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.

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
