BCLA to consider livestock losses The Baker County LivestockAssociation will meetThursday to continue talking about how to help ranchers who've lost livestock and grazing land in the wildfires burning throughout Baker County. The livestock association will meet at 6 p m. Thursday at GeiserPollman Park. Jake Bingham, livestock association president, saidTuesday that ranchers are still assessing their losses this week. "I would hope any needs would be brought to us so we can see how we can help," he said. For more information, call Bingham at 541-4031735. Some producers attended a Monday night meeting with representatives from the USDA Farm Service Agency and the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Bingham said. Those representatives also are scheduled to attend the Thursday night meeting at the park. Curtis Martin is working through the Oregon Cattlemen's Association in establishing a fire victims relief fund to help all ranchers across Oregon who have lost livestock or grazing land in the fires. Martin said those who would like to contribute to the fund can call the OCA at 503361-8941.

She works with Jay Matsen, Heli Quest air support group supervisor, on which frequencies will be used to order helicopter flights to and from the Cornet and Windy Ridge fires.

Gary Wiltrout has been flying planes since he was 19 years old fighting in the Vietnam War. Forty-eight years later, on a smoky morning at the Baker City Airport, you can still find him in the cockpit. Now, he prides
himself on flying the same helicopters asthepresident of the United States. "Except his are a little more spiffy on the inside than ours,"Wiltrout jokes. But Wiltrout's Sikorsky S-61 gets put to a slightly different use than its White House counterparts.
Wiltrout and his co-pilot Justine Jarrell spend their summer days at the control yoke, hundreds of feet above the flames. This week, they've been fighting the Cornet-WindyRidge Complex fire. As of this morning, the Cornet-Windy Ridge Fire has
burned 103,540 acres, and is 45 percent contained. Jarrell, 30, has been fighting fire from the air for nine seasons. Aerial firefighting is a bit of a boys club, she says, but she enjoys the work. See Choppers IPage6A

West Nile virus has returned to Baker County, but so farthediseasehas beenconfi rmed only in mosquitoes. A"pool" of 10 to 50 mosquitoes collected Aug. 12 fromatrap setup about five miles north of Baker City tested positive forthe virus,said Matt Hutchinson, manager of the Baker Valley Vector Control District. The trap is one of 30 that Hutchinson and his crew distribute throughout the 200,000-acre Vector Control District, which includes most of Baker, Bowen and Keating valleys. Hutchinson said earlier this summer that it was quite possible that West Nile would show up here, at least in mosquitoes, since the virus was confirmed during July in Union, Malheur and Umatilla counties in Oregon, as well as in five counties in Western Idaho, including ones that border Baker County. Aug. 12 is relatively late forthe firstpositive testof the virus in mosquitoes. In 2014, for instance, West Nile was first detected in two pools of mosquitoes trapped July 21 in Keating
Valley.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 19, 1965 The Baker County LivestockAssociation last night gave blanket authority to Harold Hursh of Huntington to speak on behalf of the association at a highway department meeting in Salem today. The Burnt River Irrigation District and the Bureau of Reclamation are meeting with state highway department officials today to discuss problems created by proposed Interstate 80N. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 20, 1990 Getting a second chance is what the Baker CountyTeen Court is all about. The program offers youth another means of repaying society rather than spending time in a juvenile delinquent school or paying back in other ways. The court is directed toward first-time juvenile misdemeanants and traffic law violators, said Larry Cole, Baker City justice of the peace. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald August 19, 2005 Better enjoy your campfire this weekend. It might be your last chance for a while to toast marshmallows the old-fashioned way. Starting at 12:01 a.m. Monday, campfires will be prohibited everywhere on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in Oregon, said Ken Rockwell, the forest's fuels program manager. That means you can't light a fire even in a designated campground or in the Eagle CapWilderness. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald August 20, 2014 The National Historic OregonTrail Interpretive Center near Baker City will play host to an episode of TLC's "Who Do YouThinkYou Are?" tonight at 9 o'clock. The actor Kelsey Grammer will explore his genealogy and find that his ancestors journeyed West on the Trail. Shooting for the episode took place in May, when Grammer and a small filming crew from Los Angeles arrived at the center.
WW JOHN DAY — Oregon Department of Transportation maintenance crews are w orking toreplacedamaged infrastructure and to remove hazard trees in an effort to reopen the Dooley Mountain Highway and Highway 395 by the end of the week. The Dooley Mountain Highway iOregon245lhasbeen closed for about a week because of the Cornet and Windy Ridge fires.U.S. Highway 395 between Canyon City and Seneca has been closed since Aug. 13 because of the Canyon CreekComplex fi re. ODOT crews are working this week toreplaceabout two dozen signs and severalsectionsofguardraildestroyed by thefi re,Tom Strandberg,an ODOT
spokesman statedin apressrelease. Tree falling teams and other crew membersalso willrem oved more than 100 fire damaged trees and remove fallen rocks that pose hazards. Similar work is being done on Highway 395, Strandberg said. The Dooley Mountain Highway is expectedtoreopen toregularday and nighttime travel, with delays of up to 20 minutes as repair work continues, Strandbergsaid.He advised travelersto watch for flaggers, crews and equipment. ODOT will use pilot cars to escort travelers between Canyon City and the Seneca side of the fire via Highway 395 during daylight hours only. That operation is expected to begin Friday
and to continue for a week or more. Two pilot cars will run the route, one in each direction, atreduced speeds,Strandberg sald. Travelers can expect delays ofup to an hour or more while waiting for the next pilot car, plus additional delays because of reduced speeds. The route will be reopened to traffic onceitisdeemed safe forregulartravel, Strandberg said. ODOT asks homeowners to wait until the pilot car operation begins on Highway 395before attempting totravelto their property. Travelers are advised to check TripCheck.com for a report on the most recent highway conditions.
Mercury continue to rise in micIvalley CORVALLIS iAPl — High temperatures returned to the midvalley with a vengeance on Tuesday, with the mercury hovering near the century mark and expected to hit the mid- to upper 90s again today. "Our air is coming out of the east, and that's something that generally gives us
pretty hot temperatures," said Amanda Bowen, a meteorologist with the Portland office of the National Weather Service. The agency issued an excessive heat warning for the entire Willamette Valley region until 9 p.m. Tuesday and a heat advisory continuing through 6 o'clock to-
night. Part of the problem is that nighttime temperaturesare notexpected to drop as much as usual, remaining in the 60s or upper 50s overnight, making it harder for sweltering valley dwellers to chill out after a scorching day. There have been a lot more of those days than usual this year.

