How do Baker City's water and sewer rates stack up totherestofthestate?

Generally speaking, Baker City residents fare well when it comes to paying for what goes down the drain.

The League of Oregon Cities (LOCl recently released the results of its 2014 Water Rate Survey.

The LOC conducts the survey, which includes data from 168 cities (Baker City's aren't included in the statewideaverages),every fi ve years.

Baker City's residential water rates are slightly above average for cities in its population rangebetween 5,000 and 9,999.

But our residential sewer rates are well below average.

Add the two, and Baker City residents pay less than people in most other cities.

Baker City's monthly charge for residential water and sewerservice,assuming a usage of5,000 gallons, is $53.51 (Baker City sends out bills every other month).

The statewideaverage forcitiesin the 5,000-9,999

a;~;

Chance of showers

That's $23.83 — or 44.5 percent — higher than Baker City's average.

Baker City's combined water-sewer rate also falls farbelow the average forallcitiesin theEastern Oregonregion,regardless ofpopulation.

The eastern average is $71.98 per month.

SALEM — The Oregon House of Representatives has unanimously approved a bill to designate a section of Oregon Highway 7 near Baker City as "Mabry Anders Memorial Highway" in honor of the Baker City soldier who was killed in Afghanistan on Aug. 27, 2012, at age 21.

Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-Ontariol introduced House Bill 2981, which designates Milepost 36, between Baker City and Phillips Reservoir, in honor of Anders.

In a floor speech in support of Anders hi s bill, Bentz said: "Colleagues, I am certain that you will join me in voting yes on this bill ... but we cannot letthisfamily leave us,we representatives ofallofthisgreatstate ofOregon,without saying clearly how much we appreciate, even though most of us cannot begin to understand, their sacrifice. And although certainly warranted, therecognition ofvalor offered in HB 2981 is nowhere near what this family, or any family of one who has given his or her life for their country, deserves."

House Bill 2981 will now move on to the Oregon Senate, where it is expected to pass unanimously.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 10, 1990 Baker High School's Company B swing choir practically owns the Newport Jazz Festival.

The group placed first for the fifth year in a row Saturday at Newport High School.

Moreover, in the past10 years Company B has notched eight first place victories in that competition.

BHS music instructor RichardTorrance said Company B competed against six other schools in its division. Twentysix members of the 29-member swing choir were able to make the trip.

Saxton will replace retiring Superintendent James Sager. The district approached Saxton to gauge his interest in the job, Northwest Regional spokeswoman Megan Stenberg said.

EDITORIAL

aws on' eer e aw ess The Oregon Legislature seems all but certain to pass a bill that we believe has little if any chance to achieve its goal.

That goal — to prevent convicted felons who aren't legally entitled to own a gun from buying one — is a worthwhile one, to be sure.

Senate Bill 941 would require people who want to buy a gun from a private seller to first undergo an Oregon State Police background check. There are exceptions — sales between relatives, for instance — but the bill would greatly expand the mandate for background checks, which are required now for people who buy guns at retail outlets or gun shows.

Critics deride SB 941 as an infringement on Second Amendment rights.

We don't think that's the case. The bill isn't intended to preclude anyone (except some felons) &om owning a gun. This is not a Constitutional issue.

But we should expect more &om laws. And the main reason we oppose SB 941 is that we don't think it actually would prevent felons from obtaining a gun. And that's the bill's only possible benefit to society.

ARer all, felons aren't the only people who use guns to commit crimes.

Indeed, many of the shooting sprees that the bill's proponents cite were committed by people who would have passed any background check.

Felons, meanwhile, have already shown what they think of laws. With guns readily available through clandestine sales or theR, any law requiring background checks is doomed to irrelevance.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: There is nothing wrong with reasonable restrictions on gun sales. Oregon law already requires criminal background checks for the sale of firearms at gun shows and from dealers.

Senate Bill941'spurpose isto closea loophole. It extends those background checks to salesby private gun sellers.

The law applies to sales directly from person to person and through the Internet. Six otherstateshave similarrules.

Of course, it matters how the law is writ-

ten. And, of course, it matters how the law might be implemented.

But requiring criminal background checks isreasonableforprivate gun sellers.Guns shouldn't change hands with no questions asked.

There are exceptions in the bill that attempt to keep it in the realm of the reasonable. The exemptions for gun deals between family members, inheritances, temporary transfers and more.

The proposedpenaltiesarenotoutrageous.

A seller that failed to take the necessary steps would face a Class A misdemeanor charge and could face up to a year in prison and a $6,250 fine or both. Subsequent offensescould face greater penalties.

The proposed law would also direct the Oregon State Police to inform local law enforcement if a person failed a criminal background check and was found to be ineligible to buy a gun. And judges would have to rule to decide if an individual participating in court-orderedtreatment fora m ental disor-

m 0 inionon a That Oregon's government should require almost everyone who wants to buy a gun to first undergo a background check isa legislative idea that sounds good.

But there are plenty of good ideas that make for bad laws.

Or at best, unnecessary ones.

Forinstance,more peopledie in car crashes in Oregon than are killed by someone who bought a gun illegally. ilf you read a headline proclaiming that"Gun deaths outnumber vehicle deaths in Oregon" or some variation of that theme, be wary.

That statement is true only if the gun deaths include suicides, which in recent years accounted for about 80 percent of such deaths. Reducing the number of suicides, though obviously a laudable goal, is not a significant part of the campaign in Oregonto mandate background checks for gun buyers.)

Yet despite the danger that automobiles pose to the populace, Oregon lawmakers aren't trying to force everyone who wants to buy a car, whether at a dealership or trom some guyin an alley, to pass a driving competency test before claiming the keys and the title.

This is in part because such a law would be expensive and — I'm being charitable — cumbersome to

JAYSON JACOBY enforce.

But also, it wouldn't work.

And for basically the same reason, I don't think Oregon's Senate Bill 941 — the misleadingly titled "Oregon Firearms Safety Act — will work, either. iLegislators seem to think they can make guns safer by passing a law that includes the phrase "firearms safety," which is absurd; what makes a gun safe, or not safe, is the person wielding it.)

