A group of 16- and 17-year-old high school students from China is getting an up close and personal experience of Eastern Oregon this month through an exchange program with their high school in Shiquan, China, and the Grant Union and Baker City school districts. One of the stops for these students was to visit La Grande on Monday. The students came to visit Eastern Oregon University to see what an American university is like.

hicle, according to an Oregon State Police report. Gentry was lodged in the Baker County Jail. The pursuit started west of Mountain Home, Idaho, after police received a complaint of reckless driving. Oregon State Police troopers from Ontario picked up the pursuit at the Oregon-Idaho line and attempted to flatten the tires of

Gentry's vehicle, a grey 2014 Ford Mustang, with spike strips but were unsuccessful. The pursuit continued north on I-84 with speeds ranging from 58 to 146 mph. The OSP called in an aircraft to assist with the pursuit, after which troopers slowed down in their effort to catch Gentry. The chase was complicated by

construction zone work on I-84. The Oregon Department of Transportation was notified of the pursuit and relayed the information to their construction workers so they could clear their work zonearea before the pursuit reachedtheirlocation.

OSP troopers assisted with the pursuit as it entered the Baker County area. An OSP troopersuccessfull y spiked Gentry's vehicle nine miles south of North Powder. Three miles later, OSP troopers, using a tactical vehicle intervention strategy, brought Gentry's vehicle to a stop. Gentry was then taken into custodywithoutincident.

She attended Judy Kinsley kindergarten, Joseph Elementary and Joseph High School, graduating in 1994 all the while honing her horse handling skills. She saved her babysitting money and bought her own horse "Wes" in 1992. Wes went to college with her and worked the Sale Barn in Hermiston as a job. She mether devoted husband "Wup" Winn at the Pendleton Roundup in 1995. After she graduated from Blue Mountain College with a degree in Business AG they married in 1998 and lived in Pendleton where Wup worked for the Dodge Dealership and Les Schwab while Nicole worked for the Casino and Community Bank. In2000 they moved to Joseph where they worked for Alaskan Bush Wheels until 2013, raising their two sons Kyler i141 and Gaven i121 and about 40 puppies in the office. Nicole sold her beautiful mini Australians to families all over the United States who have wonderful pets from her exceptional dogs. Nicole and her husband Wup, shared their love of flying, both being accomplished pilots. They are known throughout the world of aviation for their knowledge of all things "bush flying" due to their work with Alaskan Bushwheels for so many years. She was a master of the maze of the FAA regulation, a real claim to fame. Nicole went on to earn her Real Estate license working with Timberline Realty under the tutelage of Claresse O'Connor,

where she was building up a clientele and succeeding so well in her new endeavor. Wup and Nicole recently purchased the Video Buffs business in Enterprise, OR with the expectation of making it thrive as a family run operation, a great learning experience for Kyler and Craven. Her family in Pendleton taught her their traditions over the years and included her in their hearts. She loved the traditional ways and chose to walk with them. She received her Indian name Hiyum Hiewcksha, meaning "Bear Dreamer" that she treasured in her heart and soul. Her sister Janine said of Nicole, "From the beginning, she was totally part of us. She jumped right in and fully embraced our tradition and never hesitated. It was important to her that her boys know their ancestors' ways." Nicolewas an accomplished seamstress and bead worker coming to the family with questions, always wanting what she made to be right. She gave willingly from her heart and many were gifted with her skilled creations. As a traditional woman, she put life into what she created. She left this life on July 16, 2015 while doing what she loved to do best, riding one of her family horses at her home in Joseph.. She is survived by her husband Wup, their two sons Kyler and Craven, her parents Bill and Dianna Duncan and Beverly Winn, and Wup's family that she claimed as hers. Sisters Janine, Lynsie and Jen.

LT.'S TH4l /AINhle507p DBHTi571

Editorial from the Bend Bulletin:

G ov. Kate Brown pushed a landmark request in

the Oregon Legislature: $100 million for affordable housing.

It didn't happen. The amount approved by the Legislature was

$42.5 million — or $62.5 million if you include $20 million in housing for people with mental illness.

