By Jayson Jacoby iiacoby©bakercityherald.com

Lightning has started two new fires in the Eagle Cap Wilderness area, and unlike several blazes in the wilderness in previous summers, WallowaWhitman National Forest officials took aggressive action tolim itthefi res' spread.

Both fires were reported Tuesday.

The main factor in prompting forest officials to fight the blazes is that both are relatively close to the wilderness boundary, said Jodi Kramer, the Wallowa-Whitman's public affairs officer.

The largest, estimated at 300 acres Tuesday evening, is burning about two miles north of China Cap peak, a prominent summit near the western edge of the wilderness east of Cath-

erine Creek.

The fi re,which produced a smoke column visible from Baker City, is on China CapRidge,between China Cap peak andthe Minam River.

Kramer said forest officials want to prevent the fire from threatening private land at the Minam Lodge.

The city does, however, issue special hunting permits to individuals who wish to hunt the area, so long as the fire danger is not extreme.

A 76-year-old Baker City man is in critical condition at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland where he is being treated for injuries sustained when his fourwheeler rolled down a steep embankment Mondayin the Wallowa Mountains.

Charles Leon Dale lost control of the four-wheeler on O'Brien Creek off Main Eagle Creek near Boulder Park.

Sheriff Mitch Southwick said the four-wheeler hit a tree and rolled over Dale in the crash.

Baker City Manager Mike Kee wants to remind area residents that the city's watershed is a restricted area.

"At some point, and m aybe always, any kind of trespassin the watershed is prohibited," Kee said.

Kee saidthe trespassing issuesare especially acute during the fire season, which is in full swing across Oregon and the West.

The campaign to combat Baker City's rash of mosquito problems will conclude tonight so long as thunderstorms continue to veer around town.

Workers from the Baker Valley Vector Control District sprayed a mosquito-killing fogina ma jority ofthe city's neighborhoods Monday and Tuesday nights.

"Our plan is to finish up the rest of town, including the outskirts like West Campbell Loop, tonight," the district's manager, Matt Hutchinson, said this morning.

On Monday night the distri ct' stwofogging trucks covered areas north of CampbellStreet and eastof10th Street, Hutchinson said.

With the archery season coming in late August, the chances of people illegally entering the watershed climbs, he said. ''We particularly monitor the watershed when bow season starts and the fire dangers is pretty high," he sald.

Kee said trespassing in the watershed is neither a new problem, nor an uncommon one. ''We find it does get tres-

passed a lot," he said.

While he said the watershed is public landmostly part of the WallowaWhitman National Forest — the 10,000-acre parcel is underarestricted access mandate.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 30, 1964 The $650,000 bond issue to build one high school at Eagle Valley (Richland) to replace existing facilities at Richland and Halfway was defeated by a substantial margin yesterday in the Pine-Eagle District 61 special school election.

All three precincts, including Richland, joined together in defeating the measure 686 to 106. The precinct totals were Richland, 144 to 100; Halfway, 465 to 4; and Oxbow, 77 to 2.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 31, 1989 A Baker hairdresser raked in more than $50,000 as the big winner in Saturday's Money Game of the Oregon Lottery.

Shirley Pierce, owner of Shirley's Shop, was one of five chosen to play the Money Game on stage at Portland television station KOIN. The program was shown at midnight Saturday because of a scheduling conflict. It usually is shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays.

Pierce qualified for the game with a lottery ticket purchased at Safeway.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 30, 2004 Eltrym HistoricTheatre owner Rudyard Coltman plans to ask a state board to overturn Baker City Building Official Jim Sayer's decision that Coltman must install fire sprinklers in the three-screen theater.

Coltman said he intends to file an appeal, possibly within a few weeks, with the Oregon Building Codes Structures Board.

He said he can't afford the estimated $100,000 to $120,000 cost to put in sprinklers and make several other changes to the theater that Sayers and Richard N. Smith, a deputy state fire marshal, deemed necessary.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 7, 2013 The Baker County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors decided this week that the organization will no longer organize and run Baker City's annual Miners Jubilee event.

