The La Grande/Union County Airport was bustling with activity Tuesday.

Dozens of additional flights took off and landed there as about 40 students participated in La Grande's first Young Eagles event.

The event brought together local pilots who volunteered to take students from the Baker Charter Schools and La Grande Boy Scouts on flights around the valley.

Young Eagles is a program launched in 1992 by the U.S. Experimental Aircraft Association with the goal of exposing youth to general aviationand ultimately lead some to become pilots, aircraft mechanics, air traflic controll ersor otheraviation-related professionals.

ENTERPRISE — Nine years after howls were first heard in the Wenaha Wilderness, wolves are well established throughout Wallowa County.

Closeto thebreaks ofthe Snake River and Idaho to the east, the Imnaha River drainage has become favorable habitat for wolves.

The Imnaha Pack's range has shifted considerably since it formed, including the Zumwalt Prairie to the west and Baker County to the southeast. With other packs forming all around them, the pack's territory has constricted.

Yet, according to Russ Morgan, Oregon wolf coordinator, the Imnaha River corridor has remained the heart of their territory.

eanu a se or aur a • Neighborhood event makes return after three years

The compelling and heartwrenching tale of a La Grande man's effort to keep the memory ofhis son alive is set to be made into a major motion picture.

The website Deadline reportedthatthe movieproduction companyA24is preparing to produce a fiim about Joe Bell and his son, Jadin.

The film will tell the story of Jadin Bell, a 15-year-old La Grande High School sophomore who was driven to attempt suicide in late January 2013 after being bullied because he was gay. Jadin soon died from injuries sufferedin hissuicide attempt.

Almost three months later, Joe Bell quit his job at Boise Cascade and began a walk across the United States, telling his son's story to make people aware ofbullying. His trek,named Joe'sW alk for Change, ended tragically Oct. 9, 2013, when a truck hit and killed him in Colorado.

The movie about the Bells is set to be directed by Cary Fukunaga, well known for directingthe 2009 movie "Sin Nombre." Fukunaga will team up with writers from the 2006film"Brokeback Mountain" to produce the movie. Writers for Fukunaga's new movie were in La Grande a month ago to talk to friends of the Bell family.

Jody Bullock, a close Bell family friend, said that reliving the events of 2013 was painful especially because everyone's memories of the yeararesoim mediate.

Bullock said the pain of reliving the experience will be worth it if the film sends a message to those who are guilty ofbullying.

"I just hope it makes a difference," Bullock said.

Lola Lathrop of La Grande, Jadin's mom and Joe's wife, shares a similar sentiment.

'Yes, it is hard ito relive the events of 2013), but it is also wonderful. Joe never wanted Jadin forgotten, and he so wanted to make a difference.

This, I hope, will help the cause," Lathrop said.

By Jayson Jacoby

WesCom News Serwce

The impetus for the bill, though, was not to thwart Oregon's longtime disdain — at least at the legislative level — for self-servegaspumps.

Bentz said he introduced the bill at the behest of a gas station owner in Fields, a Harney County community that's about 53 miles from the nearest other pumps, and the former owner of a station at Burns Junction, a similarly remote spot in Malheur County.

As is typical with stations in remote areas, those businesses usually are closed at night, Bentz said.

But travel ersin those areas, when they need gas, "they really, really need gas," Bentz said.

But with no self-serve pumps, thosedriverseitherhave to risk

trying to make it to the nearest allnight station — of which there are few in Oregon's hinterlands — or wait until the station opens.

Bentz said his bill is designed to give all gas station owners, in relatively thinly populated counties, the optionto have a self-serve pump or pumps — basically identical to the cardlockstations,except available to anybody with a credit card.

Jack Helm, who owns J&M Country Store in Huntington, the Baker County town's only gas station, hopes Bentz's bill becomes law. ''We need it," Helm said."I'm closedat 6o'clock atnightand we geta lotoftravelerscoming through after that who need gas."

Helm said his station also is

closed on Mondays.

He said he would"absolutely" spend the money to upgrade one ofhis pumps to self-serveifitwere legal.

