Oregon, 5A SALEM — House Speaker Tina Kotek unveiled a proposal Monday to gradually raise Oregon's statewide minimum wage to $13 an hour by 2018 and give local governments the right to go higher if they choose. The change would give Oregon the nation's highest minimum wage Jan. 1, when all workers would have to be paid at least $11 an hour, up from the current $9.25.

May rains greened the sagebrush rangelands of Baker County, but with dry weather prevailing the past two weeks, grass is beginning to cure.

Jason Simmons is a firefighter and so youmight figurehewould never complain about too much rain. But there's more to the relationship between rainfall and fire than pointing out that the former can dousethelatter. Indeed, an abundance of rain can exacerbate rather than quell the fire risk, said Simmons, who's the fire management officer for the BLM's Vale District, which includes all the land the agency oversees in Northeastern Oregon. The culprit is grass. At the start of May there wasn't much grass growing in the rangelands that constitute the bulk of the Vale District. But the wet spell that started the second week of May did for those wild grasses what regular sprinkling does for a suburban lawn.

630acresin Hells Canyon /

The Little Basin fire, reported Monday morning near the Dug Bar Road in Hells Canyon, has grown to about 630 acres. The cause of the fire hasn't been determined, but it's likely that people rather than lightning are responsible, said Matt Burks, a spokesman for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The fire is burning mainly in grass on steep slopes. Five fire engines, three helicopters, a single-engine air tanker, one hand crew and the Hot Shot crews from Union and La Grande have been working to extinguish the fire, which is about 10 percent contained.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 17, 1965 The Baker County LivestockAssociation went on record Wednesday night favoring experimental inoculations for elimination of scours among calves and yearlings and decidedto purchase between 500 and 600 doses ofvaccine. The proposal was made and accepted that individual ranchers will be billed for use of the vaccine in their herds. An event scheduled this week is a range development tour in the Keating vicinity Friday commencing at 4 p.m. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 18, 1990 HALFWAY — ThePine-Eagle SchoolBoard approved buying a satellite learning system. The Oregon Ed Net system will be installed for the 199091 school year at a cost of less than $30,000. The system will initially be used to teach Spanish, Japanese,Russian,English and math. Staffdevelopment programs will be available later, according to Superintendent Mike Keown. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 17, 2005 Saying they're tired of the gun control issue costing them defections to the GOP,Baker County Democrats votedThursday to approve a platform resolution in support of gun ownership that they hope the state party will add to its platform. The adoption came after a spirited debate over the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 18, 2014 The spring rain, as it almost always does in Baker County, finally arrived. With the summer solstice just four days away, a soggy storm interrupted what was on pace to be the driest spring around here since World War II. As of 9 a.m. today, almost half an inch of rain had fallen at the Baker City Airport since Tuesday afternoon. That isn't nearly enough to erase the rainfall deficit for June, or for the spring. But the dousing did push the preciptation total, for the period starting April 1, to 1.66 inches.

• Baker City and Baker County have already done so, but the legality is not certain An Oregon legislative committee has signed off on a bill that, if approved by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Kate Brown, would allow certain cities and counties, including Baker City and Baker County, to ban commercial sales of marijuana. Both BakerCity and Baker County have already passed such ordinances, but their legality is uncertain. On Monday the Joint Committee on Implementing Measure 91 unanimously approved House Bill 3400. The bill contains a major revision from earlier versions,one proposed by Sen.Ted Ferrioli,theJohn Day Republican who represents Baker County. The amendment would allow elected officials to ban marijuana dispensaries, whether for medicinal or recreational purposes, in any of the 15 counties, including Baker, where at least 55

BAKER CITY HERALD —3A

Drsughtaidagglicatisn deadlinejune26 SALEM — The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service iNRCSl in Oregon reminds farmers, ranchers and forest landowners in counties that have secured drought declarations from the governorto apply forconservation financial assistance by June 26. Oregon has made available up to $2.5 million in federal funding to assist

producers with limited drought-related conservationpractices. Gov. Kate Brown has declared a drought in the following counties: Baker, Coos, Crook, Deschutes, Douglas, Gillam, Grant, Harney, Jackson, Jefferson, Josephine, Klamath, Lake, Lane, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Wasco and Wheeler.

