In1780, British spy John Andre was captured along with papers revealing Benedict Arnold's plot to surrenderWest Point to the British. In 1806, the Lewis and Clark expedition returned to St. Louis more than two years after setting out for the Pacific Northwest. In 1939, Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, died in London at age 83. In 1957, nine black students who'd entered Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas were forced to withdraw because of a white mob outside. In 1987, Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., withdrew from the Democratic presidential race following questions about his use of borrowed quotations and the portrayal of his academic record. In 1999, the Mars Climate Orbiter apparently burned up as it attempted to go into orbit around the Red Planet.

LOTTERY Megabucks: $3.4 million

Sen. Bill Hansell, left, and Rep. Greg Barreto talked about their accomplishments and some failures they went through over the last legislative session during a town hall meeting Tuesday night.

Barreto encourages getting involved funds, for intrastructure work in the Umatilla Basin that will add value"in the millions and millions of dollars once it's completed." He was also instrumental in securing funding for a new Elgin health clinic and a bill that will protect Milton-Freewater from annexation, he sald. On the negative side, though, Hansell saidbecause ofthepassage oftheclean fuels bills, a transportation package wasn't passed. That is unlikely to be raised in the short session coming up in February, he said. Barreto also lamented the clean fuels bill, saying the standards cannot be met, he said, and thus consumers can expect the price of fuel to increase, although it may take a few years to see. 'You won't see that for probably about three years," he said."That carbon tax does nothing for the infrastructure." Another "bad bill" passed in the recent session, they said, was SB 941, which requires background checks for private gun sales. Hansell called the bill "ridiculous" and unenforceable. "It was all just done for show," he said.

Eastern Oregon delegates from the state Legislature on Tuesday night encouragedresidents to beactive in state politics. In a town hall, Sen. Bill Hansell and Rep. Greg Barreto recapped the 2015 legislative session and all that came with it — "the good, the bad and the ugly," Hansell said. Hansell and Barreto, both in their first terms, said they work well together but that it was a challenging and divisive session, so much so that Republicansbegan referring to themselves as the aroadkill caucus," because they were run over day after day. Hansell, who was in his second legislative session, had just under 20 bills signed by the governor while Barreto, in his first session, had one bill — that will raise speed limits on Eastern Oregon highways — signed into law. The state senator was pleased toget funding, through I-bonds and lottery

QUOTE OFTHE DAY "I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house." — NathanielHawthorne, American author

Answers are elusive. After being sold last month, the In & Out drive-in at 299010th St.isclosed and without the familiar red and yellow landmark featuring an ice cream cone and a hamburger. The sign was removed Tuesday morning by Lytle Signs Inc. of Meridian, Idaho. Jerel Stoor, a representative of the company, wouldn't comment about the sign's fate. The In & Out DriveIn opened in 1954. Dale Lethlean said he bought the drive-in in 1957 and put up the sign within a year. He said the In-N-Out Burger chain sent him a letter in the 1990s asking him to take the sign down. Lethlean refused.

He said he paid a patent lawyer more than $7,000 to settlethe matter. "I found out we had the name registered four years before they did," Lethlean sald. Lethlean's son, Kim Lethlean, said the family proved they had not copied the name of the burger chain that had been in business since 1948. A key difference is what's between the "In" and the "Out." Lethlean's sign puts an ampersand in that space. The burger chain, which

this month opened its first Oregon restaurant, in Medford, has an"N" there. Exactly who bought the business is a mystery. Baker County property records show that the property, which comprises two adjacent tax lots — the restaurant is on one and a home on the other — was soldtoa businessregistered in Oregon as 2990 10th Street, LLC. The billing address for propertytaxes islisted as Michael Geronimo, an

attorney in Walnut Creek, California. Baker County Assessor Kerry Savage saidthe property sold for

$182,000. When asked whom he sold the business to, Dale Lethlean said: "I'm not supposed to say anything, but it's the people who want our name." Gary Wilcox, a project manager with California Neon Products, said his company hired Lytle Signs Inc. to remove the In & Out sign Tuesday.

