SALEM — The Oregon Supreme Court ruled Thursday that some of the 2013 cuts to public-employee retirement benefits are unconstitutional, wiping out much of the savings lawmakers were aiming for and likely raising pension costs for state and local governments. The justices unanimously said workers were promised an annual inflation increase of up to 2 percent, and the Legislature can't scale it back retroacti vely. Cities and schooldistricts saidthey'redisappointed in the ruling and warned it will lead to larger class sizes and diminished government services. They called on the Legislature to find new Public SeePERS / Page5A

Anyone doing local genealogical research could probably list up to 50 reasons why the La Grande Family History Center is a valuable resource. Not Terry Thimmes, the center's volunteer director. He can cite a million reasons. "A least one million pieces of information areadded togenealogicalw ebsitesevery day," Thimmes said. This means welcome surprises await Thimmes and others who visit the family history center regularly. On Wednesday, for example, Terry's wife, Kathy, a history center volunteer, found an old photo of one her greatgrandfathers that had just been posted on a family history website by a distant relative she didn't know. Terry Thimmes said that surprising findings like this add an incomparable thrill to the processofdoing genealogicalresearch. "It is just exciting to find new things," he SeeHistory / Page5A

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT On May1,1915, during World War I, a German submarine torpedoed and severely damaged the SS Gulflight, an American tanker near Britain's Scilly Isles, even though the United States was still neutral in the conflict; the incident occurred the same day that the RMS Lusitania set sail from NewYork, headed for Liverpool, England (it was torpedoed and sunk by Germany off the coast of Ireland six days later).
ON THIS DATE In 1931, New York's 102-story Empire State Building was dedicated. Singer Kate Smith made her debut on CBS Radio on her 24th birthday. In 1945, a day after Adolf Hitler took his own life, Admiral Karl Doenitz effectively became sole leader of the Third Reich with the suicide of Hitler's propaganda minister, Josef Goebbels. In1960, the Soviet Union shot down an American U-2 reconnaissance plane over Sverdlovsk and captured its pilot, Francis Gary Powers. In 1965, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, in a speech in Williamsburg, Virginia, said: "There are not enough jails, not enough policemen, not enough courts to enforce a law not supported by the people." In 1982, the World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, was opened by President Ronald Reagan.

"If you strengthen your family, we'll have stronger schools and a strong community." Union County Sheriff's Deputy and School Resource Officer Cody Bowen said his job allows him to get to know the youth and be involved with their lives. "I'm adamant about building relationships with the kids," Bowen said."I'm still young enough in my career that I believe I can save them all." Marianne Weaver, who works at Eastern Oregon University as a counselor, said some young people's circumstances make it easy for them to turn to alcohol. "I believe some people have a choice,"Weaver said. "But not everyone does." She used as an example someone who endured a traumatic experience

Parents need to be involved in their children's lives. That was the overallm essage of Thursday's town hall meeting regarding underage drinkmg in Union County. The Center for Human Development and the Union County Communities Coalitionpartnered up to provide parents and community members the information they need fiom experts who deal with underage drinking. During the meeting at the Blue Mountain Conference Center, La Grande High School Principal Brett Baxtersaid teenagers are dealing with a different world than what their parents experienced. He believes the best thing a parent can do is go home with the determination to focus on the family and talk to their children. "Be informedabout who they are, who they're hanging out with and the parents of whothey'rehanging out with," Baxter said.'When a parent isn't answering their phone and your child is at their house, then drive

However, Weaver argued, there were 10 cases of sexualassaultsreported in 2014 at EOU and every situation involved alcohol use by either the perpetrator,thevictim orboth. Stephanie Duncan, a crisis response advocate from Shelter From the Storm, said because sex and alcohol go hand in hand in so many movies, songs and commercialadvertisements, it confuses children. "Using alcohol to get sex is encouraged," Duncan said of commercials."(The message is that) drinking makes you powerful."

laws, make arrests, apprehend criminals, issue tickets, investigate crimes, testify in court, help people and maintain the quality oflife we hold so dear. They are the public servants most in contact with the broadest part of the community, and they see the
dark side of city life. In Baltimore, scene of recent riots over the death of a 25-year-old black man while in police custody, it's said the sta5ng of the police department was cut back so much as to reduce daily positive interactions with citizens. This reduces the connection with the community they serve. People begin to have an adversarial relationship with the police when all they seem them doing in apprehending criminals and not following the community policing model. The community policing model doesn't work when the police are rushing from crisis to crisis and without time to interact with citizens and help solve their problems. With drug problems and petty crimes on the rise, and more calls related to mental health coming in, La Grande faces a situation where adequate policing is essential. The department has lost two sworn oKcers since the start of the recession, with one oKcer added back via a grant to investigate domestic violence cases. That grant runs out in 2016, and its renewal is not ensured. The budget committee faces the diKcult challenge of balancing all the needs of the city, from the pool to thelibrary to providing sewer and water and parks, with limited financial resources. The police, though, need adequate sta5ng. They serve an important role of protecting the members of the community and their property. We need a fully staffed police department to prevent crime, reduce fear of crime and improve quality oflife for all citizens.

