Lt. Col. Brian Dean, right, of Salem, the commander of Eastern Oregon's Army Guard unit, the 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment, discusses a battle plan for a hasty defense with Maj. J.W. Lundell, of La Grande, at the NationalTraining Center, Fort lrwin, California, last month.

• 3rd Battalion commander takes calculated risk during August training in California By Pat Caldwell ForThe Observer

FORT IRWIN, California — The moment of truth for Lt. Col. Brian Dean appeared inside a cone of darkness on a desolatepiece ofground on the Mojave Desert. The former La Grande resident and commander of Eastern Oregon's largest OregonArmy Guard unit,the 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment, suddenly faced a dilemma in mid-August. He was hip-deep in one of the first big simulated battle tests at the U.S. Army's National Training Center, a sprawling and desolatestretch ofM ojave Desert. His orders were clear yet, in typical Army

practice, sufficiently open-ended to allow for modification. He faced an array of alternatives and safe choices but in the end he decided to take a risk. That day the 3rd Battalion stood at the point of a massive modern American spearofcombat power as itconducted what is known as a movement to contact. In essence, Dean's Cavalry battalionconsisting of Army Guard units from across Oregon — was to move out over the desert until it ran into the fictional enemy.The opposing forceor OPFOR in this case was members of the U.S. Army's 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, an elite unit designed to test other Army and Guard combat outfits to the breaking

point. In the scenario, the 500-plus members ofthe 3rd Battalion were ordered to start from a wadi complex — a dry, desert ravine — and move until it met the enemy. The operation was to be the first major test of the battalion. As the lead element of Idaho's 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, Dean said he understood that how the battalion performed in the test would set the tone for the next 12 days on the desert. Suddenly a lot was at stake for the part-time citizen-soldiers from Eastern Oregon. Dean sized up the landscape and said he didn't like what he saw. SeeDean / Page 5A

Aided by rain and the Oregon NationalGuard, firefi ghtersmade headway against the 74,496-acre Grizzly Bear Complex fires in Northeast Oregon and Southeast Washington on Tuesday. The fires are now 23 percent contained, up from 20 percent on Monday. 'The weather was in our favor. It was hot and dry but that was negated by the precipitation we received," said Tom Lavagnino, a public information officer for the Grizzly Bear Complex fires. A totalof1,056 people are now assigned to the fires, including 305 from the National Guard, at least 155 of which are from the Oregon National Guard. The soldiers did mopup work,freeing firefighters to take on other tasks. SeeFires / Page 5A

The news continues to get better on the Eagle Complex fires front Firefighters have made so much progress in recent days that it was announced Tuesday by the WallowaWhitman National Forest that the closure area in the vicinity of the fires is being reduced. Page 2A

• Eagle Complex fires now 60

percent contained By Dick Mason

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT

The Observer

On September 2, 1945, Japan formally surrendered in ceremonies aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, ending World War II.

The news continues to get better on the Eagle Complex fires front. Firefighters have made so much progress in recent days that it was announced Tuesday by the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest that the closure area in the vicinity of the fires is being reduced. This is a credit to the efforts of firefighters, aided by better weather conditions. 'The weather has helped a lot.Ithasbeen coolerand the humidity has been higher. We received a tenth of an inch of rain on Sunday," said Kathy Arnoldus, a public information officer for the Eagle Complex fires. Specific information on the areaaffected by theclosure reduction is available online at wwwinciweb.nwcg.gov. The Eagle Complex fires are now 60 percent contained. This is up significantly from Friday when they were only 25 percent contained. The fires, though, are alongway from being extinguished. 'Things are looking good, but there is still a lot of work to do,"Arnoldus said. Improving fire containment means that the 21 residential structures and 30 minor structures in the EagleComplex fi resarea are in much less peril than they have been since the fires started two weeks ago. Only one structure has been lostto the Eagle Complex fires, reflecting the priority firefightershave placed on protecting structures. The Eagle Complex fires are now being fought by a Type 3 Interagency Incident ManagementTeam. The Type 3 team is significantly smaller than the Type 2 team it replaced on Monday. About 140 people are now on the fire, down from 315 on Sunday. The Type 3 team is based at the Lily White field station near Eagle Creek. The Type 2 team was based at a site 16 miles southeast of Union along Highway 203 most of the time it was combatting the Eagle Complex blazes. The EagleComplex fi res were started by lightning on Aug. 10.

