• La Grande High School band uses funds to pay for annual tour

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

The fireworks tent outside Walmart is empty except for a few students and their parents when another parent in a minivan pulls up with ice cream. ''Who had a cone?" one dad asks.

On one of the hottest days of summer so far, La Grande High School band members are manning the fireworks tent in Island City, the only tent selling fireworks in the area.

Taking two-hour shifts, the studentsare earning credits toward the next school year's band tour.

"Every year we have a fireworks fundraiser," says McKenzie Jerofke, a senior tenor sax player.

And each year, the band travelstoa m etropolitan area to soak in the musical opportunitiesthe citieshaveto offer.Last year, they went to Portland and the coastand the yearbefore that, Seattle. During Jerofke's freshman year, they went to Boise.

Mid-afternoon, the tent is relatively quiet, but Jerofke says they got a little rush during the lunch hour.

"It normally is in the evening we get the big flow," she says.

Band Director Chris Leavitt says the fundraiser has been heldeach year forclose to 30 years.

"Itook overin 2010,"he said.

"It's been a really great fundraiserforourprogram and for our kids."

At the end of the Fourth of July sales period, money is totaled and TNT Fireworks, which owns the operation and firew orks, donates 25 percent to the band. That moneyis then divided by shift work and credited to See Band / Page5A

• Oregonians paying more for gas than most other American drivers

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

U.S. drivers will pay more for gas over the Fourth of July holiday than they have since 2008 because of instability in Iraq, AAA reports.

The average price of gas in Oregon

is $3.98 a gallon, the highest price this year, compared to the national

average of $3.67 a gallon.

"Gas prices often decrease in June as refineries complete maintenance

and increase gasoline production in anticipation of the summer driving season," said Marie Dodds, AAA Oregon/Idaho public affairs director.

"That didn't happen this year due to the unexpected events in Iraq, and most drivers are paying about 15 to 20 cents more per gallon than expected as we head into the busy Independence Day travel weekend."

The national average reached its

year-to-date high of $3.70 on April 28, and AAA expects Oregon could breach $4 a gallon with the increase in crude prices. The last time Oregon's average reached or was over See Gas /Page5A

WASHINGTON — In 2012, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-ore., asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether law enforcement agencies in Oregon were being denied accesstoa database that monitors salesof key ingredients of methamphetamine.

Almost two years later, there is no indication the Justice Department has taken any action on Wyden's request. A department spokeswoman said in an email she could neither confirm nor deny the existence of any investigation.

But law enforcement in Oregon said accesstothe database isn'tan issue,because Oregon's law requiring a doctor's prescription for products that include pseudoephedrine, a nasal decongestant found in many cold medicines that can also be used to make methamphetamine, has been so successful.

The database in question is the National Precursor Log Exchange. NPLEx is a realtimelogofsalesofitems thatcontain pseudoephedrine.

Imnaha River Chinook fishing to open for one weekend only Observer staff

fin-clipped fish. All adult

ENTERPRISE — The Imnaha River will open for spring Chinook fishing on Saturday and Sunday under temporary rules announced Tuesday by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The river will be open from the mouth to the Summit Creek Bridge with a daily bag limit of two adult finclipped Chinook salmon and five fin-clipped jacks, which are salmon less than 24 inches long.

After Sunday, the fishery will remain open for jacks with a daily limit of five

Chinook must be released unharmed.The jack fishery will remain open until a closure is announced.

The short season is indicative of the low number ofhatchery fish headed for the Imnaha River, said Jeff Yanke, ODFW fish biologist in Enterprise.

Last month Yanke said he delayedopening the Chinook fishery on the Imnaha with the expectation that the number of hatchery fish in the system would increase over time. It's now clear that the hatchery fish are not

coming, he said.

However, because the number of wild fish is on targetto meet pre-season projections, the fishery can support a limited Chinook fishery. The fishery will be managed on a hatchery harvest of fewer than 100 fish, which still exceeds last year's harvest limit of 83 fish.

