Baker City Manager Mike Kee can easily pinpoint when everything about his job changed. In July 2013 Kee was focused on the routine attributes connected to the position he has held since September 2010. His attention was absorbed with the predictable: managing personnel, overseeing maintenance work on streets in town and preparing for the annual East/West Shrine All-Star Football Game.

BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A
LOCAL BRIEFING By Katy Nesbitt VVesCom News Service
IMNAHA — The T-shirts in the Imnaha Store indicate the small unincorporated community may be the end of the world, unless you are on your way to Hells Canyon. The Five Mile Fire broke out Sunday, putting Imnaha on the map for firefighters from around the Northwest, who came to protect the town and surrounding ranches. A combined county, state and federal effort came together Sunday afternoon with air tankers and helicopters battling the blaze from the air supported by engines on the ground.
Paul Karvoski, Wallowa County emergencyservicesmanager, arrived shortly after the fire was reported. He said the fire started on Bench Road, two miles upriver from town. In that first burning period, 17 loadsofretardant were dropped on the ridge just above Imnaha. "That's what saved the fire from burning into Deer Creek, or it would have been off to the races," Karvoski sald. Kurt Solomon is overseeing structureprotection for the overhead team managing the fire. He said progress on the fire has been good. "The initial attack crews' work the

affirmed by the courts. USFS must actively promote the stewardshiprole delegated to it by Congress in legislation spanning more than a century and consistently upheld by the courts. The Plan failsto adequately doso." Bennett said county oflicials contend that the Forest Service needs to startover rather than try to revise the draft plan. "Too many things are wrong, including the basic tenet, and we don't think it's fixable,"Wallowa County Commissioner Mike Hayward said."The socioeconomic pieces have taken a huge backseattoecologicalpieces." Bennett, who serves on Baker County's Natural Resources Advisory Committee iNRACl, said the committee has devoted considerable time since March to poring overtheforestplan revision. The plan is intended to replacethe existing management plans for the three forests, which dateto 1990. Bennett said NRAC memberswere disappointed that Forest Service officials, from the NRAC's perspective, gave a cursory consideration to
the management alternative thatthe committee preferred as thebest ofa m ediocre lot. That alt ernative— it's "D" in the draft — calls for a nearly five-fold increase in loggingon the threeforests compared with the past 20 years. The Forest Service's preferredalternative"E" — also proposes more logging, but substantially less, at an annual average of 162 million board-feet, than Alternative D's 243 million board-feet. Moreover, Bennett said, the plan makes no guarantee that the forests will meet thoseprojected timber volumes. The current plan for the Wallowa-Whitman is proof of that. The forest's 1990 management plan includes an annual timber harvest of about
140 million board-feet. Yet the Wallowa-Whitman hasn't reached that target since the early 1990s. And since 2004 the three Blue Mountains forests combined have produced an average of about 50 million board-feet oftimber. Since 1990 the region has lost about 2,800jobsin the timber industry, 2,300 of those from sawmills that closed,according to the Forest Service. Baker County's only sawmill, Ellingson Lumber Co. in Baker City, closed in March 1996. The counties have been represented throughoutthe plan's revision by Roger Lord of Mason Bruce & Girard, a forestry consulting firm in Portland. Katy Nesbitt of WesCom News Service contributed to this story.

NANELY, Baker County District Attorney Matt Shirtclif said last week he's worried about the possibility that Oregon State Police will close its Pendleton crime lab, the only such lab in Eastern Oregon. We're worried, too. To that reaction we add another: disgust. OSP oKcials said they have made no decision about the Pendleton lab. The potential problem, they said, is money. Specifically, there might not be enough of it for the state's 2015-17 biennium to avoid cuts in State Police. This problem has a simple solution. The Legislature, which controls the state's purse strings, can and should protect the Pendleton crime lab. The amount of money involved, as a percentage of the state's budget, is minuscule. For the current biennium the budget for forensic services is $35.9 million. That's 9.5 percent more than the previous biennium. The issue here isn't that Oregonians aren't paying enough in taxes (most of the forensics budget,$33.5 million, comes from the state's tax-supported general
fund). The state has squandered 10 times that much money the past few years on such blunders as the Columbia River Crossing bridge project and the Cover Oregon website. But even setting aside those financial debacles, there's no excuse for the Legislature and the governor to allow the State Police to be among the first agen-
cies to be strapped to the budget-chopping block. The state, to cite just one example, is spending $5.8 million this biennium to oversee oA'-track betting on horse racing, a function that's not nearly as important as processing crime scenes and gathering the evidence that ensures murders and rapists are convicted. Yet that's precisely what's at stake with the potential closure of the Pendleton crime lab. When a major crime happens in Baker County, local police rely on forensic experts from the lab to collect the evidence that Shirtclif will need to make his case in court. Indeed, there is no other option. Processing a crime scene is not a job that can be postponed. Crucial evidence can be lost forever in a matter ofhours — the difference, perhaps, between driving 95 miles from Pendleton, and 300 miles from Clackamas or 250 miles from Bend. Baker County law enforcement has already been shortchanged — OSP closed its crime lab in Ontario several years ago, another victim, ostensibly, of budget cuts. Yet since then the Legislature has managed to boost the forensics budget by more than$4 million per biennium. No legislator would agree that convicting murderers and rapists is less important in Eastern Oregon than elsewhere in the state. But what matters now is not words but action. Protecting the Pendleton crime lab needs to be a priority in Salem.

