5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2018 Canada ready to open the door to legal marijuana By ROB GILLIES and GENE JOHNSON Associated Press Ryan Remiorz/The Canadian Press Members of the media attend a preview for one of Quebec’s new cannabis stores in Montreal. Canada will become the second and largest country with a legal national marijua- na marketplace when sales begin at midnight Wednesday. TORONTO — Tom Clarke has been dealing marijuana ille- gally in Canada for 30 years. He wrote in his high school yearbook that his dream was to open a cafe in Amsterdam, the Dutch city where people have legally smoked weed in coffee shops since the 1970s. Turns out, Clarke didn’t have to go nearly so far to open his own retail cannabis outlet. On Wednesday, Canada becomes the second and larg- est country with a legal national marijuana marketplace. Uru- guay was first. Clarke, 43, will be among the first to legally sell recreational marijuana when his shop opens at midnight in New- foundland, Canada’s eastern- most province. “I am living my dream. Teenage Tom Clarke is loving what I am doing with my life right now,” he said. At least 111 legal pot shops are planning to open across the nation of 37 million people on the first day, according to an Associated Press survey of the provinces. That is a small slice of what ultimately will be a much larger marketplace. No stores will open in Ontario. The most populous province is working on its reg- ulations and doesn’t expect stores until next spring. Canadians everywhere will be able to order marijuana products through websites run by provinces or private retail- ers and have it delivered to their homes by mail. Canada has had legal med- ical marijuana since 2001, and amid excitement over the arrival of legal recreational pot, many in the industry spent the last days of prohibition on tasks familiar to any retail business — completing displays, doing mock openings and training employees to use sales-tracking software. “It’s been hectic,” said Roseanne Dampier, who joined her husband — both former welders — in opening Alter- native Greens, a licensed store in Edmonton, Alberta. “We have been extremely busy just trying to be able to meet that deadline.” Canada’s federal govern- ment, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, spent about two years planning for legalization, fueled by a desire to bring deal- ers like Clarke out of the black market and into a regulated system. Canada’s national approach has allowed for unfettered industry banking, inter-prov- ince shipments of cannabis and billions of dollars in investment — a sharp contrast with national prohibition in the United States. Nine U.S. states have legalized the recreational use of mari- juana, and more than 30 have approved medical marijuana. Camping: ‘They are part of our community and we want them to be safe’ Continued from Page 1A He worries about what hap- pens to the people who don’t leave: What kind of fines will they be asked to pay? Large fines could set a homeless per- son back for months or even years, he said. Most of the homeless peo- ple he knows in the woods have jobs. But “even though they’re working,” Nordquist said, “they’re working at jobs that can’t sustain them. They can’t get an apartment. They have to have three or four of them together to get one apartment and no one in this town is going to rent to three or four separate individuals. It’s a mess usually.” It is not the Astoria Police Department’s intention to dis- place people, Police Chief Geoff Spalding reiterated. Nor does Spalding plan to begin issuing any citations for camping. City councilors had delayed a vote to amend the rule earlier this month to give the mayor’s homelessness solutions task force time to meet and discuss how best to contact the people living in the woods and con- nect them with social services. On Monday, the group rec- ommended police include a resource guide from Clatsop Community Action with any 24-hour cleanup notices they post. The guide lists phone numbers and information for a wide variety of social services available in Clatsop County. The task force also recom- mended that any 24-hour cleanup notices be posted on a Friday with no action taken until a Tuesday, to give peo- ple several days to prepare and then have Monday to contact Clatsop Community Action. The ordinance is “not meant as a penalty to the homeless,” assured Mayor Arline LaMear. “I believe very firmly in the inherent worth of every single individual on this planet. I sympathize and empathize with the homeless. I have a homeless son in San Luis Obispo right now so I understand what’s going on.” “But we also have to pro- tect the rights of those who are living near the homeless Parking: Signs helped lessen issues Continued from Page 1A on the street, pleading, argu- ing and demanding that fans behave themselves, find some- where else to park and visit other sites in Astoria. The city later put up offi- cial signs in an attempt to solve the parking issues. Since the signs went up, things have not been as bad as they used to be, City Public Works Direc- tor Jeff Harrington said at ear- lier meetings. But the signs have not completely solved the problem.

Jones, who represents Uppertown, thanked Spalding and Harrington for their work with the neighborhood. “This is a really good rec- ommendation for a first step,” T UESDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 Follow us on Facebook! Jones, who represents the east side, where much of the known camping is occurring, says he hears from constituents often about camping-related issues. Neighbors have called police to report suspicious activity and officers have found stolen property in the woods. “We’re trying to be sensi- tive to everybody’s needs and find a balance,” Jones said. Another task force rec- ommendation is to appoint a member of the City Coun- cil to contact homeless people individually. Price, who is also a member of the homelessness solutions task force, volunteered. She will check to make sure the Alder and Maple Saw Logs & Standing Timber Northwest Hardwoods • Longview, WA Contact: John Anderson • 360-269-2500 We would like to thank everyone who made our 2 nd Annual Jordan’s Hope for Recovery Rally and Fun Run Joe Warren is coming to town! Thursday October 16th at 7pm Peace Lutheran Church 12th & Exchange in Astoria Joe Warren is an avid flyer fisherman, author, and fly tier for virtually all his life. He currently resides in Carson, Washington, in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. His presentation will be on Columbia River fly fishing. For more information, contact Rick with Rainland Fly Casters at rick@eyeofnewt.net people camping in the woods receive the resource guide and know how to contact Clatsop Community Action to access other services, said Raven Rus- sell, the development director for Helping Hands, who serves on the task force. In her role, Price will ask a series of questions like: Did you receive the cleanup notice? Have you been able to make other arrangements? Do you need assistance with relocating? Do you know of anyone else who has been removed that I should call? Her job will also be to let people know “they are part of our community and we want them to be safe,” Russell said. WANTED he said, while offering his own take on the phenome- non. “Most fundamentally, it’s a problem of around the world these crazy people think that was a good movie,” he said. Public is welcome! THE DAILY ASTORIAN encampments and we have to look at everybody, not just the homeless,” she added. “We’re looking at everybody in the city.” While City Councilors Cindy Price and Tom Brown- son have said they would sup- port finding land where the homeless can camp, no plans for camps are in place. Social service groups plan to provide homeless people in the woods with options for alternative housing. For those who suf- fer from post-traumatic stress disorder or have other reasons to be wary of group living sit- uations, Clatsop Community Action says they hope to pro- vide spaces at campgrounds like the KOA in Warrenton.
