Bill Harvey says Forest Service policies that restrict theharvestoftim ber, minerals and other natural resources on public land in Baker County are"choking us to death." And Harvey, the newly elected chairmanofthe county's Board of Commissioners, doesn't Har v ey intend to stick the county's neckout anyfarther, figuratively speaking. cwe keep getting hurtin Baker County," Harvey said Tuesday.'They're totallyignoring us and totallyignoring the needs of Baker County." Whichis why Harvey this morning asked fellow commissioners Mark Bennett and Tim L. Kerns to join him in signing whatis in effect a''Dear John" lettertotheForestService. All three commissioners agreed to sign the letter rejectingthe ForestService'soffer tosign a Memorandum of

Understanding iMOP. That MOU would make the county a"cooperating agency"intheForestService's multi-year endeavor to write new managementplans for the three national forests in the Blue Mountains: the Wallowa-Whitman, Malheur and Umatilla. In July 2009, Harvey's predecessor, Fred Warner Jr., along with Kerns and then-commissioner Carl Stiff, signed an MOU with the Forest Service making the county a cooperati ng agency forthe Blue Mountain forestplans revision. Harvey said that based on a draftversion oftheforest plan that the Forest Service released last year, he sees no benefit to the county fiom continuingin that status. SeeCounty IPage5A

TURNING BAcK THE PAGEs 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Feb. 4, 1965 SALEM — Doug Courson, a star performer for the Baker High School basketball team last year, is proving his ability as a top-notch player by leading the Willamette University JuniorVarsity in scoring and field goal percentage after nine games. Courson is sporting a 16 points per game average while hitting his shots at a .474 clip (37-95). He is second in free throw shooting with an.80 percentage (20-25) and in rebounds with 76 retrieves. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Feb. 5, 1990 Investigators today are continuing to study the scene of a fire that damaged the historic Palmer Building in downtown Baker Friday morning. The second story of the building at 1801 Main St. was gutted in the blaze. Investigators are sifting through the remains of photographs, negatives and other items stored on the second floor, where the fire apparently started. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Feb. 4, 2005 The BakerMiddle SchoolTask Force,agroup assigned to study the district's future needs for its middle school students, expects to hear an update on plans for funding the construction of a new building Monday night. At its Jan. 25 meeting, the task force recommended that the Baker School Board pursue building an $8 million new school rather than spending a similar amount to remodel the Helen M. Stack building and the Central Building that currently house the district's 312 middle school students. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Feb. 5, 2014 For the first time in almost five years, state officials have confirmed that multiple wolves have been roaming in Baker County. Russ Morgan, the wolf coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said this morning he believes five wolves have spent at least the past month or so in the Medical Springs area, near the border between Baker and Union counties about 22 miles northeast of Baker City.

We understand why Haines City Recorder Valerie Russell was surprised to learn that the Baker County town, in the span of a single year, had become rather afIIuent. Haines had not, in fact, done anything of the sort. We'd rather report otherwise, but the reality is that Haines, population 416, along with much of the rest of Baker County and indeed rural Oregon, has been slow to recover from the Great Recession. Yet the federal government, through its American Community Survey, concluded that the percentage of Haines'136 households that earn low or moderate incomes had declined from 55.5 percent in 2013, to 39.7 percent in 2014. Russell, who has a more intimate knowledge of her town's economy — she processes residents'water and sewer bills, among other things — knew the feds' statistics couldn't be accurate. Indeed it turns out that the American Community Survey's figure of39.7 percent was based on a relatively small sample size. The situation might be a harmless example of bureaucratic bungling except that the percentage oflow and moderate income households determines whether a town is eligible to apply for federal Community Development Block Grants. Those are vital sources of money for small towns such as Haines that could never aford multimilliondollar infrastructure jobs. But because the feds' latest figures showed Haines' percentage oflow and moderate income households

