Bill Harvey will replace Fred Warner Jr. as chairman of the Baker County Board of Commissioners in January. This outcome was semi-oficialeven beforevoteswere f tallied Tuesday. Harvey, having beaten Warner by 500 votes in the

Republican primaryinMay, was the only candidate listed on the ballot. But voters can always Harvey choose to write in a different person, and Warner, although he didn't campaign this fall, said

publicly that he would accept another term were he elected as a write-in candidate. But the gap between Harvey and the total write-in votes was so large — more than 3,000 votes — that CountyClerkTami Green said this morning she will not spend the estimated

A project to install a high-density plastic liner at Baker Sanitary Service's landfill should be partially finished this week and entirely done by the end of the year. "Hopefully," said David Henry, Baker Sanitary president. The project, which will cost around $1 million, complies with a federal requirement for landfills, Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Subtitle D, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's website, includes these goals: • Promote environmentally sound disposal methods

• Maximize the reuse of recoverable resources • Foster resource conservation Henry said workers are installing the liner over a six-acre expansion of the landfill which first had to be preparedwith a proper slopeto ensure drainage. "Thisisprobably thebiggestproject Baker Sanitary has done," Henry sald. The simple explanation is that the liner keeps water contaminated by trash fiom seeping into the ground. 'You have to cover every square inch," Henry said. Baker Sanitary employees and Orr Excavating completed the prep work, and an outside company is installing

the liner this week. The first step was to cover the existing compacted trash with three feet of dirt. Then the first layer ofliner is installed, which is extra-absorbent in case the waterprooflayer is punctured. The middle layer is the waterproof liner, which is V8 inch thick. It is installed in wide strips that are heat welded together. The final layer is a type of felt, which will be covered by 12 inches of rock and 12 inches of dirt. When all is said and done — and triple inspected — Baker Sanitary can begin filling the new area with trash.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Nov. 5, 1964 An order requesting an injunction be issued blocking Pine-Eagle School District 61 from advertising for the sale of bonds should be denied, Pendleton Circuit Court Judge William W. Wells said today. JudgeWells, in a memorandum opinion filed with the county clerk at Baker this morning, said it is apparent "that the extraordinary remedy now requested (temporary injunction) is not necessary to protect the plaintiffs from irreparable injury." 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Nov. 6, 1989 The Granite community in Grant County is getting its electric power from a totally new source. Oregon Trail Electric Co-op crews completed installation last week of a diesel generator to produce 3-phase, 480-volt power. The generator is online because the old line serving Granite was de-energized in preparation for construction of a new line scheduled to be completed next year. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Nov. 5, 2004 A crowd of about 40 people almost unanimously told a pair of consultants Thursday they don't want an off-highway vehicle park built on the King Ranch property north of Unity Reservoir. Some worried about what they call the1 percent of inconsiderate all-terrain vehicle riders who trespass on private property and damage buildings. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Nov. 13, 2013 Baker, Wallowa and Malheur counties were unsuccessful in their attempt to be chosen as one of the state's first early learning hubs in a one-year pilot project. Oregon's 17-member Early Learning Council metTuesday at Portland State University to consider applications from community partnerships around the state. The council voted to accept Marion County's application unconditionally. Five others also were chosen pending further contract negotiations.

s ores If you want proof that Baker City needs two grocery stores, City Manager Mike Kee suggests you drive down East Campbell Street on any weekday evening and have a look at the parking lots for the Albertsons and Safeway stores. "Both parking lots are full," Kee said. Kee's point is well taken. So is his decision to co-sign a letter written by Fred Warner Jr., chairman of the Baker County Board of Commissioners, dealing with the proposed merger of Albertsons and Safeway. Warner and Kee sent the letter to Oregon's U.S. senators, Ron Wyden and JeA'Merkley,and to Rep.

am ai

Greg Walden. The concern, Kee and Warner wrote, is that the

Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is studying the potential antitrust issues of the proposed merger, could require Cerberus Capital, the company that would own both grocery chains, to sell one of the two Baker City stores so as to avoid having a single company control the local grocery market. That wouldn't cause a major problem for local residents so long as the FTC orders Cerberus to do what Warner and Kee suggest in their letter to the Oregon legislators: ''We believe that if the decision is made to divest one of the stores in Baker City, that the company should be required to sell the remaining store to another grocer." We agree wholeheartedly. But we also think we can do more locally than just ask for help from our representatives in Congress. If the FTC does mandate that Cerberus sell one of the Baker City stores, as professor Paul Rogers at the Southern Methodist University law school in Texas said is quite plausible, then it would behoove local government ofIicials and residents to express their opinions about which grocery store would be the best replacement. This isn't to suggest that we will have the final say in the matter, of course. But in the end the decision will have a much greater effect on Baker County residents than it will on Cerberus, and we ought to exert as much influence as we can muster.

