Lawmakers converged on Salem last week for Legislative Committee meetings and the region's delegate in the Oregon House of Representativessaid the event felt more like a regular session except that there were no votes on legislation. Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario, who represents the state's District 60 — which encompasses Baker County — said a number of key initiatives gained attention from the Republican Caucus during the week including the specterofa billto raise the state's minimum wage when the Legislature meets early next year. '%e are trying to determine what is going to be our focus in February," Bentz said. As the minority partyDemocrats hold majorities in both the House and Senate — Bentz said the challenge for GOP lawmakers is to try to determine what key initiatives will become critical.

An Advent calendar for all of Baker City will be revealed, one day ata tim e,starting Dec. 1. The north-side windows of the First Presbyterian Church, 1995 Fourth St., are in the process ofbecoming a giant Advent calendar, with each window featuring an image.

meeting, the Council called a specialmeeting Nov.24 to address the issue once again. Huntington Deputy Recorder Shellie Nash said the City Council decided they needed the special meeting to discuss the marijuana issue again and indicated

that some Council members might change their minds on the issue. At the special meeting, Councilors Rhonda Bronson, Chuck Guerri and Cindy Deck were in favor of banning marijuana dispensaries. Councilors Eileen Driver,

Carol Allender and Jack Gerould were in favor of allowing the businesses in town. Mayor Travis Young ultimately made the decision to not move forward with a ban.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signaled earlier this month she supports some kind of blueprint to raise the state's minimum wage but three lawmakers that represent Baker County at the state and local level are wary of such a plan. Brown talked about her goal to cooperate with elected leaders to develop a minimum wage boost at the Associated Oregon Industries convention earlier this month. Already at least one ballot measure is in the works to increase the minimum wage in Oregon. Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario, said a minimum wage hike will severely hamper business in Eastern Oregon, especially places like Malheur County. "If the wage goes up in Malheur County, we better throw ourselves outoftheroad as jobs fly into Idaho," he said.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald November 28, 1965 The St. Francis Leopards of Baker reign as the new"B" League eight-man football champions of the state of Oregon following their victory 28-0 over the Wheeler County Falcons at Fossil The Leopards have won the title after being undefeated in eleven games this year, the third year since their football program was started by Coach Don Allen, who was coach at Hereford in 1962 when the Bulls won the title. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald November 27, 1990 Baker City's new Super 8 Motel at Interstate 84 and Campbell Street is expected to open tonight or Wednesday, according to a spokesman for Super 8 Motels Inc., Aberdeen, S.D. Jerry and ShirleyWalker, co-managers of the Baker City Super 8 Motel, recently completed a seven-day management training program at Super 8 Motel's International headquarters in Aberdeen. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald November 28, 2005 Carl Swinyer, quartermaster for Baker City's AMVETS organization, said what must have been on the minds of many of the people who lined Main Street Saturday morning to welcome home Baker County's returning National Guard troops from Iraq. "I'm so glad to see our troops get out of there," he said, "and I can't wait to see the rest of them come home." The community treated its returning warriors to a respectful and joyous welcome-home ceremony during a 10-minute parade down Main Street and a reception after that at the Baker County Extension building. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald November 28, 2014 The sunnyThanksgiving morning drew 551 participants for the seventh-annualTurkey Trot in Baker City. Of those, 119 registered in the hours before the event started. The TurkeyTrot is a 5K fun run/walk, with proceeds going to the Northeast Oregon Compassion Center to help feed the hungry in the area. The event raised more than $6,000and brought in 900 pounds offood.

