New fencing around the Elk Creek diversion dam in the Baker CityWatershed, and last summer's cryptosporidium outbreak, are issues discussed by City Council members, staff, news reporters and others who attended Monday's meeting in the mountains about 10 miles west of town.

By Pat Caldwell pcaldyyell©bakercityherald.com

To label Monday's tour by Baker City Council members and city officials of the Elk Creek watershed diversion point as anti-climactic might be an overstatement but the expedition did put to rest some lingering questions regarding fence work around the area. Ostensibly the tour was about dispelling criticism oflack of progress on a city-built fence around the area where the city diverts water from Elk Creek into its supply pipeline. But the excursion also centered on demonstrating that city leaders consider the safety of the town's water to be vital.

The Elk Creek fence issuesprouted into a flash-point matter last month after Mayor Richard Langrell assertedportions ofthe fence were in disreKee pair. At the time, City Manager Mike Kee avowed that city crews had been working on the fence area since last autumn and huge swaths of it were, in fact, rebuilt. Monday's half-day tour showcased portions of a newly-built fence that protects the Elk Creek diversion on three sides. Elk Creek is one of several streams the city taps in its watershedand itbecame the epicenter

of concern last summer during the city's crypto crisis.Onewa tersample acquired from Elk Creek during the crisis contained levelsofcrypto sufficient to trigger sickness. Cattle had crossed the fence and entered the watershed near Elk Creek. A few samples of cattle feces were tested but did not contain crypto. Kee said the tour was important notonlyforelected leadersbutto illustrate to the public that the city staffison top oftheissue. "All I want people to know is, yes, we are working on it," he said Monday.

A recent aerial spraying of pesti cide seems tohave pared Baker City's mosquito population. Matt Hutchinson, who manages the Baker Valley Vector Control District, said this morning that his mosquito traps have been nabbing far fewer skeeters since the aerial spraying June 20 that covered floodirrigated fields just north of town that are prime bugbreeding grounds. Another measure is the number of phone calls he receivesfrom residents tired of swatting and scratching. Hutchinson said he's getting one or two calls per day, compared with four or five per day before the spraying. iThe number, by the way, is 541-523-1151. Hutchinson urgesresidents to leave

a message.) The pesticide handled adult mosquitoes, Hutchinson said. His ultimate goal, though, and the focus of his efforts, is to kill the insects' larvae before they can hatch. To that end, the current lull in flood irrigation makes his task easier. "There's definitely a lot less water right now," Hutchinson said.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 9, 1964 The Baker County Grand Jury, after a one-day session yesterday recommended an attendant be on duty at the countyjail24 hours aday seven days a week. The grand jury earlier recommended a night jailer be provided at the county jail. The budget board made $1,700 available during this fiscal year for a night jailer. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 10, 1989 Baker's Salvation Army facility, after 28 years at1820 Estes St., will move to new quarters in the former Poe Motor Co. building, 2505 Broadway St. According to Lt. Roger Davis, who is the commanding officer of the local unit, the new building will enable the Salvation Army to locate all of its functions under one roof and expand all services. The new building is scheduled to be occupied in earlyAugust. Davis said the 12,000-square-foot building was purchased Wednesday from Robert L. Smith of Baker for $125,000. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 9, 2004 The U.S. Forest Service wants to set new limits on where people can ride four-wheelers, motorcycles and other motorized off-highway vehicles on national forests. The Forest Service's proposed rules, which probably wouldn't take effect for at least a year, would not apply to snowmobiles. Now, motor vehicles are prohibited in wilderness areas, but they're allowed most everywhere else on many national forests, including theWallowa-Whitman and Malheur national forests in Northeastern Oregon. But Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth wants to require each national forest to designate specific roads, trails and off-road areas where people can ride motorized vehicles. Riding would be prohibited everywhere else. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 17, 2013 A standing-room only crowd attended a Baker County Planning Commission meeting Tuesday concerning two wind farms that could be built near Huntington and Lime. The meeting lasted more than four hours. Dozens of residents spoke about the proposals, and most opposed new wind farms. The developers have applied for conditional-use permits. The two wind farms would share a substation and supply electricity to Idaho Power Co.

