The plans are expected to be ¿nished by Oct. 1, after which the coalition can put out a bid for the framework. The coalition has raised 112,000 of the 1, they need for the planning phase, roughly 2 percent. Picken said the coalition has a few more fundraisers planned to close the gap, including a May 1 bene¿t concert from Seattle band La Luz at the Great Paci¿c Wine & Coffee Co. Once the coalition hits its goal for the planning stage, it will begin the fundraising process to pay for the framework. Picken said the coalition will raise money for construction BEND AP — Oregon of¿cials say candies, cookies and beverages infused with the active ingredients in marijuana won’t be available for recreational consumers for another month or two. It became legal last week for recreational buyers age 21 or older to purchase low-dose edibles at medical marijuana dispensaries, reported The Bulletin. First, however, the state must create rules for those sales, such as de¿ning a “low dose,” said Oregon Medical Marijuana Program Manager Andre Ourso. He said the Oregon Health Authority has already started drafting the regulations. “We don’t have a speci¿c date in mind; we’re preparing to do it as quickly as we can,” Ourso said. “That may be a month or two months.” Edible products like candies, lozenges or cookies are already available to medical marijuana card- holders in varying dosages.

She says her company will probably offer edibles to recreational users in milligram and milligram doses. She said the edible products can’t be presented in a way that makes them attractive to children or made by infusing an existing product with cannabinoids, ruling out gummy bears, for instance. High Grade Organics dispensary owner Nick Harsell sells cannabi- noid-infused chocolates, cold-brew coffee and ginger ale, among other items. He said he may have to tweak his offerings to suit the wishes of new customers. “Processors will have to repackage or make new batches for the recre- ational market,” said Harsell. For his part, Harsell says he’s “holding off taking in edibles until I see that de¿nition” of what constitutes a low dose. AMBULANCE: Clearview has new van for bariatric transfers 5ock ¿re station. No money exchanged hands. “The ambulance was donated to them,” Neeley said. “They didn’t want to make any money off of it.” The handoff has the blessing of Pendleton Fire & Ambulance. “We think it’s great,” said Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal Matt Benedict. “It’s going to help them out immensely.” Everyone seems to win here. Clearview has a 2016 van that will allow for bariatric transfers. Pilot Rock has a dependable ambulance and a less-depend- able one in reserve. Pendleton can depend on Pilot Rock for mutual aid. Continued from 1A Last Wednesday, Darrin called Deputy Fire Chief Mark Moore to ¿nd out if the depart- ment would be interested in the vehicle. Moore relayed the offer to Neeley. “Let’s go,” he said. They headed to Pendleton that very afternoon to take a look and liked what they saw. “It’s a four-wheel-drive vehicle with plenty of power,” Neeley said. “That’s a big deal for us in the winter.” On Saturday morning, Neeley returned to Pendleton to collect the keys and drive the ambu- lance to its new home at the Pilot FIRE: Current estimate for ¿re station would fall between ‘average’ and ‘good’ The vehicle was stripped of its lights and siren before going to Clearview, so Pilot Rock must shell out to replace those and also to put lettering on the ambulance. “Those are minor expenses,” Neeley said. Darrin Umbarger watched as the ¿re chief swung up into the driver’s seat, turned the key and brought the diesel engine rumbling to life. Umbarger smiled as the ambulance moved down the block and around the corner. ——— Contact Kathy Aney at kaney@eastoregonian.com or call 541-966-0810. Continued from 1A new equipment and vehicles, some- thing the city’s public safety capital reserve fund is not able to cover. “One way or another — having ambulances breaking down with patients or engines breaking down on the way to ¿res — is not a good thing,” Ciraulo said. “We’re getting very close to that point.” Several councilors questioned why the ¿re station’s .2 million estimate was signi¿cantly higher than the esti- mate from an aborted bond proposal from 201, which said a new ¿re station could be built for . million. Ciraulo said he didn’t know what went into the earlier estimate, but the current estimate was reÀective of the costs to build a new, no-frills ¿re station. City Councilor Paul Chalmers pointed to the Marshall & Swift building cost index, which states that the current estimate would fall between an “average” and “good” ¿re station. ——— Contact Antonio Sierra at asierra@ eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0836.