The problem with trying to legislate safety, whether guns or cars is the subject, is that both items are ubiquitous.

It is impossible, without putting all privately owned vehicles and guns under government control, for the Legislature to have even a token effect on the ease with which peoplecan procure eitherdevice.

But let's concede for the sake of argument — we might as well indulge in fantasy, since lawmakers areprone to mistaking the theoreticalworld forthereal— thatOregonians would comply with SB 941 without exception. In other words,

every gun buyer would pass muster by way of a background check. And every person who, because of a felony conviction or other reason is legally barred from owning a gun, wouldn't be able to buy one.

I've seen no compelling evidence that this law, even with universal compliance, would prevent criminals who intend to use a gun for ill purposes trom getting one.

Stealing has been a crime for decades, after all, but that hardly deters people from pilfering pistols.

And of course many of the people who commit mayhem with a gun weren't, up til then, criminals, so the ostensible safety net of SB 941, however fine its mesh, wouldn't snare them anyway.

Some backers ofbackground checks concede that SB 941 is no panaceatotheproblem ofguntoting criminals.

A common argument that naturally follows this admission is that, well, even if this law prevents only one death, then it's worthwhile.

This is an attractive conceit.

Attractive enough, in fact, that I'veendorsed itin thepast.

But after giving quite a lot more thought to the matter, it seems to me now that that position is meaninglessbecause itcan'tbe proved.

I don't mean that the government

der could possess or purchase a gun.

We know that criminals are not going to obey the law. But this bill should better ensure that it is more diKcult for criminals to get guns.

Will this bill definitely make society safer?

No. Does this bill unravel gun rights?

No. SB 941 places reasonable restrictions to ensure guns are not in the hands of criminals.

ro u n

couldnever prove,forinstance,that a person who tried to buy a gun was denied because a background check showed he is a convicted felon.

That already happens occasionally under current laws that require prospective buyersto submit to background checks at gun shops and shows.

But no one can know that a particular person would have used a particular gun to commit a crime, much less a murder.

Ultimately, it seems to me that the lawmakers who support SB 941 aresatisfied taking symbolic steps to, as the saying goes,"keep guns out of criminals' hands."

The idea is so popular — not even Wayne LaPierre advocates for felons to legally amass arsenals, after all — that the vital question of whether the law can actually accomplishthat goalgetsburied by an avalanche ofhyperbolic claims and counter-claims about the Second Amendment and gun-grabbers.

This is a pity.

Government has no more important task than protecting innocent

people.

No matter that it is in effect impossible toprevent thugs from getting guns, except by employing the sortsoftacticswhich arefavored by dictat ors butare abhorrentto

e

Americans of all political persuasions.

If it's relatively easy for lawmakerstoboastthatthey arein fact deprivingfelonsfrom getting guns, then they will continue to endorse the likes of SB 941.

But the true threat to the innocent, of course, is not guns, but other people.

We ought to focus, then, on incarcerating criminals and on identifying, and treating, people who have mental problems that could make them violent.

This, of course, is a monumental task — vastly more diKcult, certainly, than legislating background checks. But of course it is anathema for most politicians to admit they can't solve society's every problem.

The goal can't be accomplished by threatening law-abiding gun owners — which is almost all of themwith big fines and jail terms if they fail to fill out some forms. Yet that's precisely what SB 941 does.

So long as lawmakers act as though guns are more dangerous than the people who use them for evil purposes, I expect we'll continue to be stuck with laws that provoke a lot ofloud arguments but in the end mean very little.

OREGON'S DROUGHT

Klamathfarmerswill getlittle more thanhalf ofnormalwalerlhisyear

By Jeff Bamard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS —Farmers on a federal irrigation project straddling the Oregon-Calif ornia border are slatedto get65 percent ofthe water they expect in a wet year this growing season, due to the lack of mountain snowpackthatfeeds reservoirs.

The allocation announced Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is a little more than last year, but represents the fourth straight year of cutbacks due to drought.

Because of the complex network of irrigation districts, reservoirs and contracts on the 300-squaremile Klamath Reclamation District, some farmers will get 100 percent of what they do in a wet year, while others will get zero, said Greg Addington of the Klamath Water Users Association. The state is unlikely to authorize more groundwaterpumping to supplement surface water supplies, because so much has been pumped in recent

FERRIOLI Continued ~om Page1A Ferrioli said the Cole Memorandum fiom the US Department of Justice requires states that have legalized marijuana to make an effort to curtail illicit sales of the drug.

"After July 1, Oregonians can do everything but buy it," Ferrioli said."If people cannot buy it anywhere in the state legally, where do you suppose the estimated half a million recreati onalcannabisusers are going to get?"

Ferrioli believes that if people could buy pot fiom existing medical dispensaries, that could help to curtail the black market sales of marijuana.

Oregon voters endorsed recreational marijuana legalization by approving Measure 91 in November.

The measure allows people to use, possess and grow marijuana, and to give it, for no charge, to others.

But commercial sales will not be allowed until the Oregon Liquor Control Commission lOLCCl writes rules and regulations as outlined in the measure.

Ferrioli said Oregon could be potentially violating the Cole Memorandum.

The OLCC expects to issue licenses to growers, processors and retailers in early January, but agency officials don't expect retail sales to start until late 2016.

Ferrioli also talked about the local regulation of marijuana.

"I will do everything I can to defend the local jurisdictions right to make decisions lregarding regulation)," he said. "Out of 36 counties, 22 of them voted overwhelmingly against legalization."

Ferrioli said that in 10 out of 11 counties in his district, a majorit y ofvotersopposed Measure 91, including Baker County.

He emphasized that he did notsupportthelegalization of recreational marijuana.

"If folks don't want it lsales in their community) that's theirprerogative,"he said." Do you think that a retail marijuana outlet in downtown Baker City would contribute to the downtown ambience that we're trying attract peopletovisit?"

The Baker City Council last

years, he added.

"I think it's going to be a hard year," he said."I think peopleare goingtogethurt."

Dry years have spelled tough times for Klamath farmers since 2001, when the Endangered Species Act for ced major irrigation cutbacksto leavewater for protected sucker fish and salmon. Leading crops are alfalfa, potatoes,horseradishand pasture forlivestock.

