ONTHIS DATE In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street panic known as "Black Friday" after financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market. In 1789, President George Washington signed a Judiciary Act establishing America's federal court system and creating the post of attorney general. In 1948, Mildred Gillars, accused of being Nazi wartime radio propagandist "Axis Sally," pleaded not guilty in Washington, D.C., to charges of treason. In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack while on vacation in Denver. In 1976, former hostage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.)

• Store to transition focus on irrigation needs By Kelly Ducote The Observer

Pendleton Grain Growers, Inc. hasn't publicly disclosed a name, but its Island City retail store will soon be transitioned into a new wholly owned limited liability corporation, PGG announced Friday. The move comes as PGG continues restructuring efforts. PGG earlier this year hoped to sell its retail locations, but many of those locations will close, including the Joseph store. Island City's store, however, will remain, though it will no longer offer the variety ofproductsitdoesnow,said

M addee Moore, publicrelations manager for PGG. The new business will focus on serving the pump and irrigation needs of the region, along with a domestic pump market, according to a press release. "It won't be the seed, it won't be the animal health," Moore said."It's going to solely be focused on the irrigation business." PGG is in the process of closing out its inventoryin Joseph and Island City. The Joseph store will close once the inventory is closed out, Moore said, but Wallowa County customers will still be servedatthe Island City location. Customers may feel the lossoftherange ofproducts but PGG is happy to be able to stay in the area, Moore said. "It's not ideal in that sense iinventory reduction), but the

valley is very much dependent on irrigation," she said. aWe're excited about this option and opportunity to stay invested in this area." Moore said restructuring at PGG is similar to what other member-owned cooperativesare experiencing across the country. "Co-ops are changing around the nation. These changes aren't anything we aren't seeing on the national level," she said. PGG is an agricultural co-op with a history of serving communities of eastern Oregonand Washington for more than 80 years. PGG Board Chair Tim Hawkins said the Island City store transition will help meet the needs of the valley better than other options discussed.

LOCAL BRIEFING From stag reports

Teens throw water at homeless woman A homeless woman was doused with water thrown at her by three teenagers over the weekend. Terri Sebastian, 57, had a bucket of water splashed over her Sunday night by the teens. According to La Grande Police Chief Brian Harvey, these teenagers were being malicious. Sebastian was unharmed in the incident and is not prosecuting, Harvey said. A Facebook post on the Union County Classified page postedthree photos of the teenagers' car,a silver Volkswagen Jetta, with one of the teenagers running back into the car after the incident. The witness called the policeand reported it.

Editorial from the Bend Bulletin:

Many believe it's inevitable that Oregon will legalize recreational marijuana. That may be so, and it may be the right thing to do. It's not, however, as simple as its advocates would have us believe. Ranging from youth access, to impaired driving, to delayed effects from edibles, dozens of issues pose significant questions and risks. And in Oregon, a rare opportunity is staring us in the face: Let Washington and Colorado, which have already plunged down this path, do the hard discovery for us. All we have to do is wait a few years and we'llbe able to m ake far better-informed decisions. Sayno to Measure 91,and give Oregon a chance to benefit from lessons learned in Washington and Colorado. Two issues stand out from the rest: youth access and Unpaired drivlllg.

Even ardentproponents agree about the unique dangersofconsistent marijuana use by youngsters, whose brains are still developing. They argue nonetheless that legalization won't make access easier than it is now, because any kid knows where to buy pot. But if we normalize use, with mom and dad picking it up routinely and consuming it openly, it's obvious kids will find marijuana easier to get and less scary to use. While it's too soon to know how it will play out in Colorado with wider legalization, research shows significant increases in youth marijuana use since the 2009 legalization of medical marijuana there. Impaired driving under the effects of marijuana poses special challenges, because there is no Breathalyzer that can measure it. Presence of the active ingredient in the bloodstream doesn't directly match up with impairment. Edibles containing marijuana deliver their effect in delayed fashion that can't be accurately anticipated. In a wider context, edibles present other problems. They're easily confused with regular foods that we eat all the time and that appeal to kids, and the delayed impact can encourage overconsumption. Despite these challenges, clearly many people want legal, safe access. Oregon likes to be in the front of the pack on big changes, but this is one where the smart move is to hold back a little and learn from the lessons in Washington and Colorado. •

