BRIEFING

Barbecue rib dinner benefits senior nutrition

By Chris Collins ccollins©bakercityherald.com

Although the FBI uniform crime report released last week doesn't rank Baker City as the worst in Oregon in terms of violent crimes, the 61 such crimes reported in 2014 is higher than the number reported by many Oregon cities of similar size.

La Grande, with a population of 13,150 compared to Baker City's 9,890residents,reported just 15 violent crimes in 2014.

And Ontario to the south, with documented gang activity and apopulation of11,465,re- Lohner ported65 violentcrimes forthe year — just four more than reported in Baker City, according to the FBI report.

Those statistics aren't what one would expect from Baker City, which just last September was named the "safest city in Oregon to live" by Safe Choice Security.

Police Chief Wyn Lohner doesn't just call the numbers reported in the FBI's uniform crimereportmisleading — he goes asfaras to say the numbers are "completely inaccurate."

'They are statsand statsare sohard to judge," Lohner said."Everybody records stats differently. You can never compare UCRs betweencities."

Mike Aguirre volunteers to guide students through the demolition process in exchange for salvageable wood.

T ODAY Issue 65, 34 pages

from the Baker Technical Institute at Baker High School used pry bars and hammers to begin ripping nails and boards from two of the buildings. They worked alongside and under the guidance of their teacher, Megan Alameda, and volunteer Mike Aguirre.

Alameda is the instructor for the class titled "Environmental Science: Brownfield in Baker."

Aguirre, owner of My Little Woodshop in Baker City, has helped train the students and lead them in the first phase of the tear-down work in exchange for the usable salvaged weathered wood.

Aguirre said he will use some of the weathered redwood, cedar and fir boards from the old buildings to make rustic home decor products at his shop at the north end of Main Street.

Alameda recruited Aguirre after learning about his demolition experience when the class called for statements of qualifications for review before hiring a firm in March to lead the cleanup effort.

One volunteer

Margaret D."Sandy" Lewis has applied to replace Ben Merrill, who resigned last month.

The city is accepting applications until 10 a.m.onFriday.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 7, 1965 Plans for a multi-purpose recreation center that would improve the fairgrounds and double the size of the Baker CommunityCenter grounds have been taken underadvisement by the Baker County Court.

The project, which is estimated to cost $881,788 including $172,900 for engineering and other service fees, would provide for competitive and spectator sports, exhibits, shows and social activities.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 8, 1990 A few isolated cases of head lice are reported in some Baker City elementary schools.

Two confirmed cases were reported at Brooklyn School, and the one case at South Baker were considered "nor-

rna" Beth Baggerly, Baker County health nurse, said the head lice outbreak is not significant.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 7, 2005 If things look out of whack Monday at Baker High School, just remember it's the second week of October.

And that means it's time for homecoming activities, including dress-up days. As the week begins, students will don their wackiest, tackiest apparel for "WackyTacky Day." They will be unrecognizable as themselves on Tuesday, but hopefully their portrayals of their favorite celebrities will shine through on "Celebrity Day." ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 8, 2014 Baker City's grocery business could change, at least in terms of store ownership, if federal regulators approve the acquisition of Safeway stores by a company that already owns Albertsons stores.

Baker City's grocery trade is dominated by those two stores, which face each other across East Campbell Street near the freeway.

If the proposed merger goes through — it was announcedinMarch,and Safeway shareholdersendorsed the deal in late July — a single company, Cerberus Capital, would own both of those stores.

Continued from Page1A Lohner said that's why his focus is on the detailed statistics kept by the Baker City Police Department rather than the FBI's numbers. The FBI statistics are compiled after the Baker City numbers are sent to the county dispatch center and then to the state.

For example, Lohner points to the Baker City Police Department's "summary of incidents served" in its 2014 annual report. The reportshows the police were dispatchedtojust 11reports of aggravated assault, which includes crimes of first- and second-degree assault. iThe city only took reports on seven of those calls, Lohner

name Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

When a shooting like the one in Roseburg happens, people want answers. One proposal is: Don't name shooters. But it's a Hawed answer.

Some law enforcement oKcials, including Douglas County Sherif John Hanlin, have adopted a policy of not naming shooters. The media are encouraged not to name them or focus on their lives. The hope is it may limit the attention shooters get and provide less inspiration for others.

Of course, some shooters seek notoriety. A torrenting site account associated with the Roseburg gunman posted this aker a shooting in Virginia: "I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are."

Media attention can also be riveted with the shooter rather than those who died or anyone who tried to stop the gunman.

But if the no-names policy is to be adopted, when should criminals or alleged criminals be named? If they are charged with driving under the inHuence?

If they are charged with murder? If they are still at large? If they shoot more than one person? Should law enforcement just withhold the information?

That's a scary thought. Or should the media not printorbroadcast it?

