Phase A is the second level of restrictions, generally implemented when ire danger is moderate to high. The Umatilla National Forest went back into Phase A restrictions earlier in the week. Under seasonal restrictions, campires are allowed if they are built in pits surrounded by dirt, rock or commercial rings, in areas that have been cleared of lammable vegetation within a 3-foot radius. Anyone tending a campire must have with them a shovel or similar tool, as well as one gallon of water, to ensure the ire is completely extinguished prior to leaving. Shovels and water are not required at certain developed campgrounds, including Anthony Lakes Campground, Union Creek Campground and Fish Lake Campground. Seasonal campire restrictions will remain in effect through Oct. 31. Chainsaws are allowed only between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. Operators should have an ax, shovel and minimum 8-ounce ire extin- guisher on hand, and must watch for ires for one hour after inishing. These restric- tions do not apply to people with commercial or personal use irewood permits, which fall under a different set of regulations. Phase A also limits smoking to enclosed vehicles, buildings or cleared areas, and prohibits off-road vehicle travel through standing grass or anything else that could catch on ire.

BRIEFLY Infant death linked to co-sleeping BAKER CITY (AP) — Baker County authorities are investigating the death of a 5-week-old boy who died of asphyxiation caused by co-sleeping. The Baker City Herald reports the baby had been sleeping with his mother when he died last weekend. The baby’s father was also home at the time. District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff said that an autopsy was conducted Monday in Portland. Shirtcliff said he and his staff helped establish a Cribs for Kids program in Baker County after three babies died of “positional asphyxiation” linked to co-sleeping in 2009 and another two died last year. Horses, mules die in highway accident THE DALLES (AP) — Four horses and two mules that escaped their pasture are dead after being struck by a big rig hauling potatoes in Sherman County. The Oregon State Police says the animals were standing in the middle of U.S. Highway 97 when they were hit in the pre-dawn hours Friday morning. The driver of the truck was not hurt but the vehicle sustained severe damage to the front end. The animals had to walk several miles to get to the highway from their pasture. It’s not clear how they escaped their enclosure. By TOM BANSE Northwest Public Radio OLYMPIA, Wash. — What kind of weather might the Northwest be in for this fall and winter? Well, one meaningful clue came when federal forecasters at the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center Thursday dropped their “La Nina Watch.” La Nina and its opposite, El Nino, are tropical climate patterns that can strongly inluence snowfall and temperatures in the Paciic Northwest. La Nina is characterized by unusually cold surface waters in the equatorial Paciic Ocean. For much of this year, federal forecasters thought a mild La Nina was developing. But no longer. Kathie Dello, deputy director of the Oregon Climate Service at Oregon State University, said the outlook has now been dialed back to “ENSO neutral” in weather-speak — or La Nada. But she said that doesn’t necessarily equate to an “average” winter. “Well really, anything goes,” Dello said. “We’ve had warm ENSO neutral years. We’ve had cool ones. Wet ones, dry ones.” Dello said a persistent blob of unusually warm water closer by in the North Paciic contributes to the Climate Prediction Center’s forecast of “above normal” temperatures from October to December across the Northwest. “The skiers were super-excited when the La Nina Watch was irst posted because it tends to mean big, cold winters with big snowfalls here,” Dello said in an interview. “They might be a little bit bummed at this outlook, but like I said, anything goes.” “We could get a big snow- fall in a ‘neutral’ year,” she added. “That warmer than Investing is about more than money. At Edward Jones, we stop to ask you the question: “What’s important to you?” Without that insight and a real understanding of your goals, investing holds little meaning. Contact your Edward Jones fi nancial advisor for a one-on-one appointment to discuss what’s really important: your goals. www.edwardjones.com Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accu- rate and sincerely regrets any errors. If you notice a mistake in the paper, please call 541-966-0818. normal temperature outlook though is a little concerning.” The National Weather Service’s three-month outlook also contains a higher probability of above-average precipitation across northern Washington and Idaho. University of Wash- ington Professor of Atmospheric Sciences Cliff Mass observed that neutral winters carry some risk of unusual or severe weather. “The biggest windstorms, strongest atmospheric rivers and largest snowstorms tend to like neutral years,” Mass wrote in an email. “These are infrequent events, but when they happen, major problems occur.” Mass predicted if the current outlook pans out, water supplies “should be average for next summer.” The federal Climate Prediction Center assigned a 55 to 60 percent chance for neutral conditions in the equatorial Paciic to last through fall and winter.
