Good Day Wish To A Subscriber

A special good day to Herald subscriber Jessica Wilson of Baker City.

Oregon, SA SALEM — While unveiling a budget Monday that he says shows the state is on good long-term footing, Gov. John Kitzhaber painted a rosy picture of state finances that included a few caveats.

First, current and future lawmakers would have to see things his way. Next, the state and national economies can't recede, but they also can't grow so much that the state is forced to give money back to residents under Oregon's personal income tax rebate law.

• Ranchers who protect habitat can get a guarantee from the feds • Man is suspected of impersonating a police oficer last month in Baker City A Baker City man sought by police for the past nine days was arrested Wednesday night at an Ontario motel.

Timothy P. Keefe, 52, of 2018 Eighth St., was arrested about midnight by an Ontario Police oScer, Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner said in a press release.

Keefe eluded Baker City Keefe police after allegedly impersonating a police oScer during the early morning hours of Nov. 24 and had been sought by law enforcement oScers throughout the region since.

On Wednesday, police determined that Keefe most likely was driving a green 1994 Honda Passport, Lohner said. The vehicle was reported stolen by Marian Kristine Miner, 44, of Baker City.

Coun looks at land deals

By Joshua Dillen ldtllen©bakercttyherald.com

Several property deals between Baker County and other parties were the focus of Wednesday's County Commission meeting.

Property trade

•f

several factors, including cattle grazing, imperil the bird's survival not only in Eastern Oregon but in several other western states.

Cattle can trample on the sage grouse nests as well as eatthenative grassesthe birds depend on for food.

Adoption of a property exchange agreement between Baker County and the Oregon Military Department iOMDl was postponed until the next commission meeting on Dec. 22.

County property south of the rodeo arena will be traded for property owned by the OMD south of the baseball diamond when the agreement is adopted by the commission at their next meeting.

The OMD plans to build a parking lot and storage facility for the National Guard's equipment and vehicles on the property they will acquire.

The county leases the part of OMD property where the fair buildings are located. The OMD leases a part of county property near the armory.

"We deeply appreciate this kind of support," said Dave Hunsaker, chairman of the Bandstand Committee, which is planning to build a bandstand in GeiserPollman Park.

By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercttyherald.com

The possible listing of the sage grouse as a threatened or endangered species next year might not pose as great an economic threat to some of Baker County's cattle ranchers as they had feared.

The specter of this chickensizebird hasloomed over the

livestock industry across the intermountain West for more than a decade.

Since 1999 environmental groupshave severaltim es petitioned the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service iFWSl to add the sagegrouse to the listof threatened or endangered species.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Dec. 5, 1964 All requests for information regarding the unidentified flying object reportedly seen over Baker yesterday should be referred to the Pentagon, Washington, D.C., a spokesman for the 821st Radar Squadron said today.

He said the reports were investigated, compiled and forwarded to the ForeignTechnology Division,Air Force Systems Command at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, for analysis.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Dec. 5, 1989 Businesseshave come and gone in BakerCity,butone of the oldest is York's Park Grocery, 1549 Campbell St. In fact, York's Park Grocery this month is celebrating 50 years of business in the same family and at the same location.

There's no question York's Park Grocery today is not the same store it was when it was purchased by Dorothy and JohnYork in1939. But in some ways it has changed very little.

For example, the original oak floors that have given the store a distinct country atmosphere are still there. But store clientele and inventory have changed dramatically, according to PaulYork, who purchased the business from his parents in 1975.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Dec. 6, 2004 A group of biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWSj contends the sage grouse, which lives in the sagebrush-draped rangelands of Baker County and part of10 other states in theWest, should not be protected under the federal Endangered Species Act. The agency's director, Steve Williams, must decide by Dec. 29 whether to list the bird as threatened or endangered.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Dec. 13, 2013 For the second time, Dick Fleming of Baker City will challenge incumbent Fred Warner Jr. for the Iob of chairman of the Baker County Board of Commissioners.

But this race will be different.

The two will face off in the primary election rather than the general.

That's becauseWarner, a former Democrat who is seeking his fourth four-term term as commission chairman, switched to the Republican party earlier this year.

Continued ~om Page1A Ontario Police found Miner's Honda at the Ontario m otel and arrested Keefe and Kara Ramage, 52, Keefe's significant other, Lohner said.

The two are being held at the Malheur County Jail in Vale and will be brought to Baker City later to face charges in this jurisdiction.

Keefe isaccused ofimpersonatinga policeoffi cer, eluding a police officer and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He will face other charges in Malheur County.

EERGUSQN

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber figures he and the state's legislators know better than you do how to spend some of the money you earn.

The notion that the state might collect more money from income taxes than it needs to provide public services seems never to occur to many politicians.

Fortunately, Oregon's unique income tax kicker" law occasionally forces them to at least discuss the issue.

The law dates to 1979. Voters decided in 2000 to protect it from politicians' prying fingers by putting the kicker system into the state constitution (although the Legislature can suspend rebates if two-thirds oflawmakers agree).

The concept is simple.

State economists estimate income tax revenue for each two-year biennium (Oregon operates on a twoyear budget cycle, not one year). If actual revenue exceeds the estimate by at least 2 percent, the kicker law requires the state to refund to taxpayers the full amount above the estimate.

This rankles Kitzhaber. Earlier this week, after unveiling his proposed budget for the biennium that starts July 1, 2015, the governor said, referring to the kicker law:"There isn't a family or business in this country that operates like that. In good times you should be able to invest in your human capital, invest in infrastructure."

