La Grande Middle School math teacher Cindy Patrick instructs a seventh-grade math class on Friday. The school district now has 2,241 students, up 63 from its total on Oct. 1, 2014.The student headcount is up three at the elementary school level, up 23 at La Grande Middle School and 42 at La Grande High School.

• La Grande School District sees 2.8 percent increase in enrollment over a year ago By Dick Mason The Observer

New doors, walls and windows are up in the La Grande School District — and so is enrollment. Enrollment is 2.8 percent higher than it was almost a year ago, the third straight year enrollment is up. "It is always encouraging to see school district numbers rising. It is a positive sign," said La Grande School Superintendent Larry Glaze. The school district now has 2,241 students, up 59 from its total on Oct. 1, 2014. The student headcount is up three at the elementary school level, up 23 at La Grande Middle School and 42 at La Grande High School. The news comes about three months after major renovation work funded by a $31.85million bond votersapproved in November has started in the school

district. Many new classroom doors, walls and windows have been added in the early stages of the bond funded work. Much of this year's enrollment jump has been fueled by transfer students. The school has 30 new transfer students and lost 10 students who transferred to other districts. "It is a healthy sign when other students want to come here," Glaze said. Glazesaid programs thatcould be attracting outside students to the district include a career pathways program that was started recently at LHS. The career-ori entated program provides students with uncommon job shadowing opportuniti es. Glazealso said the wealth ofopportunitiesstudents have toearn college credits while attending LHS may be another draw. LHS offers many dual high school and college credit classes while paying

significantly reduced tuition. "This is a real plus," Glaze said. LHS students earned 1,541 college credits through dual credit courses in 2014-15. The La Grande School District school district has a total of 1,062 students in kindergarten through fikh grade. Its biggestclassis atsecond grade,which has 196 students. The school district's smallest elementary school class is kindergarten, which has 148 students, down 14 from a year ago. "That is our biggest surprise. We have a smaller kindergarten class than we thought we would," Glaze said. La Grande Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8, now has 540 students, up 23 from a year ago, the school's highest total in a least nine years, said Brett Jackman, the school's See La Grande / Page5A

Though La Grande residents may expect city police offic ersto bepatrolling the city and making arrests, the reality is that officers spend a great deal of time in what some may consider an unlikely place — Grande Ronde Hospital. The officers aren't there because they are ill or injured. Rather, they are serving as security while mental health evaluations take place — sometimes sitting for hours or days awaiting an open bed in an Oregon psychiatric facility.

QUOTE OFTHE DAY "A heretic is a man who sees with his own eyes. " — Gotthold Lessing, German dramatist-critic

BAKER CITY — As expected, there will be a rate increase in the delivery of power services this fall. The Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative board ofdirectors approved an average rateincreaseof5.8 percent for all members at its Aug. 25 meeting, the company announced in a press release. For OTEC's more than 23,000residential members, the increase will

be 4.34 percent — or $3.94 — reflected in the monthly deliverycharge,increasing

"For the past eight years we have been extremely frugal in our costs unrelated to BPA power purchases," said George Galloway, OTEC's board president. 'This will be the first time in four years that a percentageofthe increase (2 percent) will be allocated to OTEC's operating expenses. Increases, relative to OTEC's operating expenses, have been passed through to itsmembership at arate of one-half ofa percent per year, farbelow therateof inflation."

According to the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Financial Corporation, OTEC's rates are some of the lowest in the country. In July, after a series of 145 separateratiosand being comparedagainst300 similar co-ops that borrow exclusively from CFC, OTEC ranked third for the lowest ratesin the state and 23rd forlowest ratesnationally. ''With BPA's announcement, paired with soft natural gas prices, and an estimated wildfire tab for damages of approximately

The residential kilowatt hour rate will remain the same. The increase is in response to a July decision by the Bonneville Power Adm inistration to a 7.1percent rateincrease forwholesale power and 4.4 percent for transmission. Both increases takeeffectOct.1.

$1.5 million, with little FEMA disaster assistance on the horizon, OTEC needs to cover its expenses to operate," Galloway said. "Comparatively, our charges forelectricservicehave been reasonable and highly competitive with our peers. We are hopeful that this will be our lastrate increase forat least the next two years."

