Walden talked about the value of town hall meetings for him and his constituents before he got into those details. He said he likes to get back to Oregon almost every week Congress is in session.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 21, 1965 The Baker County LivestockAssociation last night decided to inform Oregon's Congressional delegation that the association is opposed to any legislation that would prohibit the right to bear arms.

Association president Stan Wellman said the proposals in Congress are a "prelude" to legislation that would prohibit the carrying of weapons and termed the legislation as a "foot in the door."

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Jan. 22, 1990 With the Sam-0 Swim Center $50,000 annual levy coming up for renewal, YMCA Director Doyle Perry talked Friday about the center's advantages.

The center is one service in the Baker FamilyYMCA program.

The five-year, $250,000 levy covers utilities, operations and maintenance at the swim center, which was opened in June 1983. But City Manager Art Reiff said the levy providesabout 92percentofthe $50,000 because some people don't pay their taxes the year they're due.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 21, 2005 Peter Jevne's grandfather started his gold-mining company at the perfect place but the worst time.

Franz Jevne Sr. was a couple decades too late to share in the multimillion-dollar bounty that men gouged from the bowels of the Elkhorn Mountains west of Baker City.

But now, 67 years after Franz and three other men founded the Cracker Creek Gold Mining Company, and most of a century since miners hauled the last cart load of glittering ore from the deep black holes they carved in the steepslopes above Sumpter,the company has again sunk thousands of dollars into its holdings.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Jan. 22, 2014 Weldon Reedy is so confident in the snowmobiling conditions around Sumpter that he put a video camera right outside his motel to show how much snow is falling.

Or, as has been the case most of this winter, how much snow isn't falling.

Reedy, who with his wife, Kathy, owns the 14-room Depot Inn in downtown Sumpter, doesn't deny that snow has been relatively scarce this winter.

But it's equally true that a snowmobile doesn't much care whether there's a foot of snow beneath its skis, or10 feet.

Moore on Nov. 11, 1978, at Ontario. The two were introduced by Tik's parents. Two children were born to this union: Jennifer and Randy.

Marilyn worked for 37 years for the OSU Extension Service and was very involved with the 4-H program in Oregon.

She was a 4-H shooting sports coordinator and was involved with the Youth Pheasant Hunt. She was honored as an Oregon State University Distinguished Alumnus and in 2013 she was inducted into the OSU 4-H Hall of Fame.

She enjoyed fishing, the county fair and teaching her grandchildren.

Herfavorite color was obviously 4-H Green, family members said.

Survivors include her husband, Theo"Tik" Moore of Baker City; a daughter, Jennifer iMarcl Slatter of Baker

City; a son, Randy iMarjiel Moore of Plentywood, Montana; two"special" daughters, Chandra McCain and Meghan Gallant; a brother, Robert iLisal Mohr of Gresham a sister Janis iPaull Mohr-Tipton of Applegate; seven grandchildren, Lindsey, Colton and Weston Slatter, Joshua, Levi and Brandon Moore and Trenton Cates; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family; and hundreds of 4-H kids throughout Oregon.

She was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents.

Memorial contributions may be made to a 4-H memorial trust fund. Checks may be made payable to Theo Moore in Trust for Marilyn Moore at any Umpqua Bank.

The Nampa Funeral Home, Yraguen Chapel, is in charge of arrangements. An online guest book is available at www.nampafuneralhome. com

Dr. MenzieMcKim Jr. Baker City, 1922-2014

Dr. Menzie McKim Jr., 92, died Dec. 10, 2014, at his home in Baker City.

There was a memorial service for the McKim family on Dec. 27 atFirstPresbyterian Church. Pastor Katy Nicole officiated. Thirty-seven members of Menzie's family attended.

Menzie was born on Feb. 4, 1922, to Menzie and Myrle Palmer McKun Menzie in the front upMcKim stairs bedroom ofhis parents' house at 1535 Second St. This is now known as the Palmer House.

Dr. Menzie lived a full and adventurous life. He graduated from Baker High in 1939 and then entered the U.S. Navy during World War II. He served 182 days which qualified him for the GI Bill. He attended Jefferson Medical College, majoring in urinalysis, pathology, surgery,

and psychology.

He graduated as salutatorian ofhis class in 1947.

Shortly afterward, he was recalledto active duty by the U.S. Army and served in the Korean War. He was sent to Okinawa as a urinary surgeon for one of the first MASH Units. It was there that he worked with Dr. Dick Hornberger who co-wrote the book"MASH." This book was later produced and became a famous movie based on the skillful, caring work, and rather outrageous humor of the operating staf.

The family still argues about whether Menzie was Hawkeye or Trapper John.