Currently, the only recreational marijuana for salein the state isfrom medical marijuana dispensaries. The dispensaries have been authorized to sell recreational marijuana, which is taxed at 25 percent, by the state Legislature until recreational dispensaries are open for business.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The state Department of Corrections should recalculate its assumptions about the state's need for prison space. Just over two years ago, then-Gov. John Kitzhaber and the state Legislature made dramatic changes to the state's prison system. Lawmakers cut the sentences for some property crimes and drug crimes. They promised more money to local communities for eA'orts aimed at cutting recidivism. And, lo and behold, the number of men and women being sent to Oregon's prisons dropped: In 2013, according to the Medford Mail Tribune, some 4,972 Oregonians went to prison, a number that fell to 4,784 last year. But something else happened, as well. While the average sentence served in 2013 was 37.1 months, it's now some 44.1 months. The result is that the overall prison population in this state has dropped 13 bodies, not the 500 or so that was being predicted when the reforms became law. The state is now faced with two choices. It can open the medium security wing of the Deer Ridge prison outside of Madras, a facility that never has been used. That would costabout $9.5 million, mostly in additional sta5ng, and would allow the state to house more prisoners. Or, it can tell counties to keep some of their criminals home, move Deer Ridge's current prisoners to the medium security wing at a cost of $2 million, and hope the Legislature comes up with the remaining $7.5 million needed to add prisoners to Deer Ridge It has chosen the latter. The decision raises concerns, clearly. Among the biggest is the fear that in order to find money for Deer Ridge, lawmakers will dip into justice reinvestment funds, which go to local anti-recidivism programs. For money-shy counties, that possibility has ugly implications. All this suggests it's time for the state to reconsider its assumptions about its prison population and prepare to deal with the problem. It cannot continue asking counties to keep bad guys at home at county expense.

rance's war ta is ris In calling for a war against the Islamic State, French President Francois Hollande is engaging in a tragically counterproductive enterprise. Under international law,"war" can only exist between sovereign states. Hollande is rashly giving the Islamic State precisely what it wants: legal recognition. Such a move would not only represent a profound defeat for the West in the war of ideas; it would also have immediate practical consequences. If the French succeed in capturing terrorists, must they treatthem asprisonersofwar,entitled to 112715 REC-Teaser Pgl Cougareps all the rights guaranteed by the Geneva Convention? This is precisely the question the U.S. has contronted at Guantanamo. To avoid the Geneva Convention, the Bush administration called its internees "unlawful combatants" since they were not fighting in military uniforms. Will France create a similar "no-law zone" when dealing with terrorists, and act lawlessly while denouncing the Islamic State for its lawlessness? History has its ironies, yet this one is too terrible to contemplate. Recall that French President Jacques Chirac refused to enlist in the worldwide"war on terror" at the time of the Iraq invasion. By standing aside, he saved France trom complicity with the torture and lawlessness that have damaged the international reputations of the United States and Britain. But, rather than following in Chirac's footsteps, Hollande is now endorsing indiscriminate war talk at a time when President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron have been cautiously exlricating themselves fiom the legacy left by George W. Bush and Tony Blair.

geratingthe polarnastinessof Baker County winters, the reality is that even during the depths of winter our streets and roads are much more likely to be snowy, wet or dry. But still I resisted, in part because I like the sound studded tires make as they ply the road. This distinctive rattle heralds the arrival of winter as surely as the tang of pinesmoke at dusk, or the alpenglow that so briefly bathes the Wallowas with the sort of ethereal light usually limited to the naves of Gothic cathedrals. Last fall, though, as my wife and I pondered what to do with our car, which was coming into its first winter, we broke with tradition and bought a set of studless snow tires. As a tire aficionado oflong standing, I find these quite fetching. The treadblocks are slashed with sipes that remind me of the trunk of an aspentreethatabearhasgone at with its claws. Also the rubber, the manufacturer boasts, is infused with chopped up walnut shells, which I gather adds tenacity to the tires' grip. Whether the shells make a significant difference, or whether some clever walnut packer just figured out aprofitablewa y to getrid ofits waste products, I can't say.

But I can vouch for the efficacy of the studless snow tires. Although it was our first winter driving the car, it is a tront-wheel drive sedan, the same configuration as our previous car, which was fitted with studded tires. So far as my wife and I could tell, there was no discernible difference in performance. The studless tires grab slippery surfaces in a confidenceinspiring way. We still run studded tires on our FJ Cruiser, and they've got at least a couple more winters in them, so seldom do we take the four-wheel drive on trips longer than 50 miles. But when the tread finally erodes enough that we need to scrap the tires, I expect we will at least consider becoming a fully studless family, as it were. iAlthough our son, Max, who is 4, seems to think he's pretty cool.) Regardless of what we choose, I'm looking forward to the inevitable tripto thetire store,where,atleast for a few minutes ior perhaps an hour) as I stroll the aromatic aisles, I canregain a sense of the child I was, happily waiting for my dad to drive us home.

lis. The next year the game was dubbed theaWar of the Roses" because the winner was guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth. Oregon won 37-33.

