• Clayvilles hope to work collaboratively with new grocery store

• Excavation work on Blue Springs Crossing to start within two weeks

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

Nearly three decades ago, Linda and Dennis Clayville went out on a limb to open their own natural foods store.

In a 750-square-foot portion of the Foley Building, they launched Nature's Pantry. Just a short time later, they moved into a building on Fourth Street where they still operate today.

"Some of our friends thought we were crazy," says Linda, who left a comfortable nursing home administrator job torun the store.

Tim Mustoe/The Observer

By Kelly Ducote The Observer

The decision last week by the La Grande Urban Renewal Agency

to help provide $500,000 in funding for the establishment of Market Place Family Foods has prompted a number of questions from residents concerned abouttheidea.

La GrandeCommunity and Economic Development Director Charlie Mitchell takes a look at some of these questions: The Observer: Won't this grocery store negatively impact Nature's Pantry just across the street?

Charlie Mitchell: The owners of Nature's Pantry, Dennis and Linda Clayville, have publicly stated that they are very much in favor of the grocery storeprojectand are lookingforward

to thegrocery storeopening asthe additional foot traffic in the area will aid their store as well. Since both buildings are owned by the same individual, thereisnodesirefrom the property owner to cause harm to either tenant.

From our understanding, both store owners have met and discussed which products they will offer and which products they will not offer, so as not to compete with one another; there is only the apparentdesire to aid each other.

TO: As aresident, I see the Urban Renewal District on my taxes but don't live downtown. How much am I paying into it each year?

CM: The answer is somewhat complex and difficult for most to fully understand. The bottom line here is that although UR does appear on everyone's tax bills, only those within the

UR District are truly"paying into" it each year. UR does not raise any taxes.

If it were to go away tomorrow, no one's tax bills would be impacted — only the distribution of the taxes that they pay.

TO: Parking is already an issue in La Grande. How will that need be addressed at Market Place Family Foods?

CM: Theproposed storelocation lies within the City's "Exempt Off Street Parking" area where businesses are not requiredto provideoff-streetparking.

Thissit e already has off-streetparking and those spaces will be utilized as a part of this project.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Police: No difference dealing with animals

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

There are two sides to every story. When an officer uses lethal force, the officer and the situation will be put under a microscope by everyone.

There's no difference if an officer is protecting himself against a physical attack from a human or from the family pet the policy is the same.

Protect yourself. Protect the public.

La Grande Animal Control Officer Kati Heath said she has never had to take out her taser or pepper spray to subdue an animal.

"I get them with treats," she said with a laugh.

The morning they do, biologists will use a syringe mounted on a pole to inject a tranquilizer to immobilize the wolf, weigh it and take a blood sample, all the while monitoring its vital signs to be sure it is OK. If it is OR-7's mate that steps in the trap,the blood sample could reveal what pack she is from through DNA analysis. If it is one of the pups, biologists will keep trying to catch an adult.

DRILL Continued from Page1A occurred.

Just after 1:30 p.m., teachers could be seen evacuating the school by Pioneer Park as they had been instructed to do in a training session on Monday."The shooter," who was played by Lt. Derick Reddington, had entered the school firing blanks. Oflicers, who acted as first responders, used "Simunition" bullets to take the shooter down. Simunition bullets are similar to those used in paintball, Harvey said, but they are much more accurate and hurt a bit more.

To a passerby, the shocked and scared looks from the evacuating teachers could easily fool someone into thinking they were part of a real emergency situation.

The teachers told police in the debriefing that their heart rates were still well above normal.

Harvey lauded the school employeesfortheirefforts during the drill.

"In my book, that was a very successful drill," he satd.

The employees said they were surprised to find that some of them froze up during the event. One teacher said as she tried to dial 911, she instead accidentally went into the contacts on

her phone. Another was unable to open a window to escape. Harvey said in intense moments, people often lose motor skills or freeze up. Still others said they didn't hear the gunshots or screams from another role player. That could highlight a need to upgrade communications or the fact that peoplesometimes reactto intense situations by losing their hearing or vision.

"I wanted you guys to experience that without me telling you those things," Harvey said.

Despite therelative successofthedrill,a receptionist did become a"victim" in the drill. The receptionist, though, was the only person Reddington even saw on his faux rampage.

"That was very, very impressive," Harvey said.

Union County Emergency Manager JB Bmckwas pleasedto hearthatsom e teachersbarricadedthemselves in theirroom and blocked the entrance with a coatrack "Just because you begin w ith barri a cade doesn't mean you don't transition to a run," he said.'You bought yourself a little more timeand that could be five kids."

