• As wild firesrageacross7western states,Oregon finds itself competing with others for limited resources

TheAssociated Press file photo

Firefighting resources, which are in increased demand, include 20-person hotshot or hand crews who scratch out fire lines with their hands and chainsaws, air tankers that lay down ribbons of red retardant, helicopters to douse hot spots, and two- and three-person engine crews who often respond when fires first break out.

The perfect storm oflightning strikes that crashed last week across Oregon's droughtstrickenforests,range and grasslands starteddozens ofw ildfires. Then the winds blew, turning small fires into raging infernos. Air tankers couldn't fly. Firefighters on the ground had to retreat. More than two dozen homes burned to the ground near John Day on the Canyon Creek complex of fires. And just that quickly, Oregon's fire season — which had started relatively calmlyshot to the top of the list of national priorities along with Washington state, where the wildland fire season started early and has stayed hot. That list is long: About 95 large wildfires are burning approximately 1.1 million acres in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, California, Nevada and Colorado. Resources are stretched so thin that for the first time since 2006, national fire officials are mobilizing 200 active-duty military troops from Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Tacoma to fight the fires. So the question national fire bosses ask one another during a conference call each morning at the National Incident Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, is simple: Where are the worst fires burning and where do the resources to fight those fires need to go? As of Monday, the Pacific Northwest, the Northern Rockies and Northern California were all at their highest priority levels, a SeeResources / Page 5A

By George Plaven East Oregonian

ON THIS DATE In 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia during the War of 1812, earning the nickname "Old Ironsides." In 1814, during the War of1812, British forces landed at Benedict, Maryland. In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler.

PENDLETON — Idaho Power is asking to build a portionofitsproposed Boardman to Hemingway Transmission Line on the U.S. Navy's bombing range south of Boardman to avoid interfering with nearby farms. The company, based in Boise, Idaho, has requested an easement from the Navy to placeapproximately 10 miles of transmission lines on the west side of Bombing Range Road — which splits the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility to the west and a half-dozen irrigated farms tothe east. The preferred route for Boardman to Hemingway spans five Eastern Oregon counties and more than 300 miles, beginning at a proposed Bonneville Power Administration substation east of Boardman and ending at the existing Hemingway Transmission Station in southwest Idaho. Partoftheproject's Morrow-Umatilla segment includes an alternative that shows lines running down the east side of Bombing Range Road, drawing loud criticism from landowners and county officials who say the towers would take acres ofhigh-value agriculture out of production. The issue became so contentious the Oregon Farm Bureau helped craft a bill in the Legislature that would have required utilities to study overhead transmission routestoavoid productive farmland. That bill ultimately died in committee. Mitch Colburn, engineering leader on 500-kilovolt projects for Idaho Power, said they have worked for several months with local stakeholders to come up with a plan that sticks Boardman to Hemingway on the west side of Bombing Range Road. ''We would avoid constructing a line on landowner property that could ultimately removeacresofproduction due to reduced land availability and equipment operability," Colburn said. The Boardman to Hemingway line is expected to cost

$940 million, and come online by 2020.

ea e Editorial from The Bend Bulletin:

The Oregon Department of Transportation needs help. It was hoping to get as many as 5,000 Oregon drivers signed up for the test of its new road mileage charge program. ODOT told us earlier this week it had 836. Is that enough to thoroughly test a program that all Oregonians may be using? Michelle Godfrey, a spokeswoman for ODOT, said she was told 500 would be enough. But she was not sure if 500 was just a"made-up number."That's not exactly convincing. We have manyconcerns about the program. ODOT has just given us a new one. If it doesn't get a good test, the new technology could be imposed on all Oregonians, with more bugs. ODOTs mileage program experiment is aimed at keeping Oregon's roads in good shape. Improving overall vehicle mileage and hybrid and electric cars has meant that the state's gas tax is not keeping up with road improvement needs. Something needs to be done. ODOT's answer is a mileage tax. The idea is that Oregonians would pay for the number of miles they drive. The fee is currently set at 1.5 cents per mile. There are various options for participating, and all need to be tested. But when Oregon implements a mileage tax, there's lots of room for error. It's complicated. It's government. It's new technology. There's personal information being stored. There's tracking of vehide locations, even though the program is devised so the government gets mileage and not tracking information. No data really seems safe from being hacked or from some employee accidentally leaving a laptop lying around with private information on it. And there may be some people who don't care if there is a tracking device in their car, but for many it would feel like an invasion of privacy. Then there's a strange incentive in the system. Gas guzzlers pay less than under the per-gallon tax. All those worries are likely why ODOT is closer to 500 participants in its test than 5,000. And that creates a new worry. Will it be fully tested? Legislators should not let the program become law until they are satisfied it works. In fact, why not require lawmakers themselves to use it for a year before foisting it on all Oregonians? •

An interagency firefighting team was brought in and based at the Elgin Stampede Grounds. At one time, the team had 713 people on the fire. Today muchofthe fi re has been extinguished, but its interior still has embers that are slowly burning. 'Tree stumps in the ground are smoldering," Mahoney said. Mahoney emphasized that such hot spots are far from the perimeter of the fire where a large fire line was

level 5, which means the threeregions arecompeting for the same resources. Northeast Oregon, which has been hit by a barrage of fires, is feeling the impact ofthiscompetition for resources. oWe arestretched to the breaking point," said Jerry Garrett, assistant manager of the Blue Mountain Dispatch Center in La Grande. Ranae Crippen, manager of the Blue Mountain Dispatch Center, said that more resources than usual are having to be shared this summer. Firefighting resources, which are in increased demand, include 20-person hotshot or hand crews who scratch out fire lines with their hands and chainsaws, air tankers that lay down ribbonsofred retardant, helicopters to douse hot spots, and two- and threeperson engine crews who often respond when fires first break out. 'The Pacific Northwest and other regions move to that highest priority when there are more than 14 large, activefi resand there is a full commitment of resources," said Koshare Eagle, a spokeswoman for the Northwest Coordination Center in Portland.oWe met both of thosethresholds last week." So how is the decision made on where those resources are allocated? In Oregon, 11 state and federalagencies areinvolved in wildland fire suppression. They, as in other regions, set their priorities and report to national fire bosses in Boise. Then officials at the national fire centermake decisions based on the following priorities: The first priority is based on the risk to public safety and to firefighters. The second priority is the threat to communities, homes and businesses. The third priority is the threatto infrastructure, such as power lines or water supplies. When multiple locations within a geographic area meet all those criteria, they are all competing for national resources. "Last year, Oregon had many fires, but we could draw on resources from other regions and the nation because they had fewer fires," Eagle said.'That's

A tree stump smolders Monday on the Phillips Creek Fire. The fire area is composed of about 2,000 acres of Umatilla National Forest land and about 600 acres of private land protected by ODF.

The containment line receiveda big teston Friday when strong winds blew throughout the fire area for hours. Fortunately, no embers were blown over the containment line and no spot fires were started. 'That made us feel like the entireperimeter was secure," Mahoney said."The wind reallytested it.Ifany embers were going to go over the fire line, that was the day." The fire area is composed

of about 2,000 acres of Umatilla National Forest land and about 600 acres of private land protected by ODF. The private land is less vulnerable to any flare-ups, Mahoney said, because it does not have dense grass and brush.

