City Councilvoted to pass a resolution Tuesday allocating funds fiomits Police Reserve Fund account to its EmergencyEquipment Reserve Fund — a move several community members feared is the last chance of the city ever having a police deparlment again. The resolution allocated funds from several difFerent accounts, including the ElginOpera House restoration fund, a State Revenue Sharing fund, the Police Reserve Fund and a Water Tower Debt Fund. Each of the original accounts would be zeroed outand the money transferred to a similar but difFerent account. Former City Councilor Dick Miller raised concerns with the allocation, saying those funds were specifically to start a new police station if Elgin ever got to that point again. Currently, the city has a contract with the Union County SheriFs 0$ce. Miller said this takes away any leverage the city has for revamping the police department, and the sherifF's office can increase the amount the city pays for officers. Councilors Michelle Miles and Jeremy Richardsvoted against the resolution. The councilors also passed a marijuana ordinance — "a declaration of emergency... to preserve the public's health, peace and safety to the people of Elgin" — on to its second reading. The ordinance prohibits marijuana facilities, recreational marijuana producers, processors, wholesalers and retailers and processing or consuming marijuana or its products in public places or within view. The ordinance would also prohibit sales and deliveries of marijuana within Elgin. There was no discussion about the ordinance, but it passed unanimously to its second reading.

ODFW proposes rainbow trout fis ery improvement • The summer's fishing regulations would be lifted and anglers could keep as many fish as they catch pending plan approval By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

ENTERPRISE — To improve rainbow trout fishing in Oregon, biologists are working with the public to determine how best to manage stocked lakes and ponds. Kinney Lake, outside of Joseph, is on the list. Kyle Bratcher, assistant district fish biologist in Enterprise, in early May gave a history of the stocked pond, fed by irrigation water, that straddles two ranches off Tucker Down Road northeast of Joseph. Speaking at Cloverleaf Hall on the Wallowa County Fairgrounds, Bratcher said his research, digging through old journals and dusty commission reports, indicated that Kinney Lake was initially stocked with fingerling-sized rainbow trout in 1958, but that's only as far back as Bratcher could find information. Anecdotal information indicates that fish were in the pond since the 1940s including bullhead, a type of catfish that fish managers think compete with trout for food. The pond's water content ebbs and flows throughout the year, being at its fullest in spring with 210 acre-feet of water and drained down by irrigation in the fall to about 14 acre-feet. Fingerlings had little time to grow to legal size. awe switched to stocking legal-size trout in 1968, which is 8 inches," Bratcher said. Now, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife stocks the pond every other week during the summer months from its Wallowa hatchery in Enterprise. awe provide a consumptive fishery for rainbow trout— 5,000 legal-sized and 500 trophy trout and periodically a few steelhead smolts," Bratcher said. Jeff Yanke, Enterprise fish biologist, said

since the Wallowa hatchery is federally funded, the project is relatively inexpensive. aw e raise fish forthe costoffeed — it's a fraction of the cost than getting stock out of other hatcheries," Yanke said. On a "back of the envelope" estimate, Yanke saiditcoststhe state about $600 to $1,000a year to provide aput-and-take fisheryat Kinney Lake. Combatting non-native species led the statetochoose a poison to eradicate all fish in a selection of state-stocked lakes and ponds with a poison called Rotenone, a plant-based derivative that when released into a pond works its way into the fishes'

gills. Similar projects were done at Phillips Lake in Baker County,Diamond Lake in Douglas County and Twin Lakes in Deschutes County. Building on that success, Yanke said the state is looking to do the same to other stocked fisheries where nonnativespecies are competing with natives for food. Bratcher said Rotenone is derived from roots, seeds and leaves and isused in some partsofthew orld forfish collection.It'salso been used as an insecticide, but is certified organic and breaks down in two weeks. "It has non-toxic byproducts, not mobile in soils and has no bioaccumulation," Bratcher sald. Bioaccumulation is when an animal takes in toxins from another animal it eats, as is the case with DDT and mercury. Bratcher said there is no risk to animals that consume fish killed with Rotenone, and in testing it hasn't shown any evidence to cause cancer in humans. If the plan goes through, this summer's fishing regulations would be lifted at Kinney

Kinney Lake, northeast of Joseph, is home to non-native bullhead catfish. The state is considering eliminating the bullhead to make more room for rainbow trout Lake, allowing anglers to keep as many fish as they like. On Oct. 1, Rotenone will be applied in a miniscule amount, about four parts per billion, Bratcher said. What fish remain will be removed and in the spring of 2016, the pond will be restocked with rainbow trout. Bratcher said carcasseswillbecollected and disposed and the pond monitored to determine when the area is OK for re-entry. Kinney Lake is man-made and part of an irrigation system. One reason it is continuously stocked is because it doesn't have appropriate habitatfortroutto rear. Water temperatures get too warm and there are no fine gravels for trout to spawn, Yanke said.

