Baker man

gets 3 years By Chris Collins ccollins©bakercityherald.com

Gwen O'Neal is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Baker School District's youngest students at her school when classes begin next fall. O'Neal is the principal at Brooklyn Primary where preparations are beginning to make way for three modular buildings that will provide theneeded space toadd kindergartners. The school currently houses 336 students in Grades 1-3. Another 111 students are enrolled in kindergarten classes that are now housed in the northwest wing of Baker High School. O'Neal told the Baker School Board during its Tuesday night session that she expects enrollment to remain at about the same level in the coming year. sWe're just excited," she said. "And I want to thank the board for listeningtoourdesire to bring the kindergarten istaff and students) together with their peers." Kindergarten teachers and other elementary staff, including O'Neal, urged the board to move the kinder-

gartners back to Brooklyn. The six half-day kindergarten sessions have been housed at BHS for the past five years after neighborhood schools were reorganized by grade level. O'Neal said work is continuing to develop the "Bronco Boost" program, which will be offered on a voluntary basis for kindergartners who need extra help past the half-day program to improve their reading skills. She noted that there has been some confusion from parents who thought the district was moving to a full-day kindergarten program in 2014-15. That is not the case. The district will, however, offer an extendedday for selected students whose parents agree to allow their children to stay longer to receive more instruction. Brenda Payton, Brooklyn reading specialist, will coordinate the program. One of the three modular buildings will be used for lunch services for all students and free up the gymnasium inside Brooklyn for physical education classes and music classes,which are held on the stage

for attacking woman

in the gymnasium. Another benefit, O'Neal said, is that the lunch tables will fold up and clear space thatcan beused for largermeetings and forpractices to prepare for multi-class musical performancesorforclassroom space for the expanded "Bronco Boost" program. Board Chairman Andrew Bryan said that after a year and a half of wrangling over the decision of where to place kindergartners, directors are committed to ensuring the program's success and asked O'Neal to again note some of the benefits. "Kindergartners are going to learn our systems,be a partofourprogram ... get comfortable where they are," she said."I think it's going to be a greataddition to our program." As the kindergartners move out of the northwest wing of Baker High School, plans are under way to use thespaceforcareer and technical programs through the Baker Technical Institute iBTIl.

A Baker City man has been sentenced to three years in jail after pleading guilty to charges related to an incident at a motel in Baker City earlier this spring. Visiting Malheur County Circuit Court Judge Patricia Sullivan sentenced James Keister, 32,of3265Riverpark Drive, Monday in Baker County Grcuit Court. Keister pleaded guilty to one count of coercion and one count of strangulation,both Class C felonies, and one count of menacing, a Class A misdemeanor, in a plea agreement with the District Attorney's offtce. One count of strangulation and one count ofharassment were dismissed as apartoftheagreement, District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff said in a press release.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 21, 1964 "It is not to what I belong but to whom I belong," were the words of guest speaker Charles Douglas at the Mayor's Prayer breakfast held at the Baker Motor Inn Thursday morning. Douglas, an insurance broker from San Jose, Calif., told the group that in the past six months he has traveled to some 20 foreign countries and Alaska to attend these "Prayer or Leadership" breakfasts. He said the term "leadership" is applicable because leaders of nations, states and communities are always found in attendance. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 22, 1989 There's a new king of the hill in the Greater Oregon League baseball circles. That's because he Baker Bulldogs ended a two-year jinx against Mac-Hi and romped10-0 over the Pioneers Saturday afternoon at Leo Adler Field. The victory, in the GOL District 7AA tournament, gave the Bulldogs their first GOL baseball crown and assured them of the league's number one berth in the Class AA state playoffs. It also put an end to Mac-Hi's dominance in district play. Mac-Hi had won 10 straight GOL titles and had defeated JBaker the past two years for the league crown. Baker will host a first-round game against the Capital Conference runner-up Friday afternoon at Leo Adler Field. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 21, 2004 The Baker School District will hire a new assistant principal this summer to replace Patti Alexander. The Baker School Board accepted Alexander's resignation, effective June 30,Thursday night. She has been hired as assistant principal of the 871-student Gladstone High School in Clackamas County, according to Superintendent Don Ulrey. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 27, 2013 May lived up to its reputation. With a downpour. Sunday's series of showers deposited.4 of an inch of rain at the Baker CityAirport, and brought a measure of relief to the area. So far, 2013has been distinguished by a lack of rain rather than a surplus. This wouldn't be the firstyear, though, that had a budding drought interrupted by a soggy late spring.

