PORTLAND — Wildlife Participants of the Eastern Oregon Delegation Tour chat Tuesday following a presentation at the Joseph Canyon overlook. Presentations Tuesday ranged from topics on forest collaboratives to fire to wolves.

Todd Nash, center, the Oregon Cattlemen's Association wolf committee chair, speaks about the presence of wolves in Wallowa County on Tuesday, near the Flora area and near Sheep Creek Ridge.

• West side delegates visit Wallowa County to learn about life in Northeast Oregon By Kelly Ducote The Observer

ENTERPRISE — Elected officials from acrossthe state— and acrossthe aisle — learned a bit about life in Northeast Oregon this week. Five state legislators joined Rep. Greg Barreto, R-Cove, and Sen. Bill Hansell, R-Athena, for a natural resources tour in Wallowa County Tuesday, following a water and irrigation tour in the lower Columbia River Basin Monday. Wolves dominated Tuesday's conversa-

tion, even as a suspected depredation occurred in the county this week. A range riderfound a dead calfTuesday morning, Wallowa County Commissioner Susan Roberts said. "So we had an active (depredation event) while we were talking," she said. Delegates met with several landowners, who expressed their frustration and fear when it comes to wolves. Chelsea Matthews, who lives with her familynear Redmond Grade in northern Wallowa County on Anchor Bar Ranch,

told the delegates she learned a lot during the Grizzly Bear Fire but was more worried now about what came afterward. "We had wolves come in right aker the fire," she said."I have obvious concerns about our kids. They like to play up in the draw." Two of the family's dogs were attacked this summer. Though the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife did not confirm they were wolf attacks, the family had recently spotted wolves. A day before the See 1bur / Page 5A

officials preparing to decide whether gray wolves should lose Endangered Species Act protections in Oregon have been asked to withhold judgment until independent scientists weigh in. In a letter sent Thursday to leaders in the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, conservation group OregonWild's executive director argued it's illegal to decide wolves' fate based upon a staff report that hasn't been vetted by independent scientis ts. The lette rcitesa state statute requiring all delisting decisions to be based on "documentedand verifi able scientific information."A separate department rule See Wolves / Page 5A

State wildlife biologists are expected to recommend one of three options. They could advocate for removing or loosening Endangered Species Act protections statewide, containing changes to the Eastern part of the state where most wolves live, or making no changes to the animal's status in

TQDAY'S HIGHUGHT On Oct. 28, 1965, Pope PaulVI issued a Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions which, among other things, absolved Jews of collective guilt for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

ONTHIS DATE In 1776, the Battle of White Plains was fought during the Revolutionary War, resulting in a limited British victory. In 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated in NewYork Harbor by President Grover Cleveland. In 1914,Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand ofAustria and Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, sparked World War I, was sentenced in Sarajevo to 20 years' imprisonment. In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt rededicated the Statue of Liberty on its 50th anniversary. In 1940, Italy invaded Greece during World War II. In 1962, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev informed the United States that he had ordered the dismantling of missile bases in Cuba; in return, the U.S. secretly agreed to remove nuclear missiles from U.S. installations in Turkey. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter and Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan faced off in a nationally broadcast debate.

The DOJ cannot break attorney-client privilege, though the clientin this case, the energy department — is under no obligation to keep communications f'rom its lawyers secret. The department appeared to violate legislativeintent.If,in fact,there are no concerns expressed about the department's activities, releasing the opinion will prove that. Michael Kaplan, director of the energy department, told the Legislature earlier this year that he regretted losing the confidence oflegislators and much of the public because of"questionable" and "totally incorrect decisions."

ragedy strikes again and this time nearby. Tragedy which provides the perpetuator his moment of international fame. Tragedy which inflicts never-healing wounds on hisown family and families of the slain and memories of survivors. Tragedy in which guns are used. Tragedy which rebirths clamor for additional gun regulation. Tragedy which possibly could be avoided or at least minimized by a small amount of commonsense control — and not just of guns. Our president and others are quick to use the shootings at Umpqua Community College to revisit efForts to further regulate firearms throughout the nation. Is that the answer — or might something more be needed? Concerning guns: Some folks like the looks of military-style weapons such as theAR 15,theAK47 or others that have clipsthathold 10,20 or30 rounds. These guns you can shoot nearly all morning and reload during lunch. I think they're ugly and wouldn't have one, but does that mean the fellow that thinks they're macho or good looking is wrong? Ifhe passes presently required waiting periods and other restrictions, shouldn't he be allowed to purchase one?

