A male sage grouse inflates its air sacs and flares its tail feathers during the species' annual spring breeding ritual.

to wildfires, Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett was ecstatic to get some good news.

The announcement Tuesday that the federal government will not list the sage grouse as a threatened or endangered species is no minor triumph, either, said Bennett, who has led thecounty'sefforttoavoid federal protection forthebird.

"This is exciting," he said. 'This means they listened to us and all the work was not in vain. That really takes a weight off."

That work, Bennett said, includes efforts by local ranchers, aided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Baker County Soil and Water Conservation Districts, to protectsagegrouse habitaton private and public lands.

Baker County marks the northern fringe of the chicken-size bird's range in Oregon.

M ost of the state'ssagegrouse habitat is in the southeastern counties of Malheur, Harney and Lake.

The question of whether the bird needsfederalprotection under the Endangered Species Act dates back more than a decade.

— Mark Bennett, Baker County Commissioner

And for the whole of that time Baker County offtcials, and many residents, have worried about the possible effects of a listing.

Chief among those concerns is the possible reduction in the acreage open to cattle grazing, particularly on public land.

Beefcattle salesbrought about $85 million to Baker County's economy in 2014 — more than half the county's agricultural income.

M ost of the county'sbeefcattle grazefor atleastpartoftheyearon rangelands that include sage grouse habitat.

Federalprotection forthesage grousecould potentially affectother activities and industries, including off-road vehicles, wind farms and mining.

Bennett said his enthusiasm about the government's announcement Tuesday is tempered by the likelihood that groups which have for yearslobbied forsage grouse protection will challenge Tuesday's decision

in court.

In addition, Bennett pointed out that the BLM's management plan for the Baker Resource Area is pending. That document, and the BLM's overallstrategy for protecting sage grouse, could lead to restrictions on some uses of public land in Baker County, including cattle grazing.

Bennett is especially leery because of areportthatshowed the sage grouse population in Baker County had decli ned by about 70 percent over the past decade or so.

He said it'sfortunate for the county that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service didn't deem the Baker County sage grouse a distinct subpopulation.

ONTARIO — Years of hard work combined with a willingness to compromise proved to be two critical pillars in a decision Tuesday by the federal government to decline to place the sage grouse under the protection of the Endangered Species

than two years but Tuesday's announcement is evidence local advocates can make a difference, said Bentz Oregon Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario.

Bentz, who represents Baker County, said the announcement is a triumph on a number ofdifferent levels.

"I think it was a huge victory for local management and local effort by ranchersand allthe peoplethat

participated with the BLM in the planning process," he sald.

Bentzsaid hebelieves one key reason the sage grouse will not be listed is the amount of conservation work already conducted in Oregon and other states.

"Much of what would have been accomplished by the listing had already been accomplished by local communities," Bentz said.

Bentz said a number of diverse groups worked together to develop conserva-

tion techniques for the bird.

"Itisarefl ection ofa whole bunch of really hard work by members of the iOregonl Cattlemen's Association, iHarney County Commissioner) Steve Grasty and other county courts.

Collaborative efforts that came into play formed the foundation," he said.

Bentz said the decision by the Interior Department sends a clear message about public involvement.

Baker City residents interested in replacing Ben Merrill on the City Council will have about two weeks to apply.

The six remaining councilors decided Tuesday to accept applications starting Friday.

Applicants will have 10 business days to respond.

Councilors will pick Merrill's replacement during their Oct. 13 meeting.

The appointed councilor will servetherestofM errill's term, which continues through the end of 2018.

Merrill announced earlier this month that he was resigning.

To be eligible, a person m ust be a registered voter who has lived in Baker City foratleast12 m onths preceding the appointment.

Answers are elusive.

Afterbeing sold last month, the In & Out drive-in at 299010th St.isclosed and without the familiar red and yellow landmark featuring an ice cream cone and a hamburger.

The sign was removed Tuesday morning by Lytle Signs Inc. of Meridian, Idaho.

Jerel Stoor, a representative of the company, wouldn't comment about the sign's fate.

The In & Out opened in 1954. Dale Lethlean said he bought the drive-in in 1957 and put up the sign within a year.

He said the In-N-Out Burger chain sent him a letter in the 1990s asking him to take the sign down.

Lethlean refused.

He said he paid a patent lawyer more than $7,000 to settlethematter.

"I found out we had the name registered four years before they did," Lethlean sald.

