The Cornet fire produced a massive smoke plume Tuesday afternoon. The fire, started by lightning on Monday, has burned about 5,000 acres. The fire is about 19 miles south of Baker City. This scene is from Bowen Valley just south of Baker City.

Baker County's relatively tranquil fire season turned rowdy Tuesday as three major lightning-spark blazes burned out of control, one of which is threatening a rural neighborhood near the Dooley Mountain Highway. Lightning from a thunderstorm Monday afternoon ignited the fires. On Tuesday, gusty south winds, temperatures in the mid-90s and humidities below 15 percentcombined toinvigorate the blazes. The largest, at an estimated 5,000 acres, is the Cornet fire in the Burnt River Valley about 19 miles south of Baker City. The fire started on private rangeland and had burned about 243 acres as of Tuesday morning. But as wind speeds increased and humidities plummeted later in the day, the fire grew

Morgan and Tammey Rust are sitting in lawn chairs on the freshly poured concrete foundation of their home Tuesday evening, waiting to hear whether they11 have to evacuate their property at 34904 Stices Gulch Road. The narrow gully is in a ponderosa pine forest just west of the Dooley Mountain Highway about 12 miles south of Baker City. There are about 15 homes along the road. On Tuesday afternoon, the Baker County Sheriff's Offtce issued a level one voluntary evacuation notice for all residents of Stices Gulch Road due to the possible threat from the Cornet fire, burning several miles to the south on the opposite side of the divide between the Powder and Burnt rivers. That means residents should be prepared to possibly evacuate, but they are not being asked to do so. The Rusts have been building a house on their Stices Gulch property for a year and a half, and just this morning they finished pouring the concrete foundation on the home. Now, just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, they sit, waiting to hear whether the fire, pushed by south winds, will continue to move toward their home.

Council denies kennel permit By Joshua Dillen ldillen©bakercityherald.com

After nearly a half-hour of testimony and questioning Tuesday night at City Hall, the Baker City Council denied the appeal fiom a Baker City woman who applied for a kennel permitforherseven boxerdogs. SylvannaMartin,of1924 18th St.,gave emotional testimony to councilors. Police Chief Wyn Lohner rejected Martin's application earlier this year. She appealed that decrston. Without a kennel permit, city ordinance allows the ownership of no more than four dogs. 'Three of our family members will have to find new homes," Martin said in tears.

RESIDENTS PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE EVACUATION

A Sumpter city councilor who is the target of a recall petition has admitted to damaging a building in town owned by the lawyer representing plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the city. On July 31, Councilor Toni Thompson damaged the porch of The Nugget restaurant at 220 Mill St., adjacent to Sumpter City Hall, while driving her Chevrolet Suburban. Thompson said she initially didn't realize she had caused any damage to the vacant building with her vehicle. "I gave it a glancing blow," she said."I didn't think I had hit the pole thathard." A week later, after attending a settlement conference related to the lawsuit, Thompson said there was a note on her vehicle from Baker County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Spencer asking her to contact him concerning the damage. Thompson said she called Spencer. Thompson also contacted her insurance company as well as the owners of the building, Martin and Terry Leuenberger, to apologizeforthedamages. "I would have contacted them sooner if I realized I had caused so much damage," she said."I certainly didn't intend to hit the building." Martin Leuenberger is the attorney for the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the city of Sumpter. Leuenberger said Thompson's vehicle had moved the pole supporting the porch roof. He wouldn't give any more details. 'There's an ongoing investigation and I don't want to comment," Leuenberger said. Thompson said she is cooperating with law enforcement and that no charges have been filed against her. Thompson also said Tuesday that she is resigning as a city councilor, although she emphasized that her resignation was not related either to the recall campaign against her, the civil lawsuit or the incident at The Nugget.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 12, 1965 The Baker Community Kindergarten will open its fifteenth year as a co-operative organization in September. It is sponsored by the American Association of University Women and is located in the basement of the city hall. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 12, 1990 Sixteen groups or individuals had filed appeals with the Forest Service as of Friday about the Wallowa-Whitman Forest Plan. The 2,500-pageplan,issued May 4,was mandated by the National Forest Management Act of 1976. The plan, which will govern the 2.3-million-acre national forest, took tens of thousands of rna-hhorr, two national administrations, and two appeals to complete. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald August 12, 2005 Mel Cross used to plead with pilots to attend the annual fly-in at the Baker CityAirport. "Now they call rn," he said. "I get e-mails daily asking 'What's your show about? We're cornin.' " This Saturday is the fourth "Wings Over Baker" fly-in and air show at the Baker CityAirport, sponsored by the Eastern Oregon Pilots Association. Admission is $1 for the entire day (meal prices not included). ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald August 13, 2014 A proposal approved by the Baker City CouncilTuesday night will capitalize on a joint deal with the county to deliver a much-needed upgrade to a section of Pocahontas Road later this summer. The City Council sanctioned an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the county to repave the road between10th Street and the railroad tracks in September. That stretch of Pocahontas has produced complaints from drivers recently. "The county has got a lot of calls on Pocahontas because the travel lanes are in really bad shape," Baker County Commission Chairman FredWarner Jr. said during Tuesday's session at City Hall.