First, the state government is neither a family nor a business, so the comparison is moot.

Second, the "good times" Kitzhaber refers to might accurately describe the economy in Oregon's urban areas, but it's mostly a myth elsewhere.

Unemployment rates in the Portland metro area are about 6 percent. Baker County's, meanwhile, is 8.5 percent. Grant County's is 11.1 percent.

We're certain that residents in those, and indeed in most of Oregon's 36 counties, would benefit more from getting a rebate on their income taxes than from the state, as Kitzhaber puts it, being"able to invest in human capital."

This, of course, is a euphemism for giving state employees raises, or hiring more of them.

It's not as if the state's budget isn't growing.

Kitzhaber is proposing to spend 11 percent more in the next biennium than in the current cycle.

If voters decide the state isn't keeping enough of their money, they can choose to rescind the kicker law. Until then, Kitzhaber and the Legislature should live within their more than ample means.

ou, r. eacoc On Nov. 25 I was walking to the main office in Baker High School, passing through the Commons. I saw Mr. Peacock talking to some of my fellow classmates.

As Iapproached, Irealized thateveryone that passed by addressed Mr. Peacock.

Kids I had never seen before; we were all fiom diflerent friend grounds and backgrounds. But one thing, one person, united us all. That man was Mr. Peacock.

We all knew him and he new all of usevery last one.

Let me give one of my personal stories about Mr. Peacock. I didn't attend public school until my junior year. One time during my junior high years I had come to the high school for one of my brother's sports fundraisers. Mr. Peacock saw me. I knew ofhim but didn't know him personally. He saw me and said,"Hi, Little Payton." I was known. No one in the entire school knew me or bothered to ask me who I was. But one person cared.

Mr. Peacock somehow knew me when I was unknown. I am now a senior and his caring personalityis still ingrained in my mind with admiration.

And Iam not theonly onehe knew.

Lastyear I would see him standingin the halls between classes saying'hi" to students and addressing them by their names. He knew them. And he still does; he still cares.

Some may say that it was a mistake to name the new school court after Mr. Peacock. I personally strongly disagree.

ANNA PAYTON There is no person more worthy than Mr. Peacock to be the namesake for the new court. He united our school for years, knowing every student. He has impacted students and the entire school with his leadership. Baker High School is blessed tohave aformer principalasam azing and inspiring as Mr. Peacock to dedicate the court to.

I read a letter to the editor criticizing the school board for not involving the communityin the decision to name the hew high school court. I don't know the rightsorprocessesofthe board,butto m e the outcome of their decision seems right.

To say I'm not biased would be a lie. But it's hard not to be when I have experienced Mr. Peacock's impactin our school.

A quote fiom the letter states that,"Actually, it seems a little weird. It ithe name

Sure, it seems weird to put the name "Peacock" on a school with the bulldog as their mascot. But to say that it does not fit well with the bulldogimage is a false statement. Mr. Peacock has invested immensely into the high school and has impacted many individuals in his 22 years as principal. If I could pick one individual to represent our school's image, it would be Mr. Peacock.

The name was not chosen as an alternative mascot, it was chosen to honor one man, alongside the symbol of Baker High School, to show how much he has meant to our school.

"Naming a gym for a guy who will soon be forgotten is silly."

Iagree,naming agym aftera guy who will soon be forgotten is silly. But that's the thing — Mr. Peacock will not soon be forgotten. He has left a permanent mark onme and many other individuals in our school and community. I guess those who have not met Mr. Peacock do not understand this, but those of us who will be using the court — current Baker High School students and future students — know and will hear about the great principal who led this school with nobility and love. We will all understand why the court was named after such a great man.

We love you, Mr. Peacock. Thanks for everything you have done for us.

GROUSE Continued ~om Page1A In 2005, however, the FWS concluded that sage grouse don'tneed federalprotection.

That decision prompted a series oflegal challenges, the result of which is that the FWS now is slated to decide in September 2015 whether to lis tthe sagegrouse as threatened or endangered.

Local ranchers have consistently opposed such a listing.

They contend that sage grouse in Baker County are not in jeopardy and that factors other than grazing, such as resi dentialdevelopment, pose a greater risk.

Ranchers worry that if the FWS deems the bird threatened or endangered, they mighthave to curtailgrazing, both on the public allotments where many ranchers run their herds during the spring, summer and early fall, and on their own private pastures.

Predicting how federal agencies, primarily the BLM, would manage grazing on public allotments in the wake of a sage grouse listing is a matterofconjecture.

But when it comes to private property, ranchers have at leastone option that amounts to a kind of insurance.

It's called a Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances iCCAAl. It's voluntary, and here's how it works: A landowner agrees to manage his property so as to protecta particular species that'sa candidate forfederal protection— sage grouse in this case — and to try to improvehabitatforthatspecies.

These are known as "conservation measures," and they must be approved, in advance, by the FWS or, in some cases, a local soil and w aterconservationdistrict.

The types of conservation m easures are negotiable between the landowner and agency.

In exchange for complying with a CCAA, landowners get aguarantee that ifthe candidate species is listed as threatened or endangered, the owners won't have to take additional measures, beyond those in the CCAA, to protectthe speciesorits habitat.

"In Oregon, we are prioritizing completion of theseagreements toprovide private landowners with a tool to work in partnership with the government," Henson said."Enrollment is strictly voluntary and we believeprovides peace ofm ind to landowners that their lifestyle and economic livelihoods will continue without added regulation."

