• Almost 53 percent ofvoters oppose Measure 1-63,which would have made county commissioner positions nonpartisan

By Joshua Dillen and Jayson Jacoby Baker City Herald

Baker County voters like their county commission positions just as they are — with a party a Bliation next to the commissioners' names. Voters on Tuesday rejected a measure that would have made the three commissioner positions nonpartisan. M easure1-63failed,with 2,053voters opposed i52.7 percent) and 1,842 voters

supporting the measure i47.3 percent), according to unofficial results from the County Clerk's office. Randy Joseph of Sumpter Valley, the measure's chief petiJoseph tioner, blames himself for the outcome, saying he should have tried to put the measure on the ballot for a November general election, which

typicall y attractmore voters. 'There's not a whole lot to say," Joseph said this morning."The mistake is mine for having it come in a special district election when there's very low voter turnout."

S. John Collins/BakerCity Herald

With gas taxes the major source of money to maintain highways and city streets, transportation officials worry about running short of money as more people drive fuel-efficient vehicles.

Baker City Councilors and members of the Budget Board met Tuesday night to hear public testimony and review a proposed budget of almost $19.5 million for the fiscal year that starts July 1. The board consists of the seven city councilors and sevenappointed city residents. Before they heard from the public, members appointed Randy Daugherty as the chairman and Beverly Calder as the vice-chair. Both are former city councilors. Residents who were askedfora piece ofthe city's multimillion-dollar pie included YMCA Director Heidi Dalton, who expressed concern that Sam-0 Swim Center might not be able to stay open in future years without adequate funding. The city owns the pool and the YMCA manages it.

• With thousands of new fuel-sipping vehicles rolling onto our highways every year, thegastax isbecoming a less-reliablesourceofrevenue tom aintain roads By Jayson Jacoby llacoby©bakercityherald.com

Toyota's iconic Prius hybrid car is beloved by owners as they roll past the gasstation. Until one of the skinny, low rolling resistancetiresslams into a pothole with a kidney-bruising crunch. The Prius and the pothole could serve as the twin symbols of a looming crisis that confronts Oregon and the rest of the nation. How can we afford to keep our streets and highways in decent shape when the main source of money for that work — gas tax revenue —inexorably shrinks as the gas-sipping frugality that the Prius epitomizes spreads, virus-like, through America's fleet? It's an issue that affects not only the state, but also counties, which receive30 percent ofOregon'sgas tax revenues, and cities, which get 20 percent "As morepeople move to alternative fuels, like electricity, it's going to affect us in the long term and ratchet our igas tax revenue) down," said Jeff Smith, Baker County roadmaster. The most common answer to this

OReGO: WHAT IS IT? • Oregon's test program, limited to 5,000 vehicles, designed to compare charging drivers for the miles they cover or by assessing a per-gallon tax at the pump • The voluntary program starts July1 • Participants will have a device installed in their car to keep track of miles driven and they'll be charged 1.5 cents per mile; if the amount they pay in gas taxes is greater that the mileage charge, they'll get a rebate check for the difference • Drivers of cars that have an EPA combined mileage of 20 mpg or less will save money • More information: www.myorego.org

revenue conundrum involves taxing drivers not based on how much fuel their vehicles burn — none at all, in thecase ofelectriccars— but rather on how many miles they drrve.

The concept is simple — if drivers pay based on how much they use the road and street system, then governments will have a relatively steady stream of money regardless ofhow fuel-efficient vehicles become. The only fluctuations in revenue would derive from changes in how many miles drivers amass. But there is also an element of fairness in the idea, which goes by such names as "vehicle mile tax" or, in Oregon's case, "road usage charge," said Michelle Godfrey, the public information officer for the Oregon Department of Transportation's iODOTl soon-to-launch volunteertestprogram oftheconcept. With a gas tax — Oregon's has been 30cents per gallon since 2011;the federaltax since 1993 is 18.4centson gasoline,24.4 cents fordiesel— the driver ofa pickup truck pays significantly more for road maintenance than the driver of a Prius that covers roughly the same number of miles, even though there's no significant difference in the amount of road wear the two vehicles cause,Godfrey said.

