Back in the 1970s, Monday nights found a group ofme n in thebasement workshop of a local funeral home watching"Monday Night Football" with announcers Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford and working on stained glass.

Bob Sunderman of La Grande had developed an interest in glasswork in the late '60s, while visiting the Hoyt Hotel in Portland. The hotel dining room was resplendent with large stained glass lampshades, Sunderman sald.

Sunderman started to cut glass in earnest. A few years later, a friend, Dale Decker, wanted to build a set of stained glass windows for his home.

They met at what is now Loveland Chapel. Sunderman won a little TV, so the group watched football and cut

"Itappears that the groundbreaking will be in mid to late August," said Dale Inslee, executive directorofthe Northeast Oregon Housing Authority, which will own and manage the 38-unit apartment complex.

Insleesaid construction of Blue Springs Crossing will take about 11 months.

A number of Island City residents who live or work near the future apartment sitearevoicing support for Blue Springs Crossing, others are neutral and some have concerns.

Dian McNeil believes the housing apartments will fill an important housing void.

Even with arthritis, I need to stay strong.

If you get your heart rate up with moderate exercise, your arthritis won't slow you down. But it takes more than just staying busy.You need to walk, bike, swim, or choose an activity that gets your heart rate up for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Or try 10 minute sessions, 3 times a day. In just 4-6 weeks, you'll notice less pain and stiffness. It will also improve your mood, andkeep you strong.

consi ero en rimaries Editorial from Corvallis Gazette-Times:

Backers of a so-called open primary initiative say they've gathered enough signatures to place the measure on the ballot this November.

We've long backed this idea, and hope that Oregon voters — who have rejected similar measures in the past — will take another look at the proposal in November.

The proposed ballot measure would replace Democratic and Republican party primaries with a single primary election open to all voters, regardless of party aKliation. That would include the estimated 31 percent of voters who are not registered as Republicans or Democrats. And, as we can testify, the primary ballot for an unaKliated voter can be a sparse document indeed.

U nder an open primary, allcandidates for a particular oKce would be listed on a single ballot and every voter would be able to choose one candidate.

The top two vote-getters would advance to the general election.

If enacted by voters, the change would apply to all partisan local, state and congressional races. Because of federal law, it would not apply to the presidential primary.

A similar system has been enacted by voters in Washington state and California.

An open primary would ensure that every voters' voice would matter in every election. Citizens would no longer be shut out from nominating candidates just because they declined to be identified, on paper, as either Democrat or Republican. It would end decades ofhypocrisy, as citizens oken registered as members of a certain party for the sole reason that they wanted a voice in the primary on the contests that mattered.

In theory at least, the candidates who wanted to emerge from the primary would be forced to appealtothe broadest possible bloc ofvoters.N o more appeals by candidates to narrow interests, either ultra-conservative or hyper-liberal. No more shifting positions aker the primary in order to appeal to a broader section of the electorate — a common occurrence, as candidates oken must appeal to the fringes in a primary and then attempt to tack to the center in the general election.

We don't pretend to believe an open primary system would solve all our governmental woes. But it would be a fundamental change — and one that offers a measure ofhope for people interested in better government.

MYVOICE

Reduction will dampen fire danger R

ecently, I signed the Record of Decision for the Tollgate Fuels Reduction Project and began implementing a seriesofactivitiesto reduce hazardous fuels on Umatilla National Forest lands adjacent to the Tollgate community.

W hy here, why now? The Tollgate project was initiated shortly after Umatilla County's Community Wildfire Protection Plan identified the Upper State Highway 204Tollgate Wildland-Urban Interfacearea asa priority forfuels reduction projects. The project is authorized under the Healthy Forest Restoration Act to streamline the analysis process, allowing the U.S. Forest Service to more quickly address fuel-loading issues that occur within WUI areas.

This community is situated above steep canyons and difficult terrain that is mostly unmanaged with the North Fork Umatilla Wilderness to the south, the South Fork Walla Walla Inventoried Roadless Area to the northwest and the Lookinglass Inventoried Roadless Area to theeast.The project area is home to hundreds of private residences, recreation cabins,popular campgrounds, power line corridors, Spout Springs Ski Area and other private businesses.

The area is a complicated pattern of pri vate,stateand federallands and we know from experience that wildfire does not respect ownership boundaries. Through planned fuels reduction treatments, we hope tocreate defensible areas between the National Forest System lands and private lands to slow wildfire spread, keeping flames closer to the ground and not moving quickly, with great intensity, through the canopy.