In a press releaseTuesday morning, Chamber Director Debi Bainter said the board "has determined the event is no longer financially viable for the Baker County Chamber of Commerce and our members. Additionally, increased concerns over liability, not only of the event itself, but other activities that occur on the same weekend, provide an unacceptable level of risk for the Chamber of Commerce."

BASEBALL Continued ~om Page1A Lance Dixon of North Powder, who served as tournament director forthose two events,is reprisingthat rolefor next week's regional tournament, Folkman said.

Ryan Lind and Warren Wilson are assistant directors.

Folkman said the regional tournament fits neatly into Baker City's summer schedule.

That wasn't the case with the two previous state tournaments, which coincided with Miners Jubilee.

The regional tournament, though, follows Shrine

weekend.

"We don't want to compete with other events," Folkman said.

Because the regional tournament will help fill local motel rooms, Baker County's Transient Lodging Tax Committee — which oversees spending of the tax chargedto guests at motels,bed and breakfasts and RV parks — gave the Babe Ruthtournament $2,500to cover the fee for hosting the tournament, Folkman said.

Kee said itis importantforobvious reasons — that city officials monitor the area.

"Itisnotthatpeople arebeingirresponsible. It is just that we've gotaplan to controlthe watershed," he said.

Kee said itisn'tjust about local concerns. The state, he said, also requires the city to maintain certain mandates in its watershed plan.

'The state depends on us to

reinforce that plan. And this is how we are doingit so itis important we know who is in there and when they are in there," he said.

The watershed plan, however, is outdated and the cityrecentl yreceived grant monies to help fuel an effort to upgrade the blueprint. Kee said when officials begin to review the watershed plan they will look at a host of different

elements.

"I know that the uses for the watershed will be looked at again during this review. You could probably allow more use and still accomplish the goal thatyou are trying to," he said.

Opening the area up for more hunting may be a viable option, Kee said.

"Not necessarily motorized vehicles, but huntingis pretty low impact," he said.

WASHINGTON — The $659 million border stabilization bill introduced Tuesday

by House Republicans does not include emergency funding to fight wildfires, unlike previous proposals fiom President Obama and Senate Democrats.

The GOP plan, unveiled by House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers,

R-Ky., provides $405million for border security and law enforcement activities within the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department. It also allocates $197 million to the Department of Health and Human Services to provide humanitarian assistance such as food and shelter to the unaccompanied children already in

Legislation that would treat the very biggest fires as natural disasters,to be dealt with by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is pending in both the House and Senate. The 1 percent of largest fires consume 30 percent of wildfire funds, which &equently run out before the end of fire season.

When this happens, the Forest Service isforced to raiditsother accounts,a practice known as "fire-borrowing." In many cases,other projects, including those that reduce the brush and undergrowth that feed large fires, are postponed or canceled because the money has been spent on putting out fire.

You can watch them roll by, showroom-shiny, during local parades, but in our view the trucks from rural fire protection districts never look so good as when they're coated with dust and pinstriped with scratches from sagebrush.

When they're out doing what they were designed to do, in other words, which is protecting homes and valuable rangelands and crop fields from flames.

Fire will always pose a threat in our arid county.

But we've never been better equipped to deal with the danger.

The proliferation of volunteer-run rural fire districts over the past 15 or so years has added significant muscle to the county's firefighting capabilities.

With the creation of districts including Bowen Valley, Medical Springs and Sumpter rural, areas that once relied on state and federal agencies to put out fires now have their own powerful trucks parked nearby, with a cadre of volunteers ready to go at any time. Older districts, such as Keating, Haines and Baker Rural, continue to respond when called on.

We've also benefited, indirectly, from the Sept. 11, 2001,terroristattacks.

That prompted the federal government to increasebudgets foremergency services in ruralareas.