ELECTION

BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A

VOTER TURNOUT

Continued ~om Page1A All three are Republicans. Bennettreceived almost 62 percent of the votes to Fleming's 28 percent and Stackle's 9.7 percent. In the three-person contest for Baker County Clerk, G ndy Carpenter defeated Marcy Osborn and Lara Petitclerc and, byreceiving more than half the votes cast in the race, Carpenter was elected without having to advance to a runoff with the runner-up in the November election. Carpenter received 2,135 votes— 51.9 percent ofthe total castin the clerk's race. Osborn received 1,338 votes, and Petitderc635. Harvey, who is a member of the county's planning commission, ran an aggressive campaign, hosting several informal discussions at his Baker City bagel shop and attending a variety of meetings across Baker County over the past few months. Harvey wasn't able to match Warner in fundraising, however, in one of the more expensive local campaigns. Warner's campaign spent

'Td really like to see the council follow up on this," Daugherty said. The board then quickly

than Harvey's. Harvey could not be reached for comment in time forthisstory. He posteda statement Tuesday night on his campaign's Facebook page: "I just want to thank God for the blessing and all of you who helped us get to this point. Your prayers were coveted and your on the ground work made this come true. Thank you all so much and to all a good night." Warner said he had no regrets about his campaign. 'The people of Baker County made their decision; I accept it, I called Bill last night and congratulated him and told him I would make the transition as smooth as possible,"Warner said this morning. "I think we did everything that I wanted to do in the campaign. Thatis why we have elections. I'm going to

ship." Because no Democrats filed as candidates foreithercommission position, it's possible that both Bennett and Harvey will run unopposed in the November general election. Democratic voters did not get to choose among the Republican candidates in the primary. Democrats did, however, cast write-in votes — 126 for the commission chairman and 130 for Position 2, County Clerk Tami Green said. She and her staff will go through those write-in votes to determine whether any of the people are eligible candidates. If the person who received the most write-in votes is eligible, and is willing to run, that person would be on the November ballot, Green said.

MENACING Continued ~om Page1A Shirtcliff said Keister was accused of stopping his victim when she wanted to leave a room at the motel on April 21. "He also impeded her breathing by forcing his hand over her mouth while attacking her in the room," Shirtcliff stated in the press release. A witness in a motel room next door heard the incident and called 911." Keister received the maximum sentence under Oregon law, Shirtcliff said. He was eligible for a prison sentence because his criminal history included three prior misdemeanor domestic violence convictions. In sentencing Keister,Sullivan ordered him tocomplete a batterers'program and drug and alcohol treatment as part of a three-year post-prisonsupervision term. 'This office will continue to seek prison for those defendants who are prison-eligible based on Oregon sentencing laws relating to domestic violence," Shirtcliff said."I am proud of the victim in this case as she followed through with the process ensuring that Mr. Keister was held accountable."

marria e The wave of court rulings giving same sex couples the legal right to get married has finally, perhaps inevitably, reached Oregon's shores.