TURNING HACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 20, 1965 Property owners in a four-acre triangle area south of Bridge St., with the exception of one parcel of land, have given options to sell their property to an outside firm which reportedly has a shopping center under consideration. Last week, options were being sought on another piece of property, the better than five-acre area bounded by Resort St. and the Powder River on the west and east and Washington St. on the north and Valley Ave. on the south. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 20, 1990 GRESHAM — Baker set one school record and just missed a second Saturday at the OSAA-U.S. Bank Class AA state track and field championships at Mount Hood Community College.

Both the bride and groom share a passion for just about all sports, being outside and active and spending time with their family and friends. Their wedding will be a wonderful celebration of the life oflove to come, the families said.

only $6 per child compared to atypicalcostofabout$40 elsewhere. She said that the YMCA can'tafford to addressthe deferred maintenance of the facility. Dalton's concern was the replacement of the building's aging heating system. The cost of that is esti-

Dan and Nan Martin are expecting about 50 family members for a combined birthday party Saturday at their Baker City home. Dan celebrated his 95th birthday on May 5 and Nan will turn 89 on her birthday, June 4. The Martins, who were married on Dec. 17, 1944, will celebrate their 71st wedding anniversary this year. They moved to Baker City from Bellingham, Washington, in

1960. Dan retired from a career in heavy construction and the couple spent 30 years raising cattle on their ranch at Salisbury Junction on Highway 7 south of Baker City. The Martins relocated to Baker City in December of last year.

mated $350,000 to $400,000 project. That design plan will cost

about $26,000. Those dollars areincluded in the proposed budgetfrom the generalfind and grantrevenue. Mayor Kim Mosier expressed concern that a design plan for a new irrigation system would cost that much. Golf Course Supervisor Bill Tiedemann said organizations that might award grantsforpartoftheproject won't even consider an application without a design plan, and that such a plan is therefore necessary. Dick Haines, president of New Hope For Eastern Oregon Animals, talked

about progress on raising money for an animal shelter which might be constructed in Baker City. Haines requested money form the city to help pay for capital and business plans for the future construction of the project. Historic Baker City President Larry Abell requested

$5,000 from the city. He said that would make grantapplications for the organizationlook better because there would be matching funds available. The Budget Board will reconvene tonight at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St. If needed there will also be meetings on Thursday and on May 27, both at6 p.m .at City Hall.

EDITORIAL

SWC

aen s EEI The episode was fraught with danger. A man flees police during a traffic stop in Baker City, first topping 100 mph on Highway 7, then heading into the forest on gravel and dirt roads. The suspect, who's a convicted felon suspected of having a gun he's legally forbidden from owning, leaves his pickup and runs away but then returns and starts driving again. In all he covers 28 miles. A thunderstorm with rain and snow is moving in, obscuring officers' vision. And yet when the situation ended the next akernoon, and Damon Robinson, 41, of Baker City, was in handcuffs, the only casualty was Robinson's 1997

! LIVE "'WEN AREPASoUT QE 201k CA/APA SN,$%E 0VToF RWRREP0R.tCAN&Slp THE<NK% P'uNNiH&RRFRE&lPENT.„" POLITICAL DISCORD IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dodge pickup truck. He left it behind in the forest near Marble Creek Pass aker he tried to drive o6'road. That nobody was hurt is a testament to the professionalism and skill of the many officers, from all local police agencies, who were involved in the pursuit of, and subsequent search for, Robinson. The so-far anonymous Sumpter Valley man who saw Robinson, and then held him at gunpoint until police arrived, might not have demonstrated the greatest discretion, but most importantly he handled hisgun responsibly and performed a valuable public service. We acknowledge that every interaction between police and a suspect is diferent. But as we all know, sometimes these episodes turn out badly, with police, suspects or bystanders being hurt or killed.

