VETERANS' ADMINISTRATION

• VA transitioning to more local clinics to reduce travel burdens on veteran population

By Kelly Black ForThe Observer

WALLA WALLA, Washington — The latest trend in veteran health care may leave the Veterans'Administration cutting the check. ''We purchase a lot of care," said Brian Westfieldd, director of the Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla, Washington.

The VA is transitioning from a regional, hospital-centric system, which placedthe burden oftravelon veterans, to aprimary care driven system facil-

ity located within local communities. ''We arereally focused on access,"said Westfield."It means you don't have to travel to Spokane, Washington, or Boise, Idaho, to get care."

In August 2014, Congress passed the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act, often called Veterans Choice, which expands the opportunity for qualifying veterans to getpurchased care in their communities.

The story of the Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla mirrors larger trends within the VA system.

Threatened with closure in 2004, the Walla Walla VA discontinued many of its inpatient hospital

programs. The new mission was to create accesspointsforveterans seeking health care within the region. The Walla Walla VA openedfi ve community-based outpatient clinics, including one in La Grande in 2009, and two tele-health clinics, one of which is located in Enterprise.

The Walla Walla VA also began working with the Umatilla, Nez Perce and Yakama tribes to provide VA-supported care at local tribal clinics.

Today, only 40 percent of patients are seen at the Walla Walla campus. The other60 percent receivecarein regional clinics. Additionally, one third of the budget is spent on purchasing care.

The group trying to regulatecommissioner term limits can begin collecting signatures county-wide beginning today.

The Union County Citizens for Good Government, which in 2013 successfully petitioned to have nonpartisancandidates,ison the move again, working at limiting commissioners' terms to no more than eight years, or two terms.

Jim Mollerstrom, one of the original members of UCCGG, announced at the group's meeting Tuesday morning that they can begin going around the county to collectsignaturesbecause no one challenged the wording of the measure in circuit court.

Escort Katina Powell broke her silence on Tuesday, saying she has no proof that Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino knew that a formerCardinals staffer hired her and other dancers to strip and have sex with formerrecruitsand players.

But Powell said in an interview initially aired on ABC's "Good Morning America"that with"a boatload"of recruits and dancers, "loud music, alcohol, security, cameras" in a campus dormitory, "how could Rick not know?"

In her first interview sincethe releaseofher book earlier this month, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," Powell spoke with ESPN's "Outside the Lines," part of which was aired on the ABC morning show and all day on the sports network.

Powell said that the coach had tobe aware ofsome of22 shows she alleges that former staffer Andre McGee paid her for that took place in Billy Minardi Hall from 2010-14.

Pitino has denied knowledge of theactivitiesthat Powell alleges in her book.

Former Cardinals recruit JaQuan Lyle, now an Ohio State &eshman, has confirmed the"gist of allegations" detailed in Powell's book during a meeting earlier this month with the NCAA, CBS Sports reported. OSU confirmed that Lyle spoke with the NCAA. Powell alleges that McGee, who played for Louisville beforebecoming agraduate assistantcoach and directorof m en's basketballoperations,

paid her $10,000 for the 22 shows. The dancers included Powell, her three daughters and other women, according to the book.

"Andre would come to me and tell me what girl the

recruit wanted," Powell said Tuesday morning in the broadcast of the ESPN interview,"and I would tell the girl. She would say her price, I would tell him, he would say,'OK, give me the money.

That was just it.

"He would take them into another room, and her and the recruit would do what they didbehind closed doors."

McGee left Louisville in 2014 to become an assistant at Missouri-Kansas City.

The school placed him on paid administrative leave on Oct. 2 when the allegations surfacedand said itistaking them seriously.

Louisville men's basketball spokesman Kenny Klein said in a text message Tuesday that"topreserve theintegrity ofthereview process,the university will withhold comment on any details until the review is concluded."

But Wagar said the biggest improvement he's seen this fall is her commitment to the defensive end.

"She's been brilliant in that area," he said.'With her work rate of hustling back to midfield and winning the ball defensively, we couldn't ask for more from her."