The anti-gun crowd demands legislation, so ofFer this: Any caliber weapon larger than the old.22 rimfire, which most of us grew up with, must be limited to a capacity of no more than six rounds. Excess capacity clips will be plugged by an ATF-authorized gunsmith at government expense or, if the owner prefers, purchased at cost plus 50 percent. A second and key point in this legislation would be the stipulation that further gun control will not be reconsidered at the national level for a generation — 20 years. Reason 1: The .22 rimfire is excluded because, while certainly lethal, its slower velocity, smaller diameter and lower shock power decrease the chance

that it will kill or severely maim a target as large as a human.A.222,.223 or larger caliber pistol or rifle causes much greatertissue damage. Reason 2: Magazine capacity is limited to six so that most revolvers would still be legal and could be carried on person or in vehicles by properly licensed individuals — as is the case today. Again, any such legislation would carry the stipulation that reconsideration of gun control could not be visited by Congress for a generation. With this caveat written into law, maybe our politicians could cease posturing and attend to other matters such as the economy, wars and immigration. Another matter: As gun control is being considered, another issue should be on the table: a bill should be passed that prohibits publication of the names and photographs of these murderers. But do we need to know? I'm as m orbidly curious asany about who the m urderer was and what he looked like — but do I really need to know? Wouldn't it be better to focus on the victims, and let the murderers remain as dry, scorned, disgraced and unknown, sterile dust?

they looked like? SherifF Hanlin of Douglas County didn't think so when he refused to release the name of the fellow who destroyed lives in his community. Thanks, sherifF. Too bad the media didn't follow your

Eastern Oregon University's Chemistry Club received the Outstanding Award &om the American Chemical Society — an award it has earned five years in a row. EOU's American Chemical Society chapter, informally known as the Chemistry Club, is the only student chapter in Oregon to have received the award this year.Fifl ,y-fi veotherclubs in the nation received the award as well. 'This is such a great accomplishment, particularly because we are at a smaller institution," said Anna Cavinato, chemistry professor and club adviser. "Our chapter continues to perform outstanding work, and I am amazed at the level of commitment and hard work of our students. We are also very grateful to the ACS Richland Section for their continued support of our community outreach events including Girls in Science and Saturday Science, and for helping fund our trip to the national meeting." Cavinato said her club is always working toward another event. Just last weekend, the club participated in the annual Girls in Science event, which is held every year at EOU to encourageyoung women togetinvolved in science. "It seems like once a week we do something," Cavinato said. So far this year, she said, the club has taken part in the Girls in Science event, held two meetings and hosted two speakers, and it's only the fiflh week of the term. Chemistry Club Vice President Darcy Morales said she's been in the club for three years and joined because the club participates in the community. 'They do a lot of outreach with kids, which I thought was fun," said the 23-year-old bio-chemistry major. In her first year at EOU Morales said, the

ODFW Wolf Biologist Russ Morgan said there are about 80 known wolves in Oregon but the actual number is

Currently in Phase 2 of the wolf recovery plan, Eastern Oregon could be poised to enter Phase 3 as early as January 2017, according to Morgan.

Todd Nash, who chairs the Wolf Task Force for the Oregon Cattlemen's Association, said there is no real way for a producer to dispute the ruling that a loss was not a wolf kill. "Our appeals process, we feel like, is futile,"he said. Nash said he is working with three legislative goals in mind. One, delist wolves. Two, provide adequate funding for nonlethal deterrents such as range riders. Thirdly, he is lookinginto a human health and safety bill as it concerns wolves getting close to homes. He envisions that bill as one that would allow for the legal taking of wolves that come close to homes. "I feel really strongly about it," said Nash, noting

Garcia said the final commission report's stipulation that there was"insuKcient evidence"is key. "It is asserted in the OGEC finding that'insufficient evidence' not the evidence provided justified the commission's dismissal,"

he said. Garcia believes the ethics commission is "too soR" on

holding public officials accountable. "It is no secret that numerous reporters have repeatedly written that OGEC has no teeth, bears no decisive or af5rmative action or even remotely any semblance of ensuring Oregonians are efFectively protected &om unethical actions by political figures,"

he said. Rosholt said he was oken puzzled as well regarding the case.