ment will be at Mount Hope Cemetery. A luncheon will be served afterward at St. Francis de Sales Parish Hall. Pat was born on Feb. 27, 1934, to Lesley and Anne Shuck. She followed siblings Donald, Elaine, Billie and Dickie. Pat graduated from Baker High School in 1952 and shortly thereafter she met her husband of 62 years, Tony Williamson. They were engaged on April Fools' Day 1953 and married on Independence Day the same year. They were the last couple to be"shivareed" down Main Street after their wedding at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral. Her greatest love in life was her family. A year after their marriage, she and her husband welcomed twin daughters, Gndy and Sandy. Three years later their son, Dan, arrived. She was extremely proud ofher children and seven grandchildren and the accomplishments they have achieved. Many will remember her working 17 years at Kennedy's Eastside Grocery. There wasn't a kid at Brooklyn School who Mom didn't know and hug daily, family members said. She was always most happy at home, but was welltraveled. Her most memorable trips included visiting family in Thailand and watching her favorite tennis player, Roger Federer, at the U.S. Open in New York. She loved her sunroom where she sat and enjoyed her yard, birds and squirrels, all the time crocheting hot pads by the hundreds. "Everyone who knew Mom has a hot pad," her family sald.

REROIITING + ~ KEYSlcNE XL„. (uveuiTEpmoH3

in minimum WB Clif Bentz, the Ontario Republican who represents Baker County in the Oregon Legislature, is worried about the state's minimum wage. Specifically, Bentz told us when he visited Baker City last week, he's worried that the Legislature will accomplish next year what it failed to do this year — boost the minimum wage to$13.50, a 46-percent increase. Oregon's current minimum wage is$9.25, second-

highest among states (Washington's, at$9.47, is the highest). A $13.50 minimum wage, Bentz believes, would be "terrifically bad news" for Oregon, and in particular for Baker and other rural counties. We share Bentz's concern. A relatively small percentage of Baker County employees earn the minimum wage — about 8.3 percent in early 2014, according to the most recent figures from the Oregon Employment Division. But a much larger number of workers earns less than $13.50, so a large increase in the minimum wage would afect far more businesses than the 8.3-percent figure implies. Bentz said he's talked with many business owners in his wholly rural district, and what he gleaned from his conversations is that these businesses have quite thin profit margins. He's convinced that many of these businesses could not survive without trimming their workforces. If the $13.50 minimum wage results in a lot of rural workers getting pink slips instead of a heky raise, then the endeavor could hardly be described as a success. Businesses can also in theory compensate for a higher minimum wage by raising prices, but this is no panacea. For one thing, many locally owned businesses already struggle to compete against chain stores that have much wider profit margins — forcing those small businesses to boost their prices would make it even harder for them to compete. Perversely, then, considering many advocates of a $13.50 minimum wage claim the move would help narrow the income inequality gap, the$13.50 wage probably would help big corporations more than small business owners. Bentz, despite his fear that legislators will revive the $13.50 minimum wage proposal when they convene in Salem in February, doesn't dismiss the notion that lower-wage workers need help. He suggests an alternative to raising the minimum wage by46 percent— expanding Oregon's

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). That program refunds money to lower-income workers based on their income tax filing. Employees who qualify for the federal EITC can get a check from Oregon amounting to 8 percent of their federal

EITC credit. Bentz acknowledges that the Legislature would have to allocate money in the state budget to pay for an expansion in the state's EITC. He is leading a group of Republican representatives who are studying the issue and plan to outline their proposal during the 2016 Legislative session. We'll reserve judgment on Bentz's idea until we see the details. But as a concept it certainly deserves serious consideration in Salem. As Bentz points out, one significant advantage that an expanded EITC has over a dramatic minimum wage increase is that the former, because it must be paid for in the state budget, spreads the cost among all taxpayers, rather than putting all the financial pressure on a segment of business owners, many of whom, especially in rural areas, are least able to withstand the blow.

