Outdoor School initiative qualiies for ballot

Local, state and federal law enforcement oficials gathered on Friday to remove
an explosive device from the water near the public beach area at the north end of
Wallowa Lake.
Authorities remove explosive
device from Wallowa Lake
Discovered pipe
bomb weeks ago
By SCOT HEISEL
EO Media Group
Federal, state and county
law enforcement oficials
converged at Wallowa Lake
on Friday afternoon to retrieve
and disable a small device that
was discovered under water
near a public beach.
Wallowa County Sheriff
Steve Rogers said a group of
off-duty search and rescue
members was diving near the
area at the north end of the
lake “about two weeks ago”
and found the device during a
recreational dive.
The divers identiied
their discovery as a possible
explosive device and reported
it to the sheriff’s ofice, which
notiied state and federal
authorities. An FBI dive
team was then assembled
and tasked with removing the
device.
Members of the Oregon
State Police also were brought
in to handle the device once it
was removed from the water.
OSP Explosives Specialist
Dennis Wagner from the
Hermiston ofice described
the pipe bomb as a cylinder
“about one inch in diameter
and eight inches long and
wrapped in black tape.”
Wagner and another OSP
trooper took the device to a
safe location outside of Joseph
and detonated it soon after it
was removed from the lake.
Wagner said it was dificult
to estimate how powerful the
pipe bomb was since other
explosives were used to
Scot Heisel/Chieftain
The explosive device was discovered underwater in
the small channel (background, right) that feeds into
the Wallowa River.
initiate detonation. However,
he agreed that it certainly
was more powerful than an
M80 and closer to a stick of
dynamite.
“In my opinion, it probably
was some teenagers who
made this and left it there,”
Sheriff Rogers said. “Our
main concern was the safety
of the public. There was
concern that this thing would
be dragged out onto the bank,
dry out and then detonate.”
The device was discovered
just east of the public beach
and boat launch area at the
north end of the lake. It was
in the small channel that feeds
into the Wallowa River.

SALEM — An initiative petition to fund
a statewide outdoor education program
with Oregon Lottery revenue has qualiied
for the November general election ballot.
The Secretary of State’s Ofice
conirmed Friday that the campaign for IP
67 gathered 93,102 valid signatures, about
5 percent more than the 88,114 require-
ment. The campaign turned in 135,538
signatures, but not all of those could be
veriied.
Campaign leaders said earlier this
month they were conident the proposed
measure would qualify.
“We are very excited Oregonians are
going to get a chance to support statewide
funding for outdoor school,” said Paige
Richardson, campaign director of the
Outdoor School initiative.
The ballot measure would dedicate 4
percent of lottery revenue — as much as
$22 million per year — to pay for a week
of outdoor school for 50,000 students and
3,000 high school counselors.
State Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose,
has criticized the measure because it would
siphon money from other lottery-supported
programs. The measure also would reduce
the lexibility of the lottery fund, which has
allowed lawmakers to use lottery money
during the recession to sustain services,
Johnson said.
“IP 67 sounds great on the surface, but it
is fraught with unintended consequences,”
Johnson said. “The bottom line is there is
only so much money, and lottery money is
the most lexible money we have, and if
we are repurposing the money for speciic
inancial obligations, we are taking it away
from something else.”
The Secretary of State’s Ofice has until
Aug. 7 to verify signatures for initiative
petitions, which were due July 8. The only
initiative petition still awaiting veriication
is a proposed measure to prohibit the sale
of products made from 12 endangered
species.