JOHN OSBORN JR. DIES AT 61

~@'>NQQI

CIIWL @g When you own the town's ice cream shop you're going to get a lot of smiles from your customers. Who can frown, aker all, at the man who hands you a double scoop of rocky road or huckleberry? But John Osborn did a lot more to make people happy than whip up milkshakes at Charley's Ice Cream parlor at Main and Broadway.

Osborn, who died July 2 at age 61, was helping Baker County's children long before he weighed his first bag of jelly beans or jawbreakers at Charley's. He was an assistant Scoutmaster for a quarter century. He served on the sale committees for the Baker County Fair, as well as the Baker County Fair in Halfway. He coached youth baseball and softball for many years. John later turned his restaurant into a Thanksgiving soup kitchen, where he served free meals to

people on the holiday. It's little wonder that John was nominated for Baker County Man of the Year in 2010. We hope Charley's continues to dish out treats for sweet tooths of all ages. But the place won't ever be quite the same without John Osborn standing behind the counter, asking you what'll you have.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: It would be easy to read the most recent unemployment numbers released by the federal Labor Department and conclude the U.S. economy is well beyond the hard times of just a few years ago. Yet behind the basic numberoverall, the unemployment rate is down to 6.1 percent, the lowestit'sbeen in severalyears— there are problems we should not overlook. More than 6.6 million American men and women are either unemployed and actively looking for work or have become discouraged and dropped out of the hunt for a job. That number is actually up from what it was a year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the rate for women is higher than it is for men. Another 5 percent of all workers hold more than one job. Smaller groups have been hard hit and have yet to recover. The unemployment rate for persons with disabilities, for example, stands at 12.9 percent. Worse, only about 20 percentofthecountry'sdisabled population iscounted as part of the civilian labor force. Young menand women, thosethrough age 24,continue to face higher unemployment than the nation as a whole, withunemployment rates forboth men and women under the age of 20 running well above 20 percent and at about 20 percent for thoseages20 through 24. If you're Alrican-American, the unemployment numbers forteens isstaggering — 48.2 percent ofblack teens 16 and 17 years old cannot find work, while the overall rate for black teens 16 through 19 is 38.7 percent. Again, unemployment rates for black teenage women are higher than for men in the same category: Some 39.4 percent ofblack girls 16 through 19 cannot find work, and the ratefor 16-and 17-year-old girlsis astaggering 55.7 percent. For black men 16 through 19, meanwhile, the unemployment rate is slightly better at 37.9 percent, and theratefor 16-and 17-year-oldsis 39.9percent. Overall, the unemployment rate for white Americans of all ages is roughly half that of Alrican-Americans, 5.5 percentas compared to 11.1percent. Clearly, then, while the economy is improving, it would be wrong to say it has recovered completely, or that it has recovered evenly across the board.

How serious is e I WASHINGTON — Manyyears ago I walked into the senatorial offices of Republican John Williams of Delaware and noticed a number ofbig boxes stacked in the hallway. When I inquired ifhe was moving to other quarlers, Williams, a good source and a better friend, grinned and explained that the boxes contained documents that supported his federal income tax filing for the year. "I know they're going to audit me every year so I just pack up all my notes and other records and ship them oK It sort of drives them nuts," he chuckled. There was no need to ask why he would do this. Everyone knew at the time that the man called the"conscience of the Senate" still had enemies in the Internal Revenue Service after taking the lead in an early 1950s congressionalinvestigation that nearly broke up the big tax collection agency and completely altered the wayit worked. As a result of Williams'efforts, 125 convictions for fraud, bribery and extortion and other misdeeds ultimately were handed out to IRS officiais. President Harry Truman was forced to fire the IRS commissioner, T. Lamar Caudle, who also later went to jail for his part in the huge affair. Even after this, members of Congress were cautious about taking on thetaxcollectorsforobviousreasonsjust as they were about too much criticism of the FBfs J. Edgar Hoover. The threat of audits and leaks were as intimidating as what might be contained in Hoover's legendary secret files. Currently, there is a major political debate over just how serious another bur-

BAKER CITY HERALD — 5A

STATE BRIEFING Oregonians cross river to buy legal pot The (La Grande) Observer LA GRANDE — Crews from Oregon Department of Forestry, La Grande Rural Fire Protection District and City of La Grande responded to a wildfire near Fox Hill Road Saturday night. The cause of the fire was illegal fireworks being set off in the area. "It'sso tempting to use fireworks out here where you can see them well, but things are already really

"With the possibility of lightning fires, we can get spread thin pretty quickly. We really need help from everyone out there to keep an eye out and to be safe when visiting our forests," Williams said.