Police oKcers have been getting a bad rap lately. OKcer-involved shootings and people dying in police custody have been all over the national news. But these incidents draw attention away from the good work a vast majority of police oKcers are doing to make communities safer so the residents don't live in fear — of the police, certainly, and of crime, attacks on people and property. Public safety is arguably the most important function of a city. If we do not feel safe in our homes, what good is having wonderful sewer and water services or streetsin top condition? Thus, the La Grande Budget Committee's decision to fund a new police oKcer position, despite the typical tight funding picture, is the right move. Crime has a big impact on quality oflife, and the police department needs to be adequately staffed to handle an increasing number of calls. OKcers are charged with a great number of duties. Among others, they patrol the community, enforce

Eastern Oregon University's Ryan Rosenau won the decathlon at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Multi-Event Championships. His score of 6,687 points was fourth-best all-time at Eastern in the outdoor season.
osenauin • Eastern Oregon University's Ryan Rosenau is enjoying a superb season after sufI'ering through an injury By Josh Benham The Observer
Astros clip Mariners in 10 Jose Altuve's RBI single in the 10th inning — his first career game-ending hit — lifted the Astros to their seventh straight victory, 3-2 over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night. Marwin Gonzalez doubled down the right-field line with one out against reliever Dominic Leone (0-2). After a walk to pinch-hitter Colby Rasmus, Altuve got his third hit of the game — lining a single to left field to drive in Gonzalez and snap the Mariners' three-game winning streak.

Rosenau, right, won last weekend's decathlon in Hermiston by more than 500 points, winning five of the 10 events.
When the second day of the decathlon ended at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Multi-Event Championships, Ryan Rosenau was not nearly as tired as one would imagine. "Honestly, I wasn't that bad when I finished it tlastl Friday," he said."Itreally hits you the next day when you wakeup." ThankfuHy, he had his first conference title in hand to offset the soreness. And the pain was nothing compared to what he went thmugh last season. Rosenau capped off an impressive April by taking first
in the decathlon with 6,687 points in Hermiston April 24. The Mountaineer trounced the otherseven competitors by more than 500 points and moved into fourth place on the all-time outdoor list at Eastern. The junior also shot up the school record books April 11 at the Washington vs. Oregon Meetin Spokane, Washington. He won the 400-meter-hurdle race with atimeof53.33 seconds,the second fastestin Mountie history. "I took last year's outdoor season off, and this whole year I've been slowly getting better in all my events," Rosenau said."Hopefully SeeRosenauI Page 9A
La Grande's Shayna Cooper is ending her track and field career with the Tigers on a high note. Cooper, a thrower, has won her go-to event — javelin — all five times she has stepped on the throwing runway this year. That undefeatedrun has catapulted hertothetop of the Greater Oregon League. Her throw of 125 feet, 4 inches at the Baker Relays April 10 is currently more than 11 feet ahead of secondplace Amber Wells from McLoughlin and is the fourth-best throw in the state. In fact, she has the top four throws in the GOL. Cooperhas also already settheschool's javelin record this spring, a mark previously held by none other than Cooper herself. 'That makes me reall y happy,and now I have to push myself even harder because to evenget a (personalrecord)isthe school record," she said."I just want to reach my PR again. It feels like it's a real big accomplishment." Indeed, she broke a school mark that had stood for more than 40 years in 2014, and topped that previous 124 feet, 9 inch throw with her launch at Baker three weeks ago. It's an impressive way to be going out considering she barely had the opportunity to compete in track for two years. As a freshman at Cove, she suffered a broken ankle.

House passes concealed carry bill SALEM — House lawmakers have passed a bill allowing people with concealed handgun licenses from other states to use them in Oregon. Under the bill approved Thursday, the same protectionsoffered to Oregon concealedcarry permit holders, such as the ability carry a firearm into certain public buildings, would be offered to out-ofstate permit holders. But the concealed handgun license requirements in those other states would have to m eet the same criteria as Oregon's. The State Department of Justice is tasked with making a list of states whose license requirements are as stringent as Oregon's. Supporters say thosestates wouldalsohavetorecognize Oregon's concealed handgun license, creating full reciprocity. The bill passed 57-1. It now heads to the Senate.

