• Union County voters speak out on what they believe to be the top issues on the ballot

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Oregon voters have less than one week to cast their votes in the November election.

An interesting mix of opinions can be gatheredwhen walking through La Grande asking people what they believe to be the most concerning issues on the November ballot.

"I really miss my husband at this time," said La Grande resident Jeanette Jones, 82."He died last year. He was very well read and he knew exactly who he felt was qualified."

Jones said she is definitely going to vote for Greg Barreto, the Republican candidateforHouseDistrict58.

"I think he'll do a good job," she said.

"I probably will vote Republican all the way."

Additionally, Jones said she is against

Measure 91, which would legalize recreational marijuana in Oregon.

"I amprobablyold-fashioned,"she said.

"I amopposed toit.I'm sorry."

Henry Basso, 92, La Grande, is not so apologetic about hisstanceagainst legalizing marijuana.

"I'm very much against the marijuana," Basso said."I think when you open it up like that, you're going to have problems. I think that our police and sherifF and our state will have more problems to fight than they have now. I think our country is going down the tube."

Patti Hankel, 56, La Grande, believes the money that comes from legalizing recreational marijuana can help the state.

"I'm from Colorado and I've seen what the tax base has done for the state," Hankel said."Instead of opposing it, I think the state should embrace it and utilize

the cash flow."

Hankel said she is interested in how Measure 92, which will require labeling of food containing GMOs igenetically modified organisms), is going to pan out.

"I work, and have worked, in the food industry," Hankel said.cWith the GMOs, something is going to get me. I'd rather the food not have bugs in it, but not at the risk of costing me money at the grocery store and putting century-old farms out ofbusiness."

A number of voters mirrored Hankel's opinion. Glenn Edmondson, 72, Elgin, is also against the bill.

"I don't think it's going to work anyway if it passes," Edmondson said."I don't care what they say, it has to raise prices."

However, Ruth Yeates, 59, La Grande, saidshebelieves Measure 92 isa good idea.

Poll: Kitzhaber claims 7-point lead

• Write-in votes might slow down results in council, county commission races

By Jayson Jacoby WesCcm News Service

BAKER CITY — The last election in Tami Green's 14-year stint as Baker County Clerk might be the most complicated.

It definitely will be among the more frustrating for Green, the county's chief elections officer.

The reason, she said, is that she won'tbe able to provideprompt results on election night for two of the races that voters will be watching keenly.

Those are the Baker City Council race, and the position of Baker County Commission chairman.

The issue is that write-in votes will definitely matter in the city council race, and they might affect the commission chairman race.

And with potentially hundreds of write-in votes to count in those two racesas wellasseveralothersin outlying communities and special districts, even the preliminary tallies won't be available until several days after election day, Nov. 4, Green SRld.

"It's just the sheer volume," said Green, who announced earlier this year that she won't seek another four-year term. iCindy Carpenter, the elections deputy in the clerk's office, won a three-way race in the primary; Carpenter is the only candidate for county clerk listed on the Nov. 4

votes until Nov. 6.

She expects to have preliminary results by early the following week, but she cautions that she might not be able to certify the write-in totals for a couple of weeks.

The person who receives the most write-in votes, and who is both eligibleto serveicandidates must have lived within the city limits for at leastone year priortotheelection) and willing to serve, will be elected.

Ifany other residents receive more write-in votes than any of the three candidateslisted on the ballot,and are also eligible and willing to serve, thosepeople would be elected as well.

The topthree vote-getterswill serve four-year terms on the city council, starting in January 2015.

The fourth-place finisher will serve a two-year term.

The terms for Mayor Clair Button and Councilors Roger Coles, Dennis Dorrah and Barbara Johnson expire Dec. 31, 2014.

Due to the clause in the city charter that limits councilors to serving no more than two consecutive terms, neither Dorrah nor Button is eligible to runforre-election.

Coles and Johnson, though eligible to runforre-election,declined to do so.

Baker County Commission Chairman

ballot.)

The role of write-in votes is less certain in this case than with the Baker City Council race.

There's only one candidate on the ballot — Bill Harvey, who beat incumbentFred Warner Jr.by about 500 votes in the Republican primary in May. iThere were no Democratic candiBaker City Council datesforthe position.)

