The Observer

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT On July 8, President Harry S. Truman named Gen. Douglas MacArthur commander-inchief of United Nations forces in Korea. (Truman ended up sacking MacArthur for insubordination nine months later.)

ON THIS DATE In1776, Col. John Nixon gave the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, outside the State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson received a tumultuous welcome in NewYork City after his return from the Versailles Peace Conference in France. In1965, Canadian Pacific Air Lines Flight 21, a Douglas DC-6B, crashed in British Columbia after the tail separated from the fuselage; all 52 people on board were killed in what authorities said was the result of an apparent bombing. In 1989, Carlos Saul Menem was inaugurated as president of Argentina in the country's first transfer of power from one democratically elected civilian leader to another in six decades.

The Fourth of July is usually a time of celebration for many Americans but for the Hatton family of La Grande, this Independence Day proved to be extra special. This Fourth of July marked the end of a remarkable journey for 20-yearoldKai Hatton as hecapped a 10,000mile bicycle trip across the United States. "Idecided todothetrip atthe beginning of my senior year," Hatton said. He began planning his trip for after graduation. Hatton left Salem on his trek across the country with a heavy mountain bike and 70 pounds of supplies in October 2014 and returned — four bike chains later and 20 pounds lighteron Saturday. "I just really wanted to see the country and see what was out there before I went to school, and thought it was the best way to immerse myself in the areas I was going through — instead of just driving them," he said. Hatton started in Salem at his paternal grandparents' house. From there he traveled south to Eugene, and then pedaled to Florence. He followed the coastline south, to San Diego, before heading east to Phoenix, Arizona. "From there I followed the Mexican border through El Paso, Texas, and then followed pretty much a straight line across Texas going through Austin and north of Houston," Hatton said. From Texas, Hatton traveled to New Orleans, where he experienced the first week of the annual Mardi Gras celebration. He then followed the Gulf Coast before cutting up to Tallahassee and dropping back down to the west coastofFlorida. Hattonsaid hislongestridewa s 127 miles in one day as he trekked toward Key West, Florida. Also along the way, Hatton took a three-week internship at Rewined Candles, a candle shop, in Charleston, South Carolina, which he said was one

A 43-year career with the military is ending for Lou Gerber of La Grande. Gerber, however, views his retirement as a beginning, not a conclusion. Gerber is using the occasion ofhis retirementto start what he hopes becomes an annual event — a reunion of Gerber those who have served as members of Oregon National Guard's 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment. The kickoff of the planned series of reunions is Saturday at the Blue Mountain Conference Center. The 3-116th Hail and Farewell event is open to everyone who has a connection to the National Guard unit. The public is also welcome to attend. "I want to make it an annual event, where everyone can get together. We want peopleto come together and renew old relationships," said Gerber, a longtime member of the 3-116th. Gerbersaid itisunfortunate when the bonds developed between those in a National Guard unit are frayedby thepassage oftim e. "A strongcamaraderie is developedamong people in the military," noted Gerber, a medic, who was deployed to Iraq for 18 months in 2004 and 2005 while with the La Grande-based 3-116th. The Hail and Farewell event on Saturday will begin with a social hour at 5 p.m., and a buffet dinner will be served at 6 p.m. Those attending will be able to choose primeriborstuffed chicken breast as their main entree.

Kai Hatton rides through La Grande July 4 after an 8-1/2-month trek across the United States. ofhis favorite parts of the trip. Hatton then traveled across the Everglades, followingtheeastcoast up to Maine and going across upstate New York, visiting Vermont and New Hampshire along the way. "I followed the Erie Canal through upstate New York to Lake Erie, and then went up into Canada," Hatton said. At the border, Hatton ran into a bump in the road, as the border patrol grilled him on who he was and why he wantedtocrossthe border.The patrol guard even asked to see Hatton's bank account, to confirm that he actually had money. "They were probably just checking to make sure he wasn't a bum," Hatton's mother, Denise Hatton said. After leaving Canada, Hatton came back into the U.S. on the north side of Detroi tand made a straight lineto Levinton, Michigan, before taking a ferry boat across Lake Michigan. Once in Minneapolis, Hatton caught a train that took him to Glacier National Park in Montana, and then he biked a straight shot to La Grande. Along the way, Hatton stayed in campgrounds, or at houses through a program called Warm Showers. "It's like couch surfing," Hatton explained."Only for cyclists."