Merkleyraises 1.8millionthisyear SALEM iAPl — U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley's re-election campaign said Monday it will report that the Oregon Democrat raised $1.2 million during the latest fundraising period. The new cash, raised since May 1, brings Merkley's total second-quarter fundraising to $1.8 million when combined with money he raised in April, which was reported before the May 20 primary. The campaign says the report will be filed soon with the Federal Election Commission.

Merkley faces Republican Monica W ehby, a Portland neurosurgeon, in the November election. Merkley is the favoritein a strongly Democratic state, but he has been fighting aggressively to hold onto the seat for a second term. Merkley's campaign reports spending $1.5 million over the last two months. His campaign has been running ads for weeks seeking to tie Wehby to national Republicans and prevent her from definingherselfas a moderateRepublican. Merkley will report having $3.5

million in the bank at the end of June with no debt. Wehby's second-quarter fundraising totals have not yet been made public. She showed early strength in raising money after launching her campaign late last year, exciting Republicans in Washington, D.C., but her campaign has struggled with critical news stories since she won the GOP primary. She's stayed largely out of the public eye since then, focusing heavily on raising money.

Oregon officials: Noauthorityover GMOs PORTLAND — Oregon agriculture officials say the state has no authority over genetically modified crops oncefederalregulatorsdeem them safe for commercial use. In a letter to Gov. John Kitzhaber, the Oregon Department of Agriculture said state law allows it to create "control areas" for genetically engineeredcrops to dealw ith pests and disease. But it can create such areas only for engineeredcrops thatare in thetrialphase. Oflicials say once a crop making use of genetically modified organisms is "deregulated" by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the GMO crop is deemed not to be a carrierofpestsor disease— and the stateloses authority over the crop. In October, Kitzhaber directedthestateAgriculture Department to use its authority to deal with conflicts between engineered and nonengineered crops, including creating a statewide mapping system for GMO field locations, establishing buffer zones and exclusion areas.

Protesters arrested at wood-fired plant EUGENE iAPl — Three people have been arrested in a protest at a wood-burning power plant in Eugene, Oregon. The Register-Guard reports ihttp://is.gd/gvA4n7l that Monday's demonstration included several dozen environmental activists associated with Earth First! and Cascadia Forest Defenders.

The Lane County sherifFs office says it arrested three young men from Eugene. Two of them are accused of locking themselves to equipment inside the plant, with the help of the third protester. They were arrested for investigation of offenses including criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

PORTLAND iAPl — Oregon officials have reached a $2.3 million settlement with a generic drug manufacturer from India over allegations that it sold improperly manufactured prescription drugs in Oregon. The Oregon Department of Justice says it filed the settlement Tuesday with Ranbaxy Laboratories and two afBliated U.S. companies. Officials say no Oregonians are known tohave been harmed by thedrugs,and allthe products are now off the market. As part of the settlement, five state agencies that purchased the allegedly adulterated drugs will receive a full refund. Ranbaxy must also pay $1.4 million to the Department of Justice's consumer protection fund, and $540,000 to the Board of Pharmacy. Oregon's settlement follows a 2013 federaland state government settlement with Ranbaxy for $500 million. Oregon was the lead state in the settlement.

The engineered bentgrass was grown as part of field trials, meaning it wasn't yet deemed safe forcommercial cultivation. Oregon regulators say they can provide input and monitor trials of GMO crops designed to produce vaccines, drugs, enzymes or other medicinal compounds — socalled biopharmaceuticals. But to date, the state hasn't received notification of any biopharmaceutical crop trials in Oregon.

PORTLAND iAPl — Recreational pot is now for sale in Washington state, and that means easy access for many residents of neighboring Oregon. Law enforcement officials say there's nothing stopping Oregonians from buying pot in Washington. They warn, however, that Oregonians who drive home stoned could get busted, just like a drunken driver. It is also illegal to take marijuana purchased in Washingtonback to Oregon for home use,though many customers will probably do just that. The closest legal pot shop to Portland opens Wednesday, just across the Columbia River in Vancouver, Wash. The Oregon State Police say they're not doing anything different torespond toWashington salesofpot.

