Eastern Oregon University is seeinga growing number of applications forthis year's freshman class, an excitingprospect for Vice President of StudentServices Xavier Romano, though hedoesn't want to count his chickens beforethey hatch.

Romano said he won't believe the num­ber is accurate until he sees the "whitesof their eyes," which won't require toomuch of a wait since students start com­ing back next week.

Romano said EOU has received 1,648applications this year, compared to the1,424 it received in 2014.

Eastern Oregon University is seeing a growing number of applications for this year's freshman class, an exciting prospectforVice President of Student Services Xavier Romano, though he doesn't want to count his chickens before they hatch.

Romano, noting that the residence hallsaren't usually that way."That's veryexciting."

EOU faces a unique problem, whichlarger universities like the University ofOregon and Oregon State University donot, because it does not require an enroll­ment deposit from the incoming class.

eWe're an access university. We don't

have the deposits," Romano said. Largeruniversities ask for a deposit of hundredsof dollars, which gives the schools a bet­ter idea ofhow many incoming freshmento expect.

"Generally speaking, the enrollmentdeposits can be $250 to $500," Romanosaid."That's too much for EOU istu­dents)."

Although the university attracts stu­dents with high academic achievements,cWe're still a first-generation institution,"Romano said.Romano credits the increase of applica­

tions to the university's efforts in promot­ing EOU across Oregon.eWe've been attacking the territories

differently," he said. There are EOUrecruiters working in Portland, along theInterstate 5 corridor and in Salem, tryingto get students to come to the easternpart of the state.

eWe're working with students andtheir parents with their financial aidpacket," Romano added. If studentsaren't getting enough financial aid to

"Things are going well,but the fire is still active inplaces," said Jimmye Turner,a public information officerfor the Grizzly Bear Com­plex Fire burning in Wal­lowa County and SoutheastWashington.

The fire has grown about4,000 acres this week, but allof this expansion has beenin a portion of the Weneha­Tucannon Wilderness whereno containment line has beenbuilt. The fire is expectedto die out before reachingthe edge of the wilderness,Turner said.

"Cool weather and higherrelative humidity are work­ing together to slow the fireand let it die quietly," Turnersald.

Firefighters are not goinginto the Weneha-TucannonWilderness to fight the fire be­cause it would be very risky.

"It is in steep, rugged ter­rain, and places are unstablebecause of fire damage,"Mahoney said, adding thataccess to the fire in thewilderness is limited becausethere are few trails to it.

Firefighters have easieraccess to the approximately12,000-acre Eagle Complexfires, burning 10 miles eastof Medical Springs, which in­volves little wilderness land.The fires, which were startedby lightning on Aug. 10, arenow 75 percent contained.

ists. The state is famous for having some of the

slowest speed limits in the West, instituted for

several reasons, from fuel economy to safety but

perhaps not achieving either of those results.

Anyone who has driven from Idaho, with an

interstate speed limit of 80 mph, to Oregon, at

65 mph currently, will feel like he is crawling

through the sagebrush steppes north of Ontario.Now the Oregon Department of Transporta­

tion is preparing for the big speed limit switch.

ODOT is marking highways and freeways with

more no-passing zones and solid yellow lines in

the lane of travel so drivers can safely negotiate

the faster speeds.

The faster speed limits are welcome. Motorists

have vast distances to cover between cities in

Eastern Oregon, and most of the roads, long and

straight with extensive sight lines, are condu­cive to faster speeds. Most drivers will drive the

speed limit or a little faster, which studies have

shown is safer from accidents than dawdling

along at 10 mph under the speed limit. Most

drivers, regardless of posted speed limits, will go

what feels comfortable and safe, and not all will

test the new limits and risk a speeding ticket.We're glad Oregon did not attempt to match

Idaho on Interstate speed limits. The 70 mphlimit for cars and 65 mph limit for trucks is fast

enough, a comfortable speed yet not so fast, like

80 in Idaho, where more vehicles will be going

difFerent speeds, contributing to more accidents.

Some people worry that the faster speed limits

will lead to m ore accidents or reduced fuel econ­

omy. But according to a study from the Florida

Department of Transportation, only 2.2 percent

of accidents are caused by speeding.

A bigger cause of accidents is drivers driv­

ing difFerent speeds. This causes more braking,

which leads to lower fuel economy, and more

conflicts between vehicles. We believe a faster,

more realistic speed limit across Oregon's remote

stretches will not lower fuel economy or lead to a

big rise in accidents but will actually prove safer

in the long run and get people where they need

to go quicker.

Sixteen candidates remain in therace for the Republican presiden­

tial nomination. Fifteen of them wereinvited to Wednesday night's debates.

And then there was Jim Gilmore."I'm very disappointed," the former

Virginia governor told me when Ireached him on Wednesday. He paused,as if reflecting on his word choice."Uh,actually, I'm angry," he revised. In fact,"I'm really upset about this."

Gilmore warmed quickly to thisthesis.

"It's wrong and against the publicinterest," he said of debate host CNN'sdecision to disallow his participation,even in the pre-debate debate of m inorcandidates, based on his sub-1-percentstanding in the polls.

"I just am rebelling against theunfairness of it all and the wrongnessof it all," he continued."CNN is not be­ing faithful to the stewardship they'vetaken on."

Gilmore would like to take up hisgrievance directly with CNN's Wash­ington bureau chief, Sam Feist, but"theguy won't even call me back, which Iconsider a personal insult," he said.

And so the former governor, Repub­lican National Committee chairmanand chairman of a national homeland­security commission did the only thinghe could do: While the other candidatesreached tens of millions of Americanson the airwaves, Gilmore went to hiscampaign office in Alexandria, Va.,and tweeted out his own answers tohis 1,500 followers using the hashtag¹GOPDebate:

"Trump doesn't understand the Con­stitution."

"Dr. Carson waflles.""If Santorum becomes president he

will have to obey the law to." isicl"Fiorina ducked the question.""Huckabee calls for disobedience of

the law.""Gov. Walker does not understand

how wages go up."But as his tweets vanished into the

ether with scarcely a retweet, Gilmoreshowed his frustration; not an hourinto the rollicking, interminable debate,as the candidates on the stage finallyganged up on front-runner Donald

eonecan i atere se to i nvitetot

Trump, Gilmore tweeted that it was"all process and nothing to tweetabout."

Live-tweeting the debate from whichhe was excluded was but one of manyindignities Gilmore had endured of late.

For one, he seems to be doing hisown staff work. He has been known tosend reporters emails from his Gmailaddress, providing his cellphone numberand asking them to call. I used the num­ber to call him Wednesday, and he wasgrateful for the attention:"It's like waterin a desert to m e."I attempted to serve as an oasis for

the parched candidate. Could he sayhow much money he has raised?

"Nope, can't do that," he answered.iHe has not yet had to file a report tothe Federal Election Commission.)

Would he run ads?''We'll augment our strategy with ads

if we raise enough money to run ads," hereplied.

How about campaign stafP."OK, let me count," he replied."Dan.

Dick.... Alex. Um, let's see here. Um,JefK ... I think seven at this point,"although"some are part time."

Gilmore is aggrieved by my Post col­league David Fahrenthold, who wrotethat Gilmore"has not held a singleformal campaign event with actual vot­ers present."

The governor finds this to be "a littlecute" because he actually does go tocampaign events — just not his own."Idon't need to" have campaign events, hesaid, because there are plenty of com­mittee meetings and candidate forumshe can attend. In fact, he has visitedNew Hampshire nine times this year,he said.

But with little to show for it. CNNsaid Gilmore was the only candidatewho had been in either oflast month'sFox News debates who didn't meet itsrequirement of averaging 1 percent sup­port in any three polls released over atwo-month period.

"They're being inflexible with me!" he

George Pataki and Lindsey Grahammade the JV event even though theyaveraged 0.5 percent in recent polls, andCNN bent its requirements to allowbusinesswoman Carly Fiorina to jointhe main event Wednesday night.

"And yet they turn around and draw astrong line on me?" Gilmore said.

schools. Those with endorse­ments in math, science andspecial education are inparticularly high demand, asm ore baby boomers are retir­ing and school enrollmentsexpand.

"Not only are schooldistricts in Eastern Oregonseeking to hire our gradu­ates, we are also getting callsfrom around the state andacross the West looking forqualified teachers," said RayBrown, assistant professorof education and secondaryeducation program coordina­tor at EOU.

Schools in Washington,Idaho, Alaska, Montana andWyoming will all welcomenew teachers from EOUto their classrooms thisfall. Brown believes EOU'sgeographic location providesan advantage in preparingstudents to teach in a ruralsetting, but graduates aretrained to work with stu­dents in urban environmentsas well.

''We are rural, but notsecluded," Brown explained."The competition is intense,and often our students faceeach other as candidates forthese positions. Their successis really a testament to thequality of our programs."

Jess Roberts, of La Grande,is one of the studentsexperiencing this success.He completed his master'swith middle and high schoolauthorization in July and isnow teaching math to a classof 20 middle school studentsin Ontario.

"EOU did a really goodjob of preparing us," Robertssaid, referring to the posi­tive responses he and fellowgraduates received fromemployers.

Schools were reaching outto Roberts before he finishedthe program, which couldhave something to do withhis bachelor's in mathemat­ics, also obtained from EOU.

"Oregon requirements formath have changed, so moreteachers are required tomeet the need," Roberts said."I also made it clear that Iwanted to focus on middleschool, which generated a lotof interest from schools."

Roberts received nine joboffers before he stopped tak­ing calls. Ultimately, he chosethe Ontario School Districtbecause of its progressive ap­proach to education, coupledwith higher poverty anddiversity rates.

Also motivating his deci­sion was his participation inthe Oregon Teacher Pathwayat EOU, a program thattrains pre-service teachers tobecome culturally responsiveeducators.

"The program was re­ally helpful with discussingdiversity in schools and whyit's important," Roberts said."Understanding that is reallypowerful."

EOU's elementary MATprogram is also seeingstrong placement rates.Four of the 11 students inthe cohort have acceptedpositions beginning this fall.The remaining seven areplanning to substitute teachwhile they wait for openingsin their preferred districts,pursue additional endorse­ments or search for their ownclassrooms.

Elementary teacher KaraJenkins completed herendorsement in English forspeakers of other languagesiESOLl prior to entering theMAT program. The day beforethe cohort concluded in July, aschool made her an offer.

"The MAT program reallygave me an edge by provid­ing multiple experiences withthe newest teaching prac­tices," Jenkins said."I pickedEOU because it providedwhat I was looking for — asmall campus, low student toprofessor ratio and a small­town atmosphere."

