The princesses have a busy schedule throughout the year and 2016 will be even busier with additional special events celebrating the centennial. It’s a huge commitment, but the rewards are large, according to Clay Briscoe, Happy Canyon Court and Indian director. The two young ladies will represent Happy Canyon through their knowledge of the event and their tribal history and culture. They must be able to ride, be comfortable around horses and be outgoing around people and crowds.

The completed application is due by Wednesday, Sept. 30. The selection committee will choose a number of applicants who will be invited to a formal interview. Candidates are expected to wear their buckskin regalia. In addition, they will present and explain their horse trappings. Also, the princess applicant’s horse crew must be present and interviewed as part of the process.

On one hand, a majority of the people surveyed were aware of the commission and how they could help develop downtown area businesses. On the other, most of those people had no intention of starting a business. Charles Denight, the commission’s associate director, presented the ¿QGLQJV DW D FRPPLVVLRQ meeting Tuesday. The commission included the survey with recent bills sent out by the city, getting DQ SHUFHQW UHWXUQ RQ WKH VXUYH\V WKDW ZHUH issued. Denight said the survey was meant to gauge Pend- leton residents’ awareness of the commission and its programs, with the results used to formulate strategies and improve services. The respondents skewed older and educated — more than half who returned surveys were 55 or older and college graduates. Pend- leton’s largest age demo- JUDSKLFUHVSRQGHGDW a less than 5 percent rate.

Denight said the disparity between the number of young respondents and their desire to open a business was noteworthy. He said one way the commission could better reach out to potential young business owners is through social media, citing conver- sations he had with attendees at the Pendleton Home and Outdoor Show in April. “When you’re trying to reach young people, they tend to live on Facebook,” he said. Denight is still analyzing the data gleaned from the survey and will present a more comprehensive response at a meeting in October, when Portland urban renewal consultant Elaine Howard will meet with the commission to discuss its strategies. The commission meeting was immediately followed by an unusually light city council meeting. 7KH RQO\ VLJQL¿FDQW action the council took was to approve a 20-year ground lease with WCCL Trucking & Trucking for a property at Northwest 51st Street and B Avenue at the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport.

Although some coun- cilors were concerned the rent was too low, Steve Chrisman, airport manager and economic development director, said the rental price was consummate with the property’s “curb appeal.” The council also unani- mously agreed to cancel the Sept. 15 city council and development commission meetings, which coincide with Round-Up week. ——— Contact Antonio Sierra at asierra@eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0836.