e o e to votenotwise

The pursuit of perfection is usually foredoomed, but the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission, which has a latitudinarian understanding of ethical behavior, has a perfectly awful idea. It is urging the City Council to consider ways of paying — starchier ethicists might call it bribing — people to vote. Some ideas are so loopy that they could only be conceived by governments, which are insulated from marketplace competition that is a constant reminder of reality. And governments are generally confident that their constituents need to be improved by spending the constituents' money. The supposed problem for which the "pay the voters" idea purports to be a solution is this: Few Los Angeles residentsare voting. Especially alarming to those who choose to be alarmed is the fact that only 23.3 percent of those eligible to vote did so in last year's mayoral election. Well. Since the days of Hiram Johnson l1866-1945), who was governor 100 yearsago,progressivism has intermittently made California an incubator of dubious ideas. One of them is that government should fine-tune political partisanship — disagreements about how government should behave. If this looks like a conflict of interest, you have not embracedprogressivism's default assumption, which is that disinterested government has only the interests of "thepeople"atheart. Los Angeles, in order to get things just right, has a nonpartisan primary. In it, all candidates of all party affiliations fora particularoffi ce arelisted together on primary-election ballots. If no one receives a majority, the top two finishersfaceeach otherin arunoffelection.

GEORGE WILL SYNDICATEDCQLUMNIST

The rationale for this system, which is favored by people whose moral micrometers can measure such things, is that there is "too much" partisanship, which produces "too much" polarization. Los Angeles is a one-party city in a one-party state. It is a state in which one power— organizedlabor,especially government employees' unions — is the dominant political force, no matter who is chosen to govern from a coterie of candidates representing faintly variant shadesofprogressivism. Predictably, the March 2013 mayoral primaryproduced a general-election choice between two progressive Democrats. Predictably, this did not produce a stampede to the May runoff. So now Los Angeles's problem is too much apathy. Reformers'work is never done because their ideas have such unanticipated 4y them) caroms. Now, partisanship is surely healthy: People have different political goals and sensibilities; like-minded people cluster; we call these clusters political parties; in our two-party system, their polarity defines the competition for power. But fine-tuning partisanship to produce just the right amount of polarization requires subtlety beyond the ken of most of us. Progressi vism,however,isallabout bringing to bear on society the fabulous expertise of a disinterested clerisy. Although the ethics commission is sad that so few Angelenos are expressing their political opinions, the commission should cheer up. Not voting is an expres-

But when making the cost-benefit calculation, that class should ask: What benefit might result? Regarding voting, more often means worse. If money is necessary to lure certain voters to the polls, those voters will lower the quality of the turnout: They will be those people who are especially uninterested in, and hence especially uninformed about, public affairs. Why is it intelligent public policy to encourage their participation?

La Grande's only medical marijuana dispensary, Green Apothecary, was reportedly broken into Wednesday morning, according to La Grande police.

of the five had participated in the strikes, with Qatar playing a supporting role. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Turkey, too, is joining the coalition against the Islamic State group and"will be very engaged on the front lines of this effort." Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in New York for U.N. meetings, said he was considering expanding support of NATO operations against the Islamic State to include military involvement. In all, Kerry said, more than 50 nations are allied in the fight. It was a measure of the gravity of the threat and the complex politics of the problem that Syrian President Bashar Assad gave an indirectnod ofapprovalto the airstrikes in his own country, saying he supported"any international anti-terrorism effort." There has been concern among U.S. officials that strikes against militants fighting Assad could be seen as

The first wave, conducted by the U.S. alone, focused mostly on a shadowy network of al-Qaida veterans known as the Khorasan Group, based in northwestern Syria. ''We've been watching this group closely for some time, and we believe the Khorasan group was nearing the execution phase of an attack either in Europe or the homeland," said Lt. Gen.

Katy Nesbitt The Observer

WALLOWA LAKE — Marc Zwerling never intended to be an innkeeper nor had much interest in visiting Wallowa County, but once he saw Wallowa Lake and the historic lodgeby the same name, he changed his mind. ''When I came up for the first time, I traveled through similar country as I'd seen throughout the state, until I came around the bend and saw the lake for the first time," Zwerling said. Then thefamily who had owned the lodge for 60 years put it on the market. Clients of Zwerling's wanted to buy it, but when they were unable to keep up with the maintenance of what by the late 1980s was a decrepit inn, Zwerling and longtime friend Steve Larsen stepped in and began renovating it. Larsen and Zwerling became friends in the '60s. Zwerling had

The Wallowa County Museum is sponsoring an"Explore Alder Slope" excursion Saturday afternoon. Anyone interested should meet at the museum, 110 S. Main St. in Joseph, at 2 p.m. For more information, call Ann Hayes at 541-432-4834. According to its website, the Wallowa County Museum is located in the historic First Bank of Joseph building, built in 1888. The museum was created in 1976 as abicentennial projectby agroup of dedicatedvolunteers.