The juvenile, who was not named by police, was charged with fourth-degree assault, second-degree disorderly conduct and seconddegree criminal trespass. Gridley said the man suffered some injuries to his left arm from the attack.

During the Q&A portion of the meeting,Hansell addressed a potentialfuture mileage tax, which Terry Edvalson said could put an increased burden on rural residents. Hansell said road maintenance funding is an issue, especially given that a gas tax doesn't take into account the use of electric cars. "I personally think mileage isn't the answer," Hansell said, adding that he would instead look at a flat fee for electric cars. Other residents questioned the number of bills that went through the houses — more than 4,000 in the last session — and the transparency of the process. Barreto encouraged constituents to send in potential bill ideas. "It doesn't take a legislator to do this," he said, noting that legislators do have to introduce the bills but that the ideas can come from constituents."The thing that changes Salem is people getting involved."

Police say a La Grande man suffered minor injuriesafterbeing assaulted by a juvenile male in an alley Monday. La Grande police respondedtoa callin an alley on Third Street, between J and K avenues, about12:40p.m. after receivingareportthat someone was being menaced by a firearm. 'The officers got down there and the story was completelyfabricated," said La Grande Police Lt. DerIck Reddmgton. Senior OIftcer Shaun Gridley said he believes the juvenile made up the story in an attempt to detractfrom the assault thattook place. 'The juvenile had had a fight, was very angry and startedkicking over trash cans and being loud" in the alley, said Gridley, who was one of the responding offtcers. An older man, who police did not name, came out to see what was happening and asked the juvenile to stop. "Essentially the juvenile did not like that,"

TOUGH RQGN-.

Editorial from the Bend Bulletin:

Oregonians may not be asked to decide if this should be a so-called right-to-work state next year. The chief sponsor of a ballot measure that would make union dues voluntary for public employees has said she's considering dropping the initiative. Jill Gibson, a Portland lawyer who has worked on similar proposals in the past, is unhappy with the ballot title for her petition written by the Secretary of State's OKce. Among her complaints is a portion of the title that says "non-union public employees may benefit from union bargaining without sharing representation costs." The secretary of state's title was upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court on Sept. 10. While the language approved by the court clearly does reflect one result of a"yes" vote on Gibson's proposed measure, other outcomes seem equally likely. The man who wrote the title, Matthew Lysne, a senior assistant attorney general, told The Oregonian he agreed with arguments by public employee union oKcials who argued the measure would create a"free-rider"eA'ect. That does not change one basic fact: While public employees may opt out of union membership in this state, they must pay dues to a union they do not want to join. They may ask to be reimbursed for money that union spends on politicking but must pay for unwanted union representation at the bar-

gaining table. Gibson clearly believes that's wrong. This is the second time, in fact, in as many years she's tried to give all Oregonians a say in the matter, to no avail. Now, she says, she will talk to her donors and decide whether to give up the fight and wait to see what the U.S. Supreme Court has to say about a California right-to-work case in its next session. Whatever she does, she shouldn't let her effort simply die. Oregon's public unions have a stranglehold on too much that goes on in this state, from education to the department of transportation and the state library. A right-to-work measure could break that stranglehold, but it must make it to the ballot with a reasonable title first. •

MYVOICE

e moon 'le backpacking in Montana, both a grizzly and a cougar wandered into camp while I was sitting along a back country lake. Another night walking along the Lochsa River at dusk, I could hear the howl of wolves as they communicated across the valley with the rising moon. These are the stories I love telling my European fiiends, because it is our wild lands that make the West such a special place. Large predators not only make our forests more wild, they also play a key role is sustaining our forests. It is hard to know when one is making a decision that can change the course of the future, but Union and Wallowa counties' response to the reintroduction of wolves is one of those moments. Ecology is a funny thing. Two things seemingly unrelated can have a great impact on one another. For example, becauseofclim atechange.theroleof wolves is more important than ever in helpingsteelhead populations recover. Here is how that works: As wildfires increase with rising temperatures and drought events, area that was forest will be converted into saplings and grass as they recover. This may increase the population of deer and elk as they will have feeding area. This increase in deer and elk population will hamper or even stop the recoveryofourforestsasthedeerand elk eat all of the new saplings. Without the recovery of our forests, our winter snowpack will be smaller and melt earlier in theyearlastreesprotectsnow