"I just want to go forward with the work we are trying to achieve and get to the point where workforce can make a difFerence in this area,"he said. Garcia said regardlessof the commission's actions, questions will continue to linger regarding Rosholt and the Workforce Investment Board. "A cloud of question will forever remain about

"It is sad that this partisan commission ruled as it did and for the sake of more than 180,000 eastern Oregonians who are relying on new jobs, the future is very, very dim." Rosholt did not want to speculate on the reasons Garcia chose to file the complaint. "I don't know the motives. I can't figure it out,"

used to live in the city.

I liked the quick pace.

The people milling around the streets and being close to &iends and family. But the city was not all it was cracked up to be. It was on the west side, so the rain was nearly a constant depresser nine months of the year, and it was hard to get my getup-and-go when it was so cloudy that you couldn't even see the mountains because they were obscured by the clouds. Like the Eskimos have several words for snow, we had several words for the rain — some of which are not fit for publication here. But the weather was not the worst of it. There were several reasons that I wanted to leave the city. One reason was that I wanted to escape the nightmare traffic in Seattle. Bumper to bumper traffic, as far as the eye could see, was an everyday occurrence. At one point in time, I had an hour commute each way to work to travel about 11 miles, which was unac-

ceptable. So family and circumstance led me to Seattle. Little did I know that Wallowa County has its own traffic, and with it, its own brand of traffi claws,none of which existed in Seattle. Before I moved to Wallowa County, I didn't understand the extremely localized weather patterns or the strange traffic laws that seemed unique to the rural Wallowa County. I saw the deer crossing sign and thought it was cute.Ididn'trealize atfi rst that the picture of the deer on the sign meant deer crossing, nor did I realize thatgigantictractors were given the right-of-way on the mainhighway, sometimes for miles at a time until I had to follow one around turn aRer turn on

the highway. And, of course, being a city girl, I didn't understand that if a cow or herd of cows crossed the street, the cows have the right-away in &ee range territory. Surprisingly enough, there aren't many cows crossingthe streetin Seattle. In fact, I never saw a single cow cross the road until I moved to the delightful Wallowa County. Unlike the city, where the traffic concerns are commonly addressed by concerned citizens, there aren't any stop lights here. Not one. Not in all of Wallowa County. Although there are crosswalks, I can never tell ifthe caris going to stop or not. But theweather may be the strangest. I never realized until I got here that it could rain or snow over four houses in one town and be ten degrees hotter in another town with no precipitation. I'm not saying I don't like it, just that it has taken some getting used to. Rebecca Kingis a Wallowa County resident, freelance writer,world traveler,kimdrieater, music lover and Seahawksfan.

Maxville is an unincorporated community situated north of the town of Wallowa on the road to Promise. It was started in 1923 as a company town bythe Bowman-Hicks Lumber Company. This photograph shows one ofthe company's logging engines, and the engineer was Hershel Jones. In the 1930s the depression and the fall in lumber prices led to the demise of the little town and most of the people moved away.

From very earlyin our lives, our parents work to develop us to be the best people we canbe. One of the qualities that is often focused on is leadership. On Oct. 11the Greenhand andAdvanced Joseph FFA officer teams loaded the bus and drove to Camp Elkanah for District Leader-

ship Camp. District Leadership Camp is an annual event in which all the officers &om the Eastern Oregon FFA District meet with the FFA State Officers to complete workshops, compete and listen to speakers in order to further

develop leadership skills. When all 150 students &om Joseph, Enterprise, Cove, Imbler, Wallowa, North Powder, Pine Eagle, Baker, La Grande,Elgin and Union arrivedatCamp Elkanah, we were divided into groups by ouroffi ces.Throughout the duration of the camp, we were asked to limit the activ-

ity with our chapter unless during designated"chapter time." By dividing into groups, we also developed our communication skills and learned to work with people we didn't personallyknow. Throughout the two-day camp we participated in many workshops led by the State officers and district officers. One of the workshops we completed focused on the power of positive thinking. Four people attempted to iift up another person, each using only two fingers. After this they conducted a simple exercise while thinking positive thoughts. Lastly, the four people tried to iift the person again, this time continuing to think positive thoughts. The groups found that it was easier the second time simply because they believed they could do it. Camp was concluded with keynote speaker Keith Nantz, a rancher out of Maupin and past state FFA officer. Ks message was clear:dream, setgoalsand