Upon his return to Baker, Menzie ialso called"Kimmie" by those who loved him) practicedattheold Baker Clinic with his brother, Dr. Palmer McKim and Dr. Carl Kostol.

GUEST EDITORIAL

e mos an erous me o ear Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

We feel about the Oregon Legislature as Will Rogers did about Congress.

'This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as we do when the baby gets hold of a hammer," Rogers wrote in The New York Times on July 5, 1930."It's just a question ofhow much damage he can do with it before you can take it away from him."

Oregon's Legislature is set to kick oA'Feb.2. And while there are many important issues for it to address and a budget to pass, we feel safer when the Legislature adjourns.

Senate President Peter Courtney, a Democrat, has a diferent view.

"I honestly believe if you give the dedicated men and women of this Legislature the information they need and enough time to consider it, there is no limit to the quality of work they will produce. That's the Oregon way," he was quoted as saying in Salem's Statesman Journal.

Ifhe says he honestly believes that, we honestly believe him. We also honestly believe he is wrong.

Courtney was a leader in pushing for annual legislative sessions. He was right about that and we supported that change. He is also the longest-serving member of the Legislature. Courtney was first chosen as Senate president in 2003. So he is understandably loyal to and proud of the institution.

But there's a diference between that and honestly believing that iflegislators had more time and more information the quality of their work would improve.

Consider this session. There are already some 50 pieces oflegislation that would increase taxes on Oregonians. There's even one that seeks to make it easier for the Legislature to pass new taxes.

You can't judge tax increases simply by their volume, but 50 should send a powerful message to Oregonians. This Legislature has decided it knows best how to spend taxpayer money.

We honestly believe if you give the dedicated men and women of this Legislature the information they need and more time to consider it, there is no limit to the quantity of new taxes and regulations they will produce. That's this Legislature's way.

The next big shdt is coming in U.S. health care, and Republicans are doing theirbestto speed itup.W hat' snotclear is how carefully they've thought through the consequences.

A definingfeature ofU.S.healthcare policy is that most Americans get insurance through their employers.

That has fiustrated liberals' attempts to rally voters behind Obamacare's modest reforms, let alone the single-payer model that works so well in most developed countries: The average person has no incentive to support changes that might jeopardize their situation.

But judging by the trend of the past few years, Americans with job-based coverage could soon become a minority.

There has been a gradual but steady decline in the percentage of Americans younger than 65 with health insurance provided by their employer, fiom 59.2 percentin 2009 to 57.1 percent in 2013.

(Almosteveryone 65 and olderiscovered

CHRISTOPHER FLAVELLE

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Oregon lawmakers are dazzled by the thought of spending rather than cutting this legislative session. They know state revenues are up. Democrats control both houses of the Legislature and there's a Democrat in the governor's office. Who could ask for more?

The people of Oregon could. Rather than watching the good folks in Salem spend every penny coming in — and then asking us to shell out even more — legislators ought to takea serious look at salting a bit away for hard times. Goodness knows they should be tired of having to come back to Salem every time the economy drops to fill financial gaps left by declining tax revenues.

In fact, according to the Pew Chari-

table Trusts, Oregon has only enough cashreservesto keep the state afloat for 11 days, well below the national m edian of 23 days'reserves.Wo rse,just seven years ago the state had 93 days' cash in reserve and a couple of years ago had 30 days' reserves on hand.

The Great Recession is to blame for some of the state'sreserveproblems, clearly.

In 2007 Oregon was forced to give back nearly 20 percent of income tax revenues, thanks to the kicker law.

Meanwhile, from the creation of the rainy day fund in 2007 through 2010, lawmakers dipped into it three times to helpkeep the state and itsschools afloat. In 2009 they also tapped into the state's Education Stability Fund, according to the Legislative fiscal office.

Much as lawmakers might like to think otherwise, the kicker law,

enshrined in the state constitution and thus requiring a vote of the people to change, is probably here to stay. That means lawmakers must find another way to boostreserves.A legislatively proposed education budget would add $159 million to the fund, but that still leaves it only about halfway to a stated goalof7 '/2percentofrevenue.

The best option is discipline. Rather than spending every penny that comes through the door and looking for more, the Legislature should, now, set a rainy day fund goal for this session, make that a priority and then create a general fund budget that meets the goal. It's much easier to spend than to save,we recognize,butifhistory tells us anything it's that sometime in the not-distant future, a healthy rainy day fund will come in handy.

Walden said Republicans have used every leverage the Constitution allows.

Walden said about one-third of the federal budget is what we have control over. After discussing where money is spent by the federal government and the budget bill the house passed, he said'We'vegotto getback to where these decisions are made locally, where they're sustainable, where they work and where you have input. And we have to stop thinking Washington has got all the answers because they got all the problems."

