A firethatburned hot and fast pushed dark black smoke into the air for severalhoursasitdestroyed an east Baker City home Monday afternoon.

The Baker City Fire Department was called to the fire at 1710 ValleyAve. about 12:15 p.mu said Fire Chief Mark John. The propertyis owned by Kathleen Mitchell, 85, who had lived in the house since 1966.

The four-bedmom, two-bath home was builtin 1904, according to Baker County Assessor's 0$ce records.

Investigators believe the fire was caused by an electrical malfunctionin a downstairs bedroom, John said today.

The fue spread quickly because of the house's balloon construction, which is typical of older homes. The open construction allowed the fire, once it entered the walls to communicate directly to the attic, John said.

"It was evident that the fire spread very, very

quickly," he added.

The amount of material stored in the house also contributed to how quickly the fire spread.

Kathleen Mitchell and her husband, Carroll, lived in the home with Morgan and Shawn Beavers and their year-old daughter.

Shawn Beavers is Kathleen's grandson. Morgan is

pregnant and due to deliver a baby boy next month, said Ryan Grover, another of Kathleen Mitchell's grandsons. He was at the house Tuesday while investigators were sifting through the remains to determine what caused the fue.

Grover said the Beavers and their baby are staying with him and his parents,

Jim and Annette Grover, at their home at 3190Third St. His grandmother and her husband are staying with a fiiend.

Grover said the Beavers and the Mitchells lost all of their belongings — "except what they had on their backs."

The recent combination of rain, hail and wind has damaged some crops in Baker County, but theeffectsdon'tseem to be severe.

"I think we got really lucky," said Trent Luschen, executive director forthe Farm Service Agency in Baker County.

Luschen was talking specifically about the hailstorm Monday afternoon.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 15, 1965 All roads in the Baker-La Grande area of theWallowaWhitman National Forest are open except from Anthony Lake to Chicken Hill on the Baker District and to Point Prominence on the Union District, it was reported today.

Most trails are free of snow but have not yet been maintained.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 16, 1990 Call him an agent, a teacher, a judge, a measurer, a writer, a secretary, a shooter.

Whatever you call Eldon "Buck" Buckner, he is dedicated to what he does.

Buckner, 47, works as an agent for Country Companies Insurance in Baker City. But in his spare time he enjoys working and teaching others about firearms, is an official measurer for Boone tlr Crockett, and is secretary of the Powder River Sportsman's Club.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 15, 2005 Late again?

Blame Baker City Hall.

There, the biggest clock in town is, for the time being, providing procrastinators with a pretty persuasive excuse for their lack of punctuality.

Unless, that is, your appointment or curfew was close to 12:31, which is the time the clock atop City Hall shows, 24 hours a day.

Tabor Clarke, who owns a Baker City jewelry store and is an aficionado of timepieces both large and small, figures the SethThomas clock deserves its downtime.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 16, 2014 Northeastern Oregon's reprieve from the fire season is over.

A series of lightning storms, combined with the hot, dry weather that has dominated during July, has brought more than a dozen wildfires to the region this week.

And with no significant change in the weather forecast, local, state and federal agencies will soon impose more stringent fire restrictions.

Airport Work

Baker City councilors heard Tuesday from a representative from Oregon Climate who outlined a proposal to combat manmade climate change.

Councilors also gave the go-ahead to create a design plan for apron construction at the airport.

Emma Renai Durning with Oregon Climate gave a presentation about reducing pollution in the state.

The organization is volunteer-driven and empowers Oregonians to win real climate policy, building the model for a timely global transition to a clean energy economy. ''We all know that climate change is real. We all feel the effects in the droughts that are worsening every year," Durning said.

She said her organization is working to encourage cities and the state to implement a "revenue neutral" process that would charge a carbon feetothebiggestpollutersin the state.

Durning also said Oregonians would be paid on a yearlybasisto offsethigher pricesthat thepolluters would likely charge because

Councilors heard information from Kevin Bissell, project manager for T-0 Engineers.

Councilors approved a task order which allows T-0 to move forward with the creationofa design plan for apron construction at the airport.

The design will cost more

than $150,000, of which 90 percent will be funded by a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration iFAAl. The city is required to match the grant with 10 percent of its own money, which has been included in this year's budget.

Once the design phase is completed ithis fall or winter, according to Bisselll, construction will begin after approvalofanother task order.

Bissel and Public Works Director Michelle Owen said future construction phases oftheprojectwillbe funded

by FAA and ConnectOregon grants. The ConnectOregon grants will be applied for this October.

