AFFECIING STUDENTS, ATHLETES • Eastern Oregon University, La Grande School District keeping eye on air quality index ByAlyssa Sutton

The Observer

A smoky haze has settled over La Grande just as students prepare to return to school and athletes ramp up their training for the fall season.

Air quality in La Grande — currently within a moderatestagethat isunsafefor individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions — can change not just by the day, but also by the hour as the surrounding fires continue to burn.

"It's a day-to-day issue and a time of day issue," said Andi Walsh, the community relations, grants and emergency preparedness coordinator for the Center for Human Development in La Grande.

Available to the publicand something that Walsh said coaches should be checking often — is an air quality index that is updated regularly to let people know what

The Union County Board of Commissioners will continue to take public comment on whether to opt out of the production and sale of medical and recreational marijuana and may pass the ordinance in a meeting on Sept.2.

The commissioners began gathering the community's opinions on the issue in July, with many community members in attendance at that July meeting voicing opinions on both sides. At the time, most of the communities in Union County had not discussed the issue. Now, many communities have passed an ordinance to opt out. The commissioners have yet to decide how the county will proceed and will need to make a decision by the end of the year.

One of the main topics of discussion during the July meeting was if the county SeeCounty / Page5A

La Grande ByAlyssa Sutton The Observer

Veterans in Action — an Oregon statewide nonprofit organization — is in the beginningprocessoflocating in La Grande.

VIA President Mark Musick and VIA Executive Board Member Jeff Holley visited La Grande Monday and Tuesday to meet with local businesses that would either like to partner with VIA and provide assistance to veterans, or currently do. ''tVeteran's Affairs) is a big mess, and it's not getting any better," Musick said."tVIAl helps veterans get back up on their feet and then get them productive again like before they joined ithe military).

W e've become thisbridge."

The goal ofVIAis to provide services and financial assistance where the VA can't.

For example, the VA often provides help with rent but does not cover expenses such as gym memberships. VIA partners with gyms to make memberships affordable. The purpose behind this is not only to provide a rehabilitation and workout space, but alsoa congregating point.

"I didn't get all of my information from the VA,u Musick, a veteran, said."I gotit from

other veterans."

Musick explained that VIA chose to establish an office in La Grande because there is a largepopulation ofveterans — 10 percent ofthepopulation in Union County — and also because Union County doesn't have the resources to provide comprehensive health care.

'Veterans might end up in Portland, even though they m ay be fiom La Grande, out of necessity," Musick said.

'The Portland area traditionally has the security safety net. Something strikes a chord with me that is wrong.

Someone who goes to serve, gets injured in the process and then can't get back home because they can't afford it? So w e're tryingto getfolksback to where they want to live."

Musick and Holley agree the VA is getting worse instead ofbetter. eWe're not against the VA,u Holley said.eWe think that they're a very hard-working group of people.It'sjustthe need is too great."

lasSm it Ronald Gene "Bud" Botts February 22, 1950 — August 15, 2015 Bud passed away ar his home near Joseph, Oregon on August 15, 2015. He was a life-long Wallowa Counrian in so many wonderful ways. He spent his early years in the "north end" ofthe County, much of his youth ar Wallowa Lake and most of his life in the Joseph area.

Bud was born Io Melvin and Margaret

(Goweyl Borrs in Lewisron, Idaho. He manied Cassandra (Manesl Borrs in 1974. They have one son, Beau, and he gained a daughter when Beau manied Krisrin. Two grandsons, who were literally the light of his life, are Lane and Tilden. Bud, Lane, and Tilden spent many days together, laughing, wrestling, riding, and "doing chores."

Bud fought a sometimes losing battle against a massive infection caused by a gun-shor wound in the Vietnam War. Having served in the U.S. Army, he was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals, borh with oak leaf clusters. In his civilian life, he was active in many community events, including the Wallowa County Fair, the Elk's Christmas Food basket effort, and FFA assistance. He mer every adversary, whether ir was health or otherwise related, with amazing courage. Perhaps that's why he was rewarded by passing in his sleep without pain or additional suffering.

Nor long after Bud and Cass were married, Bud worked for the Forest Service's road crew. He then worked for the Joseph School District for nearly 30 years, where he formed incredibly positive relationships with students and staff alike, often menroring students that needed a little extra support.

