House panel backs background checks bill • People can lend firearms to a friend without visit to licensed gun dealer The Associated Press

SALEM — An Oregon House committee advanced legislation Tuesday that makes changes to a bill requiring background checks for most private firearm transfers.

The House Judiciary Committee approved a measure allowing people to lend firearms to a fiiend for seven days without having to visit a licensed gun dealer to do a

background check.

They could instead do a background check by calling the Oregon State Police before lending the gun.

The bill amends SB 941, which was approved earlier thisyear, and requires all gun buyers and sellers who aren't related to visit a licensed gun dealer who can run a background check.

Rep. Brian Clem, a Salem

Democrat who sometimes disagrees with the majority of his colleagues from Portland and Eugene, said he voted for that measure under the condition it later be amended. He didn't want to regulate gun loans between fiiends, he said.

Clem will carry the adjustment to the background check expansion bill on the House floor.

• City council to take up 5 percent rate increase July 8

By Kelly Ducote

What it

The Observer

La Grande residents should anticipate another waterrate increase thisyear — though not as steep as last year's $6 increase.

In keeping with a 10-year rateschedule selected by the La Grande City Council last year, the city will move to increase water rates by 5 percent annually following the $6 per month increase that went into effect last year.

Public Works Director Norm Paullus said the plan is intended to bring the water fund's reserves to a healthy level.

'The Water Master Plan reflects the water system's declining cash reserves, and at the current rate, the water system will need to borrow money or use tax dollars See Increase / Page 5A

FUTURE NOT UITE SO BLEAK'?

• Commissioner, others believe all beleaguered golf course needs is a little TLC to

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Despite last week's dismal discussion over Buffalo Peak Golf Course's budgetary issues, Union County Commissioner Jack Howard does not think the future is as bleak as it was made out to be.

At last week's budget meeting, the budget committee made it very clear that the golf course was $1 million in the hole, and even if the loan the county has for the course were paid off, Buffalo Peak could not sustain itself with the revenue it generates.

Howard, who is the commissioner on the board charged with handling the golf course, however, wants to paintadifferent picture:Yes,

the golf course is in the red, and has been for a while, he said, but the county owns the course and has to pay the $1.5 million left of the loan that went toward constructing the course. The county must pay that back whether it sinks or floats. So why not invest the time needed to slowly take the course out of the red, or at least break even, Howard sald. ''We have the golf course," Howard said.'We can't wish it away. I don't agree the future isn't bright for the course."

Commissioner Mark Davidson agreed with Howard that this isn't the end to the golf course, but something needs to be done.

"iTheyl raised a goodquestion iabout the golf course and its future) and it should be discussed," Davidson said. ''We need to determine our path from here. The point I would make is it would be easy to react to the comments at the budget committee and take them out of context and believe the course is being closed, but it's not. This is the start of a discussion to determine how we can proceed.

We're going to want everyone's input."

Davidson said as long as there are no major cuts from the county's budget, he wants to fight for the course.

What Howard envisions is to seesomeone step forward who cares about the

golf course and its future. He noted that there hasn't been an official evaluation of the course to truly find out what it's worth.

'You have people who have invested their lives in this golf course," Howard said. ''We have to know its value.

We need to figure out how the course is used, how close we get to profitability and how it's managed."

Howard said one of the most important steps totake is figuring out how the golf course has been managed and to take accountability for it.

Management practices have fallen by the wayside and with no one from the county investing any time in the golf See Golf / Page 5A

IMBLER — This future time capsule is destined to beat the odds.

The time capsule is being created by members of the Imbler High School class of 2015. The class and several of its parents saw fit to begin creating it since the class of 2015 is the 100th to graduate from IHS. The time capsule will not be buried like many but instead will displayed next to or in the IHS trophy case or in the school's agriculture building.

IHS parent Kimi Starner, who is helping oversee the project, isdelighted thatthe time capsule will not be put underground. cWe were worried that if it was buried a building might be built over it. We thought that fkeeping the time capsule in a visible place) would be a good way to keep track of it," said Starner, the mother of 2015 IHS graduate Ellissa During.

Items set to be placed in the capsule include student photos, FFA and 4-H mementos, items saluting celebrating theclassof2015 asthe 100th graduating class and studentletters.