Overall, work at the airport could cost as much

as $1.5 million. If funding isn't garnered through future

grants, Bissell said it would not stop the project, just limit it.

"If necessary, we can scale backportions ofthe project to meet the available grant funds," he said.

Owen said there are areas at the airport in critical need of repair that would be addressed first. How much funding is available will determine how extensive the construction will be.

Development Code Councilors approved the first reading of an ordinance updating the city's development code.

City Planner Holly Kerns said the proposed changes are necessary because there are typographical errors, inadvertent omissions, inconsistencies, and other minor corrections needed.

Kerns also said a process to address code violations has been added if a conditional-use permit needs tobe revoked. There have been no such issues, but Kerns said it is good to add the process.

Other changes include aligning rules for commercial kennel permits with municipal code regarding kennel permitting and minor changes to cell tower siting

and height requirements.

No changes have been made to the development code since 2009.

The Council approved the first reading of the ordinance.

Councilors also heard from resident Deborah Hannah, who believes signs notifying the public about herbicide spray at Geiser-Pollman Park are inadequate.

Hannah said there was a barelynoticeable sign atone entrance, and none at the main entrance to the park or the entrance by the library.

Owen said the city is in compliance with regulations but"certainly we can make improvements."

Councilors also: • Approved an ordinance that withdraws several properties eastofInterstate Interstate84 from the rural fire protection district. The properties were annexed into the city in 2005 and the owners agreed to this in their annexation agreements.

• Appomted Wilham Allbright to the Tree Board, Mike Clark to the Parks and Recreation Board and Jim Bruce to the Public Works Advisory Committee.

ENGAGEMENT

Continued ~om Page1A That storm, which started in Baker City around 12:50 p.m. and lasted about 10 minutes, was not widespread, said Mark Ward, a Baker Valley farmer whose family has crop fields within a mile of the city limits. ''We did not have any hail damage that I'm aware of, although I haven't been to all the fields,"Ward said this morning.

Ward said he has talked with wheat farmers on the west side of the valley whose crops were "flattened" by strong thunderstorm winds, but they're confident the wheat stalks willrecover.

Bailey — Warren Anthony and Katherine Bailey of Baker City are pleased to announce the upcoming wedding of their daughter Amanda Lynn Bailey, to Arthur"Ritter" Warren, son of Art and Nancy Warren of Union.

Amanda is also the daughter of Julie and Fred Hertel of Dallas, Oregon.

Amanda Lynn Bailey and The wedding is scheduled A r t h ur 'Ritter'Warren to take place in Summerville at the end of the month.

Amanda is about to start her junior year at Eastern Oregon University pursuing a degree in math. Ritter is a recent graduate of Eastern Oregon University and plans to pursue a careerin parole and probation.

The couple plan to reside in La Grande while Amanda finishes her degree.

M ost local wheat isata stage where it can spring back, Ward said.

Luschen said he has heard similar stories kom local farmers.

Ward said Monday's storm was minor compared with the hail that pounded Baker Valley crops almost three years to the day, on July 15, 2012. ''We've had hail that totally defoliated potato plants,"Wardsaid.

The heavy rain that started Friday soaked some second-cutting alfalfa, which will reduce its value.

But overall ,W ard said he's happy about the unseasonable deluge.

"In my opinion the benefits of the rain far outweigh the negative," he said.

Continued ~om Page1A Two weeks ago the city asked residents to voluntarily conserve water. The cityearlierreduced water use atcity parks, Quail Ridge Golf Course, Mount Hope Cemetery and other public properties.

The city took those steps because its watershed, on the east slopes of the Elkhorn Mountains about 10 miles west of town, is producing less water than usual.

Contributing to that — ironicallywas abundant rain the second half of May. That rain all but dissolved a snowpack that in normal years stays around at least until early summer and helps to keep the watershed's streams and springs flowing at higher levels.

July's record rain — 2.72 inches for the month through Tuesday, the most ever for July — hasn't, however, done much to increase the watershed's production.

McBroom said more rain fell in the valley than in the mountains.

"It was odd, I thought we would get more in the mountains," he said."The flow off the mountain has remained pretty much unchanged."

McBroom saw no signs ofheavy rains in the watershed such as the obvious

The blood of our soldiers is the support of our country which keeps us from falling. There is no better sign of patriotism then those who have laid down their lives for our country.

"We are all part of the sacrifice which each soldier makes by the way we choose to treat our country and emulate their sacrifice. I have never considered myself patriotic until I watched my older brother go into the Marines. It was only then and there that I realized the amount of sacrifice that goes into our country and the honor that we should all feel for being part of it.

