to the recession, St. Elizabeth Health Services posted net
income of more than $239,000, according to the hospital’s
annual report for the 2008-2009 fi scal year.
This marks the second consecutive year St. Elizabeth

State wildlife offi cials tranquilized an adult male bear in-
side the Sumpter city limits Wednesday and then released
the 225-pound bruin Thursday on private land more than
30 miles away.
Brian Ratliff, district wildlife biologist at the Oregon De-
partment of Fish and Wildlife’s (ODFW) Baker City offi ce,
said Thursday’s release in the Lookout Mountain unit east
of Baker City went well.
“The bear seemed to be in good health,” Ratliff said.
He attached tags to each of the bear’s ears that notify
any hunter who might shoot the bear that its meat will not
be fi t for human consumption until about Nov. 7 because
it takes about 14 days for the tranquilizer to metabolize.
Ratliff thinks it’s unlikely the bear will be shot, though,
because the release site is in a large area of private land
that’s not open to hunting.
Although ODFW typically kills bears found near homes,
Ratliff said the situation in Sumpter was different in a
couple of ways.