Several council members said they have heard complaints from city residents regardingLangrell' sperformance. Another point of contention between some council members and Langrell revolved around his stillpending lawsuit against the city regarding more than $9,000 in water and sewer fees that Langrell contends the city owes him. "A number of people wonder why we have a mayor who is suing the city," Mosier said.'They've commented to me it shows a bad light on the city. I haven't enjoyed those conversations and I also, fortherecord,don'tenjoy this conversation. Is it a goodidea tohave the mayor suing our city? The answer is no. I don't know how I can answer any other way." Downing and Johnson also commented they received negative input from voters

regarding Langrell's position as mayor. Dorrah and Coles defended Langrell. Dorrah labeled the entire effort to review Langrell's performanceas "foolishness." Dorrah said he was aware of Langrell's lawsuit against the city. "I'm not sure whatitis all about. Richard has a right to disagree with government. As I see it, Mayor Langrell has representedthe citizens of this community more and better than anyone sitting here," Dorrah said. Coles agreed with Dorrah and saidthe entire effortto rescind Langrell's title as mayor resembled a political coup. "I find it interestmg, Councilor Button, you're the vice-mayor and you are leading the charge. It reminds me of a political coup in a Third World country. You want us to think the way you think and act the way you act," Coles said. At one point the discussion focused on what the city charterstipulatesregarding

how or when a mayor can be removed. The charter, forthe most part,isvague on the issue and appears to delegatethe broad powers to the council on the matter. The charter is clear on giving the council the authority to choose the mayor from among elected councilors. Eventually Downing made the motion to rescind Langrell. "I feel good about it," Downing said after the meeting. "I think this will set our council in the right direction."

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil — Chance after chance was offered, and the Germany players just kept on taking them with clinical efficiency. In the end, not even they could scarcely believe the 7-1 World Cup semifinal win over Brazil. Thomas Mueller opened the scoring in the 11th minute, and then Miroslav Klose's record-breaking 16th W orld Cup career goal triggered a four-goal frenzy in a seven-minute span as Germany took a 5-0 lead inside half an hour on Tuesday. And this was against Brazil, the five-time World Cup champion, playing on home soil. "It was of course not exactly expected. The space we had was bigger than against defensive teams," Mueller said. ewe took advantage of it superbly, the opponent at some point gets broken. Now we have to pull all the stops one more time and lift the thing. We should keep our feet on the ground." Germany will seek its fourth title on Sunday at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana against either Argentina or the Netherlands. Germany is in its first final since losing 2-0 to Brazil in 2002. It finished third in the last two tournaments. Mueller recalled how Germany was criticized

Brazil was shocked afterthe goals, they did not expect that. They did not know what

Germany lost in the semifinals in 2006 at home to Italy and had sympathy for Brazil, with players of the two teams embracing each other after the match and the Germans trying to console the Brazilians.

