Just before dark Monday, Patty Hanley heard a strange sound coming kom her Baker City backyard, where her three dogs were playing as usual. Her 4-year-old male malamute mix, Chinook, was wailing. "And if I hadn't been here, I would have come home to two dead dogs," Hanley said. She ran into the yard to find that Chinook had wedged his chin in the collar of another of Hanley's dogs, Keebler. The collar had twisted around Chinook's jaw, which was causing the 2-year-old male Pyreneeshound mix to suffocate. Hanley ran to the garage, grabbed a box cutter and raced back to sever the collar and kee the dogs.

Correction: A story about a Baker City Council meeting on Page 3A of Wednesday's issue had the wrong amount of a transfer from the city's public arts budget. The amount is $1,000, not $10,000.

fora day oflessons,rentalsand lift tickets over an eight-week period. At first, there weren't many high schoolers. Now, says Marketing Director Chelsea McLagan, participants have grown up in the program, so the age groups are being divlded.

This year there are 150 spots availableto those in grades 4-9, and anadditional40 spotsfor grades 10-12. The eight-week program starts Jan. 8 and ends March 4. There is no session on Feb. 19.

The program for lower grades remains the same — each Friday foreight weeks, participants get a bus ride to the mountain, rentals, a lesson and a lift ticket. The

eight-weekcostis $80. On any other day, this package — rental, lift ticket and lessonwould cost $71 per day for youth age 12 and younger. "It's a pretty good deal, "M cLagan said. A grant from the Leo Adler Foundation grant helps keep the cost low. SeeSkiing/Page 7A