SALEM — The Oregon House advanced legislation Thursday allowing patients to have information about their medical benefits sent directly to them, and not to the insurance policyholder. HB 2758 would give any patient a choice of whether they want communication about their health care sent to the insurance policyholder or somewhere else. That communication could indude an explanation ofbenefits notice, information about their doctor'sappointment oradescriptionoftheservicesprovided.

Umatilla pushes strip clubs, pot shops out PENDLETON—After struggling to regulate stripper bars, a small town along the Columbia River in eastern Oregon is ready to adopt rules to prohibit new ones in its downtown district. The East Oregonian newspaper reported that Umatilla's planning commission voted Tuesday to turn a rewritten90-page comm ercial zoning rulebook over to the city council for final adoption. The vote finishes a battle that started in July 2014 after residents opposed a third strip club in the town. The rules restrict adult entertainment businesses and marijuana dispensaries away from downtown.Current strip clubs would be grandfathered as long as they do not change ownership. Moratoriums on adult businesses and marijuana dispensaries have been in place while the city crafts new rules. The city council will discuss the new rules May 5.

Building concierges — who make dinner reservations and walk the dog — and 24hour security have become almost standard for the highest-end projects. At the One Thousand Museum tower, for example, each unit will come with a safety deposit box in a bank-style vault next to the building's security room. aWe've seen people focusing more on the lifestyle that comes with living in one of these buildings than on the actual units," Gutman said. aWe have a lot of New York buyers looking for second and third homes down here, and they're pretty much demanding the same levelofservice they'd get up there."

A two day, 134-mile bike tour is taking place tomorrow and Sunday for those adventurous enough to pedal more than 60 miles per day. The Grande Tour along the Oregon Scenic Bikeway will begin in La Grande and travel to Baker City and back. A group of 60 to 70 bicyclists generally participate at thisevent,said Mavis Hartz, coowner of Mountain Works Bicycles, which partnered with the Union
County Chamber of Commerce to organize this event. The Oregon Scenic Bikeway is compiled of many bicycle trails created by local communities and organizations. The Grande Tour eventisa fundraiserto promote the bikeway while also raising money for the upkeep and signage along the path, Hartz said. Participants will meet at Riverside Park between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and then will begin their journey.
'There's not a lot of traffic,a Hartz saidofthetrail."It'sgood pavement, low traffrc.a While it's not a requirement to be an expert bicyclist, Hartz said it's not for the faint ofheart. "It's for everyone, within reason," Hartzsaid.'There'san assisted ride available to bicyclists. Food and water is provided along the way." Hartzsaid some peopleoptoutof pedaling through certain areas in the route. Some sections are very hilly and
containlong grades ofm oderate elevation. The groupisresponsible forfood and their accommodations, she said. There will be stops in North Powder as well for food and then the group will stay overnight in Baker City. This bikeway is available year round for anyone who wants the challenge, Hartz said.

Knowing filtration:a lookatsomeoStions ' tering water is important. It also can be tedious, inconvenient and/or taste funny. But if you don't follow through on it, things can get very uncomfortable very fast, which is not a recipe for fun in the backcounfry. It's a generally agreed upon fact that Eastern Oregon has some of the best water in the world, and they are right, but this doesn't mean you shouldn't filter the water you pull directly from the source. I've talked to a lot of people who believe it's best to go without the filter ifyou pull it from flowing water, but I've also talked to a lot of people who don't do that anymore because they learned the lesson the hard way. Unfortunately, we're closing in on the summer season and water filters are among the most confusing pieces of outdoor equipment to buy. Just as you've heard in this column

Tying flies, sharing memories afishing ith trout season right around the corner iMay 23 is the opener on the Grande Ronde and Wallowa rivers), I've been tying a lot of flies. Grubby ones, buggy ones, fishy ones and ones tied out of dog hair called "Berkley Specials." My fellow compatriots in this fly-tyingendeavor have been composed most recently of three eighth-graders who can't seem to get enough of fishing, whether it is throwing feed to hatchery trout or stalking them on local waterways. While tying flies, memories of past fishing exploits are often shared between us. And of all the different species the four of us have fished for, including local favorites on the Snake like crappie and bass,the magic word, itseems, issteelhead. Always steelhead. And being a bit of a steelhead pursuer myself, I understand the draw. Though since steelhead season closed on April 15, I've felt a bit of a void in my life. I've tried to fill that void with lawn care and house work, but for some reason I keep taking walks along our localrivers.I've even tried barbecue from the Pit Stop right on Highway 82 as you pass through Wallowa and burgers from the Lostine Tavern and Little Bear, and while it has all been awfully tasty, I've got a hunger that food just can't seem to touch.

