Restoration eSorts supported by La Grande Ranger District Observer staff

BAKER CITY — As plumes of smoke from wildfires filled the skies over Eastern Oregon this summer, the need forforestrestoration work was on everyone's minds.

The Eastside Restoration Initiative in Eastern Oregonfocuseson restoration activities to restore resiliency to fire-dependent forests, watersheds and aquatic ecosystems, and wildlife habitat.

The La Grande Ranger District has been working to contributetotheserestoration efforts.

The Sandbox Vegetation M anagementprojectislocated adjacentto severalroadless areas and the Eagle Cap Wilderness in the South Fork Catherine Creek area south-

east of La Grande. Years of fire suppression in the Sandbox area has allowed not only fuel loadings to build up to hazardous levels but also has seen the ingrowth of trees and shrubs, which act as ladder fuels, allowing active wildfires to move from the ground up into the crowns of trees. Crown fires accountfor high levelsoftree mortality and a high rate of fire spread, especially when driven by wind.

The Sandbox project will producetwo timber salesto be sold in 2014 and 2015, totaling an estimated 6 millionboard feetoftimber and a varietyofservice contract work to complete thousands of acresofsm alltree thinning and fuel reduction treatments.

during fire suppression activities. While the project was not designed to stop a wildfire, once it is complete these areas will provide safe places from which firefighters can work to keep wildfires from coming out of or going on to private lands, wilderness and roadless areas."Having thesekey areas treated will provideopportunitiesto m ore safely manage future fires and help reduce unwanted impacts in the event of a wildfire in the area," said Bill Gamble, La Grande district ranger.

Also within the heart of the Sandbox area is the Corral Creek Road Relocation project focusing on therestoration of aquatic ecosystems in Corral Creek and South Fork Catherine Creek.

Caurtesy phato

Eastside Restoration efforts include the building of this new bridge over North Fork Catherine Creek, which has improved fish habitat, while also providing safe access for the public to the area's trails.

The project will improve forests by thinning crowded stands of trees, and also will reduce fuel loadings along

The Associated Press

SALEM — Oregon school district shave caught a break from the rise in public pension payments that's been battering their budgets since the 2008 recession, thanks to a rising stock market and the stateLegislature.

A new schedule of payments shows school districts will pay about 25percent less, on average, in 2015 to bailout the Public Employees Retirement System, the Salem Statesman Journal reported.

Two years ago, the pension system was looking at a $16 billion shortfall. Every public employer learned they would be paying about 30 percent more for pension benefits in 2013 in an effort to make up the shortfall.

Now, the shortfall has shrunk by half, and the markets have risen in a way that's helping Oregon's school districts.

For many other public employers in Oregon, pension contributions are going up, just not so sharply. Other local and state bodies will see an increase of about 11 percent in contributions.

BRASURE Continued from Page1A Senior Center said Brasure worked on several committees for the center, including serving committeesfor catering events.

Gentry said following his recent marriage, Brasure had resigned from his position on the advisory council.

"He was our bingo caller. He did a really good job for us," Gentry said.

Brasure had recently submitted a candidate questionnaire to The Observer. In it, he detailed how he was born and raised in La Grande. After serving as a La Grande firefighter, he joined the U.S. Forest Service in Boise, Idaho. There he received two degrees kom Boise State Universi-

LOCAL ty, one in fire science and another in business management. For 16 years, he served as a wildland firefighter out of Boise before transferring to Vancouver, Wash.

He was eventually moved into the position of fire management officer.

In October 2009, Brasure wrote, heretired after 32years with the Forest Service.

Upon returning to La Grande, he wrote that he was shocked to see the number of empty storekonts in downtown La Grande.

"They were all full when I was growing up in La Grande," he wrote.'Yes, many businesses have moved to Island Ave., but why not bring businesses back to the downtown?"

In his questionnaire, he noted that the council has the authority to make changes, but that, as

mayor, he would listen to his constituents.

He proposed creating an office of the mayor in order to meet with residents to hear their concerns.

"I assure you that any idea broughtto me, asm ayor,can and will be discussed by the council," he wrote.

