The students stepped into the yellow flame-resistant Nomex clothing required of Forest Service crews and strapped on backpacks filled with supplies that the firefighters carry.

"That was really fun," said Shelby Griffith."I liked dressing up.

pot tax

By Coby Hutzler chutzler©bakercityherald.com

With Oregon voters to decide in November whether to legalize recreational marijuana use, the Baker City Council on Tuesday discussed a possible local tax on the product.

A number of Oregon cities and counties are exploring options for such a tax.

What's less clear, though, is whether cities would have the legal authority to tax marijuana were voters to approve recreational use.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 24, 1964 Photo: RESOURCE APPRECIATION — Sixth-grade students of the Brooklyn School gather around instructor Jack Hill of the Forest Service as he explains the types of trees and how age is determined. The Brooklyn School group is part of the 266 sixth-grade students from that school and Churchill, Central, Haines, North Baker, South Baker and Huntington that took part in the Baker Kiwanis Club sponsored Resource Appreciation tour on Wednesday. Located in the area of the Marble Creek picnic grounds, the six"stations" covered the subjects of Fire control, Camp Craft, Forestry, Geology, Wildlife and Soil and Water.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Sept. 25, 1989 Rep. Mike Nelson, D-Baker, has been notified that his request for $25,000 was granted for a feasibility study on a proposed state park in Sumpter Valley.

DaveTalbot, superintendent of State Parks, informed Nelson the money was authorized.

The funding comes on the heels of a bill Nelson introduced in the 1989 Legislature to build a state park in Sumpter.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Sept. 24, 2004 For months, Randy Joseph, the chair of the county's Power Generation Task Force, has been telling county commissioners that building a 3 megawatt, $4 million hydroelectric plant at Mason Dam might make financial sense.

This week, an attorney who's helping several municipalities in Idaho to sign the power purchase agreements that lead to financing to build the plants gave commissioners another reason why they might want to build. The Oregon Public Utilities Commission could decide as soon as December to emulate an established Idaho model that requires utilities to purchase power from qualifying facilities.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Oct. 2, 2013 An improved Resort Street is expected to reopen soon with final paving starting within the next few days.

This means Resort should be closed only for another week or so, said Michelle Owen, the city's public works director.

Benches will begin to go in on the east side of the street right after the paving is completed.

Street lights are now up on that side of Resort.

Watch for installation of benches and amenities to begin on the west side of the street after that concrete is poured.

And street trees should start being planted soon, Owen sard.

BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A

OUTDOOR Continued from Page1A Some students also took turns sending a spray of water into the trees during their 50-minute stay at the "Fire" station, one of 15 that students traveled to — five per day — Monday through Wednesday.

Joe Sullivan, Forest Service foreman of a hand crew working out of Unity, brought his guys to Phillips Park for the daily lessons.

The students especially enjoy interacting with the instructors as the experts share their knowledge with them in the outdoor classrooms, said Dorothy Mason, Outdoor School director.

'These folks all come out here — and squeeze the time in — with all their other commitments," she said."They provide a lot oflittle details and the kids just love itthey eat it up."

At the 'Wildlife" station, Allison Kuehl, a retired Baker City Forest Service biologist, teamed with Laura Navarrete, a La Grande biologist, to teach the sixthgraders how to identify herbivores,carnivores and omnivores by examining their skulls and the sharpness of their teeth.

The students also learned that pronghorns ierroneously referredto asantelope they were told) are the fastest land mammals in North America, ableto travelat speeds of 50 to 55 mph.

And the women informed students that the deer that live inside the city limits do so because they have become "habituated" to humans and stopbeing afraid ofthem.

Navarrete told the students that there are about 40 moose living in the area.

Moose, along with any other hooved animal, are"ungulates," she explained.

When her talk was interrupted by chattering in a nearby tree, Navarrete identified the irate animal for her students Thatis ared squirrel. He's mad that we're in his territory."

The sixth-graders also examined deer antlers and compared them to the horns ofbighorn sheep, mountain goats and pronghorns.

At the Forestry station, Logan McCrae, stewardship forester, and foresterJana Peterson, who both work out of the Baker City office of the Oregon Department of Forestry, discussed tree growth and helped students identify the various trees growing on the 10-acre park that has been home to Outdoor School since 1994.