On MondayfederalJudgeMichaelMc Shane,as expected, overturned the state's ban on same sex marriage. In 2004 Oregon voters, with 56.7 percent in favor,approved Measure 36,w hich added to the state's Constitution a definition of marriage as "between one man and one woman." Oregon is the 14th state to have its gay marriage ban invalidated since last summer, when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected sections of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. We support McShane's ruling. And we expect that were the matter put to Oregon voters today, the outcome would be diferent than it was a decade ago. We don't believe that defending marriage requires that same sex couples be denied the government's acknowledgement of the relationship, in the form of a marriage license and the legal privileges, such as hospital visitation rights, that entails. The keyword in the preceding paragraph is"government's." Marriage is a religious institution as well as a legal one, and McShane's ruling doesn't mandate that any denomination change its stance on same sex marriage. Among the many politicians who issued statements about Monday's ruling, the most reasonable, and relevant, one we have read came from Mike McLane, minority leader from the Oregon House. "For those that believe marriage is a religious covenant, the origin of which predates America, today's federal court ruling won't change that," said McLane, a Republican from Powell Butte."For those that believe marriage is a legal union between two people that is recognized and enforced by our state government, today's ruling is a logical extension of the Supreme Court's ruling last summer. Our society must embrace both views." For the most part we believe society already does embrace both views. We can only hope that the dozens of gay couples who were married on Monday will be as staunch in their defense of the sanctity of marriage as an institution as they have been in their campaign to get the government's legal blessing for their relationships.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (La Grande) Observer: The Obama administration — along with Congress — should move quickly to review and, if need be, fix any major problems that may plague the Veterans Administration. News that veterans must endure long waits for appointments at VA centers and assert ions thata seriesofdeaths may be connected to delays at the Phoenix, Ariz., VA hospital produced a recent outcry from lawmakers and concerned individuals. In Phoenix, a former official with the VA hospital asserts that more than 35

vetsdied while they wa ited for treatment. Added to that was the news that the hospital staffheld a secretappointment list designed to mask the delays. Most recently, a VA hospital in the Chicago area was under federal scrutiny regardinganother covertlistregarding delays. Other problems in other states regarding the VA have also been reported. By all accounts the top brass of the VA is seeking answers and searching for solutions. That is good news. Yet theseassertions regarding careforthe nation's veterans are more than just another troubling sound-bite. And they

cannot be ignored. The nation — whether it wants to admit it or not — owes a solemn debt to everyveteran.Partofthe sacred covenant between the nation and its veteransisthe assurance — the obligation — that they will be cared for. Cared for not as a burden but as part of the execution of a pact. Congress and the Obama administration must move swiftly to right any wrongs with the VA medical system. It is a question not so much about justice as about fulfilling a solemn pledge. We owe our veterans more than substandardmedical care.

ore ivisive an ever By Steve Paul The Endangered Species Act was established in 1973, during the presidency of a Republican, Richard Nixon, and at a time of increasing awareness ofecological degradation. Following previous efforts at conservation policy, it clarified the concern that human behavior and industrial activity could have harmful effects on wildlife and wild lands. The results have not been uncontroversial, and amendments in subsequent years have clouded some of that clarity. A fight over the Northern spotted owl upturned the logging industry of the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s. And now, in an era of exceedingly polarized politics, the law's mandates are probably more divisive than ever. Opponents of environmental regulationsliketo usetheterm"overreach" as if their free-market liberties were under siegeby arampant federalinvasion of suits and black helicopters. Theyrarely seem willing to accept the notions of stewardship and wildlife conservation and that perhaps, in the long run, unregulated exploitation of natural resources — land, water, air, wildlife, etc. — has consequences perhaps even more serious than whatever short-term economic adaptations environmental laws might require. Consider these current collisions of policy, emotion, law and conflicting values: • Kansas Republicans as well as farm,

ranch and fossil-fuel interests, led by Gov. Sam Brownback and US. Rep. Tim Huelskamp,areresisting an effortto protect the dwindling population of the lesser prairie chicken. Huelskamp — speaking ofoverreach — has threatened to dock the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's budget if it doesn't retract the bird's listing as"threatened." Environmental groups are fighting to reverse that decision, too, hoping to force the wildlife service to list the species as "endangered." Biodiversity, extinction avoidance and habitat protection are hallmarks of wildlife conservation and the Endangered Species Act. Holding the federal government to its commitments under the act should be a virtue, but too often it's the starting point of a fight. • The Kansas experience with the lesser prairie chicken (shared by a handful of neighboring states) is a mere sliver of a case compared with the one involving the sage grouse. Eleven Western states have come together to try to forestall a possible endangered listing of the species, contending such a status would halt development opportunities on millions of acres in the vast region. The Fish and Wildlife Service has been considering the fate of the sage grouseand various sub-speciesform ore than 15 years; when it failed to label the fowl endangered in 2005, environmentalistssued,and a federaljudgeoverturned the federal decision in 2010. The Fish