Brasurewas setto face otf against Steve Clements in the Nov. 4 election.

Clements expressed sympathy at hearing of Brasure's death. ''We were running for a public office. We weren't opponents," Clements said."I have a lot of respect for anyone willing to step up to this level of service. I feel very sorry for his family and extend my condolences to them. It's a difficult time and they deserve the respect of the privacy they need to dealwith these affairs."

would never describe myself as a catperson,butIdo love m ost furrycrittersoutsideofrodents and possums. I never thought I'd live with a cat on purpose, but sometimes these things happen.

If you look closely as you drive through Wallowa County, you will notice there is at least one cat for every 160-acre pasture.

As I drive down my lane there is a black and white kitty, a fluffy white kitty, an orange kitty I call "Not Moghi" and my house's kitty, Moghi. She came with the place and though quite friendly, I didn't let her inside for a year until I had a mouse problem.

I'd like to say I never saw sign of them again after she moved in, but such is not the case.

She continued to hunt regularly, but mostly outside. Not too long after my dogs died she brought ina dead fi ve-pound field mouse and deposited it in

the middle of the dining room.

I pointedat it and screamed, "Get that out of here!" She just looked at me. It made me miss the dogs — even if they didn't do what they were told at least I knew theyknew whatI was saying. Moghi? She knows her name and that's about it.

After Bridey was gone something interesting happened.

Other stray cats began appearing, coming by to hang out with

Moghi.

First it was Scruffy Kitty, a calico of sorts, then Tuxedo Kitty, a black and white cat, and sometimes Not Moghi, a cat that looks like Moghi, but does not come when called. None tried to come in, but it was evident she has a posse.

Though Brideyhated Moghi and once tried to kill her, she had to abide by the new house rules that a kitty was going to live with us. She would watch

Cats and dogs alike are opportunists and risk takers. I have photographicproof ofMoghi's totalstupidity or boldness, sharing a dog bed with the Red Menace. As for 'Fraidy Cat iDogl Finnegan, Moghi would sass him by rubbing against him or batting him with her paw. His reactionwas fear and retreat.

She never did that to Bridey, of course. She did have some awareness of the chain of command. And so Moghi lived with us when it suited and would be gone for long spells in the sum-

mer, to return when she wanted a sofanap or a meal ofprocessed food asopposed to live prey.

Moghi'sgreatest admirer has always been my dad. The two have become good friends over the years of countless parental visits to the farmhouse.

Moghi has endeared herself to my mother as well, sharing the sofa with her and even crawling into bed with my parents and snuggling her way under the covers. My mother, in turn, buys her catfood and once an alltoo realistic toy mouse.

There is great change afoot in allof our lives. My parents are packing up their Portland house and will be making Enterprise their home in a couple weeks, and I am downsizing from a 10-room house to a two-room apartment.

The pup, of course, is coming with me, but what to do with feral-turned-sometimes-house-

cat Moghi?

Okay, I may not be a cat person, but I am a control freak.

Yesterday I took a turn down the oldlane to see her.

There she was, sitting in the yard.

When I got out, she went to thefront door to be let in.

Instead, I scooped her up and brought her to town.

She didn't like the car at all and used an all-new meow tone to tell me, but she quickly made herself comfortable on the sofa at the Scout's house. When my parents settle in, we will see how she likes city dwelling.

Ican'tbe so cavalier as to say I rescued her; she's taken good enough care ofherself all these years mousing the fields and enduring umpteen degrees below zero nights, but I will confess my heart warmed as I held her again last night. Sometimes these things happen.

WASHINGTON — With five weeks left until election day, television airwaves will remain jammed with political advertising, giving candidates with the most cash on hand anadvantage in getting theirmessage tovoters.

Fundraising figures from the third quarter are not available yet, but heading into July in Oregon's U.S. Senate race, incumbent Democrat Sen. Jeff Merkley enjoyed a huge cash advantage over Republican challenger Monica Wehby, with $3.5 million cash on hand to

Wehby's $647,000.

