Froelich Engineers and other
subcontractors are already
starting to put together plans for
a new steel framework for the
theater.
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.

director at DiamondTree, which oper-
ates two dispensaries in Bend and one
in Madras. 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.

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.

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.
