Elkhorn Drive

free of snow The Elkhorn Drive Scenic Byway, the 106-mile paved route that circles the Elkhorn Mountains west of Baker City, is free of snow and open, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest reports.

Lingering snowdrifts had blocked a two-mile section of the byway above Anthony Lakes.

Baker City water rates increasedTuesday. That prompts David Hawkins to develop a watering plan or cycle for his yard, flowers and trees at his Second Street home in south Baker City.

He saidTuesday hewaters only in the mornings and evenings, once a week with each section receiving an hour of irrigation. With one eye on his cycle and the other eye on his water bill, Hawkins says he can tell if something goes amiss, like developments of leaks at faucets, hoses or underground pipes.

City residents will see a m odest boostin water feesthis month, and the trigger to the hikes can be traced to both a slightly vague measurement of thecostofconsumer goods, and the 2013 cryptosporidium crIsls.

The Residential Utility Fee — which includes water, sewer and sidewalks fees and is billed every other month by the city — will jump from the currentbase rate of$99.44,to

$104.02.

The increase of $4.58 became effective Tuesday.

The base rate includes six 750-gallon units of water during the two-month period.

Customers who use more than that will now pay 68 cents per additional unit, up from 64

This is the second rate hike in 2014.

No free lunch this Friday

By Chris Collins ccollins©bakercityherald.com

Thursday is the last day free summer lunches will be served at the Baker City Christian Church and no lunches will be servedatothermeal sites Friday because of the Fourth of July holiday.

The church site will be closed because of a lack of participation, said Jessica Wickert, Baker School District Food Services director.

An average of just 20 children ages 18 and younger were stopping by the church at 675 Highway 7 for the free meals, Wickert said.

And some of those were only coming there to avoid long lines at the park and the North Baker site, she said.

To put in some perspective the span of Glen Daugherty's career in the car business in Baker City, conr sider this: When he broke in, salesmen, like doctors, still made house calls.

No trip to the showroom.

He would pull up in the latest Buick, let you see what it Submitted photo looked like parked G l e n Daugherty in your driveway.

Daugherty, whose tenure extended across nearly seven decades, died Saturday at St. Alphonsus Medical Center-Baker City after a briefillness.

A lifelong Baker County resident, Daugherty was 89.

"He was a great guy," said Bill Boles of Baker City, Daugherty's longtime friend and hunting and fishing companion.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 2, 1964 Daryle Burnside has been appointed as sales representative for the C. Jack Miller Insurance agency, according to an announcement today by C. Jack and La Vera Miller, owners of the agency.

Burnside is a 1961 graduate of Baker High School and completed his junior year with a business major at Eastern Oregon College. He will be on a full-time basis selling and servicing fire, auto, casualty, burglary, boat, bond and other types of general insurance.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 3, 1989 Baker's leading citizen, Leo Adler, was honored at a special breakfast at the Kopper Kitchen and ceremonies at LeoAdler Field Saturday morning.

The Baker City Council had proclaimed Saturday as "Leo Adler Day" in conjunction with the final weekend of theBabe Ruth baseballseason.

Adler, 94, helped fund the building of the field named in his honor several years ago.

"Leo personally gave the upfront match for the construction of the Babe Ruth field," Baker County Chamber of Commerce president Kent Bailey told the 30 to 35 people at the chamber-sponsored breakfast. "As the sign says, it was his spark that got the field built."

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 2, 2004 Wallowa-Whitman National Forest officials have taken a figurative chain saw to timber prices in an effort to entice lumber companies to buy trees burned during the 2002 Monument Fire.

No one bid on the burned timber the first timeWallowaWhitman officials offered it, on June 4 at a minimum price of $40 per1,000 board-feet.

But when they try a second time, on Thursday, the price will plummet to $11.10 per1,000 board-feet, said Carla Monismith, timber sales officer for theWallowa-Whitman.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 10, 2013 Del's Feed 6r Farm Supply is closing its Baker City store, at 2220 Resort St. The business opened there in April 2008.

"This was a very difficult business decision based on many factors that was reached only after a great deal of consideration," John Logan, regional vice president for thecompany based in Lakewood, Wash., said in a press release.