Van Diepen replied, "What can we do to affectthat?"

"It does come down to votes in the Congress ... most of the reforms we've talked about doing in this Congress, the president has said he would veto," Walden said.

After some discussion about budget cuts Republicans have worked on, Walden talked about taxes. He said if welowered the corporate tax rate — which he said is the highest in the world — and dropped it 20 or 25 percent, corporations would move back to America and create more jobs here and at they would at least be paying taxes insteadofavoiding them overseas.

What are QOUl

Brent Cadwell, of Bronson Lumber, also is in the National Guard, which drug tests monthly.

Cadwell's job requires a large amount of heavy lifting and trust in his co-worker next to him that they won't be under the influence any kind of substance that will endanger anyone.

WILLDRUG POLICIES SOON START

By Cherise Kaechele WesCom News Service

W hat do you think?

Marijuana is on its way to legalization in Oregon, but what changes are in store? For businesses, their drug policy may see a change on the horizon.

For the business owners who perform random drug tests, their policies may or may not be changing. Depending on the industry, an impaired employee can be a danger to his or her coworkers.

Bronson Lumber, for instance, has a zero tolerance policy for any drugs, including marijuana, and random drugtests are performed on a monthly basis, said employee Wyatt Williams.

"The owner was tested last month,"Williams said."This job requires heavy lifting, forklift operation — any kind of drug will inhibit their safety."

Williams said as far as he knows, there's never been a problem with employees taking drugs of any kind. However, if an employeewere to testpositive, they would be fired immediately, he said.

"The situation hasn't arisen, yet undoubtedly it will," he said.

Additionally, he said medical marijuana cardholders wouldn't be able to handle the strenuous activity required of the position.

Dan Stark, the president of the Union County Economic Development Corporation, said the pos-

We want to hear your thoughts. tr Email letters 'I to the editor to news@ lagrandeobserver. com and join the conversation on The Observer Opinion page.

sible changes in drug policies for local businesses is a new concept that he hasn't heard a lot about.

"This is new to all of us," Stark said."I wouldn't know. I don't know how legislation shakes out the relationship with imarijuanal use and hiring restrictions. I can't answer that."

Brent Cadwell, who also works at Bronson Lumber but is also in the National Guard, said he has a double whammy with the National Guard testing for drugs once a month.

"I don't partake," Cadwell said. oYou can't come to work drunk, why would you come stoned?

You'd kill somebody."

Cadwell said in the National Guard, if you're caught"doing anything" then you're out. If someonecarried a me dicalmarijuana card and tried to get into the Guard, they wouldn't be able to enlist, he said.

Smokehouse Restaurant owners Jack and Tammy Chess are a

bit more lax in their drug policy. oWe don't drug test new hires," Tammy Chess said.oWe don't do random tests."

However, Jack Chess said, if the employee is calling in sick all the time or their behavior is affectingtheirjob performance, that's when a drug test would be administered.

"If they're smoking over the weekend, and not just before their shift, it just depends on the circumstance," Tammy Chess said.

"As long asitdoesn'taffecttheir job, just like alcohol, then we'll see how it goes."

In the past, the owners have threatened to administer drug tests to employees who the Chessesbelieved were acting oddly. Usually the employee quit beforetaking the testto avoid the "humiliation" of testing positive, the Chesses said.

Jack Chess said the drug tests do break down the substances the employee tested positive for. They are able to see whether they have marijuana in their system, just as easily as if they have methamphetamine.

Jack and Tammy Chess both said, though, if an employee tests positiv eform arijuana thatdoesnot necessarily mean they will be fired.

uccess in 2015 will be determined by how effectively the leader of any organization executes against their plan. At the end of the year, the only question that will matter is oWere the goals achieved?"

Most owners, CEOs and top executives I know are already overwhelmed with daily work, despite the fact that most started the year with goals, a plan and the intentto startmo ving forward.

Yet, the day-to-day management of the business, what I call firefighting, has already taken the initiative away from some owners who should be focusing on more strategic items.

So, here we are, not even four weeks into the new year, and already the agreed upon priorit iesofthe business are being pushed to the back burner.

What can be done about this? How can the initiative tofocuson the strategicbe regained?

The answer starts with a question, perhaps the most important question of the year: What are your real priorities?

Many years ago, an executive I had worked for at two companies shared advice that I thought was useful. He told me that the priority of his work each day was first, clients; second, ownership; third, fellow employees; and last,businesspartners,includingvendors and strategic alliances.

This is easy to accept and execute if you happen to be working in the same office every day, and your workload is steady. But this was also in the days prior to the advent of email.

Emails iand texts) no longer allow a person to set the priorities of their day.