During the week students also will attend classes on these topics: • Soils • Watershed • Leave No Trace • Habitat • Living Pond • Noxious Weeds • Archaeology • Survival • First Responder • Insects

• Geology • Wildlife • Orienteering Thursday will be set aside forelective classeson topics ranging from geocaching to tying camping knots, building bird boxes and a scavenger hunt.

In addition to the U.S. Forest Service, who supplied five instructors from the La Grande ofFIce, and the Oregon Department of Forestry, theprogram issupported by other agencies that allow their employees to teach the outdoor lessons each year, Mason said.

a enon The National Football League has gotten as much attention recently for its players' alleged crimes than their touchdowns.

This isn't altogether a bad trend.

The blizzard of publicity that followed the release of a video showing Baltimore Ravens' running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiance in an elevator, knocking her unconscious, cast a bright light on the horrorsofdomestic violence.

Soon aker, Minnesota Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson was accused of abusing his son by swatting him with a switch.

Although we think it's beneficial to remind people that such things happen, we doubt this news counts as anything like a revelation for most Americans.

We wonder, though, whether the media fixation with the Rice and Peterson cases might divert attention from the heart of this problem, which most definitely is not professional football.

NFL players make up an infinitesimal percentage of the population, and of domestic abusers.

The vast majority of the damage occurs in regular households, the crimes committed by average citizens who won't ever be profiled on ESPN. We don't mean in any way to diminish the severity of the crimes Rice and Peterson are accused of. Both should receive the harshest possible punishment under the law.

But that should be the case with every person convicted of domestic violence.

Fortunately, there's reason to believe that, notwithstanding the NFL's seemingly tepid attitude toward dealing with its players, America as a whole is less tolerant than it used to be of domestic abuse.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, domestic violence cases declined by 63 percent from

1994 to 2012.

We think America, and the media, would do well to look into the causes for that gratifying trend rather than focusing on the transgressions of two football players.

GUEST EDITORIAL

State s ouldn't set sick leave policy Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: We hear it routinely. Oregon, we're told, isa tough place to do business.

Now some lawmakers aim to make it w orse.

Itappears a measure torequire allormost ofthe state'sprivate employersto give theirworkers paid sick leave will likely be introduced in the 2015 Legislature. A similar proposal died in the 2013 legislative session.

Let's be clear: We encourage employers tooffer paid sick leave,ifthey can afford it. But there are times when Oregon doesn't need to be an innovator, and this is one of them. Currently only two states, California and Connecticut, and seven U.S. cities, including Portlandand Eugene, requireprivate employerstooffersick leave,and that's

innovation enough. For small employers, in particular, paid sick leave could be the added expense that makes the costofdoing business,well,too costly.

Consider how small-business owners around the nation already view us.

In a survey reported on in Governing magazine, Oregon earned a slew of D grades, a pair of Cs and only two Bs. The state gotrelatively good marks for its friendliness, licensing and the ease of starting a new business.

But it fell short on everything from the ease of hiring, overall regulations (itranked 33 of38 statesreporting in that category), zoning, health and safety, and environmental laws. It earned a D+ on its tax code. Too, nearly 14 percent of Oregonians in the workforceare considered"under-employed"

by the state — they hold part-time jobs when they'd rather work full time.

Meanwhile, although sectors of the state's economy are improving, we still trail the nation where unemployment and per-capita earnings are concerned.

The solutions — more and betterpaying jobs — will come in no small part as new businesses move in, and as long as we're seen as unfriendly in that regard, the pace of growth in that area will lag.

The Bulletin's parent company offers paid sick leave, 10 days per year. But some business owners honestly believe paying people when they're ill is simply too expensive. Neither we nor they should be required by law to do so.

Your views Back Kitzhaber, Merkley to restore victory for common man ''We all do well, when we all do well."

This is how master filmmaker Ken Burns encapsulates the core insights and beliefs of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor in his epic documentary"The Roosevelts." (If you missed it, it's online on PBS.org through Sept. 28.) ''We all do well, when we all do well."

These seemingly simple words are profoundly inspiring if we let them enter our hearts and inform us. And they can breathe life and hope into even the most cynical and despairing among us, as we recallhow almost everyone prospered during 1950s and 1960s, when the results of the Roosevelts' phenomenal leadership reached full fnntion.

And, yes, the words should also jolt us awake, as we compare our country today with the way we were back then. In the '50s, '60s, and '70s, one wage earner could provide for an entire family; we built the interstate highway system; tuition at our state colleges was virtually zero; we instituted Medicare; and there was the promise of even better things to come for future generations. Top marginal income taxes on the wealthy

were over 90 percent, but most everyone prospered as those taxes were converted into beneficial spending and economic growth.

