Even as the biggest wildfire in Baker County history still smolders, local ranchers are donating dozens of tons of hay to their counterparts in Grant County.

And local volunteers say they're ready to help Baker County cattle operations as well.

"I've donated hay to John Day, and I'm willing to donate to locals as well," said Mike Williams, a Baker Valley rancher who is coordinating the hay donation effort in the valley.

Scorched trees and the remants of outbuildings line a road in Stices Gulch south of Baker City.

As the Cornet fire advanced toward her Stices Gulch home on Aug. 12, Julie Jayo had no sense ofhow fast she was moving.

"I lost all track of time," Jayo said Monday."It was one big blur."

During that blur, her family packed pictures, family heirlooms and important documents from their home of five years into their trailer and moved to a trailer park in Baker City.

Their four dogs went to a friend's house while their cat was housed at Baker Veterinary Clinic.

For the next several days, as the lightning-sparked fire continued to burn, eventually joining with the Windy Ridge fire to the east to form the biggest blaze in Baker County history, Jayo and her husband, Joey, could only wonder about the fate of their home.

"If it's gone we'll move the trailer here and figure out what to do," she sald.

The Jayos' house survived the inferno that tore through the Stices Gulch area the evening of Aug. 13.

Flames destroyed two homes and several outbuildings in the gulch about 12 miles south of Baker City.

There are about 15 homes in the forested area, which is just west of the Dooley Mountain Highway.

The Jayos and their neighbors returned to homes surrounded by a

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 26, 1965 The Baker County Assessor's office is in compliance with the state law and with the State Tax Commission standards in every respect, with the exception of range land value, CountyAssessor Charles Smith said today.

Smith issued the statement in response to inquiries received as a result of a news story appearing in the Wednesday issue of the Democrat-Herald. In that story from Salem, theTax Commission warned Smith along with eight other assessors that their property appraisal work is lagging.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 27, 1990 An 8-year-old Baker City youth found more than $1,000 incash and checksnear hishomeThursday afternoon and brought it to his parents who turned it into police.

Corey Lee Bauer, 2121 Fourth St., Baker City, son of Robert and Robin Bauer, found the money in an alley.

It was a bank deposit from the Granite Store in Granite.

Cash and checks were found scattered about, police said.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald August 26, 2005 Oregon State Police are searching for the driver of a car found upside down in the Powder River southwest of Baker City on Monday morning.

But that driver's most pressing problem might not be replacing the red1992Acura coupe that splashed into the river.

He might be in jail, for one thing.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald August 27, 2014 It appears that at least one write-in candidate will be elected to the Baker City Council Nov. 4.

That's because just three people have qualified for the ballot, which will include four openings.

City Recorder Luke Yeaton said this morning that three candidates qualified for the ballot before the deadline at 5 p.m. Tuesday: Benjamin Merrill, R. MackAugenfeld and James Thomas.

With fewer candidates than vacancies, the qualified person who receives the most write-in votes will also be elected.

CouncilOKsregairmoneyforSam-0 Swim Center, uailRillge GolfCourse

By Joshua Diiien ldillen©bakercityherald.com

Money for repairs at Sam0 Swim Center and Quail Ridge Golf Course were the main topics at Tuesday night's Baker City Council meeting.

Public Works Director Michelle Owen started the discussion about Sam-O. The city can't afford to do all the work needed, which includes replacing the pool's

sand filters i$20,000l and showers i$10,000l, pool resurfacing i$60,000l and replacement of the heating

system i$75,000l.

The city has also applied

for a $60,000 grant.

Because doing all the work this year isn't an option, the city's newly formed Sam-0 Swim Center Committee suggested the sand filter replacement as the highestpriority because if the filters stop working the pool has to be closed.

Committee Chairman Andrew Bryan addressed the Council and explained thecommittee'sproposed plans to prioritize the pool's repairs.

Bryan said if the Council approvesthe committee's plan, the sand filters and resurfacing would be completed this fiscal year.

Bryan said that tentatively the pool would be closed Sept.7forgeneralrepairs, for three weeks in October for the sand filter replacement, and possibly after springbreak to resurface the

pool. ''We recognize that this doesnot address allofthe issues that the pool may have," he said.

He talked about the possibility of replacing the heat-

ing system by September 2016 if thatcould budgeted and pointed out that a new heating system will save an estimated $16,000 annually in energy costs.