The reason Wagar is aware ofher improvements from last year is because Schuder was one of three Mounties who came to La Grande &om New Mexico Highlands, where Wagar coached last seasonpriortobeing hired asEastern's coach. It wasn't set in stone, though, that Schuder would follow Wagar to Eastern.

Schuder signed to Highlands out of Penticton, British Columbia, Canada, but decided to make the difficult choice to transfer following her junior campaign. She said originally she was looking at playing in Canada this season, but there weren't a whole lot of scholarship opportunities for her north of the border.

So she began contacting schools in Washington and Oregon, and the familiarity with Wagar eventually became one of thedeciding factors.

"He's a good coach, and I already knew how he liked to run practices and what kind of game he likes to play," Schuder said."I could help other girls that were coming in and keep the program going after this year. Plus, I'm closerto home, too."

Wagar, understandably, was ecstatic to be able to coach Schuder another season.

Seahawks at crossroads after loss The Associated Press

NFL

When Pete Carroll struggled as a head coach during his first stint in the NFL, and when Southern California was in its rebuilding phase during his early years in Los Angeles, therewas a talentgap that explained some of the shortcomings.

Thatis why Carroll, above all others in the Seattle Seahawks hierarchy, is struggling to understand where his current team stands now.

A team with starting talent the envy ofm anyin the NFL could at 2-4 be arguably the biggest disappointmentin the league through the first six weeks.

"I haven't really been in this kind of situation with a really good team where it felt so much diferent and the results are flipping," Carroll said.

The Seahawks sit at a crossroads headed into Thursday's game at San Francisco, beginning a critical two-week stretch that will determine where thisseason goes.Seattle is already facing long odds to reach itsgoalof making the playoffs. Only 8 percentofteams since 1990 that have started 2-4 ended up playing in the postseason.

There's no panic in Seattle's locker room now. That could change by the end of the weekif theylose at San Francisco on Thursday. ''We can only get better.

I don't think our season will keep going like this where we keep giving them games like this. It's not in our DNA," linebacker K.J. Wright said.'We're going to turn it around."

The reasons that Seattle is in this position are plentiful, &om missed assignments to a few key injuries to alack ofdepth atsome positions and perhaps a few too many distractions.

From a purely football standpoint, Seattle's top issue is an offensive line that seemed an afterthought in the Seahawks'roster construction and has left Russell Wilson scrambling

The absence of center Max Unger, now in New Orleans, has loomed larger than the presence of tight end Jimmy Grahamthe two key figures in an otfseason swap between the Saints and Seahawks. Graham might have 29 catches, but Wilson is on pace for nearly 70 sacks.

There are the fourth-quarter meltdowns, especially the past two weeks in losses to Gncinnati and Carolina when the Seahawks' vaunted defense has been picked apart. Instead of coming through with clutch plays, the Seahawks have been left asking questions about why glaring mistakes are being made in the closing minutes. ''We're not perfect. Like I said, the last couple of years we could've been on diferent pages and been getting away with that," linebacker Bruce Irvin said.

"But this year, it's bitten us in the butt twice."

Seattle's also lacking depth atter a slow drain that followed its title in 2013.

Players have capitalized on their success in Seattle and cashed in elsewhere. So have assistant coaches moving up the ranks by leaving for other teams.

And there is the question of fatigue, both physical and emotional. Is that drive still there for a team that's played more games than any other the past two seasons? Has seeing allitstop starsreceivethat important second contract caused a letdown? Did reaching the pinnacle of the league once and having a second title snatched away in crushing fashion leave the Seahawks drained?

Perhaps that's what Earl Thomas meant this week, sayinghe believed there were dist ractions. ''We'regoing tooutlast this," Thomas said."These situations, they're not going to break us."

Besides the way the returning Mountie players embraced her, an important aspect that helped smooth Schuder's transition was that two Highlands' teammates, junior defender Lisa Clausen and senior defender Allison Jordan, came to Eastern, as well.

PORTLAND — An Oregon woman fatally stabbed her husband during a visit to the veterans' home where he had been living, the authorities said.

