What do you think?

The Observer

By Kevin Hartnnan ForThe Observer

BOISE, Idaho — Speckled with engine oil and coated with a layerofdust,23-year-old Spc. Samantha Brumleyrummages through a larger-than-life toolbox to begin work with her fellow tank mechanics on servicing an Abrams M1A2 System Enhancement Package tank in the high desert area southeast of Boise, Idaho.

Her team is at the Orchard Training Center conducting annual training in support of the 3rd Battalion, 116th Heavy Brigade Combat Team.

While the service to the tank's nuclear, biological and chemical filter system is routine, Brumley's hands-on support is not.

Brumley is the first woman to officially become a tank mechanic in the Oregon Army National Guard.

"I wanted to be a nurse," Brumley said."I actually wanted to be a medic when I got in, but that didn't happen."

Instead, the then-17-year-old joined as a communications specialist and later switched again to become an armament repairer where she maintained and fixed weapon systems. But she wanted more.

In 2013, the Pentagon opened up combat rules for women. This decision provided an opportunity to Brumley. After working near F Company tank mechanics, Brumley was asked if she would liketogo to schoolto become a tank mechanic, a role that had traditionally only been held by men.

The La Grande woman's response was simple.

"I'm not a desk-type person.

I like getting hands-on. I like getting dirty," she said."So I was like, Yeah, I wanna go'."

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Sept. 1, 1939, World War II began as Nazi Germany invaded Poland.

ONTHIS DATE In 1807, former Vice PresidentAaron Burrwas found not guilty of treason.

In 1894, the Great Hinckley Fire destroyed Hinckley, Minn., and five other communities, killing more than 400 people.

In1923, the Japanese cities ofTokyo andYokohama were devastated by an earthquake that claimed some 140,000 lives.

In 1976, U.S.Rep.Wayne L. Hays, D-Ohio, resigned in the wake of a scandal in which he admitted having an affair with "secretary" Elizabeth Ray. In 1983, 269 people were killed when a Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 was shot down by a Soviet jet fighter after the airliner entered Soviet airspace.

ENTERPRISE — Some people have staying power, whether it's longevity or dedication to a cause. Bob Nelson of Enterprise, a 92-year-old World War II veteran and 66year member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, has both kinds of staying power.

Nelson said he was born in Dayton, Wash. As a child, he moved tothe Leap Country northwest of Enterprise to a homestead ofhis father's family.

"Our familyhad everything. We grew grain crops and farmed with horses," Nelson said.aWe had milk cows and brought the cream to town. We had sheep and pigs, grew our own potatoes, we had a garden and Mom canned fruit."

He said the Depression was bad in the county, but there was food to eat. During the good times, there was work in the logging camps in the woods and the sawmills in the valley.

Nelson said he graduated in 1940 and was drafted with 30 other young Wallowa County men in December 1942. He said the family saw

He completed bootcamp and clericalschool in California. He was assigned to the Army Air Corps.

"On completion of the course, I was part of a group sent to Sarasota Army Field in Florida," Nelson said.

Nelson was assigned to the headquarters of the 337th Fightergroup where fi ghter pilots trained. He said his job was at"Message Center," where mail was handled and operators sent messages over a teletype machine.

After being discharged in

1946, Nelson joined the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Enterprise.

"The first hall I remember was on the corner of the lot facing the south side of the Wallowa County Courthouse square," he said.'The building was moved from a

logging camp called Camp 10 along the North Highway.

The building was designed to be moved in halves as manufactured homes are now."

It was known as The Legion Hall, or American Legion Post No. 18.

The building was eventually removed to make room

for a new hotel, Nelson said.

When he first joined the VFW Post 4307 it was in a building at Main and Northwest First streets.

At one time Nelson said he was the quartermaster at VFW. He handled the records fora largemembership of around 80 veterans.

In 1980, he and his wife retired to Arizona, but Nelson said he kept his VFW membership active in Enterprise.

In 1995, he was awarded a life membership card and was no longer required to pay dues.

In 1995, his wife died and in 2003 he moved back to Wallowa County to be close to his son, Dave. He bought a house and lived there until his recent move into the Senior Living Facility next to Wallowa Memorial Hospital.

"I used to be involved with the firing squad before I went to Arizona," said Nelson, a duty performed by veterans at each of the cemeteries on Memorial Day.