owis e t i meto 'xour orests Around Oregon and throughout the West, another fire season is well underway. Overstocked, diseased, and bug-infested forests are atrisk ofthe massive and catastrophic wildfire that clog our air with smoke and threaten our streams. All this while our mills arestarving for a reliable supply of timberand people need jobs.It'sclear the status quo isn't working for our forests, our communities, or our environment. We can do better. The U.S. House has passed a bipartisan bill — the Resilient Federal Forests Act — that would help reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfires and bring active management back to our federal forests. Through active management, we can clean up our forests, prevent these unnaturally large fires, protectour air,and putpeople back to work in our forested communities. Our bill puts into place much needed reformstofederalforestpolicy.For example, the bill repeals the arbitrary and outdated prohibition on harvesting treesover 21 inches in diameter on national forests in Eastern Oregon. "Temporarily" put in place in 1997, this rule still hasn't been removed 20 years later! This flawed, one-size-fits-all rule illustrates just how broken federal forest management has become. The restriction greatly limits forest managers' ability to address site specific needs of the forest on the ground and has only served to further tie up proj-

REP. GREG WALDEN ects in endless appeals and litigation. Our plan also gives the Forest Service greater flexibility to move quickly on projects to reduce the threat of fire around our rural communities, streamlining projects developed through local counties' community wildfire protection plans. Right now, after a fire, the Forest Service is able toreforestlessthan three percent of areas burned. This plan wouldaccelerate theremoval of timberafter afire (to help pay forreplanting), and requires a large percent of thearea impacted be reforested within five years. Just like we do after other natural disasters, we ought to clean up and rebuild after wildfires. As we saw earlier this summer on the Buckskin Fire in Southern Oregon, failing to clean up only leads to future fires in old burn scars full of fallen trees and snag that prove difficult and too dangerous for firefighters. This bill also cuts costs and streamlines rules for timber production on legislation pertaining to Oregon's unique 0&C Lands. The Bureau of Land Management (BLMl recently unveiled new management plans for these lands that would fall short of the needs of local communities for a reli-

able supply of timber to fund essential local services like schools, roads, and law enforcement. The bill tells the BLM to go back to the drawing board, and propose new plans to actually providesustainable timber production for Oregon's rural communities as required by law. Finally, the endless cycle of"fire borrowing" — forcing the federal government to use wildfire prevention funds to pay for fighting fire — is ended under this bill. It fixes how we pay to fight fire by allowing the Forest Service to apply for FEMA disaster funds to pay for firefighting. This treats wildfire as the natural disasters they are, similar to hurricanes or tornados. The Resilient Federal Forests Act will improve the health of our forests and our rural economies. During the last session of Congress, the House twice passed bipartisan legislation Iworked on to reform federal forest policy. The Senate failed to take up forestry legislation. However, with new leadership in that body I'm hopeful that the Senate will take meaningful action on forestry legislation. We cannot let this opportunity pass us by again. Our forested communities have already waited too long. Now is the time to act. Greg Watden, R-Hood River, represents Oregon's Second Congressionrd District, which irrctudes Baker County.

Your views Movingsex offenders notalways a solution In arecent lettertothe editor, Jerry Boyd sounds like he knows all about the predatory sex offender, whose recent move back to Baker City was publicly announced. Boyd's letter was in reactionto the offender's statement in the newspaper lamenting that his family has suffered through the notoriety caused by the public announcement. Boyd pointed out that the statement contained no mea culpaorremorse forhispast offenses. I have no specific knowl-

edge of theoffender in question other than what was contained in the public announcement, and probably Boyd doesn't either. But from my experience supervising &om 15 to 20 sex offenders at a time over my eight-yeartenure as director of the Baker County Parole and Probation Department, Ican provide some general information. Most important statistic: During those eight years not one of the many sex offenders supervised in Baker County committed another offense against a child. While on parole/probation,

every sex offender, among otherconditions,was obliged by theparole board/court to have no contact with minors and to attend sex offender treatment. As part of that treatment the offender was requiredtotake disclosure polygraph exams to come up with a definitive list of all victims. And then had to writeapology lettersto all victims making clear that the offender was fully responsible for the offense against the child. It takes a community to help parole/probation officers supervise sex offenders. NIMBY — Not In

My Backyard — as desired by Boyd, is counterproductive. Local example: A sex offender born and raised in Baker got out of prison and foundan apartment in North Baker. Once aware of his presence, some neighbors pressuredthe landlord to kick him out — "not in our backyard." The only other place he found to rent was near North Baker School in a much less desirable neighborhood, due to proximity to an elementary school and to lackofobservant relatives and neighbors.

With or without this law, no responsible gun owner would ever want to sell a gun to someone if the seller felt uncomfortable about that person. This change helps responsible sellers make better choices about suitable buyers. It makes it somewhat more likely guns are not in the wrong hands. That's a reasonable change.