The FWS this week announced a proposed CCAA program that includes six counties with sage grouse habitat — Baker, Crook, Deschutes, Grant, Lake and Malheur— and partof southern Union County.

Harney County has a

bined 42,000 acres, have also expressed an interest in enrolling, said Whitney Collins, who manages the county's foursoiland waterconservation districts.

Collins said the districts plan to mail postcards to landowners across the county in early 2015 to let them know about the CCAA option.

A potential benefit to having private property owners enroll in a CCAA is that doing so could influence the FWS officials who will decide next year whether to list the

separate CCAA program that started in May 2014.

Since then, 30 landowners in that county have enrolled more than 280,000 acres in the program.

The CCAA concept isn't new, and one Baker County rancher — Bill Moore, a former president of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association who lives near Unity — already has a separate CCAA deal with the FWS (seerelated story above).

Seven other Baker County residents, who own a com-

"The more acres we have, the better argument we can make for why a listing is not needed in Oregon," Meyer SRld.

conservation measures designedtoprotectthebird.

The key difference, Meyer said, is that the agreement with BLM does not include any written guarantee that ifthe sage grouse islisted as threatened or endangered, that the BLM won't have to take further steps, such as restric ting grazing,toprotect the bird.

Besides the voluntary nature of CCAAs, landowners who enroll can cancel their involvement at any time, with 30 days' notice. In that case, though, they also lose the guarantee that they won't have to take additional precautionsto protecta species.

Mark Bennett, a Baker County commissioner and rancher, agrees with Henson about the value of CCAAs for private landowners.

In fact, Bennett said he and his wife, Patti, have volunteered to enroll 8,800 acres they own in southern

Baker County, southeast of Unity, in the local CCAA for sage grouse.

Among other things, the Bennetts have cut juniper trees on about 6,000 acres )unipers suck up water, harming sagebrush and grass that sage grouse depend on), installed reflectors on fences to preventsage grouse &om flying into the fences and hurbng themselves, put ramps in cattle water troughs to ensure sage grouse don't get trapped and drown, and they empty troughs when cattlearen'tin thearea to reduce populations of mosquitoes that could infect sage grouse with West Nile virus.

OSUforHuskers ByAnne M. Peterson

CORVALLIS — Mike Riley said his goodbyes to the Oregon State Beavers at an emotional team meeting on Thursday morning.

Riley, who is the longesttenured coach in the Pac-12 and has coached at Oregon State for 14 seasons, will be introduced as Nebraska's head coach today. He replaces Bo Pelini, who was dismissedaftertheHuskers finished the season 9-3.

In a statement, Riley calledtheNe braska job a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity, but the move stunned many in Corvallis, where Riley's ties to the community date back to when his father, Bud, was an assistant coach under Dee Andros.

"Didn't see that coming," Oregon State freshman cornerback Kevin Hayes posted to Twitter. Sophomore offensive lineman Sean Harlow posted simply: "It's a business."

Riley, 61, is credited with turning around an Oregon State team that had 28 straight losing seasons when hefi rstbecame head coach in 1997. He left for the San Diego Chargers in 1999, and Dennis Erickson coached the Beavers for four seasons kom 1999-2002.

Riley returned to Oregon State in 2003.

Riley took the Beavers toeightbowl appearances,

compilinga 6-2 record.

Riley was under contract with Oregon State through 2021. He was the lowestpaid coach in the Pac-12,

making a reported $1.5 million this year.

"Coach Riley has twice led a program, with integrity, to new heights and tremendous growth. The entire university owes him a well-deserved thank you.

We are excited about the future for the loyal fans and donors of Beaver Nation as we launch our search for the new leaderofourfootball program," OSU athletic director Bob De Carolis said in a statement Thursday.

Oregon State finished this season 5-7 and some called for Riley's dismissal.

The Beavers had just two conference wins, but one came at home against thenNo. 7Arizona State. It was the high point of the season and another in a string ofbig upsets in Corvallis that Oregon State became known for under Riley. The Beavers knocked off No. 3 Southern California at home in 2006, then the topranked Trojans in 2008, and No. 13 Wisconsin in 2012.

He also had a knack for finding players that weren't heavily recruited and turning them into stars, like running back Jacquizz Rodgers and former Biletnikoff winner Mike Hass. And plenty of recent Beavers are seeing success in the NFL.

Under the system, state economists make arevenue forecastevery two years based on expected economic perfI 1rn1ance.Ifactualperformance exceedsthefo1ecastby 2 percentor mo1e, the state has to give the surplus moneyback toresidents.

'Thereisn't a familyor business in this country thatoperates like that," Ki~ r s a i d."In good times you should be able to investinyour human

capital,investininfrastructure."

The system was createdin 1979, and voters putitinto the state constitutionin 2000. It's seen as away to keep state spendingdown while giving back a portionof the income taxes Oregonians pay. (Income tax accounts for83 percentofthe$18.7billionin expected general fund/lottery revenue for the next biennium.)

Butcritics have longheld that the

GROUSE Continued ~om Page 5A But Bennett said he believes most local landowners could also fulfill the CCAA standards — and thus receive the assurance that they won't have to take other, more restrictive actions if the sage grouse is listed next year.

Moreover, Bennett thinks most ranchers can get the CCAA guarantee without making significant changes to their grazing and farming practices.