Week of Sept. 14th

Hereford to Malheur, Pat sent Elaine a letter expressing how it was time they got married, as the rough road was making tires for the Dodge entirely too expensive.

Elaine, knowing Pat's conservative nature, agreed.

They were married on Nov. 13,1939,attheBaptistparsonage in Weiser, Idaho.

Pat and Elaine lived on the family ranch, homesteaded

by Pat's grandfather, John Trimble, in 1884. They lived with Pat's mother, Lena, for about three months.

They moved to the Asa Fleetwood place, now the Bernie Hutcheon place, which Pat's father, Jim, had bought from Mr. Fleetwood. They livedthere forabout ayear, then moved back to the original homestead, which on July 5, 1941, they bought from the James Trimble estate.

In 1948, they tore down the big old two-story ranch house and, using most of the old lumber, built a modern one-story house where Elaine lived — by herself — until three weeks before her death.

During her early years of marriage it wasn't unusual for Elaine to have upwards of 20 hired hands to cook for during thrashing and haying season. At times, she would also work in the hay field, mostly driving caterpillar or team to run the Jenkins stacker.

Elaine and Pat had two daughters: Beverly, born July 18, 1941; and Patricia born March 22, 1947. Both girls were born at the St. Elizabeth Hospital in Baker.

Elaine was always active in the community, school, and church. She was a charter member of the Burnt River CommunityChurch Board as well as a member of the Baker City Christian Church, as the Burnt River Community Church did not have memberships.

Elaine and Pat were very strong supporters of the 4-H program. She was a 4-H cooking leader for 17 years. They were also involved with the 4-H beef program where both Bev and Patti were 10- year 4-H members.

Elaine was also an unofficial"bus" for the high school cheerleaders while Bev was in high school and the school district did not provide an activity bus.

In 1987, Elaine was a charter member of the Hereford Community Center ithe old Hereford School) Board of Directors. She was instrumental in getting the old school on the tax roll; thus, providing a tax-supported budget.

She was a volunteer for the H ereford Election Board for 20 years. She was a longtime member of the Hereford 3H LadiesClub,a service organization supporting the school and community.

The full moon that rises that evening will be a "supermoon" — when the moon comes closest to the Earth and can appear as much as 14 percent larger than usual.

Sunday's supermoon coincides with a lunar eclipse.

That's when the Earth is directly between the moon and the sun, casting a shadow over the moon.

The shadow gives the moon the red tint from which the term "blood moon" derives.

This is the first time in 32 years that a supermoon has coincided with a lunar eclipse.

Also attending will be officials &om the federal Agriculture Department's Natural Resources Conservation Service, Rural Development and Farm Service Agency.

The combination won't happen again until 2033.

The eclipse will already be underway when the moon clears the eastern horizon about 6:36 p.m. on Sunday.

The full eclipse will start about 7:11 p.m. and last for one hour and 12 minutes.

The National Weather Service isforecasting mostly sunny weather on Sunday, with partly cloudy skies overnight.

Unlike solar eclipses, you can safely watch a lunar eclipse without eye protection.

Sunday's total lunar eclipse is the last until January 2018.

Continued ~om Page1A "Iencourage allofthe councilors to think about people in the community that you know of who might be a good candidate to step forward for some civil service here," Mayor Kim Mosier Mosier s a i d Tuesday.

"And I would also encourage anyone from the community to consider steppingforward to become councilor."

She said anyone with questions is welcome to contact any of the councilors to talk about what it entails to be part ofthe city'sgoverning boardand that theircontact information can be found at bakercity.com.

In other business Tuesday night, the Council approved the first two readings of an ordinance that amends the ordinance which prohibits the use of bicycles in city parks except on paved pathways.

The amendments to the ordinance will be worded to include all conveyancessuch as skateboards, roller skates and scooters. ''We want to be just clear that their are no iconveyancesl allowed in the park except on pathways," Public Works Director Michelle Owen said.

She said amendments also include wording that clarifies that the conveyances also cannot be used in such a manner that they do not damage anypark equipment.

The changes to the ordinance were proposed in part to protect the new Powder River Pavilion, the bandstand that was dedicated earlier this month in GeiserPollman Park.

Owen told councilors that citystaffism oving forward with the partitioning and improvements of the Salmon Creek property west of town.