That $42 million plus could still help thousands of families. But there should be real concern about the state's ability to put the money to work and how fairly the money will be allocated. Both Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend, and Rep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend, raised questions about how well the state has been using the money it already has. The state created a document recording fee in

2009. It generated about $59 million for affordable housing. But the state has only spent over half that. The rest of the money for affordable housing was not do-

ing anybody any good. Margaret Van Vliet, director of the state agency in charge — Oregon Housing and Community Services — has pledged to do better at, you know, building affordable housing. And it would also be good if there were a way to reduce its administrative costs. Even Van Vliet said she thought the program's 10 percent administrative costs are high. The Legislature is going to have to continue to keep a close eye on the agency. Some legislators tried to pass a bill, House Bill 2198, requiring the agency to do more regular reporting about what it's doing and ensure that it distributes money according to relative need. The bill failed in the last days of the Legislature. That could be an additional concern for Central Oregon. For instance, Deschutes County had contributed about $4 million to the fund. And in return,

it has received only about$700,000 in projects financed. Brown told KATU in Portland that the additional money for affordable housing is "an incredible success. That's a historic level of funding for Oregon and for the nation."We wouldn't call it an incredible success, yet. The state needs to prove it can do much better than it has in using the money effectively.

Eckstein suggested the city help pay for the water and sewer bill, but the city council wanted to get more information about what kind of water system the health center would use and how much of abillthatwould generate. "They're ready to break ground at this point," Eckstein said. The council decidedto getm oreinformation about the water system. The city council also passed a resolution to raise the wages of the city administrator, clerk 1 position, librarian, librarian's assistant and public works maintenance 2 position. The council

The Elgin City Council discussed what it may do to support the new Elgin Health Center at Tuesday night's city council meeting. According to City Administrator Brock Eckstein, the Elgin Health District, which oversees the local health center, isjust$500,000 shortofraising all the funds necessary for building a new 8,000-square-foot health center. Eckstein said the health district, which received more than $1 million from the Oregon Legislature with the supportofRep.Greg Barreto and Sen.

The city council will have its first readingAug. 5, the second reading atits September meeting and call an emergency sess ion beforeOct.1to pass the ordinance, if the council chooses to ban pre-sales. City Councilor John Bozarth said he doesn't"need to consider (the ordinance) without the Oregon Liquor Control Commission rules and regulations in place." Strope said the council cannot pass the ordinance without taking public comments. The Aug. 5 city council meeting will give community members living within La Grande city limits a chance to say whether or not they want the dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana

"That's what we were waiting on when we passed the moratorium," Brown said. The ordinance does not affect theusage and personal grow sites for recreational marijuana that became legal July 1, though, City Planner Mike Boquist said.

has been discussing raising wages for these positions at the last few meetings. City Councilor Rocky Burgess voiced his concern at each meeting that the proposed increases were more than the 2 percent that people would usually get at other jobs. 'They're getting 18 to 35 percent raises, "Burgess said."People don'tget that. This can't be personal." Burgess questioned whether the city had enough money in its budget to give the raises in addition to increasing the hours, such as the librarian assistant's position going from 10 hours a week at $10 per hour to 20 hours a week at

$10.95 per hour. Several city council members said the people who have been in the positionsdeserve theraisesand said itwas within the budget to give the employees the wages. The council voted to pass the resolution, with Burgess being the only one to vote against the resolution.

ing for us," Harvey said."It's really premature for the officers to have to enforce this without regulations. We're going blindly with a clear format and structure and then to suddenly switch gears like this is too much." Originally, the Oregon Legislaturedid notaddress any pre-sales; January 2016 was the start date for allowing the appli cations ofrecreational marijuana to come in and OLCC's rules and regulationsto beenacted. HB 3400's pre-sale allowance seemingly surprised many communities, despite it also allowing for counties to opt out. Communities can get tax funds from the sales of recreational and medical marijuana if the community does not opt out. Boquist said10 percent ofthe sales taxes statewide would be sent to the counties that opt out. There have been public comments made that argue the community should not opt out because of the taxes coming from the sales.