from the sun), which will then in turn decrease our summertime stream flows, which have already started to hurt our steelheadpopulations.Here,predator species can help by keeping the deer and elk population in balance, thus supporting the regrowth of the forest and thus improving the snowpack and the stream flow and, finally, the fish. This is but one example ofhow a predator speciescan have a positiveim pacton our surroundings. Our ecosystem is all connected, and our response to bringing back a keystone species, such as the wolf, will make a difference not only for those in Union and Wallowa counties but throughout the Northwest. Wolves existed in the Wallowa and Blue mountains long before even the Nez Perce settled here. Just a century ago, businessmen and government officials

decided to eradicate the wolf. Our forests and the animals that live there developed and evolvedtogether to form a stable environment. Europeansalsowanted toeradicate predators fmm theirforestsforthe sakeof livestock, and they were very successful. Today, in central Eumpe there exist only a handful ofbears making their forests, essentia lly,verylargepetting zoos.W hat they didn't think about, however, is how an increase in game animals would affect other industries. Forestry projects are dificultand expensive because deereatall f of the saplings — especially along streams and rivers thatareneeded toprotectour water supply. Agriculture is hindered because wild boar feed on the cmps at night. Hunting alone cannot keep these animals in check, as history has proven. This moment is a turning point where we as a community can take one of two paths. We can continue this witch hunt of a hated animal with which no Eastern Oregonian alive has ever grown up; or we can choose to embrace this animal that was once part of our cultural heritage that was stolen from us by shortsighted businessmen and politicians and return our wildlands to those that the frontiersmen saw when they first settled the Grande Ronde and Wallowa valleys and the Nez Perce thrived in for hundreds of years before that. Then maybe our grandchildren, while walkingdown a high fl owing Grande Ronde River filled with steelhead amongst healthy full forests, can also hear the howl of the wolf with the rising moon.

Union County should exerciseitsoption to optoutofa portion of Measure 91, the measure voters approved in November legalizing the possession, sale and production of marijuana in Oregon. "I'm of the opinion that itshould bereferred to the voters," Howard said. Howard explained he believes this is a conflict thatwould be bestdecided by voters, not politicians. Some municipalities have the option of banning the sale and production of marijuana under House Bill 3400, which was passed earlier this year. Municipalities have this option if they are in counties, such as Union County, in which at least 55 percentofthosevoting cast ballots against Measure 91. Most towns in Union County have already chosen to opt out. Union County is one of the last entities in the county to decide. The county commissioners' decision will affect the unincorporated parts of the county, any land outside city hmits. County commissioners held two hearing sessions on the issue earlier this month. The ordinance under consideration would ban the sale and production of marijuana plus the operation of medical marijuana dispensaries in the county's unincorporated areas. The countyhas until Dec. 28 to either make a decision orrefertheissueto voters. Should there be an election, Howard is proposingthatitbe conducted in November 2016. Some community members contend there is no need for an election on whether to opt out because Union County voters earlier clearly expressed their objection of marijuana, voting against Measure 91 by amargin ofabout 59to 41 percent in the November

2014 election. Howard beli eves thatvoters deserve a chance to vote again because so much has changed since then on the Oregon marijuana front. 'There is a different lay of the land. Decriminalization has changed the entire conversation," Howard said. "I feel strongly that people should be able to vote. It is not consistent to say the people have voted and then not let them vote." There are many details about the rules administering legalized recreational marijuana that may not be known by Dec. 28. For example, it is not known if counties that opt out now will later be able to opt back in to allow the sale and production of marijuana. Howard said he expects the Legislature will meet priorto November 2016 to clarify this point. This is one reason why he believes it would be bestforvotersto decide: much more will be known in November 2016 than the county commissioners will know Dec. 28. Union County Commissioner Steve McClure said he has not decided how he feelsaboutthepossibleoptout. His biggest concern is the children of Union County. He wants any decision to be intheirbestinterest. "Science has shown that alcohol and marijuana harm young developing

