• Fish and Wildlife Commission meets Friday in Bend

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

Families may soon have a new option for how to pay for use of La Grande's Veterans Memorial Pool. The La Grande City Council and Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission are considering introducing a monthly membership fee that would automatically charge the user's credit card. The new system would eliminate the pool's 15- and 30day passes, which can now be used over any length of time. 'The difference is with the monthly membership. Each month it starts over whether you use it or not," said Stu Spence, La Grande Parks and Recreationdirector,of the proposed system at a work session Monday. ''We think this will give families a lower cost alternative" Spence said."This will SeeProposal / Page 5A

Ten years after the Oregon Wolf Plan was approved by the state's fish and wildlife commission, gray wolves have reached recovery goals and a process to remove them from the state's endangered species list is being proposed Friday in Bend. Russ Morgan, Oregon's wolfbiologist, said the Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan prompts the agency to delist when five criteriaare met thathave to do with the species' ability to survive. This winter, eight of nine documented wolfbreeding pairs had two or more pups. The plan says that if SeePlan / Page 5A

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT On April 22, 1915, the first full-scale use of deadly chemicals in warfare took place as German forces unleashed chlorine gas against Allied troops at the start of the Second Battle ofYpres in Belgium during World War I; thousands of soldiers are believed to have died.

ON THIS DATE In 1889, the Oklahoma Land Rush began at noon as thousands of homesteaders staked claims. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson opened the NewYorkWorld's Fair. In 1994, Richard M. Nixon, the 37th president of the United States, died at a New York hospital four days after suffering a stroke; he was 81.

The man who will lead easternOregon'slargest Guard unit on its most ambitious and important deployment since the war on terror boasts strong local roots. Lt. Col. Brian Dean, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment, was born and raised in La Grande and joined the Guard as an enlisted man and just out of high school. He said his goal, as an 18-year-old, was a simple one: Find money for college. "I joined the battalion in 1992 once I realized I would have to take out all loans for my college education," he said. Dean said his short-term decision to find a way to pay for collegeproved tobe beneficial. "I have now served 22 years. The military paid for most of my bachelor's degree, all of my master's degree and has provided me an opportunity to live adventures most peopledream of, "he said.

GUEST EDITORIAL

i eosmus remain in ic view Editorial from the Albany Democrat-Herald:

A key piece oflegislation regarding the use of cameras worn by police oKcers is due for a hearing this week at the Legislature, but the bill still whifs on a critical point.

As we have noted before, the bill (House Bill 2571) gets some important matters correct: For example, it makes it clear that police agencies are not required to purchase these video systems. The bill does require agencies that purchase the cameras to establish policies and procedures for the storage and retention of video and audio recordings. The big storm over the bill is over the issue of whether the public should be allowed to access the videos made bypolice oKcers. We think the answer is relatively dear: Police actions are public actions, and records of those actions should be available for public review. But the bill itself and recent amendments will make it nearly impossible for members of the media or the public to access the videos. Since one of the primary aims of equipping police oKcers with body cameras is to increase public confidence in law enforcement agencies, making the videos oA'-limits to public scrutiny would seem to be counterproductive. As it is now written, the bill indudes police videos in that dass ofpublic records that simply are exempt from disclosure. In fact, of the 10 pages in House Bill 2571, more than six merely list various types ofpublic records that members of the actual public cannot access. The bill does specify certain conditions under which the videos can be considered public records, but those are vague enough to be oflimited use. For example, the recordings can be disclosed if every member of the public who is being recorded consents, in writing, to the disclosure. As a practical matter, that's not ever going to happen. In cases in which the video captures a law enforcement oKcer using force, the bill says the recording can be disclosed, if"the public interest requires disdosure of that particular recording."That clause means well, but it still gives plenty of cover for a police agency or a prosecutor inclined not to release any video. These are issues that can be fixed with a bit oflegislative tinkering. We encourage the House Judiciary Committee, which is scheduled to work on the bill this week, to do just that. But the tinkering should start with the idea that the videos are public records instead of assuming from the first that they're ofI'-limits. •