Through the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies, the feds have paid the bulk of the cost for new fire engines and other equipment that give these rural departments formidable firefighting tools.

The rural departments have proved their worth dozens of times over the years — and this summer has included several examples.

Rural fire district crews played crucial roles in dousing fires that could have been much more destructive, including blazes near Medical Springs, Rye Valley and the Radio Tower fire just southeast of Baker City.

As the fire season continues and, potentially, worsens across the West, firefighting resources from the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Forest Service and the BLM probably will be harder to come by.

It's no small comfort to know that in pretty much every part of Baker County, a skilled and wellequipped fire department will roll at the first hint of smoke or flame.

Your views Drum and Bugle Corps makes it a parade I was so happy to once again see the Drum and Bugle Corps perform in the Miners Jubilee parade. They made my day!! It is my belief that if they aren't in it, it isn't a

parade!!

Grateful for a lady's kindness On July 24 at checkout stand of a local grocery store, I inadvertently dropped some currency on the floor.

The lady behind me called my attention to it, picked up the dropped currency and handed it to me. Her act of honesty restores my faith in human nature.

She is an employee of Baker City's newly established "Bee Hive" facility, and her name tag showed"Terrie." I'm deeply grateful for her kindness.

GUEST EDITORIALS

Paying for silence on Cover Oregon Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Gov. John Kitzhaber wanted Triz delaRosa fired as Cover Oregon's chief operating officer in March as part ofhis effort to dean up the agency. She was unwilling to take the blame.

The result was a nearly $68,000 payoff tokeep herquietand preventherkom suing the state. The state agreed to give her a neutral job reference, and she agreed not to"make disparaging public statements to news media outlets." She continued to work and collect her salary until mid-May. This unsavory behind-the-scenes saga, reported by The Oregonian's Nick Budnick last week, reveals a governor more concerned with political cover than with discovering what went wrong and squaring with taxpayers. His March

housedeaningincluded accepting the resignation of Bruce Goldberg, who had taken leave kom his position as director of the Oregon Health Authority to lead Cover Oregon. The governor also asked the Cover Oregon board to fire delaRosa and Chief Information Offrcer Aaron Karjala.

Karjala resigned March 31,butdelaRosa challenged the state. In an April 7let terto Goldberg and Cover Oregon board Chair Liz Baxter, she defended her tenure and said she wasn't willing to be the"scapegoat" orseeher"reputation publidy harmed." She wrote that problems began while the Health Authority controlled the website's development, and thather offi ceregularly briefed relevant parties and the governor's stafl; which was

unwilling"to conkont the problems which we were reporting."

The settlement between the state and delaRosa also requires that she'will continue to comply with the terms of the Confidentiality Statement of Understanding she signed at the time ofhire with regard to protectingkom disclosure to unauthorized parties anyinformation assessed or maintained during the course of her employment at Cover Oregon ..."

Finger-pointing has become the name of the game in the aftermath of the Cover Oregon fiasco, leaving the public whipsawed between conflicting accounts about who is to blame. Paying for silence kom thoseaccused ofresponsibilityistheopposite ofthe transparencysodesperately needed.

Economy and Oregon governor's race Editorial from Grants Pass Daily Courier: Iflast week's debate between incumbent Gov. John Kitzhaber and challenger Dennis Richardson was any indication, we may be headed into a general election campaign that misses the forest as it concentrates on thetrees.

It's common for the first gubernatorial debateofthe generalelection season to be hosted by the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, as part of its annual convention. This year was no exception. This is usually a low-profile affair, which is just as well. It gives both candidatesa chance to test-drivesome of their campaign themes to see what kind of reaction they get.

On Friday, Kitzhaber sparred with Richardson, a state representative whose districtincludes partofJosephine County, on issues ranging kom educationreform tothe state'sfailed Cover Oregon health care exchange website.

Who knows, maybe Kitzhaber's

traditional overwhelming support in the populous Portland metropolitan area m eans this raceisoverbeforeitstarts.