PETITION Continued from Page1A The members are hoping to gather more than 650signatures from registered voterson the petition requesting that the term limits option be on the ballot. But the petition needs to be approved by the county clerk and district attorney's office first. The voters would decidewhether torestricta commissioner's term to eight years. "A commissioner could serve two terms, then step out and come back," said Jack Johnson, who attended the meeting.'That's what we're trying to avoid. We should have a maximum number of terms specified." During the Tuesday meeting, those in attendance discussed whether to allow a commissioner to serve two consecutive terms with the ability to serve more or to restrict the position to just eight years.

petition from Douglas County, whose voters recently passed a restriction on the number of terms. Mollerstrom said although some people would argue that setting term limits is a restriction of freedom, those who truly want to serve their community can do so in positions other than commissioner. "People who are interested in still serving can do so on sub-committees," said Chris Boylen. Her husband, Kyle Boylen, said the point of the term limits is to get away from the "good

old boys club." Now, Mollerstrom will take the petition to the county clerk's office and then it will be given to the Union County District Attorney's office for review. Union County Citizens for Good Government plans to set up a Facebook page for anyone interested in following this issue. The next meeting for the group will be at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 15 at the Smokehouse Restaurant in La Grande.

Eagle Complex fires grow UNION — Warm, dry and sometimes windy conditions, plus strategic burning by firefighters, helped the EagleComplex firesexpandTuesday. The fires grew a total of 537 acres on Tuesday to 3,055 acres. Firefighters focused a significant portion of their time preparing cabins and other structures in the Eagle Complex area for the possible onslaught of fire. Part of this work involved making sure that the structures have hoses and water pumps, said Chris Barth, a public information officer for the Eagle Complex fires. Aircraft were again used by firefighters. A plane was used to drop fire retardant and helicopters to pour water on the blazes. Hand lighting was also conducted as part of firefighting efforts. This was done to push the fires in different directions, including away from roads. "We want to bring the fire where we want it rather than having it pick its own course," Barth said. He added that this strategic burning will make the blaze move in a more stable manner, which makes it easier to control. If left alone, the fires would move erratically. Barth said that although the fires are continuing to grow, the good news is that the expansion has not been irregular. "The fires are growing slowly from the perimeter. They are not making dramatic moves," Barth said. The Eagle Complex fires are still 0 percent contained. The reason is that firefighters are concentrating on protecting cabins and structures from the blazes rather than building a containment line. "They are focused on a defensive mode," Barth said. "Our priority is protecting lives and structures." Level 2 evacuation notices remain in effect for the Eagle Complex fires. Notices have been issued for those living in cabins and structures on Forest Service Road 77 in the Bennett Peak area, the main Eagle area and Tamarack Campground. People receiving Level 2 notices are expected to be ready to evacuate immediately. Level 3 evacuation notices were issued Sunday to people in the east fork of the Eagle Creek area. The Level 3 notices require immediate evacuation. A total of197 people are now on the Eagle Complex fires. They are being fought by Rocky Mountain Team Black, aType 2 interagency management team. — Dick Mason, The Observer

FireFighters set to strengthen containment lines By La'akea Kaufman VVesCom News Serwce

Weather forecasts call for hot, dry conditions in Western Oregon to begin moving into the eastern part of the state tonight. The high temperatures, however, will pose challenges for about 8,000 firefighters in Washington and Oregon.

em s wi ByAndre Meunier PORTLAND — A week of intense wildfires has left managers concerned aboutheat-related illnessesamong crews as temperatures in Eastern Oregon pressed into the 90s on Tuesday. The 27 large, uncontained fires in Oregon and Washington continued to burn on more than 500,000 acres overnight, but crews reported only moderate growth on some. And no lightning strikes hit the region, meaning no new large fires erupted. But Carol Connolly, spokeswoman with the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, said fire managers expect conditions to grow more challenging this week as hotter, windier weather moves in.

The BLM fought the fire with four air tankers and one helicopter along with ground crews Tuesday. One home at the lunction of Snake River and Morgan Creek roads was saved. The tankers laid down retardant to stop the fire from burning north into Bear Gulch and Hibbard Creek. Moore said the cause of the fire had not been determined today. A hand crew and engines remained at the fire Wednesday.

