Fresh offhis primary win in the May 20 primary, Bill Harvey, said his plans as the likely incoming chairman of the Baker County Board of Commissioners remain focused on a single concept: producingjobs.

The concept is not a new one — generating more jobs for the county was a central tenet of Harvey's campaign — and the local building

PORTLAND — Oregon must slash its carbon dioxide emissions from power plants nearly in half by 2030 under federal requirements the Obama administration has proposed to curb global warming.

The state Department of Environmental Quality will be in charge of drawing plans to meet the goal. The initiative gives each state flexibility in how to reduce carbon emissions by 2030.

About half a dozen power plants in Oregon would be affected by the requirements, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 4, 1964 The county court yesterday appointed a seven-member board for the new Baker County library, it was announced today.

Included on the board are the five city library board members, J.R.Evans,Austin Dunn,FayeWells,Atha Burchtorf and Patricia Borgen.

The other two members are Leora Sharp representing Pine Eagle Valley and E'Jay Morrissey, Keating.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 5, 1989 The Pine-Eagle School Board took action Thursday during a special meeting to reduce the administrative staff by one person and designate a head teacher at Richland Elementary for the 1989-90 school year.

That resulted in a reorganization of the district's administrative staff, which, instead of four persons, will consist of three.

The board had earlier considered combining administrative duties as part of a "three-year plan" to help save the district money. However, with the recent resignation of Pine-Eagle High School principal Robert Bates, the board took action on administrative reorganization earlier than anticipated.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 4, 2004 The black-speckled fish, most of a yard long and thick as a weighlifter's biceps, flops wetly in the net and then, with a single thrash of its tail, disappears into the murky currents of the Powder River near downtown Baker City.

It is a chinook salmon.

And it is the first of its kind to swim in these urban waters since the Great Depression.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 12, 2013 When Ben Merrill strolls the halls of Baker High School this fall his mind will no doubt drift back to an earlier time in his life.

But, he'll have to remain in the grown-up world where he'sbeen named the new Baker High Schoolassistant principal, replacing Gwen O'Neal.

O'Neal has been named Brooklyn Primary School principal. Troy Fisher, Brooklyn principal for the past nine years, is moving to Newberg to work as a principal at a school there.

• Sheepherder said wolves didn't flee when he fired .22 rifle into the air nearby

By Katy Nesbitt VVesCom News Service

Biologists confirm wolf OR-7, mate had pups

ENTERPRISE — Three lambs were killed and 20 injured by wolves recently on a Zumwalt Prairie ranch.

According to Wallowa CountyChiefDeputy Fred Steen, a sheepherder living among a band of sheep on Elk Mountain Road outside of Enterprise, said he heard wolves howling at about 11:30 p.m. on May 29. Then he said his guard dogs came toward the trailer at a high rate of speed.

According to an Oregon Department of Fish and

PORTLAND — Wolf OR-7 and a mate have produced offspring in southwest Oregon's Cascade Mountains, wildlife biologists confirmed today.

In early May, biologists suspected that OR-7, originally from Northeastern Oregon, had a mate in the Rogue RiverSiskiyou National Forest when remote cameras captured several images of what appeared to be a black female wolf in the same area.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFWj biologists returned to the area Monday,June 2,and observed two pups.Scatsamples from the area have been collected and submitted to a laboratory for DNA analysis, which will take several weeks.

It is likely there are more pups as wolf litters typically number four to six pups.

The pups mark the first known wolf reproduction in the OregonCascades sincethe mid-1940s.

— Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife

Wildlife (ODFWl report, when the sheepherder shined a flashlight he saw three wolves and shot a .22-caliber rifle into the air to scare them.

"The sheepherder said when he shot in the air, they just stood there," Steen said."He was very unnerved and upset that they weren't

scared. They are getting habituated."

The sheepherder told investigatorshe had previous experience with wolves on a ranch in Idaho and he had

come close enough to hit a w olf with a shovel to protect the flock.

EarlyFriday morning rancher Mark Dawson was driving out Crow Creek

Road to the Kreb's Ranch and told Leanna Wentz, the owner of the sheep, that he had seen a wolf in the road about two miles from her ranch.