STATE BRIEFING State to buy Deschutes River acreage PENDLETON iAPlWolves from the Mount Emily pack killed an adult sheep last week on the Umatilla National Forest in Northeastern Oregon, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife has confirmed. It's the second time the pack has preyed on sheep in the area this year, so lethal control ofthe predatorsisan option under the state's wolf management plan. But Russ Morgan, wolf program coordinator for the department in La Grande, said that's not being considered. "I can't stress this enough; the goalofeveryone involved is tostop thatdepredation," Morgan told the East Oregonian newspaper 4ttp:// is.gd/OPAFxB l on Monday. "It's not a goal ito either) kill or don't kill wolves." The emphasis remains on using non-lethal ways to minimize conflicts between wolves and livestock, Morgan said. Forexample,radio-

Eastern Oregon moved to Phase II of the state Wolf Management and Conservation Plan in January after the region's wolf population recordedatleastfourbreeding pairsforthreeconsecutive years. There were at least 77 known wolves statewideatthe end of2014. Part of the change in

regulationslowered the requirement for Department of Fish and Wildlife to consider killing wolves that regularly prey on livestock. It used to take four confirmed attacks within a six-month period to meet the threshold. Now, it takes two confirmed attacks, and there's no time limit. Mount Emily wolves killed three sheep and a guard dog owned by the same producer in June, about five miles away from where the dead ewe was found last week. In both cases, wolf tracks were found and GPS-collar data indicated the pack was in the area. The state lists wolves as endangered east ofhighways 395, 78 and 95, where the majority of the wolf population resides. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will consider a proposal to delist wolves in Eastern Oregon during meetings this fall.

SALEM iAPl —The Oregon Department ofFish and Wildlife is moving to buy more than 10,000 acres to add to a wildlife area on the lower Deschutes River. The state agency will purchase the land, a former ranch, from the Trust for Public Land at a cost of $3 million. It will add to an existing 8,500-acre wildlife area on the river. The parcel is home to herds ofbighorn sheep and mule deer and two streams on the property serve as spawning grounds for salmon and steelhead. Wildlife officials say the purchase will conserve their habitat. The state will use $1.3 million in federal funds and mitigation fees paid by utilities to buy the land, among other sources. The area will be opened to the public to hike, hunt and

fish.

Wallowa County elk poacher sentenced PENDLETON iAPl — A man who poached a bull elk last year has been sentenced to two years of supervised probation.

The East Oregonian reports ihttp J%s.gd/iJwWQw l 23-year-old Skyler Willis is prohibited from possessing firearms and archery equipment. He also had his hunting privileges suspended for three years and must pay more

than $5,000. Willis shot a trophy 6-point bull elk with his bow in September on the Zumwalt Prairie in the Chesnimnus Wildlife Management Unit. Willis reportedly did not have a valid elk tag and had been trespassing when he retrieved the bull elk. The elk antlers, elk meat and bow used to kill the elk were all seized following a three-month investigation into the crime. Willis is to write a letter of apology to the hunters of Oregon and the Nature Conservancy.

Smoke fromDouglasCounty fires drifted through Bend on Monday as U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden spoke ofhow funding wildfire prevention has become a"broken system." 'The bureaucracy has givenshortshrifttoprevention," he said. The Oregon Democrat highlighted the problem at an Association of Oregon Counties meeting held at the Riverhouse Hotel & Convention Center in Bend.

Wyden also spoke about international trade, tourism, transportation and timber harvests in Oregon W yd e n forests. Wyden called the current wildfire situation a"terrible trifecta of forestry," a combination ofhot temperatures, droughtand a"huge fuelload on the forest floor." The U.S. Forest Service and otherfederalagencieshave trouble paying for fighting

wildfires, Wyden said, and in response they borrow from funds meant to prevent fires. He said the practice makes the problem worse. A bill introduced in Congress by Wyden and other senatorsearlierthisyear would end the tendency to poachpreventiondollarsand use them for fighting fires. aWe are going to end fire borrowing and make sure we put the focus ... on prevention," said Wyden, about the Wildfire Disaster Funding Act.

LOCAL 8 REGION

SUMPTER

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash. -

Washington's new apple crop, easily the nation's largest, isprojected tobe 125.2 million 40-pound cartons this season, the third largestinstate history. The Washington Apple Commission last week projected this year's crop will be 10.5 percent lower than last year's record crop. The Washington apple season officially begins on Sept. 1, although the commission said harvest has alreadystarted on some early Golden Delicious and Gala varieties in the state.