Don't delay Smarter Balanced tests; ey'lls oww atworksinsc ools Editorial kom The (Bend) Bulletin: The Oregon Education Association says its members like the increased rigor of the Common Core State Standards but believe teachers haven't been given enough time and training to implement them. The union wants a moratorium on the new Smarter Balanced tests, which are aligned with the new standards and due to launch in spring 2015. Rob Saxton, the state's deputy superintendent, rejected the plea to delay Smarter Balanced tests when the union first proposed it in May. But OEA representativesare stillpromoting it,as they did during a visit last week with The Bulletin's editorial board. We supported Saxton's decision then, and were pleased to hear last week that the statehas no plans to reconsider. As Bend-La Pine Superintendent Ron Wilkinson told The Bulletin months ago, "Four years into having the stan-
dards,it'stim etohave the assessment alignedto those standards sowe can see how we are doing." What better way to move the process along than to have a test that shows who's doing it well and who isn't? In addition to therejected moratorium, the OEA wants the state to support more substantive training forteachers,asw ellasa teacher-led study of the best ways to assess Oregon students. That study would develop a system of routine, smaller tests that guide instruction along the way and possiblyofferan alternativeto Smarter Balanced. We have no reason to doubt that some dist rictshave done betterthan othersin preparing teachers for thisbig change.And no matter how good the training, facing a testthatcompares your results with other states is daunting.

It will allow us to see what works and what doesn't over time and distance and give our students a sense of how they compare across a larger population. In this global world, comparing only with other Oregonians doesn't tell us what we need to know. Teachers unions don't like standardized tests, which they say fail to reflect what children learn and distort classroom efforts by forcing too much emphasis on what's in the test. Resistance is also fueled in this case by the expectation that fewer students will pass Smarter Balanced tests than the older tests. State education leaders should try to address gaps in training and preparation where they exist, but they are wise to move forward with the Smarter Balanced testing.

UnionConntywinsopenerat SaheRuthtonrney By Eric Avissar VVesCom News Service
The Union County All-Stars opened pool play at the Babe Ruth Regional Tournament with a 13-8 win over Riverton, Wyoming, Tuesday at the Baker Sports Complex. Scoring four runs in the first inning and eight runs in the fourth, the All-Stars were dialed in on offense, as every player reached base safely. In both the first and fourth innings, the All-Stars went through their entire hitting lineup. Head coach Lee Atkinson said the offensive outburst in the fourth allowed his team to take control of the game afterlosing focus on defense. "The eight runs in the fourth inning got us focused,"Atkinson said. aWe'vebeen able to closethedoor when we needed to in most of our games." G.T. Blackman led Union County offensively, going 4-for-5 with 2 RBIs, including two key hits in the decisive fourth inning. Blackman also battled out of a difficult situation for the All-Stars on the mound. After walking three consecutivehitterstoload the bases with no outs in the second inning, Blackman retired the side with two straight strikeouts after giving up Riverton's first run of the game. "G.T. never loses focus," Atkinson said."Heisa true competitorand has fight beyond fight. When he gets frustrated, he gets mad at himself

Blackman finished his pitching shift with four strikeouts while giving up six walks. Derek Williams pitched four innings in relief, striking out five batters while giving up three walks. "I just cleared my mind and let it go," Blackman said on handling the jam."I had to relax, but with the basesloaded,you'regoing toget nervous." After going up 5-1 heading into the top of the fourth inning, the AllStarsstruggled defensively.Riverton's Matthew Reinig hit a two-run doubletotie thegame at5-5. However, the Union County All-Stars were unfazed after losing momentum, as Jayce Leonard hit a
sharp line drive down the third base line to send Blackman home. Cody Dubray followed up with a RBI single that sent Andrew Peasley home, as the All-Stars scored five runs beforeRiverton could record an out. Union County needed just five hits to score eight runs in the fourth. The All-Stars will resume play today at the Baker Sports Complex against The Dalles at 6 p.m. Winning two straight games to begin regionals will be a tough task, as The Dalles beat Union County by 10 runs both times the two teams met at the recent state tournament.