"Even with the low hatchery return, there will be a Chinook season on the Imnaha, albeit a short one," Yanke said."I hope lots of anglers will be enjoying some salmon fishing over the holiday weekend."

Editorial from The Bend Bulletin:

%%~6'

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, was a happy manJune 25 when the U.S.Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the government must get a warrant before it goes trolling through the information you've stored on your cellphone.

Happy, yes. But not completely satisfied.

It's still legal for the federal government to track you through the GPS included on that phone or the one that's in your car or on your wrist. That power, he believes, must be curbed.

He, more than most Oregonians, should know.

He's been a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee for a decade or more, and he has long believed the law needs to catch up with life in the digital age, at least where privacy is concerned.

Thus he has worked to rein in the National Security Agency's habit of gathering millions of telephone records as a matter of routine, and thus he continues to work to require the government to obtain a warrant before it tracks you through your

GPS. Like the cellphone, the GPS is a wonderful tool when used correctly. It can get you where you want to go without the hassle ofhaving to stop and read a map. Law enforcement can use it to tracka lostchild,or lostadult,forthatm atter.

It can also be used by agencies ranging from the NSA to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to trackwhomever they please,wherever and whenever they please. Unless they're required to go to court to get a warrant — and for now they're not — you maynever know.They doso,they'relikely to tell you, in the name of national security.

Wyden hopes the high court's position on cellphone data will be mirrored in any ruling it might make on warrantless GPS surveillance. We do too.

The court did not fiatly outlaw getting data fi om cellphones; it did say warrants are required, and in agenuine emergency,they may be obtained afterthefact.

That strikes a reasonable balance between the right to privacy and the need for information. A similar decision on GPS would simply extend that balance.

MYVOICE

Time to protectour long-term eal hemicals invade our lives insidiously and have disastrous cumulative long-term effects on human health and the environment.

Vector control spraying by air is especially invasive. There is no way individuals livingin targeted areas and beyond can avoid it. I live just south of the Island City city limits on a small farm where hay was in windrows one Monday evening while a vector control plane sprayed Island City.

I was unaware of that fact when my hay crewarrived Wednesday morning just after the hay had been baled. Almost immediately, the men loading the trailer began suffering serious problems: swelling and welts on the arms, legs, chests, abdomens, swollen faces, eye irritation and reddening and obvious difficulty breathing. We stopped after only about 20 minutes. The men did not have health insurance and declined to go to the emergency room. They went home to shower hoping the symptoms would disappear on their own as they did over the course of the day.

I questioned the person who did the cutting, raking and baling. He had done nothing differently. Two of the affected workers have loaded hay bales for me for years with no ill effects. Something was wrong. I then learned that Island City had done vector control spraying Monday evening. I thought those sprayings were by truck but learned it was by air. I'm less than a quarter mile from the Island City limits.

I learned the cocktail being applied is Dibrom with Naled the primary active ingredient. The Internet gave valuable

Itrequirestheuseof enclosedcabs forruralapplication, forbids human flaggers during application and establishes a 48-hour re-entry interval before workers could return to fields after application. This is in sharp contrast to the information and assurances our vector control officer, Kelly Buhler, offers.

FOURTH OF JULY SAFETY

Fire officials urge caution with Fireworks

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

La Grande Fire Chief Bruce Weimer is urging residents to keep safety in mind as they light up their fireworks this Fourth of July.

"Eventheso-called safe,approved fireworks, you can't control them once they'reignited,"he said.

Exploding fireworks, like firecrackers, and ones that shoot up in the air, like bottle rockets, are illegal in Oregon, Weimer said.

"There's a reason why they're illegal.

They explode prematurely," he said.

When usingthe approved fi reworks, Weimer said it's vital that people keep

safetyatop priority.

"First of all, children should not be lighting fireworks without adult supervision," he said.

People should have a water source nearby, like a hose or at a minimum a bucket of water, Weimer said. When finished, people should soak the fireworks to make sure they ale dead out.