Helm's station is the only fuel seller along Interstate84 between Ontario and Baker City, a distance of about70 miles.

In Baker City, the Baker Truck Corral's fuel pumps are open around the clock, seven days a week.

The issue is not just about safety but also about tourism, Bentz said. ''We're trying to make Eastern Oregon a friendlier place when it comes to recreation, hunting, tourism, whatever," he said.'We have to have fuel available in our remote areas. We're trying to figure out how tomake thathappen."

exem on Editorial from the Bend Bulletin:

As school oKcials east of the Cascades will tell you, biodiesel and cold weather don't necessarily mix. The result is school districts can find themselves with busloads of stranded students — or students waiting for a bus that will never come — when the temperature dips to 10 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.

Diesel fuel sold in Oregon must be blended to include 5 percent biodiesel thanks to a law passed by the 2007 Legislature. Now Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, hopes to change that. He's the sponsor of Senate Bill 164, which would relax the biodiesel requirement from Nov. 1 through February the following year east of the Cascades.

He's got the school districts around here on board.

They've had trouble for years because in the coldest weather the biodiesel gels, fouls fuel filters and brings the buses to a grinding halt.

A fact sheet submitted to the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources by the National Biodiesel Board pointed out that communities much colder than Bend or Lakeview run biodiesel all winter without fouling problems. If it works in Minnesota, the argument is, then it should work in Eastern Oregon. A spokeswoman for the Oregon Environmental Council gave similar testimony.

It's clear neither of them has the whole picture.

Buses sold in Minnesota come with complex heating systems that work to keep biodiesel flowing even in the coldest weather, says Denice Blake, director of transportation for Bend-La Pine Schools. Districts in this part of the country don't buy those systems because they add several thousand dollars to the cost of eachbus and generally are needed only a handful of days per year.

School districts across Oregon continue to struggle to make ends meet these days and have more critical ways to spend money than on fancy, seldom-needed heating systems.

SB 164 will ensure schoolchildren are safe and school districts are not burdened with what should be unneeded repairs. It should be approved.

The $1.5 million Phase II of the Adams Avenue Streetscape Project is funded through the city's Urban Renewal program, which generates revenue from property taxes within the district.

CONCERNS Continued from Page1A business owners that those involved in the project are working to minimize the impacts of the construction, which is set to start at Fourth Avenue and Adams Avenue and move easttoDepot Street. oWe phased it to reduce the term of the project," Paullus said.'The main work will be done in 60 days."

The core project has been broken down into three phases: from Fourth Street to Chestnut Street, from Chestnut to Depot Street and from Depot Street back up to Fourth.

The $1.5 million project is funded through the city's Urban Renewal program, which generates revenue &om property taxes within the district.

Contractors and others involved with the project on hand at the meeting Monday told concerned business owners that the impact to businesses will likely be only for a couple days as crews move through. One day will be for tearing up the existing concrete and another day will be dedicated to pouring the new sidewalks. Access will be blocked on the day the concrete is poured, they said.

La Grande Main Street Downtown Coordinator Saira Siddiqui said the downtown organization is working on a campaign to indicate to patronsthat thebusinesses arestillopen.

Other concerns raised at the meeting came from fans of the La Grande Farmers' Market, which is typically set up at Max Square. This year, though, Max Square is being redone as

Paullus said construction was pushed back one week to allow for the traditional opening of the market at Max Square, which includes performances by a number oflocal students.

Once construction starts, the market will have use of the library parking lot and space around the Moda building, Paullus said.

Market Manager Beth Wasley said she was pleased that the market will be able to have its traditional opening at Max Square because it is such a popular day. oWe fill it up," she said.

Wasley said the tentative plan during constructionistocreate a sortofL-shape forthe market, with vendors on the Adams Avenue side of the library, vendors in the breezeway between the Moda and library buildings, and more vendors — and the live music — housed in the back in the parking lot area.

"Boththelibrary and Moda have been amazing,"Wasley said.

The manager said she hoped to maintain some visibility on Adams Avenue with that plan, although market organizers may adjust once the season ramps up.

