the final fiscal plan submitted to the City Council for ratification in June. At issue was a proposal by Police Chief Wyn Lohner to drop one of three current sergeantpositions and add the new lieutenant slot. The new lieutenant position

will be structured under a one-year contract. Also, the position will be non-union and will not be eligible for overtime pay. The blueprint proved controversial because city officials want to move one of the current, activeduty police sergeants into

A piece of turtle shell, found by Abby Graven, is a rare find. The cliff has two important layers and each offers different rewards, according to VanTassell. The lower layer is an ancient lake bottom where students find parts of sunfish or turtle shells. Higher up is a river bed offering other types of fish and mammals.

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 28, 1964 Expansion plans of the Royal Cafe, expected to cost about $150,000 and to include a new banquet room, diningroom and cocktaillounge have been announced. JackEng and HenryWong, owners ofthe RoyalCafe, have purchased the property from the Royal Cafe south to the corner of Court St. They said the Royal Cafe is a family restaurant and will remain as such with no alcoholic beverages to be sold within the present Cafe. The cocktail lounge will be just south of the present Royal Cafe with an entrance of its own onto Main Street. A dining room will also be built with entrances from the Royal Cafe, the cocktail lounge, and the new banquet room. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 28, 1989 The Haines Steakhouse restaurant, nearly destroyed by fire May1, probably will return — and with it some of the rustic decor that delighted customers. Owner Steve and Gail Hart of la Grande have set a Sept. 1 target date to reopen the restaurant. "It's going OK," Steve said, "we'll probably get things together." Antiques valued at about $20,000, displayed in the restaurant to give it what Gail called a "rustic and casual flavor," were destroyed. Numerous animal trophy heads also were lost, many of them belonging toTed Orr of Haines. His animal heads were insured for $60,000, Steve said. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 28, 2004 The medals clipped to Buster Tiffany's military jacket swing as he walks, clinking together in a metallic melody. Tiffany, 89, settles in a chair and flips each medal in turn: Good Conduct; European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign; World War II Victory; National Defense Service; Marksman Badge (with bars for auto rifle, carbine, grenade, machine gun, mortar, recoilless rifle, rifle and tank weapon). Each is a reminder of the 10 years he served for the United States in World War II and Korea. He left the military in 1950. The medals arrived in March 2004. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 5, 2013 When classes endThursday, Baker children of all ages won't have long to wait before lining up for a summer lunch provided by the school district.

Esther Frances Albrecht, 90,of Baker City, died May 24, 2014. A graveside service will be at 11 a.m. Friday, May 30, at Mount Hope Cemetery. In honor of Esther, the family would like her friends to join Esther them forpot a luck desAlbrecht sert at her residence afterthe service. Esther was born on May 8, 1924, at Lead, S.D., to George and Victoria Mitchell Corum. She married Emil Jack Albrecht and had three children: Victor, Gregory and Pamela. During World War II, she worked at Boeing as a Rosie the Riveter. She also played semi-pro baseball during that time. Esther had an"old school"

work ethic and always did more than her share and did it quickly and well. Esther's enjoyment came from church activities (Caleb's and muffin break), and senior card groups. She was the biggest fan any family member could have. She attended countless games,practices,performances and ceremonies with unflagging joy and enthusiasm, her family members said. She did this until the final week ofher life. She was afi ne fisherman and would usually catch the most fish. She said "You just have to hold your mouth right!" She was a gifted softball player, and was easy to field against, as she always hit the ball to the shortstop. She remained a good hitter well into her 80s, playing waffle ball on the lawn. And yes, she could still run the bases! Gardens were important, thus Garden Clubwas special.Itoffered a means to build friendships and share. Her radishes, rhubarbs and raspberries were "must have" plants. She had many health issues through the decades, which she faced with dignified grace. Mentally, she was usually sharp as a tack ... even on her 90th birthday. She could not be tricked into "pulling your finger"! Her worstcharacter traitsinvolved her not liking green beans and forcing you to read really bad, corny jokes. She also loved oyster stew (if Lars would eat the oysters). Some family members have suspicions that she occasionally cheated at cards. While Esther had legions of friends, any "blind" umpire or referee who made a bad call againsta grandchild better prepare to face her wrath! Esther was a first-rate family cook of good wholesome meals, but would not admit it. She was the force behind worldclass homemade Hires rootbeer, real home brew, family feasts from chicken to venison and a frequent plain chocolate cake, baked in the now heirloomheart-shaped pan. She pulled these meals off for many years on a temperamental wood stove, and seldom gotthe creditshe deserved. Estherwas a collector,a hoarder, a gardener, a traveler and always a good neighbor. She usually had a craft projectorjigsaw puzzle in progress, often both at once.