When irrigation was restored in 2002, tens of thousands of adult salmon died in the lower Klamath River from diseasesthat spread in low and warm water conditions.

The irrigation shutotfs and fish kill prompted farmers to get together with Indian tribes, conservation groups, salmon fishermen and others to work out agreements to remove dams that block salmon

on the Klamath River, restore environmentaldamage, and share water in dry years.

But they have languished for years in Congress, blocked by House Republicans.

Brian Person, acting Klamath Project manager for the Bureau of Reclamation, said the allocation took into account minimum amounts mandated for threatened and endangered fish. He added the bureau would do all it could to maximize water use, such as holding back water when rain makes irrigation unnecessary, and facilitating transfers of water trom lowvalue crops to higher-value crops. ''We recognize the seriousness of the situation, and that thereare livelihoods atstake with an allocation like this," he said.

The allocation means no water at all for local wildlife refuges, except on lands leasedto farmers to grow crops, said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Matt Baun.

"There will be less food and

less habitat," Baun said."It will be similar to last year, when thousands ofbirds died by the middle of summer with avian botulism."

Jim McCarthy of the conservation group WaterWatch said Fish and Wildlife has a 1905 water right, the same asthe irrigation project, and should be using it to put water on marshes, instead of passingiton tofarmers leasingrefugeland to grow crops.

He added that the watersharing agreements fail to curtail water use enough to meet the continued demand.

Addington said the allocationwas more ofacap than a minimum amount of water, because no one knows for sure just how much water will flow into the project' sprimary reservoir, Upper Klamath Lake, as the summer wears on. Though precipitation has been close to normal, warm temperatures have meant little fell as snow — an unprecedented situation that makes stream flow predictions fiom snowpack difficult.

month approved an ordinance banning all commercial sales of marijuana, whether for recreational or medicinal purposes, in the city.

Ferrioli said he just wants to follow the Cole Memorandum.

"The last thing I want to do is make my constituents think that I am somehow in favor of all this. The law says that on July 1 Oregonians will havetherighttorecreational

use," he said.

Rona Lindsey, who owns Hwy 30 Cannabis, a medical marijuana dispensary in La Grande, said if the legislation Ferriol iproposesbecame law it would be business as usual for her.

"I don't have one negative or positive thing to say labout the legislation)," she said.

Lindsey wasn't sure how her business would be affected by the possibility of rec-

reational sales at her medical marijuana dispensary, but she would sell it if the legislation became law.

"It's going to have to be a wait and see kind of thing on this side of the state," she said."Idon'tsee alotof recreational use happening in La Grande."

Lindsey said the reason she is in business is to provide marijuana to those who need itformedicalreasons.

"I thinkit'sgoing to be a

hard year. I think people are going to get hurt."

In the spring of 2014, the Baker City Herald published my three-part series of arti cles about Baker's former Japanese residents, whose lives were profoundly affected by Japan's Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor and the immediate declaration of war by the United States.

Today,after severalmore months of research and writing, I continue the serieswith the storiesof what happened to the following Japanese families, some of whom had resided here for several decades: • Today: Kurata, Hayashi, Hirata • Monday, April 13: Kajikawa/Kobayashi.

• Wednesday, April 15: Yamaoka, Yasui.

I am indebted to members of these families and to Dr. Priscilla Wegars of the University of Idaho for sharing with me her 1998 research of these same Japanese families.

Residential customers in Baker City are billed a flat rateof$18.64 for sewer service.

Baker City Finance Director Jeanie Dexter said three factorsdetermine when water ratesare raised.

The first is inflation.

Inflation is the deciding factor when the City Council determines whether rates are raised on a yearly basis or not.

Dexter said inflation is based on the Consumer Price Index iCPIl, which actually declined in the most recent release last month. That is why she is recommending to the City Council to not raise water rates for this year.

Dexter speculated that the CPI — and inflationdidn't increase in February because oflow fuel prices.

That translates to loweroperating costsforthe city.

Small water rate increases tied to inflation began in 2007, Dexter said.

That wasa change to the city'sprevious practiceofleaving waterratesaloneforseveralyears,butthen passing a comparativelylargeincrease.

'The Council made the decision at that time that they don'twant toeverhave topasson alargeincrease to consumers in the future," Dexter said."They want to be able to do a modest increase every year to keep up with inflation."

Besides inflation, capitol projects, such as last year's construction of a UV water treatment plant, influence water rates as well. ''When we were doing the UV project last year, we increased the rate to fund future debt that we were going to incur," Dexter said.

That increase was 5 percent.

The third factor in determining rate increases is to raise money for potential future projects.

"One question that does come up is do we need to be putting money aside for bigger projects iin the future)?"

Dexter said.

The city is in the process of updating its Water Facilities Master Plan. Once that is completed, the city might find that there are future projects that could require a rate increase to fund them. ''We want to be proactive. We want to keep rates as low as we can but don't want to create a funding disaster in the future," Dexter said."All of a sudden we could be mandated to implement filtration — a $15 million project — and there' snoreserves setasideforthat.W e're trying to begood stewards and keep rateslow."

The men were released Monday noon afterclose ofinterrogation by city police and city officials.u Yi-Tuboro is no doubt a misspelling of the first name of Jitsutaro Kurata, who was manager of the Crabill Hotel near the depot. Okafugi was a janitor at Harrison's Restaurant at 1833 Main. I know nothing about Ace. In early 1942, FBI agents showed up at the Crabill Hotel and informed manager Jitsutaro Kurata that, due to his Japanese ethnicity, he and his family would have to move from the area of the Union Pacific Railway tracks.

Wegars says that the federalgovernment designated most of downtown Baker as a sensitive area from which Japanese were excluded, including the area of the railway depot.

The three-story Crabill Hotel was located at2908 Broadway St., just across the street from the Union Pacific depot 4oth buildings now gone). The U.S. government consideredallpersons of Japanese descent as possible risks to the safety of railway transportati on.

Kurata's previous employment may have contributed to the government's order.

For several years before becoming manager of the Crabill Hotel in 1935, Kurata worked on a section crew doing track maintenance for Sumpter Valley Railway.

