Shepherd and Taylor McAdams each added one homer.
ONE YEAR AGO

Baker County’s often-delayed plan to award a new
contract for operating a visitors center in Baker City could
be extended again, this time to March 2022.
That would be more than two years after county
commissioners were originally slated to award the
contract.
The current contract, for about $77,000 per year, is
with the Baker County Chamber of Commerce, which
operates the visitor center at 490 Campbell St., near
Interstate 84. The money comes from the local tax that
guests pay at motels, bed and breakfasts, vacation rental
homes and other types of lodging.
In December 2019, the county received two proposals
for visitor services, from the Chamber and from the
nonprofi t that owns Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort.
In February 2020 commissioners postponed awarding
the contract. In November 2020 commissioners decided
to restart the process, after the county’s attorney
determined there were potential confl icts of interest.
Then, on March 3, 2021, commissioners voted 3-0 to
extend the contract with the Chamber through Aug. 31,
2021, and to propose a six-member work group, with three
members appointed by commissioners and three by the
Baker City Council, to review both the contract and the
other uses for the lodging tax revenue.
That work group was formed, and it has been meeting
regularly over the past two months.

Wolves
Continued from Page A1
Both calves had multiple bite
scrapes up to 3/16th-inch wide
on the inside, rear and outside
of their hindquarters above the
hock, along with tissue trauma,
according to the ODFW re-
port.
One calf — the one Ash
mentioned — had a pair of
three-inch open wounds on the
inside and outside of the right
hind leg above the hock, ac-
cording to the report.
The report reads: “These two
attacks appear to be from the
same event and were attributed
to the Cornucopia pack.”
Biologists also examined
a third calf, which had a few
scrapes on the lower portion of
the left hind leg, mostly below
the hock.
Because there wasn’t enough
evidence on the third calf to
determine the cause of the
scrapes, the incident was clas-
sified as “possible/unknown”
rather than a confirmed wolf
attack, according to ODFW.
Also on May 9, biologists
examined the carcass of a
125-pound calf that a rancher
found the morning of May 8
in a private, 40-acre pasture
near the rancher’s house in the
Houghton Creek area north of
Keating.
The carcass was mostly in-
tact and most of the hide was
present, but some internal or-
gans and some muscle tissue
on three legs were missing.
Biologists concluded the calf
had died the night before it was
found.
Biologists found numerous
pre-mortem bite marks on the
calf’s back, 1/8th to 3/4 inches
wide, with two tears in the hide
and associated bruising and

muscle tissue trauma.
There were no bite scrapes
on the hindquarters, flanks or
elbows, areas “where wolves
commonly bite,” according to
the ODFW report.
Also, the “damage on the
back were smaller than ex-
pected for wolf. Some domes-
tic dogs were causing damage
nearby, but since the cause of
death cannot be confirmed as
coyote or domestic dog, this
determination is ‘possible/un-
known.’ ”
Ash said earlier this week
that he’s concerned about the
number of recent attacks on
cattle, and he suggested that
ODFW consider either killing
some wolves or giving permits
to ranchers who have had cattle
attacked at least twice, allowing
them to hunt wolves.
Under Oregon’s wolf man-
agement plan, livestock own-
ers don’t need a permit to kill a
wolf that is biting, wounding,
killing or chasing the owner’s
livestock or working dogs.
But ODFW can also issue
“lethal take” permits to ranch-
ers whose animals have been
attacked multiple times within
a nine-month period, and
who have shown they have
tried nonlethal tactics to deter
wolves.
Such permits allow livestock
owners, or their designated
agents, to kill wolves under
any circumstance, even if the
wolves aren’t attacking livestock
at the time. Permits include the
number of wolves that can be
killed, and a time limit.
After a series of confirmed
wolf attacks on cattle in Wal-
lowa County in late April,
ODFW issued a permit to
rancher Tom Birkmaier. His
agent killed a yearling male
wolf from the Chesnimnus
pack on May 3.
Earlier this month in Baker
County, ODFW biologists con-
cluded that wolves from the
Cornucopia pack had killed
one calf and injured two oth-
ers north of Richland, and that
wolves from the Keating pack
injured a calf in the Skinner
Road area of the Keating Valley.
The calf that died likely was
attacked on May 4, and the two
calves that survived were at-
tacked about two weeks before
biologists examined them on
May 5, according to ODFW
reports.
The site where the calf died,
north of Richland, is about half
a mile from the area where bi-
ologists examined the two in-
jured calves on May 9.
