UNION COUNTY

PLANS FOR NEW COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Tim Mustoe/The Observer

Trial Court Administrator Michelle Leonard demonstrates how difficult it is for a judge and jury to see past the foundational pillars in the third floor courtroom as courtroom security officer Reed Waite watches. The pillars, unlike the others in the building that are made from poured concrete, run from the basement to the attic and stand in very inconvenient spots in the third- and first-floor courtrooms.

Union County is one step closer toward construction of a new courthouse.

County commissioners on Wednesday unanimously approved a $2.4-million contract with Mike Becker General Contractor, who was previously selectedas the design-builder forthe project.

Becker was one of three contractors identified after a Request for Qualifications was sent out earlier this year.

The county received proposals from all threeofthosecontractors and selected a design by Becker with the help of See Contract / Page 5A

While Shelter From the Storm supporterscontinued to raise their concerns to county commissioners during the public comments portion of their meeting this week, comments also shifted toward financial responsibility this week.

Lois Barry of La Grande said she did the math on elevator maintenance, which the county estimated to cost $1 million over 50 years. Barry said her calculations brought the figure closer to

WASHINGTON — Eric Holder, America's first black attorney general and an unflinching champion of civil rights in enforcing the nation's laws, announced his resignation Thursday after leading the Justice Department since the first days of President Barack Obama's term. He is the fourth-longest-servingattorney general in U.S. history.

Holder, the administration's point man on the civil rights investigation into the police Holder sh o oting of an unarmed 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, won't leave until a replacement is confirmed, which means he could remain in office for months.

Senate Republicans signaled they were preparing for a confirmation fight after yearsofbattleswith Holder.

SaidSenateGOP leader Mitch McConnell: "I will be scruttmzrng the presldent's replacement nominee to ensure the Justice Department finally returns to prioritizing law enforcement over partisan concerns."

In an emotional ceremony at the White House, Obama called Holder"the people's lawyer" and credited him with driving down both the nation's crime and incarceration rate — the first time they have declined together in more than 40 years.

'Through it all, he's shown

a deep and abiding fidelity to one of our most cherished idealsas a people,and thatis equal justice under the law," Obama said.

Holder responded by speaking ofhow he was inspired as a boy by Robert Kennedy's leadership on civil rights at the Justice Department, his voice choking as he expressed his thanks to Obama and his own family.

'You got through it," Obama could be heard telling Holder See Holder / Page 5A

People are back in Badgley Hall at Eastern Oregon University following an evacuation Wednesday afternoon.

At about 3 p.m. Wednesday, EOU security responded to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife offices in Badgley Hall where a sulfurlike odor was reported, accordingtoa university press release. The odor, which was originally strong, dissipated within several hours.

Security recommended a voluntary evacuation of the offices, and a room-to-room investigation was conducted.

The university's HVAC technician and campus electrician have determined the HVAC units in the building are working properly. ''While we have not located a source, the odor has dissipatedand isnolonger noticeable," Tim Seydel, vice president for University Advancement & Admissions, said."Badgley Hall is clear and safe for occupants."

Seydel said there were no reports of injuries in the situation and that the university continues to monitor the situation.

The evacuation came as the university welcomes students back to campus for the upcoming school year. Classes begin at EOU Monday.

PORTLAND — The Northwest has led the nation in wildfires so far this year.

Citing federal statistics, The Oregonian reported Thursday that the number of wildfires in Oregon and Washington is down — 3,270 — but the area burned is more than any other region of the country — a total of nearly 1.3 million acres, which is about 2,000 square miles.

That's fewer than the 10year average of 3,877 fires, but nearly triple the 10-year average of 452,039 acres, about 700 square miles.

Nationwide, the 40,115 fires burning 3,027,795 acreswas welloffthe 10year pace of 59,689 fires and 6,639,145 acres.

Wl Editorial from The Bend Bulletin:

The federal Food and Drug Administration has made it oKcial. Common sense prevails when it comes to the use of spent grains, a byproduct of commercial beer brewing. And, while the rules have yet to be finalized, it apparently will improve the rules regarding dry onions, as well.

Local breweries run through huge amounts of barley, which is mixed with hot water to obtain wort.

Spentgrain,as much as 80 pounds ofthe stuffper barrel of beer, is leR behind and must be disposed of, and brewerssellit tolocalranchers as livestock feed, a win/win relationship for all concerned.

All went well until the FDA began overhauling the rules governing food safety several years ago. It proposed rules that would have made it too expensive to use the spent grain as animal feed, and Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, and other members of Congress pushed hard to have the rules sokened.

The agency got the message. It will not require the onerous rules it had proposed, according to Andrew Malcolm in Walden's oKce. Meanwhile, Michael Taylor of the FDA noted recently that brewers already must meet human food safety standards, so there's no need for more.

That's a reasonable approach to what could have been a serious problem for both brewers and their spent-grain customers.

As for dried bulb onions, which are grown on some 26,000 acres of Oregon and Idaho farmland, again, the agency seems to be moving in the right direction.

An earlier proposal would have required growers to meet impossibly strict clean-water standards, despite a growing body of scientific evidence that shows the process of curing, leaving harvested onions on the ground for a time, removes any harmM water-borne bacteria.

What's been proposed would allow the agency to take that reality into consideration in setting cleanwater standards for dried onions. The proposed new rules are in the public-comment stage, and no further action on them is likely until next year.

In both cases, the FDA has been willing to look at reality before making proposed rules permanent. It's a common-sense approach to something that will, in the end, be good for Oregon agriculture without being bad for anyone else.

nterin en orsement season sthecalendar creeps itsway tow ard October, it'stim eto face facts — the general election is nearly here.

At The Observer that means it is time foroureditorialboard to startformulating our endorsements, which is never an easy task. Despite that, endorsements remain, in my opinion, a key duty for a newspaper.

The endorsement process — and to a larger extent the editorial process as a whole — may seem like some nebulous process to the average reader. For example, I personally will not frame and write all of the endorsements. They will be a collect iveprocess.PublisherKari Borgen will have as much, if not more, input on editorials than I do. Endorsements will also be fashioned through input from reportersand othersatTheObserver.

Then that leaves some questions like who is on the editorial board, what will we endorse and what is the process?

All valid questions, and, I think, sometimes those of us inside these walls can take for granted that readers know how the process works. But many do not.