and Wildlife Service has until the end of next year to work out a deal, according to a recent story in The Washington Post. The costs of protecting the birds would be huge, though private interests often fail to consider that much of the land involved is owned not by them but by us — federal taxpayers. The consequences forland-use arecomplicated, and the opportunities for compromise remain to be seen. • Rancher Cliven Bundy's armed and grandstanding circus in Nevada — and his refusal to pay grazing fees and fines forthe useoffederallands— datesto 1993, when the Fish and Wildlife Service put the desert tortoise on the endangered list, thus restricting cattle grazing in certain areas. • The fate of migratory birds and some endangered bats is under question in Missouri in light of a power company's plan to build a wind-energy operation in close proximity to the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge. I haven't even mentioned the Environmental Protection Agency, which is an automatic hot-buttoned, centrifugal force. What the nation needs is a serious conversationabout conservation,one driven more by reason and science and less by politics and knee-jerk ideology.

BaKer'sFirstStateGolfChampion

Baker tennis starts at state Thursday chance," Ellwanger said. He parred 11, 12 and 13 and then stepped to the tee on the 497-yard par-5 14th. His drive rolled through the fairway but he hit a 6-iron to within 50 feet of the green. He hit a pitch to within 6 feet and rolled in the birdieputt. After a par on the 15th Ellwanger played the wind right with his tee shot on the 152-yard par-3 16th, and he sank another 6-foot putt for birdie. On the 18th, which he had birdied on Monday, Ellwanger's drive sailed right, pushed by a gusty wind. "At first I thought it might have gone out ofbounds," Ellwanger said. That would have cost him a penalty stroke. But his ball stopped10 yards shortofthe out-of-bounds line. He pushed his second shot into the rough left of the fairway, but a"really good pitching wedge" approach left him with, what else, a 6-foot puttfor birdie.

Ellwanger's birdie binge, all on the last five holes, gave the Baker senior the individual title at the Class 4A boys golf tournament on Tuesday at Eagle Crest Resort near Redmond. Ellwanger, the first individual state golf champion from Baker, hasimproved each season while playing for the Bulldogs. His freshman year he finished 27th at state. He was seventh as a sophomore, and sixth last year while leading the Bulldogs to a secondplace team finish. "It's exciting," Ellwanger said in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon."It was a little stressful waiting for thoselastscoresto come in." Ellwanger finished his 1-over par round of 73 on Tuesday — he finished at even par 144 for the tournament after shooting a 1-under 71 Monday to take the first-round lead — about an hour before his two closest challengers, Tyler Franke of Sutherlin and Bryce Wortman of Mazama. Those two shared the individual state title last year. But Ellwanger's strong

Burns tops Bulldogs By Gerry Steele gsteele©bakercityherald.com

Burns outslugged Baker 20-16 in a nonleague baseball game Tuesday at the Baker Sports Complex. "It wasn't a good ballgame for us," said Baker coach Tim Smith.'They hit the ball well and so did we. It was a horse race and we could just never catch up. eWe madegood pitches and they would hit them," Smith said.

Baker i18-7 overall) trailed 8-3 entering the bottom of the second inning beforescoring fivetime sto tiethe game at 8-8. Burns then answered with eight runs in the third inning to take the lead for

good. Smith said half of the third-inning runs were unearned after the Bulldogs committed an error. "If we hadn't made the error we probably hold them to just four runs in the inning," Smith said. Baker managed to pull within 16-15 in the fourth inning after scoring five times in the third and twice in the fourth. But that was as close as they would get. Kyle Srack, the first of

The Woods will welcome their first guests Thursday night.