C

i era Motorcycle riders are accustomed to a certain level of deprivation.

Wind in their hair.

Sun on their arms.

And of course, bugs in their teeth.

But the thousands of bikers who congregated in Baker City last weekend for the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally had the unique misfortune of rolling into town during the wettest stretch in July on record here.

This seemed especially unfair considering the event schedule was changed several years ago from June to July, since the latter month is statistically the driest in Baker County, and the former is the second-wettest.

It is a tribute, then, to the riders themselves, but also to Rally organizers and volunteers, that the event, despite the unprecedented sogginess, was successful.

Not that we're surprised.

The Rally started big in 2006 and it has maintained its momentum and popularity.

Riders wouldn't return in such large numbers if they didn't have fun, and we wouldn't have expected the prospect of rain to deter them this year.

And yet it's not only the many challenging roads to ride, and the wealth of scenery, that makes the Rally.

It's people like Ben Merrill, the Baker High School principal who opened the school to the hundreds of riders who were camping on the saturated fields outside. Merrill offered Rally participants the use of the school's clothes dryers, and he even dried clothes at his own home and his parents' home.

Stories of that sort can become part of the lore of the Rally. Riders can be confident that even if the weather doesn't cooperate, the community and the event organizers will ensure that participants will be taken care of.

And riders can be almost certain of one thingthe weather will be better next year.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend Bulletin): Oregon law doesn't think much of parents. By the time a child in this state turns 15, he or she may seek any medical or dental treatment without having to ask a parent's permission first.

Now add gender dysphoria — a condition in which a person's emotional and psychological identity as male or female is at odds with his or her biology — to the list of things from pregnancy to pimples for which a teen might seek a physician without telling mom and dad.

M oreover, ifthechild'sm edicalcareiscovered bythe Oregon Health Plan, the state will pay for everythirg from hormone treatment to sexreassignment surgery. All without a word to patents.

That is so because the Oregon Health Evidence Review Commission decided lastyear not to set the age of consent for gender dysphoria treatment higher than for other medical treatments and surgeries. Those arguing for the decision say it will prevent at least one teen suicide ayear in this state.

It's true that a family discussion about gender identityissues might be particularly fraughtin some cases. They're the sorts of problems that can, if the discussion is handled poorly, create lifelongrifts among family members.

Yet the discussions are vital. According the Canadian PsychologicalAssociation, cross-gender behavior is common in children, though the vast majority of us outgrow it as we mature.

But treatment forgenderdysphoria can beirreversible.

Adolescents are, by definition, still immature, and parents still play a keyrole in helping them move from childhood to adulthood. To have the state effectively cut them out of this particular part of their children's lives simply does not make sense.

HERC's members no doubt made their ruling based on what they believed was the best evidence available. Unfortunately, though their meetings are open to the public, their limits on public comment are so strict that no real dialogue about sensitive topics is possible.

That's a shame. Had a real discussion occurred, HERC might have backed away from its current position on treating teens with gender dysphoria withoutincluding parents in the discussion.

But like the adolescents who are covered by the new rule, HERC can mature and rethinkits actions. It should do so, or, ifit's unwilling, the Legislature should take over.

We should not shred the Constitution in the face of tragedy. In the wake of the HECTOR VILLAGRA shooting death of Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco, the SherifFs Department isbeing blamed forhavingreleased the Johnson, the secretary of the Departman now charged with killing her, Juan ment of Homeland Security, acknowlFrancisco Lopez-Sanchez, from jail. edged "the increasing number of federal Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham court decisions that hold that detainerClinton, among others, has said the city baseddetentionby state and locallaw should have honored a federal request, enforcement agencies violates the 4th known as a detainer, to keep LopezAmendment."

As a result of these court decisions, juBut the county sheriffhad no legal risdictions across the country will comauthority to hold Lopez-Sanchez: To ply with immigration detainer requests honor the detainer would have violated only when they are accompanied by a the 4th Amendment. An Immigration judicial warrant or a judicial determinationofprobablecause — in otherwords, and Customs Enforcement detainer is not a warrant. It is not issued by a when constitutional requirements have been met. judge. And it is not based on a finding of probablecause.Itissim ply arequest Federal officials turned Lopez-Sanchez over to the San Francisco Sherif's that a law enforcement agency detain an individual after his or her release Department in March; they knew where date in order to provide ICE agents he was and they should have known extra time to decide whether to take the what they needed to do in order to ultiindividual into federal custody and then mately deport him. Why did they merely deport him. issue a detainer? Why didn't they go to ICE's use of detainers to imprison court to obtain a warrant? peoplewithout due process orprobable ICE, through its spokeswoman Virginia Kice, has said that"obtaining cause — including not just those here without authorization but also green judicial warrants is not only unnecescard holders and even U.S. citizenssary, it would place an immense burden raisesobvious and serious constitutional on both ICE and the federal courts."