Our endorsement process is pretty flexible in terms of whom or what issue we choose to comment on. We endorse at the local level.

For example, for the upcoming election, the editorial board will set criteria for what we think is in La Grande's best interestand based on those criteria,we w ill decide what candidates are best qualified to help the city reach those benchmarks. It's a pretty straightforward process.

The same holds true at the county level. What issues does the county face

FROMTHE EDITOR'S DESK ANDREW CUTLER and which commissioner candidate can help solve those issues? Again, pretty straightforward.

At the state level, we will focus on races oflocal interest and we will also highlight some of the more important measures and weigh in on those.

We will not endorse every race or measure — both locally and statewide — for one reason: time.

We are, by virtue of our size, in a fairly small box when it comes to doing endorsements. The time factor playsa key rolebecause I,as editor,do not simply get to make the call all by myself.

The editorial board consists of individuals from the newsroom lthough it doesn't always have to) who have some knowledge regarding the issue or the candidate, with a fourth individual to make the final call. The three individuals from the newsroom are myself, News Editor Kelly Ducote and Go! Editor Jeff Petersen. Although, Ducote will not take part in the endorsement process on beatsshe covers— forexample,the La Grande city council.

During this election season, it is our plan to meet with the candidates from the races we plan to endorse and ask them the questions we believe will help us make an informed decision based on our criteria. Once we meet with the candidates, the editorial board will convene again and discuss which one we think is

Endorsement schedule The Observer's schedule of endorsements for the upcoming November election: Monday:Measure 88 Wednesday:Measure 91 Oct. 3:Measure 92 Oct. 6:Oregon U.S. Senate race Oct. 8:Oregon U.S. Congressional race Oct. 13:Gubernatorial race Oct. 15:City of Union Oct. 17:Union County commissioners Oct. 20:City of La Grande Oct.22:La Grande schoolbond Oct. 24:City of Elgin Oct. 27:Oregon House District 58

best for La Grande, Union County, etc.

In the end, Borgen acts as our fourth, de facto, member. Sheactsasa tiebreaker if the three of us cannot come to a consensus.

The newsroom will handle the endorsements exclusively. Though we welcome input from all areas, at the end of the day, endorsements are a newsroom mission and always should be.

Our endorsement cycle starts Monday with Measure 88, which would require the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles to grant to persons "who cannot prove legal presence in the United States" a special state-issued identification called a driver's card.

At the end of the day, our views are simply our opinion. In the end, it is up to the voters to make the final decision. As it should be.

County commissioners on Wednesday approved a contract with Mike Becker for construction of a new county courthouse. They, along with judges and court staff, had previously selected a design by Becker, seen above, for the courthouse.

CONTRACT

settled in court, with two judges saying the building is county property and the county is jree do what it wants with it.

Both West and Dretke commented at the Wednesday meeting, saying they supportthe selected location and stand by their preference for a one-story courthouse rather than a two-story building.

Early in the process, a two-story facility was discussed, but judges and court stafF testified in January that a onestorybuildingispreferable fora variety of reasons.

"I understand some members of the community — many of those who are afFtliated with Shelter From the Storm — they question our reasoning and mistakenly attributed the one-story preference to the commissioners. Actually, it's the judges," Dretke said.

One major reason the judges want a one-story facility is because of efFtciency, a problem they have dealt with since moving into the old Joseph Building in the 1990s. Currently, the staff is spread out on multiple floors of the building.

Service desks must beaccessed by different entrances depending on what one is looking for.

Dretke said the judges'judicial assistants have many other duties.

"In other words, my judicial assistant does not have the luxury of working solely for me and chasing down files that I'm going to need for a hearing," he said."Under these circumstances, there is no configuration of a two-story courthouse which will be efficient.n The judge said claims by some that

Continued from Page1A court stafF and Judges Russ West and Brian Dretke. The contract is well within the $3.1 million budget for the project.

County commissioners stressed prior to the Wednesday vote that if they miss the Oregon Judicial Department's Oct. 1 deadlineto have a contractorin place and submit a plan to the state, the $2 million in funding allocated by the state could be in jeopardy.

"It's a process, and the process has to continue because of the money we have designated by the Legislature," said Commissioner Bill Rosholt."If we don't move forward, the Legislature can change their mind and say, 'Union County will not receive this money."'

Rosholt said before the vote that they don't want to disrupt any services but do want to move quickly to ensure the county receives the funding.

"I think all we're trying to do is move that iprocessl as expediently as we can without disrupting anything," he said.

"As we've suggested from the start, we don't want to see the shelter disrupted."

Commissioners have faced criticism from residentsbecause the selected site of the new courthouse necessitates the demolition of the Shelter From the Storm AdvocacyCenter,a 16-year-old building built with the help of a Community Development Block Grant. Legal issues regarding the center have been

FORUM Continued from Page1A to the construction boom in the United States following World War II, according to Chris Panike, the school district's business and operations manager. Buildings during this era were constructed quickly and often with low-grade materials.

'There was a building frenzy," Panike said."Many of the buildings were not built with good quality material and they were built quickly."

Panike said this is evident at Central where parts for the school were not built with efficiency and long-term maintenance in mind. The school's heating system is a good example. Central's heat comes fiom LaGrande High School in underground pipes that run under thick concrete, making them almost inaccessible since they have no crawl space. This is a big problem now that Central's pipes are feeling the impact of Father Time.

'They are under concrete slabs. The pipes are 60 years

page. time consuming. It would be cost prohibitive."

Central is also hurt by a roof that has no attic, which means energy-saving insulation cannot be put in efFectively. Central is also hurt by its old windows that are far jrom energy efficient.

Willow, by contrast, is holding up better than Central even though it is three decades older because it was built during a time when

other Oregon courthouses are multistory is misleading. ''While courthouses in other jurisdictions may well be two-story buildings, every single one of them has all of the court operations on a single floor — stafF and courtrooms, they're all on a single floor," Dretke said.

Safety is also a concern of the judges, who say they are only provided one security ofFtcer.

'Vulnerability is increased by the inevitable delay in responding to a differentfl oorfora com bative ordisruptive person," Dretke said.

West echoed Dretke's sentiments and urged commissioners to sign the contractahead oftheOct.1deadline.

"I support the one-story courthouse.