BAKER CITY — Firefighters on the Eagle Complex, Eldoradoand Cornet-Windy Ridgefi res are preparing for high winds and a cold front expected to move through the area on Thursday. A statementreleased by the Baker County Joint Information Center detailed plans to strengthen containment lines on the Eldorado fire, which has burned 20,601 acres and is 35 percent contained as of this morning. Fire crews will be working for the next 48 hours in that area to establish containment lines that will be ableto hold hotembers well within the fire perimeter when wind arrives. The National Guard is assisting in suppression efforts with a host of Blackhawk helicopters. Evacuations for the Eldorado fire have all been reducedto Level 1iget ready), and are in effectfor Shirts Creek, Job Creek and south of Job Creek Road, east of Bull Run Road, south of Campbell Lane, Dry Gulch, Ripley Gulch, Beam Creek, Eldorado Ditch, Long Creek and Long Creek Reservoir, Camp Creeksouth ofHighway 26 and Ironside.

fire season in Oregon, a rash oflightning strikes earlier this week combined with drought and tinder-dry fuels to spark a round oflarge fires, starting with the Cornet-Windy Ridge fire in Baker City. The fire, which remains Oregon's largest, was sparked by lightning Aug. 10 and has charred 99,000 acresoftim ber and shortgrassfour miles west of Durkee. It was 45 percent Wednesday morning. Then the Canyon Creek Complex of fires erupted last Wednesday a mile southofJohn Day and Canyon City, and by Saturday it had destroyed 26 homes and damaged more than 100 other structures. The fire, which started with lightning strikes Aug. 12, has burned 40,000 acres, pushed along by 40 mph winds through drought-stricken forest. It had 0 percent containment on Monday. Other large, uncontained wildfires include the County Line 2 fire, which has burned through about 60,000 acres of short grass and brush on the Warm Springs Reservation and has threatened homes and businesses. It is 31 percent contained as of Monday. The Bendire Complex of fires started Aug. 11 by lightning and has consumed 44,000 acres of grass and timber 15 miles north of Juntura. Firefighters have achieved 50 percent containment. About 40 miles east of John Day, the Eldorado fire has burned 20,000 acres and is 35 percent contained. And the Stouts Creek fire east of Canyonville has burned 25,000 acres and is 75

percent contained as of Monday. In Washington, many tourists have fled the scenic lakeside town of Chelan in the Cascade Mountain range after wildfires burned dozens ofhomes and continued to threaten many more. M ore than 1,000 people are battling the massive Reach fires near Chelan that have burned more than 170 square miles and destroyed 29 homes, officials said. Scores of homes remain threatened, and mandatory evacuation ordersarein effectform ore than 2,900

people. On Tuesday, smoke was thick in the air of downtown Chelan. Particles of ash fell from the sky. Some residents wore surgical masks as they walked through town. The firefighters sleep in the woods, get upevery morning and work a full day, said Rob Allen, the deputy incident commander. In northern Idaho, more than 40 homes were lost near the town of Kamiah. So many fires are burning across the West that the National Interagency Fire Center this week called in 200 acti ve-duty military troops to help contain roughly 95 wildfires. It's the first time since 2006 that the agency has mobili zed soldiersforfi re suppression. The troops are all coming from the 17th Field Artillery Brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma and will be sent to a fire north of Republic, a town in central Washington, about 30 miles south of the Canadian border.

Eastern picked sixth in NAIA The Eastern Oregon University volleyball team, the top team in the Cascade Collegiate Conference preseason coaches poll, opens the 2015 season ranked No. 6 in the Tachikara-NAIA Volleyball Coaches' Preseason Top 25 Poll. Eastern starts its regular season Friday at home against Montana State University-Northern in the Eastern Oregon Invitational.

Goodell, Brady called to court U.S. District Court Judge Richard M. Berman has ordered New England Patriots QBTom Brady and commissioner Roger Goodell to appear in court on Aug. 31 if no settlement is reached in Brady's appeal of his fourgame suspension before then. Berman also said offering an opinion in the case by Sept. 4 would be a quick turnaround for him, and he told attorneys in the case "not to hold him" to the date. Both sides had asked for a decision by Sept. 4, six days before the Patriots' regular-season opener.