During this 2014 midterm election season, mainstream and social media have inundated voters with tales of schemes and skulduggery. Many voters, especiall y those whose preferred candidatesloston Tuesday,no doubt believe that the process was rigged, the outcome is fraudulent, and they were cheated. The pattern of conspiracy theories is unfortunate but familiar. How pervasive isthe beliefthat American elections will be swayed by improper means? Very. In 2012 we conducted surveys to gauge what Americans thought about the integrity of the system. Just before the election, we asked a national sample of respondents about the likelihood of voter fraud iftheir preferred presidentialcandidate did not win. About 50 percent said fraud would have been very or somewhat likely. When asked if someone was using "dirty tricks" in the election, about 85 percentbelieved that some candidate, campaign or political group was. These sentiments are not driven by members of one party or the other: Near equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats 4etween 40 percent and 50 percent) said fraud would bevery or somewhat likely. Each side believes that if they lose, cheating is to blame, and they believe it about equally. Nobody likeslosing,butitappearshard for about half the country to accept that they lost fair and square. Such beliefs can have serious consequences. The Democrats faced close and bit terdefeatsin the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. Following the resolution ofthe2000 presidential election, about a third of the country imostly Democrats) believed the election

JOSEPH M. PARENT of George W. Bush was fraudulent. And evenyearsafterthefact,alm ost40 percentofDemocrats believe thatfraud swung the outcome in Ohio, the decisive state in 2004. Responding to the belief that their voters had been suppressed in 2000 and 2004, Democrats made herculean efforts at voter registration and mobilizationin 2008 and 2012.These efforts contributed to the successful election and re-election campaigns of Barack Obama. Republicans saw these efforts as attempts to subvert the system and stuf ballot boxes. As a result, Republican governors and state legislatures instituted tougher restrictions on voting, including shortened early voting times and voter identification requirements. In response to these Republican efforts, Democrats have accused Republicans of manufacturing phony assertions ofvoterfraud as partofawide-ranging conspiracytocurtailDemocraticvoters' access to the polls. This spiral ofhostility is bound to continue. One irony here is thatthe Democrats broadly believed that voter fraud was used against them in 2000 and 2004, but now contend Republican efforts to decrease voter fraud is aform ofvoterfraud. But focusing on the last few elections obscures how routine conspiracy theoriesarein the electoralprocess.In addition to surveying the public, we also examined accusations of voter fraud

made inletterstotheeditor ofprominent newspapers. What we found was a regularstream ofvoterfraud accusations over more than 120 years that seemed torecycleendlessly. Just as there were concerns that powerful"corporatemasters" had purchased George W. Bush's election, there were similar concerns that powerful corporateinterestshad purchased the 1888 election for President Benjamin Harrison. Just as some people think Democrats conspired with the IRS to target conservative political groups going into the 2010election,people in 1893 believed that the Democrats at that time were conspiring with tax officials to rig elections. Throughout American history, m any groups have been accused oftampering with elections, including Republicans, Democrats, Catholics, Mormons, government workers, unions, socialists, corporationsand foreign countries. If you are fuming that your favorite candidate or party didn't win and you're convinced that fraud is to blame, you've got a lot of company. Conspiracy theories, especially electoral conspiracy theories, have been an American staple for as long as we can tell. And perhaps they serve a purpose. Atter all, beliefs so popular and widespread may have some truth behind them. And even if they turn out to be false, they may be useful. It may take heightened sensitivity to deter dirty tricks and recover quickly from defeat.