ON THIS DATE In 1666, the Great Fire of London broke out. In 1789, the United States Treasury Department was established. In 1864, during the Civi)War, Union Gen. William T. Sherman's forces occupied Atlanta. In 1901, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt offered the advice, "Speak softly and carry a big stick" in a speech at the Minnesota State Fair. In 1935, a Labor Day hurricane slammed into the Florida Keys, claiming more than 400 lives. In 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam an independent republic. (Ho died on this date in 1969.) In 1963, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace prevented the integration ofTuskegee High School by encircling the building with state troopers. In 1969, in what some regard as the birth of the Internet, two connected computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, passed test data through a 15-foot cable. In 1972, Dave Wottle of the United States won the men's 800-meter race at the Munich Summer Olympics. In 1986, a judge in Los Angeles sentenced Cathy Evelyn Smith to three years in prison for involuntary manslaughter for her role in the 1982 drug overdose death of comedian John Belushi. (Smith served 18 months.) In 1998, a Swissair MD-11 jetliner crashed off Nova Scotia, killing all 229 people aboard.

W hat do you think?

The Adams Avenue building that last housed Mt. EmilyAle House has been sold to Community Bank following a foreclosure. Mt. Emily Ale House and owner Gerold "Jerry" Grant are named as defendants in foreclosure documents filed in Union County Circuit Court. On June 17, following a judgment against the ale house, 1202 Adams Ave., a writ of execution for the sale of the property was issued to the Union County SherifFs 0$ce, according to court documents.

$220,000. A notice posted on the property following the sale states that Grant may have a right to buy back the property by paying the purchaser the amount paid at sale plus taxes, ex-

penses and interest. That right ends Feb. 9, 2016, on which date the sheriff will give a deed to the purchaser,the notice says. Grant, who closed his brewpub in November 2013, could not be reached for comment about the foreclosure. A phone number for Grant listed in court documents dated earlier this year has been disconnected. When closing his business, Grant told The Observer he was leaving the area to be with his wife. He also cited a tumultuous relationship with the city and La Grande Main Street as reasons for leaving. The building was listed for sale shortly after the business closed.

LA GRANDE CITY COUNCIL

Fiscal committeelooking atrevenue options • Franchise fees, gas tax among ideas discussed By Kelly Ducote The Observer

Members of the La Grande Fiscal Committee would rather work to build revenue than make cuts to cityservices asthey address the city's general fund declining ending fund balance. In aMonday night work session, committee members expressed that although trimming the budget and running the city efficientlyis important, finding ways to increase revenue should be a priority. "I would point out that over the last12yearsor so I've been on the council, the primary focus has been on cost cutting," said City Councilor Gary Lillard.'We have cut a lot of costs. This is probably the first time we've really looked at revenue seriously." Committee member Corrine Dutto agreed. awe've already made

maintenance. We have made cuts in lots of diferent areas so I think we need to look at other ends." Revenue raising options discussed Mondayinduded an under levy of the Urban Renewal District and increasingfranchise fees. An UR under levy means the district would not collect the full increment tax amounts from affected tax districts, induding the city. According to city estimates, an under levy could bringmore than $100,000 to the city's general fund. The city is already working on franchise fees. City Manager Robert Strope said the city intends to raise franchise fees for electricity and natural gas from 5 percent to 7 percent. The city's agreement with Oregon Trail Electric is set to expire at the end of the calendar year, Strope said, so ideally a new agreement with the higher fee could be imple-

mented then. Strope said the natural gas agreement issetto increase asthe electricity franchise fee increases. The city estimates the fee increases would bring in an

additional $250,000 a year. The La Grande Fiscal Committee is looking into several other funding sources, including a public safety utility fee, a library user fee and a gas tax. The city estimatesa three-cent per gallon gas tax would bring

in an additional $400,000 a year, although those funds would have to be earmarked forcity roads,asperthe Oregon constitution. The committee on Monday also raised the concept of a new fire district, although the idea, if pursued, would take a couple years — and a vote of those within said district — to come to fruition. The committee also discusseda coupleofthe city's needs, namely an IT