In some ways, Merkley's moneyedgeis hardly surprising; as anincumbmt, he's had the entiie campaigncyde ofsix years to courtdonors,racking up $9.2 millionover thatperiod.

W ehby, a pediatri cneurosurgeon from Portland, declared her candidacy in October 2013 and has since

raised $2.05 million.

Over the same period, Merkley collected more than $3.8 million in contributions, outraising her in every quarter, according to financial reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Wehby also spent money during a contested primary, which Merkley avoided.

Both campaigns declined to discuss their media strategy leading to the Nov. 4election or how big their ad buys would be in the coming weeks.

At this pointin the race, moneyis arguably the mostimportant factor,saidJim Moore, an assistant pmfessor ofpolitics and government at Pacific Universityin Forest Gmve.

Particularly in a statewide race, candidates have to reach a mass market, because there are too many voters for campaigns to contact them each individually, he said.

"The way that you do that is publicity, and the way that you control that is with your own money, your own advertisements, mailings and phone banks," said Moore.

"The challenger's money has to introduce the candidate and explain why this candidateisa betterchoicethan what we already have."

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog organization that monitors moneyin politics, incumbents enjoy a huge money advantage over their challengers. In the 2014 races, incumbent senators have

For individual donors, 54 percentofcontributions to Merkley's campaign came fiom Oregonand 46 percent fiom out of state. For Wehby, 48 percent ofcontributions came from in-state while 52 percent came from elsewhere.

Government flags NFL's blackout rule The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — For years, football fans have bemoaned the rule barring NFL home games that haven't sold out from being televised in the local market.

Well, you can't blame the government anymore.

The vote won't actually end blackouts, which are written into the NFL's private contracts with broadcastand cablecompanies.

But it means responsibility for blackouts now lies entirely with the NFL and its television partners, not the government.

Last year, only two NFL games were blacked out in local markets: The Bengals against the Chargers in San Diego on Dec. 1 and the Dolphins vs. the Bills in Buffalo on Dec. 22.

Even so, the NFL launched a lobbying campaign against the blackout repeal.

The rule has barred cable-TV stations from televising games in metro areas where those games were being blacked out on local TV.

On Nov. 22, Herrera will take part in the World Association of Benchers and Deadlifters Championships in Las Vegas, where he will take part in the bench press competition.

Herrera, who will turn 50 just over a month before the competition, is taking part in the 43- to 53-year old age group.

Herrera said he currently weighs about 295 pounds, and has to gain 10 pounds in order to qualify for the men's super heavyweight division at a minimum of 305 pounds.

Tigers recover from falling Saturday, win on the road Observer staff

The La Grande volleyball team bounced back from the disappointment of losing to Southridge, Wash., in the finals of the tournament it hosted Saturday with a 25-17, 25-16, 25-9 Greater Oregon League win over Mac-Hi Tuesday on the road.

Tigers head coach Melinda Becker-Bisenius said her girls did a great job of specifically executing what they worked on in Monday's practice. cWetried to feed the ball toward the middle in practice on Monday, and the girls did a great job of attacking down the middle," Becker-Bisenius said."Mac-Hi was mobbing our outside hitters, but we had a strong attack going down the middle."

Becker-Bisenius added that Anna Grigsby and Katie Stone did a strong job of attacking through the middle of the court. Grigsby finished with 10 kills, while Cassandra Brownell finished with 16 kills.

"Anna and Katie did a great job in the middle of our attack," Becker-Bisenius said.

"They were really swinging out there and did a great job of running our offense."

Senior Kali Avila led the Tigers with 32 assists, whilel Brandy Blackman and Mattie Spencerboth tallied 11digs.

The Tigers finished with a serving percentage of 92 percent,m eeting their90 percent goal that Becker-Bisenius set for the match.

Senior Hanna Cashell finished with a perfect night serving.

serving hot streak gave her much more confidence to unleash the jump serve more often. eiThe Ontario match) did a lot for my confidence," Brownell said."Before, I was scared to jump serve, and now I know I can really do it."