had dropped below the eligibility threshold of 51 percent, the city technically can't apply. (Not coincidentally, the same flawed survey methodology has made much larger cities with considerably greater financial resources, including Corvallis and Bend, eligible for the same kinds of Block Grants that Haines oKcials hope to apply for. This is a pressing matter because the state has mandated that Haines upgrade its water system. The total cost, which includes a well, storage tank and other work, likely will run about $5 million, Rus-

sell said. Fortunately the feds have agreed to allow Haines and other affected towns — seven others in the region, including Richland and North Powder, also became inel gible forBlock Grants lastyear based on income surveys — to do their own comprehensive study. Russell said she's confident that that survey will show Haines does qualify for grants. We hope neither Haines nor any other city that

was deemed ineligible based on seemingly shoddy statistics has to postpone a big project. And if that does happen, whatever agency that requires the work — whether federal or, as in Haines' case, the state — should recognize that the city isn't at fault and deserves extra time, if necessary, to comply.

BAKER CITY HERALD — 5A

LOCAL 8 STATE

c oo eaers a eroa ByAngela Carpenter Blue Mountain Eagle

JOHN DAY — Educators emphasized the needs of rural schools at an Education Forum that drew four state legislators to John Day in January. It was the first meeting of its kind to be held at Grant Union Junior-Senior High

School. State Sen. Ted Ferrioli and Reps. Cliff Bentz, John Huffman and Greg Barreto were on handtogatherinformation about the needs of small schools in Eastern Oregon. Packed into the Grant Union library, the audience of about 80 included school board members, teachers, school administrators, and interested citizens from as far away as Ontario, Halfway, Mitchell and Lakeview. Equitable funding for rural schools was the focus, but the bottom line — the students served by the schools — was notforgotten. ''We're putting our heart

and soul into our students," Superintendent Mark Witty of Grant School District No. 3 said in his opening remarks. ''We care about thisarea, and we represent kids that matter." Morgan Allen, a legislativespecialistfortheOregon School Boards Association, captured the fi ustrations and challenges for rural school districts, noting that no matter the size of the school, they still are required to fulfill all of the state's education mandates. "Our small schoolsare expectedto dowhat the large schools are expected to do," he said,adding thatruralschools are often the major employer in small communities. Speaking about the state school fund, Chris Cronin, Grant School District No. 3 School Board chair, described what her district went through to be on budget for the current biennium. Drastic measures included the closure of Mount Vernon Middle School, which merged

COUNTY Continued from Page1A Bennett shares Harvey's skepticism. Bennett said many county residents have urged him torejectthe ForestService's overturesfor cooperating agency status. "My goal is to meet the people of Baker County's needs and concerns," Bennett said Tuesday afternoon. ''What I'm hearing is that we need to try a different approach, and I'm willing to support Bill." That approach, Harvey said, is known as "coordination." Bennett Federal law requires the Forest Service and otherfederalagenciesto work with counties or other local governments — that is, to "coordinate" — when the federal agency is writing a managementplan. Examples of plans for which coordination is required include both the Blue Mountain forests plan revisionsthat arethesubjectof the proposed MOU, and the ongoing Travel Management Plan effort on the WallowaWhitman. The basic idea behind coordinationisthatfederalagenciesshould striveto ensure that their plans for managing public land are consistent with the goals expressed in a county plan. Baker County, for instance, has a natural resources plan approved in 2010 which, among other things, notes how vital the use of those resources is to the county's economy and people. The plan notes that"federaland state agenciesmust fulfill their requirement to coordinate with the County's plan to assure consistency between plans as required by

Other topics of discussion included Senate Bill 447 to support facilities improvement; Small School Correction; Education Service District funding request; and Career Technical Education access. Addressing the state mandate to implement full-day kindergarten, Chris Panike, La Grande School District business manager, said having that requirement without added funds ends up penalizing other school programs. Grant ESD board member Dana Brooks, representing Dayville, said the education servicedistrictsneed funding that is tied to the state school funding amount. She noted ESD funding "has been stagnant since 2003," adding the Grant County ESD has had to cut servicesto schools,and those costs are passed on to the local school districts. Legislators asked for