con nue The 2012 withdrawal of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest's widely reviled Travel Management

Plan (TMP) pleased many ATV riders who enjoy the forest's network of open roads, but it turns out that in one sense the decision might not have been good for loggers and Boise Cascade's sawmills. In a curious reversal, environmental groups that criticized the TMP in 2012 because it didn't ban motor vehicles from enough roads, now are wielding that abandoned plan as a cudgel against Snow Basin, the largest logging project on the Wallowa-Whitman in almost a quarter century. The plaintiffs in a 2012 lawsuit challenging the Snow Basin project in eastern Baker County are the Hells Canyon Preservation Council and the League of Wilderness Defenders/Blue Mountains Biodiversity Project. They argue that because the Wallowa-Whitman withdrew the TMP, the mileage of roads in the Snow Basin area open to motor vehicles poses a threat to elk that the forest has failed to adequately address. A district courtjudge last July denied the plaintiffs' request for an injunction that would force the Wallowa-Whitman to suspend work on Snow Basin. That could have afected Boise Cascade, which has bought two timber sales that are part of the project. But earlier this month a three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned part of th t~ The panel ordered district judge Marco A. Hernandez to issue a preliminary injunction. It's not dear whether the injunction will stop all work on Snow Basin, induding logging, or whether, as the Appeals Courtjudges wrote,"a more narrowly tailored preliminary injunction can be crafted." Either way, the injunction will be in place until the Wallowa-Whitman writes a supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS). That will likely take a minimum of several months. The key part of the ruling, though, is the section quoted above regarding a"narrowly tailored preliminary injunction." We see no reason why logging should be restricted while the Wallowa-Whitman is revising the Snow Basin to take into account the delay in enacting a Travel Management Plan and its restrictions on vehicles. Although the Snow Basin EIS does discuss how logging, prescribed burning and other aspects of the project could afect elk, the central issue in the lawsuit is how the current network of roads open to motor vehicles a6ects the animals. We understand the Appeals Court's contention that the EIS is misleading because its description of effects on elk presumes the Wallowa-Whitman would by now have approveda TravelManagement Plan banning motor vehicles from some roads in the Snow Basin area (the EIS is not specific, however, on which roads). But we don't believe that the effects oflogging on elk will be substantially different regardless of which roads are closed, or when. Logging should continue as planned, and the Wallowa-Whitman should update the EIS to include the lack of a Travel Management Plan.

e s, overnor ettin us own As a retired military officer and advocatefor military veterans,Iam "mad as hell" about the Veterans Administration iVAl treatment for our deserving men and women who are responsible for our freedom. As we continue to see this disturbing story unfold at the federal level, it is my opinion that some workers at VA medical centers in fact purposely delayedservices forourhonorable veterans. It appears many died waiting formedical care. Ialsostrongly oppose Governor Kitzhaber transferring Oregonians' health insurance exchange to the federal government without the input or approvalofourstate Legislature,the individuals who represent Oregonians. Many Oregon legislators voted to have

GENE WHISNANT a state insurance exchange because they did not want the federal government in charge. Many of our questions about the failed Oregon exchange remain unanswered. Despite differing legal opinions regarding the governor's authority to transfer the exchange, the governor used his executive power to move forward with the transfer. Why did the governor rush to take executive action without legislative input on an issue on which previously he had worked hard on to get bipartisan support? Some

may argue that the governor needed this $248 million issue offhis plate beforethe 2014 November election. Given the troubling VA system that is failing our nation's veterans, can Oregonians really trust the federal government to competently oversee our own health care enrollments and treatment? If they cannot provide quality and timely health care for our 20 million military veterans, how will they provide it for 317 million Americans? Oregon State Rep.

