TURNING BAcK THE PAGEs 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 14, 1965 A high level committee, endowed with the responsibility of doing something about offsetting the future economic loss of the 821st Radar base in Baker, met Wednesday evening for the first time and immediately went into action.

The initial step of the committee will be to write to all Federal and State legislative representatives of this area, informing them of the interest in the community to do something about the coming economic loss.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 15, 1990 Dr. Carl and Barbara Stiff and family, and Dick and Mary Lou McClammy have joined the ranks of "gold" brick purchasers for the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.

Joyce Badgley Smith, executive director of the Oregon Trail Preservation Trust, said this brings to 14 the number of donors who have purchased the $1,000 bricks since brick sales opened in September.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 14, 2005 Baker City taxpayers might not need to bail out the city's building inspection department this year.

For the first time in several years the department is on pace to collect more money than it spends.

If the trend continues through the rest of the fiscal year, which ends June 30, then city officials won't need to supplement the department with dollars from the city's general fund, which includes property taxes.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 15, 2014 The Baker County Board of Commissioners reluctantly approved a resolution at its meeting last week that would allow it to "exercise the right of eminent domain" regarding right-of-way acquisition on the Best Frontage Road project.

Commission Chairman Fred Warner Jr. and CommissionersTim Kerns and Mark Bennett all voiced their distaste for a declaration of eminent domain, which would allow the county to condemn property needed to complete the Best Frontage Road project if any of several landowners refused to cooperate. Landowners would receive "just compensation" for land acquired for the project.

OBITUARIES

CHARGES Continued from Page1A Attempted aggravated murder, an unclassified felony under Oregon law, carries a mandatory minimum 10-year prison term upon conviction.

In one definition of attempted aggravated murder, a person is charged with the crime for attempting to hire another to commit murder and pays or agrees to pay the person money or other things of value for committing the murder.

The crime of solicitation to commit murder, a Class A felony, is charged when a person is accused of soliciting another to engage in specific conduct, in this case the murder of Munsell's former boyfriend. And the conspiracy charge, also a Class A felony, alleges that she agreed with one or more people to commit murder.

Judge Greg Baxter set bail at $500,000, with full bail required for release. A pretrial hearing is scheduled on Jan. 22, Shirtcliff said.

Baker City Police arrested Munsell Dec. 26 on a charge of one count of solicitation to commit murder. She has been held at the Baker County Jail since.

The arrest came after a cousin of Munsell's called the dispatch center to report that Munsell had asked him to help make her ex-boyfriend and the father ofher son "disappear," according to Jay Lohner, a Baker City Police detective.

The cousin told police he refused to help Munsell.

Lohner called her later that day pretending to be a fiiend ofher cousin's and said he could help her with her ex-boyfriend.

Police said Munsell offered to make an $80 down payment and then to pay Lohner $1,000 after she received her income tax refund.

After the phone call, Lohner and Lt. Kirk McCormick went to Munsell's home and arrested her, police said.

DEQ FINE Continued from Page1A Stratton said he installed the three tanks — one for unleadedgas,tw ofordiesel— in 1999.

The larger tank holds 6,000 gallons, the two other tanks 3,000 gallons each.

Stratton said none of the tanks has held fuel since he closedthe station.

"I can't understand why they can fine me when they don't own the tanks, and they're not holding any fuel," Stratton said Tuesday.

He said he can't afford the $8,194 levied by the DEQ. Stratton has until Jan. 20 to either appeal the fine, or payit.

There is a discrepancy between DEQ records and Stratton's recollection about when he stopped using the tanks.

According to the DEQ, he did so in 2006.

The next year the agency issued Stratton a temporary closure certificate, which gave him one year to decide what to do with the tanks, said Susan Elworth, an environmental law specialist for the DEQ in Portland.

He failed to take action after the DEQ mailed him severallettersoverthe pastseveralyears.