"Make sure you're in a clear space," he said."iMake sure) you're not at risk of them jumping the curb to get into grass, shrubbery."

Interim State Fire Marshal Jim Walker also reminds people that fireworks are prohibited on Oregon beaches, in parks and campgrounds.

GAS

There were 197 reported fireworksrelated fires in Oregon during 2013, resulting in one death and 38 injuries, according to the fire marshal.

Offlcials are authorized to seize illegal fireworks and fine offenders up to $500 per violation. People who misuse fireworks or allow them to cause damage areliableand may be required to pay fire suppression costs or other damage.

"All Oregonians share the responsibility to use only legal fireworks and use them carefully,"Walker said."And we encourage you to be aware and considerateofneighborsand theirpets before deciding on when and where you choose to light fireworks."

The Wallowa Lake county park is a godsend in the life of a woman who covers an entire county, from rodeos to car wrecks, alone. If it wasn't for the lake and the rivers for breaks from the summertime work pace, I'd probably crumble like a stale chocolate chip cookie.

Undersheriff Jim Yon says Ashby"Al" Getz was reported missing late Monday night from a residence outside Scio.

The sherifFs office used deputies, county search and rescue responders and the county dive team to search for the man. The Oregon Air National Guard sent a helicopter.

Yon says the man's body w as found by the Oregon Air National Guard on Tuesday morning in the middle of the creek. The dive team recovered the body.

Oregon hires firm to link to federal site PORTLAND — Oregon has hired a tech firm to help transfer the botched Cover Oregon health insurance exchange to the federal exchange website and finish building the state's Medicaid system.

The Oregon Health Authority will pay Deloitte

Consulting, LLC up to $18.4 million to be the systems integratorthatoversees the transition.

The transition will be finished by the next open enrollment in November.

Facing execution, Oregon man takes life PORTLAND — A Lake Oswego man facing a possible death sentence for killing his mother and nephew has made a bargain with prosecutors: a life sentence without possibility of parole and no appeals to higher courts.

The Oregonian reported that Adrien Graham Wallace was sentenced Tuesday.

Last week, a jury took about 12 minutes to convict him ofaggravated murder.

After conferring with his attorneys, Wallace decided not to go ahead with the sentencing phase in which the jury could have sentenced him to die.

Wallace did not deny killing 71-year-old Saundra Sue Wallace in 2012, along with 16-year-old Nicholas Brian Juarez. They were shot at close range with a militarystyle rifle.

Man takes plea deal in death of woman PENDLETON — One of three men accused of killing an 80-year-old Eastern Oregon woman in a home invasion robbery has pleaded guilty tolessercharges in a deal with the prosecution.

Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus says 20-year-old Jacob Lee White has pleaded guilty to robbery and burglary.

The East Oregonian reportedhe'llbesentenced afterthe trialsoftwo other suspects in the killing of Joyce Key near MiltonFreewater.

Authorities said she was tied to a kitchen chair, blindfoldedand beaten.She died months later.

Awaiting trial in December is 22-year-old Caleb Leon John Scott. He's accused of murder.

A trial is scheduled next year for 21-year-old Matthew Raymond Hermann. He's accused of aggravated murder, which could carry the death penalty.

All three are from near Walla Walla, Wash.

Weighmasters won't stop trucks PORTLAND — A review of the shooting death of a weighmaster five months ago has led Clackamas County to order weighmastersto stop pulling over trucks.

Consultants told the county that the uniforms and cars lead drivers to believe weighmasters are police offtcers,butthey are not trained or equipped like officers.

Authorities believe Grady Waxenfelter was perceived as an officer when he was fatally shot by a truck driver

duringa February traffi c stop. The suspect remains at large.

The Oregonian reported Clackamas County Administrator Donald Krupp ordered county weighmasters to stop pulling over commercial vehicles Monday while the county reconsiders the future of the program.

Consultants say weighmasters should look less like copsorbe commissioned as special deputies.