Your views Forest Service 'designates' where you can go The U.S. Forest Service is currently taking comments on the Blue Mountains Forest Plan Revision iBMFPRl. This plan will serve as the "zoning ordinance" for the three national forests found within the Blue Mountains. One particular phrase should beofgrave concern for any member of the public that enjoys motorize access into "The Blues," as most locals lovingly refer to them. That phrase is "Designated routes." Designated routes sounds like a harmless enough phrase that you simply designate uses of current roads and move on. Unfortunately it's not that harmless. Designated routes are the cornerstone ofhow the Forest Service has successfully closed hundreds of

thousands of acres of public lands throughout the West, and it has also been successfully stopped in regions where the public has actively engaged in theprocess and acted againstit. To understand designated routes one need look no further than their home. Envision your home as it is now, with the freedom to move through it as needed, accessing every resource you need to have a complete home. Now let's "designate routes" through your home and see how that works. Lay apieceoftape down the middle ofall your floors, you are only allowed to be 3 feet from the tape at any time. You may not touch any items outside that 3 foot buffer. You now have "designated routes"fun, isn't it? Your yard has been deemed needed

as a"wildlife corridor" area and now is offlimits to any big wheel, tricycle or lawnmower activity. You may walk into your yard, however, you may not utilize any motorized tools. Does this make the picture clearer as to what the BMFPR really is? It's Travel Management iroad closuresl with a different spin on it. The USFS will tell you it's not about roadclosures,and thatisa true statement. This document is even more sinister ,asitsetsthe foundation for the USFS to close roads as it states it is YOUR DESIRED CONDITION to see routes designated. Do you really want your access "designated" away? If no, you had better get to commenting on the BMFPR. John D. George Bates

should the sage grouse be listed under the Endangered Species Act, they will not be required to meet new, presumably tougher, regulatory requirements. A decision on listing is expected next year. The agreement is the result of a collaboration among the SWCD, fish and wildlife service, Harney County Court, Oregon State University Extension, private landowners, state agencies and others. It is not Oregon's first. That honor goes to the first CCAA created under the ESA, to protect the sharp-tailed grouse. In Harney County, loss ofhabitat caused by the spread of juniper and of invasive non-native weeds and grasses

are the birds' major threat, officials say. Ranchers will be required to reduce the presenceoftheformer and, atthe least, containthe spread ofthelatter. Fortunately, they may be able to get financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service and other groups for the effort. The cost of removing juniper can be expensive. That's good. A mutually acceptable deal between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local land agencies and landowners provides landowners certainty even as it brings about changes neededtosustain threatened species.

AMysteryFromSteens Mountain

By Dylan J. Darling WesCom News Service

S e lf, then 19, was more than 1,500 miles from his home of Piedmont, Self Old a ., a suburb of Oklahoma City, according to a Harney County SherifFs report. He thought he was near Denio, Nev. He wasn't. The text message is the last known contact Self, who would now be 20, had with anyone. After going missing, there was no trace ofhim for a month. Then the foreman of a ranch near Steens Mountain in southeast Oregon found Selfs black 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup teetering on an embankment alonga seldom-traveled road winding through Stonehouse Canyon onthe mountain. Rather than lead to Selfs whereabouts, the discovery of the truck only fed the mystery. Harney County SherifFs deputies found snack food and energy drinks, as well as Selfs computer and GPS device in his pickup — all items the sherifFbelieves someone intentionally ditching the truck wouldn't have left behind. Gone, though: his subzero sleeping bag, lime green tent and cellphone. More than a year later, no one — not his ex-girlfriend, his parents, searchers or law enforcement officers around the state — have either heardfrom him or discovered any clues to his whereabouts. Search crews scoured the terrain in spring 2013 around Stonehouse Canyon by riding horses and ATVs, as well as hiking on foot. A rancher buzzed the canyon