That didn't happen last week. Which is a good thing.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: No one pretends that Oregon's new clean fuel standard isgoing to slow orstop global climate change. Gov. K ate Brown says she supported the standard, but not because it would actually achieve anything on climate change. She says she is committed to the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and California and Washington are doing things, so Oregon should hold up its end of the bargain. What do Oregonians get for this bargain? About the only guarantee is that the standard will make costs at the gas pump go up for customers. How much? A few cents? A lot of cents? Nobody knows. What Senate Bill 324 does is require distributors to lower the carbon intensity of vehicle fuel by 10 percent over the next decade. That doesn't make fuel cheaper. Thereare supposed tobeprotections in place to shield Oregonians from price spikes, but will state government take action to protect consumers? There's no guarantee. SB 324 has united Republicans in the Legislature. To oppose it, they created a roadblock to something the stateactually needs:a transportation package ofroad and bridge improvements. They say they aren't going to budge. The governor has been trying to negotiate a compromise. Brown should get Oregon what it needs, not what feels

good. Oregon's clean fuels standard gets government more involved in picking winners and losers in the energy market when the benefits of the standard are questionable. It should be repealed or substantially altered to allow the transportation package to move forward.

C OS B T O Political wrangling in Washington is as old as the Republic itself, and partisanbattlesoverideasand power will surely be with us long into the future. But the current era ofhyperpartisanship has frequently paralyzed congressional decision-making and led both Republicans and Democrats to fail the mostbasictestsofgovernance. This failure has had real consequences for real people. When a stymied Congresscouldn'tagreeon a strategy for defici treduction,itproposed a draconian sequester, across-the-board budget cuts so illogical and unwise lawmakers thought it would force them to act. Yet congressional dysfunction prevailed and the once unthinkable cuts were implemented in early 2013. Later that year, the same unhealthy dynamic forced the government to shut down for two weeks. These actions slowed the struggling economic recovery and hurt the jobs and incomes of Americans across the country. Unrelenting partisanship has also led to a routine breakdown of normal spending and budget procedures, to some oftheleastproductive Congresses in modern history, and even to the loss of traditional bipartisan cooperation on foreign policy. If weare tobreak out ofthisstraitjacketso ourrepresentatives can do what they were elected to do, namely lead and govern, we must end the destructive culture that has emerged on Capitol Hill. That's why The Lugar Center and Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy are launching The Bipartisan Index, a ranking of all senatorsand representatives according to their sponsorship and co-sponsorship ofbills.

OREGON LEGISLATURE

enaecommi ee ac snew

imi sonme ica maii Iiana By Sheila V Kumar Associated Press

SALEM — An Oregon Senate special committee unanimously passed legislation on Monday imposing a variety of new restrictions on medical marijuana, aweek afterajointcommittee overseeing the state's marijuana rules stalled on a similar measure. The Senate Special Committee on Implementing Measure 91 passed a proposal tightening regulations on the medical marijuana industry, such as limiting the number of plants growers can have, building an inventory tracking system for growers,processorsand dispensaries, inspection requirements and an Oregon residencyrequirement. Lawmakers say the lengthy set of new restrictions is necessary so the recreational program can pass muster with federal authorities. The move comes a week after an

Oregon House-Senate committee in charge of implementing the state's new marijuana rules reached an impasse on a bill aimed at stemming the flow of pot to the black market. Committee members agreed on most issues except for one: the question of whether local governments could ban medical marijuana dispensaries or other pot facilities within their jurisdictions. Senate lawmakers on the joint committee wanted local governments to have the power to ban the dispensaries while still giving citizens the ability to gather signatures and put the issue to a ballot ifthey opposedtheban. But three House members on the committeeopposed localgovernments beingableto"optout"ofm edicalm arijuana facilities, saying people who use marijuana for medical purposes need to haveaccesstotheirtreatments.

The joint committee deadlocked on the issue, causing Senate President Peter Courtney to name the five senators who sat on the committee to a Senateonly special committee last week. M arijuana advocates said creation of the new panel was an extraordinary move in order to bypass House members' objections. 'That's problematic for the Measure 91 campaign, because under Measure 91 cities and counties can only ban state regulated marijuana facilities, marijuana businesses, with a vote of the people. And so now we have a conflict between medical marijuana and what's going to be legal under Measure 91," said Anthony Johnson, chief petitioner of Measure91,thevoter-approved initiative legalizing marijuana. The bill passed the committee on a 5-0 vote. It now heads to the Senate floor.