Psycho Prlnce shimmers in the water
Union County:Look for bears on open South slopes. Access to national forest lands should be excellent due to the light snow pack this winter. Many forest roads will be soft with early snow melt, take care not to cause unnecessary ruts. Baker County:Look for bears close to timber stringers feeding on open ridges. Successful hunters need to remember to check in their bear within ten days of harvest. It cannot be frozen and propping open the mouth will help in aiding tooth collection later. Wallowa County:In spring, black bears are fair weather fellows and really only venture out of their dens on warm, sunny days. The best strategy for finding them this time of year is to sit on a spot with a good view of open canyon sides and use binoculars or a spotting scope to locate them.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be hosting four local meetings this month seeking public input on its plan to use rotenone to help remove unwanted fish from arealakes and ponds.The me etings this week will be at 5:30 p.m. May 4 at the Baker County Library in Baker Cityand 5:30 p.m. May6at Cloverleaf Hall in Enterprise.

rod, one of my fellow fly tiers, recently suggested fishing local bodies of water that are open. A few of them in the Northeastern corner of Oregon — likeMurray Reservoir, Morgan Lake, Willow Creek Reservoir, and Marr and Weaver ponds — have recently been stocked. There should also be some good fishing for holdover trout in Wallowa Lake if you find yourself trailering a boat. If still water just isn't your thing, the Powder River opened up this past weekend for trout fishing. Also, spring Chinook season on the Umatilla opened up the day after steelhead season closed, and the dam counts indicate very — underlined twice with an exclamation point — good runs.

It's time again for some serious "tick talk" — yes, ticks are active at temps above 40 degrees, and they are looking for blood hosts. In mid-April, I received my own creepy-crawly wake-up call when I noticed a lump like a scab on the crown of my head. I instinctively picked it off, not initially thinking of ticks, but there it was in my hand, alive, healthy and complete with eight barbed,

Honoring the work of
medical lab professionals It's that time of year again! While most of usassociateAprilwith taxes,thelatter half of the month also brings with it an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions of a dedicated, but mostly unsung, group ofhealthcare professionals. Since 1975, the American Society for Clinical Pathology and other organizations have promoted National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, or Lab Week, as an opportunity for the community to learn m ore about how the lab servesallofus. Locally, the clinical laboratories of the Grande Ronde Hospital and the Regional Medical Center depend on a team of 36 phlebotomists, clinical laboratory scientists, and pathologists to perform over 135,000 tests each year. Every day, the labreceives tubes ofblood,throatswabs, and containers of urine. Most tests are routine blood counts, chemistries, and microbiology studies. Matt Leckenby, a phlebotomist, recalls,"Sometimes a mother will bring a diaper full of poop to the window." Othertestsareperformed lessoften. Last year, the main laboratory at GRH introduced a highly-reliable automated semen analysis instrument that can measure fertility in just 70 seconds. Numerous tissues, ranging from skin shavesand colon polyps to breastmasses andamputated toes,are received in the histology section. Here specimens are described by shape, size, color and texturebefore being sliced and placed onto glass slides for microscopic review. The process of converting a lump of flesh into one or more slides usually requires about 24 hours. However, if a surgeon sees something during an operation that may change the approach to a case, he or she may request a frozen section in which a piece of suspicious mass is sprayed with an aerosol to harden it enough to be cut and placed onto slides. A pathologist can often give the surgeon a diagnosis within 20 minutes. Producing the slides that pathologists need to make those diagnoses is both an art and a science. Detailed staining protocols, or recipes, highlight diferent areasofthem icroscopiclandscape,such as the collagen of sun-damaged skin or the fungus growing between toes.

ouise Goodenow and Kendra Gregory were bosom friends who had turned to each other for help and support throughout their adult lives. The two first met in junior high in La Grande. They became close friends in high school and they had kept in contact off and on through the years, until the summer of 1994 when Kendra went missing, Louise said. She wasn't overly concerned at first when Kendra seemingly disappeared that summer from eastern Baker County, where she had been living. eHer life was unstable," Louise said."I kind ofhad a feeling she had gone back to the (oregonl coast with Mr. Maurmann." That was Kendra's husband, Jeff Maurmann, whom she married in 1993. But Louise said she had her own issues to deal with at the time, and months slipped away without contact with her friend. Louise said she and Kendra's sister, Joann Callender, who also lives in La Grande, met See Kendra / Page 3D .

