NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A Audit: Portland should bill for services to campaign visits PORTLAND (AP) — Portland should follow its current policy and charge for police and other services provided when presidential campaigns visit the city, according to a report released Tuesday by the city’s auditor. The city hasn’t billed presidential campaigns for police protection, trafic control and other costs in nearly two years, as it has done in the past, the report said. Campaign visits from October 2014 to April 2016 have cost the city at least $180,000 in police regular and overtime pay. The audit recommended Portland charge political campaigns or event organizers for the costs of city services for future candi- date visits. It said the city could require advanced deposits and let organizers know about payment before the event, and recom- mended that the city determine whether collecting for recent visits is possible. “The Police Bureau fully agrees with and supports this recommendation,” Portland Police Chief Lawrence O’Dea wrote in a May 16 response included in the audit. O’Dea said his department has tried unsuccessfully in the past to get payment from campaigns and it was unable to collect on those fees without additional support from the city. The audit found a few cases where campaigns have reimbursed other towns and cities for police overtime, but it said it also found many other cities did not bill BRIEFLY 2 hikers rescued from shoreline of Crater Lake CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK (AP) — Parks oficials say two hikers were rescued Monday after they were stranded overnight on the shoreline of Crater Lake. Crater Lake National Park spokeswoman Marsha McCabe said one hiker sustained serious injuries when he tumbled while making the steep, rocky 1,100-foot descent into the caldera, the depression formed by the collapse of the volcano. He was taken to a hospital in Bend. Another hiker suffered minor hypothermia. She says the hikers, both 30-year-old men from the Seattle area, were trying to get photographs. A third friend reported them missing Sunday afternoon. Rescuers in a helicopter found them along the shore HEALTH OFFICIAL WARNING Go slow on pot edibles campaigns, or unsuccessfully tried to cover costs later. The Portland visits, including ones from President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, then-House Speaker John Boehner, Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, incurred city costs, the audit said. Former Gov. Jeb Bush also came to Portland, but auditors did not ind city services provided for those visits. Estimates show city costs range from a high of at least $89,000 in city services provided to Obama during a May 2015 hotel fundraiser and speech at Nike headquarters to a low of $400 for Kasich’s April town hall meeting. “Taxpayers and the City’s General Fund subsidized these political campaign events, even as donors were asked to contribute $500 to $12,500 at political fundraisers,” the audit said. “When City funds are scarce and the City has to prioritize many competing services, it is important for the City to recover its costs from private entities when it can.” Portland was reimbursed only once, when an event venue requested and paid for off-duty police oficers during Sanders’ visit last August. The audit recommended that if the organizers don’t pay, the city should follow collection procedures, including charging interests. at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, but the rescue operation was temporarily suspended because of darkness and hazardous terrain. The park says the rim of Crater Lake is especially dangerous this time of year because of large snowields in many areas. Hiking in the caldera is prohibited. SALEM — Oregon health oficials are urging novice marijuana users to start slow when pot-infused edibles are introduced in the state’s legal recreational market June 2. Since Oct. 1, anyone 21 and older may purchase a limited amount of cannabis lowers, seeds and starter plants. The Legis- lature earlier this year added edibles, extracts and non-psychoactive lotions, balms and oils to that list. “We are concerned about folks who are novice users,” said Jonathan Modie, spokesman for the Oregon Health Authority. “We are concerned about calls into the poison center, not just children but adults.” Health authorities adopted temporary rules last month on the sale of the new products. The rules take effect June 2 and expire Dec. 31, when the Oregon Liquor Control Commission is scheduled to take over regu- lation of the recreational marijuana program. Temporary rules restrict sales to one edible product and one extract per day to each customer. An edible product may contain no more than 15 milligrams of Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive chemical in pot. Extracts are limited to 1,000 milligrams. Customers may buy an unlimited number of topical products. The 15-milligram limit on edibles might be too potent for some people, health oficials said. “What we are telling the industry is they should divide it up into 