in a helicopter, but didn't find a thing. Efforts to ping his cellphone also failed. "%el neverfound him, his tent or his sleeping bag," said David Glerup, Harney County sheriff in Burns. News ofSelf'sdisappearance garnered regional, national and even international coverage, with many reportsfocusing on thefact he'd watched "Into the Wild" before planning an outdoor adventure ofhis own. The movie, based on the 1996 book by Jon Krakauer, chronicles the travels and demise of Chris McCandless. After graduating from Emory College in 1990, McCandless gave away the remaining

aWe just thought he would go up there for a week and come back," she said.

It's unclear whether Self intended to step into the

Alaska in September 1992. He'd gone into the wild with a 10-pound bag of rice, a .22-caliber rifle and a field guide to the edible plants aroundhim,but probably mistakenly ate poisonous plants. Selfs father, Victor Self, 49, said his son had tried marijuana but deputies didn't find pot or any other drugs in his truck, according to Glerup. However, on the laptop left behind they did find that Self had searched the Internet for information on hallucinogens. The sheriffhas a couple of theories as to why Self was hallucinating when he sent his last text message to his ex-girlfriend. "That tells me he was eitherdeprived ofsleep or possibly under the influence of something," Glerup said.

into a bad situation by following misleading directions from his GPS device. Or he could be alive, having walked away from his truck and back toward East Steens Road and caught a ride out of the wilds. Before disappearing,Self told his parents in a phone call he planned to go "ofF the grid" for a year. In a letter he left for them when he departed Oklahoma, he said he'dbe "ofFthe grid"fortw o years. His mother, 47-yearold Tammy Self, said she's certain he's not on Steens Mountain anymore. "I just know he got out of there," she said. And she's surprised they haven'theard from him.

Dustin Selfheaded up Steens Mountain on Stonehouse Road. In the late 1870s, homesteader James Rankin Crow and his wife, Ann Elizabeth, built a stone house in a canyon cutting through a flank of Steens Mountain, according to the book"Oregon Geographic Names." The home became the namesake for a creek, the canyon and Stonehouse Road. The road splits ofF East Steens Mountain Road, passes over a cattle guard and winds up the mountainside,crisscrossing thecreek along the way. The road is rough and rugged. Going just a couple miles up it can take

a half-hour, depending on the vehicle. While it had solid suspension, Self's pickup was a two-wheel drive. He made it 2.5 miles up the road, which may have been snow-covered at the time and apparently was muddy, before his truck

slid off. These days, Stonehouse Road is mainly used by ranchers tending to their cattle grazing on the public and private land surrounding the road. The nearest ranch is Juniper Ranch, aboutfive miles north of the turnofF from East Steens Mountain Road to Stonehouse Road.It was the Juniper Ranch foreman who found Selfs pickup ofFStonehouse Road a month afterhisfatherreported the teen missing.

LOCAL 8 STATE

MYSTERY Continued from Page 5A As Stonehouse Road rises up Steens Mountain, the surrounding sagebrush gives way to juniper. Where the ranch foreman found the pickup, the junipers start to become thick. It'sabout 5,500feetup the 9,733-footfault-block mountain. But the spot isn't as remote as it may seem. Hiking up the south side of Stonehouse Canyon, it's possible to seethat to theeastthe canyon and Stonehouse Road lead back to East Steens Mountain Road, which is visible trom the hillside. 'The smart thing for him to do would be to walk out thatroad,"Glerup said. Of course, late May weather is different than what it was when Self went missing. A weather station on public land near where Selfs truck was found showed the noontime temperature at 54 degrees and an overnight low of 38 degrees on March 16, 2013,according todatakept by the University of Utah. While it was above treezing, there was likely snow on the ground. A month later, when his truck was found, blizzard conditions hit the mountain.

with his family. He left Oklahoma just a coupleofdaysbeforesending the text message to his exgirlfiiend saying he was lost. He had driven straight to Oregon, staying in touch with his parents by phone, said Darrell Williams, president of Harney County Search and Rescue. He didn't have a credit card, Glerup said, and there hasn't been any indication ofhim taking up a job anywhere. Self set out with

about $800 in cash. "That doesn't go very far," Glerup said.