Elworth said Stratton has three options: • Remove the tanks, which would cost an estimated

$24,000 to $30,000 • Resume using the tanks, which Stratton said is not an option because he can't run the business alone • Pay for a site assessment, which would include taking samples of dirt and groundwater near the tanks to determine whether any fuel has leaked Were Stratton to pay for the site assessment — DEQ estimates it would cost $8,000 — the agency would allow him to leave the tanks in place for another 10 years, Elworth said.

After that period he would have to either remove the tanks, start using them, or sell them to someone who would pay to have the tanks recertified for use.

Although Stratton said his tanks have not contained fuel since he closed the station, Elworth said that's no guarantee that the tanks contained residual traces of fuel that could leak, polluting soil and groundwater.

EDITORIAL

ree om merica America hasn't always embraced its satirists, and even the most renowned have generally been considered something other than first-rate artists.

But we don't murder them.

Indeed, most of the fighting that results from satire in America is the bloodless sort practiced in a courtroom.

In a country which values freedom of expression so much that we put it at the top of the list of our Bill of Rights, this tolerance for what many find distasteful, even abhorrent, is so much a part of our national identity that even we in the journalism business, who rely on that freedom every day, can take it for granted.

Until we hear about a tragedy such as the one that happened earlier this month at the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

Islamic terrorists killed 12 people at the ofIices of the paper, which has mocked a variety of religious figures besides Muhammad, including popes.

On the one hand, we are gratified by the widespread condemnation of the terrorists, and by the defiancethat editorialcartoonists and other satirists have shown aker the Charlie Hebdo slaughter.

But on the other hand we fear that such attacks will have an effect.

Intimidation can be a subtle infection, but in the end a debilitating one.

This is especially so when it comes to writers and cartoonists, who create work inside their minds.

Terrorists could, for instance, stop a factory from producing products by frightening workers into staying home. But buildings and other physical objects can be protected, if necessary, by force of arms.

Intellectual products are a murkier matter.

Who can say that an editorial wasn't written, or a cartoon not drawn, because the putative authors feared the work would put them at risk?

Perhaps not even the artists know for certain.

This is the insidious nature of threats, that they can provoke a subconscious protective reaction.

And it's the reason, if freedom is to be something other than a word, that we must, not just in America but everywhere, strive to catch and to punish terrorists who would deprive us of our rights to speak, to listen, to read and indeed, to think.

It's a scary world, to be sure.

But we take comfort in knowing that we who value freedom are far greater in number than the thugs who believe a person's opinion can warrant his

death.

GUEST EDITORIALS Editorial kom The (Bend) Bulletin: Late in 2013, Gov. John Kitzhaber promised that in 2015 he would propose a bill regulating genetically engineered crops in the state. Now, he's getting ready to fulfill that promise, though exactly what he'll propose remains unclear.

Among the issues: Whether or not the state should be able to establish"control" areas over geneticall y engineered crops even if they'vebeen deregulated by the U.S.Department of Agriculture. If the Oregon Department of Agriculture is given that power, it will be able to create what are known as "isolation distances" between engineeredand other crops.Isolation distancesaim toprevent crosspollination.

Crosscontamination isa big dealto wheat farmers and others, as the discovery of genetically engineered wheat plants in a conventional field in eastern Oregon demonstrated a couple of years ago. Oregon's wheat crop is worth about $500 million annually, and most of it is sold in Asia. Asians do not want genetically engineered foods, and when the wayward plant was discovered both Japan and South Korea delayed purchases until purity could be proved.

It makes sense to do what's reasonableto separate the crops,though deciding just what is reasonable may be difficult. If isolation distances are too great, thatcan createrealproblems; if they're too short, that doesn't solve the contamination problem.

There's also concern about who, if anyone, should compensate a farmer if a crop is contaminated by genetically engineered plants. That shouldn't be the state's business, it seems to us. The statedoes notcompensate afarmer if the neighbor's cows damage a crop; it

shouldn't do so in this case, either.