About the author Kevin Martin is the Umatilla National Forest supervisor.

These induced changes will more likely create situations where wildfire suppressioneffortscan be conducted more safely along with a higher degree of success.

The Tollgate Fuels Reduction project areaislocated in a moistforestlandscape. Though wildfire in this type of forest is less frequent, given the right circumstances, thepotentialfor a large wildfire exists. We've witnessed the effects of such fires here in the northern Blue Mountains with the School and Burnt Cabinfi resof2005 and Columbia Complex fire of 2006.

Approximately 4,300 acresisproposed for treatment through a variety of activities such as thinning and removing of trees, piling and burning, as well as prescribed fire. The project identifies surface fuel — brush, dead limbs and

driedmoss,needlesand leaves that can carry fire from the ground up into the canopy of the tree — reduction treatments and canopy fuel located in the crown of the tree, and places them strategically along the plateau rim to providedefensible space and fuel treatments for future fire suppression actions. This work will, in several places, advantageously coincide with adjacent fuels reduction activities on private land funded by National Fire Plan grants through the efforts of the Oregon Department of Forestry.

I want to thank those members of the Tollgate community, interested public, landowners, county commissioners, organizations, and our state partners who tookthe time to participate early and often in the public involvement process.

Over thepast few years,thosecollaborative efforts have helped to inform my decision and identify the fuels reduction actions analyzed in the environmental impact statement.

I also want to thank the Walla Walla Ranger District's interdisciplinary team of resource professionals who, with experienceand bestscience,developed the treatmentsfor thisproject.

By acting now to reduce these fuels, we canimprove protection to adjacent private lands and public infrastructure, reduce the intensity of potential fire behavior, and providesaferingressand egress within the Tollgate community for firefighter and public safety. To not act now would be irresponsible. I believe this project is the right thing to do, on thislandscape, to lessen theimpacts that large wildfires now pose to people, property and ecosystems.

Additionally, at Tuesday night's city council meeting, Allen mentioned there are two transfers of money kom the city's general fund to the opera house fund that he cannot account for. Allen told the council that if those transfersareinvalid,then the $12,734 he believes the opera house still has in their fund kom the grant is correct, but if they are valid, then the opera house may have less.

Allen said between 2012 and 2014 there are discrepancies in the financial reports that he's trying to work through.

The city council voted to spend $2,500 to have an audit done for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 when the numbers begin to get murky. ''We need to do this,"Allen said of doing an audit.'We need to know for a fact that we're not spending the city's money."

Years went by until one day Birnbaum told his wife, Linda, he was interested in finding a way to start doing stained glass.

He found a class in Pendleton and for six months drove over the mountain once a week.

Birnbaum and Decker had become neighbors. One day Birnbaum's wife stopped by Decker's house to request a key for a locked gate and spied magnificent Tiffanystyle glass lamps.

"I found out I am driving about 70 miles to Pendleton, and here in my backyard I have two guys who have been doingstained glassfor 35 to 40 years," Birnbaum said.

The twosome became a threesome and the legacy of stained glass work continued.

The shade was a 580-piece commitment. Finally, the moment came to plug in the lamp.

"I put the bulbs in and turned the light on and it was gorgeous," he said.

Stained glass lampshades are not only an artistic mix of color and light. They also take real engineering. The glass is heavy and support must be built into the lampshade. Many Tiffany-style lampshades have complex curves that require extra reinforcement.

Sunderman remains passionate about introducing stained glass work to new hobbyists. He is currently teaching a class at the Art Center at the Old Library to 11 students. He will teach another four-week class in the fall.

"I just like to see the enthusiasm that people have when they are creating," Sunderman said.

Enterprise's historic architecture inspires annual street fair Observer staff

In 1893, Enoch and Lulu Bowbly homesteaded 1-V2 miles south of Enterprise.

They had a large sheep ranch and later bought a ranch on Swamp Creek, where they ran cattle. It was there that Enoch and Lulu discovered the porous volcanic turf that would eventually bear the name "Bowlby."

Enoch employed local stonemasons to cut and shape the"Bowlby stone," which was then hauled to town by horse-drawn

wagons and sold for $1 per cord.

The stone could be cut easily when damp but dried as hard as concrete.

It was usually quarried in the spring of the year when it was still damp from

melting snow.