The Observer

A portion of La Grande's theater history, hidden for 55 years, will be revealed on Saturday.

The ceiling of the Liberty Theatre's lobby and its lower east wall will be exposed during a restoration work session on Saturday. The ceiling and walls have not been seen since about 1959 when the Liberty Theatre, 1010 Adams Ave., closed and its bottom floor area was remodeled into space for other businesses.

The false eastw alland false lobby ceiling put up after 1959 will beremoved on Saturday as part of an ongoing restoration process being conducted by the Liberty Theatre Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit. aWe will be unveiling secrets held since 1959," said Dale Mammen, president of the Liberty Theatre Foundation.

Mammen does not know what to expect, which is adding to his sense of anticipation.

"It has been hidden for more than 50 years. We will be doing a lot ofhistorical analysis," Mammen said.

The walls and ceiling were created when the theater was built around 1911. The theater was first known as the Orpheum and then the Arcade before it was renamed the Liberty Theatre in the 1920s.

Volunteers are needed to assist with Saturday's project.

Peopleinterested in volunteering will be able to sign up online later this week on the website of the Liberty Theatre's Foundation, www. libertyonadams.org.

A prison guard shot and killed an inmate at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution Friday from a tower above the recreation yard.

It was the first time in the 30-year history of the state prison in Pendleton that a correctional officer has shot and killed an inmate.

Withers and another prisoner were assaulting a

When was baseball first played in La Grande'? merica's pastime may ave fi rstbeen played here in 1868, according to an edition of the Grande Ronde Sentinel, one of the valley's first newspapers.

A short item in the edition states that"A Base Ball Club has been organized in this town."

The president of the club was listed as H.M. Judson, the secretary M.H. Mallory and the treasurer was

Geo. Coggan. aWe wish the club success and intend to swing a bat ourself," the Grande Ronde Sentinel stated.

We do not know if the formation of the club sparked a surge in interest in baseball in La Grande.

What is known is that by theearly 1900s,baseball was popular here. The results of many games between Union County teams werereported in The Observer. At least one notable individual came fiom the outside the area to play here. The player's name was Pete Dowling, who had pitched in the major leagues fiom 1897 to 1901. Dowling came to Union Countyin June 1905 to pitch for a local team but died shortly after arriving. The pitcher was killed when hit by a train at Hot Lake on June 30, according to a storyin a July 1905 edition of The Observer.

Dowling, 28, pitched for Major League Baseball's Louisville Colonels, Milwaukee Brewers and the Cleveland Blues. The left hander had a career record of 39-64.

OUR VIEW

~ ~ r 4~

-m~ ~'f-g =

>a

Regardless of where you stand on the Shelter From the Storm/Union County conAict, what came out of last week's hearing on the issue should raise eyebrows.

Union County commissioners essentially admitted they conducted little to no analysis before deciding they would tear down a 16-yearold building in order to build a new courthouse on its footprint.

They labeled the option they chose, to demolish the Shelter From the Storm Advocacy Center, as the cheapest option of seven. But according to their own testimony, they have no written numbers to back up that claim. Nor couldthey properly compare costsofdem olition between demolishing the SFS and other buildings. Instead, they operated on "common sense" to decide what they would do, Commissioner Bill Rosholt told the court.

They may have consulted a few contractors, as Commissioner Mark Davidson said he did. Yet there is no documentation to support anything that came out of those discussions and that it would, in fact, be cheaper to demolish the shelter building than the Joseph Building Annex.

The result of this lawsuit against the county m ay not end favorably forSFS, butthecounty won't come out looking good, either. As its attorney has pointed out, these men are our elected oKcials, responsible for effectively using taxpayer dollars.

We would argue that failure to do due diligence before tearing down a purpose-built facility that serves victims of domestic violence — and is also one of the newest county buildings — is a disservice not only to citizens of Union County but a disservice to all American taxpayers who footed the bill in 1998 after a Community Development Block Grant for about $500,000 paid for the building.

That commissioners testified under oath that they failed to do this should not only raise eyebrows but also serve as a reminder of who theseelected oKcialswork for:wethepeople.

Though they may not hear the people's voices now, they will when we the people head to the ballot box this November.

Your views Morse: Residents should be thankful for train horns To the Editor: People are still complaining about the loud horns, and I guess they always will, but I think they should accept them and

be glad.