Virginia Tuesday morning at work to tell her that her house was on fire. S. John Collins / Baker City Herald Allan's four Aut u m n Taylor consoles two of her daughters, Celeena, left, and daughters — Celeena, Katrienna. Jordynn, Briannah and Katrienna — were at the home of their mother, Autumn Taylor, on Colorado Avenue when they learned that their dad's home was burning. The girls spend time between both parents' houses and have duplicate sets ofbelongings including beds, toys and clothing at both places, their mother said. Their upstairs bedroom and everything in it was completely destroyed in the fire. "I'm glad they were with me," Taylor said. Katrienna, who'll be 8 in four days, lost her favorite toy, a"Seat Pet" seatbelt cover she'd had since Christmas. ''We were bawling because our house burned down," Katrienna said in the aftermath of the fire. Jordynn, 10, lost the trophy she received as a Little League all-star softball player just a couple of weeks ago. And Allan lost the flag that had draped the casket ofhis father, a military veteran. As they tried to make the best of the sad day, family members talked about how fortunate they were to have been safely away when the house burned. "It's just things," Virginia Fine said."Things can be replaced." The death of their 13-year-old dog, Jasmine, was a harsh blow to bear as the family waited to see if their three cats and two other dogs had survived. Jasmine, a black Lab-German shepherd mix, was Celeena's dog. She had been given to the 12-year-old as a gift on her first Easter. The dog was found in Allan's upstairs bedroom. The three cats, which also had been inside the house, all had appeareduninjured by about 10:30 a.m. Two dogs,a ShihTzu named Abby,and a golden retrievernamed Jake, were still unaccounted for as firefighters were returning tothe station. The fire started in Virginia's bedroom in the northwest corner of the first floor, said Cliff Hall, Baker City Fire Department assistant chief. An outbuilding on the property was not damaged, but the house, which was built about 1920 according to Baker County Assessor's 0$ce records, was a totalloss,he said.Itwasvalued at$50,000 and was covered by insurance. No estimate on the dollar value of the home's contents was available in time for this story. After hours of sifting through the rubble Tuesday afternoon, investigators determined the fire was started by an overheated power strip and improper use of an extension cord, Sara Blair, firefighter and prevention coordinator,said today.H eavy objectshad been placed on top of the extension cord and the power strip, causing them to overheat, Blair said. Hall said the fire was venting out two of the bedroom windows whenfi refi ghtersarrived Tuesday morning. The ground-level fire was extinguished in about 15 minutes. But before the fire was out, flames had traveled into the shake roof, which had been covered over with tin. 'That's when the real fight started," Hall said, describing how firefighters spent the next three hours stripping the tin off to get to the burning wooden shakes under it. Before leaving the scene, he and Tom Everson, another assistant chief who responded to the fire, checked one last time for any signs the fire might rekindle in the heat of the day. "iShakesl are notorious for holding fire," Hall said. A dozen Baker City firefighters responded to the general alarm and another six to eight &om the Baker Rural Fire Protection District provided mutual aid. None of the firefighters was injured in the effort, Hall said. And temperatures, which reached into the low 90s by the end of the day, remained almost mild while they worked to stop the fire. The temperature hovered around 50 degrees in the early morning and climbed to about 80 before they had finished the job and returned to the station five hours later.

Jason Yohannan, a regional economist with the Oregon Employment Department, is retiring after 30 years with the agency and 25 years in the La Grande office.

• Regional economist set to retire this month after 30 years By Kelly Ducote WesCom News Service

La Grande's office of the Oregon Employment Department will soon lose its seasoned regional economist. Jason Yohannan is set to retire this month after 30 years with the agency and more than 25 at the La Grande office. In 1984, shortly after graduating fiom college, Yohannan took a job with the department's headquarters in Salem. Four years later, he was moving to Northeast Oregon. "It was a promotion for me," Yohannan said."Being a young, eager worker I wanted the pro-

motion, so I applied and got it." He says he had only been to La Grande once before, but the risk had a positive result. "The job was a good fit for me, so I stuck around," he said. Since he arrived in La Grande he has been central to putting out a quarterly newsletter detailing the region's employment data on top ofhisotherduties. "The job's been good. It keeps me busy, it's kind of demanding at times," Yohannan said. Times, though, have definitely changed. ''When I first started 30 years ago, there was no Internet. We

didn't have personal computers," he said. Still, the community has stayed the same in a lot of ways. "Naturalresourcesare still important," he said. With kids at Eastern Oregon University and La Grande High School, Yohannan won't be leaving the area anytime soon but is planning on slowing down to enjoy the little things. "I like the slower pace oflife. It's a great community," he said. "Life is short. If you can take the time to dial back, smell the roses,tousea cliche,that'sa good thing."