The letters will be written by 2015 graduates to themselves 20 years in the future.

The students will essentially be projecting what they hope to be doing 20 years in the future and writing to themselves on the assumption they achieved their goals.

Dick Masan/The Observer

Members of the Imbler class of 2015 — RachelWeis, from left, Kelsee Carlsen and Drake Lannon — display some of the items they will place in a time capsule.

Brad Chatfield, a member oftheIHS classof2015, hopes that in two decades he will serving as the sheriff of Wallowa County, according to his mother, Tricia.

The letters the IHS graduates are writing to themselves will be read in 2035 when the time capsule is reopened by members of the class of 2015.

The time capsule will then be closed again for a set number of years.

Brad Chatfield hopes the items in the time capsule will do agood job ofrevealing to future generations what life w as like forthe classof2015.

"I want people to see what we experienced, what we did for fun," said Chatfield, who graduated with his classmates in late May. The idea for the time capsule came from Tricia Chatfiel d and Starner.They became interested in the project after reading in an

IHS yearbook that the class of 1965 was IHS's 50th. cWe saw that the class

of 1965 had gold caps and gowns. When we saw that we said, 'Gosh, we need to do something big for the 100th class,"'Tricia Chatfield said.

In addition to the time capsule, a number of other steps were taken to salute the landmark class. They receivedcertifi catesand gold diplomas, and banners were placed downtown.

Many IHS seniors were not aware that they were partofa historicclass before Starner and Chatfield brought it to their attention.

Some members of the Class of 2015have started refl ecting back on the school's history after learning they are partofthe 100th class.

"It was fun to see how far the school has come," said Rachel Weiss, a member of the class of 2015.

Arleen Goodson, 96 years old, of Cove died on June 1st, 2015 at Meadowbrook in Baker City. A service to honor her life will be Friday June 5th, at10:00 a.m. at Loveland Funeral Chapel.

In 1982 the Goodsons were selected for the Cove's First Booster of the Year award. In a special ceremony in 1991, the sports field was officially named"Goodson Field" in honor of the many contribuuons that Arleen and Leonard had madeover the years to the athleuc program. The plaque reads, "Goodson Field will forever be named in your honor. Your loyal support in good umes and bad are an inspirauon to us all."

September 30, 1949 — May 25, 2015

May 28, 2015

Greg Franklin, 65, of La Grande, passed away in his home on Monday, May 25, 2015. He hadbeen suffering from healthissues in recent years; however, his death was unexpected and accidental. A celebration of his life will be held in the gymnasium of the La Grande High School on Wednesday, June 10 at 10:00 a.m. There will be a reception at Riverside Park Pavillion to follow with m eat anddrinks provided. Please feelfree to shareyour favorite salad or dessert.

Please join us to share "true stories" (as he would say) and celebrate the life of a great man,father, partner,and teacher.

Greg was born in Denver, Colorado on September 30, 1949 to Rose and Carl Franklin. The family, including his older brother Paul and younger brother John, moved to Portland, Oregon in 1962. By the time he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1967, Greg's passion for the outdoors had been cemented through the many camping and fishing trips the family took together.

After receiving a BS and MS from Eastern Oregon College, Greg obtained his first teaching position as a high school science and biology teacher in Lakeview, Oregon in 1972. While in Lakeview, he also coached the high school ski team. In 1975, Greg accepted a teaching position at Union High School, where he also coached baseball, wrestling, and was an assistant softball coach. He stayed at Union High School until 1981, when he accepted a position at La Grande High School.

In 1979, he married Deb Allstott in La Grande. Greg and Deb raised two daughters, Katie and Jessie. Greg's love of the outdoors gave Katie and Jessie wonderful childhood memories of camping, whitewater rafting, fishing, and appreciating that"earth science iseverywhere." Greg was an avid fly fisherman and hunter and was blessed with many great friends with whom to share these passions. Greg and Deb were divorced in 1995.