ONicialsvoicesuiiiiort Saturday auction to benefit Fire victims for EastSregonmine WILDFIRES

planned at Eastern Oregon Universi Observer staff

Eastern Oregon University is hosting an auction to help raise money for residents who have been affected by the wildfires. From 4p.m.to 7 p.m .on Saturday at the Gilbert Center at EOU, a public auction will be held to help the victims, accordingto a pressreleasefrom the university. Valerie Purnell-Kandle, Elgin, is organizing the event with help from Chris Cronin, region director for EOU's Grant County Center in John Day, and Dixie Lund, retired interim EOU president and current governing board trustee. 'There's been a tremendous outpouring of support for Grant County," Purnell-

Kandle said,"but families in Troy and other areas need help too, and unfortunately not all of them are getting it." Purnell-Kandle, who previously attended EOU and is a former employee, grew up in the John Day area. She said she personally knows many of the families impacted by the Canyon Creek Complex fire, which has destroyed 43 residences and consumed 101,465 acres since Aug. 12. At least five residences have been reported lost in Troy, where the Grizzly Bear Complex is burning more than 74,000 acres. By holding the auction in La Grande, Purnell-Kandle hopes to engage more organizations and individuals in the

relief efforts for these communities. Approximately 75 businesses have already contributeditems or giftcertificatesfor the auction, and the university is donating the use of the Gilbert Center. The live auction begins at 6 p.m. and a silent auction will be ongoing throughout the event. Funds raised will benefit all eastern Oregon fire victims who have lost their homes and livelihoods, particularly those in Grant, Baker and Wallowa counties. Tax-deductible cash donations are also being accepted by Emergency Equipment Solution in Burns. Contact Jeflrey Cotton with EES at 541-5736139 orPurnell-Kandle at541-663-6050 for more information on how to donate.

ONTARIO — City and county officials came out solidly in support of the goldmine proposed in Malheur County by Calico Resources during a public meeting at Four Rivers Cultural Center Tuesday. Calico Resources has amendeditsproposalto change the location of the oreprocessing,taIlmgs managementand administration building from private land to federal land, eliminating the need for a

haul road from the mine to those facilities. The proposed mine is located about 25 miles south of Vale.

Editorial from The Bend Bulletin:

In 2006,the secretary ofstate's of. fice issued an audit. It warned about the security risks at Oregon's state data center, where much private information of Oregonians is stored. In 2008, the of.fice issued another audit, a confidential audit and a consultant report. More warnings. In 2009, it issued another audit and a confidential audit. Warnings again. In 2010, there were three more audits with more warnings. In 2012, two more and more warnings. And now in 2015, there's another. The state data centerhasfailed tofix the problems. Why does that matter? The state data include sensitivetaxpayer information, including medical records, Social Security numbers and information about payments and collections. The data could be stolen, altered ordestroyed because oflax security. Of course, no data storage is completely secure. Individuals, businesses and governments get hacked. It can disrupt or ruin finances and lives. Of.ficials at the state data center know that. And theyhave had theadvantage ofknowing they have serious security problems, but they have not fixed them. They have a response to the most recent audit: They say they are working on it. They have said that before. Why do they treat the private records of Oregonians with so little care? Is this good enough for you? Tell your legislator what you think. Maybe they can get the state to finally do something about it. •

MYVOICE

ivin vets w at S

everal times a year, I have the privilege of greeting World War II veterans who travel to Washington, D.C. to see their memorial on the National Mall as part of the Honor Flight program. Thesebrave men and women foughtto protectourfreedom and defeat tyranny. In the words of General John Pershing, the commander of American forces in World War I, "time will not dim the glory of their deeds." He was right. Time will not dim the glory of their deeds. This holds true for all of America's veterans, from World War II and Korea to Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. We as a nation owe our freedom to the men and women who have served in uniform. But too often, the Department of Veterans Affairs and other arms of the federalgovernment have failed our veterans. That's why I'm working hard to pass legislation and cut through red tapetoimprove health care forveterans and active duty military, help them ind jobs when they return home, and f increase accountability and transparency at the VA. One of the very first laws passed by Congress this year was the Clay Hunt SAVAct, which seeks to combat the terrible plague of veteran suicides. The law would help ensure that the VA's mental health and suicide prevention efforts receive independent, third party oversight. And also, it helps to improve accounting of available mental health services while implementing a better, community-basedapproach todelivering suicide prevention services.