Starting in 2010, the Bend Heroes Foundation has sponsored10 tripsto thenation's capital, providing free tripsto 240veterans to see the memorial erected in their honor. Yvonne Drury, vice president of the Bend Heroes Foundation, said her group believes it has contacted nearly every eligible veteran in Central and Eastern Oregon. After accounting for those who have made the tripbefore orare unableto travel, almost everyone with an interest in seeing the memorial has been offered an opportunity, she said. Drury said it was inevitable that the Honor Flights would come to an end. ''When you're dealing with a bunch of 90-year-olds, you're going to run out of people eventually," she said. The final flight will include about 15 Eastern and Central Oregon veterans, along with about 35 from the Portland area. Drury said the trip — two days of travel and two days in Washington, D.C.— will likely follow the same template used on prior trips. Veterans and their guests typically visit the World War II Memorial on their first day in town. This is followed by a trip to the Capitol to meet with members of Oregon's congressional delegation. On day two, they visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, memorial sites for the individual service branches, Arlington National Cemetery and on occasion, members of the group have laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Drury, who's made two more Honor Flights after joining her World War II veteran father on her first trip in 2011, said every visit to the memorial has been special. The veterans often assume most people have forgotten about the war they fought 70 years ago, she said, and are surprised by the crowds that line up to meet them atairportsor takepictures and shake their hands at the memorials. "Watching the reaction of these people, the honor that's bestowed on them by everybody they meet, it's absolutely amazing," she said.

ODFW plans to use rotenone at the nine ponds and lakes during the first half of October. The problem is the same at eachofthe 10sites,said Kyle Bratcher, an assistant fish biologist at ODFW's Enterprise oflice — illegallyintroduced fish have proliferated and to varying degrees have displaced the rainbow tmut that the agencystocksforsportanglers.

Keeping the 10 waterbodies closed to angling from Sept. 26 through the end of the year"gives us some flexibility in scheduling the treatments, and provides ample time for detoxification," said Tim Bailey, ODFW fish biologist in La Grande. The dosure also is a precautionary measure to keep the public kom harvesting fish that survive the treatment. "Even though rotenone is

Editorial from The (Eugene) Register-Guard:

Here's a question to chew on: What's an acceptable level of income inequality in Oregon? The question is particularly germane as the Oregon Legislature prepares to consider raising the state's minimum wage in its 2016 session. Proponents say pay has long dedined or stagnated for most Oregon workers, with low-wage employees hardest hit. Some argue that Oregon should follow the lead of Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities that have enacted minimum wages of$15 an hour. House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, is pushing a proposal to gradually raise Oregon's statewide minimum to$13 anhour by 2018 and give local governments the right to go higher. Low pay restrains growth, worsens inequality and requires taxpayers to foot the bill for public assistance. While the ideal wage level is widely disputed, it's clear that a struggling middle class and a dysfunctional underdass are socially and economically undesirable. Against that backdrop comes a new report on income distribution by the leR-leaning Oregon Center for Public Policy. Some of its key findings: • The annualincome ofthe average Oregonianhas sharply eroded in recent decades. In 2013, the medianin-

come was$32,537, about $141 lessthan in the inflationadjusted figure for 1980. During the same period, the income ofthe wealthiest 1percent of Oregonians has risen sharply. The average income ofthe state's top 1

percent in2013was$770,000,m orethan doublethe inflation-adjusted averageof $322,000 in 1980. • If income distribution ratios had remained unchanged since 1980, the median income for Orego-

nians would be $78,125. • Between 1980 and 2013, the lowest-earning bracket of Oregon workers has lost 30 percent of its share of statewide income. Meanwhile, those among the top 1 percent have seen an 88 percent rise in their share. • To be among the roughly 1,600 households that comprise Oregon's top 0.1 percent, an Oregon tax-

payer had to make $1.3 million in 2013. The average income of this group was$3.1 million that year. These figures show an increasingly divided Oregon, with steeplyrisingprosperity for a few and stagnation or dedine for the rest. How the Legislature should address income equalityis another debate — but the goal should be agrowing economywhose fruits are widely shared.

