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-

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.

The Community Din-
ners will be modeled after like
events in Silverton, where a
similar program was started in
2008 and now serves about 400
people each time out. 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.”