With three candidates on the But Warner announced earlier ballot — Benjamin Merrill, R. Mack this month that although he is not Augenfeldand James Thomas — but campaigning for a fourth four-year four positions on the seven-member term as chairman of the county's three-member board of commissioncity council to be filled, at least one person will be elected by write-in ers, he would accept the job were he votes. elected by write-in votes.

Green said the county's elections Green said state election law reboard won't start counting write-in quires her to count write-in votes in Baker County results for most other races, including the gubernatorial and U.S. Senate campaigns and theseveralstatewide measures, should be available within an hour or soafterthe 8 p.m .deadlinefor ballots to be returned on Nov.4.

this race only if the total of write-in votes ifor any person, not just Warnerl equals or is greater than the number of votes Harvey receives.

However, she said she understandsthatvoters,and residents in general, are interested in the outcome.

"Clearly we've got something going on," Green said."It's taxpayers money I would be spending ito count write-in votes) and I'm always aware of that. My instincts are telling me people would want me to icount the write-in votes if the total is close to the totalofvotesfor H arvey)."

If Green decides to count write-ins, or if she'sm andated to do so because thetotalequals orexceeds Harvey's vote total, she said that, as with the Baker City Council race, she probably won't have preliminary results until early in the week after election

MCT News Service

A new poll found that despite weeks of headlines hammering Cylvia Hayes' green-card marriage, her intended marijuana grow operationand potential ethical lapses within his office, Gov. John Kitzhaber holds a 7-point lead over his Republican opponent, Rep. Dennis Richardson, with just eight days until the Nov. 4 general election.

When asked who they would votefortoday,45 percent of403 likely voters surveyed said they would re-elect the Democratic incumbent, 38 percent chose Richardson, 2 percent chose Aaron Auer of the Constitution Party and 9 percent remained undecided, according to the Oct. 26-27 poll conducted by the Seattle-based independent polling firm Elway Research for The Oregonian and KGW. The Oregonian/KGW poll also asked voters whether they followed the intense scrutiny of Kitzhaber's fiancee that began in early October, and if the coverage changed their vote.

Of those 346 voters who said they heard about the Hayes' scandal, 49 percent said they had planned to vote for

day.

Write-ins: Spelling doesn't count (usually) The issue of exactly how voters write in a person's name came up in the county commission chairman race.

That's because the incumbent is Fred Warner Jr. Voters who write "FredWarner" and don'tinclude "junior" will not have their votes counted as they intended, Green said. She said elections officials can't assume thatvotersintended to vote for Fred Warner Jr. rather than for his father, Fred Warner.

So what about other people who m ightreceivewrite-in votes?

Spelling, in general, is not a major issue, Green said.

For instance, to use a hypothetical, if a voter writes "Bob Smith" even though the person's official name is "Robert" Smith, elections officials can count that vote for Smith so long as therearen'tothereligible people with the same name, Green said.

Also, minor misspellings — say, "Kristyn" instead of"Kristin" — don't invalidate a vote, again so long as thereisn'tanother eligible person whose name is identical to what a voterwrote on theballot.

Kitzhaberbeforereading ofthe controversi es,37 percent said they had planned to vote Richardson, 1 percent had planned on Auer and 10 percent said they were undecided.

Richardson has increasingly held up the Hayes scandal as a reasonvoters should distrust Kitzhaber, who Richardson says has also "wasted millions" on projects including Cover Oregon and the Columbia River Crossing. Richardson called for U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall to investigate allegations that Kitzhaber and Hayes used their public positions for personal financial gain.

In a breakdown of the scandal figures, pollster Stuart Elway said that while 3 percent of voters moved away from Kitzhaber, another 4 percent moved toward the incumbent.

"Party loyalty and predisposition is insulating the scandal story," Elway said."Partisans are moving in a predictable direction and independents are not paying attention.

"So far, the scandal is not showing much of an impact."

The poll had a margin of error of 5 percentage points,plus or minus.

Editorial from The Bend Bulletin:

Not enough forest restoration gets done on Oregon's federal forests. Oregonians pay the price in increased wildfires, destruction ofhabitat and loss of clean water, recreation and income.

One report prepared for the state estimated in 2012 that the restoration work needs to double on the U.S. Forest Service-managed forests in eastern and south central Oregon or we will never catch up. That means going from working on about 129,000 acres a year now to 258,000 acres a year.

A few years ago, Gov. John Kitzhaber tried something di6erent. Rather than waiting and waiting for the Forest Service to do more, he

helped it do more. He included $2.88 million in the2013-15 budget to accelerate the Forest Service's work.