This is the first significant sheep depredation by wolves in Wallowa County. The only other loss of sheep was one confirmed in the Prairie Creek neighborhood outside of Joseph last winter. Wolves have killed and injured sheep in Umatilla County in the past couple of years, and in Baker County's Keating Valley in 2009, but until last week Wallowa County ranchers have only had conirmed lossesofcalves,cows f and a mule to wolves in the last four years.

The first confirmed loss ofli vestock to wolves in the Wallowa Valley was in May 2010 when a dead calf was discovered by a Fish and Wildlife employee on the Zumwalt Prairie.

EDITORIAL

rea was e OO

1e

Baker City's recent debate about modest salary raises for a dozen or so employees, and questions raised during the primary election campaign about whether Baker County is holding on to too much cash at the end of the fiscal year, seem quaint in comparison to the financial debacle that's been plaguing Multnomah Countyfor a decade.

We're referring to the infamous Wapato Jail in Oregon's most populous county.

In a case of government ineptitude that surely surprises even cynics, Multnomah County spent

$58 million to build a jail that has never housed an inmate.

And the county continues to shell out $300,000 per year to maintain the building.

The explanation for what seems inexplicable is that county oKcials overestimated the number ofjail cells that would be needed.

We don't mean to suggest that salary raises for city workers, or Baker County's budgeting strategy, are topics unworthy of public discussion. Of course they are.

But as we debate these issues, we as taxpayers ought to feel better knowing that at least we're not

paying for an empty building.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Gov. John Kitzhaber is going on the offense in the Cover Oregondebacle,seeking to shiftthefocustowebsite developer Oracle's failings and away from errors by the state.

Offense may play better politically than defense, but with at least four federal investigations ongoing, a lawsuit against Oracle Corp. may be premature.

Kitzhaber launched his volley last week by asking Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum to "immediately initiate legalaction torecoverpayments and other damages from Oracle ..." Rosenblum's response was cautious, saying her team was "fully engaged in the 'legwork"' and"thoroughly investigating the facts and developing successful legalstrategies.

"She offered the governor a"confidential update."

Kitzhaber also asked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to levy fines against Oracle and sought helpfrom Oregon'sU.S.Sens.Ron Wyden and JeffM erkley.

Armed with a report from First Data, a company Oregon hired to figure out what went wrong, Kitzhaber said Oracle "promised something it did not deliver." He admitted the state made mistakes and listed steps he has taken to correct thoseerrors,such asreplacing top leadership and bringing in a reorganization team. The state has been widely criticized for its failure to hire a systems integrator to oversee the Cover Oregon project, and with making "time and material" contracts with Oracle that required paying for programmers' time rather than for a finished product.

Oracle has responded by saying the state mismanaged the project. The huge technology company said extensive documentationexiststo show thestate failed todeliver requirements to Oracle.

Because Cover Oregon's bills were paid by the federal government, ongoing federal probes are being conducted by the FBI, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Government Accountability OIfice and the U.S. House oversight committee.

Better to see where those investigations lead than to launch an expensive, complex legal action against Oracle, a company that would no doubt be a formidable legal foe, especially given the complex mix of state and corporate error involved.

S CBI1 8 1"eVeB S We Proponents ofbig government require a no more salient example of its inherent weakness than the scandal that has recently consumed the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The burgeoning facts are like a bomb that keeps exploding.

It seems that every day a new allegation is made, a new angle is revealed.

Now 42 facilities in states trom Arizona to South Carolina to Texas have been implicated, as whistle-blowers in the federal agency with the second-largest budget have begun to share disturbingly similar accounts about excessive wait times for medical appointments and claims that VA officials falsified hospital recordsto disguisetheirfailures.

The ink has not dried on the latestinspector general report— which unsurprisingly found these problems to be systemic — and outraged officials on both sides of the aisle have shown no hesitation in accusing the agency of conspiracy.

Yet in an era of oversight, these "gamingstrategies, "according todepartment offic ialsand veterans groups,arefar from novel. Indeed, multiple reviews have shown that they were just part ofhow one of the federal government's largestbureaucracies hasconducted its business for years.

In the wake of such incriminating revelations, critics will search for larger patterns of government failure, which arebecoming easierand easierto identify.

