JANUARY 8, 2016, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A7 RULES: ‘They are easily ingested by children...’ (Continued from pg. A1) “Is there specifi c infor- mation from the state about quantities and the strains (of marijuana) that go into edi- bles?” Ryan asked. “Do they have to be made in an oven with a health code?” City Attorney Shannon Johnson said there are stan- dards that have to be followed. “There are signifi cant reg- ulations on the edibles,” John- son said. Ryan indicated she had done research on the topic since the December vote. “Has anyone received new information that changed their opinion?” she asked. “My research is based on other states and the challenges they have faced.” Councilor Roland Herrera said he understands there are stringent rules for recreational marijuana, just as there are for medical marijuana. Johnson said the rules mainly focus on packaging and marketing. “It must be child resistant for the package and marketing must not be aimed at minors,” he said. “I believe there are some specifi c dosage limits as well. There are stringent regu- lations in place.” Johnson said the items must be made by a licensed proces- sor in order to be sold in a li- censed shop. Herrera said he had looked at how items were packaged, since that was his initial main concern. Koho made a similar comment last month. After Johnson noted any- thing but a unanimous vote on the edible part would re- quire another future vote, Clark made her stance known. “Where I have a problem is the problems in other states with accidental poisoning (for edibles),” she said. “They are easily ingested by children and animals. When it comes to marijuana, it is not as likely to be ingested by a minor in smokeable form. It is more at- tractive when in edible form. If we’re going to have recre- ational availability of some- DINNER, continued from Page A1 thing potentially harmful, I don’t feel this is a helpful thing. I understand they are things people enjoy on a recreational basis, but I don’t think this in edible form will be a benefi t to the community.” With that, the motion to approve the amended ordi- nance was passed 5-2, with Clark and Ryan again voting contrary to the majority. “Any chance this would be the last time talking about marijuana in my term?” Koho asked. Johnson responded there will be discussion of a mari- juana tax coming later. He noted Monday was the fi rst day licenses for recreational marijuana shops could be ap- plied for, but the fi rst licenses aren’t expected to be fi nal un- til October. So-called “early sales” of recreational marijua- na are allowed at medical mar- ijuana shops, with a 25 percent tax added. That tax goes away at the end of 2016, replaced by a 17 percent statewide tax and an optional 3 percent local tax. Organizers will also work with representatives at Marion- Polk Food Share to plan meals ranging from chicken alfredo to corned beef and cabbage to shepherd’s pie. Rick Guapo, president of the MPFS, said the idea is to work in tandem as Keizer community leaders take on the effort. “We’re supporting them, but it wouldn’t be possible without Keizer people taking the lead,” Guapo said. St. Edward parishoner Ei- leen Zielinski, who is also a member of the MPFS board of directors, helped plant the seed now growing at the church. GOESCH, continued from Page A1 Daughter Tammy went to Stanford on a State Farm Foundation scholarship and worked for State Farm dur- ing the summers.

The hope is to draw attendees from all walks of life, from young fami- lies and seniors to the members of the homeless community. Guapo said seeing the pro- gram in action in Silverton clarifi ed the vision he had for MPFS as a whole. “Making sure no one is going hungry is about being a good community and the Community Dinner helps us be a better community,” Guapo said. Ideally, Guapo said, the din- ners will break down the bar- riers most are naturally given to erecting between themselves and others. “If we break bread together and start a conversation with our neighbor, we no longer think of them as someone not worthy of support. We see them as John or Sally and we get to know their story,” Guapo said. While the dinners will be free, freewill donations will be gratefully accepted. “There will be giving bas- kets on each table for those who want to give at the end of a meal. We hope it becomes self-supporting after a few months,” said Bay. Henny said St. Edward is also donating the use of fl at- ware and silverware to each meal to help cut down on the costs. “The mission is bringing all facets of the community to- gether to sit down for dinner,” Henny said. derwriter for a while. “He was a great example to his kids,” Sam said of his dad. “He’s a very hard worker. He’s honest in his dealings. He al- ways puts the other person fi rst in his relationships.” Sam recalled fi rst wanting to be a State Farm agent. “I went to Lancaster Mall with dad one night,” Sam said. “It seemed like everyone knew him. That was when it clicked. That’s what I wanted to do.” In 1981 Sam was offered the chance to run his own agency, with a caveat: he wouldn’t have the opportunity to share an offi ce with his dad. “That disappointed me, but I wanted to be a State Farm agent badly enough that I didn’t care,” Sam said. “That fi rst year I lived at his house, so we talked business all the time. We still do that.” Business&Services FOOT & ANKLE CARE FAMILY LAW FUNERAL HOME Your Feet Are My Specialty Divorce Custody Memorial Centers Cremation & Burial Dean McNabb, DPM ABPS BOARD CERTIFIED Spousal Support Sports Medicine Foot Surgery Heel Pain Fractures Ingrown Nails Neuromas Eggert & Associates PC Attorney at Law 960 Broadway St NE, Suite 2 - Salem Warts & Orthotics Nail Fungus Hammertoes Diabetic Foot Care Bunions Salem - 412 Lancaster Dr / 503-581-6265 Low Cost Cremation, Burial, & Funerals Simple Cremation - $495 Simple Direct Burial - $550 Traditional Funeral - $1,975 PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOOT & ANKLE 503-837-6111 www.ANewTradition.com 4905 RIVER RD N - KEIZER - 503.390.0959 CR GET ANSWERS CR NC CR FUNERAL HOME HEARING HEATING & COOLING We are Everything Except Overpriced Keizer Beltone YOUR COMFORT IS OUR BUSINESS Hearing 5466 River Road N.