Maybe not. But if Richardson wants to have a serious shot at denying an unprecedented fourth term to Kitzhaber, he's going to need to swing for the fence rather than playing small-ball with criti cism oftheCover Oregon debacle and Kitzhaber's stand on Common Core standardsfor publicschools.

The candidate who deserves to win this election will be the one who best outlines a vision that will allow the rest of the state to climb out of the hole left by the Great Recession to the same extent that Portland already has.

This will be Richardson's true challenge, ifhe is to have a shot at taking down the only three-term governor in Oregon's history. And, providing such a visionfortherestofOregon issomething Kitzhaber should feel obligated to include in his 2014 campaign.

The unemployment rate in the Portland metro area is now down to 6.1 percent,afterspiking atabove 11 percent at the height of the recession.

Meanwhile, here in Josephine County the rate remains stubbornly high at 9.7 percent, the same as the rate in nearby Klamath County. Some rural counties are even worse ofFthan Josephine — for example, both Curry and Crook counties still haveratesabove 10 percent.

Whether working toward economic improvements in rural Oregon is a winning strategy when election day rolls around remains to be seen. Still, it's a debatethat needs to takeplacebefore the gap widens any further between the two states of Oregon.

The ground beneath the subalpine fir tends to be marshy, so Johnson said there's never a window when it is not too wet or too hot and subalpine fir doesn't do well with fire, so instead of using prescribed understory burning, the prescription calls for using a slash buster to manage the thinned debris and leave the chips on the ground to decay and become partofthe soil.

LOS ANGELES — Matt Kemp is making acasefor himself,regardlessofwhere he's playing the rest of the season.

With his name being bandied about ahead of Thursday'strade deadline,Kemp hit a pair of two-run homers to power the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Atlanta Braves 8-4Tuesday night.

His four RBIs were a season high as he surpassed 600 career RBIs with 603. Kemp is hitting.400 in 10 games since the AllStar break.

"I'm not worried about any rumors," he said."I'm just worried about helping my team win."

Kemp is playing right field, where he began his career, having been moved from center field in the Dodgers' crowded outfield.

"I'd play anywhere right now," he said.

Riana Scott of Baker City, a member of the La Grande Swim Club, competes at the Inland Empire Championships in Wenatchee, Wash.

"I'm just happy to be in the lineup."

Yasiel Puig had four hits with two runs scored for the first-place Dodgers, who won their season-high fourth straight. Adrian Gonzalez is also hitting.400 since the break. He had two doubles, two runs scored and two RBIs. 'That's what we envision offensively," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.'We gotcontributions from allover."

The Dodgers trailed twice in their first meeting with the Braves since eliminating them in a National League division series last season.

Puig came up a home run short ofhitting for the cycle, lifbng his team-leading average to .317. He struck out in his final at-bat after tying his career high in hits.

Los Angeles rallied from a two-run deficit to tie it 4-all on an RBI double by Gonzalez and an RBI single by Carl Crawford in the

many are wearing

g•« g,'F

clowns ne of the key research findings outlined in Keith McFarland's book"The Breakthrough Company" is that there should only be one crown worn in every organization.

The book suggests that crown should not adorn the head of the owner.

That's a tough message for an owner to receive. What owner hasn't sacrificed blood, sweat, toil and tears in an effort to start,grow and beat thelong odds ofsuccessto have a business?

Hasn't the owner earned the right to wear the crown and have all the trappings of business ownership royalty?

And, truth be told, many vice presidents, directors, managers and supervisors wear a crown too.

For some reason, they believethey deserve it.Just ask them.

For breakthrough companies, the crown belongs to someone else. It should be placed on the head of the customer.

McFarland's findings suggest that by providing the customer with the crown, two critical things happen.

The first is that the customer will know they are truly considered royalty by the company, which is not something that takes place all that often. Truth be told, many companies pay lip serviceto theircustomers.

The second is that with the customer as the focus, employees align. No department isconsideredmore important than the other; none is less than any other. Each department plays an important role in serving the customer, and thoserolesare delineated.

