The Baker County Board of Commissioners voted
Wednesday, July 28 to spend $80,000 of the county’s
federal COVID-19 aid to fund the Baker Heritage
Museum director as a full-time position for two years.
Cammy Warner, vice chair of the Baker County
Museum Commission, requested $40,000.

bite scrapes above the left
hock, along with deep tis-
sue trauma and missing
tissue, that wolves were
responsible. The biologist
estimated the steer had
been attacked 10 to 12
days earlier.
The earlier investiga-
tion happened on Friday,
July 23 in the Nodine
Creek area, when a
rancher found a dead
850-pound, 1 1/2-year-old
heifer on private land.
An ODFW biologist
examined the carcass and
found a blood trail lead-
ing from a struggle scene
to the carcass, which
was intact and complete
except for scavenging on
the upper hindquarters,
groin, right fl ank and
some organs, according to
a report.
The biologist estimated
the heifer died late on
July 22 or early on July
23.
Earlier this month,
ODFW biologists
concluded that Lookout
Mountain wolves killed a
fi ve-month-old calf on a
public land grazing allot-
ment around July 13, and
injured a 1 1/2-year-old
steer several days later on
a private pasture.

In-person meetings have been canceled, but she’s still going out to check
on her 4-H kids’ animals to see how they’re doing and make sure the kids are
keeping up with their record books.
In addition to their careers and involvement with 4-H, the McElligotts have
a full-time obligation to their ranch. They’ve raised Black Angus cattle for the
past 20 years and rarely have a moment to spare.
“We both are from rural areas and ranch backgrounds,” Matt said. “So this is
our kind of lifestyle. Our kind of area.”

Those are the third and
fourth attacks on cattle
attributed to the Lookout
Mountain pack since July
13. All were in the same
general area northeast of
Durkee.
In response, Baker
County Commissioners
have asked ODFW to ap-
prove a lethal take permit
and assist with killing
some of the wolves from
the Lookout Mountain
pack, said Brian Ratliff,
district wildlife biologist
at ODFW’s Baker City
offi ce.
As of Wednesday after-
noon, state offi cials had
not decided whether to
approve the permit.
The most recent inves-
tigation was on Monday,
July 26, in the Manning
Creek area northeast of
Durkee.
On the afternoon of
July 25, a rancher found
an injured 850-pound,
1 1/2-year-old steer on
private land, according to
an ODFW report.
A biologist from ODFW
examined the injured
steer and concluded,

Main was riding in the front passenger seat of the
2013 Toyota Highlander that Schlett, of 1660 East St.,
was driving at around 11 p.m. on Nov. 30.
Schlett failed to make a sharp curve, causing the
vehicle to roll. It landed on its passenger side in a fi eld.
Main died at the scene. Schlett sustained minor inju-
ries. Two juveniles who were also passengers sustained
serious injuries.
A grand jury indicted Schlett in January 2021 on
charges of second-degree manslaughter, criminally neg-
ligent homicide, third-degree assault, reckless driving
and recklessly endangering another person, in addition
to driving while under the infl uence of intoxicants.
Schlett pleaded guilty to criminally negligent
homicide, third-degree assault, one count of recklessly
endangering and DUII.
The 60-month prison sentence was for criminally
negligent homicide, a Class B felony. Powers also sen-
tenced Schlett to 34 months on the third-degree assault
conviction, but the sentence was concurrent, meaning
it didn’t increase his prison term.
The manslaughter and reckless driving charges,
and one recklessly endangering count, were dismissed
in a plea agreement. Schlett will be under post-prison
supervision for fi ve years.
The manslaughter charge was the most serious;
had Schlett been convicted of that crime, he would
have been sentenced to 75 months in prison with no
chance for early release. He could earn a reduction in
the 60-month sentence with good behavior, as crimi-
nally negligent homicide does not carry a mandatory
minimum sentence.
Greg M. Baxter, Baker County district attorney, said
he considered multiple factors in agreeing to the plea
deal, including that Schlett admitted his guilt and that
he had no criminal history.
Baxter also noted that one of Main’s relatives ad-
dressed Judge Powers prior to sentencing, noting that
no punishment could bring back Main.
Baxter said he was echoing that statement in a com-
ment he made in a press release.
“There are no winners in a case like this,” Baxter
said in a press release. “A harsher punishment won’t
bring back the victim or cure the injuries suffered by
the juvenile victims. This is an example of how many
lives can be affected by one person’s decision to drink
and drive.”