Moreover, the Federal Land Management Policy Act states that BLM management plans "shall be consistent with State and local plans to the maximum extent... consistent with federallaw and the purposes of this Act." Baker County's main current issue, though, is with the Forest Service. And that agency's legal process for coordination, outlined in the National Forest Management Act, though it requires the Forest Service to participate in coordination, is not as detailed as the BLM's process. However, a 2012 Forest Service planning rule does include requirements related to coordination, including: • "The responsible iForest Service) official shall coor-

dinate land management planning with the equivalent and relatedplanning efforts of.. .localgovernments. • ''WhenForest Semce land use plans are developed or revised, theresponsible official shall review local plans and policies relevant to the federal plan. The review will consider the objectives of local plans, the compatibility and interrel ated impacts betweenlocaland federal plans, opportunitiesto addressimpacts and contribute to joint objectives, and opportunitiesto resolveorreduce conflicts." Although neither Harvey nor Bennett is satisfied with the results Baker County realized from the 2009 MOU giving the county cooperating agency status in the forestplan revision process, the PLC contends that both cooperating agency and coordination can be useful tools for county officials who want

feedback, with Bentz recommending that people be specific in their emails to him about how lower funding is affecting the students. Ferrioli said the argument for rural schools is an"equity issue and a fairness issue." He mentioned Long Creek School District, which has lost a significant population of students over the years and currently serves about 30 students.

I'll "dig in and fight, be-

cause we're not going to lose any school," he said."I will

fill sandbags." Witty said the meeting was positive and an opportunity for those who serve rural students to be heard by theirSalem representatives. "I was very pleased with the commitment from our legislators who represent Eastern Oregon," he said. "They were willing to take the time and commit to understanding critical issues that directly impact students in our region."

to influence federal agencies' decisions. A cooperating agency is allowedtoassign a representativeto serveon theteam offederalagency employees who actually write plans, not only management plans but also site-specific projects such as timber sales. The PLC notes, however, thatcooperating agencies do not have the authority to override federaloffi cials' decisionsabout such projects or plans. And that's precisely why Harvey dislikes the cooperating agency process and prefers coordination, with itsmandate that federal officials tailor plans to try to comply with county goals. "I'm not going to sign any agreement that gives away my authority to protect Baker County," Harvey said. ''We're supposed to coordinate plans. It's the law, and it'sthereto protectus."

PORTLAND — With Robin Lopez's return, the Trail Blazers seemed more at ease. Even a late threat kom the Utah Jazz seemed surmountable. "I think everybody was just more comfortable knowing he was out there," said guard Damian Lillard, who had 25 points as Portland held off the Jazz 103-102. Lopez kactured his right hand in a Dec. 15 game against San Antonio and missed 23 games. The 7-footcenter was badly missed. "Not only does he help the starting unit, he just helps theteam alltogether because itsetsrotations.Everybody is back to what they're accustomed, where they've been playing for so long,"Wesley Matthews said. Lopez's return, and the victory, came at the right time for the Blazers, who had lost three straight and five of their last six going into Tuesday night's game. After wrestling for the lead to start the fourth quarter, Matthews hit two straight 3-pointers and the Blazers went up 98-89 with 3:26 left. Gordon Hayward's 3 closed the Jazz to within 99-96, but Lillard answered with a driving layup. Joe Ingles

hit another 3 for the Jazz to pull within 101-99 with 9.9 seconds left. LaMarcus Aldridge made kee throws before Trey Burke hit a 3-pointer with 0.9seconds togo.Lillard missed his first free throw on the other end, then missed the second one intentionally and time ran out on Utah. Aldridge finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Lopez had 11 points and six rebounds,held tojustover25 minutes on the floor. Hayward finished with 27 points for the Jazz, who were coming off110-100 victory over the Western Conferenceleading Warriors. cWe've gone kom losing nine straight to being able to play with the best teams in the league, so we've just got to figure out how to be more consistent," Utah coach Quin Snyder said. Portland was coming off a 95-88 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday night, concluding a futilethree-game road trip. Lopez, wearing a black wrap on his hand, made his first shot of the night, a dunk. His return sparked the Blazers, who gotoffto a 27-23 start after the first quarter. "Any basketball player would prefer to be on the court rather than on the bench," Lopez said afterward.