Still, others at the meeting said they question the time of the year for construction, during peak tourism months and during the farmers' market.

Farmer and market vendor Nella Parks said the construction and relocation worries her for the visibility of the market.

"And also the businesses I patronize downtown," she said."I just wish the timing was different."

A portion of Efrain Rivas' high school experience is turning out to be more intense than he anticipated, but he could not be happier.

Rivas is one of 39 La Grande High School students participating in LHS's new Pathways program.

Itfocuses on preparing students to later enter the workforce. Students in the program earn Career Technical Education Pathway endorsements through their involvement in internships, job shadowing and work experience.

Rivas, a sophomore, did his work experienceprojectatBarnes Diesel Power and Repair in La Grande.

There he has spent many hours learning about the fine art of repairing and maintaining diesel engines.

"Itwas betterthan Iexpected.I thought it would be more relaxed," Rivas said.

The sophomore anticipated he would often be standing and watching others at work, but that has not been the case. Instead, he was assigned meaningful work with diesel engines. Rivas is amazed with how much he has grown because of the opportunity to learn by doing and while receiving expert advice.

"Hands on always beats a book or video," Rivas said.

The sophomore has long been interested in diesel mechanics, an interest which was heightened by his experience at Barnes Diesel.

"I really like diesel mechanics. I like the opportunity to learn and solve problems with diesel engines," he said.

She encourages classmates considering entering the program to take on work experience opportunities in fields they are genuinely interested in.

"Do something that you can actually relate to. If you are not interested in doing it in the future, then don't do it," the LHS junior said.

The Tigers totaled 431 strokes as a team, with Wyatt Page shooting the low round for La Grande with a 105.Craig Wallacecarded a round of 107, Nojah Chamberlain turned in a 108 and Gabe Hanson shot a 111.

But with two of their main golfers missing in action, La Grande head coach Ron Evans thought it was a good test for the youthful team to go through.

'Those scores are high, but the wind was blowing really hard for the young kids, and they just weren't used to it," Evans said.

Baker had the best team score out of Greater Oregon League teams with a 366, while McLoughlin combined for a score of 387.

ENTERPRISE — In a region with need a forforestrestoration affordable energy, Community Solutions, Inc. is working to help communities and private landowners make the most of Eastern Oregon's natural resources.

Kyle Petrocine joined the stafF at Community Solutions in Enterprise this spring and is navigating through a list of biomass and hydropower projects already in the works.

Petrocine worked at Intel in

Hillsboro as a systems engineer and in the company's environmental, health and safety division.

"It broadened my experience with groundwater and stormwater issues and water quality concerns," Petrocine said.

He found his way to Wallowa County to backpack and attend Blues and Brews, a Joseph summer music festival held in August. Intrigued by the county, he saidhe started researching what makes the county tick from the county's community SeePetrocine / Page 3B

Choosing the right font for a resume is important. Typographers suggest using a san-serif font such as Helvetica or Proxima Nova.

Picking afontfor yourresume

By Natalie Kitroeff Bloomberg News

A resume, that piece of paperdesigned to reflect your best self, is one of the places where people still tend to usetypeface to express themselves.

It does not always go well, according to people who spend a lot of time looking at fonts. Bloomberg asked three typography wonks which typefaces make a curriculum vitae look classiest, which should never, ever been seen by an employer, and whether emojis are fair game.

We went digging for a complete set of professionally fly fonts and returned with just one consensus winner: Helvetica.

"Helveticaissono-fuss, it doesn't really lean in one directionoranother.Itfeels professional, lighthearted, honest," said Brian Hoff, creative director of Brian Hoff Design."Helvetica is safe.

Maybe that's why it's more businessy."

There are other options that,like Helvetica,are sansserif, m eaning their lettersdo not have the tiny"feet" that adorn the"7'in Times New

Roman, for example. Do not choose a cheap imitator, the experts counsel.

"If it's me, I'm using Helvetica. Helvetica is beautiful," said Matt Luckhurst, the creative director at Collins, a brand consultancy, in San Francisco."There is only one Helvetica."