During that employment the Kurata family lived in company housing in Sumpter Valley and then in Baker just w est of the railroad tracks not far from the Baker depot and Crabill Hotel.

Kurata immigrated to the U.S. in 1900 and his wife, Kuni, in 1922. In 1942, the Kurata family consisted of

Curry sets 3-pt. record as Warriors top Trail Blazers

By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercttyherald.com

For the second straight game Baker hammered Fruitland in nonleague softball action Thursday at the Baker Sports Complex.

The Bulldogs defeated Fruitland 15-1 Saturday, then bounced the Grizzlies 12-2 in five innings Thursday.

Baker slugged 12 hits Thursday, including five for extra bases.

'The girls have been swinging the bats really well," said Baker coach Alan McCauley.

Fruitland touched up Baker starting pitcher Sierra Koehler for two runs in the first two innings without benefit of a hit.

Koehler was wild in her three-inning stint, walking five and hitting a batter. She did not allow a hit, however.

Dani McCauley threw the final two innings, allowing four hits and no runs.

"Getting our other pitchers some work will allow us to go with Morgan Plumbtree in both games against Ontario Saturday," McCauley said.

Baker opens its Greater Oregon League season Saturday at Ontario.

Dani McCauley's two-run first-inning double propelled Baker into a 2-2 tie after two innings.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry never talks about his case for NBA MVP unless he's asked. Instead, he prefers to let his play speak for itself Note to Curry: The message is coming through loud and clear.

Curry eclipsed his own NBA record for most 3-pointers in a season, scoring 45 points to rally the Golden State Warriors to a 116-105 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night.

Winning pitcher Sierra Koehler lined a hit to drive in a pair of runs against Fruitland.

Baker then took the lead for good with three runs in the third inning.

Nicole Parsons opened the inning with a single and advanced to third on a double

by Kayla Davis.

One out later, Koehler slapped a two-run triple to right field. She later scored on an RBI hit by Gracie Hardy.

Baker then bunched five hits with three walks, an error and a sacrifice fly to score

seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Koehler singled and LaKalyn Thomas walked before Hardy's double off the top of the leftfield fence scored both runners. Hardy scored on a single by Plumbtree.

Savannah Stephens reached base on an error, and Mollie McCrary walked to load the bases.

Parsons then plated another run with a sacrifice fly

to right.

Davis walked before McCauley singled in a run.

Then, with the bases loaded, McCauley scored the final run on a wild pitch to end the game.

• Killgore Adventures oA'ers a boating experience on the Snake River

By Rich Landers The (Spokane, Wash.) Spokesman Review

WHITE BIRD, IdahoHells Canyon might be God's best-kept hideaway if you're a hiker seeking solitude, a fit hunter pursuing game or an angler hoping to catch smallmouth bass, steelhead and sturgeon until your arms are numb.

Jetboat operatorsprovide the divine intervention to answer your prayers.

The Snake River is the freeway to the canyon experience. Starting from Hells Gate State Park in Lewiston,boaterscan navigate 104 miles of wild country upstream to Hells Canyon Dam, built in 1967. They can, that is, if they have the skills to negotiate rapids that range to class 4 and class 5.

The International Scale of River DifIjlculty defines class 5 whitewater as "Extremely long, obstructed or very violent rapids which expose a paddler to added risk.

Drops may contain large, unavoidable waves and holes or steep, congested chutes with complex, demanding routes..."

But in a properly outfitted jet boat with a skilled pilot, class 4-5 is defined as family fun. cWe just had our first trip of the 2015 season on Thursday," said Heather Killgore, who started Killgore Adventures with her husband, Les, and son, Kurt, in 2002.

"Itwas part ofa spring break trip for a family that

has a goal of exploring the highlights of Idaho," she said &om their lodge in White Bird."Hells Canyon is definitely one of them."

The 652,488-acre Hells Canyon National Recreation Area generall y straddlesthe Snake where it forms the boundary between Idaho and Oregon.

The Killgores also raise longhorncattle,guidedeer hunters and host longrange shooting events on their 1,600-yard range. But they focus their outfitting operations in the wilderness core of canyon — the 32.5 river miles &om Pittsburg Landing upstream to Hells Canyon Dam, as well as the nearby Salmon River.

They organize a Memorial Day weekend ATV riding tourthatattracts about 200 people, butthecompany is best-known for the year-round adventures they deliver by jet boat.

"The whitewater is just part of the experience," Kurt Killgore said during one ofhis popular 65-mile round trip tours to the dam and back.

"Elk,deer and evenbighorn sheep are especially visible as they winter along the river.

The fishing in particular is world-class during summer, and wetakecareofsteelheaders and hunters in fall."

Sometimes hikers book ajetboatride upstream so they can follow all or a portion of the trails that run along Snake River &om Hells Canyon Dam back downstream. The trail on the

Rich Landers/The(Spokane,Wash.) Spokesman Review

Kurt Killgore of Killgore Adventures based in Whitebird, Idaho, pilots his jet boat up Granite Creek Rapids, the largest Snake River rapids in Hells Canyon.

Idaho side is well-tended.

The trail on the Oregon side is more rugged, with a good spur up the Imnaha River.

Jet boat tours mightinvolve stops and historic sites along the river, induding Kirkwood Historic Ranch and Museum.

Lunch might be at Hells Canyon Dam with a visit to the Forest Service visitor center. Idaho Power's tlnee Hells Canyon hydropower projects — induding Oxbow and Brownlee dams upstream — produce 70 percent of the company's power output.

Kurt Killgore, 35, started taking the controls of a jet boat in Hells Canyon whitewater for the first time in 1999 on practice runs with his family.

"I'd go a little farther upriver each weekend," he said.

"It's shell-shocking the first time you take a wave to the windshield and can't see. You need time and experience to be comfortable with that."

About six months of run-

ning the rapids both directionsisneeded to getthe river down as a pilot, he said.

"On theother hand,some guys never learn it," he said.cYou have to read the river and understand how it changes as the flows go up and down.

"A rock can't hide from you in swift water. It's the calm water where they can hide.