Jenkins accepted thatfirst offer and is excited to bereturning to teach at a schoolnear her hometown of Em­mett, Idaho. Her new class­room is combined fourth- andfifth-grade at Sweet-MontourElementary.

The same success goesfor the university's under­graduate elementary schoolteacher preparation programcalled CUESTE, which leadsto initial teacher licensure. Tobuild on this momentum andprepare for future growth,the College of Education isexploring partnerships withschools districts beyond theimmediate region.

to push a bill through the Senate thisfall that would allow federal agenciesto pay for fires without having to usemoney intended to prevent them.

"I've made it clear to conservatives

that as it relates to fire funding fixesI'm very open for ways to compromiseand find common ground,"Wyden saidin an interview this month.

The House and Senate have longbickered over how to reform the wayfederal agencies pay to combat largewildfires like those that devoured morethan four dozen homes in Oregon thisyear. When the U.S. Forest Servicespends its entire allotted amount, itdips into other reserves that are setaside to pay for m easures that preventwildfires, like forest thinning.

The process is called"fire-borrow­ing," and the Forest Service has neededto dip into its other funds six timesin the last decade, according to U.S.Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.On Monday, the U.S. Department ofAgriculture had to transfer another$250 million from other accounts topay for fire suppression, bringing thetotal fire-borrowing costs for 2015 to$700 million.

The newest costs as of Sept. 8showed the US. Forest Service, whichfaces a majority of wildfire suppres­sion costs among federal agencies, hasspent $1.23 billion so far this fiscalyear. That's not far behind the all-timerecord of $1.65 billion spent in 2002,adjusted for inflation, according toJennifer Jones, a spokeswoman for theForest Service in Boise, Idaho.

"It sure wouldn't be surprising if wehit the record," Jones said, noting 40uncontained large wildfires continueburning nationwide.

In the heat of fire season, the ForestService spent $243 million in a singleweek fighting fires.

Suppression has eaten up more than

COUNTY one of the last entities in thecounty to decide. The countycommissioners' decision willaffect the unincorporatedparts of the county, any landoutside city limits.

A concern expressedby many speaking at thehearing was the welfareof children. A number ofpeople, including Art Rhodesof La Grande, said thatincreasing the availability ofmarijuana in Union Countywould ultimately be bad forchildren.

''Who is speaking for thechildren?" Rhodes asked.

Ernest Humphrey ofLa Grande, who uses me­dicinal marijuana to dealwith chronic pain, advisedthe county to be proactiveand begin preparing to ad­dress the issue.

"Marijuana is not goingaway," Humphrey said.

Mike Voss, a local merchantwho sells firearms, urged thecounty to opt out. He stressedthat the possession ofmarijuana is not legal underfederal law. The legalizationof marijuana in Oregon thusputs merchants like him inan awkward situation.

"I can't legally sell gunsto anyone who is a user ofmarijuana," Voss said."If Ismell marijuana on some­one's breath, I can't sell agun to them."

Marie Rampton ofLa Grande also urged thecounty to opt out, stressingthat she believes legalizing

marijuana will cause seriousproblems. Rampton saidthat data from Colorado,where marijuana has beenlegalized since 2012, pro­vides proof of this. She notedin some parts of Colorado 40percent of those caught driv­ing under the influence ofintoxicants are drivers whohave been using marijuana.

This means marijuanamay be the cause of m anyserious motor vehicle ac­cidents, accidents that couldcost the state millions ofdollars.

"I would like to see thismoney devoted to manyother issues other than ac­cidents," Rampton said.

Steve Taylor of Westonspoke out in support ofmarijuana, stating that hedoes not beheve lt ls thecause of violent crime. Tay­lor said that he has a goodfiiend who has served as ajudge for 35 years.

"He told me that he hasnever dealt with a domesticviolence case involving mari­juana," Taylor said.

Taylor is a member of astate advisory committeethat is developing proposedstate marijuana rules for theOregon Liquor Control Com­mission, which will overseethe sale and production ofrecreational marijuana inOregon.

half the Forest Service budget this year,and it expects that two-thirds of its2025 budget will go to fighting wildfiresunless Congress passes reform. Wydenis working with a bipartisan group ofsenators to address it before 2016.

"I want to get it done this fall be­cause the fire specialists say that thefire season is going to run into Octo­ber, and they say they can hardly tellwhen one fire season ends and anotherbegins,"Wyden said.

Wildfires so far this year burnednearly 9 million acres, an area biggerthan the state of Maryland. That's wellabove the 10-year average of 6 m illionacres burned with about a month stillleft of the typical fire season.

Wyden said he believes lawmakersshould deal with the fire funding issuefirst before trying to tackle the problemof forest management, which conserva­tives blame for the larger wildfires.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River,was a strong supporter of a bill,which passed the House in July, thatproposed larger forest managementchanges that seek to promote more log­ging and would make it m ore expen­sive to sue to challenge a forest plan.

which drew so many peoplethat there wasn't time tohear everyone.

Everyone who cameWednesday, however, hadthe opportunity to speaktheir mind.

Jay Mackley, of the UnionCounty Republicans, urgedthe commissioners to taketheir time and carefully ana­lyze the evolving marijuanafront in Oregon before mak­ing a decision.

"I am urging caution ...slow down and evaluate,"Mackley said.

The Union Countycommissioners conductedthe hearing because theywanted to get input fromthe public before decid­ing whether to opt out of aportion of Measure 91, themeasure voters passed inNovember that legalized thepossession, sale and produc­tion of marijuana in Oregon.Some municipalities havethe option ofbanning thesale and production ofmarijuana under House Bill3400, which was passed ear­lier this year. Municipalitieshave this option if they arein counties, such as UnionCounty, in which at least 55percent of those voting castballots against Measure 91.

Most towns in UnionCounty have already chosento opt out. Union County is

Senate to pass the Resilient FederalForests Act, which had support fromtwo Oregon Democrats but was largelyopposed by other House Democratsand was opposed by Wyden when itpassed the House. The bill also ad­dressed the fire-borrowing issue.

"People are pretty hot in EasternOregon about what happened thissummer, and they want changes in fed­eral forest policy, which legislation wepassed in the House would give them,"Walden said in a statement Tuesday."It's long overdue for the Senate to take

action."Wyden and Sen. Mike Crapo, a

Republican from Idaho whose statewas also charred by wildfires this year,both said this month they're willing tolook at different ways to address thebudgeting problem.

"My 10 colleagues, including BudgetChairman%yoming Republican Sen.M ike) Enzi and Sen. Wyden, are veryaware that we have opportunities aswe move up to the resolution of all ofthe budget issues this year to moveit forward," Crapo told The Bulletin.''We're going to be looking for every

appropriate vehicle to m ove forward onthis legislation."

hearing urged the county toopt out because this will giveit time to observe other coun­ties in operation and see howthey manage recreationalmarijuana. Union Countycould learn what works andw hat does not before possi­bly voting to opt back in andallow the sale and produc­tion of marijuana, suggesteda local resident.

Others pointed out thatUnion County may not havethis luxury because it is notclear if counties that opt outwill later be able to opt backin and allow the sale andproduction of marijuana.''We need to get a legal

opinion," CommissionerSteve McClure said.

McClure and fellow com­missioners Mark Davidsonand Jack Howard all said theywant to get more informationbefore deciding whether thecounty will opt out.

Howard said he is veryinterested in having UnionCounty voters decide theissue in an election. Heknows that the campaignfor such an election wouldbe spirited.

'There is passion on bothsides," he said.

6A — THE OBSERVER SPIRITUAL LIFE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

Faith, rights at center of debate over judge's marriage stanceIn a formal complaint,

which will be the subject of apublic hearing on Nov. 9, thecommission accuses Day, aMarion County Grcuit Courtjudge, of violating severalrules within the state Code ofJudicial Conduct and the stateconstitution.His refusal to perform gay

marriages forms a partialbasis of one allegation againsthim. He is also accused of dis­playing a picture of Hitler inthe Salem courthouse, allow­ing a convicted felon to handlea gun and taking lawyers'money to fund a pet project,among other allegations.Day denies doing anythingimproper.

The image of Hitler waspart a war-memorabilia col­

lage meant to honor veterans,he said. The felon was partici­patingin Veterans TreatmentCourt, which Day oversees.The judge said he went to theman's home to fix his brokenheat source and never sawhim handle an unloaded pistolthat Day's son had brought.

In his answer to the formalcomplaint, Day said the com­mission investigated him forexpressing his religious andpolitical views, protected bythe FirstAmendment, and isnow seeking to unseat him.

Day said his opposition togay marriage, borne out ofdeep Christian faith, seemsto be the crux of the commis­sion's problem with him.

In his response to the com­mission, Day acknowledges

there was a time when heasked his staff to send same­sex marriage applicants to an­other judge, after U.S. DistrictJudge Michael McShane's2014ruling effectively legal­izing gay marriage in Oregon.He said he eventually stoppeddoing all weddings.

Day said he doesn't dislikegay people.

"I work with many menwho are gay or women whoare lesbians," he said."Irespect them, care for them.They're my colleagues, myfriends, and I respect theirrelationships. At the sametime, I request that those whoare my friends and peopleof goodwill also respect myconscience."

He just doesn't believe in

their marriages."I believe our creator has

defined marriage," he said."It's not that I have anythingagainst gay and lesbiancouples. But I believe in the in­stitution of m arriage. It's beendefined, and I believe that tocall it something else makes itnot marriage."

Day said he never consid­ered weddings merely anofficial function.

'You're creating somethingthat's unique, one-of-a-kindand supposed to be beautiful,"he said.'This isn't a rubber­stamp event. I put myself intothat wedding. It's a joyousoccasion."

He can't do that for a gaymarriage, he said.

"Ifyou ask me to participate

in a ceremony that has beenviewed as a sacrament bythe church since the church'sbeginning, you're asking meto violate my conscience. Whywould anyone of goodwillrequire me to do that?"Legal scholars have a differ­

ent take. They predict Oregonlaw could make it diKcult forDay to argue his case on FirstAmendment claims.

Unlike federal law andsome other states, Oregondoes not have a religiousexemption statute.

"People here in Oregonwho don't want to facilitatesame-sex marriage, they don'thave much of a claim on thereligious liberty side," saidJim Oleske, a Lewis & Clarkassociate law professor.

By Emily E. SmithThe Oregonian

With little fanfare, JudgeVance Day stopped doingweddings.

Then came the questions— from the Oregon Commis­sion on Judicial Fitness andDisability and reporters andthe public.

