easure that would allow grocers and otherretailersto sell liquor. The proposal, which couldgo beforevotersin the 2016 election, would end the state's monopoly that dates to the end of Prohibition in the 1930s. Currently, only the state can import and distribute liquor from its warehouse in Milwaukie. Hard alcohol is sold exclusively at state-l icensed stores that keep a percentage ofthe proceeds. The initiative would allow private liquor distribution and warehousing. Most retailers that currently sell beer and wine could also sell distilled spirits, though gas stations would still be prohibited. 'They already know how to responsibly sell alcoholic beverages," said Pat McCormack, a spokesman for Oregonians for Competition, the group created to pursue the initiative. "Let's cut the state out of the business of selling liquor and increase its focus on alcohol law enforcement." The initiative also would strengthen penalties for people who sell alcohol to minors.

SALEM iAPl — Investigators say a man who was shot and killed by police along Interstate 5 on Wednesday had pointed a loaded gun at a state trooper. The Marion County SherifFs OIIice on Thursday identified the man as 36-year-old Jasper Levi Adams of Grants Pass. Authorities say a trooper tried to stop Adams south of Woodburn but he fled. The pursuit came to a stop off the roadway south of Salem. When troopers moved in to arrest the driver, authorities say he pointed a gun at them. Senior Trooper Jason Perrizo fired one shot that killed Adams instantly. He's been with the state police for 13 years. I-5 was closed for several hours Wednesday night while investigators worked at the scene.

The Statesman Journal reports that Mark Jensen says he watched a large cat carry away his dog, Bub, at his house near Sublimity early Wednesday morning. He told Marion County Sheriff's deputies that the animal cornered the Yorkie on the porch before carrying it away. Jensen describes the cat as weighing between 35 and 50 pounds with brown and white markings. The Marion County Sheriff's Office, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon State Policeare determining the appropriate response.

TEMPE, Ariz.— Bralon Addison got his foot down just in time, barely missing the back line of the end zone. Arrion Springs timed his move just right, snagging an interception in the same end zone. Two big plays on a night filled with them may have saved Oregon's season. Addison scored on a 20yard pass in the third overtime on a play upheld by review and Springs intercepted Mike Bercovici's pass in the end zone, lifbng Oregon to a wild 61-55 win over Arizona State Thursday night.

Itcame down to apairof plays in the third overtime. Addison appeared to touch the back line on his TD catch, but one view of the play was blocked by a camera and the officials upheld the original call upon review. After Oregon (5-3, 3-2 Pac12l failed on the mandatory 2-point conversion, Springs sealed it with an interception, sending the Ducks racing onto the field.

"October 7, 2003 will always be the day that divides our life. Before that day our son Ryan was alive. A sweet, gentle and lanky thirteen year old fumbling his way through early adolescence and trying to establish his place in the often confusing and difficult social world of middle school. After that day he would be gone forever, a death by suicide. Some would call it bullycide or even cyber bullycide. We just call it a huge hole in our hearts that will never heal.... Nothing can ever bring back our Ryan. Nothing will ever heal our broken hearts. But we hope by sharing the personal details of our tremendous loss, another family will have been spared a lifelong sentence to this kind of pain." http://www.ryanpatrickhalligan.org Hear more about cyber bullying and teen suicidefrom John Halligan as he shares his story and what he has learned with you.

WEEICLY FISHING REPORT GRANDE RONDE RIVER • Steelhead are currently being caught in modest numbers. A bump in flowwill prompt fish to migrate up the Grande Ronde and produce better fishing. The outlook for steelhead is currently very good for 2015-16 with nearly 21,000 Wallowa/Imnaha fish to pass Bonneville Dam, much higher than the average of 14,000. IMNAHA RIVER • The Imnaha River is currently low with some very warm temperatures. However, a few steelhead have passed the lower Passive IntegratedTransponder tag array, indicating some fish are making their way upriver. Watch for a bump in flows to bring some fish in from the Snake River. WALLOWA RIVER • Steelhead season is open. However, fishing doesn't normally pick up until later in the year and into the spring. Trout fishing has been good on the river with angers finding some nice fish. Fall caddis and mayfly hatches have been good and fish seem to be keying in on them. • The Wallowa is also a whitefish factory and can produce some large fish. Whitefish are native to Oregon and are a respected sportfish across the West. Whitefish can be great in the smoker and are a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing. WALLOWA LAKE • Trout fishing has slowed. However, the pressure has dropped off with the end of the summer season. During the fall, stocked trout have been in the lake long enough they start to learn to eat natural food. Try fishing with flies and other more natural baits. The lake has received additional rainbow trout stocking due to other area water bodies being too hot to receive fish. This means the lake has been heavily stocked with both legal-size and trophy trout. Source: ODRN

HUNTING

BAKER MAN BAGS HIS DREAM BILLY GOAT

Russell Elms with a mountain goat billy he killed with his bow and arrow during a once-in-a-lifetime hunt Oct. 19 in the Elkhorn Mountains northwest of Baker City. By Jayson Jacoby

VVescom News Serwce

Russell Elms had crept close to the mountain goat, close enough almost to ruffle its thick white hair had he wanted to try, when he nocked an arrow and pulled the string on his bow. He stood, ready to fulfill a hunting dream more than two decades old. The massive billy was just 12 yards away. In less than a second this huntthe only one of its kind Elms would ever have — could end. He slowly released the tension on the bowstring. The billy rumbled ofF toward a clifF in the Elkhorn Mountains where nothing short of a helicopter could get atit. Elms watched the goat go. He was confident he had chosen wisely. "It just didn't feel right," said Elms, 45, of Baker City."I didn't want it to be arushed situation." Which is not to say Elms felt no pressure.