After retiring from the school, Bud worked for Buckhorn Ranches, where he rode with the "old cowboys." The past few years Bud spent many of his days riding on the "permit" watching over Beau and Krisrin's cattle Bud's greatest passions were his family, friends, his work, his horses and stock-dogs. He will be remembered for his problem-solving ways, his amazing work ethic and positive attitude, his wide grin and especially his superb laugh.

Bud is survived by his wife, Cassandra, son Beau and daughrer-in-law Krisrin, Iwo grandsons, Lane and Tilden, his mother, Margaret Borrs, sister Elaine Johnston, brothers Rod Borrs and Kyle Borrs and numerous nieces and nephews.

es n Editorial from the Bend Bulletin:

Oregonians who allowed or encouraged their children to skip the Smarter Balanced assessments in the school year that just ended did their kids no favor. Moreover, if their numbers grow, they could cause problems for all school-age children in Oregon.

Smarter Balanced is the new exam that Oregon chose to replace its old Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills exam when it adopted the Common Core curriculum. It was one of 17 states to use the new test last school year.

The U.S. Department of Education requires the annual assessments as part of the No Child Left Behind law. At least 95 percent of students must take the tests, and at least 95 percent of individual groups — students in poverty, students with disabilities and others — must also complete the exam.

While Oregon hit the overall goal, there were problems. African-American and disabled student participation both fell below 95 percent statewide, and twodozen ofthe state's 197 schooldistricts also fell below the mark. More than 100 districts came up short for at least one group of students.

Those numbers matter because there's money at stake. If participation rates drop too far, Oregon could lose some $344 million in federal education funds. That money largely goes to special education and to schools with a higher-than-average number oflow-income students, arguably the very kids who most need help getting through school.

Neither Common Core nor Smarter Balanced will end education as we know it nor damage our children in the process. Rather, the former is aimed at getting kids to meet higher standards than before and to learn to think critically. The latter simply allows parents, educators and others to compare Oregon student achievement with student achievement elsewhere in the United States.

Yet state lawmakers bought into the negative buzz this spring and passed a bill making opting out of exams arguably easier than opting out of immunizations — pretty much for any reason a parent can come up with.

They apparently did so without thinking seriously about the matter, and while they will be the ones asked to replace missing federal funds if they're lost, it is we taxpayers who will supply them.

Dara Lind of Vox reports that at least 4.5 million children who are citizens have at least one parent who is an illegal immigrant.

Trump evidently plans to deport almost 10 percent of California's workersand 13percent ofthatstate'sK-12 students.

Air quality outlook Air quality improved over the past 48 hours in some areas, while other areas continue to experience very poor air quality from wildfire smoke. The worst areas are from Wallowa County northward into southeastern Washington, and then especially eastward from there in neighboring Idaho.

Union County Sheriff's Office Deputy Dane Jensen arrives in Union from La GrandeTuesday afternoon. Jensen is one of the many deputies who patrols Union. Union Mayor Ken McCormack would like to see one or two deputies specifically assigned to the town.

"They would seeafamiliar face. Peoplein the community would be more at ease talking with them and sharinginformation."

UNION Continued from Page1A

— Ken Mccormack, Union mayor

'This would give them an opportunity to get to know the community better, to get a bettersenseofwhat ishappening," McCormack said at Monday's city council work session.

Union residents would feel more comfortable with the deputies in the process.

'They would see a familiar face.

People in the community would be more at ease talking with them and sharing information," McCormack said.

The City of Union has a contract with the Union County SherifFs Offtce to provide the city with about 135 hours of law enforcement service a month. The contract gives the sherifFs department a much greater presence in Union than it otherwise would have.

Union County Sheriff Boyd Rasmussen said on Tuesday he supports the idea ofhaving a deputy who is focused on Union. He suggests adding a halftime deputy. Rasmussen noted that the program he is recommending would be similar to one now in operation in the City of Elgin, which the Union County SherifFs Offtce also has a contract with.

COUNTY Continued from Page1A opts out, it will forego the taxes it would receive from the saleofrecreational and medical marijuana from the state.