endra Dee Maurmann went missing in the summer of 1994. But because Kendra wasn't well known in the Richland and Halfway areas of eastern Baker County where she'd been living for a time, and becauseher lifestyledidn't depend on a predictable schedule, she wasn't immediately missed by many. Indeed, Kendra was never reported missing to authorities. Kendra, whose maiden name was Gregory, grew up in La Grande and graduated from La Grande High School in 1971. She had also gone by the names Kendra Thorpe and Kendra Collier after her marriages in 1973 and in 1992. It wasn't unusual for Kendra to hitchhike between Halfway and Richland or even to take up with a truck driver to travel around seeing the sights, according to police who investigated her murder. Itwas asifshedisappeared from the Panhandle communities of Baker County that summer more than 20 years ago — but not forever. About nine months after she was last seen, as the weather was beginning to soften and the mushrooms were poking their heads up through the forest floor, she reappeared. But not in the"free-spirited" form for which she was known. Instead, Kendra's remains —badlydecayed and unrecognizable — were discovered by mushroom hunters who found more than theywere prepared to look at on their trek into the Wallowa Mountains near New Bridge on April 4, 1995. Identification that was buried with the body, along with dental records, confirmed that it was Kendra's remains that had been found. Baker County SherifFTravis Ash, who had gmwn up in the Haifway-Oxbow area, was attending Western Oregon University at Monmouth when the mushmom hunters found a portion of Kendra's body pmtrudingf'mm a shallow grave atAnson Flat that spring. And now, 20 years later, with a solid law enforcement career under his belt and havingjust been appointed as sherifFto replacetheretired Mitch Southwick, Ash has found himself taking another look at one of Baker County's few, and its most recent, unsolved murder. Ash and other investigators are hoping that new investigative techniques and advancedforensictechnology might lead to a resolution of the case. An autopsy conducted in 1995 showed Kendra was shotoncein the head and sufferedsevereblunt force trauma to the head, Ash said. The gun was never recovered. While recouping fmm a bout of illness that kept him home for several days recently, Ash spent four hours poringover detailscontained in a thick black binder that logs the history of the investigation. Kendra, whom Ash describesas"very religious,"was last seen the night of July 14 at the Long Branch Tavern in Richland with Gary Holland, whom she'd been living with for a short time, Ash said. The couple were at the bar with a mutual friend, Barry Williams, who lived on East Eagle Creek north of Richland. While they were drinking, somethinghappened between Holland and Kendra. 'They had a disagreement over money — $20 — that she had given to the church,"

together, Holland remembers that he and Kendra had dinner at the home of Mike and Rusty Lattin. Kendra had goneto the home ofPastor Bill and Anne Shields at Halfway to get cleaned up beforehand because Holland's trailer had no running water. He and Kendra went to the bar together after dinner. Holland said Kendra told him the pastor had advised her"to reform" and to quit spending time with Holland, Williams and others like them. s.

about what happened to his girlfriend in the summer of 1994, but they have not led to a resolution of the murder.
Following up Investigators will continue to follow any new leads that develop in the case, Ash said. Examination of clothing left in a vehicle the night Kendra disappearedmight provide new information through the use of advanced technology, but time is of the essence. "People are dying,"Ash said.'We're losing our witnesses and potential witnesses and suspects." Even some investigators have died and still others have retired. David Pollentier, an OSP detective who was involved in the case, died of cancer in 2005 at the age of 59. Ken Dunleavy, Baker County SherifF's Department undersherifFwhen Kendra's body was found, died in March 2012 at the age of 60. Three difFerent sheriffshave served over the past 20 years: Terry Speelman, Troy Hale and Mitch Southwick. Ray Berryman, who retired from the Oregon State Police in 1999 as a district criminal sergeant, worked with Pollentier, the OSP crime lab and the sherifFs office on Kendra's case. ''We discussed suspects and potential suspects and leads," Berryman said."But I wasn't involved in the intricaciesoftheinvestigation." Again, Kendra's lifestyle
hampered progress. ''We talked to several people early on," Berryman said."But we never had a lead suspect." And all leads hit a dead end. 'There was nothing we could take action on," Berryman sRld.
Leaving a case unsolved doesn't set well with investigators. 'You don't care for that," Berryman said.'You hope the evidence will be there, but sometimes there isn't enough evidence to lead you to a conclusion. "It's frustrating, but you have to move on. There are other cases you have to sink your teeth into," he said. Still, DNA is used to solve "old, old cases," Berryman noted. 'There are deathbed confessions, people in jail talk to others, "he said."A lotof things open up cases all the time." OSP Sgt. Dave Aydelotte, who was promoted from his detective job in Baker City to patrolsergeant and moved to Gold Beach in November 2014, was asked to take another look at Kendra's case most recently. An OSP analyst also went through the files, developed a timeline and made recommendations. "As homicides happen and suspects aren't developed, they get put on the back burner,"Aydelotte said.'With enough passage of time, thesethings don'tgeta lotof attention."