Perhaps most people who had a chance to know Greg called him "Mr. Franklin" as a result of the 40+ years he spent teaching high school students about earthscience,computer science, and driver's training. He was a very popular

and well-respectedteacher,known for his wit, enthusiasm, humor, and passion for science.His pride forhis work was reflectedevery day of his teaching career by the always-present tie he wore to class. Greg'senthusiasm for the outdoors spurred him to take hundreds of students over the years on adventurous field trips, including backpacking into the Steins and Watlowa Mountains, visits to the Oregon coast, and white water rafting.

The recentoutpouring of memories from former students expressing the impact "Mr. Franklin" made on their lives has truly been incredible.

Greg was fortunate to spend the last 13 years of his life with Sue Albers. Together Sue and Greg shared in many adventures and blended their families. Sue's granddaughter, Kiana, age 7, brought Greg great joy in the last years of his life.

Greg is survived by Sue, Sue's sons Guy and Bart, Sue's granddaughter Kiana, his daughters Katie Franklin and Jessie Martinak, and his grandson Elliot Martinak. He is also survived by his brothers Paul Franklin and John Franklin.

As one family friend put it, Greg Franklin was "a true Hall of Famer of La Grande." He will be greatly missed but his legacy carries on in the lives he touched.

Ida Mae Alexander passed away Thursday, May 28, 2015 on her 78th birthday. She was a long time resident of La Grande, OR where she and her now deceased husband, Terrell Fredrick Alexander, lived, worked and raised their family. She moved to Nampa, ID in October 2012.

Ida was born in Cozad, Nebraska. Her family moved to Weiser, Idaho when she was a young child. Years later, she met Terrell Fredrick Alexander.

They married on July 26, 1956.

Ida is survived by her four children: Jacqueline Alexander of Boise, ID, Anthony Alexander of Nampa, ID, Teralyn McKee of The Pas, Manitoba, Canada, and her husband, Murray McKee, Lawrence Fredrick (Fredl Alexander of La Grande, OR and his wife, Yvonne Alexander. Step-daughter, Jacquelyn Kurz of Pacific City, OR. Ida enjoyed traveling with her husband. Ida loved to garden, can from the garden and share her bounty. This was always a fun-filled family event we all got to participate in. She taught the granddaughters how to crochet and let them cook in her kitchen. She loved to sew special outfits and costumes for her grandchildren. She was an avid reader and enjoyed cooking.

Ida was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 4th Ward in La Grande, OR where she was a teacher for the 10 and 11 year old young ladies that she greatly adored and spoke of them often. She enjoyed remaining active in the Church and doing various jobs for the Church after moving to Nampa, ID. Ida was the first woman in her family to obtain a college degree. She started to school at age 40. She received her Registered Nurse's License in February 1983. She took her National Boards with her right arm in a cast due to a roller skating accident with her granddaughter!

Editorial from the Albany Democrat-Herald:

If you've been baRed trying to figure out what's going on in the Oregon Legislature regarding marijuana, you're not alone. But the outlines of the issues legislators have been grappling with are coming into focus — although it's still not clear how those issues will be resolved in the closing weeks of the session.

One thing is for certain: Even though much of the marijuana action in this session has revolved around medical pot, all of those debates also involve the shape of the state's recreational marijuana market, when that finally starts to take shape next year.

Two issues have proven to be major stumbling blocks for the Legislature. One probably could have been predicted just by watching local governments grapple with whether they wanted to allow medical marijuana dispensaries in their communities. As for the other issue, Oregon turns out to o6er ideal conditions to grow large amounts of marijuana, so lawmakers are trying to do what they can now to limit the amount of pot that goes into the black market.

Senate Bill 964, which passed the Senate last week, imposes limits on the number of plants allowed on medical marijuana farms and requires regular reporting by growers. Urban growers would be limited to 12 plants; those outside cities would be limited to 48 plants. Existing growers could have twice as many plants, but only to serve current customers.

As you might imagine, growers and patients aren't particularly happy with those restrictions, so there's no saying how the limitations will play in the House.

But a big split continues to brew between the House and Senate on the local control issue. So it's no surprise that Senate Bill 964 contains a provision that allows local governments to ban dispensaries if they so choose, but also establishes a relatively easy initiative process by which citizens can challenge the bans. House members of the joint committee on marijuana argued that only voters should be allowed to implement a ban. At first glance, we prefer the Senate plan, which places the first decisions on whether to implement a ban in the hands of an elected body — and offers a reasonable way for engaged voters to challenge those decisions.