The lumber business was onceWallowa County's biggest industry. By the 1930s and 1940s, there were as many as 20 sawmills in operation ranging from the small gyppo mills to the larger ones. The photograph shown here is of the Nibley-Mimnaugh Sawmill, which began operation in 1911 and was located atWallowa. A few years later, in 1924, it was sold to another large lumber company, Bowman-Hicks. One by one the mills shut down.

New hospice services offered in senior living facility I~

By Katherine Stickroth

For The Observer

An informational meeting to introduce the new hospice services available in Wallowa County was held recently at the Wallowa Valley Senior Living facility. Heart'n Home Hospice & Palliative Care, based in Idaho with an office in La Grande, was represented by Nate Schultze, outreach coordinator, and Andrea Moskonas, a registered nurse case manager who recently moved to EnMos k onas terprise. Schultze's aplomb in sharing his knowledge ofhospiceeased the atmosphere ofthe audience, considering the difficult subject matter of"End of Life" care. Their services focus on taking care of the patient completely, "emotionally and spiritually, as well as ensuring the physical needs are being met through pain and symptom management." In addition, they ofFer a social worker and a bereavement support group forthecaregivers involved with the patient's needs. Funding to pay for hospice care was an important segment of the presentation. Once a physician determines a patient's condition isterminal,the hospice portion ofMe dicare kicks in. Members of the audience with previous experiencesofloved ones'hospice care sharedpositive stories revealing the value of this service. "The dynamics and the conversations change when the patient shifts from home health care, which maintains and improves health, to hospice care, which provides comfort as the patient approaches the end," said one participant. "Comfort and assurance are offered, not only for the dying, but for the family as well." Registered nurse Nora Stangel, director ofhome health services provided by Wallowa Memorial Hospital, added informationabout services provided by their stafF. Although not certified in providing hospice care, for years they have served Wallowa County residents well, as evidenced by the warm compliments from the audience. ''We were not lacking in any needs," said Randi Jandt in describing the end of her husband's life under Strangel's care. While Heart'n Home Hospice & Palliative Care and Wallowa Memorial Hospital Home Health Care are separate businessentities,a spiritofcooperation exists between the two. These choices appear as "both,and" opportunities,rather than "either, or"regarding the decisions that must be made at such a critical time.

The Eagle Cap Shooters hosted the fifth annual Youth PokerShooton Sunday attheir shooting range and by all accounts, it was a success. Eagle Cap Shooters Board of Directors President Kim Hutchison said the purpose of the Youth Poker Shoot is to interest youths in shooting sports in a safe and responsible way. There were two categories in the Youth Poker Shoot competition on Sunday: ages 6-12 and ages 13-16. Each participant was allowed to purchase as many entries as he or she wanted and each entry bought five shots. There werea totalof22 entries in the competition. The targets were 50 yards away, and each target had a deck of playing cards stapled face down to a board. Every card hit by a shooter was put into an envelope with the participant's name and age on it.