Oregon's money went to three general areas.

It wentto support the work offorestcollaboratives.

Collaboratives bring together timber industryrepresentatives,conservationists and others to figure out what timber projects they can agree on. These collaboratives don't make all the disagreements go away. But they have been successful, for instance, in helping move projects forward, such as around Phil's Trail near Bend.

Some of the money went to research projects to better resolve scientific questions that might helpprioritizeareas fortreatment.And the state also used some of the money for state employees to dowork required forfederaltim ber sales.

The Oregon Department of Forestry is proposing to increase the contribution from $2.88 mil-

lion to $6.5 million for the 2015-17 budget.

Is that going to lead to the doubling of the restoration work that's needed on Oregon's federal forests?

No, it's not. That might cost another $40 million, according to one estimate.

But if Oregon can afford to increase its contribution to $6.5 million, it's a great investment in improving the air, water, habitat, recreation and income for rural communities.

About the author

Observer allowing me the opportunity to set therecord straight on themost glaring mistakes in a story that ran on the front page Monday, Oct. 20.

The story confuses two separate Grande Ronde Hospital construction projects as one, referencing them back and forth as though they are the same project .Thetwo projectsare a 17,000-square-foot expansion of our Regional Medical Plaza located adjacent to the hospital at 710 Sunset Drive, and a parkinglotprojectattheRegional Medical Clinic located at 506 Fourth St. The front page picture accompanying a story that attempts to showcase the RMC's parking lot project is actually of the RMP where there is, indeed, a $6 million to $8 million expansion taking place. Unfortunately, the photo's caption referencesa parking garage that ism ost definitely not part of any construction project on any ofour properties.

Neither does the story include any of the many wonderful details about the RMP project that were shared with another reporter during an interview at the RMP construction site earlier this month.

We have kept,and continue to keep, neighbors in the loop and make our stafF accessible to anyone with concerns.

Finally, the home adjacent to the RMC which GRH publicly purchased, was not demolished, but sold and moved by the new owner. Despite having to remove a tree on the property, if you take a good look at any of our properties you will note that we include tree replantings and sustainable landscaping as part of our projects for the benefit of the whole neighborhood. In fact, it is our ongoing concern for neighbors that prompted looking at alternatives for reducing the number of cars parked on the street.

The journalistic standards of"who, what, when and where" in this piece were not well researched, which resulted in numerous inaccuracies and important omissions. The crucial "why" was not addressed at all. Why are we expanding parking at the RMC? Because it's atthe coreofourm ission to im prove both access and quality when it comes to health care for our communities.

Because we live in this community, we value our neighbors, and we work hard to make less-than-ideal situations better when and where we can.

Yeates, who said she is swayed toward the liberal side, is also a proponent for Heidi Van Schoonhoven for state representativeagainst Barreto.

"She's a very intelligent person and her issues are similar to what mine are."

Lowell Knopp, 51, La Grande, said neither Measure 91 nor Measure 92 are of much interest to him. Knopp said the local elections, both city and county, hold his interest more. However, a number of residents said they were not as informed about the local city government elections. Many are watching the gubernatorial election between Republican Dennis Richardson and Democrat John Kitzhaber.

TRIAL Continued from Page1A shortly before Garcia allegedlytrespassed intothe home.

'The Victim reported to the police that shortly after this exchange she was in her bedroom listening to music with her eyes closed, then woke up with the Defendant standing above her," court documents say.

In filings earlier this year, Garcia wrote to the court that he believes the victim and her parents, with whom she was living at the time, changed their stories and have submittedfalsereports.

According to court documents, Garcia told police he went only into the foyer of the home after the victim opened the front door but did not enter the victim's bedroom asisalleged.

Lastyear,thepolicedepartment was able to fund a domestic violence detective, which helped, Harvey said, but that person can be used only forthatjob,notforpatrol. cWe've been stretched thin," he said."These are some of the challenges we're going to face without sufficient resources."

Despite the burglaries, Harvey said sprees of nonviolent crimes and violent offenses are rare. cWe're still a very safe community," he said.

Complaints against each attorney in the DA's office were also filed, according to court documents.

"The officers acted legally and within policy."