In addition to approval to move forward with the committee's plans, Owen asked if the Council would approve more money for the sand filter replacement because

with the design plan, Bill Tiedemann, Golf Course supervisor, said.

He said the grant would probably not happen if the Council did not approve the repair payment. ''We absolutely lose the matching Leo Adler grant," he said. Without the city match, Adler is done.

Salmonfi shing starts Sept.1 on Snake ENTERPRISE — Fishing season for hatchery fall chinook salmon will start Sept. 1 on the Snake River.

The river will be open from the Oregon/Washington border upstream to the deadline below Hells Canyon Dam. The season will continue until Oct. 31, unless the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife iODFWl announces an earlier closure.

The reach of river from Cliff Mountain Rapid upstream to Hells Canyon Dam will remain open until Nov. 17.

The daily bag limit will be six adipose fin-clipped chinook salmon. Anglers can also keep an unlimited number of fin-clipped jack chinook. Chinook jacks are salmon between 15 and 24 inches long.

"Fall chinook runs in the Snake River have been impressive in recent years," said Kyle Bratcher, ODFW fish biologist in Enterprise.'We expect fewer fish than lastyear,however we're stillprojecting a very strong run topping 35,000 fish into the Snake River Basin."

In recent years, more and more Oregon anglers have discoveredthisproductivefishery thanks to liberalbag limits and a long season, according to ODFW. ''With strong runs, this fishery has provided some fantasticopportunitiesforNortheast Oregon anglers totake home a cooler full ofhatchery fish," Bratcher said.

Only barbless hooks may be used on this stretch of the Snake River, and anglers should consult the 2015 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations for other rules that may apply.

Snake River fall Chinook migrate more than 800 miles and pass eight mainstream dams to reach Hells Canyon, the farthest any salmon will travel in Oregon.

re Ons r ar CSCIVCS B Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

Oregon's Democratic and Republican parties don't show much restraint when taking on the growing power of the Independent Party of Oregon.

There was an egregious example earlier this year.

House Bill 3500 would have formed a task force to look at how primaries should work. When state Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, protested that the bill unfairly excluded suKcient representation for the Independent Party, the leadership of the Democratic Party took action. State Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, temporarily removed her from a committee to ensure the bill would pass. When she leR the room, he voted in her place in support of the bill. He then suggested that she carry the bill on the floor to hoots oflaughter on the committee.

That's a lowly moment for Oregon's two parties.

The two parties also released a poll suggesting Independent Party members don't understand their membership in the party. That's a polite way for the Democratic and Republican parties to call the Independent Party a bunch of fools.

The latest theme from the Democratic and Republican parties is that they don't like the Independent Party's structure. Devlin reinforced that message when he visited The Bulletin's editorial board recently.

Oregon law states, 'Each political party by rule shall insure (sic) the widest and fairest representation of party members in the party organization and activities." The Independent Party has been criticized because it has had a few fixed volunteers leading the organization. We can't answer whether the structure of the party needs to be changed to comply with Oregon law.

But consider this: The Independent Party allows all members to participate in platform development.

In the Democratic and Republican parties, that debate is more tightly controlled by precinct committee persons. And there are other examples. So who is the widest and fairest of them all?

The Democratic and Republican parties may cloak their critique of the Independent Party in fairness, but they seem more interested in ensuring third parties in Oregon never get a chance with voters.

a a tsoncimatec an e The Republican talking point on climate change is evolving, thankfully, from"I'm nota scientist"to "Let'ssolve it through innovation." That's good news for the nation and generations of Americans to come. After all, the first step to solving a problem is to admit that you have one, and that's now happening.

Jeb Bush, the presumptive candidate to beatfortheRepublican presidential nomination, said last month, "Ultimately, there's going to be a person in a garage somewhere that's going to come up with a disruptive technology that's goingtosolvethese problems, and I think markets need to be respected in this regard."

Another candidate, Carly Fiorina, offered a similar observation: "I think the answer to this problem is innovation, not regulation."

It's a very nuanced position. In one breath, they acknowledge there's a problem we must solve and attack the regulatory solution currently leaving the station. There's just one problem: Suggesting that innovation without market reform will solve climate change is more wishful thinking than a serious policy proposal.

The truth is that we cannot afford to w ait for"a person in agarage" tocome up with a magic bullet. The technologies that can wean society off polluting fuels already exist. What we need is the economic incentive — money talks — to bringthosetechnologiestoscale.