About one-third of Washingtonapples are exported to more than 60 countries each year. The commission said applesizes areexpected to return to normal this year, after being a little larger the past two seasons. The larger apples are not as popular on the export market, the commission said. New market opportunities have opened up in China, which agreed in the springto accept all varietiesofapplesfrom the United States. As a result, Washington growers are gearing up for a rapidstartto the season

forGala exports,a variety popular in China. Despite a record crop, the 2014 export season was hampered by several challenges, including the Russian ban on U.S. agricultural exports; the West Coast port slowdown that hit just as the peak export shipment season began in October; therecallofapples from a California packing facility for listeria that provoked panic in Asian markets; and the influence of the strong U.S. dollar that made apples more expensive in other countries.

Threats Manipulation Blackmail Bribes Punishments

The offender assures the child that what is happening is "right", and convinces them that if they tell about the sexual abuse, something terrible will happen for example: • The family will fall apart • Threaten to hurt the child's family or pets • Tell the child their parents won't believe them • The offender may go to prison At the same time, the offender gives the child the impression that they have consented and that they are in a "relationship" with the offender, or even that the child initiated the relationship. In this way offenders shift the blame from themselves and onto the child. The child may then feel responsible for the abuse, and feel to ashamed or scared to tell anyone. Secrecy is the abuser's best tool. Be sure your children know they can feel safe telling you anything.

Continued ~om Page1A "I'm moving outside the city limits and I don't think it's worth it to put the citizens of Sumpter through another recall election," Thompson said. If she moves outside the city limits, Thompson would not be eligible to continue to serveas a city councilor.

Sumpter lawsuit Leuenberger is representing plaintiffs Myron Woodley iformer councilor), Edward Marshall iformer mayor), Connie Marshall iformer councilor), Karen Peters iformer councilor), Patsy Lindrose iformer councilor) and Vernon Hollopeter. Defendants are the City of Sumpter, Former Mayor John Young, Councilor Leanne Woolf, and former Councilors Myrna Clark and Marlene Bork. On Aug. 7 all parties in the lawsuit attended a settlement conference at the Baker County Courthouse with Judge Brian Dretke of Union County presiding. According to Baker County Judge Greg Baxter, Dretke has considerable experience in this type of civil case. Leuenberger declined to comment about the lawsuit. Young, the former mayor, said he and the other defendants have been advised by the city's attorney, Carol Skerjanec of Vale, not to say anything about the case. Skerjanec said morning thatthe defendants believe significant progress was made at Fridays' settlement conference. "They were pleased with the outcome and look forward to continued talks," she said. A trialissetforSept.1618 at 9 a.m. each day at the Courthouse, 1995 Third St. m Baker City. Skerjanec said it is probable that the trial will be postponed due to criminal cases that have been added to the docket. She said there will be continued settlement talksbetween both partiesin the lawsuit. The lawsuit includes several allegations, including thatthe defendants violated Oregon's public meetings law, Sumpter's zoning ordinance and city charter, their oaths of office as councilors, local budget law and the state's public contracting rules by illegally hiring contractors. One of the allegations discussed during a hearing for partial summary judgment on June 16 is that the city is using the fairgrounds as a recreati onalvehiclepark during the Sumpter Flea Markets ithere are three markets each year, during the Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends) even though the propertyisnotzoned forthat purpose. Leuenberger argued that it wasn't fair to the three other RV parks in Sumpter and took business away from them. Baxter — who presided over that hearing — denied the motions for summary judgment in a July 28 decision. In a hearing on June 29, Baxter considered a motion filed by the plaintiffs to compelthe defendants torelease computer records and other documents. Baxter granted that motion on July 17. The defendants were orderedtopay attorney fees and othercostsrelated tothe discovery of documents and information requested of the plaintiffs. "Because the defendants have been unresponsive, untruthful and deceptive in their responses to the Plaintiff's legitimate requests, thesedrasticmeasures are necessary," the motion to compelstated.

"I'm moving outside the city limits and I don't think it's worth it to put thecitizensof Sumpter through another recall election." — Former Sumpter City Councilor Toni Thompson, who resignedTuesday

In his decision, Baxter ruled that the defendants failed to provide discovery and that the plaintiffs followed correct judicial procedurein their attempts to obtain the documents and records requested.