ondering if I could make it on my own, I directedmy traveltoWal lowa County, where my last good memories with Richard resided. Maybe I could determine what to do with my life with that connection in mind. I arrived in Enterprise the night of Oct. 30, 2013. Exhausted from the 2,400 mile journey, I checked into the Ponderosa Motel, which Iwas pleased to discover was pet-friendly. My fourlegged family members were with me: my little Aussie named Brownie and Mosie, a calico cat. Though I lived in the South for most of my life, my years in central Montana had taught me certain unspoken rules to adjust quickly as a newcomer to a small western community, the first being: The best way to find out the character of a town is have breakfast at the localcafe. So early the next morning I walked to Best Friends Restaurant on the other side of the courthouse. The "Junk Omelet" emblazoned on the window invited me to a good meal. Ipretended tobe interested in the art hanging on the walls as I waited for my order, but the truth is, I was listening. Other patrons were excitedly showing the screens on their cellphones to each other, asking, "Have you seen it?" When the door jingled and a familiar person entered, he was greeted by five phones raised in the air pointed toward him, "Have you seen it?" cried in unison. It took a few minutes, but I finally figured it out. A moose had come to town. Iforced myselfto stare at my breakfast and didn't need to salt my omelet. My tears did the job, from quietly laughing in delight until my stomach folded in half. I thought to myself, "Let's see. Where I come from, most of the conversations are about unhappiness with the government, the Mideast conflict, the economy, poor health and Social Security. Here, today's topic is a moose came to town." My heart smiled with delight,"I thinkI want to live here." In the days to follow, I spent time soaking in the landscape and questioning whether I could actually pull ofF a move halfway across the country. I would have to dig deep to find the courage to do this alone, and I had never thought of myself as a brave woman. Isatat the footofWallowa Lake and remembered years ago Richard with his camera, searching for a spotto take the perfect photograph of that sublime scenery. What would he think? "Absolutely!" my mind echoed with his deep voice and the image ofhis smiling face.

Sage grouse

BEND — Oregon ranchers reacted with jubilation Tuesday to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's decision not to list the sage grouse under the federal Endangered Species Act. "It would have been the equal of the spotted owl and what it did to the logging industry," said Bill Wilber, who ranches near Burns and is chairman of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association's wildlife committee. Chicken-sized birds with a signature courtship dance, sage grouse are found on the range, where cattle also roam. Wilber said an ESA listing may have led to restrictions on ranchers who run cattle on federally managed land. The 1993 listing of the northern spotted owl as threatenedtriggered restrictions on federally managedforeststhatcrippled the state's timber industry. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell announced Tuesday that the Fish and Wildlife Service determined the sage grouse did not need to be added to eitherthethreatened or endangered species lists. In avideo released by the Department of the Interior, which oversees the Fish and Wildlife Service, she said the "largestland conservation effort in U.S. history" led to thedecision nottolistsage grouse. 'This has been an extraordinaryefforton a scalew e've never seen before," she said. "And the U.S. Fish and WildlifeService hasdetermined thatthese collective efforts add up to a bright future for the sage grouse." Work to improve sage grouse habitat includes clearing juniper and removing invasivegrasses,both of which have encroached on sagebrush. Sagebrush is atthecore ofsagegrouse habitat.

A male sage grouse fights for the attention of female sage grouse southwest of Rawlins, Wyoming. Jewell visited Bend in late March, along with Gov. Kate Brown, to tout agreements aimed at restoring and protecting sage grouse. The bird is found in Oregon and 10other states.Itonce numbered in the millions, but over the last century, the bird lost roughly half its habitat to development, livestock grazing and an invasivegrassthat' sencouraging wildfires, according to The Associated Press. There are now an estimated 200,000 to 500,000 sage grouse. By offering to take measures sooner, the hope for ranchers has been that they would not facerestrictions brought by the ESA later. The Fish and Wildlife Serviceagreed that the plans are working. "Some habitatlossassociated with energy development, infrastructure, wildfire and invasive plants will continue into the future," according to the agency, but federaland state plans reduce threats on most of the bird's breeding habitat. The U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management have worked on plans to help sage grouse. Even with the Fish and Wildlife Service's decision not tolistthe sage grouse, Wilber, of the cattlemen's

group, said ranchers cannot take"thefootoffthepedal" when it comes to efforts to conservethe bird'shabitat. aWe can't let up," he said. Having the sage grouse not listed under the ESA puts the focus on conservation plans, said Dan Morse, conservationdirectorfor Bend-based Oregon Natural Desert Association. The group was among those that petiti oned tohave the sage grouse listed. Listing is not the crux of the issue, though. "It is more about whether or not we get meaningful conservation on the ground that benefits sage grouse and starts to stabilize their population," he said. The decision not to list the sagegrousefaced criticism from some groups, including the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity. The decisionseemed to be mo re based on"political science than biological science," Randi Spivak, public lands program director forthe group, said in a Tuesday press release. "Greater sage grouse have been in precipitous decline for years and deserve better than what they're getting from the Obama administration," she said.'While there are some important