The decisions the Legislature makes in the next few weeks willhelp shape the system for marijuana. But one increasinglygets the sense that plenty of details will be unsettled by July1, when recreational use becomes legal.

In the Legislature PAID SICKLEAVE BILL PASSES HURDLE IN SALEM SALEM — A key piece of top Oregon Democrats' legislative agenda — mandating a statewide paid sick leave policy — cleared a hurdle Tuesday and appears to have momentum to pass this session.

Senate Bill 454 passed a subcommittee 5-3 along party lines Tuesday and will head to the full, 20-person budget committee for consideration.

The bill must pass both the full committee and above the cries of Republicans who say the legislation amounts to a large bill for Oregon businesses.

Democrats who are pushing the legislation disagree.

They say the legislation that would require businesses with10 or more employees to provide paid sick leave (and those with fewer than 10 to provide unpaid leave) is a necessary step to help Oregon's vulnerable workers.

TWO BIRTH CONTROL BILLS MOVE FORWARD SALEM — Women canskip adoctor'svisitand head straight to the pharmacy to pick up a year's supply of birth control paid for by their insurance plans under two bills thatwidely passed the House and Senate onTuesday.

The state House voted 50-10 to send a bill to the Senate that would allow pharmacists to dispense birth control without requiring a prescription from a woman's primary care physician first. The provision applies to girls younger than18 only if they've received a birth control prescription in the past, and has shown to decrease unintended pregnancies by up to 25 percent.

The Senate gave a unanimous and final approval to a bill that would require insurance companies to pay for birth control that is dispensed in 12-month increments, ending what lawmakers said was a practice by some insurers of paying for only 30 to 90 days' supply at a time.

The measure is expected to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy by up to 30 percent.

Jean Pekarek of Enterprise said she wasn't opposed to the amendment, but asked that it be written to only allow construction of a trail. She said when protection of the East Moraine was added to the land-use plan, the strip betweentheedge ofthehighway and the lake, where the trail would be built, w as not thought tobe agood placefor development. aWedidn't think of that as a place you could build," Pekarek said.

The commissioners postponed a decision on the amendment until their next commissioner meeting the following Monday, giving Planning Director Harold Black time to reword the amendment asPekarek suggested. At the public hearing Monday, Pekarek's suggestions were incorporated into the amendment by Black and approved by the commissioners unanimously.

Board of Commissioners Chairman Mike Hayward said he talked to several business owners at the head of the lake and in Joseph that supported the trail's construction. ''What we wanted to do was protect the moraines &om any development, but we have to look at the businesses at the end oflake and look out into the future," Commissioner Susan Roberts sald.

This year's 5 percent increase would raise the residential baserate from

$22.04 to $23.14 per month.

In a work session Monday night to go over proposed water and sewer rate changes, Paullus said the city is also seeking a 5 percentsewer rateincrease this year, a move that was not pursued last year because of the $6increase forwater.

Water and sewer rate increases are scheduled to come before the council at its July 8 meeting. The rate increaseswould be effective Aug. 1.

'There's a huge demand for paths in the Willamette Valley," Hayward said."The state could spend hundreds of millions of dollars and not meet the need and Eastern Oregon will get some of that money."

Project Planner John Bosket of DKS Transportation Solutions said 1999 was the first time a need for a path to Wallowa Lake was documented.

"Bicycle tourism is a significant part of the state's economy," Bosket said.

In 2012 alone, Travel Oregon documented that $400 million was spent in Oregon on bicycle tourism and Eastern Oregon was reaping a mere 5 percent.

Results &om surveys conducted in 2013 and 2014 revealed 94 percent of the 250people surveyed wanted a path between Joseph and the south end of Wallowa Lake. Most of those surveyed agreedbuildingiton the eastsidewas preferable.

With that in mind, Bosket said a designwas developed that w illcost approximately $22 million when all five segments are completed.

Bosket said each segment ends at a kiosk, sign or wide spot along the Wallowa Lake highway, safe places to turn around until all segments are completed.

in width, widen the shoulders and add signs warning drivers ofbicycle traffic.

