Shaindel Beers, Pioneer Humane

second load of pet supplies remains
grounded in Pendleton.
“We need more publicity to get
enough donations to have a truck
load and gas money,” she said.

The animal shelter had plenty
of dog food thanks to a program
to help provide the kibble to low
income and homeless dog owners.
Cat food, though, was in short
supply.
Beers said she went to social
media on Saturday for donations

Liam, wearing his Spider-Man

food shopping at the Pendleton

Now the goal is to move other

have plenty of pet food, Beers said,
but they do not have pet collars,
leashes, toys, litter boxes and more.
“They sort of need every pet

In anticipation of celebrating 100 years, the
application process for Happy Canyon princesses is
earlier than usual. 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.

to commit their time in getting the horses dressed and
ready for parades and appearances.
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.

A community survey
conducted by Pendleton
Development Commission
revealed a mixed bag.
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

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-

While younger Pendle-
tonians were the least likely
to respond the survey, they
were also the most likely to
desire business ownership.
Of the 50 respondents
who wanted to open a busi-

ZKLOHSHUFHQWZHUH
Younger residents were
also twice as likely to use
the grants and loans made
available
through
the
commission.
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.

action the council took was
to approve a 20-year ground
lease with WCCL Trucking

and B Avenue at the Eastern

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.