Coming up with a bill that's acceptableto allthe segments ofthestate's agriculture industry won't be easy, and lawmakers are sure to want to put their own spin on whatever the governor proposes. But both the governor and lawmakers should be more concerned about getting the new rules right than getting them quickly.

Your views Why is our country being run

by Idaho Power?

A few years back, there was a sign when you entered Idaho reading, "Idaho is too Great to Litter." It should have read,"Idaho is too Illiterate to be Great."

Th esign disappeared because, as discovered, Idaho wasn'tso great after all. Idaho's problem is politics by potato. Fine if you live there, but I live in Oregon and Idaho has no right dictating our standard ofliving. Now iagain) it's Idaho Power telling us we are about to be compromised by their unwanted and unneeded high voltage power line.

Last week there was an open house on the issue. I went to voice my concern that we were never given a vote whether we wanted their power line. Making

thislook likea democraticprocesswe are now being asked where we want the powerlinetorun:W e are beingforce-fed poison with a choice of flavor. What's an open house if our opinions are allowed, but ignored? Even if, say, John Steinbeck showed up with a novel about this social injustice, his book would have been trash-canned as soon as he turned away. However, this is an impossible scenario because Steinbeck is, of course, dead. Instead the room was filled with government agency personnel, like seventh graders standing in front of their science projects, an amusing scene until you add up the tax dollars merrily burnt. No one was there explaining how our li ves have been already disrupted for five years fighting it. Where's the

study showing it disturbing our health, our livelihoods, and Baker Valley's Kodachrome panorama? Where was the displaytable representing the people who don't want the power line? Each agency has bought into this sham, that this is a done deal. Where did they get that information? But that's a rhetorical question because Idaho Power's table was there also. It was surrounded by staff who looked worried their mothers would find them and discover what they really did for a living. I sadly reflected that we used to live in a democracy where di fferent voicesarerepresented, valued and given weight; not a country run by Idaho Power.

"The reason I chose Ajica is becauseitis so extraordinary."

— Madison Hatfield, Baker High School junior who left today for Ghana,Africa, where she will study until June

Hatfield said she called up AFS-USA and told them she had raised $9,000.

'The whole company was so impressed with what I have done so far they were like,'we're going to pay the rest of your tuition off,' " Hatfield said.

The application process to AFS-USA was extensive, she said.

'They did a home interview. I wrote a letter to my host family explaining who I was and what my goals were and why I wanted to come to Ghana," Hatfield sald.

She said there was a medical checkup to make sure she is healthy enough to go to Ghana. She also had to forward her education records to the company as well ashaveherparents give permission for the trip.

Afterher application was approved and she had raised the money, there were stil lm ore preparations.

Hatfield was required to get vaccines for typhoid, yellow fever and meningococcaldisease.Sheisalsorequired to take medication before, during and after her stay in Ghana to protect against malaria.

Mosier, who was elected to afour-year term as a councilor in November 2012, replaces Clair Button, who was precluded from seeking re-election in November due to the city charter, which limits councilors to serving no more than two consecutiveterms.

Mosier's term as mayor is for two years, as is Downing's as vice mayor.

Mosier presented plaques of appreciation to Button and to former Councilor Barbara Johnson, who did not run for another term.

"I researched the Ghanian national anthem, I researched what kind of food they eat. You have to make sure you eat with your right hand and not your left," Hatfield said.

She is ready for and excited to experience any culture shock.

Her host family does speak English, which should make things go a little easier for her.

When Hatfield decided she was going to become a foreign exchange student, she didn't want to go just anywhere in the world.

"The reason I chose Alrica is because itissoextraordinary,"she said.

Hatfield works as a swim instructor and lifeguard at Sam-0 Swim Center.

To raise money for her trip she also collected cans and bottles, organized pie and cookie sales as well as a silent auctionofskateboard art.

Hatfield approached several local artists about creating artforthe silent auction at Zephyr Bakery last summer.