It was also suggested that the county work with the state to reduce the posted speed limit.

Hayward said he would like to see the interim steps pursued, especially signs and widening the shoulder.

"That would give us an opportunity to see what the impact it would have on life around the lake and its use," Hayward said."Perhaps given our rural area, that would be good enough.

I would hope the commissioners and ODOT would recognize that if that was the case."

The next step for the state would be to find funding for each of the path's segments.

Bosket said $22 million is a lot of m oney so fi ndingfunding foreach segment would make fundraising easier.

He said $22 million was raised over nine years for trail improvements in the Columbia River Gorge near Cascade Locks.

"Even $5 million may seem impossible; it does seem daunting, but it is possible, "Bosket said.

Roberts said feedback she has heard was favorable as long as private property owners are not negatively impactedand that thepath issafe for its users.

The commissioners voted 2-1 to approve a framework allowing the state to continue the trails planning and construction as funding is made available.

Councilor John Bozarth said the city's wells have already outlasted their expected lives.

Water Superintendent Lee Mannor said the wells are still producing, though.

"They're not depleting the aquifer," he said."They could go another 20 years; we don't know."

Paullus and Mannor noted that reserves would need to go toward wells, but thereare othercoststhat could arise, particularly if new groundwater rules take effect, which could require

Halfinoon said the online broadcast givesthe station abetterideaofhow many people are listening and what they're listening to.

The KCUW listening audience numbers mayhave hit their peakduringthe ment season of Nixyaawii boys basketball games. This was the firstyear KCUW broadcast all of the team's games, which coincided with the Golden Eagles'run to the state title game appearance.

"Everybody was listening," KCUW assistant Anson Crane said.

In addition to broadcasting basketball games, KCUW also plays a combination of prerecorded and live material hostedby a sm allbutdedicated group of volunteer disc jockeys. Halfinoon plans to continue expanding its programs.

Halfinoon wants to recruit more volunteers with the message that the station is open to all programming, notjust those focused on the tribal community.

She wants to use new volunteers to grow the station's burgeoning local news coverage, which recently added a news segment that airs five days a week.

With a significant portion of KBLU's budgetcoming from member donations, volunteer personnel is also one of nonprofit's top priorities.

Currently, the station plays commercial-free music from premade playlists mostly curated by Blakelock.

In additi on to prerecorded spotsthat share trackinformation, Betts also wants a variety ofprerecorded programming, including a bedtime story time for children, a call-in show for city council m embersand afarm show that would be a mix of country western music, wheat prices and updates fiom the Oregon State University Experiment Station.

Betts eventually wants to add live material but is wary of profanity without having the equipment to edit it out.

In February, a Kitzhaber stafferasked data center employees to delete emails from Kitzhaber's personal account that had been storedon thestate servers.

Employees balked, fearing the destruction of public records, and kicked the issue up to Rodgers, who refused to delete them. Concerned the governor would succeed in his attempt to delete the emails, Rodgers made an electronic copy ofthe 6,000 emailsand gave itto a reporterfortheW illamette Week newspaper.

Rodgers went public with his identity in a story published last week in Willamette Week.

Kitzhaber's lawyers have said that the emails he sought to delete were from his personal Gmail account, not the one he used for official duties, and should not have been archived on state servers.

Kitzhaber resigned in February amid growing pressure from his fellow Democrats over allegations that his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, benefited financially from Kitzhaber' sposition as governor.

FIFA's Blatter

steps down The end for Sepp Blatter came suddenly, just days after he had seemingly solidified his hold on FIFA. The 79-year-old leader of the world's most popular sport defied global animosity last week to win four more years in office. But his re-election only increased the pressure from colleagues, sponsors, athletes and fans for Blatter to step down as FIFA's president.

At a news conference Tuesday, Blatter announced he would leave office within months and called for a fresh election to appoint a successor.

Federer ousted in Paris For the third year in a row, Roger Federer is gone from the French Open before the semifinals.

This time, he bows out in the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (4) loss to his pal and Swiss Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka.

Federer had won 16 of their previous 18 matchups, but Wawrinka was in control from the start.