Last year, Congress passed a law requiring the establishment of a new 'Veterans Choice" program to help rural veteransget carefrom private providers. This was a good step, but the rollout of the new program has hit some speed bumps along the way. For example, the law that created the Choice program says that a veteran living more than 40 miles from a VA medical facility may go outside the system for care. Originally, the agency had calculated that 40 mile distance"as the crow flies" insteadofthedistance ittook to drive there. That didn't make sense to me or many veterans I heard from in Oregon. So we passed a law to make it clear that 40 miles is defined by how far a veteran needs to drive for care. This will help veterans get the appro-

es e r ve

priate care they need in the communities where they live. It's not just enough to make sure veterans have health care. They need jobs too. In July, the President signed into law the"Hire More Heroes Act," which will exempt veterans enrolled in health care provided by the VA or TRICARE from being counted as part of the 50 fulltime employee threshold for purposes of the employer mandate in Obamacare. This ensures that employers aren't penalized for hiring veterans under the health law's mandates. We also passed a new law to allow all veteransto geta specialID card from the VA as proof of veteran status, eliminating the need to carry and use their official military discharge papers. And the House has passed plans to increase funding for veterans programs, recoup bonuses from poorly performing VA executives who received them based on false claims, and allow the VA greater authority to remove employees if they aren't up to the job. The Senate should act on these bills right away. I have two veterans on staff who assist Oregonians with problems at the VA, andI've already assisted over 5,000 veterans and their families. If you or a loved one needs help with the VA lor any other federal agency), please call my office tollfree from the541area code at

800-533-3303. I'll do everything I can to get results for you. And I'll keep working to make sure our veterans get the care and benefits they've earned through their service.

The deployment to the National Training Center was not an ordinary training episode. The NTC is considered the premier facility in the United States for preparing U.S. Army and Guard combat units for war, Dean said. The conditions are extremely harsh, and during the threeweek stint the battalion foughta seriesofsim ulated battles. The battalion faced the bestopposition force— or OPFOR in Army jargon — in the world, he said. The OPFOR, consisting of the storied 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, works to test a combat unit to the limit during a deployment to the NTC. Every element of the 3rd Battalion was appraised during the three-week exercise where various scenarios aredesigned to replicate,as much as possible, actual combat conditions. The battalion maneuvered across a vast sectionofthe Mo jave Desert in severe conditions and under constant pressure &om the 11th Armored Cavalry. Dean said the deployment by the battalion to NTC was significant and meaningful with subtle implications for the future. "Our performance sends many messages. To the communities we live in and serve, it sends the message your Guardsmen and women are smart, flexible, adaptive and perform well under pressure. That they can operate in the harshest environment to fight and win," he said.'To the National Guard, our performance says that a Guard armored brigade combat team is a viable, functional and lethal

The climate at the NTC is grim.

Yet, Dean said, the battalionprospered,setting the stage for success early on. The 3rd Battalion was just one of a number of citizensoldier combat units on hand for the deployment. The 3rd Battalion journeyed to the NTC as part of Idaho's 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team. The 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team consists of Guard units &om Montana, Idaho and Oregon.

Also, several Oregon Guard units — including a Military Police unit &om Milton-Freewater — participated in the training event. The 3rd Battalion — which consists of Guard units &om Woodburn, Hood River, The Dalles, Hermiston, Pendleton, La Grande, Baker City and Ontario — fought a series of mock battles against the OP-

"The testament for us was thatoursoldierswere soprofessionaland clearly ready toreacttocontactthatthe OPFOR stayed away &om our formations," he said."The OPFOR neverpenetrated our lines.

Concept design rendering by Diego Davila

The site plan for the seven new classrooms that will be built at Island City Elementary School calls for them to be constructed along the west and south sides of the school. The classrooms will be connected to the school.