reflect larger risk of climate c ange e Pacific Northwest is burning. We've seen lives lost and homes destroyed. This is no"once-in-a-lifetime" event. This is our future. Oregon State Climatologist Kathy Dello says, "the Future is now."A widespread drought two years in the making set the stage for these fires and OSU researchers report the Northwest can expect"warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers." Regardless of our government's approach to managing federal timberlands, there is no question that its failure to address the international problem of carbon emissions and the resulting national problem of extreme weather events has contributed to our fire-ripe conditions. You can bail the boat, butit does no good ifyou don't plug the hole. Congress pretends that there are no economic and social costs to continued reliance on fossil fuels for our energy needs. Yet,it'srequired to approve disasterdeclarations and continues appropriating firefighting funds that have major iscalrepercussions.Disasterrelief f for extreme weather events lwildfires, floods) cost U.S. taxpayers more than $100 billion in 2012 — more than the federal government spent on transportation or education. As citizens, we bear the costs. Protesters hanging from bridges are not the only emissaries of this risky game. The Pentagon, in its 2014 Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap, states that the effects of climate change could leadtoacutefood and water shortages,

waves of destitute refugees and violent fights over dwindling natural resources — a likelihood that should be viewed as an immediate threat to U.S. national security. In fact, the U.S. Navy identifies climate change as the biggest long-term threat to security in the entire Pacific region. All major oil companies accept the science of climate change and anticipate an emissions reduction strategy. ExxonMobil and Shell assume the imposition of a carbon tax in their business forecasts. In a study released last week, banking giant Citigroup took an unbiased look at the economics of not acting on climate change and delivered staggering numbers — by 2060, failure to act will

impact GDP by $44 trillion.

Whomever you listen to, the action is clear. We need to transition to a clean energy economy as soon as possible. But, how do we do that without harming our economy? There's a simple and elegant solution. It increases our energy security, reduces our long-term national security risk and booststheeconomy. It'scalled "carbon fee and dividend," whereby a fee is assessedatthe wellhead,pipe,orm ine based on the extracted carbon content, is increased each year — and all the proceedsfrom thefee arereturned directly to the American people. This dividend isn't money for governments to spend.Itgoesinto taxpayers'pockets. Such a policy was studied by Regional Economic Modeling Inc, an econometric modeling firm specializing in analyzing the effects of tax policy. REMI estimates that the enormous stimulative effects of millions of people receiving dividend checks every month would result in 2.1 million more jobs nationally by 2025. Any plan to limit C02 emissions will penalize fossil fuel producers, but under this plan the overall economy will grow because every consumer's purchasing power will increase. The point is that reflecting the real costs — social and economic — into the price of fossil fuels will decrease their usage. And that also is a net plus — an estimated33 percentreduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2025 and 52 percent by 2035. A safer, less-scorched Oregon willbe nice, too.

Though Russell always hopes for a positive outcome, she, like the police, believesmental health crisesare becoming morefrequent in La Grande. "I think it's been busier in the last couple of years," she said, though she did not have numbers available. On a recent weekday, Russell found herself tied up in three serious incidentsatonce and had tocallcolleagues for backup. 'That was a lucky break," she said. A subject involved in one of those incidents was taken to the La Grande Police Department for questioning. There, the man proceeded to kick holes in the interview room and could not be interviewed by Russell for an evaluation. Violence and safety for mental health professionals can slow a crisis call from resolution, as can drug use. "It makes things 100 percent worse," Boucher said. For one, those under the influence cannotbe evaluated forhelp. Moreover, illicit drugs and alcohol can often exacerbate existing mental illness, said Chief Harvey. Those on medication to treat their mental illness sometimes feelbetterand stop taking themedication. Others quit because of adverse side effects. This often means police and CHD workers see repeat clients. H arveysaidpartoftheproblem comes from a societal misunderstanding of mental illness. 'They don't think of mental illness in the same way as physical disease," Harvey said.'This is going to be an ongoing thing, for the rest of their life." For Russell, the problem is rooted in a lack of resources. There's no homeless shelter or crisis respite in the region, she said. 'There's really nowhere for people to go in Eastern Oregon," she said. And mental health workers and police offi cerscannot hold peopleor compel them to get treatment simply because they have a mental illness.