Halfwaymanrescuedafter4-wheeler wreck A Halfway man was hurt Saturday when his all-terrain vehicle rolled, struck a rockand rolled down an embankment.

Charles "Larry" Merriman, 77, of 48149 E. Pine Creek Road, left his home at 11 a.m. Saturday aboard his ATV, said Sheriff Mitch Southwick. Merriman had no food or water, and he has several health issues, his stepdaughter, Lea Peble, told authorities.

The Search and Rescue crew arrived about the same time the searchers found Merriman.They used the Search and Rescue Team's ATV rescue trailer to bring Merriman out to the trailhead where he could be picked up by Pine Valley Ambulance volunteers.

"The expectation is iBennettl will have office hours at the courthouse and spend at least two and half days here," Warner said.

Warner said the current political environment — regardinglocal,federal and state naturalresource issues — translates into a larger time commitment by elected leaders.

"The responsibilities for the commissioners are increasing all the time. Having one full-time and two quarter-time commissioners is probably not the most efficient way to do things," Warner said.

Bennett said Tuesday that in the 20-plus years he has been involved with the county he has watched the workload increase and the issues evolve from straightforward challenges into multi-tiered, complex problems that often involve more than one or two federal or state agencies.

"As we've become more and more engaged with federal issues it is taking up more and more time," Bennett said.

And, Bennett said, the most important element to his job — the voters — cannot be short-changed.

"Constituent service takes up a big piece. Finding solutions for people and then getting them enacted takes a lot of time. You have to be out there in order, I've found, to clearly understand what the issues are for folks," he said.

Bennett pointed to one recent example where a county homeowner became embroiled in a conflict with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Bennett eventually took a role in resolving the matter but it wasn't a simple process,he said.

"Ispent allday gettingthatresolved,"hesaid.

Bennett conceded times have changed since he first began to work for the county. ''When I first came to work for the county, 20 some years ago, the commissioners basically established policy, set the budget and oversaw department heads. Now it is economic development and human services. We are engaged in sage grouse, the forest plan, the BLM plan, the wolf plan, we have so many different activities going on thatare diverse,"he said.

We need to make sure we are making the right decision," Kee said.

Kee said while some decisions may seem to be easy ones, the long-term impact could be severe.

"If you just take the attitude, 'woe is me, we will neverbe able to sustain this,' I think that will come true.

But if you work at figuring out different ways to do things, I think we can come up with some good ideas," he said.

Kee said that over the years, talk of contracting out police duties in Baker Citydrifted acrossthelocal political landscape but he said he isn't sure there is widespreadpublicsupportof that plan.

"First of all, I don't necessarily believe there is a cost savings there and second of all I haven't heard many citizens tell me they thought that was a good idea. They like having a police department that works 24 hours a day that will respond to calls," he said.

Button said in his experience contracting out services is a hit-or-miss affair in termsofoverallsuccess.

'You know, it depends on the individuals you get.

The contracting stufFworks sometimes and sometimes it doesn't," he said.

LOS ANGELES — Although the Los Angeles Kings and the New York Rangers have played 41 combined postseasongames over theprevious six weeks, they still have ample energy for the big finale to their epic playofFchase.

"No, you don't get tired right now," said Kings forward Marian Gaborik, theformer 40-goal scorerforthe Rangers."All you think about is winning the Stanley Cup." When they meet at Staples Center on Wednesday night to begin the first New York-L.A. Cup final in NHL history, the Rangers and Kings are prepared for one more exhausting series in a spring filled with two-week sagas, nail-biting finishes and Game 7 heroics.

Five things to watch when the Kings host Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in franchise history:

and equipment. Climbers must wear crampons, spiked implements that give their bootstraction, and wield ice axes that help them arrest their slide down the mountain if they slip. They are often tied to their climbing m atesforsafety.

"It's like being on a stair stepperata steep angle for 10 hours, and that's for just a normal route," Grigg said.

Liberty Ridge, the route the ill-fated climbers took last week, "is one of the most difficult on the mountain."

Eric Linxweiler, a Mountaineers board member who has scaled Rainier several times, said climbers on the peak hear sounds like shotguns — rocks crashing down the fifth-tallest mountain in the continental United States. The eeriness is amplified by the time of

day.