Brownell, who finished her junior season at La Grande with 78 kills, 16 aces and 152 digs, also enjoyed a successful spring as a sprinter on the Tigers' track and field team. Last season, Brownell took home first in the 400 meters at the district meet, then finished eighth at the state meet, while also taking third in the dist rict200-meter race.

Bodfish said Brownell will play a major role in the upcoming track and field season, and is looking forward to having her back.

"She's a great athlete, a supportive teammate and is very humble," Bodfish said.

In addition to Brownell's mental toughness, Bodfish said she was impressed with her physical toughness during an unfortunate incident.

"During a track meet in Ontario, Cassie got hit in the head with a discus," Bodfish said."She got back to the meet to cheer on and support her teammates, and was back at the next practice. She is such a tough athlete."

BROWNELL

HERRERA

While Brownell will play an integral role in the La Grande track and field team's upcoming season, she is currently focused on leading the Tiger volleyball squad to reaching its full potential — and believes there are no limits to what the squad can accomplish.

"I really think we can win state," Brownell said.'When we are clicking, no one can stop us. It would mean a whole lot to me to win a state championship. Win or lose, I know I have given it my all, but to be able to put the crown on my senior year would be great."

Brownell said she has been in contact with the Bellevue,

marine biology or health and fitness in college and while volleyball is Brownell h er first love, Brownell said she would like to play both sports in college.

While Brownell knows that the Tigers face a long road to the state finals, she said she enjoys the hard work involved and is up for the challenge.

"I love those points where you have to run all over the court to win it," Brownell said."Not those plays where everythinggoes perfect,but the ones where the ball is about to drop, and you somehow get to it."

"There will be nerves," Herrera said on when he getstoLasVegas."Iget jittery just talking about it.

There are going to be some really big lifters there and it will be very intense. The crowd will want to see big lifters and benches. I'll get in themoment and be ready when it's time."

After undergoing hernia surgery on Aug. 15, Herrera saidhe'smade a fullrecovery and is able to lift more weight since the operation.

During the recovery process, he disobeyed his doctor's orders by bench pressing two weeks after the surgery, but is adamant that he knows when to push his body's limits, and when to tone his workouts down.

"I keep myself alternating between light and heavy days," he said."If I keep pushing myself hard every day, my body won't hold up. The human body is not designed to lift these kinds of weeks."

Herrera, who works in the press room at The Observer, said his goal is to bench 700 pounds and added that he has a very strong support system. He currently provides weightlifting instruction toeight people in his home garage.

"As I train someone, obviously, I'm directly involved and I also want to make sure I train with them one day aweek, letthem know and experience what it's like to take it up a notch," he said."I always say,'Don't be afraidto grow,because that's what's going to happen."'

Eastern Oregon University student Fernando Moreno has worked with Herrera for less than three months, and said he's already seen significant improvements.

He added that Herrera knows how much and when

The protesters, upset that Chief Executive Leung Chunying has refused to meet them, have threatened to expand their demonstrations unless he resigns and the Chineseleadership agrees to broaderelectoralreforms.

The ceremony was held to mark the anniversary of the founding of communist China in 1949, and after the hundredsofprotestersyelled at Leung to step down, they then fell silent and turned their backs when the ceremony began.

Protest leaders were working on their response and it wasn't clear what they planned to do next.

Carmen Gentry checks the stock of food she has for the numerous pantries across the four local pantries. The room that houses the food is particularly full with donated food.

• Community Connection serves 1.2 million pounds of food

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Community Connection of Northeast Oregon, Union County's food bank headquarters, helps feed low-income families in four counties.

Community Connection distributesthefood itreceivesfrom the major donors in the state, including the United States Department of Agriculture, Walmart, Rite Aid, as well as local farmers and families, then distributes it to families in need. Last year, the location sent 1.2 million pounds of food to different pantries located in Grant, Baker, Wallowa and Union counties. The year before they gave away 1.4 million pounds. oWe're an organization that peoplecan feelgood about donating to," said Carmen Gentry, food bank manager.

There are 18 pantries and two backpack services in the four counties, she said.

Of the totalpeoplethefood bank serves, 40 percent are kids, Gentry said.