Collins agrees.

"Many of the landowners will not need to do much different then what they are currently doing," she said."If they areoperating ata level thatisgood for therangeland, keeping it healthy and not altering mass amounts of sagebrush across the landscape, then not much will change.

"As farasfarming goes, most of the irrigated lands are considered areas of nonhabitat, so they will not need to be changed."

Collins said many of the local landowners she has talked with compare the CCAA to an insurance policy.

"It just gives you the assurances to keep doing your daily activities that help better the landscape and keep wide open spaces in ranches insteadofbeing converted," Collins said.

County Livestock Association, Baker Valley Soil and Water Conservation District, FWS, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Oregon State University.

Although Meyer said the FWS will initially work with local ranchers who want to enroll in the CCAA, in the long term the lead Baker County agency for the program will be the Baker Valley Soil and Water Conservation District.

According to thedraft CCAA, the most dire threat to sage grouse in Baker County is not livestock grazing, but rather"wildfire in low elevationsagebrush and its resultant increase of exotic annual grasses, as well as juniper encroachment in high elevation sagebrush due to lack of fire."

Another threat is the conversionofsagebrush habitat to something else, such as residential or commercial development.

But Bennett doesn't think that's a significant factor in Baker County, or indeed anywhere in Oregon.

The reason, he said, is the state's comparatively stringent land use law.

It is a familiar subject to Bennett, who's the former longtime planning director for Baker County.

That said, Bennett worries about the potential effects on sagegrouse habitatof the power transmission line, known as Boardman to Hemingway, that Idaho Power Company wants to build through Baker County.

He's also concerned that no matter how many acres are enrolled in a CCAA, the federal government will decide tolis tthesagegrouse.

Just last month the FWS listed the Gunnison sage grouse, a subspecies, as threatened in its range in Colorado and Utah.

ASHLAND — The ski area at Mount Ashland has some money to work with and some workers to staff the slopes. All it needs now is snow, which it didn't have a year ago when itfailed to open forthefi rst time in its history.

Leaders of the nonprofit ski area said the failure of the 2013-14 season might put its future in jeopardy.

It has struggled through droughts and changes in ownership since it opened in 1964, but it never has gone a season without skiing.

In the spring, it took out a $750,000 Small Business Administration lifeline loan to stay afloat, the Ashland

STEElHEAD NATlON CAMERQN SCQTT

Iigsfor

deen winter angling t

f you didn't get out steelheading this fall, there were some days in September, October, and November that were just plain enchanting But now that the days are shortening down toward Solstice iDecember 21l and cold &onts are dropping down more frequently &om the north, it appears like steelheading, barring a trip to thecoast,a stick ofdynamite, or a trip south of the equator, might bedone for a while. Simply, not true.

For the hardy, solitude driven steelhead angler, Decemberoffersplenty ofopportunities to break away the ice and get after it. At least for an hour or two. Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind during the winter months, besides the factsteelhead tend tobefew and far between the farther up fromtheGrande Ronde you get, is that they are coldblooded."How cold?" you might ask.'Well,a I'd reply, "depends on the day."

Typically, the warmer the water temperature, the more frequently one can find a steelhead jammed right up into a riffle or in some thick heavy currents cluttered with boulders and other structure. Inversely, the colder it is outside iand some days, when anchor ice starts to form on the bottom of the Grande Rondeand the main currents are filled with slush, it just might not be worth it) the more likely you are to find a steelhead holding in slower side seams and deep pools. Granted, when the weather outside is frightfully cold,most ofthe riverisslow and sluggish anyway, so just lookforthedeep bends,pools, and side seams and ignore everything else.

What all of this really means is that we have entered the season of white fish, suckers, trout, and steelhead all holding in those beautiful, slow-moving, picture-perfect, bends and pools of the Grande Ronde and Wallowa.

For gear fishers, make sure you don't have too much See Nation/Page 2C

Heavy depredation by cougars can greatly influence porcupine populations. Low numbers of the rodents in a given area can quickly contribute to the creature's decline. Porcupines normally have one kit per year. Females only have an 8 to 12 hour window of estrous a year. If males aren't close, breeding doesn't take place.

hat's happened to all the porcupines? Lately, that's been an often asked question among outdoor folks.

N ot so long ago,forestvisitors could often see these little quill pigs throughout our local forests.

One could &equently see road kills along our highways. You just don't see that anymore. It doesn't take much digging to turn up possible clues.

Like almost anything wildlife related, there's no single answer.

The .22 caliber rifle is a likely suspect.

More folksdriveour backwoods these days. Porcupines are very slow and can make an easy target for those who have little respect for wild things.

Click"porcupines/cougars" on the Internet and another culprit will come to light. Cougars love to eat porcupines. They quickly learn to flip the rodents over to reach the quillless underbelly.

In the 1970s, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife examined the stomach contents of 64 Northeast Oregon mountain lions taken by hunters over a three-year period. Behind the obvious elk and deer, porcupines tookthird place asprey items for

BLUE MT. ' CHRONICLES JIM WARD the big cats.

A study in Nevada, where cougars had recently taken over a largearea ofthesemi-desert, showed that porcupines had become extinct in that area within three years. Other studies thoughout the West have shown similar results. In fact, many wildlife biologists refer to porcupines as cougar candy.

Pat Matthews, with the ODFW, sheds light on the issue. Matthews noticed that porcupines began disappearing around the late 1980s."The dramatic upswing in cougar numbers likely had a profound effect on the rodent's numbers," he said.