Sumpter public ONcial

recalls A recall petition was filed by Allen Patton and approved by City Recorder Julie McKinney to remove Melissa Findley as Sumpter mayor in early July, followed by several otherrecallpetitions filed July 24. Findley filed a petition seeking to recall Councilor Ada Oakley. Donald McKinnon filed a petition seeking to recall Councilor Leanne Wolf, and Timothy Peters filed a petition seeking to recall Thompson, who, as noted earlier, has since resigned. Baker County Clerk Cindy Carpenter said Monday she has certified the signatures on each of those petitions. On Tuesday, Carpenter saidballotsforthe proposed recalls of Oakley and Wolf will be mailed Aug. 26, and must be returned by Sept. 15. Oakley and Wolfhave submitted statement of justification. Those statements will be included on the recall ballots that will be sent to Sumpter's 132 registered voters. Patton's petition to recall Findley as mayor also had enough valid signatures to qualify. Ballots for Findley's proposedrecallwere mailed Aug. 6 to Sumpter voters and m ust be returned by 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. Postmarks are not valid on ballots returned after the deadline. All recall ballots are required to have the original petitioner' sstatement reasoning why the public official should be recalled as well as the public official's statement of justification as to why he or she should remain in office. Findley's husband, Bob Armbruster — who is also a Sumpter councilor — said his wife is trying to clean up the politics in the small mountain town 28 miles west of Baker City. Armbruster said those who are in favorofrecalling his wife as mayor "have not embracedher attempts at transparency and openness in running the government of Sumpter." In the recall petition seeking to oust Findley, Patton wrote that Findley should be recalledbecause ofwhat he contends is her "failure to abide by City Charter and Ordinances." In Findley's statement of justification in response, she deniesthose allegations. "The individuals initiating and supporting this recall cannot point to one example of my knowing or intentionaldisregard of the City Charter or ordinances," Findley wrote. "I have stumbled, but never intentionally." Findley also wrote that

icityl staff and her fellow councilors — with the exception of her husband — made almostno effortto "show her the ropes," after she became a mayor, new to the position. "If you want to return to a world of cronyism and financial irresponsibility, recall me. If you want truth, fairness, accountability and openness, vote 'NO' in this recall," Findley wrote.

best performance by home teams had been 11-0, accomplished six times — three in the 1800s. The mostrecent occasion was Sept. 16, 1989. Morrison led off the 10th with a bloop double down the left-field line. Brad Miller followed with a single that put runners at the corners. A walk to Mike Zunino set the stage for Jackson, who wonit against reliever T J. McFarland i0-2l. "I don't want to be the guy thatgivesthatup afteragam e like that, playing our hearts out," McFarland said.

SEATTLE — Logan Morrisonhad a prettygood angle fium his vantage point and thought the ball would land fair inside the right-field line. From the dugout, Mariners managerLloyd McClendon didn't know for sure. Runnirg towald first,Austin Jackson wasn't certain, either. An emphatic signal by first base umpire JefFNelson soon let everyone know Jackson had delivered in the clutch. Jackson's bases-loaded single scored Morrison fiom third to give Seattle a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles in 10innings Tuesday night, marking the first time since baseball expanded to 30 dubs that all 15 home teams won on the same day. "I really didn't know," Jackson said."I still didn't know if it was fair even when he called it.... Nobodyreallyreacted. I guess it hit the chalk and the restis history." Nelson Cruz and Mark Trumbo homeml for the Mariners. Cruz extended his hitting streak to a career-high 21 games, matching Troy Tulowitzki for the longest streak in the majors this season, but exited before the seventh with neck spasms. "I think whenyou have a Nelson Cruz sitting there in the middle ofyour lineup, you feel pretty confident goinginto every game," Jackson said. "He's swingmg the bat. We're rallying behind him ... trying to feed off that energy."

Qucksstartcamp

withkevpuestion • Who will replace Heisman winner Marcus Mariota as Oregon's quarterback? ByAnne M. Peterson AP Sports Water

EUGENE — Oregon opened fall camp with ongoing uncertainty about who will replace Marcus Mariota as starting quarterback. Jeff Lockie was the backup last season, but saw little playing time as Mariota led Oregon to the championship game. Now, Lockie is the top playerin camp to succeed Mariota — at least until the anticipated arrival of former Eastern Washington star Vernon Adams. Adams is supposed to join the Ducks as soon as he finishes the last course he needs to graduate. The fikh-year senior can't play for the Ducks until he's got a diploma. He was supposed to arrive in June, but that was pushed back. As the Ducks opened practice on Monday, Adams was still a few days away from completing a final math class. He may join the Ducks this week. Lockie, meanwhile, was making the most of the extra time to make his case, especially when it comes to leading a team he already knows well.