The city received a grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation to fund the planning process, which the city used to hire four transportation consulting firms through June 2016. Several advisory committee meetings and open houses will be held throughJune 2016 to gatherfeedback on how to put together the plan, the first of which was held at Pendleton City Hall Monday. At the meeting, City Planner Evan

As a result, the plan will propose areas where the city can add sidewalks, improve or add bike lanes and install new transit stops. To demonstrate Pendleton's transportation deficiencies, the city took about a dozen consultants and meeting attendees on a bus tour, starting near the old St. Anthony site and ending at the new one.

EOU snubbed in coaches poll An undefeated start, an early-season upset win against a 2014 playoff team and a win against a ranked opponent should get a team at least a little national consideration. But such was not the case for the Eastern Oregon University women's soccer team in the latest NAIA coaches poll, which was released Tuesday. Not only did the Cascade Collegiate Conference fail to place a team in the top 25, but Eastern failed to receive a single vote among the 19 voting coaches. Defending national champion Lindsey Wilson, Kentucky, retained the top spot.

Having close to two weeks between games may not be ideal, but other than perhaps a few rusty minutes early, the La Grande boys soccer team appeared to show very few ill effects from the long layoff. Blaine Kreutz and Cristian Miramontes eachscoredtwo goals,and theTigersscored four times in the second half to blitz Pendleton 5-1 in Tuesday's nonleague match.

"As far as controlling the tempo of the game, we just really did a good job of passing, finding our angles (and) finding our windows," he said. 'The boys worked hard off the ball for those passes, and when you do that you're going to have alotofpossession."

Garly Fiorina's debate victory

WASHINGTON — Scott Walker and Rick Perry entered the 2016 presidential race with a combined 18 years of experience as governors. They exited the Republican primary — the irstcandidatestodo sof with negligible support and dwindling bank accounts. While Walker and Perry were both flawed candidates, their swift demise is a warning to others who hope to win the White House on the strength of their political resumes. And it leaves the governorsand senators still in the turbulent Republican racescrambling to adapt to a political environment that is rewarding those with the leastgoverning experience. 'The country is very unhappy now, and a winning candidate must be viewed as a change agent," said Scott Reed, a longtime Republican strategist who advisesthe U.S. Chamber of Commerce. So far, billionaire Donald Trump has been the biggest beneficiary of the public's demand for an outsider. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina

arealsoattracting voters eager to express their anger with Washington. None of the three has ever won an election. Republicans voters' apparent desire for a political novice is striking given that conservativeshave long attributed some of what they see as President Barack Obama's weaknesses to his inexperience when he took

office. Obama spent a little less than eight years as an Illinois state senator and ran for president during his first term in the U.S. Senate. As traditional candidates among thecurrent GOP contenders try to break through, they're employing a two-trackstrategy:distance themselves from Washington's political elite while also building a campaign that can

outlast voters'discontent if the anti-establishment mood ultimately fades. In the hours after Walker's stunning withdrawal Monday, his experienced rivals intensified efforts to pitch themselves as Washington outsiders and political disrupters. 'You cannot say that Scott Walker, Rick Perry or myself were insiders in Washington," said Jeb Bush, the former two-term Florida governor who is also the son and brotherofpresidents. Advisers for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a second-term governor and long-serving congressman, touted his effortsto challenge thestatus quo and even his own party. Kasich has pushed the GOP to do more to address poverty, mental illness and drug addiction, and he created an alternative to party leaders' spending plans while serving in Congress. 'You can either say you're a change agent and have nothing to show for it but talk, or you can say you're a change agent and have proof and results that have worked," Kasich spokesman Scott Milburn said.