The majority of Tuesday's meeting was devoted to discussion and eventual approvalofthe city's2014 Watershed Management

The event raised $1,700. One piece of art by Andrea Stone sold for almost

$500, Hatfield said.

H atfiel d alsocollected $500 in cans and bottles.

Hatfield's grandmother, Linda Hatfield, beamed with pride as she talked about her granddaughter's accomplishments.

"I'm justreally proud ofher to do it all on her own," Linda Hatfield said.

"She soldcookieson the streetto raise money."

Madison Hatfield left Tuesday with her mother, Amy Johnson, for Boise. Today, she will fly from there to New York City, where she will attend an AFSUSA orientation for foreign exchange students. After that, she will board another plane for Accra, Ghana.

"On Friday, our time, I will land in Africa," Madison Hatfield said.

She said she is not scared of the Ebolaoutbreak that has affected parts of WestAlrica.

"I think it's two countries away from where there's Ebola. I trust the company that I'm going through. If they say it's safe, then I trust them," Madison Hatfield said.

She will be in Africa until the end of the school year in June.

The plan was approved with changes after a lengthy discussion.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Bull ogssteamrollVikings,11-4

Ohio State 42, Oregon 20 . :. i--

By Gerry Steele What a difference a couple of days makes.

Four days ago Baker playedone ofitsw orst games against Bishop Kelly.

But Tuesday the Bulldogs were doing just about everything right in a 71-43 thumping of Vale in nonleague boys basketball action in the BHS gym.

"I wanted to see how we would respond after the Bishop Kelly game. That was my challenge to the kids," said Baker coach Joel Richardson.

'They responded very well. We had nice balance across the board. It was nice to see everybody get involved."

Already leading 34-22 at halftime, the Bulldogs ran off the first 15 points of the second half.

'That was a great run in the third quarter. We had a great third quarter with 22 points," Richardson said.

"I thought our defense was really good tonight. We causeda lotofproblems for their guards.

"And,we gota lotofgreat looksoffouroffensivesets," Richardson said.

falling to Ohio State 42-20 on Monday night in front of a crowd of85,689 atglitzy AT&T Stadium in the inaugural College Football Playoff championship.

Kelly, Oregon's head coach from 2009to2012,walked thesidelines before the game, a huge smile on his face, as he weaved through photographersand other celebrities.

Bellotti, Hall of Fame Duck coach from 1995 to 2008, was an honorary captain for the game and was on the field for the coin toss.

And although they were far fewer in number than red-clad Buckeyes fans, devoted Ducks fans came as well, hoping to bea partof the biggest win in school history, especially after Oregon lost the 2011 BCS National Championship to Auburn.

Quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Ducks wanted to finish what Brooks, Bellotti and Kelly started by claiming that elusive championship, but Ohio State — a team alreadyboasting seven national titles — would not let them, and just simply ran through the Ducks.

After the game, as Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott and Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones were all jokes and smiles in the press conference, the Oregon locker room was a somber place as players hugged and consoled one another. Some made promises to each other for next season, while some seniors said goodbye.

"I'm taking the time to appreciate everything I've been through these last five years, especially this year," said Keanon Lowe, a senior receiver who had three catches for 55 yards and a touchdown."This has been the best year of my life. This team has been constantly kicked down, and we've done nothing but respond. There's a whole bunch of fighters on this team."

The Ducks failed to make any effective adjustments to stop Elliott, who finished with 246 yards and four touchdowns rushing, and he continued to pound the Oregon defense in the second half and break tackle after tackle. Everybody in the stadium knew he was getting the ball — over and over and over again.

The Buckeyes were just too strong, too powerful in the trenches for the Ducks.

Many were predicting the game tobe an instant classic, with late-game heroics from both sides. But that never came to fi uition, as the Pac12 and Rose Bowl champions were beaten soundly by a physical Big Ten team that ran the ball down their throats.