"The main thing I've been focused on is improving myself and doing all the natural leadership things that I can do," he sald. In 19 games, Lockie has completed29 of41passes for 264 yards, one touchdown and one interception. In the spring game, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound junior completed all nine ofhis passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns, leading histeam toa 35-29 victory. "I don't think anyone can fill Marcus' shoes — very few could do that — we're just trying to be ourselves and do what we do best," Lockiesaid ofOregon's quarterback group. There are five quarterbacks on Oregon's roster, minus Adams. Coach Mark Helfrich said the quarterback competition, whatever that looks like in the end, will sortitselfout.He said that ideallyit will be apparent before the opener. "In my opinion you can't say that by August 29th, or whatever the date, you're goingtoname a guy.That has to play out," Helfrich said."It's kind oflike leadership."

Smoke from the Cornet fire roils above the divide between the Burnt and Powder rivers Tuesday afternoon. Bald Mountain is at the far right.

A single-engine tanker plane drops retardant in advance of the Cornet fire Tuesday.

FIRES

PREPARE Continued from Pcge1A The Rusts and their neighbors had just been notified that the fire was one mile from thetop ofthedivide, about four miles from the Rusts' home. "It would be a total loss," Morgan Rust said of the potential loss of his home. His daughter Lindsey, 8, runs around the driveway with the family's three dogs, seemingly unaware ofher parents' worries. Tammey ispregnant,and the Rusts are building the house to accommodate the new addition to their family who will arrive in a few months. Smoke billows overhead, but Morgan says he won't be leaving the property until he sees flames. ''When I see the fire, I'll leave," Morgan said.

S. John Collins/ Baker City Herald

A helicopter heads for the Cornet fire for a water drop Tuesday afternoon. A few houses up the gravel road, Maryanne Fuller has a furrowed brow as she gazes up toward the looming cloud of smoke. "I've got it all packed up,"

Fuller said — her clothes, her dog,her prescription medication. Fuller says she's lived on Stices Gulch Road for 19 years, but this is the first

time she's received an evacuation notice due to fire. "I hope and pray that we can get through this," Fuller said."All we can do is keep watching."

The fir e spread to adjacent public land, including BLM and Forest Service ground, said Jamie Knight, a spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Forestry. The Cornet fire also produced a towering smoke plume that drifted north to Baker City, obscuring the sun and littering town with ash and burned pine needles. About 10 miles east of the Cornet fire, in the Burnt River Canyon between Bridgeport and Durkee, another lightningsparked blaze has burned about 1,500 acres on Windy Ridge, north of the Burnt River. Several fire engines and single-engine air tankers are working on the blaze, along with hand crews and a bulldozer &om the Burnt

River Rangeland ProtectionAssociation,according to the BLM's Vale District, which is overseeing the firefighting effort. The steep, rocky terrain in the Burnt River Canyon complicates the task. aWe're concentrating air resources on Windy Ridge," said Tracy Skerjanec, deputy fire management officer forthe ValeDistrict."It's a tough area for ground crews, so our air crews are working to keep the fire &om getting any larger." The third major blaze is actually a complex of three firesburning near Eagle Creek about 10 miles east of Medical Springs. The Eagle Complex fi res have burned 120 acres, 40 acres and 10 acres, respectively. Four engines and two 10-person crews are fighting those blazes, along with multiple aircraft.

DEAR KEN:Attempting to accommodate my employees, I decided to allow for casual dress from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Two monthsin,Ihaveconcerns. Some female employees are wearing out6'ts displaying considerablymore skin than I feel approprr'ate. I overheard one male employee say, "I wonder what so-and-so will wear tomorrow."I also have some male employees dressing like they are at the lake. Idon't want to be the bad guy, but this is spiraling out of control. Not every employee has dressed inappropriately, butI need to get the genie back in the bottle. — JOHNH. DEAR JOHN: You made a mistake by not being crystal clearwhat appropriate summer dress is for your employees. Employees are loving you because you essentially said anything goes. Your silence is being interpreted as total permission. Only it isn't. Here are three things you need to do: First, you need to find some courage; being popular is not your role. When you see someone you believe is inappropriatel y dressed,you need to call them into your officeimmediately and have a brieftalk thattheirdress that day is not appropriate for your company. If necessary, send them home to change, or provide them with something that addresses your concern ia white lab coat or company shirt). If you do this just once or twice, people will get the message. Second, you need to define what appropriate casual dressisfor allem ployees and for each season. Ask some trusted employees to quickly gatherpictures tovisually display appropriate and inappropriate dress. These pictures will help employees to understand what is acceptable and what is not. Some employees simply do not understand that what they have on is not appropriate in a professi onal work setting. Third,bringin a human resources adviser to help you SeeKeller / Page 2B

Union County U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Executive Director Jennifer Isley reminds producers that assistance is available through the emergency assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and FarmRaised Fish Program for producers who have incurred additional operatingcostsfor transporting water to livestock due to an eligible drought. An eligible drought means that part or all of a county is designated"D3"orhigher asdefined by theU.S.Drought Monitor.The enrollmentdeadline for2015 ELAP assistance is Nov. 1.