KLAMATH FALLS (APl — Haggen Foods announced Friday thatit's closing 27 ofits 164 stores and laying otf hundreds of employees across the West in an effort to"streamline and improve operations." The Baker City store, formerlyAlbertsons, is not scheduled for dosure, Mark Ruberti, general manager, said Monday. The revamped Baker City grocery store opened under the Haggen name on May 15. In Oregon, two Klamath Falls stores and one each at Keizer, Tualatin and Grants Pass will dose in the next 60 days. The announcement of the closures suggests a grocery chain that might be on the ropes, only months atter becoming a heavyweight. The Bellingham, Washington-based grocer grew to nine times its previous size this spring, taking over stores cast otfby the Safeway-Albertsons merger. Though Haggenisfarfm m knocked out (it will still operate 137 stores in five states atter this round of closuresl, industry observers worry this could be a sign of more problems ahead. When Haggen opened its new stores in former Albertsons and Safeway locations in recent months, shoppers in many placescomplained ofhigh pricesand a shopping environment that didn't change
much fmm the previous stores.
Impossible parameters KevinCoupe,authoroffood-industry newsletter Morning News Beat and adjunct faculty member at PSU's center for retail leadership, thinks the Haggen acquisitions might have been doomed fiom the start. When the Federal Trade Commission required Safeway and Albertsons to sell otf168 oftheirstoresbeforem erging, the commission also issued a deadline to Haggen, the bulk buyer of the stores: It had to take over all the new stores in four months' time. That's 146 stores in 120 days for what had been arelatively small regional chain. The requirements of the deal almost m ade itimpossi bleforthem to succeed," Coupe said."Ifyou tell me that I've got to drive my car fmm Portland to Connecticut, but you've got to do itin four days, going no more than 50 miles per hour, it's probably not going to happen. I'm not going to take that bet. You're creating parameters under which I can't possibly succeed. But Haggen agreed to the plan, converting some stores in as little as 36 hours. That's not much time to remodel a grocery store. And it showed. "Other than changing the name on the
doorand upgrading afew departments, they didn't do much," Coupe said. Cosmetics aside, Coupe said there was not enough to distingmsh Haggen stores fmm competitors. 'The private selection isn'tgreat,the prices are too high and I'm not coming back," shoppers would tell him.'You don't get a second chance to make a first impression."
What's next? So what's next for Haggen? For now, the executives just want a healthy, stable company. "By making the tough choice to close and sell some stores, we will be able to investin stores that have the potential to thrive under the Haggen banner," said Bill Shaner, Haggen's chiefexecutive for its pacific southwestregion. But the mad to a healthy, stable company could indude a change in management, Coupe says. Haggen has two CEOs at the moment — one for the northernregion and one for its southern region. Coupe said Haggenjust needs one big boss. "I'dbelooking foroneguy,and I'd be looking for arock star who can turn these places amund overnight," he said. Meanwhile, Haggen has to avoid a slow, downward spiral.