A training program at Texas State University promotes this idea of'Don't Name Them." It says "it's simple but effective." But there is actually no proof it is effective.

There are reasons to name the shooter and to explore his background. It helps the public understand what happened as well as warning signs. Just imagine the rumors and speculation that would circulate if the person was never identified.

Shooters are driven by a number of factors, according to researchers: notoriety, mental illness, anger, revenge and fear. What researchers can't answer is how exactly mass killings could be stopped. Many things might help. Improved treatment of mental illness. Fewer rounds in magazines. Well-balanced media coverage. Those are better answers.

Itisrarethatrefugees are welcomed with open arms. Yet in parts of Europe, they are literally being greeted with applause. Though Europe's response to the plightofthe Middle East' sbeleaguered masses may be heartwarming, it is also dangerously naive. Among the migrants are inevitably members of Islamic State and al-Qaida. If Europe wants to help innocent victims, it should focus on extirpating the jihadist groups that are directly responsible for the exodus we are witnessing.

Not since World War II has Europe seen such a stark population shift.

Germany is preparing to house a staggering800,000 refugeesfrom Syria and elsewhere this year, a decision that will surely alter the country's very character.

Other nations have also pledged refuge for significant numbers, and they will also inevitably face enormous integration challenges.

Meanwhile, Hungary and Slovakia have been vilified by many for rebelling against taking in thousands of refugees.

GUEST EDITORIAL

We need a national discussion about guns in our socie Editorial from The (La Grande) Observer: Well, here we are again.

Another town. Another mass shooting.

And, like clockwork, another collective howl from two sides of the same American fence regarding gun control.

It is high time for a reasoned, methodical national discussion regarding the role of guns in our society. At first glance, the discussion should be an easy one, but in this day and age, when it comes to mass shootings and guns, the simplest thing is difficult.

The first thing that needs to be settled is the fact is that the right to keep and bear arms is a sacred element to the Constitution. It is not a right buried in the text of that renowned document but the secondnot third, or fifth or eighth — point outlined

in the Constitution. The Supreme Court in the past few years upheld the jurisdiction of Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms is a philosophy that runs through the very heart of our society. That right isn't going to go away, nor should it.

After every single mass shooting, the vocal outcry — from as high up as the Oval Office — reverberates across the nation to enact tougher gun laws, even though there many strict gun mandates on the books in individual states, to eradicate such incidents.

It is a pleasant thought to many to rid the country of firearms and, therefore, end mass slaughters like the one that occurred in Roseburg last week. The sad truth, though, is that philosophy is — at worstnaiveand atbestcompletely disconnected from reality. In short, instituting a mandate

that forces the hand-over the millions of weapons in this nation will never work and, quite likely, ignite the kind of internecine warfare not seen since the Civil War. It just isn't realistic. It is an easy answer. Yet anymore, that is the path America seems to prefer. The easiest path, the easy answer.

Take away all the guns, the theory goes, and mass shootings will disappear. Maybe.

Yet we can't just stand by and continue to allow incidents like the one in Roseburg.

For those who advocate stricter gun control, those who adhere to that easy answer, there are no other options. On the other side of the fence are those who believe any compromise on the right to keep and bear arms is tantamount to giving up a right guaranteed by the Constitution.

Often in cases such as this, in the fallout from the horrific murder of so many inno-

centvictims, factsbecome distorted.What is interesting to note is that in the past confirmed criminal backgrounds and verified mental health issues did not stop at least eight individuals from acquiring weapons and then igniting a mass shooting event.

In short, in many of the cases, the system already in place to stop unstable individuals from acquiring weapons failed.

We need a national dialogue on this issue that isn't consumed with red-hot rhetoric, false facts and pie-in-the-sky theories about abolishing guns that borders on nonsense.

We need real leadership from politicians and activists, and from the public.

W e are great a nation that has solved countless challenges. Why does this problem continue to evade our collective ability to reach a solution?

CANYON CREEIj' ,COMPLEX FIRE IN GRANT COUNTY

By Dylan J. Darling WesCom News Service

CANYON CITY — Driving up Canyon Creek, south of John Day toward Burns, the devastationisdramatic.

The Canyon Creek Complex Fire tore through this canyon in mid-August, leaving the woods and community forever changed.

"This was so awesome in here before this," Grant County Judge Scott Myers said Sept. 29 as he drove his pickup along U.S. Highway 395 through the canyon. For about 8 miles the highway cuts through where the wildfire burned and destroyed homes. Around each turn comes a shocking sight, remnants of once proud homes or homes that were somehow spared from the flames.

The Canyon Creek Complex Fire destroyed 43 homes, 39 in the canyon in a massiveflare-up on Aug. 14. Another side of the fire blew up more than a week later, destroying another four homes. Now those who lost homes are weighing whether to stay and rebuild or leave the canyon and live elsewhere. Concerns about potential flooding factor into the difficult decision.

