Oregon voters decide Nov. 7 whether to maintain property
taxes as the predominant source of funding for public schools.
Included on the ballot is Measure No. 9 which would prohibit

GRANITE — An Oregon State Police sergeant was killed
Thursday afternoon near Granite when explosives detonated
as he was trying to dispose of them.
Richard James Schuening, 53, an arson and explosives
expert from Salem, died at the scene.
No one else was hurt in the incident, which occurred
about 12:40 p.m. near the Olive Lake Road about eight
miles west of Granite.

Ben Arvat recently opened Baker Wireless Repair.
“The technician part always
fascinated me,” he said.
Future additions to the
shop will be a display fea-
turing the progression of
cellphones — flip phones, a
Blackberry and “the inde-
structible Nokias.”
He also has an original Nin-
tendo Duck Hunt game that
he’ll hook up — when he finds
a compatible older TV.
“I’m very much into tech-
nology,” he said.
His shop is open Mon-
day through Friday, 9 a.m. to
6 p.m., and weekends by ap-
pointment.

No wolf attacks on cattle have been reported in the
Lookout Mountain country of eastern Baker County since
state wildlife workers shot and killed three wolves from the
Lookout Mountain pack, including the breeding male, on
Sept. 17.
But wolves have killed cattle elsewhere in Northeastern
Oregon during the past two weeks, including in Baker County.
In the Ukiah area of Umatilla County, the Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has authorized a rancher,
or the rancher’s designated agent, to kill up to two wolves on
the rancher’s property.
The lethal take permit expires Oct. 31, when two wolves
have been killed, or when the rancher’s cattle are moved
from that area, whichever happens fi rst.
ODFW biologists confi rmed two separate attacks by
wolves on private land in Ukiah Valley, one on Sept. 25, the
other on Sept. 28.
Three calves died and fi ve others were injured, according
to ODFW. The calves were all about six months old and
weighed between 450 and 550 pounds.
ODFW biologists also confi rmed that wolves killed a
400-pound calf on a public land grazing pasture in the south-
ern Wallowa Mountains near Eagle Creek on Sept. 28.
According to an ODFW report, a hunter found the calf’s
carcass on the morning of Sept. 28 near the Amalgamat-
ed Mine, along Paddy Creek about 17 miles northwest of
Richland.
ODFW biologists examined the carcass and found more
than 30 pre-mortem parallel tooth scrapes on the outside
and back of the calf’s left hind leg above the hock, as well as
similarly sized tooth scrapes on the right hind leg.
“The location, size, number and direction of tooth scrapes
are consistent with wolf attack injuries on calves,” according
to the report.
Biologists estimated the calf was killed early on Sept. 28,
and they attributed the attack to the Keating wolf pack.
Wolves from the Keating pack killed a pair of two-month-
old calves north of Keating Valley in late April 2021, and they
killed a calf in late May in the same area.
The Keating pack consists of eight wolves, according to
the annual wolf report ODFW released in April.
The pack had at least two pups in the spring of 2020 that
survived through the end of that year.
ODFW offi cials are trying to determine which wolf pack is
responsible for the attacks on calves in the Ukiah area.