After this quick and amazingly efficient evacuation, all of them and more offered us open-ended accommodations.

Fred Kelly Grant has listed "success after success" over the years in which the coordinationprocess was used by local agencies across the West to block grazing restrictions on federal land, reverse forest closures or to get federal agencies to back off from protected-species restrictions. This is one of the greatest opportunities Eastern Oregon has. The ability to learn from a man who has been doing this for 25 years along with others he has trained and who have become successful in using coordination in their own countries for over 20 years. We are bringing this to Baker City to help Eastern Oregon Businesses, Organizations and Countries learn what makes the mandatory Coordination processwith Federal and State Agencies a necessary tool for successful working relationship.

Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:
Health care for veterans has had the wrong foe: veterans. Employees at Veterans Afairs falsified logs of patient wait times. Top oKcials at the VA resigned. And the program that was supposed to improve care for veterans — called Veterans Choice — has been racking up frustration. Central Oregon veterans say they have spent hours on hold and that necessary information is not getting in hands ofhealth care providers, according to an article by Tara Bannow in Saturday's Bulletin. What was shocking was that things were not getting better. The New York Times reported in June that the number of veterans on waiting lists of one month or more was 50 percent higher than it was during the height oflast year's problems. Inadequate resources met rising demand and the result was more mess. So when weread Saturday some new promises and goals for Veterans Choice, this time, the VA better start getting things right. TriWest Healthcare Alliance is in charge of establishing Veterans Choice contracts in Oregon and 27 other states. David McIntyre Jr., the company's CEO, said last week in Bend the company is trying to get the program to work right. One goal is to get wait times for veterans between the time they request an appointment and getting one scheduled down to five
days. We hope the assurances are more thanjust a palliative to smooth over a history of problems. The VA and TriWest need to ensure what's broken is fixed. To quote President Obama, our country needs to keep "the promises that we've made to everybody who signs up to serve."

Trum: Li ePerot, utworse 2016 looks remarkably like 1992: an election with a Bush, a Clinton and an uncontrollable billionaire. The last time around the unscripted business mogul changed the nature of the campaign; this time he could cost the Republican Party the presidency. Ross Perot entered the race in February 1992, taking on two unpopular opponents: Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. After leading through the entire month of June,he dropped out,dropped back in, and ultimately received the highest third-party vote share since 1912: a stunning 18.9 percent. Perot's traction with theelectorate led Clinton and Bush to address issues — including the federal budget deficit — they might not have otherwise. His success also led then-Rep. Newt Gingrich to propose his Contract With America, a policy platform that ignored social issues in favor of political reform, including the sweeping changes to congressionalprocessthathave played a largepart in the current gridlock. But, contrary to popular belief, Perot was not responsible for Clinton's victory. On Election Day, Perot supporters split right down the middle in their second choice. This fact shouldn't really surprise anyone, because Perot's appeal was nonpartisan. He promised to fix the mess both major parties had gotten the country into: unbalanced budgets, lost manufacturing jobs, a political process
RONALD B. RAPOPORT WALTER J. STONE reserved for wealthy lobbyists. Sound familiar? Sound, specifically, like Donald Tfuinp?
Trump, like Perot, is an equal-opportunity critic. But if he decides to run as an independent — a possibility he refused to rule out at the first Republican debate — he probably won't have a Perot-like balanced effect on the contest. A recent Washington PostJABC poll shows that in a three-way race, Trump increases Hillary Rodham Clinton's edge over Jeb Bush to 16 percentage pointsfrom 6 percentage pointsin a two-way race. And according to a recent Rasmussen poll, 1 in 5 Republicans say they are"verylikely"to votefor aTrump-led third-party effort, while less than 10 percent of Democrats say the same. There is good reason, beyond polling data, to expect a Trump independent candidacy to hurt Republicans more than Democrats: his agenda. Trump's signature issue is immigration. He, ofcourse,favors ahardline approach, insisting without evidence that the Mexican government is sending criminals across the border. Unlike Perot's emphasis on trade and the deficit, which drew support from both Republicans
and Democrats, Trump's talking points exploit a deep division specific to the Republican Party. A recent Pew survey found that a third of Republicans, and half of the most active Republicans, do not support any path to citizenship. A comprehensive immigration reform bill (which has passed in the Senate and which Speaker John Boehner says is a top priority for the House) would further alienate anti-immigration Republicans from their party and further reinforce Trump'sappealto theconservative base. W ith eight to 10 statesup forgrabs, and the Republican candidate quite possibly tethered to a comprehensive immigration reform bill — either Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio would have trouble shedding a pro-immigration reform reputation — a Trump independent candidacycould do realdamage tothe GOP. If Trump attracted even 5 percent ofthevote,he could decidetheelection in Clinton's favor. No wonder Republicans are worried. Rorudd B. Rapoport arrd Walter J.