Man killed in Klamath County town KLAMATH FALLS — Authorities in Klamath County say a woman has been arrested in the shooting death of a man in Bly, a small town east of Klamath Falls.

District Attorney Rob Patridge said in a statement the shooting happened Monday butreleased few details aboutit.

He identified the victim as 23-year-old Blake Anthony Brazeal. He said 58-year-old Marilyn Ann Harding was in custody.

PORTLAND — Don't tell the rest of the country, but people in the Pacific Northwest are feeling the heat.

While the South roasted under triple-digit temperatures, Portland residents sweated through their tank tops Tuesday, the city's hottestday sofarthisyearat 99 degrees.

That may not sound like much to hot-weather warriors in Arizona, where it was a dry 108 degrees Tuesday.

But people in swimming holes on Oregon's Sandy River and on rocky beaches in Washington state had a m essage fortheirskeptical countrymen: If you turn up the heat, do we not burn?

Also, cut us a break, we don't have air conditioners.

"Two days ago, we were at

Sure, people in hotter spots might roll their eyes.

Some even brought their warm-weather superiority to the rainy region.

The Pacific Northwest suffered one last weather indignity: Even meteorologists declined to classify one hot day as a heat wave.

The 12-and-under La Grande Wolfpack found more trouble than head coach Shane Frederick expected Tuesday, but managed to pull out a 9-5 victory over MiltonFreewater at the Pendleton Tournament semifinals. awe did not play our best

s

La Grande dominates The La Grande 14-under baseball team totaled 56 runs over the course of four games in two days with the MiltonFreewater Junior Legion team to sweep back-to-back doubleheaders.

On Monday in La Grande, La Grande used a nine-run fifth inning to win 16-6 in a five-inning, mercy-rule victory.

The nightcap saw a great pitching performance collectively for La Grande, with DerekWilliams, Logan Atkinson and Andrew Peasely combining for a onehitter during a 11-1 win. Peasely helped himself at the plate with a 3-for-3 hitting display.

The teams traveled to Milton-Freewater for Tuesday's contests, but the results were still the same. La Grande won the first game 11-1, with Jayce Leonard going 3-for4, while Atkinson and Bryant Gerdes each added a pair of base hits. La Grande finished with an 18-1 win in the second, with Williams, Atkinson and Caleb Lathrop combining for a no-hitter, striking out seven MiltonFreewater batters, and every La Grande hitter reached base.

After going down 1-0 in the second inning, the Mud Dogs i3-0 overall) responded with an eight-run explosion in the fourth inning to take control of the game. Alec Cranford, who played hisfi rstcompetitive baseballgame since suffering a knee injury just over a year ago in the Class 4A state baseball tournament, got the scoring started with a RBI single, sending his brother, Isaiah, home.

"It felt great to be out on the field," Alec Cranford said."I feel really healthy. I was scared of turning my knee and re-tearing my meniscus, but after this game. I'm feeling a lot more confident about my knees."

Isaac Chamberlain scored the final run of the inning after Garrett Vaughn was hit by a pitch. By the time the fourth inning was over, the Mud Dogs had taken 20 at bats.

However, Frederick said he was not happy with the team's defense, which gave up five errors.

After the buses were blocked, federal authorities rerouted the vehicles to a &eeway and then to a customs and border facility in San Diego within view of the Mexico border.

The three buses were trailed by a half-dozen news crews during the two-

hour trip. People near the San Diego facilitywere surprised by the caravan.

Juan Silva, 27, a welder in Chula Vista, said he thought officials were transporting drug traffickers. Then he heard the buses were carrying migrant families.

Givilian deaths in Iraq

McCiatchy Foreign Staff

The number of civilians killedin Iraq has risen sharply since ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) rebels began their attack.

IRBIL, Iraq — Hopes that Iraqi politicians would rapidlyform a new government to help counter the advance of Islamist gunmen and win U.S. help were dashed on Tuesday after Sunni Muslim and Kurdish members of the Iraqi Parliament walked out of what was to have been their first session since elections in April.