BRIEFING Halfway man wins age division in Steens Rim 10K race Larry Miller, 74, of Halfway won his age division and finished seventh overall in the Steens Rim Run/Walk on Aug. 2. The event is widely considered the most difficult 10K race in the Northwest. The race starts at an elevationof7,835feetand finishes at 9,757 feet, near the summit of the fault block mountain Harney County. Miller was the oldest of 103 finishers in the walking category. A constant headwind made the course even more difftcult, Miller wrote in a email to the Baker City Herald. He said he was in fikh placeformost oftheracebut a 19-year-old and a 26-yearold passed him in the last half-mile. Miller said he trained for the event by hiking in a hilly area above Halfway, but there the elevation gain was just half of the Steens course, and atan elevation several thousand feet lower. "Altitude was the determining factor," Miller said. He plans to compete in the race again next year.

Eastern Oregon law enforcement agencies may have to wait longer fortheircrime scene to be analyzed after Oregon State Police announced they may close the only forensics lab in Eastern Oregon.

We can do it, but we don't have the resources they do. Another problem is, will there be anyone available to dothe crime scene ifit does close and how long will it take?" Harvey said his department has called for OSP's SWAT team for assistance before but they weren't available. They had to go without and he fears the closure may result in a similar situation.

Nanette Lehman practices major strokes used to produce Chinese characters after touring the Tangbo Art Museum in Xi'an, China, in June.
LEHMAN Continued ~om Page1A The day before, she and the other fellowship winners met at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., to prepare for this summer's trip. The work had actually begun the summer before, when the award recipients began studying ways to improvetheir students'global competency skills. Lehman keptajournal during her trip. "I was there experiencing it," she said of the Chinese way oflife."Our main purpose was to gain global competency. They were teaching us about their culture and their customs." That information can only benefitAmerican students as they begin competing for jobs globally, Lehman says. The teachers were all warmly welcomed, but the Alrican-Americans and those with lighter skin and hair, like Lehman, were especially sought after. She was surprised by the number of people who wanted their pictures taken with the Americans who they have only limited contact with. She was approached by one woman who simply asked eWill you hold my baby and can I take your picture?" The trip included visits to the Beijing sites of The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall. "If I had to rank them," she said of the sites visited on her China adventure, "first would be the Great Wall," Lehman said.

She came down aboard a toboggan that slid along an aluminum track. eYou were totally in controlofthe speed ofthetoboggan," she said, and people were placed strategically along the track to monitor the speed. After five days in Beijing, the group next traveled to Xi'an where Lehman rode a bicycle on the city wall and joined with her American counterparts to sing'The Star-Spangled Banner"as they prepared to watch the U.S. take on Germany,the homeland of one their tour guides, in the2014World

Archaeologists unearthed a sword during Lehman's visit. 'This was a lesson I taught my students," Lehman said of the TerracottaWarriors. As part of the NEA Global Fellowship, the travelers were charged with producing aseriesoflessons that complementstate standards. Lehman's lessons feature theTerracotta Warriorsand ask students to compare how historical leaders are honored in the United States as compared to how they are honored in China. In thearea of"special global competencies" Lehman's lessons expect second-graders to"recognize the importance of artifacts across the globe and how their historical significance reveals stories." She wrote that she hopes her study unit will"spark an interest in investigating current leadership in China and the US. or other parts of the world." Unlike some other states, Oregon's Teacher of the Year is automatically nominated for the NEA Fellowship, Lehman said. And — now thathertrip isover— she says she wishes other teachers could have shared in the benefits bestowed on her as Teacher of the Year. "I really wish they'd spread the wealth," she said. "The opportunity to grow professionally really should be spread around." Still, Lehman is grateful for the benefits bestowed on her, acknowledging that being chosen as Oregon's top teacher has changed her life. "I am incredibly honored," she said."I didn't understand the magnitude of what that meant." It wasn't until she was at the White House with the other state winners beingintroduced as"50 of the best" of the country's 3.2 million public educators that it started to sink in that her award really was a big deal, she said. The group she traveled with in China was introduced as "America's best teachers." "It's so humbling," she said."Iseemyselfasa grow-

