TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT On October 14, 1890, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th president of the United States, was born in Texas.

ONTHIS DATE In 1912, former PresidentTheodore Roosevelt, campaigning for the White House as the Progressive candidate, went ahead with a speechin M ilwaukee after being shot in the chest

by New York saloonkeeper John Schrank, declaring, "It takes more than one bullet to kill a bull moose."

In1939, a German Uboat torpedoed and sank the HMS RoyalOak, a British battleship anchored at Scapa Flow in Scotland's Orkney Islands; 833 of the more than 1,200 men aboard were killed.

In 1944, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel committed suicide rather than face trial and certain execution for allegedly conspiring againstAdolf Hitler.

In 1947, Air Force test pilot Charles E. ("Chuck") Yeager broke the sound barrier as he flew the experimental Bell XS-1 (later X-1) rocket plane over Muroc Dry Lake in California.

In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy suggested the idea of a Peace Corps while addressing an audience of students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

In 1987, a 58-hour drama began in Midland,Texas,as 18-month-old Jessica McClure slid 22 feet down an abandoned well at a private day care center; she was rescued on Oct. 16.

Many items were sold during a silent and live auction last weekend at the La Grande Mavericks Riding Club grounds to benefit a man with one of the most generous hearts in the Grande Ronde Valley.

The auctions were a fundraiser for Al "Alfie" Peterson, a man now sidelined with health issues. All of the proceeds from the weekend's auction and a benefit team roping competition, conducted at the Mavericks' arena just north of the Union County Fairgrounds, will go to help Peterson with medical expenses.

QUOTE OFTHE DAY "If a problem cannot be solved, enlarge it."

in

in September following a revisedgain of3 500in August, the state announced on Tuesday. This was the first decline in 36 months, dating back to September 2012 when employmentdropped by 1,100. The loss of more than 5,000 jobs in a single month is a rare occurrence during the last six years.

The September jobsreport indicates thatOregon'soverthe-year job growth, while stmng, has slowed. Between September2014 and September2015,payrollemployment expanded by49,500jobs, or 2.9 percent. This is amluction from the 3.5 percentjob-growlh rate seen thmughAugust.

The decline in September was spread across eight broad industry groups. Four industries particularly contributed to the decline in jobs this September — construction, retail trade, professional and businessservicesand leisure and hospitality. These industries— and othersthatlost smaller amounts — have generally been on either an"up and down" pattern in recent months, or on a long-term growth path. So September's declines should be viewed in the context of a strong over-theyear performance of Oregon's payroll employment, according to the state.

Even with declines in many industries, two industries continued to expand in September — government, which includes public education, added 1,300 jobs and health care and social assistance added 800.

Summerville man injured while hunting

By Chris Collins An 83-year-old Summerville man was listed in stable condition today at Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Walla Walla, Washington, where he is being treated for injuries sustained in a fall while hunting in the Dooley Mountain area Tuesday.

Jack Krieger rolled down a steep mountainside after falling Tuesday morning, Baker County Sheriff Travis Ash said in a press release.

Jack's son, David Krieger, 54, of Irrigon, reportedthe accident at8:16 a.m. Tuesday.

Seven members of the Baker County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team responded to the call for help along with one sheriff's deputy and a Baker City Fire Department ambulance crew.

The Kriegers were hunting near the Skyline Road, Forest Road 11, about 2 miles east of Dooley Mountain summit, near the head of Beaver Creek, said

Chris Galiszewski, coordinator of the Search and Rescue Team.

Jack Krieger was hunting just south of the Skyline Road, on a steep slope that burned in the Cornet fire in August, when he slipped and fell.

Rescuers reached him about 9:10 a.m., approximately 200 verticalfeet below the Skyline Road.

Galiszewski said rescuers loaded Krieger onto a one-wheel litter and hauled him, via an old road, to the site where a Life Flight helicopter landed.

The Baker City Council approved a new contract with City Manager Mike Kee on Tuesday.

Kee, 57, who has been city manager since September 2010, will officiallyretire Nov. 1.

But the new contract will allow him to continue as manager another six months, through April 29.

The six-month contract, which Kee proposed, saves

the city nearly $2,000per

'The council could choose to use that money for the search of a new city manager."

"So, basically, the whole reason then for retiring now and then being hired on a contract for another six months is so that you can put in for your retirement six months early?" Langrell sald.