Bicyclists and potential hosts both create online profiles through the Warm Showers site. The site provides an interactive map and other search tools that allow travelers to find hosts on their routes. Travelers can send private messages to potential hosts through the site. Hosts may then offer hospitality consisting of a couch, a room oraplaceto camp. Partoftheir online profile also includes what else they are willing to offer — food, showers or bike support. "I had several planned stops with extended family or family friends,a Hatton said.'Then I kindofdrew lines betweenthose istopsland looked for hosts within those routes." Denise Hatton said she was excited for her son on his trip, but she also worried about his welfare. "For me it was kind of a mixture of the two extreme iemotionsl,a Denise Hatton said."Sometimes I was like, he's going to get mugged, he's going to get killed, he's going to get run overby a car,he'sgoing tofalloffofa clifF — all those bad things. The other half of the time I was thinking, this is what he needs.Heneeds a break fiom schooland it'sgoing to be great." Hatton will now move onto college at the Oregon Institute of Technology, where he will study mechanical engineering this fall.

LOCAL BRIEFING From stag reports

Wolf pack blamed for death of sheep The Umatilla River wolf pack has been blamed for the death of two sheep in the Weston Mountain area. An investigation report released Monday said a sheep herder found two injured sheep early Thursday afternoon. Soon after the discovery a male lamb died from its injuries and a ewe was euthanizedas aresultofits injuries. Later that day, another male lambwas discovered injured in the same area and iscurrently being cared for by the livestock owner. The following day the carcass of a fourth sheep was discovered 25 yards up the canyon from where the ewe was originally found by the herder. Ithad been partially consumed similar to the

previous two sheep and is assumed to have died as a result of the same incident. The report said the sheep herder found tracks near where the first two dead sheep were found, and an investigation conducted by an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist revealed bite wounds consistent with previous wolf attacks. The sheep were killed in an area within the Umatilla River pack home range. Currentlythere are noradiocollars on any of these wolves. The report said Umatilla River pack wolves have periodically depredated other sheep in the larger general area for three years. In June 2014, several dead sheep were killed by the pack in the Wildhorse Road area. The same sheep and pen had confirmed wolf depredation

by the Umatilla River pack in 2012.

an anecdote about how they just visited Joe's widget factory and how Joe is successful doing some great things.

It all sounds like a Hallmark card for small business. But when the Legislature is in session, that seems to have been just talk. The concern for helping businesses grow vanishes. It becomes a race to add taxes, fees and regulation. This session there was the requirement for businesses to add paid sick leave. We happen to hope businesses have paid sick leave. Maybe small businesses will be able to find a way to make the new law work, or maybe it could be a reason to close up. The Legislature did not do enough to protect small businesses and their employees. This session there was also the low-carbon fuel standard. It's a tax guaranteed to increase the price of transporting goods in Oregon — let alone getting to work. And that all comes with questionable benefit to the climate. As bad as the fuel standard is, what made it worse is that its passage blocked what every Oregonian and everyOregon business could have used:a transportation package to improve the state's roads. Aker the session, very important state politicians sent out press releases telling Oregonians that they and other very important state politicians proclaim this Legislature a success. And in their vision of sincere do-goodery, perhaps it was. But what it really did for small business is create more fatiguing problems and challenges for them to survive. •

ear friends of the Umatilla National Forest and Blue Mountains, Ihope you arehaving a greatsummer so far. I also hope your summer plans include spending some time enjoying your national forests. Since itis your forest, we at the Forest Service need and wantyour help, so we can be better stewards of the land. In July, there will be several opportunities for you to getinvolved, and I would like to invite you to attend one of the public workshops. These community workshops will focus on the Blue Mountains Forest Plans. Now, you might be wondering, what is a Forest Plan, and why do we need one? Those are fair questions. A Forest Plan is a big-picture strategy thatcoordinates multipleusesacross the forest— such as recreation,w ildlife habitat, hunting, grazing, logging and many others. A Forest Plan also helps us to navigate the long list of laws, policies and regulations with which the Forest Service must comply. The Forest Service is actually required by law lNational Forest Management Act of 1976) to preparea ForestPlan and revise itevery 15yearstoaddresschanging needs and conditions. The current Forest Plan is from 1990, and the landscape has changed significantlyover these25 years,so it'stim e for a new plan to guide our future landmanagement decisions. Last summer we asked folks to comment on our draft Environmental Impact Statement related to the Blue Mountains Forest Plans. I want to thank everyone who took the time to submit formal comments. We heard you, and we

