The Vancouver, Wash- ington, resident is the proud owner of the car she calls “Mompala,” a trophy-win- ner at Muscle and Chrome in Seaside for the last two years. “My mother bought the car brand new in 1964 after rais- ing 13 kids,” Petersen said. “She paid cash for it. It was a pretty big thing for her to come home with a brand new car.” The car has been kept safe and sound in the family ever since her mother, Marie, died in 1999. “At shows, I build a shrine to my mother inside the car,” Petersen said. “My daughter made a special blanket and I have all these amazing pic- tures of my mom with her Chevy Impala. When I take Mompala to shows, I spread that blanket over the seat. It’s a real conversation starter.” When she was a child the car seemed small. “But now it seems like such a big car! The trunk is huge!” she laughed. Produced and coordinated PENDLETON — Com- mercial air service from Port- land to Pendleton in on thin ice because the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation plans to eliminate a subsidy to East- ern Oregon Regional Airport. The agency determined that not enough passengers are using the service to war- rant the subsidy. It has been subsidizing the Pendleton ﬂ ights at $213 per passenger Patty Petersen will be coming to Seaside for the Muscle and Chrome Car Show Saturday . ‘Flying solo’ Petersen is a single woman and takes care of the car on her own. “I have a mechanic but this is a ﬂ ying solo proj- ect,” she said. “I’m the young- est of 13. My brothers didn’t have an interest in showing the car, but I did.” That interest contin- ued through the years. “I’ve always loved classic cars.” Petersen said. “I’m a breast cancer survivor and the car keeps me grounded. Mompala is such therapy for me. It’s a good kind of nostalgia.” Whenever Petersen brings the car to a show lots of younger people look at it and appreciate its beauty, but the biggest response comes from older folks who like to stand around and tell their own clas- sic Impala stories. “I’ve had a lot of body work done on the car,” she said. “I know the story behind every ding and dent.” FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 63 48 46 Mostly cloudy with a stray shower Mostly cloudy with a shower ALMANAC Last 65 50 Partly sunny with a couple of showers Salem 44/65 Newport 45/57 Coos Bay 45/61 First July 4 July 11 La Grande 33/61 Baker 34/56 Ontario 48/67 Burns 34/54 Roseburg 43/65 Klamath Falls 35/54 Lakeview 40/51 Ashland 41/66 TOMORROW'S TIDES Astoria / Port Docks Time 4:59 a.m. 4:39 p.m. Low 1.1 ft. 2.2 ft.

The Bulletin reported that Seattle-based geothermal ﬁ rm AltaRock Energy Inc. leases land near the Newberry Vol- cano. Spokesman David Stowe says the AltaRock feels pretty conﬁ dent that its site could land the proposed Fron- tier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy. ‘Man’s world’ The lab would serve as a research site for scientists and engineers to develop and test new technologies for ener- gy-generating enhanced geo- thermal systems. Supporters say of the Newberry site say the facil- ity would bring tempo- rary construction jobs, aca- demic opportunities and an economic boost for local communities. Stowe says competition for the lab is stiff, with loca- tions in Idaho, Nevada, Cal- ifornia and Utah still in the running. New president: WSU spending habits unsustainable Associated Press process to craft the biennial budget. He’s working on a plan to balance the athletic depart- ment’s budget and will announce details in the com- ing months, Schulz told The Spokesman-Review. He said his public letter last month wasn’t intended to give the impression that Washing- ton State is in dire ﬁ nancial trouble. “When you’re a new leader, you look at what ﬁ nances and resources you have coming in,” he said. “And I’ve been talking to a lot of people in the senior leadership about the things we need to work on.” At a time of record enroll- ment and rapid development, WSU is poised to spend a lot of money in coming years. The university recently funneled nearly $132 million into capi- tal projects. Other projects worth $212 million are under construction, and another $240 million in projects are in the design and planning phases. Schulz said the school hasn’t identiﬁ ed funding sources for many of those proj- ects, and some proposals were approved by the regents “with- out a robust ﬁ nancial analysis.” The school’s chief ﬁ nan- cial ofﬁ cer, Joan King, said WSU has expanded to catch up with growing enrollment in the years since the reces- sion. The university has gained more than 2,300 students since 2008, a spike of 10 percent, for a current enrollment of about 25,700.

Kirk Schulz, who took over as president on Monday, ﬁ rst raised concerns about Wash- ington State’s ﬁ nancial situ- ation in a letter posted to his website last month. The former Kansas State University president scruti- nized capital spending deci- sions by WSU’s board of regents and the athletic depart- ment’s $13 million deﬁ cit. The university spends more than it takes in and relies too heavily on reserves, Schulz said.

Pendleton Airport Man- ager Steve Chrisman tells the East Oregonian that eliminat- ing the subsidy would make it expensive and burdensome for airlines to operate out of the city. The department is giv- ing Pendleton and other U.S. communities at risk of losing the subsidy a chance to ﬁ le an objection. The city took that step last week. & More!
