The price will be be deter-

hopes will render a lower
igure than the hospital’s orig-
inal $387,000 asking price.
Ciraulo said Mackenzie, a
Portland-based design irm,
is still working on updated
designs for the ire station.
In addition to a modern
facility, the designs will
include room for a vintage
ire engine, a training room/
emergency operations center
and a substation for the police
department.
A portion of the bond will
go to buying new equipment
and vehicles.
“I have failing equip-
ment,” Ciraulo said. “Just two
days ago, I had an ambulance
break down in Walla Walla
that had to be towed back.
That is not uncommon. I have
ire engines breaking down
every day. There’s a structural
problem with the capital
replacement fund.”
Ciraulo will present a
more concrete proposal to the
city council Sept. 6, where he
will request the council place
a bond referendum on the
May 2017 ballot.
If the council approves
Ciraulo’s recommendation,
he said the ire department
union will immediately start
campaigning in support of
the bond.

‘Drone rodeo’ will showcase agricultural technology
By ERIC MORTENSON
EO Media Group
Organizers say a two-day “drone
rodeo” in Pendleton this month will
demonstrate the future of digital
agriculture.
The event will be held Aug. 18-19
at the Pendleton Airport. The site
is one of the national unmanned
aerial system (UAS) test ranges and
has become a focus of Pendleton’s
economic development efforts. Part of
the facility is now called the Oregon
UAS Future Farm, and is intended
be a proving grounds for equipment
developed by digital agriculture
pioneers.
Steve
Chrisman,
Pendleton’s
economic development director and
airport director, said drone and high-
tech ag companies are attracted by
Pendleton’s wide open spaces and
the wide variety of crops grown in
the region. While digital ag doesn’t
have the economic impact of a
250-employee manufacturing plant,
it does have a ripple effect, Chrisman
said.
The presence of light test teams
can lead to companies renting ofice
space or workshop space, he said. A
Virginia company, Digital Harvest,
has opened a branch ofice in Pend-
leton. “A certain percentage will
take up some level of permanent
residence,” Chrisman said.
Industry advocates believe agri-

culture is on its way to being one of
irst commercial adopters of drone
technology. Equipped with cameras
or other sensors, drones could spot
irrigation or pest problems, estimate
yield, do inventory or other chores.
In time, drones could communicate
directly with other unmanned farm
implements, and send them to take
care of problems spotted from the air.
The event is aimed at farmers, and
will include light and data-down-
loading demonstrations of various
types of unmanned vehicles.
“It’s an opportunity for growers
and drone guys to be in the ield
together,” said Jeff Lorton, the event’s
promoter and organizer.
The event includes a competition,
of sorts. Operators will program their
aircraft to launch from the airport, ly
to a nearby irrigation pivot and record
data with their cameras or other
sensors before returning.
“It’s a bit of a shootout,” Lorton
said.
Admission to the event is free but
registration is required.

Freeway work won’t
interfere with Round-Up
PENDLETON — The Oregon
Department of Transportation
announced its paving and striping
work along Interstate 84 in the
Pendleton area will not interfere with
the annual Pendleton Round-Up.
“During this time the contractor
will halt work on the freeway project
and all lanes and ramps will be open
to normal trafic,” according to the
statement from ODOT.
The project started Wednesday
from mile point 203.65 to 217.75 and
includes restricting east and westbound
lanes of I-84 to a width of 13 feet from
6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Work crews also
will periodically close the ramps at
exits 207, 209, 210 and 216.
The state road department estimated
it will complete the project on Sept.
16, when the Pendleton Round-Up
is underway. ODOT on Wednesday
stressed the project will not affect
trafic that week.