The food pantries in the four counties are run by volunteers who drive to Community Connection at no expense to the organization.

However, they mostly provide staple items like pasta, peanut butter, dry beans, mashed potatoes, canned fruit,etc. oWe're usually short on canned meat," Gentry said."Just recently, though, we received salmon."

Community Connection has two coolers and one freezer on the property asw ell,she said.

They store the local produce they receive in the coolers until the pantries pick them up.

Families must pass an income guideline to be eligible to take food from the pantries, Gentry said.

They are able to take food from the pantries once a month, and the

amount of food they take is dependent on their household size.

Community Connection is gearing up for a major fundraising event in one month. Every year, itgoesto the localgrocery stores, Safeway, Grocery Outlet and Walmart, and collects donations that day from the community. oWe put the volunteers out in the grocery stores," said Jeff Puckett, who's heading the project. oWe're starting to collect from our corporate sponsors as well."

On Oct. 23, corporations in the area are asked to donate food items. And Nov. 1, the volunteers will be outatthe grocery stores.

ne of theworstplaces any golfer wants to end up is in a sand trap. A good golfer may relish the challenge and usually makes quick work of getting out of trouble, but an amateur can quickly and easily run up their stroke count unless they have spent time practicing and using a strategy to get the ball to a better lie.

Water hazards are a deceiving difficulty. Some golfers lose confidence and perspective when faced with having to hit over a pond or stream.

Natural hazards, like trees and dense vegetation, require consideration and often, decision-making without all known facts available.

The funny thing is that these hazards — sand traps, water, plant life and the "rough" — are not hidden from view; anyone with decent eyesight can see these hazards as they tee off and move downthefairway.

In business, sometimes the hazards are seen but more often than not, they come as a surprise.

Many times the hazards are behind the owner, over groundthought tobe already covered. Picture a water hazard showing up out of nowhere time and time again when you thought you'd alreadydealtwith itsuccessfully.

Sometimes the hazards are on the owner's team, which isdisconcerting because golf is, in fact, a team sport when playedattheprofessional level; it consists of the golfer

and caddy.

I've identified a few traps that an owner is almost certainly going to deal with, and they apply to hackers, golfers and any owner who has spent time at the 19th hole or has watched"Tin Cup" or

"Caddyshack."

WALLOWA COUNTY

Department of Ag board meets in Enterprise

By Katy Nesbitt

Wescom News Serwce

ENTERPRISE — Wallowa County isn't just a destination for hunters, anglers and art lovers.

Last week, the Oregon Department of Agriculture's board and staffbased their fall meeting in Enterprise, with a tour of Upper Wallowa Valley farmland.

The board met last Wednesday with five farmers and ranchers — three of them are part of the "younger" generation continuing a traditional lifestyle on land long managed by their families.

Woody Wolfe, a fifth generation Wallowa County farmer, farms in the Mid-Wallowa Valley. In 2011, he and the Wallowa Land Trust completed an easement along the confluence of the Wallowa

Steve, thought of different ways to purchase it. One of the ways he came up with to raise capital was to sell the development rights.

Though it didn't work out quickly enough to pay back the down payment to the bank, Wolfe said the idea stayed with him. Later he discovered an unusual value to the land while he was working out an easement deal with the Wallowa Land Trust.

"It was during that process that the confluence became a National Historic Site for the Nez Perce — to me that was some of Katy NesbittNVesCom News Service my highest valued ground,"Wolfe Denny Dawson,above, ranches with his son, Joe, in the upper valley in Wallowa County. sald.

Alittle baking doesn't daunt spud crop

By George Plaven East Oregonian

HERMISTON — Watching potatoes tumble down the conveyor belt into storage at Royale Columbia Farms is enough to make Greg Juul a little dizzy.

Inside the two storage units, spuds arepiled 16feethigh over 15,000 square feet each. That's about 8,000 tons of fresh market Russet Norkotahs that will eventually find their way onto supermarket shelves.

Juul, who owns G2 Farming LLC in Hermiston with partner Troy Betz, is anticipating a slightly above-average potatoharvest aswarmer,drierweather helped to jump-start growth in early spring.