'The trust people had in him," Boles said."He was a

Daugherty was born in Baker City and he grew up in Haines.

He graduated from Haines High School in 1942, one of eight graduates in his class.

Daugherty was a machinegunner in World War II, servingfor 127 straight days on the front lines in the European theater, from the Saar valley in Germany to Czechoslovokia.

Daugherty and Baker bought Baker Garage in 1972, after owner Dorothy iSouthardl Harrison died.

When Baker became ill in 1983, Randy Daugherty returned to Baker City and bought Baker's share.

Father and son remained business partners for the next 31 years.

Randy said his father loved to hunt for grouse, chukar and pheasants, and to troll for trout at Unity, Thief Valley and Malheur reservoirs.

He also enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports.

"He lived a wonderful life," Randy said.

information provided by the Oregon Department of Education, just 12 percent of chil dren eatingfree and reduced-price meals during the school year participated in the 2013 summer lunch program.

Last year's program drew an average of 86children aday,according to the report, with a totalof4,691meals served in 2013.

Lesley Nelson is child hunger prevention manager for Partners for a HungerFree Oregon in Portland.

The nonprofit agency's goal is to provide"support, outreach and advocacy" for the free summer lunch programs, Nelson said. The organization provides mini-grants of up to $5,000 to help programs expand. The Baker School District is a past grant recipient.

Nelson praised Wickert's efforts to improve Baker City's lunch program.

"She's just a huge champion for feeding kids," Nelson said.

Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon representatives will visit all of the state's 36 counties, including a stop in Baker City, this summer, Nelson said. ''We want to make sure everyone in the state who wants to run these programs has the knowledge and the resources they need," Nelson said.

'These programs have an important role to play when school is out in the summer," she said.

Not only are children being fed, but as with the Baker meal sites, those attending have an opportunity to work on academic skills, meet with friends and participate in games and art projects.

"Socialand academic needs are at risk for summer-learning loss," Nelson said.'This is a great opportunity ... to keep kids well-fed and to keep their brains working and nourished."

BRIEFING Halfway native graduates from UTI SACRAMENTO — Halfway native Beth Harriman recently graduated from University Technical Institute iUTIl and has received multiple Student of the Course honors.

• Gary Dielman of Baker City has a page on the social media site — but he didn't create it

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Gary Dielman was intrigued about the messages on the Facebook page bearing his name.

Because he doesn't have a Facebook

page.

Never has had one.

But Facebook, as its users know, doesn't ask forproofofidentification when you create an account.

Dielman, a longtime Baker City resident, said Di e lman he was initially"more amused than upset" about learning that someone was impersonating him on the ubiquitous social media site.

But his amusement didn't dissuade him from digging around in Oregon laws to figure out whether the impersonator, were that person identified, could be prosecuted.

It is illegal in Oregon to impersonate a public official.

And Dielman thinks he might qualify

as such, having been elected as a precinct committee person for the Baker County Democratic Central Committee and as a member of the Baker County Library District Board.

He said he sent an email to Baker County Sheriff Mitch Southwick explaining the situation.

"I think it's so colossally stupid," Dielman said."I hope the person gets caught."

Several states, not including Oregon, have laws against impersonating a person online. Generally, these laws define illegal impersonation as instances in which the imposter intends to harm, threaten or defraud someone.

The person who set up the fake Gary Dielman Facebook account did so on May 15, 2013.

As of Tuesday morning the imposter had 24 friends, one of whom unintentionally tipped off Dielman to the impersonation.

Dielman said this friend called him on Saturdaytoask him where he had obtained information related to the May

These girls aren't just on the streets — they are worked out of strip clubs,m assage parlors and truck stops.

They are gang raped, beaten, abusedand sometimes killed.

From the law enforcement perspective in"Renting Lacy," readersseethatthe girlsare often arrested because it is the only way to keep them safe, even for a few days.

But they almost always go back to the pimp — either becauseofloyalty orfear.

The whole situation, she describes in her book, stems fiomsupplyand demandand it can be stopped when the demand goes away.

Also, the club is planning fundraisers in the near future to raisemoney fortheorganizations that fight traftcking. ''We want to make thousandsofdollarsfor these organizations," said Sheryl Blankenship.