Your views Oppositi on's tactics go 'well beyond the pale' We are truly blessed in this country that there is no penalty for ignorance or being uninformed. Otherwise our jails would be full. Oflate there have been letters and blogs bombarding the citizens of Sumpter. Uninformed individuals choose to takeworn-out gossip asgospel,instead of attending meetings. Many of these letters and blogs are being written by people who have never attended Council, Planning Commission or workshop meetings since I have been mayor. All they can rely on is the gossip distributed by their cronies. Last Tuesday's (Aug. 11) Council m eeting was attended by agroup of people, including an employee of the City, wearing matching T-shirts with assault rifles imprinted on the back with"tight knit redneck group" written below. These 10 or so individuals came to harass and threaten those they disagreewith.Shamefulwhen our own City employees participate in this type of mob mentality and write on Facebook how they wish they could have smashed in some teeth. I don't dispute anyone's right to attempt arecallorhavefree speech,but to blatantly lie to those from whom you areattempting to gain signaturesis disgusting. There are even rumors that some are trying to gain votes against me by offering financial gain. That goes well beyond the pale.

There is much misinformation surrounding the lawsuit. If the lawsuit causes the City to go broke, we will deal with the aftermath — with a new and better Council! And by the way, if too many of the Council are recalled to make a quorum, the County will appoint one (or more) councilors to form a quorum, and the Council can then fill the other vacancies by appointment. Don't let the rumors frighten you. Baker County is not going to take us over. I want only one thing, and many of you have never experienced it in Sumpter ... honesty in our City government. Please vote NO on my recall and YES to recall Oakley and Myers-Woolf. Together we can do what needs to be done. Melissa Findley Mayor of Sumpter
Sumpter residents should be working to improve the town Citizens of Sumpter, Our town is in disgrace. Brawling in the streets,pullingoutpipesto (beat up) those that oppose your way of thinking. This mess the city is in is escalating. Is this really the picture you want our vis itorsto thecity to see?Arethe upcoming articles in the papers really what you want people to read about Sumpter and its citizens. Hatred, anger, and childish gang shirt related images. Many of you
blame those that started the lawsuit against the city, but the trouble here startedlong beforetheirdecision tofile charges. Melissa was brave enough to run for mayor when this town desperately needed some adult guidance. She has beenridiculed,harassed and ignored. Citizens of the town, including a past mayor, have interfered with meetings and made it difficult for her. He would not have stood for the behaviorhe either satand listened to or joined in. Can't we all just work together to make a better Sumpter, to dig ourselves out of the hole this city is in? There should not be two groups fighting in the streets, disrupting council meetings so business cannot get done and ridiculing letters being written and mailed with accusations being made without substantial evidence on both sides. Haven't you all had enough ofthis? Beverly Hale Sumpter

Red Cross gives tools to families returrung to homes PORTLAND iAPl — The Red Cross is handing out shovels, rakes and flashlights to people returning to homes burnedby a wildfire south of John Day in Eastern Oregon. Lisa Stroup, executive directorforthe Red Cross in Central and Eastern Oregon, said Tuesday that families need the tools to sift through what was left by thewind-driven fi re. The Canyon Creek Complex of fires destroyed 26 homes and damaged 50 others when the wind startedblowing atmore than 40 mph Friday. It has burned through about 63 square miles, mostly on the Malheur National Forest, and was zero percent contained. Another 500 structures are threatened by the fire that is the No. 1 priority in Oregon for receiving resources when they become available. Crews from around the state have been brought in to protect homes. Power is out along a stretch of Highway 395 south of John Day. People have volunteered to help clean up burned over properties, and donated the use ofbackhoes to bury dead livestock, Stroup sald.