Unless you're applying fora design job,human resource professionals probably wouldn't notice a knockoff font. But you would be on the wrong side of good taste. Could you live with that?

Say you're a high roller and want to actually purchase a font. Go with Proxima Nova, which Hoff calls a"cousin to Helvetica" with less of an edge.

"Ithas a softerfeel.

Helvetica can be more stifE and Proxima Nova feels a little rounder," Hoff said.

Proxima Nova is apparently a hit among suits."I never met a client that didn't like that typeface," he says. That kind of popularity does not come cheap: Just one style ofthefontcosts$29.99 at myfonts.com, and the entire 144-member family costs

ODllcreates Alfalfa growers familiar with waiting online gesticilie comglaintintake BAICER COUNTY

C;'

By Joshua Dlllen

WesCom News Service

To dew or not to dew.

That is the question.

And modern technology's answer is... don't dew.

Steam instead.

Waiting for dew to form is something that alfalfa growers are all too familiar with when it's time to start baling their crop.

Alfalfa isnotready for baling until the moisture isjustright— about 14 or 15 percent for large square bales.

If the alfalfa is too dry when baling, the leaves shatter and the crop's value drops.

Because of this, a farmer is at the mercy of Mother Nature — waiting for dew to form on windrows of excessively dry alfalfa waiting to

be baled.

And waiting.

Farmers often end up waiting until the wee hours of the m orning tobale,when dew has formed.

"Itcan costyou a lotof money," said Ontario farmer Chris Payne, who works about 12,000 acres including 2,000acresofcustom alfalfa and 4,000 acres of custom straw.

Denzil Robbins, center, talks business with a current customer, Chris Payne of Ontario, left, and Doug Newman, Robbins Farm Equipment employee. The Staheli Steamer is positioned between baler and tractor.

A solution to this dilemma is the DewPoint 6210 iStaheli Steamer) from StaheliWest.

The machine injects steam intothe alfalfa as it's baled to optimize the moisture content. According to the company's website, leafloss can be cut in half compared to baling with natural dew.

Justin McArthur, marketingdirectorforStaheliWest, explains the technology: "It's a isteam boiler) on wheels attached to a baler via hoses. The steam is applied by four manifolds in the mouth of the baler," McArthur said.'The operator can

"It's a cool document; it gave you a feel what the core work is here," he said.

'You know it is agriculture, but it gave details to help understand what goes on in the county and the opportunity for community self-reliance."

He said community self-reliance is what Community Solutions strives to do.

"Community Solutions is really about building community, making it more resilient and creating energy and independencejobs," Petrocine said.

Through his research and visits, he learned about Wallowa Resources, Community Solutions' parent organization, contacted its director, Nils Christoffersen, and told him he wanted to beapartofit atsome point.Matt King, the former program manager at Community Solutions, is working more and more with Renewable Energy Solutions out of Enterprise, working on sustainable energy and water projects

More leaf equals more money.

McArthur said in areas where it's too dry iwhere leaf lossorleaf"shatter"is a serious issue) the steam baling system keeps a farmer from leaving his profits in the field in the form ofleaves that could have been in the bales adding weight.

"The quality and the w eight are big,"he said.

"Matt pursuing overseas work and looking to step out of this role was the perfect time forme to step in,"Petrocine said."A role like this is so exciting for me. I expect to be there a long time."

One of the projects Petrocine will oversee is a feasibility study to determine the costs and benefits of a centralized wood-powered heating system that would support Enterprise City Hall, the Enterprise City Library and the Pioneer Guest House downtown.

"The idea is to have a centralized biomass boiler because each building won't need its own," Petrocine said.

The three buildings are within a block ofeach other.A centralbiomass boiler heats water and sends it through pipes connecting to the various buildings. It's a common system used in Europe and being rediscovered in the U.S. Petrocine said it is an exciting project because it will reduce heating costs and reduce buying fuel oil.

"Burning biomass in these modern boilers is highly efficient. Modern boilers are closely monitored by the Department of Environmental Quality and are

Payne said the system has increased his profits considerably because he has more leaf retention in his alfalfa resulting in hay that has a higher relative feed value.