Becauseofitssuperior heat-sustai ning properties, "Bowlby stone" was also used for chimney liners in local homes and foundations for wigwam burners in area sawmills.

However, due to the postWorld War I construction lull and a thriving local brick factory, the demand for Bowlby stone declined.

Around the turn of the 20th century, Bowlby stone became thebuilding blocks of Enterprise.

Bowlby stone buildings include the Wallowa County Courthouse, the Enterprise Mercantile and Milling Co., the Bowlby Building, the Funk Building, the Burnaugh Building, the Litch Building, the former Wallowa County Chieftain Building,

the Enterprise Hotel and the first county high school, later to become the Enterprise hospital and then the "Guest Apartments," which were destroyed by fire in the early 1990s.

Other Bowlby stone buildings include The Bookloft, Favorite Finds on Main Antiques and J's Place.

Enoch and Lulu Bowlby's great-granddaughter, Belva

Lorraine Hanson Swanson, began writing a book about her great-grandparents and the Bowlby stone, titled"Echoes of the Bowlby Stone." The book was not completed at the time Belva died on Feb. 15, 2013.

Her husband, George, and daughter, Eileen, plan to complete the story of the Bowlby family legacy and the history of the stone.

PORTLAND — Recreational pot is now for sale in Washington state, and that means easy access for many residents of neighboring Oregon.

The closest legal pot shop to Portland opens Wednesday, just across the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington. Freedom Marketin Kelso — 45 miles north of Portland — was scheduled to begin sales at noon Tuesday, but its opening was delayed because a delivery scheduled for 11:30 a.m. was pushed back until after 6 p.m. cWe're totally ready to open, and we just don't have anything but pipes in here," owner Kathleen Nelson said.

With anxious customers and TV news crews waiting for the first sales, the store will open shortly after the product arrives, and not wait until Wednesday, she said.

Nelsonestimated about 100 people came to the store by noon, and the license plates were split about 50-50 betweenOregon and Washington. cWe're just disappointed we have had to turn people away for the moment," Nelson said."It's probably going to beAugust beforewe geta steady supply and can actually be open 8 a.m. until midnight."

Law enforcement officials say there's nothing stopping Oregonians from buying pot in Washington. But the law bans them from bringing the marijuana back with them for use in their home state.

Also, authorities say Oregonians who drive home stoned could get busted, just like a drunken driver.

The Associated Press

Some goods are displayed at Main Street Marijuana on Monday in Vancouver,Wash., though the store had not opened for business yet. The store has received a state license to sell marijuana, and plans to open for businessWednesday.The closest legal potshop to Portland opensWednesday, just across the river in Vancouver.

Oregon State Police said it's not doing anything differently in response to Washington's pot sales. cWe are always on the lookout for drivers under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both," Sgt. Gregg Hastings said.

Washington law allows the sale of up to an ounce of dried marijuana.

Under Oregon law, possession of up to an ounce of marijuana is classified as a violation, punishable by a fine.

PENDLETON — The developer of a proposed Columbia River coal export terminal is facing resistance from localtribeswho argue the terminal's dock would interfere with their fishing rights.

Australia-based Ambre Energy wants to ship 8.8 million tons of coal per year down the Columbia River and overseas to Asia.

The Oregon Department of State Lands has until Aug. 18 to decide whether to issue a key permit allowing AmbreEnergy to begin construction on the Morrow Pacific project, The East Oregonian reported.

The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation' sobjection isone of severalopposing the project, which business leaders say will bring needed jobs when a nearby coal plant is shuttered in 2020.

CTUIR spokesman Chuck Sams said the tribes'position is the same as it was before: thattheirtreaty rightsare notforsale.

'The offer is something that is not in line with the federal government, which is unacceptable," Sams said.

"That's why we've worked closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has a trust responsibility to uphold and protect our rights."

Germans probe 2nd spy case reportedly involving US The Associated Press

BERLIN — German authorities are investigatinga second spy case reportedly involving the U.S., a week after the arrest of a German intelligence employee cast a new shadow over relations between the two countries.

Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that police raided properties in the Berlin area on "initial suspicion of activity for an intelligence agency." They did not elaborate or specify what intelligence agency was involved, but said they had not made an arrest.

The daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported, without naming sources, that the man being investigated worked in"the military field" and is suspected of spying for the United States.