Who to call For more information on ELAP and eligible losses from transporting water, contact the Union County FSA office at 541963-4178, Ext. 2. ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible producers oflivestock, honeybees and farmraised fish who have suffered losses because of disease, severe weather, blizzards and wildfires. "Prolonged drought conditions have caused many hardships for producers including increased expenses associated with water transport — equipment, labor and contractedwater transportationcosts, "Isley said.

Adequate livestock watering systems or facilities must have existedbefore thedrought occurred and producers are only eligible if they do not normally transport watertothelivestock. Livestock that were or would have beenin afeedlotarenot eligible for livestock losses resulting from transporting water and ELAP does not cover the cost of the wateritself. "Iencourage livestock producers to contact the Union County FSA to make an appointment to sign up for ELAP and to learn more about eligibility, application and documentation requirements," Isley said.

Howback-to-school shopping can teachkids money lessons B

ack-to-school shopping represents one of the best opportunitiesallyearforstudents to learn a few lessons before they return to the classroom — money lessons, thatis. ''When they reach their high school years, kids have to be preparedtodosome comparison shopping and live within a budget, because they're going off on their own in three to five years and they need to be prepared," said Steve Economides, who with wife Annette heads America's cheapest family, runs moneysmartfamilycom and has written books including'The MoneySmart Family System." aWe're not raising kids; we're raising future adults." Americans will spend $68 billion during this year's back-to-school season, including back-to-college,

because kids care about school shopping, said Patricia A. Seaman, a spokeswoman for the National Endowment for Financial Education. "Back-to-school shopping, like all shopping, is a teachable moment forkidsand money, and they have a vested interest in the outcomes since they are the ones who have to carry the backpacks and wear the clothes they have chosen for the upcoming year," she said. It turns out kids really need those lessons. Despite a high-profile focus on financial literacy in the U.S., teens generally are not excelling when it comes to money knowledge. An international report released last year showed about 18 percent of U.S. 15-year-olds didn't reach a baseline level of proficiency in financial literacy, according to an

~~ GREG KARP SYNDICATEDCQLUMNIST I

according to the National Retail Federation. That's an average of

$630perfam il y for school-agekids and $899 for families with collegebound students. While the back-to-school drill can be stressful for parents, including some money lessons is worthwhile, experts said. 'You don't want to overwhelm your kid, so you have to be sensitive to who your kid is and what they're going to be taking on," said Annette Economides."But if they can handle learning a new system, and you can handle implementing it, it's a great time." Part of the reason it works is

assessment by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.U.S. teens ranked below average and well behind those trom China, Belgium and Estonia. Here are some ideas for schooling your kids about money through

shopping. • Budgeting. A spending plan is fundamental for using money wisely, sothe processdoesn'tstart with a trip to the mall but with a conversation. Take inventory of what they need, typically school supplies and clothing. aWork with your child to make a list of everything he or she wants and needs for school and how much it costs," Seaman said. But mom and dad should have veto power over purchases. • Needs vs. wants. The difference between needs and wants

may be the most important lesson of all for kids. 'You need a backpack; you want one with the Avengers on it," Seaman said."Challenge your children when they say'I want.' Have them find the basic version of what they want and discuss how it will fulfill their needs." It's time to talk about how wanting things is natural, but that some people define themselves by what they buy — and how keeping up with the Joneses is a race they cannot win. For upgrades beyond the functional choices and their budgeted amounts, require the child to contribute their own money. On average, teens this year will contribute$33.27,and preteens will spend $17.57, according to theretail federation.

DEAR KEN: We have a busy operationand employees here are productive. At any given time, it looks like a tornado has wiped out ttu, of6ce:itis a mess. I'm afraid to bring clients or suppliers to visit I am so embarrassed itow it looks. Hoto can I bring this chaos urder control? — CLINT0. DEAR CLINT: Years ago I went to work for a company and was told on the first day that a clean desk policy existed and was enforced. Not knowing what that meant, I asked for clarification. The owner of the company insisted that at the end of the day, every desk was tree of paper,folders,stacks,m agazines and so forth. Any assignments and open projects were to beput into desk drawers or credenzas and retrieved the next business day. It wasn't that he hated clutter and he wasn't a control treak; he knew everyone was working hard and had a lot going on. What he wanted was a presentation-ready facility where everyone was proud to work. I recommend that you establish the same kind of policy. While you may get some initial resistance, it won't take long for people to understand and accept your goal. Morale will improve too.