'There's no, Yippee skippy, Iw ant to be the poster child forthis type of debate,"'he saidMonday."I didn't raise myhand and say,'Let's go downthis road."'

"But it's the road the com­mission has chosen," he said."And they're going to have toprove their case, and I will ar­gue my side because I believestrongly in the independenceof the judiciary."

Arts Center East, farmers' market partner for art tour showByWilliam Bowman

Zucchinis and tomatoes,cabbage and carrots. Apples,plums and peaches. Donuts,tamales and ... art?

Yes, art. Blacksmithing.Glass blowing and ceramics.Batik painting and more. Allwill be showcased from9 a.m. to noon Saturday at

the La Grande Farmers Mar­ket during the Art CenterEast Studio Tour.

Linda Schreiner, presidentof the Art Center board, saidthat the goals of this showhave always been to give thecommunity a behind-the­scenes look and to help theartists sell their wares.

In past years, community

members have driven fromLa Grande to Elgin and Coveto visit local professional art­ists and studios such as TomDiamond, The Waypoint Stu­dio and The Potter's House.This year, though, the artistsare coming to the market foreasier access.

Darcy Dolge, director of theArt Center, said that even

though past years made foran enjoyable day trip, col­laboration with the farmers'market will simplify accessfor both artists and commu­nity members.She added that the farm­

ers' market and the Art Cen­ter make for apt partners.

"Our community is veryagriculturally based," she

said."Farmers market issuch a huge deal for our com­munity. So it's nice to havethat collaboration to focuson both our areas, arts andagricultural. It makes us whowe are as a community."

Dolge said she believesshows like this bring that artto the forefront of communitymembers' consciousness. Sch­

reiner added that this showwill also give visibility tolocal artists and the valley'svibrant art community.

At the event, artists willboth create and sell theirwares. A blacksmith, a glassblower and a batik painterare just a few of the artistswho will showcase theircreative process.

EASTERN OREGONOREGON IN BRIEFErom wire reports

Building will warnof earthquakes

office building will be able towarn tenants when an earth­quake is about to strike.

KGW-TV reported that theRadiator building is equippedwith an earthquake earlywarning system. Sensorsburied below the building candetect an initial rupture ofan earthquake and instantlysound an alarm and sendtext messages to tenantsbefore more damaging shockwaves arrive.

The system will also lowerthe elevators and lock themto the ground floor and turnoff the gas main.

The developer Kaiser groupsays it is the first early-warn­ing system of its kind in theNorthwest. It cost $65,000.

Bike commutingincreases to 7 percent

land Bureau of Transportationhas found bike commutingspiked to 7.2 percent last year.

KATU-TV reported thataccording to a report pub­lished by the U.S. CensusBureau, 23,347 Portlandresidents commuted to workby bike in 2014, an increaseof 27 percent — or 5,010 com­muters — from 2013.

Portland's bike commutingrate was only at 2.8 percentin 2004.

Portland TransportationDirector Leah Treat says theincrease in bike commutingis due to investment in proj­ects to make biking safer inthe city as well as encourag­ing people to try biking.

PORTLAND — The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Servicesays two salamanders inOregon and Washington mayqualify for Endangered Spe­cies Act protection.

The findings on Tuesdayabout the Cascade torrentsalamander and Columbiatorrent salamander mean theagency will initiate full statusreviews for the species to seeif they warrant protection.

The findings come inresponse to a petition by theCenter for Biological Diversity.The Center first asked forprotection for the salamandersin 2012. The petition said theyare increasinglyrare becauseofhabitat loss due primarily tologging and road building.

The four-inch brown sala­manders live in forest streamsand are found onlyin a smallstretch of the Cascades andCoastrange. Biologists saytheir health is an indicator ofthe overall health of streams.

of evidence retested thescale of the problem willbe significantly narrowed,"Hummel said.

In a letter to Vitolins, datedSept. 7 andreleased to TheBulletin on Thursday, OregonState Police Maj.Andy Heiderwrote the state police's forensicservices division"recentlyidentified an issue involvingthe mishandling of a con­tmlled substance abuse case."

Heider did not identifythe analyst in question butwrote that after becomingaware of the issue, the statepolice began a criminalinvestigation and"review ofcase work associated withthe handling of controlledsubstances within the OSPlab environment."

Should Oracle getKitzhaber emails?

SALEM — The state ofOregon is asking a MarionCounty judge whether itmust give former Gov. JohnKitzhaber's personal emailsto Oracle Corp.

The request was filedWednesday in the year-old le­gal dispute over the troubledCover Oregon health insur­ance website.

Oracle is seeking emailsfrom Kitzhaber's privateGmail account, which werearchived on state servers, butKitzhaber has threatened tosue if the emails are released.

The former governor con­tends his emails were acciden­tally archived and are illegallyin the state's possession.

Lawyers for the state takeno position about whether theemails should go to Oracle.

Kitzhaber has been fight­ing for months to keep stateofficials from looking at theemails or turning them overto federal investigators.

Culham said all animal dung col­lected inside and outside the groundsshould be stockpiled and transportedto a landfill.Upon being informed of what was

happening, John Byers, Oregon Depart­ment of Agriculture Agricultural WaterQuality program manager, said he hadan inspector investigate the matter.

After speakug with the employees andvolunteers fiom the city and the Round­UpAssociation, who share the responsi­bilityofdeaning the bridge, the inspectoradvised both to halt the practice.

Reporters did not witness cityemployees dumping horse manure intothe river.

Regardless of who was doing thedisposal, Byers said he hoped the wordgot out to cease doing it.

'You can't impede waters in thisstate, and horse manure qualifies as animpediment," he said.

Local officials were not happy at the

mel.According to the OntarioArgus Observer, inAugust2011, Larsen was working asa forensic scientistin the statecrime lab in Ontario, whichat the time processed cases inHarney, Grant, M alheur andBaker counties.

Hummel said Thursdayhe hoped to finish his reviewof the 502 cases by Tuesday,two days before he is setto meet with an attorney

Vitolins'letter as Larsen,had I

thought ofhorse waste being shoveledinto the river.

"It's a sad thing and that should not

happen," said John Staldine, the duectorof the Umatilla Basin Watershed Council.Staldine said the presence ofhorse

feces in the water could raise the risk ofE. Coli and cause other sanitation issues,especially among people who use theUmatilla River for recreational purposes.

He said he would look into the mat­ter and advise the Round-Up againstthe practice.

Pendleton Public Works Director BobPatterson was similarly displeased.

"That's not cool," he said.Although he was concerned that

horse manure could add ammonia tothe river's water during a period oflowflow, Patterson said the city's drinkingwater would not be affected because itwas drawn further upstream.

Patterson said the city would discussthe issue with the rodeo.

An early offensive barrage from the Valevolleyball team was ultimately too muchfor La Grande to overcome Thursday as theVikings won in four sets, 25-6, 25-14, 20-25,25-18, to spoil the Tigers' home opener."I think we were nervous," La Grande head

coach Melinda Becker-Bisenius said.'This wasour first home game, so there was a lot of jittersand we let it get to us the first couple of games."

"They are super well-rounded (andlthey have tons of experience," Covehead coach Darcy Carreiro said of theHilanders.

As a result, the team wonits first two games with rela­tive ease.

But the Vikings thwarted La Grande'ssecond rally attempt. A kill by Preslee Jensenstretched the lead back to three and keyed amatch-ending 6-1 run, capped with a kill fromDallie Johnson.

''We refocused on our game plan," Vale head

WASHINGTON — TheObama administration willbypass the diKcult politicaldecision of selecting a singlealternative U.S. site for theGuantanamo Bay, Cuba,detention facility when itsends Congress its much-an­ticipated plan for shutteringthe controversial prison.

Deputy Defense SecretaryRobert Work, whose depart­ment has been evaluatingseveral prospective sites, toldCQ he expects the admin­istration to submit its planwithin the next month. Butrather than choosing onedomestic facility to housethe detainees still held atGuantanamo, Work said thereport will include a menu ofoptions and the costs associ­

ated with each of those.That approach will fall flat

with Senate Armed ServicesChairman John McCain,who has been pushing theadministration for months tosubmit a detailed roadmapfor Guantanamo's closure.

Gray wolf confirmedin Michigan

DETROIT — It took a yearand a half, but there's nowno doubt: The animal spottedon a trail camera in EmmetCounty in the northwesternLower Peninsula was indeeda gray wolf — only thesecond one confirmed in theLower Peninsula since 1910.

The wolf was confirmed onthe reservation land of theLittle Traverse Bay Bands ofOdawa Indians.

After spotting wolf-like

tracks and seeing whatappeared to be a wolf on atrail camera in March 2014,tribal biologists were ableto collect scat and send it toTrent University in Peter­borough, Ontario, for analy­sis. The results came backlast week and confirmed agray wolf.

They also show it is notlikely an escaped captivewolf, as its genetic informa­tion closely matches that ofwolves in northeast Ontario.

Death toll in California Firesjumps as 2 more bodies foundThe Associated Press

Republican presidential candidates Ben Carson, left, and DonaldTrump during theGOP debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California, on Wednesday.

GOPcandiliatesconfromtfronl-runnerIrumglllieiIIte

said to Trump, in a jab atTrump's old TV show.aWe

need someone who can actu­ally get the job done."

And for Carly Fiorina,the former business execu­tive who graduated to themain debate after a shiningperformance in last month'sundercard forum, it meantdismissing Trump as "anentertainer" while position­ing herself as someone whocould withstand the grind ofa national campaign.

Trump seemed to nodtoward humility in his open­ing statement, eschewing a"braggadocious" style, but hequickly reverted to form. Hezinged Kentucky Sen. RandPaul over his low poll num­bers after Paul called him"sophomoric," and he notedthat Walker went"down thetubes" in Iowa.

At one early point, as heand Bush sparred, Trumptweaked his rival by ac­knowledging Bush's newlyaggressive approach:"Moreenergy tonight. I like that."

For the sprawling cast ofRepublican presidential con­tenders running in Trump's

shadow, the debates in SimiValley offered a chance tom ake their cases before atelevision audience likely inthe tens of millions.But it also emerged as

a test of viability for once­touted contenders who'vebeen upstaged by politicaloutsiders, and others sud­denly struggling to demon­strate they still belong in theconversation at all.It also proved to be some­

thing of an endurance testfor the leading contenders,as they answered questionsfor more than three hours ontopics including immigrationand abortion, terrorism andthe Iran nuclear deal, andeven vaccinations and whichwoman should appear on the$10 bill.

But once again it wasTrump at the front andcenter, both literally andfiguratively. The urgencyof confronting him wasclear immediately. In thepreliminary debate amongfour GOP hopefuls laggingin the polls, Trump was notpresent but was frequently(hscussed.