To be sure, there are technologies yet to be invented that will have a gamechanging impact on our ability to undo the damage accrued from burning fossil fuels for the past two centuries. But investors are more likely to fund the researchand development for these new technologies if they are assured a market that values them and thus a

FIRES CONTINUE TO AFFECT HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES

Wildfires around Oregon this summer have left people without homes and in need of aid.

As they begin to rebuild, what might help them the most varies, said Paula Fasano Negele, communications director for the American Red Cross Cascades Region, based in Portland.

"Every situation is different," she said.

In GrantCounty,where the Canyon Creek Complex Fire destroyed 39 homes, the Grant County Fairgrounds remains a clearinghouse for donations."It's like a warehouse," Fasano Negele said.

What donations are needed changes daily, so people looking to donate should call ahead to the fairgrounds' number,said Mary Weaver, Grant County Fairgrounds manager.

"It'sgreatto donate,but we need to donate what the families need," she said.

Initially the need was for hygiene products, such as soaps and shampoos. Now the need is for rebuilding

supplies. She said people who lost their homes could use chainsaws to cut burned treesscattered on their properties, and thereis abig need for tools.

"Everybody lost their shops, so they have lost their tools," she said.

The Fairgrounds Relief

HOW TO HELP

Volunteer Dale Rininger of John Day stocks shelves with donated items for victims of Canyon Creek Complex fire.

Evacuees and people who have lost their homes to the fire picked up basic supplies at the donation center at the Grant County Fairgrounds.

Center — the volunteer group organizing all the donations in John Dayposted a wish list Sunday on its Facebook account. Weaver said the list is updated daily, and she expects the center to be open for another three weeks.

Social media is how many groups spread the word of what they are looking for in donations, said Alison Green, program director for Project W ildfire in Bend.Th eorganization guides fire planning and mitigation in Deschutes County.

To give people direction as they consider what they might donate to a wildfire victim, Green said to think about what gives comfort during a stressful time.

"I know if it was me, I

would want the stufF I could use right now," Green said.

On the Warm Springs Indian Reservation — where the County Line 2 Fire destroyed two occupied homes and damaged another home enough to make it unlivable— thecallfordonated items is done, said Doug Epperson, spokesman for the interagency team managing the fire.

Having been busy over the past month, the Red Cross in Oregon could also benefit from cash support, Fasano On Aug. 12, the Red Cross opened shelter in Warm Springs in response to the County Line 2 and another shelter in Baker City for a the Cornet and Windy Ridge fires. The next day it opened

a third shelter in Grant County in response to the Canyon Creek Complex Fire.

"Without money in our coffers, if you will, we would not be ableto dothat,"she said.

Wind proved to be a foe for firefighters Tuesday in their battle against the Eagle Complex fire 10 miles east of Medical Springs.

Winds from the south and southeast pushed the blaze north.

'There was a little fire activity toward the north," said Chris Barth, a public information officer for the Eagle Complex.

This activity helped the blaze, the most active of the lightning-sparked fires still burning in Baker County, expand by 1,383 acres to 10,965 acres.

The good news is that the fires are now 7 percent contained, up from 5 percent on Sunday. Another plus is that the fires have not been growing dramatically.

'There have not been any big runs," Barth said.

Much of the firefighters' efforts continue to be focused on protecting structures threatened by the fires. Firefighters are watering down cabins and other structures in the fire area and digging containment lines around them.

Only one structure has been lost to the Eagle Complex fires to date.

Tuesday firefighters conducted a small burnout in the north end of the East Eagle Creek area. The controlled fires were lit to consume fuels. ''We want to eliminate the fires' potential to grow," Barth explained.

Two helicopters from the Oregon National Guard, a Chinookand a Blackhawk, were used to drop water and retardant on the fires. A tanker plane was also flown over the fire to drop retardant on Tuesday.

Level 2 evacuation notices remain in effect for a portion of the area near the Eagle Complex fires. ¹ tices were issued Aug. 11 for those living in cabins and structures on Forest Service Road 77 in the Bennett Peak area, the main Eagle area and Tamarack Campground.

Peoplereceiving Level2 noticesare expected to be ready to evacuate immediately.

A Level 3 evacuation notice was issued Aug. 16 for people living in structures in the East Eagle Creek area.

Everyone receiving a Level 3 notice had to evacuate immediately.