IfOR-7 hadn'tfound a mate, noone would be trying to put a new collar on him, Stephenson said.

Though the public has been fascinated by OR-7's movements, wildlife managers are more interested in the movements of his pack. Oregon's wolf management plan calls for collaring at least one individual from each pack.

real-life scenario. Brock said it's a tough call because statistics show in most school shootings, theperpetratoris either a student or employee.

"There's not an answer there, there really isn't," Brock said."Statistically, ithe shooter) is one of you, it's one of your kids."

Brock, who was outside monitoring the training, reiterated that those who evacuated should make suretoreach a safe distance away from the shooting.

"I wouldrecommend getting further away, finding a place to barricade,"he said.'Seekcover.

Getbehind something."

Though the school employees were visibly shaken, Brock told them they likely only experienced about a tenth of the adrenaline rush they'd have in a real-life situation. He encouraged them to think through that mental exercise.

"Thinking through the scenario. ..that'salm ostas good as actually doing it," Brock said.

Thinking it through could mean little things — like practicing dialing 911 or openinga potentialescape wtndow.

"Build on this," Brock said.

"Don't make it a one-time thing."

The law enforcement professionalsalsostressed that a major factor was missing from Tuesday's drill: the children, who usually start screaming as soon as they're aware of what's happening.

"That Is the hardest sound to have to deal with," said Brock, a parent himself.

Harvey said thepolice department and sherifl's office havegiven presentationsfor this type ofincident to all the schools in the county. He has also offered to do active shooter drills in the public schools.

Grande Ronde Academy Administrator Donna Tsiatsos said the experience was a good one for the school and her staf.

"This just accelerates the factthat we need to address othersafetyissues, "she said, adding that she hopes to get some of those changes made in advance of their first day of school on Tuesday."I think this has made us more aware of our weaknesses."

The 15-year-old Bellis rallied from down a break in the third set for a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 first-round victory Tuesday over the 12th-seeded Cibulkova. With an overflow crowd at a cozy side court roaring, she broke Cibulkova's serve to clinch the match.

• La Grande strives to build on momentum after undefeated GOL run

By Eric Avissar The Observer

The La Grande High School volleyball program will enter the upcoming season with the belief it can make another run toward a state championship, despite the losses of seniors Kendall Kirkland, Shania Holpuch, Lily Page and Cassidy Crites.

"That group of girls worked very hard," head coach Melinda BeckerBisenius said."They all played their

roles well, and it's hard losing seniors."

While each of the four players who graduatedfrom lastyear' steam that made it to the state quarterfinals played an important role, Becker-Bisenius is confident her returning players can fill the void.

"The kids have some big shoes to fill, but I think we'll be able to do that," Becker-Bisenius said.'We have the kids who can do it, we just have to really push in all of our practices and competitions to make it happen."

The Tigers will have a strong offensive core returning this season. Senior middle hitter Anna Grigsby returns as the team'smost established offensive

Ashley Jarosin scored twice for San Diego, and Allie Leon and Katherine Day added goals as the Hawks scored two goals in both halves. Mountie goalkeeperJessica Parker struggled against San Diego following her standout performance against California State-San Marcos Sunday, in which she made eight saves in a 0-0 double

"Anna is a great leader for us," Becker-Bisenius said."She was on fire last year in the state tournament, and I'm really excited that she's back."

Fellow seniors Hanna Cashell and Cassandra Brownell finished last season second and third in kills, as they tallied 93 and 78 kills, respectively.

Becker-Bisensius said she will count on the senior trio offensively, while juniors Kali Avila and Matty Spencer will play key roles on offense as a setter. Junior Addie Hagerman will also see extended SeeTigers/Page 10A

San Diego carried the first half momentum into the second half, quickly generating a scoring chance in the opening minutes, with Parker forced to make a save on Elya Jasper's shot.

But just a minute later, Parker could not deny Leon, who scored five minutes into the second.

W ith San Diego ahead by three goals, Jarosin added the finishing touch with her second goal of the match midway through the half.

Right before halfbme, Day found the back of the net to put Eastern in a 2-0 hole at the break.

'They had such a great year," head coach Jennifer Teeter said.'We had such strongkidsand great competition in our practices."

The Panthers retam eight players with varsity experience, with outside hitters Emma Bowers and Hannah Wilhelm coming back as the returning starters.

While Mills led the team last season with 395 kills, Bowers and Wilhelm finished second and third on the team in kills with 246 and 111, respectively .Bowers isalso a proven server, having led the team with 52 serving aces last season.