High School read: "I, Dustin Self, aspire to become a neurologist...I have real dreams. I, Dustin Self, regrethaving to leave Piedmont behind...Haha..." He also said he wanted to pass his hard work and dedication on to his little brother, who graduated earlier this month from Piedmont High

School. Although not involved in many school activities, Self brought home decent grades and was a"good kid that was very determined," said Clay McDonald, assistant principal at Piedmont High School. Selfhad some discipline issues early in his high school career, which McDonald wouldn't detail. He transferredto acharter high school in Oklahoma City focused on advanced science and technology education for a year before returning to Piedmont High School. "He came back a model student," McDonald said. During his senior year, Self got into weightlifbng and built up a muscular physique

Oklahoma to Oregon Self originally looked to a challenging academic path as he neared the end ofhigh school. "He was supposed to be a brain surgeon," Tammy Self sald. His entry in the 2012 senior yearbook for Piedmont

while also doing well in school. Selfs life plans changed after high school. He wanted to test himself against the wild, his mother said. He was curious about an Oregon church that used hallucinogenic tea as sacrament, although his mom said he wasn't interested in trying the tea. He stocked up on camping gear, studied up on wilderness survival and targeted a trip to Oregon. "He had this all planned and he was very prepared," Tammy Self said. He bought the best of everything, including Kevlar pants, and had six ways to start a fire. He planned to live off the land, but his mom loaded him up with food, including protein bars and Gatorade, beforeheleft. "He said,'This is just something I have to do,"' his mother said. Although he had the gear and knowledge, Dustin Self didn't have much experience in the wild. He'd camped before, but always on outings

No signs The search for Dustin Self involvedabout 30 people who looked for him on foot, hoof and ATV, Williams said. They searched for three days in late April and early May 2013 after the ranch foreman discovered his truck on April 15, 2013, and found no signs of him. A deputy did find the remnants of a warming fire under a rock about 200 yards uphill of the truck on April 21, when Self's father came to see where his son disappearedand tocollect the truck, but it's unclear whether Selflit the fire. Like Selfs mom, Williams thinks he may have made it off the mountain. "If he was any place up there, we would have found him," he said."Even if a cougar ... got him we should have found his tent and

sleeping bag." An air search for Self also didn't turn up any sign of him. Pat Jenkins, 70, a rancher in Diamond, runs cattle around where Selfs

pickup was found and has flown a helicopter for 44 years, mainly herding cattle. She flew Stonehouse Canyon and the surrounding terrain after he went missing. "It was a very steep hillside and a very flat plateau when you got to the top,a she sald. Up the mountain trom where Selfs pickup was found area couple scattered cabins, including one owned by Jenkins and her husband, but there has been no evidence that anyone broke into any of them or took food trom theirpantries. Almost as big a mystery as where Self is now is why his truck ended up where it did.The day before texting his ex-girltriend, Self was in Fields, an outpost in Oregon's outback. Fields is 22 miles north of Nevada, 112 miles south of Burns and nearly 50 miles south of the turnoff for Stonehouse Road from East Steens Mountain Road. Self was at the Fields Station, a restaurant, watering hole and gas station, when it opened early on March 15, 2013. He wanted to fuel up and mentioned plans of heading to Lakeview, more than 100 miles to the west. Nothing stuck out about Self or his situation, said Sandra Downs, who gassed up his truck that day. "He got fuel that morning and that was it," she said. Self may have followed bad GPS directions in trying to get to Lakeview. While in Fields during the search for Self, Williams punched in where Self said he wanted to head into the same brand of GPS device he had and it led him to Stonehouse Road. But given the state of the road, Williams wondered why Self would have turned onto it. "It's definitely a four-wheel drive road and it is only passable about three months a year," he said. If Self did decide to leave his truck behind and head up Steens Mountain, Williams doesn't understand why. 'You wouldn't survive up there," he said.