Smith holds nothing back in"Renting Lacy" — and in her commentary, she always

The Baker City Council missed a chance last week to erase the perception that if you don't already work at City Hall, you probably never will no matter how prodigious your skills.

Councilors considered two related issues during their June 24 meeting.

First, they discussed whether to retain the job of intern on the list of employee classifications.

Second, councilors debated whether to add to the city's employment policy a clause requiring the city to advertise all job vacancies both inside City Hall and externally.

Councilors ended up making only the first change: They deleted the intern position from the city's employee classifications.

We don't see how this will have any effect on the issue at hand, which is the insular nature ofhiring

at City Hall.

The Council should have added the clause mandating the city cast a wide net when it's looking for employees.

Sometimes the city does so.

In his report to the Council, City Manager Mike Kee wrote Many times the City will advertise both internally and externally."

But the city's employment policy also contains these sentences: • "Whenever possible these (new or vacant) positions will be filled from within the City workforce."

• "All new and vacant positions except for entry level positions will be advertised in-house to each department within the City workforce."

We understand that in some cases — perhaps even in most cases — a current employee is eminently capable of filling a vacancy. Institutional knowledge is a valuable commodity in any operation, certainly.

But by looking only inside City Hall when there's an opening, the city undoubtedly will squander chances to hire people who would bring not only toplevel ability, but also a fresh perspective.

This contradicts the city's own employment policy, which includes this sentence: "Baker City will endeavor to fill each new and vacant position with the most qualified person for

the job."

e terma o The Supreme Court's ruling in the Hobby Lobby case, which allows some for-profi tbusinessestoclaim areligious exemption to the federal mandate requiring employers to provide insurance benefits that fully cover contraception, has generated intense emotion on both sides.

Ilyse Hogue, the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, blasted the ruling as "a direct attack on women and our fundamental rights" from "five male justices.

"Othershailed theruling asa resounding win for freedom of conscience.

What's largely missing from the debate arethevoicesoffem inistswho believe it's dangerous to tie women's freedoms to government-mandated benefits.

It's unclear how broad the ruling's effects will be. The case applies to a specific type of business: corporations with a limited number of shareholders such as Hobby Lobby, the crafts store chain.

The court's majority has held that, since religiously affiliated non-profits such as schools and charities are partially exemptfrom the contraceptive coverage mandate iwhich they believe would force them to pay for abortion-inducing drugs and devices), family-owned businesses are entitled to the same exemption.

Framing the issue as a"war on women" is misguided and polarizing.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Bringing privacy into the digital age Editorial from The (Bend) BulIetin: Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, was a happy man June 25 when the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the government must get a warrant before it goes trolling through the information you've stored on your cellphone.

Happy, yes. But not completely satis-

fied.

It's still legal for the federal government to track you through the GPS included on that phone or the one that's in your car or on your wrist. That power, he believes, must be curbed.

He, more than most Oregonians, shouldknow. He'sbeen a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee for a decade or more, and he has long

believed the law needs to catch up with life in the digital age, at least where privacy is concerned.

Thus he has worked to rein in the National Security Agency's habit of gathering millions of telephone records as a matter of routine, and thus he continues to work to require the government to obtain a warrant before it tracks you through your GPS. Like the cellphone, the GPS is a wonderful tool when used correctly. It can get you where you want to go without the hassleofhaving to stop and read a map. Law enforcement can use it to tracka lostchild,or lostadult,forthat matter.

It can also be used by agencies ranging from the NSA to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to track whomev-

er they please, wherever and whenever they please. Unless they're required to goto courtto geta warrant — and for now they're not — you may never know. They do so, they're likely to tell you, in the name of national security.

Wyden hopes the high court's position on cellphone data will be mirrored in any ruling it might make on warrantless GPS surveillance. We do too.

The court did not flatly outlaw getting data from cellphones; it did say warrants are required, and in a genuine emergency, they may be obtained after the fact.

That stri kes a reasonable balance between the right to privacy and the need for information. A similar decision on GPS would simply extend that balance.