James Nash, rancher and fishing guide, asked why they didn't consider stocking brook trout. Yanke said brook trout are not only nonnative, but they compete with bull trout, an endangered species. Yanke said there is a fear of brook trout entering into the Imnaha River, one of the strongholds for bull trout. Kinney Lake is on private land open to the

public. The water rights are owned by the local ditch company, so to get the external funding neededfortheproject,a little m ore than $2,300, Yanke said the landowners and the ditch company have to agree to the project. Bratcher and Yanke met with the ditch company last week present the proposal.

WASHINGTON — The record high American graduation rate masks large gaps among low-income students and those with disabilities compared to their peers. There are also wide disparities among states in how well they are tackling the issue. "This year, we need to sound a stronger alarm," said Gen.

Kevin Roberts works at an elite level of wrestling and has seen it all in his career. But oneofhisfavorite aspectsof his job is seeing grapplers, young or old, make strides in the sport. "That's what drives me to keep doing what I do," he said."It can be with kids or at the college level. But to watch a kid who was not able to do something at fi rst,to tw o days later being ableto master something — that's the most rewarding thing." With his lofty background, he should see plenty of feats conquered by his pupils this August. Roberts is this year's clinician at the Wallowa Mountain Wrestling Camp at Joseph High School Aug. 13-15, and he brings a wealth of knowledge to the camp. Roberts is a nine-year veteran assistant coach for Oregon State University, which just won its fourth straight PAC-12 title and finished 30th at the NCAA D1 Championships. During his tenure in Corvallis, Roberts has helped mentor numerous All-Americans and conference champions. Prior to Oregon State, he coached at North Idaho College and the University of Wyoming, and was the strength and conditioning coach at the University of Minnesota. He was a state champion at University High in Spokane, Washington, in high school. "I'm somewhat familiar (with Eastern Oregon wrestling)," Roberts said."Part of myjob is I have to track

Beverly Calder is celebrating 18 years of owning and operating Bella, a wine, food and kitchenware shop in downtown Baker City. Calder opened a second Bella store, on Adams Avenue in La Grande, in 2010.

OFFERING ALITTLE SOMETHING By Lisa Britton, ForWescom News Service

Beverly Calder wanted to make a life in Baker City, so shecreated a business niche for herself awine shop she — called Bella Eighteen ye.ars later, Bella is about much more than wine. Calder's stores — the original in Baker City, and since 2010 one in La Grande — are stocked with kitchen gadgets, cookware, bakeware, linens, dishes,specialty food items, local garlic, coffee, tea, local meat and chocolate. But the wine is still there, too — theshelves arestocked with bottles &om about 2,000 differentproducers. "Ihave to appealto everybody," Calder says."There has to be a little bit of everything." She's planning an 18th birthday bash at her Baker City store Thursday. Her vendors have sent merchandise for giveaways, and there will be product demonstrations all afternoon and drawings every15 minutes forgadgets, bakeware, cookware, appliances, gift baskets and gift certifi cates. Calder arrived in Baker City in 1993 &om Portland, traveling here with Bar-

bara Sidway, who came to see about restoring the Geiser Grand Hotel iwhich then was a mustard-colored run-down

building). "I remember turning on to Main Street," Calder says. 'The buildings were covered with plaster but it was still breathtaking." Itwould be fouryearsbefore Bella opened — that time involving some life changes and renovation of Calder's house, which was built in 1895. "That's what I did for four years. I restored the house," she says. Calder admits she nearly went back to Portland to stay. But Baker City had caught her heart. Plus, Tabor Clarke, a Baker City jeweler, had handed her a list oflocals who enjoyed wine. It was Calder's first mailing list. She'd been working at For All Seasons, which was

ENTERPRISE — Forest managementhas had many facessincethenationalforest system was established 110 years ago. Though the values are the same, how people communicate is changing. Karen Hardigg spent the last eight years working with communities in Alaska's Tongass National Forest on how best to manage the forest while representing a list of different values. Concerns about harvest sustainability and marketability were weighed against habitat values. Hardigg said the people who live in the Tongass saw the lawsuits filed on forests in the

Lower 48 states and wanted to avoid a fight so they met regularly to find a way to meet the most needs. In Alaska, with its vast natural resources and landscape, the practices are different,butthe concernsare sim ilartothose of people who live in the WallowaWhitman National Forest. "On the Tongass I worked to help partners think through the benefits and the shared values,"