Afteralow ofaround 200 cats, in the 1950s, cougars number around 5,000 today. Nearly 60 percent of the cats brought into Matthew's Enterprise oSce have quills attached. You have to confessthat porcupines are arather unique creature. I'm quite sure that if aliens were given the task of collecting the most unusual critters on Earth, porcupines

Porcupines are a favorite prey item for cougars especially if deer and elk numbers are low. The cats quickly learn to flip the rodents over to get at the quillless underbelly.

That porcupines are less common thesedays isa bitsadforme .I use to enjoy seeing these little bark munchers on my forest adventures.

One day, deep in the forest, I came upon one grazing a patch of clover near a little stream. He seemed very delighted with his meal as he was talking loudly

to himself sounding much like a cross between a puppy dog, a little pig and a room full of preschoolers.

That moment certainly made the arduous hike in much more rewarding. Now I ponder the plight of these little beasts. I

FLY-TYING CORNER

FISHING REPORT

Ice flow release putting Grande Rondefish on the move

Pheasant tail nymph a fly-fisherman's staple

The Grande Ronde is free of ice and the river received a much needed bump in flows late last week. This flow increase will put fish on the move from the lower river.

Boating will be much easier for both rafters and drift boaters. With cooling water temperatures, look for fish to move to calmer water where they can conserve energy while holding.

A healthy proportion of two salt fish has resulted in a large average size this year.

So, expect a few larger fish and some screaming drags! Remember, only adipose-fin clipped rainbow trout may be retained and all bull trout must be released unharmed.

Fall Chinook are in the lower Grande Ronde and anglers a catching a few.

There is no open Chinook season on the Grande Ronde. Please release these fish immediately and allow them to finish spawning.

This fly really comes into its own when casting from shore or twitch-trolling behind a float tube. Either a floating line or a slow-sink line can be used to put this pattern into play.

Tie on a long fluorocarbon leader and use a slow retrieve. If fish are cruising, put the bug out on a tight line and let it work without any movement. Tie this one with brown thread on a No. 8-12 curved shank nymph hook.Forthetail,use cock pheasant fibers. Wrap the body with cock pheasant fibers and rib with fine gold wire. Use pheasant for the wing case and fluorescent green imitation seal for the thorax

OUTDOORS 8 REC

Enjoying outdoors becoming pricier The Associated Press

Enjoying the great outdoorsis getting more expensive.

Several decisions and proposalsat various levels of government meanthat you're going to have to set aside a few extra bucks if you plan to get out and enjoy nature — at least at certain locations.

Josephine County commissioners recently approved fee increases at county-operated parks.

The increases are reasonable: The day-use fee goes

up from$4 to $5 for a singleday,orfrom $25 to $30 for a pass that's good Tom Claycomb photo

Flyfishermen take a whole department just for themselves in sporting goods store. Regardless of a fisherman's preferred method of angling, the choices are endless for the fisherman in your life. ishermen are the easiest group in the world to buy for. If you doubt me, just grab a Cabela's catalog... or should I say catalogs.

They have fishing catalogs, boating, clothing and on and on. You could buy a boat, on down to a million stocking stuffers such as lures and weights. And there are a million fishing optionsflyfishing, crappie fishing, bass fishing, salmon fishing, steelhead fishing, off shore fishing and they all take different gear.

On this list you may want him to go through a catalog and giveyou a listof20 items to choose from. That way he gets what he wants, but it will still be a surprise.

This listis so vast I don't even know where to get started. Well, let's try.

F

General fishing • Hire a guide to take him on a fishing trip would be a great idea, especially if you went with him. The ultimate would be a trip to Alaska.

• Loomis flyrod. I have two and love them.

• Reels. You can't ever have enoughreelsand fl yfi shing, crappie fishing and bass fishing all require different reels.

And just one reel won't cut it.

Even when I go backpacking

BASE CAMP

• Electric fillet knife.

• Fishing shoes.

TQM CLAYCQMB

• Tackle box(esl

/

I take two reels. Then when I go crappie fishing I'll take four or five.

• Breathable fishing shirts.

• Polarized sunglasses.

• Jigs. I love Lake Fork Trophy Lures. They have the most realistic plastics on the market. I've visited their plant and fished with them.

They're great guys.

• Flies. I have a million and still keep buying more.

• Lures. It's a communist plot. For instance, let's say Hot'n Tot. I have to have six different colors and then if you'dbetterhave atleast threeofeach colorin case you lose one of the colors that they're hitting on. Get my drift?

Ihave a tackle box for bass, crappie, salmon and trout (actually three to four boxes for each species).

• Dip nets. Need a different one for nearly all species.

• Rods. Ask him what his favorite rod is. Believe it or not, he'llneed a differentrod for every species. Let's say bass. He'll want at least five so he can have a different lure tied on each one so he doesn't waste time tying on lures out on the lake.

• Fly vest.

Boats

• Fishing line. He'll use different weight lines for all the various species of fish that he fishes for.

• Vacuum sealer to bag and freeze his fish.

• Outdoor fish fryer.

• Fish batter for fish fries.

Flyfishing

For his boat there are a million knick knacks he may need.

• Rod holders.

• Fish finder.

• Anchors.

• Bumpers for the dock.

• Minn Kota trolling motor.

• Paddles.

