REDBLUFFCHAMBER PHOTOCOURTESYWWW.BANGARANGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM The farmers market in 2015is pictured. Downtownmarket kicks off tonight It's almost Father's Day. If you're a dad with young children, you can ex- pect some nice home- made cards and maybe even a base- ball cap. But, of course, your great- est reward is spending time with your kids and watching them grow. In return, you can give them a gift — the gift of knowledge. Specif- ically, in the months and years ahead, teach them the financial skills that can help make their lives easier and more rewarding. For starters, encourage your children to become savers. You can do this in a couple of different ways. First, set a good example. You might explain to your kids that you want to buy a certain item, but you are waiting for it to go on sale. Or, if it's a particularly big- ticket item, like an ultra high-definition television, tell your children that you simply can't afford it now, but that you are putting away some money each week until you can. You might even make a chart showing your progress. Another way to help your children become bet- ter savers is to provide them with a monetary in- centive. To illustrate: For every dollar they put into a "piggy bank" or an ac- tual savings account, tell them you'll put in, say, 50 cents. They are likely to be pleased and excited by how much faster their money grows with your contribution, and they may well become more motivated to save. Fur- thermore, you'll be giv- ing them a valuable les- son for later on in life, when they work for a business that offers to match their contributions to a 401(k) or other re- tirement plan. Unfortu- nately, many young peo- ple, upon taking on their first "career" jobs, either under-contribute to their retirement plans or ig- nore them completely — thereby making it more likely that, later on in their working lives, they will have to come up with much bigger sums each year to accumulate enough resources for a comfortable retirement. Learning to save is cer- tainly important — but children should also learn about investing. To help get your children inter- ested in becoming inves- tors, point out that they can actually own shares of companies with which they are already famil- iar — the companies that make the games they play, the movies they watch and the food they eat. In fact, you could even simulate the investment process by letting them choose a stock and then follow it. To make the results more tangible, use "play" money to represent an initial in- vestment, and add or sub- tract to the pile to track the ups and downs of the real stock. You might even explain some of the rea- sons for the stock's move- ments; for example, if you and your child are follow- ing the stock of an enter- tainment company, and that company produces a blockbuster movie that leads to sequels, spinoffs and merchandise tie-ins, you can point out how these developments have pushed up the company's stock price. You might also explain that while these short-term price movements are inter- esting — and maybe even fun — to follow, investing is actually a long-term en- deavor, and the best inves- tors often hold stocks for many years before selling them. By following these sug- gestions, you can help your children acquire good fi- nancial habits — and see- ing them put these skills to good use can provide you with many happy Father's Days in the future.

CO RNI NG C HA MB E R The Associated Press BEND, ORE. The U.S. De- partment of Energy is considering a site in Or- egon's Deschutes County for a national geother- mal research lab. The land near New- berry Volcano is leased by Seattle-based geo- thermal firm AltaRock Energy Inc., which per- forms testing there. It's one of several locations under consideration for the proposed Fron- tier Observatory for Re- search in Geothermal Energy "We feel pretty confi- dent," AltaRock Spokes- man David Stowe told The Bulletin (http://bit. ly/1U6NDMc ). But he acknowledged that "the competition is pretty stiff," with sites in Idaho, Nevada, California and Utah still in the running. Supporters say of the Newberry site say the fa- cility would bring tempo- rary construction jobs, academic opportunities and an economic boost for local communities. The DOE lab would serve as a research site for scientists and en- gineers to develop and test new technologies for harnessing geother- mal energy. Researchers believe that tapping into up to 2 percent of the geothermal energy po- tential in the West could power the nation many times over. Geothermal technol- ogy wouldn't contribute to greenhouse gas emis- sions and could oper- ate consistently, unlike intermittent solar and wind-powered resources. Three potential lab sites will advance to the next round and split about $30 million in En- ergy Department fund- ing for planning and per- mitting before the DOE chooses a final site. The department plans to spend at least five years implementing the lab. Stowe said research- ers hope to perfect en- hanced geothermal tech- niques and make them more efficient by that time. AltaRock has already conducted enhanced geothermal testing at the Newberry site and part- ners say they have the only site on the side of an active volcano.