THE PYRAMID PLAY:

NCAA.

Jerry Pettibone got his only win after 10 straight losses in his first season as Beavers coach in 1991, when quarterback Ian Shields, playing with a broken big toe, scored on a 6-yard bootleg for the go-ahead touchdown. Oregon State won 14-3, the Beavers' first victory in Eugene in 18 years.

HARRINGTON TEARS:

ROSE BOWL BOUND:

In 2000, the No. 8 Beavers denied the fifth-ranked Ducks a trip to Pasadena with a 23-13 victory. Afterward, quarterback Joey Harrington wept in the arms of his father, John, who played the same position for the Ducks in the late 1960s and never beat Oregon State in three tries.

The Ducks entered the 1994 Civil War tied with USC for the Pac-10 championship and needed a win to clinch their first Rose Bowl berth since 1957. Trailing 13-10, Danny O'Neil drove the team 70 yards, hitting Dino Philyaw for a 19-yard touchdown with 3:47 to play, givingOregon a 17-13victory.

In 2008 the Beavers were looking toward their first Rose Bowl in 44 years with a victory in the final game when the Ducks romped to a 65-38 win in Corval-

It was Oregon State's last win in the series. On Oregon's chance to answer, the Beavers stuffed Jonathan Stewart on fourthand-1 from the 16.

WEEICLY FISHING REPORT

NORTHEASTERN OREGON

GRANDE RONDE RIVER • Steelhead fishing on the Grande Ronde is good right now. With the recent bump in flows, catch rates should remain high for the next few weeks. Fish are taking everything, including flies, lures, bait and anything else anglers want to throw at them. The outlook for steelhead is currently great for 201 5-16 with nearly 21,000 Wallowa/ Imnaha fish set to pass Bonneville Dam, much higher than the average of 14,000. IMNAHA RIVER • The river is fishing well for steelhead. The recent bump in flows will bring more fish up from the Snake River and fishing will remain good. The outlook for steelhead is currently good for 2015-16 with nearly 21,000 Wallowa/Imnaha fish set to pass Bonneville Dam, much higher than the average of 14,000. 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 that 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. Saurce: ODRN

So far in 2015 in the Blue Mountains hunting zone, which has the highest cougar kill quota among six zones in Northeastern Oregon, 58 cougars have been killed by hunters. But the declining kill numbers are due to paltry hunting conditions rather than a drop in population.

• State biologists say cougar kills down, but area population steady

The Commission raised the quota for each of the state's six cougar management zonesfor2015.The statewide totalrose from 777 to 970.

In 2015, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, citing a computer model that predicts the statewide cougar population had increased by 9 percentfrom 2006 to 13,increased the cougar kill quota for the Blue Mountains zone from 245 cats to 270. It was the first increase for the zone since 2006, when the annual quota went from 139 to 245. The quota includes cougars

COUGARS

Blue MountainsZone

Continued from Page1C The total mortality of 77 isaboutthe same, asoflate November, as in 2014. Lastyear'stotalfor the Blue Mountains ended up at 95 cougars. That was 40 fewer cougars than were killed in 2013 and well below the annual average of 159 cougars killed in the zone between 2005-13. But even two years of data — presuming the 2015 total remainsbelow the average of the previous decade — would not constitute definitive proof that the cougar population in the Blue Mountains is declining. The number of cougars killed by hunters in two consecutive years is not a reliable way to gauge cougar populations, said Bruce Johnson, a recently retired research biologist with ODFW in La Grande. Hunters' success at killing cougarsistoo dependenton factors other than cougar populations, Johnson said. Weather, as Ratliff pointed out, is chief among those factors. 'There is no reason right now to believe that cougar numbers in the Blue Mountains are down substantially," Johnson said. GeorgeKeister,aretired ODFW biologist who pre-

'figures are as of Nov. 20 ceded Ratliff as the head biologist in Baker County, said he never considered hunter success as an accurate reflection of cougar populations. 'You just can't say that a drop in success means the population has gone down at all," said Keister, who designed the computer model that ODFW uses to estimate cougar populations. That the agency relies largely on a computer model, ratherthan on itsbiologists' eyes, to estimate numbers highlights the challenge in trying to figure out how many of the big cats roam Oregon.