ommuni c u ome of the best and brightest young people in the world live right here in Union County. For me, it's a pleasure to work with them in different capacities and to see them excel in academics, athletics, activities and leadership in each of our communities. It's also exciting to see them reach for their potential and provide me with examples of determination and hard work. Unfortunately, in too many cases, some of our youth are derailed from achieving their potential because of involvement in substance use and abuse. Without trying to sound melodramatic, I can say with conviction that lives are in the balance, and we can't afford to lose any one of them. With this in mind, I urge you to take a strong interest in the culture of our communities. Use of alcohol,tobacco and drugs lillicit and prescription both) all too often sidetracks kids into paths that are difficult to recover from, and if nothing else, costs them valuable opportunities and time in their formative years. A culture of acceptancefor these things that'kids are bound to experiment with" undermines the high expectations we can and shouldhave forourchildren,and sets the stage for unhealthy risk-taking among teens. What some consider a natural part of growing up, others work long and hard toavoid.To acceptteen substance use simply because some think it's part of growing up, part of what kids their age do, is to cave in to low expectations — a culture of acceptance that only erodes our ability to say no, to watch vigilantly, to address a problem before

itarises.Please consider fora m oment those individuals in your life who have been negatively impacted by substance use and abuse. My own family's life has been profoundly impacted by an individual who chose to use alcohol and then drive. And in my lifetime, I've known far too many teens killed or severely injured in accidents attributed to drug or alcohol use. Research shows that most adult substance abuse begins with that"harmless" experimentation in the adolescent years, and I would argue thataddictions arefarm orelikely tooccur in those who take a casual approach to substance use. With several high school proms nearing, Union County youth have an opportunity to make a fun, healthy, memorable experience become a lifelong memory. My plea is that parents, business owners and community members

will go out of their way to influence the choices made in the next few months so that none of these nights end in tragedyorregret.Positive,substancefree choices will lead to memories for a lifetime, and that is what we want for our kids.

Choices are what it's all about. What I am saying is that what we as a community believe and hold important affects how our youth make those choices, and our culture of support and concern and high expectations will help them make better choices.

'The factors that got us to this stageby ourplan are alsothose factorsthat supportthedelisting process," Morgan said."The guiding principles ofour planning process allow us to use the flexibilities needed while still providing conservation." The Wolf Plan divides wolf management by a north/south line along Highway 97 on the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range. 'The split east and west happened because 10 years ago the commission and drafters of the plan predicted that wolves would occupy the easternside ofthestate before the west," Morgan said. State biologists figured wolves would be coming from Idaho and work their way west. ''We split the state to provide flexibility in management while providingneeded conservation," Morgan said. More wolves means being more flexibile. The existence of seven successful breeding pairs in Eastern Oregon and one in Western Oregon follows what the plan expected to happen — wolf populations

bers were first calculated in 2009. Morgan said Phase III is the final phase of the plan. "Phase III is looming somewhere down the road, and it assumes wolves are delisted. It would be hard to implement Phase III if wolves were listed,"M organ said. ''We are in Phase II, and it is that period of time in which we are supposedtodelist." He said there won't be a substantive, immediate effect in Eastern Oregon because it is already in Phase II, meaning wolf management won't change drastically if wolves are delisted, but delisting is an important part of the threephase process. 'The strongest message is the east/west prediction coming true," saidMorgan, "butthereare still conservation measures even in Phase II." On April 24, Morgan will present a biologi calstatusreview,thefi rst step in the commission's consideration to delist. There will be no decision nor rulemaking at this meeting.

Grimes was one of nine applicants for the position. Dianne Greif, principal of Stella Mayfield School in Elgin, said Grimes received high marks from fellow educators for his ability to connect with students. "He has a good relationship with kids. He is well liked by students," said Greif, who will become the Elgin School District's superintendent July 1 while remaining Stella Mayfield's principal. Grimes said the key to connecting with students is getting to know them. "It is important to understand them in ordertobesthelp them. Itallgoesback to showing them that you care," the educator sald.

Even with different phases of management in Oregon, the state will work with the commission to decide whether to remove wolves statewide from the endangered species list. "A really important part of the plan is to maintain conservation in western Oregon and provide those flexibilities where there are a lot more wolves," Morgan said. Phase II of the plan is not a great deal different than Phase I, Morgan noted, but it does pave the way to delist.

changes to update the city's ordinance regulating conduct in city parks. A draft of the new ordinance discussed by councilors and members of the Parks and Rec commission details a number of language-rel ated updates and clarifications. The new ordinance also includes languagethatprohibitsthe use oftobacco"or any other herbaceous material" at parks. The updated ordinance also addresses conduct specific to Morgan Lake, including days of operation. Historically, Morgan Lake has opened its gate on the first day of fishing season. Councilors on Monday advocated opening the lake the day before to allow families the opportunity to camp at the lake before they go fishing. Other changes to the ordinance include limiting camping at Morgan Lake to seven days, reduced from 14 days. Spence said that change was added because of a transient problem at the lake.