• Birkmaier has been taking classes at ECSA since 2012 on safety and handling By Katherine Stickroth For the Observer

Under the auspices of the Eagle Cap Shooters Association in Wallowa County once a month an informal gathering of women shooters meet to hone their skills with firearms. Following the principles of The Well Armed Woman organization these local women practice shooting their pistols and rifles at the ECSA shooting range about 7 miles north of Enterprise. "Two girlfriends and I had this idea. We checked online and found The Well Armed Woman website, and decided we would meet regularly to support each other and shoot,"organizer Gina Birkmaier said. They beganmeeting in 2012 to have classes on personal safety and gun handling, with opportunitiestopractice attheEagle Cap Shooting Range. "The RangeSafety Officers, such as Kim Hutchison and Bob Jones, have been so willing to help us learntoshoot aswellas improve on the way we have been handling our firearms," Birkmaier said. At the recent September meeting, a storm had passed through earlier and left cold winds blowing over the hills of the shooting range. In spite of the chill, Jones gave instructions on the difference between a clip and a magazine as Birkmaier loaded her gun. The metal targetsreact to a hit in such a way as to immediately indicate a shooter's success or not. Once they were set up by Birkmaier's son Ethan and fellow shooter Jane Rushane, Birkmaier followed Bob's lessons on stance, holding the gun safely and aiming accurately. The ringing and the spin-

y husband was from Coos Bay, and throughout our marriage he had beggedthat we move to Oregon. I thought all of Oregon was like Coos Bay, its major downfall being next to the sea. Having survived many hurricanes while living in Mississippi, the most devastating being hurricanes Camille and Katrina, I wanted no part of oceanlif e and respectfully declined that idea. In 2007, Richard suggested we go on vacation to anywhere in Oregon. I agreed, as long as I could plan the trip. A Web search led me to Joseph andIfellin love with the scenes that reminded me so much of Lewistown, Montana. There, Richard and I had m et, married and lived for six years. When we later moved to Mississippi, not a day passedthat Ididn'tlong for those mountains and plains. Afterdriving across the country, we entered the valley where my eyes fell upon the Wallowas. I immediately knew I was home. That week spent touring the area, including Baker City, proved I could indeed live in Oregon. The Oregon Trail Interpretive Center was the final persuasion. Richard was a professional storyteller who recounted stories he had gleaned from thediaries ofpioneer women on that long trek. We headed home, inspiredby his dream tobe involved with that history organization. I would get mountains. Within five months, I gladly announced the last bill had been paid that freed us to move. But he said, "I don't know why, but my gut is saying now is not the time." The next month he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Twelve months later he was gone. Through all of that, and the dark months that followed, the Wallowa Mountains always loomed in the fog of my mind, as though calling, "Come." Ibegan tosee daylight four years later. My sons, Matthew and Sam, suggested I move close to them. I now wonder if they sensed my restlessness and wanted to keep an eye on me. Upon visiting them to consider such a move, two things became apparent: 1. They wanted to boss me around. 2. I could not control my urge to advise them on how to raise their children. They felt very comfortable declining my wisdom, thank you very much. With this useful information, I loaded my Trailblazer and headed West.

Middle hitter Emily Nay and outside hitter Amanda Miller both had a team-high nine kills for Eastern, with Nay leading the team with four blocks. Middle hitter Kendra De Hoog converted seven kills, and outside hitter Sierra Linke added five kills and three blocks. Eastern had a.319 kill percentage comparedtojusta .046 mark for the Wolves. Setter Rachelle Chamberlain paced the Mounties with 25 assists, and defensive specialists Tylo Colflesh, Holli Mullins and Piper Cantrell made eight

Against an overmatched opponent, No. 8 Eastern Oregon University treated Tuesday night's match like any other one. That led to a quick, dominating win in its Cascade Collegiate Conference home opener.

Out of the 15 players that hit the court, 13 received action in tw o setsor more. Live matches can't replace practice, so McLean-Morehead jumped at the chance to get the youngest Mounties some more experience.

