Police are still investigating a string of burglaries that took place in La Grande over the weekend. The La Grande Police Department's Lt. Derick Reddington said the department does not yet have any leads in what appears to be a series of five connected break-ins that occurred late Friday and early Saturday. Among businesses hit was Barkin' Basement, a not-for-profit thrift store. Proceeds from the store are donated to the Blue Mountain Humane Association. SeeSuspects / Page5A

An aversion to taxes is about as American as a sentiment can get. Our very republic is built upon dissent and protest againstunfair taxes handed out by a foreign and far away government. Collectively, we pay taxes but we do so usually grudgingly because, let's face it, we'd all like to keep money we make for ourselves. So it is never easy to recommend voters approve another instrument that will mean, ultimately, more tax money going out of one's wallet to a government entity. Yet when a levy is designed to create opportunity and fix that which is broken, voter approval makes sense. A good case in point is the La Grande School District levy. Voters will get the opportunity to decide on the issue in a few short weeks and we hope that voters will support for the levy by voting for it. Yes, it will mean the average voter must contribute a little more. Yet that contribution is necessary. And while democracy may be built upon liberty &om unjust taxes, it is certainly not constructed upon a platform that shies away from doing what is best for the whole. A new bond levy will help the school district in a lot of ways, but what it will chieAy do is allow officials to substitute aging, rickety infrastructure with new construction. Yes, not everyone who votes has children in school. So, the thinking goes, why should I have to pay for it? The answer is simple: Because, as a democracy, we are all in this little experiment we call free government together. We do not, and should not, simply turn our backs from the collective responsibility of our community because we no longer have a tie with a school. Schools are important. So important that even the Founding Fathers considered education to be a cornerstone to a healthy, vibrant democracy. We cannot depart &om the public stage of collective responsibility when it concerns the education of our youth. If we do, we are sentencing our children to a quagmireofgood intentions gone awry and missed opportunity. We urge you to vote for the La Grande School District bond measure. •

ocreatethe currently proposed Bond Measure 31-86, the La Grande School District appointed a 40-plus member community-based committee to review the data, strategize on solutions, initiate a long-range facility plan and recommend a first phase, which is reflected in the bond measure. Many of those community members have continued to be involved in the communications portion of the process. The La Grande School District is looking at maintaining that transparency and collaboration. If the bond measure is supported by the community on Nov. 4, then in December, thedistrict'sboard ofdirectors will start receiving applications from interested community members and will appoint a Citizens' Oversight Committee to review activity under the bond measure and to verify that the bond promises are realized through the course of the work.

bond levy would give the high school a m ajor boost.A totalofabout$4.4 million from the bond would be spent on improvements at the high school. The most critical item the bond funding would cover at LHS would be improved security, said LHS Vice Principal Scott Carpenter. Carpenter noted that bond funds w ould be used toadd doorstoclassrooms in the west portion of the high school. Almost all of the classrooms in the west portion of the high school, built in the 1970s, do not have doors, making them vulnerable if a violent intruder were to enter the building. La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze said that adding doorswould be an important boostto security. "Student safety is our No. 1 priority," Glaze said. Money fromthebond levy would alsocover the purchase ofan electronic locking system, allowing school officials to instantly lock every door in the school when necessary. Carpenter said that with such an electronic system all doors except the one to the main entrance w ould be locked once classesstarteach

Liz Meyer, manager of the store,said she arrived at the store Saturday morning to find another volunteer standing by the open back door, which had apparently been kicked in by the perpetrators. A small amount of cash was taken fiom a donation jar, Meyer said. "I was shaken," Meyer said.'To do that to animals, to do that to anyone, any business in La Grande is saddening." An employee at Bear Mountain Pizza walked into a similar situation upon arriving at work Saturday. Lynne Zollman, co-owner of the restaurant, said glass was all over the floor but that nothing was stolen. It's possible the suspects were spooked by the lights of cars along Island Avenue, Zollman said. '%e were really surprised," said Zollman, whose restaurant has been broken into two other times in the nearly 10 years she's had it."The office really wasn't rifled like it was before." The Bear Mountain Pizza owner said she had recently requested more patrols from the police department. An employee was recently the victim of a car prowl and Zollman encountered a transient in a storage shed, she said. '%e'vehad a lotofactivity, just milling around," she sard. One business, Bud Jackson's, caught suspects on camera. Police said they are hoping to get help from the Oregon State Police to clarify the images. "It's kind of a shame