Work is now being controlled by someone else who sends a request for information or demands time in a meeting.

Instead of having some sort ofhierarchy of requests, anyone can iand frequently SeeKeller / Page 2B

lookingforsecureSlacestoinvestin2015 nvesting is fascinating and at

t times overwhelming. Is the

market too high? Are interest ratesgoing up orgoing to stay down? Where is the best place to put my money?

These are all questions I hear on a regular basis. There is no simple answer. An excellent startingplaceifyou are investing for growth is by taking a look at what is currently doing well and perhaps more importantly, what isn't doing so well.

Begin by looking at different components of the markets.

The major market indexes are made of companies in different industries.

The nine major sectors or industries are consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, materials, technology and utilities.

Accordingto arecentarticle in The Economist,"The key to stock market success is avoiding

INVEST-IVISION MARCY HAINES the worst sectors." They point out that"global energy stocks were down 8.7 percent on the year

ithrough Dec.2,2014l,lagging nearly31 percentage points behind returns in the best-performing sector of the year, health care."

That seems like an awfully large difference. Interestingly enough, the difference is fairly mild by historical standards. In 2013, the difference between the bestperforming sector and the worst was 39 percent.

The Economist has a hypothetical investor, named Felicity Foresight. According to their research, Felicity would have earned a return of 66 percent sincethe startof2007,had she simplysteered clearoftheworst-

performing sector each year. The MSCI World index over the same periodreturned 32 percent,less than half the return. The examples continue with one of the most dramatic being in the late 1990s, during the dotcom bubble.

At this time, the value of equity markets grew exponentially, with the technology-dominated Nasdaq index rising from under 1,000 to 5,000 between 1995 and 2000. After the bubble burst, technology stocks became one of the worst performers. The gap between the best and worst performers was over 100 percentage points — quite a difference.

How to follow sectors You can rely on economics.

Back to The Economist article, "Get your economic calls right and thesectorstend to select themselves." For example, defensivesectors such ashealth care and consumer staples — things

people buy in good and bad times — have beenthe bestperformers sincethe startof2007.

If your economic skills need brushing up, you can simply start paying attention to your favorite financial website or financial periodical.

M osthave asection on sectors. Google Finance, for example, includes a sector summary on the front page. Be aware of what is trending up and trending down. Another idea is to pick a few companies in various sectors and chart or watch their prices overperiods oftime ,say the 200day moving average. If the prices dropbelow the moving average,it may indicate an extended decline of that company and sector.

Stay tuned for more info on the bestperforming sectorsin 2015.

I will be commenting on them throughout the year. With knowledge comes confidence; having sectors on your investment radar can beavery valuabletool.

"It's been 12 years, and most of us are elderly folks, pushing 70, and we have these health issues," said founder Lark Brandt, 69, as she listed off the hand pains, knee surgeries and bad backs among the members. cwe're just too old. It just happens.

Both Mercy Corps and Pies for Peace would love for a new volunteer, or group of volunteers, to continue making pies. Brandt is willing to share recipes and tips with anyone who wants to continue the project.

She's also considering creating a cookbookofpie recipesthatcould be published as a Mercy Corps fundraiser and also as a blueprint for anyone looking to hold a bake sale.

Also last week, Amazon announced it had reached a deal with filmmaker Woody Allen in which he would write and direct his first television series.

'Though a lot of the attention in the industry and press has been focused recently on television series, and it is indeed a new golden era in television, we think the death of film has been greatly exaggerated and films can and will continue to be a vital, brilliant and unique part of culture in America and throughout the world," Price said in the email."There is still a robust audience, certainly on Amazon, for interesting films."

First the small screen, now the big screen. Amazon's entertainment ambitions come in all sizes.

After winning acclaim for one of its original television productions, Amazon announced Monday it would produce and acquire films for theatrical release and early distribution on its Prime InstantVideoservice.

Amazon original movies will be available for U.S. streaming four to eight weeks after they make their debut in theaters, a significant reduction of the window of 39 to 52 weeks that films normally play in theaters beforebecoming availablefor streaming.

The development is another step in Amazon's ambitious plan to increase its entertainment offering to consumers and an escalation in Amazon's rivalry with Netflix. It also signals both companies' broader ambitions to revolutionize the so-called windowing system for TV and movies in the traditional entertainment industry.

In the fall, Netflix announced movie deals with comedian Adam Sandler and also said it would release a sequel to the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

simultaneously across the globe and in a select number of Imax theaters.

Amazon said it was seeking tocreate 12 mo viesa year that"focus on unique stories, voicesand characters from topand up-and-coming creators." Production will startlaterthisyear.

In an email, Roy Price, vice president of Amazon Studios, describedthe projectsas "indie" movies, with budgets