A 31-year-old German intelligence employee was arrested last week on suspicion of spying for foreign powers since 2012. German

m edia have reported he spied fortheUnited States and offered his services to Russia.

The case has frayed relations between Berlin and Washington, which were already strained by reports last year that the National Security Agency spied on Chancellor Angela Merkel's cellphone.

The U.S. ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Friday after news of that case broke. He was asked to help clarify the case.

Ambassador John B. Emerson was at the ministry again on Wednesday for a meeting with a senior offtcial, said a German official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the case publicly. It wasn't immediately clear whether Emerson was summoned and whether the discussion involved the new case.

'That's not what I stand for.

I'm very disillusioned and sickened by all of this."

Afederalinvestigative agency said Tuesday it was examining 67 claims of retaliation by VA supervisors against employees who filed whistleblower complaintsincluding 25 complaints filed since June 1, after a growing health care scandal involving long patient waits and falsified records at VA hospitals and clinics became public.

The complaints were filed in 28statesat45 separate facilities, Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner said.

Instead of using information provided by whistleblowers as an early warning system, the VA often"has ignoredorattempted to minimize problems, allowing seriousissues to festerand grow," Lerner told the House Veterans'Affairs Committee hearing. Worse, officials have retaliated against whistleblowers instead of investigating their complaints, she sald.

Hayward inks with Hornets The Charlotte Hornets are going all out to sign restricted free agent Gordon Hayward.

The Hornets have agreed on a maximum offer sheet with Hayward that would pay the small forward $63 million over the next four years, a person close to with the situation toldThe Associated Press on Wednesday.

The Utah Jazz would have three days to match the deal once Hayward officially signs.

Hayward, who visited with the Hornets this week, averaged 16.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and1.4 steals last season for Utah.

Hayward has spent all four seasons in the NBA with the Jazz. He shot 41.3 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point range in 77 starts.

gave up six runs in the second inning, as Jake Workinger struggled on the mound as the second game starter.

Down 8-2 heading into the bottom of the fifth, the Legends made a strong comeback bid. Drew Hively drove in three of the four runs in the inning after crushing a curveball deep into left center field.

"Hively got a good swing on the ball, and it flew right offhis bat," McKinley said.'When we scored those four runs, we felt like we were getting back on track. It was just too little, too late."

The La Grande Legacy Legends split a doubleheader Tuesday at Pioneer Park against Burns, winning, 14-6 before falling, 8-6.

In both games, the winning team took control with a six-run inning. The Legacy Legends scored six runs in the third inning, a surge that Eli Childs sparked after hitting a two-run double.

"In the first game, I was pretty happy with our swings," head coach Parker McKinley said."Our guys have

The rebound began with a 15-0 drubbing of the Oregon Rave in their first game in bracket play. Karrigan Wilhem

Cavs free up space with deal The Cavaliers have created salary cap space to make sure they have enough to offer LeBron James a maximum contract.

A person familiar with the deals saysthe Cavs have agreed to trade guard Jarrett Jack, swingman Sergey Karasev and center Tyler Zeller in a three-team deal. The moves are designed to land James.

Childs replaced Tyson Wicklander on the pitcher's mound for the final inning of the second game, a move which initially appeared to backfire.

However, after giving up two hits and a walk to load the bases with no outs, Childs struck out a batter between two defensive stops to escape the final inning unscathed.

"Eli had a great sequence with the bases loaded and no outs," McKinley said."He kept the ball down really well and that's what elevated his performance."

Barley Brown's finished with 33 points.

Thrillist rated Deschutes Brewery in Bend No. 1, with 109 points. No other Eastern Oregon brewery was among the top 10.

Jason Yohannan, a regional economist with the Oregon Employment Department, is retiring after 30 years with the agency and 25 years in the La Grande office.

• Regional economist set to retire this month after 30 years

By Kelly Ducote WesCom News Service

La Grande's office of the Oregon Employment Department will soon lose its seasoned regional economist.

Jason Yohannan is set to retire this month after 30 years with the agency and more than 25 at the La Grande office.

In 1984, shortly after graduating fiom college, Yohannan took a job with the department's headquarters in Salem. Four years later, he was moving to Northeast Oregon.

"It was a promotion for me," Yohannan said."Being a young, eager worker I wanted the pro-

motion, so I applied and got it."

He says he had only been to La Grande once before, but the risk had a positive result.

"The job was a good fit for me, so I stuck around," he said.