Six of the top 16 individual finishers hailed &om Union/Cove, led byAlex GrafFunder and Jeremy Baxter in third and fourth, respectively, as the Bobcats easily won district. What's even more staggering? The depth on the Bobcats' girls team is even better. Union/Cove makes the familiar trek to Lane Community College in Eugene for the state championships Saturday, hauling a bevy oftop run-

ners in tow. The girls team is back to defend its crown following a fourth straight state title in 2014, which placed the program in rarefied air. No teamhad everwon more than three 2A/1A titles in a row, according to OSAA.org,and neither has any program in the 3A/2A/1A level, which began in 2006. Only four programs in Oregon's history have won five or more consecutive state titles at any level, and a fikh straight win for Union/ Cove would tie it with Siuslaw and Rogue River. To do that, however, the Bobcats will have to contend with a familiar foe, one that lost by one point to Union/Cove at state last year. "On the girls side, St. Mary's really is the team to beat,"Union/Cove head coach Steve Sheehy said.'They've been the No. 1-ranked team all Observer Sle photo seasonlong.

Led by senior Elly Wells, who placed second with a time of 19 minutes, 42.46 seconds, the girls' team saw seven runners place in the top 14, even outdoing the Bobcat boys. Wells said the quality ofher teammates helps push her on days when she's worn down. "Our team dynamic is really cool this year,"Wells said."I think the competitiveness drives everyone to work a little bit harder. Even on those days when you don't really want to be here, you make sureyou'retryingthe hardest every day." Wells said her time at district was her lifetime personal record, which she attributes to an uptick in the number of miles she ran training for the season. She placed12th lastseason atstate, and hopes her lifetime personal record can be set again this weekend. "But really, what's most important is doing my best for the team," she said. "Every point counts." She'll have help in that department &om teammates like Alisa Fox (fourth at district), Elizabeth Herbes (seventh), who placed 11th at state in 2014, and

The Outlaws finished second behind Union/Cove at the district meet with 57 points. That earned them a spot at the state meeet, where they placed fourth last season, tying Bandon with 93 points but losing the tiebreaker for third place. Enterprise/Joseph head coach Dan Moody is banking that his team can remain healthy through Saturday. ''You always think you can run better, but I know one individual on our team that can definitely run so much better than she did,"he said."She's about back to where she ran at the beginning of the year. We've just had this sickness that really took a toll on us." The Outlawsare depending on a pair of runners to carry the torch for the team. Senior Dawn Mist MovichFields, who was the third-best runner at dist rictwith a time of19:44.25, finished sixth at state in 2014, with her teammate, junior Isabelle Tingelstad, who was fifth at district, finishing fourthlastyearatstate. 'The kids are very excited," Moody said.'We were able to get one more week, and hopefully we'll make the bestofit." Karli Bedard finished 13th at district, and will be another key Outlaw. Eliza Irish, who was 33rd at state in 2014,placed 21statdistrict,and Ella Coughlan was 23rd at district.

PARKER Continued from Page 8A "I do like the competition," Parker said."It's hard when you're the only person — it really is. With the other goalkeepers, it keeps me on my toes and keeps me competitive, which ups my game, too." She'snot kidding, ashergame reached a historic level for the Mountaineer program Friday. That was when the junior broke Kailey Wilson's record of six shutouts set in 2013 with her seventh shutout of the season in a 2-0 victory over Corban University. Parker's 0.51goalsagainst average is second in the Cascade Collegiate Conference and ninth in the NAIA. Her play also helped Eastern, which is currently tied for second in the NAIA with 10 team shutouts, set a new school record for team shutouts, which was previously seven in 2013. According to Wagar, Parker could've set the individual mark even sooner. "She's actually been a part of 10 shutouts,"he said."But If Iplay another keeper five minutes, 10 minutes, whatever, (the official statistics) doesn't give her a shutout. So she's had 10 shutouts this year, but they've only given her credit for so many. Which is a shame, because you want to develop your other keepers. So that's tough." Either way, it's a far cry, both for Parker and the team, &om last fall. She has a 13-2 win-loss record as a goalie, the same as the Mounties' team record,aftera 2014 season that was up and down throughout. Parker did record five shutouts, but Eastern went just 3-84, with Parker taking seven of those losses. With the coaching change and the new competition, however, Parker made it a focus to come in ready to play &om Day 1 of Wagar's regime.