The middle of the river is your fiiend for the most part, but certai n placesgo against all the rules. In those places you have to be taught by somebody with experience."

About 15 jet-boat operators arelicensed tooperateon the Snake in Hells Canyon.

Most of the guides based in Lewiston come upstream only as far as Dug Bar, since a marathon trip to Hells Canyon Dam would be uncomfortably long.

During summer, jet boats are allowed to run Thursdays to Sundays, and the other

days are reserved for nonmotorized boating, primarily rafters and kayakers heading downstream on multiple-day trips from the dam.

'The jet boat opens the experience to everyone," Killgore said."Ifyou can sit down, you canrun whitewater."

Killgore tries to customize the trips to the group and the weather. cWe can stay dry, but we might run one rapid multiple times on a hot day in a way thatsoaks thepassengers if they're up for it — and they usually are. They dry out in no time."

Heading up the river, Killgore pointed out numerous landmarks, including Rush Creek, Bills and Water Spout rapids as well as Kirby Creek Lodge, Kirkwood Ranch, Temperance Creek Ranch, Sand Creek Fish and Game Cabin and Sheep Creek Ranch — all remote and all but Kirkwood acces-

sible only by boat or trail.

Some attractions are not so obvious to the unacquainted.

Slowing the 30-foot jet boattoapurron a stretch of smooth deep, dark water, Killgore baits a rod and casts it out with enough weight to knock a black bear silly.

Guests barely have time for a snack before Erika Holmes is summoned to do the heavy lifbng. A sturgeon has taken the bait and the fight is on.

About 20 minutes later, Holmes — muscle weary and dampened with sweat — reeledup a 6-foot-long sturgeon.

'Think whatit would feel like to land one of the 9- or 10-footers," Killgore said before theyreleased the gentle giant.

"Our most popular thing with customers is the Sturgeon Bass Trout Trip we do in summer," he said."Families come with the kids and SeeBoat Trip/Page 2C

WEEICLYHUNTING REPORT

Plenty of black bears available for hunting season Spots still open for horsemanship class WALLOWA COUNTY: Spring bear season starts next week, and a good density of black bears exists throughout the district. Most of the snow is gone from mid- and low-elevation areas of the district, although more snow is in the forecast for this week. Bears will begin waking up and making forays away from their dens in search of early season foods, such as green grass, ground squirrels, and roots and tubers. In spring, black bears are fair weather fellows and really only venture out of their dens on warm, sunny days. The best strategy for finding them is to sit on a spot with a good view of open canyon sides and use binoculars or a spotting scope to locate them. The animals feed off and on during all daylight hours and patience is the order of the day when spotting spring bears.

BIICING

Butte iking ontionstoexnlorein entral regon

By Mark Moricai WesCom News Service

REDMOND — After a historically mild winter, mountain bike season is starting early in Central Oregon. Trails west of Bend that are normally not ridable until June have been busy since February.

The Wanoga complex has been snow-free for weeks, at leastbefore these most recent storms.

But even with all the mountain biking available close to Bend, I still wanted to exploremore traditional early-season trails on the high desert to start out the 2015 edition of Mountain Bike Trail Guide.

I texted a mountain biking friend last week, asking ifhe would join me on a ride at Cline Buttes, west of Redmond.

His response: "Wanoga is clear. You should be riding closer to town."

Well, Cline Buttes was an area I had never really ridden much,and Ifigured now was the time, as such desertlike trails will no doubt become toosandy earlier than normal this year.

The trails on Cline Buttes, including a narrow singletrack path that wraps around the buttes and two downhill trails that start from the top of the highest butte, are part of the Bureau of Land Management's Cline Buttes Recreation Area. The area, which is

Mark MoricalNVescom News Service

Dustin Gouker, of Bend, rides the singletrack around Cline Buttes. undergoing trail and trailhead developments, also includes the sprawling trail network at Maston, across Cline Falls Highway from the buttes.

Although I have experienced Maston many times, I had never biked the singletrack on Cline Buttes.

Part of that was the fact I had never found the singletrack there. Maps of the area arehard to find,butI located one on the website www.mtbproject.com, as well as a description of an 8-mile loop on the buttes.

After some persuading, my friend came along on the drive north from Bend through Tumalo and toward Eagle Crest Resort on a crisp, sunny day last week.

The "trailhead" is not well-marked. We made a left-hand turn off Cline Falls Highway and drove through a cattle guard gate a coupleofmiles before Maston's Juniper Trailhead and parked the car.

The singletrack started about100 yards to theleft off the dirt road. The trail

was already somewhat dusty and extremely narrow.

We rolled through juniper trees and sagebrush and soon began to climb in earnest. The trail went from dusty to hard and tacky, even with some shale. And it became increasingly narrow as we climbed.

We made a left onto a rocky road, then picked up the singletrack again to the right after climbing a few hundred yards.

The singletrack narrowed to almost 10 inches in spots, and to our right was

a fairl y treacherous dropoff. Redmond, Smith Rock State Park and the Ochoco Mountains sprawled out to the east, and soon we turned west as we wrapped our way around Cline Buttes.

Once we were on the west side, snow-covered Cascade peaks dominated the horizon. I knew we would climb a dirt road to the summit of the butte — but I wasn't sure which road and which butte.

W e made laefton a dirt road that went to the top of the middle of the three buttes, then, after some searching, descended a dangerously steep trail all the way back to the car.

At the car, after some discussion, we realized we had taken the wrong dirtroad and climbed the wrong butte.

So we decided to go again, since we had ridden 6 miles and were not gassed just yet.

We climbed the singletrack a second time, but this time, we stayed on said singletrack until we wrapped around the highest butte, then made a left on a dirt road to the summit.

The singletrack on the west side of Cline Buttes is special, not only because of the view of the Cascades towering over an endless expanse of juniper trees, but also because of the unique, rolling, side-hill character of the trail.

The climb up the road to the top is tough, but not impossible, and we stayed on our bikes for most of the ascent.

Surrounding the summit of thebutte, at 4,067 feet, is abarbed-wire fence that protects a radio facility, and the two downhill trails can be found after riding for abitto the right ofthe fence.