Kee said it really doesn't have anything to do with his retirement and that the council would see no difference except that they wouldn't be paying into his

Kee also will help the city recruit hisreplacement.

Sharon Kirkham, left, and Kristapher Yates, right, visit a memorial on campus Oct. 5 in the aftermath of the Umpqua Community College mass shooting in Roseburg.

RESPONSE Continued ~om Page1A District Attorney Kelsie McDaniel said Victim Assistance Program Director Valerie Schlichting and Victim Assistance Advocate Megan Browne left for Roseburg just two hours after the massacre.

"Schlichting and Browne worked directly with families of the deceased victimstogetthem the servicesand support that they need during this difficult time," she said.

Schlichting and Browne said they have never responded toa situation as tragic as in Roseburg.

"In this type of situation, our job is to protectthosevictims' rightsand meet their immediate needs," Schlichting said by email. aWe strive to make sure victims understand the services that are available to them, their rights and that they understand the criminal justiceprocess.In atragicjtrauma event like this our services are much more centered around the immediate needs of the families/victims and less on the criminal justice process."

Rather, she said, the focus is on "makingreferralsfor appropriate services such as counseling, providing support and making sure the families are set up with programs such as

Crime Victim Compensation."

McDaniel said she is "extremely proud" ofher stafF, who stayed in Roseburg a couple days following the shooting. cWe have skilled stafFthat is trained to deal with victim's needs and they stepped up without hesitation," she said."I'm glad that the DA's office can send such wonderful preventatives of Union County to help."

The Oregon State Police have also been sending over people.

Sgt. Kyle Hove, who spoke by phone from Roseburg last week, said he was helping from afar since the shooting.

On Oct. 5, he was sent to Roseburg to spend the workweek with the public information officer at a joint information center.

More people arrived last Thursday, and more were set to arrive in Roseburg Monday, Hove said.

"Everyone is doing their part in whatever expertise they do," he said.

Hove was part of the public information team.

"Our goal is to help families if they want to talk to the media," he said.

They have also been sending out pressreleasessince the deadly shooting. cWe have everybody from the FBI to difFerent fire agencies, all kinds of differentagencies, "Hove said."It'sincredible right now. There's such a strong

Hove said he worked long days last week, about 12 hours a day.

The community, though, has voiced itsthanks to police and otherresponders. Hove said he went in uniform to Safeway one night to grab some dinner and was approached by three or four people thanking him.

'Thereare a lotofpeoplewho are very gracious for our presence here right now," he said.

Dwight Dill, executive director of the Center for Human Developmentin La Grande, said he has offered help to the citizens of Roseburg, although they have not yet been needed.

Diii was in a meeting of the Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc. board when they all learned of the shooting; Roseburg's own mental health director was also at the Astoria meeting, he said. aWe were all in shock and a little in disbelief and all wanting to reach out and support her," Dill said."It's something none of us want — to get that call."

Although CHD hasn't been taken up on offers of support, Dill said his stafF would still respond if the need arises.

'That offer is open," he said.

"This is a facility we're very proud of," Davidson said."This will serve the community for decades to come."

Reynolds added that most ofthecontractorswere local businesses, except for a couple steps along the way when particular services were not available in the area.

The building will feature two 1,700-square-foot courtrooms, but, Davidson said, one of the most important features of the building, and one of the main reasons for the building's location, is the 50-foot secure entryway from the

Union County Jail to the courthouse. Inmates can be taken directly from the jail through the door where they will go into a room and be housed securely, with a police officer, until their trial begins.

Davidson reported that there hasn't been a need for any change order or unforeseen things coming up during construction so the project is moving along successfully.

REBECCAICING

Immersion into hunting season T he conversationstarted like this: "I'm going hunting next week. I got a buck tag."

I stared at my co-worker, and fiiend, blankly.

"A buck tag," she said.'You know, a deer."

"Oh, OK," I said, comprehension dawning slowly in my eyes."Good for you. I hope you catch something!"

Now it was her turn to look confused."Becky, you don't catch a deer or an elk.

You kill them."

"How about a beer? Do you catch or kill a beer?" il don't drink, so I thought this would be funny to her. Needless to say, she did not laugh and instead ignored me.l And thus I received my introduction to hunting in Wallowa County. And, no, I didn't get my own tag and I didn't go out with anyone else. Maybe next year, but right now I am still working on adjusting myself to country life.