"We doalmost allofour climbing in the middle of the night when everything is frozen," Linxweiler said."As the days get longer, every day the snow gets softer. As you're walking uphill, you're sliding. It's much safer to be on the mountain when the mountain is frozen.a

BIAZE Continued ~om Page1A "Itwas agood opportunity for some on-the-job training," Crippen said of the fire near Unity, which was reported Sunday.

Although thunderstorms aren't especially rare in early June, lightningrarely ignites forest fires because the ground remains moist from recently melted snow.

That a lightning bolt not only started the fire Saturday along the South Fork of the Burnt River, about six miles southwest of Unity, but that flames also spread into the surrounding forest, is tangible evidence that the area in southern Baker County"is unusually dry for this time of year," Crippen said.

'Tm hoping for some good June rains in that Unity counfry," he said.

The fire did have one advantage, Crippen conceded.

Itstarted in an areathat was logged a couple years ago, and there was an abundance of combustibles in the form of pitchy stumps and limbs, he sald.

The 12-acre sizeisabit misleading, Crippen said.

The blaze had burned about five acres when the La Grande Hotshots arrived Sunday. The crew used nearby roads as firebreaks, then purposely burned areas between the roadsand themain fire, Crippen said.

Saturday's storms, which spawned about 50 lightning strikes in the Unity and Sumpter areas, also sparked a

The role of county commissioners has become more intricatebecause offederalmandates and proposals regardingnaturalresources,he said.

"The workload has increased due to what we have to do to combat the federal government coming at us from all different directions," he said.

Opening up the forests for production, he said, is just common sense. t We all have the same goals. Let's cut timber and create jobs. Every single meeting I ever went to all agreed to that one point. Let's cut some timber and stop burning it down.

Everyone agrees to that, the Forest Service, the county, everybody," he said.

SCULPTURE Continued ~om Page1A ''When I began the auction people were asking'are licked salt blocks really art?' I hope people still ask that because it makes it that much more fun," he said.

The concept, he said, speaks to two facets oflife in Baker County — agriculture and art.

"It reflects the values of our community.

People here can identify more with a salt lick than they can with a computer chip," he said.

He also hopes the sculpture will be a curiosity to attract tourists.

Deschner "It is something light that also should pull people ofF the freeway and drop some dollars in town," Deschner said.

The bronze project, which cost a little more than $12,000, has been funded by selling commemorative bricks, which are still available to purchase for $60.

Historic Baker City Inc. is the nonprofit partner for this project. Checks can be made payable to HBC/Salt Lick and mailed to Jeff Nelson, Ford Leadership Cohort 4 Group, 1924 Broadway St., Baker City, OR 97814.

The Great Salt Lick The salt lick contest grows each year, and has been featured in The Oregonian, Oregon Art Beat and NPR's Weekend Edition.

This year's Great Salt Lick contest will be held Sept. 20 in Baker City.

To create an entry, simply set a salt block out to be sculpted by livestock or wildlife.

Rules are posted on the website saltlickcitycom.

LIGHTNING FIRE REVIVES Sumpter firefighters attending a drillTuesday night noticed smoke corni n from the site of a Sunday fire and found flames upon investigating, said Sumpter Fire Chief Kurt Clarke.

Clarke said the Forest Service originally responded to the lightning-caused fire Sunday when a tenth of an acre burned.

The fire rekindled in Tuesday in the heat and low humidity.

"We just did a smoke investigation and there it wasan actual fire," Clarke said.

Seven Sumpter volunteers and two Forest Service workers responded to the scene just west of Sumpter off Powder River Lane at 8:22 p.m. The fire burned less than an acre in light vegetation in the national forest about100 yards off private property. Firefighters worked at the site until about midnight, Clarke said.

No one was hurt.

The firefighters responded even though the fire was outside the jurisdiction of the Sumpter Fire Department.

"It was close enough to town that we're going to investigate," Clarke said. "Especially this year, when it looks like it's going to be bad for fires."

much smaller blaze about half a mile west of Sumpter.

A lightning bolt ignited a single free, and flames spread totheground,covering about one quarter of an acre.

The fire revived on Tuesday when temperatures rose and the humidity dropped (see breakout box story ahove).

