Allie and Zeb Scott get ready to take their newborn son, Grayson, home from St. Alphonsus Medical CenterBaker City.

11-year-old

By Lisa Britton For the Baker City Herald

Newborn Grayson Scott didn't make a sound as his dad snugged a dark purple hat on his head — he simply yawned, and fell asleep snuggled in the arms ofhis mom.

Grayson's parents, Allie and Zeb Scott, received the purple hat on Friday as part of the"CLICK forBabies"campaign at Saint Alphonsus Medical Center-Baker City that raises awareness about the"Period of PURPLE Crying."

PURPLE is an educational program offered in hospitals that explains normal crying patterns in infants, how to cope with a baby that can't be soothed, and the importance of never shaking a baby.

PURPLE stands for: • Peak of Crying — your baby may cry more each week; the most in month two and less in months three to five • Unexpected — crying can come and go and you don't know why • Resists Soothingyour baby may not stop crying no matter what you try • Pain-Like Face — a crying baby maybe look like they are in pain, even when they are not • Long Lasting — crying

can last as much as five hours a day, or more • Evening — your baby may cry more in the late afternoon and evening All patients at the Birth Center watch the"Period of PURPLE Crying" DVD, and the purple hats are distributed in November and December.

All the hats have been donatedby members ofthe community, said Sommer Sargent, Birth Center manager.

The PURPLE program was developedto combat shaken baby syndrome/ abusive head trauma, which is the leading cause of death in child abuse cases in the United States, according to www. clickforbabies.org, which partners with the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome iwww.dont-

shake.orgl.

NCSBS reports that crying is the most common trigger, as are toilet train-

ing difficulties and feeding problems in toddlers.

The NCSBS explains how shaking harms an infant: • The brain rotates within the skull cavity, injuring or destroying brain tissue • When shaking occurs, bloodvesselsfeeding the brain can be torn, leading to bleeding around the brain

School personnel and law enforcement authorities are reviewing evidence as they trytodecidehow to best respondtoallegations that an 11-year-old boy brought an airsoft-like gun to school Monday.

District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff said he will be reviewing police reports as he considerspotentialcharges and the school district will be conducting a threat assessment to determine when and under what circumstances the boy would be allowed to return to school.

Betty Palmer, principal of the South Baker Intermediate School that houses 320 students in Grades 4-6, said Tuesday that she learned of the incident about noon Monday. ''We responded and the child is not at school," she said.'Wearemeeting to decide long-term consequences."

we're The weather forecast calls for a seasonably cool ~s gi v i ng in Baker City, with afternoon temperatures in the low to mid-40s.

But even if the midwinter chill from earlier this month returns for the holiday, it will still be a day to warm the heart.

And fill the stomach.

The reality of Thanksgiving and other holidays is that the very reason we rejoice — being with those we love — can be the source of great sorrow for those who must, for whatever reason, spend these days alone.

Except in Baker City, on this Thanksgiving, no one ought to be in that predicament who would prefer to share the holiday with others.

We are thankM to live in a community where the toughest choice for those who won't be gathering with family on Thursday is deciding which free ~s gi v i ng dinner to attend. There are three:

Here's a question for Pennsylvanians to ponder:Isitgood thatyour state generates 61 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels?

I'd wager that most of you would say no. So would many of the politicians and bureaucrats directing America's energy policy. This was on full display earlier this month, when President Obama announced that the United States and China have reached an agreement to limit both countries' carbon dioxide emissions, which primarily come from fossil fuels.Such effortshave broad support from the general public — one recentpollshows that 51 percent of voterswant toreduce fossil-fuelusage, while only 22 percent want to increase their use.

But the 22 percent are on to something. I've spent the better part of my life researching fossil fuels — pros and cons — and have come to an inescapable conclusion: Fossil fuels are morally praiseworthy — and our lives would be better if we ramped up their use.

To understand why, we have to take a stepback and look atfossilfuelsin the scope ofhuman history. The energy sources that fall into this category — oil, coal, and natural gas — played little to no role in mankind's cultural or economic development until the late 1700s and early 1800s. Only then did humanity recognize fossil fuels' potential to generate power. That power, in turn, was used to create the technological and economic advances that took us from no indoor plumbing to landing on the moon in less than 200 years.

The last few decades demonstrate Affordable and abundant energy is thus this trend most clearly. Fossil-fuel usage the cornerstone ofhuman progress.

But that won't happen if America the world' saccessto clean water.According to World Bank data, access to clean and other rich, industrialized nations continue their crusade against cheap waterincreased from 76 percent ofthe worldpopulation in 1990to 89 percent and affordable energy.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: Despite the jokes it's bound to elicit, the Oregon Legislature clearly needs a"joint" committee to deal with numerous issues headed for lawmakers in the wake of voters' approvalofrecreational marijuana.

Top on the list will be the taxes that local governments have passed, despite Measure 91's explicit language prohibiting them.