LOCAL BRIEFING Cody Gyllenberg on WSUhonor roll

Landowners in these counties should submit applications to their local USDA Service Center by June 26 to be considered for funding. The Baker City office is at 3990 Midway Drive. The phone number is 541-523-7121. Drought funding will focus on limited cropland, rangeland and forestry conservationpractices.

PULLMAN, Wash.— Cody Lee Gyllenberg of Baker City was named to the President's Honor Roll at Washington State University for the spring 2015 semester. To be eligible for the honor roll, undergraduate students must be enrolled in a minimum of nine graded hours in a single term at WSU and earn a grade point average of 3.75 or earn a 3.50 cumulative GPA based on 15 cumulative hours of graded work.

through August and September. Yet highfi re danger doesn't automatically equate to lots ofbig blazes. The wildcard in this equation, Simmons and Hawkins said, is lightning. Unlike some parts of the W est, and in particularareas closer to urban centers, peoplecause relatively few fires on the Vale District and the Wallowa-Whitman. Lightning is the primary ignition source, responsible forabout 80 percent ofthe blazesin thosetwo areas. Human-causedfi resm ake up a much higher percentage ofblazes, though, on private lands.So farthisyear,in fact, across Northeastern Oregon, including public and private lands, people have sparked 21 fires, and lightning 12 blazes. 'The rain definitely delayed what would have been a super early start to fire season, but this recent dry weather and the wind has quickly raised the fire danger indices," said Jamie Knight, field forester at the Oregon Department of Forestry office in La Grande. Whether 2015 ends up as a"bad" fire season probably willdepend on how many lightning storms happen, Simmons said. Even more critical, he said, is whether any of those

storms brings lots oflightning but little or no rain. Such storms can spark dozens of fires in a single afternoon, Simmons saidenough to overwhelm local firefighting resources. "It's those multiple-start days that really get us," he sald. The shortage of fire crews probably will become acute this summer, with much of the West dealing with drought, Knight said. "At the national level I wouldanticipate resources, and especially the air tanker leet,willbegetting spread f thin pretty quickly," she said. A fire in Southwestern Oregon has already burned more than 1,200 acres. And onMonday the fi rst large fire of the season was reported in Northeastern Oregon — the Little Basin Fire in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area has burned about 630 acres(see story on Puge1A). Althought the fire is under investigation, officials say the blaze probably was human-caused. Knight and other regional officials hope the blaze is not the beginning of a trend. "Human-caused fires are one thing we can really ask the public's help with, being cautious out there," she said.

Five volunteers are being sought to serve on a committee that will work with the Baker City Council to ensure Sam-0 Swim Center's continuing operation. Here are the five vacancies: One member will have a one-year term, two members will have two-year terms and two members will have three-year terms.

EDITORIAL

oin a WCCBI1 0 BVO1 The rains that distinguished the second half of May turned down the dial a couple of notches on the drought severity in Baker County. But one of the beneficial effects of the wet weather — reducing the risk of wildfire — was short-lived. Worse still, as local fire oKcials explain in a story that starts on Page 1A of today's issue, the longerterm result of the rain is the fire danger will be more acute than it was before the soggy stretch. That's because the rain reinvigorated droughtstunted grass in the county's rangelands and forests. Some of that grass remains lush and green. But it's all but certain that by mid-summer — and perhaps sooner than that — most of the grass will have dried. Dry grass, of course, is easy to ignite. Lightning is the most common ignition source on the public lands that make up about half of Baker County's 2 million acres. We have no control over when, and where, it strikes. But pretty much every other cause can be avoided. Nobody has to leave a campfire that's not doused. Nobody has to toss a cigarette into the brush. In a typical year people are responsible for about 20 percent of fires on public lands in the county, and half or more of the blazes on private property. Each of those fires has the potential to turn into a conflagration. Moreover, every blaze occupies firefighters who aren't available to respond to new fires. And as the fire oKcials pointed out in the story in today's issue, the most dangerous scenario involves multiple fires starting at about the same time. That can force oKcials to choose which fires to respond to, and which have to wait. The latter are the fires that sometimes turn into uncontrollable infernos. We're fortunate that human-caused fires are relatively rare in our county. But until we eliminate thoe blazes, we still have progress to make. Fire season started Tuesday, and additional restrictions are likely as summer progresses. But it's none to soon for everyone to start being scrupulously careful with anything that could spark a flame.