Instead of another exercise in mockery and vitriol, it's a teachable moment. That's what recently happened to Hillary Clinton. Stumping for gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley, Ms. Clinton let slip the kind of comment that can launch a thousand ships of criticism."Don't let anybody tell you that, you know, it's corporationsand businesses thatcreate

jobs," she said. Not long after, Ms. Clinton walked it back, of course."Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs creategood-paying jobshere in an America," she explained, "where workersand familiesareempowered tobuild from the bottom up and the middle out — not when we hand out tax breaks for

corporationsthat outsourcejobsor stash theirprofi tsoverseas." Still, Republicans like Jeb Bush pounced on her original remark. Certainly, a politico as polished and experienced as Hillary Clinton knows she'll take her lumps even after making a clarification. But Ms. Clinton's poor phrasing accidentally revealed an important insight. As Harold Meyerson observed at the Washington Post, some of the biggest businesses Ms. Clinton slammed are among America's biggest banksbanks run by some of Ms. Clinton's most reliable backers. Yet there's something about Ms. Clinton's criticism that's even more important than the hypocrisy that fact implies. When big corporations with closegovernment tiesfailto boostbroadbased economic growth, including job growth, it's not really because Republicans have lightened their tax burden. A more significant factor is the way those corporations can game the regulatory system and benefit from political patronage.

Inside the bubble of cronyism, profits can be generated in a manner that the freemarket hardly getsto access. It's a problem that's visible in some of America's most important financial institutions. Just consider the stock market, where big corporations continue to make a killing, although the fundamentals of the economy, including hiring and job growth, continue to be weak. Ms. Clinton doesn't want to admit it, but the structural problems with crony capitalism can't be boiled down to the "trickle-down economics" that defined the bygone Reagan era. Back in the 1980s, the financial system was much less centralized than it is today. What's more, government regulation of that system was simpler and more streamlined. Now, layers of official and unofficial rules give banks, health care firms and othermassive corporations ample opportunities to cash in on the buying and sellingofaccessthatdefined ourpolitics in the wake of — well, the presidency of Bill Clinton.

PORTLAND — Gov. John Kitzhaber has spent a month on thedefensive,forced to addresstheexpensivefailure of the Cover Oregon health insurance website and ethical questions surrounding his fiancee. When it came time to cast their ballots, though, the voters stuck by their longest serving governor. Kitzhaber was elected to an unprecedented fourth term on Tuesday, defeating Republican state Rep. Dennis Richardson. It was a slimmer margin than Kitzhaber might've expected a year ago, when he looked invincible before his third term hit a speed bump. But it was a wider margin than the 1.5-point victory he engineered four years ago. The governor didn't ignore the controversies when he declaredvictory before a crowd of supportive Democrats in Portland.

Kitzhaber' sre-election came after a fierce battle with Richardson, who aggressively slammed the governor and his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, over Hayes'work for organizations seeking to influence state policy. Richardson said Hayes'work violated federallaw and constituted corruption. Kitzhaber has maintained Hayes carefully

avoided conflicts. Richardson hoped voters had enough dissatisfaction with Kitzhaber's performance to pick a Republican governor for the first time since 1982. Election results showed Kitzhaber with a 49-46 lead with the bulk of outstanding votesin areasthatsupported him. But Richardson was not ready to concede defeat. "Scandal after scandal, the fraud waste and abuse of power that has taken place at the highest level and been disclosed in the last month, it was beyond my comprehension," Richardson told his supporters in Clackamas. Richardson, a retired lawyer from Central Point who flew helicopters in Vietnam, has represented a southern Oregon district in the state House for more than a

decade. He struggledtoovercome his socially conservative views in a state that strongly supports abortionrights. Democrats pummeled voters with two decades worth of Richardson's controversial statements about gays, illegal immigration and abortion. Kitzhaberisa form er

PORTLAND — Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley was re-electe d Tuesday to the U.S. Senate. He defeated Republican Monica Wehby, a pediatric neurosurgeon from Portland Wehby M erkl e y burst onto the political scene with a compelling resume and strong fundraising. But she couldn't recover from a seriesofm issteps. Old police reports showed her ex-husband and a former boyfriend both made harassment complaints against her. She also used health care and economic plans taken from other Republicans, playing into Merkley's effort to align her with unpopular Republicans. He echoed that theme in his victory speech, asserting that Oregonians had rejected the pohcles put forward by Charles and David Koch, wealthy businessmen who spent heavily on advertisements backing Wehby. "It's just a simple contrast," Merkley said, pointing to differences in their

