I thought I was going to come here and be done, but after sitting up on Dunham Road for a year, I thought, ‘This ain’t cutting it. I’m not meeting new people.’ So now I’m meeting all kinds of fun people,” he said. “I’m not trying to prove any- thing. I’m not trying to burn down Enterprise. I’ve had fi ve separate salons in Port- the game in that space.” Steve Moore, executive director of the M.J. Mur- dock Charitable Trust, said the program “provides an innovative, sustain- able solution that helps our natural landscapes thrive while simultaneously growing local business.” “Ranchers in the Pacifi c Northwest play a vital role in helping our region thrive but face a variety FUEL Continued from Page B1 Angus Duncan, chair emeritus of the Oregon Global Warming Com- mission, said that a shift to electric vehicles and those that use hydrogen fuel is a longer-term solu- tion to climate change. “We need an interim solution that can show Bill Bradshaw/Wallowa County Chieftain Hairstylist Michael Ferrell stands amid some of the curios that deco- rate his new salon, Michael’s on Main, across from the courthouse in Enterprise on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022. land.

No adaptions needed, no warrantees voided.” Aside from climate change considerations, proponents argued that petroleum diesel poses health dangers because it contains heavy metals and other toxic substances. Breathing in diesel pol- lution laced with those toxic substances causes infl ammation that leads to heart and lung disease, as well as certain cancers, said Sharon Meieran, a doctor and Multnomah County commissioner. “Prevention is better than treatment,” she said. “Cleaning up diesel pol- lution prevents some ter- rible consequences.” of challenges, plans to hire a new including devel- regenerative ranching opment, climbing program manager costs, climate by the end of March. change and more,” They will then get to Moore said. work enrolling the “Organizations fi rst cohort of ranches Kruse like Sustainable in the program, map- Northwest are ping their properties doing important and developing indi- work to help sup- vidual grazing plans. port the individ- “It’s voluntary, it’s uals and families incentive-based.

You are never afraid of hard work, and you are perfectly capable of balancing your home life with the needs of your career -- and yet it does not always seem so because you are so often off to work even when important things are happening at home. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25 PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can use almost everything that happens to you today as inspiration for something that you will soon be planning in detail. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can learn from your mistakes today, but you’ll eventually want to stop making them at all -- and that lesson begins before nightfall. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2022 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What comes your way today may not be entirely to your taste, but you may be able to make adjust- ments that improve its overall suitability. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Seek and ye shall find today -- but you must be sure that you are seeking the right things in the right places. Don’t endanger yourself! CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be tired of all the bad news you’re hearing these days, but take time to dig a little deeper and you’ll find something to celebrate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Are you really giving your all to a project that demands noth- ing less? It may be time to stop and reassess your performance on the job at this time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should be able to determine what exactly is making someone behave in a certain way -- but you won’t be able to stop it just yet. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be tempted to do something that goes against conventional wisdom. Think twice, and if you still want to do it, by all means do! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will benefit from narrowing your focus just a bit today and letting others take care of periph- eral issues that don’t involve you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your well-being must be at the forefront of your mind today, because if you’re not healthy, you cannot help others who need your help. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be nearing a “point of no return,” but there’s still enough time today to reach out to someone who may soon be out of touch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not understand yourself as well as certain friends or loved ones do right now, so there’s no reason not to listen to their advice. 110 Announcements 110 Announcements To Place a Classified Ad Please email your contact information and the content to be included in the ad to: classifieds@bakercityherald.com If you are unable to email please call: (541) 523-3673 Deadlines for Classified Ads 4:00 PM two days prior to publication Tuesday Publication..........Friday by 4 PM Thursday Publication.....Tuesday by 4 PM Saturday Publication....Thursday by 4 PM 110 Announcements COPYRIGHT 2022 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.