Students would be able to go to college forfree,ifthey agreed topay some oftheirpost-graduate income back to the state. The program would be voluntary. Education is full of novel ideas. The question is: Is pay it forward an improvement? It doesn't sound like it. Pay it forward brims with uncertainties and has a hefty upfront price. One estimate said the program would need $20 million to get started and it would continue to need millions for 20 years, until maybe — maybe — it would become selfsustaining. Legislators haven'tbeen abletoagreethissession on where to find those millions even if there were a more modestpilotto start,The Oregonian reported.Instead,there may be lots more thinking about how it might work. A revised proposal may come back in a year. Here are some things those thinkers should be thinking about. Students who think their future involves a low-paying careerwillhave an incentive to takeadvantage ofthe program. Those who are aiming at more financially rewarding careers will have less incentive to sign up. Those incentives could reduce the chances the program would be sustain-

able. Students may also have less incentive to graduate. They aren't paying for college. They could look for ways to stretch out the experience or abandon it altogether. There would also seem to be less direct accountability under this system for the cost of college. Students and their families are not really paying tuition. That gives them less incentiveto putpressure on collegesand universitiesto keep prices affordable.Pay itforward isn'tdesigned to do anything about price. Does tuition need any more help to get more expensive?

Twenty years ago, drug dealers were seen for what they were — criminal and dangerous elements in our society. They wereshunned by themainst ream. People who sold marijuana were considered losers, in the business ofharming our children. Parents warned their kids to stay away from those known to use drugs. But thanks to the marijuana lobby, what was once scorned is hyped and celebrated — even as the drug has become more potent, with THC, the intoxicating chemical, present at much higher levels than in the 1990s. Dealers run statesanctioneddispensaries,lobby to further legalize their product and receive positive media coverage when doing so. The dangers have gone up and the stigma has gone down. And many in the Republican Party are aiding and abetting in this social collapse. Recently, two prominent California Republicans, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and Rep. Tom McClintock, have taken the lead in helping reverse the long-standing consensus between both parties that marijuana, and other drugs, should remain illegal. A few of the potential 2016 Republican candidatesforpresident areforcefully against legalization, but most have been all over the map on this issue. Yet it is no more a Republican Party or conservative value than it is a Democratic Party or liberal value to help legalize, and thus expand the use of, a dangerous product. Mario Cuomo, the late Democratic governor of New York, spoke out forcefully against legalization. Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy follows in his footstepstoday.Overthe years,others who have opposed legalization include Republicans Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer and Jack Kemp, and think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation, the Hudson Institute and the Claremont Institute. As Reagan said

SALEM — House Speaker Tina Kotek unveiled a proposal Monday to gradually raise Oregon's statewide minimum wage to $13 an hour by 2018 and give local governments the right to go higher if they choose. The changewould give Oregon the nation's highest minimum wage Jan. 1, when all workers would have to be paid at least $11 an hour, up from the current $9.25. The wage floor would go up $1 a year until it hits $13 an hour in 2018. Coming less than a month before lawmakers must wrap up the legislative session, Kotek'sproposalis a longshot. She saidshe hopes to atleaststarta debate that can continue after lawmakers leave Salem. Kotek also acknowledged that raising the minimum wage is viewed skeptically by some ofher fellow

Democrats in the Senate. "It's hard when people are really scraping to get by and we're not taking up important issues," said Kotek, a Portland Democrat."So I'm just trying to make sure this important issue is still there by the end of session." Kotek said raising the minimum wage statewide would get low-income workersacross the state closertoa sustainable wage while allowing jurisdictions with higher costs, like Portland, go further. Business interests and Republicans object to raising the minimum wage or

'They donot have a bookkeeper full time," said Jan Meekcoms, Oregon state director fortheN ational Federation of Independent Businesses, a small business lobby group."They do not have an HR department. The administrative nightmare of keeping track of all this, in different jurisdictions with diferent wages, would be horrific." Advocates of raising the minimum wage haveproposed a ballotmeasure setting it at $15 statewide. Justin Norton-Kertson of the group 15 Now PDX, which proposed the ballot measure, said he welcomed Kotek's proposal. If her bill were topass,the group oflabor and liberal groups pushing for the increase would decide whether to continue pushing aballotmeasure to reach $15.