It's theonly acceptabledesign because of safety, efficiency, cost, parking and aesthetics, all those factors,"West said."Given alltheoptions,that'swhereitneedsto go.

I know it's made a lot of people unhappy, but let me say this: We've been working on this for six years, we've had a plan."

West said he sees no reason to ask for an extension jrom the OJD because there are many other courthouse projects in line for funding. cWe've been through the planning. We don't want an extension. We don't want to get involved in analysis paralysis.

We've studied this,"West said.cWe just want to get this done."

buildings were soundly built, Panike said.

The last time local voters passed a school bond for maintenance and capital construction was in the mid1970s when voters approved one for the construction of La Grande Middle School, Island City Elementary School and a major west addition to La Grande High School.

A number of items the bond was to pay for were not coveredbecause ofa lawsuitfiled aftervotersapproved thelevy, said Paul Dalgliesh, a former member of the La Grande School Board in the 1970s who spoke at Wednesday's forum. The lawsuit delayed the startofconstruction for about a year. Dalgliesh noted that by the time construction couldstart,priceshad gone up so much that items for the new buildings, including air conditioning for second-story

classrooms in the high school addition and the middle school, thatweresetto be purchased with bond funds, had to be cut fiom plans.

Today, without air conditioning, theseclassrooms heat up significantly in the spring and late summer.

Dalgliesh also said that plansforconstruction ofthe Island City Elementary School had to be scaled back because of the building delay. Island City Elementary was originally designed to have a kitchen and more classrooms than it has today, Dalgliesh said.

Four decadeslater,the

$31.85 million bond the school district is now seeking issetto pay forsome ofthe items lost by the lawsuit delay, including air conditioning for portions of the high school and middle school, a kitchen and additi onalclassrooms at Island City Elementary.

In a speech earlier this week, Holder described the dualperspective he brought to the job and how it applied to the Ferguson shooting, in which a young black man was shot and killed by a white policeman. He said he had the utmost respect forpolice asaformer prosecutor and the brother of an offic er.But,headded,"As an African-American man who has been stopped and searched by police in situations where such actions were not warranted, I also carry with me an understanding of the mistrust that some citizens harbor."

Holder told The Associated Press in an interview that he's not sure whether the Justice Department will finish its investigation into the shooting before he leaves.

"If you asked me what m y biggest regretwas, I would say that it was the failure to pass any responsible and reasonable gun safety legislation after the shootings in Newtown," Holder said. He said he

$900,000 and that's a serious miscalculation," Barry said."I'll give you the benefit ofthe doubt and consider it an honest error."

Still, Barry said that should be enough to be granted an extension by the Oregon Judicial Department.

Suzanne Goodall of Imbler said her concerns lie in the fact that she doesn't know what the community will be getting and the contractoralso served as architect and building supervisor.

"Idon'tseea form of supervision for quality or materials, and I think that lacks the kind of oversight that we'd like to have on our public buildings and of our services," she said.

Goodall spoke again following testimony jrom the judges, saying this is not a shelter versus courthouse issue to her.

"I didn't come for either ofthoseorganizations," she said."I came because I don't want my county to waste money. I don't want a 16-year-old building to be torn down no matter who is in it. I want a decent courthouse built that will be safe.

This Sunday, the La Grande United Methodist Church will meet at 10 a.m. to hear Pastor Steve Wolff as he examines the story of the Exodus. In his sermon, "Sucks to be You," he will illustrate how Moses learned to work in conjunction with God — a lesson we also must learn and implement.

Lanetta Paul will provide organ music, and the newly revitalized choir will sing. Prior to the service, coffee and fellowship is available. Following the service, all are welcome to share in a potluck. The community is invited to come see what"Open Doors, Open Minds, Open Hearts" really means.

Haines was the ideal test site, Dalton said, because it's easier to install the alarm while a building is being renovated or repaired.

The district installed the alarm system at Brooklyn late this past spring, and in the other schools over the summer.

The alarm at Brooklyn was inadvertently activated at 8:40 a.m., said Sheila Thompson, 911 Center director. The school was determined safe about a half-hour later, but the scene was not completely cleared until 10:23 a.m., Thompson said.

Elgin's Aria Higgins goes up to attempt a kill shot past Cove's Reagan Carreiro (8) and Morgan Reddington (3), as Stormy Bullard looks on Thursday.

After winning the first set, Cove volleyball head coach Darcy Carreiro called a timeout in the second with Elgin readytohave two setpointswith a 24-22 lead.Carreiro told her girls they just needed two points, then they could worry about the rest of the set. She also wanted to make sure senior Taylor Little took over.

"I told Hannah (Hulse) during the timeout, Taylor is on tonight, you have to feed her the ball,' and she did that," Carreiro said.

As a result, Little won the next two points with a tip followed by a strong kill shot. At 27-all, Hannah Hulse made a successful kill, then her twin sister Hailey slammed home the winning point, keying a 25-22, 29-27, 25-14 Wapiti League win over Elgin Thursday at home.

Eastern Oregon head coach Tim Camp knows his team must start quicker Saturday than it did in its previous game.

The No. 21-ranked Mountaineers got back to their winning ways against Montana Tech last Saturday with a 39-13 victory.

Even with the victory, however, Camp was not impressed with the beginning of the Mounties'

first Frontier Conference road game.

Eastern spotted Tech a 7-0 lead, allowing a touchdown on its opponents first drive. The Mounties forced a Tech safety midway through the first quarter, but did not score offensively until 8:38 left in the second quarter.

The first loss of the season for Wallowa did little to dampen the team spirit.

Enthusiasm is still sky-high for the Cougars in their most successful season in years.

Wallowa opened its season with a 50-8 drubbing of Ione on the road, and followed it up with 32-0 shutout against Condon/ Wheeler in Condon. The victories doubled the number of wins the program earned over the previous two years when the team went 1-15.

'The kids are really excited," head coach Matt Brockamp said."Some of them obviously haven't had much to cheer about the last couple years. That first game against Ione, we jumped all over them right away.

Kids were laughing and joking around on the sideline, saying, 'Man, it's so much fun to play football.'They're really excited about what we're doing."

The rejuvenation even extends to practices.

Most athletes view afternoons with calisthenics and hitting drills as a necessary evil. But for the Cougars, it's been part of the enjoyment this season.