Hardigg said. Historically, the Tongass' management focused on old growth. Now, she said, the forestislooking formarkets for second-growth timber, 100-yearold spruce, hemlock and cedar. "Insteadofwaiting for SeeHardigg / Prtge 2B

To start the next chapter ofher life, she wrote a business plan, rented the building attached to For All Seasons, and opened Bella on May 14, 1997. iHer first Bella store was in McMinnville. She chose the name by opening an Italian dictionary, and "Bella" which means "beautiful," was the first word she saw."It was perfect and captured everything I wanted my adventure to be,"Caldersays."Ithad magic, it was fun to say and it was very, very Italian!" This first location in Baker City was a cozy space. "It was itsy-bitsy," Calder says. She had room for the wine, then she filled the space with her own pottery and antique furniture. She baked pastries, held high teas and hosted a beer garden in the yard. "I did everything I could to

get attention," she says. Within two months she hired her first employee. She remembers when her confidence soared about her business venture. oWe sold 10 pounds of parmesan reggiano in a few weeks and I thought, This is going to work!' " she recalls. "People in Baker knew good

She rememberstripsto thatsmal lshop, which was open every day. When Bella had been open for four years, Calder went to visit Guido, whom she hadn't seen for 25 years. She told him about her own store. He didn't think it was quite perfect. SeeCalder / Prtge 2B

The passive aggressive business owner ight after I joined the com-

R pany, I realized the owner

was doing some strange things. Which made me believe he was, infact,strange. Monday through Thursday the dress code for men was suit and tie, and Fridays were "casual day." What did this guy do? Monday through Thursday he dressed casually; Fridays he wore a suit and tie. He later told someone he did this simply because he could. Once he walked into the hallway of the office, he stopped so everyone could see him and then began loudly sniSng the air. He did this several times, gaining attention, and then announced, to all those watching,"Smell the overhead around here! Smell the overhead!" Then he returned to his office. No explanation

BRAIN FOOD ICEN ICELLER was given; this was one ofhis preferred methods of communicating. When this owner got mad at someone, he refused to look into the eyes of that employee. I was clued in on this the first time I did something that upset him. Itwas up to me to guess what I had not done, or done, that got him angry. He never directly confronted anyone. Instead, he stored up his frustrati ons and letloose in front of a group. Even in that setting, he never specifically called out those with whom he was angry. People heard about their SeeKeller / Page 2B

KELLER Continued from Page 1B so-called offenses through the grapevine. The owner prefe rred to avoid directconfrontation. Apparently he never forgot or forgave any ofthese alleged transgressions,and hespent time getting "even" in some very small and petty ways. This gave him the feeling of superiority. After witnessing these odd behaviors, I nicknamed him "Psycho." I refer to my tenure at his company as "my time at the asylum." I've since heard from people who work there who want me to explain his behaviors and I respond by simply saying, "I think he is nuts." Now, when I meet with owners for an initial meeting, I identify possible passive aggressive behavior by assessing how the owner interacts with his or her employees. Once I get the CNN sound bite about the company, I inquire about human resources. It'sa fairissue;salariesand benefits are usually the single largest business expense category. In a business, employees can be the largestassetoritsgreatestbane.Whi ch category it falls into is usually a direct result of the owner's behavior. First, I ask about the management structure. If there is no published org chart, I assume that, essentially, everyone reports to the owner, which negates the role of all the managers on the payroll. Second, I inquire about the performance

BUSINESS 8 AG LIFE review system. If no such system exists, I determine that the owner decides who gets paid what, who gets bonuses and how much, who gets additional time ofE who can leave early and so forth, all based on whether or not he or she likes an employee. Yes, affection, not effecti veness,seems to mat termore to some owners. Third, I verify the actual management authority levels. I ask who has authorization to spend company money, to what limit and for what purpose. I sit quietly until the owner shares that there is only one person in the company permitted to spend "my money." No team exists with this kind of employer; it is a group of individuals sharing a single purpose: to get a paycheck. Nothing else matters and employees will do whatever it takes to maintain this income stream, to the extent that employees will fight each other to keep the money and to be in the good graces of the owner. As you read this, you may think that this column does not apply to you, and it might not. I am willing to bet that"Psycho" believes he is still the best owner on the planet because no one has ever had the courage to tell him differently. The owner who trusts no one will discover that their employees do not trust them. The owner who shows no loyalty will reap that in return. The owner who pits employees againsteach otherforfavorscan expectdisengagement, low productivity and anger. Do you want this to be your legacy?