The destruction is some of the worst in Oregon history.

By comparison, the Awbrey Hall Fire in Bend destroyed 22 homes in 1990 and the Skeleton Fire, also in Bend, destroyed 19 homes in 1996.

The two Bend blazes had stood as the worst in terms ofhomes lost in the state's modern history until the Canyon Creek Complex, Brian Ballou, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Forestry, wrote in an email.

Back in 1936 a wildfire that likely started in smoldering logging slash spread into Bandon, on the Oregon Coast, he wrote, burning nearly every structure in town and killing 11 people.

The small size of Canyon City, the closest town to most of the homes lost to the Canyon Creek Complex Fire, amplifies the impact of the fire. A mining boomtown in the 1800s and still the Grant County seat, Canyon City has about 700 residents.

Three times in its history Canyon City has had to rebuild from disastrous fire, in 1870, 1898 and 1937, according to the Blue Mountain Eagle, John Day's weekly newspaper. Those firesburned through the town's business district. The Canyon Creek Complex Fire leveledhomes scattered south of town in the scenic canyon.

For the people who lost homes, barns and more to the Canyon Creek Complex Fire, the past seven weeks have beena time to see what they can salvage and brace for wintry weather ahead. The same canyon that funneled the firestorm could churn with floodwaters this fall and winter, a worry also for people living along Canyon Creek whose homes did not burn. eWe are preparing for the next big rain, that is for sure," said Myers, the rural county's top elected offi cial. eWe have a lot ofblack dirt with nothing holding it."

A signature silver barn used to tell people passing by on Highway 395 that they were at Deer Creek on the Berry Creek Ranch. The historic barn is gone, and that's just the beginning of the damage atthe 400-acre ranch.

The fire also destroyed fence line and timber, said Gordon Larson, 51, a retired Oregon State Police commander who owns the ranch with his family. He's lived there since 1996 and since retiring in 2014 had looked forward to spending more time working on the land.

"I'm not giving up on John Day," Larson said."I'm not giving up on this canyon. I'm not giving up on ranching."

One of his neighbors is Judi Stimac, 72, who has lived in the canyon since 1999. Her house also remains standing, but she lost a barn, workshop and log cabin. The fire also destroyed her "campsite," a spot where she and her partner, Mike Nault, 71, would host barbecues for friends and family.

The campsite was up the hill from her home, tucked into the woods they held dear. During a walk around the property Nault looked up at blackened snags lining a rldge. ''We will never live long enough to see the tress (like they were)," he said."They grow real slow."

The couple were doubly affected by the fire. Nault has a home on Pine Creek, near where the second group ofhomes were lost to the Canyon Creek Complex Fire.

His house stands, but flames took his water system and other crucial equipment for his off-the-grid home.

Closer to Canyon City, Eva Harris, 73, is among the people who counts herself lucky. She lost her old horse barn and a storage building, but not her home of 45 years.

By Howie Rumberg AP BaseballWnter

NEW YORK — A year ago, no one could've pictured this.

Yet here they were, Dallas Keuchel and the Houston Astros, soaking in champagne, m errily posingfor avictory shot on the mound at Yankee Stadium.

After all that losing, this was one October win to remember.

Pitching on three days'rest for the first time in his career, Keuchel baflled New York for six innings of three-hit ball.

Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez homered, and the Astros beat the Yankees 3-0 Tuesday night in the American League wild-card game.

"Nobody really gave us anything at the start of the year. And I don't think anybody gave us a shot at the end of the year," said Keuchel, the AL's only 20-game winner.

The orange-clad Astros, who secured their spot in this winner-take-all game on the lastday oftheregular season, advanced to the Division Series against the defending AL champion Royals starting Thursday night in Kansas City.

Aggressive from the start in their initial playofFappearance as an AL club — and first since being swept by the White Sox in the 2005 World Series — the Astros came out swinging against Masahiro Tanaka in front of a revvedup Bronx crowd.

Ellsbury sits most of game NEWYORK (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury sat the bench for most of his first postseason game after signing a $153 million contract with the New YorkYankees. When he finally got in, he saw three pitches at the plate and one inning in center field.

Brett Gardner, who took Ellsbury's spot in center field and atop the batting order, struck out three times again by left-hander Dallas Keuchel in the Yankees' 3-0 loss in Tuesday night's AL wild-card game. New York had just three hits, all singles.

"Does Jake hit three home runs and it's 3-3?" manager Joe Girardi wondered. "I don't know, but we didn't solve Keuchel the whole year."

Keuchel was 3-0 against the Yankees in 2014, allowing 11 singles and a double in 22 scoreless innings.

He was removed after six innings, and Ellsbury pinch hit and popped out against Willie Harris in the eighth. Ellsbury, the former Madras and Oregon State star, remained in for the ninth inning as the Yankees' playoff run ended shortly after it began.