I know we covered some of thisabove but thereare 1/64 ounce bullet weights, dry flies, Gink, wet flies, dip nets, different lines. The list is endless. There are fly shops devoted totally to flyfishermen. And if he ties his own flies, oh my gosh, there's a ton of fly-tying gear. That's a whole list in and of itself.

• I've had good luck ordering flies from flydealflies.com.

• I've got some Frogg Togg waders and rain gear that I'm testing.

• Tippet material. I don't know about you but I burn through this item.

• Fly boxes.

• I've got some cool new wading boots by Korkers that have multiple detachable bottoms.

• I found some nice gloves for your steelhead fisherman

by Kast Extreme Fishing Gear.

• Ropes to tie off with.

• Floating lights for night fishing.

• Lanterns. Zippo makes a Rugged Lantern, and ThermaCELL has a couple of opti ons that also repel mosquitos.

• Hook removers and needle nose pliers.

• Fish scale.

• Dip net.

• Life jackets, new seats or pads to sit on.

• Blue Lizard Sunscreen.

What if you hung up a flyvest as a stocking? Or a tackle box full of goodies?

That'dbe unique and memorable. The secret on this list is to find out what lures/ equipment he uses. There are so many options it can be a shotin the darkifyou don't inquire. If you can't pry it out ofhim, go to your local fishing shop and ask one of theirexperts forsome ideas.

for the whole year. Campingfeesalso increased by similar percentages, with the largestincrease being forcampsites that have full electric and water hookups for RVs. The National Park Service is taking comments right now on its plan to increase the entrance fee at Crater Lake National

Park from $10 to $25, a whopping 150 percent increase. Still, even if the increaseis approved, it's still a pretty good deal, since the $25 fee would get you inand out ofthe park as many times as you wish during a seven-day period.

Meanwhile,the Oregon State Parks Department has announced it will no longer offer its "Discovery Season" discounts for campers during the winter months. The 20-year-old program, which offers a $4-per-night discount for off-season campers, will remain in effect through April. After that, however, thereareno plans to offer it next year.

None of these increases

are particularly hefty — even the increase at Crater Lake marks the first time the entrance fee there has been raised since 1997. Yet, they do reflect a changing attitude toward the way these public resources are managed and funded.

For example, it was less than a decade ago that you could visit any park in Josephine County for free, as long as you didn't plan to spend the night. Now, our county parks receive no general taxpayer support and must cobble together a budgetfrom a combination of user fees and grants from outsidesources.

Similarly, state parks earn about half of their annual $48 million budget from parkingand camping fees. Officials at the departmentpredictthat doing away with the Discovery Season discounts will increase revenue by as

much as $500,000 a year.

What has changed over the years is the attitude that these natural areas are worthy of taxpayer support, so they can be "free" to those who use them. The truth is, they were never "free" — they were simply more extensively subsidized with general tax revenue.

Maybe putting more of thefunding burden on the actual users is a more fair way to go. However, at some point, price increases could lead to a decline in use, which could trigger a decline in revenue. For now, this evolution toward a new funding model seems to be working. It will be interesting to see whether it will continue to work in the long run.

Applications for task force extended WesCom News Service

SALEM — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has extended the application deadline for candidates to represent agriculture and fishing/fish conservationinterestson the state's Fish Screening Task Force. Applicants now have until Dec. 14 to apply.

The ODFW Fish Screening Program helps water users install and maintain fish screens to prevent fish from entering water diversions. The task force advises ODFW on pro-

gram development, implementation, monitoring, technology, funding and reporting.

Members have an opportunity to help direct funding, especially on largerprojects,and tovisitseveral partsofthe stateto learn more about screening and passage issues. The taskforcemeets three times a year at various locations, and meetings may include a local field trip to project sites in the area.

The seven members of the task force

are appointedby the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. Three members representagriculturalinterests,three members represent fishing or fish conservation interests, and one member represents the public at-large. Members serve two-year terms and may be reappointed.

Individuals interested in serving on the task force can contact Pete Baki, ODFW fish screening coordinator,at503-947-6217 or by email at pete.a.baki@state. or.us.

TEST Continued from Page6C substitute for or superior to mammography.

There aren't many scientific studiesthatsupportthe effectiveness of thermography, and the small ones that do say it may be useful in helping to detect cancer if used in conjunction with mammography. Most major medical organizations, including the American Cancer Society and the American College of Radiology, do not recommend the screening.

Dr. Ray Friedman, who worked as a radiologis tfor50yearsand taught at Oregon Health & Science University forthe latterhalfofthoseyearsbefore retiring in April, said angiogenesis, which the proponents say happens in the early stages of tumor development, does not begin in ductal carcinoma in situ tumors until they're between 4 and 6 millimeters large — still moderately early, but after the tumor has had time to develop, he said.

"It ithermographyl can see cancer, no problem,as long asthe cancerisbig,"he said, "and by big, I mean, about the size of a golfball. We want to find cancer that's about the size of your fingernail, or small. Therein lies the problem."

By the time a tumor is 2 centimeters or larger, thepatient' ssurvivalrate dropstolessthan 50 percent,Friedman said.

Likewise, Dr. Patricia Dawson, a breast surgeon at Swedish Hospital in Seattl eand medical directorofthe Swedish Cancer Institute's breast program and the True Family Women's Cancer Center, said until more researchsupports thermography's effectiveness, she would not recommend it to patients, even if used in addition to mammography.

"I think sometimes women are being oversold on thermography and I worry," she said."I've seen enough women come in with late cancers who've been followedby thermography."