day. The vice principal said that to do this now is diKcult and time consuming because the school has many entrances and all must be locked by hand. Carpenter said the high school already has a good security system in place but the additions the bond would coverwould raise student safety to a higher level. "It would allow us to have a safer environment," said Carpenter, who addedthat"thereisno way to create a perfectly safe environment." Passage of the bond would also give the school's career technical education program a boost. The bond would pay forthe replacement ofitsvocational technical building, one in poor condition. 'The ventilation system is not adequate, and the building is old and worn out," Carpenter said. Students who would benefit from a new vocational technical building, include those taking welding classes. In addition to the improved ventilation system, students would have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art tools. The building would also have an element of flexibility. It could be rearranged to accommodatea variety ofclassroom settingsand could easily be added onto, ifthe school' scareertechnicalprogram grows, Carpenter said. Now is an ideal time to add a new career technical building because the

His plancallsfor40 percent ofstudents to be recei ving bachelor' sdegreesfrom four-yearcollegesand universities,40 percent to be receiving community collegedegrees and the other20 percent graduating from high school. Passage of the bond would also allow air conditioning to be added to the high school, something that is needed in the west portion of the high school where classroomtemperaturessometimes reach 92 degrees in May and September. '%e can't expect our students to learn in a school environment like that," Glaze said. Temperatures heat up in the west section of the high school because it tends to retain heat. "It does not cool down at night," Carpenter said. Passage of the bond would also

"It wasn't a relaxing vacation," Terry said."It was a traveling extravaganza." Among the highlights was the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, in County Antrim on the northeast coast. "The sheer massiveness of the cliffs are amazing," LeBold said. Other highlights included visiting a myriad of castles, including Stirling Castle outside Edinburgh, as well as ancient buildings and old battlefields. In Derry, the fourth largest city in Ireland, a castle wall on which people can walk encircles the town. Not everything was on the original travel itinerary. The bus driver /guide,for example, insisted on taking people to the peace wall in Belfast, where troubles between the Protestants and Catholics were red hot but have now cooled.

In the country, Catholics and Protestants got along fine." Hohstadt noticed a big difference between Scotland, which was in the midst of an independence vote, and Ireland. "Northern Scotland was very harsh and barren," Hohstadtsaid."Ireland seems to be way more modern." Most of the hotels in Scotland were built in the late 19th century, whereas the Irish Republic had beautiful five-star hotels, Terry said. The tourists knew they were not in such a big country as the United States. "The longest river in Scotland was 70 miles long," Hohstadt said."Scotland is mostly coastline."

Michael Robert Sweet passed away suddenly on August 18, 2014 at home in Falcon Cove, Oregon. He was born May 12, 1955 in San Antonio, Texas to Joanne r Kinnel Sweet and Larry Sweet who was stationed there in the military. Mike grew up in LaGrande, attended local schools before graduating from Washington State University with a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts in Business and Construction Management. He then moved to San Antonio, living and working there for many years. In 2011 he moved back to Oregon, where he managed his own business and helped his brother manage his. Mike was one of those guys whom everyone liked. He was brilliant, generous, a lover of life. He was always ready for a debate, would take either side and hold his own against all. He was a news junkie, a gourmand/gourmet cook, particularly if it included barbequing, "no sauce!" He loved to cook, was excellent at it, and took pride in the fact that he was born with the "food gene." He was a voracious reader of everything and anything that interested him. His reading list was huge and he would speed read everything and remember it. He loved music, science and movies. He was an avid hunter and sportsman. He welcomed the internet age, keeping up to date with everything new and actually knowing how to use all the "new stuff." His myriad family and friends adored him and sought his advice. All will miss him, his laugh, his pleasure at sitting down to a feast he had just prepared, his love for life and his relentless optimism. But mostly we will miss his smile and his tenderness and love of family, friends and life. Mike is survived by his daughter, Candice Smith of Canby; sons, Derek Sweet of Portland and Jay Sweet in Texas; mother, Joanne Kinnel Cornelius and brother, Brad Sweet in Falcon Cove. and many relatives. A celebration of his life will be held October 25, 2014 between 2 and 4 pm at the Beck Ranch in Aliceh