approaches to tax cuts and outsourcing jobs overseas. "The Koch brothers want torestoretheiGeorgeW. Bush) tax cuts. Let's instead invest in education so our children can thrive and the next generation can thrive." Merkleyfirst was elected in 2008,barely defeating incumbent Republican Gordon Smith with the help of new Democratic voters. In his first term, Merkley became wellknown among Democratic activist sasa champion for progressive causes. He also has played a prominent role in efforts to crack down on Wall Street, prohibit discrimination against gays and lesbians, and end the war in Afghanistan. He pushed for changes to Senaterulesthatallowed Obama to advance stalled nominations to federalcourtsand the executive branch.

• GOP takes control of U.S. Senate, strengthens its majority in the House By Ken Thomas and Nancy Benac Associated Press

WASHINGTON — America awoke Wednesday to sharper dividing lines in an alreadydivided government, forcing President Barack Obama to recalibratehis approach and giving Republican leaders in Congress new muscle to check him. The president scheduled an afternoon news conference to offer his take on an Election Day thumping of Democrats that gave Republicans control of the Senate, strengthened the GOP hold on the House and put a series of Democratic-leaning states under control of new Republican governors. One of Obama's first postelection calls was to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, positioned to become the new Senate majority leaderand confrontthepresident over his signature health care law and on other issues. The two didn't connect, but Obama left a message for the senator, the White House said. The election results alter the national political dynamic on immigration reform, budgetmatters,presidential nominations and much more. With lawmakers planning to return to Washington next w eek for a post-election session, Obama invited congressional leaders to a meeting Friday.

McConnell To Take Over As Majority Leader WASHINGTON (APj — As a child, Mitch McConnell contracted and largely beat polio. He was student president in high school, the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky law school. He's never lost a general election and has spent 30 years in the Senate scaling Republican leadership ranks. Half a century after his firstWashington stint as an intern, the methodical Kentucky Republican is now poised to McC o nnell achieve his long-cherished goal: becoming Senate majority leader. McConnell was re-elected to a sixth term Tuesday as his party gained at least seven Senate seats — enough to control the chamber in next year's Congress. McConnell, 72, is certain to be chosen by his GOP colleagues for the Senate's most powerful job and will join House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in confronting Barack Obama with his presidency's first Republican-controlled Congress. "He's right at the doorstep of the position he's aspired to all his life," said former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss. For McConnell, who's been Senate minority leader for eight years, his ascension comes just in time. The 2016 election cycle looks tough for Republicans, who will defend 24 of 34 Senate seats. 4

W e are humbled by the responsibility the American people have placed with us, but this is not a time for celebration," said House Speaker John Boehner, who will preside over a larger caucus come January."It's time for governmenttostartgetting results and implementing solutions to the challenges facing our country, starting with our still-struggling

economy." With the 2014 midterms in the rearview mirror, 2016 and the next presidential raceloom large.Itwasno coincidence that two potential GOP contenders for 2016 — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky — turned up on morning talk shows Wednesday to deconstruct theresults and cast them as a good sign

for the GOP going forward. Obama will have early opportunities to set a new tone in dealing with the Republicans who will be fully in control of Congress come January. He has promised immigrationadvocatesthathe11issue presidential ordersthisyear to shield from deportation millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, but three GOP senators had asked him to hold off on that. Obama also could act on the longdelayed Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL oil pipeline, which has wide bipartisan support in Congress, in order to avert an early showdown with the new Congress. The election results were resounding: Senate Republicans tagged their Democratic opponents with votingin lockstep with Obama and it worked: The GOP took over formerly Democratic Senate seats in seven states. With three races yet to be settled, the GOP had claimed 52 seats in the next Senate, to win back the majority for the first time since 2006. Senate races in Virginia and Arkansas were still to be settled, and Louisiana was headed for a Dec. 6 runofF between three-term Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican Rep. Bill

Cassidy.