FIRE Continued from Page1A go," Goodrich said. "If it had started in late August it might have been a totally different situation. But considering we've got typicall y another 90 days of fire season left, we just don't want to deal with a longterm ifirel in the wilderness, or anywhere." The Forest Service has allowed several lightning fires that started in July to burn in the Eagle Cap Wilderness — although most of those blazes were ignited late in the month. Goodrich said conditions were different in those summers, with considerably more residual moisture from the snowpack, which limited those blazes' potential for rapid growth in the wilderness. The experience last week of the 16 smokejumpers from McCall, Idaho, who parachuted into the Eagle Cap to try to stop the Dennis Creek fire illustrated the severity of the fire danger. Goodrich said burning conditions are typical of mid August rather than early July. In a normal summer, Goodrich said that crew of highly trained firefighters almost surely would have heldthe blazeto 5 acresor so. But last week the Dennis Creek fire, fueled by hot, dry weather and wind, grew so quickly that it threatened to block the firefighters' escape route, Goodrich said. "So we pulled them out," he said. Since then the Forest Service has relied instead on air tankers and helicopters to stop the Dennis Creek fire. Tankers have laid down a strip of fire retardant on threesides oftheblazethere's little risk of flames spreading to the south due to rocky terrain and a relativescarcity oftrees.And helicopters are dumping water on the hottest spots inside the perimeter. aWe'resitting pretty good right now," with the firefighting effort, Goodrich said.

100,000 acres. But that was a rare event in recent history. For most of the 20th century the federal government treated wildfires rather like invading armies — destructiveforcesthatshould be repelled with all the alacrity the world's wealthiest nation could muster. Not for nothing did Smokey Bear become an American icon with his stern admonition about preventing fires. But forest managerscame torealize that eliminating fire could harm more than help ecosystems that had adapted to periodic blazes over many millennia. In particular, excluding fire allowed far more trees to grow in areas than was common historically, and these crowded stands are more vulnerable not only to fires, but to insects and diseases. In centuries past, by contrast, relatively frequent fires, most of them sparked by lightning, largely prevented such problems. 'There'sa lotofplacesin the wilderness that need some fir ein a bad way," Goodrich said. Fires also create natural breaks in the forest canopy that can limit the spread of subsequent blazes, Goodrich sald. The Dennis Creek fire itself illustrates this particular benefit, he said. The blaze's rapid expansion last week was curtailed in one direction when the flames reached the area burned last summer by Managers prefer the China Cap fire, also a to let fires burn lightning-sparked blaze Although the decision that burned about 450 acres to fight rather than watch before autumn rains finally the Dennis Creek fire was extinguished it.

More fires likely later in the summer With what's normally the peak of the lightning season still ahead — generally from mid July through mid August — it's unlikely that the Dennis Creek fire will be the summer's last in the

Eagle Cap. Goodrich said fire managers will consider each fire individually in deciding their approach. But it's quite possible that

Managers might be able to selectively fight a fire in the wilderness — blocking itsspread in some areas but allowing it to burn elsewhere. Forest Service officials have used that mixed strategy with several fires in the Eagle Cap, including a blaze along Hurricane Creek last summer. Goodrich concedes there is a risk every time managers choose to let a fire burn. And they have to consider the social and political effects as well as the ecological. The public continues to be influenced by the decades of anti-fi repropaganda.And it's natural, Goodrich said, forpeople to be dismayed when a fire — even one that actually improves the health of a forest — kills treesin a favoritecamping or hunting spot. With public sensitivity acute, the political cost can be high when a fire that's allowed to burn gets bigger than Forest Service managers expected.