The Strawberry Mountain Wilderness, where much of the fire is burning, is closed. Itis one of 12 major wildfires burning in Oregon. Smoke from wildfires made air quality moderate to unhealthy for special groupsacrossmost ofthe state, with the exception of Portland and the northern Willamette Valley. More than 550 firefighters were at the scene as of late Monday — a day when fire behavior was active but not extreme. Crews often dug lines by hand in areas too steep for bulldozers to climb, while helicopters doused hot spots. Elsewhere, the KahNee-Ta Resort in Central Oregon reopened after a wildfir e forced 400 guests to evacuateas a precaution last week. The fire that threatenedthe resortis now more than 30 percent contained. The north entrance to Crater Lake National Park remains closed, as does Highway 230, while firefighters struggle to contain the lighting-caused National Creek Complex of fires on the border between the park and the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.
butit's unclear whether they belong to a family or just happened to live in the neighborhood. The home they were found dosest to had been completely engulfed by the flames, and where pieces of the home were scattered about due to a dynamite explosion in the outbuilding. Skeen says the kittens, too, were in a bad state. 'Their eyes were horrifically glued shut, one had his nose glued shut," Skeen said. ''We cleaned them up and they both just looked up at the ceiling like,'Wow."' Skeen said the kittens were so unresponsive that she felt she had to take them to the veterinarian. Each of the animals will continue to be monitored by their caregivers until they can be claimed by their families.
dead birds should call the Vector Control District at 541-523-1151. Hutchinson also recommends residents try to avoid mosquito bites by taking the following precautions: • Eliminate all sources of standing water that can be breeding ground for biting mosquitoes such as flooded fields, watering troughs, birdbaths, wading pools, cloggedgutters and old tires. If it holds water for 7 days it can produce mosquitoes. • Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. • Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when in mosquito-infested areas. • Use mosquito repellents containing DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus or picarding, making sure to follow the directions on the container. • Make sure all screen doors and windows are in good repair and fit tightly.

Idaho facing unpredictable Fire season By Keith Ridler Associated Press
BOISE iAPl — Idaho is facing an unprecedented wildfire season, the state's top forestry official says. ''We are seeing wellabove average temperatures, and we're seeing fuel moisture levelsthat are atrecord lows," David Groeschl, state foresterforthe Idaho Department of Lands, told Gov. C.L."Butch" Otter and other members of the Idaho Land Board on Tuesday. Recordsindicateconditions are worse now than they have been since at least 1926, noting there is no m oisture forecastfor 10 to 14 days, he said. ''We don't expect conditions to change anytime soon," Groeschl said.'We have a lot of fire season ahead of us."
The cost of fighting the fires has been rising quickly, with the latest estimate somewhere about $26 million to $29 million and climb-
ing, he added. A fire burning in westcentral Idaho near McCall caused 120 residents to evacuate, fire spokeswoman Julie Thomas said. Additional residents have been told to be ready to flee the 8-square-mile fire north of New Meadows. The plan on Tuesday was to prevent the fire from reaching U.S. Highway 95, Thomas said. The road is open, but motorists can expect smoke, she said. In northern Idaho, a group of fires that has scorched 90 square miles and destroyed 42 homes near Kamiah in the lastseveraldays is 25 percent contained. More
than 800 firefighters and nearly 50 fire engines are assignedtothatblaze. On theIdaho-Oregon border, officialssaid favorable weather allowed firefighters to increase containment to 90 percent on a fire that has burned 443 square miles of rangeland. That fire has scorched grasslandneeded forcattle and habitatforsagegrouse, a bird under consideration forfederalprotections.A decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected this fall. Groeschl told the Land Boardthat the fi re burned 58 squaremiles ofcore sage

Otter, speaking after the meeting, said the loss shouldn't factor into the sage grouse decision by the federalagency.He said thestate planned to surround the core habitat area with fireresistantgrasses before the fire, and now plans to work to rehabil itatethe area.