f there is one area every business owner wants to see an improvement in, it is sales. Every owner is looking for more quotes, orders, deposits, shipments, collections and revenue. A recent survey published in Business Week stated that the No. 1 challenge of small and midsize business owners is the "lack of sales." There is a formula for sales success, and it applies to every organization. The great thing about using this formula is that it invigorates the tenured salesperson and kick-starts the newbie. The success formula is iE+Pl+ iC+El = R. Those initialsstand foreducation and practice plus confidence and enthusiasm equals results. Many in sales and sales management discount education beyond the essentials. Old-school salespeople may believe nothing but"baptism by fire" really works. Today's buyer is smart and savvy; anyone who sells needs to be smart and savvy to close deals. Learning how to addressthiskind ofbuyer begins with education. Education can take many different styles: reading, watching and listening. Individual learning styles matter. But sales education cannot be a one time thing or a sometime thing; it has to be an ongoing thing. In too many companies, it is a"on your own thing." Take a car to the dealership and count the salespeople standing around hoping a prospectdrivesonto the lot. Answer the phone, and listen while an unprepared salesperson stumbles through a script. Talk to a floundering salesperson who cannot get tractionorhaslosttheir mojo.These salespeople have not been educated enough to know how to do better. The role of the sales manager is to eliminate all excuses for why salespeople aren't selling. That responsibility includes setting the stageforlearning by setting an example to others to follow.

"People who understand quality ingredients and organic, really appreciate it," Vaage said. Dora's Garden was certified as an organic farm in December 2012 by Oregon Tilth, a nonprofit research and education membership organization dedicated to biologically sound and socially equitable agriculture. It was a rigorous and expensive process. "It is worth it to save the environment," Boyd said.'When I buy certified organic, it is not just about what I put into my body, I am voting with my dollars how we treat the Earth." The farm has one-half acre in certified organic produce and berries, 50 acresin certified organic hay and an orchard that employs organic practices. SeeHealthy / Page 2B

MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Eugene marijuana dispensary to stay open, state says By Christian Hill Eugene Register-Guard

EUGENE — State regulatorshave dropped theireffort to shut a medical marijuana dispensary in downtown Eugene. Regulators decided that a complaint that the dispensarywas tooclose to a school was not valid. It was the first time the Oregon Health Authority had sought to revoke the operating license of a dispensary sincestate offi cialsbegan issuing them in March. The Greener Side, at 1553

Oak St., appealed after the state agency notified it in an April 9 letter that it would revoke its license. The agency had received an anonymous email saying the dispensary was operating within 1,000 feet of a school, in violation of state regulations, spokeswoman Karynn Fish said. A letter to the editor published in The Register-Guard raised the same complaint. The letter and email had

similar wording, Fish said. The Oregon Health Authority moved to revoke the license after its employees verified the proximity claim, Thomas Burns, the agency's pharmacy director, wrote in a follow-up letter to the editor of The Register-Guard. But the state has subsequently reversed its position. The state Department of Education helped the health authority build the database of all public schools. The authority turned to the Internet to identify more than 350 private schools. The database listed the main campus of the Network Charter School but not its four satellite locations, Burns wrote. One of those locations, near the intersection of Willamette Street and 15th Avenue, was within 1,000 feetofthe dispensary. The state's online map that uses information from the database actually shows two "schools" within 1,000 feet of the dispensary.

OREGON GMO

PORTLAND — Oregon agriculture officials say the state has no authority over genetically modified crops once federalregulatorsdeem them safefor commercial use. In a letter to Gov. John Kitzhaber, the Oregon Department of Agriculture saidstate law allows itto create"controlareas"forgenetically engineered cropstodealwith pestsand disease. But it can create such areas only for GE crops that are in the trial phase. Officials say once a GE crop is "deregulated" by the U.S. Department of Agricul ture,itisdeemed not to be a carrierofpestsordisease— and the stateloses authority overthecrop. In October, Kitzhaber directed the state Agriculture Department to use its authority to deal with conflicts between GE and non-GE crops, including by creating a statewide mapping system for GMO field locations, establishing buffer zones and exclusion areas. But the department's letter to Kitzhaber shows its authority for dealing with GE issues is limited.