SEATTLE — Kam Chancellor saw the ball exposed and threw a punch.

By knocking the ball free from Calvin Johnson, Chancellor may have created a wild swing in where the Seattle Seahawks will finish this season and provided another bit of officiating controversy on a Monday night in Seattle.

"It's good to have Kam back. To have him make that play was pretty cool," Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said.

Chancellor punched the ball free as Johnson was about to score, the saving play in Seattle's 13-10 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night. With Detroit on the verge of capping a 91-yard drive with the go-ahead touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining, Chancellor came from the side and punched the ball from Johnson's arm as he was being tackled by Earl Thomas. It bounded into the end zone where it was guided over the back line by K.J. Wright for a touchback, making it Seattle's ball at the 20.

It created a massive swing in the standings. Instead of both Seattle and Detroit sitting at 1-3 — assuming the Lions scored and held on — the Seahawks evened their recordat2-2while Detroitsitsat0-4 forthe fi rsttim e since 2010.

But, as is the case with Monday night games in Seattle and specifically that end zone, officiating controversy followed. Wright should have been called for an illegal bat for hitting the ball out of the end zone, NFL VP of OfFiciating Dean Blandino told NFL Network. The penalty would have given theballback toDetroitatthe Seattle 1.

No flags were thrown, and on the ensuing possession, Russell Wilson found Jermaine Kearse for 50 yards on third down. With Detroit out of timeouts, the Seahawks ran ofFthe final seconds.

'The back judge was on the play and in his judgment, he didn't feel it was an overt act so he didn't throw the flag," Blandino said."In looking at the replays, it looked like a bat so the enforcement would be basically we would go back to the spot of the fumble and Detroit would keep the football."

The non-call came in the same end zone where Golden Tate caught his infamous "Fail Mary" when Seattle beat Green Bayon a Monday night threeyearsago.

"It's a very thin line — super thin line — between wins and losses in this league," Johnson said.

Here's what else to know from Seattle's 10th straight win on Monday nights:

PROTECT WILSON plateappearances afterm issing nearly two weeks with a strained chest muscle in midSeptember, connected on the first offering of the fourth.

'That really settled me down, and that's who we are," Keuchel said.'We hit a lot ofhome runs, pitch well and play defense."

AL hits leader Jose Altuve had an RBI single ofFAll-Star reliever Dellin Betances in the seventh.

Reliever Tony Sipp walked one, and Will Harris and Luke Gregerson were each perfect for an inning to finish the three-hitter. The boos from the 50,113 stunned fans in the crowd grew with each out asGregerson closed for a save.

The Astros raced to an area between first and second after Brian McCann grounded out to end it and jumped up and down in a big scrum. As he was coming ofFthe field, Keuchel pumped his fists toward a group of cheering Astros supporters in orange shirts — a few in big black beards — behind the visiting dugout.

Itwas acelebration a few years in the making, a raucous 30-minute party in the visiting clubhouse that carried onto the field. The Astros averaged104 lossesin their previous four seasons.

"Now we get to go to Kansas City. It's going to be some grind-it-out baseball," Rasmus said.

Seattle' sofFensive line continuesto be a sievefor opposing defenses.

Wilson was sacked six times by Detroit and has been sacked 18 times this season, tied for the most in the NFL. Not all ofthe sacksare on the ofFensive line,butthere are m ajorconcerns about passprotection and being able to create openings in the run game.

NOWHERE TO RUN Detroit continued to get little done on the ground. The Lions finished with 53 yards rushing on 18 carries, led by the 33 yards of Ameer Abdullah. Detroit's longest run play was 9 yards, and the Lions have been held to fewer than 70 yards rushing as a team in every game this season.

IN3URY BUG There were significant injuries for both sides. Detroit lost tight end Eric Ebron 4neel and defensive tackles Haloti Ngata (calf) and ~ Wal k er (leg) to injuries.

Caldwell said the injury to Walker, who was taken ofFthe field on a cart, was significant. Seattle lost running back Fred Jackson to a sprained ankle and nickel cornerback Marcus Burley broke his thumb.

the job.

Continued from Page1A In advanceoftheirtrip to the site Friday, the two adults trained students on safetyrulesdesigned to prevent injury.

Both young men who joined the project Friday said theywere eager to participateinthe efFort.

"It's a good class," said Caistyn Brooks, as he worked totearthesturdy old boards away from the framing of a storage shed."I like helping the environment."

Tucker Foersterling, another member of this year's 14-student class, agreed.

"It sounded fun and I had nothing going on today," Forersterling said of his decision to join Friday's work party.

Recruiting help on a Friday is difficult, Alameda said. Other students were called away with sports and otheractivitieson theirday ofFfromclasses.