A total of 321 firefighters are now on the Eagle Complex fires. The blazes are being fought by Rocky Mountain Team Black, a Type 2 interagency management team.

tate wantsto change rulesforhemy yroduction

By Jeff Bamard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS —A state agriculture official said Tuesday that Oregon's hemp industry is not turning out the way lawmakers envisioned, so the department will recommend changes to the law regulating how it is grown.

The law authorizing industrial hemp production in Oregon was written to regulate it as an agricultural crop, with large fields of densely planted hemp grown forfi ber,seed and oil,said Lindsay Eng, who oversees the hemp program for the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

Instead, the nine operations inspected by the department this year seem more interested in producing

compounds known as CBDs, which don't get people high, but arebelieved to have medical benefits. They are also found in marijuana.

As a result, Eng says the current law does not work well to regulate growers, who are growing small plots, sometimes in greenhouses, with the emphasis on producing buds that contain the CBDs. "I imagine there will be some changes in the next year or two," she said.'We definitely will have some recommendations to either shore up definitions or the intent. There is not a whole lot we can do through rulemaking."

Hemp is related toma rijuana, but it contains very low levels of the compound known as THC, which gets

people high. It has a long historyas an agriculturalcrop, but it was outlawed along with marijuana in 1937. The Legislature authorized hemp production in 2009, but the first permits were not issued until this year.

Meanwhile, the department suspended issuing new hemp permitson Monday.

Eng said it was largely becauseofpracticalconsiderations. No one could start a crop this year, and the current three-year permits change to one-year permits starting Jan. 1.

The department has issued 13 permits for growing industrial hemp around the state, but only nine growers actually produced a crop.

Tests have shown they all met the standards for low values of THC.

HealthAuthoritysaysmodile medicalmariiuana cartillegal PORTLAND iAPl — It didn't take long for an entrepreneur to combine two of Portland's favorite things: marijuana and food carts.

But state officials aren't thrilled. The Oregon Health Authority on Monday said the Smoke Buddy, a mobile cart selling medical marijuana, is illegal.

The agency's spokesman, Jonathan Modie, said operating a mobile service or a medicine delivery service is not allowed under the state dispensary rules. The prohibition includes sales at farmers markets, drive-thru windows and mobile dispensaries.

According to Modie, a facility must operate at a particular location to be registered. And any transfer of marijuana to or fiom a dispensarymust takeplaceattheregistered address.

Needless to say, Modie said, the Smoke Buddy isn'tregistered with the state dispensary program.

And since it's notregistered, he said, the Health Authority has no power to cite it, fine it or shut it down, he said.

"It's a law enforcementissue," said Modie, adding that the state has passed on information about the marijuana cart to city officials.

Sgt. Pete Simpson, a Portland police spokesman, said if the mobile cart has more than one ounce of marijuana on board, it would be a violation of state law and the operator could be arrestedorissued a citation fora misdemeanor.

"Practically speaking though," Simpson said, "unless we get a neighborhood complaint and an offi ceriscalledtothe scene,itisnotsom ethingwe11devote resourcestoaddress."

The SmokeBuddy has been operating for about a week, visiting several Portland neighborhoods.

According to The Oregonian 4ttpl/bit. ly/1V5gDGb l, the mobile cart was built by Portland residents Larry and Jessica, who declined to give their surnames. The couple says they don't sell the marijuana — they give it away for fiee — but customers can make donations for the waterproof containers in which the marijuana is packaged.

BEIJING — Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin set up the sequel to their world championship sprint showdown on Wednesday, both winning their semifinal heats in the 200 meters.

After Bolt edged the American by.01 second in Sunday's 100 final, he is now running in his favored race and seeking his record 10th world title overall.

Bolt was grinning widely after crossing in 19.95 seconds, coasting for about 60 meters and checking the stadium screens high up in the stands of the Bird's Nest to see if someone could come close. As usual, none did.

In the previous semifinal heat, Gatlin, unbeaten over two years in the 200, ran 19.87 seconds but worked a little longer than Bolt before easing up.

and hit her. Boise State said that was not reported to school officials, but the university has requested transcripts of the woman's testimony and will begin a Title IX inquiry into the incident.

Ukwuachu started 12 games at defensive end at Boise State in 2012, but was dismissed by then-coach Chris Petersen fiom the team in spring of 2013 for unspecified disciplinary reasons.