I am not, and have never been, against hunting.

Mostly because my Wallowa Countygrandfather would bring us venison for breakfast every Christmas morning.

But alotofcity folksare strongly against hunting for reasons that have nothing to do with guns and more to do with killing Bambi.

My opinion is that any person who eats beef should not have any major objection to killing elk or deer. In addition, hunting isn't all sport for everybody who hunts.

Many people here in Wallowa County depend on the meat they get &om hunting to make it through the winter.

My fiiendand co-worker — the same fiiend who clarified my mistake about catching deer— posted apicture of her buck on Facebook.

Surprisingly, she honored the buck that she had killed and wrote about mindfulness and and respect for the deer. The only thing that I wanted to add was "Take that, Ricky Gervais!" iHe has been on the warpath against hunters oflate).

Of course, not everyone is as respectful to the animals they kill, but I would like to take an educated guess and say that the majority ofhunters are extremely grateful for and the meat that they provide.

Another friend couldn't show me his buck — it was already delivered to the butcher — but he did still have the head. So, I had the opportunity to view the buck's decapitated head while it was still bloody at the neck; it was the first deer head I had seen not mounted on a wall.

Just so you know, that did not change my opinion of the hunting contingent either.

Meat is meat.

My advice to urban dwellers is to get to know some locals in rural communities and learn &om them. You might not be as against hunting as you think you are.

Lostine's Founder's Day continues long tradition with new addition

By Rebecca King ForThe Observer

Lostine is a small, pristine town that is familiar to everyresident ofW allowa County, mainly as the residents pass through town on the way to Enterprise &om Wallowa. But with a newly renovated Lostine Tavern and other changes, the quaint town has taken steps to both celebrate itself and show it off to the rest of the county.

June Colony of Lostine started Lostine Founder's Day as June's Local Market Fall Harvest Festival. Since she startedthefestival, the times have changed significantly in Lostine. She changed the name of the small festival to Lostine Founder's Day with the help of some of those in the community.

Lostine was founded in October at some point in the 1870s. Because of the fall date, Colony wanted to honor that time with a fall festival in October around harvest time. Colony was inspired to change the original name &om June's Local Market Fall Harvest Festival to Lostine Founder's Day because of a book written by Irene Locke Barklow, which Colony claims "does such a great job of explaining the founding of Lostine." She appearedtobeim pressed with the timing of the founding of the town.

The junior threw for 108 yards while rushing for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the Mountaineers' 28-21 win over Carroll College Saturday.

Miller's play nets CCC honor After delivering 50 kills in 10 sets during a 3-0 week for Eastern Oregon University, outside hitter Amanda Miller received her first-ever Cascade Collegiate Conference award when the conference named her the attacker of the week.

In a win over Corban University Saturday, Miller earned a career high for kills in a three-set match with 17.

Observer staff

Last year's Eastern Oregon University volleyball team featured firstteam NAIAAll-American middle hitter Casey Loper, who etched her name all over Eastern's record book, and thirdteam All-American libero Jessalyn Smith, who broke a school record for digs in a season.

While both were great players, the engine behind the Mountaineers' drive to the NAIA National Championship Tournament mayhave been someone who's still patrolling the court this season — setter Rachelle Chamberlain.

"Huge," Eastern head coach Kaki McLean-Morehead said of Chamberlain's impact on the team."She is the reason that we made it to the national tournament last year, because she can distribute the ball so well and so evenly, and she's just consistent."

Consistently terrific is more like it.

After a 2014 campaign in which Chamberlain set a single-season Mountie record with 1,437 assists, which earned her an honorable mention AllAmerican award, the junior is fresh off another personal milestone.

In just her second season after transferring from the University of Montana-Western, Chamberlain became theall-time leader forthe school in assists during an Oct. 6 win over College ofIdaho,breaking Jessica Lea's m ark of 2,073 assistssetin 2011.

"It's not always just about setting a settable ball with her," McLean-Morehead said."She does a lot of the behind the scenes stuff. She deceives the blockers so those hitters have one on ones.

It makes it look a lot easier than it is, becauseshe'ssofasttoread theball and know where it's going."

Chamberlain is far from a one-trick

Blaine Kreutz scored two goals, Ryan Adams added a late penalty kick, and the La Grande boys soccer team tightened its grip on first place in the Greater Oregon League with a 3-1 road victory Tuesday against McLoughlin. aMac-Hi is always tough, especially at home," La Grande coach Wade Wright said."It was really good to get a win."