STATE BRIEFING Oregon loses jobs for first time since 2012 PORTLAND iAPl — Oregon employers took a break when it came to hiring in May. The Employment Department said Tuesday the state posteda seasonally adjusted decline of1,400jobs.It'sthe first monthly drop since September 2012. The department says most industries hired close to their normal numbers, but retailers were a notable exception. They added only 700 jobs last month when an increaseof2,100 isthe seasonal norm. An Employment Department statement says the hiring dip could be payback from strong gains in recent months. At this time last year, Oregon's unemployment rate was about 7 percent. It's now 5.3 percent.

Man trapped under ATV rescued FOSSIL iAPl — Authorities say an Oregon ranch employee was rescued after spending more than a day pinned beneath an overturned ATV. Sheriff Chris Humphreys of Wheeler County says the search began Saturday near the ghost town of Kinzua after it was learned the 52-year-old worker had not been seen for a day. A sherif'sdeputy and alandowner found the worker conscious early Sunday. Humphreys says it took several hours to extricate him because of medical concerns, the weight of the vehicle and the location at the bottom of a ravine. The worker was flown to a Portland hospital by a helicopter that arrived from Redmond. His name and condition have not been released.

State to review public records law SALEM iAPl — Gov. Kate Brown has signed a bill directingthesecretary ofstateto review Oregon'spublic records law and recommend improvements. The measure signed Monday is the first of several ethics bills that Brown requested after she replaced John Kitzhaber as governor in February. Kitzhaber resigned amid allegations his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, used the governor's office to earn lucrative consulting contracts. When the secretary of state's office finishes the review, Brown says she'll use her existing authority to improve the public records system and try to build support for any changes to the law that might be needed. Brown's other ethics bills are still working through the Legislature. They would change the makeup of the Government Ethics Commission and require the governor's partnerto follow ethicslaws.

NBA FINALS

• Golden State closes out Cleveland for franchise's first NBA championship since 1975 By Tom Withers AP Sports WBter

CLEVELAND — As the final seconds ticked ofF and the Warriors began bouncing in celebration on their bench, Stephen Curry looked up and saw LeBron James coming at him. James could do nothing more. He extended a conceding hand and congratulations. Moments later, Curry was hoisting a trophy in the air — one as golden as his team. Revived by Curry, their fresh-faced shooting superstar, and bonded by fi rst-year coach Steve Kerr who made them believe, the Warriors ended a 40-year NBA championship drought on Tuesday night by finishing ofF James and the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6. Curry and finals MVP AndreIguodalascored 25points apiece, Draymond Green recorded a triple-double and the Warriors — using a barrageof3-pointersin the fourth quarter to put Cleveland away — won their first title since 1975 when Gerald Ford was in the White House, disco was in vogue and Rick Barry was flicking in free throws under-handed. And these Warriors are a lot like Barry and his old crew: fluid, balanced, together. Just like Steve Kerr

The Baker Gentry Ford Diamondbacks combined solid pitching and defense with timely hitting to sweep the Milton-Freewater Twins in a summer baseball doubleheader Tuesday afternoon at the Baker Sports Complex. Baker romped to an 11-4 win in the first game, then held ofF a Twins'rally to win the nightcap, 8-5. cWe played clean," Baker Coach Tim Smith said. Baker's doubleheader against John Day set for Friday has been canceled because John Day lacks players. The Diamondbacks return to action Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Sports Complex with a doubleheader against Lakeview.

hoped.

"I'm kind of speechless," said Curry."This is special. To be able to hold this trophy and all the hard work we've put into it this season, this is special. We're definitely a great team and a team that should go down in history as one of the best teams from top to bottom." James, who fell to 2-4 in the finals, didn't hide his dejection. "Doesn't matter if I'm playing in Miami or playing in Cleveland or playing on Mars," he said.'You lose in the finals,it's disappointing." After the Warriors were presented with the glittering Larry OBrien Trophy by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, hundreds of goldand-blue clad Warriors fans inside Quicken Loans Arena serenaded the new champs by singing'War-eee-ers, War-eee-ers" a cry that filled Oracle Arena all season and will greet the team on their return to California. Golden State allowed the Cavs to creep within eight points in the fourth before unleashing a flurry of 3s to ensure there would be no Game 7. Curry's step-back