ISLAND CITY — The owners of Ruff and Rustic Mercantile on Walton Road are making their own statement for local law enforcement, mounting an ongoing campaign to buy equipment for the Union County Sheriff's Office and the multiagency SWAT team. Ruff and Rustic sells guns, ammunition, outdoors equipment and supplies. Owners Mike and Lindi Voss are in the midst of raffling off 600 rounds of American Eagle 223 ammo, with the proceeds going toward the purchase of a custom-built Intacto Arms AR-15. The rifle in turn will be donated to SWAT. Voss said he needs about

orbesreported that millions of employed Americans are switching employers each month. Here are seven reasons why your direct reports are leaving you to earn a paycheck elsewhere. First, because of the layoffs, downsizings and leaving vacancies open when employeesvoluntaril y resigned or retired, many employees are now working the jobs of two, perhaps three people. These same individuals may not have been given raises in years. Chances are you have not told them when they can expect a raise, or given them any idea as to the amount or percentage when raises are given. Second, peopleleaveifnot challenged. Ifyourdirectreports don't have new things to learn, keep in mind that low levelwork isarootcausefor boredom and disengagement. To engage and retain your best people, you need to have them thinking strategically, not livingin day-to-day operations. Ifyou can't provide an opportunity for higher level thinking, another employer will. Third, if you are micromanaging people, it is probably driving your better people nuts. When I was in a key management role and I was constantly being questioned about my time, my goals and my budget, it drove me to realize I was working for the wrong owner. I had hoped I was viewed as a trusted member of management and as such, I expected significant latitude in leading my department. If that trust did not exist, why was I working there? Fourth, regular feedback is more than nice, it is necessary. Putting off performance appraisals and hearing generic comments such as "keep up the good work" is demeaning. Key employees need to understand what they are doing well and what they need to bedoing differently. How can an organization improve if the people in it do not? As the owner, you owe it to helppeoplebecome better. They cannot do that on their own. SeeKeller / Page 3B

Senior citizens looking for work have another option to explore, now that Experience Works has expanded coverage to Eastern Oregon. The nonprofi torganization's Senior Community Service Employment Program provides paid community Standeford service assignments with local public and nonprofit organizations. The program includes training, referral to needed services and job searchassistance atnocost for those who qualify. "In this difficult economy, many older Oregonians are finding it necessary to find w ork. Unfortunately,fi nding ajobcan be difficultforolder workers who have not looked for employment for some time or for those who have been unsuccessful in their job hunt. Our program is a steppingstone forpeopledesperate for work," said Janet Standeford, local employment and training coordinator for Experience Works. Experience Works was founded in 1965. In October of that year, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Economic OpportunityAct, and a short time later Green Thumb, Inc., was launched as the first non-profit organization to run ajobsprogram fordisadvantaged rural Americans.

She overseestheprogram from her office in Baker City. "It's about helping people 55 and over who can't get jobs as easily," Standeford said. "Sometimes it's difficult for them to compete because their skills have become outdated, or they've been out of the work forceso long employers perceive their skills as outdated.

Dawson said Phase 1 is generally a document search and a site visit. With what documentation can be found, phase two begins with sampling and testing whatever needstobe tested — soil, air or water. This leads to an analysis ofbrownfield cleanup alternatives and what can be done to fix it. This spring, Wallowa Land Trust and the Woody Wolfe Ranch received funding to locate and remove a gasoline tank. "The Land Trust was the first to take us up on a petroleum-only grant," Dawson said. Julia Lakes, the trust's conservationdirector,said the initial goal was to put 454 acres of the Wolfe Ranch intoa conservation easement in two phases. In 2011, 197 acres were protected from development at the confluence of the Lostine and Wallowa rivers. The trustis now in the process of

House Republicans are using a"hacksaw rather than a scalpel" to try and solveproblems some schools are having. Wootan argues that there may be other factors in play such as enrollment or food costs if a lunch program is losing money. "It's a shame that the House Republicans are taking a step backward and allowingschoolstoservemore unhealthy food to children," she said. The House bill would provide money for Agriculture Department programs and Food and Drug Administration programs. It would also make tweaks to another nutrition program championed by the Obama administration, proposing to allow white potatoes to be accepted as part of USDA's Women, Infants and Children program.

Christoffersen said."In addition, we also play a role in the implementation and we have always done that, but we are very different.