Republicans eager to dislodgeDonald Trump from hisperch at the top of primarypolls and reset the turbu­lent 2016 presidential raceshowed new willingness todirectly confront the real-es­tate magnate in a marathondebate Wednesday, question­ing his temperament, au­thenticity and conservativebona fides during a criticalshowdown at the ReaganPresidential Library.

For one-time front-runnerJeb Bush, that meant goingtoe-to-toe with Trump overhis business record whileportraying himself as a"steady hand."

For Wisconsin Gov. ScottWalker, who spiked in earlypolling but fell to earth asTrump took off, it meanthighlighting his successfulbattles with labor unionswhile rebutting the Demo­cratic talking points he saidTrump had borrowed.

CHILE EARTHQUAIt',EMan overcomes disabilities,but not high school prejudice

15 months. I know he has three sisters and abrother. All he has said is they are not closeand he doesn't keep in touch with them.There are no cards at holiday time, no phonecalls or any mention of any of them (thereare nieces and nephews, too), and no expla­nation about why they don't talk.Should I be concerned that he doesn't

share any of this with me? He has beenvery involved with my entirefamily, but I have never met a

ABBY — KEPT IN THE DARKIN MASSACHUSETTS

DEAR KEPT IN THEDARK After 15 months of dating, youshould be able to discuss this with himand get some honest answers. There areprobably good reasons why this man andhis family are estranged. They may havebeen abusive to him, or he may be the blacksheep of the family. But you will never knowunless you ask directly.

DEAR ABBY: Last year Igave my new(at that time) girlfriend, "Alyssa,"a pair ofearrings for her birthday. They were in a boxfrom a department store marked "Pnej ew­elry."She loved them and became emotionalin expressing hergratitude. Ithoughtitwasbecause it was the ftrst piece ofj ewelry I hadever bought for her.W hen she opened the box I explained that

they were her birthstone — sapphires — butwhite sapphires. In her excitement she musthave missed that part.

The earrings are large — maybe onecarat apiece. Yesterday I overheard mygranddaughter ask Alyssa if they were realdiamonds, and Alyssa told her yes!

I kept my mouth shut when she said it, butnow I understand why she was so excitedwhen she first saw them. She cherishes theearrings and has told me numerous timesshe will never take them off.

I want to make this rig ht, but I'm afraidshe'll feel embarrassed because she musthave told her girlftv'ends and family Igaveher diamond earrings — which I didn't.Abby, what do I do?

— LOVING BOYFRIEND IN VIRGINIADEAR BOYFRIEND: You should

straighten this out with your girlfriend, butdo it privately. After that, let her disclose thefact that her diamond earrings are reallysapphires at her discretion — or not.

DEARABBY: Today was my high schoolreunion. I was the most notable studentfor all the wrong reasons. I was born withsome birth defects and learning disabilities.I overcame them, but it was hard. Whileworking blue-collarjobs, Ilivedin my car fora few years.

On a cold winter night several yearsago, I met Dr. Xin the emergency room. Hewas a former classmate ofmine, and we pretendednot to know one another. Hediscovered I was living in mycar and heard some of mystory. Then he arranged forme to be admitted to the hospitalfor a dayso I could get warmed up and recover. WhenI left the hospital, I found a $100 bill in thegas tank door ofmy van. I'm sureit wasfrom him.

Inow have a home ofmy own andI'mdoing OK considering everything. When Isent my reservation and check to the reunioncommittee, it was returned uncashed witha $50 bill along with a note saying "Pleasedon't come."The reunion was being held onthe estate of Dr. X

I guess my classmates are more closed­minded than I thought they would be. I washoping age would mellow them. In additionto the reservation return, I have seen afewforwarded emails mocking my attempts tofi nd out about the event. I hope none of thosepeople were blessed with a child with learn­ing or physical issues.

Iguess people never change on somethings. Thankfully, I have found nicer, caringpeople along myjourney in life, and for thatI'd like to thank all of the kind people in theworld.

DEAR UNEXPECTED SUCCESS: Yourletter shocked me. I am glad to know howyou are doing. Although people age, it's ap­parent that not all of them mature.

In case you haven't yet realized it, youweren't the only student in your class withproblems. People who would behave as youhave described were obviously born withouta heart. It is inexcusable for you to havebeen treated the way you were. In recogni­tion of the challenges you have overcome,you should have been the guest ofhonor atthe reunion.

HONOLULU — A tsu­nami advisory was droppedfor Hawaii Thursday, themorning after a powerfulearthquake off Chile. But itremained in effect for parts ofcoastal California.

The Pacific Tsunami Warn­ing Center first issued a moreserious tsunami watch forHawaii shortly after Wednes­day's magnitude-8.3 earth­quake. Officiais later down­graded that to an advisory,saying no major tsunami wasexpected in the state.

But they warned that sea­level changes and dangerouscurrents could pose a threatto those in or near the water.

A 3-foot wave was recordedat Hilo Harbor on Hawaii'sBig Island shortly after 4a.m. Thursday, NationalW eather Service forecasterTom Birchard said from hisHonolulu office. He said hehadn't heard of any signifi­cant impacts.

Tsunami wave heightsacross Hawaii were belowadvisory levels and continuedto diminish, the Pacific Tsu­nami Warning Center said incanceling the advisory.

"Small sea level changesand strong or unusual cur­rents may persist for severaladditional hours in somecoastal areas and appropri­ate caution should exercisedby boaters and swimmers,"the center said.

In California, a slight oceansurge and powerful currentswere reported at points alongthe entire coast, scientists andlocal officials said.

Ventura Harbor in South­ern California experienced a1.1-foot tsunami, while 0.4 footheights were reported in San

DEER RIFLE HUNTING SEASON HUNTING TIPS

BASE CAMPTQM CLAYCQMB

WesCom News ServiceBy Jayson Jacoby

The fires that swept acrossswathes of northeastern Oregonthis summer made history.

Never had flames blackenedso many acres, or forced so manyresidents to evacuate.

The fires' effects on wildlife aremore difficult to quantify, at least inthe short term.

But as thousands ofbuck deerhunters prepare for the annual rifleseason that runs Oct. 3-14, a coupleof generalities will come into play,according to wildlife biologists withthe Oregon Department of Fish andWildlife.

Most notably, deer are likely to beabsent, or at least scarce, in areaswhere the fires charred most of thegrass and brush that deer dependon for food.

"Forage will definitely be limited

in those areas," said Justin Pri­mus, assistant district biologist atODFWs Baker City office.

Baker CountyThe Cornet/Windy Ridge Fire,

the biggest in Baker County history,covered almost 104,000 acres, allwithin the Sumpter unit.

Primus points out, though, thatsuch a massive area — 162 squaremiles — still amounts to only about10 percent of the Sumpter unit's

That leaves large chunks ofground for the approximately 1,650Sumpter unit buck hunters tospread out.

"I would expect that most peoplewon't choose to hunt in the burnedarea," Primus said.

Hunters who do, though, mighthave an advantage.

The fire, especially where it burnedhottest, pretty much erased the hid­ing cover that bucks use when theyfeel threatened, Primus said.

"If you're glassing iwith binocu­lars or a spotting scope) you're going

With several wildfires scorching land in northeast Oregon, some hunters could have fewer opportunities to cash in their buck tag

to have the ability to spot what­ever's there," he said.

Moreover, hunters who are sur­veying the fire area won't need tobother looking for deer in the black­ened spots. They can concentrateinstead on the islands of unburnedor lightly burned ground, sincethat's where the bucks that haven'tmoved elsewhere are likely to be.

A significant number of deerthat lived in the burned area havemoved, though, and they probablywon't return until next spring.

Primus said he doubts many ofthose deer migrated into a differentunit — Lookout Mountain, for in­stance, which borders the Sumpterunit to the north.

But some bucks probably movedwest, along the divide between theBurnt and Powder rivers, in partbecause that's excellent winterrange for deer, said Brian Ratliff,head district biologist at the BakerCity office.

The fires could affect buck hunt­ers in a more fundamental way­

There are no area or road clo­sures in effect for the Cornet/WindyRidge Fire, but burned trees androcks could temporarily block roadsfor hunters who don't happen tohave a saw or axe.

As of mid-September, the situa­tion was different at the Eagle Com­plex, which burned about 13,000acres in the Keating unit.Sections of several roads were

still closed there, although thoseclosures might be canceled beforethe buck season starts Oct. 3.

Besides potential road closures,Primus doesn't expect the EagleComplex will have a significant ef­fect on deer populations, or on deerhunters, in the Keating unit.

Wallowa County

The Grizzly Bear Complex is them ajor factor here.

But Pat Matthews doesn't thinkthe fire will cause major problemsfor buck hunters in Wallowa County.

tthink people who are suc­cessful year after year do two

things that most other huntersdon't do.

They scout.They schedule 10 days to hunt.I'm not saying that you can't

be successful if you don't dothese two things, but you will bea lot more consistent on punch­ing your tags if you do. I thinkthe main reason most peopledon't scout like they shouldis because most poor suckersonly have 10 days of vacation.Ifhe spends a few of those daysscouting and then a week hunt­ing he has no time for his family.So I understand the dilemma,but the more time you canspend on these two items, themore successful you'll be.So let's cover the basics on

how to scout. If you're hunt­ing in your old hunting area, itwon't require as much scouting.You know the lay of the land,how the animals travel, etc., butif there's been a fire or wolveshave moved in, things will be allscrambled up so it will be almostlike starting anew. So it's neces­sary to at least scout a little biteven in your old hunting spot.

If I'm going to a new area,here's a few things I do.

Get maps. I use MyTopoiTrimblel maps a lot. They makealmost anything that you canimagine. If you study a map,a lot of times you'll figure outwhere the game ought to be.

Next, don't forget to call thelocal game warden and biolo­gist. They can be very helpfuland have helped educate me onthe habits of the local animals,which can vary from place toplace. For instance, this year Idrew an antelope tag in south­west Idaho — right where thefires have been. Where I'll haveto hunt now the antelope behavedifferently and are in totallydifferent terrain than anywherethat I've ever antelope huntedbefore. The local game wardenand biologist really helpededucate me.

One disclaimer on Fish andGame, though: don't expect to goin and have them tell you rightwhere to be on opening day so youcan blast a big bull. A guide doesthat and you pay him $5,500.