April 10:
Leona Kinsey Leona Kinsey, a 45-year-old mother who ran a local landscaping business, disappeared from La Grande in October 1999 without a trace, and today few — if any — traces have been found.
April 17: Sylvia Heitstuman Law enforcement exhausted their efforts but despite it all, the most challenging aspect of Sylvia Heitstuman's case is the fact that she knew so many people. Leads in the case are all dead ends.
April 24:
Doug Van Leuven At 20 years old, Van Leuven had his whole life before him when he was suddenly — and seemingly purposelyhit by a car.
Today: Kendra Maurmann A shallow grave containing the body of 42-year-old Kendra Dee Maurmann was discovered by mushroom hunters on April 4, 1995, on Eagle Creek north of New Bridge in northeastern Baker County. She had been buried several months earlier.
May 8: The cases of Helen Lovely and Phay Eng The daughter of Helen Lovely wants the person who killed her in 1945 to see what she looked like. Commercial mushroom picker Phay Eng was killed on a lonely forest road high in the mountains above Elgin in June 1993.
May 15: Kristin Schmidt Police suspect that Kristin Alice Schmidt was the victim of a serial killer. She was found at Hilgard State Park.
May 22:
Isaac Roberts Isaac Roberts, an Idaho man, disappeared without a trace during the 2012 Chief Joseph Days Rodeo.
May 29: Lia Szubert Police investigating the June1987 death of 22-year-old Lia Szubert have many more questions than answers today. She was found down an embankment east of La Grande.

briefly at a drug store in La Grande some time after either had last heard kom Kendra. "She said,'Have you heard anything kom Kendra? I'm beginning to be concerned,' " Louise remembers. Soon afterward, in early April 1995, the media reported that an unidentified body had been found in a shallow grave in Baker County. "It all came together," Louise said."I felt fairly certain it was her." She thought it odd that she hadn't heard kom Kendra on her birthday in September 1994, or that Kendra hadn't done something for her son's birthday in October. Kendra's son, Theodore 'Ted" Thorpe, 38, likewise did not think much of his mother being gone for a long period in 1994, until his 18th birthday rolled around. Then came Christmas and still she did not attempt to contact her children. Ted's older sister, Dee Dee Jo Thorpe, 40, is disabled and lives in the Portland area. "I don't talk with my sister," he said.'The last time I saw her was at my wedding 10 years ago." In remembering his mother, Ted described her as "very religious and very outspoken." "She would say what was on her mind even if it offendedother people." When his parents divorced in 1991, it was a relief from years of conflict, Ted said. His mother was always coming and going and was in and out of their home, bringing other men with her while she was still married, Ted said. "It wasn't the typical growing up childhood of Mom and Dad," he said."It was Mom and Dad and others." His mother's behavior impressed upon him the importance ofbeing faithful in a relationship, he said. "I never, ever want to see a couple go through that situation," he said. "I think it is morally every sort of wrong that could be." In spite ofher flaws as a parent and her unconventional understanding ofbeing a Christian, Ted remembers his mother as a very giving person. "People who were homeless ... if she had two dollars to her name, she would give it away," he said, sometimes even to the detriment ofher family. He also recalled how his mother liked to write, and how she often used coffee shop napkins as the stationeryforherpoems orletters. And he is grateful that his mother attended church with her children every Sunday. That ended, however, when Kendra and her husband separated around 1988, when Ted was 12 and his sister was 14. "She instilled faith, religion, God," he said."She m ade me knowaboutitand made it a part of my life. I'm grateful that it is a part of my life." Ted has one biological son — Garrett Kenneth Thorpe, 10 — with his wife, Amanda, 37,and isstepfather to her three children — Lily Laurence, 15; Morgan Laurence, 18; and James Laurence, 20 — kom a previous marriage who he's helped raise for the past 12 years. His family attends Crossroads Community Church in La Grande where his wife is part of the worship team and teaches Sunday school classes. Ted's father, Homer Thorpe, shares his family's home, and his aunt, Joann Callender, lives next door.