BAKER CITY HERALD — 5A

• U.S. falls despite epic performance by goalkeeper Tim Howard

By Ronald Blum AP Sports Wrtter

SALVADOR, BrazilThey captured the hearts of America— from coastto coast, big towns and small, all the way to the White House.

Capturing the World Cup will have to wait.

Just like four years ago, the United States is going home after the round of 16, beaten when Belgium scored twice in extra time Tuesday and then held on for a 2-1 win.

'Thirty-one teams get their heart broken," goalkeeper Tim Howard said."It has to end sometime. It ended a little bit early for us."

Playing the finest game of his career, Howard stopped a dozen shots to keep the Americans even through regulationand force an additional 30 minutes. He wound up with 16 saves — the most in the World Cup since FIFA started keeping track in 2002.

Before exiting, the U.S. showed the spunk that won America's attention. The Belgians built a two-goal lead when Kevin De Bruyne scored in the 93rd minute and Romelu Lukaku in the 105th.

But then Julian Green, at 19 the third-youngest player in the tournament, stuck out his right foot to volley in Michael Bradley's pass over the defense in the 107th, two minutes after entering.

"I was sure that we would make the second goal and we would go to the penalty shootout," Green said.

The Americans nearly did.

In the 114th, Clint Dempsey peeled away on a 30-yard free kick by Bradley, who passed ahead to Chris Wondolowski. He fed Dempsey, and goalkeeper Thibaut

Courtois bolted offhis line to block the 6-yard shot.

At the final whistle, the U.S. players fell to the field in their all-white uniforms like so many crumpled tissues.

"They made their country proud with this performance and also with their entire performance in this World Cup," said Jurgen Klinsmann, the former German World Cupchampion who took over as coach three years ago.

The Americans advanced from a difticult first-round group to reach the knockout rounds of consecutive World Cups for the first time. Four years ago, they were eliminated by Ghana 2-1 on a goal in the third minute of extra time.

"Getting to the round of 16, if we don't do that, we're very, very disappointed," U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said.awe get here and it's kind of the swinggame.We getbeyond here, then it's generally viewed as very successfulthis year was a little different because of the group we had in the first round, so that I think is already a success."

"If this continues, then we're in trouble," he recalled thinking.

With forward Jozy Altidore still notrecovered from the strained hamstring that had sidelined him since the June 16 opener, Klinsmann inserted Wondolowski as a second striker in the 72nd m inute.

He appeared tohave a chance to win it in stoppage time when Jermaine Jones flicked the ball to him at the Max Faulkner / Detroit Free Press top of the 6-yard box, but with Courtois coming out, Justen Woody, left, and Robert Driskill both of FortWorth,Texas, cheer at AT&T Stadium in Arlington,Texas, as soccer fans watch theWorld Cup soccer match between the Wondolowski put the ball USA and Belgium on Tuesday in Brazil.

WATER Continued ~om Page1A ''We'vegottopaythebills.

You can't not pay your bills. I think what we got will cover the loan repayment on the water treatment system," City Councilor Clair Button said.

Baker City has disinfected its water with chlorine for manyyears but officials understooda longtime agothat another mechanism to protect water was a necessity, City Manager Mike Kee said. ''We've known for years that we are going to have to

put an additional treatment source on our water because initiallyit had been treated with chlorine and chlorine does not affect things like crypto," Kee said.

He said Federalregulations alsostipulated thatanother treatment option — such as UV light or filtration — be instituted. ''We had been working towardthatforseveralyears, saving money, and the council decided they wanted to try to do that without borrowing money," Kee said.

Then the crypto crisis

erupted last summer and the paradigm changed dramatically, Kee said "Itbecame apparentjust because people had not been sick in the past that we know of, it didn't mean they wouldn't get sick in the future," Kee said.

So the city moved forward rapidly to gather bids and solidify a plan to construct a permanent UV facility.

Meanwhile, the city also decided to install a temporary UV facility.

treatment mechanism) and we continue to treat water at a very high level for crypto and giardia in addition to the chlorine," Kee said.

While seemingly necessary, installation of two UV systems did cost money. The only place to recoup funds earmarked for a loan is through the city's water fund.

"It's an expensive process.