He had,afterall,drawn a mountain goat tag in Oregon's annual hunting lottery system. The state won't allow him a second tag nomatter how many years he hunts. But as he stood watching the billy, bow at full draw, Elms knew it was only the first day of his Oct. 17 to Oct. 25 hunt. He had scouted the Elkhorns, a range he knows intimately, a range where dozensofbilliesroam. And Elms didn't want to degrade the experience by obsessing about its uniqueness, by worrying that every billy he saw might represent his last chance. That, he decided, was the only way to ruin a once-in-a-lifetime hunt. He was certain that when he found the right billy — not the biggest, or the one with the thickest or longest horns, but the right one for him — he would recognize it. That didn't happen the second day, Oct. 18. In the morning, Elms was ham-

peredby a thick fog thatdraped over the peaks and high ridges of the Elkhorns, where the goats congregate. The fog lifted in the afternoon and he hiked the Elkhorn Crest Trail with his friend, Dan Blankenship, also of Baker City. eWesaw some really nice billies," Elms said. In all they spotted 27 billies that

day. But the ones that intrigued Elms were on nearly vertical ground, places where no sensible hunter would even considering shooting for fear they'd never retrieve the animal. One billy in particular caught Elms' eye, though, and he decided to return on Oct. 19 and see ifhe could "make aplay on him." A little before noon, he did. But the stalk didn't go quite as Elms intended. "I actually went past him once, without him knowing I was there," he said. Around 1 p.m., he was in position to take a shot from 50 yards.

bedded down. Elms moved to a spot from which he could fire a second arrow — not because the first didn't strike a mortal wound, but because the mountain goat, he said, is the toughest animal he's ever hunted. "That first arrow would have killed a bull elk," Elms said. When he reached the billy, Elms was not merely satisfied. He was elated. "It was the perfect billy," he said. Phillip Perrine, who works at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Baker City oSce and examined Elms' goat, said the billy was 13-V2 years old. Based on ODFWs records, that's the oldestamong the 90 or sobillies that hunters have killed in the Elkhorns since the state started allowing hunting there in 1997. ODFW released 21 goats in the Elkhorns between 1983 and 1986. SeeSuccess/Page 2C

First elk rifle season draws to a close Sunday

Turkey Shoot slated for Nov. 8 in Cove

Baker County:Elk numbers are good in most units. Elk may be scattered and hard to locate. Look in areas of green-up from late summer rains. It has been dry for the last several weeks and there has not been much green-up in the lower elevations. Union County: Elk hunters can expect some moist conditions for the first rifle season. Older bulls will be away from cow groups for the most part, recovering from the rut. Look for spikes and young bulls to be with larger herds. Snow likely won't be an issue for first season but could be a consideration for second season. Wallowa County:Hunters can expect good success as elk numbers are generally above management objective. Further, some rain has fallen recently and fall green-up is underway, which provides improved feed conditions and allows the elk to spread.

Tips for 3oAnn

• Choose your caregivers ahead of time. Not all carriers cover midwives, and some that do require certifications not all midwives have. If you want a certain obstetrician to deliver your baby, make sure that provider is innetwork in the policy you choose. •Focuson out-of-pocketm aximums over premiums. The cost of giving birth — a procedure for which St. Charles Bend charges roughly $13,000 if there are no complications — will without a doubt send an individual over their out-of-pocket maximum, after which point the insurer pays for all covered services in their entirety. (The highest out-of-pocket maximum in 2016 is $6,850.) For that reason, several experts recommended going with either gold or platinum plans, which have much higher premiums than bronze or silver plans, but also have far lower out-of-pocket maximums. Moda's gold plan, for example, will have a $5,500 out-of-pocket maximum in 2016 and cost a 33-year-old about $360 per month. Providence's gold plan, meanwhile, has a $4,000 out-of-pocket maximum in 2016 and costs about $354 per month for a 33-yearold. • Many services are covered, but not all. The Affordable Care Act requires insurers cover with no out-of-pocket costs a number of preventative health services regardless of type of plan. That includes a number of recommended screenings for pregnant women (gestational diabetes, Hepatitis B, anemia, etc.), folic acid supplements for w omen who might become pregnant and check-ups. Once the baby is born,theACA also requires insurers cover vaccinations, breastfeeding supplies and counseling and screenings for development, behavior, blood pressure, vision and autism, among other things. It's worth checking a policy's ultrasound coverage, as some doctors might order more of these tests if they have concerns. • Plan ahead! Pregnancy is not one of the federally designated "qualifying events" that allow people to sign up for health insurance or switch policies outside of open enrollment. That means once you get pregnant, you're stuck with the plan you have.