PLANS Continued from Page1A School district plans calls forthree kindergarten classrooms to be built on the west sideoftheschooland fourfor studentsin grades 1-5 to be built along the south side of the school. The new rooms will all be connected to the main school building and directly connected tothe elementary school's classroom complex. La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze likes the site plan because it will allow all classrooms at Island City Elementary to be in one place. 'This will boost security," Glaze said. The kindergarten rooms, which are larger than regular classrooms, will give Island City Elementary the

space needed to house a fullday kindergarten program. The school district is offering full-day kindergarten for the first time this school year after offering a half-day program since 1989. Students in the Island City Elementary attendance area will attend kindergarten at Willow Elementary until the new kindergarten classrooms are built. Construction will startin April2016 and should be complete eight months later, Glaze said. The four regular classrooms will replace two modulars at Island City Elementary that have a total offour classrooms. Glaze believes replacing the modulars will benefit students. "The classrooms will providea betterlearning environment," the superintendent said.

Glaze noted that unlike the modulars, classrooms have windows, providebetter aircirculation and are more solidly built. "A regular stick-built classroom provides an environment which is far above that of amodular,"Glaze said. Island City Elementary School Principal John Tolan approvesofthe site design because it will wrap classrooms around the west and southsides ofthe grade school. "It will enhance our current building structure," Tolan said. The site plans for Island City's future new classrooms were recommended by the school district's Island City Elementary School Site Development Committee, which iscomprisedofparents, teachers and school board members.

'This allowed firefighterstodo thetype ofwork, which requires more experience," Lavagnino said. The fire continued to move upthe Wenaha River drainage on Tuesday. A containment line, Forest Road 64, is being improved as the fire moves toward it. The Grizzly Bear Complex fires acreage is now equally split between Northeast Oregon and SoutheastWashington, Lavagnino said. Much of the Grizzly Bear Complex fires are still burning in the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. Fighting fires in wilderness areas is particularly challenging because a limited number of roads impedes accessibility to the area, Lavagnino said. Another drawback is the use of mechanical firefighting equipment is discouraged in wilderness areas. Dozers are not being used to dig containment lines in the Wenaha-TucannonWilderness as a result.

'They are being dug by hand iin the wilderness area)," Lavagnino said. Some dozers are being used to dig containment lines outside the WenahaTucannon Wilderness to prevent fire spreading once it leaves the wilderness. Much ofthe mop up work done Tuesday was on the southern flank of the fire.

Six transport vehicles carry Oregon National Guard members out of fire camp Monday in Elgin to their work on the Grizzly Bear Complex fires in Wallowa County. Crews mopping up examine soil and organic debris for hot spots. They also expose any burning material and soak the embers with water or smother and mix the smoldering vegetation withdirt,according to a joint press release &om the Umatilla National Forest, the Washington State Department of Resources and the Oregon Department of Forestry. Due to improved containment and moderation of the weather, the evacuation levels in place to the south and east of the Grizzly Bear Complexfi reshave decreased. There are no longer any areas under a Level 3 evacuation, one which requires people to leave immediately. The Troy, Grouse Flat and

The main objective on this first test was a setofterrain featureswith distinctive names such as the Iron Triangle, Hill 800 and Mouse Gardens. Dean's gamble was precise and managed an array of factors — including risk — at once. "I directed my units to bypass the wadis and roll through without stopping," he said. Instead of fighting each component of the enemy, Dean told his commanders to go for broketogettotheobjective and bypass minor centers ofresistance.Once the objective was reached, Dean ordered his battalion to setup a defensiveperimeter and forcethe enemy to attack. "A hasty defense would allow the enemy to fight at a disadvantage," he said. There is a well-known military adage that even the best plan never survives the first encounter with the enemy, and on this day the axiom proved true.

To date, 33 structures have been lost, including five primary residences. The Type 2 Interagency Incident Management Team assigned to the fire has its command post in Elgin and about five spike camps, including two, Troy and Fry Meadow, which are in Wallowa County. The Southwest Washington camps include ones in Dayton, Bluewood, Godman and Midway areas. Spike camps are situated so that they put firefighters in a position where they can betteraccessthefires.