Eastern Oregon University goalkeeper Jessica Parker is allowing just 0.51 goals against per match, which is ninth in the NAIA. "Just playing soccer, keeping up with the game," Parker said ofher ofFseason."Coachgave us a fi tnesspacket that you're supposed to do. We have a fitness test when we come in, and you can't play until you pass it. People trained all summer long to pass that fitness test." Thatpreparation paid ofFimmediately. She's noticed a huge improvement in her game, both physically and mentally. "Justin pushes us to stay mentally strong, which really helps, because if there's any mental lapses it's probably going to result in a loss," Parker said. ''With him coming in, he really knows the game well, which is also a big help." Wagar has noticed a quick turnaround in Parker's ability to direct the players in &ont ofher. "It's her leadership,"he said."She's communicating and calling out where she needs them, and she's getting the re-

There's just one weekend leR in the regular season, and the Mounties are tied with College of Idaho for second place in the Cascade Collegiate Conference. With a spot in the conference tournament already clinched, Parker said it's a nice change &om last year, when the team was eliminated &om thetournament on thefi nalweekend. "It's reallynice to nothave to win these games to go into the playofFs,"she said. ''We canjustrelax andplay our game."

"It's a full team efFort now," she said. ''We need to peak rightnow and play our bestgame. That'show we'regoing to get through the tournament."

Budget deal between White House, Congress draws resistance By Lisa Mascaro Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The two-yearbudget dealthat congressional leadersnegotiated with the White House may not be the kind of sweeping accord that House Speaker John A. Boehner and President Barack Obama once tried to hammer out, but its provisions will directly afFect the lives of millions ofAmericans. Senior citizens will be spared a 52 percent increase in Medicare premiums that would otherwise have taken effect next year. The Social Security Disability system will be shored up for a decade, ending the threat

of a 20 percent reduction next year in benefits for the disabled. And rather than being cut once again, spending will increase at the Pentagon and on domestic programs, including medical research and Head Start. That lastpoint, in particular, represents a setback for congressional Republicans, who havecampaigned fora steady shrinking of most government functions.

taxes and penalties.

RMD Rules Beginning at age 70 1/2, the IRS requires all seniors that own tax-deferred reti r ement accounts

— like traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SARSEPs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s and 457s — must s tart t a k in g annual r equired mi n -

imum distributions (RMDs), and pay taxes on those withdrawals. The reason: The IRS doesn't want

you hoarding your money inthese a ccounts forever. They want t h ei r cut. Distri b u t i ons are taxed as income at your or di n ary i n come tax rate. There are, however, two exceptions. Owners of Roth I RAs ar e

choose to delay taking their distribution until April 1 of the year following the year you turn 70 1/2. So, for example, if your 70th birthday was in March 2015, you would turn 70 1/2 in September and your requiredbeginning date would be April 1, 2016. But if your 70th birthday occurred later in the year, say in August, you wouldn't turn 70 1/2 until 2016. In that case, you would be required totake your first distribution by April 1, 2017. But be careful about delaying, because if you delay your first distribution, it may push you into a higher tax bracket because you m ust take your next di s t r i b u t i o n

by December 31 of the same year. Also note that you can always withdraw more than th e requir ed amount, but if you don't t ak e out

the minimum, you'll be hit with a 50 percent penalty on th e amount with the income tax you owe on it.

Distribut ion Amounts Your RMD is calculated by dividing your tax-deferred retirement account balance as of Dec.

31 ofthe previous year, by an IRS estimate of your life expectancy. A special rule applies if your spouse is the beneficiary and is more than 10 years younger than

you. IRA withdrawals must be calculated for each IRA you own, but you can withdraw the money from

any IRA or combination of IRAs. 403(b) accounts also allow you to total the RMDs and take them from any account or combination of accounts.

With 401(k) plans, however, you must calculate the RMD for each plan and withdraw the appropriate amount f rom each account.