STATE BRIEFING Oregon jobless rate declines again PORTLAND iAPl — State officials say growth in services for the elderly, in high tech design and manufacturing and in food and restaurant businesses helped push Oregon job numbers higher in April and the unemployment rate lower. The state Employment Department said Tuesday that the state added 7,600 jobs in the month, on track with the rapid jobgrowth the state recorded since September. The unemployment rate fell again, by two-tenths of a percentagepoint,to 5.2 percent.

Mother accused of leaving toddler outside PORTLAND iAPl — A 22-year-old Portland woman accused ofleaving her 23-month-old daughter in a tent outside has pleaded not guilty.

SCHOOLS Continued ~om Page1A The Budget Committee approved the proposed

$22,684,143 budget for the coming year after a brief discussionpriortothe school board's regular meeting. The committeealso approved the

tax rate of $4.605 per $1,000 of assessed property value. During the board session, Julie Gentry, whose son attends South Baker Intermediate School, expressed her support for adding a half-time teacher at Haines Elementary School where 32 studentsareexpectedto attend the combined fifth- and sixth-grade class next year. Gentry added that she's concerned as well about the number of students in her son's class. "I think we need to seriously consider adding a fourthgrade teacher," she said."I'd sure like to see my son's classroom a little bit smaller." Betty Palmer, interim superintendent, said board policy sets the class size limit at 28fortheintermediate grades. She said the 2015-16 budget provides for an additional paraprofessional to work with teachers at South Baker. Andrew Bryan, board chair, noted that the school board will be considering ways the community can "invest in itself" in the coming years. "Part of that is instruction, it's not just always facilities," he said. Dalton said the district's 2015-16 budget includes spending to train the staf. '%e are investing dollars in making our teachers better, "he said.'%e do that with the idea that the quality of instruction makes more difference than two or three imorel kids in the classroom." Tuesday night the board approvedthe hiringof Cynthia Stevens to work half-time at Haines with the combined fifth- and sixthgradeclass.Palmer said today that Stevens will work with Annetta Evans to teach math and reading to those students in the mornings. '%e don'twant to go above 25 if we're teaching two grades iin math and readingl," Palmer said. The board also approved the transfer of Evans from South Baker sixth-grade to Haines for the coming year. Palmer said Evans is a veteran teacher who will capablyhandle thelarge class in other subject areas, with the help of parapros. As the board meeting got under way Tuesday night, Palmer paid tribute to Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort foritssponsorshipofthe district's "Ski for the Health of It" program, which is in its fourth year. Volunteers Linda and Tim Collins also were recognized

for their efforts to coordinate the program along with Chelsea McLagan, the ski resort's marketing director. Linda Collins said the three were there as representatives of the many people involved in ensuring the program's success, from thebus driversto the parent volunteersand the secretaries who help the students slgil up.

'There are alotofpeople who could be up here," she saidafterthe threewere honored. A total of 160 students in Grades4-12 participated in the Friday program this year, Palmer said. It started with 120 in 2011-12 and has grown steadily, enrolling 140 in 2012-13; and 154 in 2013-