Ian Altenburg's birthday is coming up, and no gift from a loved one could surpass what he and his playing partner, Pat Vaughn, could earn for himself.

"I'll havetogoforgold for Pat," he said.'We were one stroke off of gold last year, and I want gold this year to make Pat proud."

Ian, who turns 34 Monday, is one of the Special Olympics Oregon Union County athletes making their way to the Quail Valley Golf Course in Banks for the Special Olympics Oregon Summer Regional Games Sunday.

Program Co-coordinator Doug Trice said five Union County athletes take part in the Level 2 event, which pairs them up with a unified partner in alternate-shot team play.

The unified partners range from formereducatorsand railroaders to close family members of the athletes.

"I've got a grandpa and a grandson who play, and we have a fatherson team," Trice said."So we've got some great connections."

Vaughn and Altenburg are competing in the first male division. Terry Bolkan and Scott Hayes are in the second male division, competing alongside Abel Mendoza Sr. and Abel Mendoza Jr., and the pairingofGeorge and Sam Altenburg as the third Union County pair in the second division. Sam and Ian are George's sons, and Ian and Georgewon a gold medal at the USA games in 2006.

was working one evening last week when I heard a telephone ringing sound coming from my computer. I was getting a"call" from my nephew.

I excitedly tried to answer, but it stopped ringing, so I called him back. He said he called me accidentally looking for one ofhis friends with whom he plays Minecraft. He started rattling on something about plate tectonics and I could tell he was in no mood to answer my usual barrage of questions.

His mom showed up and told me the family plan to load up the Subaru with five people, gear and bikes and drive from Denver to Durango, Colorado. We talked about the mundane details of Colorado Memorial Day traffic. Leaving early Friday and coming back on Sunday would help alleviate some of the bumper-to-bumper hassle.

Producers should brace for Cherry Fruit Fly

The adult western cherry fruit fly will be rearing its ugly head and cherry tree owners should be prepared.

The emergence of the cherry fruit fly began last week. Initial spray applications shouldbe made as soon aspossible and then follow-up spray applications should be scheduled to control CFF until harvest.

Management options for the WFF indude sprayingthetreeswith registered~ cide pmducts, hire a commerciai applicator, remove all blossoms or fiuit fiom your trees prior to CFF emergence or cut down the tree if the task of managing the pests is too much.

Tree height and canopy influence can effect sprays.Shorter treespruned to open up the canopy allows for more effective spray coverage.

Greg Hennes bought the Jennings Hotel in May 2014 and is renovating each room at a time. The hotel was built around 1910, Hennes said. In recent memory, it housed the Gold Room and Cactus Jack's — once popular drinking and dining venues on the south end of Joseph's Main Street.

UNDER MAJOR RENOVATIONS

By Katy Nesbitt, Wesoom News Service

The Jennings Hotel in Joseph is undergoing major renovations, creating what will one day soon be aunique vacation experience.

Greg Hennes said he'd been coming to Wallowa County for about a decade. The Minnesota native said he'd dreamed ofliving in the mountains since he was 15.

Last year he made it one step closer when he bought the building that houses Arrowhead Chocolate and La Laguna on the street level.

Upstairs is another world.

Hennes said he found the buildingforsale4-V2 years ago.

"I kept coming back and viewed the building a bunch of times."

In November 2013, he made an offer that was accepted in January 2014, and the saleclosed last May. "I fell in love with the place.

Owning a hotel in a small mountain town. What's not dreamy about that?" Hennes said.

The hotel was built around 1910, Hennes said. In recent memory, it housed the Gold Room and Cactus Jack's — once popular drinking and dining venues on the south end of Joseph's Main Street. Hennes' envisions eight rooms,distinctively designed,that will house tourists in the summer and writers-in-residence in the winter.

• You spend other people's money on yourself and price is no longer an objection.

Steve owns a business.

Even when he struggled in the early days to get his business off the ground, his attitude was that he always deserved the best.

He acquired debt with what others believed to be over-the-top spending, but Steve had always believed he was ultimately the one who should get full credit because it was only due to his efforts that his business was successful.

Even though he said he treasured his clients, in reality he only valued the revenue they generated.