Russia flies military aid to Syria BEIRUT — Russia has flown military jets and artillery to Syria, according to a U.S. official, raising concerns among Syrian opposition groups that the move would derail United Nations efforts to end the conflict. The U.S. is not sure whether the Russian equipment sent to the Syrian air base in Latakia in the past three or four days is meant to support the government of President Bashar al-Assad or fight Islamic State militants, said the official, who asked not to be identified discussing sensitive information. The Russian arsenal currently includes four Su-27 Flanker air-to-air fighters, 12 Su-24 Fencer low-level attack jets and 12 Su-25 Frogfoot air-to-ground fighters comparable to U.S. A-10 Warthog, the U.S. official said on Monday. It also comprises MI-17, M-24 helicopters, field artillery and armored personnel carriers.

Avista Utilities, a regional natural gas utility, wants to reducenaturalgasratesfor its residential customers by 12.1percentthisfall. The new rates will go into effect Nov. 1, 2015, upon the approval of the company's annual Purchased Gas Adjustment iPGAl, which is under review at the Oregon Public Utility Commission, said Casey Fielder, communications manager with Avista. A PGA is a regulatory tool that is filed annually in Oregon to allow Avista and othernatural gasprovidersto adjust prices that reflect the rapidly changing cost of the commodity in the wholesale market, Fielder said. The cost oftransportingnatural gas on Avista's interstate pipelines is included as well. The price Avista pays for natural gas on the wholesalemarket getspassed to customers. In other words, Avista does not mark up the costofnaturalgaspurchased to meet customer needs, so there is no impact on company earnings. The price cut will trim the averagebillfor Oregon residents by 12.1 percent or $7.55 per month,fora new monthly

bill of $54.92, Fielder said. Natural gas is measured in British thermal units iBtul, which is what companies like Avista use to measure natural gas consumption. In Oregon, residents use, on average, 46 therms per month. The sale and distribution of natural gas in the U.S. is dependent on a fairly complicated marketplace with a financial side on the New York Mercantile Exchange and a physical market, consisting of the actual purchase and sale

Cascade Natural Gas also cutting rates this fall Cascade Natural Gas customers, including those in Baker City, will pay less for their fuel starting Nov. 1. The company has filed a request with the Oregon Public Utility Commission to reduce its rates by about 7.1 percent. That would save the average residential customers about $3.56 per month.

of natural gas in the United States. Natural gas prices are driven primarily by supply and demand. The supply of natural gasis heavilydependent on the infrastructure producersand distributors have in place including pipelines and storage facilities. Transportation costsare also alargefactorin thecostof natural gas on the wholesale market. The declining cost of fuel in recent months might alsobe a contributing factor ofAvista'sproposed rate cut. Although the price of natural gas remains highly volatile in the short term, it has been steadily declining since 2006. Innovative drilling methods since the early 2000s are the primary cause ofthesepricereductions. "Since the Bakken shale boom in North Dakota startingin 2007,naturalgas production has increased 40 percent, which contributes heavily to the supply factors," said Scott McConnell, an economicsprofessorat

•000

Eastern Oregon University in La Grande. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have enabled energy companies in the U.S. to ramp up production of natural gas, prompting regional distributors to sell the commodity to customers at cheaper rates. Production of natural gas has increased much faster than consumption in recent years, leading to unusually low prices by international standards. The costofdrilling is expected to decline even further in the medium and long term as more natural gas reserves are exploited, enabling distributors such as Avista to cut prices even further in the future, McConnell said. The unusually warm winter of2014-15 was also a contributing factor in the rate cut, McConnell said. Under normal conditions, demand for naturalgas peaks between December and February, the coldest months of the year. Declining demand, and thus, the price fornaturalgas,is adirect result of the mild winter. Demand for natural gas is also driven by economic growth in a region. Consumption rises when economic growth is high and declines when growth stagnates. "Another factor that contributesto the decrease in demand, besides the slowly recovering economy, is the energy efficiencies that have beenpromoted through the tax system for built structuresand appliances,"said McConnell."As Americans are able to make deductions or gettax creditsfor purchasing energy-saving appliances, they tend to do so."

mana er DEAR KEN: Since I promoted someoneintoa manugement role,they have gonefrom being earl y towork and staying late to always arrivmg later than my otheremployees and leaving when the hourly workers gohome. When I asked him about it he said that as a manuger, he no longer had to punch a clock and couldanive lateand leavewhen he wanted to.