ENTERPRISE — Inan ever-evolving and complex tie between the people who live in rural Oregon and how they earn their living, Wallowa Resources is reaching out to Oregon State University for help with applied researchthatcan providejobs,both directly and indirectly. Fifty-eight percent of Wallowa County is public land managed by the U.S. Forest Service, and roughly half of that is wilderness. Managing the other half for forest health and to support the timber and ranching industries is a challenge tackled not only by Wallowa Resources, but the county as a whole. While Wallowa Resources helps contractors, such as weed sprayers and heavy equipment operators, find work on the national forest, Executive Director Nils Christoffersen said the organization could use help &om the university's academics. At a recent meeting at the Wallowa Resources Stewardship Center, leaders of collaboratives throughout Eastern Oregon, localland managers and professors discussed how Oregon State can help rural communities do research to expand forest management. Wallowa Resources and the university already have a working relationship, and severalgraduate students have done research and internships with the local nonprofit. Currently, Eric White of OSU's College of Forestry is working on the social and economic impacts of the Lower Joseph Creek environmental impact statement. Christoffersen said he is searching for other entry points where the university can help rural communities. Jeff Fields, manager of The Nature Conservancy's Zumwalt Prairie Preserve, suggestedstudents could work as scribes atcollaborativemeetings — areal-world way to pick up on interpersonal relations regarding natural resources. He added that he sees a need for long-term, in-depth monitoring and attention to social and ecological questions. Fieldssaid students can add to landscapescale project planning by working with satellite imagery, for instance. awe can build interdisciplinary students at the molecular level," Fields said. Bruce Dunn, local manager for RY Timber and president of the Wallowa County Natural Resource Advisory Committee, said he would like to see integration between academia and work on the ground. "If students can walk in someone else's boots for a while, it helps them understand other people's points of view," Dunn said. Dunn said the university is educating future land managers — and those students need exposureto today'schallenges. OSU Professor John Bailey agreed and said the students can benefit &om experiential learning. Jenny Reinheardt, retired Forest Service fuels manager and consultant with Wallowa Resources, said she sees a continuing need to provide family-wage jobs. "Thereneeds to be opportunitiesfor retaining the next generation in the community," Reinheardt said. Jim Henson, longtime board member, said the university has helped with studies on regional economic development. "One ofthose factorsisa well-trained work force — and a flexible one for the inevitable changes that are occurring," he said.

The Pac-12 has corrected a book-keeping error that credited former USC quarterback Matt Barkley, the conference's current record holder, with 12,274 career passing yards. Barkley now has 12,327 passing yards, meaning Mannion needs 989 yards to breakthe mark.

The La Grande Optimist Club football season is off and running with eight local football teams having kids in grades4-6 facing offagainsteach other this fall. While the players tend to keep score of their games, no official score is kept, as the coaches emphasize learning how to play the game properly and safely ahead of thecompetitive aspect.

Since the Optimist Club began the football program in 1967, local kids get to practice and learn how to play football as safely as possible, according to Optimist Football Commissioner Kirk Travis. cWe do a lot when it comes to safety," Travis said."All coaches take concussion courses to learn what to look for when a kid may have a concussion. We also have coaches who are EMTs and personal trainers. We teach them how to stretch, be ready and keep themselves safe." As head coach of the Dutch Brothers team, Mike Gekas said the coaches always put their team's safety first.

CORVALLIS — Rahmel Dockery had modest expectations when he joined Oregon State for fall camp last month. Practice diligently, he thought, and backup reps could be on the horizon. Earlier this week, Dockery shook his head slightly when reflecting on how reality has bested hopes. He was

toiling through individual workouts in his hometown a year ago in the name ofconvincing an FBS program to try him at wide receiver. On Saturday, Dockery could shoulder a heavy workload in one ofhis sport's most storied venues.

He was trying to do the right thing," Helfrich said."A lot of times the DB is trying to go up and catch it and tips the ball again, but that was obviously a great play if you're wearing Arizona colors and a tough, tough play if you're a Cal Bear."