During their training, the students learned about the properprotective equipment needed to keep them safe.

The two 14-year-olds who worked on the project Friday donned hard hats, face masks and eye protection.

"Masks and eye protection are key,"Aguirre said."There is 100 years worth of dust and grime accumulated on these boards."

The boys also used lessons from Aguirre's longtime experience as a firefighter, "look up, look down and look around," before swinging boards or moving into the path of a swinging board.

And they came wearing boots

Aguirre, who is a finish carpenter by trade, was fascinated by the soundness of the buildings, which he attributed to the high quality lumber cut from the oldgrowth trees that were routinely harvested in the 1920s.

And the solid framing used to put the buildings together.

"These are amazing structures," he said."They've lastedthe testoftim e."

Aguirre alsopointed out the old newspapers stuffed between the framework and the sawdust used to insulate the building before the exterior boards were nailed on. r We found old newspaper that says weird stufFon it," Brooks said.

For example, Aguirre said, one ofthevintage 1927 newspapersadvertised silk stockingsfor 3 cents.

Aguirre and Alameda hope to preserve some ofthe artifacts found atthe site and in the old buildings. They will offer them to the Baker County Historical Society and the Baker Heritage Museum. r We're looking at what we could do as a gesture for Walter and Ava iOstwald, who donated the property to the school district),"Alameda sald.

In addition to the old newspapers, the workers have discovered a collection of "National Geographic" magazines from the 1950s and a box filled with quotes from actor, humorist and social commentator Will Rogers, who was famous worldwide in the 1920s and '30s.

Megan Alameda spearheads the Brownfield Project.

Members of Alameda's classhave continued tovisit the machine shop site this week as employees from Steve Ritch Environmental used heavy equipment to knock down the remaining structures that required their expertise to remove. Elkhorn Drilling also will be involved in theproject.

Prior to beginning the job, a hazardous building survey was completed, Alameda sald. r We wanted to make sure itwas safe,"she said.

The presence oflead and asbestosfound in some areas made them ofFlimits for anyone but the specialists.

The Ostwald Committee, which included Baker School District administrators, Alameda and members oflastyear'sclass,aw arded the cleanup contract to Amec Foster Wheeler's Portland office. The firm is hiring local companies to help as the project continues and is committed to working with the students as well, Alameda sald.

Megan Alameda rummages through leftover machine shop contents Monday. She said the "hot spot" on the dirt floor, the dark, chemicalstained area to the right of the center post, will have to be deeply excavated for cleanup.

School District received grant for clean up The Ostwald Machine Shop was built in 1924, according to Baker County Assessor's Office records.

During the next 76 years, the shop's dirt floor and the surrounding land absorbed grease and oil and other contaminants before Walter Ostwald closed the business and retired in 2000.

Walter died in 2009 and his wife, Eva, a longtime Baker High School business teacher, died in 1979.

The couple left the Baker School District a cash gift for student scholarships and donated the.2-acre machine shop site as well.

The gift was welcomed, but when the school district went to sell the property, an environmental inspection revealed the contamination of the grounds and a ground-water well on the property.

The cleanup cost would have been prohibitive for a private buyer, but as a

public entity the school district was eligible for brownfield cleanup money through the state.

The district was awarded a two-year, $200,000 grant for the work, which is expected to cost less than $100,000.

Alameda said other grants are being sought in the hope of sustaining the class, which would work to clean up the other 80-some brownfield sites in Baker City.

Alameda and a group of her students attended the 2014 Oregon Brownfields Conference in Salem in May of last year.

And Alameda spoke about the project at the 2015 national conference in Chicago in September.

The program is gaining widespread attention for its involvement of students at all levels, Alameda said.

"This is the only high school doing brownfields at the level that the students are responsible for the project," she said.

Continued~om Page 3A Parents may also use guns to bond with a mentally troubled, isolated child who is obsessed with weapons and violence, he said.

Laurel Harper's online postings don'tindicate she knew her son had violent tendencies, butit is dear she relished her weapons.

Investigators found eight guns in the apartment she shared with her son near the North Umpqua River and another six at the school where he killed eight students and a professor before killirg himself last week.

She wrote enthusiastically about assault rifles and pistols and derided gun-control efforts in'lame states"on Yahoo! Answers using an account that is linked to an email address associated with her.

"I keep two full mags in my Glock case," she wrote in a three-yearold posting."No one will be'dropping'by my house uninvited."

Harper could notbe located for comment.

The nurse, who moved to rural Oregon with her son from the tus Angeles area two years ago, speaks franklyin the postings about her son's Asperger' ssyndrome.Investigators said she told them he had mental health issues.

Social profiles linked to her son suggested he tracked other mass shootings. Neighbors in the Los Angeles-area suburb of Torrance, where the mother and son lived before moving to Oregon, recalled him as uncommunicative, having child-like tantrums.