According to Union County Commissioner Mark Davidson, the decision made by the commissioners will affect the unincorporatedparts of the county, the land that is outside of city limits.

"I'm a medical marijuana user myself" Plantworks owner Richard Kenton said.

"I'm interested in growing marijuana for retail, and if the county opts out of this

"An Elgin model would be assigned to the area," Rasmussen said.

The deputy assigned to Union would patrol the town for 20 hours a week.

This would boost the hours of service Union receives from the sherifFs office to approximately 215 a month.

Having a deputy assigned to Union would increase efficiency and communication, Rasmussen said, because everyone would know the best person to make contact with regarding law enforcement issues.

"There would be a go-to person for city hall and the mayor," Rasmussen said.

Adding a deputy who would work 20 hours a week would cost Union about

$3,000 a month, or $36,000 a year.

"That would be a great value," Rasmussen noted.

The City of Union began contracting services from the Union County Sheriff's Offtce about 13 years ago. The move was made shortly after the City of Union dissolved its police department as a cost-saving measure. Contracting with the sheriff's department for law

enforcement services is substantially lessexpensive than operating a police department, according to City of Union Administrator Sandra Patterson.

The City of Union is paying $86,000 for law enforcement services from the Union County SherifFs Offtce in 2015-16. Union is in the second year of a two-year contract with the sheriff's department that expires June 30, 2016.

Negotiati ons fora new contract are set to start in January. McCormack, who did not indicate whether he supports paying additional money for the sherifFs offic e'sservices,plansto discussideas for having Union-focused deputies at the negotiation sessions.

The East Oregonian newspaper reported the city is now asking citizens to complete a survey about the tagline.

The city says developing a cohesive brand helps attract businesses and increase tourism. The idea

behindoYou can GROW here" is that the Eastern Oregon city is a place to grow everything from produce to businesses.

Beside the paint job on the water tower, critics complain that the slogan opens the city up to jokes about marijuana cultivation.

The short survey includes two questions about the city's strengths. The other questions ask respondents if they have concerns with the new tagline and if the watermelon should remain in the community brand.

neverknew when Ifirst saw the country of Eastern Oregon at 18 years old that I would move to Wallowa County at 43 years old.

I spent my first 18 years in Portland and lived in Cannon Beach for 17 years.

During those years, I always took snap shots and kept journals.

I actually took every writingclassoffered atcommunity colleges in Astoria and Portland.

It wasaftertaking a 10day driving tour of Eastern Oregon in 1995 that I decided it was time to follow my heart and move.

I first moved to Joseph and then 10 plus years ago movedtothe heartof Enterprise.

My passions were fueled and fulfilled here: biking, hiking, fishing, photography, writing and reading were abundant.

Most of all, the sense of community in Wallowa Countyflourished.

My work has been always involved with people; from grant writing for non profits, socialworker tolaw enforcement, I continued my passion for serving.

About 2008, I became involved in &eelance photojournalism.

I was pretty active with our La Grande Observer for approximately three years and with other publications.

In 2010, I moved my disabled mom from California to Enterprise and besides working in the public sector, I did caretaking for her.

That made me slow down my other activities.

Other wonderful work I've been apartofincluded volunteering for Wallowa Band Nez Perce Homeland Project, Wallowa County Search and Rescue and Fishtrap to name a few.

Recently, I have decided to re-orient my career path and waspleased to re-join the team at the La Grande Observer as a freelancer and a photojournalist.

My flat coat retriever, Blue, seems happy at my choice; his 109-pound self tags along with my adventures in snap-shots.

Ilookforward to providing my interactions with the community in the form ofarticles,essays and photos.

Today, the trip from La Grande toWallowa County is a nice scenic drive on a good highway, but remember it wasn't always that way. First, there was just a trail, then a dirt road. Later the road was graveled and used that way for many years. This postcard picture, labeled "Entrance Wallowa Canyon," appears to have been taken just as you enter the canyon after leaving Wallowa headed toward La Grande. The stamp box on the back of thisWesleyAndrews postcard picture indicates a date range of1920-1942, but looking at the cars it was probably taken around 1930-1935.

Vineyards expect great grape harvest TURNER — Oregon vineyard owners are predicting a m assive grape harvest after months of hot, dry weather.