— RON T. DEAR RON: I think you need to speak to an employment attorney about whether or not you really promoted someone into management or did you give them a title and they are really a manager in name only. Assuming that the individual in question meets all of the legal requirements for being in management, you have a troubling situation developing. Individuals in management are supposed to set an example to those they lead, and instead of that happening, this individual has developed a"rank has its privileges" attitude which appears to be something new to your company. This is a virus you do not want spreading into your company. This is a troubling attitude because as the owner you want as much"we" as possible and to limit the"me" factor to the point where it is nonexistent. The "me"attitude isappropriatefor a 2-yearold but witnessing it in an adult in a management role is both disappointing and scary. You need to quickly decide if this individual is coachable or not because part of your responsibility is to help every individual become better. Don't delay having this necessary discussion, bring your attorney in to the meeting if necessary. And, if your newly appointedmanager doesn'tchange how they think and operate very quickly, you need to find someone more malleable and understanding to take the position. SeeKeller IPage 2B

POPE FRANCIS

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The pope of thepoorarrived for his first-ever visit to the world's wealthiest superpower Tuesday denying he is a lefbst and riding in a frugal little family car, windows rolled down. Pope Francis' chartered plane from Cuba touched down at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, where President Barack Obama and his wife and daughters paid him the rare honor of meeting him at the bottom of the stairson thered-carpeted tarmac. Presidents usually make important visitors come to them at the White House. Emerging fiom the aircraft to loudcheersfrom acrowd of hundreds, the smiling 78-yearold pontiffremoved his skullcap in the windy weather and made his way down the steps in his white robes. He was welcomed by a military honor guard, chanting schoolchildren, politicians, and Roman Catholic clerics in black robes with vivid sashesofscarletand purple. Joe Biden, the nation's first Catholic vicepresident,and his wife were among those who greeted him. Eschewing a limousine, the pope climbed into the back of a little Fiat sandwiched between huge black SUVs. He promptly rolled down the windows, enabling the cheering, whooping crowds to see him as his motorcade took him to the Vatican diplomatic mission in Washington, where he will stay while in the nation's capital. The choice of car was in keeping with his simple habits and his stand against consumerism. His decision

to roll down the windows reflected his penchant for frying to connect to ordinary peopledespite thetightsecurity around him. During his six-day, threecity visit to the U.S., the pope will meet with the president on Wednesday, address Congress on Thursday, speak at the United Nations in New York on Friday and take part in a Vatican-sponsored conference on the family in Philadelphia over the weekend. The Argentine known as the "slum pope" for ministering to the downtrodden in his native Buenos Aires is expected to urge America to take bettercareofthe environment and the poor and return to its founding ideals of religious liberty and open arms toward immigrants. During the flight, Francis defended himself against conservative criticism that his condemnation of trickledown economics makes him a communist. "I am certain that I have never said anything beyond what is in the social doctrine of the church," he said. He said some may have misin-

terpreted his writings in a way that makes him sound "a little bit more left-leaning," but he said that's wrong. Joking about doubts in some quarters over whether he is truly Catholic, he said, "If I have to recite the Creed, I'm ready." Francis' enormous popularity, propensity for wading into crowds and insistence on using an open-sided Jeep rather than a bulletproof popemobile have complicated things for U.S. law enforcement, which has mounted one of the biggest security operations in American history to keep him safe. The measures are unprecedentedfora papaltrip and could make it nearly impossible for many ordinary Americans to get anywhere close to Francis. For all the attention likely to be paid to Francis' speeches, including the irstaddress from a pope to f Congress, his more personal gestures — visiting with immigrants prisoners and the homeless — could yield some of the most memorable images of the trip.