A company must be a U.S. company and meet certain criteria, including size which is known as market capitalization, minimum monthly trading volume, liquidity and sector classification. The goal is to include companies in industries that mirror the U.S. economy. Companies' shares in the S&P 500 are weighted by market capitalization, which means larger companiesreceive a greaterweight than smaller companies. In other words, not all companies make up an equal percentage of the index. Many investors view the S&P 500 as a passive or fixed index with few changes. In fact, thereisa lotofturnover or activity in the index with companies added and deleted frequently. Companies can be deleted due benign consequences such as mergersorreincorporating outside of the U.S. Interestingly enough, companies can alsobe deleted due to having substantial declines in their market values. Business Insider recently published an article called "Since 1980, The S&P Has Dumped 320 Stock Because They Stunk."

If you want to beat the S&P 500, consider this quote by Benjamin Franklin: "An investment in knowledge always paysthe bestinterest."

PENDLETON — As a kid, Colin Hemphill remembers riding out on his family's ranch between Pendleton and Pilot Rock to pick up drifbvood litt ered around thepasture after a Birch Creek flood. 'You'd have about six inches of mud on top of your grass," said Hemphill, 34, a fikh-generation farmer and cattle rancher."It was a mess. Once the water left, it was basically a mudflat." Itis notuncommon to see floodingon Bimh Creek, where agricultural practices in some areas led to bank erosion and instability. That's had a negative impacton both properly owners and native steelhead runs. Restoration work has been a staple on Birch Creek for decades as agencies seek a balance between healthy farms and fish. About 87 percent of

the creek runs through private land south of Pendleton, rising at the base of the Blue Mountains and emptying into the Umatilla River near Rieth. It is the home waters of a third of all wild steelhead in the Umatilla Basin. In 1989, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife put up fencing along the creek at Hemphill's ranch to keep their cows fiom overgrazing the banks. ODFW also planted new riparian vegetation, including cottonwood trees, to provide more shade for fish while holding the stream in its bank during high flows. The Umatilla Basin Watershed Council, in collaboration with partners, is now taking stock of past projects, as well as natural and unnatural functions along Birch Creek to come up with an action planforfuturerestoration.

'There's really not many E places (sellingl it online," Gillette said."It's really hard to find. You have to search forever to find it."

Los Angeles Times

Ukrainian government troops and proRussia separatists are increasingly engaging in"indiscriminate shelling" that has killed at least 224 civiliansover arecentthreeweek period and imperils millions living in the eastern Ukraine war zones, the United Nations' top human rights official warned Tuesday. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad Hussein criticized both sides in the 10-month-old conflict for transformingresidentialareasintodangerous battlegrounds. H ussein alsoreported an escalating death toll, saying thatby"conservativeestimate" based on confirmed casualty figures at least 5,358 have been killed and another 12,235 wounded since last April. The world body's criticism follows recent efforts at a massive mobilization by both sides fighting over eastern Ukraine territory since the ouster of Ukraine's Kremlin-allied President Viktor Yanukovich nearly a year ago. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been accused by the Ukrainian government and its Western allies of arming and instigating the separatists. Kremlin officials deny they are involved, but captured Russian fighters and the Moscow-allied leaders of the nationalistoccupied areas have confirmed they were supported by the Russian government. NATO has also documented via satellite imagery invading columns of Russian tanks and troops moving into eastern Ukraine.
