Cities setting rules for legal pot
Frank Edward Lalli
August 7, 1942 — October 31, 2016
By Andrew Selsky
Frank Edward Lalli
passed away Monday,
October 31, 2016 at home
with his wife by his side. He
was 74 years old. Frank was
born in his grandparents’
home in Sisters on August
7, 1942 to Frank Arther Lalli
and Pherne Winkle-Lalli.
Frank’s father was a log-
ger, so much of his child-
hood was spent living in log-
ging camps all over Central
Oregon. When he was 7, his
father passed away, leaving
his mother with four small
children. At that time, Frank
was left with his grandpar-
ents, who raised him.
Frank grew up in Sisters
and attended school until
he graduated in 1960. He
immediately joined the
Navy. When he came home
from boot camp he mar-
ried his high school sweet-
heart, Shirley Jean Rowe.
The next five years saw
him aboard various aircraft
carriers, including the USS
Enterprise during the Cuban
Missile Crisis. He wel-
comed daughter Sherry Lee
on July 9, 1961, and a son,
Frank Edward on March 11,
1963. Frank took his fam-
ily all over the East Coast,
living in Norfolk, Virginia;
Memphis, Tennessee; and
Patuxent River Naval base
in Maryland.
Five years of marriage
ended in divorce in 1965.
Frank served five more
years in the Navy, serv-
ing two tours in Viet Nam,
where he was awarded two
Purple Hearts as a helicop-
ter mechanic and pilot. He
achieved the rank of Master
Chief before he received an
honorable discharge in 1970.
The next years found him
driving trucks all over the
United States. For a time he
Associated Press
lived in the Tri-City area in
Washington and Salt Lake
City, Utah. He finally ended
up in Des Moines, Iowa
where he obtained a job
with Bridgestone/Firestone
at their tire plant, working
his way up to quality con-
trol manager. In 2005, after
23 years, he retired and
returned to Central Oregon.
Six months later, he married
his first love Shirley again,
on December 31, 2005. He
found pleasure in helping
to care for his mother-in-
law. He loved working in
the yard, spending countless
hours outside. He liked to go
camping in their trailer, his
favorite place being Belknap
Hot Springs.
He was a lifelong Cubs
fan, but didn’t quite make it
to see them win the World
Series. He was preceded in
death by his parents; a sister,
Barbara Lalli; and two broth-
ers, John Lalli and David
Ludwig. He leaves his wife,
Shirley, and two children – a
daughter, Sherry Lee Burke
and a son, Frank Edward
Miller, both of Bend; seven
grandchildren, and four
great-granddaughters.
Services will be held
Saturday, November 26,
2016 at the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints
in Sisters at 12:00 noon. The
family requests, in lieu of
flowers, donations be made
to Hospice of Redmond.
SALEM (AP) — Some
30 counties and cities in
Oregon approved some type
of marijuana businesses in
last week’s election, and offi-
cials in those communities
now must establish rules for
every step in the production
and supply chain.
When voters legalized rec-
reational marijuana statewide
two years ago, the communi-
ties — from the cowboy town
of Pendleton to Sweet Home
in the Willamette Valley —
opted out. But many switched
it up this month, voting to
allow at least some form of
the pot industry, including
medical marijuana.
“No one has done this
in Oregon since liquor
Prohibition,” said Scott
Winkels, a lobbyist with the
League of Oregon Cities.
“This is the first time we’ve
had to step in and develop and
regulate a marketplace for a
controlled substance since
1933.”
Local officials must deter-
mine operating hours for
marijuana retailers, growing
farms and processors. They
also were trying to figure out
whether the businesses should
be allowed near parks and
what sort of security and odor
controls the businesses must
provide.
The rule-setting also was
happening in other states that
have legalized recreational
marijuana.
In California, which
approved pot last week,
the San Jose City Council
imposed a temporary ban —
including on outdoor gardens
— to give officials time to
develop regulations for sales
Treat friends
and family to...
and farming.
In Colorado, where voters
passed marijuana in 2012, the
rules were still being tweaked.
This month, Denver
became the first U.S. city
to allow people to use mari-
juana in bars and restaurants,
though state licensing offi-
cials announced a rule Friday
that prohibits businesses with
liquor licenses from allow-
ing pot consumption on their
premises. The move strikes
a major blow to the voter-
passed initiative.
In Oregon, the Liquor
Control Commission didn’t
begin finalizing regulations
and licensing businesses until
this year. The communi-
ties that approved marijuana
businesses on Election Day
are now starting to look at
regulations.
“Most have been borrow-
ing from each other,” said
Rob Bovett, legal counsel
of Association of Oregon
Counties, describing efforts
to establish ordinances.
Opt-in ballot measures go
into effect in January, Bovett
said. If the jurisdictions
want to reap the tax benefits
at the earliest opportunity,
they should have the regula-
tions finalized before then
so marijuana companies can
seek licenses and start doing
business, liquor commission
spokesman Mark Pettinger
said.
The League of Oregon
Cities has drawn up a guide to
help struggling local officials.
It says cities may impose
restrictions on the hours of
operation and the locations of
producers, processors, whole-
salers, as well as retailers and
medical marijuana grow sites,
processing sites and dispensa-
ries. They may also regulate
public access and how the
businesses operate.
“Probably most cities will
use (the guide) as a template,”
Winkels said. “The easiest
way is to cut and paste the
ordinance in ... though some
will probably be making local
adjustments.”
This is the first time
we’ve had to step in and
develop and regulate
a marketplace for a
controlled substance
since 1933.
— Scott Winkels
Robert Snyder, lawyer for
the town of Sweet Home, said
forming the rules is “going
to take work” and that it will
be up to the city council to
decide whether to get public
input.
One marijuana ballot mea-
sure that passed last week
imposed a 3 percent local
sales tax on marijuana prod-
ucts, on top of a 17 percent
state sales tax, Bovett said.
Even counties and cit-
ies that decided to prohibit
marijuana businesses hedged
their bets by approving the
additional tax so they can be
prepared to impose it if voters
eventually say yes to pot.
“All (of Oregon’s) 111 cit-
ies and counties voted yes on
the local tax,” Bovett said.