He transferred to Baylorand satout the 2013 season as required by NCAA rules.

He did not play in 2014 either.

Last week he was sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years of probation for sexually assaulting a Baylor women's soccer player in 2014.Baylorpoliceinvestigated thecase and did not move forward with it. Local authorities eventually decided to charge Ukwuachu.

Coach Art Briles has drawn scrutiny for allowing Ukwuachu to transfer into his program, and Baylor has been criticized by local prosecutors for its investigation.

The Cornet fire destroyed several cars when it swept through Stices Gulch on Aug. 13.

STICES Continued ~om Page1A "I'm glad we pulled the trigger on the state conflagration when we did because local resources were spent — over extended," said Baker County Fire Division Manager Gary Timm.

He took state structure operations personnel on a tour of Stices Gulch even as local firefighters were already preparing homes in the area for the impending fire storm. ''We saw conditions changing right in kont of our eyes.

As we left there were trees torching. That was about 3 ip.m. on Aug. 13l,s Timm said.

He said that local firefighting agencies that were already fighting the blaze and preparingthestructuresfor the impending inferno and the state conflagration team did as much work as it could beforeitwastoodangerousto for the firefighters to stay. ''We just integrated with ithe state team),"Timm said.

"All of the equipment got placed and plumbed. With the fuelloadingand only onew ay out, it was what we call'pull and go.

That equipment consisted ofportablewaterreservoirs with pumps that powered sprinklers that wetted the area around the houses.

Timm said the idea is to put out any embers that may ignite fuels near the homes.

Without those precautions, more houses and structures would have been destroyed, Tlnlnl Sald.

'There's structures still

SticesGulch:A case study in fire protection Property owners in Stices Gulch had been preparing for the Cornet fire for more than a decade.

For something like it, anyway.

You needn't be a fire expert to recognize the risk.

The homes along the gravel road that runs through the narrow gulch are literally surrounded by a forest. It's mainly ponderosa pine, with some firs on the north- and east-facing slopes.

Before the Cornet fire raged into the gulch on Aug. 13, the residents' closest call came in late July1989 when the Dooley Mountain fire, which eventually burned 20,000 acres on the east side of Highway 245, crossed the highway andburned ashortdistance down the gulch.

No homes were lost then.

But the 1989 fire, along with a new focus by local, state and federal agencies on the dangerous situations inherent when people build homes in wildfire country, prompted a major effort to reduce the risk in Stices Gulch.

Starting around 2000, homeowners strived to create "defensible spaces" around their homes. They raked pine needles, trimmed low-hanging pine branches and in general got rid of as much easily burned stuff as they could.

Several residents received financial aid through the National Fire Plan. The grants were modest — from $200 to $580 per property — but the effects were substantial.

"Most places up here are really getting tidied up," Stices Gulch resident Sharon Bowen said in an April 2005 interview. "I think we're all mindful of fire."

The work wasn't limited to private property.

Both the Forest Service and BLM, which manage the public forests that border Stices Gulch on the west, east and south, thinned trees and brush starting around 2004.

there because of the hard work of all of the agencies involved," he said.

Creatinga"defensible space" around a home — an areaclearofeasily combustible material — can spare a house kom even a fastm oving fi re.

That was a definite contributor to the Jayos' house surviving the fire.

'There's no doubt that their place was easy to defend," Tlnlnl Sald.

Jayo said her family has been clearing their land to createa defensible spacefor

many years.

"The fi remen told usour placelooked pretty defendable," she said."But when you see the fire you don't know how that's possible."

Timm said the results in Stices Gulch illustrate the value of the kinds of work the Jayos and other residents have done.

"Those that needed more work that we didn't have time to gettoo,m aybe suffered kom that,"Timm said."In the aftermath of ithese fires) I hate to say it, but sometimes events like this bring reality to the discussion. We're not out of fire season yet, he said.

Stices Gulch is hardly unique, either.

There are several other areas in Baker County in what fire managers call the "wildland-urban interface"where residences are within, or adjacent to,forests.

Timm said homes in those areasarevulnerableto fi re.

He continues to encourage property owners to take action to reduce that threat by talking with officials kom the Oregon Department of Forestry and other agencies that have detailed descriptions ofhow to clear a defensible space.

The Cornet/Windy Ridge Fireis80percent contained and has not grown kom its current size of 103,887 acres for several days.

Hot spots remain within the fire's perimeter, however.