Kreutz scored the only goal of the first half in the 13th minute, then put the Tigers up 2-0 with a second goaljust40 seconds into the second half. The Pioneers cut into the lead later in the half, but Adams iced the win as the Tigers eliminated the Pioneers from any possibility of claiming the GOL title for the 12th year in a row.

oseph's Mr. Versatili has been vital for Eagles

By Ronald Bond The Observer

When a team is limited on the number of players athand,having those who can step into any role is a huge asset.

It also doesn't hurt if one of those players brings an immense amount of talent to the field.

Joseph running back Cayden DeLury has taken both versatility and talent to the next level, becoming the centerpieceofthe Eaglesoffense in 2015.

He not only leads the offense, but has the ability to play any position necessary. He has already seen time at running back, quarterback and receiver this year, and during his time at Joseph has had a brief stint as a tight end.

"I've always kind of done that," he saidofplaying a range ofpositions. ''When I first came to high school, I wouldn't always play running back.

I've jumped around a little bit."

In spite of the movement, running back has become his primary position during his time with the Eagles, and for good reason. The junior has accounted for 14 touchdowns and more

than 800 yards rushing this season and has already put together three 200-yard games.

"He's obviously got some natural ability," head coach Toby Koehn said.

"He's quick and he's fast and intelligent. You put those three things together with the work ethic, that's usually going to be a successful

package."

He's been able to have success wherever he's lined up on the field this year, a fact made most obvious in the Eagles' Sept. 25 shootout with c"ih ' "rr Powder Valley.

Joseph entered that game without starting quarterback Sam Beckman available due to injury, so DeLury filled the role.

And did he ever step up.

Though the Eagles fell 62-60, DeLury turned in one of the top performances of the season. On the ground, he amassed 270 yards and rushed for five touchdowns. Through the air, he passedfor an additional 127 yards and three touchdowns for a combined 397 yards and eight scores.

DELURY Continued from Page7A return for a touchdown, and DeLury has accounted for 21 touchdowns five diferent ways this season.

"Really, I want to do what I have to do to help the team win," he said.

That starts with him not only putting in the needed effort, but also understanding the game.

"He knows every position on the field and the requirement of every position on the field," Koehn said.

DeLury said a big reason for studying each spot stems back to necessity with the low number of players on the team — Joseph has just 13 available players.

"It's mostly being able to fill those gaps and paying attention to everybody else in practice," he said ofhow he learns the various positions.'You obviously have to know more than one position to be successful."

In addition to the hard work and study, he has also developed into aleaderfor ayoung Eagles squad that is made up primarily of underclassmen.

"He's the hardest working kid during practice," Koehn said."He's positive and he supports all the kids on the team. He just does a greatjob asfarasbeing a leaderon thefi eld through the way he models his work ethic."

DeLury says he tries to lead by example, though he can speak up and be vocal when needed.

"I try to do both," he said."Definitelyin the first half of a game I'll say something in a

spoRTs huddle to go out with some fire and the rest of the way lead by example a little bit."

He also carries himself with humility, demonstrated in not only how quick he is to deflect credit for successes and include the team in them, but in how he backed an idea to put the team first each game.

Before the season started, the players and coachesdiscussed the prospectofthe team beingintroduced as a collectiveunitrather than individuals before each game.

DeLury was immediately on board with the idea.

"He had no hesitation that we wanted to be introduced as a team," Koehn said.'There are no individuals. We have so few kids ithatl every kid is important. There was no hesitation. It's about everybody."

DeLury said his focus is on working to improve from game to game, to help the team win and to hopefully, one day, take Joseph where the Eagles haven't been since 2011 — the Oregon School Activities Association Class 1A state playoffs.

"I want to go to the playoffs at some point in my high school career," he said.

Joseph is currently in a three-way tie for second in the Old Oregon League, so the Eagles are in the hunt to break that streak.

But even if the Eagles fall short this fall, they return nearly each player, including DeLury, for the 2016 season.

With him at the center of a tight knit group, the future is definitely bright for Joseph — a fact Koehn is very happy about. aWe get everybody next year except for one kid iwho's currently playing)," Koehn said.

"I'm excited about that."