'They're even excited about conditioning," Brockamp said.cwe're trying to make that a staple of the program. After the first half of the first game, when the other team was tired, they realized that this actually works.

NEWYORK (AP)The end of an era.

The perfect script.

Derek Jeter capped his Yankee Stadium farewell with a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning, the latest — and perhaps laststorybook moment of his charmed and illustrious career, to give New York a 6-5 victory Thursday night over the Baltimore Orioles.

Serenaded with adoring chants that echoed through the Bronx night, Jeter tipped his cap several times and drove in three runs.

Connors put Eastern ahead 9-7.

From there, the Mounties scored two more touchdowns and added a field goal to push the lead to 25-7 with three minutes left in the third quarter.

TIGERS Continued ~om Page 8A Chad Smith said team defense went back to basics in practicethisw eek. aWe've been working all week in practice to make sure the kids are all lined up in the right spots," Smith said."Everyone has to know their job and which gap they have to cover."

Smith also said the Tigers are focused on establishing a strong running game.

"My goal is to run first and I haven't been doing a good job of that," Smith said."I'm going to run the ball. If we have to get the guys some subs, then that's what we'll do."

Through three games played, junior running back Ray Jimenez leads the Tigers with 157 yards on 30 carries with one rushing touchdown. During Friday's loss to Weiser, Jimenez ripped the ball out of Weiser kickreturner Ty Johnson's hands, then ran it back for a touchdown.

Quarterback Brandon Dall leads the Tigers with three rushing touchdowns atter running for one in all three games to start the season. The senior signal caller is

Wallowa took its lumps last Saturday in its first loss, a 50-8 defeatto Crane in Baker City. While there was a massive disparity in the score, it wasn't a typical blowout where one team can't move the ball.

Two starting Wallowa defenders got dinged up on Crane's opening drive, and the Mustangs proceeded to march down the field for a 7-0 lead. Wallowa responded with a 90-yard

35-for-69 with 609 yards passing and six touchdowns with one interception.

"I've been telling Brandon to keep taking what the defense gives him," Smith said. aWe've been preaching that every week."

The most effective playmaker for the Tigers thus far is wide receiver Andrew Peasley. The Ireshman has enjoyed an impressive start to his high school football career with team highs in receiving yards

i284l and touchdowns ifourl.

Though his offensive involvement was limited in the first two weeks, senior wideout Drew Hively finished with a team-high seven catches in the loss to Weiser, including two catches in the opening drive.

"Drew catches just about everything we throw to him," Smith said."He's going to catch it and give us positive yards."

Smith said the team's preparation process will not change to play away Irom home. Headded that hehasadded some offensive wrinkles into the playbook for the Madison game, but is also saving some for when the Tigers begin Greater Oregon League play Oct. 10 at home against Baker.

"I want them to go out and have fun," Smith said."It's a no-pressure deal."

drive sparked by a strong running attack. The Cougars had a first-and-goal at the 2-yard line, and running back Chandler Burns appearedtocrossthe goalline on the ensuing play, but was ruled just short. ''When I watched it on tape, Chandler's feet were in the end zone," Brockamp said."It looked like he scored, but I guess they ruled the ball wasn't in.

On second down, we jump otfsides, and we goIrom second-and-half -a-footto second-and-five or six."

Brockamp hopes that the Crane loss can serve as a learning tool as the team tries to develop a killer instinct that was lacking in

years past. aWe need to learn from it," he said on the loss."The kids believe in what we're doing.

Itwasa realeyeopener for the kids playing a well-disciplined team.

They realized they came out flat, and they need to play more physical. But they know they can play with that team."

The Cougars travel to Echo tonight to try and improvetheirrecord to 3-1, still with a bounce in their collective step. aWe just have to keep staying positive and play to win with mentality that you're going to have more physicality than the guy in fiont of you," Brockamp said.

In the third set, Cove took immediate control, winning the first four points. The Leopardsnever letthe Huskiescome closer than two points to tying the set.

"I think that we should have been able to bounce back," Elgin's Stormy Silver said.

Miah Slater led the Huskies with 12 kills, while Silver had eight kills and six blocks.

Gentry said the Huskies have to serve more consistently after making 12 serving errors. aWe've been drilling serves all week, but we clearly have some work to do," Gentry said.

Cove's Reagan Carreiro said her team should have been more aggressive early on. aWethought we could wait for them to make mistakes and waited for them to make errors, but we just have to make it happen ourselves," Reagan Carreiro said.

The Leopards maintained their momentum coming otf a Helix Tournament title on Saturday in spite of Elgin's fast start in which Aria Higgins unleashed a spike to put the Huskies up 4-0 in the first game.

Nike's Knilhtpicks Kitihmder • Chairman contributes to Democrat in governor's race

By Taylor W. Anderson WesCom News Service

SALEM — Phil Knight, co-founder and chairman of Oregon-based Nike, has

given $250,000 to Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber's campaign for a fourth term.

The donation is a political win for Kitzhaber and a reversal for Knight, who backed Kitzhaber's Republican challenger Chris Dudley

The U.S. Forest Service saidThursday that it is extending the period for the public to weigh in on a proposal that would make permanent new rules and permit fees for commercial video and still photography in federally designated wilderness areas.

cash contributions.

In the race for governor, Kitzhaber faces Republican challenger Dennis Richardson,a state representative, and ahandful ofm inor party candidates in the Nov.

ForestService saysmedia SEATTLE — Faced with increasing criticism of a proposalthat wo uld restrict media filming in wilderness areas, the head of the U.S. Forest Service said late Thursday that the rule is not intended to apply to newsgathering activities.

The rule would apply to commercial filming, like a movie production, but reporters and news organizations would not need to get a permitto shootvideo or photographs in the nation's wilderness areas, Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell said in a phone interview Thursday.

'The U.S. Forest Service remains committed to the First Amendment," he said, adding: "It does not infringe in any way on First Amendment rights. It does not apply to news-gatheringactivities, and that includes any part of news."

Forest Service officials had said earlier in the week that news organizations, except in breaking news situations, would be required to obtain a permit and follow a number ofcriteria ifthey wanted to film in designated wilderness areas.

At least two public TV sta-

tions, in Idaho and Oregon, said they have been asked to obtainapermit before filming their programs in wilderness areas. Press advocatescriticized the proposed rules as a violation of the First Amendment, saying it raises concerns about press freedom.