The failure to form a new governmenteven as fi ghters &om the Islamic State remained within striking distance of Baghdad hardened fears that the country's leaders are unable to work together to keep Iraq &om fragmenting under the pressure of an insurgency that thrives in the nation's sectarian political climate.

U.S. officials have all but insisted on the replacement of Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki, a Shiite Muslim who is seeking his third four-year term aspremier,astheprice for military assistance to beat back the Islamic State.

But whatever lobbying American officials had done seemed to have little effect.

The debut ofthe newly elected Parliament was brief

and tense, with sideline insults that led to walkouts by Kurdish and Sunni legislators. With its quorum gone, the session was adjourned until next week.

That means al-Maliki remains in place for now as caretaker prime minister, much to the chagrin of opponents at home and abroad who criticize his governance as inef fectual,sectarian and increasingly autocratic.

In Washington, White House press secretary Josh Earnest, asked how long the U.S. was prepared to wait for Iraq's government to pull itself together, said, "It continues to be imperative that Iraq's new leaders move forward with the extreme urgency that the current situationdeserves."

Meanwhile, the head of the radical Islamic State, whose fighters have overrun much of Iraq in the last three weeks, called on Islamists throughout the world to flock to Syria and Iraq to fight for the Muslim caliphate, which the Islamic State announced ithad formed over the weekend.

In a message to mark the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which began over the weekend, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi said that all true Muslims should join the new caliphate, travel to the new state and help build an Islamic nation to replace what he called the unholy notions of nationalism and tribalism.

The Internet posting referred to al-Baghdadi as the "prince of the faithful," the histori-

calterm adopted by the top leader of the Islamic world.

"So let the world know that we are living today in a new era," al-Baghdadi said in the five-page statement.

"Whoever was heedless must now be alert. Whoever was sleeping must now awaken.

Whoever was shocked and amazed must comprehend.

The Muslims today have a loud, thundering statement, and possess heavy boots.

They have a statement that will cause the world to hear and understand the meaning ofterrorism, and boots that will trample the idol of nationalism, destroy the idol of democracy and uncover its deviant nature."

Direct Music Source of La Grande has taken many stridesforward sinceitopened

The latest ofthese strides,one proving both exhausting and invigorating, is now virtually complete.

Direct Music's staff is finishing a move from 1010 Adams Ave. to 1206 Adams Ave. The music store began operating at its new location Monday. aWe're still putting displays up, but we are open," said Anthony iTonyl Corig, who owns Direct Music Source with his wife, Margaret.

The move will add musical tempo to Friday nights in La Grande and help the store showcase the ingenuity of Oregon's musical spirit.

The new Direct Music Source location has about twice the space it previously did. The additional space will allow Direct Music to increase its inventory, which will include the Breedlove guitar line.

The Breedlove model was developed in Bend, where the popular guitar is now manufactured. aWe have wanted to add that line for some time," Corig said.

Businesses rise and fall based on the ability of the managers in the organization to hire, educate,m otivate and focus the right employees on key success factors. That responsibility begins and ends with the owner. If an owner wants to make more money, the first thing that must happen is that the amount of time spent coaching the company's managers must increase.

This does not mean"spend more time doing the job of the managers who report to you." Managers are on the payroll to getthingsdone through people. If the current crop of managers are not managing, the company can make more money by terminating the managers not doing what they are paid to do and replacing them with people who have the right skills, abilities and attitude.

That is the second way to make more money for the company.

Managers are not overhead, and they are not coststobe cut.M anagers arecriticalto the successof an organization and have key responsibilities including communication, focus, education and training, cost control, analysis, focus and motivation.

Individuals with this title have to make tough decisions that are not always popular.

That is the nature of managing people: Management is not a popularity contest.

