By MARK BAKER The Register-Guard SUTHERLIN — Harry Pinsent is not blowing smoke when he says he’s a big supporter of Oregon’s nearly week-old law legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. “I wanted to make a statement, basically,” says Pinsent, sitting in his Magic Mushroom/Oregon Gifts shop that sits just on the east side of Interstate 5. “It’s been illegal now for (years). It’s a plant. It should be legal. So, I did it as a protest.” :KDW WKH \HDUROG 3LQVHQW GLG during the past six months was build what is perhaps the world’s largest doobie (that’s a marijuana cigarette, for those still not up on their weed lingo) so he could put it on top of his shop for I-5 travelers to see. 1RLW¶VQRWUHDOO\¿OOHGZLWKSRWMXVW made out of foam, chicken wire and cardboard. But the point of this joint is getting across, even if not every one in this Douglas County town is exactly buzzing with delight over Pinsent’s display. “I do not feel like that is a good representation of Sutherlin as a city or a community,” says Tami Trowbridge, president of the Sutherlin Area Chamber of Commerce. “And I’m not so sure I’m pleased that he has such great freeway access.” A pot smoker for 50 years, and a grower who has a medical marijuana card (for aches and pains, he says), Pinsent realizes that in a conservative WRZQ ZLWK SDWULRWLF IHUYRU KLV IRRW long joint might not be a hit with everyone.

Pinsent christened his big joint last week with friends who helped build it in his home studio. They also tossed, from the store roof, free joints and baggies ¿OOHGZLWKQRZOHJDOSRWWRWKRVHZDLWLQJ eagerly in the parking lot below. “Beautiful,” Pinsent says of the event. “Lovely. There were lots of people here. Everyone was smiling and cheering, especially when the joints were being tossed off the roof.” Pinsent says he got the idea for creating his supersized joint last year while smoking pot with friends. “And I took a hit on a joint, pulled it back like this,” he says, mimicking holding a marijuana cigarette with thumb DQGLQGH[¿QJHUDQGORRNLQJFORVHO\DW it, “and I said, ‘This would look fabulous if it were a thousand times bigger.’?” 3ROLFHVSUD\WHDUJDVRQMXYHQLOH LQPDWHVGXULQJORFNGRZQ SALEM (AP) — Several male youths who locked themselves inside a unit at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility had to be hospitalized after police used tear gas to get them out. The Statesman Journal reports that a group of minors and an 18-year-old barricaded themselves in a room at the Woodburn facility Monday. Oregon State Police, SWAT members, along with Woodburn and Hubbard police departments, responded to negotiate with the group. A police spokesman says the group had gotten into an area where prescription drugs were housed. Police dispersed tear gas after hours of failed negotiations. One minor was taken to a Portland hospital for a drug overdose. Five others were taken to Salem Hospital where they were treated and released. The adult is now facing charges in Marion County jail. State reaches tentative deal with state workers union Department of Corrections. Key provisions, as announced by the union Wednesday: • Cost-of-living adjust- ments totaling 5 percent over the contract; 2.25 percent on 'HFDQGSHUFHQW again on Dec. 1, 2016. • Health insurance plans with options of a 95-5 percent cost split for employees who choose the more expensive of the two plans, or 99-1 percent for those choosing the plan of less cost. Employees once had fully paid state insurance, but cost-sharing has been instituted. By PETER WONG Capital Bureau SALEM — The state has reached a tentative two-year agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the union that represents the second-largest group of state workers. The agreement was reached late Tuesday after a 14-hour bargaining session. It is likely to set the pattern for other labor settlements, although this one applies only to 3,000 AFSCME-rep- resented workers outside the • The day after Thanks- giving is now a paid holiday for AFSCME-represented state employees. “This agreement makes particular advancements on health care issues and equitable wage increases,” said Ken Allen, the union’s executive director and chief negotiator. “We will whole- heartedly recommend passage to our membership.” 7KH UDWL¿FDWLRQ SURFHVV will start in about two weeks. Negotiations are continuing with the 3,000 AFSCME-represented employees in the Department of Corrections, and with other unions, including Local 503 of Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 16,000 state workers. SEIU also represents workers at Oregon’s public universities.