In the House, Republicans were on track to meet or exceed the 246 seats they held during President Harry S. Truman's administration more than 60 years ago. In statecapitols,Republicans picked up governors' seats in reliably Democratic states like Illinois, Maryland and Massachusetts. With Congress grappling with gridlock, stateshave been at the forefront ofeffortsto raise the minimum wage and implement Obama's health care law. Many Republican governorsseekingre-election had struggledwith poorapproval ratings but prevailed, including Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who defeated Democrat Charlie Crist; Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback; and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential GOP presidential candidate in 2016. Voters expressed bitterness with a sluggish economic recovery and the nation's handling of foreign crises. Nearly two-thirds of voters

mtervtewed after casttng ballots said the country was seriously on the wrong track. Only about 30 percent said the nation was headed in the right direction. More than 4 in 10 voters disapprovedofboth Obama and Congress, according to the exitpollsconducted for The Associated Press and the television networks. Obama's poor approvalratings turned him into a liability forDemocrats seekingreelection. The outcome offered parallels to the sixth year of Republican George W. Bush's presidency, when Democrats won sweeping victories amid voter discontent with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Democrats had few bright spots. New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Maggie Hassan, who campaigned with potential 2016 candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton last weekend, both won re-election. In Pennsylvania, businessman Tom Wolf dispatched GOP Gov. Tom Corbett.

Some younger dogs will be retrainednot to respond to marijuana and other dogs will be sold to states where the drug remains illegal. Lohner said his department will make a decision about purchasing another dog later. Had the measure failed, Turbo would have rem ained on thejob for atleast another two years, he said. The chief said he would have preferred that Oregon had waited at least another coupleofyearsbeforevoting on the issue to watch what's happening in Washington and Colorado. "People don't consider the cost," he said.'T he costto law enforcement, the cost oftreatment,the costof victimization and the cost to our youth. "It scares me, just the thought of so many more of our young people having access to it." Sheriff Southwick agrees. "It's not something I think isgood forthe state orfor anybody else," he said. Southwick also is concerned about more access to the drug for juveniles, an expected increase in the number of drivers using marijuana and the cost of training officers to respond to the issues that will be created. Oregon State Police Lt. Steven Smartt, area commander for Baker City and La Grande OSP offices, said his agency will be waiting for further instruction from the Legislature. But in the meantime, and until the July 1 legalization date, impaired drivers will be arrested as they always have been. "If they're impaired, they're impaired," he said, acknowledging that the development of future crime lab testsasdirected by the Legislature will aid in enforcement as the new law takeseffect.

BAKER CITY HERALD —7A

LOCAL

ELECTION RESULTS

TRASH Continued ~om Page1A Henry said the first loads will be "soft" — they want to avoid anything like construction refuse that could potentially puncture the new liner. During preparation, four gullies were created, which collect any runoff — called leachate— that seeps through the trash. That water collects into a sump, and then drains to a pond — also lined — where the water evaporates. With Eastern Oregon's low annual rainfall, Henry doesn't expect much leachate tocollectin the pond. He said contaminates haven'tbeen a problem in the past. sWe've never had high levels of anything yet," he sard. Brent Freese, Baker Sanitaryvice president, said the liner project is a "piggyback system," meaning it is installed over existing garbage. In the future, another liner could be installed over the accumulated trash. This work is all being done within the same footprint the landfill currently uses. In addition to Baker

The new cell layer is triple-lined and will cover six acres when completed. County's garbage, the landfill receives trash from Union County. "It has kind of enabled the feasibility of this liner," Henry said.

HARVEY Continued from Page1A "I just can't see spending the money to count votes that won't affect the outcome of the race," Green said. Oregon election law requires county clerks to hand-count write-in votes only if the total number of votes equals or exceeds the votes cast for the candidate whose name is on the ballot. Green said last month that she would consider having write-in votes in the commission chairman's race hand-counted if it appeared that Warner, the only person touted as a write-in, could possibly challenge Harvey. But as votes were tallied Tuesday night at the Courthouse, it became clear that write-in votes would not change the outcome.

He said his father, Loren, who has retired from Baker Sanitary, started researching — and saving for — the new liner system about 10 years ago.

In unofficial results, Harvey received 4,586 votes. The totalofwrite-in voteswas 1,525. Harvey, who has served on the Baker County Planning Commission for the past 12 years, said he hasbeen preparing to replace Warner by attending meetings of city councils and of county boards to become more familiar with the range of issues in the county. "I've been preparing constantly," Harvey sald. Although members of the county elections board won't be hand-tallying write-ins for the commission chairman race, that's not the case for the Baker City Council election.