Next, you'll have to wear outthe boot leather. I always like tohave three spots in case some­one else is in my spot on open­ing day, the wolves have movedin and spooked everything out oftheir wits or whatever else. Forinstance, once I was supposedto meet a buddy before daylightat a trailhead for a blackpowderhunt. Right when I got there, hesaid we had to move — there'speople walking around only in

Baker County: Archery hunters should find deer and elk around water and cool, moistnorthern aspects. The continuation of warm temperatures will limit animal activity to earlymorning and late evening. Remember to checkthe regulations for the area you will be hunting.

Wallowa County: Bull elk archery hunting was good for the opening weekend in mostunits. Hunters are having to deal with very dly hunting conditions. Buck hunters can expectonly fair success as deer numbers are still below management objective and dly conditions willmake stalking difficult.

Union County: Black bears are plentiful. Look for signs around fruit trees and in canyon bot­toms. Bears can be concentrated along creeks and rivers in the late summer. This year's berrycrop is notquite what 20i4was but should still make for good hunting.

DEER RIFLE HUNTING SEASON

don't have to deal withnearly the aftermath offires as Baker and Wallowacounty hunters do, and therainfall that has come in re­cent weeks, though not a lot,definitely helps conditions."It's a good start," said

Leonard Erickson, ODFWbiologist in La Grande."I goout and look at my pastureat home iandl stuff that wasdry is starting to green up.Should we get some morerain this week and thetemperatures stay relativelywarm, it'll make for somegood fall regrowth for deer."

Erickson said the weatherchange is definitely benefit­ting the archery hunterswho are currently out in thefield, and that should carryover into next month, whenroughly 1,800 rifle hunterswill step into the Starkey,Catherine Creek and EastMount Emily units, thethree main units in UnionCounty.

"Right now in terms ofrifle buck season, it's squar­ing away to be a potentiallydecent season," he said.

He warned, however,that October is a bit of anunknown insofar as whatthe weather will do.

"October can turn hot anddry and dusty," he said.

Overall numbers in theStarkey, East Mount Emilyand Catherine Creek unitsare below managementobjective, but the buck ratiosin each are close to average.

Starkey deer huntershead into the season lookingat a buck ratio of 12 bucksper 100 does, a numberdown from recent yearsand below the M.O. of 15.Catherine Creek is right atthe M.O. of 16 bucks per 100and slightly ahead oflastyear, and East Mount Emilyis right at the M.O. of15bucks per 100 does.

The drought that hasdeepened over EasternOregon during the past twoyears has done deer huntersno favors.

From wildfires that havelimited access, to forests andrangelands littered withdesiccated grass and brushthat makes a cacophonywith every step, the drystretch poses potentialproblems for hunters whodrew a buck tag for the Oct.3-14 season.

Baker CountyBut the situation isn't al­

together dismal for huntersin Baker County.

Certainlymost hunterswould be grateful shoulda couple of au~ rai nstorms arrive before the sea­son begins in two weeks.

If nothing else themoisture would soften, andquiet, the generally crunchyconditions in the woods andmake for better stalking.

But even if the weatherfails to cooperate, buck num­bers have been increasingin three of the county's fourunits — Lookout Mountain,Keating and Pine Creek,said Justin Primus, assis­tant district wildlife biolo­gist at the Oregon Depart­ment of Fish and Wildlife'sBaker City office.

The number of tagsODFW has sold reflectsthose population trends.

The Keating unit's alloca­tion, for instance, has risenfrom 450 in 2014 to 550this year.

Rifle hunters mightbenefit, Primus said, fiom theproblems that have plaguedarchery hunters.

A combination of poorstalking conditions andwidespread road and areaclosures due to wildfireprobably has resulted inlower-than-average suc­cess among archery deerhunters.

"And any bucks thatdon't get harvested duringthe archery season will beavailable for rifle hunters,"Primus said. Deer herdsin Baker County's biggestunit — Sumpter — haven'tfared quite as well as in thethree other units the pastcouple years. And wildfiresburned far more acres onthe Sumpter unit than onthe others.

Still, ODFW has boostedtag numbers for the Sumpt­er unit, and Primus expectsbuck hunters will have agood chance to fill their tagsnext month.

If dry, warm weatherpersists, bucks probably willroam less widely than usualand instead stay close to thefew reliable water sources.

Wallowa County

While the rain that hasdescended on northeastOregon in recent weeks isdefinitely a welcome sight,hunters preparing for thedeer rifle season, whichbegins Oct. 3, couldn't neces­sarily be considered greedyif they wanted more.

"If during the buckseason we have cooler, moistweather, it always helpsthe hunters in that regard,"said Pat Matthews, ODFWbiologist in Enterprise."Itjust makes hunters' successgo up a little bit."

That's partially becauseany additional moisturehelps stalking abilities sothat hunters aren't crunch­ing through the WallowaCounty wilderness whensearching for prey.

'The rain at this pointmainly just helps huntersbe quieter in the woods,but if we have another two

weeks of dry weather, it isn'tgoing to make a difference,"Matthews said.

The recent rain indeedhelps, but with the seasonstill two weeks away, Mat­thews said it's hard to judgewhat the conditions will belike when the hunt begins.

"Especially since we don'tknow what the next coupleof weeks are going to bring,"he said.

There is potential for agood buck season in WallowaCounty, as the buck-per-doeratio is at or above manage­ment objective in five of thecounty's six units, and actualnumbers are likely evenhigher than the ratios, whichwere taken last year.

'This fall during the buckseason we have a higherratio ofbucks because thatfigure doesn't account forthe yearling bucks that willbe available this October,"Matthews explained.

He added, however, thatit's more difficult to say howmany deer will actuallybe available, as the officegauges only the ratios andnot the full deer population.

The ratios in Sled Springsi12 bucks per 100 does),Chesnimnus i12 per 100land Snake River i25 per100l are all at the m anage­ment objective, while Wena­ha i13 per 100l and Imnahai17 per 100l are both abovemanagement objective. Onlythe Minam unit i20 per 100lis currently below manage­m ent objective.

Those numbers bode wellfor the roughly 4,500 riflehunters who will descendon the Wallowa units in thecoming weeks.Also of note, black bear

season began Aug. 1 in Wal­lowa County.

aWe've had a number ofbears that have been takenby hunters," he said."Hunt­ers have been seeing bearsand harvesting some bears."

A virus that kills deerand for which whitetailsare especially susceptibleso far seems to be confinedto a small section of BakerCounty.

Lab tests at Oregon StateUniversity confirmed thatEpizootic HemorrhagicDisease recently killed atleast one whitetail deer inBaker Valley a few mileswest of Baker City, saidJustin Primus, assistantdistrict wildlife biologist atthe Oregon Department ofFish and Wildlife's BakerCity office.

Residents along the edge ofthe valley where it meets theElkhorn Mountains have re­ported at least a dozen otherdead whitetails over the pastmonth, Primus said.

None of those carcasseshad obvious wounds fromeither a predator attack, abullet or an arrow, he said.

He suspects EHD killedthose deer as well.

Primus said the possibleoutbreak of the virus, whichis spread by midges, a type ofbiting fly, shouldn't affect therifle deer-hunting season thatruns fiom Oct. 3-14.

Mule deer can also contractEHD fiom the bite of midges,but there have been no con­firmed cases of the virus inmule deer, Primus said.

EHD outbreaks happenoccasionallyin Oregon but thediseaseis not commonin thestate, said Colin Gillin, ODFW'sstate wildlife veterinarian.

"Mule deer can get it,and we had an outbreak inblacktail deer near Roseburglast year, but it's principallya disease of whitetail deer,"Gillin said.

The virus is spread only byinsect bites — deer can't beinfected through contact withother deer or animals.

Mule deer are byfar themost common deer species inmost of Eastern Oregon.

There are whitetail herdsin Baker, Union and Wallowacounties.

In Baker County, most ofthe whitetails live along thebase of the Elkhorns west andnorthwest of Baker City.

Significant outbreaks ofEHD are more common instates with large populationsof whitetail deer, Gillin said.

The virus isn't confined toeastern states, though.

In 2003 EHD killed anestimated 150 to 200 deeralong the Clearwater Riverin Northern Idaho.

The virus can also infectpronghorn antelope and,more rarely, elk or moose.

Almost every recorded out­break of EHD has happenedin late summer or early fall,according to the Michigan

Department of NaturalResources.

The timing is not a coinci­dence, Gillin said.

During late summer­especially in a drought yearsuch as 2015 — deer tend tocongregate around the rela­tively few water sources.

Those areas also tend to bebreeding grounds for midges,Gillin said. If the midgeshappen to be carrying EHD,an outbreak is possible.

The virus can kill deer injusta couple of days, Gillin said.

EHD poses no threat topeople or to cats or dogs be­cause they can't contract thevirus through midges, he said.

Nor can people become illby eating the meat of a deeror other animal that hascontracted EHD.

Carlson said he has guided30 to 40 official hunts, mostlyin the Tri-Cities area, with afew others scattered aroundthe state of Oregon.

Next month, he'll guide ahunt through S2 Outfittersout of Scappoose.

"I talked to the owneriEric Strand) and he donateda hunt to Oregon HuntersAssociation," Carlson said.''With the hunt associated,I told him I would do all theguiding.

Carlson will work ofFofStrand's license, a require­ment only for an official hunt.

"As long as you are guidingofFof someone else's license,the only requirement washaving a first aid and CPRcard," Carlson explained.'The only other requirementsthat I know of is I know howto hunt and deal with theclients. Between Bill andEric, they know me, know Ican get people on birds andhave successful hunts."

Out in the field

Part ofhaving a successfulhunt, Carlson said, is figur­ing out where the birds are.

"One of the most impor­tant parts for m e is scoutingthe birds and knowing wherethey are going to be," he said.'You have to know where theanimals want to be."

When he guides new hunt­ers, Carlson will scout theprospective sites in advance.

On the day of the hunt,Carlson meets with the hunt­ers well before sunrise to headto the hunt site. From therethe group sets up decoys anda layout blind — which is es­sentially in-field camouflage— all to be ready by sun-up.

"The birds should be fly­ing shortly thereafter," hesaid. From there the processincludes "calling the birdsinto the decoys, adjusting thedecoys one way or the otheriandl calling the shots for theclients."

For Island City residentChad Carlson, waterfowlhunting is an experienceworth sharing.

So much so that he hastaken to guiding huntsduring the past decade or sowhen the opportunity arises.

"I've got so much out of

waterfowling that I'd like toget other people involved andhave them experience thesame thing," Carlson said.

But the experience, orwhat even classifies as a suc­cessful hunt, he explained,can be more than just gettinga goose or a duck.

The people can make allthe difference.