Young La Grande runners have high hopes PREP CROSS COUNTRY

The 2015 edition of the La Grande cross country team is mostly young and lacks experience, but third-year head coach Alma Crow is excited to see what the team can do as the Tigershave one ofthelargestteams ever fielded by the school. "It's a big dealbecause we'venever had thesenumbers in La Grande cross country history," she said.aWe have never had this many kids out. I have a total of 21 kids out at the high school level." The girls field a much smaller team

with just five athletes and have to try to fill the shoes of former standout Amanda Welch. Heather Keniry and Abby Crews look to be the team leaders in the early going, especially after their showings in the opening meet last weekend at Hermiston, where they placedsecond and 15th,respectively. Though only a freshman, Crews actually enters with the most experience. "Abby raced at the middle school level but hadn't raced at high school," Crow said.

The boys team must also fill some big shoes in graduates Todd Keniry and Elliott Jonasson but have a bit more experience in their 16 runners, including Braden Crews, who Crow sees as a team leader. 'That kid can lead the kids anywhere," she said.'When I'm not around, I know I can count on him to lead the kids." Tony Clay, Nolan Clements and Keegan Dutto aTe also among the returners Crow will look to, along with newcomers Wyatt Perry, Clayton Smith, BennettWelch and Jacob Smith.

The growth of the athletes is one of the keys Crow said she will be paying attention to this fall. ' What I'm looking for is to see how they develop over the season, especially my new runners," she said. But despite the youth, she said she believes the talent is in place for the Tigers to contend in the Greater Oregon League. "I think we can do it. I don't see why not," she said."I have faith in my kids." She noted Ontario as the top boys contender and Mac-Hi as the team to contend with on the girls side.

The La Grande volleyball team dropped a tight backand-forth road battle with Pendleton Tuesday, losing in five sets 25-18, 19-25, 25-17, 21-25, 15-10. "I felt like we did a really nicejob oftrying to execute our game plan," Tigers head coach Melinda Becker-Bisenius said."Serve receivewise, we worked a lot on

that on practice. Defensively we were in better position to take the ball. We played better tonight. I think every game we've played we've gotten better." Erica Jimenez and Ari Rich led the offensive attack for the Tigers with nine and five kills, respectively. Kali Avila collected 22 assists and 17 digs while Katie Stone and McKenzie Tussey had

en I visit a team with a brand new coach, I can usually predict the feedbackI'llgetfrom the players."Practice has never been this tough,"aWe're actually a team this year," "I think Coach has made a huge difference," etc. It's not a bad thing — the optimism stemming from new regimes makes everything shiny and rosy. That's just the nature of coaching changes, and until the games are played, every player thinks a new coach equals more wins. So when I heard Eastern Oregon University women's soccerplayers giving me similarquotes beforethe season started, I took them with a grain of salt. Much like I did with the with the men's team, which is obviously in a whole different situation with anew program. But I heard comparable things from the Mountie men about how the team will surprise some people, how there's a lot of talent, etc. I didn't think either team was lying. I simply wanted to take a wait-and-see approach beforeItook a big swig ofthe Kool-Aid. But now? Count me as one who's hopping on SeeSoccer/Page 8A

As the summerfades to fall, La Grande frozen yogurt fans can look foncard to another transition Tropical Swirlz Frozen Yogurt is set to besold to the Maridell Center, said owners Boyd and Betty Rasmussen. The Rasmussens opened Tropical Swirlz in the spring of 2013 but announced last week they will close the current shop this month. cWe're happy with this place.

Boyd Rasmussen serves as Union County sheriff while his wife runs Horace Mann Insurance Co. in town and works as a substitute teacher. They also have six children. "They're keeping our name. They're keeping the whole business, just not here," Betty said. 'They're going to take it to the Maridell Center. It makes sense there."

DEAR MIKE R.: I often share with my clients that, as an owner, there are only four ways to permanently exit your business. The first option is to sell outright; you walk out of your company for the last time and the money someone paid you for the business is in your bank account. The second option is to be removed because you are no longer fit, mentally or otherwise, to own the company. This is what happened to Donald Sterling. The third option is that one morning you wake up and you announce your immediate retirement. It's the kind of call Queen Elizabeth will maybe make to Prince Charles someday. But Charles is nearly 67 and has been sitting by the phone since his mother turned 65. Are you going to have your son wait 24 years or longer for his call? The fourth option is to be wheeled out laying on a gurney with a white sheet covering you on a one way trip to the Coroner's Offrce.