Garcia earlier this year filed a complaint against Deputy District Attorney Jared Boyd, whom Garcia alleged had a conflict of interest because he sat on the board of La Grande Main Street, an organization Garcia criticized on his radio show. Scott Morrill of the Oregon State Bar said that complaint was dismissed at the client assistance level, "which means the bar found that there were no ethics issues impacted by Mr. Garcia's complaint orthatthere was insufficient evidence to prove any."

According to La Grande Policerecords,about fourhours after Garcia's citation was issued, he called the police to reporta theftofHydrocodone

About a week later, Garcia reported a fiiend of the victim to the state nursing board for allegedly inappropriately prescribing medications.

Police found no evidence of a crime in either instance, and the state nursing board indicatesthe person accused ofprescription fraud has a license in good standing with no disciplinary action on record.

The state believes Garcia's complaints following the charge of trespassing appear "to be a pattern ofbehavior in order to intimidate prosecutionofhis case,"according to court documents.

Submissions wanted for Wallowa Coun history novel

By Katy Nesbitt The Observer

A follow-up to the 1983 "History of Wallowa County, Oregon" is being planned and organizers are looking for stories.

Susan Roberts, county commissioner and Wallowa County M useum board member, said she alreadyhas a stack ofstories for the new book titled, "A History of Wallowa County: A Continuation."

"It's been over 30 years and

there were many families that did notget their stories intothe first book. Also, there have been many changes since the 1983 book and that's why the continuation," Roberts said.

She said she wanted to make the point that history is not for today. ''When I say, Write your family history,' think 100 years &om now and talk about how you came to be in Wallowa County."

Family stories should include birth dates, parents' names and where the family came from, Roberts said.

She said, "Most history books are lacking in human detail and are written from the point of one person," she said. "Ralph Waldo Emerson said, 'There is properly no history, only biography' so write your biography and pretend you are talking to someone who knows nothing about you."

Roberts said when the first history book was written, some said they didn't feel as if they had lived here long enough to submit a history.

"If you are a resident of Wallowa County, you are part of what will eventually become its history," she sald.

Robertssaid submissions acceptedforfree inclusion should be 500 words and one photograph.

A charge of 10 cents per word will be assessed for submissions

over500 words and there willbe a smallcharge fora second photo-

graph.

She said font size and style doesn't matter.Allofthe stories will all be formatted together.

Email submissions can go to museum@co.wallowa.or.us and hard copy and compact disc submissionscan be dropped offat the commissioners' office in the courthouse.

The deadline is May 1, 2015.

Saying farewell to an old family friend, looking forward to new memories f all the houses where my parents lived, the Glisan Street house made the most indelible mark. Though I never lived there, itcame to represent us all.

W hen my parents shopped for a house in 1988, they looked at dozens before deciding on a house with four levels, a tiny yard and quasishared driveway.

The house was built in 1913.

Downstairs it has beautiful wood loors,partially covered in carpet, f which eventually was removed.

The house has a real-live fireplace, used more for ambiance than heat. My parents &amed the fireplace with"their chairs," a pair of wing chairs matched with end tables for drinks, books and the drawers filled with reading glasses, cocktail napkins and coasters.

I will miss the Glisan Street house, its conveniences and its nooks and crannies, but I look forward to the many adventures my family will share in the coming years.

Socie says ank you to teac ers • Delta Kappa Gamma Society reaching out to educators, students

By Dick Mason The Observer

The La Grande Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International has been reaching out to local educatorsand students for 71years.

The members of its chapter were at it again recently, preparing tokens of heartfelt appreciation for local teachers.

The women, all members of Delta Kappa Gamma's Zeta Chapter, were preparingglassbowls ofapplesthat w ere later presented to teachers at each of the 16 public schools in Union County. Each bowl was topped by a ribbon. '%e just want to show our appreciation to teachers. It is a nice way of saying thank you," said Mary Jane Johnson, chair of the Zeta Chapter's

Teacher Appreciation Committee.

Johnsondirected theappleproject with major assistance from teacher appreciation committee members Vicky Hallmark and Mary Jo Lemon.

The apples Zeta Chapter members presented to Union County teachers were donated by John and Deb Howard of La Grande. The Howards providedthe applesfrom theirorchard, allowing the Zeta Chapter to pick as many as they needed.

The Zeta Chapter has been providing applesto teachersfor about two years. Previously, the chapter provided trays of cookies for Union County public school teachers. Members of the chapter switched to apples recently in part because apples are synonymous with education and teachers.

'Teachers and apples go together," Johnson said.