La Grande is a railroad town and the Union Pacific mainline runs right through it. Both the town and the railroad were here before any of the present residents.

Train engineers are required to sound their standard crossing warning. We have five crossings, and that warning is two longs, one short and a long. That is to alert these silly drivers and pedestrians to stay out of the way. We have a lot of each.

Anyhow, it's a safety factor so why not be thankM and put up with it?

Mickey: 3oseph fly in a rousing success To the Editor: The fly in at the Joseph State Airport on Aug. 9 was a rousing success for both the aviation community and the local civilian population.

Therewere a good 30different aircraft represented from in state and out ofstate.The largestaircrafttherewas a completely refurbished DC-3 that had flown with Eastern Airlines many years ago.The attendees were able to climb aboard and see what a commercial airliner of 70 years ago looked like — it is a real treasure.

There was also a Beech D-18, a Maule and a classic Piper Pacer, which are all based here at the Union County Airport.

There was a three-tailed Belanca, many Cessnas and a good assortment of wellmaintained aircraft. The men in charge of the breakfast had only planned for 120 and there were 300 meals served.

The ground control crew were exceptionally courteous in the handling of attendees as well as the parking of the aircraft.

It was good to see such a committed group of aviation enthusiasts. The pilots that fly out of La Grande as well as interestedpersonnel arelooking forward to a well organized fly in here at Union County Airport some time in the near future.

BRUMLEY Continued from Page1A This past spring, a year after the Pentagon decision, Brumley was on her way to a military career transition course at the Regional Training Institute in Umatilla.

"I never thought I would join the National Guard and be a tank mechanic," Brumley said."I certainly never thought I'd be the first woman."

But she was the first woman to attend the tank mechanics course at RTI. Brumley said the six-week class taught her more than how to turn wrenches and make adjustments to a tank.

It highlighted the adjustments she, the instructors and fellow tank mechanics would need to make as well.

'Theydidn'tknow how to act," Brumley said.'They'd always say, Sorry, no offense' every five minutes or they'd see me lifting something and say, 'Oh, that's too heavy for her. She can'tdo this,"'Brumley said.

She said the next generation of women looking to breakintocombat rolesneed to have thick skin.

'You can't take offense to a lot of things," she said.'You just need to be your own person and don't let the guys getyou down."

Brumley graduated and returned to the same F Company tank section she had bonded with prior to attending school. This time, she came with the knowledge and official job title allowing her to work side by side with the tank mechanics.

This year's three-week training at the OTC was Brumley's first annual training mission as a tank mechanic. Her supervisor and peers said she took on every challenge two dozen Abrams tanks operating in a sandy landscape could throw at their maintenance section.

'She's just as good as any soldier outthereoreven better," Sgt. 1st Class Paul Hussey said."She's operated the 70-ton recoveryvehide quite well even thoughit was her first timeeveroperatingit."

After 17 years of work-

THE OBSERVER —5A

LOCAL ing on tanks Hussey, who is Brumley's section leader, has seen how the field has changed over time. He said Brumley is treated just like all the other mechanics.

"I always think it's about the person rather than if they're a man or a woman for our job as tank mechanics," Hussey said."She gets asked to dothe same job aseverybody else and she's going to be expectedto do thejob just as good as everybody else."

When dealing with parts from a 70-ton tank, mechanics have to work together.

For the NBC filter, Brumley works alongside Sgt. Justin Daniel, a full-time technician for the Oregon Army National Guard where he already worked with women and said he had seen this transition coming.

"I know it seems like a big deal up top or in the public sometimes, but down here in the real world, it's no big deal," said Daniel, a fellow tank mechanic from La Grande.'We justtreateach otherassoldiers insteadofagenderrole."

Brumley said she didn't have any adjustment coming back to F Company, but acknowledged there may be some fiiction elsewhere in the military as women take on more front-line functions. sWe're all soldiers," Brumley said.sWe all wear the same uniform.Buck up and get used to it."

She may have wanted to join as a medic, but six years later and now a tank mechanic, Brumley said the Army experience has helped shift her desire from fixing people to fixing vehicles.

"Being a mechanic here helped me discover what being a mechanic is like."

Brumley said.

She added that her newly found skills have given her direction for a career when she's not in uniform.

"I'm proud ofbeing the first female tank mechanic, but I don't like getting called out on it because it's different," Brumley said."It's just a job and an opportunity. I feel like one of the guys anyway.