'I don't tell people what to do' Candace Parmer, a massage therapist who lives in Portland, first learned about thermography earlier this year from DeLand, whom she has gone to formassages.Itsounded interesting,so she did some research.

"I was so impressed by the way it works that I knew I needed to make this my primary means of detection for any problemsorabnormalities,"said Parmer, 53.

So far, her breast thermograms have turned up normal. A full-body thermogram showed her knee pain was not jointrelated,asshe had guessed,but the result of a tight muscle in one of her calves. She solved the problem by releasing the muscle tension.

"I wasabletoavoid X-rays, "shesaid.

From here on out, Parmer plans to travel to Bend toreceive thermograms annually from DeLand. Like all new patients, she must first have two breast thermograms performed three months aparttoestablish a baselinereading.

DeLand charges $195 for each breast thermogram visit. Full-body thermog-

raphy costs $395.

Ifher thermograms show abnormalities, Parmer said she'll monitor their growth using thermography while working to change her lifestyle or diet — "whatever I think might be the cause of it."

DeLand said Parmer's choice is a personal one, but that she thinks many peopleare doing the same.

"At that point, you can change things and your body can heal it," she said.

"Our bodies can heal cancer if we support them to heal cancer."

DeLand said she encourages her patients to discuss thermography with their physicians, especially if the images show abnormalities, and undergo mammograms if necessary. She even sends results directly to patients' primary care providers.

Ultimately, though, it's up to the patient, shesaid.

Mainstream medicine is different from naturopathic medicine in that it relies on drugs, surgeries and its own imaging methods, DeLand said.

"It's an enormous business, with the insurance, with the hospitals and with the doctors, "she said,"and people,in fear, just get swept into it, and they're really not making their own decisions. ... But some people believe strongly enough in their own health and the strength of their immune systems that they feel comfortable with it."

DeLand said she was mentored in thermography through fellow thermographer Karmen Lawson, who travels to Bend a handful of times a year and providesthermography attwo local clinics: the Westside Family Clinic and High Desert Chiropractic.

Where they stand ORGANIZATION POSITIONS ONTHERMOGRAPHY: American Cancer Society: "Thermography has been around for many years, but studies have shown that it's not an effective screening tool for finding breast cancer early. Although it has been promoted as helping detect breast cancer early, a 2012 research review found that thermography was able to detect only a quarter of the breast cancers found by mammography. In other words, it failed to detect three out of four cancers that were known to be present in the breast."

Susan G. Komen: "Thermography uses infrared light to measure temperature differences on the surface of the breast. Both breast cancer and benign (not cancer) conditions can cause abnormal heat patterns.

Thermography cannot distinguish between cancerous and benign heat patterns . And, because thermography measures heat at the surface of the breast, it is not good at finding cancers deeper within the breast tissue."

American College of Radiology:"The position of the American College of Radiology is that thermography has not been demonstrated to have value as a screening, diagnostic or adjunctive imaging tool." physician who serves as medical director for the Westside Family Clinic, said she has patients who receive annual thermograms and do not receive mammograms.

"I don't tell people what to do," she said."Alotofpeoplefeelbetterwith thermography because their breasts are not squished. There is no pain.

There is no radiation. They're low-risk anyway, and if something abnormal shows up, they go straight to ultrasound.

When reminded of the FDA's warning against forgoing mammography in favor of thermography, Brust said Americans can discern what's best for their health.

'The FDA has put drugs on the m arket thathave killed people,caused cancer and done all kinds of nasties....

Don't even get me started on the FDA," she said.

FDA warnings The FDA cleared the first thermography device that measured temperature variations without touching the skin in 1985, Sanaz Jansen, a reviewer and biomedical engineer in the FDA's CenterforDevicesand Radiological Health, wrote in an email. All thermography devices arecleared asadjunct toolsformeasuring temperature variations on the body's surface, meaning they can not be used as a stand-alone screening method for any condition, including breast cancer, Jansen said.

"FDA has a longstanding concern regarding the promotion of thermography devicesforbreastcancerscreening and diagnosis, for which there is no demonstrated effectiveness," Jansen said."In women who opt for thermography instead of screening mammography, the diagnosis and treatment ofbreast cancer may be significantly

delayed."

The agency has since issued a number of warnings to companies whose advertising falls outside of those boundaries.

The FDA sent a warning letter in 2011 to a California-based thermographerasking that provider to stop making a number of claims that did not fall within the uses the device was approvedfor,including,"Detects breasttissueabnormalities8 to 10 years before a mammogram can detect a mass." This claim is similar to one that appeared on Imaging Alternative's website:"Thermograms can detect tumor cells as much as 8-10 years before mammograms." The claim was removed from Imaging Alternative's website last week.

Jansen, of the FDA, wrote that that claim supports using thermography as a sole screening method, which the devices are not approved for.

In a 2011 warning letter to an Illinois-based thermographer, an FDA official wrote that the business' website claimed thermography can detect conditions like bursitis, herniated discs, ligament or muscle tears,nerve problems, whiplash and risk of stroke, among others. The letter directed the provider to immediately cease making such claims orface regulatory action, as thermography devices such as the Meditherm Med2000 Thermographic camera are not approved to be used alonetodiagnose and screen forthose

conditions.

Imaging Alternatives, which uses a cameracalled theMedit herm Iri s 7.5 DITI, names all of those conditions on its website under "clinical applications" of thermography — a list that includes more than 70 health conditions.