'The majority of the time,even if we don't kill a limitofbirds, we have enoughaction and camaraderie thatwe have a good time," hesaid."There's not too manyihuntsl that are just absolutefailures."

Getting into the hunt

A big part of why Carlson­led hunts typically resultin hunters bringing birdshome is that he has closeto 25 years of experience todraw trom — even though hedidn't start out as a water­fowl hunter.

"It was something I saw onTV in the hunting shows," hesaid."I didn't grow up doingit. I just kind of picked it upin college."

But he became enthralledby it, and soaked up all theinformation he could gatherfrom hunting shows, videosand magazines.

From calling into guiding"Eventually I got into, I

guess you'd call it, the sportof competitive duck andgoose calling," he said.

Through the world ofbirdcalls, he became connectedwith Bill Saunders, a calldesigner trom Kennewick,Washington, who at the timewas working for Pacific WingsWaterfowl Adventures out ofWest Richland, Washington.

Eventually, Carlson, who

The spoils of a good day in the field.

The action isn't always hotand heavy, which allows timeto build camaraderie as well.

"There's definitely slowtimes out in the field," hesaid."It's not always justabout the killing part, it'sabout the time spent out inthe field and having fun withyour triends.n

But the entire experienceis made seeing the reaction ofa new hunter bagging a birdfor the first time.

"Anytime I get a kid outthere for the first time andwatch him shoot his first gooseor first duck, that to me standsout," Carlson said."I have akid that I took out when hewas 11or 12, and he's 19 now.He still talks about the firstgoose he shot with me."

For the love of hunting

Carlson has gone backand forth on getting his ownlicense to guide hunts butsaid La Grande's locationdoesn't necessarily result ingood waterfowl hunting.

"I've thought about it," he

said."The one thing aboutthis valley, we're not in amajor flyway. A lot of thebirds out here are local birds.I couldn't always guaranteea successful hunt. There's notthe flyway or water and foodsources."

Plus, he's never been in itfor any sort of profit.

"I don't guide people reallyfor a living," he said."I'vem ade money, but as far as m etaking people out, I do it justfor the love of the sport."And for bringing people

into an activity he has gottenso much out of.

"I enjoy being out there,and when a hunt comestogether where you can shootlimits of geese or ducks, thatis always fun, and seeingthe satisfaction of peoplewho haven't experiencedthat," he said."Being able toshow people what's made mesuccessful is just personalsatisfaction."

They called it Imna'sland. The word"ha" indicat­ed land controlled by a chief.Thus, Imnaha meant, andmeans, Imna's land, and aperson that stands on oneof those high ridges gets asense of what the chief musthave felt when he stood ona high place and looked outover his domain.

We stood on a high placeand talked to a fellow whomans the fire lookout towerthere. He told us that, inall his years at the lookout,this has been his second­quietest fire year since 1993— "which was a wet year,with a lot of rain throughthe summer, not like thisyear — so dry and hot. It'sbeen quiet here, in my littlecorner of Oregon."

My friend James Fla­herty and his son Isaacand I were there to scoutfor mule deer, to snifF fortracks around water holesand look into the canyonswith the long glass. Butdeer were hard to find andthere were grouse in largenumbers, more grouse thanI'd ever seen before.

They must have beenblue grouse. Ruffeds, inmy experience, are usuallyfound a bit lower, down inthe canyons.

By the time we'd talked tothe lookout, both Isaac andI had three grouse apiecefor the day. This was the13-year-old's first grousehunt, and it was shaping upto be one to remember.

It must have been thisway in Imna's time. Thekids in the tribe would havehunted grouse with slingsand stones and bows and ar­rows. Once they had successand had brought some tastybirds back to the wickiup,

Isaac's first bird came easy.We arrived in late

afternoon and had timefor a quick hunt through astand of alder at the headof a spring. Liesl, my youngpudelpointer, locked up assoon as she approached thetree line. Isaac spotted thebird and walked it up andpointed his Remington 870.When the gun spoke, thedog dashed in and Isaac hadhis first grouse. It was thefirst grouse for the pudel­pointer as well.

I had my chance to shoota rufed grouse over her inthe morning. There wereat least three in the coveyand the biggest one blewout of a patch ofberries.The bird crashed to a loadof No. 7-V2s at 35 yards.Liesl and I waded in to thehead-high bushes and thistime I found the bird beforeshe did.

There were two otherbirds with this one. Weheard them beat their wayup into trees. When I wasready to walk away, Isaacsaid he'd hang back. He fig­ured two in the bush mightbe worth one in the hand.

When James and I were30 yards down the trail weheard the bird fly and heardthe sound of the shotgun asIsaac made a diKcult shotthrough the trees.

Stiff and sore fiomwalking all day, we workedour way back to the cabinwhere I cooked seven birdsover a propane stove. Therest of the grouse we atethe way nature providedthem, a taste Imna's peopleknew well, up in those quietmountains in the northeastcorner of Oregon.

Kyle James, who makeshis home in Oregon City, is asoft-spoken 30-year-old whoused to sit in the turret onan armored Humvee withhis finger light on the 240Bravo trigger.

We hunted with him innortheast Oregon's BlueMountains in late August.

There were six of us:James, Phillippe Freeman,Jake Carse, landowner BradAndrews, Sam Pyke and me.We met in Unity at the WaterHole Tavern and planned thehunt over dinner. W e foundout James had grown up inBaker County, and Andrewsknew his family.

Andrews and Freemanhad arranged a damage con­trol tag for elk on Andrews'property in this corner of theBlue Mountains.

James would use Free­man's rifle, a long-barreled7mm Remington UltraMagnum, topped with aLeupold scope and equippedwith a bipod.

"I knew I was ready togo hunting again when Iwanted to go shooting again."That happened last spring,James said.

With the sun in the west,the mountain valleys andthe tops of the yellowed grasswere lit with an orange glow.We sat with our binocularsto our eyes and peered intothickets with the longer glass.

"Elk," I whispered, and thatset off a scramble inside thehay barn as Freeman andJames moved into position.

Elk streamed off the top ofthe hill, in ones and twos andknots of six and seven. Wecould see more coming downthe hill.

Kneeling, using a sheet ofcorrugated steel for a rest,James was on the trigger,Freeman beside him.

There were two spike bullson the slope before us, andtwo branch-antlered bullswere in the group knotted atthe top of the hill. Elk milledon the high slope while theelk began to feed in front ofus. All told, we could havecounted close to 120 elk inthe herd.

"Pick out a lone cow,"Freeman whispered. A shotcrashed in the stillness, anda few elk broke downhill forthe open alfalfa fields, whilethe rest of the herd bunchedon top of the ridge. Westarted up the hill to claimJames' prize.

At the end of it, under asliver of moon in a smokysky, James flashed a widegrin. He was ready to startto work on his first elk, toput the nutritious, whole­some meat aside for hisyoung family.

"I'm a hunter again. It feelsgood," he said.

Healing takes time. Forthis young Army veteran,the road back to the BlueMountains had been longand hard. Welcome home,Kyle James.

office, said the fire's Or­egon portion iabout half theburned acreage is in Wash­ingtonl is confined to theWenaha unit.

That's a smaller unit thanothers in Wallowa County­Sled Springs, Chesnimnus andMinam, for instance — withcorrespondingly fewer tags.

The fire burned hottestin places, including theWenaha- Tucannon Wilder­ness, that don't have largedeer populations, and don'tattract many buck hunters,Matthews said.

"I don't anticipate too muchof a change for hunters" as aresult of the fire, he said.

As with the Eagle Com­plex, he said it's possible thatroad or area closures will putsome parts of the Wenahaunit off-limits to hunters.

"But I'm hoping that byOctober there won't be anyclosures in effect," Matthewssald.

The fire is more likely toinfluence the movementsof whitetail deer than muledeer, he said.

Whitetail deer are commonin the Wenaha unit and makeup a significant percentageof the bucks harvested thereeach fall.

Because they're moreskittish than mule deer,whitetails prefer habitatthat includes thick tree coverwhere they can hide, Mat­thews said.

Whitetails are likely toavoid places where the fireconsumed that cover — asin parts of the Cornet/WindyRidge Fire.Mule deer, though, adapt

m ore readily to the effects ofa fire, Matthews said.

"It's amazing how theanimals not only can escapethe fire, but they're right backthere in the burned area," hesaid.'You wonder what theyfind to eat, but they knowwhere they want to be."

The Phillips Creek Fire,which burned roughly 2,600acres northwest of Elgin,was the biggest blaze in thecounty this summer.

The main impact in thatarea could be for hunterswhose prey moved because ofthe fire.

And though it likely won'thappen in time for rifledeer season, which starts intwo weeks, any additionalmoisture at the fire locationcould provide a benefit forthe upcoming elk season orin the long run.

Grouse season is already under way in northeast Oregon, while hunting season forpheasant, chukar and California quail, among others, begins Oct. 10.

Upland bird hunters couldbenefit from recent drought• The recent lackof rain in northeastOregon has helpedbird numbers riseBy Josh Benham

The lack of rain over thelast half of the year was aburden to just about every­bodyin northeast Oregon.But for upland game birdsiand, therefore, those hunt­ing for them), it was actuallya big positive.

The hunting season forthe majority of upland gamebirds begins next month.Blue and ruffed grouseseasons, plus mourning dove,began Sept. 1, but for huntersof pheasant, chukar, hungar­ian partridge and Californiaquail, the season begins Oct.10 in Eastern Oregon.

"Most of the seasons openup on the same day," said ¹gel Seidel, the acting managerfor Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area.'They actually start to nest inthe spring, but grouse broodsarea earlier in the spring, andso they become large enoughto harvest earlier."

From his vantage point,Seidel said he's witnessingsome promising early signsfor the hunting season.

"In general around thewildlife area, we're seeinga really good number ofpheasant, duck and quailbroods," he said.'That shouldextrapolate to the otherpopulated areas of UnionCounty, too."

There's always a numberof factors that contributeto hunting numbers goingup or down. But Seidel saidone of the main reasons issurprisingly the low rainfall,with a caveat.

"It was the lack ofrain butduring specific times of theyear," Seidel said.

He believes it was certaintime periods leading up tothe heart of summertimethat were the most effectivein producing good numbers.

"In most cases, it's thattime from later in April intoearly May when the eggs willactually hatch," Seidel said."So it's that mid to late Mayrange into early June, whereif we get substantial rain, oreven hail, it's bad for birds.A little shower isn't bad, butthe those big downpoursdrown out the little chicks.And even in the nesting peri­od, the nests can get flooded,or hail will actually crack theegg open, for instance."