All the opportunities I've had.

I wouldn't trade it."

A sign hanging on a power pole in front of Shelter From the Storm explains the situation facing the shelter.

Concerned residents involved with the ad hoc group Save Our Shelter said Friday that a hearing regarding the shelter's lawsuit against the county finally provided an opportunity to hear a rationale for why the county made that decision.

Zach Bartlow delivered some eye-popping numbers in the season opener. To those inside the Eastern Oregon program, however, his performance was anything but a surprise.

"Zack has done an excellent job of preparing himself," Easternhead coach Tim Camp said.'When you are around him enough and you see him work, it wasn't a shock to anyone on the staf. It shows everybody in the community and within the program that we've got a guy that can get it done."

The Cove volleyball squad enters the season with all three of its senior captains on the mend from injuries, with each player still fit to play.

As the team's top outside hitter, Hannah Hulse suffereda broken footbefore getting her castoff two weeks ago. During the summer, Hannah was selected to one of the training teams for USA High Performance Volleyball while playing with a broken foot.

Hannah's twin sister, Hailey Hulse, is also recovering from her third meniscus surgery on her knee. In addition, Kindra Moore is also battling a nerve injury in her elbow, but has played through the pain in volleyball, basketball and softball since

her sophomore year.

"It's a little bit frustrating, but Hannah will return to 100 percent soon," head coach Darcy Carreiro said."Hailey will be limited, but she works very hard and will perform at a high level. Kindra has amazing pain tolerance since she's played with the elbow injury for so long."

In spite of all of her team's injury issues, Carreiro has high expectations for her team.

"Our girls mesh really well on court and we have so much continuity from last season," Carreiro said.

"I believe this team is capable of winning state, but we have to take it one game at a time and make corrections from every single match."

After losing seniors Mikayla Murchison and Skyla Delint to graduation, Carreiro has two trans-

fers joining the program. One is senior outside hitter Taylor Little from Colville, Wash., and libero Tori Brownell, a La Grande transfer.

Cove started off its season strong with a fourthplace finish at the Grant Union Tournament in John Day. After finishing on top of its four-team group, Cove beat Crane in the semifinals before losing to Grant Union in the semifinals and falling to Adrian in the third-place game. Though Cove beat Adrian in pool play, Carreiro said her girls were "completely exhausted" after 12 hours of play and a four-hour wait between pool play and bracket matches. ewe did very well on Saturday," Carreiro said. ewe had a lot of unforced errors, but once we elimiSee Cove /Page 8A

score.

"Starting off with a win is huge for any team," Bartlow said."It really sets the tone. The first win is always a very good indicator ofhow your season is going to be."

Bartlow was in a summer-long battle with T.J. Esekielu and others to be the Mounties' signal-caller. When Camp called his name before fall camp began, Bartlow felt a mix of prideand satisfaction. ''When he told me I am the starter, there was a little relief," Bartlow said."There was also a sense of accomplishment that I was finally getting what I'd been working so hard for."

The La Grande boys and girls cross country teams have a new coach, but a familiarfacein charge ofthe program now. Alma Crow, who served as an assistant under Tali Welch last season, is the new head coach.

Crow, who graduated from Eastern Oregon in 2012 after a decorated career in cross country and track for the Mounties, is excited to take charge of the program.

"I love coaching the kids," Crow said."I genuinely enjoy working with each and every one of them."

Coming off a second-place finish as a team in the Greater Oregon League,the top returning runner for La Grande on the girls side is senior Amanda Welch, who finished 19th at the state meet last year after running the 5,000-meterracein 20 minutes, 5 seconds.

Another returnee is senior Grace Ridder, who ran a 24:46atlastyear's state meet. Crow will also work with newcomers Abbey Felley and McKenzie Orton, who ran 22:24 and 18:57 at Friday's Buffalo Peak run in Union, respectively.

The North Powder squad struggled in its first two matches of the preseason, losing in three games Saturdaytoboth Imbler and Dufur.However, Kitzmiller was encouraged with his team's collective effort.

"It was a tough start for us, but I consider it a good outing for us," Kitzmiller said.ewe played two very good teams, and I'm happy with how the girls are developing so far."

Powder Valley has two returning starters with outside hitters Taylor Martin and Sally Mary.