Lightning wasn't the only firestarter over the weekend.

Members of the Powder River Rural Fire Protection District near Sumpter respondedto a pair ofcampfires that were left before they were out.

Both were near Phillips Reservoir.

One blaze burned about one

acre, the otherwa sjusta spot.

Crippen hopes the two human-caused fires will remind forest users of the new campfire rules that took effect Sunday on the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur national forests.

Beforebuildinga campireyou need to create afi f re pit surrounded by bare dirt or rocks, within a five-foot radius that's free of flammable materral and overhangmg branches. The rules apply to developed campgrounds and to dispersed campsites.

Congress spars over white spuds • Group of senators wants white potatoes, a major Northwest crop, included in the list of approved foods for the federal WIC program

By Rob Hotakainen McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Chris Voigt, who once ate 20 potatoes a day for 60 days in a row, says poor kids should have the right to eat more white spuds.

"The whole intent of the diet was to show that there's so much nutrition in a potato that you could literally live off of it,"said Voigt,49,the executive director of the Washington State Potato Commission.

With white potatoes under attack on Capitol Hill, Voigt is happy that his state's senators, Democrats Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, are on hisside,promoting one ofthe state's major crops in Congress.

They're part ofabipartisan group of 20 senators from 12 states who want white potatoes included in the list of approvedfoods for the federalSpecial Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

"I see some inconsistencies between the treatment ofdifferent vegetables, "said Murray, who got a $1,000 donation from the National Potato Council last year.

So farthe pro-potato members are carrying the day in Congress.

Last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee, of which Murray is a veteran member, approvedthe plan to include potatoeson a voice vote.

The House Appropriations Committee followed suit Thursday, voting 31-18 to include similar language proposed by Idaho Republican Rep. Mike Simpson.

The senators, including a half dozen who received financial contributions from the potato lobby, represent many potato-rich states: Idaho and Washington, which rank first and second in production, respectively, along with Texas, Kansas, Oregon, New York, Colorado, Maine, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Dakota. The proponents include Republican Sens.

Michael Crapo and Jim Risch of Idaho, John Cornyn of Texas and Jerry Moran of Kansas and Democratic Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet of Colorado and Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan.

Critics say kids already eat enough starch and need other fruits and vegetables, which is why the U.S. Department of Agriculture omitted white potatoes from its list of approved WIC foods four years ago.

It's an unusual position for some of the senators, including Murray and Cantwell, who are at odds with groups such as the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association.

have always liked watching team sports. Sometimes you don't even have to be watching a game to know how things are going. You simply have to listen. You can hear the winners.

In the summer of 1992, I heard Bill Clinton give his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

My gut feeling was that based only on what I heard he was going to be elected president that November.

At the conclusion of his speech, for the first time in my life, I did not hear "Happy Days Are Here Again," the theme song the Democrats had used since 1932.

I heard instead, "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" by Fleetwood Mac. It's an uplifting, fun song.

Last weekend I watched the movie "Million Dollar Arm," and enjoyed actor Alan Arkin play the part of a worn out baseball scout while the contestants threw pitches.

Arkin sat quietly at the tryouts, eyes closed. He told his employer that he didn't need to see the kids throwing the baseball.

He simply heard the best pitches.

I've noticed it is a whole lot more fun when the teams you cheer for, the teams you spend money on, the teams whose jerseys and caps you wear, are winning.

The question is: are you having fun in your business?

Drive, desire and effort count, but that is not enough to win consistently.

I've noticed that winning teams have fun. Losing teams don't.

Usually, when the owner isn't having fun, no one is. That is pathetic.

The sad part is that the owner is supposedtobesetting an example forall those who work in the company.

Why isn't the owner having fun?

Apparently, they have received some bad news. Or maybe it is a bad trend.

Itcouldbe a one-time thing or adecade worth of declining sales and profits.

Sometimes owning a business isn't fun. Owning a business should be something that brings joy to the owner and the stakeholders.

What's the slippery slope from laughter and happiness to sour looks and bad attitudes look like?

Itstartswhen the smilesdisappear.

Laughter becomes a scare commodity.

Then the owner disengages from the peoplethey are supposed to beleading.

Communication is forced. Decisionmaking grinds to a halt.

