The city budget board last night decided to increase
across-the-board golf membership fees by 25 percent and
“substantially” increase dog leash fi nes, pending approval
of the city council.

Community Connection of Baker County is asking the
Baker City Council for $5,000 to help offset a decrease in
revenue from other sources for the organization’s senior
citizen programs.
Community Connection, which is receiving less money
from the county, state and federal governments, also is
seeking fi nancial help from the city councils of Halfway,
Richland and Sumpter, said Mary Jo Carpenter, Community
Connection manager.

Brownlee Reservoir’s big drawdown has shrunk.
And the reservoir itself is expanding.
Which is the happiest bit of news so far this spring for
boaters and anglers who congregate at the 53-mile-long
reservoir that forms the boundary between Oregon and
Idaho.
In mid April the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers told Idaho
Powder Co., which owns and operates Brownlee Dam, to
prepare to lower the reservoir to 63 feet below full by the
end of April.

Wolves from the Keating pack in Baker County killed a
pair of two-month-old calves on a public land cattle grazing
allotment north of Keating Valley last week.
Brian Ratliff, district wildlife biologist at the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (ODFW) Baker City offi ce,
said his investigation on Friday, April 30 showed ample
evidence that wolves killed the calves.
“It was a classic case (of wolf depredation),” Ratliff said
on Monday, May 3. “It was pretty straightforward.”
Ratliff said a hunter who reported the attack — not the
rancher who owns the calves — was driving through the
allotment on the morning of April 30 and saw one dead
calf and a wolf standing on it.
The hunter texted Ratliff, who arrived at the spot later
that day.
Ratliff said he found two dead calves about 40 yards
apart. The calves were born this winter and were among
a herd of 57 cow-calf pairs that were moved to the
allotment, managed by the Bureau of Land Management,
on April 16.
Based on the absence of any evidence that scavenging
birds had fed on either carcass, Ratliff said he believes
wolves killed the calves either late on April 29 or early on
April 30.
He said there were “struggle scenes” and wolf tracks
around each of the calves.
Ratliff said both carcasses had bite marks that, based
on their location and depth, are consistent with wolves
rather than smaller predators such as coyotes.
Ratliff said he also found splotches of blood on
vegetation that was still standing and had not been
trampled.