Lehman andherfellow Teachers of the Year also were given a Teach it Forward Scholarship through the University of Phoenix to pass on to a deserving student. Lehman chose 2013 Baker High School graduate Danielle Freese Talbot for the honor. The young woman is maintaining straight A's in her pursuit of a business degree at the online university, Lehman said.
To top it all ofE the Teacher of the Year honor carries with it a full-scholarship to Walden University for the outstanding teachers themselves.

"Never pass up an opportunity to learn and grow," she said."Especially when someoneelse ispaying for it." Lehman will be moving from the classroom to an administrator's office for half a day this year when she takes on the role ofhead teacher at Haines Elementary. She expects to have her administrator's license by December as she pursues her higher academic degree. "I have really mixed emotions about not being in the classroom," she said.

Small-business owners have a greatdealofchallenges they face every day. From the national economy to the local economy, from the type ofbusiness they chosetoopen to the location ofit, owners take a gamble that thegl be successful. However, for La Grande's Peanut Gallery, it may have more of a challenge than many other business owners face. The Peanut Gallery is one of La Grande's only places to rent DVDs. Located on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Fir Street, the Peanut Gallery has been in business since 2011 but changed owners to the Lewis family last
fall. With husband and wife, mother and children all taking part in helping run the business, the Lewis family knows the only way to stay in business is to offer quality customer service — something that their competition cannot offer. "Everyone has full-time jobs," Glenna Stultz, mother and owner ofthe store,said."Everything goesback tothestore.W e're dependent on our customers and at their mercy."

— John Williams, Oregon State University Extension agent
ENTERPRISE — As of late July, Wallowa County has a new USDA Wildlife Services agent. Brady Smith replaces longtime agent Marlyn Riggs, who died last winter. Smith grew up in Roseburg an avid hunter, fisher and trapper. Those Smith years in the outdoors parlayed into a job, and now a career, as a government trapper. Smith said he always loved Eastern Oregon and worked here as a seasonal aerial gunner a few years ago. He then
took a full-time job in Mariposa, Calif., outside of Yosemite National Park. For the last year and a halfhe's worked out of Coquille in the Coast Range before accepting the Wallowa County job. John Williams, Oregon State University Extension agent, said the county pays roughly half of Smith's salary and the federal and state governments pay the other half. If there's a shortfall, Smith can make it up by aerial gunning predators and nuisance animals — like feral pigs in Grant County.

If they report the customer, then word of mouth about the incident could leave lasting repercussions. So far, that's not a solution Steven is willing to choose. Additionally, Steven installeda high-grade security system that monitors every corner of the store because they had issues of people walking out of the store with a DVD. Problems like these are something the Peanut Gallery must face every day, and that's not all. "Intoday'stime avideo store is a tough business to have," Steven said."Espe-
cially during the summer when there's so much to do outside. Business has gone down drastically through the summer." For small-business owners in Oregon, the location of a business can make or break a business. A recent survey conducted by Thumbtack, an organization out of San Francisco that links customers to the right business, found Oregon was one of the worst states to begin a new business. Businesses across the country were sent this survey asking about the ease of starting a business, hiring, regulations, licenses, taxing and zoning for their state. No business from Union County replied to the survey, according to Jon Lieber, chief economist of Thumbtack. However, Oregon, which ranked No. 22 overall, scored a"D"in most ofitscategories, including a"D-plus" in ease ofhiring and a"D"in overall regulations. The survey's results could discouragemost people wanting to start a business here. "Oregon is my home," Essie said. Where I live won't affect us reaching our
other jobs, such as trapping squirrels at cemeteries or the landfill. Over the past severalyears,wildlife servicesagents have been involved with wolf predation investigations. Because of the dozens of wolves that make Wallowa County home, Williams saidithelpsto havea dedicated agent. "The issue of the wolves, the distanceittakesfor a shared person from another county to travel and the fact that we have a service district justifies having our own agent,"Williams said. Smith said his first few weeks he is "doingalotofm eetand greetstuffand getting steel on the ground for coyote issues." He hasn't been on a wolf depredation investigation yet, but said he's attended seminars and learned the unique way in which wolves kill. When it comes to wolf-suspected livestock kills, he will work jointly with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the lead agency managing wolves in Eastern Oregon.
dream. You're going to have challenges no matter what." La GrandeMain Street Downtown Coordinator Saira Siddiqui said while she is too new to notice what La Grande's small-business owners are struggling with most, she did say she's noticed a high turnover rate. "The business owners could be at fault, though," Siddiqui said."Not thinking the business through, or a business just up and leaving. La Grande is an anomaly. We don't have a huge vacancy rate while other small towns do." Community and Economic Development Director Charlie Mitchell has seen similar surveys conducted in the pastand said alotofthe poor rankings has to do with tax structure. "The West Coast is always in acategory that isless fiiendly than the Midwest or East Coast," Mitchell said."Most of the time, the businessesare undercapitalizedfor starting up orfor expansion." Siddiqui said she's lived in big cities where there is an equally high turnover rate, but no one notices because of the large population. The La
Grande community notices when a business closes. "I can't say La Grande is worseorbetteroffthan other towns," she said. For the Peanut Gallery, despite the slow summer, they did make money in their first several months ofbeing in business, Stultz said. It's not easy to own your own business, Stultz said. The family is working at the store nearly every day. For all three of the adults who run the Peanut Gallery, they're working their fulltime jobs then coming to the store and working there. All of the money is going back to the store, Stultz said. Their work is cut out for them, but they've gained hundreds of new accounts since opening last fall, and as they gain loyal customers their selection will grow, too.