We took the second trail we came to, and it was one of thesteepest Ihave ever encountered, with several technical rock sections. We w alked several portions of the descent, but we became more confident as the trail flattened out a bit toward the bottom.We rode over a few jumps, and then the trail eventually merged into the singletrack trail that we rode from the start of the ride.

Both downhill trails are for advanced riders only, and riding the original singletrack as an out-and-back route is an option for those who want to avoid the challenging downhill.

The ride ended up being about 14 miles, although the loop itself is about 8 miles.

It wasa perfectway to start the season, with rolling singletrack, gut-busting climbs and impressive views.

Now, on to the endless other mountain biking options this spring in Central Oregon.

BOATTRIP Continued from Page1C grandparents, and everybody is happy. We can stop in some areas where the kids can catch a bass almost on every castand then go aftera big sturgeon, enjoy a good boat ride and run the rapids."

The trip includes seven major rapids that mustbe negotiated up and downstream, including two dass 4s that can range to dass 5 — Wild Sheep and Granite Creek Some rapids require banking around rocks and positioninginto the right angles to dimb the river stair steps.

Although he has two 550-horsepower engines at his service, Killgore doesn't just roar up the &othing waves of Granite. He gets partly into the deafening rush of current, eases off the throttle, side slips off a pillow of water and then eases down on the lever to power tons of aluminum and eight guests over the top.

"Allofa jet-boat operator's money is made or lost in the big rapids," Killgore said."This boat isso expensive because it has the pumps and motors set up for running the big rapids.

Some boats aren't."

Hells Canyon is the deepest canyon on the North American continent, about 8,000feetifm easured from the Snake River's Granite Creek Rapid up to the summit of He Devil Peak, elevation9,393 feet.

"It's a funny coincidence thatthe biggestrapid is at the deepestpartofthe canyon," Killgore said.

Wildlife viewing is a major hit with jet boat guests.

Depending on the day, they mightseea black bear,river otter, bighorn sheep, deer or a number of other critters.

Bald eagles and ducks trackedthe boat several times as Killgore cruised downstream.

He cut the power for everyone to enjoy seeing a group of elk on a ridge above.

'There's something special about a place where you see elk," said Jeremy Harris, a guest on the trip."There's something whole and right aboutit."

There are people in this country eating too much red meat. They should cut back.

What's getting harder to justify, though, is a focus on any one nutrient as a culprit for everyone.

Americans are more overweight and obese than they pretty much have ever been.

There's also no question that we are eating more meat than in previous eras. But we've actually been reducing our red meat consumption forthe pastdecade orso.This hasn't resulted in a huge decreasein obesity ratesor deathsfrom cardiovascular disease.

It's possible that no food has been attacked as widely or as loudly in the past few decades as red meat.

INSURANCE Continued from Page6C By 2018, a quarter of employees who get insurance through work will pick a plan through the private markets, according to Accenture.

"It's clearly the way health care is heading," said Jean Moore, a managing director at Towers Watson & Co., which runs online benefits markets for employers.

The change represents a fundamental shift in the employer-employee relationship and mirrors trends in President Barack Obama's health care law, also known as Obamacare, under which the government gives people tax credits to help them buy insurance on government markets.

It might also put more of the financial burden ofhealth care on workers, though it can save employers money and bolster earnings at benefits consultants such as Towers Watson and Aon. Towers Watson gets about 10 percentofitssalesby operating the online portals for its clients, and exchange revenue grew the fastest among the company's major business lines in the final three months of last year.

Although privately run insurance exchanges areseparate from the marketplaces operated by the U.S. government and some states under the law, the same principle applies: Individuals choose from plans with different premiums, copayments, deductibles and coverageoptions.About 11.7 m illion people enrolled in government-run marketplaces this year.

Employers can benefit from switching to a private exchange because they can set aside a fixed amount of money that workers use to pick an insurance option from companies such as UnitedHealth Group, Aetna and Oigna. Although that could be good for rela-

tively healthy employees, who are expected to choose cheaper plans, it could mean other workersare leftcovering more ofthecostsout of pocket.

Private exchanges help employers limit what they pay for health benefits, but it's not clear whether they help keep health care costs under control, said Rich Birhanzel, managing director for Accenture Health Administration Services. If they don't, workers could be responsibl efor an increasing share oftheir healthcare costsovertim e.

Midsized companies have been the main users of private exchanges, Birhanzel said. He saidhe expects largeremployers to increasingly use the portals as well, especially in preparation fora federallevy on high-cost health plans, dubbed the Cadillac Tax. That 40 percent tax on costly health benefits, partoftheAffordable Care Act,starts in 2018. It will initially hit family plans on which premiums exceed $27,500 and individualplans costing atleast$10,200.

Premiums for family coverage averaged $16,834in 2014,up 3percentfrom ayear earlierand compared with $5,791 in 1999, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Workers picked up about $4,823 of the tab.

people only 50 to 65. But if you look at people older than 65,the opposite was true.

High protein was associated with lower levels of all-cause and cancer-specific mortality. If you truly believe this study proves what people say, then we should advisepeople older than 65 to eat more meat. No one advises that.

Further, this study defined people in the "high protein" group as those eating 20 percentormore oftheir calories from protein. When the Department of Agriculture recommends that Americans get 10to35 percent oftheir calories from protein,20 percent should not be considered

high.

If I wanted to cherry-pick studies myself, I might point you to this 2013 study that used the same NHANES data to conclude that meat consumption is not associated with mortality at all.

eatinglessred meat today than any time since the 1970s. Doctors' recommendations haven't been ignored.

W e're alsodoing abitbetter in our consumption of vegetables. Our consumption of carbohydrates, like grains and sugar, however, has been on the rise. This is, in part, a result of our obsession with avoiding fats and red meat.

We're eating too many calories, butnotnecessarily in the same way. Reducing what we're eating too much of in a balanced manner would seem like the most sensible approach.

Last fall, a meta-analysis of brand-namedietprograms was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study compared the results from both the individual diets themselves and three classes, which included lowcarbohydrate ilike Atkins), moderate macronutrient iWeight Watchers) and low-

fat iOrnishl.