Dozens of citiesand counties approved taxes ranging up to 40 percent, in hopes they would be grandfathered because they were passedbeforevoters said yesto the complex provisionsoftheballotmeasure.

Advocatesforthe taxes say localgovern-

ments will need the proceeds to pay for neededservicesrelated to legalpot,while those who wrote the measure fear high taxescould make prices forlegalweed too high, encouraging people to buy on the black market.

Local governments also will need to know if they can opt out of allowing recreational marijuana to be sold within their borders.

The measure provides for an opt-out only by avote ofthe people in a generalelection.

But licenses may be issued as early as January 2016, with legal sales slated to begin that summer. That's months before the next general election in November 2016.

The measure gives the Oregon Liquor Control Commission the responsibility to determine the rules that will govern recreational marijuana sales, but the Legislature is likely to hear from those who want strict controls on food and drink that contain marijuana. Problems in Colorado have shown risks for adults and children. Some think better labeling, which includes the amount of psychoactive ingredient included, could help mitigate the challenges.

Central Oregon law enforcement officials told Bulletin reporter Claire Withycombe theyareworried about intoxicated driving, trafficking, large-scale growing operations

and youthuse.More time and money, not less, will be required to deal with these issues, they said. Sheriffs, police and district attorneysstatewide opposed Measure 91, and their concerns could also lead to legislative proposals.

W e urge legislative leaders to form a special House-Senate committee and encourage its members to become expert in the issues related to marijuana legalization.

That committee could coordinate many of the marijuana-related concerns heading to lawmakers, helping to smooth implementation of this complex new initiative.

Boxing Baker's Generosity Lyn Akers gathers items Tuesday from the cerealtable before loading a shopping cart with other foods to help fillThanksgiving food boxes.

Members of the Seventhday Adventist Church will be rounding out boxes with other donated foods including turkeys, elk meat, pies, rolls, potatoes and vegetables.

According to Valerie Tachenko, program organizer, age groups vary greatly from the norm.

Most recipients are aged 50 to 60, instead of much older, and about 90 percent of the singles' boxes are men, she said. Food boxes in 2013 numbered 137 compared to 225 this time, she added. Boxes were delivered Wednesday throughout Baker County and at North Powder.

PORTLAND — Statewide vote totals released Monday show an Oregon ballot measure that would require labeling of genetically modified foods was losing by a mere 809 votes and will go to an automatic recount.

Results fiom all 36 counties three weeks after Election Day showed Measure 92 was defeated by a margin of only 0.06 percentage point, well under the 0.2percent threshold fora recount.

A hand tally ofballots is likely to begin the first week in December after Secretary of State Kate Brown certifies the election results, formally triggering the recount.

Oregon is the fourth state in the West to reject a labelingrequirement for genetically modified foods, but it was the closest tally yet.

The odds are against the proponents. In 22 statewide recounts around the U.S. since 2000, the average shik was only 0.03 percentage point, according to FairVote, a Maryland-based advocacy group. Five of them produced a shik that would

A tax exemption being utilized by the local wind farm company Telocaset Wind Power Partners is allowing several local taxing districts to reap the benefits and get some extra money.

Also known as EDP Renewals, the company owns the Elkhorn Valley wind farm between Union and North Powder. The farm is in a tax exemption program known as a Strategic Investment Program, which saves the company money while also giving 25 percentofthetotaltax savings to the taxing districts.

The wind farm is considered a utility, said Linda Hill, Union County tax assessor director.

HOLIDAY COSTS

Cost of Thanksgiving going up, but not by much The Associated Press

Giving thanks will be a little costlier this year, but — and here's something you can be truly thankful for — it probably won't empty your wallet.

The price for putting Thanksgiving dinner on the table for 10 people is expected to rise slightly thisyear,clocking in at$49.41.

That's 37 cents higher than in 2013. For that, you can blame dairyproducts,coffee and that all-important marshmallowtopped sweet potatocasserole, according to the annual informal survey of consumer grocery prices performed by the American Farm Bureau Federation.

The group found that the price of dairy — as in milk for the mashed potatoes and whipped cream for the pies — collectively jumped 25cents overlastyear.

COST Continued from Page IB wholesale prices are at an all-time high briefly spooked some folks. But most consumers won't see that reflected on their grocery bills.

Retailers aren't likely to pass on to consumer much if any price hike that they are paying for the big birds, and the Farm Bureau actually expects the cost of a 16-pound turkey to drop by 11 cents this year.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to spend more this Thanksgiving. Upgrade that 16-pound conventional bird to an organic, free-range model and suddenly the Farm Bureau's $21.65 estimate can jump to $100 or more at specialty online retailers. Not into baking? Instead of spending about $3 on a homemade pie, you can spend $25 or more on high-end mail order versions.

Or maybe you don't want to cook at all. A complete and fully cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 12 people from Whole Foods Market willcostaround $170.

Then again, maybe you want to spend less.

KELLER Continued from Page IB the company a long time and as aresult,they are given a title and the responsibility to manage people.