Dean's gamble paid ofE and the wager set the tone for success. ''When the OPFOR began to die in large number in &ont of my tanks, the tide of battle and my personal concerns subsided," he said. The early successignited adeep riverof self-assuranceinside the battalion,he said. "It was instant confidence across the board. We had great success with only half the plan being executed. That is when I knew we were going to do great," he said. "Doing great" at the National Training Center is not a simple procedure. The NTC is configured to test visiting U.S. Army and Army Guard units in every way possible in the most difficult conditions imaginable. In short, a deployment to the NTC is a doubleedged sword for military units. On one hand, it gives outfits like the 3rd Battalion the opportunitytobetested by thebestopposing force in the world. On the other hand, the stakes — especially for a Guard combat unit — are extremely high in terms of establishing therelevance ofpart-time warriors. Dean admitted the conditions at NTC are very difficult. "Fort Irwin is located in the southern desert of California. When we were training the average temperature was 106 with 80 degree lows. We also hit the moon cycle so that we operated the majority of our operations with zero or very low illumination," he sard.

The Eastern Oregon University women's soccer team passed a huge early-season test, stormingbackkom a firsthalf goal deficit to win 3-2 over Menlo iCalifornial University Tuesdayin a nonconference matchinAtherlon, California. At the 88:51mark of the match, Eastern forward Maddi Cillaypunched in the gamewinning goal off an assistkom forward Crystal Schuder to give the Mountaineers the victory over a team that went to the 2014NAIA national championships. The Mounties made the initial strike earlyin the first half when Schuder scored in the fourth minute off an assist kom midfielder Makensie Forsyth. But Menlo would retake the momentum with a pairofgoalsin lessthan 10 minutes, taking the 2-1 lead into halftime. Eastern forward Zoe Anderson brought the score back to a tie in the 63rd minute in the second half with her goal, which was assisted by Schuderand midfielderKendall Loreth.

From the outside, the outlook may be promising for the Union/Cove girls and boys cross country teams this fall. But for head coach Steve Sheehy, every team is equal at the outset of the season. ''We've had some really good runs over the last four years," Sheehy said. 'Those years have been magical, but I never try to put any expectations on my teams. Things change kom year to year. I think both teams are going to be very good, but the question is how good will they be and who else will step up?" That approach has led to a spectacular run for Union/Cove, especially on the girlsside.The Bobcat girlshave won the past four Class 3A/2A/1A state championships, including a one point victory over St.M ary'slastyeari58-59l. Sheehy said it's not a huge secret why they've been so good. "This team really works hard for the success that they've had," he said of the runners' offseasons."There's no hiding in distance running. You pretty much get exposed quickly if you haven't done the work you need to."

DEAR KEN: Recently you addressed an issue an owner had with the summer dress code. My two issues are similar related to my outside sales team. The fi rst is what is the appropriate dress for outside salespeople calling on other business people? On any given sales call, my sales people are going to be in contact with gatekeepers and influencers and hopefully, with the decision-maker. Our prospects and clients can be wearing anything from Tshirts and shorts to suits and ties. I have not had any issues with how my people are now dressing for work, but I wonder ifI mandated a formal dress code ifit would improve how we are perceived by those who buy from us. The second question is about the vehicles that my sales team drives. The company provides a car allowance and the choices people make are what I would call sensible. But I fear that as the more successfulpeople earn larger bonuses, they will choose to drive far more expensive cars thanI would prefer. I wouldn't want an employee to drive up to a businessin a high end Mercedes or a fancy sports car. I don't want my sales people flouting their individual success to prospects and clients because of the resentment it may create. — RICKC. DEAR RICK C.: At the heart ofboth issues is how your sales team and by default, how your company, is perceived by your clients. The trend for years is for more casual clothing to be worn in business. It sounds like you have avoided that path. Last time I looked, See Keller / Page 2B

EATING FRESH WITH LOCAL • Producestands offerfruits,veggiestothosefartherfrom grocery stores By Kelly Ducote and Alyssa Sutton WesCom News Service

As producers wade into peak growingseason,it'sarearesidents who can taste the benefits. For those in larger cities like La Grande, Baker City and Enterprise, local farmers' markets offer weekly chances to taste homegrown fruits, vegetables and other offerings, but for those in the outskirts, coming by a bundle of squash or a box of tomatoes may be a little harder. That's why farmers like Nella Parks have stepped in with farm stands. Parks, who owns and operates Nella Mae's Farm with her mother, Catherine Parks, opened her stand on Antles Road in Cove this June. "It's open 24/7,even ifthe door is closed," said Nella Parks.