A Baker City woman will spend the next two years in prison for selling methamphetamine fiom the parking lot of Kennedy's Eastside Market just across the street fiom Brooklyn Primary School earlier this year. Visiting Malheur County Grcuit Court Judge Patricia Sullivan sentenced Anna Marie Carpenter, 32, of1135 Elm St., on May 21. Carpenter pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, DistrictAttorney Matt Shirtcliff said in a press release. Carpenter sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant working with police on Jan. 27 and again on Jan. 28, Shirtcliff said. Both buys were observed by multiple members of the Baker County Narcotics Enforcement Team, who were working with the informant. Carpenter chose the site for the drug sales, Shirtcliff sald. Carpenter was eligible for prison under Oregon sentencing guidelines becausethe crimes took place near the school. Carpenter remained in custody at the Baker County Jail today, awaiting transport to Coffee Creek Correctional Facility at Wilsonville. "Ms. Carpenter's previous two convictions were for possession of methamphetamine," Shirtcliff said. "She received probation and treatment. "Now that she has engagedinthe commercial side of the methamphetamine trade, prison became an option," he said.'We consistently seek prison sentences for those offenders engaged in drugdealing activity in this community."

Durant hasn't shown the same consistent excellence in the postseason that earned the Thunder star the MVP award after the NBA regular season. Westbrook has picked up the slack, making a case for being Oklahoma City's best player in the postseason. Westbrook had 40 points, 10 assist sand fivesteals in Oklahoma City's 105-92 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night that tiedthe seriesattw ogames apiece. The guard has been doing similar damage throughout the playoffs, averaging 26.6 points, 8.1 assistsand 7.5 rebounds in 17 postseason games. In one stretch, he had three triple-doubles in five games. "Just his focus on every possession on thedefensive end and his poise on the offensive end — I think that's what's fun to watch," Durant said."Peopleoutsideofour

A Haines man was arrested Monday for allegedly shooting a Border collie with a bow and arrow. Joshua Dean Baker, 37, of 617 Roberts St., was arrested at 12:26p.m. Monday athishome on a Baker County Circuit Court warrant charging him with first-degree aggravated animal abuse. Baker was lodged at the jail and later released. District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff said Baker is accused of using a compound bow and an arrow with a field tip to shoot a 4V2-year-old male Border collie belonging to Brandon and Crysdon Radle of Haines. Baker allegedly shot the animal at close range on May 3 at Haines and left it. The dog was found wandering with the arrow still in it and was taken to the Baker Animal Clinic where it underwent emergency surgery, Shirtcliff sard. The crime of aggravated animal abuse is a felony under Oregon law and alleges that"the action was taken for the primary purpose of inflicting pain," Shirtcliff said.

He was related to another pioneer, being a cousin of Claude Hines, who was the first Alrican American student-athlete at Baker High School, from whichhe graduated in 1928. The Tebeau family was "very much respected" in Baker City and Baker County, Phyllis Badgley, a local historian, said in a 2013 interview. After graduating trom OSU, Tebeau earned a civil engineering license and went to work for the Oregon Highway Department ilater the Oregon Department of Transportationl. He worked for the agency for 36 years. He also taught parttime at Chemeketa Community College in Salem. In 2010 Tebeau was inducted into the OSU Engineering Hall of Fame.

Trevor Dowdy, pictured above, and his sister Jessica are buying the former Courtesy Home Furnishings store from their father, Ross Dowdy. The store, at 2216Adams Ave., has been renamed Self Service Furniture Warehouse.