"There's going to be smoke until the snow flies,"Timm said."I wouldn't be surprised if there's smoke next spring."

As smoke continues to blanket Baker City and fires burn out of control in the Wallowa Mountains and elsewhere, local businesses have seen a shik in their customer base.

Some have prospered, others have suffered.

Carrie Folkman, owner of Mountain View RV Park, said she's had just a small number ofreservation cancellations due to fires.

"But not nearly what I expected," Folkman said."Most of the Northwest is like this so it's not like it's just Baker City."

Her customers' primary concerns have had to do with road closures.

'They were confused about the accessibility ofthe highways," Folkman said.'They heard the roads were closed, but what they didn't know is they were only closed for a

Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett is scheduled to meet with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack Thursday in Portland to discuss the recent wildires and the efFortto stave ofFfederalprotection forsage f grouse.

The session will also include commissioners kom the three counties that have the vast majority of Oregon's sage grouse habitat: Malheur, Harney and Lake.

Another issue on the discussion agenda will be federal money for recovery work on scorched terrain across Baker County, Benn ett Bennett said.

"If you keep putting money into response, we won't have enough for fire recovery," he said.

Bennettsaid recovery efFortstorejuvenate charred areas of the county are critical for the future.

"Partofthe processisrecovery, "hesaid.

Bennett is one of many local politicians across the West who are well-qualified to discuss the effects of the ongoing fire season.

Bennett said his ranch east of Unity was threatened by the Eldorado fire last week.

He said he was forced to make a quick transition from helping to manage the blazes at the county level to striving to save his own home kom the flames.

"I went from being fully engaged to coming home to my home and seeing my wife and her best kiend loading stufF into the car," Bennett said."My wife was evacuating."

Bennett said he and his son utilized the big blades of bulldozers to build fire lines around his property. He also said he took in cattle from other ranchers as the flames continued to roll across the land.

Bennett said a confluence of factors — drought, high fuel loads and wind — conspired.

"I think it is the largest disaster that Baker County experienced," he said.

Hay is loaded on a Gary SmithTrucking semiTuesday afternoon, ready to be hauled to Grant County to aid ranchers affected by the Canyon Complex fire.

HAY Continued ~om Page1A Williams gotinvolved when he saw a Facebook post about the r Hay for John Day"campaign.

Jim Hamsher of Grant Countyis spearheading that effort to gather hay for cattle displaced by the Canyon Creek complex, the blaze thathas destmyed 39 homes near Canyon City.

"Our goal was to replace the hay that got burned," Hamsher said.

But as the file grew and more livestock had to be moved, it became dear that Grant Countyranchers needed the hay immediately.

Williams said Baker Valleyranchers have donated 120 tons ofhay.

Mark and Craig Ward of Ward Ranches donated the use of their potato cellar properlyjust north of Baker City to stack the hay while it awaits shipment.

Gary Smith Trucking of Baker Citydonated the use ofits trucks to haul the hay to John Day. Williams said he's been impressed bythe generosity oflocal ranchers.

"I was hoping for a truckload, or two tops," he said Tuesday.

Jacob Bingham, president of the Baker County Livestock Association, said association members talked about the need to donate hay to Baker Countyranchers during their last meeting. ''We came to the consensus that there's a dire need in John Day, so a lot of our resources are headed that way," Bingham sald.

"People have September and October pastures that they have to go to now before the snow flies," Bingham said."And they11 start needing hay sooner."

Bingham said therearenohardnumbers forhow many cattle were killed in the Cornet/Windy Ridge fire, or how to gauge the extent of the damage to grazingland.

Firefighting resources have been exhausted by the wildfires that have burned through the region this summer.

"Even a small event can become catastrophic at this point," Bennett sald.

And fewer firefighters will be available soon as college-age firefighters return to school and local volunteers return to work.

'The rurals have been the heroes of the summer," Bennett said.'They have just been out there. But at some point they have to go back to their jobs or finish haying and doing their fall work if they're ranchers."

He urged everyone to be"collectivelycareful"toprotectforestlands as hunting season begins.

AUCTION Continued from Page1A Last year's final sale total reached

$260,000 after the add-on money was collected, Kellar said. This year's final is expectedtoriseto m orethan $275,000.

The 151 animals sold at the 2015 auction also topped last year's 129, Kellar said.