Trucking in unknown lands I like to travel light and let someone else do the driving, but when I saw a subway station attendant helping each ticket buyer navigate the machine. I should have seen the foreshadowing. Much of the weekend we relied heavily on smartphones to find our way around, but we still had some hiccups finding train stations and understanding connections. Thanks to a Lostine Canyon friend of ours we had stumbled upon a miraclea coupleofticketsto the last Grateful Dead Shows. Ever. The show was scheduled fortheJuly 4 weekend in Chicago's Soldier Field.

The next morning we forewent the train, nailed aretreadto ourfeetand walked the 3.6 miles to the Bears' footballfortressand many more miles than that and Ihave the blistersto prove it. Chicago was gloriously chilly. Back home it had been hot for seven weeks now. We walked by empty lots choked with weeds that could have used some goat grazing.

The donations have already started coming in to outfit it with appliances, pots and pans and dishes. Membership in the county's granges has diminished. To date, Southfork, Hurricane Creek west of Joseph and Liberty north of Joseph and North End in Flora are the only granges still in existence, but its members are loyal and invest a lot of sweat equity into keeping them running and a vital part of their communities. For now, Lathrop said, grange members will continue to meet at the Lostine Community Center, but hope to see the new location operational soon.

CANYON NOTES KATY NESBITT they use their car horns differently than we do. One advantage of going for a hike across one of America's major cities is thereare provisions along the way like lunch in an Italian restaurant,coffee shops for my Scout's daily caffeine infusion, and 7-11 stores that stay open all night for emergency bottles of water and Power bars. We took a break after our first long hike on the shores of Lake Michigan. My other delight of Chicago's natural world was its abundance of linden trees — I've waxed poetic about their intoxicating scent before so I won't go on and on, but it was delicious. A child of countless trees and I'm inspired to go plant some in my parents' yard — but not so as to block their view of Ruby Peak and Hurricane Creek canyon. In Wallowa County viewsheds are penultimate, but in Chicago a view of Lake Michigan, the only thing to view, costs upward of $1 million. Not having timed it right to be along the lakeshore for the fireworks we stopped at a park where several other peoplegathered,butonce the light show began, we realized the only thing we'd see fiom there was the reflection of fireworks in the side of one of the buildings.

over the upper valley. We weren't in Chicago for fireworks though, we were there to see the Grateful Dead. The band played the soundtrack of my college days and opened up a world of other music genres like bluegrass, reggae and even zydeco, but I hadn't had a steady diet of the folk rock band for more than 20 years. Suddenly I had an opportunity to see history in the making. High atop Soldier Field, I felt like I'd entered a time machine and music filled the air. I was 19 when I first saw them at University of Oregon's Autzen Stadium, pressed up against the stage. In Chicago, 28 years later, I sang along to the old familiar songs. Everywhere we went strangers stopped us and said, "Did you see the show?" I thought it funny — my Scout has long hair, but at home that doesn't mean anything. He was dressed as he would for a summer day at his office. In the big city he was labeled. On the plane ride home we were able to watch the U.S. women's soccer team knock the socks off Japan, and on the way home we listenedtothe lastGrateful Dead show aired on Sirius radio. Trey Anastasio, filling in for Jerry Garcia who died 20 years ago, sang "Althea" as we dropped down the Minam Grade and into the county. It was a long long time to be gone and a short time tobe there.

Jason Franks has seen his fair share of Summer State Games while competing for Special Olympics Oregon Union County. Compared to what it used to be, he's excited for the present and the future. ''When I first started there wasn't a whole lot," Franks said. 'You didn't practice much at all. You just went to state and that was it, you were done. It's been real fun how much it's changed over the years." The Union County track and field and golf teams leave town Friday for state Saturday and Sunday in Newberg. The athletes qualified by competing at regionals June 20 in Milton-Freewater.