"I understand what he's saying the intent is, but the language doesn't not reflect that intent," Mickey Osterreicher, generalcounselfor the National Press PhotographersAssociation,said Thursday in response to Tidwell's comments.

"If they're serious about it, they need to craft unambiguous language that exempts news-gathering if that's their alleged intent, so there's no question that someone out on a news story wouldn't have a ranger or other employee saying You need a permit'," Osterreicher said.

Osterreicher noted that the proposalclearly refersto permitsfor stillphotography, but Tidwell said Thursday that"the intent is not for it to apply to still photography."

When this discrepancy was raised to him, Tidwell said: 'This is an example of where we need to clarify."

In 2012, Knight doled out contributions of $2,500 and

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, right, shown at a July debate with Rep. Dennis Richardson, has picked up a $250,000 campaign contribution from Nike co-founder Phil Knight.

the U.S. Senate race in Arkansas heated up this summer,Mark Pryor found himself under attack from his opponent with a nasty — and inaccurate — ad claiming that the Democrat had supported giving Social Security benefits to people who hadforged identitiesto work in the U.S. illegally. In Georgia, Democratic candidate Michelle Nunn has been fending off charges that she is "pro-amnesty."

And here in New Hampshire, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen saw her re-election race tighten after Republican Scott Brown launched a barrage of adsfaulting her 2010 vote for the DREAM Act, which would have granted legal status to some young immigrants.

Earlier this month, President Barack Obama acceded to pleas from a number of vulnerable Democrats to delay until after the November election his promise to use executive power to transform the nation's immigration system. Though the delay angered some activists, many Democrats in tight races were relieved, hoping that his announcement would cool some of the heat of an issue that could energize the GOP base, particularly in states with low numbers of Latino voters.

But Republicans insist that immigration remains a potent issue in many contested Senate races. The president, they note, merely postponed his threat to use

Though it is Republicans who have stalled immigration reform in the House, they believe Obama's delay has given them a new opening to attack Democrats — for addressing issues affecting Latinos only when it is politically convenient.

Potentially at stake is control of the Senate, which Republicans will seize if they gain six seats.

Days after the White House announced the delay, Brown laced into Obama and Shaheen in his primary night victory speech in New Hampshire, faulting their "failed policies on immigration" for the surge of unaccompanied minors who came across the border from Central America. iHe did not mention that the law encouraging unaccompanied minors to seek refuge in the U.S. passed under President George W. Bush, a fellow Republican).

• Number of fawns shows deer numbers should be up this year

i fg h., )I ,

By Jayson Jacoby WesCom News Service

Deer hunters in Baker County are looking forward to this fall as always, but they also ought to look back, and with gratitude, to last winter.

Notwithstanding a frigid stretch in December, it was a benevolent winter by the county's standards.

The beneficiaries included buck deer.

And, presumably, those who will hunt them during the season that runs from Oct. 4-15.

Statistics reflect the relative tranquility of the winter, said Justin Primus, assistant district wildlife biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Baker City office.

The most telling of those statistics is the number of fawns that biologists see during their aerial census each spring.

Fawn survival from fall to spring reflects the severity of the winter because fawns, in general, are more likely to die during a harsh winter.

Not many perished during the 2013-14 winter in Baker County, Primus said.

The ratio of fawns per 100 adult deer was higher than the previous spring in each of Baker County's four units — Sumpter, Lookout Mountain,Pine Creek and Keating.

The good news for hunters is that about half of those fawns are yearling bucks this fall.

Those bucks, which aren't as wary of people astheirfathers and older brothers are, usually account for about half the deer harvested each fall in the county, Primus said.

An easy winter isn't the only factorthat' sboosted Baker County's buck population, though.

In 2013 ODFW, concerned about declining numbers of bucks, reducedtag totals,Primus said.

The tactic paid off with buck numbers this spring higher than the year before in three of the county's four units, and equal in See Baker/Page 6C

The fall season for deer hunting in Baker County promises to be improved from last year, based on a higher ratio of fawns this previous spring. In Union County, hunters will want to head to high ground, as lower precipitation levels have driven deer to upper elevations.

Deer seeking greener pastures

By EncAvissar WesCom News Service

The Oregonrifl edeerhunting seasonis set to begin Oct. 4.A11 public buck rifle hunts in Northeast Oregon are controlled hunts that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife manages.

According to ODFW Union County District Biologist Leonard Erickson, unless there is significantly more rainfall between now and the hunting season, deer will likely gravitate toward areas of

high elevation.

"This year has been very dry," Erickson said."In lower elevation's it's been bone dry. Upper elevations are still green. Deer populationstend to gravitate toward green forage. That's the highest quality and best condition for them. Any place that has moisture, stream bottoms, slopes, private land that has irrigated fields will attract bigger deer."

Erickson added that the

ODFW has had problems with people hunting on private land and urged those who wish to hunt on private land to attain the owner's permission beforehand.

"Every year, people hunt on private property without permission,and that' snota good legal situation," Erickson said.

n this column, I'm going to talk in generalities, not absolutes. As a general rule, you'll find elk up higher and deer will be a little lower. On the other hand when hunting in Colorado they have some nice timberline bucks, but as a general rule, you'll find m ost of thedeera little lower than elk.

So let's get started. You'll see alotofdeerifyoujust take out hiking but you're going to also spook a bunch.

What will work better is to get up high and glass. To glass you're going to have to use good optics. Unfortunately, all glass is not created equal.

So fi rst,let'scover optics.

There are a hundred different optic companies out there. I suggest buying from a reputable company such as Leica, Leupold or Bushnell.

They are all good companies.

I used to recommend 8-by-42 binocs but years ago I decided that I was just missing way too much game so I started using 10-by-42s.

You'll also want a spotting scope. You'll be surprised how many more deer you will spot. Glass across the mountain, drop down 50 yards and scan back. In the middle of the day look under the sage brush and see if a buck isn't laying under them.

A lot of times you'll find them on top of ridges. Elk and deer like to be up where they can see danger coming.

A couple of years ago, a few of us old-timers had drawn some tags in a draw-only unit. We saw three deer hidden under the brush 600 yards ofK Twenty trucks and 4-wheelers drove by while we were glassing and they never budged. So anywhere you see some good brush, glass.