While a snap of triple-digit temperaturessuffocated some plants'development in late July, Juul said yields look good — especially among their early seasonvarieties,w hich averaged close to 40tons peracre.Late season pota-

toescould beashigh as 32 tonsper acre, despite the brutalheatacrossthe Columbia Basin. ''We just have a very controlled growing environment, which makes us so productive," Juul said.

Statewide, Oregon harvests nearly 40,000acresofpotatoesperyear.U matilla and Morrow counties account for more than half that total, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

G2 Farming grows about 1,100 acres ofpotatoes divided among four farms around Hermiston. RA Farming, also operated by Juul and Betz, adds another 800 acreson land leased from Madison Ranches in nearby Echo.

Together, they produce about 70 percent of spuds for Bud-Rich Potato, which markets as a member of Basin Gold, a co-op based in Pasco.

Harvest season begins in late June, digging up varieties that will ultimately be sold for making potato chips locally

at Shearer's Foods, Inc. The next wave begins about July 15, with varieties sold for processing into french fiies at ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston.

But the bread and butter at Bud-Rich is still fresh market potatoes, which come alonglastand are stored atthe farms to sell throughout the year.

Excessive hot weather runs the risk ofstressingstoragepotatoesbeforethey finally come out of the gmund, which can lead to arough surface or abnormal shape.

So far, Juul said he likes what he sees. ''We're very fortunate in the Columbia Basin to have control over our irrigation,"he said.'We're very good irrigators."

Bill Brewer, president and CEO of the Oregon Potato Commission, said other regions aren't as lucky. A lack of waterinreservoirshas affected harvest in Malheur County and Klamath Falls, though hestillforecastsbetteryields than a year ago.

FOOD Continued from Page 1B "All of the food collected goes to Community Connection," Puckett said.'The Community Action Network, or CAN, raised 40,000 pounds of donated food last year. That may sound like a lot, but it only lasts for one month here. We appreciate everyone's support in helping out the community."

This is the sixth annual event for CAN, and the volunteers will be out from 10 a.m. to 4p.m. on Nov. 1at the grocery stores in La Grande, Puckett said.

BOARD Continued from Page 1B with the trust on a management plan.

Agriculture Board Chairman Steve Van Mouwerik asked Wolfe what he would coach other ranchers to do when considering an easement.

"It's not something you just go do. It's not abad routeto go,butitis along, arduous process and you better be in it for the long haul,"Wolfe said.

Tom Butterfield farms in the upper valley, as do his children and some ofhis grandchildren. He is also the president of the Associated Ditch Company that manages the Wallowa Lake Dam. The boardismade up ofpresidents offive ditch companies.

Butterfield said the dam irrigates 16,000acres directly.Thedam serves as flood control in early spring during peak run-otf, contributes torecreation for waters sports and fishing and is the city of Joseph's water source.

The Associated Ditch Co. has applied to the Oregon Water Resources Department to increase its storage rights. The

hope is to find water users along the Columbia River to buy it. In turn, ADC would use that money to repair the dam, considered a'high hazard because ofthepotentiallossoflifeand property downstream in the case of a catastrophic flood."

"Since 1979, we've been trying to rehabilitate the dam. It's nearly $1 million for a permit. As farmers, we don't have that kind of money," Butterfield said.

Ifthe application isapproved and a buyer found, Butterfield said 4,200-acre feetwould be sold and 300-acrefeetset aside for fish. Estimates vary widely on how much it will cost to fix the dam, but a ballpark guess right now is $15 million.

Rod Childers ranches on private and public land in the upper Wallowa Valley and on Lower Joseph Creek in the northern part of the county. He, his wife and toddler moved to Eastern Oregon fiom Idaho in 1977. He served as the Oregon Cattlemen's Association wolf committee chairman for seven years and is still an advocate of the ranching industry through the Wallowa County Stockgrowers and the OCA.

the same family who comes multiple times to the pantry.

Numbers usually fluctuate, she said. The number usually goes up in the winter and down in the summer. An average family, she said, comes to the pantry six times per year.