Esther Wilkerson, 70, of Happy Valley, made an initial court appearance Monday on charges of m urder and unlawful use of a weapon. Her husband, 67-year-old James Wilkerson, was killed Sunday at the Oregon Veterans' Home in The Dalles, where patientsreceive24-hour, long-term skilled nursing and rehabilitative care.

THE DALLES — A woman is facing theft charges in connection to 4 cows that went missing from a farm in Wasco County.

KOIN-TV reported that Elizabeth Ann Turner was arrested last week and has been charged with four counts of first-degree theft.

A judge ordered her release from jail earlier this week pending a trial in the case.

Courtrecords show that the theft took place amund Oct.5.

A sheritI's office investigation found that Turner had been in possession of cows that did not belong to her. Prosecutors allege the theft was a result of a family dispute.

Stealing livestock in Oregon is considered a felony.

AT COMMUTERAIR SERVICE

By Pat Caldwell, For WesCom News Service

Three key regional elected leaders say a commuter air service to link the rural cities ofEastern Oregon is an idea with solid potential but doubts lingerregarding theneed forsuch a dealand themeanstopayforit The idea of a commuter air service is not a new one. A comm uter air service already existsin Pendleton — SeaPort Airlinesthat offers flights to Portland and otherareas ofthe state six days a week.Oregon Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli said previously finding a method to create and sustain a commuter air service to even small cities in the region is a viable goal.

Ferrioli, though, conceded such a concept most likely will hinge on the infusion of outside subsidy dollars from the state.

The idea of subsidies fueling such a venture doesn't sit well with Baker County Commissioners Bill Harvey and Mark Bennett. Union County Commissioner Mark Davidson said the idea of utilizing government subsidies to drive an airline service to small communities isn't his first choice either. However, Davidson saiditmay be a case ofchoosing betweenthelesser evil. ''Well, philosophically I understand the argument about the problem with subsidies. But the practicalmat teriswe are hamstrung by our location and our geography and the amount of public lands and overarching environmental restrictions on how we can use them to fuel out

economy," he said.

Davidson said a functioning air service to such places as La Grande, Baker City or even John Day will help the region economically.

"Commuter air service would be extremely valuable to the rural counties and cities within them.

Because it would eliminate one of our shortcomings for businesses thatare considering locatinghere.

If we had a commuter service that, you know, made a run and went from John Day to La Grande and onto the Tri-Cities tWashingtonl or Portland then we would be competitive as well and it would help promote business up and down the I-84 corridor," he said.

Ferrioli said an idea of a transportationlink thatreceives support from the state is already in place in the western side of the state.

Oregon already subsidies a commuterrailservice— from Eugene to Portland — with about

nesses is just not a sustainable vehicle forfutureprosperity.

"I struggle with subsidies. I wish we could ween ourselves off of them. My conservative background says I wish to God we could do without subsidies.

You are always under the threat of going away. That doesn't build something," he said.

Bennett and Harvey both saidthe concept isa good one, but Harvey said he isn't sure if there is the need now in Eastern Oregon to sustain such an air commuter program. oThe problem is volume. I am excited about the potential. But we have to build up a need, businesses opportunities that would drive the need," he said.

Bennett said he would be willing to review the prospect of a government subsidy for such a commuter air service but only if it timeframe was very specific, short and with a definite end date.

"Iguess Iwould consider a sub$25 million a year.

Yet it isjustthattype ofgovern- sidy, maybe they need to do it for ment monetary assistance that a limited period of time and see if it actually generate demand," leaves Bennett and especially Harvey uneasy. he said. oWell I am not necessarily in Bennett said he recognizes that favorofgovernment subsidies.

DEAR KEN: One area that I know would help my employees and the company would be more training.

I can't afford to send people ofj"site because we need everyone here to take care o f customers andfulfrll orders.

The workshops I receive mailings about are out of my price range. Plus, I'd like to do something with lasting impact and that will cover varied topics and require multiple sessions.