And because of the outbreak we had to spend some of those reserves saved up which had a real impact on our water fund and that is how we pay for things within the water system. The only revenue we have to build things and fix things are the fees myself and all the other water customers pay," Kee said.

Kee said thecity'swateris safe.

"It is as safe as we know how to make it," he said.

Livestock programs available in the Pacific Northwest SPOKANE, Wash.— The United States Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency's Spokane Regional Office is reminding Pacific Northwest livestock producers of upcoming important dates for livestock risk management programs available in all counties in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

The Livestock Risk Protection program forfed cattle,feeder cattle and swine and the Livestock Gross Margin program for swinebegan salesforthe2015 crop year Tuesday. Sales will continue through June 30, 2015, or until the maximum underwritingcapacity isreached.

LRP coverage protects the policyholder from downward price risk during the insurance period. LGM provides protection against the loss of gross margin — market value oflivestock minus feed costs. LRP and LGM do not cover any other peril, such as mortality, condemnation, physical damage, disease, individual marketing decisions, local price deviations or any other cause ofloss.

Cattle and swine producers are encouraged to contact a local livestock insurance agentfor additional details.Federalcrop insuranceprogram policiesaresold and deliveredsolely through private crop and livestock insurance companies. A list of livestock insurance agents is available at all USDA service centers throughout the United States or on the RMA website at www3.rma.usda.gov/tools/agents. The RMA Spokane Regional 0$ce serves Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

USDA reminds producers of 2014 acreage reporting date U.S. Department of Agriculture Oregon Farm Service Agency Executive Director Phil Ward is reminding agricultural producers that July 15 is the deadlineto fi le an acreage report for spring seeded crops.

Direct Music Source store owner Anthony Corig talks about his music store and its new location at 1206Adams about a block from its former location.

Making iieautifulmusic ata • Direct Music Source moving, celebrating 10th anniversary

By Dick Mason WesCom News Service

l~

Direct Music Source of La Grande has taken many stridesforward sinceitopened

a decade ago.

The latest ofthese strides,one proving both exhausting and invigorating, is now virtually complete.

Direct Music's staff is finishing a move from 1010 Adams Ave. to 1206 Adams Ave. The music store began operating at its new location Monday. aWe're still putting displays up, but we are open," said Anthony iTonyl Corig, who owns Direct Music Source with his wife, Margaret.

The move will add musical tempo to Friday nights in La Grande and help the store showcase the ingenuity of Oregon's musical spirit.

The new Direct Music Source location has about twice the space it previously did. The additional space will allow Direct Music to increase its inventory, which will include the Breedlove guitar line.

The Breedlove model was developed in Bend, where the popular guitar is now manufactured. aWe have wanted to add that line for some time," Corig said.

He wanted to add Breedlove because the company has an excellent

Businesses rise and fall based on the ability of the managers in the organization to hire, educate,m otivate and focus the right employees on key success factors. That responsibility begins and ends with the owner. If an owner wants to make more money, the first thing that must happen is that the amount of time spent coaching the company's managers must increase.

This does not mean"spend more time doing the job of the managers who report to you." Managers are on the payroll to getthingsdone through people. If the current crop of managers are not managing, the company can make more money by terminating the managers not doing what they are paid to do and replacing them with people who have the right skills, abilities and attitude.

That is the second way to make more money for the company.

Managers are not overhead, and they are not coststobe cut.M anagers arecriticalto the successof an organization and have key responsibilities including communication, focus, education and training, cost control, analysis, focus and motivation.

Individuals with this title have to make tough decisions that are not always popular.

That is the nature of managing people: Management is not a popularity contest.

Not many people are promoted into management SeeKeller / Page 2B

Triple C Redi-Mix lnc. of Baker City was honored with the 2013 Voluntary Reclamation Award for reclamation of old, eyesore excavations into crop-producing agricultural land.

Triple C Redi-Mix Triple C Redi-Mix, a concrete and gravel supplier located just

northeast of Baker City, near Highway 86, won thevoluntary reclamation award, which goes to a company that reclaims land that's exempt from the state's mandatory reclamation laws.

In 1995, company owner Cass Vanderwiele began backfilling severalold excavations on the northern end ofhis property.