In Oregon,a Medf ord thermography clinic closed in 2009 as part of a settlement agreement with then-Attorney General John Kroger. The clinic had claimed its thermography device could detect thepresence ofbreastcancer sevento10yearsbefore otherdiagnostic procedures, including mammography. Kroger said the clinic also did not advise women who received thermography to also receive mammography.

"Putting the lives of women at risk is unconscionable," Kroger wrote in a statement."Given the lethal consequences of delaying detection of such a deadly cancer, I am giving medical impostersfairnoticethatthese typesof misrepresentations will not be tolerated."

The cli nic'soperatorshad also been engaging in fraudulent billing practices.

'3ustthe image-taker' DeLand received board certification from the American College of Clinical Thermology, which she said required 16 hours of classroom learning and about 50 hours of working closely with other thermologists who had completed additional training. She said the classroom training, held at the Meditherm headquarters in Florida, was "strictly" on how to operate the camera.

DeLand sends the thermal images she takesofpatientsto a third-party interpretation service called Electronic Medical Interpretation, where she said physicians "primarily on the East Coast" perform a thorough evaluation of the images and send DeLand their report usually by the end of the following day. If those physicians find something abnormal, they will indicate in the report that the patient should follow up with his or her primary care physician, DeLand said.

While she's in the room with patients, however, DeLand said she cannot say anything about the images, although they're right in front ofher on the computer screen, even if there is an area that seems to show concentrated heat. DeLand said she encourages patients to look at the images during the visit, but cannot discuss them until she gets the results from Electronic Medical Interpretation.

"It's not my job," DeLand said."I'm just the image-taker."

Some research has been performed on thermography.

One study examined the technique's ability to detect tumors by performingthe imaging on 92 patients who were already recommended toreceivebiopsiesbased on abnormal mammogram or ultrasound results. Biopsiesfound that 60 ofthe 92patients had cancer, and the thermography detected58 ofthosecancers,according to the study, published in 2008 in the AmericanJournal ofSurgery.The researchers concluded that thermography could serve as a"valuable adjunct" to mammographyand ultrasound.

A 1998 study in The Breast Journal found that, when paired with mamm ography, thermography increased the sensiti vity rate,the proportion ofcases correctly identified, by 10 percent. On the flip side, thermography resulted in a 19percent false-positiverate,m eaning the test afftrmed an abnormality that further testing found to be benign.

That study also concluded thermography could be valuable if used in conjunction with mammography.

Mammography also has a high rate of false positives. Research has shown that someone who receives mammograms annually for a decade has between a 50 and60 percent chance ofreceiving a falsepositive,according to Susan G. Koman, a foundation that raises money for breast cancer research.

The problem with the thermography studiesthat have been performed is that their subjects already had cancer, said Dawson, of Swedish Hospital in Seattle. They don't reveal how many women have had normal thermograms and developed cancer, she said.

Recent research has cast doubt on the value of mammography. Earlier this year, a study in the British Medical Journal concluded annual mammography in women ages 40 to 59 does not reducemortality from breast cancerbeyond physical exams or usual care. The study also found one over-diagnosed breastcancer forevery 424 subjects who received mammography.

Mammogram recommendations vary as well. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommends mammograms every other year for woman ages 50 to 74. The American Cancer Society, by contrast, recommends them annually for women starting at age 40.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding often agonize over whether a drug needed for their own health might hurt their baby, or even if the woman's changing body requires a higher or lower dose.

There are more than 6 million pregnancies in the U.S. every year, and FDA says women take an average ofthreeto fiveprescription drugs during pregnancy.

Few medications have been fully studied to answer those questions, and what information is available is hard to tease out of the fine print on drug labels. The letters A, B, C, D and X are used to convey risk, but FDA admits that's hugely misleading. A "B" drug might not really be safer than a"C" drug that just hasn't been properly studied in people to tell.

Television's former "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" directed several episodes of that show, as she's done on her current series,

ABC Family's "Melissa 8' Joey." She calls the shots on a full-length movie for the first time with Life<ime's new comedy "The Santa Con" Saturday, Dec. 13, also co-s<arring in I< as the sister of a paroled con artist (Barry Watson, "7th Heaven" ) who's forced <o play a department-store Santa.

- Meiissa Joan Harl works doth sides - of the camera in 'The Sanla |!on' Melissa Joan Hart has had a good time — for a long time — in f'ron< of the cameras, bu< it's no< enough for her.

"I do enjoy directing," Hart confirms.

"When 'Sabrina' was over, I really wanted <o make a short film <o showcase what I could do storytelling-wise. I financed I< myself, along with a f'riend; I was pregnant a< the time, and as soon as the baby was born, I went on the film-festival circuit and I< was really fun and exciting."

"The Santa Con" plot finds the pseudo Santa promising <o reunite a child's parents.

Melissa Sagemiller ("Law 8' Order: Special Victims Unit" ) has the main female role, which H art was content <o leave <o someone

else since she knew she'd have plenty on her hands with the directing. '"The anxiety was crazy beforehand," Hart admits, "bu< I< turned ou< <o be just a joy, an amazing opportunity <o work with some f'resh talent and also some veteran actors and

f'riends." Other familiar faces in "The Santa

Con" include John Ra<zcnberger ("Cheers"), Jaleel White ("Family Matters"), talk-show host Wendy Williams, Scott Grimes ("Party

of Five") and Alimi Ballard ("Numb3rs").