Besides better quality hay, the technology saves time and increases his

yields.

''We've seen an increase of probably 120 pounds per bale," Payne said."Some of that might be moisture, but we're gaining a whole lot of leaf weight."

That and a decrease in baling hours have decreased his bottom line greatly, Payne sald.

McArthur said the DewPoint 6210 can contribute to m ore crop production aswell.

"By creating the market and connecting all the dots it expands that market and improves habitat and water quality," Petrocine said.

Hydropowerprojectsare also brewing for Petrocine with a feasibility study in the works for a power generator on the City of Joseph's water supply.

"There's a lot ofhydro buzz in the county right now with irrigators," Petrocine said.

In 2011, a micro-hydro project was installed on the Spaur Ranch in the Wallowa mid-valley with help from Community Solutions. Petrocine said thereare afew different projectsin predevelopment.

The second benefit is that thisprocessforcespeopleto eitherstep up,orto step out.

Upon recei ving a pesticide complaint, ODA also refersittothePesticide Analytical and Response Center, which acts as a clearinghouse for all PARC agencies. Member agencies have specialized roles, expertise and authority, working under a larger federal framework to ensure the safeuseofpesticides.

These agencies have collaboratively improved state coordination and communication when responding to concernsofpesticide impacts to people, animals and the environment.

Once a pesticide complaint is received, the complainant can expect to hear from ODA or a PARC member agency within one business day. PARC has also created a one-sheet document that can be converted into a poster, which providesa quick guide of what to do and who to call in theevent ofa pesticide incident concern. It can be found at www.oregon.gov/ ODA/programs/Pesticides/ Pages/PARC.aspx.

Oregonians with complaints about a pesticide incident can now file their concerns online with the Oregon Department of Agriculture, which has set up a new pesticide complaint intake feature on its website.

ODA hopes online reporting of incidents will make it easier for citizens to provide important information to the agency and result in a more timely response. eWe really encourage the public to let us know as soonas possibleif therehas been a pesticide incident impacting health or the environment so that we can immediately investigatethe matter if it is warranted," said Dale Mitchell, manager of ODA's Pesticides Program.

"ODA is the agency that investigatesimproper use ofpesticide products,but unfortunately, many people don't know where to go if they have been impacted or become awareofa pesticide incident."

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

California lawmakers are wading into the politically sticky issue of regulating medical marijuana, laying groundwork for state control ofthesale and cultivation of cannabis with the expectation that voters will legalize recreational use next year.

The Legislature is considering multiple — and conflicting — plans to impose the first major statewide restrictions on medical marijuana dispensaries and growers; the billion-dollar-a-year industry is now regulated largely by local governments.

The debate has pitted cities and law enforcement agencies against marijuana growers and sellers.

"The Legislature has an important itaskl in getting a bill passedthisyear,especially as we stare down 2016 and the propositi ons thataregoing to beon theballot"advocating general legalization, said Assemblyman Rob Bonta iD-Alamedal, author of one of the bills.'We need to have a strong regulatory structure in place before then."

Colorado, Washington, Oregonand Alaska have legalized recreational pot to varying degrees. In California, as many as four competinginitiatives to do so are in the works for next year's fall ballot.

Although 53.5 percent of California voters rejected a general legalization measure in 2010, a Public Policy Institute of California survey last month found that 53 percent now support legalization.

California was the first state to legalize the sale of marijuana for medical use when voters approved the idea in 1996.

Since then, 22 other states have adopted similar laws.

A study last year by the Survey Research Group, an arm of the Oakland-based Public Health Institute, estimated that 1.4 million Californians have used marijuana for medical purposes since the law took effect.

More than 1,000 marijuana dispensaries are operating in California, estimates Don Duncan, California director of the group Americans for Safe Access, which advocates for medical marijuana rights.

Stateeffortstoregulate the industry have stumbled over the years, in part because the U.S. government has maintained that sales of cannabis violate federal law.

The legal disparity has left cities and counties with their own hodgepodge of regulations. In 2013, for example,