Do you have any suggestions how I can provide the training onsite and in such a way that our daily business is not disrupted?

— JEFFA. DEAR JEFF: Investing in your employees is always a safebetforim proving productivity, having more efficient operations and engaging your employees.

Most ofyour employees will appreciate the investmentyou are making. Some will not.

You will need to explain not just the"how we are doing this" but more importantly, "this is why we are doing this."

As you start down this path, you will need to be clear about the topics where you see training is needed, what thegoalsareforeach topic and who should be attending each session. What you are doingiscreating a program framework for your speakers to create a specific workshop curriculum.

To address the cost and time constraint issue, consider "lunch and learn" sessions where you bring in lunch for your employees and you hire localprofessionals tocome in to teach short sessions on yourselected topics.

As an alternative, you can schedule sessions either first thing in the morning and bring in donuts, bagels and coffee or in the late afternoon and bring in cookies, cupcakes and coffee.

For each session, the speaker needs to create a snappy title to get people excited about attending.

Having someone show up to teach"How to make effective collection calls" is a sure way to have any employee call in sick that day so they won't have to attend.

Dividends are important to the bottom line hy do you invest in a comw pany? The foremost reason is to make money. So you make money when the prices of the company shares go up. This form of profit is called appreciation, which is when the value of your investment rises to a higher level than what you originally paid.

The profit is only on paper, or unrealized, until you actually sell and then realize a capital gain.

On the other hand, if the value falls below your cost or original investment you can also have a loss. Like the gain, the loss is only on paper until you actually sell.

But wait: there is more.

There are two ways to profit

The combination of price appreciation and dividends is known as total return. A good MARCY HAINES analogy and example of total return is rental property. Dividends from ownership. are like rent.

and industry officials and hobbyists. They11 recommend which drones should be required to register and which should be exempted, and design a system that would be easy for commercial operators to comply with, the department said.

Toys and small drones that don'tpresent a safety threat are likely to be exempt.

Drones that weigh only a pound or two or that can't fly higher than a few hundred feetare considered lessrisky.

Heavier ones and those that can fly thousands of feet pose more of a problem.

There is no official count of how many drones have been sold in the U.S., but industry officials say it is in the hundreds of thousands and will easily pass a million by the end of the year.

Pilot sightings of drones have doubledsince lastyear, including sightings near manned aircraft and major sportingevents,and interference with wildfire-fighting operations, the government said at a news conference to announce the step.

'These reports signal a troubling trend," Federal Aviation Administration chief Michel Huerta said in a statement. Registration will increase pressure on drone operators to fly responsibly, he said, adding, "when they don't fly safely, they11 know there will be consequences."

To work out details, the FAA and the Transportation Department are setting up a 25- to 30-member task force including government

Registering drones that couldpose safety risks "makes sense, but it should not becomea prohibitive burdenforrecreationalusers who flyforfun and educational purposes and who have operatedharmoniously within our communities for decades," Dave Mathewson, executivedirectorofthe Academy for Model Aeronautics, said in a statement.

The FAA now receives about 100 reports a month from pilots who say they've seen drones flying near planesand airports,compared with only a few sightings per month last year.

So far there have been no accidents, but agency officials have said they're concerned that even a drone weighing only a few pounds might causeserious damage ifit is sucked into an engine or smashes into an airliner's windshield.

During the harvest season, farmers spend countless hours in combines, tractors, trucks and other equipment in fields and on roads.

"Livingand working on afarm can be quite rewarding; however, heavy equipment and long hours can increase your risk for injuries," says Dawn Mihalovic-Bayer, physician assistant at Mayo Clinic Health System.

"Fatigue, stress and medication can cause you to lose focus. Be sure to get enough sleep and take frequent breaks so you can safely enjoy your life on the farm."

Mihalovic-Bayer explains the following safety tips that can help make harvest time as safeaspossible:

EquipmentSafety • Turn all equipment offbefore making repairs or adjustments. Don't reach

into equipment while parts are moving.

• Don't remove safety shields, roll bars or guards.