PORTLAND — Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts took it upon himself to address Damian Lillard's night. 'You don't have to ask what's wrong with Damian anymore," Stotts said."Actually, you don't ever have to

ask." That question was better asked about LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. Lillard had a breakthrough with 27 points and Portland regained last season's form with a 101-82 victory.

The Blazers, who snapped a brieftwo-game losing streak, held James to just 11 points. Lillard had been nursing an abdominal strain but he startednonetheless and collected 15 points by halfbme — after averaging just13.7 points on 11-for-41 shooting

There's been a lot oflosing basketball around here for a few years," James said. Wesley Matthews finished with 21 points for Portland. "It felt really good to get back into the swing of things," Matthews said,"and back to us." Kevin Love, who grew up inOregon and played at Lake Oswego High School south of Portland, had his thirdstraight double-double for Cleveland i1-2l with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Love and LaMarcus Aldridgewho finished with 16 points — battled much of the way. The Cavaliers made their first 10 shots and James hit consecutive3-pointers toput Cleveland up 27-20 early. The Blazers answered with a 9-0 run. Lillard hit a 3-pointer and a pairoffreethrows and Portlandled 55-50 atthe break. He opened the second half with a dunk. Portlandstretched thelead to 67-54 on Aldridge's layup and led 76-69 going into the fourth. The Blazers led by as many as 19 points in the final period. James urged patience. "It's like building a car from scratch. I've done that before, "hesaid."Ihated the process, it got on my nerves. I sentitback togetrepainted 100 times.

Mississippi State, Florida State and Auburn held the topthree spotsin thesecond College Football Playoff rankings, with Oregon joining them in the top four Tuesday night. Marcus Mariota and the Ducks, coming off a 45-16 win over Stanford, moved up one spot from fifth in the initial poll by the 12-member selection committee. They moved in ahead of Alabama, a third team from the West Division of the Southeastern Conference that was also up one place to fifth. "It was very close, and I think it's the product of Oregon's other wins they have,"Arkansas athletic directorand selection committee chairman Jeff Long said. "They have the Michigan State win, but they also, again, went on the road against UCLA and won, and a couple of wins that made their body of work, put them

a stepahead ofiAlabamal at this point." Mississippi dropped seven spotsto 11th afterits second consecutive loss, 35-31 to Auburn. The Rebels remained ahead of four one-loss teams from power-five conferences, directly ahead of Baylor, Nebraska and Ohio State — Nos. 12-14, and all higher than a week ago. Auburn is the highest ranked of the 12 one-loss teams in the rankings that will ultimately determine the national semifinals.

USDA urges farmers, ranchers to vote in FSA elections The U.S. Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers and ranchers to make their voices heard by voting in the upcoming Farm Service Agency County Committee elections. FSA Administrator Val Dolcini announcedthatbeginning Monday, USDA will mail ballots for the 2014 elections to eligibleproducers acrossthe country. Producers must return ballots to their local FSA offices by the Dec. 1 deadline to ensure that their vote is counted. cThe role and input of our county committee members is vital as we implement the 2014 Farm Bill," Dolcini said."New members provide input and make important decisions on the local administration of FSA programs. We have seen promising increases in the number of women and minority candidates willing to serve on county committees, helping to better represent the diversity of American agriculture." FSA County Committee members provide an important link between the local agricultural community and USDA. Farmers and ranchers elected to county committees help deliver FSA programs at the local level, applying their knowledge and judgment to make decisions on commodity supportprograms, conservation programs, indemnity and disaster programs, emergency programs and eligibility. County committees operate within official regulationsdesigned to carry outfederallaws. To be an eligible voter, farmers and ranchersmust participate orcooperate in an FSA program. A person who is not oflegalvoting age,butsupervises and conducts the farming operations of an entire farm, may also be eligible to vote. Agricultural producers in each county submitted candidate nominations during the nomination period, which ended on Aug. 1. Eligible voters who do not receive ballots in the coming week may pick one up at their local USDA Service Center or FSA office located at 3990 Midway Drive in Baker City, 1901Adams Ave., Suite 5, in La Grande and 401 N.E. First St., Suite E, in Enterprise. Nearly 7,700 FSA County Committee members serve in the 2,124 FSA offices nationwide. Each committee consists of threeto 11 members elected by eligible producers. Members serve three-year terms of office. Approximately one-third of county committee seats are up for election each year. — I/VesComNews Service