The word"imagine" is what motivated supporting player Shane Battier to step up toa leadership role on the team, something he had never considered.

l. Unique selling points. To determine the uniqueness of a product or service, think like the people who you want to respond to your ad. 2. Complete words. Limit abbreviations. they can confuse thereader or obsuuct communication. If you decide to use some abbreviations, avoid unusual ones. 3. Mind Images. Appeal to the readers senses, such as sight, touch or emotions. 4. Always include the price. If you are flexible, include best offer or negotiable. 5.Ir brand names are involved, always use them. Brand names covey a sense of quality, dependability and appropriateness. 6. Give your ad a chance to work. The potential customer pool for your product, merchandise, or service is not static. Different readers and potential customers read the newspaper each day. It is important for you to "throw out an advertising net" to catch as many customers as possible. Remember, higher priced items normally need more days exposure to sell. 7.Be sure to include a phone number where you can be reached.

WEDNESDAY,AUGUST 6, 20)4 YOUR BIRTHDAY byStella Wilder Born today, you are likely to be the center of attention, off and on, throughout your lifetime. Like many Leo natives, you can be quite aggressiveasyou pursueyour goals,and there is nothing about you that is bashful, sheepish or retiring. When you want a thing, you go and get it — it's as simple as that. On the way, you are sure to attract the attention of others, whether supportive or critical. You areperhaps more colorfuland creativethan others born under your sign, and this can serve you well; you will have something unique and original to offer when you are given the opportunity.

However, if the person who died was a childofa close relative,Ican see how that could be very painful for the parents who lost their child. The appropriate thing to do would be to first have a conversation with the surviving family memberisl to be sure it will be considered the honor it is intended to be and DEAR ABBY: When you go to the store for not open fresh wounds. If it would cause milk and eggs there is a "sell-by"date on the pain, perhaps the expectant parents should package.

in Gaza in an attempt to stop Hamas from launching rockets at Israel. On July 17, Israelsent ground troops into thedensely-populated territory to destroy underground tunnels it said Hamas had constructedfor attacksinside Israel. But in the weeks leading up to the war, IsraeliPalestinian tensions were soaring in the wake of the June killings of three Israeli teenagers, whose bodies were discoveredtwo weeks after they disappeared in the West Bank. Israelaccused Hamas of being behind the abductions, and subsequently carried out a massive ground operation in the West Bank, arresting hundreds of Hamas operatives as part of a manhunt. And in early July, an Arab teenager was abducted and burned alive by Israeli extremists in an apparent revenge attack. Six Jewish Israelis were arrested in that killing. On Wednesday, Israel's justice ministry confirmed that the suspected mastermind behind the killing of the three Israeli teens had been arrested in July. The suspect, Husam al-Qawasmi, allegedly led a three-man cell thatIsraeliprosecutorssay kidnapped and murdered the teens. It wasn't immediately clear if al-Qawasmi has been charged. Israel says the cell's members are all alliated wtth Hamas, though the mthtant group has not claimed any connection to the teens' abduction and killings.