OK, so now you've spotted a deer. What next? Now you have to plan a stalk. You'll want to have good camo and you'll want to mask your scent with some good scent cover spray and then I like to wear some HS Strut elk urine scent wafers. Thegl cover your scent and if you make any noise he'll just think an elk is moving in.

But even with good scent cover, it's still best to play the wind. No use giving them the upper hand. After you spot him take a minute and plan an attack. From which direction is there the most brush, rocks and ridges to sneak up behind? Hopefully they are situated so you can play the wlnd.

Hunting: A $13 million business in N.E. Oregon

• Hunters are a vital clientele for many restaurants and other businesses in Northeastern Oregon

By Jayson Jacoby VVesCom News Service

The picture of the deer hunter sleeping in a bed roll besidethe embers ofhis campfire long ago passed from commonplace to nostalgia.

The modernhunting camp is as likely to have a camper with satellite dish and maybe even wi-fi.

But even though technology has enabled hunters to bring most of the conveniences ofhome out to the woods, certain traditions persist.

A bunch of hunters heading tothe nearestdiner to get a stack of pancakes before the day's hunt, for instance, or some thick burgers after.

Modern hunters are more self-contained than their forebears, to be sure.

But they still need to eat.

And maybe they run short of ammunition, or a branch gashesa favoritejacket.

And hunters who travel from more than a few counties away almost certainly will need to refuel their rigs at least once.

All told, hunters bring a welcome economic boost to Northeastern Oregon, and during an opportune period between the summer tourist season and the holidays.

Kristi Hensley, who owns the Inland Cafe in Baker City, said hunting seasons, starting with the archery season in late August, in effect extends her restaurant's summer season through October.

"Octoberisprobably one of our best months," Hensley said.cWe do see quite a few people in camo."

She said most ofher hunter customers live outside Baker County.

As an indication of how important hunters are to the drive-in, Fuller said she closes the restaurant in midNovember, when most of the major hunting seasons have ended.

Kevin Logsdon bought York's Park Grocery in Baker City almost two years

ago.

Logsdon's business caters not only to hunters' appetites but to their hobby as well — the store sells a variety of outdoor equipment including clothing, guns, arrows and camping gear.

"Everybody buys a little bit of everything here," Logsdon said."Hunting season is

very important. It's definitely a positive thing for me."

Logsdon said he started openingthe store at5:30 a.m. instead of 6 a.m., in parttotake advantage of hunters who tend to get going before daybreak.

Loretta Wallace owns The Blue Banana, a coffee shop in Lostine with a distinctive exteriordecor of,naturally,a large blue banana, but also a blue Volkwagen Beetle that appears have driven straight into the restaurant and gotten stuck there.

"I do see some hunters through here," Wallace said.

"It's not a huge amount, but it's a plus. I definitely wouldn't want to see hunting seasons go away."

Wallace, whose restaurant alsoserves fruitsmoothies, cinnamon rolls and muffins, said she figures many hunters make coffee at their forest camps.

But she also gets a minor boostin business from local hunters who stop by for a cup on their way to the mountains.

Molli Angelos, owner of the White Horse Cafe in Elgin, saidher restaurant relieson hunters.

"Hunting season is honestly about my best time of year,"Angelos said.cWe look forward to it. It's a major boost to my business before the winter slowdown."

But the relationship is more than purely a business one, said Angelos, whose family has owned the cafe for more than 15 years. cWe have families that come back every year — fathers and sons, grandfathers, and we really get to know them," she said.

A 2008 study commissioned by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Travel Oregon found that hunters spent almost $13 million in Baker, Union and Wallowa counties that year.

The study, done

by Dean Runyan Associates, estimated hunters that year spent $1.4 billion in Oregon.

Estimates for Northeast Oregon counties:

UNION $5.43 million BAKER $4.52 million WALLOWA $2.77 million The full report is available online at www.dfw.state.or.us/ agency/economic impact.asp

The influx of customers isn't limited to the rifle deer and elk seasons in October and November, either.

On an early afternoon in mid-September, Angelos said about one-third ofher customers so far that day had been archery hunters.

Regardless of the season, Angelos said she can count on hunters to bring big appetites.

'They love to go out and eat," she said."Lots offood, and they'r ereally big tippers.

They're just great customers."

The chukar, a type of partridge, is a popular upland game bird in Northeastern Oregon.

Baker diologist dullishonchukar

By Jayson Jacoby mfesCom News Service

This probably won't be a memorable season for chukar hunters in Baker County.

Which isn't necessarily a negative.

Last year was memorable for the wrong reason — some local bird hunters said they got skunked in places that had previously produced birds consistently.

Following one of the more dismal chukar seasons in the pastcouple decades,the 2014 version looks to be a moderate improvement, said Justin Primus, assistant district wildlife biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish

and Wildlife's iODFW1Baker City offtce.

"I think it11 be better than last year," Primus said."It's definitely not a great-looking year, but I'm sure hunters who put in the effort will find birds on every trip, just not as many as they might be accustomed to."

Primus is referring here not to last year but to a few years ago.

Chukar populations, based on ODFW's admittedly imprecise surveys, hit a decadelong peak in 2009. That summer, ODFW biologists, during theirdrivingtourofsome of Baker County's best chukar habitat, counted 54 birdsper 10 miles traveled.

The past two summers that figure was just 21 birds per 10 miles.

But even though this summer's count was identical to last summer's, Primus believes hunters will fare a bit better than they did in 2013.

For one thing, although the overall numbers came out the same, Primus said he saw a few groups of chukars that included 10 to 12 good-sized chicks.

That suggests the birds had a successful first nesting season during the late spring. %hen chukar chicks are smallerthan averageit's likely that the hens' first brood failed — a stretch of cold, wet weather can easily kill the delicate chicks — and they had a second brood later in the year.)

artificially low count. aWe always miss some birds," Primus said.

The curious aspect of this summer's results being identical to last summer's, he said, is that biologists at ODFWs Ontario office reported a 150 percent increase in chukar numbers in Malheur County compared with last year.

Considering that Malheur County has endured a more severe drought than Baker County, its neighbor to the north, Primus said he's skeptical that Baker County chukar numbers haven't increasedatleastmo derately from 2013.

Statistic saside,there are otherfactorsthataffectnot only an individual hunter's trip,butalsothe season as a whole.

Weather, in particular.