P • Replacement for Heisman winner Marcus Mariota tops list ofbiggest questions for University of Oregon as prepares for season opener Sept. 5 The Associated Press

Oregon's quest to replace quarterback Marcus Mariota has alreadyseen itsshare ofdrama. Talented transfer Vernon Adams finally arrived on campus after a cliffhanger finish to his Eastern Washington career, while Mariota's backup, Jeff Lockie, workedhard to differentiate himself from the newcomer. Coach Mark Helfrich said that ideally he'd like to name a starter in advance of Oregon's opener on Sept. 5 against — interestingly enough — Eastern Washington. But it depends. "I don't have a crystal ball," Helfrich said."It has to play itself out. If that's decided in a week, in two months, then it's decided. You can't put a time frame on it." It will be difftcult for either candidatetostep outofM ariota's shadow. The Heisman-winning quarterback set a Pac-12 single-seasonrecord for total touchdowns with 58, including 42 via pass, 15 on the run and one touchdown catch. He also set the conference mark for career touchdowns with 136.

He declared his eligibility for the NFL draft shortly after the Ducks fell 42-20 to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff championship game and was the No. 2 overall pick by the Tennessee Titans. Under Mariota, the Ducks finished last season 13-2 and ranked No. 2. Lockie was his backup last season,completing 21 of27passes for 207 yards and a touchdown. But the redshirt junior was impressive in this year's spring game, completing all nine ofhis passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns while leading his team toa 35-29victory. "Coach Helfrich wants competition because that will make us all better," Lockie said."I don't think any of us can argue against that." Adams' arrival on campus was delayed until he passed a math classhe needed tocomplete his degree at Eastern Washington, where he was a two-time Big Sky Conference offensive player of the year, amassing 10,438 passing yards and 110 touchdowns in his three seasons. As a first-year player at

Oregon, Adams is unavailable to talktothemedia before the season opener. And, since practices are closed, there is limited chance to know exactly how the competition with Lockie is going. Other things to watch at Oregon this season:

No Tyner The Ducks will likely be without running back Thomas Tyner forthe season after shoulder surgery. Tyner, a record-setting homegrown prep star, appeared in 11 games last season, gaining 573 yards and scoring five touchdowns, primarily serving as backup to breakout freshman Royce Freeman while he struggled with injuries. cwe'd all love to have Thomas out there; he just provides one more weapon in our offense," Lockie said."But we've missed guys like that before. It's next guy up.

With a chance at history out of the way early, Hisashi Iwakuma settled in and continued his recent mastery of the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. Iwakuma followed his nohitter of Baltimore last Wednesday by limiting the Rangers to two runs and five hits over seven innings in the Seattle Mariners' 3-2 win. He gave up a hit to Texas' second batter, a single by Shin-Soo Choo. He retired 12 straight at one point and struck out six while walking one.

PORTLAND — An Iowa team advanced to the Little League Softball World Series semifinals Tuesday by beating an opponent forced to playatiebreaker afteritwasaccused of deliberately losing a game. The Central Iowa team beat South Snohomish Washington 3-2 in a rematch ordered by the tournament. Offtcials demanded the extra game after itreceived reportsthatsome teams "did not play with the effort and spirit appropriate" for Little League play. The dispute arose after the Washington team was shut out Monday by a team from Salisbury, North Carolina. The loss created a three-way tie for the Pool B title, meaning that Washington and North Carolina would advance to the semifinals and the Polk City, Iowa, team would not. Central Iowa president Chris Chadd, who was back in Iowa on Monday, said he was hearing from Iowa coach Charlie Husak that some of Washington's top hitters were bunting rather than swinging away, and that the squad wasn't using its top pitcher to start the game.

PORTLAND — Deschutes County authorities say a man was fatally stabbed in La Pine. According to sherifFs Lt. Tim Leak, deputies and paramedics found the victim Tuesday after responding an address on Dustan Road. Few details have been divulged, but Leak says there is no danger to the community that's 30 miles south of Bend. He says the names of those involved will be released later.