Despite his professed love, Steve was always negotiating for higher prices and didn't cut any deals.

Steve fell into the first category of spending. Not only could he never distinguish between a want and a need, negotiating is how Steve chose to live his life.

In his mind, everything was negotiable.

Steve wasn't impacted by the second category, spending his money on others, until the business grew and he was forcedto hire employees.

These were people that Steve brought on board to take care of"His Clients" iemphasis

THE GREAT RECESSION

U.S. economy signals a stop-and-go recovery

By Nelson D. Schwartz New YorkTimes News Service

The U.S. economy got off to an even weaker start this year than firstthought,the government reportedFriday,aseconomic activit y contracted because ofa more dismaltrade performance and continued caution by businesses and consumers alike.

The 0.7 percent annual rate of decline in economic output in the first quarter of 2015 was a reversal of the initial 0.2 percent advanceforthe period reported last month by the Commerce Department.

Greg Hennes shows off the balcony of the Jennings Hotel, now under major renovation. He hopes to have one room ready to rent by the end of June.

HOTEL

How to get involved

Continued from Page 1B where he will install a hot tub; the room has a window facing south toward Wallowa Lake.

Down the hall, Hennes is concentrating on one room — walled with wide-planked wood.

He said each room will be designed differently and as they are finished will become available for hotel guests this summer. He's getting help from a wealth of artistic friends, some who will stay in the hotel during the renovation and create their own artwork as well.

Hennes is a true entrepreneur who took his knowledge of renting high-end photography equipment and, with a partner, started his own business in Portland. He started the Portland Bazaar featuring vendors from around the Portland metro area. He runs Campfire Cologne, an online company that sells incense, and he is building a photo studio in his Portland photography store. Opening the hotel is a whole new adventure for the self-prof essed "serialentrepreneur."

Hennes said renovating the hotel "is going to require a slightly more heels-in version than previous dabblings where the rooms are thoughtfully designed with a cabin aesthetic.

Each of the seven diferent designers will bring an aesthetic of their own."

He hopes to have the first room ready by the end of June.

ECONOMY

For information on how to get involved in The Jennings' Hotel Kickstarter campaign, visit http://kck.st/1 IC1 GGy or contact Hennes at greghennes@gmail. com or 503-863-6757.

Hennes is doing all of the heavy lifbng on his own, from financing to construction, but is looking for investors through a Kickstarter campaign.Kickstarterisone ofseveralfundraisingcampaigns that have gotten a lotof popularity in recent years — asking for investors who get gifts in return for their monetary donations.

Hisartistfriendshave offered to make prizes for the Kickstarter campaign

that ends June 12. On agoal of $80,000, Hennes said in half the time allotted he has secured half the funding.

He said he has had commitments from his friends but is now reaching further out on Facebook and Twitter.

"I'm trying to spread the network bigger to a wider audience," Hennes said.

The tricky part of Kickstarter is ifhe doesn't raise the entire amount, he gets none ofit.

"I'm taking nothing for granted, but stats are on my side," Hennes said. "I'm doing it all by feel. I'm doing what I think will work and hope for the best."

Business climate:NerdWallet looked at a community's average revenue, percentage of businesses with paid employees and the number of businesses per100 people. Most small businesses in the U.S. are sole proprietorships, which means they don'thave paid employees.

Local economic health:In this category, NerdWallet looked at three factors in each community, including the median annual income, the median annual housing costs and the unemployment rate.

In Oregon, the unemployment rate was 5.4 percent in March, matching the nation's rate, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The state also has no sales tax.

The world, to you, is one hugesource of information —always evolving, changing and offering you ever more in the way of knowledge and experience, which you are eager to digest and put to use in your own unique and inimitable ways. This doesn't mean,ofcourse, that you can ever know it all, or that you will avoid making somebig mistakes in your life.

On the contrary — there will be at least one period during which you aredriven to behave in ways that seem entirely counter to your experie nceandpersonality.

It's motor vehicle crashes.

But there are some simple things you can do to keep kids safer on the road: • Buckle up everybody in the car, including yourself — kids learn from watching you.

• Put kids in the correct carseats for their size.

• Always put children under 12 in the back seat, awayfrom air bags.