Gentry said Community Connection accepts donations any time at their locationand not just food items. They take all kinds of toiletries and items that are always needed in a household.

Childers said known livestock kills by wolves in Eastern Oregon started in 2009 in Baker County. By the spring of 2010, the Imnaha pack was killing livestock in the Wallowa Valley. At that time, Defenders of Wildlife had been compensating ranchers for livestock lossto wolves for25years.A yearlater that program ended, leaving ranchers in Oregon with no recompense for losses to wolves.

Legislation passed in 2011 freed up stateand federal money for distribution to ranchers with proven livestock loss to wolves. By the end of that year, Oregon Department of Agriculture stafFhad written rules for the compensation plan and by early 2012 ranchers were being paid for their confirmed losses.

"I want to commend Wallowa County," Lauren Henderson, assistant ODA director, said. 'They really have worked very hard as a group. We've used them as a model for the other counties."

KELLER Continued from Page 1B and temperature can play a key factor as well as the individuals in the two-some or four-some.

The owner who thinks nothing is going to change in their world is simply delusional. Yet I know owners who still operate their business like it was 1965.

The second difficulty is in golf; thecourse provides an idea ofleading indicators by hole. This is called par, and each hole is calculated to determine how many strokes it should take a solid golfer to get from the tee to the hole.

Unfortunately, many

owners lack any meaningful leading indicators, so instead they pour over past performance in the hope of getting a clue as to what the future looks like.

As an example, if sales have been declining or remained flat the last few years, results might be projected to continue along that trend.

On the other hand, if a quantifiable sales plan was laid out, by month, for the next year or two, with targets and business development people assigned to each prospect, the future might turn out differently than the past.

Yet, how many owners have a sales plan to hold peopleaccountable for achieving? It is not a rhetori-

HUG

cal question.

The third tough lie is that in golf ,itispretty apparent who is following you around the course.

The bignames, like Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, have a healthyflock behind them at everyhole. The fans ate visible and pretty supportive.

In business, the owner is never sure who is playing with, or against them. It sometimesappears that every employee has their own agendaand often itisatodds with the owner.

I can't tell you how many times I have seen nodding heads around a meeting table and within an hour, every commitment made has beenforgotten orignored.

Owners need to carefully note who is just following and who is supportive becausethe difference issuccess or failure.

Golf is a lot like business; you have limited resources to achievethesame goal as your competition. In the end, it is the attitude and approach of the owner to determinewhat number appears on his or her scorecard.

The number is determined by how you play, every day, with your team.

By Craig Schneider The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATLANTA — A Texas hospital is treating the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, and the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working to prevent any spread of the deadly virus, federal health officials announced Tuesday.

The patient, a man, arrived in the United States from Liberia Sept. 20, and later began showing Ebola symptoms.

Health officials said they are confident the virus will be contained. But they acknowledged that as long as the outbreak, which has killed more than 3,000 people, continues in West Africa, therisk remains ofcases emerging in the U.S. "I have no doubt we will controlthiscaseofEbola, so it will not spread widely in this country," Dr. Thomas Frieden, head of the CDC, said during a news conference. At the same time, he cautioned that in today's world, "ultimately we are all connected."

The man — whom officials declined to identify, citing privacy concerns — showed no symptoms when departing Liberia or during the flight, officials said. They said he developed symptoms last Wednesday after arriving in Dallas and was hospitalized Sunday at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.

Texas health workers, aided by a CDC team dispatched Tuesday morning, have alreadybegun identify-

Ebola is spread only through direct contact with an infected person's bodily fluids. A person is not contagious until they begin showing symptoms.

Thus officials do not believepassengers on theplane from Liberia were at risk of infection. The man had been screened for fever before boarding, which has become a regular practice in Liberia since the outbreak. He was not yet sick and infectious.

'There is zero risk of transmission on the plane," Frieden said.

The CDC team includes experts in contagious diseases, lab work, hospital infection control and communications. They will help Texas workers trace the man's movements, activities and close contacts in the days since arriving in this country.