These excavations, mined priorto 1972,wereexempt from reclamation requirements. Over the years, the shallow excavations had become overgrown with weeds and blackberries.

Concrete, tiresand otherdebris were dumped in the excavations.

MOVE Continued frorn Page 1B proven to be taxing as a result but also is leaving them with a spring in their step.

"It is exciting and exhausting at the same time," Anthony Corig said.

The Corigs like their new storenotonly because ofits additional space, but also because itis more centrally located in downtown La Grande. Like their old store, Direct Music's new location is also on the southwest side of Adams Avenue. Anthony Corig said itis important to be on thesouthwestsidebecause it receives less sunlight, which protects the instruments fiom heat and sun damage.

The interior of the new store is enhanced bylarge pen and ink-type drawings by Megan Gaston, a Cove High School student. She createdillustrations of violin, trombone, saxophone and drum players on the walls of the stom's new location. The portraits add an ambienceto therelocated stom, saidAnthony Corig, who enjoys providing opportumties foryoungpeople todevelopand showcase their skills.

"Itis away for me to encourage young artists," he said.

The store will have a different look but will offer all of the same services, including music lessons provided

by Anthony Corig. He has 40 students and teaches Monday through Saturday,

KELLER Continued frorn Page 1B with a set of success skills.

It is the responsibility of the owner to teach success skills to the managers who report to him or her. That is the third way to make money for the company: Teach the managers how to manage to achievethe desired resultsof the company.

The role of the owner is educator and coach.Time should be spent discussing with each manager how they can improve.

The owner must put an individual action plan into place for each manager and hold them accountable for meeting deadlines.

The fourthway to make moneyis to find away to have every manager use his or her strengths on the job. This not only makes the m anager feelbetter;itengages them and encourages them to be better at what they arebeing paid todo.

If managers have strengths but there is no effective way to utilize them in the company, it might be time toseeifthere areother places bettersuited to take advantageofwhat they have to offer.

The fikhway to make money is not to be atraid to discipline managers iand those who report to them) who violate standards, poli-

including one day a week in Baker City. Corig describes the time he spends teaching as his bestpartofeach day.

"I wish I could spend more time developing musicians," he said.

Instrumentrepairis another service that will continuetobeoffered atDirect Music. Everything from pianos to violins and guitars will continueto be repaired atthe La Grande music shop.

"If it is a musical instrument, we can repair it," Anthony Corig said.

The repairs offered include onefreeserviceforguitars and other string instruments.

"If one string breaks, we will repair it for no charge," he said.

Direct Music will still feature about 10 departments, including PA's/amplifiers; accessories forallstringed instruments; percussion instruments; violins and similar instruments including dulcimers and mandolins; orchestral stringed instruments; a full line of music books; and a woodwind and brasswind line.

Corig strives to keep all of his inventory as current as possible, something that's not always easy.

"Keeping track of the pulse of what the public wants is one of my biggest challenges," he said.

Direct Music will celebrate the grand opening of its new store location and its 10th anniversary Aug. 14-16.

cies and procedures. Organizationsdon'tcreaterulesand guidelines in a vacuum. They are created for a reason, and managers have jobs to enforce company policy — that includes the owner as well.

The sixth way to make money is for the owner to overcommunicate everything.

Thereisa diseaserelated to loss ofhearing and memory, and managers can be those who are aNicted early and often.

Once a manager gets the disease, itquickly spreads to other managers and to employees. The symptoms are numerous, often surfacing through whining, complaining and shock with a dose of indignation.

The disease is NOTMA, which stands for "no one told me anything."

Managers must be given daily doses of communication to limit the spread of this disease. Every important message, deadline and event must be repeated, tim eand time again, just in case a manager comes down with the symptoms on any given day.

What does it take for the owner to reap the benefits trom these six methods? It takes the commitment of time and focus fora prolongedperiodoftim etom ake a difference. What is the alternative? The answer is the status quo — an underperforming company and a fiustrated owner.

To the heroes still among us-

EFFORTS Continued from Page 1B late May to early June, the ponds would fill with up to five feet of water and become mosquito-breeding grounds.