"Both Emma and Hanna are great players," Jennifer Teeter said.'They are bringing a lot to the team this year, and they work really well together."

Afterimpressing as a m iddle hitter lastseason on the junior varsity team, Hayley VanLeuven will have the chance to prove herself as an offensiveforceforthevarsity squad on a regular basis.

Demonstrators request'Hoops Not Bombs'

Cease-fire holds aRer 50 days of fighting JERUSALEM — An openended cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip was holding Wednesday, as many people on both sides of the conflict wondered what was gained during 50 days of fighting.

The Gaza war is the third round of fighting since the Islamic militant group Hamas seized power in 2007 and has left more than 2,200 people dead, caused widespread destruction in the densely populatedcoastalterritory, and paralyzedlarge partsof southern Israel during much of the summer.

After more than seven weeks offighting, the two sidessettledforan ambiguous interim ayeementin exchange foraperiodofcalm. Hamas, though badlybatteml, remains in contml of Gaza with part ofits military arsenal intact.

Israel and Egyptwill maintain a blockade tightened seven years ago, despite Hamas' long-runningdemand that the border restriclions be lifted.

Early Wednesday the Israeli military said there were no reports of violations since the cease-fire went into effect at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Hamas declared victory, even though it had little to show for a war that killed 2,143 Palestinians, wounded more than 11,000 and left some 100,000 homeless. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and six civilians were killed, including two by Palestinian mortar fire shortly before the cease-fire was announced.

Even as Liberia has resortedto stringent measures to try to halt Ebola's spread, frustration mounted over the slow collection ofbodies from neighborhoods of Monrovia.

A groupofresidents attached plastic ties to the wrists and ankles of one suspected Ebola victim and dragged his corpse to a busy street.

Authorities have decreed that all the dead must be collected by government health workers and cremated becausecontactw ith bodies can transmit the virus.

a U.S. official has said.

Investigators were aware that Douglas McAuthur McCain was in the country to fight with the militant group, but they did not yet have his body and were still trying to verify information about his death, the official said on Tuesday. The official was not authorized to discuss by name an ongoing investigation and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

A relative, Kenneth McCain, told The Associated Press that the State Department had called to tell his family that Douglas McCain had been killed in Syria.eWe do not know ifhe was fighting anyone," he said.

U.S. officials, concerned

about what they say is the growing threat posed by the extremist Islamic State group, say surveillance flights and spy planes have begun over Syria on the orders of President Barack Obama. The m ove could pave theway for airstrikes against the youp, which controls a large part of eastern Syria and crossed into Iraq earlier this year. The militant group also killed an American, journalist James Foley, and is holding an American woman hostage.

It was unclear when McCain, who had most recently lived in San Diego, traveled to Syria. He grew up outside Minneapolis in the town of New Hope.

Staffchanges at Health Center For the past several months, Northeast Oregon Area Health Education Center has been in a state of transition which has resulted in some staff changes inside the organization.

"In January, our executive director Amy Dunkak, was offered a six-month contract with Oregon Health and Science University to help Provost Jeanette Mladenovic developthe concept ofan interprofessional rural campus," said Bill Finney, board chair for NEOAHEC. On July 23, Dunkak, accepted the position of Interim Deputy Director of Oregon AHEC under the direction of Dr. David Robinson, OHSU's interim director and executive vice provost. Dunkak's work will be divided among the OHSU Rural Campus and with Oregon AHECs to further their mission.

Bartell purchased Bubbles in 1999, severalyears afteritwasestablished.

"It just took money to start," he said. "It's a stable business everyone needs."

Bartell has two employees besides himself running the business.

In 2009, Bartell took his first step in cutting his energy costs and embracing his green side by installing electric solar panels.

The cost for the system was approximately $18,000 and will pay for itself in seven years, he said.

Bartell, who installed solar panels on his own home and who owns two electric cars he and his wife drive regularly, wanted to be more energy efficient.

Bartell estimates he saves $50 per month on electricity with the solar panels.

The much bigger savings, and better investment, said Bartell, was the installation of thehot water solarpanelsin 2010.

Plus, with the additional incentivesthe federal government paying for 30 percent of the electric solar panel installation and the state paying for 30 percent, plus

Union County adding $2,000 — "it helped justify it," Bartell said.

Two-thirds of the system was paid for by the incentives, he said.

Bartell said the hot water installation

has saved him, on average, $300 to $350 per month.

"Hot water was by the far the best investment," he said.

Taking stock of your position as a leader In good times and more challenging times, owners have to stand for something.