She also reminded the Council that there is a joint meeting of the County and City Planning Commissions concerning the Interchange Area Management Plan Thursday at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St. Owen said the City Council and County Commissioners were originally scheduled to hold a joint hearing on the topic before the Council's next meeting at 6 p.m. on Oct. 13.

But Owen said that date might be troublesome for the Commission due to the absence of one of the commissioners.

Instead, the joint meeting will be moved to Nov.10 at 6 p.m.

Owen also reported that improvements are moving forward through the Sam-0 Swim Committee as directed by the Council.

Sand fi ltershave been ordered, and bids for the resurfacing of the city-owned pool are due on Oct. 6. Owen said the Council can review those bids at its next meeting.

Councilors approved the third and final reading of an ordinance that expands the Tree Board from five members to seven members.

The Tree Board requested the change due to increased workload and an increased interest in board member-

ship.

Mosier encouraged community members to apply for the volunteer positions on the Tree Board.

An Armenian pastor who serves two California churches will visit Baker City Monday as a representative of the International Peacemaker Program.

During his presentation, Hendrik Shanazarian will speak about the dangers faced by the Christian church in Iran. The event will begin at 6 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church at 1995 Fourth St. The public is invited.

Shannon Moon, a First Presbyterian Church spokeswoman, said the church was happy to bring Shanazarian to Baker City.

"Our mission committee thought it would be insightful and helpful to hear about the plight of Christians in Iran and the Armenian people from someone who's lived there H e n dfik — especially considering the current situa- S h anazartion with Iran," Moon wrote in an email to ian the Baker City Herald.

"It's always good togeta personal perspectiveon the subject," she said.

Shanazarian, 52, was born in Tehran, Iran, and grew up participating in the Armenian Evangelical Church in Tehran, according to information posted on the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program's website. He eventually became part of the leadership team for the Children and Youth Ministry.

As part ofhis Baker City presentation, Shanazarian also will speak about the Armenian people and the 100th commemoration of the 1915 genocide of Armenians by Ottomon Turks, primarily for religious reasons.

Shanazarian and his wife, Mariet, have two children, Anna and Tadeh.

He moved to the United States in 2007 where he is a member of the San Fernando, California, Presbytery. He is the pastor of the Holy Trinity Armenian Evangelical Church in Glendale, California, and the associate pastor of the Christ Armenian Church in La Crescenta, California.

He also has a part-time interim position at the Armenian Evangelical Union of North America as the acting minister to the Union.

annexa on BWSU1 S Baker City's botched annexation agreement with Richard and Lynne Langrell has cost the city about

$67,000.

That's bad enough.

It would be worse yet if the city ends up incurring more legal fees defending the indefensible.

We don't know if that's the case.

But city oKcials need to answer that question, as soon as possible.

The Langrells' case is clear.

Although there is ample evidence, including City Council meeting minutes, showing that the couple would pay double water and sewer rates for their motel in exchange for a 10-year exemption from city property taxes aker the parcel was annexed, the key document the Langrells signed in 2005 does not mention that detail.

As a result, a judge decided this spring that the city couldn't use the other evidence at trial, which in effect leR the city without a case.

The judge ordered the city to pay the Langrells

$50,000. The city also spent about $17,300 in attorney's fees.

The question looming now is whether the Langrells are alone in having a legal case against the city related to water and sewer fees on annexed properties.

Earlier this month Langrell, along with Glen VandenBos, met with City Manager Mike Kee. VandenBos had paid the double utility rates for his former business. That business was on property that Margaret and the late John Bootsma own, and that was also annexed into the city about a decade ago.

Kee said the Bootsmas' annexation agreement, like the Langrells' does not include a clause requiring double water and sewer fees.

That suggests the city might owe VandenBos a refund. What's not clear is whether the legal situation is diferent, since VandenBos, unlike the Langrells, didn't own the property that was annexed.

In addition, the city recently refunded Mike and

Michelle Fiala about $3,400 for double water and sewer fees they had paid for about seven years aker buying a parcel in the same area from the Bootsmas.

That situation was diferent, though, because the Fialas paid city property taxes as well as the double utility fees aker buying the property.

It's clear that the city needs to make it a priority to go through every annexation agreement that possibly could present the same legal issues that the Langrells' lawsuit raised, or, as with the Fialas, could result in the city issuing a refund for water and sewer fees.