Not many people are promoted into management SeeKeller / Page 2B

Triple C Redi-Mix Triple C Redi-Mix, a concrete and gravel supplier located just

northeast of Baker City, near Highway 86, won thevoluntary reclamation award, which goes to a company that reclaims land that's exempt from the state's mandatory reclamation laws.

In 1995, company owner Cass Vanderwiele began backfilling severalold excavations on the northern end ofhis property.

These excavations, mined priorto 1972,wereexempt from reclamation requirements. Over the years, the shallow excavations had become overgrown with weeds and blackberries.

Concrete, tiresand otherdebris were dumped in the excavations.

"It is exciting and exhausting at the same time," Anthony Corig said.

The Corigs like their new storenotonly because ofits additional space, but also because itis more centrally located in downtown La Grande. Like their old store, Direct Music's new location is also on the southwest side of Adams Avenue.

KELLER Continued frorn Page 1B with a set of success skills.

It is the responsibility of the owner to teach success skills to the managers who report to him or her. That is the third way to make money for the company: Teach the managers how to manage to achievethe desired resultsof the company.

The role of the owner is educator and coach.Time should be spent discussing with each manager how they can improve.

The owner must put an individual action plan into place for each manager and hold them accountable for meeting deadlines.

The fourthway to make moneyis to find away to have every manager use his or her strengths on the job. This not only makes the m anager feelbetter;itengages them and encourages them to be better at what they arebeing paid todo.

If managers have strengths but there is no effective way to utilize them in the company, it might be time toseeifthere areother places bettersuited to take advantageofwhat they have to offer.

cies and procedures. Organizationsdon'tcreaterulesand guidelines in a vacuum. They are created for a reason, and managers have jobs to enforce company policy — that includes the owner as well.

The sixth way to make money is for the owner to overcommunicate everything.

Thereisa diseaserelated to loss ofhearing and memory, and managers can be those who are aNicted early and often.

Once a manager gets the disease, itquickly spreads to other managers and to employees. The symptoms are numerous, often surfacing through whining, complaining and shock with a dose of indignation.

The disease is NOTMA, which stands for "no one told me anything."

Managers must be given daily doses of communication to limit the spread of this disease. Every important message, deadline and event must be repeated, tim eand time again, just in case a manager comes down with the symptoms on any given day.

What does it take for the owner to reap the benefits trom these six methods? It takes the commitment of time and focus fora prolongedperiodoftim etom ake a difference. What is the alternative? The answer is the status quo — an underperforming company and a fiustrated owner.

To the heroes still among us-

EFFORTS Continued from Page 1B late May to early June, the ponds would fill with up to five feet of water and become mosquito-breeding grounds.

Reclamation began with clearing the invasive vegetation. Thousands of cubic yards of fill material were then hauled in to level the ground. Soil material trom the active mine site was then spread as a final cover. The ponds being created by the active mining will be developed into wildlife habitat as final reclamation.

Approximately six to seven acres have been returned to agricultural production by this reclamation project.

Peas were planted as the first crop in spring 2002. This crop will be tilled into the soil as a soil-building exercise next fall. Alfalfa will ultimately be planted.

Beyond their voluntary reclamation efforts, Triple C has developed numerous innovations to improve their operation, including: • Multiple methods of water control have beenimplemented. Sumps were installed throughout the yard to collect storm waterand directthiswater to the excavations. Overburden strippings with high clay content are used to seal the pit wall to reduce the amount of groundwater infiltration. This reduces the amount of water that must be pumped trom active excavations but alsoreduces the slope angleofthe excavation wall.

• Triple C is backfilling mined out areas.

Itwasdiscovered that using broken concrete as the first layer of backfill dramatically increased the infiltration rate of sitting storm water at the surface, which helped reduce the amount of turbid water generated on site.

• On an annual basis, Triple C alters the truck tratfic within the permit boundary to lessen the potential impact on nesting geese.

Western Mine Development LLC The company and its mining manager, Philip Wirth, received the outstandingoperator award for Division II for work on the Twin Lake Ranch along Clarks Creek in southern Baker County near Bridgeport.