After wild weekon Wall Street, where now7 From Jan. 1, 2015, through Aug. 19, 2015, the Standard & Poors 500 Index iS&Pl closed almost exactly where it opened on Jan. 1, according to Free Stock Charts iwwwfreestockcharts.coml.

The following week the S&P 500 fell more than 10 percent in just four days iwwwfreestockcharts.coml. After such a crazy week, the question becomes, where do we go from here? Was thatitor is this the beginning of a larger downturn?

Since 1940, there were 10 other times when stocks fellatleast10percent over a four-day period. Though the S& P 500 sometimes struggled to move up immediately after a decline, the measure of 500 large U.S. companies was up 5.2 percenton average after 50 trading days and averaged a whopping 20.1-percent rise within 250 trading days. iSource: Charles Schwabl. The recent decline may be different because the Index's average price moved below or crossed the 200-day Simple Moving Average of company prices. According to William DeShurko:"Historically, really big bear markets are identified by crossing the

200 Simple Moving Average iSMAl when the SMA is in a downward slope."

• Trans-Pacific Partnership, which involves the U.S. and 11 other countries, will face opposition in Congress, elsewhere

By Jayson Jacoby Wescom News Service

A 12-country international trade deal that is likely to be a major issue in the 2016 presidential campaign could be awindfallforfarmers and ranchers in Northeastern Oregon.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would have to be approved by Congress to take effect, involves the U.S. and 11 other countries, mainly in Asia and South America.

The agreement, which would phase out tariffs on

many products, has been in negotiations for six years.

President Barack Obama supports the deal, which includes major U.S. trading partners such as Japan, Mexico, Singapore and Malaysia.

The U.S. already has trade deals with some of those countries; the Trans-Pacific Partnership would expand on those.

"Any time we can expand the market it helps," said Ron Rowan, director of customer development for Beef Northwest,acattle-feedingbusiness

based in North Powder.

"The cattle industry is dependent on the global market, and we are in a good position in Oregon to expand exportsto thatpartofthe world."

The deal does not include China, but proponents, including U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-ore., argue that the TransPacific Partnership would put pressure on China to be more receptiveto American exports, including beef and wheat.

Viva Las Vegas, or stay home?

DEAR KEN: Around this time of the year we have a company retreat.We review how the year has gone, work to setgoalsfornextyear and try todosome fun stuffas a team.

Durirg the recession we stayed local butit hasbeen agoodyear and my people haveworked hard, so I want to reward their loyalty and results by going out oftown. WhenI brought this topic up at the last mancgement meeting, everyone told me they wanted to go to Las Vegas.

I'm not opposed to goirg there because I understand the attraction but I don't wantit to be one big party on the company (meaning my) dime.

Care to weigh in?

— I'ATD. DEAR PAT: It's no surprise that Las Vegas is a place where your people want to go; the place is a playground for adults. From your budget perspective, keep in mind that sleeping and meetingrooms aregenerally reasonable, airplane flights are frequent and not over the top expensive, and many different types of team building activities are available.

During my tenure in Corporate America and as a CEO I have participated,produced and facilitated many retreats for employees and clients. The question that has to be answered is: What is the purpose for having this meeting and what are the goals ideliv-

erablesl?

You've been pretty clear about your purpose, which is to reward your people.

You wish to thank them for their efforts, for sticking with you as an employer and for the financial and other results they have generated.

But the protein question is when the meeting is over, what are the tangible results you want to have?

Needcashdutforgotvour HEALTH NOTIFICATION dedilcardPNewlechnologv will givevouaccesstoAIM

By Paul Gores Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — You're out of town and realize you don't have your debit card, and need cash now.

With new technology from Fiserv Inc. that's expected to hit the market next year, you'd still be able to have access to an ATM. Here's how: You call your bank or credit union, which uses its security checks to confirm your identity. You're given an 11-digit code by the financial institution, which then transfers you to a system thatprovides a personal identification number.

When you get to the automated teller machine, insteadofinserting a card, you touch a button on the screenand enter the 11-digit number, then your PIN. "And now you have access to your account, just as if you had your regular plastic," said David Keenan, seniorvice president of network solutions for Fiserv, which is based in suburban Milwaukee and provides technology for the financial services industry.

Fiserv's new CardFree Cash technology has been successfull y tested ata large Florida credit union and is expectedtobecome more widely available in 2016.

It's another step in the effort by financial institutionstoprovide convenience as they encourage customers to use ATMs for routine transactions.

However, it's also likely another step toward the eventualfade ofcard usage at ATMs, industry experts say.

With a recent rash of "skimming" incidents in southeast Wisconsin illustrating how easily bold thieves can hijack personal account information at ATMs that use cards with m agnetic stripes,the arrival of cardless ATMs would likely be welcomed by many.

But, even with advances like Fiserv's, no one is saying cards are going to disappear in the near term.