To calculate the size of your RMD, you can use the worksheets on the IRS website — s ee irs. gov/ Retirement-Plans and click on

"Required Minimum Distribut i ons." Or, contact your IRA custodian or r et i r ement-plan administr ator who can do the calculations for you. F or more informati on, call t h e

IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the "Distri b u t i ons fr om Individual Reti r ement

As the first in the Portland market to adopt computerized dispatching in the 1980s, GPS technology in the 1990s, hybrid vehicles in the 2000s and mobile apps in the 2010s, Broadway Cab has earned and maintained its reputation as a progressive and customer-oriented company, according to the TLPA. Miles began her career in transportation when a position opened at her uncle's company, BuckAmbulance in Portland. Several years later, she was recruited by Broadway Cab LLC where she would eventually become part-owner and president. Miles became a member of the TLPA in 1998 and has since participated in the Women in Transportation Committee, the Taxicab Steering Committee and various ad-hoc sub committees. Currently, she serves as co-chair for the Taxicab Steering Committee and is a member of the Board of Directors. Alfred LaGasse, Chief Executive of the TLPA, said Miles was selected as Taxicab Operator of the Year in recognition of her strong focus on industry trends and technology. "Raye is always looking for new ways to innovate and improve her fleet," LaGasse said."She is able to make these changes while always keeping the needs ofher customers and drivers at the forefront of her business mission." Miles and her company also focus on strong community service. Broadway Cab is now in the development stages of launching a new transportation grant program called Righteous Rides as a way to "help charities go places."Outside of work, Miles supports a variety of charities in her community, including the Komen Race for the Cure, Dress for Success, Chess for Success and a local food bank. Miles accepted her award in front of some 1,000 industry colleagues on Tuesday at the TLPA's annual convention and trade show in Las Vegas.

LA GRANDE — And then they came home to the family farm. That was the refrain for a couple of the awards given out last week at the annualFarmer Merchant Banquet, held at the Blue Mountain Conference Center. From Ag Woman of the Year to Young Farmer of the Year, generations of farmingand ranching in theGrande Ronde Valley were celebrated at the annual event. The Arnoldus family farm took home the Conservation Farm of the Year award. Father Armond and his sons, Todd andMike,"have been employing no-kill and minimum-kill farming techniques for quite some time" at their placeon McKennon Lane,said Maarten Tromp van Holst, who gave out the award. After Todd and Mike left home, they eventually found themselves back in the valley to help out on the farm. oFor successful conservation tillages, there's a real learning curve,"Tromp van Holst said.'They've been working towarditfor15years." The farm primarily produces grass, but they also grow wheat and barley and have tried mint in recent years. Lately, they have also added alfalfa,"another big soil builder,"Tromp van Holst said. 'They still have some ground that's highly erodible, but through (conservation) techniques soil stabilization has Improved. Tromp van Holst noted that the family looks to become a six-generation farm in the years ahead. See Honored IPage 2B

— BOBW. Dear BOB: It would appear that you have mastered the tactical, day-to-day responsibilities of ownership. This is a key role so that your organization executes to take care of customers. This is one reason why you have been successful. Your challenge now is to start blending your tactical doing with strategic thinking. To someextentyou have already started doing this because a company that does well in the day-to-day operations likely has a good business model. The strategic role comes in when you continually tweak your business and revenue model to make things better. You may get some input and insight from others on improving your company's revenue and profitability model but in the end most of the ideas will have to come from you based on your vision. Tied to that will be the continual search for top quality personnel at every level. Don't confuse loyalty and tenure with the ability to manage and lead a growing business in a competitive environment.

BUSINESS 8 AG LIFE

HONORED Continued from Page 1B Conservation isalsoof importance to the Young Farmers of the Year, Jedd and Seth Hassinger, who farm on Lower Cove Road. While one became an Oregon Duck and the other an Oregon State Beaver, both eventually returned home to become farmers. As kids in the days of"handpick" irrigation, they would compete with each other, seeing who could move a quarter mile of

pipe faster. The Hassingers have a strong sensitivity to conservation, participating in programs that protect the environment as well as improve the natural beauty of their farm. As Jed and Seth once did, their own children now take the seat next to dad on the combine. Outside of those honored for their direct contributions to Union County's agriculture, the Farmer Merchant banquet now also acknowledges those who dedicate distinguishedservicetothe ag community. This year, that award went to Craig Nightingale, who "has worked in the banking industry providing service to agriculture producers for over 35 years and has earned great respect and trust from the producers in the area," said OSU Extension Agronomist Darrin Walenta."Such respect is earned by recognition of not only his skills as a financier but, more importantly, his genuine knowledge and understanding oflocal agriculture and its contribution to Union County's economy." Other award recipients included: • Dennis and Lisa Murchison — Cattlemen of the Year • Susan Bunch — Ag Woman of the Year • Glen and Ronda Smith — Good Steward Award