• Worst-case scenario, make sure you can cover the out-ofpocket maximum. Lots of young, healthy people who don't expect to go to the doctor opt for bronze or catastrophic plans (the latter are only available to people younger than 30). While they offer the lowest premiums, they'll also have some of the highest deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. • Consider accident coverage if you're active. Sometimes even less expensive policies with midrange or high deductibles also offer benefits that kick in in the event of an injury. • Catastrophic plans typically offer no coverage for medications. For that reason, some agents said they recommend shelling out the extra $50 or so for a bronze plan. • Take advantage of preventative care. Anyone buying a less expensive plan that doesn't offer a lot of coverage should be aware of the preventative services the ACA requires insurers cover for their enrollees with no out-of-pocket costs. Thatincludes anannualcheck-up and a number of screenings, including for various cancers, high blood pressure, cholesterol, sexually transmitted infections and immunizations for things like the flu, hepatitis A and B and measles. Specifically for women, it includes contraceptives and counseling for women who may have a higher genetic risk for breast cancer. • Open a health savings account. Some high deductible plans are considered HSA compatible, which means the federal government allows people who buy these plans to open accounts that allow them to put money aside that's tax deductible off of their gross income each year. When used for qualified medical expenses, the money is tax-free. Medical expenses include any out-of-pocket expenses, dental care, vision exams, glasses or contacts and alternative care, such as chiropractic adjustments or acupuncture. And, unlike many flexible spending accounts employers offer, the money in HSAs rolls over into the next year if you don't spend it all in a single year.

• Check coverage of prescriptions you'll need. A number of carriers changed their prescription drug benefits for 2016, so this also goes for people who do not expect to switch plans. Sometimes this is far from simple. Moda, for example, has four tiers of drug coverage: value, select, preferred and brand. This is an area where working with an agent would be helpful. • A cancer survivor with lingering health issues will want to see their doctor relatively frequently, so they'll want to look for a plan that covers frequent office visits with little or no co-pays. This probably means a more expensive plan with a lower deductible. • If a big surgery or procedure is forthcoming, like a hip or knee replacement, pay specific attention to plans' out-ofpocket maximums. Whether you need a $50,000 hip replacement or $1 50,000 open-heart surgery, you'll be responsible for the out-ofpocket maximum plus your monthly premiums.

The Oregon Insurance Division focuses a lot on carriers' average individual m arket rateincreases between this year and next, but in reality, most people aregoing to seebiggerincreases than those averages. Moda, for example, got an average rate increase across its individual policies of 25.6 percent. If you live in Baker, Union or Wallowa county

t's no secret that the world around sernors can gradually shrink to the size of a living room ifa caregiverdoesn't find ways to stimulate them mentally, physically and emotionally. One way to do this is to introduce your senior to the expansive world of the Internet, and in doing so, this benefits the caregiver too. When my siblings sent our mother to my house to live, she had never held a tablet, letaloneused one,but I had seen other seniors in their80s using tablets,and I thought Mother could master it too. My siblings were not so sure, but they generously bought one for her anyway. Within a year, Mother was playing word games, reading news and obituaries in online newspapers from her hometown in Wisconsin, doing online research and using Moon Reader to read other publications and books. My siblingswere amazed attheir new "techno mom" and all this growth in just one year. Today, she joins a growing throng of seniors who use the Internet, and she's benefitting and so am I. Now, instead of asking me"How old is Dolly Parton?" and me shrugging"I don't know," she can find the answer herself on a search engine — not only how old Dolly is, but her height, her husband's name, the songs she's sung, some ofher quotes, and the movies she's acted in — a plethora of information, more than enough to satisfy the most curious of fans. She loves staying in touch with family members far away, so emails and social media with photos and family news is exciting. Sure, she thought"LOL"meant"Lord of Lords" — bless her reverent heart, and as she learns the cryptic lingo,shealways says, "Oh, for heaven's sake!" I think she prefers traditional English. Having the ability to access massive amounts of wholesome information, entertainment and social interacti ons isgood fora senior's mental health. A study conducted by Michigan State University found that seniors over 65 who spend occasional time online can drasticall y reduce symptoms of depression. Playing games online can improvethe memory, expand attention and increase sequencing abilities. My mother likes to wind down her day by playing Words with Friends or Word Find games. It's calming to her, she says, and I notice she is so mentally engaged that she can almost zone everyone else out in the living room when she plays word games. I'm happy for her because what's good for Momma is good for the rest of the family, yes? Using an electronic device like a tablet is a solo practice, so when your senior is busy on it, then you, the caregiver, can slip into a bubble bath, enjoy a hobby, or work in your shop. Whatever it might be, use this time to rejuvenate and restore yourselfbecause tomorrow's another day. .