Early Leaming Division

WesCom News Service

Licensed child care providers operating out of their own homes in Oregon are now facing unannounced visits from the state. And although some local providers feel state rules like these have become increasingly strict overtheyears,othersfeel unaffected by the change. The state's Early Learning Council approved the rule change from announced to unannounced visits earlier this year, according to Kathleen Hynes, legal and compliancedirectorfor the state's

Early Learning Division. Registered family child care, the licensing level affected by the change, has to be in the living quarters of the provider and can have up to 10 children in the home. The next level up, certified family child care providers, who are also usually in their own home but can care for more children, have to meet square footage minimums and require more training. Then there are certified centers, which are larger-scale child

care businesses. These other levels oflicensed child care already had unannounced visits. The change, Hynes said, "is an opportunity really to see how the providerisdoing and give some reassurance to parents." Some parents want their children in a home setting, as opposedtoa child care center. Because in-home care is smaller in scale, those businesses have fewer requirements, said Hynes, whose division is under the state Offrce of Child Care.

"It's really a trade-ofF and it's a preference," she said.cWe always have ongoing discussions on how to improve health and safety for Oregon's children." A number of Oregon child care providers see the sense in unannounced visits, even if they are a bit unnerving. Brandy Mills, 35, opened her business, Lollipop Kids Daycare, in 2007 in her home in northeast Bend. Since then, she said,cThe rules are getting stricter and stricter." "It is very stressful," Mills said, on knowing that a state inspector could be coming by for a monitoring visit any day. Mills, who usually cares for about six children, said she knows the state standards well but acknowledged she SeeChanges / Page 2B

• Self-taught baker dreams big with opening ofher own business

By Josh Lederman The Associated Press

By Michelle Bloker For WesCom News Service

ENTERPRISE — Eva Herold has been creating delicacies in her certified home kitchen for nearly three years — pies, cakes, scones, wedding delicacies and cupcakes. Herold was inspired to create delicacies since she was "very young," helping her mother prepare family dinner. She learned the art of desserts from her grandmother. "Gran began teaching me dessert baking when I was in the thirdgrade,"Herold said. That began her journey into culinary creativity of sweets. From then on, Herold was given the honor of preparing desserts fordinners,special events and potlucks. "It was a great opportunity to master the art ofbaking," Herold said. She recalled as ayoung girl attemptingtoredesign recipes without the understanding ofthesciencebehind dessert recipes. Herold has never been to culinary school. She is all "self taught,"creating all ofher edible art pieces fiom scratch. "I was not going to give up," she said. So in her home 25 minutes from Elgin, Herold began creating her own recipes with success. "I really got into the art, the design, the craft of the fine baking and making it beautiful," she said.

Michelle Bloker/Forwescom News Service

Eva Herold stands outside her business, SugarTime Bakery, at106W. Main St. in Enterprise. Herold is waiting for the final equipment in order to open the doors. Eva andherfamily moved to Wallowa County almost three years ago. eWe all went to a welcoming gathering with the other families that live in the complex. Of course I brought dessert," Herold said."Everyone was talking about how good it was. I told them that creating dessertswas a passion of mine and that I would love to have a business. They all encouraged me to get my home kitchen certified and start producing my craft for the community. I told them that I had looked into it in Boise, Idaho, and it was too much. I startedinvestigating how to get certified here through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. I found that I could do it. I talked to my mom about the prospectand told her that I just didn't know. Mom told me dream big."

Recently she took an online health and safety course through the state that included instruction on how infants should be placed in a crib. Mills said reviewing the rules reminded her of the specificity of the details: no cribbumpers,bottlesorpacifiers allowed. "Some of this stuff just isn't realistic," Mills said, who's also a mother of two."I don't mind rules to a certain extent." Hynes pointed out it was only about 15 years ago that the state began licensing registered family child care providers. Before that,she said, therewas justpaperwork — registration without inspection. "As you can imagine, there was some resistance to that all those years ago," Hynes sald. Kathy Wren, 55, owns Aunt Kathy's Daycare in her home in southwest Redmond. Right now she's watching six kids, some of whom are part time. Wren was a registered provider about 12 years ago beforeshe took time offto travel with her husband when he retired. "I was really surprised at how hard it is to get registered compared to 12 years ago,"Wren said, adding she's glad for the new rules if it