Isolation continues. It is already lonely at the top; by further reducing interaction and discussion, the leader literally shuts down all facets of communication with those he or she is leading.

Immediate results take on more importance than before. Anger is shown and heard more frequently.

Instead of admitting they no longer havepassion fordoing thejob oreven interestin doing the job the owners tell themselves and those who ask"I'm tired."

Maybe you've lost the passion, and the job is ho-hum; there is no excitement left. This is no way to lead people who are relying on your leadership.

One of my clients has been through business and personal hell these past few years, and one of the reasons he maintains a smile and a fiiendly outlook is because he knows what he likes to do and he spends his time doing those things.

The activities my client likes energize him; they make him laugh and he can feel the difference in himself and the impact this has on his team.

Only a few of us laugh as much as we should and if we are spending as many hours a week doing what we are supposed to be enjoying, we should be laughing and smiling a whole lot more.

Owners who carry around the weight of the world on their shoulders need to understand that smiling and laughter costnothing and arepriceless.

Whitbeck grew up in Portland, graduating from West Linn High School in 2003. After high school he attended the University of Oregon, majoring in philosophy and minoring in business and journalism. He graduated in 2007, and is continuing his education with online study of supply chain management.

He said he grew up with alpine skiing, was a racer in high school, and in college he took classes in wilderness survival. Opening the store here gives him the chance to combine his love for the outdoors with his business acumen. ''Afler college I was focused on a business career, but when I came to La Grande I saw the chance to reconnect iwith the outdoors)," he said.

Whitbeck said he hasn't had to do much remodeling of the space, which Blue Turtle vacated early this year.

Mainly, he's been installing racks and shelves and building displays.

He said his new store will be offering tents,backpacks,outdoorappareland a broadselection ofrelated gear like cookstoves,cookware,waterbottles, water filtration systems and more.

Whitbeck also plans to be buying and selling used outdoor equipment.

Whitbeck said he's working to make Blue Mountain Outfitters a place where outdoors recreationists can meet and share experiences. One corner of the store will be a lounge where people can soci alizeovercoffee,and beer and wine on special occasions.

Another feature will be a board where up-to-the-minute local outdoors recreation information will be posted, including weather forecasts and reportson thebestplacestogo.

New vehicle inventories tighten up

After a sluggish start to the year, auto sales came roaring back in May with General Motors, Chrysler, Toyota and Nissan all posting big gains.

Earlyestimates project the industry to have sold more than 1.5 million vehicles in the U.S. last month, up about 7 percent from May 2013. The strong sales — boosted by the five weekends in May and the Memorial Day holidayput car manufacturers on pace to sell over 16 million vehicles this year. Automakersareheaded fortheir best year since 2006.

"The industry is back to the level we expected at the beginning of the year," said Larry Dominique, executive vice president of TrueCar, an auto shopping company.

General Motors Co. dealers delivered 284,694 vehicles in May, up 13 percent compared with the same month a year earlier. It was the company's best May in seven years.

"May represents one of the strongest sales months of the year, as consumers take advantage of warm weather and the extended Memorial Day sales weekend," said Alec Gutierrez, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book.

Indeed, when you enter 8 room, things change - forthe betterorworse,and often permanently. You're not the kind to let things happen around you without participating directly insomeway.

FRIDAY, JUNE6 GEMINI (May21-June20) —You're nearing the midwaypoint of8journey that is only truly known to you. Your destination is 8 mystery, but8 clear idea is forming.

The National Weather Service said reports of extensive hail damage and flooding trickled in as storms pushed into Nebraska and moved into neighboring Iowa, where winds of up to 85 mph were recorded. Up to 4 inches of rain was expected in parts those states, which were the hardest hit. The storm also tracked across parts of Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota and Illinois.

"This is one of these days we can't let our guard down," said Bill Bunting, forecast operations chief at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.

Bunting said several trainedspottersreported tornadoes in central and southwest Iowa, and at least one report came in &om southwest Kansas. Reports will not be confirmed until damage can be assessed Wednesday morning.

Heavy rain and flooding were reported in the Omaha area of Nebraska, where dozens of residents were evacuated &om low-lying homes on the northeast side of the city. The Eppley Airfield airport closed for several hours.
