government on immigration
enforcement. Attorney Gen-
eral Jeff Sessions has threat-
ened to withhold federal grant
money from sanctuary cities,
but there is a legal cloud over
some practices — like federal
immigration detainer requests
at county jails — that may
need to be resolved by the fed-
eral courts.
Inclusivity resolutions —
vetted by local police chiefs
— do not conflict with state
or federal law, making them
more about recognizing immi-
grants than defying the Trump
administration.

A bill in the state Legislature would allow for salvaging
roadkill deer and elk.
Roadkill: Both bills
are now in the House
for consideration
Continued from Page 1A
Deer and elk
The bill applies only to
deer and elk, and does contain
a few provisions to discour-
age poaching. For example,
the animal cannot be hit and
killed off road, and salvage is
allowed only for human con-
sumption of meat. Antlers
must be turned over to the
wildlife department.
One
potential
pitfall
revolves around a state law
that allows people to kill crip-
pled or helpless wildlife “when
the killing is done for humane
purposes.” SB 372 would not
grant salvage permits under
that rule, unless the person ask-
ing for a permit was the driver
who hit and crippled the ani-
mal first in a vehicle collision.
Department of Fish and
Wildlife staff — including
Shannon Hurn, deputy direc-
tor for fish and wildlife pro-
grams, and Doug Cottam,
wildlife division administrator
— testified on the bill before
the Senate Environment and
Natural Resources Commit-
tee, expressing concern that
people might shoot a deer or
elk first and then strike it with
their vehicle, in order to pass it
off as a humane killing. They
pointed out there are five road-
kill poaching cases ongoing in
Washington since the program
was established.
Hansell said there is no way
to make the bill 100 percent
poacher-proof, and the good
of the program outweighs the
potential for poaching.
“Providing the ability to
salvage the meat would be able
to add just a little bit of a posi-
tive result to a negative experi-
ence,” he said.
If passed, SB 372 would
make salvage permits avail-
able no later than 2019. The
bill would sunset in 2024.
Senate Bill 373
Another bill sponsored
by Hansell and Barreto that
attempts to curtail urban deer
populations is also moving for-
ward in the Legislature.
Senate Bill 373 would cre-
ate a pilot program where cit-
ies could petition the wildlife
department to euthanize deer
“that constitute a public nui-
sance” within city limits.
The program would be vol-
untary, Hansell said. First, a
city would need to pass an
ordinance declaring a nuisance
urban deer population. The
city would also need to have
local laws that prohibit feeding
or luring wildlife into town.
“If the deer are there
because they’re getting a hand-
out, obviously they’re going to
stay there,” he said.
The city would foot the
bill to kill the animals, while
retaining the antlers and hides.
The meat would go to the Ore-
gon Food Bank. The program
would specifically prohibit
killing deer by dart or lethal
injection.
The program, which would
be crafted by the Oregon Fish
and Wildlife Commission,
must also contain provisions
that the number of deer that
are killed “do not exceed the
number necessary to be taken
to reduce the deer population
to a level that no longer consti-
tutes a public nuisance.”
Hansell said the idea started
with Dennis Sands, the mayor
of Joseph, who pointed out the
high number of deer in the city.
And though Joseph residents
ultimately rejected the pro-
posal, Hansell said the League
of Oregon Cities has indicated
the program could be used by
other communities statewide.
“(The League of Oregon
Cities) was very clear, this is
a bill they support,” Hansell
said. “I think it’s a win-win,
if this is something the cities
want to pursue. If they do not,
then they don’t have to.”
SB 373 also passed the
Senate on Thursday by a
vote 28-1 vote, and has a sun-
set date of 2029. Sen. Fred
Girod (R-Stayton) was the
only nay.
Both bills are now in the
House for consideration.
In Cannon Beach, the
inclusivity resolution was
drafted after several residents
approached Police Chief Jason
Schermerhorn about following
Astoria.
Schermerhorn said he then
went to the Lower Colum-
bia Hispanic Council to dis-
cuss the next steps and in the
hopes of building a closer
relationship with the Latino
community.
“I know there is a lot of fear
growing,” Schermerhorn said.
“We want people to know
we’re not actively seeking to
deport undocumented folk.”
The City Council on Tues-
day night passed a motion to
Balensifer, who was selected
by fellow commissioners as
mayor pro tem under Kujala,
is serving as acting mayor until
the appointment is made.
If the City Commission is
divided 2-2, Balensifer would
remain acting mayor until the
stalemate is broken or until the
2018 election.
Balensifer’s or Newton’s
appointment as mayor would
create a vacancy for their
commission
seats.
The
City Commission invited res-
idents interested in serving
to send the city a letter and
resume to be considered for
appointment.
If a decision on the mayor is
made on April 25, a meet-and-
greet with potential commis-
sion candidates would likely be
held on May 9.
hear the resolution at the next
council meeting, which was
met with a round of applause
from an audience of about 30
people.
Mayor
Sam
Steidel
applauded the resolution’s
similarities to Astoria’s state-
ment. “I was very impressed
with how Astoria’s resolution
worked,” he said.
While the resolution is a
start, Schermerhorn still wants
to build a better connection
with the Latino community.
“We would lose a lot of

community continued to live

Six month smiles is a
newer orthodontic
technique for teens and adults. The
concept is a cosmetic type of
orthodontic treatment with the goal
of reaching results in 6-9 months.
The technique utilizes clear tooth
colored brackets and wires which
are very space-age flexible to
rapidly and gently move teeth to
the desired positions. SMS does
not replace traditional orthodontics
for difficult and complex cases,
however it is a wonderful option
for many types of cases.