But the federal court decisions contraconcerns.Indeed,a seriesoffederal courtdecisions issued lastyearheld dict that. The Constitution isn't optional.

So add these cies are liable for holding people beyond to the list of questions: How do federal their release times solely on the basis of officials believe their position can be the detainers. In November 2014, Jeh squared with the 4th Amendment, and

why is it that police across the country are able to routinely satisfy the warrant requirement, but ICE agents cannot?

These issues won't get their due if Lopez-Sanchez becomes the Willie Horton of immigration policy, distorting the politics of immigration reform generally and in parti cular thedebate between federal authorities and local jurisdictions.

Horton, a murderer who was furloughed from prison and then committed assaultand rape,starredin a lurid campaign ad in 1988; and his story was used to label politicians as soft on crime. In reaction, an explosion of tough-on-crime laws fueled the prisonindustrial complex we're only beginning to dismantle today. Now we may witness the rise of a"soft on immigration" label, with politicians one-upping each other to show how tough they can be, illegally and unwisely entangling local police in immigration enforcement.

The most crucial question Steinle's tragic death raises is this: Why does ICE continue to ignore what law enforcement has repeatedly told us: Local policing must be decoupled from immigration enforcement. Surely, the government can establish a system that does not require choosing between honoring the Constitution and complying with detainer policies that violate the 4th Amendment.

Hector Villagra is the executive director

of the Avvrican Civil Liberties Union of Southern California. He wrote this for the Los Argeles Times.

Your views But what if a warmer climate is good forthe Earth?

Some of our local pundits continue to quote St. Al Gore as ifhis words were Gospel. But they're not. Consider: The ultimate test for a scientific theory is how well it matches the real world.

If it does, then fine. If not, then it's time to toss that theory and try something different. The Theory of Catastrophic Climate Change utterly fails that test with reality.

The theory says that unless global warming is reversed, there will be horrendous consequences. Among other things, the Statue of Liberty will have to learn how to dog paddle. Since there have been times in human history when the world's climate was significantly warmer than it is now, let's see how

much the theory matches what actually happened back then.

One of these warm periods, the Medieval Climactic Optimum, is well documented in European history. It lastedfrom around AD 700 to 1200.Its most significant effect was to enlarge the Northern Temperate Zone, pushing it several hundred miles to the north.

Norwegian farmers successfully settled Greenland; England had a thriving wine industry; Leif Erikson found wild grapes growing on the northern tip of Newfoundland. Noticeably missing are all of the cataclysms foretold by St. Gore.

Rather than being a threat to human existence, the 500-year-long warm period was quite beneficial to mankind.

Climate change apologists like to say that the science is settled; their

theory is real. The climate of the Earth has warmed in the past century, that's true. But its continued warming will not be harmful. Studies of the Medieval Climactic Optimum and other warm periods in human history have established this. But St. Gore and his crew won't admit that their theory doesn't hold water; many of them are getting rich off of the climate change issue and they don't want to derail the gravy train.

I've posted this question to our local punditsbefore;ifthe resultsofclim ate change are so disastrous, then why are the warmest periods in human history called climactic optimums? The question has never been answered.

• State employment oKcial sees minimUm wagehike as goodnews,bad news

By Pat Caldwell For WesCom News Service

The impact of a minimum wage boost across the region would depend upon a number of factors, according to a regional stateeconomist.

Andrew Crollard, the State of Oregon Employment Department regional economist in La Grande, said a minimum wage would be like two sides of the same coin.

"I think it would be fair to characteriz eitas agood news, bad news. This is one of those economictradeoffs,"he said.

On onehand, more money in the pockets of Eastern Oregon workers could translate into more spending. On the other side of the coin, though, higher wages alsomay mean greater costsfor employers.

"It would definitely increase employeroperating costs,"he sald.

Crollard said a greatdealofthe impact from a minimum wage hike depends on its size.

"The higher the minimum wage, the more jobs that will be impacted," hesaid.

Crollard said a boost in the minimum wage could create a number of different challenges to employers.