STUDY Continued from Page1A common and familiar pesticides used now were found in all water basins of the state. According to the DEQ report, the mixture of pesticide in water basins oftenstoodabove thestandard for aquatic health set by the Environmental Protection Agency. The herbicide diuron, the report said, was found in all but one of the 15 water basinsinvestigated. The study also pointed out that"legacy"pesticidesare also present in some water basins of the state. Legacy pesticides are pesticides such as DDT or dieldrin that are no longer in use or have been banned. According to the report, in some areas legacy pestici des were recorded at levels above state human health standards. Other elements potentially harmful to human and aquatic health were also discovered. Levelsofm etals, such as copper and lead, that are harmful to aquatic life were found across the state but mostly in the densely populated Willamette Basin. Flame retardant chemicals were found in water basins in both rural and urban areas of the state. Combustion byproducts were detected at levels above state human healthstandards in several areas as well. Arsenic and inorganic arsenic were discovered at levels above state human health criteria mostly in EasternOregon and in Oregon'scoastalinlets,according tothereport. Pillsbury said to some extent the results from the study were not a surprise. "It is not completely unexpected," she said,"but we need to be conscious."

NYSSA, ONTARIO STUDENTS GET FEEL FOR UNIVERSITY, EXPLORE

Stepping on to a university campus for the first time can be an overwhelming experience,especially if you are a grade school or middle school student. Grade school students from Nyssa and Ontario, however, are becoming less intimidated by one university setting thanks to an event that is on its way to becoming a tradition.

At the time, Pine Eagle officials said they conducted the drill to see how many of the school's stafF would survive an onslaught.

'You're dead," the gunman said,and stalked out,according to the lawsuit.

Pendleton hosting Blue Mountain Safety Conference Employers and workers are invited to attend the annual Blue Mountain Occupational Safety and Health Conference in Pendleton. The event is scheduled for June 2 at the Pendleton Convention Center and will highlight a variety of safety and healthtopics. Oregon's Occupational Safety and Health Division, a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, encourages employees and employers to attend this event to help improve safety and health performance. Strengthening the workplace safety culture contributes to reduced injuries and accidents, and decreased workers' compensation costs. Keynote speaker Keith Bardney, senior director of safety at ConAgra Foods, has spent most ofhis career in various businesses sharing coaching techniques with front-l ine supervisors and other strategies that bring about real change. His leadership skills have produced worldclass cultures with safety as a value, not a priority. "As a manufacturing leader himself, Keith knows how to change the game of 'safety first' to safely producing a quality product efficiently and injury free,a said Tony Campbell, director of safety for ConAgra Foods."Help your front-line leaders begin to guide all employees toward working safely for themselves instead of for you." Conference registration is $65, which includes lunch and session handouts.

Wolves vs. livestock an economic issue in Oregon By Craig Reed Roseburg News-Review

Ever since the grey wolf was reintroduced into the U.S. in Idaho and Montana in 1995, there has been concern by livestock owners about predation on their animals by the four-legged canines. In the years since, as the wolf population has grown and ex-

I'm no slouch when it comes to being impatient, but when I compare myself to some of these folks, you can clearly see I am in the slow lane. Last week I wrote about having a strong second quarter. In my column, I provided five steps to plan and get started down the path of success. What I did not address was the mindset and tools owners need to make achieving goals a reality. The first is to spend less time planning and more time executing. General George S. Patton said, "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week." As an example, too many owners fall into the trap ofhaving long, ineffective meetings. There

BRAIN FOOD ICEN ICELLER is nothing wrong with, and many things right about, having short stand-up meetings. There is nothing wrong with telling sales people that they must schedule their first out of the office appointment to be held by 8 a.m. and that they aren't welcome back into the office before 4 p.m. And, the time spent in-between is to be with clients, prospects or referral sources. The second is to focus on profitability.