The lack of precipitationdidn't have a big impact onthe habitat, specifically for

Union County, as the fire sea­son didn't hit this area as badas neighboring counties. Theamount of vegetation wasstill sustainable for the birdpopulations, which could stillfeast on generous amounts ofinsects and invertebrates.

"It's a fine line on the lackof rain, but there was stillplenty to forage," Seidel said.

The duck numbers, how­ever, are one of the few birdsthat appear to have beenaffected by the lack of water,especially in wildlife areas,Seidel said. There have beena number of ducks hit by carson Highway 30, for example,as the duck broods movearound and cross from laketo lake, as the lake optionsfor the bird dwindled.

But for the most part, thetypical areas should be ripe

for hunting. Ladd Marsh isone of those areas, but onlycertain parts are open tohunting.

"A lot of the farmlands inthe i Grande Ronde Valley)w ill have some great oppor­tunities to hunt pheasants.There's always a lot of quailin the valley, and up into thesagebrush habitat, we're see­ing good numbers of birds,"Seidel said.

So he expects a fine uplandgame bird season.

"I think it'll be the same orbetter than any of the pastfew years," Seidel said."Justdriving around here I seea lot ofbroods that shouldallow people to get out andharvest something. Or atleast they11 have the chanceto have some interactionswith the birds."

Cameron Scott, right, shown in a photo with a client, hooked his first steelhead at dusk after bugging a fishing friendto stay out a little longer.

didn't actually becomea steelhead fisherman

until I finally arrived inWallowa County one winterin early January to teachcreative writing to WallowaCounty's youth as a writer­in-residence for Fishtrap, anonprofit located in Enter­prise. I was, at the time, insearch of a different life path.Holding down meaninglessw inter jobs and breaking iceout of the guides of my fly rodas I slowly contemplated theevening's meal of Top Ramenand froze to death whileimmersed in the solitude ofRocky Mountain rivers hadits charms. But too often, toofew. And so, as Ben Hayesand I descended one of themany golden-hued basalt­stepped canyons of WallowaCounty, it felt like I wascoming home. The farther wedescended, the more buoy­ant I felt. I was going fishing,only this time for steelhead.

What turned out to be arather mild late January daywith the occasional smolt orwhitefish on the line quicklyturned late. I sensed, as thehours passed, that I couldn'tfly fish for steelhead as Ialways had for trout. Sure, Idredged every possible troutlie I could find under a slowmovingindicator, but it wasn'tproducing any steelhead.Mulling over multiple steel­head sayings I'd heard overthe years like walking-pacedwater, just this side of swiftmoving currents and mightnot even be in the river, I triedto focus and kept pushingmyself to get good drifts.

'You ready to go yet?a Ben

asked."In a second," I replied.The most difficult part

about fishing with someonesusceptible to chance is ourZen-like-Las-Vegas-going-to­win-the-next-hand-intensitythat turns us into absoluteliars. I'd learned all I could

"Let's go," Ben said."I know. Just give me a few

more casts," I requested."It's too dark," Ben said."OK, five more casts," I

replied.The mark of a good fishing

buddy, someone I will fish withover and over again, is either:

• they are areally nice

• they are just as bad withall this last cast business as Iam and occasionally wanderinto camp or back to the ve­hicle even later than I do anddon't mind hiking out of riverdrainages under the power ofheadlamps.

Ben, being the smart, intel­ligent, unaffected type, is theprior. And as I cast, and cast,and cast, and it grew darkerand darker and darker, I bethe was counting the ways hewould not ever go fishing withme again. Back in the truck,I was going to have to pull offa whole new level of regret­fullness and admittance tohaving a fishing"problem,"which always left me uproot­ed, moving around, restless,and for the love of somethingother than fish. How great itwas to have fiiends that werenot only as nice as Ben, butfly-fished, too.

"Alright, seriously, this ismy final cast," I promised.

And then, bam. The sil­houette of indicator suddenlywent down, I lifted my rodtip, and lo and behold therewas a big, angry, steelheadon the other end of the line,tail slapping the water beforescreaming off down river.It does no good to go into

what it would have meantto lose this first steelhead ona fly rod, things being whatthey were, year accumulat­ing upon year, trout upontrout, in a thick soupy blur.It would have given Ben anopportunity, not that a goodguy like him would havetaken advantage, to take the

person,or

low road as often goes withfishing tensions, saying howsorry he was that I lost it,when really he was inwardlyhappy I had met my indul­gence with such dishearten­ing and devastating failure.

"Better luck next time.""Bummer, man."''When a cookie crumbles,

it really crumbles. I'll go getyou a beer from the cooler."

But, for as much as Ishould have lost that fishamong the jumbled tail­out ofboulders as it rippedin and out, attempting totie my line up and underone, I kept the rod tip high,splashed about in the riverlike amad man as Benranback to the truck for the net,and with Ben's help, landedthe steelhead.

It turned out to be a smallhatchery female, 22 inches,flamed-out scarlet red onthe gill plate and bright redtoward the tail with a bit oforange toward the belly. Itwas breathtakingly gorgeous.Ben kept mumbling some­thing about how lucky I was.And I was. All grins.

As I lifted both the steel­head and myself fiom thewater, punched Ben on theshoulder and walked backthrough the descendingwinter gloom to the truck, Ihad finally caught the fish inlife that contained a handfulof shared paradoxes: alwaysmoving, river-centric anddriven hard by the cycles oflife. Sure, there were other fishto catch. Bigger fish. Smallerfish. Fish with teeth and fishwithout. But this fish, thisfish called a steelhead, thiswas the one, here down in thebasalt-stepped canyon, thatfelt closest to home.

Steelhead fishing innortheast Oregon couldbring in some positiveresults this fall, even ifOregon Department ofFishand Wildlife Fish BiologistKyle Bratcher is somewhatskeptical of the initialnumbers.

cWe're looking at a reallystrong run," Bratcher said."Right now the guess issomewhere around 20,000fish on the Grande Rondeand the Imhana iriversl.a

That number is the esti­mate based on the countsreceived on fish that havecleared Bonneville Dam.

But other numbers alongthe Columbia River haveBratcher waiting to seewhat becomes of the initialguesses.

"Overall for the wholeColumbia River Basin, thenumbers are down," he said,explaining his skepticism.But even if the number

that actually reaches thearea is lower than 20,000,its seems likely that steel­head anglers are primed tohave a good season aheadof them.

Bratcher noted that"14,000 is a solid numbercrossing Bonneville," andthat anything higher im­proves the experience.

cWe got 19,000 overBonneville iin 2014l andlast year was a phenomenalsteelhead year," he said.'Youstart getting up into 19­20,000 range, you're gettinginto really good fishing."

Those high return ratesshould result in some bet­ter catching rates as well.Bratcher said he likes tosee rates below an averageof one fish every 10 hours,and said fishermen shouldsee numbers well belowthat mark.

''When we get these really

benefit fiom an extendedseason, as a Sept. 4decisionby the Oregon Fish andWildlife Commission addedtwo weeks to the end of theseason. Anglers will now beable to fish untilApril 30.The season started Sept. 1.

The decision is one thatBratcher pushed for, sayingthat steelhead fishing isoftentimes good even latein the season and that theEnterprise office hasn't metits harvest objectives inrecent years.

cWe've had reports ofpeople going out the lastdays of the season andhaving really good days,"Bratcher said.

Few steelhead anglershave been out thus far in2015, which Bratcher saidis normal.

"October is generallywhen the fish start showingup," he said."October is oneof the better months. The flyfishermen really pick it up."

The bag limit for steelheadfishermen is three per day.

Bratcher noted thatfishing in general has beengood this year, in spite of thewarmer river and pond tem­peratures and the wildfiresthat kept anglers away.

"A lot of the fishinghas actually been prettydecent," Bratcher said."TheWallowa River has beenproducing some pretty goodtrout. Bass fishing was gooddown on the Grande Rondebefore the fire came in.Over at Brownlee, bass fish­ing was really good. Catchrates at Wallowa Lake werereally good."

The only fishing that wasreally affected by the highwater temperatures wassalmon.

HUNTING NEWS

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

The Associated Press

ANCHORAGE,Alaska — A cabletelevision network suspended ahunting show after the program'shost and nine others involved in theproduction were charged in a federalpoachinginvestigation at a nationalpreserve in remote northwestAlaska.

The Sportsman Channel on Tues­day immediately suspended"TheSyndicate" from airing on the net­work and launched its own internalinvestigation, said Jim Liberatore,CEO and president of OutdoorSportsman Group Networks.

aWe take this situation veryseriously and have acted swiftlyto suspend the show, its producersand talent," Liberatore said in astatement."If true, what has beenalleged is clearly unacceptable,unethical and against everythingour networks stand for."

Prosecutors on Monday said morethan two dozen grizzly bears, moose,caribou and Dall sheep were il­legally killed in the Noatak NationalPreserve, which is north of the ArcticCircle and near Alaska's northwest­ern coast. The illegal kills ended upon the show, authorities alleged.

There were at least four hunts

Several grizzly bears are among the more than two dozen animals that have been allegedly poached inAlaska. The television show "The Syndicate" has been suspended in the wake of the killings.

conducted in Alaska for the showover the last five years. AssistantU.S. Attorney Steven Skrocki, thelead prosecutor, said at a news con­ference Monday that all the Alaska

hunts for the show were conductedillegally but were edited to appearthat they were legal.

The show's host, Clark W. Dixon,41, of Hazlehurst, Mississippi, was

Nine other people, who are fromAlaska, Tennessee, Mississippi,Louisiana and Nevada, and twoproduction companies face relatedmisdemeanors or tickets.

"The Syndicate" is independentlyproduced and purchases air timeon the Sportsman Channel, Lib­eratore said.

One of the production companiescited for using footage shot in thepreserve without a permit calledthe network's decision to suspendthe show "unfortunate." However,the statement from SyndicateHunting of Reno, Nevada, adds:''While disheartened, we respecttheir decision to do so."It also says once it became aware

Co ssioners go sightseeing for elk -'ii'XZKICSZ MBy Katherine LacazeThe Daily Astoaan

More than a dozen OregonFish and Wildlife commis­sioners and staff peeredthrough telescopes on thebanks of the Neacoxie RiverSept. 3. They were seekingelk — and they found themduring their daylong tourof fish and wildlife facilitiesalong the North Coast.

The Reserve at Gear­hart was their first stop, aprecursor to the commis­sion's monthly meeting thefollowing day at the BestWestern Ocean View Resortin Seaside. The tour providedcommissioners a ground­level look at Clatsop Countywildlife and habitat.