Unlike deer and elk, which congregatein large herds at certain times of the year and can becounted trom aircraft with considerable accuracy, cougarsare generally solitary animals. They're also secretive and elusive — some biologists will go years, despite spending much time in the woods, without actually seeing a cougar. ODFW has tried to supplement computer modelswith more aggressive census-taking tactics, but the expensive of that work means it must be limited both geographically and in

pasttwo years,in addition to making it more difficult for hunters to track cougars in snow, have prevented deer and other prey animals from gathering in large numbers in small areas where feed is available. During hard winters, Ratliff said, deer tend to congregatein certain areas. Cougars naturally focus on those areas, and so do cougar hunters. But during easy winters the deer, and thus the cougars, are not so concentrated, which likely reduces hunters' success, he sald. The bottom line, Johnson said, is that until more data are available, biologists can theorize about the significance of cougar kill numbers but they can't make scientifically defensible conclusions about the connection betweenthosestatisticsand the cougar population in the Blue Mountains. 'There are a lot of possiblecauses iforthe current decline in hunter success), but none can really be proved at this point," he said.

next two years, he said. In the meantime, ODFW biologists will continue to track cougar harvest numbers. If the harvest numbers remain below the previous decade's average for two or three more years, that would at least heighten biologists' suspicion that the region's cougar population actually is dropping, Johnson said. For now, though, he and other biologists can only speculateabout otherfactors that could in part explain why hunters are killing fewer cougars in the Blue Mountains. Ratliff suggests as a possibility, although he emphasizes this is a theory only, that the increasing population of wolves in the Blue Mountains has affected both thedistribution ofcougars and of their prey, primarily deer and elk. Research in others states has shown that wolves can affect the movements of other predators such as cougars, Ratliff said. He also speculates that the relatively mild winters the

frequency, Johnson said. During 2011-12, the agency employed trackers with trained dogs to try to gauge how many cougars live in the Mount Emily unit north of La Grande. That project established a baseline population estimate for that area, which is part of the Blue Mountains zone. But until the census can be repeated, there's no way for biologists to say, with any degree of certainty, what the cougar population trend is in the Mount Emily unit, Johnson said. That follow-up census might happen within the

The Oregon Health Authority will put off landmark changes to the way the state's Medicaid programcoverstreatment ofback pain, which would allow patients to access physical therapy, acupunctureorothertherapies, instead of relying on painkillers or surgery. The new coverage policy was supposed totakeeffect Jan. 1 but now will be delayedfor an undetermined amount of time, according to the OHA. The medical director of Central Oregon's coordinatedcare organization, which administers care under theOregon Health

Plan, said the delay means there will be less support for doctors who are trying to curb abuse of prescription narcotics. "It's particularly unfortunate because of the push on opioids," said Dr. Alison Little, medical director for PacificSource Community Solutions. "It's a statewide initiative to get opioid use down. It would be a loteasierifw e had these othertherapiestodirect people to." In afactsheetprovided by an Oregon Health Authority spokeswoman, OHA says it's trying to come up with a way to let the entire package of guidelines on back pain take effect at the same time.

ciation of American Medical Colleges projectsthatthe nation will face a shortage of 12,000to 31,000 primarycare physicians by 2025. So it's no wonder you may be finding it harder to find a doctor or to schedule an appointment with the one you have. What's fueling this problem? The baby boom generation pouring into older age, an aging physician workforce preparingtoretire and an estimated 30 million Americans joining the ranks of the insured since enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. What that means is that you may not be seeing a doctor at all the next time you go for health care. 'The impending physician shortage is an opportunity to move to a health care model where the physician can be more of a quarterback on a team ofhealthcareproviders, rather than being on the front lines," said Dr. David Gorstein, managing director of Health Innovations, a health care consulting firm in Charleston, South Carolina, focusing on new models of health care. It's time to look to other, m ore affordable and accessibl e settings,he said. Here are five options for addressing shortages and reining in costs.