All of the diets led to reduced caloric intake, and all of them led to weight loss at six months and, to a lesser extent, at 12 months. There was no clear winner, nor any clear loser.

Where does that leave us?

It's hard to find a takehome message better than this: The best diet is the one that you're likely to keep.

What isn't helpful is picking a nutritional culprit of bad health and proclaiming thateveryone elseiseating wrong. There's remarkably littl e evidence that that'strue anytime anyone does it.

Private exchanges can give workers more choices, Moore said. Some might opt for reduced benefits, whereas others will pay for comprehensive coverage.

"Employers have been shifting more and more costs to their employees because they can't afford not to," Moore, of Towers Watson & Co., said."The thing about exchanges that reallyprovides value toemployees isthat there's so much choice, so as an employee is faced with a set amount from the employer, they have a number of different options."

ysisofm eat-dietstudies, including those above, found that people in the highest consumption group of all red meat had a 29 percent relative increase in all-cause mortality compared with those in the lowest consumption group.

But most of this was driven by processed red meats, like bacon, sausage or salami.

Epidemiologic evidence can take us only so far. As I've written before,those typesof studies can be flawed. Nothing illustrates this better than a classic 2012 systematic review that pretty much showed that everything we eatisassociated with both higher and lower rates of cancer.

We really do need randomized controlled trials to answer these questions. They do exist ,butwith respectto effects on lipid levels such as cholesterol and triglycerides.

A meta-analysis examining eight trials found that beef versus poultry and fish consumption didn't change cholesterol or triglyceride levels significantly.

All of this misses the bigger point, though. It's important to understand what"too much" really is.

People in the highest consumption group of red meat had one to two servings a day. The people in the lowest group had about two servings per week. If you're eating multipleservings ofred meat a day, then, yes, you might want to cut back. I would wagerthatmost people reading this aren't eating that much.

Ifyou eata couple ofservings a week, then you're most likely doing fine.

A growing number of Americans are no longer getting health insurance directly kom work as companies quit administering benefits, which will send about 40 million people to shop for coverage by 2018, a study estimates.

Instead of picking a companywide health plan, employers are increasingly giving workers financial support to choose their own kom a menu of options.

For 2015, 6 million workers selected coveragekom marketsrun by private benefits administrators, according to a study kom Accenture.

That's double the number in the previous year, when employees of Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., Sears Holdings Corp. and Darden Restaurants Inc. had to go shop on their own.

"Something wasn't right, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Every- • thing was making me cry. I cried becauseIhad to gotowork,Icried because it was raining, I just cried....

The sobbing was coming from somewhere inside of me, somewhere I'd never felt," wrote DeFord in an essay about her mother, Leona Kinsey.

Later that morning, DeFord felt a LM tug on her heartstrings. At work DeFord, who then lived in Lacey, Washington, was told there was an urgent message on her phone.

The message was trom Nancy, a La Grande woman who was a good fiiend of DeFord's mom. The women said on the recorded message that DeFord s mother had gone to Albertsons the day before and was supposed to s t opbyherhouse while returning home. Nancy was concerned because Kinsey never showed up.

DeFordwas not alarmed initially. ''Well, Momwas a grown woman, and it wasn't unlike her to spontaneously changeplans, so I didn't take the news too seriously," wrote DeFord.

So she returned Nancy's call and told her not to worry.

COLD CASES

SMALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES LIMITED BY BUDGETS

By Pat Caldwell ,

For people committed to public safety, cold casespresent more than just an example of unfinished business.

Unsolved crimes seem to cut right to the center of the ethos of American law enforcement, where m easuredand appropriatejustice stands as a hallmark of a democratic system.

Cold cases — especially crimes that involve homicide — can't be easily filed away or forgotten.

"Obviously the most important message, and especially to families, is wedon'tforgetthosecases,"La Grande Police Department Chief Brian Harvey said."These types of cases, they tend to haunt us."

Harvey said delivering a resolution to the family members of a victim is often the crucial fuel that drives law enforcement officers. eWe know that was someone's child or spouse. We want to bring them closure and find justice," Harvey said.

Finding justice, investigating crimesthatareoften decades old, can be especially diKcult for small police departments in rural areas.

Long-term investigations into old crimes consumes manpower and money. In small police departments,

LEONA Continued frorn Page 2D describe hermom's character, she quickly refers to a typical exchange they would have when saying good-bye to each other.

"She would say'I love you,' and I would say'I love you two,' and then Mom would say 'I love you three, I love you four,'" said DeFord, who now lives in Yelm, Washington.

Kinsey had a soft spot in her heart for the underdog, a traitherdaughter learned at a young age. DeFord noted that when she was in school, her mom would make her reachoutto peoplein school who were not popular.

"She would say you should go sit with that person isomeone who others may have been staying away from)," DeFord said. "She was very compassionate for the less fortunate."

DeFord said the worst thing a person could be in her mother's eyes was to be disrespectfu lofothers.

At the time ofher disappearance, Kinsey was 5-foot5, 110 pounds, with brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. She wore glasses.

Motorists in the La Grande area may someday be reminded on a daily basis of Kinsey, as DeFord is considering putting up a billboard with her mom's photo on it.

"It would keep her memory fresh," she said.

M emories ofa person of whom compassion for others was complemented by a light touch.

"She was very nurturing and had a silly sense of humor," DeFord said.

In one of DeFord's favorite photos ofher mom, she is holding a telephone playfully.

The photo reveals one of Kinsey's endearing character traits.

"She was carefree and had no worries. That is how I remember her," DeFord said.

She credits her mom with beinga sourceofinspiration that she carries within herself to this day.

"She instilled in me the attitude that it is important to always do the best you can," DeFord explained.

Kinsey disappeared when her daughter was in her mid-20s.

aside and put together a team. I've been a cop for 30 years, iand I know that)thesetypesofcasesdon'tjustgo away," he said.

Down inMalheur County,Sherif Brian Wolfe agreed with Harvey that relatively small law enforcement departments face resource challenges when tackling cold cases. eWe don't have a unit that investigatescold cases,"he said.

Wolfe, though, said finding a resolution to cold cases is still a priority.