At The Reserve in Gear­hart, commissioners wit­nessed elk that had sepa­rated from the main herd ofabout 70. Here, the elk are"in their natural element,which is kind of low-densitydevelopment and golf cours­es," said Herman Biederbeck,a wildlife biologist for theOregon Department of Fishand Wildlife.

The reserve is surroundedby two golf courses, GearhartGolf Links and HighlandsGolf Club. Thirty acres ofNorth Coast Land Conser­vancy land to the east of thereserve are part of the con­servancy's Neacoxie WildlifeCorridor project, designed inthe 1990s to create a habitatfor wildlife along the Nea­coxie River.

As the Clatsop Plains getincreasingly developed, elkand humans inevitably col­lide, creating risks for both.

Wildlife photographer NealMaine shared photos of whathappens when elk and peopleshare the landscape. In one, ayoung woman scurries awayfrom an elk she angered byapproaching the animal andits calf for an"elk selfie."

Elaborate landscaping candraw elk into yards wherethey are unwanted, Mainesaid, and the animals areknown to create traffic haz­ards crossing U.S. Highway101 and other roads.Residents have differ­

ing opinions about the elkand how to deal with them,Biederbeck said. Some preferelk roam unhindered; others,particularly farmers andcommercial interests, prefera more managed approach.

Because of strong contrast­ing opinions, the departmenttends "to deal with elk issueson an individual, case-by­case basis," Biederbeck said.'The elk have their pros andcons out here, for sure."

Inland, at the Jewell

Meadows Wildlife Area inthe Oregon Coast Rangemountains, the departmentmanages a different elkpopulation.

The 1,114-acre area servesto protect and enhance wild­life habitat, reduce wildlifedamage to surroundingproperties and provide thepublic with an opportunity toobserve wildlife in a naturalsetting. Jewell MeadowsWildlife Area ManagerBryan Swearingen helpsthe department managethe herd's winter habitatand provide supplementalfeeding for Roosevelt elk andblack-tailed deer.

The department's manage­ment plan at the wildlifearea is designed to keep theelk population artificiallylow, about 225 out of a landcapacity of about 400, Swear­ingen said.

A portion of the wildlifearea, near Fishhawk Creek,is designated for elk refuge,although some tracts are open

To determine populationmodels, the departmentcurrently uses helicopters, acostly and potentially riskymethod. The state plans topartner with Oregon StateUniversity to conduct an elkcensus using unmanned aer­ial vehicles, or drones, whichcould register data in the skyover the Youngs River basin,Biederbeck said.

The wildlife area will pro­vide an outdoor laboratoryto calibrate and test aerialequipment before expandingthe program to nearby con­trol sites, he added. Successdepends on capturing imag­ery with a resolution highenough to detect and classifythe individual elk.

By Josh Benham

Coming off three straightlosses to open the season,Eastern Oregon Universitydoesn't get any breaks with itshome opener. Such is life in theFrontier League.

The Mountaineers welcome ahot No. 15 Montana Tech to Com­munity Stadium Saturday. TheOrediggers moved into the NAIATop 25 after upsetting No. 7 Car­roll College 19-10 last weekendin Butte, Montana. That allowedTech to become the fourth Fron­tier team in the top 25.

'The Frontier is a crazyleague," Eastern cornerbackByron Benson said."Anybody canlose each week."

The Mounties, conversely, havebeen on the opposite spectrumof that to this point. The Mount­ies had a shot to turn the seasonback around, but No. 4 SouthernOregon University scored thefinal 24 points last weekend tosalvage a 38-35 comeback victoryin Ashland.

"A lot of our guys haven'tbeen in situations like it was atSouthern, and we've got to beable to learn from that," East­ern head coach Tim Camp said."Nobody wants to start out 0-3.At the same time, I'm so happywith some of the kids' progressand the way that the team hasbounced back this week."

In order to make the pres­ent a joyous one, Easternmust contend with a balancedoffensive team. The Orediggershave scored 77 points throughthe first two games and leadthe Frontier in rushing yardageper game (261.5), and sit secondin passing yardage per game(253). Quarterback Quinn Mc­Queary leads the conference intotal offense with 268 combinedyards per game, and runningback Nolan Saraceni averages101.5 yards per game, second inthe Frontier.

'%e're looking forward to it,"

Eastern Oregon and Montana Tech have met a total of 25 times,with the Orediggers holding a slim 13-12 overall advantage.Recently, however, it's been the Mountaineers that have controlledthe series, winning seven of the last nine meetings, including bothgames in 2014.OREDIGGERTO WATCH

It's not common for a kicker to be a standout, but Montana Tech'sMatt Berg has proved to be a weapon for his team. He made allfour of his attempts in the upset win over Carroll College, icing thegame late with two field goals in the fourth quarter.

"They're extremely aggressiveand physical up front," Easternquarterback Zach Bartlow said."If we don't match their physical­ity, it should be a long day forus. Butifwe do, we should have

some success on offense. I thinkthat's the key."

Saturday's matchup will markthe first home game in six con­tests for Eastern, which finishedlast season with two road games.The players are looking forwardto playing at the fiiendly confinesof Community Stadium.

It sounds like a simpleanswer, but it feels veryimportant. Eastern isreeling and needs a win.If the home crowd can getbehind the team and givethem a boost, it may makethe ultimate difference.

Captainscalled upon

out ofholeBy Josh Benham

Eastern Oregon University was on thebrink of a season-changing win. Up 35-14over then-No. 1 Southern Oregon Univer­sity with less than five minutes remain­ing in the third quarter last weekend,the Mountaineers appeared on theirway to reversing momentum, knockingoff the defending NAIA champs and tak­ing a 1-1 Frontier Conference mark intoback-to-back home games.

Instead, the Raiders snuffed out allof that with 24 unanswered points toclose out a 38-35 comeback and crushthe hopes of an Eastern upset. With No.15 Montana Tech coming to town andEastern holding an 0-3 overall record,there's no rest for the weary, and theteam knows there's no time to hangtheir heads and dwell on the past.

It's a typical cliche in sports, but it's fit­ting here. The players are at a point wherethey simply must focus on each play, eachquarter, each game, and not get suckedinto thinking about the "what ifs."

''We're just looking to move to the nextgame," senior safety Adam Bese said."Yeah, we had a missed op­portunity against Southern,and that's unfortunate forus. We kind of dug ourselvesa little bit of a hole. Butwe'll be looking to take itone game at a time and go Bes e1-0 this week."

That's exactly what the captains andleaders have been preaching all week atpractice. Those elder Mounties, includ­ing captains Zach Bartlow, Jace Billing­sley, Gary Posten and Bese, have headcoach Tim Camp confident in their abil­ity to bring the team out of the weeds byleading by example.

"I couldn't be more proudof the way that they carrythemselves and how they'veresponded," Camp said of hiscore veterans. "They won'tallow anybody to feel sorry Bart lowfor themselves. Jace is, 'I'mgoing to show you how I can do it,' buthe's got so much better at being vocal.Zach is the same way. Gary is,'I'm going togo and get an 18-tackle game.' But at thesame time, no battle's ever been won with­out a vocal leader. Those guys have to havethe ability to make other people aroundthem better, and that's wherewe're at right now."

So Camp is hoping to seemore of the upperclassmenbecome more outspoken inurging on teammates, muchlike junior running back A.J. P romProm does.

"Really it's just about having a lot of en­ergy and keeping imy teammates') headsup," Prom said ofhow he approached thisweek.

Bartlow said he's more of a lead-by­example type, but knows his emotion isneeded as well.

"I just try to be consistently positive andbring a little bit of energy on offense," thequarterback said."If I do my work and amexcited to be out here every day, I thinkthat's going to be a good message to theguys."

Seniors like cornerback Byron Bensonhave been well aware that their attitudeswill have a trickle down effect on theyounger players.

"I know that the younger guys look upto us, being seniors and juniors," he said."It's very important to get everybody onboard and follow our vision."

But it's also been important to makesure the team knows that there's still achance to get to where the Mounties wantto finish.

''We could very easily be 2-1 now in­stead of 0-3," senior Jace Billingsley said.''We've just got to put four quarters to­

gether. We've played great teams, but thelosses had more to do with our mistakesthan anything else. All the seniors wantto finish have a great year, and I thinkwe're hungrier than ever now. Because werealize that we can be a great team."

BACKFIELDWhile

Tech has aformidablebackfield, E OUthe combi­nation of quarterbackZach Bartlow andrunning back JaceBillingsley is the focalpoint of the Easternoffense.

Football can be a very complexgame. Each player must know aton of assignments and plays allwhile functioning as one piece ofan 11-person unit.

But there's a reason sayingslike "beat the man in front of you"still exist. Because at its veryroot, football can be a very sim plegame, as well. And one of thebasic principles is that a team'sstars have to act like stars whenthe game is on the line. That'sexactly what Eastern OregonUniversity needs for the rest ofthe season.

Head coach Tim Camp told meas much during a practice earlierin the week.

'They've got to take the reignsa little bit," he said ofhis leaders.

KEY STATISTIC: The bell cow for the Orediggershad the lone touchdown in the win over Carroll

Montana Tech used a powerful ground attackto pull the 19-10 upset over then-No. 4 CarrollCollege last Saturday, churning out 226 yardson the ground. At the forefront of that attack isrunning back Nolan Saraceni, who rushed for 102yards on just 10 carries and scoredTech's onlytouchdown.

That gave the 5-foot-10, 195-pound junior hissecond-straight100-yard game after blisteringMontana State-Northern for 101 yards and fourtouchdowns in the Orediggers' 58-14 victory inthe season opener.

EOUi.B GaryPostenKEY STATISTIC: Eastern's linebacker leads theteam with 40 tackles, and also has one interception

The defense for the Mountaineers has had sig­nificant issues early on in the season, with stop­ping the run one of the biggest. But the defensiveunit has had a few standout players through thefirst three games, and Gary Posten may be thatside's MVP so far.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound redshirt senior providesan intimidating presence in the middle of thefield for Eastern. Posten has been consistent forthe Mounties as well, with nine being his lowestamount of tackles in a game. He had18 tackles inthe season opener against College of Idaho.

through with a clutch play thatgalvanized the team.

In the Southern Oregon loss,the offensive playmakers couldn'tmake the big play down thestretch. But it also obviouslyis on the defensive standouts.The Raiders scored the final 24points. Where was the big stop onthird down by defensive linemanKyle Lanoue or Posten? Or amomentum-swinging intercep­tion from Benson or safety AdamBese?

Those stars have that ability,and they've played solid ball forthe most part. But they haveto impose their will and be thereason the Mounties win. There'sno more tomorrow — that timeis now.