If there are other properties for which the city,

based on the Langrell judgment, has a legal liability, then the city needs to settle those as quickly as possible, ideally before any more lawsuits are filed.

As distasteful as it is to spend public money to fix a problem caused by badly written contracts, it would be even worse to prolong the issue, and increase the legal bill, by going to court with a case that can't be won.

Don't erase all old marijuana crimes Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: In just nine days, Oregonians will be able to buy recreational marijuana legally for the first time. The rollout will be slow, to be sure, but things are moving much more quickly on another front.

Alreadythose convicted ofa variety of crimes involving marijuana, from simple possession to manufacture and sale, can have the history of those crimes erased under certain circumstances. It should spark debate in the 2016 Legislature and beyond.

Expungement —theerasing ofa person's criminal record — is nothing new in Oregon or in most other states.

It's often available to persons whose crimes were committed as juveniles on the assumption that youthful offenses should not dog a person forever.

And in Oregon at least, a person can have therecord ofsome crimes erased ifthe crimes areold and there'sbeen no repeat bad behavior in the intervening years. Driving offenses cannot be expunged in Oregon.

Until this year, some crimes involving marijuana could not be erased,

among them the sale and manufacture of marijuana products.

It may be that the old law, which specifically limited expungement of even minor marijuana offenses, went too far.

But by the same token, adding serious crimes including sale of a formerly illegal drug to the expungement list seems to gotoo farin the other direction.After all, the sale of what at the time was an illicit substance says something about the character of the person doing the selling. Simply waving a magic wand and making the behavior disappear is too much.

STATE BRIEFING GPS might have misled driver who died VALE iAPl — Investigators are saying GPS may have led a man astray in Malheur County, prompting a weeklong search that ended with the discovery ofhis body.

The Argus Observer reports ihttp//bit.ly/1Pky41Ml the Malheur County Sheriff's OSce concluded its investigation, and Sheriff Brian Wolfe says 69-year-old Silas Wrigley appears to have missed the turn to Lake Owyhee based on GPS information.

W olfe said investigatorscannot prove it,butthatit looks like Wrigley followed his recalculated GPS route to a remote dirt road where his truck was found. He had been near Succor Creek on an extended fishing trip.

The search began Aug. 22 Malheur County Search and Rescue exceeded its

$6,000 annual budget by about $1,000 in what Wolfe says was the longest search he can remember in 17 years.

Climber dies in fall from Oregon peak ALBANY iAPl — Authorities say a mountain climber died in a fall at Three Fingered Jack in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness.

Linn County Sheriff Bruce Riley says 22-year-old Tyler Heilman of Bend was near the summit Sunday afternoon when he fell.

Searchers found his body 4t/2 hours after 9-1-1 dispatchers received the emergency call. The recovery was put off until Monday because of the rugged terrain and approaching darkness.

Riley says Heilman and a 23-year-old climbing partner were at an elevation of about 7,700 feet. The sheriff says Heilman was not roped in and he fell 500 to 600 feet.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. iAPl — Robinson Cano wasn't focused on the distance. He was just happy to see the ball clear the fence.

Cano homered twice and drove in four runs and Hisashi Iwakuma struck out a season-high 10 as the Seattle Mariners romped past the slumping Kansas City Royals, 11-2 Tuesday night.

The Mariners muscled out five home runs, with Cano's 433-foot three-run shot in the seven-run third his longest in more than two years.

"I knew it was a good swing but I didn't think it w as going tobethatfar," Cano said."But for me it doesn't matter how far it goes if it goes over the wall."

KauSnan Stadium is not a fiiendly park for power

hitters, but it was not too big for the Mariners.

"It doesn't usually play this small," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. " I thought the ball jumped, really jumped in early BP tonight and I think it carriedoverinto the game."

The AL Central-leading Royals have dropped 12 of 17. Their magic number for clinching the division remained three.

Cano and Kyle Seager each hit solo homers in the first inning for Seattle, which has the league's bestrecordin September at 13-6 but is still three

games under .500 i74-77l.

It was Seager's 25th home run and his seventh in 23 games.

Brad Miller and Jesus Montero also connected for Seattle.

Cano hit a three-run shot in a seven-run third inning for his 15th career multihomer game. Cano's next hit will be the 2,000th ofhis career.

NEW YORK — The lovable legend of Yogi Berra, that ain't ever gonna be over.

The Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his unmatched 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, died Tuesday. He was 90.