From her home culinary center, Herold has baked and createdspecialordersfor celebrati ons,birthdays and weddings.

able. "Iseethenecessity ofit," Wren said, and although it took her three months to get registered, she's glad she's back in business after her break."I really enjoy this. I love working with the kids. They're awesome." Lisa Mathis, 45,provides child care in her home in northwest Redmond, currently for eight children. She's been a provider for 22 years. "One of the things I'm finding, it's stufF that you might just get lackadaisical with," Mathis said, on things licensing specialists might

So Mathis picked up some window cling decorations. In southwest Bend, Jody Zahniser has been providing childcare for 10 years. But she doesn't feel an impact from the change because she was already enrolled in a USDA healthy food program, whose inspectors can stop by unannounced. Zahniser said her experience with the state's 0$ce of Child Care has been"very positive." "It's about teachable moments, it's not about anything that's trying to be negative, or anything like

that," Zahniser said. Hynes, with the state, also said she believes licensing specialistsaren'toutto condemn. 'They're coming out to find them doing things right," Hynes said, adding the inspectors realize registered family child care providers live where they work."The No. 1 is safety of children." Hynes said she heard in community forums before the rule change that some child careproviders looked atthe idea of unannounced visits as a way of proving to parents they consistently offer care thatmeets state standards in a home setting. "It's another way to tell parents they're providing quality care," Hynes said.

BOSTON — Courting unions on Labor Day, President Barack Obama denounced Republicans for a"constant attack on working Americans" and said he was using his executivepower toforcefederal contractors to give paid sick leave to their employees. Obama was met with resounding applause at a major union rally and breakfast in Boston on Monday when he said he had signed the executive order aboard Air Force One as he flew in to mark Labor Day. He said Republicans who claim the mantle of m iddle-cl assprotectorsare talking big, but they"have to walk the walk." Obama satd opponents of his economic policies "won't letfactsor evidence getin their way." 'You~ust watt, you look up at the sky and prosperity will come raining down onus from the top of whatever high-rise in New York City," he said sarcastically."But that's not how the economy works." He added that the GOPs mindset has been"wrecking the economy for a long, long time." The Labor Day gesture to workers' groups came as Obama works to smooth over tensions with the labor movement over his trade agenda. Major unions are opposing Obama's push for sweeping new trade deals with Asia and Europe, with some threatening to work against Democrats who votedtosupportthose talks in Congress. Unions have warned that the deals could lead tothe widespread job elimination. Obama has signed a law providing money to retrain workers if their jobs get shipped overseas. Under the executive order, employees working on federalcontractsgain the right to a minimum ofone hour ofpaid leave for every 30 hours they work. Stretched out over 12 months, that's up to seven

days per year. The order will allow employees to use the leaveto care forsick relatives as well, and will affect contracts starting in 2017 — just as Obama leavesoffice. Business groups said Obama's order would make it harder for small businessesto retain federalcontractors and could hinder economic growth. "Once again President Obama is using the federal procurement system to do something it was never designed to do: usurp the legislative authority of Congresstodetermine appropriate workplace policies," said Randy Johnson, senior vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The White House wouldn't specify the cost to federal contractors to implement the executive order. The Labor Department said any costs would be off setby savings that contractors would see as a result oflower attrition rates and increased worker loyalty, but produced nothing to back that up. Vice President Joe Biden echoed Obama's theme in a march with an influential labor leader, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who introduced Biden in Pittsburgh as a"brother" and "achampion ofworking men and working women." A few along the parade route chanted "run, Biden, run"in a reference to Biden's ongoing deliberations about whether to run forpresident in 2016. In Boston, Obama was flankedby prominent Democrats such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren and a giant banner reading "Workers and Community" in red, white and blue. Labor leaders Randi Weingartenand Mary Kay Henry joined Obama for the flight on Air Force One. In thecorridorsofthehotel hosting thebreakfast,boxes ofcampaign signs could be spotted bearing the name of Democrati cpresidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who opposes the trade deals.