"Employers might have to increaseproduction costsorlay

DEAR RICK: You are not obligated to share any financial information, but when you don't say anything about how your company is doing, the rumor mill will run wild and be accepted as the truth because you haven't done anything to counter the impression employees have created, good or bad.

Go to your bank and get rollsofpenniesforevery manager. Privately, remove two or three pennies from several rolls and re-seal them. Gather the team and give everyone a roll; have each one dump the pennies out in front of them. Tell them, this money represents $1 of revenue.

Then, as you share and explain the percentages of actual business expenses, have them count out the pennies from their pile. Start with salaries, followed by taxes, rent, utilities, benefits iincluding vacation, holidays and insurance) and include technologyand offi ce sup-

off some people. Or cut into their profits or delay infrastructure improvements or some combination," he said.

One reason it can be difficult to measure the impact of a minimum wage hike is that every economic system, whether it is Eastern Oregon or China, is multifaceted.

"Any economic system is inherently complex," Crollard said.

Proponents of a minimum wage hike point out, among a host of advantages, that such a move will improve the living standardofpeopleand boost worker morale.

Don't rush through this.

Use a white board or flip chart to keep track; let it sink in how large a percentage each item is.

At this point, tell them to count out how much has been spent so far, and then explain to them that this is the amount of money that the company spends before opening for business.

You should emphasize that a largepercentage ofthe revenue doll ars are being spent to havepeople on the payroll and yet, not one penny of revenue has actually been generated.

SALEM — Drought and heat have stressed Oregon's grassseed crops in mul tiple ways, which has farmers expecting a substantial decrease in yields now that harvest is underway.

It's still too early to know the exact impact, but farmers are preliminarily reporting yieldreductions of20-50 percent, said Mark Simmons, executivedirectorofthe Oregon Grass Seed Bargaining Association.

"This year is extremely unusual. It's the equivalent of the 50-year flood," he said.

"It's really tough forfarmers who grow grass seed."

With less water available, grass cannot carry as much sugartoits seed,said Tom Chastain, seed crop physiology professor atOregon State University.

That sugar is converted to starch that's used to "bulk up" the embryonic plant and the "endosperm" that feeds it within the seed, he said. This year, dry conditions in spring have hindered grasses from filling the seed, reducing its weight.

Enzymes that convert sugarstostarch are also affected by high temperatures, Chastain said.'The heat is exacerbating the problem because it interferes with some of those enzymes."

Not only are seeds lighter, but thereare alsofewer of them — drought hinders pollination and causes the "abortion"ofseeds,he said. cWe havea lotofproducers who are very concerned right now," Chastain said.

During 1992, which had weather conditions similar to thisyear's,grass seed yields in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Blue Bell ice cream rests on a grocery store shelf in Lawrence, Kansas. The Justice Department hasn't said whether the government plans to pursue charges againstTexas-based Blue Bell Creameries, which recalled all its products and shut down production earlier this year after listeria in the company's ice cream was linked to illnesses and three deaths.

Foo com aniesris rosecuti on The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Following a deadly listeria outbreak in ice cream, the Justice Department is warning food companies that they could face criminal and civil penalties if they poison their customers. cWe have made a priority holding individuals and companies responsible when they fail to live up to their obligations that they have to protect the safetyofthefood thatallofuseat,"Associate Attorney General Stuart Delery said in an interview.

After years ofrelative inactivity, the administration has stepped up criminal enforcement on safety cases. In the most high-profile case, a federal court in Georgia last year found an executive for the Peanut Corporation of America guilty ofconspiracy,obstruction ofjustice, wire fraud and other crimes after his company shipped out salmonella-tainted peanuts that sickened more than 700 and killed nine in 2008 and 2009.

Delery, the No. 3 official at the Justice Department, wouldn't say whether the

government plans to pursue charges against Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries, which recalled all its products and shut down production earlier this year after listeria in the company's ice cream was linked to illnesses and three deaths.

A Food and Drug Administration investigation found that Blue Bell knew that it had listeria in one ofits plants for almosttwo yearsbeforetherecall.

"I will say we are following the reports and working with our agency partners, obviously, as they conduct their reviews and investigations," Delery said of the Blue Bell investigation and other recent outbreaks, including deaths linked to listeria in caramel apples.'What I can say is we're committedtostaying on top ofoutbreaks and evaluatingpotentialcasesasthe evidence warrants."

Bill Marler, a food safety lawyer who has represented victims in many ofthosecases,saysJustice'srecent activity is especially notable because in many of the cases, company executives didn't know they were shipping

out tainted food, but they were hit with criminal charges anyway.