Employees, clients, vendors and others look to the owner, the leader,to serve asan example to follow.

The endofsummer and the start of the school year make it an appropriate time toreview and renew the personal and professional commitments as the organizatio n'sleader.

Here are the five commitments a leader needs to make to and forthemselves aswellas tothe peoplethey areresponsible for.

The first is continuous learning. Owners must be open, will-

ing and ready tobecome better.

It can't simply be lip service; it is essential to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

This is done by becoming betterattheprimary responsibility, leadership, by being open to new ideas and concepts, to being coached by others, and to lead by example.

Someone who has a closed mind, who believes that they already know all that is impor-

•000

tant,isnota leaderthatisgoing to take any organization far.

The responsibility ofleadership means that the man or woman at the top should be requiring the same commitment of growth from their employees.

The second is to actually lead.

The wisest leaders understand that they would never ask their subordinates to do something that they would not be willing to do themselves.

Consider how General MacArthur led the United Nations military forces during the Korean War. MacArthur never spent the night on the Korean Peninsula,

returning to his own warm and comfortable bed in Tokyo. During the invasion at Inchon, he slept aboard a ship, safely harbored.

Contrast that with how his soldiers fought and slept, if they were fortunate enough to actually sleep, in bitter cold on frozen ground during the winter.

The third is to have a clear vision. People who work in organization want to know "where are we headed and what is our goal" and it is the responsibility of the leaderto determine the goaland to regularly communicate progress towards it.

Bartell said with the amount of renewable energy in this region, there's so many diferent options for going green.

'You're saving money and able to keep that money in the community," he said.

The solar systems require littl e to no upkeep exceptfor the occasional wash of the panels, he said.

"No working is required, just the savings," he said.

Continued from Page 1B If there is no goal, what is the future? Why toil to uncertainty except for a paycheck; does that create loyalty or engagement?

Fourth is constant outbound communication. The leader cannot hide behind the desk, in an isolated oSce. It is not enough to be visible; communication must be consistent, honest and informative.

Fifth is to ask and listen. Quit telling. It is far better to ask what people think. What people need; what people want.

The leader is usually the most removed from clients, suppliers and employees and so seeking opinions is critical to learning and for making substantive change.

Many leaders hear but they don't listen. Make the commitm ent to become a betterlistener.

When it comes to commitments, people should know what you stand for. They should also know what you won't stand for.

Don't let people guess or determine this on their own based upon your mood or what day of the week it is.

You are far more likely to meet anykind of forc e orchallenge head-on ratherthan to avoid it, skirt it or bow to it in any way. What you have going for you, besides the strength ofyourw(ll and a strong, forceful personality, is the ability to anticipate what might be around the next corner with uncanny accuracy. It is almost as ifyou are able to seeinto the future at times! You cancombine strength with circumspection and foresight in order to make the most out of every situation — and avoid those that are patently bad!

sign a key US. security agreement, all American forces will be withdrawn at the end of this year. Such a withdrawal would disrupt ongoing U.S. efforts to advise and equip the Afghan military. And it could demoralize the Afghan forces and fuel the Taliban's fight.

Campbell agrees that the political disarray may have an impact on the Afghan fighting force. In an interview at his headquarters Tuesday, he said he planned to evaluate what impact the election stalemate has had on the military transition and the effort to draw down and redistribute the U.S. forces. He said he wanted to determine whether the politicalproblems have delayed the Afghans'progress and if any adjustments must be made.

Others suggest that even if the politics settle down and the agreementis signed, Campbell would still face some difficult challenges, including a troop withdrawal plan outlined by President Barack Obama.

James Stavridis, former top NATO commander and the dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, said Campbell will have to maintain the confidence of the Afghan security forces during the transition, ensuring that the Taliban doesn't establish afoothold.

"So much of a fighting force's capability derives from their confidence — their confidence in their equipment, in their leaders, in their logistics, in their national leadership," Stavridis said.

"And that confidence will be challenged because of the departure of U.S. forces."

KABUL,Afghanistan — Afghanistan's election stalemate this summer hurt progress in training the country's military, and resolving the political chaos will be key to that military's success in 2015, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford said as he stepped down as the top U.S. — James Stavridis, former commander in Afghanistan. top NATO Commander The Taliban will test the Afghan forces next year with an onslaught of fighters and attacks, hoping to capitalize on the dwindling U.S. and co- 'They were looking for a place alition troops in the country, to actually get a psychologiDunford said Tuesday. cal victory to reinforce ... the Shortly after he passed the pessimism that followed the flag to his successor, Army second round of elections."