The competitive advantage may also be undefined. • Price compression from competitorsforcessales people to sell at lower prices resulting in reduced profit margins. This could also be a warning sign that salespeople do not know of any other way to sell except on price. • Perhaps your company has salespeople who are resigned to rejecting any new sales techniques because "this is the way we have always done it." • Those same salespeople are usually desk bound. Sales management fails to understand that the best use of a salesperson'stim eis across thedesk from a prospect or a client. • The best salespeople usuallyhave no problem fi nding employment so companies oftensettleforhaving salespeople who are not trained in selling. • This is further manifested by the company failing to provide any time of ongoing sales training and education. • Having unprofessional salespeople representthe company can damage the company for years.

Helen, a 14-year-old blind American bison who needed new digs in August after her former one-and-only owner could no longercare forher,isadjusting to a verdant new pasture in Scio since one community member readabout her plightand offered her shelter. Dozens of others also responded to the story, published first in the Statesman Journal. Recently, under the watchful eye and care of Wayne Geiger, the executivedirectorofthe Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary who worked feverishly to ease Helen's transition, the public got its first chance to see the blind bison ido not call her a buffalo) up close.

Geiger said m ore than 200 people in boots, ponchos and rainjackets braved stormy weather to see for themselves the gentle giant who now feeds peacefully on the sanctuary's property along with other rescued animals including ducks, pigs, donkeys, stallions, dogs, and llamas.

Some of the day's visitors had the opportunity to pet the bovine subfamily member over her fence, and the bison handled the attention well. "She was marvelous," Geiger said."Really remarkable. The weather didn't bother her or anyone else." Some visitors shared stories about growing up in northeast Salem and watching Helen grazing at herformer home on Sunnyview Road NE as they passed by her field of Queen Anne's lace. Others talked about not knowing she was there until they read

about the story, and wanted to share in her newfound celebrity. Her original owner, Lisa Miller, adopted the animal when it was just 4 days old and scheduled to beeuthanized because ofits blindness. It was the only home Helen had ever known, and Miller feared, after injuries sustained in an automobile accident prevented her from giving the bison the care it needed, that the bison would have to be put down. "The crowd really loved seeing her," Geiger said."And we had several people fill out volunteer applicati ons and even adoption paperwork. So it was a really nice day all around."

Critics say the latest round of gathers at taxpayer expense amounts to welfare for ranchers whose real aim is to rid the range ofcompetition for scarce forage.

RENO, Nev.— Federal wranglers plan an unusual wild horse roundup near the Nevada-Utah line, where ranchers and rural residents say protected mustangs are knocking down fences and impregnating domesticated mares. The Bureau of Land Management intends to conductwhat itdescribesas a public safety and nuisance gather of about 120 wild horses beginning this month in eastern Nevada. The agency typically conducts roundups to reduce herds it says are on overgrazed public lands and in dangerofstarvation.

keep in mind that you may think your investing time frame is until retirement, say age 65, but your time frame is actually your lifetime. Plan for longevity. Arthur Ashe said,"Success is a journey not a destination." By knowing your current position and charting your destination you are much better prepared to enjoy the ride.

Remember, she's an adult woman and can make decisions about her sex life for herself While you and I may think it's unwise for her to expose her children to this triad, that message might be more appropriate coming from their father, rather than her mother.

Consumers who optnot toobtain coverage,either through their employer or through the federal Affordable Care Act, will also pay more. Those individuals will pay agreater penalty for not securing coverage, increasing to$325,or2 percentof household income, whichever feeisgreater,from $95 this year, or 1 percent of yearly household income.

dollars, experts said. Employers have a financial incentive to offer such plans. Under the Affordable Care Act, employers in 2018 that offerplans thatcostm ore than $10,200 for an individu-

By raising deductibles and lowering premiums, companies will lower their chance of triggering the tax. Beth Umland, director of research for health and benefits for Mercer, said more than one-third of companies would hit that excise tax threshold if they made no changes to their plan offerings. Premiums in consumer directed plans typically cost about 20 percent less than a traditional PPO or HMO plan, she said.