"Any time you have these types of cases, you have a victim that hasn't been served," he said.

W olfe said there are tw ocases in particular in Malheur County he wants to solve someday. One involves a rape and the other the apparentdrowning death ofanurse who worked at an area hospital back in 2001.

The case of the nurse — Mae Hori, then 44 — in early 2001 still resonates with Wolfe.

"It was finally ruled an accidental drowning. But I'd like to have the resources to pick that apart. From time to time it bothers me," he said.

Harvey agrees that the uncertainty left in the wake of an unsolved crime is unsettling. eTo never have closure, no one should have to go through that," Harvey said.

La Grande Police Chief Brian Harvey opens an evidence locker in the police department's evidence room.

Harvey says small departments are limited by tight budgets but that they don't forgot cold cases. often a shortage in law enforcement personnel means supervisors and managers must make difficult resource allocation decisions.

"Typically in most departments we havea fullworkload.The bot-

tom line is I can't put a team of investigat ors on each cold case.So there is a practical aspect to it. At the end ofthe day we have towork within a budget," Harvey said.

However, Harvey said his depart-

"I hope they reach out to us. I would love nothing better than to call her daughter and say We found your mom,"'he said.

we are ready to heal. Itis time to find all the pieces of this puzzle and put them together."

Seven years later, DeFord saidthat shegetsexcited each spring when people in this area start venturing outdoors more and more.

FROMTHE REPORTER DICK MASON

This 10-week series will take readers through 10 unsolved cases of homicides and disappearances.

April 3:

3ama Harms Harms, a 19-year-old assistant manager and former college student, was found slain in her downtown La Grande apartment in October 1995.

Today: Leona Kinsey Leona Kinsey, a 45-year-old mother who ran a local landscaping business, disappeared from La Grande in October 1999 without a trace, and today few — if any — traces have been found.

April 17: Sylvia Heitstuman Law enforcement exhausted their efforts but despite it all, the most challenging aspect of Sylvia Heitstuman's case is the fact that she knew so many people.

Leads in the case are all dead ends.

April 24:

Doug VanLeuven

t

never met Leona Kinsey, but after writing a story about her mysterious disappearance in 1999 I wish I had.

Thanks in large part to the graciousness ofher daughter, Carolyn DeFord, I have gained insight into the life of an intriguing and compassionate person, an individual who I know would have been a delight to know.

I'm sure it would have been fascinating to talk to Leona about her love ofsearchingforold homesteads, and to learn about her proud Puyallup American Indian heritage.

Igetthefeeling thatshe isthe type of person who had a knack for picking up people's spirits and making them feel better about themselves.

I sensed this after Carolyn told me how her mom was always looking out forthe lessfortunate.Itw asim pressive to hear Carolyn explain that she was urged to sit with students at school who were not popular because her mother believed it was important to reach out to them.

I was nervous about calling Carolyn to ask her about her mom. I am not skilled at asking people about painful, personal experiences and losses. Carolyn, however, to my relief made the process easy. She spoke with candor about the pain she and her family experienced. On the other side, I could hear the enthusiasm in Carolyn's voice jump when she started talking about the qualities that made her mom a special person. I sensed that she would never tire of talking about the qualities that set her mom apart.

Carolyn spoke highly of the work local law enforcement officers have done in the attempt to find her mom.

Tim Mustoe/The Observer

A 2008 edition ofThe Observer highlighted a ceremony held to memorialize Leona Kinsey at Riverside Park.

"... I wanted tofocuson Leona thewoman withan endearing personality and not Leona the possible crime victim."

— Reporter Dick Mason

She was vocal about this during interviews, bringing the subject up beforeIasked about it.

When I interviewed La Grande Police Officer John Shaul about the case, I was struck by how sincere he was in wanting to find Leona for the sake ofher family. Shaul feels this way even though he now works as a patrol offi cerratherthan a detective.

Itsays a lotabouthischaracterthat Shaul remains dedicated to the case even though it has been years since he has worked as a detective.

When I interviewed Shaul for the story, I didn't focus on the murder or foul playinvestigation aspectof the story, but rather on the human elements and why he feels personally drawn to the case 15-V2 years after Leona's disappearance. The same held true for my interview with Carolyn — I wanted to focus on Leona the woman with an endearing personality and not Leona the possible crime victim.

If I succeeded in doing this, it is a credit to DeFord and Shaul.

Leona Kinsey was 45 when she went missing in La Grande in the faII of 1999.

At 20 years old, VanLeuven had his whole life before him when he was suddenly — and seemingly purposelyhit by a car.

May 1: Kendra Maurmann A shallow grave containing the body of 42-year-old Kendra Dee Maurmann was discovered by mushroom hunters on April 4, 1995, on Eagle Creek north of New Bridge in northeastern Baker County.

She had been buried several months earlier.

"It gave a lot of (local) people employment," recalls Stevens Jr., 1

an assistant to his fadcer on dce Warner Bros. picture, "and of

course, it filled the hotels, and many of the cast and crew stayed in peoples' houses. My father had this notion that he really w anted the town to be part of th e picture, and it was an open set.

PBS documenlary ieealls a 'Gianl' movieOne of the major movies of 1956 rruly was "Giant," in many ways — pardcularly for dce residents of Marra, Texas.

Director George Stevens earned his second Oscar in bringing a cast that included Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and ttn what would be his final film) James Dean to dce town to make dce sweeping version of Edna I erber's novel, whtch dealt in part wtth Mexican-American reladons. Stevens' producer-director son, George Jr., and odcers

wanted to come out and watch shooting, they were welcome.

So from my perspective, it was a wonderful place to make that

film, and I'm sure it informed the film wtth some of the spirit of the people who lived there."

Shown often on Turner Classic Movies, "Giant" weaves the saga of wealthy Texas rancher Bick Benedict (Hudson), his wife Leslte (Taylor) and maverick ranch hand — and later oil tycoon - Jett Rink (Dean). Mexican actress Elsa Cardenas made her Hollywood debut as Juana, who married into the Benedict family; also featured in "C h i l dren of Giant," she was present when word came of Dean's car-acctdent death on

Sept. 30, 1955.