Last year there was relatively little snow during the season, which means chukars weren't concentrated at lower elevations, Primus sald.

A coupleofbig storms early in the winter could reverse that situation and drastically improve hunters' results, he said.

As for other upland game birds, Primus said ODFW biologists counted more California quail in Baker County this summer than last — 10 birds per 10 miles traveled compared with just three birds in 2013.

ODFW doesn't count rooster pheasants, but they arerelatively rarein m ostof Baker County.

Bird hunters should enjoy a much more prosperous season than last year at Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area.

Missing hunter found dead WesCom News Service

The Columbia County, Oregon, sherifFs office says a missing bow hunter has been found dead.

The sherilfs oflice says a familyfiiend helpingin the search located the body of 37-year-old Jon Hill of Hillsboro shortly after5p.m. Tuesday.Theman was found more than am ilefiom where deputies located his pickup truck on Sunday afternoon.

Undersheritf Andy Moyer says authorities delayed public notification until positive identification could be made and relatives could be notified.

There was no immediate word on a cause of death.

The sherifFs office says Hill failed to return from hunting Saturday night, and his family said they last heard &om him in a phone call Sunday morning during which he sounded disoriented.

Columbia County searchers, as well as five other sheritfsoffi ces,search and rescue groups,state police and the Oregon Air National Guard joined in combing a rugged area otf of US Highway 26 and Timber Road.

You knew and blasted out of the desert southwest like space shuttle, back when therewas stilla space program, back when light-speed travel seemed possible, and when hopelessness appeared as a black hole you hit the accelerator and blasted through that, too. You woke up in the Rockies, which stretched south to north and back again, with tail-water atter trout river after pike and carp river running &om their grinning peaks.

The plains were fiuited and un-fiuited. Fly lines furled and un-furled. Lakes and reservoirs dotted the landscape. Here! Fish here! The Rockies rose up like big trout billboards. But you, you still knew further on to the west there were steelhead.

And it is the anything that is a something called a steelhead that you wanted to catch more than anything else that brought you back to the basalt steeped canyons.

You know some things you didn't know a decade ago: about traveling, dry washes, and trout billboards. And so you submerge into the fall and winter and spring with only one thing on your mind.

And every last cast is another chance. And on your 15th last cast, in the nervous plunge of a rock strewn run, you feel a heavy thunk, your line tears otf the reel, and you know you are finally home.

THE HUNT Continued from Page1C They are just setting there looking, so you'll have to stay concealed and move slow. Many times there will be more than one deer, even though you may only see one. So you may have multiple sets of eyes watching.

You don't want to get busted by a deer that you didn't )$ even see.

What caliber of rifle is the bestfordeer?Ha, that'd be a whole article in and of itself, and we'd probably all still be arguing when I was done.

As a kid I used cheap bullets but once in a while they just didn't conform. I remember one year I hit a deer and an antelopeperfectly,and both acted like that I had completely missed.

This may sound basic, but to get a big buck, you're going to have to pass on some smaller ones. As a general rule, the further away from bucks you will see. Which brings up the next topic.

You'll have to bone him out and pack him out. Unless you have horses, you'll have to use a backpack. I've been testing a lot of Slumberjack backpacks and like them.

Hunters will have to walk on sun-dried grass and brush, which makes it tough to sneak up on a buck.

"It will be tough for stalking," Primus said.

At higher elevations, though, there's will a fair amount of green forage, as well as water sources that deer probably won't stray too far from.

An exception to the green forage abundance is Lookout Mountain, the lowest of the county's four units.

In addition, Erickson also presides over the south Wenaha unit, the south part of Sled Springs and some of the Eagle Cap wilderness.

For those who want to hunt larger game, Erickson saidthe remote areas present the best opportunities.

"If you want a remote hunt that's a little harder to getto,I'd say some good ones are Eagle Cap Wilderness or the north end of the Wenaha unit," he said.

"If a hunter wants to go into back country, they can go thereand fi nd decent numbers."

He added that Starkey is a better unit for those who want to take their pickup truck and go camping.

"Starkey is easier to maneuver through with more roads and easy access," he said."Catherine Creek can be in between with low elevations and easy access but also upper country that can provide a mix of upper elevation wilderness and the accessibility of lower forest hunt and a more actively managed forest environment."

With the season fast approaching, Erickson said those taking aim must be very careful with how they move.

"I would suggest that unless we get significant rain, hunters will need to hunt

Continued ~om Page1C third and fourth choices, the results were submitted in mid-June.

Erickson, who presides over the Catherine Creek and Starkey areas, said the ODFW sets a management objective of 15 bucks per 100 doves to provide enough bucks to breed for the following hunting season. Last year, the ratio in Catherine Creek was 17 bucks per 100 doves, while Starkey was right at the management objective at 15 bucks per 100 doves.

"In Catherine Creek, the buck ratio is good, the fawn ratio isgood towards the harvest, however the overall numbers areless than half of what we want," Erickson said.

While Catherine Creek is short of the management objective for the ODFW's overall numbers, the deer population in Starkey is currently sitting at the ODFW's desired overall standing.

could bode well for hunters

The Wichita Eagle

WICHITA, Kan.— The irstarrow passed justover f the buck's back, a result of my bad range estimation in the Cowley County canyon.

I have no clue into what county, or even area code, I fired the second, third or fourth arrows.

Though decades ago, I remember being totally rattled.

My entire body was shaking.

Normally-stable arms had turned to jello.

Several times, my tugging and twisting pulled the arrow off the bow's rest. My skills were gone and I simply fired the bow wildly as soon as I hit full-draw.

Five minutes after my Waterloo in 40 years ofbowhunting, I was still quivering so badly I couldn't climb from the tree to lry and collect my arrows.

At least when it comes to buck fever, I'm far from alone.

My fiiend Ed Schulte, one of the few hunters who will share their embarrassing stories, tells of emptying his dad's .30/30 when some does passed during his first season. Unfortunately„Ed kept forgettingto pullthetrigger and simply levered every round from the rifle without firing a shot.

Ten years ago in Clark County, comedian Jeff Foxworthy found himself looking at the biggest whitetail he'd seen. On a small buck, and about 27inches wide, the antlers looked like they belonged on a bull moose.

Eventually getting a green light from a cameraman, his first shot kicked up dirt severalyards from the bewildered buck.