Typically located in pharmacies, groceriesand"big box" stores, these walk-in clinics began cropping up in 2000 and served more than 20 million patients in 2014, accordingto theirtrade association, the Convenient Care Association. To date, they number more than 1,800 in 40 states and Washington, D.C., offering lower-cost optionsforhealth services with transparent pricing, so consumers know what they are paying for.

If you think smoking is gaining popularity, think again. Far fewer adults are smokingtoday than in2005.Andthosewho are smoking? They're smoking fewer cigarettes, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCj. It found that rates of smoking have been declining since 1965. They dropped by about1/5 from 2005 to 2014. CDCused 10 years of National Health Information Survey data to compare the rates of smoking among adults 18 years and older.

Despite the heightened danger, deaths from cardiovascular disease among people with rheumatoid arthritis are declining, the research found. The study was among Mayo Clinic research presented recently at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting in San Francisco. Other Mayo studies discussedatthe conference chronicled a significant increase in gout; examined rare intestinal microbes in rheumatoid arthritis patients; and discoveredthatpeople with rheumatoid arthritis use opioid painkillers at a higher rate than the general public, but that it isn't related to disease severity. In the study on rheumatoid arthritis and heart disease,researchers looked at heartdisease deaths within 10 years of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis among two groups of people: 315 patientsdiagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis from 2000 to 2007 and 498 patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the 1980s and 1990s. They also looked at heart disease deaths among 813 people without the rheumatic disease. Roughly two-thirds of pati ents studied were women, and the average age was 60. They found a significantly lowerrate ofdeathsfrom heart disease in the more recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis patients than in those diagnosed earlier: 2.8 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively. The study also analyzed deaths among rheumatoid arthritis patients from a particular type ofcardiovascular disease — coronary artery disease — and found those too declined in the 10 years after the patients studied were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Among the 2000-07 diagnosis group, 1.2 percent died of coronary artery disease, paralleling the general population, compared with 4.7 percentofthosediagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the 1990s.

After several years of flipping homes, Tarek and Chrisdna El Moussa are ready to go

bigger. Soon after welcoming infant son Brayden to join dcem and daughter Taylor, the couple begins Season 4 of their HGTV series

"Flip or Flop" Thursday, Dec. 3. While the premise is dce same — as dcey frequendy run into unforeseen hurdles once dcey've bought Southern California homes to renovate and sell, hopehclly for a profit, but without seeing dce interiors first — dcey undermtce more expensive residences in the new round. Even then, Tarek believes "Flip or Flop" sill has value for viewers in any monetary

uibulations, the design aspects, dce financial aspects ... I think dcat's what keeps viewers

engaged."

So do dce very natural reacdons of the couple when dceyencounter the unexpected, which happens often, upon first entering a house dcey've bought. "Even dcough we've done dcis so many dmes," Christina reflects, Christina "I am still totally surprised by dce gross dcings we Bind. I actually swallowed a fly that El Moussa had just been eating a rat carcass." (Tarek chimes in widc mild glee, "That's going to be airing in December!" ) The fourdc "Flip or Flop" stanza is "a unique season," Tarek says, "probably our favorite season to date dcat we've filmed. We did some really cool houses, including a couple of million (-dollar)-plus houses, which nobody's seen before. Because we did high-cnd stuft we were able to do things we've never done." Christina adds dce season's theme is "big projects, so we really stepped it up on design. We took a lot of dme."

Widc a special "Flip or Flop" holiday edidon set for Dec. 10, Tarek claims dce show's popularity — and his and Christina's fame — haven't impacted dceir business much. "At dce end of the day, it's still up to dce bank that's giving dce buyer dce loan to approve the appraisal," reasons Tarek. "Even if the buyer really wants the house and makes a high offer, if the bank cuts the value, somedmes tbuyers) can pay the difference and sometimes they can't. It just depends, case-by-case."