Distilled spirits sales in Oregon are higher than ever, thanks in part to a stronger economy and population growth. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission said on Tuesday that the spirits generated more than $1 billion in gross revenue for the 2013-2015 biennium. That's nearly $90 million, or 8 percent, more than the previous biennium. The growth in sales is not necessaril y attributed to consumers buying more spirits. Instead, sales and distribution statistics show it's due to customers purchasing more expensive products and more customers buying the alcohol. The commission distributes profits from liquor sales to cities, counties, mental health and drug services, and the state general fund. Twelve percent of the overallsalesstatewide are from Oregon distillers.

Oregon to get $2.2 million from Amgen Oregon will get $2.2 million kom drugmaker Amgen following a multi-state investigation into the company's marketing of two drugs. Oregon and Illinois led the investigation on behalf of 48 states and the Districtof Columbia. The states allege Amgen marketed Aranesp, an anemia drug, and Enbrel, used to treat plaque psoriasis,for purposes not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Under a settlement announced Tuesday, Amgen

will pay $71 million. Oregon's share will go to an account that funds investigations into unlawful business practices. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum's office says settlements with drug companies and medical device makers have brought Oregon nearly $15 million since last summer. Amgen said it is pleased to haveresolved the matters and thatithas a strong legal compliance program. — The Associated Press

When it comes to teaching about the Holocaust, many resort to what Casey Pallister calls "shock teaching" — showing horrific images kom concentration camps, of starving children behind barbedwire and bodiespiledup. 'You think maybe that's your hook or your connection for istudentsl, but in my mind it's kind of shallow," Pallister said. "It just doesn't resonate with them very well. There's no real connection." Pallister, a humanities teacher at Sisters High School, was recently selected by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., as one of16 teacher fellows. After a five-day training at the museum last month, they will spend the next year developing lesson plans on the Holocaust and stagesofgenocidetobedistributed by the museum.

Jordan Meyer, owner of Overshot Photography, spent several months writing out a document requesting the Federal Aviation Administration grant him authorization to fly his drone for commercial use.

• La Grande grad at helm of &st licensed drone company in Eastern Oregon By Kelly Ducote WesCom News Serwce

A 2011 La Grande High School graduate is proving the sky's the limit. Overshot Photography, owned by Jordan Meyer, recently got the Federal Aviation Administration's go-ahead to become the first licensed drone company in Eastern Oregon. "I absolutely can say I'm addicted to aerial photos and aerial views," the 21-year-old Meyer

SRld.

Meyer's new business is deeply rooted in his love for aviation, an interest of his since childhood. He is in the process of getting his pilot's license, but in the meantime has plenty to do with Overshot. His interest in drones or unmanned aircraft systems, Meyer's preferred term, was piqued when he learned about someone in Arizonadoing realestate photography with drones. He realized there's a"whole new industry that hasn't been tappedintobefore,"M eyer said. But licensing his own UAS, a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, wasn't an easy task. In order to license a UAS, for which there are no current regulations, operatorsmust send detailed reports to the FAA outlining which FAA regulations they need exemptions from. For instance, Meyer said, a UAS doesn't need seatbeltsbecause they are not manned. Meyer's report was 36 pages in length, and he did it without the help of an attorney. It took a couple months of research. Meyer saidhe looked atreportsfrom other drone companies for help. "It took about four months from start to finish," he said."My nights and weekends were filled with this endeavor." Meyer, who also works full time

The Phantom drone is one of the most complex and sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicle on the market. The drone can use GPS coordinates to plot a track to follow, fly back to where it originally took off and land itself, and provide streaming video to a smartphone while in flight.