He later said he had forgotten to look through the rifle's scope when he pulled the trigger. Unlike my bowhunting debacle, Jefl"s second shot was perfect.

The start date for hunting season could bode well for deer and elk hunters this year.

Most season dates are based on the deer rifle opener which is always the Saturday nearest Oct. 1.

Seasondatesfollow a cycle in which they progress one day earlier each year and then"jump" a week later, starting the cycle over again. This year's start date is the latest in the cycle iOct. 4, compared to Sept. 28 last year).

'This means reduced chance of fire impacting your season but more importantly the leaves will be off the treesand the bucks will be feeling rutty by the end of the season," said Brian Wolfer, Oregon Department of Fish and

The sight of a trophy buck, like this big mule deer photographed a few weeks ago in western Kansas, has put many hunters into a serious case of buck fever. Psychologists say it's an excitement that comes from man's long history of being a predator.

AS OLD AS MANIGND As a bowhunter of 36 seasons, John Simmering knows the feelings ofbuck fever.

With a doctorate in psychology, he also understands its cause.He said it'sfarfrom just a modern malady.

"It's part of our hunter/ gathererhistory,a stress response," said Simmering, of Hesston."Over 95 percent of our history as Homo sapiens we were hunters, but also prey when we were dealing with lions and tigers and bears.

It'sourbrain getting our body ready to run like heck and jump on something and kill it, or run like heck to keep from being eaten."

Even with the ease of get-

from other functions not needed at the time, such as appetite and digestion.

Historically, the surge of hormones led to someone maybe jabbing a flint-tipped spearinto a giantcavebear with a little extra power and speed. The latter of the two could certainly be handy if the hunter needed to out-run the understandably infuriated bear.

Occasionally such adrenalin charges still save some human lives, like when fighting in a combat situation or escaping a potentially deadly situation — such as kicking the door off a burning car with super-human strength.

But for the modern hunter, toooften that energy isleft with nowhere to go. Simmering said that's when too much arousal can occur and the body ends up with the shakes and/or fast breathing.

Wildlife iODFWl district biologist in Springfield.

For most of Eastern Oregon, summer has been extremely hot and dry. Early season hunters will need to focus on areas with good forage and water and should expect animals to be more concentrated by water sources.

However, early summer rains produced forage later than usual so"the body condition of animals should be excellent," said Brian Ratliff, district wildlife biologist at the ODFW office in Baker City.

For bear hunters, dislricts in northeast Oregon arereporting some ofthe best berry production they have ever seen.

Newgear advice fromaneeert t

conduct seminars at a lot ofthebig sportsshows,go to theSHOT Show and get to testnew gear fora lotof the major outdoor companies.

Here is some gear I think rifle hunters would like.

• Swab-its. In the course of a week you may get rained/ snowed on. Swab-its makes some cool foam swabs to not only run down the gun barrel

but also gike Q-tipsl to hit hard to reach spots so your gun doesn't rust up.

• Backpacks. You'll need a daypack for hiking and a heavy duty pack to pack out your game. I've been testing a lot of Slumberjack packs.

• Calls. It's important to learn to use a call. If you can call animals to you that's the same as covering more ground. It doesn't hurt to hit a cow call every 50 yds. even if you're deer, moose or bear hunting. That way if you make noise thegl think it's an elk walking along.

• Decoys. As far as ease to carry, Montana Decoys are the best for us hunters out west. We can't carry a 30 lb. decoy up and down the mountains.

• Range Finders. Leupold and Bushnell had a lot of cool new RFs on display at the Shot Show this year. They offer simple point and click options on up to systems that calculate for your individual caliber and declination.

• Ammo. Hornady has a new Whitetail line of ammo thatisdesigned for deer/ antelope and Super Performance GMX for elk, moose and bear.

• Boots. For milder weather Irish Setter came out with a waterproofbootcalled the Vapr Trek. It is an 8-inch boot but is light as a pair of tennis shoes. My wife, daugh-

BASE CAMP TQM CLAYCQMB ter and I have been testing them this summer backpacking/hiking and we love them.

• Hiking Socks. If you've never tried them, test out a good pair ofhiking socks. You won't believe how much better your feet will feel. Some people carry an extra pair and change at lunch. That'll make you feel like a million bucks.

• Even though it's been around a while I love AdventureMedicalKitfootcare products. I always carry one of their moleskin kits.

• Flashlights. If you hunt until the last second you'll need a good flashlight to get back to camp. Night Ize and BSA have some cool ones that I've been testing this year.

• ThermaCELL makes agreatmosquito repellant unit. They also make a Heated Insole if you're cold fourwheeling, snowmobiling or riding your horse.

• Hearing enhancement.

When calling use Pro Ear ear muffs so you can hear far-off animals answering.

• Knife Sharpening. To learn to sharpen your knife go to Amazon Kindle. I have an e-article titled Knife Sharpening ipretty original

O~on Department of Fish and Wildlife lake and river fishing report GRANDE RONDE RIVER The Grande Ronde River is open for steelhead.

A few steelhead have been caught; however, the bulk of the run is still a few weeks away. Flows are currently low, but there is still the opportunity to fish a few holes using different techniques. Bass fishing will still produce, however success rates will likely slow with falling tempertures.

Remember, only adipose-fin clipped trout may be retained and all bull trout must be released unharmed.

IMNAHA RIVER The Imnaha River is open for steelhead as of Sept. 1. Some steelhead may be

available in the lower river yet the bulk of the run is still weeks away and is best in March. Trout anglers may find some successasthewatercools and trout become more active. Remember, below the mouth of Big Sheep Creek only adipose-fin clipped trout may be harvested. All bull trout must be released unharmed.

UMATILLA RIVER The Umatilla River opened for salmon and steelhead fishing on Sept.1, and fish numbers picked up atThreemile Dam late last week. Anglers should concentrate on the lower river downstream ofThreemile Dam and the

backwater area of the Columbia River.

WALLOWA LAKE Fishing for rainbow trout has slowed.

Some fish are still available, though anglers will need to be more persistant.

Trout have been caught with a variety of methods but a simple rig with Powerbait has been best.

WALLOWA RIVER TheWallowa river has been fishing good for trout. Catch rates on fin-clipped trout have also been good and anglers are encouraged to harvest these fish. For fly anglers, October caddis are on the river and trout are showing some interest. The best dry fly fishing is in the late evening.