Berra, who filled baseball's record book as well as "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," died of natural causes at his home in New Jersey, accordingto Dave Kaplan, the directorofthe Yogi Berra Museum.

Berra played in more World Series games than anyother major leaguer,and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player.

Other advocates said loopholes in federal land-use plans allow too much development.

Greater sage grouse once numbered an estimated 16 million birds. Over the last century, they lost roughly half their habitat to development, livestock grazing and an invasive grass that's encouraging wildfires in the Great Basin of Nevada and adjoining states. An estimated 200,000 to 500,000 birds now occupy sagebrush habitat spanning 11 states.

Tuesday's finding reverses a 2010 determination that the sage grouse were in precipitous decline. Under a federalcourtsettlement with the group WildEarth Guardians, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service faced a Sept.

30 deadline todecide the bird's status.

Erik Molvar with WildEarth Guardians said Interior officials had turned an opportunity to help the grouse into "an epic conservation failure." He said exceptions, modifications and waivers within federal landuse plans mean protections could evaporate with the stroke of a pen.

Republicans cast the issue as evidence of endangeredspecies laws run amok.

'There are a lot of negative things that would have gone with a ifederall listing. At the end of the day we have a chance to change the rules made in Oregon. I will take LCDC rules any day of the week. That is a state restriction, not a federal one. We did not get the ESA listing and that is wonderful news," he said.

Reaction to sage grouse decision: "I am thrilled by today's announcement that the greater sage grouse does not require protection under the Endangered Species Act. I applaud the efforts of ranchers, conservationists, governors and others who have come to the table, signed agreements Wyden an d worked hard on the ground to fight for rural Oregon jobs and communities. This victory just goes to show how collaboration between private stakeholders and local, state and federal leaders can lead to balanced, sustainable solutions for the management of wildlife and our public lands."

— U.S.Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

"Farmers and ranchers in Eastern Oregon have been working hard to avoid a listing of the sage grouse, a move that would severely impact jobs in rural communities throughout the West. I'm glad that the Administration recognized these efforts and decided not to move forward with a listing. This will give Walden communities in Oregon time to implement locally driven conservation efforts without the federal government's heavy hand getting in the way."

— U.S.Rep. Greg Walden,R-Ore.

"It's definitely good news for the state of Oregon and our overall economy, especially ranchers and other people who use natural resources.

House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop said the decision on grouse was a"cynical ploy" intended to mask the fact that the Obama administration was imposing limits on developmentacrosstheWest.

"Do not be fooled," the Utah Republican said in a statement.'With the stroke of apen,the Obama administration's oppressive land management plan is the same thing as a listing" under the Endangered Species Act. The ranking Democrat on the committee, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona, countered that Republicans attack Obama either way — when his administration lists a speciesasendangered and when it decides against a listing.

The administration has poured hundreds of millions of dol larsintoconservation measures in hopes of patching together enough sagebrush habitat to ensure thebird'slong-term survival.

Federal officials worked with stategovernments to adopt their own habitat protection plans, which included local restrictions on energy developmentand setting aside private and public lands as habitat.

The administration also is proposing to withdraw mining claims on 10 million acres considered key habitat.

Nonetheless, Tuesday's decision is a landmark, said Bill Moore, a Baker County rancher and past president of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association.

"It's definitely good news for the state of Oregon and our overall economy, especially ranchers and other people who use natural resources, saidMoore,who raisescattle near Unity.

"I think it's a huge acknowledgement of the conservationeffortsthathave gone on, and an endorsement of what can be done with this private/public collaboration effort &om peopleand groups that are interested in finding solutions, "Mo ore said.

One of those potential solutions is the CCAA — Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances.

Moore was the first Baker County rancher to enroll his property in the federal program, which is designed to protectsagegrouse habitat on private land while insulating landowners from the potential effectsofthesage grousebeing listed asthreatened or endangered.

changing the grazing scheduleforcattle,forinstance, something Moore has done — to protect sage grouse habitat.

In exchange, the federal government agrees not to impose any further restrictions on how the landowner uses theproperty,even ifthe sage grouseislisted asthreatened or endangered.

Although the Fish and Wildlife Service's announcement Tuesday might seem to make CCAAs moot, Moore doesn't think that's the case.

He believes the willingness of ranchers to enroll in CCAAs and do other work that benefits sage grouse contributedtofederaloffi cials' decision not to list the bird.