"I have some experience working with ground

equipmentfor localmedia companies, but most of my photography experience is aerial." — Jordan Meyer, Overshot Photography owner

at Mountain West Moving and Storage, said the FAA approval came July 31. "It's a huge relieftom e,"hesaid last week."To be able to advertise and market myself openly has made this business grow so much in the past week." For now, Meyer said the focus is working with local real estate agencies. Overshothas partnered with Valley Real Estate to offer UAS photography for listings. 'You have to sell Mount Emily, Mount Harris, the valley just as much as you have to sell the frontyard,"he said.'We're advertising the amazing surroundings of the house." Meyer's UAS is equipped with a mounted custom 14-megapixel HD camera by DJI. It is capable of taking still photos and video. M eyer bel ieves hisfather'slove of photographyhas played arole in his new business.

"I believe I inherited that," he said."I have some experience working with ground equipment forlocalmedia companies,but most of my photography experience is aerial." He has been approached for filming local TV shows and has donatedfootage to localm edia outlets of events like the Fourth ofJuly fi reworks show and La Grande's Crazy Days celebration. Meyer, who has three employees at Overshot including himself hopes to grow down the road. Still, he said, he wants to be a small business owner and looks forward to modeling his own business after his employer, Mountain West. "Being there has shown me how to treat customers well, how to treat employees well and how to run a business," he said. Operatinga drone,though, doesn't always mean he is treated SeeDrone / Page 2B

DEAR PAUL: Your employeesaren'tinterested in being owners of your business. Ownership is far more difficult than being an employee. Individuals who are employees don't want the hassle, the headaches, the risk or the uncertainty of ownership. Employees seek a steady paycheck, security, and a place to learn, contribute and grow. Individuals join a company and are often told their input is welcomed and necessary for the company and that their opinions matter and that they will be heard. This idealism is crushed when managementand ownership pay lip service tothese words. Employees learn that they are to be seen and not heard. Be grateful for loyal and productive people on the payroll. This is an asset to utilize to engage your employees to become business partners and notcoststobereducedorcut. If you do not now have a gain-sharing program, that is where I recommend you start. My clients have used thesekind ofprograms for yearsyielding great results. In the case of my clients, eachowner established goals foreach department to accomplish for a six month period. The goals were specific and measurable and focused on cost reductions and productivity improvements. The departmental goal was broken down so that each individual had goals. Everyone was eligible for a share of the departmental award and their own individual reward. Individual checks were handed out at a company lunch monthly after accounting closed the books. Over time, my clients were abletotransform theirbusinesses through this. Employees become more engaged, more focused and took ownershipofthe costreduction programs and productivity improvements. These programs were launched during difficult economic times when it was notpossibleforthecompanies to give employees raises. Gain sharing results were consideredbetterby theem ployees compared to raises because the employees had control over the amount they could earn. SeeKeller / Page 2B

SOUTH HERO, Vt.— As more farms open themselves up to visitorsfor applepicking,hay ridesand some extra income, experts are advisingowners to take stepsto prevent accidents — be they small or fatal. Farming is one of the more dangerous occupations in the U.S. mostly due to the machinery and equipment, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a growing interest in local food has led to agritourism becoming a big business, with the number of U.S. farms reporting income from such activities rising 42 percent between 2007 and 2012, according to the latest Census of Agriculture. Adding urbanites, who may not be familiar with hazards such as irrigation ponds or farm equipment that could pique a child's interest, can be a recipeforaccidents. So, experts say farmers have to purchase the proper insurance, know where the hazards are and keep tourists away from those areas. Doing so can prevent injuries, lawsuits and notoriety and keep farms in business. It isn't known how many

Ron Hackett, of Hackett's Orchard, talks with Lisa Chase, of the University ofVermont Extension service, about measures the orchard has taken to protect the safety of visitors. As more farms open up to visitors for apple picking, hay rides and corn mazes, extension officials are urging the owners to take steps so their facilities and equipment are safe to help prevent accidents. agritourism-related injuries have occurred in the U.S., said Marsha Salzwedel, an agritourism safety specialist with the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety in Marshfield, Wisconsin.

of these incidents if not all of them are pretty much preventable." The first key is assessing the risks, said Brian Schilling of Rutgers' Cooperative Extension in New Brunswick, New Jersey."If you've grown up on a farm you're sort of blind to a lot of these things," he said, advising owners to have an extension agent, emergency official or insurance agent walk the farm to identify hazards. The extension also has a safety checklist that reminds farmers to, among other things, designate areasthat are closed to the public, trainemployees toproperty operate farm machinery, secure and restrict areas that contain chemicals, provide hand-washing or hand-sanitizing stations and have employees assist with parking.