Tree planting at Victory Way

Eastern professor joins economic

development team on trip to ordan Observer staff

Tim Mustae/The Observer

Greenwood Elementary students plant a maple tree Tuesday afternoon in front of their school. The tree replaced one that split in late August. The new tree is part of VlctoryWay, a series of maples planted along Spruce Street in the 1920s to commemorate the U.S. victory in World War I. Members of American Legion Post 43 and the Greenwood Ambassadors,a Greenwood student group, provided a flag line forTuesday's ceremony.

SCHOOE Elgin sets parentteacher conferences

When Colleen Johnson set out in August with a team from the U.S. Agency for International Development, she wasn't sure what to expect. What she did know was that she'd be joining former La Grande City Manager Wes Rue in talking about economic development, and that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was their destination. Johnson, an Eastern Oregon Universityeconomics professor,wasinvited to participate in the Local Economic Development component of a project launched by USAID in Jordan. The program is intended to assist small businesses, createjob opportunities and increaselocaldevelopment capacity in three of the country's underserved municipalities. The identified municipalities will receive$49.5million overfi veyears from USAID's Local Enterprise Support, which includes LED initiatives

and assistance for Micro and Small Enterprises. Economic development initiatives completed during Johnson's dual role as mayor of La Grande from 1999 to 2010 are what landed her on the team. Specifically, she was asked to talk about the combined Cook Memorial Library/ODS complex, and Business and Technology Park. From what Johnson had to share, she gained as much in return and plans to use what she learned to enrich the curriculum of the classes she teaches online from her home in Portland. "I teach economics, public policy and public administration, so acquiring a better understanding ofhow other countries are organized economically and politically provides examples for all three areas," Johnson said. Personally, Johnson said she returned with an increased awareness of how much is taken for granted in

the U.S., particularly local control, autonomy,democracy — even water as a natural resource. For instance, Johnsonand the members ofhergroup were warned not to drink from the tap and relied instead on the bottled waterprovided atrestaurants,hotels and meetings. She subsequently began noticing empty plastic bottles littering the roads, vacant lots and national monuments. "I was a little reluctant to head off to the Middle East, given all of the upheaval in that part of the world, but I was also curious," Johnson said. 'The country, the people, the customs, the whole experience was intriguing, if a bit disquieting." Her husband, Jeff Johnson, a philosophy professor at EOU, accompanied her on the journey. They took some time to see the sights at Petra, the Dead Sea, Mount Nebo and Jerash, which were "truly spectacular," Johnson said.

Porter arranged for a military color guard to be present for a dedication ceremony for the new flag pole earlier this fall.

Bigej hopes to add lights at the base of the flagpole later. The lights would allow the flag to remain up at night. The lights are needed for

the evening because of a federalresolution written by the American Legion and adopted by Congress. The resolution requires all American flags displayed after dark to be illuminated enough that they can be identified as our national emblem, said Lonnie Myers, a member of La Grande American Legion Post 43.

Rice gets day IAcourt A hearing on Ray Rice's appeal of his indefinite suspension will be held Nov. 5 and 6, two people familiar with the situation said Tuesday. The people spoke withThe Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details of the hearing have not been made public. Rice was suspended indefinitely Sept. 8 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy after a video of Rice hitting his then-fiancee in an elevator was released publicly. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell originally had suspended Rice for two games.