"All of the efforts that ranchers have gone to are being viewed favorably," Moore sard.

The iconic sign at Baker City's In &. Out drive-in was hauled out of town Tuesday morning.

IN 8( OUT Continued ~om Pcge1A Lethlean's son, Kim Lethlean, said that the family proved that they had not copied the name of the burger chain that had been in business since 1948.

A key difference is what's between the "In" and the "Out." Lethlean's sign puts an ampersand in that space.

The burger chain, which this month opened its first Oregon restaurant, in Medford, has an"N" there.

Exactly who bought the business is a mystery.

Baker County property records show that the property, which comprises two adjacent tax lots — the restaurant is on one and a home on the other — was sold to a business registered in Oregon as 2990 10th Street, LLC. The billing address for property taxes is listed as Michael Geronimo, an attorney in Walnut Creek, California. AssessorKerry Savage said theproperty sold for$182,000.

When asked whom he sold the business to, Dale Lethlean said:"I'm not supposed to say anything, but it's the people who want our name."

Gary Wilcox, a project manager with California Neon Products, said his company hired Lytle Signs Inc. to remove the In & Out sign Tuesday.

Wilcox would neither confirm nor deny that In-N-Out Burgers hired his company to deal with the Baker City slgn.

California Neon Products' website indicates that the In-N-Out chain is among its clients.

Kim Lethlean said the Baker City In & Out drive-in had been on the market for more than two years.

Prospective buyers were hesitant.

"Buyers wanted to be assured that In-N-Out wouldn't sue them," he said.'We couldn't do that."

Kim Lethlean said the In-N-Out company of today is much more accommodating, though, than the one his family dealt with in the 1990s during the dispute over the names.

"I wear an In-N-Out hat," Lethlean said."How many other people in Baker can say that?"

Sage grouse 101: Basics of the bird

By Mead Gruver Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo.— The Interior Department said Tuesdayitwon'tproposefederalprotections for the greatersage grouse,a chicken-sized bird ofthe sagebrush that ranges &om California to the Dakotas.

The implications of the announcement were huge for oil and gas drilling, renewable energy development and cattle grazing:The bird ranges acrossallor partof11 states, and federalprotections could have placed new restrictions on those industries.

Here are some questions and answers about the sage grouse:

WHAT IS A SAGE GROUSE? Mottled brown and easily overlooked in their native settingas a rock or apiece ofw ood,the sagegrouse is not much to look at until spring breeding season. That's when the males pufF their chests and flare their feathers in courtship displays at special areas called leks.

The greater sage grouse flies but not well, sometimes killing themselves by flying into barbed-wire fences.

They're also shy, and they keep clear of tall objectscliffs, trees, transmission towers and windmills — that offera handy perch forraptors.

WHAT IS THEBIG DEAL? Sage grouse once numbered in the millions. They're down to several hundred thousand now with the incursion of oil and gas drilling, homes, roads and other trappings of human civilization into their habitat, the vast "sagebrush sea" in the lower open country of the West.

Some environmentalists say only tight restrictions on development and grazing can save the sage grouse.

Avista Utilities, a regional natural gas utility, wants to reducenaturalgasratesfor its residential customers by 12.1percentthisfall.

The new rates will go into effect Nov. 1, 2015, upon the approval of the company's annual Purchased Gas Adjustment iPGAl, which is under review at the Oregon Public Utility Commission, said Casey Fielder, communications manager with Avista.

A PGA is a regulatory tool that is filed annually in Oregon to allow Avista and othernatural gasprovidersto adjust prices that reflect the rapidly changing cost of the commodity in the wholesale market, Fielder said. The cost oftransportingnatural gas on Avista's interstate pipelines is included as well.

The price Avista pays for natural gas on the wholesalemarket getspassed to customers. In other words, Avista does not mark up the costofnaturalgaspurchased to meet customer needs, so there is no impact on company earnings.

The price cut will trim the averagebillfor Oregon residents by 12.1 percent or $7.55 per month,fora new monthly

bill of $54.92, Fielder said.

Natural gas is measured in British thermal units iBtul, which is what companies like Avista use to measure natural gas consumption. In Oregon, residents use, on average, 46 therms per month.

The sale and distribution of natural gas in the U.S. is dependent on a fairly complicated marketplace with a financial side on the New York Mercantile Exchange and a physical market, consisting of the actual purchase and sale

Cascade Natural Gas also cutting rates this fall Cascade Natural Gas customers, including those in Baker City, will pay less for their fuel starting Nov. 1.