"They are both strong servers and big hitters," Kitzmiller said on his senior leaders."Since we are a young team, we struggle with mental errors, but both of them are doing a lot to help fix them. They keep the ball in play and win us a lot of points."

Kitzmiller said Mary was unable to play over the weekend after suffering a knee injury, and is currently waiting to hear back from Mary's doctor on the severity of the injury.

Senior Amanda Feik is also expected to play a major role at right hitter after spending most of last season on the junior varsity squad. Kitzmiller See Badgers / Page 8A

Another selling point in making Bartlow the starter was his work ethic. Instead of going home to Waitsburg, Wash., for the Summer, he SPent moSt Of hiS time in La Grande, preparing with his teammates.

Bartlow learned his lesson the hard way in 2013.

"I made a mistake last summer not SPending it here," he Said. "I kneW that, So I made a commitment to be in La Grande as much as I could. It's not mandatory, but most of the starters were here running and liNng.Monday through Friday,we would have two workouts a day, and the constant grind was tough. But it made us all better football players."

The Mountie offense is loaded with wide receivers, including Jace Billingsley and

Justin Hernandez, with the latter hauling in six passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. Those weapons will benefit Bartlow as Easternprepares foritsFrontierConference schedule. Camp said Bartlow did a superb job of spreading the ball around, which

re on'si e a reentrv srosecutionsincrease • Immigration statute being applied more widely ByAndrew Clevenger WesCom News Service

WASHINGTON — Although immigrants in the U.S. illegally represent a fraction of Oregon's population, immigration-related offenses constitute the second-highest category for prosecution in Oregon's federal courts, trailing only drug crimes in number.

Almost one in six federal prosecutions initiated in Oregon in fiscal year 2014 has been for immigrationrelated charges, with illegal re-entry by far the most common charge, according to Department of Justice figures collected by the The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

Nationwide, immigrationrelatedoffenses accounted for more than half of all federal prosecutions initiated in April, the last month TRAC data was available.

During that month, the Department of Homeland Security referred to U.S. Attorney's offices almost twice as many cases resulting in prosecutionsas the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Defense Department combined.

Illegal re-entry constituted the top criminal offense nationwide, just as it had a year earlier and four years beforethat,according to TRAC figures.

As the law is written, illegal re-entry applies to anyone who has previously been removed from the United States and returns without advance permission, said David Leopold,

Initially, illegal re-entry was applied mostly to violent offenders who had been deported following a serious crime and then returned to the United States, posing a serious danger to the community, he said.

We all stand for the rule oflaw, and want the borders secure. But on the other hand, there's no common sense to that statute."

The application of the illegal re-entry law has grown dramatically in recent years.

In 1992, 36,564 defendants were sentenced by federal judges, including 670 for illegal re-entry.Twodecades later, the number of total defendants had grown to 75,867, and the number for illegal re-entry skyrocketed to 19,463, a 29-fold increase, according to a study published earlier this year by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan organization

based in Washington, D.C. The increase in unlawful re-entry cases accounted for48 percent oftheoverall increase in cases between 1992 and 2012, the report sald.

N. David Shamloo, a Portland defense attorney who specializes in immigration cases, has noticed the increase in re-entry prosecutions during his 20-year career. ''What I'm seeing more and more is that the illegalre-entry casesfor non-aggravated felons or criminal aliens have gone up," he said.eiProsecutorsl are no longer distinguishing between an aggravated felon and someone with a minor record."

Estimates place Oregon's population of immigrants here illegally around 160,000 or 170,000, or less than 4.5 percent of the state's total population.

"Illegal re-entry cases have been prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Offtce in the District of Oregon for some time," said Billy Williams, criminal division chief for the U.S. Attorney's Offtce of Oregon."Prosecution of previously deported individuals who have been convicted of criminal offenses for qualifying aggravated felony convictions continues to be a priority in the District of Oregon."

Don't skimp on outdoor kids' clothes

Igk,il.

~p~., ~' * -

.

Some might wonder if outfitting kids with proper outdoor clothing really matters? To a certain point, no. In the long run, yes.

If kids are wearing clothes that keep them warm and dry, boots that keep the water out, gloves that aren't soaking wet aker a few minutes, and socks that don't bunch and get soggy, then they will be ready and able to spend more time outdoors. I'm an advocate for quality kids outdoor clothing. Not only does it keep them comfortable, but Ihave found that quality gearlasts longerthan"big box"storeclothes,so I can pass garments down to others.