SAN FRANCISCO — Things havebeen going so bad Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journa(x

The Golden StateWarriors' Stephen Curry (arms raised) and KlayThompson, left, embrace after closing out a series-clinching 105-97 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Tuesday. m ade it 78-68,and afterthe Cavs closed within seven on J.R. Smith's trey, Iguodala, Curry and Klay Thompson each drained one in a span of 81 secondsto make it89-75. Iguodala, who had the added dutyofguarding James, knocked down another long shotforgood measure before he strutted back on defense holding out three fingers on each hand. He could have shot an index finger into the air at that point — Golden State is No. 1. "This has been a long ride," Iguodala said."It's been a great season." While Golden State's drought ended, Cleveland's half-century of sports misery rolls on. James returned from Miami last summer to deliver a title to his home region, but the 30-year-old superstar, left to do most of the work after All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were injured

in the postseason, came two wins shy of giving Cleveland its first pro sports championship since 1964. The city's three pro teams — the Cavs, Browns and Indians — have gone a combined 144 seasons without one of them winning it all. It's not that James didn't do everything possible.He finished with 32 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists and was dominant throughout the series, showing why he's the world' sbestplayer. The Warriors were simply thebetterteam. cWe ran out of talent," said James, who sat facing his locker with a towel over his head for nearly an hour after the game.cWe gave everything we had." This series, which opened with two overtime games in Oakland,flipped when Kerr employed a small lineup in

the fourth quarter of Game 3 and the Warriors nearly overcame a 20-point deficit before losing. Kerr stuck with revamped lineup in Game 4, giving Iguodala his first start this season, switching Green to center and benching the ineffective Andrew Bogut. The move was as golden as the Warriors, who finished with 83 wins, the third-highest single-season total in history. Only the 1995-96 and 1996-97 Bulls won more, and Kerr was on both of those teams. The factthatIguodala, their sixth man, took MVP honors perhaps sums up the Warriors best.

TUKWILA, Wash.— Rodney Wallace scored in the 10th minute of extra time to help the Portland Timbers beat the Seattle Sounders 3-1 in a fourth round U.S. Open Cupgame Tuesday night. The defending Cup champion Sounders fi nished the game with just seven players. Defender Brad Evans was ejected in the 69th minute with his second yellow card. Forward Obafemi Martins, who tied the game 1-1 in the 79th minute, went down hard in the 85th. He eventually was wheeled away on a stretcher. By then, Seattle had used all three of its substitutions. In the 111th minute, Seattle's Michael Aziri was shown a straight red card. Moments later, Clint Dempsey got one yellow and then, after grabbing a piece of paper from refereeDaniel Radford,a red.

OECC launchesinformation Ore on Senate OKs camnaignailoutmariiuanaas retirement an i legaliiationdateaggroaches By Mac McLean

In anticipation oflegalized recreational marijuana beginning next month, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has launched a public information campaign to educate Oregonians about what is legal and illegal under the new state law. The campaign, What's Legal? Educate Before You Recreate, providesinformation tohelp people be in compliance and understand their rights. Beginning July 1, adults 21 and older can legally possess and use recreational marijuana: You can use recreational marijuana at home or on private property. Public use is illegal. You can possess up to 8 ounces

of usable marijuana in your home and up to 1 ounce outside the home. Driving under the influence of marijuana remains illegal. You can grow up to four plants perresidence,outofpublicview. You can share or give away recreational marijuana. You can't sell it or buy it until licensed retail shops open. You can't take marijuana in or out of the state. You can make edible products at home or receive them as giks, but you can still only use them in private places. Certainaspectsofthelaw are still being determined, including details regarding the legal sale

People who do not have access to a pension plan, 401ikl or individual retirement account through their employerscame one step closer togetting some helpTuesday when the Oregon Senate voted narrowly in favor of a bill that would create a new statemanaged retirement savings plan they could use starting July 2017. "Nearly half of all Oregonians do not have a retirement plan at work," saidSen.Lee Beyer,D-Springfield, who carried the legislation through the Senate, which passed it 17-13. 'Too many Americans and too many Oregonians are not saving enough money for their retirement.... This bill makes it easier ifor them) to save." House Bill 2960, which passed the House 32-26 on June 10, is now on its way to Gov. Kate Brown's desk. The bill creates a seven-member Oregon Retirement Savings Board and tasks it with creating a statemanaged retirement savings plan that would: • Feature an automatic payroll deduction employees can change or cancel whenever they choose. • Give employees the chance to automatically increase the size of this deduction year after year. • Be portableso em ployees could take it with them as they move from