At the outset of La Grande volleyball's senior night, it was clear the team was dealing with nerves. With Baker taking the first point and holding a 10-9 lead in the first set, theTigersneeded time to getsettled in. "During the first set, we were pretty jittery," senior Anna Grigsby said.'There were some unforced errors." However, once the girls got settled in, the La Grande volleyball squad rekindled the same form it took to beat Baker the first time around, winning 25-17, 25-12, 25-11 M onday in Greater Oregon League play.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -

Win or lose, Jake Peavy is a treat to watch when he pitches. He scowls, he shouts, he grimaces, he grins. Never hard to te 11 how things are going for him. And depending how he does for the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night against Kansas City rookie Yordano Ventura, this World Series could quickly shape up as an even match or a mismatch. Madison Bumgarner, who shows virtually no emotion on the mound, got the Giants off to a terrific start in Game 1. Given an early cushion by Hunter Pence's home run, the man called MadBum by his teammates carried a shutoutinto the seventh inning and beat the Royals 7-1 Tuesday night. "He doesn't get flustered out there," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Back on the field after a five-day layoff, the Royals looked nothing like the fresh team that had become baseball's darlings by starting the playoffs with eight straight wins. "Big Game James" once again failed to live up to that billing and left in the fourth when the Giants made it

5-0. "It just wasn't my night,"

Shields said. Kansas City threw two wild pitches, slick-fielding third baseman Mike Moustakas misplayed a ball, and sure-handed right fielder NoriAoki letone getpast him. The fleet Royals managed only four hits and didn't get a chance to run. ''Well, we never got on base," manager Ned Yost said."Thatdisrupts a lot of things when you don't get on base. The old adage is you can't steal first, and Bumgarnerdid a greatjob of keeping us offbase. When you do that, we can't utilize our speed." The Giants led 3-0 after the first inning at Kauffman Stadium and won their seventh World Series game in a row. The Royals' string of 11 strai ght postseason wins, dating to their last Series appearance in 1985, came to suddenhalt. Bumgarner added to his sparkling World Series resume, improving to 3-0 and extending his scoreless streak to 21 innings before Salvador Perez homered with two outs in the seventh. "I would tell you I wasn't thinking about it, but you know," Bumgarner said. "There's no way around it. You know. There's so much talk about it. Obviously, a World Series game is not something you tend to forget." Bumgarner stretched his road postseason shutout streak to a record 32 2-3 innings as the Giants cruised. He pitched three-hit ball for seven innings, struck out five and walked one. Next up, it's time for Peavy. The 33-year-old Peavy is 1-3 with a 7.03 ERA in seven postseason starts, including an outing for Boston in last year's World Series. He beat Washington in the NL Division Series and was pulled after four innings vs. St. Louis in the NL Championship Series. Naturally, he's fired up. "I really have, yeah, just the old Southern, dig-yourtoes in the mud, and try to make your stand," he said.

EasternOregon counties have lower percentage of employees in 'prime working years' Eastern Oregon counties have a lower percentage of their workforce in the 25 to 54 age range than the Oregon average, the Oregon Employment Department reports. Workers in that age range are deemed the "prime working age group." The Employment Department's study averages the number of workers for four consecutive quarters, ending with the thirdquarter of2013. Wallowa County had the lowest share of workers in the prime working age group, at 57percent.Thestatewide average was 65 percent. Other counties' percentages of workers ages 25 to 54: • Union, Grant and Harney, 59 percent • Baker, 60 percent • Malheur, 61 percent All six counties also had a higher percentage of workers who are 55 or older comparedwith thestate average,possibly a reflection of the number of farmers and ranchers in the counties. The average age of U.S. farmers has increasedover thepastfew decades and is estimatedatabout 57yearsold. Statewide, 21percent ofworkersare55 or older. Local counties' figures: • Wallowa, 32 percent • Grant, 27 percent • Baker and Harney, 25 percent • Union, 23 percent • Malheur, 22 percent On the other side of the age spectrum, percentage of workers younger than 25, four of the six counties in the region have a higher percentage of workers in that categorycompared with thestate average. Union County tops the list, with 18 percent of its workers younger than 25, comparedwith a statewide average of14 percent. The Employment Department attributes Union County's larger share of younger workers to the presence of Eastern Oregon University. The percentage of workers younger than 25 in the other counties: • Malheur, 17 percent • Harney, 16 percent • Baker, 15 percent • Grant, 14 percent • Wallowa, 11 percent

It costs Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative to maintain electrical service even when the homeowner is away and the service has been disconnected temporarily.

Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative is changing some of its rules, and a small gmup ofcustomers will be affected. Jim Horan, manager ofcommunications and government affairs at OTEC, said the company has notupdated itsrulesandpmcedmes since founding the co-op 25 years ago. The change has to do with customers who disconnect and mconnect their services seasonally, Horan said.

Horan said OTEC incurs costs even when service has been disconnected temporarily. 'The cost of serving the meter doesn't go away,"he said.'The real changeisregardless,thatstandard monthly delivery charge remains the same." The standard monthly delivery chargeis$21.56forresidential, commercial is $34.50 and irrigation

OTEC has mailed letters to those customers notifying them that they will be billed the cost of maintaining service during the temporaryperiod thatpower isdisconnected beginning Jan. 1, 2015.

UNION COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

ham er olershealth glans By Kelly Ducote WesCom News Service

Union County employers now have another option for offering their employees health care coverage. The Union County Chamber of Commerce is now offering health plans through PacificSource in conjunction with the Bend Chamber Health Care Plan. Chamber Director Kristen

Dollarhide said the idea came to her after she attended a conferenceearlierthisyear. "It's absolutely huge for us," Dollarhide said."I'm hoping it will be easier for businesses to afford health insurance for their employees." The Chamber director said she is encouraged by the fact thatthe plans offered arefrom PacificSource Health Plan, based in Eugene.

"To me, PacificSource is a well-known company that offers insurance," Dollarhide said."And it's here in Oregon, which is wonderful." The Chamber is working with Beth Stewart of Valley Insurance to enroll businesses into the plan. Stewart said she has run quotes for just a few companies, but they are looking good so far.

I have a client who takes deep pride in its "company culture." The company is a comfortable place to work, and the people that work there, are, for the most part very nice. Italsoappears thatto get anything of significance accomplished is difficult. Put another way, almost everyone seems to be generally satisfied with the status quo. Thereareseveralmiddle managers who are frustrated and want to see things change. With their dual visibility into both the market and the company they have a listofissuesthatneed tobe addressed to keep the company profi table and moving forward. The company is essentially stuck; revenue is not growing like it should and keeping expenses under control is a never-ending issue. The "flavor of the month" approachtolong-term change never works except for ice cream shops. Changing a company culture starts with defining what culture actually is. In a Forbesmagazine article Mary Barra, the CEO of GM, stated,"Culture is how people behave." As head of Human Resources at GM, Barra reduced a 10-page dress code into two words: "Dress appropriately." This freaked out many in GM management who thrive on conflict, paperwork, policies, bureaucraticred tape and the illusion that people can't define what it means to dressappropriately forw ork. In a smaller business, where people mrhvIdually play a much more substantial role in both the survival and growth of a company, would any owner want someone on the payroll who did not have the basic judgment aboutappropriatedressfor work?

ENTERPRISE — After several years of sharing a water master with neighboring counties, Wallowa County has its own watermaster, Dave Bates. Commissioner Susan Roberts said lack of funding forced the county to share a watermaster for many years with Pendleton, but an increase restored the fulltime position. She said Bates will work closely with Wallowa County Soil and Water Conservation Service and the U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Service as well as other natural resource agencies. Bates started his new position, housed at the Wallowa Resources Stewardship Center in Enterprise Oct. 7 and is settling in to his new digs.

ADVANCES IN BIOFUELS

Air bags recalled The Associated Press The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued an urgent plea to more than 4.7 million car owners whose air bag inflators have been recalled to get them repaired. The air bags,especiallyin areasalong the coast with high absolute humidity, have inflators that can rupture. If the air bags go off in a crash, that can send shrapnel into the passenger compartment and injure people. Below is the listofm odelscovered by recallsthatdate back to 2013. Some recalls are nationwide and some are limited to coastal areas:

EMMETSBURG, Iowa — The first large ethanol plants to produce biofuel &om nonfood sources like corn cobs arestarting operations in the Midwest as the industry worries that they might also be thelast— atleastin the United States. After a decade of research and development, ethanol maker Poet Inc. and its Dutch partner Royal DSM recently produced the first cellulosic ethanol at a $275 million plant next to a cornfield in this northern Iowa town. Two other companies are completing new cellulosic ethanol plants in Iowa and Kansas. By next year, they expect to be producing millions of gallons of the advanced biofuel. "It was a big moment when we produced ethanol," said the Emmetsburg plant's general manager, Daron Wilson, who kept a vial &om the first batch in August as a memento."It was jubilation." Yet the goal of producing ethanol &om nonfood sources facesamurky future.W avering U.S. policy on renewable fuels and the North American oilboom casta shadow over the commercial triumph. The next big cellulosic ethanol plants are planned on being constructed in Brazil, not the United States. Although the U.S. government has spent more than

$1 billion to develop cellulosic technology, industry executives recently wrote to President Barack Obama that other countries, including China, could"reap the economic and environmental rewardsoftechnologiespioneered in America." Most ethanol is fermented &om corn kernels. The fuel made at the new Emmetsburg plant is derived fiom inedible parts of the corn plant. Straw and grasses also can be used because, like corn residue, they contain sugars that cellulosic technology can extract &om the fibers. Outside the Emmetsburg plantare 158,000 balesof corn cobs, husks and stalks collected fiom farmers' fields. The residue is ground up, subjected to acid, water, heat and enzymes to extract hidden sugars. Then they're fermented and distilled. The

Corn husks and cobs stripped of their kernels are the raw material for a new cellulosic ethanol plant in Emmetsburg, lowa. The material is collected in large bales and fed into the first large commercial ethanol plant to rely on nonfood material. Jointly built by ethanol maker Poet lnc. of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Royal DSM of the Netherlands, the plant is expected to produce 25 million gallons of ethanol per year.

The game plan for cellulosic pioneers like Poet-DSM is to license their technology to other ethanol companies and earn fees on the intellectual property. That might be diKcult if investment dollars dry up for large, new ethanol plants. Yet there is another, new, low-cost cellulosic option that might appeal to ethanol plants looking to expand. Quad County Corn Processors, a locally owned ethanol plant in Galva, Iowa, developed technology that extracts trapped sugars fiom fibrous parts of the corn kernel and ferments them in an ethanol plant's existing equipment.

Itis sad to say,butmany companies, including those I have as clients, tend to have "me" typepeople reporting to the top executive, not "we" type people who have a leadership style that is focused on a team achieving company results. GM has suffered for decades as an under-performing company. It wasn't just the business model, which was broken; it was also the "don't rock the boat" approachtoboth strategic

and tactical issues. Small businesses tend to begin as a result of client need but as the business expands and grows, and layers of managementareadded, hearing or seeing the client never happens. Like an aging body that never exercises, a company can quickly lose its sense of vision iwhere it is going), ignore the senses of sight, touch and hearing ibecause theclient isnotconsidered important enough to care about) and accept the smell of overwhelming overhead as people ride their desks and keyboards day after day,

In September, the Galva cooperative officially flipped the switch on its system$9 million worth ofbolt-on equipment to boost the plant's ethanol output by 6 percent, and, eventually, 11 percent, chief executive Delayne Johnson said in an interview. "Our technology doesn't need any government subsidies to make it profitable," said Johnson, who believes the investment will pay off in three years.

WASHINGTON — Under pressure from lawmakers and the U.S. public to control the spreadofthe Ebola virus, the Obama administration on Tuesday announced additional restrictions on travelersfrom threeAlrican countries. ''We are announcing travel restrictions in the form of additional screening and protectivemeasures atourports of entryfortravelersfrom the three West African Ebolaaffected countries,"Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a news release. The enhanced screenings for travelers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea go into effect Wednesday. Travelersfrom those Ebola-affected countries will have to fl y intooneoffive U.S. airports where screening forbody temperature already is in place: New York's JFK, Newark, N.J., Washington Dulles, Atlanta and Chicago. The new policy comes just in time for many critics. "Putting in place travel restrictions and additional screening measures at our airports is a common-sense proposal, and Iam pleased to see DHS make this announcement," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, the chairman of the House of Representatives Homeland