Reclamation began with clearing the invasive vegetation. Thousands of cubic yards of fill material were then hauled in to level the ground. Soil material trom the active mine site was then spread as a final cover. The ponds being created by the active mining will be developed into wildlife habitat as final reclamation.

Approximately six to seven acres have been returned to agricultural production by this reclamation project.

Peas were planted as the first crop in spring 2002. This crop will be tilled into the soil as a soil-building exercise next fall. Alfalfa will ultimately be planted.

Beyond their voluntary reclamation efforts, Triple C has developed numerous innovations to improve their operation, including: • Multiple methods of water control have beenimplemented. Sumps were installed throughout the yard to collect storm waterand directthiswater to the excavations. Overburden strippings with high clay content are used to seal the pit wall to reduce the amount of groundwater infiltration. This reduces the amount of water that must be pumped trom active excavations but alsoreduces the slope angleofthe excavation wall.

• Triple C is backfilling mined out areas.

Itwasdiscovered that using broken concrete as the first layer of backfill dramatically increased the infiltration rate of sitting storm water at the surface, which helped reduce the amount of turbid water generated on site.

• On an annual basis, Triple C alters the truck tratfic within the permit boundary to lessen the potential impact on nesting geese.

Western Mine Development LLC The company and its mining manager, Philip Wirth, received the outstandingoperator award for Division II for work on the Twin Lake Ranch along Clarks Creek in southern Baker County near Bridgeport.

Western Mine Development of Baker County was honored with the 2013 Outstanding Operator, Division II Award in DOGAMI's Mined Land Reclamation awards.

The Outstanding Operator Awards recognizeoperations thathave done an excellent job of mine development and/or operations on a daily basis. The Division II award recognizes "mom and pop"operations thatgo beyond regulations to protect surface and groundwater,to protectadjacent naturalresources, toprotectadjacent properties, and that use innovative techniques to minimize adverse impacts.

Western Mine Development's initial planning and development, along with its day-to-dayoperations, help ensure protection ofnatural resources adjacent to its Twin Lake Ranch gold mining site.

The Twin Lake Ranch site is at the historic China Town settlement along Clarks Creek Mining along Clarks Creek goes back to the 1880s when the valley was dfedged atleasttwo separate tim es.

Dredge piles still line the creek bed.

Modern mining began in 2007, with an operatingpermit issued forfullscale mining in 2008.

Disputes between the then-operator and landowner resulted in a loss of leaseand permit transfer.

Western Mine Development assumed the lease and the mining permit in 2011.

Wirth began his career in the aggregate industry in the Willamette Valley.

Backed by Wirth's vast mining experience and sound business sense, Western Mine took steps to improve relations with the landowner and protect natural resources. Notable efforts include:

• Western Mine had a surveyor monument all corners of the permit boundary and mark the boundary in the field to ensure all operations were within the boundary. This is now a requirement for all new mine operations.

Wetlands were also identified and buffers marked in the field to protect these surfacewater features.

• During the vital initial exploration phase, Western Mine hired a seismic crew torun crosssectionsacrosstheproperty to accurately determine the depth to bedrock, and subsequently the depth to the pay zone, which is a relatively thin layer sitting abovethebedrock.

•A state-of-the-artprocessing plant was constructed on site, along with processwater ponds to contain allprocess water on site. The processing plant doesnotusechemicals to separate the gold trom the alluvial material. Gravity separation is used after the finer materialis segregated away from the coarse excavated materials.

• Soil material is stripped and salvagedseparately trom overburden for final reclamation. As the excavationprogresses,overburden isused to backfill the mined out area in a process called concurrent reclamation. Two feet of soil material is then spread and the area planted in a Natural Resources Conservation Service-approved weedtree pasture grass mixture.

The area is being reclaimed back to useforlivestock grazing.

Notice of the Availability of an Environmental Assessment The USDA Rural Development has received an application for financial assistance from the City of Island City, Oregon. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, Rural Development has approved an Environmental Assessment prepared by Anderson Perry 8 Associates, Inc., that evaluated the potential environmental effects and consequences of the proposed project. This notice announces the availability of the Environmental Assessment for public review and comment.