"Therearea lotofpeople who wish cards would go away entirely because of stolencreditcards and skimming devices and that kind of stufK But habits are a hard thing to change," said bank technology expert Bob Meara, senior analyst with Celent LLC. Keenan also said the disappearanceofdebitcards is not on the short-term horizon.

ATM fees continue to rise If you have an unquenchable thirst for beer but your billfold is empty, think twice before using that ATM in the corner of the bar — it might end up costing you more than your drink.

Getting your hands on your cash hasnever been so expensive, according to a Bankrate.com survey that found the national average out-of-networkATM fee has risen to $4.52, marking the ninth year in a row thatATM fees have increased. Fees are up 21 percent over the last five years alone.

The good news? According to Bankrate's chief financial analyst Greg McBride, the fees are going up because most bank customers have wisened up to the "completely avoidable" charges for using another bank's ATM. The average debit card user withdraws cash fromATMs just twice a month, down significantly from a decade ago, thanks to increased availability of cash back services at supermarkets and drugstores and electronic alternatives to cash, according to a recent study by consulting firm Oliver Wyman.

"People are getting smarter aboutATM fees" and are seeking out free ATMs run by their own banks when theydo need cash,said M cBride."The feesaregoingup because, with fewer users to spread their costs over, ATM owners have to charge more."

McBride called using out-of-networkATMs "the type of sloppy financial habit that will send you to the poorhouse."

Planning ahead and using cellphone apps to find nearby in-networkATMs makes it easy to avoid the charges, he said.

Overdraft fees also are on the rise, Bankrate said. The national average is up to $33.07.

Kim Janssen,Chicago Tribune

"I don't see this assomething that is a full-on replacement," Keenan said of CardFree Cash. "There's just no way. You use your card for so many things, including point of sale. But I think it's a very valuable way to augment the card."

More imminent in the financial card world is growing numbers of banks and credit unions issuing cards that contain chips rather than magnetic stripes, making itharder forthieves to stealinformation and create bogus clone cards.

However, looking further down the road, smartphones — ratherthan plasticcards of anytype — might end up being the way most consumers gain access to ATMs. "I think we're headed toward using the mobile phone a lot more often," said Avivah Litan, a cyber security expert with the research and advisory firm Gartner.

Some banks already are encouraging smartphone use at ATMs. Last spring, BMO Harris Bank introduced its Mobile Cash technology, which allows customers to withdraw money using their smartphones instead of cards.

With that technology, a BMO Harris customer downloads the digital banking app, which includes

an option for Mobile Cash.

When the customer signs in, the app lets the customer put in the amount he or she wants to withdraw. It will store that info until the customer gets to the ATM. At the ATM, the customer touches the Mobile Cash option on the video screen. A quick response code appears on the screen. The customer holds the smartphone close enough to let the phone's camera scanthe code.If there's a match between app and QR for the customer's account, the requested amount of cash is dispensed.

There is no PIN entry or card swipe involved.

Over time, Litan said there will be more ATMs responding to smartphones than plasti ccards.

"Definitely," she said."The cardisjusta place to puta chip, right? So is the phone.

So we're moving from mag stripephysicalcards to chip physical cards, but the phone already has chips in it."

In the future, smartphone access to ATMs will save financial institutions the expense of issuing cards — and replacing them if breaches occur — and use more-secure authenticators, such as a customer's fingerprint rather than a PIN, she sard.

Egg McMuffin for lunch?

McD's serving breakfast all day

By Greg Trotter Chicago Tnbune

CHICAGO — Starting Tuesday, red-blooded Americans were able to buy McDonald's breakfast throughout the day and night.

You want pancakes for dinner? Done.

Afternoon Egg McMuSn? Nothing can stop you now.

While all-day breakfast was available early in some locations, its long-awaited official rollout nationwide was intended to help boost sales for the slumping fast-food giant. Approved by franchisee leadership last month, the move is perhaps the highest-profile component yet revealed of CEO Steve Easterbrook'splan toreinvigorate the Chicago-area company.

Time will tell if the hype translates into significant improvement in sales or profits for the Golden Arches, which has struggled in recent years as more consumers opt for fast-casual options like Chipotle and Panera Bread.

But there's this: Americans' appetite for quickbreakfastfoodsisgrowing,according to research.

Year-overyear,breakfastvisitsgrew by 5 percent in the 12 months that ended in June, according to a study released Monday by market research firm NPD Group. By comparison, lunch visits were up 1 percent and dinner visits were flat.

Most of those breakfastgainswere made at quick-service restaurants, like McDonald's, according to NPD. Sales of grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches have been growing, but so have other"not-so-portable"foods like pancakes.

Marijuana is weighed and packaged during a midnight opening for the first day of recreational sales at Dr. Jolly's Dispensary in Bend.