The company has filed a request with the Oregon Public Utility Commission to reduce its rates by about 7.1 percent.

That would save the average residential customers about $3.56 per month.

of natural gas in the United States.

Natural gas prices are driven primarily by supply and demand. The supply of natural gasis heavilydependent on the infrastructure producersand distributors have in place including pipelines and storage facilities.

Transportation costsare also alargefactorin thecostof natural gas on the wholesale market. The declining cost of fuel in recent months might alsobe a contributing factor ofAvista'sproposed rate cut.

Although the price of natural gas remains highly volatile in the short term, it has been steadily declining since 2006. Innovative drilling methods since the early 2000s are the primary cause ofthesepricereductions.

"Since the Bakken shale boom in North Dakota startingin 2007,naturalgas production has increased 40 percent, which contributes heavily to the supply factors," said Scott McConnell, an economicsprofessorat

•000

Eastern Oregon University in La Grande.

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have enabled energy companies in the U.S. to ramp up production of natural gas, prompting regional distributors to sell the commodity to customers at cheaper rates.

Production of natural gas has increased much faster than consumption in recent years, leading to unusually low prices by international standards.

The costofdrilling is expected to decline even further in the medium and long term as more natural gas reserves are exploited, enabling distributors such as Avista to cut prices even further in the future, McConnell said.

The unusually warm winter of2014-15 was also a contributing factor in the rate cut, McConnell said.

Under normal conditions, demand for naturalgas peaks between December and February, the coldest months of the year. Declining demand, and thus, the price fornaturalgas,is adirect result of the mild winter.

Demand for natural gas is also driven by economic growth in a region.

Consumption rises when economic growth is high and declines when growth stagnates.

"Another factor that contributesto the decrease in demand, besides the slowly recovering economy, is the energy efficiencies that have beenpromoted through the tax system for built structuresand appliances,"said McConnell."As Americans are able to make deductions or gettax creditsfor purchasing energy-saving appliances, they tend to do so."

mana er DEAR KEN: Since I promoted someoneintoa manugement role,they have gonefrom being earl y towork and staying late to always arrivmg later than my otheremployees and leaving when the hourly workers gohome. When I asked him about it he said that as a manuger, he no longer had to punch a clock and couldanive lateand leavewhen he wanted to.

— RON T. DEAR RON: I think you need to speak to an employment attorney about whether or not you really promoted someone into management or did you give them a title and they are really a manager in name only.

Assuming that the individual in question meets all of the legal requirements for being in management, you have a troubling situation developing.

Individuals in management are supposed to set an example to those they lead, and instead of that happening, this individual has developed a"rank has its privileges" attitude which appears to be something new to your company. This is a virus you do not want spreading into your company.

This is a troubling attitude because as the owner you want as much"we" as possible and to limit the"me" factor to the point where it is nonexistent. The "me"attitude isappropriatefor a 2-yearold but witnessing it in an adult in a management role is both disappointing and scary.

You need to quickly decide if this individual is coachable or not because part of your responsibility is to help every individual become better.

Don't delay having this necessary discussion, bring your attorney in to the meeting if necessary. And, if your newly appointedmanager doesn'tchange how they think and operate very quickly, you need to find someone more malleable and understanding to take the position.

POPE FRANCIS

Pogeof the goorarrivesin llS denying he's aliheral

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The pope of thepoorarrived for his first-ever visit to the world's wealthiest superpower Tuesday denying he is a lefbst and riding in a frugal little family car, windows rolled down.

Pope Francis' chartered plane from Cuba touched down at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, where President Barack Obama and his wife and daughters paid him the rare honor of meeting him at the bottom of the stairson thered-carpeted tarmac. Presidents usually make important visitors come to them at the White House.

Emerging fiom the aircraft to loudcheersfrom acrowd of hundreds, the smiling 78-yearold pontiffremoved his skullcap in the windy weather and made his way down the steps in his white robes.

He was welcomed by a military honor guard, chanting schoolchildren, politicians, and Roman Catholic clerics in black robes with vivid sashesofscarletand purple.

Joe Biden, the nation's first Catholic vicepresident,and his wife were among those who greeted him.

Eschewing a limousine, the pope climbed into the back of a little Fiat sandwiched between huge black SUVs.