USDA is publishing this notice in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act review. Subsurface cultural studies are a requirement for funding of this project by Rural Development as the project lies in an area with a high likelihood of containing cultural resources. Completion of the cultural surveys will include development of mitigation measures with interested Tribal governments and Oregon's State Historic Preservation Office to avoid or minimize impacts to any culturally sensitive areas to be disturbed by the project.

The proposed project consists of a new well, new water reservoir, new booster pump system, improvements to the existing Well No. 4 Booster Pump Station, and several distribution system piping improvements. The proposed improvements to the distribution system include replacing existing pipelines in portions of "A" Street, South "D" Street, Harris Street, North "E" Street, South "E" Street, North "B" Street, White Birch Lane, McAlister Road, East First Street, Third Street, Railroad Avenue, Mt. Fanny Street, and Emily Drive to help reduce water loss, improve system looping and water quality, and improve available fire flow capacities. The new well, reservoir, and booster pump station will be located within the City limits and Urban Growth Boundary on property located directly south of the Island City Cemetery. Environmental impacts resulting from this project include farmland conversion of 0.21 acre (not requiring mitigation). A cultural resource survey including subsurface testing will be conducted within the footprint of the storage reservoir, new well, and pump house as well as all distribution system piping improvements within previously undisturbed areas in order to identify cultural resources within the area. A Cultural Resource Monitor will be on site during all earth disturbing activities. The project is intended to improve the reliability of water service provided to the residents in the City of Island City.

The alternatives considered to the proposed project include:

Copies of the Environmental Assessment are available for review at U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Attn: State Environmental Coordinator, 1201 N.E. Lloyd Blvd, Suite 801, Portland, Oregon 97232-1274. For further information contact Charlotte Rollier, State Environmental Coordinator, USDA Rural Development, 503-414-3356, or locally at the City of Island City Hall, 10605 lsland Avenue, Island City, Oregon 97850. Any person interested in commenting on this proposed project should submit comments tothe address above by July 30, 2014.

A general location map of the proposal is shown below.

hasbrokenhis eart DEARABBY: Ijust found out that my husband of80 years is having an ajj"air.

When Iconfronted him, he said: "I have a girlfriend. I can't imagine the rest of my life without girlfriends, so get over it."

Then he told me he has never been faithful, but that he loves me and would be devastated ifI left. He considers his fooling around to be "safe and harmless escapades.

Abby, my heart is broken.

He has flaunted this woman in my face, and embarrassed and humiliated me in public.

Now he's angry with me because I told her husband what is going on.

How do I ftnd the strength and courage to leave? I have some health issues and haven't worked in years.W hat do I tell our kids? My world is crashing down around my ears.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx wrote his statecounterpartsTuesday that they would see, on average, a 28 percent reduction in funds.

"Depending on how they manage the funds, each state will feel the effects differently, but everyone will feeltheimpact sooner or later," he wrote.

Congress has only 16 working days to reach an agreement before the August recess. Finding even a shortterm solution might prove difftcult. Last week, the Senate Finance Committee attemptedtomove forward

The Highway Trust Fund, which pays states for road and transit projects, is expected to go broke soon; the projection, by month in billions of dollars: $10.5 billion

U.S. Department of Transportation said Tuesday that it would start limiting paym ents to statesforroad and transit projects next month in an attempt to conserve the federal Highway Trust Fund's rapidly diminishing cash balance.

Usually, the department reimburses states for transportationprojectsupon request. But beginning Aug. 1, the states will have to live paycheck to paycheck, receiving funds only once every two weeks as money is collected through federal gasoline taxes.

The move may put pressure on Congress to approve at least a short-term fix before its August break begins.

message that stabilizing the Highway Trust Fund is a priority now," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the committee's chairman.

But Wyden's plan went nowhere after Republicans said it wasn't bipartisan enough.

"I amdisappointedthat the Senate appears to be heading down a partisan road on highway funding," Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement last week.

Since the Interstate Highway System was created in 1956, a per-gallon tax on motor fuels has supported federal spending on transportation. The tax has been stuckat 18.4 centsforgasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel since 1993, and it has lost its buying power to inflation.