Since he arrived in La Grande he has been central to putting out a quarterly newsletter detailing the region's employment data on top ofhisotherduties.

"The job's been good. It keeps me busy, it's kind of demanding at times," Yohannan said.

Times, though, have definitely changed. ''When I first started 30 years ago, there was no Internet. We

didn't have personal computers," he said.

Still, the community has stayed the same in a lot of ways.

"Naturalresourcesare still important," he said.

With kids at Eastern Oregon University and La Grande High School, Yohannan won't be leaving the area anytime soon but is planning on slowing down to enjoy the little things.

"I like the slower pace oflife.

It's a great community," he said.

"Life is short. If you can take the time to dial back, smell the roses,tousea cliche,that'sa good thing."

t

f there is one area every business owner wants to see an improvement in, it is sales. Every owner is looking for more quotes, orders, deposits, shipments, collections and revenue.

A recent survey published in Business Week stated that the No. 1 challenge of small and midsize business owners is the "lack of sales."

There is a formula for sales success, and it applies to every organization. The great thing about using this formula is that it invigorates the tenured salesperson and kick-starts the newbie.

The success formula is iE+Pl+ iC+El = R. Those initialsstand foreducation and practice plus confidence and enthusiasm equals results.

Many in sales and sales management discount education beyond the essentials.

Old-school salespeople may believe nothing but"baptism by fire" really works.

Today's buyer is smart and savvy; anyone who sells needs to be smart and savvy to close deals. Learning how to addressthiskind ofbuyer begins with education.

Education can take many different styles: reading, watching and listening.

Individual learning styles matter. But sales education cannot be a one time thing or a sometime thing; it has to be an ongoing thing. In too many companies, it is a"on your own thing."

Take a car to the dealership and count the salespeople standing around hoping a prospectdrivesonto the lot.

Answer the phone, and listen while an unprepared salesperson stumbles through a script. Talk to a floundering salesperson who cannot get tractionorhaslosttheir mojo.These salespeople have not been educated enough to know how to do better.

The role of the sales manager is to eliminate all excuses for why salespeople aren't selling. That responsibility includes setting the stageforlearning by setting an example to others to follow.

Dora's Garden and the Union Bagel Shop are teaming up to provide healthy eating choices in Union.

"I believe strongly in good food," said Charma Vaage, owner oftheUnion Bagel Shop."My goal was to supply an alternative choice and a healthy choice."

Vaage and Susan Boyd, manager of Dora'sGarden,a 54-acrefarm in Union with organic certification, share a common vision, delicious food with fewer chemicals. aWe havebeen collaborating fora couple ofyears,"Boyd said.

"She gets greens from me and vegetables when they are in season. She uses them in salads and soups. I carry her bagels at the farm stand."

"People who understand quality ingredients and organic, really appreciate it," Vaage said.

Dora's Garden was certified as an organic farm in December 2012 by Oregon Tilth, a nonprofit research and education membership organization dedicated to biologically sound and socially equitable agriculture. It was a rigorous and expensive process.

"It is worth it to save the environment," Boyd said.'When I buy certified organic, it is not just about what I put into my body, I am voting with my dollars how we treat the Earth."

The farm has one-half acre in certified organic produce and berries, 50 acresin certified organic hay and an orchard that employs organic practices.

"They are delicious," Boyd said.

Today, customers in Union can enjoy the raspberrieseitheratthefarm stand or in an organic raspberry cream cheese spread at the Union Bagel Shop.

"A lotofthe grain isnotstripped away so the flour is higher in protein," Vaage said.

Vaage also carries a mix of natural meat options, including natural freerange chicken, organic roast beef and fresh caught canned salmon.

PENDLETON — As Pendleton Grain Growers attempts to sell its entire division of agricultural retail stores across Eastern Oregon,the localfarmers' co-op isalready prepared to part ways with some back-office staf.

PGG announced Monday it will lay ofFeight employees efFective Aug. 29. Spokeswoman Maddee Moore did not specify exactly which positions were cut, but said none came trom within the storesthemselves.

Earlier this year, PGG decidedtogetoutoftheretail business in order to make its core services — such as grain, seed, energy and agronomy — more profitable for members.

PGG currently operates six ag supply stores, including outlets in Pendleton, Hermiston, Milton-Freewater, Athena, Island City and Joseph. The Pendleton location also has an automotiveservicecenterthat,like the other businesses, is up for sale.