"It's been very much of a sea change," Marler said."Once you start down this road you have to decide whether you are going to do it all the time or selectively."

Delery notes the department has gone after some of these companies with laws that aren't directly related to food safety, such as those prohibiting wire or mail fraud.

In his effort to put food companies on warning, Delery spoke to food manufacturers at a safety meeting in Dallas, Texas, last month. He said the majority of American food is safe, but "even a tiny minority" can cause harm.

'The criminal prosecutions we bring should stand as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of disregarding danger to one's customers in the name of getting a shipment out on time — of sacrificing what is right for what is expedient," he told the food companies.

The food industry says it is on board with regulation and enforcement.

were cut by 11 14.5 percent overall, hesaid.Thataverage includesirrigated acres,so dryland farmers likely experiencedmore severeimpacts.

Chastain said the outlook for 2015 currently appears bleaker, with growers reporting averageyield lossesof25 percent.

"Hopefully, that's a worstcase scenario," he said.

Ron DeConinck, a farmer near Woodburn, said he's expecting a 20 percent reduction in yields despite irrigating his fields, though that figure remains speculative at this point.

Fields that were irrigated twice seem to be faring well but those only irrigated once areclearly damaged, he said.

"There were a few days there, it literally burned it."

Rodney Hightower a farmer near Junction City, said growers in the southern Willamette Valley are expecting yield lossesof30 percent.

His farm produces severalgrasstypes,aswellas specialt y seeds and some grain, and the drought stress has affected most of them, he said."This year, being diversified may not help a whole lot."

Marion Ag Service's seed cleaningoperation is 10 days ahead of schedule due to the warm weather, which is the earliest that the company's seedspecialist,ScottBanyard, can remember.

An acre usually generates roughly 2,500 pounds of grass seed, but this year the range is about 1,700-2,000 pounds to the acre, said Banyard.

The only upside to the low yield expectations is that demand for grass seed may consume this year's crop as well as leftover inventories.

Continued from Page 1B pursueda minimum wage hike during the last legislative session, which ended earlier this month. One piece of minimum wage legislation — Senate Bill 327 — began a long journey inside the halls of the Legislature in January only to be left stranded in committee when the Legislature ended.

SenateBill327was designed toraise the state minimum wage to $12.20 by 2017 in a graduated process.

Wages, obviously, play a pivotal role in measuring the economic health of a region. In much of the eastern part of the state,the average wage forjobslingersata lowerlevelthan the statewide average, according to statisticsfrom Oregon Employment Department's Labor Trends fact sheet.

Forexample,theaverage annualwage in Wallowa County was nearly $16,000 less than the Oregon statewide rate.

According to Labor Trends, the average wage for government jobs remains higher than the pay scale in the private sector. In Baker County, for example, the average wage stood at $32,951 per year while the average yearly wage paidoutin the private sectorstood at $30,657. In contrast, the average gov-

"La Grande is the perfect community for Modern Woodmen," Brainerd said."It's a small town. This is the type of place we can make a difference."

Harting said so much of what the company stands for is educating families.

Brainerd said life insurance isn't a matter of if you'll need it, but when you'll need it. People need to work toward getting their family in order financially if the worst were to

Additionally, she helps with the first steps for setting aside money for retirement and how much is needed, she said.

Brainerd can offer her clients the information, and over several meetings with her, can determine what's needed and what's not as faraslife insurance,retirement, savings accounts and estate planning. She said the subject matter isn't something that can be talked about and decided in one meeting.

the management team gets the feel of what it is like to have to make a decision to pay this bill and not another and what the impact of not paying a bill on time might have on the company.

What your team will discoveristhatthere are very few, if any, pennies left over atter paying for all the expenses.

Whatever isleftover has to be reinvested when a job has to be redone due to poor quality, replace worn out equipment or to give people raises.

This exercise should lead into a conversation about how everyone can help by reducing unnecessary expenses, taking care of equipment to last longer and by being more efficient.

THURSDAY,JULY )6, 20)5 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Borntoday,you can be farmore insecure than you seem toothers, and self-doubt occaslonally preys upon your psyche to the point that you are unable to make clear decisions about your future. It will be important to you, throughout your lifetime, to surround yourself with those who knowyou well, who love you and respect you for who you are and what you have to offer, and who know how to help you forge ahead when your own fears and insecurities conspire to hold you back.