Bendpotstores reportdrisksales

By Ted Shorack WesCom News Service

Medical marijuana dispensaries remained busy throughout the weekend after opening their doors for recreational sales Thursday.

Many of the dispensaries opened at the stroke of midnight Thursday and were greeted with long lines. Those lines continued the following three days, and thousands of customers found their way to a dispensary. Bend has the most dispensaries in Central Oregon, with 16 locations.

"It was amazing," Ben Hebert, owner of Dr. Jolly's on SE Third Street, said Sunday.'We were totally busy all the time. I think we had a lot ofhappy people comingout ofhere."

Aviv Hadar, co-founder of Oregrown Industries, which has a dispensary on NW Wall Street, said sales reached

$55,000 on the first day alone.

Hadar said as many as 2,000 people shopped at the dispensary on the first day. That business continued over the weekend with the First Friday Art Walk and the Bend Fall Festival.

Recreational marijuana became legal July 1 after voters passed Measure 91 in November. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission won't be issuing licenses for marijuana-relatedbusinesses producing and selling recreational pot until next year.

The Legislature passed a bill allowing for marijuana to be sold recreationally through dispensaries in the interim.

The bustl ing dispensariesand saleofrecreational pot did not cause headaches for local law enforcement over the weekend.

"I'm not aware of any instances related to the marijuana change," Bend Police Sgt. Tom Pine said Sunday.

Do you want a stronger, more unified team? Do you want clarity of company purpose, mission, and vision? Do you want everyone to be clear about their role and responsibilities in execution, support, growth and service?

Perhaps you could challenge your management team to answering the question, without your input, of: what does a successful meeting in Las Vegaslook like as we depart and head home?

This will keep the team focused on what issues are at hand, address your concern that the managers present will be having one big, non-stop party and will reinforce the business nature of the trip.

by Stella Wilder THURSDAY, OCTOBER8, 2015 YOUR 8ikrHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you know how to rise to any occasion -- but this is especially true when you are under pressure, under the gun or under scrutiny from others. You know how to put your best foot forward, and this is likely to be your greatest strength in both personal affairsand professional endeavors. Indeed, you of ten seem most athome when thingsare ' up in theair, uncertain ordifficult. You maintain a calm exterior and seem quite unflappable at times when others are letting circumstances get the better of them. You are clever, quick-thinking and always able to see more thanone side ofan issue.You can persuade others of almost anything; but by others, you are persuaded ofvery little!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — There's no getting around the fact that you'll be expected to do things the hard way. Give others what they want, and you will be rewarded.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama seemed to call Hillary Rodham Clinton's idea of a no-fly zone in Syria"half-baked." Clinton describedthe president'sim migration strategy as "harsh and aggressive."And as Obama tries to rally Democrats around the chief economicproposalofhissecond term,the party'spresidential front-runner stayed conspicuously silent.

As Clinton looks for ways to distinguish her ideas from those of her former boss, the relationship between the man in the White House and the woman who hopes to replace him has grown increasingly complicated.

No issue presents more potential for friction than trade.

For months, Clinton has resisted weighing in on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the sweeping trade deal that has divided the Democratic base. The completion of the negotiations this week m eans she'l lsoon be forced to choose between one of the top legacy items ofher former boss or labor unions, environmentalists and other liberal constituenciesthatoppose the deal.

Clinton promises to "definitely have a position soon."

"I'm going to be diving into that tonight. I'm going to be talking to people. They're getting me all the information they can gather so I can make a timely decision," Clinton said Tuesday as she toured a farmer's market in Davenport, Iowa.

The awkward dynamic isn't a surprise: Both Clinton's campaign and the Obama administration have always said the time would come when the candidate would outline her own policies and deliver criticisms, both implied and direct, of the president.

"I amnotrunning form y husband's third term or President Obama's third term," Clinton told voters in Davenport, repeating an oft-used line fiom her stump speech."I'm running for my first term."

While she frequently commends the president, Clinton has been offering critiques of his policies more and more.

Last month, she came out against the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast, while the administration remains undecided. In August, she said Obama'sdecision to approve offshore drilling in the Arctic wasn't"worth the risk" to the environment. And she's subtly resurrected her 2008

primary attack of Obama's approach to world affairs, taking a more hawkish stance toward Russia, Syria and Iran.

On both immigration and gun control, she's vowed to use her executive power to do more than the president, implying that Obama's actions have not gone quite farenough.

"I'm not going to be breaking up families. And I think thatisoneofthe differences," she saidofObama's deportation policy earlier this week.

"But I totally understand why the Obama administration felt as though they did what they did under the circumstances."

Campaign veterans in the White House say the impact of Clinton's one-upping is minor and dismiss some of Clinton's proposals as routine campaign fodder. Candidates use policy plans to declare their priorities. Worries over practical implementation come later.