Today, government has stepped back, as jobs have been shipped overseas or automated; wages have stagnated for 35 years, and the profits have gone to the top one percent who pay minimal taxes.

Predatory mortgage loans and credit cards have bankrupted many; unregulated big banks triggered the Great Recession; and college tuition and user fees have skyrocketed.

Even so, one ofour greatpoliticalparties, led by ideology and wealth, is advocatingeven greatersacrifi ce and loss,as evidenced by the front-page interview of Monica Wehby in the Record-Courier on Sept. 18, in which she twice emphasized the need to"get government out of our lives as much as possible."

Let us, together,restore thevictory for the common man won by the Roosevelts.

Google"Governor John Kitzhaber on the issues" and Google "U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley working for the middle class" to learn more.

The slippery slope of insurance coverage exemptions I read, with interest, Pete Sundin's letter re: The Little Sisters of the Poor doing good works and being required to comply with the mandate to provide to all its employees health insurance including the provision of birth control.

Firstand foremost,employers do not have the right to know how their employees use the health care they are provided. That information is only for doctors and their patients to know; NOT the employers.

Secondly, if the Affordable Health Care act restricts coverage to any medical problem, then birth control will lead the insurerstonotprovidecoverage for a brokenleg,a heartattack,or a cancerous nodule. The insurance companies are very interested in taking our money while they are not as enthusiastic about payingmoney outto someone who needs medical care.

Give 'em an inch, thegl take a mile.

Volunteers are invited to helpcleartreesfrom atrail in the Elkhorn Mountains Saturday as part of National Public Lands Day. Forest Service workers will gather between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. at the Peavy trailhead at the edge of the North Fork John Day Wilderness, about 50 road miles northwest of Baker City.

Forest Service crews, along

with volunteers, will be working on the Peavy Trail, which leadsfrom the rentable Peavy Cabin to the Elkhorn Crest National Recreation Trail.

In 1996 the Sloans Ridge fire burned most of the upper portion of the North Fork John Day canyon. Since then hundreds ofburned trees have fallen across the trail.

Volunteers should wear

long pants and a long-sleeved shirt and bring a lunch and plenty of water. The Forest Service will supply hand tools, hard hatsand gloves.

The fire then spread east into the Nez Perce National Forest, which is where Ochoa was injured.

The case of the fire is still being investigated. It has burned about 3,500 acres. For more information on the fire please visit InciWeb at http J/inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4102/.

PORTLAND iAPl — A man who says he suffered a broken leg after he refused to stop and show his receipt as he left a Costco Wholesale store in Portland has filed a lawsuit.

The Oregonian reports ihttp J%s.gd/kQtJm4l that Timo-

thy Walls is seeking $670,000. One ofWalls' lawyers says the man didn't believe the store had a right to detain him basedupon itspractice ofchecking receiptsatthedoor.

Walls' recent Circuit Court lawsuit says he had bought about $100 worth of goods and was leaving the store on Jan. 28, 2013, when an employee grabbed and held onto his shopping cart and told him he couldn't leave. The suit says words were exchanged and when the employee wouldn't let go, Walls grabbed him by the shirt collar and pulled him away from the cart.

The lawsuit says another employee then used "a martial arts-type strike with his leg."

A suburban Portland lawyer representing Costco, Bill Stockton, declined comment. However, he wrote in court papersthatWal ls'injurieswere"thesole and directresult of 4isl own conduct, fault, and negligence."

Medford ponders marijuana tax MEDFORD (Apj — If Oregon voters approve recreational marijuana, Medford will be ready to tax it.

The Medford council considered an ordinance Tuesday night that would impose a citytax of 6to18 percent.

The MailTribune reports (http:I/bit. ly/1 vgqZ8w j the council may vote before state voters decide Ballot Measure 91. Deputy City Attorney Kevin McConnell said the city would be in a better legal position if it enacts the tax before the state measure passes.

The state of Oregon would also tax marijuana, so any city tax would be on top of that.

Murder trial underway in Pendleton PENDLETON iAPl — A trial is underway in Eastern Oregon for a man accused of killing a neighbor in 2011, and details emerged Monday during opening statements.