California gas skyrockets

By Tom Murphy The Associated Press

Oil prices that slumped steeply earlier this year may take another hit once a historic deal between the West and Iran allows that country to start pouring more crude into a market already brimming with supply.

Many analysts estimate that Iran, OPEC's fourthlargest oil producer, has piled up tens of millions ofbarrels on floating barges that can be exported in fairly short order after sanctions have been lifted. The country will follow that with increased production &om its oil fields.

When all this happens and how it ultimately affects the price of oil remains far &om certain. Energy prices can depend onproduction levels in other countries, currency rates and demand sparked by the health of global economies. Plus there are questionsabout the state ofIran's oil in&astructure and its ability to increase production.

Despite all the uncertainty, analyst Tom Kloza expects the lifljng of sanctions to help make energy prices next year "morepalatableformostof the world." Kloza, global head of energy analysis for the Oil Price Information Service, notedthatadditionalproduction fiom Iran would be mixed in with high volumes currently being churned out by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the U.S. and other oil-producing countries.

"All cylinders right now are just firing for high oil supply, and this just might be the turbo that throws more oil onto the market for 2016,"

he said.

Those bulging supplies sent the price of oil plunging from $107 a barrelin June 2014 to a low of about

$43 this March. The price rebounded to near $60 before sliding back last week as an Iranian deal seemed imminent. After initially dropping Tuesday on the announcement of the agreement, oil rallied to close up 84 cents at

$53.04.

Iran produced about 2.8 million barrels a day last month, but its oil exports havefallen to about 1.1 million barrels since sanctions were enforced in 2012.

The country's oil fields are estimatedtobecapable of raising daily production to 3.4 million to 3.6 million barrels within months of sanctions being lifted, according to the International Energy Agency's July oil market

report.

However, potential roadblocks stand in the way.

Sanctions likely will be eased slowly, and the Iranians m ay find itharderthan they expected to bump up production, said Amy Myers Jatfe, an energy consultant and executive directorfor energy and sustainability at the University of California, Davis.

She noted that sanctions made it difficult for the countryto obtain spareparts and assis tancein operating its oil fields. Oil is essentially harder to extract from Iran's fields than from those in other countries like Iraq, and international oil companies planning to start production there need to be wary of problems like corruption.

"Companies are going to have tobevery carefulabout how they go in," she said.

MINERS JUBILEE

u ieea SmaOram era e

Re~onweekend Miners Jubilee has become the traditional period for Baker High School class reunions.

• Kurt Miller donates electrical boxes to power vendors at Geiser-Pollman Park

By La'akea Kaufman Ikaufman©bakercityherald.com

Miners Jubilee will be powered up like never before this year, thanks to the new outdoor electrical system donated by Kurt Miller of the Baker Truck Corral.

Miller, who also coordinates the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally, is donating the six, 50-amp Spider Boxes he uses during the motorcycle event to power vendors at Geiser-Pollman Park during the Jubilee this weekend.

The electrical system powered the booths of roughly 45 vendors during the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally.

"The Chamber iof Commerce) had 3 Spider Boxes from when they put the event on a couple years ago," Miller said.sWe bought them and then doubled the

amount just because it was needed."

The yellow boxes sit about six inches off the ground, and aren't much bigger than an encyclopedia. Attached to the Spider Boxes are multiple black rubber cords that are about two inches in diameter.

These will deliver power to the various food trucks, merchandise booths, and musical performances during Miners Jubilee.

Miller said the six boxes and roughly 800 feet of cord represent about $12,000 worth of electrical equipment.

He said he was glad to be ableto offerthe boxesto the Jubilee participants. sWe wanted them to be available in the public domain for anyone to use them," Miller said.

RIDING Continued ~om Page1C McPheron said the first bull competition was held in 1995, and the first broncs two years later. sWe're pretty proud of what we've done to bring these events to Baker," he said.

"The fact that the bronc event has lasted 19 years is phenomenal."

McPheron said the events have helped the local economy as well.

"Economically this has been great for Baker. It's put Baker on the map,"

Figuring out whether you're in a wilderness or national recreation area,or along a wild river, is relatively easy, because national forest and BLM district maps, which you can buy at any agency office or at most sporting goods stores, show those areas.

But to find the boundaries of existing mining claims, unless you find a marker posted on a tree you'll probably have to do more thanunfold a map and give it a brief glance.

According to BLM, "there are no published maps showing mining claims."

This is one place where mining laws, as they're printed on paper, diverge from the way in which federalagencies enforce those laws on the ground.