ROADS Continued from Page1A iCommercial trucks are responsible form ostofthat wear, she said, which is one reasonthe state since 1947 has charged vehicles over 26,000 pounds a road tax based on their weight and miles driven.) And that disparity in how much drivers pay increases along with the gas tax rate, which Oregon has boosted severaltimes in the past three decades, kom 8 cents per gallon in 1981 to the current 30 cents. Oregon's road usage charge program — known as OReGO — will give the pickup driversa chance to levelthat playing field, so to speak, when the program starts July 1. The program is completely voluntary. It's also limited to 5,000cars and commercial vehicles oflessthan 10,000 pounds. There are two other restrictions, Godkey said. Of the maximum of 5,000 vehicles allowed in the program, no more than 1,500 can have an EPA combined mileage rating oflessthan 17 mpg, and no more than 1,500 can have a mileage rating of 17 to 22 mpg. Althoughtheprogram, which was authorized by Senate Bill 810, passed by the 2013 Legislature, doesn't include any geographic requirements, Godfrey is traveling around Oregon encouraging residents in all parts of the state to volunteer. The program doesn't officially start until July 1, but drivers can add their names iand vehicles) to an interest list at the OReGO website, www.myorego.orgl ODOT will choose the 5,000 participants kom that list, although it's possible the agency won't have to turn down any volunteersGodlrey said as of this week about 1,600 people have signed up on the website. That relative lack of interest might be due in part to those limits on the number of vehicles thatgetlessthan 22 mph. To reach the 5,000-vehicle threshold, ODOT will have to persuade atleast 2,000 people who drive more fuel-efficient vehicles to enroll — and those drivers will pay more as a result. Here's how the program, which will be administered by three private firmsAzuga, Sanef and Verizon Telematics — rather than ODOT itself, works: Volunteers will receive a device, forkee,thatplugs into a data port in their vehicle. The device will count the miles driven and assess a monthlyfeebased on a chargeof1.5centsperm ile driven. The private firms will also calculate how much state gas tax each volunteer paid during the month, based on miles driven and the EPA combined mpg rating for the volunteer's vehicle. If the gas tax bill exceeds the per mile bill, the volunteerwillgeta rebatecheck forthe difference. But drivers of fuel-efficient vehicles, whose monthly gas tax bill might be less than their mileage bill based on the 1.5 cents per mile rate, would have to pay the differencetothestate. Volunteers can quit the program at any time, Godkey

SRld.

"If people want to try it out for a month, they can," she said.'%e just want people to see how it would work for them." The OReGO website includes a calculator by which drivers can get an idea how much they might save, if anything, by opting for the mileage tax rather than the gas tax. There is, though, a mathematical threshold in the program. Based on the 1.5 centsper milerate,thedriver of a vehicle that has an EPA rating ofless than 20 mpg will save money. Drivers ofvehiclesthat get more than 20 mph would pay more, since they would continue to pay the state gas tax plus the mileage fee, with no rebate. That doesn't sit well with some drivers who bought electri cor hybrid carsbecause of their fuel efficiency. "Thisprogram targets hybrid and electric vehicles, so it's discriminatory," Patrick Connor, a Beaverton resident who has been driving an electri ccarsince 2007,told The Associated Press. While growing in popularity, electric vehicles and hybrids are still in the minority on American roads. Of 3.3 million passenger cars registered in Oregon at the end of 2014, about 68,000 were hybrid, 3,500 electric and 620 plug-in hybrid. The OReGO website has a longer-term comparison between two popular vehicles — the aforementioned Prius, and the Ford F-150 pickup truck, the best-selling vehicle in America. The Prius has an EPA rating of 50 mph, the Ford 18 mph. The comparison is based on bothvehiclesdriving 12,962 milesperyear— the average annual mileage for Oregon vehicles, according to ODOT.

EUGENE iAPl — Oregon hit the deer, which went air-

Godlrey said one of the more common concerns she hears kom Oregonians about the program is the installation of GPS units in their vehicles. Volunteers who enroll in OReGO can forego the GPS and install instead a device that only monitors the vehicle's odometer, which is needed to calculate the fee,

Godkey said. The advantageto theGPS unit, she said, is that it will deduct miles driven either out of state, or on private roads such as driveways and so reduce the monthly per-mile Volunteers who choose the non-GPS unit will be charged 1.5 cents for every mile they drive, even if it's outside Oregon, Godkey said.

The future Although transportation expertsgenerally agreethata mileage-basedtax represents the future when it comes to paying for roads, how far in the future a program such as OReGO might actually replace the gas tax is uncertain. Godkey said the bill that authorized OReGO has no expiration date, and ODOT intends to continue the program, with the 5,000-car limit, until either the Legislatureor Oregon votersdecide to go a different direction. Other key questions are unresolved, as well — perhaps the most important being how much the state would have to charge, on a per-mile basis, to keep pace with the rising cost of road projects. Godkey acknowledges that OReGOs 1.5 cents-permile rate might not be high enough Indeed, one problem with gas taxes, she said, is that they're not indexed to inflation. The federal fuel taxes, for instance, haven't increased since 1993, yet average fuel economy has increased by about 22 percent justover the pastdecade. With OReGO, Oregon will be a pioneer on both ends of the road-funding trail, so to

for the pickup driver, and an increaseof$116.66 forthe Prius driver. That said, the Prius driver, whether taxed on fuel or miles driven, still would spend considerably less per year overall in transportation costsbecause the Priusdriver has to buy about 461 fewer gallons of gas per year, based on the 12,962 miles driven, than the Ford driver does. But with a mileage tax the Prius driver would contribute $116.66 more per year to road maintenance than with the gastax,whiletheFord driver

would pay $21.60 less.