The number of market swine was up from 50 last year to 68 this year. But prices

were down from $4.46 a year ago to $3.84 this year.

"I was really surprised on the number of pigs we ended up having," Kellar said.

Kids were finding it diKcult to acquire pigsfortheir market hog projects,shesaid, which comes as no surprise in cattle country. Baker County has no pig producers, she sald.

The profit margin and time investment betweenraising pigsand raising steers might be part of the explanation for the pig preference, Kellar said.

Steers are usually a nine-month-long project, she said. And during that time span, the animals can consume a costly one ton of grain or more.

Kellar attributed the increased number of participants to an influx of new beginner 4-H members. ''We had quite a few new kids in the program in the junior and junior-novice divisions,"she said.

Kaiden Dalke produced the grand champion market swine and Joshua Polkowske won reserve grand champion.

Forty-one market steers brought an average of $3.25 perpound atthisyear'sauction.Last year,37 steerssold foran average

of $3.40 per pound.

Quinn Coomerwon grand champion with his steer and reserve grand champion went to Bryson Thomas.

Twenty-four lambs sold for an average of $6.04 per pound this year. Last year, 31 lambs wereauctioned for an average of

price of $5.59 per pound.

Kristin Cantrell took grand champion in the market goat division. Hailey Zikmund won reserve grand champion.

Four pens of three market rabbits each went for an average of $23 per pound iwith most pens of three weighing less than 16 pounds, Kellar said). Last year two pens of threemarket rabbitswent foran average of

$20 per pound.

Meagan Toolwon grand champion with her rabbits. Darby Lahaug won reserve grand champion.

The auction is organized annually by the nonprofit sale committee. In addition to the co-treasurers, the committee includes Randy Guyer, Martin Arritola, Kevin Bell, John Belveal, Seth Bingham, Cheryl Buchanan, Janice Cowan, Ross Fritz, Deryl Leggett, Adam Robb and Cliff Schoeningh.

Private property owners in the orange-shaded areas are eligible for a federal program designed to protect sage grouse habitat while giving landowners assurance that they won't be affected if the bird is listed as threatened or endangered.

BENNETT Continued ~om Page7A Bennett said another contributing factor is that the entire firefighting systemlocal, state and federal — was already stretched to its limits when the fires erupted in Baker CountyAug. 10.

"The system was already stressed. There just wasn't any more resources," he said.

"So we were already extremely vulnerable."

Fire suppression helicopters, used to utilizing area stockponds forw ater,also faced difficulties he said.

"A lot of those stock ponds were dry," Bennett said.

With the county already in a drought disaster, Bennett said future success will hinge on close cooperation between different levels of government. ''We are meeting constantly with other agencies," he said.

Bennett said the fire response system worked, but quickly faced nearly unprecedented resource challenges.

"It wasn't a failure of the system. But pretty soon, the system getsstressed,"he said.

Aug. 28 deadline for ranchers to apply for sage grouseprogram PORTLAND — Friday is the deadline for ranchers to apply for federal aid designed to help them protect sage grouse habitat while receiving assurance they won't be affected should the bird be listed as threatened or endangered.

The aid program is associated with the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) system.

Ranchers who enroll in the CCAA are exempted from potential effects of a sage grouse listing. In exchange, they must take certain steps to preserve sage grouse habitat on their lands.

The Aug. 28 deadline is for ranchers to apply for financial and technical assistance through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to help them take those steps.

"NRCS conservation programs give landowners the tools and financial assistance they need to successfully implement the conservation measures identified in their site-specific plans," said Kevin Conroy, NRCS basin team leader. "Together, NRCS and its partners will work closely with private landowners to plan and design conservation treatments to improve sage grouse habitat and overall rangeland health."

Interested ranchers should submit applications at the Baker City USDA Service Center, 3990 Midway Drive.

More information is available by calling Misty Bennett, Baker County district conservationist for the NRCS, at 541523-7121 or by email at Misty.Bennett@or.usda.gov To be eligible, ranchers must own property within sage grousehabitat,asshown on the map above.

• Water transfer printing process puts design on a variety of items

By Kelly Ducote WesCom News Servrce

Eastern Oregon's guns have neverlooked so interesting thanks to a duo who submerged themselves in the hydrographics business.

Rick Duckett and fiiend Deva Williams are bringing everyday objects to another level in their La Grande shop, where they specialize in water transfer printing.