WOLVES Continued from Page 1B 77 wolves in 15 packs. Confirmed livestock depredation by wolves for 2014 in the five states was 172 sheep, 140 catt le,fourdogs,a horse and adonkey.In Oregon,it was confirmed that 30 sheep and two cattle fell prey to wolves last year. W hile wolves arereportedly not consistently roaming the Cascade Mountains of eastern Douglas County, biologists and livestock producers in Douglas County are anticipating they soon will. "I expect wolves in the county consistently within the next 1.5 to 2 years," said Dan Dawson, a sheep rancher in the Glide area and chairman of the Predator Control Committee for Douglas County. Michael Burrell, supervisor of Wildlife Services

for Douglas County, said a breedingpairofw olves in the southern Oregon Cascades had three surviving pups a year ago, and different wolves have been confirmed in the Keno area a few miles west of Klamath Falls and near the California-Oregon border. Most of Oregon's wolves are in Eastern Oregon, having crossed the Snake River from Idaho. John Williams, a longtime Oregon State University Extension Service specialist in Wallowa County, gave a presentation on those wolves at the recent Douglas County Livestock Association's annual Spring Livestock Conference. "My job is to help make agriculture successful in the area I deal with," said Williams, who has been studying Oregon's wolves since 1996.'We must deal with issues such as wolves. For some ofthe livestock produc-

North Slope Resources Co., a local agricultural operation, aims to spend its grantaward on a projectto use local low-value biomass to addvalue to and diversify its agricultural operation in North Powder. Sheldon Hetfernan of North Slope Resources said his company will use the funding to do a feasibility study on using small wood productsto run afarm-sized heat and power plant. The byproduct, biochar, could be used as well as a soil amendment. 'There is a potential to use biochar to improve soil quality by reducing water needs. We are looking for benefits to increaseproductivity and reduce costs," Hetfernan said.

it's OK to fail, as long as you have the guts to try. "I let them get out there and do it. I'm totally fine with them making mistakes," Green said."That is more valuable than having me micromanaging the planning system the whole way." The class is not part of the school system, and there are no grades. She saidthe focus ofthe classishaving the confidence to try an idea and learn &om that. ''What they all learn is that they can create a money-making opportunity for themselves," Green said. Shepherding Wallowa County's entrepreneurs as high school students whetted Green's appetite for the next step — matching young people with internships. She fostered Lynn's internship with Wallowa Mountain Properties that parlayed into a position with the firm. She said she'd like to expand on that success with more young people. She said there are businesses that need accounting, finance, sales, marketing, computer science, operations and management. She said nurturing those skills with high school students and young graduates could help businesses to grow and expand. "Companies want to grow and they need that skill set, but recruiting is diKcult. I would love to be involved in that," Green said.

ers, the wolves are causing a greatdealofeconomic impact,and a largergroup of people are slowly beginning to feel that impact." Williams said that for the past few years, the wolf issue has been the most discussedsubjectin coffee shops and other gathering places in Wallowa County, and not just by ranchers. "As a scientist, wolves are the most magnificent animal I've run across," he said.'They have a social structure ithe pack) that is so much like ours, it scares you. They learn fast. But the closer people live to wolves, the less likely they are to feelpositivetoward the species." Williams said that while there's no documentation of resident wolves in Douglas County, the animals have probably passed through. 'The reality is there are probably wolves all the way in between iwestern and

eastern Oregon)," he said. Williams said wolves are a political issue, but he has stuck with facts, statistics and research in his study

of the animal. A $434,000 grant from the Oregon Beef Council has helped in the study. Animal tracking collars have been put on cows in Oregon that are not in wolf territory and on cows in Idaho where wolves do reside. Cattle movements have beenmonitored by the collars and results compiled since 2009. The study has also included marking an area with wolf urine, using speakers to emit howling sounds and having large dogs in the area to see how the cows react.

Los Angeles Times

CATANIA, Italy — European leaders are struggling to find a solution to a desperate surge of Mediterranean m igration that appears to have claimed more than 1,500livessofarthisyear,as poverty and war drive people to risk their lives on rickety, overloaded boats. Any likely answer, however, could be years in the making. "The main issue here is to build together a common sense of European responsibility on what is happening in the Mediterranean," Federica Mogherini, the European Union foreign policy chief, told reporters in Luxembourg on Monday.'There is no easy solution, no magic solution." Offtcials fear as many as 700 people may have perished late Saturday or early Sunday when a boat packed with Europe-bound migrants, mostly from Alrica and Asia, capsized in the waters between Italy and Libya. Italian authorities announced late Monday that the captain and a crew member of the migrantsmuggling boat, who were among 28 survivors pulled from the Mediterranean Sea, had been arrested on humantrafft cking charges. Even as Europeans absorbed the sobering news, more boats filled with migrants sent distress calls fiom the Mediterranean on Monday, and authorities said the Italian navy had picked up another 440 migrants fiom four boats, while Italian police picked up 93 migrants at sea. Some observers suggested