Based on the laws, any claim you stake is invalid unless you can convince federal officials that the property contains a "valuable mineral deposit," according to the Forest Service's Geology and Minerals Training Office in Missoula, Montana.

The annual Miners Jubilee golf tournament is Saturday

and Sunday at Quail Ridge Golf Course.

The two-person scramble format begins at 7 a.m. each day.

Entry fee per golfer is $100 with a season pass, $120 without the pass. There is a half-price practice round scheduled Friday. Call 541-523-2358 for more information and for tee times.

MINING Continued from Page1A The second option is to file a fee waiver form, which states that you will, during the next year, spend at least $100 on your claim. The deadline to file the waiver form also is Aug. 31.

As with all matters pertaining to mining claims, you get the proper paperwork from, and pay your fees to, the BLM, even if your claim is on national forest land.

Although mining laws provide options for maintaining a claim, they aren't so flexible as far as staking the claim in the first place.

From theday you fi nd a potential claim, you have 90 days to stake it, Mowery said.

BLM's state office in Portlandcan provide allthe proper papers. 0$cials there also will take some of your money.

The tab includes a onetime location fee of$184,a one-timeservicecharge of $10, and the first annual maintenance fee of $140.

Besides filling out forms and paying fees, you'll need to put in posts marking the boundaries of your claim, Mowery said.

Placer claims, which are the most common type because they're usually easier and cheaper to work, are limited to 20 acres. iPlacers are gold deposits in stream beds or sediments.

Placer mining methods include panning, dredging and sluicing.)

Claims for lode mining idiggingunderground tofind goldveins,a m ethod also known as hard-rock mining) can't exceed 1,500 feet in

You stake achim,butyou Government officials emphasize that staking a claim does not entitle you to control the land as if you owned it.

You can't, for example, put up "private property" signs on your claim, or block access roadswith gates,he said.

The claim gives you the exclusive right to extract valuable minerals from the land — but that's all.

Hunters can hunt on your claim, hikers can hike across it,and anglerscan tossa line in the same stream where you pan or dredge for gold.

But only you can legally take the gold ior silver, or otherprecious metals).

Mining laws also limit the sorts of structures you can erect on your claim.

For example, don't plan on staking a claim and then building a cute little log cabin there.

The law allows miners to buildstructures thatare "reasonably necessary" to work their claims, according to theForestService.

But on occasion a miner tries to stretch the definition of"reasonably necessary" well beyond its breaking point.

If, for example, you're a recreational miner who pans a few flakes or runs a suction dredge on a few summer weekends, then you're not likely to be able to convince federal officials that you need a three-room cabin, with knotty-pine walls and a satellite TV antenna, on your claim.

"A NIGHT ATTHE BAKER HERITAGE MUSEUM" ART SHOW CONTINUES DURING JUBILEE

By Lisa Britton For the Baker City Herald

Turn artists loose in a museum and you never know what kind of art will result from their checking every exhibit and display.

In November 2014, regional artists were invited to tour the Baker Heritage Museum in Baker City to find inspiration for artwork to befeatured at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center in April 2015.

Now that show — "A Night at the Baker Heritage Museum" — is on display in the museum's ballroom throughout July.

"It's going to be really fun," said Lea Hoover, museum director.

For this show, artists submitted works in many mediums, and subjects variedfrom a wagon wheel spoke to barbed wire to the glowing rock display.

"I think it's really interesting what inspired them," Hoover said.

Most pieces are accompanied by a description.

For his watercolor and wax creation, Mike Meyer said: "It was not just one museum but literally 100 little ones scattered under one roof."

In this work, he combined different exhibits into a fantasy-like image, including an Airstreamtraveltrailer being pulled by a team of oxen.

Other works include barbed wire strands painted in watercolor, a Whippet car driving on a dirt road through the sagebrush, and a clay bowl decorated with a horned toad and sidewinder.

Tymmera Whitnah was inspired by textures throughout the museum, and she used clay to recreatethe old wooden slats ofthe wheat thresher.

Some pieces on display were not part of the April show at Crossroads, and many are available to purchase (unless the accompanying card is marked with a red sticker).

The variety exhibited among the art speaks to the

•000

depth of the museum's collections.

'You can visit here 100 times and still find something new," Hoover said.

The Baker Heritage Museum, 2480 Grove St., is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily through October, including during Miners Jubilee.

Admission is $6 for adults; $5, seniors and youth ages 13-17;and freeforchildren age 12 and younger.

For more information, call 541-523-9308or visitthe website www.bakerheritagemuseum.com.