PACE DURING FARM TO SCHOOL MONTH • State support forfarm to school activities leads the United States Wescom News Servicestaff

While the United States celebratesNational Farm to School Month in October, Oregon finds itself at the front of the line in supporting programs that provide healthy, nutritious and locally-grown foods to children.

With tremendous support from the Oregon Legislature, every school district in Oregon has an opportunity to be reimbursed for serving kids Oregon grown and processed foods. That is unprecedentedamong allstatesand fortifies Oregon's standing as a national leader in the farm to school movement.

cWith the passing oflegislation this recent session, every school in Oregon participating in the National School Lunch Program that opts into the Farm to School and School Garden Grant Program will be eligible for reimbursement," said Amy Gilroy, Farm to School program manager with the Oregon Department of Agriculture."Our local leaders love farm to school and are committed to it. They believe it's a huge benefit to the Oregon agricultural economy and a great way to connect kids with where their food is grown."

Legislators nearly quadrupled thestate'sfarm toschoolbudget, providing $4.5 million over the biennium with $3.5 million dedicatedforprocurement by school districts of Oregon grown and processed foods. The balance of the funds will be used for a

sss a a

competitive grant program for agriculture orfood-based educational opportunities.

With school back in session, a majority of Oregon school districts have opted to participate in ordertoreceivereimbursement.

Previously, Oregon was capable of funding about 10 percent of all school districts. Now every district opting in to the Farm to School Procurement Program will be funded.

"Sixty-six percent have opted to participate, accounting for about90 percent ofallschool lunches served," Gilroy said."A few smaller districts have chosen not to opt in but will have an opportunity next year. Working with the Oregon Department of Education, we will get them comfortable with enrolling into the reimbursementprogram, making sure they have the resources they

need."

School districts that optin agree to purchase Oregon food products and are reimbursed up to a certain amount determined by a specific formula. The reimbursement can go for purchase oflocal foodsused forlunch, breakfast, summer meals and after school snacks.

The investment made by the Legislature is good news to schools and the grower community. Part of ODA's efforts will be to expand the linkage between the two and help districts know thelocalfarmers.

"A lot of our distributors actually offer quite a bit oflocal products, "Gilroy said.eWe will be working with our producers, distributors and vendors in Oregon to make sure school districts know what's being grown locally, SeePace / Page 2B

WICHITA, Kan.— Health-conscious consumers might be persuaded to eat more beef if it was fortified with hearthealthy omega-3 fatty acids naturally found in salmon and walnuts, according to researchers and some ranchers who are feeding cattle flaxseed — even marine algae — with an eye to offering another wholesome dinner choice.

Establishing the relationships between schools and their local farming community is key for more than just the purchase oflocal foods. The educational component of farm to school relies on the connections as well. The approximate $900,000 in state funds for a competitive grant program will help kids understand and appreciate what it takes to grow food.

"It's about getting kids interested in agriculture," Gilroy said.cWereally can't expect kids to just choose a healthy local foodevery day atlunch.They need tobe educated about the benefits, what it is, how it's grown, and they need to have their own experiences with it. So having them out in the school garden, taking them on field trips to the farm where they can observe — those things are very important."

Beefproduced &om cattlethat eat algae contains more of the EPA and DHA fatty acids than cattle fed only flaxseed, Drouillard said.

All told, it may not raise consumer prices more than 15 to 20 cents a pound extra according to Bernie Hansen, founder of GreatO Premium Foods. He saidthe added costsoffatteninglivestock on flaxseed-based rations would be m ostly offsetby thelowercostsofraising animals that are healthier and need fewer antibiotics.

The Manhattan, Kansas-based company, which for 14 years has researched how to produce omega-3 enhanced beef using flaxseed at an economically viable price, is test-marketing its fortified ground beef in 50 HEB supermarkets in Texas. When the trial began almost seven months ago, HEB was ordering about 100 cases every two weeks, each containing a dozen 1-pound packages of the omega-3 enriched beef. The response &om shoppers was so good that within six months HEB increased its order to 400 cases, Hansen said.

GreatO also sells its flaxseed-fattened beef to Timber Ridge Cattle, an Iowa company that makes beef sticks and suppliesomega-3 enriched steaks to some restaurants, including HoQ Restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa.

"That was a key tenet store on Saturday.

But Terry Cooper, 36, was skeptical, adding that the university might have an"uphill battle" persuading people to eat more beef."The reality is we all eat more junk food ... but we think we should eat healthy," Cooper said.