Western Mine Development of Baker County was honored with the 2013 Outstanding Operator, Division II Award in DOGAMI's Mined Land Reclamation awards.

The Outstanding Operator Awards recognizeoperations thathave done an excellent job of mine development and/or operations on a daily basis. The Division II award recognizes "mom and pop"operations thatgo beyond regulations to protect surface and groundwater,to protectadjacent naturalresources, toprotectadjacent properties, and that use innovative techniques to minimize adverse impacts.

Western Mine Development's initial planning and development, along with its day-to-dayoperations, help ensure protection ofnatural resources adjacent to its Twin Lake Ranch gold mining site.

The Twin Lake Ranch site is at the historic China Town settlement along Clarks Creek Mining along Clarks Creek goes back to the 1880s when the valley was dfedged atleasttwo separate tim es.

Dredge piles still line the creek bed.

Modern mining began in 2007, with an operatingpermit issued forfullscale mining in 2008.

Disputes between the then-operator and landowner resulted in a loss of leaseand permit transfer.

Western Mine Development assumed the lease and the mining permit in 2011.

Wirth began his career in the aggregate industry in the Willamette Valley.

Backed by Wirth's vast mining experience and sound business sense, Western Mine took steps to improve relations with the landowner and protect natural resources. Notable efforts include:

• Western Mine had a surveyor monument all corners of the permit boundary and mark the boundary in the field to ensure all operations were within the boundary. This is now a requirement for all new mine operations.

Wetlands were also identified and buffers marked in the field to protect these surfacewater features.

• During the vital initial exploration phase, Western Mine hired a seismic crew torun crosssectionsacrosstheproperty to accurately determine the depth to bedrock, and subsequently the depth to the pay zone, which is a relatively thin layer sitting abovethebedrock.

•A state-of-the-artprocessing plant was constructed on site, along with processwater ponds to contain allprocess water on site. The processing plant doesnotusechemicals to separate the gold trom the alluvial material. Gravity separation is used after the finer materialis segregated away from the coarse excavated materials.

• Soil material is stripped and salvagedseparately trom overburden for final reclamation. As the excavationprogresses,overburden isused to backfill the mined out area in a process called concurrent reclamation. Two feet of soil material is then spread and the area planted in a Natural Resources Conservation Service-approved weedtree pasture grass mixture.

The area is being reclaimed back to useforlivestock grazing.

It's fun to play in water whether at a pool, beach, lake, river or a water park but it is important to know your limits and stay safe. Remember, drowning can occur in less than two minutes.

agreatway II( to beat the heat!

Water Cup

RelayRace

Two-player teams each have a full bucket and an empty bucket. Place the full bucket at the starting line, the empty bucket at the finish.

Put a check mark next to the rules that make swimming in a pool safer. Cross out rules that do not make pools safer.

P Never go in the water alone.

Always be sure an adult who can swim is watching you.

Find It

The first team member scoops a plastic cup of water from the full bucket and must walk quickly to the finish line holding the full cup over their head.

Find these things hiding in this picture: a banana, a house, a crayon, a fish, a surfboard and a dinosaur.

g Do not depend on inflatabletoys or water wings to keep your head above water.

object by the number of syllables.

1 syllable 2 syllables 3 syllables

P Don't crawl or walkon a pool cover.

The team member pours the water from the cup into the finish line bucket and runs back to the start, handing the cup to his teammate, who repeats the process.

P Stay in the shallow end of the pool ifyou are not a strong swimmer.

The first team to move the most water from start to finish is the winner.

Notice of the Availability of an Environmental Assessment The USDA Rural Development has received an application for financial assistance from the City of Island City, Oregon. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, Rural Development has approved an Environmental Assessment prepared by Anderson Perry 8 Associates, Inc., that evaluated the potential environmental effects and consequences of the proposed project. This notice announces the availability of the Environmental Assessment for public review and comment.