ation." Although Joseph and Chuck Guerri initially proposed in 2013 the idea of making county commission positions nonpartisan — 28 of Oregon's 36 counties have done so — the May 2014 primary election served as a testcase ofsortsforproponents'message. All five of the candidates for two county commission positions are Republicans, which in effect made the primary the de factoelection. But because the primary was closed, only registered Republicans, who constitute about49 percent ofthe county'selectorate, were eligible to vote in those two races. Opponents, though, argued that making the commission positions nonpartisan — as voters in the neighboring counties of Union, Wallowa and Grant did last yearwould make it more diKcult for voters to learn about candidates' political beliefs. In other election results from Tuesday, Andrew Bryan won re-election to the Baker School Board, defeating challenger Austin C. Mitchell, a Baker High School student. Bryan, who will serve a four-year term, received1,556 votestoM itchell's912.

arvey Mackay is a successful author, speaker and business owner. In his book"Dig Your Well Before You Are Thirsty," he describes in detail how he earned promotions from his first employer. His first job was managing a broom, and he was assigned the task of sweeping both the production floor and warehouse. Harvey thought about what it would take to distinguish himself from all of the other employees at the company. He not only wanted to do the right things, he wanted to do things right. The first thing he did was make sure that he arrived early to work. Harvey knew that by being early he was setting himself apart from others who were competing forapromotion. Second, he demonstrated a senseofprofessional and personal responsibility. How did he do this? In his mind he "owned" the cleanliness of the floor that he was assigned. Because Harvey accepted responsibility for doing a good job, every day, his immediate supervisor didn't need to micromanage him to make sure that the job was getting done. That freed up the supervisor to spend time dealing with those who did not have the same work ethic, those who did not understand the concept of"owning the job they were paid to do." The third thing he did was to demonstrate enthusiasm for his work. Harvey did this with a strong performance day in and day out, regardlessofwhat else was happening in his life. He did not bring his troubles from home to his job. He did not get caught up in anyone else's drama. Harvey stayed focused. Fourth, he learned to become a team player. People have to work together to achieve common goals. Part ofbeing on a team means having to possess, and use, talent, skills and abilities to work with diverse individuals. Fifth, Harvey understood thatforcesinside and outside the company would influence change and he would need to SeeKeller / Page 2B

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack outlined the new certification in a May 1 letter to USDA employees, saying it was being done at the request of a"leading global company," which he did not identify. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press. A USDA spokesman confirmed that Vilsack sent the letter but declined to comment on the certification program. Vilsack said in the letter that the certification "will be announced soon, and other companies are already lining up to take advantage of this service." Companies can already put their own GMO-fiee labels on

foods, but there are no government labels that only certify a food as GMO-free. Many companies use a private label developed by a nonprofit called the NonGMO Project. The USDA organic labelalso certifiesthatfoodsare free of genetically modified ingredients, but many non-GMO foods aren't organic. Vilsack said the USDA certification is being created through the department's Agriculture Marketing Service, which works with interested companies to certify the accuracy of the claims theyaremaking on food packages — think"humanely raised" or "no antibiotics ever." Companies

pay the Agricultural Marketing Service to verify a claim, and if approved, they can market the foods with the USDA process verified label. "Recently, a leading global company asked AMS to help verify that the corn and soybeans ituses in itsproducts are not genetically engineered so that the company could label the products as such," Vilsack wrote in the letter."AMS worked with the company to develop testing and verifi cation processes toverify the non-GE claim."