PAPA MURPHY'S GETSCOMPLETE

• La Grande store closesforeightdays formajorremodel

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

La Grande's Papa Murphy's store underwent a major renovation — to the point that owner Bob Hulden said it's like having a completely new store.

The store is family owned and operated. Hulden, and his wife, Ann, are co-owners of the La Grande, Pendleton and Hermiston Papa Murphy's locations.

Daughter and son-in-law Tara Morrel and Peter Morrel work as operations managers at the La Grande store.

The La Grande location shut down for eight days just before the Christmas holiday, said Tara Morrel.

"Itwas a fastand furious project," Morrel said.aWe took it to the studs. Pretty much the front half of the store is completely new."

Morrel said she didn't want the business to be impeded with the closure and wanted to make sure the storewasn'tclosed soclose to Christmas. The entire process was completed Dec. 13 through Dec. 21.Despitethefactthe store wasn't due for a remodel for another two years, according to Bob Hulden, his two other stores also received the new design.

"This idesignl will take us 10 to 15 years down the road. It has a clean feeling," Morrel said.

The new design is allowing them to be faster and more efficient with taking orders, including the ability to take orders over the phone in the back so employees are not getting in the way of the in-store customers. cWe aren't stopping the flow with the new order system," Morrelsaid."Ithelpsusspeed up and improve. The customer may not realize the change with that, but we do.

Hulden said the renovation was a major investment but something they thought was necessary. cWe believe in the business,

though, our customers and the community," he said.

This family-owned business goes back further than most realize. According to Hulden, he was going to college in Corvallis and would go to the local take and bake pizza, Papa Aldo's.

"It was the only thing I could afford," he said.

Morrel got to know Papa Aldo's owners and eventually helped them open the first Papa Murphy's store, where the Papa Aldo's ownersconverged to laterbecome Papa Murphy's.

arly on in my career I had the pleasure of working in a fast growing corporationthat doubled its revenue to a billion dollars in six years.

From that experience in the trenches I earned my stripes. Since business growthappears tobein style once again, let me share four key takeaways that might make your business growth easier.

The first is that growing a businesstakes capitaland financial savvy. Setting aside theincreasedpayrollcosts when new people are hired, spending to satisfy new clientsand delivering products and services takes additional cash.

Without the financial ability to invest in the future, all the plans in the world won't help.What makes a huge difference is having top internal finance people, smart management and connections to lenders who are open to hearinga story ofpastand future success.

The company and all the managers at my employer became extremely financially literate during this time.

Decisions were made with profitability, not volume, in mind. Investment decisions were openly debated before being made. Financial reporting was enhanced to the point where the books were closed within just a couple of days after month end.

The second is that not everyemployee isgoing tobe abletohandle theincreased responsibilities and output required to successfully handle what growth comes in the door.

In my situation, the company had chugged along in slow motion for decades and many long-term employees, some of them managers, did notrecognize that their leaders were doing more than just talking about more rapid growth. The process has moved along to planning and building infrastructure to handle a growth spurt.

In the run-up to what was planned, key professionals were brought in that had "been there and done that" SeeKeller / Page 2B

HEALTH CARE COSTS

llshealthinsurancecostsrise,Iworkersin OregonandIJ.S.sSendmore onSremiums

By George Rede The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Health insurancecostsare growing faster than income in all 50 states, a new study says, and workers are feeling the pinch in rising out-ofpocket costs.

Workers who receive health insurance through their employer are spending more of their income on premiums and deductibles buttheirwages are not keeping up with the increases,according to a reportreleased Thursdayby The Commonwealth

Fund, a private foundation that supportsindependentresearch on health policy reform.

Oregon is among 12 states that have seen a slowdown in the growth of employer-sponsored health insurance premiums from 2010 to2013,following passage oftheAffordable Care Act,according to the New York Citybased foundation.