• Avoid wearing baggy clothing, loose jewelry or long hair near moving equipment.

• Use safe tyglasses,noiseprotection and other precautions, including masks, when using chemicals and pesticides.

• Neverleave running equipment unattended.

• Pay attention to all safety information. Read the operator's manual and warning decals.

• Inspect the equipment, and correct any hazards before operating.

By Lorraine Mirabella The Baltimore Sun

Retailers arein fora strong, yet competitive holiday season, according to two forecasts out Thursday.

Sales in November and December are expected to

rise 3.7 percent to $630.5 billion — a bigger jump than the 10-year average of 2.5 percent but less than last year's 4.1 percent gain, the National Retail Federation said. Holiday purchases will account for a fifth of annual retail sales this year, the trade group said.

Online holiday-related sales will be up even more than store sales — between 6 percent and 8 percent — to

about $105 billion, NRF projected.Storesaregearing up to hire between 700,000 and 750,000 seasonal workers. eWith several months of solid retail sales behind us, we're heading into the all-important holiday season fully expecting to see healthy growth," said Matthew Shay, NRF president and CEO,

KELLER Continued from Page 1B But an hour long workshop on"Learn how you can help earn a raise" will have people inquiring about what this workshop is all about.

You may find more employees willing to make those unpleasant calls once they discover a financial incentive for doing so.

Sessions should be short, about an hour, with not more than 12 participants. Having a larger audience will inhibit partici pation.Each session will need an agenda, deliverablesand materialsforthose attending.

Allow plenty of time for questions and answers. Not everyspeaker is effective at facilitating participation but having that skill is critical to havean interactive session which is best for adult learners.

giNQk said in the group's announcement.

That said, consumers' ability to spend may be a bit constrained by a slower pace of job creation and income growth, with families expected to spend"prudently and deliberately," Shay said.

Retailers will continue to compete not only on price, but on digital offerings, store hours and special deals, the grOup sald.

In aseparate forecast,the Consumer Electronics Association said Thursday that well over half the shoppers in the U.S. plan to buy tech gifts this year, boostingoverall holiday sales by 3.4 percent.

Topping the holiday tech wish list are TVs, tablets, smartphones, laptop or notebook computers and video game consoles, the CEA said.

where else. If this happens, you will need to personally coach those individuals, making your expectations clear.

Consider having sessions without managers and supervisors in attendance.

Sometimes the presence of someone in a position of authority will squash anyone asking questions of significance, especially if this individual is not in favor of the educational opportunity beingprovided and believes itis a waste of time.

To counter that, you will need to sell your managers and supervisors on this program individually. If you believe that one of them can perform training, have them create the curriculum and you approve it.

Finally I recommend you reach out to your employment attorney to discuss how this program can be conducted for your hourly employees.

They can guide you to make sure that you are legally compliant.

The results of the Ned Davis Research are consistent with The Wharton School of Business's Professor Jeremy Siegel.

By Tina Susman NEWYORK Nobodyexpected Justin Trudeau to win when he entered the boxing ring three years ago to duke it out against one of Canada's Conservative senators in a charity match. Trudeau's competitor, Patrick"Brass Knuckles" Brazeau, had fought more matches in a month than Trudeau, a Liberal senator, had in his privileged life, one skeptical announcer said as the fi ghtbegan.

A few minutes later, though, it was Trudeau's arm that was thrust into the sky, and not even Brass Knuckles could argue with the outcome."I'm giving the man credit. He beat me," the breathless Brazeau said.

Trudeauhad defied all expectations, proving that he was more than just the son of Canada's charismatic, beloved former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

He has done it again with his stunning upset over Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper's party, defying polls, pundits and skeptics who just a few months ago saw the 43-yearold with the youthful looks and lovely family as having little chance of ending the decadelong Conservative hold on Parliament.

Trudeau's Liberals on Monday won 39.5 percent of the overall voteand 184outof338 seats in Parliament, a large enough majority to enable Trudeautogovern withoutrelying on other parties. Trudeau has vowed to raise taxes on the rich, boost government spending on inlrastructure