''We designed this campaign to be as informative as possible and non-judgmental. W e're here to be the go-to resource forpeople about the law,"Steve M arks, executive directorof OLCC, said in a news release. "Knowing that some aspects are still being figured out, we're asking Oregonians to help us by keeping themselves up to date and sharing information with others, as well as taking a'be responsible' approach ifthere's ever a question or doubt."

Umatilla ordinancediscouragespanhandlers By Jade McDowell East Oregonian

PENDLETON — A Umatilla ordinance meant to discourage panhandling seems to have stoppeditaltogether. "I'm not sure where they've gone," city manager Bob Ward said. In May the city council adopted an ordinance that prohibits the transfer of items between a pedestrianand a vehicle in the lane oftravel. Several residents in the city northwest of Pend-

leton had complained about panhandlers causing a nuisance where the Interstate 82 o&amp connects with Highway 730. Since the ordinance didn't ban panhandling, which is constitutionally protected free speech, Ward said he expected to see those who frequented the o&amp on a near-daily basis move to a new location where cars could legally pull over to hand them money. Instead, he said he hasn't personally seen any panhandlers in town recently.

fourth have less than $1,000. He said senior citizens who have not saved enough money for retirement endup draining money &om safety-net programs such as Medicaid and food stamps because they do not earn enough money from Social Securitytocovertheir expenses. But although House Bill 2960 gained endorsements &om AARP Oregon, the Oregon Nurses Association, SEIU Local 503 and other organizations, it faced fierce opposition &om Republicans in both the Senate and the House. "This is not the right direction to go," said state Sen. Tim Knopp, RBend, who voted against the bill along with state Reps. Knute Buehler, RBend; Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte; and GeneWhisnant,R-Sunriver.'We can and we should be doing better." Knopp said employers already have accessto dozens ofprivately managed retirement plans and the "government-run option isponsored by Beyer l does not need to be one of them." He and Senate Republicans also said there was no guarantee the proposedretirement savings plan would be exempt &om protections contained in the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1975 — which could make the state and any employer that offered a retirement plan susceptible to lawsuits disgruntled beneficiaries could file in federal court. Knopp and Senate Republicans proposed an amendment that would delay the plan's creation until after these exemptions had been guaranteed. Beyer and the plan's supporters said this amendment was fiivolous because there was no way to find out whether these exemptions would be granteduntilafterthe task forcecreated its retirement savings plan. They also said the bill already contains language that bars the retirement savings board from doing anything that would place a financial burden on state government or employers that offerthe plan.

MainStreetannounces winner of first public art project La GrandeMain Streetdowntown announced the first public art project has been awarded to retired Eastern Oregon University professor Judd Koehn, owner of Happy Walrus Art Ranch in Summerville. Koehn's winning design depicts four different hats that represent the history of the downtown historic commercial district in La Grande. The bronze sculptures will be done in a unique style while still retaining thepropertiesoftraditional bronze sculpture, according to a pressrelease from LGMSD. The design is especially appropriate for the site, which is in the heart of La Grande's Commercial Historic Zone. The art, once in place, will enhance the historic district and provide an opportumty for whimsical photos. Tim Dalton, Main Street manager for historic Kennewick, Washington, said whimsical art"that lends itself to a'selfie' photo is currentlyvery popular." Public art enhances the livability and vibrancy of pedestrian areas and has been proven to increase spending along Main Street. eWe are looking at this project as a catalyst to get the art engine moving," said La Grande Main Street Director Saira Siddiqui."If this project is well received, we will be looking for future public art opportunities down the road." The fact that so many artists submitted fi rst-rateproposalsisa positive sign, especially considering the relatively small

budget, Siddiqui said. 'This is truly a community effort and I think everyone will be very pleased when the art is unveiled this summer," she said. eWe encourage all artists who entered a proposalto stay tuned forfutureopportunities."