5-milligram servings,” said Andre Ourso, manager of the state’s medical marijuana program. “At that point, we would recommend that they label it and say that it contains three servings.” Proposed permanent rules, effective Jan. 1, limit serving sizes to 5 milligrams of THC. Up to 10 servings will be allowed in each package. The proposed rules also impose stricter speciications for child-resistant packaging. “Part of the reason we chose the 15-milli- gram limit for the temporary rules is that labs can’t test for that low of a concentration without it being very expensive and can’t even give a good conidence level that, that is what it actually contains,” Ourso said, referring to the 5-milligram amount. “In proposed permanent rules, the labs will test the 50 milligrams in the package but won’t be required to test each serving size.” When eating the drug, it can take one to four hours to feel effects, he said. “If you aren’t feelings the effects after an hour, wait a couple of more hours, before consuming more,” Ourso said. “We would caution people to start out slow.” The Oregon Responsible Edibles Council has launched a public education campaign designed to guide new users through eating marijuana-infused foods for the irst time. The group’s Try Five Campaign advises consumers to eat no more than 5 milligrams 2 teens arrested after TriMet bus stolen from Portland lot PORTLAND (AP) — Two 15-year-old boys have been arrested after police say they stole a TriMet bus from the facility’s maintenance garage in Portland and took it for a spin. Portland Police said in a statement that the teens, both runaways, were stopped by Clackamas County sheriff’s deputies several miles away, in Milwaukie early Tuesday. The driver was lodged into a juvenile detention facility on charges of burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle and other charges. The other teen was also lodged into the facility. BEND (AP) — Oregon State Police say a man was fatally shot by police at the High Desert Museum in Bend. Law enforcement oficers responded to the museum on a report Tuesday afternoon of a disturbance that potentially involved a weapon. Oficers arrived and the man was shot by police. He died at the scene. Didn’t receive your paper? Call 1-800-522-0255 before noon Tuesday through Friday or before 10 a.m. Saturday for same-day redelivery 211 S.E.

WORLD CITIES Hi 89 92 87 61 78 68 68 72 84 65 77 of THC for their irst experience. “Fifteen milligrams is deinitely going to be too much for people who are unfamiliar with edibles, so we were really glad we were able to launch the campaign before edibles became available,” said David McNicoll, council founder and owner of Dave’s Space Cakes in Eugene. The council has a web site and has been distributing posters to put up in dispensaries and T-shirts for so-called “bud tenders” to wear when they’re selling products. “Everyone in the edibles industry should be behind this campaign because when there is overconsumption of edibles and people have bad effects it taints the industry as a whole,” said Leah D’Ambrosio, edibles council member and owner of Sconed in Portland. D’Ambrosio said even for some regular marijuana users, eating 15 milligrams of pot can be too much. “For someone who doesn’t smoke and is not used to ingesting marijuana, I advise eating 5 milligrams or even half of that just to see how it hits you,” she said. The processor, who makes pot-infused toffee and is planning on soon debuting scones — her company’s namesake — also produces edible decals. The decals are marked with a green cross and can be attached or baked onto marijuana-infused foods. The health authority already requires processors to add a symbol to packages showing that food contains marijuana, but the edible decal is meant to alert consumers that a food item contains marijuana, even after the product has been removed from its package, D’Ambrosio said. All of the Sconed sweets carry the symbol, and D’Ambrosio also is starting to market the decals to other processors. “It’s just another safeguard after the product is out of the package,” she said Multimedia Consultants • Jeanne Jewett 541-564-4531 • jjewett@eastoregonian.com • Terri Briggs 541-278-2678 • tbriggs@eastoregonian.com • Dayle Stinson 541-966-0806 • dstinson@eastoregonian.com • Stephanie Newsom 541-278-2687 • snewsom@eastoregonian.com • Audra Workman 541-564-4538 • aworkman@eastoregonian.com • Chris McClellan 541-966-0802 • cmcclellan@eastoregonian.com • Amanda Jacobs 541-278-2863 • ajacobs@eastoregonian.com SUBSCRIPTION RATES Local home delivery Savings off cover price EZPay $14.50 41 percent 52 weeks $173.67 41 percent 26 weeks $91.86 38 percent 13 weeks $47.77 36 percent *EZ Pay = one-year rate with a monthly credit or debit card/check charge www.eastoregonian.com — Jonathan Modie, Spokesperson, Oregon Health Authority ADVERTISING Advertising Director: Jennine Perkinson 541-278-2683 • jperkinson@eastoregonian.com Subscriber services: For home delivery, vacation stops or delivery concerns: 1-800-522-0255 — Founded Oct. 16, 1875 — “We are concerned about folks who are novice users.