The thought of getting kids outfitted with quality outdoor clothes and gear might seem daunting. Outdoor gear has a skewed reputation for being expensive.

Old movies take me back Watching old movies is a good twohour occupation on a quiet evening when nothing else is going on. Without any eff ort,one can besweptback when things were quite difFerent than they are now, or you can go forvmd into the future for comparison. It's all up to you.

I have a number of tapes with around three movies on each, so I usually watch just whatever comes next. Even though I have seen them all before, maybe several times, there is always something that has been forgotten in the series of events.

Even when the names of the stars have been forgotten, their faces come back to remindyou of when Hollywood was at its height of producing entertainment, first in black-and-white without sound, then in black-and-white with sound, finally with sound and full color.

If you are needing a bit of zip in your yard assummer triestoslip away,you can add a pop of color with some mums.

I like to get smaller ones (as well as some larger) and put them along a step or here and there. You can put several small mums in a basket or larger pot for some color and they oken bloom a long time if a hard frost is late coming.

Don't forget to water them, though. The littl epotsdry outfast.

BEAUTY Continued from Page 1B The yard looks even more eye-catching this summer thanks to a proliferation of Niagara green grapes spreading like ivy on arbors. The grapes give a portion of the Sinners' yard the look and feel of a vineyard. The grapes are on the south side of the Sinners' land, where there is little shade.

'They like the sun," Ed Sinner said.

The Niagara grapes complement the pumpkins, squash, boysenberries, Logan berries and raspberries the Sinners grow. Decorative plants grown by the couple include geraniums, roses, gladioluses and petunias.

A number of these plans are in the vicinity of Sinner's small stone pond, which is 3V2 feet deep and five feet across. Its water is continually pumped through a filter and into a small pool and then flows down a three-foot-long

It didn't start out that way, though, for the person with the money running the town didn't agree with the villagers on a specific way to solve a problem. You have to have a problem in order to solve it or there isn't much of a plot, so you simply set them at odds and go &om there.

The pond and its fish are but two of many elements which make the Sinners' yard striking. Ed credits the look of the yard to the expertise and skill ofhis wife.

The Sinners were among six nominees in the residential category for the Beautification awards.

The commercial category also had six nominees.

That's the Plush Oregon Sunstone. Who knew?

This clear stone ranges in color &om colorless to various shades of copper, peachy orange, green, and red. It is mined in the area around Plush, Oregon, in Lake County, by the Dust Devil Mining Co. and can be incorporated into lovely pieces of jewelry. I am told that if one is in the vicinity you can mine your own Sunstone for a small fee.

Their music, of course, was the old-time country music with two-step and waltz type rhythms.

Suddenly I heard only the piano chording with its definite beat, the drums echoing its timing. The sound of the banjo joined in and I suddenly was taken back many many years when my aunt and uncle, Rose and Oren Lovan, played the piano and banjo at local dances, and I learned to dance by standing on the shoes of myAunt Ruth.

My time with the danceband didn't last long, for I was on to other things and he had a return of players, but it was a fine experience

The movie had to move along with its plot and I had to move with it, but a great sadness filled me for a time remembering my loss of those years, those people, those times.

I guess it's OK for me to do that now with my age and the absence of all I have known. Sometimes it is hard to realize that I am now the "older" generation and everything around me is difFerent, filled with things that never seemed possible and some that were even unknown at the time.

I must let go. But, how?

urue: essimismon econom as rown

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans are more anxious about the economy now than they were right after the Great Recession ended despite stock market gains, falling unemployment and growth moving closer to full health.

Seventy-one percent of Americans say they think the recession exerted a permanent drag on the economy, according to a survey being released last week by Rutgers University. By contrast, in November 2009, five months after the recession officially ended, the Rutgers researchers found that only 49 percent thought the downturn would have lasting damage.

And that was when the unemployment rate was 9.9 percent, compared with the current 6.2 percent.

'They're more negative than theywere fi veyearsago," professor CarlVan Horn.

The slow pace of improvement during most of the recovery, now in its sixth year, has eroded confidence and slowed a return to the pay levels that many enjoyed before the economy sufFered its worst collapse since the 1930s. About 42 percent of those surveyed say they have less pay and savings than beforetherecession began in late2007.Just7percent say they're significantly better oK The survey results dovetail with estimates that the median household income was