Owyhee Dam backs up a 52-mile expanse of water tailor-made for recreation and to pump water out onto a desert landscape to fuel a vibrant agriculture machine inside Oregon's Malheur County

It will exercise a permanently stabilizing effect on your community." The dam and reservoir provided water for the Owyhee IrrigationDistrictand proved tobe an economic boon for decades but now it is nearly out of water and serves as exhibit A in an ongoing saga of the impact of drought throughoutMalheur County and the West. A drought that loitered for several years has turned the once mightyendeavor ofthe Owyhee Dam and reservoir into a nearly empty shell and the implications — in terms of lost economic dollars— are daunting. "It is disheartening to see what is happening," Jay Chamberlin, director of the Owyhee Irrigation District, said. The Owyhee Irrigation District isdesigned to providewater,or serve,about 125,000 irrigation

Do you have any thoughts on preventing this from happening ugain? — MARTIN S. DEAR MARTIN: This is a good news / bad news situation. The good news is that the owner's son told you specifically and directly why they were seeking to do business with another business partner. The bad news is that somewhere along the way, you iand perhaps others in your company) missed the road signs icluesl that had been put up telling you that something you weren't going to like was going to happen. Let me suggest that when a client says "we have outgrown you" it means that you iand/or your company) hasn't evolved, hasn't kept abreast of what is happening in the market and perhaps has no idea what is taking place within the client's organization.

According to Wikipedia, "Chronic stress is the response to emotionalpressure suffered fora prolonged period over which the individual perceives he or she has no control."

Eustress is defined as "stress that is deemed healthful or giving one the feeling of fulfillment." The origin of eustress is Greek, meaning"well, good" plus stress.

The Farm Service Agency is reminding agricultural producers that FSA provides a receipt to customers who requestorreceive assistance or information on FSA programs. As part of FSA's mission to provide enhanced customer service, producerswho visit FSA will receive documentationofservicesrequested and provided. From December through June, FSA issued m ore than 327,000 electronic receipts. The 2014 Farm Bill requiresa receiptto beissued for any agricultural program assistance requested from FSA, the National Resources Conservation Service and Rural Development. Receipts include the date, summary of the visit and any agricultural information, program and/or loan assistance provided to an individual or entity. In somecases,a form or document — such as a completed and signed program enrollment form — serve as the customer receiptinstead of a printed or electronic receipt. A serviceis any information, program or loan assistanceprovided whether through a visit, email, fax or letter.

On an early June morning, a group of spandex-clad tourists pedaled down the highway out of the tiny town of Prairie City. "All right! Take a left here, and don't take off until you see the ghost town!" said Brad Gordon, a guide for Bicycle Adventures and leader of the nine-day cycling trip. Gordon leads trips all over the Northwest, but he said he loves the roads in Oregon. ''When you get out on the rural roads in Oregon, peopleare very respectful," Gordon said. Part of the group's route follows the Old West Scenic Bikeway in Eastern Oregon. Most U.S. states have scenic byways for vehicles, to draw m otorists to attractions and special places. But in Oregon, you also find scenic bikeways: state-designatedroutes designedfor cyclists. Oregon's Scenic Bikeways program is unique in the nation, according to state officials. The bikeways are signed routes along some of Oregon's most beautiful, bicycle-friendly roadways. Some bikeways are short and easy. Others are epic ridesdesigned for three-or four-day tours. They're all designed to draw cyclists — and their dollars — to different parts of the state, especially to rural communities. Cyclists who rode Oregon Scenic Bikeways spent approximately $12.4 million dollars in 2014, according to a Travel Oregon study

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Republicans are proposing that some forest fires be treated like federal disasters, an attempt to win broader supportforlegislation that targetsovergrown national forest lands. The legislation focuses on speedingup timber harvests and the removal of underbrush the Forest Service deems necessary to improving the health of a forest. Some Democratic lawmakers and environmental groups have been critical of the bill because they say it would erode key environmental safeguards. With a House vote expected this week, GOP lawmakers are adding the federal disaster language to the bill, something the Obama administration first proposedearly lastyear,but with some wrinkles. Under current policy, the agencies fighting wildfires divert money toward firefighting from other programs during particularly busy years. But that practice delaysthe very effortsdesigned to prevent fires in the first place, such as the thinning of deadtreesand the removal of thick underbrush. Supporterssaythat letting federal agencies tap into a disaster fund will prevent such borrowing and lessen the risk ofcatastrophicforestfi resin the coming years. This year's fire season appears to be shaping up a busy one, adding some urgency to tackling the funding problem.A reportMonday

Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah., the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee. Bishop said the bill should garner broad support. But Robert Bonnie, who oversees natural resource issues at the Agriculture Department, which houses the Forest Service, indicated the GOP has more work to do to win over the administration. He described the bill as a step forward but said the changes