However, that small measure of reliefhas been more than offset by the larger trend of insurance costs claiming a steadily growing share of workers'

income, the foundation says.

The new study, assessing stateby-state trends in premium and deductible growth, comes just 30 days after a similar study analyzing national trends in the cost of health insurance coverage. Both reports cover the years 2003 to 2013 and look only at employerprovided coverage.

"Growth in employer premiums and deductibles slowed in m any states afterpassage of theAffordableCare Act, "said Sara Collins, a vice president at The Commonwealth Fund and

a coauthor of the Jan. 8 report.

"However, slow wage growth means working families in every state are being squeezed by health care costs."

Dr. David Blumenthal, president of The Commonwealth Fund, said in a statement accompanying the Dec. 9 report, "As employers struggle to keep health insurance premium costs manageable, they are asking theirworkers to pay alarger share of their insurance costs.

DIGITAL ESTATES

Laws vary on accessing digital assets of deceased

By Tim Grant Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

PITTSBURGH — In an age when social media websites record so many lifeexperiences and so much personal information is stored online, financial advisersand estate lawyers are increasingly advising clients on handling their digital estates as well as their financial legacies.

Laws on the books addressthe transferof financial assets, such as real estate, bank accounts, stocks and even physical items like furniture and silverware. But federal and stateregulations are — for the most part — in catch-

up mode when it comes to digital assets.

Some states have passed laws that give executors of estates the authority to handlethe decedent'sdigital assets — including online accounts such as Facebook, LinkedIn and email — as they would any other assets.

But Pennsylvania is not one of them, said David Walters, a financial adviser at Palisades Hudson Financial Group and author of the chapter on planning a digital estate in Palisade Hudson's new book,"Looking Ahead: Life, Family, Wealth and Business After 55."

"Because there are not laws in many states now

Once leadership hitthe gaspedal,it became clear who was pining for the "good old days" of a 9 to 5, long lunches lifestyle and those who understood they would be"driving home in the dark" defined as long days, weekends and plenty of nights away from home.

The third was that everyone was expected to take new responsibilities and an increased workload. Great pride was taken annually calculating revenue per employee as a productivity measurement. It was not a surprise to hear, year after year, that my privately held employer was considerably more efficient than all companies on the Fortune 500 list.

addressing digital assets, executors often do not have legal authority over these assets,"Walters said."In most cases, that means the original agreement between the online vendor and the person dictates what happens when that person dies.

"Usually what the online vendor will do is shut down the account."

For that reason, as part of estate planning documents, Walters recommends including a list of all online accounts and passwords.

The individual can stipulate what should be done with email and other online accounts upon death.

This provided opportunities to learn and grow. Mistakes were made, some costly, and it was a confusing and disorganizedplace to beem ployed because change was constant.

I soon recognized that if I did not like my boss, all I had to do was to wait six months because I would be working for someone else. But everyone had a sense of belonging and more importantly, purpose.

The fourth takeaway was that the company could only have one dominant focus. In many companies today, all decisions made are based on financial metrics. In others, the legal department has the final say. In some companies, all departments have input and the strongest one, the one with the compelling argument, wins.

Pittsburgh lawyer E. David Margolis said he makes a point to discuss the issue of digital assets with clients. He asks them to fill out an"important information inventory," which is a road map into the client's personalaffairssuch asa list of financial accounts with account numbers and information about all online accounts.

it did not mean that sales could sell below cost so that commissions could be paid to everyone while every box that was shipped out was sold at a loss.

It meant that the company was focused on profitable revenue growth and that selling, delivering and taking care of the client was the highest priority of every employee. If you did not accept that, the company was not a good placeforyou to work.You did nothave to love the product, but you needed to take care of the clients better than any competitor could.

Growth is exciting and challenging.

At the heart of it is having a compelling story to be sold both internally and externally, challenging the right people to do things they didn't know they were capable of doing, not being afraid to address under-performers and to keep the "main thing" clearly in sight at all times.