He said it's his hope that a story about the murder of his mother will help spark some remembrance that might bringresolution tothecase. "I would like some closure on it," he said.'That's the biggest thing. "But I will leave it in God's hands. Ifhe wants the person found,he willbe found,"Ted said."I'm a strong enough person of faith, either way, I can live with it." He added that family is important to him and he regrets that his mother isn't aroundtocelebrate holidays and birthdays and that she's not alive to get to know her grandchildren. Kendra's remains were cremated and some ofher ashes w ere scatt ered atW estEagle Meadows, a place in the Wallowa Mountains she enjoyed visiting, her son said. The rest ofher ashes are stored at the Thorpe home in ahandmade urn that Ted createdforthatpurpose. "It's something that I have that I can remember my mom by. That she's part of my life," he said. Ted's aunt, Joann Callender, said talking about Kendrabroughtback painful memories and she preferred not to share many details. "She had a hard life — she did," Callender said, declining toelaborate."She has alotof family that misses her." Kendra, who was three years older than Callender, was "a wanderer," her sister said."And she was always
wanting to help people." Kendra's longtime fiiend, Louise, on the other hand, while protective of her fiiend's memory and Kendra's surviving family members' feelings, mailed to the Baker City Herald six typed pagesdetailing thechanges she saw in her friend through the years. Louise talked about Kendra as a teenager and her life in La Grande as a college student, wife and young mother, and finally, as the middle-aged woman who was killed in Baker County. Louise said Kendra blamed her behavioral changes on an incident at a 24-hour doughnut shop in La Grande where Kendra had gone to write poetry and drink co6ee late one rnght earher m her first marriage. She said Kendra told her that she believed someone had slipped drugs into her drink when she got up to use the restroom, causing herto become disoriented and confused. Louise, on the other hand, thinks Kendra might, instead, have had a physical problem such as a seizure or a stroke. "Whatever happened to Kendra that night in the doughnut shop, it seemed to be the beginning of a strong personality change that eventuallyescalated and probably led ultimately to her death," Louise wrote. Kendra graduated kom La Grande High School in 1971. Louisegraduated ayearlater.

We weren't the popular kids," Louise said."Several of us were kind of good kiends. We were just different. She was fun. She was a good person." Kendra's father, Kenneth Gregory, had moved to La Grande after serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, according to his obituary kom May 1994. He owned and operated Gregory's Automotive Repair on the Island City strip for more than 40 years. Kendra's mother, Jessie Gregory, died on Aug. 5, 1985, in La Grande at the age of 59 kom complicati ons related to diabetes. Kendra married her first husband, Homer Thorpe, in June 1973, according to Union County Clerk's 0$ce records. In January 1992, Kendra married John Collier of La Grande. They were divorced by July of that year, court records state. Kendra wrote kee-form poetry. And if she were still alive today, Louise imagines how she would enjoy blogging and communicating via the Internet. She also was musical and had a nice singing voice. Kendra wrote this heartfelt message for Louise on the backofher seniorportrait: "I don't know what to write. Most write corny little messages like'you're a good kid — stay cool' but you mean more to me than that. 111 just say I love you and hope you
get your share of the sunshine and good life. Dandelion wishes." Speaking at Kendra's memorial service, exactly 20years ago,on May1, 1995, Louise explained that Kendra"embodied the idea of Flower Power — that the peace and beauty of flowers and nature can overcome the violence oflife." For Kendra, dandelions represented her personal symbol of Flower Power, Louisetold those gathered to honor Kendra's memory. "Shesaidmost peoplesee the dandelion as just a weed — to be dug up, poisoned, even hated," Louise said in her tribute."But she saw the beauty in the sunny flowers and hope in the flufFy seeds thatare made tofl y on a gentlebreezeor thepuffofa child's breath." Louise said Kendra loved disheartened people in the same way she loved dandelions:"She found no weeds in the garden ofhumanity. There were only misunderstoodbeings thatcould again be useful if they developed self-esteem, were nurtured or cared for." Her fiiend was creative, artistic and a prolific writer, Louise said. Kendra wanted to write children's stories. "She absolutely never used drugs, and alcohol only sparingly" Louise said. In fact, she had not known Kendra to drink alcohol during thelastdecade ofher life. Over a period of years, Kendra earned a teaching degree at Eastern Oregon University and worked as a substitute teacher in Union County schools for several years. During her keshman year ofcollege,another incident took place that would impact the rest ofher life as well. Kendra was sexually assaulted, beaten, terrorized and stalked by a young man she'd met in class, Louise said. That, combined with the later doughnut shop incident, eventually led to Kendra's transformation back to the "hippie lifestyle she enjoyed in high school," Louise wrote. A former agnostic, Kendra became "hyper-religious." "She preached on the street and to anybody who would listen. And she would rebuke anybody if she thought they were doing something wrong," Louise said. "She would give you the shirt otFher back if you asked for it," she added."She embraced charity and poverty, visiting prisoners and the sick. She embraced the very best of religion." She had hoped for the establishment of a mission for the homeless in La Grande. At the same time, "in a twisted embrace of feminism she became involved with a number of men," and she believed strongly in the "no means no" standard for rape and expected men she was with to respectthatstandard, Louise said. Sometime in the year before Kendra died, the two fiiends prayed for the man who had sexually assaulted Kendra. That same man had caused great trouble in Louise's life as well, she said. Forgiveness came to them both that day, she said. ''We felt God had been with us," Louise said. A short time later, Kendra told her friend she planned to hitchhike to West Eagle Meadows where she would "camp out, read the Bible, write, pray and think." "She wanted to be alone, she said, and she didn't want to be around any men. A short time after that she was dead," Louise wrote. "She was kind and decent and a good person even to the end," she said.'Things just went wrong in her life."