NUTMobile makes a La Grande pit stop

When does the stock market reach bear territory? inancial markets have been sharply declining the last few weeks. According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 are innegativeterritory for 2015. The article continues that while few investors expected outsize returns this year, the continued slowdown in China, which has previously been a major source of profit growth for many companies, concerns about interestrateincreases and large declines in commodity prices, may indicate weaker prices going forward.

Are we in a bear market? Entry into a bear market is defined as "a downturn of 20percent orm ore in multiple broad market indexes, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or Standard & Poor's 500 Index, over at least a two-month period," according to Investopedia. Using that definition and dataprovided by Google Finance, the DJIA and the S&P 500 are not yet in"bear territory" iasofAug.20l.

What causes a bear market? No one knows exactly, though many financial experts make note of the four-year cycle. There are actually two widely followed four-year cycles in the financial markets. One is the presidential cycle and the other is the Kitchin Cyclebased work done in 1923 by Harvard's Joseph Kitchin;

INVEST-IVISION MARCY HAINES both cycles often track very close together. The Kitchin Cycle simply states that the stock market makes a major low every four years or so. Ultimately, long-term market prices are driven by earnings of underlying companies. In a bear market, fear overshadows company fundamentals. In a bear market, many investors tend to forget about things like earnings, dividends and company profitability by throwing in the towel and selling. Selling isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact it is often a good thing. Itjustneeds tobe done via a method or discipline, not based on a knee jerk/fear reaction. I was recently talking to an individual who had a bad investment experience in the famous bear market of 1987. They invested in the summer of1987. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, according to The Motley Fool, was approximately 2,700. A few months later the infamous Black Monday crash occurred and the DJIA shot down to 1,738, in a violent but short bear market. It was a decline of 26 percent. Ouch. The individual saw their investment decline and sold near the bottom. Five years later the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at approximately 3,100 and 6,400 10 years later.

10 Rulesof Investing Wall Street veteran Bob

Farrell developed 10 enduring Rules of Investing over 50 years of investing in bull markets, bear markets, bubbles, crashes and dull markets: • Markets tend to return to the mean over time. • Excesses in one direction will lead to an opposite excess in the other direction. • There are no new eras; excesses are never permanent. • Exponential rapidly rising or falling markets usually go further than you think, but they do not correct by going sideways. • The public buys the most at the top and the leastatthe bottom. • Fear and greed are stronger than long-term resolve. •Marketsare strongest when they are broad and weakest when they narrow to a handful ofblue-chip names. • Bear markets have three stages — sharp down, reflexive rebound and a drawn-out fundamentaldowntrend. • When all the experts and forecastsagree — something elseisgoing tohappen. • Bull markets are more fun than bear markets. The 10 rules are powerful because they are based on Farrell's bird's-eye view of the financial markets — a very clear perspective. They are not meant to be hard and fast rules but tools to help you look beyond emotions and the headlines. Ponder them; have any applied to you? Put them in your investing toolbox and refer to them often.

BUSINESS 8 AG LIFE

Nella Parks began selling produce at the La Grande Farmers' Market as a kid. After studying environmental science and Spanish at Oregon State University and all grown up, she's still selling at the market and recently opened a farm stand at Nella Mae's Farm in Cove, a joint venture with her mom, Catherine Parks, who previously worked for the Forest Service. "She retired in December and just works all the time," Nella Parks said. After working in nonprofits, Nella Parks took the plunge into full-time farming about three years ago. "If you go to the farmers' market, there's no other growers my age," said Parks,30. She enjoys working for herself and spending time with her family while she does it. This summer, she was helped by her parents, and her boyfriend's daughter, Chloe. In addition to the company of family, Parks said networking with other producers brings in new friends and partners who she wants to see succeed aswell.That's why she helps other growers sell fruit, which Parks doesn't grow, at her farm stand. "I try to help other people sell their stuff," she said. — Kelly Ducote Platz Produce is open from 1p.m. to 7p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. Up in Wallowa County in Enterprise, those looking forproduce can fi nd 6 Ranch and Liza Jane's Farm Stand, which has been around for about six years. The stand is located at 87161 Highway 82.

than just produce," said Liza Jane Nichols. The stand sells veggies, duck and chicken eggs, honey, beef and homemade soaps. Several of the growers said they see themselves as part of a national trend to bring affordable, fresh food to those in their communities. "One thing I care about is that everyone can eat this food," Parks said.