• Courtesy Home Fumishings now known asSelf Service Furnihue Watehouse By Bill Rautenstrauch ForWesCom News Service

Courtesy Home Furnishings, a longtime fixture in La Grande's east end, has taken on a new name, and a new way of doing business. But it's staying in the Dowdy family. On May 1, the store at 2216Adams Ave. changed its name to Self Service Furniture Warehouse, operated by Trevor Dowdy and his sister Jessica Dowdy. They're the son and daughter of Ross Dowdy, who opened Courtesy in La Grande in 1982 — and they're buying the store from him. "He'sretired,soit'ssecond generation," said Trevor Dowdy, a 19-year-old, 2013 graduate of Asotin High School in Asotin, Wash. "I grew up around this and I love doing it. I learned everything from my dad, so instead of going to college I went into the family business." Dowdy said the store continues to carry a full line ofhousehold furnishings, everything from mattresses and bedroom sets to living room and dining room ensembles. The biggest difference,he said, is that Courtesy's rent-to-own financing option is no more. Financing is still available, but it isn't in-house. Dowdy said Self Service Furniture Warehouse operates under a"warehouse pricing system"

en we moved into our home, a row of six tall and bushy pine trees provided ample shade and privacy for our back yard. Pine trees have a reputation for killing most things beneath their branches, including grass and the needles falling from the trees quickly collect and become a fire hazard. Apparently, residential developershke toplantpmes because they grow quickly and they give a neighborhood that"lived in," established look that home buyers admire. While we were not thrilled with these trees, they were there and the only other short term option was cutting them down and having the hot summer California sun pound hour after hour, frying everything that lived in the yard. The years passed and the trees grew. You look at how tall they and large they have become, and while you are proud on one hand, you start to wonder what the return on investment is. What the breaking point is. What the removal and replacement cost will be. Pines look nice from a distance and in our case continued to serve their shade function, but we knew that there was a cost involved in even a so-called low maintenance tree species. How do these pine trees relate to your employees? Forstarters,wedid not choose to plant them in our yard. Perhaps in your company, you have employees that you did not personally hire. As a result, you may not be thrilled with the choices yourhiringmanagers make. But you live with the decision. You rationalize that the peopleyou have hired to help you run your company know what they are doing. Second, once on board, the employee needs to be oriented and on board with the culture. If a person does not take root in the company culture or if it is not a good fit with the environment ipolicies and procedures), or with the people already working, the newly hired leave on their own accord or are asked to leave. In either case, there was a lot of energy expended with all the recruiting, training SeeKeller / Page 2B

FOOD AND FARM

Natural foods retailer to farmers: Let cows graze The Associated Press

DENVER — Cows should be outside. That's the position of a Colorado-basedgrocery store chain that recently announced it will carry only dairy products from farms where cows graze in pastures. Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage claims grazing improves the health of cows, consumers and the environment, and it hopes to expand an ongoing, national debate overhow to best careforlivestock. The American Grassfed Association, which helped Natural Grocers develop its rules, said it

is the first retail chain to carry only pastured dairy products; many already have rules barring suppliers from such things as keeping chickens and pregnant pigs in cramped cages. But the issue isn't as straightforward as it might seem as weather prevents most farms in the United States from grazing year-round. With no clear guidelines on what qualifies as "pasture-raised," consumers paying a premium for grass-fed milk might be confused about what they are buying. And a dairy nutrition expert says he sees the store's policy as mostly a market-

•000

ing gimmick. Natural Grocers was one of the first retailers in the 1990s to ban dairy products from farms that used growth hormones or excessive antibiotics, said Heather Isely, whose parents founded the business in 1955. Over time, the family decided that wasn't enough because cows that were drug- and hormone-free still might not go outside. "Consumers are buffeted with allthese image ofcows grazing on pasture when it comes to dairy," Isely said.'When you talk to most people, that's what comes to mind ... and we wanted

to become completely lransparent and lift that veil away and say, you know, that's not always the case and you really do need to take a more careful look at your dairy products." The company announced in late April that it would require all dairy products at its nearly 90 stores in western and Plains states to be made with milk from cows thatgrazed atleast120 daysperyear,mirroringfederal organic standards.