Continued ~om Page1A "It's been more ofabattle being a woman," Jarrell said. "But if you're willing to learn these guys are willing to teach you." Wiltrout and Jarrell are just a portion of the crew needed to operate each of thesehelicopters. Each aircraft requires two pilots, a crew chief imechanicl, a second wrench ia mechanic's assistant), and a fuel truck driver or two depending on the distance of the drive to the fire. Wiltrout and Jarrell are employees of Croman Corporation, and are hired on an
as-neededbasisby the state every fire season. "It's aconstant game of chess with a lot of moving pieces," Jarrell said.eWe're the last to know and the first to go." Wiltrout says the CornetW indy Ridge fi re hasbeen especially difficult to handle from the air because of the strong and rapidly changing wInds. "Usually, on a fire this size, you'd have a lot more helicopters on it,"Wiltrout said. But the wind worked to spread the smokearound,making visibility a major challenge for aerial firefighters, and creatingthe potentialrisk of a midair collision.
Once the fires merged together and the winds died down, the flames were much easier to handle. "Because of the convection, the smoke comes together and shoots up in one stack," Jarrell said."This improves your vision." Windier gusts expected on Thursday and Friday will serve to challenge firefighters both on and above ground in the coming days. But even with smoke in the air, Wiltrout insists Baker County residents can breathe easy. "They can rest assured they've got the best teams on these fires,"Wiltrout said.

The Mobile Retardant Plant has been placed off Beaver Creek Road near the south end of Bowen Valley. Helicopter pilots dip their buckets into a 5,000-gallon tank, right background, filled with a retardant mix. Marty Posey, seated right, owner of PecosValleyWildfire at Hope, New Mexico, said the retardant is used mostly to pretreat an area before firefighters ignite a backburn in their efforts to stop wildfire from spreading. A second tank contains water used to rinse the dip buckets whenever a helicopter stops retardant drops. Water and retardant, white bags, are mixed in the tanker truck and then pumped to the dip tank. At left are employees Jimmy Powell, the mix master, and Kirstin Bardon. Posey and crew work with the incident command's air support team at Baker Airport.

Bernanke recounted stories from his time as chairman of the Federal Reserve during the 2009 subprime housing crisis and the tough decisions he faced around quantitative easing.
When asked if there is as much risk in our financial system now as there was during the financial crisis, he answered," If a hurricane hits your house, how strong is the house? ill think our system, the house is much stronger, more capitalized and the system is more resilient today. The goal is to make the house strong no matter where the hurricane hits not the direction it hits from." SeeHaines / Page 2B

Jordan Meyer, owner of Overshot Photography, spent several months writing out a document requesting the Federal Aviation Administration grant him authorization to fly his drone for commercial use.
• La Grande grad at helm of &st licensed drone company in Eastern Oregon By Kelly Ducote WesCom News Serwce
A 2011 La Grande High School graduate is proving the sky's the limit. Overshot Photography, owned by Jordan Meyer, recently got the Federal Aviation Administration's go-ahead to become the first licensed drone company in Eastern Oregon. "I absolutely can say I'm addicted to aerial photos and aerial views," the 21-year-old Meyer
F

SRld.
Meyer's new business is deeply rooted in his love for aviation, an interest of his since childhood. He is in the process of getting his pilot's license, but in the meantime has plenty to do with Overshot. His interest in drones or unmanned aircraft systems, Meyer's preferred term, was piqued when he learned about someone in Arizonadoing realestate photography with drones. He realized there's a"whole new industry that hasn't been tappedintobefore,"M eyer said. But licensing his own UAS, a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, wasn't an easy task. In order to license a UAS, for which there are no current regulations, operatorsmust send detailed reports to the FAA outlining which FAA regulations they need exemptions from. For instance, Meyer said, a UAS doesn't need seatbeltsbecause they are not manned. Meyer's report was 36 pages in length, and he did it without the help of an attorney. It took a couple months of research. Meyer saidhe looked atreportsfrom other drone companies for help. "It took about four months from start to finish," he said."My nights and weekends were filled with this endeavor." Meyer, who also works full time
Tim MustoeNVescom News Service
The Phantom drone is one of the most complex and sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicle on the market. The drone can use GPS coordinates to plot a track to follow, fly back to where it originally took off and land itself, and provide streaming video to a smartphone while in flight.
"I have some experience working with ground
equipmentfor localmedia companies, but most of my photography experience is aerial." — Jordan Meyer, Overshot Photography owner
at Mountain West Moving and Storage, said the FAA approval came July 31. "It's a huge relieftom e,"hesaid last week."To be able to advertise and market myself openly has made this business grow so much in the past week." For now, Meyer said the focus is working with local real estate agencies. Overshothas partnered with Valley Real Estate to offer UAS photography for listings. 'You have to sell Mount Emily, Mount Harris, the valley just as much as you have to sell the frontyard,"he said.'We're advertising the amazing surroundings of the house." Meyer's UAS is equipped with a mounted custom 14-megapixel HD camera by DJI. It is capable of taking still photos and video. M eyer bel ieves hisfather'slove of photographyhas played arole in his new business.