The East Oregonian reports ihttp//bit.ly/1sWbW13l that 52-year-old George Craigen is accused of gunning down 54-year-old Cecil "Rob" Carter at Carter's plumbing shop near Milton-Freewater.

The prosecutor says the two were friends for years and drank together, but Craigen had misfortunes such as losing his girlfiiend, getting behind on his mortgage and getting arrested on a weapons charge. The prosecutor says Craigen inexplicably blamed Carter, and snapped when Carter looked disapprovingly at a fence he was building.

Craigen's lawyer doesn't deny his client shot Carter but has advanced an insanity or mental stress defense to the murder charge, saying Craigen suffered from lead poisoning and alcoholism.

NEWYORK iAPl — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and chief assistant Troy Vincent were told by 11 former players that the league must act immediately when someone is accused ofdomesticviolence.

At a 3 V2-hour meeting to discuss ways to improve the league'spersonalconduct policy,theformer playersalsosaid teams must be held accountable when players misbehave.

At the meeting were Hall of Famer Mike Singletary, plus Matt Birk, Eddie Mason, Patrick Kerney, Willie McGinest, Roman Oben, Marty Lyons, Charles Way, Tony Paige, Scott Turner and Robert Porcher. More weekly meetings are planned among league officials and former players, current players and team owners.

Steelers sign former star 3ames Harrison PITTSBURGH iAPl — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin called the decision to sign James Harrison"simple and easy." Figuring out how — and just as important when — to use the five-time Pro Bowl linebacker, well, that part is a little trickier.

The Steelers brought the 36-year-old Harrison out of retirement to give an injury depleted group some needed depth and a locker room in need of some intensity an added

jolt.

Harrison, who seemed to end his 12-year NFL career during an impromptu news conference Sept. 5, will provide plenty ofboth. How quickly he sees the field, however, remains uncertain.

As the last quarter starts, there remains hope that great things can still take place; that breakthrough relationships, products and possibilities can surface and hard work will yield results to be harvested.

TAKE DO-IT-YOURSELF APPROACH • Ashley Kahl, Katie Newman launch all-natural Crunchy Mamas

By Lisa Bntton For the Baker City Herald

All they wanted was lip balm with natural ingredients.

So threeyears ago,sisters-inlaw Ashley Kahl and Katie Newman made their own.

Then they made some for fiiends, then more people wanted some, so they made more and started marketing their product. aWe thought we should make lip balms and see if anybody will buy them. And they did," Kahl sald.

The Crunchy Mamas was founded — "handmade products by moms who hate chemicals."

Although they started the business in Dallas, Ore., where they both lived, Crunchy Mamas' first official space is in downtown Baker City.

Earlier this year, Newman and her family moved here when her husband, Dustin, started work at the Baker City Police Department.

Since Kahl still lives in Dallas, they have divided duties — Newman handles manufacturing and shipping while Kahl is in charge of all social media and marketing.

Kahl comes east when she can — these two, in addition to being relatedby marriage,are best fiiends. aWe're constantly on the

The biggest shame to befall any business leader is to begin a new year with the goalofhaving theyear end in a betterplace,and then face the brutal facts at year end that the business is in worse condition than when the year started.

Ask five questions to check how far, or not, your company has progressed: 1. Are we still selling vanilla ice cream? Continuing to sel la"me too"commodity like everyone else does only leads to ever shrinking margins. Many companies get into the trap of selling only on price because they have not correctly positioned themselves in the market, but more importantly, becausethere isnoviable reason for a buyer to pay more.

The turnaround can still take place in the remaining time left in the year. A breakthrough organization is always on the hunt for a more compelling competitive advantage and the search for higher margins by developing products that are worthy of a higher price.

Lock your brainpower in a room until this opportunity had been completely addressed.

2. What have you done to retain the best and engage or replace the rest? Every business is based on the quality of the people in the organization. The challenge oftheleader isto retain the very best managers and to engage as many employees as possible.

The patch Landis planted last spring beneath the J. Herbert Stone Nursery sign along Hanley Road already has producedfi ve caterpillars from monarchs that recently bred there.

A plot he planted last year in his east Medford yard produced one caterpillar last year, but the noxious milkweed there is closing in on 30 caterpillars this year.

The victims themselves are usually the ones to catchthe lossoftheir finances, but banking institutions may report it to APS because of a change in spending behavior, Musgrove said. ''When there's a significant increase in spending money in their account, where there wasn't before, the banks may catch that," he said.