Being given responsibility is not enough; corresponding authority is also needed. This means that the manager is trusted to use resources without having to seek approval every time they see the need to take action.

Managers learn and grow when they are allowed to make mistakes.

When the leader second guesses decisions made by managers, it kills both the spirit and engagement level.

Unfortunately, responsibility is given freely, and authority rarely is.

Managers who are continuallysecond-guessed are simply going to keep the title and the larger paycheck and disengage.

Yearsago Iw astold that no matter where I worked, I needed to make sure that the person I reported to was as interested in my own career development as I was. If I recognized that myboss didn't have mybestcareerinterests at heart, I should find someone else to work for who did.

Coaching helps people get better, if the advice is taken and used. What keeps managers engaged is being coached by their leader.

Unfortunately, coaching rarelytakes place.Itdoes take place, formally, once a year iactually, in most companies far less frequentlyl through the dreaded annual performance evaluation.

In my situation, that was when all the coaching suggestions thatcould have and shouldhave been made tom e throughout the year were unleashed as criticism and second guessingmonthsafterthefact.

I advise my clients to only have people who are manag-

ers that they can trust with both the responsibility to get the job done accompanied by the authority needed.

I also teach them how to coach by using the 12 questions created and used by The Gallup Organization in the bestseller,"First,break all the rules."

Finally, I tell them they need to lighten up and allow people to make mistakes.

The only way a manager can progress and feel engaged is when they are trusted enough to make mistakes, and to learn from them.

Ifthe leader can'tdo these three things, they should hire someone to do it for them or expect continued disengagement from their managers and employees.

But maybe you got off the hook this year and aren't hosting Thanksgiving. If instead of cooking you'll be traveling by car, you'll see savings at the pump. Gasoline is running about 33 cents less per gallon than it was a yearago,with a national average of$2.88,according to travel tracker AAA. And it doesn't matter where you're driving.

TAXES Continued fmm Page IB bines, towers and offices are physically locatedin tw o tax codes— 0506 and 0513.

The districts within those tax codes are nearly identical — both have the county, Union Cemetery, vector control and 4-H/ Extension. However, taxing code 0513 also includes the North Powder Rural Fire Protection District.

Each of thedistrictshasa settax rate, Hill said. Property owners pay into those districts through their property taxes every year. Additionally, the rate determines the amount of money they get from the wind farm's community service fees.

However, thosefeesaredeclining steadily every year. A wind farm, Hill said, has a depreciating value.

"Every year it declines because it's viewed as an income earning asset," Hill said."The Department of Revenue appraises them that first year, they have a huge investment up front, then it begins declining every year after that. If they were to sell it several years down the line, it would not be worth the same amount of money that it was initially."

With the depreciating value of the wind farm, the community service fees decline year after year as well, she said.

However, the fee is still a source of money for districts that they wouldn't get without the exemption program. eiThe exemption) is recognizing that when there's a large, multi-million dollar industry that impacts the community, they may have to have more fire or police protection," Hill said."It impacts the community in different ways. It's a way to see those districts get a little something back. It was extra money that these districts don't anticipate because it's outside what they normally would see."

Hill said the districts sometimes spend the money they received from the community service fees on items they usually wouldn't be able to afford — a new fire truck for a rural fire district, for instance.

"It's a nice little shot in the arm for those districts," she said.

However, the districts know that eventually the community service fees will dwindle to an insignificant amount as the wind farm'svalue depreciates.

"In the meantime, though, it's over and above what they receive in property taxes," Hill said.

Clandestine family affair needs complete confession DEARABBY:I recently found out my daughter has been having an affair with her sister's husband. This will tear our family apart. It will also have a huge impact on my grandchildren.

I have not yet told my wife, who will be devastated, but I'm having trouble carrying this burden alone. I feel they should be held accountable. Should I look the other way, or make them responsible for their actions, knowing the hell it will create?

The Associated Press

MINEOLA, N.Y. Thanksgiving travelers scrambled to change their plansand beat a storm expected to bring snow, slush and rain to the crowded Washington-to-Boston corridor Wednesday on one of the busiest, most stressfuldays of the year.

Forecasters said major Northeast cities will probably see moderate to heavy rain most of the day, though New York and other places were alsogearing up forseveral inches of snow.

Higher elevations west of the Interstate 95 corridor could see as much as 6 to 12 inchesbeforethenor'easter exits Wednesday night, meteorologist Andrew Orrison sard.

"I always go on Tuesday to try to avoid the Wednesday rush, but it seems like more people are leaving on Tuesday now," said Bill Fraser, a landscaper from Henniker, New Hampshire, who was taking a train from Boston to New Rochelle, New York, to visit his mother for Thanksgiving.

Jenna Bouffard, a New York City public relations executive headed in the oppositedirection,changed her bus ticket from Wednesday to Tuesday.

"I don't want to risk it," she said.

"I'd rather be safe than sorry, and if it doesn't snow, then I just have an extra day at home with my family" in Uxbridge, Massachusetts.