"I believe I inherited that," he said."I have some experience working with ground equipment forlocalmedia companies,but most of my photography experience is aerial." He has been approached for filming local TV shows and has donatedfootage to localm edia outlets of events like the Fourth ofJuly fi reworks show and La Grande's Crazy Days celebration. Meyer, who has three employees at Overshot including himself hopes to grow down the road. Still, he said, he wants to be a small business owner and looks forward to modeling his own business after his employer, Mountain West. "Being there has shown me how to treat customers well, how to treat employees well and how to run a business," he said. Operatinga drone,though, doesn't always mean he is treated SeeDrone / Page 2B
DEAR PAUL: Your employeesaren'tinterested in being owners of your business. Ownership is far more difficult than being an employee. Individuals who are employees don't want the hassle, the headaches, the risk or the uncertainty of ownership. Employees seek a steady paycheck, security, and a place to learn, contribute and grow. Individuals join a company and are often told their input is welcomed and necessary for the company and that their opinions matter and that they will be heard. This idealism is crushed when managementand ownership pay lip service tothese words. Employees learn that they are to be seen and not heard. Be grateful for loyal and productive people on the payroll. This is an asset to utilize to engage your employees to become business partners and notcoststobereducedorcut. If you do not now have a gain-sharing program, that is where I recommend you start. My clients have used thesekind ofprograms for yearsyielding great results. In the case of my clients, eachowner established goals foreach department to accomplish for a six month period. The goals were specific and measurable and focused on cost reductions and productivity improvements. The departmental goal was broken down so that each individual had goals. Everyone was eligible for a share of the departmental award and their own individual reward. Individual checks were handed out at a company lunch monthly after accounting closed the books. Over time, my clients were abletotransform theirbusinesses through this. Employees become more engaged, more focused and took ownershipofthe costreduction programs and productivity improvements. These programs were launched during difficult economic times when it was notpossibleforthecompanies to give employees raises. Gain sharing results were consideredbetterby theem ployees compared to raises because the employees had control over the amount they could earn. SeeKeller / Page 2B

SOUTH HERO, Vt.— As more farms open themselves up to visitorsfor applepicking,hay ridesand some extra income, experts are advisingowners to take stepsto prevent accidents — be they small or fatal. Farming is one of the more dangerous occupations in the U.S. mostly due to the machinery and equipment, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a growing interest in local food has led to agritourism becoming a big business, with the number of U.S. farms reporting income from such activities rising 42 percent between 2007 and 2012, according to the latest Census of Agriculture. Adding urbanites, who may not be familiar with hazards such as irrigation ponds or farm equipment that could pique a child's interest, can be a recipeforaccidents. So, experts say farmers have to purchase the proper insurance, know where the hazards are and keep tourists away from those areas. Doing so can prevent injuries, lawsuits and notoriety and keep farms in business. It isn't known how many

Ron Hackett, of Hackett's Orchard, talks with Lisa Chase, of the University ofVermont Extension service, about measures the orchard has taken to protect the safety of visitors. As more farms open up to visitors for apple picking, hay rides and corn mazes, extension officials are urging the owners to take steps so their facilities and equipment are safe to help prevent accidents. agritourism-related injuries have occurred in the U.S., said Marsha Salzwedel, an agritourism safety specialist with the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Two people were killed last year: A teenager
HAINES Continued from Page 1B Bernanke took a lot of criticism for his decision during the crisis and says of criticism: "Listen to it, if it's valid, pay attention." Regarding prosperity in America, Bernanke feels the biggest components on increasing the income of middle Americans are skills and training, particularly in the areas of technology. He believesoneofthe biggest positives forAmerica going forward are the outstanding universities in the U.S. Branson, unconventional and known as a daredevil, has raced powerboats acrosstheAtlanticand setdistance records in hot air balloons.