The taxes are based on the population of communities that do not opt out. He admitted no one was calling him back about giving him a formula to figtne out how much La Grande and the other towns that do not opt out could receive from taxes,sohe used the formula for the alcohol tax as his best guess. Boquist said if La Grande doesn't opt out of the commercial sale of marijuana, the city could receive

$2,200 in 2016,and in the 2017-18 fiscal year they could receivean estimated $14,000. "That's a small dollar amount," Boquist said.'What are you going to do with that? Is that a significant amount of money to base your decision?" Harvey said that amount of money, even if 100 percent were to go to law enforcement, would not do anything. The city council has until the end of December to decide whether to opt out of the commercial sale and productionofrecreational and medical marijuana.

The drilling of the well is expected to be finished in September. Bids for construction of the well's pump system and reservoir will then be accepted. Work on them could start later this year and may be finished sometime in 2016, Wildman said. The new well is just a portion of Island City's water system improvement project.

Redmond golf course a ci money pit By Beau Eastes WesCom News Service

2006. Instead — with the unanimous backing of the 2003 Redmond City Council — the course moved to its current site on land donated by the city and the Bureau of LandManagement. Juniper alsotook out a second city-backed loan in 2006 for another $800,000 to finish construction work on the new course. The newand improved Juniper,which opened July 2, 2005, was longer, sleeker and more modern, immediately making its way onto several"best oF'lists from Golf Digest and Goifweek Magazine. But the course was more expensive to play, too. Membership costs, which were about $100 a month at the old course, jumped by about 50 percent. Currently, individual memberships are $190 a month with family memberships costing $230 a month.

Golfers prepare to putt on the ninth green at Juniper Golf Course in Redmond last week. Within the first two years of the move, according to a city-commissioned study done by the National Golf Foundation, full memberships dropped from about 430 to 200. The study also found nonmembers rarelyreturned, in part because of slow play and high green fees.

He told authorities the woman had been wandering around camp sites and said she walkingin the area throughout the night. The hiker stayed with the woman while a search team hiked out to them. The woman reportedly called her family Monday night to say everything was OK and that she would call back in a few hours. When she didn't, they contacted her boyfriend, who also set out to find herTuesday. Search and rescue volunteers carried her out on a wheeled litter. She was later transferredto a hospitalin Bend to be evaluated.

Another reason for optimism? The fact that there wasn't a single senior on the roster in 2014-2015. "Last year was a unique year," Sweet said."This year we'll have six seniors, and all have played quite a bit. Last year we had some younger kids pushed into roles they m ay nOt haVe been uSed to.

The warplanes overnight pounded about half a dozen positions, including shelters and storage facilities, belonging to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, a government statement said. Locations included the group's mountainous stmnghold in Qandil. Turkishjets have been attackingrebel positions in northern Iraq and in southeastern Turkeyin a dramatic escalation of tensions that has Idt an alreadyfiagile peace pmcess with the Kurds in shatters.

KELLER Continued from Page 1B Dear Mike: You are long overdue to have a"fierce conversation" with this employee. Actually, you will need to have three of them. The first talk will be short, not more than five minutes. Have the meeting early in the day and plan to send her home once the meeting concludes. The purpose of the meeting is to advise the employee that you have identified unacceptable behaviors and a communication style that cannot continue. This is not a discussion; this is a situation that will require her to be awareofher actions, recognizetheim pactand the

need to change. She may be in denial soyou need to provide three recent examples and do not allow her to dispute or debate your statements. Early the next day, hold the second conversation. This is also short; it is the prescription meeting. You need to decide in advance what you will have her do to fix this situation. You might want to have her apologize tothoseimpacted, reduce her workload, direct her to take time off, take an anger management course, etc. You must prepare in advance. The third meetingis an open-ended meeting because

you need to stay on top of the behaviorsothatitdoesnot return. You will need to have additional consequences ready to impose if things revert, up to and induding termination. Two things will make this processeasierforyou.First, understand the individual in question could be creating a hostile work environment, which is a legal situation that must be addressed quickly and competently or you and your company will be at severe risk. Second, in a discussion of this importance, you should have trusted counsel in the room with you when you meet with this employee.