Because the owner has given up the crown, he or she can make the change from being the all powerful, all knowing King or Queen of the company to a position with greater responsibility and impact: Chief Talent Scout and Head Coach.

When this change takes place, the business no longer needs a leader to make sure every customer is taken care of, because when the customer becomes royalty and SeeKeller / Page 2B

Peter Ferre readies the Lostine Tavern for its investor dinner held a few days before the fabled Wallowa County restaurant re-opened to the public in June.

• Lostine Tavern re-opens at the bridge of Wallowa County

By Katy Nesbitt Wescom News Service

LOSTINE — Peter Ferre, owner of the Lostine Tavern, explains how he parlayed his experience running a national business into openinga localfood-based restaurant in Wallowa County. ''What I've learned and what I'm good at is finding good people and creating an environment for them to excel," Ferre said."I love takingcare ofpeople."

Ferrestarted adivision for the company he worked for in Nashville, Tenn. He was then to start up a second division.

Eventually, that spun off into its own company. In just over a decade, Ferre's company was so successful, he said, he handed off the management and brought his family to live on a ranch outside of Wallowa.

He quickly incorporated into the community, becoming a board member of Slow Foods Wallowa.

Through Slow Foods he met other like-minded individuals who like to grow and cook food with a local bent. Through the insurance company he ran he said he functioned well with the country club set, but is "most comfortable with a bunch of forward-thinking ranchers."

His neighbors, Cory Carman and Dave Flynn, fit that description with their grass fed beef they market to restaurants in Portland. Their hamburger and roast beefarefeatured items on the

Through Slow Foods, Ferre met Lynne Curry, a chef and writer who published "Pure Beef," a grass-fed beef cookbook. Curry worked at high-end restaurants in the Puget Sound area and is a freelancefood writer.Theirloveof good food and small communities bloomed into opening a restaurant together.

"As two of the founding members of Slow Foods Wallowa, we startedtalking about food-oriented businesses. We are passionate about local, well raised, well cookedand wellpresented food," Ferre said.

Curry said when she published "Pure Beef' she was pitching around to see what she was going to do next.

"Peter had shared with me a business plan with local food. He showed me his three-page vision foralocalfood-based business and I was like, Wow, that is bigger than anything I've ever dreamed.' I had a really small, tightly focused menu — something that could potentially be an exported product, but his vision was way more comprehensive and I loved it."

EXPORTING COAL

NNinmVdacleard:USsendsdirtVcoaladroad The Associated Press

BOARDMAN — The largest power plant in Oregon, the Boardman Coal Plant, sat idle one day earlier this summer,"cold steel" in industry parlance, its dirty power no longer wanted on an electricity grid that is becoming greener.

For two weeks in June, wind and hydroelectric dams were supplying enough electricity to Portland General Electric's 830,000 customers, most of whom live far away in Portland. With increasing amounts of power required to come from renewable sources, Boardman eventually won't be needed at all. But that doesn't mean coalhereisdead.

By 2020, coal will no longer be

burned at the 38-year-old power plant, replaced by other sources that could include cleaner-burning natural gas.

The end of coal here will help Oregon meet the Obama administration's latest proposal to slash the pollution blamed for global warming. The plan calls on the state to cut its power plant carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2030. Closing Boardman, which gets its coal from the Northern Rockies, will go a long way toward that goal.

But 12 miles north, a port on the Columbia River could represent the region's coal future.

If all goes according to plan forglobal energy conglomerate Ambre Energy Ltd., coal mined

•000

from the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming will still arrive in Boardman by train car.

But instead of feeding the coal plant, it would be shipped to Asia, where an energy-hungry populace is reliant on coal as a cheap power source.

This town in the Columbia Gorge is a real-life example of the gulfbetween Obama's grand strategytoreduce coalemissions and the reality behind that policy: As the U.S. reduces its own carbon pollution, it is exporting more ofitabroad.