Finding e sweet spot: interest rates up or down7 t

recently had the pleasure of attending a financial advisers symposium in Denver. There were breakout sessions on topics ranging trom new technology, advanced Social Security planning, beneficiary reviews for multigenerational wealth management to investing in economic sectors with a focus on energy and several outlooks on interest rates. One of the most trequent questions I hear is,'%hat are interest rates going to do?" Backin the day, 1981 to be exact, interest rates on the federal funds rate, which was about 11 percent in 1979, rose to a whopping 20 percent by June 1981. I remember this well as it was also the same month and year I began my investm ent career. Investorscould buy U.S. government-backed securitie sthatpaid an interestrateof16percent for30 years. Just think, if you were investing $100,000 at that timeyou could earn $16,000 per year as income. Sweet. Since that time the federal funds rate has moved down to below1percent to.1percent.

The majority of the country's corn and soybean crop is now genetically modified, with much of that going to animal feed. GMO corn and soybeans are also made intopopular processed food ingredients like high-fiuctose corn syrup and soybean oil. The government says GMOs on the market now aresafesomandatory labels aren't needed. Consumer advocates pushing for mandatory labeling say shoppers still have a right to know what is intheirfood,arguing that not enough is known about the effects of the technology. They have supported several state efforts to require labeling, with the eventual goal of havinga federalmandatory label set by the Food and Drug Administration. An Associated Press-GfK poll in December showed that two thirds of Americans support the labeling, while fewer said genetically modified ingredients are important in judging whether a food is healthy. Some of the respondents said their supportoflabeling was more about accountability in the food industry than the safety

KELLER Continued from Page 1B adapt or be left behind. Harveykept an open mind about how things could be done, avoiding the trap ofbelieving that"this is the way we have always done it." At one point, his supervisor asked him to take on additional responsibilities. Harvey was asked to learn new tasks, to cross train so that when people went on vacation, he could substitute for them. His attitude was that he could never hide behind a job description; his job was what his boss needed him to do. While having solid communication skills were essential, one skill was paramount: the ability to anticipate what the boss wanted. Harvey asked his boss what the department's concerns and issues were. He then presentedto hisboss solutions to problems that had not been addressed. This ability to think ahead and "look around the corner"

everything they want. With his frozen yogurt shop, the children can have some ice cream and the parents have the option of picking up a growler as well. The children are also welcome to play on the big green dinosaur in the front part of the station. "It's been awesome," Bell said."iSwitching to Sinclair) has been the best move I've ever made."

forhisbosssetH arvey apartfrom just about every employee. In many organizations, this ability might threaten the supervisor. But that was not the case with Harvey's boss, who recognized the potential that Harvey had and developed it. Finally, Harvey understood trom his first day on the job that he could either help his employer make, or save money. He decided that he did not want to be a cost, a burden to his employer. He found ways to contribute so that the company could grow even though he was in a low level job that literally anyone could perform. Why is this important? Within Harvey's story are many potential questions you can ask prospective employees who are seeking employment with your company. Hopefully, you might be able to identify individuals with potential, initiative and a willingness to contri bute. Or, perhaps you can use Harvey's lessons to weed out candidates who may well be a burden on your company before you add them to your payroll.

would override any state laws that require the labeling. The food industry has strongly backed Pompeo's bill, arguing labels would be misleading because GMOs are safe. Pompeo said USDA's move shows his approach is gathering support. "I look forward to working with the secretary and with my colleagues in Congress to ensure that we come to the best possible policy to provide families in Kansas and America with clarity at the grocery store and an affordableand abundant food

supply," he said. Consumer advocates who are pushing for mandatory

labeling say the voluntary USDA labels aren't sufficient to help consumers know what is in their food, arguing thatlabelsthatare on some foods but not others could just lead to more confusion. Gary Hirshberg, chairman of the Just Label It campaign and co-founder of the organic yogurt company Stonyfield Farm, said the labels were a small step in the right direction but more is needed. "Mandatory labeling of GMOs would allow consumers to vote with their dollars and have a say in the type of agriculture they would like to see in this country," Hirshberg said.

THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2015 YOUR 8IRTH DAY by Stella Wilder Borntoday,you aresometimes what others call "bigger than life." Indeed, you have such a grand and energetic personalitythat you are sure to be noticed wherever you go, and whatever you do. You enjoy the good things in life, and you will do all you can to surround yourself with the best. Being poor doesn't work for you; the fact that you i ay have been underprivileged in some waywhen you were young is likely to give you tremendous drive and dedication, compellingyou to collect as much in the way of tangible reward as you possibly can in life. You aren't one to expect something for nothing, however; you will always work hard for what you most want. FRIDAY, MAY 22 GEMINI (Mayzl-June 20) - A newphase is beginning. You'll want to get the lay of the land as quick(y — and thoroughly -- as you can. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The more

you think you know what's going on, the bigger the surprise will be when all is finally revealed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to move cautiously into new territory. Proceed according to plan, but know that you i ay havetoim proviseon occasion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want a certain someone to play an important role in your affairs, but you must approach him or her very delicately. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - The very trait you thought was your greatest asset turns into a liability for a time. This is to be expected on occasion! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You i ay not be seeing things as clearly as usual. Your penchantforfairnessi ay abandon you on at least one occasion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You're in the mood for a little more personal development. You can learn a few important lessonsby watching someone older than yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You knowwhat is important and what is not — or do you? You i ay discover that you've overvalued a certain something recently. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You're in for a rough time ifyou insist on doing things your way and only your way. Good ideas come from all around you; listen to them!

AG RCULTU I RE

Mom fears news of ex's abuse will cause split with her son DEAR ABBY: My daughter, "Meg " was sexually abused at the age of 3 by her father 25 years ugo. "Emile"and I were divorced, but he hud every other weekend visitation. After returning from one visit, she said, "Duddy put his ftnger in there. It hurt. I crt'ed."Her wordsforeverchanged my life. After we mude countless trips to the children's hospital and numerous therapists, ajudge allowed supervised visitation. It happened ugain, but Emile told thej udge he wus "putting medicine on her."He remarried shortly after and lost interest in Meg and herbrother,"Ian,"which was a blessing to me, but he'd visit with them occasionally. Emile spent years belittling me and telling lies to the kids about me, but I stayed busy with twojobs and raised them by myself. Meg has no relationship with her father, but her brother does. Ian is now expecting a child and knows nothing about the abuse his sister suffered. I have tried raising the subject with Meg but she won't discuss it. I'm afraid ifI tell Ian, it will cause a breach in our relationship and I'm not sure he would believe me. But how do I not tell him? Please advise me.

Close your wallet and see how your "pen" pal reacts, because you may not be her only benefactor. After she has been released, there's no guarantee your relationship will evolve into love. In fact, she could have a change of heart about committing to someone who's old enough to be her father. Please stop and look both ways before proceeding further.

pay upward of $290 million a year to bring tens of thousands of managed honeybee coloniestotheirgroves, according to the USDA. A recent survey of the nation's beekeepers estimated annual lossesof42 percent,up from 35.2 percent the year before, and well above the 15to 17 percentthat isconsidered economically sustainable. Much of the plan depends on public-private partnerships, education and research. But it also directs multiple agencies to take action, such as managing land in ways that promote pollinator habitats. The Environmental Protection Agency, meanwhile, is weighing the effects of pesticides on honeybees used to pollinate crops,and already is slowing the use of neonicotinoid compounds that have been associated with colony declines.

The USDA will use its Conservation Reserve Program and other tools to expand summer forage areas, accordingto the plan. There are about 2,000-3,000 commercial U.S. beekeepers nationwide, managing about 2.7 million colonies, down fi'om about 5.7 million in the 1950s, according tothereport. Declines in managed bee colonieshave been notedfor decades, but they increased in the late 1980s due to a parasitic mite infestation, and acceleratedsharplyabout 10 years ago, when whole colonies began to collapse, a phenomenon dubbed colony collapse disorder. Annual losses have hovered in the 30 percent range since then. The cause of the sharp declines has been attributed to multiple stressors, includingbeekeeper management practices, pesticide expo-

A task force will try to advance scientific research into causesofthe declines,and to betterquantifythosereported declines, which are based on selfreporting surveysofa smallsample ofbeekeepers. The Pollinator Research Action Plan that accompanied the White House strategy calls on federal agencies to measure fieldlevel exposure to pesticides and other chemicals and bolster research into the effects of those compounds. Those agencies will develop monitoring protocols for diseases, and identify new controlmethods forpestsand pathogens, with a particular focus on the natural microbiome of the insects.