Teachersoften received applesfrom children in the United States more than a century ago because families

whose children attended schools were sometimes responsible for housing and feedingeducators,according to the website www.childrensmuseum.org.

Members of the Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma empathize with the challenges teachersface because all areformer or current educators.

'Teachers work hard and we want to show people in the community that we appreciate what they do," Hallmark sald.

The Zeta Chapter has about 30 members, all of whom work to help recognize teachers and students. The chapterprovides one ortwo scholarships each year to women with Union County connections pursuing careers in education. The scholarships are

often about $1,000 each.

Members of the Zeta Chapter also serve as mentors for those just entering the education field.

"Memberswant tobe available to help new teachers," Johnson said.

While t h er e's no one solution to affordable dental care there are a nu m ber of opt i on s that can help cut y our costs.

Here's where to look.

Medicare Advantage While original Medicare (Part A and B) and Medicare supple-

j

m ental poli cies do not cover r ou tine dental care,there are some

Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans that do. Many of these plans, which are sold through P'

private in s u r ance companies, c over dental care along wit h e y e c are, hearing and pr escrip t i o n

P

drugs, in addition to all of your hospital and m e dical i n s u r a n ce.

If you're eligible for Medicare, see medicare.gov/find-a-plan to look for Advantage plans in your area that covers dental care.

his is the time of year when many businesses are reviewing, refocusing and planning for the New Year.

As the planning process unfolds, there is hope that great things will take place, that breakthrough relationships, products and possibilities will surface and come to fruition.

The big caveat, often unstated, is that if the leadersin theorganization don't, won't or can't change, the business results are not likely to change much either.

The biggest shame for any leaderisplanning fora great year only to have to face the brutalfactsattheend ofthe year when the business is in worse condition than when the year started.

If you want a better 2015, I recommend that five promises be made and kept during the planning process and throughout the New Year.

First, vow to stop selling vanilla ice cream. Continuing to sel la"me too"commodity only leads to shrinking margins.

Many companies get into the trap of selling on price because they have not correctly positioned themselves in the market, but more importantly, because there is no viable reason for a buyer to pay more.

The leadership of a growing company is always on the hunt for a more compelling competitiveadvantage and the search for higher margins by developing products that are worthy and deserving ofhigher prices.

Second, retain the best and eitherengage orreplacethe rest. Every business is based on the quality of the people working in the organization.

The challenge of every leaderisto retain thevery best managers and to engage as many employees as possible.

• Homeowners, would-be homeowners eager forabargain ratefireoA'inquiriestolenders The Associated Press

A sudden plunge in mortgage rates last week raised an urgent question for millions of Americalls:

Should I refinance my mort-

gage?

Across the country, homeowners and would-be homeowners eagerfora bargain ratefired off inquiries to lenders.

The opportunity emerged from the tumult that seized financial markets and sent stock prices and bond yields tumbling. Rates on long-term mortgages tend to track the 10-year Treasury yield, which fell below 2 percent for the first time since May 2013.

Accordingly, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage, mortgage giant Freddie Mac

reported, dipped below 4 percent to 3.97percent — a tantalizing figure. As recently as January, the average was 4.53 percent.

Ultra-low ratesdocarry risks as well as opportunities. Charges and fees can shortchange refinancers who are focused only on the potential savings. And falling rates are often associated with the broader risk of an economic slowdown that could eventually reduce the income that some peoplehave to pay theirmo rt-

Those looking to refinance may be intrigued by plummeting mortgage rates last week.

Yet the tempting possibility of lockingin a sub-4 percent rate has a way of motivating people.

"It gets people excited," said Michelle Meyer, an economist at Bank of America."It gets m ortgage bankers excited.Itgets

prospective buyers excited."

The drop in rates could finally give homeowners like Issi and Amy Romem of Mountain View, California, the chance to refinance.

ONTARIO — Onion growers in Eastern Oregon say their customers may be more demanding than the federal government has been in setting new rules for irrigation water quality.

The farmers have long feared the proposed rules, but when revisions were released last month, they gave farmersaway to sidestep them, the Capital Press agricultural publication reported.

The Food and Drug Administration is working on

The revised produce rule givesfarmers alternatives, including establishing an intervalfrom the lastday of irrigation until harvest that would allow for potentially dangerousmicrobes to die off. Oregon State University researchersrecently started field trials to determine how quickly bacteria dies off

NEW YORK — Soaring inflation. A collapsing dollar. Bubbles in financial markets that would soon pop. One presidential candidateeven suggested that theFederal Reserve chairman should be roughed up.