• Mushroomers found bones in flat near Baker County's Eagle Creek By Chris Collins WesCom News Service
nson Flatis a beautiful wide spot just off Eagle Creek Road that provides a tranquil respite for travelers in the southern Wallowa Mountains. In springtime, the green flat is graced with blooming wildflowers. And there's a fire pit for hunters and campers to gather around to take the chill off a cool night in the mountains. Anson Flat, about eight miles north of New Bridge and 32airm ilesnortheastof Baker City, is where mushroom hunters discovered the body of Kendra Dee Maurmann on April 4, 1995. Her forearms were protruding from a shallow gravethathad been partially unearthed by animals pawing in the dirt, said Eldon Deardorff, who was among the first to uncover the body. Authorities believe the grave,attheedge ofa thick growth of spike-bearing hawthorn bushes, had been dug about nine months earlier. Deardorff, who'll turn 80 in three months, lives along Eagle Creek Road, about four miles from where the body was found. He remembers that day 20 years ago when women who had been mushroom hunting came to get his w ife's help afterdiscovering some bones buried up Eagle Creek. He said Marge, his wife of 57 years who died last year, called on him to help examine the site. As a former federal hunter, Eldon said he was very familiar with decomposed bones. "I thought I saw where somebody had buried a deer carcass" Eldon recalled.

FROMTHE REPORTER
I was working part-time as a Baker City Herald reporter and wrote the stories thatoffered scant information as it was releasedby authorities about the woman whose body was found bymushroomers in a shallow grave near New Bridge in eastern Baker County. As Baker County's only cold murder case in recent years, it was obvious Kendra would be the subject of the story produced by the Herald for this series. And becauseIam thereporter who generally covers crime, it was obvious that I would get the assignment. Of course, the name Kendra Maurmann was easy to recall when the subject of unsolved murders came up among our staff. But the woman behindthe name had remained a mystery to all of us in the newsroom over the years. It wasn't until I began tointerview people for thesestoriesthatIlearned — or maybe I had forgotten — that Kendra wasn't a transient whose bad luck happened to bring her to Baker County to meet an untimely death, as I had somehow thought all these years. Her father, Kenneth, who died just a few months before she disappeared in the summer of 1994, lived at Halfway. Kendra and her third husband, Jeff Maurmann, were married there and they had stayed at Halfway with her father for a periodoftim e. Few detail swerereleased
Baker County SheriffTravis Ash, left, and Eldon Deardorff stand in front of a grove of hawthorn bushes at Anson Flat, where the remains of Kendra Dee Maurmann were found near here. The actual site is no longer visible. But as he began to uncover the grave, he and the others realized that, though badly decomposed, the remains in the shallow grave were those of a human. Eldon said he discovered a piece of underwear that he at first thought was a bra. His wife informed him that it was instead a pair of panties. A pair of jeans also was buried with the body. "A person could wrap deer bones in Levis or whatever," Eldon said."They could have thrown in panties — but when I pulled them open, here was a billfold. "That's when everything stopped," he said.'That's when we called law enforcement." Deardorff said the billfold contained Kendra Maurmann's identification and a
$1 bill. He stayed at the site and his wife and the others went to report what they'd found. Deardorff said Maurmann was a friend ofhis friend, Gary Holland of Richland. "I'd met her," Deardorff said, "but I never really

banged shoulders with her." Though unsettling, Eldon said he and his wife rem ained unrumed by theexperience offinding thebody. eWe've been around a lot of that," he said. He and Marge owned and operated the Cornucopia Pack Station for 24 years. "I've packed nine bodies out of these mountains," Eldon said during a return trip to Anson Flat last month. He and his wife worked closely with the Baker County Sheriff's Office and search and rescue over the years. Eldon led the Posse as captain the same year thatMarge was elected to lead the women's group, the Possettes. The Deardorffs didn't know that Maurmann hadn't been seen in the area for several months when they found her body that day. "I hadn't heard she was missing," Eldon said."The way I heard it she was sort of here, there and everywhere. She'd be gone for a while and then she'd be back for a while."