Without those businesses in the fold, Moore said PGG will not need the same level ofstafFto supportoverall operations.

KELLER Continued from Page 1B Sales managers should add toa created listof required reading. There is no reason that the sales manager should not create and manage a lending library of books, magazines, CDs and DVDs on sales. Having a library eliminates the excuse as to why sales people aren't learning.

Invest a couple hundred dollars, and start a library.

Any book by sales experts Tom Hopkins, Brian Tracy or Harvey Mackay is suitable.

Other books of note worth having include "The Success Principles" by Jack Canfield; "The Referral Engine" by John Jantsch; "Find Lost Revenue" by Patrick McClure; "The Referral of a Lifetime" by Tim Templeton; and"Managing Sales Leads"

by James Obermayer.

It isn't enough to have salespeople read a book or watch a DVD. The true test of knowledge is whether it can be taught.

One way to make education interestingis to have each salesperson present what they learned by teaching it to others. This will make salespeople more accountable to their own learning and will improve presentation and teaching skills. The adage "if you can teach it, you've learned it" applies.

But it is more than just buying learning materials; timealsohas tobeinvested.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Eugene marijuana dispensary to stay open, state says

By Christian Hill Eugene Register-Guard

EUGENE — State regulatorshave dropped theireffort to shut a medical marijuana dispensary in downtown Eugene.

Regulators decided that a complaint that the dispensarywas tooclose to a school was not valid.

It was the first time the Oregon Health Authority had sought to revoke the operating license of a dispensary sincestate offi cialsbegan issuing them in March.

The Greener Side, at 1553

Oak St., appealed after the state agency notified it in an April 9 letter that it would revoke its license.

The agency had received an anonymous email saying the dispensary was operating within 1,000 feet of a school, in violation of state regulations, spokeswoman Karynn Fish said.

A letter to the editor published in The Register-Guard raised the same complaint.

The letter and email had

similar wording, Fish said.

The Oregon Health Authority moved to revoke the license after its employees verified the proximity claim, Thomas Burns, the agency's pharmacy director, wrote in a follow-up letter to the editor of The Register-Guard.

But the state has subsequently reversed its position.

The state Department of Education helped the health authority build the database of all public schools. The authority turned to the Internet to identify more than 350 private schools.

The database listed the main campus of the Network Charter School but not its four satellite locations, Burns wrote.

One of those locations, near the intersection of Willamette Street and 15th Avenue, was within 1,000 feetofthe dispensary.

The state's online map that uses information from the database actually shows two "schools" within 1,000 feet of the dispensary.

OREGON GMO

PORTLAND — Oregon agriculture officials say the state has no authority over genetically modified crops once federalregulatorsdeem them safefor commercial use.

In a letter to Gov. John Kitzhaber, the Oregon Department of Agriculture saidstate law allows itto create"controlareas"forgenetically engineered cropstodealwith pestsand disease.

But it can create such areas only for GE crops that are in the trial phase.

Officials say once a GE crop is "deregulated" by the U.S. Department of Agricul ture,itisdeemed not to be a carrierofpestsordisease— and the stateloses authority overthecrop.

In October, Kitzhaber directed the state Agriculture Department to use its authority to deal with conflicts between GE and non-GE crops, including by creating a statewide mapping system for GMO field locations, establishing buffer zones and exclusion areas.

But the department's letter to Kitzhaber shows its authority for dealing with GE issues is limited.

The governor also announced the creationofa task forcetostudy issues related to GMOs, such as mapping and labeling.

The move was spurred by several instances of genetic contamination in the region that rendered non-engineered crops unsellable on the export market.

It came after lawmakers adopted a bill to ban county governments from regulating GMOs on their own.

Jackson County was exempted from the law because a measure already had qualified for the ballot. Residents in that county voted to ban genetically engineered crops in May. Stateregulators say Oregon law does not require farmers to submit cropping information to the state Department of Agriculture, making the mapping of geneticall y engineered crops impossible. The state receives notification of proposed GMO field trials from the USDA — but such notifications often don't include the county where the trials are taking place, and never include

OREGON

By George Plaven East Oregonian

Train cars filled with crudeoilareindeed passing through Northeast Oregon, including the city of Pendleton, which has local emergency responders preparing for how to handle a potentially devastating accident.

Meanwhile, U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden andJeffMe rldey, both Oregon Democrats, are calling for greater transparency of oil train routes to help firefighters better protect their communities.