KATU-TV reported that owner Bill Fuller says vinesthat typically produce between 2 and 3 tons of grapes per acre could yield an extra ton per acre.

Fuller worriestheselastfew weeks will bring a downpour which could break the whole process.

3udge: No vehicles for juniper removal SALEM — Afederaljudge has ruled that it is illegal to use motorized vehicles to remove juniper in wilderness study areas near Oregon's Steens Mountain.

The Capital Press reportedthat thejudge ruled against the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which is cutting juniper &om about 336,000 acres in the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management Area because the treesare crowding out native vegetation. The bureau argued thevehicle ban already in place did not apply since they would be using vehicles foradministrativepurposes.

The judge sided with the Oregon Natural Desert Association, which filed the lawsuit.

Juniper removal is expected to prevent further population declines ofthe sage grouse,a candidate for endangered species protection.

By Taylor W. Anderson WesCom News Service

SALEM — After coming under fire from lawmakers for the way it administered hemp licenses six years afterthestate legalized theplant,the Oregon Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday it would suspend the program until at least March.

The move gives lawmakers time to regulatehemp toensure itcoincides with the state's matured medical and blossoming recreational marijuana markets after the Legislature failed to do so last session.

In making the announcement, the agency said it would allow active, three-year hemp license holders to continue growing if they have plants in the ground this year. No one will be granted a new, one-year license until after the short legislative session adjourns in March, the agency said.

"Given the lack of clarity in the current statute and policy concerns that have become apparent during the first year of program implementation, the Department will work closely with policymakers and the industry to make a decision on when to reactivate issuance oflicenses after the conclusion ofthe 2016 legislativesession forthe 2016 growing season," the announcement said.

CORVALLIS — The Corvallis Police Department is investigating an incident involving an officer who drew agun on a man he mistook for a suspect wanted on a felony warrant.

W ynne, who has filed a complaint with the department, couldn't be reached for comment. He told KEZITV last week that he was unarmed andhad complied with Teeter's commands.

Wood says Wynne was detainedthen released after police figured out he wasn't the suspect.

The actual suspect sought in the case had a felony warrant for absconding from supervision on a methamphetamine charge.

WASHINGTON — Aleksander Skarlatos, one of three Americans who subdued a heavily armed gunman on a Paris-bound train, will be awarded one of the U.S. Army's highest honors.

Senior Army leaders say Skarlatos, a member of the Oregon National Guard, will get the Soldiers Medal — the Army's highest award for acts ofheroism not involving actual conflict with the enemy.

Skarlatos was traveling &om Amsterdam w hen the gunman emerged from a train lavatory carrying an AK-47 and a Lugar pistol. After hearing the sound of gunfire, Skarlatos called on otherpassengers to act, then charged the gunman, helped wrestle his firearmsaway and helped knock him uncon-

The pause is essentially a win for Southern Oregon medical marijuana growers, who asked the Legislature last session to instill buffer zones and other regulations to ensure hemp and marijuana plants don't cross-pollinate with potentially ruinous effects for both plants.

The state's hemp farmers, including some in Bend and several in the Willamette Valley, said the state was picking favorites between the two cannabiscrops.Oregon voters legalized m arijuana foradults21 and olderlast November. Lawmakers in 2009 voted to allow farmers to grow hemp, which is still illegal federally because of it is in the cannabis family despite lacking

psychoactive effects.

After a lengthy rule-making process by the state Department of Agriculture, hemp farmers sought to get the first legal plants in the ground last spring and enter the highly profitable CBD oil market. The oil is sold to patients for its potentially soothing qualities on debilitating diseases and is a compound found in hemp and marijuana plants.

Lawmakers failed to pass a bill that would have restricted the hemp market as the recreational marijuana market gets off the ground in the coming year. The agency's decision giveslawmakers more time to decide how the two plants will be grown together in the coming years.

'There was the worry that gamesmanship gets played," saidRep.Dan Rayfield, D-Corvallis, who sat on the House Rules committee that legislates election law and who was recentlyelected majority whip for House Democrats.

There's no indication the other major parties will open their primary elections to nonmembers in 2016.