USDA is publishing this notice in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act review. Subsurface cultural studies are a requirement for funding of this project by Rural Development as the project lies in an area with a high likelihood of containing cultural resources. Completion of the cultural surveys will include development of mitigation measures with interested Tribal governments and Oregon's State Historic Preservation Office to avoid or minimize impacts to any culturally sensitive areas to be disturbed by the project.

The proposed project consists of a new well, new water reservoir, new booster pump system, improvements to the existing Well No. 4 Booster Pump Station, and several distribution system piping improvements. The proposed improvements to the distribution system include replacing existing pipelines in portions of "A" Street, South "D" Street, Harris Street, North "E" Street, South "E" Street, North "B" Street, White Birch Lane, McAlister Road, East First Street, Third Street, Railroad Avenue, Mt. Fanny Street, and Emily Drive to help reduce water loss, improve system looping and water quality, and improve available fire flow capacities. The new well, reservoir, and booster pump station will be located within the City limits and Urban Growth Boundary on property located directly south of the Island City Cemetery. Environmental impacts resulting from this project include farmland conversion of 0.21 acre (not requiring mitigation). A cultural resource survey including subsurface testing will be conducted within the footprint of the storage reservoir, new well, and pump house as well as all distribution system piping improvements within previously undisturbed areas in order to identify cultural resources within the area. A Cultural Resource Monitor will be on site during all earth disturbing activities. The project is intended to improve the reliability of water service provided to the residents in the City of Island City.

The alternatives considered to the proposed project include:

Copies of the Environmental Assessment are available for review at U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Attn: State Environmental Coordinator, 1201 N.E. Lloyd Blvd, Suite 801, Portland, Oregon 97232-1274. For further information contact Charlotte Rollier, State Environmental Coordinator, USDA Rural Development, 503-414-3356, or locally at the City of Island City Hall, 10605 lsland Avenue, Island City, Oregon 97850. Any person interested in commenting on this proposed project should submit comments tothe address above by July 30, 2014.

A general location map of the proposal is shown below.

hasbrokenhis eart DEARABBY: Ijust found out that my husband of80 years is having an ajj"air.

When Iconfronted him, he said: "I have a girlfriend. I can't imagine the rest of my life without girlfriends, so get over it."

Then he told me he has never been faithful, but that he loves me and would be devastated ifI left. He considers his fooling around to be "safe and harmless escapades.

Abby, my heart is broken.

He has flaunted this woman in my face, and embarrassed and humiliated me in public.

Now he's angry with me because I told her husband what is going on.

How do I ftnd the strength and courage to leave? I have some health issues and haven't worked in years.W hat do I tell our kids? My world is crashing down around my ears.

Congress has only 16 working days to reach an agreement before the August recess. Finding even a shortterm solution might prove difftcult. Last week, the Senate Finance Committee attemptedtomove forward

The Highway Trust Fund, which pays states for road and transit projects, is expected to go broke soon; the projection, by month in billions of dollars: $10.5 billion

U.S. Department of Transportation said Tuesday that it would start limiting paym ents to statesforroad and transit projects next month in an attempt to conserve the federal Highway Trust Fund's rapidly diminishing cash balance.

Usually, the department reimburses states for transportationprojectsupon request. But beginning Aug. 1, the states will have to live paycheck to paycheck, receiving funds only once every two weeks as money is collected through federal gasoline taxes.

The move may put pressure on Congress to approve at least a short-term fix before its August break begins.

The DOT estimates that the

message that stabilizing the Highway Trust Fund is a priority now," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the committee's chairman.

But Wyden's plan went nowhere after Republicans said it wasn't bipartisan enough.

"I amdisappointedthat the Senate appears to be heading down a partisan road on highway funding," Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement last week.

Since the Interstate Highway System was created in 1956, a per-gallon tax on motor fuels has supported federal spending on transportation. The tax has been stuckat 18.4 centsforgasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel since 1993, and it has lost its buying power to inflation.