• Eberhard LoggingForest Steward of the Year

Gary Bracelin moved &om Portland to Bend in 1992 and found a plethora of outdoor recreation opportunities, but precious few companies that catered to them. The city has long attracted skiers and mountain bikers due to its natural setting, but Bracelin said outdoor-product companies — those that provide goods or services based on outdoor recreation — have been slow to follow. "It's always surprised me how creative you have to be to make a living in the outdoor industry in Bend, since we live in an outdoor mecca," Bracelin said. Today, however, the outdoorproduct industry in Bend is enjoying a moment in the sun. Of the six finalists for early-stage funding at the 2015 Bend Venture Conference, four produced outdoor products or services. The winner, SnoPlanks LLC, a Bend-based early-stage company that manufactures handmade skis and snowboards using bamboo, carbonfi ber and fi berglass,wasthe first outdoor-product company to win money at the conference since

Redmond-based RESEquine Products won in 2011. ''Historically, the BVC has been somewhat tech-focused," Bracelin said."In the early stage, there's a lot

Bend Outdoor Worx recently sponsored the inaugmal Bend Outdoor Worx BreakoutAward, which granted $10,000 to a winning outdoor company, Robert Axle Project.

Groups of outdoorproduct companies meet weekly with mentors &om the industry for four months to improve their business plans and operational efficiency. The companies continue meeting

Development for Central Oregon's "Outdoor Roundtables." Van Schoessler, sales manager for the outdoor-product company Stanleyand a member ofOregon Outdoor Alliance's board of directors, said the cluster currently has around 300 members. Bracelin added that the organization's bimonthly meetings function in the same way that EDCO's Pub Talks function for the tech industry, allowing outdoor industry members to meet and network in a casual environment. "Outdoor people are kind of under the radar; they kind of do their own thing," Bracelin added.'There's a lot of talent here, but it wasn't necessarily connected." Elsewhere in Oregon, outdoor products are big business. According to information provided by the Outdoor IndustryAssociation, outdoor recreation, which includes both outdoor recreation product sales and travel-related spending, generates

$12.8 billion in consumer spending and around 141,200jobs in Oregon alone. For all of the progress the industryhas made in Bend,however,it still faces problems. Schoessler said Bend lacks a large-scale company in the industry, like Nike or Columbia Sportswear, that can provide steady jobs for hundreds of employees.

The intimate environment was a rarity for the GOP frontrunner, who has generally eschewed small events in favor of rallies drawing thousands of rowdy and loyal backers. While a handful of questions addressed Tnmp's policy positions, many focused on his persona as a brash TV entertainer and whether he possessed the ability to come back down to earth. "I know a lot of people would really want to vote for you if only you would eat a piece ofhumble pie once in a while," said one woman, an undecided registered Republican, who asked Trump whether he had any weaknesses he might share. eWell I'dlike to do that," Trump responded,"but then I'd expose the weaknesses to Putin and everybody else and we don't want to do that,right?"

AP-GfK Poll: Trump is hard sell for Hispanics NEWARK, N.J.— Republican front-runner Donald Trump is widely unpopular among the nation's Hispanics, a newAP-GfK poll finds, challenging the billionaire's oftrepeated assertion that he will win the Hispanic vote if he becomes his party's nominee. The survey finds many of the Republican candidates running for president would probably struggle to win significant support among Hispanics in a general election. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are their favorites, but even they are a hard sell, the poll suggests. Even so, most in the field are unknown to enough Hispanics that they might have a shot at proving themselves. That's a particular struggle for Trump, who began his campaign for president by calling some immigrants from Mexico rapists and has vowed to deport all of the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally if he is elected president. Trump is viewed unfavorably by 72 percent of Hispanics, with 6 in 10 having a very unfavorable opinion of him, the AP-GfK poll finds. Only11 percent view him favorably. — The Associated Press PtesidentVladimir Putin. Another questioner, identified as an undecided Republican, asked Trump whether, with the exception ofhis family, he'd ever been told"no." "I mean, my whole life