The 17th annual SolWest Fair is coming to the Union County Fairgrounds and the organizers of the event promise an even bigger fair than last year. The SolWest Fair is an event topromote alternativeenergy like solar-powered systems and wind-generated systems to the community. "It's a sustainable,renewable energy-type fair," said Steve Bartell, who was instrumental in the planning of the fair and owns Bubbles Laundry, which has both a solarpowered system forhot water and for electricity on its roof. Bartell said there will be vendors there to help anyone who is interested in installing a solarpowered system, aswell as workshops provided for both adults and children to teach them aboutwhat the renewable energy group has to offer. cWe're trying to bring awareness to the community about all the different opportunities and options," Bartell said.eWe're trying to give them different optionsto getthem offofcarbonbased energy, coal, petroleum and natural gas."

• "If I take a part-time job at a lower salary, will it cause my Social Security benefit to go down? Social Security benefits are based on how much you have earned over the years and when you decide to draw benefits. The short answer to the question is if you continue to earn, it could increase your Social Security benefit and working parttime will never cause your benefit to go down.

How benefits are calculated

The best part of what the fair is, is to make people realize that energy is one of our biggest opportunities to develop industries here that are sustainable," he said.

The in-depth answer lies in how the benefits are calculated. Your Social Security benefits are based on your lifetime earnings. The Social Security Administration then narrows it down to your highest 35 years of earnings. This is based on earnings as reported by your employers over the years, or as reported on your tax return if you are self-employed. If you have not worked for 35 years, any missing years are filled in with zeroes. Each year's earnings are then multiplied by an indexingfactorto adjustfor inflation. iThe index calculation method is very complicated — check it out in detail on the Social Security website — www.ssa.gov/ — if you want the gory details.) Here is an example that demonstrates the benefit of theindexing factor:Ifa person born in 1946 earned

It took a little convincing at first, but Jordan McDonald was able to persuade his wife, McKennon, to replace her old Toyota Corolla with a 100-percentelectricNissan Leaf in December 2013. "I kind of forced her into it," Jordan said, with a chuckle."It was for the fuel and maintenance savings, really." Six months later, the Pendleton couple invested in their second electric vehicle, a hybrid Chevy Volt, which McKennon drives regularly to Helix and back for work. The car has enough range to make the 35-mile round trip entirely on electricity beforeswitching overtoitscom bined gasoline engine. As for the Leaf Jordan said he can usually get between 80-90 miles on each charge — great for shorter commutes, but a bit more stressful on excursions to, say, Portland, a solid 210 miles away. Without the same abundance of public charging stations as found along the Interstate 5 corridor, electric cars remain a relatively subdued industry in Eastern Oregon where

m ajor population centers arespread farapart.Bu tdevelopers are working to expand that network, with a highpower station installed last year in Arlington and Thursday's ribbon cutting for the new Tesla Supercharger at Wildhorse Resort & Casino on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Until there's more public charging infrastructure locally, Jordan said the Leaf is relegated to commuter duty. eYou can drive to Hermiston and back without charging. Those are safe trips to make," he said.cWalla Walla is really on the edge of its range." The Oregon Department of Transportation has already spent big bucks to overcome "range anxiety" on the west side ofthe state. Art James, senior project executive for the department's OIIIce of Innovative Partnerships, said they secured $3.34 million 6om the U.S. Department of Transportation to install 34 charging stations along the coast, into central Oregon at Madras and Redmond and on Interstate 84 to The Dalles. The last of those stations were finished in April. Now, James said that momentum SeePlug / Page 2B

"Itsortoftracksby the number of registered electric vehicles," James said.'You get over to Eastern Oregon, and almost all of the counties have zero or fewer than 20 vehicles registered." According to ODOT, Umatilla County has 21-50 registered electric vehicles. No other Eastern Oregon county has more than 20.

"It's nice to pass the gas station, butyou have to make the leap," Erickson said."I think it's the wave of the future."

He figures he saves 20 increase in his electricity bills. "I think the charging system is basically like an economic development tool," Campbell said."For a shopping center or motel, it really attracts business." Erickson agrees, and said he hopes some forward-thinking chambers of commerce will start latching on to the development — especially as more efficient batteries and newer model Teslas become m ore aff ordable(anew Tesla Model S currently fetches ap-

This figure is then multiplied by three differentpercentages, which are called "bend points," to arrive atthe primary insurance amount which is the amount you can draw from Social Security at your full retirement

age. Full retirement age for people born between 1943 and 1965 is age 66.