Algae contains the omega-3 type fatty acids known as eicosapentaenoic acid iEPAl and docosahexaenoic acid iDHAl, both of which nutrition experts say people should consume at least 250 m g per day because oftheirprotective effects on the heart; DHA is also associated with infant brain development.

A third omega-3 type is alpha-linoleic acid iALAl, which is abundant in flaxseed.

Ground beef &om cattle that eat grass, a natural source of omega-3s, contains about 20 to 30 mgin a 5-ounce serving.That increasesto atleast200 mg per 5-ounce serving when cattle are fed algae or flaxseed rations, Kansas State researcher Jim Drouillard said.

Other omega-3 fortified foods are commercially available — such as eggs, bacon and chicken. Yet salmon is king, providing 10 times the amount of omega-3s than enriched beef productsat least 2,000 mgin a 5-ounce serving.

Cost comes into play when making omega-3 fortified beef more widely available. Researchers are examining whether algae is an economically feasible

Whitbeck said he continues to evaluate the area's need when it comes to inventory and changing what's in the store.

Still, he said, he wants to make things easy for shoppers.

"Many dist ricts arecelebrating farm to school in some way. A lot of them will be serving meals made with local foods that everyone can enjoy," she said.

"It's a wonderful time for Oregonians to go have lunch with their children or nieces and nephews. There are plenty of seasonal fruits and vegetables available this time of year as well. I encourage people to check with their local school districts to see what is happening in October."

With a boost from the Legislature, Oregon is the most well-funded state for farm to school efforts. But the momentum has been building for several years and thereis stillroom to grow.

"Oregon's successful model for farm to school is comprehensive — sourcing local Oregon products,providing gardenbased nutrition education, and including family engagement components," Gilroy said."Our program aims to improve opportunities for producers and healthful food options for kids. It's worth celebrating."

With other states looking to Oregon, there is no disputing Oregon's farm to school leadership role.

A Netherlands-led investigation concluded Tuesday that a missile from a Russia-made Buk weapons system brought down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine last year. instantly, the Dutch Safety Board said. That finding probably brought comfort to victims' relati ves,wh ofeared thatsome oftheirloved ones might have been conscious as they plummeted tens of thousands of feet to their deaths.

The crash report blamed Ukraine's governm ent for failingtoclosetheairspace above the eastern part of the country while an armed conflict was underway in the area.

The investi gation did notaddress thecrucial question of who fired the surface-to-air rocket, which is the subject of a separate inquiry due to publish its findings this year or in early 2016.

Still, Moscow swiftly went into spin mode to try to deflect blame from Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine who manyin the West say were clearly responsible for the disaster on July 17, 2014, over territory they control.

Hours before the Dutch report was released Tuesday afternoon, a state-controlled missilemaker in Russia said its own investigation showed that damage patterns to the downed planecould nothavebeen made by weapons currently found in Moscow's arsenal and that the missile was fired from an area under the control of Ukrainian government forces, not the separatists.

The Russian and Ukrainian militaries have Buk missile systems, but the Almaz-Antey arms maker said the kind of missile implicated in the attack on MH17 was an older model that Russia no longer uses.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also dismissed the report as flawed, theAssociated Pressreported,saying thatthe "attempt to make a biased conclusion, in essence to carry out a political order, is obvious."

In Washington, the White House welcomed the investigation report as "an important milestone" in bringing those behind the rocketattack tojustice.Ned Price,a spokesman for the National Security Council, said the United States remained convinced that the separatistswere responsible.

"Our assessment is unchanged: MH17 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired from separati st-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine," Price said in a statement.

Tjibbe Joustra, chairman of the Dutch Safety Board, presented the investigation's findings at a news conference at Gilze-Rijen Air Force Base in the Netherlands, where a partial reconstruction of the front of the downed airliner, piecedtogether from wreckage recovered from the crash site, was dramatically unveiled.

Joustra said the missile detonated within about3feetofthe cockpit,justaboveand to the left of the nose of the Boeing 777. Microphones around the cockpit picked up a"sound peak" in the last milliseconds before the recordings went silent, which allowed analysts to determine where the explosion occurred.

Bits of cubic and bow-tie-shaped shrapnel penetrated the plane and were found embedded in the bodies of the three crew members in the cockpit, who were killed instantly, Joustra said.
