A leading lady at Muscle and Chrome
Feds plan to drop
subsidy for Portland-
to-Pendleton fl ights
Petersen returns
with ‘Mompala’
Associated Press
By EVE MARX
For The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — When Patty
Petersen’s 1964 Chevro-
let Impala cruises down the
street, she’s thinking of her
mom.
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.”

BEND — The U.S.
Department of Energy is
considering a site in Ore-
gon’s Deschutes County for a
national geothermal research
lab.
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.

Petersen said it’s not
always easy being a single
woman with a classic car.
“The car world tends to be a
man’s world, so it’s nice when
women can be highlighted.
It’s very empowering not only
to me, but hopefully to other

PULLMAN, Wash. — The

school’s spending habits are
not sustainable.
Kirk Schulz, who took over
as president on Monday, fi rst
raised concerns about Wash-

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. And administrators hav-