Branson reminded the audience that success and entrepreneurship are habits anyone can develop."Just give it a go," he said of trying new ideas.'The worst that can happen is you fall flat on your face. So, you get up and give it a go again" Nyad, who completed her 110-mile swim without the use of a shark tank, summed up her talk with,"I have three messages. One is we should never ever give up. Two is you are never too old to chase your dreams. And three is it looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team."

of these incidents if not all of them are pretty much preventable." The first key is assessing the risks, said Brian Schilling of Rutgers' Cooperative Extension in New Brunswick, New Jersey."If you've grown up on a farm you're sort of blind to a lot of these things," he said, advising owners to have an extension agent, emergency official or insurance agent walk the farm to identify hazards. The extension also has a safety checklist that reminds farmers to, among other things, designate areasthat are closed to the public, trainemployees toproperty operate farm machinery, secure and restrict areas that contain chemicals, provide hand-washing or hand-sanitizing stations and have employees assist with parking. Ron Hackett takes several safety precautions around his business, Hackett's Orchard in South Hero, Vermont, including playground inspections and a Plexiglas guard around its applesorting machine. He also transportsvisitors on a tractor-pulled trailer and has an attendant making sure riders are sitting down and keeping their hands from the
you feel you haven't saved enough or earnedenough,think about where the opportunities are for change. Look at others who are successful and develop their habits of success. Break down your goals into manageable steps. Next write down the three best financial decisions you have made. Turn the card over and write down how you "make your house stronger" or manage risk with your financial planning. For example, some risks you insure, such as long-term care, disability and death. Other risks, such as investment risk, you may actively manage with tools such as diversification and a buy and sell discipline. You can also manage risk by reducing debt and controlling spending. There are many types of financial risk and the key to successful financial planning is being aware of them and having a plan to follow. You nowhave aquick meaningful formula. Review your card often and see where the opportunities begin to occur.
side of the trailer. 'You'vegotto be evervigilant," said Hackett, who is only one of threepeoplethatisallowed todrive the tractor, which is the newest in his fleet. Being correctly insured is also important,since a regularfarm policy does not typically cover an agritourism activity, said Salzwedel, who added that she's seen a number of farms end up getting sued over injuries. "In some incidences, they're able to work through it and they work with the insurance companies if necessary and things go on fine," she said."In other incidences, it actually will close down the farm." In last year' shayride accident,a corporation that owns the Harvest Hill Farm property in Mechanic Falls, Maine, has filed for bankruptcy, citing personal injury claims as a liability. The district attorney charged the farm with manslaughter and brought misdemeanor chargesagainst the driverand a mechanic; all pleaded not guilty last month. Farm owner Peter Bolduc deniedknowing about any mechanical problems with the 1979 Jeep that was hauling the wagon.

Under Oregon law, UAS operatorscan fl y overprivate propertyonce.Iftheproperty owner tells them to stop, they must do so. Meyer said he will bring his drone down if people are uncomfortable "just to be considerate and be sure people aren't feeling trespassed on." As a business owner, Meyer said he wants to be open and transparent with people about what he does and that he has nothing to hide. He is in touch with 911 dispatch and makes contact with event organizers before flying his UAS. He also won't fly his drone if the weather isn't 100 percent.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration's approval ofdrilling for oilin the Arctic Ocean dashes with the message President Barack Obamawill deliver when he visits Alaska to emphasize the dangm ofdimate change, some environmental groups say. As much as the groups praiseObama forhisoverall body of work — &om stricter fuel-eSciency standards to regulationsaimed atreducing greenhouse gas emissions &om power plants — they considertheapprovalofexploratory drilling in the Arctic a stain on his environmental legacy that will send a mixed message to other countries about the seriousness of con&onting global warming. The burning of fossil fuels causes more greenhouse gases to build up in the atmosphere. Some groups would prefer leaving the oil in the ground and not tempting the harsh environmental conditions that could hinder the response to any potential spill. "It sends a terrible signal totherestofthe world for the United States to be using publicresources topromote that development," said Niel Lawrence of the Natural Resources Defense Council.'We have to make clearto therest of the world that we are all in on a clean energy future.