Over the past five years, as the Fed has pumped ever-more moneyinto the financial system, critics have warned that it would lead to all kinds of disasters. Yet the central bank kept extendingits bond-buying program, known by the wonky name of quantitative easing, or QE. It was an unprecedented effort aimed at lowering borrowing costs, encouraging spending and reviving a dormant economy before it could slip backinto recession.

Now, $4 trillion later, QE is drawing to a close, so the question is: Did it work?

Economists have plenty of quibbles, but many agree that the Fed accomplished the bulk of its goals.

"Look at us now," says Anthony Chan, chief economist for Chase Private Client in New York. All of the jobs lost during the financial crisis have been recovered. The stock market has more than doubled, and inflation has remained tame.

"I have to say it was a pretty impressive success," Chan says."But other people define success differently."

At the tail end of 2008, the Fed cutits benchmark short-tenn lendingrate to arecord low to spur growth, then made an historic move.

It began the firstround of QE,buying $100 billionin bonds backed bymortgages every

wlnnlng.

If you want a better 2015, now is the time to start making plans for it.

month. The Bush administration had already hatched a number ofrescue progrms aimed at patchingup the banking system, and so the Fed's initial step met little resistance.

Liz Ann Sonders, the chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, compared the Fed's action to a famous scene in the movie "Pulp Fiction" when Vincent, played by John Travolta, revivesa woman near death.

"It was like Travolta slamming the needle into her heart," Sonders says."It was clearly the right thing to do."

The Fed's second round of quantitative easing, dubbed QE2, received a hostile reception.

In late August 2010, the economy had slowed to a crawl, and the big worry was deflation — a dangerous spiral of falling prices and wages. During a speech that month in JacksonHole,Wyoming, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke outlined a turnaround plan.

The Fed began buying $600 billion in U.S. government bonds that November to loud protests.

QE3 followed the next year, and the heatedrhetoricincreased.

John Boehner, the speaker of the House, argued that the Fed risked creating"hardto-control" inflation, a weak U.S. dollar and market bubbles. After entering the presidential campaign in 2011, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that it would be"almost treasonous"if Bernanke"prints more money" ahead of the election. Perry told an Iowa crowd"we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas."

term rate next year — a move that would likely lead tohigher mortgage rates, too.

But that assumption fell suddenly into doubt as stocks plunged amid fearsabout globaleconomic weaknesses, the spread of Ebola and the threat of the Islamic State militia group in the Middle East.

Seeking safety, investors poured money into U.S. Treasurys. Higher demand drivesup pricesforthose governmentbonds and causes theiryieldsto drop.

The yield on the 10-year note traded as low as 1.91 percent before ending the day at 2.14 percent. A stock market rally helped hft the yield to 2.20 percent. That suggested that the moment

"Seeing rates go down even more is something I wasn't expecting," he said.

"It reminds me that I need to do this now, before interest rates do go up."

Before last week, many bankers, lenders and borrowers had assumed that home loan rates would soon start rising closer to a two-decade average of 6 percent. That was based on expectations that the Federal Reserve would start raising its key short-

The growler fill station had a quick beginning, according to the Cornfords. They had their business plan drawn up in July, they said. All five of them have full-time jobs, too.

Debbie works for the City of La Grande in the Public Works Department, while

Nikkita is a nurse in the emergency room at the hospital and Devin works for the La Grande Fire Department as afi refi ghterand paramedic. Gary Cornford, who lives in the Tri-Cities area, works for CAT Welding, and Titus is aforesterfor Hancock Forest Management. ''We've spent hours here when we can with the remodel that we've done," Debbie Cornford said."So far, I think we've given our weekends and evenings here with everyone's schedule."

She said with Nikkita's and Devin's more flexible schedule, they're able to figure out a work schedule for Tap That between the five of them.

The Cornfords don't see an issue with owning a business together.

"Our family gets along well," Devin said.'We know how to work things out."

$221,000, a 0.5 percentage point decline in a mortgage rate would produce savings of $50 a month, according to a Bank of America analysis.

Still, it takes time for the savings to offset the costs of refinancing.

'There's no free lunch in this," noted Gary Kalman, executivevice president at the Center for Responsible Lending.