BUSINESS 8 AG LIFE

an e iminateinvasivessecies veatin t em~ The Associated Press

HOUSTON — It seems like a simple proposition: American lakes, rivers and offshore waters are filling up with destructive fish and crustaceans originally &om otherpartsoftheworld, many of them potential sources of food. So why not control these invasive populations by gettingpeople to eatthem? The idea has gained momentum recently from the lionfish, which invaded the Gulf of Mexico but was successfully marketed to restaurants and today appears to be in decline. But businesses and scientistshave struggled torepeat this apparent triumph with other species. Some, such as Asiancarp,are notappetizing to Americans. Others, likeferalhogs,reproduce too quickly to make a dent. And then there's the question of whether turning them into sought-after cuisine underminesthe largergoalof

eliminating them. "Eating invasive species is not a silver bullet," said Laura HuSnan, the Nature Conservancy's director in Texas. But it can still be "a way to get people engaged in the topic and in the solution." The lionfish, a striped saltwaterspecieswith a flowingmane ofvenomous spines, is native to the IndoPacific Ocean and was first Courtesy photo spotted in parts of the Gulf and off the East Coast a little The lionfish was first spotted in parts of the Gulf of more than 10 years ago.

and the few Americans who make a living on carp export most of their catch. "The fish are good eating if they're healthy, which they're not always," said Duane Chapman, a research fish biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Columbia, Missouri, noting this is an issue in the Missouri River. "Here the fish are pretty much not edible because they're so skinny." In Chicago, a group started to feed the fish to the homeless, an attempt to deal with hunger and help combat the invasive fish problem. A southern Illinois company had hoped to start packaging fiozen Asian carp. And Kentucky organized a commercial fishing tournament to encourage anglers to go after them. But none of those efforts was enough to stir demand for the creatures. Another obstacle is concern that a successful carp industry could derail the original goal of getting rid of the fish.

But it would be more appropriate to state that when something needs to be addressed, takecareofitrightthen and there.

'%e'd all be better off in terms of economics if we could sell our native fish," Chapman said. The lionfish and the giant tiger prawn, a crustacean with a massive appetite that can growtobe afootlong, provedtobe more palatable, Chapman said. The tiger prawn has been found in the northern Gulf of M exico, where scientistsfear it could harm the multimillion-dollar crab, shrimp and oyster markets. Like the lionfish, this prawn has been successfully turned into gourmet food, because it is similar to shrimp, Huflman said. Similar practicalities can affect invasive plants. The Himalayan blackberry is known for crowding out other shrubs and reducing the size of pastures. Although it is delicious, it's also thorny and requires time-consuming hand picking that makes large-scale harvesting difficult.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the agency does not set standards for pasture-raised or grass-fedproducts,butlabels cannot be misleading. Customers at a Natural Grocersstorein Denver said they didn't know how much time cows typically spend outside and the limited information on labels made it hard to tell how animals were treated. Josh Milligan, who picked up a gallon of Or-

A Colorado-based grocery store chain recently announced it will carry only dairy products from farms where cows graze in pastures.

ganic Valley milk for $6.15, said he thought cows should be allowed spend every day outside, but Natural Grocers' policy was better than those oflarger grocery chains. Few farms in the United States can graze animals year-round because of the weather. Snow covers northern pastures in the winter and summer heat dries those in the South. Dan Pearson converted his dairy farm in River Falls, W isconsin, to a grass-fed operationby growing extra hay that he stores for winter. He believes it is a healthier system for cows and workers because both spend more

time outside. Also, he said he has becomeabetter steward of the land because he has had to learn to grow healthy, lush grass for his 100 cows. "Healthy soils, healthy animals, healthy food and healthy people," Pearson said. But Tom Overton, a Cornell University professor who specializes in dairy cow nutriti on,seesthe grocery's push for pasture-raised dairy as mostly a marketing strategy. Most farmers who graze supplement their cows' diet with grain to ensure they get proper nutrition, Overton said. If they don't, the cows can produce less milk, under-

•

cutting any environmental benefit. "Ifittakes 15 to 20 cows to produce the same amount of milk as 10 in a different system, that makes a big difference in terms ofhow much manure is produced," Overton said. Overton says grazing doesn't significantly change the nutritional value of milk, but a nutritionist at the Medical College of Wisconsin says there's some science that suggests milk from pasture-fed cows has higher levels of linoleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties.