The governor also announced the creationofa task forcetostudy issues related to GMOs, such as mapping and labeling. The move was spurred by several instances of genetic contamination in the region that rendered non-engineered crops unsellable on the export market. It came after lawmakers adopted a bill to ban county governments from regulating GMOs on their own. Jackson County was exempted from the law because a measure already had qualified for the ballot. Residents in that county voted to ban genetically engineered crops in May. Stateregulators say Oregon law does not require farmers to submit cropping information to the state Department of Agriculture, making the mapping of geneticall y engineered crops impossible. The state receives notification of proposed GMO field trials from the USDA — but such notifications often don't include the county where the trials are taking place, and never include

OREGON

Train cars filled with crudeoilareindeed passing through Northeast Oregon, including the city of Pendleton, which has local emergency responders preparing for how to handle a potentially devastating accident. Meanwhile, U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden andJeffMe rldey, both Oregon Democrats, are calling for greater transparency of oil train routes to help firefighters better protect their communities. A federal order in May required railroads to notify the state where exactly some oil trains are traveling — if they are hauling more than 1 million gallons, and only if it comes from the Bakken

region in North Dakota. Railroads submitted their reports to the Office of the State Fire Marshal in June. The information was finally released publicly Thursday, aftertwo companies protested the documents should be kept confidential. But Union Pacific Corp., which operates one primary route in Eastern Oregon, still doesn't have to disclose how many oil trains roll into the region since none of the material is Bakken oil. The company did move 3,278 carloadsofcrude oilacross the state in 2013, accounting forlessthan 1 percent of totalfreight fortheyear. In a recent letter to U.S.

Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, Wyden and Merldey argued the federal order should be expanded to include oil shipments of any size and origin. cWe remain concerned that first-responders in Oregon and elsewhere have inadequate information to protect their communities from potential accidents involving crude-by-rail trains," the senators wrote. Crudeoilmo ves along both of Union Pacific's primary Oregon routes: one following the Interstate 5 corridor from California to Washington state, and another down the Columbia River Gorge from lines that meet near Hermiston.

DES MOINES, IowaThe nation's farmers planted the largest soybean crop on recordthisyearby devoting millions of acres ofland to the crop that had been used for growing corn, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday. Farmers planted 84.8 million acres of soybeans, which was nearly 11 percent more than last year's 76.5 million acres. Among the states that planted record amounts of the crop were Michigan,

About a third of the U.S. soybean crop is exported to China, where there's a large demand for soybeans to feed hogs, poultry, and dairy cows. The change in planting was also due to a drop in corn prices and rise in soybean prices. For much of the last decade, farmers in the primary corn and soybean growing states of the Midwest had greater profit potential with

The GE bentgrass was grown as part of field trials, meaningit wasn'tyet deemed safe forcommercial cultivation. Oregon regulators say they can provide input and monitor trials of GE crops designed to produce vaccines, drugs, enzymes or other medicinal compounds — so-called biopharmaceuticals. But to date, the state hasn't received notification of any biopharmaceutical crop trials in Oregon. Oregonregulatorssay thelegislature could grant them the option to map GMOs or otherwise regulate genetically engineered crops. The governor has said he could introduce new GMOrelated legislation in the 2015 session. And Oregonians could soon have a say on GMO labeling: Proponents of a ballot measure to require the labeling say they have submitted enough signatures to qualify the measure for a statewide vote in November.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — What you study — math and science are a plus — seems to matter more than whether your alma mater is public or private when it comes to aftercollege,according to a report released Tuesday by the Education Department. The survey of the class of 2008, by the National Center forEducation Statistics,provides an interesting snapshot of the nation's educated elite following a crushing economic recession: Overall, college grads reported lower unemployment rates compared with the national average, although black and Asian collegegraduates were tw ice as likely to be out of work than their white classmates. College grads from private four-year schools earned about the same as those from public four-year schools,

about $50,000 a year. But while a paltry 16 percent of students took home degrees in science, technology, engineering or math, or STEM disciplines, those who did were paid significantly

Sophia with a SMILE that you are not close to Stacy, don't know her taste and do not feel comfortable shopping for her. Smiling when you say it should prevent your refusal from appearingconfrontational.

ent fields of study. C.N.Le,a sociologistat the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said Asian students are gravitating toward career fields in math, science and technology that are initially higher paying, which likely explains the higher average salaries by Asian grads. But they might be facing the higher unemploymentrates— almost 12 percent compared with 5.5 percent of white graduatesbecauseofvisa issuesorpolicies by American businesses favoring U.S. citizens. According to the Pew Research Center, nearly threequarters of Asian-American adults were born abroad. Le said there alsoisa "glass-ceiling effect" in the math, science and technology fields."In a lot of cases, STEM jobs have fewer promotion ladders than other positions" in areas like finance or advertising, he sald.