Over a year ago, Duckett was looking into airbrushing a rifle when he stumbled upon hydrographics, arelatively new process for customizing guns, bows and just about anything else you can think of.

"If it can be painted and dipped in water, it can be hydrodipped," Duckett says.

Before they knew it, Duckett and Williams were en route to Florida for a two-day training in the process.

"It was quite an adventure," Duckett said.

That was in June 2014. By November they had set up shop under the name Duckett's Hydrographics. Since then, they have customized everything &om rifle scopes to Xbox and PlayStation controllers to sculls.

"There's a huge variety in

DEAR DONALD: What is missing &om your company is leadership. You have failed to provide your employees with the basic tools that they need to dotheirjobs.

Your role is to help your employees succeed. When they succeed, your company makes money.When they don't get what they need, they will become disagreeable with each other, because you allow it.

Those lining up to bring theseissues to your attentionarereally askingfor the ground rules ipolicies and procedures) to be created and enforced.

I doubt your competition would tolerate people arriving late to work. This cannot be an isolated incident yet late arriving employees remain onyour payroll .W hy do you permit it?

Your good employees are seething with anger. You should thank them, not complain that they want to talk to you about what is taking place. They are trying, unsuccessfully so far, to get your attention to the fact that there some serious issues you have failed to address. They want you to do something about the mess you allow so they can get on with helping you make money.

If you don't do something about it, the only people likely to remain will be the ones your competition won't hire.

Fulferofferscraniosacral therapy, and what she calls aalrmative touch" therapy, which is therapeutic massage coupled with positive alrmations and visualizations and is especially geared toward survivors of trauma.

"I've experienced trauma in the past, and I've found it to be veryeffective asaway of healing," Fulfer said.

OReilley is trained in Bowen therapy, a type of massage that works in the meridians of the body and involves strumming of the tendons.

She is apractitionerof aura-soma, which is a type of color therapy in which the client choosescolorsthathe or she likes and dislikes, and receives healing through the energy, scent, and light of the colors.

OReilley also does reiki, a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy through touch. And she is a

O'Reilley has 45 years of experience doing body work, and Fulfer has been doing it

Both moved to Baker City within the past few months — Fulfer from Seattle, O'Reilley from Bend.

"I came to Baker City for the people, for the beautyand the energy of the Earth is amazing here," OReilley said.

Going f'mm massaging corporateexecutives in Seattle to the cowboys of Northeastern Oregon has been an interesting change for Fulfer.

"I had to get to know all the terms, like I didn't know what calving was," Fulfer jokes."The clients are different,but peopleare peopleand they have the same emotional need."

Both practitioners focus on the idea of what they call connecting the dots of the selfthe physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies all functioning as a unit.

'You're connected to the human spirit, standing and reading their body," O'Reilley said. 'Touch is an unspoken love, if you are able to receive it."

By Julie Pace WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is the man in the middle, caught between the White House aspirati ons oftwoofhisclosest advisers: Vice PresidentJoe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

For months, White House officials expected Clinton to be the Democratic nominee in the 2016 election. Some of Obama's top political advisers moved to New York to run hercampaign and Obama appeared to give his tacit approval, saying she would be an"excellent president."

But that bet on Clinton suddenly looks less certain.

With Biden weighing his own presidential run more seriously amid signs of weakness in Clinton's campaign, the White H ousefacestheprospectofa family feud over who will become heir to Obama's legacy.

"Certainly he's got something at stake here,"White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday of Obama's interestin the 2016 election.

officials were irked byrevelations that Clinton sidestepped administration guidelines by using a private email account on her own computer server to do State Department business. Privately, some Obama allies also say they're miffed at Clinton's handling of the email controversy, which continues to dog her campaign.

Meanwhile, Obama and Biden appear to have developedagenuinefi iendship during their six-and-a-halfyears in the White House. When Biden's son, Beau, died ofbrain cancer earlier this year, Obama delivered a movingeulogyin which he ref erred to thevicepresident as a"brother." In the weeks atter the younger Biden's death, Obama made surethe vicepresidentwas by hisside for high-profile administration announcements.

In picking between Biden and Clinton, Obama would be making a choice between two of the most influential members ofhis administration.

Obama and Clinton long ago turned their political rivalry fiom the 2008 primary into an alliance. Clinton left the administration in early 2013 after four years as Obama's secretaryofstate,butsheand the president still get together for occasional meetings.