A federal order in May required railroads to notify the state where exactly some oil trains are traveling — if they are hauling more than 1 million gallons, and only if it comes from the Bakken

region in North Dakota.

Railroads submitted their reports to the Office of the State Fire Marshal in June.

The information was finally released publicly Thursday, aftertwo companies protested the documents should be kept confidential.

But Union Pacific Corp., which operates one primary route in Eastern Oregon, still doesn't have to disclose how many oil trains roll into the region since none of the material is Bakken oil. The company did move 3,278 carloadsofcrude oilacross the state in 2013, accounting forlessthan 1 percent of totalfreight fortheyear.

In a recent letter to U.S.

Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, Wyden and Merldey argued the federal order should be expanded to include oil shipments of any size and origin. cWe remain concerned that first-responders in Oregon and elsewhere have inadequate information to protect their communities from potential accidents involving crude-by-rail trains," the senators wrote.

Crudeoilmo ves along both of Union Pacific's primary Oregon routes: one following the Interstate 5 corridor from California to Washington state, and another down the Columbia River Gorge from lines that meet near Hermiston.

DES MOINES, IowaThe nation's farmers planted the largest soybean crop on recordthisyearby devoting millions of acres ofland to the crop that had been used for growing corn, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday.

Farmers planted 84.8 million acres of soybeans, which was nearly 11 percent more than last year's 76.5 million acres. Among the states that planted record amounts of the crop were Michigan,

About a third of the U.S. soybean crop is exported to China, where there's a large demand for soybeans to feed hogs, poultry, and dairy cows.

The change in planting was also due to a drop in corn prices and rise in soybean prices.

For much of the last decade, farmers in the primary corn and soybean growing states of the Midwest had greater profit potential with

The railroad has identified 38 primary fire departments along its Oregon lines, and offerscomprehensive training to first-responders. A recenthazardous materials training session in Baker City drew 60 firefighters from area fire departments.

US farmers plant record soybean crop, less corn Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Corn was planted on 91.6 million acres, which was nearly 4 percent less than last year's 95.4 million acres.

M ore than a decade ago,thestate established one control area for genetically engineered bentgrass in central Oregon, requiring buffer zones and other measures. The GE bentgrass was grown as part of field trials, meaningit wasn'tyet deemed safe forcommercial cultivation.

Oregon regulators say they can provide input and monitor trials of GE crops designed to produce vaccines, drugs, enzymes or other medicinal compounds — so-called biopharmaceuticals. But to date, the state hasn't received notification of any biopharmaceutical crop trials in Oregon.

Oregonregulatorssay thelegislature could grant them the option to map GMOs or otherwise regulate genetically engineered crops. The governor has said he could introduce new GMOrelated legislation in the 2015 session.

And Oregonians could soon have a say on GMO labeling: Proponents of a ballot measure to require the labeling say they have submitted enough signatures to qualify the measure for a statewide vote in November.

Making the grade

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — What you study — math and science are a plus — seems to matter more than whether your alma mater is public or private when it comes to aftercollege,according to a report released Tuesday by the Education Department.

The survey of the class of 2008, by the National Center forEducation Statistics,provides an interesting snapshot of the nation's educated elite following a crushing economic recession: Overall, college grads reported lower unemployment rates compared with the national average, although black and Asian collegegraduates were tw ice as likely to be out of work than their white classmates.

College grads from private four-year schools earned about the same as those from public four-year schools,

about $50,000 a year.

But while a paltry 16 percent of students took home degrees in science, technology, engineering or math, or STEM disciplines, those who did were paid significantly

Sophia with a SMILE that you are not close to Stacy, don't know her taste and do not feel comfortable shopping for her. Smiling when you say it should prevent your refusal from appearingconfrontational.

C.N.Le,a sociologistat the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said Asian students are gravitating toward career fields in math, science and technology that are initially higher paying, which likely explains the higher average salaries by Asian grads. But they might be facing the higher unemploymentrates— almost 12 percent compared with 5.5 percent of white graduatesbecauseofvisa issuesorpolicies by American businesses favoring U.S. citizens.

According to the Pew Research Center, nearly threequarters of Asian-American adults were born abroad.

Le said there alsoisa "glass-ceiling effect" in the math, science and technology fields."In a lot of cases, STEM jobs have fewer promotion ladders than other positions" in areas like finance or advertising, he sald.