Break down your goals into manageable steps. Next write down the three best financial decisions you have made. Turn the card over and write down how you "make your house stronger" or manage risk with your financial planning. For example, some risks you insure, such as long-term care, disability and death. Other risks, such as investment risk, you may actively manage with tools such as diversification and a buy and sell discipline. You can also manage risk by reducing debt and controlling spending. There are many types of financial risk and the key to successful financial planning is being aware of them and having a plan to follow. You nowhave aquick meaningful formula.

Being correctly insured is also important,since a regularfarm policy does not typically cover an agritourism activity, said Salzwedel, who added that she's seen a number of farms end up getting sued over injuries. "In some incidences, they're able to work through it and they work with the insurance companies if necessary and things go on fine," she said."In other incidences, it actually will close down the farm." In last year' shayride accident,a corporation that owns the Harvest Hill Farm property in Mechanic Falls, Maine, has filed for bankruptcy, citing personal injury claims as a liability. The district attorney charged the farm with manslaughter and brought misdemeanor chargesagainst the driverand a mechanic; all pleaded not guilty last month. Farm owner Peter Bolduc deniedknowing about any mechanical problems with the 1979 Jeep that was hauling the wagon.

DRONE Continued from Page 1B well off the bat. "I have actually had people threaten to shoot the drone down, which is a felony," Meyer said. Under Oregon law, UAS operatorscan fl y overprivate propertyonce.Iftheproperty owner tells them to stop, they must do so. Meyer said he will bring his drone down if people are uncomfortable "just to be considerate and be sure people aren't feeling trespassed on." As a business owner, Meyer said he wants to be open and transparent with people about what he does and that he has nothing to hide. He is in touch with 911 dispatch and makes contact with event organizers before flying his UAS. He also won't fly his drone if the weather isn't 100 percent. "Most people are understanding when you say, 'I want to keep your property safe, I want to keep you safe and I want to keep myself safe,"'he said."I want everyone to know what I'm doing."

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration's approval ofdrilling for oilin the Arctic Ocean dashes with the message President Barack Obamawill deliver when he visits Alaska to emphasize the dangm ofdimate change, some environmental groups say. As much as the groups praiseObama forhisoverall body of work — &om stricter fuel-eSciency standards to regulationsaimed atreducing greenhouse gas emissions &om power plants — they considertheapprovalofexploratory drilling in the Arctic a stain on his environmental legacy that will send a mixed message to other countries about the seriousness of con&onting global warming. The burning of fossil fuels causes more greenhouse gases to build up in the atmosphere. Some groups would prefer leaving the oil in the ground and not tempting the harsh environmental conditions that could hinder the response to any potential spill. "It sends a terrible signal totherestofthe world for the United States to be using publicresources topromote that development," said Niel Lawrence of the Natural Resources Defense Council.'We have to make clearto therest of the world that we are all in on a clean energy future. And we've got to stop giving the restoftheworld licenseto go

The administration previously allowed Royal Dutch Shell to begin drilling only the topsections oftw owells in the Chukchi Sea because key equipment, called a capping stack, was stuck on a vesselthat needed repairin Portland, Oregon. Now, Shell is free to drill into oil-bearing rock,estimated at8,000feet below the ocean floor. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that U.S. Arctic waters hold 26 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Shell is eagertoexplorein a basin that company oScials say could be a"game changer" for domesticproduction.