TORONTO — A milestone moment for rookie outfielder DaltonPompey gave the Blue Jays reason to smile even as their playoffhopes ended. Pompey hit his first major league homer off Felix Hernandez, and Toronto roughed up the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner fora careerworst-tying eight earned runs Tuesday night in a 10-2 victory over the Mariners that further dentedSeattle'sfading wildcard chances. "I've played with that guy in video games," Pompey said, referring to Hernandez. "To think that I just hit a home run offhim is pretty crazy." The Blue Jays led the AL East into June and remained in wild-card contention until going 9-17 in August. They were mathematically eliminated when Kansas City beat Cleveland. cWe're all disappointed," starter R.A. Dickey said. Pompey's impressive drive, a second-deck shot that came with his parents and brother in the stands, eased Toronto's pain a little bit. Pompey became the ninth Canadian player to hit a home run for the Blue Jays, joining Rob Ducey, Paul Hodgson, Corey Koskie, Brett Lawrie, Adam Loewen, Dave McKay, Simon Pond and Matt Stairs. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-run homer and Dickey (14-12) allowed two runs over seven innings to win for the fourth time in five starts. The slumping Mariners fell three games out of the second AL wild-card spot with five games remaining. "As an ace, I take responsibility," Hernandez said."I let my team down. That's my fault." Seattle lost its fourth straight thanks to another pooreffortby a starting pitcher. Mariners starters have failed to complete five innings in any of the past four games.

SALEM — A nonprofi t'sproposed expansion of its youth camps may be in jeopardy as a state lands commission considers new rules governing the projectatthesiteofthe former city of Rajneeshpuram. Young Life, a nondenominational Christian group that already has two youth camps on the site, watched as theLegislature passed a law last year that was intended to allow the nonprofit to avoid a lengthy land use exception process and build another camp immediately. But that wasn't the end of the game. The bill required a state agency to create rules that will govern all new youth camps on the low-quality, Eastern Oregon farmland. But the proposedrules,iffinalized Friday, might either deter future camps and potentially millions of dollars' worth of development, orlead to m ore laws specifically for Young Life after, critics say, the land commission undermined the law's intent. "I can absolutely guarantee it wasn't the intent of the Oregon Legislature to pass a billand createrulesthatwould allow for no camp at all," said Craig Kilpatrick, a land use consultant for Young Life.'Wewould not have made an applicat ion ifthe rulestoday were

TAKE DO-IT-YOURSELF APPROACH • Ashley Kahl, Katie Newman launch all-natural Crunchy Mamas By Lisa Bntton For the Baker City Herald

All they wanted was lip balm with natural ingredients. So threeyears ago,sisters-inlaw Ashley Kahl and Katie Newman made their own. Then they made some for fiiends, then more people wanted some, so they made more and started marketing their product. aWe thought we should make lip balms and see if anybody will buy them. And they did," Kahl sald. The Crunchy Mamas was founded — "handmade products by moms who hate chemicals." Although they started the business in Dallas, Ore., where they both lived, Crunchy Mamas' first official space is in downtown Baker City. Earlier this year, Newman and her family moved here when her husband, Dustin, started work at the Baker City Police Department. Since Kahl still lives in Dallas, they have divided duties — Newman handles manufacturing and shipping while Kahl is in charge of all social media and marketing. Kahl comes east when she can — these two, in addition to being relatedby marriage,are best fiiends. aWe're constantly on the

The biggest shame to befall any business leader is to begin a new year with the goalofhaving theyear end in a betterplace,and then face the brutal facts at year end that the business is in worse condition than when the year started. Ask five questions to check how far, or not, your company has progressed: 1. Are we still selling vanilla ice cream? Continuing to sel la"me too"commodity like everyone else does only leads to ever shrinking margins. Many companies get into the trap of selling only on price because they have not correctly positioned themselves in the market, but more importantly, becausethere isnoviable reason for a buyer to pay more. The turnaround can still take place in the remaining time left in the year. A breakthrough organization is always on the hunt for a more compelling competitive advantage and the search for higher margins by developing products that are worthy of a higher price. Lock your brainpower in a room until this opportunity had been completely addressed. 2. What have you done to retain the best and engage or replace the rest? Every business is based on the quality of the people in the organization. The challenge oftheleader isto retain the very best managers and to engage as many employees as possible.

A plot he planted last year in his east Medford yard produced one caterpillar last year, but the noxious milkweed there is closing in on 30 caterpillars this year.

''When there's a significant increase in spending money in their account, where there wasn't before, the banks may catch that," he said. It's not always about the money though, Musgrove said.