W hat, exactly,are 'bend points'? So what are these "bend points?" According to the website, www. fairmark.com, the "bend point" formula is "designedtoreplace a higher percentageofearnings for people at lower levels," and "athigher levelsofearnings the formula provides higher benefits, but the percentage of the benefit relative to AIME declines." The earnings levels where percentages change are calledbend points because in graph form the benefits would have a bend in the line at those points. Back to our original question: If I keep working, will my Social Security benefit go up? It depends on your earnings history. If you already have 35 years of earnings, an additional year of earnings goes onto your record. If the additi onal earnings are

"The system is not intended as a substitute for private savings, pension plans and insurance protection. Itis,rather, intended as the foundation upon which these other forms ofprotection can be soundly built. Thus, the individual's own work, his planning and his thrift will bring him a higher standard of living upon his retirement, or his family a higher standard of living in the event of his death, than would otherwise be the case. Hence the system both encourages thrift and self-reliance, and helps to prevent destitution in our national life." — Jan. 14, 1954

OAK ISLAND, N.C. -

Beachgoers cautiously returnedto theocean Monday after two young people lost limbs in separate, life-threatening shark attacks in the same town in North Carolina. A 12-year-old girl lost her left arm below the elbow and suffered a leg injury Sunday afternoon; then about an hour and 20 minutes later and 2 miles away, a shark bitofftheleft arm above the elbow of a 16-year-old boy. Both had been swimming about 20 yards offshore, in waist-deep water. A shark expert says the best responseafteroneofthese extremelyrareattacksisto temporarily dose beaches that lack lifeguards. Iucal officials acknowledged Monday that they didn't make a concerted effort to warn people up and down the town's beaches until after thesecond attack. Most beachgoers near the spot alongside a fishing pier where the first victim was attacked were staying in very shallow water or on the sand Monday. Holly Helmig, 39, of Raleigh watched her 6-yearold son bobbing on a boogie board in shin-deep water instead of splashing in the waves farther out. Her 5-yearold daughter Zoe shoveled sand in a bucket next to her. "Ifeelbad forthe shark but I think he's hiding somewhere in the ocean," Zoe said. Deputies saw a 7-foot shark Sunday in an area between the two places where the attacks happened, Sheriff

John Ingram said. Sharks of that size are common along the coast, Oak Island Town Manager Tim Holloman said, and authorities arenot trying to hunt one down. But safety officials scouted forsharks from boats and a helicopter Monday. One was spottedMonday morning, Holloman said. Recordingsof911calls released Monday include several people calling each attack in, some sounding nearly hysterical. The victims — a girl from Asheboro and a boy from Colorado Springs, Colorado — were bleeding heavily, and other beachgoers applied makeshift tourniquets. "His arm is gone!" one upsetfemale caller nearwhere the boy was attacked. Randy Giles, 52, was sitting on the sand with his fiancee, Schalane Wolford, when he heard the girl scream, and called 911immediately, before she was carried to the beach. "At first I thought it was a jellyfish sting, but when (the man next to herl pulled her out of the water, she was bleeding and a lot ofher arm was bit ofE so I knew it was a shark," Giles said.

As people screamed toget out of the water, Giles said W olford ran overto give the family her towels, and someone else used a cord from a boogie board as a tourniquet forthe girl'sarm. After the second attack, town employees dmve along beaches urgingpeople to get out, but the instructions were voluntary and notmandatory. Thetown has no ordinmce authorizingofficiais to order the surf cleazedevenifsharkspresent a thzeat, Holloman said.As a result, they take their duection from a state law guarmteeing public access to beaches. Justfourdaysearlier,a 13-year-old girl suffered small lacerations on her foot finm a shark bite on Ocean Isle Beach, about 15 miles finm Oak Island. Both towns are on barrier islands justoff the coast. Surgeons amputated the girl's left arm below her elbow, and she has tissue damage to her lower Ieftleg. The boy's left arm was removed below his left shoulder. Bothwerein good condition Monday at the New Hanover Regional Medical Centerin Wilmington, where Dr. Borden Hooks operated on both victims.