Built in 1976, the Boardman Coal Plant burns about 3 million tons of coal each year. The Port of Morrow terminal would ship three times more — nearly 9 mil-

lion tons — out of the country.

Those extra 6 million tons of thermal coal will generate energy somewhere, its carbon emissions joining the same atmosphere.

It just won't be on the U.S. side of the global pollution ledger.

Over the last five years, as the U.S. has cut coal consumption by 195 million tons, about 20 percentofthatcoalhasbeen shipped overseas, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of Energy Department data.

That proportio n isexpected to get larger as the U.S. continues to cleanup itspower plants,boost energy efficiency and move to more pollution-fiee sources of energy such as wind and solar.

The next step was hiring an architect to put their ideas on paper. That blueprint was handed over to Charlie Kissinger Construction, who built a state-of-the-art kitchen, exposed the county's signature Bowlby stone behind the new bar, installed wood floors and exposed the tongue-in-groove ceiling.

Overhead light fixtures made of aluminum tables illuminate plates oflocally grown vegetables, meat paired with beer from Enterprise or wine from Walla Walla, Wash.

"It's all integrated with the experience ofliving here, celebrating a historic building and local food," Curry said.

While the tavern was under renovation and opening the doors to the community many months out, Ferre and Curry asked Lisa Armstrong Roepke to join their venture.

"Peter and Lynne approached me in November oflastyear and said,We feel like you would be a good addition to the team,"'Armstrong Roepke said.

Armstrong Roepke said her restaurant experience and her emphasis on health and wellness as a certified life coach all play into her own passion for food, but running a restaurant is more than that.

"I'm passionate about community, and, to me, Lostine feels like it is the bridge of Wallowa County,"Armstrong

KELLER Continued from Page 1B every employee understands that, the role of the former chief of everything shifts.

The mission of the Chief Talent Scout and Head Coach is simple: develop the talent in the company. This is done by recruiting the right people to the organization, successfully on-boarding them into the culture and placing them in the role where they can have the strongest positive impact.

The coaching responsibility is to take someone who is alreadysuccessfuland assist them to become even more valuable to the company.

Done correctly and consistently, the company will become morevaluable.

Part of the new job description is to prevent loyalty from becoming a liability. This is done by ensuring that each member of the organization is evaluated objectively using clearand established goals.

Businesses can have employees who have been outgrown by the company. This is asad and true fact,and it issometimes overlooked.

the tourists are going to

likeit, butits supported, financed, built andfilled with local people."

— Lynne Curry

Roepke said.

Curry said the main focus of the tavern is to make a place where everyone feels comfortableand afarmer can come in from the field with mud on his boots and order dinner and a beer.

"It's more than having a restaurant, it'sbeing apart of the community. Our main focus is always, 'How do we make a place where everyone feel scomfortable?'We know the tourists are going to like it, but it's supported, financed, built and filled with local people," Curry said.

The Lostine Tavern launched a crowdfunding campaign in the spring on the advice of the Northeast Oregon Economic District. To celebratethe success ofthe campaign, the owners threw apartyforitsinvestorsafew days before bringing back the tavern's signature mealtaco night — in its unofficial reopening.

"Idescribethe tavern as a comfortableplace thatserves familiar food out oflocal ingredients," Ferre said.'We opened the tavern for Wallowa countians, that's who we see as our clients."

due to longevity with the firm, but in the end, the question arises whether the employee is contributing to the level needed by the company at that time or in the future.

A key responsibility of the Chief Talent Scout and Head Coachisto ensure thatthe performanceevaluation processisactually carried out.

Managers and supervisors say the reason for delaying evaluations is because the time required to conduct them properlyis not available.

Often the underlying reason is they do not want to have a difficult conversation with an under-performing employee.

The goal of this orientation change is a more satisfied client base, an aligned organization that knows what the top priorities are, and an organization filled with talented people who work fora growing and profitable organization, thus ensuring employment with a future.