Davenport added that she even works with special education instructors to learn about the student's individualizededucation program to have a"unified assistance and vision" between Davenport, the teacher and the student. Experience with horses is not necessary for the program, Davenport said. There's no riding the horses involved, just standing beside them and engaging with them. Davenport is partnering with two of her friends to offer this program. Rick and Margo Mackareproviding some of their horses, along with Davenport's horse, to the clients in the programs. There are five horses and two donkeys available for the program, and Davenport said people think they choose the horse but oftentimes it's the horsethat choosesitsperson to work with. 'There's no preconceived notion on what's going to happen during the session," Davenport said. The horses kind of drive the session and the people's reaction will be abigdetermining factor as well.'There's no right or wrong way to do it. Just be present with the horse." Davenport said the program will be offered from the spring through fall. For more information, contactDavenport at541663-1528, or email atruthi. rhapsody@gmail.com.

TEQUESTA, Fla.— Two teens whose lives were interhvined with the sea remained lost in the Atlantic on Tuesday, as their families and authorities tried to maintain hope against the fadingodds oftheir survival. The Coast Guard pressed ahead with a fifth dayof searches for the boys while their families coovfinated air searches of their own, insistent that Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos were competent seamen and athletic young men who still could be found alive. But therelentless hunt by sea and air turned up no due where the 14-year-olds mighthave drifted from their capsizedboat,andthepotential for finding them alive dimmed. "As time goes on, certainly the probability of finding someone alive does decrease, but we're still within the timeframe where it's definitely possible to find somebody alive," said Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss, noting others have survived days or even a week at sea.'We know it can happen and we're hoping it happens again." The boys grew up on the water, constantly boated and fished, worked at a tackle shop together and immersed themselves in a life on the ocean. Perry's family said he learned to swim before he took his first steps. And though some questioned why the boys were out boatingalone,othersdefended their families and said such independent teen outings are commonplace among those with a passion for the water.

Clive Botha, a neighbor and fiiend of Perry's family, said his own children took a boat out alone as teens and cruisedlocalwaterways,even as he forbade them from the deep ocean waters. ''We always told our kids to not go out of the inlet, but kids will be kids, you know?" he said."I getgoosebumps. In my heart, they could have been my kids." Perry's stepfather, Nick Korniloff, said his stepson was supposed to remain on the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway during the outing with his fiiend, as they had numerous times before. Although they clearly ended up in the ocean waters, Korniloff said he didn't believe the boys were heading to the Bahamas, as some have speculated. "It's a bitofa surpriseto see, for us, that they went offshore," Korniloff said. The saga began Friday, when the boys were spotted buyingfuelaround 1:30 p.m .A line of summer storms moved through the area later that

afternoon and when the teens didn'treturn on time, the Coast Guatd was alerted at 5 p.m. and launched its search. The 19-foot boatwa sfound overturned on Sundayoff Pbnce Inlet, more than 180 miles north ofwhere the boys started their journey. The search has continued, day and night. Why the boys ended up in the Atlantic is irrelevant at this point, Korniloff said, focusing on the years of experience they had on the water that could keep them alive. ''We have ahuge amount of confidence and I think that's a testament to why the Coast Guard is working so hard," Korniloff said."They're doing that because the boys have all the ingredients that could lead to a big success here." At JIB Yacht Club and Marina, where the boys were lastreported seen,14-year-old Caden Keyfrom neighboring Jupiter maneuvered his jet ski Tuesday afternoon to fuel up before an Intracoastalouting with his fiiend, 14-yearold Katie Kleinman. Both teens knew the missing boys and their love forboating. Neither was surprised to hear of their solo journey. "A lot of kids here have grown up around the water and have always been on boats, soyou getfam iliar with the area and you know the waters and you feel confident going out," Caden said. The Coast Guard said Uuee boats and an airplane were scouring the waters off Daytona Beach, Florida, north thmugh Savannah,Georgia, and were joined by a Navy ship and other local officiais'boats.