Democratic Party Chairman Frank Dixon didn't respond to a request for comment.

Republican Party Chairman Bill Currier said political parties exist to give voters a senseofthecandidatesthey're choosingfiom. The parlyis concerned that opening the primarywould"dilute the nomination for the general election"because the nominee would be chosen bynonRepublicans, Currier said.

He said the parties staunchly opposedtheunsuccessfi IIBallot Measure 90 thatproposed a top-two election system last yearforsim ilarreasons.

'You either have these groups that compete with each other for ideas and may the best candidate prevail," Currier said,"or you have uniformity."

• Water transfer printing process puts design on a variety of items

By Kelly Ducote WesCom News Servrce

Eastern Oregon's guns have neverlooked so interesting thanks to a duo who submerged themselves in the hydrographics business.

Rick Duckett and fiiend Deva Williams are bringing everyday objects to another level in their La Grande shop, where they specialize in water transfer printing.

Over a year ago, Duckett was looking into airbrushing a rifle when he stumbled upon hydrographics, arelatively new process for customizing guns, bows and just about anything else you can think of.

"If it can be painted and dipped in water, it can be hydrodipped," Duckett says.

Before they knew it, Duckett and Williams were en route to Florida for a two-day training in the process.

"It was quite an adventure," Duckett said.

That was in June 2014. By November they had set up shop under the name Duckett's Hydrographics. Since then, they have customized everything &om rifle scopes to Xbox and PlayStation controllers to sculls.

DEAR DONALD: What is missing &om your company is leadership. You have failed to provide your employees with the basic tools that they need to dotheirjobs.

Your role is to help your employees succeed. When they succeed, your company makes money.When they don't get what they need, they will become disagreeable with each other, because you allow it.

Those lining up to bring theseissues to your attentionarereally askingfor the ground rules ipolicies and procedures) to be created and enforced.

I doubt your competition would tolerate people arriving late to work. This cannot be an isolated incident yet late arriving employees remain onyour payroll .W hy do you permit it?

Your good employees are seething with anger. You should thank them, not complain that they want to talk to you about what is taking place. They are trying, unsuccessfully so far, to get your attention to the fact that there some serious issues you have failed to address. They want you to do something about the mess you allow so they can get on with helping you make money.

If you don't do something about it, the only people likely to remain will be the ones your competition won't hire.

By Julie Pace WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is the man in the middle, caught between the White House aspirati ons oftwoofhisclosest advisers: Vice PresidentJoe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

For months, White House officials expected Clinton to be the Democratic nominee in the 2016 election. Some of Obama's top political advisers moved to New York to run hercampaign and Obama appeared to give his tacit approval, saying she would be an"excellent president."

But that bet on Clinton suddenly looks less certain.

With Biden weighing his own presidential run more seriously amid signs of weakness in Clinton's campaign, the White H ousefacestheprospectofa family feud over who will become heir to Obama's legacy.

"Certainly he's got something at stake here,"White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday of Obama's interestin the 2016 election.

Biden's recent overtures to donors and Democratic officials have led to palpable awkwardness in the West Wing as aides — many with close ties to Clinton, the vice presidentorboth — try to maintain impartiality.

officials were irked byrevelations that Clinton sidestepped administration guidelines by using a private email account on her own computer server to do State Department business. Privately, some Obama allies also say they're miffed at Clinton's handling of the email controversy, which continues to dog her campaign.

Meanwhile, Obama and Biden appear to have developedagenuinefi iendship during their six-and-a-halfyears in the White House. When Biden's son, Beau, died ofbrain cancer earlier this year, Obama delivered a movingeulogyin which he ref erred to thevicepresident as a"brother." In the weeks atter the younger Biden's death, Obama made surethe vicepresidentwas by hisside for high-profile administration announcements.

In picking between Biden and Clinton, Obama would be making a choice between two of the most influential members ofhis administration.

Obama and Clinton long ago turned their political rivalry fiom the 2008 primary into an alliance. Clinton left the administration in early 2013 after four years as Obama's secretaryofstate,butsheand the president still get together for occasional meetings. They both attended a birthday party last week for Democratic powerbroker Vernon Jordan, and Obama played golfon thetony Massachusetts island with former President Bill Clinton.
